Sisterhood's Biggest Impediment
Over the last few years, I have spent more time than I care to admit sitting around talking to sorority women about sisterhood. Hours and hours of conversations about sisterhood. This has not been for my health, nor has it been for my own amusement. If you are not familiar with the research that Josh Schutts, Sarah Cohen and I are doing related to sisterhood, you can read more about it here.
The least altruistic version of sisterhood, or what one woman described as the "sisterhood of selfishness," is sisterhood based on shared social experiences. Women who think of sisterhood in this way view the sorority as a primarily social outlet, and see the main purpose of their membership as "meeting people and having a good time." We also see that, relative to men, women are more likely to join a group based on their perception of its social status rather than the sense of belonging and connection they feel to the group. Anecdotally, we have all experienced this. Fraternity/sorority advisors who have worked with sorority and fraternity recruitment understand this phenomenon all too well. We all know her – the PNM on preference night who sits at the voting computer in agony for hours trying to decide between her groups. Our research tells us that, very often, her inner monologue might go something like this:
"I really like Gamma Beta – I really felt a connection to those girls. I feel like I could really be at home there. But….the Kappa Theta's are the best sorority on campus. Everyone wants to be there. I'm not sure I liked the girls as much, but would I be crazy not to rank them first? I'm so confused! I don't know what to do!"
The agonizing choice between joining the chapter where one feels at home and connected vs. the chapter where one is likely to enjoy the highest social status is one that plays out in every recruitment voting lab on every college campus in America multiple times over.
Have you ever noticed that this agony is much less prevalent with men? How many times have you sat with a prospective fraternity member on bid day who was agonizing over his decision of which fraternity to join. In my ten years as a F/S advisor, I can remember only one. The reason for this is that men are much more likely to join the place that they feel that they best fit in. To them, the decision is easy – most men join where they feel the greatest sense of belonging. This is clearly evident in our research on brotherhood, as brotherhood based on belonging accounts for an overwhelming amount of the variance in our overall brotherhood model. This is the most salient form of brotherhood, and the type of connection that most men crave in a fraternity experience. In addition, fraternity men measure significantly higher than sorority women on the construct of belonging. Simply, the conflict between joining a chapter where you feel at home and a chapter with social clout is much more pronounced with sorority women than with fraternity men.
The fact is, a great number of women join the wrong sorority for the wrong reasons. They join an artificially constructed social image for social reasons instead of a group of people with whom they connect. As a result, many sorority members get stuck in a schema of sisterhood in which the social aspect of the sorority takes precedence over more altruistic forms of sisterhood. Women who join the social image only care about the social image, and sisterhood suffers as a result.
Why does this happen with such regularity? Why are so many women joining sororities for the wrong reasons?
The answer, I suspect, lies in the manner in which sororities recruit their new members.
Sorority recruitment is sisterhood's biggest impediment.
The manner in which we bring new members into sororities is the reason that so many young women join for the wrong reasons, and is the reason that more altruistic forms of sisterhood are so difficult for many chapters to attain.
I want to lay out five reasons that sorority recruitment reinforces the social nature of sisterhood at the expense of more altruistic forms of sisterhood. I will present this list not in my own words, but in the words of women we have interviewed about sisterhood in the last two years. You see, it isn't just my opinion that sorority recruitment is problematic – it is a theme that has come up TIME AND TIME AGAIN in our hours of interviews and focus groups related to sisterhood.
So, in the words of sorority women across the country, here are five reasons that sorority recruitment is bad for sisterhood:
The Structure
"How are you supposed to really get to know someone and what they are about in 20 minutes?"
"The whole process is just one big production. It isn't about getting to know the girls going through – it is about selling an image of what we want them the think about us. There's no way you can really get to know the girls going through during recruitment. Once you get in and see what its really like, you become kind of jaded."
The structure of sorority recruitment is incredibly ill-suited for allowing women to connect with one another in any sort of deep, meaningful way. Depending on the campus, the "first round" of structured recruitment is anywhere from 15-30 minutes per party. So, young women have roughly 20 minutes to find out whether or not they find a deep sense of connection and belonging with a group of people. In the meantime, they have been strictly forbidden from having any sort of conversations with sorority members for the last six months outside of a 20 minute party. The sorority is evaluating you, and you are evaluating the sorority, based on a 20 minute conversation. The entire concept is outlandish. At the most basic level, the process works in terms of moving women through the process and having good retention through bid day, but the impression that it leaves with new members is one that reinforces the social nature of sisterhood ("I'm being evaluated based on what I'm wearing, how I look, and the impression I leave after a five minute conversation with someone who doesn't know me at all") that creates so many problems for our chapters.
By forcing both chapters and potential members to make fast decisions based on very surface-level observations and conversations, we are reinforcing the very negative TSM stereotypes that we try so fastidiously to avoid. By not giving women an opportunity to connect with one another in meaningful ways, we set up a system whereby most people use social prestige as the lone measuring stick of which sorority is best for them, and chapters are left to make decisions about prospective members based on their looks and one very brief, surface level conversation.
"The sisterhood videos are the worst thing. I hate glitter."
"The videos are all cute, cute, fun, fun instead of what the sorority is really like."
"OMG look we have the best sisterhood! Not really. These videos are not genuine with new members about what the experience is really like."
The recent controversy related to the Alpha Phi recruitment video at the University of Alabama was so bizarre to me because that video was indistinguishable from the hundreds of other videos I've seen in the last few years. Perhaps the lakeside, bikini-clad, inflatable candy blow up toy fight was a bit over the top, but otherwise, that video was pretty milquetoast. These videos have become all the rage in recent years.
These videos usually represent the absolute worst that sororities have to offer – the surface level, social nature of sisterhood. Blowing glitter and/or bubbles into various and sundry bodies of water; holding hands and skipping through random places on campus; synchronized jumping; more glitter. You get the idea.
Who are these videos targeted towards, and exactly what message are they trying to convey? My guess is that these videos are productions whose aim and purpose is to supplant a realistic version of sorority life with a made up dream-world where everyone walks around with endless supplies of glitter in their pockets. These videos promote the idea that sisterhood is all about looking good and having fun. As a result, the wrong women are joining sororities. These videos target the "always joiners" – those women who are joining the stereotype – instead of the maybe joiners, who really want to know how being in a sorority will add value to their college experience. Instead of serious students looking to make an impact, these videos tend to attract students who are only interested in the social aspects of sorority life. The result? Chapters where sisterhood is a largely social construct, made up of members who joined a social image and not a group of women dedicated to making one another and society better.
The Instagram Feed
"We've created an environment where our members feel entitled and get upset if they aren't featured on the chapter's Instagram before recruitment."
"I don't see a lot of pictures of us studying or doing service [on the Instagram feed], which would be a more realistic depiction of what it's really like."
"It creates an environment where no one wants to do the work – they just want to take selfies."
In addition to recruitment videos, highly produced Instagram photos now litter the college sorority landscape. Rare is the chapter that does not have its own Insta account, and rare is the account which doesn't include overly produced, unrealistic, staged photoshoots. There is an arms race among sororities on most campuses to see which chapter can get the largest number of PNM's to follow their Instagram account. Those who follow these accounts are bombarded with images that bear little to no resemblance of what sorority life actually entails.
Much like the videos, the Instagram accounts promote a sisterhood of superficiality – where pretty members do pretty things in pretty outfits, flashing the sorority hand sign in conspicuous places. I have never seen a chapter Instagram account feature pictures from a chapter service project, a late night study session, or any other "real" activities that go on in a sorority on a daily basis. Instead of seeing and joining what is "real," prospective members are bombarded with and join artificially constructed images that are anything but real.
The Skits
"The skit – it's all about trying to seem to be something we aren't."
"I think [the skit] is about social status and fun and how we look rather than promoting or attaining values."
Skits during recruitment have long been the whipping-boy of the "no-frills" movement. It is surprising, then, that so many campus Panhellenic recruitment processes still feature some variation of a skit night. Proponents of the skit love to point out that skits give the chapter an opportunity to "showcase its personality." This viewpoint is not shared by the majority of the women I have spoken to in the last two years. They view skits no differently than they view videos or any other productions that portray an unrealistic version of sisterhood.
The skit is problematic not only in that it usually portrays an unrealistic or superficial version of sisterhood, but it takes away valuable time during the recruitment process that could be better spent allowing meaningful conversations to happen. As a result, women join a contrived portrayal of a sisterhood instead of a group of women looking to improve their lives and the lives of those around them.
The Superficiality
" 'Are you friends with everybody in your chapter?' That's the question they (PNM's) ask to define sisterhood and to be perfectly honest, it's a blatant lie when recruiting sisters go 'Yes, I'm best friends with everybody in my chapter.' And we all know it's a lie. I personally think that the sisterhood aspect that we sell to our PNM's isn't the most genuine that we can tell them about. When you're in a chapter of 150 women, there's going to be at least one person that you're like 'wow, you are so irritating' You love them, because they are your sister, but you're like 'wow, you're irritating'."
"So we teach our members during recruitment that if they get a question about a sister and they don't know the answer, to just make something up. We want the PNM's to think that we are all best friends and know everything about one another."
"Everything we do in recruitment is fake – it is about seeming rather than being."
All of the issues with sorority recruitment and sisterhood come down to this one concept. The current structure of recruitment on most campuses in one in which a sisterhood of superficiality is front and center. Chapters seeking to establish their social bona fides find themselves in a "race to the bottom" in which they say and do whatever necessary in order to convince potential members that they offer a sisterhood in which everyone has fun all the time and is best friends with one another.
The message that potential members receive throughout recruitment is the wrong message. It is a message that promotes the superficial, social nature of sisterhood, often at the expense of more altruistic notions of sisterhood. Instead of prospective members joining a sisterhood in which women support one another in their endeavors, where they feel a high sense of belonging, and feel held accountable to a set of shared expectations, they join a sisterhood of glitter, bubbles, overly-produced skits, and false expectations.
We need to take a long, hard look at the sorority recruitment process. It is time to move beyond "no frills" and "values-based" and into a world of "promoting a realistic version of sisterhood." Just getting rid of frills is not enough. We need to develop practices that allow for all levels of sisterhood to be sold to new members – from the social experience to accountability and common purpose. We need to get rid of the superficiality – no more glitter, no more bubbles, no more skits. Glitter, bubbles and skits recruit members who care about the social elements of sisterhood. Replace the glitter and bubbles with meaningful conversations – not about watered-down, abstract values, but about how sorority membership makes you a better person and adds value to your college experience. If we replace glitter with substance, we'll be recruiting the right women for the right reasons, and sisterhood will grow and thrive as a result.
But don't take my word for it.

Sd.Kfz. 10, Sonderkraftfahrzeug 10 — германский средний полугусеничный тягач периода Второй мировой войны.

Как и все полугусеничные тягачи, выпускавшиеся в годы войны в Германии, тягач Sd.Kfz. 10 имел передний управляемый не ведущий автомобильный мост и гусеничный движитель.

История создания
В 1932 году Demag AG из Веттера (Рур) , ожидая спрос на легкие артиллерийские тягачи, начал работу над таким вездеходом. Согласно предположениям, тягач должен был использоваться для перевозки солдат и буксировки 37-мм и 50-мм зенитных орудий, 20-мм зенитных орудий, пехотного отделения калибра 75 и 150 мм. Прототип, обозначенный как D II 1, разработанный в соответствии с этими предположениями, был готов в начале 1934 года. Он был оснащен, как и следующий прототип, рядным двигателем , карбюратором BMW 315 мощностью 28 л.с. Третий прототип был также оснащен карбюраторным двигателем BMW 319 мощностью 42 л.с., который был слишком маломощным. Поэтому был создан четвертый прототип с маркировкой D II 4, который был оснащен двигателем Maybach HL 38 TRKM. Он стал образцом для появления Versuch-Serie Demag D 6, изготовленной в 1937 году в количестве 8 единиц. В начале 1938 года было заказано 60 шасси 0-Serie, выпущенных в апреле — ноябре. Тогда же, с ноября 1938 года в серийное производство был запущен улучшенный вариант Demag D 7. 13 апреля 1939 года тягач получил свое стандартное обозначение leichter Zugkraftwagen 1 t (Sd. Kfz. 10). Производство тягачей прекратилось в ноябре 1944 года, однако последние 80 машин были сданы уже в феврале 1945 года.

В производстве участвовали заводы Demag AG,  Adler, Büssing-NAG, MWC, MIAG, MNH в Германии и Saurerwerke в Австрии. Указываемое в некоторых источниках производство на оккупированных французских предприятиях не подтверждается архивными документами. Вероятнее всего они поставляли только комплектующие детали.

Всего было выпущено около 14000 машин этого типа в пяти модификациях.

Производство
Demag AG (№№ 100001 — 102600). С 1938 по ноябрь 1942 года выпустил 1075 шасси для тягачей, включая 60 D 6 0-Serie и 1162 шасси D 7р для Sd. Kfz. 250, 252 и 253, при этом 363 номера в интервале 102101 — 102600 не использовались. Кроме того, с ноября 1942 и до марта 1945 года изготовили еще 2715 шасси D 7p (№№ 102601 — 105315). Так же фирма обещала в марте 1945 года сдать 26 шасси D 7р и 100 — в апреле. Поскольку бронекорпусов на них не хватало, эти машины должны были стать линейными тягачами.

Adlerwerke (№№ 200001 — 205364). С 1938 по сентябрь 1943 года выпустил 3414 шасси для тягачей, 1054 из которых были изготовлены в варианте Sd. Kfz. 10/4. Так же с 1941 года и до конца 1943 было выпущено 1950 шасси D 7p.

Bussing-NAG (№№ 300001 — 300750). С 1938 по декабрь 1942 года выпустил 750 шасси для тягачей. Дополнительно с 1941 по октябрь 1942 года там сдали 1126 шасси D 7p (№№ 310001 — 311126).

MWC (№№ 400001 — 404750). С 1939 по ноябрь 1944 года сдано 4670 шасси и еще 80 — в феврале 1945. Из них 975 машин были использованы для изготовления Sd. Kfz. 10/5. Кроме того с июля 1944 года по февраль 1945 изготовили 636 шасси D 7p (№№ 410001 —410636). Еще 150 шасси D 7p планировалось сдать в марте 1945 года в роли простых тягачей из-за отсутствия бронекорпусов.

MIAG (№№ 500001 — 500324). В 1939 — 1941 годах было собрано 324 шасси.

MNH (№№ 600001 — 600600). С 1939 по ноябрь 1942 года сделано 600 шасси.

Saurerwerke (№№ 700001 — 703075). С 1940 по декабрь 1943 года сдано 3075 шасси D 7.

Всего было выпущено 13988 стандартных шасси и 7589 D 7p.

*Январь — февраль

**Включая 60 D 6.

Sd.Kfz. 10/4, Sd.Kfz.10/5
Для изготовления установок выделялись стандартные шасси D 7.

Два прототипа ЗСУ с 20-мм пушкой были построены в 1938 году на шасси D 6. В мае 1939 года был выдан заказ на 370 машин (195 для сухопутных войск и 175 для Люфтваффе). К сентябрю заказ был выполнен. В 1940 году для Люфтваффе выпустили 47 машин в феврале, 100 в марте, 6 в августе, 67 в сентябре, 23 в октябре и 20 в ноябре. Более для Люфтваффе они не делались. Для Вермахта из 1000 заказанных машин в апреле 1940 года сдали 301, в мае - 66. Разбивки на помесячное производство в 1941 — 1942 годах не сохранилось. Последние 45 Sd.Kfz. 10/4 сдали в начале 1943 года — 25 в январе и 20 в феврале.

*Производство начато в конце 1942 года

Q: NPOI - How to distinguish datetime-formatted numeric Excel-cells (c#) Background
I have an Excel-file (xlxs) with a number of datetime and decimals that I want to convert into a two-dimensional string-array. The strings in the array should look exactly as the user has entered them into the excel. To do this I'm using NPOI version 2.2.1 with C#.
Note that column A in the example is formatted as a date in Excel!
COLUMN A     COLUMN B
2016-07-20   -46,95
2016-07-20   283,59
2016-07-20   -46,95
2016-07-20   52194,64

I have a generic method ConvertCellToString() that converts a cell into it's proper string representation:
    private string GetCellAsString(ICell cell)
    {
        switch (cell.CellType)
        {
            case CellType.Boolean:
                return cell.BooleanCellValue.ToString();
            case CellType.Error:
                return cell.ErrorCellValue.ToString();
            case CellType.Formula:
                return cell.CellFormula.ToString();
            //ALL CELLS IN THE EXEMPEL ARE NUMERIC AND GOES HERE
            case CellType.Numeric:
                return cell.NumericCellValue.ToString();
            case CellType.String:
                return cell.StringCellValue.ToString();
            case CellType.Blank:
            case CellType.Unknown:
            default:
                return "";
        }
    }

However, since even the datetime cells are numeric cells, this solution results in all the dates below being incorrectly represented as numbers rather than dates ("21672" instead of "2016-07-20" etc)
The method below needs to distinguish numeric cells with datetimes vs those with numbers. Is there any way of doing this with NPOI? I'd rather not resort to parsing the string, especially since NPIOs cell.ToString() returns the horrible "2016-jan-20" format if it's a date.
I'm pretty much stuck here so help would be greatly appreciated! There must be some obvious best practice for this that I just can't find!

A: Turns out the DateUtil.IsCellDateFormatted() can be used as such:
            case CellType.Numeric:
                {
                    return DateUtil.IsCellDateFormatted(cell)
                        ? cell.DateCellValue.ToString()
                        : cell.NumericCellValue.ToString();
                }

Since the second day of school, we have been learning to become more independent thinkers and learners, and we began with the Daily 5. The Daily 5 is essentially a way for us to become more independently literate through reading to ourselves, reading to someone else, listening to reading, writing, and working with words.
So far, we have only learned about and practiced one of the parts of Daily 5: "Read-to-Self," in which we discussed expectations of ourselves and created the independence chart below to record our thinking.
To help us gradually become more independent, we began practicing these expectations for 3 minutes straight since we all agreed that we could definitely handle it for at least 3 minutes. Before every time we practiced, we reviewed our expectations; then after the 3 minutes, we reflected on what went well and what we needed to improve. For awhile, we had some trouble with even 3 minutes, so we added more expectations to our chart to help us attain our goal of increasing our stamina. By the end of last week, we made it to 6 minutes straight. After today, we are now up to 10 minutes of successfully reading to ourselves independently, which we were incredibly happy about today.
One of the main goals in our 5th grade classroom is to become so independent that we can handle working and learning on our own without having a teacher monitor every move (because, after all, who really likes that, anyway?). Since this way of learning is rather new to the majority of our class, most of the first couple weeks of school has been spent practicing routines and procedures for becoming more independent, and we will continue to practice since that's what will help us improve and become more intelligent, independent young adults!
*Note: none of these pictures were posed. :) Instead, we took this opportunity to practice one of the most difficult expectations of all: ignoring distractions, which in this case was me (Mrs.Allen) as I quickly snapped a few pictures. Didn't they do a wonderful job ignoring me? :) Choosing great books helps, too, of course!
Thanks for sharing and congratulations on building your stamina. I am working with 4th & 5th graders who will be using the Daily 5 this year for the first time. I have some questions for Mrs. Allen- how do you handle giving grades for reading, spelling, etc. when using Daily 5? Have you been using it for a while? I will look forward to reading more about your adventures in reading, writing and working with words.
Wow your class is awesome it seems like they are all different not copy each other.
Good luck - we will be interested to hear more about how you are getting on.
Andrea, thank you for commenting! Feel free to send me an email at pvroom121@gmail.com, and I'd be happy to answer your questions. Good luck with your students!
Helen, thank you for your comment. I haven't yet taught my students how to comment on blogs, but when we do, we will definitely check out your class blog. Glad to hear your students are having success with the Daily 5, too!


The biggest question I get asked is where to buy Nootropics and Modafinil. Personally, I get all my Nootropics from Nootropics Depot and my Modafinil from this vendor.
If you're completely new to Nootropics I recommend reading my guide. It lays the groundwork for proper experimentation and fills you in on what you can expect to get out of Nootropics in general.
Before I was even making videos I was blogging about Nootropics. I am constantly releasing new content on both the blog and the You Tube channel. Check the blog periodically to see the latest updates.
MASSIVE thanks for checking out the content! If you'd like to reach out, use the contact form or send a direct email to fallon (at) gonootropics (dot) com.

Q: SharePoint 2010 - MetroTabs & SpServices . All Lists get rendered in first TAB Goodmorning guys,
I'm working on a SP2010 project for a internship.
The company has multiple SSRS reports which they would like to make accesable trough UI buttons on the front page.
These reports are devided in multiple catagories. So I used the MetroTabs solution from Kevin Guyer to devide each catagorie in it's own tab. MetroTabs essentially takes al your webparts on the page and puts them in Tabs.
http://kevinguyer.squarespace.com/blog/2013/4/3/metro-style-easy-tabs-for-sharepoint-2010-1.html
As following I made multiple SP-Lists from which I pull fields ( e.g. Title, Url ) via SPServices/Jquery/CAML.
I execute the code below in a CEWP to get the list-fields per row and display these as custom buttons in the tab.
When executed its not a problem for 1 CEWP.
However, When I make multiple CEWP's (each with it's own JS) which all pull fields from different list it shows al the links in the first Tab while all the other remaining tabs are empty.
What am I doing wrong here? Essentialy I would like SharePoint to execute the JS when related Tab is selected.
My Code does have $(document).ready(function() { for each JS file so I suspect that could be a issiue.
******EDIT*****
Tried to render the lists in different CEWP's without the TABS. It does not execute the code in multiple CEWP's but rather the most recent one.
So figured the MetroTabs isn't the problem here.

Appriciate any feedback guys and thanks in advance.
The First TAB

Second TAB

$(document).ready(function() {

    GetListX(); //

 //I name this function depending on the name of the list.
 //So each SP-list has its own function and it's own JS-file.

});

function GetListX() //Function to retrieve list

{

var method = "GetListItems";

var list = "ListNameX"; //Name of the list from which to pull fields

var fieldsToRead =     "<ViewFields>" +
                        "<FieldRef Name='Title' />" +
                        "<FieldRef Name='Url' />" +
                        "<FieldRef Name='RapportID' />" +
                    "</ViewFields>";

var query = "<Query>" +
                "<Where>" +
                    "<Neq>" +
                        "<FieldRef Name='ID'/><Value Type='Number'>0</Value>" +
                    "</Neq>" +
                "</Where>" +
                "<OrderBy>" +
                    "<FieldRef Name='Title'/>" +
                "</OrderBy>" +
            "</Query>";

$().SPServices({
    operation: method,
    async: true,
    listName: list,
    CAMLViewFields: fieldsToRead,
    CAMLQuery: query,
    completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
        $(xData.responseXML).SPFilterNode("z:row").each(function() {

            var link = ($(this).attr("ows_Url")).split(",")[0];

            var name = ($(this).attr("ows_Title"));

            var rapportID = ($(this).attr("ows_RapportID"));

            AddRowToTable( name, link, rapportID);

        });
    }
});

}

function AddRowToTable(name, link, rapportID)
{
    $("#container").append("
" + name + "
");

}

</script>

A: Have you updated the container id accordingly for each tab?

Update:
This should be library design logic, below is my test sample:

I think you have to modify the library logic, or try with other tab librarys.

Colors' popular show Udaan will see a huge development with Meera Deosthale getting replaced by Toral Rasputra.
Colors' popular show Udaan (Guroudev Bhalla and Dhaval Gada) will see the exit of Meera Deosthale who has marvellously played the role of Chakor till now. The pre-leap phase saw the exit of the male lead Vijayendra Kumeria as he did not want to play an older character. Meera too is bowing out for the same reason.
As per earlier reports in media, Meera had announced that she would be part of the post leap phase in the storyline till the time the new characters get in and get settled.
There have been reports about Meera being on the show till the month of March. And now the loyal fans of the show will see a new development with Chakor getting replaced.
As per reports in media, the prolific actress Toral Rasputra who was part of the Mere Sai cast will play the new Chakor.
Media reports suggest that Toral who was earlier part of the clutter-breaking show, Balika Vadhu will start shoot for Udaan soon.
We buzzed both Meera and Toral but could not get through to them.
We wish Meera a great future ahead and take this opportunity to welcome the new Chakor of Udaan, Toral Rasputra.

As a believer, I have encountered several Christians who can easily judge others without looking onto their own faults. I admit, I used to be like that, that I can see the sins of others in a snap but then I realized that we have no right to judge others. I have also witnessed believers who stumbled and were criticized by other Christians. Sometimes, we overlook our own vulnerabilities and flaws, nobody is perfect. This kind of false confidence isn't a good thing but for the devil, it is a big advantage for him. I know that as a believer, we should have this full confidence standing with Christ to be righteous but we must also remember that we also have internal problems and weaknesses. The best thing to cast away and overcome this is to be firm in front of him. Never fall into temptations and don't let our weaknesses control us. Most importantly, we should ask for guidance and protection from God.
In 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 (12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.), it says here that these temptations are part of his test, that He will not give it to us without knowing that we can win over it. And yes, there is always a way out of it. We shouldn't justify the sins that we committed, instead, admit it and take full responsibility of it then look toward unto Him and ask for forgiveness. We shouldn't make any excuses and blame others for the ungodly works that we did as we have no right to redefine and rationalize sins. We should be careful in our every step and we should all be humble in front of Him. His words are our armor and best protection we can have against those strategies that the devil is doing to win us.
He has an unlimited forgiveness for us but true repentance only means if we change our mind and turn our back on those flaws. There is no excuse for ignorance so if you feel that you are drifting away from Him, there are a lot of ways on how to return to His direction. Committing sins isn't the end of our Christian life. Submit to the Lord our sins, take full responsibility, give your full power to avoid doing it again and ask for forgiveness. We have given two options on how we can reach His kingdom, to turn away from Him or go directly to His path and the latter is the best choice and decision that we can have in our life.

Agricultural biotechnology holds a unique position in formulating food and trade policies due to its conflicting aspects: its potential to improve food security especially in developing countries, and the intense debates over its risks and unknown impacts on human health and the environment. Agricultural biotechnology, nevertheless, has been widely utilized to help enhance food security with its extensive applications.
The technology is knowledge-resource intensive, therefore reinforcing a gap between developed and developing countries. One of the critical determinants of availability and accessibility of the technology is a developing country's own capacity. Developing countries that wish to benefit the technology should build sufficient capacity. The current study intends to review the concepts of capacity building in agricultural biotechnology, and identify areas frequently considered in need of capacity building; coordinating partnerships, making financial commitment, setting priorities, establishing a regulatory system, and building public awareness.
While each area has its own territory, they juxtapose on one another to some extends, which can act as a virtuous or vicious cycle to facilitate or obstruct capacity building. Programs for successful capacity building in agricultural biotechnology should consider this nature.
Keywords: Agriculture, Biotechnology, Capacity building, Food security, International development, Nutrition.

Best Nursing Universities in Australia
The best nursing schools and universities in Australia do an excellent job of training future nurses. They develop competencies, provide an enjoyable learning experience, and help you get started on a career.
Quality indicators for a nursing and midwifery program are:
large numbers of students enroll in the program
high courses satisfaction rates among students and recent graduates
strong rates of graduate employment.
Top 10 university rankings
The top 10 universities for nursing and midwifery in 2017 are: University of Notre Dame Australia, Australian Catholic University, Edith Cowan University, University of Adelaide, University of Technology Sydney, Charles Darwin University, Deakin University, University of South Australia, Curtin University, James Cook University (Source: Uni Reviews).
Why Nursing is a Good Career
A nursing career offers many benefits. Nursing and midwifery in Australia is associated with high job satisfaction, secure employment, solid pay, and the flexibility to work in any city or town.
Training to be a nurse is a big commitment of time and energy. But there is an attractive payoff. Here are the top 5 reasons why studying nursing is a good career move.
Nursing is a job where you can help people directly – so you get to see the results of your good work. That can bring extra satisfaction. Nurses are vital to the delivery of health services and in supporting people during difficult times. It is a positive role that you can take pride in.
Nurses have their good days and bad days and the job can be stressful. But, overall, they feel upbeat about their profession. An Australian study found that 96% of nurses and midwives are at least moderately satisfied with their work (Skinner et al).
Most nursing graduates find full-time employment within a few months of finishing their degree. The employment rate is around 80%, which is higher than most other disciplines (source: Graduate Destinations Survey). Once you've made a start on your career, job security is excellent. Hospitals and other health service institutions are reliable employers.
Nursing is a career which accommodates changing life circumstances. Experienced nurses are needed in every city and town. So you can move to any populated part of the country and expect to find work. The profession also allows for timeouts. You can take years off for family and other reasons and pick up your career again without great difficulty.
As a people-orientated job, nursing presents constant variety. Nurses who help patients or clients directly meet new people each day. Your work can change with each case or as you move into different roles.
Like most professions, nursing has career paths which allow for growth, development and extra responsibilities. Senior nurses can move into director, specialist, consultant, education and health administration roles.
Nursing is a wonderful and rewarding career, but it can be hard, emotionally and physically. Shift work can be tough and working a seven day roster can play havoc on your social life. Your first month of full-time work will be exhausting, but seeing the impact you have on your patients makes it worthwhile.
After completing your initial registration as a nurse, you can seek employment directly with hospitals or healthcare services. Many hospitals offer graduate programs which give nurses the opportunity to experience nursing work across a range of fields and specialisations. Alternatively, you may choose to start your career with a healthcare provider in a particular sector. Nursing careers can be highly varied and diverse in the nature of work performed, the types of patients you will care for and the clinical conditions that you may be exposed to.~ HealthTimes

The best nursing universities in Australia offer a bachelor program of the right size.
In any part of Australia, there is only so much demand for trainee nurses and nursing graduates.
If a nursing program is too big, the quality of training placements can suffer. Graduates may also struggle to find a job in the local area.
With this in mind, our top rated nursing programs are at the University of Notre Dame Australia and the Adelaide Nursing School.
The nursing schools are sizeable but not large by Australian standards.
Importantly, they perform well in surveys of student satisfaction, and average graduate salaries (which account for unemployment) are high.
For detailed nursing program statistics, see Uni Reviews.
Notre Dame Bachelor of Nursing
The University of Notre Dame Australia (Fremantle and Perth) has the top rated nursing school. It scores highly for student satisfaction with courses, and performs well in getting graduates into jobs.
Program numbers are limited, which helps Notre Dame find suitable placements for all students. As per national requirements, students complete 400 hours of supervised training each year.
The Fremantle campus offers nursing diploma holders an articulated bachelor degree – a shortened 2-year program for students already eligible for enrolled nurse registration.Brochure
The Adelaide Nursing School (University of Adelaide) is relatively small but achieves excellent results. It is at or near the top in Australia for course satisfaction ratings and graduate salaries.
The Bachelor of Nursing program provides extensive practical experience in a clinical setting – more than the standard amount in Australia. Placement settings are diverse and graduates are well equipped for any kind of nursing career.Brochure

Scandlines Confirms Its Role as Provider of Essential and Green Infrastructure
By sandra23 July 2020 2020 Newsletter week 30
The hybrid ferry COPENHAGEN, which runs between Rostock and Gedser, was retrofitted in May 2020 with a 30m high rotor sail from Norsepower Oy Ltd.
"By installing the rotor sail, CO2 emissions can be reduced by an estimated 4-5% without affecting the speed and travel time," reports Heiko Kähler, Managing Director of Scandlines Deutschland GmbH.
With the green investments, Scandlines was already able to demonstrate stable and solid economic performance in the 2019 operating result and it is assumed that this will also benefit the business.
In the first months of 2020, business was still relatively stable, but the outbreak of COVID-19 within Europe and the subsequent travel restrictions led to a sharp decline in passenger traffic. "To date, we have already recorded a loss of more than 70,000 cars on the Rostock-Gedser route and we expect that the traffic figures will also be negatively affected by the Corona crisis for the rest of the year," said Heiko Kähler.
Even during the Corona crisis, Scandlines continued to operate on both the Puttgarden-Rødby and Rostock-Gedser routes in order to serve freight customers and thus ensure critical supply chains On Rostock-Gedser Scandlines transported 90% of the truck volumes compared to the previous year.
Although Scandlines is optimistic, the outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to have a significant negative impact on traffic and economic results this year.


Celebville is always up with new makeovers and trends that, most of the time shock us. Let's take a look at the dramatic Kardashians who underwent some serious makeovers to look even more glamorous. And no, we're never disappointed!
Kylie is on the top of dramatic yet glamorous celebrities these days. Everyone went berserk with her fuller lips, crazy colored locks, and defined features. She is totally unrecognizable now.
Well, another Kardashian had to be on the list. Kim is constantly under the radar for her extremely yet glamorous fashion makeovers. We can't forget the time since she went for super sculpted face.
Khloe, a couple of years ago had quite a lot of weight, which she has shed now. Apart from getting rid of extra weight, the youngest of the trio has also transformed tremendously with her ultra curvaceous figure.
These 3 Kardashians, although we left Kourtney in this list, are the perfect mix of dramatic and glamorous.

One-year outcome of patients after acute coronary syndromes (from the Canadian Acute Coronary Syndromes Registry).
The objective of this study was to determine the management and outcome of less [corrected] selected patients with an acute coronary syndrome during hospitalization and up to 1 year after discharge. The Canadian Acute Coronary Syndromes Registry was a prospective observational study of patients admitted with suspected acute coronary syndromes. Data on demographic and clinical characteristics, in-hospital treatment, and outcomes were recorded. At 1 year, vital status, medication use, recurrent cardiac events, and procedures were determined by telephone contact. Of the 5,312 patients enrolled, 4,627 had a final diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, with Q-wave myocardial infarction in 27.7%, non-Q-wave myocardial infarction in 33.2%, and unstable angina pectoris in 39.1%. During hospitalization, coronary angiography and revascularization were performed in 39.6% and 20.3% of patients, respectively. The in-hospital mortality rate was 2.4% overall. At discharge, 87.8%, 76.4%, 56.0%, and 54.8% of patients were prescribed aspirin, beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and lipid-lowering agents, respectively. Unadjusted 1-year mortality rates for hospital survivors were 6.5%, 10%, and 5.4% for those with Q-wave myocardial infarction, non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, and unstable angina pectoris groups, respectively (p <0.0001). This difference in mortality rate remained significant after adjusting for other prognosticators, whereas the use of coronary angiography and revascularization after discharge was similar across patients. At 1 year, fewer patients were maintained on aspirin and beta blockers, whereas the use of lipid-lowering therapy increased (all p <0.0001). Despite similar rates of coronary angiography and revascularization after discharge, patients with non-Q-wave myocardial infarction had worse outcomes at 1 year. Moreover, there was a significant opportunity to enhance the discharge and long-term use of evidence-based secondary prevention therapies.

Maybe you felt a moment of commune on a trip to a national park or a nature preserve. Maybe you like to keep cats or dogs or iguanas. Maybe you grew up on or now live on a farm and can't get away from animals.
Animals can't talk, and yet many of us experience our lives in the companionship of these creatures. Consider a moment experienced in the company of an animal. Write about that moment. Describe yourself, the creature, and the setting. Describe your own actions and those of the animal. Does your focus on the creature bring details to light you might otherwise overlook? How would the scene unfold differently if you gave more or less weight to the animal's presence?

Pseudo Slang is a hip-hop duo from the Buffalo, NY music scene. Emcee Sick of the Xtracts of Slang and Tone Atlas of the Pseudo Intellectuals teamed up about a decade ago to form Pseudo Slang - a side project that took on a career of its own. After their debut release, The Catalogue (a compilation of tracks PS laid down from 1999 to 2004), Pseudo Slang switched to full time.
After being quickly signed to stalwart hip-hop label Fat Beats Records, Pseudo Slang released the single "Broke and Copasetic" in 2006. National and international tours followed, and the build towards their first complete studio release as a duo is almost at its apex: We'll Keep Looking is available now via Fat Beats Records. Alex Humphrey caught up with Sick to find out more.
First things first how did you get into hip-hop?
Pseudo Slang: Peace Alex, I first got into hip-hop growing up in the Pelham Parkway neighbourhood of the Bronx, it was all around me every day. There were songs over the years which pulled you in - I Know You Got Soul, My Adidas, I Got To Have It, Nobody Beats The Biz, Return of The Funky Man, Just To Get A Rep, and many, many more which were impossible to not get inspired by. Throughout my youth I wrote in a pad all the time almost in an obsessive way, and gradually just gravitated towards songs and verses.
Where did you two meet and how did Pseudo Slang form?
Pseudo Slang: Tone Atlas and I linked up in Buffalo NY through an event I threw with DJ Tommee and DJ LoPro called Baby Steps. There's a long list of really special and very dope artists who would come through and participate in that Thursday night tradition, which branched out into a huge span of events over the course of about 13 years. We had something called the Local Emcee Showcase, and Tone had had some memorable performances there and we began to link up with some of his beats and just generally had a distinct creative chemistry.
Emcee Sick you described Buffalo as "a special place, an economically challenged rust-belt city lacking in resources that, somehow, in its blue-collar way, creates an unassuming atmosphere for expression", What was it like growing up there and how has it changed over the years?
Pseudo Slang: I didn't grow up there but after spending almost 15 years of my life in Buffalo I do feel I am a Buffalonian. Buff is a real special place, I've met so many cool people and really have grown as a person from my experiences there. Even though economically it is beat down in a pretty serious way, we always got by and made due, setting our sights squarely on the music and creative expansion. When I first arrived there stepping off the Amtrak literally knee-deep in snow, I was taken with the local feel of the city after having come from the always hectic NYC. Rent was cheap and I was really able to focus on writing and other creative stuff without all the distractions downstate. Over the years it's hard to gauge how much the city changed, but my life certainly did as Baby Steps took off and my own music grew. I'm not sure if I just perceive Buffalo as having grown a whole lot, but either way it has grown somewhat in many positive ways I feel. Buffalo NY is a real hub for community activism, check out organizations such as: PUSH (People United for Sustainable Housing), MAP (Massachusetts Avenue Project), CEJ (Coalition for Economic Justice), and PPG (Partnership for the Public Good). Only a couple years ago it was found to be the second poorest city in the country behind Detroit, but it definitely doesn't feel like that to me.
You have toured all over America, Canada (with Jeru the Damaja) and Denmark. Where was the best gig you ever did?
Pseudo Slang: Hard to say, there have been so many great ones, the performance with Jeru in Montreal at Le Foufounes Electriques definitely stands out as well as at this spot in Roskilde (Denmark) called Paramount where we rocked with this crew Dialekten – that was just a great vibe.
You were also part of the Slamdance Underground Film Vs. Underground Music Tour '09. How were you involved and what are your favourite underground films?
Pseudo Slang: I organized that tour with my man from this band called The Woes (great music, check 'em out) and the idea behind that tour was to bring our unique musical styles and performances together with underground film and visual arts. From the Slamdance stuff I was and am really into an animation piece called 'Left and Leave' by Yongehu Suh, and then through the festival I was exposed to a piece called 'Worldstar' by Natasa von Kopp which really struck a note with me.
Before you where signed to Fat Beats Records you independently released your music including The Catalogue album, a collection of your separate unreleased work from 1999 and 2004. How did you get signed and is it much easier now for you?
Pseudo Slang: Yeah, Catalogue was released by Baby Steps Hip Hop acting as the record label, and really made some noise regionally for us. It ended up being quite a successful release and was instrumental in signing with Fat Beats Records, although I wouldn't say things got easier at all. When you sign any substantial record deal your music grows legs and reaches more people, but at the same time the work increases a hundred-fold. So if you have money to hire out booking agents, accountants, lawyers and all that – you're set. We've always done this music thing hand-to-mouth, so thus I've been doing all the booking and biz myself, which is crazy! Just recently with the release of the album (finally) I have hired a booking agent, which is definitely a huge relief.
What advice would you give to MC's and producers trying to get their music out there?
Pseudo Slang: Getting original and genuine music out there is the whole point, so if your motives aren't made up of a hundred percent love and passion for that, then you shouldn't be doing this.
You also did an EP called Thank God It's Not Another Mixtape. Do you have something against mixtapes or was it just a funny title?
Pseudo Slang: Both, ha. At the time everybody had a mixtape out rapping over industry beats and all that, it was kinda too much after a while. On top of being a recording artist I was and am a promoter plus a radio guy, so I was always getting promos which included a lotta these so-called mixtapes. Eventually I just couldn't even listen to them anymore, so we thought it was a fitting title at the time… plus funny.
We'll Keep Looking your debut is an amazing album. How long did it take to record and what was the process like?
Pseudo Slang: Thanks for the kind words about We'll Keep Looking, I appreciate it fam. Initially it didn't take long to record in itself, but in the midst of recording and completing it for the label we were touring extensively. There was a lot of going back and editing stuff, as well as adding and subtracting songs, and in the end we probably have enough material for two more albums just from tracks that didn't end up on this one. The process involved just stretching out and experimenting with the different ways you can go about writing, recording, mixing and structuring songs (and set that on shuffle). The title obviously reflects that, and pretty much becomes a mission statement not only for music, but for all of life.
Your album features many artists including Vinia Mojica, Grap Luva, DJ Cutler, DJ Tommee, A.L Third. Who is your favourite collaborator apart from each other and why?
Pseudo Slang: Oh man, I can't choose a fave from all those cats, they're all great! I'll use this as an opportunity to mention Gangsta D here who was a hugely important contributing artist on WKL. He was not just the studio engineer, but a prominent part of many creative aspects, and he also played bass and guitar on some cuts as well. Every person you mention is incredibly dope to work with in their own respect, plus there's also Mysterious L, John Stebbins, and Daringer who made valuable contributions to the record. Bella, Tori and Sophia (Tone's daughters) definitely were involved in the creative process, and then there are those who have passed who inspired and informed We'll Keep Looking maybe most of all.
You have been described as making "the thinking fan's kind of hip-hop". What do you make of that quote and do you think that there isn't enough thinking going on in rap music these days?
Pseudo Slang: It's not all like we're all sitting around pondering things all like that, but I do think that this style we're comin with here reflects some humble considerations of life, art, philosophy, and what it all means in a simple day-to-day way.
Your track Omelette is all about your morning routine including your addiction to caffeine. What is the perfect breakfast for you guys?
Pseudo Slang: Ha, well Tone isn't a big coffee maniac like I am, although thanks to some friends of ours he may have turned a new leaf of recent in that regard. The way Tone and Cut are on the hoppy beer tip it wouldn't be surprising if some Flying Bison is in the perfect breakfast convo. I definitely know Cut is a big bagel and lox dude. My perfect breakfast varies - on studio or show days I keep it very simple with a eggs, toast and a LOT of water. On other days a perfect b-fast would be: dark-roast fresh-ground organic coffee, a bloody mary, oj, steak & eggs, papaya shake, an everything-bagel with fresh lox spread, and lots of water. What can I say? I love me some breakfast.
What's next for you then in 09 and beyond?
Pseudo Slang: Most immediately this Fall "We'll Keep Touring" Tour '09 followed by a Nov / Dec PS Euro-Tour, then some recording with a few VERY special collaborators, and then off on another late-winter US tour. Beyond that a visit to Japan is in the conversation, as well as a healthy dose of the unknown.
Lastly I saw a post on your MySpace looking for a couch to sleep on while you're on tour. How did that work out for you and if you could stay on anyone's couch who would it be and why?


The essays in this volume represent a wide range of approaches to one of the most popular of all American novels. Michael Bell re-examines the crucial issue of romanticism versus realism in the book. Janet McKay discusses the linguistic subtleties of the novel, showing the social implications inherent in Twain's brilliant use of the vernacular. Lee Mitchell draws on post-structuralist theories to question Huck's own assumption that words themselves can represent the social world. Steven Mailloux combines sociopolitical perspectives and the methods of contemporary 'reader-response' analysis to identify how humour is generated in Huckleberry Finn and to enrich our understanding of the novel's topical impact.

Are you racking your brain for a oneof-a-kind gift for that someone special? If you have the time, energy and money to pull it off, I've always believed that a makeover is one of the greatest gifts. Any makeover is fun and appreciated whether it's a new look, wardrobe or my favorite makeover — a brand new space!
The end of the year is a great time to give someone you love (or even yourself) a fresh new space, as we've done with reStyle Hawaii. Those of you who have been following our story know that we decided not to renew our lease for Cathy's Marketplace in Moiliili. Our warehouse showroom in Kakaako, reStyle Hawaii, was getting more traffic, and we all know how Kakaako is booming. What better time to reinvent reStyle?
I decided our space needed a makeover and elected to go with a completely fresh approach. Before, we were about consignment for all styles of furniture. That's not the case any more. reStyle Hawaii with Cathy Lee is about finding new ways to re-imagine, recreate and of course restyle your home or office with brand new, eclectic and modern, island furnishings and accessories.
So how to relaunch in the same space?
Well, I needed a new look. I've always said that the cheapest, easiest and most effective way to achieve this is with paint, and that's exactly what we did. Out went our old color scheme of pale green, teal and chocolate brown and in came our new trio: white, charcoal and apple green. All Benjamin Moore colors: Ice Cube Silver, Flint and Malachy Green.
At the same time, I wanted the space to speak to people, and I mean literally. A recurring element in many of my interior designs is the use of words to inspire and decorate. Pacific Sign and Graphics had been the company that I've turned to for my custom branded designs. I decided to play off our name, reStyle, by highlighting its message in large die cut letters across a charcoal band. It pops out with a whole slew of words that will resonate with shoppers: re-imagine, re-create, redesign, rebrand. This becomes a focal point, a source of inspiration and a bold piece of art, all in one.
Finally, I wanted our new look to reflect our surroundings in Kakaako. I loved how the warehouse space perfectly mirrored the industrial character of the neighborhood. Why not make it a cool warehouse? Knowing that this is a temporary location, as our block will eventually be redeveloped, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I wanted a hip vibe, so I kept the ceilings exposed, chose colors that were more urban and current and brought nature in with plants and natural textiles.
That's how we restyled reStyle Hawaii with Cathy Lee, which has just reopened with a fun new look, new things and a new concept. So take these tips and remember, if you can't find that perfect gift, why not give the gift of a restyled space?


San Francisco-based Del Monte Foods has formally announced the sale of its Starkist Seafoods to South Korea's Dongwon Group for 363 million US dollars.
Starkist operations include a major cannery in American Samoa.
The Del Monte chairman and CEO, Rick Wolford, says the divestiture of the business is a significant step in realigning the company portfolio toward higher margin, higher growth businesses.
He says Starkist, because of its heavy dependence on a single input cost in a low growth industry, was no longer an ideal fit for Del Monte.

Joni Mitchell wants songs off Spotify as Covid row snowballs
MUMBAI: Legendary singer Joni Mitchell has now joined Neil Young in demanding her music be removed from Spotify over Covid misinformation concerns.
"Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives," the Canadian singer said in a post on her official website, reports bbc.com.
On Monday, Young had said the streaming platform must choose either him, or the podcaster Joe Rogan.
Rogan has been accused of spreading false information about Covid.
In her message on Friday, Mitchell, whose hits include 'Big Yellow Taxi', 'Both Sides Now' and 'Coyote', among many others, said she stands in solidarity with Canadian-American singer Young, and with the "global scientific and medical communities".
Young and Mitchell have been friends for many years, and both are survivors of polio. They both contracted the disease in the early 1950s, not long before a vaccine became available.
Unlike Young, Mitchell did not specifically the name of Rogan in her post.
However, she did include a link to an open letter signed by a group of scientists and medical professionals, which criticised Spotify for hosting Rogan's podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience'.
The letter accuses Rogan of spreading a range of misleading claims, and provoking distrust in science and medicine.
It calls on Spotify to "take action against the mass-misinformation events which continue to occur on its platform".
Young, who is behind classic hits such as 'Harvest Moon', Helpless' and 'Heart of Gold', among others, accused Spotify on Monday of "spreading fake information about vaccines - potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them".
On Wednesday, Spotify agreed to remove his songs from the platform, and said it hoped he decides to return to the platform soon. It also defended its record in removing misinformation from the service.
"We have detailed content policies in place and we've removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to Covid since the start of the pandemic," it said.
'The Joe Rogan Experience' is Spotify's most popular podcast, with a reported 200 million downloads a month. The streaming platform is said to have paid $100 million for its rights.
In the past, Rogan had said he is "not an anti-vax person", and that he believes the vaccines are safe and encourages many people to get them.

SurvivorPong is my attempt at remaking Pong by adding a bit of challenge. The idea is you have to stop a deer from running into leopards which are hiding under leaves, and the score is how much time you can survive. The controls are W/S or the arrows, or both if you are a weird wizardo on a keyboard.
The other keys are SPACE which is used to move between screens and F1 switches between the Fullscreen and Windowed modes. There is also a hidden control D which enables debug drawing, and it draws all the collision masks for the characters. I used it when tweaking the collision masks, but I'm also leaving it in game so anyone can give me better feedback if any collision related issue is spotted.
There is small issue for Mac users. If you want the game to run, please run the game with the command line option -XstartOnFirstThread. Otherwise LWJGL 3 won't start and throws an exception.
Also the game needs a GPU which supports OpenGL 3.3 or higher, and Java 8 runtime. By the way, this is just my second real game, so please give me constructive criticism if I have done anything in a wrong way.
Thanks a lot! You're the first YouTuber to play my game. I'll improvise it once I complete my LD32 compo entry.
