Rabbids Land Review
The Rabbids run amok in a theme park – but is this board game any good?
21st December, 2012
Game Info // Rabbids Land
Developer: Ubisoft
Players (same console): 1 - 4
Online Multiplayer: None
Subtitles: No
Available On: Wii U
Genre: Mini-game, Trivia, Card or Board Game
Imagine you're a game developer, looking at Nintendo's new console – what do you see? If you answered 'theme park' then you're not alone, as both Nintendo, with Nintendo Land, and Ubisoft's Rabbids Land seem to have had the same idea. But although they're both collections of minigames, there's more of a difference to these than the names suggest - while Nintendo Land is simply a collection of a dozen minigames that you can play at any time, Rabbids Land instead drip-feeds you games as you and your friends BWAAAAHHHH your way around a Mario Party-style board game.
OH GOD NO - it's one of those red deduct-a-trophy squares...
The main mode in Rabbids Land is the Trophy Race, where one to four players take part in a board game. The aim of the game here is to be the first amass ten trophies by winning mini games, correctly answering quiz questions, or benefiting from one of the lucky item squares, before heading back to the centre space to be crowned the winner. In order to jazz things up a bit, ever square on the board has some sort of outcome – some let you roll the dice again, others give you a 'present' of an item you can use to help you get ahead, while castles kick-start one of the twenty mini-games (which we'll talk about later). One of the more unusual squares are the question mark bubbles, which ask you to answer a random question in order to win a trophy. Mostly seeming to be centred around random facts to do with bodily functions, such as the young-child-destroying "How much time a human would need to fart for to produce the same amount of energy as an atomic bomb" (they'll be lucky to answer the question for the tears in their eyes), once the chosen player has selected their answer, the other players can bet on whether they think you've answered correctly too, earning a trophy if their predictions prove true. Rounding off the all-action board are event squares, which can cause any number of things to happen, from triggering a spur of the moment mini-game; causing a Rabbid thief to start patrolling the board, stealing trophies off the people he passes; or even launching a bomb that hangs dauntingly over players' heads, counting down with each space that's moved.
While the board game itself is fairly uninspired, with just a single circular board to play on (compared to the usual Mario Party four or five), it's the mini-games that are arguably the main attraction here, with twenty to play through in total. It turns out though, that twenty isn't really an awful lot in the grand scheme of things, and you'll find you end up repeating them more than you'd like, often in the same Trophy Race too. Each mini-game pits two players against each other, one with the Wii U's trademark GamePad and another with a Wii Remote (and sometimes the Nunchuck, depending on the game) - sometimes working together, sometimes competing, with players being rewarded with three trophies for each win. We just wish there was more of a choice, especially as the ones included are by and large rather good.
A particular favourite, 'Wet The Bed' opens with a trademark Rabbids cut-scene to set things up, and has the GamePad player tracing round a series of shapes on a flower bed to make the plants bloom – to scupper their progress, the player with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck has to leg it around the screen, hammering A to rub out the outlines so the other player has nothing to follow. 'Lose Your Marbles' has been another popular game amongst the Everybody Plays team and their kin, which sees the GamePad player rolling three green balls around an Indiana Jones-inspired maze trying to nab purple gems, while the Wii Remote player moves a single, larger golden ball around, attempting to squash all of the other player's marbles before they can win.
Assuming the player with the Wii Remote/Nunchuck combo isn't *too* good at rhythm games (unlike our Editor), 'Starship Discovery' is another fun game, this time taking place atop a massive rollercoaster. With a Wii Remote in one hand and a Nunchuck in the other, the one player completes a rhythm game by shaking either the Wii Remote, Nunchuck, or both in time with a series of scrolling notes, with each one they hit causing the rollercoaster car to belch a big fireball out the back. Meanwhile, the player with the GamePad, whose Rabbid is surfing along behind the car has to dodge the incoming balls of fire by tilting the GamePad left and right – accidentally plough into them too many times, and your Rabbid is toast.
There's a few different songs to play this mini-game with too.
Of course there are a couple of dud mini-games in the mix – ones that result in a collective sigh when they appear. The one we found the worst was 'Octoblow', in which the player with the GamePad has to blow into the built-in microphone to send penguins sliding across the ice and into the side of the other player's ship – the problem here being that blowing isn't really the best of inputs, particularly if you're coming down with the winter lurgy like we were. Puffing away for several minutes is tiring at best, and the game would have been much better suited to using a button to fire penguins, or perhaps even swiping on the Touch Screen. The player with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck has things much easier, moving their ship with the analogue stick and swinging the Wii Remote downwards to plop a snowball shield down to block incoming penguins.
'One Ring To Buckle Them All' also tends to be a bit of a dodgy one, just because it's so hard. A co-operative game, the GamePad player has to scroll around a ride using the GamePad touch screen, and describe the naughty Rabbids that haven't strapped themselves in properly, so the player with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck can go round and buckle them up. Lose too many Rabbids when the ride starts swinging, and it's game over for the pair of them – something which seems to happen often, as the time limit for securing the Rabbids is so tight you rarely manage to strap everyone in.
Besides being able to jump in and play any of the unlocked mini-games in two player, there's also a cursory single-player 'Treasure Hunt' mode, where you can play through all your unlocked mini-games searching for the three coins hidden in each – collect enough coins, and you'll unlock some of the popular Rabbids videos, which see the little squidgy guys getting up to no good in the Extras section. While it's nice to have an option for lone players, it's really not worth buying Rabbids Land unless you have friends to play the main Trophy Race board game with – for starters, you need to unlock the mini-games in this main mode first, and the single-player isn't substantial enough to keep you entertained for very long.
Initially we weren't a fan of Rabbids Land for a variety of reason - the lone board, the ten trophy rule, and the fact only two players can take part in the mini games, but Rabbids Land seems to be one of those games that grows on you with time. Our first go in four player left us decidedly underwhelmed, but as we got more familiar with many of the mini-games, things quickly started to feel much, much better. If you have the friends to play with, Rabbids Land is a fun party game for the Wii U that's only real let down is it's scant twenty mini-games.

Hoist the sails and load the cannons! Captain your own ship in this Captain Black Heart costume. Prepare for a high seas adventure because this look is a real treasure!
Loved this costume, used it one night as a pirate changed the accessories and makeup and used it for Steampunk.
I had much more higher expectations for th costume, it fit really bad, I wasn't even able to wear it, I ended up wearing another outfit.
The only thing I would want different is the pants should have the stripe all the way around not just the front and the headband material could be sewn together or something for the price other then that it looked good and a lot of people liked it. Most important comfy!
Love the outfit, but pants are kind of thin. But other than that it's great!
Super satisfied with my purchase already wore it to my first Halloween party of the year and i got alot of compliments.

Hampshire Alert - Open letter from the new Chief Constable of Hampshire Constabulary, Olivia Pinkney

Latest Alert:-
Open letter from the new Chief Constable of Hampshire Constabulary, Olivia Pinkney
I have always believed effective policing is at the heart of healthy society. That is why Hampshire Constabulary can't afford to just maintain its position as a good police force. It must become a standard bearer for protecting the most vulnerable and reducing offending. And, as your new Chief Constable, I am excited about taking on this challenge.
A key part of success will remain catching those who prey on the vulnerable, but we can't just respond to victims when they have suffered. We need to be better at preventing offending in the first place. This includes safeguarding the vulnerable, not least those at risk of child sexual exploitation and domestic abuse. None of this can be done by the police acting alone.
The cases we deal with can be complex and the unfortunate truths are that that we tend to deal with people on their most difficult days and much of the sophisticated work that goes on behind the scenes to stop people becoming victims cannot be widely publicised. This means that what my officers, staff and those who volunteer their help do every day is important, but so is why and how.
If the police are seen to act arrogantly or as if they have a right to do as they wish public confidence becomes damaged and victims are not put first. To be an effective police officer, let alone chief constable, you need to earn the trust and respect of all communities. That is what decades of British policing has been built upon. So everything we do must be rooted in the highest standards of integrity and transparency. You deserve nothing less from us.
Our communities are wonderfully rich, diverse and deserving of brilliant policing. I want ideas, voices, perspectives and experience beyond the traditional spheres. I would like to use this opportunity on day one in my new role to invite all of you to join me, to work with me and to support my staff and officers.
In return we will become even better at protecting you and safeguarding the most vulnerable in society. And, as your Chief Constable, I will work tirelessly to make sure that what we do is as transparent as possible and to explain the difficult decisions when we have to make them.
Together we can keep this one of the safest places to live in the country and stop those who make people's lives a misery.
Olivia Pinkney, Chief Constable, Hampshire Constabulary

Home Putin Critic Says Trump Damaged America's Reputation Among Ordinary Russians
Putin Critic Says Trump Damaged America's Reputation Among Ordinary Russians
Alan Ryland

FacebookTwitterWhatsappPinterestRedditPrintMailFlipboard
Speaking to NBC News in an exclusive interview, former oil magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky said former President Donald Trump's tenure damaged the United States' reputation among ordinary Russians.
Trump was caught in the crosshairs of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 general election for much of his presidency. He also faced harsh criticisms for his deferential relationship with Russian
leader Vladimir Putin, propping up the U.S.-Russia relationship despite Russian aggression undermining and threatening the West.
Khodorkovsky said Trump's refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power and his choice to incite an insurrection against Congress last month "dealt a blow to the reputation of America as the moral leader in the world, particularly in the eyes of the Russian public." He suggested President Joe Biden should use targeted sanctions against those close to Putin.
"Western leaders shouldn't deal with Putin as a leader," Khodorkovsky continued. "They should understand that the man in front of them is a mafia boss, a totalitarian ruler, a godfather."
Khodorkovsky is one of Putin's strongest critics and was the victim of his political retaliation. He was arrested in 2003 and charged with fraud. Once believed to be Russia's richest man, much of Khodorkovsky's fortune vanished once Putin froze shares of Khodorkovsky's oil and gas company Yukos. The company collapsed; Khodorkovsky was later found guilty of embezzlement and money laundering in addition to the fraud charge. He was pardoned by Putin and released from prison in 2013. He lived first in Switzerland before moving to London. He has relaunched Open Russia, an organization dedicated to advancing human rights and democracy in Russia.

Ray & Kong
Founders working hand-in-hand as siblings to grow their business specializing in car seats to Malaysia and other foreign markets such as Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Mauritius, USA, UK and several other places. Both individuals have worked together since 1992 after the completion of their studies and have continued to manage the company since its establishment.
A Humble Beginning
The founders of SSCUS, Ray and Kong, started out with a small car interior repair shop in 1992 – located in a quaint shop lot with just 4 workers. With this humble beginning, Ray and Kong developed an interest in car seats. From that point onwards, the brothers have strived to grow their business in that direction.
A Slow but Sure Upgrade
In 2002, SSCUS went on to move to a light industry lot with 25 workers, and upgraded again to a larger factory in 2006 with over 60 workers where it remains today. Even with the move, SSCUS continued to overlook each and every stage of manufacturing the perfect car seat for drivers. SSCUS has a strict quality control on every production stage to ensure that our products meet every customer's needs and expectations.
Growing International
With more workers, a bigger factory lot and much more experience from when SSCUS first started over 27 years ago, SSCUS is now a manufacturer for OEM seats, sports seats, tour van seats, ambulance seats and much more.
Now equipped with a higher production capacity, SSCUS is able to bring its product sales to greater heights; SSCUS products were first sold only nationwide, but have expanded to include the export market since the move.
SSCUS currently owns staff in the R&D team, manufacturing team and admins to ensure a smooth flow of operation in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, USA, UK, Mauritius and several other countries as well.
We are Certified
We are committed to bring you seats, seating accessories and harnesses which are certified to be safe and stable. SSCUS is TUV-certified, meeting the German Equipment Product Safety Act. We hope that this certification brings our customers a better sense of security when they choose our products.
We are an Award-winning Team

We are the Preferred Brand
SSCUS took up government projects in 2008 to help produce seats for trains, ambulances and stadium seats. We also take pride on having national car OEMs and overseas branded OEM from our own product range. SSCUS is the preferred brand not just in Malaysia where we are founded – but also on an international scale as well.
With our range of shell seats, sports seats, gaming seats and more, we strive to provide for every individual's needs with good quality and product excellence.

Wow. I still like Billy Idol.
I guess swagger still matters.
I'm a late Baby Boomer, so I went to high school around the start of the 80s. After enduring about half of my life with nothing but British Invasion Rock, I happened upon a radio station that played "New Wave" music, KROQ. I also found MTV, a cable television station that defined music television. And from there, I found Billy Idol. These two events were the respite and the retreat I needed from a constant radio rotation of the Rolling Stones, The Kinks and some other British pop bands that I no longer care to remember.
I don't have any of Idol's CDs. You might remember those shiny discs they used to sell with music encoded on them. I still have my collection, but Billy Idol never made it to my collection because, like The Rolling Stones, I heard his music on the radio every single day. He was in heavy rotation every hour on MTV, and probably more so on the radio, and that just wore me out of him.
Back then, radio and MTV were a thing. There was a lot more "shared experience" of media than we have now, but it was never going to be like the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show again. And as the diversity of music grew, so did music sources and outlets. Cable TV was a huge dilution of media given the number of channels that were becoming available every year.
While I was in the mood for nostalgia last night, I watched videos of all of my favorite songs from Billy Idol. I don't listen to the radio much anymore and I'm so far removed from his music now. But I just had to watch and listen again, so here are a few choice tracks you might like:
That last track, Hot In The City was one that I had never actually heard on the radio in high school. A couple of weeks ago, I found myself bored at a party hosted by Vietnamese friends of my wife (they didn't speak much English). A friend of mine had turned me onto a new radio station in Salt Lake City, 103.1 KSQN The Wave, a radio station dedicated to The New Wave of music from the 1980s and I just happened to hear it by chance. So I retreated to the car and put that station on. And they were playing Hot In The City by Billy Idol.
I wasn't familiar with that track, but I knew the voice. So I used Google Assitant to listen to the music with my phone to see who performed that song, and sure enough, it was Billy Idol. Since then, I've been thinking about this performer, this act, that had been such a big part of my young life in music.
As I watched Idol's music videos last night I laughed out loud at how ridiculous those videos seem to me now. Yet, I was still impressed by his swagger, his sneer, his sheer enthusiasm for his brand, his music, and his chutzpah. Idol was a consummate showman and he knew what he was doing. He was doing what he loved to do.

What can former POWs, special forces instructors, and resilient civilians teach us about coping with the historic resilience challenge that is the COVID-19 pandemic? To find out, we spoke with Dennis Charney, MD, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and President of Academic Affairs for the Mount Sinai Health System. Dr. Charney is helping lead Mount Sinai's fight against the pandemic. But he's also a world-leading expert on resilience. Dr. Charney is co-author of Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life's Greatest Challenges, the culmination of almost 20 years of research. In this interview, he describes strategies for weathering the challenge of a lifetime and bouncing back stronger than before.

Dr. Dennis Charney: 00:00
Our doctors and our nurses and others are extremely well-trained, and because of that training it's important, and they do have, a sense of optimism that they are up to the task and that ultimately we will prevail. And I think they will look back upon this time and place as being their finest hour.
Host: 00:29
From the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City, this is Road to Resilience. I'm Jon Earle. Each episode we bring you insights on how to weather adversity from resilient people and experts who study resilience. We're continuing our series on coping during the coronavirus pandemic with an interview with Dr. Dennis Charney. Dr. Charney might be the perfect person to talk to right now. As Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, he's helping lead our efforts to fight COVID-19 here in New York City. But he's also an expert on resilience. Dr. Charney is co-author of "Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life's Greatest Challenges." The book is the culmination of almost 20 years of work treating and studying trauma survivors. It describes 10 coping strategies that anybody can use to bounce back from adversity—strategies such as embracing optimism, facing fears, and looking to role models. Dr. Charney's work has been the backbone of this podcast from the very beginning, and we're so glad to have him back during this historic resilience challenge. Dr. Charney, welcome back to Road to Resilience. Thank you so much for taking the time to be on the show.
I'm happy to be back.
So we're here in New York City and as we speak, we are at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. And you have a front-row seat to how we're responding both as a city and as a health system. I imagine you're coping with a lot right now, starting with stress. Can you just list off some of the things that you're coping with?
Yeah, actually we say it's like a war. We're fighting this invisible enemy, the virus. I am one of the generals, but it's more stressful to be soldiers on the front line, which is what our staff are doing. I mean the nurses and the physicians and all the other support staff. And so they're my focus. And as long as I feel I'm doing a good job for them and ultimately a good job for the patients that are coming in, I feel less stress.
How both are you coping personally, but also to your point, how are others coping around you? What sorts of things are you seeing?
I'm seeing a lot of bravery and a lot of courage on the part of our staff. And one of the researchers Ann Masten developed a term "ordinary magic," in which people that are, quote, "ordinary" do extraordinary in times of adversity. And that's what I'm seeing here at our institution every day, every hour, where our doctors and our nurses and others are just performing extraordinarily in the face of adversity. Because these are sick patients who have an infectious disease that they could be at risk of contracting themselves.
You and Dr. Southwick, Steven Southwick, wrote a book called, "Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life's Greatest Challenges." And in the book you talk about 10 resilience factors, or coping strategies. They are things like optimism and social support. Which of those do you feel are most important right now for listeners coping with the effects of the pandemic?
There are a couple of them that are very important. One is a positive sense of optimism, which is not easy in these times, but our doctors and our nurses and others are extremely well-trained, and because of that training it's important, and they do, have a sense of optimism that they're up to the task and that ultimately we will prevail. That this will end at some point, and we will get back to normal activities. And I think they will look back upon this time and place as being, as Winston Churchill said, their finest hour. That when they were challenged, they were up to the challenge, did spectacular work. So that sense of positivity and optimism is very important at this time. Secondly, I would say support is very important. You have to function as a team now. You've got to be able to rely on each other 100 percent to take care of the patients that we're responsible for. So that teamwork and that support and feeling like you're brothers and sisters working together is extremely important during these times. There's also a sense of a moral compass, a sense of purpose. And I've heard this a lot from our staff and that is—this is what they are trained to do. This is why they became a nurse or they became a physician. And a lot of them have the attitude, "If not us, who? Who's gonna do it?" And they say, "We're gonna do it." So those are elements that are important right now.
I love the Churchill quote about the finest hour, and it's related to something I've been interested in, which is how we turn crises into meaning and purpose and growth. I think that's just one silver lining right now in a lot of bleakness. And so I'm really glad you brought that up, and I'm wondering if you have any other thoughts on how we turn this pandemic into personal growth and greater purpose?
These are tough times and many, many of us are going to have other tough times in our life. Different kinds of tough times, different kinds of challenges. But a silver lining in providing leadership and great front-line care will be when we're facing other challenges down the line, we'll look back and say, "If I could overcome this. If I could win the fight against COVID-19. I could deal with any challenge going forward." So it's that kind of confidence and that kind of experience that will stand many of them in very good stead for the rest of their life. It's an experience they will never forget.
Are there any experiences from your life that you're thinking of now to draw the same inspiration? In the sense that, "I've been through that. I survived that. I overcame that. And I can overcome this." Are you thinking that way?
I'm thinking that I'm well prepared for this time and place. That I've had many professional leadership opportunities and experiences that prepare me for this right now. And I have had personal experiences that also prepare me, like when I was the victim of a violent crime. I was hit with a shotgun by a disgruntled former employee. I went through that. Survived, thrived, eventually. I look upon that experience as giving me confidence to deal with anything that we're dealing with right now.
A question I've been wondering about is where's the line right now between reasonable and unreasonable anxiety? So on an individual level, which measures are warranted, protective measures, and which kind of crossed the line into panic?
It is normal right now when you're in the midst of providing care for these very sick patients where there is some personal risk, because it's an infectious agent, to experience a fear. That's normal. It's normal to experience anxiety. And what you can do is, in a sense, utilize those emotions to perform optimally. So if you're feeling anxiety and fear, it will make you more careful in how you perform the tasks associated with taking care of the patient. However, when it becomes too severe, and it impairs your ability to perform appropriately and in an excellent manner, then you need to take a timeout and essentially let somebody else take their turn. You can get support so that when the time comes for you to then go back into the fray, you're prepared again. So you don't want the anxiety and the fear to get to the point that it impairs your performance.
And I should mention that facing your fears is one of the resilience factors in your book.
Right, that's true.
From the point of view, so I'm just imagining—
And it's normal. Like I said, it's normal. So when we interviewed individuals for our book like Navy SEALs and Army Rangers, where they're faced with very dangerous situations, and we asked them, "Did you feel fear?" They said, "Yes. We're not fearless. We utilize fear, because it's a normal emotion, to perform our task." And the same is true, I think, in terms of what we're dealing with right now. Fear and anxiety is normal. You utilize those emotions to perform your task in an outstanding manner.
So Dr. Charney, I know you are a father, you're also a grandfather. And I'm wondering what sorts of advice you're giving to your grandkids right now.
So it depends on the age of your grandchild. I have a couple of grandchildren who are seven, five, and four, who can comprehend the situation to a large degree, because they do wonder why they can't go outside beyond the local parts of their, where they live. And so my children, the parents of my grandchildren, have basically told him there's a virus, there's a sickness that we have to avoid for a period of time, but everything's gonna be fine. It's gonna pass. We're gonna be good. So I think kids at that age and, of course, older can handle the truth. But you give them at the same time a sense of optimism that they're being taken care of. This will pass, you know, don't worry. So you want to give them a reality, but also confidence.
Fantastic. Dr. Charney, thank you so much for taking a moment to speak with us. We really appreciate it.
Yeah, sure. Take care.

There is no theory of production in construction' (Koskela). This statement lies at the root of a growing thrust of research in construction project management called 'Lean Construction'. Lean construction views construction as a continuous flow of activities and materials rather than as an aggregation of sharply distinguished activities, related only by technical and resource dependencies. The process of building design should also be considered in terms of flow, as information flows from task to task and actor to actor. The assumption is that he 'workflow' of design and construction, both in general and in specific project situations, can be engineered to provide better results than are currently common.
Lean construction thinking is quite different to the conventional plan and control approach to construction management. The Technion LEAPCON (Lean Apartment Construction) game simulates execution of the finishing works in high-rise apartment buildings.

1. Winx Club – Winx Club is an action fantasy series with comedic elements, focusing on the mystical dimension of Magix, home to Bloom and her friends Stella, Tecna, Flora, Layla, Roxy, and Musa – collectively known as The Winx Club. Together, the 7 fairies go on mystical adventures and fight against the darkness, all the while discovering much stronger transformations and abilities. The series is notable for being one of the first Italian cartoons to be directly sold in the U.S (as opposed to being licensed and redubbed).
2. Yu-Gi-Oh – I doubt anyone on this site is unfamiliar with Yu-Gi-Oh at this point. But back in the late 90s to early 2000s, Yu-Gi-Oh was a sleeper hit that served as a more accessible form of Magic: The Gathering (it probably helps that it's not as expensive and can be played on a tournament level via the GBA. Magic: The Gathering tournaments are almost always TCG-only). The anime adaptations featured a boy named Yugi Mutou, who managed to solve an ancient Millenium Puzzle, which awakened a gambling alter ego that is significantly better than him at resolving conflicts. There's about a dozen spin-offs of the franchise now, most of which also became part of the CW4Kids/Toonzai block.
3. The Batman – this show had the poor fortune of having to live under the shadow of Batman: The Animated Series. Don't get me wrong, B:TAS is a hell of a lot better than The Batman, but that's not saying much as B:TAS is a hell of a lot better than many shows up to this day. The Batman, which features a non-canon and much younger version of Bruce Wayne, stands on its own merit especially as a more cartoonish and kid-oriented version of the Dark Knight. Besides, it's Batman. You don't argue about anything related to Batman.
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – CW4Kids has carried several different iteration of shows based on Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's iconic action franchise. I'm lumping them all together in one spot, but if we're going to choose one, it would have to be the original cartoon. They're not as true to the source material (Laird and Eastman's comic book was much darker and more violent than the show), but it's actually that cartoon that made the Turtles so popular in terms of cartoons and action figures.
5. Dragon Ball Z Kai – the original Dragon Ball Z run was a worldwide phenomenon. In my country, we didn't get Dragon Ball but Z still became popular when it hit. It was like Twilight for young boys. However, its massive success can't hide the fact that Z had its flaws, particularly how drawn-out everything is. It's not an exaggeration to say there are entire episodes wasted on Goku powering up and trash talking. Dragon Ball Z Kai weeded out all the chaff, ensuring that the fillers and drawn out scenes were minimized, resulting in a much shorter but more action packed watching experience. The slightly polished visuals doesn't hurt either.
What about you? Which CW4Kids/Toonzai shows would you consider your Top 5?
I hated toonzai, Vortexx even when the turtles and winx club are now with nickelodeon. I just loved the original version of Winx Club and the animated shows back then. They should just bring them and the CW4kids logo back.

Mattis exonerates Special Forces Captain who led the ODA ambushed in Niger and goes after senior officers
by Stavros Atlamazoglou Dec 9, 2018
In an act of proper leadership, Secretary of Defence James Mattis has decided to exonerate the Special Forces Captain who led the botched Niger operation that resulted in the deaths of four Americans last year, and to instead hold accountable the senior leadership. Reports indicate that Colonel Brad Moses and Lieutenant Colonel David Painter, respectively commanders of the 3rd Special Forces Group and of the 2nd Battalion at the time of the ambush, are facing punishment.
The initial after-action report (AAR) of the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) portrayed Army Captain Michael Perozeni, ODA 3212's team leader, who was wounded during the ambush, as one of those responsible for the botched operation in the Tongo Tongo, Niger. More specifically, the report criticised the ODA's leadership for providing insufficient training to their Nigerien partner force and for not conducting enough battle drills. Moreover, they also accused them of providing a false mission plan: instead of stating that they would be conducting a Direct Action (DA) mission against a local terrorist leader, they stated that they would be meeting with local elders.
Consequently, he and his team sergeant were issued with letters of reprimand — the Army handed out six letters in total. Reprimanded alongside CPT Perozeni and his Team Sergeant were the commanding officer, a Chief Warrant Officer, and the Sergeant Major of A Company, Second Battalion 3rd, Special Forces Group, to which ODA 3212 belonged. Crucially, however, the senior officers who approved and oversaw the mission weren't disciplined in any way. The only senior officer to be reprimanded was Major General Marcus Hicks, USAF, who was the chief of the U.S. Africa Special Operations Command (SOCAFRICA), who, however, was retiring anyway.
In the military, a letter of reprimand is a career-ender, even if it isn't followed by additional disciplinary measures — it has to be permanent, however. Officers and enlisted men with such a stain on the record are passed over for promotion.
The Department of Defence (DoD) hasn't finalised its investigation on the botched mission. Portions of the ongoing Pentagon investigation, that were released in May, highlighted numerous operational and strategic issues before and after the mission. The team, for example, was under-equipped and poorly supported.
The ambush resulted in the death of four Americans. Three of them were Green Berets and another an attachment to the ODA. Despite their numerical inferiority, the ODA managed to kill 21 Islamic State fighters. Three men from the A-Team have been recommended for the Distinguished Service Cross and five for the Silver Star, respectively the second and third highest military awards for bravery.
Special Forces Operational Detachment Alphas (ODAs) are comprised of 12 operators. They can act independently, behind enemy lines, with little to no supervision. Among others, they specialise in Foreign Internal Defence (FID) — essentially, working through, with, and by a local partner force, such as the Nigeriens. The A-team that was ambushed in Niger was advising and training a Nigerien counterterrorism unit. They had been mentoring that specific unit for less than a month before the ambush.
A West African country, Niger is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Islamic State-affiliated groups have been working against the Nigerien government. And Niger isn't the only country in the region to face such problems. Mali was almost taken by terrorists until a French military intervention repelled them. Nigeria is still having trouble with the Boko Haram terrorist group. Western troops in the area have been supporting the local governments with training, intelligence, and DA missions. It is important to note that borders in these nations don't have the normal definition: people come and go as they please without any regard to transnational boundaries.

I'm keeping our ATTO test around because it's a tool that can easily be run by anyone and it provides a quick look into performance scaling across multiple transfer sizes. I'm providing the results in a slightly different format because the line graphs didn't work well with multiple drives and creating the graphs was rather painful since the results had to be manually inserted cell be cell as ATTO doesn't provide a 'save as CSV' functionality.
I'm also keeping AS-SSD around as it's freeware like ATTO and can be used by our readers to confirm that their drives operate properly. AS-SSD uses incompressible data for all of its transfers, so it's also a valuable tool when testing SandForce based drives that perform worse with incompressible data.
The move from Windows 7 to 8.1 introduced some problems with the methodology we have previously used to test TRIM functionality, so I had to come up with a new way to test. I tested a couple of different methods, but ultimately I decided to go with the easiest one that can actually be used by anyone. The software is simply called trimcheck and it was made by a developer that goes by the name CyberShadow in GitHub.
Trimcheck tests TRIM by creating a small, unique file and then deleting it. Next the program will check whether the data is still accessible by reading the raw LBA locations. If the data that is returned by the drive is all zeros, it has received the TRIM command and TRIM is functional.
And as expected TRIM appears to be working.
I suspect this drive is not for the current z97 chip set, but will realize its potential with the Z170 chipset (Sunrise Point) due for release in the second half of this year with Skylake. The Z170 chipset has 20 PCIe 3.0 lanes and DMI 3.0 (8 GB/s) bus interface.

Die Synagoge in Mád im Nordosten Ungarns wurde 1795 gebaut und ist damit eine der ältesten Synagogen des Landes.

Geschichte
In den Jahren 1811 sowie um die Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert fanden Renovierungen statt. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde der Großteil der jüdischen Bevölkerung ermordet; lediglich 40 Überlebende kehrten nach dem Krieg zurück. Auch diese wanderten in den Folgejahren aus.

Die Synagoge wurde geschlossen, ausgeplündert und verfiel. Teile des Giebels stürzten ein und das Dach wurde geschädigt, dadurch auch die Gemälde an den Wänden und der Decke. Das Gebäude war eine Ruine.

Erste Erhaltungsmaßnahmen wurden 1978 durchgeführt, wobei einige Wände und das Dach wiederhergestellt wurden; jedoch befand sich die Synagoge weiterhin in einem prekären Zustand.

Ab 2000 wurde dann eine vollständige Renovierung durchgeführt, die 2004 abgeschlossen war. Im Jahr 2005 wurde die restaurierte Synagoge mit dem Europa-Nostra-Preis ausgezeichnet. Sie dient heute kulturellen Zwecken.

Architektur

Äußeres
Das langgestreckte Gebäude ist im Stil des Barock errichtet. Die Stirnseite mit dem geschwungenen Giebel ist nach Osten gerichtet; an den Ecken und auf der Giebelspitze befinden sich Vasen als Verzierungen. Diese Seite hat zwei Fenster und dazwischen ein Blindfenster, hinter dem sich der Toraschrein befindet. Der Giebel hat noch einen Okulus und die Wände sind durch Pilaster gegliedert. Ebenfalls durch zwei Pilasterpaare sind die Längsseiten unterteilt; dabei befinden sich dazwischen die Fenster. Im hinteren Drittel der Südseite ist der Eingang zum Vestibül und von dort in den Hauptsaal, dem Gebetsraum der Männer, hinein.

An der nordwestlichen Ecke befindet sich ein Anbau mit der Treppe zur Frauenempore über dem Vestibül.

Inneres

In der Mitte der Halle steht die Bima, an deren Ecken vier Säulen das Gewölbe stützen. Dadurch wird die Decke in neun Felder unterteilt. Dieser Stil der sogenannten Neun-Felder-Synagoge tauchte erstmals im ersten Drittel des 17. Jahrhunderts in der Großen Maharscha-Synagoge in Ostroh und der Großen Vorstadt-Synagoge in Lemberg auf. In Mád stehen die Säulen ziemlich eng zusammen, sodass nur das mittlere Feld über der Bima quadratisch ist, während die anderen, größeren eine rechteckige Form haben.

Der Toraschrein ist von zwei Säulenpaaren flankiert und darüber reich verziert. Ebenso sind die Wände und Deckengewölbe bemalt.

Bei der Renovierung wurde teilweise freizügig vorgegangen; so waren die grünen Ornamente um den Toraschrein nicht vorhanden. Auch wurden feste Bankreihen und Stühle installiert, während frühere Synagogen freistehende Stühle und Pulte hatten.

Sounds a bit silly, doesn't it? Though sadly enough, there is much truth beneath the silliness of this skit regarding the Christ of Christmas. Many celebrate the birthday without acknowledging Jesus Christ, the One whose birthday Christmas was meant to celebrate. The largest celebrated holiday in the country is simply that, a holiday – a far cry from a true Holy Day. Even when we see the popular Christmas slogan, "Jesus is the Reason for the Season," the eternal implications wrapped up in this phrase go too often unnoticed. I want to take a few moments now to remind us all of some of those eternal implications surrounding the Christmas miracle. And it was indeed a miracle! God in the flesh…the Creator becoming created…the mother Mary, having been made by her own Son. Incredible isn't it? But this is just the beginning.
In Luke 19:10, Jesus tells us why He came, "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." Paul also confirms this in 1 Timothy 1:15 "It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners…" So the reason Jesus Christ was born in the flesh was to seek and save lost sinners – lost sinners such as you and me. Isaiah 53:6 says that "All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way." And Romans 3:10-12 tells us "There is none righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they have become useless; there is none who does good, there is not even one." These verses further clarify the need for God to come after us – for in our stubborn sin, we will not and cannot seek after the true God Who saves. So Christ comes into the world seeking and saving, but to do this He must come dying. You see, the wages (the cost, the price) for our sin is death (Romans 6:23). We must die not only a physical death, but an eternal death because of our sin. This is the only way a holy and just God can respond to sin. Sound like bad news? Here's the good news, "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8)." That is, in our place or, as a substitute. Christ came to seek and to save and to substitute Himself for sinners. Christ was born…to die. Christ gave His life as a sacrifice to God for sin. This sacrifice was a peace offering between a holy God and sinful man. The peace that we often sing about at Christmas time isn't a warm, cozy feeling of peace. No, it's a peace between God and man, and that without Christ as our peacemaker, we remain at war with God.
So, how can we have peace with the God of the universe? How can we be saved from sin by Christ the Savior? Allow me to end with probably the most well known verse in the Bible, John 3:16. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." You see, because God loved, God gave. He gave the ultimate Gift of His Son to us, so that we might have eternal life and not eternal death.
So how do we obtain this gift of eternal life? The way we obtain any gift – we receive it. Receive the gift of Christ's sacrifice by faith, believing Christ to be God in the flesh, Who was born in the manger to soon die on the cross to be the sufficient payment for your sins. Confess your sins and seek God's forgiveness for them, and repent. Repentance is a conscience decision to turn from your sin, toward God. That's faith in Christ and repentance towards God. What a great Christmas this would be if you received the eternal Christmas gift from God Himself, salvation from sins and everlasting life! If you have already received the gift of eternal life through Christ alone, remember to include Him in your Christmas celebration this season.
great post Aaron, I very true and very needed!

Originally published by Americas Quarterly on Nov. 27th, 2014.
I grew up in Manzanillo and Monterrey, two Mexican cities that are opposites in many ways. Manzanillo is on the southwest coast of Mexico; Monterrey is in the dry northeastern desert. Manzanillo is a small town; Monterrey is one of the country's most important urban industrial centers. In Manzanillo, people are laid back and relaxed, whereas Monterrey's citizens are famous for being laborious, high-strung and dynamic.
When I was growing up, Monterrey and Manzanillo did have one thing in common, though: the general rule was that children played outside. Without even asking for permission, we would leave the house (which was always unlocked), and the world was our playground.
We did have some rules: don't talk to strangers, don't go farther than two blocks from home—but that was about it. We rode bikes and skateboards, played soccer in the street, set up a lemonade stand, and played tag and hide-and-seek. We also had videogames and TV, but they were limited to a couple of hours a day, and we really didn't complain about it (mostly because TV programming and videogames were so limited back then).
In 2013, Mexico surpassed the United States as the most obese nation in the Americas. Because I was born with asthma, I wasn't the most active kid. Yet I still grew up extra-skinny, and so did most of my friends.
What happened to Mexico's children in the last 30 years? Based on my personal experience and observations, here are a few of the multiple causes of child obesity in Mexico today.
The school system: It is no mystery that Mexico's school system is in trouble. We have substandard teachers, no accountability, and funding that is often diverted to teachers' unions—the list goes onl. If you go to a public school during recess in Mexico, you'll find a basketball court, which will add to numbers mentioned in any government report. Yet those numbers tell a half truth: the court will have baskets with no backboards and broken rims—and, most likely, the school won't have basketballs available for the kids to play with. Usually, you'll just see the boys playing kickball on a dirt patio with improvised goals (usually two rocks set apart from each other), and the girls will be on the sidelines, chatting and eating chips.
According to the Federal Program for Sports and Physical Culture 2014-2018, some of our national sports system's flaws include the lack of school and municipal sports leagues, deficient attention to school sports programs, insufficient federal funding, obsolete state legislation to promote sports, social inequality and a scarcity of female participation in sports, and the absence of physical education in the school curricula.
The food industry and NAFTA: Before 1994, if I wanted to eat a box of Lucky Charms, I had to cross the border into the United States. We did not have direct access to many of the U.S. food products that are now available in every supermarket nationwide, thanks to NAFTA.
A pre-packaged "Lunchable" is much easier to stick in a lunchbox than what I grew up with. When I went to primary school, my lunchbox was full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and my thermos bottle contained lemonade squeezed from real lemons. Today, kids are taking artificially flavored drinks and foods to school on a daily basis. According to pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Robert Lustig, the U.S. food industry is in great part responsible for turning sugar into a staple food in Americans' diets. Thanks to NAFTA, all that sugar is now easily accessible to Mexicans, and we're devouring it.
TV on demand and the technological revolution: I recently took my kids on vacation and we were staying at a hotel. My three-year-old son told me he wanted to watch a specific kids' program. We have TV on demand at home, so it was a challenge to explain to him that the only programming available was what was playing in real time: live TV (none of which was interesting to him). Videogame consoles and TV programming for children have existed for much longer than the obesity problem, so the difference has to be the availability and portability of entertainment that encourages kids to be sedentary. I had my first cell phone when I was 17 years old. "Let me get my iPad" is now commonplace talk among middle- and upper-class eight to ten year olds.
According to the 2012 National Survey on Health and Nutrition, children and young adults are straying from physical and recreational activity. Instead, they play videogames, watch television and spend time on the Internet. The survey estimated that 58.6 percent of children between the ages of 10 and 14 do zero physical or sports activities.
Insecurity and loss of childhood independence: Last, but certainly not least, is the fact that insecurity—and the perception of insecurity—has turned children into hostages of playdate agendas.
When I was 12, I would get home from school, have lunch and then say goodbye to my folks, only to see them again after 7 pm. My everyday life included walking to a bus stop eight blocks away, getting on a bus in order to go to a friend's house, then walking to a basketball court and playing for a couple of hours—and getting into trouble in multiple creative ways.
Were my parents irresponsible? Was I a neglected child? Of course not. I was free, because the era in which I grew up in allowed me to be. My parents had little to worry about.
My kids are not as fortunate as I was. Unless they live in private, gated communities, Mexican kids are no longer allowed to walk out their door unattended—because today, parents have serious reasons to fear for their kids' safety. The rise of violence and crime in hotspots in the country has made us (reasonably) more paranoid, so kids now have play dates—specific and limited times during the week when they can get together with their friends. Hopefully, they engage in some physical activity and don't just glue themselves to game consoles in the living room.
In this new Mexico, where child obesity is a reality, parents need to play a more active role in making sure their kids get out and play, eat healthy food, and detach themselves from their gadgets and TV. No one else is going to do it for them.

SafeNet Inc., the Belcamp network security company, announced yesterday that former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner J. Carter Beese Jr. has been named to its board.
The appointment comes about six weeks after SafeNet acknowledged that it had received a federal subpoena and an inquiry from the SEC involving stock option grants. Beese will serve on a special committee investigating shareholders' complaints against SafeNet's officers and directors involving allegations of backdating stock options, according to a SafeNet regulatory filing.
SafeNet announced earlier this month that it had ordered the special committee to investigate the complaints, which were filed in Harford County Circuit Court.
Beese said yesterday that he has been interested in SafeNet's technology for years, attending the company's annual meetings, investing in its stock and following its growth closely. The federal probes did not deter him from joining SafeNet's board, he said.
"I met with the board and discussed all these issues to the point where I'm comfortable integrating to join the board," he said. "Obviously I will learn more once I get on the board, but I think I did a prudent analysis of the situation to date."
SafeNet said Beese will consult with company executives on corporate governance issues as well as day-to-day operations.
"Carter's deep knowledge of the financial world and his sense of appropriate governance procedures will be an enormous asset to SafeNet moving forward," Anthony A. Caputo, SafeNet chairman and chief executive, said in a statement.
Beese will also serve on the nominating committee for SafeNet, which recommends directors for the company and members of board committees. The nominating committee also helps monitor corporate governance, the company said.
Also yesterday, SafeNet said it had hired John W. Frederick, a former fast-food company executive, as controller to manage its accounting and financial reporting.
Both Frederick's and Beese's appointments are effective immediately, a company spokeswoman said.
Beese was an SEC commissioner from 1992 to 1994, and is a former Alex. Brown executive. He currently is a senior adviser at Legacy Partners Group, a boutique investment bank with offices in New York and Washington.
Frederick was formerly vice president and corporate controller for Arby's Restaurant Group Inc., where he put into place new accounting systems and reporting controls to help the company comply with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, according to the SafeNet announcement.
Shares of SafeNet rose 8.11 percent, or $1.31, to close at $17.46 yesterday.

Starbucks' revenue, net income, and cash flows have been trending consistently, but not significantly, upward. Based on this consistency, and the quality of income, it can be reasonably assumed that future earnings will continue to trend as they have in years past.
Since Starbucks is a growing company, we can expect to see its operating activities bring in cash, and its investing and financing activities use cash in the future.
In comparison to the competitors and the industry average, Starbucks is in a healthy financial position.
Starbucks has established a strong national and international presence in the specialty eateries industry. The company's 2014-2016 financial statements indicate that they are in a healthy financial position, and they should expect to see continued sales growth and company expansion in the coming years.

The Endearingly Sloppy 2014 Golden Globes
This year's spectacularly awkward ceremony lent credence to the popular tabloid refrain that celebrities (and the people who run their events) are human—"just like us."
By Ashley Fetters
AP / NBC, Paul Drinkwater
Jennifer Lawrence didn't trip on her way up to the stage last night when she accepted a Best Supporting Actress award for American Hustle, nor did she inadvertently diss Meryl Streep. But she still managed to kick off the awards portion of the 71st Annual Golden Globes with her signature good-natured humanness.
"I'm sorry I'm shaking so much," Lawrence muttered at the end of her acceptance speech. "Don't ever do this again!"
It was a fitting way to open one of the most gloriously sloppy awards shows in a while—one that, three hours later, show host Tina Fey closed out by drolly declaring, "This was the beautiful mess we hoped it would be," while her co-host Amy Poehler added, "I made out with Bono!"
Last year, Kevin Fallon wrote that the 2013 Golden Globes—also hosted by Fey and Poehler—were potentially the greatest awards show ever. According to Fallon,
No matter who hosts the ceremony, what artists perform, which films are nominated, and how long it goes, critics and viewers are all too happy to call the Oscars, the Golden Globes, the Grammys, the Emmys, and the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards—what have you—too mean, too boring, too stodgy, too edgy, too reverent, too irreverent, and millions of other damning adjectives. So it's worth marveling at how, against odds, Sunday night's Golden Globes somehow managed to stage what might be the most perfect awards show ever.
Fallon went on to write that "They were fun, they were fast, they were credible, and they were just the right amount of weird," and praised Fey and Poehler's smart spoofing of award shows' self-importance. "Not only were they hosting a big party," he wrote, "they were the party's most fun guests."

The 2014 Golden Globes ceremony was not without its problems. Like many awards shows before it, it probably deserved a "too hegemonic" label: Jared Leto's and Michael Douglas's homophobic acceptance-speech jokes and the uncomfortable under-representation of people of color throughout most of the ceremony both worked against what could have been a much more inclusive event. But this year, as my colleague Chris Orr noted, the prizes again went to a wide array of worthy winners, and Fey and Poehler brought the same smirking enthusiasm to their hosting gig. (Perhaps the best one-liner of the evening came from Fey: "Gravity is nominated for best film: It's the story about how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.")
During last night's telecast, it seemed everybody came ready to party. Between the hosts, presenters, production crew, and honorees, an earnest team effort pushed the awards show a bit further in the "weird" direction and in the "let's-not-take-ourselves-so-seriously" direction. An NBC censor probably got fired after a bizarre acceptance speech by Dancing on the Edge's Jacqueline Bisset. Emma Thompson sauntered up to present the Best Screenplay award barefoot, with her uncomfortable Louboutin heels in one hand and a martini in the other. Diane Keaton sang a solo a cappella rendition of the famous Girl Scouts anthem "Make New Friends" in a tribute to Woody Allen. Diddy hug-ambushed Alexander Ebert, composer of the All Is Lost score, and giddily told the audience they'd just bumped into each other on vacation in St. Barths. Cate Blanchett, after proudly announcing that she had "three vodkas under her belt," scolded the wrap-up music as it began to swell under her speech. And Poehler did, indeed, make out with Bono.
For some, that might add a new item to the catalogue of potential awards-show complaints: too silly. But the event's relaxed atmosphere gave the show and its stars the gift of forgivable fallibility; for one night, the Golden Globes lent credence to the old tabloid notion that celebrities are "just like us." Presenters laughed good-naturedly as their teleprompters failed them (The Wolf of Wall Street's Margot Robbie and Jonah Hill swiftly received paper copies of their lines) and presenter Drew Barrymore handed out the wrong award ("I know, they sent me out wrong!" Barrymore laughed before gamely presenting an award she wasn't assigned to present).
The 71st Golden Globe Awards ceremony was, at best, gleefully fast and loose and, at worst, an undercooked effort with some glaring representation problems.
And last night's show also served as a reminder that, just like the rest of us, famous people can be pretty awful at public speaking when they're not prepared. Matt Damon was a notable exception, going impressively impromptu after admitting that he'd forgotten to bring his glasses onstage to present an award. But Andy Samberg looked genuinely, uncharacteristically caught-off guard accepting his acting award for Brooklyn Nine Nine. Leo DiCaprio used part of his time presenting the Best Actress, Drama award to finish up what he'd forgotten to say in his Best Actor, Drama acceptance speech. Winners Elisabeth Moss (Top of the Lake) and Spike Jonze (Her) looked—and admitted to being—truly flabbergasted at the podium.
"I'm bad at English," Jonze stammered. "And it's the only language I know."
And Jacqueline Bisset … well, Jacqueline Bisset.
The 71st edition of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was, at best, gleefully fast and loose and, at worst, an undercooked effort with some glaring representation problems. But it's refreshing to see hosts find a middle ground between blandly honoring the establishment (a la Billy Crystal's Oscar hosting gig in 2012) and bawdily sabotaging it (a la Seth McFarlane's in 2013). And it's an amusing change of pace to see the honorees and guests un-self-consciously join in the fun, too. This year's hosts and attendees seized the opportunity to laugh gently at their industry's shortcomings and oversights; offer a snicker, a shrug, and a raised glass or five (in that order) to its quirky personalities and over-the-top weirdnesses; and ultimately pull it in close—Amy Poehler-style—for a big, messy display of affection.
