You can lock the drive you want to clone during the cloning process. This prevents interim changes to the drive being made during creation. The drive will no longer be displayed in Explorer and all applications will be closed. The drive is not locked by default.
If you leave a drive unlocked during cloning, because, for instance, you want to continue working on the drive, the original status will be "cached", i.e. stored in the working memory buffer. The working memory buffer is however restricted. You can see how much is available in the Memory buffer display.
Locking a system partition is not possible. If you want to prevent temporary files from being written on a particular drive, make the entry NoSnapshotTmpFiles in the registry. More information can be found in the chapter Explanation of registry entries.
Should you exceed the available working memory, the current changes will be written directly to the target drive. This makes the image inconsistent and may render it unusable.
To avoid overloading the memory buffer, close or stop all write procedures on the source drive, for example, running a defragmentation.

Q: StaggeredGrid with items spanning the 2 columns I need to implement a StaggeredGrid view which looks like this:

The items will be dynamically added so it must be scrollable (as a whole) and recycle views.
I have seen solutions for classic staggered grid with 2 columns and items of different heights but none of them seem to be able to handle items spanning the 2 columns.
I have read posts about the new RecyclerView which seems to be more flexible but it seems i would have to implement my own LayoutManager for this which looks a bit daunting as i am relatively new to Android.
What do you think would be the best way to do this ?

A: I had a similar requirement. I resized the views to occupy the extra space. The logic I used was : Let each block be of fixed height h if any block has its height H such that H%h != 0 then increase the height of the block with the remainder of H%h so that it becomes a multiple of h
eg If you fix the height of each block to be say 10dp if a block has 5 increase it to 10. If a block has 31 increase it to 40 ie make the height a multiple of 10.
To increase the height you should add an empty view with white backgrount to the view so that it appears to be empty space and not part of your block

Q: Pass Radio Button Value to Form Submit I wonder whether someone may be able to hep me please.
I've put together this page which allows the user to view the records saved in their account.
What I'm now trying to do is add the functionality whereby the user can select a radio button, click on the 'Location Details' icon, and they are taken to the 'Details Page' pertinent to the record which they have selected the radio button against.
The problem I'm having is that no matter which radio button I select, when I click on the icon, I'm always taken to the 'Details Page' for the last record. (*NB* For the purpose of this post I've taken the 'submit' action away from the button.)
The code below creates the table and 'Location Details' icon

                  Select
                  Location
                  Address
                  Finds

                <?php
                    mysql_data_seek($result, 0);
                    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
                        /* display row for each user */

                ?>

                  <input type="radio" id="lid" name="lid" value=<?php echo $row['locationid'];?> />
                  <?php echo $row['locationname'];?>
                  <?php echo $row['returnedaddress'];?>
                  <?php echo $row['totalfinds'];?>

                <?php
                        }
                    } else {
                        echo "

No locations have been added yet. Click here to add one.

";

}

?>
              <form action='locationsaction.php'>
              <input type='submit' class='detailsButton' name='type' value='Details' alt='Location Details' title='Location Details' style='margin-right:10px' />
              </form>

Because I intend to have several submit buttons within one form, I've created the following 'locationsaction.php' script which you will see is called in the above script.
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['lid'] = $_POST['lid'];
if (isset($_POST['type'])) {
    $urls = array(
        'Details' => 'locationdetails.php',
        'Add Finds' => 'addfinds.php',
        'Images' => 'addimages.php',
        'View Finds' => 'locationfinds.php'
    );
    $url  = $urls[$_POST['type']];
    header("Location: " . $url);
}
?>

I've been working on this for several days now and have tried several tutorials, but I just can't seem to get this to work.
I just wondered whether someone may be able to take a look at this please and offer some guidance on how I can pass the correct radio button value through the 'submit action.
Many thanks and kind regards

A: This is your current form:
<form action='locationsaction.php'>
<input type='submit' class='detailsButton' name='type' value='Details' alt='Location Details' title='Location Details' style='margin-right:10px' />
</form>

Your table is not in your form at all; when you click on the submit button, it will only send details of inputs that are between the <form> tags.
If you move the <form action tag right to the top of the page, it should work.

A: I believe your opening form tag should be above the most upper input type field.  I'm not entirely sure but that's the first thing I noticed.


At Kew Bridge and throughout Kew Bridge Road, the improved designs would provide two-way segregated cycle lanes on the south side of Kew Bridge Road and South Circular Road, rather than the partially segregated cycle tracks on both sides of the road that were proposed in the earlier consultation designs. This change will ensure that people cycling are fully segregated from traffic throughout this section and it also removes the requirement for two bus stop bypasses on the north side of Kew Bridge Road. The change also addresses concerns raised about cycle safety at Kew Bridge junction, Green Dragon Lane and Lionel Road South. The new consultation will also propose a second southbound traffic lane on Kew Bridge to improve the efficiency of the Kew Bridge junction. In addition, the changes will make crossings wider and easier to use, with cyclists signalled separately from conflicting traffic at the Kew Bridge junction.

VR Education's Trading Update Suggests New PlayStation VR for 2020 [Update]
Oculus Avatars Goes Cross-Platform
Users on HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality will soon be able to use Oculus Avatars.
By Rebecca Hills-Duty	 On Aug 23, 2018
OculusOculus Avatars
How you are represented in the virtual environment is a topic that is pretty dear to the hearts of many virtual reality (VR) users. It is especially important in a social setting, where it can form a first impression in social VR scenarios. Oculus Avatars were originally rolled out for the Oculus Rift before being ported to the Samsung Gear VR, but now their reach is extending even further.
Oculus have announced in a blog post that Oculus Avatars will be going cross-platform, allowing a user's Oculus Avatar to follow them to any platform.
With the release of SDK 1.28, support is being rolled out for cross-platform Avatars on PC, with an included Unity sample and an updated SDL license. Oculus says this will allow developers to implement a unified avatar system with multiplayer experiences while reducing both costs and development times.
The Oculus Avatar app has been prepared to work right out of the box, and the SDK has gone through updates so it can support querying the user's avatar from any platform.
This means that apps running on the HTC Vive or Windows Mixed Reality devices will also be able to use Oculus Avatars, giving users the chance to have a unified virtual identity across multiple videogames and applications that use the SDK, rather than having to create a new character each time.
According to the blog post, this initial release allows the Avatar for any Oculus user to be queries from any app that uses the SDK. The Oculus blog post also says: "We're in the early stages of building out richer avatar support for non-Oculus users, but to provide some choices for non-Oculus users we've created 12 default avatars (included in the Unity sample) that can be provided as options to anyone without an existing avatar."
According to Oculus, this is just the first step in supporting developers across multiple platforms. As always, VRFocus will be there to bring you the latest developments in this area.

Home Latest Notifications Competition watchdog condemns Anti-Competitive Acts by Druggist Associations
Competition watchdog condemns Anti-Competitive Acts by Druggist Associations
Sudeep P.M. & Ors. v. All Kerala Chemists and Druggist Association
Date of Judgment- October 31, 2017
In a recent order passed by the Competition Commission of India (Commission), the Commission came down heavily on Chemists and Druggists Associations in India which engage in anti-competitive practices like furnishing of No Objection Certificate (NOC) for appointment of stockists.
In this recent order the Commission held that the alleged activities of All Kerala Chemist and Druggist Association ('AKCDA') were in contravention of the provisions of the Competition Act, 2002 ('Act') and also imposed penalty on AKCDA for indulging in anti-competitive practices.
The Informant in the case were four stockists (wholesalers) in the State of Kerala who had alleged that AKCDA and its district level associations were insisting the requirement of NOC prior to the appointment of any stockists, in contravention of the provisions of Section 3 of the Act, despite cease and desist orders of the Commission in earlier cases involving similar issues. It was contended that the practice of NOC simply changed from written approvals to verbal threats.
Commission's Order and Observation
In view of the aforesaid complaint, the Commission directed the Director General (DG) to investigate the matter. Pursuant to investigation, the Commission inferred that AKCDA and its District units in Thrissur, Kerala were indulging in the anti-competitive practice of insisting NOC prior to the appointment of new stockists by pharmaceutical companies which was limiting and controlling the supply of drugs in the State of Kerala, in violation of the provisions of Section 3(1) read with 3(3)(b) of the Act i.e. limiting or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or provision of services.
The Commission noted that the present case once again highlights the persistent attempts of anti-competitive conduct by Chemist & Druggist Associations who, despite various orders by the Commission in similar cases and wide publicity through a press notice issued by the Commission with respect to the NOC practice, have not abstained from indulging in such anti-competitive conduct.
Accordingly, AKCDA, its District Units at Thrissur have been directed to cease and desist from indulging in the practice of insisting NOC prior to stockist appointment. Further, the Commission imposed a monetary penalty of Rs. 4,78,545/- on AKCDA.

Early-day sportsman's death [obituary of Percy Mahoney, 7 December 1950]
23 June 2022 · Leave a Comment
[Editor: This obituary of Percy Mahoney was published in The Maryborough Chronicle (Maryborough, Qld.), 7 December 1950. See also: "Vale! Percy Mahoney", a poem written in honour of Percy Mahoney.]
Early-day sportsman's death
The death of Mr. Percy Mahoney, at the age of 71 years, occurred early on Tuesday night. Only two brothers of that once well-known Yengarie family of sportsmen now remain — namely, Messrs. J. P. Mahoney, Yengarie, Chairman of Directors of the Maryborough Dairy Association Ltd., and Mr. Bernard Mahoney, Head Teacher, Wynnum Central School, Brisbane.
At one time six Mahoney boys — sons of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Mahoney, Yengarie — and four Cran boys were members of the Yengarie eleven. Every player of the team was a good all-rounder, and many thrilling games were played on the old Yengarie concrete pitch. It took an exceptionally good team from Maryborough and district, and further afield, to mark time with the "village" eleven.
Joe Mahoney and Len Cran (now manager of the Rockhampton Bulletin) were, perhaps, outstanding with bat and ball. The latter, apart from his skill with the bat, was a particularly fast bowler. Both were brilliant fieldsmen, too. It has often been said by competent authorities that Joe Mahoney, Len Cran, Charlie ("Torem") Poulter (bowler), the late Gilbert Morton (batsman) and Bob Hunter (wicket-keeper) would have made the State side — one or two of them, perhaps, even the Australian team — had they lived in Brisbane or Sydney in their prime and played on turf wickets.
The late Mr. Percy ("Muldoon") Mahoney was, also, a good all-rounder: a sound right-hand batsman, who figured in many fine partnerships with the bat. He was also a good change bowler and frequently took his turn behind the stumps. When he later took up residence in Maryborough, "Muldoon" played for the Railways, and was one of their outstanding players for many years. He frequently represented the local Railway C.C. in its then series of matches with the Brisbane Railways, at Maryborough and in the metropolis, and often represented Maryborough in inter-city matches, as well as in inter-city football. He was a good footballer in his day. He was also a representative cricketer and footballer for Gympie when he lived in that city for some years.
The late Mr. Mahoney was educated at the Christian Brothers' College, at which school he passed his Sydney Junior University examination. He entered the railway service at Maryborough in July, 1898, as a cleaner in the locomotive section, and about 1910 was appointed a driver. He retired in September, 1946, after a loyal service of over 48 years with the department.
A true sportsman who always "played the game," the late Mr. Mahoney will be greatly missed in a wide circle of friends, whose deep sympathy is extended to his bereaved widow.

Q: How to align baseline of two different UILabel without using StoryBoard I'd like to align tow UILabel which have different font size for each.
I'm trying to do it without using StoryBoard but I can't.
In the screenshot, the baseline of the two UILabel is different.

And my code is like below,
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [self initLabel1];
    [self initLabel2];

    [self addSideConstraint];
    [self addBaseLineConstraint];

Alisauskas moving up
September 7, 2017 / NationalTeamsOfIceHockey
By Henrik Manninen – IIHF.com
Following in the footsteps of his hometown hero, the KHL becomes the next step in the ascending career of Lithuanian blueliner Nerijus Alisauskas.
When Latvian KHL club Dinamo Riga got the new 2017/18 KHL season underway, it also coincided with the league's sole Lithuanian representative making his debut at the big stage.
Following a successful off-season try-out, 26-year-old Alisauskas became a surprise late addition to the Dinamo Riga roster. A move which saw him become only the second Lithuanian to grace the KHL after Darius Kasparaitis, who played 26 regular season games for SKA St. Petersburg in 2008/09.
"I am happy to get the chance to play in the KHL and for me it doesn't matter whether I am first or second. Kasparaitis was also my hero when growing up and I always wanted to achieve the same goals as him," said Alisauskas, who got his first KHL point on board in his third game of the season with an assist in a 5-3 road win at Barys Astana, Dinamo Riga's first victory of the season.
When Alisauskas picked up the game at the age of eight back home in the Central Lithuanian small town of Elektrenai, another one of its natives, Kasparaitis had long since left the nest and was at the peak of his powers across the Atlantic suiting up for Pittsburgh Penguins. Dainius Zubrus, the other Lithuanian with an NHL career, also hails from the town.
But while Kasparaitis and Zubrus had honed their skills during the Soviet Union times, Alisauskas was born in another era in the summer of 1991. Brought up in a once again independent Lithuania he was to have a more meandering road towards to the top.
After getting his baptism of fire at senior level in the Belarusian league with Latvian team Liepajas Metalurgs, Alisauskas found himself patrolling the blueline in Germany's third tier for EV Fussen in 2013/14. Three years of solid displays in Kazakhstan's top league ensued, before ahead of this season, Dinamo Riga's head coach Sandis Ozolins came calling to offer Alisauskas an opportunity to shine at the next level.
A fine skater and equipped with a lethal one-timer, Alisauskas possesses qualities he hopes can be fully utilized in his new surroundings as Dinamo Riga aims to avenge for last year's lacklustre overall display which saw them finish bottom of the pile in the Western Conference.
"I hope we will make the play-offs this season and on a personal level I hope I can grow as a player with as much ice time as possible," said Alisauskas on a hectic season ahead where a lot will be at stake for both club and country.
In average he got 18:30 of ice time during seven KHL games. Only Canadian Karl Stollery and Latvian Guntis Galvins were on the ice more often among Dinamo Riga defencemen.
With Lithuania hosting the 2018 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Division I Group B in Kaunas at the end of April next year, big things are in the pipeline for the southern-most Baltic country. Following four consecutive bronze medals at Division IB level under the guidance of head coach Bernd Haake, home advantage is hoped to give the team an extra edge as they aim to propel upwards.
"People are getting more interested in hockey so I am happy about it. As for our team, I believe Lithuania is already ready for the Division IA and this season will be the perfect time to get there," said Alisauskas.
Alisauskas, who made his senior debut as an 18-year-old at the 2010 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Division I level, was among many key omissions from last season's bronze-winning team at the Division IB in Belfast. While the Lithuanian federation hopes to entice big hitters such as Alisauskas, NHL veteran Dainius Zubrus, netminder Mantas Armalis and the Kumeliauskas brothers, Donatas and Tadas, to commit themselves for a gold medal push in Kaunas, perhaps the biggest name of them all is ready to once again step out in the limelight at the age of 45.
Kasparaitis aims at making his national team debut for Lithuania during the Baltic Challenge Cup played on home ice in Klaipeda this November while also offering a chance for Alisauskas to finally line up next to his role model.
"I've only practised together with him in the past, so now I can't wait to play together with him," said Alisauskas.

Mike Vellucci Named Head Coach of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
In a stunning announcement Friday evening, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins named Mike Vellucci the 11th Head Coach in franchise history. He replaces Clark Donatelli, who re-signed abruptly for personal reasons.
Brent Baldwin
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — In a stunning announcement Friday evening, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins named Mike Vellucci, the 11th Head Coach in franchise history. He replaces Clark Donatelli, who abruptly resigned for personal reasons.
Vellucci, 52, joins the Penguins after a banner year with the Charlotte Checkers. He guided the Checkers to a record of 57-17-7-1 record en route to capturing not only the Calder Cup but also the A.R. Pieri Award as the AHL's Coach of the Year.
The Farmington, Michigan Native spent five years in the Carolina Hurricanes organization, serving as Assistant General Manager and Director of Hockey Operations since 2014. He took over as bench boss in Charlotte prior to the 2017-18 season. In two total seasons, he compiled a record of 97-43-8-4 in a total of 152 games.
No stranger to coaching, Vellucci has 20 years of experience, predominantly in the Ontario Hockey League. Serving as the Head Coach and General Manager of the Plymouth Whalers, he guided future NHL All-Stars like James Neal, Tyler Seguin, and Vincent Trocheck.
As a player, Vellucci was drafted 131st overall in the seventh round by the Hartford Whalers in 1984. He appeared in two games for Hartford in 1987.
Thoughts: This comes as a major surprise, but on paper, the Penguins have hit a home run. Former players rave about Vellucci's ability to develop them, which is precisely what you want in a coach at this level. It's easy to say given the fact he's coming off a Calder Cup season, but before Friday night, there were three open coaching positions in the league. On paper, they got the best available.
Stay tuned to this story for information as updates become available.

Editor of The Photograph Collector
Christie's sale of Important Daguerreotypes by Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey on October 7 realized $2,873,375 with a 22% buy-in rate. Four phone bidders, 1779, 1794, 1810, and 1841 took most of the top lots, with a French bidder in the room, 626, taking numerous lower-priced, but good quality lots. The number of buy-ins was higher than at the previous Girault de Prangey sales--a result of a combination of the deterioration in the quality of the material on offer and the more erratic estimates in this sale. Even much of the material in this sale that sold probably shouldn't have, and I wonder how many of the active bidders on the phone really viewed many of these poorer quality lots.
Lots 2 and 3 both went to 1779, which was an English-speaking bidder on the phone with Christie's Stuart Alexander: Girault de Prangey's self-portrait, probably 1841, went for $194,500, more than three times the high estimate; and the beautiful Atget-like "261. Paris. 1841. Etude de plantes" for $242,500, almost double the high estimate and over the bid of New York dealer Hans P. Kraus, Jr. These were the top two lots in the sale. Bidder 1779 was highly active on many other lots in this sale. It makes me wonder if Qatar wasn't back bidding, filling in some gaps.
A different phone bidder (1759) outlasted Boston dealer Robert Klein for lot 4, "15 Rome 1842 T[emple] de la Concorde Ent[rée] Intér[ieure]", at $128,500. This might have gone higher in previous Girault de Prangey sales. And yet another phone bidder (1719) captured lot 7, "28 Rome 1842 Prise de la Colonne Trajane", at $56,250.
Phone bidder 1779 closed the window on lot 8, "82 Fenêtre, clocher, Cornéto, [1842]", at $80,500. Bidder 626 took his most expensive lot (#9), "27 Rome 1842 Jardins, Villa Médici" for $68,500. Collector Bruce Lundberg won lot 11, 35 Environs de Rome vue prise du R[io] del dio Redicolo [1842], for $43,750. Robert Klein was lucky on lot 13 and paid the same price for 61 Athènes Anc[ienne] Cathédrale Côté S[ud] [1842].
Phone bidder 1794 went to $56,250 for lot 22, "132 Constantinople, rue sous le petit champ des morts [probably 1843]". A bidder in the room, 611, took lots 24 and 25, "75 Aphrodisias Entablement et Chap[iteau] [1843]" at $52,500; and "Euromus Temple antique [probably 1843]" at $80,500.
1794 scooped up lot 27, "150 Constantinople 1843 Fontaine pris du T[emple] du Galat" for $80,500. Then 1779 was back for lots 29 and 30, the latter, "230. Zouk. Syrie. 1844. Tombeau" at $134,500 (the third highest price of the sale); and lot 32, "249 Liban 1844 Les Cèdres. Suite" for $50,000.
A new phone, 1810, bought lot 41, "130 Kaire G S Gânem Dét[ail] [1842-1844]" at $98,500. After picking up lots 43, 45 and 46, phone bidder 1779 bid $62,500 for lot 47, "145 Rosette. 1842. Fabriques et Palmiers". And a new phone bidder (1746) took lot 48, "204 Denderah 1844" at $98,500.
1794 paid $60,000 for lot 57, "219 Jérusalem 1844 G[ran]d tombeau Vue de Josaphat", and $122,500 for lot 60, "[Jérusalem--Tombeaux de Zachariah et Bnei Hezir, Vallée Kidron, 1844]", which became a battle of phones in the end.
Then 1810 went on a tear, picking up five of the next six lots, but then ran into 1841 on lot 67. Phone bidder 1841 had waited until the end of the sale, but then was the winning bidder on five straight lots: lot 67, "[Jerusalem, Al Wad, rue dans la vieille ville, 1844]" at $98,500 over 1810's underbid; lot 68, "196 Jérusalem Porta aurea [1844]" at $116,500 and also over bidder 1810; lot 69, "[Jérusalem, fortifications Porta Aurea, 1844]" at $60,000; lot 70, "[Jérusalem, Porta Aurea, 1844]" at $104,500; and, lot 71, "220 Jérusalem 1844 G[ran]de Mosquée prise de la Porte S[ud] M..." at $56,250.
And 1810 took the last two lots of the sale, lot 73 for $25,000 and lot 74, "210 Jérusalem Dét[ail] Porte Egl[ise] du S[aint] Sép[ulcre] [1844]" for $80,500, over the bid of dealer Robert Klein.
Despite the buy-ins (usually on problematic plates), this was a strong sale with all the top lots but one (those hammering for $80,000 and up) selling above their high estimates, and that one sold within the estimates. There was strong and competitive bidding, despite the sale being dominated by six bidders. Bidder 611 captured three lots for $143,000 total; bidder 626, Joseph Delarue, a Paris dealer on a cell phone reportedly to fellow Paris dealer Serge Plantureux, bought nine lots for $171,125; 1794 took five lots for $325,500; 1810 10 lots for $365,250; 1841 five lots for $437,750; and 1779 11 lots for $890,125. That is 43 of the 58 lots sold and $2,332,750--or 81.2% by dollar.

Mutazione Review – Life on a Mutant Island
September 19, 2019 February 10, 2021 Victor Aparicio
Title: Mutazione
Developer: Die Gute Fabrik
Reviewed On: PC
Publisher: Akupara Games
When I was younger, I was invited to meet my father for the first time in my life. The experience had me interacting with a lot of people that remembered me fondly regardless of them feeling like strangers. I had to navigate between my misguided notions of social cues and my sense of belonging. Because of that, it was exciting to sense those same beats while playing the point and click adventure Mutazione. While my time in an unfamiliar place didn't involve a meteor-struck island, singing gardens and friendly mutants, developer Die Gute Fabrik did a fantastic job invoking the feeling of being young and out of place.
The story of Mutazione centers around a girl named Kia. She received a letter from a family friend that reveals her grandfather is ill and wanted to see her. The request brings her to Mutazione, an island that has become the home to a tightly knit community of mutants. There, Kia visits her ailing grandfather, Nonno. The grandfather teaches Kia about the island and his abilities to tend beautiful and magical gardens for various purposes. Along the way, Kia meets the residents of Mutazione and their walks of life.
While Kia ventures the entire setting of Mutazione, she has the opportunity to fulfill tasks and interact with the village folk as they go about their day. As each day is sectioned into chapters and chapters into the time of day, villagers move around the island and will always have something to say. Whether it is small talk or a favor, each character has their own quirks and dreams that they are happy to share. When drama strikes, though, that is when Kia can navigate between dialogue options and fellow villagers to truly reveal what each character is like deep down inside — on a more interpersonal level.
A good example of these emotional dialogue options is when early in the game, I met a local worker from Mutazione named Tung. For one reason or another, we started off on the wrong foot, so I opted to offer him a clean slate and restart out friendship. After having a back and forth conversation about having a rough childhood, I won some good faith with Tung, and he opened up about his father. Throughout the rest of my playthrough, Tung and the other villagers familiar to his life story began to give me more context to how and why he was raised in Mutazione. Those contexts helped understanding Tung's motivations for his aspirations in fixing his boat.
All these interactions take place during or around the "main objective" Kia has during the time of day. Completing these main objectives advances the day from say, midday to afternoon. Additionally, characters that have a request could mention that they want you to return later in the day or the following day, giving the player a reason to return to their favorite characters.
I like the types of conversations that Kia, as the main character gets into with the other islanders. Much of the dialogue isn't meant to be overwhelming or consequential. They are more in tune to what is heard in coming-of-age indie movies. As others express themselves in seemingly effortless ways, Kia sits back and approaches the words introspectively, carving through her timid demeanor with humor, inquisition or straight forward matter-of-fact. It puts a clear distinction between each character and the type of people they are. The dialogue options also give the feeling of taking a different approach to the conversation that the player is having with the islanders. This is different from the strong reactionary actions that are expected from other games like those from the Telltale or Dontnod, making this game purely about getting to know people.
Another way for Kia to get to know her growing family is the chance to heal the emotional wounds that may come up through her ability to grow gardens with special properties, thanks to her grandfather. When tending a garden, Kia can plant different seeds in their proper soils and biomes. Then when all the conditions are met, Kia can use her drum to play melodies that hasten the plant's maturity and can be harvested for herbs, fruits, and flowers to help others in need.
While the garden starts off confusing in its execution and relevance to the gameplay, I ended up enjoying putting together a garden that would grow healthy and unusual plants. Early on, the plants didn't serve an immediate point other than to learn the basics. After a while, certain chapters called for a specific plant or herb to help the other villagers, meaning that what I grew did not matter as long as I grew one particular item. It is not until later that the game asks the player for more diverse and challenging plants and herbs. Regardless, I was having more fun creating a garden within the structures of the soil each garden had — much like the fun players can have matching blocks to the same shaped holes.
Speaking of building blocks, the visuals of Mutazione resembles that of construction paper cut into rudimentary shapes of rocks, trees, and buildings. Yet regardless of the textured solid colors, the island still has enough attention to detail to make out a living world. Background environments have animals, bugs, and foliage bouncing around as Kai walks past them. Coming across other villagers as they chat and walk around the island brings delight knowing that the town is alive with busy people. Even when you feel that the game makes you travel through the same areas over and over again, someone from the island asks you to travel through a new area, and Mutazione feels alive and abundant still. I didn't even mind it when walking around in areas with no clear paths because walking back and forth at least looked pretty.
Still, I feel that Mutazione has an even bigger strength when it comes to its use of ambient sound. Opening scenes had the sounds of wind breeze and ocean waves crashing as the boat makes its way to the island. Upon moving through the village, there were bushes rustling, bugs chirping, tree branching snapping, and building squeaking. But even more impressive are the sounds not made by nature but in other settings. For instance, in the only bar on the island of Mutazione, a weekly town get together happened that had radiating chatter and music, which could be heard from a few scene transitions. These details are what made Mutazione one of those games best played with headphones.
Any issues that Mutazione had can be overlooked when players enter past the title screen know that this game is mostly about getting to know other people. After that, no amount of unclear pathways or confusing gardening system can make players put the controller down. I feel that Die Gute Fabrik has really honed in on a point and click game that you can just relax with, and reflect on similar issues that any person could relate to. To sum it all up, Mutazione is a must-play for narrative-driven adventure fans.

The new state-of-the-art facility features three children's classrooms, an undergraduate classroom, and research and office space.
Rollins' new Hume House Child Development & Student Research Center (CDC) will welcome its first students today. Located on the corner of Holt and New York avenues in Winter Park, Hume House is a laboratory of the Department of Psychology. The new state-of-the-art facility will create opportunities for research and learning with undergraduate students, children of all abilities, and faculty of the College.
The College will host a building dedication for Hume House on Monday, March 6, at 11 a.m.
The new 5,050-square-foot building replaces the former Child Development and Student Research Center, which was used for the program since 1987. The new and expanded location includes three children's classrooms, a playground, and an undergraduate classroom, as well as research and office space. The $1.6 million center was paid for through private donations. The architect for the project was BCA Architecture of Maitland.
"We are pleased that our students and the children and families served by this program have an updated, spacious facility that will benefit the children who attend our center today and our future professionals of tomorrow," said Rollins President Grant Cornwell.
Hume House is the only laboratory preschool at a private, four-year liberal arts school in Florida. Within the International Association of Laboratory Schools (IALS), there are approximately 50 laboratory preschools at liberal arts colleges. Hume House serves children between the ages of 2 and 5 and is inclusive of children with disabilities. Priority enrollment is given to the children of staff, faculty, students, and alumni of Rollins.
"The Child Development Center is a full research facility offering hands-on learning to teach students to understand the reasons behind their own and others' behavior, become competent and critical decision makers, respect human diversity, and improve the care of children in our community," said Sharon Carnahan, Hume House executive director and psychology professor. The CDC welcomes research and practice partners.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Russian: Владимир Владимирович Путин) (born October 7, 1952) was reelected president of the Russian Federation in 2012, after serving as prime minister since May 8, 2008, and previously serving as president since December 31, 1999, the day Boris Yeltsin resigned from the presidency.
A Christian, Putin leads the increasingly conservative Russia against the homosexual agenda and towards pro-life side. Much of the criticism of Russia by liberals in the United States is motivated by their opposition to Russian policies on social issues. Obama even refused to attend the Winter Olympic games held in Russia in 2014.
Forbes ranked Putin as the most powerful man in the world as of December 2016, while Obama was ranked #48. Putin gains popularity every time he challenges the U.S. or Europe, or sends troops into Georgia. Putin's Russia is an authoritarian system, with restricted capitalism, a rubber stamp parliament, compliant media, imprisoned or exiled oligarchs, harassed NGOs, marginalized pro-Western democratic parties, and a foreign policy based on bullying and military strength, all based on money from oil and gas.
In March 2018, Putin unveiled his re-vamped nuclear missile program, and used the opportunity to threaten the United States of America and the Western World.
Putin was born in Leningrad on October 7, 1952 and was baptized as an Orthodox Christian and continue to be a member to this day. Putin was a judo champion in his youth. He was educated in law and economics at Leningrad State University before being assigned to work in the KGB. After five years in East Germany, he took up various political positions before becoming prime minister in 1999.
He was married to Lyudmila Putina, a former stewardess with Aeroflot, from July 28, 1983, until 2014, when the two divorced. They have two daughters.
A Christian himself, Putin governs a nation that is rapidly becoming more Christian and more conservative, and his snubbing of liberal Obama in May 2012 suggests that Putin is well aware of how conservative his country is becoming. On social issues and taxation, Russia under Putin is more conservative today than the Western Europe.
In terms of achievements, Putin has successfully opposed the homosexual agenda and has supported pro-life reforms. He has also stabilized the Russian economy and restored Russia's national pride, largely by politically exploiting the financial windfall of Europe's need for Russian oil and gas. Russians were enthusiastic that he ended the social chaos that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the subsequent pell-mell privatization of the state-owned economy. Many Russians have been mesmerized by the new glitter of Moscow and the restored glamour of St. Petersburg. Russia's revived self-pride follows the humiliation of the chaos after 1991 and the incompetence of his predecessor Boris Yeltsin. Russians have a long history of authoritarian governments and a strong diastase for anarchy. They have little experience with freedom. The Russian mafia, which is more sophisticated than its counterparts elsewhere, controls more than 40 percent of the total economy. Their control is thought to be even greater in certain areas, such as banking, real estate, and consumer markets. In November 2014, Putin started allowing his citizens to own concealed firearms for self-defense. Russia under Putin made it illegal for foreigners without a permit to preach, and banned cults that engage in family shunning. Not having a permit is why a Baptist pastor came under persecution. Blasphemy against the church is also illegal.
Putin is mainly backed by the United Russia (Единая Россия) party, which currently holds a majority in the lower chamber of the Russian parliament, known as the Duma. The party usually reflects the political views of Putin, which are that of moderate conservatism and nationalism. On March 14, 2004, he was elected to a second term as president with 71% of the vote. Barred from a third consecutive term by the Russian constitution, Putin ceded the presidency to Dmitry Medvedev on May 7, 2008, and became Prime Minister, at the time sharing power with the more moderate Medvedev. Medvedev did not run for a second term, and, as a result, Putin was re-elected in 2012.
Putin is an active interventionist, which brought Russia back on the world stage since the fall of the Soviet Union, this is one of the most important reasons why Cold War features takes back, especially with the United States which is the only world superpower after the end of the Cold War.
Putin has even exercised power over the Russian supreme court. Justice Vladimir Yaroslavtsev was forced to resign after warning that Russian security agencies now control the country as they did in Soviet times and expressing alarm over their lack of accountability. Justice Anatoly Kononov was likewise forced out after defending Yaroslavtsev.
Many who have reported or protested such things have found themselves being repressed - or killed. Journalist Anna Politkovskaya, an outspoken critic of Putin, was assassinated in 2006, and it is widely believed that the Russian government had some involvement in this death. There were 13 journalists killed in contract-style slayings during Vladimir Putin's eight-year presidency.
Despite these negatives – or perhaps because of the strong hand they reveal – Putin remains popular in Russia. Since coming to power, Putin has expanded Russia's economy and reduced inflation. The majority of Russians are relatively uninterested in politics outside of issues affecting their personal prosperity, and journalist Anna Politkovskaya argued that the Russian people, as a whole, have been willing to tolerate violence in the name of "comfort and peace and quiet".
Conservatives such as Sean Hannity have repeately issued warnings that Putin is a thug and a "bad actor" who cannot be trusted.
Initially relations between George W. Bush and Putin were good, with Putin lending passive support to Bush's war on global terror. Putin was restrained from giving much assistance outside the Russian Federation, being pre-occupied with the Islamist movements waging jihad inside his own borders.
In Bush's late second term, Putin was concerned about jihadist infiltration from Turkey and Syria through the Republic of Georgia, and intervened. Former members of the Warsaw Pact, who were more supportive of the war on terror than even the US population, then asked for deployment of missile defense systems on their territories, which the Bush administration was inclined to favor as a reward for their help. Russia considered missile defense deployment on their borders overt acts of hostility. Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, in competition to outdo each other, condemned George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice by sidling up to the Russians and Islamists whom the Democrats portrayed as oppressed victims of a global neocon conspiracy.
Targetted Sanctions, from a Moscow art exhibition.
President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton initially cozied up to Putin, charging the Bush administration was intent on reigniting the Cold War. However once the Rosatom-Uranium One deal was completed and the Clinton Foundation pocketed millions of dollars from Putin cronies in donations and speaking fees, relations began to sour as the Obama administration could no longer ignore geopolitical realities. Putin had protested the Obama administrations illegal drone strikes, and the administration placed sanctions on Russian leaders ostensibly in retaliation for the Crimean referendum.
President Obama's decision to move an anti-missile defense system to Romania during the 2016 US Presidential election only heightened tensions. Putin, who had repeatedly assailed the antimissile system as a grave danger to Russia's security, called Obama's decision dangerous. This coupled with Obama's implementation of sanctions rather than honor the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances negotiated by the Clinton administration, displaying it as an empty promise to guarantee Ukrainian independence, only further exposed the befuddlement and inability of the Obama administration to stand by US commitments and the weaknesses of NATO.
In September 2013, Putin gave a speech stating the need to strengthen Russian culture with traditional values and the Orthodox Christian church. Also, he condemned Western nations and their godless pursuit of political correctness and homosexuality.
In early September 2013, Putin expressly observed that liberal John Kerry is a liar.
President Donald Trump accused Putin of taking Crimea by force and asked whether Obama was too soft on Russia. In March 2017 the US department of state strongly condemned the arrests of hundreds of protesters against Vladimir Putin's government. The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that US sanctions against Russia will remain in place until Moscow "reverses the actions" it has taken in Ukraine.
In response to the April, 4 chemical attack on Khan Shaykhun in Syria, President Trump launched 59-Tomahawk rockets on a Syrian Air base nearby, tensions led up with Russia, Syria's ally, Putin has called that the US attack was an "illegal act of aggression", and answered this attack by sending a frigate to the military base in Syria. In April 2017 Putin explained that the US-Russia relations have gotten worse under Trump, contrary to narratives put out by the liberal mainstream media that Trump is too "soft" to Putin and is Putin's 'puppet' .
In December 2017 Putin warned President Trump because of his decision to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and stated that he was "deeply concerned". Putin also opposed Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and told that Russia would continue to honor its obligations under this deal.
In March 2018, Russian Propaganda video was released showing how a new missile program could be used to attack America. In the video, the state of Florida was specifically targeted.
In 2014 Putin founded the Eurasian Economic Union to oppose the European Union.
After Crimea was annexed by Russia, the European Union imposed sanctions against Putin and his government.
The relations within the EU are different and divided, it is mainly the following countries advocating namely a critical attitude towards the Russian government: the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) Poland, Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, while the following countries belong to the pro Kremlin camp or want to maintain a better relationship: Hungary, Italy and Czech Republic.
Also, multiple nationalist parties in the EU appreciate Putin's policies against the Leftist liberal dominance in Europe, like Marine Le Pen's National Front.
Despite EU sanctions, Russia under Putin continued expanding economically into Western Europe.
Putin's "the decision" is an ambiguous phrase that could include the decision to have the pregnancy in the first place. Also, Putin is very pro-Russia and if thinks abortion is lowering the birth rate in a harmful way, then he could abolish it based on national interests.
As someone who rules in the style of the czars, Putin has before called the Bolsheviks traitors for Russia's defeat in the First World War. However, he has also expressed that "[he] liked Communist and socialist ideas very much and [he] like[s] them still." and compared the Soviet code of conduct to the Bible. Putin also has compared communism with Christianity. Putin was accused of embracing the tactics of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. In addition, he implies in an interview with Larry King dated September 8, 2000 that his Christianity isn't actually sincere by stating in Russian that he "believes in the power of man" or "I believe in human beings." Furthermore, around October 2017, he hosted the 19th World Festival of Youth and Students Communist event and gave a speech that strongly implied that he adhered to Communism. Similarly, he also had provided arms and materiel to various communist groups, including Angola, and has voiced a desire to reconnect with Latin America shortly before the FSLN regained power in Nicaragua and has supported Nicaragua via foreign aid, shipping tanks, and even posting a GLONASS tracking station on the Caribbean coast, alongside similar arming of North Korea. He also indicated that he still keeps his KGB card while citing his contemporaries within the KGB had discarded theirs after the USSR's fall.
In January 2018 Putin said that "[t]raditional Islam is an integral part of the Russian cultural code". He also vowed to support Islamic religious education.
Putin has openly endorsed his Muslim puppet dictator in Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. Kadyrov has de facto established Sharia law in the region and was condemned by the international community for slaughtering gay citizens. Chechen authorities have imposed a compulsory Islamic dresscode for women.
"Anyone who doesn't regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains."
Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, accused Putin of stealing Kraft's Super Bowl ring. Putin responded that Kraft gave it to him as a gift.

The drug is sold directly in syringes, 2 pieces in a package, the cost of which is 18-20 000 rubles. I was given 3 injections, of course, I didn't want to buy packaging for the 1st syringe, but they refused to sell 1 at the pharmacy. But later it turned out that it was necessary to complete another course and my remaining syringe was just useful. The injections themselves were made with lidocaine and were not painful, but after the anesthesia ended, the pain began. And the pain on the entire leg, although the injection was made in the knee. For several hours I really could not walk. This horror was only in a day. This was repeated every time and I, frankly, strongly doubted the result. But a week after the 3rd injection, my knee suddenly stopped hurting. My happiness lasted exactly one year, then the traumatologist prescribed the same procedure with the same preparation. The sensations are exactly the same, but this time everything went 3 days after the last injection.
Treatment with Haimowis turned out to be very expensive. Packaging of 2 syringes with 3 ml. with the composition based on hyaluronic acid cost 20 000 rubles. Self-administration can not be made, each time you need to contact a specialist. The injection is done only under sterile conditions. Despite the fact that the needle is very thin, the injection is quite painful. Simultaneous use of painkillers is not recommended. After the injection, a small bruise remains, a slight swelling occurs, pain is temporarily increased. Unpleasant symptoms passed during the day. At the same time, it is necessary to actively move the legs so that the drug is evenly distributed in the cavity of the knee joints. The drug really replaces the missing synovial fluid, increases the viscosity of the existing one. It became easier to move, the crunch and stiffness disappeared (especially in the mornings and after a long stay in one position). But Haimowis does not completely solve the problem, does not stimulate the independent production of synovial fluid. The effect after the injection on the assurances of the manufacturer should be maintained for 6 months. It lasted 4 months for me, after repeated injection was required.
Although the doctor promised that the injection would be painless, like "gnaw bit", That did not happen. A nonstandard needle – long, though thin, until it reaches the articular bag, is hardly felt. But when they begin to introduce the solution itself, then just hold on. There was a feeling that a red-hot needle was driven into the knee, and then for a long time the injection site was swollen and red. It's good that you need to do it only once a week, more often you would not stand it. The course – only 3 injections of 5 ml, and after each on the 2nd day it became easier. Her knee stopped clicking and creaking; there was no feeling that she was not bending. But not completely satisfied with the result. Yes, the mobility of the knee joints has recovered, they are no longer jammed at the most inopportune moment, the loads in the form of long walks and ascents along the stairs withstand with honor. Do not swell, do not crunch. But here from the pain and aches, especially in the rain or if you catch a bed sheet, the drug did not save. In storage "Haimovis" quite capricious: afraid of heat, cold, direct sunlight. So, for storage, without sacrificing quality, I had to put it in a cooler bag, which I put in a closet on the veranda, where there is no such heat.
The drug was found with great difficulty. A 3 ml syringe cost me almost 20 thousand rubles. The injection itself was given by my doctor. It is performed directly at the knee joint and is very painful. The first injection was made almost a month ago. My temperature rose and my knee swelled up. The doctor said that this was possible and should wait a day for the edema to sleep. I almost did not get out of bed this day, but then the swelling really became less and my general condition improved. By the end of the week was at the reception at the attending and he made a verdict that you need to do another injection. The situation with edema again repeated and the temperature was also low, 37.5. After a couple of days, my knee returned to normal, I even slowly managed to bend it, but I still didn't become completely on my leg. Only after the 3rd injection of Haymosis, the work of the knee joint was restored.

Lavinia Fontana
Christ with the Symbols of the Passion
Italian Painter, 1552-1614 Daughter of Prospero Fontana. She was trained by her father and followed his Mannerist style. Her first recorded works, which date from 1575, were small paintings for private devotion, such as the Holy Family (Dresden, Gemeldegal.). By 1577 she had become established as a portrait painter in Bologna. Works of this date include the Self-portrait at the Harpsichord (Rome, Gal. Accad. S Luca) and the portrait of Senator Orsini (Bordeaux, Mus. B.-A.). Her portrait style reflects the formality of central Italian models as well as the naturalistic tendencies of the north Italian tradition. The elegantly costumed Orsini is shown seated at a table, with a suite of rooms opening behind him, a setting recalling such Florentine portraits of the 1530s as Agnolo Bronzino's Bartolommeo Panciatichi (Florence, Uffizi). Lavinia used a similar setting for other portraits, including the Gozzadini Family (1584; Bologna, Pin. N.). Female sitters are also shown in elaborate dress, with particular attention paid to details of embroidery and jewels, and they are often accompanied by small dogs Related Paintings of Lavinia Fontana :. | The consagracion to the Virgin one | Gentleman Portrait | Christ with the Symbols of the Passion | Self-Portrait in the Studiolo | Self portrait |
Frits Van den Berghe
(3 April 1883 - 22 September 1939) was a Belgian expressionist painter. He was born at Ghent. Like his friends Constant Permeke and Gustave De Smet, he first adopted the late-impressionist style of Emile Claus, but converted to expressionism during World War I.
Pauwels van Hillegaert
(1596-1640) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of landscapes and military scenes. He married Anneken Homis from Antwerp in 1620, with whom he had several children, including the painter with the same name, Pauwels van Hillegaert II (1621-1658). This Pauwels Jr. married Cornelia de Vlieger (daughter of Simon de Vlieger) and had two daughters. When Pauwels Jr. like his father died at a relatively young age, Cornelis de Bie wrote a commemorative poem about him. Pauwels Sr. won royal commissions to paint battle scenes, most notably for the Siege of 's-Hertogenbosch in 1629. He also won a commission for the Battle of Nieuwpoort. He also painted Italianate landscapes, but was mostly admired for his horses and armor.

Centineo Releases "Fearless" Single/Video
by Skope • March 5, 2021
"Fearless" will not be to everyone's taste. Few modern music listeners are likely to give a monologue coupled with an accompanying music track any kind of chance. They would be wrong to do so. The monologue and lyric video for Centineo's new single is the kind of artistic presentation you scarcely encounter today. He's clearly motivated by something within and seems impassioned in each clip. Even the monologue, despite his understated delivery, comes across as simmering with passion. The monologue examines fear and its video depicts the emotion in various imagery showing how people deal with it. The images are well chosen and its black and white color is appropriate.
The lyric video for the musical track couldn't be more different. Its swimming variety of colors with the words superimposed over the background catch your eye and you can't look away. The swirl complements the rousing nature of the track's lyrics, the storm of emotions arising when someone decides to confront the terror in their heart, and crackles with imagination. I think his writing is some of the finest I've heard in recent pop music without attempting to refashion the songwriting wheel. So many songwriters touch on longstanding themes with heavy-handed clichés, but Centineo goes beyond this because he makes things feel so personal.
The electronic music has the same swirling and impassioned effect. Once upon a time synth driven music had a cold sterile sound but technology has buried those prehistoric attempts at electronica with a lush warmth. This track is an ideal example of this change. Centineo has labored long and hard to make this happen and the music has the same cinematic punch as the visual imagery. I cannot help but admire an artist who invests so much of their imagination and time into crafting music like this; it's a reflection of their commitment to what they want to say.
He doesn't waste the listener's time either. The monologue and musical track alike get in and get out without self-indulgence. His production skills are evident as well. I have no way of knowing if this is, essentially, an "one man band", but the sound of both is clear and captures your attention. There are no lulls in the musical track and the arrangement has no audible holes. His grasp of dynamics is practically theatrical. This is music that moves you, propels you from one section to the next, and has such pleasing inevitability you will be smiling very early. I know I was.
https://open.spotify.com/album/1XlJtnes2Oopzmqqu8UAtl
I knew nothing of this artist before hearing "Fearless". If you are unfamiliar with him, he's an artist you should become acquainted with today. I feel like he will be around for a long time to come and his fanbase will only continue to grow, especially if he continues to write and record music and writing of this caliber. Centineo's "Fearless" is a compelling piece of work that doesn't sound hamfisted or cookie cutter. This isn't pouring old wine into new bottles. This is new and wonderfully alive.

Once a small-time gang who got a big break, the Ragers are, or rather were, one of the more prominent gangs in Tacoma. Primarily metahuman, with a focus on orks and trolls with some dwarves and a few changelings, the gang takes their name from the Night of Rage.  Flying a solemn black and grey coloring, the gang has taken a few hits over the years, and are on the verge of vanishing.
Today the Ragers are a shell of their former self. With the leaders presumably in jail or dead after the Tempo Crisis was resolved, as no information about them has been heard for some time, remnants of the gang have stuck around getting their thrills from knocking over businesses, beating in human heads, and the like. Their smuggling and protection businesses aren't as strong, and recently they've clashed with the Spikes in a sort of vandalism turf war.  It remains to be seen how long the gang will last without a known leadership or the connections they had back during the early 2070s, and it seems unlikely they'll make any sort of resurgence.

Ford's Got a Reason to Fiesta
Last week, I wrote about how Ford was so thankful to the Fiesta Agents who were in 100 of our vehicles as part of the Fiesta Movement, and how some of them began to show their thanks as they wrapped up their experience.
This week, it got even better.
On Tuesday evening, Ford hosted a tweetup in Hollywood at the famed Palladium, where we brought together more than 90% of the Fiesta Agents in person, their friends, and fans of the Fiesta Movement to celebrate the conclusion of 6 months of activity by these social influencers. It was a remarkable event - check it out on Current - featuring the band Parachute, a short awards ceremony hosted by Jake & Amir, mobile tweeting food vehicles (including the famed KogiBBQ and Coolhaus), and the first reveal of the 2011 Fiesta.
We even managed to score the World's Largest Tweetup according to Guinness World Records, which is now getting into the social media record-keeping business.
And when we were done with that, we brought all of the nearly 100 agents out on the floor of the Los Angeles Auto Show to help us unveil the new cars. You can check the video out on The Ford Story.
We've completed the first phase of the Fiesta Movement. The numbers were great. But lost in a lot of that was the fact that the pool of 100+ drivers acted as something of a focus group for six months. The agents gave feedback to our design & engineering team so the North American version could be made with drivers like them in mind.
Not only that, but here's the cool part: they've been creating content nonstop for 6 months. And really good content too. So here we have the making for consumer generated media as the cornerstone for some of our early advertising for the 2011 Fiesta:
Since the Fiesta won't be delivered until the spring of 2010, there are still a few months to go to continue the online buzz. But how will that happen now that the program is over? The good news is there's a Chapter 2 to this evolving story.
If you liked what you saw over the last six months, now you'll have the opportunity to get involved yourself and apply to be one of the 20 teams of two that will be part of the Fiesta Movement Chapter 2. Just head over to FiestaMovement.com and check out the rules.
And in the meantime, Ford will be continuing to nurture the relationships with the 100 or so agents who had to give their cars back. They'll be part of @FordFiestaAsk, which is being set up to answer questions from people who want to know about the car or the reservation process. You can see the "Real Answers" interface here or follow the hashtag #FiestaAsk.
And on the shopping site, we're giving people a chance to totally customize their car and get some pretty sweet features and a customer experience that are unmatched in this segment. Once your reservation is complete, you'll be able to share it on Twitter and Facebook to tell your friends about it - and show them the design you've chosen.
So that's where we are at this point. Lots of information, I know. But it's exciting stuff. And there's more to come.

Déjà vu: Microsoft update breaks Windows again
By James Gelinas, Komando.com
No, you aren't imagining it: Microsoft has done it again! While their latest update to Windows 10 was intended to fix the growing amount of bugs introduced with the previous edition, it ended up opening a Pandora's box of problems that broke even more features.
Now, if you try to update your Windows device, this new, glitchy update is your only option to choose from. Is Microsoft asleep at the wheel — or are the bugs facing Windows too numerous to contain?
If you've made the mistake of updating your Windows computer to this new edition, or are looking for a way to roll your device back, here's what you can do to address this problematic update.
Windows is splattered with bugs
According to new reports from ZDNet, the latest Windows 10 update from Microsoft is again breaking features that are supposed to be working normally. This patch comes in response to reports of printing issues from the last Windows update.
Since then, update KB4524147 has prompted reports of the Start Menu failing to open (complete with a critical error message). It also apparently hasn't fixed the printer issues that prompted the update in the first place — with some users claiming that the update has made the problem worse.
If the Start Menu bugs become unworkable, Microsoft's support forum is advising Windows users roll their operating system back to the previous version. Unfortunately, this is the one with the printer issues still present.
Now Windows users face a choice: a computer that doesn't open anything or a computer that doesn't print. It doesn't seem like an easy decision to make.
I updated. What can I do now?
At Komando.com, we regularly encourage users to keep their system as up-to-date as possible. Unfortunately, we couldn't have predicted that Microsoft would have so many glitchy updates in such a short period of time. For now, we are advising Windows users who are experiencing issues with update KB4524147 to consider rolling their system back to the previous edition.
If you have the latest update but have not seen any issues yet, continue to use Windows as it is for the time being. Not everyone is experiencing these glitches, but for those who are, rolling back to a previous update is necessary to rebuild the Start Menu's functionality.
To do this, navigate to your system's Settings, click Update & Security, and then select Recovery from the panel on the left. You should see an option to Go back to the previous version of Windows 10, which will roll back your system to its previous update.
Keep in mind, by doing this you will lose whatever new things were put on your computer between then and now, so make sure to back up any precious information before continuing. The on-screen instructions will guide you through the rest.

Through the chaos of WYD: the Divine in the gentle whisper
Dave LeRoss
The sea: tempestuous, chaotic, and tumultuous. In early Christian literature, the seas were a metaphor for the great unknown. The book of Revelation even compares heaven to a sea of glass, resplendent in all the beauty of the ocean but without the uncertainty that comes with seafaring.
World Youth Day, the international Catholic event that gathers youth from around the world, is held this year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The setting is immaculate: high mountains, beautiful beaches, and yes: the sea. Great crashing waves pound the beaches of Copacobana, where three main events will occur this coming weekend.
The sea, of course, can be a metaphor for WYD itself. The uncertainty of arriving a stranger in a strange land, yet bound by a common faith. The chaos of a sea of people, lost belongings, tempestuous weather. Last WYD, in 40-degree Madrid, the heavens opened on the prayer vigil that penultimately caps off the week-long pilgrimage. The same happened during the final event of Germany, 2005, and Toronto in 2002. It seems God has a sense of humour when it comes to humongous Catholic events, and he always sends rain at the most inopportune time to show it. (In the glaring heat of Madrid in 2011, Pope Benedict wisecracked, "you asked for water, and here it is!") A veteran pilgrim at WYD always knows he is placed at the mercy of the elements.
There is, of course, also the uncertainty of organization at a World Youth Day. How do you prepare a city for an influx of millions of people all at the same time? How do you keep them fed, housed and healthy? Of course, measures are always in place. How those measures work is always the question.
Through the uncertainty, the chaos, and the tempest that is World Youth Day comes an unlikely outcome: a real, lasting, enriching spiritual experience. I have experienced this, as have millions of pilgrims in the thirty year history of the magnificent, crazy, unpredictable WYD events. Like God manifested in the gentle whisper to Elijah, we encounter the divine in the little things, not in the chaotic unknown.
How have you experienced the divine at World Youth Day?
