Editor's note: In our Other Roots series, we share the stories of the underrepresented individuals in and around the marijuana movement — women, ethnic minorities and others whose voices aren't as prevalent in the conversation surrounding legalization. If you'd like to suggest an individual to the Other Roots team — an activist, a budtender, a regulator, an executive — give us a jingle.
Wanda James has built a rock-solid list of cannabis credentials in her divergent career.
She's a former Navy lieutenant and political campaign manager who was appointed to work on President Barack Obama's National Finance Committee as well as Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper's Amendment 64 Task Force that laid the groundwork for regulating recreational marijuana. She was the first and for a long time only black cannabis dispensary owner in Colorado. She and her husband, Scott Durrah, a former Marine and certified chef, have owned restaurants in Los Angeles and Denver for nearly two decades; they recently sold the popular Jezebel in Denver to focus fully on their cannabis company, Simply Pure.
More on the cannabis industry
The Cannabist Show: That time Wanda James came on the show
Promotion: California cannabis businesses prepare to promote themselves in recreational era
Philanthropy: Charitable cannabis companies find giving back isn't as easy as you'd think
Producing: He's CEO of Sensi; He promises 'side-effect free' cannabis
Profile: From top gun pilot to cannabis industry exec
Prediction: Are ganjapreneurs going after healthy living as a new marijuana marketing tactic?
"We said, 'Something's gotta give.' We had to make a conscious decision about what we want our focus to be. Scott's focus on cooking and catering and infused cannabis is really important to us. We look forward to being guests (at the restaurant). It's super positive."
James says what drew her into cannabis advocacy was the issue of mass incarceration. James' then-17-year-old brother was arrested in 1996 on a possession charge of 4.5 ounces of cannabis. He did a total of 10 years in the criminal justice system, including more than three years as an inmate in a private prison in Texas where he worked for free, picking cotton. She, meanwhile, could carry at the University of Colorado with impunity. "That incensed me," James says.
Her current priority for the industry:
Banking and being treated as a real business, with access to capital. That is one of the biggest barriers for people of color. We don't have family to give us a small gift of $100,000. Why does my graphic designer get to put my money in his bank and I can't? Why does the Marijuana Enforcement Division get to put money in the bank but we don't? It becomes absurd.
Her prediction about legalization:
With California going legal, it's a $5 billion market overnight. Without banking, it just sets up California for a whole host of messes. California makes it an interesting quandary for government, (considering) the level of businesses that will want to have a part, all the auxiliary businesses. The industry will just be on fire at that point.
Does she fear backsliding around legalization?
No. It's no longer a mom-and-pop business — you've got hedge funds invested in cannabis. We're so far past losing this industry.
How she describes herself:
I'm definitively a pothead, a term I'm extremely proud of. I'm a social junkie, I really love being around lots of different people. Cannabis is a passing of the peace pipe.
What does her mother say about her career choice?
My mom is so proud of me. She says, "Your dad would be so proud." She's tickled.
Does she imbibe?
I consume a joint, at the end of the day. I dab more often now because it's a more concentrated way to be elevated. Edibles I tend to do the least because the effect makes it harder to multitask.
A trait she dislikes in others?
I can't stand dishonesty in people. You get one shot at life. It's a deal breaker for me.
A trait she dislikes in herself?
I overthink everything. I think about every possible outcome … it wakes me up very early in the morning.
Her favorite indulgence?
Probably traveling. I love hotels and eating out. Most recent trip was Jamaica. Best was probably Venice. I would like a yacht someday.
The greatest loves of her life?
That's easy, my dad and my husband.
Her happiest time?
I'm hoping the happiest is still in front of me. I gotta tell ya, I have lived a truly wonderful life. Every decade was fantastic: childhood, high school, college, the military, young adulthood, 30s, 40s inspiring. 50 is so far so good, the most challenging time of my life.
Does she have political aspirations?
I don't want to run for office. You have to give up too much of what you believe and what your soul is. I would like one day to be a thought leader. You can have the greatest influence on people by starting discussions, inspiring people to talk. That's something that can't happen in politics.
Who would she pick, living or dead, to have dinner with?
Outside of my dad, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth. Historical, powerful badass women.
If she could come back as any person … or thing?
I would come back as one of my dogs. Or an eagle. Have you seen that video where they mounted a GoPro on an eagle? That would be amazing.
Biggest regret?
When I got out of the military, I should have gone to law school. I would have been an amazing attorney. But my attorney friend says you can always hire one. There is no regret.
Favorite possession?
A little gold and crystal unicorn my dad gave me when I was 9. (She lost her father when she was 35.) It sits in a curio cabinet in our dining room along with the ashes of pets, some things from our wedding, the wedding gown,the the last Christmas card from my dad.
Her most marked characteristic?
My outspokenness.
Favorite music?
Classic rock.
Motto?
"Well-behaved women are seldom written about."

BREWERY TEAM'S 15 MILE TREK RAISES FUNDS FOR EX-SERVICEMEN
(L-R) Robinsons Director Retail Operations Dave Harrison, Managing Director (Pub Division) William Robinson, Chief Financial Officer Stuart Taylor and Business Development Manager John Hughes
Four members of staff from Robinsons Brewery have taken part in a historic charity walk – Walk on Wales (WOW) – to raise funds for ex-servicemen.
Led by Managing Director (Pub Division) William Robinson on 19th September, the team, which included Director of Retail Operations Dave Harrison, Chief Financial Officer Stuart Taylor, and Business Development Manager John Hughes, walked 15 miles in the fifth stage of the course between Plasyn Rhiw and Abersoch.
William said: "We sponsored the fifth stage of the Walk but thought it would be important to take part in it too. The Walk is a fantastic way to raise money for soldiers and families who have been affected by the devastating impact of active service. The whole experience was very humbling and inspiring."
Organised by veteran Welsh Guards Jan Koops and David (Dai) Graham, the route stretches 870 miles across the Welsh coast and aims to raise £1 million for Combat Stress and The Welsh Guards Afghanistan Appeal, who provide support for any ex. servicemen who live in Wales.
Eleven relay teams are walking part of the course carrying a specially-commissioned silver baton inscribed with the rank, initials and surnames of the 50 Welsh Guards who have died during active service since the end of the Second World War. A small minority of participants will walk the entire route, including Jan.
Four members of staff from Robinsons Brewery have taken part in a historic charity walk – Walk on Wales
Jan said: "Dai and I set this up to remember the people we've lost over the years, people we knew personally. Each day of the walk is dedicated to one of our fallen. I'm walking the whole course and have done 350 miles so far - it's been a long slog and there is still a long way to go but I've really been inspired by some of my fellow walkers."
"We've invited family members to walk with us and we've encouraged each other to keep going. Bruce Carlisle is 80 years old and walked with us for 18 miles in memory of his son Jim. He's even come back to walk a few miles here and there, it's incredible. Alison Elson is walking the whole 870 mile stretch in memory of her son too, it really is an inspiration. We have raised £185,000 so far and are optimistic of reaching our £1million target."
Longstanding Robinsons' pub licensee and ex-Welsh Guard Maldwyn Jones from the Bulkeley Arms in Anglesey walked 16 miles between Foel Farm and Y Garddfon, along the Menai Straits, on 13th September.
Maldwyn said: "I was given the great honour of carrying the commemorative baton for the second part of my leg. We raised over £1,000 in Gift Aid donations alone, which is absolutely fantastic. We have also been selling wristbands and have a collection box in the pub."
William continued: "There is a real community factor about not only sponsoring this campaign but taking part in it and we're delighted that so many of our pubs are getting behind it. I can't speak highly enough of this great campaign."
"Participants will pass a number of Robinsons' pubs en route and I'm sure many will pop in to enjoy the hospitality, which is why we felt it was important to be involved."
WALK ON WALES...870 MILES... 11 TEAMS... £1 MILLION.

Louise Lidströmer invited us to present an exhibition at her beautiful small gallery Studio L2 in the centre of Stockholm. We chose to present Skinny Dipping with sound and light interaction. As you can see from the photos, although filling the space, the works really fitted well in the space and gave a great contrast to the surrounding Christmas shopping in the Old Town of Stockholm. Each of the three larger pieces had a contact mic which picked up sound as people tapped on their surfaces. This was sent to a computer running a Max/MSP patch. This in turn synthysised the sound for playback, and controlled the rythmn and colour of the lights in the gallery space.

Q: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string. Sql I want to display data between the said date range but it is showing the conversion error. What could be he problem?
SELECT *
FROM orders
WHERE o_date BETWEEN '28-04-2020' and '04-05-2020'

A: Try using the standard form for dates:
WHERE o_date BETWEEN '2020-04-28' and '2020-05-04'

Actually, the above uses ISO standard formats for dates, which almost always (but not always depending on internationalization settings) work in SQL Server.  You can also drop the hyphens for 100% compliance:
WHERE o_date BETWEEN '20200428' and '20200504'

I would also advise you to use >= and < -- because such logic works for both dates and date/times:
WHERE o_date >= '20200428' and o_date < '20200505'

A: This will work too:
WHERE o_date BETWEEN '28-Apr-2020' and '04-May-2020'

On behalf of Ammerman & Goldberg "Bankruptcy" Law Office posted in Debt Relief on Monday, February 6, 2012.
Many homeowners who were hit hard during the housing crash and subsequent recession had the unpleasant experience of getting a foreclosure notice or resorting to a short sale. The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 was designed to help alleviate some of the burden of homeowners who are underwater on their mortgage, meaning they owe more than their home is worth. Whether through a short sale or foreclosure, former homeowners would not have to pay taxes on the forgiven amount, thanks to the new law.
That act is set to expire at the end of this year, and realtors are recommending that homeowners facing financial ruin take advantage of it while they still can. Unless Congress extends the tax relief, homeowners will have to pay taxes on the amounts they have been forgiven. For example, if a mortgage is worth $250,000 but the house sells for $200,000 in a bank-approved sale, the bank forgave $50,000. In 2013, unless Congress extends the act, homeowners will be taxed on that $50,000 because it is viewed as income.
Though homeowners have until the end of the year to take advantage of the tax relief, experts in short sales suggest getting started sooner rather than later. Short sales are not short because of how long they take. They are short because they fall short of the desired price. They also tend to take longer than normal sales. One attorney said that it is not uncommon for short sales to take six to nine months, and some can take more than a year.
In addition, some lenders are paying homeowners to put their homes on the market. Some are even paying premiums for homeowners to take care of the homes while it is put up for sale. Along with the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, some are calling this a "win-win" for everyone involved.

Zlatan the Conqueror to leave LA Galaxy
By Reuters For Citizen Digital Published on: November 14, 2019 12:45 (EAT)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not return to the LA Galaxy for the 2020 MLS season, the team said in a statement on Wednesday.
The 38-year-old Swedish striker tallied 52 goals and 17 assists in 53 starts for the Galaxy, the team he joined in March 2018 from Manchester United.
The charismatic Ibrahimovic, who has also played for some of Europe's biggest clubs including Barcelona, Juventus, Paris St Germain, Inter Milan and AC Milan, said he was leaving Los Angeles on a high note.
"I came, I saw, I conquered," Ibrahimovic wrote on Twitter.
"Thank you @lagalaxy for making me feel alive again. To the Galaxy fans — you wanted Zlatan, I gave you Zlatan," he said.
"You are welcome. The story continues … Now go back to watching baseball."
Despite Ibrahimovic being the highest-paid player in the league, pocketing $7.2 million for the 2019 campaign, the Galaxy won just one playoff game in his two seasons.
The team fell to crosstown rivals LAFC 5-3 in the MLS Cup conference semi-finals last month.
He was the team's top goal scorer both seasons and was twice named in the MLS Best XI list.
Few had expected him to return for a third season with his contract expiring at the end of the year and it is unclear what is next for Ibrahimovic, who has been linked in media reports with returns to AC Milan and Manchester United.
"We would like to thank Zlatan for his contributions to the LA Galaxy and Major League Soccer," LA Galaxy President Chris Klein said in a statement, which described the decision as mutual.
"Since his arrival in 2018, Zlatan has positively influenced the sport of soccer in Los Angeles. We are grateful for his work ethic and passion. We thank Zlatan for his professionalism and immeasurable impact on the Los Angeles community and the soccer community in North America as a whole."

Юзеф Косинский (польск. Józef Kosiński; род. 1753, Краков — ум. 1 апреля 1821, Варшава) — польский художник.

Жизнь и творчество
Юзеф Косинский родился в шляхетской семье в Кракове, гербом которой был Рогаля.
Старший брат барона Михаила Косинского (1773—1835). Свой титул Михаил завещал единственному племяннику (сыну Юзефа). Указом Правительствующего Сената от 21 августа 1836 года полковнику Юзефу-Яну Косинскому было дозволено принять завещанный ему баронский титул.

Учился живописи у итальянского художника Марчелло Баччарелли. Совершил путешествие в Италию. Позднее Ю. Косиньский состоял придворным художником при дворе польского короля Станислава Августа. Был королём награждён медалью Bene Merentibus (Добрых заслуг). С 1789 года получал пенсию в 10 дукатов ежемесячно.

Ю. Косинский рисовал портреты короля и придворных, а также известных деятелей своего времени — Тадеуша Костюшко, Изабеллы Чарторыской, Мауриция Гауке. Писал как акварели, так и маслом. В Варшаве обучил многих учеников. Полностью рисовал портреты художник не всегда, зачастую давая их закончить ученикам. Многие из работ Ю. Косинского находятся в музеях Варшавы и Кракова.

Поддерживал тесные дружеские отношения с работавшим в Варшаве в 1791—1794 гг. австрийским художником — портретистом Иосифом Грасси.

Q: Difficulty at Solving Second Order PDE with D' Alembert Method Given the 2nd order linear PDE
\begin{align}
u_{tt}&=\frac{1}{9}u_{xx}, & &t>0,\ x \in \mathbb{R}  \tag 1 \\
u(x,0)&=\frac{1}{x^2+9},&& x \in \mathbb{R} \tag 2\\
u_t&(x,0)=0, && x \in \mathbb{R} \tag 3\\
\lim_{|x|\to+\infty} u(x,t)&=\lim_{|x|\to+\infty} u_t(x,t)=0,&& t\geq0 \tag4
\end{align}
Solution
Let $c=\frac{1}{3}$
We calculate the discriminant
$$D=4c^2>0$$
So it is hyperbolic.
Now we have to find the characteristics
$$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{b\pm\sqrt{D}}{a}=\pm c$$
Thus,
\begin{align}
k_1&=x+ct\\
k_2&=x-ct
\end{align}
I used the following substitutions
\begin{align}
\xi&=x-ct\\
\eta&=x+ct
\end{align} and
$v(\xi(x, y), \eta(x,y)) = u(x, y)$.
We calculate the second-order partial derivatives and we have

*

*$u_{tt}=c^2 u_{\xi \xi}-2 c^2 u_{\xi \eta}+ c^2 u_{\eta \eta}$

*$u_{xx}=u_{\xi \xi}+2u_{\xi \eta}+u_{\eta \eta} $
So I got the canonical form
$$c^2 u_{\xi \xi}-2 c^2 u_{\xi \eta}+ c^2 u_{\eta \eta}= c^2(u_{\xi \xi}+2u_{\xi \eta}+u_{\eta \eta})$$
So,$4u_{\xi \eta}=0\tag 5$ then we integrate with $(5)$ with respect of $\eta$ and then we integrate  the result  with respect of $\xi$ and we will have
$$u(\xi,\eta)=f(\xi)+g(\eta)\Leftrightarrow u(x,t)=f(t-cx)+g(t+cx) \tag 6$$
where $f,g$ arbitrary functions.
We will follow the D'Alembert Method to Solve the problem for the following initial conditions
\begin{align}
u(x,0)&=\varphi(x)=\frac{1}{x^2+9},&& x \in \mathbb{R} \\
u_t(x,0)&=h(x)=0, && x \in \mathbb{R} \\
\lim_{|x|\to+\infty} u(x,t)&=\lim_{|x|\to+\infty} u_t(x,t)=0,&& t\geq0
\end{align}

*

*The solution, for $t=0$, could be written
$$u(x,0)=f(x)+g(x) \Leftrightarrow f(x)+g(x)=\varphi(x)=\frac{1}{x^2+9} \tag 7$$
We differentiate $(6)$ with respect of $t$ and we get
$$u_t(x,t)= c(g'(x+ct)-f'(x-ct))$$
Then for t=0
$$u_t(x,0)= c(g'(x)-f(x))\Leftrightarrow c(g'(x)-f'(x)) =h(x)=0 \Leftrightarrow g'(x)=f'(x) \tag 8$$
Now we differentiate $(7)$ with respect of $x$ and we get
$$f'(x)+g'(x)=\varphi'(x)=-\frac{2x}{(x^2+9)^2} \tag 9$$
From $(8)$ and $(9)$ we have
$$2f'(x)=-\frac{2x}{(x^2+9)^2}$$
So
$$\int 2 f'(x)dx=\int -\frac{2x}{(x^2+9)^2}dx \Leftrightarrow f(x)= \frac{1}{2(x^2+9)}+f_0 \Leftrightarrow f(x)= \frac{\varphi(x)}{2}+f_0\tag{10}$$
and $$g(x)=\frac{\varphi(x)}{2}+f_0 \tag{11}$$
Where $f_0$ arbitrary constant.
Then the solution to the initial condition problem is
$$u(x,t)=f(−)+g(+)=\frac{\varphi(−)}{2}+\frac{\varphi(+)}{2}$$
But it does not seem right to me. Any advice?


Jingle Jam 2018 – $3.3 million!
The Yogscast Humble Bundle ran from the 1st to the 31st of December and raised $3.3 million for charity!
We couldn't have been happier to have Murder in the Hotel Lisbon be part of this bundle and help so many good causes.
It truly filled our hearts with joy to be able to help so many people in need.
Every year The Yogscast runs the Jingle Jam. It is a bundle of videogames where 100% of the proceedings go to charity.
New Nerd Monkeys website + blog!
More posts incoming, specially one about a new game* UHUU!
Meanwhile, we are converting all the old blog posts to this new space, so expect constant updates.
Who would have thought… Filipe Duarte Pina and Diogo Vasconcelos are doing a Reddit AMA about Detective Case and Clown Bot latest game, The Express Killer, as well as overall Nerd Monkeys' related stuff.
This feels a little bit weird because we're so used to answering questions nobody asked us that usually escalates to security "inviting us" to leave the premises. This might actually be an interesting first! Are you as excited as we are? Can you ask us important and relevant questions or will we be bored to death?
We are counting on the community to receive lots of interesting questions… and please… pleaaaaase don't ask us where all the teeth are.
TRAILER E3 2018 + JULY 19th LAUNCH DATE!
It's official! The Express Killer arrives on Steam 19th of July! And to start the countdown, here is the E3 2018 trailer!
The sequel to the acclaimed Murder in the Hotel Lisbon adventure game is now a reality!
Monkeys Stickers by Nerd Monkeys!
This summer you can express your feelings using the power of monkeys.
Because writing words is for nerds, the team at NM prepared 15 stickers for iOS10, these will help you say those things harder to write with touch screen keyboard.
Detective Case and Clown Bot do not like 64bits!
In September "Murder in The Hotel Lisbon" will be taken out of Google Play and the App Store.
Yeap, these past three years of Detective Case and Clown Bot in your pocket were good but, like everything else, someday it must come to an end. The final date is schedule to the day Apple decides to update their OS exclusively for 64bits apps, we know that 32bits app will no longer be supported around September with the launch of the iPhone 8.
Nerd Monkeys is 4 years old today!
Each day we have more and more monkeys, it's getting hard to maintain order in the cage, but we're getting by.
Is it just us or is the studio getting smaller?
This was another Monkey Day, a day someone in the team is responsible to show everyone at Nerd Monkeys a list of currently playing games, personal influences or simply interesting/relevant games to play.
I'll finally be able to play a demo for the next adventure of Detective Case and Clown Bot in: The Express Killer!
We'll be at Comic-Con Portugal, cool isn't it?
So now you know. Just visit the Video game Producers area and search for Nerd Monkeys' table to be among the first people to have a little taste of what the next adventure of the worst detective in the world and his sidekick will be.
Today is the 3D artist's birthday, so we celebrated with a traditional Birthday Chicken Leg in a very fire hazard environment. And yes! We did in fact ate the chicken.
The first bald Nerd Monkey has entered the studio! Some say it's genetics, others point out it's just another life choice. In any case the amount of shampoo spent is minimal.
Another day, another group activity with almost everyone in the team! This time trying out the intriguing Sony PSVR.
With the team growing this fast, it's important we start doing some team building activities, so the studio dinosaurs and the newbies get along, so we did the first Dungeons & Dragons night! Oh my… the fun!
Detective Case and Clown Bot in: the Express Killer is the full name of the new episode that we will launch this year and we guarantee at least 30* hours of entertainment! BAM!
It's this year (not last year) that our first DLC gets published. We are working at this moment, YES RIGHT NOW, on a new episode inspired in the classical mystery train murder stories. Something like Agatha Christie's "The mystery of the blue train", but like… er… it's not like that.
The episode will be available this year to whoever bought the original game "Murder in the Hotel Lisbon" for Windows, Mac and Linux on Steam.
Here Comes A New Monkey!
She looks all tough and confident but she is actually very shy and elusive, so pictures of this rare artistic monkey in her natural habitat doing her animations are very rare.
Meanwhile, Nerd Monkeys is recruiting!
The 2 year anniversary Steam release of Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in The Hotel Lisbon is celebrated with a 75% discount.
The Frequently Asked Questions concept doesn't require much of an explanation as it is pretty much self explanatory. It usually is associated with something extremely boring like a web page full of questions and answers so, for the longest time, we wanted to do something with it, something different. The idea was shelved indefinitely for the past three years and it will probably stay that way forever due to lack of time so I'll just tell you here since it was the inspiration for the next talk we recently got invited to present.
It's certainly true the great majority of questions we get, either on interviews, events and on our inbox are in a way or another usually the same and… you know… frequent so, around October of 2013 during an interview, we had this crazy stupid idea of creating the FAQ you cards. They would be similar to a business card on one side and the other it would say something like "Congratulations! You won a FAQ you card." followed by the question and answer and with a footnote with a "Did you also know?". Plus it could include a completely absurd fact about monkeys, bananas, or whatever.
Fortunately our work over the years has been constant, so we never actually got around to to make the FAQ you cards, so why not take this idea and turn it into a fun Q&A? That is what will happen this 25th of May and will later be posted online for everyone to enjoy.
Do you have a question for Nerd Monkeys?
Games London is a ground breaking new thing to support, grow and promote the games and interactive entertainment sector, so we have to be there! It's no secret we're currently working on a few author projects, we even presented what we're working on last year on the Microsoft Game Dev Camp 2015 event, so the logic step for us was to submit the game to the Games Finance Market in search for interested investors, luckily we were selected so here we go! We'll also be around the EGX Rezzed as visitors, so if anyone wants to meet just give us a call.
Nerd Monkeys is officially 3 years old!
Oh my… how time flies.
Making games is one hell of a job, but it sure takes its time. While we seem to be not very active on social networks and our own website, in fact we're always working non stop But this is going to change, starting today we have our official blog, this right here and right now!
Since 2013 we changed our workplace three times, two twins were born, the team grew from 3 up to 8, and soon to be more!
We launched two author games, one of them got over 115.000 sales, and one app that got first place on the Social category in both AppStore and GooglePlay. For clients we developed two games and consulted for external teams for the development of eight games, some of them very innovative in using hardware like NFC and Bluetooth.
Currently we are developing three new author games, three games for clients and 2 consulting projects!
So yeah… we have been busy, but we're hoping to be even more busy by the next year as we keep on growing the team like mad monkeys, until then the Nerd Monkeys team thanks you, yes you!
Thank you for all the support and bananas!
Under Siege is a RTT game that had a development cost of 1.4M Euros and was released by Seed Studios in June 2nd of 2011 for the PSN on the Playstation 3. Seed Studios was a Portuguese game development studio that unfortunately closed its doors in 2012. This was because Under Siege launch coincided with the infamous PSN hack, a financial blow the company was unable to recover from.
Today, on the day Nerd Monkeys celebrates its third anniversary, we officially announce the acquisition of Under Siege intellectual property from Seed Studios to Nerd Monkeys Ltd. There were many reasons that lead us to this investment, those will be revealed in due time.
Until then, if you want to try the game you can play the trial available or buy the game on PS3 PSN and if you enjoy it you can also buy the art book available at FNAC.
Go ahead… make our game. It's the Humble Weekly Bundle: Play and Create with GameMaker!
Humble Weekly Bundle: Play and Create with GameMaker will be exported on Thursday, September 24, 2015 at 11 a.m. Pacific time.

Got a great idea for a game but no coding skills? Take part in the 2014 Banana Jam!
All game ideas submitted will be voted on in the Banana Jam poll, and the dev team composed of young developers will choose one game pitch from the most voted main genre.
The chosen game pitch will then go into production to create a prototype and, if any good, it will pass into alpha production, otherwise another pitch will be selected.
If your submission reaches the final alpha version stage, your game will have a strong probability to go into full production and be published by Nerd Monkeys. This means you'll earn a royalty percentage of its sales!
So If you have a great game idea, join in the Banana Jam now!
Em breve deverei partilhar todos os detalhes sobre este projecto em que estou a trabalhar, entretanto deixo-vos esta imagem teaser que já circula por alguns sítios.

If you're planning on moving to the Denver area, you're going to need to know some things that the locals already are familiar with. First up, Denver is a great town. But it's also a high town situated at around 5,280 feet about sea level. This might take some adjusting especially if you're used to lower levels and like to work out. You might want to take it easy until you get used to the air pressure. Once you do get acclimated, you'll be happy to note that Denver has been ranked as one of the slimmest cities in the state. That's probably thanks in no small part to the 20,000 acres of national parks, 205 city parks and dozens of fitness centers. You just can't help but get into shape when you live in Denver.
There's always a great workout with a move. Even if you're just going across town there's still lots of packing, box shuffling and back and forth you'll be involved in which can burn off the calories. Getting ready for that move means figuring out what you're going to be bringing with you to the new place. This would be a golden opportunity to finally get rid of all that junk you've been hanging on to. In other words, do you really want to start out a new home with old junk?
Naturally, when you begin to pack up your life you're going to find plenty of items you'll want to toss out but what about all that stuff you can't throw away because they're too big? That sounds like a job for Junk King Denver.
Junk King are professional junk haulers who can be a big help with the move before your move. That move would be the move away from a life full of junk? Too much moving? With Junk King Denver you won't have to worry about actual moving as much as pointing. That would be pointing to the stuff you want taken away. The Junk King crew will handle the rest.
Often folks like to have a yard sale before they move as a way of getting rid of this junk. Sadly, that involves a lot of extra moving you shouldn't be bothered with. What kind of extra moving? Taking all of your stuff down to the driveway or front yard. And if you don't sell your junk then you'll be moving it right back where it came from. You can skip all those extra steps by simply letting Junk King take your junk away once and for all. It's also a good idea to get rid of this junk because it's going to save you money on the big move. And Junk King won't be charging by the hour like your movers will. They charge by the amount of truck space you'll take up. Make a fresh start in Denver the right way without junk.

Those are all very noble intentions indeed. However there is one piece of the organizing puzzle they are missing out on and that's what to do with all the junk you're going to discover you have to throw away? That's a very important issue especially if you're looking to downsize your life with the help of a professional organizer. You could be that organized to the punch by hiring Junk King Denver to handle all the junk removal needs of your downsizing plan.
After you have designated want taken on your and dumped a Junk King rep will come by to provide you with an estimate. It might seem odd that you need someone provide this estimate when all you really doing is throwing stuff out. Actually this estimate is going to be a benefit because Junk King charges you by the amount of space taken up in their truck not by how many hours it will take to remove it.
To summarize: you can help downsize your life with a professional organizer and Junk King Denver. Or you can just cut out the middleman and go straight to Junk King!

Are You Ready For Intelligent Toilets?
Leave a Comment / Your Toilet / By dtagnani / July 24, 2021 July 13, 2021
Yes, it's true. We now have intelligent toilets, and why not? Everything else has the latest technology. According to Kohler, this is next-generation technology. Yet, we all seem to take our toilets for granted. For some, it's a pit stop, but for others, it's a time to relax. For myself, I can catch up on my latest sports team or National Geographic articles without interruption. Whatever the case, our toilet is probably the most used fixture in our home.
What are Intelligent Toilets?
An intelligent toilet is also occasionally referred to as a smart bidet or a type of electronic bidet toilet combination. It provides conventional bidet washing for cleanliness, along with modern SMART home technology. New intelligent toilets combine electronic bidet washing features inside a ceramic toilet bowl for a low-profile and modern look. You can control intelligent bidet features through voice command, smartphone app, or remote control navigation, depending on the manufacturer, brand, and toilet model.
A Snippet Of Toilet History
Toilets previously were considered luxury items but now have been in use for well over a hundred years. However, rural communities didn't have plumbing until the mid-1930s. In the past, you dug a hole, built a small room around it, and call it an outhouse. That was less than 100 years ago. Indeed, Sir John Harrington devised the first toilet apparatus in 1596, when he developed a flushing commode with an integrated cistern. Move forward to the 1980s, when intelligent toilets quickly acquired popularity in Japan.
Numi, Dubbed The World's First Smart Toilet
Kohler introduced the Numi, dubbed the world's first smart toilet, in 2011 at a staggering price tag for $6,400–––no wonder we never heard about it. Nevertheless, the Numi was innovative in that it allowed users to control ambient lighting, water temperature, and even listen to music via the built-in radio. As a result, numerous firms have now entered the race to build smart toilets, each with its own set of capabilities you didn't know you wanted. For instance, the TOTO Neorest 700H will not only clean you but will also freshen the air. In addition, the KOHLER Veil's bidet allows customers to adjust the water pressure and temperature to suit their own desires. However, when you approach the Ove Decors Tuva, you may adjust the seat temperature to your liking.
It's A Bidet – Only The Name Has Changed
Now, most of us have heard of bidets, yet very few have ever used one. In fact, most Americans can't wrap their minds around them. As a result, they never really found a place in the U.S., regardless of many attempts. Kohler and other makers have taken the same principles as a bidet, added many more features, and called it a "Cleansing Seat." Let me make it clear, this toilet seat does much more than clean. From Intelligent Toilets to Cleansing Seats, it's all about creating a better bathroom experience. They're designed to fit most toilets and have features that belong in a luxury hotel. Below is the Kohler K-4709-0 C3 200 Elongated Bidet Toilet Seat.
The in-line heater gives a continuous flow of heated water.
Front and rear wash modes for unsurpassed cleansing.
Water temperature and pressure can be adjusted remotely.
Presets store the separate control settings for two users.
Heated seat with adjustable temperature settings
An LED nightlight will provide lighting to illuminate the bowl.
Warm-air drying system with adjustable airspeed and temperature
Deodorizer helps to minimize odors.
The lid closes quietly without slamming.
Grip-Tight bumpers add stability and prevent shifting.
This particular model can cost just over $1,200. Now, if you're like me, the average "Joe," you'll have a hard time paying for a toilet seat that costs more than the toilet. But, with all that in mind, you can't help but think of the time we spend on our toilets. Is the experience worth investing in?
Nothing Compares To TOTO's Neorest Collection
TOTO has its version of the intelligent toilet; they call it the Neorest collection. Once you've experienced the everyday pleasure and sense of well-being that comes with TOTO's Washlet technology, it would be physically impossible to go back to using toilet paper once you feel the clean. The washlet technology guarantees a precise, pleasant, and air-rich stream of water and will keep you warm as well. The wand has self-cleaning properties for your peace of mind to maintain sanitary conditions.
Mind-Blowing Features Of These Intelligent toilets
The lid will automatically open as the toilet is approached and closes when you depart, eliminating the need to touch the toilet surface. There is no need to touch buttons or knobs, and there is no need to stress about someone neglecting to flush after each use – flushing is automated after each use. When approaching the toilet, the seat quickly heats up, offering a warm, comfy seat at all times. Highly efficient deodorization occurs automatically inside the toilet bowl during and shortly after use, leaving no unpleasant scents behind. Subdued illumination activates when you approach the toilet, ensuring that users are not awakened at night by a bright bathroom light.
