Rebuild is a turn-based Flash game playable on browsers that was created by Sarah Northway. It was first released in January 2011 on twotowersgames.com.
File:Rebuild I Pic.jpg
It became popular the following month on Kongregate, where it had been played more than 2 million times until Mid-April and stood with its average score at the top 3 games overall.
As of 31st December 2019, it has generated over 9,000,000 plays on Kongregate and Armorgames alone.
The creator described it as a Sim City during a Zombie apocalypse. A Desktop-version of Rebuild 1 had been released in 2015.

1 Developement
Developement[]
Rebuild V 0.01
Rebuild had been designed, coded, drawn and realized by Sarah Northway. Sound effects were licensed on Shockwave Sound, the credits refer to their authors.
During the first days it had been named "Rebuilder", originally planned to release it as a social game on platforms like Facebook. The fact that the number of Zombies raises over time is based on these thoughts.
The development took 6 months overall, with a creative phase of 3 months.
The collaboration with the first sponsor, Twotowergames, hadn't continued after the agreement. Version 1.20 is available there, while the last release of V1.32 is shown on other pages. Rebuild 2 has not been released on Twotowergames.com.
File:Dutch Flu.jpg
A previous story is shown while beginning a new game. It says that a virus from the Netherlands was brought into circulation a year ago. The media called it the Dutch Flu and made connections to a tulip-eating cult. A group of survivors decides to settle down again instead of being constantly on the run. This is the point where the player starts.
The player's task is to fight the dangers of the disease and to consolidate the location. The question of origin moves into the background and during the game it turns out that one of the causes is due to the graveyard.

A changing number of undeads wander around outside of unreclaimed buildings. If they are in larger numbers, the fields are outlined in red. Survivors and food rations get visible by by holding the mouse pointer over the corresponding symbols on scouted fields.
Missions often take a day longer than in its sucessor. Survivors who are not on missions must be deployed as guards at the end of each day. Moral always tends to the base-bottom without countermeasures, especially at the beginning of the game where there is a basic risk that survivors will die that cannot be avoided.
Reception[]
Rebuild had been well-received by players and in game-reviews, often being judged with a score between 8 and 10 out of 10.
It became popular on Kongregate, where it got voted as the game of the month in February and still lingered at their overall Top 10 at the end of 2011. At the time, Rebuild 2 had already been released.
As of the 31st of December 2019, Kongregate users gave it an average score of 4.29 out of 5, still ranked at no. 92 on their highest rated games of all time.
It won the award as the best stategy game released in 2011 at the game review-page jayisgames.com.

2022 Trends Retrospective heading
A look back at the major 2022 country club trends
2022 Trends Retrospective content
By Srishti Singh
2022 brought with it historic inflation and the threat of recession. And while the economic factors created a challenge this year, most reports show that the country club industry continued to grow — although more modestly.
Clubs have been more measured in their approach to evolving their offerings, identifying the improvements that could deliver the most bang for the buck. Technology, once again, proved to be an area where clubs could realize the most value. Additionally, clubs looked at expanding areas that have proven to be popular with members and adding new amenities with an eye to future growth. Here is a look at the 2022 trends and those strategic moves that clubs made this year
Technology leads the way
Throughout 2022, clubs recognized the need to upgrade technology to improve operations and enhance the member experience.
They added innovative offerings like Northstar's Tableside POS. The system equips servers with mini-tablets that allow them to enter members' orders right at the table and have them instantaneously appear on the Kitchen Display Screen. This advancement helps boost order accuracy, improve meal delivery by 4 to 6 minutes, and allows wait staff to spend more time with the members to make the experience exceptional. Other technology that clubs prioritized included:
Member app – improving member engagement by allowing them to interact with the club on the one device that is always with them.
Golf operations software – giving the golf operation a full suite of tools to manage everything from tee times to the pro shop inventory
Business intelligence – delivering the ability to mine all the club's data to uncover the insights that help clubs take the experience to the next level
Reimagining the restaurant and bar
The F&B offering is at the core of the experience for many clubs. So it is crucial for them to continually evolve it to meet the preferences that shift as a result of events like the pandemic or an ongoing trend such as the health and wellness movement.
The pandemic brought with it the necessity to create more outdoor dining and bar areas. Members responded positively to the change and expressed a desire for it to grow. As a result, clubs continued to expand outdoor dining and bar areas this year.
Members also enjoyed the offerings that came with these venues. Clubs increased the selection of 'fast casual' menu items. And speaking of the menu, the popularity of the health and wellness movement had clubs adding more health-conscious items to the menu in 2022.
Golf tees up new offerings
Golf is the other mainstay of many clubs' experience. This year we saw continued growth beyond the course. Clubs added facilities like new practice bays. But they also took a cue from concepts like Top Golf that make the sport more accessible to a broader group. This took the form of amenities like golf simulators.
Family comes first
Clubs continued to create offerings that appeal to the group that represents the greatest growth opportunity — couples in their 40s with kids.
As a result, we saw clubs create family-friendly offerings. Game rooms were added. And pools shifted to aquatic centers, introducing things like splash pads for the kids and offerings like Northstar's Grab n Go that accommodate poolside dining.
Clubs expanded their racquet sports as well, building courts for pickleball and padel. In addition, they retooled programs, developing classes and activities that catered to kids and families.
Health & wellness gets emphasized
The desire for expanded health and wellness facilities continued to increase this last year. Clubs added equipment, classes, and services. Some even undertook capital improvement projects to build larger fitness facilities. Those included workout areas and spa amenities like massage, sauna, salt, and steam rooms. As mentioned before, the F&B operations have supported the efforts by bringing healthier options to the menus as well.
While there was some trepidation entering 2022, clubs continued to thrive. New member recruitment may be down from the numbers seen during the heart of the pandemic years, but they are still healthy. As a result, clubs are investing in the technology and amenities that will help keep their clubs relevant to members and enticing to prospects.
To take a deeper dive into the technology that progressive clubs have deployed this year, request a demo of the Northstar system. It's a complete club management software solution that continues to bring the innovations that leading clubs use to help elevate the member experience. Request your demo, today.

Q: How to calculate the probability spectrum for a 'super roll' with all seven DnD dice? I'm trying to calculate the probability distribution for what I'm calling a 'super roll'. A super roll is made by throwing all seven of the standard DnD dice and adding up their values.
The standard dice are:

*

*1d4

*1d6

*1d8

*1d10

*1d10 × 10 [10, 20, 30... 90, 100]

*1d12

*1d20

I can use this equation to find $P(X_n=p)$ for a single die.
$$P(p,n,s) = \frac{1}{s^n} \sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor(p-n)/s\rfloor} (-1)^k {n \choose k} {p-sk-1 \choose n-1}$$
But I don't know how to go about getting a combined distribution when I add new dice with different sides, s. I also imagine the 1d10 × 10 will cause a problem too and I imagine the above equation will need to be modified somehow.
I've tried playing around with some algebra but I'm not really getting anywhere. Can anyone help me in getting me started with this problem?

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A state senator and former Cumberland County sheriff says he's joining the expanding field of Democrats that is vying to become the party's nominee in the 2018 race for Maine governor.
The Portland Press Herald reports 62-year-old Mark Dion of Portland is joining the race. Whether Dion would run was a source of speculation for months. He's joining a group of 10 Democrats that is running in the primary next June.
Other Democratic candidates include Maine Attorney General Janet Mills and former Speaker of the House Mark Eves. Several Republicans are also running, and Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins says she will decide on Friday if she's running.
Dion was first elected to the Maine House of Representatives in 2010. He served three terms before his election to the senate.

Tyson Fury will fight Gonzalo Omar Basile on his return to the ring at the Copperbox Arena on February 15.
Fury has not fought since April last year, when he defeated Steve Cunningham on his American bow, and was left frustrated after two potential fights with rival David Haye were cancelled due to 'The Hayemaker' opting to undergo surgery.
Undefeated Fury was recently confirmed to appear on the undercard of Dereck Chisora's European heavyweight title fight at the Stratford venue, following his decision to sign a promotional deal with Boxnation.
The Brit is also targeting a world title fight and a possible rematch with Chisora, who he beat in 2011, in 2014.
However, first he must negotiate veteran Basile, who has won 61 of his 70 fights as a professional. Basile, 39, has scored 28 knockouts and is unbeaten in his last six bouts, but Fury is confident he will send his opponent to the canvas.
"It's been a while, but I'm looking forward to getting in the ring again and showing the world that Tyson Fury is back in action and on course for the world title," Fury said.
"I wouldn't say that rust has set in because I haven't fought, I'm always training and in the gym sparring, but I'm now desperate to get in the ring at the Copper Box Arena in front of a big electric crowd and do what I was born and bred to do, fight and win.
"Basile looks good, he's experienced with 70 fights and has fought in plenty of title fights. He's seen a lot in his career against the likes of Alexander Dimitrenko and Artur Szpilka, but he's never seen a man like Tyson Fury before.
"He's just a few inches shorter than me which is great because I've been fighting shorter men, he'll be near my height and once I work out the range and timing, those big right hands will be detonating on his jaw."


Kim Jung-un was upset. Trump's VP Mike Pence made an indelicate reference to the Libyan Model. It wasn't a good sign following John Bolton's use of the term. The corporate propaganda media mentioned denuclearization, but left alone "we came, we saw, he died," Hillary Clinton's psychopathic take on Caesar in response to Gaddafi's brutal murder.


Earlier this year, in January, my mentor from Canada was visiting me to teach another seminar in healing.
At the time, it was so cold in Canada that the roads near her home were shut down. There were news reports that even made it down to Atlanta about people getting stuck in their cars up near her home due to the snow and ice. I wondered how so many people could survive in their cars, and I could only imagine what basic necessities people in Canada must have to carry with them just in case of such emergencies. Blankets, lights, rations. An extra source of heat?
My friend from Canada hardly knew what to say to my friend from Atlanta. I mean, seriously!
I once asked my friend from Canada how they get through the winters up there.
"We just give ourselves permission to rest," she told me.
When the roads are iced over, she just stays home, makes a fire and reads a book. You just don't fight it. You make peace with the fact that it's going to be freezing cold and you simply make other plans. It's not a surprise that it's going to be solid ice everywhere. You don't get upset about it. You learn a hobby like she did, quilting, and you learn how to make yourself happy with peace and quiet.
In the healing work that I do, one of the things that sometimes comes up for people is are they actually living in balance with the seasons of their soul.
When winter comes, we are meant to hibernate. It's a time of deep inner reflection.
If we are still fighting it and expecting it to be spring or summer or even fall, we are going to be sorely disappointed.
Every time of our life has its own riches.
The time of silence is a time to be intimate with ourselves.
This is a time when we get to know ourselves as we are, totally unencumbered, totally unadorned, just as the trees have shed their leaves.
Aging is like this too.
In our youth, we can convince ourselves that we are our trappings. We think we are our job, our job title, the money we make, our salary, our kids, our relations. We can think of all these things that supposedly define us but that are not really who we are.
In the winter of our lives, we know ourselves as soul. We make peace with our emotions, with our mistakes, with our missed chances. We make peace with what we have harvested from life and allow all that we have learned to get us through until the light of spring comes again.
If you have mastered all the seasons inside yourself, you can live in balance and weather whatever comes, whether it's happy or sad, easy or extremely taxing.
One way to practice being in balance at the soul level is to be in tune with the seasons of nature, not fighting it, but finding the peace and the joy and the gifts of each time of year.
I am at peace with my preparations for winter every time I look at the firewood stacked neatly under my house. I figure I have enough to last me, at least for this winter. I wonder about next year, but I am pretty sure I am good even if I lose electricity.
Just this weekend, a friend helped me remove my beautiful blue ceramic fountain from my garden, since it is expected to freeze over this week. I set it aside under my back porch so that it will be safe until spring.
My garden looks more bare, even though my apple blossom double begonias are still blooming. I dread the day I will look out the window and their pink blossoms will be all gone. I wish I could have held onto their greatest flourish.
In the same way, I look in the mirror and I do not look the same I did even just two years ago. I wondered what happened. I have been living my life, going along, and something is slipping away from my looks, despite my best efforts.
These thoughts remind me to grasp beyond to the tether of my soul, which I know is still there, and deepening.

Relativity Space is raising a massive $500M round at $2.3B valuation – TechCrunch
Rocket printer Relativity Space is raising a $500 million D round, valuing the launch provider at $2.3 billion, as reported by CNBC and confirmed to turnel.tech by sources familiar with the matter. That's not bad for company that has yet to take its first payload to orbit.
Relativity aims to reduce the cost and increase the speed of assembling a launch vehicle by 3D printing it from tip to tail fin. The process has many advantages that have been borne out in testing — and the company aims to launch its first mission in 2021.
The company's last big raise was $140M in late 2019, which helped it build out a new Long Beach headquarters and finalize its Terran-1 rocket. The switch from a series of machines and assembly lines with fixed tooling to a handful of enormous custom 3D printers both simplifies the building process and enables new capabilities.
For instance, Relativity recently snagged its first big government contract, a NASA-Lockheed mission with special considerations for the cyogenic systems in the payload. These can be revised and tested right up to a couple months before launch, unlike an ordinary building process which might require the hardware to be locked in a year or more before.
The $500 million round would presumably be to scale operations in earnest, gathering the personnel, materials, transportation, insurance, and other necessaries for taking on major missions. Terran-1 hasn't flown yet, but the projected costs and cadences make it a very attractive option, larger than Rocket Lab's Electron but smaller than a SpaceX Falcon 9 — and pound for pound, maybe more cost effective than both.
Much depends on the next year as Relativity takes Terran-1 from the factory to the launchpad. The first orbital test flight is planned for late 2021.
CNBC's Michael Sheetz reported that Tiger Global Management will lead the round, with Fidelity also joining and existing investors adding their support.

LEAP club members are sorting through classes recycling to see who has the least amount of non-recyclable items.
Recycling impacts our everyday lives as well as the earth that we all live on. This message is what the LEAP Club conveyed this Earth Day at Wahlert.
"LEAP Club means Leaders of Environmental Action and Protection, but we try to do much more than that. We try to bring awareness about the problems going on with the Earth, and then try to offer people ways to combat those issues," said Liz Wilgenbusch,'19.
LEAP club used Earth Day to bring attention to problems right here at Wahlert. The message students are sending is that small gestures can make a big impact on the Earth.
To start off Earth week, students could wear green shirts on Monday, and the LEAP club put together a prayer service.
"During our prayer service, we hoped to bring more awareness of what is happening to the Earth, and we announced that we would be having an electronic recycling bin outside of Ms. Schriver's door. If anyone had an old tablet or phone that they are no longer using, they could recycle it, which could benefit the Earth instead of hurting it if you were to throw it away," said Wilgenbusch.
LEAP Club topped off Earth Day by created a recycling challenge. From April 30th to May 4th, the LEAP Club will be going through classes' recycling bins and picking out the things that are not recyclable. The class with the least amount of non-recyclable items will receive an ice cream party on May 11th during seminar.
"Just doing a simple act of placing a piece of paper or bottle in the big yellow bins could limit the amount of waste that is placed into the world and will allow for that item to be reused," said Wilgenbusch.

How Money laundering is shaping US cities
By Joseph Lawler (@josephlawler) • 3/27/17 12:01 AM
In a little-noticed statement, the Treasury bureau responsible for investigating financial crimes shared a remarkable money laundering statistic last month.
Thirty percent of the cash purchases of high-end real estate by shell companies in six major cities involved a suspicious buyer, according to an investigation conducted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to find out who was behind the deals.
In other words, money laundering plays a significant role in shaping U.S. cities.
But money laundering is only one reason that foreign investors might pour money into luxury condos and exclusive addresses. Foreigners also prize expensive real estate because it allows them to evade taxes in their home countries or escape government restrictions on using their own money.
All that money being poured into U.S. real estate is contributing to affordability difficulties for middle-class families and to the loss of vitality in many of the country's richest neighborhoods, which have seen an influx of cash but not necessarily actual residents. Even so, the U.S is mostly in the dark about the quantity of such investment or the investors behind it.
The Treasury effort
The best hope for transparency in luxury real estate markets is the probe undertaken by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, commonly referred to as FinCEN.
FinCEN was created in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush's Treasury to manage anti-money laundering efforts, and the Patriot Act gave it bureau status. Over the years, FinCEN has entered the spotlight for efforts such as investigating money laundering by drug dealers and probing possible terrorist use of bitcoin, at times earning criticism from privacy advocates.
Early last year, the bureau announced that it would begin investigating money laundering through real estate in New York City and Miami. Under authority given to the bureau by the Patriot Act, it can require all financial institutions in an area to report on big transactions, for a limited period of time.

Rachel asks: Why and how do cats purr?
As any cat owner—or even someone who's seen a cat—knows, cats often purr when they're being petted or getting their chin scratched. They also purr when they want food and when they're eating. Sometimes, they'll purr as they drift off into sleep. Purring is most known to be a sign that cats feel comfortable, safe, and content.
However, cats also purr at other times: mother cats purr when feeding their young, and it is likely that purring is one way of communicating with their kittens. Nursing kittens will purr as well—it is thought that the purr may have developed at such a young age so that kittens would have another audible way to communicate with their mothers, letting them know that everything was fine, and for the mothers to comfort their kittens.
Something slightly less well known is that cats will also purr when they are in pain or in stressful situations, not just happy ones. Going to the vet is a good example: the cat has been taken out of its comfort zone, gone for a bumpy ride in the car, and is now being poked and prodded by someone in a white coat. Still, he's purring—even though he isn't at all content. Some vets have suggested that it could be the cat's way of attempting to comfort himself, like a human feigning a smile when he's nervous, but this is just speculation.
To answer your "how cats purr" question, to purr, a cat's brain will send a signal to their laryngeal (or voice box) and diaphragmatic muscles. The laryngeal muscles then twitch, restricting airflow before relaxing to let air through again. The twitches occur at 25 to 150 vibrations per second and cause a brief separation of the vocal chords, which allows purring to occur during both inhalation and exhalation. Each cat has a consistent pattern, but if you've been around many cats you probably noticed that every cat has a slightly different purr. Purrs can vary in their sound and volume and they are technically considered a "muscular tremor" rather than an actual vocalization.
As to the "why" question-mostly for communication. Many cat owners will be familiar with purrs becoming less cute and more annoying. Many cats develop a way of purring that feels "insistent" or "obnoxious" to the human ear, with some scientists relating it to the cry of a newborn baby. This is called called a solicitation purr. They add a vocalization—a cry or meow—into the purr in order to solicit a response from their human carers, basically telling us "I need something!" It taps into the human need to nurture something in distress—or, if you're a bit less empathetic, just stop the crying.
There is also another surprising reason. As mentioned, cats will also expend energy purring when they are sick, injured, or in some sort of pain. The interesting thing about this is that there have been many studies done on the apparent "healing powers" of purring, and it's believed that the frequency of the cat's purr may act as a type of physical therapy on the cat. Specifically, studies have shown that a cat purring can aid in increased bone density and healing muscles. The same frequency treatment is sometimes used in humans to speed up the healing of certain types of wounds and has been proposed as a way to help humans maintain bone density and muscle mass while in space. In the same way, it is thought that cats purring may help them maintain bone density despite spending the majority of their lives either sleeping or in a resting state (often seeming to be asleep).
Cats aren't the only animal that can purr. Squirrels can purr too.
The longest lived domestic cat was named Creme Puff. She lived from August 3, 1967 to August 6, 2005, a span of 38 years and 3 days. This is well over double the normal life span for domestic cats, which is typically around 12-14 years for males and 13-15 years for females. Interestingly, the owner of Creme Puff, Jake Perry, also raised a sphynx cat which was born in 1964 and didn't die until 1998, a span of 34 years and 2 months. The cat's name was "Grandpa Rexs Allen". Why Perry's two cats lived so long isn't entirely known, however, he didn't typically feed them store bought cat food. Rather, he raised them on a variety of "natural" foods; prominent among these foods were: bacon, eggs, asparagus, and broccoli, among other things. This can be a somewhat dangerous practice normally as cats require certain nutrients they won't always get if they are just eating "human" food. For instance, cats will go blind fairly quickly (and permanently) if they don't get enough taurine, found in muscle. Cats also require a high amount of protein and calcium.
This high amount of protein consumed by cats is thought to be why dogs like cat poop so much, with it being very protein-rich.
When a cat is purring, it's very difficult for a vet to hear its heartbeat. If your cat is purring at the vet's, the vet will sometimes turn a faucet on to get him to stop—the sound of running water will often stop a purr in its tracks!
Studies have shown that cat owners are 40% less likely to have a heart attack than people who don't own cats.
Cats have an inner eyelid that helps protect their cornea from injury as they move through tall grass or whatever other activities the cat might get up to. It also acts as a "windshield wiper," wiping away any debris or bacteria in the eye.
Contrary to popular belief, many cats are lactose intolerant. While they might enjoy milk and cream, it can give them an upset stomach, gas, diarrhoea, or cause them to throw up. Cats also shouldn't be given chocolate, garlic, or raisins, among other "human food" items.
I love this post! I guess you can call me an ailurophile because I love cats. They are so cute! I totally mean no offense to dog lovers at all. I grew up with dogs, and still own one. I didn't know I was a cat person until my first one.

A viewer complained that a news report inaccurately stated that 10,000 diggers were killed on the Western Front during World War I.
The ABC acknowledged that details of Australian casualties on the Western Front were inaccurate. A correction was posted to the ABC Corrections & Clarifications webpage which stated that over 40,000 diggers were killed. An ABC News Online report that carried the error was also corrected and an Editor's Note attached.
