Barbados moves to ban e-cigarettes in public
– It's not just second-hand
tobacco smoke
that health officials in Barbados
want to stop exposing
the public to. Now, e-cigarettes
are to be banned.
Parliament yesterday
passed the Health Services
(Amendment) Bill 2017
which adds e-cigarettes to
products that people are forbidden
to smoke in public.
An e-cigarette is a handheld
electronic device that
vaporizes a flavoured liquid,
which the user inhales.

nicotine, propylene glycol,

Thursday 26th January 2017 c a r i b b e a n t i m e s . a g 9 Lack of exercise makes women age faster, study shows CALIFORNIA, USA – New research out of the United States suggests that women who lead sedentary lifestyles have faster-ageing cells than those who exercise every day. A study of 1,500 women aged 64 to 95 found that those who spent many hours sitting and exercised for less than 40 minutes a day had cells that were biologically eight years older. Scientists stressed that even in old age, it was important to protect genetic material by keeping active and avoiding sitting for more than 10 hours a day. During ageing, tiny protective caps on the ends of DNA strands naturally shorten and fray, but health and lifestyle factors may speed up the process, according to researchers from California. These protective caps, known as telomeres, have been likened to the plastic tips of shoelaces and are there to prevent chromosomes from deteriorating. The length of telomeres is one indicator of biological cont'd from pg 8 Stressing that technology was the way of life, Cumberbatch said it was imperative that students be allowed to exploit its benefits in the classroom and not just for social networking or leisure.

Among other things, shortened telomeres have been linked with an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and major cancers. A significant factor in telomere length now appears to be the amount of regular exercise people take.

They were also asked is in a totally different way. If information technology can be used for teaching and for learning then it should also be used for testing," he said.

"We found that women who sat for longer did not have shorter telomere length if they exercised for at least 30 minutes a day," said Dr Aladdin Shadyab, lead study author, from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. "Discussions about the benefits of exercise should start when we are young, and physical activity should continue to be part of our daily lives as we get older, even at 80 years old," he urged.

Dallas Dupree Young
Dallas Dupree Young is one of the brightest upcoming stars of the next generation and his work ethic speaks for itself.
With varying appearances in Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One, ABC's Mixed-ish, and NBC's The Good Place, Young shows no signs of slowing down—I mean, he's quite literally only getting started. Five years in, the young phenom has managed to snag three new projects, one being Netflix's insanely popular Cobra Kai where he shines as Kenny, a kid who finds solace in karate after being relentlessly bullied by classmates, and the indie films 1-800-Hot-Nite and The Royal, with both films being slightly shrouded in mystery.
Although Young is well…young, he's a well-spoken talent with ambitious energy that spreads at a contagion level. With every new gig he takes on, he's looking for a challenge; with every new role he possesses, his mind absorbs cinematic knowledge ranging from the Spielbergs behind the lens to the Denzel Washingtons in front of it. And he doesn't take any of it for granted either. "With everything that I do, I want to make sure that I always remember to have fun and remain grateful," Dallas says as he adjusts his glasses during our Zoom interview. "This is such a great opportunity that I have, and I want to give my best every time while remembering what I have."
With season four of the Karate Kid spinoff making its grand entrance on December 31st, Marc Griffin was given a chance to speak with the young actor for 1883 Magazine to discuss his experiences on the set of Cobra Kai and beyond.
I know you're playing Kenny in the upcoming season of Cobra Kai—which has roots dating back to the 1980s with Karate Kid—walk me through how that experience has been for you in joining the cast and getting straight to work.
This experience has been surreal to me. I was welcomed with open arms from each of the cast members, and all of them were so nice and respectful of all of our crafts. They also encourage me to work harder and be better every day. But being a part of this iconic franchise, it's crazy to me, and I'm trying to elevate my game to stay with them because they're so talented and so great at what they do.
What can you tell me about your character Kenny? And why did this specific character resonate with you?
Kenny is a bullied new kid in school who is dealing with a rough home life; he turns to karate to defend himself and gain confidence through the teachings of his dojo. He resonates so much with me due to the fact that his storyline is so strong from the beginning to the end; his background, his story, where he came from, and how he's bullied where so many people in our reality could relate to being bullied, and his story can teach us how we can prepare for all of that heartbreak and how Kenny adjusted to all of that heartbreak—it really stood with me. I love the way his character develops from beginning to end and becomes a stronger person who starts to get away from the bullies and stands up for himself.
Thank you for that role of Kenny; a lot of little kids will be able to look at that role and see a bit of themselves within it and find the strength to stand up to their bullies as well. Along with Cobra Kai, you have managed to star in other Blockbusters as well, such as Ready Player One. What did you learn in Ready Player One, and how did you transfer these learned skills to your role in Cobra Kai?
Yeah, thank you, I had so much fun doing it! And as you know, I didn't have a big role in Ready Player One as one of the elementary kids, of course, but being in that environment around Steven Spielberg and watching the way he works was important to learning the level of professionalism that I needed to have on the set of Cobra Kai. Making sure that I'm focused, on point, got my lines, using the realism of our bodies and being natural—I took that from Ready Player One and used that when working on Cobra Kai. Steven Spielberg had a conversation with me, and he said, "you can go far places if you focus, hone in on your craft and just don't do anything dumb that could damage your career for the rest of your life, but I can see you have a bright future" [Both laugh]. And those words really encouraged me, so I brought all of that over to Cobra Kai.
Tell me about that; I know you dropped that casually but how was that experience of working with one of the GOATS in the film industry?
Working with him was one of the greatest accomplishments I could ever say. I remember being in that audition room and hearing that Spielberg would be directing the movie. When I landed the role, I was shocked because I got the chance to be in his atmosphere; super incredible; that's been my goal for the whole duration of my career, honestly. So being around him, my nerves were flying all over the place, sweating nervously; I was worried I was going to ruin my makeup, and I needed to relax (they laugh). Once I had a conversation with him on set, and he was so nonchalant about it, I became more comfortable in my skin, but man, he is such an incredible person, an incredible artist and director. Hopefully, I'll be able to be in another movie with him in the future.
That would be great, man; I hope you get another shot to star in a Spielberg movie sometime down the line. So, you also have an indie drama coming out soon, if I'm not mistaken. It's called 1-800-Hot-Nite without getting into spoiler territory [both laugh].
This particular project was strong, and it meant so much to me because 1-800-Hot-Nite is the first time I'm in a leading role in a movie! And being in that environment was so powerful for me because this kid is a struggling teen, doesn't have a lot of money, is growing up in poverty and is trying to figure out the positivity in the world with his two best friends. Together they all go on this urban odyssey, running away to escape the foster system because he just saw his dad go through something dramatic. As the story continues, you begin to see how he grows; we see how he shifts from acting like a boy to acting like a man. I'm excited about 1-800-Hot-Nite, and I think you're going to love it too.
That sounds like powerful cinema. What were some of your favourite moments from being on the set of that movie?
My favourite moment would have to be my interactions with all the other cast members. So, these two guys play O'Neil—who is Garrison Machado—and Steve—played by Mylen Bradford, and they are so professional, and they want what they're doing [laughs]. We had so many fun times because we had a friendship before the movie started because we had Zoom calls with the director to get our chemistry up and build that bond with each other. Throughout the whole [filming] process, it just felt realistic, and all of the other actors were incredible too, so I'm going to have to say interacting with the cast was the best moment for me as we made a beautiful project.
Was your experience on that movie as good as your experience on another upcoming Indie film entitled The Royal? And what can we expect from this historical film?
My experience on both projects was both equally strong. My time on The Royal was very quick, where I worked for two days. I remember getting the role, learning about Willie Mays Aikens, how he grew up, the struggles and hardships, battles with addiction and being a famous baseball player. So I just took that in with bringing that out with my character and portraying all those different emotions. I had to realize that this dude is a very great baseball player. Still, he's a great activist too, and that was very strong because, being an African-American, I can relate to his experience, and it seemed like he was a really great guy; I didn't get to meet him on set, unfortunately. Still, I got to bring all my love and interest into the character because I'm a huge baseball fan just like him, definitely a great experience.
This movie doesn't have a specific release date, right?
Very soon is all I can say! [Both laugh].
With all these very dope roles you have acquired at such a young age, based on relatable and powerful experiences, how does this feel mentally and emotionally for you? Is there any pressure for you?
I don't feel as if there is any pressure to get it right every time because any time I think of pressure, I just remember how much I love my craft. Any time pressure comes over me, I think about why I love doing what I do and all the amazing cast on set. So I just have to think about that anytime I get nervous with thoughts of "oh, I have to get this right" or "oh, I have to be perfect!" No, I don't have to be perfect because I'm human and still learning. I'm still learning because I've only been acting for five, six years now with so much more to do and understand; I can't let pressure win. But I love that I'm doing all these different types of roles because it's letting me get into new ranges that I never knew I could go and understand new things about myself that I never knew before. I'm so blessed and grateful for all of these opportunities, and each one is just a stepping stone to get better and towards where I'm trying to go in my career.
You're really wise for a fourteen/fifteen-year-old [both laugh]. Speaking of where you're trying to go in your career, where are you trying to go in your career? What would be some dream roles that you have?
So, honestly, it's not anything specific, but I just want to [become] a Denzel Washington-caliber type actor because he has done so many complex and different roles where he just studies so much about emotions, and his portrayal is incredible every time he performs. So, I just want to get to his level honestly and do anything that people throw at me, do it with confidence and change it up like Denzel Washington; he's my inspiration.
I'm picturing a Denzel Washington and Dallas Young movie right now, or maybe a Denzel Washington-directed movie with you starring. Would that be something you would be interested in? It sounds like you would be!
I would definitely be interested in that, either one! He could be a partner in crime in one movie, and in another, he could be directing or maybe both! I mean, I'm really excited for his new movie, A Journal for Jordan, where he's directing that, and it's super powerful to get cast by Denzel Washington because that means he respects your body of work and for that Michael B. Jordan to be cast in that role… So I want to be right there where he is directing me, and I can learn so much from a great actor like Denzel Washington, but either one is fine with me!
It's funny you mentioned Michael B. Jordan because he's an actor that started out very young, had a lot of acclaimed roles, with one being cast in the iconic HBO show The Wire, which elevated his career. Do you have any actors in the game that work as mentors to you that were also child actors and had a similar trajectory as yourself?
That's a really good question. I haven't met too many famous people in my career just yet from working on other projects but watching other actors/actresses interviews I've seen how they act towards each other and hearing what they say in regards to their advice for other actors like Michael B. Jordan where he says things like "if you keep putting the work in and all of your time and you keep rising to the occasion each project that is very strong." So watching Michael B. Jordan's interviews to get advice just encourages me to do more as an artist.
With everything going on in the world, what do you hope people take away from watching your movies/shows like Cobra Kai?
I want people to know that anything is possible; if you keep putting the work in and you're passionate about it, you'll get there. There will be many people who shut us down just because of the colour of our skin or how people think we are without meeting us. Still, if we keep rising to the occasion and exceeding every expectation, we're going to get to that level that we want to be in our careers and lives. I want people to understand that we can knock down all these hurtful stereotypes and become the best people we can possibly be and be on top once and for all.

A Fury of Snow it's an "old Final Fantasy's style 2D RPG" based on A Game of Thrones novels (and tv-show now) from George R.R.Martin. It's based on a simple self-made story which takes place during the Robert Baratheon Ribellion (prior to books and tv-series facts, so it's basically a prequel).
The story has Randolph Snow as main character, an orphan Winterfell knight. He became suddenly part of the facts that led King Aerys madness starting a war. That war involved all greater houses of Westeros and it was called the Robert Baratheon Ribellion.
The game has casual enemies on outdoor maps (not so much, I hated find enemies too frequently when I moved from one place to another) and turn-based battle system. You will find every other characteristic feature that made old 2D RPG so good, such as levelling (learning new spells or abilities), shops and simple mind-games. You will find a great and epic final boss fight and also a special enemy hidden somewhere on the map (do anybody remember Ultima from Final Fantasy? The idea it's pretty similar, except that here we have the most dangerous creature in A Game of Thrones world..).
During the plot you will meet characters from the book – and in some cases you will CONTROL them in your party – such as Ned Stark, Robert Baratheon, the Old Bear Mormont, Jon Connington and Sir Barristan Selmy.
You can finish the main plot in about 5-6 hours; some principal enemies are challenging but don't worry, you will not pass a large part of your time trying to level up. When your character will become more powerful it will learn new abilities according to his class (Knight, Red Priest, etc.). You'll be feeling 'home' (if you're considering Westeros your second home) with images and characters from the novels and musics from the tv-show.
It makes sense to me to develop a game that I WANTED to play but strangely didn't exist yet. I had so much fun developing it and design characters and the story, their abilities and scripted quests. I hope you also will have fun playing it.
You can run it in every Windows computer. It's made with RPGMaker VX. I do not own any music, image or (obviously) any part of the surrounding story except for the main plot (the Randolph Snow story). The game is developed for fun and I do not intend, in any kind, to use the product for business purposes.


If you hang around cannabis users at all, you're probably familiar with the idea that it helps people to gain insight into themselves. Authors such as Carl Sagan and Michael Pollan have articulated this effect in great detail.
Another of cannabis' well known effects is that it gives us courage. Maybe the stories about ancient Islamic soldiers eating hashish and the word assassin being derived from the word hash are myths, or maybe not. In any case, it's quite obvious that it does give us a certain specific kind of courage. I would describe that flavor as 'courage to self reflect'. In this day, we generally assume that self reflection would help a person be more peaceful. But, maybe in those ancient times, self reflection could lead you on a path towards (necessary) violence in the form of assassination. It seems like an unlikely path now, but times change.

If your house has morphed from a comfortable home to a messy pig sty, it's time you regained control. Read Canstar's tips to get started.
You don't have to wait for spring to have a thorough cleanout. As soon as that clutter starts to crowd you in, mentally and physically, it's time for action. After all, do you really want to drown in a sea of insignificant memorabilia, bedside table pick-up sticks, a mounting floordrobe, or dust-coated items untouched in years? Be honest: we all suffer buyer's remorse from time to time.
You can declutter your home with these handy tips and tricks. Working out how to declutter your house can be overwhelming for many people. We've broken it down into easy-to-manage steps to help you enjoy a clutter-free living environment.
Need help cleaning up your finances?
*Where to start, what to keep and what to throw away?
Before you embark on a mammoth household clutter-bust, start with something easy, like a drawer or small cupboard. You need a fast and impressive result for encouragement. And remember, decluttering your home isn't just about throwing things out, but putting items back in some kind of order, so you can find anything, from a pair of scissors to a telephone bill in a matter of seconds.
When it comes to clearing out your lounge or kitchen, keep to a time limit, such as two to three hours, and work through a room in sections. If you're having trouble, make it a two or three-step process.
Ask all household members, including your children, to help you to declutter your home. That involves teaching them the 'one in, one out' rule – if you buy a new toy or piece of clothing, an older item must be passed on. And just think, you o could perhaps have a profitable garage sale with the discarded items.
The key to getting rid of clutter in the house is to reduce your stuff as much as possible and then have good storage solutions in place. When culling, sort your mess – be it toys, books or clothes – into four piles. That means deciding whether it needs to be thrown out, sold or given away, put back where it came from, or stored somewhere else.
Once you've decluttered and culled, the key to having a tidy space is always putting things back in their place. Don't start building more piles or shoving things into drawers or you'll soon be back to where you started. If you're too tired to sort paperwork at the end of day, make a time each week to file bank statements and notes from school.
When decluttering your kitchen, start with pots, pans and containers. Chuck out any chipped or cracked china plus any pots or pans with broken handles and dense coatings of burnt fat. Also throw away any plastic containers that don't have lids and make a resolution to tidy your pantry three times a year. Check use-by dates on cans, wash containers and arrange cupboards according to type. Everything needs to be clearly accessible.
Start decluttering you and your kids' wardrobes by only having seasonal clothes hanging up. This means storing your summer clothes if it's winter and vice versa and you'll instantly have double the wardrobe space! If there aren't enough shelves in built-ins, buy storage systems that fit inside them. Use suitcases for storage under the bed. Compartmentalise large drawers, so your best lingerie is separate from sports bras etc and you can find what you need without rummaging.
To help your kids put their toys away when they've finished playing with them, make sure they have easy spots to store them. That means containers without lids, as small children have to use two hands to put things away. Teach the kids that everything has a place and must be returned each night.
When it comes to clearing out the shelves and cupboards filled with shampoos, soap, shower gels, discarded make-up and cotton buds, first take everything out and get rid of anything that isn't being used. This includes complimentary items from hotels you were saving for guests, old shampoos that are almost finished but not quite, and old, empty perfume bottles.
As you go through the process, you'll discover more and more what's important to you. If you haven't worn or used an item for several years (some decluttering experts advocate three months!), give it to charity or bin it.
The aim is to find a home for your clutter. For instance, sorting and filing papers to a permanent home behind closed doors and drawers is much better than leaving them on open shelves and surfaces where they will continue to assault your already overloaded senses.
The good news is that terrific and well-priced storage solutions are readily available at heaps of stores. These are crucial to living a life without clutter so use them and relish in the empowered lightness that freedom from the stuff we no longer need will bring.
Happy and successful clutter busting!

Q: After adding border unwanted scroll appears I use autocomplete widget mdAutocomplete from Angular Material.
Currently scrollbar appears if list contains more than 6 elements.

But when I add a border to md-virtual-repeat-container

md-virtual-repeat-container {

  }

scroll always appears, even for 2 elements.
I don't want to have a scroll-bar when number of elements in the list is less than 6.
I've already tried overflow: hidden; and it didn't work.

'Nationalism' Shouldn't be a Dirty Word
If there's one thing that elite opinion tends to agree about on the left and the right, it's that nationalism is a very bad thing. If anything, this view has become even more entrenched as nationalism has demonstrated its potency in recent years, from the election of Donald Trump to Britain's vote to leave the European Union.
When President Trump first openly embraced the term "nationalist" at a 2018 campaign rally, commentators reacted in horror. Patriotism is about love, nationalism about hate, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof opined. Trump, insisted Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post, is "normalizing a hateful political philosophy that is contrary to our deepest-held beliefs."
As I write in my new book, "The Case for Nationalism," this reflexive hostility to the concept is ill-informed and an attempt to deem nationalism a swearword and end all discussion on that basis.
At its most basic, the scholar Azar Gat writes, nationalism is "the doctrine and ideology that a people is bound together in solidarity, fate, and common political aspirations." Historian Anthony Smith described the national ideal as "a belief that all those who shared a common history and culture should be autonomous, united and distinct in their recognized homelands."
When Europe went off the rails in the early 20th century, nationalism as such didn't cause its crash so much as social Darwinism, militarism and the cult of charismatic leadership. The aftermath of World War I added its own poison.
Regardless, American nationalism — which encompasses such diverse, rightly beloved figures as Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt — is not to be feared. As with so many other things about this country, it is more benign than the versions to be found in Europe and elsewhere.
This is true for a number of reasons. First, we are the inheritors of an Anglo-American tradition that has profound respect for the individual and the rule of law and is a fundamental part of our national identity.
The sheet anchor of American sovereignty, the U.S. Constitution, makes it clear that authority ultimately resides with "we the people of the United States." The Constitution also happens to be a durable mechanism of self-government and itself an object of patriotic loyalty and national pride.
Finally, the United States was never infected with the dream of universal empire that Europe inherited from Rome and that has lingered on in differing forms from Charlemagne to the European Union.
The rise of Donald Trump has pushed the left further away from respect for nationalistic attitudes and even patriotic symbols. Democrats—and the country—would be much better served if they countered Trump's nationalism with a version of their own.
On his own side of the aisle, Trump has made Republicans more nationalistic. Still, much of the party is quietly uncomfortable with this. If Trump loses in 2020, the party's establishment may try to snap back to its pre-Trump disposition of relative indifference.
Yet, if there's one clear political lesson from the long history of nationalism in this country and elsewhere, it is that a party interested in moving people and selling a program should make some sort of an appeal to it — even if conventional wisdom insists it is foolish and wrong.

Politicians investigating Capitol riots to vote on recommending criminal charges against Trump – reports
The US House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riots is preparing to vote on urging the Justice Department to pursue criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, according to US media reports.
The charges proposed for Mr Trump include insurrection, Politico reported on Friday, citing two unidentified people familiar with the matter.
The committee, made up of seven Democrats and two Republicans, will vote on its report and criminal referrals on Monday.
While the congressional panel cannot bring legal charges against Mr Trump, it can decide to make a criminal referral to the Justice Department, should members choose.
A referral does not necessarily mean that the Justice Department, which is conducting its own investigation of the riot, will decide to file charges.
The committee is investigating the storming of the US Capitol building which saw thousands of Trump supporters descend on Congress on 6 January 2021 in a failed bid to overturn Mr Trump's 2020 election defeat.
Five people including a police officer died during or shortly after the riot and more than 140 police officers were injured.
The committee's public hearings in which it questioned former Republican aides and key White House staff about the lead-up to the riot, shed light on Mr Trump's role in provoking the unprecedented assault on the Capitol.
Image:Pro-Trump protesters storm the US Capitol during the rally
Mr Trump told his crowd of supporters that he would never concede the 2020 election and urged them to "fight like hell" before they marched to the Capitol on 6 January 2021.
The committee subpoenaed the former president at the end of its final public hearing in October.
He initially said he would comply, but then sued to avoid testifying or providing any requested documentation, and declined to show up for a deposition.
Jan 6 Capitol riot video
The committee has collected a trove of material relating to the riots, including transcripts of more than 1,000 interviews and millions of other documents.

Steve Bannon sentenced for refusing to testify over Capitol siege
Retired policeman jailed for assaulting officer in US Capitol attack
In October, a police officer on duty during the US Capitol riots, Michael Fanone, told Sky News he thought he would die after being beaten and struck with a Taser device at the base of his skull, causing him to suffer a heart attack and traumatic brain injury.
The attack on the Capitol sent politicians fleeing for their lives as people smashed windows and forced their way into the building.

I borrowed this from Bogie, who borrowed it from Drumwaster. I figured I was mid-nerdy. I don't have much math in my background, but I did like school. I don't understand the innards of my computer, but I really enjoy using it. AND, bed-time on Friday night is 10:00….an hour later than the rest of the week. Nerdy, huh??
The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.
Borrowed From Cop Car, Bogie, Jim at …..
You are an EA-6B. You are sinister, preferring not to get into confrontations, but extract revenge through mind games and technological interference. You also love to make noise and couldn't care less about pollution.
You scored as XIX: The Sun. This is the happiest card in the deck. It is full of joy and optimism, everything is right with the world. We are as innocent children playing in the fields without care. The Sun brings success, well-being and happiness in all spheres – material, emotional, spiritual -wherever our desires lay.When this card appears in a Tarot spread it indicates success, joy and happiness. Obstacles will be overcome, goals achieved.When badly aspected, it can indicate a stagnation through over-indulgence, too much of a good thing.
Which Major Arcana Tarot Card Are You?
Arrrrrrrrrrr!! I be BLACK MORGAN CASH…..
Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!
Don't you need to know your pirate name? A friend sent me this link, so I could learn mine, and now you can learn yours, too!
I was visiting at Blue Witch's blog, and saw the Quizilla test "What Witch Are You?" I figured it was worth a try, but I'm a bit surprised at the results. I feel the need to mop up the spilled wine…..
I was visiting over at Bogie's and found this quiz. I really think that I may be a long lost member of her extended family. She and I came up with the same results!
What Type of Moron Are You?

Case Studies & Reports
Game Review: Vice-Versa – Everything Flappy Bird Never Was
Sid James
Perhaps Flappy Bird's biggest success was not in the game itself – no matter how popular it was – but in the fact that it has spun off a complete subgenre.
Vice-Versa is a mobile game built by the French studio Epigama, for Android-powered devices. It draws inspiration from Flappy Bird in terms of gameplay mechanics and the overall feel of the game, but takes the genre to the next level, improving in its every aspect.
Running the game
First thing you'll notice when you run the game is that its graphics feel somewhat familiar – take away the background and you get a Super Mario-looking game, just like Flappy Bird was. But that's the feeling which will follow you throughout the game – take away a detail, and you'll get something you've already seen before. Come to think of it – it's actually quite amazing. It aligns with the general idea that the game builds and improves an already good concept and even though it feels as you've played the game a million times before, it still looks brand new.
Being the musical type, I always pay close attention to the sound of the game. Audio is quite an important element to the game, as it sets the entire mood. The game's creators obviously wanted to go for the "I feel pretty and witty and bright" feel, but instead ended up sounding like an Apple commercial.
Just let the game play its tune and try reading this sentence out loud: "With our new iProduct, you'll be able to do all the stuff you already do with your other device, only ours is three times the price!" See? Typical Apple music. Luckily, it can be turned off in the menu.
I can literally hear the box saying "I should have gone to college"
I don't know what the game's creators were smoking when they first came up with the idea of Vice-Versa, but whatever it is – I want some. The game features a character I can only describe as a living, talking three-eyed purple pill (hello, Dirty Dozen), with a perpetual motion jetpack strapped to it's back. When the game starts, the jetpack will pull the pill upwards. If you don't react fast enough, you'll hit the top of the level and die.
Tapping the screen flips the pill, and the jetpack, upside down, forcing it to go down. Yet again, until it hits the ground. So the point is to tap constantly in order to have your talking purple pill move forward without hitting any of the obstacles. Gravity also comes into play, so even though you flip the pill in the right direction, it will still move in the opposite one for a moment, until the jetpack kicks in. So, similar to Flappy Bird, perfect timing is of the essence – but it is executed in its own, original way.
There are plenty of obstacles in the game, with the developers really being creative with it. From spinning wooden boxes, to bricks appearing from thin air, to boxes with indifferent smiley faces on them, as they're saying "I don't know what I'm doing with my life." It's not as hard as Flappy Bird, but it still can be pretty challenging to finish a level.
Extra value and monetization
Shop offers just enough to keep you busy
Vice-Versa also features quality power-ups which really open the game up for new possibilities. The power-ups, including shrinking the pill, giving it a shield or slowing things down, can be picked up during play, or can be bought with coins that can also be picked up during play.
Coins can also be earned by watching a video ad or with real cash. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test the shop, as wherever I tapped (the video ad or the real-money purchase), the game didn't respond.
Even with this obvious bug, the game performed nicely. I could collect enough coins in-game and power-ups which spawned during play were just enough to keep me interested. The game's levels are fairly lengthy, with certain checkpoints along the way. If you lose a life, you can spend 10 coins to restart from a checkpoint, or you can start from the beginning, for free. A great and simple solution.
Closing comments
Looking at the game as a whole, I can say it is a serious step forward from the genre's originator, Flappy Bird. It builds on it in every aspect of the game, from the visuals, through gameplay, all the way to its replay value and monetization. It is a lot of fun, it's engaging and it is difficult enough to keep you interested for extended periods of time.
Unfortunately, it is not without its kinks. The music sets a completely wrong mood to the game, and the obvious bug in the shop is something that really shouldn't be happening to games of such quality. Still, it was a joy to play.

The Old Castle (Alte Burg) is a demolished hill castle on an almost circular conical hill at a height of  southwest of the village of Demmingen in the municipality of Dischingen in the county of Heidenheim in the German state of Baden-Württemberg.

The castle was built in the 13th century by the counts of Dillingen, but later went to the lords of Hürnheim and then the Fugger counts. The castle was destroyed before 1551 and was torn down between 1570 and 1572.

The castle had a 6.6 X 10.3 metre tower house with a wall thickness of 1.72 metres.

Are you looking for a car that gives you all the fixins' without breaking the bank? If so, then a certified pre-owned Honda Accord is probably the right choice for you: its status as certified pre-owned ensures that you're getting Honda-approved quality while also enjoying incredibly affordable used car prices. You'll trust that each of these cars is outfitted with some of the latest tech — some even have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. See the variety of CPO Accord sedans and coupes below.
What better way to verify our admittedly biased claims about this car than by test driving it yourself. Read one more review, get the details on what 'certified pre-owned' means, and then swing by Commonwealth Honda in order to take the new Accord out on the road!


Blackboard best-seller Sugar is the superb first novel by Bernice L. McFadden. An emotional journey from grief and suffering to understanding and forgiveness, Sugar will keep you turning pages until its graceful conclusion. Sugar arrives in the small town of Bigelow, Arkansas like an ominous storm. She saunters down the street in a blonde wig and spiked heels, cigarette dangling between red-painted lips. Without even speaking to her, the women in town hate her. But when she moves in next door to Pearl, a woman who tragically lost her daughter 15 years earlier, the two women bond over tragic pasts. In this remarkably vivid novel read by gifted narrator Myra Lucretia Taylor, you can almost smell the blooming magnolias in this 1950s-era town.

All school districts/boards across Canada offer educational programs from Kindergarten through to Grade 12 (5-18 years). However, which programs are offered to international students will vary. School structures and grade groupings also vary throughout the country. The following definitions are intended to assist in explaining the terminology and help prospective students and parents understand some of the different organizations they may experience.
Elementary schools provide educational programs for students from Kindergarten and Grade 1 through to Grades 4,5,6 or 7. These early years provide an important foundation for lifelong learning.
Junior high schools generally include Grades 7,8 & 9 and provide a transition for students from elementary to high/secondary school.
Secondary or high schools offer opportunities for students beginning in Grade 8, 9 or 10 to continue their studies through to Grade 12 in order to complete graduation requirements. These schools offer students more choice and opportunity to 'specialize' in their particular areas of interest while preparing for post-secondary education and future careers. Where offered, qualified students may also enrol in the International Baccalaureate Program or take Advanced Placement (AP) courses.


Camberley, Where the burberrins live on.
No, that title is not a pun, you really do see burberry caps here still, and from what I understand, burberry is not that in anymore. F**k it, i'll get to the crux; Camberley is a place which not only harbours charvas in their droves, but many of these know me, which is detrimental to me to say the least.
Let me begin with where I went to school, Tomlinscote (or Tomlinscat as it is more deserving of being named) is touted as a language college of national merit. Dont be fooled for a second, the language college thing is there to screw more money off the government in order to build a better environment for the skivs and skivettes to defecate and ruin, and national merit? If that was so the nation's ruined; Sorry, but it is. Still, and this is depression-inducing even to say it, but it really was a comparatively good school, since it remains the only school out of the other two in the Camberley area where someone hasn't been STABBED! So its a safe school, well done, but that doesn't change the hatefulness of all the skivs though, does it?
Yeah, the skivs, the main problem with them is the way they belittle you for no good reason; although when I say belittle I mean something like "NNNNNNNNNN…FREAK…NNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" or "uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh!"; Clearly, the genes are from the skip. What makes things worse is that I am a person with Asperger's Syndrome, which basically translated to them means more "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNs".
Now , the town, I hope the whole school thing set the tone, because you would be right. While some parts are worse than others (Old Dean, Heatherside), you can't escape it; you will be fine for a few moments until a gaggle of them go past you and utter "Batty" or "Freak" or "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!". The only place you can truly avoid is the walkway with BHS, Post Office, and of course, Woollies! Probably the only convinience store that thinks its a supermarket!
Old Dean: Scatty, run-down zone-of-alienation flats and Collingwood College (someone was STABBED with scissors there! Surprise!). I have a friend who is in this area, poor him, but back to business. This place wouldn't look out of context in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow Of Chernobyl, and neither would the inhabitants, having been started on by one for speaking, they remind me of Zombies, without the character or the poise. The local charva force is the ODA (Old Dean Army).
Heatherside: Where can I begin with this? The fact that its charvas have formed HSC (Heather-Side Crew), and that Sainsburys there won't pay them a pittance says it all. Speaking of HSC, this is not like the ODA, who actually chain people to posts and mug them apparently; this is just a thing where people guzzle (or even snort) White Lightning and smack and skunk and soil and even each others genes in a horrendous mating ritual, so nothing to come your way other than a few comments and stuff. The only way I can sum up HSC is "Hicks in S**t Cars".
Finally, having been called freak (the word of the truly ignorant) on several occasions, I'd like to say god help you should you ever live round here with Aspergers; and dont become a chav yourself, It'll ruin you and this area even more.


Photography is my favourite creative outlet. It allows me to have fun, break rules, experiment, explore, and teach. There is always something new to learn, and the process of creating images is as exciting as the end result.
Some of my best creative inspiration has come from thowing around fire, solitude treks in the desert night, setting up high-speed contraptions, and taking on a 365 photo challenge. I shoot what I love, which always keeps me inspired and passionate to create beautiful images.
If you are interested in my photography and would like to talk about working together, please get in touch with me using the 'Contact' link above. Also, I would love to connect with you through your favourite social media.
Are you interested in taking your photography to the next level? If so, please check out ShutterBirds. Tracy Connery and myself teach photography workshops and events that are fun, interactive, and hands-on. We provide you with new skills that translate into developing your photography and expanding your creativity.

How to restore Pelvis Balance?
By taking this time, you'll be able to prevent problem and be at your best to take care of your baby.
– Until the 21st days, put a compression bandage around your pubic symphysis, around your hips and under iliac crest. You can use a scarf or a slink or belt provided at the hospital.
Nobody told you that (one more time!), but it is common to experience articular pain after delivery (wrist, ankle, pelvis, back,….).
– The most common one is around your sacro-iliac joint (your pelvis) with or without irradiation in your legs as a sciatica.
– Thanks to your hormones, you are very flexible and consequently you could have a sciatic nerve pinch with or without irradiation.
– Another important pain is localized in the pubic symphysis area (maybe you had a SPD during pregnancy so you already know this pain!): You can feel a burning pain in between your legs, especially when closing or shearing your legs (walking or rolling over).
– The last but not the least is coccyx pain. You can feel it when you sit down or when you stand up. If you gave birth lying on your back with legs up, your sacrum or your coccyx may have moved backward or slightly on the side leading to muscles/articular tension and pain.
For this last problem, the best it is to see a therapist (womens health physio or osteo). He/she will manipulate your coccyx/sacrum in its correct position.
In the meantime, try to sit forward, wear your pregnancy belt on and, sit on your Swiss ball as often as possible.
You'd probably notice a gap in the middle of your tummy. Also your tummy seems very soft and a bit swollen (you can see your gut working after a meal!). It's call a diastasis!
It is very very important to close this gap before to start any lifting or exercises. See Here to know more about it!
As you are a new mum I know, you can't avoid lifting your baby and the prom and…..
Still you can protect it! Ask your women's health physio to put a diastasis k-taping to start closing this gap and to avoid your gut to herniate through this gap. In case where the diastasis didn't disappear an Abdominal Rehabilitation may be necessary.
I know that is not the most glamour part…. But it is very important to heal this damaged part of your body.
You might have a tear or an episiotomy and have stitches. But even so, you have to start soon to squeeze gently your pelvic floor.
I am not telling you to do your kegel exercices directly at the hospital. But after 48 hours you should squeeze it 3 or 4 times, twice a day (as if you want to stop the urine flow) you will help the blood circulation and the healing process. It is also important to avoid swelling and to retrain your muscle.
Start by squeezing your pelvic floor correctly, to do so relax when you breathe in and squeeze when you breathe out.
Try to do it in different positions without gravity or abdominal pressure (lying on your back or on your side, sitting in a comfortable position. You can do it when you are breastfeeding if you feel comfortable). For more details have a look at our previous article about pelvic floor exercise.
Never try to stop urinary flow when you urinate (stop pee is reason of cystitis!!!).
In some cases, due to an important weakness or other issue (episiotomy, incontinence or prolapse…), a pelvic floor rehabilitation may be necessary to recover a correct control and strength. For more information, have a read at our previous article about pelvic floor rehabilitation.
If you did pregnancy perineum massage, it is going to be an easy one! Put some cream or lubricant or almond/perineum oil and make half circle.
Your physio can also help you at this stage with lymphatic massage or electro stimulation to promote healing of your scar.
After 6 weeks, you shouldn't feel your scar anymore. A non-contractile fibrous scar block nerve endings and cause a loss of sensation and mobility.
In the first weeks (up to 3 months), avoid impact sport (running, jumping,…).
Classic abdominal exercises are completely forbidden in the first months (otherwise you will worsen your diastasis).
For more details about what sport to do or do avoid have a look at our videos or our previous article on the topic.
For specific exercises to do after giving birth have a look at pelvic floor exercises and at abdominal exercises!
We hope you find it interesting! Don't hesitate to give us feedback if you tried some of our tips or if you would like to share one of yours with us!

Q: React Native -PreactNativeArchitectures=x86 always builds all ABIs. How to build only one? I created a new react-native project with:
npx react-native init foo

Then In foo/android I ran:
 ./gradlew clean bundleRelease -PreactNativeArchitectures=x86

I would expect it to create a .aab file that only contains x86 architecture, but it seems it always has all the architecture ABIs? Looking inside the .aab file it has all the folders:

Also if I run ./gradlew clean bundleRelease
I get the exact same size .aab file with the exact same folder structure, again with all architectures included.
Is -PreactNativeArchitectures bugged or am I using it wrong? How do I only create one architecture for a release bundle and how do I know it's working? Currently -PreactNativeArchitectures seems to be completely ignored.

A: Got an answer from Cortinico in Github: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/34902
Turns out ABI split are not supported by .aab files. One should build .apk file instead with:
./gradlew clean assembleRelease -PreactNativeArchitectures=x86

Also need to set the following to true in android/app/build.gradle
 def enableSeparateBuildPerCPUArchitecture = true

Königliche Bettler ist ein deutsches Stummfilmdrama aus dem Künstlermilieu. Gedreht wurde der Streifen 1917 von Richard Oswald.

Handlung
Die junge Eva, Tochter des wohlhabenden Fabrikanten Roche, hat sich in den Schriftsteller Ferdinand Paul verliebt. Dennoch entscheidet sie sich eines Tages für die Hochzeit mit dem angesehenen Bildhauer Franz Wandelt. Der jedoch liebt nichts in seinem Leben mehr als seine Kunst und vernachlässigt bald seine frisch angetraute Ehefrau.

Bald kommt das Unglück über nahezu sämtliche Beteiligte: Eva bekommt zwei Kinder, einen Sohn und eine Tochter, und stirbt bald darauf. Der Sohn wiederum ist, im Angesicht des begabten Franz, derart verzweifelt über seine eigene Talentlosigkeit, dass er freiwillig aus dem Leben scheidet. Evas Tochter Frieda hingegen verlässt den egozentrischen Vater und zieht zu dem Schriftsteller Paul. Von allen verlassen, bleibt Wandelt als "königlichem Bettler" nur noch die Kunst.

Produktionsnotizen
Der fünfaktige Film passierte im Juli 1917 die Filmzensur, erhielt Jugendverbot und wurde im darauf folgenden Monat im erstmals gezeigt. Er besaß fünf Akte und besaß eine Spieldauer von knapp einer Stunde auf 1609 Metern Filmlänge.

Königliche Bettler war der erste Film der sog. Richard-Oswald-Serie 1917/18.

Kritik

In Paimann's Filmlisten ist zu lesen: "Stoff recht gut. Spiel, Photos und Szenerie sehr gut. (Für feineres Publikum.)".

Waking up a zombie thread I know but seems like a good place to post. I just got a brand new k4.6 with my brand new Savage, and on mine, the low speed needle is not quite flush with the case. The bevel of the screw sticks out slightly. Should I be worried about this or do you think they have adjusted the factory settings a bit? so far I have just started the break in and the idle seems about right for a brand new engine.
I have a older savage ss. 25 is that the. 25 nitro star?
I think those instructions are rather universal for all the engines they have put in Savages. Mines the k4.6 though.
Turn it back to flush and never touch it again. Maybe toss some RTV on it to hold it in place.
Does anyone have the factory carb settings for a Kyosho KE21r? I bought it used and want to start tuning from factory settings.
Sweet. Thanks Jam! How do you measure the idle gap on the carb slide? Do they make a tool that fits down in the carb to measure it or what's the trick?
What are the factory needle settings for the LRP Z.28R ?
I assume you mean the Spec 3? If so, 3.75 turns out from tight. Look under "service" tab for the manual.
New to the forum. Ive acquired a savage with a old hot bodies 46 engine thats had little use. Ive disassembled the whole carb and engine clean everything good in my ultrasonic cleaner replaced some o rings and seal everything up good permatex. Does anybody know the factory settings on carb? Almost ready to fire this pig up.
I ll have to see what specs are but don't forget to seal up the carb while its sitting there, it will eliminate a lot of headache later.
Hot Bodies .26 Powerhouse if I remember correctly , this is the same, if anybody else has input, great.
HSN - 3.5 Turns from fully closed.
LSN - 3.5 Turns from fully closed.
Hi to all the members, I'm a returning customer to the world of nitro cars again. After been with helicopters & large scale cars... I recently got hold of a Force.18 engine for my HPI Bullet & for the love of this hobby I can't find the factory settings or the optimal carb settings. Could anyone help me out here as I want to pass this car on to my first born (10yrs old) as he wants to get into this hobby & I think this a great model to start with.
