Steam Greenlight Landfill: 8BitBoy
Upon looking at 8BitBoy, I never really expected something original or unique. Yeah sure, it uses 8 bit authenticity as an excuse to save on the graphics budget but I figure it should be hard to screw up Super Mario Bros that badly, so I decided to get it anyway since at the time, it was on sale for about 99 cents. It turns out that I really overestimated the inappropriately named Awesomeblade's ability to create a decent game. 8BitBoy is 8BitGarbage that holds far more in common with the shovelware by LJN titles than any of the classics.
It is a shame to seeing as how, on the surface, 8BitBoy looks like it could have been kind of fun. It has open levels with hidden secrets and multiple ways to traverse, some moderately catchy music, and nice aesthetics for its levels. Sure, the graphics are overly simplistic and our main character looks like a potato, and sure the blocks look EXACTLY like Super Mario Bros, but this should mean that the gameplay is the same to right? Surely they couldn't have fucked THAT up. Unfortunately, this all falls apart the moment one starts to actually play the game.
You will not reach this level… I didn't either.
What completely kills 8BitBoy right away are its controls, specifically the way your unnamed protagonist handles. Your movement is unbearably stiff and slow, and your character carries way too much inertia. You will often find yourself dying repeatedly on jumps that one would have cleared in an instant in something like Super Mario Bros. Oftentimes; your character's distance carried by inertia may be even greater than the distance traveled from actual controller inputs.
Doing simple things like hopping on top of a single block to climb a vine took way longer than it should have due to this game's awful controls, and this is made even worse when one considers levels have a time limit. These two elements of design greatly contradict each other. The levels are clearly made with the intent to be explored, but the time limit shows that they intend for you to rush through as fast as possible. Of course even with that, exploration would be nigh impossible without repeatedly dying.
Honestly, there is very little I can say about 8BitBoy aside from harping on its controls. It looked like it could have been good from first glance, and looking at footage would make it look fun. The controls, however, kill this entirely. I figure I should mention that I tried playing this with both a keyboard AND a gamepad and had the same results. In fact, it felt even worse playing it with a gamepad.
This certainly makes me miss playing Super Mario Bros 3 that's for sure.
Yes one can argue that "oh you'll get used to it," but that is a very cheap argument. Human beings naturally tend to adapt to something as a means of overcoming something; IE something that will only happen if you force yourself to complete this game. Games are supposed to be fun though, and if you're trying to force yourself to complete something then that's a bad sign. Also it's clear that the developers must not have played it either, otherwise they would have fixed this control scheme.
Of course, even without the controls, it just becomes obvious that this game is trying to flat out leech off of nostalgia. Everything from the opening story being about a normal adult man stuck in a dead end job remembering his childhood game console and being sucked into the game Cheetahmen style (a plot which is never mentioned again in the game so it's clear that they just meant to get gamers nostalgic for the days of old), to the fact that our main character arbitrarily has a hat but no neck just reeks of unoriginality.
I will disclose that, compared to most of the games I reviewed, I played relatively little of 8BitBoy. It is not simply because I got tired of playing it, but more so because I found the game to be outright unplayable. If it was just a mediocre platformer I would have played this one to the end, but this game is just terrible and I cannot imagine anyone playing through an entire game like this and finding any part of it fun, and if games like this were part of one's childhood, then your parents must have hated you.

Pete Davison says:
Not only is it garbage (apparently, I haven't played it, but I will defer to your judgement on this one!) but it is also inaccurately titled. Those graphics are clearly more (bad) 16-bit era than 8-bit. I wish people would learn the difference, because I am a complete fucking pedant when it comes to pixel art.
Annie Gallagher says:
Yeah, it is garbage, and I had a feeling it wasn't even 8-bit due to the wider array in colors. But yeah this game was atrocious. Between this and Ghostie Quest, it is really astounding how much these people fuck up a SMB1 clone. Despite the half assedness of both of them, I probably wouldn't have minded them if they had decent physics (okay Ghostie Quest still would have likely been crap given its horrendous level design, while 8BitBoy's would have been passable in a game like SMB1 or 3). There is also supposedly a Wii U port in development but it's pretty much vaporware at this point since the original was released in 2012 and the Wii U is dead.

DNA sequences, which hold the code of life for every living organism, can be represented by strings over 4 characters A, C, G, and T. Due to the advance in bio-technology, we already know the complete sequences for a number of living organisms, including human. The advance in sequencing also generated many sequencing data. We faced two problems. First, the dataset is too big. It is easily generate hundreds of billions of data per individual. Second, to do analysis, biologists require tools that can locate the positions of an arbitrary pattern over a long DNA sequence efficiently. However, genomic data is long. It is time consuming to search a parttern by linearly scan the DNA sequence.
To resolve the issue of hugh amount of data, we can use compression techniques. To resolve the pattern searching problem, we can use data-structure. Now, we need to resolve two issues at the same time.
In this project, we aim to create indexing data-structure that is compressed. There ae a few subproblems.
Constructing compressed suffix array efficiently and space-efficiently: For pattern matching, the most useful data-structures are suffix tree and suffix array. They enable fast pattern matching. The only issue is that they are very big. Due to the works of Grossi, Vitter, Ferragina and Manzini, we can have full-text index whose size is as small as n Hk + o(n) bits. However, when the text is long, it is not possible to construct them space-efficiently. This project is aimed to create some fast algorithms for constructing BWT, FM-index or compressed suffix array. We proposed a method that runs in O(n) time and uses O(n) bits space. Later, based on the success, we gave a practically fast solution. Using our techniques, we can construct the suffix array for the whole human genome in less than 1 hour in a Personal Computer.
Efficient algorithm for searching patterns allowing errors: Due to sequencing errors and mutations, the reads generated by the sequencing machine do not exactly match the reference human genome. Hence, when we perform pattern matching, we need to allow mismatches/errors. In this project, we developed a number of different techniques for efficient pattern matching.
Applying compressed data-structure in next generation seqeuncing: Based on the results of the first two sub-projects, we applied these algorithms for next generation sequencing analysis. We developed two general aligners BatMis (Bioinformatics 2012) and BatAlign (NAR 2015). We also developed a method BatMeth (Genome Biology 2012) for aligning bisulfite reads.

One sign of an improving economy is that voluntary separations from employment increase. As unemployment rate drops, workers feel more confident that they can find work, so they leave current jobs. The result is increasing turnover for businesses, requiring employers to spend more effort on both recruiting and retaining workers.
Turnover costs are high. The Society for Human Resource Management estimates it costs $3,341 to hire a new employee. For some high-skilled workers, the costs of recruiting a replacement may be as high as two years' salary. Turnover costs not only include the cost of recruiting new workers but also training and orientation. It also includes the cost of lost business because new workers don't know how to provide good customer service or accidentally break equipment or products.
Voluntary turnover is on the rise in Idaho as labor markets continue to tighten. Unemployment rates in Idaho edged down from the high levels seen in 2010 and 2011 to low levels. Idaho's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in October was 4 percent, considerably lower than the 5.8 percent average for rates from 1978 through 2007.
All but two counties currently have seasonally adjusted unemployment rates below their average from 1978 to 2007. Although most still have rates higher than in the three years before the recession, remember those were extremely low rates by historic standards and the product of an overheating economy.
More evidence of tighter markets is the increase in job openings and decrease in job applicants. In the first half of 2015, employers listed 70,104 positions with the Idaho Department of Labor, up 20.4 percent from the first half of 2014. In the same period, the number of job applicants registered with the department fell 15.6 percent from 180,122 to 152,075. Job applicants peaked at 254,863 in the first half of 2010, and job openings have more than tripled from 20,464 in the same period.
Idaho employers are using many different tools to address rising turnover.
Assessing the job market: Labor shortages affect some occupations more than others, so employers must become aware of labor market conditions for workers with the skills they require. Then, they can polish their recruitment and retention practices to fill jobs with the best talent.
Changing skills expectations: During the recession and its immediate aftermath, existing employees were unlikely to quit. There were plenty of highly qualified job applicants. Employers became accustomed to having high expectations. They were able to hire new workers who didn't require any job training. Now, the job market has changed and employers are re-examining job requirements — which skills an employee must have from day one on the job and what skills can be gained through employer-provided training — and are dusting off job training programs.
Pay and benefits: Many employers are assessing pay and benefits to determine if they need to increase pay or add benefits. The Idaho Department of Labor offers information about occupational wages in various parts of the state on its labor market information website (http://lmi.idaho.gov).
Others are moving to pay-for-performance systems, where workers who do the best job receive pay raises.
Career development: Many employers may focus too much on monetary issues and forget high potential employees also leave because of inadequate opportunities for promotion and dissatisfaction with company management. Showing employees there are career ladders can go a long way to making them believe they have future at the company.
One way to keep the best workers motivated is giving them opportunities to learn — whether it's college or vendor classes, internal training or a strong mentor. Supervisors, coaches and mentors who don't make employees feel valued may be why employees may be walking out the door.
One size doesn't fit all: Supervisors who know employees well should have insights into what each one needs to feel motivated. For some individuals, it's mostly about money. For others, it may be a need for more flexible hours so they can handle family issues. Millennials — the generation born between 1983 and 1999 — tend to want more face time with a manager and continuous feedback. Employers who offer these workers more attention will be more likely to retain and keep them motivated.
Analyzing data: Larger companies are using "big data" to learn what kinds of workers fit in best at their organizations and are likely to stay. They also analyze a vast array of data points — job tenure, geography, performance reviews, employee surveys, communication patterns and behavior tests — to determine when someone is likely to leave a post. This should give managers early warning so they can take action before employees jump ship. Micron Technology Inc. — the Boise-based semiconductor and Idaho's largest manufacturer — uses data in its attempts to reduce turnover among first-year employees. According to a March 14, 2015, Wall Street Journal article, Micron found workers were more likely to leave if they felt their job hadn't been accurately described when they were hired, so the company is trying to create clearer job descriptions. Data also showed people who relocated for a job were more likely to leave. Analyzing data also helps employers improve the on-boarding process. They learn the best ways to orient, train and motivate new workers.
Contracting out: As Idaho's labor market tightens, some employers contract out services they offered in house, so they don't have to deal with issues of hiring and training workers. More businesses say they are also using temporary help agencies to fill positions. Between the first half of 2011 and the first half of 2012, the number of workers at temporary employment agencies in Idaho grew 10.5 percent from 8,378 to 9,258.

Ads that appeared on 6Jul2011 in Hindustan Times, Mumbai edition. Is there some message here that investors should pick up?
I've played around with the sizes, but the ADAG one was a half page ad while the RIL one was full page albeit a bit inside the paper. Don't know what the ads were supposed to bolster, but they sure did not stop Morgan Stanley from (finally!) downgrading RIL stock's target price to 956 from 1206. Just about around the same time that the ads came out.

The book I ordered was a gift and was in perfect shape. I also used the customer service and was very surprised how quickly they responded to my email. I would definitely order from Prepbooks again.
DESCRIPTION: In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room--to the picture of the three little bears sitting in chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one--he says goodnight.. In this classic of modern children's literature, beloved by generations of readers and listeners, the quiet poetry of the words and the gentle, lulling illustrations combine to make a perfect book for the end of the day.


If there's one thing I am more than grateful for, it's that hunger is something my children think about only when they haven't taken a snack to soccer practice. We're complacent about food, so I was astonished to discover that, according to USDA and Census Bureau data, more children go hungry in this country than there are people in Pennsylvania.
This weekend, coaches from the UVA athletics department and others will be teaming up with the hunger relief organization Save Our Strength to host the first-of-its-kind "Taste of the Game" to help alleviate some of Charlottesville's hunger problem. Like its sister benefit event "Taste of the Nation" in which local restaurants and chefs get together to raise money for hunger relief programs, Taste of the Game brings colleges and coaches into the effort to help kids get the food they need to stay healthy and succeed in classrooms as well as on the playing field.
Twelve coaches and sports professionals are joining forces in this one-day total sports event to offer aspiring young athletes and their parents a leg up on the game. In a series of hour-long sessions designed for youth ages 8–14, kids can work on game fundamentals, technique, and strategy with folks like baseball coach Dennis Womack and men's soccer coach Craig Reynolds. Other sports include swimming, softball, women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's lacrosse, tennis, and field hockey.
Parents can get involved in sessions such as sports photography, where they can learn how to take better action shots of their kids from the pros at the Daily Progress and Channel 29. Local sportscasters Mac McDonald, Steven Trout, and Andrew Yoyner will lead a behind-the-scenes multi-media tour of sports reporting. Sessions in sports psychology, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and sports medicine are also on the roster. Olympic swimming medal winner and UVA senior Ed Moses will also be on hand as the special guest for the day.
It's a credit to our community that UVA was selected as the prototype school to host the kickoff of a national series that includes Duke, Notre Dame, and Stanford University.
"UVA is recognized as having a top-notch sports program, and Charlottesville has a reputation for supporting this kind of benefit effort," says Virginia Harris Peale, public relations director for Yves Delorme. Peale's company, along with Rugged Wearhouse, Whole Foods, and other local businesses, is sponsoring the event so the local hunger relief programs of the Thomas Jefferson Area Food Bank and MACAA will receive 100 percent of the proceeds of the event.
Taste of the Game takes place May 5 from 12:30 to 6pm with a family picnic at 5pm. The afternoon starts off at Memorial Gym with registration; from there participants will be directed to the various venues. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the UVA Athletic Department ticket office, Greenberry's at Barracks Road Shopping Center, Downtown Athletic at Seminole Square, Yves Delorme on the Downtown Mall, or online at www.strength.org. For more information, call 296-FOOD.

Palm Coast dad always wanted to be 'GI Joe'
AUDREY PARENTE, Staff writer
Mar 31, 2009 at 12:01 AM Aug 15, 2012 at 12:00 PM
An occasional series featuring stories of military men and women far from home and their loved ones here. Today, we speak with Army National Guard Sgt. Joseph Buccini, 26, a utility systems technician for Palm Coast's Utility Department. He was deployed to Iraq in October 2008.
Q: What is your job in Iraq?
My job in Iraq was to be the decontamination specialist; however, when I arrived in Baghdad my commander told me I would be working in operations -- which I know nothing about. But I have done and will continue to do my best. I must be doing a good job, though. I never hear any complaints and I'm the NCOIC (noncommissioned officer in charge) of operations and have three soldiers under me now -- all of whom are great soldiers and do the jobs I assign them to do without hesitation. I have two 25U's (signal system support specialists) and one 52D (generator mechanic).
Q: What's going on where you are?
I was instructed not to say too much about what goes on here, but I can say we have had no major incidents and we remain safe, although we do get a few mortars flying our way from time to time. They kind of just shoot over the wall and hope they hit us.
Q: What do you feel you are accomplishing?
I feel that I can accomplish any mission they throw my way, to include my job as operations NCOIC. I can and will keep my unit readiness at the highest level I can possibly get it.
Q: Why did you join the military?
I joined the military in 2002 -- for the simple reason that I always wanted to be a GI Joe. But aside from that, I always felt that, if you live in a country such as ours, you should be willing to defend yourself, friends, and all the freedoms we have. I have done training all over the United States to include Hokkaido, Japan, to Support operations North Wind.
Q: Who do you have back here in Ormond Beach, and what do you want to say to them?
The thing I want people to know about the most is the support we get here from companies and people back in the states. My city alone has supported me in full; they have given me the utmost respect and support throughout my deployment. Though I still have four or five months to go, I feel as though they will remain at my side throughout these trying times for me. And to my family, I love them so much and miss them with all my heart.
Q: You will be coming home for a brief leave of rest and relaxation soon. What are you looking forward to most?
My 3-year-old-son Jayden and beautiful wife, Kristen, who has been with me from the very beginning of my military career and stuck by me through thick and thin. To her family, I love you all just as much. And my family in Maryland has been just as supportive and loving.

On a scorching summer day in Vero Beach, Florida, Judyth Piazza shuffles down the street with grocery bags in her arms. It`s a good day for an interview, she thinks, as she heads into her studio. Piazza is the founder of The Student Operated Press, a cutting edge news organization that provides novice writers, student journalists, amateur broadcasters and unpublished authors the opportunity to showcase their talents while practicing ethical journalism and broadcasting in a professional environment online.
The SOP, as it is affectionately called, gathers writers, mentors and broadcasters from all over the world who work together to foster operational and business models needed in the 21st Century. Piazza also hosts her own radio program, The American Perspective which is a ground breaking radio program that is full of inspiration and information. It`s intended to help people succeed in life.
Each week the American Perspective features celebrity guests from around the nation. With her soothing voice, she has the ability to get anyone to talk, and she interviews a wide variety of people on the show, big and small.
How did she break into the super competitive online journalism business? "I used to write for another online publication, thecollegepress.com where I met college student, Daren Copely. Daren`s vision was very similar to my vision and as I helped him with his paper it motivated me to start my own. Not only was I writing for The college press while I was in college in my mid 30`s, I was writing for The Calder Gazette and that is where I met Bruce Calder who noticed something in me that no one else did, Bruce helped me to develop my craft as well as teach me the ins and outs of online news and Internet technology. We worked well together so I asked him to build The SOP for me and work with me as my mentor."
With a zero budget Piazza had to work odd jobs as well as use some of her student loans to get The SOP off the ground and make her dream a reality. College kids nowadays could definitely learn a thing or two from her ambition.
Piazza`s dedication to journalism has been tempered by the worst storms. Whenever there is a hurricane raging through Florida, she stands by her post to report storm and traffic updates. "Hurricane Girl" is a popular nickname for this dazzling diva on the Treasure Coast.
With talent like this, she could probably host her own TV show. "Well, I did TV for a bit...I was a news anchor for the local TV station, WWCI TV 10. It wasn`t a big station but I got a lot of face time whereas the news looped throughout the day."
Stations like Fox and MSNBC compete for attention by presenting strong opinions and seeming like they have an agenda. Piazza does not do that with her radio show. She will interview anybody, whether they`re liberal or conservative, famous or not, because she feels that everyone has a story to tell and everyone deserves a voice. When she interviews someone she simply asks them what they are all about and what they`re doing with their lives. No loaded questions from her. What does she think of the extremely biased news stations? "Well, what people have to understand is that politics plays a huge role in a show as well as a network`s agenda. If the advertisers for a station are more liberal minded, then they are going to make sure that the station presents more liberal minded points of view and programming. The same thing happens with more conservative minded stations."
What was her first interview? "My first interview ever was with Robin Meade. She`s is the host of CNN`s Robin and Company, which airs Monday thru Friday 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and I was thrilled because she gave me a chance when I wasn`t sure if anyone would. In the beginning I tried interviewing as many journalists as I could."
What have been some of her best interviews? "I interviewed Yolanda King, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.`s daughter, shortly before she died. I was one of the last people to interview her. Maya Angelou was another great interview. I`m actually compiling my best interviews into a book right now. It has about 20 of the top interviews that I`ve conducted over the years. I think we have done over 5,000 by now."
What does she think about people not reading books as much nowadays? "I think reading definitely is important, and people not doing it as much shows that we`re becoming a very shallow society."
Who does she look up to the most? "I really like Oprah because she started her career at an AM radio station and made it big. In fact, I`ve been called the Italian American Oprah."
Who are her mentors? "A lot of my mentors happen to be people I work with on a regular basis. One of them is Djelloul Marbrook. We like to call him Del. He`s been in the journalism world for over 50 years and the author of several books. Marbrook is also the recipient of the 2007 Kent State University`s Stan and Tom Wick First Book Prize in poetry."
Any other mentors? "Robert Paul Reyes is another rock that I lean on. He`s my right hand man and main editor at the SOP. He has a special ability to draw in readers like I`ve never seen before in any other writer. He`s a great mentor when it comes to finding an audience. Robert`s writing has been mentioned in 11 books over the last several years."
Who else has been helpful over the years? "Hip-hop record labels like Platinum Ice Records and numerous Hip-hop pioneers such as AB Money, Grand Master Herc, Frank Lucas, Jr., and the P-Funk All Stars were very supportive. They`re so ambitious and full of entrepreneurial minds. When I was trying to get everything started, they supported me the most by allowing me to interview them and play their music on my program and I`m very thankful for their help!"
Is there any bias against her because she is a female journalist? "There isn`t really any bias against me, but I do get hate mail from time to time because I`m an editor for a lot of publications. Film reviews tend to draw in hate mail because everyone has a different opinion when it comes to movie reviews, politics, religion and the weather."
Does she have any regrets as a journalist? "Not really, I mean the only regrets I have are that my resources are limited. It is hard for me to compete with large publications with unlimited resources but we hold our own and we are ranked in the top 52,000 most popular websites worldwide and the top 10,000 in the US. There are so many people who work with me that I never have a chance to meet in person. I`d love to visit them all one day. A lot people that got their start at The SOP have moved on to some fabulous network jobs at some very well known programs and popular networks and I`m proud of all of them. It makes me feel good."
Judyth Piazza will continue to introduce young people and old alike to the field of journalism and online media and broadcasting. She can be heard regularly on The American Perspective radio show, which can be found at www.thesop.org and as part of The SOP Radio Network.

Sporting Scene
The Dickey Pitch
By Roger Angell
R. A. Dickey's second consecutive one-hitter for the Mets last night—a 5-0 blanking of the Orioles, which came on the heels of his 9-1 win last Wednesday against the Rays—was a feat unmatched in the National League in sixty-eight years. Only ten other pitchers since 1900 have ever done such a thing, which makes Dickey's rows of ohs more rare than the two perfect games already produced in major-league play this year. He's been numbing, no less, and watching him in action, or sort of—he's a knuckleballer—you feel some of the game's lost silences falling around you. He works quickly and with increasing effect, and enemy batters, heading back to their dugout after another feeble infield bouncer or another strikeout, look like folks anxious to forget today's Dow. His 11-1 won-lost record to date, his 2.00 earned-run average, and his hundred and three strikeouts are all the best in his league, and—to switch to an ancient, vintnerish measurement of pitching quality—his combined sixty-seven hits and twenty-one walks surrendered come out a country mile below his ninety-nine innings pitched.
That skimpy walks total is close to inexplicable. Knuckleballers prop the ball on their fingertips before launching, and its frozen, spinless aspect as it approaches the plate abruptly shifts to a veer or sail at the last moment, in a direction mysterious to batter and pitcher alike. With knuckleballers, high counts, foul balls, walks, and hours proliferate, while action and interest sag. Describing the phenomenon, Phil Niekro, the Hall of Fame knuckleballer, once said to me, "For me, it's hunt and peck all year long." But Dickey now apparently has control of his knuckleball not only within the strike zone but, amazingly, within sectors of it; its little dart reminds you of a running back making his first move beyond the line of scrimmage. No one has yet explained the fresh technique or the meaning of all this, and Dickey isn't saying anything, either. "I'm gonna leave it to you guys to explain it," he said in the clubhouse last night.
Dickey, whose full beard and peaceable appearance suggest a retired up-country hunting dog, is thirty-seven years old, with ten years and three prior big-league teams behind him, and hard work has brought him to this Shangri-La, perhaps only briefly. He'll hope for another visit on Sunday, against the Yankees. Watching him, if you've ever played ball, you may find yourself remembering the exact moment in your early teens when you were first able to see a fraction of movement in a ball you'd flung, and sensed a magical kinship with the ball and what you'd just done together. This is where Dickey is right now, and for him the horrendous din of the game and its perpetual, distracting flow of replay and statistics and expertise and P.R. and money and expectation and fatigue have perhaps dimmed, leaving him still in touch with the elegant and, for now, perfectly recallable and repeatable movements of his body and shoulders and the feel of the thing on his fingertips.
Roger Angell, a senior editor and a staff writer, has contributed to The New Yorker since 1944, and became a fiction editor in 1956. He is the author of "Late Innings."

Nestled amongst trees at Mary Crescent Reserve in Eden Hill is a brand new playground (Feb 2019). It is a small, but lovely nature playground that features a fun flying fox! The play area has been designed for kids of all ages, with equipment that appeals to primary school aged kids, as well as little ones.
What all kids will go running to is the flying foxes, perfect for racing friends! One of the flying foxes has a "chair" for younger children and those less physically able.
Be sure to take along a bucket and spade for a little sand play in the huge sandpit, which also has a large soft fall frog peeking out of!
Little chef liked monkeying around on the climbing ropes.
The playground also has a nature play element, with a wooden tree trunk obstacle course, with logs to balance on and stepping logs too.
A nest swing easily fits a couple of kids, to swing away, whilst looking up at the trees.
And no playground would be complete without a swing set! Here there's a regular swing as well as a baby swing seat.
If you have any little Wildcats fans, take along a basketball to play a game on the half basketball court.
Large, mature tree shades some of the equipment. There is also a shaded seating area, water fountain and BBQ facilities next to the playground, making it a good spot for a small gathering or birthday party.
There is a large grassed area too, with plenty of space to run around or kick a ball. The original metal play equipment is also still at the park, as well as a small metal flying fox.
We didn't get too close to these as some of the trees nearby had be hives in. Luckily, they were clearly signed.
Head to the new Mary Crescent Reserve for some flying fox fun and a picnic under a big gum tree!

Selecting for the right attorney is like selecting your best physician. Attorneys concentrate into the specific type of cases like what the doctors do. It is best to define first what is the nature of the case about and right there, you can find the lawyer who can b able to help you to address your needs. Though there are some attorneys that practices general law, there are also those lawyers who practices on the specific areas like the taxation, labor relations, real estate, and family law and many more.


Looking for a Family-friendly restaurant/izakaya for dinner time?
Well, This is my new favourite Izakaya introduced to be by the famous Blogger in Tokyo @thetokyochapter.
The restaurant's interior is minimal, chic and futuristic.
Kick off your shoes, relax and make yourself comfortable, that's Kichiri style. The tables are all floor level but the place where you put your legs (below the knee) is cut out – so your body is still making a "sitting in chair" shape.
Some of the highlight's from our dinner one week ago…….it ended up being a wine and cheese night :)) I loved the food here. Small dishes deliciously prepared and well presented.
Deep Fried corn – The best dish!
If you order Guacamole and chips, the dish is made in front of you to order, and to your taste plus you get to choose your own avocado.
To finish of our wine and cheese night we called for 'Chocolate Fondant Cake' – It was soon good!!
Overall, I would say its an above average Izakaya with good ambiance and plenty of room for larger parties. Good for groups in a pinch.

Conisch wil zeggen geleidelijk toenemend in diameter (in tegenstelling tot cilindrisch), kegelvormig.

In een differentieel van een auto zitten bijvoorbeeld conische tandwielen, die ervoor zorgen dat een auto makkelijk door een bocht kan rijden.

Ook zijn er conische lagers die zijwaartse druk kunnen opvangen.

Ook knelkoppelingen, die gebruikt worden bij waterleidingen en leidingen voor de centrale verwarming, zijn tweezijdig conisch, waardoor ze bij aandraaien goed afsluiten.

Over the years, consumers seem to have grown used to the Thanksgiving Day openings, even if they still have a distaste for the practice. More than half (55%) of Americans surveyed by RichRelevance, a tech company that services more than 200 retailers, said they are "annoyed" or "very annoyed" when stores stay open on Thanksgiving, down from 65% in 2014.
The advancing holiday promotional schedule has been a double-edged sword for retailers that want the sales without irritating shoppers. Now, there's new evidence to suggest that consumers are becoming less annoyed by the practice.
U.S. consumers are still bothered by Christmas Creep, but less so with each passing year. Roughly 63 percent are annoyed or very annoyed when holiday goods appear in stores before Halloween, down from 71 percent in 2014, according to a new survey by RichRelevance.
Although most Americans are still irritated to see holiday items appear in the store alongside Halloween goodies and don't like stores being open on Thanksgiving, attitudes are beginning to change.
That's according to RichRelevance's third-annual Holiday Shopping Survey, which finds that 63% of consumers are annoyed or very annoyed when holiday items appear in the store before Halloween – down from 71% in 2014. In addition, 55% are annoyed or very annoyed when stores open on Thanksgiving Day, down from 65% in 2014.
Looks like Thanksgiving shopping, Christmas Creep are here to stay.
The legions of Americans who hope to save Thanksgiving from the crassness and commercialism of the rest of the holiday shopping season appear to be losing the battle. A new survey shows that more Americans are becoming cool with the fact that stores are open for business with huge holiday sales and promotions on Thanksgiving Day.
San Francisco, CA — September 19, 2016 — With more than $626 billion in holiday sales at stake, retailers are changing the way they sell during the holiday season – for example, stocking the shelves with holiday merchandise in early Fall and opening their doors on Thanksgiving Day. But these practices raise key questions about what shoppers want, what rubs them the wrong way, how traditional shopping days like Black Friday are evolving, and what retailers like REI gain (or lose) when they reject the trend.
Although most Americans are still irritated to see holiday items appear in the store alongside Halloween goodies, attitudes are changing.
Six out of 10 Americans (63%) are annoyed or very annoyed when holiday items appear in the store before Halloween – down from 71% in 2014.
Over half of Americans surveyed (55%) are annoyed or very annoyed when stores open on Thanksgiving Day – down from 65% in 2014.
Many Americans are shopping early: more than 1 in 4 Americans (27%) had already started their holiday shopping by Labor Day.
7 in 10 Americans (73%) said these retailers' decisions made them like the retailers more.
Over half (53%) said they are more likely to shop with retailers who remain closed on Thanksgiving Day.
A comparable amount (48%) stated they are more likely to shop with REI as a result of their decision.
Black Friday has traditionally marked the beginning of the holiday shopping season, but consumer sentiments and shopping patterns are changing.
Only 1 in 10 (11%) Americans feel Black Friday has grown in importance, while 4 in 10 (42%) state Black Friday is less important than it was 5 years ago.
6 out of 10 Americans (58%) state that special deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday do not impact their shopping behavior.
However, Cyber Monday is gaining ground with 1 in 3 (33%) of Americans saying Cyber Monday is more important than it was 5 years ago.
The coveted Millennial shopper (age 18- 29) behaves differently than other generations.
Younger Millennial shoppers are more tolerant of Christmas Creep. Early holiday merchandise only bothers half of these shoppers (51% vs. 63% of overall respondents).
Millennials are also more responsive to deals. 6 out of 10 (60%) say that special deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday encourage them to shop.
This digital generation loves Cyber Monday: more than half (52%) think it is more important than it was 5 years ago.
This is the third-annual Holiday Shopping survey conducted by RichRelevance to understand consumer shopping patterns and behaviors. The survey of 1,054 U.S. shoppers was conducted in August 2016. Responses were gathered online over a 2-week period.
Clearly, some retailers are taking no chances this holiday season. However, their efforts might be counterproductive. "What consumers bristle about is feeling like it's shoved down their throat," says Kit Yarrow, a retail industry consultant.

Q: How to create A-Z listing I'm using Eclipse, with CodeIgniter. I'm trying to create an A-Z search page grouped by letters of the alphabet like this one, but I can't do it with CodeIgniter.
Model:
public function listarLojas() {
    $this->db->order_by("nome_loja", "ASC");
    return $this->db->get("lojas")->result_array();
}

Controller:
$dados['lojas'] = $this->lojas_model->listarLojas();

View:
(Here is my problem, I can not make the foreach appear as in the example link: https://www.cuponomia.com.br/desconto)
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/vMjLNz
HTML:

Our main stores in alphabetical order

        1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y X Z

            A

 Test

    <?php
      include 'buscar_lojas.php';
    ?>

CSS:
body {
  background-color: #a3d5d3;
}

A: You need to give anchor tag to the letters which will link to the id of the container it needs to point.

        1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y X Z

Then assign the id to each column according to the letters.

        A

 Test

Hope this might answer your question.

A: Try like this
$lastChar = '';
foreach ($dados['lojas'] as $row){
    $char2 = str_split($row->name);
    $char = $char2[0];
    if ($char !== $lastChar) {
        if(empty($last_char)){
            $skill_data .= '

'.strtoupper($char).'

';
        }
        $lastChar = $char;
    }
    $skill_data .= '
'.$row->name.'
';
}

This will look like this

A

Absolut Leather

A Esportiva

   ...

B

B2 Smile

Barceló Hotels & Resorts

....

Assume $row->name is the category name getting from an array of objects

Ukraine: how to make best use of the ceasefire?
2014/09/07 - 10:33 • Archive
Even though there is every indication that the ceasefire has already been broken and that Vladimir Putin has no intention of living up to its promise of a move toward peace, Ukrainians are confronted with the challenge of considering how best to use the time it may give them to strengthen Ukraine and prepare for Putin's next move.
Ukraine's LIGA BiznesInform news agency asked six individuals closely involved with or monitoring the situation exactly that question given the fact that few doubt that this ceasefire like so many others will be shaky and temporary.
Boris Filatov, deputy governor of Dnepropetrovsk Oblast, says that Ukraine must dig in and re-arm, and "immediately carry out reforms" in the military. Moreover, Ukrainian officials must explain to the insurgents that "Russia does not intend to feed them or invest money in their territories." Only Ukraine is ready to do that.
Further, he says, Ukraine's regions must ensure that EU money comes to and through them rather than through Kyiv so that corrupt elements in the Ukrainian capital won't be able to divert it.
In short, he says, Ukraine "has to proceed along the path of Chechnya in the Donbas" because "there is no other way out." It must give amnesties and work down "de-separatization" just as Moscow did in Chechnya a decade ago. Ukraine must not deal with "military criminals, but for the preservation of territorial integrity, it is necessary to be able to show the local population the benefits of remaining within Ukraine."
Andreas Umland, a German political analyst resident in Kyiv, says that it is possible the ceasefire will last a long time. During that period, he suggests, Ukraine must focus on documenting exactly what has happened and who is to blame because far too many people in Russia and the West think that what has occurred is a civil war rather than a Russian invasion.
Vadim Grib, a conflict specialist, says that the ceasefire is "without a doubt a positive step," something that "became possible thanks to the heroic efforts of our army and self-defense fighters plus the active support of the main world leaders and our people."
Putin obviously ordered his agents in Ukraine to agree, Grib continues, "but I would not consider this a final agreement because for that to occur, it must be with Putin and not with his puppets." That may not happen anytime soon because Putin is "hardly satisfied" by President Petro Poroshenko's plan.
"Therefore," Grib says, he "considers this ceasefire as an unqualified victory for [Ukrainian] diplomacy" given that it the document said nothing about the two things Putin cares most about: the seizure of Crimea and the expansion of NATO.
Now is the time to talk, he continues, because "at present, [Kyiv] has some quite serious cards in its hand and Putin undoubtedly understands this." Ukraine's focus must be "not to surrender the Donbas and allow Putin to preserve his face before his voters." In saying that, one isn't talking about peace, of course.
The back and forth is "only beginning," Grib says, and Ukraine must proceed in a way that its losses so far are "not in vain" and that "the entire world will draw a corresponding lesson having reviewed its approach to international security and the defense of countries from the actions of aggressors."
Taras Berezovets, a political analyst, says the ceasefire was "a difficult but necessary decision," but what is important is "not to fall under the power of illusions." There won't be a permanent ceasefire, the militants and Russian forces will continue to attack, and pro-Moscow forces inside Ukraine will continue their "terror against 'enemies of the people.'"
Ukraine, he says, must use any time it has to reform its armed forces, use aid from NATO, and prepare for partisan war throughout Ukraine. Russia isn't going to live up to the ceasefire, but Ukraine can play for time by denying the obvious even while it prepares to resist it, Berezovets says.
Such "'a ceasefire,'" he suggests, "could last for months. But during that period, "Putin will not pull his forces out of the Donbas. It is possible they will become fewer. But they will remain," and that is something Ukraine has to focus on.
Yury Butusov, a journalist, says that Ukraine must use the ceasefire to reform its government administration, reducing bureaucracy by 20 to 40 percent and "prepare the army for war by taking into account the mistakes and experience" of recent days. It must strengthen itself because "the weaker and slower we will be [in that regard], the sooner the ceasefire will end."
He stresses that Kyiv must not just focus on the east but on the entire country. "There need not be any special Donbas reforms. There must be reforms in Ukraine as a whole."
And Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to Ukraine's interior minister, says that Ukraine "must arm themselves and create a powerful army and security system" by spending "a minimum of one-sixth and better one-fifth" of its budget on defense and security. The Interior Ministry must be "transformed into a law enforcement rather than punitive organ."
He concludes by suggesting that the length of the ceasefire will depend on how willing Kyiv is to go along with what Putin wants. If it does, "then the ceasefire will be a long one. If not, then again there will be provocations and the seizure of our territory."

Rihanna And Travis Scott Reportedly Dated Briefly Before He Got With Kylie Jenner
By Shauntv News
Celebrity journalist Lawrence Schlossman recently recalled upsetting Travis Scott for outing his relationship with Rihanna.
According to Us Weekly, Scott and Rihanna were briefly involved with one another during the years 2015 and 2016. The short relationship was discussed during an episode of Schlossman and James Harris' podcast, Throwing Fits. The podcast discussed Schlossman's time as an editor at Complex, which led to the story of the former couple.
While reflecting on some of his past issues with celebs, he shared the time Scott became upset with him. During an interview Schlossman had with Scott for the publication's December 2015/January 2016 issue, the "Sicko Mode" rapper gushed about the Fenty Beauty CEO. He referred to her as his "muse" several times and praised her for her creativity on multiple occasions. At some point in the two-hour conversation, Schlossman said Scott asked him not to name Rihanna as the woman he was speaking about.
In the podcast, Schlossman admitted that the decision to publish Scott had long-term effects. He also said that it was Rihanna's camp that was more concerned about the relationship getting out than Scott's.
"I broke the news about him and Rihanna, which they told me not to do," Schlossman said. "Apparently, what [Complex editor Joe] LaPuma, our boy Joe The Puma, told me was that it hurt Complex's relationship with Travis. This was in 2015/16 I wrote this. But apparently, for the next couple of years, he would complain about that. It's not because he's like, 'Don't tell anyone I'm smashing Rihanna.' It's because Rihanna's like, 'Don't tell anyone that I'm smashing Travis Scott, please." [It's] obviously embarrassing as f*ck."
While Schlossman was the first to out their alleged romance, Scott and Rihanna hinted that they were together several months prior. The two had been friends since meeting at the Opening Ceremony runway show at New York Fashion Week back in 2013. After appearing together on Rihanna's track "B*tch Better Have My Money," they were seen together at multiple outings, which escalated rumors that they were more than friends. Although neither of them ever admitted they were together, Scott and Rihanna reportedly broke off their fling toward the end of 2016.
One year after their alleged split, Scott moved on to Kylie Jenner. The pair made their first public appearance at Coachella back in 2017. After being together for a few months, the couple welcomed their daughter, Stormi Webster, in February 2018. Jenner and Scott called it quits in November 2019.
As for Rihanna, the multitalented star went on to date Saudi Arabian billionaire Hassan Jameel. They reportedly decided to end their relationship in January.

It's "football" season in Europe, too
Posted by honsat on 9 Oct 2019
Daniel Hernandez – Mustangs Ahead
(LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL) – International football, or "soccer" as it is called in the US , is globally booming. The best of it takes place in Europe and numerous Mustangs are paying close attention.
Every year in professional European football there is a tournament that takes place from Sept. until May called the Union of European Football Association's Champions League.
Mustang Nico Colacci is a fan of international "football."
LRHS senior Lucas Villegas follows the Champions League yearly and has always been impressed by it.
"I think the Champions League is the best club tournament you can participate in," Villegas said. "The Champions League is where the best teams from Europe are and where the best players are."
The Champions League gets plenty of viewers every single year. The final game of the tournament generates global audiences between 112 million and 200 million viewers during live match broadcasts.
LRHS senior Nico Colacci has played soccer his whole life and he currently plays for Clearwater Chargers as a development academy player. He has been following the Champion's League for a long time.
"I think the Champions League has influenced European football over the years by making the leagues more competitive," said Colacci. "This year I believe that Barcelona will take home the Champions League and be named the best team in Europe."
Soccer has never been the number one sport in the US but lately its popularity has been growing tremendously catching up to top US sports such as basketball and football.
