First Drive: 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt
By Dan Heyman
As I sit writing this, I can still hear them. Not figuratively, not "in my mind's ear" hear them. I can literally hear them: a brace of Dark Highland Green (and one or two Shadow Black) 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitts, active-valve performance exhausts blaring as they make their way through the hills and valleys in and around Golden Gate State Park in Northern San Francisco, CA.
You can't very well star in your own version of the Bullitt car chase if you're not banging home your own gears, right? Right.
That exhaust – which also gets a "quiet mode" – is a big part of the Bullitt experience; Ford wants this particular halo 'Stang to make an impression. It doesn't stop at those quad blacked-out exhaust tips either, and not only because they're hidden from view in profile by an extended rear valance.
"What was key to us, is we wanted a combination of interior/exterior, engine/powertrain, and chassis to really create a personality to the car," says Carl Widmann, Chief Program Engineer for Mustang. "We really wanted to give it that sense and look that it was a character." Indeed, when you're based on one of the stars of possibly the most well-known car chase ever – the 1968 Mustang fastback from Bullitt – you'd better been very aware of that "character" thing.
When it comes to the exterior, people will have no problem identifying the Bullitt as such. There's the overt stuff like the colour choices (Dark Highland Green and Shadow Black being your only choices) and red Brembo brake calipers with larger rotors, but now that we've seen it out from under auto show lights and in the wild, it's the details that really give the Bullitt its presence.
The model-exclusive chrome stripping around the side windows, grille, and wheel rims, for example. Or the new lower front valance and emblem-delete grille. The word "Bullitt", meanwhile, appears just once on the outside of the car: on the trunk lid's faux gas cap.
Inside, there are a few extra Bullitt logos (on the dash in front of the passenger, wheel, and kickplates), as well as black leather with contrasting green stitching as your only choice. And of course, there's that shifter – cue ball, it's called, and since it wouldn't look right atop an automatic shift lever, an automatic transmission ain't an option – just a six-speed manual with rev-matching. You can turn it off, but I rather like it. Huzzah for that.
Will Bullitt buyers miss the chance to select the 10-speed auto available on other 'Stangs? Doubt it. You can't very well star in your own version of the Bullitt car chase if you're not banging home your own gears, right? Right.
A 12-inch modifiable gauge cluster, blind spot warning system, B&O Play audio as well as Sync 3 infotainment are all standard. Options? A grand total of one: $1,800 gets you Recaro racing seats – with green "Recaro" badges! I sampled cars equipped with both seat types, and while the manual-adjust Recaros are nice and supportive, I think I'd just as soon save the $1,800 and keep the standard power seats.

Of course, all of this can be seen before you start it up. So let's get on with it, shall we?
Dip the clutch, depress the start/stop button and the engine starts with a grunt as the Shelby GT350-sourced intake manifold goes to work; the Bullitt also gets a larger 87 mm throttle body, as well as open-air induction. Horsepower is rated at 480 hp in the Bullitt, a 20 hp jump over the GT. Torque remains the same at 420 lb-ft, but thanks to new engine tuning, the horsepower curve rises all the way to redline, more torque arrives sooner and power delivery is less peaky.
"We knew the Bullitt needed the engine to go with it," says Widmann. "If we wouldn't have done the Bullitt, we wouldn't have done the engine. We needed the engine to create the character."
You've also gotta love the exhaust's report. Thanks to that open airbox, there's no longer the need to port sound into the cabin and what you do get is more all-encompassing.

At the outset of our drive, we could either go right or left; the drive routes we'd been provided said go left, but we noticed a tunnel to the right. Unless that tunnel bored its way to the centre of the earth, we could probably afford the quick detour. After all, there's no better way to really experience a car's exhaust note. Needless to say, we took the tunnel, and proceeded to be flabbergasted by an exhaust note so rich and beastly that I literally felt it in my chest.
It's hard to get much more surreal in a car than to go through a tunnel at almost full-chat, windows down – there's really nothing else going on in the world at that point, and we'd have done it again and again, if we'd had the time.
However, there were masses of bendy, twisty, gnarly roads surrounding us that required some attention as well. After all, the Bullitt starts life as a Mustang GT with the Performance Package, meaning the standard fitment of those brakes, performance suspension, and magnetic dampers. Which, in turn, means this is a car that should handle just as much as it scoots.
Through the undulating, steeply cambered and sometimes rough twists and turns of Highways 35 and 84 through the Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve, the Bullitt was a willing and able companion, as the quick turn-in helps hide the fact that there's a long hood and a lot of car in front of you. It doesn't have quite the nimbleness of, say, a BMW M4, but for a rear-wheel-drive pony car with a big V8 up front, it ain't half bad. Especially if you've set the steering to Sport mode, or the pre-set driving mode to Track mode which stiffens the steering further still.
I've driven many Mustangs over the years, and they've always expressed that little bit of cowl shake or chassis flex that is about two parts charming and one-part annoying; we see very little of that here. That, of course, isn't a Bullitt thing; it's a current Mustang thing, and Widman admits that this Bullitt has the advantage of a better base platform than the previous 2008 model.
As we transitioned to the city streets that made its name, the Bullitt was given a chance to showcase its day-to-day chops. Bounding down ultra-steep Taylor St. – the street on which one of the most famous scenes from the chase was shot – the Bullitt was surprising in its ability to reduce the effects of the various dips and lumps that I thought would surely rattle its cage. The return provided by the magnetic dampers literally has to be felt to be believed, as they constantly read the road below and change their rates depending on what's required. The steering remains a little heavy even in Normal mode, but as a specialized version of an already pretty special car, I think it's fair for it to request that kind of commitment from its driver. It's also a price I'd happily pay if that's what it takes for it to feel as good as it does on more open, flowing roads.
While worthy of discussion and impressive, all that's somewhat secondary to what the powertrain offers, the image it presents and how it makes you feel behind the wheel. Short of the tech offerings and the "quiet" exhaust setting, no quarter has been given, here, in an effort to try and "civilize" the Bullitt. There have been many great car chases through the years, but rarely has a manufacturer had the gall to centre a car around a car chase (and a man, in Steve McQueen) the way Ford has with the three Mustang Bullitt editions, and I have a hard time thinking of a rarer thing in the mass-market automotive world today.
As I drove down Taylor – yet again – and struck my best McQueen pose (look over your left shoulder as you back up, because you've missed the turn you were scripted/directed to take), I had an almost indescribable feeling of being transported to another era. It was 6 AM, any other cars on the early morning streets of foggy San Fran were parked, and I was there, driving a re-imagined movie car, on set, 50 years later. Not figuratively there. Not in my mind's eye there. Literally, there.

Q: Sci-Fi book about female pilot in the distant future who is a linguist and has to decipher an alien language/code This book I read in college, I think it was published between the 1970s to 1990s.
It's about a female pilot (I think her first name began with an R) in the distant future who is famous and is also known for being a linguist. She's recruited by the government/military to decipher an alien transmission/code they got from outer space.
It's set in the way distant future, transmogrification and extreme cosmetic surgery exists (like to resemble animals, have wings, etc.).  She recruits some of these persons to be in her flight crew to travel in space while researching the language. Along the way they meet a guy who can only say a certain word or something.
In the end I remember it being a major plot twist and the language was moreover like a programmable psychic code. She and the guy with few words figured it out and could communicate telepathically and I think they do some damage to the military.
I just really want to find this book because it was just so weird yet so amazing in its delivery, it reminds me little of Neuromancer or Ubik. I know for sure the title of the book is what they named the alien language/code the protagonist was researching.

A: This is probably Samuel Delany's Babel-17 (1966).  The hero is a linguist and captain named Rydra Wong, recruited by the military to decode an enemy language called Babel-17.

During an interstellar war one side develops a language, Babel-17, that can be used as a weapon. Learning it turns one into an unwilling traitor as it alters perception and thought. The change is made more dangerous by the language's seductive enhancement of other abilities. This is discovered by the beautiful star-ship captain, linguist, poet, and telepath Rydra Wong. She is recruited by her government to discover how the enemy are infiltrating and sabotaging strategic sites. Initially Babel-17 is thought to be a code used by enemy agents. Rydra realizes it is a language in and of itself, and furthermore that she has a traitor on the ship. Rydra later finds that she herself is becoming the traitor as she learns more about Babel-17. She is rescued, however, by her dedicated crew, who figure out the danger and neutralizes its effects.

A true survivor: Survivor's Rupert Boneham opens up about his battle with throat cancer
by: Bob Donaldson
SHELBYVILLE, Ind. — He is arguably the most beloved contestant on Survivor. Rupert Boneham is the Hoosier who gained fame on the reality show because of that tie-dye shirt, that beard and that voice.
Always that voice.
But the roar that made Rupert famous almost fell silent when he got a diagnosis that scared even the most fearless competitor.
"For a while, I was really terrified that I wouldn't be able to talk anymore," said Rupert.
Rupert was diagnosed with throat cancer, more specifically, cancer on his vocal cords. He had to come to grips with the fact that he might lose his ability to even speak, much less shout.
It was a potentially devastating blow for someone renowned for toughness.
"What drove me to the doctor, my throat was getting so bad I could barely talk. I had resigned myself never to be able to roar… the guy who could talk and you know, be rough."
Two successful surgeries later, Rupert has regained not only that roar but a new perspective on, yes, surviving.
"Made me understand how really important it has always been for me to create something that helps others," said Rupert.
Rupert's health crisis has re-dedicated his years of work in Shelbyville. Through his non-profit, Rupert's Kids, he has built a residential re-entry center for non-violent offenders in the criminal justice system. It's part of his life-long mission as a mentor to those trying to turn their lives around.
"Yeah, I really loved Survivor. I really loved being Rupert from Survivor, but I really loved being Rupert the Mentor," said Boneham.
Rupert has plans to expand the 12 bed center for men and build a new one for women in Shelby County. He admits beating cancer gave him something no reality show ever could: the right to call himself a true survivor.
"Having my mortality shown to me, and smacked in the face with it, shows me I don't have an unlimited amount of time. I used to believe I'm going to be here forever! I am honestly thankful that I have a voice."

The Profound Shittiness of ALS: Today's Guide to Ignoring the NFL
Filed to:counterprogramming
This week the Washington Post's Rick Maese published a harrowing, fairly devastating account of the recent hardships of former NFL fullback Kevin Turner, a leading plaintiff in the NFL concussion lawsuit, who is locked in a desperate battle with late-stage ALS.
Among the excruciating details of Turner's daily struggle to survive—seriously, it's horrible; the poor guy's body is completely abandoning him—is the sobering statistic that NFL players are about four to eight times more likely to develop the neurodegenerative disease ALS (known as Lou Gehrig's disease) than members of the general public. ALS generally sets in between ages 50 and 60; Turner was diagnosed as a 41-year-old. His case is not unique among NFL players:
Former Ravens linebacker O.J. Brigance was 37 when he received the diagnosis. Former Raiders running back Steve Smith was 37. Ex-Saints safety Steve Gleason was 33. Former Vikings safety Orlando Thomas was 31. (He died last month at the age of 42.)
"Unfortunately, there will be more that come out in the next couple of years," Turner says. "I hope not, but I believe it will."
You should read the whole thing right away, but this passage in particular really drives home the profound shittiness of Turner's situation:
It's like ALS stole the levers that control everything above the waist — hands, arms, head — so Turner must rely on a communication system that is complex and constantly evolving. In addition to mouthing words, blinking eyes and tapping feet, Turner has a large posterboard with the alphabet spelled out. Someone holds it while he points to letters with his foot, spelling out his requests and needs.
Against one wall is a computer monitor, just a few sizes bigger than an iPad. The Tobii eye-tracker allows Turner to type, surf the Web, even check Facebook without using his hands. He instead focuses his eyes on the keyboard in front of him, moving his gaze from letter to letter, as the words slowly emerge.
"I'm a little slow right now," the machine's automated voice says.
In response to a question about how he's feeling, Turner's eyes and the computer's voice respond: "Hangin' in there like a hair in a biscuit."
Yeesh.
This potential consequence of the game isn't very well understood and is pretty far removed from America's consciousness. Turner has offered his brain for study on the impact concussions may have had on the onset of ALS. Let's hope the guy has some happy times left before he makes that particular contribution.
12:55 p.m. — beIN Sports — La Liga Soccer: Elche vs Málaga
Elche are the worst side in La Liga, and Málaga are going to pound the bejesus out of them.
1:30 p.m. — ESPN3 — Women's College Basketball: Texas A&M (4) vs Texas (3)
Heavyweights! A clash of the titans! Probably!
2 p.m. — ESPN3 — Men's College Basketball: Maryland (17) @ Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State sits in first place in the Big 12 at 9-1. This should be a test for both teams.
2:55 p.m. — beIN Sports Español — La Liga Soccer: Athletic vs Atlético Madrid
Atlético are now 6 points back of Real Madrid and Barcelona at the top of the table. They'll keep pace with full points today, but their hopes of winning the league are probably dashed.
2:55 p.m. — beIN Sports — Serie A Soccer: Inter Milan vs Lazio
Inter have scratched their way to a positive goal differential, but their defense is leaky and they'll have a tough time scraping any points out of this one.
3 p.m. — ESPN2 — Women's College Basketball: Kentucky (8) @ Duke (13)
Women's college basketball is as good a reason as any to root for a humiliating home defeat for the Blue Devils.
4:30 p.m. — NBA League Pass — NBA Basketball: Grizzlies @ Cavaliers
The Cavs are scuttling a bit of late, losing three of four before a tight home win over the woeful Nets Friday night. The Grizzlies dropped a home game to the Bulls last time after ringing up six straight wins, and will be looking to avoid losing consecutive games for just the second time this season. This should be tight and competitive, with a sneaky-fun Mike Conley/Kyrie Irving point-guard matchup.
6 p.m. — NBA TV — NBA Basketball: Pistons @ Nets
Woof. The NBA needs flex scheduling, and now. How the hell is this dog the one nationally televised game of the day? The Pistons are garbage, and the Nets are the most dismally boring team to watch in the entire NBA.
6 p.m. — NBA League Pass — NBA Basketball: Suns @ Wizards
This one should be fun as hell. Goran Dragic vs John Wall! The Wizards have the NBA's second best home record (13-2), while the Suns are desperately clinging to the back of a playoff picture that is already, already turning up the heat on the middle of the Western pack.
7 p.m. — NBA League Pass — NBA Basketball: Pelicans @ Thunder
If Kevin Durant plays, this becomes must-watch television. Durant, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook are perhaps three of the five most gifted players in basketball, and the Pelicans and Thunder currently both sit outside the West's top eight. The Pelicans laid an egg at home last night against Portland and look more and more like a team that will need a significant roster shake-up in order to vault upward from the middle of the Western Conference.
TV Reruns
1:12 p.m. — TV Land — Roseanne
A few hours of good-ass comedy to carry you through the early afternoon NFL schedule.
4 p.m. — FXX — The Simpsons
Episodes include "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire," "Bart's Dog Gets an F," "Dog of Death," and then a bunch of crap.
5 p.m. — TV Land — Golden Girls
The usual Sunday evening mini-marathon that replaced The Cosby Show on TV Land's schedule.
Noon — TNT — The Wizard of Oz
I'm one of those people who once watched this movie with the sound off and Dark Side of the Moon timed to play over it. What did I learn? Teenagers are dipshits.
12:15 p.m. — AMC — White Christmas
The longest two-hour movie you will ever watch. It has Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas," but then it also has Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen singing "Sisters," which is exactly like someone ramming an oyster fork directly into your temporal lobe.
1:30 p.m. — BBC America — Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
What a bonehead sack of crap Sybok is. Screw Sybok.
1:45 p.m. — IFC — Caddyshack
I submit the Bishop's thunderstorm round is one of the five or so greatest sequences in comedy movie history.
2:15 p.m. — Sundance — 12 Monkeys
How the hell did they do that thing to Brad Pitt's eyes in this movie? They gave homeboy some serious googly eyes. I'm not totally comfortable with that dark science.
4 p.m. — BBC America — Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Playing Chang has got to be the low point of Christopher Plummer's career, but however much that part of the script blows (and oh how it blows), the part where Spock just flat-out ruins Kim Cattrall's shit with the epic mind-meld is great. Maximum mind-meldage.
4 p.m. — IFC — Heat
Welp, I know what I'll be watching at 4 p.m.
4:30 p.m. — SYFY — 30 Days of Night
It just never really happened for Josh Hartnett. This movie is probably as close as he came to acting well in a respectable flick.
5 p.m. — USA — Forrest Gump
It's sort of Robert Zemeckis's thing to make these big, bloated, overwrought flicks that ultimately have, like, two grown-up, thoughtful, memorable scenes. So much of Forrest Gump is heavy-handed sentimental junk.
5:30 p.m. — FX — Looper
Not a particularly memorable movie, but smart, well-made, and engrossing.
6:30 p.m. — BBC America — Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Part of BBC America's day-long Star Trek marathon.
7 p.m. — LOGO TV — Aliens
"GAME OVER, MAN! GAME OVER!"
7 p.m. — VH-1 Classic — The Blues Brothers
Dan Aykroyd's real-life craziness is kind of a bummer and can make watching his best stuff a little disorienting.
7:30 p.m. — abc Family — Home Alone
Home Alone is like two movies, crammed into one. The first is a totally likable story of an adorable little kid who sings to himself and is afraid of the furnace, trying to survive alone in a big house for a few days around Christmas. The second is a horrible mean-spirited pile of shit story in which all humans are awful, including a little kid who gives the pizza guy a 20 cent tip and then chases him off with the threat of violence before engaging in some kind of ugly home-defender's wet dream sequence. I'm pretty sure every kid who sees Home Alone is completely intolerable for the following 18 months.
8 p.m. — FX — Prometheus
Ha ha, science fiction nerds, Prometheus is awesome, and you only hate it because of your feeble imagination! I laugh at you! Ha ha!
9 p.m. — Spike — Training Day
It's a wildly uneven movie, but it has some seriously cool sequences, and hot damn is Denzel Washington spectacular.
9 p.m. — BBC America — Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Surely this is the best of the odd-numbered Star Trek movies.
Merry Christmas, jerks.

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 4, 2007) - Cambridge Resources Corporation (PINKSHEETS: CBRP) (FRANKFURT: M3F) provided an update today on the acquisition of American Pride Energy Inc.
Cambridge Resources Corporation will acquire 100% of America Pride Energy Inc. for 110,000,000 restricted common shares, whereby the total issued and outstanding common shares of the company on a fully diluted basis will be 180,000,000 common shares.
The company plans to enter into a definitive agreement by January 10, 2007 and close the acquisition by or before January 17, 2007.
American Pride Energy Inc. is an oil and gas junior producer located in Kansas City where its properties have estimated 5,000,000 barrels in recoverable reserves once the required financing concluded; the company expects production to grow to 182,500 barrels of oil per year and 219,000 MCF of gas per year. The company projects to generate approximately USD $40 million in Revenue and USD $32 million in Profit within the next 5 years.
Cambridge Resources Corporation also announced yesterday that it had rescinded the transaction with Basics Minerals and will not close the acquisition of Lesser Slave Lake Exploration Inc. and or Peace West due to allege irregularities with the description of the Janvier property as well as the use of funds. Furthermore, the company announced that Sylvain Amyot will remain President and sole Director of the corporation until the closing of the acquisition of American Pride Energy Inc. and that Stan Ford and David Shaw had not been legally appointed and do not serve on the board of directors of the corporation nor as officers and therefore the press release of December 12, 2006, December 5, 2006, November 22, 2006 and November 1, 2006 are and were erroneous. It is important to note that neither Stan Ford and or David Shaw and or shareholders of Basics Minerals, Peace West, and Lesser Slave Lake are shareholders of Cambridge Resources Corporation.
Although the company rescinded the transaction with Basics Minerals, Peace West Energy and Lesser Slave Lake Exploration, it remains open to pursue future acquisition in the oil sands and shallow gas properties as it is the company's objective to grow by the development of its existing properties (American Pride Energy) and to acquire additional properties that will yield significant shareholder value.
Cambridge Resources Corporation is a publicly traded Oil & Gas company, which seeks to acquire North American Oil and Gas producing properties.

It is relatively straight forward to insulate or upgrade modern properties to improve their energy ratings. However, older traditional or system built properties tend to suffer the most from heat loss.The Government has now identified this as a major obstacle to meeting CO2 reduction targets referring to them as 'Hard to Heat and Hard to Treat' buildings.
Work is carried out from inside which whilst involving making good and some decoration means that the heat loss into the fabric of the main structure is limited. It also avoids the need for external drilling of stone built properties or the need to alter the structure around doors and windows when overcladding.
A series of holes is drilled through the internal wall finish and the foam is injected into the void providing both insulation and an air barrier, making its performance far greater especially where narrow cavities only permit a small amount of material to be installed.
A complete and full fill is achieved by carefully monitoring the curing of the water blown foam through the holes, with excess material being scraped off where necessary. The foam cures within 4-6 minutes with any odour given off during the installation dispersing within 24 hours or so. There will be no subsequent fumes or gases emitted making the product completely safe.
eco Insulate Ltd is an approved contractor and the spray or injection treatment is carried out on site with materials being processed on the spraying rig and transferred to the building surfaces by hose to the very point of application. Our spray teams meet stringent application criteria and have completed an intensive training programme which includes product and equipment knowledge, installation and building science.


Happiness. We all pretty much have the same dictionary definition of the word. But each of us has a different definition for what actually makes us happy because every individual has a specific recipe that defines their own happiness.
If I were to make my own list of things every happy woman should have it would look completely different than this one but it was still fun. I really wish I could just do the entirety of life like this. Sign me up for all the numbered/fill-in-the-blank type lists because I quite like them. Although next time I'd prefer to fill in questions like "A place to live", "A method of incoming money" and "Somewhere to vacation" with answers like "A mansion in Malibu", "Megamillions lottery winnings" and "Australia to see all the Platypussies". You know, things that hold a little more monetary value than a song on a dusty old jukebox.
But speaking of songs. I think it's about time I linked up with Whitsticle and backed my azz up since I haven't done so in quite some time. So this week I'm going to go with a song I've been obsessed with for way too long because it seems to relate a lot to my post from Wednesday about always wanting what I don't have.
"Let Her Go" by Passenger.
His voice is just about as comforting as a mug of spiked hot chocolate in the month of December so this song wins all the awards today. And Friday wins all the awards for getting here much quicker than I had anticipated. Cheers to hoping Monday doesn't rear it's ugly head just as quick.


Dead Cells is a game that at first glance might seem like a typical indie platformer. It might seem like a normal run and jump, kill the enemies in front of you to get to the boss sort of game. Even if someone were to tell you that it was a Metroidvania roguelike game, you might think it's just another standard example of a game in an increasingly crowded market. However, just a few minutes with Dead Cells completely removes those thoughts from your mind. Dead Cells quickly becomes a game that you want to do one more run in, only to find you've already spent a couple of hours playing the game. Dead Cells isn't just a good game, it may be one the best examples of its genre.
Dead Cells originally released in Early Access on PC in May 2017. After more than a year of the title being worked on in Early Access, Dead Cells has made its way onto consoles. Dead Cells is a unique game to explain. It is a Metroidvania roguelike game. Like most roguelike games, you control a character through procedurally generated dungeon crawling levels. If you fail to complete the game and die, that's it for that character. What Dead Cells then does is combine that style of gameplay with a Metroidvania. A Metroidvania is a game with a large, interconnected world that limits you, the player, from getting around to different areas, requiring you to find certain upgrades in order to advance. Dead Cells combines these two game styles together to create a highly addictive gaming experience. In Dead Cells, you play as a nameless, undead hero who must escape from the prison he finds himself in. That's pretty much all there is to know about the game's story, which is great, in my opinion, because of how fun the game is to play.
What makes Dead Cells so much fun to play is its fast, fluid gameplay. Each time you begin your run, you have to choose a starter weapon and a secondary weapon. From there your goal is to survive and make it to the end. The game presents you with many different monsters and ghouls that want to kill you, and they will do so fairly easily. It only took me a few hits from enemies to die on my first go around. Like most games, it takes a few minutes to get used to your character's movement in Dead Cells, but once you do….the game becomes too much fun to put down. I found myself having a real blast jumping, diving, rolling, and flying through areas of the game. Just moving the character was fun. Dead Cells also excels in getting you hooked in that roguelike gameplay style. Throughout the game as you progress, you find Cells, gold and sometimes even weapons and blueprints. You then can use these to improve your character's abilities, which is absolutely necessary to beat the game.
Blueprints are especially important as you will need these to build much better weapons. I personally like that it isn't too hard to find blueprints in the game. Blueprints seem to get dropped fairly regularly, making me feel like I accomplished at least something in my current run before I died. That gameplay loop is really another area that Dead Cells excels at. Despite having many runs where I didn't last long, it always felt like the game rewarded me for playing by dropping blueprints. I actually felt like I was moving forward in my progression, despite the fact that I kept dying to the same enemies. This brings up another excellent area that Dead Cells excels at, your own choices. Despite some insanely hard boss battles, I never truly felt like I kept dying because the game hated me. I always felt like it was my fault, whether it was because I went after too many enemies and got killed, or because I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. My deaths were my own fault. That also meant that beating enemies and bosses felt more satisfying because it felt like I had learned how to beat them. This can be a difficult thing to accomplish in most games, making the player feel like their choices actually affected their run. Dead Cells completely nails this.
All that said, Dead Cells runs into a common problem that a lot of roguelike games fall into. After playing the game for many hours, it all starts to feel like a lot more of the same. Many of the levels feel very repetitious, and at times it feels like only a supposedly new area is mainly just a color swap of an older area. There were a number of instances when I really felt like I had played this part of the game…many times. While the gameplay is excellent and weapon/blueprint pickups are common, it just feels like not too much in the game changes once you've played the first couple of hours. Don't get me wrong, Dead Cells is an amazing game and one you absolutely should play. I just can't help but wonder if a little more time could have been spent changing up the levels later on in the game.
Dead Cells is one of the best roguelike games to come out in years, from its fantastic, fast, fluid gameplay, addictive gameplay loop, and gameplay that feels like the player's choices decide their outcome, Dead Cells excels at creating a game you won't want to put down. While the game will feel a bit repetitive at certain points, especially in long play sessions, Dead Cells is a game you absolutely can't afford to miss.

Ossietzky ist eine in Berlin erscheinende antimilitaristische, pazifistische "Zweiwochenschrift für Politik / Kultur / Wirtschaft". Die Zeitschrift ist nach Carl von Ossietzky benannt. Sie ist über spezialisierte Buchhandlungen oder im Abonnement erhältlich. Die Auflage pro Ausgabe beträgt ca. 2000 Exemplare.

1997 vom Journalisten Eckart Spoo (1936–2016) gegründet, der bis 2013 auch als verantwortlicher Redakteur fungierte, wird Ossietzky von Matthias Biskupek, Rainer Butenschön, Daniela Dahn, Rolf Gössner, Ulla Jelpke und Otto Köhler herausgegeben. Spoo war neben seiner Nachfolgerin Katrin Kusche weiter Mitglied der Redaktion. Daniela Dahn, Ralph Hartmann, Dietrich Kittner, Monika Köhler, Lothar Kusche, Otto Meyer, Jürgen Rose, Peter Turrini, Gerhard Zwerenz und Ingrid Zwerenz sind bzw. waren ständige Mitarbeiter.

Sie lehnt sich inhaltlich und in ihrer Aufmachung eng an das Vorbild Die Weltbühne aus der Weimarer Republik an. Als die Herausgeber im September 1997 das Erscheinen der Zeitschrift ankündigten, wurde sogar davon ausgegangen, dass das Blatt den Namen Weltbühne tragen würde. Nach Angaben Spoos hatte der frühere Herausgeber und Chefredakteur der bis 1993 in Ost-Berlin erschienenen Weltbühne, Helmut Reinhardt, den Ossietzky-Herausgebern zugesichert, dass er die Titelrechte an dem Namen besitze und sie dem neuen Projekt überlassen würde. Nachdem die Neugründung der Weltbühne angekündigt worden war, erhoben mehrere Seiten rechtliche Einwände gegen die Titelnutzung, u. a. Peter Jacobsohn, der in den USA lebende Sohn des Weltbühne-Begründers Siegfried Jacobsohn. Die Herausgeber verzichteten darauf, sich in juristische Auseinandersetzungen einzulassen, und änderten den Namen der Zeitschrift in Ossietzky.

Zunächst erschien die Zeitschrift in Hannover, wo heute noch der Verlag Ossietzky seinen Sitz hat; im Jahr 2000 wurde der Sitz der Redaktion nach Berlin verlegt. Die Zeitschrift ist eine Kooperationspartnerin des Internetportals Linksnet.

It seems I must have missed the mail where you addressed the specific incident that has your hackles raised and instead have to try and piece together what you are talking about from generalities in your mail. From your inferences it seems you believe the W3C referenced some OASIS draft in a way that violates OASIS's IP. A cursory glance at the XPointer specs doesn't show any reference to an OASIS work in their various bibliographies.
Do you mind specifically pointing out what W3C recommendation or draft you have a problem with?

PHTA President & CEO Sabeena Hickman Elected to National Drowning Prevention Alliance Board
(Alexandria, Va.) – The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) is pleased to announce that its president and CEO, Sabeena Hickman, CAE, has been elected to the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) Board of Directors.
NDPA's mission statement is, "United, we can prevent the tragedy of drowning." Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children ages 1–4, and number two for children up to age 14. NDPA says, "Not one more drowning." It works closely with families who have lost loved ones to advocate for safer aquatic practices and provides a wide range of resources on drowning prevention.
Hickman joins seven other outstanding individuals on the NDPA Board of Directors who work in different parts of the pool industry, healthcare, and emergency services. Together, this group is committed to expanding and promoting NDPA's lifesaving work.
Hickman was selected in part due to her work in expanding the Step Into Swim initiative and her belief that those working in the pool and hot tub industry should take a lead in drowning prevention efforts.
"As an alliance, we want to make sure that all facets of the pool and hot tub industry are included in the discussions about water safety," explains Dr. Adam Katchmarchi, Executive Director, NDPA. "There is a close connection between NDPA and PHTA and what we're both trying to achieve with water safety. We are pleased to have Hickman's voice on our board to represent the industry. Also, on an individual level, Hickman's nonprofit and association management experience will be incredibly valuable to our organization."
"I am honored to serve on the NDPA Board of Directors," says Hickman. "Drowning prevention should be top of mind for everyone in the pool and hot tub industry. We have a commitment to not just manufacture, build, or service pools and hot tubs, but to educate the public on using them safely. We can all play a role in preventing drownings and saving lives."
To learn more about NDPA, visit ndpa.org.
For more information, please contact Janay Rickwalder, PHTA's Vice President of Marketing and Communications, at jrickwalder@phta.org or 703.357.3918.
About the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance
The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA), a non-profit organization with nearly 3,500 members from around the world, was established in 1956 to support, promote, and protect the common interests of the $36.5B pool, hot tub and spa industry. PHTA provides education, advocacy, standards development, research, and market growth to increase our members' professionalism, knowledge and profitability.

Total Aquatic Programming & NDPA Join Together To Improve The Collection Of Drowning Data
People and organizations in the drowning prevention and water safety space are well aware of the limitation of drowning statistics. Drowning data is not universally collected or classified mainly due the sheer nature of drowning which makes counting on reliable data extremely difficult. Few organizations have taken on the task to gather and distribute data pertaining to drowning and Total Aquatics Programming LLC is currently one of the most well known, respected and reliable sources.
Total Aquatic Programming and National Drowning Prevention Alliance Board of Directors have joined together to improve the "The Drowning Report" data.
TAP has been collecting drowning data since 2008. This process involves about 1100-man hours per year plus cost for programs and support. They have recently faced the following challenges which have impelled them to rethink and reconsider the process in order to be more effective:
Some of the thousands of websites visited to gather report data have now started charging subscription fees. While these are only .99 cents a week, they add up over the period of a year.
Due to the number of sites consulted to gather information and download reports, TAP has been exposed (multiple times) to viruses and have had to move to enterprise grade protection.
TAP users have requested many features that the organization was not able to offer before and is currently preparing to do: possibility of custom reports, online searchability features, ease of access and more.
It is time for TAP LLC to update the way they not only collect but also present the data gathered. This has a cost that they cannot totally absorb, and after talking to many users it is too important to just lose! They are nearly ready to move to a subscription-based model with an cost of $99.95 per year that will offer subscribers all the information they are used to plus:
Report filtering options
Custom reports (emailed on a customer set schedule)
Ability to submit drownings (requires approval)
Online and accessible 24/7 – no more waiting for the first of the month
Enhanced field logic
Alert notifications (new drownings in your area)
Much, Much More!
The new membership model will become effective by June 2021 with May 2021 featuring the last free version of drowning reports. NDPA premium members & all partners will be able to access the new database through their existing NDPA membership.
We hope this is a valuable service that you will continue to use. The new features will also allow members to more easily extract local data and customize reports.
Sign up is coming soon so be on the lookout!

10 New Year Resolutions That Will Make You A Water Safety Warrior
Education and knowledge is the key for everything and definitely something we should focus on in 2021.
According to the CDC, an average of 10 fatal drowning incidents happen in the USA every day and is the leading cause of unintentional injury deaths for children 1-4 years, the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths for children 1-14 years, and is the fifth leading cause of unintentional injury deaths for all ages in the United States. The WHO has reported that drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, accounting for 7% of all injury-related deaths.
This makes drowning a very serious issue that should be addressed throughout the year in order to avoid and prevent fatal and non-fatal drowning incidents. The beginning of a new year is the best time to plan exactly how we can do this in the form of water safety resolutions.
Here are ten to get you started:
1.- Implement layers of protection at home
The term "layers of protection" is one used to classify the majority of strategies directly affecting aquatic environments. Parents, caregivers, residential pool owners, aquatic facility owners, managers and operators should use "layers of protection" to provide a system of increased security to prevent unauthorized access to bodies of water, especially important for children. This means that multiple strategies or devices are used constantly and simultaneously.
Learn more about how to implement them here.
2.- Practice water safety at home
Never leave your child alone in the bathtub—even for a moment. Many bathtub drownings happen (even in a few inches of water) when a parent leaves a small child alone or with another young child. Also, bath seats are just bathing aids. Bath seats can tip over and your child can slip out of them, so they won't prevent drowning.
Empty water from containers, such as large pails and 5-gallon buckets, immediately after use.
Keep bathroom doors closed. Install door knob covers or a hook-and-eye latch or other lock that is out of the reach of your small child.
Keep toilets closed. Always close the toilet lid, and consider using a toilet lid latch.
Find more ways to be water safe at home in our blog post Home Water Safety Tips.
3.- Teach your children about water safety
Families have always played a vital role in teaching kids how important it is to learn to swim and behave safely in and around the water. If your child isn't able to take formal swim lessons right now, you can still help them learn to be safer around backyard pools, ponds or other natural bodies of water.
These are some great resources to help you get started.
4.- Actively support the NDPA to promote water safety and drowning prevention all year long.
The mission of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance is to reduce the incidence of drowning and aquatic injuries in the US and abroad. United, we can reach our goal of 0 drownings.
Whether you join or support the alliance in other ways, you can empower your communities to take more action, touch more lives, and make an even greater difference. Check out 5 Ways You Can Support The NDPA for more ideas.
5.- Promote water safety and ways to prevent drowning in your community.
Find information, actions and resources to get your community involved in water safety advocacy efforts whether they be in person or online at the NDPA Resource Center.
6.- Enroll your children in swimming lessons.
Swim skills add a layer of protection to prevent drowning incidents. Formal swimming lessons reduce the risk of drowning among children 1-4 years by 88%. This is the only sport that can actually save lives and can also reduce the risk of drowning among older individuals.
Learn more about Swimming Lessons As A Layer Of Protection To Prevent Drownings.
7.- Learn CPR with rescue breaths. Compression-only CPR does not treat drowning.
Anyone who lives in a home with a pool should learn CPR and rescue breathing. CPR training and certification should be refreshed every one to two years, depending upon the certification agency, or more frequently if there have been recent changes in recommendations.
Along with learning CPR, there are other layers of protection that you should learn which are intended to minimize injury should a child gain access to the water and are meant to be used immediately in the event of such an emergency.
8.- Invest in a life vest for each member of the family.
A properly fit life jacket is a very effective life-saving strategy in the quest to reduce the number of fatal drowning incidents in the country. Learn more about it here.
9.- Register for the 2021 National Water Safety Conference
The conference is a great fit for anyone involved in child safety advocacy, injury prevention, safety education, water safety, drowning prevention, first response, public health, public policy, aquatics, and many more areas!
This year the #NWSC2021 will be offered from March 29 to April 1, 2021 in a virtual format. It will include a range of different activities including hosted virtual networking sessions, live general sessions and keynote addresses, interactive sessions, pre-recorded breakout educational sessions, and so much more. The best part of a virtual conference – no travel, hotel, and expenditure costs. Get ALL the education from the comfort of home!
10.- Join the NDPA Water Safety Warriors Group!
The NDPA has the goal of bringing everyone who has a vested interest in drowning prevention and water safety together. This way, we can provide education and resources to prevent drowning and aquatic injury by making water safer to enjoy.
By providing this space to connect to each other, access to the most current information, and share resources to help be more effective in our efforts, we are sure can reach our goal to end accidental drownings!

Though their stories were different, the end result was undeniably the same: drowning is preventable. These shattered families forged a union that would create one singular, shared vision for the future. Stronger together than apart. Today, that group is 60 families strong. And sadly, growing.

The Zac Foundation Announces Three New Appointments To Its Board Of Directors
Diversity in Aquatics CEO Miriam Lynch, Communications and Engagement Director Danielle Veira, and Strategist and Social Innovator Michael Golden Join Board Of National Water Safety Nonprofit
GREENWICH, CT – September 16, 2020 – The ZAC Foundation, a national nonprofit dedicated to improving water safety by funding advocacy, education, and effective programming to safeguard children and their families, today announced the appointment of three new Board members: Diversity in Aquatics CEO Miriam Lynch, communications and engagement director Danielle Veira, and strategist and social innovator Michael Golden. The appointments are effective immediately.
"We are pleased to welcome Miriam, Danielle and Michael to our Board, and look forward to having their invaluable perspectives and leadership," said Karen Cohn, co-founder of The ZAC Foundation, which has provided water safety programming to more than 20,000 children in at-risk communities nationwide and is spearheading the development of drowning prevention plans in four U.S. communities in the hopes of reducing the national drowning rate. "Each of them will serve a key role as we continue our work to prepare children and their families for a lifetime of water safety."
Lynch is an advocate for increasing aquatic opportunities and water safety education to all. She collaborates with several aquatic organizations to raise awareness, create community partnerships, and develop solutions to reduce the "drowning gap." As the CEO of Diversity in Aquatics, Lynch, along with a team of volunteers, works to educate, promote, and support swimming, water safety, and healthy aquatic activities in traditionally underrepresented populations.
"I am excited to join the Board of The ZAC Foundation, which is committed to creating equitable opportunities in aquatics by increasing access to swim lessons and water safety education for children and families in communities that have been impacted by historical and social barriers," said Lynch.
Veira is the director of communications and engagement at A Better Chicago, a nonprofit venture philanthropy fund fighting poverty by investing in opportunities for Black and Latinx low-income youth. She leads the organization's strategic communications, digital marketing, and thought leadership efforts. Prior to moving to Chicago, Veira spent more than a decade in Washington, DC working in nonprofit communications, most recently as the senior manager of public relations and advocacy communications at the American Diabetes Association.
"It is an honor to be appointed to the Board of The ZAC Foundation," said Veira. "I have been inspired and impressed by the Foundation's work for years and lucky enough to see the impact ZAC Camps make firsthand. Children who look like me face a variety of disparities whether it's access to health care, quality education or water safety training. As a child of the Caribbean and a lover of swimming myself, I am thrilled to have this opportunity to work alongside my fellow Board members to further the Foundation's outstanding work to eradicate systemic inequities related to water safety and drowning prevention."
A social entrepreneur, former award-winning journalist, campaign strategist and political reformer, Golden is president of Golden Mean Strategies in Chicago. He has dedicated the bulk of his career to launching social enterprises that create opportunity in underserved communities. In 2006, he co-founded One Million Degrees, a breakthrough scholarship support program that has empowered more than 1,800 low-income community college students to succeed in school, work and life.
"Joining the Board of The ZAC Foundation is more than an honor for me — it is personal. I loved Zachary, and the entire Cohn family is like my own family. I am tremendously proud and in awe of what they have built in Zach's name: a huge-hearted water safety organization that works to save lives in every corner of this country. It will be a genuine thrill to contribute to their mission as a new member of the Board of Directors," said Golden.
About The ZAC Foundation
The ZAC Foundation was established in 2008 by Karen and Brian Cohn after the loss of their 6-year-old son Zachary Archer Cohn in a pool drain entrapment in their backyard swimming pool. Through education and advocacy, the Foundation has educated more than 20,000 children and their families on the importance of water safety and is dedicated to continue preparing more for a lifetime of water safety.

New PSA From Abbey's HOPE Offers Chilling, Timely Reminder
The water safety non-profit reminds parents and caregivers to avoid distracted supervision around pools.
MINNEAPOLIS—There's a perfect storm of circumstances conspiring against adults' ability to keep kids safe around pools and lakes this summer. Electronic devices continue to dominate our attention. And the COVID-19 pandemic has more adults working from home and supervising their children at the same time. For those with backyard pools, this poses an especially significant danger which has been brought to life in a chilling PSA from Abbey's Hope.
The 30-second spot, "Watch Me!" features an all-too familiar scene: a distracted mom on the phone, laptop open as her young child splashes in the water, clamoring for her attention. What happens next is summed up by a provocative message superimposed on screen: "88% of child drownings occur with an adult nearby. 100% of those adults will never forgive themselves." The spot concludes by inviting the viewer to become a Water Watchdog, which is an active supervision program started by Abbey's Hope. To date, nearly 10,000 people have registered to take the pledge and receive their iconic Abbey's Hope Water Watchdog 'dog tag,' a tangible reminder of the need to be vigilant when supervising children around water.
"It's sadly ironic that we often tell our kids that we're watching them, when we're not," said Katey Taylor, who along with husband Scott Taylor, founded Abbey's Hope Charitable Foundation in response to the tragic death of their daughter, Abbey, following a pool drain entrapment incident in 2007. Taylor added, "Vigilant supervision has never been more important or required greater discipline, given the world we live in."
Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children ages one to four. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were 379 pool- or spa-related fatal drownings reported per year for 2015 through 2017, involving children younger than 15 years of age. The vast majority of those deaths were to children ages 4 and under.
The PSA will launch 7/20/20 on social media and is free to use and can be accessed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZgSYeaUqWc It also will be broadcast on local television during the summer months when pool and lake usage is at its peak.
About Abbey's Hope:
Abbey's Hope Charitable Foundation is a Minnesota nonprofit organization named after Abbey Taylor, the Edina, Minn., six-year-old who died in 2008 as a result of injuries sustained by an improperly maintained pool drain cover.
The Foundation's goal is to:
● Promote awareness of, and education, related to child safety issues, including educating pool owners, operators, inspectors, and the general public about the dangers of pool entrapment, evisceration and drowning and the need for physical inspections of pool equipment.
● Work with the pool and spa industry to improve the design of its products, packaging and warning labels, and assist in the development of product safety standards related to such products.
● Identify and provide support and assistance to organizations and programs that help educate parents, children, and pool and spa manufacturers about the prevention of entrapment and traditional forms of drowning.

The NDPA Joins the Global GivingTuesday Movement
The National Drowning Prevention Alliance is Joining the Global GivingTuesday Movement to gather funds for our Material Requests Program.
Tustin, CA. – 11/10/2019 – This GivingTuesday, the National Drowning Prevention Alliance will celebrate giving by launching a fundraiser for the occasion that will allow us to continue supporting communities in need with their water safety educational efforts. The funds gathered will be destined to fulfill the hundreds of requests the NDPA receives every month through our Material Requests Program.
Education is an effective way to reduce drowning incidents.
GivingTuesday, taking place December 3rd, is a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage giving and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Every year, on GivingTuesday, millions of people across the globe mobilize to show up, give back, and change their communities. The goal is to create a massive wave of generosity that lasts well beyond that day, and touches every person on the planet.
Founded in 2012, GivingTuesday has inspired millions of people to give back and support the causes they believe in. In just seven years, GivingTuesday has radically changed how we think about generosity and showed just how much power communities everywhere have to create change.
"When GivingTuesday launched in the US in 2012, we believed that technology and social media could be used to make generosity go viral," said Asha Curran, GivingTuesday's CEO and co-founder. "We believed in the idea that people fundamentally want to give and to talk about giving; and that the social sector had the capacity to show more innovative leadership, creativity, and collaboration. People and organizations around the world proved us right. As we prepare for December 3, we're energized and encouraged by the community's generosity. The levels of creativity, effort and the quality of the new ideas people have contributed and shared are phenomenal."
