Review: Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Daon (PC)
Besides the not-so-humble FPS, the RPG is the most 'done' genre out of all the schools of videogaming. As a result of this, we've all become used to the same characters, plots, villains, mechanics and twists- they've been used over and over again to the point of which we can spot exactly where we're going from the opening title screen. Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Daon realises this and takes every available opportunity to poke fun at it.
Interested? You should be.
Before we get to discussing the magnificently brilliant writing present here, we should first cover the premise and gameplay.
You guide the band of adventurers known as the Frayed Knights, (given the title for constantly being the worst of all heroes) and you set out to do some adventure-y things. Dungeon crawl, fight monsters, find treasure, appease your guild head and overthrow a band of intelligent rats planning world domination. The usual stuff. The group has no real goal to begin with except to be slightly competent in their chosen field of expertise.
You try and accomplish these tasks in a satisfactory manner from a first person point of view, which to be honest is a little bit awkward at first. However, once you've taken the ten minutes to accustom yourself to this, you'll soon find it presents no problem and you get straight into some turn based combat.
You'll be spending a fair lot of time in front of a combat screen here, and it gets pretty challenging even early on. To help you with this, the games' unique drawcards come in. First is a neat little thing called "drama points" and I find the concept in itself hilarious. Basically, you gain points that fill up three stars at the top of your screen whenever you do anything dramatic; anything that would be accompanied in a movie by the DRR DRR DRR sound of melodrama. This ranges from dialogue, to encounters to disarming traps - all sorts of things. These are vitally important because of the next drawcard.
The endurance bar is interesting. This bar is THE most important thing in combat, second only to health, and then, only slightly. Whenever you do an action in battle, your stamina in your endurance bar goes down. The less stamina you have, the more easily you are hurt, the less damage you deal, the more you miss. There's also a catch.
As time goes on, the maximum that your stamina your endurance bar can actually hold decreases. This WILL be your downfall. There's no way to fix this except spending drama stars or resting at an inn. Another kicker is that drama stars do not save with your games. Saving and reloading is not encouraged.
Sounds like a game breaker, right? Hell no! As a matter of fact it adds so much more depth to the usual rinse and repeat of RPG turn based combat. This forces you to really think about when you should be resting, going back for potions, using those stars, and makes you pick your fights carefully. To this end, I offer a protip. DO NOT threaten the talking surrealist skull in the Tower of Almost Certain Death. That's good life advice too.
Your party consists of four fixed members. Arianna, dainty warrior half elf with a short temper, Dirk, a clumsy lowbrow thief, Ben, a timid priest only very recently joined after a spell in herbalism, and a ditsy sorceress named Chloe who takes a little too much pleasure in pyromania spells. This is where the writing of this game really shines. It got to a point that even though the gameplay itself was excellent; I kept playing into the wee hours of the morning for the dialogue. So much fun is had here with not only the characters interacting in the most hilarious, fascinating and memorable ways, but with all the fun poked at RPGs I mentioned earlier. It throws a lot of curveballs around RPG convention. When asked to check out the rat problem in Farmer Brown's basement, Dirk proclaims "not another kill the rats in the basement quest!" I actually laughed out loud. (How many games have actually made you laugh vocally? And that's perhaps the weakest gag.) The devs took my expectations of the quest and turned it into exactly what I had not suspected, with some really good results.
The writing is the reason every RPG fans should play it, or even RPG haters, hell, everyone! There are just so many amazing moments; like after getting killed the full five minute dialogue that takes place. I can't find any videos and only one screenshot, so you'll just have to buy it and find out. The game was worth it just for that.
My only real complaints are made because I have to. This ain't a pretty game. It looks like it's been developed during the late 90's, the trees are by far the most hideous I've ever seen and the neutral NPCs do not move. At all. They're essentially fleshy talkative statues.
The main beef I have in combat is that you only have 3 quickslots for spells and no item quickslots, so you have to heal with potions and blast with wands by going into your inventory and doing it manually. Swapping enemies can only be done prior to attacking, which is a bummer when you spend massive stamina on a powerful poison spell on the weakest enemy.
Your walking speed is about the pace of a brisk walk, which is fine for dungeons and tight corridors, but for wide open spaces such as your first town, it gets very monotonous very quickly.
Frayed Knights is produced by Rampant Games. A small collection of developers "working out of their basements", and like all things produced below ground level, the quality here is superb in almost every aspect. Combat is new and refreshing, something desperately needed in an industry that doesn't ever take chances, the characters are memorable, the writing is brilliant, and it just makes you come back for more. Luckily, this is the first of a trilogy, and I only hope I get to review all of them. Google the name and play this game.

Home » Videos » Elk Videos » First Impressions of Escondido Ranch and First Bull Elk DOWN!
Jared Lamb just finished his first hunt on Escondido Ranch. He had his camera with him and created this video of some of the sights he saw during his hunt on the last weekend of September 2013. He saw a big 6x6 bull elk on his first day of hunting and quickly determined that he wanted to hunt for this elk that had 40' of fence wire wrapped around and dragging from his antlers. He finally saw him again the next afternoon and was able to make a good shot that provided him with a true trophy animal.

I collaborated with three Indigenous artists and The Rug Collection to develop the 'Julu Wajaar' (One Earth) range. This range was developed from original artworks depicting stories that moved from the coast, through to the desert.
My 2nd Indigenous rug range was called 'Kurkara' (Desert Oak), and was developed with Tappeti.
This range was conceived after I spent time volunteering at Warlukurlangu in Yuendumu, 350km north west of Alice Springs.
"I arranged this desert trip with my friend, Indigenous elder, artist and bushman. I took with me a jewellery designer and artist. Yuendumu was like nothing I'd ever seen before - we slept in a little house on the edge of the desert sand and could hear the dingoes wailing at night. My role at the art centre was to help prime the canvasses and to mix the paint colours.
The copyright of the original designs and stories of the artworks, remain with each artists. Both rug ranges have returned royalties to the artists on each sale.
The Eco Collective was a project I collaborated on with two other designers – it was about designing natural, sustainable fabrics. The designs derived from paintings, and were hand printed with lead and chemical-free inks on hemp and organic cotton blends. The Collective was featured at DesignEX, Grand Designs Live, and the Design Institute of Australia's textile exhibitions, Interwoven.
My most recent collaboration was on a collection of art prints with Designer Boys in their 2015 – 2016 catalogue.

Apparently the moon is shrinking because it's tectonic plates are smashing together causing moonquakes
The moon shrinks? During its more than 4.5 billion years in space, it has slowly shrunk, researchers say. Over the last few hundred million years, the moon's belt line has slimmed by approximately 150 feet.
As the moon shrinks, the lunar surface is pushed together, forming hundreds of thrust faults, like the one photographed here by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera. Photo by NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University/Smithsonian
According to a new study, the moon's contractions continue today, causing ongoing surface fracturing. These active fractures, or thrust faults, are responsible for moonquakes.
"Some of these quakes can be fairly strong, around five on the Richter scale," Thomas Watters, senior scientist in the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, said in a news release.
The video below shows the Lee Lincoln scarp, a low ridge or step about 80 meters high and running north-south through the western end of the Taurus-Littrow valley, the site of the Apollo 17 Moon landing. The scarp marks the location of a relatively young, low-angle thrust fault. The land west of the fault was forced up and over the eastern side as the lunar crust contracted. New evidence show that this fault and others like it are still active and producing moonquakes today.
Using a new algorithm designed to pinpoint the origins of shallow rumblings produced by a sparse fault network, scientists analyzed the data collected by seismometers placed on the lunar surface during the Apollo missions.
The faults created by lunar shrinking take the form of stair-like cliffs. When scientists mapped the origins of the moonquakes recorded by the Apollo seismometers, they found eight of the 28 shallow quakes were within 18 miles of a visible lunar fault.
This is a view of the Taurus-Littrow valley taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. The valley was explored in 1972 by the Apollo 17 mission astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt. They had to zig-zag their lunar rover up and over the cliff face of the Lee-Lincoln fault scarp that cuts across this valley.Credits: [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]
The new analysis, published this week in the journal Nature Geoscience, showed six of the eight quakes occurred when the moon was at its farthest point from Earth, its apogee, when tidal forces put additional stress on lunar faults.
Simulations determined the chance that coincidence could explain so many shallow quakes occurring near faults during periods of high stress was less than 4 percent.
This prominent lunar lobate thrust fault scarp is one of thousands discovered in Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) images. The fault scarp or cliff is like a stair-step in the lunar landscape (left-pointing white arrows) formed when the near-surface crust is pushed together, breaks, and is thrust upward along a fault as the Moon contracts. Boulder fields, patches of relatively high bright soil or regolith, are found on the scarp face and back scarp terrain (high side of the scarp, right-pointing arrows). Image LROC NAC frame M190844037LR.Credits: NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University/Smithsonian
"We think it's very likely that these eight quakes were produced by faults slipping as stress built up when the lunar crust was compressed by global contraction and tidal forces, indicating that the Apollo seismometers recorded the shrinking moon and the moon is still tectonically active," said Watters.
Authors of the latest study plan to continue analyzing seismic data from the Apollo seismometers, as well as images of the moon's faults, in hopes of uncovering additional evidence of recent moonquakes.
The Taurus-Littrow valley is the location of the Apollo 17 landing site (asterisk). Cutting across the valley, just above the landing site, is the Lee-Lincoln fault scarp. Movement on the fault was the likely source of numerous moonquakes that triggered events in the valley. 1) Large landslides on of slopes of South Massif draped relatively bright rocks and dust (regolith) on and over the Lee-Lincoln scarp. 2) Boulders rolled down the slopes of North Massif leaving tracks or narrow troughs in the regolith on the slopes of North Massif. 3) Landslides on southeastern slopes of the Sculptured Hills.Credits: NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University/Smithsonian
"Establishing a new network of seismometers on the lunar surface should be a priority for human exploration of the Moon, both to learn more about the Moon's interior and to determine how much of a hazard moonquakes present," said Renee Weber, a planetary seismologist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
Comprehension of tectonic and geology of the Moon is indeed of prime importance if we want to conquer the moon and and other nearby planets in the next few decades.

Most people don't assume that a dog will bite them but attacks are known to occur at home or in public settings. For many people, it can be difficult to know how to recover from the incident or move on. When you want to take the right steps after a dog bite occurs, there are a few important tips to follow.
If a stray dog bites you, you'll need to contact Animal Control immediately to ensure that the dog is captured and is not a threat to other children or adults in the local area. The animal may have rabies if it behaves strangely or acts partially paralyzed. If you know the owner of the dog, contact a local vet to determine if the pet has had its rabies shot and if you need one as well.
It's important to obtain help from a legal professional to learn your rights and obtain compensation for the emotional trauma and damages. Each state differs on what you're entitled to, making it necessary to seek financial compensation with a lawyer that specializes in dog bites like those at Boling Rice, LLC., a group of Atlanta dog bite attorneys. You can hold the owner responsible and reduce the risk of having the dog attack another person.
Make it a point to photograph your wounds before they are treated to have proof of the injuries. You'll need to visit an emergency room immediately to have the wound properly cleaned and treated. You'll want to get plastic surgery if you are bitten on the face to receive better treatment than emergency room workers who may not stitch up the wound cleanly. Your doctor will determine if you'll need a rabies shot.
Suffering from a dog bite can prove to be traumatic due to the emotional and physical pain that is involved. Allow your body to rest and follow the directions from your primary physician on how to care for your injury to reduce the risk of infections. Find a strong support group of family members and friends who can help you to process the incident and work through your emotions. Don't be afraid to talk to a professional to recover and avoid feeling traumatized by the event.
When you want to protect yourself and recover from a dog bite, you'll need to follow the right steps. By remaining proactive, you can heal properly and receive the compensation that you deserve from the party that is responsible.

Q: Creating loop that pulls back every three months until 6 months are pulled - Python How can I create a loop to print every 3 months ago until it gives me back 6 months? For example, I want the loop to pull back dates like this 202012, 202009, 202006, 202003, 201912, 201909, essentially skipping every 3 until it does it for 6 times.

A: Assuming that when you say 'gives me back 6 months' you mean generates 6 different months, including the starting month:
import datetime
import dateutil.relativedelta

date = datetime.datetime.strptime("202003", "%Y%m")
delta = dateutil.relativedelta.relativedelta(months=3)

print(date.strftime("%Y%m"))
for _ in range(5):
    date += delta
    print(date.strftime("%Y%m"))

# edit: I see OP wanted to go back in time. The += should be -=

Overall cargo numbers for containers at the Port of Long Beach were up 9.7 percent in April 2014 compared to the same month last year, according to newly-released data.
Following a slow March, which the port attributes in part to the harsh winter in other parts of the country, April container volumes rebounded as weather and shopping patterns returned to normal.
A total of 569,843 TEUs moved through Port of Long Beach container terminals in April. The total number of TEU imports was 295,712, an increase of 11.9 percent from April 2013, while exports jumped 6.3 percent to 146,498 TEUs over the same period. Also, empty containers were up 8.8 percent to 127,633 TEUs.
Following a weak first quarter at the POLB, overall volume for the first four months of 2014 is up just one percent compared to the same period last year. For the fiscal year, which began in October, total volumes are up 2.8 percent compared to the same seven months in FY 2013.
Last year, against which 2014 is being compared, was the third-busiest year in port history with a total of 6.73 million TEUs.
Additional details on Long Beach's latest monthly cargo numbers can be found at http://www.polb.com/economics/stats/latest_teus.asp. More details on all cargo numbers are available at www.polb.com/stats.

Allegations & Revelations in British Columbia: Enter the Ethics Commissioner
It was just last week that I wrote an update to the story of British Columbia Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido and the allegations against him and his law firm. This is a story that's continued to fester and grow bit by bit, leaving me to openly question what exactly would have to happen for his spot in the Liberal caucus and his candidacy in the fall to be taken away.
By his very presence in the Liberal caucus and his continued candidacy it's become clear that as far as the Prime Minister sees it, he's not reached that point. If that wasn't clear, surely these Tweets from earlier today must speak to how the PM feels about him:

Yep, despite everything that's come out so far, there's Joe Peschisolido making a funding re-announcement on the behalf of his party. You'd think that given everything that's swirling around him right now that he'd be laying low but nope. All of this surely shows some judgement that's easily open to questioning by many. But that in mind later this afternoon, a few hours after those Tweets went out, another shoe dropped in this case, one that came from Ottawa and was surely expected to come at some point:
Ethics commissioner investigating Liberal MP whose law firm was linked to alleged Chinese gangster https://t.co/33nqKrsavf
— National Newswatch (@natnewswatch) August 7, 2019
Well this was bound happen sooner or later. Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion, come on down, it's your turn to take part in this story. And really folks, this development just takes matters from bad to worse for the Liberal caucus, as this makes another Ethics commissioners investigation of the Liberals and their caucus in this term. Far from being an isolated case, this is another one to add to the pile of Ethics commissioners investigations that we've seen in this Parliament, far too many for any party that ran on being different. And unlike other investigations that Mr. Dion has undertook, the subject matter of this one seems to be more serious and more dangerous for this government.
Given the timing of this announcement, we shouldn't expect a resolution of this investigation before election day, but that's not necessarily a good thing for the Liberals. Yes, there won't be a finding against Peschisolido before people vote, but that means that for the entire campaign the other parties be able to point to this investigation, in concert with the others that have already happened, and talk about ethics. Remember how the last time I wrote about this case that Peschisolido is a tempting subject for an attack ad against the Liberals? Well being able to add "under investigation by the Ethics commissioner" just makes it all the more certain we'll see that ad from someone, and it will be that much more damaging.
Last time I wrote about this story I said something that I believe bares some repeating right now, because after this news it's all the more true:
In stories like these, eventually a point gets reached where a parties' unwillingness to punish, suspend or remove a caucus member for allegations like these starts to transfer the blame for the acts. If a party acts quickly and decisively, it's much easier for them to separate themselves from the alleged actions against that caucus member. But the longer they wait to act, and the more details that come to the surface, that starts to put some of the blame on the party itself. That delay or refusal to act sends a signal that they don't have a problem with these allegations, that they feel they aren't that serious or that they are above it all. And the longer that seeps into the public conscious, the harder it is to undo.
https://magpiebrule.ca/2019/07/28/allegations-revelations-in-british-columbia-an-update/
By having kept Peschisolido in their caucus, the Liberals have exposed themselves to the risks that come with this investigation and the association that comes with it. If they had cut ties with him, they would be much more protected against this development. But instead inaction here has brought more consequences for the Liberals, the Prime Minister and for everyone running under the Liberal banner in this election. If I was one of those candidates, tonight I'd be asking myself why I will have to defend attacks on this topic and why they are in this position. Those are honest and legit questions, and way things are going, it seems like there will be more questions to be asked, not less.
So what will it take to remove Peschisolido from the Liberal fold? That question remains open but it seems that not even an investigation from the Ethics commissioner will get him booted or get his candidacy revoked. Instead it seems that he'll get to keep doing government funding announcements while Mr. Dion does his work. That's not exactly the look any party wants going into a tough election, yet it's the one the current government has seemed to have given itself.

Obama's Harvard law professor challenged U.S. racism
By Tom Cohen, CNN
Washington (CNN) - When Derrick Bell was a young lawyer in the Department of Justice's new Civil Rights Division in the late 1950s, his supervisor told him to drop his membership in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Bell refused, and soon saw his caseload reduced and desk moved into the hallway. Eventually he resigned.
It would not be the last time Bell gave up a prized position for a principle. Years later, he left Harvard Law School - where he had been the first tenured African-American professor - over the lack of any black women on the faculty.
Bell was a legal scholar who broke racial barriers in a career that influenced students, including a young Barack Obama at Harvard. He died last October.

Rareview: Going natural in corporate America
By Claudia Morales, CNN
(CNN) - Her black, female, co-workers pressured her to re-consider, but Ivy Grant, an associate partner in a marketing consulting firm decided to make the transition from her processed straight hair, to her naturally textured hair twelve years ago, and has no regrets.
"Everyone has this fear that you're not going to be accepted in the work place with this kind of hair," Grant said referring to her curly afro.
On the other hand, financial executive Michele Chowtai is only eight months into the transition process, and says she is still not sure if she will go "fully natural." She fears there is a negative stigma she can't avoid and wonders, "How am I going to be perceived in the work place after I go completely natural?"
More and more black women are grappling with these decisions. The percentage that say they do not use chemical products to straighten or relax their hair increased to 36% in 2011, up from 26% in 2010, according to a report by Mintel, a market intelligence firm.
The desire for healthy hair and an escape from damaging chemical products are two of the reasons why women are choosing to go natural. After years of torturous treatments, scalp burns and high costs, Grant walked into a salon, cut all her hair off and decided she would never go back to chemical relaxers.

The lack of minorities in U.S. fire departments has been the focus of many lawsuits.
Judge orders millions paid in NYC firefighter bias case
By Rose Arce, CNN
(CNN) - A U.S. district judge ordered New York City to pay $128 million in to firefighters who allege the city used an entrance exam that deliberately sought to keep African-Americans and Latino Americans off the force. The judge also ordered the FDNY to hire 293 black and Latino applicants.
"It has been in the city's power to prevent or remedy the need for damages proceedings for a decade, and it has not done so," U.S. District Judge Nicholas G. Garufis said in his ruling on the class action lawsuit. He called it the "consequences of the city's decision to ignore clear violations of federal law."
The federal government had sued the city (United States of America and Vulcan Society Inc. vs. City of New York) alleging the city violated the U.S. Constitution and local civil rights laws by using an entrance exam intentionally designed to discriminate based on race.

Income inequality is greatest in Southern counties.
Where are incomes most unequal? The South
By Tami Luhby, CNNMoney
(CNN) - When you think of income inequality, don't picture a luxury condo in Manhattan or a Beverly Hills mansion. Instead, imagine a Southern plantation.
The South had the highest share of counties with the greatest income inequality, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Some 32% of Southern counties ranked in the top fifth in terms of inequality, versus 12% in the Northeast and West each.
The Midwest, meanwhile, has the lowest level in income inequality, with only 8% of counties ranking in the top fifth. It also has the largest share of counties with the lowest inequality.

Thurston says his book should tell readers: "Hey somebody has a weirdo Black experience like yours, which isn't that weirdo."
Thurston's new book 'How To Be Black' isn't a self-help guide, but there are some useful tips
Editor's note: Baratunde Thurston is a comedian, writer, co-founder of the black political blog, Jack and Jill Politics and director of digital for The Onion. His first book, "How To Be Black," was published this month by Harper Collins.
Christian Lander is the creator of the popular blog, Stuff White People Like and the author of two best-selling books, "Stuff White People Like: A Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions" and "Whiter Shade of Pale."
By Sarah Edwards, CNN
(CNN) - Though the title might fool you, Baratunde Thurston's new book "How To Be Black" is not a do-it-yourself guide. It is instead a memoir which illustrates Thurston's sometimes funny and sometimes tragic life story. Through a mix of personal narrative, humor and satire, Thurston allows the reader to think about–and laugh about–race in a safe, non-judgmental space.
Christian Lander, Baratunde's friend, is a Canadian-born writer and satirist whose experience and upbringing may not parallel Thurston's, the inner-city D.C. kid who graduated from Harvard; but it is clear that their brands of irreverent humor and frank discourse are what they share. When Lander, who was interviewed in Thurston's book, got together with Thurston for CNN In America to chat about "How To Be Black," the result was a freewheeling discussion on race fatigue, Norbit and 21st Century Blackness.

Twitter not reliable predictor of election outcomes: Study
Wed, Feb 17, 2016 - 9:30 AM
[NEW YORK] In politics, it is said that all press is good press. But that does not necessarily apply to tweets, according to a study released this week.
In fact, it is difficult to predict the outcome of an election based on the amount of Twitter buzz a candidate gets, according to the study from the Social Science Computer Review.
The study, whose relevance to this year's US election was sharply disputed by Twitter, focused on the 2013 German federal election and found that Twitter data was a more accurate measure of the level of interest in candidates rather than the level of support they will receive.
"Negative events, such as political scandals, as well as positively evaluated events, such as accomplishments, can (both) underlie attention for a party or candidate," said the study, published on Monday.
Yet scandals and accomplishments affect the level of support for a candidate in completely different ways.
SEE ALSO: Twitter revamps website in bid to mimic mobile app
"The analysis does not support the simple 'more tweets, more votes' formula," the study found.
For example, a video clip of a candidate's campaign gaffe broadcast on the nightly news might lead to a spike in Twitter attention, but likely not result in more overall political support, according to the study.
"The daily volume of Twitter messages referring to candidates or parties fluctuates heavily depending on the events of the day - such as televised leaders' debates, high-profile interviews with candidates - or the coverage of political controversies and scandals," the study said.
The data also showed that Twitter users did not necessarily reflect the demographics of the population as a whole. In the United States, social media platforms like Twitter and Yik Yak are often more popular among millennial voters.
A Twitter spokesman argued the study was not relevant to the 2016 US presidential election.
"I'd advise passing the next time someone sends along German Twitter data from three years ago in the context of the 2016 US election," said Nick Pacilio, a spokesman for the social media site's government and news department.
Mr Pacilio cited a Time magazine website report that showed Twitter chatter favored the winning candidates, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, in the Iowa caucuses this month.
Republican and Democratic contenders are vying for their parties' nominations for the Nov 8 election to succeed President Barack Obama.

26. April - 29. January 2017 Sprengel Museum Hannover
THE BIG SHOTS
A somewhat different Niki de Saint Phalle in Hannover
Although she created a diverse portfolio of works, her so called Nanas are the objects mostly connected to her art. The colorful Nana figures of the French artist Niki de Saint Phalle characterize numerous public places in Europe with their stout and oversized forms. The artist only started dedicating herself to those voluminous plastics from the late 1960s only. Before first paintings and assemblages arise. Furthermore, she works as a performance artist and starts with her "shooting pictures" with which she first attracts attention.
An exhibition in the Sprengel museum in Hannover now shows the works from the early working years of the artist, amongst them the shooting pictures as well as material pictures from the 1960s. The exhibition "The Big Shots" is supposed to show the artistic development of Niki de Saint Phalles with selected works from the beginning of the 1960s until the 1990s. The museum can draw from a rich pool, because the artist herself gifted more than 400 of her works to the city of Hannover in 2000.
De Saint Phalles early emancipation as an artist is manifested in the shooting pictures: They are gypsum reliefs with worked in paint containers. Then, they are shot with a gun so the containers are destroyed and the color runs on the painting. An important example is the Hommage to Bob Rauschenberg – Shot by Rauschenberg (1961), a constructed assemblage which is dedicated to the famous American artist Robert Rauschenberg, who she let shoot himself.
In the large material pictures from the 1960s, the artist tries to free herself from the ideal and material constraints as well as from her past. In La Mort du Patriarche (1962) she settles with the patriarchal figure, characterized by muscles, large phallus and small head. With her early artistic works, Niki de Saint Phalle tried to process her childhood where she was abused by her father. Only with the Nanas, which are represented in Hannover with the figure of the large Gwendolyn (1966-90), does Niki find her famous happy form language that characterizes many of her later sculptures and installations in the public.
In the exhibition in Hannover, a number of models are shown that Niki created in the late 1970s for the Tarot garden in Italy. For the park, which is open to the public since 1998, and that the artist understood as a meditative garden, Niki de Saint Phalle created, together with her husband Tinguely, 22 figures following the French Tarot card game as well as numerous colorful and fantastic mosaics.
The exhibition, which is shown as the start of the large collection presentation named "130 % Sprengel" in the Sprengel museum Hannover, can be visited from April 26th, 2016 till January 29th, 2017 in the insight hall of the museum.

It is actually challenging as a stone. Our experts are 4 days in as well as have actually added our froth topper coming from our aged mattress only to earn it rather bearable. I only don't recognize exactly how folks can believe this fits unless they're made use of to sleeping on park seats. Only a huge portion from froth along with no comfort. This is actually the most unhappy point I have actually ever rested on. It broadened off its own flat type from 1 to 2 inches in to a solid 10 in mattress.
I'm a back person as well as like a quite firmer mattress, so that's my point from reference. Overall, actually love the mattress. I know everybody has different likes, however I find this hard to think the authenticity from these assessments. I am actually not definitely fond of assertive advertising (there are metro incorporates for these best mattresses 2017 everywhere), and also I have actually never acquired a foam mattress. Definitely comfortable, no moving for the various other person in bedroom, and also a terrific rate.
Its organization nearly solid like feeling is extremely other from various other mattresses, as well as appears weird at. This would have brought in for a quite absurd Youtube video recording, but I endured to discharge and also made this onto my structure, the Zinus 14 in SmartBase Mattress Foundation, by myself. This is actually pretty darn heavy, as well as instructs staff lifting which I would whole heartedly support. I have actually regularly spent tiny fortunes on mattresses, as well as was actually satisfied to pay less.
Regardless of whether you are actually a "validated" purchaser performs that assurance you're certainly not being reimbursed for your evaluation? The Needle was actually a little to organization for some. I like this mattress far better in comparison to any type of previous mattress I've had, regardless of it costing a decent little bit less. This mattress deserved every money. Each possess 100 day cash back guarantees, so I definitely could not make a mistake.
I carried out some study and inquired a variety of friends which foam mattresses they highly recommend. I am actually incredibly delighted to get an American created mattress that actually operates, as well as carries out not beat up the budget. The mattress uses you the correct assistance without creating you scorching as well as moist. Well, certainly not definitely but u realize. That is probably why best mattress uses a 100 night trial period. The most ideal mattress and also Tuft and also Needle both obtained regularly excellent assessments.
A luxury cover could fix this problem however I are going to finish up returning this mattress. I am actually quite satisfied along with this acquisition. As soon as I unzipped the mattress, I was likewise completely dissatisfied with the high quality from the base layer foam; this fell apart in my nails. Perform not acquire this bed if you are actually an edge person.

The Parent Classroom Newsletter > Are The Holidays Stressing You Out?
There are lots of reasons why people experience stress and pressure around the December holidays. But the one thing that seems universal is a yearning for a simpler, less commercial, more soul-satisfying celebration. This wish seems to cross religions and cultures. It reflects a deep need on all our parts to end the year with a festival of renewal that rekindles our faith, brings us closer to the people we care about, and brings some light into the dark days of winter.
1. A relaxed and loving time with family.
* Reminisce with your family members about past holidays. Make a list of the things that worked and brought you joy, and the things that drained your energy and caused you stress. Brainstorm to solve the problems that don?t work, and create more time for the activities that nurture you.
* Create a balance between getting things done and spending time with your children. This may mean foregoing a project ?or including your children in the project.
* Ask your children how they wish to contribute during this season and incorporate some of their ideas into the plans. Have them assume some responsibility for things like gift wrapping and making decorations.
2. For realistic expectations about gifts"
* Be explicit about your gift giving rituals. For example, ?we will open presents on the first day of Hanukkah and the last day; or ?Santa Claus will bring you one big gift and one small gift. If your budget this year is limited, be explicit about the number and kinds of gifts your children will receive.
* Young children mostly like to open presents, so small, inexpensive gifts can be as meaningful as a larger, more expensive gift.
* Don?t feel trapped into purchasing gifts that are beyond your budget or feel too commercial and junky to you. It is good for children to know your boundaries and values. They can choose things that cost less, and can be helped to understand that the media wants us to buy that toy, even though it breaks easily?but we are going to think of something else.
* Ask a grandparent or relative to consider spending a day with a child as a gift.
* If your child receives a huge number of gifts from relatives, decide on a number that he or she should open, and store the rest. These can make great gifts for a rainy day when they are restless and bored.
* Start a giving ritual in your family. On one night of Hanukkah, have children wrap gifts to bring to a homeless shelter; or put toys under the tree for Santa to bring to children in need.
* Stretch out the celebration by allowing children to participate in the various stages: getting the tree, polishing the menorah, baking the cookies, listening to music, reading the books, wrapping the gifts?all can be planned as special events that help children with the waiting, ritualize the preparations, and generate a period, rather than one day of joy.
* Advent traditions can be particularly wonderful for dealing with the countdown until Christmas: buying an advent calendar or making your own countdown calendar which can include pictures of the planned activities such as getting the tree or baking the cookies.
* Rituals are hugely important as they create memories, communicate values and provide comfort and security.?
* Think back to the rituals of your own childhood. What are the elements in your childhood celebration that you would like to transfer to your current celebration? Think about creating new rituals that speak to your family in the present, rather than mirroring the past.
* If it was the light, or the music, or the food, or the company how can you make this be a fuller part of your family's celebration? Focus on the things that you most want and that nurture you, rather than trying to do it all.

A coffee table is totally will have to to finish off a house. It truly is sort of a centerpiece to your sitting space. Persons tend to gather round coffee tables, generating the area feel homey. It is also modest enough to be helpful but not within the way. These tables also can double up as impromptu game table or writing tables for the evening. It is a quaint little piece of furnishings that adds to your décor and your selection really should reflect the mood of the basic décor.
Naturally, the first criteria for deciding on coffee tables need to be the general décor with the space. Décors may be broadly classified as Classical, Chic, Retro, Modern etc. A classic décor will likely be Victorian era heavy and ornate furniture, a great deal of wood and lots of pink cloth. An ornate, curved leg dark wood coffee table might be ideal in that setting. Entirely opposite to classic, we have modern day, which is lighter furnishings, white wood or steel and glass pieces.
If your décor is much more unique like Retro, the 80s disco style, or chic to suit your upwardly mobile guests and way of life, your choose of coffee tables could turn into slimmer and much more expensive. However, even though décor can be your style guide, you have to measure the area you intent to location the coffee table in ahead of beginning any buying.
Never rely on your eyes to measure tables. Becoming low, they typically look smaller sized then they may be, specially glass topped coffee tables appear smaller sized resulting from their see-through tops. You can't haul property a piece of furniture to discover it's just a little also higher or wide to fit your living space.

Ferny Creek Receives Vital Funding For Bushfire Alert System
Posted on 01 April 2012 . Tags: Bushfire Risk, Victoria
Victoria Minister for Bushfire Response Peter Ryan
Funding For Ferny Creek Bushfire Alert System
The Ferny Creek Bushfire Alert Committee will receive $14,500 from the Victorian Coalition Government to support vital improvements to the region's bushfire alert system.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Bushfire Response Peter Ryan made the announcement during a visit to Yarra Ranges and Cardinia shires today.
Mr. Ryan said the improvements would enable the manual activation of the Ferny Creek Bushfire Alert System from the Sassafras Ferny Creek Fire Station
"This improvement will help overcome barriers experienced with the existing pager-based activation system and give CFA personnel the capacity to manually switch on the alert network from the local fire station." Mr. Ryan said.
"The manual activation system will link in with the three sirens at Dunn's Hill, One Tree Hill and Sassafras/Ferny Creek via a new wireless telemetry network, which will include a repeater module to overcome any geographical obstacles."
Mr. Ryan said the Ferny Creek Bushfire Alert Committee (FCBAC) was a not-for-profit community organisation, run by volunteers that provided an invaluable service to the district.
"The Dandenong Ranges is one of the most bushfire-prone areas in Victoria and an effective bushfire alert system is crucial." Mr. Ryan said.
"The improvements to the alert system will benefit 150 households in the immediate area, tourists and bushwalkers using the local recreational facilities and walking tracks, and the wider Ferny Creek and Sassafras communities."
"I thank the volunteers of the FCBAC and the local CFA for their dedication and ongoing commitment to protecting the community against the threat of bushfire."
Mr. Ryan said funding for the project was from the Coalition Government's $5 Million Fire Ready Communities program which was designed to support grass-roots initiatives in Victoria's 52 most at-risk bushfire-prone communities.
To apply for Fire Ready Communities grants, local councils and community organisations should contact the Department of Planning and Community Development in their region.

Top 5 NHL stars-turned-coaches
With news Chris Chelios is poised to join the Red Wings as an assistant coach, what better time to rank the best former NHL players-turned-coaches (assistant or otherwise) in league history? No better time, that's when.
Adam Proteau
Members of the NHL's coaching community come from a wide variety of backgrounds – some, like Canucks coach Willie Desjardins, have degrees in social work; others, like Dallas' Lindy Ruff, are hockey lifers with a background as a worker bee NHLer – but, for the most part, very few of the game's elite stars have found success as bench bosses. The reasons for it are complex, but by-and-large, the best of the best usually prefer to spend their time away from the type of high-pressure environment occupied by a coach in hockey's top league. And that's why news the Red Wings were close to naming Hockey-Hall-of-Famer Chris Chelios as an assistant to new head coach Jeff Blashill is interesting: you rarely see a former player of his calibre at ice level without his equipment on.
Who are the best modern-era players who have evolved into NHL coaches or assistant coaches? Here are the Top 5:
5. Adam Oates. Like the other players who made this list, Oates is a Hall-of-Famer who amassed 1,420 points in 1,337 regular-season games and is regarded as one of the better playmakers in league history. He began his post-career coaching days as an assistant in Tampa Bay and then New Jersey, before the Capitals made him their head coach in June of 2012. And although he failed to make the playoffs in two years guiding the Capitals before he was fired at the end of the 2013-14 campaign, Oates quickly returned behind the bench with the Devils as a "co-coach" alongside Scott Stevens midway through this past year. He'll likely get another shot, at least, as an assistant, with another NHL franchise.
4. Scott Stevens/Larry Robinson. Two defensemen who played the game in very different manners, Robinson and Stevens are multi-time Stanley Cup-winners as NHLers and used their cachet to their benefit as coaches. However, where Stevens is just beginning his coaching career – his duties with Oates were his first official duties in an assistant-type capacity – Robinson is winding down his days behind the bench, currently working with San Jose as an associate coach and director of player development. Robinson also won a Cup as an assistant with New Jersey in 1995 and as a head coach five years later, so Stevens has some catching up to do if he wants to match his former coach's achievements in retirement.
3. Bryan Trottier. The Islanders icon amassed 1,425 points in 1,279 regular-season games and won six Cups (four on Long Island, and two in Pittsburgh) as a player, then added another ring as an assistant coach with Colorado in 2001. The Art Ross, Hart and Conn Smythe-winner was a washout in his one year as a head coach in Manhattan with the Rangers, but he returned to the coaching community last season as an assistant to Ted Nolan in Buffalo.
2. Scott Niedermayer. Since his retirement in 2010, Niedermayer has dipped a toe in the coaching waters, serving as an assistant with the Ducks while not travelling with the team on the road and looking after his young family. But the 41-year-old Norris and Conn Smythe winner makes this list because he was one of the smoothest blueliners the sport has ever known – and his four Stanley Cup rings are a testament to his legacy as a winner.
1. Patrick Roy. The former Canadiens and Avalanche superstar goalie isn't just the biggest name (other than Wayne Gretzky, of course) to step behind an NHL bench, but he's arguably the best to ever play his position – and when he won the Jack Adams Award in 2014 as a rookie head coach at that level, the 49-year-old instantly became the most accomplished former star-turned-coach in league history. Four Stanley Cups, three Conn Smythes and three Vezina Trophies simply underscore how dominant Roy was.

Q: Find the value of the determinant.
I know it equals 0 beause I solved it using minors, but I should solve it using determinants' properties. I have just detarted the determinant into 2, but I can't do nothing else.

A: Following the comment by copper.hat, let's do the following
$$\begin{align}\begin{vmatrix} 1 & a & b+c \\ 1 & b & c+a \\ 1 & c & a+b\end{vmatrix} &= \begin{vmatrix} 1 & a & b+c \\ 1 & b & c+a \\ 1 & c & a+b\end{vmatrix} + 0 \\ &= \begin{vmatrix} 1 & a & b+c \\ 1 & b & c+a \\ 1 & c & a+b\end{vmatrix} + \begin{vmatrix} 1 & a & a \\ 1 & b & b \\ 1 & c & c\end{vmatrix} \\ &= \begin{vmatrix}1 & a & a+b+c \\ 1 & b & a+b+c \\ 1 & c & a+b+c\end{vmatrix} \\ &= (a+b+c)\begin{vmatrix}1 & a & 1 \\ 1 & b & 1 \\ 1 & c & 1\end{vmatrix} \\ &= 0\end{align}$$
We took advantage of $2$ properties of determinants here:

*

*The determinant of any matrix with a repeated row or column is $0$.

*Determinants are multilinear in their columns and rows.

Apparently, Everything We Think We Know about Hangovers is Wrong…
Chris in Food & Drink
You may have been told that the less desirable effects of alcohol – the disturbed sleep, the morning-after headaches, the drama in your gut – come from dehydration, or impurities from barrel aging, or mixing spirits, wine, and beer in a single session. I've always thought (or, um, learned) that it's the sugar in sweeter drinks that does the deed, coupled with the dehydrating effects…but, even if you DO drink water, or don't have multiple spirits, the effects can still be intense.
Turns out – we've got it all wrong. A hangover, like the flu, is actually an inflammatory response. Dehydration happens, sure, but the hangover still lingers after those effects have been addressed. It's your immune system, trying to deal with all these unfamiliar molecules you've introduced to your body.
Fresh Air interviewed Adam Rogers, author of Proof: The Science of Booze. They report,
[Scientists] finally have a survey instrument that they can give somebody and assess, "You have a Level 9 hangover, and you have a Level 7 hangover," and they finally started to see that overlap with both migraine and also an inflammatory response, so the kind of thing you would have if you had the flu — where you feel achy and you feel slow and your brain doesn't work as fast and [you have] general malaise. Looking at that, they can go, "K, let's see if in fact this is an inflammation."
If you look at people with hangovers, the same markers in the blood that you would see with an inflammatory response, things like cytokines, for example — which are molecule[s] that the immune [system] uses to talk to itself — actually do seem elevated, and even better, you can induce what looks like a hangover by giving somebody those same molecules. … That's good news because if you say, "Well, it's an inflammatory response," then maybe I can go with anti-inflammatory drugs, and we have those.
I'm still gonna avoid all that sugar and drink plenty of water. But I'll be watching to see where these studies take us.
