To assemble ziti, spoon 1/2 cup sauce on bottom of prepared pan; top with half of pasta in an even layer. Evenly spread pasta with ricotta mixture; cover with half of remaining sauce. Top with remaining pasta and spoon remaining sauce over top; sprinkle with mozzarella and remaining tablespoon Parmesan. Bake until cheese melts and is browned, about 20 to 30 minutes. Allow ziti to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into 12 pieces. Yields 1 piece per serving.

Cry Of The Children (2013)
J.M. Gregson
Severn House Publishers
About book: That wasn't usual for Bert, who generally enjoyed his work, despite his routine protests on occasions at the dullness of it. Tonight he came into their home wishing heartily for a little of that dullness.
'Supper won't be long,' she said.
He looked at her for a moment as if he had not understood, then nodded and slumped into an armchair.
Eleanor got herself a gin and tonic and set a glass and a can of beer on the small table by Hook's elbow. 'Thanks,' he said quietly. He summoned up a small, grateful smile for her, then stared into space. After a moment, he tilted the glass and poured the contents of the can into it with elaborate care, as if he could shut out the rest of his day by this simple act of concentration.
Eleanor sat down opposite him but didn't speak. They had married relatively late by police standards, when both of them were in their late twenties and recovering from broken engagements. It was a relaxed and happy union; they often didn't need words. It wasn't until Bert gave a long sigh and said, 'We haven't found her,' that Eleanor chose to speak.

This article in the framing series addresses strategies that infant-toddler professionals can use to become better communicators about the early years.
This article begins to break the process of framing down by examining the strategic elements that comprise a frame.
When is the Right Time to Use Personal Stories and Vivid Examples?


The Web App Plugin is available from Microsoft for download, and should be installed on any system requiring access to the Video conferencing capabilities of the Skype Web SDK.
In some instances, especially when you're running the Lync or Skype for Business client application on the same PC as your web app is running, an additional dialog box may appear when you try to authenticate using the Skype Web SDK.
This is typically shown when the user account your using for the SDK authentication method, client.signInManager.signIn(), is difference to the client app running in the background.
For example, I am always logged in with my personal Skype for Business account using the client app, but test my SDK code using a specific account I've created for Pluralsight.
The result is your web browser may pop up an additional authentication dialog - if you leave with your client credentials, the SDK will use these and not the credentials you pass it.
The Solution: Simple re-enter your SDK credentials in the popup dialog box, and you're good to go. The SDK will cache these, so you will only need to enter them once per browser session.
Learn more about the SDK's prerequisites.
If you're seeing the MediaPluginNotInstalled error, and you're sure you've installed the plugin, it may be due to NPAPI not being enabled.
Google has decided to remove NPAPI support in Chrome, so currently the Lync and Skype for Business Web App may not work, unless you stay on older versions of Chrome.
See Google's announcement for more information.
Microsoft are currently working on a solution for this.
In the meantime, Firefox and IE continue to work well.
To add Audio or Video modalities to a Skype Web SDK application, the Lync Web App or Skype for Business Web App plugin must be installed. This usually 'just works', but from time to time, depending on your browser configuration, some tweaking is required.
Enable the plugin by setting the NPAPI flag at chrome://flags/#enable-npapi and checking the "Always allowed to run" checkbox for the plugin at chrome://plugins.
The plugin isn't supported in browsers that run on Windows using "Run As Administrator", so ensure your browser is opened as a standard user application.
<sarcasm>Thanks Microsoft</sarcasm> But it was to be expected due to the cut-down nature and simplicity of Microsoft's new Edge Browser.
At this time, the plugin isn't supported in Edge.
Keep an eye on their development roadmap and status for updates.


Know someone FRAZZLED this December?
Know someone SAD this holiday?
Know anyone IN THE DARK about the point of Christmas?
. . . Want to light up their tree a bit?
A Better December casts ancient King Solomon as a farsighted author who penned his famous Proverbs to coach modern people through the stress and melancholy of the Christmas holidays. With a zippy style and playful mood, Steve Estes's little volume moves from the sage's clever holiday tips to a gentle but compelling introduction to the One behind Christmas. It is spread with poignant, but not sappy, true stories. Pint-sized and pen-and-ink-illustrated, A Better December is intended as a book to give at Christmas.
When bad things happen, who's behind them — God or the devil?
When suffering touches our lives, questions like these suddenly demand an answer. From our perspective, suffering doesn't make sense, especially when we believe in a loving and just God.
After more than thirty years in a wheelchair, Joni Eareckson Tada's intimate experience with suffering gives her a special understanding of God's intentions for us in our pain. In When God Weeps, she and lifelong friend Steven Estes probe beyond glib answers that fail us in our time of deepest need. Instead, with firmness and compassion, they reveal a God big enough to understand our suffering, wise enough to allow it — and powerful enough to use it for a greater good than we can ever imagine.
In the early morning darkness of January 19, 1981, seven armed terrorists burst into the SIL guest house in Bogota, Colombia. Herding the sleepy occupants together, they demanded the SIL director. He wasn't there. The terrorists pointed to Chet Bitterman. "We'll take you." The young father walked over to the couch and for a moment held baby Esther, who was crying. He kissed three-year-old Anna, turned to Brenda, and asked her to be calm for the girls' sake. A gunman urged him into the rear office and he was gone.
In this, the authorized biography, the whole story of Chet's kidnapping, his seven weeks in the hands of Colombian terrorists, and the final — and futile — negotiations for his life are set down in dramatic sequence.
It is the story of what happens when terrorism confronts Christianity. It is also the story of how God can use an ordinary person in an extraordinary way.
Yet another drama parallels the telling of the kidnapping by terrorist extremists: that drama is the narrative of Chet Bitterman's life, the story of the winsome character who was an inspiration in life as well as in death. This is the story of Chet the adventurer, with the Tom-Sawyer knack for living; Chet the prankster, with his bag full of tricks in college; Chet the idealist, who struggled to feel adequate as a linguistics trainee; and Chet the man's man, who joked with his abductors, even during his final days. Called to Die transcends the tragic end of Chet's life story, however, as it focuses on the inspiring events that followed his death.
Out of her struggle to accept her disability, after a diving accident left her quadriplegic, Joni Eareckson Tada's classic autobiography, Joni, was born.
But the story doesn't end there. With the aid of her mentor, Steve Estes, Joni continues the candid account of her struggles and victories through her second book, A Step Further. This remarkable story not only catalogs her bouts with depression and discouragement but highlights how God used her circumstances, individuals, and events to shape her and reveal himself to her.
Joni and Steve have written more than one book about this topic. But while When God Weeps is a theology of suffering, A Step Further is a more personal view of Joni's own journey into suffering and what she discovered along the way, conveyed in stories, anecdotes, and narrative.
This Gold Medallion Award-winning book is more than an autobiography. It is Joni's deeply personal attempt "to answer in part many of the questions people have raised regarding suffering by sharing from my own life." With remarkable candor and insight, Joni searches out the mysterious relationship between pain, faith, and the goodness of God that, sooner or later, each one of us must contend with.

LOI team news: Sligo look to further rattle Hoops in clash of the Rovers
Updated / Monday, 24 May 2021 10:51
Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers drew 1-1 earlier this season
Shamrock Rovers v Sligo Rovers, Tallaght Stadium, 7.45pm, (live on WatchLOI)
The remarkable unbeaten run by Shamrock Rovers finally ended last Friday as Dundalk ended 18 months of the Hoops not falling to defeat.
Now that they have suffered a loss, it will be interesting to see the response and more so when it is in-form Sligo Rovers travelling to Dublin.
Sligo are just two points behind the Hoops going into this game and while their target this season was European football, victory here could really bring talk of a title tilt.
The Dublin Rovers are injury-hit but have a good record against the Bit O'Red at this venue.
Shamrock Rovers: Chris McCann, Ronan Finn and Graham Burke are all doubtful with injuries.
Sligo Rovers: David Cawley is out with a groin problem. Danny Kane has returned to training and is set to come into contention for the Finn Harps game with this one coming too soon. Darren Collins is ruled out with an ankle problem. Greg Bolger returns from suspension to face his former side.
Stephen Bradley (Shamrock Rovers manager): "It was strange to lose [to Dundalk, on Friday night] because on many fronts it was a really good performance. Everything we do on the night suggests that we should win the game. Nine times out of 10 when you play that way and create the chances that we created you win the game.
"We're obviously disappointed that we've lost the game but that's the way it goes sometimes and we've just got to move on and get ready for Sligo.
"I said last year I thought Sligo's position was false and I thought they were a very good side. We've seen evidence of that this year because they have good attacking players. They've shown on a number of occasions this year that they can score goals and create problems so they're a good side."
Liam Buckley (Sligo Rovers manager): "We know it's going to be a tough game and we go there looking to make it as difficult as we can for Shamrock Rovers. I feel this will be a very tight game. It was certainly like that in Sligo.
"Obviously Shamrock Rovers were beaten on Friday which ended the run they had. All good things must come to an end so it was going to happen at some stage. We've looked at that game and they had lots of chances over the 90 minutes. We know they're a top side and the defeat doesn't change anything.
"Of course you see the table where it's first against second here but as I said to the boys, the game is about three points just as the Longford game was. I do think we have improved over a period of time.
"Greg Bolger returns which is a big plus and we only have two or three players unavailable so we'll have a strong XI and a strong bench."
Bohemians v Dundalk, Dalymount Park, 5.45pm (live on WatchLOI)
After months of misery at Oriel Park, Dundalk finally brought smiles to the faces of their fans last Friday with a surprise victory.
Remarkably, it was just a third win of the campaign for the Lilywhites and while it brought relief and joy on a night of protests against chairman Bill Hulsizer, many more wins are needed with the top three still 10 points away.
Bohs were unfortunate to lose in Richmond Park as their resurgence took a hit with an injury-time penalty. Results elsewhere didn't go their way so this is a key match in resuming the chase for a European spot.
Bohemians: Stephen Mallon remains out with a metatarsal injury.
Dundalk: The Lilywhites travel without Pat Hoban (calf), Daniel Cleary (torn quadriceps tendon), and Brian Gartland (knee). Sonni Nattestad will be assessed ahead of kick-off.
Jim Magilton (Dundalk interim manager): "The lads were magnificent to a man against Shamrock Rovers on Friday night. Their work rate, grit, determination - all the dirty words that help win a game of football against a top class side - were evident.
"We can't rest on our laurels. The lads know that this could be a start but if we don't go and present ourselves (again) then the win over Rovers was a waste. We've set standards so we have to maintain them now."
Derry City v St Patrick's Athletic, Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, 5.45pm (live on WatchLOI)
Both sides enjoyed wins on Friday as friends and former colleagues Ruaidhri Higgins and Stephen O'Donnell face off.
The Candystripes looked like they'd have an easy night in Waterford but faced a tough second half at the RSC. Ronan Boyce ensured they came away with the points.
The Saints showed their mettle with a late win in Inchicore and defeat for Shamrock Rovers narrowed the gap to just three points.
With the top two meeting tonight, it's a chance for Pat's to make a big move.
Derry City: David Parkhouse and Danny Lafferty available again after suspension. Marc Walsh (hamstring) remains a doubt.
St Patrick's Athletic: Cian Kelly (foot) remains out but has stepped up his rehab in recent days, Darragh Burns and Jay McClelland are both nursing knee injuries.
Ruaidhri Higgins (Derry City manager): "Stevie knows the league inside out and he has brought in some fantastic players this season. They're two points off the top and they're up there for a reason.
"It's another huge test for us but we've been playing well ourselves and we will approach the game in a positive frame of mind."
Stephen O'Donnell (St Patrick's Athletic manager): "We're delighted that we got the three points (against Bohemians) but we've got no time to dwell on what was a great victory.
"Derry had a good win themselves against Waterford and they'll be buoyed by that so it should be a good game on Monday and it's one we are looking forward to."
Drogheda United v Longford Town, Head In The Game Park, 7.45pm (live on WatchLOI)
Dane Massey's injury-time goal continued the fantastic vibes around Drogheda and firmed up their position in fourth place as the made in three wins on the bounce.
While it may not come from their camp, talk could soon turn to European qualification if they maintain this form and especially with struggling Longford visiting tonight.
Town gave it their all against Sligo but were once again ruing a lack of threat up front. For all their effort and quality, they didn't look like scoring.
Failure to win since the opening day is becoming a burden. They need to change that soon.
Drogheda United: Gary Deegan is back after serving a suspension. Mark Hughes and Dinny Corcoran remain however while Hugh Douglas, Jake Hyland and Brandon Bermingham are doubts.
Longford Town: Late calls will be made on Aaron McNally, Matthew O'Brien, Aaron McCabe and Calum Warfield are all doubts. Shane Elworthy will not feature after suffering a concussion against Sligo.
Tim Clancy (Drogheda United manager): "We're not getting carried away. Every game we've been in this season has seen very little in it. We know on Monday that if we're not at it and we don't get a little bit of luck we won't get any points.
"We've been in on Sunday and we're trying to be ready again for another huge game."
Daire Doyle (Longford Town manager): "Drogheda had a last-minute winner on Friday to make it three successive wins. They've been really good this year and all credit to them. We've played them many, many times over the last few years as both of us battled to get to this level.
"We're now at this level and we feel we will give them another good game tonight. We have a number of players that can possibly come in. We may look at mixing things up a little bit. It's another game I feel we can get something from. There is no game I feel we can't something from it."
Waterford FC v Finn Harps, RSC, 7.45pm, (live on WatchLOI)
Marc Bircham was enthused by the performance of Waterford last Friday after only training for a handful of days in a fortnight because of Covid-19 issues.
It was a spirited display by the Blues, albeit one which ended in another defeat, and home games are vital if they are to pick up points.
Harps were hit by the sucker-punch from Drogheda and will be very keen to maintain their big lead on the sides in the bottom two. Defeat could see them brought back into that picture in a league of ever-changing outlooks this season.
Marc Bircham (Waterford FC manager): "I was so proud of the players on Friday. We were unlucky and if you're going to lose, you want to lose where you leave everything on the pitch. I said to them that if they keep performing as they did on Friday they will win more games than they lose. We have to carry it into the next few weeks."
Paul Hegarty (Finn Harps assistant manager): "The players know themselves (that they were unlucky). The worst case scenario was we'd get a point and then Dane Massey scores a great free-kick. That is the way it goes sometimes. It a great feeling when on one side of it and a horrible feeling of it."

The debut album by Bournemouth duo Yoofs has been one we've been looking forward to. Their single 'For Her' promised jangly indiepop. Not exactly the start of a whole new movement, but they did it well. Then came recent single 'Toy Organ' which remained in a similar realm, but added the slightest of psychedelic twists, something which led us to believe that this wasn't just another straight-up guitar-pop band after all; they may have more ideas than that, we might not get a dozen variations on the same theme. We guessed right. Both those singles are included on 'Something' and it is indeed a dozen songs long, not that that was a particularly crazy bet, it's a pretty standard length.
Those two terms, indiepop and guitar-pop, are relevant at every point here, but Yoofs do give us that welcome deviation as we journey through classic jangles and '60s-influenced pop songs, all done in a timeless indie fashion. Typical of this is 'Do You Feel The Same?'; it's one of those songs that could have been written at any point in the past 50 years, and this is a compliment, not a criticism. That psych aspect doesn't take long to appear either, with second track 'Shady Acres' sounding like the work of a band on classic independent labels such as Postcard, Sarah and even New Zealand's Flying Nun. 'It's A Secret To Everybody' combines that bedsit indie with the credible British pop/rock of Squeeze, giving us yet another dimension to their writing skills. The title-track is more classic pop; it borrows from folk, psychedelia, and the mellower parts of the back catalogues of Teenage Fanclub or the Paisley Underground movement. For other songs like this you could look to 'The First Time' (a personal favourite) or sentimental closer 'It's Been Fun' (or most of the album, frankly).
There are points on 'Something' where Yoofs take things even further, again this is a plus point. 'Deja Vu' pulls in a little blues and a little country. The result is part Simon and Garfunkel and part early Neil Young, with the laid back vocals of modern faves TV Girl. For a band who have such a loose, almost lazy vibe to them, they pull off some neat harmonies. The clipitty-clopitty 'Take It From Me' shares some of these fixtures. Musically it could be a The Mamas & the Papas cover given a modern dusting down, but the with just two voices it doesn't share that band's vocal prowess (to be fair, that could be said of pretty much any band). They delve deeper into the garage and freakbeat scenes on 'It Ain't Over ('til It's Over)'; again it's borrowed sounds, again it's a great track. 'Show Me The Money' fits the very same description, albeit in a different way. Whether or not Yoofs have actually listened to, studied or tried to replicate any of the groups mentioned above we can' tell you, but whether they have or not, it doesn't really matter when the consistency of your material is as good as this.

American Horror Story in Two Minutes (Episode: Birth)
It's time to recap Season 1, Episode 11. Next week is the season finale, although this episode really seemed like a finale. Am I right or am I right?
This one starts off in 1984 when Tate was a little boy. While playing, he ends up in the basement looking for a toy when the abortionist's freaky sewn-together baby thing tries to attack him.
The abortionist's wife (Nora) intervenes and tells Tate if her son bothers him again to close his eyes and tell him to go away and he will. Then Nora gives Tate some ghost hugs and Tate tells Nora he wishes that she was his mom.
Back to present time.
Tate finds Nora in one of the bedrooms doing what she does in every episode – crying about her damn baby. We find out that Tate got Vivien pregnant for Nora (!!). Tate tells Nora that things have changed, that he's in love with Violet now, and she can't take Vivien's baby. Nora assures him she's still taking that baby.
Later, Tate and Violet find Chad and Patrick decorating the nursery.
Hayden wants a baby too. So does Constance. Everybody be wantin' babies!
Violet is worried about her mom now that she knows Chad and Patrick are a threat to the twins. So Violet does something selfless for once and enlists the help of Constance and the psychic to get rid of them.
The psychic talks a bunch of smack about the house being evil and that each person that dies in it just fuels the house's energy. (She also senses Violet is dead and talks to her telepathically briefly.) Tate listens at the door, but the psychic wants him gone before she says anything else. Once Tate leaves, she tells Violet that she needs to get an important personal belonging from each ghost, burn those items, and say a specific word to make them vanish.
Tate tries to help Violet out by stealing Patrick's ring using the old I'll-seduce-you-so-you-will-beat-me-up-and-I-can-get-close-enough-to-take-your-ring maneuver. The seduction didn't work, but the ass-kicking did. Patrick got pissed at Tate for killing him and making him spend eternity with Chad. Chad overhears Patrick and now he doesn't want those babies so much anymore. So finicky! Tate still got the ring.
Afterwards, Chad finds Violet burning his watch in the basement. When Violet sees him, she says the magic word given to her by the psychic and it doesn't work. So Chad takes the opportunity to mock her and then tell her that Tate killed both him and Patrick and raped her mother. Ouch.
Ben wants Violet to accompany him to the hospital while they pick up Vivien. Violet pleads with Ben that she can't go but he drags her to the car anyway.
As he drives off, she disappears from the back seat. And Ben is still oblivious.
At the hospital, while Vivien is being discharged, the doctor tells Ben that Vivien may need an emergency C-section because one of the babies is growing much faster and taking all the nutrients from the other baby. He's ready to be born now. Vivien just wants to hop a plane to Florida to get away from the house and have the babies there.
Ben reluctantly agrees with Vivien, so they drive to the house to pick up Violet to get the eff outta Dodge. Vivien waits in the car while Ben confronts Violet on why she didn't go to the hospital and she finally tells him that she's dead and can't leave the house. Then, Vivien goes into labor.
(I want you to know how hard it was not to put a caption on that picture.)
Constance shows up while she's getting out of the car and brings her into the house against her wishes. Then, all the medically inclined ghosts show up to help her give birth. While Ben thinks this is weird, Constance assures him that the house is trying to help them and to let it happen.
After a lot of screaming on Vivien's part and freaking out on Ben's part, the first smaller baby is stillborn.
Nora swoops in and cradles that one like she's won the baby jackpot.
Finally, the second (evil?) baby is born. Constance swoops in and takes her grandson. After the evil baby is born, Vivien starts hemorrhaging. Ben begs her to stay with him and tells her they can be happy again. Violet begs her to let go so they can be together in the afterlife. So she does. And Ben is left alone in the world of the living.
After Vivien dies, Violet finds Tate upstairs in her bedroom. She confronts him about all the horrible things he's done. He tells her that he's changed since they've met, while doing some grade A tug-at-your-heart-strings crying. Violet tells Tate she knows he's changed, that she loves him, but they can never be together. Then she screams for him to go away and he disappears.
And in a touching scene, Vivien witnesses the exchange between Violet and Tate and tells her how brave she was to stand up to him. Violet apologizes to her mom because she lost her baby and Vivien tells her she hasn't lost her baby. Then they hug it out ghost-style.

A Victorian, carved beechwood breadboard. This is quite a large board and it dates from c.1850. The border is deeply carved with wheat but in addition it has four small panels which are carved with ivy. This is quite an unusual design. The carving is very detailed but it is also quite worn. There is some chipping to the rim of the board but other than that it is in good condition. The wood has a most attractive, golden colour and patination.

chart-title,
.chart-title-value {
  font-size: 18px;
}

in the HTML file, (progress-panel.component.html) I am using the ngClass directive.

       {{ campaign.breakdown.total | pcCurrency }}
     / {{ campaign.budget | pcCurrency }}

however it is throwing some errors that i can see
compiler.js:485 Uncaught Error: Template parse errors:

appreciate it if you can help
thank you

A: Your syntax is wrong:

     {{ campaign.breakdown.total | pcCurrency }}
     / {{ campaign.budget | pcCurrency }}

will work.
But it is very odd you are not just using the css class html sector instead aka

     {{ campaign.breakdown.total | pcCurrency }}
     / {{ campaign.budget | pcCurrency }}

I tend to only use the ngClass when i want to set stuff depending on component values aka
<some-element [ngClass]="{'first': componentVariableBoolean, 'second': componentVariableBoolean}">...</some-element>

A: Use [ngClass]="chart-title-value text-right" instead of  [ngClass]="{'chart-title-value' , 'text-right'}"

We were lucky enough to be at a Sports Dinner tonight with none other than Geordie legend, Nolberto Solano, not 'with' him you understand, just watching. "Nobby" was in fine form as he faced questions from ex Newcastle player Joe Allen ranging from his feelings on the current situation at the 'Toon,' why Bobby Robson sold him and the effect of foreign players in our game. It was then the audiences' turn to throw some questions at Solano and of course, these questions were a tad meatier than Joe's, fortunately Nobby had an answer for everything.
Despite gasps from the audience Nolberto Solano described that he and Dyer were essential to Newcastle midfield and that they had a perfect understanding with each other, which he attributes as much to Dyer as himself, crazy to think that a MR.Shearer was in that side.
Titus Shambles – lest we forget.
That was as brutal as the Peruvian was going to get but he still called Titus out, despite the crowd shouting Shola at him, to be fair to him, it must be tough deciding between Titus and Shola.
Solano was close to the Dyer and Bowyer fight on the pitch during his Aston Villa sides' game against Newcastle, he told us it was the crazy thing he's seen on a pitch, he said he was shocked but went on to tell us that when he re-signed for Newcastle that Dyer and Bowyer were the best of friends.
Nolberto Solano's desire now is to get into management, his coaching badges are complete and he's looking for an English job, he was asked if he was up for the Hartlepool job but he said he had no particular club in mind. The night was great, the man has sheer class and genuinely loves the game, despite his strange view on Kieron Dyer he is still a legend of the game.
Nobby is surely one of the most underrated winger to have ever graced the English Premier League. What's your favourite Nolberto Solano memory?

"The Effectiveness of an Adaptive Serious Game for Digital Logic Design" by Ying Tang, Kauser Jahan et al.
Most students benefit more deeply from guided learning than discovery learning. Even so, not all students are alike. Our research contention is that offering differentiated instructions that better fit students' educational needs in a narrative virtual reality (VR) environment will give them renewed hope for learning success. This paper presents such a development that augments an existing learning game, Gridlock, with an adaptive learning engine that assesses what really happens when a student's capacity is sabotaged in problem solving and to provide the help that is tailored to his/her needs. The game was deployed in a Computer Architecture course at Rowan as a replacement to the traditional laboratory experiments. Its thorough assessment confirms the values of the game in promoting student learning.

What's in chocolate that makes you happier? The stimulant effect of chocolate is due to a combination of theobromine, theophylline and caffeine. Theobromine has been identified as one of the compounds contributing to chocolate's reputed role as an aphrodisiac.
Caffeine is naturally found in coffee, tea, and to a lesser degree – in cocoa or chocolate (however, by weight, dark chocolate has one to two times the amount caffeine as coffee: 80–160mg per 100g). Caffeine is included in many soft drinks, and mostly because of that it is the world's most widely used psychoactive drug and by far the most common stimulant. In North America, 90% of adults consume caffeine daily.
Chocolate is good not only for your mood but for your general health. A 100 gram serving of milk chocolate contains 59% of carbohydrates (52% as sugar and 3% as dietary fiber), 30% fat and 8% protein and supplies 540 calories. Raw chocolate is high in cocoa butter, a fat which is removed during chocolate refining, then added back in varying proportions during the manufacturing process. Manufacturers may add other fats, sugars, and milk as well, all of which increase the caloric content of chocolate. Approximately 65% of the fat is saturated, composed mainly of palmitic acid and stearic acid.
Chocolate has over 19% of the Daily Value of riboflavin, vitamin B12 and the dietary minerals – manganese, phosphorus and zinc; and 10-19% of the Daily Value of calcium, magnesium and iron. It also contains polyphenols, especially catechins and flavonoids. Flavonoids are important antioxidants, and promote a number of health benefits.
Excessive consumption of large quantities of any energy-rich food, such as chocolate, without a corresponding increase in activity to expend the associated calories, can increase the risk of weight gain and possibly obesity.
Chocolate and cocoa contain moderate to high amounts of oxalate, which may increase risk for kidney stones.
During cultivation and production, chocolate may absorb lead from the environment. Some studies from 2014 indicate that "chocolate might be a significant source" of lead ingestion for children if consumption is high [1, 2].

Omega Piscium (ω Psc / 28 Piscium / HD 224617) es la tercera estrella más brillante de la constelación de Piscis a pesar de ostentar la denominación de Bayer «Omega», vigesimocuarta y última letra del alfabeto griego. De magnitud aparente +4,03, se encuentra a 106 años luz de distancia del sistema solar.

Omega Piscium está clasificada como una estrella subgigante blanco-amarilla brillante de tipo espectral F4IV cuya temperatura superficial es de aproximadamente 6600 K. Puede ser o no una estrella binaria cuyas componentes están próximas entre sí. Variaciones en su espectro llevaron a pensar inicialmente que se trataba de una binaria espectroscópica con un período de 2,16 días. Sin embargo, posteriormente se adujo que las variaciones provienen de la variabilidad intrínseca de la estrella.

Si Omega Piscium no tiene compañera estelar, su luminosidad equivale a 20 veces la del Sol, con una masa un 80 % mayor que la masa solar.
Por el contrario, si fuese un sistema binario, sus tipos espectrales podrían ser F2 y F6, con masas en torno a 1,6 masas solares.
La medida de su velocidad de rotación proyectada da un valor de 40 km/s y su edad se estima en 1200 millones de años.

DPH Reports on Job-related Injuries Leading to Opioid Misuse
By BusinessWest Staff August 9, 2018 991
BOSTON — The rate of fatal opioid overdoses varied significantly by industry and occupation from 2011 to 2015, with construction workers dying from opioid overdoses at six times the average rate for all Massachusetts workers, according to a report released by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH).
Using available death-certificate data, DPH analyzed 4,302 opioid-related deaths in Massachusetts from 2011 to 2015 by industry and occupation to understand whether work, and specifically work-related injuries, might have contributed to opioid-use disorders.
Overall, workers employed in occupations known to have high rates of work-related injuries had higher rates of fatal opioid overdoses. In addition, workers in occupations with lower rates of paid sick leave and higher job insecurity had higher rates of opioid overdoses. Construction and extraction workers (quarrying and mining) accounted for more than 24% of all opioid-related deaths among the working population. This occupation group had a high death rate — 150.6 deaths per 100,000 workers — and a high number of opioid-related deaths — 1,096 — during this time period.
"These findings are significant because they identify the industries and occupations where strategies can be developed to intervene before injuries occur," said Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders. "The Baker-Polito administration uses data to identify the highest risk in order to develop specific services to mitigate these trends."
Despite the small number of workers employed in the farming, fishing, and forestry occupations, these jobs also had a high opioid death rate. While there were fewer deaths among this group (61) than in the construction occupations, the rate of opioid-related deaths — 143.9 per 100,000 workers — was more than five times the average rate of 25.1 per 100,000 for Massachusetts workers.
"Work-related injuries often serve as the initiation for opioid pain medication, which can subsequently lead to opioid misuse," said Public Health Commissioner Dr. Monica Bharel. "Ensuring that jobs are safe, that the risk of injury is low, and that workers have the time for rehabilitation and are not self-medicating to keep working are all key to decreasing opioid overdose deaths among workers."
Several other occupations also had rates of opioid-related overdose deaths that were significantly higher than the average rate for all Massachusetts workers. These included jobs in material moving; installation, maintenance, and repair; transportation; production; food preparation and serving; building and grounds cleaning and maintenance; and healthcare support.
Similar to findings for all opioid-related overdose deaths in Massachusetts, the majority — 77.3% — of deaths in this study were among males. However, there were several occupation groups where females had significantly elevated rates of opioid-related overdose deaths, particularly healthcare support and food preparation and serving.

Builders' body vows to oppose corruption in Chennai
The developers' body has been raising concerns about corruption in the building plan approval process for some time, but this is the first time that the organization is confronting the Chennai administration openly on the issue of corruption.TNN | April 19, 2016, 12:00 IST
CHENNAI: Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Association of India (Credai) Chennai chapter has called for increasing ease and reducing cost of doing business in the state. The developers' body has been raising concerns about corruption in the building plan approval process for some time, but this is the first time that the organization is confronting the state administration openly on the issue of corruption.
Unveiling a vision document for Credai for the next 10 years, the newly-appointed president of Credai Chennai, Suresh Krishn said on Sunday that his organisation had set tall benchmarks with its path-breaking and innovative initiatives like introducing ethical code of conduct and transparency in functioning of developers in the past.
The five-point vision agenda also calls for ensuring unity among the members, ensuring that every prospective home buyer buys from Credai members, policy-level intervention for betterment of the city and building Credai as a premium brand. Credai's new motto, 'Buy with trust, live with confidence,' would go a long way in achieving the goals, he said.
"Over the next 10 years, Credai Chennai will work towards reducing material and operating costs by optimizing operating procedures and ensuring government policies act more as an aid for our business rather than hurdles. We will work in unison with the government authorities and formulate a harmonious environment where we make every effort towards the betterment of the city," said Krishn.
Calling upon the members to work unitedly, he said the organization would step in to negotiate with raw material suppliers, consultants and even non-banking financial institutions to bring down cost of operation at every level for every member.
Credai would set up a material testing laboratory in association with Anna
University and King Institute to test new technologies and would update all members on the latest technological innovations in the field of construction and design, he said.
Credai national president Getamber Anand called upon the members to stay united to fight for their rights. Noting that the Union government had granted virtually every demand raised by the developer community in the recent budget, he said best practices would help the sector overcome hiccups caused by the market condition.

Thought I'd share this before and after of my hair just for fun. I knew I wanted to go blonder so, taking my own advice, I scavenged pinterest for really soft blondes– beige and ash tones– and text all my favorite pictures to my colorist before our appointment, so that he knew what the plan was.I love natural, pretty, blonde hair that looks like maaaaaybe my hair popped out that color after a week in the sun. The concept of highlighting my hair up to my roots is dead to me (so much work and so much upkeep!), so we landed on a really beautiful sombré (aka a subtle ombré– nothing that looks like i dip dyed the bottom half of my hair in bleach) and I am so happy with how well it blends.

Backcountry Hunters and Anglers: Urge delegation to pass Blackfoot-Clearwater act
By Lou BahinSeptember 10, 2019
September 10, 2019 By Missoula Current
The Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act (S. 1765) represents the best of Montana politics: collaborative, consensus-based policy intended to benefit everyone who lives and recreates in the Blackfoot River watershed.
Diverse stakeholder groups have spent years creating a comprehensive plan for one of the most productive and storied landscapes in all of Montana. I will note that the BCSA's incredibly broad base of support – ranchers, timber companies, hunters, anglers, conservation groups, off-road enthusiasts and die-hard wilderness advocates – is rarely found in our era of partisan squabbling.
The BCSA has a lot to offer, and at last count, more than 73 percent of our citizens support it. Try finding another piece of significant legislation supported by three in four voters in this day and age.
That stunning statistic reflects the numerous benefits that a comprehensive policy for the Blackfoot's public lands would provide to stakeholder groups in the region. The BCSA allocates ample opportunity for agricultural enterprise, timber harvest and off-road recreational pursuits like snowmobiling and cycling, while also safeguarding 79,000 acres of wilderness in the Lolo National Forest.
As a Montanan, I'm proud to have determined conservation champions who campaign for our public lands while supporting our outdoor economy. Along with the men and women who have stewarded the creation of the BCSA for more than a decade, Sen. Jon Tester has persevered to ask Congress to protect the public lands of the Blackfoot watershed. As the bill's sponsor, he has repeatedly gone to bat to move this legislation forward, in recognition of the incredible support Montanans have expressed for the bill.
As an avid outdoorsman, my fondest memories are of teaching my sons to fly fish on the North Fork, hiking to pristine mountain lakes overlooking the Clearwater, and enjoying the wildlife and quiet places from Ovando to Lincoln. Anyone who has experienced the beauty and solitude of this area knows that we need swift and effective protections for these lands and waters so that the same experiences will be available to our children. The elk, deer, bear, waterfowl, bull trout and Westslope cutthroat populations that abound in this watershed deserve the security and habitat that this legislation will provide.
What can you do? Montanans must step up to ask Congress to pass the BCSA. We need the other two members of the Montana delegation to unite with Sen. Tester and act on behalf of Montanans by advocating for this legislation.
Please join me and the Montana Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers in asking Sen. Steve Daines and Rep. Greg Gianforte to support the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act. This proposal is a model for how we get things done in Montana — let's persuade Sen. Daines and Rep. Gianforte to get on board.
Lou Bahin is a Board Member for the Montana Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers. He bikes, hunts, forages, fishes and camps in the Blackfoot. He lives with his wife, Lila, in Missoula.

If you agree, that's nice, but if you disagree, that's interesting!
How speedrunning actually works
Admin November 28, 2017 February 6, 2018 No Comments on How speedrunning actually works
Today, I'm going to write about a topic that I enjoy and participate in, Speedrunning. Many people have no idea what it is, and most people who know about it have misconceptions or straight out false information about it, so I will try to clear it up a bit. I will also try to make it interesting for complete newcomers, but I can't promise anything. If you don't like it, I can't really change that.
Speedrunning refers to the practice of playing a video game with the goal of completing it as quickly as possible.
Since it is not widely recognized as an e-sport, the requirements and rules of speedruns are decided by the community of the game being speedrunned (speedran?), which often severely differ from one to the other.
I have been very interested in speedruns for years now, and even practiced it myself a little bit, specifically Valve games like the Half-Life and Portal series. I, for one, think speedruns are usually very entertaining. They are often a slap in the face, usually when it is on a game that you actually had trouble completing, and then you watch the speedrun and see just how easy the speedrunner makes it look, but either way it's fun. Just like you might enjoy watching professionals play a sport you also play more than an unrelated sport.
But speedrunning is a practice that also attracts a lot of hate. First of all, as mentioned before, the community decides the rules. If you watched many Zelda speedruns, then went to watch a Doom speedrun, you might instantly think it is not legit because it did not use the same rules as you are used to. This, especially in Youtube comment sections, leads to arguments that are often full of insults and contain very little actual points.
Most of those arguments can be explained with the fact that at least one of the people involved isn't aware of the categories.
In a game, when a specific action can be both easily avoided and easily used to drastically lower the time to completion, you usually see a category split. For example, some single player games allow arbitrary save points, which mean you can save whenever and wherever you want, and load saved games any time. This allows for "Segmented" speedruns, which consists in playing a specific segment (you choose start and end point) lots of times until you get the best time you can, then you use that "best time" save point (at the end) to start the next segment, then retry this one many times, etc. At the end, you put together the recordings of the segments, which technically consist in a unbroken chain of playtime using totally legit save points. This is technically legit, but also makes you spend much more time playing than what viewers see, so some people can hate those speedruns. This leads to a split, where the "Segmented" and "Single-segment" categories are created. Segmented speedrun are faster, while single-segment usually require more skill to get comparable results (since you have to start over from the beginning to correct any mistake). People who played games with fixed checkpoints might not be aware of that, and think that an external software was used to cheat and created the segments.
Speedruns are also very prone to use glitches in an attempt to attain the optimal time.
If you are not familiar with the concept of glitches, here is an explanation
Every glitch is a bug, but not every bug is a glitch. A bug is anything and everything that result from a computer program behaving differently than expected by the creators. This goes from visual bugs, where a texture might be missing, to crash bugs, where doing a specific action crashes the entire game.
A glitch is a specific type of bug, from which the program can and will recover by itself with no long term negative consequences. In the context of speedrunning, a glitch is basically anything that can be used to the player's advantage to save time, that was not intended in the gameplay by the developers. Of course, without directly asking them, it can be hard to know if something was intended or not, so when you are not sure, the community will decide.
Examples of glitches might be incredible things, like using objects a certain way to go through a wall, then play the map from the outside to avoid all obstacles, but also very little things like a 1% increase in speed when moving towards a specific direction due to the physics engine prioritizing some calculations. Some calculations may rely on the fps (frame per second) value, so intentionally creating lag can actually make the speedrunning faster in some cases.
The problem is, some glitches simply go too far. For example, in Portal, there is an easy to use glitch involving the Portal gun that allows you to go through walls in pretty much any map, and play all of it from the outside, skipping all the puzzles completely. Combined with the whole point of the portal gun, which allows you to instantly move from a point to another provided you have vision (which you always have from the outside of the maps), makes for ridiculously short speedruns.
If a glitch is powerful enough to completely change a speedrun by its usage, like the Portal one, where a speedrun using it will have nothing in common with a speedrun not using it, and possible to ban with a clean-cut description, then it will usually also result in a category split. In Portal, this is achieved with the categories OoB and No-OoB, which mean Out of Bounds and no Out of Bounds. One category is allowed to leave the bounds of the maps, as long as it is done without cheats, while the other is confined to them.
Many games have only such clean-cut glitches, therefore there exists a category "glitchless", where the game is played exactly as intended, but fast.
But many games also have very vague glitches. On the Half-Life engine, as with many other first person shooter games, Bunnyhopping is possible.
If you are not familiar with the concept of bunnyhopping, here is an explanation
On some physics engines, there is friction with the ground when you are touching it, and movement is acceleration. At a certain point, the friction equals the acceleration, so you reach the maximum running speed. When you are in the air, there is no friction, so technically no maximum running speed. The acceleration is often much weaker or inexistant in the air, so you cannot simply jump to go fast.
But many such engines also treat player rotation in a special way, in order to keep the camera (the eyes) centered in the rotation even though it is not centered with the player collision model, so there is a small 3D space movement during rotations to compensate. In Half-Life, and similar games, this allows for movement in the air, and therefore obtaining speed while in mid-air, which is not lost due to friction.
In those games, if you move your mouse to rotate the right way in the air, combined with pressing the correct directional keys, moving in "S" shape patterns instead of straight lines will make you gain mid-air speed, with no maximum. If you jump as soon as you touch the ground, spending the minimum of one frame touching the ground, you will get absolutely minimal friction, and can then achieve greater and greater speeds as long as you keep hopping. This is called bunnyhopping. The exact way to perform it, and the speed increase, changes from game to game, but it is called the same.
Bunnyhopping is pretty much impossible to ban as a glitch. You can't ban jumping, because most games become impossible to complete, and you can't ban air rotation either, because it would require players to always let go of their mouse when jumping, which is completely impractical. This glitch is a total game changer, yet unbannable because it is only a very optimal way of performing unbannable actions. On any comment section of a speedrun using such an unbannable glitch, you will find heated arguments from one person saying that glitches are cheats and one trying to argue that they are part of the game. This always comes with the stupid comparison "If I modify the game files to instantly spawn in the last level would you think this is legit too?".
Furthermore, some categories can be applied to pretty much any game. The TAS category, which means Tool-Assisted Speedrun, is usually split "by default". A TAS uses software outside the game to automate some or all the actions, which results in a speedrun that is played "as if" the player had absolutely perfect aim, reaction times and skill. It takes much more time to automate the game than what would normally be required to complete the game, but the end result is a speedrun that is frame-perfect, and completely unachievable by any non-perfect human. But for many people, seeing the theoretical maximum is enjoyable once, like you might enjoy watching an AI play chess against the world best chess player, even though you know for a fact that the AI will win.
This category, even though it exists "by default", is still a source of controversy. In some games, like older console games, you would require external tools to change key bindings, make save states, etc. In some other games, like Half-Life (I'm using it as an example often because I have the most experience with it), the game has in-game settings that allow you to literally rebind keys to any action, including multiple actions.
Here is an example of how it works
In Half-Life, by default, you move with the keys wasd. Key bindings work with + and -, which means that, by default, w is bound to the action "+forward". Every time you press it, it sends the action "+forward" to the game, and when you release it, it sends the action "-forward". You activate and deactivate actions like this, it is how they implemented the ability to press several keys at the same time without delay. You are also allowed to bind a key to multiple actions, which will be executed one after the other, with a maximum of one per frame. You can bind ctrl to "+duck;-duck", so pressing ctrl will quickly duck and stand back up, within the next two frames. Furthermore, there is an action called "wait", which means "do nothing for this frame".
Using this system, all in-game, you can automate specific actions as much as you want. For example, you can make a script that presses a button, then waits the optimal number of frames before starting movement to get through the opened door as soon as possible without bumping into it. Or, you can make such a binding that will continuously spam the "jump" action, which will allow you to jump instantly as soon as you touch the ground, so bunnyhopping is perfect.
Any key binding that contains more than one action is called a script. It is not technically TAS, because it is all done in-game, with no external tool. But scripting in Half-Life allows you to do many things that would be completely TAS in most other games, so this is often a source of misunderstandings. Automating the whole game using in-game scripts would be tedious and require tens of thousands of hours, so nobody has done it yet, but it would be possible. Even shorter TASes are usually done with external tools for convenience, even though doing them in-game would be possible.
You will often encounter comments calling a scripted run, even using minimal scripts, a TAS for this reason. This also created a category split between Scripted and Scriptless. For now, nobody abused scripts enough for the scripted category to split between simple scripts (perfect bunnyhopping, short perfecly timed sequences, etc) and complex scripts (abusing save/loads, automating levels, etc), because of the sheer difficulty in doing that, but there is no doubt that as soon as someone dares to spend enough time for it to become a game-breaker, another split will come to avoid abuse of casual scripting for convenience into complete TASes.
Another "default" category split would be the 100% vs Any% vs Low%. Any% category requires you to reach the end using any means necessary, which can sometime include skips of entire game portions, either through a glitch or simply because they are not needed. In Super Mario 64, you only need 70 out of the 120 available stars to challenge the Final Boss and complete the game, so Any% would only get 70 stars, while 100% would need to get all the stars including bonus objectives. In a first person shooter, 100% might refer to grabbing all items or powerups, killing all monsters, entering every map, or a combination of those. In pokemon, you might need to complete the pokedex to qualify for 100%.
Low% is usually the opposite, being complete the game as fast as possible while getting the absolute minimum number of such items required. In the previously mentioned mario game, there could be a way to kill the boss faster by getting 75 stars instead of 70, therefore Any% would go for this amount, while Low% would be required to beat him with exactly 70. As with 100%, Low% requirements vary from one game to the other, and greatly vary by game type. In Diablo, a Low% speedrun might require you to beat the final boss with the starting gear if possible, or lowest possible hero level, for example. Many games do not qualify for Low%, due to the lack of obvious skippable objectives.
Speedrunning, to an external eye, might seem like a weird hobby where people beat a game fast instead of enjoying it. But in reality, it is an extremely complex community-regulated competition of skill in very specific settings. If you ask me, it is a sport, and even a form of art. If you ask anyone not into it, I'm very weird. That alone doesn't make me wrong though.

DISNEY/PIXAR & MARVEL ANNOUNCES...
Author Topic: DISNEY/PIXAR & MARVEL ANNOUNCES... (Read 1649 times)
...A NEW HOWARD THE DUCK MOVIE!
*Waaaugh!*
In the beginning, there was... Howard the Duck, MARVEL's first comicbook movie which 25 years ago, was considered by many to be one of the worst movies ever, however, I've always loved the character from the actual comicbook because of its brilliant social commentary of American pop culture, politics and people. I'm not certain that this announcement from GeekTyrant dot com is just an elaborate April Fool's joke but I pity the fool who doesn't believe that Howard the Duck doesn't deserve a second chance to shine on the big screen.

It would be great to see Howard re-interpreted in animation. My hope is that a TV show would have the same satirical themes as took place in the original comics.. It can have all sorts of characters, especially from the comedic and nutty side of the Marvel Universe.. [the return of Obnoxio the Clown? Irving Forbush?] Howard could be Marvel/Disney's answer to The Simpsons , Futurama or Family Guy, shows that owe a certain debt to the comics.. and if The Simpsons is really ending in a few years maybe they can get Matt Groening involved.. Obviously Fox-TV has carved a niche with its Sunday shows.. who knows, maybe ABC can start their own block of shows.. pair Howard with a show based on Damage Control which satirized corporate culture and city politics in the backdrop of Marvel's NYC...

Here's a very, VERY rare Steve Gerber interview from 1975 (originally recorded on analog tape) I found on Youtube where he talks about his run writing Man-Thing and The Defenders.
What's interesting to note here is that he mentions creating the new character, whom he calls [Howard] the Duck (at 12:10) and wanting to write a new black female character named Storm (at 14:20) from the all-new, all different X-Men who we all know are mainstream right now. It's a fascinating dialogue of what's sure to come...


The Fail-To-Safe philosophy of the CRIS verification system is not complete without a precise reject system that will reliably remove fails from the product flow. Our patented reject system keeps track of product inspection pass and fail signals as products pass by the inspection point. An encoder tracks the travel of the products and enables a reject mechanism to reject the failed products at a set point.
For applications where a cylinder-style reject is untenable due to space or safety concerns, we offer an air version. Using the same precise, encoder based tracking system, the blow off reliably gets failed product off the line regardless of product speed or spacing.

Watching 'Pride' in Russia: Defying Moscow's Anti-Gay Law
The British comedy is the first gay-themed film to be released in Russia since 2013.
Vladmir Kozlov, Nick Holdsworth
Pride, a British comedy about the unlikely collaboration between striking mine workers and gay activists in Northern England in the summer of 1984, has finally made it to Russia.
The themes of gay pride, with inspirational imagery of gay men fighting against discrimination, make Pride a dangerous film in Russia. Legislation signed by President Vladimir Putin in 2013 makes "gay propaganda towards minors," defined as any positive depiction of a homosexual lifestyle to those under 18, a crime.
Since the law was adopted two years ago, anti-gay protestors have disrupted several screenings of films with LGBT themes. In late 2013, Vitaly Milonov, a St. Petersburg-based politician who was one of the principal sponsor of the anti-gay legislation, pushed for a boycott of Cannes winner Blue is the Warmest Color, the last LGBT film to screen on general release in Russia.
'Pride': Cannes Review
Before Pride, that is. Sam Klebanov, co-founder of independent distributor Arthouse, said he was determined to get the film into Russian cinemas.
"It's really cool to show the film in Russia which boldly goes against the grain of the official homophobic propaganda and does it in such playful and heart-warming way," he says. "At the Moscow premiere, people were ecstatic. They gave it a big ovation."
To comply with the Russian "anti-propaganda" law, Pride had to be rated 18–plus, the most restrictive rating for local theatrical release. In comparison, Pride was rated 15-plus in the U.K. and received an R rating from the MPAA. Elsewhere in Europe, the film was released as a 6-plus, the equivalent of a PG rating.
Arthouse CEO Yan Vizinberg said the tipping point for the company in bringing Pride to Russia was the U.S. Supreme Court ruling making same-sex marriage legal across the country.
"The topic (of gay rights) is white-hot right now," Vinzinberg said. "As the Western world is becoming more liberal about same-sex marriage, Russia is rolling back to the dark ages with its anti-gay propaganda law."
'Blue Is the Warmest Color' Attacked in Russia Under Gay Propaganda Law
So far the film's release had gone smoothly without any protests.
"So far we've had no trouble with the film," says Vinzinberg. "Apart from some angry comments on social media from the people who haven't seen it. The reactions from the people who actually have seen the film are overwhelmingly positive."
That was definitely the case at the afternoon screening of Pride that The Hollywood Reporter checked out at a theater in central Moscow.
"I didn't come to see the film because of its gay theme," said Tatiana, a woman in her mid-50s. "I just thought it could be interesting, and it actually was, and quite funny."
Other viewers, however, declined to talk to THR, suggesting being loud and proud about gay rights is still a risky proposition here.
And while the film has been released, the restrictive rating appears to be impacting the box office. There were only two dozen people at the afternoon screening in Moscow, in a 165-seat-theater. On its first weekend, Pride grossed just $4,100 in 16 theaters across seven Russian cities.
Despite that, Klebanov said Arthouse will continue its roll out, and plans to add another seven cities soon.
"It's an amazing film, which makes people feel good," said Klebanov. "And the Russian audience needs it more than ever."

Spring is around the corner, making it the perfect time to freshen up your decor. One of the elements of a great spring design is using botanicals. As a life force and source of beauty, adding flora to a space in any form offers vitality and freshness.
Lacking a green thumb? Luckily, there are a number of ways to incorporate Nature's decor that don't involve watering or fertilizing. Here are some of our favorite ways to liven up your home design!
Soft furnishings made from floral or leafy prints can infuse a design with natural beauty. Select from curtains, bedding or accent throw pillows to offer softness and interesting patterns.
From vintage designs you may have seen in your grandmother's kitchen to current modern, subtle prints appropriate in just about anywhere, wall coverings are a wonderful way to introduce botanicals into your home. For bolder accents, consider over-sized bouquets to set the room's style.
A simple way to give plants a place in your interior design is to opt for paintings, photography, or framed dried flowers to hang on walls. Botanical Artists is a good place to start.
Simulate stepping on a bed of leaves or curling vines and blooms. Floral rug patterns are a beautiful focal point in a room, while anchoring distinct living areas.
There are other botanically inspired items of decor that accessorize naturally. Certainly, there is nothing like the breathing tree plant, hanging fern, or succulents in funky faceted terrariums as seen in this NY loft to bring a space to life. For ease, be mindful of selecting low-maintenance indoor plants.
Whatever form you choose, make using botanical influenced decor an essential element to your interior design. It's always the needed piece that brings a room together.
Written by Christine Martin, Decorilla's creative design expert. Her favorite indoor plant is Lucky Bamboo in a vase; unfussy, lovely, and who doesn't like luck in their home?

Pitt men's basketball survived a Delaware State comeback Tuesday attempt to avoid losing to a team without a Division I win this year.
The Panthers (7-5) had doubled the Hornets (2-11) by halftime and led by as many as 27, but won by just six, with final score of 74-68 at the Peterson Events Center.
Redshirt senior guard Jonathan Milligan and junior forward Jared Wilson-Frame lead the Panthers with 13 points each. First-year guard Shamile Stevenson lead Pitt with 7 rebounds while Wilson-Frame added 6 more.
Pitt pulled out to a big lead early, thanks to solid shooting, going 56 percent from the field and holding the Hornets to just 28 percent. Though Pitt turned the ball over 12 times, Delaware State failed to capitalize on many of the chances.
The shooting percentages flipped in the second half, with Pitt sinking to just 28 percent and Delaware State shooting 57 percent.
The Hornets came out of the half strong, cutting the deficit to ten midway through the second half. With 22 seconds remaining, Pitt was up just two before a series of free throws sealed the victory.
