A series of three well-attended rallies — for the Women's March, for the Affordable Care Act, and against the travel ban — suggests Boston residents have embraced a modern sort of rebellion among the winding streets where the Founding Fathers walked. We talked to the mayor — the son of Irish immigrants himself — about where this revolutionary spirit is coming from.
MTV News: You were one of the mayors who came forward right after the travel ban was announced and said that you and your city would be doing whatever you could to resist.
Walsh: The U.S. Conference of Mayors had a meeting in Washington two days before the new president got sworn in. The U.S. Conference of Mayors is made up by a bipartisan group from all over the country: big cities, small cities, middle[-sized] cities, all over the country. We focused on three areas of concern. One was the Affordable Care Act and how that would have consequences on our cities and our budgets. The second was climate change and global warming. ... The third was immigration.
Fast forward to the day the executive order came out. We put together a press conference in about 35 minutes where we invited all immigrants who worked for the city and all first-generation [employees] who worked for the city to join me. I started to explain who we are as a city. [Our] strength is really our diversity. The numbers in Boston — I think we have 27 percent foreign-born who live in our city. Fifty-one percent are first-generation, who live in our city. Three-quarters of our city are either first-generation or immigrants.
Was there anything else that prepared you to take action against the ban?
Walsh: During the presidential campaign, I visited a lot of schools. What kept occurring to me is that young kids in our system — first grade, second grade, third grade — I noticed that there was something different, that there was fear there. The teachers were hearing it, the principals were hearing it. I just feel that it's the wrong approach, putting fear in people and uncertainty.
Many of the people who are here came from far worse situations — countries that were torn apart, through war or terrorism or poverty. The majority of people who come to America come for a better life, just like the Italians, the Jews, the Irish, and the Polish did in generations before. A lot of the Irish came here back in the turn of the 19th to the 20th century because there were no opportunities and no options at home for them. There were no jobs and there was extreme poverty. They came here to be able to send money back home. So I felt that — this didn't bubble up, per se, maybe it did during the campaign and it just came out after the president got elected and he did the executive order — it was just wrong.
The majority of people who come to America come to America for a better life for their family.
Boston does not have a history of racial harmony, however.
Walsh: No. Our cases have been more public than other places. Clearly, I think that there have been racial problems in America for a long time. I still think that, particularly during the second half of the Obama presidency, there has been a lot of emotion, a lot of feeling stirred up. When I ran for mayor, I promised a conversation on race. You can't really move forward if you don't heal the past and identify and address the fact that you had a problem and in some cases still have issues. That has to be dealt with.
Do you think that the executive orders and actions that the president is taking might be something that helps brings Boston together?
Walsh: In some ways it might, but I'm [more] afraid it's going to tear our country apart. I was at a mosque last night, the Boston Islamic Center. I was talking about the differences in people, and even though we all might have differences, there's commonality in the sense [that] people are hard-working, people want to raise a family, people want to put a roof over their head, people want to put food on their table, people want good things for their children. That's what American values and ideals are all about: We can come here and be different and celebrate different faiths and be OK with that. I'm worried about what the long-term effects are going to be in some of these [executive] actions. And it's not just actions. It's also followed up by very harsh, hateful comments in a lot of places.
One of the reasons I wanted to talk to you is because the MTV readership is young people all over the country who tend to have progressive social views, but they're not necessarily in blue states. A lot of them are in blue cities. You're in a blue city in a blue state. But they're seeing the same stuff and they can feel pretty powerless.
Walsh: No, they are powerful. They have to reach out to their elected officials. They have to put it on them. They have to talk to them about this. They have to express their concerns. I think that in this past presidential election, people said that there was a silent vote out there for Trump that was so disgruntled. That doesn't mean [you] turn into that silent group. Turn into that vocal group. Get out there. Hold your elected officials accountable.
And you hear from millennials, right? There are voices that you hear that are making a difference to you, I imagine?
Walsh: Absolutely. The millennial that lives in a very red state might not even realize that their congressman thinks that they have no constituents that feel the opposite of what the president or they are doing. This is the time to step up and push back.
What's this been like for you personally?
Walsh: When I ran for mayor, one of the strengths I had that I think that the other candidates didn't have is the recovery side of this, for me. [Editor's note: Walsh is in recovery from alcoholism, and has been 21 years sober.] I truly do live my life a day at a time. When I talk to people trying to get through anything, it's a day at a time. If people stop to think, "It's going to be potentially three years and 10 months for the new president to come in," that's a very long time and that can have major effects on somebody's psyche. But if you take this thing a day at a time, and break it down a little differently, and do what you can do today, it will make it easier for people to move forward, and it makes it easier for me to move forward.
Walsh: There's a healing process in recovery, and part of this is about recovery. Part of it is identifying that there is an issue, part of it is confronting the problem, and part of it is changing the way that you live. I think that part of what we're going through today is we're confronting a problem. Eventually, we're going to have to change the way that we do things. I'm saying that in a positive way. As Americans, we took things for granted a little bit here.
I love the concept of trying to apply these principles of recovery to what we're going through right now.
Walsh: When somebody in recovery goes to a meeting, they go to a meeting to get support and to be with other people that are in similar situations or who have gone through similar situations. I think that can be equated to some of the rallies that are happening around the country where people are coming out. They're all in the same situation. They're not really sure what to do, but there's this support out there.
Do you have any other things you're worried about? Or things beyond the immigration issue that you feel like, as mayor, you're going to step up on?
Walsh: The Affordable Care Act is a huge problem. [Repealing the ACA is] going to have huge implications. We have millennials that live in our city that are on their parents' health insurance. The businesses have hired them and have been able to hire more people because they have been able to be on their own health insurance. We have seniors in our city who have preexisting conditions, or something called a "donut hole," which is a prescription drug [gap] in Medicare. Whatever changes they make could have detrimental effects on people's health care, but also on the economy. We're very involved and concerned about that.
It's the cities that are going to have to pick up the slack if the ACA goes away and people start using emergency rooms as their primary care.
Walsh: Yeah, we will go back to a big problem. It will affect the state budget in the $1 billion [range]. It will affect the city budget in the tens of millions if not hundreds of millions. There are implications that run deep. Boston's just one piece of it.
If you go around the country and you talk to mayors with community hospitals in their neighborhoods, they're going to say, "Wait a second, the community hospital has not only gotten stronger in our neighborhood [because of the ACA], but it's an economic engine in our community whereby people get employed and helped, not just get treated both for a condition or preventative care." There's a lot more to it.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors has Republican mayors, but you all came together on these issues. Mayors see these stories that you're talking about, even if they're conservative or Republican mayors, and they see the same things that you do.
Walsh: It's our responsibility. I said last night too at the meeting that I am the mayor of Boston, I am a Democrat. But, I am not the mayor of Democratic people in Boston. I am the mayor of Democrats and Republicans, Independents, Tea Party, and the unenrolled. I am the mayor of conservatives and progressives. I am the mayor of all the different races. I am the mayor of the rich and the poor. As a mayor, I don't make my decisions based upon whether it is a "Democrat" issue. You make your decisions based upon the people you represent as a city to move our city forward. There's probably never been a more important time for mayors in America than there is right now in this country, because the people who are being targeted, and the fear that's happening out there, those people live in our cities.

Watch the Red Hot Chili Peppers live at the Egyptian Pyramids
From Babbermouth.
Last week, Nugs.net, the leading live music distribution platform for concert recordings and live streams, offered a free live stream of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS playing live from Egypt's Pyramids of Giza. This was the first time any event has been live streamed from the last-standing wonder of the ancient world.
You can now watch the entire performance below.
Brad Serling, Nugs.net founder and CEO, commented: "We've produced live streams from some exotic places like the North Pole, but never from as magical a setting as the foot of The Great Pyramid. We've been releasing live recordings from the CHILI PEPPERS for several years, so we jumped at the opportunity to broadcast the band's historic appearance in Giza."
7 Cinematics CEO Adam Paul added: "To us, this is the Super Bowl, the biggest of the big. We have trained, prepared and dreamed of an event of this magnitude for decades. It is our time and we are ready. We are truly humbled and honored to be able to show our talents on the world stage."
The concert was filmed in 4K by 7 Cinematics, directed by George Elizondo, and live streamed in FullHD via Nugs.net to the band's social media channels where fans can watch live for free. The audio recording of the show will be released at LiveChiliPeppers.com in multiple download formats ranging from MP3 to hi-resolution audio.
Bassist Flea said about the event: "My heart is abuzz with joy at the prospect of performing in Egypt. I'm so grateful and humbled for the impending experience." He continued, "The pyramids, it's unbelievable, we just jumped at the opportunity… I have always been fascinated by Egypt and that region of the world and I am so excited to go."
The CHILI PEPPERS recently played on the island of Tasmania for the first time ever, while in Australia for the band's first tour in the country in 12 years. The band also performed last month at the Grammy Awards with POST MALONE and have been working on music for their 12th studio LP.
The CHILI PEPPERS started releasing live recordings of every show they play in 2011 with Nugs.net, and have since added a handful of archival shows dating back to 2000 to LiveChiliPeppers.com.
Founded in 1997 as a fan site for downloading live music, Nugs.net has evolved into the leading source for official live music from some of the largest touring artists in the world. METALLICA, PEARL JAM, PHISH, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, Bruce Springsteen and many other artists distribute recordings of every concert they play through Nugs.net. The platform offers downloads, CDs, webcasts, and subscription streaming services, delivering exclusive live content to millions of fans daily. Nugs.net is available on iOS, Android, AppleTV, Sonos and desktop.

Investigating cell membranes: researchers develop a substance mimicking a vital membrane component
A new compound mimicking natural cholesterol in membranes of living cells (here: HeLa cells). The substance is labelled with a fluorescent dye (red). Copyright: L. Rakers et al./Cell Chem Biol
Exchange of material and information at the level of individual cells requires transport and signalling at level of the plasma membrane enclosing the cell. Studying mechanisms at such tiny dimensions presents researchers with enormous challenges – for example, when they want to find out how an important component of the membrane – cholesterol – behaves and is distributed. So far, cholesterol can only be labelled to a very limited extent with fluorescent dyes, which can be visualized under the microscope without damaging the membrane.
Researchers at the University of Münster (Germany) have now developed a method which enables them to circumvent these difficulties. They synthesized a new type of compound which has properties similar to those of cholesterol, but which can be labelled with dyes and visualized in living cells. There, the compound realistically mimics the behaviour of natural cholesterol.
"Our new approach offers enormous potential for imaging membrane dynamics in living cells," says Prof. Volker Gerke, one of the leaders of the study and Coordinator at the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence. The work is the result of an interdisciplinary study involving organic chemists, biochemists and biophysicists. The study appears in the current issue of the journal "Cell Chemical Biology".
The detailed story:
Cells in the body are enclosed in a kind of protective envelope – the plasma membrane, which separates the cell from its environment. Cells also contain internal membranes which separate the individual components of the cell from each other and regulate the movement of substances between the different "spaces". Cholesterol, a fatlike substance, is an important component of membranes ensuring that they work properly.
Synthesis of new compounds
In order to generate substances which behave similarly to natural cholesterol, the research group of organic chemists led by Prof. Frank Glorius first synthesized a series of chemical compounds. As a starting substance they used natural cholesterol, which was transformed into a certain organic salt, an imidazolium salt. "We already knew from previous studies that these salts interact well with biomolecules and are therefore suitable for cellular experiments," says Frank Glorius, who also led the study.
In order to compare the biophysical properties of the newly synthesized compounds with those of the natural cholesterol, the researchers incorporated the substances to synthetic model membranes consisting of phospholipids (these phospholipids constitute the main component of membranes).
Biochemists and Biophysicists at the Cluster of Excellence in the group of Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Galla measured, among other things, how the new substances affected the phase transition temperature of model membranes, and how they changed the fluidity in the phospholipid layer at different temperatures.
"After evaluating the data, we finally settled on three compounds which exhibited very similar properties to those of natural cholesterol," says Lena Rakers, a PhD student of Organic Chemistry and one of the two first authors of the study.
Experiments in living cells
The researchers selected these compounds in order to examine them in living cellular membranes, thereby studying them in even more complex structures. For this purpose, they used cultures of human epithelial cells – HeLa cells – as well as cells from human blood vessels, HUVEC cells. Due to their structure, the newly synthesized substances fitted well into the cellular membranes. With the aid of surface mass spectrometry, the researchers measured the molecules in the membrane and could show that the compounds behaved in a very similar way to natural cholesterol in living cells, too.
Because of its structure, one of the new substances could be labelled with fluorescent dyes. To this end, the researchers attached an azide group onto the substance. They then linked the dyes to this azide group using click chemistry – an effective method enabling molecular components to be joined on the basis of a few chemical reactions. Finally, the biochemists visualized the substance in living cells using high-resolution confocal microscopy.
In this way, they were able to observe its distribution and dynamic changes. "These analyses also showed that the novel compound behaved analogously to cellular cholesterol," says David Grill, a PhD student of Biochemistry and the other first author of the study. One great advantage of the new method is that during the entire process the components and the properties of the cellular membrane remained undamaged.
In the future the researchers want to continue developing their method and test the new substances in further cellular studies using a variety of microscopic imaging methods. One of their aims is to use click chemistry to attach fluorescent dyes and other molecules to the new compounds to eventually introduce selective changes in the membrane.
The study received financial support from the German Research Foundation (DFG), specifically through the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence and the Collaborative Research Centre 858 ("Synergistic Effects in Chemistry – From Additivity towards Cooperativity") at Münster University as well as an individual DFG grant.

Алиленгион је у Византијском царству био порески додатак за властелу на напуштена сеоска имања.

Алиленгион
Алиленгион или колективну пореску одговорност увео је византијски цар Нићифор I (802-811). Алиленгион је проистекао из епиболе, пореза који води порекло још из државе Птолемејида. Напуштено земљиште принудно је додељивано велепоседницима који су за њега плаћали епиболу. Епибола се крајем 3. века проширила на остатак Царства, а у 7/8. веку прераста у алиленгион. Алиленгион значи солидарност и представља обавезу суседа тј. чланова једне сеоске општине. Порези на напуштено или необрађено земљиште преносе се на суседе који тако стичу право на обраду тог земљишта. Власник земље постаје онај који за њу плаћа порез. Алиленгион се први пут јавља у Земљорадничком закону из времена владавине цара Јустинијана II (685-695/705-711). Цар Василије II (976-1025) око 1002. године уводи правило да алиленгион морају плаћати велепоседници за своје суседе који то нису били у стању да учине. Разлог за ову меру био је тај што су сељаци једва имали довољно производа за сопствене потребе, а камоли да плаћају и алиленгион. Последица тога је било често бежање сељака са имања што је умањивало државне приходе. Велепоседници су се бунили против ове мере. Патријарх Сергије (999-1019) молио је Василија да укине ову меру. Василије је пристао уколико однесе победу у рату са Бугарима.  Алиленгион је обезбеђивао редовна средства за Василијеве војне походе. Након завршетка рата са Бугарском, Василије је наставио ратовање на истоку, а спремао се и да освоји Сицилију. Умро је 1025. године. Алиленгион је укинуо цар Роман III Аргир (1028-1034) страхујући од велепоседника. Ова мера Романа Аргира представља крај здравог система на коме се, почев од 7. века, заснивала моћ Византијског царства.

You know what a "retweet" is but you don't know how to go about getting it for your content. This is a common dilemma faced by brand managers. Getting the desired level of engagement may seem elusive to you at a certain stage, but by following these careful rules you can turn around your campaign and have people willingly engage with your brand by retweeting your content.
Always remember: No one wants to retweet content shared by an egg! Make sure you get rid of that generic egg-shaped display picture and go for something that reflects your brand and will attract users. Your brand's logo is the safest way to go if you are stuck in a creative rut.
Your Twitter bio is as good as your identity so leaving it blank is not exactly a wise choice. Use this bio space to describe your brand and also make any mentions of other online profiles like Facebook or LinkedIn in order to prove your social media mettle.
Before you tweet you need to understand your audience completely. Unless you do there is a very low chance of it being retweeted. Get to know the kind of people who follow, or are likely to follow, your brand and use lingo that is best suited to them. Also try to include links in your tweets but definitely not in all.
Try to avoid being predictable about what you tweet. While its only 140 characters, they need to be interesting enough to read and share. Your agenda must be to tweet something that is relevant to both your brand as well as your audience.
While you are at a shortage of characters, try not to use too many abbreviations or your followers will end up getting confused. As a user I definitely do not want to retweet something that sounds strange and complicated.
In all this, don't forget to have fun! If your tweets reflect a fun element they are much more likely to appeal to your target audience.


Referred to as the visual novel for people who don't like visual novels, 428: Shibuya Scramble has the privilege of being the genre's only effort to obtain a perfect Famitsu score. If that's not intriguing another, we pose a series of question toward David Kracker, who served as localization director for Spike Chunsoft's upcoming title.
Tech-Gaming: Without veering into anything close to spoiler territory, can you provide insight into what 428: Shibuya Scramble's story is about?
David Kracker, Localization Director: The story details a single day in Shibuya, Tokyo's center of youth culture, as seen by five different protagonists. We open with a police stakeout—the daughter of a well-to-do family has been kidnapped and the criminals demand her sister make the ransom handoff in front of Shibuya station. This raises all sorts of red flags—why make the handoff at Tokyo's busiest intersection? Of course, the sting operation doesn't go as planned, and the resulting chaos brings together the lives of five individuals: ex-gang leader Achi, rookie detective Kano, rabid journalist Minorikawa, brilliant virologist Osawa, and Tama, a part-timer trapped in a cat suit.
DK: The story is told from the perspective of five characters, but the Time Chart lets you freely jump between them to see the same events from different perspectives and develop a more complete picture of the truth. I see it as more like a Coen Brother's film, where the protagonists all influence each other even if they never interact directly.
As the story progresses, you'll be given choices that affect the current character and can also have unexpected consequences on the rest of the cast. I recommend you actively make bad decisions! Dead ends can offer foreshadowing or insights into a character's motivations (and some are just fun, like the one where Tama, the cat costume mascot, becomes an internationally wanted criminal).
T-G: What about the technical aspects? Does this version offer any aesthetic advances such as widescreen support?
DK: Compared to the original Japanese release, the PlayStation 4 version uses higher resolution source assets and a redrawn UI. The improvements are small but they add up.
T-G: What influenced the decision to port the game to PS4 and PC? Was a Switch iteration ever discussed?
DK: We recently began self-publishing on Steam as an experiment. The success of our other visual novels, such as the Danganronpa and Zero Escape series, proved to us that there was a demand for similar titles in the west, so we decided to put our best foot forward with the crowning achievement of our back catalog.
T-G: What's your approach to localization? While there's a constituency of players who prefer a direct translation, often that method results in some pretty dry dialog that loses some of the nuances.
DK: I think the goal of localization is to deliver the same experience a native speaker would have in the source language. What this "experience" entails varies by title, but in the case of 428 it boils down to the characters, tone, dialog and, most importantly, the gags. There was already a strong English-language script waiting in the original text and lead translator Kevin Frane and Alexander O. Smith of Kajiya Productions did a fantastic job of adapting it.
Since (mostly) all scenes use real-world actors and locations, it was impossible to "westernize" story elements—you can't say a character is eating spaghetti when they're clearly eating soba noodles (to clarify, all scenes of spaghetti eating are presented unmodified from the original)—so I decided to embrace the Japanese-ness and introduce cultural concepts in a non-intrusive way. We did this by slipping in bits of expository text when necessary and via the TIPS system—an in-game glossary that explains terminology on the fly—so, for example, if you don't know the story of the Hachiko statue outside of Shibuya station, you can pop open the TIPS menu and learn a bit of trivia.
T-G: Anyone who has spent an extended amount of time in Tokyo begins to feel the distinctiveness of the twenty-three wards. How does 428 capture Shibuya's feel?
DK: The crowds, the energy, the way you seem to always be walking uphill—428 gives you a good idea of what it would be like to wander around Shibuya for a day. The street gangs of 428 may have moved north on the Yamanote loop line, but the feeling that anything could happen is still there.
T-G: For those, like me, who appreciate verisimilitude, how many identifiable elements of Shibuya are in the game? Obviously, the crossing is depicted by what about Hachikō, Ichi-Maru-kyu, or the Cerulean Tower?
DK: You can spot the city's landmarks in the background (how can you shoot the Scramble without including the 109 building?) but it's the small things that stood out to me. There's a scene where Achi and Hitomi cross the Shibuya River on a walkway that overlooks a canal flanked by rows of tall buildings that stretch to the horizon. When I first moved to Tokyo, I remember trying to get the perfect sunset shot at that exact spot.
T-G: 428 is the only visual novel to earn a perfect score in Famitsu. What elements do you feel resonated most with the magazine's writers?
DK: (Googles the old Famitsu Cross Review) Well, to paraphrase the original… they were taken by the interconnected storyline, brilliant sound design and comedic tempo. It's a visual novel for people who don't like visual novels.
T-G: Shibuya Scramble is the work of Koichi Nakamura, who now hold the position of Spike Chunsoft's Chairman and CEO (and was president at Chunsoft before the merger). Can we expect to see any more of Nakamura-san's efforts (such as Machi) revived?
DK: 428 is part of an adventure game brand dubbed the "Sound Novel" series for, you guessed it, their unique sound design and realistic visuals. This includes 428's predecessor, Machi: Crossroad of Destiny, as well as the horror titles Imabikiso (literally "The Searing Herbs of Hatred") and Banshee's Last Cry (which got a cellphone release in the west). Given the chance, I'd love to bring any of them to a wider audience.
For the time being, you'll have to make do with a hidden Easter egg in 428—a playable version of Door Door, Nakamura's debut title from when he was a hobbyist programmer. But you didn't hear it from me, OK?
T-G: Your secret is safe here. I'm sure no one is reading this. Thank you for your time.
and Spike-Chunsoft for their participation.
I follow most Japanese games but didn't know anything about this.
I can't afford to go to Japan for at least the next two years. These kinds of games make the waiting easier.
Go. Seriously. It's so worth it.
I have a feeling Robert loves talking about Tokyo. Don't know where I got that idea, though….
It looks cool. I hear the name but didn't know it looked like a kind of campy FMV game. That actually has me interested.
Good interview. Thanks for keeping it spoiler-free!
Nice work. I'm excited to see what the game is all about.
WEEB ALERT! Just kidding, nice work!
What's the price going to be? Physical version?
You got me right there. I'm pretty curious now.
LOL. I didn't see it or the screenshot.
No one. Definitely not me.
(good job on the scoop unless this was already known).
Looking forward to your review. I'm glad to see someone with some knowledge of Japan covering Japanese games.
Dodged that Switch version question like a pro!
More interviews with Japanese game developers.

Pursuing the first mover advantage
Anish Reddy, CEO and founder of Pursue Hard Seltzers, speaks about making a product for the Indian consumer and positioning it against the premium beer segment.
Anish Reddy, CEO and founder of Pursue Hard Seltzers felt the need to introduce a product to the market which could be a viable option for those who didn't want to consume premium beers.
You could say the pandemic was one of the causes for the launch of this product—when the first wave made Anish Reddy return to India from Miami Florida where he was working in the aviation industry.
Reddy's family own Balaji Distilleries Group, a giant in south India when it comes to producing and bottling products for both Diageo as well as USL operating nine distilleries across the southern part of the country.
Anish Reddy is the CEO and founder of Pursue, a line of hard seltzers (with alcohol content no more than five percent), which has launched recently in Goa. ET HospitalityWorld spoke with Reddy about his strategy to popularise his brand and hard seltzers, across the country.
Reddy, on arriving back in India in 2020, realised that the country did not have any hard seltzers, a beverage he was partial to, in the market, and so decided to launch his brand the plunge into the unknown. Except it wasn't so unknown as his family distilling and bottling business was one of the largest in south India.
"We wanted to go leaps and beyond—we didn't want to be a wannabe product. I really love tasting good food and beverages. I love art and design and quality ingredients—so we boiled everything down to create this product," he said, adding that everything about the brand and product from the bottle to the labels and of course the use of 100 percent pure grain, grade seven alcohol, something not very prevalent in seltzers.
"We did a combination of a primary and a secondary flavour that elevates the basics experience and refreshment of the drinker and only put out the best after 250 days of trails to find the perfect ones," he said.
Now that the product is already available in Goa and Pondicherry, Reddy has plans to quickly spread across the country. He said they would be in Karnataka by the end of January and was also keen to enter the Delhi market around the same time. Then they wanted to be in Maharashtra and were also pushing for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, he said.
And while retail was a very important part of the business plan, at their price point, Reddy was also keen to be in all the restaurants and pubs which sold premium beers. "We kind of priced ourselves against Corona and Hoegaarden. So, wherever you would find Corona and Hoegaarden, we want to be available as well. Because hard seltzer is the option C, which people didn't have before (if you take beer and wine as options A and B respectively)," he said.
"We decided that it's important that we are available at all the major pubs—but we're also available hotel rooms today, inside the mini bar. We want to target the brunches, the nightclubs and the restaurants, wherever you have good quality beers," he concluded.

Most of the artists at the convention were from Hungary (not a big shock there), but Poland, Germany, USA, Austria, Italy and several other countries were also represented at the convention. The two-day convention took place at Lurdy Haz, a shopping mall and convention centre, but during this short time I made sure to squeeze in an interview with, in my honest opinion, Hungary's best artist: the beautiful and talented Zsófia Bélteczky.
What got you into tattooing? Do you have any role models or what is your inspiration?
Art has always been very important to me and I also knew that I wanted to deal with art in my life, in my career and that was the main reason I started tattooing. I started out studying graphic design and had my first encounter with the tattoo industry in these years. I liked it and started to learn it.
Can you describe how you go about creating a tattoo, how you put your unique touch on the design?
When someone comes to me with an idea, I try to create the best options to her of his body. Because tattooing, for me, it's like painting, but on the body, so it's very important how you place the artwork. I try to use a unique design and not make the same tattoo twice. It's custom work every time. It's a basic photography or a picture, because my style is photo realistic, but the way I put it together by adding some extra background, create connections or details, makes it unique.
Have you also experimented with different styles of tattooing?
Yes, yes of course. I always try, but it's very hard because it's impossible to make all the ideas in other styles. It depends on the guest, the client, but you can't express everything in certain styles. For example in old-school style, you can't express everything with it: you have to use a style that fits the motif. I mean, if somebody wants a portrait of an animal or a person, you can use different styles, but not every style suits it and if somebody wants a landscape I can't make an old-school landscape, because it wouldn't fit the motif.
You also tattoo in England and in Germany. Is there a difference between the tattoo culture in Hungary and the rest of Europe?
I don't know… In Hungary maybe the people are more open. I haven't had the chance to work in so many countries except England and Germany, but in Hungary the people give me more freedom and a chance to express myself, they let me create my art instead of telling me exactly what they want. The tattoo will be best when I can create my art – I understand that it's not always possible with every client and with every request, but you'll get the best result when you give the artist some artistic freedom. Hungarians seem to trust me more than what the foreigners do.
Me: If they've seen your art, they should trust you!
Yes, they should, but they might think that I've made the art on request from the clients.
What would you give as an advice to someone who doesn't have a tattoo yet?
The significance of the tattoo should be more important than the picture itself. Let me use my sister as an example: she always wanted a tattoo, but she didn't know what to get. She moved to America and we didn't meet for 1 ½ year and then, when I visited her, we went to the Long Beach Convention together and for us, since we hadn't seen each other for such a long time, it was a special occasion and she decided to get her first tattoo as a memory.
What do you think a client should expect from you as a tattoo artist and how does a client and a tattoo artist collaborate to make it a successful tattoo?
I always give it my best to end up with the best result. I expect trust from the client and that they want an artwork from me. I also want the best for them (to make the best tattoo).
What criteria do you think that a tattoo convention shall have to be really successful, both for you as a tattoo artist and for the visitors?
TV shows, Internet and especially social networks like Facebook and Instagram has become an extremely widely spread phenomenon recent years. Which positive and negative impacts do you think it has for the future development of the tattoo industry?
To tell you the truth, there's no such thing as bad advertising. It's not good, it's not bad, this is just how the world is.
How has the tattoo scene in Hungary developed since you first started in the business?
Very fast, very quick. A fast paced development.
Are tattoos generally accepted in Hungary or can it be difficult for tattooed people to get job/be accepted as a husband/wife etc?
It's getting better and better. As little as five years ago I think it was more difficult, but every year there are more and more people wearing tattoos, so it's getting more accepted and easier.
That's all the time that we had before Zsófia had to get back to creating art on a client's back. If you want to book an appointment, she works at "The Tattoo Shop" in Budapest and at "Invictus Tattoo" in Berlin (see link section below tthe gallery).
Thanks for taking the time for a chat Zsófia!

The tattoos seem like scenes from a life imagined. They are like a development from gaming. I find the idea of having a tattoo of a scene projected from my desires quite a difficult concept to accommodate. I don't want to mock the people for being victims of fantasy – and it takes guts to walk around like that. I hope you don't mind me being frank: I am usually more careful with my words but this is pretty much how I feel.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts David. I don't mind people being honest, I appreciate honesty. Personally I'd love to have some of Zsófia's work on my body, she's wildly talented and creative. I'm actually considering travelling to Budapest or Berlin, so that I can get inked by her.
Thanks a lot for your feedback Kerry. I agree that Adrienn has a nice & interesting collection and yes, that's a 'My Little Pony' on her foot. Personally I don't have any photo realistic tattoos yet, but I'd love to get some from Zsófia.
Zsófia sounds like such an amazing artist dedicated to her art. Really like how she trusts her clients and her clients trusting her. Not making the same tattoo twice, that really does sound like a bit of a skill and from what I gather, she must have been doing what she's doing for a while. Great portraits of her, Cardinal. Very beautiful woman.
She's dedicated to her art that's for sure. A beautiful woman and an amazing artist.
I read the interview though I am not into skin art. I wanted to see how she managed answering your questions, and I hoped she had clients from Croatia, but we are still rather conservative I am afraid. Although I remember seeing a a tattoo parlor in my neighbourhood. Zsófia is very photogenic. Well done on both accounts!
Really interesting interview and amazing tats.
Thank you Richard. Yes, amazing tattoos. It was a nice convention. As you know I mentioned going to the convention in London later this year, but they have all these stupid rules for taking photos (which type of cameras you're allowed to bring, no flash, etc, etc), so it's possible that I'll head for the convention in Warsaw instead.


MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - A South Dakota man has been charged with manslaughter in the suffocation of his wife who prosecutors say died after her husband stuffed a sock in her mouth, fastened a belt around her head and went to sleep.
Thirty-nine-year-old James Brinker was charged Thursday in the death of 36-year-old Marie Brinker.
Court documents say Brinker awoke Tuesday to find his wife cold. Prosecutors say he left to pick up their three children, returned and had two sons go inside to call 911. He then left.
Prosecutors say Brinker wrapped his wife in a blanket, but it wasn't clear how she was otherwise restrained.
The Daily Republic reported Brinker's past included five arrests for domestic assault.
Brinker's attorney, Chris Nipe, said he had not seen reports and could not immediately comment.


The one thing I miss more than anything about being a military spouse is the friendships.
Some of them, I know I will have for life.
Some of them only lasted the length of one deployment.
Each of them, I valued for what they were and are.
There is nothing else like them.
My heart bent today. Shattered. And splintered. It had nothing to do with my husband. Nothing to do with a deployment, separation, training or school. But, it had everything to do with the Army.
I consider myself congruent with this lifestyle. I love to move. Travel. And I rarely get attached to any place, home, or person. I enjoy new views. Different homes. Redecorating and rearranging our lives. Each new home, each new back door provides a reason to reinvent myself. It gives me a chance to continue to see myself in new ways. To improve past mistakes. To search for forgiveness. To find a reason to cling to my family.
But today, I would trade it all for a chance to hold on to a friend. I didn't know her long. In fact, I only spoke with her about four times. But the genius of this lifestyle, the part I claim to love and adore, is that you need only a moment to see your pain, your love, your family, your heart, reflected in the eyes of another military wife.
She knew my pain. My separation. My fears of motherhood, and my worries that I will never be good enough. Never a good enough wife, mother, or person. And she recognized in me the need to see it in another's heart.
She had just finished a deployment. As we all have finished or face one. And she knew my pain without ever having explained it. She was me. And I her.
And I told her goodbye today. Even though everything in my body wanted to revolt against it. I wanted more. A chance to form a bond that couldn't be severed. A chance to watch our children play. To see our families grow, change, and remain cemented in each other's hearts.
Today, I still love this lifestyle, even though watching her leave hurt more deeply than I could have imagined. Simply because I can't imagine never knowing the need to grasp friendships so quickly. Strongly. And vividly.
To each military wife out there, I salute you. Need you. Feel your arms and hearts. And I love you. There are none stronger. Nor more bonded.
As military spouses we are thrown into unexpected relationships all the time. We are faced with people that in the lives that we had before we would have never even come across, and we are better for it. We make friends easily and we leave them easily. Or they leave us. Sometimes we have a few years with one another and sometimes just a few brief moments and we cherish both. Each time we are faced with a new deployment or a new PCS, we bargain. We ask for a nice home, a good unit, for our husbands not to deploy. At least for a while. We also ask for good friends and no drama.
We get what we get, and the fact of the matter is we all always offer up anything for a little easier time. For something that will relieve the stress. We would trade a nice duty station for a neighbor that becomes our life line. We would trade our whole lives for our soldiers to be able to watch their children grow in person. Bargaining allows us to try and have some control over the uncontrollable. We try to be perfect, we try to offer up behavior and bad habits, and maybe, just maybe it will be enough and we will catch a break. We want some control and sometimes we get it, but most of the time we just make it work.
As I am getting ready for another PCS I find myself wishing I could bring my neighborhood. I would offer up almost anything for these ladies. We have been through two deployments together. We play Bunco once a month and sometimes go out for margarita Wednesdays. We don't talk about the hardships. We don't console each other. We just get through it knowing that we are not alone. We take out each other's trash cans if we see that someone forgot. We watch pets for each other when our husbands come home on EML. We yell at each other's kids, and we steal whatever husband is around to help us with something that is just a boy job. Because we can.
Our spouses do not really even know one another very well but they do know that we are surrounded by people that will take care of anything that needs to be done. And that puts their minds at ease a little. We might not ask for the help but we know that it is there when or if we need it. Military wives are special. They may be as different as night and day, but to be in our club you just need to be married to a soldier. That is more than enough hazing. So, know whatever you bargained for, you will make it through with whatever you get.

Gustav Peter Franz Kampendonk (* 30. Mai 1909 in Hoengen; † 29. Juni 1966 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Drehbuchautor.

Leben
Kampendonk studierte in München, Berlin und Leipzig Zeitungswissenschaft und Kunstgeschichte. 1933 wurde er an der Universität Leipzig mit der Dissertation Die Geschichte des Krefelder Zeitungswesens von den Anfängen bis 1814. Ein Beitrag zur Presse- und Kulturgeschichte des Niederrheins zum Dr. phil. promoviert. In den 1930er Jahren schrieb er Feuilletons, 1937 betätigte er sich erstmals als Dramaturg für die UFA.

Ab 1939 schrieb er Drehbücher, darunter für den ersten deutschen Farbfilm Frauen sind doch bessere Diplomaten. Vor allem in den 1950er Jahren war Kampendonk ein produktiver Autor, der einige seiner Drehbücher auch zu Romanen adaptierte. Meist ersann er die Handlung zu Filmkomödien, Schlagerfilmen oder anderen Unterhaltungsfilmen. Lediglich im KZ-Ausbruchsfilm  Morituri (1948) und im Lustspiel Die Frauen des Herrn S. (1951) wagte er sich an zeitgeschichtliche Probleme. Mit Der Rächer schrieb er seinen einzigen Edgar-Wallace-Film. Zuletzt verfasste er 13 Folgen der Fernsehserie Polizeifunk ruft (Hauptdarsteller: Josef Dahmen und Karl-Heinz Hess).

Licensing inquiries should be sent to me at verityfreebern@gmail.com, and more information can be found on my portfolio site, verityfreebern.com.
I'm happy for you to link to this site or reproduce one of the patterns on your website as long as you include a credit and the copyright info: ©Verity Freebern.
I've had a number of people ask me if I'm concerned that my patterns will be copied without my knowledge or consent. The short answer is yes, of course–all artists worry that someone unethical will copy and profit from their work, and it does happen. However, I strongly believe that information and art should be free–not free like no money, but free like freedom. There is an organization called Creative Commons that is working to ensure that artists have their rights protected while still being able to show and promote their work. You can see the details of my Creative Commons license here.
Artists throughout history have publicly exhibited their original works, and have influenced one another and gained inspiration and insight. The ease of digital transference of information takes this public exhibition to another level, but I believe that what we gain by being able to share our ideas outweighs the risks of that sharing.
Wow! I just found you! Gorgeous work! I really love your generosity in sharing your beautiful patterns!
I am possibly considering using something of yours (not sure what yet — there's so much to look at!) for a set of anniversary invitations I'm working on for my in-laws. I haven't worked with any of them yet, but I thought I'd best check with you to make sure that this would be okay with you.
I am going to look for something that will work as a background pattern for the supplementary materials (rsvp card, etc) to kind of tie everything together.
If you would prefer that I not, it's totally okay — I'm in the beginning exploratory stages anyway — but if you don't mind, let me know! I'd be very happy, of course, to credit your site and link back from the blog….
Thanks again! You're an inspiration!
Hi I posted some of your fruits and veggie patterns on my blog but yes I added your link for your credit already. Great site, great patterns.
I'm a pixel artist, would it be alright for me to use your patterns? I'll credit you of course, and it is completely now profit, it's just a hobby of mine.
Oops! Completely non-profit, not now profit, sorry!
I love your work, it's absolutely lovely! For a school art project, I was wondering if it would be alright to use part one of your designs as inspiration and credit you on the piece of art? I will not be profiting financially in any way. Let me know!


This game is still in a concept state and by no means complete!

/**
 * Custom Line Shader Material.
 *
 * This shader is the real workhorse of the visualization. For each beacon, at
 * each timestep (that is each day) we have one vertex. Vertices are joined by
 * line segments which collectively produce the visualization when rendered.
 *
 * The vertex shader is responsible for computing three things:
 *
 *   - The final position of the vertex.
 *   - The color of the vertex.
 *   - Whether the vertex is visible.
 *
 * Computing the final position of the vertex depends on:
 *
 *   - The base position for the beacon (its initial position).
 *   - The current timestamp (for z position).
 *   - The offset position for this day.
 *   - The offset position of the current "start" timestamp.
 *   - The median cumulative offset position for this day.
 *   - The scale (for magnification of geodetic velocity).
 *
 * Some of these values are the same for all vertices (uniforms) like scale.
 * Others are unique to the vertex (attributes) like the offset position.
 *
 * Any value that needs to be the same for a large number of vertices is
 * provided as a uniform, although some of these contain a lot of data. For
 * example, looking up the offset position of the current start timestamp
 * requires a texture (sampler2D) whose texels contain values and are indexed in
 * the u and v direction by the beacon index and day index.
 *
 * The color and visiblity of the vertices are passed through to the fragment
 * shader, which is comparatively simple. All it has to do is discard the
 * fragment if either vertex of the segment is not visible, and show the
 * interpolated color.
 *
 * @param {Object} parameters Parameters to send to the Material.

"There seems to be a good forecast for tomorrow", said Shaun. "But after the incorrect one last Thursday, when Dad got soaked, I wonder if we will be walking".
"I'll go and see", volunteered Tetley.
He was soon back, and full of excitement.
"You'll be pleased Allen, as yes we are going, and Dad is taking us to Longsleddale again to climb a few tops, including Tarn Crag, which is one of your outstanding Wainwrights."
"That's great" cried Allen. "I can't wait."
Sunday dawned and we were up early. Dad got his kit together, and when we heard him taking it to the car, we rushed out and settled on the front seat, eager to be off. Shaun had been right about the weather, which for once was glorious with plenty of sunny periods, but a cool wind at times.
Through Kendal, we headed north along the A6, the old road to Scotland, then once again took the narrow road signed Longsleddale. The road is single track for most of its length to where it ends at Sadgill Bridge, some 5.5 miles. Part way, Dad had to stop at the conveniences. Had this had not been necessary, it is likely that he would not have then met the farmer in the landrover, nor the farmer with the tractor and muck spreader!! There was no option but for Dad to reverse some distance in each case, until it was possible to pass. Sadgill was our start point once again and when we arrived there was just one other car parked. Instead of crossing the bridge, we this time headed along the track seen here stretching away into the distance below Buckbarrow Crag. This leads to the Gatesgarth Pass and eventually down into Mardale & Haweswater.
From the start the views were spectacular. The air was very clear, so the fells were picked out in high definition - you can't beat the real thing! Immediately ahead on the left were the steep slopes of Goat Scar.
Allen then called out, "isn't that view back to Sadgill Bridge nice?"
"Yes", concurred Grizzly, "I think you should take it Dad."
As we strolled on, Dad met two gentlemen, who it turned out owned the other car parked at the start. They were from Birmingham, and had been overnighting at the bothy, Mosedale Cottage in Mosedale, which we had seen on that snowy walk last February with Uncle Eric from Swindale. He stopped and chatted to them for a few minutes. When Dad said we were from Morecambe, they asked about the Midland Hotel, which has just been completely restored. Dad's not been so he was not really in a position to give an informed view. Continuing we passed another group of walkers, as the path climbed, from where Dad got a nice shot of the waterfalls.
After this steeper climb the track levelled and once through the gate we reached the junction of paths. If we had continued ahead a further two miles, it would have brought us to Mardale Head and Haweswater Reservoir. However our route was right crossing the stream and on the bridleway that leads eventually through lonely Mosedale and then down to Swindale.
It had been dry so far underfoot, but now this rather indistinct path was rather wet and boggy. At one point a sheep barred (what an awful pun!) Dad's way, but because it looked so comfortable, he took pity, and walked in a small circle to avoid disturbing it.
The path climbed gently to come to the fence with its gate and stile. Here we left the bridleway and climbed steeply right on a narrow path parallel to the fence. Eventually, when the fence turned away left, Dad kept on along the path to the summit of Tarn Crag.
"Hooray", shouted Allen, "that's another Wainwright ticked off."
"Me too", called out Little Eric.
This odd looking structure stands just a 100 yards from the actual summit.
It is in fact an old survey tower, used by the engineers of Manchester Corporation, when constructing the Longsleddale tunnel conveying the Haweswater Aqueduct south. At the nearby summit cairn, we leapt out and settled for our picture.
Descending we rejoined the fence, following it down into the boggy hollow of Greycrag Tarn, although actually there is not in fact a tarn, just bog. Near the path these pretty yellow flowers were in bloom (we are sorry but we do not know what they are called).
A little further on was a large area of cotton grass.
At the fence corner we followed it left, Dad splashing through the boggy terrain towards Harrop Pike. This shot taken a little later on the return, shows the area to be crossed.
As you can see its summit is a broad rocky knoll, topped by an impressive cairn.
"Ooh that's very tall" said Little Eric.
"No problem", said Allen, getting the rope he carries with him.
He slung it up around a protruding stone, secured it, and then we were able to climb up for our picture.
Whilst up there we enjoyed the superb views of the Shap Fells, all of which we had climbed, and the distant Pennines. Safely down, Allen stowed his rope, then we retraced our route to the fence corner.
Now along the clear path to Grey Crag and its summit cairn. Again there were great views from here, non more so than that of Longsleddale, that we had driven along this morning.
From Grey Crag a clear path was taken that meandered over the grass and through the rocky outcrops to a stile in the fence. Once over, we continued along the path, which swung left along the spur of Great Howe. It was here that we met the only other walker today, a lady from Yorkshire. Dad chatted, as he does, and she mentioned that it had been pouring with rain when she set off, so we were in the best place today. Walking on at a brisk pace Dad soon reached Great Howe, a grassy knoll just right of the path being the summit, where Dad took our final picture of the day. You can see a loop of Allen's rope behind his left shoulder.
All that now remained was the at times rough and steep descent to Sadgill. In the words of Wallace and Gromit it had been another "Grand Day Out". All the tops are now climbed in this area, so we guess it is unlikely we will be here again for a while. To Dad's relief the drive back along the valley was clear, only meeting a farmer on his quad bike near Garnett Bridge.
And finally the summit tally today - Allen bagged Tarn Crag & Great Howe, while Little Eric bagged them all.


I hope all of your snow shovels and snow blowers are functioning and you are all joining with me in hopes for a better (snowy) winter than last year. My snow blower was a bit miffed about not getting proper attention last year and put up a fuss when asked to be get back to work recently after our first modest snow fall.
Heather is living in Vancouver, WA and working (yes!) in Portland these days for a group of lawyers and enjoying it very much. Perhaps this guy, Ashore, King of Monsters, is one pictured?
Amber, our intrepid golden retriever, is getting a big whiter around the muzzle… so far beating the odds. However, we are embarrassed to report that she is a THIEF. She's been coming home occasionally with some other dog's toys for a while and we've never figured out where they were coming from. Well, she has stooped to a new low. Last weekend we were surprised to see a golf club under the back of the suburban with a blue cozy for the head… initially we incorrectly thought to question Russel about why a golf club was falling out of the truck, then I noticed tooth/gum marks in the blue furry cozy and realized that Amber had thought she had another prize and did not understand why the toy had such a long sliver tail. So… if you are missing a golf club with blue furry toy on top….. we'd love to return it and perhaps learn where she's been stealing toys.
Sharon's having another great year at Aquarian Charter School as the librarian and teaching 2nd grade math. She is still a bit obsessed with Zumba but has found some other outlets for her energy. She was slaying fish this summer… salmon in Resurrection Bay and Pike in Trapper Lake. This fall she was again a part of the beautiful community Messiah Chorus.
We got out a bit this year, mostly to our cabin on Trapper Lake during the winter by snow machine and in the summer by float plane. During the spring break we enjoyed the Star Light Express from Portland to San Fransisco to join the Luke's in Sonoma for some wine. Then in the summer we were back in Oregon with the Luke's in Sun River followed by their visiting us in Anchorage and the trip to Seward and this hike up to Exit Glacier.
I'm still teaching at Alaska Pacific University, but on a 9 month schedule this year to transition back in to more time selling petroleum equipment in the western US and helping launch new businesses. If you need a new fuel system for your new hospital, data center or large office building generator or boilers, please contact me:) If you are interested in "internet of the things" let me know… I have a "cloud" based solution you'll want to hear about!…. shameless… just shameless! Check out www.kyholland.com for more about what I"m doing and pictures from my recent trip to the bottom of the grand canyon… next… South America!
That's about it for news… what's missing here is the long list of what I completed around the house this past summer, because… you guessed it… I didn't get anything done! There is always next summer….


"Is your dog always hungry?
Ours is too! Every dog owner knows what it's like to be pestered by their pooch for something to eat.
Dogs are naturally driven by the stomach and food. 🙂 As a good pet owner you want your dog to stop wanting to eat all the time.
1. Make sure they're getting enough food at mealtimes.
Check the label on your dog's food to make sure you're feeding them the recommended amount for their body type. (If you're still unsure, ask your vet.) Using a measuring cup will keep inconsistency in feeding down.
Fiber takes a long time to digest, so it will help your pooch feel satisfied after a meal. Plus it can protect against diabetes. High fiber is the key to a healthy pet, you can ask your vet if they think your dog needs a fiber supplement.
3. Feed them vegetables for snacks.
Dogs can eat vegetables and its good for them. Try giving them a piece of raw carrot, celery, broccoli, or green beans. Veggies will keep them fuller for longer than doggie treats.
4. Find them something else to do.
Dogs get bored like humans and when they get board they eat. If your dog is whining for food, try playing with them, taking them for a walk, or giving them a brushing. Sometimes quality time is better than a snack.
