1) Before building my own furniture, I've decided to take some from the neighbouring houses. The bug occured two times when I tried to move a two-tiled cabinet and a two-tiled single person bed. I remember that previously such objects were shown in the invetory in two parts of one certain object(with "1/2" and "2/2" prefix). I had a 60% of success, and after I successeded, I only got "1/2" part, and never "2/2"(it was also not lying on the ground near by). Not only that, but I also wasnt able to drop "1/2" part on the floor, so In order to get rid of it I needed to find a suitable container that would fit that 20 weight object. That was the only way to move it out of my inventory.
2) I've decided to build wooden walls around my house, and I was level 4 at carpentery when I've finished to build a frame perimiter. The only thing left was to make "level 2" wooden walls out the frames. Before starting doing it, I've read a "Carpentery book 3". in order to get more xp. And aftet that, while building walls I've noticed a bug that making one "level 2 wall" out of the frame gave me around 150 XP!(I noticed that because of too frequent leveling up sound"). So I could easily get a new level with building 3 walls and using only 6 planks, which in my opinion is a balancing issue. And dont know if it matters, but I have a fast learner trait.
1) Definitely seems like it could be a bug, but if you could, post a gif or a link to a video with the problem, because it also could very well be a mechanical error (no offense) on your part. Just wanna rule some stuff out as the devs do look at these threads.
2) Again, might have the possibility of being a bug, but check your sandbox settings and see if your experience multiplier is to blame. Also do you have any mods which might affect either of these things?
I choose carpenter and have a base 300% multiplier and the only things I get more than 150 xp on, at 4x base multiplier, is dismantling large double beds.
1) pt.2: have you tried using the "place" option in the building interface?
have an issue where upgrading door frames no longer lets me walk through. I had to demolish the door frames and build as a higher level to get them working again.
build a level one wall and door.
i upgraded the doorframe to level2 and the walls to level 2. cant get through door now.
checked with a few other level 1 doors -when doorframe is upgraded to level 2 you cant get through.
think we need door upgrades as well. would look much nicer.
Can either of you two post a video or gif?
EDIT: Nvm, devs on it.
Damn son you spooked me lol. I was like where did his post come from.
VERSION 40.16 RELEASED TO IWBUMS!
1. This might come packaged with an issue on some graphics cards due to a shader issue. We have a Radeon 390 on our internal testers, and it's playing up a bit. Please let us know if you have any problems, so we know how widespread an issue it is. Thank you!
Changed spawnchance for vehicle type definition from an Int to a Float.
Do campfires warm you up correctly now?
Has fuel economy for Sunday Driver and Speed demon been balanced (both perks are terrible for fuel economy, and Speed demon overall does not belong to positive perks category to be honest).
Will blizzards have sound effects ike thunderstorms have now? It's snowing extremely heavily with 120 kph winds and it justs feels weird.
By the way, I really appreciate the temperature rebalance. And the wind effects feel gorgeous, nice work.
About the graphics card problem. I'm using a Radeon R5 330 (OEM). When I start a game, I'm unable to zoom and the shaders get disabled unless I change something (anything) on the display menu and select apply. After this everything goes back to normal.
A few things. The headlight issue has returned, with the vision cone increasing but light not being emitted. Secondly, the battery level on the left of the dash is incorrectly displaying temperature. Look at my digital watch and then look at the dash and you will see. I will upload a gif of the light issues at night in a little bit. The car goes completely black at night.
Your digital watch is displaying the air temperature around you, than means the air inside the car. Which can change using the heater or the cooler. The temperature displayed on the car is the outside temperature.
I'm well aware of how thermometers work in cars, but it wasn't in the changelog, hence I feel it a bug. But I haven't been back on today so I'll post back here when I can test it more. If it is in fact a feature, I would like to be able to change it back. I wan't to know when my battery is going to die, and if it was meant to be implemented, it seems as though they wouldn't have thrown away such a useful feature.
EDIT: Also, When I took that picture, I had been sitting there for 5-6 in-game hours, and I don't have a front windshield. The temperature should've been the same after that long, but then again who knows how the temperature works.
the temperature display in the car has always been there. there was never a battery level indicator. they simply added an option between Celsius and Fahrenheit with Fahrenheit being the default now.
You've gotta be absolutely kidding me. Even starting the game from the initial infection, in May or whenever, and well into summer, I was watching it go down into single digits sometimes, and almost always into the teens. This is news to me. The numbers were consistently so low to me that I always thought they were a misrepresentation of the voltage in a battery. The picture that I posted is the first time I've ever seen that number above 30-34. Absolutely crazy. Thank you though, friend.
It was happening very often yesterday, but it looks like it "fixed itself". I've tried first week, survival and winter is coming but it doesn't happen anymore. Although I think it happened more often on these scenarios, yeah.
The screen freezes a lot since the update, especially when my character approach a handmade construction.
I can hear my footsteps, but can't interact with the screen.
My steam overlay is disabled.
My graphic card is AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series.
It definitely seems like you should be cold in -11C, but I think they really improved the insulation of sweaters, seeing as how they're the only practical clothing we have against the cold. But yeah the cold/hot mechanics have been pretty wacky since the weather IWBUMS release. You're definitely on to something though, I haven't even made it to winter yet.
Maybe a good ol' restart fixed it?
Actually, It's hasn't stopped happening, but it starts with some specific scenarios. In my case custom sandbox.
I've been in the winter is coming scenario and when fully equipped with a sweater, pants, shoes and being completely healthy you can actually withstand temperatures around -30ºC inside a building. If the air gets colder than -30ºC you should start getting cold. Considering that this set of clothing is the warmest one we have, I think it's fair enough that at least we don't freeze to death on -10ºC like before. I suppose that on the Anims update, with the new clothing system, this would be rebalanced.
Sadly, I don't have an AMD card so I wouldn't be of use suggesting anything. Best of luck with that friend. At least they already know about it so you shouldn't have anything to worry about in the long-run.
It's extremely easy to fix, you only have to click something on the display settings and that's it. Thanks anyway.

Philippine Supreme Court Jurisprudence > Year 2016 > June 2016 Decisions > G.R. No. 200081, June 08, 2016 - PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. EDGARDO T. CRUZ, Accused-Appellant.:
PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. EDGARDO T. CRUZ, Accused-Appellant.
PEREZ, J.:
Before us is an appeal from the Decision1 of the Court of Appeals (CA) dated 29 April 2011 in CA-G.R. CR No. 32134 affirming the Decision2 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Pasig City, Branch 262 of Pateros, Metro Manila dated 27 May 2008 in Criminal Case No. 123851, entitled People v. Cruz, which found accused-appellant Edgardo T. Cruz guilty of the crime of Qualified Theft punishable under Article 310 of the Revised Penal Code and sentenced him to suffer the penalty of reclusion perpetua.
Sometime in November 2000, private complainant Eduardo S. Carlos (Carlos) put up a business engaged in the sale of tires, batteries, and services for wheel alignment, wheel balancing and vulcanizing under the name and style of Chromax Marketing (Chromax).
During the infancy of Chromax, Carlos sought the help of accused-appellant Edgardo T. Cruz (Cruz) to register and manage the business, i.e., attend to the needs of the customers, receive orders, issue receipts and accept payments, and to prepare daily sales report for Carlos to be able to monitor the number of sales made, credits given, and total amount collected.
When Chromax began to gain recognition, Carlos employed several other employees. However, despite the rise of number of clients they were servicing, Chromax's financial capital remained unimpressive. Thus, upon inquiry prompted by suspicion, Carlos discovered through his sister, Eliza Cruz, that Cruz was stealing from Chromax.
On 19 February 2002, Carlos, as part of his routine, checked the daily sales report containing the list of payments and balances of customers. Upon examination, he discovered that the remaining balance of their customers and Cruz's advances (vale) totaled to P97,984.00.3 At the bottom of the balance sheet4 was an acknowledgment that the amount stated as lost was actually used by Cruz, which reads, "Mr. Eddie Carlos (sic) Amount stated lost was actually used by me for my personal use and (sic) which I promise to pay you back."5
Upon further investigation, Carlos also discovered an irregularity in the receipts issued to services rendered to Miescor covering the same transaction with an invoice number 0287. The discrepancies were between the amounts as indicated in the receipt issued to Miescor and the receipt shown to him by Cruz. The receipt issued to Miescor indicated the amount of P1,259.006 while the receipt shown to him by Cruz contained the amount of P579.00.7
Thus, on 18 July 2002, Carlos filed a criminal complaint for qualified theft against Cruz.
That, on or about the 19th day of February, 2002, or prior thereto, in the Municipality of Pateros, Metro Manila, Philippines and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, the above-named accused, being then an employee of Chromax Marketing, enjoying the trust and confidence reposed upon him by his employer, with intent to gain, grave abuse of confidence and without the knowledge and consent of the owner thereof, did, then and there willfully, unlawfully and feloniously take, steal and carry away cash money amounting to Php97,984.00 representing sales proceeds of Chromax Marketing products and services, belonging to said Chromax Marketing owned by herein complainant Edgardo Carlos y Santos, to the damage and prejudice of the owner thereof in the aforesaid amount.
CONTRARY TO LAW.8ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
During arraignment, Cruz pleaded not guilty to the crime charged. Thereafter, trial on the merits ensued. The prosecution presented two witnesses, namely: (1) Carlos, who testified that he knew Cruz two years before they set up Chromax and denied that he knew nothing about granting commissions to Miescor drivers; and (2) Keithly Cruz, who testified that as a cashier at Chromax, she saw Cruz hand a yellow piece of paper9 to Carlos, which she also saw was personally prepared by Cruz contrary to Cruz's allegation that the balance sheet as written in the yellow piece of paper was forged.10
On the other hand, the defense presented its sole witness, Cruz, who denied liability for qualified theft. He insinuated that Chromax started losing money from the time another employee, Jeffrey Albaitar (Albaitar), was employed. Moreover, with only few months since Albaitar was employed, Albaitar was already able to buy a brand new cellphone valued at P11,000.00. Finally, Cruz averred that his purported signature and declaration in the balance sheet that the missing collectible sum of money was allegedly used by him for personal use were forged.
Ruling of the RTC
On 27 May 2008, the RTC convicted Cruz finding him guilty beyond reasonable doubt of the crime of Qualified Theft in Criminal Case No. 123851.
The RTC opined that Cruz's admission of taking the amount stated as loss for his personal use is enough to sustain his conviction. The RTC, citing People v. Mercado,11 held that "the declaration of the accused expressly acknowledging his guilt to the offense may be given in evidence against him, and any person otherwise competent to testify as a witness, who heard the confession, is competent to testify as to the substance of what he heard, if he understood it."
The RTC went on further stating that even without Cruz's extrajudicial admission, there is enough circumstantial evidence to uphold his conviction. The RTC ruled that the following circumstances were established by the prosecution which prove that it was only Cruz who had sales control and supervision of Chromax from receipt of payment, issuance of receipts, and credit collections:
chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
[Cruz] is the manager and in-charge of cash purchase and sales of merchandise of Chromax Marketing.
Being the manager, he receives payments, issues receipts and handles credit collections of the company.
He likewise prepares daily sales reports.
Aside from [Cruz], who goes to work daily, Carlos and his immediate family have access to the cash register. However, they seldom go to Chromax Marketing except Carlos who visits 2 to 3 times a week.
[Cruz] cannot validly explain the shortages when confronted by Carlos. He just blamed Albaitar for a missing P100.00.12
Therefore, based on the pieces of evidence presented, the prosecution established "an unbroken chain leading to fair and reasonable conclusion that [Cruz] took the subject amount loss."13
The RTC rejected Cruz's allegation that Carlos authorized Cruz to grant commissions to Miescor's drivers. The RTC stated that assuming Carlos indeed authorized Cruz to give commissions, such authority is not a license to steal. The dispositive portion of the Decision of the RTC reads:
WHEREFORE, premises considered, judgment is hereby rendered finding accused EDGARDO T. CRUZ GUILTY beyond reasonable doubt of the crime of Qualified Theft and sentencing him to suffer the penalty of reclusion perpetua. Further, accused is ordered to pay the private complainant in the amount of Php97,984.00 as actual damages.14ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
Ruling of the Court of Appeals
The CA affirmed the ruling of the RTC and found that all the elements of theft, together with the circumstances that led to the appreciation of the crime as qualified theft, were sufficiently established by the prosecution.
In the case at bar, Cruz was entrusted to receive payments, issue receipts, and oversee all aspects pertaining to cash purchases and sale of merchandise of the business. By taking advantage of and gravely abusing the trust and confidence of Carlos, Cruz was able to appropriate the proceeds of the missing amounts for his personal benefit.
What is glaring is Cruz failed to provide any justifiable reason as to why the collectible balance in the balance sheet could not be accounted for in spite of the undisputed fact that he was personally responsible for the accounting and safekeeping of the same.
The CA also took note that Cruz's categorical acknowledgment in the balance sheet that he used the amount of money for his personal benefit with a promise that the same will be paid, plus the fact that Cruz in open court, testified that aside from having personally prepared the balance sheet, he also acknowledged his personal responsibility therefor.
As regards the defense's contention that his conviction was merely based on circumstantial evidence, the CA ruled that, "[d]irect evidence is not the sole means of establishing guilt beyond reasonable doubt since circumstantial evidence, if sufficient, can supplant its absence. The crime charged may also be proved by circumstantial evidence. xxx."15
It is this submission that forms the basis of the present appeal the argument being that the CA erred in convicting Cruz on the basis of insufficient circumstantial evidence.
Our Ruling
The appeal is bereft of merit.
Theft, as defined in Article 308 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC) provides:
Art. 308. Who are liable for theft. — Theft is committed by any person who, with intent to gain but without violence against or intimidation of persons nor force upon things, shall take personal property of another without the latter's consent.
Theft is likewise committed by:
Any person who, having found lost property, shall fail to deliver the same to the local authorities or to its owner;
Any person who, after having maliciously damaged the property of another, shall remove or make use of the fruits or object of the damage caused by him; and
Any person who shall enter an enclosed estate or a field where trespass is forbidden or which belongs to another and without the consent of its owner, shall hunt or fish upon the same or shall gather cereals, or other forest or farm products.16
Based on the foregoing, the elements of the crime of theft are: (1) there was taking of personal property; (2) the property belongs to another; (3) the taking was without the consent of the owner; (4) the taking was done with intent to gain; and (5) the taking was accomplished without violence or intimidation against the person or force upon things.17
However, when theft is committed with grave abuse of confidence, the crime appreciates into qualified theft punishable under Article 310 of the RPC, to wit:
Art. 310. Qualified Theft. — The crime of theft shall be punished by the penalties next higher by two degrees than those respectively specified in the next preceding article, if committed by a domestic servant, or with grave abuse of confidence, or if the property stolen is motor vehicle, mail matter or large cattle or consists of coconuts taken from the premises of the plantation or fish taken from a fishpond or fishery, or if property is taken on the occasion of fire, earthquake, typhoon, volcanic eruption, or any other calamity, vehicular accident or civil disturbance.18ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
Therefore, the elements of Qualified Theft committed with grave abuse of confidence are as follows:
1. Taking of personal property;
2. That the said property belongs to another;
3. That the said taking be done with intent to gain;
4. That it be done without the owners consent;
5. That it be accomplished without the use of violence or intimidation against persons, nor of force upon things; [and]
6. That it be done with grave abuse of confidence.19 (Emphasis omitted)
All the elements of Qualified Theft are present in this case.
First. The defense contends that the prosecution was not able to prove Cruz's guilt by direct evidence. The defense's contention is incorrect. The records reveal that it is by Cruz's own admission why a conviction can be sustained. As already stated, Cruz declared that he took the money for his personal use, "Mr. Eddie Carlos (sic) Amount stated lost was actually used by me for my personal use and (sic) which 1 promise to pay you back."20
Nevertheless, even without Cruz's own admission and direct evidence proving Cruz's guilt, a conviction can still be sustained. As correctly held by the CA, direct evidence is not the sole means to establish guilt because the accused's guilt can be proven by circumstantial evidence.
Circumstantial evidence is defined as that which "goes to prove a fact or series of facts other than the facts in issue, which, if proved, may tend by inference to establish a fact in issue."21 Rule 133, Section 4 of the Revised Rules of Court provides for the requirements in order for circumstantial evidence can sustain conviction: (a) there is more than one circumstance; (b) the facts from which the inferences are derived are proven; and (c) the combination of all the circumstances is such as to produce a conviction beyond reasonable doubt.22 Contrary to the defense's allegation that the pieces of circumstantial evidence presented were insufficient, a perusal of the records reveal otherwise. Based on the evidence, there is more than one circumstance which can prove Cruz's guilt.23
As sufficiently discussed by the trial court, besides Cruz's own admission that he took the unaccounted money without Carlos' knowledge and authority, Cruz's guilt was also proven through the following circumstantial evidence: Cruz, as the manager of Chromax, had sole access to the money and other collectibles of Chromax; he had sole authority to issue receipts; he gave commissions without Carlos' authority; he forged the amount in the sales report and receipts; and finally, insinuated that it was Albaitar who misappropriated the money without providing any scintilla of proof to support his accusations.
Contrary to the defense's allegation that due to lack of direct evidence the Court cannot uphold Cruz's conviction, circumstantial evidence is not a "weaker" form of evidence. The Rules of Court does not distinguish between direct and circumstantial evidence insofar as their probative value is concerned. In the case at bar, the combination of the circumstantial evidence draws no other logical conclusion, but that Cruz stole the money with grave abuse of confidence.
Second. It is undisputed that the money unaccounted for was owned by Carlos. While Cruz is the manager of Chromax, whose authority is limited to receiving payments, issuing receipts, and overseeing all aspects pertaining to cash purchases and sale of merchandise of the business, he has no right to dispose of the same, and Carlos, as the owner of Chromax, has sole power of dominion over the proceeds therefrom.
Third. Cruz himself admitted that he took the money for his benefit. During his direct examination, Cruz admitted it was an advance or vale which he used for his mother's hospitalization:
Now, there is an entry here, this one named vale, what is this vale all about?
Yun po yung cash advance ko kay Mr. Carlos.
And when did you incur this vale of P12,000.00?
I cannot remember. That's the time my mother was hospitalized.24
Fourth. Contrary to Cruz's allegation that the unaccounted money he gave as commission to Miescor drivers was authorized by Carlos, the records reveal otherwise. As clearly established by the prosecution, Cruz's act of giving commissions were baseless:
Also in relation to the invoice receipt wherein you said you discovered that he overpriced the transaction, can you remember that? The sales invoice issued to Miescor?
"Ang ibig ko pong sabihin dun, iba yung report n'ya sa [akin. Iba] yung resibong ine-rereport n'ya para magawa n'ya yung instruction ko na daily sales report, iba naman ang ini-issue n'ya sa customer."
Are you not [a]ware of the fact that he did this because he wants the drivers of the Miescor to have a commission on this overpricing?
No, sir.25
Therefore, Cruz misappropriated the unaccounted money without Carlos' knowledge or consent.
Fifth. It is indisputable that the act was accomplished without the use of violence or intimidation against persons, or of force upon things as Cruz had free access to the cashier of Chromax.
Sixth. As Chromax's manager, Cruz had access to Chromax's cashier. He was entrusted to receive payments, issue receipts, and oversee all aspects pertaining to cash purchases and sale of merchandise of the business. Indeed, his position entails a high degree of confidence as he had access to the lists of sales report and the cash of the daily sales. However, Cruz took advantage of this trust and confidence. He exploited his position to take the money and was able to accomplish the crime with grave abuse of confidence.
As regards the defense's insinuation that it was Albaitar who misappropriated the money, such bare allegations must fail. It cannot prevail over the overwhelming evidence proving his guilt.
Cruz averred that his purported signature and declaration in the balance sheet that the missing collectible sum of money which he supposedly used for personal purpose were forged. His testimony belies any allegation of forgery:
Now, you said earlier that when you gave this one to Mr. Carlos, he did not execute this portion and from this Exhibit "A", "A-1", "A-2", "A-4", "A-5". From Exhibit "A-3" and "A-1".
At first[,] I only gave him this paper.
I only wrote this on the 19th of February.
This portion? Exhibit "A-3" and "A-1"?
And this portion Exhibit "A"[,] "A-2" up to "A-5"?
I prepared that on the 10th of February.
Now, what was the reason why you wrote this portion marked as Exhibit "A-3" and "A-1"?
He asked me to sign this paper proving that I prepared this and I knew that I was supposed to pay all this because I'm responsible. "So in good faith, tsaka medyo ano na rin po ako nun, parang iba na ang naramdaman ko, dahil yung responsibility ko parang inalis na nya dun na lang ako sa labas kaya sabi ko baka hindi ako magtagal. So in good faith ko po naisulat ito." (Witness pointing to "A-3" and "A-1").26
Premises considered, we find no cogent reason to reverse the conviction of Cruz, who was able to perpetrate the crime of qualified theft through grave abuse of confidence.
Imposable Penalty
The penalty for qualified theft is based on the value of the property stolen, which in this case is P97,984.00. To compute for the imposable penalty, we must first take the basic penalty for theft, which is prision mayor in its minimum and medium periods to be imposed in the maximum period, that is, eight (8) years, eight (8) months and one (1) day to ten (10) years of prision mayor. To determine the additional years of imprisonment to be added to the basic penalty, the amount of P22,000.00 is deducted from P97,984.00, which leaves a difference of P75,984.00. This amount is then divided by P10,000.00, disregarding any amount less than P10,000.00. The resulting quotient of 7 is equivalent to 7 years, which is added to the basic penalty.27cralawred
In this case, because Cruz committed qualified theft, his penalty is two degrees higher than the penalty for simple theft, which is reclusion temporal in its medium and maximum periods to be imposed in its maximum period or eighteen (18) years, two (2) months, and twenty-one (21) days to twenty (20) years, which shall be added to the resulting quotient of 7 years. The resulting sum shall then be the imposable penalty. Thus, the range of the imposable penalty is twenty-five (25) years, two (2) months, and twenty-one (21) days to twenty-seven (27) years.
Moreover, as the crime committed is qualified theft, we do not apply the rule in simple theft that the maximum penalty cannot exceed twenty (20) years. The penalty for qualified theft has no such limitation. His penalty exceeds twenty (20) years of reclusion temporal, the penalty that should be imposed, therefore, is reclusion perpetua.28
WHEREFORE, the appeal is DISMISSED. The Decision dated 27 May 2008 of the Regional Trial Court in Criminal Case No. 123851 is AFFIRMED, sentencing accused-appellant to serve the penalty of reclusion perpetua and ordering him to pay private complainant in the amount of P97,984.00 as actual damages, which shall earn legal interest of six percent (6%) per annum from date of finality of this Court's Decision until full payment as per BSP Circular No. 799, Series of 2013.

In 1998, John Beebe and Shen Heyong co-organized the first International Conference of Analytical Psychology and Chinese Culture. This essay summarizes presentations that Dr. Beebe gave in the first conference's keynote address and at subsequent conferences. Beebe has also given online weekly seminars to students of City University of Macau for the Shanghai Developing Group.
The following is drawn largely from a 2005 interview with Dr. Beebe on listening to the Shadow rather than being ashamed of or hiding it. Beebe has written that, "Integrity is found not only in the courage to stand up to shadow, but in the emotions of uncertainty which force one to admit there is a problem in the first place" (Integrity in Depth, 1992, p. 35). We may deny what we did wrong, or become angry and easily irritated, but we are also trying to attain a feeling of moral relief. "Jung called this process facing and integrating the shadow. It has become … an everyday part of decision-making in many of our lives … Only then do we feel secure in figuring out what we must do" (p. 33).
As Beebe puts it, "A proper starting point for the discovery of integrity is the experience of anxiety" (p. 33). After we have acted, we self-examine what has happened and contemplate the results of our actions. Then, we may find out that what had happened is not what we intended. This may be the cause of our anxiety. For the purpose of recovering from the uneasiness, we can only try to figure out what we must do to make the situation right again. Integrity is found not only in the courage to stand up to the Shadow, but also in the emotions of uncertainty which force one to admit there is a problem in the first place. Shadow is like the darkness, and the attitude of facing and integrating the Shadow is like shining a candle, leading us out of the darkness and toward individuation.
The Chinese character for shadow is "陰景". Superficially, "陰"means side hill which is in the shade. From the ancient Chinese point of view, "陰" indicates the northern side of the mountain and the southern side of river water. To understand the meaning of this character, we should consider the right part "侌" which implies that the sun is covered by cloud layer. The character "侌" can be divided into two parts. The upper "今" signifies keeping silent in ancient Chinese, the primitive image of "今" corresponds to the earth matrix of the god of fear, embodying no light and also representing occlusion and emptiness. However, the lower part "云" has a pronunciation similarity with "孕" which means pregnancy and formation. Therefore, the combination of two parts, "陰" implies hidden pregnancy and nutrition. And in "陰景", the shadow, there exists not only darkness, but also brightness and the power of creation and transformation. Through the process of being in shadow, we can gain the power of pregnancy and nutrition, which is the only way to individuation.
Beebe suggests that the predominant historical consciousness of Chinese culture has been INFJ, introverted intuition (Ni) with extraverted feeling (Fe). The shadow functions for China would be Ne–5th, Fi–6th, Te–7th, and Si–8th. Even if we know our type, we are always vulnerable to the activation of the inferior function or of the functions that are in shadow. For instance, Beebe describes the relationship between China and Japan in 1937-1945 in the following way: The predominant consciousness of Japanese culture has been ISTJ, so that the Japanese shadow contains Se and Ti (Se–5th, Ti–6th, Fe–7th, and Ni–8th). He uses a film, directed by Japanese director Ozu Yasujiro, called "What Did the Lady Forget?" to vividly represent how a Japanese woman who suffered in the war had become too aggressive in her family. This is what Beebe calls the activation of the Opposing Personality archetype, which is opposite in gender to the archetype associated with the superior function. Accordingly, Japan's superior introverted sensing (Si) in a patriarchal country would be masculine. The opposing Se function would be symbolized by a wife who can only criticize, disagree, and do battle with her husband. In Beebe's view, "What Did the Lady Forget?" portrays the natural type of the lady's country, Japan, which fell into an aggressive complex and went to war on others. In other words, Japan had become possessed by its Opposing Personality (Beebe, 2006).
By the same token, Beebe observes that, if Ni is really the superior function of historical Chinese culture, then Ne which envisions future developments and opportunities would carry the energy of the Opposing Personality archetype. Every country wants to develop, but if the focus is only on development and not on the meaning of our lives and of the big changes we are experiencing, then this narrow focus could lead Chinese culture away from its natural strength. Beebe believes that the bad ending of the Boxer Rebellion activated the inferior function of Se in Chinese culture, so that China has wanted to show the world that it can be more prosperous than the West and can do without its intervention. Therefore, as Beebe puts it, the country is trying harder to demonstrate the most economic progress—an overcompensation of an extraverted sensation (Se) kind, with perhaps some Ne as well, that has been obviously successful.
Such an over-compensation should not go on indefinitely. America, he points out, has likewise become too enthralled with an Se function that is not entirely natural to its culture. China has emphasized Se and Ne, leaving itself at present with a relatively weak Ni, even though Ni is China's natural superior function and its historical birthright. A strong Ni, for example was the consciousness that gave birth to the three great Chinese religions: Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, all of which anticipated Jung's notion of the Self. That superior Ni may benefit today from the strengthening of Jungian analysis. At least, Jungian Ni would be naturally healing whenever applied, because it would restore a natural strength. Beebe mentions with compassion that it was the invasion of China by western countries in the 19th century and by Japan in the 20th that produced a certain shame in China's Anima, the site of the inferiority complex, in which the inferior function tried to overcompensate for the failure of Chinese Ni to prevail. That is also to say that when the crisis is over and the overcompensation has worked, it's important to go back to the superior function, Ni for China, and not continue to neglect it. In Beebe's opinion, China's auxiliary function, extraverted feeling (Fe), is currently its greatest natural psychological asset, since a strong country will stay strong if it uses its natural superior and auxiliary functions.
When the inferior function and the shadow Opposing Personality function are used instead of the superior function, the ego-self connection, or transcendent function, is weakened. When Ni is the superior function, the connection to the Self is especially important, which is what Jung's psychology speaks to. So the development of the inferior function will work over time only if the superior function has been already working well. Otherwise, such development of the inferior function becomes an overcompensation in the direction of power, which Beebe reminds us is the way of "the inferior man" who according to Hexagram 34 of the I Ching, "works through power" exclusively and sooner or later gets stuck in the stubborn pursuit of power for its own sake.
But if the "superior man," in Hexagram 19, "Approach," line 4, is used, there can be a union of high and low, which is the critical thing. This line reads, "Here is shown the open-minded approach of a person of high rank to a man of ability whom he draws in to his own circle, regardless of class prejudice" (Wilhelm, 1950). This is exemplified in Hexagram 11, "Peace," where line 5 shows "a truly modest union of high and low that brings happiness and blessings," which Beebe applies to the union of superior and inferior functions in the psyche.
Beebe also compares the union of superior and inferior functions to the marriage of a couple. The Anima develops because the ego is humble, but the Anima also has a humble husband who keeps her from getting inflated. Neither ego (superior function) nor Anima (inferior function) is inflated, and neither is ashamed or weak.
As for the "consciousness of China," that is, the personality type of China, Beebe says the soul of China is oriented toward doing business and notes that the Chinese do that well, especially when the ego of China is humble and spiritual, as when Ni is strong enough. But if Ni, the superior function, is too weak, then Ne, the Opposing Personality function, takes over, and the development of Se becomes mere materialism; then, there is no connection between the healthy business of Se and the spirit of Ni. By losing this connection between the superior and inferior functions, China may lose the possibility of exploring the unconscious and regulating the Shadow. Although the Ni part of the ego is a little bit weak in China today, Beebe says, it can correct this more easily than it realizes by strengthening Ni, meaning recovering its traditional spirit and connection to underlying meanings, to the unconscious and to the Tao. This should be and will be the way to develop soundly in China without loss of power, loss of face, and loss of ability to help the rest of the world realize its humanity.
Several initiatives have been launched in China that show evidence of re-integrating superior Ni with inferior Se. The "Garden of the Heart-Soul," founded by Professor Shen Heyong, is a public welfare program, started in the Welfare Center for Children, in Guangzhou in 2007. It aims to help the one million orphans in China, many of whom are physically handicapped (Cheng H. Chen, He Y. Shen, 2010). So far, with the assistance of the Chinese Federation for Analytical Psychology, more than 50 "Garden of the Heart-Soul" stations have been established in most areas of China. More than a thousand volunteers have participated in this project. As Beebe says, maybe now China feels the need to compensate for the way others can take advantage of an INFJ, and so China may be using its inferior function, Se, in a way that ignores the values of its inner spirit. However, the "Garden of the Heart-Soul" mainly focuses on nourishing and developing the heart, not the mind. Its participants believe in the psychology of the heart and the heart of psychology. The methodology of the "Heart" explores the inner world and nourishes the heart. Perhaps the "Garden of the Heart-Soul" can compensate for the weaker superior function of China by developing the auxiliary function, Fe, to assume greater social responsibility.
Love is the most important principle for the work; through love, the Garden's team intends to gain a better understanding of others and arouse the potential power of transformation in children's hearts. This may be the way of individuation for the Chinese, the way to integrate the shadow of China's cultural psyche, with the aid of analytical psychology (Shen, 2001).
According to Beebe's sequence of archetypal complexes, the auxiliary function carries the Good Parent archetype, so China's auxiliary function Fe should be a caretaker. China has begun to show evidence of development of this function. Recently, more and more Chinese female psychotherapists have begun to participate in the field of psychotherapy and in the "Garden of the Heart-Soul" project, helping balance the psyche in China. Beebe observes that women's natural wish to be as strong as and equal to men may reflect a stage of Anima development in the national psyche, in which the feminine aspect—the Anima archetype—gains strength and acceptance. There always is an Anima in men's inner world, and in finding the inner Anima or the help of women, men can be in better relationship with others. That feminine contribution is also part of the individuation journey for men. Beebe believes that a female psychotherapist can be a role model for taking the feminine seriously in patients of both sexes. To make this more clear, Beebe takes himself as an example: He sometimes needs to display his Anima and his maternal side, in order not to seem like just another intellectual man. Female psychotherapists, by contrast, don't need to be the Anima or the mother; they can just stand up for the feminine figures that appear in their patients' dreams. This understanding, Beebe acknowledges, has helped him understand the unique role that female psychotherapists can play (2007).
Women, perhaps because they carry the possibility of giving birth, can be the special containers, on the side of "陰", providing nourishment to the psyches of others; in other words, they can be mothers not only physically, but also spiritually. So the growing power of women in China is also an advantage for the development of analytical psychology in China. Correspondingly, we can see the development of the "Garden of the Heart-Soul" itself as the female container, offering nourishment and care for children in need of special healing care. For China, the auxiliary function Fe and Anima Se can co-nurture Chinese people together, raising them up.
We wish to express our gratitude to John Beebe and Adam Frey for their help with this article, and for allowing us to present Dr. Beebe's views. We are deeply appreciative of what they have done for us. Their work has made a marvelous contribution to the growth of analytical psychology in China.

Ad Nauseam: ALF #23 (Mascot Madness!)
You can find previous "Ad Nauseam"s here.
Welcome back to Ad Nauseam: never ending articles inspecting promotions of yesteryear found in between the "Biff"s and "Pow"s of clearance rack comics. Please send help.
Tonight we crack open the capitalistic corpse of ALF #23 released December 1989.
ALF (Alien Life Form) was a Marvel comic series based off the television show of the same name. It ran for a surprisingly successful 50 issues (1988-1992), actually exceeding the lifespan of the show. ALF tells the story of Gordon Shumway, an alien from an extinct planet that crash lands in suburban California. He's discovered and reluctantly "adopted" by a wholesome nuclear family as sitcom shenanigans and laugh tracks ensue. The show was like a fusion of Full House and Garfield complete with 80s sitcom cheese, cat references, food binging, all centering around a family named The Tanners.
ALF #23: December 1989
On a personal note, ALF was one of my favorite shows as a child. Being raised on Muppets, anything involving puppets immediately caught my attention. And in his prime, ALF was a merchandising machine as his face was slapped on coloring books, lunchboxes, and everything in between.
Which brings me to the focus of tonight's article…
I've spent too much time building these virtual monuments to 30+ year old junk food and mailaway trading cards. A driving force behind diving into these ads isn't nostalgia alone…but the realization that I'm part of a bygone era I'm calling The Lost Art of the Mascot. For better or worse.
There's a reason why I'm so fondly in love with the Mcdonald's of yesteryear. Or how I'll gush over sugary cereal boxes and the return of "throwback" labels on the same old products. The Trix Rabbit! Toucan Sam! Scrubbing Bubbles! The Noid! Mrs. Butterworth! As a child I loved the Energizer Bunny and Chester Cheetah. What they were bussing was moot (or so I thought), yet they turned out to be the reason why I wanted Cheetos in my lunch and Energizer batteries in my talking Robocop. If you're in your late thirties you CAN'T look me in the GOSH DANG eyes and tell me you didn't eat raisins because of the CALIFORNIA RAISINS singing on your television! Don't lie to me this isn't my FIRST RODEO!
This is a brilliant marketing strategy that, I would say, peaked throughout the 1960s-1990s. Take a mundane product and pair it with a bright lively marketable character that would appeal to children. This is most common with cereal (as we'll see tonight) but expanded far beyond to everything from batteries to cleaning supplies. It's a strategy that cements a brand and creates a brainworm in future customers based on recognition. It's planting the seeds of consumption in young malleable selfish minds and might just be considered evil. But, boy, does it work!
It's fitting that I found these ads in an ALF comic. Yet another character created with a big marketable lovable personality full of quippy one liners and sarcasm. Almost as if the priority was merchandising over actual quality. Huh. Well that can't be…can it? So let's travel back to the last gasp of the 1980's with ALF #23 and quietly ask ourselves why is this December released comic themed around Fall?
Trix and Lucky Charms Word Games!
These ads are a great example of how to make your mascot appear as more than just a vapid salesman. Both of these full page ads are games first and ads second. Kids know when they're being marketed to, so to literally make a game out of your product is a way to get attention without your little consumer even realizing you're getting your sugar soaked fingerprints all over their fresh malleable mind. You engage your audience. The cereal and logo take up little of the illustration, making the mascots the main focus besides the game itself. It's a way to get kids to "help" the characters (they look distressed afterall) and connect with them. Appeal to emotions. The games center around the themes of the cereal and names so it's easy to identify next time you're at the grocery store. If you play this fun game with these characters in your monthly comics, you'd be more than willing to beg mom for their cereal. I felt a loyalty to these characters, therefore, I wanted their cereal over, say, Corn Pops or Frosted Mini Wheat.
Also I love how Lucky the Leprechaun is relaxing in his cozy home with an offering of a perfectly balanced breakfast (did anybody really partake in orange juice and milk?) and the Trix Rabbit is cornered in some gritty back alley (also is the pencil oversized or is the Trix rabbit truly that small?). Through engaging ads like this, you might actually look forward to them popping up in your comic book. Imagine that! Soon Trix and Lucky could mean more to you than just breakfast cereal, but in turn, Trix and Lucky Charms might be the first brands that spring to mind when getting some sugary trash to shovel in your gullet at 7 am. Magically delicious? Or Implemented strategically delicious?
Nestle Quik Hop Shop!
It's pretty incredible how some of these ads can work on a young mind. I haven't seen a Nestle Quik commercial in decades and haven't drank it in probably over 25 years, yet I still remember that Quik bunny suckin' that gloop up while his long ears twisted around as if he were in the middle of some sort of powdery orgazmic trance.
Here we have an example of being "rewarded" with stuff you don't need for consuming junk that will hurt you. Today, this practice of marketing has been (mostly) dropped across the board as it shouts "blind vapid consumerism" and can direct your child onto the road of diabetes and obesity all in the name of a Quik Bunny Plastic Mug. If you delve back into comics of the 1960s and 70s, you'd find similar "reward" programs using points to earn prizes aimed at children. These points were earned through, essentially, a pyramid scheme: Want a kite or magic set? Sell a certain amount of magazine subscriptions (for example). You could earn up to a bicycle! Though marketing like this "Hop Shop" ad truly reflects the consumeristic junkie mindframe that permeated the 1980's: Eat to earn. Buy our products and earn cool prizes adorning our logo. It's a pretty bold and confident move when you think about it.
It sounds like John Carpenter's They Live in a way. Mostly because, in a way, it is. That movie had to come from somewhere, right?
Okay, so I'm being cynical. I previously touched on a similar tactic with Kool-Aid. And there's tons just like this. I don't look down on anyone who was into this. Mostly because I know for a 100% fact, I'd partake in this if I didn't have such a strictly-budgeted mother growing up. The bendable Quik Bunny and Plush Bunny are calling my name. Then I'd probably go for the t-shirt and some "hot shades". That ice pop maker and mug are swell too. I didn't even drink Nestle Quik much, but I loved the fun design of the Bunny from the commercials. I liked him. Which was the point. They got me hook, line, and sinker. I delve into this stuff because I fall for it.
I actually sought out some of the prizes being offered here through eBay and paired them with the image above. I'm pretty sure I've seen that Quik Bunny mug at almost every flea market I've ever been to. Also, do you notice the 1950's aesthetic in this ad? The music notes, "Hop Shop" logo design, and the way the Bunny talks? The 1950's Americana fascination was only 30+ years ago at this point in time. The people making these ads were nostalgic for their era. For instance, what era do you see today so firmly replicated throughout marketing in pop culture? Ah, that's right, the 1980's. Which is only 30+ years ago at this point in time. Where does the time go?
Mr. Bubble's Tub Tales!
Man, when was the last time you took a bubble bath? Is taking a bubble bath just a kid thing? Why? I remember always seeing sexy women taking bubble baths in movies, but that was usually because it was PG and they needed to cover up their body. Why can't a middle aged construction worker come home from a hard day's work to a nice bubble bath? Can we normalize that? Anyway…
The "mini-comic" ad you'd find in comic books is a classic tactic. In fact, I wouldn't mind doing that for a living. Here we get a short tale featuring Mother callin' in the kiddos after having a fun-filled dirty play day only to *GASP* be excited to take a bath?! That's right, kids, because Mr. Bubble makes getting clean almost as much fun as getting dirty! I love the admittance of saying "almost". They're just being honest. It's not more fun or even as fun apparently. But the fun doesn't have to stop in the bath! Because Mr. Bubble's got them tees and sweaters to rock on your clean bubbleless bod. And a f**king WATCH?! A Mr. Bubbles Watch?! I wish I could've met someone wearing a Mr. Bubbles watch in the wild. Like, who are they? What is their story? How are they doing?
Regardless, this advertisement intertwines the idea of the main product (being bubble bath..er-uh..stuff) supplemented with the idea of wearing the brand out of your pure enjoyment for it. Whereas the Nestle Quik branded swag was based on "earning" it. Mr. Bubble just wants to be friends, bro. An adult sized shirt cost $4.95 in December of 1989. With inflation (plus $1 for S&H) that comes out to $13.49 in 2022. Not to shabby considering most tees cost around $27 shipped these days. Also notice the inclusion of adult sized clothing (as well as that rad watch). Mr. Bubble was a brand founded in 1961, nearly 30 years of business at the time. It's appealing to nostalgia. Your kid would see it and might want one and there's an off chance that you might too…seeing as you might have grown up with Mr. Bubble as well. That marketing practice is super common today as nostalgia has become almost the go-to route for marketing towards adults.
And, yes, I managed to go to Mr. Bubble's website. And, yes, they sell shirts and little Mr. Bubble dolls. And, yes, I'm internally struggling with not buying them.
I always bring up throughout these Ad Nauseum articles how you no longer see ads for sugary snack cakes, candy, or tooth rotting "juice" drinks marketed towards children anymore; much less rewarding them with prizes for consuming them. Commercials don't have the same imagination and charm as they used to either. When was the last time you saw Ronald dicking around in Mcdonaldland? Or Captain Crunch recklessly sailing his ship into a kitchen under the influence of crunchberries? Or Kool Aid man carelessly bursting through drywall? Lumber costs have skyrocketed you giant pitcher abomination.
And, in all honesty, it's for the best. These mascots still exist but they're minimal and present for posterity. Whenever they are used, it's sparingly to appeal to a time where you'd eat this trash and not feel like it. As a society we've become much more conscious of what's in our food and the benefits of it. I believe we've broken a marketing cycle and caused a shift towards a more healthy and transparent approach. It may no longer involve a colorful talking toucan or collecting proofs of purchase for a glow-in-the-dark yo-yo…but it benefits us long term. I can definitely see a day in my lifetime where all these mascots are distant memories. Where some 78 year old's suspiciously hairy ears perk up as we'd recall "Cheesasaurus Rex" over overpriced space-lattes on Planet Starbucks.
Regardless, I am fond of this stuff. These colorful faces that greeted me on Saturday mornings and in between the pages of my favorite superhero adventures. The excitement I felt digging through sugary cereal I convinced my mom I needed just for the toy inside. Looking at the cookies baking in the oven to see if the Pillsbury Doughboy would actually pop up and greet me. It could be the time and place that gets me. But it's also the marketing itself. It's genuine nostalgia for something that was strategically planned and meticulously implemented by a boardroom of rich business tycoons. So undeniably American. But when you look at things that way…it kinda sucks the fun and wonder out of life.
Although the Art of the Mascot is indeed lost and I truly can't think I'm better off for being apart of it, I can at least look back at it through the eyes of a child and smile. In a lot of cases ignorance is bliss afterall. Thanks for thumbing in between the action of old comics and reminiscing with me.

Our benefactors and friends often express that they have invested so much in Kapaun Mt. Carmel that they feel a further commitment to "see it through" with a planned gift in order to be sure the school and its Catholic education mission continues. However, an estate gift may also become the first and only gift to the school, acting upon the emotional impact of the KMC connection over a lifetime.
Any investment in Kapaun Mt. Carmel becomes a long-term investment. Gifts flow directly to the young people served while they are students, and help form the faith-based, academic foundation that prepares our young women and men for a lifetime built upon their formative high school years, becoming scholars and alumni in the image of Jesus Christ.
A properly planned estate or deferred gift to Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School offers potential tax and other financial benefits for your estate and heirs. It is important that you consider how charitable gifts might impact your overall estate plan, so it is wise to consult your attorney and other professional financial advisors.
When you have completed your estate plan, and provided for a gift to Kapaun Mt. Carmel, simply inform the KMC President in writing that KMC has been included in your estate plans.
Bequests/Wills – The charitable bequest is the simplest of all planned gifts. It offers a straightforward opportunity to make a substantial contribution to further the work and mission at Kapaun Mt. Carmel without drawing on your resources. It involves adding a clause to your will or trust that states that you give a percentage or the remainder of your estate to Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School.
Beneficiary Designations – You may name Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School as a beneficiary of a Life Insurance Policy, a Retirement Fund, IRA, 401(k) or Keogh Account, a Savings Account, or a Certificate of Deposit.
Trusts and Annuities – These options provide a means of making a significant gift while retaining a life income. Along with federal tax benefits, there are corresponding restrictions. A financial planner, personal attorney, or tax consultant should be contacted to determine the best plan for you.
Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School has produced this information to assist you in the consideration of an estate or planned gift. KMC does not provide or purport to provide legal, tax or financial planning counsel. You are urged to consult and rely upon the opinion of qualified legal, tax and financial planning advisors before acting on any of the concepts described here.
Estate planning information provided to the school will be kept confidential to the extent the benefactor wishes, and enrollment may be anonymous.

Issue: If you are zoomed in enough to see the selected Bus Stops (Green dots) and hit the "HOME" button, only those selected Bus Stops that are visible will be removed and replaced with the Blue Dot Bus Stops. For some weird reason even if you are zoomed out it still doesn't clear all of the feature layer. I tried putting a timer on the zoomtoextent but that didn't help either. Anyway, here is my goHome function that may be causing issues.
To replicate issue. Click on the first route 101 on the left. Zoom into the lowest portion of the route and you'll see the green selected Stops. Now hit the home button then zoom back into that area. Start going North (Up) and you'll see how there are still Selected Stops (Green Dots).
Sorry tired to put this in a code block but it keeps showing up weird.
I looked through your code a bit and it looks like you set the selectedBusStops definition expression, but when you hit the home button, it is only setting the busStop definition expression. Could that be what is causing them still to display?
You nailed it. I was using just a selectedBusStop.clear() call thinking that was going to work, when in fact I needed to set the definition expression as well. It's all good now. Thanks, I knew I was missing something simple here.
Excellent! I am glad that was it.

Gothenburg leads the way towards fossil-free transports of the future
One after the other, the news keeps coming demonstrating how Gothenburg is leading the way towards sustainable transports. In fact, the aim is for the entire transport system to be electrified, fossil-free and quiet by 2030. The region's vehicle clusters are creating a value chain unlike any other in the world and the city's wide-reaching investments are attracting international attention.
The largest single delivery of electric buses in Sweden is underway.
The first customer in Sweden has received his Polestar 2 from the company's global headquarters in Gothenburg.
Göteborg Energi, Parkeringsbolaget and Higab recently presented a joint, major initiative to expand the charging infrastructure during the autumn of 2020, which will create even more charging points for the public.
These fresh news items all demonstrate how Gothenburg is leading the way towards sustainable transports.
It's a journey that has already begun into a future where vehicles are electrified, fossil-free and almost completely silent. The aim is a city with an entirely fossil-free transport system no later than 2030.
ATTRACTING INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION
Business Region Göteborg is responsible for coordinating the city's various initiatives and investments.
"Gothenburg is a recognised leader in this area and the city's various initiatives are structured, wide-reaching and coordinated, all of which is attracting international attention," says Maria Strömberg, Head of Clusters & Innovation at Business Region Göteborg.
"Succeeding with this requires wide-ranging collaboration between the city, its surrounding municipalities, companies and residents in order to arrive at the best solutions for residents, visitors and the business community. Both passenger and freight transport need to function in this enormous technological transition. It also requires behavioural adaptations, where, for example, rather than using one mode of transport, we are open to a variety of options and combinations that result in more efficient transportation with lower emissions," she says.
A COMPLETE VALUE CHAIN FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Per Österström, Head of Transport and Automotive Industry, Cluster & Industry Development at Business Region Göteborg is working closely with Gothenburg's various vehicle clusters and he knows the industry better than most.
"In Gothenburg, we have a complete value chain for the vehicle industry. There aren't many places in the world where you can move from concept to finished product in the same way that we are doing here. We have a ripe climate for collaboration, a systems approach and a complete ecosystem for building vehicles, coping with the shift to electrification and digital technologies and connecting the entire transport system," he says.
GOTHENBURG WILL BECOME A TEST BED AND SHOWROOM
The role of Business Region Göteborg in this transition to a fossil-free transport system is to lead the process, coordinate and initiate new forms of collaboration between the various stakeholders involved, each one of whom is responsible for an enormous piece in the puzzle for achieving the ultimate goal.
"For the companies involved in creating solutions, Gothenburg will also become a test bed, showroom and springboard for taking on a global market." says Maria Strömberg.
Being part of Smart City Sweden, the national export platform for sustainable city solutions, is one example of how Business Region Göteborg connects exporting companies with international decision makers already today. Companies with solutions are displayed along with best practices from our region and we can offer tailor-made programs both online and onsite for delegations.

Mayhem do not change any textures.
Thanks man, this looks excellent!
I used your mod as visual core for my LxXRM modding package.
People have still to download it normal, i just added a bat unzipper and installer , to make it work smooth.
I added the Pure Hud too and the result is really wonderful, it comes with XRM and TCAP and all and it really works like a charm.
The selection and credits screen at start looks really cool, its really proofs the 3.5.
Is there a change log? I'm interested in the changes from 2.1 to 3.0.

Yes, maybe the first post on this page (n.11) could be used like a change log.

Yes, ok, I have no problem with that.... G.J.
FWIW, this mod crashes my game at the start screen.
Guessing you might have compressed textures that are not compatible with the linux port.
If this is the case, it probably won't run on MacOS either.

Aynway, i will update the LxXRM mod if you both can check it out.

This will be probably only Linux problem. He can't start the game with my mod. I have no idea what can make the problem.
This mod looks awesome, downloading now, and thank you for making it!
A few questions: 1. if I have both Litube's and IEX installed with the IEX LU patch, how do I install the compatibility packs? Do I copy both of them and install after all the other files? 2. Also, can I install and play mid game, or do I have to start a new game? 3. And finally, Mayhem 2.5 will have a custom IE + IEX background, so will the patches for LU and IEX still work?


Vamizi is the largest island in the Quirimbas Archipelago. Its relative isolation from mainland Mozambique has preserved its natural beauty and wildlife. It has magnificent coral reefs and is a unique breeding ground for whales, dolphins, turtles and sharks. This reef is also the only place in East Africa where "mass spawning" has been observed among corals, which means they are healthy and help other corals, near and far, to reproduce and grow as well as stabilize the ecosystems around it. This fragile realm is however under threat. We follow a team of scientists from around the world who fight to stop the damage before it starts, accompanied by stunning imagery from renowned National Geographic photographer Mattias Klum.
Mattias Klum was born in Uppsala, Sweden in 1968 and started taking pictures in his teens. He has worked full-time as a freelance photographer since 1986, and as a cinematographer and director on numerous film and television projects since 1994. In an artistic way that is entirely his own, Klum describes and portrays animals, plants and natural and cultural settings in the form of articles, books, films, lectures and exhibitions.

We finish the session with reflexology massage on the feet.
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying direct sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore range of motion.
Lymph massage, also known in variations as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) or Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT), is a gentle, relaxing form of massage that helps the body's lymphatic system get moving again while reinforcing immune function.
