March to Iran Moderation Paved with Human Rights Cruelty
In a short period of time, the Obama administration has boasted of diplomatic rapprochements with Russia, Cuba and now the Iranian regime in a dizzying display of gymnastic statecraft worthy of Olympic gold. In each case, totalitarian regimes that have historically been in the diplomatic doghouse as sponsors of terrorism and human rights violators are now on the receiving end of financial largess and formalized diplomatic relations.
It is an odd reversal that has been made all-the stranger with the rapturous media coverage of the just completed parliamentary elections in Iran in which the assertion has been repeatedly made that "moderates" and "reformists" marched to victory and have set the stage for a dramatic turnaround in the regime's future.
That is about as likely as Donald Trump mellowing out on the presidential campaign trail.
Many are starting to puncture the balloon of moderation hopes flowing from these elections, such as Victoria Coates, author of "David's Sling: A History of Democracy in Ten Works of Art" and the senior advisor for foreign policy to Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz. Writing in the Washington Times, she said:
"As much as I hate to be a skunk at the garden party, this election was no cause for celebration. The Council of Experts purged any real reformists from the rolls of candidates in January. About half the candidates for parliament were dropped, along with three-quarters for the Council, including all women. What remained were the candidates who are, each and every one of them, acceptable to the Ayatollah Khamenei. It is barely short of delusional, for example, to suggest that the election to the Council of former President Akbar Rafsanjani, who insisted just last July that Israel should be wiped off the map, or current President Hasan Rouhani, who has presided over the most brutal spike in executions in the world during his administration, will result in any sort of meaningful reform to Iran's foreign or domestic policy."
"We must not let our natural—and laudable—hopes for liberalization in Iran blind us to what is really happening. Have we already forgotten that just six weeks ago ten American sailors were on their knees with Iranian guns pointed at their heads? This election was nothing more or less than another carefully choreographed and controlled exercise in perpetuating the status quo in Iran, made all the more necessary by the prospect of a high-level transition of power," Coates adds. "History teaches us the hard lesson that political freedom neither inevitable nor imperishable. But just because democracy isn't really springing up in Tehran doesn't mean there is no hope for it."
Another voice of criticism comes from Iranian human rights lawyer and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi, who fled Iran and now lives in exile in London, who spoke to Mother Jones magazine on the situation within the regime, especially the vetting process for candidates:
"The people are fed up with corruption and embezzlement. They object to censorship. The first thing that the people of Iran want is free elections. The government of Iran claims that every two years there are elections. But none of them are free. The competence of the people who have been nominated first has to be approved by the Guardian Council. It is a vetting process, and only then can Iranians elect these people. Yet the members of the Guardian Council are not elected by the people. They have been appointed by the leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei]. Any person who has the slightest criticism will not be approved. Over 40 percent of the people who have been nominated have not been approved," she said.
Ebadi also took to task the regime's policies in Syria and Yemen which have yielded two large proxy wars that have killed thousands and displaced millions of refugees.
"The role of Iran has been very destructive. As an Iranian, I apologize to the civilian people of Syria who have been killed as a result of the useless intervention of Iran in Syria. It was with the aid of government Iran that the Houthis in Yemen were able to capture Sana'a. It is totally unacceptable for a government to interfere in the internal affairs of another government and send aid, money, and weapons, to the people who are against a certain regime in another country," she said.
Her and Coates's words were echoed by Ilan Berman, vice president of the American Foreign Policy Council, writing in a column for USA Today.
"The ranks of those ultimately selected to populate the 290 seats of the majles and the 88 seats of the Assembly of Experts are filled with more than a few radicals. They include former Intelligence Ministers Ghorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi and Mohammad Reyshahri, both of whom are widely suspected of perpetrating murders and disappearances during their times in office, and Ali Razini, the chief prosecutor of Iran's Revolutionary Court, which supervises all political executions in the Islamic Republic. A string of other, lesser known candidates nonetheless have similarly hardline pedigrees," Berman writes.
"Their inclusion isn't an accident. It is, rather, an inevitable function of the political horse-trading that took place ahead of the polls, as the various "lists" of candidates scrambled to put together a winning ticket after the mass exclusion of real progressives. As a result, many of Iran's hardliners have just been given a new lease on political life, albeit under a different ideological moniker," he adds.
Adam Kredo, writing in the Free Beacon, noted more of the so-called "moderates" elected who are in fact some of the worst violators of human rights in Iran, including:
Ali Movahedi-Kermani, a radical Iranian cleric, also received support from Iran's moderate factions. He has threatened to "trample upon America," as well as bombS. and Israeli interests;
Mohammed Emami-Kashani, another radical cleric who won a seat on the assembly with the backing of moderates, has blamed the U.S. and Israel for creating al Qaeda;
Other election winners backed by reformists include Ayatollah Yousef Tabatabaeenejad, a religious radical who has called on civilians to use violence in order to enforce strict dress codes for women.
Kredo noted that other so-called reformist winners also have a history of calling for the destruction of Israel and America and reportedly sponsored attacks on political dissidents; one of whom Kredo quoted from.
Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran, whose main group is the MEK (PMOI), said that candidates were carefully screened to ensure their allegiance to Khamenei's hardline camp.
"A glance at the list of candidates presented by the regime's various factions leaves no doubt that the choice was merely between different factions responsible for suppression, execution, exporting terrorism, warmongering, and plundering the Iranian people's wealth," Rajavi said in a statement following the election.

Prows Lab
Spontaneous Mutants
Prows Research Lab
Research in the Prows Lab seeks to identify genetic determinants controlling variation in complex human traits by establishing a specific mouse model that captures one or more important features of the human disease. This approach is potentially amenable to any measureable trait of interest, but a primary focus of the lab has been to determine major genetic factors affecting differential susceptibility to acute lung injury (ALI) induced by inhaled oxidants and highly toxic inhaled chemicals (HTICs).
The long-term goals of these projects are to identify key genes and pathological mechanisms critical in the differential pulmonary responses to inhaled toxic agents, and to assess pharmaceutical and/or therapeutic targets for translational studies. To this end, the lab has established several mouse models of oxidant-induced ALI susceptibility, for which an integrative approach of directed breeding, microarray/RNA-Seq expression, and positional candidate gene analyses is being used to identify the major genetic factors affecting differential ALI response. Targeted exome sequencing and resequencing confirmation of top candidate genes will be done to pinpoint the causal gene(s), and follow-up in vitro and in vivo studies will be performed to validate the causal gene(s). Two genetics projects ongoing in the lab utilize continuous hyperoxia (i.e., >95% oxygen; O2) or ozone (O3; 10 ppm) to induce ALI. Many congenic and subcongenic lines of mice have been constructed for both oxidative injuries. Recently, we have proposed extending these mouse models to screen susceptibility differences to other HTICs, including important occupational and environmental agents.

Writing real news about real people is a joy and this past week we have met old friends who have come back to Northern Cyprus and we have been able to write more about them plus bring so many more fascinating articles.
We do appeal to our readers to send articles early as contributions being received on a Friday run the risk of not being included in our latest issue. Burning the midnight oil is not the best way to work so do try to help us, thank you.


otto" or "Conversation" cards show up in the stocklists of most mid-19th century stationers; it's clear they sold well—used examples are common. The etiquette of relationship in the 19th century required the use of personal cards to initiate acquaintance and to maintain it; cards were presented personally or left in lieu of a face-to-face visit on a daily basis. Among the upper classes, these cards were engraved—and scrupulously chaste in design; keeping a stock of them represented an investment. But not only the rich used cards; pre-printed cards, with a place in which to write your name, were a solution for the middle and lower classes. These cards were anything but chaste in design! I have seen as many originals signed with male as with female names; quite a few have been signed in pencil rather than ink—another hint to the class of society who bought and used these cards.
There are four different designs: "THE MODEST ROSE. The modest Rose, where'er it grows,/A perfume round it flings;/Love's chosen flower, to beauty's bow'r;An added grace it brings."; "FLOWERS. Day stars, that ope your eyes with morn to twinkle/From rainbow galaxies of earth's creation/And dew-drops on her lovely altar sprinkle/As a libation:/Your voiceless lips, oh flowers, are living teachers [sic]/Each cup a pulpit, and each leaf a book,Supplying to my fancy numerous teachers/From loneliest nook."; "BE PATIENT. The maid, whose manners are retired,/Who patient waits to be admired—Though overlooked, perhaps, awhile,/Her modest worth—her modest smile—/Oh! she will find or soon or late,/A noble, fond, and faithful mate."; "SWEET MEMORY OF THEE. The brightest rose, when faded,/Flings forth o'er its tomb/Its velvet leaves, laded/With silent perfume./Thus around me will hover,/in grief or in glee,/'Till life's dream be over,/Sweet memories of thee." Printed one side in metallic gold ink on glossy white cardstock, exactly matching the originals.
Besides the obvious use as personal cards, soldiers may consider keeping one in their wallet as a treasured memento of "the Girl I Left Behind Me." Items such as this provide a silent witness to the larger world outside the reenactment camp or restored house; powerful out of all proportion to their size, they can be tinder and fuel for first-person interpretation of issues otherwise impossible to recreate in our impressions.
Sold as 2 dozen cards, 6 of each design.


Loveworks is an after-school program for at-risk middle school students here in Norman.
Since our inception in 2011, we have reached over 10,000 students, ages 11-14 years old from a wide range of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Our programs are designed to empower the creativity, resourcefulness, and potential within each student in an effort to develop their character, academic, and leadership abilities to ensure future success. Hundreds of volunteers and community professionals help facilitate initiatives that include: experiential leadership projects, community outreach, personal character development, career components, and mentorship.
My wife and I volunteered there for a couple of years in college and we both remain very close with the people that run it, so we know firsthand how much they impact the community.
Last week, Loveworks abruptly lost their main source of funding. Programming for the next semester is still scheduled to start on August 27th. In order to start the semester, they need to raise $16,000 by August 30th. To make it through they year, they need $124,000.
If you have any extra money to spare, I can't think of a more deserving place to give it than to Loveworks.
Please consider donating to keep the doors open for this wonderful program.

Now that he's retired from competition, all of 27 years old, we can let you in on a little secret about Aaron Peirsol, the greatest backstroke swimmer the United States of America ever produced. It has always been one of the great joys of journalism to write about Aaron, winner of seven Olympic medals, five of them gold.
Win or lose, Aaron has always gracious, thoughtful, passionate. Any competition was better because Aaron was there, big or small. Especially small. That's when you really got a chance to talk to him -- and even in the weirdness of what's called the "mixed zone," where athletes and reporters mingle, the breadth and depth of his interests would inevitably surface, anything and everything from politics and current events to literature to his zeal for environmental protection.
Even at the biggest of the big meets he was a champ, and in the biggest sense of that word. At the world championships two years ago in Rome, when he didn't qualify for the finals of the 100-meter backstroke, a race he had essentially owned, he straight-up said it was his own fault. He didn't pout. He came back and won the 200 back, and broke his own world record.
Aaron formally announced his retirement earlier this year, and as they say, one door closes and another opens. Now the sport has on call one of the greatest ambassadors you could ever ask for. And the man is totally willing.
His message: swimming is more than just up and down, back and forth, in a pool, looking down at that black stripe.
Swimming is about water, and our planet is water, and water is life itself.
"If I could get each swimmer on the [U.S.] national team one thing," Aaron was saying the other day, "it would be a pair of body-surfing fins.
"Get out there and have fun. Don't lose perspective on why you do this."
Training for the Olympics can, let's face it, be a grind. But the fact is, that kind of training imbues dozens if not hundreds of hometown standouts with an enviable skill set. That's a simple message that Aaron is trying to get other elite swimmers to try to better understand.
Because if they can understand it -- it stands to reason that they can pass that message along.
This is, actually, the way it works. Aaron grew up looking up at the guys who seemed larger than life -- the guys who already knew how to handle the famed Wedge in Newport Beach, California, one of the world's most famous spots for surfing of all sorts. He started in the Junior Lifeguard program in Southern California. At 17, he and his buddies were big enough, good enough and one day confident enough to tackle the Wedge on their own.
Now he's the one with the message. Again, this is how it all works, and how it's supposed to work.
"It's so great to be able to understand that even when you're done with swimming in the pool you have the ability to experience something, to take it to another level -- to use this skill and ability to take it to a level that maybe few people can, to understand that you have a gift. It's just the tip of the iceberg for so many swimmers.
"So many guys on the national team are like, 'I'm never going in the ocean.' I'm like, 'You're joking.' That's why we do this -- so you can get thrown around and be active and explore a little bit with what you can do out there."
This past weekend, in Florida, Aaron took part in an open-ocean race held in honor of Fran Crippen, the American swimmer who died in a race last October in Dubai.
In February, on the North Shore of Oahu, Aaron was among those who took part in the 2011 Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic. Sure, some of those there knew who he was. But the way to earn credibility in that crowd is to do what comes naturally to Aaron Peirsol -- to move with humility and to treat everyone and everything around you, and in particular the ocean, with respect.
"This competition was my first at Pipeline," he said. "I was hesitant because I hadn't gone out a week in advance and practiced, or anything like that. I had only gotten there the night before. I went out early that morning and I was just trying to be as humble as I could be.
"It was so much fun. The waves were such pretty waves. They were just as perfect as could be. You get in the wave and you pick a line and it just shoots you out. It was a good-sized day -- none of it was too big or too scary. Everyone was just having fun.
"For me it was felt so good. It felt like home in my own way. It was nice."
He said, "I would just love to see -- I would just love to have swimmers understand what they have."


Having another free weekend in the Kanto area, we decided to finally visit Kawagoe, a town with many preserved kurazukuri warehouses from the Edo period, also known as Koedo (little Edo). Kawagoe, located in Saitama prefecture Northeast of Tokyo had been on our radar for a while, but we had never actually made it there. From Kawagoe station (Hon-kawagoe is a little nearer), it's about 1km walk along a pedestrian shopping street to the Kurazukuri zone of the historical buildings.
In our quest to see new sights in Kyoto, we decided to visit Chishakuin, the headquarters of the Chisan School of the Shingon Sect of Buddhism, located at the height of Shichijo, at the foot of Higashiyama. Being somewhat off the beaten track, it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful there (and as often, not really any worse than the completely overrun main sights). Behind the majestic Kon-do, smaller temple halls are nestled in the wooded foothills of Higashiyama. A special attraction is however its scenic garden.
As always, we are also spending some time in Kyoto. The winter weather being what it is, we've had some sunshine, but also some cloudy weather. But we try to make the best of it, trying not to get too cold visiting temples in our socks and always buying too many cute things when we enter shops to warm up.
Happy 2019! It's the Year of the Boar (and even though I failed to take a picture, we managed to procure the zodiac tenugui this time). And we went, bright and early (and before the police closed the direct access due to overcrowding), up to Yushima Tenjin, in time to see the first sunrise of the New Year.
Later on, as usual, we went to Odaiba to enjoy the bright day, the beach and the Unicorn Gundam. Unfortunately, my plan to buy more Gunpla Model Kits got thwarted due to an enormous crowd queuing for fukubukuro at the Gundam Base.
We're back in Japan for a few weeks! In these last two days, we have been up and down Tokyo already. So many things to do (not to mention to eat!) in such a short time!
Apart from our usual haunts in Asakusa and Ueno, we've also been to the Nihombashi and Ginza nighborhoods.
For the first time, we had a look at the actual Nihombashi bridge, but thanks to a new highway over the river, it has effectively turned into an underpass. So despite some fancy dragons adorning the bridge, the overall effect is quite underwhelming.

Why is DTMA Implementing a Stormwater Fee?
The costs associated with the upkeep and maintenance of the Township's stormwater infrastructure has grown over the years as the system size and complexity have increased. Additionally, upcoming changes to the Township's MS4 Permit will require capital expenditures for pollution reduction measures and increased permit compliance costs. Finally, impairments to our local streams are a Township-wide issue that needs to be addressed. Addressing pollution generated from stormwater is a big part of solving our local water quality impairments.
A Stakeholders Advisory Committee (SAC) was formed in late 2015 to begin addressing the stormwater needs of the Township and determine an equitable fee structure to fund those needs. The SAC identified over $27 million in stormwater improvement needs and determined a Stormwater Program Fee based on impervious area (IA) was the most equitable way to fund the program. Impervious area is any surface which inhibits infiltration of rainfall into the soil. This includes pavement (asphalt, concrete, etc.), rooftops, patios, sidewalks, and compacted graveled surfaces such as parking areas and driveways. Numerous studies have shown that IA is a strong indicator of both the quantity and quality of stormwater.
Once the Stormwater Program Fee method was determined, an analysis of the Township's IA was conducted and this information was used to calculate a fee. The fee is based on an Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU), which was statistically determined to be 3,800 square feet. The DTMA Board set the ERU fee at $6.50/month/ERU. This fee was calculated by taking the monetary costs to run the program and dividing by the number of ERUs in the Township. The DTMA Board set the fee implementation date as January 1, 2017. So beginning in January 2017, property owners in Derry Township with a minimum of 500 square feet of IA will begin receiving a stormwater program fee bill. For those property owners who already receive a sewer bill, the stormwater fee will be a new line item on that bill. Those property owners who aren't connected to the public sewer will receive a stand-alone stormwater bill. For the typical residential home (1 ERU), the stormwater fee will be $6.50/month ($78.00/annually). For non-residential properties, the stormwater fee will be calculated by dividing their total IA by 3,800 square feet to determine the number of ERUs. The number of ERUs will be multiplied by $6.50 to determine the monthly charge. For example, a commercial property with 19,000 square feet would equal 5 ERUs (19,000/3,800 = 5). That property's monthly fee would be 5 x $6.50 = $32.50 ($390.00 annually).
DTMA is continuing to work with the SAC and process public comments from the first two public meetings to finalize the implementation of the Stormwater Program Fee. When the Stormwater Program Fee was being developed, it was determined that a portion of the fee would be a fixed amount to cover the operation and maintenance aspects of the stormwater program and MS4 permit and the remaining portion would be variable. This variable portion of the fee was designed to incentivize property owners to address stormwater issues on their properties and communities. When a property owner conducts an activity that improves the amount, rate, or quality of stormwater generated on their property, a credit to their fee will be applied. The details of this process will be covered in DTMA's Credit Policy, which is currently under development. The continued development and implementation of the Credit Policy is the next major focus of the SAC.
If you've received your stormwater bill and you think there might be an error, you should file a Stormwater Adjustment Appeal. A DTMA representative will review the Stormwater Adjustment Appeal within five (5) business days of receipt of the completed form. Approved adjustments will be applied to the current stormwater bill and all future billings. To file an appeal, please click on the button below.

Hi there. I have been creating a birthday card again, and really had fun with the colours and the die cutting.
I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday, but where the left hand side of the sketch looks like twine, I have done three embossed lines, well, debossed lines!
However, I soon realised that the more I added the flowers, then the more these lines would be covered….I hope it still counts…..
The flowers are from Altenew Hello Sunshine, which is one of my favourite stamp sets, but then anything from Altenew could be included in that list of favourite things!
I stamped the flowers using Tranquil Tide and Dapper Denim, then die cut them with the matching set, and then started to play with the layout and the base colours. I didn't think I was going to lay the flowers all around the white rectangle – but it just happened, and I liked it.
I also thought about colouring the flowers with the same colours, but I tried on a couple of extra ones I had stamped, and didn't like it. I like this effect – even though the card could be considered busy, I still think it's quite clean, lots of open space. I find I am tending towards that genre more and more – though I also like to 'chuck' everything at a card every now and again.
Hello again, everyone. It's been snowing around here, but not settled – just cold, and windy, but actually quite crisp and clear at the moment. I will be driving north up the M1 shortly, hopefully not coming across too much bad weather!
This selection of cards were made using a new die from Altenew – the Doodled Lace cover die. Now, I have quite simple here, using only three colours of card, but I changed each card – using the same three colours – into a different card each time. I changed where the sentiment went, and one card I cut off one edge of the die-cut to see how that looked.
I am going to be playing with this die a little more – colouring, paper-piecing etc – but these cards quite simple, quite easy – and dare I say – quite elegant?
I don't think the lace detail comes out very well in the pictures, and I may add some gilding wax to the black die-cut…..
Hello. I am sharing one of my Christmas card makes with you today, made with neutral colours – and a little bit of bling!
The base card is an 8 inch square Kraft card, to which I added some square layers cut with Sue Wilson stitched squares. I also cut out a frame using two of the squares together. On one of the layers, I die cut the Sue Wilson trees, and stuck that down with a double-sided sticky sheet, so that I could add some Tim Holtz Distress Glitter to the open spaces. I have several colours of distress glitter, and find it gives a shine – but not over the top.
I then die cut Sue Wilson Deer Family, inking through the die with some distress ink to give some interest. Putting it all together, I stuck the deer down with a combination of foam pads and glue, depending on which part of the deer was inside the frame or on it.
The sentiment is from Altenew, and so are the little stars I added to each side.
Hello again. A short posting with a fairly simple card for you today. A couple of colours, a little stamping.
I used a stamp set from Stamps By Me, and the Altenew Crimson ink. Using my Misti, I inked the stamp then spritzed the inked stamp with water, before then stamping it. I wanted a water-colour effect, and not a solid block of colour on the flowers. I did this twice with each position.
The card is an 8 inch square card, and therefore I used the same stamp three times across the width of the card. I used the outline stamp in Stampin Up Basic Grey, but I didn't actually like the muted effect of the grey outline, so I then went in with a black gel pen and kinda scribbled around the same outline. I added some extra lines myself, to get a more hap-hazard effect.
I used some green ink and my water brush, to create a 'floor' underneath the flowers, and added some green to some of the stems.
I did contemplate using a sentiment, but I actually like the card as it is. In this way, it can be used for any occasion.
Hello everyone. A quick posting for today, as I made some Christmas cards last night. I was inspired by the Paper Players 'Holiday Pines' photograph, and hunted out my pine boughs and pine cone stamps.
The pine branches are from Catherine Pooler, and the pine cones are from Card-io/Majestix. I kept the feel quite vintage, and used a Stampin Up green for the branches, first and second generation stamping to create some dimension.
I then waited for the ink to dry, and stamped the pine cones in Ranger Perfect Medium, heat embossed with Creative Expressions gold embossing powder. I used the same embossing powder on the Altenew sentiment. I think I have captured some of the shine on the pine cones, but it really does look much better in 'real life'.
I was so engrossed in making this card, and liked how it turned out, that I went on to make several of them. I may make some more changing it to silver embossing powder, but I don't think it'll turn out as effective – we shall see.
I hope you are taking part in the current Inkspirational challenge with me as Guest Designer – I look forward to seeing you there.
A quick posting for today, showing different ways – using same colours – to stamp the same layering image. I used the Altenew Sketched Evergreen as I love this tree, and the three layers are easy enough to line up, but if you miss slightly – it doesn't matter.
I used Altenew inks also, and used some WOW! embossing powder for the final layer on two of the cards. I have tried to photograph them, but we all know how notoriously hard it is to get the sparkle and shine easily seen.
The embossing powder actually comes out with a whiteness and sparkle to it, which I liked on the darker tree image, as it gives the impression of snow, I think. DO you?
The sentiment is stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder. On the lighter tree, I stamped in green, then went over it with Ranger Perfect Medium and used the WOW! powder again, but I must have moved the card – even though using my Misti. The embossing came out slightly off-set……..but I actually like it. It created a shadow effect which I tried to reproduce on another card – failed mightily(!!) – but will definitely keep trying to do it again. Happy accident's, huh?
I did think about a star on top of the tree, or presents underneath the tree, or baubles, but keep it very simple. The embossing powder doesn't need much else – and is much more effective in 'real life'.

The Pros and Cons of using App Discovery Services
I was lucky enough to be approached by AppTurbo shortly after my game Directional Dash was released. AppTurbo are a app discovery service, they are one of many currently on the AppStore. AppGratis made huge headlines earlier in the year for being banned for doing the same thing so getting an invite to their service was a huge buzz for me.
App discovery services are a powerful way of getting your app or game to the masses, they promote your paid app as a free download for 24 hours. People flock in from all over the world and grab your product (because they will download anything if its free). Usually you would pay thousands of dollars to get access to their user base, but on this occasion I was fortunate enough to get a good deal, you should approach them yourself for a good deal.
Sound great, sure, it is but it has its downsides.
Downloads! Lots of them.
During Directional Dash's free 48 hour period, AppTurbo blasted us with over 45,000 brand new players. Directional Dash was only promoted in Italy and Germany too, they have tons of other countries on their books too. That number is insane and something I could only dream of previously. You just can't fault the numbers.
Oh I love a good stat and going to the top of the Puzzle / Family charts in a number of countries is a great thing to achieve. Directional Dash even got to the number 1 slot for Puzzle/Family in the Netherlands (Although the above AppAnnie chart doesn't show it at number one, which is strange. Applyzer has different stats, showing my game as number 1.)
Luckily I took a screen shot.
Getting ranked 'overall' is also a huge buzz, I got additional media coverage which would not of normally happened. In my experience getting the press to write about a little one man studio who hasn't had any commercial success is very tough. I've had some minor breakthroughs and cherish every single word.
I got a mention on Razorian Fly which was a huge boost for my download figures.
Doing a google search for "Directional Dash" now shows 23,200 results which has to be good for SEO and discovery.
Some would say that this could be in the Pro category too, but the reason why I added it to the Cons is that I receieved a large number of negative reviews. Now i'm very aware that my game perhaps isn't the most polished game, I'm aware that its on the cheaper side of development and I'm aware that its not perfect. But one thing that has stood out to me in the past is that the core concept is a good one and i've had hundreds of accounts of people being addicted to it.
I feel the negative reviews have come from appealing to the masses, not everyone likes to play puzzle games. My wife can't play my game, it's just not her thing and I think the same applies to a ton of the downloads I achieved.
I got comments like 'Not worth it' and 'Annoying' which are fine if they justify a reason, but no – It's just the way it is.
I did get some positive reviews. Just more negative which could be seen as a step backwards.
Cloned / Hacked
Yep it happened, my beloved game which I have spent thousands of pounds developing has been hacked and cracked, and available for free for jailbroken devices. I'm sure there are ways to avoid this happening but alas, it happened. I'm not cross, just disappointed. £0.69 is a huge investment right?
I feal it got hacked because of yep… appealing to the masses, the more people who knew about it the higher the risk it would fall into the hands of someone who thinks it would be a good idea to rip off an indie developer.
Not AppTurbo's fault, but its a risk when your game/app is opened up to thousands of new people.
Leaderboard Hacking
My Game Center leader board is now pretty much useless, one player has registered an illegal score, pushing all my dedicated players down in Game Center. As far as I know there is nothing I can do, just appologise for someone taking advantage and spoiling everyones fun. Plus the more people play the hacked version, the more illegal scores will be submitted. I fear it's only going to get worse. But this is no way AppTurbo's fault.
If you get the chance then go for it, its a great way to expand your network and get a ton of new players/ users of your app.
Dealing with AppTurbo was a pleasure, Mariana was lovely and I wish them the best success, I fear that Apple will target them next, just as they have targeted AppGratis.
Once these services disappear (as i'm sure they will) it will be harder and harder for indie developers to get any form of success.
While I have it, i'm holding onto it and proud to be a #1 game!

Q: Rails: incomplete paths for devise I had a site with devise. I installed ActiveAdmin and removed it.
Now my complete list of paths is
rake routes
    new_user_session GET    /users/sign_in(.:format)               {:action=>"new", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}
        user_session POST   /users/sign_in(.:format)               {:action=>"create", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format)              {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}
       user_password POST   /users/password(.:format)              {:action=>"create", :controller=>"devise/passwords"}
   new_user_password GET    /users/password/new(.:format)          {:action=>"new", :controller=>"devise/passwords"}
  edit_user_password GET    /users/password/edit(.:format)         {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"devise/passwords"}
                     PUT    /users/password(.:format)              {:action=>"update", :controller=>"devise/passwords"}
                root        /                                      {:controller=>"codes", :action=>"list"}
                            /:controller(/:action(/:id(.:format)))

There is no paths like new_user_registration_path or edit_user_registration_path, that described in devise wiki.
How can I to restore that links?

A: Did you configure your User model (or whatever model you are using devise with) with the correct options. See https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#configuring-models
You are probably missing:
devise :registerable

Every morning I would wake up at 5:30am, reach for my BBT thermometer, pull up my Fertility Friend app and await my mood. If my temps looked "normal" I would be happy. If my temps looked like a roller coaster from hell, I would be sad, confused, and depressed. I hate to admit it, but over the last few months, my mood has been determined by my BBT temp.
Anyone else's mood dictated by their daily BBT reading?
This cycle I'm putting away the BBT thermometer and thinking positive. I'm sure at some point I'll kick myself for not temping, but for now it feels really good to be free!
Currently I'm on day 4 of clomid 150mg. I now understand the difference between taking 50mg & 100mg as opposed to 150mg...NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, HEADACHES, HOT FLASHES, and BACK PAIN.
Not sure if it's good news, but this is the first time I haven't had crazy amounts of cervical mucus.
I'm REALLY nervous about CloMood kicking in. I didn't have really bad mood swings until AFTER taking the pills and it lasted about two weeks. I would like to apologize in advance to my family, friends, coworkers for anything I might say or do in the near future. I can't control my hormones, I'm sorry.

Add 2 heaped teaspoons to a bowl or the palm of your hand, add warm water drop by drop until a smooth thick paste is achieved. Apply it to damp skin pressing the paste well into the skin. With a pressing and lifting movement work the product all over face. Leave for 2-5 minutes and rinse off with a muslin cloth or sponge.


Reason for Stay: 78-year-old male was hospitalized from Good Samaritan for lethargy and an infected diabetic ulcer. He has a history of Atrial Fibrillation, Arthritis, Chronic Kidney Disease, Obesity, Hypertension, and Colon Cancer. He also had a right heel wound that was non-weight bearing.
Joseph McDole came to the Willows on 10/12/18 from Good Samaritan Hospital. After his admission he was evaluated by Physical and Occupational Therapy, as well as Nursing. With the information from his medical records and from speaking with him personally, a plan and a set of goals were put in place. During his first month in therapy he was completely non-weight bearing on his right foot due to the wound on his right heel. Therapy was geared around strengthening his legs despite the fact he was unable to ambulate safely. Seated leg exercises with weights and resistance were provided as one method to return him back to his original and prior levels. He was also instructed to perform transfers while maintaining non-weight on his right foot. In mid November he was able to begin walking with the use of a boot as his strength had began to build.
As the weeks progressed, he was able to walk independently around The Willows with support of a rolling walker. Through the support of Occupational Therapy, he began to work on all of his morning ADL's (activities of daily living) in preparation of a hopeful and anticipated return home. Due to his non-weight bearing status dressing sometimes came with great difficulty. With support, instruction, and training from his Occupational Therapist, he was able to begin slowly making progress, not only with his morning care, but also his ability to independently dress!
The concierge was constantly visiting him and looking out for his needs. Another thing that aided his recovery was the frequent visits from his family. His daughter came to visit him at least once a day during meal times. Joseph always ate his meals in the dining room to interact with other residents and patients. He really enjoyed his meals and the conversations and laughs had with others around him.
The day for Joseph to return home finally came as he was now able to adapt to his non-weight bearing status and his adaptive equipment. He was confident in his ability to now lead an independent and functional lifestyle. Joseph was extremely happy with his stay and care provided to him here at The Willows. We wish him nothing but the very best moving forward!

Albemarle freezes Chile expansion plans in wake of lithium tech scrutiny
Nov 8 (Reuters) - Albemarle Corp's chief executive officer on Thursday defended a previously announced process the company has said could boost lithium production in Chile, but then postponed two expansion projects that would have needed the new technology to be successful.
Albemarle said it will stop engineering work on its planned La Negra V and VI expansion projects. The company had said last year it developed a process that would more than triple its lithium output in Chile without using more water, an announcement that drew scrutiny from regulators.
"All (Chilean regulators) want to see is some proof that it's going to work before they give it to us. That's it. It is not a big deal, OK? It's not a big deal. And we only need it if we build," La Negra V and VI, Chief Executive Officer Luke Kissam said on a conference call with investors. (Reporting by Ernest Scheyder in Houston; Editing by Bernard Orr)
