The 15th Annual Organicfest, held Aug. 28 in Pack Square Park, celebrated all things green, organic, local and sustainable. A wide variety of health-focused and environmentally conscious vendors offered sustainably sourced, organic whole foods, wellness services, arts and crafts for kids and live music performances, plus the downtown water park, Splashville, was open all day to keep the kids to stay cool in the summer heat.
"In celebration of National Organic Month," says festival organizer Debi Athos, "the Organicfest was created to spotlight, connect, share and grow our rich organic community of farmers, artists and businesses with our community. Organicfest is presented by a local, all-volunteer nonprofit group in partnership with Asheville Greenworks to present a low impact, green event." This year's festival brought plenty of ecofriendly fun to downtown Asheville.
ORGANIC FUN: Splashville was open all day for Organicfest attendees.

The music world may often focus on the performers on stage, but these are the eyes and ears behind the scenes. Join WatchMojo.com as we count down our picks for the Top 10 Music Producers. For this list, we'll be ranking the most influential music producers with a successful legacy and track record for engineering hit records.
The music world may often focus on the performers on stage, but these are the eyes and ears behind the scenes. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Music Producers.
For this list, we'll be ranking the most influential music producers with a successful legacy and track record for engineering hit records. We'll be excluding EDM producers, however, as we've already covered them in two prior video lists.
If you were to listen to any pop song released in the early and mid millennium, then it's highly likely that this first producer on our list was somehow involved. This Virginia born singer, songwriter, rapper and DJ also was a go-to force behind the scene for many top artists of the day, including pop sensations Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado. Timbaland also has a thriving solo career of his own, however, making him the perfect producer to provide insight on both a technical and performance level for those under his wing.
A smooth, polished sheen is the sonic trademark of this demanding British producer. Mutt Lang, whose name shot to major fame in the 1980s, thanks to his work with hard rockers Def Leppard on their Hysteria and Pyromania LPs as well as projects with AC/DC, Bryan Adams, and the Cars. Layers of sound and multiple takes were the hallmark of this production workhorse, as Mutt Lange not only got the best out of guitar-heavy rock bands, but also the softer and more pop focused country music songs of his former wife Shania Twain.
The name David Foster might not immediately ring a bell for casual radio fans, but this man behind the scenes has been responsible not only for producing, but for composing or co-writing some of pop music's most gigantic hits. Although Foster began his work in rock 'n roll, working with the likes of Alice Cooper, it was the man's genius, almost effortless approach to arranging melodic pop songs which made him a go-to collaborator for such megastars such as Whitney Houston, Josh Groban and Celine Dion who have helped him win 16 Grammy Awards.
The Wall of Sound. This was producer Phil Spector's claim to musical fame as he first blasted onto the scene in the late fifties and early sixties. Spector's production style was large, layered and bombastic, with the maestro possessing a relentlessly obsessive passion for perfection. The New York native rose to prominence thanks to his writing, arranging and production work on such musical classics as The Ronnettes' "Be My Baby" and the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'". Unfortunately Spector's impressive track record, which includes working with artists such as The Beatles and The Ramones, was tarnished forever when he was convicted of the murder of Lana Clarkson in 2009.
This father of Motown records holds the distinguished honor of having introduced the American record buying public to a host of groundbreaking, world-changing artists, not the least of which was a young Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5. Gordy's record label cranked out classic after classic from the soul, funk and disco genres, while the man himself had his creative hands full not only as a producer and songwriter, but even in the movie business, having produced the cult classic kung-fu homage of the early 1980s,"The Last Dragon."
Not every producer on our list can claim to also have been a star up on the front of the stage, but that's exactly where our next producer shines. Dr. Dre's musical career gained some serious speed when his group N.W.A. released their now-classic Straight Outta Compton in 1988, and it was all uphill from there, as Dre parleyed his success with the group into an even more acclaimed career behind the scenes. Whether it was sampling some of the illest beats from the funk and soul records of old, or introducing such other influential artists as Eminem and 2Pac to the mainstream, Dr. Dre remains an icon for creativity in hip hop.
English producer and musician Brian Eno is a renaissance man of sorts, having pioneered multiple styles of music over the course of his solo career, as well as time spent in the progressive art rock stylings of Roxy Music. It was after Eno's departure from Roxy where his skills behind the scenes gained international acclaim, thanks to his early work with Devo, as well as his collaboration with fellow producer Daniel Lanois on a slew of hits for Ireland's number one rock export, U2. It's certainly a far cry from Eno's days as a minimalist soundscape artist with his series of "Ambient" projects, yet the man's penchant for strong, stirring sounds makes it somehow all make sense.
There aren't many producers out there who thrive working with the heaviest of metal and the most iconic of hip hop artists, but that's exactly the case with the next artist on our list, Rick Rubin. As a co-founder of Def Jam Recordings alongside Russell Simmons, Rubin worked with pioneering hip hop artists The Beastie Boys before turning his attention to the world of thrash metal with Slayer's genre-defining "Reign in Blood" opus in 1986. Since then, Rubin has collaborated with artists as varied as alt-rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers, metal legends Metallica, and Johnny frickin' Cash just to name a few, making him one of the most influential creative voices behind the scenes.
The man unofficially known as "The Fifth Beatle" was an immensely influential and creative voice behind four of the most beloved rock icons of our time. Indeed, it was the late George Martin's innate knowledge of arrangements, melody and structure which assisted John, Paul, George and Ringo in composing some of their early hits and helping them grow as musicians. Away from the Fab Four, Martin himself would go on to produce some of the most iconic songs from the world of cinema, including the James Bond themes "Goldfinger" by Shirley Bassey and "Live and Let Die" by former Beatle Paul McCartney.
Before we name our top music producer, here are a few honorable mentions!
What can we say about the inimitable Quincy Jones? This ridiculously talented composer, arranger, producer and songwriter has possessed the golden touch for over four decades, having dipped his hands in nearly every imaginable genre. Jones will always be known for his jazz and funk touches, however, having worked on Blaxploitaiton film scores like "They Call Me Mister Tibbs!" and television programs like "Sanford and Sons" before moving on to producing large scale pop masterpieces for Michael Jackson withBad and Thriller. Jones is, quite simply, a musical legend, whose resonating influence will continue to be felt by millions of artists, friends and fans.

In the latest series of Temenos Innovation Jams 6 companies took their place at the product demo competition taking place at the Temenos Community Forum held in Dublin"s Convention Centre on May 24th. At the event, with a keynote by An Taoiseach Leo Varadakar and attended by 1,600 bankers the main event is a demo competition involving the winners of each regional event battling it off to be crowned the top fintech demo.
Having the event in Dublin this year is a major coup for Dublin with over 1,600 of the top banking professionals in the world and it is major exposure for the winner. Thankfully we have a company flying the Irish flag with CEO Barry McCarthy from Dublin based fintech startup Assure Hedge reigning victorious in the Amsterdam version of the Jam on March 28th in ABN Amro's HQ. Other Irish companies at the Amsterdam event included Boxever (raised €25m) and fellow NDRC graduate I-Sense Mate.
As of yet Assure Hedge is the only Irish finalist with places still up for grabs in the London and Geneva events.
By utilizing smart algorithms, Assure Hedge has developed a scalable FX hedging front end that automates the selling of foreign exchange options, providing instant automated quotes priced by the customer. This ensures fewer costs, less personnel and fewer mistakes being made by the business. The suitability and appropriateness of Assure Hedge reduce the possibility of mis-selling and the expensive consequences surrounding it. The company is a little under 2 years old and based in the quirky Dogpatch Labs in the IFSC.
As a major announcement at the end of the demo CEO Barry outlined that the company has recently received its full regulation having exited the FCA's Sandbox in the UK. The exiting of the Sandbox means the company can now operate in all 31 EEA countries (including Ireland and the UK).
According to Barry the need for Assure Hedge's currency hedging platform stems from research showing that businesses are rarely immune to currency rate (FX) fluctuations. Barry points out that this is evident by the recent stats showing that in a post-Brexit environment 71% of UK exporters now see currency volatility as the single biggest threat to their business. No easy and cost-effective solution currently exists for businesses to protect their foreign currency cash flow, with solutions on offer by FX brokers and banks being fit only for institutional customers, and significantly being too costly, too complicated or simply out of reach for most businesses.

Q: PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: How to Save As PDF and Hide Hidden slides? I'm using Microsoft PowerPoint 2011 on a Mac. When I use "Save As..." and choose PDF format, I would like a PDF that has all the slides except for slides marked as Hidden in my slide deck. But I always get all slides in the PDF.
This is a problem, of course, because hidden slides are hidden because they aren't ready for public viewing.
I would think there should be an option to suppress hidden slides, but I can't find one. My colleagues who use Windows do seem to have the option on MS PowerPoint for Windows.
It is possible to suppress hidden slides during Print... but then I am at the mercy of print formatting, and the PDF contains print margins that I can't suppress.
Has anyone found a solution for this?

Solution:
There appears to be no way to make "Save As PDF" skip hidden slides on the Mac version of Powerpoint.
So the workaround is to use Print instead, and print to PDF within that dialog. One can fix the margin issue this way:

*

*Open the Print dialog.

*Click Page Setup... to choose a paper size.

*Change the Width and Height to match the full width and height of the paper you choose. For example, if you select Letter size, the default width and height are 10" x 7.5", so change it to be 11" x 8.5".

*Now one can print to paper or print to PDF and get the full bleed, and hidden slides stay hidden.

A: Instead of Save As... PDF, Print->"Save as PDF".  You can get around the print margins by setting up a printer/presentation that has no margins, "full bleed".
A few important steps:

*

*First, go to File -> Page Setup and make sure that you've got the dimensions there identical for the default paper size in the printer.  In my case, it's 8.5 x 11 inches for Letter size paper.  Read the dialog box carefully, and select the option that lets you set a size larger than the printer will allow.

*In the print dialog, make sure you do NOT have "scale to fit paper" checked.
You should now see that the print preview in the print dialog is edge to edge.

A: Another approach would be to move all the hidden slides to the end of the presentation, Save as PDF, and then excise the hidden slides after creating the PDF. You could always insert a slide before the hidden slides stating that "The following slides are not part of this presentation"...just in case you forget to remove them from the PDF before circulating.

Young African Entrepreneurs at the on-going World Export Development Forum have called for the need to ease access to funding and breaking down of regulations impeding them to undertake businesses on the continent.
Speaking during the session, Youth Unconference, Imagine a World with No Borders, a panel of youth entrepreneurs cited inadequate funding and in-country regulations as some of the barriers making it difficult for them to succeed in doing business.
Ms. Stella Rukayi, Co-founder of Plan Store Business Solutions-Zambia observed that there is need for governments to do more in ensuring that young people going into businesses do not encounter obstacles.
She said funding continues to be one of the major problems most youths cites in executing their ideas.
Mrs. Rukayi also called for the need to strengthen systems of funding to bridge the gap of reaching out to businesses operated by youths on the continent.
And Mr. Momarr Taal, Chief Executive Officer of Tropingo Foods from Gambia stated there is need to do more by African governments to ensure young people operate effectively.
He said it is not right that countries continue to differ on regulations making it hard for young entrepreneurs to trade.
Mr. Taal said whilst youths continue working hard, governments should ensure the playing field facilitates their growth.
The Gambian youth entrepreneur also called for the speeding up of easing border regulations for free trade areas to be meaningful.
He said the vision of having open trade borders is a welcome move which must not be hindered by government interests.
And a visiting fellow from Stanford University under the Centre for African Studies, Professor Landry Signe' described the ongoing forum as an opportunity where business entrepreneurs should share with the world their concerns.
Professor Signe who urged young people to look beyond barriers if they to succeed also stated that governments are already doing enough and it that it is important young entrepreneurs continue working hard.
He further observed that Africa is already providing a huge market which must not be ignored but taken advantage of.
Zambia is this year hosting the Word Export Development Forum whose theme is 'Scaling Up through; Skill-Innovate-Connect' at Mulungushi International conference.
The conference is running from the 10th to 13th 2018, and has attracted 600 delegates from all over the world.

StoryCorps Employees Join CWA
Steve Wishnia and Neal Tepel
New York, N.Y.—Staff members at StoryCorps have voted by a 5-1 margin to be represented by Communications Workers of America Local 1180, the National Labor Relations Board announced Sept. 13. Workers at the Brooklyn-based nonprofit, who collect and share the stories of everyday Americans, "experienced sudden layoffs, worked for low wages, and weren't able to negotiate over working conditions," said production assistant Mia Warren. With a union, "we'll be able to have a say in making StoryCorps a better place to work." The 24-person bargaining unit includes non-managerial staff in Brooklyn, San Francisco and Chicago. "Even when facing an anti-union campaign by management, my coworkers and I stayed strong for months. Now that we've made our voices heard, we can't wait to get to the bargaining table," said national facilitator Roselyn Almonte. Local 1180 also represents workers at the Open Society Foundation, the Nation Institute, and Human Rights Watch. Read more

Attacca Ardent at the Gardner
by Julie Ingelfinger
April 23, 2019 April 22, 2019 by Julie Ingelfinger
The Attacca Quartet (attacca meaning moving rapidly from one musical passage to the next) engages in a challenging concert schedule and numerous community outreach programs, educational ventures, as well as playing and teaching about a wide variety of works; in the process, they traverse many states and countries. This Easter Sunday in its first Gardner concert, the Attaca Quartet (Amy Schroeder and Keiko Tokunaga, violins, Nathan Schram, viola; and Andrew Yee, cello) charmed with two understandably esteemed quartets—Haydn's Op. 77 No. 2 and Beethoven's Op. 132 (Heiliger Dankgesang) with Caroline Shaw's Entr'acte and Valencia and cellist Lee's arrangement of three pieces from Bernstein's Piano Anniversaries. The ensemble's verve, sensitivity and excitement electrified Calderwood.
Haydn's F Major Op. 77. No. 2, Hob III:82, written in 1799, and one of his late quartets, begins its Allegro moderato with tuneful apparent optimism and then turns inward—a vicissitude recurring pretty much throughout the work. Attacca members immediately demonstrated unusual rapport from the first bar of the work through the Finale: Vivace assai. The Minuet: Presto ma non troppo — trio starts in Ländler-like spirit, but quickly reveals a pensive if not sorrowful strain, and oscillates between these moods. The Andante constitutes an offbeat achievement—a morose D major. The affinity among the quartet members facilitated a poignant version. The Finale was fittingly upbeat.
Watching each musician brought additional pleasure throughout the afternoon. Schroeder and Tokunaga, magnificently decked out in blending aqua, emanated pure tones on their instruments; Schram with his more sedate "violal" lines and Lee, who prefers to forego an endpin (though his cello is not baroque) for more freedom, provided major expressivity.
Caroline Shaw, a prolific composer crossing musical genres, wrote Entr'acte in 2011 after hearing a performance of Haydn's Op. 77, No. 2, and becoming enchanted with its minuet. The pairing helped the concert's flow between classic and contemporary. The work starts, turns and returns, not unlike Haydn's phrasing, yet with modern modulations and unique pizzicato and surprising segments– there are moments that sound like a country fiddling contest. Shaw is a friend of the Attacca Quartet, and their version of Entr'acte mesmerized.
Shaw's Valencia—about the orange, not València the city followed. In slightly over 6-minutes, it evoked many images with dissonance and humorous pizzicato—not unlike spitting pits. The start, with machine like notations and bowing from the violins and viola, counterbalanced with cellistic pops and snaps for nearly a minute. Then came a lot of juicing sounds, and other redolent melodies. And the sense that an orange was being squeezed. Frankly, I could hardly wait to have some zingy citrus thereafter!
Three thoughtful arrangements from Bernstein's Piano Anniversaries then provided nearly flawless musical respite. Of the Piano Anniversaries, these three constituted great choices—In Memoriam William Kappell, for my Daughter, Nina and for Helen Coates—the first two written in 1981 and the last, in 1945.
Beethoven's late quartet, Opus 132 in A Minor, "Heiliger Dankgesang," crowned the concert, as such a magnificent musical jewel should. The individual voicing of the initial Assai sostenuto-allegro, varied and incisive, foretold fine experience. The second movement Allegro ma non tanto wafted evolved and sweet. Then the long Molto adagio third movement, with Beethoven's dedication, which gives 132 its name, with its prayer-like initial phrases, building forward, provided reverence and joy that felt right for an Easter afternoon. And the brief Alla Marcia, assai vivace shifted back to the worldly, followed by the final moving Allegro appassionata.
Even on a Sunday holiday, the hall was filled to capacity with an audience happy to hear this masterful quartet, which came together at Juilliard and has evolved into a deservedly much-sought and innovative group. Attacca draws from present and past; recent explorations of contemporary work, led them to be "surprised and delighted to see so many connections to the string quartets of Beethoven." So much so, that they have developed a project in which they will ultimately have performed all the Beethoven string quartets at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Manhattan. The Gardner performance of Opus 132 encapsulated all the right reasons for hearing and supporting the magic of classical music. I just might find a reason to go to Manhattan to hear their next "Based on Beethoven" concert!
Julie Ingelfinger, an amateur pianist, has long loved classical music. She also enjoys her day job as a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, pediatric nephrologist at MassGeneral Hospital for Children at MGH and as a deputy editor at the New England Journal of Medicine.
Comments Off on Attacca Ardent at the Gardner


When I first started living on my own, I never knew what to cook. My mom had always done all the work in the kitchen including the meal planning, prep, and cooking. I wished back then that I would have paid more attention, now that I'm responsible for feeding myself. I started out making a lot of chicken breasts. Mainly just because that was something that I could make in a single serving portion. That, and it's pretty much full proof, meaning that you can't really mess chicken up. I headed up to the grocery store with some spare time one day, and I decided that I was going to browse around and see what else I could come up with for a main meat entree. That's when I saw pork chops. Oh yeah! Mom used to make those all the time.
So, I purchased a package and took them home with me. Unfortunately, that's where they sat for a few weeks. Right in the freezer. Then, I decided I was going to turn them into a casserole with a few other items that I had also purchased. Mom always told me that you can add soup and rice to just about anything and make it good.
The end result turned out a lot like this recipe from South Your Mouth. It looked amazing, and the flavor was even better than what I expected. I didn't think that I would ever be able to make something this tasty myself, but I did it!

Quick Tip: You can also do this with chicken.
I almost lost a friendship a couple of weeks ago because I forgot that I was supposed to attend a potluck. Okay, so maybe "losing a friendship" is something a bit grave. But Susan wouldn't have talked to me a for a week if I wasn't able to attend her potluck. I promised pasta, but I was too busy the whole week I wasn't able to think of the perfect pasta to bring.
I knew I had to bring something that everyone would love. That's the point in potlucks. You have to take into consideration everyone who's coming, if not all. At least most of them should at least like what you're going to bring or else yours will be the only dish not empty by the end of the day.
I found this no-fuss pork chop casserole recipe when I was desperately searching for the meal that's easy to prepare and easy to bring. This is truly no fuss! I even had time to help my sons with their assignments before the baby sitter arrived to take over. I didn't like leaving my sons, but there are times I just can't say no to friends. I rarely see them too, so when they invite me for dinners, I usually come. I will be sharing this pork chop recipe with you in the next page so you can see for yourself how easy this delicious casserole is!

Quick Tip: Serve these pork chops over rice and the soup broth absorbs into the rice and chops as they bake.
A Hearty, Tasty Dinner Doesn't Get Any Easier Than This!
My husband hasn't been a big fan of pork chops. I think it has to do with the fact that his mother used to make them so often when he was a kid. Whenever I suggest pork chops for dinner, he gets this weird look on his face. And then he says he wants to cook a surprise dinner, instead. Haha! Well, I can't really blame him. My mother-in-law is a great cook, but perhaps pork chops once a week is a bit too often!
The other night, however, I found this really tasty-looking pork chop recipe and I just had to try it. My husband was still at work so he didn't have a say in it! I prepared everything (which is, by the way, a breeze with this dish) and waited until he got home. I poured him a glass of wine and told him we were going to have a special meal. His jaw dropped when I served the pork chops, but as soon as he took his first bite, he said these were going on our dinner routine!

Quick Tip: Use low-fat options for the soup, milk, sour cream and cheddar, if preferred.
Perfect Pork Chop Casserole – This meal Is Fit For Royalty!
Have you ever eaten pork chops this way? You should!
Pork chops usually don't show up in a casserole. But this one has them and will quickly become a favorite with the family.
It's easy to put together and tastes delicious. I am all for unusual foods and trying new things. My, kids? Not so much. However, they really enjoyed this pork chop casserole and have asked for me to make it again, several times. My husband gives it two thumbs up, too. So, I guess you could say that pork chop casserole is a real winner in my house. Yay!
This would be the perfect casserole to serve on a cold winter night. But you don't have to wait for winter. This will also work any other time of the year. And because it uses canned soup, it whips up fast and easy. A big draw of this dish is that it has a crunchy topping which adds additional flavor.
Recipe courtesy of Down Home Comfort Food.
Quick Tip: You can use bagged onion rings as a substitute for the French's. Just break them up.

Some holidays really do seem to be more created than organic. I had never heard of "Sweetest Day" until I moved to the midwest. Even Valentine's Day seems to be to be at least somewhat driven by the idea that "if you don't do this TODAY OF ALL DAYS…", you've failed.
To me, that's not what a relationship is. Or rather, it's not what a good relationship should be. Love and caring and sharing should be every day, not simply on one day that is set aside so that Hallmark and American Greetings can sell cards.
He could have just picked up a box for himself and come down to meet me. He didn't have to call me and tell me they still had the ammo in stock; I'd never have known. But instead, he thought to call me and make sure that I could get another box.


New Symbiotic System – Revitalization of Tai O is in response to the decline of Tai O's pillar industry: Agriculture and Aquaculture. It especially focuses on the trend of increasing outflow of younger generation and that wetland value is going to take over Tai O's cultural value, historical value and spiritual value.
Based on the deserted salt pans that are continuously occupied by mangroves, the project proposes a self-reliance system that allows for vegetable growth and fish cultivation since the system combines desalination and aquaponics farming, which is similar to the self-sustainable survival system of mangroves.
Under this integrated system, fresh water is generated through the desalination of salt water by mobile hexagon solar stills. Then fresh water will flow into the fresh water pipe via hoses and hence be stored in equivalent storage tank. Therefore, it will be pumped out to mobile aquaponics farming units for the aquaculture and hydroponics with wastewater removed to salt pans and purified in reed-fields using filters.
Using mobile cellular structure, solar stills and aquaponic farming structures are therefore consisted of separate units that can be both combined and taken apart freely , tailoring to needs of every family. One can choose the number to assemble depends on their financial condition and disassemble according to their surroundings. In the solar still, salt water will first be evaporated to fresh water vapor which will therefore be condensed and drop to the bottom of the stills. In the end, the fresh water is generated and stored in the water storage tank via a hose and a fresh water pipe. For the aquaponics farming structure, the fish excrement could provide one organic food source for growing plants and plants in return provide a natural filter to purify water so that fishes can live in it.
Therefore, this system, on one hand, achieves a win-win relation between wetland development and survival of human beings. On the other hand, it also preserves and inherits the cultures and spiritual values of Tai O.

Kitfox Games shows off Boyfriend Dungeon and Lucifer Within Us at Gamescom 2020
Kitfox's Tanya X. Short and Victoria Tran talk to GameDaily about preparing for Gamescom, the origins of Boyfriend Dungeon, and the transition to working remotely.
Today, the all-virtual Gamescom 2020 got underway, and the event features showings from hundreds of upcoming games. Many of them are from indie developers, and are showcased in the Indie Arena Booth, which has long been a staple of trade shows like Gamescom. This year, like every other exhibitor, the Indie Arena Booth was forced to make the transition to a digital event, but it still features a robust lineup of indie devs.
One of these studios is Canadian studio Kitfox Games, whose dungeon crawler/dating sim Boyfriend Dungeonis a featured Indie Arena Booth title. The game hosted a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2018, and has received a good deal of attention thanks to its novel "date your weapons" concept.
According to Kitfox co-founder Tanya X. Short, the origins of Boyfriend Dungeon lie within a joke.
"I was complaining to my partner years and years ago that all the dating sims I liked forced me to only date the women, and I couldn't date the men. I wanted more options!" Short told GameDaily. "He said that I should make that game, and call it Boyfriend Dungeon. We laughed, and he said that he was serious, and I laughed again. And then some years later, when we started making it, it seemed obvious to me that heroes love their swords and weapons even more than other people. So we went with what was natural. Dating swords."
The central concept of Boyfriend Dungeon is the idea that the weapons you collect and use to take down hordes of monsters can transform into people that your character can subsequently romance. The process of designing the weapon/love interest hybrids, Short said, was one of the highlights of designing the game.
"It was really, really fun! Sometimes the idea for the character would come from the weapon ('oooh a scythe would be kind of gothy, right?'), and sometimes it'd come from a person ('we definitely need a k-pop idol'), but either way, getting to figure out how to have a wide set of people and personalities and weapons was a really fun puzzle," Short explained.
One of the defining characteristics of Boyfriend Dungeon, and of Kitfox as a studio, is diversity and inclusion. The game features a diverse cast of characters, and includes queer and non-binary romance options. For Short, inclusion isn't a bullet point or a feature, though: it's a built-in philosophy that should be normalized.
"It's like asking how important art or code is to the game. I don't really see making an inclusive world as an optional flavor, but more like part of what makes Boyfriend Dungeon work, you know?" Short said. "Maybe my tastes are more varied than most people, but it just wouldn't feel like a good romantic fantasy if everyone was all the same type."
Boyfriend Dungeon isn't the only game Kitfox is presenting at Gamescom, though; the team recently announced Lucifer Within Us, a detective sandbox-style game. For studio communications director Victoria Tran, the opportunity to present both Boyfriend Dungeon and Lucifer Within Us at Gamescom is exciting.
"We were lucky to be chosen for the Indie Arena Booth at Gamescom, so we got to build a Boyfriend Dungeon booth for their virtual event. But our biggest prep has been for another project," Tran told GameDaily. "We released the first ever public Lucifer Within Us demo for Gamescom, which you can play for free on Steam now. It's a unique murder mystery game we've been working on, involving digital exorcisms, a timeline mechanic, and plenty of contradictions and lie-spotting. Very different from dating swords for sure, but we like to keep things interesting around here."
For Kitfox, the transition to virtual work and even environments has been a learn-as-you-go process. Luckily, the studio already had in place some work-from-home policies that made prepping for a digital event like Gamescom a bit easier from a logistical standpoint. The mental toll of remote working is a different story, however.
"The physical part has been easy. We already had one work from home day a week anyway, so we just told people to do it all the time," Short said. "But the emotional part is a lot harder. People have lost family members, and even the luckier of us are under a lot more stress. We've given folks extra time off and we try to be understanding when productivity is down, and increased the company health insurance coverage for therapy sessions. Hopefully that can help us both keep making Boyfriend Dungeon great, and not burn out."
With Gamescom officially underway, Short, Tran, and the rest of Kitfox Games are looking forward to showing off Boyfriend Dungeon and Lucifer Within Us. Get a look at them, and the rest of the Indie Arena Booth, here.

Sky Bet League Two preview: Feb 23
@SkyBetLeagueTwo
Play-Off battles take centre stage in Sky Bet League Two, here's our preview of the weekend.
Tight at the top: Part 1
This weekend, Mansfield Town host Forest Green Rovers in Sky Bet League Two, a division that is really heating up at the summit of the table.
The Stags currently sit third in the league, four points off top spot, while Rovers are the same distance from the last automatic promotion place.
This will be the second EFL meeting at the One Call Stadium between the two sides, with the last game finishing in a 2-0 victory for Forest Green.
North West derby at Gigg Lane
Oldham Athletic boss Paul Scholes was no stranger to a North West derby during his days as a Manchester United player, but this weekend's game against Bury will be his first as a manager.
The Shakers are without a win in eight home league meetings against the Latics, last beating them on home soil in the EFL back in September 1967.
Meanwhile, Oldham are aiming for back-to-back victories away from home for just the second time this season.
Another Play-Off battle sees sixth-placed Colchester United welcome seventh-placed Carlisle United to the JobServe Community Stadium.
The Cumbrians were victorious in this fixture last season, and are looking for make it back-to-back away wins in the EFL for the first time in their history.
The U's, however, will be hoping that three points could see them overtake Forest Green Rovers and potentially MK Dons in the promotion race, depending on results elsewhere.
League leaders to rule the globe
Lincoln City have drawn their last four Sky Bet League Two games, and are in desperate need of three points if they are to cling onto top spot.
They travel to the Globe Arena to take on Morecambe at the weekend - the Imps have only lost one of their five visits to the Shrimps in League Two.
Jim Bentley's side have won back-to-back games in the league, they last won three in a row back in August 2016.
Around the grounds
MK Dons entertain Newport County on Saturday, which will be the second-ever EFL meeting between the two sides, with the last one finishing 1-0 to Paul Tisdale's side.
Tisdale's former side Exeter City head north to face Crewe Alexandra, and Tranmere welcome bottom club Notts County to Prenton Park, looking to keep a third clean sheet in four games in League Two.
Elsewhere, it's the battle of the two Towns as Swindon take on Grimsby. Elsewhere, Stevenage host Northampton Town.
Down at the bottom of the division, 21st-placed Port Vale head to Cheltenham Town, where three points could prove vital to either side.
Yeovil Town take on Cambridge United and Macclesfield Town head to Crawley Town. A win for Macc could lift Sol Campbell's side out of the drop zone for the first time this season, depending on results elsewhere.

Interventional Cardiology And The Rejection Of Science
July 22, 2016 by Larry Husten 6 Comments
–Prominent interventional cardiologist says clinical trials are slowing progress
In their eagerness to embrace a glorious future of ever more spectacular technology-based advances, interventional cardiology— a subspecialty never exactly known for caution, patience, or self reflection— is poised to reject science, evidence-based medicine, and randomized controlled trials.
"Generating and publishing evidence is a tedious job," writes Bernhard Meier (University Hospital of Bern, Switzerland), one of the top interventional cardiologists in the world, in the European Heart Journal. "Waiting for the results of randomized trials may preclude patients from an apparently good thing while the trials are ongoing."
The problem, it should be unnecessary to point out, is that what often seems like "an apparently good thing" turns out, after careful scrutiny with good evidence, to be not good at all, and perhaps even harmful. And, ahem, expensive. Just because you are an interventional cardiologist doesn't mean you are infallible or can see into the future.
Medicine has always existed somewhat uncomfortably in the dual worlds of science and belief. Beliefs derive from tradition or good ideas. Interventional cardiology is a field built on good ideas— balloon angioplasty, stents, and TAVR, to name a few. But we tend to forget that the field is also littered with the corpses of good ideas that didn't work and even caused harm— just think of laser angioplasty, atherectomy, or radiation to prevent restenosis. Further, it's important to recognize that even the good ideas that work out aren't panaceas— they need to be carefully studied to find out precisely which patients derive benefit, and this is not an easy question to answer by any means. The best stent in the world can only bring harm to someone who doesn't need it.
Science is based on doubt. You shouldn't believe anything— especially your own good idea— unless it's been tested by a scientific experiment and, preferably, replicated.
Now I confess that I don't fully understand Meier's piece. The prose is, to put it kindly, difficult to decipher and the logic convoluted. I'm not even convinced that Meier is being entirely serious all the time. But there are several moments of clarity that raise real concerns and, because they likely reflect the thinking of some significant portion of interventional cardiologists and many other physicians as well— really need to be addressed.
For Meier, evidence-based medicine is a relic of the past, though he acknowledges that it is "an uncontestedly laudable product of the last century." He continues:
"Collecting evidence in a randomized fashion, ideally with double-blind, double-dummy, and sham-controlled design, could well be overrated. Currently, it is a declared holy grail but that may take bizarre shapes."
There is some truth here. The SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial, for instance, which tested renal denervation took a very bizarre shape, requiring control patients to undergo a sham procedure. Until this trial came along there was near universal belief, among interventional cardiologists especially, that renal denervation would be massively effective. The results, of course, proved otherwise, sending everyone back to the drawing board. In the end renal denervation may prove to be effective, but it was first absolutely essential to show that its initial iteration was an abject failure.
Meier goes on to rail against RCTs, though he doesn't provide any good examples:
"Even more grotesquely misleading conclusions can emanate from poorly conceived or sloppily conducted randomized trials. Current publication criteria for randomized trials do not allow one to alter the endpoint of a study after the study has commenced. Neither do they allow one to hypothesize in the abstract or the final conclusions of the paper on how the results might have been if the design or endpoints of the study had been chosen differently."
This is preposterous, though any defender of clinical trials must acknowledge that RCTs, like anything else, can be abused and distorted. But Meier's points here are patently untrue. As the Oxford COMPARE group has conclusively demonstrated, endpoints are altered all the time in even the most prestigious journals. The problem, however, isn't altering outcomes. The problem is when outcomes are altered without any notification of the change and when the original endpoints aren't reported. Does Bernard Meier really need to be reminded of the importance of prespecified endpoints and prospective designs? And Meier must be reading different journals than the rest of us, or even the journal in which his article is published, because authors constantly speculate on how their results might have been different if the trial had been designed differently.
Stents For Everyone!
One of Meier's main points seems to be that there was far too much resistance for far too long of drug-eluting stents. Essentially he argues that all patients (though he never defines who that group might be) should receive a DES. Back when there were concerns about stent thrombosis with DESs Meier argues that "all patients should have received them." But of course it's impossible to know ahead of time how a controversy like that will be resolved, and in addition to the necessity of generating evidence there is the general principle of not doing any harm. And at no point in his discussion of DES, or indeed any other technology, does Meier consider the role of cost. It's also worth point out that there are plenty of knowledgeable experts— including even a few interventional cardiologists— who believe that DESs are overused.
Meier's enthusiasm for stents leads him to reject fractional flow reserve (FFR) to identify lesions. "In the realm of easy to implant and utterly safe DESs, fixing the lesion is faster and about as safe as assessing it with the FFR," he writes. Meier is not even particularly bothered if a stent is implanted in a lesion that is "not yet haemodynamically significant," since "it most likely would evolve to that point over time." He then goes on to take the extreme position that "PCI might be the better choice over conservative treatment, irrespective of trials stating the opposite." This is a breathtaking rejection of evidence. For all its problems, nearly all experts agree that the COURAGE trial exerted a powerful and much-needed brake to stent-mania. The logical conclusion of Meier's position is universal delivery of full metal jackets. This would indeed be a utopia— for interventional cardiologists.
PFO Closure For Everyone!
Meier ends with a passionate defense of PFO closure, the benefits of which have been "underestimated because of imperfect designs of the respective randomized trials." This is because "the assessment of the results was conducted before the point in time when it can be assumed that the majority of potentially preventable events will have happened." According to Meier, "waiting for the results of randomized trials may preclude patients from an apparently good thing while the trials are ongoing. In particular, preventive procedures such as the closure of the PFO need studies with >10 years of follow-up to be able to prove the expected benefit. Should all patients outside such a trial be deprived of a potentially life-saving simple intervention?"
This is an extremely dangerous proposition. Meier doesn't even mention the alternative possibility that the absence of evidence could lead to full adoption for decades of a harmful device.
It is also untrue that PFO closure can not be studied in RCTs. The PFO closure studies were plagued by slow randomization. The problem was that interventional cardiologists refused to randomize their patients because they had already adopted Meier's mindset that the procedure was beneficial. Potential trial subjects were instead treated with off-label use of devices, to the financial benefit of manufacturers and implanters alike. As an editorialist wrote when the CLOSURE 1 trial was finally published: "During the 9 years it took for the results of this trial to be reported, approximately 80,000 patients have had a patent foramen ovale closed with the use of a device at an average cost of $10,000 per procedure. Even if only half these patients were treated by this method for the purpose of preventing stroke, it would suggest that during that period of time $400 million was spent on a procedure that had no apparent benefit, to say nothing of the potential clinical risks involved.
Interventional cardiologists who argue that devices should be used without supporting RCTs because the trials are impossible to perform remind me of the defendant accused of murdering his parents who asked the judge for mercy because he was an unfortunate orphan.
Interventional cardiologists think they know what's good for us. They need to make sure they can back up their views with the tools of science.

With all due respect to the once great Dr Meier, he has now lost his marbles. Senile dementia
He is the same man who once rejected stents and was an advocate for frugal angioplasty (reserve stents for PTCA) failure.
Jim Stein says
It was a ridiculous read. A little pompous, presumptuous, and convoluted. Disappointing. Hopefully in jest?
Larry Husten says
I looked carefully for any evidence that it was a satire. Couldn't find it. And the editor, Thomas Lüscher wrote about it seriously. I suspect there's a lot of this sentiment out there. Scary.
dearieme says
Moreover you disciplined yourself to avoid even a hint that
Meier's motive might be financial. As will I.
Douglas R. Finlayson MD says
A 91yo patient of mine was having episodic rhythm problems. In 2012 I went with him to his cardiologist who told him, "Do you want us to treat you like a 71yo or like a 91yo?
With a 71yo, we would do everything we could to extend his life. We would do an angiogram and possibly put in stents. "
My silent reaction was that I had just heard a disgusting sales pitch. I asked the interventional cardiologist his opinion of the COURAGE study. He said that he had not heard of it.
After a quarter century of failed attempts to prove stents and bypass prolong life, the cardiovascular plumbers union declared victory and just kept installing their version of toxic lead pipes.
I am appalled, though not surprised . Human Nature is the common denominator, and as much as I don't want to accept the evidence (Reverse confirmation Bias ?) it permeates the Cardiologist and the Snake Oil spruiker…
