Costly love spell lands Greek astrologer in court
AFP, September 24, 2007
Salonika, Greece - A female astrologer in the northern Greek city of Salonika was charged with fraud after pocketing 145,000 euros (204,000 dollars) from a woman to counter a spell supposedly cast on her former lover, a report said Monday.
The unidentified woman had gradually exacted the sum over a nine-month period with promises to induce her friend's lover to come back, the semi-state Athens News Agency reported.
But the victim eventually despaired and alerted the police.
Astrologers and diviners make a brisk business in Greece where belief in the 'evil eye' still runs strong, and where the reading of palms and coffee-cups can be used to plan relationships and business moves.

I am planning to track USDINR pair per Elliott Wave principle. It will serve a sort of trading diary and also may provide a retro view of what works and what does not.
The pair seems to move downward eventually. We want to wait until we get a short entry point (read disclaimer first!!!) from r:r perspective.
Disclaimer: I am not a certified financial analyst. I have started this thread to track the Elliott Wave Analysis of USDINR for MYSELF. By no means the content in my posts should be taken as any sort of advise to buy or sell anything; anyone doing so is doing at his/her own risk. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS IN ANY FORM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FINANCIAL) INCURRED BY ANYONE.
from 72 to 52 ? USD itna girega ? but ye to hamesha badte hi jata hai.
It's a long term (2 years or so) picture, imho.
The counts are unfolding, view (read disclaimer first!!!) remains the same. Shorting (read disclaimer first!!!) near 72.70 sl above 72.95 seems the best bet at the moment.

Pigdebatten är en benämning på en svensk politisk debatt, som inleddes på 1990-talet om skatteavdrag för hushållsnära tjänster. Sedan 2000-talet har regler för sådana tjänster reformerats.

Etymologi
Namnet "pigdebatten" togs från begreppet piga, som fram till ungefär 1919 var en vanlig benämning på unga kvinnor anställda för att utföra husligt arbete i privathem, ofta i överklass och övre medelklass. Därefter ersattes begreppet med termer som barnflicka och hembiträde, men pigbegreppet levde kvar som benämning på tjänsteflickor på landsbygden. Termen "piga" användes främst av förslagets motståndare på grund av ordets negativa klang och yrkets historiskt jämförelsevis låga status.

Historik
Debatten initierades av nationalekonomen Anne-Marie Pålsson vid ett socialdemokratiskt seminarium i Almedalen 1993 och följdes året därpå av boken Finns det en marknad för hemarbete? som Pålsson publicerade tillsammans med nationalekonomen Erik Norrman.

Framför allt borgerliga politiker var positiva till avdrag för hushållsnära tjänster och menade att det skulle minska svartarbete och bidra till ökad sysselsättning. Många från vänsterhåll förhöll sig däremot mer negativt och menade att det skulle öka klasskillnaderna samt drog paralleller till tiden före 1970-talet, då det var relativt vanligt att kvinnor var anställda i husligt arbete i Sverige och man jämförde med deras förhållanden. Därefter har debatten ibland återingen blossat upp, framför allt i samband med riksdagsval i Sverige.

Skatteavdrag, så kallat RUT-avdrag, för hushållsnära tjänster infördes i Sverige den 1 juli 2007, under den borgerliga regeringen Reinfeldt.

TARGeTED – Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance with Goal-orientated Thinking across the EPS (Engineering and Physical Sciences) Disciplines
TARGeTED community at the University of York is working to develop new interdisciplinary collaborations and innovative approaches to tackle the antimicrobial resistance (AMR). One of their recent studies has revealed that bacteria growing in communities of more than one species can develop traits such as antibiotic resistance. Biologists at York are thus a step closer to understanding the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, one of today's global Grand Challenges.
Examining bacteria in soil sample has led the York researchers to find that genes for traits such as antibiotic resistance can be spread by particular types of molecule known as infectious plasmids. Bacteria growing in mixed 'community' of more than one species allowed the plasmids to exchange gene information across the bacterial population.
As Dr James Hall, who carried out the research with Professor Michael Brockhurst in the Department of Biology, explains: "In these conditions, some bacteria act as gene exchange 'hubs' which spread plasmids to neighbouring bacteria.
"It's a bit like sharing posts on social media. Some people share lots, others only rarely and different people have different interests. This diversity means that overall we encounter a much broader range of ideas than we would if we were all the same.
"For bacteria, this means that in diverse communities they are probably exposed to more plasmids allowing more options for them to evolve in different ways. This could include bacteria developing resistance to antibiotic treatment."
The researchers at York are working now to understand why some bacteria make better hubs than others and what consequences the spread of resistance genes can have.

Rockies win over Red Sox a turning point -- but which way will they turn?
Michael Roberts June 24, 2010 8:35AM
After hitting a two-run homer that put away the vaunted Red Sox last night, Jason Giambi said, "This could be one of those games when you look back on the season and see this as a turning point" -- and he's right.
But we won't know for a while if the direction of that turn will be up or down.
The reason for concern centers on the undoubted MVP of the Rockies season thus far, Ubaldo Jimenez. Over six weeks ago, we suggested that Jimenez could well become the team's first-ever Cy Young winner, and since then, he's continued to pitch as well as anyone in the MLB.
Until last night, that is. Before the game, he was reportedly battling the flu, but he gamely took the mound anyhow, and for the first three innings, he looked superhuman, as usual.
And then, in the fourth, reality struck -- and it kept striking until the Rockies early 4-0 lead had been transformed into a 6-5 deficit.
The ninth-inning bashing of Giambi and Ian Stewart ensured that Jimenez would get a no-decision, not a loss. Still, will Jimenez be less confident, more tentative when the rotation comes around to him again because of what happened last night, understandable though it was due to his health? Has the magical spell been broken? Will he come down to earth, causing his still excellent ERA to rise?
It's possible. After all, baseball is all about momentum and mentality.
Still, my money's on Jimenez getting his mojo back for his next start. He's clearly an astonishing talent who's been improving each year. He was due for a meltdown, and that it came when he was ill could prove to be a positive in the long run.
And so could the late-inning firepower, which rescued a man who's been saving the Rockies' asses all season long.


Tis the season for Christmas movies!
From classics like It's a Wonderful Life to B-rated Hallmark films, Christmas comedies like Home Alone to dark Christmas flicks like The Nightmare Before Christmas, you could probably watch 2-3 movies a day every day of December if you had the time and will power.
You've probably got a list of your own favorites; I thought I'd share mine for some family movie-night inspiration this Holiday season.
From an all-star cast of voice actors like Burl Ives and Larry D. Mann to lovable characters and a heart-warming story-line, there's nothing to love about this 1964 Christmas classic. Coming in at just a 47-minute run time, this one's easy to fit in. Better still - you could watch Rudolph in your light-up Abominable Snowman sweater.
In a time when suicide seems far too prevalent, this comedy-drama with lessons in love and redemption may carry a louder message today than the day it was intended for.
If not for another fantastic cast, this one is worth watching for the incredible CGI effects. I couldn't believe how well done The Polar Express was the first time I watched it through. Another heartwarming story, this one follows the magical journey of a boy beginning to lose his faith, something we can all relate to at one time or another.
What Christmas movie will be making your Must Watch list this year?

Distinct transcriptional outputs associated with mono- and di-methylated histone H3 arginine 2
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Dimethylation of histone H3 arginine 2 (H3R2me2) maintains transcriptional silencing by inhibiting Set-1 mediated trimethylation of H3K4. Here we demonstrate that arginine 2 is also monomethylated (H3R2me1) in yeast but that its functional characteristics are distinct from H3R2me2: (a) H3R2me1 does not inhibit H3K4 methylation, (b) it is present throughout the coding region of genes and (c) it correlates with active transcription. Collectively, these results indicate that different H3R2 methylated states have defined roles in gene expression. Overall design: hIP-chip analysis was performed to determine the genomic distribution of histone modifications H3R2me1, H3R2me2a, H3K4me3, H3K36me3, and H3K79me3 in the BY4741 yeast strain. ChIP samples were amplified, labelled, and hybridized to 50-mer tiling arrays covering the entire yeast genome at a 64 bp resolution.

Arginine methylation at histone H3R2 controls deposition of H3K4 trimethylation
Project description:Modifications on histones control important biological processes through their effects on chromatin structure. Methylation at histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by Set1p is found at the 5'end of active genes and contributes to transcriptional activation by recruiting chromatin remodeling enzymes. An adjacent arginine residue (H3R2) is also known to be asymmetrically dimethylated (H3R2me2a) in mammalian cells6, but its location within genes and its function in transcription are unknown. Here we show that H3R2 is also methylated in budding yeast. Using an antibody specific for H3R2me2a in ChIP-on-Chip analysis we determine the distribution of this modification on the entire yeast genome. We find that H3R2me2a is enriched at all heterochromatic loci, at inactive euchromatic genes and at the 3'-end of moderately transcribed genes. In all cases the pattern of H3R2 methylation is mutually exclusive with the presence of trimethylation at H3K4 (H3K4me3). The inverse correlation reflects the fact that methylation at H3R2 disrupts the ability of the Set1-complex to methylate H3K4. H3R2m2a inhibits specifically the trimethylation of H3K4 because it prevents Spp1 (a Set1-methyltranferase subunit) from binding to histone H3. These results indicate that methylation at H3R2 controls the global distribution of H3K4me3 and provides the first mechanistic insight into the function of arginine methylation on chromatin. Keywords: ChIP-chip Overall design: ChIP-chip analysis was performed to determine the genomic distribution of histone modifications H3R2me2a, H3K4me1, H3K4me2, and H3K4me3 in the BY4741 yeast strain. This analysis was also used to determine the genomic binding of proteins Rap1 and Sir2 in the JHY6-H3WT and JHY6-H3R2A strains. Two biological replicates were carried out for each experiment. ChIP samples were amplified, labelled, and hybridized to 50-mer tiling arrays covering the entire yeast genome at a 64 bp resolution.

Abu-Soud1999_L-Arginine
Project description:This model was taken from the Abu-Soud HM et al. Biochemistry. 1999 Sep 21;38(38):12446-51. This model shows kinetic binding of L-Arginine to neuronal nitric oxide synthase. Model shows the substrate (L-Arginine) binding to nNOS in a two-step reversible fashion. First there is rapid binding equilibrium between Im-nNOS and L-Arginine to form an intermediate that contains bound imidazole and L-Arginine. This is followed by a slower conformational change in the Im-enzyme-substrate complex that is associated with release of bound imidazole and generation of a modified enzyme-substrate complex which is detected due to spectral change.

PRMT5: a Novel Regulator of Hepatitis B Virus Replication and an Arginine Methylase of HBV Core
Project description:In the study, we identified protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) as a novel restriction factor of HBV replication. We have also demonstrated that PRMT5 can interact with the HBV core and methylate its arginine residues within arginine-rich domain. We identified two types of HBc post-translational modifications: arginine methylation and ubiquitination. While monomethylated HBc retains cytoplasmic localization, symmetric dimethylation is linked to serine phosphorylation and nuclear transport. Thus arginine methylation and ubiquitination are novel types of HBc post-translational modifications which add another level of complexity to the understanding of HBc function and regulation of HBV replication

Histone H3 Lysine 4 mono-, di- and trimethyl and CTCF in CD4+CD25+CD45RA+ regulatory and conventional CD4+CD25- T-cells
Project description:Analysis of Histone H3 Lysine 4 mono-, di- and trimethyl and the boundary protein CTCF in CD4+CD25+CD45RA+ regulatory T-cells and conventional CD4+CD25- T-cells. To investigate regulatory functions or potential new transcription start sites in Treg and Tconv cells, we investigated the associated histone modifications. Mono- and dimethylation of histone 3 lysin 4 (H3K4) were previously shown to mark enhancer regions, whereas H3K4 trimethylation generally associates with transcription start sites. At imprinted loci, binding of the insulator protein CTCF, which restricts or directs enhancer-promoter interactions, is often regulated by DNA-methylation. Therefore we performed ChIP-on-chip experiments (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by microarray hybridization; samples were amplified with ligation mediated PCR [see label protocol for the procedure] prior to labeling) for mono- di- and trimethylation of histone 3 lysin 4 and of CTCF in expanded Treg and Tconv cells. Keywords: ChIP-on-chip ChIP-on-chip experiments for H3K4 mono-, di- and trimethyl and CTCF in CD4+CD25+CD45RA+ regulatory T-cells and conventional CD4+CD25- T-cells were co-hybridizied with the input. Three biologiacal replicates (rep1-3) were performed for every histone mark, two CTCF (rep1 and rep2).

Narratives and Our Ways of Knowing Part II: The Middle Ages
The question of knowledge is a very old problem, going back to the ancients. What we can know about the world, and how we know it, is a huge puzzle. Now, we all love to tell stories, to tell people about things that have happened to us—or even stuff that happened to others, if it makes for a good tale. More than that, story-telling seems to be hardwired in us. We have a deep need to construct narratives to make sense out of the world and our lives. So not only do we try to convey what we think we know through our stories, but those stories also reflect the issues and problems regarding our ways of knowing.
I'm going to write a series of posts concerning the history of story-telling and our problems concerning the ways of knowing. I'll move from Plato to Medieval Christianity, then to Descartes and the Enlightenment, Nietzsche, then modernism and classic film noir, and finally postmodernism. I only intend to provide a sketch of these issues, so what I'll say is greatly simplified.
PART II: THE MIDDLE AGES
How the 'Real World' at last Became a Myth
HISTORY OF AN ERROR
1. The real world, attainable to the wise, the pious, the virtuous man—he dwells in it, he is it.
(Oldest form of the idea, relatively sensible, simple, convincing. Transcription of the proposition 'I, Plato, am the truth'.)
2. The real world, unattainable for the moment, but promised to the wise, the pious, the virtuous man ('to the sinner who repents').
(Progress of the idea: it grows more refined, more enticing, more incomprehensible—it becomes a woman, it becomes Christian…)
–Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols (Hollingdale Translation).
THE FORM OF THE GOOD
In the first post in this series I talked about Plato's Theory of Forms: the idea that there are real, abstract, non-physical entities that are the objects of necessary knowledge, and which we can know through intellectual intuition.
In Book V of his Republic, Plato discusses the "highest" Form, the Form of the Good. This Form acts as a first principle, says Plato, a rock-solid foundation for all our other knowledge. He describes the ascent of the philosopher to grasping the Good, as if he were scaling a mountain on the backs of his hypotheses and seeing the sun for the first time. Once having grasped that Form of the Good, the philosopher can make the return journey, demonstrating the truth of his original hypotheses, and thus completing a system of philosophical science, a complete knowledge of everything. (The cave allegory depicts this same journey, only using a different metaphor.)
At times, as in Republic V, Plato sounds oddly like a monotheist (which is peculiar for someone of his time), since one could interpret this discussion of the Form of the Good as a description of a mystical union with the divine. That's not what Plato means, but his work was influential on early Christian thinkers; indeed, there's a continuity between Platonism and Christianity. As Nietzsche quips, "Christianity is Platonism for 'the people'" (Beyond Good and Evil).
For Plato, the Forms are intellectually accessible (at least to the philosopher). We can know the truth. And this is born out in the stories Plato tells. Socrates is on his search for the meaning of piety, justice, and so forth. One can live the good life, and the key to doing that is knowledge, knowledge that's obtainable through a pure effort of reason.
CHRISTIANITY (OR WESTERN MONOTHEISM GENERALLY)
The big leap from Platonism to Christianity is the move from a realm of non-physical, abstract entities that are rationally intuitable to a transcendent, creator God who is not. There is still a big story, an over-arching narrative that governs the way we think about ourselves and the world. For Christianity, there is still a Truth (capital 't'), but it becomes shrouded in mystery, an object of faith. It's a promise that's left outstanding.
So Christianity (and monotheistic religions in general) poses a very great problem with regard to our ways of knowing. If God is the Truth, and God is transcendent (absent), then there is no real way to know. The nature of God himself, how God created everything, the nature of goodness, sin, redemption, virtue—all these things, unlike Plato's Forms and Socrates' virtues, are rationally unknowable and become objects of faith. (Why is there so much inter- and intra-religious squabbling over the exact meaning of these things if anyone can truly know them?)
Further, it's a common understanding of things going back at least to Aristotle that to understand something, you have to know and understand the cause of that thing. So, to paraphrase Spinoza, if God is an absolutely infinite being separate from the universe and creator of that universe, then the universe itself is completely incomprehensible. That is, there's no way to understand how God might have created the universe from a pure act of will and out of nothingness, so if he did, we have no hope of understanding reality.
(The nature of faith and it's relation to knowledge is a huge topic, far too vast to deal with in any meaningful way here; I'm just giving a gloss on it to make my overall point. From Tertullian's famous quote, "I believe it because it's impossible," to Aquinas' theoretical arguments for God's existence, it's clear that knowledge is a big problem for theists.)
I'm not so much concerned with Christianity as I am with the Middle Ages, though the lives of people in Europe were dominated by religious thinking at that time. Further, I'm not qualified to talk about stories from the Middle Ages. I'm more interested in the stories we tell about that period.
Think, for example, of Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957). During an outbreak of plague, a knight is approached by death (black robe, scythe, all that) and told it's his time. The knight challenges death to a game of chess for his life. It's a stunning image, if you haven't seen it: Max Von Sydow's knight on a beach, sitting across the chess board from the black-hooded death. In any event, the overarching meta-narrative is in place: There is a Truth about the world and human existence, though it's shrouded in mystery, and that mystery leaves our anxieties about our lives and our terrors about death intact.
The film version of Umberto Eco's remarkable The Name of the Rose (Jean-Jacques Annaud, 1986) isn't necessarily an exception. William of Baskerville (an obvious reference to Sherlock Holmes) is superbly rational, a medieval sleuth who follows the evidence and uses his reasoning to solve the mystery of a series of murders. But the setting in which he finds himself, a 14th Century Benedictine Abbey, is filled with darkness and superstition. Yes, William solves the mystery, but he's unable to save Aristotle's lost treatise on comedy from the flames; and that work was the reason for the murders in the first place.
I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that many epic fantasy tales—I'm thinking of works like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones—while set in alternate realities, are really based in the European Middle Ages. That is, the Middle Ages provide the backdrop or at least the starting point for these alternate worlds. This is clear from the state of technology: everyone rides horses; there is no electricity; everything is lit by torches; people wear armor and live in castles. (Plus, in the film/TV versions, all the characters have British accents.)
Knight and Dragon
This is the way we romanticize the Middle Ages: brave knights pursuing quests, and lovely Ladies in gowns chastely waiting for them, or else plotting intrigue back at the castle. But the fantasy element is in part provided by the addition of elements like dragons and magic (wizards in the case of LOTR; wogs and Melisandre the fire priestess in GoT). That is, it seems to feel quite natural to us to turn medieval life into fantasy, and precisely because of the darkness and mystery that envelopes that period.
So, again, we see that our ways of knowing (or of not knowing, in this case) filter into and are reflected by our narratives, the stories we tell.

Joseph Burling, Hongjing Lu, Greta Todorova, Frank Pollick; A comparison of eye-movement patterns between experienced observers and novices in detecting harmful intention from surveillance video. Journal of Vision 2016;16(12):1340. doi: 10.1167/16.12.1340.
Understanding the intentions of others by viewing their actions in a complex visual scene is a challenging task. Does experience change looking behavior in that gaze to specific action cues creates a fixation "signature" unique to experienced observers? To address this question we analyzed eye movements between experienced surveillance (CCTV) operators and novices when observing social interactions from CCTV footage. 11 experienced operators and 10 novices observed 36 unique CCTV clips, while obtaining point-of-gaze coordinates from an eye tracker. Each clip was 16 seconds in duration, and classified based on one of four contexts. 'Fight' and 'Confront' clips displayed aggressive behavior, except that fighting actually occurred for 'Fight' clips after the end of the clip (not seen by the participants). 'Play' clips showed playful interactions between people with no aggression, while 'Nothing' clips showed typical everyday behavior with no aggression. We used a sequence matching algorithm to compare eye-movements (scan paths) between individuals examining the same video. We split sequences into segments (first, middle, and last) to analyze how viewing behavior changes with the accumulation of visual input over time. We found that on average, experienced operators yielded higher fixation similarity scores suggesting in-group consistency among experienced observers, with the consistency varying by context and time segment. For both the 'Confront' and 'Fight' contexts, differences in gaze patterns between experienced observers and novices were largest for the middle segment, whereas for the 'Play' context, the largest difference was at the end. The 'Nothing' context yielded higher scores for experts but no time differences. These results suggest that expert CCTV operators predict actions similarly by attending to the relevant events within a scene, and for critical events such as aggressive behaviors, important cues (markers that result in signature looking patterns) are attended well before the onset of the disruptive action.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, född 1960 i Amioûn, är doktor i ekonomi, ekonomikritiker, och författare av de populärvetenskapliga böckerna Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, The Bed of Procrustes och Antifragile. Hans senaste bok på svenska är Skin in the game: Vikten av delad risk, utgiven på Volante och översatt av Pär Svensson (2019). Taleb är känd för sina teorier om osäkerhet och oväntade händelser, och hur individer och organisationer bör förhålla sig till dessa.

Talebs familj härstammar från Libanon. Konflikterna i området och de oväntade dramatiska händelser som följde var enligt Taleb själv av betydande vikt för hans idéer och tankesätt kring risk och osäkerhet. Taleb studerade senare sannolikhetslära och handel i Frankrike och USA, samt arbetade som handlare (floor trader) på börsen i Chicago. Taleb kom senare att starta sin egen Hedgefond baserad på samma idéer och filosofi som han utvecklar i sina böcker. Talebs rykte växte betydligt efter 2008, då han korrekt förutsade att det amerikanska låneföretaget Fannie Mae skulle komma att kollapsa på grund av sin illa balanserade portfölj.

Taleb har även kritiserat IQ, som han menar är en pseudovetenskaplig bluff.

Terminologi
Dessa termer använder Nassim Taleb när han beskriver sin filosofi:
 Svart svan (black swan) - en oväntad händelse med extrema konsekvenser som sker utan varning och är omöjlig att förutse.
 Skinn i leken (skin in the game) - vad en aktör måste ha för att sträva emot det för alla bästa alternativet. Till exempel en helikopterpilot har så kallat skinn i leken då han själv är med i helikoptern han flyger och man kan då anta att han tar ansvar och utför sin uppgift på säkrast vis. Motsatsen är till exempel bankirerna på Wall Street som, oavsett vilken risk de tar, blir utlösta av staten i slutändan, eller politiker som i bekväma luftkonditionerade rum beslutar om invasioner av andra länder utan någon risk för dem själva. Den beslutsfattare som har skinn i leken måste alltså även utstå de eventuella negativa följderna av sitt beslut. Detta ska då förklara varför vissa tar obefogade risker. Med skinn i leken tillåts försiktighetsprincipen verka.
 Antifragilitet - en egenskap hos system som kan växa och bli starkare som ett resultat av skador. Till exempel kan nya djurarter utvecklas i naturen när levnadsvillkoren i en miljö förändras. Antifragila system "vill" bli skadade och attackerade.
 Hormesis - den tillväxt som sker efter en skada eller chock i ett antifragilt system. Taleb hävdar att alla levande organismer behöver någon grad av hormesis för att hålla sig vid god hälsa. På grund av detta håller han det moderna samhället för att vara skadligt, då det finns en överdriven tendens att åtgärda även små risker och faror som har en hälsosam effekt för människor på lång sikt.

Pictures of the Lamborghini Jarama. The Lamborghini Jarama was built between 1970 and 1976. Just 328 were ever produced. It was essentially a redesigned Lamborghini Islero made to meet US auto regulations. The original GT model had a 350bhp V12 engine while the later GTS had a more powerful 365bhp version.


Reviews for Enigmatis: The Mists of Ravenwood!
I don't know about you guys, but I'm very excited to see this one available on standard version.
What do you think of Enigmatis: The Mists of Ravenwood? We'd love to hear all about it! You can share your review here in the reviews thread, and on our website as well. Just pop over to the Enigmatis: The Mists of Ravenwood page here.
Re:Reviews for Enigmatis: The Mists of Ravenwood!
Features Summary From CE Demo!
There are so many reviews that can give you the story etc. for this game. I found I had so many things to say, I've had to put in point form.
• The demo was 2 out of 7 chapters. I ran out of time about ¾ of the way in.
The next are items I believe are only be available in the Collector's Edition.
Although I've not completed the game, I can assure you that it fulfills the promise of the demo and is a thoroughly excellent game.
I am not an expert but I know what I like and I made up my mind in about ten minutes and got this game. Grafics (sp) are very well done and the voice overs are of a much better quality than a lot of the games I have seen lately.
It seemed for a while that the games were being churned out so fast with a detriment to the storyline and everything else but this game is so much better.
Music in the background blends well with the story and is not intrusive.
I played 30 minutes of the demo. Everything is excellent A.M. quality, but the game play seems very complicated and a lot more than I'm willing to attempt -- as JustTheFacts said, a game of deduction. I just want a hidden object/ adventure game with puzzles I can skip. Not a buy.
First ever review here on BF.
Excellent game with a story that easily matches MCF Ravenhurst and sequels.
The puzzels were good, ranging from easy to quite hard.
The HO scenes had enough variety and enough relevance to be entertaining. No finding yet another screwdriver that you drop after using and having to find another one later on.
Voice overs were very good as was the script.
desperately sad in parts and enough respect given to the awful fate that befell so many.
yes the story was one of the best, not confusing or convoluted it held my interest until the end !!
I always enjoy games by this Developer, this is one of the best !!
Great graphics, HOs were interesting and varied, I am not a HO fan but chose to play most of them rather than the matching pairs alternative..
Mini games not mind boggling but good.
My only regret is that I did not get the CE !!!!
Thanks devs congrats on one of the best games I have played !!!
Really good game with lots of story inside it.
There was none of this mindless back and forth, to and fro, just for the sake of it. There was a reason for everything and it made a very nice, and welcome, change.
Seems that there may be a follow-on so I will look forward to the third in this excellent series.
Boy, was this a mistake. I couldn't even get halfway through it before I just couldn't stand it anymore. I had to turn to voice overs off almost immediately. Way too many cutscenes and narratives..way too many. Between HOS and tedious, almost impossible mini games (which I skipped almost all off) and a slow story with almost no action I was about to fall asleep!
Hint and skip refresh quickly...thank goodness. The transporter map is near to being useless. Shows you were you should go then you have no map to find your way beyond that. I had to use the hint to move around more efficiently.
You have to continue to return to this Hannible Lecter guy whose goes into a story narration...I skipped them all. Sometimes you get something for your inventory and other times not...confusing. Then there is the evidence board...tedious and not necessary...just plain dumb waste of time.
Annimations are good but scenes are dark. I can only give this one a 2 out of 5. Not going to waste anymore time with it.
I joined this forum to talk about "The Mists of Ravenwood". Recently only I played its first part, "The Ghosts of Maple Creek". It was excellent.
I skipped many puzzles because I was very curious to know what happens next . I think the most shocking moment is when we we see the face of our mysterious companion, "the prisoner", who have helped us to solve the mysteries. The locations, characters, dialogues, the evidence desk are very nice. And the climax is really superb. I recommend this game for everyone who loves to play Hidden object/Adventurous games. Thanks to BigFish and Artifex Mundi.
excellent game. I liked it better than maple creek. I figured out who was behind the locked door about half way thru the game. The ending begs for the next chapter in the series, much the Davy Jones stories.
I started out really liking this game, but got frustrated with it. The map was too general, and I hated the evidence board. Also, talking to the guy in prison was long and tedious. Other than that, I liked the story, and the graphics were amazing. I give it a 7 out of a 10.
This is seriously one of the best games I have purchased from Bigfish for a very, very long time. It's not for the faint hearted which is something I like. Not gory but it does get very, very scary and dark in places. The gameplay is excellent and the final scenes caught me very much on the hop. I give this an easy 9 out of 10 and I am already looking forward to the next instalment.

Mussels are packed with omega-3s, averaging around 900mg per serving. They are a versatile seafood with lots of flavorful parings to choose from. This recipe focuses on garlic, tomatoes, and clam juice. It's a quick recipe that will have you sitting at the dinner table in no time flat.
DIRECTIONSHeat large pot with 1/2 the olive oil and sliced garlic and onions. When aroma is released, add mussels. Add herbs, white wine and clam juice (optional).
Squeeze lemon and add juice to mussels. Add tomatoes. Cover and simmer until Mussels steam open. Discard unopened mussels and remove from heat keeping warm. To finish mussels, add butter and swirl to make broth thicker.
Optional: Served with crusty bread for dipping in broth.


I've lived through baggy jeans, drainpipes, hoodies, centre partings and god knows what else and the single most universal item throughout has been Chuck Taylors. Old, young, punk, hippy, square; everyone looks sorted in a pair of CTs and it's not because they're middle of the road, it's because somehow they just make sense. I currently have two pairs in my wardrobe and can't remember a time when there wasn't at least one.
My love for Levis begun with Sta Prest and moved on to Twists before I eventually realised all I needed was in a pair of 501s. The thing with 501s is you can kind of cheat on account of the fact there are several different fits and a range of colours & shades. And let's face it; as far as brands go, Levis just have 'cool' down to a T.
Happy has a light, bouncy, unceasingly optimistic citrus feel to it that I'm a big fan of. It lends itself to sunshine and daylight hours but the most obvious qualities are threefold: it smells really nice, it lasts all day and it doesn't cost the earth.
Alright, the checks get bigger, smaller, become more/less tartan or plaid, the fit gets baggier, tighter etc etc etc but at the heart of it there's something that works; check seems to tie together statements like 'worker', 'explorer', 'general laid back all-rounder' but kept crisp can be easily dressed up. Another thing I have permanently in my wardrobe.
They're an awesome timeless classic and everyone knows it. That is all.
If you read future posts you'll learn about my continuing education re whisky but my ongoing passion started with your simple blend, of which there are many. A current favourite is Monkey Shoulder - it just so easy to drink - and I've just discovered Haig Club which is also smoothly irresistible. And yes, I know this bottle is empty. It was nice, we had fun.
There is no reason whatsoever why this post should be of use to you - you might well disagree with all of the above but what can I say, I'm an over-sharer and today is no exception. What would be on your list?

If you're a pet owner, a major concern is what to do if your pet is injured or suddenly gets sick. A couple of years ago my cat jumped up onto the stovetop. I'd been making soup and although the burner had been turned off for at least 15 minutes, he still got burned paws. He ran around the house crying, and I just didn't know what to do for him. I ended up making a frantic call to the vet's office who told me to wrap his paws in a damp washcloth.
I'm working on an article about cosmetics that are toxic free and I came across some Web sites that compare brands and tell you which ones you should be buying. One particular Web site includes items like shampoo, deodorant etc. I've always been willing to pay a few dollars more for something that doesn't contain ingredients found in a chemistry lab, but what shocked me the most was some of the products I've been using for years… and not to mention paying more money for, are actually not that good for you. And an even big shock was seeing that they score lower than some of their cheaper counterparts.
As you can guess I'm going to be covering this whole topic in an upcoming Budget Smart Girl's Guide. And as make-up has remained a firm favorite with readers, I'm going to be talking about mineral make-up as an upcoming topic too. I've been finding some very interesting information about it.


The AC side of your power supply surely has a fuse in your house electrical box.
Just a word of warning. Draw 25 amps through a 20 amp breaker in your house breaker panel sometime and see how long it takes to trip. It will scare you. For most breakers it will be measured in minutes - maybe quite a few.
If you can pull 25A thru a 20A breaker for more than about 1 second, you have a defective breaker and the magnetic trip for the breaker has failed. Heck, even pulling a steady 19A from a 20A breaker should cause it to trip in a few minutes. That is due to the thermal trip protection of the breaker and is the reason for the 80% rule. The breaker being the fuse or protection for your power supplies input side is also completely false. The breaker is in place to protect the outlet and wiring between the breaker and the outlet, not the device(s) plugged into the outlet. Putting a fuse on the input side of a PS doesn't really do all that much and in most cases is simply not needed. Putting fuses on the output side of the supply is a good idea and will protect the supply from excess current draw that can overheat or damage the supply.

Oh, you are SO wrong. Take a look at the time current curve for a circuit breaker some time. Note, I am NOT trying to put you down, but rather to educate you. I am using the Time Current Characteristics chart for a Siemens residential circuit breaker from the Siemens website as a reference.
According to the chart, to trip the breaker in one second requires a current between 5.5 and 10 times the rated current. In other words, for a 20 amp breaker, to get it to trip within 1 second would require between 110 and 200 amps. At 25 amps for that 20 amp breaker would take a minimum of 150 seconds and a maximum of about a half hour. BTW, the chart assumes a temperature of 40 degrees C.
The breaker being the fuse or protection for your power supplies input side is also completely false. The breaker is in place to protect the outlet and wiring between the breaker and the outlet, not the device(s) plugged into the outlet.
That part you are correct. Note that it was not me who made the statement.
Putting a fuse on the input side of a PS doesn't really do all that much and in most cases is simply not needed.
Actually what a fuse on the input of the power supply accomplishes is protecting the wiring between the AC plug and the power supply (and to a lesser extend the wiring between the breaker and the AC outlet). Again using the example I cited above of using 18 AWG SPT-1 for a typical 350 watt power supply. For most purposes, the SPT-1 is rated for 7 amps which is just fine for our 350 watt power supply that will max out at just over 3 amps. If the power supply fails with a fairly hard short, the input fuse will trip LONG before the breaker in the electrical panel trips. Lets say that short (with the resistance of the SPT-1) draws 100 amps. It will take between 1.5 and 3.5 seconds for the 20 amp breaker to trip. How hot do you think the 18 AWG SPT-1 will get in 3.5 seconds with 100 amps flowing through it? The answer is REALLY HOT. As in start fires hot... Fortunately (and I did not know this until pixelpuppy posted it a couple days ago) the power supplies apparently DO have an input fuse.
Putting fuses on the output side of the supply is a good idea and will protect the supply from excess current draw that can overheat or damage the supply.
Correct. However if you direct wire the power supply to a pixel controller, there is no fusing. A fuse on the power supply output would protect the power supply and wiring to the pixel controller in the event of a failure of the pixel controller (on the high current buss part of the controller). There is normally fusing on the outputs from the pixel controller to the pixel strings, but you would be hard pressed to draw enough current from a shorted pixel string to blow a fuse on the output of the power supply. You sure could damage the pixel controller however... Hence the fuses on the pixel outputs on the pixel controller board.
I utilize these, spade terminals on inlet power.


The Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Biochemistry is the newest basic science department at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center. The department was established in 2000 by combining the existing Department of Biochemistry and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. This fusion has resulted in a new dynamic and complementary blending of faculty talents in a way that encourages interdisciplinary activities both within the department and among our faculty and faculty from other departments and programs.
Dr. Nelson has co-authored a paper that provides insight into the lifestyle and unique survival of the Asian longhorned beetle, a tree eating insect. It belongs to a large group (greater than 35,000 species) of longhorned beetles that feed on wood. This is the first member of that group to have its genome sequenced. The findings were published in the latest edition of open access journal Genome Biology.

La chiesa parrocchiale dei Santi Giacomo il Maggiore e Cristoforo martire, a Stabio, è della fine del XVI secolo.

Storia
La chiesa, documentata dal 1275, parrocchiale dal 1575 e consacrata nel 1599, venne ingrandita nei secoli XVIII e XX. L'ampliamento del coro e le finestre termali della navata sono interventi dell'architetto Giuseppe Bordonzotti di Croglio durante il biennio 1929-1930. All'esterno presenta un campanile del XVIII secolo sul fianco ovest, con cinque campane.

Descrizione
La facciata è preceduta da un protiro a serliana del 1807, con capitelli ionici neoclassici.

All'interno presenta un'unica navata a tre campate, coperte con volta a botte lunettata, e sei cappelle laterali, risalenti agli anni 1581-1591. Il transetto fu aggiunto nel 1732 e l'oratorio della confraternita del Santissimo Sacramento (a ridosso della parete di fondo del presbiterio) nel 1773. Il presbiterio è coperto con volta a crociera decorata da stucchi del 1589 circa.

L'altare maggiore tardo barocco del 1758, con edicola a tempietto, è stato arretrato di sette metri durante i restauri del biennio 2006-2007 diretti dall'architetto Tita Carloni. Nel transetto si conservano due dipinti, Vergine e i santi Gioacchino e Anna, settecentesca opera di Giovanni Battista Bagutti (1742-1823) e Madonna coi santi Pietro e Lucia, del 1657 circa, attribuita a Francesco Torriani.

Sulla controfacciata è presente una bussola di noce a tre vani, decorata con lesene e festoni nella parte alta. Al di sopra si trovano la cantoria e l'organo, realizzato da Carlo Bossi negli anni 1808-1810, ricostruito da Giuseppe Bernasconi nel 1872 e riformato nel 1930.

Le cappelle lateriali sono dedicate a sant'Antonio da Padova, alle "Anime del Purgatorio" (fondata dalla famiglia Pusterla nel 1604), al Crocifisso (ed ospitan un gruppo statuario ligneo del 1663 di fra Diego da Careri affiancato da due statue lignee della seconda metà del Seicento provenienti da una chiesa di Como demolita per ordine di Napoleone I), alla Madonna del Rosario, alla Madonna del Carmelo. L'ultima è una cappella impiegata come battistero.

This past month, your legal team at CAIR-SFBA continued dealing with the aftermath of the Muslim Ban decision while assisting individuals by providing direct legal services through immigration clinics and Know Your Rights workshops at mosques and community centers.
The month of August also marked the release of CAIR-California's annual Civil Rights report, which focused on the state of civil rights for California's sizeable Muslim community in the past year and analyzed the troublesome uptick in anti-Muslim incidents from the previous year. Most worryingly, the increase in bias incidents attributable to government authorized and sanctioned policies highlights the pressing need for targeted communities to be aware of their rights and use their enfranchisement powers (right to vote) to effect much needed-change.
The annual report revealed that as compared to 2016, CAIR-California offices statewide (in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Sacramento Valley area, the Greater Los Angeles area and in San Diego) revealed an 82 percent increase in reported incidents of religious-based discrimination, anti-Muslim bias incidents and immigration-related matters.
Amongst the 2,259 total incidents reported to our offices, there was a 503 percent increase in reported discriminatory treatment during travel from 2016 to 2017, driven primarily by the intentional discrimination encapsulated by the Muslim Ban. The number of immigration matters handled also increased significantly by 113 percent from 2016.
The guides are made available in an accessible format for community members to share widely and freely with their respective healthcare service providers, educators and employers. If you find yourself or a loved one a target of discrimination and harassment at your workplace, at healthcare facilities and on school premises, please reach out to us through our incident report form. More generally, we recommend contacting our legal department at 408. 986.9874 for personalized legal consultations or reading through our Know Your Rights materials found on our website.


One certainty in life is everyone has an opinion. The best way to get a person's opinion is asking! So, ask questions and use that to engage your fans on social media.
Ideally, you want questions that are simple to answer. Don't make customers have to work to give feedback. Don't make the questions too hard and avoid the possibility of the "wrong" answer. The idea is to engage not to gain long winded answers.
Be specific and ask if they like one option or the other, or which product they prefer from a short list. Being precise and allowing the answers to be short gets you more comments.
One example would be asking restaurant fans what was their favorite dish was, and then promoted a special offer for that. Alternatively, ask what was missing from the menu, then think about starting to offer the most requested dish. It will generate a lot of discussions and make customers feel they are involved.
Featuring products and services, price points and other questions relating to your service or product will help you engage your fans, delivering a better experience to your customers. Ask your returning and potential customers if they want more information on an aspect of the business. Ask existing customers to simply describe their experiences with your brand and give advice and share tips on how to get most out of your products and services.
Ask fans specific questions, by giving them a list of options you keep control but involve them. People are happy to give their opinions. Ask for tips and advice.
Sometimes overlooked, a simple yes or no question can generate huge levels of engagement. It's also the easiest way to get people engaged. This questions obviously differs from a more open-ended question and needs minimal effort and time for people to respond.
Often individuals have an opinion but don't want to spend the time telling everyone, a yes or no answer question can alter this feeling. You can form a range of yes/no questions by asking about preferred product, color, location or other any other preference that applies.
Use social media functions to your advantage. You can create a poll using Facebook Question feature on your page.
It is very easy, first add a question then poll options. You can even select an option that allows people to add their own answer, this gives them more freedom. Target specific audiences is made easy by choosing location, age or language, back it with a little budget for greater results.
Trivia will keep your followers interested. It's a change from a boring question and will help you educate your audience. Add more interest and engagement with giveaways or prizes. Make sure the trivia questions relate back to your business or field of expertise. First watch, computer, most sales, etc. You can use harder brain teasers but that depends on your audience.
What would you like to see from our company?
This particular question can open up the possibility of negative responses due to being open-ended If you do ask this type of question you must make sure that the forum or social media page is monitored.
There is a good chance for your company to gather some truly valuable information from your Facebook page.
Ensure to word this type of question in a way that makes respondents think. What kind of services do you most need right now? Wording the question that way gets the individual to think honestly about needs rather than wants. Its more likely these answers will be more valuable as you forge the identity of your business and its future offerings.
This question is similar to the last in the way that it's almost a survey question. It strives to get people talking about products or services in a positive way.
It's a good way for people to see what others enjoy as well, this can impact future decision making processes. Remember to give options to the question, this will deter people from negative answers.
Facebook is all about sharing thoughts. People want their ideas and stories to be heard and asking questions of your fans gives them a chance to do just that. With a little creativity and trial and error, you can come find a great balance of daily questions that keep your page thriving – a place your fans can tell others about.

Q: Extracting data from a Magento collection. I have it broken down to an array but trying to call it breaks the page I'm working on a script that will give a Magento user directions after selecting warehouse pickup (a plugin option). I already have the rest built. I'm simply missing one variable I need to call on success.phtml (the warehouse ID). The variable is tied to orders via stock_id.
This produces an array: I'm using $order successfully to pull the rest of the info I need for the script.
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId($this->getOrderId());
$items = $order->getItemsCollection();

A shortened version of this array: can be printed with print_r($items->getData());
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [item_id] => 223
            [stock_id] => 15
            [base_discount_refunded] =>
        )

)

When I try to pull the data that I want out:
echo $items[0]['stock_id']; //the page breaks here and stops the page abruptly...

the page breaks and any logic that should take place after is ignored. What would cause this? I tried braking variables I'm calling in other similar arrays. None of my tests have replicated the page breaking. Why is this specific one breaking the page instead of returning 15?

A: You might try enumerating $items using var_export in your page, instead of print_r so you can see them as they truly exist:
foreach ($items as $item)
{
   var_export($item->debug());
}

This will provide you with the results. Items is an object populated with more objects, not an array and should be treated as such. Try using
$itemId = $item->getStockId();

or
$itemId = $item->getData('stock_id');

Both accomplish the same thing.
FYI.. the debug() function shows relevant info and its built into magento for use with all mage objects.
EDIT: Try this:
echo $items[0]->getData('stock_id');

A: Well, $items is not an array, it is an object of Mage_Sales_Model_Resource_Order_Item_Collection. This should work:
$data = $items->getData();
echo $data[0]['stock_id'];

But using the enumeration interface of the collection, like already mentioned, would be much cleaner. Take a look at http://alanstorm.com/magento_collections.
You should also check your PHP configuration, to get more information on such errors. Take a look at http://alanstorm.com/magento_exception_handling_developer_mode.

Q: How To Write A Regular Expression For Specific Requirement? I am working On Regular Expression in JavaScript, I tried all my possible ways but i couldn't get an answer for my requirement.
My requirement is, I need a regular expression, it should validate a string to be contained  at least one character, one capital letter, one number and one special character. They all should occur anywhere in the string, like "Kumar04@".
My work around is:
var regex= RegExp("^[a-zA-Z0-9][^\w]*$");

But it is validating only either one letter or one capital letter or one number, but I need at least one of each group.

A: var regex = /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[^\s\w]).*$/;
