New study shows substantial benefit of home-based family support.
Ahead of the general election leading family support charity, Home-Start, has called on all political parties to commit to investing in proven methods of help for families, such as volunteer-led, peer-to-peer relationship based support.
The call coincides with a new study released by the charity into their work with families. The study takes in data over eight years and 43,000 families, making it one of the largest studies of its kind. It shows that families receiving two or three hours of voluntary, home-based support each week see a significant and substantial improvement in the challenges they face.

Acting chief executive of Home-Start UK, Vivien Waterfield said:
"With an election just a day away we are calling on all political parties to commit to investing in proven low cost services that support families struggling with issues including post-natal depression, isolation, physical health problems, bereavement and many others. The study we have published today is one of the largest of its kind and captures the experience of tens-of-thousands of families across the whole country. It clearly shows the impact that peer-to-peer support can have on families. We have to take action, because childhood can't wait."
The new study was carried out by Prof. Philip Sugarman, Vice-Chair of Home-Start UK, and Home-Start's monitoring and evaluation database expert Kamal Chudasama. It shows that families supported by Home-Start's home visiting volunteers see a significant improvement in parental well-being, family management, parenting skills and children's well-being.
The results are contained in a paper entitled "Volunteer-led family intervention: the UK Home-Start programme" which analysed data returned by around 300 local Home-Start charities between 2010 and 2018. The study used complete data from as many as 43,000 families. Using statistical techniques, they found an unusually large improvement effect in this very large population.
These findings gel with a series of high-quality controlled studies in the Netherlands in recent years, which have found Home-Start support more effective than comparison groups, and just as effective alone as when combined with a comprehensive parenting intervention. Their follow-up studies have also shown benefits compared with controls to be sustained on an array of measures for up to ten years.
Home-Start is a local community network of trained volunteers and experts helping families with young children through their most challenging times.
Across the United Kingdom, 13,500 home-visiting volunteers support over 27,000 families and 56,000 children to transform their lives. Currently, almost 200 local, independent Home-Starts have coverage in over 70 percent of local authority areas across the UK.

Purpose of the Rapid BootLoader Shield (or RBS) is to quickly program 40 pin ATMega microprocessors (currently supported ATMega644p and ATMega1284p). It's a no frills open source shield that plugs into Arduino Uno, and using Arduino as ISP allows to quickly burn Sanguino (or other) bootloaders quickly thanks to the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket. It also has FTDI interface so you can program your sketch. No need to remove it from Arduino in the process.
It's very useful if you need to program many chips in a hurry without much of an effort. I'll provide all schematics and instructions below so you can build one.
Not many to speak off 🙂 It has 40-pin ZIF socket, FTDI and ISP headers and 3 indicator LEDs (Green,Red and Blue) that will indicate you process of loading firmware/bootloader.
Installing Sanguino support files is easy. Download latest Sanguino zip from link above, create "hardware" folder in your projects folder (if it's not already there) and extract all files into it (you should now have "sanguino" folder inside).
2. Make sure you have Arduino Uno selected from Tools->Board.
4. Now disconnect Arduino from computer, and insert Rapit Bootloader shield.
5.Open lever of the ZIF socket and place your ATMega chip (notch or 1st pint should point towards lever). Close lever.
6. Reconnect Arduino to computer. Green heartbeat LED1 on RBS should start pulsing.
6. Go to Tools->Board and select "Sanguino w/ ATMega644p" or ATMega1284p. If you don't see it the list it means you didn't install files required for Sanguino.
8. Go to Tools->Burn Bootloader.
At this point LED1 (heartbeat) and LED3(programming) will begin blinking. Burning bootloader might take few minutes so be patient. Once it's done you'll see success message and heartbeat led will begin pulsing again.
Feel free to connect your FTDI adapter and load test sketch into newly programmed chip. Just lift lever to remove chip (but unplug power first, just to be on the safe side!).
RBS is completely open source. Feel free to make it, just give me some credit please 🙂 I only made single prototype and it had many errors so I had to cut traces and solder jump wires all over. At this point I think I corrected all mistakes but doublecheck schematics before you make our own PCB.

Let me know if you interested in buying one. If I get enough requests I'll make a small batch.

Howard Dean's Speech to the DNC in Chicago, August 19, 2006
Well, that was 100 days before the election, and now we have 80. We have a record turnout in the Democratic primaries, we've got a lot of new voters, and we've got great momentum. But the election is not today. If it were, we would have a majority in the House of Representatives, and very close to a majority in the United States Senate. We'd pick up five or six governor's races. But it is not today.
For the next 80 days, we're going to do more of this. We're going to knock on doors, we're going to talk to our neighbors, we're going to go speak to folks at picnics and talk about what's at stake in this election. We have grat candidates, and our candidates are not running away from the Democratic party. (Applause)
...We can do better than this. We will have a new direction in foreign defense policy. You can trust the Democrats to defend the United States of America here at home, but you can't trust the Republicans to defend America. They talk tough, but we need to be tough and smart in defending America (Applause).
These are billions of dollars for one month in Iraq. The Gulf Coast could have been rebuilt. And here, almost a year after the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, very little has been done. For the price of one month in Iraq, Mississippi, Louisiana, and New Orleans could have been rebuilt. We need a new direction in America--you can't trust the Republicans. (Applause)
The reason that the Republican party has failed America is very simple. It's not Iraq, and it's not the enormous deficits. It's the way they win elections. They win elections by dividing us. We need to be one community again. We need to listen to those who disagree with us, as well as those who agree with us, again.
Because what the Republicans have done, is to put the interests of their party ahead of the interests of America. We need a new direction in America, where we have a political party in charge who understands their loyalty is to America, and not even to the Democratic Party.
In the city of Chicago, the people who drive the taxis that you all were taking around yesterday (I hope you were enjoying the sights) those folks pay three dollars a gallon for gas--55 bucks a day. The Republicans' response to that is to give 16 billion dollars worth of tax breaks to Exxon-Mobil and big oil. Slipped into the budget in the middle of the night when nobody knew it was there.
There are thousands upon thousands of seniors here and throughout the country, who are struggling now with the so-called "donut hole" of Medicare Part D, the largest farce ever perpetrated on the American people. Because that "drug benefit" was written for the benefit of the pharmaceutical companies and the insurance companies, and seniors were left behind. We need a new direction with a party in charge that's going to care about seniors, and write our legislation to benefit seniors, not the drug industry and the insurance companies. (Applause)
There is another war that the president hasn't told us about. And that's the Republican war on the middle class. The war on the middle class, the war on hard-working people who are under siege from Republican policies that make it harder for working people to make ends meet. The president talked about math and science excellence in the State of the Union Address. A short time later, his party cut 12 billion dollars out of Pell Grants. This country is a great country, because we have the largest middle class in America (sic). In order to be part of the middle class, we need those Pell Grants back, we need those lower interest rates back again.
How can you be in the middle class if you can't send your kids to college? People have got a second and third and fourth mortgage, working three jobs, we want to give people opportunity again. They are the party that take opportunity away from ordinary working people, and gives it to their privileged donors. We stand for ordinary working people, they have forgotten who built America--it was the middle class, it was the labor unions, it was the working people. We want a new direction, where ordinary Americans run America again, and not the privileged few Republicans who have put their party above the interests of Americans.
The vast majority of Americans believe that we're going in the wrong direction, and the choice is very clear in this election. You want more of the same, or do you want a new direction for America? A Democratic Congress will not rubber stamp the administration's policies and put the agenda of the far right ahead of what's good for America. The Republican platform is one... their agenda is one of divisiveness, deceit, distortion and deficits, and we can't afford that any more. We need a new direction for America.
Fearmongering, whining, complaining, and namecalling is not leadership, Mr. President and Mr. Vice President. We will do better. (Applause). We will not turn our back on the people of Louisiana and Mississippi. The president had no plan for the Gulf Coast, as we come up on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and he still has no no plan for the Gulf Coast. He had no plan for Iraq, and he still has no plan for Iraq.
Katrina was a terrible tragedy, not just for New Orleans and Mississippi, not just for the people who died or still have not been able to move home. Katrina was a tragedy for America. Because one thing people believed throughout the world, throughout this country but throughout the world, whether they liked us or not, they believed that Americans could fix anything. And we believed that about ourselves. That if something really bad happens, call in the Americans, they're the best organized people and the best managing people--they can fix anything. Something really bad happens, call in the Americans.
And what we experienced a year ago was not just the personal loss and tragedy to all of our lives, because so many of us knew people or had family in New Orleans or Mississippi. What we experienced was a tragedy. But seeing, unmasked, the incompetence, and failures, and indifference, of the president and the Republican majority, we need a new direction for America where no one is left behind! (Applause)
The American people are extraordinary people. What we saw was great acts of generosity, and courage and heroism, of people coming together and opening their hearts, reaching out to help one another. That reminds us that the American people will transcend the incompetence of our leaders. We need a new direction where we are as competent and fair and qualified and caring as the American people showed themselves to be a year ago. We can do better.
We will have a new direction of hope and opportunity in America, based on the idear that we are all in this together. Not just those in the Democratic party, not just those in urban America. We will reach out to those who disagree with us, we will reach out to Evangelical Christians, to rural Americans, we are all in this together. It is time to end the divisiveness.
...We have an enormous amount to do in the next 80 days. There is a feeling of optimism here, I've felt it myself over the last few days. In some ways, a little giddy--we're not used to being in this position in the last twelve years. Don't get giddy, and don't get optimistic. We're going to win this race the same way anybody wins races. Not by hoping for the best, but by working for what's right. One foot in front of the other. Ever door you knock on presents the American people with a Democrat who's proud to be a Democrat and explains to people why we need a new direction in America and what our new direction is. Every door you knock on.
We are only going to win this if we do what you have been doing for the last year and a half--talking to your neighbors. This is the fun part--come out here to Chicago, room full of Democrats, we feel good, we've got great candidates. The hard part...the hard part, is going out and doing what we have to do next. And that is, for the next 80 days, talking to all those folks who did not vote with us the last time. Reaching out to them, understanding their resentments and their fears and their angers. Talking to them about what's on their mind. Listening to them before we talk at them.
We can do that. The American people are ready for a change. The American people for the last five years of difficulty and poor leadership, have never lost what makes them wonderful: their sense of caring, their sense of optimism, and their desire for real leadership that will emphasize hope over fear.
We can do this again. We can be great again. We can be the moral authority and the moral leader of the free world again. We can eliminate our deficits again. We can be proud of our armed forces, and listen to them as they guide us, rather than being incompetent civilian leaders and telling them what to do before we're willing to listen to them--we can honor our military again by never sending them abroad without being adequately equipped again. We will honor our military again, because we will listen to them. We will have a new direction in defense, we will have a new direction for the economic well-being of our people, we will have a new direction in education, we will have a new direction in retirement security, we will have a new direction in job creation in America, and we will have a new direction to end the divisiveness, to end the hallmark of this administration, which is put their own interests in front of America. We will restore America to its greatness. We need a new direction, and in 80 days, we will have one. Thank you very much. (Much applause and cheering). Thank you very much.

I thought it would be interesting to look at the traffic for this site to see if there's a pattern. Sure enough, over the past year, the number of readers and visitors has remained very consistent. Here is the typical order, from highest to lowest.
What's funny is that this mirrors the pattern on our websites. I wouldn't be surprised if it's common on the web as a whole.
The takeaway? First, a very high percentage of web traffic is during working hours during the work week. Second, if I have a ground-breaking announcement to make, Saturday is probably not the best day.

Q: Generate an interface from an array of field names I have an array of supported languages
['en', 'de', 'fr', 'it']

Many of classes should have those fields
class MyObject {

 id: number;
 name: string;

 en: string;
 de: string;
 fr: string;
 it: string;
}

Some classes can also have other fields that are connected to languages
class DescriptionsObject {

 description_en: string;
 description_de: string;
 description_it: string;
 description_fr: string;

}

There can be added other such fields.
I don't want to add each such field for each language manually, is there a way of doing it faster by using magic of TypeScript ?

David Jackson v. State of Mississippi – motion for records – David Jackson was convicted of possession of cocaine and intent to distribute. On appeal, his conviction was affirmed. He then filed a motion in the Madison County Circuit Court asking for records and transcripts in the trial court. The trial court denied the motion on the basis that Jackson was not entitled to discovery. Jackson appealed and the Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. On cert., the Miss. S. Ct. holds that the trial court should have dismissed Jackson's motion for records and transcripts for want of jurisdiction rather than denying it on the merits and the Court of Appeals should have affirmed the trial court's dismissal on that basis.
We find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the requested twotheory instruction since two other jury instructions fairly instructed the jury as to the law. Further, it is not necessary for us to determine whether the evidence against Shelton was completely circumstantial because a trial court, under McInnis, may refuse a two-theory instruction—even where all of the evidence is circumstantial—if it has given a circumstantial evidence instruction as the trial court did here.
Wayne County School District v. J. Ed Morgan, in his Official Capacity as the Commissioner of Revenue of the Mississippi Department of Revenue – interest on erroneously collected taxes – In Jones County School District v. Mississippi Department of Revenue, 111 So. 3d 588 (Miss. 2013), the court held that a school district was not liable for oil and gas severance taxes on royalties derived from oil and gas production on sixteenth-section land. After that decision, the Chancery Court of Wayne County held that Wayne County School District was owed interest by the Mississippi Department of Revenue on its overpayment of severance taxes at the rate of one percent per month starting on June 5, 2013, ninety days after the Court's ruling in Jones County. MDOR appeals. The Miss.S.Ct. affirms.

Now's your possibility to emphasise you skill for the business. Outline your job goals (rendering it relevant to the positioning you're trying to get) and extend on pertinent details in your CV – including illustrations to returning up your skills.
Now, Within the 4th paragraph, Here's where you reiterate your affinity for the role and just why you'd be the right fit for the role. It is also a great time to indicate you would like to meet the company for an interview.


Port development and port operation activities (may) affect the environmental quality. Therefore environment is an essential component in port management. The basic principle for the environmental considerations has been founded in the concept of sustainable development as agreed upon during the Rio Convention on Bio Diversity in 1992, sustainable development was defined as: 'Development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'.
This concept of sustainable development has lead to a series of international treaties and conventions, which are continually being updated and developed. The countries that are contracting members to the convention have to comply the obligations of the convention by implementing these in national legislation. This has lead to the introduction of stringent regulations for environmental sound port operation.
Port managers, responsible for port planning and design, or with responsibility for the management of the operations in a port have to be aware of the growing importance of environmental issues. Many times they will be confronted with resistance to planned projects, with unfeasible time limits, with cost which pass all bounds and even with projects that will not be realized at all, due to environmental constraints. So it is essential to be able to handle these subjects in an efficient and practical way.
- what are the basic drivers and conditions - what are the environmental issues in ports - what are the legal obligations - which parties to involve in this process - which institutional aspects to incorporate in the design - and the way to integrate the environmental issues to be considered in port planning and design.

Ongoing growth and a commitment to providing their expanding market with innovative new products prompted PreSonus Audio Electronics, Inc. to commission an $8+ million, 44,000-square foot complex as their new home. Following almost two years of design and construction, the leading manufacturer of professional digital and analog audio hardware and integrated software opened its new high-tech headquarters and research facility in May 2014. The state of the art facility includes R&D, testing and engineering departments, executive offices and, in an atypical move, a state-of-the-art recording studio.
It is rare for a manufacturer of pro audio equipment to invest in a full-blown, in-house recording studio on this scale. The thinking was it was vital that new PreSonus technology be subject to real world recording studio conditions. The WSDG recording complex will enable PreSonus product engineers to scrupulously assess new developments in absolutely real-world conditions. The studio should go a long way towards eliminating bugs and wrinkles prior to field-testing, before they even touch the consumer's hands.
The 2,500 sq. ft. PreSonus Recording Studio is situated at the hub of the new complex. It features a 313 sq. ft. control room, 500 sq. ft. live room, two iso rooms (127 sq. ft. & 60 sq. ft.), a 127 sq. ft. Video Production Suite, five 100+ sq. ft. Test Labs and, an additional 1500 sq. ft. live performance area. The studio is fully isolated from the surrounding marketing, sales, business/meeting rooms, café and support areas. Each control room has its own iso booth, and the studios are designed to provide a high level of interactivity. For example the Control Room can command the live room and both isos, while the Video Production Suite functions independently for live shoots and utilizes the iso booths for overdubs. This flexibility was critical to enabling PreSonus Engineering and R&D teams to maximize their studio resources. The Live Sound Room also provides PreSonus with a venue in which to test their growing line of live sound products. Instruments remain set up on the stage and employees (many of whom are accomplished musicians) can jam using the PreSonus gear, without fear of distracting their co-workers.

Playing Make-Believe: World-Building and World-Crafting
Writers are atlas makers
Do you remember playing make-believe when you were little? Playing with your friends, or with dolls or stuffed animals, and creating elaborate and often complex scenarios, relationships, situations, and rules within a make-believe world filled with magic, or monsters, or heroes, or explorers, or princesses, or anything else we could conjure up from our imaginations?
When we're children make-believe is a way for us to be safe while experimenting with the world, testing boundaries, trying on new personas, pretending to be older, pretending to be adults, letting our imaginations take us as far away from ourselves as we can go, into new worlds and new landscapes. And then, just as Mickey returns from the Night Kitchen in time for breakfast, we can come home again, back into ourselves and into our real worlds, richer for the world of make-believe we know we can explore again whenever we want.
As we grow up, many of us outgrow make-believe. But there are some people who don't outgrow make-believe at all, and they became…fiction writers! I loved make-believe when I was growing up, and I have no doubt that speaks in some part to how I became a children's book editor. And one of the most fantastic parts of make-believe for me was the world–the multiple worlds, in fact–I could create in my imagination. Worlds in which I could set all the rules, worlds in which feared creatures became friends, worlds in which puppy-love crushes were manifested, worlds in which disabilities were assets, worlds in which I could be anyone and anything I wanted. So what better way to stay close to the land of make-believe than journeying into worlds created by storytellers?
Whether fantasy or realism, crafting the worlds of our stories is really akin to setting up the worlds we created as children playing make-believe, only this time we're responsible for creating worlds rich enough, believable enough, and inviting enough for readers to join us, to journey with us, to stay there with us.
World-building is an exciting and often complicated part of writing a great book, made more complex when you recognize that the world of a story must exist on two levels–the actual world in which a main character lives and the internal world in which a main character lives–the emotional and psychological world.
Writers are atlas makers, crafting the maps their characters will need to explore and find their way through literal and figurative landscapes. And the more clearly marked and detailed and interesting these maps are, the more excited and curious readers will be to find their way through these landscapes, too.

When I was little, I used to think I was special--in that no one else thought like I did. That there were actual invisible people who lived in my backyard and could only speak to me... or there were portals to other lands. I grew up living in "another world"--and am still partly there!
It was a cool moment for me when I realized I wasn't alone (or crazy!), and that other people like me *did* exist! (And you're right, they're called writers!)
Perfect words used in this post, Ms. Dryden. You captured this topic perfectly!
Thanks for sharing these comments, Morgan!
Robyn Waters 5/29/2013
Perfect timing to read this, since I'm in the process of making up a new world for my story. You always seem to add the right flavor to the verbal pictures you create. They make the work look easier to me, thanks, Emma!
Keep going, Robyn! And have fun with the world you're weaving!
Carol Baldwin 5/29/2013
Great blog. Now to do it!!
Peni R. Griffin 5/30/2013
What do you mean, "when I was little?" I'm a gamer and a writer - so I never stopped. When I couldn't write during/after the Year from Hell (literally, couldn't; I'd stare at the screen and cry, I was so empty) running modules for our gaming group and fixing the illogical things in them kept me sane. The rest of the group, too - it was The Year from Hell for every one of us.
I think the need to enter alternate worlds for refreshment is, if not universal, much more common and natural than our society assumes. Look at the antiquity of notions about the alternate realms of faery, heaven, hell, the underworld, the kingdoms of the sea; look at the secret worlds full of living animals in the caves of prehistory; look at people running around on weekends recreating Civil War battles, LARPing, playing SCA; look at the popularity of simulation games; look at the way people immerse themselves in their fandoms (including the strange alternate universes that sports nerds live in), and look at books, TV shows, movies. We crave this stuff.
We must need it or we wouldn't go to such lengths and produce such a variety of ways to achieve it.
Well said, Peni. Thanks for your comments.

Rich Americans are totally freaked out about Brexit, economic data shows
Published: July 15, 2016 at 10:58 a.m. ET
Consumer sentiment falls more than forecast in July
The Brits did quit, and that's made wealthy Americans nervous.
A measure of consumer sentiment dropped sharply in July, as wealthy Americans were rattled by a decision by the U.K. to leave the European Union.
The University of Michigan said on Friday its consumer sentiment index fell to 89.5 in July, a three-month low, from 93.5 in June. Economists polled by MarketWatch anticipated a reading of 92.5.
Also read: Retail sales climb in June, helped by home-and-garden boom
Richard Curtin, the survey of consumers chief economist, pinned the decline on Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
"Prior to the Brexit vote, virtually no consumer thought the issue would have the slightest impact on the U.S. economy. Following the Brexit vote, it was mentioned by record numbers of consumers, especially high income consumers," he said.
According to Curtin, 24% of households with incomes in the top third mentioned Brexit when asked to identify any recent economic news they heard.
Still, real consumer spending can be expected to rise by 2.7% in both 2016 and 2017, he said.

January has become the single biggest month of the year for me: not only do we host a big New Year's party for our friends, but we then all travel to San Antonio for PAX South.
It's an interesting mix of business and pleasure as I go with a media pass to interview devs, network with folks, and play games, while hanging out with friends.
PAX South 2019 was my fourth PAX. I scheduled it very similarly to last year, front-loading my Friday full of press appointments and leaving Sunday open to wander around and check things out at my own pace. I also almost exclusively remained on the show floor and tabletop areas.
I return exhausted but very satisfied, and sad that it all went by so quickly.
This was the first year that Raymond couldn't attend, though he actually lives the closest to San Antonio of any of us. Which meant we could meet him in dinner as we drove down!
Chris flew into DFW and drove down with us as he did last year – and this time my wife got to go! The four of us had dinner in Austin. By the time we got to the hotel it was around 11pm. The TRU by Hilton was smaller but nice, clean, and cheap! And also decently close to the convention center.
I had brought several board games to play on Thursday night but we only got through a single game of Sagrada before we were tired from the 4+ hour drive.
Like last year I packed my Friday full of back-to-back press appointments. It works well but is super exhausting.
I was a bit late arriving to the Early Media Hour, but I was able to jump in to the Sony booth and play a 15-minute demo of Days Gone. They had a large, gory booth right in the middle of the show floor. Days Gone played better than I was expecting, and I got some solid State of Decay vibes, though I rolled my eyes at the edgy tone.
From there I glanced at Developer Digital, didn't notice anything particularly new or noteworthy (unlike last year) and instead went to The Arcade Crew to play Dark Devotion (Dead Cells meets Dark Souls) and Young Souls (Co-op brawler-RPG). After that the show floor opened and it was appointment time. As you can see above, I saw and played a TON of games.
At one point I had to huff it to the nearby Grand Hyatt up to the 3rd floor to play an RTS VR game called Final Assault. I've never had particularity good VR experiences but this one was easily the best, with a fun tabletop wargame aesthetic as you dropped troops right onto the battlefield.
Stand out games for me were Dicey Dungeons, a simple but fun roguelike dungeon crawler using dice that desperately needs a mobile version, Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove which looked way more enjoyable and well-put together than I was expecting, and Stygian: Reign of the Old Gods, which resembled a Cthulhu version of an old Fallout RPG.
I didn't have time for many board game companies on Friday, but I did swing by to say hello to Tim Fowers of Fowers Games and Trey Chambers at Level 99 Games. I also chatted with Pandasaurus' new marketing manager, and hope to expand a full feature on their company for Tabletop Gaming Magazine.
I also got to interview Matt Hudson from Dire Wolf Digital about all the new digital board games they're making, as well as Clank Legacy: Acquisitions Incorporated. Then we geeked out about Tomb of Annihilation together!
Reese and Rachelle met us in the afternoon, though I didn't really get a chance to chat or hang out given my schedule. We even went to different dinners, as I had the Dire Wolf appointment at 6, and Heather was getting her Acq Inq autographs (she was first in line!) Heather and I had dinner at a delicious tex-mex place, Maria Mia, which is basically a tradition at this point, as is returning to the Tabletop freeplay area afterward.
We only played one game that evening: Architects of the West Kingdom, but we all loved it and ended with a tree way tie, going to the 2nd tiebreaker!
Saturday was a bit different this year because they moved the Acquisitions Incorporated game from afternoon to evening, 8p-11p. While this did give us a whole afternoon, we quickly realized that trying to navigate the show floor on Saturday is kind of awful – way more crowded!
I had several more appointments to get through. Lots of indie games that show well at PAX are little more than Mario Party-style minigames. That being said, Magequit was one of the best of those style games I played, capable of supporting up to 10 players in quick rounds where you gain more and more spells.
Rezplz was another standout game and the lanky brothers at Longneck Studios were both friendly and informative to talk to. They were going fulltime and bringing their co-op puzzle-platformer to Kickstarter, but seemed very well prepared for it.
Saturday was when I attended my only panel this year, a companion talk to Ashley Brandin's Gaming in Education, which is particularly applicable to one of the main gaming sites I write for, Pixelkin.org. Panels take time away from playing games and talking to devs on the show floor, so I typically don't schedule more than one or two.
The highlight of my day came from chatting with folks. I got to interview Civilization 5 designer Jon Shafer at hotel lobby about his interesting career leading up to finally releasing At the Gates this week. Good dude!
And then when we were resting mid-afternoon in the tabletop area, a fan of our YouTube channel, Ikarus Gaming, who was attending PAX with his son, found us! He was very nice and we took some pics together.
We had to get an early dinner to be ready for Acq Inq that night. We ate at the Yard House, which was pricey but delicious, and right across from Maria Mia.
The timing worked out great. We got in line around 7p as the queue line filled around us. We had great seats right in the front-middle and enjoyed the show, always one of our favorite parts of the entire convention.
The last day of PAX is all about tabletop games. I had only a single appointment and it was first thing in the morning offsite at a hotel lobby (three offsite appointments this year, yeesh).
I went around to most of the new and upcoming games at the Tabletop Indie Showcase, and visited any booths I had my eye on but hadn't had time before, such as Floodgate Games, Foxtrot Games, and Skybound Games. We also had a really fun demo experience from Craig Sawyer at Sentient Cow Games, playing the D&D-like sci-fi RPG Escape from Dulce.
Oh and we also ran into Jerry Holkins. I told him I was worried about his character Omin after the game on Saturday! He was immediately nice and friendly. I think I get a chance to chat with him almost every year.
And of course, some merch shopping, including picking up some spiffy player mats from the Dice Throne folks. Have I mentioned that Dice Throne S2 is one of the most impressive Kickstarter board games I've ever seen?
We left around 5:30p and met Raymond for dinner again near Austin, this time for fast food as our pockets were considerably lighter.
PAX South was fun, busy, productive, and wonderful, as always. A great chance to get together with friends as well as network with industry folks and play games. See you next year, San Antonio!


What has this scripture got to do with Christian salvation? Let us find out.
In Israel there were two harvest seasons and each was celebrated with a Festival. One was spring harvest which yielded a small harvest. The other was autumn harvest when a greater harvest was reaped. Old Testament Israel observed these Festivals but did not understand the spiritual application. They were the shadows, but Jesus is the reality. In the New Testament, Jesus used the parable of the wheat and the tares as an analogy of a spiritual harvest. Matthew 24:30-32 refers to the saving of the souls that will be reaped at His second coming.
The Festivals were kept by the Jews of Jesus' time—In fact, all the feasts given to Israel in Leviticus 23 somehow prefigured Christ, and were kept by the Jews of Jesus' time. Jesus Himself kept them to fulfil all righteousness. We are not saved by keeping them, as we read in Ephesians 2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." However, there are great benefits if we observe them in the spirit of love, truth and sincerity spoken of in 1 Corinthians 5:8. The Autumn Festival reminds me of the peaceful reign of Jesus when a great harvest will be reaped.
Many brethren will get together at our Autumn Festivals, where they will taste and experience peace, harmony and joy with the brethren from different parts of the world, dwelling together rejoicing in fellowship with each other. "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!" said King David in Psalm 133:1.
This is the shadow. The reality is in the future when Jesus Christ will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords ruling from Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:1-4). Isaiah 11:9 foretells that then the earth will be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. Let us rejoice and give thanks to God Almighty who loads us with blessings every day.
Merciful Father, I am very grateful to You for the opportunity to dwell together with the brethren in peace. I give thanks and praise You in the name of our Saviour, Jesus.

You asked: Is Venezuela a multiethnic state?
Is Venezuela multiethnic?
What kind of country is Venezuela?
What is the majority race in Venezuela?
Is Venezuela homogeneous?
Does Venezuela have a black population?
What religions are in Venezuela?
Venezuela is a country of immigrants. About two-thirds of the population is mestizo (of mixed European and indigenous [Amerindian] ancestry) or mulatto-mestizo (African, European, and indigenous); about one-fifth of Venezuelans are of European lineage, and one-tenth have mainly African ancestry.
The Constitution recognises Venezuela as a multiethnic and multicultural society, and its basic provisions (Art. 9) establish that Indigenous languages are also official in the country. Indigenous Peoples account for approximately 2.8% of the total population of 32 million inhabitants.
Venezuela is a federal presidential republic consisting of 23 states, the Capital District and federal dependencies covering Venezuela's offshore islands. Venezuela is among the most urbanized countries in Latin America; the vast majority of Venezuelans live in the cities of the north and in the capital.
The majority of Venezuelans are the result of a mixture of Europeans, Africans and Amerindians. Approximately 51.6% of the population are Pardos of mixed European, African, and Amerindian ancestry; 43.6% of Venezuelans identify as European, 3.6% identify as being Afro-Venezuelan and 2.7% identify as being Amerindian.
The offspring of master and slave often was freed and might even have received some education and been named a beneficiary in the father's will. As a result of these racial mixtures, Venezuelan society from its very beginnings displayed a more homogeneous ethnic makeup than most other Latin American colonies.
IT IS INTERESTING: What season is it in Brazil in February?
About 51.6% of the population is mixed (mestizo) white, Amerindian and black in Venezuela, while 46.6% are white or of European ancestry. Another 3.7% is predominantly/fully African, while 2.7% is of predominant/full Amerindian ancestry, and 1.0% other races (mainly Asians).
Venezuela does not have an official religion. However, Roman Catholicism is the dominant faith and deeply culturally pervasive. According to the 2011 national census, it is estimated roughly 71% of the population identified as Catholic.


A female primary school teacher sexually assaulted her male colleague after ripping open his shirt at a parent's evening, a tribunal was told.
Helen Evans, 44, left her victim "intimidated and extremely upset" when she allegedly ripped open his clothing before grabbing his testicles.
Evans was accused of carrying out the sexual assault during a parent-teacher event at Llanishen Fach Primary School, Cardiff in May 2013.
Evans, who had taught at the school for 22 years, did not deny the incident happened and was subsequently reported to police.
However the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to take the case any further, it was heard.
The male staff member quit his teaching post after the incident and blames Evans' behaviour for his departure, a fitness to practice hearing was told.
Llanishen Fach Primary School's headteacher Sarah Coombes said the male teacher's self esteem was lowered as a result of the "sexually motivated" encounter.
She said another colleague had described Evans as "rude, abrupt and confrontational."
The 44-year-old was sacked in April 2015 over seven allegations alleged to have amounted to gross misconduct.
She was accused of bringing a snake into the school in 2015 without a risk assessment and marking pupils' books with inappropriate comments.
Ms Coombes said: "Colleague C has an extreme phobia of snakes and was not made aware of the visit."
Evans also allegedly called mocked senior members of staff three months before she was dismissed, describing them as "dumb and dumber".
She was also accused of bullying and intimidating behaviour by four members of staff.
Presenting officer Hannah Eales said the allegations related to "bullying behaviour and sexually motivated actions".
An employment tribunal in Cardiff heard that in December 2014, Miss Evans did not allow her pupils to go to a Christmas carol assembly in which the whole school was taking part.
Ms Coombes said a colleague overheard Miss Evans saying she was "boycotting" the Christmas assembly.
But Miss Evans claimed the children were missing the concert because they were "playing with toys."
She also claimed she had asked the five and six-year-olds "what they wanted to do."
Miss Evans is accused of failing to follow management instructions, behaving unacceptably towards colleagues and making inappropriate comments.
She is also accused of providing inaccurate information and behaving dishonestly with regards to pupils work.
Following her dismissal a Crowdfunding page was launched to fund taking the school to court.
"It has had such a great impact and time has been wasted. Helen showed clear disregard to these things."
But last year, Miss Evans won a claim for wrongful dismissal from her teaching job.
Her appeal was upheld after the tribunal claimed the school did not provide any specific evidence of gross misconduct.
The tribunal panel said: "Whether Helen Evans's actions were intentional or not remains unknown, however witness statements have suggested she doesn't like rules, is a maverick and likes to do things 'her own way'.
"Her actions, whether intentional or not, appear to have resulted in significant stress and anxiety for some staff."
The Education Workforce Council, which Miss Evans is not attending, continues in Cardiff.

There's been pause since Southeast Asia last welcomed fresh venture capital, but one reload is on its way after NSI Ventures, an early investor in Indonesian unicorn and Uber rival Go-Jek, announced a first close of its second fund. The target is $125 million, which represents a significant increase on its first fund of $90 million.
The firm said it has pulled in $75 million of committed capital from existing LPs for the new fund. A full close is expected in the first half of 2018.
Beyond an early investment in Go-Jek, which is closing in on new investment at a valuation exceeding $2.5 billion, NSI's maiden fund backed health-focused insurance brokerage CXA Group, online credit service FinAccel and restaurant reservation startup Chope among others in Southeast Asia.
The plan is to continue the same investment thesis in fund two, which will mean a typical check size of $3 million to $5 million for Series A deals onwards with a focus on Southeast Asian startups operating marketplaces and/or the e-commerce space. This time around, the Singapore-based firm is also broadening out to target emerging verticals like fintech, health tech and education.
There has never been more venture capital in Southeast Asia, a region with more than 600 million consumers and more internet users than there are people in the U.S., but further progress is required.
A new report co-authored by Google that was released this week showed the region is making big strides to become a $200 billion per year 'internet economy' by 2025. The region's digital landscape is tipped to generate $50 billion this year, but one critical component to it hitting the lofty 2025 forecast is increased investment.
Some $12 billion has been put in the region's startups over the last two years, but three-quarters of that went to its billion-dollar companies, according to the report. Google and its research partner Temasek predict that as much as $37 billion more is needed for the digital economy to realize its full potential, and that capital will need to roll down beyond the biggest players to reach fledgling projects with bags of potential to grow.
The signs are certainly promising with investors from outside of the region paying more attention than ever before. Indeed, China's top two internet companies — Alibaba and Tencent — are already prowling Southeast Asia in search of out its most promising tech companies which can aid their expansion plans.
"Southeast Asian tech continues to be an opportunity that is gaining momentum amongst investors," NSI founding partner Hian Goh told TechCrunch.
"We are excited to have been able to get our global institutional investor base to participate in fund two in under five months," Goh, who sold his previous startup Asian Food Channel to listed U.S. TV network Scripps in 2013, added.
Beyond more money to work with, NSI is also moving deeper into core markets with the addition of new faces. Those include Nichapat Ark, formerly MD and executive committee member at Standard Chartered Bank, who becomes a special advisor based in Thailand, and ex-Sternbridge analyst Arum Kalbuadi who has joined its Indonesia team.
"We believe execution capabilities is key in supporting entrepreneurs, which is why we continue to expand the team to include Nichapat in Thailand as well as other operational partners in Singapore," Shane Chesson, the firm's other founding partner, told us.
