Hidden Nindies Vol. 2 - Night in the Woods, Bulb Boy, The Last Penelope, Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D
Welcome to Hidden Nindies, a new feature where we put the spotlight on some of the lesser known indie games on current Nintendo platforms! We don't have a strict line drawn for determining which games meet this criteria, but the spirit of the feature is to both expose Nintendo gamers to neat games that they may not have heard much about and to help indie game developers gain some attention for the quality games that they have built which may have fallen a bit under the radar on the Nintendo platforms (even if they were more successful elsewhere.) These are not reviews per se, and the writers may not even have finished the games, but something about them stood out enough to warrant a recommendation.
Developer/s: Infinite Fall
Nintendo Platform/s released on: Switch
Platform/s played on: Switch

Night in the Woods is a game about a punk rock cat who drops out of college and comes home just in time to experience weird David Lynch inspired happenings in her town. Does that get you excited? It got me excited! And I'm happy to say that the game delivers on that promise.
At its core Night in the Woods is inspired by "classic" adventure game, and the majority of the gameplay involves choosing which friends to spend time with (it would take multiple playthroughs to see the end of all of their stories), talking to various townspeople, and trying to solve the mysterious happenings around town. There are a few puzzles, some minor (but surprisingly solid, enough to make me want more) platforming and a Guitar Hero inspired rhythm game in there as well, but most of the game is running around town getting into antics and figuring out the mysteries.
The art is pretty amazing, the music is pretty awesome, the story is excellent (and timely), it controls very well, and overall it's just a great package. I know this isn't the most "hidden" Nindie out there, but it feels like it didn't get a whole lot of attention on the Switch, so I had to include it.
Developer/s: Bulbware

Bulb Boy is a strange beast. I don't mean the titular Bulb Boy, I mean the game. Well, actually, I mean him too. Everything about this game is strange. But it's strange in a good way, for the most part. On one hand it's a story about family. On the other hand it's a story about trying not to have your glow-in-the-dark head violently torn apart by a screaming poo monster. It's adorable and it's revolting and it's also really enjoyable.
At its core Bulb Boy is a point-and-click adventure, albeit more streamlined than other games in the genre. There is no real inventory management, practically no backtracking since the game's puzzles are pretty much self-contained, and it's also got a total lack of text and voice acting, apart from the occasional, unintelligible gibberish. Any hints or instructions you get will be presented to you via visual cues and icons popping up whenever needed, making the dreamlike (read: nightmarish) feel of the game even more pronounced. It also makes the game perfect for those who have trouble reading, like kids. Kids you want to scar for life by having them play Bulb Boy, because you're heartless and you hate kids.
The game can be fairly ambitious in its efforts to gross you out, but always does so in ways that are designed to make you smile rather than retch. Feeding slimy insects to a hungry spider or hiding from murderous enemies with their entrails dangling out of their butts is nasty business, but thanks to the picture book art style and the heartwarming plot it doesn't come off as cynical or contrived. Bulb Boy is just a nice if short little adventure game for those who want to try something a tad different and don't mind a bit of strangeness to go with it.
The Next Penelope
Developer/s: Aurélien REGARD / Seaven Studio
Anand! Paging Anand! Are you listening? You know how you always want more top-down Micro Machines type racing but no one does that anymore? Well here you go. Sort of.
The Next Penelope does indeed involve top-down racing, but that's just part of the package. Most of the worlds in the game follow the same basic formula, all using the top-down racing mechanics: 1. Complete a challenge (usually learning a new move in the process), 2. Win a race, 3. Fight a boss. It's a pretty nice mix of gameplay, although some of the bosses could have maybe used a little more polish.
Everything looks and feels nice, and my only real complaint is that it's a bit lite on content. There are only five or six worlds, I finished everything in a few hours and once you're done, there isn't really much else to do besides redoing a few high score stages and the likes. Still, there isn't much else out there like it, so it's worth checking out if top-down racing with a bunch of other stuff thrown in sounds like your thing.
Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D: Space Recipe For Disaster
Developer/s: Tanukii Studios Limited
Nintendo Platform/s released on: 3DS
Platform/s played on: 3DS
Back in 2011 Keith Webb and his Tanukii Studios released Go! Go! Kokopolo on DSiWare to an appreciative if not suitably enormous audience. Six long years had passed when a sequel was finally released on the 3DS eShop, and during that time the original had managed to go from being a favourite mainly amongst critics and a handful of fans to a bona fide sleeper hit. The long awaited second instalment features various enhancements such as better general gameplay balance and gorgeous sprite art in stereoscopic 3D, but still has its beloved trademark "chase 'em up" gameplay intact.
As feline antihero Kokopolo you rush through maze-like levels in search of docile creatures that you enrage by slapping their butts and then have them chase you around until you manage to trick them into getting eaten by a giant plant. It's essentially a high speed mix of Pac-Man, Benny Hill and Little Shop of Horrors. While simplistic on paper, the game does a great job of introducing new enemy types and obstacles pretty much all the way through, making sure that the near constant running never ends up feeling stale or repetitive.
Just like the classic arcade games it takes its inspiration from, Go! Go! Kokopolo is intuitive enough for absolute beginners with its simple premise and precise controls, but has enough depth and content to provide hours of entertainment for more experienced butt slappers. You get an 80 level story mode featuring several boss fights, three playable characters with their own respective campaigns and worlds, and an addictive time attack mode on top of that. It's a great value for its price, and a solid alternative to games like Pac-Man Championship Edition for those want something with a bit more traditional progression to it.

Did somebody say Micro Machines??! Hey, that's not Micro Machines!
I'll consider it, though... How's the multiplayer?
@Anand
It's a single-player game, as far as I know. (edit: woops!)
For multiplayer, there's that BAFL (Brakes are for Losers) game, although that looks more like Super Off Road than Micro Machines to me.
I honestly didn't know it had multiplayer, but I guess it does? We should find out how good it is at the next party! But I always say that! And then we play Buzz all night!
It feels to me like it's more a single player thing than multiplayer though. Like, there aren't even a ton of racing courses, since it is a short game and also has the challenges and boss fights.
I too enjoyed Night in the Woods.
The Next Penelope I was less keen on. The story feels so divorced from gameplay as to be completely forgettable, despite the goofy fun premise. And the gameplay is...just fine. I didn't find it a particularly compelling top-down racer, despite its front-and-center gimmicks. And yeah, it's short.
GO GO POKOFOBO looks fun, I don't think I'd ever seen it mentioned before.
"The Next Penelope" is one of the funniest game titles I've seen.
A Robot Named Fight is pretty fascinating. I have to play more to solidify my opinions, but, for now, it seems that the biggest question mark, the world generation, is very effective. It's not Super Metroid-level, but it seems to work. It's cool how the world is generated based around the specific power ups which populate each run. There are a nice variety of power ups, and more get added when you reach certain milestones. In an interesting modernization of an old school touch, speed and damage power ups are liberally hidden in walls and ceilings, but the map indicates their general location. (One general hint for new players: explore horizontally and upwards before exploring downwards.)
At this point, I have more issues with the actual feel of the game. It just doesn't feel super tight. And it's floatier than the original Metroid. Pulling off jumps can be done consistently, but it feels a bit off.
It's not horrible, but I hope that the developer keeps tweaking the game feel (if that's possible to do without breaking the level generation).
Permadeath really raises the stakes of a Metroidlike, but it doesn't feel fair when most of those deaths come from repeatedly stumbling over spikes. I'll keep playing, though. It's pretty addictive.
@Guillaume
Yeah, that game is eight players. But IGN gave it their skip of the week! On the other hand, who cares? There are actually a few top-down racers on Switch. Most of them look kind of low rent, though. And, yeah, more Ivan Stewart or Super Sprint.
@Zero
You should not be a salesman!
But my father was a salesman! It's in my blood!
Really though I'm not trying to sell games with this stuff per se, just sort of get the exposure out there. It's up to the consumer do decide whether they want to make a purchase or not.
After some fun runs, I'm a lot more positive on A Robot Named Fight. It felt much more responsive in docked mode. However, my last run seemed to end in ugly old-school glitches. However, I'm pretty sure that was actually caused by a new type of enemy...
These days, I'd only ever want to review a game that I felt positively about. Especially if it were under the radar.
I'm not saying I don't feel positively about these games! Just that I don't really try to convince people they need to buy things. It's more like this exists, decide on your own. Everyone's tastes are so different and with obscure indie games there isn't much I'd be like EVERYONE NEEDS TO PLAY THIS.
That's, like, half of my two-point scale! The other is NOBODY NEEDS TO PLAY THIS.

03/01/1997 - "Protection against global ischemia in the rabbit isolated heart 24 hours after transient adenosine A1 receptor activation."
04/01/1998 - "Pretreatment with either multiple episodes of ischemia or continuous infusion of a selective adenosine A1 receptor agonist, 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA), resulted in attenuation of the protective effects of preconditioning, implying downregulation of the receptors involved in triggering classic preconditioning. "
08/01/2008 - "These results indicate that D1R activation presynaptically depresses excitatory synaptic transmission in striatal neurons after ischemia through activation of PKA and adenosine A1 receptors and thus demonstrate a novel mechanism of D1R-mediated protection against ischemia."
01/01/2015 - "As the adenosine A1 receptor activation confers protection against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced ventricular arrhythmias, we hypothesized that CBD may have antiarrhythmic effect through the activation of adenosine A1 receptor. "
12/01/1998 - "Overexpressing the adenosine A1 receptor also led to increased protection against ischemia-induced myocyte injury as well as an enhanced preconditioning effect. "

04/01/2015 - "The adenosine A1 receptor agonist cyclopentyladenosine (CPA) increased the latency to reach the tonic-clonic seizure stage. "
4. Poisoning
01/01/2004 - "Pretreatment with the peripheral adenosine A1 receptor antagonist 8- p-sulphophenyltheophylline (8-PST, 20 mg/kg i.p.) counteracted the cardiodepressant effects of 0.05 mg/kg CPA almost completely, thereby nearly abolishing its therapeutic efficacy against sarin poisoning. "

07/01/2005 - "Efficacy of an adenosine A1 receptor agonist compared with atropine and pralidoxime in a rat model of organophosphate poisoning."
01/01/2006 - "We have demonstrated before that exposure of neuronal cultures to poisoning by iodoacetic acid (IAA) followed by "reperfusion" (IAA-R insult), results in severe cytotoxicity, which could be markedly attenuated by prior activation of the adenosine A1 receptors. "
01/01/2004 - "In conclusion, the present results strongly indicate that bradycardia and hypotension induced by the peripheral adenosine A1 receptor play a prominent role in the therapeutic efficacy of CPA in cases of sarin poisoning."
04/01/2013 - "Earlier studies have shown that activation of adenosine A1 receptors on peripheral pain fibers contributes to acupuncture-induced suppression of painful input. "

Andy Murray continues build-up to Australian Open with wild card into Sydney
Spain into ATP Cup final; Barty to face Swiatek in Adelaide; Nadal and Dimitrov closing on Melbourne final
By Marianne Bevis
Friday 7 January 2022, 21:43 UK

Great Britain may have been edged out of the ATP Cup at the last moment—their win over the USA was trumped by Canada's win over Germany—but there will be more British action in the city next week.
Andy Murray, who has been given a wild card into the Sydney Tennis Classic, a combined men's and women's event during the week before the Australian Open in Melbourne, will be joined by the star of the GB show, world No25 Dan Evans, in the ATP250 draw. Evans is scheduled to be the third seed behind by No18 Aslan Karatasev—who missed the ATP Cup after testing positive for Covid—and No22 Nikoloz Basilashvili.
Evans will come into the event on a high after winning all three of his singles matches plus both the doubles matches he played with Jamie Murray in the 16-team ATP Cup. What is more, it was in Sydney that Evans reached his first tour final in 2017, and he won his first ATP title this time last year in Melbourne.
Murray's preparation for the Major where he has five times been runner-up did not get off to an ideal start: He was beaten in his opener in Melbourne at the start of this week by No76 Facundo Bagnis.
But the Briton has a strong emotional tie to the Australian Open as he eyes his 14th appearance and his first since his tough opening-round loss to Roberto Bautista Agut three years ago. Back then, he hinted in a tear-stained press conference that it might be his last tournament, and went on to undergo what might have been career-ending hip surgery.
Yet he continues to have ambitions on the biggest stages, and that despite other injuries and coronavirus infection at the start of last year. He still went on to end 2021 with some hard-won matches against the likes of Ugo Umbert, Frances Tiafoe—one of the matches of the year comprising three tie-breaks and three and three-quarter hours—Hubert Hurkacz, and Jannik Sinner.
Sydney will first host the final the ATP Cup come Sunday, with Russia and Canada scheduled to contest the second semi-final Saturday. Already, the always-strong Spanish team has ensured its place in the final with yet another pair of impressive singles performances from Bautista Agut—over Hurkacz—and Pablo Carreno Busta.
But then Sydney gives way to the one-off Tennis Classic, and not just the ATP250 but also and a high-quality women's WTA500 tournament that features 19 of the world's top 30, including world No1 Ash Barty, No3 Garbine Muguruza, No5 Barbora Krejcikova, former world No1 Simona Halep, Roland Garros 2020 champion Iga Swiatek, Australian Open 2020 champion Sofia Kenin, and reigning US Open women's champion and runner-up, Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez.
The women's event follows hot on the heels of another 500 in Adelaide that has boasted eight seeds all ranked in the top 15, including world Nos1 and 2, Barty and Aryna Sabalenka. The darling of Australia, Barty, has reached the semis in her first event since the US Open: It seems that, with now more than 100 weeks as No1, she has picked up where she left off.
In 2021, the popular Aussie began with victory at the Yarra Valley Classic in Melbourne, made the semis of her home Major, won the prestigious Miami 1000, Cincinnati 1000, and Stuttgart, and made the final of the Madrid 1000. She also won Wimbledon.
If she is to win her second Adelaide title, she must beat defending champion Swiatek. The two Major champions have met only once before, with the win going to Barty in Madrid last May.
In Melbourne, Rafael Nadal's return to competition for the first time in five months has been uneventful: After an opening straight-sets win against Ricardas Berankis, the Spaniard received a walkover that propelled him straight into the semis. There he will play the 22-year-old Finn, Emil Ruusuvuori, for the first time.
In the other semi, Grigor Dimitrov has faced harder progress with a second win from a break down, this time saving two match points and a 2-5 deficit in the deciding set against Having run through the second set, third seed Dimitrov fell to 2-5 in the decider against Botic van de Zandschulp.
Dimitrov now faces the 112-ranked American qualifier Maxime Cressy for the first time for a chance to tackle Nadal in the title match—where he will face a 14-1 deficit in previous contests.

as already written elsewhere, the battery of my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 deflates despite connected charging cable, especially in cold weather. My idea to save power is that the app turns off the display while driving and automatically turns on again just before the next turn (or instruction). This could be offered as an option.
Hallo, wie an anderer Stelle schon geschrieben, entleert sich der Akku meines Samsung Galaxy Note 4 trotz angeschlossenem Ladekabel, vor allem bei Kälte. Meine Idee zum Strom sparen ist, dass die app das Display während des Fahrens abschaltet und kurz vor der nächsten Abzweigung (bzw. Anweisung) automatisch wieder einschaltet. Dies könnte als Option angeboten werden.
It's in our plans to offer such functionality.
Android is strict in screen on/off and permissions, so need a careful procedure.
Hatte auch ein Note 4, und da hat sich der Akku nicht "entleert" (höchste Helligkeitsstufe, Diplay immer an, und Bluetooth zum Helm an).
@Georg_Klinge most smartphones shouldn't discharged when connected to 2A (some tablets might, but smartphones should be alright). Have you tried apps like this one to check how much power your charger is delivering to your smartphone? If this is somewhere in the 1A area, this might not be enough and you should either try a different cable or charger.
I checked it with Ampère. Without charging the smartphone is dircharging with -500 to -900 mA. While charging on the bike, it is charging with 50 mA to 800 mA (with activated kurviger-app and GPS). That's okay for me. I don't know why there was sometimes a discharging while charging.
Thanks for letting us know. It's great to hear that you issues seems to be resolved . Please don't hesitate if anything comes up again.
Naavigationsapps ziehen mehr Stom als die andern genannten Anwendungen. Vor allem wenn der Bildschirm an ist. 1A ist für die heutigen Smartphones zu wenig. Die Stromabgabe sollte min. 2A haben. Zudem sollte es auch ein "hochwertiges" Ladekabel sein das die 2A durchlässt.


The propositions appearing on this November's ballot can be confusing if you don't study the text of each one. I've done the legwork on these, and will outline the pro-freedom position on each one.
This measure prevents the legislature from enacting a real-estate transfer tax. A real-estate transfer tax, something which currently does not exist in Arizona (but is being proposed in Tucson) would require that the seller of their home pay a tax at the time of the sale. While I obviously wouldn't support a new tax of any type, one such as this comes at a particularly bad time. When the real-estate market is slow, the last thing we need to do is put additional burden on those trying to sell their homes.
With all the talk about "universal" health care, and single-payer systems, this initiative couldn't come at a better time. Prop 101 will ensure that Arizonans will always have a choice on where to secure their health care needs so that any proposed single-payer system (one that would prevent consumer choice, by law) would not be enforceable.
The name is fancy, but what it essentially does is modify the state constitution to define "marriage" as between one man and one woman, effectively outlawing relationships that don't fit into this guideline (i.e. preventing the existence of gay marriage). Marriage is a private act between consenting adults and ideally should have no involvement whatsoever from government.
This proposition would require that any future ballot initiatives require a majority of eligible electors (not just those voting) to pass the initiative if it would require a tax increase. The plain benefit here is that it will be more difficult for special interests to use ballot initiatives as their personal ATMs.
This is a tough one if you understand the history behind it. The Stop Payday Loans Initiative was introduced earlier this year, which would have abolished all payday loans in Arizona. So the Payday Loan Reform Act was introduced by the payday loan industry as a compromise to appease the former group and to be able to challenge their claims. However, the Stop Payday Loans Initiative didn't collect enough signatures to make it to the ballot. So now we're left with a single initiative that would restrict the payday loan industry, which the industry itself introduced. I oppose this initiative because it's a restraint on an industry that exists and operates only because of the voluntary use of that business by it's customers.
It seems everything is being called a "bill of rights" these days, especially things that benefits one group at the expense of another. This initiative specifically puts a burden on home-builders requiring that they provide services that their customers aren't demanding. Naturally, this is going to increase the cost of new homes, even for those who have no interest in receiving the supposed benefit that this initiative provides.
Immigration has become a big issue among voters, and especially so in Arizona being that we're a border state. This country was built on immigrants that wanted to come here and were hard-working. I find it difficult to believe that we're now wanting to turn those same hard-working individuals away. Understandably, many immigrants enter into our country without going throught he proper process, primarily because the process is extremely time-consuming and costly. The correct solution is to simplify the process so that others who want to work and contribute to our society can do so within days or maybe weeks, but not years or decades. And certainly the solution is not to attack the employers, those that provide jobs for both American citizens as well as hard-working immigrants.
This would increase Arizona state legislator salaries from $24,000 annually to $30,000. The legislator has created a budget that puts us in the red $1.7 billion dollars. Do I really need to explain why we shouldn't be giving them a raise?


Presenting a list of the best cheapest laptops for students, is the objective of writing this Techspirited article. Check out the best laptops in the low price category available in the market right now.
Who doesn't need a laptop computer these days? It's an essential purchase for any student, who has loads of assignments and presentations to deal with over the course of a year. However, these gadgets don't come cheap and for a student on a limited budget, buying one can put a lot of strain on his finances. Recognizing this student need, manufacturers have come up with many low cost laptop configurations, with price tags which make them affordable. In this Techspirited article, you will not only find a listing of the cheapest laptops for students, but also some tips to shrewdly find the best and cheapest laptop deals.
The adjective 'cheapest' is a relative term. You shouldn't just consider the price tag on the laptop, but also consider the value you get for your money. So, before I present you with the best cheapest laptop deals for students, I will talk about how to choose a laptop with basic configurations that offer decent performance. Go for dual core processors like the Intel Core 2 Duo or Intel core i3 and settle for nothing less than at least 2 GB of RAM capacity. See to it that the laptop you choose has at least 250 GB of space and 13 to 14 inch of LCD screen size. Go for products offered by the best brands like Dell, HP and Toshiba.
How to Find Inexpensive Laptops?
There are many ways in which you can corner the sweetest and cheapest laptop deals. One way is to go to retail stores who sell these gadgets at a wholesale price. Search online stores like Amazon for a range of cheap laptop deals offered. The prime advantage of shopping in such places is the substantial discount offered on best laptop configurations.
Take advantage of the seasonal sales discounts offered by major retailers. One option that very few students opt for, is going for refurbished laptops. Refurbished Macs are sold by Apple store, with manufacturer warranty and can be bought at substantially low prices. The last option is of course to go for used laptops, but let it be the last alternative on your priority list.
After that brief exposition on the art of landing up with the cheapest laptop deals, here are some actual laptop deals available in the market right now, with good overall configurations offered at a reasonable price. All the prices quoted against the laptop models are from Amazon, the online electronics retail giant.
Make it a point not to settle for laptops with substandard configurations that are sold dirt cheap. They may cost very less, but you will also have to settle for lousy performance. You always have the option of going for netbooks, which also offer great performance, along with high battery life. Another suggested option is to go for refurbished laptops sold directly by manufacturers like Dell, at bargain prices. Scan thoroughly on the Internet and check out the various deals offered. You are bound to land up with one that exactly suits your budget and offers all the features you are looking for.

Studuj se zakladatelem stylu EthnoFlamenco (persko-španělská fúze) přímo v centru Prahy.
Lekce jsou vhodné i pro začátečníky a mírně pokročilé (základní techniky a rytmus).
We are delighted to announce the international release of "Let Me Die", both as single and videoclip. The song has been composed by Shahab Tolouie at the beginning of 2017. The lyrics is a beautiful ghazal by the prominent Iranian contemporary poet, lyricist and activist, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature, the late Simin Behbahani, whose birthday is on July 19th.
This is not the first time Shahab chooses ghazal to blend in with his distinguish Persian-flamenco fusion. He has already shown his capacity of organically connecting this important Iranian form of poetry from such musters as Hafez Shirazi and Moulana Rumi into his music style.
This time a more contemporary form of ghazal by Mrs. Behbahani inspired a new compositional experiments, where music is based on 7/8 guitar and bass groove with very distinctive short strokes to accentuate the start/stops which occasionally switches to 4/4 with the same tone for the singing part.
One of the earliest reviews says: "Shahab once again put his music to the brink of danger to create a moment in art to remember" — Mohammad Zarghami, journalist at Radio Farda.
Shahab has composed the music, sang the lead vocal and played on triple-neck guitar, 12 string guitar and drums.
The song features well known Iranian musician Habib Meftah Boushehri on — percussions and back vocals, as well as the band members: Tomáš Vychytil on electric guitar, Gavrilo Aleksič on electric bass and Tokhi on percussions. All the band members took part also in the videoclip.
Jully 19th, tir 28th by Persian calendar, is set as the release date for Shahab's new song "Let Me Die" that was composed at the beginning of this year and performed live for the first time at Nowruz 2017 celebration concert in Prague.
the track features the well known Iranian percussionist Habib Meftah Boushehri on percussions and back vocal, as well as the band members. the videoclip has been shot in Prague.

You might not think of using a credit card as borrowing. But as soon as you make a purchase with it, you have spent money that you must repay to the lender — usually a bank or credit union — that issued the card.
And chances are the lender is going to charge interest if you pay off your purchases over time.
That's why it's best to use credit cards only when there's a good reason, like when you can't use cash. For example, you often need to use a credit or debit card when you buy something online.
Probably the only good reason to use a credit card is to build a strong credit history.
If you don't have a credit card, what about a rent-to-own store? Before you go down this road, it's a good idea to compare the total you'll pay in weekly installments during the agreement with the actual cost of the item you want to buy. You often end up paying between two or three times the original cost. So, rent-to-own usually isn't the right decision.

Dion Fortune
Term: Dion Fortune
Pen name of Violet Mary Firth (1890–1946) based on her family motto (which she used as a magical name) "Deo Non Fortuna," Latin for "God, not fate." She developed psychic abilities early in life, leading to a nervous breakdown. Upon her recover she became fascinated with the occult and the new studies in psychology, eventually becoming a lay psychotherapist. After studying Theosophy she eventually joined a branch of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
In order to increase membership, she formed the Fraternity (later changed to Society) of the Inner Light. It worked, but it brought her fame and the leader of the Golden Dawn supposedly didn't like that and ousted her. But her Society continued to grow and her books became famous.
There were three major trends in her writing. Traditional Western occultism and the Qabalah filled many of her non-fiction works. Her fiction works were focused more on Pagan traditions. Those associated with her Society are more focused around mystical Christianity with a focus on King Arthur and Merlin. Her famous books include The Mystical Qabalah, Sane Occultism, Moon Magic, The Sea Priestess, and Avalon of the Heart.
She respected and corresponded with Aleister Crowley, was responsible for Israel Regardie getting initiated into the Golden Dawn, and claimed to have been involved in what was known as the "Magical Battle of Britain" where occultists used magick to prevent a German invasion of England during WWII. It is known that Hitler intended to invade England, but for some reason (about which there is much speculation) he called it off.

Instead of rowing in the national championships this year, the Bulldog heavyweight men's crew stayed home to concentrate on the 144th Harvard-Yale regatta. But the Crimson has long dominated this annual race, winning in 22 of the last 25 years, and on June 13, the Harvard varsity heavyweights won by almost 20 seconds. Harvard's junior varsity and freshman men's crews also won. (Women's crews don't compete at the regatta.)
Frank Keefe, the Robert J. H. Kiphuth Director of Swimming, will retire at the end of the 2009-10 season. Keefe, head coach of the Bulldog men since 1978 and the women since 1980, has, to date, guided his teams to 473 wins and several Ivy championships. Elected to the American Swimming Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2005, Keefe has also helped coach the U.S. Olympic teams.
Ten Yale varsity athletes won All-Ivy academic status this spring. Most All-Ivy recognitions are for athletic performance, but the league honors varsity starters with a grade point average of 3.0 or better as All-Ivy academics. The players are Ben Wescoe '10 (golf) and nine '09 grads: Jeff Dawson (tennis), Megan Enyeart (softball), Will Gano (lacrosse), Christine Glandorf (crew), Brandon Josselyn (baseball), Janet Kim (golf), Mikkel Krenchel (crew), Natasha Spackey (golf), and Jenn Warden (lacrosse).
In May, Yale crew alumni joined teams from seven other universities for a regatta in Chengdu, China. China's Tsinghua and New Zealand's Otago universities won races, but in a talent show beforehand, a solo performance of "Bright College Years" by Whiffenpoof David MacIntosh '06 was named best song.

Q: appending element contents with the contents of a descendant elements sibling with jquery I have the following html...

            first section header
            first section aside

            second section header
            second section aside

Using jQuery I want to append all the .content divs with the contents of their descendant sections .clip div.
forming this...

            first section header
            first section aside

                first section header
                first section aside

                first section header
                first section aside

            second section header
            second section aside

                second section header
                second section aside

                second section header
                second section aside

currently I have this for the jquery
$(document).ready(function () {
    $(".content").prepend($(".content").parentsUntil("section").siblings("div").html());
});

which only selects the documents first .clip divs contents. How do I form the selector/jquery line to use the proper .clip divs for each .content div?

A: You can use each to loop through the clips, and then duplicate their HTML into all content elements within the same `section:
$(".clip").each(function() {
  var $this = $(this);
  $this.closest("section").find(".content").append($this.html());
});

Live example:

$(".clip").each(function() {
  var $this = $(this);
  $this.closest("section").find(".content").append($this.html());
});

            first section header
            first section aside

            second section header
            second section aside

A: Try this:
$('section').each(function() { // Loop through each section
    var content = $(this).find('.clip').html(); // Get the inner html of .clip div inside this
    $(this).find('.content').prepend(content); // Add the contents for each .content div found inside this section
}

It will also work if you change your entire html markup, as soon as you leave the class names unchanged....

A: You could use callback to .html() to append inner Html of .clip and get it by using closest().
$(document).ready(function () {
    $(".content").html(function(){
        return $(this).closest('section').find('.clip').html()
    });
});

The company will pay its income taxes in accordance with the underlying tax rate, with no tax planning. Income taxes consist of direct taxes and the change in deferred tax: EUR -25.8 (-30.8) million and EUR -9.4 (5.0) million respectively. Fingrid's effective tax rate is essentially comparable to Finland's corporate tax rate (20% in 2016 and 2015). The only difference between the Finnish corporate tax rate and Fingrid's effective tax rate is due to a minor amount of non-deductible items, amounting in 2016 to EUR 0.4 (-0.1) million. The table below illustrates the development of Fingrid's effective tax rate. The impact of a change in the tax rate has been eliminated over the year in the 2013 figures.
Taxes presented in the consolidated income statement include the Group companies' accrual taxes for the profit of the financial year, tax adjustments from previous financial years and changes in deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recorded in accordance with Finland's statutory corporate tax rate of 20%. Taxes are recognised in the income statement unless they are linked with other comprehensive income, in which case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income. Such items in the Group consist solely of available-for-sale investments, since hedge accounting for electricity derivatives was discontinued in 2014.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on all temporary differences between the tax values of asset and liability items and their carrying amounts using the liability method. Deferred tax is recognised using tax rates valid up until the closing date. The deferred tax liabilities arising from the original recognition of goodwill will not be recognised, however. Deferred tax liabilities will also not be recognised if they are caused by the original recognition of the asset or liability and the item is not related to a merger and the transaction will not affect the accounting totals or the taxable revenue during its implementation. The deferred tax assets are shown as non-current receivables and deferred tax liabilities correspondingly as non-current liabilities.
The largest temporary differences result from the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and from financial instruments. No deferred tax is recognised on the undistributed profits of the foreign associated company, because receiving the dividend does not cause a tax impact by virtue of a Nordic tax agreement. The deferred tax asset from temporary differences is recognised up to an amount which can likely be utilised against future taxable income.

But you can do something against it - wait. Basically a double-spend in 2 concurrent latest blocks is doable. N blocks down significantly harder. So the more valuable the transaction, the longer you want to wait to make sure it's not going to be a double-spend.
tuxxy on Sept 24, 2020 [–]
Additionally, we can also detect deep double-spends very easily!
When a double-spend occurs, usually it's from a deep chain reorg. This is what people usually refer to as a double-spend attack, not the kind of reorg where it only affects a few of the top blocks (which isn't uncommon). The latter occur relatively frequently due to the nature of Proof-of-Work being essentially a race.
Consensus mechanisms can detect when a sudden "deep" reorg occurs, e.g. a sudden reorg of 200 blocks that we didn't previously expect to be reordered. When this happens, it's relatively safe to say that this is a double-spend attack and we can disregard the attacker's chain. There's variations of this that additionally add things like "checkpointing" wherein reorgs beyond a certain block depth (the "checkpoint") are impossible at the consensus level.
There's a lot to critique about blockchain tech, but miner centralization is a relatively dated concern. Yes, it's a concern for many blockchains, but for the major Proof-of-Work chains (Bitcoin, Ethereum), it's not an issue anymore.


Citation: RACHAEL NICOLE TAN (2017). CORRELATION AND IMPACTS OF THE EL NIÑOSOUTHERN OSCILLATION (ENSO) IN SOUTHEAST ASIAN CAPITAL CITIES. ScholarBank@NUS Repository.
Abstract: Southeast Asia is a region highly vulnerable to climate variability like the El- Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Being able to understand the relationship between this phenomenon with temperature and precipitation will become increasingly important as climate change may increase the frequency of extreme ENSO events. As such, this thesis investigates the correlation between ENSO with temperature and precipitation in Bandar Seri Begawan, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. The impacts of ENSO were also studied across these cities to compare how impacts differed spatially using the Factiva news database, and if the impacts and correlations visible temporal lags. For correlations, results showed that most cities had positive correlations between the Niño 3.4 index and temperatures that lagged three months behind. Correlations between the multivariate ENSO index and temperatures were much weaker, suggesting longer time lags were needed. In general, correlations with precipitation were more inconsistent, likely because of different seasonal patterns. However, La Niña conditions did result in heavier rainfall and flooding in the lower equatorial cities of Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Bandar Seri Begawan. The Factiva search for ENSO impacts revealed that El Niño-related impacts are much more prevalent and visible than La Niñarelated impacts. These are likely because droughts, associated with El Niño, produce more prominent secondary impacts like the haze, have a more large-scale effect and are generally harder to mitigate than La Niña-related floods.


INDIANAPOLIS — We're in the meat of the NFL combine, with player workouts and interviews underway as the draft picture begins to take shape. I'll get to a few of the newsy nuggets delivered on the final day of media availability for head coaches and executives, but first, a behind-the-scenes fight that could shape the NFL agent business for years to come.
This fall and winter, several agents felt the industry was reaching a tipping point in regard to player fees. The one-time industry standard of 3% slipped to 1.5% in August when the NFLPA changed the default language on the Standard Representation Agreement (SRA).
Meanwhile, a minority of the largest agencies, including CAA, have recently made a practice of offering a sliding percentage scale to its newest clients, with a 1% fee should a player be chosen in the first round, according to agency sources. Smaller agents have since struggled to compete with the giants of the industry, leading veteran agents Vann McElroy, Pat Dye Jr. and Peter Schaffer to seek the creation of an association of like-minded agents to fight the new normal.
McElroy and others fear that larger agencies will acquire talent in bulk, wholesaling their services and maximizing their profits with clients who live up to expectations and discarding those who don't.
Hesitation among agents being recruited to the new association is vast and multi-faceted. Some fear the association would ultimately hold little influence. Others fear the NFLPA will simply find ways to decertify those who participate, leaving their careers in ruin while other agents poach their clients. Still others have expressed concern about the credentials of the most vocal members of the association effort.
• GAROPPOLO AND THE QB DOMINOES: How the Patriots' (stated) desire to keep their back-up QB will affect the rest of the quarterback market as needy teams begin to assess their options.
49ers GM John Lynch had nothing but praise for one of the top QB prospects.
What's Lynch looking for in a quarterback? He said a big source of inspiration and knowledge in his post-football career has been the production meetings he conducted with coaches and players while serving as a color commentator on Fox.
• Raiders coach Jack Del Rio spoke at length on Thursday about how he would have liked the team to bounce back from the loss of quarterback Derek Carr, who suffered a season-ending leg injury on the eve of the playoffs, effectively ending Oakland's resurgent 2016 campaign.
"Regardless, if you lose your quarterback, to me there is still a way to get it done," he said. "It just became a lot harder, but there is still a way. There was no concession and there never will be. Our approach is always: next man up and let's go compete.
Del Rio said that sentiment will be an emphasis when the team reconvenes, but he admitted that the importance of the quarterback position, and the limits imposed by the new collective bargaining agreement on practice time and team contact in the offseason, makes preparing a viable backup one of the tallest tasks in the league today.
Del Rio is not optimistic that a developmental league to replace NFL Europe, which folded in 2007, would ameliorate the effects of the bargaining agreement ratified in 2011.
• What happened to Cam Newton? It's one of the biggest questions Ron Rivera has faced this offseason following a lackluster 2016 for the then-reigning MVP. Rivera has chosen to retain his offensive staff, led by coordinator Mike Shula, and simply tweak the approach, preferring to maintain continuity rather than start over with a new group.
The coach discussed the goal of Newton running the football less next year after the quarterback struggled through a shoulder injury and a concussion suffered in October. And Rivera fully expects Newton to revolt against the idea.
"I promise you that's going to happen," Rivera said. "He wants the football, but we have to be very dogged in terms of what we're going to do with him and how we're going to do it. We have to pick and choose. It's got to be the right situation and circumstances.
• DAVID NJOKU AND THE COMBINE HEADLINERS: The high-jump national champ turned tight end can solidify his first-round status in Indianapolis. Plus, a handful of small-school stars to watch and everything else to know heading into combine week.
Quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends will be made available to the media on Friday, which means Deshaun Watson, Mitch Trubisky and Kizer will face the assembled NFL media for the first time.

Biografia
Laureato in lettere e filosofia, fu professore di italiano e latino nei licei. Durante la Seconda guerra mondiale collaborò con il Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale, che lo nominò, dopo la Liberazione, membro della prima giunta comunale di Guastalla.

Si iscrisse, sempre nel 1945, al PSIUP (Partito Socialista Italiano di Unità Proletaria) e alle prime elezioni amministrative, nel 1946, diventò assessore all'Istruzione del comune di Guastalla, segretario della sezione del PSIUP di Guastalla e membro del consiglio di amministrazione della Società Veneta della Ferrovia Parma-Guastalla.

Partecipò alla scissione del PSIUP a Palazzo Barberini, nel 1947, durante la quale sostenne la posizione autonomista di Alberto Simonini e Giuseppe Saragat, sfociata nella fondazione del PSLI (Partito Socialista dei Lavoratori Italiani) da una parte, mentre il PSIUP riprese la denominazione di Partito Socialista Italiano (PSI). Nel 1951 il PSLI e il Partito Socialista Unitario (PSU) si fonderanno in un unico soggetto politico che, nel 1952, assumerà la denominazione di Partito Socialista Democratico Italiano (PSDI).

Zárubek je železniční stanice, která se nachází u dolu Zárubek ve Slezské Ostravě. Leží na Báňské dráze, která je v současnosti (stav k roku 2021) ve správě společnosti PKP Cargo International (někdejší OKD, Doprava). Leží v km 4,550 Báňské dráhy mezi stanicemi Ostrava střed a Josefova jáma a vychází z ní trať do Nové hutě.

Historie
Stanice Zárubek byla vybudována na tzv. Báňské dráze, která byla v úseku mezi pozdější stanicí Ostrava střed a stanicí Michálkovice dána do provozu v roce 1863. Trať přes Zárubek až do stanice Salm byla později zdvoukolejněna, během druhé světové války byla dvoukolejka zřízena až do Josefovy jámy.

Po skončení 2. světové války byla Báňská dráha – a tedy i Zárubek – znárodněna a začleněna do podniku Ostravsko-karvinské kamenouhelné doly, tj. pozdější OKD. 1. ledna 1952 byla trať se stanicemi začleněna do nově vytvořeného národního podniku OKR-Doprava, ale provoz na Báňské dráze i v Zárubku zajišťovali zaměstnanci Československých státních drah. Až od 1. ledna 1989 převzali provoz v Zárubku dopravní zaměstnanci OKD, Dopravy.

V roce 1968 bylo v Zárubku aktivováno reléové zabezpečovací zařízení typu GS II 63 východoněmecké firmy VEB Werk für Signal- und Sicherungstechnik Berlin (WSSB). Po poklesu počtu vlaků byla Báňská dráha v 90. letech 20. století opět zjednokolejněna, ke zrušení druhé koleje mezi Zárubkem a Josefovou jámou došlo v roce 1999.

V roce 1988 bylo zřízeno propojení mezi Zárubkem a Novou hutí, které umožnilo jízdy vlaků mezi Báňskou dráhou a vlečkou Nové hutě mimo přetíženou veřejnou železniční síť.

Popis stanice
Stanice je mezilehlou na Báňské dráze mezi stanicemi Ostrava hlavní nádraží, obvod Ostrava střed a Josefova jáma. Odbočuje z ní trať do Nové hutě. Ve stanici se nachází opravna vozů. Ve stanici je k dispozici 11 dopravních kolejí a dále koleje manipulační. Provoz je řízen místně mistrem pomocí reléového zabezpečovacího zařízení WSSB GS II 63. Mistr ze Zárubku rovněž dálkově řídí provoz v sousední stanici Josefova jáma.

Uprostřed stanice v km 4,592 se nachází železniční přejezd ulice Podzámčí, který je vybaven světelným přejezdovým zabezpečovacím zařízením se závorami. Vjezdové návěstidlo L od Ostravy středu leží v km 3,622, na opačné straně stanice v km 6,066 se nachází ještě odbočná výhybka na kolejiště Jan Maria, vjezdové návěstidlo S od Josefovy jámy tak leží až v km 6,203. Ve směru od Nové hutě je vjezdové návěstidlo NS také značně vysunuto, leží až v km 6,937, před kolejovým rozvětvením ve stanici pak je ještě cestové návěstidlo Sc90 v km 5,097. Jízdy vlaků v přilehlých úsecích jsou zabezpečeny telefonickým dorozumíváním, s výjimkou úseku do Ostravy středu, kde funguje traťový souhlas se samočinnou kontrolou volnosti trati. V minulosti traťový souhlas fungoval i v úseku Zárubek – Josefova jáma. Zajímavostí je, že drážní vozidla mezi Ostravou středem a Zárubkem mohou jezdit nejen jako vlak, ale také jako posun.

Mazda's ALH or Adaptive LED Headlights technology was recognized by the Japan Machinery Federation (JMF) by bestowing it with the METI (Ministry or Economy, Trade, and Industry) Minister's Award.
The honor is given to companies, universities, research institutes, and R&D managers who are deemed to have "significantly contributed to the progress and development" to industrial technology through excellent research and development.
In the case of Mazda's ALH system, the JMF recognized the Hiroshima-based carmaker's efforts to democratize is headlight technology which is typically reserved only for luxury cars. In the case of Mazda, ALH is available on a vast majority of its vehicle line-up such as the Mazda6, MX-5, CX-5, and CX-9.
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) features LED array high-beam technology that splits the LEDs into independently controllable blocks. ALH uses a camera to detect oncoming and preceding vehicles, but instead of switching off the high beams entirely to avoid impairing other drivers' vision, ALH shuts off only the LEDs shining in their specific direction. So, the high beams remain on at all times, enhancing visibility and safety at night when most fatal traffic accidents occur.
ALH also comes with wide-distribution low beams, which add LEDs to the sides of the headlamps to shed light where conventional headlights do not. Highway mode, meanwhile, is another ALH feature that automatically adjusts the forward aim of the headlamps upwards when travelling at highway speeds to illuminate road signs and potential obstacles earlier.

AKA Leona Harriet Woods
Born: 9-Aug-1919
Birthplace: LaGrange, IL
Location of death: Santa Monica, CA
Cause of death: Cancer - unspecified
Occupation: Physicist
Executive summary: Physicist at University of Chicago
American physicist Leona Woods (sometimes cited as Leona Marshall or Leona Libby) graduated from high school at 14 and earned her degree in physics from the University of Chicago when she was 18. She studied under Enrico Fermi and Robert S. Mulliken, and was the only woman among the fifty members of Fermi's "Pile One" team that built the world's first artificial nuclear reactor. She was the most accomplished scientist among the handful of women who worked on the Manhattan Project, selected due to her expertise in the physics and mechanisms necessary for creating vacuums needed for boron trifluoride counters, which in turn are necessary for measuring neutrons and creating a nuclear chain reaction. She oversaw design and construction of the project's neutron detectors, and was present for the first nuclear chain reaction on 2 December 1942 at the University of Chicago.
In her long career she studied climatology, diatomic molecular spectroscopy, fundamental particle physics, the general structure and evolution of the universe, quantum chemistry, and quasars. She was an outspoken advocate of nuclear power, and maintained that its safety was supported by the birth of her two healthy children from pregnancies while she was working intimately with nuclear reactors. Her first husband, physicist John Marshall Jr, was a physicist at the University of Chicago and a great-great-great-grandson of US Supreme Court Justice John Marshall. Her second husband, Willard F. Libby, won the Nobel Prize in 1960 for his development of the carbon-14 dating technique.

Justin Bieber: L.A. Sheriff Recommends Felony Charges in Egg-Throwing Case
The vandalism investigation is now in the hands of the District Attorney's office to be considered for felony prosecution, the sheriff's office confirmed to THR.

Still dealing with the fallout from his recent DUI, Justin Bieber's prior bad behavior could have very serious legal repercussions.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has recommended that felony charges be pursued in the investigation into allegations that he threw eggs at a neighbor's home in his gated Calabasas, Calif., community.
STORY: Justin Bieber Accused of Egging Neighbor's Home
"Detectives from the Malibu Sheriff's station presented the vandalism investigation to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office [Thursday] for consideration for criminal filing," public information officer Nicole Nishida told The Hollywood Reporter.
"The District Attorney's office will review the case and decide whether to file the case as a felony or misdemeanor, or reject the case," she explained.
Having caused an estimated $20,000 in damage to the house, the incident was "deemed a felony because of the cost of the damage," added Nishida.
STORY: Justin Bieber's House Raided After Neighbor's House Is Egged
Bieber was initially named as a suspect in a misdemeanor vandalism and assault crime report for allegedly throwing eggs at the house, while his neighbor and neighbor's daughter were on the balcony reportedly videotaping the incident.
The singer is already scheduled to go to court in Miami Beach on March 3 to face charges of DUI, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license. Bieber's attorneys have filed a written plea of not guilty for the three misdemeanors, therefore canceling his arraignment date previously scheduled for Feb. 14. His sounding date is now set for Feb. 19.
Bieber's trial in Miami is set for just one week before his recently scheduled Toronto court date for an assault charge in which he allegedly struck a limousine driver on the back of the head several times on Dec. 30. He turned himself in to Toronto police last week.

Seed Cotton (SC) is designated as a covered commodity eligible for Title I ARC and PLC programs in the 2014 Farm Bill beginning with the 2018 crop year. Seed Cotton refers to unginned upland cotton that includes both lint and cottonseed.
Seed Cotton MYA Price is a weighted average of the upland cotton lint price and the cottonseed price.
Seed Cotton Payment Yield will be based on the upland cotton lint payment yield.
Payment = 0 if SC MYA Price > Reference Price.
Seed Cotton Base Acres will only be established through the conversion of generic base acres. Generic base acres are not in effect beginning with the 2018 crop.
For any farms with generic base and no covered commodities (including seed cotton) planted from 2009 through 2016, those generic base acres will become unassigned crop base and ineligible for ARC/PLC.
Option 2: All generic base converted proportionally based on 2009–12 average plantings of seed cotton and other covered commodities.
Farms failing to make the choice between Option 1 and Option 2 will be treated as if they chose Option 1.
2009-12 average planted cotton acres = 300.
A 1-Time ARC/PLC Election will be given to producers on a farm with seed cotton base. A farm failing to make a unanimous election between the two will be assumed to choose PLC for seed cotton.
The legislation does NOT create a non-recourse marketing assistance loan for seed cotton. The recourse loan for seed cotton established in 2014 Farm Bill remains in effect for the 2018 crop, but does not affect the ARC/PLC calculations.

A recent study reveals that different traumas experienced as a child can influence a person's personality and mental health issues as an adult.
Past studies confirm that traumatic events during childhood can gravely affect psychological development and cause adult onset psychiatric disorders, yet few have focused on the effects of specific types of childhood abuse. The observations made in a study published in Annals of General Psychiatry reveal that childhood physical, emotional, and sexual abuse dictate different adult interpersonal problems. Led by Hyu Jung Huh, a doctor at the College of Medicine at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, the study "provides preliminary evidence that childhood trauma has an adverse impact on interpersonal problems in adulthood."
Hyu studied 174 individuals diagnosed with depression and 151 diagnosed with anxiety disorders. These patients were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). After the recruitment process, participants completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). The CTQ is a 28-item self-report inventory that identifies the types of traumas experienced: emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as emotional and physical neglect.
The KIIP-SC is a 40-item self-report used to indicate which of the eight interpersonal behaviors one associates most with.
Patients with a history of physical abuse were more likely to be domineering, controlling, intrusive, and needy.
Patients who suffered emotional neglect were more likely to be domineering, controlling, nonassertive, overly accommodating, self-sacrificing, intrusive, and needy.
Patients who suffered sexual abuse were more likely to be domineering, controlling, overly accommodating, self-sacrificing, intrusive, and needy.
"Different types of childhood abuse and neglect appeared to influence specific symptom dimensions and interpersonal relationship in adulthood," concluded Hyu. Overall, Hyu found that patients with a history of physical or sexual abuse tended to grow up to be the more dominant person in their relationships. In terms of mental health, those with both emotional and physical trauma showed strong symptoms of depression, state anxiety, trait anxiety, and anxiety sensitivity.

The process of choosing a team dealer can be taxing for athletic directors. They have to weigh the concerns of administrators, coaches, players, and even parents, while also being mindful of budgetary constraints. Moreover, athletic directors need to be sure that they have chosen a reliable, high-quality team dealer that can deliver what they promise.
Here are five questions you should always ask any dealer you are considering before placing an order.
1. What are other people saying?
The world of customer and client reviews can be difficult to navigate and interpret. People generally don't choose to post a comment about a company unless they have an extremely positive or negative experience, creating a virtual game of tug of war in which the reader is pulled from both ends of the reaction spectrum and is left with an ambiguous perception of the company. Even if all of the comments have the same tone, a small sample size of opinions can be misleading. However, this doesn't mean that testimonials and reviews should be ignored altogether. Combing through review threads can lead to trend identification, or the detection of specific information about a company that appears in a number of reviews regardless of the tone of the comments. For example, athletic directors should be looking for comments that address a team dealer's ability to meet deadlines and complete orders accurately. If there are consistent opinions about these two areas, you can be confident you're making a good decision.
One of the main benefits of using a team dealer is receiving discounts on future purchases. Team dealers that don't offer discounts for certain purchase commitment levels should be avoided. The best team dealers have large on-hand inventories and can turn large orders around fast and pass on their own volume discounts to schools.
3. How big is the company? What's the scope of customer services?
The term "team dealer" is frequently thrown around these days and thus has a rather loose definition. Some "team dealers" are nothing more than corner-store sportswear retailers, while others are a full-service company with everything under one roof. This includes inventory, decorating services, customer service staff, and an operations team. These large-scale team dealers are often able to offer a superior service experience since they can track your order through every step of the process in-house.
4. How do they ensure accuracy?
Though their budgets ultimately guide their decisions, athletic directors need to ensure that they are receiving high-quality apparel for their teams. Consequently, they should always ask team dealers if they have a quality "checker" on staff to ensure that names, numbers, and sizes are correct. The design of jerseys and other gear should also be checked. No one wants a misspelled jersey when it's time for the big game. If there is no established checking procedure in place, avoid at all costs.
5. When things go wrong, how quickly can they be fixed?
All team dealers make mistakes, but the best ones are able to correct them before there is a real issue. A no-questions-asked return policy should be a part of any team dealer's package. Expedited shipping? That should be in there too.
By asking these questions and doing your research, you should be confident you are picking a quality team dealer and not wasting school funds on a mistake. For more information on what to look for in a team dealer, download our free guide below.


A little treat while the berries are in season! I have a basic muffin recipe that I alter slightly to make different flavors depending on what's in season. This weekend I made a batch of blackberry lemon.
The batter is really thick but makes a light tender muffin on the inside with a chewy texture on the outside. They come really close to the type of muffin you'd get in a bakery but surprisingly I've found that you don't need all the oil (and fat) those muffins have to make something just as delicious. You still need quite a bit of sugar (especially for these since the berries can be on the tart side even without the lemon). I usually make the big muffins- so the sugar in this works out to be about 2 tablespoons per muffin (not tooo terrible), less if you're using a fruit that's not so tart.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray your muffin pan with non-stick spray or use liners. I always make the big muffins (I love having something that feels like it's from a bakery) and this will make 6 (the perfect amount for us to not overdose on muffins all week). If you use regular muffin tins you'll get 12.
1 1/2 Cups of all purpose flour, plus one tablespoon (reserved).
Mix all the dry ingredients, reserving one tablespoon of flour. Add the wet ingredients. Mix just until they are combined- don't overwork the batter!
Reserve a few berries for the top of each muffin. Carefully coat the rest of the berries with the reserved flour. It's ok if you don't use all the flour or if you use a little more- you just want the fruit lightly coated, it helps to keep the heavy berries suspended in the batter instead of falling to the bottom.
Gently fold the berries and the zest from one lemon into the batter. Spoon an even amount into each muffin cup. Once all the batter is into each tin take 2-3 berries and sink them partially into the batter (this gives you muffins that look very pretty with fruit sticking out of the top).
Bake about 20 minutes (or until a skewer stuck into the center comes out clean. Turn halfway through baking so they brown evenly.
That would be fun! And the bonus of doing cupcakes and muffins is we'd have business for breakfast and lunch/dinner desserts.

What led you to Human Resources as a profession/How did you get into your current role?
My third case as a new attorney in 1994 was an employment case. From there, I was hooked. I truly enjoy working with HR professionals and teaming with them to find solutions and answers to the ever-expanding complexities of California and federal employment laws.
In your opinion, what is the future of HR? How do you see it changing over the next few years, especially in terms of HR innovation?
I believe that HR's role in organizations, big and small, will not only continue to grow, but that it must grow to keep pace with ever-changing laws and todays ever-changing work force. I think with technology; HR practices will become more efficient and effective.
What do you find is the greatest reward working in HR?
The greatest reward is working with HR professionals and building their trust to help them solve problems and navigate through the myriad of legal issues that they are confronted with on a daily basis, with the goal of avoiding litigation and economic liability.
What role has Next Concept HR Association played in your career?
Having been an active member for over 15 years, and speaking at various seminars, as well as planning and attending various networking events, NCHRA has played a tremendous role building my client base. Many of my clients are NCHRA members.
