Games of State
In the newly unified Germany, old horrors are reborn. It is the beginning of Chaos Days, a time when neo-Nazi groups gather to spread violence and resurrect dead dreams. But this year Germany isn't the only target. Plans are afoot to destabilize Europe and cause turmoil throughout the United States. Paul Hood and his team, already in Germany to buy technology for the new Regional Op-Center, become entangled in the crisis. They uncover a shocking force behind the chaos - a group that uses cutting-edge technology to promote hate and to influence world events.
Fast Paced and Authentic in the Clancey Tradition!

Acts of War
Kurdish terrorists have attacked a dam inside the borders of Turkey, threatening the water supply of their very homeland. It is not insanity, but the first step in a deceptively simple plan: force all-out war in the Middle East, drawing in the major players in the new world order. What the terrorists don't know is that a new Regional Op-Center is now on-line in Turkey. A mobile version of the permanent crisis-management facility, the ROC is a cutting-edge surveillance and information mecca.

The Op-Center team heads for Spain, where ethnic conflicts threaten to break out into a conflagration. As the novel's intelligence chief Bob Herbert puts it, this clash "will make the Spanish Civil War look like a brawl." The intelligence team's efforts to defuse the crisis are foiled when an Op-Center representative is assassinated in Madrid on her way to a high-level diplomatic meeting. Someone very powerful wants another Spanish War - no matter what the cost. Now the crew must delicately navigate the treacherous shoals of a planned insurrection by a popular Spanish general and his troops.

A terrorist bomb explodes during a South Korean celebration of the anniversary of the election of its first president. Alarms are raised in Washington. No one is claiming responsibility. The first suspect is North Korea. Could it be making a power play against South Korea and unification? If so, how will the U.S. respond? Paul Hood, Director of the Op-Center, must answer these questions. The Op-Center, a largely autonomous new agency which takes on the government's toughest security problems, is only six months old, and has never been given a foreign crisis until now.
Well written just not gripping for me.

State of Siege
Op-Center chief Paul Hood was going to retire. But that's about as likely as a gun shooting flowers. A bunch of rogue U.N. peacekeepers, or "Keepers," has decided to cross over to the wrong side of the law.

Demanding one hundred million dollars in ransom, the assassins take over the U.N. - where ambassadors from ten nations have gathered for a gala function at which Hood's daughter is going to perform. Hood is back in the saddle in a flash, with the full force of Op-Center at his command....

The Cold War is over, and chaos is setting in. The new President of Russia is trying to create a new democratic regime. But there are strong elements within the country that are trying to stop him: the ruthless Russian Mafia, the right-wing nationalists, and even revanchist Czarists. Op-Center, the newly founded but highly successful crisis management team, begins a race against the clock and against the hardliners. Its members face an uphill battle. Their task is made more difficult by the discovery of a Russian counterpart to Op-Center - but this one is controlled by the same repressive hardliners. Two rival Op-Centers, virtual mirrors of each other, exist. But if this mirror cracks, it will be much more than seven years bad luck.

not as good as the first much better than the Thir
the first book of option was better than this one but this one was better than the third was I had listen to before this one. the writing is bit better but the narration has done much better. unfortunately the writer goes Ad nauseam Way Beyond what Tom Clancy did and his first book Hunt for Red October. that book made some people I know not want to read another novel by Clancy I on the other hand, wanted more. ...
but not this much
Stunning & Moving. Kept Me on the Edge of My Chair
Best Op-Center story and rendering so far, and I love them all. Bravo! Well done!
tech has changed. stories get a fresh face...but my first time going through op Center series and great read/listen. clancy and friends were ahead of their time.
HÄGERSTEN, Sweden
A very "Cold War" tale
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend Opt Center 2 - Mirror image to all hard core Tom Clancy fans and the ones that liked the first book inte the serie. It's a well written story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Mirror Image?
The description of how to spy with the help of comics was interesting I was sorry when it turned for the worse
What three words best describe Michael Kramer's performance?
You need to get used to his way of reading. Everybody won't like his voice.
The story feels a bit dated. I hasn't aged with grace. As I'm living in sweden and have been to St. Petersberg i found the descriptions of the places more interesting then the story. It is not as good as the first one in the serie.
Marisia Robus
I LOVE Tom Clancy, he is my all time favourite author, but these authors are very, very, very bad. I cannot believe that the franchise can allow them to publish this dribble. There are interesting characters who if given to Mark Greaney would be a hit.
REALLY BAD and I will not be reading any of these

True Feelings Remembered
Rarely do I find things that give me reason to shed a tear, but this book made me remember what it's like to serve with people whom you never knew to become peers and partners you don't forget. To all who have served and lost a comrade, I salute you.
Harry Hodges
Starts out slow but is a good read/listen.
Narration is good, story drags initially Amhoping remainder of Ops Center books are a bit polished
Russian Mafia, Days of the Czar. Op Center
Would you consider the audio edition of Mirror Image to be better than the print version?
Neither is better than the other but I do believe the audio enhances the experience of reading the print version.
Which character – as performed by Michael Kramer – was your favorite?
Peggy the British spy was my favourite character. Who doesn't love a sexy British spy?
The moment that moved me the most was when Orlov put his life, the life of his son and wife on the line to do what was right, therefore saving countless lives and Russian democracy. (Although with that megalomaniac Putin leading Russia, in reality it is run like a dictatorship).
Sierra Vista, AZ, United States
Disapointing
What disappointed you about Mirror Image?
The story is tedious, and the performance reading the story is just awful.
If you've listened to books by the authors before, how does this one compare?
This is the first Tom Clancy novel I've quit on.
What didn't you like about Michael Kramer's performance?
His inflection is completely wrong.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I have loved Tom Clancy novels for years. This one is a huge disappointment.
Vern L. Pierce
Narrators voice irritating
This book wasn't for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
The narrators voice and cadence is so irritating I couldn't listen more than an hour. Tried going back several times to "tough it out" because he narrates most of the series- I can't do it. I may have to actually read the book.
Would you be willing to try another one of Michael Kramer's performances?

In a medium size bowl, mix the crust ingredients together. Coat an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking dish with cooking spray (I use a paper towel to wipe the bottom and sides with coconut oil). Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the dish.
Bake the crust for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a large pan, brown the ground sirloin, breaking it apart as you cook it. Once cooked through, remove from pan and set aside. Bring pan back up to medium heat and saute the diced onion in olive 1 tsp oil until translucent. Add garlic, green pepper, mushrooms, tomato, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. Cook for 10 minutes, or until veggies have softened and water has cooked off. Add the ground sirloin and tomato sauce, then stir to incorporate.
Taste and adjust salt if needed. Pour pie mixture evenly over crust. Cover with mozzarella, and bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly. Remove from oven, and let sit for a few minutes before serving. This allows the pie filling to set up, so that it doesn't spill all over your plate when served.


An open day at University of Huddersfield allows you to explore and find out more information about the university, and what to expect whilst you are studying there.
On open days there are lots of student ambassadors around the campus, wearing orange t-shirts, ask them anything from information about their studies to the nightlife in the Huddersfield.
After checking in at an open day you will be invited to attend talks and workshops in your chosen subject areas. There are also guided tours of the campus and accommodation, so you can see the marvelous facilities and living quarters the university has to offer.
Although you'll find lots of information about the University of Huddersfield on our website, there is nothing quite like a visit to the campus to get a feel for what studying with us is really like.
The Open Day will run from 9.30am - 3pm and is a great chance to tour the facilities, talk to academic staff and visit student accommodation.


So, I'm selling all of my stuff.
I'm a big fan of minimalism. Every so often I get the urge to drastically simplify my life. This time around I have a good reason. It's exciting. I don't need really anything I have. It's definitely nice to have nice stuff, but I don't need it. I'm excited to simplify.
There's a list of stuff I'm selling on Yardsale. If you're in San Francisco and want to buy something, hit me up on Yardsale. If you're not in San Francisco and want to buy something, hit me up via email.
If you've kept up with me at all the last couple of years, you already know what this post is about. April 5th will be my last day at Synthetic. It has been absolutely fantastic working here. I have had an amazing time with everyone. I got to be a part of some really great stuff in my time at Synthetic. Everyone I got the privilege of working with will definitely be missed.
I'll be dedicating all of my time now to some products I can't wait to show you. My goal is to stay on my own for as long as possible. Hopefully some of the products I'll be releasing will make enough money to pay my bills so I can continue to keep doing this.

SA vs India return Test match announced
April 27, 2017 southcapenetGarden Route News
CAPE TOWN, 27 April 27, 2017 – Such was the success of the inaugural Golf Test Series against India in December that a reverse fixture, to be played at the iconic Leopard Creek Country Club, has been arranged for later this year. [I'm expecting at least 4 S. Cape golfers to be picked for these 3 teams – Ed].
The participating teams from South Africa and the Indian Golf Union in the inaugural Golf Test Series at Royal Calcutta Golf Club in December 2016; credit GolfRSA
In last year's Golf Test Series, played at Royal Calcutta Golf Club, the visiting South African team of Senior (over 50) and Mid-Amateur (over 30) golfers ran out comfortable winners over their hosts.
The return fixture from 15 – 17 August will see Open Amateur and Junior (under 19) teams joining the Seniors and Mid-Amateur teams, meaning that each country will be represented by 16 players in this unique and exciting format.
"We are delighted to be able to return the favour and host our friends from the Indian Golf Union," explained GolfRSA CEO Grant Hepburn.
"It is a truly unique format and we are proud to be able to deliver on our vision for the Golf Test Series to expand to include all age groups.
"The relationship between GolfRSA and the Indian Golf Union continues to grow from strength to strength and we look forward to more fiercely contested matches and new friendships being forged.
"Being able to host our Indian friends at Leopard Creek, one of the world's top golf courses, will ensure that they will not only enjoy playing one of the country's premier golf courses, but they will be treated to an authentic bushveld experience too."
Indian Golf Union council member Dilip Thomas commented: "We are thrilled to play the full Test Match with all four teams this year.
"South Africa is a wonderful place to visit and we are excited to be strengthening our relationship with the country. To be playing the match at the extraordinary Leopard Creek is a special treat."
The four-man teams for each age group will be selected according to the South African Golf Association selection policy, which takes into account players' performance ranking, current form and team suitability. Team selections will finalised after 10 July 2017.

CALL TO OPPOSE EU BEEF TRADE PROPOSALS
I am calling for Ireland to oppose the European Union's proposed trade agreement with a bloc of South American countries because of its negative consequences for the Irish beef industry.
The so-called Mercosur proposals for trade with Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay include a provision to allow 99,000 tonnes of cheap beef from those countries into the EU each year.
These are not good proposals for the Irish beef industry.
Balanced international trade deals are important to Ireland as an open economy. However, particularly in light of the challenges presented by Brexit, it is regrettable that the proposals allow for the importation of beef into the EU at preferential tariff rates.
Irish beef farmers have embraced very high quality standards for rearing beef and have invested heavily in terms of compliance and traceability.
It is a major concern that any proposal to import beef from Mercosur would allow cheaper beef of lesser quality and less rigorous traceability to compete with Irish beef.
I am calling on the Government to ensure that every avenue for negotiation is explored and that every ally in Europe is secured to get these proposals changed.
I acknowledge the efforts to date by the Government to secure new markets for beef, including trade deals with Canada, Mexico and Japan.
However, the Mercosur proposals will be counter-productive and we need to oppose them in the strongest possible terms.
The proposals as set out were agreed by the current EU Commission in its last days of existence without the agreement of any member state or national parliament.
I believe these proposals now have to be considered in full at European level and in member states.

If a student/athlete experiences symptoms enough to affect his or her ability to concentrate or tolerate stimulation for even up to 30 minutes, the student should likely remain at home. The student may consider light mental activities, such as watching TV, light reading, and interaction with the family, until they provoke symptoms. Computer use, texting, and video games should remain at a minimum.
When the student/athlete is able to tolerate symptoms comfortably for up to 30 to 45 minutes, the parent may consider returning him or her back to learning, either through home tutoring or in-school instruction with programming adjustment as needed. However, it is the parent who should communicate with the school about the concussion and sign a release of information for school personnel to coordinate adjustments that may be needed as recommended by the primary care provider. The level of adjustments are decided collectively by the parent, school, and primary care provider based on severity, type, and duration of symptoms present.

Does Alcohol Weaken Your Immune System?
Posted by AT Mag Editorial Team | Jan 24, 2023 | Alcohol | 0 |
Heavy drinking, especially long-term heavy drinking, has seemingly endless adverse effects on your health. One is the complex damage it does to your immune system, the series of organs that work together to protect you from disease.
This article will explore the harmful mechanisms alcohol unleashes in our bodies. These mechanisms lead to immune system damage and diseases. Finally, we'll consider how much time it may take you to recover from alcohol abuse.
How Does Alcohol Affect The Immune System?
Our immune systems have two main components: the innate and the acquired.
We are born with the innate immune system, which acts as a general physical barrier to prevent harmful germs and parasites from entering the body. Its components are the eye's cornea, the skin, and the mucous membrane on the surface of our respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts.
The acquired immune system evolves throughout our lives and is specialized in specific threats. Exposure, vaccines, and immunizations train the acquired immune system to recognize and protect against diseases. Multiple organs comprise the developed immune system, including the bone marrow, the tonsils, and the spleen.
Alcohol weakens both components of the immune system, the innate and the acquired, in complex ways.
Regarding the innate immune system, heavy alcohol consumption causes microbes and microbial products from the gastrointestinal tract to leak into the liver. This leakage, in combination with the challenges alcohol poses for the liver, dysregulates its immune-related functions. Over time, this dysregulation could lead to liver disease.
There is, of course, much more to say about the disruptive mechanisms alcohol unleashes in the immune system. The point is that chronic heavy drinking leads to the deterioration of every organ in your body, including those that protect you from threats such as excess alcohol. A weakened immune system makes you much more vulnerable to all diseases.
Effects Of Alcohol On Your Immune System
The following are a series of specific adverse effects alcohol causes in your body, both short- and long-term.
Short-Term Effects
Gut inflammation and gut microorganism damage. Our gut's good health is essential for overall health.
Damage to the lungs' immune cells.
Disruption of physical barriers in the gut allows threats to pass through and affect us.
Decreases the intestines' capacity to absorb nutrients. Poor nutrient absorption may lead to poor overall health and increased vulnerability to illness or disease.
Long-Term Effects
Greater risk of suffering from pneumonia, acute respiratory stress syndromes (ARDS), sepsis, and alcoholic liver disease (ALD)
Incomplete recovery from infection and physical trauma, such as poor healing from wounds
Higher chance of suffering post-operative complications
Hepatitis C and B
Lung abscesses
Overall adverse effects on every organ of your body
How Long Does Your Immune System Need To Recover From Alcohol Abuse?
This is a complex question with a different answer for everyone. Everyone has a different body that reacts in various ways to toxins like those generated by chronic alcohol abuse so everyone will have a different timeline.
For a more specific answer, a study on alcoholic hepatitis may suggest that a year could be a reasonable timeline for some chronic heavy drinkers. The researchers monitored three groups of participants for up to 12 months. Patients with alcoholic hepatitis comprised the first group, heavy drinkers without liver disease comprised the second, and the last group was a healthy control group.
By monitoring biomarkers of inflammation and the ability to overcome infections, researchers found that alcohol abstinence reversed most, but not all, of the immunological abnormalities.
Remember that this study may not be the best comparison point, given that alcoholic hepatitis is relatively rare among heavy drinkers. However, 12 months of sobriety could be a reasonable timeline for recovering alcoholics to start seeing some improvement in their immune systems.
Alcohol Abuse Weakens Your Immune System
A growing body of evidence indicates that alcohol significantly suppresses every component of our immune system. Everything is affected, from our skin to the microscopic cells that hunt down and eliminate threats in our bodies.
Sobriety is the best medicine for the effects of chronic heavy drinking. Still, some recovering alcoholics may need more specific medical treatment for the effects alcohol has caused on their health.
If that's the case for you, speak to your doctors and explore available treatment options. The priority is getting healthy and setting the stage for long-term sobriety.

A Jefferson County jury found in favor of a Louisville woman who was sued after her vehicle rolled into a car in front of her at a stoplight. The man whom she ran into claimed the collision caused back pain which ultimately led to two disc surgeries. The defense, led by David Strite, successfully argued that the collision was too minor to cause the pain. Causation, it was argued, lay with a second, unrelated crash a month later, the patient's degenerative disc problems, or both.


Real temples to Shiva have remained in Hale bid for around a thousand years. Not at all like most other significant places of worship to Shiva, this one doesn't as a matter of course attach its history to a specific occasions in Hindu legend which is presumably why no real temples remained here until the Middle Ages. It's not by any means certain on the off chance that this was a noteworthy focal point of love before the temple was built.
Archaeological Museum – It is situated in the located greenhouse before the Hoysaleswara temple and displays a rich accumulation of Hoysala figures.
Kedareswara Temple – It was worked by Veerballala II and his more youthful ruler Abhinava Ketala Devi in 1319. The holy place was depicted as a "Pearl of Indian Architecture" by James Fergusson. According to Indian mythology it is said that building looks like heaven and made by souls.
The lower segment of the temple dividers stand complicatedly cut friezes delineating walking elephants, charging stallions, lions, legendary monsters, swans and creeper scroll works. The upper parts of the divider have around 160 pictures of different divine beings a goddesses set under luxurious curves. The plentifully cut entryways, roofs and columns inside the hallowed place are important.
Sri Ranganatha Temple – It reveres a glorious picture of Lord Ranganatha, leaning back on the loop of a serpent. Ruler Brahma is situated on the lotus rising up out of the navel of Lord Ranganatha and Aridevi serving him at his feet.
In the late spring season the best time is March, April and May as the temperature of this spot comes to up to 35 degree Celsius and falls up to least 24 degree Celsius. In the winter season this place is most appropriate for the months of December, January and February having temperatures least temperature 16 degree Celsius and greatest temperature 30 degree Celsius. Winter season is considered as the best season to visit this place and in addition this spot. Just the same, rainstorm season makes the air of humidity as there is awesome rain in this spot.
Temple Timings: there is no any closing issue, Temple remains opens in the time of 7.30AM to 7.30PM.
Air – Nearest airport is Mangalore and Bangalore, which is approx. 200km far away from this place. International cities are also covered by this place.
Rail – Nearest railways station is Hassan, from there this temple is only 25 km and it is also connected with major destination of Karnataka.

Ohio overdose death toll exceeds 5,000 in 2020
2021 looking grim, too
Ohio reached a sad milestone today: the official overdose death count for 2020 went above 5,000 today.
This death toll is a record for Ohio and the first time overdose deaths have exceeded 5,000 in one year. The final tally for 2020 will likely be about 5,100 when the Ohio Department of Health finalizes the mortality data for the year in September.
2021 — A Terrible Start
The Ohio Department of Health has already confirmed 345 overdose deaths — more than the 336 deaths that occurred in January 2020 — and many more deaths have yet to be reported.
Overall, it's too early to say for sure how things are going in 2021, but it appears another deadly year is underway.
Ohio counties with highest overdose death rates
Ohio's southern counties continue to have horrific overdose death tolls.
But Franklin County, ranked at No. 8, is where overdose death is exploding. The county, Ohio's most populous and home of Columbus, currently has recorded 797 deaths in 2020 and will exceed 800 deaths before the death files are closed. This level of death shatters the previous record of 598 overdose deaths in Cuyahoga County in 2017 and is far above Franklin County's previous record of 547 in 2019.
In 2017, the geographic center for overdose death was in Dayton. Since then, it's move eastward. The geographic center for overdose death is essentially located our state's capital.

The ceremony, held in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, recognizes men who prevent acts of violence by working to steer community youth away from high-risk activities.
"It brings men together who are working in the field of prevention," said Harold Blair, a member of the DELTA Committee Project, a Contra Costa County anti-violence initiative.
In Richmond alone, domestic violence-related 911 calls reached an all-time high in 2014: 620 were made that year, according to the most recent data available from California's Criminal Justice Statistics Center. Of those calls, 578 involved reports of a weapon.
At last week's event, Porter said that our culture's tendency to label men as strong and women as weak directly contributes to domestic violence.
Porter, who works as a consultant to the NFL, NBA, military and Law and Order, is most well- known for his 2010 Ted Talk, "A Call to Men," in which he argues that it's important for men not to "act like a man," because doing so can lead men to mistreat, abuse and disrespect women.
Twenty men were recognized in this year's ceremony, the largest since the awards began.
Recipients included RYSE Center Program Manager Joe Kim and RYSE Youth Justice Culture Builder Tyjohn Sykes, Concord Police Sergeant Mike Kindorf, and Antioch's Double Trouble Boxing Gym co-owners Daniel Castillo and Dario Castillo, Jr.
Twin brothers Daniel and Dario said the award was meaningful to them both.
Kim of the RYSE center said he owed his award to the kids he works with.
"I'm indebted to the young folks that I work with who show me every single day why it's so important that we as men, as adults, as allies—really need to step up in order to support what young people are experiencing in the city," said Kim.


The Harwell Dekatron computer is a 1950s computer having roughly the weight and size of a Hummer H3 and the computing power of a four-function pocket calculator. Having been restored to its original operating condition using 95 percent original parts, it is now the oldest functioning programmable digital computer in the world. Guinness might have been onto something, when, in 1973, they named the Dekatron the Most Durable Computer in the World.
The Harwell computer was built in the early 1950s for the UK Atomic Energy Research Establishment. Never intended to be a state-of-the-art general-purpose computer, the Harwell was developed to perform simple but repetitive calculations continuously and without error. Its computational rate is about 0.1 FLOPS, similar to that of a pocket calculator, but the computer operates for long periods of time without human intervention.
The computational needs of the Establishment soon outstripped the Harwell, and in 1957 Wolverhampton University was offered the machine to train students about computing. The Harwell was relaunched as the WITCH (Wolverhampton Instrument for Teaching Computing from Harwell), and helped a generation of students learn about computing. But by 1974, Wolverhampton decided that the WITCH was obsolete. They donated the computer to the Museum of Science and Industry in Birmingham, where it was on display until the museum closed in 1997.
Then, once again evading disposal, the computer was disassembled and stored in the Birmingham City Council Museums Collection Centre. Rediscovered quite by accident in 2008 by Kevin Murrell, a trustee of the National Museum of Computing, it was moved to its current home at that museum, where it's been restored to full functionality.
Conservationist Delwyn Holroyd led the restoration effort. He commented that the machine was "pretty dirty" when arrived at its new home. That's no idle complaint when one considers the logic operations of the Harwell are carried out by a circuit with 480 telephone exchange relays possessing over 7000 contacts, any of which can be disrupted by a speck of dust.
The operations of the arithmetic unit and the RAM storage (90 eight-digit plus sign decimal digits – about 340 bytes) of the Harwell are largely carried out by a set of 828 dekatron tubes. An additional double-length word is used as an accumulator in multiplication and division.
A dekatron was the simplest base-10 counter able to add and subtract while generating carry digits. Common dekatrons were based on decimal counting, and could switch reliably at speeds in excess of 10 kHz. Dekatrons are triggered to consecutively light a set of ten positions in a cold-cathode tube.
Input of programs and data are carried out by a pair of paper tape readers, and output is either through a printer or a paper tape punch.The paper tape readers of the day were rather rough on paper tape, so programs intended for multiple reuse had to be made of linen rather than paper.
Although the days of the Harwell computer as an active participant in science and engineering are long over, it stands as a rare and inspiring example of the enormous rate of change that characterizes our modern era.

Video Game Loot Boxes Similar to Gambling
FeaturedPsychology
Summary: Researchers say video games that offer loot boxes containing items to give players an advantage increase gambling and risk taking behaviors in adolescents.
Source: Massey University.
Adolescents playing video games that offer randomised rewards to increase competitive advantage could be being exposed to mechanisms that are psychologically similar to gambling, according to new research just published in Nature Human Behaviour.
The paper, Video game loot boxes are psychologically akin to gambling, was co-authored by Dr Aaron Drummond, from Massey's School of Psychology and Dr James Sauer, from the Department of Psychology at the University of Tasmania. Their work focussed on video games that offer purchasable randomised rewards, called 'loot boxes', and raises the question of whether such games should be regulated.
"Our analysis of the characteristics of loot boxes in 22 games rated by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) as appropriate for audiences 17 years old or younger reveals that loot boxes have important structural and psychological similarities with gambling," the authors say.
They found that nearly half (45 per cent) of the games they analysed met all five of the psychological criteria to be considered a form of gambling. They say that on face value, "loot boxes present a number of striking similarities to real-world gambling."
What is a loot box?
A 'loot box' is a catch-all term for a digital container of randomized rewards that alter the game in some way. "Rewards may allow players to personalise aspects of the in-game aesthetic (for example, alter their avatar's appearance) or improve in-game performance (for example, via powerful weapons)," the authors say. Possessing rare game rewards is therefore highly desirable – and of particular interest to the study's authors is the increasing trend "to allow players to purchase loot boxes using real- world currency."
"Players often purchase loot boxes for money and receive rewards of varying value based on chance. Thus, over multiple purchases, players will receive a high-value item on average every X number of times they open a box (where X represents a number of openings determined by a pre- defined algorithm).
Due to the random nature of rewards, the exact number of boxes that require purchase to obtain a valuable item varies. "This kind of reward structure is termed a variable ratio reinforcement schedule, and underpins many forms of gambling," the authors say. "The risk is that variable ratio reinforcement results in people quickly acquiring behaviours and repeating these behaviours frequently in the hopes of receiving a reward.
Game or gamble?
Whether loot boxes are a form of gambling present important ethical and regulatory implications, the authors say. "If loot boxes are akin to gambling (the legal age for which is 18 or older in most US states, and in many countries), this would raise serious concerns about their appropriateness for games available to younger audiences."
"Parents need to be aware that some games contain gambling-like mechanisms. Engaging with these mechanics could plausibly result in overspending or, some researchers suggest, even result in migration to more traditional forms of gambling," says Dr Drummond, who co-leads the International Media Psychology Laboratory with Dr Sauer, and is the director of the Manawatū campus laboratory where he specialises in researching the impact of digital media on cognition and behaviour.
"Research investigating the exposure of adolescents to simulated gambling suggests that risks such as peer pressure and a dilution of monetary value through the exchange of real currency for virtual currency might facilitate migration to monetary forms of gambling."

The research applied five established characteristics common to most gambling activities, and that distinguish gambling from other risk-taking behaviour, and found that almost half of games that contained loot-boxes met these criteria:
The exchange of money or valuable goods.
An unknown future event determines the exchange.
Chance at least partly determines the outcome.
Non-participation can avoid incurring losses.
Winners gain at the sole expense of losers.

"Given these features are similar to those underlying traditional forms of gambling, the Belgium Gaming Commission and Australian and US regulators are investigating whether loot boxes constitute a form of gambling," the report says. "However, at present, there is no consensus on whether such simulated forms of gambling constitute illegal gambling operations."
New Zealand has more game developers per capita than any other country in the world, says Dr Drummond. "Understanding the psychological risks of mechanics such as loot boxes is essential to ensuring that the New Zealand game industry remains at the forefront of ethical and sustainable video game development."

Unintended meanings
As I am applying my mind, such as it is, to legal writing, another matter crosses it: the use of words to mean something other than their correct meaning. However, the word that causes me to embark on this particular rant (and, note, I don't think I am embarking on anything here, in the strict sense of the word, or strictu sensu as lawyers used to say, thus giving the lie to their reputation for verbosity, because I am not boarding a ship) has already acquired a wider meaning than it originally had. As has "embark".
I read in The Lawyer that Oxford Brookes University has discontinued its legal practice course. It has left part-time students feeling anxious half-way to qualifying (half-way being, in this context, nowhere) although no doubt the Solicitors Regulation Authority will ensure they get to complete their course somehow. It is the latest of a bunch of institutions that have done likewise, facing a decline in the number of people wanting to become solicitors. That in itself is an interesting trend. The main reason this resonates, as they say, with me is that I used to teach there back in the days when the Oxford Institute of Legal Practice was a joint venture between Brookes and Oxford University. Then it was based in a city-centre office block, intended to replicate the atmosphere of a solicitors' office (it never seemed very successful in that aim, I must say): latterly it moved to Headington Hill Hall, part of the Brookes estate, formerly and notoriously a council house in the occupation of one Robert Maxwell.
Anyway, that's one LPC fewer, but on the same web page up pops an advertisement offering an LPC course at a "prestigious" law school. It turns out to be one that, to my mind, is a prestige-free zone, but leaving academic snobbery aside, I was amused at the idea that a law school might be proficient at conjuring tricks. I am however a bit too late to laugh about that one, because "prestigious" has lost that meaning and acquired the one the university in question had in mind. So my reference books tell me. However, the noun form "prestige" comes from the same Latin source (and incidentally has become an adjective too along the way - "prestige car", for example), where I had assumed without thinking about it much that the two words had quite different etymologies.
It is not, however, such a big change, I realised. From a conjuring trick to an illusion or impression of glamour is a short step, and the meanings are surely appropriate for a former polytechnic now entitled to call itself a university. There is, however, a serious point here, and it has taken me a long time to get to it: as professional wordsmiths, lawyers need to be alert to nuances of meaning. It is not possible to prevent the development of language, and indeed it is hardly desirable either. It is not the job of lawyers to hinder that process, but it is their job to achieve clarity in their work and to avoid ambiguity, and often that will mean we have to eschew the neoligism or changeling (can I use the word in this context? Provided the meaning is clear, I think so). "Prestigious" has undergone the big change and could probably be used safely, though I can't see why it might ever be necessary in legal writing, but other words do not have a sufficiently precise definition.

I like that now they a young man at cashier who is very friendly. But today I had a bad experience with one of the sales clerks on the floor. She was very flippant with me (when I asked if she had read theb instructions in Spanish or English), I didnot like at all - nor was it called for. They could attempt to employ more rounded ethnic staff based on their customer base -- this young lady was too touchy about what she preceived as a slight -- and wrongly so.

Your home should be a sanctuary where you feel safe. Protecting your home from criminal intrusion, such as burglary, should be high on your list of priorities.
A general definition of burglary is unlawful entry into a building for the purposes of committing an offense; usually that offense will be theft. Burglary is a non-confrontational property crime. Most burglars tend to survey a neighborhood looking for the right residence and the right opportunity. Becoming a burglary victim can leave a family feeling vulnerable and violated.
Home burglaries usually involve a selection process, which is fairly simple. Burglars choose unoccupied homes with the easiest access, the greatest amount of cover and with the best escape routes.
The Orinda Police Department has launched an exciting new educational program for home safety and security. The intent of this program is to make your home more secure and increase personal safety for you, your family and your belongings. This Home Security Audit (PDF) will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. It will minimize the risk of you and your family becoming burglary victims and will assist in making your home unattractive to potential burglars.
If you are interested in having a member of the Orinda Police Department visit your home to perform a security audit, please contact the Police Department at 925-254-6820 to make an appointment. Appointments can be made Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to Noon and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Remember, don't be an easy target for burglars!
Consider your home's risk factors.
Unlocked doors and windows are common ways a burglar enters a home. Lock all your doors and windows at night and every time you leave the house, even if it is just for a few minutes. Side or back doors are the most common point of entry so make sure they are secured with working deadbolt locks.
Houses that have cover (trees and dense shrubs) near doors and windows are particularly vulnerable due to the concealment they provide for someone trying to break into a home. Keep tree branches trimmed off at least seven feet up to prevent access to windows or decks and keep shrubs well trimmed to eliminate hiding places.
Make sure front and back doors are well lit and install motion (photocell) lights around the entire exterior of your home.
Install an adequate alarm system, maintain it, and use it!
Become a part of your Neighborhood Watch group or start one of your own. Having the extra sets of eyes and ears to call police about suspicious people or vehicles in your neighborhood can prevent a crime from occurring altogether.

The Prophets came to Surya in Kings Cross during their UK tour in support of their latest EP 'Waiting For The End.' Playing to a packed audience, the band were pretty impressive for being able to stay true to the pop-punk genre that they are throughout their set. Not being a regular attendee of rock gigs myself, it was cool to see how this band managed to involve everyone in the audience either way.
I hate to make an emphasis on 'female fronted' aspect of a band, BUT in this genre, it always stands out to me because it's a great contrast to hear a softer voice working with the heavy music that rock / punk music tends to demand. 'Closest Thing' was my favourite song of theirs, just because the melodies and the instrumentation were the most appealing to me here!
Sally Pepper headlined the night. Quite a contrast to the aforementioned The Prophets, performing in the more singer songwriter style with a guitar and herself. Her songs were slightly more interesting though than the sad love song; My favourite had to be 'Nothing' a song all about the empty void that is life when you finish uni, something I'm sure every young person would experience after coming out of any sort of education! She also did an experimental cover of Fall Out Boys' music, as well as using the loop pedal unexpectedly amazingly throughout her set!
She ended with her song 'Memory,' a song off of one of her EPs, built up with the audience claps, and intertwining Justin Bieber's 'Sorry' in to the song somehow seamlessly. I loved this set just because of the incredibly interesting array of genres and songs and topics and influences that Sally pulled in, making each song a surprise, and a great one too!
A night of much new, creative, and innovative music!

Among the most highly expressed drug transporters in neonatal organs are the organic cation transporters (Octs), which transport drugs, neurotransmitters, metabolites and toxins. Many drug-drug interactions and metabolic derangements due to drugs are thought to occur at the level of the transporter, and certain polymorphisms can lead to drug toxicity. Oct1/SLC22A1 is the prototypical member of the SLC22A family of transporters and along with certain ABC transporters (e.g., MDR), Oats and Oatps, is one of the most important xenobiotic (phase III drug transporter) transporters in the body. The PI's lab identified Organic Anion Transporter 1 (Oat1/NKT/Slc22a6), which, along with Oct1 originally helped define the SLC22 transporter family. We have studied the in vivo function of several SLC22 transporters and performed detailed in vitro analysis and in silico modeling of substrate-transporter interactions. Nevertheless, detailed molecular analyses of substrate-transporter interactions-which are necessary to take a rational approach to diminishing adverse affects of drugs transported by Oct1-are limited by the absence of precise structural information. Here we propose to combine our knowledge of SLC22 transporter biology (and skill with in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo assays) together with the expertise of top-notch investigators in x-ray crystallography, protein and substrate modeling to investigate the molecular mechanisms of the key substrate-transporter interactions involved in Oct1-mediated organic cation xenobiotic handling. Although in this proposal we focus on Oct1, the results will also provide important information relevant to other SLC22 drug transporters. To our knowledge, we are among the very few groups in this field that has a proven ability to combine such diverse areas of expertise, including computationally biology, structural biology and in vivo/in vitro wet-lab biology and is one of the most innovative aspects of the proposed studies. We will crystallize and determine the high-resolution x-ray structure of Oct1 (SA1) in a continuing collaboration with Dr. Geoffrey Chang (involving both his laboratory and TransportPDB, a component of the NIH Protein Structural Initiative of which he is a founding member) to gain key insights into the structural basis of substrate binding and transport. We will use our documented expertise in ligand-based and transporter-based computational approaches (SA2) to identify the molecular determinants of substrates and the Oct1 protein mediating their interactions. Pharmacophore-based virtual screening of chemical structure libraries will be done, and identified structures will be used for molecular dynamic analyses to prioritize compounds. Identified compounds will be obtained and tested in wet-lab studies using in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo approaches well established in the PI's group (SA3). This multifaceted structural- computational-wet-lab strategy will result in major advances in understanding adverse drug reactions in children as well as adults and help move the drug transporter field forward.
Children are particularly vulnerable to toxicity from pharmaceutical drugs. These drugs are distributed throughout the body via drug transporters. Understanding how drugs interact with transporters at the molecular level may help diminish adverse drug reactions in children and adults.

Danielle and Austin's engagement session fell on one of the last warm days in November, right before the leaves fell from the trees. We began photographing their session at Austin's family farm- the most beautiful scenery of rolling farmland hills and an old barn with charm and character. Then we hopped over to Mingo Creek five minutes down the road and grabbed some pictures in the woods and around the red covered bridge.
Danielle and Austin are a fun and laid-back couple, who are having their wedding in May of 2020 at Heaven Sent Farms. I had the best time getting to know them (and their pups!) as we photographed their engagement session. One of my favorite images from the session occurred so organically- I asked Danielle and Austin to take a walk together in the sun-splashed field with their dog, and out of nowhere, two of their family's other dogs ran through the field and caught up with them, swirling Danielle and Austin with puppy-like excitement.


Janet Yellen's communications style will be in the spotlight Wednesday when the chairwoman of the Federal Reserve holds her first press conference.
Although it's early in her term, Yellen seems to have a good way with explaining things, winning favorable comments from lawmakers in her nomination hearing, said Matt Eventoff, owner of Princeton Public Speaking, who trains executives to speak before large groups.
"She seems to be able to successfully to explain concern and the economy in a way that resonates with people who are not finance majors," Eventoff said.
Members of Congress somehow seemed more careful about how they would be perceived in dealing with her than her predecessor, Ben Bernanke, he said.
Tony Cherin, a professor of finance at San Diego State University, said Yellen should try to emulate Bernanke's clarity.
"Bernanke wasn't banging his shoe, he had a thoughtful and precise demeanor and was relatively quiet," Cherin said. "But he gave you some feel for where the central bank might be going," he said.
Yellen may also benefit from a honeymoon period afforded to new public officials, according to Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at Mary Washington University.
Robert Brusca, chief economist at FAO Economics, still thinks that Yellen has a tough job ahead of her because her message will be tough to sell.
Yellen wants to say that she wants faster pace of employment growth, but the central bank is tapering its bond purchase program and relying only on "murky" forward guidance, he said.
The Fed is trying to convince the market that it will keep short-term interest rates low for longer, a policy tool known as forward guidance. Forward guidance is just the Fed is talking out of both sides of its mouth, saying only it will keep rates low unless conditions shift, Brusca said. "Fed communication is at cross purposes," Brusca said.
Yellen may get an easier time from the press than women politicians, says Farnsworth.
For instance, the press was often much more focused on Hillary Clinton's hair and clothes compared with Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, Farnsworth noted. As Fed chairwoman, Yellen will benefit from an assumption of competence and professionalism that women candidates for elective office often don't receive, he said.
Not that she'll be completely immune. There was a bit of a media storm last November when a male gossip columnist for Roll Call wrote a column 'Somebody Spot Janet Yellen Some New Threads' after noticing she wore the same outfit to her nomination hearing that she wore when President Barack Obama officially nominated her to the post. A female columnist for the National Journal wrote a fairly scathing piece in response.

Waitrose & Partners Announces Plans to Treble the Size of Its Online Operations
Waitrose & Partners today announces plans to treble the size of its successful online grocery operation to a £1bn business over the next three years, working in partnership with Today Development Partners (TDP).
The move with TDP, which is headed by Jonathan Faiman and Mo Gawdat, will accelerate the development of Waitrose.com through a significant increase in capacity and automation and will see a rapid step change in Waitrose.com's online and digital capabilities. Together, Waitrose.com and TDP plan to develop three state-of-the-art automated Customer Fulfilment Centres (CFCs) while harnessing cutting edge technical capabilities to deliver an outstanding online customer experience.
The Waitrose.com service is currently provided through a combination of from-branch deliveries, and through the Coulsdon Fulfilment Centre, opened in 2015 - as well as via a planned second CFC to serve the North London area.
To lead this growth in online, Ben Stimson - currently Retail Director - has been appointed to the new role of Digital Director with immediate effect. Ben will work across all areas of Waitrose & Partners to lead the delivery of the growth in capacity and sales of Waitrose.com and will manage the new relationship with TDP. The role will build on his previous role, where in addition to holding responsibility for shops and contact centres, Ben led market-beating online growth and significant increases in customer satisfaction. He will make digital integral to the business with the aim of making it easy for customers to shop in the way that suits them - barriers between online and offline shopping will disappear.
Rob Collins, MD of Waitrose & Partners, commented: 'Waitrose.com is a popular and efficient home delivery service that is already growing strongly ahead of the market. The plans announced today represent a clear commitment to achieve rapid step-change in Waitrose.com's capacity and capability as we build a modern, well-invested digital business that is fit for the future.
'The development of our new Customer Fulfilment Centres will triple our delivery capacity, bringing our well-loved service and delicious food to more customers across the UK and setting Waitrose.com on the path to becoming a £1 billion turnover business.'
Jonathan Faiman, Co-founder and CEO of Today Development Partners said: "I am more excited about this new venture than anything I've done in my career. I am delighted and privileged to be back within the John Lewis Partnership family and we will deliver for Waitrose.com customers the world's best digital home delivery service."
Mo Gawdat, chief business officer of TDP and former chief business officer of Google X, the innovation arm of Google, said: "What we're aiming to build is the kind of platform that touches everyone's life. With the advancement in technology and with Waitrose.com as our partner we aim to make the experience of using this technology a great experience for the customer."

What he has found, instead, is a quarterback competition that seemed unlikely back in the spring, when neither Surratt nor anyone else separated themselves as a favorite to win the starting position. Things began to change, though, during the first weeks of preseason practice, and Surratt pushed Harris enough that both players played a significant role in UNC's opener.
Afterward, neither one exactly raved about splitting time. Harris said he knew five days before the first game that he would start. He said Fedora told him that Surratt would also play. Surratt, meanwhile, said Fedora told him he'd enter the game on the third series – just like Trubisky years before – and then playing time would be determined by performance.
Asked afterward if the arrangement affected his ability to develop a rhythm, Surratt said, "You could say that."
"It's not something that me and Brandon are both used to," he said. "So it could."
Harris stood nearby, answering similar questions.
"That's the first time I've ever been a part of it," he said of his role in a two-man quarterback show.

Harris said later that he was "going to have to find a way" to succeed in the rotation.
"I don't know how you do it but we've got to just find a way," he said.
By the end of UNC's surprising defeat on Saturday – the Tar Heels entered as a double-digit favorite – there was little doubt about which quarterback fared better. Harris played five series, only one in the second half, and completed seven of his 16 passes for 60 yards and two interceptions, including one that ended a promising drive toward the end of the first half.
Surratt played nine series, led UNC on all four of its touchdown drives, and completed 18 of his 28 attempts for 161 yards and one touchdown. Neither Harris nor Surratt often attempted a downfield pass, and both players averaged less than six yards per passing attempt (UNC's defense surrendered 9.6 yards per attempt).
If Fedora was basing his long-term quarterback decision on one game, it might be an easy one. As he said on Monday, though, he is not basing his decision on one game, and he implied that the two-quarterback system would "probably" continue on Saturday against Louisville, whose powerful offense is led by reigning Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson.
Against Louisville, especially, maximizing offensive efficiency – and scoring points, to put it simply – will be of the utmost importance for the Tar Heels. Fedora said he was sympathetic to concerns that a quarterback rotation might negatively affect the flow of the offense, as it did at times on Saturday, and as it did three years ago before he settled on Williams.
"It is sometimes hard to do that," Fedora said. "The way we practice, I mean both those guys are getting the same amount of reps and they're both working with both groups all the time. Would you prefer it was one guy all the time with the ones and nobody got injured so you could have continuity all the time? Yeah you'd prefer that. But that's just not what we have right now."
Fedora's decision isn't as simple as the one-game sample size indicates. For one, Harris came to UNC to start, and if he doesn't start Fedora must weigh the consequences, including the possibility that not giving Harris the starting position might make it more difficult to recruit another graduate transfer quarterback, should the need ever arise.
On the other hand, Surratt represents the future. If this is to be a rebuilding season – and the defeat against Cal indicated that it very well could be – then starting Surratt and allowing him to develop, through growing pains and all, could pay dividends in future seasons. In the spring, that didn't seem to be an attractive option for Fedora, but it has since emerged as one.
And so the debate goes on. This isn't what Fedora would prefer, given his ideal set of circumstances. It's not what Harris or Surratt would prefer, either. And yet it is their reality, at least until Fedora has seen enough.
"Really, I'm looking for the guy that's going to put us in a position to win," he said. "And taking care of the football is still No. 1 with those two. You've got to take care of the football."
Harris, who threw two interceptions against Cal, didn't effectively do that during his debut. If that continues on Saturday against Louisville, Fedora's decision could be clearer, and easier.

Highest Rated: 80% Gettysburg (1993)
Lowest Rated: 73% Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
Birthday: Jul 7, 1959
Birthplace: Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
Initially winning fame for his role as Luke Fuller on Dynasty from 1984 to 1985, Bill Campbell went on to a career mainly comprised of television roles, but including the occasional foray into film as well. The oldest of seven children, Campbell was born in Charlottesville, Virginia on July 7, 1959. After making his TV debut on Dynasty, he gained a substantial role in Abel Ferrara's made-for-TV Crime Story and appeared in a number of forgettable films. In 1991, he won notice for his title role in The Rocketeer, and the following year had a supporting part in Bram Stoker's Dracula. However, he continued to do his best work on TV, appearing in the acclaimed PBS series Tales of the City (1993) and its 1998 sequel More Tales of the City as the gay gynecologist lover of one of the show's protagonists. In 1999, he could again be seen on television, starring opposite Sela Ward on the series Once and Again. The credits listed him as "Billy Campbell;" the actor has also been credited in the past as "William Campbell." In 2002 Campbell had the tables turned on him as a menacing husband whose wife (portrayed by pop-diva Jennifer Lopez) takes the situation into her own hands in Enough.
