Baldur's Gate was released in 1998 and set the standard for single-player team-based role-playing games. Four years later (give or take a couple of months), BioWare released Neverwinter Nights – a game that picked up the flag that Baldur's Gate had set as the benchmark and moved it forward. In 2007 The Witcher entered the RPG scene and gave the genre a more-adult feel, but that was very much a solo-character effort. When it comes to the concept of the team format, of tactical combat, nothing has really moved the genre forward … until now.
Dragon Age: Origins does not merely move that flag forward a few feet, it scales the mountain of RPGs, raises a new banner, a new high bar, and then challenges the genre to play catch-up. It is a lofty achievement, full of twists in the plot, building on a dynamic rarely seen in gaming at all, and telling a story that is amazing in its scope.
The story begins 400 years prior to the events depicted. A group of mages, intent on expanding their base of power tried to breach the gates to heaven, where the Maker resided, to tap that power base. They were repulsed and cast back down to the lands of Ferelden, becoming twisted and malformed in the process, and finally became known as the arch-demons. In their wrath and rage, they cast a Blight upon the land, dredging up creatures created and twisted by dark magic, known as the darkspawn. The army of foulness swarmed across the lands of elves, dwarves and men. As the victory of the darkspawn seemed at hand, a new force made its presence known – the Grey Wardens. These warriors, selected and trained from the ranks of all of the peoples of Ferelden, turned the tide of the war and defeated the darkspawn.
But once the lands were secure, the Grey Wardens slid into anonymity and were all but forgotten.
As DA:O opens, the darkspawn are once again starting a bid to take over the lands. Players created a character from one of six origins, complete with a rich back-story, and begin the task of cleansing the lands once again. But nothing is easy.
For those expecting spoilers, you will be disappointed. What good would it do anyway? DA:O is a game where choice matters and while there are some linear events at the beginning, and toward the end of the approximate 120 hours of gameplay (if you do all the quests – main story arch and follow through on all the side quests that dot the game's landscape; and there will be downloadable content/quests available when the game launches), but the elements in between present a sandbox world where you choose what course of action you wish to take. Not only can you determine where you want to go, but there is the chance that characters within your party dynamic may not agree with your decisions and instead of being allies, they may turn on you and force you to a fight to the death.
As mentioned, there are six origins in total. There are three main character classes – warrior, rogue and mage, which are defined through the allocation of points you receive at levels 7 and 14. If you have a rogue, that can break down into ranger, assassin, duelist or bard. Those points, when assigned, open up new skill trees. The three racial backdrops are elf, human and dwarf. There are different back stories for the race and class (mage is not an option for the dwarf). For example, if you go human, you will find yourself as either a novitiate in the Circle of Magi tower, learning the craft of magic under the watchful eye of the First Enchanter and the Templars with a bit of a clouded back-story. But choose either warrior or rogue and you will be of the noble house of Cousland, and the story is much more defined. Each of these early paths leads you to a character named Duncan, who is recruiting for the Grey Wardens.
A Blight is upon the lands and the Grey Wardens, once the guardians who rode into battle on griffons (the griffons, sadly, are now extinct) are looking for a certain kind of warrior to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the king to battle the evil plague.
As the game progresses, you will meet new characters, each with a unique personality, and each with his or her motivations or agendas for joining your cause. These characters for the basis of the pool you draw from when creating a party of four to venture across the lands. You may find yourself drawn to certain characters, leaving others in your base camp, but don't worry – the characters left behind will not cease to level. As the characters in the main party fight and level, those left behind level as well. Should you reset the party – each character has specific traits that define the role he or she would play in the group dynamic – you will be allowed to allocate their points earned while at the camp. You may have an assassin join you (Zevran is an interesting character, and apparently bisexual, but more on that element in a moment) at level 8, but you are comfortable with your own character, Wynne (a Circle of Magi character with healing proclivities), Morrigan (the daughter of the famed Witch of the Wilds and a powerful damage dealer) and Alistair (a fellow Grey Warden, former templar and decent tank). The main body of characters moves, during the course of their adventures, from level 8 to 11. But a new quest line has need of an assassin's skills and Zevran is called to action. When you first re-enter the world after selecting your party, you can level Zev up to the current level of the bulk of the party members.
DA:O is very much a dark epic, with themes that are not appropriate for younger children. Not only does evil cast its pall over the environment of the game, but there are side elements. For example, each of the created characters can, surreptitiously, engage in sexual relations with another. A meter on the character sheet tracks how one character likes your main character and dialogue choices can lead to intimate moments that are alluded to. There are bisexual characters in the storyline.
But the relationship between the characters is an overriding factor that plays out as you move through the game. As a choice is made, you will see how that resonates with those within your party. Should you lose a lot of favor with a party member, he or she may leave your party, or may even attack you for a decision made. At one point, during a quest the decision was made to cleanse a building rather than risk the corruption that seemed to be endemic therein from spreading. One party member vehemently opposed that decision and turned on the other three. The only way through the scenario was to kill the revolting party member and move forward with three members in the party. However, because of the ability to save often (F5 for quick saves, or ESC to open the main menu interface and create a saved game file), the scenario was immediately replayed, a different path taken and there was not a revolt among the party members – though not all agreed with the new decision.
That is, perhaps, part of the charm of this game – there is no true right or wrong path through the game. Each choice made may have outcomes that are immediate or down the road.
Another dynamic of the game is the ability to pause at any moment and change the tactics of the party. Hitting the spacebar pauses the game and you can then issue orders. You can, for example, tell Alistair that if a mage, who is a member of the party, comes under attack, and his or her health hits 75%, that he is to break off from his current target, taunt the enemy attacking the mage, shield bash and then hold that targets attention to allow the mage to step back beyond the edge of the fray. Or you can pause the game and have a healer gulp a mana-regeneration potion and cast a group heal. If the battle is going badly (and remember, this is a war, so there is no shortage of combat opportunities), you may wish to pause the game and readjust the difficulty setting on the fly. Not only can it be lowered at any time, but you can also raise it higher.
When it comes to the battle itself, the game offers players to view the game from a third-person perspective, or you can go old-school with the top-down perspective that evaporates ceilings and allows you to gain a wider perspective of the battlefield. This is handy for sending a charging tank to the ranged attackers on the peripheral of the battle that are plunking your tanks to death. You can allocate targets for each of the members, and even designate the type of skills you wish them to use. The AI of the game, though, is quite bright and party characters will do some things automatically – such as the healer will watch the central tank's health and use his or her healing spells appropriately. The combat skill known as 'kiting' is also a viable option. The game's combat does play out in real time and should you have a couple of party members fall, leaving only a healer alive, that healer can run, gulp mana potions, wait for the timer of the resurrection spell to reset and then revive fallen companions.
The game's controls are mouse-and-keyboard driven. You can point and click to move, or use the WASD keys. Right clicking with the mouse is the action command.
The character traits available for each class do play a role. Those traits – which include strength, dexterity, cunning, wisdom, magic, and constitution – may be attached to a weapon or piece of armor. You may run across a breastplate that requires 25 strength to use, or a two-handed mace that requires 36 strength. Conversely, a bow you find may require 31 dexterity to be able to use. Each time your characters level, they are given three points to spend, and players can really define their characters abilities through how they allocate the points. You can also really mess up a character and render him or her almost useless within the default profession. Once the points are allocated and the game is advanced, there is no way to go back and reset those points.
In addition to weapons and armor found that naturally have buffs on them, you can also find runes that can be used by a dwarf you will eventually have in your base camp to enchant weapons. Some weapons cannot be enchanted while others may have one or two enchantment slots.
DA:O is a single-player experience, but BioWare is creating a robust online community experience that allows players to upload character biographies, screenshots, heroic achievements and even stories to embrace the role-playing element of the game.
The development team has done a sterling job of creating emotional content within the game's atmosphere. The sound texturing, driven by Inon Zur's music, is carried forward by background conversation between party members and even the jingling of chain armor as you run. Yes, there are load points as you transition from one area to another, but this is negligible to the overall gameplay. The voice acting for the characters is wonderful and really brings a wonderful flavor to the whole game.
Graphically the game hits a high point as well. Lip synching for the dialogue (and there is a lot of that) is excellent, and faces will emote feelings as will body language. The characters of the game, from the party members, to the side members you will encounter on your travels, are vibrant and alive. A few glitches were encountered with the build received, and some of the load times were a bit long. There are also times when you may find yourself running from one zone to another and back again as individual parts of an overall quest are achieved, rather than moving into a zone and completing all the quest requirements before returning for the reward.
The game also does allow for a bit of hand-holding at times and there can be set conditions for elements to happen within the game sphere. If you get to the halls of the dwarven kingdom, for example, you may find yourself bouncing from the Proving Grounds to the Diamond District to The Dust (the area for the caste-less and the dregs of dwarven society) with a frequency that can be a bit long in the tooth, so to speak.
Dragon Age: Origins is like that really good book that you don't want to put down. There is trepidation in the journey with each step taken, each choice made the subject of second guessing; there in anguish in the sacrifice of war. There is glory in battle and victories won, a test of mind, of tactics and skill rarely encountered in a game and seamlessly combined in this title. While there is an ending, you find yourself not truly wishing to get to it, if only to prolong the experience, but hungry nonetheless to succeed and save the lands.
BioWare stated that this was a return to its roots in the RPG space and it is a glorious return. As single-player RPG games go, DA:O is a crowning achievement. This is a must-own PC title.

The iVapo is a nice simple case to use. The ipad and pencil both fit snug and I'm not worried about either falling out. The material is a softer flexible rubber, which I prefer because it has good grip to hold and I believe offers better protection in a fall. Hard cases don't absorb impacts well and often shatter, so I was looking for a case that was softer and could absorb the shock of a fall. The stand works well in all orientations. I got the case in the black and the cover texture is just understated enough while still being attractive. If I have a complaint it is that the magnets are a little under powered. Sometimes the cover will open if you are holding the ipad upside down or have the ipad in your bag hing side down. I'm planning on gluing a couple extra magnets to the cover to give it more grip. I'd definitely suggest this case to anyone who wants a smart, affordable case to hold the pencil and ipad together.

How to find out what key words the competition is using ??
I am glad to have found you guys and also the awesome AMZ Tracker tools..... Amazing software. I am new to this and wonder if anyone here can give some tips and tricks on how to find out what key words the competition is using. Can this be done in the tracker tool of AMZ Tracker?
Really happy to hear that you're enjoying AMZ Tracker. I know how much it can improve your sales .
As for finding your Amazon competitors keywords, 9/10 the main keywords a product ranks for will be in the title. What I do is take any of the keywords that stand out in a competitors title, then I head over to Merchant Words. I'll then put in the few "seed" keywords and see what pops up, looking for the keywords that can contribute the most traffic (ie the highest volume keywords).
Pop those into your AMZ tracker rank tracker, come back in a day and you're all set.
I think this way is perfect!
you have mentioned the use of Merchant Words to find good keywords. We have been using Merchant Words last year, but have stopped using it once we have realized that it hasn't been updated in a long time. For example when you did a search for Worldcup 2014 we got results for Worldcup 2010 and others, but nothing for Worldcup 2014. There have been several searches with keywords for major events (like Superbowl, Germany Soccer Shirt, etc.) where Merchant Words came back with keywords which where outdated (wrong year) or have shown very low number of hits. The owner of Merchant Words told us that there are some bugs which he was going to fix, but this has never happened, that' why we quit. Did you experience similar issues?
Why are you guys not developing something similar than them. This would take AMZ Tracker to another level...:-).
Merchant Words is absolutely not perfect, but IMO it doesn't need to be. All I need is a general sense of the keywords. Optimize for everything there and the rest takes care of itself.
What would you type into google to find your product? Find the biggest keywords and put these into merchant words to give a much more comprehensive list of possible keywords. Your competition is probably targeting the bigger ones, but these will be in their Product Titles anyway.
Google keyword tool gives a much better idea of search volume for current and emerging keywords being used in the industry, and which ones are increasing in search volume.
Merchant words is lagging in this aspect, as it doesn't update very frequently.
For the bigger volume keywords in my niche - merchant words has 2-3 times the search volume listed than Google Keyword Tool, so I just average the two to give myself some overall idea of search volume. Not very scientific but hey it's better than nothing.
Merchant words is also great for finding all the little long tail KW's and weaving them into your description / bullets.
I agree with @Travis_Jamison you don't need EXACT search data with this - if there's some ok volume and there's competitors selling, then go for it.
Also Travis - there was another keyword tool you've mentioned before in this forum but I cant find the post, cheers.
@sammy +1 to everything you said above. Spot on.
1) Term Explorer - Super generous free plan.
2) KeywordTool.io A good tool. Their free usage still helps a lot. The pro version is a little pricey for what it is though.
Why not just put the big KWs in your title, and then apply Amazon Automatic Targeting Advertisement, put the default bid with a high price, like 1.5$, and after 3 days you will find the KWs which is most relevant to your products and choose those with high search volume.
David545 - I agree this is the best way. It does involve cost obviously... but so does Merchant Words etc. I tried Merchant Words and used the keywords from it, however after doing the above 'Automatic' advertising through Amazon I was surprised at the huge difference in not only keywords, but search volume etc.
It's also incredibly helpful to see which ones get the best CTR, how much they cost etc. This is really the best way I've found.
Any idea which of those tools work for amazon.de? I found Merchant Words and others only work for .com/.uk .
@Philip Kleudgen None of the other Amazon keyword tools (like Merchant Words) really work for non-US/UK TLD's.
TermExplorer, Keywordtool.io, and Google keyword planner works in all countries and can help you get the basic keyword ideas though.
Really though, a lot of it comes down to describing the products. If your highly ranking competitor is selling "purple socks" then without a doubt their number 1 selling keyword will be "purple socks". So always start by trying to rank for the most descriptive term 1st ("merino wool purple socks for men"), and then expand outward. It usually comes down to common sense.
Just go with that and you can never go wrong!
if you want the exact keywords for any ASIN you can use KeywordInspector. You just buy credits, choose the ASIN & it gives you all the keywords used in rank order.
Just do a goole search for simple.keywordinspector & watch the video to see how it works.
Meh. I used it. Not all that impressed with it. Maybe I got a bad batch or something.
Yes,I tried keywordsinspector and it doesn't did a impressive work, much worse than AMZTracker indeed, just could collect some keywords of strong competitors and which is also big keywords far beyond our power to seize a good rank,and don't have to use brain to get that kind of keywords, longtail term with less competition is my cake! Keywords inspector is useless if can't pop out long-tail terms with details in competition.
lol keywordinspector gave me zero of the key words I have for one of my products and actually gave key words which appear no where in my front end of the ad, backend of the ad nor anything to do with the product.

When Alice follows the White Rabbit into Wonderland, so begins this dream expedition into the astonishing landscape of childhood, through many dangerous adventures, and ultimately to Alice's trial before the King and Queen of Hearts.
Czech animator Jan Svankmajer has created a masterpiece of cinema, a strikingly original interpretation of Lewis Carroll's classic tale. Svankmajer's ALICE remains true to the absurdity of Carroll's original, but bears the stamp of his own distinctive style and obsessions. Combining techniques of animation and live action, he gives a new and fascinating dimension to the classic tale of childhood fantasies.

Rare is such a clear and definitive vision so blatantly shown in cinematic form. It feels as though Jan Svankmajer made no compromises and fully committed to his bizarre, surrealist, and grotesque ideas. Beautiful film.

Alice reminds me of creations similar to Labyrinth or Tim Burton's movies. I found the film to be unbelievably awkward, grotesque, and eerie, but in the best way possible. Surprisingly, I found myself tolerating then enjoying this film. I found the exaggerated usage of deceased taxidermy animals to be uniquely horrific, yet, alluring. The life-less characters remind me of items discovered in a hoarder's homestead, drowning in centuries of dust and mouse waste. Naturally, I found these creatures to be attractive and exciting in their own manner; absolutely twisted. I would highly recommend giving this film a watch.

The work of Czech animator Jan Svankmajer is both sublime and grotesque. It's wonderfully, horrifically bodily, which fits it so perfectly to the stop-motion medium. After all, unlike most forms of moving image art, stop-motion has a way of abandoning the suspension of disbelief traditionally associated with cinema, instead opting for a confrontation between the viewer and the arduous, timely human labor required to uphold the illusion of cinematic movement. Through his stop-motion work, Svankmajer dedicates himself to depicting the tedium and effort of human existence. His is a particularly existential horror.
ALICE is no different in this sense, taking the dead matter of taxidermy and re-animating it in such a way that illustrates the horror in the monotony and effort required to maintain existence. It's a children's story, yes, but designed to mirror the nightmares we have before we fully understand the natural and societal laws of life and death. It's a trip deep into the subconscious life of childhood, filled with absurdist humor and abject horror, like reliving an old dream from your earliest years just barely remembered.

The medical establishment has transformed a behavior, cigarette smoking, into a disease, and now defines how smoking should be "treated" and "cured".
Clinical trials are awful for assessing human behaviors and preferences like smoking.
4. A deposit account up to $600, plus number 2 above.
In all, only 1.3% of smokers quit, ranging from 0.1% with usual care, to 2-3% for those given financial incentives. In the study, which lasted only six months, the best "treatment" had a 97% failure rate. After a full year, the standard period for such trials, one could expect percentages to be even lower.
While the futility of using clinical trials to gauge smoking cessation has been demonstrated repeatedly, medical research and regulatory authorities still demand clinical trial proof – the medical treatment standard – for the benefits of switching from combustible cigarettes to smoke-free products.
Just as common sense tells us that a hammer can't be used to fasten a screw, the medical community should acknowledge that clinical trials can't be used to assess smoking cessation. The reason is simple: smoking is not a disease. Most smokers don't want treatment, cure, nagging or ostracism. They want information about the full suite of their options, including abstinence and all forms of tobacco harm reduction.
In publishing this uninformed study, The New England Journal of Medicine's authors and editors demonstrate that the illness-treatment-cure model of smoking is erroneous and completely uninformative. The medical/public health community needs to embrace population evidence from the FDA survey proving that smokers are quitting with e-cigarettes (here).
Last month, the Kentucky legislature overrode Governor Matt Bevin's veto and passed HB366 (here), a tax reform bill that increased cigarette excise taxes from $0.60 to $1.10, while leaving taxes on smokeless products unchanged and leaving e-cigarettes with no excise tax.
This policy mirrors the tax plan that my research group designed (here) – one endorsed by 16 tobacco research and economic policy experts from across the nation, and by the Pegasus Institute (here). Watch my interview with Nick Storm of Spectrum News here to learn more.
That reasoning is both insensitive and nonsensical. Many Kentucky smokers are unable or unwilling to quit tobacco and nicotine entirely. For them, traditional quit-smoking methods, which strive for nicotine and tobacco abstinence, don't work.
Our tax plan encourages and incentivizes smokers to quit or switch to less expensive and vastly safer smoke-free tobacco products, including smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes.
Decades of epidemiologic studies document that the health risks of dipping and chewing tobacco are, at most, a mere two percent of those associated with smoking. Unlike cigarettes, smokeless tobacco does not cause lung cancer, heart and circulatory diseases or emphysema. A recent study conducted by federal researchers and experienced epidemiologists found that men who dip or chew tobacco have no excess risk for mouth cancer (here).
Our plan also encourages smokers to switch to e-cigarettes, which already are among the most common – and most successful – quit aids in the U.S. (here).
Reduced risk applications have already been filed with the FDA for three products: IQOS heat sticks, Camel Snus and Copenhagen moist snuff. Science tells us that all of these are vastly safer than cigarettes. The question is: When will the FDA acknowledge this indisputable fact?
As an academician, I have both authored articles and scrutinized tobacco research for many years, advising journal editors on those occasions when I found factual deficiencies in published articles. This effort has served the interests of science and the pursuit of truth.
Professional medical journals position themselves as platforms for the publication of honest, transparent, reproducible research.

The University is among many using technology to help victims to report crimes on their own terms.
Personal safety is not something we as people take lightly, particularly in emergencies. The growth and innovation in this space reflects that. So it's not surprising that when the Association of American Universities released their Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct in 2015 some innovation was sure to arrive. In short, without going into explicit detail, the report listed 11.7% of students reporting non-consensual sexual contact by one form or another. As such, universities were in a rush to improve that tragic statistic.
Granted, many of you can easily cite examples that they did not do so fast enough. That being said, we are seeing an implementation of new technologies, one of which is actually seeing adoption by Stanford. It is a program known as Callisto.
The idea behind it is that young adults within the university or college environment lack the necessary resources on hand to know what to do when caught in such a situation. The program gives users the choice to record their data about the event and evidence such that it is time stamped efficiently, securely and confidentially.
The program itself, still in open source on GitHub has expanded to multiple campuses in California, Iowa and New York states. Stanford University announced, in addition to other measures, that it would employ the program on a three-year pilot basis. Callisto itself can only be adopted at colleges where the company can work with school administrative officials and thus not operate as an independent body.
It's an innovation that's as reasonable as it is necessary. The implementation of Callisto is only a part of Stanford's contribution to the AAU's plan to answer the problem of non-consensual sexual contact on campuses. The University's release on the subject lists multiple initiatives including training and education programs and workshops.
The problem is, as Ladd explains it, is that the majority of these acts are perpetuated by repeat offenders so education alone, while immeasurably valuable in prevention, has limits. Hence Callisto's rapid adoption and implementation. Let us hope it is the technological answer to this problem.
This type of thing is in the news a lot and should be. There is a lot of talk surrounding sexual assault and I commend this school for getting out there and trying to make a difference!
Now if the universities could keep tabs on the frat houses and things like hazing.
I love the idea. There is too much of this going on in schools and the workplace. Women should know they are safe and have an option if they are caught in a situation where a sexual assault might take place.
Bring it on. Schools may not have to do ANYTHING for something like this, but protecting the students should be #1 priority. Especially on the campus property. This is a great start and I hope that other colleges follow suit!

Q: ASP.NET Core Own middleware component How to get the second argument from HTTP Context? For example

localhost:45423/?login=login1/?password=password1

*

*Here is what I coded but it doesn't work. It always says that I'm not logged even when I inputted the correct login and password

public class CheckData
    {
        private readonly RequestDelegate _next;

        public CheckData(RequestDelegate next)
        {
            _next = next;
        }
        public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
        {
            var login = context.Request.Query["login"];
            var password = context.Request.Query["password"];
            if(login != "log1" && password != "pass1")
            {
                context.Response.StatusCode = 403;
                await context.Response.WriteAsync("Sorry, you're not logged");
            }
            else
            {
                await _next.Invoke(context);
            }
        }
    }

P.S: I've began learning ASP.NET Core today, only login works, but not login with password

A: You are passing the query parameters wrongly, For multiple query parameter you should pass like localhost:45423?login=login1&password=password1

Pre-packaging
The labelling of prepackages and their contents must indicate the weight or volume they contain in a harmonised way and under specific metrological conditions. There are 2 major pieces of legislation on standardised filling in this sector: on filling packages and on glass bottles. Both laws are widely applied in the EU and fully recognised by national authorities.
See the summary of the legislation in different languages.
The legislation was evaluated by the Commission in a report of 4 July 2016:
Commission report to the European Parliament and Council
Staff working document
Evaluation report (8 MB)
Filling packages
Under Directive 76/211/EEC packers and importers have the option to fill prepackages according to a standardised method. Such pre-packed products can then be freely marketed throughout the EU. They are recognisable by the large e-mark on the label or packaging, next to the indication of quantity (volume or weight).
Directive 75/107/EEC offers manufacturers the option to produce harmonised glass bottles used as measuring containers. This is indicated on the bottom of such bottles with a reversed epsilon marking ("З") next to the indication of quantity (volume).
Public consultation on packaging (2005)
Following its 2005 consultation of stakeholders – and subsequent discussion in the WELMEC – the Commission concluded that no further changes in EU law were needed, because the issues identified could be dealt with by guidance.
Report on 2005 packaging consultation (122 kB)
Metrological requirements of pre-packages – 2005 consultation document (296 kB)
Business impact analysis on conformity assessment in pre-packages (1 MB)
Directive 76/211/EEC - making-up pre-packaged products (by weight or volume)
Directive 75/107/EEC - bottles used as measuring containers
Directive 2009/34/EC - Framework Directive on measuring instruments & metrological control methods (recast of Directive 71/316/EEC).
Guidance documents and their status
In its evaluation report, the Commission concluded that it would "seek to promote the exchange of good practice between stakeholders and develop guidance". This was to ensure a coherent application of the pre-packaging directives. Guidance documents are conceptual in their set-up and give a general context on questions of application that may arise.
The guidance documents have been agreed upon by WELMEC (European Cooperation in Legal Metrology). WELMEC is comprised of representatives from national authorities in pre-packaging who have consulted European and national trade organisations where relevant.
The guidance documents are not a legally binding interpretation of the directive. The legally binding text remains that of Directives 75/107/EEC and 76/211/EEC, as amended by Directive 2007/45/EC. However, the guidance documents represent a reference for ensuring consistent application of the directives by all competent departments.

Music Together® is an innovative music and movement program for children (ages newborn to five years) and their parents or caregivers, that is based on the belief that all children are inherently musical. More than a Mommy and Me program this is an activity the whole family can enjoy! Originally offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate, play based early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
We introduce babies, toddlers and preschoolers to the joys of making music instead of passively receiving it from CD's and television. Very young children instinctively respond to and imitate their loved ones, and the active participation of parents and caregivers - regardless of their musical ability - is an essential part of the rich musical environment we create. Music Together parents discover what a powerful role model they are for their child, just by having fun with the music themselves! And by providing CD's and songbooks to take home, we hope to give you and your child a music education that inspires music-making in your everyday family life!

Modernizing VistA: Enabling Scalable Interoperability In A Legacy System
Mark Byers | Government Computer News | September 11, 2014
While the technical challenges are formidable, leveraging cutting-edge tools and platforms can be part of the solution for achieving fast, secure and scalable interoperability within the mission-critical legacy system. However, the needs of clinical staff must remain paramount in designing solutions. A seemingly elegant systems architecture, for instance, is not viable unless it enables maximum efficiency for the providers who use it to treat the nation's veterans. Thus, two technology approaches could have substantial effects on performance... Read More »

Open Source EHRs: Will They Support Clinical Data Needs of the Future? (Part 1 of 2)
Andy Oram | EMR & EHR | November 10, 2014
Open source software missed out on making a major advance into health care when it was bypassed during hospitals' recent stampede toward electronic health records, triggered over the past few years by Meaningful Use incentives...As Meaningful Use ramps down and clinicians have to look for value in EHRs, can the open source options provide what they need?
The first part of this article provided a view of the current data needs in health care and asked whether open source electronic health records could solve those needs. I'll pick up here with a look at how some open source products deal with the two main requirements I identified: interoperability and analytics. Interoperability, in health care as in other areas of software, is supported better by open source products than by proprietary ones. Read More »

VistA as an EHR System Core for DoD
By Roger A. Maduro | March 1, 2013
Here is a copy of the full text of the proposal submitted by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to the Department of Defense in response to the Request for Information for an electronic health record (EHR) solution that can replace the existing DoD EHR system. This is the approach that makes the most sense as the current core EHR that the Department of Defense (DoD) uses is based on a 30-year-old version of VistA. The current EHR crisis facing DoD stems from the inability to upgrade this older version of VistA. What the VA is proposing is basically an upgrade to DoD's existing core EHR. Read More »


At Germantown Municipal School District in southwestern Tennessee, the role of coordinated school health is to provide students with a well-rounded education. "We want to knock down academic barriers, and health and wellness are a huge part of that," says Brian Fisher, the Coordinated School Health Supervisor at the district.
And the district is finding some creative ways to do it through the funding opportunities presented in the nation's education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
ESSA recognizes the important of supporting the whole child and includes a number of new opportunities to support school district efforts to promote the health and learning connection. For example, the new law requires all state and local school report cards to include chronic absence and requires schools identified as underperforming to conduct needs assessments to better understand the root causes. In addition, Title IV, Part A of ESSA creates a new program called the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants which designates funding to support well-rounded education opportunities and safe and healthy students.
Germantown Municipal School District serves just under 6,000 students at three elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. The students come from mostly upper and middle class backgrounds. The goal of the school district is to improve its student's academic achievement, while recognizing the importance of being both physically and mentally strong." For instance, Fisher has been able to leverage the Title IV, Part A funding to address the district's high rate of obesity. One of the programs the district has been able to implement with Title IV funds has been the Heart Zone system, a data-driven fitness system using heart monitors.
The Heart Zone system has allowed teachers to make small changes—folding up bleachers and playing music—that increased physical activity even during waiting periods of PE class. Students earn points for every minute they spend in the target heart rate zone (moderate to vigorous physical activity, for example). Because the target heart rate is individualized for each student, every student is getting a good workout regardless of their personal fitness level.
At the high school level, the district found it was falling short because the gym only had two basketball hoops and couldn't accommodate enough students at one time. The district used Title IV funds to purchase two more basketball hoops.
Germantown has also used ESSA funds to provide emergency response bags for each classroom. The emergency response bags came out of a concern teachers had for being on lock down in their classrooms with an injured student during a school shooting. The bags include CPR masks, tourniquets, trauma blankets, gloves and notepads.
All of these projects come back to helping the schools provide healthy and safe environments for their students. "These resources are helping our underfunded areas that our school were asking to be funded," Fisher says.


Inspired Entertainment Inc has signed a multi-year contract with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) to provide its scheduled and on-demand Virtual Sports alongside its interactive casino content. The firm's content will be enabled for players in British Columbia and Manitoba in the first half of 2019.
"Our North American strategy is a key priority for Inspired and this partnership with BCLC is indicative of the progress we are making on this strategy," said Brooks Pierce, President and Chief Operating Officer of Inspired.
BCLC conducts and manages gambling in British Columbia, including casino, lottery, bingo and sports betting, through multiple channels of distribution. PlayNow.com is the corporation's secure, regulated online and mobile channel, with a growing selection of lottery games, sports betting, slots, table games and bingo entertainment.

Hi everyone. Ghostlady dropping in to say hi. It has abeen a very long time since I've posted. I hope you are all doing well. What's the big news right now?
Wow! What a great treat to see you here, Ghostlady! Lots of different things going on and some new games coming out that we're all getting excited about. Chuchel from Aminita is one!
I GL! Welcome back to your lovely site! Lots of emotional stuff going on with a number of us with losses of family, but we are all hanging in there. Hope all is well with you!
I've been talking with her every day, Drac. It's really tough getting used to her not being here.
I can only imagine how much harder it is when she was living with you. I've called my sister every Sunday about 11:00 which is when she went down to the nursing home to have coffee with Mom and sit with her while she ate her lunch in her room.
Sorry for both of your losses. I lost both my parents within 15 months of each other. I think you lose a piece of yourself when you lose a parent. It will get better as time goes on.
Well hello there ....nice to see you..
Hello, GL! It's good to see your ghostly face around the manor! All is well here. I'm currently reading a lot, watching the Olympics, and playing lots of computer games. It has been gray and rainy in NJ lately, so I'm more than ready for spring.
I am ready for spring too. We've had a cold winter this year. I've been watching the Olympics also. I do more jigsaw puzzling now than reading.
Hi GL - lovely to see you again!! I find myself doing more puzzling than reading too! Just finished a really challenging one and am loathe to pull it up and start a new one. You know the feeling, I am sure!!!
"The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues."
Skeeter! You bought a house! You're having a baby! Details, woman! We want details!
I know you had a crushing blow with a pregnancy, so I simply cannot tell you how happy I am for you! Yippee!
Wow, Skeeter! No wonder we haven't seen you around much! Best wishes to you!

Google Got Rid of Search Results Pages
Countless jokes have been made in the IT world about the perfect place to hide something being page two of Google—just hang out with some IT professionals, and there's a good chance you'll hear it. Unfortunately, Google is making a change to its search results that will make this joke completely irrelevant.
Defining a Zero-Day Exploit
With so many threats out in the world, it's no surprise that some of them target undiscovered vulnerabilities. These types of threats use what are called zero-day exploits to make attempts at your sensitive data and technology infrastructure. What is it about zero-day exploits that you must keep in mind during your day-to-day operations and in planning for the future?
Disney Presents New Tech to Help Re-Age Actors
Have you ever heard of the Uncanny Valley? It's the theory that explains why the human race tends to prefer humanoid robots, but only up to a point, after which we find them unsettling. It's one reason why so many people found the 2019 film Cats bothersome to watch. The Uncanny Valley has also been present in film in recent years, especially when actors who have passed are recreated digitally to make an appearance, or when talent needs to look older or younger than they are.

Conti provided construction services to renovate two air force bases. The team built a one-story central motor wing building, rehabilitated the North Gate entrance, constructed helicopter aprons and runways at one site and performed taxiway renovations at the second.
The motor wing building included reinforced concrete foundation, specialized welded steel framing, flooring, ceilings, electrical and plumbing. When finished, the building stood at 12,379 SF and included 7' exterior reinforced concrete walls.
Conti also installed entrance barriers, two security booths, one security check building and a parking area at the North Gate, and completed renovations that included scraping, paving and painting of one runway and two helicopter aprons.
Conti faced considerable challenges when working on two active MOD bases, including security clearances and logistic issues. Still, the team completed the project on schedule with no interruption to base operations.
Conti benefited the local community by actively pursuing work with local Israeli subcontractors, resulting in nearly 90% of the work performed by the local work force.

Champions League Fire
Two European heavyweights go toe-to-toe in the Champions League semi-final tie as Barcelona and Liverpool battle it out for a place at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
After struggling to go past the quarterfinals for three successive campaigns, the Catalan giants have booked a ticket for the Champions League top four after beating Olympique Lyonnais and Manchester United in the previous two knockout stage rounds.
On the other hand, the Reds have an opportunity to break into their second straight Champions League final after outclassing Bayern Munich and Porto in the last two rounds.
Led by one of the greatest football players ever, Lionel Messi, the Catalans have hammered Manchester United in the quarter-finals, dumping them out of the competition 4-0 on aggregate.
This Champions League campaign's leading goalscorer has already netted ten goals, with two of them coming in the return leg of their quarter-final tie with the Red Devils.
The Argentinean has also registered more attempts on target than any other player in Europe's top-tier competition (20), and it's hard to see Barcelona scoring against Liverpool without Messi's name on the scorecard.
Well aware of Messi's capability in front of goal, Bet365 put him at 61/100 (1.61) to find the net in the first game of this two-legged tie and also offer 13/5 (3.60) on the 31-year-old to draw first blood.
Messi's partner in crime, Luis Suarez, is given 19/20 (1.95) chances of beating Alisson Becker although the Uruguayan striker has so far surprisingly failed to open his goalscoring account in the Champions League this campaign.
Meanwhile, Liverpool also have their own talisman, as Mohamed Salah seems to be rediscovering his 'killer instinct' in the final third. After drawing a blank in six consecutive Premier League games, the Egyptian superstar has bagged three goals in four of his previous top-flight outings for the Reds.
A potential worry for Jurgen Klopp could be that pacey left-footed forward managed just four goals in ten Champions League appearances this term, with only one coming in four knockout stage clashes.
Nonetheless, former AS Roma man is priced at 81/50 (2.62) to hurt Barcelona at Camp Nou, with his fellow offensive colleagues Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane both put at 13/5 (3.60) to place the ball behind Marc-Andre ter Stegen's back.
Considering both sides have devastating firepower on their books, goals should not be in short supply in this fixture. Probably because of the fact the Blaugrana have notched 2+ match goals in four of five Champions League home clashes, Bet365 put them at 61/100 (1.61) to score over 1.5 match goals here. Liverpool will hardly abandon their attacking-minded football, which is why 61/100 (1.61) for both teams to score seems like a reasonable bet. For those who are looking to try their luck with online betting but are yet to gobble much-needed experience, bet 10 get 30 offers could be the right opportunity to save some money but still enjoy playing. Notably improved in the final third over the past few weeks, the Merseysiders have gone from six straight away games in which they've scored one goal or less to five consecutive meetings in which they've bagged at least two. Therefore, 7/4 (2.75) on Liverpool to score two or more in Catalonia could be attractive for the brave ones.
The reigning La Liga holders will be eager to settle the score with the Premier League title fighters following the Champions League elimination back in 2007. It was the last time these two sides have gone head-to-head in the most prestigious European competition, and the Reds have managed to advance to the quarter-finals thanks to the away goal rule after the two-legged tie ended 2-2.
Things have changed drastically ever since, with Barcelona claiming two Champions League titles in last 12 years while Liverpool lost last season's final to Real Madrid (their only CL final since 2007's defeat to AC Milan).
This massive showdown will also have a special meaning for two of Liverpool former stars, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho, who proudly now wear Barca's jersey.
Commenting on the prospect of meeting former mainstays face-to-face, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has said that it will be special for all participants.
"For them [Coutinho and Suarez], for these two boys, it's very special. For us, it's special. They are both Liverpool legends, that's brilliant," the German tactician said.
"But I think it will not be a friendly game so we have to fight, we have to work – they will do it as well."

Fu Manchu: The Terror of Fu Manchu - Collector's Edition
THE TERROR OF FU MANCHU
by William Patrick Maynard
foreword by Dr. Lawrence Knapp
cover by Christine Clavel
"This gruesome murder can only be the work of Dr. Fu Manchu!"
US$39.95/ GBP28.99
6x9 hc w/jacket, 192 pages
ISBN-10: 1-934543-80-1
The death of a seemingly respectable missionary draws Denis Nayland Smith and his devoted companion, Dr. Petrie, back into the web of the diabolical Dr. Fu Manchu. The investigation takes our heroes on a harrowing journey where they cross paths with the Si-Fan, a rival theosophist society and the famous French detective, Gaston Max.
Innocent children dangling above a crocodile pit, living snowmen, and Hell-spawned demons share the stage with mysterious Chinese villains, dastardly French Apaches, powerful sorcerers and refreshingly vulnerable heroes who are still capable of reassessing the values of the British Empire. The clash of Eastern and Western cultures contrasts sharply with the age-old battle between the forces of Good and Evil, as Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie grapple with the fragile truths that rule their world.
A suspenseful thriller that moves rapidly between London and Paris in December 1913, The Terror of Fu Manchu is William Patrick Maynard's first novel. This action-packed thriller is the first authorized Fu Manchu adventure in over twenty years and reintroduces Sax Rohmer's classic characters to a new generation of readers.

Biography Of Brother Will Hairston (Gospel Artist)
Bp-Relate
Brother Will Hairston (November 22, 1919 – March 17, 1988) was an American gospel singer and preacher in Detroit, Michigan, called "The Hurricane of the Motor City" and known for his "startlingly socially conscious" songs of protest in the 1950s and 1960s during the Civil Rights Movement.
Will Hairston was born into a poor farming family in Brookfield, Mississippi, and went to school in the town of Centreville. After both his parents died, he moved to St. Louis and was drafted into the US Army Air Force during World War II. Once the war ended, he married, and moved with his wife to Detroit where he worked in the Chrysler factory on 8 Mile Road. He was a member of the Church of Christ, and made his first recordings for the church in 1955, credited as Brother Will Hairston. His first record was "My God Don't Like It", subsequently re-titled "The Death of Emmet Teal" [sic], commenting on the lynching of fourteen-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi in August 1955.
On later records, Hairston was credited as "The Hurricane of the Motor City", an epithet deriving from a time when, he said: "I was singing spirituals at a church once where the pews were not stationary. After a couple of selections some of the members got happy and began to shout. When the service was over someone mentioned that the church looked as if a hurricane had been through it. The subtitle has stuck since then."
In 1956, Hairston wrote and recorded "The Alabama Bus" for Detroit record store owner Joe Von Battle's J.V.B. label. With Washboard Willie on percussion, the song describes and chronicles the Montgomery bus boycott that followed Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white man. Hairston's recording, described as "emotional" and "gripping", was the first to reference by name Rev. Martin Luther King. The following year, Hairston recorded "Shout School Children", which chronicled the enrollment of nine children at Little Rock Central High School, and subsequent events including the delayed intervention of President Eisenhower. The recording and his later releases were issued on the Knowles record label in Detroit, and were personally sold by Hairston himself.
Hairston returned to the recording studio in 1964, releasing "The Story of President Kennedy", for which he received an appreciative acknowledgement from Jacqueline Kennedy. The following year, in support of the Selma to Montgomery marches, he recorded "March On To Montgomery", again with Washboard Willie and piano accompaniment by Louise Jackson. In 1968 he recorded "The War in Vietnam", and – after Martin Luther King's assassination – "Rev. King Had A Time".
Hairston retired from Chrysler on disability grounds in 1970. In December 1971, he was shot and seriously injured by a white man, but recovered. His final recordings in 1972, with a gospel choir, included "Death Knocked At My Door, Jesus Got the Key", "This May Be My Last Time", and "Minny, Your Dress Too Short", a protestation against miniskirts. Many of his recordings were issued on an LP, Brother Will Hairston: Hurricane of the Motor City.
He died in 1988, aged 68. He was survived by his widow, and eight of their ten children.
