Emily Climbs by L.M. Montgomery
I read the first book in the Emily trilogy, Emily of New Moon, when I was a teenager. Ten years later, I decided I wanted to read the other two, but by that time, I couldn't remember the first very well. So I reread it. And then I stopped again. If that isn't a testament to my inability to finish a series (even ones I love), I don't know what is.
But have you seen the new covers illustrated by Jacqui Oakley (<----)? In spite of my love of books, I'm not a huge book-buyer. But when I saw the new Emily covers, I splurged.
And then I decided it was finally time to read Emily Climbs (and soon, Emily's Quest (how convenient that it's one of my reading goals for 2015)).
This installment chronicles Emily's high school years. Blair Water doesn't have a high school, but Shrewsbury does. Most of Emily's friends (Ilse, Perry, even Teddy) are planning to board in Shrewsbury and attend school there for three years. Emily longs to further her education and go with them, but Aunt Elizabeth is dead set against it. But then suddenly, miraculously, one week before school starts, she relents--on one condition: Emily must give up writing.
Emily is stunned by the request. As much as she wants to go to school, she realizes to give up writing would be as impossible for her as to give up breathing. She would die without it. She knows this, and so she declines the offer.
However, Cousin Jimmy (good ol' Cousin Jimmy!) knows what this opportunity will mean to Emily, and so he acts as mediator between them. He convinces Aunt Elizabeth to be satisfied with Emily only giving up writing fiction, and he convinces Emily to be okay with only writing truth for these three years.
Emily's beloved (but curt) teacher, Mr. Carpenter, thinks this is a good idea and that it will greatly improve Emily's writing . . . and hopefully cure Emily of her excessive use of italics. (After Emily complains to him that he only says disagreeable things, he counters with, "It might be a nice world if nobody ever said a disagreeable thing, but it would be a dangerous one.")
Because of this emphasis on truth, much of the book is made up of entries from Emily's own diary where she diligently tries to give an accurate account of her experiences and the people who take part in them. I loved these sections. They made Emily come to life, and I could see her writing maturing and improving over those three years. However, I found the spacing of these journal sections a little awkward. There wasn't any particular pattern for when they would be inserted, and often they seemed like a means to cover several months in one gulp. But overall, I appreciated them and really found it invaluable in a story about a girl who loves writing and dreams of becoming a writer to get to see examples of her actual writing.
The story itself is rather slow-paced. I found it easy to set it aside and read other books (El Deafo, The Crossover, etc.) in between. But if you could see all my dogeared pages, you'd know that its words still touched me in a multitude of ways. L.M. Montgomery's descriptions are more vivid and real to me than almost any other author's.
And even though it's not a page-turner, it's still filled with so many delightful little scenes. Let me tell you about one of my favorites:
While Emily attends school in Shrewsbury, she boards with her Aunt Ruth, who is even more formidable and disagreeable than Aunt Elizabeth. During her first year there, Emily takes part in a school play, and when Aunt Ruth finds out about it, she is outraged. She calls Emily sly and forbids her to take part in it. But Emily is stubborn and loyal and won't back out at the last minute, so she participates.
When she returns home that evening, she finds all the doors locked. A fiery anger overcomes her, and she decides she is through with Aunt Ruth. No human being can be expected to put up with such abuse for so long. So, in the middle of the night, she walks the seven miles home to New Moon. By luck, Cousin Jimmy is still awake, eating a crockful of doughnuts no less. Of all the people who might have convinced Emily to return to Shrewsbury and continue to endure Aunt Ruth, he's probably the only one who could actually do it. Then at two o'clock in the morning, Emily walks the long road back to Shrewsbury (can you imagine doing such a thing today?!), and, as it turns out, Aunt Ruth is very relieved to see Emily.
I never thought I would like Aunt Ruth (L.M. Montgomery calls her "a rather stupid, stubborn little barnyard fowl trying to train up a skylark"), but even she came through in the end and defended Emily at a critical moment when no one else would have been able to help her. After that, Emily thinks, "I wonder where I put my Jimmy-book. I must add a few more touches to my sketch of Aunt Ruth." By that time, Emily had been living with Aunt Ruth for almost three years and thought she had her pretty well figured out, but this was a great reminder to me that humans (fictional or not) are multi-layered and that usually we make assumptions too quickly.
(Another favorite scene was the dog mix-up between Miss Royal and Emily. That one was so incredibly funny, but I don't want to spoil it since it happens towards the end of the book, but if you've read it, I'd love to talk about it with you.)
It's always a little sad when you don't love the boy who turns out to be the romantic interest, but in this case, I have to admit that I didn't love Teddy (that's part of the reason the Emily books will never surpass the Anne books for me). However, I think he's a perfect fit for Emily, and I really love their timid and slowly unfolding relationship. It's adorable, and so even though I would never want to marry Teddy, I can't help but wish it for Emily.
Although a slow book (I guess slow second books in trilogies were a thing even in 1925), I still really liked this book, and I'm looking forward to the last one.
Have you read the Emily books? Who do you like better--Emily or Anne?

Oh, Amy, now you've made me want to re-read these books. I do love the new covers!
Amy April 2, 2015 at 7:05 AM
I know--aren't they gorgeous?!
Beth April 2, 2015 at 12:43 AM
Everyone finds Teddy to be a drip. I haven't read these books in ten years or more, but I vividly remembered the scene where Ruth locks Emily out when you mentioned it.
Ha! A drip is the perfect way to describe Teddy.
And that's exactly why I write these reviews--so that in ten years, I can read my review and it will spark memories I would have forgotten about otherwise.

I haven't read the Emily books at all. Loved Anne as a kid, but haven't revisited them in adulthood (or even young adulthood). I really should!
I'm like you by the way - book buying tends to be a splurge!
You should definitely read something by L.M. Montgomery this year. If you don't want to commit to the whole Emily trilogy, try Jane of Lantern Hill. Or I'm planning to read The Blue Castle, which is also a standalone of hers.
Melissa (Avid Reader) April 5, 2015 at 7:29 PM
I skipped your summary of the books because I can't wait to read this one. I read and loved the hall and serious and just discovered the Emily series last year when I read the first book. I'm planning on meeting the second this year, I can't wait!
Oh, I loved the Emily series in High School. I loved them way better than the Anne series. Sometimes I wonder how much of my love of writing comes from reading about girls who love writing.

Going grey? Don't mind if you do! Grey is a classic kitchen colour that shows no signs of waning. Choose matte, gloss or mix in another hue to shake things up. Be sure to pay attention to the backsplash, the lighting and the hardware. Here's some inspiration to get you started.
A fetching sheen pervades this hardworking space — count up all of those appliances! — that's heavy on storage, too!

 Is white more your thing? Check out 25 modern white kitchens packed with personality.
Subdued grey cabinetry is a winner in this traditional set-up that sports an edgy island. Yes, mixing in a different colour (in this case, dark wood) is totally allowed — it adds a bit of personality.
Pop in a couple of black factory pendants lights, coordinating black stools and countertops against grey cabinetry and you're on your way to a timeless combo. Break up the monotony of the cabinetry with glass, like in the funky design seen here.
White uppers and grey lowers are an alluring mix — dark cabinets ground the kitchen, providing contrast to the slick countertops. Leaning artwork above is a clever solution for that awkward spot close to the ceiling we're always being told to conceal with cabinets. We salute the defiance!
Be still my beating heart! This lovely grey lady features shaker cabinets, an apron sink and a smattering of stylish hexagon tiles — dark grout really makes the pattern pop! And those faceted farmhouse lights are a divine change from conventional lanterns.
With the right pieces, less is more. Here, an oversized island topped with Caesarstone's Noble Grey looks luxurious in a farmhouse setting. Playful pendants and an abundance of shiplap pull the look together.
An architect? A potter? While you're busy guessing who lives in these swanky quarters, let's enjoy the overload of grey. From Caesarstone's Rugged Concrete surfaces to the grey sidling up the walls, we are loving every minute of this painterly space.
Sure, the designer of this kitchen could have gone all white on the island, but bringing in grey shakes up the digs. An integrated cabinet for cookbooks, C-cup hardware and a flashy countertop are a knockout.
We love that the steel grid on the stools are emphasized thanks to the dark backdrop — grey for the win! Ditto the floating wood shelves against a grey-and-white backsplash.
Quick, get your design board together for the kitchen of your dreams with this combo: shaker cabinets, sleek countertops and hexagon tiles.
What was that you said about grey feeling sombre? In this snazzy kitchen, lots of white balances the grey, lending a lighthearted appeal. Matching cushy stools are a cute choice, wooden legs add warmth.
A spacious kitchen gets the grey treatment with swoon-worthy results. The mix adds personality, so get creative by layering in black, wood, marble and ceramics — miles of subway tile feels tres bistro.
An architectural kitchen is topped with Caesarstone's Georgian Bluffs countertops in white to highlight the sleek banks of grey. A horizontal window offers views for miles. No grey days here!
It's not for everyone, but if high-gloss gets you giddy then choosing grey is a much warmer choice than white. Neatniks, alert! An integrated pot rail keeps everything in its place.
Interior designer Alanna Dunn of Calgary's Reena Sotropa In House Design Group selected this magnificent cement-tile backsplash first, and then chose the grey millwork colour from the tile. She loves the warm undertones in the grey. The black hardware punctuates the large expanse of millwork.
Grey cabinets look fabulous against beautiful natural quartzite stone counters in this kitchen by interior designer Alanna Dunn of Calgary's Reena Sotropa In House Design Group. Hits of gold bring a touch of glam.
You're not going to believe this, but this is a basement kitchen. Ok, so it's not your average subterranean lair. Glass-front cabinets, a herringbone backsplash and an apron sink equal one stunning space. The glitzy chandelier really brightens the digs.
Lynchburg, Virginia-based designer Tera Janelle of Tera Janelle Design created an in-law studio apartment that showcases grey's gorgeousness. (This is a snippet of the stylish studio.) The wood-beam shelves are more than 100 years old and were salvaged during the renovation of the historic home. The detailed metal cabinet-front below the shelves disguises a cold-air return while still allowing adequate airflow.
Kitchens are expensive, so taking a timeless approach is smart. Tera Janelle of Tera Janelle Design devised this classic beauty that showcases shaker cabinets with ceiling moulding for a bespoke feel. Double chandeliers (for glitz), an aztec rug (for warmth) and marble subway (always a good idea) complete the look.
A fun design from Toronto's AyA Kitchens sees stripy cabinets showing off grey's jazzy side. Blanketed in wood, this room is definitely for someone with an adventurous spirit.
Grainy wood meets grey for an edgy and modern feel in this space by Toronto's AyA Kitchens. Note that the top cabinets are panelled while the lowers are flat front. Very cool!
Spacious and stylish, we like the quiet confidence of this all-grey kitchen where an oversized island provides balance to the wraparound cabinetry.
When designing a large kitchen, cohesion is key. Unified grey cabinets feature ceiling moulding for a finished look. Dual seating areas is a smart idea. Enjoy breakfast at the island, and the rest of the meals at the table.
Deep grey plays against black for a sophisticated kitchen by Calgary-based Nyla Free Designs. Inky black — on the countertops, window mullions and lighting (oh the lighting!) — are a bold departure from convention that pays off. Ditto patterned seats.

CDC Chief: 'Masks More Guaranteed' to Protect Against Virus than Vaccine
U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations
Edwin Mora
16 Sep 2020 Washington, DC
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield told a Senate panel on Wednesday that face masks are better at protecting against the coronavirus disease than a potential vaccine.
During a hearing on the federal response to COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) hosted by the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, Dr. Redfield testified:
I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine because the immunogenicity [ability to provoke an immune response] may be 70 percent. And if I don't get an immune response, the vaccine is not going to protect me. This face mask will.
The director of the CDC, a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), failed to cite any data to support his mask claim.
Redfield's comments came in reply to Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) asking whether President Donald Trump was "undercutting" health officials' message that wearing a mask is one of the most important steps that Americans can take to defend themselves and the country against COVID-19.
The CDC director also said in responding:
I am not going to comment directly about the president but I am going to comment as the CDC director that face masks, these face-masks are the most important powerful public health tool we have ,and I will continue to appeal for all Americans, all individuals in our country to embrace these face coverings.
I have said it, if we did it for six, eight, ten, 12 weeks, we'd bring this pandemic under control… We have clear scientific evidence they work, and they are our best defense.
Several Trump administration health officials have said they are "cautiously optimistic" a vaccine will be available by the end of this year or early 2021.
"I think there will be a vaccine that initially will be available sometime between November and December but very limited supply and will have to be prioritized," Redfield testified.
He indicated that "first responders and those at greatest risk for death" would get the vaccine first before most other U.S. citizens who will likely receive it around summer or early autumn 2021.
There are no guarantees that there will be a safe and effective vaccine, mainly since there are no immunizations against any coronaviruses in humans.
The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) has warned that there may never be a "silver bullet" for the lethal and contagious disease.
Nevertheless, there is a global race for developing a COVID-19 vaccine, with the W.H.O. monitoring 35 candidates in clinical and 145 in the pre-clinical evaluation as of September 9.
There are seven candidates in the United States, including at least three in the final stage of the three-phase clinical trial process in the United States alone.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration unveiled a sweeping plan to make the coronavirus vaccine available for free to all Americans.
There is a healthy dose of skepticism about a potential vaccine's safety among Americans, some polls have shown.
According to experts, around 70 percent of Americans must get vaccinated or have immunity from surviving the disease to achieve highly-coveted "herd immunity" — the point at which the virus can no longer spread widely.
As part of the multi-billion dollar Operation Warp Speed, often described as an "unprecedented" effort, the federal government, in partnership with the private sector, is working to deliver a safe and effective vaccine in record time.

The Wild West- John "liver eating" Johnson
Tom Knuppel History
John "Liver-Eating" Johnson (born circa 1824 and died 1900)
Rumors, legends, and campfire tales abound about Johnson. Perhaps chief among them is this one: In 1847, his wife, a member of the Flathead American Indian tribe, was killed by a young Crow brave and his fellow hunters, which prompted Johnson to embark on a vendetta against the tribe. The legend says that he would cut out and eat the liver of each man killed. This was an insult to Crow because the Crow believed the liver to be vital if one was to go on to the afterlife. In any case, he eventually became known as "Liver-Eating Johnson". The story of how he got his name was written down by a diarist at the time.
One tale ascribed to Johnson ,while other sources ascribe it to Boone Helm, was of being ambushed by a group of Blackfoot warriors in the dead of winter on a foray to sell whiskey to his Flathead kin, a trip that would have been over five hundred miles. The Blackfoot planned to sell him to the Crow, his mortal enemies, for a handsome price. He was stripped to the waist, tied with leather thongs and put in a teepee with only one, very inexperienced guard. Johnson managed to break through the straps, then knocked out his young guard with a kick, took his knife and scalped him, then quickly cut off one of his legs. He made his escape into the woods, surviving by eating the Blackfoot's leg.

We gain information about the world through our senses, but how does the brain decode this information? A recent study by O'Connor et al. addresses this question using one of neuroscientists' sneakier techniques: virtual reality. Along the way, the authors further shed light on how attention effects perception.
Using the mouse somatosensory barrel cortex as a model, the authors bring circuit-level resolution to the question of sensory coding. Mice were trained to detect the location of a vertical pole using their whiskers and report whether it appeared in the "YES" location or the "NO" location, a task which the animals solved by selectively whisking around the YES location and simply determining whether or not an object was present. The brain could decode the resultant cortical activity in one of two ways: by determining the location of the whisker when contact occurred, based on timing of spikes, or by using patterns of activity that differ with object location – in this case, a pole in the center of the whisking area, the YES location, would contact the whisker more frequently and with greater force, thus driving more activity, than would an object in the more eccentric NO location. So, is it spike timing or spike number that the mouse brain is listening to?
Enter virtual reality. An infrared beam was used as a virtual pole and coupled to a photodiode such that a whisker "contacting" the virtual pole triggered photostimulation to barrel cortex; animals expressed channelrhodopsin in barrel cortex excitatory neurons, so each virtual contact drove activity in the barrel through this closed-loop system. With the virtual pole placed next to the YES location, animals still performed well in YES trials, but in NO trails were biased toward incorrectly reporting the presence of a pole in the YES location; that is, the virtual pole was able to trick mice into perceiving a an object in the YES position.
This system allowed the authors to selectively tweak spike timing or spike number. Altering the delay at which activity followed virtual contact had no effect on the ability to fool mice with the virtual pole, suggesting that spike timing was not the critical factor. Conversely, when channelrhodopsin was expressed in inhibitory neurons so that virtual pole contact reduced barrel cortex activity, the mice were less likely to perceive a pole in the YES position even when it was present. Thus increasing spiking made animals more likely perceive an object in the YES location and decreasing spiking made them less likely to, indicating that it's spike number upon which the brain makes its decision.
The effects of the virtual pole were strongly gated by attention. Stimulation in a barrel not corresponding to the whisker in use failed to alter perception; it seems that while learning the task, mice tuned in to the active whisker and learn to ignore activity in other barrels. Furthermore, mice were only tricked if stimulation occurred while they were actively whisking, suggesting circuit level differences between intentional exploration of the world and passively received stimuli.
Investigators have used stimulation to alter animals' perceptions for decades, but modern approaches allow targeting of specific cell populations; in this case restricting stimulation to excitatory or inhibitory neurons in layer 4 of an individual cortical barrel. In a 2009 review, several authors of the present study advocated a reverse engineering approach focusing on activity patters in specific cell types and their role in behavior (O'Connor, Huber, & Svoboda, 2009). The present study demonstrates the power of such an approach to advance our understanding of complex neural processes at the level of cortical circuits.


I upgraded to a Vortech SC yesterday.

Hey I already have this intake and desperately need the hydro shield, but have no idea which one is the one for this intake, which one did you have?
I just saw your post. I'm really sorry but I mailed eveything out yesterday to Raybrant.

What would Jane Austen have Tweeted?
… Sarah Milstein (of programming mavens O'Reilly wondered aloud on the O'Reilly Radar blog recently.
Austen wrote more than 3,000 letters, many to her sister Cassandra. They corresponded constantly, starting new letters to each other the minute they finished the last one and sharing the minutia of their lives. From reading Austen's novels, I'd always assumed that people in her era spent a long time waiting for the mail. But the show mentions that during Austen's life, mail in London and environs was delivered six times a day. Sometimes, a letter sent in the morning was delivered the same evening. Which makes snail mail sound a lot more like email or twitttering.

Q: Does the number of classes in the target variable affect the accuracy of a classification model? From my own experience, I noticed that the accuracy of a classification model inversely changed with the number of classes in the target variable. That is, the more number of classes in the dependent variable, the lower the model's accuracy. I don't know whether that change was caused by the number of classes or by the imbalances between them (although oversampling technique did help improve the model's performance a bit). I assume that because a larger number of classes leads to a smaller difference of probabilities between them, thus it is harder for a model to "confidently" determine the exact class.
Is there a more concrete theoretical basis to explain the observation above?

A: The easiest way to understand what accuracy "means" wrt. the number of classes is by considering a random baseline. Tossing a coin gives you 1/K accuracy where K is the number of classes. So 50% for 2 classes, but just 10% for 10, and just 1% for 100.
This shows that "60%" accuracy "means more" if you have more classes: a binary classifier with 60% accuracy is almost random, but achieving 60% accuracy for 100 classes is godlike (assuming the classes are relatively balanced).

Lo stadio Alberto José Armando, noto come la Bombonera, è uno impianto sportivo di Buenos Aires, situato nel quartiere La Boca. È lo stadio nel quale gioca la squadra del . Ha una capienza di  posti a sedere.

Il suo soprannome è dovuto al commento di uno dei suoi progettisti, José Delpini, che, una volta terminata la costruzione dell'impianto, paragonò l'opera a una scatola di bombones, cioccolatini, quelli che aveva ricevuto in regalo il giorno dell'inaugurazione.

Storia

Nel 1932 il progettista José Delpini, in équipe con gli architetti Viktor Sulčič e Raul Bes, vinse il concorso per la realizzazione del nuovo impianto del Boca, ispirato ai canoni del razionalismo italiano, ed in particolare all'Artemio Franchi di Firenze, il cui progetto era in esposizione proprio in quel periodo nella capitale argentina. Lo stadio fu inaugurato il 25 maggio 1940 con una partita amichevole tra Boca Juniors e San Lorenzo, terminato col punteggio di 2-0 in favore dei padroni di casa, mentre il primo incontro ufficiale si disputò il 2 giugno quando il Boca Juniors affrontò il Newell's Old Boys vincendo sempre per 2-0. Nel 1949 iniziò la costruzione dell'ultima parte dello stadio, che terminò nel 1952, quando fu completato il terzo anello di gradinate. Infine, lo stadio venne fornito dell'illuminazione artificiale.
Nel 1996 si assistette a un grande rinnovamento dello stadio che restrinse la capienza originaria di 60.000 posti fino a 57.395, complice la demolizione dei palchi originari per venir sostituiti da una nuova tribuna sormontata da 130 nuovi palchi, più ampi e con una visibilità migliore. Quattro anni più tardi fu inaugurato il Museo de la pasiòn boquense, dove è possibile ammirare tutti i trofei della storia del club argentino. Nel 2002 infine fu dato l'attuale nome all'impianto, fino ad allora chiamato Estadio Camilo Cichero, nome di un altro presidente del Boca.

Nel 2019 sono stati presentati progetti per la sua ristrutturazione d'ampliamento, miglioramento ed adeguamento agli standard di massimo confort possibile per gli spettatori, che comprendono anche la copertura completa degli spalti. Secondo i video Working progresses, verrebbero abbattuti gli spalti del lato sopra la Calle del Valle Iberlucea e sostituiti col nuovo settore a gradinate a tre anelli collegati ed uniformati a quelli già presenti, il tutto sormontato da una copertura trasparente fotovoltaica, da formare così un catino, a perfetta forma di Bombonera dai colori sociali Azul y Oro. Per ottenere lo spazio per costruire la nuova tribuna a tre anelli sono previsti l'acquisto di 19 lotti dei terreni retrostanti oltre la calle del Valle Iberlucea, ove impiantare le fondazioni per la costruzione delle gradinate e la conseguente copertura della stessa Valle Iberlucea per tutta la lunghezza necessaria. Quest'arteria diventerà così sovrastata, ad altezza adeguata ed utile allo scorrimento del traffico, dalla stessa tribuna e riqualificata con nuove attività commerciali ed uffici, incorporati sotto la struttura stessa, nonché una nuova area-polmone verde, di parcheggi e percorso con fermate per i mezzi pubblici. A seconda dei progetti, la capacità della nuova Bombonera sarà da  ad  posti a sedere.

Museo Boca

Il Museo de la pasiòn boquense fu aperto nel 2001 durante la presidenza di Mauricio Macri. Situato nello stadio, sotto le gradinate, è edificato su due piani.

Contiene una ricca hall of fame e un grande murales di Diego Armando Maradona. Vi è esposta anche una chitarra gialloblu con cui Lenny Kravitz, che la fece costruire per l'occasione, suonò nella Bombonera nel 2005.

Nel 2011 fu inaugurata una statua gigante di Martín Palermo, primatista di presenze nella storia del club. Vi sono anche statue di Maradona, Juan Román Riquelme, Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Ángel Clemente Rojas, Silvio Marzolini e Antonio Rattín.

Nell'ottobre 2016 fu inaugurata una statua di Carlos Bianchi, allenatore capace di vincere 9 titoli alla guida del club, (nel periodo 1998-2003 e 2013-2014), un record. Sotto la sua gestione la squadra ottenne inoltre una striscia di 40 partite consecutive senza sconfitte, la migliore nella storia del calcio professionistico argentino (dal 1931 a oggi).

Blackpool got another 90 minutes under their belt but played out a largely unforgettable goalless draw with Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park.
Gary Bowyer's men came the closest against the Vanarama Conference side when Kyle Vassell struck the foot of the post after the break.
21 players were used by The Seasiders who also had Brad Potts and Jim McAlister come close, as the League Two campaign creeps closer.
The first chance fell to the hosts, but after James Norwood had raced clear his effort was turned behind for a corner by the feet of Sam Slocombe.
Winger Jake Kirby was next to have a pop, but his long-range effort flew straight at the Pool stopper.
Blackpool's first opening came from a Danny Pugh corner but when the ball fell to Colin Daniel the winger sliced his effort and the chance was gone.
Bowyer's side continued to grow into the game and when Danny Philliskirk found Potts, the midfielder's ambitious volley tested Scott Davies.
At the other end Slocombe got down low to deny Kirby, while McAlister wasted a golden opportunity for The Seasiders when he blazed wide.
With the game hitting a bit of a lull, Tranmere's Lois Maynard attempted to lift the tempo but again Slocombe was equal to his effort.
Four minutes before the break a quick turn and shot by Vassell had Davies worried for a moment but it flashed wide.
Right on the stroke of half-time Maynard headed over for the hosts as the two sides went in for the break level.
After the break Blackpool improved but it was Slocombe called into action first, flying through the air to deny Kirby.
From the resulting corner the goalkeeper reacted well to keep out a flick from Michael Ihiekwe.
A foul on Colin Daniel then presented Vassell with a dead ball opportunity but the striker fired over the bar.
The striker came much closer with his next attempt, beating Davies but not his near post.
Substitute Adam Mekki was causing problems to The Seasiders and when he was upended by McAlister he should have done better with the resulting free-kick.
72 minutes in Bowyer rang the changes, bringing on ten fresh faces to shuffle his hand.
Moments later substitute goalkeeper Kyle Letheren did well to adjust and turn Lee Vaughan's cross over the bar.
The Welshman was at it again soon after, as his pushed away a volley from Norwood.
That proved to be the final action of the game as it finished goalless.

According to the theories of secularisation, modernity is inexorably accompanied by a decline of all that is sacred, a decline that is inversely proportional to increased progress, to the spreading of education and to processes involving urbanisation and industrialisation. To the extent that it indicates a loss of the churches' influence over individuals, secularisation can be identified with the concept of de-Christianisation; one part of theology however has on the contrary interpreted this as a rendering true Christianity, as the valorisation of humankind that has last "grown up" (Bonhoeffer) called upon once again to its responsibility as a believer.
It was above all F. Gogarten who developed the persuasion that secularisation was the mature and coherent result of Biblical and Christian faith, overturning the dominant trend in Christian churches that sees in it the root of the evils afflicting the church and the contemporary world. The theses on the inevitability of secularisation have however been questioned in recent years by a number of scholars, according to whom not only the United States or non-western countries but even Europe is characterised by a phenomenon involving a return to religion, with a considerable rise in the number of believers.
On this subject the German sociologist Klaus Eder coined the terminology "post-secular society", with which he exposed the paradox of the rise of religious communication in the society of communication, resulting in its greater visibility in public areas. This visibility increases with changes in religious institutions, with increased media mobilisation and identity movements. According to Eder, the idea of a secular Europe is therefore entirely up for discussion, religiosity acquires a stronger presence, recognisable and pervasive although accompanied by less organised phenomena and with fewer bonds of belonging.
The word "post-secular" was repeated by the philosopher Jurgen Habermas and by Pope Benedict XVI, according to whom it indicates a dimension of social and cultural life in which an effort is made to reciprocally translate and understand secular language as a religious one, on one hand, and on the other attempting to understand what others say in their own languages even when unable to translate it as they should; it means starting with rescinding the bond that links modernisation and disenchantment, it means closing with the postulate that makes progress indisputably coincide with secularisation.
As Francesco Saverio Trincia wrote, "post-secular" is a philosophy that "proves itself capable of reactivating the path moving in the opposite direction from mundane knowledge and from the saeculum in general, to once again come into contact with the "other" universe of religious faith. This path is "inverted" compared to the "descending" process in which secularisation consists, during which, using Habermas words "forms of religious thoughts and life are replaced by rational equivalents that are however superior"".

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope Review for PS4, Xbox...
by David Porter
Ghost Of Tsushima: Complete Walkthrough To The Prologue
Omori Walkthrough Gameplay Guide: Part Thirty-Seven
Watch Dogs Legion Review: PS4 Gold Steelbook Edition Included
PS4, Reviews, Watch Dogs Legion
If you've never played Watch Dogs before, it's all about third-person video games within an open world. It now becomes a bit of the protagonist's playground. Thanks to the possibility of hacking the environment.
From light signals to alarms and roadside traps, the first series introduced this premise. Yet, it was the sequel that led to a more exciting story.
Now, Watch Dogs Legion escapes from San Francisco to settle in London. It is where constant conflicts and fights between civilians occur, shedding blood almost as a daily routine. DedSec, the group of hackers from the first two series, will be in charge of fighting them to protect civilians.
But the funny thing is that it is not just a protagonist, as it usually happens. Now, anyone can join the resistance, and be the protagonist at that moment for the player.
Anyone Inside Watch Dogs Legion Can Be a Protagonist
It sounds quite curious, but it is the reality that we saw in our time with the demo. It was set during the night, while a player-controlled character walked through a bar looking for recruits.
The ability to see the names and additional information of the people around us is still present. But now, it also shows their skills. Some may be stronger but have less life than the rest, while others are experts in hacking and not so much in brute force.
Watch Dogs Legion Albion Station Kennington
Depending on how much trust you have with that person around DedSec, we will have to do additional assignments for them and thus finish convincing them. One of the examples Ubisoft gave us of this is when we damage an enemy instead of killing him. DedSec is also a potential member of our group in the future, but trying to convince them will be an even more difficult task.
Then, we got to see the new screens that are part of the inventory interface and character menus. Now, all the characters we recruit in Watch Dogs Legion appear on a single screen, where we can see even more personal details, from age to their stories and backgrounds.
And how do we go about switching between them? We just pick one, and we'll take over in no time. Furthermore, you can also see them from the city map doing different activities.
It's just a matter of choosing them freely. Also, the exciting thing is that if we ever need extra support on the streets, we can switch between characters on the go.
Watch Dogs: Legion Gameplay
The gameplay remains quite similar to Watch Dogs 2, but some additions felt lacking in the previous title. It is a pleasure that the developer has heard the feedback.
The most important thing was undoubtedly being able to use non-lethal firearms, which only cause a shock to the characters and send them to the hospital. It's still just as brutal, sure, but the option of not having to murder left and right is more than welcome.
Watch Dogs Legion GamePlay
In the previous title, the protagonists were presented as a gang of young people specialized in hacking and causing vandalism. But during the missions, we had to use firearms with almost no other option than melee attacks, exposing ourselves to projectiles from everywhere.
Then, we could see more changes regarding the gadgets that will be available. Among them, there is a robotic spider that, in addition to giving us the possibility of sneaking through ventilation ducts or smaller places, can also damage an enemy that is approaching us.
We can also use turrets that cover our backs while we are hacking. Also, there are some larger drones that can lift objects, and we can even climb on them while we pilot them. We can drop bombs or boxes on enemies from the air.
Without a doubt, the recruitment and the possibility of embodying absolutely all civilians in Watch Dogs Legion are the most ambitious we have heard in years, but something raises doubts. Ubisoft said that they are working on giving life to all these people, each one with their own voice and even ways of reacting to the missions we do.
Watch Dogs Legion Characters
Also, the protagonists who die cannot be brought back to life from a checkpoint but will stay that way forever. According to them, they want to take this even further, with close characters remembering death sometime later.
The potential to be something different is here before our eyes. But at the moment, we do not know how accurate this vision is going to be when we are in the game, and if it will not become repetitive over time.
For now, Watch Dogs Legion has a lot of styles, an interesting premise, and multiplayer modes in which we can carry out side activities with friends like painting street art. It only remains to wait until next year to learn more about it.
Watch Dogs: Legion Launch Date
On June 5, 2019, Ubisoft denied the launch of Watch Dogs: Legion via Twitter before its E3 2019 announcement, which originally announced its release date as of March 6, 2020. At that time, the company said it would be available in Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia.
Recently, Ubisoft revealed that the game would be delayed until an unspecified date in the fiscal year of 2021, which at least April 1, 2020. However, the PS5 and Xbox X versions are going to launch in late October 2020.

I write about video games, television, movies and the internet.
Ava Larsson says:
Interesting that the protagonists can't be brought back to life. Watch Dogs Legion looks like a solid game overall though, but it would be cool if you could fully customize your own character!
Always great when the game developer takes criticism and turns it into something better, i.e. Watch Dogs Legion!
