2020's Most Impressive Quarantine Body Transformations
12/10/2020 Comments Off on 2020's Most Impressive Quarantine Body Transformations
Turns out not everyone is putting on the quarantine 15. Some stars are taking advantage of their time in isolation amid the coronavirus pandemic to get in shape and transform their bodies into healthy temples.
The extended time away from events and socializing has given several stars including Kelly Osbourne, Rebel Wilson, Tiffany Haddish and Steve Kazee time to focus on their health journeys.
Wilson recently achieved her weight goal of 165 pounds amid her self-proclaimed "Year of Health," dropping more than 60 pounds thanks to a holistic approach to diet and exercise. Other stars like Haddish and Kazee have focused on muscle tone and getting back in shape.
Here are the biggest quarantine transformations of 2020:
Before quarantine began, the 40-year-old Australian actress announced that 2020 was going to be her "Year of Health" in January. She's kept her promise, working out and eating right. In May, she revealed that her goal weight was 165 pounds and in late November announced that she had achieved her goal and shed more than 60 pounds.
To achieve this goal, Wilson shared that she works out six days a week and keeps her diet under 1,500 calories a day.
"If I want to lose weight in that week, I have to stay under 1,500 each day," she said on Instagram Live. "Now I'm going into more of a maintenance phase so it might be more like 2,000, 2,500 because I do workout like a beast, so I can eat a bit more now that I've hit my goal weight."

The 36-year-old TV personality and daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne revealed on Instagram that she's dropped 85 pounds.
"I guess what I'm doing is intermittent fasting if you really think about it. I get up, I have coffee and then I juice until nighttime. And then I have, like, one meal and then I go to bed," she told ET of her regimen back in March.
"I have so much energy, it's crazy," Osbourne continued. "I feel like I'm bouncing off the walls. My body's like, 'How is it you get in quarantine and you're, like, suddenly, like, becoming, like, a fitness guru, and have more energy and are happier than you were before quarantine?' I don't know, it's the weirdest thing."
Osbourne later admitted to undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, discussing the procedure on The Talk.
"I did one year of therapy before I committed to doing the surgery I did, which was the gastric sleeve," she explained. "I did the gastric sleeve almost three years ago. So when I say it's not a quick fix, it's not a quick fix. You have to eat right, you have to work out, you have to do everything that you would normally do. It's just a gentle nudge in the right direction of just completely changing your life and your habits and becoming the person you were always born to be."

The 44-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star first showcased her 30-pound weight loss in November after putting on weight "in front of millions of people on a reality TV show." And the Bravo star has kept up the hard work. "I used to think you had to starve yourself and workout hours a day to see actual results," she wrote on a before-and-after workout post. "When I changed my mindset, that's when the results came and they are STILL COMING!"

Ross Mathews
The TV host revealed that he had dropped 50 pounds since June, "when I decided to reclaim my health after my mom died." He added that his current weight is 70 pounds down from his all-time highest, but did note that he will "always be a work in progress."

Marissa Jaret Winokur
In September, the Hairspray star shared that she had dropped 50 pounds in six months after she learned she was at a "high risk" for having a serious case of COVID-19. "I thought, Covid isn't over we are all sitting ducks maybe I could inspire someone ANYONE to chose to fight!" she wrote at the time. "Forget how amazing this dress looks I haven't had asthma in months. My anxiety is at an all time high, because you know the country is such a mess. The hour or two a day I focus on working out my sadness turns to productive energy, so that I don't watch the news and bury my head, but try to help our situation."

The 41-year-old comedian and actress has spent her quarantine focusing on her health. In early December, she shared with People that she's shed 40 pounds after exercising every single day.
"I had this thought in my mind that I want the body of Flo-Jo!" she told the magazine. "I've been eating differently, eating way more vegetables, definitely eating directly out of my garden and just really putting in the work, making sure I sweat every single day and staying up on nutrition – nutrition is everything. And I try to dance every day for like five to 10 minutes. I think that's really important, too: Make it fun!"

As he prepared to get back in the ring, the 54-year-old famed boxer showed off his 100-pound weight loss during a Good Morning America interview in late November.
"I became a vegan. My wife told me to get on a treadmill. I went from 15 minutes on the treadmill and ended at two hours," he said of his weight loss routine.

A post shared by Mike Tyson (@miketyson)
The 31-year-old cookbook author revealed that she had shed 35 pounds after stepping up her fitness game in quarantine.
"Get yourself some simple equipment, such as two and three-pound weights; resistance bands; a good, cushy mat; and a bench or chair," Steph Curry's wife advised when talking to Yahoo Canada Lifestyle. "I'm very into body weight, so I don't need much, equipment-wise."
When it comes to diet, Curry said that it's all about portions for her.
"I'm really into portion control over any kind of diet, and try to stick to nourishing, delicious food in moderation," she shared. "I keep track of the food I'm putting into my body through the Fitbit app on my phone, and the calories toward my daily goal are at a glance on my watch."

Peter Facinelli
The 47-year-old Twilight actor lost 30 pounds and was loving his new look so much that he showed it off in a sexy shirtless underwear pic to help promote Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
"Everything's kind of shut down right now and I wanted to focus on myself," Facinelli told People. "So I did a lot of meditating, a lot of reading and a lot of growing personally and just wanted to physically see if I could get as physically fit as I could."
He also shared that he's now in "better shape than I've ever been," and attributes his success to eliminating sugar and refraining from ordering takeout.

The 37-year-old rapper and chef has dropped 127 pounds in quarantine. He's been sharing his intense fitness routine on Instagram. In November, Bronson revealed that he now weighs 248 pounds after starting out at 375 pounds. He also took to the gym on Thanksgiving morning, declaring, "No days off!"
He also started eating healthier, recently appearing in the Hot Ones challenge and being the first star to use grilled chicken.

Art Smith
The 60-year-old chef to the stars and cookbook author started getting in shape before quarantine began and used his success to host the Instagram Live show Healthy Comfort Cooking to encourage healthier eating from his fans. While in quarantine, Smith shed 70 pounds with the help of rugby player Lucas Cancelier.
"If you want to enjoy eating, you have to enjoy train(ing). You train 30 minutes in your house and you can enjoy it. You make it normal," Cancelier told Today. "A lot of people are scared about starting to exercise, so I'm trying to teach simple exercise(s). I do three or four workouts, each one is four to six minutes. If you don't finish one, no problem. And when you finish one, you can do the next one!"

The proud mom recently revealed that she has dropped 68 pounds since welcoming her second child two years ago.
"I'm very proud that I did it my way and in my time," the 42-year-old actress wrote on Instagram. "I didn't feel rushed to snap back. I enjoyed breast feeding and spending quality time with #cairo and my son #cree. To all the women who are feeling pressured after birth. Do YOU! Do what makes YOU proud and do it in YOUR time. Not anyone else's. ❤"

Steve Kazee
After becoming a first-time dad, the 45-year-old Broadway star and fiancé of Jenna Dewan decided to get in shape for the sake of his infant son, Callum. He dropped 18 pounds after recently weighing 227 pounds.
"I knew something had to be done," the actor wrote on Instagram, admitting that he's struggled with body image for most of his life. "Having my son has really put the focus on being the healthiest version of myself for now and for the future. For the first time I have made wholesale changes to my life. Gone are processed foods and sugars, unhealthy fats and carbs, and blood sugar spiking desserts. I have focused myself on a workout regimen and meal plan that suits me and keeps me energized for workouts and I was lucky to find @fightcamp and @swensonboxing in this pandemic to help me achieve these goals."

Matroska FAQ
Listed below are the most common questions asked about Matroska.
Q: What is matroska? I dont understand what a 'container format' is at all, is it a player, or a audio/video compression format ?
A: Whenever you play a movie it includes at least one video stream and one audio stream. Since its not practicle to have 2 files to play Audio/Video, you pack both into a single file by using a so-called container format file. This container and the software coming with it take care of a lot of important functions, like the correct timing of the audio and video playback when the file is played ( opened ). ZIP or RAR could be a perfect container to pack one or more audio/video streams together into one single file for distribution, but WinZIP certainly wouldnt care about the correct timing of the these streams on playback ... Known containers are the good old AVI, or the MPEG container ( .mpg , .mpeg ), Quicktime ( .mov ), Realmedia ( .rm ), MP4 ( .mp4 ), etc.
Matroska is an opensource alternative to all of them, and is able to offer a lot of features that others dont have have.
Q: What are the advantages of matroska compared to AVI ?
A: The AVI container was originally introduced by Microsoft in the early 90s, and was designed as a very flexible A/V container format for the video and audio compression formats of those days. It is necessary to understand that AVI is only one ( but important ) part of a complete multimedia framework called 'Video For Windows' ( VfW ), offering programmers not only a container but also a complete set of API commands to be able to program their own video and audio codecs, using either the VfW or the ACM interface ( this was back from the days when Microsoft was still dedicated to sell their operating systems to people, instead of multimedia solutions as they are trying to do today with WMV, so they had to make their OS attractive to other programmers ).
Unfortunately this VfW framework cannot support many of the more advanced features that modern audio and video compression formats will offer, such as Variable Bitrate audio encoding ( VBR ), or Variable Framerate video encoding ( VFR ). Although AVI was extended with an additional standard called 'Open DML AVI' in the mid/late 90s, overcoming most of its very annoying limitations like the 2 GB file size limit, there is still no proper and spec compliant way to support modern compression formats like the excellent, opensource Ogg Vorbis audio compression format.
Matroska has overcome all those limitations and can support all known audio and video compression formats by design. To make sure it will also be capable of coping with the future standards it is based on a very flexible underlying framework called EBML, allowing to add more functionalities to the container format without breaking backwards compatibility with older softwares and files.
Q: What file extensions does Matroska use?
A: We currently have 4 different extensions specified :
.mkv : Used for Video files, as well those containing audio (movies) or video only
.mka : Used for audio only files, can contain any supported audio compresion format, such as MP2, MP3, Vorbis, AAC, AC3, DTS, or PCM
.mk3d : For files with stereoscopic (3D) video
.mks :Used for Subtitles that an 'elementary' matroska stream
Q: How can i create Matroska files ?
A: You can reencode an existing source with FFmpeg or the more user friendly Handbrake. You can also 'transmux' an existing AVI, MP4 or TS file. This option is a lossless process, all the audio and video data in the source file will be read from it, and packed into a matroska file in a spec compliant way, but basically stay unaltered to avoid any degradation of quality. There are currently 2 different tools to do this ( look here for the announcement of their latest versions ), but the list keeps on growing.
Moritz Bunku's mkvmerger is a command line based matroska muxer that can be run on Windows, Linux and OS X. It also does accept AVI and OGM on its input, as well as AC3, AAC, Vorbis, DTS, MP3, MP2 and PCM audio.
In VirtuldubMod ( starting from 1.5.1.1a ) all you have to do is to open your AVI or OGM file, set 'video' to 'direct stream copy', goto 'file' 'save as ...' and select '.mkv' from the file type dropdown list and rename it. Of course, this doesnt make much sense if you dont have any plans to add something to the file that AVI or OGM cannot support, like adding another audio track in an unsupported audio compression format.
From VirtualdubMod you can also directly encode into .mkv files from any source that it can open, and using every available VfW and ACM codecs, even in 2 pass mode.
Q: How can i play Matroska files on my PC ?
A: On the download page you will always find the link to the very latest DirectShow parser filter, that way you will be able to play your .mkv files on a DirectShow based player such as Windows Mediaplayer. For Linux PCs, as well as for MacOSX and the X-Box emulation you have to get the newest version of VLC or mplayer. On OS X you can also install Perian which will add Matroska support in Quicktime.
Q: What is the advantage of using the .mka file instead of the original audio formats, like mp2, mp3 etc?
A: You can embed lyrics or transcriptions (e.g. from srt subtitles) in the audio file. You can use chapters to separate parts of a track or a live album. In some case (MP3, AC3, DTS) the Matroska file may also be smaller than the original with much better/cleaner seeking support.
Here are some reasons that placing audio in MKA is useful:
1. The tags will be the same no matter what audio format you use. That means that if you write a program to read back tags, it only has to read them from one type of tagging system, no matter what type of audio is being used.
2. All tracks to a CD can be in a single file. You have the option of dividing the tracks into seperate Tracks, or seperate Chapters. You could make your own compilation in a single file, even using different audio formats, such as MP3 and Vorbis.
3. If you write a program to read audio of of MKA, then you don't need to understand how the framing works in the different formats because it is already done for you in Matroska.
4. It is easy to delete portions of the audio without reencoding because you just throw away those blocks. You don't even have to be able to play that format back, you could edit by just knowing timecodes.
5. Detecting differences between two audio streams would be easy because you could store both in a single file, start playback, and then just switch between tracks.
6. If you intend to combine the audio with video, then having is in MKA means you can merge it with an MKV, even if the application doesn't support the audio type.
7. In the case of MP3, MP2 AC3 and even some AAC, using "compressed headers" the MKA file may even be smaller than the original "raw" file, without losing any bit of information.
Q: Will my .mkv files be compatible with future Matroska software if i will use current tools to mux my files?
A: The files being created now are spec compliant.
Q: Will there be a perfomance hit for storing audio/video in Matroska?
A: No, even though its more complex to read/write MKV than it is AVI you can't tell a difference when reading back a file from AVI or MKV on today's processors, even on smartphones ( see CorePlayer ).
Q: What makes Matroska better (worse?) than an ogg media container (.ogm)?
A: It's less a matter of better/worse, and more a matter of different. This is a little complex but we will try to explain.
First Ogg is not the same thing as Ogm. Ogg is an RFC spec now, and is very useful for what it was designed for, streaming over lossy links, and Ogm is an implementation of Ogg placing other 'things' inside.
So, we have:
1. Designed for "lossy"streaming (over UDP).
2. Designed to hold Vorbis and other Xiph-supported audio & video codecs.
3. Well documented for above two purposes.
1. Implementation of Ogg to hold video, other audio codecs, and a type of subtitle.
2. Implements Chapter support.
1. Designed to hold any type of codec. (Audio, Video, Subtitle, etc)
2. Designed for editability.
3. Purposely flexible design.
4. Well documented portions, others in process.
5. Initial design is to support presentation container features such as Chapters, Tags, AudioGain, Menus, etc.
Will Matroska be streamable? Yes, but low bitrate streaming like streaming Vorbis, will always be better in Ogg. This is because their design is for different purposes.

Have you noticed how many liberals have described Pres. Trump as a racist? It's all they have in their arsenal. You can always tell when liberals are out of ammunition in an argument. They play the race card. Their protesting about race is a prime indicator that they do not have the best interest of their fellow-blacks in view.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Gold State Warriors have decided that whichever team wins the 7-game series will not be going to the White House. Why? Because the vast majority of players in the NBA are black, and, well, Trump is a racist.
The Philadelphia Eagle Super Bowl winners is another example of "everything is racist," and Pres. Trump is leading the white racist mob.
The charge of racism is so overused that no one knows what a real racist is.
Apply this definition to anyone who makes the charge of "racism" and see if it fits. In almost every case, it doesn't.
In our day, a racist is anyone who disagrees with Leftist policies that affect blacks. If you oppose welfare programs that assist the poor, you're are a racist because a disproportionate number of blacks are on welfare. If you comment on black-on-black crime in Chicago, you are a racist.
It's all about race and gender today. Are there racists? Most certainly. There are many backs who believe that their race is superior to whites, and yet they are not described as racist. There are whites who want to believe that just being white is racist.
If a black person is also critical of Leftist policies that hurt blacks, they are denigrated with epithets like Uncle Toms and Oreos, black on the outside, white on the inside.


Most of my favourite pieces have an unexpected twist, discontinuity or abrupt shift of viewpoint in them. This one has two — and in just six words.
For purists that makes it too elaborate, but then I'm already a long way off the map for anyone who thinks haiku should conform to a strict recipe. Fourteen syllables? A seasonal reference? A kireji? Those sorts of technical requirements don't interest me. In fact they barely make sense. Fourteen syllables in Japanese is something very different from fourteen syllables in English, and the whole notion of an English language haiku that has to abide by Japanese rules is a questionable one in the first place.
Well the composing bit of it I just can't help. Fragments pop into my head unasked, along with all sorts of other stuff. This has been happening for years, but until a year or two ago, when I bought some nice, slim, easy-to-slip-in-a-pocket notebooks, I didn't actually write any of it down. I just promptly forgot it.
Probably half of what I write might equally well be classified as senryu, although that's as hard to pin down as haiku. For example, how do you categorise this?
Renga and haiga, no, I've not been drawn to those forms. Although I do think that my paintings – I'm a professional artist – have a certain amount in common with my poems. You can see them on brianpike.com if you want to judge for yourself.


That's right. Treatment with beta-carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin E might increase mortality. The potential roles of vitamin C and selenium on mortality need further study.
These are the findings from the latest literature review and analysis published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
The Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group reviewed 68 randomized trials of more than 200,000 participants in 385 publications.
A few statistical turns later, they came to their conclusion.
On the other hand, Dr. Meir Stampfer, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health who was not connected to the meta-analysis, told the Associated Press that the studies reviewed were too different to be able to pool them together.
Maybe so, but following publication of an earlier study where it was concluded that "400 IU/day or higher of vitamin E supplements may increase all-cause mortality and should be avoided," sales of vitamin E declined.
JAMA is a powerful podium, and the same thing (at least short-term) is likely to happen again.

Scarlett Johansson: An Avenger For Everyone But The Unborn
Actress Scarlett Johansson speaks to the 500,000 strong crowd during the Women's Rally on the one-year anniversary of the first Women's March.
By Dustin Siggins Published on June 18, 2018 •
Natasha Romanova is an assassin and hand-to-hand combatant. Scarlett Johansson plays her in the Avengers movies. Johansson is a spokesperson for the #TimesUp and #MeToo movements.
Alas, Johansson's desire to avenge sexual-based injustice is limited. As Live Action's newest video shows, she and many top Hollywood actresses back Planned Parenthood despite how it hides sexual assault.
Live Action's 2018 campaign has exposed Planned Parenthood's shielding of sexual abusers. Still, Johansson and other Planned Parenthood supporters are silent. The Avengers actress is especially hypocritical. She said at the 2018 Women's March in Los Angeles that #TimesUp for men who commit sexual assault.
Yet she raised money for Planned Parenthood's 2014 election efforts. She spoke at the 2017 Women's March about visiting Planned Parenthood. After getting an award in 2016, she said that "a woman's right to choose…is a human rights issue…"
The Sexual Abuse Cover-Ups are Well-Documented
Planned Parenthood's cover-ups of sexual abuse are well-chronicled. A 2011 Live Action campaign showed many. That campaign led to a Planned Parenthood employee being fired. In 2008, Live Action showed how one center hid statutory rape.
Government officials have also found cover-ups. In 2015, an Alabama Department of Health official told me that a Planned Parenthood center in Mobile, Alabama gave a 14-year old girl two abortions in 2014. According to that official, Planned Parenthood had not reported this to the state. Their decision broke a law requiring health care groups to report suspected abuse of minors. The official asked that I protect Planned Parenthood and authorities' minimal response in the way I framed the issue.
No Kids Policy Support Points to Hypocrisy
Johansson's Planned Parenthood hypocrisy is not limited to selective outrage about sexual assault. Despite advocating for taxpayers' involvement with other women's unborn children, Johannson penned an op-ed in 2017 demanding the press leave her family alone. The op-ed was part of her support for the No Kids Policy in Hollywood. The No Kids Policy asks that media outlets not use photos of celebrities' children to protect children from overexposure. Are the paparazzi more dangerous in Johannson's mind than sexual predators protected by Planned Parenthood?
Johansson isn't alone in these hypocrisies. No Kids Policy co-founder Kristen Bell is a backer of #TimesUp. She recorded a video for Planned Parenthood in 2015. And Live Action has recently uncovered about 100 other supporters of #TimesUp who back Planned Parenthood.
Hollywood and Media Silent. Perhaps Johansson is Just Unaware?
Sexual assault is always wrong. It's wrong when Catholic priests do it. It is wrong when teachers do it. And it's wrong when men cover up sexual abuse with abortion.
But perhaps I'm being too hard on Johansson. She may be unaware of Planned Parenthood's practices. As of Monday morning, a Google search for the last month's mentions of "Live Action Planned Parenthood" shows just one non-Catholic or pro-life outlet beyond The Stream has covered the new Live Action campaign. (Or at least within the first five pages of results.) I found the same blackout on the first page of Google News.
This is despite a press conference at which Members of Congress urged a federal investigation of Planned Parenthood. Fifty-six Members have urged the Department of Health & Human Services to investigate America's largest abortion company. This has received no coverage in mainstream press in D.C. or in those lawmakers' districts!
If Johansson has acted out of ignorance, Live Action's newest video should rouse a demand for Planned Parenthood to change its practices. But I won't hold my breath for Johansson to turn her influence to protecting and avenging the unborn.
Cognitive dissonance on the left. You don't say. Reminds me of how they simultaneously embrace LGBT and Islam, without seeing the conflict there.
>> Cognitive dissonance on the left.
Conservatives who defend the unborn while devastating the born should be wracked with cognitive dissonance.
But I'm not sure they even understand the glaring contradiction.
What devastation are you accusing conservatives of inflicting on the born? Pretty sure you need to elaborate before accusing anyone of cognitive dissonance! At least Patmos was kind enough to give an example of blatant contradiction.
>> What devastation are you accusing conservatives of inflicting on the born?
Ripping children from their mother's arms. It's been all over the news. Everyone is talking about it.
But, sorry, I shouldn't have been presumptuous.
>>Conservatives who defend the unborn while devastating the born should be wracked with cognitive dissonance.
But I'm not sure they even understand the glaring contradiction."<>Christians who defend Christ while devastating their lives by having sinned should be wracked with cognitive dissonance.
But I'm not sure they even understand the glaring contradiction."<>But, sorry, I shouldn't have been presumptuous.<<
Don't be sorry for being presumptuous, be sorry for being immoral and evil, setting yourself up against God's values. Time is short, repent and put your faith in Jesus.
And yet that's really an Obama era issue. The issue is that Trump is enforcing border control. There's also calls for Congress to change the law but I'm not sure Democrats actually want a change. Children ripped from arms is good spin for them.


I've got to say that this is a really well made game. I really like the mix of story and monster hunting. Wish it was longer, but I still love it. It was short and sweet.
Really like the game. Sad, that it was short. The story was interesting and wanted more.
This game seems like a demo for a much longer RPG. Will there be a part 2?
A sequel. Yay, I wish you would have made this longer and gave a chance for him to craft more, make money, make more friends in the guild and gone out for more monster hunting. Please extend the next one or add more of these options.
Wait, what? That's it?! That's the end?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I loved the game--the art, the music, the plot, the format--and I was so ready to play more!! Please tell me there will be an extended version of this?
Craftsman RPG, a personal favorite niche genre that I cannot help but enjoy.
это просто божественно! Я оооооочень жду продолжения и вообще побольше РПГшек!
That game was beautiful! I just can't help notice the similarities of Maya and Van to Asuna and Kirito lol. Maybe it was just me. Anyways, great game!
Hello, I just recently recorded a first try video of your game, however, it was flagged for copyright based on the music on the battle screen. I'm just wondering how you obtained the music so I can either leave the flag alone or dispute it.
Also I had a slight issue with how the controls are mapped, wsad only seems to work if capslock is off, which I didn't even realize I had on at the time. If possible could you link both higher case and lowercase letters to the movement controls?
Thanks for the report! All music were taken from Jamendo.com and all of them are under CC. The battle music is Adventure by Celestial Aeon Project (https://www.jamendo.com/track/818620/adventure). Perhaps it was licensed commercially? Either way I think you can leave it flagged. But it's weird because someone else made a video about it but it didn't trip up the copyright detector.
Ah, that is pretty easy to fix. I'll see if I can update the game sometime soon. Thanks!
Thanks for responding, I'll leave it flagged.
Youtube doesn't always pick up on this stuff, the battle music played multiple times in the video but only one time was it flagged.
As it is right now, I can't download it from the itch app, because it says there isn't an available version for Windows.
Whoops, forgot to re-tag them when I updated the build. Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out!
Cool! I'll download it right away!
I know what the word means and that's why I'm wondering - the game is free. You don't need to pay/donate.
I think nf3 is saying (s)he won't play because DR is not open source.
Of course, most games here aren't, so it seems like a strange expectation to me.
I see. Thanks for clearing that up!
Hello, Sendo; first of all, congrats and great job on your work like always! As for user nf3, just ignore them; looking at their comment history, they're just going around labeling things proprietary or not for some pointless reason. Keep doing what you're doing, Sendo.
I'm glad you liked the game and are looking forward to the sequel! Your support means a lot!
I loved the game. Will there be any more like this in the future?

Excerpted from To See Out the Night. Published in September 2021 by QC Fiction, an imprint of Baraka Books. Copyright © 2019 Héliotrope, translation copyright © Katia Grubisic.
I heard the caws and the blatter of the crows taking flight before I saw the bear, its carcass resting on a bed of sphagnum moss. The birds had pried their beaks into the open wound on the animal's head. The blood had long since dried, but their persistent digging had exposed the whitish mud inside his skull. A forest ranger once told me that animal remains disappear quickly. Insects and animals of all kinds eat them, usually in a single night, until there's nothing left—a few bones, scattered and almost invisible among the dry branches and leaves on the forest floor.
It was the first time I had ever seen a bear up close. A couple of times I had caught a glimpse of one on the road, mostly farther north in the Mauricie. Never on my countless walks through the woods around our family cottage had I even supposed I might come across a bear. It was a sunny afternoon in early September. The forest was still green, though a few rare leaves were starting to turn, their yellow heralding the arrival of fall. Hunting season hadn't opened yet. The bear had been shot by a human weapon, which worried me. I remembered my father telling me not to go into the forest from mid-September; it no longer belonged to us, it was the hunters'. My father used to hunt—a bit of everything, deer, moose, caribou, coyotes, bears—but he had put his gun away and felt that we should be wary of those who used them: men unmoving, flat on the ground for hours waiting for a chance to pull the trigger. I could hear his voice, and I remembered his hair, which was thick and black until the end of his life. Like me, he loved walking alone in the forest. I had come by him there once unexpectedly, under the fir trees, among the ferns. The branches were dense, filtering the sun. We were far from the road, in the dense coniferous edge of a bog, and running into my father there was unsettling, unnatural. His presence seemed foreign. We had walked back to the cottage barely speaking, uncomfortable in the intimacy of the undergrowth.
That day in September, boots planted in the red and green moss, the animal body brought me back to my father as I heard the rasp of the crows ratcheting in my head. They were crying out for their meal. They wanted me to leave so they could continue eating the bear, but I stood my ground. A cool wind shuffled through the branches. Flies were congested on the coagulated blood and around the visible brain of the animal. Some circled around me, resting on my head. Above me the crows flapped their wings. I imagined foxes, weasels, fishers, maybe even coyotes coming to join the feast. I opened my mouth. I let out a cry, as if to announce, I am here. I called three times, addressing both man and beast. I thought of the hunters' guns. I felt like I couldn't leave, like I wanted to dig a grave for the bear or take it with me, gut it, cut through its flesh, remove its animal skin and put it on. The hunter hadn't bothered to take the fur or the meat, and I wondered why we taxidermied animals but not humans, why we tried to preserve animals in some approximation of life but hid the bodies of our loved ones until we forgot about them, until there was nothing left.
I pictured an exhibition of stuffed bodies, my mother, my father, my grandmother, my grandfather, and those who had gone before them standing frozen in the corner of my apartment or at the cottage, decorative. I imagined dozens of stuffed, posed bodies, several generations of ancestors, the faces of some recalling others: the continuity of family and the constant presence of death, the embodiment of mortality. I told myself it was better to hide death, to bury it and overwhelm it with a heavy stone, hard to move. My father's blown-out skull would have thwarted any effort at preservation, unless he'd been made into a monster, a thing without a face or a head. I was the one who had found his body that day in October the previous year. I hadn't heard from him for a long time. I hardly ever saw him. My mother had died two years earlier, of a heart attack. A few days before my father's death I called him and got his answering machine. I heard his voice, and I recorded my own. Hi, it's me. I hope you're okay. I was hoping to go up to the cottage this weekend. Is it available? He didn't call back. I called him again the next day. Again, no answer. I needed some time alone. My work as a teacher was weighing on me, and my words were empty. I felt like everything I said was pointless. I left Montreal on the 40, driving east. At Louiseville, I headed north. A bit before Saint-Alexis-des-Monts, I turned onto a gravel road and into the woods.
Content warning: This story includes a graphic description of suicide. For support, please call the 24/7Canada Suicide Prevention Service (1-833-456-4566).
My father had taken out his old shotgun. I didn't know he had it still. I don't know how many animals he'd killed with it when he was hunting. It was a large-calibre Remington rifle. He had it attached to a chair. He had knelt down and placed his mouth around the barrel. It must have been cold on his lips. And he must have pushed down almost to his throat and squeezed it tight between his teeth, because his mouth was still resting on the gun. Blood, bone, and brains had sprayed out behind it, staining his jacket and the floor.
When I found his body, I froze at the horror of the scene. I couldn't make sense of it. Nor did I ever, really; I've never understood. My father didn't leave me a letter. I had never seen him write. He was a man of few words, a man of silence. And I didn't know how to read his death: his mouth on the gun, the brains and blood. I went out. I left him at the cottage. I drove through the woods, my phone wasn't getting a signal. When I got close to the 349, I dialled 911 and waited for the ambulance.
Now, a year later, the crows were circling over my head and I left them the bear, I left it to the birds and the insects and whatever other critters would make short work of it, erase any trace of its existence. I let out another cry as I headed under the trees. This time I didn't just call out to warn animals and hunters, but to break the quiet as the cawing behind me waned.
I walked quickly to the gravel path that leads to the cottage. The sky was a searing blue. Sweat soaked my chest as I climbed up the hillside. Animals were probably spying on me from the underbrush—foxes, partridges, maybe a young bear attracted by the meat, driven by its predatory instincts, the urge to devour the carcass of the other beast slaughtered in the forest. I wished this imaginary bear good luck, I hoped it would stay away from men and escape the hunters. I imagined what its life would be like, in the bush, a life among the ferns. Nights alone on the moss and leaves.
That night in September, I slept at the cottage. Despite my father's suicide, the blood that still stained the floor, I'd stayed here now and again since his death. Naturally everyone told me not to, but I loved the woods. I had repainted the walls, I had changed the furniture and the dishes. I had thrown away my parents' old clothes. The sheets they had slept on, too. I burned my childhood photo album. Erased. I wanted to forget, and I wanted solitude under the trees, the fresh air, the smell of the peat.
Erase. Yet I could hardly sleep. That night, when I finally drifted off, I saw myself lying in the shade of the undergrowth on a bed of sphagnum moss. Blood flowed from my skull. My mouth was dry. I couldn't breathe. Above me I could see the glare of the sun. Crows, shrews, and ants pushed into my sacrificed body. I was in pain, unable to die and find out the secret of my father's death.
Today, as I talk again to students, as my words seem empty again, I think of the punctured skull, the flat gaze. I think of a hunter I ran into once on the gravel path, and I imagine knowing an ancient language made of shards of bone and drops of blood, plunging my fingers into the substance discharged from my father's head to decipher a message etched there. I swallow. I long for the aloneness of the cottage.
Throughout the fall I go back every week. More and more often I hear the hunters' gunshots. I feel like going into the forest, I imagine myself dressed in my father's skin, but I rarely stray from the path. Like the bear, I hope for colder days, the salvation of winter and then, after hibernation, a new awakening, heading out again among the ferns, walking in other footsteps, not knowing whether I might find him along the way.

Testimony of the Long Island Rail Road Commuter Council
to the Board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Proposed Fare Increases
The Brooklyn Museum,
Good Evening. My name is Matthew Kessler. I am a member of the Long Island Rail Road Commuter Council (LIRRCC), the legislatively mandated representatives of the Long Island Rail Road riders. I represent the Borough of Brooklyn to the Council, appointed by the Governor, on the recommendation of Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
I'm here to convey our opposition to any fare increase and to demand this Board reject them immediately and without delay. This proposal follows the pattern established in the May 2009 agreement to rescue the MTA through new and increased State funding. Unfortunately, the State has failed, in their promise, to provide the agreed level of support. Estimates of another new and dedicated tax specifically for MTA support, contemplated in this agreement, has proved wildly overoptimistic and $143 million in tax revenue that had been received and promised for the operation of MTA services, as the Board knows full well, has been retracted and placed into the State's general fund. Because of your inaction with the State, the riders are left to deal with the results.
The riders have already been paying, not just with their money, but with service cuts and a never-seen-before increased commutation time. LIRR riders lost a number of trains and have seen off-peak service severed and eliminated during specific time periods.
Only six months ago, I stood before you, as I do now, and I specifically outlined and prophesized how dire the negative effects of your actions (or inactions) would be to the Brooklyn passengers of the LIRR, and all of LIRR, by not seriously following and considering our advice and recommendations.
Not even a year has gone by, in which, a colossal $108 million was invested into Atlantic Terminal of Brooklyn. What did LIRR passengers receive as their ROI?
We now have no service between midnight and 5:00 a.m. A rider must decide whether they want to risk riding LIRR to even be in Downtown Brooklyn. The only option is to go to Penn Station in Manhattan (or hope there isn't a serious subway delay or service suspension.) Will anyone choose to attend a musical performance, play or sporting event in Brooklyn? Will anyone choose to attend classes, earn a degree or to further their education to get a job by going to a college in Brooklyn? Will someone have to choose between a lifelong & trusted doctor whose office is near Atlantic Terminal or finding a new unknown doctor? Will an inpatient at the nearest hospital now be bereft of visitors? Will an employer have to make the decision to move out of Brooklyn or even out of New York because overnight LIRR Brooklyn service affects their overall sales and operation? Will people start to resign from their jobs and/or migrate to where employment beyond Brooklyn has affordable mass-transit service?
Based on prior fare increases, NYC riders of the LIRR might have hoped that improvements in service and fare structures would be a part of this proposal. For example, Brooklyn riders would be better served if the City Ticket, now available only on weekends, were expanded to all off-peak hours. City Ticket is in your proposal, but only as one more category where fares will be increased – they should stay the same as is proposed for base transit fares. Worse yet, you propose unreasonable and unrealistic expiration dates for single and ten trip fares, which will deny riders the opportunity to use such tickets for which they have paid an already hefty premium. On top of all this, you propose punitive fees for ticket refunds. We understand the value of such a policy where some tickets are not collected, but the legitimate solution is to improve ticket collection and not further penalizing your customers.
We also oppose other fare increases such as: on-board and step up fares which would be rounded up to the next dollar and the discounts on joint monthly tickets and MetroCards and on Mail and Ride and WebTickets which would be reduced and eliminated, respectively. While there may be legitimate reasons for adjusting the fare structure, these provisions give the impression of increasing demands on the rider while restraining the more evident base fare increases.
These proposals fail because they do not address the fundamental issues facing the MTA. The MTA's current financial problems result in large part from a failure of government to properly fund MTA, resulting in their financing through fare-backed bonds. Now as the State shirks away from its responsibility to the MTA – the riders are left, again, to fill the gap. Riders already pay an oppressive share of the cost of operations, recently estimated by MTA management at 53.4% for 2010. If we follow this proposal, this figure will rise to about 60% by 2013, again by MTA management's own estimates.
Board Member Norman Seabrook respectfully requested, at a past MTA Board meeting, to his fellow Board Members: to look under every rock; to seek every possible course – before going forward with any increase.
Increasing the burden on the riders is unacceptable. We demand that the members of the MTA Board and MTA senior management work vigorously both internally and with our elected officials to find alternative means of filling the gap between costs and revenues as well as question where the funds to the three
existing, dedicated tax revenues for MTA support have been going.
We call on this Board to join us in rejecting these proposals.

Traditionally the bike industry hasn't been the most eco friendly, with bikes and parts imported from far-flung places, unpleasant chemicals used all over the workshop and of course let's not forget ALLLLL the packaging.
But let's say goodbye to the old and welcome the new…Woodside Bikeworks, the region's, maybe even the country's first and only eco friendly cycle workshop. Owner and chief mechanic Dave Mellor exclusively uses biodegradable, non-petrochemical oils and cleaners, whilst recycling everything possible, including worn out bike parts, and of course he's a strong advocate for cycling as a low carbon mode of transport.
Opening a bike shop was something Dave evolved into – even though it felt like a pipe dream whilst working in his attic, he's now opened a shop he can call home and welcomes you all to come down for a brew. His straight talking Yorkshire attitude is refreshing these days, he'll only sell products he'd be happy spending his own hard earned pennies on and any advice is totally impartial – if the next big thing is actually rubbish, he'll tell you!
But let's take it back to the beginning, the story began back when Dave was a young lad growing up in an area up the hill from Kelham historically known as Woodside (hence the name!). Always tinkering & fixing skateboards, snowboards and of course bikes, he had an inquisitive nature from the beginning and an attitude of if it's broke let's fix it, which has served him well through his adult life. Having held most jobs in the bike industry, Dave more recently found himself working as a bike mechanic on the Downhill World Cup circuit for Propain Factory Racing. Then friends began asking him to fix theirs, then their friends came and so on… before long he realised he was going to need to move out of the attic and into a workshop and that was the beginning of Woodside Bikeworks.
As keen cyclist ourselves it's easy to get caught up in the 'newer, lighter, faster, betterer' but Dave's attitude has always been about the adventure and experience you can have on a bike, they can take you places you can't get any other way and hopefully enjoy yourself on route.
Woodside Bikeworks also run a series of Maintenance Courses for both complete beginners and more experienced home mechanics; look them up on Facebook for upcoming dates. He also runs regular social rides, riding a different local trail every time and anyone's welcome to join in. For those of us who put the miles in on their bikes and legs, you might be interested in joining their Chaingang, a subscription 'club' which gives you regular services, discounts and unlimited minor repairs starting at just a small monthly fee of £12 and with your Independent Sheffield membership card you can nab yourself 10% off all workshop services, plus 3 for 2 on eco bike care products.

January 2015 - Thoughts From The Frontline - Investment Strategies, Analysis & Intelligence for Seasoned Investors.
The Swiss Release the Kraken!
If you want evidence that central bankers play by their own rules, regardless of what they say or what conventional wisdom tells us, last week's action by the Swiss National Bank should pretty much fill the bill. My friend Anatole Kaletsky, in a CNBC interview not long after the announcement, quipped (with a completely straight face) that just as James Bond has a license to kill, central bankers have a license to lie.
It is the time of the year for forecasts; but rather than do an annual forecast, which is as much a guessing game as anything else (and I am bad at guessing games), I'm going to do a five-year forecast to take us to the end of the decade, which I think may be useful for longer-term investors. We will focus on events and trends that I think have a high probability, and I'll state what I think the probabilities are for my forecasts to actually happen. While I could provide several dozen items, I think there are seven major trends that are going to sweep over the globe and that as an investor you need to have on your radar screen. You will need to approach these trends with caution, but they will also provide significant opportunities.

I followed the Solar Eclipse with interest. You can find my article here. I loved the sheer guts and determination that one amateur astronomer was willing to put into sharing his passion with us mere mortals.
Scotty Degenhardt is my kind of people, he has passion for his subject and loves to share that passion with others. Alas due to a technical hitch the live broadcast was not recorded, which is a great shame, however he did manage to salvage some of the footage and has now put it on YouTube. The really fun part of the 'highlights' is that we get to see some of the back story. You really get a sense of his passion and dedication.
The original plan was to broadcast the event from Area 51's fabled Black Mailbox (now white). This picture was taken the night before the eclipse. Unfortunately there was no cell service available and so he needed to relocate.
The Solar Annular Eclipse was covered by just about every news organization on the planet, many broadcast footage from large observatories with complex and very high quality optics, Nasa even covered the event from space. Scotty Degenhardt on the other hand broadcast from the parking lot of a Sinclair gas station in Alamo, Nevada, a stones throw from Area 51. Braving the searing heat of the desert, and using equipment somewhat less sophisticated than a CNN mobile studio with satellite uplink, (actually an iPhone and the WiFi access from a nearby hotel) he managed to achieve what the 'big boys' could not. Sunday afternoons (with the exception of the Superbowl) are hardly classed by TV broadcasters as a high ratings time slot. Scotty Degenhardt proved them all wrong.
His ad-hoc lash up of equipment and unscripted dialog brought in over 100,000 live viewers! There are cable TV channels that would sell their first born for numbers like that!
Scotty did this with no sponsorship. But there is one company that does need to be recognized for their very kind assistance. Scotty had the telescopes and other gizmo's needed but he had no real viable way of adding a high quality audio feed. Lectrosonics of Rio Rancho, New Mexico stepped up to the plate. They loaned the needed equipment. I do not think for one moment that they did this for any reason other than to help Scotty. It is great to see a company act in such a way, so I give a very big shout out to Lectrosonics! The audio quality was excellent. It is one thing to have audio equipment in a TV studio or a film set, but it is a whole different beast being in the parking lot of a gas station next to a highway in the middle of the desert!
Accomplice in crime Mark Vincent is obviously very happy with finding this Garden of Eden in Alamo.
I enjoyed the highlights video a great deal. It turns out that Scotty had forgotten an important cable back at the hotel he was staying in, and without the WiFi access offered by this new location the broadcast would not have happened. Scotty even decided to include a picture of the offending cable.
Kudos to all involved! This to me is a fine example that the little guy counts! If you love something, just go out and do it! Make music, write a book, invent the next great thing, it doesn't matter what your area of interest is, take it and run with it. You might be surprised where it takes you.

Q: Video pausing with error "Unauthorized overlay" I am getting following error while playing video in fullscreen mode (only in fullscreen). I am hiding all other components in the layout when it goes fullscreen but it says that android:id/statusBarBackground is the view that is causing the problem. How do I control that?
YouTube video playback stopped due to unauthorized overlay on top of player. The YouTubePlayerView is obscured by android.view.View{16771a9d V.ED.... ........ 0,0-1920,75 #102002f android:id/statusBarBackground}. The view is inside the YouTubePlayerView, with the distance in px between each edge of the obscuring view and the YouTubePlayerView being: left: 0, top: 0, right: 0, bottom: 1005..

I am using FullScreenListener and in onFullScreen function, I hide all other elements in the layout except the videofragment.
@Override
    public void onFullscreen(boolean isFullscreen) {
        this.isFullscreen = isFullscreen;

        layout();
    }

Also I am adding following flag to the video player
player.addFullscreenControlFlag(YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CUSTOM_LAYOUT);

A: Taken from the documentation

FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CUSTOM_LAYOUT disables the default fullscreen layout handler, enabling you to control the transition to fullscreen layout manually.

As you see, setting that flag leaves to you the task of handling the UI elements' visibility, in particular those belonging to the System UI (status bar, navigation bar).
For this reason, if you fail to hide the status bar, the YouTube player will detect that a view is being displayed over it and will therefore throw that warning.

You can try with one of the following additional flags

FULLSCREEN_FLAG_ALWAYS_FULLSCREEN_IN_LANDSCAPE: causes the player to automatically enter fullscreen whenever the device enters landscape orientation.
FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_ORIENTATION: enables automatic control of the orientation.
FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_SYSTEM_UI: enables automatic control of system UI.
FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CUSTOM_LAYOUT: disables the default fullscreen layout handler, enabling you to control the transition to fullscreen layout manually.

or, if you actually need to have manual control over the System UI, keep using the custom layout flag and be sure to handle the UI elements' visibility.

The chiliZ team will continue adding additional bounty tasks so that you can rack up your points.

This salmon nicoise is a hearty salad that comes together quickly and is packed with flavor and veggies. The spiralized potatoes quick more quickly and are look beautiful in this gluten free salad.
The nicoise salad is traditionally a French salad made of tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, Niçoise olives, anchovies, and dressed with olive oil. If you order this salad here in America, it's usually with tuna, potatoes, and green beans – a bit fuller!
I love Niçoise salads, I always feel like I'm having a fancy, healthy, and filling meal. There's so much flavor and crunch in each bite and it's a colorful, nutrient packed meal. Talk about eating the rainbow!
I've been obsessed with broiling my salmon ever since I made this Butternut Squash Risotto with Crispy Salmon, and so I decided to top my Niçoise with crispy salmon for a dose of healthy omega-3s. This is the perfect salad to make if you're having friends over for lunch and want to prepare something pretty and tasty.
The spiralized potatoes ensure more potato in every bite and they look extra special in this salad. They're salty and add just enough starch into this salad.
Bring a large pot filled halfway with water to a boil. Add the green beans and let boil until fork tender, 5-7 minutes. Drain into a colander and set aside.
Preheat the oven to the high broil setting. Grease a small casserole dish or oven safe skillet with olive oil. Add the salmon in and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Place the salmon in the oven and broil for 10 minutes.
?Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add in the potato noodles, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook for 7-10 minutes or until cooked all the way through, uncovering occasionally to toss.
?While potatoes and salmon cook, whisk all ingredients for the vinaigrette together and set aside.
?Assemble your salads: set down two plates or bowls. On both plates, set down the lettuce. Then, divide equally the green beans, potato noodles, boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, and tuna. Drizzle each with the vinaigrette and serve.
