Welcome to APES
I'm Dawn Magowan.
IN 1992 , I became involved with the rehabilitation of infant Vervet monkeys in KZN. South Africa.
My first orphan arrived in December 1992, just two weeks old. She had been stolen from her mother. My daughter, who worked in a doctor's surgery, managed to rescue the little mite and bring her down to me.
'Bugs' did extremely well and the wild troop that I had become friendly with and who accepted me as one of their own, soon accepted my 'baby'.
In fact Rodney witnessed a very touching scene. I was standing on the veranda with the little one, when a wild mother with her baby came across the lawn. Although she had to pass numerous dogs, my pet pig and a number of
cats, she came up to me, patted me on the leg and held her baby out for me to see. I did the same. Rodney was watching all this from an upstairs window.
I am not ashamed to admit that tears were running down my cheeks at the trust this wild animal was showing me. My thoughts were "My God, and they shoot you and your kind!"
From that moment on I decided I would do all I could to help any orphans, injured wild Vervets or cast off 'pets' . . . and so APES was born.
When Bugs was approximately a year old, a second baby, 'Bullet' arrived. A local sugar farmer had shot her mother. When asked why he did this he replied, "Because she was there!".
Bullet was only an hour or two old. She sustained injuries from the shotgun pellets that killed her mother. One of these pieces of metal lodged in her head and had to remain there, as it was too dangerous to remove. It was very touching to see how Bugs adopted Bullet when we brought her home from the vet, a truly remarkable sight!
These two monkeys lived happily together, totally free and mixing with the wild troop who continued to visit us regularly. Then came the time for Bugs to move on. She reached maturity, found a mate and returned permanently to the wild. A very sad time in a way, but it was what was best for her and what we had worked for.
Bullet was lonely, but she had the company of the wild youngsters who were a wee bit younger than her. Because of her injury she was 'slower' than a normal monkey of her age.
Much to our delight Bugs reappeared with her troop approximately eight months later with a baby. She had become a wild monkey and had been fully accepted into the resident troop and visits at regular intervals!
Over time more and more casualties arrived and departed. Through word of mouth people got to know about us and soon we were being called for help and advice, rescue of sick and injured Vervets and educational talks at schools and in local communities.
All this work has been done with our own funds and a few donations. Fortunately, we have built a network of friends and associates - kind people who help make a difference, offering veterinary services, food, hands-on help and moral support. We have been able to purchase an acre of virgin bush adjacent to our home and extend the sanctuary.
The monkeys are our prime concern. Our greatest wish is to be able to expand and help more of these now endangered creatures return to their natural habitat and areas, to rehabilitate troops to areas where they once roamed, to eradicate the senseless cruelty we see daily and to educate people of all age groups to help them understand and protect their natural heritage before it is lost for all time.

What's wrong with this picture? Hmmm ... something seems a little backwards.
We took the terrible deuce-um to training last night. Yes, even though I'm still recovering from a flu, I couldn't resist going because training was in a warehouse where we could really frack with our dog's heads putting them on fork lifts, moving carts, hiding behind shelves and crates and letting your dog find you. I gotta admit, it's loads of fun fracking with their heads like that. I am Wild Dingo: I'm just mean like that. Why do we do this? Oh gosh, if you've never made your dog work like this, it's pretty fun. Juno had a little trouble with moving carts so we got out our garden cart this morning and put them both on it.
Juno: "Hey, Pop, what's this party pooper doing here? I thought this was all about meeeee."
Loki: "Pretend I'm not here Princess."
"Well ok, but just remember. These yellow eyes? They're watching you."
"Brrr. Oh baby. Talk like that gives me the shivers. (Not.)"
"Hey sister, ever notice you can't buy handsome like this in a bottle?"
"Ok, I'm blowin' this popcicle stand. There ain't no more treats in it for me."
"I thought he'd never leave. Step on it! I'm late for my mani-pedi."
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTENT CONTAINS NON POLITICALLY CORRECT HUMOR. Read at your own sensitivity risk-o-meter.
Meanwhile, at class last night, Loki earned the "Retart-o Montalban" award. This dog would be so awesome if he wasn't such a doofus. He'll literally DO anything. He'll sit on fork lifts, jump through several isles in the warehouse to find me, he'll move through puzzles in and out of places, ignoring other dogs and distractions to find me. He'll go in and out of trucks. He'll accomplish ANY obstacle first time through while many dog owners are pleading and begging their dogs through things. But the minute he's separated from Mr. Wild Dingo and Juno, he acts like a tart. And when he reunites with him and Juno, he jumps up and down and cries like he's been gone for 5 years. Mr. Wild Dingo just cracks up when he sees Loki and I walking toward him and Juno, like some wildebeest on a leash while every other dog in class is calm and cool like its no big deal. I don't get it: he accomplishes ridiculously challenging obstacles, like they're no big deal, obstacles that other dogs run away from, but separate him from Mr. Wild Dingo and Juno (or me) for 3 seconds and all hell breaks loose.
I think it's time to get out the doggie Valium. Not for Loki, for me.
"Hey Retart-o! Da Platz! Da Platz!"
I think the khart placement is perfekht!
Pups say that I have big ears but I think you could hear a bunny hop on the moon.
The Herd gives paws up to the appropriate placement of dog and human on the sled.
What's wrong with the pic - absolutely nothing!!!!
Retardo Montalban.....oh my gosh!! Where do you come up with these ideas?!
"Faster, Mr. Wild Dingo! Faster!"
Wooo! I found you! And what a greta picture! How can I make Dad take me around in a cart instead of the other way! You must have your humans trained exceptionally well, I am impressed!

Colocation is one of the hosting options intended for small businesses who want to have the IT features of well-off business without incurring any costs. Many big industries have the capacity and the finances to run and manage their own web servers but small business do not. It is cost-saving in a sense. Instead of owning racks and sites, it would be a lot less expensive to lease a space or to rent a server machine and enjoy comparable amount of bandwidth.
A user under colocation places his server machine in some other business's rack or rents the server machine directly from the colocation provider. He will then be provided with a bandwidth, IP and power by the provider. It is the same as managing your website through a web host; the difference is you own the server!
After understanding what a colocation hosting is, you have to get a good briefing at the rewards it may give you. Here are some.
Cost. Apparently, that is the bottom line of colocation hosting. You get the same bandwidth speed or even better. If others pay for it at $150-$200, with colocation hosting, you can get it at the same price for a better server or less.
Power Interruption-safe. In case power interruption tries to disrupt your for using your server, colocation hosting provides you with a choice to pay for generator fees and power back-ups to help you manage your site even if power outage is around.
Own decision prevails. Since you are the owner of the server machine, you have the choice on what to do with them. If it works below your expected level, you can simply upgrade it at your discretion without waiting for your host to upgrade it. Along with the machine, you also own the software. That means if you need newer software to work for your web site, you can simply install them yourself at your most convenience.
Server On even when you move. We pay domain for servers when we move but when you own the server, it is running the whole time you're busy.
Security. It is the responsibility of your provider to keep safe your machines. You won't have any worry because they are retained in secured places.
Extra Services. If you do not have your IT members, leave it to your provider at an extra cost. They will maintain and manage them for you.
Distance. Colocation providers are hard to find. Sometimes, you have to be in major cities to find one. If your office is quite far, you may have a problem in contacting them for your concerns.
Cost. The dark side of the cost is that since you own the machines, you are responsible for their additions, repairs, replacements and other subsequent events occurring to them.
Travel difficulties. To response to your concerns, you have to go with your providers and travel long distances to where your machines are.
Moving out. When you are moving to another location, either you have to carry your servers with you or pay your providers with maintenance fees.
Fluctuating rates. Rates in collocating a server is the amount of the data sent to you therefore traffics can cause your bills to jump higher. That is something beyond your control and might be beyond your budget.
To collocation hosting or not?
The answer depends on the needs of the user. If you feel web hosting is not fit for your proposed site then go for colocation hosting. But if web hosting satisfies you then stick with it. Put your biggest consideration on the line.


As you may remember from my previous post on TitanFall - I am very very excited by this game.
When it was previewed at E3, it was THE only redeeming thing about the XBox One launch.
Now, happily it will also be on PC, so that purchase has been delayed!
Well today this video was released showing the kit-bashing it took to design the mechs and some awesome looking 1/6 scale figures. Check this out!!

Early Patriots 53-Man Roster Projection 1.0
August 8, 2017 Bill Bodell	Leave a comment
The Patriots are now on their third week of training camp and set to play their first preseason game later this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team has yet to make any roster moves outside of the retirement of veteran Rob Ninkovich. It may only be the beginning of August, but let's take a look at what the Patriots 53-man roster could look like a month from now when the regular season begins.
Quarterbacks: Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo, Jacoby Brissett
Brady and Garoppolo are obvious locks to make the roster, there has been some talk on whether the Patriots hold onto Brissett and keep him on the 53-man roster or move on from the second year quarterback. Ultimately I think the Patriots hold onto Brissett, the team placed him on Injured Reserve with eligibility to return last year and traveled with the team during this time. There have also been reports on how much the team likes his toughness and leadership, both traits he showed last year as a rookie. Brissett still needs some time to develop and isn't ready to be an NFL quarterback right now, but as a third round pick only a year ago shows a lot of potential and will stay on the 53 man roster, even though the team doesn't necessarily need to carry a third quarterback.
Running Back: James White, Dion Lewis, Rex Burkhead, Mike Gillislee, James Develin
Gillislee and Burkhead were both signed this offseason and look to play big roles with the team, especially Gillislee who looks to take over as the feature/powerback role previously held by LaGarrette Blount. Super Bowl hero James White was also given a contract extension this offseason and is a lock to make the roster. Dion Lewis has played great for the team when healthy and is capable of playing a few different roles on offense and can contribute as a return man on special teams. Brandon Bolden misses out on the 53-man roster in this projection, Bolden plays primarily as a special teamer and contributes little to the offense throughout the season. The roster having as much depth as it does makes it hard for Bolden to make the roster as a guy who primarily contributes on just special teams, which the team already has several of.
via Boston Herald
Wide Receiver: Julian Edelman, Brandin Cooks, Chris Hogan, Danny Amendola, Malcolm Mitchell
Probably the easiest position on the team to project for. It's fair to say that all five of these guys are locks to make the roster. One question could be is would the team consider keeping six wide receivers? Undrafted rookie free agent Austin Carr was the very last guy who didn't make the roster when I was putting this projection. Carr has had a very good camp so far and looks to capitalize during preseason games and fight for one of the final roster spots on the final roster and is someone the Patriots might not be able to sneak onto the practice squad. I did not consider Matthew Slater as a wide receiver since he just plays special teams.
Tight End: Rob Gronkowski, Dwayne Allen, Matt Lengel
Gronk is back and has looked great and healthy so far during training camp. Allen has been inconsistent so far and have been some reports that he has struggled to learn the offense, but is far too talented at a weak position outside of Gronkowski to not make the team. The third tight end spot could easily be a few different people but I give it to Lengel for now. Lengel played in limited action last year after the injury to Gronkowski and has familiarity with the offense, and was a big contributor towards the end of the season and during the playoffs last year for the Patriots. Lengel can contribute both as a blocker and a receiver, which can help add multiple dimensions to the teams offense when he is in the game. James O'Shaughnessy and Lengel are the top two guys competing for the third tight end spot, but rookie free agent Jacob Hollister could be someone who could make an impression during the preseason as he would provide the offense with more of a receiver-tight end role compared to more of a blocking tight end role like Lengel or O'Shaughnessy.
Offensive Line: Nate Solder, Joe Thuney, David Andrews, Shaq Mason, Marcus Cannon, Tony Garcia, Ted Karras, Cameron Fleming
The starting five from last year are locks to make the roster, as well as Joe Thuney who was the top backup interior lineman last season and rookie Tony Garcia who will be the teams primary backup tackle. The last offensive lineman spot goes to Cameron Fleming, who was last year's top backup tackle and has proven to be inconsistent throughout his career in New England and so far, in camp. In joint practices with the Jaguars, Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue was treating Fleming like a revolving door constantly beating Fleming in the absence of Nate Solder. Fleming gets the upper hand over LaAdrian Waddle, who was on the 53-man roster last season but was not active for a single game, and rookie Connor McDermott who the Patriots could look to put on the practice squad.
Defensive Line: Trey Flowers, Alan Branch, Malcolm Brown, Lawrence Guy, Deatrich Wise Jr., Derek Rivers, Vincent Valentine, Kony Ealy, Geneo Grissom
Flowers, Branch, Guy, Wise, Rivers, and Valentine are all locks to make the roster based on last year's production, draft spot, and contract received this offseason. Wise has had a great training camp so far and could look to start at defensive end opposite Trey Flowers if he continues to impress during preseason action. Kony Ealy and Geneo Grissom are two guys who could be fighting for one roster spot on the Patriots defensive line depending on how the rest of training camp and the preseason goes. Ealy was acquired in a trade this offseason with the Carolina Panthers and was expected to play a big role in the Patriots defense this season. The start of training camp hasn't been a good one so far for Ealy though, he missed the first day of training camp for unknown reason and when asked was told to ask coach Bill (Belichick) about why he wasn't out there. He has also had his struggles in camp and hasn't been able to beat offensive tackles and generate pressure on a consistent basis. Both of these factors could end up in Ealy not making the final roster.
via patriots.com
Linebacker: Dont'a Hightower, David Harris, Kyle Van Noy, Shea McClellin, Elandon Roberts, Harvey Langi
Hightower is an obvious lock and so is former Jet David Harris, everyone else there could be a case why they should make the team and a case why they couldn't make it. Van Noy, McClellin and Roberts all saw a good amount of playing time last season, they all had their ups and downs and were inconsistent at times but have shown enough to make the roster again in 2017. Langi is an undrafted free agent who the Patriots were high on during the draft process partly due to his versatility of being able to play both inside and outside linebacker as well as being able to rush the passer as a defensive end. Langi has had a good camp so far and should be able to build on it during preseason games and earn a spot on the final roster.
Cornerback: Malcolm Butler, Stephon Gilmore, Eric Rowe, Jonathan Jones, Cyrus Jones
Butler, Gilmore and Rowe are all locks to make the team and be part of a Patriots defense and secondary that should be one of the top in the league. Jonathan Jones played well in the slot late last season and so far, has the upper hand to be the teams nickel and slot corner and also contributes on special teams. Cyrus Jones had his struggles last season as a rookie and is looking to bounce back in his second season. Jones has a lot of talent and potential and was evident that his special teams struggles last season affected him mentally and on the defensive side of the ball. If the Patriots hold Cyrus off of special teams he could look to contribute in a positive way defensively.
Safety: Devin McCourty, Patrick Chung, Jordan Richards, Duron Harmon, Nate Ebner, Brandon King
The only real question out of this group is Jordan Richards, who hasn't played too much over his first few seasons in New England after being selected in the second round. Richards has looked good so far early into training camp before having some struggles during joint practices with the Jaguars. Ebner and King and mostly special teams players who occasionally play and contribute on defense, but will make the roster due to their special teams excellence. Six safeties seem like it could be too many to carry but Ebner and King being primarily special teamers could earn Richards a spot on the final roster in case of any injury that occurs.
via sacbee.com
Special Teams: Stephen Gostkowski, Ryan Allen, Matthew Slater, Joe Cardona
The only real surprise when it comes to special teams is that the Patriots don't have any one in to compete with Gostkowski who struggled drastically last season and missed two field goals during yesterday's first joint practice with the Jaguars.
The Patriots take on the Jaguars Thursday night for their first preseason action of the year. As preseason and training camp goes by I'll continue to update my 53-man projection based on players performances and team needs going forward.

New England Patriots: Belichick Lost Faith In Brady!
December 28, 2015 Bob Snowdon	Leave a comment
You can disagree all you want, but if, as Bill Belichick claims, he meant to kick-off starting O/T against the New York Jets Sunday there can only be one reason. He lost confidence in Tom Brady's ability to pull off another miracle comeback, and that's sad. Brady has made a career out of pulling the team out of the fire, often with limited resources.
The officials meet New York Jets' Darrelle Revis (24), teammate Calvin Pryor (25) and New England Patriots' Matthew Slater (18) and teammate Rob Ninkovich (50) for the coin toss before the overtime period resulting in highly questionable Patriots decision (AP Photo/Peter Morgan)
Those making the claim that he was playing it smart because the defense was playing well (428 yards) and the offense looked stagnant are missing the point. You probably are right in his reasoning, but how many times does Brady have to carry the team on his back to victory for the Head Coach to trust him to do it again?
Instead, by electing to kick, Brady never had a chance to touch the ball. No one can predict what would have happened if the Pats had elected to receive. They may very well have still lost…but at least you gave it your best shot by putting the ball in the hands of the greatest QB in NFL history.
After the game Belichick stuck by his call and said he wouldn't have changed his decision. "We just didn't play good enough defense."
No one takes Rob Gronkowski (87) down one on one ( New York Jets' Antonio Cromartie (31) (AP Photo/Peter Morgan)
Always outspoken Rob Gronkowski had this to say "You always want a shot to score," "It is what it is."
And finally, the always politically correct Tom Brady said "Whatever coach decides, that's what the team does,"
Jet's receiver Brandon Marshall was shocked by the call. "After the game Josh McDaniels came up to me, my old ball coach in Denver, and I asked 'What were you guys thinking?'" Marshall said, via CSN New England. "He explained to me the situation a little bit but I didn't believe him."
As the Head Coach said "I clearly thought that was our best opportunity, so that's why we did it. I didn't like the way it worked out, but to me that was the right decision for our team at that time."
History Repeats Itself
It reminded many Patriot long timers of a call Belichick made on November 11, 2009. New England was ahead of Indianapolis 34-28 with 4th and 2 at their own 28. With just over 2 minutes remaining common sense said punt, but instead the Head Coach went for it… and failed on a controversial call. The Colts took over and scored an easy TD to win 35-34.
Later Belichick said "I thought it was our best chance to win (sounds familiar). I thought we needed to make that one play and then we could basically run out the clock. We weren't able to make it."
A few other factors came into play in that game:
They were facing Payton Manning in his prime and didn't want to give him the ball with an opportunity to win
The New England defense was struggling after the offense built a 17 point lead (In other words he didn't trust it to hold the lead)
Former Patriots disagreed vehemently with the call – Rodney Harrison called it "the worst coaching decision I've ever seen Bill Belichick make."
Tedy Bruschi said, "The decision to go for it would be enough to make my blood boil for weeks. … I would look at this decision as a lack of confidence in our ability as a defensive unit to come up with a big play to win the game."
Sorry fans, but it was a bad call in 2009 and just as bad Sunday!
On To Miami
The good news is, the loss really didn't cost the Patriots their chance to host all their post-season games up to the Super Bowl. A win Sunday in Miami and the season has been a complete success no matter what happens between the Broncos and Bengals. Achieving 100% of their goals for the regular season is astounding considering the injuries they have overcome.
Game Notes:
The Patriots sat their walking wounded with the exception of Dant'a Hightower. It cost them, but was worth it to give Devon McCourty, Patrick Chung, Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman another day of rest.
The loss of McCourty & Chung was noticeable throughout the game and particularly in O/T when confusion in the secondary resulted in a 48-yard completion to Jets receiver Quincy Enunwa on the second play of overtime
Not a bad game by Brady, but also not one of his best. 22 for 31, 231 yards, 1 TD & 1 bad interception when he and Gronkowski seemed to be on a different page.
Steven Jackson made his 1st appearance in a Patriot uniform. As expected he looked a little rusty, carrying the pigskin 7 times for 15 yards
Brandon LaFell was the forgotten man with just 1 reception for 9 yards
James White had the only TD by the offense (leading to Belichick's O/T thought process?)

defense when Jamie Collins recovered the ball and ran it 14 yards for New England's 1st TD
The Patriots were 1 for 10 on 3rd down, leading to their demise (hurry back Edelman & Amendola)
The defense gave up 428 net yards while the offense could muster just 284
So, now it's time to move ahead. It will be interesting to see who suits up against the Dolphins. With Sebastian Vollmer going down the offensive line is once again in shambles, so it is anyone's guess as to who (whom???) plays where.

New England Patriots, NFL, Tennessee Titans
New England Patriots: Play The Subs…PLEASE!
Another goal was reached Sunday when the New England Patriots routed the terrible (3-11) Tennessee Titans 33-16 in their final regular season game at Gillette Stadium. The win brought the beat-up, battered bodies of the home team to 12-2, but, more importantly, Denver's loss to Pittsburgh guaranteed them a first round bye. The Patriots have now earned that honor for an NFL-record six consecutive seasons.
Malcolm Butler had a big game, including this interception in the end zone in front of Harry Douglas (83) (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)
How's This For The Most Dominant Team In This Decade
Second team to ever have at least 6 straight 12 win seasons
Most seasons earning a bye since 12 team playoff format since 1990
5 sacks against Tennessee and at least one sack in every game in 2015
Bill Belichick is 55-11 (.833) in December with New England, the best record in December among head coaches with one team in NFL history (min. 25 games)
Tom Brady tied Peyton Manning for the NFL record with the most seasons with 35 TDs (4)
The Patriots wrap up the season with road games in NY against the Jets and Miami to take on the Dolphins. They need to win one of those two games to assure home field advantage up to the Super Bowl. How important is home field? Well, since 1996 the Patriots are 17-3 playing at home in the real games. 'Nuf said?
So, Who Do You Rest & When?
With injuries piling up every week the question arises, at what point do you start resting some of the walking wounded? The answer seems simple, NOW.
We all know Tom Brady will grit it out until the end, but even with a rotation of healthy running backs (James White has really stepped up and who wasn't impressed with Joey Iosefa, oh yeah, and now Steven Jackson), enough WRs to get by (Brandon LaFell, Keshawn Martin, Leonard Hankerson Chris Harper) and the World's greatest tight end (no need to name him is there?) New England should be able to win one, if not both of their remaining games.
Let Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman get as healthy as possible. Keep them on the bench until the games really matter, 4 weeks from now.
The defense continues to shine, so sitting Dont'a Hightower, Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung shouldn't matter. Yes, all 3 are critical players if the team is to play in Super Bowl 50, but right now they can be replaced in the short run.
Defense Shines Again

Despite an understandable let-up in the second half the defense once again dominated. The list of players impressing grows game-to-game. This week it was Akiem Hicks turn to step up with a strip-sack (Chandler Jones featured photo) fumble recovery for a TD, a sack of his own, 4 tackles and constant pressure up the middle.
Chandler Jones had a two-sack game, bringing his season total to 12 1/2
New England is tied for 1st with Denver in team sacks (47)
The Patriots are now in the Top 10 in all key defensive stats…Points (7th), Yards (6th), Passing (8th), Rushing (10th)

In France at an illegal rave party people had originally been planning to party until Tuesday.
When the police showed up they faced fierce hostility.
The party had ended at 5:30 AM on saturday when people started to realise that the party was basically over, people started to leave the two abandoned warehouses.
The Interior minister of France said that all the equipment was seized , And in total 1200 fines were given.
The BBC said ''On Friday an interior ministry crisis meeting was held and all vehicle exits from the rave were blocked as police sought to shut down the party.''
France introduced a strict new curfew from 20:00 until 6:00 before the shortly before the new year.
A similar event happened in Barcelona where the party had been going on for 40 hours before it had been stopped.

Ex-Snapchat COO Emily White Has A New Startup
Dan Primack
Former Snapchat and Instagram executive Emily White has created a high-end personal concierge startup, Fortune has learned.
The new Santa Monica, Calif.-based startup is called Mave, and is described by one source as a "chief of staff for your household." Indeed, Mave's website is adorned with the image of a woman whose shirt is covered with pinned notes like "Schedule haircuts" and "Pick up the kids at 4:00."
It's unclear if Mave actually performs physical tasks for users (kind of like an upscale version of Hello Alfred) or if it is primarily a virtual scheduling and messaging assistant (like Zirtual or Facebook M). The service currently is operating an invite-only private beta test.
White spent the first nine years of her tech career at Google, before leaving in late 2010 to join Facebook (where she eventually led Instagram's business operations). In early 2014 she left Facebook to become chief operating officer at Snapchat, but only lasted through last March.
She declined to comment for this story, saying that to do so would be "premature."
Update: Fortune has found an archived version of the Mave homepage that says the company pairs "smart, experiences virtual personal assistants — Maves — with category experts, machine learning technology, and a black book of 'Best Of' in your neighborhood." Also, the full-time Maves are based in Los Angeles, and many of them "have supported celebs and high-profile execs."

Canice Carroll
Place of Birth: Oxford
Canice Carroll Player Profile
Debut: Exeter City (A, 1-2), 08/02/2020
The January 2020 transfer deadline day was a hectic one for us; Canice Carroll one of four new signings – but the only permanent one. Billed as a versatile midfielder, it was going to be a quick induction for the lad at the Lamex; Boro' in dire need of some spark, with the spectre of relegation starting to loom large over the club. To be fair, the boss – Graham Westley – had done his homework and knew who he wanted. Now it was down to Carroll to prove him right.
The problem is that Boro' were floundering at the wrong end of the table. And the time that Carroll got to make his impression wasn't long. Our 2019-20 season came to an early end as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. By the end of June 2020, Carroll's deal was up – and the man who brought him in was long gone. Now, Alex Revell was in charge and his rebuilding process had no place in the Boro' squad for Carroll.
Canice Carroll: Before Boro'
For much of his career, Carroll had been on the books at Oxford United; starting out at the Kassam as a young 'un in 2006. In 2015, he secured a scholarship with the club – but that soon became a pro deal in a matter of months. Must be a quick learner, eh? While the 2017-8 campaign is described elsewhere as something of a breakthrough season for him, first team chances were few and far between. Even so, there was enough about him that made Brentford take note; the London club signing him on a two-year B-team deal in 2018.
As a regular member of the Bees' B team (and that's not easy to say), Carroll also had a chance to prove himself out on loan. He joined Swindon Town in January 2019; turning out 17 times and scoring once. For a defensive midfield, that's not such a bad return. And if you compare it with our 2019-20 scoring charts up to the point he came to us, it's a brilliant one! Anyway, that's by the by. He also played for Carlisle United on loan – and was with the Cumbrians right up until the point we moved in. Not that they were a side in our sights as we battled for survival. Ho hum.

Portland ad agency shines with new L.L. Bean 'invisible ink' ad
The New York Times insert produced by The Via Agency is readable only when taken outdoors.
By J. Craig AndersonStaff Writer

A Portland advertising agency received national attention Friday for creating an L.L. Bean print advertisement that is visible only in sunlight.
The ad, which ran as an insert in Friday's New York Times, came about through a combination of strategy, technology and creativity, according to Leeann Leahy, CEO of The Via Agency.
Challenged by changes in retail world, L.L. Bean renews focus on outdoor fun
Indoors, the ad appears to be mostly blank space. It contains just a few words scattered across the page, which say, "L.L. Bean," "Be an outsider," "Bring this outside," and "No, seriously. Take this outside."
When exposed to sunlight, the ad's missing text appears in sky blue ink in a manner similar to a Polaroid photo developing, but faster. It begins, "Welcome to the outside. Where there are no strangers. Only friends we haven't met yet."
The ad goes on to extol the virtues of an outdoor life, and it encourages readers to explore the outdoors. It does not specifically mention L.L. Bean or its products. Once the ad is taken back indoors, the text quickly disappears.
Leahy described the text as a "manifesto" that was developed by the agency as a guide to the ad campaign it is producing for L.L. Bean, which is called "Be an Outsider." She said it originally was intended for internal use only.
"We wrote it so that everyone understood what 'being an outsider' meant," she said. Because of client confidentiality concerns, she declined to reveal the cost of the ad.
Via began working with the Freeport-based outdoor retailer in March after competing with other agencies from around the country for the L.L. Bean contract. The first Via-produced ads for L.L. Bean began running in July.
Early on, one of the agency's creative teams came up with the idea of using photochromic ink, which changes color under ultraviolet light such as that of the sun or a blacklight, to prompt readers to actually take the ad outdoors in order to read it, Leahy said. It was decided that the manifesto would be ideal for such an ad.
"The guys at L.L. Bean really loved it," she said. "The challenge was, 'Can we print that?'"
Via contracted with a company called Chromatic Technologies Inc. in Colorado to produce the inserts, which were not actually printed on New York Times newsprint. The company, also known as CTI, has used specialty inks to produce a broad range of color-changing marketing materials and packaging for products such as Coca-Cola soft drinks, Duracell batteries, Lay's potato chips and Coors Light beer.
The light-sensitive ad received widespread praise on social media Friday, and an online feature about it by the trade publication Adweek was the site's most popular story of the day.
"We're very excited about the response we received today," said Chris McDonough, chief marketing officer at L.L. Bean. "We really wanted to kickstart the campaign with something that would be pretty unique."
McDonough said the New York Times ad was the product of "a lot of conversations around how you could get people to take a blank piece of paper … and take it outside."
The "call to action" aspect of the ad really appealed to L.L. Bean executives, he said. It got people to get up and go outdoors, which is the whole point of the ad campaign.
The sunlight-sensitive ad was meant as a one-off but could be repeated in some form in the future, McDonough said. Leahy said her agency has other inventive ideas for L.L. Bean ads that it intends to deploy in the future.
"Of course we do … but I can't tell you what they are," she said.

Singapore - Unilever today announced the opening of Four Acres Singapore, the company's first global leadership development centre outside of the UK. This €50m facility will play a key role in developing the talent to lead Unilever, as it aims to double the size of the business, while halving its environmental impact and increasing its positive social impact.
Unilever's decision to locate the new facility in Asia highlights the company's increasing focus on developing and emerging markets, which now account for over 55 percent of its global revenue. In the past three years, Unilever has grown consistently, increasing turnover by over €10bn. Four Acres Singapore will help increase the supply of talented leaders to sustain this momentum.
Four Acres Singapore will be used to develop leaders with a 'purpose-driven' approach to business. This is in keeping with the stance Unilever has taken throughout its history, where it has strongly advocated for corporations and corporate leaders to actively support the broader needs of society.
Singapore Prime Minister, Mr. Lee Hsien Loong, opened the facility, accompanied by Mr. Leo Yip, Chairman, Singapore Economic Development Board, Mr. Png Cheong Boon, Chief Executive Officer, JTC Corporation, Mr. Manohar Khiatani, President and CEO, Ascendas and Mr. Paul Polman,Chief Executive Officer, Unilever.
Four Acres Singapore will support Unilever's efforts to develop tomorrow's business leaders, said Mr. Polman.
"In an increasingly volatile and uncertain world, a new type of leader is being called for – both in Unilever and society as a whole. These leaders must be guided by values and understand the responsibility of leadership for the 21st century. We will actively seek and develop these leaders through Four Acres.
"Four Acres London has set the standard in leadership development since it was established over 60 years ago, underpinning our commitment to nurturing world class talent. The launch of Four Acres Singapore will continue this tradition, further lifting our capacity and underlining our commitment to Asia – as an increasingly important hub for talent," said Mr. Polman.
Four Acres Singapore will deliver more than half of all of Unilever's global leadership development programmes, as part of a single, fully global curriculum. The academic programme has been developed in partnership with some of the world's leading academic and business institutions such as INSEAD, Harvard Business School and Singapore Management University. With the opening of the new campus, Unilever will have the capability to deliver training to around 2,800 people annually, across both locations.
"The Economic Development Board (EDB) is delighted that Unilever has chosen Singapore to establish its first global leadership development centre outside of London. Four Acres Singapore is testament to Singapore's 'Home for Talent' strategy for companies to access, develop and deploy talent. We proudly welcome Unilever as our strategic partner in talent development, and pioneering tenant at Nepal Hill," said Mr. Yip.
Singapore is the logical choice for the new campus, suggested Mr. Polman, given Unilever's significant operation in the market, including the company's global operations hub. "Singapore sits at the nexus of the developed and emerging world. It's a leading hub for leadership and innovation, and a gateway to the rapidly growing Asian economies. When our future leaders come here, whichever part of the world they come from, we know they will gain exposure to new insights and perspectives.
"The launch of Four Acres Singapore provides the opportunity to take leadership development – in the service of both Unilever and the communities where we operate – to a whole new level. This is an exciting opportunity and a historic moment in the life of the company," concluded Mr. Polman.
Hellmann's, Lipton, Rexona / Sure, Wall's, Lux, Rama, Ponds and Axe, 14 of which now generate a turnover of €1 billion or more.


HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP (KDKA) — Police now say a Greensburg man allegedly beat his elderly father to death before setting fire to his family home.
That was Fisher's first reaction to the news that her neighbor Douglas Novak admitted to beating his 92-year-old father, Frank Novak, to death as well as setting his father's home on fire to cover the killing up.
Investigators believe, with his father dead in an upstairs bedroom, the younger Novak lit multiple fires. Fisher, who called 911, headed to the burning structure.
"There was a man standing there. He looked at me and shut the door in my face," Fisher said.
Fisher believes that man at the door was Douglas Novak.
Investigators believe Novak fled the home only to be captured by state troopers a short time later. The 40-year-old admitted to bludgeoning his father death because he couldn't find his cell phone.
"For some reason, Douglas Novak believed that Frank Novak, his father, had either hidden his phone or taken his phone. He believed if he kept physically hurting his father that he was going to get this information," Limani said.
"I'm sure the hammer of justice will be just as swift," Fisher said.
Already facing multiple arson charges, Doug Novak remains in the Westmoreland County Jail. He now also faces criminal homicide charges.

Fayemi Reacts To Alleged Sale Of Government Properties By Fayose
Enioluwa Adeniyi
Ayodele Fayose, Ekiti State Governor, and the governor elect in the state, Kayode Fayemi, on Friday engaged in exchange of words over allegation of sale of some properties belonging to the state government, including the Oja Oba ultramodern market.
Fayemi, during the week through a statement by Yinka Oyebode, his Chief Press Secretary, had called on the public to beware of moves by the Fayose to dispose of some valuable properties of the state via alleged shady arrangements.
The statement read, "The attention of the Governor-Elect of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has been drawn to the clandestine moves by the outgoing Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, to hurriedly dispose of some valuable properties of the Ekiti State Government through shady arrangements.
"Some of the properties are: a large expanse of land between the Ondo State Civil Service Commission and Elan Club, in front of the Government Printing Press, Alagbaka, Akure; Erinfun Livestock Development Centre, covering 600 hectares of land along the Federal Polytechnic Road, Ado-Ekiti; the new Oja Oba market.
"We hereby inform and advise the general public, particularly prospective buyers, to be circumspect in entering into any transaction with the outgoing governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, in respect of any of the properties mentioned above or any other one whatsoever, as the incoming administration may not recognise or give effect to such transactions. A word is enough for the wise!"
Fayose, while recating to the allegation, stated that he still remains the governor of the state till October 16, urging Fayemi to wait for the time he would be sworn in.
He said, "The governor-elect is wasting his time. I am still the governor of Ekiti State till October 15 legitimately. He is only ranting. That is ranting. He should wait for his time. Somebody stole a mandate and he is still claiming to have a mandate.
"It is the kind of leadership we have in the country that causes this kind of issue. I was elected for a four-year term, which will end in about six weeks' time. I will function till the last day of my departure. If he likes, he can do what he likes during his tenure. The record will be there for him.
"Was he the one that built the market? I built it and I am allocating it. The people will have legal backing to protect them. They want to come and give it to their cronies. I will do my legitimate job until the last day of my departure. Even if I want to sell Ekiti property, I am still the governor here. When he comes, everything will be in public domain."

Q: Committing specific changes on gh-pages branch via a GitHub action that triggers on pushes to master I have two branches in a repository which contains an R package:

*

*the 'master' branch,

*and a 'gh-pages' branch, from where the documentation website for the package is hosted.

Whenever there is a commit to master changing any of the R files present in the R/ folder, (i.e. tree/master/R/*.R) I would like to push those changes to the gh-pages branch via GitHub Actions. (these R files are used to generate the man files which in turn create the documentation) I wouldn't like to push changes other than those involving a change in R/ directory, since they are irrelevant for the purpose of generating the documentation.
How can we update such changes on a gh-pages branch (or any other branch) via a GitHub Action which triggers on pushes to the master branch, considering only commits for the R files within the R/ directory? Could someone show an example of a .yaml file introducing such a workflow?
Help will be appreciated!

A: There are two actions for gh-pages that might help you:

*

*github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages

*github.com/marketplace/actions/deploy-to-github-pages
The second gives a .yaml example that correspond to what you want to do.
Moreover, you can specify in your workflow.yaml file which directory to watch to trigger your workflow.
There is an example in this stackoverflow question: Github Actions - How do you trigger a push when a specific directory in a branch gets an update?
(This example is with a push but you can use with other options as well)

When to review a proposal presents a dilemma. The later the review, the better the shape the review document is in. However, a late review may not leave sufficient time to fix problems. The best way to handle this dilemma is to have one or more short reviews early in the proposal writing process.
While a traditional red team evaluation can be effective under the right circumstances, other methods are available. If the proposal is on an extremely tight schedule, for example, companies may wish to employ review approaches such as: running red teams, single person reviews, and internal reviews by members of the proposal team who were not involved with the preparation of the section being reviewed.
The traditional red team is normally tasked with (1) evaluating and recommending improvement fixes and/or (2) evaluating and scoring the proposal according to the solicitation evaluation factors.
The team makes recommendations on how deficiencies can be fixed. Although this red team does not have the customer expertise to formally score the proposal in accordance with the solicitation evaluation factors, it is helpful to provide an informal quality score (excellent, good, marginal, and unacceptable) of each section for general evaluation purposes.
Evaluating each solicitation requirement, listing proposer benefits and deficiencies, and identifying needed clarifi- cations for each solicitation requirement providing a specific score to each evaluated proposal section/subsection according to the solicitation evaluation factors.
In order for this red team to score a proposal effectively, its members must have a comprehensive understanding of the customer's requirements including the budget for the proposed work and political agendas. This type of red team should include recent employees of the customer.
Running Red Team: When a proposal is on an extremely tight schedule, a running red team is often an effective method of proposal evaluation. When a writer completes a section draft, he or she immediately gives it to the running red team for a quick response evaluation.
For the most effective red team reviews, it is essential to select the right individuals, to ensure that they are adequately prepared prior to the actual proposal review, and to prepare the proposal properly for the review.
The foundation for an efficient red team is a team of skilled, experienced reviewers. Red team members comprised of all outsiders will generally be more objective than one with company members. Avoid using senior company executives on the red team unless they agree to give full-time effort to the review. The most important member of a red team is the red team manager. The ideal individual is someone totally familiar with the proposal review process, the proposal preparation, and the customer's requirements.
Red team members should be limited to those individuals who Can spend not only sufficient time evaluating the proposal but who can also assist the proposal team in making fixes. If early reviews (blue teams, pink teams, etc.) are used, the reviewers should be the same as those on the red team.
One important review often omitted is the cost volume review. Many contracts are lost because of major inconsistencies between the proposal technical and cost volumes.
The red team evaluation should be planned early. The proposal manager and capture manager should jointly select the red team manager. The capture manager, proposal manager, and red team manager should then determine the type of red team to be used, its exact function, and a list of desired red team members. Red team members should be provided with copies of the solicitation as soon as possible.
The most important thing in preparing a proposal for review is having it complete. If important text and graphics are missing or incomplete, the review is a waste of time. To ensure that the red team will understand the proposal, it is also important to write the proposal for the reviewer and to have totally completed executive summaries and section introductions that contain all major themes and discriminators.
I recommend that the proposal be given a hard edit prior to red team review. I used to believe that significant editing prior to red team review was a waste of time. However, earlier this year I had a proposal assignment that changed my mind. I was managing two proposals that were similar in type and content and that were written concurrently by the same authors for the same federal customer. One of the proposals had a shorter due date, and we did not have the time to edit it prior to red team review. The reviewers of the unedited proposal came back with comments mostly relating to minor editing. However, the reviewers of the edited document were able to identify real deficiencies and weaknesses.
In addition to having the text and graphics complete before the review, a detailed compliance matrix should be included. This compliance matrix should be in a check-off-list format that follows the requested information of the solicitation proposal instructions, evaluation factors, and statement of work.
Reviewers should avoid general comments like, "motherhood," "marketing baloney," and "re-write." Be specific in making comments and recommendations.
The red team should meet and prepare a formal debriefing to The proposal team. The presenters should emphasize only the major points relating to deficiencies, weaknesses, and strengths: minor issues can be documented on written evaluation forms. The red team should concentrate their presentation on a realistic approach to improve the proposal. Comments written in individual books should be combined into a single book.
After the red team evaluation, the red team members should assist the proposal team in making the recommended fixes. When this responsibility is understood in advance of the review, the red team comments will invariably be more realistic. The proposal manager is the person in charge of the proposal and he/she will have final say on accepting and implementing any red team recommendations.


Gina Maffey is a PhD student in Applied Ecology at the University of Aberdeen. Among other things she talks about deer a lot. If you like deer, and other things, you can find her @ginazoo on twitter. She who has recently completed a Media Fellowship with the British Science Association and this post she tells us about the similarities she discovered between science and the media.
This was one of the questions that was on the media fellowship application form, and the one that I felt most prepared to answer. "Science communication is a vital part of the research process." "It will help further my own PhD." "I want to get a true understanding of how 'the other side' works." I still stand by the first two of these statements. However, 'the other side', may not be a phrase that I continue to use in the future.
For six weeks this summer I spent my time at the BBC in Birmingham with Countryfile, Costing the Earth and Farming Today. It was an eye-opening experience and one that I would happily repeat. The fellowships are designed to help bridge the communication gap between journalists and scientists facilitating a better relationship between the two disciplines. There are a lot of things that have already been said of the differences between science and the media, and there has been much work done by the Science Media Centre to improve links and dialogue across the two. For me it was the three similarities that I found in both science and the media that were more surprising.
Money, time and audience. Research and filming are both restricted by money. If you haven't got the funding a research project can't go ahead and a film can't be recorded, no matter how interesting you think it is. Time is also a major limiting factor. The time required to put a project together, the time to get the right people involved. Science and the media just work on slightly different scales. And finally, audience. If you're not making pieces that engage with people, if you're not conducting research that research councils are interested in it's difficult to be sustainable. In short, it's difficult to do anything if no one is listening.
If, however, the media do start listening it's important to remember that the media is made up of people too. Yes, some can be intimidating and a minor few might be out to trip you up, but the majority are friendly, polite and inquisitive people (just maybe a little time pressured). At the end of the day it's a conversation that one of you is going to learn something from. And, I'd ask, how is that any different from Science?

Diga (Jesse James Gon) is bringing music from the new Digawolf album 'Yellowstone' to the Snowking festival stage Saturday.
"It'll be the first time that the new songs got played with a full band set-up and actual instruments. We did some tryouts here and there, but that was acoustic and laid back. But tomorrow it's supposed to be loud," says producer on the album Yellowstone Jan de Vroede. Diga will share the stage with David Dowe (drums), Johnny Mackenzie (bass) and de Vroede, who is also producer of the album.
Diga and de Vroede met at a show in Vancouver. "I liked his style of playing and his sound," Diga says. "We made a point of maybe someday doing a project together. And lo and behold I'm flying to Europe."
They spent 30 days in the Danish countryside in May 2017, recording Yellowstone in a barn 'surrounded by animals, by cows' Diga laughs.
"I tried to do all of this without heading south. Living here and playing music and having your home here still," Diga says of the motivation behind his career. "Yellowknife is always going to be there for me and I'm always going to be a part of Yellowknife."
Born in Behchoko, Diga stays true to his roots by creating music in Tlicho. "There are a few tracks on the album where I just had to sing it in my language, simply because if you were to translate it in English the meaning is lost."
De Vroede says he was inspired by the tracks in Tlicho as a producer.
"If you just do straightforward music with clearer lyrics about broken hearts and driving on the highway, it becomes a bit tedious and formulaic. Here you couldn't really follow the actual lyrics as much as the overall mood."
Yellowstone has gotten some great reviews since it was released. One in Exclaim! magazine called it a 'modern Canadian masterpiece'. The same review says the title track Yellowstone is a 'love song for the ages.'
Digawolf, together with Jan de Vroede, will play the opening night of the Snowking's Winter Festival at the snow castle on Yellowknife Bay Saturday night. Digawolf follows a performance by Carmen Braden, together with Pat Braden and David Dowe. Castle doors open at 8 p.m. and the show starts 9 p.m. sharp.

The Video Games About Nothing
By Andrew King on at
Seinfeld is a sitcom about the mundane and tragicomic aspects of everyday life, a subject matter that led to George Costanza's infamous fourth-walling description of it: "the show is about nothing!" True as that may be, it seems like indie developers continue to find and awful lot of nothing to work with.
The almost-three-decades-old comedy-cum-mainstream hit's history in video games wasn't contemporary with the show, as far as I can tell anyway, which started in 1989 then finished airing in 1998. One of the first substantial sightings seems to be Kramer popping up at Newgrounds in 2004, with a starring role in an NSFW browser-based visual novel. In 2008, a scene from episode "The Contest" got a ragdoll remake in Garry's Mod. The moment from the show where Jerry and Kramer dropped a Junior Mint into some dude's body cavity would be immortalised in a flash game in 2014. Today there are various Seinfeld-inspired games on itch.io, Seinfeld mods populate the Steam Workshop, and a well-known indie developer is working on a Seinfeld point-and-click adventure with the director of Childish Gambino's "Feels Like Summer" music video.
Thing is, an 'official' game isn't really on the cards. But wherever games or mods can be made on the cheap and distributed for free, Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer have shined as bright as a Kenny Rogers Roasters sign. These games are the real deal, even if sometimes they fall short of the inspiration, and show how the indie scene enables creators with impossible-to-market ideas to find fellow enthusiasts regardless. Here we'll walk-and-talk our way through the history of games and mods inspired by the show, and speak with creators about the processes and inspirations behind their finished games. Giddy up!
Hello, Newgrounds
In 1995 Seinfeld was in the middle of its seventh season, and simultaneously Tom Fulp was taking his Neo Geo fanzine, New Ground, online. It was reborn a short while later as Newgrounds andm in the early 2000s, became a haven for Internet creators to share their art, music, movies and games – no matter how tasteless and offensive.
One of those tasteless and offensive games was a pornographic visual novel starring Jerry's improbably high-haired next door neighbour. Kramer Hentai Adventure, created by Newgrounds user MessYouUpMac, casts the player as "Cosmo Kramer, the ASSMAN," who's searching the globe for "hot anime women." Gameplay is typical visual novel fare, as players click through screens of text attempting to pick the dialogue options that will lead to anime sex scenes. Pick the wrong option and you'll hit a game over screen.
MessYouUpMac's version of Kramer is a horndog asshole that doesn't bear much resemblance to Michael Richards' lovable mooch (except visually – Kramer is a copy-pasted press photo of Richards). The sensibility of the game (and the three sequels MessYouUpMac created) is more of a snapshot of early-to-mid 2000s internet culture, with the Seinfeld layer adding a touch of surreality. The fourth game in the series features a bizarro version of Kramer telling a knock-knock joke with the punchline "God doesn't exist and also fuck America." Edgy!
Unfortunately MessYouUpMac could not be reached for comment. Their Newgrounds account has been inactive since 2008. I can at least doff the cap to this creator's description of their own game: "THIS IS NOT GOOD AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND PLAYING IT."
Kramer Hentai Adventure found an audience on Newgrounds, with over one million views, and the title's continued existence suggests Warner Bros.' approach to fan-created content: as long as no-one is trying to turn a profit, it doesn't seem they're too bothered.
Mods About Nothing
Valve's games have always encouraged extensive community participation, with many standalone games beginning life as user-created takes on existing titles. Half-Life 2 is no exception: the 2004 first-person shooter ultimately enabled 'walking simulators' like The Stanley Parable and Dear Esther, alongside a raft of mods and multiplayer conversions that allowed players to mess with Valve's Source engine (the most well-known and successful being Garry's Mod).
Garry Newman's creation (which culminated in a standalone release published by Valve in 2006) invited players to create their own levels complete with furniture, characters and ragdolls. In 2008, one user decided it was time that Garry met Jerry. PC Gamer executive editor Tyler Wilde, who worked for GamesRadar at the time, brought the full extent of Garry's Mod's unsettling, ragdolly power to bear on a scene from Seinfeld's infamous masturbation abstinence episode "The Contest."
"I think I just saw inherent comedy in taking a famous sitcom scene and reproducing it with animated characters I had very little control of, and really embracing how bad I was at keeping them in line," Wilde told me via email, "like how George physically flies out of the window at one point. And also, to do that with a Kramer entrance, he becomes the most accurately represented character while the others struggle to stay in their skin, as if they've all been nudged into a more Kramer-like universe. That was funny to me and I probably chose the scene just because it had a big Kramer entrance. Unruly physics was kind of the height of video game comedy at the time. Might still be."
While creative players like Wilde used mods to re-stage Seinfeld scenes, others made their own mods to inject a touch of Seinfeld into otherwise-unrelated games.
Doug Keener produced one of the most popular: a complete recreation of Jerry's apartment running in Doom II — including the unseen fourth wall behind the TV set. Pixelated versions of Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer and Newman wander the apartment and hallway outside, spouting their famous catchphrases (Kramer exclaims "Yo-Yo Ma!" when shot).
Others have created much less extensive in-game tributes. A Garry's Mod add-on, made by user StealthPaw, simply plays the wobbly bass of the Seinfeld theme whenever you die.
Most Seinfeld-inspired mods hew closer to small effects like these than Keener's full-scale creation. Mods have always been the place that creators can tweak their favourite games to inject a little of the flavor they want. What's the difference, really, between giving yourself an unlimited supply of ammo and giving yourself an unlimited supply of Seinfeld?
High Profile, No Profit
The more improbable a Seinfeld-related project seems, the bigger buzz it tends to generate. The Junior Mint – potentially the most improbable of all – is no exception. The project began in the mind of Jason Richards (an appropriately Seinfeldian name) who is behind the popular twitter user @Seinfeld2000, a shitposting humour account born from a desire to relentlessly mock the then-popular parody account Modern Seinfeld.
"I was someone who had followed Modern Seinfeld and then had grown tired of their bit, and then grown even irritated by it," Richards said over the phone, adding that he received more than his fair share of messages from friends with links to @ModernSeinfeld tweets.
"This was just sort of the natural response. And I remember thinking, 'I'm just going to do the mocking, kind of really dumb version of theirs with the whole conceit being, 'This is a copy of a copy, this is a degraded, kind of deranged version of what they're doing.' And I remember at the time thinking, 'If I can get a few hundred followers and them to acknowledge the existence of this account, I can have confirmation that they had seen me making fun of them…' I would have blown off some steam and that would have been it."
It's more than five years later, and Richards' account is still active, now with roughly 210,000 followers. In the early days Richards worked hard to broaden his oeuvre beyond the confines of the Twitter account.
"I would try to do these larger multimedia projects that would make people go 'How is it possible that this very dumb thing is capable of this type of production value?'" he said.
The first of those projects was an eBook Richards wrote and published through Smashwords. The book, which Richards was selling for $2, earned him a cease and desist from Warner Bros. Smashwords took it down. Then Richards created a website called SeinQuest 2000 where users were treated to a "guided meditation" session, during which a narrator pondered the big questions of life such as "What if Seinfeld is still, like, on TV today?"
After that, according to Richards, a video game seemed like a natural next step. He briefly attempted to learn programming himself, but ultimately decided the project would be in better hands with a professional on board. He reached out to Pippin Barr, an experimental game developer who Richards had become aware of while watching Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present, a documentary on Abramovic's performance art exhibition of the same name. Barr had created a browser-based game (also called The Artist is Present) as part of Abramovic's release strategy.
Barr agreed to help and, over the course of a few months, the pair created The Junior Mint, a browser-based game (which also released on mobile) that, like Wilde's Garry's Mod skit six years before, sought to recreate a single famous scene from the show. Barr and Richards mined plenty of comic fodder from this moment.
Jerry and Kramer, observing an operation from the elevated vantage of a viewing balcony above, accidentally drop a Junior Mint into the body cavity of the patient below. To their horror, the surgeon stitches the patient back up with the "very refreshing" mint "next to vital organs in their abdominal cavity."
While in the show the action is accidental, getting as many Junior Mints as possible "into the hole" becomes the twisted goal of the gamified version. The candy bounces off surgery equipment and the doctor's head on the way down. Miley Cyrus, clad in her "Wrecking Ball" regalia, swings in repeatedly as the single blasts in the background.
"The Junior Mint angle all came from @Seinfeld2000 – he was absolutely determined that it would make a fantastic web and mobile game that people would really want to play again and again. And I think he turned out to be right – it's a very compelling and simple game design that aligns well with that one moment in Seinfeld," Barr told me via email.
"It's even better in some ways because instead of it being a single moment of horror as in the show, it becomes a repetitive, intentional action, an overload of visuals and sounds. All this is absolutely credit to @Seinfeld2000 though, he was the engine behind it all."
Richards sees himself not as the engine of the project, but rather a pulley system to lift some of the "hard labor" off of Barr. He Photoshopped art assets together, collected sound effects and wrote press releases. Most importantly, he found the game's third (and highest profile) collaborator: Ezra Koenig, lead singer of Vampire Weekend.
Koenig had been following @Seinfeld2000 for some time, and Richards was a fan of the frontman's work. He reached out to Koenig for a musical sample, something to play over the title screen and behind the in-game action. Richards hoped, at most, for a guitar lick or instrumental, but Koenig sent back an acapella track of him scatting the Seinfeld theme song.
All of this star power added up to a glowing reception upon the game's release, including write-ups at Huffington Post, Daily Dot, Spin and Consequence of Sound. The original website domain was seized by squatters, but the game is still playable at Barr's website.
The '90s Sitcom Gets A '90s Genre Game
Jacob Janerka made his debut on the indie scene with an adventure game that had a charmingly weird sense of humour. But Paradigm, a surreal 2017 point-and-clicker, mostly takes its comedy cues from the noughties onwards. When Janerka lists his comedy influences – Tim and Eric, Monty Python, Flight of the Conchords, The Mighty Boosh, Peep Show – it's mostly a who's who of the alt-comedy scene of the 2000s (Python excluded).
That makes Janerka's current on-again, off-again project something of a departure. While it isn't the primary game on his plate ("I got spooked" Janerka tells me, worrying that Warner Bros. could sue him into oblivion if he released the game), the Australian developer has been doing writing and pixel art for a point-and-click adventure game designed to play out as an episode of Seinfeld.
"A lot of comedians consider Seinfeld a master class in comedy," Janerka says via Skype. "A lot of people grew up on it."
Janerka is one of them.
"In Australia, they used to have it playing every weekday after The Simpsons. So you watched The Simpsons, you watched Seinfeld and then you'd go to bed. At that age I wouldn't have understood a lot of comedy, when I was in primary school, but I ended up rewatching it when I was in university, because it was the daytime TV so I would watch it during lunch and stuff like that."
The episode Janerka is writing is titled "The Email." The game takes place shortly after the show's finale in 1998. Janerka said that he hadn't originally intended to create the game, but had been inspired by fan response to some basic pixel art of George that he posted on Twitter.
"[It was] really basic, so basic, and it blew up like crazy, even just the basic George thing," Janerka said. "No animation, just like George flapping his mouth. And then I was like, 'Oh shit, people really like this, like Seinfeld,' so I kept making more and more and people liked it."
Now, years later, as a game developer, Janerka's impressed by how well the game's scenarios lend themselves to game design.
"It just has the perfect set-up for, specifically, a point-and-click adventure game because, one, [the show] is from the same era when they came out. Two, the comedy lends itself to it. Seinfeld has all the props; it has the Seinfeld objects: the suit, the yo-yo. It's exactly like a point-and-click adventure game."
"And there's a ton of puzzles. Even like the [marble rye] when they have to get it through the roof and George has to get the fishing line, that's such a game puzzle. Like 'find the fishing rod to get the bread,' kind of thing."
When I spoke to Janerka he said that the project was on hiatus, even if he has recruited top-shelf talent. His writing partner on the game, Ivan Dixon, recently directed Childish Gambino's "Feels Like Summer" music video, and has worked on projects as diverse as Fallout 4 and Gotye's "Seven Hours with a Backseat Driver" vid.
If the Seinfeld adventure game does eventually make it out the door, it will be the most ambitious attempt ever made to render Seinfeld interactive. Eschewing the Photoshopped art of previous Flash titles, itch.io games and mods, Janerka and Dixon's game is a built-from-the-ground-up pixel art recreation of Jerry's world, and that's why even the prospect of it is so exciting.
No-one outside of Warner Bros. will ever make money from a game bearing the Seinfeld name. And that's probably the best way for it to be. Nostalgia is often weaponised commercially; but that's not what any of these games are doing. These games come from a place of love and, by revelling in the surreal and blowing out individual jokes into standalone experiences, capture the show's spirit in a manner that any official production would struggle to match.

A book intended as a joke became the top-selling book on Amazon. Written by conservative author Michael J. Knowles, "Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide" features blank pages--a dig at his Democratic rivals, according to the Associated Press.
The book has a table of contents, chapters, and a bibliography, but no text appears on the pages other than the book and chapter titles. It's described as "a political treatise sure to stand the test of time."
The 266-page paperback book costs $8.
In an interview with Fox News, Knowles said that when he took a look at the Democrats' "record and reasons to vote for them," he thought "it was probably best to just leave all the pages blank."
Amazon customers played along, too, by leaving acclaimed reviews.
"An absolutely stunning an enlightening book," one customer said. "It will forever change my voting choices after the guided and well-made reasoning in this book. Excellent book will defiantly recommend."
Exhaustive, yet concise, treatment of the reasons to vote for Democrats. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it as a teaching tool for any potential voter. This book is truly unparalleled," another said.
