New York City Bicycle Accident - Pulvers, Pulvers, Thompson L.L.P.
It has taken a long time for New York to take bicycles seriously as a means of transportation. The general attitude has long been that the streets and byways throughout the city and the state are the province of automobiles. Many people even take objection to the growing numbers of bicycle lanes on the streets. These are almost always blocked with parked cars, stored objects or trash.
Many see bicycles as adult toys and view riders as fun-seekers without serious purpose.
All of these attributions are the cyclist's own fault.
About 500 pedestrians wind up hospitalized each year after accidents with cyclists, a recent study showed. At the same time, New York continues plans to install 1,800 bike lane miles by 2030.
The news report implies that the city's bike lane plan is a negative development and bicycle use should be reduced rather than increased in NYC.
Left Turn Accident: The driver of the car makes a left turn in front of the cyclist.
Gap Turn Bike Accident: The driver of an on-coming vehicle suddenly makes a turn through an opening in backed-up stopped traffic and the cyclist is travelling in the opposite direction next to the curb and passing the backed-up line of cars.
Right Turn Bike Accident: When a motor vehicle travels parallel to the cyclist, accelerates, passes and then makes an unexpected right turn without signaling.
Side Swipe Bike Accident: When the width of the vehicle is dangerously extended. This increases the chance of hitting a bicyclist who is lawfully riding along the right side of the road. This situation usually results in severe injuries or death.
Doored by Car: When a door is flung open on the driver's or passenger side of a car and a rider is coming either from back or front.
Rear End Collision: When a cyclist moves into the roadway to make his or her left-hand turn. Simultaneously, a motorist comes up quickly from behind and 'rear-end' the cyclist.

Honcho Poncho are five guys who grew up in the middle of one of music's most beloved cities; the one and only, Seattle, Washington. And they took advantage of growing up in their rainy city by immersing themselves in the wondrous music scene.
The group, made up of Kalin, Charlie, Jonah, Owen, and Sam, are all working musicians who've played in a range of different bands, inheriting sounds from every genre they've at one point or another inhabited. No matter if they're playing in Mary Lambert's band or a funky R&B combo, Honcho Poncho is the band they call home. The guys don't necessarily set out to be something different, but different is exactly what you get when you find yourself listening to their knee-clapping, foot-tapping debut album Late Night. It's an entirely appropriate title for an LP that took hundreds upon hundreds of late nights to make… around 730 days to be exact.
Late Night was a record based on trial and error, and it becomes evident in the eight meticulously-crafted songs. It's full of those late-night-feel-good tunes that you'll find yourself listening to when it's long past midnight and it's just you with your closest friends. The folk-rock album effortlessly emphasizes classic strumming acoustic guitars and vibrant piano melodies, all while adding their own alternative, Honcho Poncho twist. We had a chance to talk to the founder, frontman, and lyricist of the group, Sam where we got to talking about the origins of Honcho Poncho, our favorite lyricists, and fellow Seattle native Father John Misty.
How did Honcho Poncho begin. Where did you all meet and how did you all come together to form the group?
It started when I made a series of recordings by myself and wrote a couple songs. I took those and applied to a music festival in Seattle called Sound Off! I was accepted and then I needed to form a band to surround me. So I started gathering folks that way initially. The new lineup was formed one summer when I was working at a festival called Doe Bay Fest and I ran into this guy named Kevin who booked the festival. He offered me a spot at another music festival called Chomp! At that point I started gathering the crew again and we started now with our current lineup. That was our first show altogether.
All of you kind of came from different genres – a couple of you were in garage rock bands, you were in a folk/country band – is that how you guys kind of chose to go the folk, alternative rock route?
It's just sort of the music that I write. I've always found it really difficult whenever I join a band that's like, "We want to be this type of band!" I mean, it's fun and you can do it, but it doesn't feel as authentic as when you have a group of songwriters and we're all just writing what comes to us naturally. I think after picking up all of the different styles from playing in punk bands and country bands, I eventually started mixing it all together. Those guys bring in a lot of different stuff: Kalin is in an R&B funk band, and Owen, our guitarist, he gets around town as a jazz guitarist. We're all coming from really different places. Our bass player plays bass for the Mary Lambert Band, but this is home base now. We all go off and do our own thing, but this is the thing that we call home as a project now.
So everyone's sort of focused their gears towards Honcho Poncho now?
We all knew that we were interested in playing in it, but we didn't necessarily have the means. Sometimes it takes a little financial interest to get behind a project, especially for these guys who are all working musicians. With this one, we all just sort of showed up and were like, "Hey, these tunes are really fun to play and people really seem to like them, so why not just keep going with it?" Everyone needs what I like to call "Scooby Snacks," where it's just like your songs get added to rotation on the radio station and people keep listening and buying your stuff. It's just sort of ya' know…just Scooby Snacks! Everyone gets excited and they can keep going because they're doing what they love.
Do you think that growing up in Seattle has played a part in all of your guys' musical identity? Or do you not really see Seattle as part of the equation?
I think it's a huge part of the equation. I mean we live in an age where we have information at any time, but you still can't escape the fact when you turn on the radio in Seattle, you're probably gonna hear Fleet Foxes. There are sounds that have come out of here and have faded away, then have come back. The genres are in an interesting cycle in this city, where it depends on what band has branched out from a certain genre to make it sort of solidified in a public sphere. What I dig about what Honcho Poncho is doing is that it seems to be something that I don't see a whole lot of other bands in this sort of age in Seattle doing. That could either be a really good thing or a really bad thing. Who knows? I think that a lot of artists in Seattle sort of wait for their moment in a way. They wait for when their work is needed and then the community is so supportive here that I think it does play a huge role in it. I mean things like KEXP, and all of the different concert series and festivals that go on around town; it's a really supportive community. It's a very open access point too. There's not a whole lot of homework that you need to do in order to be in the right rooms.
I've noticed that Seattle breeds a lot of garage-punk bands.
Yeah! It's interesting because I think that the three waves – and it's hard to say if we're in one now – but I think that way back we had grunge, then we had the folk rock era, and now we're sort of in another rock and roll phase, but it seems a little more like everyone's swimming, looking for what exactly the town is in the mood for. There are a lot of old itches that are being scratched by a lot of bands in town that reminds me of another time when other bands were playing around town like Built to Spill. Yet no one's really been like, "Hey you sound like that other band from another time," which is refreshing. It happens a lot and it's hard to escape especially when you're in a town where music is so cherished, local music especially. It's easy to kind of cross breed those styles.
That makes total sense. I feel like for rock and roll… nostalgia is nice but I think that being new and different is a lot better, obviously. It separates you. Listeners won't try to pigeonhole you. So when you were growing up in Seattle, was music something that you always wanted to pursue?
Yes. I mean, I think it's sort of hard to not. It's a tradition. It's passed down in this town almost. It's sort of inherited. I think, especially for young people, the avenues to play music are immense. If you choose to not take those avenues, it's almost a very deliberate choice not to. There are a lot of communities here that are all about all-ages music venues. My weekend night as a twelve-year-old was going out to see local music. Obviously that is incredibly inspiring, and it never stops.
Do you think there was a particular moment or person where it just clicked for you, where you were like yeah this is what I want to do?
I think it was through a series of fortunate events that have led to the position to really go all the way on it. A lot of it had to do with community support. I think that once you get that blessing from whatever community you're a part of, it's easy to make that decision. I've been really humbled by the last couple of months by just seeing how the music's been received and the support of fellow band members, and I think that's what made it really real for me; recognizing how much friction there can also be. It can be work and it can be something that you get better at. I think one of the greatest dynamics of our practices is that we definitely do not coddle each other. I think we can sometimes push each other in a way that can be really hurtful, but in a really healthy way too. We hold each other accountable for a lot. We all know we can do that much more as individuals. We all trust each other well enough that if one of us is missing the mark, that person feels accountable and should feel accountable for their mistake. And also know that they're forgiven. It's a weird mix. No hard feelings… but we all know that you fucked up. That was inspiring. I come from a theater background and was an actor for a couple of years. That's a very critical environment in a really healthy way you know, it wouldn't exist without criticism. I think that's something that some bands don't focus on, and don't embrace, and don't cherish: the criticism. They just kind of show up, play their tunes, and rock out super loud and super hard. Really it should be about the individuals and focusing on one person at a time to make sure everyone's with the herd. Working in that environment is probably the most inspiring for me.
That's a really interesting perspective. So when you guys are practicing and going through these songs, making the album… I'm sure that criticism is something you guys really held with high regard.
Yeah, it was a monstrous process. It was a two year process basically. It's actually around the 2-year anniversary of the beginning of the process of this new LP.
Thank you, you'll get your gift in the mail! I recorded it all with Kalin, our pianist and when we were three days from saying it was done, Owen, our lead guitarist came in and said "this isn't done yet. Here are the twenty ways we can make this better." From that point, it took another 6 months. We scrapped a lot of material and a lot of parts. We re-recorded a lot of stuff and just used better equipment. The whole process went from December 2014 to July 2016. There was never a dull moment too.
There was always something that was in the works too. I was living out of Walla Walla, Washington, and was communicating with them from far away and I'd come back and record some sessions. I'd be on the phone with them a lot. They'd send me mixes and we'd send each other notes. It was an album built on criticism that I thought was really beautiful because there was no decision that wasn't questioned. I heard a story about Gene Wilder and about how when he was writing Young Frankenstein with Mel Brooks that he would be writing all day and Mel Brooks would come over for dinner every night and would sit down and look at Gene Wilder's writing and would say, "Hey this is crazy. Are you sure you want this in here? This is really ballsy." Gene Wilder was like, "Absolutely. This is the key to the whole movie." Apparently he would get red in the face and got all serious. Mel Brooks said, "Okay, I just wanted to make sure you cared. Now it's definitely in the movie." If you don't give someone an opportunity to stand up for their work then you don't know that they really care or like their decision. I think that I'm making it out to sound like we're yelling at each other all the time, but we're really just having conversations about it all, and really deliberately making choices every time we sit down.
Your lyrics are really candid and seem to be in the moment of what you're feeling. What is your writing process like?
So what I normally do, I write all of the lyrics by myself. That's what happens most of the time. For some of the lyrics on the album, we would record something and have a vocal melody. We kind of wrote and recorded at the same time when we were doing the demo process. I would tell them to record a part and I'd come back in 15 minutes with some lyrics if I felt like it was the time. So that's one half of my writing and the other half is the painstaking, meticulous moving around of words and commas. More recently when I write a song, I'll sit down and write 20 verses and scrap 15 of them. I prefer my lyrics to be an invitation, opposed to a proclamation. When writing, my favorite lyrics are all from people who wrote something that was to be interpreted, but not in a way where people had to figure them out. They were writing so that people could develop a relationship with those words on their own. That's how I've developed relationships with all of my favorite musicians; it was by having my own time with their lyrics. I'd like to think of it as an act of generosity. I like to string together a lot of things that I don't understand yet and sort of let them have their own life in a song. It's very rare that people are given an opportunity with language that they have permission to do something with it.
Yeah, I agree. No one likes to listen to a song and feel like they're being fed something. Do you have a particular lyricist that is one of your favorites or has inspired you to write the way you do?
Yeah, it's a little scary because you're afraid to admit your formula, but I love the the lyrics of Jeff Tweedy quite a bit. Jeff Tweedy, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Elvis Costello. In particular, I feel that Joni Mitchell has some of the best lyrics and poetry out there. Patti Smith also. I think that these are people who really saw their songs and their lyrics as literature as well. You can sit down and read a Joni Mitchell song and have the same experience with it, it's just that she also knows how to communicate that through song. Do you have a favorite lyricist?
Hm. I really like satirical lyrics at the moment, so probably Father John Misty.
You know, I worked in the shoe store that he worked at. We never worked there at the same time, but I saw him on the street the other day, while in the care with my friend, and was in a heckling mood. I felt really bad about it as I drove away, but I rolled down the window and yelled, "Hey, when you comin' back to the Woolly Mammoth?" He looked back. He looked confused, but he also has an interminable sense of cool, so he seemed alright with it.
Up until about a year ago, I didn't even really know that he was in the Fleet Foxes.
Oh yeah. That's the real deal right there. I actually just listened to their second album Helplessness Blues the other day and it's just a masterpiece. Robin Pecknold's music used to really inspire my songwriting and I learned very quickly it's just something I love to listen to and not something I want to try and write. It takes a really particular person to write that type of music.
So what do you want your listeners to take away from your album?
It might sound dumb, but I think that my favorite thing that could happen is that someone else would come up to me and tell me something completely different from what I meant. I think that would be the most exciting to me because then I would have succeeded in giving them an opportunity to develop a relationship with it. I'm at the point where I want to have an amicable divorce with this set of songs. I think that's where I'm at now. I want the songs to have their own life in other people's ears. If I had something to say to people, then I'd be doing what you're doing, I'd be a writer. I respect the hell out of people who can do that. I've never been able to be that direct about anything. I think that that's a talent for the few. Amadeus doesn't seem to be too instructive and I find that refreshing. It's just here's some more great stuff that you can figure out yourself, which I love.
Listen to Honcho Poncho's new album Late Night via their Bandcamp and stay updated about upcoming shows and releases on their Facebook.


This "partner song" for recorders is meant to reflect the relationship between two people, whether in love or just best friends. It could even be the relationship between parent and child. Part I is the more difficult part, while part II is only the notes GAB, with simple quarter/half rhythms. Part I plays the first time, part II the second time, and then the two join together for the final repeat. This purchase includes MP3 accompaniment track.

Last Retch – Sadism And Severed Heads
Band(s): Last Retch
Label(s): CDN Records
Following the bands' demo, simply named 'Demo', released last year, these Canadian Death Metallers return with their first full-length album that was brought to us by the long-running Canadian CDN Records label. With their demo these guys already showed being able to pull off a great slab of Death Metal that could be found in the middle of Old School Death Metal and a more modern approach of the genre.
It was that balancing act that struck me most, usually Death Metal bands are choosing sides, sounding either Old School or take a more modern take on the genre with a slight technical twist to it. Last Retch proved that they were able to combine both into a solid sounding chunk of heavy riffing. Okay, it ain't Nunslaughter or Possessed and neither is it Psycroptic of Archspire. But the riffs sound really thick and have a modern tuning, but they don't go into overly technical or slamming territories. The same can be said about the vocals, they are sounding pretty modern, in terms of deep guttural gurgles, but then again, they don't go all the way into Deathcore fashioned piggy squeals. The tempo is slow to mid-paced, with full emphasis on the grooving rhythms and song writing. It sounds a little like Cattle Decapitation that just woke up on a lazy Sunday morning: not nearly as technical or intricate, but even with sleepy eyes they clearly show that catchy, grooving riffs and great vocals are in their collective DNA and even works while still half asleep. I won't go as far as saying these guys are pulling off an original piece of Death Metal, because every individual element has been heard multiple times before, but it certainly sounds refreshing in todays Death Metal climate. And with a playing time of just over 27 minutes, Last Retch shows that it understands how attention span works, this picks up just right. Cool debut album.

UPDATED: TVC Summit underway in Somerset
on May 23 rd, 2012
By Tom Ballard, Director of Innovation and Entrepreneurial Initiatives, Pershing Yoakley & Associates, P.C.
The first day of the two-day Tennessee Valley Corridor Summit (TVC) ended Wednesday evening with an after dinner presentation by Anthony Cugini, Director of the National Energy technology Laboratory of the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE).
The Summit, which returned to Somerset, KY for the first time in about eight years, drew about 200 registrants, according to John Crisp of AkinsCrisp Public Strategies, the administrative arm of the TVC organization.
The first TVC Summit was held in 1995 under a tent in Oak Ridge.
Three members of the Corridor's Congressional delegation spoke Wednesday at the opening session of the latest iteration. They were Tennessee Congressmen John Duncan and Chuck Fleischmann and Kentucky Congressman Hal Rogers, the event's host. All spoke of the importance of the Summit's theme – America's energy security – and the importance of partnerships across the five-state TVC region.
Gerald Boyd, retired DOE Oak Ridge Manager, and John Horack, Vice President for Research at the University of Alabama Huntsville, kicked-off the Summit with an overview about the importance of federal funding to the region.
Boyd, who is now Vice President for S.M. Stoller Corporation, said that $60 billion in federal funding flows into the region each year and cited the importance of the Huntsville facilities (Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal), Tullahoma (Arnold Engineering Development Center) and Knoxville-Oak Ridge (DOE's facilities and the Tennessee Valley Authority{TVA}). Horack brought home the significance of the $60 billion when he said that it amounted to $2,000 per second "coming into the region."
Len Peters, Secretary of Kentucky's Energy and Environment Cabinet, delivered a keynote address ahead of an afternoon panel discussion about energy security. He struck a common theme that "we need to ensure that our energy portfolio is diverse." Peters, who is a former Director of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, talked about Kentucky's seven-point plan for energy security and cited several examples of initiatives in the Bluegrass state. They included work that Jerry Rickett and Kentucky Highlands Investment Corporation (KHIC) have been doing in near zero energy homes and a partnership involving the University of Louisville and University of Kentucky, Argonne National Laboratory and the Commonwealth focused on advanced battery technologies.
Following Peters' presentation, Tom Rogers of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) moderated a panel that included Peters, Anda Ray, TVA Senior Vice President; Rickett, KHIC's President; Jim Roberto, ORNL Associate Laboratory Director for S & T Partnerships; and Dan Schumacher, Director of the Science and Technology Office at Marshall.
Much of the panel discussion focused on what Roberto described as the "defining challenge of our times." The importance of partnerships and a diverse portfolio of energy options were themes that were repeated by all panelists. There was also a good deal of discussion about small modular reactors.
The Summit wraps-up at noon Thursday.

The Straight Dope Updated Edition
The Inside Story of Sport's Biggest Drug Scandal
by Chip Le Grand
Publisher: Melbourne University Publishing
Publication Date: May 02, 2016
The greatest drugs scandal in Australian sport goes well beyond who took what.
What happened at Essendon, what happened at Cronulla, is only part of the story. From the basement office of a suburban football club to the seedy corners of Peptide Alley to the polished corridors of Parliament House, The Straight Dope is an inside account of the politics, greed and personal feuds which fuelled an extraordinary saga. Clubs and coaches determined to win, a sports scientist who doesn't play by the rules, a generation of footballers injected with who knows what, sport administrators hell bent on control, an anti-doping authority out of its depth, an unpopular government that just wants it to end ... for three years until the final, crushing judgement handed down by an international tribunal, this was the biggest game in Australia.


Praana Residence is one of five villas (see also, four-bedroomed Kalya Residence and Purana Residence, and five-bedroomed Avasara Residence and Atulya Residence) forming the luxurious Panacea Retreat, in Bo Phut Hills. All five villas command spectacular views over Bo Phut, Big Buddha (Bang Rak) and Chaweng bays, as well as making the most of their stunning jungle and coconut grove surroundings. The views are equally as spectacular at night, when firework displays from beachfront hotels will often light up the sky. Encircled by natural vegetation, every villa guarantees total privacy, yet only 3km down the hill is lively Bo Phut Fisherman's Village where you'll find shops, ATMs and plenty of restaurants, ranging from Thai and Western, to Japanese, Spanish and Mexican. Do visit the walking street market here on a Friday evening – as well as great street food and cocktails, there are stands selling everything from clothing to handmade décor items, and plenty of live entertainment too. The market dies down by about 11pm, but if you want to keep on partying the bustling nightlife of Chaweng is only 7km away.

In this way we can represent complex algorithms or streams of data or communicating among individual parts within a big system like, by way of instance, at a facility intended for mass manufacturing. A graphic representation is frequently simpler to understand compared to a textual representation.
Blocks or program building blocks are modular constructions inside SysML (Systems Modeling Language) that represent statistical concepts and objects in the system. In the realm of software creation, as an instance, blocks describe data components and operators or control stream elements. A block in a block diagram describes many identifiable properties that, taken collectively, specify the cube in question. Blocks describe a system as a group of elements which play a specific role in a particular context.
Block diagrams give us a better understanding of a system's functions and help create interconnections inside. Block diagrams derive their title from the rectangular elements found within this type of diagram. They're utilised to describe software and hardware systems and to represent procedures. Block diagrams are clarified and defined according to their function and structure in addition to their relationship with different cubes.
Block diagrams describe various hierarchies and connections between different building blocks within a method. These components are represented as blocks. Dependent relationships among properties, their worth, their constellations and their behavior are described. Block diagrams are appropriate particularly well to providing simplified representations of practical procedures and of relationships between human building blocks in a method. The way in which components and parts of the cubes are integrated could be described in another kind of structure -- the inner block diagram.
Defining the structure of your own system is the very initial step in creating new applications. However, this structure has to be made available to those that are developing the program. The way in which teams continue to work on the results will determine whether the efforts put into the arrangement can bear fruit or not. The ideal thing to do is to use a tool that can be used by your entire staff and which provides everyone involved with analyses and deliberations in real time.
The structure and flows within system cubes are clarified with OMG SysML™ (Systems Modeling Language) in internal block diagrams. Internal block diagrams give us a very simple overview of how parts of blocks connect to each other and what kind of information, information, signs or material flow between elements, and in which management.
A block structure is an essential method used to develop and explain hardware or software programs as well as represent their workflows and procedures. Block diagrams are used in electronic equipment to signify their changing e.g. mechatronic systems at the trucking industry.

Welcome to R4B! My name is Karen, one of a growing number of women entering a new phase of life. A number years ago, I found myself single and living alone at age 55. Like most women, I realized how important women friends have always been to my well-being. Then it dawned on me: What women my age need is a way to come together for friendship and support in shared housing. My research uncovered very few housing/roommate-sharing services for women of the Baby Boom Generation. I saw a huge void to be filled. Many friends had already experienced success with online dating services and agreed that a roommate matching service for women over 50 was a great idea. That's how Roommates4Boomers was born.

Wapahani volleyball outlasts Wes-Del
GASTON –
The Wapahani volleyball team was in a somewhat difficult position Thursday.
It had just dropped the first set against Class A No. 2 Wes-Del in a road match on the Warriors' court. The Class 3A No. 4 Raiders were playing just their third match of the season, still working out the kinks of a lineup that features several new pieces.
Yet they were able to overcome those obstacles in a 16-25, 25-21, 25-22, 25-23 victory in a key Mid-Easterm Conference match.
"We just regrouped, I think that's the biggest thing," Wapahani coach Jared Richardson said. "We've had a couple slow starts, we've made a couple lineup changes. But I think just the girls pulled together, they knew what they were capable of. They trusted in each other. I think at the beginning of the season we had some trust issues. And I think tonight we worked them all out."
Part of Wapahani's (3-0, 3-0 Mid-Eastern Conference) new look includes an increased role for senior Addie Reynolds. She had a double-double on Thursday, coming up with 15 kills and 11 digs, while also posting seven aces.
The Raiders also got offense from freshman Skyler Van Note, who provided 12 kills. Hannah Smith had a team-leading 12 digs.
Wes-Del (3-1, 3-1 MEC) was guided by Alysa Sutton, who had a match-high 19 kills. Libero Chloe Kinsey provided 21 digs for the Warriors.
The Warriors took control in the middle of the first set en route to the largest set win of the match. The Raiders then used a run late in the second set to even the match. Wapahani then led for the vast majority of the third set to take a one-set advantage.
Wes-Del held a slim lead for much of the fourth set, threatening to force a fifth. But when Wapahani tied the set at 23, the Raiders were then able to log the last two points of the match and close out a tight victory.
"It does wonders," Richardson said of the win. "I think it always lets you know that there's still going to be pressure. There's also going to be bigger teams, when we have the county matchup, there's always a good chance we will see them again. But for conference, we knew that we needed it. It was a big first step for getting that conference title again this year."
Wes-Del coach Biff Wilson said his team's match against Wapahani is typically played later in the season, but was pushed up this year due to a facility conflict.
"Maybe in some seasons past, we just didn't have this kind of test in the third or fourth match of the season," Wilson said. "But I think it gives us a real good barometer of where we are. And I like where we are. And we're just going to continue to bring it together."

2020 was the year of connected social games

Driving Game Growth & Into the Metaverse
Register today to connect with the games industry, join private networking sessions, and hear the latest on driving game growth and the metaverse.
The pandemic happened to all of us. And while the early sentiment that we were all in this together fell apart in the United States due to the deeper diseases of individualism and capitalism, people still craved ways to connect with other humans. In the first weeks of the stay-at-home orders, these attempts to socialize took the form of "happy hour" Zoom calls. And they were awful. People need distractions and structure to mitigate the pressures of spending time together. You get that with TVs or games at the bar or with (I'm assuming) the racist jokes while golfing. And video games are the best way to re-create that experience online.
The reason we turned to video conferencing first, however, is that games can have a high barrier to entry. Zoom was appealing because you could simply send someone a link and they could join you from almost any computing device. You cannot send an invite for Destiny, Dota, and World of Warcraft to your grandpa and expect him to know what to do next.
This is where we saw the rise of connected social games like Among Us, Roblox, and Animal Crossing.
Among Us is the game people needed in 2020
While all of gaming saw gains across nearly ever metric in 2020, Among Us stands out as the key example of what people sought out of games this year.
Among Us works because it provides the exact right amount of structure that people want from a social setting. It's a game about working together to complete tasks while one or two people are secretly trying to sabotage your team. Like a jukebox at the bar or golfing, the activity is fuel to keep people interacting. Our interactions with the structure give us more to talk about with one another. And as a game, Among Us isn't much more than that. Its most important characteristic as a game is that, like golf or darts, it's still fun even if you're bad at it or if you've been drinking.
The success of Among Us is that it empowers people to connect in fun ways. This distinguishes the modern genre of "social games" from the Facebook and mobile apps that we used to give that designation. Those games were about leveraging your social bonds to unlock rewards in games. In Clash of Clans, you need to encourage everyone in your clan to keep coming back to ensure you remain competitive.
For those older games, the social hooks exist to benefit the developer by pressuring players to boost engagement. In Among Us, socialization is the reward.
Of course, all of this only works because Among Us is also easy to access. It's available on Steam and Switch for $5, but it's also free on mobile. So it's just a matter of convincing friends and family with smartphones to download an app. And even if they're on a phone playing for free, they can still join games with people on PC or Switch.
By removing the barriers and facilitating human interactions, Among Us is one of the games that defined 2020.
Roblox provided kids with a sense of ownership
Among Us seems like the most democratic form of the social game, and it's the one I am most likely to suggest when extended family try to get me on a holiday video call. But it's not the only game that reflected the trend toward social experiences in 2020.
Roblox is a free-to-play platform for user-generated games that has millions of young players, and its success is baked into its DNA. While many people of all ages turned to Among Us, Roblox was also winning over a lot of school-aged children. And it did so for many of the same reasons as Among Us.
But Roblox is a game about expression. The kids in its audience designed most of the hundreds of games that you can play through the Roblox platform. This turns it into something like a metaverse with its own trends, unspoken rules, and fashion. And more importantly, it's a metaverse that kids often understand much more deeply than their parents.
Children thrive on developing expertise in spaces that seem foreign to their caregivers. It gives kids the sense that they have a place in the world that they can own and control. Roblox takes that concept to an extreme.
Animal Crossing is an external social game
Animal Crossing is similar to Roblox. It provides an environment for self-expression but one that also has strict rules and restrictions. And while that can make the act of moving your house in the game feel like a time-consuming chore, it also encourages communication between players.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is not a great online multiplayer game. Nintendo is still bad at that. But what makes it a social game isn't about playing together. Animal Crossing thrives when players struggle against the game's systems and then takes those frustrations, stories, and desires to discuss them with other people playing Animal Crossing.
The socialization of Animal Crossing comes from asking friends if they have a certain recipe or piece of furniture. It's also about having an encounter with animal villager and relaying that story on social media to other fans.
Structure is crucial to providing the framework for humans to socialize, and Animal Crossing is nothing but rigid structures. We cannot help but want to compare and contrast our experiences with people also struggling to take control over these immovable systems.
The pandemic deprived us of so much, and through that these games found ways to fill the void.

Jen Psaki became a household name in 2021 when President Joe Biden chose her as the new White House Press Secretary. She quickly became the daily voice for the new president, holding her first press conference on January 20, the first day the Biden Administration was in office (via Vox.com).
It had been months since the White House had held a press conference, so doing so on Day 1 put Psaki's name on the map.
However, the press secretary is no stranger to the White House, presidential administrations, Washington for that matter. In fact, she was the White House Communications Director for President Barack Obama from 2015 until he left office in January 2017. She also served as a spokesperson for the State Department, according to her Georgetown University official bio. So how did Psaki get where she is today to make her a household name and does it make her a very wealthy woman?
Jen's journey to DC power player has been lucrative

Jen Psaki hails from Stamford, CT and is the daughter of a real estate developer and a psychotherapist. She earned her degree in sociology and English at the College of William and Mary, but the political bug quickly bit and Psaki began her time in politics working for an Iowa Senate candidate and an Iowa gubernatorial candidate. She later made it big as the Deputy Press Secretary on John Kerry's presidential campaign in 2004, according to Pop Culture.
Psaki became a seasoned press secretary also working for the Democratic National Campaign Committee but also ventured into the private sector when she became vice president and managing director of Global Strategies Group, a public relations company that assists campaigns, according to The Sun. After her time with the Obama administration ended, she also took a job as a contributor on CNN, adding to her net worth.
In fact, Psaki has already announced she will be moving on at some point in 2022 and that the Biden administration knew from the start. After all, she's been a very busy woman for a very long time and after a year as President Biden's press secretary, she plans to spend more time with her family, according to Business Insider.
Although her press secretary job only pays about $183,000, all the years of hard work have paid off for Psaki as her total net worth is estimated at about $2 million.

USTOA Members Report Growth in Bookings and Optimism for 2021
Confidence in booking for 2021 is growing.
Credit: 2020 WavebreakmediaMicro/stock.adobe.com
The United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA) released new findings from a late October survey of its Tour Operator Active Members regarding post-COVID-19 plans for recovery and resumption of business. The survey garnered an 88% response rate of USTOA Active Members, with 69% of respondents indicating they are "confident or highly confident that guest bookings will increase in 2021."
Two-thirds (63%) of tour operator members reported an increase in new bookings over the last 60 days, while 29% reported that bookings remained the same. When asked about bookings growth in an August survey, only 38% had seen an increase in bookings for the two months prior.
For 2021, 33% of members indicated new bookings for the first quarter of the year, 69% have new bookings for the second quarter, 92% for the third quarter and 79% for the fourth quarter. A quarter (21%) reported bookings for the fourth quarter of 2020, and 60% reported 2022 bookings.
Passenger confidence in booking for 2021 appears to be on the rise, especially for the second half of the year, prompting optimism among USTOA members for resuming operations. According to the survey, nine out of 10 members are optimistic or cautiously optimistic about their company's outlook for the resumption of business in 2021. Two-thirds of members plan to resume operations alongside COVID-19, even with lower passenger numbers or lower margins.
- When asked about feedback from customers who traveled with new wellness protocols in place, 33% of members said that all customers reported that the new protocols did not hinder their experience, while 29% said that only a small number of customers felt that the protocols hindered their experience.
- The survey named customer confidence as the biggest challenge to operating in 2021, followed by border closing and confusion across countries/states, and uncertainty of a COVID-19 vaccine.
- When asked about travel advisors, 88% of responding members said they plan to utilize advisors to generate sales in 2021, and 72% expect business booked by advisors to increase or remain the same in 2021.
- Nearly two-thirds (65%) of current Active Member traveler bookings were reported as international destinations, and 35% as North America bookings (U.S., Canada and Mexico).
- Based on new reservations only, the top three international destinations being booked include Italy; Ireland; and Germany, Greece and the U.K. (tied for third). Alaska, Arizona and California tied as the top domestic destinations for new bookings.

Ziraat was inaugurated in 1926 by Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan, who taught in the United States and Europe in the early 1920's. It uses the symbols and dynamic processes of agriculture as ways of describing the inner life, and as ways of finding a bridge between the spiritual and material worlds.
Let the heavens be reflected on the Earth, Lord, that the Earth may turn into Heaven.


The apartment is situated 7 steps up from the ground floor and is serviced by a doorman, and consists of a spacious entrance which is 5 steps up from the apartment front door, a living room/dining room (round table for 4/6 persons, 2 sofas and writing desk). The bedroom, with twin beds that may be converted to a double, is warm and charming; there is a fully equipped modern eat-in kitchen (table for 4) and a large bathroom (with tub and hand shower).
Both the bedroom and the living room have a small windows with full views of the river Arno and Uffizi Gallery (among other things). The light natural wood ceilings have been carefully restored, as have the floors which are beige tiles similar to travertine stone. The furnishings are a mixture of modern and antique. The entrance is all decorated with frescos showing spring climbing plants twisting on bamboos. All over flowers prints and soft coloured fabrics. The apartment is supplied with linen, central-heating, air conditioning, dish washer, washing machine, satellite TV, hair dryer and telephone (& high speed internet).


The cover of this book gives some excellent clues as to what's inside.
Take a careful look at the sketched characters, even the cat. They look you right in the eye, unencumbered by whatever judgment you may have of them. The overall design is spare, elegant and whimsical, exactly mirroring the writing inside. And in my mental lexicon, the overall feel is of another era, one in which a dry martini with an olive is as common as bottled water now.
I saw this book as a film with Patricia Clarkson as the narcissistic mother, Frances, who didn't care a wit (no pun intended) about her son Malcolm as he was growing up, but trapped him in an infantile cocoon, one in which he could not escape. My mind's eye cast author Patrick DeWitt as a perfect Malcolm— dependent, morally confused, but also splendidly insightful and funny. If I met these two in person, I would probably steer clear, but on the page they tickle my absurd bone and made me laugh many times.
DeWitt is best known for a western, The Sisters Brothers, which is about to be released as a film. Whatever made him think that he could write about the Upper East Side and concoct a plot in which a pampered woman hates her magnificently wealthy husband, and just leaves him after he has died of a heart attack so she could go out skiing? For the next few years money is no object for her and her aesthete of a son. They spend it. Alcohol is no problem. They just drink it—continually. They live a life of unabashed leisure, and it's infectious. I've never felt so relaxed while reading a book.
But all good things must come to an end and they do, hence the title French Exit. Yes, that's the plot… And it works!
It's a tough thing to be able to combine farce with philosophy, but DeWitt does it. I'm thinking that he might win the Scotiabank Giller Prize. It certainly wouldn't be the politically correct choice but it might be the aesthetic one.
The movie Sisters Brothers opens here November 27!


c3 sicilian - grrr!!! Anybody got any good lines for black against c3 for white in the sicilian? I keep playing people who stop me playing the najdorf by going 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.c3. I've got a book with the line 1.e4 c5 2.c3 d5!? but obviously this doesn't work if white plays the knight to f3 first. I get the feeling white is aiming for a transposition into a line of the Lopez that is bad for black. Any help please???
There are.... .....numerous playable continuations for Black (as you can see for yourself if you browse the Gameknot database). The most effective is probably the obvious 3...Nf6, taking care to avoid the trap 4...Nxe4??? after 4.Be2.
You can't expect always to be allowed to play the Najdorf --- you have to be able to play whatever is thrown at you. In this case, you have little to worry about, as 3.c3 is a weak move.
What makes 3.c3 a weak move?
if my opponent makes that move.
1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. c3 Nf6 4. Bd3 is also a playable continuation, I think it was Bent Larsen who described that move as tricky. The pillage of white's light squared Bishop f1-d3-c2 might look weird, but to find a defutation while playing is a different story.
In this specfic position (i.e. after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.c3) maybe one could play 3...Bg4.
The way I see it that has to be fairly annoying for white.
As black... ...a good response to 2)Nf3 would be....2)..., e6 3)d4, cxd4 4)Nxd4, a6. This is the sicilian kan variation. I would suggest looking it up on the internet or in a book, because there are a few of variations to this play.
jeffreydot: Well, but I guess he does prefer his Najdorf. Also 3.c3 is also feasible against 2...e6. Another thought I've had: Is the wing gambit 3.b4 better after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 or 2...d6?
3. c3 3. c3 has been used quite often by at least 2 world champions (Smyslov and Spassky) so it can't be all that bad. I think the main point is to avoid the vast block of theoretical knowledge that the top players need to be able to effectively counter the more usual Sicilian lines (including the Najdorf). I use it myself as I am not confident in the more regular systems.
lines gentleman please. It's all very nice saying how much you like to play certain lines, but I was hoping for a more definite continuation than Nf6. Obviously the difference between this line and the open sicilian lines is that white has a much more powerful centre. Is there any way to hit back at that centre effectively (eg Bg4, e5)? GM Bent Larsen once said that he thought 3.d4 was a positional blunder because it gave up one of the centre pawns. Maybe he's right and 3.c3 is a better line. Anybody got a decent plan which doesn't transpose into a Lopez line?
Without e5 by Black, the game could have no resemblance to a Ruy Lopez.


vga=normal under append= list and then in the terminal run lilo, and then reboot. Might work, let's see! Cross your fingers you!
Just change that to 16 if you're needing 16 bit.
Or just tell me to jump in a lake if I've misunderstood.
Which lilo file are you talking about? /etc/lilo.conf?
if so, under which 'append =' should I add that line?
Yes that lilo file, but for me it didn't help. If you want to try, don't add it to append, just make a new line and type vga=normal. The newest version of lilo wont let you add that to append = "blahblahblah"
did you run "lilo -v" as root after modify your lilo.conf?
I failed to mention in the post above - I have 3 'append=' in my /etc/lilo.conf. under which should I add it?
and also a question: what this line do?
Try changing Driver "i810" to Driver "vesa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see what happens.
I did a bit of googling and it seems like nobody with my good old Neomagic MagicGraph 256AV [NM2200] have DRI.
I saw a littlebit about recompiling kernel. Seems like that's pretty hard and time consuming.
Could it be managed by semy-noob like me?
And if so, will the result worth it?
I'll try what you guys suggested, I hope vesa works!
Compiling isn't too hard as long as you have a good speedy computer, and have all the requirements to compile. And know what parameters to pass.
16 bit vesa didn't work either, what was displayed was something like when you're watching tv, but the signal isn't strong enough so its just a scrambled mess flying around.
24 bit vesa is just a black screen.
According to http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting , there's a chance my card isn't getting 'probed', whatever that means, I'll have to see how to fix this.
I'll download the latest DRM CVS sources, and go from there.


Our customers rate us tops for auto body service and customer service.
What a wonderful service Lamon provided! Recently you (quickly) repaired our 2006 Impala and it looks like new again. The color match is perfect and everyone we dealt with was so helpful. Kudos to Stuart Flaxman (GEICO) and Andrew Maisch - Good Work! Bernie & Maureen C.
Thank you for the outstanding auto body repair you did on my car. You have 100% customer satisfaction from me. Your scheduling, timely repair, attention to details, and outstanding workmanship is unmatched. Your prices are more than reasonable. Your customer service from the administrative person thru the entire process of repair is outstanding and the best I have had the pleasure of enjoying in South Jersey. You will get many referrals from me; you can be sure of that! Again, thank you. Thomas S.
I brought my Honda Civic in for a minor bumper adjustment and Andy took a look at it. He was very courteous & efficient. When I picked the car up I was very pleased. Terry S.
I am writing to thank you for not only your kind assistance during the process of getting my car repaired, but for the EXTREMLY HIGH QUALITY of work. When my car was first hit, I gave up hope that my car (BMW) would ever run well again, and just hoped for a year or two before I'd have to get rid of it. I am generally pretty picky about who works on my car, but the GEICO representative assured me that I'd be happy with Lamon. I had no idea that you would work hand and hand with GEICO to get my car absolutely right. I'm writing this to let you know that my car runs every bit as well as it did before it was hit. The paint was blended perfectly, to the point that no one, including the BMW dealer could even tell. Even after the car was delivered back to me, the few small reworks needed were done quickly and correctly. I now have no intentions of trading my car, as it's as good as it was the day I bought it. Please thank everyone there that was involved in making my car "right" again. Rest assured that I could not recommend anyone else for body work but Lamon. Howard G.
I have had the pleasure of dealing with you and your company on now two separate occasions and have gone from merely a customer to an advocate. Being involved in an auto accident is an anxious time with many uncertainties. My first call to Jack early on Saturday morning gave me assurance that I was in good hands. My accident was head-on with a DUI driver that was traveling on the wrong side of the highway, in the wrong direction. Thankfully, no one was injured. Having just had my BMW repaired by Lamon, I was comforted to return for what appeared to be a major repair. When my car was returned, I found that the workmanship of your team was truly exemplary. Melissa, Brian, Jack and all of those on your team have made my experience with Lamon a great one. You set the bar high for your business and it shows throughout your organization. Thank you, for working with me to become a very loyal customer. Thomas B. Jr.
Thank you so much for all of your efforts in repairing our car. I know it wasn't the easiest thing - but we also noticed the extra work you put into the right front wheel well where the edge was scuffed. It is apparent you do care about your clients. Elizabeth J.
I am writing this letter on behalf of your staff at Lamon Auto Body. Over two months ago, our family was involved in a serious car accident in which our van incurred quite a bit of damage, which was repaired by your company. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience at Lamon. Melissa kept us informed of the entire process and assisted us in dealing with the insurance companies. Each time we spoke with her, she was helpful, pleasant, courteous and always professional. It's unfortunate that more employees and more organizations do not treat their customers in such manner. Brian took the time to explain what needed to be done to our vehicle as well as the process in which it would be fixed. He continually reassured us that the van would be safe for our children, which was our primary concern and fear after such an accident. We thank all of your staff and request that you make special recognition to those who assisted us, especially Melissa. In addition, we would be more than happy to serve as a reference to your company.	John & Cindy P.

Манучехр I (Менучихр) — царь Персиды в первой половине II века.

Манучехр I был  — вассальным властителем в Парфянской державе. По мнению авторов Ираники, предшественником правившего в первой половине II века Манучехра I был Автофрадат IV. Преемником Манучехра I был Артаксеркс III.

Для нумизматического материала Манучехра I, как и для нескольких других царей Персиды из «семейства Манучехра», характерно наличие изображения лица правителя на только на аверсе, но и на реверсе монет. По замечанию иранского исследователя , бюст царя окружён ореолом солнечных лучей — знаком Митры, что может свидетельствовать об особом интересе к этому богу.

Software vendors are pushing Internet technology over groupware, but companies aren't quite ready to abandon Lotus Notes.
The new breed of software vendors are pushing Internet technology hard as a low-cost alternative to groupware for helping groups of people communicate and collaborate, but U.S. companies remain divided over whether to abandon Lotus Notes in favor of Web browsers, according to a report from research firm International Data Corporation.
IDC's 1996 Global IT Survey research found that 40 percent of U.S. businesses intend to use the Web in 1996. But while 36 percent of U.S. businesses view Web software as an alternative to groupware such as Notes, just as many--37 percent--don't think Web browsers and servers are ready for prime time. Twenty-seven percent are still undecided on which technology direction is best, according to the survey.
The results were based on 12,000 interviews with small-, medium-, and large-sized businesses.


Well, I did said I could not imagine a year without the Little House books. And so it is that Paula @ The Vince Review is hosting a year-long read-athon of the Little House series and a few other books to equal one book a month in 2018. I need not an excuse to read these books, but I like to pretend that I have a reason.
Last year, after I completed eight of the series books, I told myself that next time I read them, I want to focus on the proverbs, or words of wisdom, that Ma and Pa and Laura shared about life and human nature. This time I will see how many I notice and write them down.
If you are interested, there is no sign up, but you can follow at Paula's blog.
Hooray, let's bring it on. I have Little House in the Big Woods all ready to go. I be interested to see what you think of 'Caroline: Little House Revisited' as Ma's childhood would be very interesting. I also own several of the novels about Rose's childhood by Roger Lea MacBride, which I loved at the time 💕 Very hard to get enough of such an interesting family, through all generations.
Hi, Paula, sorry! I was meaning to get to your message here. I've never read any of those other books about Rose or of any of stories about Caroline. Maybe one day I will. But I do look forward to reading this new release, Caroline.
This read-along is so tempting but I have to limit myself this year. Perhaps I can manage one or two though. Have fun! I know that you love these books!
If you can only read one or two, you should try The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie, and/or These Happy Golden Years. (In that order, if you read more than one.) Laura is older and coming of age. It's just more involved than her younger years. Anyway, I know what you mean about limiting yourself.
