Vinegar Syndrome - New Genre Label
Discussion in 'General' started by MorallySound, Sep 12, 2012.

As some of you may know there was a Kickstarter project from earlier this year for the restoration of three lost Herschell Gordon Lewis films (Linda and Abilene, Ecstasies of Women, Black Love) from restoration specialists Process Blue and a few independent parties and having personally contributed to that project I am excited that it's getting nearer to the release of those films.
Anyway, because of the overwhelming success and the fact that they want to release more genre films lovingly restored in high definition with complete creative control they've now formed their own label, Vinegar Syndrome. Side note: I love the name, it's the process of 35mm prints deteriorating giving them that distinct vinegar smell knowing that a print is on it's last legs.
Obviously they don't have a list of future releases quite yet, but I do know that we can expect some great and lost genre films surfacing as I know a few parties involved in the hunt. Anyway, I'm excited and so should you! Here's the info for Vinegar Syndrome's first release, The Lost Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis, slated for December 11th, 2012:

I contributed to their Kickstarter campaign and am pretty excited to see these long-lost flicks, especially in HD. Can't wait to see what's next. (I know about a few titles being worked on already and think exploitation fans will really be happy with this label!)

A little info on how Vinegar Syndrome releases will operate via their Facebook:
Vinegar Syndrome said:
Just to give everyone a bit of an inside scoop as to how VS will work, we're planning on creating two separate lines of releases. The first will be DVD/Blu combo packs, such as the upcoming H.G.L. collection. These releases will feature fully restored films in single, double or triple features, as well as extras (in some cases extras will be bonus related feature films sourced from sub-par elements). Titles receiving full DVD/Blu releases will be sourced almost exclusively from negatives and mint answer prints. The emphasis with these releases is to offer the highest quality restorations we can using the best available film materials.
We will also be introducing a DRIVE-IN line, which will consist entirely of themed double and triple features sourced primarily from theatrical release prints. These releases will be priced considerably lower than than the 'official' DVD/Blu combo packs and will be available on DVD. We will also be offering digital downloads of all DRIVE-IN titles via our website in 720p.
The reason for the two separate lines is simple: we have 35mm film elements for dozens and dozens of really cool and rare movies, but many are simply not up to what we feel are proper condition for a restored Blu-Ray release, so rather than not releasing them at all, we've decided that it's far more sensible to transfer them in 2K, perform some basic restoration work, and offer them as DVD double or triple features so that they're at least out there for people to see.
Attached to this update is a still from DRIVE-IN #1 release: Ken Friedman's DEATH BY INVITATION (1971) + Paul Kener's SAVAGE WATER (1979). Additional stills coming shortly in an 'album' post.
And their second Blu-ray/DVD combo looks like it will be Massage Parlor Murders (1972).
For those who missed their fundraiser campaign, start-up label Vinegar Syndrome's first release, THE LOST FILMS OF HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS (due 1/8), is now available for mass-market ordering. Compiling three never-on-home-video sexploitation titles from the splatter pioneer, this set represents a major archival achievement in the world of exploitation filmmaking. LINDA & ABILENE (1969) is his legendary lesbian western, shot on a pre-Manson Spahn Ranch. THE ECSTASIES OF WOMEN (1969) is a swingin' '60s Los Angeles comedy/drama. BLACK LOVE (1971) is the director's notorious blaxploitation porno, reportedly filmed for a Chicago Baskin Robbins owner! All restored in high definition from the original camera negatives, the set also features the original trailers and liner notes. It's great to see a new label worth keeping an eye on!

Instant purchase for me. Originally these guys were talking BD-R and then no HD at all so I was thinking about passing on these but now they're doing factory pressed Blu-ray's so I have to have it. Just have to have it.

From Facebook:
Not the big title reveal we'e probably going to be making later this week, but would there be interest in a nice, 35mm film sourced, authorized release of NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR?
For all you guys that bitch about not enough new obscure horror getting released, you're not paying Vinegar Syndrome much attention.

I love Vinegar Syndrome. I contributed to their Kickstarter campaign, am VERY happy with their "Lost Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis" release, will be picking up DEATH BY INVITATION very shortly, and MASSAGE PARLOR MURDERS is one of my most-anticipated releases of 2013. Keep 'em coming!
Marshall Crist, Jan 27, 2013
April 9th releases:
VS-004: Massage Parlor Murders (1974) (Blu-ray/DVD combo)
VS-005: Anatomy of a Pyscho (1960) / The Lonely Sex (1959)
VS-006: The Suckers (1972) / The Love Garden (1971)
May 7th releases:
VS-008: The Dungeon of Harrow (1962) / Death by Invitation (1971)
Not sure what VS-007 is yet (possibly the Savage Water re-issue), but here's a tentative VS June release:
You can check out a brief promo trailer for it over on their Facebook page.

So far, all of Vinegar Syndrome's releases have been way too off-the-beaten-path for me. Just not of interest to me.
But I am 100% on board for Punk Vacation! I wonder if other Rae Don titles are in the works, like Dead Girls or Return Of The Family Man?
CPT HOOK, Mar 19, 2013
I imagine VS-007 will be their blu of THE TELEPHONE BOOK (1971), also coming May 7th.
In June they're doing a blu of GOOD LUCK, MISS WYCKOFF (aka THE SHAMING, 1979).
Never seen PUNK VACATION, but I'd buy it in a heartbeat. If they're doing any other Rae Don titles, I'd love Andy Milligan's THE WEIRDO.

Wow, I don't remember having ever seen PUNK VACATION before, but I'd definitely blind buy the sucker just to see!

VS just posted a photo on their Facebook page of the 35mm negative for Ted V. Mikels' DOLL SQUAD! So expect that in the future!
Extras for THE DOLL SQUAD will apparently include commentary, interviews, trailers and more. Should be a stacked disc.
Preorders now up for their May 7th releases:
Nelson Lyon's THE TELEPHONE BOOK (1971), an obscure comedy about an obscene phone caller featuring some of the Warhol Factory:
Blu / DVD Combo: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...eASIN=B00BYGTN5M&linkCode=as2&tag=cinema09-20
Promo trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lCU2fZYM6o
Pat Boyette's THE DUNGEON OF HARROW (1962) / Ken Friedman's DEATH BY INVITATION (1971), a reissue of INVITATION paired with a new remaster of HARROW, a good little exploiter notably difficult to see in nice condition prior:
DVD: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...eASIN=B00BYGTN7A&linkCode=as2&tag=cinema09-20
Promo trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsW_xZmZ0VQ
The Dungeon of Harrow is one I don't really care much for, so I'll stick with the Savage Water/Death by Invitation DVD.
It's good that they are reissuing Death by Invitation though...

Q: Basic questions about Java syntax I'm trying to understand the following valid Java code.  I have two questions, which are commented in the code.
class C {
  C x;  //1.) why is something like x = new C(); not required here?  Does this
        //mean x refers to this current class of C?
  int f;
  void run(boolean b, int x) {
    C y;
    y = new C();
    if (b) { this.bump(y,x); } //2.) Is "this" in this.bump necessary?  Likewise,
                               //this.bump(this.y,x) would be equivalent right?
    else { f = this.x.f + 1; }
  }
  void bump(C z, int j) {
    z.f=j;
  }
  }

Thanks, sorry for such rudimentary questions

A: This one:
 C x;

declares a single field called x within class C of type C. The statement doesn't set any initial value of the field x. And it's basically the same as C x = null;
That one:
 this.bump(y,x);

this is excessive here. You would get the same with just bump(y,x);
this.y wouldn't compile in this case, because y is a local variable (within the method), not a field.

A: 1.) why is something like x = new C(); not required here?
x is only an uninitialized reference. If you want to use it, you indeed need to assign something to it.
2.) Is "this" in this.bump necessary?
No. this refers to the current object, and since x is a member of the current object you do not need it in this case.
2a) Likewise, this.bump(this.y,x) would be equivalent right?
No. y is a local variable, you can not access it with this.y.

A: C x; means that you've declared a variable of type C called x. You did NOT create an instance yet which you do by calling x = new C();
Using the this keyword isn't necessary when calling a member method from within the same class.
this.bump(this.y,x) is NOT what you think it is, since y is a local variable (local to the run method) and not a class member so you'd actually get a compilation error.

A: 1.)
C x doesn't reference anything here. But if you assign it, it will reference to some class of type C. This might be the current class, but there could also be another one referenced.
For example if C is a class Person, x could reference this persons mum, dad, friend, etc...
2.)
No, it's not needed there since theres no local variable named the same way. Its equivalent.

A: 1) new allocates memory on the heap instead of the stack
2) this in this.bump is not necessary. this.bump(this.y,x) would not be equivalent because class C does not have a member variable called y

A:
1.) why is something like x = new C(); not required here?

By default, the reference is null. It's up to the programmer to decide whether the reference needs to be initialized to point to some object.

Does this  mean x refers to this current class of C?

Here, x is a reference to some instance of class C. The reference can be (and is) null.

2.) Is this in this.bump necessary?

No.

Likewise, this.bump(this.y,x) would be equivalent right?

Yes.

Few things put you in the mood for traveling more than researching your next destination. So, are you ready to learn a thing or two about Anaheim?
This city is around 380 miles southeast of California's capital, Sacramento. Anaheim is also 4 miles south of Fullerton.
It shouldn't be hard to make some new friends in this part of Orange County. It has a population of around 340,000 locals.
Knott's Berry Farm and Disney California Adventure® Park deserve to be high on your sightseeing itinerary. You'd be crazy not to visit these extraordinary attractions!
Anaheim features a number of terrific places to visit, such as the Medieval Times and the Discovery Science Center. Prefer something else? Well don't worry — you're flush with choice here. Some more options include Crystal Cathedral and the Bowers Museum.
Prepare yourself for an action-packed day out at Disneyland®. Get your heart racing on one of the hair-raising rides and treat your taste buds to some delicious treats. Want to keep the good times rolling? Spend a few hours or more shopping at Downtown Disney® District where you'll be able to find the perfect gifts to take back home. But wait, that's not all there is! Even though this institution is renowned for its name as a prestigious center for scholarly pursuits, Fullerton College also possesses some significant design features.
Hi there, globetrotter. We know you're eager to get the most out of your vacation, so why not take a look at car rentals in Anaheim? Book through Orbitz and get your unforgettable adventure on the road today!
Make a beeline out of John Wayne Airport as soon as you arrive by picking up a car from a nearby vendor. Some of the best outlets to book with are National Car Rental and Enterprise. They're close to the terminal, so you won't miss them.
Arriving in the city? Alamo Rent A Car is situated just 2 miles from the heart of town at 1565 S Disneyland Dr, Ste 105. Another convenient outlet sitting just 2 miles from the center of the city is Enterprise at 231 W Katella Ave.

If something a bit extravagant is what you're after, slip between the silky sheets at the Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa (1600 S Disneyland Dr) or the Disneyland Hotel - On Disneyland Resort Property (1150 W Magic Way). Otherwise, securing a room at an economical hotel such as the Del Sol Inn - Anaheim Resort (1604 S Harbor Blvd) and the Castle Inn and Suites (1734 S Harbor Blvd) will allow you to save your cash for wonderful Anaheim experiences.
You'll be pleased to know that there are a couple of hotels within strolling distance of Disney California Adventure® Park if you're eager to stay nearby. The Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel-On Disneyland® Resort Property is just 0.3 miles away. If you'd prefer something else, check yourself into the Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Theme Park Entrance, which is 0.3 miles away.
After sitting down in a cramped seat for hours, you'll be relieved to hop off the plane and stretch out at John Wayne Airport (SNA). Situated 11 miles south of the downtown area, this is the main point of arrival for those traveling via air.
Anaheim has plenty of things to keep you busy, but if you want to branch outwards, you're in luck! You've got globally celebrated attractions just a stone's throw from here! Huntington State Beach draws travelers from all nations. Newport Beach, only 16 miles from Anaheim, is a handy base when stopping by this unforgettable attraction.
Feeling a bit forlorn because you need to cancel your journey? Well, don't worry — we're certainly not going to make matters worse by making you pay a fee.^ If you act quickly, your hotel and airline might not either.


Boil pasta and cook according to directions. Brown ground beef in skillet, breaking it up into small pieces. Drain fat, and set aside.
Stir together pasta, ground beef, frozen corn, cheese mix packets, and a small amount of milk over low heat until everything is warmed through.


The environmental, financial and personal benefits of upcycling cannot be underestimated. The planet is becoming polluted by the amount of rubbish the human population produces and reducing this means that less raw materials are needed, greenhouse gas emissions become lower and more natural resources will be preserved.
It is becoming fashionable to make cool new stuff from old items rather than dumping them in the bin. There are even brands and designers who specialize in this and they are producing goods that have become very popular. The trend seemed to start some years ago when upcycled paper hit the market, but now there are not many things you cannot buy that will have been manufactured from upcycled materials by someone.
This means the amount of rubbish that is being sent to landfill is reducing, which is a good thing in itself. As things rot at these sites, they start to produce gases that are not good for the environment.
The problem is that consumers have become used to things being mass-produced and being there on demand. Things get thrown away as easily as they are bought, but peoples mindset on this are changing. The more items you can upcycle, the more you will help to reduce the amount that goes to landfill.
However, one of the biggest environmental advantages to upcycling is the reduction in the amount of the earth's natural resources that are needed. The lower this becomes the more the planet can start to heal and that is vitally important for future generations.
Next time you are about to throw clothes you have not worn for a long while, stop and take a good look at them. If you are handy with a needle and thread you could alter them to change their appearance and save money on your wardrobe. Alternatively, find a seamstress or tailor to help you and this will cost a lot less than replacing them.
The same applies to furniture, especially things made of wood. Tables, chairs bookcases and anything else can be given a new lease of life with sanding and a new coating of paint, varnish or oil. You can learn the simplest way to do this with a video online, many of which will tell you all the tricks of the trade. Just think how expensive a new table can be and you will soon realize the financial benefits of upcycling the one you already have.
The financial advantages of upcycling have far more reaching effects than in the home. Manufacturers can also benefit from the lower cost of upcycled materials, and with the large amount they sometimes use, it results in less natural resources being taken from the planet.
Upcycling also encourages rural and local businesses who are often the first to take advantage of its benefits. This is particularly the case in countries such as India, Vietnam, and Mexico where whole communities have been build on making goods from upcycled materials. The quality of their workmanship is so good that often unless the label told you so, you would not realize they had been made in this way.

Why Congress should look at Twitter and Facebookon July 27, 2020 at 10:00 am
July 27, 2020 - by - Leave a Comment
Removing large-scale networks of accounts has a different, but no less significant, effect. Changes to the information ecosystem reduce the amplification power of these groups; removing the networked faction of QAnon accounts ahead of the election is notable because they are a significant node in the new MAGA coalition. Without this network of superspreaders on Twitter, it will be more difficult to coordinate the manipulation of search engines and trending algorithms.
But even if they succeed in reducing the spread of conspiracy theories, these actions reveal the twin problems facing online platforms: some speech is damaging to society, and the design of social-media systems can compound the harms.
Speech monopolies
All these interventions come as Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook have been asked to testify in front of the House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee. The hearing–now delayed until Wednesday–is part of a series exploring "Online Platforms and Market Power" and will call Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Tim Cook of Apple, Sundar Pichai of Google, and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook.
Republicans have sought to invite others, including Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey–but also an outlier, John Matze, the founder of the right-wing app Parler. Parler has built its brand on the back of claims that Twitter censors conservatives, and it recently went on a sprint to recruit Republican politicians. In July, Matze was a guest on a podcast that routinely features white nationalist and misogynist content and had been banned from YouTube in 2018 for hate speech. During the interview, Matze expressed pride that he provides a platform for those who have been removed from other platforms, such as Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Jacob Wohl. On Parler, these figures have their content served alongside contributions from Republican figures the likes of Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Matt Gaetz, among others.
Minor apps provide alternative infrastructure for communities trafficking in hate speech.
Research by me and my colleagues on the development of another app, Gab, which gained limited popularity by promoting itself as a safe haven for "free speech" following the white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, illustrates the serious limitations of minor apps that provide alternative infrastructure for communities trafficking in hate speech.

Q: Python stock dataframe get price from row Im relatively new to python so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but i currently have a dataframe that looks like this:
                close
date
2020-07-24  69.400002
2020-07-23  59.570000
2020-07-22  61.790000

this was pulled using this code:
stockprices = requests.get(f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/historical-price-full/{stock}?serietype=line&apikey=992f4ace89c00105ff6c15b225372d70")
stockprices = stockprices.json()

stockprices = stockprices['historical'][:60]

stockprices = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(stockprices)
stockprices = stockprices.set_index('date')

My question is how can i get a specific price for a specific column, like for example "59.57" from date "2020-07-23"

A: For this, you can give in the stockprices.at[] property.
So for example, if you wanted to get the stock price on July 23rd, you could do the following:
stockprices.at['2020-07-23', 'close']

Similar to loc, in that both provide label-based lookups. Use at if you only need to get or set a single value in a DataFrame or Series.
Warning: Note that contrary to usual python slices, both the start and the stop are included.
If you want to get access a single value for a row/column pair by integer position, use the stockprices.iat[] property.

A: import pandas as pd
Dictionary = {"Date" : ["2020-07-22","2020-07-23","2020-07-24"],
"Close" : ["61.790000","59.570000","69.400002"],"Price" : ["22","23","24"]}
df = pd.DataFrame(Dictionary)
filter_val = df['Date'] == "2020-07-23"
df.where(filter_val)```

FAQ - How do I model tax exempt clients? (UK)
Is it possible to turn off the tax for a client who is a non-UK resident?
There is no mechanism for simply switching off taxation in the UK version of Voyant Adviser. It is setup with UK tax rules and not designed as a multi-jurisdictional tool. That said, if you were to enter investments as Type: Offshore Taxable (with the tax rate set to zero), and use Other Income (non-taxable), instead of Employment, to record your client's income, you could effectively eschew most UK taxes. The remaining tax consideration, which cannot be eschewed, is the end-of-life/end-of-plan IHT tax calculations. Those taxes however don't generally affect the calculation of the plan's cash flow over the life of the plan.

It is recommended to check the air pressure in the tires on a regular basis. This is because proper air pressure is important to the performance, handling, and life of the tires. This is especially important for the winter. Colder temperatures can cause the tires to lose one pound per square inch for every ten-degree decrease in temperature. When checking the air pressure, make sure to do so before you drive on the tires. This is because when the tires are driven on, they will warm up and expand. This can lead to a false reading when checking them, and it will seem like there is more air in the tires than there actually is.
One of the most neglected services for a vehicle is checking the air pressure. Checking the air pressure however, is one of the most important things you can do. Some people think that checking the pressure in the tires can be time consuming and a hassle. In all actuality, checking the air pressure is quick and easy. Checking the air pressure once a week can overall save on time and money in the long run. Having tires at the recommended pressure can also save on fuel efficiency. It can also help to save on the life of the tires themselves. The recommended air pressure can be found in the vehicle owner's manual. It can also be found on the side of the driver's door. If you are unsure of the correct amount of air pressure, bring the vehicle in and we can check it for you.
Having the air pressure too low or high can cause issues for the tires and vehicle. Low tire pressure can cause the tires to wear faster than usual. This is because when the air pressure is low, the area of the tire that is in contact with the road is much wider. Another issue is that it can make the vehicle difficult to turn because there is more resistance because of the under inflation. If you notice that a tire is losing pressure frequently, there may be a leak in it and with time, the tire could go completely flat. If the air pressure is too high, it can affect the performance and handling of the vehicle. This can also make the vehicle harder to turn, control, and handle. The tire will be over inflated and the area that is in contact to the road will be smaller. This also makes it harder for the tires to grip and handle like they should.
Checking the air pressure on a regular basis can help save money at the pumps, as well as on the tires. Tires that have the incorrect amount of pressure will have a significant decrease in life. You can also bring the vehicle in and we can check the air pressure on the tires for you.

Indonesian woman jailed 5 months for dumping newborn in recycling bin at Tai Keng Gardens

An Indonesian woman was sentenced to five months' jail after she admitted to abandoning her newborn baby in a recycling bin at Tai Keng Gardens, the Straits Times reported on Thursday (Nov 5).
The baby boy was found in a private residential estate near Upper Paya Lebar Road on the night of July 27.
The 29-year-old woman, who cannot be named due to a gag order, was said to have been hired as a maid at the time of the offence.
In 2018, she developed a relationship with a Bangladeshi man according to the court. She then discovered her pregnancy earlier this year.
The woman tried to terminate her pregnancy by taking pills but to no avail.
On the day of the crime, the woman reportedly felt contractions and gave birth around 1pm in a bathroom in her employer's home.
The Straits Times reported that the woman wrapped the infant in a towel and placed him in a paper bag after cutting his umbilical cord with a pair of scissors.
She later left the baby in the recycling bin and held up the lid to allow air to enter the bin.
The baby boy was discovered after a resident, who wishes to be known as Mr Lew, said his son-in-law heard a "strange noise" coming from the recycling bin.
The 65-year-old said he initially thought that the sound came from a stray animal such as a cat or a dog.
Upon a closer look, he realised that the sounds were from a baby who was wrapped in a towel and placed in a paper bag.
His family took the baby out of the bin and called for help. An ambulance arrived soon after. Paramedics attended to the baby boy at the scene and later took him to the KK Women's and Children's Hospital.
Police said that there were no visible injuries on the baby and his condition was stable.

Home / Ram
By Patrick Rall G+ Sep 5 2018 - 12:24pm
Ram 1500 Hybrid Gains 2-3mpg around Town and Combined, 1mpg on the Highway
FCA has announced the official EPA fuel economy numbers for the 2019 Ram 1500 models with the eTorque mild hybrid system and both engines pick up 2 to 3 miles per gallon in the city and combined while also improving by 1 mile per gallon on the highway and making for a smooth drive.
The Ram eTorque system is a great hybrid package, as it improves fuel economy and makes for smoother upshifts, downshifts and initial acceleration (especially when towing) without any real downsides. Both the V6- and Hemi-powered Ram 1500 pickups with the hybrid system can be driven hard and they feel very much like the non-hybrid models, but when driven more gently, the hybrid system makes for a much smoother driver. The system provides electric power whenever torque output from the engine is at its lowest, including during shifts, so the "bump" that is generally felt when the truck shifts are smoothed out.
Also, when pulling out from a stop with a 5,000-pound horse trailer, the initial torque provided by the eTorque system makes for smoother acceleration and that is great when you are towing live animals. At the same time, if someone who didn't know that it was a hybrid drove one of these trucks, they would almost certainly have no idea that it was a hybrid-powered pickup, especially when we are talking about the Hemi engine.
However, when it comes to hybrid discussions, the key figure is fuel economy and that regard, the 2019 Ram eTorque system doesn't disappoint.
2019 Ram 1500 Pentastar V6
First up, we have the eTorque system mated to the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. While the V6 package is a late availability option, the hybrid system is standard with the V6. In other words, the Ram 1500 V6 only comes as a hybrid, so we have to compare the fuel economy numbers to the 2018 Ram 1500 Classic with the non-hybrid V6.
The 2019 Ram 1500 V6 eTorque with rear-wheel-drive has received EPA fuel economy ratings of 20mpg in the city, 25mpg on the highway and 22mpg combined. The 2018 Ram 1500 V6 RWD non-hybrid offers 17mpg in the city, 25mpg on the highway and 20mpg combined – meaning that the hybrid V6 RWD gets the same number on the highway while improving by 3mpg in the city and 2mpg combined.
With four-wheel-drive, the 2019 Ram eTorque V6 offers 19mpg in the city, 24mpg on the highway and 21mpg combined – up 3mpg around town, 1mpg on the highway and 2mpg combined.
2019 Ram 1500 Hemi eTorque
The 2019 Ram 1500 with the Hemi is offered with and without eTorque, so we have more accurate comparison between the two numbers.
The 2019 Ram 1500 Hemi eTorque with rear-drive offers 17mpg around town, 22mpg on the highway and 19mpg combined while the non-hybrid is rated at 15mpg in the city, 21mpg on the highway and 17mpg combined. These numbers lead to an improvement of 2mpg around town, 1mpg on the highway and 2mpg combined.
Those improvements are the same for the 2019 Ram Hemi hybrid with the four-wheel-drive, with the 4x4 getting the same 17mpg in the city and the same 19mpg combined as the rear-drive trucks, but on the highway, the hybrid package gets 22mpg while then non-hybrid gets 21mpg.
These aren't gigantic numbers, but when you combine the long-term benefits at the pump with the improved drivability – especially if you are towing livestock – the eTorque system is a great feature of the Ram 1500 lineup.

As you say it's a nice MPG bump. I only wonder why they don't team up the hybrid drivetrain with the eco-diesel engine, which was already getting 21 city/29Hwy for the RWD Ram. Sure the diesel engine doesn't need the torque boost the way that the gas V6 does, but the combination of the thrifty diesel engine and the hybrid drivetrain should have attained the top MPG numbers in their class.

Guest Post-Spooky Top 5: Disney Halloween Movies
28 October 2011 by Ryan P. Wilson Leave a Comment
Here's another great post from Ryan Wilson of the Main St. Gazette – enjoy! ~Zanna
The leaves have been rustling here, and it is getting darker earlier in the evenings, which can mean only one thing, in just a few days princesses, pirates, monsters, cowgirls, and bugs will be descending upon our streets in search of sweet treats! This, of course, makes it the perfect time to watch a spooky movie with the ones you love the most. Here are my top five Disney flickswhich are sure to give you just as many tricks as they do treats!I need to start off with two dishonorable mentions. Arguably, the two most frightening attractions in Walt Disney World and Disneyland are The Haunted Mansion
and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
. Films based upon both of these attractions have been created, with all-star casts attached, but both features fall well short of their potential. Still, for images that remind you of your favorite attraction, or just a bit of family fun, they will do the trick in a pinch.
Number 5 – The Black Cauldron
The Black Cauldron, it is said, has the power to bring the dead back to life as a warrior horde. The Horned King, a villain who is sure to send shivers down your spine, seeks the cauldron in order to raise just such an army. However, this is a classic fantasy journey, and the scores of undead are met with plenty to smile and laugh about. This animated feature was seven years in the making, and it feels as if it could have used a couple more years cooking in the cauldron, but still manages to deliver the good vs. evil action!
Number 4 – Hocus Pocus
Set in Salem, MA in the 17th Century and the early 1990s, this film features a trio of inadvertently humorous witches brought back from beyond the grave. The Sanderson sisters, portrayed by Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker, use their witchy ways to suck the life out of children in order to maintain the young(ish) beauty (if they say so…). After being summoned to the present day, it is up to the children who accidentally brought them back to stop them, along with their talking cat. This film shows that comedy really can be scary!
Number 3 – Animated Shorts
There are tons of animated shorts that would make for the perfect Halloween viewing. These are just a few of my favorites spooky shorts. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949) features Ichabod Crane who has run afoul of the Headless Horseman. Bing Crosby's narration is sure to give you chills! Night on Bald Mountain (Fantasia
– 1940) is the darkest segment of Fantasia and features the heavy Chernabog, the second most memorable character from Fantasia who remains a time-tested, fan-favorite Disney Villain to this day. Chernabog's beckoning to the dead is sure to frighten even the bravest of souls. Lastly, The Skeleton Dance (1929). This short is the first of the Silly Symphonies
and is sure to spark ghoulish grins for the whole family.
Number 2 – Nightmare Before Christmas
This Halloween-Christmas hybrid, which fans watch all the year round, features jack Skellington, the King of the Pumpkin Patch who wishes for something more that scares and finds it in Christmas. While the citizens of Halloween Town may seem terrifying to adults at first glance, the non-menacing way in which they are utilized, along with the terrific songs, call kids back to this film again and again. Though the dastardly Oogie Boogie, may draw out a scream or two, especially from insect-phobic children and moms!
Number 1 – Something Wicked This Way Comes
This movie, featuring Jonathan Pryce as the enigmatic Mr. Dark, is the real deal folks. Based upon Ray Bradbury's novel of the same name, Mr. Dark and his carnival blow into Greentown one fateful autumn evening. They've come to town seeking to grant the residents' wildest wishes… for a price. What secrets are held within the Pandemonium Carnival and can Mr. Dark be stopped by a librarian and two young boys? You'll have to watch the film to find out, but be warned, it is not for the faint of heart!

Guest Post: Kingdom of Courage
On Earth Day in 2010, after seeing the trailer for Disneynature: African Cats
for the first time, I tweeted out something to the effect that followers should be marking their calendars as the return of True-Life Adventures would begin on 22 April 2011. Today, having viewed the movie in theaters and now in my home, I stand by that unsubstantiated assertion that I felt down in my gut.It isn't that the creatures featured have been given names to make them more relatable, you find the true depth to the film in its natural narrative of life. The joys of children, the heartache of loss, the thrills of success, and the agony of defeat at the hands of a rival are all present within African Cats, and they are captured without the meddling hands of man. This can cause many stomach churning dilemmas, such as when a cub is lost and the immediate thought is to swoop in and keep a toddling cheetah cub to its safe when hyenas are on the prowl or when one of our heroines is continually injured and seeks a quiet place in the field to move on peacefully when all you want is for someone to give the graceful creature the medical attention she so desperately needs. In a reserve, the rules is no interference, if simply for the fact that once you begin intruding how do you decide where to stop, what is the line you won't cross.
The entire feature was shot in Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve, which borders the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. One of the best preserved savanna systems in the world, Masai Mara provided stunning backdrops and gorgeous vistas which are dropped in throughout the movie. Even with an abundance of animal life and fantastic scenery, it took the filmmakers two years and hundreds of hours of filming to craft the story of African Cats.
A little humor here, there were two scenes in the movie that, whether intentional or not, reminded me of counterparts in Walt Disney World. First, the ever-present Thomson's Gazelles immediately made me shout out, "Tommies!" Secondly, a scene where the lions have hunted a zebra and are standing around the carcass was eerily reminiscent of the Jungle Cruise scene where the pack of lions take care to watch over the sleeping zebra.The bonus features of African Cats are, in a word, lackluster and, if given a second and third word, too brief. One focuses on the Save the Savanna initiative tied to the film's theatrical and home theater releases. A second gives an introduction to the ties between Disney and the wild corners of the world. Lastly, there is the requisite music video, Jordan Sparks' "The World I Knew" in this instance.
The true hidden gem of the film's extras, however, comes in the form of the commentary viewing option. This presentation included pop-up informational tidbits, picture-in-picture interviews with the filmmakers, and breakaway featurettes which could be viewed or passed on by the viewer. These breakout videos include a wealth of information on the Masai Mara, slow motion filmmaking, aerial filming, cinematographers, elephants, flimmakers' camp, vehicles, rain, filming with Cineflex camera, field assistants and tracking the animals, life in the field, and the musical score.
African Cats originally came with the subtitle, Kingdom of Courage, a title befitting the experience of the filmmakers capturing these tales on film and the cats struggling to raise their precious families. The ability to see and explore these wild arenas, where animal families interact in ways that are similar and strikingly different to our own family groups, is remarkable. African Cats will stun you with its beauty and stories that hit remarkably close to home. The filmmakers have done their job well, you will feel for the cheetahs and lions and, if we're very lucky, this new True-Life Adventure is only just the tip of the iceberg that will renew our, and our children's, interest in preserve the wild places left in the world.

Guest Post: Disney-LEGO Studios?
9 September 2011 by Ryan P. Wilson Leave a Comment
Here's another fun post from Ryan P. Wilson of the Main St. Gazette. A truly dedicated Disney and LEGO maniac! 😉
I've been working on a personal project for the past couple of years, a labor (literally) of love that combines two of my favorite passions, Walt Disney World and LEGO. For years now, LEGO has been developing building sets based off of popular franchises, the longest of these collaborations being Star Wars. In 2008, with the introduction of Indiana Jones LEGO sets I had a thought, what if I could build my own Disney's Hollywood Studios, or a variation of, out of LEGOs?With the spark in my heart and mind I set out to create a park brick by brick. Early on I made the decision that while I could cannibalize various sets and Pick-A-Bricks (LEGO's online service that allows you to purchase only the bricks you want) to construction spots such as the Hollywood Tower Hotel or Chinese Theatre, that I really wanted to stick to sets everyone could pick up. After years of collecting and assembling, here is the current, though I doubt final, version of LEGO Disney's Hollywood Studios (Should I dare to call it Disney-LEGO Studios?).
The Main Street Gazette edition of LEGO Studios!
While I may have purchased and built the entire sets, I did not always include the entire set, occasionally this was due to the fact that the entire set couldn't be seen inside the Studios. So, what do we have? Representing Star Tours We have the Endor bunker, speeder bike and AT-AT Walker, hosted by R2-D2 and C-3PO (I will admit, Threepio came from a set not listed here, but it felt wrong not to include him). Pixar is embodied by meet and greets for Buzz and Woody, their ship and sheriff's office respectively, the Green Army Men, and Mater and Lightning. While several scenes from Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular could be utilized, I picked the Cairo scene, for its charm and for the fact that it is the scene that extras (like myself) get to jump into the action. Last, but not least, I've included the Pirates of the Caribbean cannibal cage, which can be seen along the Studio Backlot Tour.There are additions or substitutions that could be made. For instance either the Indiana Jones Temple Escape or Flying Wing could be used in place of the Cairo set. Similarly, Jabba's Sail Barge comes complete with a skiff that could also be used for the Studio Backlot Tour. Also, LEGO has just released an Ewok Attack set whose Endor trees could be used to shelter the AT-AT Walker.
Is it perfect? No. Is it a complete picture of Disney's Hollywood Studios? Absolutely not. Does it make me smile to have found a way to combine two of my favorite things? You'd better believe it! And yes, yes I am the boy who never grew up.
Sets Utilized:
Pirates of the Caribbean The Cannibal Escape 4182
Indiana Jones Ambush in Cairo 7195

GUEST POST: Easy Living Comes Easy For Bears
30 June 2011 by Ryan P. Wilson Leave a Comment
If your childhood was anything like mine, then you spent a good deal of your allotted television time watching VHS of Walt Disney Home Videos. You know, the white plastic-cased movies sporting Sorcerer Mickey on the cover. My absolute favorite of these VHS tapes, the one I had memorized the spot of in the video rental store, was Yellowstone Cubs.
The feature followed around two bear cubs, Tuffy and Tubby, who had become separated from their mother, Necomas, after a family decides to feed the family of bears against the park's warnings. Throughout the tale the cubs provide the comic relief, in the form of crashes, smorgasbord feedings and even a runaway motorboat. Meanwhile, the mama bear tugs on your heartstrings during her journey to find her cubs, a quest that leads her across the park and even labels her a dangerous bear. The feature also sought to inform viewers not just about the habits of bears, but also about the natural wonder that is Yellowstone. In the end, the family is reunited at Old Faithful Inn and sent on about their business.
In the incarnation of the video I watched so often, it was a double feature with the 1961 Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color segment, Flash the Teenage Otter. Flash is great in its own rights, but in my heart, it's no Yellowstone Cubs. But the double feature concept was not new to the Yellowstone Cubs. Due to its short length, only 48 minutes, the film was paired up with Savage Sam for their June 1, 1963 debut.
Aside from the antics of the bears themselves, the narrator was one of the more memorable elements of Yellowstone Cubs. In all likelihood, that voice narrated a great deal of all of our childhoods, as it was none other than Rex Allen. Aside from narrating a selection of Walt Disney wildlife documentaries and films, he also narrated the Shaggy D.A. and Charlotte's Web. He was well known as a singing cowboy, which came in handy for Yellowstone Cubs' Easy Living, and often played a cowboy who may not have shared his profession, but definitely shared his name.
I hope you enjoyed wandering down the trail and reminiscing with me today, and I hope these photographs of Tubby sucking down a bottle, Necomas rummaging through a trailer, and Tuffy and Tubby stuffing themselves in the kitchen of Old Faithful Inn brought back some memories for you.

There is something to be said for Disney, and that is that there is something for everyone, from film genres to theme park experiences. Even within a single park theater buffs can find an enjoyable show, while those who detest such theatrics can find an incredible rollercoaster. Expand that idea outward into Disney's other enterprises, and animation lovers have a wide berth of movies to choose from, whereas macho men have sporting news and events 24/7 on ESPN. Mix in a variety of merchandise for each avenue of entertainment, and there is indeed something centered around any given interest for individuals to collect.
Take me for example. My love affairs with Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Expedition Everest, Disneynature, Frontierland, EPCOT Center, Zorro, Davy Crockett, etc. have all been well documented. Two other films I have long fancied have not been as readily recorded, not because I am ashamed of them, but merely because there is so little to really be gathered on the topics. I am of course speaking of The Rocketeer and Dick Tracy. It is treasures from these movies that really set my heart soaring while I scramble for my checkbook.
If there is a single item related to Dick Tracy that I have continually sought after it is a collection of Crimestopper game pieces tied to the 1990 release. The two stage scratch-offs were from McDonald's and included a multiple choice scene and a mug shot.
In the multiple choice section, a painted backdrop is used to highlight a scene in which the customer, aka detective, is given an assignment, including finding the location of a robbery, a gangster cheating at cards, or the hiding place of key evidence. Three of the five rub off spots were GAME OVER boxes, while one led to a successful mission and prizes such as free food and drinks, coupons, and cash prizes. The remaining spot was always a tip to the winning location. This often took the form of telling customers which box (A, B, C, D, or E) to scratch, but in the best of cards it was a clue, for example to try the tallest gangster or search near the telephone. This game play made me love these pieces as a kid, and I was drawn to McDonald's as often as I could convince my parents to drive me there.
The second stage of the game, detachable from the colorful movie scene, featured the name and mug shot of a wanted mobster. Throughout the contest, near mug shots would appear on a most wanted board at participating restaurants. Match a mug shot to your game piece and collect your rewards, up to $1,000,000!
After years of sifting through the evidence, I now have a completed set, well of the scenes at least, with several extras I've been able to scratch off. For those of you who enjoy all things tied to the yellow clad detective, I present a full set of scenes and assignments for you to enjoy!
The Scene: A burglary is in progress.
Your Assignment: Help Dick Tracy find the thief's location.

Transformation and Rebirth – The Crimson Wing Guest Review
16 November 2010 by Ryan P. Wilson 1 Comment
Great thanks to Ryan P. Wilson, Editor-in-Chief at the amazing resource that is the Main Street Gazette. I have written before about how much I love his site and am honored to have him writing a couple of guest posts here at ZannaLand. Please welcome him and enjoy his inspiring review of Disneynature's The Crimson Wing —
Documentaries seek to tell a story, for nature documentaries that story is even more critical to advancing the story and the cause of the natural world presented within the film's frames. The third release from Disneynature, and the first not shown on the big screen in the United States, is perfectly aware that the story is what resonates with audiences.
The Crimson Wing follows the life cycle of flamingos in Central Africa. From the journeys that bring these creatures hundreds and thousands of miles to salt saturated Lake Natron to mate in a sea of ruby feathers to the birth, hardships, and flight of fledgling flamingos, The Crimson Wing is awash with intriguing questions and relatable lessons of life. In most animal documentaries the individuals the film focuses upon are given names to assist in connecting the audience with the creature. While a single flamingo is central to the tale, no names are given in The Crimson Wing, a welcome sign that the filmmakers respect the intelligence of those viewing the narrative in front of them.
Frame for frame, I would have to say that The Crimson Wing is one of the most beautiful features ever shot. The scarlet mirror that is Lake Natron, flamingos flying across the moon and storm clouds, a single chick being encouraged to break free of its shell, red stains on a salt island, and even our heroine streaking across the top of the water and lifting off into the sky are only a few of the astounding images captured to convey the remarkable tale. The film also features the melodious narration of Mariella Frostrup, one of three women voices considered almost perfect by a study from Post Office Telecoms.
Because of the longstanding tradition of nature films associated with the Disney name, the films from Disneynature have often been compared, rightly or wrongly, to Walt Disney's True Life Adventures. While the stories of both Earth and Oceans, Disneynature's two previous releases, have found their own paths to tug at viewers heartstrings their expansive subject matter cannot dedicate enough screen time to the individual chapters. The Crimson Wing, with its dedicated subject matter, most accurately resembles the True Life Adventures. The narrative features an exotic locale, an unheralded but recognizable lead creature, triumph, heartbreak, and mysteries stemming from both the flamingos and their birthplace.
In its opening, The Crimson Wing relates the thread that ties flamingos to the myth of the phoenix. In a similar fashion, The Crimson Wing burns brightly with all the elements needed to make a nature documentaries rise from the ashes. While not a movie for every viewer, The Crimson Wing is a remarkable show that reminds me of features I watched as a child with my parents, making it a perfect addition for nature loving families of this generation.
You can check out a trailer and clips of The Crimson Wing, which is available now on Blu-Ray, DVD and movie download. Ryan will be back soon with a review of Disneynature's Oceans, so be sure to stay tuned.

Gone are the days of fumbling multiple smartphones so that everyone can have the same picture on their phone! With Chedr you just take a picture once, and with the click of a button everyone around you gets the picture and can Save it to their phone.
So maybe you don't want everyone around you to see the pictures that you're sharing. In that case, you can create an Event. An Event is an easy way for you to share pictures with a smaller group of people.
For example, if you're throwing a party you can create #MySuperCoolParty and tell all of your friends to post their pictures to #MySuperCoolParty. Now you all have a single place where everyone can see everyone else's pictures in real time, and at the end of the night, you can download and save just the photos that you like!
Events can either be Public (can be searched and accessed by anyone) or Private (password protected).
When someone Posts a picture to Nearby, that picture is made available for everyone around to see. That means that you can use Chedr to explore your neighborhood and see what's happening in real time! Did you know there's a carnival down the street? Look at those amazing food pictures… OH! There's a food festival nearby! Don't know which bar or house party to hit up? Check the Chedr app and you'll be able to answer the age old question "Where's the party at?!?!".
Here you can see all pictures that are being posted nearby. You can adjust the radius and sort by closest, most recent, or most popular.
This is where you can capture a picture and post it to nearby, or post it to an event that already exists. The pictures you take will automatically be saved to your phone's gallery (you can disable this under My Settings).
Here you can search for events or create your own. Search for any event that has been created. However in order to access a private event you'll need the password.
Here you can see your events that you have created as well as your pictures that you have taken. You can also access your personal settings.

TINTIN BY HERGE: POLITICALLY INCORRECT?
tags: tintin
by dolz2
Last Saturday was premiered in Brussels Steven Spielberg's last film "The adventures of Tintin " where Georges Prosper Remi was born, better known as Hergé, Tintin's creator. The official movie site is http://www.us.movie.tintin.com/
At the world premiere, the director says he never gave up on the project despite taking 28 years to complete it. Hergé said 30 years ago that Spielberg was the only man to bring it to the big screen. And now, with the help of the Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson, he has done exactly that.
However, Tintin has been a controversial cartoon character. He is the affable Belgian reporter who goes around the world on adventures and often returns with interesting stories. Made in the early 1930s and 1940s, the great majority of the criticism toTintin has come up only during recent times. Some people accused Tintin of being anticommunist, based on the story of "Tintin in the Land of the soviets" . Others considered him a racist based on the series called, "Tintin in Congo", when he openly puts down the natives. Hergé, later apologized that he was affected by the colonialist context he was in.
Last September started a civil process against "Tintin in Congo" at the Palace of Justice in Brussels. The court told that "Tintin in Congo" is paternalistic, not racist. The judge said she would issue a final ruling by mid-February next year.
If you want to know more about it I advise you to see a 2003 documentary called "Tintin and I" by Anders Høgsbro Østergaard, about Hergé.
In any case, if you are a fan of Tintin I recommend you to visit the Hergé Museum, a spectacular museum located in the Belgian town of Louvain-la-Neuve.

I don´t understand why Tintin is a controversial cartoon character; In my opinion is just that, a comic character and its adventures were created to entertain adults and children but always in its context.
Of course nowadays a cartoon in which were expressed those kind of ideas it would be political incorrect but the general mentality 80 years ago was different and we should´nt judge Hergé for his old-fashioned ideas.
I used to read Tintin when I was a child and it seemed to me funny and entertaining and that was all.

I agree with you Eugenia. Last September I was in Belgium and watching television I knew about the story of the Tintin in the court. I was surprised because of the time passed and the context of the story of Tintin in Congo. But, on the other hand, I can understand the rage of the Congolese when I remember the barbarity that the King Leopold II committed in Congo at the end of 19th century. Hundreds of thousands of Africans were put to work as porters to carry the white men's goods, as cutters of the wood needed to fire steamboat boilers, and as laborers of all kinds. In the early years the main commodity Leopold sought was ivory. Joseph Conrad, who spent six months in the Congo in 1890, draws a memorable portrait of this rapacious trade in his novel Heart of Darkness. Moreover, in this period population diminishes drastically due to disease, famine or slave labor, among other things. Consequently, it was considered a genocide.

As it happens, last Sunday I went to see the film with my daughter and I can tell you that we had a very good time. I had no idea about this mess, I´ve just found out and I´m really sorry. Anyway, I think the film is worth seeing no matter the undercurrent of tension.
Thanks for post Xelo. I must say I was never too keen on Tintin, but I did read a few of the comics as a child and enjoyed them.

Q: Get all NFTs of an Account on Flow Blockchain Can I get a list of all NFTs to an account on the Flow Blockchain? There is account storage and the documentation says

...Cadence represents each NFT as a resource object that users store in their accounts...

Or does the respective user has to have a dedicated collection in order to allow others to have a look at their NFTs?

A: To obtain all NFTs under a user account, the following conditions are required:

*

*A collection needs to be created under the account to store NFT.

*The collection provides a public method to query its NFT list.

The Bojo Game – Home Edition, developed by Black Knight Productions and BBM Multimedia and published by G3S.
Note: Version 1.5 of the game fixes the AI issues I discuss in this review. This patch was released after I posted this review but before retail release, so potential buyers won't experience the issues with the AI I mention below. While I didn't feel like re-writing an entire review (cutting out the rant about the AI would have made it extremely short), you can go ahead and bump up the overall score to a 6/8.
Gambling has become so popular that it's almost bordering on "sport" status; the World Series of Poker gets many showings on ESPN, complete with the action-packed excitement of watching cards turn over. Obviously, most gambling-type games would translate well to the computer games. I've been known to enjoy some poker, and a new card-based gambling game has come in the form of The Bojo Game – Home Edition (Ty Pennington not included). This is a combination of poker and craps (you know, what you get after eating too much Taco Bell), incorporating side bets for each card drawn and a main bet for the result in a simulated online environment. Will The Bojo Game – Home Edition prove to be an engrossing gambling game worthy of your virtual dollars?
The Bojo Game – Home Edition features some utilitarian 2-D graphics, similar to the consoles you'd find in an Applebee's. The background is supposed to look like a casino, with flaming flames that don't seem to ignite the playing cards for some reason. There aren't many special effects in the game, other than the countdown timer and the flames in the background. The cards appear on the game table and you use the mouse to select your bets each turn, and that's pretty much it. The game does have a bunch of stats that are accessible from the main screen and you'll never have to navigate away from it, so that's nice. This is about the best the game could have looked without making the leap to 3-D (which, honestly, is unnecessary) and the interface promotes speedy and unhindered gameplay. The sound in the game is underwhelming, though: a lot more could have been done to promote the casino atmosphere. Overall, The Bojo Game – Home Edition has a fairly standard presentation that lacks the loud noises and shiny things that accompany most gambling ventures, but it still looks decent for a straightforward gambling game.
The Bojo Game – Home Edition is a betting game surrounding five card stud poker (and I, for one, should know about stud poker…because I'm a STUD). You bet on each individual card's color, suit, and rank, as well as the overall hand (one pair, straight, flush, et cetera). Being a Home Edition, you don't actually play online, rather against simulated AI players numbering between 200 and 100,000. While the lack of online features should be noted, the game would progress exactly the same if you were competing against real people, so it's not really missed. You can change some of the settings in the game, from the number of AI players to the amount each bet costs (you always start with $200). You can also adjust the amount the casino charges for betting for a more realistic monetary experience. You are playing against the other players and not the house, so the strategy is to bet in the categories that others are not to maximize your profits. The game displays how many competitors have bet in each category, but I would like to see a bar graph for easier identification of underutilized bets: staring at numbers is a bit strenuous.
The basic premise of The Bojo Game – Home Edition is well executed, for the most part. There is the potential for a very entertaining game: while the side bets are mostly luck, you can adjust your betting to take advantage of the least used categories. There is also some intrigue associated with the poker bets: will the next card produce a straight or a pair? You must play a poker bet before the first card is thrown and you can only increase your poker bet (meaning you can change your bet from one pair to two pairs but not back again). The thing that ruins The Bojo Game – Home Edition is the elementary AI. The first sign of trouble is that each of the poker bets gets an evenly distributed amount of bettors at the start of each round. You mean to tell me the AI thinks getting a royal flush is just as likely as one pair? This goes for the numerical bets as well: every card gets essentially an equal number of bets, no matter which cards have been played. This results in inflated winnings if you guess correctly on the side bets. The AI is even worse with the poker bets: no matter which cards have been played, the "royal flush" category always gets the most bets at the end of each round. This is caused by the even distribution and the fact that you can only increase your bets: evenly distributed increases cause a massive amount of "royal flush" bets. This could be partially solved by allowing movement up and down the poker tree and awarding more money for staying on a single poker bet longer. As it stands, you get the same amount of money if you chose two pair on the last turn than if you kept it all along, which doesn't seem fair. What really needs to be done to solve the The Bojo Game – Home Edition puzzle is to improve the AI. The computer players need to avoid poker bets that are impossible according to the current cards played. If an eight is the first card, there should be nobody betting royal flush (other than those who played it from the beginning, which actually shouldn't be anyone since you can move up to royal flush from one pair anyway). If you have a king of clubs and a three of diamonds, why are the AI bettors throwing their money on a straight or flush? It doesn't make any sense and it's quite sad since good AI would make this game much more enjoyable. The AI should also be programmed to look at the played cards when doing single-card bets. Although single bets work well enough since they are more suited to evenly distributed bets, more variety would result in more exciting gameplay. Although the basic game is fun enough, the lack of thoughtful competition will turn a lot of people away from The Bojo Game – Home Edition.
The Bojo Game – Home Edition is a good card betting game destroyed by incapable AI. I like the premise and it opens the window for some interesting betting, as you try to out-maneuver your AI opponents. While there is only one mode of play using the default rules and betting structure, the combination of short-term and long-term bets makes for an entertaining gambling game. However, the shoddy AI makes winning in the game all too easy. When 23 people bet on one pair (usually the winning hand) while 7,000 bet on royal flush, there is a problem. The AI completely ignores the cards that have been played, so straights, flushes, full houses, and three of a kinds will continue to be bet on even if they are impossible to get. Hopefully the AI can be easily improved and The Bojo Game – Home Edition will be a better game in the future. I do like the overall design, and The Bojo Game – Home Edition is an AI fix away from being a notable gambling title. But as it stands now, the AI is too unintelligent to enjoy as a competitor.

A Peasant Chronicle in Gruyère
The shooting of this peasant chronicle in the Gruyere region of Switzerland lasted a whole year, from July 1989 to July 1990. A year of work and festivities in the family of Conrad and Louise Bapst, their children and grandchildren who live in La Roche (canton of Fribourg). In summer, part of the family goes with the herd to the upper pastures, and will move six times in the next three months, as the grass for the cows grows in higher and higher places. At the farm below, the rest of the family mows the hay and the after crop, and tends the vegetable garden. Fall and winter bring new chores, along with feast-days, and the sale of cheeses to pay for rented pastures. We see the family participate in a vote for or against the Swiss Army, and at a meeting where mountain farmers discuss whether or not to join the European Union. The film displays the patient and human approach of an almost silent minority of Switzerland. Filmmaker: Jacqueline Veuve

Recently, the American Association for Cancer Research and Bayer presented $250,000 in grants to 10 emerging scientists working in the promising areas of oncogenic signaling, immuno-oncology, and targeted thorium and antibody drug conjugates.
"We know that the next great idea — or perhaps cure — could be blossoming in the lab of a post-doc or a startup hungry for seed funding," Ramanathan wrote.

Sometimes I check what will be commited for that I'm using `--cached` argument.

Today I change the indentation of a huge file and my diff was unreadable. You can do `-w`

```
-w  --ignore-all-space
       Ignore all white space.
```

If you use ohmyzsh and the git plugin you [have a shortcut for the `git diff --cached`](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/blob/master/plugins/git/git.plugin.zsh#L80-L81)

My command is then `gdca -w`
