We want to share the progress with you, and also tricks and techniques that pop up along the way. We'll be posting art from the game here first, as we make it, with explanations and walk-throughs of the creation process where we can.
If you find it useful, or just want to see the game come out faster/better, we'd love whatever support you can offer, even $1/month would be amazing.
Happy game making, and THANK YOU!!
The character design, on the other hand, is barely middling, and if I was directing this game I'd make sure to get someone on board who could design and illustrate good characters asap. I would not release an otherwise so promising game with such mediocre character art.


April 5, 2018 - While the headlines read Trump, Tariffs and Trade Wars, loans quietly proved their mettle once again during the first quarter of 2018. Loans boasted a 1.45% total return (a six-quarter best) while all other major asset classes (from treasuries to equities) bled red ink during the first three months of the year. And over the same period, return volatility in loan land fell to its lowest level since the summer of 2014. Case in point, the average 12-month lagging standard deviation of return (SDR) on the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (LLI) came in at just 0.29% in March. In comparison, High Yield and High Grade bonds reported six month high SDRs of 0.68% and 0.81%, respectively. But it's not as if loans have been hitting the ball out of the park. Truth be told, LLI market value returns were negative during four of the previous five months, with January being the lone exception.
At an average bid of 98.4, the secondary market is currently off 30 basis points from the 2018 high water mark registered two months earlier. That said, bid levels are still up year-to-date by an average of 38 basis points (thanks to January) despite dipping 12 basis points in March. In total, just 38% of loans reported MTM gains during the month while 42% reported losses. Across the quarter though, results were much more upbeat as 55% of loan prices advanced and just 35% declined. From a price distribution standpoint, par-plus market share remained flat in March at 66% after increasing by six percentage points since year-end.
In taking a closer look at the first quarter, technical conditions remained robust amid a flurry of new issue but fundamentals looked a bit weaker. On the demand side, loan mutual funds raked in an estimated $3 billion-plus which propelled AUM to $160 billion – a 3.5 year high. CLOs too, came out of the gate swinging this year and recorded their busiest first quarter ever at $32 billion in new issuance. On the supply side, new deal flow strengthened as the quarter wore on. In total, LLI outstandings swelled 3.6%, or by $34.3 billion, to a fresh record $989.5 billion. To the downside, the new issue market remained extremely borrower friendly as spreads tested their post-crisis lows and terms continued to test lenders' patience. Not all was lost from an all-in rate perspective though, as 3-month LIBOR increased at a faster rate than new issue spreads contracted.
On the credit side, the current cycle may be waning as it enters its 10th year. But most managers still believe there's plenty of runway ahead – 64% of managers surveyed by S&P said the default rate will not hit its historical average (3.1%) until sometime in 2020. Interestingly though, almost 10% predicted that could happen as soon as this year. So, why the near-term concern?
First off, the ratio of downgrades to upgrades, on a rolling three-month basis, was worse than 2:1 during the past three months. Second, following the iHeart bankruptcy, the default rate, by amount, spiked to a 3-year high of 2.42%. But to be fair, S&P noted that the subsequent pick-up in the default rate is the "culmination of a now 10 year-old failed LBO, and not indicative of a material pickup in systemic risk". Fitch also weighed in and agreed that the spike was "not indicative of current credit conditions". We hope they are correct.

Both the bedrooms are on the lower floor, allowing for a great entertaining and dining space upstairs. The spacious living room has an extra large sectional sofa surrounding the fireplace. The dining table boasts seating for 6 and additional barstools. The kitchen has all the amenities of home and everything you'll need.

The clubhouse offers an outdoor hot tub, another large grill and a common room with games. This townhome has it all and is perfect for summer and winter! Minimum Age is 25.
We loved the vacation rental. Loved the wood burning fireplace, old school CD player and speakers and great music to boot. They could work on the beds and bed linens.
GREAT WEEKEND! A VERY NICE SURPRISE UPON ENTERING " A THANK YOU CARD AND A GREAT GIFT "FAT TIRE" GREAT PLACE.
The condo actually is nicer than what the photos make it out to be. It was well stocked, although some of the pans need replacing. We were delighted to be greeted with snacks and wine. We did wish there was A/C. I know it's not hot for long in the mountains, but my menopausal mom is always hot. The wi-fi was not very strong except late at night, so I do not recommend if you have work to do. Tv and Netflix services worked just fine, though. Beds comfortable, W/D worked great, everything clean. We loved the retro vibe and the sweet stereo. More of a 4.5 stay than a 4 star, but it won't let us do that.
Hi Katherine! So glad you enjoyed it! We absolutely agree that this property is better in person than the photos! Please come back and stay with us again, we think you (and your mom) would love it hear in late September when the leaves are changing and the temperatures are nice and cool! -Mountain Chalet Properties!
We loved that Lookout Village is close to Winter Park Resort and the local restaurants. It made our vacation affordable and flexible! The space provide privacy, everyone had their own bedroom. Jacob was very helpful and attentive!
Kelsey, We greatly appreciate your kind words. You were a wonderful guest. I am truly glad that you had such a positive experience, we would be eager to welcome you back!
This condo is great. It fit all 8 of us comfortably, is conveniently located around the corner from a grocery store, and is a 5 min drive to the ski slopes. Jacob and his staff were very accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to ensure our stay was everything we hoped it would be.
Cole, Thank you for the kind words! We are truly glad that you enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back anytime!
The location and condo were very nice. However, I chose this place because there was a hot tub. The hot tub was locked with a sign that said closed. The lock had a combo that was not provided to us. Please take the hot tub photo down if you don't intend for guest to be able to use it.
I spent four nights at Lookout Village during a recent trip to winter park. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed to have a great ski trip and is close to anything you could need including a grocery/liquor store on the way home from the mountain. This was one of the best VRBO condo's I've stayed in yet.
We absolutely loved our stay here! It was cozy and perfect. Everything we needed (and wanted) was here. The furniture was comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!
Thank you. This was a wonderful little retreat place for our family of four. The outside may appear non descript but the unit was lovely inside.
perfect location for winter park get away!
The house was a perfect place for me and some friends to get away to the mountains for a weekend. I liked that the sleeping and living areas were separate so that when some of us wanted to go to sleep the others could stay upstairs in the living room. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to winter park.
Can't beat this place for the price. We had 5 guys and everybody got a bed. There's also a hot tub nobody uses and the kitchen is fully stocked with stuff to make your own food but you have to clean most of it because its dirty. It is a little far from the hill, maybe 15 minutes or longer depending on weather but who cares for $150/night, WORTH!!!!!
LV16 is a lovely condo. Very open and spacious. Well appointed. We had a great stay. Close to WP skiing and lots of hiking,snowshoeing and CC skiing just minutes away (check out the red gate).
Our family of many young adults rented this condo for Christmas 2016. All agreed, it far surpassed any of the pics! We've rented several condos and this one was so cozy and spacious! The bedrooms nestled on main floor were so practical. The bonus room with 3 twins was so roomy. We loved the wood burning fireplace. The cupboards were stocked with any plate, pot, pan, glass, and condiment you could ask for, and more! We loved the complimentary wine, lotions, shampoo, etc. We were surprised you had to walk across the parking lot to the jacuzzi, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is so convenient, behind the grocery store, across from the sledding hill, and minutes from the ski resort! And it was clean!
From booking to check out, everything was top notch. Alex from Mountain Chalet Properties was very attentive and answered any question quickly. The condo itself is perfect. I really like the bedrooms being on the lower (entry) level. The "den" area is expansive and perfect for 8-10 people to lounge around. The supply of book, puzzles and movies is a nice touch too. We'll certainly be back!

IT'S EARLY DECEMBER, 10:30 in the morning, and Rene Zepeda is driving a Volunteers of America minivan around Salt Lake City, looking for reclusive homeless people, those camping out next to the railroad tracks or down by the river or up in the foothills. The winter has been unseasonably warm so far—it's 60 degrees today—but the cold weather is coming and the van is stacked with sleeping bags, warm coats, thermal underwear, socks, boots, hats, hand warmers, protein bars, nutrition drinks, canned goods. By the end of the day, Rene says, it will all be gone.
These supplies make life a little easier for people who live outside, but Rene's main goal is to develop a relationship of trust with them, and act as a bridge to get them off the street. "I want to get them into homes," Rene says. "I tell them, 'I'm working for you. I want to get you out of the homeless situation.'"
And he does. He and all the other people who work with the homeless here have perhaps the best track record in the country. In the past nine years, Utah has decreased the number of homeless by 72 percent—largely by finding and building apartments where they can live, permanently, with no strings attached. It's a program, or more accurately a philosophy, called Housing First.

Target workers look to organize amid anti-union climate
When patrons visit targetchangeny.com, the first thing they see is an embedded YouTube video (video attached to this story).
The video is set on a red, white and black background similar to Target's corporate colors and it begins like any other advertisement for the store-that is, until you start reading the text. "Do You Love Target?" reads the first sentence. "Do You Love Low Wages? Do You Love Disrespect? Do You Love Discrimination? Expects More. Pays Less."
United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Union Local 1500 is organizing its first union campaign in a Target store, and its goal is to sign up 5,000 employees in New York City. Target has been resistant to unionization efforts and has been passing out anti-union fliers around New York. The word is out that there have been threats against those attempting to organize, particularly in the Long Island neighborhood of Valley Stream.
In an emailed statement, a Target representative claimed there was no need for a union. He said, "Our emphasis is on creating a workplace environment where our team members don't want or need union representation.
Target works to create an environment of mutual trust between Target and our team members, an environment that promotes listening, responding to concerns of team members and always giving honest feedback. Target believes in solving issues and concerns by working together with the help and input of all team members."
The retail giant has also hired the law firm Jackson Lewis LLP, to play a major role in its anti-union campaign. Jackson Lewis published a book in 1997 entitled, "Winning NLRB Elections: Avoiding Unionization Through Preventative Employee Relations Programs," a 253-page volume that details how to "maintain a union-free workplace."
The statement from Target continued, "We annually conduct research to see how all elements of our pay and benefits program compare based on industry, location and size, and we place a priority on ensuring that our compensation and benefits align with or exceed the retail and other service industry companies in that specific market."
With corporate anti-union sentiment growing in many parts of the country, organizing a labor union could be considered a particularly difficult undertaking. However, that hasn't stopped Target Change and its advocates from letting their voices be heard. According to the campaign's website, the abovementioned ad was supposed to play on a video screen in Times Square but was banned by CBS.
UFCW Local 1500 explained the incident in detail on its blog. "The rejection of the advertisement is especially questionable since it was a representative of CBS who initially contacted the union and suggested using the CBS 'Super Screen' located in Times Square," read the blog post.
"The aisles at Target and the halls of CBS both stink tonight with the smell of censorship," said UFCW Local 1500 Spokesperson Pat Purcell. "This action by CBS indirectly produces the same result that Target stores directly seek as workers from around the New York area mobilize for change: [to] silence the workers' voice."
While much of the local and national reporting on this story has focused on the Tri-State area, the "Target Change" movement is getting support from around the country.
"I worked at a [Target in] D.C.," said Mark Joseph Peek of Albany, N.Y., on the campaign's Facebook page. "And when I even just slightly mentioned the word union, I was put on corrective action for 'inciting dissent.'"
Dawn O'Neil Camilleri is rallying behind the "Target Change" movement as well. "Don't give up the fight!" he posted on Facebook. "[I've been] a Local 1500 worker for 20-plus years. Without them, my job would probably pay $10 an hour. Instead, I make a living that supports a family and pays the mortgage."

Why put clean oil in a dirty system? Use RelaDyne's TurboFlush services to make sure your systems avoid premature wear and failures due to contamination.
Lubrication systems are constructed and operate in dirty environments, which is why equipment manufacturers have specifications and procedures for cleaning the system prior to start-up. This ensures that built-in contaminants don't cause premature failure and reduce the effective life of the machine. RelaDyne's TurboFlush services meet or exceed these OEM specifications and ensure you maximize your equipment life and reduce the chance of unplanned outages.
Hydroblasting utilizes extremely high pressures of water or oil to blast contamination and deposits from the internal surfaces of piping.
Circulating system tanks and reservoirs are designed as a first line of defense against contaminants in your fluid system. Regularly cleaning these systems is critical for maintaining fluid system reliability.
High Velocity Oil Flushing is an industry best practice for meeting OEM oil system cleanliness specifications. Using auxiliary pumps and jumpers to by-pass critical components of a lubricating system, the process rapidly removes contaminants from fluid systems.
High Velocity Flushing is a turnkey service managed by professional project managers with expertise on steam and combustion turbines, compressors, engines, and hydraulics. RelaDyne's portable/modular flushing skids (capable of 50-4,000 GPM) are designed for travel and tight spots in plants.
Chemical Cleaning is a specialty process that uses acids and passivation agents to remove corrosion and rust from the internals of new and old piping. This process is used to prepare metal surfaces prior to a high velocity oil flush and can drastically reduce flushing times on old systems.

On 20 January 1942, fifteen senior German government officials attended a short meeting in Berlin to discuss the deportation and murder of the Jews of Nazi-occupied Europe. Despite lasting less than two hours, the Wannsee Conference is today understood as a signal episode in the history of the Holocaust, exemplifying the labor division and bureaucratization that made the "Final Solution" possible. Yet while the conference itself has been exhaustively researched, many of its attendees remain relatively obscure. Combining accessible prose with scholarly rigor, The Participants presents fascinating profiles of the all-too-human men who implemented some of the most inhuman acts in history.
Hans-Christian Jasch is the Executive Director of the Memorial and Educational Site of the Wannsee Conference. He has authored the definitive study, published in 2012, of Wilhelm Stuckart, state secretary in the Reich Interior Ministry, and the role of the civil service in Jewish policy.
Christoph Kreutzmüller is a curator at the Jewish Museum Berlin. Before joining the museum he coordinated two extensive research projects on the fate of Jewish-owned businesses in Berlin during the Third Reich and on Jews in Berlin from 1918 to 1938 at Humboldt University of Berlin. His acclaimed study Final Sale in Berlin: The Destruction of Jewish Commercial Activity 1930–1945 was published in 2015 by Berghahn Books.

At the Rialto movie theatre in his hometown of El Dorado, Arkansas, eight-year-old Joe Lassiter fell in love with the ocean. What began that day with the Disney version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea—the Jules Verne classic—led to a deckhand job on oceanic research vessels at 14, and three years later to Lassiter's matriculation at MIT as an engineering student. He went on to earn three degrees at MIT, eventually becoming an assistant professor in the ocean engineering department, studying the economic and environmental consequences of offshore oil and gas development. He was on-course to be a lifetime academic—just as his mother had always imagined.
But in January 1976, he decided to spend a sabbatical at semiconductor test-equipment maker Teradyne. He figured he'd be back on campus by the fall. "And then, twenty years went by," says Lassiter. He focused on building new businesses during his nearly two decades at Teradyne, eventually leaving in 1994 to join the founding team of telecommunications start-up, Wildfire Communications. When Lassiter started teaching entrepreneurial finance on the HBS faculty two years later, he again had short-term expectations that proved instead long-term; this year will be his 16th at HBS.
As he began to write cases on biofuels and electric car manufacturers, his students were bringing him related ideas for field projects on photovoltaic cells, wind energy, and even new ways to produce oil and gas. In response, Lassiter and Professor Forest Reinhardt developed a new Building Green Business course, which they began teaching in 2008. Today, that course, known as Innovations in Business, Energy and the Environment, is taught by a team of HBS and SEAS faculty.

How brightly-coloured should Carcosa be?
I don't want to see Carcosa go authentick.
When I first played DnD I didn't get it. That's not completely my fault – Vance, Lieber, even Howard weren't on the fantasy and science fiction shelves at my local bookshop. Instead Tolkien and his imitators were. And Tolkien's delightfully grounded, authentickally mythickal, pseukdo-historickal type of fantasy was what I knew. And DnD had elves and dwarves and hobbits (yes dammit hobbits) and orcs and goblins and chainmail and platemail and swords and shields and bows and so I mistook it for Tolkienian Fantasy.
And so its non-Tolkienian elements often seemed jokey or stupid or devaluing to me, like TSR didn't understand how authentick this fantasy business needed to be, if it hoped to be taken seriously (I was a weird, intense kid). When I saw Bracers of Defense I deliberately thought "plate for thieves" instead of Wonder Woman – and I thought it really hard, exactly because I could see Wonder Woman out of the corner of my eye the whole time (and TSR were just fine with that, too: they didn't set about disabusing me of my moneymaking misconceptions. It would've been easy to put lightsabers or rayguns or Klingon fighting barbecues or Holtzman shield generators on the weapons list, but they didn't. Instead they printed magazine articles about "realism" and historical assassins' guilds*).
And so all that stuff which didn't fit a Tolkienian idea was as far as I was concerned a set of in jokes to which I was not privy. And I know that this is a common lament in the OSR.
Now it's 30 years later and I think I kinda do get it, but because I spent a good 20 of those years looking the wrong way, there was a lot I missed – that I dismissed out of hand.
So. Carcosa. It's not a Robert Chambers game. Giant Evil Wizard nailed it, I think, when he talked about its B-movie aspect. But of course it's not really Carcosa Wacky Races either. Despite my own cartoon splatbombs thrown at McKinney's setting, I understand and like its squicky, dark, doom-laden (but not Elrician), down-at-heel, hopeless, Lovecraftian edge. I want it to be serious and thoughtful and full of difficult choices and ready for grownup themes (not merely "adult content").
But what really intrigues me about the setting is how it straddles different tones – how it can veer serious or haplessly tragicomic or gonzo or weirdly historically relevant. I like it on that cusp. Actually, I think maybe the best way to respect it, to take it seriously, is to recognise that it's not CoC – that it makes no decisions for you about how you might play it. That actually it deliberately doesn't give you the ammo to turn it into something that can be worshipped.
Skeletor is a bone sorcerer.
Why is his body musclebound and his head a skeleton? Because his flesh is all there, but transparent.
And he belongs in Carcosa. No I don't mean that Carcosa is really a He-Man setting, or that I want my Carcosan opponents to adopt Skeletor's cackle or his ludicrous villainous schemes or that I really want to play Masters of the Universe and will bend Carcosa to fit this fever dream. Instead I mean Carcosa can stretch to cover MotU – it can serve to ground material of that level of lunacy, to make it meaningful, to give it a dramatic frame so that you can actually game it and have serious fun.
Masters of the Universe, in short, is one possible Carcosa (especially if you flip over the old master-slave dialectic there), lurking somewhere under the surface alongside Poe and Conrad and Pelsaert and Spinrad and Boorman and Golding. And it took Geoffrey McKinney, Jeff Rients and Earl Norem to make me see it.
After all, where but Carcosa would you expect to see this?
*and still today, among these enlightened people of the OSR, the spectre of realistic feudalism in DnD lingers.

Tel Aviv's Hottest Bars Have Trendiness on Tap
Beat the Mediterranean heat with a tipple or two at these sleek, sexy nightlight spots, all of which are new to the Tel Aviv nightlight scene.
Renana Halperin
The lowdown on the season's high art shows
The best bars in Tel Aviv you've never heard of
Meet the new Tel Avivians
Tourist tip #239 / Tuesdays in May mean free jazz in Jaffa
Port Said, the latest wrinkle in Tel Aviv's watering holes, is named after the coastal Egyptian city. Like all Mediterranean metropolises, the city Port Said has been through millennia of war and destruction, making the drinkery's moniker seem a bit forced. No matter, however, since most people still refer to the place by its old name, Teder (Frequency).
The new spot, found right behind Tel Aviv's Great Synagogue, is a hybrid restaurant-bar that doesn't mess with success. Its setup is similar to its predecessor Teder with seating spread throughout the indoor space and spilling out towards the steps of the Great Synagogue. Master chef Shani's bar menu is both tasty and poetic, and the cheerful staff has a low turnover rate as they serve the thirsty hordes in the humid, heavy Tel Aviv summer heat.
Because it is still in its "soft opening" stage, its opening hours vary by the day. Once the bar has settled into a neighborhood groove, its owners say Port Said will be open year-round from morning to night.
In terms of décor and other sundries, the bar has made some improvements. Outside seating has been upgraded. A high bartop helps define the space and the bar has put Goldstar beer on tap instead of Maccabi.
Perhaps the sweetest touch, and the most likely to please the customers, is the establishment's background music, which comes exclusively from vinyl records. Maybe that touch will persuade people to start calling the new kid on the block by its given name.
Port Said / Har Sinai 2
Teder (Frequency)
The folks behind Teder: Pop-up Radio Bar had originally intended to shift the location of this rad resto-bar from season to season. But thanks to Tel Aviv's heavy-handed bureaucracy and the winning location – also near the Great Synagogue, the tavern-on-the-go concept was scrubbed.
Patrons instead were blessed with two seasons of drinking under the open skies of Allenby Street. Today, at the beginning of its third season, Teder appears to be trying to reconnect with its original concept by splitting itself into two new locations, which are very remote indeed. The first is Teder Tokyo which, like its name suggests, is expected to open in Japan in the near future. The second is Teder Tel Aviv, whose existence is no less intriguing and whose location still remains top secret.
In two months' time, somewhere in downtown Tel Aviv, the adventurers of the new Teder will set up shop with the same throbbing heart beat, mandatory outdoor seating and thoroughly refreshing music selection as its forefather. Thirsty visitors can also expect a new offering of tasty bar nibbles and an artistic synergy that will keep us guessing all over again.

Before you visit the new Zinger, on the corner of Yehuda Halevi Street and Mazeh Street, it's important to know that this spot shares only two things in common with the old Zinger bar – name and address.
The old trend of a bar with obligatory outdoor seating that crowds the sidewalk has given way to indoor bars that inject the neighborhood with fun thanks to hooting, hollering and dancing. At Zinger there is a cute seating space, lit by a giant window that faces the actual bar and brings the focus back to where it should be: dispensing the tonics themselves. Zinger's old sofas are no more, revealing a wide expanse of elevated seating that wraps the welcoming, square bar in the center of the room.
The music is also fresh, with upbeat alternative rock giving a jolt of energy to the regulars. The new Zinger has only been up and running for a week but already the appeal seems universal. All sorts of clientele get a jovial, warm welcome.

The new Soda Bar
The disco ball that calls itself the Soda Bar began its days flung all the way out on Menachem Begin Road. Now it's looking for a bigger piece of the action so is being packed up and shipped to a new, more central location on Nahalat Binyamin.
Soda Bar, Take Two, as it is being called, is just a slightly smaller version of its bubbly big brother, and the new branch maintains the colorful, minimalist décor of the bar's earlier incarnation.
The establishment is housed in a single, rectangular room, one that for some reason reminds you of your parent's living room when you threw a party while they were out of town. The corner bar serves standard tipples as well as cocktails built on a Dr. Pepper base. There are seats all around and a DJ booth spinning everything from disco to techno. The room pulses with a crazy, multi-colored lighting scheme.
In some ways, Soda Bar is fighting sad-clown syndrome: It's bright and wild, but lacking any sense of humor. If there still are any hipsters left in the world, they can be found sitting by their self-conscious, ever-ironic selves at Soda Bar.
Yet not all is lost. The new incarnation has made a foothold with the locals, with loyal patrons arriving in the early evening and sipping in the Technicolor shadows until the wee hours.

Chechka
Chechka opened practically in secret, sneaking into the same building as Beeper Bar by many of the same owners. The two spots, connected by a passageway door, are separate establishments that provide a study in contrasts.
Beeper is all colors and warm welcomes, while Chechka is underground, dimly-lit and gruff as can be. It's only open weekends and for special events, when the emphasis is on music.
Chechka is long and narrow, with its slender walls traced by entrancing industrial designs. At one end sits a DJ booth and at the other, a wide open space that looks as if it might swallow its patrons. And with the stark lighting and design, the carefully curated tunes and the bar's location in an office building free of tired and cranky neighbors, getting lost in this bar might not be such a bad idea.
Chechka / Rothschild 28A
For as long as Tel Avivians can remember, the mega bars were situated in the city's tony north and center while the south of the city was left feeling dirty and ignored. But all of that changed when Merhav Yarkon (Yarkon District) and the Post Office arrived.
The Post Office opened six months ago, and expanded just five months later. The new spot in the bar's yard is aptly called Junk Yard. A former outdoor storage space has been reborn as a hot spot that is all Tel Aviv, but with a sweet injection of Berlin.
The requisite graffiti, swivel chairs and giant fresco of surfers are all here, as is the vintage automobile slowing rusting away at the end of the bar. The ground floor is classic, small and cozy, while the upper level offers a more expansive bar. Background music shifts from day to day, with freestyle spinning at the beginning of the evening that then blends in with the height of party that blasts out of the stereo from Post Office next door.
Junk Yard is like that high school girl we all knew, who always looked as if she had just thrown something on but in reality had spent three hours primping.
Junk Yard / Yehuda Halevi 46
With a super group like this, you can't go wrong. The quartet responsible for the new joint at 9 Rothschild Street is so cool that they ought to start a band.
Shlomi Zidan (Teder) brings in lightness. David Tort (Breakfast, The Cat and Dog) brings edge. Maoz Alonim and Itay Hargil (Habasta and Hameorav) are responsible for the menu. And at first glance, Café Europa, like its owners, is full of contradictions.
Café Europa is currently only open at night, but the owners hope to eventually operate it as a restaurant by day and a drinking establishment by night.
The first floor provides a light, summery atmosphere. Upstairs, it's more serious with a heavy, dramatic bar made of marble.
Café Europa was designed for the older clubgoer, the man or woman who has tired of dimly-lit basements but still wants a tipple and a nibble before calling it a night.
This consideration spills into the owner-designed playlist, as well, which goes from smooth ethnic grooves to Serge Gainsbourg and Tom Waits. But the jewel in this European crown is the menu. The gourmet menu spans the world – try to choose between the steak tartare, the shrimp pasties and the beet ravioli. And the cocktails? Divine sip after sweet, summery sip.
Café Europa / Rothschild 9B
Cookies and Cream Bar
In the stormy heart of Allenby Center, accessible through a side door, Cookies and Cream seems like a tasty little secret. At long last, thirsty Tel Aviv has a bar that focuses on what actually matters: the alcohol.
With more than 40 kinds of whiskey and tequila flowing as the house libation, Cookies and Cream is a place for people who like their drinks good, cold and stiff.
The bar boasts a warm atmosphere and precise lighting. You can do shots at the larger bar running the length of the entire room, or nurse your hooch with some privacy at the smaller, more intimate bar. As is expected in a place free of pretension, Cookies and Cream offers a rich, varied and simple menu. The music runs from funk to soul to rock and roll, and if you behave very nicely, you might even catch a Mizrahi dance party at the end of the night. The crowd is older, around 30-plus. Hurry on over, because come winter time this joint won't have an empty seat.
Cookies and Cream Bar / Allenby 99
Fans of the megabars at the Tel Aviv Port now have yet another massive space to lose themselves in. Built on the ruins of the former Irish pub Arthur, Pineapple Express is massive, handsomely furnished, close to the sea and under the open sky. It is a place for sultry, beautiful young things and the guys who buy their drinks.
By day, this swinging spot is an Italian restaurant. But at 6 p.m., as the sun begins to slide down and the first wave of clubbers – mostly tourists – make their way in the door, the cava starts to flow and the rhythm begins to change. In the wee hours, the second wave hits, with hardcore lushes drinking the bar dry and shimmying away in the club's inner space.
Music is steady from night to day, but the age of the crowd can change in a blink. DJ Tomer Maizner handles the tunes, which run from happy mainstream to American hip hop styles to pop and dance.
Pineapple Express / Hangar 23, Tel Aviv Port
Paulina Stash Bar
The good news is that Ofer Shechter, the Israeli entertainment darling, has opened a bar. The better news is that it's not the main reason to head over.
Together with fixtures from Israel's night owl scene, including Gal Shor (Ilka bar), Nir Cohen (VIP Room), and Gil Asheroff (Temple Bar), as well as the steady feminine touch of Hagit Bornstein, who handles the menu and art, Paulina Stash appeals to all kinds of crowds. It is a bar for everyone, and it never gets lost or loses its edge.
The building is said to be the first edifice ever constructed in Tel Aviv. It is split in two, divided into bar-and-barbecue Paulina on one side, and her evil twin Stash, with dim lighting, a smoking permit and an alley view.
This haven for split personalities is outfitted in retro chic décor, with modern elements juxtaposed against the lovely old construction of the building. The result. A bar that offers everything you could want, and more.
Check out the slightly twisted artwork, which rotates each month. The music is funk and Balkan, and the menu, like Ms. Stash's mood, changes every day.
Paulina Stash Bar / Herzl 2
Barbara Frye
A new bar has risen from the ruins of the Bukowski Bar, and this time around, she's a lady.
Barbara Frye is named for Bukowski's first wife, and she is as accommodating as a loving Jewish mother. The space has a big, friendly bar, high tables, sofas for a lounging and a great terrace. It's everything you could ask for when looking for a stellar night out.
The drink selection is extension and beautifully done – you could get a hangover just from reading the menu. Are you famished? Dieting? Just in the mood for a snack? No matter what your state when you walk in the door, Barbara can cook up something to hit the spot.
The TVs show sports games to please the men, but the sound is kept on mute, to the joy of the ladies. Music is mainstream but in a good way, and the bar is often known to host the occasional afternoon party.
There are specials on pitchers of beer and chasers (for example, 1.8 liters and four chases for NIS 144), and chasers at NIS 10 each.
Barbara Frye / Frishman 39
Alla Rampa
South Tel Aviv seems trapped between two worlds. It's known as a place suffering from crime and illegal immigrants, but at the same time, as the nexus of Tel Aviv's emerging culture and nightlife. Now, the freshest new player in the neighborhood has joined the effort to overhaul this neighborhood's reputation.
All Rampa opened just last week, staring down the skeptics with a big smile and a sweet, romantic air. Omri Barel (of Beit Habatim) and David Beinart (of Chef) spent two years fantasizing about this little spot, and now, with vision and imagination, have overhauled a former lottery-ticket joint on a godforsaken plot into a restaurant/bar that is worth the trek.
Alla Rampa was built by hand, and in between the bricks and mortar, there is plenty of love and invention. Barel and Beinart installed a beckoning outdoor seating area, an inner sanctum with a bar, an open kitchen and a DJ area. All of this is accented by carefully chosen art.
Alla Rampa is, like as its name suggests, built on a kind of ramp. It is also in the middle of nowhere. But its surroundings refine, rather than detract from, the experience, allowing patrons to enjoy the spot based on its own merits rather than as one puzzle piece in a busy neighborhood. It also allows the DJ to turn that music up, up, up.
The menu is innovative and exciting. From edgy opportunities to complete meals, the items are trusted classics with a twist. Parties spill out on to the street and into the night, and hopefully, as business continues to boom, also into the day.
Alla Rampa / Ha'Amal 21
Yasu is opening soon, and when it does, it will be a cool refreshing drink in the midst of the staid lukewarm offerings of Tel Aviv's many bars. Yasu was designed as an ode to summer, with a big central bar, a massive terrace offering views of the sea and walls a décor of blue and turquoise. Call it a western tavern with a Middle Eastern twist.
Yaso / HaYarkon 105
Joselito – also known as proprietor José Ramon, a Spaniard who fell in love with Israel – has, along with his business partners Barak Ettinger and Tomer Moore (Café Jeremiah and Haradio), taken over one of the sweetest spots in the city. As one might expect, Joselito is Spanish style, bringing together a Barcelona Catalan menu and live performances of Spanish music.

The post Mumbrella360 Asia returns – 'call for sessions' opens and super earlybird tickets go on sale appeared first on Mumbrella Asia.


BACKGROUND: Circulating free DNA sequencing (cfDNA-Seq) can portray cancer genome landscapes, but highly sensitive and specific technologies are necessary to accurately detect mutations with often low variant frequencies. METHODS: We developed a customizable hybrid-capture cfDNA-Seq technology using off-the-shelf molecular barcodes and a novel duplex DNA molecule identification tool for enhanced error correction. RESULTS: Modeling based on cfDNA yields from 58 patients showed that this technology, requiring 25 ng of cfDNA, could be applied to >95% of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). cfDNA-Seq of a 32-gene, 163.3-kbp target region detected 100% of single-nucleotide variants, with 0.15% variant frequency in spike-in experiments. Molecular barcode error correction reduced false-positive mutation calls by 97.5%. In 28 consecutively analyzed patients with mCRC, 80 out of 91 mutations previously detected by tumor tissue sequencing were called in the cfDNA. Call rates were similar for point mutations and indels. cfDNA-Seq identified typical mCRC driver mutations in patients in whom biopsy sequencing had failed or did not include key mCRC driver genes. Mutations only called in cfDNA but undetectable in matched biopsies included a subclonal resistance driver mutation to anti-EGFR antibod-ies in KRAS, parallel evolution of multiple PIK3CA mutations in 2 cases, and TP53 mutations originating from clonal hematopoiesis. Furthermore, cfDNA-Seq off-target read analysis allowed simultaneous genome-wide copy number profile reconstruction in 20 of 28 cases. Copy number profiles were validated by low-coverage whole-genome sequencing. CONCLUSIONS: This error-corrected, ultradeep cfDNA-Seq technology with a customizable target region and publicly available bioinformatics tools enables broad insights into cancer genomes and evolution.

• elan •
Pronunciation: ê-læn • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass
Meaning: 1. Vigorous enthusiasm, passionate commitment to an undertaking, ardor, zeal. 2. Grace and flair, impressive style for some undertaking.
Notes: If you wish to add a bit of elan to your writing, put a cap on the E in this word, élan, and use the French pronunciation. The French spelling and pronunciation are more prevalent in the US while the adapted spelling (without the cap) is more widespread elsewhere in the English-speaking world. English didn't bring over any related words from French nor has it created any on its own since.
In Play: The French origin of this word lends an overtone of flair and stylishness to its basic meaning: "William Arami pursued Marian Tipe with such élan that two or three times she almost accepted his proposals." In fact, the overtone is fast becoming a separate meaning on its own: "Francesca lilted down the stairs in her new evening dress with the greatest of élan, then slipped on the carpet and delighted her guests even more with a splendiferous pratfall."
Word History: Today's Good Word comes from French élan, the noun from élancer "to rush, dart" from e- "out" + lancer "to throw a lance". The prefix é- is the French remnant of Latin ex "out (of)", and the root comes from Latin lanceare "to throw a lance, from lancea "lance". Lancea itself was probably borrowed by Latin from Celtic, but we don't know where Celtic got it, so the trail ends there. By the Middle English period, though, the English variant was spelled launce, which led to its becoming launch. No, Sir Lancelot was not named for his weapon. His name comes from the Old High Germanic word for "land", landzo, plus two old diminutive suffixes -el (still in use in southern Germany) and -ot.
Next Word: elate
Previous Word: eke

— The Librarian's Guide to Negotiation, Winning Strategies for the Digital Age, by Beth Ashmore, Jill E. Grogg and Jeff Weddle
"Harris draws from her unique experience as the owner of Copyrightlaws.com; she is not a librarian but has built a career demystifying copyright law and frequently works with libraries and other information services. She presents an unbiased, objective account of the licensing process. Throughout the guide, Harris reminds readers that a license must benefit both the library and the information provider. She instructs readers on the art of nonaggressive, rational negotiation, which can result in a win-win outcome for the licenser and the licensee: both parties want to 'enter into a relationship in which the information provider is fairly compensated for the use of its electronic content while the [library has] the right to use that content in a manner necessary for [its] situation.' It is necessary to understand and accommodate the needs of both parties, and Harris has the vantage point to see the process from both sides. […]
"The guide provides a plain-English introduction to digital licensing and can walk inexperienced librarians through the process of drafting, organizing, and negotiating according to patrons' needs. Experienced readers may draw insight from certain portions of the book, specifically in regards to changing technologies, such as text and data mining, interlibrary loan, open access, and archiving and perpetual access. Supervisors may also find the book to be a useful tool when drafting language that will be used to teach others about the licensing process, i.e., the language provided in the sample licensing policy. Harris claims that 'keeping it simple is the premise of this book,' and Licensing Digital Content: A Practical Guide for Librarians fulfills this statement."

> Producing Breton whisky
- The ingredients
- Malting
- Grinding and brewing
- Fermentation
- Distillation
- Ageing
The Warenghem Distillery is fortunate to be located on a spring: the asset known as Rest Avel (the wind's dwelling). By drilling deeper than 100 metres deep, we draw pure and crystal clear water, very low in limestone, that has been filtered for years by the granite of the Breton coast.
The cereals
We use two types of cereals:
- Malted barley for Armorik single malts, made in France.
- Wheat for blended whiskies, Brittany origin.
Malting
The barley that we use must be malted before being delivered to the distillery. This was done by the distilleries themselves in the past but the activity is now entrusted to barley producers and malting plants.
This involves getting the barley to germinate by moistening it, then letting it germinate before drying the barley. This primordial step prepares the seeds for brewing. During germination, the barley seed indeed produces enzymes that will transform the starch into sugar during brewing.
Grinding and brewing
We then grind the malt in a mill to obtain a rough flour called grist. The grinding must be very specific to enable the best possible brewing; too much flour and lumps will form; too much husk and the sugar will not be properly extracted.
The grist is mixed with water during the brewing. The water and grist must be mixed at a temperature of about 63°C. This temperature indeed allows the optimum transformation of starch into sugar under the action of the malt enzymes.
We then collect the wort (sugary liquid resulting from the brewing of water/cereals). The mash kettle has a perforated base that lets the wort flow while retaining the solid residues that are given to farmers for feeding cattle.
We transfer the wort to fermentation tanks called "washbacks". We add yeast, developed specifically for the needs of the whisky, to initiate fermentation.
Fermentation periods last between 3 and 4 days at the distillery. The action of yeasts transforms the sugar into alcohol and heat while developing a range of flavours that make up the character of the future whisky. The liquid obtained, the wash, titrated at 8 to 10% Vol.
We use Scottish copper stills, or pot stills, specially designed to develop the specific flavours of Armorik. The wash is heated in a first still (the wash still) to be distilled for the first time.
The alcohol rises in vapours, with the cooler alcohol being condensed again in the head before being vaporised again, this is the rectification process. The vapours then move through the condensers to become liquid again.
The second distillation is carried out the next day in a smaller still (spirit still). From this distillation, we only keep the middle cut where the distillate has the richest and purest aromas. The heads, first fractions of the distillation, and the tails, end of distillation fractions, are separated to be distilled again subsequently.
This double distillation process enables us to concentrate the alcohol and aromas to obtain a titrated liquid of more than 70% Vol.
After a first reduction in water, the distillate is brought to 63% alcohol to be placed in oak casks for ageing. We use different types of casks:
- old bourbon casks (whisky produced in the United States) that add mildness while respecting the fruity character of our distillate;
- old sherry casks (or sherry oloroso, produced in Spain) that provide warm fruit and spice notes;
- Brittany oak casks: thanks to a 10 year partnership with ONF and the last cooper in Brittany, Jean Baptiste Le Floc'h at Douarnenez, we have obtained oak casks made from the trees of the Cranou and Brocéliande forests. These casks bring their natural sweetness and delicate woody notes.
Gaseous exchanges are produced with the oak throughout the ageing process. Hence, each climate, each region, lends its typical character to the whisky. In Brittany, temperatures are more clement than in Scotland and favour more rapid ageing. Around 3.5% of the cask evaporates every year. This percentage is call the "Angels' share "
Our Cellar Master then selects the casks ready to be bottled. The assembly stage then begins. Different casks, each with their own different aromas, must then be blended to achieve the most balanced whisky possible. After a final dilution in water, the whisky is ready to be bottled.

Here's Why Dubliners Should Care About a Mayo Natural Gas Field
Andy Storey - DublinInquirer
Erris, County Mayo, is a long way from Dublin. But events there have huge economic significance for the country as a whole, including the capital city.
Gas is finally flowing through the controversial pipeline in Erris, bringing raw gas ashore from the Corrib field for refining. Shell, the project leader, is bragging about its success. At peak production, it is expected that the field will produce the equivalent of 45,000 barrels of oil per day.
But already local people are alarmed by intense levels of gas flaring – burning off flammable gas and potentially producing dangerous emissions – on New Year's Eve, confirming many residents in their long held doubts about the safety of the project.
The various issues around the project include not just health and safety, but also environmental protection, human rights abuses, and the integrity of the planning process. All are important and have been well documented elsewhere.
But, from the point of view of the country as a whole, isn't the fact that exchequer returns, energy security and jobs are all being boosted an overwhelming economic positive?
Well, it might be – if all those things were actually going to happen. A booklet – Liquid Assets – published by the campaign group Shell to Sea in 2012 meticulously documents how limited are the gains Ireland as a whole will accrue from the project and from any future oil or gas discoveries.

Gas flaring at Corrib plant 'frightening', says resident
[Shell to Sea] See the video of the flaring here
Residents living close to the Corrib gas plant in north Mayo have expressed alarm over the intensity of gas flaring during New Year's Eve.

Shell E&P Ireland has said the flaring is "entirely normal" as part of the procedure where first gas is released to shore from the field, 83km off the coast.
The company has said local residents have been advised that flaring will take place "intermittently" over the next few days, following the switch-on of the plant after the final operating consent for the project was issued by Minister for Energy Alex White on December 29th.
Flaring or burning off of flammable gas is activated if there is a pressure rise within the plant, or a confirmed fire or gas release.

Minister White's Christmas Message to the People of Mayo & the High Court
Shelver - Indymedia
White gives High Court the two-fingered salute
White uses Christmas to sign off on Corrib gas despite pending judicial review of EPA licence.
Minister White's Christmas message to the High Court & the people of Mayo
www.indymedia.ie/article/105647
Press Release: Desperate measures for a desperate Corrib project
-- Minister White slips consent to Shell during Christmas period --
Shell to Sea have called the granting by Alex White of consent to operate the Corrib Gas pipeline - desperate and disgraceful. Permission was granted despite Shell's EPA consent to operate the Corrib Gas refinery currently being admitted for hearing before the High Court. [1]
Shell to Sea is of the view that Shell possibly had contractual obligations which required that Corrib gas flow before end 2015 so they once again snapped their fingers at government to do the needful - in this instance the government of 'law and order' has shown itself no different to Fianna Fáil.
Spokesperson Terence Conway stated "Over the years campaigners have been constantly lectured by politicians about the need to respect the laws of the land and courts, but again with Corrib we are seeing there is one law for them; another law for us."
Glór Na hAoise –Triple CD of music and words inspired by Shell to Sea
Albums features Damien Dempsey, John Spillane, Leo moran, and Frances Black
OVER THE past decade the Shell To Sea protest campaign against the Corrib Gas project in North Mayo has not only made headlines in Ireland but around the world. In that time numerous artists - musicians, authors and poets - have lent their support to the campaign with an array of songs and writings that tell the stories of the issues and personalities involved with great eloquence and power.
Glór na hAoise is a newly released triple-CD which brings together for the first time all the music and poetry created in solidarity with the people of north Mayo and charting the story of a grassroots campaign and a global oil giant, Royal Dutch Shell. Artists such as John Spillane, Jinx Lennon and John Hoban sketch the scenario which unfolded as local people asked for their concerns to be addressed but were met first with spin and slander and later with the baton, the jackboot, and the prison cell.

Q: Spring Cloud - No thread-bound request found I have a flow where on startup, my application must make an HTTP call to a remote server. I am doing so using a RestTemplate, injected into a bean. Here is an example:
package com.example;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Profile;
import org.springframework.context.event.ContextRefreshedEvent;
import org.springframework.context.event.EventListener;
import org.springframework.http.HttpMethod;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableOAuth2Client;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableResourceServer;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestOperations;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableOAuth2Client
public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Main.class, args);
    }

    @Component
    @Profile({"default", "development"})
    protected static class DBInit {

        @Autowired
        private RestOperations restOperations;

        @EventListener(ContextRefreshedEvent.class)
        private void doWork(){
            final ResponseEntity<String> response =
                    restOperations.exchange("http://www.google.com", HttpMethod.GET, null, String.class);
            System.out.println(response.getStatusCode());
        }
    }

}

However, whenever this code runs, I get this stack trace and the application fails to start:
 org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'scopedTarget.oauth2ClientContext': Scope 'session' is not active for the current thread; consider defining a scoped proxy for this bean if you intend to refer to it from a singleton; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread? If you are actually operating within a web request and still receive this message, your code is probably running outside of DispatcherServlet/DispatcherPortlet: In this case, use RequestContextListener or RequestContextFilter to expose the current request.
