I was more interested in the Sim City and Rollercoaster Tycoon games back in the day, so I didn't actually play Theme Hospital until a few months ago. I found it quirky and entertaining, but without nostalgia glasses, it didn't hold my attention for long, and I wondered what a modern remake of it might be like. Well, here we are. Two Point Hospital manages to faithfully recreate the feeling of Theme Hospital, while bringing the genre into the modern age.
The gameplay loop is pretty simple at first glance. Patients with a variety of ailments come into your hospital where you are expected to have a reception area waiting for them, and soon they are on their way through what could very well become a lengthy series of appointments with various doctors and nurses performing every kind of diagnosis imaginable and hopefully, eventually, a treatment will be applied that leads to a cure. Along the way patients have various needs that need attending, not unlike The Sims, including bathroom, food, water, boredom, cleanliness and comfort. Meeting all these needs requires persistent placement of amenities throughout the hospital, and there is some depth to the strategy of their placement.
Things become complicated as the number of ailments increases and the need for additional facilities becomes greater. The player not only needs to build each facility by hand, but also has to staff them. Managing staff becomes complicated as every doctor, nurse, assistant and janitor has their own skills and needs. They also have to take breaks, so peppering break rooms throughout your hospital and hiring additional seemingly redundant staff becomes absolutely essential to preventing your offices from becoming unstaffed. Staff can also be trained to learn new skills, but have a limited number of skill slots, so it may seem like a good idea to hire that doctor who has 5 unique skills until you realize it might make more sense to hire a doctor with 1 skill, and then build upon that skill 4 times rather than hiring a jack of all trades.
Once your hospital is up and running you will certainly enjoying watching the people meander about with their bizarre afflictions, which include a wide variety of fantastic diseases such as Mime Crisis, Mock Star and Potty Mouth. It's always fun to see a person suffering from Jest Infection get dehumorified so that he or she no longer resembles a clown.
Two Point Hospital constantly offers the player various challenges, such as accepting a large number of patients all suffering from the same ailment, which can stretch your hospitals' resources to their limits. When things get out of control, they really get out of control, with everyone and their mom vomiting all over the floor and ghosts of dead patients chasing the living around the sick. Recovering from such chaos is difficult, but not impossible. Assuming you're not broke (and even if you are you can take a loan), hire a bunch of extra janitors and figure out which lines are too long and build additional facilities to meet demand. With any luck things will calm down and you can get back on track.
Features unlock slowly in Two Point Hospital as you go from stage to stage. Eventually you have to start dealing with hot and cold climates, natural disasters, advertising campaigns and more. The problem is that I found myself a bit bored before I could get through all of the levels to unlock everything.
Though the main gameplay loop is fun, and made better by some really hilarious and charming character animation, it doesn't hide the fact that a lot of what you do in Two Point Hospital is recreate the same rooms over and over. The most notorious example of this is the General Practitioner's office. If you play the game by constantly responding to patient demand, you will quickly notice lines in front of the GP's office, and find yourself building more and more of them. By the time you've placed your 5th GP's office in a single hospital, including hand-placing every door, chair, desk, lamp, and even artwork for the walls, you might be a bit tired of doing it. Then as you realize you have to do this again and again for every stage on the map, things just get a bit old. Templates would have gone a long way here.
And so, after getting 3 stars in 6 different hospitals over the course of nearly 15 hours and facing the big empty building that started the next level, I had had enough. My time in Two Point Hospital was enjoyable, but the fun didn't quite last for the long term. Nevertheless, I am thrilled that Two Point Studios decided to make this game, as it is without a doubt the definitive game of this genre. I'm sure that fans that did play Theme Hospital back in the day will nod approvingly while playing this game, especially while listening to the announcements played on the loud speaker, which really feel like they could have been pulled right out of 1997. I very much look forward to future projects from Two Point Studios!
Ari played 15 hours of Two Point Hospital, completing 6 stages. He received a copy of the game for review purposes from SEGA.
I played Prison Architect for a while and need a new business simulation fix. This looks like it could hit the spot! In some respects, the lack of long-term appeal isn't a big deal for me, because I have a notoriously short attention span for games like this.

Judge dismisses lawsuit against San Juan County in case involving detective having sex with witness

Seattle Times staff reporter
A federal judge has thrown out a civil-rights lawsuit filed against San Juan County law enforcement officials by an internationally recognized scientist and professor who claimed his conviction resulted from a conspiracy involving a former sheriff's detective who was having a secret sexual relationship with the alleged victim.
U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman, in a 17-page order issued late Wednesday, ruled the deputy — who has since left the San Juan County Sheriff's Office — is immune from liability under the doctrine of "qualified immunity," even if what Dr. Gerald Grellet-Tinner alleged is true.
Grellet-Tinner, a renowned paleobiologist who had retired to Orcas Island to care for his ailing son, had claimed former detective Stephen Parker repeatedly violated his civil rights by becoming sexually involved with a 19-year-old student at Orcas Island High School. She accused Grellet-Tinner in 2015 of having sex with her while she was his assistant at the school, where he was teaching chemistry and advanced placement biology to make money.
Based on Parker's investigation, Grellet-Tinner in 2016 was convicted by a jury of two counts of first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor under a Washington law that makes it a crime for a school employee to have sex with an enrolled student under 21 years of age, if the employee is more than 60 months older than the student. He faced more than a decade in prison and having to register as a sex offender. Grellet-Tinner was 59 years old when the incident allegedly occurred.
According to court documents and internal investigation documents, while Grellet-Tinner was in jail awaiting sentencing, the detective in the case was involved in a sexual relationship with the woman.
Nick Power, Grellet-Tinner's civil attorney, said he was disappointed in the judge's decision and is talking to his client about challenging Pechman's order in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
After the detective's purported indiscretion was revealed, a judge threw out Grellet-Tinner's convictions as a "miscarriage of justice." Later, a county witness-protection advocate said Parker told her the young woman "set people up" — a statement that was never relayed to prosecutors and Grellet-Tinner's attorney until after his conviction, according to court documents.
Grellet-Tinner, a Ph.D. who once taught at UCLA and was credited with discovering how a species of dinosaurs incubated their eggs near volcanic vents, claims in his lawsuit that his reputation was destroyed by the ordeal.
The Seattle Times detailed the events in a story published in April 2018.
Grellet-Tinner has denied any sexual relationship with the woman, who was a Mexican citizen living in the U.S. without legal permission. He alleges in the lawsuit that Parker had promised her a crime-victim's "U-visa" to stay in the U.S. A later investigation by an outside law enforcement agency revealed that the detective had sexual relations with her at least five times while Grellet-Tinner was in jail awaiting sentencing.
In her decision, Judge Pechman said Grellet-Tinner failed to show any connection between Parker and the woman before he was accused, casting doubt on the existence of a conspiracy.
"If [the woman] was lying about having sex with [Grellet-Tinner], the lie predates her meeting defendant Parker by a matter of weeks; therefore the existence of a relationship between [the woman] and … Parker has no relevance" to Grellet-Tinner's defense, she wrote.
Parker left the sheriff's office after an outside investigation concluded he had met and had sex with the woman several times, including in his patrol vehicle. Parker denied ever having had a relationship with the woman.

A small selection of references from our many satisfied clients.
Here's a small selection of what some of our many satisfied clients have to say about our professional workmanship.
"We have worked with Kevin on various projects (extension/several renovations) and have always been delighted with his work. He has a fabulous eye for detail and is a pleasure to have around. We will certainly use Kevin on future projects and would not hesitate to recommend him."
"We are very pleased with the attention to detail and the efficient way the team worked; the restoration of this classic 1960's property is everything we wanted."
"Having previously lived in Blockley for many years, we were aware of several jobs that Kevin had successfully carried out in the area. So when it came to needing a builder to renovate our new cottage, we had no hesitation on calling upon his services. The work was completed on time and budget and completely to our satisfaction."
"Over the years we've used a host of builders for various jobs, but Kevin and the team stand out to be the very best! I cannot begin to tell you how delighted we are not only with the excellent work they did but the way in which the work was carried out. From start to finish the project was well managed and there was a smooth continuity of work; never was I left wondering "where are the builders today?" which I think is a rarity!
To have such a large project go without a hitch was just wonderful. It all felt so daunting at first - but to have builders on site who never said "We have a problem" and who only ever got on with the job and resolved any issues meant that we didn't suffer with any of the stress that would usually come with a major project.
The end result is fantastic! The quality of the build has been noted by everyone who has seen it. I just wish I had known of Kevin and the team years ago! If you're looking for a high-quality build by experienced and professional tradesmen then look no further!"
"What can we say, Kevin? You were the backbone of the team and your professional approach shines through in our lovely new home. We are going to miss you! Thank you for everything.
Nearly three years on and the house is still our dream home. Every detail is so well-crafted that we've had no teething problems. Throughout the process we could rely on you to do the most professional job. If ever we build a house again, you'll be getting a call!"

Demonetisation is a careless implementation; Roll-back the decision immediately – Afsar Kodlipet SDPI
New Delhi, 17 Nov 2016: A massive protest demonstration was organized in front of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Nrupatunga Road, Bangalore, wherein the protesters were detained and released later. The demonstration was jointly organized by several socio-political organizations condemning and demanding immediate rollback of the Modi led government's move of demonetization.
Slamming the demonetization step by Modi government, renowned rights activist and CPI(ML) leader Senior Advocate Balan questioned if the Modi Govt. can guarantee that the government servants will stop demanding bribes? How this demonetization step will stop corruption?
An Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader came on heavily on the NDA Government questioning on how the demonetization will stop generation of new black money in (recent) future.
Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) State Secretary Afsar Kodlipete said, the demonetization is an absolute careless implementation which has led to the death of innocents in hospitals, farmers unable to buy seeds and fertilizers, affected business transactions of street vendors, small shops/businesses as the customers could not pay change. Afsar Kodlipet termed the demonetization nothing but a punishment to the innocent common people of the country for no fault of theirs.
Protesters demanding for an immediate rollback of the Demonetization decision at RBI Bangalore
Prominent rights activist Narsimha Murthy urged the government for faster issuance of the Rs. 500/- notes and extend the deadline to submit the old notes. He demanded that the names of Swiss bank holders and loan defaulters in Public Sector undertaking banks be publicized forthwith, begin their prosecution and recover the black money.
An activist representing Swaraj Abhiyan thundered as to why the government doesn't bring a strong Lokpal and strengthen the CVC. He urged for freeing the CBI from the clutches of the government so as to give the investigation agency a free hand. He alleged that the government seems to be protecting the corrupt babus by introducing amendments recently in the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The police detained several leaders protesting outside the RBI at Nrupatunga road and were released later.
The organizations participated in the protest demonstration were Communist Party of India (CPI-ML), Aam Aadmi Party, Swaraj Abhiyan, National Hawkers Federation, Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), Garment and Textile Workers Union, National Confederation of Human Rights Organizations (NCHRO), New Socialist Alternative, Fascist Virodhi Okkuta, May 17 Movement, Karnataka Sangolli Rayanna Yuvakara Vedike, Karnataka Bahujana Kranti Dala, Karnataka Tamil Makkal Ilayakkam and Tamil Solidarity.

Q: Passing nullable guid to stored procedure When I pass nullable guid parameter to stored procedure in my c# code below. I am getting exception:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Incorrect syntax near
  '@customerGuid'.

var userNameSqlParam = new SqlParameter
{
    ParameterName = "userName",
    Value = userName,
    DbType = DbType.String
};

var customerGuidSqlParam = new SqlParameter
{
    ParameterName = "customerGuid",
    Value = customerGuid,
    DbType = DbType.Guid
};

var rows = _dbContext.Database
    .SqlQuery<CurrentUserContextWithoutCustomer>
        ("EXEC [dbo].[GetCurrentUserContext] @userName @customerGuid",
        userNameSqlParam, customerGuidSqlParam)
    .ToList();

So when I look by SQL Profiler what was called I get
exec sp_executesql
N'EXEC [dbo].[GetCurrentUserContext] @userName @customerGuid',
N'@userName nvarchar(4),@customerGuid uniqueidentifier',
@userName=N'gir1',@customerGuid=default

I see default on the end of query. It generates problem.
There is header of stored procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetCurrentUserContext]
    @userName nvarchar(100),
    @customerGuid uniqueidentifier
AS

How can I pass nullable guid to sql as stored procedure parameter.

A: First of all you should send a DBNull.Value instead of null
var customerGuidSqlParam = new SqlParameter
{
    ParameterName = "customerGuid",
    Value = (object)customerGuid ?? (object)DBNull.Value,
    DbType = DbType.Guid
};

and you have missed a comma in your query.
var rows = _dbContext.Database
    .SqlQuery<CurrentUserContextWithoutCustomer>
        ("EXEC [dbo].[GetCurrentUserContext] @userName, @customerGuid",
        userNameSqlParam, customerGuidSqlParam)
    .ToList();

A: In your stored procedure set the default value to null
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetCurrentUserContext]
    @userName nvarchar(100),
    @customerGuid uniqueidentifier = NULL
AS

A: you can put this in your C# end
Value = customerGuid == null ? (object)DBNull.Value : customerGuid.Value

and at stored procedure end as suggested from the earlier answer:

@customerGuid uniqueidentifier = NULL

When there is null, it will pass null. if there is value you will get it in @customerGuid param.

Fidelitone Logistics, a third-party logistics provider (3PL), and TZA, a supply chain consulting and labor management software firm, are nearing completion of a customer-specific site performance improvement program benefitting Fidelitone's distribution operations.
The initiative to date has produced standards and early documentation of positive results for Fidelitone, including better workforce utilization, increased efficiencies and the development of a baseline to measure future distribution center (DC) performance.
TZA estimates the program will net productivity improvement gains at Fidelitone ranging from 15 to 20%.
Fidelitone is implementing most elements of TZA's labor management program. They include TZA's ProTrack Warehouse Labor Management System with XYZ mapping, standards development and validation, training, a change management program and incentives. Fidelitone managers and distribution center employees are active in the initiative.
"We are looking at labor utilization, overall efficiency, the reduction of manual systems and the introduction of precise performance measurement against goals, among other initiatives," explains Chuck Perry, Fidelitone's VP of business solutions and operations. The company has already seen initial strong results from the joint project. The software application in particular will give Fidelitone's DC managers the ability to automate dynamic labor planning.
ProTrack Warehouse calculates multi-variable discreet standards, offers a labor planning and forecasting module, tracks and reports errors by type and by individual, and provides alerts for out-of-tolerance performance. The application also calculates incentive pay based on multiple factors and time frames, automatically manages discipline policies and recognizes employees for their performance achievements. Additionally, managers are provided with dynamic ad hoc reporting which gauges operational performance at any level.

California Man Gets Sued After Trying To Trademark Bully A Theme Park
Andrei Mincov's commentary on the original article
The weaker the trademark and the less similar the alleged infringing brand, the more likely you will be described as a trademark bully—and rightfully so. If you have a strong trademark and the alleged infringer is using a very similar brand for very similar products and services, you have an open-and-shut case on your hands. If you have a strong trademark but the alleged infringer is using a less similar brand for less similar products and services, you will start hearing all sorts for "David and Goliath" trademark bully stories. If you have a weak brand and the alleged infringer is using a very similar brand for very similar products and services, people will just ridicule your brand and question how in the world you managed to trademark it. And if you have a weak trademark and the alleged infringer is using a less similar brand for less similar products and services, then you get crucified. The moral of the story: pick your battles when you have a relatively weak brand.

Prince, Again
You know, I just didn't want this one to be an overdose. I knew it was; I knew it as soon as the autopsy was over and no one came out and said words like "heart attack" or "brain aneurysm." I knew it as soon as the rumor mill started generating stories about save shots and long-term hip problems and addiction specialists. I knew it and I hated it.
I still do.
And I still hoped against all hope that it wasn't an overdose.
With the toxicology reports in, we now know without a doubt that an accidental overdose killed Prince. It just seems so. . . ordinary. Musicians die of overdoses all the time. Maybe I didn't want it to be true because of the kind of artist Prince was. He was so intensely creative, so exuberant, so different. Prince was bigger than life, and this news of his death is so damn small. So yeah, even though I knew this was coming, it hurts just a little more than it should. We should be comforted knowing the cause of his death. Instead, I feel like the Universe has done Prince an injustice, making this supernova shooting star all too human with all the accompanying frailties.

I'm just sad that he's gone, but I know he's cool, wherever he is. I love him to eternity. But as you can imagine, this kind of life that he led takes its toll. He'll always be a "supernova" in my book. Hell, NASA named a purple nebula after him.
NASA knows a star when they see one. He'll always be that and more to me, too.
Must say I'm in tears watching this video.
It's so jarring to see that young man in command of the world and know that his spirit is gone from this plane.
themusicianmark
It's very sad indeed. A true legend and such a talented musician. Respectfully, on the note of opiates they are often to used to channel a creative energy and to improve ones artistic ability. This can be seen in history from poets to writers, and from musicians to painters.
I read somewhere once that musicians liked to use heroin (one of the worst opiates) because it made them feel safe; that's an opinion to be sure, but it gives some kind of insight into the type of mind that seeks drugs like this. Regardless, I think Prince only used the drugs he used to treat medical conditions and pain, and any addiction and his accidental death were the hazardous results of this.

Real estate investors zero in on the fundamentals in UK property markets in 2019 due to Brexit uncertainty
It is likely to be a year when real estate investors zero in on the fundamentals of supply and demand in UK property market to support secure income streams, according to a new report.
They will need to put greater reliance on rental growth to deliver capital appreciation at a time when markets are coping with the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, says the trend forecast from real estate firm Savills.
It expects capital growth to account for just 30% of total returns across all UK property for the period 2019 to 2023, down from its 40% forecast in 2018, and below the average 55% share over the past 10 years, while income returns climb to 70% of total return.
This is based on the assumption that the UK does leave the European Union, but that uncertainty will remain in the market in the medium term, and that interest rates rise gradually rise up to 2023.
In the residential sector, Savills expects a continued squeeze on the buy to let mortgage market, with cash rich private investors continuing to shift their focus to markets in the Midlands and the North in search of higher yields and the better capital growth prospects that exist at this point in the housing market cycle.
Savills says that momentum in the Build to Rent sector is set to increase more widely across the country. Greater familiarity with the sector among policy makers, planners and developers is expected to combine with growing recognition by investors of the ability to deliver competitive income returns by operating at scale.
According to Savills, the political desire to substantially increase house building across a wider range of types and tenures is forecast to present more opportunities to bring forward residential development land through the planning system, underpinning values across a range of asset classes.
Indeed, small and medium sized sites are expected to best placed to tap in to demand an increasingly diverse range of developers, less dominated by the major house builders.
Meanwhile, businesses that can be diversified and future proofed offer value in the rural sector, according to Savills. Estates in south east England offer the greatest opportunity for income returns, due to the potential to diversify into a greater number of residential and commercial uses than those in other parts of the UK.
Good quality land and certain livestock enterprises, where productivity is strong and aligned with market demand, should also be resilient to the evolving policy and trade environment and therefore be an attractive pick, the report also says.
Urban logistics sits at the top of the Savills league table for the second year in a row for having the highest forecast annualised returns over the next five years at 10%, as the sector continues to attract significant investment in the face of strong rental growth.
But for commercial investors seeking higher returns, Savills suggests that new London office development opportunities coming to the market in the next 12 months could be a wise move, given forecasts that the city is set to suffer a severe undersupply of Grade A office space beyond 2021.
A counter cyclical move into retail, where good assets may be available at a discount as part of wider repricing in the sector, could also be a smart move for opportunistic buyers.
Chief executive officer of Savills UK and Europe, James Sparrow said as they navigate an era of widespread uncertainty, real estate investors need to focus more on the long term drivers of investment success to produce income return while capital growth treads water, rather than reacting to short term trends.

Who doesn't like a hands-free faucet for a bathroom, especially if it is a public one? Touchless faucets are used in commercial bathrooms for their ease of use and hygienic aspect. They are not as big as the ones used in kitchens though.
Sloan is a company with a large history in the plumbing industry. Established by William Elvis Sloan in 1906 in Chicago this company's first product was Royal Flushometer (They invented the flushometer).
This bathroom touchless faucet by Sloan is no different from its other innovative products. The Sloan SF-2350 touchless faucet comes with a beautiful, space-saving design. The motion detection sensor is located at the base of this bathroom faucet.
This is a battery powered, deck mounted faucet. It uses 4 AA powered batteries to operate the sensor. The battery will last for more than two years under normal usage.
This faucet requires three holes of the sink, one for the sensor cable and the flex hose and the other two for fixing the screws. The flex hose and the sensor cable are connected to a control module. The main water line goes into the control module. This control module does the job of a faucet handle.
The control module also has a push button which allows you to select the range of the infrared motion sensor. Using this, you can keep the range at maximum for more convenience or keep it at the lowest and save more water. To set the range, gently keep the button pushed till the sensor light on the faucet blinks. Then put your hand in front of it at the desired distance, the sensor will detect this and set that as its operating range.
Unfortunately, this bathroom faucet doesn't come with a manual mixing valve. But you can buy one separately.
The installation of this touchless faucet is easy, a full installation guide comes with it, so you can fix this by yourself.
The Sloan 2350 is covered under 1 year warranty.
This is the best commercial touchless faucet. It has a rugged construction and will work for years without any problem.
Good looks, reliability and a reasonable pricing makes this faucet No.1 in my list of best touchless bathroom faucets.
Fyeer is a Chinese manufacturer and is relatively new in the USA. That doesn't mean their product is any bad. Unlike the Sloan product above this one isn't for commercial use so it is much cheaper.
This automatic bathroom faucet is available in 3 color variations; chrome finish, nickel brush finish and oil rubbed bronze finish. This has brass construction and is guaranteed to last long and not rust.
This is a battery operated faucet, it uses four AA batteries but they are not included in the purchase. They last for around 6 months of regular use.
Installation of this faucet is easy. Note that this is suitable for only sinks with one hole. The sensor cable and the flexible hose goes through the same hole. It uses a single nut to keep the faucet in position.
As per the manufacture the range of the automatic sensor can be adjusted from 4-8 inches though the factory default is 6 inches. But the manual doesn' say how to adjust this, and there are no extra buttons on the sensor or the control unit which leads me to believe that the claim may be false.
Regarding the sensor, it is very sensitive indeed. The water shuts off a few seconds later you remove your hand, and you need to hold your hand in the right position. Some people may not get a good experience out of this faucet.
This faucet comes with a mixer valve which you can set to cold or hot. In addition, you get the hot and cold water flexible hose inlets as well.
Nevertheless, this is a good automatic touchless faucet for your bathroom considering the price point. It is really cheap considering that many similar models cost hundreds of dollars. If you are looking for a cheap, good quality touchless faucet this is a good choice.
This touchless bathroom faucet is very much like the Fyeer one above. Both are manufactured in China and have a very similar design. But comparing both this one gives a better experience because its sensor works better. And for that reason, I included this one in my list of best touchless bathroom faucets.
This faucet is made of stainless steel and has a chrome finish. No other variations for this product are available. This faucet actually looks better than its photos. The multi-layer chrome finish resists scratches and corrosion.
The installation of this touchless faucet is simple. It is secured in position by tightening a single big nut, so it needs only one hole on the sink for installation. If your sink happens to have more holes you can buy a deck plate to cover the extra holes. The deck plate also makes the faucet looks better so I recommend buying it even if the sink doesn't have any extra holes to cover.
In addition to the standard accessories, this faucet also comes with a water mixer valve, flexible hoses for hot and cold water. I wish the the cold, hot hoses where a bit longer but they fit. The build quality of the faucet is really good I should say being made in China doesn't mean low quality.
This faucet is only a few bucks more than the Fyeer one above. So definitely check this before opting to buy that one.
This is another Chinese, low priced bathroom faucet like the above two. The first thing you notice about this faucet is that it has a handle. Why does a touchless faucet needs a handle? Well, this one here is used to mix the water and control its temperature. You see, unlike any faucet mentioned above, this one doesn't have a control unit. Instead, the hot and cold water inlets are directly attached to the faucet. I thought I should also include a touchless bath faucet with a handle to my list of best picks.
The faucet also acts as a holder for the batteries, the batteries are replaced by opening its top.
This setup gives the Asani touchless faucet certain advantages as well as disadvantages. The advantages include easy installation and easy temperature control. On the other hand, you can not control the water pressure here, and there is no way to cut the water supply to the faucet.
The build of the faucet is really good, most of its parts are bronze which is resistant to corrossion. It has a good weight as well which is a good indicator of its quality.
This is also one of the cheapest but high quality faucets you can buy. If you are not planning to spend hundreds of dollars but need a good touchless bathroom faucet, go for this one.

The Year Of Living Gamelessly
January 8, 2013 · by Simon	· in Editorial, Games.	·
Originally published on AwesomeFriday.ca
My father tells me that my stubbornness comes from my grandfather. Albert/Bill/William Best (still not really sure which were his given and associated names) was a huge ginger-haired man who subtly smelled of sweat and tobacco. He would hold me up in the kitchen of his house in Colchester while my grandmother told him to stop tormenting me. I hold the idea that he was a bit of a trickster and liked to joke around, whilst still effortlessly maintaining the intimidation of size and stature. Apparently he ran an internment camp for Nazi POWs – in Ipswich, maybe? – and played poker with the captives. It's not too hard to imagine this as totally true, he was a bug guy and my father's strong sense of respect must have come from somewhere. My son, almost two, has inherited the light ginger locks and round face of my wife, while taking on my side's eyes and mouth, and it's uncanny how he matches the single strong memory I have left of Albert. Genetic tracing paper, one layer laying over the features of the other.
Someone told Granddad once that there was no way he'd ever give up smoking. The way my Dad tells it, he threw away his cigarettes there and then and never smoked another. No reduction, no action plan – just the iron-coated stubbornness of someone who would never be told that he couldn't do something.
I came to the realisation at the end of 2011 that I was buying a lot of games. Not spending too much – being a new father pretty much removes any disposable income – but constantly trawling through the used bins in EB, hunting out bargains, sniffing for deals. The less said about Steam, the better. Little purchases over the weeks, drip-feeding the idea that I loved playing games. The only problem with that idea was in the truth – I wasn't actually playing anything. Each would be briefly checked, like an antique dealer examining a table, before my focus moved onto the next must-have bargain. A combination of my free time disappearing (again, see: fatherhood), exhaustion at the end of the day, and losing patience with any game that didn't get me straight to the action meant that playing these games had become a bit of a chore. There was a palpable sense of frustration sinking in as I accepted that I was getting nothing from playing. Sometimes I couldn't even remember that I'd seen, done, heard or felt, led stumbling towards the checkpoint marker with a ready finger on the kill button. These minutes that poured into virtual worlds became hollow and meaningless, wasted opportunities mocking my army of unread books and dusty guitar. I found that I was enjoying buying the games more than playing them. Something had to give, I knew that well, but it didn't fall into place immediately.
I'm not a big believer in resolutions, and of course I've broken hundreds of them in my journey to that opinion. I should frame my selection of gym membership cards, each with a small plaque detailing the exact time of failure. However, I like ongoing challenges, something to push back the boredom of necessary predictability. I was looking for something that could mark out 2012 for me, somehow. Read more, write more, sing more; all great ideas but all underpinned my the knowledge of who I am – without motivation, I will flutter away from good intentions as soon as something pretty distracts me. I was at a party with some good friends, people who have shifted past that initial polite barrier into the realm of those that can truly reflect on who you are. I'm a sucker for a good pun, and The Year Of Living Gamelessly drunkenly popped up as we were talking about 2012 changes. In truth, I had to spontaneously give meaning and structure to what, up to then, had only been a fun play on an established title. What if I, a resolute and (seemingly) passionate gamer, go a whole year without…buying games? Kat responded with a laugh – friendly, winking, knowing – that found its echo in the group. "You'll never do that", she said.
The idea took hold immediately. A whole year without buying games sounded so insane that I couldn't resist.
I started gaming on my neighbour's Atari 2600 at the age of twelve. Up to that point, it was only the infrequent visits to Southsea seafront that allowed me to take in the sounds of the arcade, feet sticking to sticky carpets in crowded, badly-lit pier buildings. The 10p pieces would be rationed and savoured. The singularity moment of walking into his game room and finding this wooden panelled machine, pads out, ready to play without a coin slot to appease…I can still clearly feel that moment, seared very deeply in my pleasure centre. We played games that were little more than blocks on blocks beeping and chirping away like fat sparrows while we pretended that we knew what we were doing.
Next was a Sinclair Spectrum 128K +2, a box of copied cassettes and a tape deck that clicked happily to itself every five seconds. My Commodore Amiga came to university with me, disk box full of classics like Lemmings, Speedball 2 and SWOS also hiding the terrible digitized porn disk inconspicuously labeled "Pics". My first TV console, a SNES, was the worst purchase of 1996, Tetris Attack and Mario Kart slowly chipping away at my study motivation. PS1 led to PS2 and many, many happy hours playing TimeSplitters 2 by myself and Tekken Tag with Steve. (Steve, incidentally, used to make gamenight pints of whisky and coke that were 50/50 measures which led to End Of Days level hangovers). I can still pick up Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 and use pure muscle memory to ace every level. Halo changed my life. XBox, 360, PS3, Gamecube, Dreamcast, Nintendo DS, Gameboy Micro, PSP, PC, Mac, iOS, Android…games, games everywhere, at all times, in all places. Gaming has been a major part of my life for almost as long as I can remember.
After the party, I formulated the firm rules for my endeavour: none of my own money was to be spent on any video games in any format, whereas vouchers, gifts and store credit was fine. A single own cent spent would be failure, even if it meant missing out on an absolute bargain. The simplicity and totality of the rules attracted me even more. Clear lines and instructions, so all I needed to do was make it through twelve months.
I knew straight away that the hardest part would be the fight against spontaneity. I often would buy a game on the spur of the moment, convinced that I absolutely had to have it, only to leave it collecting dust after a few brief days. To see something at a special price, or find myself with a free Friday night and a game I wanted sat on the shelves, was almost more tempting than I could take. The first few months were relatively easy due to Christmas and my February birthday, and distance from home meant that Amazon vouchers were the present of choice. I pondered over these purchases, knowing that I needed a few titles that could essentially get me through to Christmas (I had already conveniently forgotten about the piles of games virtually unplayed from the previous year). Gran Turismo 4 and a WWII plane sim called Birds Of Prey arrived a few weeks later and completed the usual cycle of initial play falling into disinterest.
Journey and Trials Evolution had been planned for, and Amazon vouchers spent accordingly, otherwise that would have been the end of my challenge right there. However, past these releases in March, the bite started making itself known. I had to physically force myself to walk out of stores on a number of occasions, shiny boxes calling me back like sirens in the deep. The worst find was a fresh discount bin in Future Shop with a number of genuinely interesting titles at $1 each. At one point I had six piled up in my hands, feet itching to run to the counter before my brain kicked past the barriers. My strategy of truthful reasoning began there and continued to get me through the rest of the year. I held up each title in turn and asked myself two simple questions:
1) Have I ever really thought about wanting this?
2) Will I actually play it?
Putting back the games that failed either question, the pile soon reduced itself to nothing, and my pride did the rest. I knew the failure would hang over me for a long time if I broke, and there would be no way to reverse it. The honesty of my situation became a hard, belligerent motivating force. Actually, it felt incredibly exciting to break the spell of bargain entrapment and that pushed me on ever further.
This circle repeated itself occasionally as the year rolled on. However, there was one major flaw to my plan. I had assumed that, if I just stayed out of the game shops, then I could resist the temptation of new titles. What I hadn't accounted for was the game shop in my pocket, winking at me every time I used my phone. I'd be the first to admit that iPhone gaming could never fully replace the console experience, but what I started seeing was many reviews of apps that not only used the limitations of the device to great effect but also were exactly the kind of arcadey games that I loved. Turns out it's easy to not spend $60; not spending 99c is an entirely different prospect. The fact that you could press one button, enter one word and a new game would magically appear in your hands was almost too much to resist. Almost. What had started to kick in, fuelled by the insistent reasoning, was a far more honest and shrewd opinion of what I wanted from games, and this gave me the edge over the persuasive itch to buy, buy, buy. I managed to resist.
Until Super Hexagon.
My first play of Terry Cavanagh's hypnotic puzzle experience came in a review of the iOS version that linked to the free Flash original. It didn't take long before I was hooked, and a brief run on a friend's iPhone version just compounded how I absolutely had to have this RIGHT NOW. My options were limited, however; App Store credit had long disappeared, no more games to trade in, not a birthday or Christmas in sight. I turned to the gift app option, offering my wife all manner of things to secure the $1.99 present. She didn't bite, of course. I'd load up the game page and stare longingly at the BUY button before forcing it to close. Resolution finally came, of all places, in a casino. In true Run, Lola, Run style, I watched with gleeful eyes as my five dollars slowly rose, dipped and finally inflated into eight. I walked out of that casino like a hero, the only man to beat The House. The original money went back into my pocket and the winnings – not my earnt money, technically – went to my wife, to the App Store, to my e-mail, and finally to my phone. Six months later and it's not only my game of 2012 but also one of my favourite games ever.
Summer heat took away much motivation to sit in and play anything, which helped, but I was surprised when my console attraction didn't really return as the Fall chill returned. I played a little bit here and there, and the library rentals certainly scratched the itch to play something new, but I was nowhere near as committed as before. Worse than that, there was a real disconnect of focus – where I would once have been able to stare at the screen, entranced and reactive, I found myself now barely able to even stay awake. The interest had all but gone, more simple iPhone experiences frequently filling the few minutes I had spare. I thought Halo 4 would be a serious issue – I had owned all from Halo 2 on release day, even sitting through an uncomfortable midnight opening surrounded by teenagers for Reach – and didn't have a strategy for getting through this challenge. Luckily, Matt is as big a Halo fan as I am and we were soon sat playing his copy, raging through the campaign, split-screen. Even more luckily, I became so frustrated with it that the thought of owning it completely left my mind.
The strangest sensation connected with all of this was in November. As the gaming releases ramped up for Christmas, and the titles from earlier in the year were heavily discounted, my palms actually started itching. Not metaphorically. I desperately wanted to buy and play something new, the closeness of the next year doing nothing to alleviate my urges. It was very strange indeed, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't even about playing, the repression of my spending patterns was finally staring to burst at the seams. The final boss battle came in the form of Super Hexagon on Steam, running at a ridiculous frame rate, all shiny and tempting. By that point, thought, Christmas was almost upon us, so my putting that at the top of my list actually made it child-level exciting once again.
I was playing Ticket To Ride with some good friends, heavily inebriated, when I realised that I'd done it. I'd joked that I'd probably see the New Year in on the Steam store, finger hovering over the BUY button as midnight chimed. Truth was, I barely even noticed until an hour later. What had seem like an impossible goal had passed unheralded, buried underneath wine, friends, food and laughter.
My Christmas present stash was a good one for new games. Between actual presents and Boxing Day discounts, I'd suddenly accumulated Lollipop Chainsaw, Far Cry 3, Sleeping Dogs, FTL and Thirty Flights Of Loving. It was like having giant bowls of ice cream after a year of occasional spoonfuls. I went into a few game shops at the beginning of January, giddy at the prospect of being able to buy something again, but left empty-handed. Interestingly enough, not because there wasn't anything I wanted; more that the frugal nature of my justification hasn't left, and I'm starting to wonder if it ever will. Those two questions still ring loud when I ponder a purchase, and I'm finding that I'm putting bargains back when once I would have spent without a second thought. My first game in over a year was, predictably in hindsight, on iOS. Hundreds was followed by Repulze, then Amnesia on Steam, then a PS+ subscription and the wonderfully batshit mental Tokyo Jungle. The spending already feels like it's spiralling again, but this time there's an important difference – I'm also not buying things. Even if they are cheap. Even if I absolutely must have them OMG. Whatever, a new part of my brain is saying. You've got plenty to play. They'll be available later if you still want them.
And that, right there, is how my gameless year has changed me forever. It's made me what I could not be before – realistic. The impulse has changed, and with it the love for sprawling console epics has all but vanished. Right now, I want games, not interactive movies. Not realistic depictions of street life. Not liberating your friends from island mercs. I want to instantly have three minutes squeezing my triangle through techno-backed mazes, I want to survive as a Pomeranian in neo-Tokyo, I want to savour the sublime squelch of a beautiful cheerleader dispatching zombies. I'm even playing Far Cry 3 purely as a spacial puzzle game (which works surprisingly well). Minecraft, ever-present and absorbing, is pure exploration of a Lego fantasy. Not a QTS cut-scene in sight. This is what I want now. Maybe it's a call back to the singular experiences of Southsea arcade. Maybe all I needed was to be reintroduced to the sticky carpet and aural pleasures of games that are games.
Someone once told me that I would never be able to give up buying games for a year, so I did it just to prove them wrong. It probably tells you everything you need to know that I did it out of pride rather than an attempt to change a bad habit. What emerged, though, was an outlook on my decades-old obsession that was entirely fresh, mature and finally free of knee-jerk enticement. Rationality born from stubbornness. A gift from my grandfather.
Albert Best, on right, being cool.

Forces align for and against Santa Clara stadium vote
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 11, 2010, 11:18 PM EDT
On June 8, registered voters in Santa Clara will decide whether to accept or reject a package aimed at financing a new stadium for the 49ers.
According to Howard Mintz of the San Jose Mercury News, a "furious campaign" has been launched regarding the measure. Predictably, both sides are resorting to the time-honored political tactic of hyperbole and exaggeration.
Under the proposal, $114 million in public support would be provided. The 49ers would contribute $493 million, an amount much higher than the portions shouldered in recent years by teams like the Colts ($100 million), the Cardinals ($143 million), and the Broncos ($143 million). The remaining $330 million would come from the stadium authority, which will raise the money via Personal Seat Licenses, concessions, and naming rights.
It's believed in some circles that the Santa Clara project ultimately won't be viable unless the 49ers and the Raiders share the facility. It's also believed that the Raiders strongly prefer sharing a facility in Oakland.
Either way, the vote is going forward on June 8. A positive outcome doesn't guarantee that the stadium will be built. If the "nays" win, it's pretty much dead.

Great, why aren't you reporting on the Santonio Holmes to the Jets for a fifth rounder story?
jimmySee says:
If the 49'ers need to share the stadium, and the Raiders won't cooperate, how about the Santa Clara Vikings?
GoBrowns19 says:
So would it be the Santa Clara 49ers and the Santa Clara Raiders? How dumb. Then again, I don't know how far Santa Clara is from the Bay area and I'm too tired to look on the map.

Los Angeles 49ERS 2012..
RAIDERNATION_408 says:
i would love a new stadium for the raiders even if we gotta share with wiiiners but please DONT STICK ME WITH PSL BS AGAIN, I HATE NEW STADIUMS WITH PSL'S
kevinmack says:
Positive outcome is a 99.99999999999% guarantee that it will be built!
And 100% guarantee that the 49ers will NEVER Share a park in CHOKELAND!!
This new park will be awesome, and only 5 min from my work!
RaiderhateR4Life says:
GoBrowns19- Santa Clara is about 35 miles south of SF, so it's still in the Bay. Both teams would keep their City's names just like the Cowgirls in Irvine TX.
MasterShake says:
@GoBrowns19
Pretty much right at the bottom on the bay. This has to do with the A's moving south as well (San Jose). Geography is a hell of a drug.
sfout says:
Santa Clara is maybe 35 miles away from SF and Oakland mutually and its right at the bottom of the bay inlet….it's the best option for both the niners and oakland. Neither team will like playing in the others' city so if both teams agree an extra 60-75 miles a day on their cars is worth it they should be pushing for this thing completely.
I live in Utah where the MLS team Real Salt Lake plays in a suburb called Sandy thats 20 miles South of downtown Salt Lake and everyone still happy calls them RSL….Not too mention pretty much every league has at least 1 pair of teams that plays for the same city or in the same stadium and has to deal with it.
windex666 says:
Oakland is a steaming pile of crap and so are their fans. The Raiders need to move to L.A. and take their fans with them.
Deel says:
"So would it be the Santa Clara 49ers and the Santa Clara Raiders? How dumb. "
Right, just as dumb as the East Rutherford Jets/Giants, the Arlington Cowboys, the Landover (Maryland) Redskins and the myriad other teams in the league that don't play in their namesake city.
seancramento says:
Why would the Raiders share a stadium with the 40-winers……………i don't see a "Red-Hole" coming anytime soon.
EDM says:
Another case of taxpayers funding facilities for billionaires and all the revenue generated goes in the billionaire's pockets. These owners have no conscience and even stoop to rape a poor state like Cali. Hope they all rot in the afterlife for being so greedy and gluttonous.
hairyfupa says:
I don't care where the stadium is built, I love the idea of having a 50-Foot Dwight Clark in a photo of "the Catch".
The 49ers are footing a huge portion of the cost, there's no way this gets voted "nay". As a San Francisco fan, I can't care less if the stadium is shared with the Raiders. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the Jets/Giants, other than coin toss arguments.
The Raiders will never share anything with Butt Jockeys from Frisco.
The Raiders front office knows the bill in Santa Clara will fail.
Hence —leaving the 49ers with no new stadium and at the mercy of the Raiders, in which the Raiders will tell them politely to GFT…..
The 49ers are perfect for Los Angeles.
Stick a "LA" on the helmet instead of the "SF" and you have a winner..
.Vox Veritas. says:
"These owners have no conscience and even stoop to rape a poor state like Cali."
That ass is pretty worn out after getting raped by Pelosi, Feinstein et al.
49erJohnny says:
If the voters of Santa Clara have any sense they will vote no on this thing. 49ers want 100 million dollars of Santa Clara's tax payers money. Santa Clara is a small city they don't owe the 49ers nothing and cant afford to be giving the 49ers 100 million of their hard earned tax dollars. 49ers aren't Santa Clara's financial responsibility and shouldn't give the 49ers a dime.
raiders177 says:
# kevinmack says: April 11, 2010 11:51 PM
Until the stadium is built, then 5 minutes turns into 35 minutes.
epping16 says:
I don't know anything about Santa Clara….but do you know what an NFL franchise can do for a small city? They would more than get back their 100 mil by having the 9ers in town 8+ times a year.
ReadyRanger says:
IF the Stadium is built, there WILL be (PSL) personal seat licenses … it is one of the ways that the 49ers are requiring the City of Santa Clara to raise the money to pay off the $330 MILLION BBB- bond! And the loan from the 49ers at 8.5% interest too. You see, not only is the City providing $114 million but will have to find (oops, meant finance) $330 MILLION in low grade, BBB- bonds AND the stadium WILL divert $67 MILLION from the City's general fund too!
In short … the City of Santa Clara and the 49er fans are going to take it in the shorts to get the pleasure of having a stadium.
So, in conclusion … VOTE NO on Measure J … it is a huge risk to Santa Clara taxpayers AND will only guarantee benefits to the Yorks!! IF the Yorks want a new stadium so bad — pay for the damn thing yourselves and get off our back!! We, like you, are not in the stadium business! Go find a sucker somewhere else to build your white elephant.
Yorks/49ers … GO AWAY … and Vote No on Measure J.

Q: How do I find if one element contains a value from another element ignoring case in XML using c#? I want to check if one of my XML elements contains a value another element ignoring case.
Here is what I tried:

Doubts raised over China's traffic-straddling bus
Viknesh Vijayenthiran August 9, 2016 Comment Now!
China's Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) made headlines last week after the company behind the project, TEBtech, conducted a first real-world test.
However, questions have been raised as to whether it's just one big scam.
As China's Global Times points out, much of TEBtech's capital has been sourced via online peer-to-peer lending. The form of lending has been rocked by several scandals in China recently, with some turning out to be Ponzi schemes.
ALSO SEE: Are you game to drive through an underwater floating tunnel?
There are also doubts about the viability of the design. On closer inspection, Car News China noted that TEBtech's prototype had rubber tires that traveled along crudely constructed troughs in the road, instead of the proposed rail system that the company originally touted. There's even speculation that the prototype might simply be a refurbished gantry or portal crane like you see at major ports.

The TEB project has been in the works for almost a decade, though (it made headlines all the way back in 2010). And TEBtech claims to have successfully tested one of the high-riding, traffic-straddling buses.
However, the August 2 test in the port city of Qinhuangdao was conducted on a closed-off section of road and only saw the bus travel about 300 meters.
TEBtech stated that its initial test was to evaluate the aerodynamics, braking system and power usage of the prototype. The prototype is approximately 26 feet long and 16 ft high and has the capacity to carry 300 passengers.
The project has already attracted the interest of transport departments from other countries including Brazil, France, India and Indonesia. Given the level of interest, we should learn soon whether the TEB is a genuine solution for the world's congested cities or if it's simply a ruse to fleece investors.

What's next for Egyptian entrepreneurs?
One day before Egyptians took to the streets in protest, a Cairo-based venture capital firm called Sawari Ventures formally launched.
CNN Money | 01.11.2011
One day before Egyptians took to the streets in protest, a Cairo-based venture capital firm called Sawari Ventures formally launched. It is the nation's only privately-funded VC firm, with plans to invest between $2 and $5 million in local technology and telecom startups.
Earlier today I spoke with Leslie Jump, a Sawari Ventures partner who works out of Washington, D.C. (her husband is Edward Walker, U.S. Ambassador to Egypt between 1994 and 1997). Below is an edited transcript of our conversation:
Fortune: Is it safe to say that business is on hold for Sawari Ventures?
Leslie Jump: Definitely. The country is dealing with existential questions right now, and today you have thugs on camels attacking people in the streets. So obviously all regular business has been put on hold. One of our Egyptian partners has a non-Egyptian wife, so he took her to London to keep her safe – but he plans to return soon. Our other partner is out in his neighborhood with a cricket bat, helping to protect it from looters.
It was great to see our entrepreneurs come back online today, although they're all out protesting.
How are your firm's investors reacting?
Our lead investor is Naguib Sawiris, the richest man in Egypt. He has been coming out with statements about how we need to get through this period first, and then remember that investment is key to Egypt's economic development. We completely agree, of course.
Obviously the American investors are a different story, and are a bit more cautious. We knew that a majority of our funding would come from the region, but we wanted some Americans involved to help validate the market.
You said that you hope that there is a continued interest in economic development through investment. Are you optimistic?
I believe in the pragmatism of the Egyptian people. Political folks keep asking if Egypt will turn into Turkey or turn into Iran, but I have a very hard time believing the latter is possible. The people are devout, but not fanatical, and the protests have been driven by middle and upper-middle class educated people who understand that economic reform is critical.
What types of reform?
Well, if I had the ear of the minister of finance in the prevailing government, I'd tell him that the number one issue for entrepreneurs is that the country's bankruptcy laws must be reformed. It takes two days to start up a company in Egypt and two years to wind it down. You cannot have a successful and thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem unless you can fail fast.
The second thing is access to capital.
Speaking of which, how many other venture capital firms are active in Egypt besides Sawari?
Before January 25, I used to tell people that the Arab digital economy was a lot like the U.S. digital economy in 1995. In terms of venture capital, it's more like 1975. There are just seven firms in the region: Two in Dubai, two in Egypt – one is public, and we're the private one – one in Jordan, one in the West Bank and Intel Capital.
Egypt is a market of 80 million people who speak a common language, but it is very under-served in terms of access to capital. Despite the political challenges, Egyptians are rampant consumers of consumer technologies and are digital natives because the vast majority is under the age of 30. I'm hoping that, once things begin to stabilize, we'll be part of helping to build out an entrepreneurial ecosystem that has incredible potential.

...social science enthusiast since I was 5 years old My travel experiences have been motivated by my desire to satisfy my childhood self's deepest desire and affinity to geography, world history, cultures and languages. This blog is not your regular travel blog - not at all fueled by profit; but rather, that my adventures would resonate to many of the 7 billion people in this planet... to meet people with similar hobbies, to exchange stories and ideas with faraway friends, to travel in behalf of others or with people who couldn't physically do it themselves, and hopefully, to inspire people to achieve their dreams.
It has been almost 2 years since the last time I spent a long holiday in Bavaria, where my cousins live. Although the last one was one of the memorable trips I had (partly due to the shenanigans while we got semi-drunk during the Christmas holidays and partly due to the wonderful "family time" we had both in Franconia and when we visited the Neuschwanstein Castle and crossed to Austria), this more recent visit was quite exciting in itself – it was my first time attending a German and Lutheran wedding (as one of my cousins got married) and this time, I will visit them during spring, when the weather is way brighter and we could do more outdoor activities.
During my stay, we managed to visit 3 places which definitely tapped my huge interest in history and nature.
After my cousin's wedding, I was left at my uncle and aunt's home and they decided to spend the next few days with me. The first trip we did was to travel an hour and a half towards the Point Alpha Border Museum in Geisa, in the Rhon region of south-central Germany. It's been around 28 years since West and East Germany reunited to become the modern-day Federal Republic of Germany. While we are currently enjoying watching the formidable football teams within the Bundesliga (immediately, this popped first in my mind as I am writing this post while the 2018 FIFA World Cup is taking place), and while we enjoy the schnitzels, bratwursts and beers during our visit to the German cities, as a great lover of history, it was important to me to know German modern history from encyclopedias but at the same time, important for me how to at least partly remember the developments right after 1945, how German society was split between the opposing sides of the Cold War and how certain historical figures and the countless civilians risked their lives for the promise of freedom and a better life and eventually, to once again unite an inspiring and power nationality that we see today as contemporary Germany.
Amidst the warm summer heat, the museum retained a few hundred meters of the fence that separated East and West Germany from the Baltic Sea to their border with Czech Republic. It was definitely a thick one, and even harder to climb. And with the observer towers built in the area, one could just imagine the perils there were when one attempted to cross to the western side. We culminated our visit with a family stroll along with our baby Australian shepherd, Joey. Heading towards the car, there was this feeling of renewed appreciation of our freedom. A lot of people live a happy life today due to the sacrifices and hopes of people before us. The freedom that we just enjoy today for free was the freedom that many of them had hoped for themselves and the generations to come… and some of them even had to pay a price for them. Even if I'm not German, I still felt that air at that moment. For in the Philippines, there had been many of colonizers, and even up to this day, I can't fathom the sacrifices that heroes in the past had to make in order to give the rest of us the hope of freedom.
The next day, my "parents here in Europe" decided to take me to one of the hills in Poppenhausen in the neighboring region of Hesse. My uncle and aunt usually bring Joey to the countryside to do some hiking and camping. Although I've known that Germany is quite flat, with most of the mountainous terrain in the Alpine region towards its borders with Austria and Switzerland, it was incredible to view the vast plains from the top of the hills. We spent an entire afternoon hiking along a relatively easy route winding to the top of the hills and beneath a good shade of trees. Finally, we relaxed and ate lunch in a restaurant by the lake.
Would you like to buy at Christmas shops open in summer? How about seeing locals dressed in medieval attires as farmers and soldiers and marching through the streets of the town? Or how about enjoying the cool breeze and sunny weather of spring (all before it gets so hot) while drinking your favorite beer in a cozy biergarten? Then, you would find all of these in the Middle Franconian town of Rothenburg ob ter Tauber. The town is quite special due to its retention of medieval architecture on most of its buildings, particularly the ones surrounding the main square, the Marktplatz. The locals really showed their warm hospitality especially and even encouraged me to march with them in one of the parades. I wish I had more time but definitely, we made the best out of the time that we had there.


When a torsion angle is being tested for a selected range of values, specified by the SELECT command, if the test fails and if the space group is centrosymmetric then the fragment is inverted and the value tested again to determine whether the fragment is declared a hit.
(ie. command ENANT NORM in the instruction document) will hit ACOHKT and ALCHRB10.
The same search with NOINVERT active would hit only ALCHRB10.
Note that when the fragment is inverted all parameters are recalculated. Torsion angles are the most common enantiomorph-sensitive parameters.

Alma & Almanaris Springs
Alma and Almanaris were two springs located on the the grounds of the Park View Hotel - later leased by the Keeley Institute. The original owner of the property was Julius Riese (Also Reese in some documentation.) Julius named one of his daughters Alma, born in 1867 assuming that he then named one of the springs after her. The Latin term of Alma means "nourishing, kind" which is a nice namesake for both the daughter and the restorative spring. The second spring (Almanaris) was eventually piped about 900 feet down to a bottling plant along the railroad tracks. The Almanaris Spring namesake and bottling works were subsequently moved north along St Paul Avenue to a new location.
Almanaris Mineral Spring Bottling Works
Park View Hotel/Keeley Institute ca 1910
Alma and Almanaris Springs were two springs located on the grounds of the Park View Hotel on the west side of Waukesha. The hotel was on the north side of St. Paul Avenue, north of its intersection with Washington Avenue. The springs were commercialized by Andrew and William Powers of Chicago. There is some confusion as to the names of these springs, as they were shown as Alma and Almanaris.
After a disastrous fire in 1904, in which the bottling plant was destroyed (the plant was on the south side of St. Paul Avenue and water was conveyed by pipes), Almanaris was moved. The business moved to a new plant and used a spring about tow miles north, a spring that had been used by one of the earliest breweries in Waukesha, the Schock Brewery. It was located directly across the river from the White Rock Property. The business operated until about 1948 and produced Almanariws, Bond, and Cliquot Club beverages.
