This Week at 148Apps: September 8-12, 2014
Posted by Chris Kirby on September 14th, 2014
Expert App Reviewers
So little time and so very many apps. What's a poor iOS devotee to do? Fortunately, 148Apps is here to give you the rundown on the latest and greatest releases. And we even have a tremendous back catalog of reviews; just check out the Reviews Archive for every single review we've ever written.
Kapsula
Kapsula isn't an easy game by any means, but it is an appealing one. It combines the obvious mixture of racing and Match-3 gameplay, because that's a partnership that we've all been waiting to see! It sounds odd, but it works by relying upon some very fast reactions and quick decision making. You control a car as it races across some futuristic-looking landscapes. The visuals are quite crude but they match the theme well, adding a kind of beauty to such simplicity. Controls are a matter of tapping on either side to move around and that's as complex as Kapsula gets. The tricky part is moving at the right time. While racing along, various colored gems called kapsulas (hence the name) appear. Drive alongside one and you snag it to the side of your car. The trick here is to match it up with another of the same color to earn points. --Jennifer Allen
There's no shortage of endless runners on the App Store. Good endless runners, though? Now, there's a trickier thing to find. Spider-Man Unlimited is one of those rare delights, made all the rarer by the fact it uses a popular license and still manages to be enjoyable. It's a narrative led running game, which means it's split into two parts. There's the Endless mode that lives up to its name, but there's also the more structured story mode that offers up some reason to run. Divided up into issues, issue 1 involves you tackling the Green Goblin while issue 2 pits you against the Vulture – with future issues coming soon. --Jennifer Allen
Ninja Warrior Temple
Ninja Warrior Temple understands that the way of the ninja is never an easy one. It takes skill and insight bordering on the supernatural: a perfect melding of body and mind. But while its clever designs show its mind is in the right place, the slippery controls suggest the body still needs work. Ninja Warrior Temple is a textbook "masocore" game where players take on super short but devastatingly difficult platforming challenges. While early stages use fairly formulaic layouts like "jump over spikes in an incredibly tight time window," the game soon reveals its smarter tricks. --Jordan Minor
The Nightmare Cooperative
The Nightmare Cooperative is a dungeon-raiding puzzler and strategy game that forces players to think on their feet while taking multiple factors into account at once. Taking place over 12 levels through 4 zones, players must navigate their team over a checkered game board via up and down swipes that control the whole team at once, moving past deadly enemies and fiery pits. Of course, there is the option to fight back by either bumping into enemies repeatedly or by pressing the special ability button. Enabled by the collection of potions, each character class has their own special ability – including healing, brute strength, and long-range weapons – that will help with getting their teammates and themselves to the exit in one piece. --Lee Hamlet
Gro Flowers
As readers can imagine, my son is fortunate to have a chance to test a variety of educational apps that I download as part of my review process. Typically for him, this is alone-time when he chooses not to have a lot of interaction with others as he becomes deeply involved with an app of his choice. Gro Flowers, an app from a favorite developer of ours – Gro Play – is a unique case, as my boy invites me into his world while working with this application. It's a lovely combination of art and ecology, allowing children to decorate their own flowers to later be pollinated by bees that also produce honey in need of being caught as it drips from the hive. Do shoo away bug spray bottles with a tap, keeping the bees safe and happy. I would first like to point out that Gro Flowers, along with other Gro Play apps, allows multiple players to explore and interact at the same time – working together decorating flowers as well as dragging bees to like-flowers in the interest of pollination, as well as collecting honey and discouraging the use of pesticides, making this app a lovely exercise in cooperation that my son really enjoys sharing with others. The pacing of Gro Flowers, also like the other Gro Play apps, is a little on the slow side compared to arcade games some children play with these days, but I do admire this choice. It allows my son to slow down as well – a lovely nod to the time it takes nature to grow a field of flowers or create honey one drop at a time. --Amy Solomon
Other 148Apps Network Sites
If you are looking for the best reviews of Android apps, just head right over to AndroidRundown. Here are just some of the reviews served up this week:
AndroidRundown
Appointment with F.E.A.R.
Appointment With F.E.A.R casts the player as a hero with powers of their choosing out to stop an evil meeting of the minds as the criminal organization known as F.E.A.R meet in three days to hatch an evil plot to take over the world. Players begin by picking their powers. What powers they have affects the story great deal. They may be able to fire energy blast from their hands or simply be a Batman like gadget genius with no actual superpowers besides being clever, among others. A few of these feel a bit half-baked though. The engineer type doesn't really get enough chances to use his gadgets and the mind reader doesn't get to really read minds, more just use their physic skills to hurl objects at enemies and so on. --Allan Curtis
Help Me Fly
There is no shortage of puzzle games in all of the app stores, including the Google Play Store. But finding that must play puzzle game, might be a challenge. Don't look any further, because we've found one. Puzzle games and app stores: it's like a combination made in heaven. And why wouldn't it be? Most of those puzzle games are easy to understand, offer a great challenge and have some pretty user-friendly interfaces for us to enjoy. A good puzzle game has all of the above mentioned elements and I'm glad to say that the game Help Me Fly vg fits right in to the description of a good puzzle game. It even has some solid looking graphics that are easy on the eyes. --Wesley Akkerman
The new Angry Birds Stella game just came and that can only mean one thing: it's time to give the birds a swing again. Only this time, we're swinging female birds with more tactics at their disposal. With every new Angry Birds installment I always ask myself: what did Rovio do this time to not make me think this game is just like the one before? The gravity mechanic in Angry Birds Space was a first for me, thinking the developer actually did something to improve the basics of the game. And now, I've got the same feeling. Angry Birds Stella is, to be very direct, a new Angry Birds game that builds upon the basics of the core of the franchise and really offers something new. --Wesley Akkerman
And finally, Apple made headlines on Pocket Gamer, too. The guys have got tech and size comparisons for the new iPhones, and thoughts on the Apple Watch's gaming potential. Plus, a preview of Space Age, along with reviews of Goblin Sword, Phantom Rift, and more. Read everything right here.

Updating Mississippi State's Class of 2020
Read original article here
Joe Moorhead (Photo: Gene Swindoll, Gene's Page, 247Sports)
Another recruiting cycle has been underway for awhile now and the Class of 2020 has long been in the spotlight. Of course, the work for that class started way before this year and Mississippi State currently sits at 14 commitments in the 2020 edition.
That group is currently ranked No. 13 nationally by 247Composite and No. 5 in the SEC. The class currently features a pair of 247Sports' fourpstar prospects with a couple of other commitments inching closer to four-star status.
With the recent additions to the class, today we re-introduce this group to recruiting fans and feature the groundwork of the Bulldogs' start in the Class of 2020.
JAVORRIUS SELMON
Rank: 4-star (247Composite No. 379 overall, No. 23 athlete, No. 6 in state)
Height and Weight: 5-9, 170
High School: Provine High School
Commitment Date: Nov. 8, 2018
Recruiting Coach: Terrell Buckley
Teams(s) to watch for: Ole Miss, Auburn
An ankle injury limited Selmon to only five games last season and he totaled two interceptions and six PBUs when he was on the field. He is your prototypical cornerback and when you observe his movements and smooth cuts, it is clear why.
Selmon has the ability to be among the top prospects in the state and is already at No. 7 on that list so far. He committed to the Bulldogs on the same day last November and has remained solid since that decision.
Rank: 3-star (247Composite No. 770 overall, No. 29 pro-style quarterback, No. 19 in state)
High School: Brandon High School
Commitment Date: Jan. 23, 2019
Recruiting Coach: Andrew Breiner
Teams(s) to watch for: Ole Miss, Washington State
Rogers became the most recent addition to Mississippi State's 2020 class and his commitment happened not long after the Bulldogs offered him. Rogers threw for over 3,000 yards last year and has good accuracy and arm strength. Those attributes will only improve this year and he also possesses a high football IQ, which is natural for any coach's son.
Rogers did surprise a lot of people when he committed this early and he also holds a Washington State offer. Other SEC programs also have their eye on Rogers, and that includes Ole Miss.
JOHNQUARISE PATTERSON
Position: Receiver
Rank: 3-star (247Sports No. 5 juco prospect overall, No. 1 juco receiver, No. 2 juco prospect in state)
High School/Community College: Hinds Community College
Commitment Date: Sept. 16, 2018
Recruiting Coach: Michael Johnson
Teams(s) to watch for: None
Patterson originally signed with Mississippi State in the Class of 2018 but had to go the junior college route first. He spent last season at Jones College and totaled 27 catches for 253 yards and four touchdowns. In January, Patterson left Jones College and is now at Hinds Community College.
Patterson was electric in high school and led Pearl High School to an undefeated season and Class 6A championship in 2017. Not long after last season started, Patterson went public with his intentions to remain committed to the Bulldogs and did so in the Class of 2020.
SHAQUON ANDERSON-BUTTS
Position: Receiver/Athlete
Height and Weight: 6-0.5, 202
High School/Community College: Iowa Western Community College
Commitment Date: Dec. 14, 2018
Recruiting Coach: Terry Richardson
Teams(s) to watch for: Texas A&M, Kentucky
Anderson-Butts redshirted last season at Iowa Western and could play receiver or safety at the next level. He was also a surprise commitment for the Bulldogs back in December. But he's had a long-time connection with Joe Moorhead and will have three years to play three in the Division 1 ranks.
The former Under Armour All-American originally committed to Penn State in the Class of 2018 and was recruited by Moorhead during that time. He is expected to play receiver this year for Iowa Western and has yet to visit Mississippi State.
JEVON BANKS
Rank: 3-star (247Composite No. 694 overall, No. 26 Weak-Side Defensive End, No. 15 in state)
High School: Olive Branch High School
Commitment Date: Feb. 10, 2019
Recruiting Coach: Deke Adams
Teams(s) to watch for: Tennessee, Texas A&M
Banks produced a solid junior campaign for Olive Branch and once again paced a defensive-led charge deep into the Class 5A playoffs. He is listed as an outside linebacker but spent most of his junior season coming off the edge of the defensive line.
Banks is still growing into his frame and is coming off a 100-plus tackles season that also included 14 tackles for loss. His first step often leads to explosive plays in the opposing backfield and his strength also allows him to play well against the run. And don't be surprised to see Banks play on the interior of the defensive line at the next level.
EMMANUEL FORBES
Rank: 3-star (247Composite No. 731 overall, No. 51 cornerback, No. 17 in the state)
High School: Grenada High School
Teams(s) to watch for: Tennessee, Ole Miss
Forbes did a little bit of everything last year for Grenada High School. And wherever he was - defense, offense and special teams - Forbes was making plays. He totaled a couple of receiving touchdowns and a couple of punt return touchdowns while holding his own at cornerback in the Grenada secondary.
Thus far, Forbes has been one of the best-kept secrets in the Magnolia State Class of 2020. But with his junior film making the rounds, they may not be the case this summer and he's collected four new Power 5 offers since the middle of May.
ARMONDOUS COOLEY AND CALVIN MCMILLIAN
Armondous Cooley (Photo: @armondous)
Rank: 3-star (247Composite No. 830 overall, No. 66 defensive tackle, No. 21 in state)
High School: Wayne County High School
Commitment Date: March 24, 2019
Teams(s) to watch for: Tennessee, Oregon
If you're looking for the state's most athletic defensive lineman, Cooley could easily be that guy. He plays defensive end in certain schemes at Wayne County High School but his future is on the interior at the next level. Cooley has the size and athleticism to consistently beat double teams on the inside and that rare feature is always a must in the SEC trenches.
2020 OL Calvin McMillian (Photo: Steve Robertson , 247Sports)
Rank: 3-star (247Composite No. 914 overall, No. 72 offensive tackle, No. 25 in state)
High School: Houston High School
Recruiting Coach: Marcus Johnson
Like most high school offensive linemen, McMillian is raw in his technique and that will come with more experience and once he enters the college ranks. But he already possesses the mean streak and athleticism to protect the quarterback in the SEC trenches.
McMillian is being recruited to play offensive tackle at Mississippi State, and he's been Houston's starting left tackle the past two seasons.
TRE LAWSON AND BENJAMIN KEY
(Photo: @LawsonTre)
High School/Community College: Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College
Teams(s) to watch for: Oregon, West Virginia
The former Florida State transfer is a new name of sorts to this class, mainly due to his lack of attention leading up to his Mississippi State commitment. Now in the Magnolia State juco ranks, finding a long and speedy pass-rusher in this class was a priority for the Bulldogs, especially with two seniors in the current defensive end rotation for 2019.
Lawson's frame has been compared to the likes of former Bulldog Montez Sweat and it's easy to see why. The South Carolina native still has more room to add muscle to his frame and that has already been a point of emphasis for Lawson this offseason.

BENJAMIN KEY
Position: Defensive Tackle/Strong-side Defensive End
Rank: 3-star (247Sports No. 16 juco prospect overall, No. 4 strong-side defensive end, No. 4 juco prospect in state)
High School/Community College: East Los Angeles College
Commitment Date: April 30, 2019
Teams(s) to watch for: Southern Cal, UCLA, Oregon
Key is one of the most intriguing commitments in the Mississippi State class thus far. The Australian native and Samoan has only played two years of football and that includes his first season of juco ball last fall. He played defensive end and defensive tackle in last year's juco debut season and is expected to be an interior player on the defensive line for the Bulldogs. Still learning the game, his quickness and strength serve him well in the trenches and should do so in the SEC, as well.
DAVONTAE MCCRAE AND JO'QUAVIOUS MARKS
(Photo: Andrew Ivins, 247Sports)
High School/Community College: East Mississippi Community College
Commitment Date: May 20, 2019
Teams(s) to watch for: Arizona, Colorado
Mississippi State has encountered a lot of success with reverse transfers in the past few recruiting classes and are hoping for the same with McCrae. He is a former N.C. State transfer that arrived in the Magnolia State juco ranks in March. He could also end up on the interior of the defensive line at the next level and that just depends on his growth. McCrae redshirted last year at N.C. State so he will have three years to play three at Mississippi State.
4-star RB Jo'Quavious Marks (Photo: 247Sports)
Rank: 4-star (247Composite No. 163 overall, No. 14 running back, No. 18 in state)
Height and Weight: 5-10, 190
High School/Community College: Carver (Ga.) High School
Teams(s) to watch for: Florida State, Penn State, North Carolina, Louisville
Marks has been a long-time target for the Bulldogs and a major need in this class, particularly based on his position and the lack of elite running backs in Mississippi State's previous two recruiting classes. His vision and speed stand out on film and Marks has maintained his speed with added weight over the past year or so. Marks is also an early high school graduate and will enroll in January of 2020.
TAMARION MCDONALD AND CAMERON THREATT
Tamarion McDonald (Photo: David Johnson, 247Sports)
Rank: 3-star (247Composite No. 917 overall, No. 66 outside linebacker, No. 32 prospect in state)
High School/Community College: Whitehaven (Tenn.) High School
Recruiting Coach: Chris Marve
Teams(s) to watch for: LSU, Ole Miss
Linebacker is a major priority for the Bulldogs in the Class of 2020 and McDonald was the first linebacker to join the class in late May. He plays more of a rover linebacker position for Whitehaven and serves many roles on that star-studded defense in the Memphis ranks. McDonald is likely to stick at linebacker at the next level due to having a frame that can add more weight.
Cameron Threatt (Photo: Steve Robertson, 247Sports)
Rank: (247Composite No. 56 cornerback, No. 20 prospect in state)
High School/Community College: Lewisburg High School
Commitment Date: June 1, 2019
Teams(s) to watch for: Kentucky, Louisville
Threatt played a variety of roles for Lewisburg last season and that is the norm for guys with his athleticism. But his mentality, without a doubt, suits him best at cornerback. He plays with that edge needed on 'the island' and isn't afraid to enter the box to slow down the running game. Threatt still has to get stronger and add more weight but his instincts at corner are exactly what the Bulldogs need in the future.

BLAKE LARGENT '22 |STAFF WRITER • As the beginning of the season approaches for the Wabash lacrosse team, many new faces will be a part of the team this season. In addition to having eight freshmen on the roster, the team will be led by a newly selected head coach; Tim O'Shea.
O'Shea, who has coached at many high schools and colleges across the country, has taken over as head coach after the departure of former head coach Todd Richardson, who led the team to a 2-13 record last season. But, despite last season's record, O'Shea spoke of the confidence he has in his team.
O'Shea also spoke on some of the expectations he has for the team this season.
While O'Shea expressed his confidence in his team, as well as their ability to improve each and every day, he also acknowledged the challenges accompanied with having a new head coach.
While speaking about beginning the season, O'Shea set the tone not only for the first game against Calvin College but for the rest of the season.
on February 16 at 11 a.m. in the morning. Come out and support the LIttle Giants at Fischer Field. Let's go Wabash! WAF!


U Can't Anvil The Truth: Diet Soft Drinks Exposed...ASPARTAME...GMO's You Should Not Consume!!!
Diet Soft Drinks Exposed...ASPARTAME...GMO's You Should Not Consume!!!
So....You're on a diet and you were told to lower your intake of sugar. You head for the marketplaces and pick up the most advertise diet products that you've been programmed to buy which are diet sodas from big name companies.
After consuming the diet sodas for a while...you begin to notice your eyesight weakens and you have no idea why this is happening assuming that its a natural progression in life. Your newly worn eyeglasses would be a fashion statement but what if someone told you that your wearing glasses is directly related to your consumption of diet sodas.
It should be noted that diet sodas containing ASPARTAME should be banned from your daily intake. And if you're trying to best the heat as outlined in my earlier blog and you thought that drinking diet sodas would be an alternative to sugared sodas....think again. I'd advise cautions when it come to drinking diet sodas from any companies...you'll have to be aware of all those ingredients that are in these products. I'd drink 100% fruit juices or grab a banana or other fresh fruits...it's your best and all natural choice.
Educate yourself to what ASPARTAME is and everyone should be eating and drinkying foods that are natural in your environment.....so eat and drink healthy!!!


$10,000 Hometown Grant awarded to Dennis C. Haley Pilot School by New England Patriots!
On Tuesday September 25th, the New England Patriots Foundation and New England Dairy & Food Council showed their continued commitment to child health and wellness by awarding Dennis C. Haley Pilot School with a $10,000 Hometown Grant. The funds will be used towards enhancing the K-8 school's wellness environment through health focused-initiatives and the Fuel Up to Play 60 program.
The school held a Hometown Grant celebration that kicked off with the arrival of New England Patriots players Derek Rivers #95, Dwayne Allen #83, Deatrich Wise Jr. #91, Adam Butler #70, Patriots and Pro Football Hall of Famer Andre Tippett, Patriot cheerleaders, and Pat Patriot on a team bus. Following that, the $10,0000 check was presented at a school-wide assembly.
During the assembly, students heard from a variety of guests, including Tippett, Haley Pilot Principal Kathleen Sullivan, Massachusetts Dairy Farmer Sharon Kimball from Cherry Hill Farm in Lunenburg, Executive Director of Food and Nutrition Services at Boston Public Schools Laura Benavidez and New England Dairy & Food Council's Director of Youth Wellness Programs Erin Wholey.
Following the assembly, students rotated through fun and engaging team-building and physical activities, some of which were led by the guests, like the football relay led by the Patriots players, and "Moo or False" trivia led by Massachusetts dairy farmer Sharon Kimball.
The excitement of the students and staff at Haley Pilot school was palpable during the day's events.
"We are excited to become involved with Fuel Up to Play 60 here because student leadership is an important part of our values. With this grant we can further support our school wellness goals and engage our students in the process," said Principal Sullivan.
The Hometown Grant program was created by Fuel Up to Play 60 and the National Football League (NFL) to identify deserving schools and assist them in reaching their wellness goals. Developed by National Dairy Council, local Dairy Councils, and National Football League, in collaboration with United States Department of Agriculture, the Fuel Up to Play 60 program is the nation's largest in-school and student-driven wellness program reaching nearly 74,000 schools – more than 3,500 of those are right here in New England. For more information about Fuel Up to Play 60 in New England, follow New England Dairy & Food Council on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and visit NewEnglandDairyCouncil.org.

A: There are many ways to make Object stop immediately after collison. I will give you two ways:
Method 1:
Set the velocity of the Rigidbody to 0 when you detect a collison.
If the object is also rotating, set the angularVelocity to 0 too.
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
    if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
    {
        Rigidbody rbdy = collision.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

        //Stop Moving/Translating
        rbdy.velocity = Vector3.zero;

        //Stop rotating
        rbdy.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero;
    }
}

Method 2:
Use Physic Material to control the amount of friction during collison.
Go to Assets > Create > Physic Material
Change the Bounciness to 0.
Change the Dynamic and Static Frictions to values equals or more than 1.

Then attach it to the Material slot on your Collider.

I was raised in an "either/or" world. And while that may sometimes be helpful, it often is not. I've found that I'm often better served taking a "both/and" approach. That is certainly the case when it comes to science and faith.
Seems like most of the current dialogue shouting match sees the whole thing as Science vs. Faith. That's because of the attitudes of people on both sides of the issue. There's a take no prisoners kind of spirit that sees the whole thing as a battlefield.
A good reminder, since fear seems to be what drives most discussions fracases today over all sorts of topics: religion, politics, etc. You can find the Op-Ed by clicking here.

Why am I getting stomach aches from coffee?
I've always drank a lot of coffee. But more recently I've had to give up my morning cup for tea because sometimes drinking coffee on an empty stomach would make me feel a little nauseous. I still usually drink a cup in the evenings.
Now, though, it seems like I can't drink coffee at all without feeling nauseous, and also getting bad stomach aches.
Could I have developed an allergy? Or an intolerance?
I don't know the answer, but I can say that I had to stop drinking coffee after having been a coffee fetishist for many, many years. I bought green estate beans, and roasted them myself, just to give you an idea how involved I was in my coffee. I really miss it. I hope whatever is bothering you is temporary.
Coffee is quite acidic, so that may be the culprit here.
Some people use a cold brew method for their coffee and this eliminates about 70% of the acid.
You could give that a try and see if it works better for you.
There was a previous thread here several days ago on cold water brewing for more info.
I always feel sick after drinking coffee, and I think it is the caffeine content. I get the same upset stomach feeling after drinking energy drinks with extraordinary caffeine content. Tea has less caffeine. It is the only thing I can think of because I can drink soda and be fine so it can't be the acid. Coffee is not as acidic as soda.
Yeah, I didn't really think about how acidic it was.
It's not the caffeine with me. I drink a lot of other caffeinated things.
Do you drink cream or creamer with your coffee?? That can easily turn a stomach!?
I have acid reflux and take medication for it everyday. the first few things the Dr. told me were 1) you can't eat anything 4 hours before bed and 2) stop drinking coffee, if you must only in the mornings, not at night. Coffee irritates the lining of the stomach.
I found that when I drink highly processed coffee, like Folgers or anything that comes from the grocery, I have the same problem. I do much better with microroasted blends that I grind myself. I think it's the chemicals on an empty stomach.
I've never been able to drink coffee. It makes me really sick. I'm a tea totaller.
That happens to at times too. I believe it's probably the acididy of the coffee.
I feel like I should say something clever.
We're all waiting. I think it's mandated by that name.
The acid in black coffee van upset my stomach. I have to use a little half & half. The cold brew mentioned above reduces the acid too.
My guess is that it's not the coffee at all.
Coffee makes me sick too. It's definitely the acid. I realized it because when I drank some milk afterward, I felt fine. So I started mixing mine with half milk. I can drink the same amount of coffee in the same amount of time and not feel sick at all when I do it that way.
I'm intrigued by this cold brew method, though! Do you just pour cold water over ground coffee, or is there more to it than that?
@squidcake Perhaps the creamer or cream is not sitting well in your belly and is the main reason I don't regularly use cream in my coffee. Try cutting it out and see if your symptoms disappear.
The darker the roast, the less acidic the coffee. You may want to try a nice French roast, those have been my favorite as of late.
I own and run a top rated coffee shop and have this conversation a lot and have found that many of our guest find that it is not the "acidity" but the "rancidity" that is not sitting well in their stomachs.
So where do you go from here? Look for local roasters where you can get your beans freshly roasted. Look for a roast date on the packaging and try to drink your coffee within 2 weeks of that roast date for optimal freshness and flavor. Don't just go straight for the "bold" or "dark roasted" coffee as dark roast was really just invented to burn impurities out of the beans and unless done very well can just destroy your coffee.
You can also shop online with some of the best roasters in the nation who will ship it out to you the day of or the day after they roast.

The Little Drummer Bird

Adirondack Life, May/June 1990
After an absence of three weeks (I had been in Peru, which seemed on the verge of plunging into chaos and anarchy), I reached my home -a small log cabin high in the Adirondacks -late in the night of last April 30. The deep, undisturbed sleep I immediately sank into, which I'd been looking forward to for days, was destined to last only a few hours. A little after five, as the sky and the woods outside were filling with weak light, there was a deafening tattoo on my metal roof, toward the front of the cabin. It sounded just like a short burst of machine-gun fire, and my first, disoriented thought, as I shot up from my bed, was, "My God! The coup!" But then the familiar interior of the cabin came into focus, and I realized I was no longer in Lima, and that there wasn't a soul for miles around except my neighbor down the hill, an old woman who wouldn't hurt a fly except people who were cruel to animals. So what on earth could that have been? I wondered. Whatever it was, it had stopped, and I lay back down and was soon dead to the world again.But no sooner had I dropped off than there was another staccato volley on the roof, this time right over the loft, where I was sleeping. The effect was someone smacking a metal bar on a metal helmet that you are wearing. The burst started out fast, like a maniacal drum roll, then it wound down until there were definite spaces between strikes, and it lasted in all no more than a few seconds. By the time I had wrapped my pillow around my head it was over. Fifteen minutes later there was another round of earsplitting, jackhammer stutters, this time back at the front of the roof, then after about the same interval they exploded over the loft again. I grabbed a shoe and banged the ceiling, and they stopped short. By now I had guessed what was making them -a woodpecker. It had to be a pileated, I figured -the gorgeous, red-crested species that gouges great oblong cavities out of rotten trees in search of carpenter ants. Only a pileated could make such an incredible din, and I'd seen one several times in the past few months lurking around the cabin. Furthermore, I knew from the small heaps of sawdust that I'd found on the floor below several of the exposed beams that I had a carpenter-ant problem. As soon as the next bout began I dashed down from the loft, out the sliding glass door to the deck and around to the back of the cabin in time to see a black bird swoop from the eaves over to a poplar tree perhaps fifty yards away. It was a woodpecker, all right, but not a pileated. Pileateds are around twenty inches long. This bird was more like eight. I looked over the woodpecker plates and texts in my Peterson's field guide and decided it was a hairy. The size was right, and there had been a flash of white as the bird flew off; Peterson describes the hairy as "our only woodpecker with a white back." The identification seemed even surer when my neighbor told me that she had been driven to distraction a few years back by a hairy excavating a nest under the eaves of her bedroom.
The bird would start attacking my roof every morning punctually at daybreak and every fifteen minutes or so, until around 11:30, he would return for another session. The attacks would come less frequently during the after
noon, and would pick up again toward evening. I was turning into a sleepless, shell-shocked wreck, becoming like a victim of water torture. I called my agent down in New York City and told him about the bird. "There's this bird that has a thing for my metal roof and it's driving me nuts, driving me back to the city," I said, and my agent said, without missing a beat, "Oh, you mean that woodpecker. We sent it up there to make sure you get up on time."
A few days later I got my first look at the little bugger. I crept around to the back of the cabin and there it was, clinging to the eaves and bracing itself with its stiff, spiny tail. Too absorbed in what it was about to do to be spooked this time, it threw its head back and with wild abandon launched into another of its frenzied pecking sprees. It was amazing that it didn't split its bill because it wasn't drilling the wood, it was going at the edge of the galvanized metal sheet. I realized from its bright-red throat that it wasn't a hairy. It was a yellow-bellied sapsuckera shy, retiring member of the woodpecker tribe that frequents orchards; one sees the horizontal rows of oozing holes it bores in apple trees much more often than one sees the bird. Yellow-bellied is one of those unfortunate labels that animals often get stuck with; one hardly ever sees the sapsucker's belly. Its whitish back and white wing patches are far more conspicuous (hence my confusion about the white flash). That afternoon a builder came up from the valley to discuss a wing that I was planning to put on the cabin, and he saw and heard the sapsucker, too. Now there was a witness. It wasn't just me, wacking out up on the mountain. "Jesus! What a racket!" the builder exclaimed. "He's possessed. I can't believe he doesn't get a headache."
There seemed to be a difference of opinion among the professionals as to what this strange behavior was all about. One of the many ornithologists whom I consulted in the stressed-out days that followed told me that woodpeckers are sometimes attracted to houses by the hum of their refrigerators, which they mistake for a sign of insect life. The majority, however, thought I was being subjected to a phenomenon known as "drumming." According to Peterson, "the drumming of the sapsucker is distinctive, several rapid thumps followed by several slow rhythmic ones"; but according to Chandler S. Robbins, Bertel Bruun and Herbert S. Zim, the authors of the Golden Guide to the Birds of North America, "sapsuckers tap in distinctive rhythms (two or three series/min) but do not drum." My friend Roger Pasquier, a crackerjack birder and the author of Watching Birds: An Introduction to Ornithology, who agreed with Peterson that sapsuckers drum, explained that it was something "which woodpeckers do in the breeding season to attract a mate and to stake out their territory. Often they choose man-made objects that reverberate. All I can say is that the drumming season isn't that long."
So that's what it was: drumming. The expression "drumming up business" came to mind, and a few days later I happened to read in a biography of Sam Goldwyn, the Hollywood mogul, how soon after he arrived in the United States, a penniless Polish immigrant named Goldfish, he got a job as a "drummer," or a trctveling salesman, for a glove company. These cognitive exercises helped, psychologically. The first step in dealing with a situation is to get a handle on it.
Pasquier recommended that I get in touch with Lester Short, the renowned woodpecker specialist at the American Museum of Natural History. My call to the museum's ornithology department was answered by a scientific assistant named Allison Andors, who told me that Dr. Short was in Kenya. I explained my problem and just then, serendipitously, the sapsucker made one of his assaults, which was so loud that Dr. Andors could hear it over the phone. "I suspect that what the bird is doing is drumming," he said cautiously. He explained that woodpeckers drum in late April though May and stop in June, when they nest. This was heartening news, because I had just seen the sapsucker drilling a hole the size of a fifty-cent piece in a dying birch next to the cabin. "So it won't be long now," I thought.
A few days later a package from Dr. Andors arrived in the mail. Inside was a Xerox of the section on the yellow-bellied sapsucker in Dr. Short's monumental Woodpeckers of the World. According to Short, the drumming of this species is "complex," and takes "several forms," some bouts lasting up to eight seconds and having as many as ten double beats per second. The bird also emits a call note, "chee-aa" or "c-waan," that "peaks initially at 1.3" kilohertz" (which I think I heard several times). It is not a permanent resident this far north, but is what is known in the local parlance as a "summer person." One of the first birds to arrive in the spring, it starts south again in late August and winters in the southern U.S., Central America and the West Indies.
Dr. Andors also included an article by a man named Lawrence Kilham who logged many hours in the field between 1951 and 1960 observing the breeding behavior of yellow-bellied sapsuckers in New Hampshire and Maryland. Kilham reported that the drumming "begins rapidly but is drawn out like a slow, telegraphic code: drr:a-da, da-da, da." He had seen the birds do it on "a piece of metal, the hard, warped bark of a dead maple, or, most frequently, a stub that projects a few inches from the trunk of a dead pine or larch." In April 1960, when the woods around T amworth, New Hampshire, were still filled with snow, he watched a rival male drum on the glass insulators along a row of telephone poles. Females have also been known to drum, but rarely. (I only saw this one bird doing it. At least there was something to be grateful for.)
The next question, now that I had all this knowledge under my belt, was what to do about the situation. Here again, I got a range of opinions. Pasquier suggested putting up a papier-mache' owl. Another source of questionable expertise recommended plastering the bird's drumming spots with Tabasco sauce. One of the guys in the bar down in the valley, where I was becoming a regular patron, said, "You know what we'd do, don't you," and offered to lend me his .22. But shooting the bird was definitely out. My inclination was to put up with it. As my neighbor, who had done nothing about the hairy excavating her bedroom eaves, argued, "Think of everything the animals have to put up with from us."
The only strategy left, now that I had decided to live with the situation, was to try to change my relationship to it. It was, after all, I told myself, a natural sound, no less natural than the drumming of a grouse who stands on a log and flails his wings, producing a sound like a distant motor. Try to get into it. Think of all the people who live near the el, I reminded myself. A friend came from Montreal for the weekend, and her take was, "Why should you mind the woodpecker? There are no cars, no other noises." These considerations made the drumming more tolerable.
I suppose I could have rented a room in the valley for the duration of the drumming season, but so many things were happening on the mountain that I didn't want to miss. I began to see the sapsucker's taking its surging hormones out on my roof in context, as part of the surge of biological activity in which the North Woods progresses from dormancy to the lushness of summer. Drumming through the advance of spring, the sapsucker became like a choric figure. It drummed through the melting of the snow, when the only other sounds in the bare, empty woods were the piercing whistles of unmated chickadees. It drummed through mud-time, through the emergence of the black bears (late one night driving up to the cabin I caught one in my headlights lumbering across the road) and of the mourning cloak and Compton's tortoise-shell butterflies from their winter hibernacula, and later through the hatching of clouds of black flies. It drummed through the changing of the snowshoe hares' coats from white to brown, through the flowering of the trilliums and the poplars, whose fluff drifted through the woods for several days. It drummed in the arrival of the purple finches, the warblers and the wood thrushes, whose liquid fluting was soon resounding on the hillsides. It drummed through all kinds of weather -sundrenched days of crystalline clarity, days when it was drowned out by great gobs of rain pounding on the metal roof. It drummed through the leafing out of the hardwoods and the excavation of the foundation hole for the cabin's new wing by the builder's bulldozer and Caterpillar, which must have robbed it of a good chunk of its territory.
The drumming didn't stop all at once: It slowly petered out. As May progressed, the visits to the roof became less frequent, less urgent, more desultory and perfunctory. On June 1right on schedule -there was not a drum. I knew the sapsucker was still around because a few days later it flew into the cabin through the open sliding glass door and it took several hours, resting on the cathedral ceiling between frantic swoops, to find its way back out.
Apparently the sapsucker has gotten down to the next order of business raising a family -although I haven't seen its mate yet. The drumming has served its purpose. I kind of miss it.

Drinking hot cocoa by your fireplace isn't the only way to get warm during the colder winter months. Shifting the contents of your yoga practice toward postures that heat and stimulate the fire within will keep your Agni strong. Agni, or digestive fire, isn't just vital for digesting food and nutrients, but for keeping alive the fires of passion, discipline, and willpower.
Just as the fire element can transform energy from one of its forms to another, the fire within you processes events, experiences, and emotions, keeping the drive to live consciously and fully strong and forward-moving. The following asanas (hatha yoga postures) support this process by heating the body, stoking your digestive power, and strengthening your ability to focus and stay sharp.
To bring more awareness to your belly and breath, try these two variations of Child's Pose.
First, slide your arms through and back between your knees, so your hands end up between your ankles.
Place your forehead on the floor; tuck your chin slightly so you can breathe free and clear through your nose.
Take a few deep breaths all the way down to your belly.
Then, release your arms to the outside of your shins, moving into a classical form of the pose.
You can cup your heels from the outside, or flip your wrists to cup them from the inside.
Allow your belly to press down onto your thighs, so you have some effortless compression of your abdomen. If your head doesn't quite touch the ground when doing the pose in this manner, slide a block underneath your forehead.
As you move through your Sun Salutations, bring your awareness to the breath and create a slight constriction in the back of the throat. Just a few rounds of Surya Namaskar with this Ujjayi breath will increase your body temperature, get your blood pumping, and stoke that flame. Each time you reach up to the sky, honor the sun above you and each time you bow in toward yourself, honor the sun within you in the solar plexus. Adding the visualization of the sun into the sequence will continue to bring up the heat.
If you only have time to do one pose to get your circulation moving and turn up the inner heat, Utkatasana is it. You'll be amazed what five to 10 breaths in this pose will do for your inner fire.
Bring your big toe mounds to touch with a slight space between your heels; this keeps your legs parallel to one another.
Squeezing your knees toward one another, send your weight back and down, as if you were sitting into a chair.
Extend your arms up alongside your ears or straight out ahead of you at shoulder-height if you have any shoulder restriction.
Slightly scoop the tailbone down toward the floor to fire up the abdominal muscles.
As you continue the Ujjayi breath in and out through your nose, imagine your body in the shape of a lightning bolt, and let that powerful imagery move through your system.
Transitioning from four limbs to two limbs challenges your focus, equilibrium, and strength. It requires a firm and active center to hold the pose together.
From your hands and knees, extend one arm forward with the thumb pointing up, as if you were shaking someone's hand.
Extend the opposite leg back, and try to find a straight line of energy between your lifted arm and leg. As you do so, further connect to your core by hugging your limbs back into their respective sockets.
Breathe smoothly and fully as you hold stillness in the pose for five full rounds on each side.
If you want greater challenge in the pose, try it again with the same arm and leg lifted.
These two variations of the familiar Downward-Facing Dog pose challenge your balance and require added focus and finesse.
It helps to take a slightly shorter and wider stance than you usually would.
Thread your right arm to the outside of your left leg with your thumb facing up.
Use your arm strength to pull your chest through and look under your left armpit toward the ceiling.
Then repeat on the second side.
Lift one leg at a time as high as you can without letting the hip open out to the side.
Keep the toes pointing down and roll your outer hip down.
It can be tempting to use momentum to kick your leg up, but to really feed your inner flame, move very slowly, and try to hold the lifted leg up behind you for five to seven breaths.
Another option is to lift and lower your bottom heel a few times as you keep the lifted leg skyward.
This progression of lunge twists is meant to build up your stamina and increasingly promote compression and detoxification of your internal organs, including your digestive track.
From Down Dog, begin by stepping your right foot forward to an active lunge, and lift your left hand high to the ceiling.
Lean back, so your spine eases into the twist.
Jump switch to the second side, and repeat. For the second round, come upright into a high lunge, bring your hands to prayer position, and cross your left elbow to the opposite knee.
As you press down with your bottom elbow, draw the belly in and up, simultaneously twisting from the heart space.
Release your hands to the floor on an inhalation, and jump switch to the second side to repeat. For the third round, start with the prayer hands version, but cross the armpit around the thigh, rather than just the elbow; this will get you into a deeper twist.
Extend your arms, bringing the bottom fingertips to the earth, and take the top arm alongside the ear with the palm face down.
Although it will be more challenging to breathe deeply in this position (your lungs are quite compressed), do your best to breathe smoothly and evenly for a few rounds.
Again, jump switch to the second side to complete the series.
Rest in Child's Pose when you are done.
This powerful arm balance is at once beautiful and bold. The reliance on a fiery solar plexus will make the pose feel empowering and reduce a sense of heaviness in the hips.
Take a deep breath and reconnect to your center.
Pass through plank position (top of a push-up) and come to balance on the outer edge of your bottom foot and a flat palm.
Keep the hips lifted, and the bottom shoulder on the back plane of the body.
Keeping all 10 toes pointed in the same direction as your naval, lift your top leg up about 18 inches, and gently lower it back down.
Do this three to five times, and then gently release to plank to move into the second side.
This pose is aptly named Firelog pose, as the two shins stack on top of one another like a pile of fire logs.
Try to vertically line up the soles of the feet with the opposite knee; however, if your hips won't accommodate this degree of depth, simply cross your shins one in front of the other.
Breathe in deeply to the bottoms of your lungs and as you exhale, fold forward over your shins, bringing your forearms to the ground.
Allow the breath to help you to process and digest any sensations you are feeling.
Repeat on the second side after you have experienced around 10-12 breaths.
The colder weather can either keep you cooped up or can be a call to align with nature. The more you move and keep your fires burning bright, the healthier you will be on every level. Like a bellows feeds the flame with air, pranayama, asana, and meditation will feed the flame with awareness and vitality.

Bahlsen Design Vision
Produkt Brand Design and Packaging Sprints 2017
In 2017, the process for the further development of the Bahlsen Group's diversified brand presence began. This was launched and implemented by our valued partner, the brand strategy consulting firm SasserathMunzinger+ from Berlin. Mutabor was on board as design partner. The goal was the innovative modernization of the family-run business Bahlsen and its diverse brands with a commitment both to its own tradition and also to the future and its long-term challenges, especially in the food market. Aside from the Group Brand (which later emerged from this process in a redesigned form as Bahlsen Family), the focus was also on the well-known product brands, including Leibniz, PickUp and, of course, Bahlsen. The challenge was to identify the values and lived principles that will support the Bahlsen framework in the future, and the potentials that lie dormant in the brands of the Group.
The kickoff took place in summer 2017 with a multi-day workshop with the entire Bahlsen Executive Board in San Fransisco under the direction of SasserathMunzinger+ — which, as many are unaware, is not only the Mecca for digital transformation, but also for new food startups. In this setting, the potential of the brands, their values and their implementation were explored in new strategic concepts, and concrete, tangible designs were explored in various start-up deep dives, strategy sessions and design sprints. As a distinctive feature, the time shift allowed Mutabor teams in Hamburg and San Fransisco to work on the project in parallel, which delivered an enormous output in a short time. For example, decisions could be directly implemented into new proposals almost overnight, which were already waiting for the next iteration decision by the next morning. This integrative design workshop approach has become a model for effective and fast co-creation with our customers.
In addition to the impetus for the renaming and further development of the Bahlsen Group to the Bahlsen Family brand with the new core focus »Creating & Crafting Good since 1889«, a particular focus was also placed on the 'blue' core product brands. Here, MUTABOR provided many insights in several design sprints in San Francisco and Hamburg, as well as later in further iteration stages for Bahlsen in 2017, on how the brand should be perceived in the future in packaging design and brand presence. Our clear recommendation: amplify the lettering of the Bahlsen core branding assets (based on the signature of founder Hermann Bahlsen) and the iconic TET seal into a striking, consistent visual concept with maximum shelf & e-commerce impact. Today, we are discovering the value of visionary design sprints and how they help innovation-minded companies to make the right decisions for the future.
The iconic signature
In 1928, artist and designer Martel Schwichtenberg created the Bahlsen brand mark that endures to this day, based on Hermann Bahlsen's signature. We use this iconic signature in a slightly adapted and optimized form as a defining element of the packaging that ties in with that history.
The TET sign: Everlasting
The original Egyptian hieroglyph TET, consisting of an oval, a snake, a semicircle, and three dots, is pronounced 'Dschet' and means 'Everlasting'. We use the icon developed for the Group Brand as a symbolic seal over the opening, just as it has been used on historical Bahlsen packaging.
The future of good food
In 2017, together with Werner Bahlsen and under the direction of SasserathMunzinger+, we developed the current face of 'The Bahlsen Family' in a workshop in San Francisco, and worked on the vision for the Bahlsen product brand.

Cultural orientation is the degree to which individuals actively engage in certain parts of culture (food, music, language, media, celebrations, etc.). It provides marketers with concrete measures on how Hispanics are adopting the American culture relative to their native culture. In addition, cultural orientation is different from acculturation, which relies on proxy variables (i.e., language) – and should not replace it.


It is hard to explain the feeling of driving an SUV that combines luxury, comfort and designer styling. But you have it all in the recently refreshed 2018 Acura MDX and MDX Sport Hybrid. The third-generation MDX has long been anticipated, but it's here now at Silverhill Acura. With the same winning powertrain and a finely tuned power plant for superior performance and efficiency, this capable SUV can drive you from coast to coast across Canada.
Already people are taking notice of this new Acura, with AJAC (Automobile Journalists Association of Canada) giving the 2018 MDX their coveted "Best Large Premium Utility Vehicle in Canada for 2018" award. Read on to discover what the new 2018 MDX is all about, or come into our South Calgary dealership to test drive one today!
The latest version of the MDX is here and ready to show you what it means to be a luxury SUV. The front fascias is bolder than ever since Acura has redesigned the grille and headlights. The rest of the vehicle's exterior was also updated to add sharper edges and a more aggressive, aerodynamic look inspired by Acura's Precision concept car. Chrome detailing and alloy wheels add a certain elegance to the exterior, making it look more like the true luxury SUV it is.
It's not all about cosmetic changes; the bumper has been improved too and the new LED taillights offer better visibility from the rear. The new MDX is designer styled to stand out from the crowd, but also to stand out better on the road.
The 2018 MDX offers seating adorned with premium leather for a more luxurious feel, and genuine wood trimming that makes the interior much more gorgeous to scan over. The dash has been fully redesigned, incorporating an upgraded infotainment system with a larger touchscreen and more tech like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The cabin comfortably accommodates 7 adults spread over a 3-row seating arrangement, and a telescopic steering wheel offers customizable comfort for drivers.
The standard MDX has the same 3.5-L V6 at 290 hp and 267 lb.-ft. of torque, offering 10.7L/100km combined fuel economy which is very impressive and top-tier for luxury SUVs. The SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) option is also available, and 0-60 in the 2018 MDX takes only 7.5 seconds.
The 2018 MDX Sport Hybrid pulls up to the starting line and features the innovative three-motor Sport Hybrid SH-AWD powertrain alongside the Acura NSX supercar and RLX flagship sedan. A 3.0-litre DOHC V6 with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), an integrated electric motor, and a Twin Motor Unit power the MDX Sport Hybrid, giving you the ultimate in both power and control. The system also delivers electrified torque vectoring for superior straight-line performance and precision cornering for unparalleled driver engagement and a true racecar feel. Outshining it's gasoline counterpart; 321 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque is what you'll get out of the new MDX Sport Hybrid.


Cupping is used to release Qi and blood stasis from the meridians and surrounding tissue. If done properly, cupping can be an invigorating deep tissue massage and often, the benefits last longer than a standard massage session. The technique is performed by a therapist, who creates suction with glass cups. Muscle tissue is then inverted and pulled upwards due to the suction. The cups can be placed stationary or can be glided throughout the treatment lasting 5-10 minutes. Once cupping is finished, there will be varying degree of color over the tissues ranging from pink red, to red, purple, and dark purple. The darker color indicates less oxygen flow within the tissue causing stagnation of blood. Depending on the severity of the tissue, duration of discoloration can range from 3-10 days. Once the color has disappeared, the tissue can then be cupped again. You will notice a decrease in discoloration after multiple sessions.
Are the cupping marks same as bruising?
Bruising is caused by impact trauma, resulting in the breakage of capillaries and a reactionary rush of fluids to the damaged location. Correctly applied cupping does not compress the tissues.
The discoloration seen after a cupping session indicates the restoration of blood flow to the tissue that was previously experiencing sluggish blood circulation. It is a local build-up of your body's waste products, such as dead, static blood, lymph, cellular debris, and toxins.
The release of toxins such as calcium deposits and cellular debris.
Veins, arteries, and capillaries are cleared out.
Reduced pain and softened muscle tissue.
The release of adhesion, increasing flexibility.
Relief of congestion of mucus from respiratory conditions.

Before we get into the Medicaid Community Spouse Resource Allowance, we should first explain why Medicaid can be relevant to retirees who were never financially needy.
If you work throughout your life and pay FICA taxes, you earn retirement credits. You can gain up to four credits each year, and you will qualify for Medicare when you have at least 40 credits. The age of eligibility is 65 at the present time.
You may assume that Medicare will pick up the tab if you ever need nursing home care. This may be a logical assumption, but in fact, Medicare does not pay for custodial care. Medicaid does pay for long-term care, and this is why it is relevant to many people who qualified for Medicare coverage.
Because Medicaid is a need-based program, there is an upper asset limit of $2000 for an individual applicant. This is a very small number, but some things are not considered to be countable assets. Your home is not a countable asset, and this is a very big factor to take into consideration.
Plus, if you are married and you need long-term care while your spouse does not, your spouse is entitled to certain rights with regard to shared, countable assets. The healthy spouse is called the community spouse in Medicaid lingo, and the healthy partner is entitled to a Medicaid Community Spouse Resource Allowance. This would be half of the couple's shared countable assets.
There is a limit on the Medicaid Community Spouse Resource Allowance. In the state of Connecticut, the limit is $119,220 during the current calendar year.
In addition to the maximum resource allowance limit, there is also a minimum that allows the healthy spouse to keep no less than a certain amount of money, even if this figure is more than half of the total countable assets. The limit in our state is $23,844 in 2015.
We have answered a single question about Medicaid planning in this blog post. Given the fact that long-term care is so very expensive, you should get an understanding of how Medicaid can help if you are planning ahead for your elder years.
Our firm has prepared a comprehensive special report on Medicaid planning. This in-depth report is free of charge, and it will provide you with a solid foundation of information to work with going forward. To get your copy of the special report, click this link and follow the simple instructions: Hartford CT Medicaid Planning.
Responsible people who want to be fully prepared for the eventualities of aging should certainly discuss the current lay of the land with a licensed elder law attorney. If you would like to do just that, our firm can help. We offer free consultations, and you can contact us through this page to set up an appointment: Hartford CT Elder Law Attorneys.

Q: Ansible shell command doesn't seem to have access to the user's shell environment Im trying to use a ruby installed via RBENV.  I have confirmed that RBENV works as desired and produces the correct ruby version which can be called via the terminal
ruby -v returns: ruby 3.1.0p0 (2021-12-25 revision fb4df44d16) [x86_64-linux] which is the desired version
bundler -v returns: Bundler version 2.3.10 which is also the desired version.
However the following tasks in my playbook fail
- block:

  - name: 'set ruby version'
    shell: echo eval "$(rbenv init -)" >> ~/.zshrc

  - name: 'set global ruby verison'
    shell: 'rbenv global {{ ruby_version }}'

  - name: 'restart shell'
    shell: $shell

  - name: 'Bundle install'
    shell:
      chdir: "{{ app_path }}"
      cmd: bundle install

  become: yes
  become_user: '{{ deploy_user}}'

I get the following output when trying to execute these tasks in my playbook
fatal: [45.77.186.234]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "bundle install", "delta": "0:00:00.001967", "end": "2022-03-25 00:33:48.231712", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 127, "start": "2022-03-25 00:33:48.229745", "stderr": "/bin/sh: 1: bundle: not found", "stderr_lines": ["/bin/sh: 1: bundle: not found"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

On the docs page for ansible.builtin.shell the 3rd bullet point under synopsis indicates that the shell command is executed using the user's shell environment.  I can't see anywhere that I'm supposed to define which shell specifically, I wonder if my use of ZSH is where the problem is?
At this point I've tried everything I can think of, and now Im asking for help.  How do I run a shell command against the user's shell environment?

A: I ended up having to execute chained zsh commands to get this to work for me.
- name: Install fastlane gem
  command: zsh -lc "source ~/.zshrc && gem install fastlane"

I didn't have to do this before I updated my MacOS system to 12.3.1, for what it's worth. It seems like some default behavior changed for shell execution.

Curtis Gonzalez found out he wasn't going to graduate on time his junior year.
The senior said he was bored with school and ditching Ocean View High School all the time. He was sent to talk to the principal of Valley Vista High School, who told him he didn't have enough credits to graduate.
"It was definitely an eye-opener," he said. "I realized how much time I've wasted."
He decided to transfer to Valley Vista. He not only caught up on credits, but got ahead. He was given the option to transfer back to Ocean View, but decided against it.
The smaller class sizes and more personal experience cured Gonzalez of his boredom.
He plans to attend Fullerton College and transfer to San Diego State University to get his bachelor's degree in mathematics.
"I'm glad I caught myself before it was too late," he said.

MSU Libraries digitize Civil War diaries and letters (11/22/2016)
MSU Libraries digitize Civil War diaries and letters
The Mississippi State University Libraries has digitized and made available in its Digital Collections the Orville Babcock Diaries and the Letters of Pvt. Arthur McKinstry.
The Babcock and McKinstry materials are a part of the overall Ulysses S. Grant Collection, which is housed at the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library on the first floor of Mitchell Memorial Library at MSU's Starkville campus.
Orville Babcock was a Union Army officer and engineer, eventually becoming General Grant's aide-de-camp late in the Civil War. His diaries begin in 1863, notably including his perspective on the siege of Vicksburg, and continue into 1869. Also included are Babcock's wartime experiences in Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee before finally being summoned to Virginia. Additionally, they contain information regarding his post-war experiences in Washington, D.C., where Babcock served as personal secretary to Grant during his presidency, including his famous mission to Santo Domingo in 1869. This collection also includes supplementary materials of speeches, correspondence, and newspaper clippings.
The diaries were donated to the Grant collection by Merlin E. Sumner prior to the Grant collection's arrival at MSU in 2008.
The letters of Pvt. Arthur McKinstry represent the experience of a young private in the Union Army during the Civil War. McKinstry was faithful to write his mother, aunts, and cousins. He also wrote other letters to his uncles, giving reports and first-hand accounts about Company D, all of which are included. The McKinstry letters were donated to Grant collection by Frances Oakley.
Both the Babcock Diaries and the McKinstry letters are available for viewing at http://www.usgrantlibrary.org/collections/digital and provide additional insights into the life and times of these individuals who served during the Civil War era.
The purpose of the MSU Digital Library is to produce, maintain, preserve, and provide access to digital collections that support the mission of the University and the Libraries. In particular, the Digital Library strives to support teaching, service and research by developing digital projects that provide greater access to Library collections and other unique University holdings. Material continues to be added to existing collections and planning for future digitization projects is ongoing.

Beloved Brewery Coming to the Cape
Posted by Mark Washburn on Wednesday, November 25th, 2020 at 8:44pm
A beloved, Massachusetts-based brewery is headed to the Cape. Tree House Brewing Company plans to open its third location in Sandwich next summer.
Known for brewing some of the state's highest rated beers, Tree House is known for its stouts and American-style IPAs. Tree House was originally founded in 2011, before expanding to a brand-new Charlton facility a few years ago.
What began as simply a one-employee, 55-barrel operation in a garage less than a decade ago has now grown into the production of tens of thousands of barrels each year. Last year the Brewers Association named Tree House one of the nation's fastest growing breweries.
This year the brewery even announced it would be making and selling coffee. The new location in Sandwich plans to include both a brewery and a taproom.
Consumers will be able to buy beer by the glass, as well as purchase Tree House products to go. In addition, the brewery plans to bring in some food trucks.
The newest location is slated to go in by the Sandwich boardwalk, with views overlooking the water and Town Neck Beach. The company recently purchased the former Horizons restaurant on Town Neck Road and plans to transform the property in the coming months into a two-story taproom.
The building has a bit of history, itself. It was originally built and used as barracks for The Army Corp of Engineers while constructing the canal. It was later renovated and turned into a restaurant in the late 1970s.
The Horizons restaurant was in operation for several decades. In more recent years it was called The Drunken Seal.
As for the building's newest owner, Tree House is working to open in Sandwich by summer 2021. In the meantime, Tree House consumers can still order online and do curbside pickup at the company's Charlton location.

Redneck culture is conquering American. First it was NASCAR, then Larry the Cable Guy, now it's um, fishing. Variety says Lionsgate has bought a spec script called The Bass Master, a comedy set in the world of competitive bass fishing.
Lionsgate has been pretty successful lately, so I hate to completely dismiss one of their ideas out of hand but… competitive bass fishing? How do you make a movie out of that? After you use up the obvious guy falls out of the boat gag, where do you go with it? Finding funny in NASCAR is easy, but what's entertaining about guys casting, reeling, and waiting? Looks like it's time to resurrect Big Mouth Billy Bass.
They apparently think they have something. The script, by Ted Murphy (writer of Hunchback of Notre Dame and Atlantis) and Devin Maurer is being produced by Todd Garner.
