Die Fossilien der Fränkischen Alb sind versteinerte Zeugnisse des vielfältigen Lebens von Fauna und Flora an Land, im Wasser und in der Luft der Fränkischen Alb. Sie fossilierten vom Ende der Trias bis zum Ende des Jura. In diesen erdgeschichtlichen Zeiträumen herrschte ein vorwiegend warmes Klima vor, das die Entwicklung des Lebens begünstigte.

Die große Anzahl der Fossilien ist oft in einem beeindruckenden Detaillierungsgrad erhalten. In der nachstehenden Übersicht sind einige von ihnen exemplarisch aufgeführt.

Chronostratigraphische Entwicklung

Die regionalgeologische Entwicklung der Fränkischen Alb begann mit der Absenkung der Frankenalbfurche bzw. Frankenalbmulde, einer Senke der Erdkruste. Diese verläuft vom Grabfeldbecken weiter südöstlich bis zum Einschlagkrater Nördlinger Ries. Vermutlich entwickelte sie sich ab dem Ende des Mittleren Keuper der Germanischen Trias vor ca. 210 Millionen Jahren (abgekürzt mya).

In der weiteren chronostratigraphischen Entwicklung lagerten sich unterschiedliche Sedimentgesteine ab, die Lebensräume für Faunen und  Floren hoher Biodiversität bildeten. Diese sind zum großen Teil als Fossilien erhalten.

Entwicklung in der Trias

Das Fundament der Fränkischen Alb bilden Gesteine der Germanischen Trias. Diese lagerten sich in dem intra-kontinentalen Germanischen Becken ab, das nur zeitweise unter marinen Einfluss stand. In der weiteren geologischen Entwicklung, die mit dem Zerfall des Superkontinents Pangaea ab etwa 230 mya zusammenhängt, gab es gegen Ende des Oberen Keuper  (Rhaetium) (um ca. 205 mya) von Nordwesten kommend einen Meeresvorstoß (Transgression). Die Küste reichte etwa bis zum nördlichen Mittelfranken. Flüsse schütteten mächtige Sedimentablagerungen, die aus klastischen Tonsteinen, Schluffsteinen und Sandsteinen sowie Kalkkrusten und verkieselte Kalksteinen bestehen, in ein weites Flussdelta am Rand eines flaches Becken mit Seen und Sümpfen, das später unter marinen Einfluss geriet. Die Quellgebiete der Schüttungen lagen in der Böhmischen Masse und die mit ihr verbundenen Vindelizischen Schwelle. In der obersten Formation, der Exter-Formation des Oberen Keupers, die sich mit der Trossingen-Formation verzahnt, befinden sich bedeutende Fossilienvorkommen, die neben marine Wirbellosen auch terrestrische bzw. semi-terrestrische lebende Wirbeltiere sowie Pflanzenreste umfassen.

Entwicklung im Jura
Zu Beginn des Unterjura, ab 201,3 mya, dehnte sich das Meer weiter südlich aus und reichte anfänglich bis zur Böhmischen Masse und der Vindelizischen Schwelle. In der weiteren geologischen Entwicklung senkten sich die Landmassen weiter ab und durch Pforten in der Vindelizischen Schwelle strömte Meerwasser des Penninischen Ozeans, ein nördlicher Ausläufer des Tethys Ozeans, auf den südlichen Kontinentalschelf der Europäischen Platte sowie in den süddeutschen Raum. Auf diesem Schelf wurden mächtige Sedimentpakete abgelagert, die sich heute vom Schweizer Jura über die Schwäbische Alb bis zum Norden der Fränkischen Alb erstrecken. Da diese Mittelgebirge die gleiche Entstehungsgeschichte haben, weisen deren Gesteine eine sehr ähnliche Lithostratigraphie auf. Sie werden gegliedert in die drei Gruppen Schwarzer Jura ("Lias"), Brauner Jura ("Dogger") und Weißer Jura ("Malm").

 Der Schwarze Jura (Unterjura 201,3 bis 174,1 mya) bildet die basale Einheit des Jura-Systems und besteht überwiegend aus dunklen Sandsteinen, Tonsteinen, Mergeln und Kalksteinen, die in vielen Formationen und wechselnden Schichten sedimentierten. Die Ablagerung erfolgte bei relativ niedrigem Meeresspiegel oft unter reduzierenden bzw. sauerstofffreien und schwefelwasserstoffhaltigen Bedingungen im Bodenbereich, die zur Schwarzfärbung der Gesteine führten. Die oberen Wasserschichten waren sauerstoffreich und mit vielfältigem Leben bevölkert. Die Sauerstoffarmut im Bodenbereich behinderte die Verwesung abgesunkener organischer Stoffe, und im lebensfeindlichen Milieu konnten keine aasfressenden Organismen existieren, so dass gute Voraussetzungen für Fossilisation vorhanden waren. In der Posidonienschiefer-Formation fand die größte Anreicherung von unoxidierten organischen Substanzen statt, in der auch die bemerkenswertesten Fossilien zu finden sind. Erhalten wurden aquatisch lebende Wirbellose großer Biodiversität, aber auch Wirbeltiere und Pflanzenreste.

 Der Braune Jura (Mitteljura 174,1 bis 163,5 mya) überlagert den Schwarzen Jura. Die bräunliche Farbe zeigt an, dass gegenüber dem Schwarzen Jura vermehrt Sauerstoff zu Oxidation des Eisens zur Verfügung stand, und auch der Meeresspiegel lag höher.  Diese lithostratigraphische Gruppe besteht in der Fränkischen Alb aus drei Formationen, beginnend im Liegenden (unten liegend) mit der Opalinuston-Formation aus Tonen und Tonsteinen, gefolgt von der Eisensandstein-Formation charakterisiert durch eisenoxidhaltige Sandsteine, dem Eisensandstein. Im Hangenden (oben liegend) sedimentierte die Sengenthal-Formation, bestehend aus Tonen, Mergelkalken, Kalksteinen und wieder Tonen in wechselnder Folge während mehrfacher Wechsel zwischen Transgressionen und trockenen Festlandphasen. In der Sengenthal-Formation befinden sich die bedeutendsten Fossillagerstätten, wie z. B. die Macrocephalen-Schicht, die überwiegenden aus den Ammoniten der Gattung Macrocephalites besteht. Fossiliert wurden fast ausschließlich marine Wirbellose, jedoch oft in sehr gutem Erhaltungszustand.

 Während des Oberjura (163,5 bis 145 mya) bildeten sich die mergeligen und carbonatischen Gesteine des Weißen Jura (Malm). Sie weisen drei Sedimentations- und Diagenesefazies auf, die informell als Schichtkalkfazies, Massenkalkfazies und Plattenkalkfazies bezeichnet werden. Sie sind Ausdruck unterschiedlicher Kalkbildung, Kalkbindung und Sedimentation, die infolge des steigenden Meeresspiegels auf einem weiten offenen Schelf erfolgte.

 Die biogen gebildeten und chemogen (chemisch) gefällten Carbonate der Schichtkalkfazies, auch Werkalkfazies oder Bankfazies genannt, wurden im unteren Malm, dem Malm Alpha und Beta, etwa 160  bis 156 mya, abgelagert. Der biogene Anteil stammt im Wesentlichen vom kleinen bis sehr kleinem Plankton, wegen derer Größe auch Mikro- bzw. Nano-Plankton genannt. Die chemogene Fällung der Carbonate wurde vor allem durch Temperatur- und Konzentrationsänderungen des Meerwassers hervorgerufen. Es entstanden feinste mikritische Kalkschlämme, die sich oft zu mächtigen tafelgebankte weißen und mergelbraunen Sedimentpaketen akkumulierten. In die Kalkschlammmatrix wurden oft abgestorbene meist wirbellose Makro-Organismen eingebettet und als Fossilien sehr gut erhalten.

 Die Massenkalkfazies, auch Schwammrifffazies oder Frankenalb-Formation genannt, sedimentierte in Anfängen bereits etwa zeitgleich mit der Schichtkalkfazies, entwickelte sich jedoch überwiegend im mittleren bis oberen Malm Zeta um 150 mya.  Sie repräsentiert eine meist biogene Carbonatbildung, die von Lebewesen mit kalkhaltigen Schalen oder Skeletten des Pelagials, dem uferfernen Freiwasserbereich und dem Benthal, dem Lebensbereich auf und im Ozeanboden stammen. Zu ihnen zählen sowohl die planktonischen Organismen verschiedener Größen als auch die wirbellose Makro-Organismen. Besondere Bedeutung erlangten die Glasschwämme in Verbindung mit mikrobiellen kalkbildenden Organismen. Diese wuchsen anfänglich auf marinen Schwellen oder Erhebungen zu flachen, in die Breite wachsenden biostrome Schwammrasen aus. In der weiteren Entwicklung entstanden bioherme, in die Höhe wachsende Schwammriffe, die mächtige kuppelförmige Gesteinskörper von über 100 m Höhe und mehreren Kilometern in der Flächenausdehnung erzeugten. Die Massenkalkfazies wird daher auch als Schwammriff-Fazies bezeichnet. Sie wurde vielfach sekundär (zu Frankendolomit) dolomitisiert, wodurch das Gesteinsgefüge verändert wurde.

 Eine weitere, aus Sicht der Fossilerhaltung bedeutende Sedimentationsform, ist die Plattenkalkfazies. Sie bildete sich in größeren und kleineren Wannen zwischen den biohermen Schwammrifferhebungen der Massenkalkfazies. Bei hohem Wasserstand herrschte guter Wasseraustausch und gute Wasserumwälzung. Mit temporärer Regression des Meeresspiegels wurde der Wasseraustausch behindert, was zur Stagnation und Sauerstoffarmut des Bodenwassers mit Salzanreicherung führte. Eine Metalimnion, eine Sprungschicht, trennte die Oberflächen- von der Bodenzone. Obere Riffbereiche starben ab, und es bildeten sich Inselgruppen (Archipels) mit Lagunen aus. Am Boden der Lagunen konnten nur entsprechend angepasste Mikroben existieren. Die zu Boden sinkenden schlammigen Sedimente bildeten dort dünne mikritische Schichten, die von Mikroben überwuchert und gleichsam versiegelt wurden. Im Wechsel von Anstieg und Rückgang des Wasserspiegels entstand somit eine Vielzahl von Kalksteinplatten. Absinkende tote Lebewesen konnten von aasfressenden oder zersetzenden Organismen nicht verwertet werden und wurden zwischen den noch weichen Schichten oder in diese eingebettet und mit hervorragendem Erhaltungszustand fossiliert.

Entwicklung in der Kreide
In der Unterkreide (zwischen 145 und 100,5 mya) wurde das heutige Süddeutschland tektonisch gehoben, und die Fränkische Alb wurde Festland. Damit endete das jurassische marine Leben in der Fränkischen Alb.

Leben am Ende der Trias
Der hier betrachtete Zeitraum entspricht dem Norium (228 bis 208,5 mya) und Rhaetium (208,5 bis 201,3 mya).

Fossillagerstätten und Fundorte
In der Fränkischen Alb sind keine triassischen Gesteine aufgeschlossen, in denen Fossilien enthalten sein könnten. Jedoch wurden in unmittelbarer Nähe der Lias-Tongrube von Kalchreuth bei Nürnberg in einem Sandsteinbruch zwischen Buchenbühl, nördlich von Nürnberg, und Kalchreuth mehrere Jura-nahe Fossilien gefunden. Die nur fragmentarischen Fossilien lagen in der Trossingen-Formation, auch Feuerletten oder in Bezug auf den Fossilfund Plateosaurus-Konglomerat genannt, die zwischen dem mittleren Norium und Rhaetium datiert (Zeitraum ca. 217 bis 201 mya).

Fossilien

 Der bedeutendste Fund waren Skelettteile eines sauropodomorphen Dinosaurier (Dinosauria) der Gattung Plateosaurus. Es ist der erste Fund dieser Gattung und die Typusart P. engelhardti.
 Aus der theropoden Dinosaurier-Familie Coelophysoidea stammt die Gattung Liliensternus.
 Aus diesem Fundort stammen auch Bruchstücke einer flachen Bauchschale, dem Plastron, der terrestrischen Schildkröte (Testudinata) Proganochelys.

Playing lacrosse helped Cody Agrella pay for college and live in a part of the country he was not familiar with. Now he is trying to help more young players in Nevada learn the sport.
Lacrosse participation numbers are solid, and the sport has been in Northern Nevada for more than 12 years, but it is still in a different class called "district recognized," than most high school sports.
Agrella played lacrosse at Galena, graduating in 2014, and then in college at Belmont Abbey in North Carolina.

A sport on the rise
There are more than 500 Northern Nevada high school athletes playing lacrosse this season, including boys (359) and girls (186). In youth leagues (for grades K-8) the numbers are even higher, with 569 boys and 216 girls participating this season.
Some high schools have as many as 75 students playing lacrosse and there are teams representing 10 schools this season.
Most of them will be competing in the High Sierra Lacrosse Shootout Friday through Sunday at Reno High.

Agrella is back in Nevada now, working for the Nevada Department of Wildlife and helping grow the sport that helped him.
He said lacrosse not being a sanctioned sport made it a little more difficult for him to get the attention of college coaches.
So, he made his own highlight reel and sent it out to coaches.
"It can still be done. It's not as easy as with football or basketball," Agrella said. "But it is still a very doable thing. It depends how much you really want it. I really wanted to go play in college, so I put in a lot of effort.
"I wouldn't have gone anywhere if it hadn't been for lacrosse. It let me experience a whole different culture and a different way of living. I got to see things you don't see in Nevada," Agella said.
He said growing the sport in Northern Nevada will help get the attention of college coaches.

Long road to recognition
It is a long process to becoming a sanctioned sport by the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association.
John Funk, who coaches the Reno team and is with the High Sierra Lacrosse organization, said lacrosse participation numbers are growing.
He attributed that growth to people moving to Northern Nevada from the east coast, where the sport is more common, and to it being played here in high schools since 2007.
At first, only a few schools had teams and players for one school often came from other schools. Galena had one of the first lacrosse teams, where it was started by a teacher in 2006-07, then Truckee soon started a team, then Reno High started a team.
Young players, ages 5-6, start on co-ed teams, then are split up as they grow. Rules allow more contact for boys as they get older.
Funk said all area high school lacrosse coaches are volunteers and referees are paid a minimal amount. Teams pay the schools for use of the athletic fields with funding provided by parents and guardians.

Funk said the Washoe County School District requires all coaches to be fingerprinted and that the school district would like to see more equal numbers of boys and girls participating.
Eric Peacock, the Bishop Manogue coach, said lacrosse has been gaining popularity locally and the level of play has risen as more students learn the sport.
Donnie Nelson, an assistant director with the NIAA, said the NIAA only sanctions sports that schools (minimum of nine) and/or a district operates first for at least two years as an independent sport.
Players join the effort
Northern Nevada has had a few lacrosse players continue on to play at Division I schools: TJ Wright from Galena is playing for Denver and AJ Mercurio signed to play for Denver. Galena graduate Cyd Curle is playing women's lacrosse at Utah. Several more play lacrosse at DII or DIII schools.
Rhonda Beadell is the lacrosse advisor at Spanish Springs and many of the team members there spoke at a WCSD meeting last year about getting their sport recognized. They also wanted the right to wear varsity letters for playing the sport and recognized in the yearbook.

Beadell said the Cougars kept the meeting going for five hours, as they each spoke about lacrosse.
She said the players efforts caused WCSD to place lacrosse in a new category, "District Recognized Sport."
She said that means the school district does not pay for anything and has no liability, each team pays for use of fields, uniforms, equipment and insurance.
High Sierra Lacrosse requires each player to carry the insurance provided under U.S. Lacrosse.
Post by Sshslax.
She said that since lacrosse is no longer considered a club sport, the funds have to be kept in a separate account, one not affiliated with a school.
"It's a step, but sanctioning looks like it will never happen with this district. I've been trying for nine years," Beadell wrote in an email to the RGJ.
Rollins Stallworth, the WCSD coordinator of athletics and activities, said the WCSD Board of Trustees passed district policy 5325, which recognizes lacrosse.
"The term 'sanctioned' belongs to those sports activities that are under the guidance of the NIAA. The District will recognize Lacrosse under this policy as a sport that under the requirements of the policy, WCSD schools and Lacrosse program participants could receive school letters, be in the yearbook and a specific facility use contract," Stallworth wrote in an email to the RGJ.

A rich heritage of Life-Transforming Nutrition
Read the story View the timeline
In 1896 an entrepreneurial approach to the latest nutritional science led to the establishment of Nutricia, changing the lives of millions of people around the world.
Poor infant nutrition – a 19th century common cause of infant mortality across Europe
At the end of the nineteenth century one in five infants died before the age of one, with poor nutrition recognized as one of the main causes1-2. Many mothers struggled to breastfeed and were forced to use animal milks, particularly cow's milk, to feed their babies. It was not known at the time that the composition of cow's milk was not appropriate for feeding infants and could also be a carrier of disease. These two factors contributed to high infant mortality across Europe.
An important discovery and a breakthrough in nutritional innovation
In 1885, based on his laboratory-based study of breastmilk, Professor Backhaus pioneered an innovation in infant formula: a breakthrough formula inspired by breast milk. This more easily digestible formula ensured mothers unable to breast feed, had a high quality and safe alternative they could trust.
Nutricia is born
In 1896 Dr. Johannes van der Hagen, a Dutch medical doctor and Public Health Inspector, learned about Professor Backhaus' invention at a medical conference and was inspired to make his formula more widely available to mothers who couldn't breastfeed. Together with his brother Martinus van der Hagen, he founded the new company Nutricia and in doing so positively impacted millions of lives around the world for over 125 years.
Beyond infant nutrition and the start of medical nutrition
Always strongly rooted in science, Nutricia quickly expanded its focus beyond infant nutrition.
Medical advances had discovered important links between nutrition and many common illnesses at key moments in life and as such, Nutricia was among the first to pioneer the concept of 'medical nutrition'. This led to the development of special milks, including low-sugar solutions for diabetic patients and milks fortified with iodine for goitre sufferers - a swelling of the thyroid gland that was particularly prevalent at this time.
Nutricia today – Life-Transforming Nutrition at every stage of life
From its earliest days Nutricia has distinguished itself through a commitment to leading-edge nutritional research that has led to the discovery, development, and delivery of breakthrough nutritional solutions for parents, patients and carers all around the world.
Now established as a key healthcare brand of Danone, Nutricia has intensified its focus and expertise on developing research-based, life-transforming, nutritional solutions to help people around the world live longer, more joyful, and healthier lives.

Timeline from 1896 onwards
The patent: a breakthrough in infant milk formula
Professor Backhaus filed a patent for his innovation in infant milk formula: a more easily digestible formula inspired by breast milk, saving the lives of thousands of babies all around the world.
The name Nutricia
Our founders named their enterprise 'Nutricia' after Professor Backhaus' laboratory, the 'Nutricia Zentrale', which derived its name from the latin word 'nutrire' ('to feed').
The expertise Professor Backhaus brought to the Nutricia company, together with the easily identifiable name (meaning something close to 'wet nurse'), enabled the company to quickly build trust as it supported mothers and their infants across the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
A culture of care and service
Martinus wanted to be closer to where people lived and worked. For this reason, the company began to open shops in major cities and some of the larger provincial towns.
To help those in smaller towns, Van der Hagen sent out 'travelers' to select suitable partners. Not every potential partner made the grade but those that did were given careful guidance on how to run their businesses.
Nutricia extends its portfolio
Before long, Nutricia was using its unique combination of dairy and medical know-how to expand into new and innovative fields of health. In developing a low-lactose milk for diabetes patients and the first nutritional product for those suffering from goitre (a thyroid condition linked to a lack of iodine in the diet), the world was introduced to the very first medical nutrition product.
Acquisition of dairy factory in Cuijk
Success dictated change and to keep up with demand for its specialized nutrition products, as well as make room for the latest in manufacturing technology, Nutricia moved its main (powder) production facilities (from van der Hagen's original factory) to the N.V. Cuijk's Dairy Factory. For almost a 100 years, this remained Nutricia's centre of excellence for producing specialized nutritional solutions for infants and young children with special dietary needs.
First Research facilities
Nutricia sets up its first research team with laboratories for baby and medical nutrition in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands.
Introduction of Nutrition News
After more than 50 years working at the forefront of specialized nutrition, Nutricia had gathered a wealth of information on the importance of specific nutrients during infancy, and for managing ill health during a child's early years – through to adulthood.
Always looking for opportunities to share knowledge, Nutricia introduced in 1950 a dedicated team of dieticians who - armed with the latest research - travelled around the Netherlands and to other countries educating healthcare professionals on the role of specialized nutrition.
Introducing a consumer care line
Dedicated to going the extra mile for the people who use its products and for those who care for them, Nutricia's consumer Care Line opened in 1986, managed by qualified dieticians.
This free Care Line support that Nutricia offers, is still an important service for consumers, carers and healthcare professionals today, helping those who have a question to ask or a problem to share - however big or small - in The Netherlands as well as in many countries around the world.
First prototype intestinal simulation model
As a company rooted in nutritional science, our scientists are always looking for ways to better understand how the nutrients we consume through our diet are digested by the body.
This ambition led to the creation of an intestinal simulation model, developed in collaboration with academic & scientific partners. A breakthrough in nutritional sciences, the simulation model was the first of its kind in the world.
The use of this model allowed Nutricia's scientists to unlock a world previously unknown to them, and to apply this knowledge to the development of new and innovative nutritional solutions.
Danone acquires Royal Numico
An important year for Royal Numico when it became part of Danone, resulting in Danone becoming a world leader in health and nutrition across all life stages. The acquisition of Royal Numico reinforces Danone's mission of bringing health through food to as many people as possible.
New sustainable Nutricia plant
Danone opens a new sustainable Nutricia plant in Cuijk, the Netherlands, to meet the growing, global demand for specialized infant formula. The new Nutricia plant is a state-of-the-art, sustainable, zero-waste facility, powered with 100% renewable electricity. The €240 million investment is among Danone's largest in its European production network in the last ten years.
A rich heritage of Life-Transforming Nutrition – the full story
In 1896 an entrepreneurial approach to the latest nutritional science established a business that changed the lives of millions of people around the world. That business was called Nutricia and its entrepreneurial spirit lives on today as a key brand within Danone.
Our expertise in nutrition
Together with partners from around the world, we continue to build upon our unique knowledge of nutrients and their specific roles in the body to develop breakthrough nutritional solutions that help people live longer, more joyful and healthier lives.

An EV Nova data file and plug-in parser built for [NovaJS](https://github.com/mattsoulanille/NovaJS), this project parses a directory containing `Nova Data` and `Plug-ins` subdirectories according to the [NovaDataInterface](https://github.com/mattsoulanille/NovaDataInterface).

In contrast to how EV Nova parsed files, NovaParse separates Plug-ins into their own namespaces to prevent ID conflicts. Each plug-in placed directly in the `Plug-ins` directory has access to its own IDs and to the global `Nova Files` IDs, but does not have access to IDs defined in other plug-ins. Creating a subdirectory inside the `Plug-ins` directory creates a shared namespace, and any plug-ins placed into that directory will have access to each other's IDs (in addition to the `Nova Files` ids), allowing plug-in packs like Extra Outfits and ARPIA2 to work correctly.

## Prerequisites
git, npm

## Installing
For deployment, [get it from npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/novaparse) with
```
npm install --save novaparse
```

## Usage
#### Reading Nova data and Nova plug-ins

```
// TypeScript
import { NovaParse } from "novaparse";

// Determines whether NovaParse should throw errors when a parse fails
// or should provide a default value for each failed resource parse.
var strict = false;

// should contain "Plug-ins" and "Nova Files" subdirectories
var parser = new NovaParse("/nova/source/folder", strict);

```
This loads all Nova Files contained in ```/nova/source/folder/Nova\ Files/``` and then loads all Nova Plug-ins in
```/nova/source/folder/Plug-ins/```, possibly overwriting IDs in `Nova Files`. Plug-ins are loaded in reverse alphabetical order, so a plug-in of earlier alphabetical order may overwrite a resource in `Nova Files` that was previously overwritten by a plug-in of later alphabetical order.

#### Getting data out of the parser
NovaParse implements `GameDataInterface` of [NovaDataInterface](https://github.com/mattsoulanille/NovaDataInterface), which defines how data can be accessed from it. In short,
* `(await NovaDataInterface.ids)["ResourceType"]` gets the list of available IDs for resources of "ResourceType"
* `await NovaDataInterface.data["ResourceType"].get("GlobalID")` gets the `"ResourceType"` resource of id `"GlobalID"`.

The global IDs of `Nova Files` all start with `nova:` and end with their corresponding ID. Global IDs of things in the `Plug-ins` directory start with the name of the Plug-in or directory and end with a colon and their ID.

## Development
To set up development, download the repository and run
```
npm install
```
to install dependencies.

To build the project for deployment, use
```
npm run build
```
This command must be run prior to publishing to npm.

### Running Tests
Tests can be run with
```npm run test```

To run an individual test, run ```npm run test-only ./test/path/to/test.ts```

### Contributing
Feel free to write types, parsers, and tests for Nova resources that are not yet parsed by NovaParse. Try to represent anything that happens every `n` frames or happens `n` times per millisecond in terms of `times / second` assuming 60fps. If there is demand for it, I will write a proper design doc with details on the internal structure of NovaParse.

The article illustrates the competition in politics which takes place in two parallel dimensions, i.e. during regular electoral campaigns and during the period of debating the final version of the legislation. One of the ways to the appropriate treatment of competition in politics is focusing research efforts on the analysis of political entrepreneurs behavior. It involves obtaining an advantage over players aiming to achieve identical objectives through the use of various instruments which exert influence on the preferences of political consumers as well as public decision of politicians and bureaucrats. The author argues that these behaviors are an adjustment to the conditions in which competition takes place on the political market. The methodology adopted in the study based on the hypothesis that individuals make public choices thus affecting the final outcome of the political process, and a direct relationship between the private cost and private benefit, which is a fundamental feature of the market selection, can be transferred to the analysis of public sphere.

Artist Spotlight, News January 14, 2015
YOU SHOULD BE LISTENING TO: SCOTT WALKER
Early in 1966, a group of Americans under the adopted surname of Walker released a cover of a Frankie Valli song and hit the charts as The Walker Brothers. That song is "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore," and the singer is Scott Walker. The rumor is—on the strength of that one song alone—The Walker Brothers' fan club was said to have been larger than the Beatle's in 1966.
Not long after this, Scott Walker would go on to have a successful solo career, for a while that is. He released Scott the year after his initial success with the Walker Brothers, which was a continuation of his work with the Brothers. The notable turn was how dark some of the material had gotten; songs originally by Jacques Brel translated into English by Mort Shuman are Baudelaire set to music. "Mathilde," the title woman of the opening track gives him woe upon her return, and he laments in "My Death" the passing time, unresting death.
Nineteen Sixty-Eight's Scott 2 followed the format, again bolstered by Shuman's translations of Brel's songs. But it was 1969's Scott 3 that would set him apart as Scott Walker, songwriter; only three songs on the album were by Brel/Shuman, and they were hunched together at the end, thrown on top like filler. All three albums were a huge success, but the bottom fell out when Scott 4, his most ambitious album to date, failed to chart. He was forced back to recording standards to fulfill a contract, and while Scott 1-4 have all been reissued, he refuses to let these albums see the light of day.
The Walker Brothers reunited in 1975, reviving some of the interest in his career, and the album Nite Flights saw his first new material in eight years, beginning a trend of long intervals between releases. In fact, it wasn't until 1984 that he released his next album, Climate of Hunter, which saw him dive off the deep end of pop. After another eleven years, Walker released Tilt; avant-garde, experimental, plain weird, and brilliant. Eleven years more, and Walker releases The Drift, the kind of album that features a man punching a pig's leg as percussion. These albums see Walker at his darkest and most elusive; lyrics sometimes confuse rather than enlighten: "Face on the pale monkey nails," and "21 21 21."
Six years later Walker released Bish Bosch with a 22 minute track called "SDSS1416+13B (Zercon, A Flagpole Sitter)" and an eight minute track "The Day The "Conducator" Died (An Xmas Song)" that really push the boundaries of even his last two albums. And then a shocking two years later—late last year— he released a collaboration with Sunn O))), perhaps signaling a creative streak unseen since the Scott albums forty-five years ago.
WHO HE INFLUENCED:
Walker's reach is concentrated in the experimental set, and David Bowie is a huge fan whose latest offerings are increasingly Walker-esque. He even executive produced a less than spectacular documentary called "30 Century Man" in which a slew of artists talk about his unique genius. (Although, the documentary is a must see for a look inside the studio during the making of The Drift.)
His song "30th Century Man" serves as the template for the cartoon Futurama, and a cover of it ended up on the soundtrack to the movie, and was also featured on Wes Anderson's Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou soundtrack—not coincidentally alongside covers of many Bowie tracks.
WHY WE SHOULD BE LISTENING TO SCOTT WALKER:
Not many artists dare to do what Scott Walker did, and fewer have managed it successfully. He constantly straddles the line between Pop and Un-Pop, his earliest songs a mélange of rock and standards while desperately inching toward the unknown, the latter trapped in the ether and looking back to those pop tracks he had sung so long ago.

Jobseekers allowed to study without losing their unemployment benefit
On 19 December 2018, the President of the Republic approved an amendment to the Unemployment Security Act, extending the possibilities of unemployed jobseekers to pursue studies without losing their eligibility for unemployment benefit. The goal is to improve access to employment and facilitate the setting up of new businesses.
The Unemployment Security Act is amended to allow unemployed jobseekers, aged 25 years or more, to pursue studies for up to six months without losing their unemployment benefit. A condition is that the studies improve the jobseeker's professional skills or help them set up a new business.
"It is important to support skills development so that jobs and jobseekers in Finland meet better than at present," says Minister of Employment Jari Lindström.
A key difference to the current situation is that the Employment and Economic Development Office will no longer first assess the jobseeker's need for studies or the full or part-time nature of the studies. However, jobseekers are still required to notify the Office of any studies lasting up to six months.
"The purpose of the amendment is that unemployed jobseekers could start studies to improve their access to employment without fear of losing their unemployment benefit. I'm glad that the amendment also improves the chances of jobseekers to meet their obligations under the activation model," Lindström says.
Jobseekers, who receive unemployment benefit, will still be obligated to apply for and accept full-time work and attend employment-promoting services offered to them. Studies will not be a valid reason to turn down an offered work or service.
The financial support to students will continue to be the primary means of income support for full-time students. This is especially true for younger persons, since the amendment will only apply to persons aged 25 years or more.
Changes to the activation model regarding studies
Unemployed jobseekers will be able to use studies to meet their activation requirement under the activation model and avoid a reduction in their unemployment benefit.
Unemployment benefit will not be lowered if an unemployed jobseeker studies for at least five days during the review period in the activation model, provided that the studies meet the criteria under the Unemployment Security Act.
Unemployed jobseekers will not lose their unemployment benefit due to studies if
the jobseeker is at least 25 years old;
the studies take at most six months to complete; and
the studies improve the jobseeker's professional skills or help them set up a new business.
Unemployed jobseekers regardless of their age can meet the activation requirement with demonstrated part-time studies if the studies have lasted at least five days during the review period. The upper limit for studies under the activation model is six months.
In case an unemployed jobseeker has not received unemployment benefit during his or her full-time studies and the studies have lasted at least five days, the review period in the activation model will be reset at the end of studies and the benefit amount will not be lowered.
Part-time studies that meet the activation requirement in the activation model include, among others, courses organised by liberal adult education institutions, such as adult education centres.
The amendments will enter into force on 31 December 2018.

Green Lantern Corps Movie Will Be A "Game Changer"
Where are the Lanterns?
That's the question many DC fans have been echoing since the beginning of DC Films with Man of Steel in 2013. The fans have been clamoring for it, rumormongering over it and just downright needing to see the emotional spectrum in full force on the big screen. Well, new plans have surfaced for the Green Lantern Corps in the DCEU.
In June, Geoff Johns stepped down from his executive role with DC Films and returned to what he loves, a creative role inside DC Comics and as head writer for the Green Lantern Corps movie. Recently, Johns has called the Green Lantern Corps movie as "a complete re-imagining" of the characters he knows better than anyone.
Johns spoke with IGN at SDCC and emphasized that the Green Lantern Corps script is still in its very early stages.
"I'm going to be hopefully delivering a script that Warner loves and DC likes and they want to make it" Johns explained, saying it's "going to celebrate the mythology and reinvent it in a different way."
With Geoff Johns writing the script, there is no doubt that Green Lantern Corps is a high priority for DC Films as Johns is the top writer and creative talent inside DC. Originally, Green Lantern Corps was destined for a 2020 release and a supposed "buddy cop" film, but after Johns' comments, it's hard to think that the movie will be close to ready by then.
The Green Lanterns and entire Lantern mythology is one of the most famous and popular inside not just DC Comics but the comic book world as well. After the failure of 2011's Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds, Warner Bros, and DC Films, are not taking any chances with this film; which is why DC put the "Father of the Lantern Corps" at the helm of the creative process for this important film.

Dub techno is a subgenre of techno that combines the style with elements of dub music, including its sparse, delay-heavy production and prominent bass.

Characteristics and history
In the early 1990s, producers Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus formed Basic Channel, a duo credited for defining dub techno. In addition to making the presence of minimalism commonplace in the techno scene, they also incorporated delay effects that were recurrent in dub music.
They then formed the label Chain Reaction; while still releasing the same type of dub-infused techno that Basic Channel created, such as the track "Cyan I" by Monolake, the label also distributed techno without dub elements, such as Continuous Mode's "Direct Out / Direct Drive". Regardless, what Thump writer Josh Baines described as a "thawing of ice as a sonic aesthetic" that was present in Basic Channel's works before Chain Reaction still remained in all recordings issued under the label.

Another label, Rhythm & Sound, was started by Oswald and Ernestus, and focused strictly on dub reggae and dub techno unlike Chain Reaction. The works of Rhythm & Sound featured representations of the sound system culture of Jamaica, the country where dub was formed, as well as authentic elements of the roots of dub. According to Baines, this type of dub techno was "the kind of smoked out dub that's an approximate aural recreation of the effect that incredibly potent mairjuana [sic] has on the brain" and "a haunting, haunted, tripped out site of memorial exploration" where "Everything sounds half-remembered, half-there, half-real."

The "clicks and cuts movement" in the 1990s formed by Mille Plateaux, is labeled by Baines as also characterizing dub techno's sound; the label's releases focused on making the same type of dub techno that Basic Channel and their imprints recorded and issued, only much more melodic. The exposure of dub techno was then brought over to the United States by Rod Modell with his project Deepchord.

Analysis
Baines compared dub techno to ambient music, in that music of both genres acts as "background music" on purpose; it never tries to adventure into new and unique territory, because its only purpose is to be "placid, unquestioning" and "deeply soothing." He analyzed that the best tracks in the dub techno style do what little it does amazingly, in that "every element in the mix is given breathing space and, accordingly, takes on a sense of the organic."

The following has just a few suggestions for books to investigate when first starting lessons. There are many good books of music out there from which to choose.
Singer's Musical Theatre Anthologies by Richard Walters (Hal Leonard publishing) are excellent books arranged by voice type (soprano, mezzo/belter, tenor, baritone/bass) which come in 5 different volumes for each voice type. Also available from the same publisher are books with 16 bar cuts from songs (again arranged by voice type) specifically designed for auditions.


Just prior to entering the studio to record fresh material, Leicester power-trio SKAM release a new single from their acclaimed album, The Amazing Memoirs of Geoffrey Goddard.
Bring The Rain will be available on all major download and streaming platforms on Fri 22 March 2019. The new single is accompanied by an illustrated lyric video produced by Drew Hamley at Unit 15 Productions.
Bring The Rain won Classic Rock Magazine's Tracks Of The Week – this week!
Bassist, Matt 'The Melting Face' Gilmore, said, "We feel this will be the last single from 'The Amazing Memoirs…' and its fitting that it is Bring The Rain as its one of our favourites from the album. It was the song with the longest gestation period; we knew we were on to something special, but we persisted until it all came together in one perfect moment.
The version that made the album was actually the seventh, so it seemed fitting for it to be the seventh song on the record.

Q: Create HTTP request between localhost servers with Sails and Express Currently I want to communicate 2 applications, one of them with Sailsjs (port 1337) and the other with Express (port 3000). For testing purposes I'm working on localhost.
App with Sails recieves an URL and, in some cases, must redirect to the other program, but this redirection does not work.
From Express doc, I should be able to use res.redirect to set the redirection. I keep running 2 servers and send info with Postman as follows:

This is the code of the Sails.js application, a policy (middleware) that should redirect
module.exports = function notExpiredTokens(req,res,next){

    console.log('Pasa por notExpiredTokens');  //-> Checks it is called

    res.redirect(301, 'localhost:3000');
    res.end();                            //--> Redirection is ignored
                                          // Also tried with send(), but does not work.

    next();
}

Of course sending data with Postman to both localhost:1337/... and localhost:3000/... works fine.
Am I doing something wrong? thanks.

A: Have you tried this?
res.redirect(301, 'http://localhost:3000');

Add protocol before localhost

At this very moment, thousands of people in Midtown Manhattan are designing and manufacturing apparel all within a 10-block radius in New York City's Garment Center. The innovation, opportunity, and jobs that the Garment Center provides is essential not only to the New York City economy but also to the American fashion industry as a whole. In this 100-year-old neighborhood, the trim-and-fabric suppliers, pattern-makers, sewers, pressers, and finishers act as a self-sustaining ecosystem, providing support for established and emerging designers all over America.
For the nascent designer, the resources and mentorship these local businesses offer are invaluable, not to mention incomparable. Losing this base would put the future of American fashion in jeopardy. The clustering of all of these resources makes the neighborhood a fashion research-and-development hub unmatched by any other city in the world.
For the nascent designer, the resources and mentorship these local businesses offer are invaluable, not to mention incomparable.
When it comes to manufacturing, proximity offers both environmental and competitive advantages. A brand manufacturing in the Garment Center has direct access to its production. It's able to constantly monitor the quality of their product, as well as tighten its supply chain to avoid excess inventory and waste. When production is readily accessible to both the designer and the consumer, it improves the quality and the speed at which garments can be produced. Shipments that roll down the street, rather than fly in from abroad, drastically reduce the carbon footprint of apparel manufacturing.
Manufacturing jobs in this district have provided a sustainable and steady middle-class living for the skilled labor in our factories for decades. Domestic manufacturing is a viable economic solution and the American people are beginning to realize its role in job creation, innovation, and sustainability. To save the Garment Center means more opportunities for designers, middle-class New Yorkers, and fashion companies all across America.
It should be saved because New York is ALL about FASHION!!!!

Social media automation is a topic that is a little bit touchy for many individuals who are weary of the consistent bombardment of content. However, for those who want to boost their audience to reach many more people, social media automation is necessary. We've talked about reposting content to double your reach, but what are the best social media automation tools that you can use to help you with the seemingly monumental task of making sure that your traffic is consistent?
Remember, though, there are many important strategies to consider when automating content. Check out our previous article to find tips to increase productivity in this area.
What are the Best Social Media Automation Tools to Better Reach My Audience?
What makes this one of the best social media automation tools?
dlvr.it offers many options to automate posting to social media. From automating your blog within minutes of publishing – to scheduling posting – to queuing your best content for resharing, dlvr.it has a full arsenal of tools to make your life easier.
dlvr.it offers the ability to post multiple posts per day from an RSS Feed to Socials. On the basic plan, users have the option to post to three different socials from different platforms. Free users can also use content filters to exclude any posts that do not meet criteria automatically. dlvr.it also offers Instagram integration as an input, as well as Twitter and Pinterest. This platform integrates into many different social media platforms. dlvr.it also offers the ability to either schedule posts, or post automatically.
The Pro plan is reasonably priced for most users. At $9.99 per month, users can expect to be able to use up to 10 social media accounts and up to 50 sources of input. The price tag of the Pro plan also provides access to the Echo feature. This power packed feature helps you drive more traffic by queuing your posts for resharing. dlvr.it also offers a free trial.
Analytics for dlvr.it offer just click stats and follower stats. However, you can add Google analytics tags with additional parameters attached to your social media accounts. dlvr.it also does not provide in-depth demographics of followers.
Hootsuite has built a platform that is attractive to marketers because of its built-in analytics.
Hootsuite's software packs a punch using Analytics. Hootsuite provides in-depth, detailed analytics that can help you to determine your audience engagement, metric performance, and real-time feedback. Hootsuite offers basic analytics for their free users, as well as enhanced analytics for its Pro users. For its free users, RSS integrations are free and unlimited. Upgrade to their Pro plan, and you can schedule bulk messages. Hootsuite also offers its users support through free social media classes.
Hootsuite does offer all of these features but prevents its free users from using more than three profiles. Hootsuite also does not allow image posting for its free users. Their analytics provide a lot of power, but for the novice user, this can be very confusing and difficult to understand. The front dashboard can be a bit confusing if you are not used to looking at so much information.
Buffer is a tool that works with input sources and social media accounts to publish your content quickly and easily.
Buffer has a wealth of tools that help their users stay connected to social media wherever they are. They employ the use of a mobile app to make it quick and easy to schedule a post from anywhere. Buffer has also created a system that will work to find the best times to post your content. Possibly the most attractive feature that Buffer offers is the option to create infographics inside the tool. Buffer offers a tool called "Pablo" that allows you to create graphics within the app and will allow scheduling of this post also within the app. With access to the Pro plan, you will gain access to use RSS feeds as inputs as well as the Calendar feature.
Buffer offers some Instagram integration, but this integration is a tad misleading. Buffer reminds users to log into Instagram to post content. Essentially, the only automated function of these reminders is the reminder itself. Also, if you are a basic plan user, Buffer significantly limits the functionality of their app. For their basic users, they will only allow one social media account per platform, and will only allow you to schedule ten posts at a time. There is also a significant limit for their next step plan. This plan allows you to schedule 100 posts for ten profiles.
Social Oomph offers management of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
Social Oomph integrates with a few different platforms including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. The most powerful feature that Social Oomph provides is to track Twitter followers and keywords. These platform analytics provide quite a bit of information about your audience so that you can tailor your content to your audience. Social Oomph also allows your employees to submit content via email, which will allow you to avoid needing to add team members to your account. You will instead be able to review and approve content from your own login information.
Social Oomph severely limits its free users, only allowing connection with Twitter at the basic level. Complete automation only occurs at the professional plan level, which is a higher price point than many on this list. The professional plan runs $17.97 every two weeks.
IFTTT is a platform that allows you to set up a number of triggers. The acronym stands for If This Then That. This means if a certain condition is met, then an action is performed.
Why is it one of the best social media automation tools?
IFTTT works on the formula of recipes. You set a trigger, whether it be a YouTube video published, a Tweet sent, or a new blog post on WordPress, and then set a result. The result indicates where this content moves. IFTTT has a huge variety of triggers and resulting actions. Recipes on IFTTT are extremely varied, and possibilities are endless with the trigger options.
Costs can start to get steep with this platform. There are only two levels of the plan, which start at about $1,200/year and do include unlimited triggers and actions. The only other option is to pay around $6,000 per year to customize your plan.
Sprout Social helps business users manage and analyze social media impacts across platforms.
Why is this one of the best social media automation tools?
Sprout Social follows the analytics protocol, providing its users with many different types of analytics and interactions. Google Analytics are an essential feature of what Sprout provides. They integrate this into their dashboard so that you don't have to run to Google to find out why your traffic may have dropped. Team members may also be added to all plan levels. They also have options to automate your social media content via a Social Content Calendar. Sprout also can decide the optimal times to deliver your content if you have trouble deciding when to publish.
Sprout is one of those platforms that is on the more expensive side. While they do offer a 30-day free trial, they also start their pricing at $99 per user per month for their most basic plan without adding additional users. Sprout also lacks Pinterest, Instagram, and multiple Google+ page interfaces. These features may be available on one of the other tools mentioned previously.
CoSchedule is a more robust platform that allows for posting and scheduling in a drag and drop calendar format.
Why is this one of the best tools for social media automation?
CoSchedule offers a drag and drop format calendar that allows you to categorize your posting. This tool also allows you to select evergreen content, which can be posted indefinitely. The tool will also select the most popular posts in your history and repost them for you. CoSchedule also has integration options with Buffer.
CoSchedule is similar to Sprout Social in that there is no option for a Free plan. The lowest cost plan offered by CoSchedule is $30 per month for 10 Social Profiles and one user account. In our experience, CoSchedule does require a lot of initial setup. There is a significant time investment up front in setting up the account and calendar. However, once set up, only minor alterations are required.
MeetEdgar is a platform that enables you to schedule evergreen content quickly and easily.
MeetEdgar provides scheduling tools for multiple social media platforms. The scheduling tool is quick and easy to set up and can be set up to send content multiple times. MeetEdgar also provides extensive video tutorials on their site and screenshot support documentation, which makes it far less difficult to set this up.
MeetEdgar is useful for a few platforms, like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, but does not offer integration with any other platforms. The software also does not provide any automatic native link shortening, but rather, forces you to utilize bit.ly for any links that you would like shortened.
KingSumo is a WordPress plugin that helps to determine which titles are most appealing for your articles.
While KingSumo isn't exactly a social media automation tool, it is extraordinarily helpful when you are creating your own content. KingSumo is intended as a plugin to help you select the most appealing titles for your articles. The plugin can generate a catchy title, or it can allow you to create titles yourself. And, with lifetime licenses, it presents an irresistible value.

Pursuing perfect writing is something I am especially guilty of. Though I may be a repeat offender, I can't remember ever actually obtaining that perfection. That might be however, because perfect writing isn't actually a thing.
Whether the work is a novel or a blog post, writing is never done in one take. As you move from a concept to a first draft, concessions are made. As that first draft progresses to subsequent drafts, more often than not, fat is trimmed, and points are further refined.
This is the natural writing process, and it is all done in the pursuit of a better final product. There is a point however, where an author needs to stop pursuing perfect writing, and simply call it good enough. This isn't meant to say an author shouldn't try to make their work the best it can be. I simply mean, that sometimes, the process of polishing needs to come to an end before the chrome is polished right off.
It doesn't matter who you are, or how many books you have written. Anyone who has written anything, has been unhappy in some respect about their work. The longer that work is, the easier it is to find fault in one's execution.
As an example, Gemsong Saga: A Boy Named Zephyr is 73,389 words long. That is 402,462 characters if you're curious. It is not the longest book ever written, but that is a decent amount of words to put down on paper. In the process of writing those 73,389 words however, typos happened. Punctuation was missed. There were sections that could've been written better or explained more clearly. Things were cut that I wish didn't have to be. Even if it had been flawless, there would always be things I would've liked to have added.
I've had a few people read the book, and have generally received decent reviews. Personally however, I find it nearly impossible to read. I can flip to a random page and within seconds, I'll find something I'm not happy with. When I point it out, I usually get blank stares. I am too close to the work, and I can see fault that most others will not. Nothing I do will ever make it perfect, at least not in my eyes.
Were I to have embraced that pursuit of perfection, I would still be retooling it as we speak. That's not to say I didn't try, it's just that everything I tried, resulted in something worse. Gemsong Saga has been in the works in one form or another for the better part of eight years. It has already been rewritten at least three times in its entirety. It was time to stop.
As an author, you are unfit to be your own critic. The more you care about what you're writing, the more enticing pursuing perfect writing will be. The problem is, perfect writing is a myth – it doesn't exist, as least not when the author is judging their own work.
To pursue perfection is to ensure that whatever you're working on will never come to be. You will grind it down over and over again, and with time, you'll begin to resent it. That resentment will build, and one day you'll just give up. That was what happened to the first versions of Gemsong Saga.
Thankfully, I had someone to convince me to give it one more shot. While it's not perfect to me, it might be perfect to someone, and they're probably a better critic than me.
The next time you're writing something, rework it until it's close to your vision, and then let it go. Don't end up with a trail of abandoned works in your wake as you try to obtain the unobtainable.
What Editing Your Book Can Tell You Music's Effect on writing - Positive or Negative?


We all experience stress in our lives to varying degrees. A little bit of stress in our lives is actually healthy – it helps to move us forward and pushes us out of our comfort zones. Excessive amounts of stress however have just the opposite effect. Unfortunately, in today's busy world, most of us are feeling the weight of incredible amounts of stress in our lives and we are just not sure how to get out from under it. While the "fight or flight" response is a healthy one designed to protect the human body from dangerous situations by either fleeing or fighting to protect ourselves, in today's society, we are trapped in "fight or flight" mode much of our time.
Personally, I succumbed to the affects of stress last year when I experienced a complete burn out after an extended period of extreme stress combine with pushing myself too hard. It left me feeling exhausted and run down and had a major impact on the functional of my thyroid and adrenals. I have spent the last year making conscious changes to help overcome it. It has not been easy – as a Type-A personality, making the conscious effort to slow down from time to time and put myself first has been difficult but slowly, I am making the changes needed to live a healthy life and I am feeling better because of it.
I wanted to share with you some of my top tips so that you too can begin to make the changes that will help to free you from the negative effects of stress in your life.
1. Get Enough Sleep – This one is huge and unfortunately, hugely ignored! Being sleep deprived is extremely hard on the body leaving us physically depleted, mentally drained and overall feeling miserable! Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night for the greatest health benefits.
2. Learn to Say NO – One of the biggest sources of stress in today's world is our crazy, busy schedules. We have gotten ourselves so overscheduled that "down time" feels like a waste of time and we constantly feel we need to "do more". By saying "no" to things you are not 100% interested in doing, you open up time in your schedule for the self-care you so desperately need. It is hard at first, but over time it gets easier and is a very freeing habit to get in to.
3. Move Your Body Daily – Physical activity will not only help you to manage your stress levels, it will keep your body healthy and your mind clear. Take some time each day to exercise in a way that you enjoy.
4. Focus on the Positive – We are bombarded in today's society with all of the negative things – in the news, online and even in our day to day discussions. When was the last time you took the time to consciously focus on the positive? There are many ways to do this, but my favorite is by keeping a gratitude journal. Pick a time (usually either at the start of your day or as you finish your day) to write down three things you are grateful for every day. By taking the time to focus on the positive, you will shift your mindset and set yourself up for success.
5. Connect With Others – When we are overscheduled and stressed out we often disconnect ourselves from family and friends, too busy to enjoy some "down time" which is so vitally important to our health. So book a girls' night with friends or a day trip with your family, something you enjoy that gets you "unplugged" and engaged and sharing a few laughs – it is good for the mind, body and the soul!

Crysis Remastered confirmed, coming to Switch
Comments Off on Crysis Remastered confirmed, coming to Switch
Crysis Remastered is coming. Confirmation came via a leak from its official site. At this time, the site has not gone live with the announcement.
Here's the blurb straight from the site:
"Crysis Remastered brings new graphic features, high-quality textures, and the CRYENGINE's native hardware – and API-agnostic ray tracing solution for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and – for the very first time – Nintendo Switch."
The move to Switch is an interesting one. Crysis is famous for being a visual show pony. This is something the Switch is not particularly good at.
Crysis originally launched in 2007 and received a warm reception from critics and audiences alike. Developed by Crytek, fresh from the success of the original FarCry, the game was the first to use the CryEngine toolset. It was popular on PC for the open-world freedom it offered, along with its cool superpowers. Its steep system requirements became a high watermark for PC gaming enthusiasts building a new rig. If the answer to "But can it run Crysis?" was yes, you had a powerful machine indeed.
The remaster looks to continue this tradition, promising upgraded visuals and raytraced lighting.
We don't have a release date right now, but will update this piece when one becomes available. Expect official confirmation overnight.
