Dungeon Saga Review
November 9, 2015 September 3, 2022 Matt Thrower Leave a comment
If you know your dungeon crawl games, I can give you the shortest review ever of Dungeon Saga. It's a cross between Descent and HeroQuest. It has the aesthetics and design philosophy of the latter, but incorporates the overlord versus players setup of the former. Job done.
Still here? Okay then. Dungeon Saga has one standout hallmark. It's full of smart design decisions which offer a little extra depth, a little extra theme, while keeping things as approachable as it can. That's impressive. The question is whether it's enough to make this title stand out in one of the most crowded genres in board gaming.
Let me give you an example. Fighting borrows a combat mechanic from, of all places, Risk. Each player rolls dice and compares the values sequentially, highest dice winning each pair. No great interest there. But if there's more than one model attacking you, you lose one dice for both attack and defence. If one's in your rear three squares you lose another dice for that combat.
Anyone can grasp both the rules and the logic of this. Yet this swift stroke brings a sudden element of tactical positioning to your play. In the tight corridors and irregular rooms of the dwarf king's hold it's easy to get outnumbered if you're not careful. So, players must jostle for position, watch each other's backs, consider leaving good positions to stop someone getting surrounded. A simple combat mechanic with a tiny tweak to give you something to think about.
Here's another. In this base set, the overlord player represents a Necromancer. He has a limited number of actions every turn. Each of these can either move and attack with a minion on the board, or turn a pile of bones marker into a fresh monster which can't act that turn. Again: a simple, logical concept. Again, it creates some fun complexity. Do you trade off attacking now for the chance to get better position next turn?
There are a few other things in the bag: ranged combat and spells, doors and chests. But on the whole it's a simple package well suited for family play. However much care went in to getting maximum bang from the mechanics, there's too few rules to build major depth. Certainly nothing that can compare with the rich tactical smorgasbord of Descent.
There's no better example of this than the campaign system, or lack thereof. Heroes start each scenario with pre-determined equipment which gets better as you run through the campaign. Like everything else in the game it keeps things clean and functional, ensuring you can pick individual adventures and find them balanced. Yet it can't recreate the magic of slowly scaling the ladder of power. You already know how you'll have improved by the next scenario.
Instead all we have is a setup where adventures get 15 attempts to beat the eight adventures in the book and can earn the occasional extra dice. Yet again it's wonderfully sparse design, achieving just enough flavour from very little. But again, it offers a limited sense of continuity and may be a barrier to replay value.
Interestingly, the components follow the same pattern of making compromises to maximize value. It's got little plastic furniture pieces like doors and chests, which are magnificent. Many of the sculpts are excellent too, especially the larger zombie troll figures. The plastic they're made from isn't great, though. And the dungeons tiles themselves are thin with generic art. They don't have jigsaw ends so you can either clip them together and risk damage or lay them out and risk players knocking them askew in the excitement.
Although this is an easy game to pick up and play, it's part of a wider series. There's lot more expansions to come and a bigger, thicker set of rules. Kickstarter backers already have some of this material but I've not seen it. Part of the charm of this game is its accessibility, but it's good to know it's already got plenty of extra material for those as want it.
I like Dungeon Saga. It's such a smart, compact package, crammed with equal parts invention and nostalgia. So it's unfortunate that part of what makes it fun is also its greatest weakness. In trying to combine the best bits of other dungeon crawls it had, bizarrely, left itself short of markers to make it stand out in a crowded field.
Descent offers a more crunchy experience for hardcore gamers. The co-operative nature of the D&D Adventure System games make them better for family play. Claustrophobia has richer theme and Dungeonquest is more exciting. But Dungeon Saga is there if you feel the need to add another box of cool dungeon toys to your collection. I kind of hope you do.
Cracked LCD- Claustrophobia in Retro-View (including Furor Sanguinis!)
December 4, 2014 September 3, 2022 Michael Barnes Leave a comment
Over the past decade of writing regular columns and reviews about board games, there are a few games that in retrospect I likely over-rated, games that in time have lost luster or simply receded from my attention. But there are even fewer games that I've felt that I under-rated at release and have come to appreciate more over time. Claustrophobia, a dungeon-crawler from the French designer Croc, was released way back in 2009 and it is quite possibly the single game that I have most dramatically missed the mark on as a critic. And with a rather unexpected new expansion, Furor Sanguinus, out from Asmodee it's a great time to revisit this stunning, singular title while also taking a look at the new addition.
It's not that I didn't like Claustrophobia when it came out. I gave it a good review, praising in particular its rules economy and setting, and of course I lauded its awesome production values that included some of the best pre-painted miniatures I've ever seen. But I didn't quite like it as much as some of the folks who were making "better than Space Hulk" comments. No doubt, the game was doing some very different things with the dungeon crawl genre and it certainly didn't play anything like the standard derivations of Heroquest, Warhammer Quest and Doom that are even more common today than they were just five years ago. But something about the game just didn't quite stick with me and it felt limited by only having two enemy types and none of the usual sense of looting, upgrading and skirmish level tactics common to these kinds of games.
I actually sold my first copy of the game sometime in 2010, but after hearing about the then-upcoming De Profundis expansion, I traded my way into another. And after running through each of the game's included scenarios with a gaming buddy, I realized even then that I should have given this game full marks and quite possibly the 2009 Cracked LCD Game of the Year award.
Claustrophobia is a masterpiece, even without either of its two expansions. The setup is baroque, dark and simple, based on a gaming world called Hell Dorado. One player takes on the role of the crusading humans- including a paladin-like Redeemer, massive Brutes and mercenary Blades for Hire. These damned heroes sojourn into a very 17th century, subterranean Hell beneath the ficitional city of New Jerusalem to root out evil in a wide range of scenarios. One player controls the forces of the Abyss, represented by Troglodytes and usually one or more Demons.
Both sides use a dice activation system but in an asymmetrical fashion. The human player has consoles for each of his figures that displays six action lines indicating differing values for movement and combat dice. A die is assigned to each, which then determines their stats for the round. But if a character takes a wound, a peg is slotted into the display that makes that action line unavailable. The Demon player also rolls dice but assigns them to a large board to activate various abilities and advantages while also expending Threat to play event cards or spawn Troglodytes.
Tough choices abound on both sides before a single figure is moved. The map tiles are very large and all movement is from tile to tile- there's no grid or other metric of distance. Only three figures from each side may be on a tile, and if a figure is outnumbered by the enemy then they are pinned and can't move. Many of the tiles have a single environmental effect or hazard that may create tactical opportunities or hassles for either player.
Combat is simple enough- roll however many D6s as your current combat stat, anything over the target's current defense is a hit. It may seem like the humans are overpowered compared to the lowly Troglodytes, but in packs- and with buffs like a Frenzy ability- they're absolutely lethal. The humans have a few blessings, boons and pieces of equipment but unlike other dungeoncrawlers this kind of stuff isn't the goal and there's not that much of it. This is an economically designed game with a surprising lack of clutter given its competitors.
Claustrophobia really hearkens back more to the dungeon crawl genre's earliest days than its more recently popular examples. Even though modern touches like the dice activation mechanic (tres chic in 2009) provide a more dimensional game in terms of rules, its simplicity and directness reminds me quite a lot of the seminal games Sorcerer's Cave and Mystic Wood. These games weren't about the foot-by-foot movement, special ability minutiae and fussy rules that Descent, for example, trucks in.
What blows me away about Claustrophobia is how it does away with so much clutter to get to some really core, fundamental qualities of the dungeoncrawl genre. Move, fight, and explore with just enough embellishment to give it flavor and character. It's hugely atmospheric- great scenario design helps, as does a unique setting and high quality illustration work. It's fast- almost brutally so- with most games playing out in 45 minutes to an hour.
Any issues I had with complexity or variety have turned out to be some of this game's strongest assets. I've come to realize that it doesn't matter if there are only Troglodytes when how the Demon player uses them in conjunction with the tactical situation, advantages and abilities is what provides the variety. It doesn't matter that there is only one Demon figure, defined per scenario by cards, when the most important aspect is that it is abstractly a stronger monster. This is a lean, editorial design that rather bravely bucks the trend toward bloat.
So expanding something so lean should have been risky. But the first expansion, De Profundis, was a must-have immediately upon its release in 2011. In addition to new room tiles, events, items and other materials, it also gave the human player two great new female warriors called the Sicaria and the demon player the fearsome Hellhounds. If that wasn't enough content already, De Profundis shipped with twice the number of scenarios that the original game came with, although there really wasn't any kind of provision to ret-con the new figures into the old ones. The new material pushed the game a little further along the complexity paradigm, but in return the depth of both the gameplay and the setting was increased. It felt like a good trade-off, and for the past three years I think most Claustrophobia fans assumed that De Profundis was the end of the line.
So out of nowhere, it seems, Asmodee is now promoting a new expansion and it's- as expected- awesome. Furor Sanguinus does something completely different that adds a whole new angle to the game. Instead of adding more units to each side or expanding what was already there, it brings a sort of third party, mutual antagonist into the game. There's only one new figure- Kartikeya. According to the Hell Dorado lore, he's something called a squamata. Visually, he's kind of a hulked-out crossed between a Tyrannosaurus and Wolverine. The five included scenarios have it fighting the humans, the demons or even both.
Kartikeya is freaking great. Conceptually, he is something like Steve Jackson's Ogre- a one-against-them killing machine with various "systems" that can be damaged and/or disabled. In most scenarios, Kartikeya is the only unit one player will use- although there is one (my favorite of the bunch) where the beast has a human slave (represented by Blades for Hire figures) chained to each of his arms. He's a total bad ass, more than a match for most units in the game but definitely not out of balance or overpowered.
The mechanics are mostly the same- the old dice-driven activation- but the Kartikeya player assigns dice to different parts of his body. Arms for fighting, legs for mobility and so forth. Damage- and he takes a lot of it- is assigned to different areas, which can disable certain options. And he can regenerate, a pretty crucial ability for keeping him alive what with him usually being a sole target for all the other blades, blunderbusses and claws in a given scenario.
Furor Sanguinis feels a little on the expensive side, retailing for $35 and shipping in a too-big box with only one figure, some counters, some dice and a couple of new room tiles. With that said, this is a really awesome add-on that I completely endorse for fans of Claustrophobia. It's the ideal expansion- it judiciously expands the game world while not only refreshing an already great game, but also applying an entirely new concept to its system. As a bonus, it is also possible to run three player games. I've tried it- one human player, one demon player, and one person controlling Kartikeya in a battle royale. It's really fun.
Like De Profundis, Furor Sanguinis does have something of an issue with backwards compatibility. The content sort of acts like De Profundis never existed, and there unfortunately isn't any guidance as to how to retroactively incorporate the new materials into the older scenarios. It's definitely a minor issue though, because the system itself is toolbox-y and pliable enough that most players with a will to do so can work out how to balance out the Hellhounds and Sicaria with that rampaging squamata.
So here we are, three releases in the Claustrophobia line over the past five years. I've learned my lesson about trading the game away in the past, and now it rests on my Forever Shelf alongside among timeless classics and personal favorites. At this stage, I'm prepared to declare that Croc's magnificent design may very well be the best dungeon crawl game on the market today. Furor Sanguinis seals the deal in blood.
Descent: Labyrinth of Ruin Review
September 13, 2013 August 8, 2020 Matt Thrower 3 Comments
The original Descent was probably as famous for its seemingly endless expansions as its astronomical play time. Some gamers made almost an entire hobby out of trying to collect them all. Arguably, the new edition with its focus on campaign play is even more suited to expansionism that its predecessor. So, after small box addition Lair of the Wyrm we now have the first big box expansion, Labyrinth of Ruin.
And it is a big box, with more of everything. And I mean everything. Pretty much every deck in the base game now has some extra cards, there are new rules (though nothing terribly demanding), new heroes, monsters, tiles and archetypes and, of course, a brand new campaign. There's so much it's hard to know where to start.
So we'll start at the first thing most people are going to look at when they open the box: the monster figures. And there's some cracking new sculpts too, the Volcurix Reaver in particular is fantastically detailed for a board game figure, even if it is only human-sized. Power-wise my favourite is the Goblin Witcher, who can curse heroes (a new effect) and then burn an action to move them two squares. Of course, thanks to the open slot mechanic, you can incorporate these new creatures into adventures from the original game.
As for heroes themselves, well they're perhaps a bit less distinctive. The additions are a swashbuckler, an enchantress of dubious morality, a wild ranger and a dwarven alchemist, all solid fantasy stereotypes with powers to match. What's more interesting is that they're clearly lined up for the new archetypes of Treasure Hunter, Hexer, Beastmaster and Apothecary respectively.
All bring something new to the game. The Beastermaster's powers revolve around his lupine familiar, a new piece controlled by the hero player, while the Treasure Hunter gets lots of skills which manipulate the search deck. The Apothecary needs to generate Elixir tokens which can then be turned to a variety of uses, but the Hexer is the least interesting, and possibly underpowered because the abilities involve hexing something with an attack first before use.
For most of the other expanded decks, the additional cards add pleasing variety but nothing especially noteworthy. The exception is the new Overlord cards. Firstly, they flesh out the very limited set of choices the Overlord had for adding to his deck in campaign play. Second there's a new starter set of basic cards to use instead of the originals if you want. They're very different, with many of them specifically targeting particular hero types with extra-nasty effects.
Finally we come to the campaign itself. While lot of Descent veterans might view this as the real meat of the expansion, I actually think it's the weakest part. There's a whole raft of new adventures, set on a new campaign map and with the two-act structure introduced in the original game. Many of them utilise one or more of the new map tiles, a mix of oddly shaped and very large rooms which are interesting to play in, especially given the propensity of the game to revolve around map choke points.
The other thing that stands out about the campaign is that there's now a criss-cross path through the various adventures to reach the finale. That means there's closer control of the narrative since only certain paths make sense. It also allows the designers to ensure that there are always particular choices to be made. In this instance, the first branch point determines which of two allies the heroes will get, a new type of friendly piece to aid them in their adventures. It also ensures that later, the Overlord will have an opportunity to turn this new adventurer to his own side.
However, that's hardly ground-breaking material and otherwise there's nothing in either the narrative or the mechanics of these new quests that really stands out from the base game. Partly that's down to the fact that a competitive board game isn't really a great format for intricate and absorbing storytelling. Partly it's down to the second edition of Descent being a relatively simple game that can't support endless, detailed rules novelties. But either way I just felt I wanted a bit more from the campaign than I actually got.
But when you stand back, I'm not sure it really matters. Both this new and the original campaign are fun to play through, and fun to pick adventures from for one-off sessions. The real draw here isn't really the campaign; it's the wealth of excellent expansion material you get which can be used every time you play: the heroes, monsters, archetypes and everything else.
For that reason I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone who plays Descent 2nd edition on anything more than an occasional basis. Even if you've never played the campaign that comes with the base game, and even if you never play this one, the bulk of the new material is well-designed, adding a wealth of flavour, tactics and choices that the original just didn't have. As a bonus, if you take the inserts out, all the material just about crams into one box.
Card Hunter First Impressions
September 12, 2013 July 22, 2020 Matt Thrower 3 Comments
I don't like grinding. Okay, so when it's combined with epic detail and rich narrative, like in Skyrim, or with ball-breaking skill, like in Dark Souls, it can add a fantastically fun and addictive element to a game. What I hate are games based around grinding for it's own sake, the endless repetition of kill monster, upgrade gear, kill tougher monster in the service of nothing more than pressing psychological buttons. The Diablo series is probably the worst offender, but so are endless cheap and free-to-play role playing games.
Card Hunter falls into that category. A free-to-play browser based flash game, with inevitable in-app purchases, it challenges you to assemble a team of three characters from the classic warrior, wizard, cleric archetype and send them into various brief encounters with enemies in search of loot. So I should hate it. I want to hate it. But I can't. In fact it's one of the most horribly addictive games I've played in ages.
In spite of its crack-like qualities, I've only played the preview version for a couple of hours, for reasons we'll return to later. So this isn't really a proper review. By the time you read this you'll be able to check out the real live version for yourself: and you should do so.
There are two reasons why Card Hunter succeeds where so many other games of its ilk manage to be nothing more than dryly repetitive and tedious. The first is the infectious glee it takes in re-creating the feel of everyone's first encounter with Dungeons & Dragons. Everything is charmingly steeped in sentimentality, from the fonts used mimicking those in 1st edition AD&D adventure modules, to the inexperienced and enthusiastic dungeon master who serves as your narrator. It doesn't so much hit the nostalgia buttons, as crush them with a sledgehammer, and it's wonderful.
But the second secret is there's actually a decent game engine underneath the presentation. Each character has slots for certain types of equipment, and they gain more as they level up. Each piece of equipment that you loot or buy comes with a selection of cards, and the cards of each item an adventurer has equipped makes up their draw deck. Most of the game takes place on small tactical maps where you play move and attack cards to try and outmaneuver and kill the monsters.
Armour gives you defensive cards which you don't play, but which take up space in your hand and sometimes absorb damage based on a dice roll. I didn't come across a very wide range of different effects during my brief time with the game, but throw in different terrain types and there's just enough to make each encounter something you have to stop and think about if you want to succeed, rather than mindlessly wade in with wands and weapons.
But while there's tactics, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of strategy. Specifically I was hoping for an experience a little more like the aged Magic: the Gathering PC game from Microprose where you had to carefully plan your deck overall and hunt down the cards you needed to complete it. But in my limited play time I didn't see much in the way of synergies or complementary card effects to build a longer-term strategy around. Rather, it seems to come down to making sure your party is equipped appropriately for the sorts of monsters they're likely to encounter.
Although that's a little disappointing, and may harm the long-term appeal of the game, there's still plenty to enjoy. It's accessible, fresh and fun, a delightful contrast to so many lofty new releases with their grandiose goals. And the reason I only spent a couple of hours playing it? Because on launch, all progress on my preview account is going to be reset, and two hours was enough to convince me this was a game I was going to play a lot, and I couldn't stand the thought of putting in the effort and starting over. There's a multi-player mode too, so grab your gear, and I'll see you on the dungeon floor.
Cracked LCD- Dungeon! in Review
November 1, 2012 August 16, 2022 Michael Barnes 2 Comments
The first hobby game I ever bought was TSR's Dungeon!, a game that's seen a couple of editions over the years including a newly released one from Wizards of the Coast. I was six or seven and on vacation with my mom and dad at Hilton Head, South Carolina. Some family friends and their two kids were with us, and we wound up in a game shop at some point. I saw Dungeon! and had to have it. The parents thought it'd be a good idea to get us something to do in the hotel room, and that's probably about where my birth as a game player occurred. I can still vividly remember playing the game and thinking how weird the monsters were- classic freakout D&D monsters like black puddings and such.
That was 30 years ago and a whole lot of game design innovations ago- but the game itself was originally published in 1975, the same year I was born. So this is definitely a vintage game and many modern gamers will shun it as a nostalgia trip. But I still love Dungeon! with all my heart, even though it's definitely a stupid, outdated game by today's standards. And by stupid and outdated, I mean that in the same way that The Ramones are. It's defiantly old fashioned, simple, and direct and it really kind of flies in the face of the prevailing design idioms. The rules are almost negligible. I haven't actually played the game in five years or so, but I didn't even bother to read the rules before the first session with the new edition. It's that easy.
It's important to keep a couple of things in mind about this game, which is just about as simple and basic as a dungeon crawl game can be. One is that it is essentially the proto-dungeon crawl board game on which all others are based. This was Gary Gygax and company's first attempt at putting Dungeons and Dragons into the context of a board game, and the idea is essentially to put characters on a map, put all the monsters on cards, and have the characters roll dice against a to-hit number on those cards. Beat them, and they hand you a treasure card which might be value toward victory or a magic sword. If you miss, they bite you and make you do stuff like lose a turn or a random treasure card. The whole thing is set up so that players have the liberty to explore any of the six levels they care to. But greater risks mean greater rewards.
It's the inverse of games like Magic Realm and Mage Knight that seek to bring all of the detail and narrative of role-playing to a board game. It's strictly about stabbing monsters and taking their stuff and trying to not get stabbed yourself and have your stuff taken. It's closer to its ancestor Talisman in some ways and its roots lie in more traditional styles of family games. This is the other thing you've got to remember about Dungeon!- it's not some highfalutin, fancy mechanic gamer's game or anything like that. It's intended to be a simple family game that anyone can play.
And to that end, it completely succeeds as long as you don't come into it scratching your beard and harrumphing about its abstractions, elemental streamlining, and ruthless devotion to die-rolling. It's good, dumb fun. It's almost a litmus test, in my opinion. If you can't kick back and enjoy a game of Dungeon! with all of its silliness, made-up narratives of failure, and loot-grabbing then you may not be the kind of person I like to play games with.
But you know who doesn't get pissy about rolling dice, spend the entire game parroting Boardgamegeek.com dogma, or scratch their beards over "concerns" with the game mechanics? Kids. When I played this game for the first time I was a kid and I've played it far more as a kid than as an adult. This is the perfect game to introduce even small children to hobby-style board games, fantasy gaming, or even the very basic concepts of Dungeons and Dragons. Kids will make up their own stories and use their imagination to make the simplicity of the game into a narrative that's far more fun than if the game had reams of flavor text and detailed combat mechanics and class differences. My son is only two now, but as soon as I think he can handle it, I'm playing Dungeon! with him.
And it'll probably be this version, although I am somewhat disappointed at how bare-bones it is. Over the years, some editions of the game have added new characters and minor rules variants and additional material was published in Dragon Magazine. None of that is here, and it feels like a missed opportunity to make this the ultimate, definitive version of the game.
But what am I bitching about, this is a twenty dollar board game. Online you can find it for as low as $13. It comes in a flat, trim box and the components aren't Fantasy Flight quality but they're plentiful. There are no miniatures, just stand-ups for the characters. But let me repeat- this is a twenty dollar board game. So shut up about it, OK?
I'm glad to see Dungeon! back in print yet again. It's one of the rare games that I have two copies of. Some years ago I found a shrinkwrapped copy of the 1981 version in an antiques store for $15, and since that was sort of my inception point in the hobby, I had to have it. It's an important game for me, and really it's kind of an important game to the hobby, a relic from a time when there was no internet for people to whine about made-up bugbears like "the luck factor" or balancing "issues". It's a relic from a time when a game being just plain fun was good enough.

NORTH ADAMS. Mass. - The Norwich University men's basketball team traveled to the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) on Saturday afternoon. falling to the Trailblazers in overtime by a 78-69 final score.
The Cadets faced an uphill battle all day long. as the hosting Trailblazers never trailed during regulation. Norwich outpaced MCLA in the second half with a massive 42-28 effort over the last twenty minutes to rally and tie the game up. Jesse Davis (Woodinville, Wash.) capped the comeback with back-to-back three pointers to knot the score at 63-63 with twenty seconds remaining, and after MCLA missed the potential game-winner the game entered the overtime period.
Norwich lost their momentum out of the gate, as MCLA put up a quick 7-0 run to open the period and regain control of this one, coasting to the 78-69 victory.
Jesse Davis had a monster 20 point, 11 rebound double-double to lead the Cadets in both categories. Freshman Donovan Lewis Jr. (Savannah, Ga.) continued the strong start to his first season with 15 points and eight boards while classmate Spencer Conatser (Reno, Nev.) dropped in 11 points after getting the first start of his career.
Norwich will be back in action Sunday afternoon against SUNY-Delhi before getting their 2019 schedule started on Friday, January 4th against Anna Maria at home in their conference opener.


An effective human milk bank provides safe, high quality donor milk where the human milk is collected, pasteurized, stored, and distributed to the recipients.
The World Health Organisation recommends donated milk as a lifesaving alternative for children with no access to their mother's milk.
In our study we interviewed about 900 mothers to assess attitudes on donation of breast milk, milk banking and use of donated milk. This is the first study done in Kenya and our findings showed that three out of every five mothers would feed their own children on donated breast milk.
Kenya needs to pay more attention to saving newborns without access to their mother's milk, who are born before their delivery date, have low birth weight, or are very ill, by giving them donated human milk. The newborn should also be given this milk if the mother is sick, dies, is unavailable to breastfeed, or if she is on medication that restricts breastfeeding.
Studies show that sustained breastfeeding averts about 820,000 child deaths across the world every year and reduces childhood illnesses such as colds, infections and pneumonia.
Studies also show that mother's milk reduces the risk of infections in low-birth weight infants by 19% in first 28 days. Other studies note that it's more protective than formula.
About 8% of children are born too small and 12.3% too early in Kenya. Many of these babies are very vulnerable and have no access to their own mother's milk and could potentially benefit from donor milk.
Mother's milk has also been found to be more gentle on infants' stomachs and prevents diarrhea. Donated human milk is an economically viable method because it reduces these complications and also leads to a shorter stay in the newborn intensive care unit.
To ensure safety and quality of the donor human milk, internationally recognized practices are observed like screening donors for diseases and infections.
No risks or adverse effects on donated human milk use have been published. However, some of the concerns raised include fear of HIV transmission in South Africa, and cultural and religious beliefs against donating and use of donated milk in Turkey.
Human milk banks receive, process, store and provide safe donations to infants who need it. Kenya does not have any policies that support the donation of human milk so we carried out an initial assessment in Nairobi County, between August and December 2016, to understand the feasibility and acceptability of human milk banking.
The Africa Population Health Research Center in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and PATH led the project at the community and health facility levels.
The study findings showed that breast milk donation and milk banking was a new concept to 74% of the women interviewed. But about 80% said they would donate their breast milk to a milk bank and about 60% would feed their children on donated milk.
If it is a matter of life and death, it's about saving the child. I will not sit and watch a baby die. In such a scenario, I will have a human heart to donate milk.
Health workers said the use of donated milk was potentially an affordable solution, compared to the high cost of buying infant formula milk.
There were concerns among the women interviewed about the use of donated milk due to personal, health, cultural and religious concerns.
What are you going to do with my milk? There are those bad stories of people taking other peoples hair, nails and other body parts for undisclosed uses.
sterilizing the equipment and ensuring hygiene during handling and storage.
In addition, education and awareness campaigns in communities and among health workers can solve these concerns. These campaigns can be run through existing community health promotion programs, religious institutions and trained health professionals.
The government should put in place national policies and allocate money to ensure infants have access to a safe, high quality, sustainable supply of donor milk. A good first step would be to establish a multi-sectoral team to look into setting up milk banks in Kenya.
In addition, the Kenyan government could borrow experiences from other countries where milk banks have been established such as South Africa.


Tooth loss is a terrifying topic, but it's one that a lot of us have been forced to face. By the time you're in your 40s statistics aren't in your favor: around two thirds of people that age or older have lost at least one tooth.
The most frightening part comes from thinking about what to do about lost teeth. Do you get a bridge? Should you worry about more lost teeth? Will you have to end up wearing dentures? All of those are plausible outcomes of tooth loss; when one tooth goes others are likely to follow!
At Really Smile Dentistry we prefer to treat lost teeth with dental implants. These remarkable advancements in tooth replacement technology are the closest thing possible to regrowing a natural tooth! Whether you're only missing one or you're tired of living with dentures implants can get you a smile that's fully functional, stable, and will last a lifetime.
Dental implants are small titanium screws that are placed in your jaw right where your missing teeth used to be. Once they bond to your bone they'll be just as permanent and reliable as the real deal! If that isn't reason enough to think implants are great hopefully these other reasons can convince you.
If you're wearing full or partial dentures you know how uncomfortable and miserable they can be, even mentally. You have to spend all day worrying about your teeth and the second you stop they fall right out!
No one deserves to live like that, and with dental implants you don't have to. By placing just a few dental implants we can permanently attach a full-mouth bridge that stays fixed in place for life! Imagine never having to deal with the hassles of dentures again: it's possible!
We also offer implant support for your dentures, which allows you to keep your current set, modified to snap right onto several dental implants.
A single lost tooth can start a domino effect where more and more teeth loosen and fall out. Over time you'll end up without a single tooth if you don't stop it! Dental implants are the only tooth replacement solution that can stop the domino effect, and stop it naturally.
Continued tooth loss is caused by the loss of bone tissue that supported your missing teeth. Your body absorbs it, and will continue to do so until your other teeth loosen and fall out too. Because dental implants are able to bond to bone they stop the entire absorption process, and thus the domino effect as well.
If you replace that first lost tooth with an implant and then take care of your oral health your worries about tooth loss will dry right up!
When you get a dental implant you aren't getting a temporary fix: you're getting a tooth replacement that will last for the rest of your life. Implants form an incredibly strong bond with your bone that makes them just as – if not more – reliable as a natural tooth.
The crowns and bridges we restore dental implants are made from premium materials that will keep them looking great for years to come, and you won't have to worry about anything except for your great smile!
Taking care of a dental implant is just like taking care of a natural tooth: brush twice a day and floss in the evening and you'll be all set for life! A lot of patients get worried that implant maintenance will be difficult, but as soon as they're healed and their restoration is placed they realize how easy living with implants really is.
Of course, having dental implants doesn't mean you can avoid trips to see us at our Carmel dentist office. The last essential piece of caring for dental implants is regular cleanings and exams so we can keep your new teeth – and the originals – healthy.
You aren't going to find another tooth replacement method that's more lifelike, easier to live with, or more reliable than dental implants. If you're ready to find out which implant solution is right for you we're ready to see you!
Make an appointment at Really Smile Dentistry in Carmel, IN today by calling 317-451-4050 or by filling out our online request form. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Q: maven profile activation with default profile without tag "activeByDefault" I am looking for a way to setup multiple profiles, one of which I want to be set as default (running just mvn clean install should choose that profile). I am not interested in any solution that takes use of activeByDefault since it impedes me from creating separate profiles in another module and using them at the same time with the default profile.
Currently I am using the property approach that looks something like:
<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>prof1</id>
        <activation>
            <property>
                <name>!myprop</name>
            </property>
        </activation>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>prof2</id>
        <activation>
            <property>
                <name>myprop</name>
                <value>prof2</value>
            </property>
        </activation>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>prof3</id>
            <activation>
            <property>
                <name>myprop</name>
                <value>prof3</value>
            </property>
        </activation>
        </profile>
</profiles>

This means that I have to compile my project with mvn clean install -Dmyprop=prof3 if i want to select prof3 instead of prof1(which is default by not setting any property).
However I want to achieve the same effect but compile my project with -Pprofilename instead of setting a property. I have tried adding the property in each profile under <properties> tag but it seems the default is always ran. I read that pom properties are not available to use for activating profiles.
Is there any workaround to this ? such as having a settings or properties file (don't want to change it everytime I compile) from which I can get the property and achieve my goal of compiling using -PprofileName ?

A: You can use activeByDefault for the Profile which should running if you do not activate an other:
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>

For more Information see http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html

A: The documentation linked by @Jens explains the 5 ways to trigger a profile. I don't believe any combination will give you the "other or default" triggering that you want except for activeByDefault.
Without seeing the other poms that explain why you can't use activeByDefault it's going to be hard to help find an entirely maven based solution. Perhaps simplify your build profile structure?
An alternative is to create an alias for mvn called dmvn for default maven that does mvn -Pprof1, then use mvn whenever you want prof2 or 3.

A: Project specific command line settings
I'm not complete sure if it helps to solve your issue, but since Maven 3.3.1, an additional way exits to configure projects.
In your project base directory create a directory named .mvn and put a file named maven.config in it with this content:
-Pprof1
If you execute mvn clean install , profile prof1 will be used. If you enter mvn clean install -Pprof3 then the build performs with profile prof3.

Sudan's persecution against Christians has increased – with planning laws used as a pretext to destroy churches and Christian-owned buioldings in an attempt to crush Christianity.
In the past few years, there have been increasing reports of forced closure and demolition of churches, arrests of Christians accused of proselytism and so-called indecent or immoral dress, confiscation of Christian books and faith-related violence against individuals and groups. Severe human rights violations such as these emerged in a summer 2017 Aid to the Church in Need fact-finding and project-assessment trip to Sudan which highlighted the country's increased determination to enforce Islamic Shari'a law including floggings and lashings for transgressions against Muslim practices. These and other reports described Sudanese clergy being denied foreign travel, and school text books with hate speech about Christians and other non-Muslims. According to one leading religious freedom observatory, Sudan is one of the countries in which religious freedom seems to have "spiralled downward" during the period under review. Christians have been among the worst to suffer.
Problems concerning the rights of Christians have their roots in Sudan's 2005 constitution. On the one hand the document upholds citizens' right to freedom from "discrimination as to… religion" [Article 31] but on the other asserts the supremacy of Islam: Article 5(1) states that Sudan "shall have as its sources of legislation Islamic Shari'a" which restricts freedom of religion or belief. The constitution already foresaw the 2011 secession of South Sudan and, in the years since, Sudan's President Omar Al-Bashir has set about creating a fully-fledged Islamic state, first conceived in 1989 when he seized power. By 2011, an exodus of Christians to the south was already underway, prompted by legislation withdrawing the citizenship rights of those with ancestry outside the borders of the re-dawn map of Sudan. The massive decline in the number of Christians in the north was only mitigated by virtue of a large number coming back to Sudan to avoid acute poverty and renewed violence that quickly beset so much of South Sudan. In February 2016, Auxiliary Bishop Daniel Adwok Kur of Khartoum highlighted the impact of the crisis in South Sudan on its northern neighbour with reports indicating that two million displaced people had crossed the border into Sudan.
They came back to a Sudan now subject to a strict Islamist agenda. In 2013 Lord Alton of Liverpool told the UK Parliament about new "systematic" persecution in Sudan. Religious freedom observers noted that in the 12 months up to February 2017 "at least 25 churches received notices that their churches would be demolished". In May 2017 an anonymous source told ACN: "Churches are destroyed but it's claimed to be just town planning. The Church is not allowed to buy property." With so many churches due to disappear, Middle East Concern noted "The authorities refuse to designate any plots to be used for church buildings claiming there is no need for church buildings." A Sudan Church source told ACN: "Churches are being torn down each month; you never hear that about mosques." The source noted that approval to build churches – even for the Christian communities registered by the government – is "practically never granted" and that the Church makes use of multi-purpose buildings.
Reports suggest Church leaders are increasingly concerned about the regime's intolerance. On 25th June 2015 Seema Ali Osman was arrested with 11 other Christian women for "indecent or immoral dress"; they were wearing trousers or skirts. The women, who were spotted leaving a Khartoum Baptist Church, were alleged to have broken Sudan's penal code which states that "an obscene outfit…shall be punished with flogging which may not exceed 40 lashes or with a fine or both. Five of the group were later found guilty and fined.
At particular risk were non-registered church communities. Czech preacher Jan Jasek had been sentenced to life imprisonment – until he was pardoned by the President. He had been accused of spying but reports suggested his real crime was proselytism among Muslims.
October 2015: Local authorities destroyed the premises of the Lutheran Church of Sudan in Omdurman, quoting "lack of planning permission" – even though the church had been there since the 1990s.
March 2016: Czech citizen Petr Jasek was arrested and imprisoned after filming first-hand testimonies of Christian persecution in Sudan. On 29th January 2017, he was found guilty of espionage and sentenced to life imprisonment. Following negotiations with the Czech government, Mr Jasek was granted a presidential pardon by Omar Al-Bashir on 23rd February and released from Kober maximum security prison the following day.
April 2016: Coptic Orthodox priest Gabriel Anthony, from St Mary's Church in Nyala, was kidnapped by gunmen near Atash displacement camp on 14th Aprl. It is widely thought that the kidnapping was for ransom, rather than for religious reasons. He was finally released on 25th May.
May 2016: Sudanese warplanes dropped parachute bombs on St Vincent Ferrer Catholic School in Nuba Mountains, injuring a teacher and damaging classrooms and a library. According to Nuba reports, 68 bombs have been dropped during the month of May just on Heiban County.
October 2016: Armed police led a party that seized the Evangelical Basic School in Madani, Al Jazirah state on 24th October. It followed two previous attempts by authorities to seize the school on 5th September and 4th October. Four staff members who tried to stop the property being seized on these earlier occasions were jailed for four days, including headmaster Rev Samuel Suleiman. Most teachers and students belonged to the Nuba ethnic group. Parents held a protest march over the move, which halted the education of more than 1,000 pupils aged 3 to 18.
February 2017: Christian leaders called on authorities to reconsider plans for the demolition of at least 25 church buildings in Khartoum State. At a press conference on 11th February, the Sudan Council of Churches denounced the proposed demolition of buildings belonging to a wide range of denominations. The churches, which are mostly in the Sharq al Neel (East Nile area) locality of Khartoum North, are allegedly built on land designated for other uses. Speaking at the press conference the chairman of the Sudan Council of Churches, Rev Mubarak Hamad noted that mosques located in the same area were not affected by the demolition order.
April 2017: Presbyterian elder Younan Abdulla, 28, was stabbed to death while protesting against the sale of church land at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church's school in Omdurman, Sudan. A group including police officers broke into the church and ransacked the living quarters of the compound's guard. Police arrested the guard's wife and three children.
May 2017: Authorities demolished the last church in the Soba Aradi district in the south-east of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum. Riot police and National Intelligence and Security Service officers prevented onlookers from taking photos or filming. This church was one of 27 churches fighting a joint case against a government decision to confiscate and demolish their buildings. Lord Alton and Middle East Concern reported that the Sudanese Church of Christ church in Soba Al Aradi and a building belonging to the denomination in Algadisia, Khartoum had both been demolished.
May 2017: The USCIRF argued that US sanctions against Sudan should be reintroduced due to continuing human rights violations against Christian groups. USCIRF's newly appointed chairman Daniel Mark stated that "USCIRF believes that these sanctions should remain in place. Sudan has not shown sufficient progress on allowing greater religious freedom. Religious leaders continue to be arrested and convicted on spurious charges; churches have been demolished; and a range of laws against apostasy, blasphemy, and undefined 'offences of honor' remain in force." Following a six-month waiver granting a limited lifting of sanctions under the US Executive Order in January, the USCIRF suggest that the US should resume sanctions against Sudan. In a letter to the Secretary of State, the USCIRF wrote: "Since South Sudan's secession in 2011, USCIRF has documented a deterioration of religious freedom conditions year after year. During this period, the Sudanese government has arrested nearly 200 Christians, including 14 religious leaders. Of these detentions, three pastors were prosecuted on spurious capital charges, including waging war against the state and espionage." The letter continues: "Sudanese authorities also have demolished or partially demolished approximately 20 churches and church buildings; expropriated or threatened to expropriate at least 10 others; and have stated that they would no longer issue permits for new church construction." The State Department has designated Sudan as a CPC [Country of Particular Concern] since 1999, most recently renewing the status in October 2016.


Is De'Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield The Future?
After years of being the laughing stock of the league, and countless draft picks not working out, the Kings are looking like a team on the rise. Both De'Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield have had career years so far, making us ask the question if they are the future for Sacramento? They still need some other pieces in place, but pushing for a playoff spot already is a huge step for this group. Fox and Hield are looking like an excellent duo for the future. Fox is distributing the ball nicely, and his scoring has been up. Hield has always been a shooter, but his consistency at a high volume is impressive.
Where Does Harrison Barnes Fit In?
Dallas traded Harrison Barnes to the Sacramento Kings just before the deadline, which didn't make much sense at first for Sacramento. While they need wing depth and a scorer, Barnes is more of the depth part of that statement. He is a short term solution at the moment, and they are overpaying a bad contract given out by Dallas, but it won't affect their ability to keep growing as a team. Barnes is what he is at this point of his career, and isn't going to give you above average work at either end of the court.
Will Sacramento Move On From Willie Cauley-Stein?
This was always a pick that had upside, but Willie Cauley-Stein hasn't panned out to his potential ceiling. The defensive factor to why he was touted so highly was a major let down. He is on the books for next year, and then will be a free agent. There are no current centers on the roster that are ready to step in, but they will have some draft picks and moves to make if they go a different direction. Needing to improve in rebounding and the defensive side of the ball, it is likely that will happen.

Q: Update using two tables I need to update one date from a mysql table, using value from another table .
I'm trying to do execute this on my mysql server,
Update
update wp_posts post
  join wp_postmeta meta
    on post.ID = meta.post_id
   set post.post_date = meta.false_date
 where meta.false_date <> '';

But I get the following error on terminal
Error
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'from wp_posts post, wp_postmeta meta where post.ID = meta.post_id and meta.false' at line 1

Meta
|    7647 |    1483 | false_date                    | 2016-12-30

SQL Sentence
update wp_posts post
  join wp_postmeta meta
    on post.ID = meta.post_id
   set post.post_date = meta.false_date
 where meta.false_date <> '';

Error 2
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'meta.false_date' in 'where clause'

What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciate,
Jaster.

A: The correct syntax looks like this:
update post p join
       meta m
       on p.id = m.post_id
    set p.post_date = m.false_date
    where m.false_date <> '';

Notes:

*

*update in MySQL does not support a FROM clause.

*You should be using proper, explicit JOIN syntax.

*Table aliases make the query easier to write and to read.

*Use single quotes for string and date constants -- and nothing else.

*The standard SQL operator for inequality is <>.

*If false_date is properly stored as a date, then your comparison should be meaningless.  Perhaps you just intend:  where false_date is not null.


Whether you're a local skier or are traveling from out of state, an affordable skip trip in Colorado is well within reach. Because many of the ski areas are within close proximity to Denver, skiers can opt to stay overnight in the city and travel back and forth to the slopes during the day. A variety of ski packages and discounts are available at local lodges as well.
Colorado's ski industry began in the late 1930s when different areas began instituting ways to get skiers up the mountain. The first rope tow was introduced in 1936 on Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs, followed by an 878 rope tow on Berthoud Pass in 1937. The first chairlift became operational in 1939 at Cement Creek, south of Crested Butte. As World War II hit, the Tenth Mountain Division trained on slopes near Leadville and returned in 1949 to create the state's ski industry.
Ski season can begin as early as October in Colorado at some resorts. Although the snow might not be quite as good as other months of the year, advantages exist early in the season when it comes to the pocketbook, such as discounted lift tickets and cheaper lodging options. By Thanksgiving, most ski resorts are open for business, and discounts continue through December even at more expensive resorts. Skiing during the week and avoiding holiday weeks and weekends (Christmas vacation, President's Day, Spring Break) buys you valuable time on the slopes as well.
If you are traveling from out of state, check into fly/ski packages online or through travel agencies. Consider flying into a town located farther away from the ski slope and driving back and forth. Compare lodging options that offer ski/stay packages, and look at last-minute deals. Plan ahead in the summer months and make reservations early to take advantage of cheaper deals. Check out the Colorado Skiing Guide online to compare lift ticket prices.
Howelsen Hill Ski Area in Steamboat Springs traditionally has some of the cheapest rates in the state. Loveland and Ski Cooper Ski Areas (within an hour's drive of Denver), Monarch (between Salida and Gunnison on Monarch Pass), Powderhorn (southwestern Colorado) and Sunlight (near Glenwood Springs) all offer affordable prices as well.
Two resources exist to keep you informed of changing weather conditions as well as road conditions and closures near Colorado Ski Resorts. The National Weather Service reports on current weather patterns, short-term forecasts and area conditions based on the area you are visiting. In addition, the Colorado Department of Transportation website posts traffic speeds, weather maps and current road reports.

What to Watch Tonight: Last Resort, The Big Bang Theory, and Elementary
What to watch on Thursday, September 27…
SERIES PREMIERE, 8pm, ABC
In "Captain" we meet the crew on board a U.S. submarine who receive a mysterious order to fire nuclear weapons at a foreign country even though there has been no declaration of war. When the captain and his crew refuse orders, they become subject to attacks—by their own countrymen—and so seek refuge on an exotic island near where their ship has been hit. Not a bad set up for a season which will undoubtedly make you question who in the U.S. is behaving so badly and why.
SEASON 6 PREMIERE, 8pm, CBS
America's #1 comedy isback tonight with "The Date Night Variable." In it Wolowitz gets launched into outer-space, but for some reason still gets caught in the middle of an argument between Bernadette and his mother. Oh, bother! Also, Raj starts to catch the lonely bug after realizing that all of his friends are dating. Poor guy—get a girlfriend.
SEASON 9 PREMIERE, 9pm, ABC
"Going, Going, Gone" opens just after the tragic plane crash that rocked last season's big finale. While the doctors do their best to deal with the fallout from the crash, they must also confront a serious loss that will forever change the course of their lives. Ahhh, it's so emotional already!
SERIES PREMIERE, 10pm, CBS
CBS's modern day take on an old story comes with an added twist: In this rendition of Sherlock Holmes, Watson is a woman (a woman played by Lucy Liu, to be exact). Recovering addict Sherlock Holmes has a knack for solving the NYPD's crimes throughout New York City, and while this pleases the feds a great deal, Holmes's father isn't so trusting of Holmes's talents—and so he hires a one Ms. Joan Watson to accompany Sherlock and make sure he doesn't fall back to addiction. When she assists the eccentric Sherlock through a home-invasion investigation, she's hooked on crime-solving. And so begins a beautiful friendship. It's elementary! Literally!
SEASON 3 FINALE, 10pm, FX
There isn't much to say about this, except for: It's the final episode of what has been a fantastic season of comedy television and as such we should all watch it. In "New Year's Eve," after coming off of his minor win from last week, Louie gets thrust into the holiday season—and they weigh very heavily on poor Louie.
