How calculation engagements can provide an indication of value
Preparing a formal valuation for a client requires much work on the part of the appraiser. It can, therefore, be costly. But in many situations, a full-blown valuation isn't necessary. That's when an appraiser might suggest using a calculation of value instead. Here's an overview of the difference between valuations and calculations and when it's most advantageous to use a calculation of value.
How they're different
Generally, business appraisal work falls into two categories — valuations and calculations. Formal valuation engagements require more procedures than do calculation engagements.
For example, valuations generate an official "conclusion of value" in conformity with certain professional standards. In contrast, calculations provide an indication of value (a calculated value) based on assumptions and procedures to which the client and the appraiser have agreed.
In addition, one of the most time-consuming — and costly — steps in the valuation process is drafting a detailed appraisal report. But a calculation engagement may call for only an abbreviated letter report, numerical exhibits or verbal presentations in lieu of a comprehensive written report.
Situation dictates choice
Calculations can be sufficient when a written report may not be necessary, such as for an owner who's curious about business value for strategic planning or retirement purposes. Calculations also may facilitate settlement talks in shareholder disputes or divorces. Or they might help a client decide whether it's worthwhile to pursue a lawsuit.
Before testifying in court, however, the appraiser is likely to recommend upgrading to a formal valuation report. If settlement appears unlikely, the client probably should opt for a formal valuation report from the get-go.
Take note that calculations may raise a red flag when they accompany gift, estate or charitable donation tax forms. Most valuators recommend a formal report that adheres to IRS guidelines for tax purposes and meets the IRS's Adequate Disclosure requirements. A calculation wouldn't meet those requirements, which can have negative consequences in gift tax situations. This is because the written report typically serves as a valuator's direct testimony, should the return wind up in front of the U.S. Tax Court.
Narrowing the engagement
Clients also can save time and money by omitting specific valuation procedures from a calculation engagement. Or they may specifically prescribe a method they deem most appropriate for the calculation's intended use.
To illustrate: Suppose two disputing partners opt for a calculation — rather than a full-blown valuation report — to facilitate an out-of-court settlement. They specifically agree to omit the guideline public company method when calculating the value of their small private accounting firm. They also stipulate in advance concerning discounts for lack of marketability and control.
However, again, the cost and time savings may be for naught if the partners don't settle. To withstand courtroom scrutiny, calculations generally must be upgraded to formal valuation engagements. If they're not taken to the next level, an appraiser may refuse to testify in court. Be aware, too, that the appraiser's value conclusion after completing the omitted steps or analyses may differ materially from his or her calculation.
Disclosure is key
Some clients have limited access to the subject company's financial data, personnel or facilities. Lack of relevant information can be especially problematic when the client owns a noncontrolling business interest or is a nonmonied spouse in divorce.
But a valuator can perform a calculation without complete access to information. For example, he or she may base the value exclusively on, say, the past two years' tax returns. A calculation also could be performed without interviewing management or conducting site visits. However, all omissions and limitations must be fully disclosed in the calculation letter.
Know the limits
When an appraiser is engaged to perform a calculation, communication is critical. The engagement letter — a legal contract between the client and appraiser — establishes expectations up front. Additionally, valuators specifically list scope limitations in their engagement letters, spreadsheets and written reports.
It's imperative that clients and professional advisors understand the limitations of value calculations. Further, in considering whether a calculation engagement is appropriate, the most important factor is the ultimate use (and users) of the appraisal. In some cases, a value conclusion can differ materially from a value calculation.
When it's all said and done
The next time a client requires a business appraisal, consider whether performing a calculation might be a better alternative. After all, it might provide the needed results for less expense. Your valuation advisor can help you make that determination. Be aware, though, that certain circumstances — such as gift and estate tax filings or disagreements that are bound for the courtroom — lend themselves to opting for a conclusion of value.

What if the aliens in Arrival had 'thoughtful' horse eyes or purple skin ruffles?
According to some of the concept art, they could have
By Kaitlyn Tiffany@kait_tiffany Nov 29, 2016, 3:41pm EST
Share All sharing options for: What if the aliens in Arrival had 'thoughtful' horse eyes or purple skin ruffles?
Cinema Blend interviewed Arrival concept artist Peter Konig today, and he gave them a glimpse at a number of alternate universes — his other designs for Arrival's aliens, the heptapods, show all the worlds that might have been.
Konig emphasizes that director Denis Villeneuve was willing to entertain any and all ideas during the brainstorm phase, and that he wanted to hear a lot of them. Villeneuve opted to deliberately stray from the descriptions in the source material, Ted Chiang's short piece "Story of Your Life." Chiang describes the aliens as essentially barrels, with seven legs arranged in radial symmetry. Villeneuve's adaptation keeps the name "heptapods," and therefore keeps the seven legs as well, but the rest of the aliens' bodies are notably different. They're partially hidden in fog for most of the movie, but when the audience catches glimpses of them, they look like enormous, gray, faceless octopi.
Villeneuve sent Konig photos of cuttlefish, squids, and various microscopic organisms for inspiration. He also sent him a photo of horse eyes, because horse eyes are "soft and thoughtful" and "a little spooky."
horse eyes are "thoughtful" and "a little spooky"
In the film's production notes, Villeneuve mentions wanting to capture the feeling of standing next to a blue whale or an elephant — awe, but not necessarily fear. He also says his crew stayed away from the idea of making the heptapods look like humans in any way, because he believes humanoid aliens are intrinsically scarier to viewers.
Konig says this purple guy was one of the earlier contenders for the design. The final design for the aliens does include robot-claw hands that are a bit unnerving, but they're much less sinister than this mock-up, in which some of the tentacles look like the possessed tree limbs from the 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I like him, but he's too scary! No eyes! Also, my editor Tasha says his head looks like a bird skull. Agree, and again: too scary.
Peter Konig / Cinema Blend
Another early concept seems to have incorporated the horse-eye idea in a way that does not appeal to me. It's beautifully drawn, though, and these limbs seem like a good fit for the way the heptapods lackadaisically squirt out their ink-circle language. This one also looks like a bird, but Tasha says it's more like a sideways horse head made of driftwood, with a snake tongue lolling out of its mouth. Okay! Either way, the fact that it's basically a Rorschach ink blot makes it fit better with the film's aesthetic than the last dude.
Konig told Cinema Blend he understood why these concepts weren't chosen, saying, "Making the alien elements crazy and fantastical would pull the focus away from the point of the story, so keeping everything minimal was smart. Also, the minimalism will keep it from looking dated in 10 or 20 years, I think."
He also submitted concept artwork for the aliens' spaceship, including this idea for the human-alien interface that looks pretty close to what you see in the film. For more of his artwork and commentary, check out the full interview.

Man United's BEST Three Players Against Newcastle
March 6, 2015 Pat
Manchester United's 1-0 victory over Newcastle United last night, their 4th away win of the season in the Premier League, was not built on the back of some great individual displays. However, who were the three Red Devils who fared better than their colleagues on the night?
The Belgian's inclusion in the starting lineup for last night's game was an astute decision from Louis van Gaal, who seems to have figured out a way to get the best out of the midfielder. Fellaini played in the No.10 position, behind Wayne Rooney, and did a good job for his team, as he used his physical strength to shrug off challenges from the opposition's defenders and thereby retain possession for Manchester United.
Fellaini won 78% of the 9 aerial duels he was involved in, a piece of stat that shows his prowess in the air, completed 83% of his attempted passes, completed 5 of his 7 attempted take-ons and attempted 4 shots on goal, keeping 2 of them on target. It was a good display from Fellaini, who could have a significant role to play in the coming weeks of Manchester United's 2014/15 campaign.
The Ecuadorian produced another solid display at right-back, as he found the balance between defense and attack absolutely correctly. His passing was crisp; combined with Angel Di Maria, who played as the right-winger, superbly and predominantly got the better of Sammy Ameobi, who played on Newcastle United's left-hand-side, in a defensive sense.
On the night: Valencia completed 97% of his attempted passes; created 1 goal scoring chance and completed 1 of his 4 attempted crosses. The 29-year old had a 50% success rate in take-ons, and attempted tackles.
The Spaniard had 2 crucial saves, 1 in each half, to make in last night's game. His first save came in the first half, when both teams were on parity and a goal for Newcastle could have posed serious problems for Manchester United, who weren't playing as well as they can. Then, right at the fag end of the game, with Manchester United in the lead, de Gea made a reflex save to deny Papiss Demba Cisse's strong header, to earn his side all 3 points. Although Young scored the decisive goal, de Gea's crucial saves cannot be overlooked.
Van Gaal would have been delighted with this result last night, simply because he didn't have Di Maria or Rooney playing well and Manchester United as a result lacked that creative spark during the course of the game.

Q: Codeigniter BUG?: Form validation class getting confused with arrays I need to create a form with the same group of fields (data is from database)
For example:
Group 1: Description field, Amount field, Others fields
Group 2: Description field, Amount field, Others fields
Group 3: Description field, Amount field, Others fields

So in my view I loop the database values:
$i = 0;

foreach ($data_from_db as $data) {

  $description = array(
    'name'  => 'description[]',
    'id'    => 'description_field['.$i.']',
    'value' => set_value('description[]', $data->description)
  );

  echo form_label(lang('reward_description'), 'description_field['.$i.']');
  echo form_textarea($description);
  echo form_error('description[]');

  // more fields generated here in similar ways

  $i++
}

In my controller I have:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('description[]', 'lang:project_edit_description', 'required');

// more similar rules here

According to the Codeigniter documentation this is the correct way to do it, but its no working correctly.
Codeigniter is getting confused with the validation messages.
For example, if I leave intentionally one of the descriptions fields empty and submit the form, I get the validation error message in all the groups (I get "the Description field is required" also for group 1, 2 and 3)

A: Just set rules for each indexed field. Following snippets show a working example (Improve it as you require):

Test controller:
function index()
{
    if ($_POST)
    {
        foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
        {
            if ($key == 'description' && is_array($value))
            {
                foreach ($value as $i => $vector)
                {
                    // set rule for each index
                    $this->form_validation->set_rules('description[' . $i . ']', 'description ' . ($i + 1), 'trim|required');
                }
            }
        }

        $this->form_validation->run();
    }

    $this->load->view('test');
}

Test view views/test.php:
<?php

echo form_open('');

$data_from_db = $_POST ? $_POST['description'] : array('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc');
$i = 0;

foreach ($data_from_db as $data)
{
    $description = array(
        'name' => 'description[]',
        'value' => set_value('description[]', $data)
    );

    echo form_label('description ' . ($i + 1) . ':');
    echo form_textarea($description);
    echo '<br>';
    // set error for each index
    echo form_error('description[' . $i . ']');

    // more fields generated here in similar ways

    $i ++;
}

echo form_submit('mysubmit', 'Try it');
echo form_close();
?>

This code will show The description x field is required. only in the empty fields.

Iraq announces its intention to buy Russian missile system
Baghdad - Sputnik . The Iraqi parliament approved a decision to set a timetable for the departure of foreign troops, after the elimination of the organization "Daash."
A parliamentary source told "Sputnik" parliamentary approval of the decision "after the announcement of victory over terrorist groups."
The parliament's resolution thanked the countries that supported Iraq in its war against "Da'ash".
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in February at the International Conference for the Reconstruction of Iraq that his country had succeeded in eliminating the organization of the Islamic state.
Abadi said half of the more than 5 million internally displaced people in Iraq had been repatriated.

I guess I have been giving Abadi and Jubouri wayyyy to much credit. One would think that after a Kurdish politician grabbed the budget out of the hand to stop the last reading they would have police or soldiers in the room. I'm beginning to think that this is their plan, a sort of stall process. At Saturdays meeting they should ban and jail Kurdish politicians from the parliament once they start their childish games for interference of the government business.
As bad as I want this RV I'm beginning to think that Abadi will have jail more of the corruption before he can get Iraq straightened out. I can see Abadi's big picture plan an that is to dissolve the Kurdistan government completely. In time Kurdistan will be no more than a big Mosul or Basra, he already wants to change the name from Kurdistan to the North Region...all in my opinion of course...


FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA recommends giving a gift of museum membership this holiday season. On the occasion of the publication of her new book "Becoming," Obama contributed a gift guide to People magazine. She said when she first became a mom, she and her girlfriends would take their children on museum tours.
She mentioned art, artists, and museums throughout the guide. She touted blue O.P.I. nail polish, the shade she wore for her sitting with Baltimore artist Amy Sherald who painted her official portrait for the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. Obama also suggested the exhibition catalog for Kehinde Wiley's survey "A New Republic." She said, "Barack and I love Kehinde. Every piece of his is a conversation starter." Giving experiences over something that comes in a box was also among her recommendations. As an example, she mentioned that "Tomorrow Is Another Day," Mark Bradford's exhibition currently on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art, is one of her favorites.
Obama makes a cameo appearance in Culture Type's 2018 holiday gift guide, a curated selection of ideas for the art lovers on your list. The First Lady's fashion choice for the dedication of the new Whitney Museum of American Art building influenced the design for a necktie now available at the museum. Works by a variety of artists including Nina Chanel Abney, Kerry James Marshall, Adrian Piper, Tschabalala Self, Mickalene Thomas, and Charles White (1918-1979), inspired the other selections in this year's guide. Of particular note, Hauser & Wirth produced a new collection of limited edition pocket squares, scarves, and wraps featuring the abstract works of Jack Whitten (1939-2018).

Nice post! I would have also included the recently reissued book The Sweet Flypaper of Life, by Langston Hughes and Roy DeCarava.


According to ancient Greek mythology, peacock feathers are said to symbolise all-seeing knowledge. These peacock feather charms are the perfect addition to your charm bracelet or make a great pendant or pair of earrings. They`re double sided, so whichever way you hang them you can see the pretty feather patterns and the great thing is as there`s a gap in the bottom of the feather it can also be used as a connector link!

2 - In April 2010, TELECO's names was officially changed to NATCOM
3 - NATCOM (TELECO) is now a private company and they own all of Haiti's land-lines.

Artisanal Toronto-based chocolate boutique, Mary's Brigadeiro, is giving Canadians a new taste for chocolate with delicious handcrafted Brazilian treats.
What do you call a small hand-rolled chocolate treat made of pure cocoa, condensed milk, and buttery goodness? A brigadeiro, of course.
With a vision of offering a unique and gourmet chocolate experience that truly inspires happiness, Mary Oliveria opened Mary's Brigadeiro, an artisanal Toronto-based chocolate boutique dedicated to producing high-quality and delicious handcrafted Brazilian treats.
What started as a means of survival for Mary's family turned into a passion for creating the traditional Brazilian pastries. Growing up in Sao Paulo, Mary's mother would make brigadeiros and savoury snacks every morning before going door-to-door to sell them.
It's how she supported the family and put her children through school. That's where Mary first learned to make brigadeiros. She went on to earn a university degree and found work in the corporate sector, when, one day, she made brigadeiros for her best friend's wedding to raving reviews. That was the catalyst that propelled Mary into changing course and making brigadeiros full-time.
Today, Mary produces gourmet brigadeiros from her Danforth chocolate boutique, which includes a chocolate creation lab to develop new flavours. The store was created as a hybrid production space for customers to observe and experience the brigadeiro making with the retail space, which has turned into a pleasant surprise, says Jason Coombs, Mary's business partner and husband.
What makes Mary's brigadeiros different than other desserts? "It's a new experience in loving chocolate," says Jason.
Each and every brigadeiro is rolled by hand and has the same creamy smooth texture inside. Mary uses different levels of high-quality cocoa and combines them with locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, like lavender or maple.
Ranging from 54% to 84% cocoa, Mary uses the level of cocoa that pairs best with the flavours. Clients often offer inspiration for new flavours, even suggesting things like Kefir cheese and bubble tea. While those particular flavours won't be added to line-up, you can find seasonal flavours like caramel pumpkin spice and passion fruit, alongside traditional flavours, like dark chocolate and almond, that are always available.
There's lots to be excited for this year, says Jason. Earlier this year, Mary's released its 70% cocoa spread. It's a real chocolate spread, similar to a Nutella spread, but made without using nuts, says Jason. Not to mention the brigadeiro cookie, which is filled with different types of brigadeiro flavours and hard tarts filled with the delicious brigadeiro spread.
Right in time for the Easter season, Mary's will be releasing its special Easter Egg brigadeiro. It's a half-size egg made of temperate chocolate: it's filled with the 70% cocao chocolate spread and different flavour brigadeiros. half is filled with 70% cocoa chocolate spread, while the other is filled with brigadeiros. Only 50 will be available for purchase. The traditional Brazilian Easter dessert is truly a chocolate innovation in Canada.
In addition to its Chocolate Lab location and e-commerce store, Mary's Brigadeiro can be found at different locations around Toronto, including the Saks Food Hall by Pusateri's at the Toronto Eaton Centre, Dineen Coffee Shop & Outpost, Hot Black Coffee and Cafe23. You'll soon be able to find them at Vincenzo's in Waterloo and Caffeine & Co. in Amherstburg, as well as in stores in Ottawa, with plans to be in major city across Canada & the U.S. in the future.
Why Brim and Mary's Brigadeiro?
"We love Brim's philosophy in giving people more options, particularly with loyalty. The customer is always number one for us, and it's something that Brim cares about too – they designed their platform to actually reward a lifestyle.


On the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War I, our BB band proudly led the town parade from the Market Square to the memorial on Crown Hill. And that evening, having attended the special service in St Lawrence Church, our buglers played "Last Post" in the dark churchyard, at exactly 6.55pm — the same time as it was being played in hundreds of similar "Battle's Over" celebrations around the nation.
Alton Town Council, in a letter of thanks, expressed their gratitude to our band for undertaking these duties for the town.

[04:56] There are also wine tasting notes that tell you about the winery and what foods to pair it with.
[05:39] Eric wanted a true home-based business where he could build a business from home. That is what he saw with Direct Cellars.

A: Is your application in Landscape? if so, check this answer out:
onDestroy gets called each time the screen goes on
Short answer: implement onConfigurationChanged() and change the AndroidManifest.xml file for this activity to: android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"

A: according to the life cycle of the Android activity, when an activity becomes background, onPause is called, however, from now on, the system can kill the activity by its will, ie. the system requires more memory.

if command -v dpkg &> /dev/null; then
    dpkg -i ./my_app.deb

The Arabian ostrich, Syrian ostrich, or Middle Eastern ostrich (Struthio camelus syriacus) is an extinct subspecies of the ostrich that lived on the Arabian Peninsula and in the Near East until the mid-20th century.

Distribution[edit]
Leopard attacking an ostrich on a mosaic from Roman Syria
Its range seems to have been continuous in prehistoric times, but with the drying-up of the Arabian Peninsula, it disappeared from the inhospitable areas of the Arabian Desert, such as the Rub' al Khali. In historic times, the bird seems to have occurred in two discrete relict populations: a smaller one in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula[2] and a larger one in the area where today the borders of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq and Syria meet.[3] Towards the Sinai Peninsula, it probably intergraded with the North African subspecies camelus in earlier times.[clarification needed] It looked exactly like that form; possibly, the females were of a slightly lighter coloration. The only certain way to distinguish camelus and syriacus was the smaller size of the latter, with only marginal overlap: the tarsus was 390–465 mm long in syriacus versus 450–530 mm in camelus.
Relationship with humans[edit]
The Arabian ostrich has long had a significant place in the culture of the region. An adult with 11 offspring is featured on the famous prehistoric "Graffiti Rock I" near Riyadh[citation needed]. In Mesopotamia, it was used as a sacrificial animal and featured in artwork, painted on cups and other objects made from ostrich eggs, traded as far as Etruria during the Neo-Assyrian period. In Tang China, an ostrich was a welcome exotic gift fit for an emperor: ostriches figure in the decoration of the Qianling Mausoleum, completed and closed in 706.
The Jewish view of this bird was less favorable. The fact that the female ostrich may leave the nest unattended (because the eggs are too thick-shelled to be easily broken open by predators) is the reason why the bird is contrasted with the parental instinct of the stork in the Book of Job (Job 39:13-18.[4][5]) This is also the reason why the Book of Lamentations (Lamentations 4:3) refers to the female ostrich as heartless.[4] The Arabian ostrich is possibly[6] among the birds forbidden to Jews as unclean under the kashrut in Leviticus (Leviticus 11:16), though the Israelites would just as likely have known the birds from the North African subspecies, which was extant in the Nile Valley of Egypt at that time.
In Roman times, there was a demand for ostriches to use in venatio games or cooking. These birds usually would have come from the North African subspecies rather than from the Arabian one, as the latter was only found in the unruly frontier regions of the Roman Empire, although it is to be noted that much later, the plumes of the Arabian ostrich were considered superior material for hatmaking compared to those of the North African subspecies.
Depiction from Petra, Jordan
After the rise of Islam, the Arabian ostrich came to represent wealth and elegance; ostrich hunting became a popular pastime for the rich and noble (if slaughtered properly, ostrich meat is halaal to Muslims) and eggs, feathers and leather were extensively used in handicraft. Arabian ostrich products, as well as live birds, were exported as far as China. A Tang Dynasty source states that the "camel bird" inhabiting Arabia is
"four chi and more in height, its feet resembling those of a camel; its neck is very strong, and men are able to ride on its back...".
The Arabian ostrich was also discussed in Mesopotamian scholarly writings from the time of the Baghdad Caliphate, such as Zakariya al-Qazwini's cosmography 'Aja'ib al-makhluqat wa-ghara'ib al-mawjudat, the Kitab al-Hayawan ("Book of Animals") of Al-Jahiz, or Ibn Manzur's dictionary Lisan al-Arab.
The Arabian ostrich is mentioned by T.E. Lawrence in Seven Pillars of Wisdom, when one Arabian tribe brings eggs to Faisal I of Iraq as a peace offering. It is mentioned that the ostrich is plentiful in that tribe's territory.
Extinction[edit]
Engraving of an ostrich hunt in Palestine from 1877
The widespread introduction of firearms and, later, motor vehicles marked the start of the decline towards extinction of this subspecies. Earlier hunting methods with bow, arrows and dogs had allowed most animals of a group to escape, but rifles enabled poaching and excessive game hunting to diminish the species into extinction. By the early 20th century, the Arabian ostrich had become rare. Its main stronghold was the northern Nefud northwards to the Syrian Desert, between latitudes 34°N and 25°N and longitude 38°E eastwards to the Euphrates Valley, and it was most plentiful in Al Jawf Province, where it associated with herds of Saudi gazelle and Arabian oryx, animals that are now extinct or very rare respectively. Some of the last sightings include an individual east of the Tall al-Rasatin at the Jordanian-Iraqi border in 1928, a bird shot and eaten by pipeline workers in the area of Jubail in the early 1940s (some sources specifically state 1941), two apocryphal records of birds suffering the same fate in 1948, and a dying individual found in the upper Wadi el-Hasa north of Petra in 1966.[citation needed] Remains of old eggs are still found in the former range of the southern subpopulation, which disappeared between the 1900s and the 1920s, probably mainly because of increasing aridity. Some eggshell fragments were collected by St. John Philby from Mahadir Summan, Arabia, around 1931.[7]
Evolutionary history[edit]
Following analyses of mtDNA control region haplotypes that confirmed the close relationship of the Arabian and the North African subspecies,[8] a reintroduction project using S. c. camelus was set up in Saudi Arabia.[9] Today, the North African ostrich has been re-introduced from captivity to the open areas of the Negev in Israel where the Arabian ostrich lived before.

And Emmert Stuck it In, Aided by Paul Surma!
There is indeed a shitstorm brewing over the NCAA sanctions levied against Penn State. A whole buncha revelations have emerged in the past couple of weeks out of the discovery phase of a lawsuit against the NCAA filed in state court by Pennsylvania state Senator Jake Corman and state treasurer Rob McCord challenging the $60 million fine levied by the overreaching NCAA against the University.
You might recall the series from back in 2012-3 called "Laser Focus." Those of you new to the Nittany Turkey might not. The term "laser focus" came from yet another denial by then BoT chair Karen Peetz, who stonewalled questions by asserting that we all must keep a laser focus on the future of the University. In other words, shaddup and let us sell out.

Seattle, WA Tabletop Games
Your Best Game Ever is not your typical RPG sourcebook. It's not a book with adventures, spells, creatures, or magic items. It's not a book for characters at all, but a book for players! If you play or run roleplaying games, this book is for you. Inside this gorgeous hardcover book, suitable for your coffee table or your gaming table, you will find advice and suggestions for enhancing your RPG experience at the table and away from it. This is an insider's look at everything that goes into the hobby—finding a group, making a character, running a game, creating adventures, finding all the right ideas, hosting a game…and that's just for starters.
If You're an Experienced Gamer
You've been gaming for a while now. Maybe even years. You get the concepts, and you understand the rules. No one needs to explain the dice to you. Your Best Game Ever embraces the hobby you love, and provides real tips, immediately usable advice, and hands-on pointers you can use at your game table. You'll find everything here from enhancing immersion, tips for running games online, creating characters with depth, worldbuilding, designing rules, dealing with personality conflicts that arise at the table, and more!
If You're Fairly New to Gaming
Your friends play RPGs. You've maybe watched some streaming games, or given it a try a few times. You get the general idea, but where do you go from there? How do you really get into this hobby the way so many others have? This book will give you everything you need to learn how to choose the right game, how to fit into your game group or start your own group, and get you going on the fast track to being a great gamer.
Not a Rule Book, But a Tool Book
Your Best Game Ever is divided into three major sections: general game topics, being a player, and being a game master. There's even a section on designing your own game, and getting it published. And this isn't just a stuffy book on theory, either. You'll find actual suggestions you can use to create better characters with character arcs, real recipes you can make for game night (and even spruce them up for your genre of choice), specific suggestions for music and ambiance depending on genre, plot ideas, character ideas, and other ready-to-use material.
This 240-page book will enable you to become a better gamer. You'll find ways to create and manage a great game group, tricks for game prep (and what to do if you haven't prepared!), understanding and managing game balance, and taking everything around you and incorporating it as inspiration for your game.
Monte Cook, the principal author, has been playing RPGs for 40 years, and working on them professionally for 30 years. The MCG team, all of whom will be contributing, are an extremely seasoned group with a combined total of over 250 years of RPG experience. But we wanted to get an even wider and diverse set of experiences and points of view in this book, so we've recruited a team of folks that will provide feedback as well as their own contributions for the book. This dream team of consulting experts includes:
Eric Campbell
Matt Colville
Luke Crane
Stacy Dellorfano
Tanya DePass
Ajit George
Jennell Jaquays
Eloy Lasanta
Tom Lommel
Matthew Mercer
Susan J. Morris
Alina Pete
Monica Valentinelli
The book will also feature comics and cartoons from:
John Kovalic (Dork Tower)
Vickie Lee (Dungeons and Doggos)
Aviv Or (Up to Four Players)
Brian Patterson (d20 Monkey)
Len Peralta (Geek-a-Week)
Alina Pete (Weregeek)
Stan! (10x10Toon)

In 2011, Monte created Numenera, and with it, a game system called the Cypher System. This game system has won awards and has been lauded by gamers everywhere as a wonderfully different way to play games of any genre. In 2015, we created the Cypher System Rulebook (CSR) to help gamers use the system for any type of game they wanted to play—fantasy, science fiction, horror, superheroes, and so on. You can get a copy of that book in this Kickstarter campaign, but we're also Kickstarting a new version that will come out in 2019. The new version will incorporate lots of new options for players, but perhaps best of all it will take the concepts from Your Best Game Ever and apply them directly to the Cypher System. These two books will work hand-in-hand to create the best Cypher game ever!
(Scroll down for more details on the new Cypher System Rulebook)
If you're new to the Cypher System and are curious about how it works, you can download the free Cypher System Rules Primer for an idea of how the game plays.
Now that the Kickstarter has funded, our stretch goals will focus on the development of various genre-focused books that will take the concepts found in the new CSR and take them one step further, with specific examples. Each of these additional books will include an entirely new and original campaign setting as well as lots of material and advice for making your own in the realms of science fiction, fantasy, and more.
You've read the effusive descriptions above. Is Your Best Game Ever really for everyone? More importantly, is it for you? Maybe it would be better to just show you what's in the book. Here's a brief listing of some of the topics we'll cover:
Click here for a closer look!
Our goal with this book is to make every game your best game ever. But we know–as GMs, players, and designers ourselves–that every game and every experience is unique. What's the hardest struggle you have with creating great games, either as a player or as a GM? Looking for some GM or player advice? Let us know at this link. (Once the KS is complete and we've started working on the book, we'll look through your comments to make sure the book covers players' biggest issues and concerns.)
When we were finishing the new Numenera books, Discovery and Destiny, one of the first things that playtesters asked us was, are you going to incorporate some of the cool new material in these books into the Cypher System?
A valid question. And it got me (Monte) really thinking about the Cypher System Rulebook as a whole. I didn't want to change the rules—I love the Cypher System, and wouldn't touch the mechanics. But developing Numenera Discovery and Destiny showed me that there was a lot we could add in terms of player abilities and flexibility, and what the CSR really needs is flexibility. The idea that you can create any campaign in any genre is fundamental to the whole idea. And I realized we could take some steps to push that idea a lot further.
So we're Kickstarting a brand new, revised 416-page Cypher System Rulebook. Before I go any further, though, let me say right now, if you've got the existing Cypher System Rulebook and you're happy with it, great! These new ideas don't change the way the rules work. You still roll a d20, you've still got difficulties 1⎼10, you've still got characters with descriptors, types, and foci. NPCs have levels. PCs use effort to decrease the difficulty. Everything is still fully compatible with everything Cypher-related that we've ever published. You'll be able to play a game with half the characters from the original CSR and half from the new CSR all at the table at the same time. The difference isn't in how the game is played, but in the choices players get to create and run their characters.
What I'm most excited about are the ways I've thought about over the last few years to make things more customizable so that you could even more easily use these rules in any setting. To that end, in this book we're dramatically streamlining the chapter on character focus, so that you can customize your character's focus to perfectly match the setting and your character concept. So if you're making a starship pilot, a superhero, or an occult investigator, you don't choose the one that fits best from a list of foci—you take your character concept and tailor your focus so that it really fits what you want to do.
Based on player feedback, we're also making what we call subtle cyphers—cyphers that aren't tied to a specific object—the default for all genres, and we'll be including way more of them. (You'll still be able to have cyphers as objects too.) This will make applying the concept of cyphers, which is obviously core to the system, easy no matter what kind of game you're playing.
And of course, there's all those new additions from Numenera Discovery and Destiny that add a lot of new options that just make the game better. They're not really changes, they're additions—new character abilities, more choices, player intrusions in addition to GM intrusions, and more. These will all be incorporated into the new CSR. And let me say again, it's still all entirely compatible with existing Cypher System material, whether it be from the CSR or one of our settings like Gods of the Fall, Predation, or Unmasked (and of course, Numenera and The Strange).
Further, we'll also be incorporating suggestions from Your Best Game Ever directly into this book. So, for example, Your Best Game Ever will talk about creating character arcs to enhance play, while the specific material for creating Cypher System character arcs as a mechanic will be included in this book.
Lastly, we'll include even more genres you can use, in addition to fantasy, horror, and so on. We're going to break science fiction into hard sci-fi and space opera/science fantasy, and we'll add coverage for romance, historical gaming, and more! Learn more about the changes we're planning to make here.

The BEST RETAILER EVER! level is a flexible way for you to decide how many copies of Your Best Game Ever and related products are right for your store, and to avoid tying up your cash between now and release. Your pledge is a down payment for an order to be placed, at a retail-friendly discount, when Your Best Game Ever and the revised Cypher System Rulebook are ready to ship. You can choose as many copies as you like of the books individually. You'll pay for your order (less your $80 deposit) at that time. It is likely (but not guaranteed) that you will get them ahead of street date, and you are welcome to begin selling them immediately. In addition to those books, you get a free deluxe Your Best Game Ever PoP kit. MCG covers domestic US shipping.
You might be wondering, "How do I select an add-on?" It's easy. Select the Manage Your Pledge button on the right-hand side of the Kickstarter page and increase your pledge for the amount listed for the add-on. For example, if you want Early Playtest Access, add $100 to your pledge. It's that easy. After the campaign closes, we'll be using a service called Backerkit to collect your information, and at that time you can specify the add-on that you've already paid for.
Why does Monte Cook Games use Kickstarter to fund so many of its projects? In a word, you. You're reading this right now on Kickstarter because you're an invested game fan interested in what's new and innovative in gaming—and thus you're exactly who we write our products for. If MCG were a company that made its way by publishing just another adventure or just another sourcebook every few months, we would have a hard time justifying Kickstarter. But that isn't our passion. Our passion is innovation and creation, but that requires up-front capital and—probably even more importantly—a test of the audience to determine if our ideas meet people's needs and wants. Kickstarter provides us with that. In turn, it puts us in a position to reward those early adopters with great deals, early access, and transparency. We think it's a win-win for everyone. But we use traditional sales channels as well, so if you'd like to check out some of our other products, like Numenera, The Strange, or Invisible Sun, you can go to our online store or visit your favorite local game retailer.
Soon after the Your Best Game Ever Kickstarter campaign ends, we will invite you to review your pledge on BackerKit. This allows you to confirm your pledge and add anything that you might have missed.
While we use BackerKit to organize backers, pledges, and add-ons, we don't fulfill rewards through them. Instead, your rewards from this Kickstarter campaign will be fulfilled through the MCG Shop, which puts you, the backer, in charge of redeeming them at your convenience.
Here's how it works: when your rewards are ready, we'll notify you by email to check your MCG Shop account, which will be updated with coupons that let you redeem your rewards for free through our online store. You decide when to use the coupon, at which time we'll ask you to provide or update your shipping address. If you have multiple rewards coming, you may delay redemption of your rewards to bundle them together into one shipment to save on shipping costs. We guarantee a product will be in stock for you as one of your rewards for at least one year after the product's release date. This applies to all methods of shipping described below.
If you move between reward shipments, you won't need to tell us, since you'll simply enter your new address the next time you redeem a reward. If this is a gift and you want to ship it directly to the recipient, simply enter the recipient's shipping address as the Ship To address when you redeem your reward.
DOMESTIC SHIPPING We offer USPS basic shipping within the United States for free. If you're super-eager to get your rewards, you can upgrade to a higher shipping class, but you'll be charged accordingly at the time of fulfillment.
SHIPPING WITHIN THE UNITED KINGDOM, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, AND NEW ZEALAND Your reward will be filled by our shipping center in the UK. The cost of shipping is not included in your pledge—it will be an additional charge for you. However, it will be much less expensive than paying for shipping from the US to you.
The UK shipping center ships to the following countries: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING International shipping is not included in your pledge. (Backers in the UK, Europe, Australia, or New Zealand: please refer to the previous section, above.)
International shipping is expensive. We don't have any control over that, and we can't accurately predict what shipping rates will be at the time of fulfillment. If you're an international backer and have questions about shipping rates, we recommend you visit the USPS website to get an estimate. Please also be aware that you are responsible for import duties, taxes, and brokerage fees, and that we must comply with international law and cannot mark your reward as a gift or as a zero-value item.
If you have multiple items coming as rewards, you can mitigate shipping costs by waiting to have several of them shipped together. We guarantee that each reward will be available for a minimum period of one year from its official release date.
To ease the burden of international shipping costs, we subsidize all non-UK/Europe international customer orders and backer reward fulfillment orders with a $10 discount. You'll pay the shipping costs at the time of fulfillment, minus the $10 discount, which is automagically (and invisibly) applied through the inner workings of the MCG Shop (you won't see the discount reflected on your order, but it is applied to all international orders outside of the UK/Europe). In other words, if the cost to ship the parcel to you is $62 USD, you'll pay $52 USD. The $10 shipping discount is applied once per parcel, not per item.
This is the twelfth Kickstarter campaign for Monte Cook Games. All of our previous campaigns have been successful and jam-packed with rewards. Most of those campaigns are completely fulfilled, and we have a strong record for fulfilling rewards on time—we've delivered over 250,000 rewards to date. These include such varied items as corebooks for Numenera and The Strange, leather-bound deluxe corebooks, boxed sets, almost two-dozen hardcover supplements, signed bookplates, playtest access, special-access seminars, meetings and dinners with the creative team, online and in-person games, and so much more.
Thus, while there are always challenges that can arise, we've probably already faced them.
We are extremely proud of our track record. There's been bumps on the road, but what are roads without bumps? We're confident that the project will meet all its promises.

In re Mid-City Parking, Inc.
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division
October 31, 2005, Decided ; October 31, 2005, Filed
Chapter 11, 04 B 45177
[*801] AMENDED MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter presents the question of whether a trustee or debtor-in-possession may unilaterally waive the protections of the automatic stay to proceed with acts of estate administration that would otherwise violate 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) if performed by anyone else. Clark Polk Land, LLC ("Clark Polk") has requested an award of costs and attorneys' fees incurred as the result of an appeal that the debtor-in-possession, Mid-City Parking, Inc. ("Mid-City"), allegedly filed in willful violation of the automatic stay imposed by § 362(a). The Court holds that a trustee or debtor-in-possession has such authority and furthermore denies Clark Polk's motion.
[*802] Background
Mid-City became a debtor-in-possession upon filing a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief on December 8, 2004, thereby triggering the automatic stay of 11 U.S.C. § 362(a). [**2] Prior to this filing, Clark Polk obtained a state court judgment against the debtor in the amount of $ 337,198.27 on August 4, 2004; the debtor's counterclaims against Clark Polk and Richard G'Sell were defeated the same day. On November 29, 2004, Clark Polk received an additional award of $ 90,582.08 for attorneys' fees, costs, and prejudgment interest. Subsequent to the Chapter 11 filing, on January 24, 2005, the debtor-in-possession appealed the entire $ 427,780.35 judgment to the Appellate Court of Illinois but did so without obtaining stay modification under § 362(d). Clark Polk brought a motion to dismiss the appeal before the Appellate Court of Illinois, arguing that the automatic stay in the Chapter 11 case prevented the debtor-in-possession from filing a notice of appeal from the state court judgment. On March 4, 2005, the Appellate Court of Illinois agreed with Clark Polk's position and dismissed Mid-City's appeal from the judgment.
In this bankruptcy case, Clark Polk has brought the instant motion for the costs and attorneys' fees incurred both to obtain dismissal of the state court appeal and to recover the costs and fees incurred in pursuing this motion. Clark Polk [**3] contends that the award is warranted under 11 U.S.C. § 105(a) because Mid-City's violation of § 362(a) was willful - that is, because Mid-City was aware the stay existed when it engaged in an intentional act in violation thereof.

Abandoned Factory is a ground forces map available in all modes. As the name suggests the map is set around an abandoned Factory complex; in general it offers somewhat all-around combat, but mainly close quarters. Wooden train cars provide excellent ambushing points in AB, as they can be shot through. The south of the map depicts a rail yard, with train cars that can be shot through, and a number of small buildings / storage tanks. The middle area of the map is the main factory complex with a series of large buildings, storage tanks, and pipes to fight around. The north of the map is more open, taking place outside of the main complex; it consists of open areas, with a smaller complex consisting of a few small buildings, in the middle.
The tank battles area is 2km x 2km, see the below table for the exact size in each game mode. The air battles area is 65km x 65km. Abandoned Factory was added in Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai".

Flowers are required for the identification and to aid detection of this ground orchid which dies back to subterranean tubers after flowering. Flowering of Prasophyllum robustum may be stimulated by fire. The few observations of this species have been made in early November.
Prasophyllum robustum is now known only from one small site in grassy and shrubby Eucalyptus amygdalina forest on well-drained brown loam derived from basalt.
