Abstract: This article provides explanations to how distance external qi therapy works by quoting various rigorously designed controlled experiments conducted at various parts of the world. It also introduces a new method of therapy, information therapy that relies on the entanglement of information carried by low hissing sound playback with mp3 player to entangle with the information of subjects exhibited by the facial photo with the whole system placed in a sealed carton. Preliminary results have shown huge potential for information therapy to be applied on neurological cases, particularly on autism/ADHD and dementia.
Qigong and Taiji (Taichi) have many similarities and are commonly bundled together in review papers [1, 2]. The RCTs on the benefits of qigong and Taiji had attracted the attention of healthcare professionals and in 2018 an accreditation standard guideline initiative for Taiji and Qigong instructors prepared by health professionals, integrative medicine academics, Taiji and Qigong instructors and public safety officers from various parts of the world was published . In Malaysia, a 1200-contact-hour Qigong Therapy occupational skill standard was developed by the government in 2011 .
There are 2 major categories in Qigong therapy. One is self-healing practice, where participants learn how to practice to improve health. The other one is qi therapy or external qi therapy (EQT), where participants do not need to practice anything but receive external qi treatment administered by qigong therapist. EQT can be done locally or at a distant [4, 5, 6]. It is common to have distant EQT conducted over internet meeting programs (eg: Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp, WeChat etc). Distant EQT is recognized as one of the Distant Healing Intention (DHI) therapies .
The common definitions of qi are "life force", "bioenergy", "vital energy" or simply "energy". From the scientific perspective that energy is limited by time and space, defining qi as a form of energy does not explain how distance EQT works. In fact, experiments of emitting external qi on-site to create photons (light), infrared (heat), electromagnetic wave (field energy) may be regarded as experiments on the conversion of energy A (qi) to energy B (photon, electromagnetic wave etc) .
Information Therapy is an extension of distant EQT. However, the association of the definition of qi with energy may complicate the introduction of Information Therapy since it is common knowledge that energy is not able to travel far without being absorbed or transformed. To avoid confusion arising from the common definitions of qi, it is better to address distant EQT and Information Therapy as DHI therapies.
Many rigorously designed experiments on how human intention can make changes to the physical world have provided plausible support to the mechanism of action of DHI therapies. In short, distant administration of external qi is indeed the administration of human intention or consciousness information. In DHI therapies, it is information that is working, not energy.
Many studies have pointed out that information can be converted into energy and therefore can make changes to physical world non-locally. A well-known study is the Experimental demonstration of information-to-energy conversion and validation of the generalized Jarzynski equality published by Nature Physics in 2010 where a particle is made to climb up a spiral-staircase-like potential exerted by an electric field and gains free energy larger than the amount of work done on it and that suggests a new fundamental principle of an 'information-to-heat engine' that converts information into energy .
The Three Levels Theory of Matter proposed by qigong scholar Pang Ming implies that information can be converted into energy and physical mass . It also points out that human consciousness is a form of information and that provides the basis of how external qi therapy works. The proposal is similar to the findings of various consciousness researchers.
In A Brief Introduction to Intention Host Device Research William Tiller points out that consciousness is a form of information; information can be converted into energy . Tiller has supported his claim by quoting 4 experiments that he had conducted by using his Intention Host Device (IHD); a specially designed electronic oscillator that can store and playback recorded intention (information).
The first experiment showed how the IHD could playback recorded intention to increase the pH of water in 72hrs; the second experiment showed how IHD could decrease the pH of water in the same duration. The first experiment was successfully replicated at 10 sites in Europe and the US. The third experiment showed how IHD could speed up the chemical activity of in vitro alkaline phosphatase, a liver enzyme, by 25 to 30% compared to controls. In the fourth experiment, the ATP/ADP ratio of fruit fly larvae was increased by 15%-20% compared to controls.
The confirmatory study by Patrizio Tressoldi has shown how human intention can entangle with photomultiplier a distance away . The study successfully replicated the findings observed in two previous experiments where participants were able to focus and entangle with a photomultiplier located approximately 7300 km away. This lends strong support to how DHI can work on the targeted subject.
In The Global Broadcast Autism Intention Experiment IHD was used to broadcast information to work on 44 autistic children in various parts of the world . It has confirmed that information imparted onto the names and addresses of subjects provided the healing effect. The report concludes, "The autism treatment evaluation checklist has been plotted for all 90 questions for all children, each month from baseline, and shows such remarkable visual trends, even without statistics, that children, parents and investigators are thrilled at these outcomes." The report has pointed out human intention or consciousness information is not bounded by time and space. All these findings have provided plausible explanation and support to how DHI therapies work.
The idea of iTherapy was borrowed from The Globally Broadcast Autism Intention Experiment: Part I however, there are a few major differences .
Instead of names and addresses of subjects, facial photos of subjects are used; we found facial photo better depicts a person.
Mp3 player is used, not electronic oscillator. Extremely low hissing sound is the carrier or medium of information for information therapy, instead of wave generated by oscillator in IHD.
Customized information is used for individual client instead of general information for all.
Information Therapy (iTherapy) is a form of DHI therapy. Information therapists would make evaluation to ascertain the pathological problems and send specific information to achieve the healing. The process of sending information is done with the therapist facing the photo of a subject, with a microphone next to the photo. The process is audio recorded and the hissing sound of the computer fan or the air-conditioner blower serves as the carrier of the information recorded. Subsequently, the recorded file is edited and playback to the photo of the subject 24/7. Information carried by the hissing sound recorded will entangle with the information of the client exhibited through the facial photo to make changes to the subject. The whole system is sealed in a box to prevent external disturbance. Subjects receiving the program need not do anything. Weekly feedback is required for therapists to make changes to the file if necessary.
iTherapy had been applied on many illnesses with varying degrees of success. They included Lyme disease, depression, autism, encephalitis, dementia and others. We found it is most effective in neurological cases. Preliminary results for autism and dementia have been most encouraging.
The initial plan was to investigate the effectiveness of iTherapy for autistic children by applying the Autism Treatment Evaluation Chart (ATEC) to monitor the changes . However, parents complained that the 77-point ATEC is too long and therefore a 6-point feedback guide was developed for the parents.
Six children age 7 to 10 years were recruited for the simple 4-week study. The spectrum of autism is wide and varied, children recruited were separated into groups according to DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria for Autism . Four of them were in Autism Spectrum Diagnosis (ASD) Level 1 who need little support and were attending normal schools. Two of them were in ASD Level 3 and were attending special schools; both of them have speech problems.
Parents have to provide feedback on the changes at the end of every week based on the 6 points. Parents would mark '1' for positive changes observed during the week, mark '0' if no changes were observed and mark '-1' if negative changes were observed. At the end of the fourth week, the scores were added. The results are in table 1.
With the exception of subject 4, all the rest have reported improvement in the 6 points.
Subject 4 did not show any improvement in Confidence & Independence and Vitality & Health but improved in other areas.
Subjects 4 and 6 stopped 12 months later, subject 2 stopped 21 months later with parents notifying not able to see changes in the past 1 month. All the rest have continued with iTherapy until now (December 23, 2018).
At the end of the 2nd week: My son is more stable now, he could finish 50 pages of Lego (game). I realized he was trying to express himself, not in long sentences but in 3 to 5 words, like "go find daddy". His attention span has improved as he can spend a longer period of time on paperwork. His understanding also getting better and can take simple instructions better. His emotion is stable for the whole week. But don't see much improvement in terms of speech ability.
At the end of the 4th week: His speech has increased and he imitates a lot what we say, his mind is clearer and learn things like spelling better. Thanks.
At the end of the 4th week: His eye contact has improved a lot and no longer put up the peace sign whenever I take his photo. His learning ability has improved greatly. Thanks.
Better task/routine completion without being distracted (losing focus).
Initiating more requests verbally though speech not clear.
His concentration on task improved. Mood control also improved. However, speech is still very slow though 'N' sound is emerging. Previously the speech therapist mentioned he could blow recorder softly for 5x only. Yesterday he was able to control well and able to blow softly up to 15x. Awareness of surrounding and reading people's emotions also improved.
From February 2016 to September 2018, iTherapy was applied on more than 90 autistic children, age 3 to 15 years, 74 boys and 19 girls. They were from various parts of the world and all of them have shown varying degrees of improvement. However, it is apparent that the younger the child, the better the results. Parents were told to continue with whatever treatment their children were receiving and they could discontinue iTherapy anytime as they wish.
Duration of treatment of autism depends on the condition of the children. Ideally, the treatment should continue until such time when their self-consciousness is stable. Most of the children were still under the care of iTherapy after 12 months. Eighteen parents have chosen to stop the program after 3 to 12 months, either because they were satisfied with the results or they could not see further improvement. The work on autism had attracted the attention of the press and in 2017 three Chinese dailies have given special reports on the application of iTherapy for autism [18, 19, 20].
Preliminary results on dementia (1 vascular dementia and 7 Alzheimer's) are very encouraging, all patients showed varying degree of improvements within 1 to 3 months. Those who started at a lower stage on Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) recovered faster and better . Regrettably, we do not have the medical records on their changes and improvements were only reported by family members and evaluation carried out by us based on GDS. In October this year, we started to apply Mini Memory State Evaluation (MMSE) to monitor patients . A patient recruited on 21 October 2018 had his MMSE score improved from 14/30 on day 1 to 23/30 on day 34th. That implies he has improved from "Stage 5: Moderate dementia" to "Stage 3: Mild Cognitive Impairment" of Global Deterioration Scale . Currently, the patient is in the 3rd month of the program. As in the case of autism, if they are not able to practice self-healing qigong, dementia patients would probably have to stay on iTherapy to maintain the mental condition for a long time.
Family members of 2 patients had decided to stop iTherapy at month 12th, they found the patients' personalities have returned to the condition before developing dementia, a condition they found unbearable. It was a curious development and the search for papers on the connection of personalities with the development of dementia confirmed that the patients have recovered to the same old personalities.
The paper Personality and resilience to Alzheimer's disease neuropathology: a prospective autopsy study reports, "high neuroticism and low agreeableness were associated with more advanced spread of tangles in limbic and neocortical regions, as indexed by Braak staging. Low trust (cynical, skeptical) and low straightforwardness (manipulative, deceptive) were the only facets associated with both the severity of Aβ neuritic plaques and the stage of neurofibrillary tangles ." The findings mirror what we have observed, our work on dementia has further confirmed the importance to manage emotions and bring harmony to society. Ideally, management of emotions should be introduced when patients regained self-consciousness.
Safe: More than 93 children and 60 adults of all ages, none has reported any adverse reaction. Likewise the study by Tiller had not detected any problems.
Promising: To date there is no medication that can stop the progression of dementia, but iTherapy had succeeded to reverse the conditions of 8 patients. Likewise for autism cases, all the cases have shown a positive development. Parents and family members have reported that they were surprised that iTherapy could bring results in a short period of time.
Convenient: It is highly convenient to the clients, they need not have to turn up regularly, weekly or monthly feedback through electronic messaging attached with current photo suffices.
Cost-effective: The cost of running iTherapy for a dementia patient and autistic children is a fraction of the cost of medication.
The results have shown huge potential for the application of iTherapy on various illnesses, particularly on neurological cases. To date, there are only three information therapists who are able to provide iTherapy services, two in Malaysia, one in the Netherlands. We hope to work with universities or institutions to train more people to develop this promising approach. We welcome any institutions who are interested to run a clinical trial with us.

Top Ten Thursday: Extreme Rules PPV Matches
With the recent reshuffling of the WWE Pay-Per-View schedule, Extreme Rules has been moved behind Payback. With that show on the horizon, it made my decision for this top ten a bit easier. I'm going to rank my top ten matches from Extreme Rules PPVs. They don't have to be of the Extreme Rules stipulation itself, just on the PPV. I'm also not counting One Night Stand event in 2008 that kind of had Extreme Rules as a secondary name. 2009 and beyond! The 2013 edition is the only one to not have a match make the list.
10. WWE World Heavyweight Championship Extreme Rules Match: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kane – Extreme Rules 2014
I probably liked this match more than some other people. Daniel Bryan getting a sustained run as WWE Champion was a dream come true that turned into a nightmare unfortunately. It started when he was put into a feud with a tired Kane that nobody really took seriously. Add in the awful acting of Brie Bella and you had a recipe for disaster when it came to the buildup to this match. However, when it came time for the actual match to go down, Kane and Daniel Bryan found some of the magic that they had when they were awesome together as Team Hell No. They were wise enough to try and work around Kane's limitations at his age, putting on a match filled with fun spots. They fought backstage, which we don't see often anymore, brought into multiple weapons and had a crazy finisher. Bryan used a forklift to bring Kane back to the ring and dove off of it with a headbutt. To top all of the unique spots, they brought a goddamn flaming table into play. That was unheard of in the PG era of WWE. Hell, it was rare in WWE period. A fun match that used the Extreme Rules stipulation very well.
9. Hair Match: CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio – Extreme Rules 2010
While compiling this list, I came to the conclusion that CM Punk usually managed to perform very well on the Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View. He appears here, later in the list and nearly made it for his outing against Randy Orton at the 2011 version of this show. CM Punk was in full on Straight Edge Messiah mode here and was in the midst of a really good rivalry with Rey Mysterio. The highlight of the feud was Punk singing "happy birthday" to Rey's daughter in a very creepy segment. Punk lost a disappointing match to Rey at WrestleMania the month before but put his hair on the line in the rematch. This one got the time that Mania didn't and it was much more fun. The Straight Edge Society got involved, though it may have been a bit too much which kept this from being a great match, but it made sense given the angle. Entering the match, Punk only had Luke Gallows and Serena but a third follower in a mask showed up to swing the momentum. He was revealed to be Joey Mercury and Punk finished Mysterio with the GTS to save his hair. Well, for another month at least since he'd get shaved a month later.
8. WWE Tag Team Championship: Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (c) vs. The New Day – Extreme Rules 2015
The lone match to make the list from last year's Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View, though Roman Reigns vs. Big Show came close. Again, this might be a match that I rated higher than most but I love both teams involved. The New Day were dead in the water shortly after their debut because cheesy babyfaces don't really work often. The crowd quickly turned on them and heading into this, they began to show off more heel tendencies. This was a really good back and forth tag team match without many shenanigans to start. Xavier Woods and Natalya had some interaction at ringside but nothing more. It was just Tyson Kidd, Cesaro, Big E and Kofi Kingston doing damn good things in the ring. Hell, Kidd and Cesaro only being able to team up for about six months is a damn travesty. They looked so comfortable in their new babyface role here. It was a distraction from Woods that allowed Kingston to rollup Cesaro and become the champions. It kick started the incredible run of the New Day for the next year, but at the time, it came across as very shocking since Kidd and Cesaro were gaining momentum.
7. WWE Championship Chicago Street Fight: CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho – Extreme Rules 2012
Chris Jericho returned on the first Raw of 2012 (in a very, very strange way) and the rumors began running that we'd get CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho at WrestleMania that year. Well, it happened and while I found it to be very good, it came across as a bit disappointing. People wanted a five star classic but it wasn't in the cards. Jericho chose to target Punk's straight edge lifestyle and his family history, making things more personal as they headed for a rematch at Extreme Rules. In Punk's hometown of Chicago, they met in a street fight and right from the start, I was excited because Punk showed up in street clothes. It's not a big thing but it adds a lot to a street fight in my eyes. Now this wasn't the all-time classic that fans expected either, but it proved to be a more heated match than Mania and it really fit the street fight feel. Punk had family in the front row, only adding to the ongoing angle. They made sure to include some big spots (like Punk's elbow through a table) while not overdoing it. Some of the near falls near the end had the crowd losing their minds as the final stretch was great. Punk would eventually retain in one of the better matches from his excellent WWE Title run.
6. WWE Intercontinental Championship No Holds Barred Match: Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Chris Jericho – Extreme Rules 2009
Speaking of Chris Jericho, his crowning moment in Extreme Rules history came at the inaugural event. Entering this, Jericho was in the midst of his incredible run as the slow talking, serious heel. While he had dropped the World Title rather quickly, he was just embarking on a fantastic feud with Rey Mysterio. For a few months, these two made the Intercontinental Title relevant and important once again. This one was held under the No Holds Barred stipulation though it wasn't a case where they used a ton of weapons or anything like this. It just allowed them to showcase their hatred for one another in a physical form. Throughout the course of this match, Jericho continually tried to remove Mysterio's mask. Yea, most of us know what he looks like, but an unmasked Rey was unheard of in the WWE. There were a fair amount of reversals, especially near the end, but they saved the best for last. Jericho caught Rey's 619 and removed his mask in one fell swoop, leading to a win and a record ninth Intercontinental Title reign.
5. World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match: Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian – Extreme Rules 2011
In a very unfortunate turn of events, Edge was forced to retire after WrestleMania XXVII. Edge was the World Heavyweight Champion at the time so he was forced to forfeit the gold. Most likely, he was set to drop the title to Alberto Del Rio at Extreme Rules after retaining against him at WrestleMania. In his place, we got his best friend Christian battling Del Rio in a ladder match for the gold. Coming into this, everyone assumed Del Rio would win. The WWE had never pulled the trigger on Christian and seemed to have very big plans for the "Mexican Aristocrat". They still managed to go out and deliver a match filled with drama and close calls that had the crowd on the edge of their seats. This proved to be one of the most overlooked ladder matches in history as people don't talk about it much but it was arguably the best match of Del Rio's WWE run and one of the best World Title ladder matches I can recall. Probably only behind another on this list and Jericho/HBK off the top of my head. In a surprising move, Christian pulled down the title to fulfill his dream before celebrating with Edge in an emotional moment.
4. World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match: Edge (c) vs. Jeff Hardy – Extreme Rules 2009
The string of World Title Ladder matches continues, though ends at two. The rivalry between Edge and Jeff Hardy was certainly a long one. It started as members of tag teams in the very late 90's and progressed through the years before involving the World Title in 2009. Hardy won the WWE Title at the end of 2008 and quickly dropped it to Edge a month later. Some title switching fuckery happened and Edge ended up with the World Heavyweight Title leading into this match. The video package beforehand billed this as the final battle between them, set to "You're Going Down" by Sick Puppies. I felt like the match itself worked as a bit of a greatest hits for the guys since the ladder match is synonymous with both men. The fane ate everything up and you got the feeling that both guys really disliked each other. The finish was original and cool as Edge was pulled into the open ladder, leaving him stuck there while Jeff captured the gold. An added moment followed as CM Punk showed up to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase and crush Jeff's heart.
3. World Heavyweight Championship 2 Out of 3 Falls Match: Sheamus (c) vs. Daniel Bryan – Extreme Rules 2012
Ah, this infamous feud. Sheamus won the 2012 Royal Rumble and faced Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania. Fans expected a really good match but instead got Sheamus winning the title in 18 seconds in front of a crowd that was pretty pro-Bryan. That began the "yes movement" but Bryan would stay heel for a while. At Extreme Rules, we were treated to the Sheamus/Daniel Bryan match that we all wanted. Bryan, being at a significant size disadvantage, used his brains to his advantage as he gave away the first fall via disqualification. Normally you wouldn't think that was a good idea, but it allowed him to win the second fall via submission almost instantly. Their final fall, though shorter than the first one, proved to be the best part of the match, with both guys going back and forth and trading close calls. Sheamus was able to rally and scored a clean victory over Bryan with the Brogue Kick. This was easily in the top ten matches of Bryan's WWE career and, as far as I can recall, the best Sheamus match I've ever seen.
2. Extreme Rules Match: Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena – Extreme Rules 2012
In one of the coolest post-WrestleMania Raw moments in history, Brock Lesnar returned after nearly eight years away from the WWE. He went after John Cena instantly and the build for the match saw Brock bust Cena open, setting the stage for what would be an excellent match. Man, this showed the world that this post-UFC Brock was a completely different animal. Brock busted Cena open again, within minutes of the match. Like their SummerSlam 2014 bout, Brock beat the shit out of Cena though it was not as one-sided. Brock wipes Cena's blood on his chest and just treats the top guy of the company like he's completely worthless. There was something incredible about watching this and just seeing Cena take a pounding after years of dominating the entire WWE roster. Unfortunately, the one thing that keeps this match from the top of the list was the outcome. Cena did his big comeback and won after the AA on the steel steps. It was and still is baffling that they would make this decision. In my opinion, Brock should still be unbeaten since his return because he shouldn't have lost here and he damn sure didn't need to lose to Triple H at WrestleMania 29.
1. Extreme Rules Match: Evolution vs. The Shield – Extreme Rules 2014
It was pretty obvious that the Shield was the best thing in the WWE during 2013. As the calendar turned to 2014 though, they embarked on a new challenge. Instead of just dominating and outperforming the rest of the company, the Shield would now be tested to see if they'd work as babyfaces. They did and it was simply because they didn't change anything about themselves except for their targets. They kept everything that made them cool. Anyway, their rivalry with the Authority led to Triple H, Batista and Randy Orton reforming Evolution and leading to a clash of two dominant stables. Like the Shield's matches earlier in the year against the Wyatt Family, this was tremendous and more than lived up to the hype. Everyone came to perform at a high level, even Batista who was picking back up after struggling early in his return. Seth Rollins stole the show with an insane dive in the crowd that proved to be the most memorable moment of the match. The best thing about this though was that the Shield won, fair and square. They beat the best stable of the past fifteen years and did it again a month later in two standout matches before their eventual split.

Manchester United Open Talks To Sign Griezmann In Summer
By Vishal Singh | December 21, 2016 | 0
REUTERS/Sergio Perez
Manchester United have reportedly opened talks with Antoine Griezmann over a potential move to Old Trafford.
The Atletico Madrid forward has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United over the past year, but the Spanish side have so far refused to listen to any kind of offer.
But with Jose Mourinho a huge admirer of the French star, the Old Trafford hierarchy are desperate to secure this deal in the summer.
SUBSCRIBE to BlameFootball on Youtube
According to the latest report published by The Sun, United have asked a renowned agent to negotiate a deal for the 25-year-old, which would exceed around £60m.
With Griezmann's current contract at the Vicente Calderon running until 2021, the Red Devils face a stiff challenge of luring him away from the Spanish capital.
Paul Pogba has a vital role to play in the deal, by convincing his fellow compatriot to make a move to United. However, some reports claim Pogba has already spoken with his international teammate about his future.
5 Manchester United Players Most Likely To Leave Come January
Not only Manchester United, but reports have also linked Griezmann with Arsenal, but the highly-rated striker quashed those rumours for the time being, by insisting he is happy at Atletico.
However, with Mourinho consistently warning Old Trafford chiefs they must now move for Griezmann on a top priority basis, the Frenchman's loyalty to Atletico is certain to be tested.
The Portuguese manager thinks Griezmann's link up play would benefit summer signings Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pogba, and boost United's title challenge.
A transfer in January would be an impossible one, but United are hopeful of finalising the deal at the end of the season.

Q: Calculation of DC power drawn by circuit in Class A power amplifier

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
I'm watching Prof. D.C. Dube's lecture (timestamp included) on power amplifiers, and I'm confused about the calculation of DC power \$P_\text{dc}\$ in class A amplifiers, like in one shown in the above schematic. I do understand that we take the following approximations:
$$i_\text{C(min)}=0$$
$$i_\text{C(max)}=2I_\text{CQ}=i_\text{C(sat)}$$
$$v_\text{CE(min)}=0$$
$$v_\text{CE(max)}=2V_\text{CEQ}$$
and that the AC load line characteristics is like this:

DC Power \$P_\text{dc}\$ calculation
$$P_\text{dc} = V_\text{CC}I_\text{CQ}$$
Now, from what I understand \$P_\text{dc}\$ is defined as the average DC power drawn by circuit at the collector (power consumption by biasing resistors is ignored).
Confusion:
Why are we writing the DC power as \$V_\text{CC}I_\text{CQ}\$ rather than \$V_\text{CEQ}I_\text{CQ}\$? \$V_\text{CC}\$ is the maximum value of \$v_\text{CE}\$ when the AC signal is applied. But in the absence of the AC signal (we're calculating DC power after all, so AC signal swing can be neglected), the maximum DC voltage signal at collector should be \$V_\text{CEQ}\$, no? That is, basically I suspect that the DC power should have been
$$P_\text{dc} = V_\text{CEQ}I_\text{CQ} = \frac{1}{2}V_\text{CC}I_\text{CQ}.$$
Do we take \$V_\text{CC}\$ rather than \$V_\text{CEQ}\$ because we include the power consumed by resistors \$R_C\$ and \$R_E\$ in DC power drawn by circuit as well?
Could someone clarify?

A: The power for an amplifier is provided by the supply. The power a supply delivers is its own voltage (that's why we take \$V_\text{CC}\$) times the current drawn from it.
For a Class A power amplifier, with no input signal, the DC current drawn equals only the collector bias current, \$I_\text{CQ}\$, because the current drawn by biasing resistors is ignored.
So, the DC power that the supply delivers equals to:
$$ P_\text{dc} = V_\text{CC} \cdot I_\text{CQ} $$

This year alone, the Social Security Administration will deal with millions of applications for Social Security Disability benefits. Most of these cases will need a significant amount of proof and consideration of the extent of the claimant's disabilities and residual functioning capacity.
The Social Security Administration's definition of disability is narrow compared with that of Worker's Compensation and other disability insurance programs, and benefits are only available to those who are determined to be completely disabled.
Because most disabling conditions have varying degrees of severity, claimants often have to comply with several steps in the Social Security Disability appeals process; which may include providing more detailed medical information, going to an SSA appointed doctor or specialist for a second opinion, and any number of other requirements the SSA may impose. A typical claim takes a year and a half before it is accepted and some take much longer.
However, even the Social Security Administration recognizes that some conditions are completely disabling by definition, and that no one who is diagnosed with these conditions can reasonably be expected to continue working full time at any meaningful employment. Because these people, many of whom have terminal illnesses with short life expectancies, should not have to wade through the same system as others with more ambiguous disabling conditions, the Social Security Administration has developed a list of conditions called Compassionate Allowances. These listed conditions allow claimants to be approved automatically for Social Security Disability benefits and to start receiving benefits much sooner than others in the traditional claims and appeals process.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is one of the conditions listed for a Compassionate Allowance. What this means for you, should you have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is that you automatically qualify for benefits, and the claims process will be much shorter and more efficient for you.
Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung condition that causes deep tissue within the lungs to thicken and stiffen over a period of time. This makes the lung tissue harder and leads to scarring (called fibrosis). When the lung tissue hardens, the lungs are not able to move oxygen into the bloodstream at the level they are intended to, which in turn leads to shortness of breath and a lack of oxygen to vital systems (such as the brain, heart and other organs).
"Idiopathic" refers to the fact that doctors are not sure what is causing the condition, though it is widely accepted that factors like pollutants (second hand smoke, environmental pollutants, etc.), infections and medicinal side effects often contribute to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Typical symptoms of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis include weight loss, shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, fatigue, malaise, aches (especially at the joints) and clubbed fingers or toes. Lung infections and blood clots are also frequent symptoms, as are collapsed lungs.
The disease typically occurs in people over 50, with the chances of contraction much higher as a person ages. It is a life threatening disease, and typically, the life expectancy is three to five years from the diagnosis, with those who suffer from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis typically dying of hypertension, heart failure or respiratory failure.
There are a number of treatments to make you more comfortable and to slow down the onset of the disease, but there is no actual cure. Typical treatments include cough medicines, codeine, vitamin and nutritional therapy, oxygen, and transplants.
An accurate and substantiated diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis automatically qualifies you for whichever Social Security Disability benefits you are eligible for based on your work history and financial assets. As with any Social Security Disability claim, it is important to make sure you include complete medical documentation which confirms that you do indeed have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
This should include, at a minimum, a complete description of your diagnosis and your response (if any) to all treatments that are being or have been attempted. There are also a number of tests doctors typically run to determine that you have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, and you will want to be sure to include copies of all pertinent testing and the results. In many cases, the SSA will require you to be seen by one of their doctors in order to confirm the original diagnosis and to make sure that your condition falls within the parameters of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
When you have a condition like Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, which qualifies for a Compassionate Allowance, the real question is not so much whether you will or will not qualify for benefits. The only real question is whether everything will be filled out and handled correctly. If it is, you should receive your first benefits within a month.
The best way to make sure there are no errors or omissions is to have your file reviewed by a Social Security Disability lawyer. To receive a free evaluation of your claim, simply fill out the request form below.


Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition wherein there is a gradual decline of brain cells that produces a chemical called 'dopamine' responsible for controlling movement (not the strength). Parkinson's is a progressive disorder which means it only gets worse with time and age. Usually people over the age of 50 years are affected by Parkinson's but there are also some cases where younger people are affected.
Bradykinesia or slowness of movement etc.
Parkinson's disease (PD) has no cure till today and the exact cause of PD is also not known. However, the symptoms of Parkinson's may be controlled by using a combination of drugs, therapies and occasional surgeries. Drug treatment is the most significant method of treating the symptoms of PD. Drugs help in increasing the level of dopamine that reaches the brain and stimulate the parts of the brain where dopamine works. However, drugs may have different impact on different individuals. Some important drugs for PD are: Levodopa, Dopamine Agonists, Apomorphine, Glutamate Antagonist, Anticholinergics, COMT inhibitors, MAO-B inhibitors.
Therapies like occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, Physiotherapy etc. helps a lot in controlling the symptoms of PD.
Besides, researchers are also working on stem cells to provide treatment for PD.
Depression is a mental illness. In fact during contemporary times, depression is one of the most serious mental illness affecting individuals. Affects of depression are such that it completely changes one's behavior, personality and body. According to study, depression reduces an individuals quality of life.
There is a thin line of difference between Depression and Parkinson's disease (PD). Symptoms such as feeling tired, lacking energy, sleep problems etc which are found in Depression may also be found in PD. Hence, People suffering from PD may also experience Depression. There is more difficulty in treating people affected by both the diseases. An individual suffering from both depression and PD experience greater levels of anxiety and have more movement problems as compared to those who have just Depression or PD.
Causes of Depression may be attributed to family history or physical problems such as Problems with Thyroid, improper diet, lack of nutrients etc.
Anti-depressants prescribe by the Psychiatrists may be used to treat moderate or severe depression.
While Parkinson's disease itself is very stressful and upsetting so a lot of people with Parkinson's experience Depression. But it is important to remember that there is always medical help ready to be offered. Health care workers are very active in looking after Parkinson's patient and for depression there is also medical help available. Effort should be made from the patients to get in touch with the medical professionals for their treatment. Besides, regular sleep, good diet, some gentle exercise would help an individual from fighting against Depression.


A place where the water looks like candy and the sand between your toes makes you smile.
Our trip to St. Martin mainly consisted of laying by the pool or beach but we did do 2 really cool excursions during the week.
1. Captain Alan's Boat Charters. If you google "things to do in St. Martin" this boat charter comes up as the number one thing to do on Trip Advisor. It has 5 stars and me oh my, it totally is a 5 star experience! This was an excellent day trip! We left from the Marina at 9AM and returned by 5, we chose to do the private charter so we could go to a different island. We sailed over to St. Barth's, snorkeled in 2 different places, went to the famous Nikki Beach, and had lunch on the boat. I would recommend Captain Alan's to anyone visiting St. Martin!
2. Loterie Farm: This is an area in the middle of no where on the island. They have a few small cabanas you can stay in but it's mainly for day visitors to come and enjoy. You can eat in the tree tops, take a hike, zip line, lounge by the pool, and do their ropes course. We chose to do the hike to the highest point in St. Martin. Once we got to the top, the view was totally worth it! It took us 1.5 hours and it was a moderate-hard hike, I wouldn't recommend it if you're out of shape. Our friend Abby did it 5 months pregnant though (GO ABBY)! Theron, Andrew, and I then decided to do the "Fly Zone" which is zip lining. We also decided on the extreme zip lining and let me tell you, it was extreme in every sense of the word! It's definitely an adventure that I had fun doing but probably wouldn't do again. It requires physical exertion and it's not for the faint of heart! Andrew even ran into a pack of 6 wild monkeys. Let's just say if this zip lining tour were in the United States, it might not be legal. I don't want to scare you away though, if you're adventurous and not afraid of heights this is something you should totally do if you visit the island just to say you've done it once!
The beaches in St. Martin are absolutely beautiful! Most of them will take your breath away upon first look. Each beach has it's own unique thing that it brings to the table so I'm going to tell you where we went and what I liked best about each one.
1. Anse Marcel beach- this beach was on the French side and it was by far the most luxurious. You could rent umbrellas and chairs by the day and just sit and enjoy the blue water, scenery, music, and resort like tendencies. Anse Marcel beach is nestled between 2 all inclusive resorts so there are options for you to eat and drink here if you're into that. We opted to eat at a restaurant at one of the resorts. The restaurant is also called Anse Marcel and it had THE BEST French food! My mouth is watering just thinking about the food at this place. If you want to relax somewhere that they will really take care of you, Anse Marcel is your place. You do have to walk a little bit to get there but it's totally worth it!
2. Simpson Bay- it's on the Dutch side and more in the downtown/touristy area. It was by far the most gorgeous beach we visited. The water was so blue it looked like you could just eat it like candy! There is a small bar there made out of a school bus, that's where you should park and sit. All you have to do is order some type of drink: water, coke, cocktail of the day, you pick and you get free chairs and an umbrella (great deal)! There were several people there but it didn't feel crowded. I also got an aloe Vera massage from a Jamaican lady name Megan here. She's been working the beaches for 7 years and let me tell you, she's worth your time and money. If you go to St. Martin, you must go to Simpson Bay and keep an eye out for Megan!
3. Maho Bay- The only reason you'd go to this beach would be for the Sunset Beach Bar. It's a world famous bar that sits a few yards from the St. Martin airport. Famous photographers photograph this beach all of the time because of the planes. The planes fly so low over this beach that it looks like you could touch them. The beach is very crowded but worth the trip to experience the jet blast!
4. Mullet Bay- This was the best beach in St. Martin we found for snorkeling. We saw tons of really cool sea life here. I wouldn't choose this beach if I were just going for a relaxing day as it's not the prettiest (lots of rocks) but it's the best for snorkeling. We saw a barracuda, sucker fish, green moray eel, trumpet fish, and much more!
Side note- if you are into snorkeling, I'd highly recommend a charter boat. They can get you to better spots. I'll do a post later on our day on the boat.
Lastly, some beaches you don't want to go to include: Fryer's Bay (it smells like the inside of week old trash), Orient Beach (there are a lot of naked people there that shouldn't be naked), and Cupe Coy (it was sketchy and we got back in the car).
BVI Trip Day Six... and done.
Day 6 was our last full day on the boat. We were so sad for it to be the last day but we still had an absolute blast! This morning we got to wake up to "The Indians." The Indians are rocks that stick up out of the ocean; the people here say they look like an Indian headdress (side note: I don't see it). The snorkeling here was pretty cool but not the best we've seen. Apparently, the diving here is absolutely wonderful, for any of you interested in diving. I did see a puffer fish and an African Pompano fish which were both very neat and rare.
Andrew obliged me by kayaking. We've been visiting beaches since we've been together and I always beg him to kayak and he never has done it with me. This time, I asked and he said "sure, when in paradise!" It was amazing, we kayaked to a secluded beach. When we arrived on the beach we realized we weren't stepping on sand but small bits of coral. Luckily, we wore our Chacos so we were good to go. The entire beach was made out of broken shells and coral, it was a site to see!
On this last day we also did something that we hadn't done before, we jumped off the top of the catamaran into the ocean. Again, when in paradise!!!
When then went over to a harbor in Peter's Island, this was the island that we began our trip with. We did the last snorkel and first of our trip here. I am very sad and disappointed to say that I got out of the water way too soon on this last day! Andrew swam within 5 feet of a sea turtle. I'll post a picture below for proof. We'd seen sea turtles all week from the boat and Andrew saw one while snorkeling the first day. I would have loved to see this one but it didn't happen for me. Luckily, I had given Andrew the camera before I swam back to the boat.
In closing, this has been the best vacation either of us have ever been on. We spent the 6th night docked at the marina in Tortola since we had to get off the boat after breakfast the next morning. I would highly recommend this vacation! One thing is certain, WE WILL be going back!
Day 5 was so much fun (like all the other days)! We got to experience the caves on Norman's island. There are 3 water level caves that we were able to snorkel in. We saw a lot of interesting fish here and it was really neat being in the caves, it felt like a night dive. They say there is hidden Pirate Treasure here but unfortunately I didn't see any. The movie Into the Deep was also filmed here. This place is considered the best ship wreck dive in the BVI. Since Andrew nor I dive we didn't experience that part of it but the snorkeling was great so we were happy!
Day 4 was by far my favorite day! That morning we got to snorkel Sandy Spit. Sandy spit is a tiny island that doesn't have anything on it except a beautiful beach. They call it this because you can "spit" from one side to the other. It's a private deserted island and it's absolutely wonderful!!!! It has been the best snorkeling so far and the water is absolutely pristine. Andrew and I both saw about a 6 foot long nurse shark. I almost peed my pants or well, bathing suit when it cruised by!!! I guess it's good that I was in the ocean and no one would have noticed. Andrew also saw an octopus while snorkeling there. I've added the under water pictures below.
After Sandy Spit we then set sail for Little Jost Van Dyke. We did a 15 minute hike to a bubbly pool. We saw lots of wildlife a long the way and the natural pool was pretty neat! The tide wasn't high this day so it wasn't bubbling, it just kind of looked like a small pond (sorry I don't have a picture of this).
At the end of the day we ventured to Jost Van Dyke and the famous Soggy Dollar Bar. The bar got it's name because it's only accessible by boat and once you are there your money is soggy from swimming in. I met the owner of the bar while there, he was from Washington, D.C. and had lived on the island for 12 years. There are tons of people from the states down there that have built a life in paradise (jealous!).
We had dinner on the boat and then ventured over to Foxy's Taboo where we experienced some awful live karaoke. it was entertaining to say the least.
On Day 3 we woke up in Leverick's Bay and got off the boat. On the 3rd day of every Trade Winds cruise the crew changes all the sheets and towels for you so we had to stay on land for a couple of hours. This is the longest that we'd been on land since we boarded the boat. Both of us felt a little "land sick." I didn't realize this was a thing until I experienced it. You feel like you are still on the boat and rocking while you are standing on land, very strange! We shopped a little in Leverick's Bay and relaxed until we were able to board the boat again.
After lunch, we ended up in Marina Cay. It is absolutely stunning! We climbed to the top of the hill where they had a resort. The views were breathtaking. There is a famous red phone booth on the dock at Marina Cay. It automatically takes your picture every 15 seconds, you are able to view it on line later if you know the date and time you were there. After a little exploring we went snorkeling. It wasn't the best because the water was really rough but, we had fun anyways!
When we woke up the 2nd morning Andrew said, "it feels like you are stepping out of a time machine," and it really does! We woke up to The Baths on Virgin Gorda, it was one of the most beautiful places I have EVER SEEN! We had breakfast on the boat before we set out for our hike through The Baths.
Side Note: we were served 3 gourmet meals a day on the boat... it's amazing food!
We hiked through the Baths and then hiked up a hill to a resort. The view from the top looked like a fake backdrop, I could not believe my eyes. We saw several lizards and hermit crabs on our hike. Andrew says he saw a snake... normally, I wouldn't believe him but he squealed and ran like a little girl so yeah, he probably saw a snake. When we got back to the beach we decided to snorkel. The Bath's were in my top 3 places for snorkeling on the trip. The coral here was beautiful and the water was crystal clear.
After The Baths we sailed to The Bitter End Yacht Club. We got to see something really crazy there, a lady was feeding wild tarpon and these fish were HUGE! We explored Bitter End Yacht Club and then decided to call it a night. We went to bed super early every night on the boat because were so tired from the days activities.
We woke up to a beautiful site in the British Virgin Islands on the first morning (the rain was gone, praise God)! We were in Great Harbor Bay on Peter's Island for our first part of the trip. There, we ate breakfast and a few people snorkeled. Andrew was one of the folks that snorkeled and he saw lots of fish, a sea turtle, and a sting ray!
After a couple of hours in Great Harbor Bay we sailed to Cooper Island. Sailing was so much fun and very relaxing (I took a nap). We ended up in Manschioneel Bay. This bay is known to have some of the best snorkeling and man is that the case!! We saw many different kinds of fish; I will list the most interesting: spiked lobster, barracuda, stag horn coral, sea urchins, elk horn coral, parrot fish, squirrel fish, yellow head wrasse, honeycomb cow fish, and much more! Google the fish if you are interested in seeing what all of them look like (worth it).
We are getting so close to our trip! I'm all packed and ready to go however, I'm sure this week will be the longest week ever! Andrew made something for you guys that I think you will enjoy. It's a map of where we stop each day. If you are wondering exactly where we are next week, check the map. Day 1 starts on Sunday May 11th.
1. I feel like Day 6, Norman Island will be my favorite. We will have the opportunity to snorkel in three water-level caves, at the base of cliffs. The caves push deep into the cliffs, so that the darkness make the experience like a night dive. Apparently, there is Pirates' treasure stowed in these caves so I'm going to keep my eyes peeled! You can bet your bottom dollar if I find Pirate's treasure I may never come back.
2. Day 2, The Bath's. I don't know why, but I'm excited about the dinghy ride we will have to take from our boat to The Baths. I've never been on a dingy before so I feel like that will be exciting. The Baths are a collection of giant boulders which form pools and grottos. The huge boulders and rocks form a maze that lead to Devil's Bay Beach. Years of natural erosion have created tunnels and caves where we can explore.
3. Day 3, Marina Cay. There are many brightly colored villas and tropical flowers here. It's said to be the most spectacular cay in the region. We will be able to stroll around the Island and enjoy all of the local stores. This evening, dinner is going to be ashore- at the world famous, Pusser's Landing.
I will report back after the trip is said and done on my true top 3 favorites, I'll be interested to see if they match up... for now, here are pictures of the 3 things I listed.
Andrew and I will be traveling to the British Virgin Islands for our one year anniversary trip! We are beyond excited! We will be flying into St. Thomas and then catching a ferry to the BVI where we will then sail off on a crewed yacht charter (or catamaran but I like yacht better) for 7 days. The BVI is considered the yachting capital of the Caribbean. We will be 18 degrees north of the equator, if that means anything to you... and have average temperatures of 79-88 degrees so, basically perfect.
If you want to see our itinerary for the week go here: http://www.trade-winds.com/british-virgin-islands-sailing-vacation.php and no, I'm not TRYING to make you jealous... just stating the facts!
Here is a video of what life will be like on board the boat. We will have our own room with a bed, 3 drawers, and a bathroom. It will be very small with only one port hole but I doubt we will be spending much time "down under." This video was posted on YOUTUBE by a lady that took the cruise last year. It gives you a really good idea about how big the boat is and what it will be like. I've already been prescribed the ear nausea patches. I get car sick and I've never been on a cruise before so I'm not sure how my body will handle this. Luckily, I hear the ear patches work really well.... fingers crossed!
I will report back after our trip and post my very own boat video or pictures.


"The Audi A6 is luxury notchback saloon built by the very renowned German make Audi. To date, there's been a succession of four different generations of Audi A6s. The A6 currently on the market was officially presented to the general public in late 2010. It's no coincidence that more than 7 million car drivers have been choosing the Audi 100 and Audi A6 since 1968, making this saloon the highest-selling in its segment for many years. Light build, aerodynamic, efficient engines, quattro transmission, perfected multimedia systems : so many assets that have influenced the different generations and positioned Audi as a leader in innovation and build quality. The new Audi A6 is firmly rooted in that tradition and continues that quest for perfection by giving particular care to every detail."


You may ask why anyone would want to write yet another book about scientific writing. There are many books on the subject, some more useful than others, and the abundance of literature on this topic may confuse rather than guide.
I felt that this book was necessary for several reasons. During the past years, I have learnt much about the needs of scientific communicators, both through my personal experience as a pharmacologist and, later, through teaching scientific writing at universities, pharmaceutical companies, and other institutions. In today's busy world, guidance on scientific writing must be focused and to the point. Our constraints no longer permit the time-consuming search for the "correct" word or formulation. Moreover, the speed by which we produce a manuscript has become increasingly important, be it in academia or the pharmaceutical industry. Scientists often find it difficult to accept that their professional success essentially depends on their skill and efficiency to communicate their research results. Without any doubt, the rapid exchange of pertinent information is critical to scientific advancement and should therefore be regarded with due respect.
A second, perhaps even more important reason for writing this book is my personal concern for everyone challenged to write high-quality texts in a language that is not his or her native tongue. As a Swiss-Anglo hybrid (as I like to call myself), I sympathize with their special circumstances and wish to make a contribution to overcoming linguistic dilemmas.
In short, this book deals with clear, unambiguous language within and across the biological and medical sciences. Unlike textbooks on English grammar that analyze and prescribe the use of the language in its various forms, this book tells you how to apply your existing language skills to scientific communication. If you do not only want to write but want to write well, this book is for you.

Stranger Things Season Three Is a Sporadically Solid Summer Spectacle
By Allison Keene | June 30, 2019 | 10:00am
Photo Courtesy of Netflix TV Reviews Stranger Things
The only thing that isn't embargoed about Stranger Things Season Three is that there is an embargo list, and it is very long and very specific. But here's what can be said about the latest installment of Netflix's horror series: it continues to be an unabashed celebration of the 1980s, from its own filmic references regarding style and story to the literal references of the the era. Season Three kicks off in the summer of 1985, which is not where we normally expect to find the show (formerly set in the winter and fall), but it only augments the joyful nature of Stranger Things' non-monster moments. And that, really, is where the series shines. The creep factor is important, and an almost funny juxtaposition to the otherwise happy-go-lucky look at suburban life. But it's the friendships and coming-of-age stories, the relationships and family bonding, that really make Stranger Things great.
Season Three doesn't lean into that as much as it should have (all eight episodes were made available for review), but its early hours are a loving tribute to the nostalgia that Gen Xers and older Millennials will have for summers spent hanging out in the mall and going to the neighborhood pool, all blessedly not interrupted by social media or smart phones (although some cellphone prototypes do start to make an appearance). The colors are bright and vibrant, and the series looks and feels (as it always has) like a familiar pastiche of other TV series and films. That's not necessarily a criticism, though—it's the show's M.O. But things start to get dark, fast, and that's when the narrative starts to get a little more uncertain.
The new season follows a pattern familiar to its past: there is a terrestrial threat chasing an extraterrestrial threat, and the kids of Hawkins (as well as their teen siblings and a few choice adults, like David Harbour's Jim Hopper and Winona Ryder's Joyce Byers) all get pulled into it. The sprawling cast is then split up into smaller groups that each end up accidentally uncovering disparate clues that are part of a sinister whole. Given what they've all been through, you'd think at this point they would stop and compare notes much sooner than they do. Instead, we wait as each pod of characters face their own death-defying investigations, ultimately all coming together to fight the Big Bad thanks to their shared knowledge.
How this happens, and even the look and feel of that foe, is again familiar. The stakes are continuously raised, which makes the small-town story feel increasingly improbable (even after you've accepted the supernatural), and yet the eight episode season somehow feels too long. There's lots of action and plenty of fighting, but it starts so early that (especially for those who binge the series) there's a definite fatigue as the final act goes on and on. But while the overall scope is larger than in the past, the setting is not; the Starcourt Mall, featured so heavily in the marketing for the season, is a glorious spectacle that is the nexus of everything. There couldn't be a more fitting location for an '80s tribute, and a shopping montage that stops off at the Gap, JC Penney, and other glittering storefronts in the mall populated with teased hair and popped collars is incredibly fun.
Stranger Things is, again, at its best when its focusing on those touchstones alongside its teen drama. Almost everyone in the group is now in a relationship, which causes tension between Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Hopper when it comes to her dating Mike (Finn Wolfhard). In a poignant subplot, Will (Noah Schnapp) also feels particularly left out now that Mike is spending so much time with El, and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) is busy hanging out with Max (Sadie Sink). Will and Hopper both, in their own ways, just want things to go back to the way they were before everything got so complicated, which is a really worthy thread for the show to follow. Instead, Stranger Things shies away from investigating the PTSD these kids rightfully have, or how their absolutely bonkers experiences have affected them. It's a stretch to say that the show's horror and gore work as a metaphor for the uncertainty and hurt of being a teen and growing up (away from friends, or breaking up, or having an unrequited crush), but it's a missed opportunity for it not to. Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) is upset when he comes back from camp and feels like his friends didn't miss him, but throughout the season his separation from them is mostly caused by the foe they are all trying to defeat. It's a rare instance where the supernatural threat is a stand-in for personal obstacles, but it's also one reason that storyline is so effective.
Thankfully, Dustin is at least sequestered with Steve (Joe Keery)—one of the show's truest friendships, where Keery is again a standout—but in the midst of all of this insanity, we don't get to spend much time learning anything about the other characters and their own relationships outside of the monster fighting. And that's a shame, because the characters (new and old) are still so much fun when they're allowed to interact with one another in normal settings. Keeping the cast so removed from each other throughout the season also makes it all the more obvious which characters have the more compelling stories, and which actors are more able to hold their own. Not changing up those dynamics throughout the season also hurts its overall success, especially when the show has done such a good job of using different pairings in the past to give us insights into these characters, or even to just have some fun. It has also become clear that Stranger Things doesn't know what to do with Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), as it introduces great new characters like Robin (Maya Hawke) and gives more screentime to Erica (Priah Ferguson) and others.
Season Three is clearly made for the date Netflix is releasing it on (July 4th), which coincides with the season's action in a number of ways. It harnesses a Big Summer Mood, a healthy heap of nostalgia and has plenty of fun references. But its story is also convoluted and far too scattered. The overall pattern of what happens and how is overly familiar, and the stinger for the season doesn't inspire much confidence for a (sure-to-be) fourth season to refresh the formula at all. For better or worse, Stranger Things' new season is as tasty, messy, and fleeting as an ice cream cone on a hot summer's day. Ahoy!
Stranger Things Season Three premieres Thursday, July 4th on Netflix.

Very often, the ratings we give to a club, restaurant or an event is decided by the type of music that's played there. Music decides the mood of a place and since today's generation loves partying and is obsessed with music- both contemporary and old, different places try their best to have disk jockeys who will be able to play music that appeals to the masses. India has some great DJs in store but some of them have become very popular and made a name for themselves among the Indian youth. Know about them here!

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen Review
Dawn June 13, 2020
Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is a visual novel (VN)-strategy RPG hybrid developed Leaf and brought to the Western World by Nippon Ichi Software. It follows the story of an amnesiac protagonist who is taken in by a simple farming village and given the name "Hakuowlo." Along the course of this grand adventure, Hakuowlo will meet a cast of unique and intriguing characters, start a war, find love, and change the very course of history. Meandering, interconnected storylines and tactical battles await!
The majority of Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is spent reading. The narrative is split between character dialogue and first-person exposition told from Hakuowlo's point of view. All dialogue is voice-acted in Japanese, which helps the immersion, with no other language options available. Characters are drawn in the anime art style and, while some of them change expression or stance to better suit what's being done or said, the large majority does not. This bothered me as it was difficult to empathize when a character was smiling blankly just as they always are. Action scenes are delivered via sound effects, some of which weren't always the most convincing or were reused ad nauseum, and screen shake with only a few particle effects like sword strikes. For the most part, the story was well translated, though there were some instances where I felt like the literal translation wasn't working the best or there was a sudden escalation in tone that seemed out of place. For example, at one point Hakuowlo asks "Who the fuck is that?" during an otherwise pleasant conversation when there was no need for that kind of language. Because the majority of information is delivered via character dialogue, the script sometimes suffered from unrealistic and otherwise unnatural statements for the sake of exposition. Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen's writing tends to be on the silly side where, outside of strategic meetings or other story progressing events, the characters are quibbling or finding ways to get themselves into trouble—inadvertently or otherwise. You can save and load your game at any point during dialogue, and there are also helpful functions like auto read and skip read text.
The world of Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is cut into locations and your current location acts as a base of operations which is then divided into areas you can visit by selecting them. As such, there's no actual character movement outside of combat. In order to progress the story, you must view events, which are dialogue exchanges between Hakuowlo and other characters that are dependent on the area you're visiting. Because you're able to choose what area you're going to visit, it isn't always possible to read every event before progressing the story. From what I could tell from manipulating my saved files events carry over to the next time you are able to view them, so nothing is missable.
After wading through what is sometimes hours of exposition, you're able to take part in battle. As a whole, Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen's pacing is a slow burn and combat is of no exception. Combat takes place with 3D sprites on a grid and turns are divided into enemy and ally phases. Units have an elemental affinity (the standard fire is weak to water, earth is weak to wind, and so on and so forth) which dictates how much damage they deal to their intended target. Facing also matters; attacking from the side or back versus the front significantly increases damage. At lower levels, your characters are only able to strike once which makes for a slow and oftentimes drawn-out affair. As they gain experience and you expand your roster, however, that steadily changes. Combat really hit its stride around the tenth hour, when I could use Final Strikes and Chain Attacks. Skills in Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen are learned automatically as units level up. Many are glorified basic attacks that are activated at random as part of a Chain Attack, which allows you to strike multiple times during your turn, or are otherwise passive. The exception to that would be Ereruu's healing arts, which can be used from a separate menu. I wasn't the largest fan of this, as I like having a separate skill menu. Chain Attacks require you to press X as a ring shrinks. Failure to hit it at all results in the early termination of your chain while hitting x at the ring's smallest point rewards you with 2 Zeal for every successful instance. Zeal is used to launch additional hits, including Final Strikes which are flashy and deal massive damage. When pulled off correctly, these combos were satisfying and looked great, breaking up the otherwise slow pace of combat.
Also in your attack arsenal are Co-op Chains, which can be activated if the right characters are positioned just so. It will take some experimentation to figure out who can attack with whom, but if you see an x that looks like it's been painted with a brushstroke on the ground when trying to move a unit, it's worth going to stand on it. Only the initiator of a Co-op Chain gets EXP. Finally, there's the option to rewind turns. This can be done as many times you like following the end of a turn, both enemy and ally, but there's a limit to how many turns you can go back. This is a useful function for when you made just a little mistake and you know exactly where you went wrong. Encounters can be won in a variety of ways, including making it to a target area or holding out for a number of turns, but the majority require you to destroy a target—whether object or foe.
Training and Free Battles are available from your base menu a little later on for those looking to further hone their tactical prowess—or even just to take a break from reading. Training features all-new missions while Free Battles allow you to replay story battles. Training must be done multiple times to unlock all possible rewards. Character management boils down to equipment and spending Battle Points (BP). There are no shops to speak of in Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen, meaning all items and equipment you amass comes from winning battles. Characters will level up as they gain experience during and after battle, but increasing their stats falls to you. After combat, you're awarded a set number of BP to all combatants. There are three stats, attack/healing, defense, and special defense, and you can spend BP to increase them. Each character is predisposed to a particular stat, meaning you'll spend less BP by focusing on what they're good at, but you're free to spend BP as you see fit.
Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen has a good selection of background scenes, the character designs are varied, and there's a gentle, Oriental-inspired BGM throughout—sometimes even when it isn't suitable i.e action scenes. There isn't much in terms of replay value, so to speak, but with additional combat modes on top of the already sprawling main story, there will be plenty to keep you occupied for hours to come. It's a nitpick, but I found the volume to be very low. I don't know if this is an issue with my TV, but going from the game to the XMB is a stark change in decibels. Even after turning the BGM volume all the way down and keeping the voice volume at max, I still had some difficulty hearing certain characters. Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen also offers a cross-save function, which is a neat option to have, but no cross-buy feature. This means you'll have to drop a whopping total of $100 to play the game at home and on the go.
If you're the patient sort, Utawarerumono Prelude to the Fallen is a solid visual novel with some strategic, grid-based combat and not the other way around. The writing, though sometimes predictable cliche, is good and the character development makes it so that you want to keep reading the smattering of event exchanges that do nothing to move the plodding story along. That being said, if you're not the type who likes reading, the Utawarerumono series as a whole will be one you'll want to avoid. Visual novel fans and strategy newbies and veterans alike will find this a meaty title to sink their teeth into.

Q: Couple of Questions about Firebase security I started learning about Firebase for an android, but still can't get my head around some stuff, so I have couple of questions that I would love your help to answer.
1 - Can a user (or a hacker) know my firebase link from the app?
2 - if they did, will they be able to change my stored data without knowing my google email address associated with the database?
Thanks

A: Unless properly secured, anyone can read or write data to your Firebase database.
To secure your Firebase database you need to write Security Rules.
Firebase Security Rules live on a Firebase server and validate whether someone can access your data.

HOUSTON -- You don't know his name. You may only vaguely recall his face.
Hint: He was the Starbucks guy in Miss Congeniality, the good ol' boy in the pickup in Home Fries, the Anglo father in Lone Star and Cobalt in five episodes of the television series Walker, Texas Ranger.
Marco Perella may be a "no-name actor," but he remains part of a vanishing breed: He has survived in his chosen profession while staying in his home state, Texas.
"To make a living in this state, you gotta be a long-haul trucker," constantly shuttling between acting jobs in Houston, Austin and Dallas, he writes in a new book, Adventures of a No Name Actor (Bloomsbury, $24.95).
"It's very difficult, I have to tell you," the 52-year-old actor said during a recent stop in Houston. "But somehow I've been able to do this for 20 years."
Along the way he has taught dance steps to Kevin Costner and Helena Bonham Carter at separate times, received flowers from Drew Barrymore, survived a wild audition for director Oliver Stone and turned down an invitation to chase women with Charlie Sheen.
Through the years, Perella has regularly sent friends letters detailing funny stories about his trials and tribulations in the entertainment business. A friend, columnist Molly Ivins, forwarded one of the letters to her agent, who called Perella with the magic words: "Have you ever thought of writing a book?"
In the book, Perella observes that Leslie Anne Warren cried on his shoulder about being lonely, Ned Beatty once made it clear that he didn't want others to talk during meals, and Brian Keith was upset that movie roles meant for him went to Brian Dennehy.
Otherwise, the book does not dish much dirt. It avoids the skinny on A-list stars such as Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid, Sandra Bullock and Renee Zellweger.
"There's a peculiar thing about this society. We're fascinated by celebrities to a morbid degree," Perella said. "People are so ridiculous around celebrities it's hard for them to be human."
Perella, a native of Houston, didn't seriously pursue an acting career until he was in his 30s.
He has resisted the urge to move to Los Angeles because he likes his Texas life. He and his wife, actress Diane Perella, live in Georgetown, Texas, with their two children and teach acting classes in Austin.
"My ambition was not that strong," he admitted. "I didn't need to be a big star and be famous. All I wanted to do was make a living doing what I like."

Q: Git repo not found when using git command, but able to open it in a web browser I am new to apache servers, but I was able to get one setup and using a git backend on Windows Server 2012. However, I decided to switch to Ubuntu Server instead, because I thought it would be easier to manage the server with that. On the Windows apache server I had a /git/ directory that contained a test repo and I was able to clone, pull, push, etc. to it. Whenever I opened it in a browser I had it just forward to an error 404, because otherwise it would be an error 403, since its a valid file on the server, which I feel is a security vulnerability. It did not let me log in through a browser strangely enough, unlike my Ubuntu setup. I had no problem doing git clone http://example.com/git/Test.git.
Now that I have moved over to Ubuntu Server. I started using a git subdomain instead of a /git/ dir. I also started using .htaccess files instead of a hardcoded Directory entry for every repo in the apache2.conf. I think that will allow for adding new repositories during runtime through a web page. I thought I had gotten everything working perfectly. When testing the accessibility of my test git repo, it asked for a username and password in the browser, unlike before. The groups and users all logged in fine and correctly handle whether I should get access to the file.
I think I am done with all that, but when I actually go to test cloning the test repo, it asks my username and password, as it should. Then instead of cloning the repo it gives me a fatal: repository 'http://git.example.com/Test.git/' not found. I did check to see if I can locally clone the repo on the server itself, it did not work using the URL, but using the file path worked fine.
I have absolutely no clue why I can access the repo in a browser but not with a git command. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
FYI: obviously I the website I have is not example.com, I am using that to hide my real website URL. The website's DNS settings are all working. You can connect to the regular domain and git subdomain index.html's fine.

A: I believe I had my DNS settings misconfigured for the subdomain.
This link helped: https://youtu.be/fWD_ciSWklQ
Also I completely started an apache server from scratch to see if that would help. I ran into a weird problem with the starting a site using a2ensite. It would enable the site but I forgot to use sudo so it complained and did not make the marker file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/. I reran the command w/ sudo but it did not create the marker file bc it still thought it was enabled but it really wasent w/o the marker. I did not realize this and the site was forwarding to the main website instead of the domain. You have to disable the website and re-enable it if it says a marker file was not created, you CANNOT just run enable again w/ sudo.
Hope this helps someone.
