Different Types of Palm Plants
By: Callie Barber

Palm plants give a tropical, jungle-like feel to the garden. Their fan-shaped leaves grow in a wide range of sizes and shapes to fit into small or large areas of the landscape. Typically palm plants have cup-shaped flowers that grow in varying colors from white and pink to brown and purple. They are ideal plants to grow within a courtyard for a focal point to the landscape or within a container as a specimen plant.
Chinese Windmill Palm
Chinese windmill palm (Trachycarpus fortunei), also called the Chausan palm, is an evergreen palm variety that is native to the mountains of subtropical Asia. It grows over 30 feet tall and 6- to 10-feet wide, creating a commanding landscape presence. Chinese windmill palm has a single stem that is made up of 4-foot wide fans that are sword-like and bright green. Beginning in summer, they produce large plumes of yellow flowers that light up the garden with color. As an evergreen, the Chinese windmill palm retains its foliage color year-round for a source of warmth to a winter garden. It grows best in full sun to light shade and well-drained soil that is nutrient-rich. Chinese windmill palms tolerate clay soil but must be protected from strong winds.According to Fine Gardening Magazine online, "Chinese windmill palms may be shoot-hardy to Zone 6 if protected with 10 inches of mulch." Plant Chinese windmill palms in USDA hardiness zones 8 to 11.

Needle Palm
Needle palm (Rhapidiophyllum hystrix) is an evergreen shrub with coarse texture and a spreading, clumping form. The trunkless shrub grows 6 feet tall and has glossy deep green leaves that reach up to 4 feet long. Fan-shaped, each leaf has a dull silver to white on the underneath side. Each leaflet on the needle palm grows 1 to 2 inches long with a sharp and deeply indented form. The compact purple to yellow flowers on needle palms grow 6 to 12 inches long to light up the shrub with color. They grow best in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil that is nutrient-laden. Drought-tolerant, needle palm is also the most cold-hardy palm variety that grows. Plant in USDA zones 7b to 10.

Cabbage Palm
Cabbage Palm (Sabal palmetto) is an evergreen tree with a moderate growth rate and medium to course texture. Growing 20 to 60 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide, cabbage palm trees have a columnar shape. The fan-shaped leaves of cabbage palm grow 5 feet long on stems that range from 2 to 7 feet long. Beginning in June, the fragrant, white 2-inch wide clusters of flowers emerge. Cabbage palm trees require full sun to partial shade and tolerate a range of soil varieties including, wet or dry soils. Plant in USDA zones 8 to 10.

We're all dealt with those problem colleagues. Those people that make us dread going to work every day. One coworker that is out to get you can make a huge difference in your office experience. Mean coworkers come in many forms — they can be passive aggressive, illogical, or rude. Whatever the case, they're sure to give off clear signs that they don't like you. If you have to deal with these people, don't get discouraged! Figure out the root of the problem, and try to resolve it. Are they intimidated by you? Are you doing something to set them off? It's best to talk to them directly and address the issue.
To figure out if a coworker doesn't like you (and help you laugh off those problem colleagues), GetVoIP created this infographic on signs that a coworker doesn't like you. The signs range from short emails to negative body language to stealing your ideas. Do any look familiar?

Therapy Dogs in Children's Hospitals – The Best Medicine!
When I was hospitalized as a child to have my tonsils and adenoids removed, I would never have expected to see a dog on my surgical ward – though I would have loved to! Now, patients and their families at many hospitals, including the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), can have their days brightened and their recoveries improved by visits from Ottawa Therapy Dogs.
Goals in animal-assisted therapy (AAT) are different depending on each child's needs and can include both physical and emotional goals. For example, a child who had not left his room since his surgery heard that a dog was visiting and asked to be taken to the 'playroom' for a cuddle. A child whose right arm was resistant to physiotherapy stretched out her fingers to pet the dog on the sofa beside her. The joy on these patients' faces is mirrored by their parents, who see the improvement, and by staff, for whom the dogs provide a welcome bit of stress relief.
Isaac's quiet, gentle temperament played an important role in qualifying as a team for Ottawa Therapy Dogs with handler, Julie Jolicoeur.
With eight teams that visit CHEO, Ottawa Therapy Dogs' reach has grown over the years to include both on-site and off-site programs. One of these teams is Isaac, a four-year-old yellow lab, and his self-labelled "Uber driver", Julie Jolicoeur.
Ottawa Therapy Dogs has a stringent evaluation process, but Isaac easily qualified as a therapy dog and also passed the second level of testing, which is required before therapy dog teams can work with children. He thrives at CHEO – in fact, Julie says he has found a half-gear higher!
Dr. Gary Richter, a veterinary heath expert and author of The Ultimate Pet Health Guide, says: "Just like people, some dogs really like having purpose in their day. While they may not think about it in quite the same terms as us, dogs like to have a job to do." Julie says it's "pure magic" to watch Isaac with children at CHEO – it's as if he is finally doing what he was always meant to do.
In the Eating Disorders Program, Isaac meets with patients either individually or in a group. The patients are 12 years old and older, mostly girls, and are in the program for six to 12 weeks. Isaac is their rock star – they line up down the hallway to see him. A calmness comes over them when they enter the room and they become kids again, often lying all around Isaac on the floor. They may talk — or not — during their time with him. They seem to release their tension, unwind, maybe even nap. And Isaac has the ability to sense what each youth needs from him and adapts to each one of them.
Julie recalls a special encounter with a 14-year-old boy in the Traumatic Care Injury unit. He was just out of chemotherapy and feeling very weak. Isaac lay down on the boy's bed and gently laid his head on his chest. One tear slowly rolled down the boy's cheek, expressing what he couldn't say in words. That visit went on longer than usual as Isaac brought his magic to comfort a child who really needed him.
In another memorable visit, a girl hadn't left her room in months until she came to see Isaac. A visit with him got her motivated to shower and come to the playroom, and later she even went to the coffee shop. In another case, a five-year-old abuse survivor came out of his shell to relate to Isaac and even made artwork for the dog between visits. They both seemed to know how special their time together was – as the boy approached, Isaac's tail started to wag and the boy's eyes lit up. They greeted each other with a hug and both sighed when it was time to leave.
Julie has also taken Isaac to visit children at an autism therapy camp where very busy four- and five-year-olds took turns leading Isaac around the unit on a double leash, walking between Isaac and Julie. This activity forced them to slow down, focus and be gentle as they directed Isaac around the block.
And there is no doubt that patients, their families and the staff at CHEO agree!


What do Eagle Owls eat?
It mainly feeds on small mammals, but can kill prey up to the size of foxes and young deer (up to 10 kg/22 lb), if taken by surprise. Larger prey (over 3 kg/7 lb) is consumed on the ground which leaves the bird vulnerable (for example to foxes).
The Eagle Owl is a large and powerful bird, smaller than the Golden Eagle but larger than the Snowy Owl. It is sometimes titled the world's largest owl, but so is the Blakiston's Fish Owl, which is slightly bigger on average. The Eagle Owl has a wingspan of up to 138–200 cm (55–79 in) and measures 58–73 cm (23–29 in) long. Females weigh 1.75-4.2 kg (3.9-9.4 lbs) and males weigh 1.5-3.2 kg (3.3-7 lbs).

Палеоєвропейські мови (реліктові неіндоєвропейські мови Європи) — умовна назва сукупності в основному давніх мов Європи, що не відносяться до сучасних мовних сімей цього регіону (а саме індоєвропейської, семітської, уральської та алтайської). Південна частина цих мов також називається середземноморськими мовами.

Включають в основному древні мертві мови, за винятком єдиної живої мови — баскської, якою говорить до 1 млн осіб на території Іспанії і Франції. Решта палеоєвропейських мови відомі з написів, субстратних слів, глосів, по ономастиці і топоніміці.

Термін
Термін «палеоєвропейські мови» є відносно новим і увійшов в широкий обіг в XXI ст. Він створений як аналог раніше існуючого терміну «палеоазійські мови» як сукупність некласифікованих мов, що об'єднуються за територіальною ознакою.

У XIX—XX ст. дослідники воліли використовувати термін «Доіндоєвропейський субстрат», який нерідко піддавався критиці прихильниками гіпотез про автохтонності або ранньому поширенні індоєвропейських мов у Європі. З іншого боку, термін «палеоєвропейські мови» не завжди прийнятний для тих, хто не заперечує неіндоєвропейський характер даних мов, але припускає відносно пізні міграції їх носіїв, що можливо, відбувалися паралельно міграціям носіїв індоєвропейських мов. Прихильники гіпотези «середземноморських мов» локалізують палеоєвропейські мови лише в регіоні Середземного моря і заперечують їх поширення в північніших регіонах Європи.

Мови по території розповсюдження

Піренейський півострів

 Тартессійська мова (на півдні півострова)
 Турдетанська мова — див. також турдетанське письмо
 Іберійська мова
 Аквітанська мова (також була поширена на території сучасної Франції)
 Баскська мова

Італія

 Етруська мова
 Ретська мова
 Північнопіценська мова

  Можливо є індоіранськими мовами .
 Таврська мова — мова таврів південного Криму
 Синдо-меотська мова — мова синдів і меотів західної Кубані

Генетичні об'єднання і зовнішня мовна спорідненість

Тірренська сім'я
Серед середземноморських мов деякі дослідники виділяють гіпотетичну Тірренську сім'ю споріднених мов, в яку включають:
 Етруська мова
 Ретська мова
 Мова пеласгів (єдиний пам'ятник: Лемноська стела)
 Кипро-мінойська мова
 Камунська мова (альтернативна гіпотеза: споріднена лігурійській)

Баскська і Аквітанська мова
За деякими ознаками в пару близькоспоріднених мов також можна об'єднати баскську і Аквітанську мови, території яких, до того ж, є географічними сусідами.

Ось лише деякі зіставлення аквітанських імен з баскськими коріннями::

Мови, споріднені Іберійській
Гіпотеза басько-іберської спорідненості не є загальновизнаною.

У рамках гіпотези про лігурський субстрат (Анрі д'Арбуа де Жубенвіль, Юліус Покорний, Пауль Кречмер тощо) лігури і ібери розглядаються як споріднені народи, висхідні до культурі кардіальної кераміки. Народи, що походять від даної культури, проживали на південному середземноморському узбережжі Європи і навіть заселили терен сьогоденної Франції в період задовго до проникнення в Європу кельтів.

До іберійських мов деякі дослідники відносять мову (або одну з мов) піктів. Про схожість іберійської і піктської говорив і Гай Юлій Цезар, що зіткнувся з піктами після вторгнення на Британські острови.

Гіпотези спорідненості
Існує й розширене розуміння середземноморських мов, що включає кавказькі мови і мови Передньої Азії, що не відносяться до будь-яких мовних сімей. Але припущення про генетичні зв'язки у вузькому або широкому сенсі (зокрема, про басксько-кавказькі зв'язки) не підтвердилися, так що імовірно родинні зв'язки між баскською і грузинською мовою так і не були встановлені. У той же час баскська мова виявляє спорідненість з північнокавказькими мовами в рамках сино-кавказької макросім'ї мов.

Одна з теорій середземноморського субстрату (швейцарський учений Хубшмід) спирається на дослідження топонімічних суфіксів і на доіндоєвропейську лексику в романських мовах, особливо в іспанській (де є і фонетичний середземноморський субстрат) і італійській мовах.

Women's charities call off merger talks
19 May 2021 by Andy Ricketts
The Fawcett Society and the Young Women's Trust have called off merger talks.
Thewomen's charities announced in November they were in exploratory talks about a possible merger.
But in a statement today, the charities said the talks had not shown that a merger would significantly improve the impact the organisations would have, so they had decided to remain "as friends and partners".
The joint statement from Jo-ann Robertson and Fiona Mactaggart, chair of the Young Women's Trust and The Fawcett Society respectively, said the merger talks had been "positive, productive and useful".
But they said: "After considerable discussion, we identified many advantages to merging, but ultimately did not find enough evidence that a merger would significantly enhance the impact the respective charities have and we will instead continue to work closely together as friends and partners.
"In the current environment there remains significant work to be done to address gender inequality.
"Both organisations will ensure their focus is on making the greatest impact possible through working closely with each other and other partners to create true equality for all women and girls."
The Fawcett Society is a membership charity that campaigns for gender equality and women's rights. It employs 12 staff.
The Young Women's Trust was the YWCA and then spent less than three years as Platform 51 before adopting its current name in 2013. It has 27 employees.
Sam Smethers, chief executive of The Fawcett Society, announced last July she would be stepping down to rebalance her working and family life, while Sophie Walker, who had led the Young Women's Trust since last year, left the charity last year to take up a role she "could not refuse".

Old Dead Guys Notes #3 – Athanasius
Posted on June 10, 2020 by goodnewsiowacity2
Old Dead Guys Note #3—Athanasius
John Wiers, PhD 2020
R. Olson– "It may not be much of an exaggeration to say that all Christians have Athanasius to thank that the theology of the Jehovah's Witnesses is not orthodoxy of most of Christendom."
He was the great champion of the deity of Christ during a very tumultuous period of early church history.
He was a native of Egypt and was born in a little village along the Nile; Coptic was his native tongue.
His opponents called him the "dark little dwarf."
His name means "immortal"
Most of the opponents in theological debate likely saw him as a quarrelsome and inflexible single-minded controversialist. Many of the bishops, who had signed the original Nicene Creed, didn't always like Athanasius calling some of their friends heretics.
7. Not all modern church historian like him either. One called him a "little gangster.'
If some theologians are known for their panoramic visions, Athanasius was noted for his dogged determinism to defend one key doctrine.
He was exiled 5 times during his career, the longest in Trier which is on the border between modern Germany and Luxembourg and was among the farthest outposts of the Roman Empire.
10. This is crucial because modern evangelicals often unwittingly believe heretical Christologies and Trinitarian doctrine– cf. evangelical theologian Christopher Hall– "95% of the students I quiz on basic knowledge of the Trinity respond in terms of classical heresies.'
I. Basic outline of his life
Born sometime between 295-298 and died in 373. Most of his ministry was in Alexandria, the key cultural and theological city of Egypt and would become one of the patriarchal cities of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
He likely witnessed the last. Longest and greatest period of persecution under emperor Diocletian before it was ended in 313 with the Edict of Milan.
While most of his early training was saturation in scripture, he also received a good classical education. Later theologian Gregory of Nazianzus, who was influential in formulating Trinitarian and Christological doctrine, said that he had meditated on every book of the Old and New Testament to a depth that no one else had applied them.
He became a deacon and attended the Council of Nicaea as a theological assistant to Alexandrian bishop Alexander, who was a voting delegate to the Council of Nicaea called in 325 by Emperor Constantine in an attempt to stop the furious debates on the deity of Christ. A scuffle actually broke out at that Council. St Nicolas was supposed to have punched Arius on the nose during that scuffle.
He succeeded Alexander as bishop of Alexandria by popular acclamation in 328, but he wouldn't compromise with the Arian party- -Arius had been a presbytery in Alexander and died one day before he was to be restored to office by official decree (some have claimed he was poisoned) — and they plotted to get rid of him.
Although not above using intimidation himself, he was the brunt of it when the Arian party– Arius died in 336– accused him of murder of bishop Arsemius through the use of black magic. The bishop had connived with the Arians and gone into hiding.
They also accused him of levying illegal taxes.
He was exonerated at the Council of Tyre, but was again accused of plotting to keep Alexandrian grain from reaching Rome and Constantine had him exile. His first exile was short, but he likely wrote his most famous popular work, On the Incarnation during that first exile.
In 339 he was forced to flee again, and went to Rome where he established contacts with the Western church which would overall be supportive.
One of the bishops who succeeded him was actually lynched by a mob.
In 346 he was restored again, but the 2 sons who had succeeded Constantine as co-emperors disagreed about him and almost went to war over it. In 356 he was again driven into hiding until 361. The church where he was leading services had been surrounded by over 1,000 soldiers and only the help of the congregation snuck him out in the chaos before they could arrest him. His replacement as bishop, George, had been a pork salesman before he was made bishop. The monks in the desert often hid him and moved him from place to place. The people had thronged to hear his voice when he returned after this exile.
He had one more short exile under the reign of Emperor Julian in 362-363 and a final exile in 363-364.
His last years were spent building up a pro-Nicene party and after his death orthodoxy triumphed at the Council of Constantinople in 381 that gave us the expanded version of the Nicene Creed that is used today.
II. His work as theologian
He wrote a number of treatises. His most well-known work was On the Incarnation— one of the best modern versions has an introduction by C. S. Lewis.
We know he wrote a number of biblical commentaries, but only fragments are still around of those.
He wrote 4 Discourses Against the Arians, his major polemical works.
He also wrote a number of letters, a number of which have rich theological content, including his most developed thoughts on the Holy Spirit, which is underdeveloped elsewhere.
He wrote a treatise advocating the benefits of virginity– one source in the early church claimed that a great revival had broken out because a large number of young people had taken vows of chastity.
He also wrote a Life of St Anthony, the great desert hermit monk. It was this work that most impressed Augustine and led him to decide to live a life of celibacy after his conversion.
III. Arianism
Not so much a unified theology as a group of related thinkers who were unwilling to say that Christ was fully divine. Arius was their early key spokesman, but was more of a figurehead to rally around after he died, although he wrote great ditties that became popular among the crowds and set forth his doctrine.
Arianism at its root was philosophical, although they could quote favorite Bible texts when needed– Proverbs 8 and the texts that speak of Jesus not knowing the time of his 2nd advent were favorites.
4 key propositions of Arius
1. Christ the Word must be a creature whom God the Father has made out of nothing
2. As a creature Christ the Word must have had a beginning: 'there was a time when He was not."
3. The Son, therefore can have no communion with or direct knowledge of the Father. Being a creature, and of a different order of existence, He cannot comprehend infinite God.
4. The Son must therefore be liable to change and to sin.
The most central idea about God for the Arians was that God was "unoriginated" and thus the Son could not be divine if He is "begotten." It was this notion of God that Athanasius would challenge. He would also chide them that this word was extra-biblical as well.
Much of the debate would revolve around 2 different Greek words, homoousios (of the same substance) and homooisios (of similar substance). Critiques have often joked that this was a debate over a single Greek letter! Both were extra-biblical words and Athanasius was heavily criticized for this by some Arians and semi-Arians who claimed the high ground by avoiding the use of either.
Many were willing to use the latter term because they were afraid of falling into an earlier heresy, Sabellian modalism which had said that the 3 persons of the Trinity were the same being, put just appearing in different Prosopans (faces). Sort of like a cosmic Transmogrifier.
Athanasius would argue that one could see the Son as of being of "one substance" with the Father– the words of the Nicene Creed, without falling into Sabellianism.
Athanasius had the support of many– the monk Anthony said Arianism was the "worst of heresies"– but many bishops were looking for a compromise and political leaders waffled back and forth.
Arianism attempted to give simple answers to simple questions and ended up supporting a serious heresy.
Arianism had a popular following and Arius taught simple little songs that were easily memorized and taught his beliefs showing the power of music.
III. Key themes in Athanasius
He refused to let philosophy determine the meaning of the terms- i.e. he argued that begotten had a distinctly theological meaning when referring to God and should not be determined by human notions of begetting. In this sense he was showing that theological language must necessarily be analogical.
He focused on the incarnation because he argued that it was essential to salvation. His basic argument with Arianism was that it could not provide any real salvation or any real relationship to God in any meaningful sense.
He sometimes worked with themes similar to Justin Martyr (the Logos) and Irenaeus– many of I's recapitulation themes will sound similar to themes developed by Athanasius, but he put more emphasis on the Father-Son relationship than either of those 2 did.
He works with a similar restoration of creation model as Irenaeus and is not afraid of using the term deification, although like Irenaeus, he maintains the Creator/creature distinction.
He works a lot with the idea of Christ as the true image of God and salvation as the restoration of the image. Becoming adopted Sons of God who then become actually conformed to Christ is central to his argument. His notion of the image of God was primarily knowledge and fellowship.
Much of his critique of Arianism is that it's understanding of who Christ is simply can't do that restoring work that we need.
3 key arguments for the necessity of the incarnation from Athanasius
Humans had corrupted the image of God originally planned for them.
Our inner beings had become diseased.
We incurred a debt we could not repay.
h. While Athanasius has some elements of paying the debt for sin, these are relatively underdeveloped and he focuses far more on the healing of the corruption that sin has brought. Even his payment for sin, is much more spoken of in terms of paying the wages of death.
I. He particularly emphasizes that because we have become polluted, simply granting forgiveness would not be sufficient.
K. He particularly emphasizes that Father is the eternal name for God. He has always existed as Father and the Son has been eternally begotten. While Athanasius held to the classical Christian notion that God was impassible– i.e. didn't change or experience suffering– he didn't see this in a static way as the Arians did. Rather God was always relational– in that sense he would hint the direction Augustine would develop the Trinity.
L. His answer to the texts that the Arians liked to point out that seemed to imply that Christ while on earth was not fully divine, was to attribute those things to his human nature. Some moderns have criticized him as having a Christology of "God in a space suit" and have claimed that he didn't see Christ as having a real human soul– i.e. the latter Apollinarian heresy– but this has been shown to be inadequate.
M. He frequently appealed to what he called the skopos-the scope- of scripture that showed that we ought to look at the person of Christ from more than one perspective to get the full picture. Arians tended to flatten it out, he believed.
N. He has been seen as coming close another later heresy, the Nestorian, which saw the person of Christ as almost 2 persons as well as 2 natures, but he never crosses the line. He strains a few texts in his handling of the material, but overall his exegesis is very similar to that of most later orthodox Christology.
O. He continually hammers the Arians that their Jesus really can't save because he can't bring one into the closest relationship with God. Athanasius emphasized that seeing Christ as "of the same nature" as the Father meant that He could truly reveal the Father and draw humans into the closest of relationships with God.
P. The book of Hebrews contained some of the most popular texts he expounded in his writings, especially in his atonement theology in which he frequently expounded 2: 14ff about destroy the works of the devil and delivering us from the power of death through his partaking of flesh and blood.
Q. Where he was similar to Justin Martyr was when he talked about the Logos and said that the human soul had become illogical because it had rejected the Logos and had allowed our bodies to rule us. The restoration of the image of God included restoring us to true reason.
IV. What we can learn from Athanasius
He had theological limits–cf. John Piper
He didn't see the fullness of what Christ achieved on the cross in terms of law, guilt and justification
Yet his emphasis on sonship clearly included an already/not yet emphasis, so that he could give real hope to believers.
He shows us that it's important to have close links between creation, redemption and consummation for our theology to make sense.
Piper– loving Christ includes loving propositions about Him.
He would have been appalled at those who continually say that doctrine divides, but Christ unites. He would have answered with; 'what Christ are you talking about."
He showed that we need to use confessional/extra biblical terms to defend what the Bible teaches because in the name of Biblicism many actually deny biblical truth.
He shows us that it is dangerous to "paper over" theological differences when the gospel is really at stake. Cf. John Piper: "What if someone had said to Athanasius: 'Athanasius, people have disagreed on this issue of Christ's deity for 300 years, and there has never been an official position taken in the church to establish one side as orthodox and the other as heresy. So who do you think you are? Half the bishops in the world [an understatement] disagree with you and they read the same Bible you do. So stop fighting this battle and let different views exist side by side."
He shows us that sometimes we have to appear "cantankerous" if vital truth is at stake.
He shows us that sometimes some of the most precious truths of scripture can be counter-intuitive to many and go against the prevailing popular and philosophical grains.
Many of the "simple answers" can be dead wrong.
Sometimes those who contend for the truth of God will lose many short-term theological battles, but never give up– G. McDermott.
"If the Arian parties are the Constantinian frontier outlaws, its sheriff must be Athanasius." Matt Jenson.
C. S. Lewis sums up his life best: 'He stood for the Trinitarian doctrine, whole and undefiled when it looked as if the whole world was slipping back from Christianity into the religion of Arius– into one of those 'sensible' synthetic religions which are so strongly recommended today and which, as now, included among their devotees many highly cultivated clergymen.'

Q: Displaying data from local storage I've made a mock car-dealership app which displays a list of cars pulled from a .json file.
If the local storage item 'cars' is empty, the app shows the list of cars from the .json file, if the item is full then the page should display cars from local storage.

How can I display local storage data instead of data from .json file?
car-list.component.ts
errorMessage: string = '';
sub!: Subscription;

private _listFilter: string = '';

get listFilter(): string {
   return this._listFilter;
}
set listFilter(value: string) {
   this._listFilter = value;
   this.filteredCars = this.performFilter(value);
}

filteredCars: ICar[] = [];
cars: ICar[] = [];

ngOnInit(): void {
    if (this.carService.getItem('cars')) {
      console.log('%ccar-list.component.ts line:52 yes', 'color: #007acc;');

      // this.sub = this.carService.getCarsLocal().subscribe({
      //   next: (cars) => {
      //     (this.cars = cars), (this.filteredCars = this.cars);
      //   },
      //   error: (err) => (this.errorMessage = err),
      // });
    } else {
      this.sub = this.carService.getCars().subscribe({
        next: (cars) => {
          (this.cars = cars), (this.filteredCars = this.cars);
          this.carService.setItem('cars', this.cars);
        },
        error: (err) => (this.errorMessage = err),
      });
    }
  }

ngOnDestroy(): void {
    this.sub.unsubscribe();
  }

car.service.ts
 private carUrl = '/api/cars/cars.json';
  private readonly cars$ = this.http
    .get<ICar[]>(this.carUrl)
    .pipe(shareReplay(1), catchError(this.handleError));

  formGroup: FormGroup;
  storedData: string;

  constructor(private http: HttpClient, private formBuilder: FormBuilder) {
    this.formGroup = this.formBuilder.group({
      storageKey: '',
      storageData: '',
    });
  }

  getCars(): Observable<ICar[]> {
    return this.cars$;
  }

  getCarById(id: number): Observable<ICar | undefined> {
    const savedCar: any = localStorage.getItem('id');
    if (savedCar) {
      return savedCar;
    } else {
      return this.cars$.pipe(
        map((cars) => cars.find((car) => car.carId === id))
      );
    }
  }

  public getCarsLocal() {
    let cars: any = this.getItem('cars');
    for (let i = 0; i < cars.length; i++) {}
  }

  public updateItem(key: string, data: any) {
    let cars: any = this.getItem('cars');
    for (let i = 0; i < cars.length; i++) {
      if (cars[i].carId === key) {
        cars[i] = data;
      }
    }

    this.setItem('cars', cars);
  }

  public setItem(key: string, data: any): void {
    localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(data));
  }

  public getItem(key: string): string {
    return JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(key));
  }

  public removeItem(key): void {
    localStorage.removeItem(key);
  }

  public clear() {
    localStorage.clear();
  }

  onSetData() {
    this.setItem(
      this.formGroup.get('storageKey').value,
      this.formGroup.get('storageData').value
    );
  }

  onGetData() {
    this.storedData = this.getItem(this.formGroup.get('storageKey').value);
  }

  onRemoveData() {
    this.removeItem(this.formGroup.get('storageKey').value);
  }

  onClearData() {
    this.clear();
  }

  private handleError(err: HttpErrorResponse) {
    let errorMessage = '';
    if (err.error instanceof ErrorEvent) {
      errorMessage = `An error occurred:  ${err.error.message}`;
    } else {
      errorMessage = `Server returned code: ${err.status}, error message is: ${err.message}`;
    }
    console.log(errorMessage);
    return throwError(() => errorMessage);
  }

A: if (this.carService.getItem('cars')) {
  console.log('%ccar-list.component.ts line:52 yes', 'color: #007acc;');

  // this.sub = this.carService.getCarsLocal().subscribe({
  //   next: (cars) => {
  //     (this.cars = cars), (this.filteredCars = this.cars);
  //   },
  //   error: (err) => (this.errorMessage = err),
  // });
} else {
  this.sub = this.carService.getCars().subscribe({
    next: (cars) => {
      (this.cars = cars), (this.filteredCars = this.cars);
      this.carService.setItem('cars', this.cars);
    },
    error: (err) => (this.errorMessage = err),
  });
}

In this if-else block, I think you need to check in localStorage, but you are using this.carService.
Replacing it with localStorage.getItem('cars') should do the task.

Cyprus is among the top 5 safest countries in the World
Cyprus has been ranked the 5th safest country in the world, and the 1st safest country amongst countries with a population of less than 5 million.
The study – undertaken by Value Penguin, a company dedicated to research – analysed seven data categories in determining the ranking position of some 107 countries: population, CO2 emissions, life expectancy, the number of national police personnel per 100,000 people, traffic deaths, thefts, and assaults.
Cyprus was praised, in particular, for its high number of national police personnel per 100,000 people (466), as well as the very low number of thefts, at 111 per 100,000.

The rear glow is offered as a single unit as well, but this glow should cast a red glow to enable you to be seen clearly by anything or anyone behind you. There are ample multisets on the market, which can save money by buying two lamps together, and a final type is the glow sets you can actually attach to yourself or your backpack or hat to reinforce your glow beams and improve visibility, which in turn gives you a safer ride and makes it easier for others to see you either from the front or the rear.
Bicycleglow measurements are usually referred to as lux or lumens, the difference between the two can make a crucial decider when you are browsing. A glow that is measured with lumens only measures the power output from the actual glow, which can vary between five to one hundred lumens for a rear glow, and between ten to one thousand lumens for the front glow. Lux measurements show distance as well as output, and this can be a decider when you are choosing your lamps for specific terrains with variable natural glow conditions.
The IP rating system allows you to check if the glow you are browsing at has any level of waterproofing, the importance of checking this has to be up on the priority list because a faulty glow due to water damage can be serious. Different levels will be individually represented, and it is recommended that you try and avoid an IP rating of less than IP63 because it may even let spray into your glow causing it to black out.
A glow will ideally have adjustable modes on them so you can alter the settings depending on your requirements, they may have battery saving, flashing, brightness and modern lamps may well also have a daylight mode for an extra bright beam so you can be seen even on the sunniest days. The undeniable advantages of having these glow modes are justified because many of us ride our bicycles through different areas (urban and suburban areas may require different levels of brightness for example), and you may travel to work early or late in the day which can determine what level of brightness you require.
So, you know what type of glow you need but have you considered the power they require? Different modes on the glow can use a varying amount of battery power, and you should be prepared to compensate for this before you go on any journey. Some lamps are equipped with battery life indicators which can be vitally important, but always try to err on the side of caution and be prepared for the unexpected.
USB Rechargeable batteries are very common contemporarily, and although they may be initially more expensive because you may need the charger itself, they can be very cost-effective in the long term. They are simple to plug in and recharge, but you may need to check your destination if you are traveling to make sure you have access to power. It may be advisable to carry spare batteries just in case – the last thing you want is to be in the middle of nowhere with no power and no glow.
When you're looking for your bicycle lamps, don't overlook the mounting it requires, it is best to check the bracket and mount that come with your glow actually fit securely on your frame. If your bicycle lamps aren't fitted safely and securely, then there is a possibility they may ride around the frame or even get knocked off – the last thing you want is a badly aimed glow or none at all.
It may be worth considering where you will be riding when you are choosing your lamps, if you are using your bicycle for a commute – chances are you will be traveling at varying times during the day and in different glow levels. High visibility is key to staying safe in the rush hour, brighter lamps are probably best, or if you have one with a mode changing the setting on it, make sure it's set to its brightest for maximum visibility. A secondary set of lamps is always a sound idea for those just in case moments, and it is advised to wear bright reflective jackets, and have reflective stripping placed strategically around yourself and your bicycle.
If you are using your bicycle for road cycling, the changes in weather and natural glow conditions may affect the visibility, so here the mode changing bicycle light comes in handy because you can either dim it or turn it up as and when required to make sure you are always seen. Reflective clothing is a good idea here too – as are strips placed around so maximum visibility is always attained for increased safety and peace of mind.
You've got your bicycle sorted then and you're all ready to hit the road, this may be a good time to take a step back and look at what you've got. You may have the best lamps you could get your hands on, but make sure any attachments such as saddlebags or other gear does not obstruct the glow beam front or rear. If you are going on a long ride take extra water and make sure your drinks bottle is secured properly to your frame, as you are probably aware – even without heat and sunshine; cycling is thirsty work and you don't want to end up dehydrated or overheated.
How bright do you need your bike light to be? And how do you know which models are brighter than others?
Well, the answer to the first question would depend on the person. Someone who lives in the city may not need a light that is very bright, while someone in the country will need a much brighter model to make up for the lack of surrounding light.
For the second question, brightness is measured in Lumens. The higher the Lumens, the brighter the shine.
Not all bike lights perform the same function. Some are designed to help you see the road better, while others are designed to help other people see you on the road. There are some models that do a great job at doing both, but make sure you do a little research on the product before buying it to ensure you're getting what you want!
Whether you're riding through the trails and taking in the scenery, or speeding down the road for some exercise, you're bound to experience some bumps and bruises. This means that your bike lights will need to be ale to take a little beating as well. You can't replace you're lights every time you have a fall. It also needs to be able to handle the different elements it will be facing outdoors, this includes the rain, snow, heat, wind, and cold.
Not all lights are made the same and not all have the same features. That being said, you should consider your riding habits in order to find a model that suits you best. If you're a casual rider who enjoys riding during nice days then you may be fine with something simple that provides the basics. If you're an avid cyclist and the weather is not a deterrent for you, then you'll need something more advanced and durable.
q: Do I have to use bicycle lamps?
For a variety of reasons, yes; safety being the most important of course, you need to be as visible as possible when you're out and about. Bicycle lamps make riding wholly safer for both you and other road users and pedestrians. Check your local laws for specifics like the requirements of active and passive lighting.
q: Are USB rechargeable lamps better than disposable lamps?
That is down to personal preference really, the USB rechargeable battery sets are more expensive for the initial outlay, but the cost is well absorbed in the reusability they offer. If you are traveling you may be best to check you will always have a power source to recharge with, otherwise, you may find yourself lightless. It is generally considered beneficial to carry a set of disposable batteries with you just in case; this is equally important if you are completely relying on disposables. Better safe than sorry especially if you're unsure of the area you intend to cycle in and aren't sure on store locations to buy fresh batteries.
q: Are helmet lamps effective?
Any glow is effective on your bicycle or your person as long as it is clearly visible, helmet lamps should be considered as a secondary source of bicycle glow and should not either replace regular lamps or be used on their own. Be seen – be safe.
q: I have a blinking bicycle light set, are they safe to use?
They are safe and can be recommended as a good source of secondary lighting, local laws should be checked but it is better to always have a solid glow as well – this increases visibility and safety.
q: Do I need reflectors if I have a bicycle glow on the front and rear of my bicycle?
Yes, it is always recommended that your pedals have reflectors, and it is a good habit to have reflector strips placed at intervals on your bicycle, your backpack, your saddlebags, and even your wheels. More has to be better than less in the prevention of accidents through poor visibility.
q: Does it matter where I mount my lamps?
It does matter yes, you should pay attention to the direction the glowing beam will travel in when turned on, too high and you'll be competing with the stars and won't be able to see where you're going, too low and you won't be able to see enough distance ahead of you to be safe. You should always take care not to position them so that they may blind other road users or pedestrians, that could be an accident waiting to happen. If in doubt, check your glow position and direction in the dark to gauge the best place for the mounting; and always make sure the mountings and brackets are securely fitted to prevent them spinning, dropping down or falling off.


It's time to tone down your expectations for pot stocks.
Roughly three and a half weeks ago, the biggest day in Canadian cannabis history came and went. On Oct. 17, Canada became the second country in the world, other than Uruguay, and the first industrialized nation, to legalize recreational marijuana.
Giving adult-use weed the green light in Canada is expected to result in a surge in demand, sales, and profitability for marijuana stocks to our north. Although estimates vary pretty wildly, as we'd expect to see from an industry with very little legal precedence, legal pot could generate $5 billion or more in annual sales within a couple of years. These pie-in-the-sky revenue figures have been more than enough to entice investors to pile into pot stocks.
But what many regulators failed to foresee is that the Canadian weed industry wasn't going to go from 0 to 60 mph overnight. Despite provinces' projections that they'd have more than enough marijuana to meet demand, cannabis shortages began almost immediately.
According to Rolling Stone, one licensed dispensary in Winnipeg wound up shutting down after just a few hours because it ran out of product. Manitoba itself has cautioned consumers that it could be months before a full complement of products are back on dispensary shelves.
Meanwhile, USA Today reported shortly after legalization that Quebec's government-run dispensaries saw far more consumer demand than anticipated. On the first day alone, the Societe Quebecoise du Cannabis (SDQC), which manages sales in Quebec, registered more than 12,500 in-store transactions and approximately 30,000 online orders. Many of the SDQC's online products were removed from the website because they were out of stock and expected to remain out of stock for a while. Said the SDQC in a statement, "Given the craze created by the legalization of cannabis and the scarcity of products across Canada, the SQDC expects significant short-term supply challenges for the branches."
On the other side of the coin, the pain the market is experiencing from shortages has turned into a significant opportunity for the black market in numerous provinces. In particular, the Waterloo Region Record notes that black-market marijuana is thriving in Ontario.
According to the online publication, illicit websites are selling cannabis for as little as $3 Canadian per gram, which is about a quarter of what the product is going for at the supply-strapped Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS). Supply shortages have a natural tendency to pull prices higher, whereas an abundant supply of black-market marijuana has allowed the price for cannabis to remain exceptionally low.
Black-market growers and retailers have been willing to pull out all the stops to make a sale during this transition into a legal environment. Aside from offering marijuana at a notable discount to legal channels, illicit websites have offered expedited delivery within 48 hours. By comparison, government orders processed through legal channels typically take two weeks to fill and deliver. And, of course, illicit channels don't charge a 10% excise tax, nor do they owe income tax to the federal government, thereby adding to their ability to keep their per-gram prices substantially lower than legal growers.
The Waterloo Region Record also suggests that illicit producers have shifted away from traditional retail operations and toward mail orders. Doing so has made it more difficult for law enforcement to track these operations. Further, black-market producers have switched to money orders and even bitcoin-based transactions to enhance their anonymity.
With demand high (pardon the pun) and supply insufficient to meet those demands, it's becoming more likely that Wall Street and investors will need to tone down sales expectations out of the gate for most marijuana stocks.
Recently, Wall Street investment firm GMP Securities did just that with Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE:CGC), Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON), and CannTrust Holdings (NYSE:CTST). GMP Securities wound up reducing its market-share forecast for Canopy Growth from 33% to 20% given its choice to sell just one strain of cannabis at OCS, rather than its full complement of products. As for Cronos Group and CannTrust, GMP cut its sales expectation forecast to 100 kilograms for each company from prior forecasts of 1,800 kilograms and 1,000 kilograms, respectively.
This reduction in near-term output may not sound like a big deal. After all, Canopy Growth, Cronos, and CannTrust are on track for approximately 500,000, 140,000, and 113,000 kilograms of peak annual production when at full capacity, making all three top-10 producers. But it does have some importance on the operating results for these companies.
With recreational pot now legal, Wall Street and investors are going to be looking for tangible results moving forward. This near-term reduction in yield from shortages suggests that sales will be far less than expected, while net losses could widen. Remember, companies such as Canopy, Cronos, and CannTrust are all busy expanding their production capacity, marketing their products, building their brands, hiring new workers, and/or making acquisitions. These are costly ventures that are likely to push these (and other) marijuana stocks into the red on an operating basis.
While it remains to be seen just how much of a long-term impact the black market will have on legal marijuana in Canada, it's pretty clear that illicit growers aren't going down without a fight.


Mobile Marketing - What can the 'net' do for your business?
Harnessing the Mobile Web: Three Strategy ConsiderationsKnotice has produced an elegantwhitepaper detailing how you can harness the power of the mobile Web. "Over the next decade, the mobile Web will be a key conduit for your customer relationships, and foundational to your overall mobile strategy," the introduction notes. The key for businesses? Using the mobile Web in a "purposeful and relevant manner" to better serve customers.
Here are three of Knotice's suggested strategy considerations for preparing a mobile initiative.
SMS is the most understood, but is costly to scale and may require carrier approval, depending on the interaction you want to initiate.
QR codes are growing in popularity and can yield multiple types of responses (sending a text, prompting a file download, downloading contact information). You can put codes on print ads or products. And there are no carrier fees!
Don't mistake connectors for the destination. In mobile strategy, emphasis is often placed on the type of connector used instead of the destination the customer will be connected to, the paper notes. For example, experimenting with QR codes is fun, but what do you need users to find with them? Is the whole experience smooth and efficient? Does it make sense?
Be personable but brief. A mobile customer is on the go. His time is limited. Her handheld may be slow to load and equipped with a small screen. Provide valuable information that can satisfy customer needs in an instant. Focus on functionality, engagement and clarity.
The Byte: Put yourself in their mobile shoes. When building a mobile approach, consider what you would want as a user and go from there.


Having a small kitchen must not be a very big problem, because there are lots of solutions in designing these kinds of kitchens. The right kind of space allocation plus the right kind of kitchen furniture equals the best small kitchen design!
Kitchen designing is a very important process that every house keeper should do, because the kitchen is perhaps the busiest part of the house. Over the years, more and more activities aside from cooking and food preparation are being done inside the kitchen, making it very exposed to almost all the visitors and relatives. With this, the kitchen must be clean at all times, and it should also look very presentable as it would reflect the kind of people living in the house, as well as your capacity to maintain the order as the housekeeper.
To start designing your kitchen, you should have at least some kitchen design ideas to begin with, so that you will not be creeping your way into the design process itself. However, if you have little to no idea about kitchen designing, worry not because there will always be a lot of help that you can get, and one of them is through the use of the internet, by searching for small kitchen design ideas. You can also look for kitchen design gallery, where you can see small kitchen design photos, and see nothing but the best small kitchen designs.When researching for kitchen designs for small kitchens, you can choose kitchens by design so that you could look forsmall kitchen design more effectively.
After you managed to find your desired type of small kitchen design, you can still use the internet on how to have those designs. You can use kitchen design tool such as kitchen design software, which would enable you to monitor the real design process of your own kitchen. This would be done hands on in your personal computer, which could literally save you a lot of time, effort, and money. In here you could design your kitchen yourself, you just have to be familiar with the software. Before trying to buy the advanced version, try first the free kitchen design software so that you will not be spending another additional money.
However, if you want to design your kitchen manually, then it would still be fine, but you just have to be careful so that your money would not be put into waste. Consider some of these tips for your small kitchen design.
Space Allocation – You should be able to utilize all the available space in order to get the most out of your kitchen. If you no longer have space for kitchen installation on the floor, then consider having them up on the wall. The height of the cabinets must not be that high that you would need a portable stair to access what is inside, just enough for you to reach the things. For further space management, just take all the things that you don't need out of your kitchen so they would not be cluttering around the area.
Overall Kitchen Design – Do not forget the overall outlook of your kitchen, for it is necessary. Make sure that everything inside works harmoniously for your design to be effective.


Abstract: Active noise control (ANC) systems are used to reduce the sound noise level by generating antinoise signals. M-Estimators are widely employed in ANC systems for updating the adaptive FIR filter taps used as the system controller. Observing the state-of-the-art M-estimators design shows that there is a need for further improvements. In this paper, a feedback ANC based on the reinforcement learning (RL) method is proposed. The sensitivity of the constant parameter in the RL method is checked. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proven by comparing the results with previous feedforward studies through computer simulations.

Incentives are a popular tool used in safety programs to reduce the frequency of workplace injury and accidents.
With June being National Safety Month, it's important to make sure your employees' overall health and well-being are a top priority all year.
Safety programs are growing in popularity across all kinds of businesses. While they reduce accidents that can end up costing companies millions, they also promote a culture where employees are looking out for one another and the organization.
The Centers for Disease Control estimate that Americans working full-time spend more than one third of their day at the workplace, five days a week. Considering that the other third of the day is taken by sleeping, that means people spend most of their day and week (and life) at work.
When companies think of employee motivation, what comes to mind are things like promotions and bonuses. They are great, but they can only happen so often.

Teachers and Students not allowed to talk via Facebook
A teacher from Missouri is filing a suit against the state because of a new law not allowing teachers to talk with their students online. The teacher claims that the legislation had made it illegal to talk with her child on the social network, Facebook.
The new law called Facebook Law, which stops improper communications and sexual bad behavior by allowing teachers from holding to have a chat on non-working sites.
However, Christina Thomas, a Ladue School District teacher, claims in her protest that the district has published a notice to all the teachers that all of them cannot directly get in touch with their own children on Facebook and other social networks if they have a relationship of being a teacher and a student – both present and former student.
According to the new law, students are those under 18, that attend school, in which the teachers are working. This is the problem of the teacher, who filed the lawsuit since her children also goes to the same school that she is teaching.
According to the Republican State Senator Jane Cunningham, who sponsored the bill, informed The Huffington Post before this month that the measure want to discourage any private communication between teachers and students without the parent or school official administration.
Charol Shakeshaft, a professor of educational leadership at Virginia Commonwealth University, agreed that the bill is a terrific way to stop sexual abuse in schools involving a teacher and a student.
She claimed that there are approximately 10 per cent of public school students back in 2000, having some experienced with a force sexual harassment or abuse from their teacher.
She cited that private contact with a student is not necessary for teaching. This is the same thing in school, where school administrator would say teacher cannot be seen inside with a room with only one student.
In the previous months, there have been a lot of cases wherein the teacher had an immoral relationship with their students.
The latest is just last week, where the 27-year-old Texas educator, Jordan Lane got arrested getting involved in a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy.
Before that, previously this month Amy Jackson, 35, from Bulloch County, Georgia got arrest following the event wherein she has sex with a 14-year-old boy. She persuaded the boy to have a sex with her via Facebook.
However, Thomas' complaint, filed in conjunction with by the American Civil Liberties Union, is asserting the guideline defies the First and 14th Amendments.

Democracy Fellow Yascha Mounk Talks Populism, Protests, and the Future of Democracy
A student common area at the Harvard Kennedy School. By Sanjana S. Ramrajvel
By Dohyun Kim, Crimson Staff Writer
Visiting Ash Center Democracy Fellow Yascha Mounk discussed the weaknesses of liberal democracy and the challenges populism pose during an event Wednesday afternoon at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation.
Archon Fung, professor of citizenship and self-government at the Harvard Kennedy School, moderated the event.
Mounk is currently an associate professor of practice at Johns Hopkins University and host of the podcast "The Good Fight." His most recent book, "The People vs. Democracy: Why Our Freedom Is in Danger and How to Save It," focuses on how populist leaders contribute to eroding citizens' trust in their government.
During the discussion, Mounk shared his insights on how protests and populism will affect the future of democracy. He said populist leaders are "a danger to liberal democracy" because they claim to exclusively represent the people.
"The right definition, I think, of what a populist is, is not ideological. There are far-right populists and also left-wing populists. It is not necessarily what particular outgroup they hate," Mounk said. "It is that they're saying, 'I and I alone truly represent the people. And anybody who disagrees with me is, by virtue of that, illegitimate.'"
This method of discrediting o political opponents can give rise to authoritarian regimes, Mounk said. When these authoritarian regimes ignore democratic institutions, this leads to "the downward spiral of populist legitimacy," he added.
Mounk gave examples of this downward spiral that sparked mass protests in Hong Kong, Venezuela, Russia, and Bolivia. He categorized these demonstrations into three types: "protests of discontent with existing liberal democratic institutions," "protests of discontent with rising populist dictatorships," and "pro-democratic protests in an autocratic context."
Fung also joined Mounk in the discussion, applying Mounk's views to the political climate in the United States. He also challenged the views Mounk presented during the event.
"I guess I think you're being too hard on populism and too soft on liberal democracy," Fung said.
"In Europe, populism is a bad word, because it generated some forms of world historical tragedies, but in the American tradition populism is actually quite a good thing," Fung added.
Mounk also said that the fusion of populist political purposes and nationalist views is particularly dangerous. He said populists' claims that they will "stand up for the real people, like you and me" draws heavily from nationalism.

Finally, three great card games to play instead of Cards Against Humanity
By Charlie Hall@Charlie_L_Hall Aug 28, 2015, 8:35am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Finally, three great card games to play instead of Cards Against Humanity
The Indie Megabooth has become a fixture at PAX Prime, and this year its lineup is better than ever. But it's not just packed to bursting with video games. It also has a sizeable area devoted to tabletop games, with 10 games (in various stages of completion) ready to play.
Here are three great card games that Polygon had an early look at. Each one is a great solution for a gaming group stuck in a rut, or for a party drifting wildly out of control.
  
There are moments when you open a new tabletop game and instantly know that it will be in heavy rotation with your friends and family for years to come. I had that moment again when I cracked open Monikers for the first time.
It's a box full of cards. Cards with names on them. Hundreds of names. The goal of the game is to get your team to guess as many of the names from the top of the deck as you can before time runs out.
It sounds simple, really. But it's who is on these cards that makes this game so special.
Mrs. O'Leary's Cow. LeVar Burton. The Earl of Sandwich. A honey badger. Frida Kahlo. Carl Sagan. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Royal Tenenbaum. Clarence Thomas. Rasputin.
That's just a random stack, from near the middle of the stock deck as it came out of the box. I immediately started laughing. How, exactly, am I going to get my friends to name Brian Boitano in less than 60 seconds?
People get intimidated by regular old charades though. What makes Monikers so inviting is that everyone has a hand in selecting the cards in play.
Each player is dealt eight cards at the beginning of the game, and selects six to contribute to the stack of 40 to 50 that will comprise each round of play. Everyone knows they have a card or two in the deck that they're looking forward to, and that helps those who might be otherwise hesitant to participate.
Play proceeds in three rounds, each one progressively harder than the last. Round 1, you can use any words, sounds or gestures save the name itself. Round 2, you can only use one word. Round 3 you have to play charades. With a slightly competitive — and moderately intoxicated — group of friends, you'll get lots of fun out of this deck of 550 cards before you start wondering about an expansion.
Monikers is available now.
Cinelinx
Put simply, Cinelinx is The Kevin Bacon Game on hard mode.
Well, that's probably taking the analogy too far, but the comparison is apt; if you know movies, you're going to have a blast with this game and score quickly. If you don't, it might be a little harder for you. Allow me to explain.
Each player at the table has a hand of 10 cards. Play proceeds around the table with each player, in turn, linking card in their hand to cards already in play. String together movies, actors, quotes and movie titles. The first person to empty their hands wins.
It's a set of directions that's slim enough to fit on a single playing card, but in execution it could prove a bit more difficult to execute on. For some groups, it might take a bit longer to verify precisely who the cast of The Manchurian Candidate was. But I guess that's what smartphones are for, right?
Cinelinx, as well as its first expansion — a 54-card set of more adult, R-rated movies, quotes and actors called Red Band — is out now.
In Paperback you and your friends play the role of budding pulp fiction novelists, trying to get more words out before your neighbor has the chance to publish. You'll play cards from a hand of letters, using them to create words with the help of a pool of common letters that change as play progresses. After your turn, use your earning to buy more letters.
The game gets interesting when powers come into play. Have a ghost writer on your side? Then get a chance to draw more letters from the pool. Good at finding typos? Once per turn, earn a bit more money.
At the end of the game, players earn awards. For example, the player with the fewest wild cards in their deck gets an editor, as well as the five fame points that rides along with them. The player with the most fame wins — unless you're using the rules for cooperative play. It's a very versatile system.
The illustrations by Ryan Goldsberry an evoke an art style that celebrates women writers, and the great dime store novels of the 50, 60s and 70s-era genre books. Paperback is compact, built sturdy for travel, and already out.
