Home Blu-Ray/DVD Blu-Ray Review: Chimpanzee
Blu-Ray Review: Chimpanzee
There is no question that Chimpanzee, the fourth documentary in the Disneynature label, is an incredibly ambitious film. So why would the filmmakers choose to take an amazingly shot film that practically writes itself and accompany it with their most juvenile voice-over to date? I've come to terms with the fact that most of the nature documentaries that come out anthropomorphize their subjects. It helps keep things interesting if the viewer is able to identify with the subject matter. But in telling the story of "Oscar," the baby chimpanzee that is the subject of this film, Tim Allen's narration reduces the proceedings to a preschool level, negating any emotional investment in exchange for 78 minutes of "awwww."
All of this is a real shame as their is a compelling, though overly simplistic, story at the heart of the film. It really boils down to the following: Oscar is born, Oscar is raised by his mother, Oscar's mother is killed (off camera), none of the other mothers will care for Oscar, and finally, Oscar is "adopted" by Freddy, the Alpha Male of the group. Throw in a rival gang of chimps threatening the wellbeing of this group, and you have a solid little movie. Unfortunately, Allen's narration doesn't so much guide the viewer through the events of the film as it tries to put the viewer into a toddler's mindset.
Featuring winning dialogue such as "Mr. Nut, meet Mr. Rock," and even a Home Improvement style grunt at his own mention of power tools, this is real lowest-common denominator stuff. I get the thinking behind this. Oscar is a toddler, so we as the audience, should see things from that perspective. When this is overused, however, it ceases to feel like a documentary but rather overly manufactured fluff.
Thank goodness then the film is so gorgeous on a visual level. As expected from the Disneynature brand, the filmmakers have taken us into a stunning world seldom seen by man. They manage to get right into the middle of the subject's world, and it never feels as if we are voyeurs just watching from the sidelines. The Blu-Ray has a fascinating behind-the-scenes feature detailing the extensive, multi-year process that went into shooting this film. I already appreciated the incridble work of these filmmakers, but I respect what they went through even more after seeing the actual process involved.
This feature, called "On Location: The Making of Chimpanzee," runs slightly over 38 minutes, and is a fascinating look at every aspect of production. Alternating between inspiring and incredibly uncomfortable (the "Forest of Bees" must be seen to be believed), this is a feature that must be seen by anybody interested in the nature-documentary process. Unfortunately, most of the other extras feel like little more than commercials for Disney as they hype up their own environmental programs. I'm not disparaging any of these programs, but I don't know if I would really classify them as "bonus features." Their is also a music video by the McClain Sisters and a very brief "behind-the-scenes" feature of this video.
Chimpanzee has been released in a 2-Disc combo pack, featuring both the Blu-Ray and the DVD. While not my favorite of the Disneynature series of films, kids will fall in love with Oscar, and while Allen's narration fails to enhance the experience of the film, it doesn't negate the visual wonder that makes this a must-see film.

The Beacon 22/02/2020 News
Ryanair CEO calls for Muslim men to be profiled at airports
Michael O'Leary, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ryanair, has claimed that Muslim men should be profiled at airports. He argued that they pose a "threat" and should be targeted by authorities to prevent terrorist attacks. O'Leary made the comments in a new interview with the Times.
The comments come only days after a knife attack on a mosque in London which left one man injured after he was stabbed in the neck by a 29-year-old man.
The airline executive told the Times that families with children shouldn't be targeted at airports. This is because the chances they will be terrorists "is zero". However, he argued the opposite for single men.
O'Leary, asking "Who are the bombers?", said they are "single men travelling on their own". He then went further, declaring:
You can't say stuff, because it's racism, but it will generally be males of a Muslim persuasion.
And, he added:
If that is where the threat is coming from, deal with the threat.
O'Leary's comments have been roundly criticised. Shaykh Dr Umar Al-Qadri, the Head Imam of the Islamic Centre of Ireland, said the comments were "disappointing". Al-Qadri also opined that such comments add to the "racism and discrimination against the [Muslim] community".
In a statement the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) declared that O'Leary's comments were "the definition of Islamophobia". And it voiced its frustration "that the CEO of a large airline would so want to discriminate against his customers so brazenly".
The Dublin City Interfaith Forum (DCIF) also attacked O'Leary for his comments. In a press release it wrote that the CEO's remarks "fuel an atmosphere already rife" with Islamophobia and anti-Islamic feelings. It went on, accusing him of:
feeding an ugly and growing reality of racism in Irish life with his comments; and considering that they come on foot of a racist and murderous incident in Germany only offers a wider context to his comments that make them even more reprehensible.
Far-right terrorism
A report last year found that the main terrorist threat now comes from the far right. Research by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IED) found that there has been a "surge" in far-right terrorism even though deaths from terrorist attacks "peaked" in 2014.
In the last five years it noted that there has been a 320% increase in far-right attacks in this time period.
This article was updated on Saturday 22 February to include comments from the Dublin City Interfaith Forum.

State briefs: Steel manufacturing plant planned for Athens area
ATHENS – A steel company based in suburban-Chicago is planning to open a plant in the Athens area.
The Decatur Daily reported that Nexus AG Holdings is buying a 300,000 square-foot building from Calhoun Community College and Alliance Steel will put a steel coil company in the building.
Limestone County Economic Development Authority Chairman Tom Hill said the company is making a $10.88 million investment in the expansion.
The newspaper reported the company is planning to create 45 jobs within three years.
Tuscaloosa renews $175,000 contract with chamber
TUSCALOOSA – Tuscaloosa is renewing a $175,000 contract that essentially outsources the city's economic development efforts to the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama.
The Tuscaloosa News reported that the City Council voted unanimously last week to let the chamber be its chief job recruiting agency for a second year.
Chamber President and CEO Jim Page said the first year was a success, with about 30 business projects in the works for a total community investment of $127 million. He said the city contract also helped the chamber leverage a lower cost than the $900,000 estimated for a "Buy Local" advertising campaign last year.
Some City Council members haven't been completely satisfied with the partnership, saying more could work have been done to bring jobs to some parts of the city.
Lowndes County official accused of using office improperly
MOSSES – The director of the Lowndes County Emergency Management Agency has been indicted on charges that he used the office improperly.
WSFA-TV reported that Walter Hill is charged with using his public position for personal gain and second-degree forgery, a felony. The forgery charge stems from allegations that Hills falsely making an ID card.
Hill also serves as mayor of Mosses, but the charges are related only to his position with the EMA. Resident Edward McCall tells WAKA-TV that other people are trying to get rid of him because he's a good man and a good mayor. Hill couldn't be reached for comment.
Hill's bond was set at $2,500. He has a court appearance on Jan. 31.
$7M expansion planned for science museum
DECATUR – One of the nation's largest pest control companies has big plans to expand a science museum near its Alabama headquarters.
AL.com reported that Cook's Pest Control announced Monday it will spend $7 million moving the museum the company opened in the 1960s to a downtown building with 35,000 square feet.
That much space means the Cook Museum of Natural Science, which now has about 1,200 specimens, will get a whole lot bigger. Proposed exhibits include live aquarium displays with tarantulas, Madagascar hissing cockroaches and a working beehive, plus an underground explorer's cave and an ocean exhibit featuring jellyfish and tropical fish.
Cook's expects to open the new museum in 2015 and anticipates 200,000 visitors in its first year. Another big change: the company will charge admission at the once-free attraction.

IN RE: the ADOPTION OF Steven Fitzgerald EASLEY
District Court of Appeal, Fourth District,Division 1, California.
IN RE: the ADOPTION OF Steven Fitzgerald EASLEY, also known as Michael Wayne Tillman, a Minor. Murriel TILLMAN, Appellant, v. Solomon EASLEY, Jr., and Tina Louise Easley, Petitioners and Respondents.
Patricia H. Mason, San Diego, for appellant. Robert A. Ward, San Diego, for respondents.
Appellant is the mother of a two-year-old child adopted by respondents; refused to consent to the adoption; and appeals from the order granting such predicated upon a finding that, after custody of the child had been given to the father by judicial decree, the mother, for a period of one year, failed to communicate with the child when able to do so which, by virtue of s 224 of the Civil Code, obviated the necessity for obtaining her consent.
Section 224 of the Civil Code, in pertinent part, provides:
'A legitimate child cannot be adopted without the consent of its parents if living; however, after the custody of any child has, by any judicial decree, been given to the father, and the mother for a period of one year fails to communicate with such child when able to do so, * * * then the parent to whom custody has been given alone may consent to such adoption, but only after the parent to whom custody has not been given has been personally served with a copy of a citation requiring * * * her to appear at the time and place set for the appearance in court under Section 227 of this code'.
Section 227 provides for a hearing upon the adoption petition.
Appellant contends the the finding obviating the necessity for her consent is not supported by the evidence because there is no showing (1) when the judicial decree granting the father custody of the child was entered, nor (2) of a failure to communicate for the period prescribed by the statute.
Following the child's birth he was placed with the father who in turn placed him with respondents under a boarding home arrangement. The mother obtained an interlocutory decree of divorce which awarded custody of the child to the father and of other children of the marriage to her. The date of entry of this decree is material to the finding of noncommunication for one year because the failure to communicate during that period must have occurred after custody of the child had been awarded to the father. (Adoption of Thevenin, 189 Cal.App.2d 245, 251, 11 Cal.rptr. 219.) The report of the County Department of Public Welfare, filed in the proceeding pursuant to s 226.6 of the Civil Code, showed that the interlocutory decree 'was granted June 19, 1963.' The information contained in this report properly was before the court for consideration in determining the adoption issues. (See Adoption of Thevenin, supra, 189 Cal.App.2d 245, 253, 11 Cal.Rptr. 219.) No objection was made to a consideration of that part thereof relating the time when the interlocutory decree was entered. Appellant's contention there is no evidence from which the court could determine when the judicial decree awarding custody of the child to the father was entered disregards the report in question.
Appellant's further contention that the evidence does not support the finding she failed to communicate with her child for the period prescribed by s 224 is predicated upon a statement by the trial court at the conclusion of the case that there was no more than 'token communication' by her, and upon the assertion that communication was established by her testimony.
The trial court found, as set forth in the order of adoption, that custody of the child was given to the father by judicial decree 'and the mother for the period of more than one year failed to communicate with said child when able to do so.' Any comment by the court in its summation of the evidence may not be urged in derogation of this finding. (Strudthoff v. Yates, 28 Cal.2d 602, 615, 170 P.2d 873.)
When the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain an order is questioned on appeal 'all conflicts in the evidence must be resolved, and all reasonable inferences must be conceded' in favor of the order. (Johnson v. Griffith, 19 Cal.2d 176, 179, 120 P.2d 6), and it will be assumed the trial court accepted that evidence in support of its order and rejected that supporting a contrary conclusion. (Shields v. Shields, 200 Cal.App.2d 99, 102, 19 Cal.Rptr. 129; Fries v. Anderson, Clayton & Co., 190 Cal.App.2d 667, 675, 12 Cal.Rptr. 336.) There is substantial evidence from which the trial court was entitled to conclude that appellant did not want the child and had intended to give him away; that she knew where the child had been placed by his father; that following the interlocutory decree which awarded custody to the father, she did not communicate with the child at any time until after she was served with the citation required by s 224 of the Civil Code which was sometime in October, 1964; that on one occasion the child was taken to Los Angeles by the father in order that she might visit with him but she refused to do so; and that during the period in question following entry of the interlocutory decree she made no inquiry concerning the child. This testimony fully supports the finding that appellant failed to communicate with the child during a one year period between entry of the judicial decree awarding custody to the father and issuance of the citation required by s 224 of the Civil Code.
Whether a mother fails to communicate with her child, within the meaning of s 224, is a question of fact determinable in light of the spirit of the law 'which although 'solicitous toward maintaining the integrity of the natural relation of parent and child' * * * recognizes that this relation may be terminated by conduct of the mother regarded as unnatural and destructive,' and the purpose of the statute which 'is to provide the child with a real mother, instead of one who, by her past conduct, is proven to be a mother in name only, even though related by blood.' (Adoption of Thevenin, supra, 189 Cal.App.2d 245, 250—251, 11 Cal.Rptr. 219, Adoption of Burton, 147 Cal.App.2d 125, 134, 305 P.2d 185.)
Applying the foregoing concept to the case at bench the evidence adequately supports the finding that appellant failed to communicate with her child for a period of one year following entry of the interlocutory decree. Even though the court, contrary to its finding, concluded there had been a token communication, and its statement to this effect might be considered in determining whether in making that finding it applied the correct rule of law (See, Union Sugar Co. v. Hollister Estate Co., 3 Cal.2d 740, 751, 47 P.2d 273; Winegar v. Gray, 204 Cal.App.2d 303, 312, 22 Cal.Rptr. 301), a conclusion contrary to that heretofore expressed is not indicated. Obviously the acts to which the court referred as a token communication did not constitute that type of communication contemplated by the statute and, under the rule heretofore expressed, did not require a finding contrary to that made by the court. Following the 'token communication' observation the court specifically declared it found 'that the mother of the child has, for a period of more than a year failed to communicate with the child,' and if necessary would find 'that that has been with intent to abandon the child regardless of what her intention or wishes now are * * *.' The testimony of the mother respecting alleged acts of communication or attempts to communicate, even assuming as contended by her that in some respects there was no contradiction thereof, was not binding on the court, which was entitled to disregard it as untrustworthy because of her interest in the outcome of the case and its contradiction by other testimony indicating her complete rejection of the child. (Miller v. Johnson, 214 Cal.App.2d 123, 125, 99 Cal.Rptr. 251.)
The order is affirmed.
COUGHLIN, Justice.
GERALD BROWN, P.J., concurs.


Thank you for considering the Edina Fall into the Arts Festival in Edina, Minnesota as part of your 2019 festival schedule. It is our goal to make this event an enjoyable and rewarding show for all involved!
Edina Fall into the Arts Festival is a benefit for the Edina Crime Prevention Fund, which keeps the residents of Edina safe. Centennial Lakes Park is a prime location for an art fair and said to be one of the most beautiful locations in the country. We are eager to have you join us and will do everything to make the 16th Annual Edina Fall into the Arts Festival a huge success!

Being my religion is Buddhism, we believed in past life. All the things good or bad we have experienced in this life are consequences of the things we have done in past lives. If we have done good deeds in past life, we can have or achieve good things in current life. In other way round, to be able to get good things in next lives, we have to do good deeds in present life. This is one of the reasons I am sharing the things on my blog.
It was the precious habit that I received from my dad that is reading. Since my childhood, I have read so many books that were collected by my dad. I don't care whatever I understand the subject inside the books or not, I read all the books I can read. All the pocket money given by my mom was also used for buying books. The old books shops in the downtown of Rangoon are the area I like most to walk around. As of always I was buying these old books and not using for eatery things, my mom warned one time that "I won't give you pocket money anymore if you still go and buy these books..." This is also my hobby of collecting books. Now, internet age, I like internet so much as of I can find a lot of things I want on it. And, also all the things I found on internet also I want to share. It is also one of the ways I was making good deeds by sharing knowledge to whom need it.
So now, here are three books of TOEFL training for Reading, Writing and Vocabulary. I hope it will helpful to who are studying English As Foreign Language. Please click on the book covers to download them.
Today morning, when I was on the bus from Harbour Front to RWS site office, I saw so many workers near to Sentosa Gate (Arch). Seeing so many workers in this place is not new to me as of there are nearly twenty or thirty thousand of workers are working in this Sentosa IR project. This is the time they go into site and start a day of work. But, the scene today I saw was quite strange. Most of them are carrying huge luggage, they are looks alike going to start trip to somewhere. Somewhere...??? Which place will be somewhere they supposed to go? That's their hometown.
Of course, now the project is nearly end. There are a few tens of thousand of workers will be released from this project. And currently there are two of the biggest projects holding several thousands of workers are going to end soon. They are known as two IRs, one is Sentosa IR called Resorts World at Sentosa and another one is Marina Bay Sands.
As you all know, so many countries including Singapore were affected by global financial recession last year, several business sectors were affected, several thousands of workers are un-employed, some are retrenched, and wages cut out, so and so... But, construction sectors usually delay in effects. The reason is the projects that are running, on-going are bid-and-win in previous years. So, the effect of recession, lesser in projects will affect the construction sector by subsequent year, may be in 2010. Furthermore, not only Singapore, but also some of the countries in region were spoke out that they will try to be lesser dependent on foreign workers resources.
So, how does it affect to foreign workers? Of course, there will be huge impact on foreign workers. Now, start from this week there will be lesser and lesser workers on site. Especially workers from China, they are people who are going back to home first, the second batch will be second big amount of workforce who are Indian. And, after that, how about workers like us? If there is lesser construction projects and local government will emphasize to satisfy local people, how we all can survive.
We should have more diligence to play safe in next year in our working environment to be able to survive in construction industry. Now, the Cheese we are relying became lesser and lesser, so what should we do? Shall we go and find other place which cheese we like is abundant? That place, could it be our homeland?
The thing we are sure is better to be prepared!

A joint Canadian-US effort has identified the genes that produce THC and CBD.
The discovery of the genes will make it much easier to grow weed with specific levels of the two primary compounds of cannabis. It also enables researchers to move on to figuring out which genes are responsible for giving different strains their signature taste and smell.

Q: Round up high digit numbers to halfway 10k (15k and 25k) I am trying to round the following high digit to something specific.
lowboundx = 14400

I currently use either one of the following code lines but it appears to round it down all the time to something like 10k.
seq1x <- round(lowboundx, digits = -(trunc(log10(abs(lowboundx))))) #outcome = 10000
seq2x <- round(lowboundx, digits = - 4) #outcome = 10000

What I need is to round this, and any other number, to the closest round number up (so not down). So for example:
9999 becomes 10000 | but | 10001 becomes 15000
11000 becomes 15000
14400 becomes 15000
17760 becomes 20000 and so on...

I know trunc is being used to round things down to the next logical number, but is there a way to reverse this and make it go up?
Any help would be welcome!

A: my_numbers <- c(9999, 11000, 14400, 17760)
ceiling(my_numbers / 5000) * 5000
#[1] 10000 15000 15000 20000

A: The following assumes you've got integers, and want the first one or two significant figures
x <- c(9999, 10000, 10001, 11000, 14400, 17760)

digits <- floor(log10(x)) + 1
scale_factor <- 5 * 10^(pmax(0, digits-2))

scale_factor*ceiling(x/scale_factor )

#10000 10000 15000 15000 15000 20000

Ryan Dunn's Last Work Might Be Shelved After His Death

Proving Ground, a G4 reality show starring the late Ryan Dunn of Jackass fame, might be shelved in the wake of Dunn's death at 34 after a fiery car crash in Pennsylvania Monday.
"The show is off the schedule as of today until we discuss next steps," a G4 spokeswoman told The Washington Post's TV writer, Lisa de Moraes.
The half-hour show, which premiered last week, showed Dunn and co-host Jessica Chobot trying to re-create movie stunts on the streets, with the help of experts; there are eight episodes remaining that the network is undecided on.
The cable channel, which is owned by Comcast, issued this statement Monday: "All of us at G4 are shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic news that Ryan Dunn has passed away.
"Ryan's comedic wit and signature no-holds-barred approach made him an incredible talent and his work on G4's 'Proving Ground' was flawless."
In addition to Proving Ground, Dunn appeared in all of the Jackass movies, as well as an episode of Law & Order: SVU.
This year, he also had scripted roles in small budget films such as Welcome to the Bates Motel, Booted, and Close-Up. Other films he'd appeared in included Living Will..., Street Dreams and Minghags.

Take your favourite revenge movie and crank the action-dial up a few notches… Welcome to Vengeance!
Mighty Boards
Project We Love Ogden, UT Tabletop Games
"A very, very clever action dice puzzle game" - Rahdo Runs Through.
"There are very few games out there that really capture exactly the feel of what they're going for. A lot of games try. But there are some games that do it perfectly. Vengeance is definitely one of them." - Undead Viking.
Vengeance is a miniatures board game that embodies the essence of pulp revenge movies like Kill Bill, Old Boy, Django Unchained and the like. You play a hero that has been left for dead by shady underworld gangs, out to avenge yourself.
You win by building your hero up into an unstoppable killing machine, mowing down the villains who wronged you, bursting into their bosses' dens to lay down your vengeance upon them in action-packed fight sequences.
Over 80 testers in Europe and the US have participated in the game's blind testing process. The following are the elements of the game testers enjoyed most:
fights feel fluid and dynamic, like an actual fight sequence, despite their being turn based.
building a string of combos and pulling them off during fight turns.
the variety of strategies possible.
the balance of chance and strategy/puzzle solving.
The Vengeance core game supports 1-4 players and takes 30 minutes per player to complete. The core game includes 4 gangs: Zuce Clan, Lordz, Tengu-Kai and the Hell Riders. The Rosari Gang Pack expansion adds a new gang, a new hero and the necessary components to take the maximum number of players to 5.
Have a look at the quick guide here to get an idea of how the game works or read through the main rulebook here. You may also download the print-and-play files and give the game a spin here.
Vengeance will include rules in French, Spanish and German available for download in .pdf format soon after the campaign ends.
The core game comes with 80 highly detailed miniatures sculpted by Slawek Kosciukiewicz from Titan Forge. The Rosari Gang Pack adds another 10 miniatures.
Our primary social media channels are the following:
Board Game Geek | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
At the start of the campaign we had a total of 537 fans/likes/followers there. As this total increases we'll unlock more game goodies through the social stretch goals listed above.
Rahdo Runs Through Review:
Undead Viking's Review:
"Action-packed, strategy focused, multiplayer experience, with a punch and a lot of bad guys! Had a lot of fun playing it. Highly recommendable." - Phray Dilla, tester.
"I love the cinematic action in the game, makes you feel like a character in a Tarantino movie or a Frank Miller comic. The adrenaline kicks in with the first roll of dice." - FrancoisZ, tester.
To buy the add-ons, all you need to do is to increase your pledge by the cost of all the add-ons you want. To do this:
Press the "Manage" button next to your pledge on the Kickstarter project page. If you have not pledged yet, it will say "Back this Project".
Click on "Change Your Pledge".
Increase your pledge in the "Pledge Amount" box by the sum of all add-ons you want to order.
After the Kickstarter campaign ends you will receive a link to the project's Pledge Manager.
Within that page you will then be able to select the specific add-ons and quantities you want.
You will also be able to purchase other items there (games, expansions and add-ons) using paypal.
Note: Upon campaign end Kickstarter pledges are final and can neither be fully or partially reimbursed through the Pledge Manager.
The game alternates between Montage and Fight turns. In Montage turns you heal and upgrade your hero with new abilities and items. You also scout gang dens to find the bosses who wronged you and take revenge in the Fight turn. This is done through a combination of a pooled dice draft combined with a selection of possible Montage actions unique to each hero.
The Fight turn is the heart of the game. Pick a gang den containing a boss you have beef with and burst in to exact bloody revenge. You gain VPs for killing the boss, clearing the den from all the minions or both for maximum points.
Fights are basically dice-based puzzles. In each round of the Fight you roll a set of dice and decide the order in which to play them. Upgrade skills and items allow you to swap die-results or string them together to perform enemy-slapping combos giving you more control over their fight actions.
Postage and packing will be calculated at the end of the campaign. It will vary depending on the number of stretch goals unlocked, their volume and weight as well as the number of backers from various regions. Here are the current estimates:
Gordon Calleja is the designer of Vengeance and Posthuman. Gordon is also a video game designer and has done the game design for Will Love Tear Us Apart and Posthuman: Sanctuary. He is also a game researcher and has written a book about game immersion.
Axel Torvenius is the lead artist on Vengeance. He works in the video game industry and was concept artist on games such as: Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Wolfenstein: New Order, Syndicate, Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness.
Slawek Kosciukiewicz is the miniature sculptor for Vengeance and Lobotomy along with a long line of miniatures from Titan Forge.
Fabrizio Cali is an illustrator, 3D modeller and animator. He worked on illustration, graphic design and video assets for Posthuman and Will Love Tear Us Apart. He is the hand behind Vengeance's den illustrations and the Kickstarter video creation and editing.
David Chircop is the lead developer on Vengeance. David is a game designer and developer currently working at CD Project. He is the designer behind the award winning And Then We Held Hands and The Pursuit of Happiness.
Adam Brimmer is the lead graphic designer.
Mark Casha is the Art Director and graphic designer. He has worked on Posthuman, Posthuman Sanctuary and Will Love Tear Us Apart.
Marvin Zammit is in charge of production and fulfilment. He is managing director and tech lead at Mighty Box.
Test Leads: Paul Trundle, Mikkel Rosdahl, Jean-Luc Portelli, Matthew Agius Muscat, Rafael Cordero, Alessandro Canossa and Arda Cevik. These guys were a huge help in the six months of blind testing the game went through. A heartfelt thanks goes to all of them and the 80+ testers they recruited and managed to make Vengeance the great game it is!
Vengeance received funding from the Malta Arts Council.
Vengeance has already been developed in full and tested by a pool of over 80 testers around the world. Note that most of the stretch goals we have lined up have also been tested during this process. After this campaign finishes we will, however, be doing more blind testing to ensure clarity of communication in the rulebook and the game's graphic design.
Then we will be preparing the final artwork for submission to the manufacturers. Most of this is done, except for some stretch goals we have prepared for the campaign. The whole team is very experienced in this process already so there is minimal risk in this part of the project completion.
The next step is manufacturing. We have been in contact with a number of manufacturers and we have selected three who are able to produce the game to our highest quality expectations. We have learned a lot through our first game, Posthuman and we are applying all the lessons learned in order to select the best and most reliable supplier of these. Titan Forge will be assisting with the manufacturing process of the miniatures. Having said this we are giving extra care to miniature production as it is the only part of the process we do not have direct in-house experience in.
We are also in contact with some of the most highly recommended shipping services in order to ensure a smooth process until the game reaches your doorstep.
Having said all of this, there may be some unforeseen circumstances beyond our control which may affect our meticulous plans. In that case we can assure you that we will do everything in our capacity to get the process back on track. All of us here at Mighty Boards are fully committed to deliver you the game we've worked so hard for, and we're putting all our passion and experience to make Vengeance the best product possible.

Tag: #Bob Kipfer
Conservation Pioneers, a Never-Ending Love Story
Bob and Barb Kipfer – medical professionals, parents, conservationists, heart-warming people – two lives well-lived through sharing.
From time to time in life, you meet people with hearts as big as the outdoors they love. It is hard for those who know these two unforgettable people, Bob and Barb Kipfer, to think of one without thinking of the other. They are husband and wife, but they are more than that. They are friends, they are a team, they are life partners in a life well-lived.
The first chapter in their book of life begins at Kansas University Medical Center. Bob was a medical student in his first year of patient care in the hospital wards. Barb had just arrived as a newly graduated nurse on her first job. During his daily classwork around the hospital, Bob took particular notice of Barb. One-day, Bob saw her going into a room where nurses went to dump bedpans. He followed her in, closed the door, and asked her out on a date. He thought he might get dumped-on too, but she said yes. They were married on September 4, 1965, and another chapter in their life had begun.
Two years later, Bob received his draft notice, then served with the infantry in Viet Nam as a battalion field surgeon. That meant he traveled into battle with the troops and worked in field hospitals in the battle zone. Barb continued nursing back in Kansas and caring for their newborn son, Mark, hoping Bob would make it back home. I am sure there were times when Bob wondered the same thing. Like most Viet Nam veterans, he doesn't talk much about that time in his life. Needless to say, he did make it home to his family after his tour of duty ended. They settled down to somewhat normal life during four years of his residency at the Mayo clinic. Their family also grew with the birth of their daughter, Amy. Life was busy, life was good.
Bob, on right, during his tour in Vietnam on the field surgical team.
In 1973 Bob and Barb and the kids moved to Springfield, MO to start a new chapter in their lives. Bob practiced Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine at a local hospital. Barb began to teach at a school of nursing. They bought a home and moved into an urban neighborhood where they still live today. Their lives were busy, but they managed to find time to go fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and sailing on weekends. They played tennis. They traveled. They made lots of friends at work, in their neighborhood, and through social activities. One of those friends owned land with a cabin in the Ozark hills of southern Missouri, where Bob and Barb visited often, and they soon started looking for land of their own. That search led them to land with a clear-flowing creek running through a beautiful valley with forested hills and lots of wildlife. They fell in love with this special place, and another chapter was to be written.
Bob and Barb continued to work at their medical jobs during the week and stayed at their home in town. Unless they were traveling to places all over the world, visiting their kids and grandkids in other states, or going to social events, they were at their valley cabin on weekends.
Ten years after buying the property, Bob decided it was time for another chapter to be written. He had been working in medical administration, in addition to his medical practice, but having more fun on their property, he retired. He gave up tennis for a chainsaw and a tractor down in the valley. Barb waited two more years before retiring just to make sure Bob was house broke.
Retirement started another chapter to their story. During their time spent in the valley, they started working with the Missouri Department of Conservation to clear trees to bring back glades that were once there. They also worked with the department to plant trees for bank stabilization to protect the stream and their land. They even planted over 2,000 tree seedlings themselves for the same purpose. This all sparked their interest in conservation and fed their desire to conserve and protect this special place.
Barb provides an educational ecology tour for kids.
Their transformation from medical professionals to dedicated conservationists and conservation educators is an amazing chapter in their book of life. It's about how their love for conservation grew and changed not just their lives but changed and touched the lives of so many others—more than they will ever know.
They became involved with the Springfield Plateau of Missouri Master Naturalists. Bob writes an informative blog for the group, Barb represents them on the Grow Native board. She leads educational tours of their urban yard in Springfield, where she has planted over 100 native plant species. She even made a video tour of what has been accomplished so far to be used for virtual education. Barb spends a lot of her time in the valley trying to rid their land of any kinds of invasive species or plants not native to the area. They have restored warm-season native grass fields and work at endangered species protection. They collect native butterflies, raise moths, volunteer at special events at the Butterfly House, and host mothing events at their property. A somewhat unique event.
They implemented a forest stewardship plan for their property, and it is now a certified Tree Farm. They were named State Tree Farmers of the Year in 2015 for all their work with timber stand improvements and even hosted a Missouri Tree Farm Conference.
Their land in the valley has grown to 400 acres and includes another cabin with their land additions. The valley and the house are used by college students for stream ecology studies. The Audubon Society has access to bird counts and education. They have hosted Missouri Department of Conservation tours, a black bear study, Boy Scout activities, wildlife studies of plant and animal species, wild mushrooms studies, and field trips for groups studying plant and wildlife identification. Their land is open to other conservation-minded groups for retreats and ecology field trips, woodland management, and stream education.
Bob conducts a hands-on session sharing secrets of life in the outdoors for kids to learn more about conservation.
They were named the 2017 Conservationists of the Year by the Conservation Federation of Missouri. I would bet if you asked them what they have enjoyed doing most of all the things they have done, it would be their work with the public schools' WOLF program. They teach fifth-graders in weekly classroom sessions and host kids in their valley for educational classes several times a year. Bob and Barb have profoundly impacted conservation in the lives of all the kids and people they have taught. The kids love them and will never forget Bob and Barb. This world could use more people like the Kipfer's. Their impact on conservation has been immense.
One of these days, I hope in the far distant future, Bob and Barb will no longer be able to manage their land. When that time comes, they have donated it to Missouri State University under a protected agreement to sustain the valley's natural ecology and use it to educate students who will be our future conservationists and conservation educators.
When Bob and Barb are gone, their ashes will be added to the old cemetery in the valley they loved. Their passion for conservation will continue through these students, the Wolf School kids, and all the other lives impacted by these two people. It will not be the final chapter of their book of life, though. Their story will go on through all the lives they have touched. Those people will pass on their passion for conservation. The Bob and Barb story will continue.
That makes this a never-ending story.

Out of the Classroom & Into the Great Outdoors – the WOLF School Program
A School that Changes the Lives of Kids from 5th grade on
Wolf School Program creates Conservationists
Inspiration, Passion, Empowerment is Learned Here

The amount of time kids spend outdoors in nature is at an all-time low. Time in front of a television, playing video games and time on smart phones is at an all-time high. A recent study by the Seattle Children's Research Institute found that, on average, children now spend only 12.6 minutes a day on outdoor activities compared with 10.4 waking hours being relatively motionless. The result is a childhood obesity rate that has soared due to a combined decline in creativity, concentration and social interaction skills in our kids.
Because of this we are also at risk of losing an entire generation's appreciation for how nature works and how we need to take care of it for future generations. As Richard Louv said in his book Last Child in the Woods, "The child in nature is an endangered species and the health of children, and the health of the earth, are inseparable."
10 years ago in Springfield, MO a group of people got together to try to change those statistics for the kids in their school system. The Wonders of the Ozarks Learning Facility (WOLF) School was formed in partnership with the Springfield Public School System with support from the Wonders of Wildlife Museum and Bass Pro Shops.
WOLF School is like any other public school, but kids choose to attend this one. Well over four hundred 4th grade students who have satisfactory attendance and behavior records apply each year, but only 46 students are chosen by a random drawing to attend as 5th graders. There is wish and hope competition. The school system provides transportation along with teachers Courtney Reece and Lauren Baer, who are passionate about the outdoors and conservation.
This outdoor learning school is operated by the school system, but the classroom is not in a normal school building. It is located in the John A. & Genny Morris Conservation Center in outdoor-themed classrooms that provide state-of-the-art facilities to help further learning with technology and an outdoor learning lab. It was all built for the school by noted conservationist, Johnny Morris.
Next door to the school is the Johnny Morris Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium. Kids also use it as a learning facility and sometimes you can find them telling visitors all about the fish and wildlife on display. The Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World store is next door also and furnishes gear, know-how and support. Johnny Morris would probably tell you WOLF School and all the children it has touched is one of the best investments he has ever made.
Studies have shown that outdoor time boosts classroom performance and they grow up to be better stewards of the environment. The school inspires and educates the next generation of conservation leaders with a complete curriculum in the classroom. Every week, at least once or twice a week, students take what they've learned in the classroom and head out into the great outdoors to learn through hands-on exploration and field experiences.

They learn about the conservation of Missouri's water, forests, caves, prairies, wetlands and glades. The kids get to experience hiking, fishing, snorkeling, canoeing and kayaking, stream surveying, river and stream ecology, woodworking, owl pellet dissection, hunting, shooting, game-calling, birding, caving, animal-handling, map and compass, orienteering and a whole lot more.
Misty Mitchell has been there from the beginning of WOLF School and serves as the staff liaison between Springfield Public Schools, Bass Pro Shops and Wonders of Wildlife. Misty says, "One of my favorite things about WOLF is how it absorbs the entire family. The students are taking and teaching their parents about the natural resources that WOLF visits during the school day. Parents are usually overwhelmed in the beginning as their student's passion for learning increases by leaps and bounds."
Teacher Courtney Reece echoed Misty's words when she said, "My favorite thing about the program is that it doesn't just affect students. It brings families together. Parents are overjoyed that their kids initiate family time because of the program."
The school also has helped with teaching the kids from the Missouri Department of Conservation. Southwest Region Outdoor and Education Supervisor Warren Rose says, "We are pleased to offer teacher training, conservation education curriculums and outdoor skills activities for WOLF, but we also want other Missouri schools to know that we can provide the same thing to their school even if they don't have a special classroom."
Bob Kipfer loves to volunteer his time to help teach the WOLF kids. Wolf School Photo
Volunteers like Bob and Barb Kipfer are also an integral part of the school. The Kipfer's not only come to the classroom to help teach the kids, they also open their land along Bull Creek in Christian County to be used as an outdoor classroom several times a year. I asked Bob his thoughts on these school programs and he said, "In a perfect world, all students would have as least some of the experiences that the WOLF program offers. We have the resources including volunteers, but needs change in our nation's education system to expand the student's horizons. It is, after all, the world that they will be inheriting." I think the majority of teachers and parents would agree with Bob's words.
The success of WOLF School has been credited with helping start a new off campus school for 5th graders called the Academy of Exploration at the Discovery Center of Springfield with a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) focus. In addition, the school system has started the Health Science Academy at Mercy Hospital in Springfield for 8th graders interested in being a part of the health industry.
Over the last decade, over 400 students have graduated from WOLF school. Like Bob Kipfer, I am sure all those involved wish all kids, not just those in Springfield, could have the opportunity to attend schools like WOLF. If that ever happened it could change the lives of a lot of kids and it could also change the broken world we live in.

Maybe if more parents, grandparents, educators and politicians heard the story of Diana Summit we would see those changes happen. Diana always had a passion for science and was lucky enough to have caring teachers who invested their time to fuel that passion. It was through them that she heard about the WOLF School program.
She talked her family into letting her apply and she was accepted. Coming from an underprivileged home with no car and no money she had to catch a city bus, then walk in all kinds of weather to make it to school. Remember this is a 10-year old 5th grader. "WOLF was feeding something inside me that was so powerful that I had to be there. I had always loved school, but WOLF School was special and I was going to be there whatever the price," said Diana.
Diana graduated from WOLF School with the 2008-2009 class and is now the first person in her family to graduate high school. She is currently enrolled at Missouri State University studying to be a veterinarian. Diana says, "When I look back at this time in my life I can clearly see how WOLF and Wonders of Wildlife really changed my life."
How many more lives could be changed because of school programs like WOLF? How many families would grow closer together and stronger? How many kids would grow up to be our future conservationists? How many of these kids as adults would work to change our world for the better?
"If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, then let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it. Perhaps this is what Thoreau had in mind when he said, "the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think the same is true of human beings."

Leave It On The Mat | Live. Learn. Love. Eat.
Not only do I love Yoga, I also need it.
As a human being, I tend to get all wrapped up in my thoughts and feelings and yoga always helps me to stretch and breathe past all that to see that nothing is ever really wrong. Yoga gives me inner peace.
The other day I was doing yoga and Kesa asked me to get her a snack, I had to pause during my session and get her a bowl of cereal and then resume (aggravating). Then while I am in downward dog, I see this.
Yoga is challenging, not only physically, but mentally. That is why I love it. So as I was in downward dog and witnessing the milk from the cereal pouring down my table, I just kept on breathing and letting it go (challenging). I figured that the mess will still be there when I am done. It was really just a matter of not thinking about it while I was doing my yoga and keeping my mind in a state of peace. Easier said than done.
Sometimes, life gets overwhelming and crazy, which can tend to lead me to spend way to much time in my head. That is when I take an hour out of my day to stretch it out and find myself again. To breathe and realize that I am alive and that in the present moment there is never actually anything to be stressed or worried about. I need to get rid of everything that is not authentically me and leave it on the mat.
Yoga also teaches me a lot about myself. It helps me to recognize the places within myself that I am holding onto thoughts and feelings (fears), that I am living and embodying. As you reach a point in the pose where it is very difficult, you can see that there is resistance in your mind. It is a practice to breathe into it, relax and let it go. This practice enables me to do likewise in any difficult situation that life presents.
Yes, I love yoga and I need yoga. In fact that is what I am off to do right now.
But first, I also wanted to share with you what I saw this morning.
Thank you for your thoughts. I am learning what amazing things yoga can do, even more for my mind than for my body right now. Love it (and the name of your post as well).

The Month in Horror Releases: August
RyanHorror NewsAnnabelle Creation, August, entertainment, Film, Horror, Movies, The Month in Horror Releases16 Comments
Looks like we might have a better month for horror this time around as a couple indies with plenty of buzz are seeing a release along with the sequel to Annabelle that no one was asking for. That said, Annabelle: Creation has (to my surprise) been seeing some positive buzz after an early screening, so who knows, it could be one of this summer's big surprises. But before we get started, here's what I watched in July:
Tragedy Girls (review): A hilarious and fiercely entertaining slasher the blends an old school slasher mentality with today's social media obsession.
68 Kill (review): Gnarly and gross in all the right ways, 68 Kill plays like a sleazy throwback to the exploitation era with another fantastic and hilarious turn by Mathew Gray Gubler.
Better Watch Out (review): A Christmas-set home invasion thriller with quite the twist up its sleeve, Better Watch Out is a solid little movie with a bite. Major points for its ridiculous homage to Home Alone.
68 Kill (Theaters & VOD)
Director: Trent Haaga
Cast: Matthew Gray Gubler, AnnaLynne McCord, Alisha Boe
Trailer-dwelling, sewage-pumping Chip may not lead the most glamorous life, but he's got one thing going for him: he's head over heels infatuated with his girlfriend Liza. He's more than willing to overlook her wild streak—the fact that she's hooking up with their landlord; her rather extreme mood swings —so when she proposes a plot to steal $68,000, he goes along with the plan. But when what was supposed to be a simple heist turns into an off-the-rails, blood-spattered crime spree, Chip learns the hard way just how deranged the love of his life really is.
Cut Shoot Kill (VOD)
Director: Michael Walker
Cast: Alexandra Socha, Alex Hurt, Phil Burke
Serena Brooks, an ambitious young actress, signs on as the star of a horror film with a crew of backwoods filmmakers that have worked together for years. When the cast starts disappearing, Serena has to become her character if she wants to survive.
The Transfiguration (VOD)
Director: Michael O'Shea
Cast: Eric Ruffin, Chloe Levine, Jelly Bean
When troubled teen Milo, who has a fascination with vampire lore, meets the equally alienated Sophie, the two form a bond that begins to blur Milo's fantasy into reality.
Annabelle: Creation (Theaters)
Director: David F. Sandberg
Cast: Stephanie Sigman, Miranda Otto, Alicia Vela-Bailey
Several years after the tragic death of their little girl, a dollmaker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, soon becoming the target of the dollmaker's possessed creation, Annabelle.
The Ice Cream Truck (VOD)
Director: Megan Freels Johnston
Cast: Deanna Russo, Emil Johnsen, John Redlinger
Mary moves back to her suburban hometown, to find that the suburbs are scarier in more ways than she ever remembered.
The Domicile (DVD & VOD)
Director: Jared Cohn
Cast: Steve Richard Harris, Demetrius Stear, Katherine Flannery
Russel Brody, a one-time successful playwright, works diligently on a follow-up play that could land him back in the spotlight he so early craves. With a baby on the way, however, and a strained marriage, stress and frustration take center stage. When his wife accidentally stumbles down the stairs and dies from her injuries, Brody's mental state goes from bad to one of utter despair.
Ghost House (VOD)
Director: Rich Ragsdale
Cast: Scout Taylor-Compton, James Landry Hébert, Mark Boone Junior
A young couple go on an adventurous vacation to Thailand only to find themselves haunted by a malevolent spirit after naively disrespecting a Ghost House.
What you shouldn't miss:
Another tough decision here because all of these films look potentially pretty good, but I'm going with 68 Kill and The Transfiguration. Here's why:
Since I've already seen 68 Kill I can confidently say that if you wan't to see a movie that's utterly ridiculous, a plot that's crazier than a shotgun-wielding AnnaLynn McCord, and over-the-top blood 'n guts thrills, then you'll probably get a kick out of this one.
There are few genres more surprising than what vampires have to offer because after all these years, we're still seeing exciting new takes on them. Michael O'Shea's The Transfiguration sounds like it's yet another vampire film to fit that mold, so I'm curious to see if this one is worthy of all the hype.
What you should take a chance on:
I can't believe I'm about to type this but the film you should take a chance on this month is Annabelle: Creation, only because early word has been surprisingly good. I guess you can only go up after that first movie, right?
David F. Sandberg, who turned in last year's disappointing Lights Out, will follow that up with the sequel to Annabelle. And while the original film was (in my opinion) the worst movie that came out that year, early word on Creation is that it's actually quite good, so it might be worth a look.
Which film are you looking forward to the most?
I'm really curious to see how The Transfiguration turns out because it sounds, if anything, pretty unique.

I saw 'Annabelle: Creation' today. I'm under embargo but I'm curious to hear your thoughts once you've seen it. Saw 'Tragedy Girls' the other day, too. I found the protagonists to be immensely unlikable, which hindered my overall enjoyment of the film — so it's a thumbs down from me!
That's totally understandable and a big reason why I thought I was going to hate the movie within the first 10 minutes of watching it, but it ultimately grew on me. I'm definitely interested to see how Annabelle turns out, but I'll wait until I see what the reviews look like first 🙂 The first movie was so, so bad.
Surprisingly, I didn't mind the first 'Annabelle,' it had its moments. Don't know why, but we're under embargo here in Australia for the second film, even though a few international reviews are already out. Bit frustrating, so I'll have to post our write-up next week!
Oh really? Embargoes are weird like that. It's really frustrating when some people just blatantly ignore them and just post them early. Definitely curious to see what you think of it. I just might have to check it out!
Seriously looking forward to 68 Kill, but it seems like a decent lot of films coming now in August, so I will keep my eyes peeled.
I refused to see Annabelle when it came, and have no desire to change this fact or watch this movie. Sandberg's Lights Out sucked so bad it does nothing to convince me to give this a shot lol.
I always admire how up to date you are on movies. I need to get more with it. By the way, did you see the trailer for Mother?
Thanks, man! I did see the trailer for Mother and holy crap does that look awesome.
It looks super intense. Which shouldn't be surprising considering who the director is.
It really does. Seems like the kind of movie that's going to have some major twist—like it's all psychological or something. We'll see!
I definitely got that vibe too. What a fine cast too.
I can't wait for my shitty movie theater to not get it! 🙂
I take it your theatre has a habit of not showing certain movies.
Yeah, it's tiny and in the middle of nowhere (closest theater is 3 hours in any direction) and they never get movies geared towards adults.
That's a shame. Maybe things will change in the future.
Can only hope 🙂
You never know what the future holds.

Eye Refraction Anomalies in Down Syndrome Families : Proceedings of the Latvian Academy of Sciences. Section B. Natural, Exact, and Applied Sciences.
The extra chromosomal material in Down syndrome patients causes a generalised disruption in the genetic balance. From this viewpoint, the non-specific developmental instability following aneuploidy might be also responsible for ocular anomalies in patients with Down syndrome. The aim of this study was to identify the eye refraction anomalies in families having individuals with Down syndrome. A total of 199 Down syndrome patients (average age 17.0 years), 85 their siblings (17.0 years) and 229 their parents (average age 48.9 years) underwent eye refraction examination. In Down syndrome patients ocular refractive findings as spherical equivalent were: emetropia 4.2±1.0%, hypermetropia 70.0±2.3%, and myopia 25.8±2.2%. Astigmatism was diagnosed in 42.8±1.5% of patients. Refraction could not be identified in 3.8±1.0% of patients. In the control group of siblings refractive findings as spherical equivalent were: emmetropia 51.2±3.8%, hypermetropia 39.4±3.7%, and myopia 9.4±2.2%. Astigmatism was diagnosed in 7.6±2.0% of siblings. In parents refractive findings as spherical equivalent were: emmetropia 42.8±2.3%, hypermetropia 40.2±2.3%, and myopia 17±1.8%. Astigmatism was diagnosed in 7.9±1.3% of parents. Refraction could not be identified in 1.1±0.5% of parents. Astigmatism, which is phylogenetically more recent, was found in Down syndrome patients 5.6 times more often than control siblings and 5.4 times more than in the parents group.

Q: How to Display XML With JavaScript I have this XML:
  <school>
   <name>Big school</name>
   <located>somewhere</located>
   <age>163</age>
   <students>53354</students>
 </school>

I want to add new element to this XML and display it in a browser. I can use DOM methods to add new element but I do not know how to display it in a browser. I found this http://www.ehow.com/how_5941838_display-xml-javascript.html but I did not make it work.
I want to see something like this in a browser:
<school>
   <name>Big school</name>
   <located>somewhere</located>
   <age>163</age>
   <students>53354</students>
   <teachers>18752</teachers>
 </school>

Can i do this in some simple way?

A: You could just wrap it in a xmp element, which will preserve the formatting and display the markup (not interpret it as HTML).
<xmp>
    <school>
        <name>Big school</name>
        <located>somewhere</located>
        <age>163</age>
        <students>53354</students>
        <teachers>18752</teachers>
    </school>
</xmp>

Note though that this tag is non standard and has been deprecated as the others noted, but it still works in all major browsers and there seems to be no decent alternative to it (without using JS or escaping the content).
