#05 | Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game
Marvel Legendary is the only game on the list of board games like Marvel Champions the Card Game because it is a deck builder. It is still cooperative, it is still a card game and it is still Marvel, but this important detail fundamentally changes gameplay which is kind of important. There are enough elements in common where if you like one, you should like the other.
Based on the expansive Marvel universe, you set up a game with players choosing a supervillain like Magneto or Loki, their deck and their superhero like Spider-Man or Wolverine. Over the course of the game, players will recruit powerful hero cards to add to their deck in order to build a stronger and more resourceful deck. Players need to build both their recruitment powers (to enlist more heroes) and their fighting ability (to combat the villains). For 1 – 5 players, games last 30 – 60 minutes.

#04 | Star Wars: The Card Game
Star Wars easily makes the list of games like Marvel Champions the Card Game and kicks off the series of Living Card Games you are about to see. Both games are based on arguably two of the best entertainment properties in existence. The gameplay is the same, the only changes are those that masterfully go along with the theme.
Star Wars: The Card Game is a card game that puts one player in command of the Rebels and one player in command of the Empire. The Balance of the Force expansion allows multi-player games. The game is set within the time-frame of the original Star Wars trilogy. Each player has a deck of objective cards representing various missions plus a deck of player cards of units (characters, vehicles, droids and creatures), events, enhancements and fates. For 2 players, games run 30 – 60 minutes.

#02 | Arkham Horror: The Card Game
Arkham Horror the Card Game makes the list of games like Marvel Champions the Card Game because it is another cooperative group special ability game attack. Since these living card games very much take on the characteristics of their themes, they are all very satisfying different, but Arkham's, strangely enough, feels one of the closest to how Marvel plays out.
You become on of the characters within the quiet New England town of Arkham. No matter what compels you, no matter what haunts you, you'll find both your strengths and weaknesses reflected in your custom deck of cards, and these cards will be your resources as you work with your friends to unravel the world's most terrifying mysteries.

#01 | The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game
After reading through this list of games like Marvel Champions the Card Game, you are probably done hearing the same things. Well this is the same situation as the three before this, Lord of the Rings The Card Game just happens to have the biggest following and satisfaction. Marvel is relatively new, however, and is gaining momentum towards being #1.
Players attempt to finish a game by completing a scenario, each with three heroes of their choice and a deck of allies, events and attachments to support them. Each round, players send their heroes and allies to quest or to fight with enemies that engage them. However, as the heroes and allies exhaust after questing, defending, or attacking, the players' options are typically insufficient to deal with everything at once. Long term strategies and working together are key. For 1 – 2 players, games last 30 – 60 minutes.

Neuropathy is a disease in which the peripheral nerves (the nerves in the body other than the spinal cord and brain) of the body are injured and not working properly. There are many different types of neuropathies and just as many different ways to categorize them, including by the type of nerve damaged, the cause(s) of the nerve damage, and the pattern of nerve damage. There are multiple diseases that could cause nerve injury and neuropathy. The peripheral nerves are a group of cells that transmit information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and the organs of the body. They also carry information back from the skin and the organs to the brain. These are the nerves that are injured.
For example when the brain wants to tell the muscle to move it sends a command to the muscle through the peripheral nerve. The nerves that are responsible for moving the muscles are called motor nerves. If they are injured, the patients develop muscle weakness. There is a second type of nerve that is called a sensory nerve. They are responsible for transmitting sensation of touch, vibration, and position to the brain. When these nerves are injured the patients develop numbness, tingling, pain, and burning. When the nerves are damage the brain loses its connection with the muscles, skin, and the other organs of the body which could develop into a neuropathy.
All the symptoms that develop are as a result of the disruption of the link between the brain and the organs of the body. There is a wide range of symptoms and disease intensity; some patients only have mild symptoms and a slowly progressing disease, others could have a very aggressive course.
Approximately 21 million Americans are affected by peripheral neuropthy. Diabetes is the leading cause of peripheral neuropathy. 30% of Neuropathies are idiopathic, meaning, without a known cause. Peripheral is a term used for the most distal nerves (farthest away from the spinal cord and brain) in our body, including those in our feet or hands.
Patients could develop severe weakness with intense burning, tingling and numbness. However there have been great advances and breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of neuropathies. Today we have treatments that were not available a short time ago, even for the most aggressive types of neuropathy. Patients with severe burning or weakness can now be helped.


The Orphanage is now run by a French charity, The Children of the Queen of Mercy Adoption Association. The children we met last year have all been adopted by French families and are now living in France. The children this year hopefully will also be adopted, although several of them are HIV and because of this will not be sent abroad.
The children are still very well looked after, but the helpers have very little time to play with them. We did try hard this year to teach the children some basic numbers in both English and Amharic.
Two of the older children about 12 years old were doing very well. The big hit with the others was colouring as always and a packet of balloons.


Officially, this was my final project , the piece de resistance of my time as Artist in Residence on Instructables.
Ladies and Gentlemen: I give you my fully articulated battle robot action figure, with dual missile launcher!
I named it "Jaeger", because I love so much the "Pacific Rim" movie.
I wanted to combine all the concepts of those awesome months. Toys, robots, missile launchers, 123D Design, 3D printing, and, curiously, reuse and recycle. Yes, recycle. Because I recycled a previous design (my Artic C.A.T. Tank), for creating a whole new project!
You will see how I transformed triggers into fingers, wheels into joints, a tank's body into a robot's body. How I applied everything I learned about 123D Design and 3D printing.
Click here to see the design on the 123D site.
I started opening the Artic C.A.T. file on 123D Design. The wheels and the launcher worked pretty well, and I solved a failure with the launcher's joint. So I will reuse those designs for the Jaeger's articulations.
I raised the tank and turned it 90 degrees, for start shaping the Jaeger's body.
Using negative extruding, I cut the useful parts (the wheels with their axis, the launcher). I took the launcher apart, and I start placing the wheels (articulations) in shoulders and crotch.
I cut the tank in half, so I could start using Mirror Pattern.
Copying the articulation from the shoulder (wheel), I made the knee and the ankle. Then I joined the wheels from the hip and the knee, using a primitive box. I used other boxes for making the leg and the feet.
I copied the launcher and I combined it with the shoulder's wheel. Then. I cut the barrel and I left the articulation. I will fix the arm to that articulation.
I copied the leg for making the arm. I just reduced the size (with "scale"), rotated the arm and removed the ankle's articulation. Then, I attached it to the shoulder's articulation.
I copied the shoulder axis and then I inserted it on the wrist area.
The hand is fully articulated. For the fingers, I used two basic parts from the launcher: the articulation and the trigger. I duplicated those parts until I formed three fingers and a thumb.
Using a primitive box, I joined the finger articulations into a single hand. Then, I attached the hand to the wrist axis.
I used for a moment the Mirror Pattern, for seeing how was the robot. Then I realized the shoulder would work better if I inverted the articulation.
For the chest, I used a hollow truncated cylinder.
For the shoulder pad, I used a half sphere.
For the hips, I copied the chest piece and reduced it. Then I modified it for a correct thigh articulation.
For the kneepad and the foot, I used again the trigger piece.
For the head, I used a modified half sphere. Then I used negatively extruded primitive boxes for making the eyes.
Time to work with the whole robot. Mirror Pattern for good!
I installed two launchers over the shoulders and some sweet battleship turrets (from the 123D Design Online Kits) on each arm.
At the end, I marked my toy in one of the soles.
I used the Objet Connex 500 for printing.
First, I printed a prototype on VeroClear, on scale 0.5 from the original size. The material allowed me to see where still remained support material after cleaning and how well worked the articulations. The prototype didn't survive the cleaning process on the water stream. But I learned I needed to strengthen the hips articulations and modify the fingers. Besides, Veroclear is a very breakable material in that scale.
Then, I printed a second Jaeger on VeroWhite, on scale 0.8. It works much better and survived the cleaning! It was the prototype I showed on my Final Luncheon. Problems: It's too heavy, the articulations are very loose (you can make an awesome marionette), and VeroWhite is still very breakable. I armed the launchers on the same way of the Artic C.A.T., using springs and bolts. I made some missiles with an option I discovered on the Objet Studio: layers of VeroWhite with air!
At the end, I found the best 3D printing was with ABS, starting from a 0.6 scale.
Hi, I would love to print your design but the link isn't working. Could you please send me the files or provide another link? Thanks!
do u have to make it step by step or does anyone have the file? I want it soo bad!
I am dying to try print in veroclear!! it looks so elegant and pretty!! that translucency!!
Thanks mchau2! Well, the problem with veroclear is its fragility, so be careful, or you will have a lot of jaeger pieces everywhere!
thx for the tips! hope i will be selected as an intern and apply your tips!
Oh i was on that skywalk while i was visitin!!, wanna be there again so bad!!
wow, how are you doing now? may i also ask about the number of interns in pier 9? i know there is a big competition, i just wanna get a rough idea!
Amazing! very creative! your other projects are also great!
Thank you so much, Burhan!
The design is only meant to be printed in one piece from a high-end printer, correct? No hope of assembling it from individual prints off a DIY printer without massive redesign? What if you break something?
Pooo! i was hoping you were going to say the Cubify!
makes sense! thanks...and great work!
Sorry if the question has been answered elsewhere - what printer did you use?

Cambridge Architectural began with an architect's vision – an insight that perceived woven wire mesh as a unique and beautiful alternative to traditional designs. In 1958, Cambridge International produced a woven metal mesh to clad elevator interiors in the world-renowned Seagram Building in New York City. That first installation has lasted over 60 years, retaining its pristine look and condition.
In the years that followed, a partnership formed between architects and Cambridge, which realized the possibilities for architectural mesh were endless. By working with architects all over the world and being open to new and adventurous designs, the Cambridge team began developing a new vision to integrate woven metal mesh into the built environment.
The Architectural division was launched in 2002 as a natural off-shoot of the century-old woven metal mesh and belting manufacturer Cambridge International. With a foundation in quality American craftsmanship, the architectural division was able to flourish by offering tensile systems never before seen in the architectural design community.
Building on the visions of the architects, Cambridge architectural mesh systems adorn some impressive structures erected during the past decade including resorts, hospitals, theaters, and museums. Cambridge systems are American-made and manufactured by skilled craftsmen on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
As the benefits of working with metal mesh became apparent, so did the ease and simplicity of working with a full-service manufacturer and provider. When you work with Cambridge Architectural, our knowledgeable team walks you through the design process, step-by-step, bringing the architect's concept into reality. From the grand design to the smallest detail, Cambridge ensures assistance every step of the way.
Specializing in both interior and exterior applications, Cambridge Architectural is truly open to your ideas. The possibilities for design and function are boundless, limited only by the stretch of the imagination.

La chiesa di San Paolo di Barete è un edificio religioso dell'Aquila, situato nel quarto di San Pietro.

Deve la sua realizzazione agli abitanti del castello di Barete, che contribuirono così alla fondazione della città nel XIII secolo. Fu radicalmente ricostruita successivamente al terremoto dell'Aquila del 1703, in seguito al quale fu modificato l'impianto originale mediante anche l'inversione della facciata.

Storia
L'edificazione di una chiesa ad opera dei castellani di Barete è attestata sin dai primissimi anni successivi alla fondazione dell'Aquila, poiché già nel 1257 è documentata l'esistenza di un arciprete baretano residente in città.

Nella sua prima fase costruttiva, l'edificio era orientato in maniera opposta all'attuale, con la facciata principale rivolta a meridione verso via Barete; questa conformazione riflette una maggiore importanza sostenuta in origine dall'asse di via Forcella e via Barete rispetto a quello attuale di via Roma. L'originaria facciata era evidenziata da una piazza con fontana — consueto topos dell'architettura religiosa aquilana — chiusa in basso dalla chiesa dei Santi Cosma e Damiano nel locale di Cagnano Amiterno, oggi scomparsa.

San Paolo rimase danneggiata dai terremoti del 1349 e, soprattutto, del 1461, in seguito al quale l'edificio fu largamente rimaneggiato seppur mantenendo l'impianto originario, come documentato dall'Antinori. Nel XVI secolo la chiesa venne abbellita con un tabernacolo e tre dipinti ad opera di Tobia Cecchini.

L'edificio fu completamente ricostruito in seguito al terremoto dell'Aquila del 1703, probabilmente perché crollato a causa del sisma. Della struttura precedente sopravvisse solamente il transetto, all'interno del quale si innestò un nuovo vano a pianta centrale con accesso da via Roma. La ricostruzione si distinse in due fasi, la prima delle quali si concluse nel 1736 — quando venne installato il portale d'ingresso proveniente da Casa Quinzi e donato da Luigi Eustachio — mentre la successiva si sviluppò sul finire del XVIII secolo.

Subì nuovi danni con il terremoto del 2009, con crolli localizzati soprattutto nella parte dell'abside. I lavori di recupero dell'edificio si sono conclusi nel 2017.

Descrizione
La chiesa è posta lungo via Roma, il principale decumano cittadino, all'interno del locale di Barete; è situata a poca distanza dalle mura dell'Aquila e, in particolare, dai resti di Porta Barete, che in origine costituiva il più importante degli accessi alla città.

L'edificio è probabilmente quello di minor prestigio del nucleo amiternino, riflettendo — a livello architettonico, artistico e storico — un ruolo marginale del castello di Barete rispetto a quelli di Amiterno e Coppito, rispettivamente rappresentati dalle chiese di San Biagio e San Pietro.

Esterno
La facciata si presenta nel consueto «apparecchio aquilano», portato a vista nella porzione inferiore. Su di essa si apre un unico portale sormontato dai resti di un cornicione a tutto sesto, probabilmente l'antica finestra del transetto. È infatti da rimarcare che l'odierna facciata di San Paolo costituiva la parte terminale della chiesa duecentesca, sporgente rispetto al piedicroce ad aula unica, secondo un impianto similare a quello delle chiese di San Nicola d'Anza, San Pietro a Coppito e Santa Giusta di Bazzano.

Il portale, dalle fattezze rinascimentali, con frontone rialzato, è invece l'unico elemento superstite della Casa Quinzi, anch'essa distrutta dal sisma del 1703; nel 1736 venne installato in San Paolo per volontà di Luigi Eustachio, che lo donò alla parrocchia.

Altri deboli resti dell'edificio precedente alla ricostruzione settecentesca sono visibili nelle murature della facciata occidentale, tra via Roma e via Castiglione: si notano, tra le altre cose, un architrave di un portale preesistente ed una finestra ogivale.

Interno
L'impianto di San Paolo, nato in seguito al terremoto dell'Aquila del 1703, è decisamente inusuale nell'ambito dell'architettura religiosa aquilana; si tratta di una pianta a croce greca, tipologia che non trova modelli similari tra gli altri edifici cittadini. La perfetta simmetria è compromessa dal solo vano aggiunto dell'abside, concepito come la prosecuzione del braccio che fronteggia l'ingresso. La croce è evidenziata da massicce paraste d'ordine corinzio che sorreggono la trabeazione e la sovrastante calotta, in corrispondenza del vano centrale, forse in sostituzione di una cupola prevista ma mai realizzata; i bracci, completati in un secondo momento, presentano una volta a botte.

Q: Auto refresh template using emberjs I am new in emberjs and having trouble auto refreshing a template. The main idea consists of a SPA where the user can check the minutes left for the product he has already purchased to arrive home. So that if he stays on the tracking template it should reload every 5 or 10 seconds updating the time info:

Clearly this code is not working, can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

A: Remove onload from template and insert your code in coontroller. For example:
App.PedidoController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
  init: function() {
    var self = this;
    setInterval(function() {
      self.refreshMyData()
    }, 5000);
  },
  refreshMyData: function() {
    foo();
    bar();
  }
});

A: You need to stay within the Ember system for things to work nicely. You should be able to work it out by looking at this quick example. Let me know if you need more :)

Good luck!

Shohei Imamura (Tokyo, 1926) has been one of the major directors of the Japanese nouvelle vague, movement that interested those talented filmmakers who stood out from the big currents of local cinema, during the sixties, proposing an author cinema.
He began his career during the fifties as the assistant of Yasujiro Ozu in three of his movies. In 1958 Imamura realized his first three works as a director in which there's an evident interest for the social survey and for the real characters and situations of everyday life with a realistic perspective. For this reason, his work is so near to the documentary approach to reality and in his case, to the situation of Japan during a period of social and urban changes.
In the eighties, he founded his own studio, the Imamura productions and realized "The Ballad of Narayama" (1983), the movie that won the Golden Palm at Cannes Festival and gave him an international reputation.
After a period dedicated to the television production, he produced the film "Dr. Akagi"(1997) that won another Golden Palm.

Q: Don't want to download all objects I'm having a hard time understanding how I should structure my iOS app with regards to how Firebase works. I've got a few thousand users with my current implementation (not using firebase currently), but using .childAdded will give me all of the items in my db (of course to start with) but I'm trying to build something with .childAdded that allows me to say download the first 20 items, then as they scroll the tableview it downloads the next 20 items. My users post a lot of photos and their feed would be blown up with the amount of posts that .childAdded returns.
Thoughts on what to do?

A: This may help you better understand how to convert Firebase Queries into equivalent SQL Queries.
https://firebase.googleblog.com/2013/10/queries-part-1-common-sql-queries.html#paginate
// fetch page 2 of messages
new Firebase("https://examples-sql-queries.firebaseio.com/messages")
.startAt(2) // assumes the priority is the page number
.endAt(2)
.once('value', function(snap) {
   console.log('messages in range', snap.val());
});

A: Here you can see the documentation that Explains Queries
You can go to the part that says limitToFirst.
For Example this says to limit to last 10:
var rootRef = firebase.database.ref();
var usersRef = rootRef.child("users");
var usersQuery = usersRef.limitToLast(10);

usersQuery.isEqual(usersRef);  // false
usersQuery.isEqual(usersRef.limitToLast(10));  // true
usersQuery.isEqual(rootRef.limitToLast(10));  // false
usersQuery.isEqual(usersRef.orderByKey().limitToLast(10));  // false


Bed bugs, once nearly eradicated as a common pest in the United States, are reappearing in record numbers across the country and around the world, everywhere people live and work.

I recently bought a few records that are very staticky and a anti-static brush doesn't seem to help. What is a good way to get rid of the pops and crackles without breaking the bank or ruining the record?
Zerostat is the only way I've found. But you'll need to pay $80-100.
I've heard of that. Does it work really well? I figured going into the record hobby would be expensive, sounds like I'll have to get one of those. Saw one at Amazon for $72. Do I need the anti-static sleeves too?
Yes, it works perfectly. Well worth it. I have tried other things and this is the best.
Anti-static sleeves don't work. I get non-paper sleeves to avoid damage to the LP, but otherwise just make sure the record isn't charged with static when you store it away.

Francis Brown Douglas FRSE DL (2 April 1814-8 August 1885) was a Scottish advocate who served as the Lord Provost of Edinburgh from 1859 to 1862.

Life

He was born in Largs in Ayrshire on 2 April 1814, the son of Archibald Douglas (1779-1833), also an advocate, and Jane Brown of Bellair on the island of St. Vincent. He attended the High School of Edinburgh and then Edinburgh Academy (1824-5). He then studied law at the University of Edinburgh.

Following the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, Francis received a considerable sum in compensation for his father's loss (his father being deceased) of 245 slaves on the Sans Souci Estate on St Vincent. This sum, probably received around 1845, totalled £6,418.

In 1839 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh his proposer was John Shank More.  In 1843 he left the established Church of Scotland to join the Free Church of Scotland. He was an elder at Pilrig Free Church under the Rev William Garden Blaikie.

On 7 August 1860 he oversaw, as Lord Provost of Edinburgh, the Great Review for Queen Victoria and the Royal Family, which involved over 20,000 persons.

His home for most of his life was 21 Moray Place in the fashionable West End.

He died at Melville House in Fife on 8 August 1885. He is buried in Dean Cemetery in the west of Edinburgh. The grave lies on the western wall at the southern end of Lord's Row.

Family
He was brother to Dr Archibald Douglas and cousin to Dr A. Halliday Douglas.

He was married twice: firstly in 1845 to Mary Turner Christie at Scoonie in Fife; secondly in 1852 to the wealthy Marianne Leslie-Melville (1827-1899), by whom he had nine children.

His eldest son, Francis Archibald Brown Douglas (b.1854) was also an advocate after studying law at the University of Cambridge,

His second son was Charles Christie Brown Douglas (b.1857).

Thanks for your kind words about my job aid examples, Cathy.
People sometimes think of job aids as nice-to-haves, like cloth napkins or good choices in a snack machine. Software vendors will assure you, "We've got lots of user guides." Then you discover that the "how to sign on" guide is fifteen pages long and written as if the reader has never seen a computer.
When you focus on what people need to do, you can then ask whether they need to memorize X in order to get [whatever] done. "Memorize" is a good word here–much drearier and more obvious than "learn." Nobody needs to memorize the steps for installing WordPress.
Wow, that's a good point! I'm going to experiment with changing "learn" to "memorize" when trying to make a case for focusing on what people need to do.
Thank you for this. This is something I'll use.
Software training is tough. Many people we've consulted show me slide decks with 150 slides that go over the history of Salesforce, why Salesforce was purchased, etc. And many job aids I review are super long and have lots of background/caveats. Getting it right is a fine balance.
Thank you Cathy! You always have creative and fun ways to look at everything!
Helpful tips and inspiration as always.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with this as a valid goal: Sales to new customers will increase 5% by [date] as all sales reps correctly use NewCRM to identify new prospects and build relationships with them.
Essentially, you're saying 'Sales to new customers will increase 5% by [date]' – that's what you're measuring.
So the idea is: We had this intervention/training | Sales to new customers increased by 5% | Therefore the increase was due to the intervention/training. Unfortunately, correlation doesn't mean causality.
We had this intervention/training | Sales to new customers DECREASED by 5% | Therefore the decrease was due to the training.
In order to show causality, there needs to be a direct link between the result and the cause.
In the scenario new leads were slipping through – the way this was measured would be a more accurate place to start IMHO.
So perhaps that's one reason stakeholders might refuse to commit to this type of business-performance goal.
I appreciate it's an imaginary situation, and that you state 'a measure you already use', but if it isn't a real measure/indicator, then any results are likely to be misleading.
Andy, the point of the training is to get the sales people to use the new CRM to do X. The result of them doing X is, HOPEFULLY, an increase in sales. No one assumes that these changes to business performance happen in a perfect vacuum.
As I explain in my book, it's common for people to say that the goal will "contribute to" an increase in whatever. I also explain that it can help to have additional "closer" measures such as the number of new leads slipping through.
However, for L&D to be able to justify their existence, they do need to at least attempt to connect what they do to the success of the business.
Cathy, if 'the point of the training is to get the sales people to use the new CRM to do X', that is what you are trying to achieve, and that is your objective – what you can measure. An outcome from that might, or might not, be an increase in sales, but it's not measurable. As I mentioned above – correlation does not mean causality.
The additional measures you mention are what I would call objectives – which are measurable. The objectives feed into the goal.
If the software is designed for business processes, such as Salesforce Automation, Support, HR processes, Project Management, etc. the software should be configured to enforce the process and then training should address both the use and new process, helping the users understand how the new software supports the new processes that will help them and their organization with their work.
There can be a lot of resistance to new software. And for business process software, often, if everyone is not on the same page about how and WHY to use it, you won't get user adoption, and it won't matter how great the new application is, the business reason for the new software won't be realized.
Done correctly, roll-out software training is part of a Change Management strategy that inherently deals with the emotional component of having to learn something new. And, the facilitator should always have the "Parking Lot" for questions that can't be answered in class and suggestions for improvement to the software or configuration.
This is a great post, Cathy. I've had many variations of this conversation in the last few years and this article will help me make this conversations more meaningful.
WHEN should we train? Before the software is implemented? How long before? After when they used it for a bit?
Ely, you might check part two: https://blog.cathy-moore.com/2018/03/how-to-design-software-training-part-2-practice-activities/. It describes practice activities and ways to support people in their use of the software. It's best to provide these when the software is available and people are using it as part of their job.


I had given supreme power of imagining my country for the coming years in my dreams.
And I didn't hesitate to quote my thoughts for it.
People are missing Simple logic. People got reservations earlier because of their financial and social standards of living was well below the poverty line when compared to a common person. People get benefited. Now it's time to stop it. Stopping reservations? Seriously?
Me : why do you want to stop reservation ?
iVoice : I don't want reservation to be stopped completely. Suppose a poor backward caste student was unable to cope up with the so called rich general student, let him take reservation so that he will be equal to compete for the jobs available.

Haha first debuted in 2001 as a member of the hip hop group Jikiri. Later, Haha was recognised for his immitation of Kim Jong-kook on the popular variety show X-Man. He was a regular on this series until the show ended in early 2007.
Haha is currently engaged to former weather woman Ahn Haekyung and is known for his close friendship with rapper MC Mong. The both of them used to goof around a lot in the old days when they were starting off. Once MC Mong and Haha were on Ya shim man man together and they shared about how they used to share a motel room while traveling on gigs out of town. They had no managers, no make-up artists and it would be just the both of them.
Haha is now a celebrity in his own right and currently hosts KBS's popular Music Bank and is one of the four MCs on MBC's Infinity Challenge (Muhan Dojeon) along with MC Yoo Jae Seok, Park Myung Soo, No Hong chul, Jung Hyung Don and Jung Joon Ha.

Thanks anonymous. I've corrected the entry.
the post has some wrong details. First of all, the show Infinity Challenge is from MBC . 🙂 and Lee Hyuk Jae is not one of the hosts in MooHanDoJun(Infinity Challenge). He is there currently with MC Yoo Jae Seok, Park Myung Soo, No Hong chul, Jung Hyung Don, Jung Joon Ha. 🙂
I always thought Ha-Ha is absolutely hilarious! His imitation of Kim Jong Kook is to the tee and the thick-faced moniker serves him right… Thanks for this post~

Cardinal-elect was a Francis bishop before Francis
by Tom Roberts
Crosier presented 1 crop.jpg
In this May 2017 photo, Deacon Nate Bacon, left, presents the gift of a crosier to Bishop Alvaro Ramazzini, right, of Huehuetenango, Guatemala. (Photo courtesy of Poor Clare Monastery of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Huehuetenango)
As the calendar turned to September, Pope Francis, relatively quiet and out of the limelight during the heart of the summer, resurfaced with big news — the appointment of 13 new cardinals, choices that make clear he intends to use that papal prerogative to reshape the hierarchical culture at that elite level.
Check out Vatican Correspondent Joshua McElwee's report on the appointments for more detail.
One of the choices that leapt off the list to my attention was Archbishop Matteo Zuppi of Bologna, who wrote a forward to Jesuit Fr. James Martin's book, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity. It is likely that such an endorsement (and far less) would have been an episcopal career stopper not long ago.
But the name that really jumped out at me was Bishop Alvaro Ramazzini of Huehuetenango, with whom I spent a day during a reporting trip to Guatemala in 2013. Western Guatemala, with all of its stunning natural beauty, is not a normal stop on an upwardly mobile career in the church. It is easy to say — and I have said it — that Ramazzini was a Francis bishop before Francis came along. In a sense, that's true. But he was appointed a bishop of the Diocese of San Marcos, near Guatemala's western border with Mexico, in 1988 by Pope John Paul II. In 2012, he was transferred to become bishop of Huehuetenango by Pope Benedict XVI. So quite literally he was a John Paul II and Benedict XVI bishop long before the Francis papacy. It is dangerous, I know, to try to draw too many straight lines in this sprawling, and often unpredictable, church.
Ramazzini, who went a somewhat traditional route, earning a doctorate in canon law from the Gregorianum in Rome, and serving as rector of the major seminary in Guatemala, was apparently deeply affected by his ministry amid the poor and indigenous populations far from the urban reality of Guatemala City, where he grew up.
He became a public advocate for justice, particularly among the country's indigenous population. That population, especially in the area of Huehuetenango, had been marginalized, tortured and targeted for killing in massive numbers during the short regime of Efraín Ríos Montt in the early 1980s.
Ramazzini took on foreign mining concerns for destroying water supplies, and the day I spent with him, traveled two hours to a neighboring diocese to be part of a panel during a public meeting regarding a case brought by indigenous people against the police, who had shot and killed six and injured 40 during a protest of utility rate increases. Ramazzini himself has survived several death threats apparently linked to his opposition to mining and huge hydro-electric projects and for his advocacy of human rights.
I was introduced to Ramazzini by a long-time friend, Dennis Smith, a Presbyterian lay missioner, who has several times helped me as an interpreter and analyst since my first visit to Guatemala in November of 1981. He knew the bishop through ecumenical activities in Guatemala, where Smith lived for decades.
You can read the full account of my time with Ramazzini here. In the context of the recent appointment, however, a few things he said remain remarkably relevant. Of his more than a quarter of a century as a bishop at that time, he said: "All of these years have been an experience of learning, gathering additional knowledge, of dialogue, because for me an important part of being a bishop is knowing how to listen, to pay attention to what people are saying. … I think a bishop truly needs to be an expert at listening."
One error of the church, he said, was "to come with the presumption that we have the truth and that the only truth is the truth of the Catholic Church. Because sometimes that's not even the truth of the Gospel; it's the truth of the church. It's the truth of the institutional church."
He regrets the fading of indigenous symbols, practice and language that have for centuries been integral to life in the area of Guatemala where he has long served as bishop. He said he would like to see Mayans pass on "their way of understanding their relationship with God," adding that he has discovered in indigenous communities "a vital, existential religious experience that helps them to understand that the divine is present in every moment of their lives."
This, I surmise, is a canonist who's had the sharp edges of the law rubbed smooth by experience. Two Augustinian priests were resident at St. Michael Archangel parish where the public meeting was held, so I was at first disbelieving when they said the parish had 100,000 members in 53 distinct communities served by 3,000 lay ministers. I look at Ramazzini as if to say, "Am I hearing correctly?" He confirmed the numbers and said that in his diocese, more than 10,000 lay ministers worked in parishes.
It wasn't the first time that I wondered if those in the developing world – that ecclesiology that's never had "enough" priests by standards of the Northeast and Upper Midwest in the United States – is actually providing the model for the future. We're seeing the development of a college of cardinals from Haiti, Indonesia, throughout Africa, now from rural Guatemala, individuals who may have made a stop in Rome along the way but whose vision of church and understanding of pastoral needs were not formed in the prim environments of Paris or Dublin or Boston.
Long-time friend Paul Jeffrey, a United Methodist minister and accomplished journalist whose reporting has graced these pages for years, has an illuminating Ramazzini story that he said I could pass along.
He recalled in a recent Facebook posting:
I got to know Ramazzini when I lived in Central America, particularly when I lived in Guatemala. … He became my go to guy for insight into political struggles in the region, and whether I called him on the phone late at night or knocked uninvited on the door of his simple house in San Marcos, he always greeted me warmly and responded patiently to my questions. His insights were critically important for Recovering Memory, the book I wrote on the role of the church in the Guatemalan peace process. …
Yet what first comes to my mind about Ramazzini is a chance encounter with him on a mountain road in Guatemala, long before I sought him out as a journalist. I was driving west into the highlands from Guatemala City with Nate Zook Barge, the country director of the Mennonite Central Committee. On a steep curvy section of road, the pickup truck in front of us, its back filled with people, failed to negotiate a turn and sailed off a cliff. We immediately stopped and along with other people who stopped began climbing down to the crash site, rendering first aid, and pulling some of the survivors back up to the highway.
I clearly remember one man whose leg had been smashed and was bleeding badly. We got him up to the road, and I stopped a west-bound pickup and begged them to take the guy to a hospital down the hill in Solola. The driver agreed to do it, and we loaded the guy in. The bleeding was so severe that I had placed a tourniquet on his thigh, and I instructed the driver to hurry, and to tell the hospital staff where we had applied the tourniquet. I told the driver to get going, but he sat there looking at me. I said to go, but he insisted I come along. "If I show up with this guy at the hospital, the police will arrest me," he said. "But because you're a foreigner, if you come along nothing will happen."
I didn't want to go back to Solola. It was out of the way, and I wanted to get home to Xela, where I lived. So I hemmed and hawed. At that point a man I didn't know, one of the people who had stopped and helped render first aid, heard the conversation. He asked what was going on, and then quickly responded that he would go. He was also headed west, but he jumped in his jeep and turned it around, and followed the pickup truck down the hill to Solola.
After we did what we could at the crash site, Nate and I continued our journey west. As we recounted what had happened, I mentioned the guy, who wore a black shirt — a clergy shirt without the white collar tab. "That was Bishop Ramazzini," said Nate, who had been in the country for a few years. "He's the bishop of San Marcos."

Once Again, Babe Ruth Dominates Yankee Stadium
02 Jul 2019 / 0 Comment
Leading the sale and setting a record not only for a baseball jersey but for any piece of sports memorabilia offered at auction anywhere, was Ruth's 1928–30 jersey that an anonymous phone bidder won at $5,640,000. The auction house did not disclose its estimate prior to the sale.
Review and Onsite Photos by Madelia Hickman Ring, Catalog Photos Courtesy Hunt Auctions
BRONX, N.Y. – There could have been no more fitting location for Hunt Auctions to sell the Ruth family collection of Babe Ruth memorabilia than Yankee Stadium, and while it was not in the original "house that Ruth built," collectors around the world turned out on June 15, online, on the phone and in person, to see Ruth step up to the plate one last time.
The house published a lavishly illustrated catalog with extensively researched catalog essays that was titled "The Babe Ruth Collection at Public Auction." It was, however, a surprise to this reporter to discover that, in fact, more than half of the sale – and many of the higher estimated items – had been consigned by various other sellers. The collection of nearly 200 lots from the Ruth family had remained largely unknown to the general public and included hundreds of pieces relating to the life and career of arguably the most iconic player in the history of the game.
The combination of provenance and "market freshness" proved irresistible to collectors, and the Ruth family collection outperformed the averages for the rest of the sale. Whereas lots consigned by other sellers was only 83 percent sold by lot and only 67 percent achieved prices within or above estimate, the Ruth family collection was 98 percent sold by lot and 91 percent of the lots sold within or above estimate.
All of the bidding action on the record-setting jersey took place on the phones.
Hunt Auctions did not issue either a post-sale press release or statement from the Ruth family, but after the sale, David Hunt, Hunt Auctions' president told Antiques and The Arts Weekly by email that the Ruth family was "very happy." When asked if institutions participated in the sale, Hunt said "institutional bidding did occur," but he was not able to disclose which institutions or on which lots they had bid.
Leading the sale – and generating the most presale buzz -was a professional road model jersey that Ruth wore between 1928 and 1930, which had been consigned by an unidentified seller. There was speculation before the sale that the jersey might break the previous record for a piece of sports memorabilia – also for a Babe Ruth jersey – set in 2012 at $4.4 million. The estimate for the jersey was not disclosed prior to sale, the catalog saying, "Estimate upon request;" also conspicuously absent was any mention of the provenance of the jersey in the extensive catalog essay.
When the jersey came up, Scott Foster, who was auctioneering the sale and who called the jersey the "pinnacle of his career," opened the bidding at $2.5 million. Many in the room held up phones to record the historic moment but, in the end, all of the action took place off the field, with competition between two phone bidders and an absentee bidder. Dave Hunt, standing next to the podium and possibly bidding on behalf of an absentee bidder, declared himself out at $4 million. Shortly thereafter, Foster sold the jersey to an anonymous phone bidder for $4.7 million ($5,640,000 with buyer's premium).
The other marquee lot, which Hunt said would have been the star lot "in any other sale," was a baseball bat used by Ruth from 1928 to 1929, which he had made eight notches in for his home runs. The bat – consigned by an unidentified seller – carried a hefty estimate ($750,000-$1.5 million) and if it had sold for the high estimate would have set a new record for a baseball bat. Unfortunately, it failed to meet reserve and was passed at $650,000. The most expensive price paid for a bat in the sale was $144,000, for a Louisville Slugger 125 bat used by Ruth at the height of his career and surviving in exceptional condition.
The highest price achieved for an item from the Ruth family collection — and the second highest price fetched in the sale — was $480,000 paid for this photograph of Lou Gehrig with a personal inscription to Ruth. It had been estimated at $100/150,000 and sold to a phone bidder.
Ruth's personal 1932 New York Yankees presentation photo album that featured a complete set of signed player photographs was sold in separate lots, with the top price going for Lou Gehrig's photo, which was inscribed by Gehrig to Ruth ($100/200,000). The auction catalog described the photo as possibly "the finest non-game-used Lou Gehrig signature item extant;" it received so much interest that bidding opened at $120,000 and ultimately sold to a phone bidder for $480,000, more than quadrupling the estimate.
Items that commemorated milestone moments in Ruth's career saw considerable interest, as demonstrated as the $96,000 paid for Ruth's final career contract, which he signed with the Boston Braves in 1935 ($75/125,000) and a sepia tone photograph recording Ruth's 60th home run during the 1927 season also made $96,000 ($50/100,000).
A late addition to the sale was Ruth's "Most Popular Baseball Idol" trophy, which was presented to Ruth at Fenway Park on September 24, 1929. Despite some damage to the figural finial, which the Ruth family attested had occurred when Ruth threw it in anger upon hearing of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the trophy brought $156,000. A 1923 World Series champions presentation trophy that had not been in the Ruth family also brought a noteworthy price of $120,000, within estimate ($100/200,000).
While most of the material not from the Ruth family was sold by largely unidentified items, the sale featured a small group of material consigned by Mickey Mantle's sons. The 18 lots from the Mantle family included letters, Mantle's baseman's mitt, two rings and Mantle's 511th home run baseball. Leading the group was Mantle's 1966-68 autographed baseman's mitt, which achieved $120,000 against an estimate of $100/200,000.
A disappointment was Mantle's 1955 New York Yankees American League Championship ring, which had been estimated at $200/300,000 but failed to find a buyer and was passed before it reached $100,000. Selling for near its high estimate was Mantle's 1978 World Series championship ring, which made $48,000 ($30/50,000). In this sale, the Mantle name proved no match for that of Ruth, with 33 percent of items from his collection failing to find buyers and of the items that sold, all but three sold within presale expectations.
Hunt Auctions is at 256 Welsh Pool Road in Exton, Penn. For additional information, www.huntauctions.com or 610-524-0822.
A sepia photograph signed by all the members of the 1927 New York Yankees World Series championship team considerably outperformed expectations ($25/50,000) when it sold for $72,000.

Breadth First Search (also known as BFS) is a search method used to broaden all the nodes of a particular graph. It accomplishes this task by searching every single solution in order to examine and expand these nodes (or a combination of sequences therein). As such, a BFS does not use a heuristic algorithm (or an algorithm that searches for a solution through multiple scenarios). After all the nodes are obtained, they are added to a queue known as the First In, First Out queue. Those nodes that have not been explored are 'stored' in a container marked 'open'; once explored they are transported to a container marked 'closed'.
Depth First Search (also known as DFS) is a search method that burrows deeper into a child node of a search until a goal is reached (or until there is a node without any other permutations or 'children'). After one goal is found, the search backtracks to a previous node that has gone with a solution, repeating the process until all the nodes have been successfully searched. As such, nodes continue to be put aside for further exploration – this is called non-recursive implementation.
The features of the BFS are space and time complexity, completeness, proof of completeness, and optimality. Space complexity refers to the proportion of the number of nodes at the deepest level of a search. Time complexity refers to the actual amount of 'time' used for considering every path a node will take in a search. Completeness is, essentially, a search that finds a solution in a graph regardless of what kind of graph it is. The proof of the completeness is the shallowest level at which a goal is found in a node at a definite depth. Finally, optimality refers to a BFS that is not weighted – that is a graph used for unit-step cost.
A DFS is the most natural output using a spanning tree – which is a tree made up of all vertices and some edges in an undirected graph. In this formation, the graph is divided into three classes: Forward edges, pointing from a node to a child node; back edges, pointing from a node to an earlier node; and cross edges, which do not do either one of these.
1. A BFS searches every single solution in a graph to expand its nodes; a DFS burrows deep within a child node until a goal is reached.
2. The features of a BFS are space and time complexity, completeness, proof of completeness, and optimality; the most natural output for a DFS is a spanning tree with three classes: forward edges, back edges, and cross edges.

Romance and drama - the Queen's Court and the Queen's ladies
Location: Online event
Cost: £5
During the English Civil War, the court of Charles the first moved to Oxford, along with his army. His Queen Henrietta Maria joined him there, bringing with her all her court ladies, some of whom were young girls who had been sent to court to find suitable husbands. Two of them – Margaret Lucas and Ann Harrison – became enmeshed in thrilling romances in the heart of the unreal pasteboard court in exile. Surrounded by siege lines, living in an army garrison town, they retained their courage and nerve, on the Queen's stage and off it. Learn about their runaway romances.

Library of you
This talk is the first in a series promoting the 'Library of you' fundraising campaign in the run up to the new Museum of Oxford opening.
Every year the Museum of Oxford works with older people in the city at events, at care homes and in hospitals to discuss and share their stories of the city.
The process of reminiscence has been proven to help connect people, reduce symptoms of depression, promote physical health, reduce stress and enhance self-esteem.
Their stories are in danger of being lost forever making this work key to the preservation of Oxford's history. Give today to help continue this work with Oxford's older people.
Every person has their own story. By donating to the 'Library of you', you can create your own story title to go on one of the book spines and ensure that we can continue to work with Oxford residents and share their stories.
More information about the 'Library of you' coming soon.
Olive Gibbs, local politician and peace campaigner with Liz Woolley
Date: 17th February 2021
Olive Gibbs was born in the 'tough but full-blooded' parish of St Thomas's in West Oxford in 1918. She went on to become a redoubtable local Labour politician, peace campaigner, and founding member of CND. During her long political career she helped to stop the building of an inner relief road through Christ Church Meadow, prevented the mass clearance of housing in Jericho and was instrumental in the demolition of the infamous Cutteslowe Walls. She protested against the Spanish Civil War with Denis Healey and later led anti-nuclear marches with Marc Bolan, Joan Baez and Donovan. In this talk we will learn more about Olive's extraordinary life and legacy.

Beer, sausages and marmalade - Oxford food and drink in the 19th century with Liz Woolley
Date: 22nd April 2021
In the nineteenth century Oxford became well-known for its 'Celebrated Oxford Sausages' and for Frank Cooper's 'Oxford Marmalade'. The popularity of these delicacies went hand-in-hand with the city's growing importance as a tourist destination. Meanwhile large numbers of citizens were involved in brewing, baking and the grocery trade, and the families which controlled these businesses had a powerful influence over Oxford's economic, social and political life. This talk examines the fascinating relationship between food production, tourism and politics in the city.

Lewis Carroll and the Pre-Raphaelites with Mark Davies
Date: 4th May 2021
There are many Oxford associations with the artists known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, notably John Millais, William Holman Hunt, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. A key figure was Thomas Combe, Superintendent of Oxford University Press, who was an early patron, and who also hosted introductions at his Jericho home which had a significant influence on the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The talk features PRB artwork; the iconic 'Alice' illustrations of John Tenniel; Lewis Carroll's quirky originals; his exceptional photographic portraits of Combe, the Pre-Raphaelites, and other key contemporaries; and the 'drawling-master' John Ruskin.
Mark Davies is an Oxford local historian, author, public speaker, guide, and publisher specialising in the history of non-University Oxford, with a particular focus on the city's waterways. Most of Mark's early life was spent by the sea – in Hampshire, Sussex, Kent, and South Wales – but his interest in inland rather than coastal waters grew as a result of a chance decision to live on a canalboat in central Oxford in 1992, after living in Abingdon for a couple of years.
