Nitish under pressure in NDA, should return to Grand Alliance: Congress

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease 8 wells of a standard-size muffin tin with nonstick cooking oil spray.
Place the tuna in a medium mixing bowl; use a fork to break up pieces any larger than a dime. Add the cheese, crème fraîche, tomato paste, eggs, onion, parsley, and salt, stirring to thoroughly combine. The mixture will be a soft orange-pink color.
Divide the mixture evenly among the 8 muffin wells. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops and edges of the bouchons are set.
Transfer the tin to a rack, and let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully run a small, thin knife around the edge of each bouchon to make sure it isn't stuck, then carefully remove them from the tin. They will collapse a bit as they cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

LPC's current strategic plan was released in August of 2018 and covers 2018 through 2023. It focuses on three key goals:
Goal 1: Promulgate best practices in library publishing
Goal 2: Strengthen the community of library publishers
Goal 3: Act as a focal point and a force multiplier for library publishing
Read the Plan (PDF)
The Library Publishing Coalition is a member of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), and is an active participant in its Library Publishing Special Interest Group.
LPC is a founding member of the Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Communications (C4DISC).
Between January 2013 and December 2014, 61 academic libraries, in collaboration with the Educopia Institute, founded the Library Publishing Coalition (LPC). The project emerged from conversations between Purdue University, the University of North Texas, and Virginia Tech regarding the need for a community dedicated to advancing the field of library publishing.
Academic libraries and the researchers and organizations they support are facing a new paradigm in scholarly publishing. The web, information and social media technologies, and the open source and open access movements are changing the framework in which scholarship is created, collected, organized, and disseminated. Yet, as shown by the highly regarded Strategies for Success project (funded by IMLS and led by Purdue University, the University of Utah, and Georgia Tech), library-based publishing groups lack a central space where they can meet, work together, share information, and confront common issues.
The Strategies for Success project laid a strong foundation for further action. Prompted by the results of this project, Educopia hosted a conversation in May 2012 among three library deans who shared an interest in advancing the emerging field of library publishing: James Mullins (Purdue University), Martin Halbert (University of North Texas), and Tyler Walters (Virginia Tech). As an outcome of that conversation, in June 2012, Charles Watkinson (Purdue University), Katherine Skinner (Educopia Institute), and Julie Speer (Virginia Tech), drafted a proposal for a new, community-driven organization dedicated to library publishing. The vision outlined in that proposal was vetted by representatives from 18 major libraries and consortia in July 2012 before being released to prospective participants in August 2012. More than 50 academic libraries formally joined the project team before the project kicked off in January 2013.
Over the next eighteen months, participants worked to produce the LPC's first deliverables, including the Library Publishing Directory and the inaugural Library Publishing Forum. At the request of the community, on July 1, 2014 the LPC formally launched as an ongoing membership organization, six months ahead of schedule.

Anjalaforbundet blev stiftet på godset Anjala den 12. august 1788 og var en sammensværgelse af finske og svenske adelige officerer rettet mod den svenske konge Gustav 3. under Den russisk-svenske krig (1788–1790). Den russiske herskerinde Katharina den Store afviste kredsens fredsforslag, og det lykkedes den svenske konge at kvæle sammensværgelsen, men flere af de såkaldte Anjalamænd fik indflydelse på udviklingen i den finske del af riget under Finske krig (1808–1809).

Progressives found new reason for dismay on Tuesday after internal documents revealed efforts by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to squash support for Medicare for All and a separate attempt to curtail demands for stricter gun control following the mass shooting in Las Vegas last year.
"It's becoming evident that the DCCC—and the billionaire donors and revolving door consultants that make up the Democratic Party establishment—believe Democrats can only take back Congress by running on a watered down message...instead of the basic values of decency and fairness that voters demand," said Waleed Shahid of Justice Democrats in a statement.
Documents on healthcare messaging that were handed out to House Democrats in the wake of the 2016 election treated universal healthcare as a fringe issue, suggesting that lawmakers are not to entertain Medicare for All as a potential solution to the nation's high healthcare costs and poor outcomes.
"The American people overwhelmingly want Congress to improve the Affordable Care Act, not repeal it or replace it with something radically different," reads the memo. "We need to offer reasonable solutions to improve the law instead of a massive overhaul."
In fact, a Harvard-Harris poll taken in September found that 52 percent of Americans backed a Medicare for All or single-payer healthcare system. Among Democrats, however, that number is much higher, with 69 percent in favor.
The messaging memo also included Republican talking points attacking a single-payer system like the Medicare for All plan proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), without providing any rebuttals to the claims.

Thank you for your suggestion. We were unable to make contact with the community member who originally submitted this idea. But I do agree that it does contradict several other ideas that have also received positive votes, and should therefore be closed.
Alternatively, would you have a suggestion for a clause that could be put forward based on the original idea posted by The_Real_Karry (that also does not contradict other ideas)?
Please do use the comments below to offer suggestions on specific wording and to guide us on which suggestions should take priority (by voting comments up/down).

Hearing on Garn's appeal for new trial concludes
The hearing of former Mansfield police Officer Mike Garn concluded Friday. Garn is seeking a new trial after his 2016 conviction.

MANSFIELD - A former Richland County first assistant prosecutor found himself on the defensive Friday.
Cliff Murphy was one of four witnesses on the final day of Mike Garn's motion to vacate his 2016 conviction.
Murphy, who now works as a Licking County assistant prosecutor, was the lead counsel for the state in Garn's trial.
Attorney Allison Hibbard contends the defense did not receive all the state's evidence that was favorable to Garn during the discovery process.
A letter to the FBI was one piece of information the defense wanted. The letter was a request to interview an FBI agent.
Who wrote the letter came up again Friday. Former Prosecutor Bambi Couch Page said in Thursday testimony that she did not think she wrote it.
"I don't know what the writer's intentions were," she said. "I don't have any recollection of this letter."
After Couch Page testified, the two sides agreed over lunch hour Thursday about the letter's origins.
Hibbard told Murphy of the stipulation.
"In all likelihood, Bambi Couch Page did draft this letter," she told Murphy.
"I would doubt that," Murphy replied.
Hibbard continued.
"The stipulation is this came from an R-Drive that only she or her assistant had access to," Hibbard said. "The assistant had not seen it."
Murphy was not convinced.
"I politely disagree," he said.
He went over several reasons why he didn't think Couch Page wrote the letter. There were typos and two question marks for someone's name. Also, the letter was not on office letterhead.
Murphy called the letter a "work in progress."
The back-and-forth between Murphy and Hibbard got heated. Prosecutor Gary Bishop objected, telling Common Pleas Judge Brent Robinson their exchange was "nothing but arguing."
When he first took the stand, Murphy talked about the discovery process, where attorneys exchange evidence. He said Richland County practiced open discovery.
"I would err on the side of giving you everything," Murphy said.
Hibbard asked him about a memo by Mansfield police Lt. Joe Petrycki that concerned two county jail inmates who said they overheard one of Garn's victims saying she made up the allegations.
"I don't believe that I've seen it before," Murphy said.
Petrycki said he followed chain of command by putting the memo in Capt. Bret Snavely's in-basket. Snavely said he didn't recall seeing the memo.
Murphy said he interviewed the victims in the case and found them credible. He said some of them were "scared to death" about possible reprisals from Garn.
Loretta Chinn was one of the jail inmates who said she overheard one of Garn's victims.
"She was lying about what happened, and I told her she should be honest," Chinn said.
Hibbard asked Chinn why she chose to testify.
"Because it's the right thing to do," she said. "It's his life. I took a day off to be here."
On cross-examination by Bishop, Chinn said she also received a subpoena to appear.
"I don't have any reason (to lie)," she said. "I don't know this man."
Garn's attorney had trouble reaching the final witness of the day, city police Officer Terry Rogers.
Rogers, walking with a pronounced limp because of a torn hamstring, is on medical leave.
He was in the jail and spoke to the inmates who said one of Garn's victims was lying. Rogers said he did not do a report.
"I got names, and that was it," he said, adding he told the inmates to contact Petrycki.
Rogers described himself as a friend of Garn's, saying he has visited him in jail and prison.
"I stayed away from the case where Mike's a friend and let the chips fall where they may," he said.
Robinson told attorneys to file their closing arguments in writing by May 16. He will issue his ruling in writing.
Former Mansfield police Officer Mike Garn, 44, was convicted in April 2016 and sentenced to 12½ years in prison after a jury convicted him on 25 or 34 counts, including one count of sexual battery and 10 counts of dereliction of duty.
Garn was convicted of destroying drug evidence or not submitting it to the crime lab in exchange for sexual favors. He also looked up LEADS information for reasons not related to law enforcement.
He is an inmate at Allen Correctional Institution in Lima and is scheduled to be released in October 2028.

The fifth edition of International Young Chef Olympiad (YCO) will be held across 4 cities — Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru and Kolkata with participation from 55 countries. In Pune, it will be held at International Institute of Hotel Management Campus, Viman Nagar.
The Olympiad is a five day long competition where students from some of the world's best culinary and hospitality institutions will fight for the coveted YCO 2019 winner's trophy, a cash prize of USD 10,000 and an acknowledgement of their skills from industry stalwarts. The event is being organised by the International Institute of Hotel Management (IIHM) in partnership with the International Hospitality Council (IHC), London and it is supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India.
Talking to chef Avijit Ghosh and Gary Hunter who will be judging the competition, we find more about YCO and the trends prevailing this year.
Ghosh says that for him, it is all about simple but good and tasty food. "It's okay if too many elements are not added to the dish, but what I am keen on is the flavour, creativity and vision that comes out of a dish," he explains.
Both the chefs believe that social media has embraced the food industry and has opened up new avenues that need to be explored. "People are aware of everything that is happening everywhere because of social media and they are not afraid to try out new dishes that are trending in some other corner of the world, which creates new trends," says Ghosh.
He says that this changing nature of trends becomes challenging for chefs as they have to quickly learn and unlearn but nevertheless it is fun. Hunter adds that social media gives chefs a new way of exploring this medium to reach out to potential customers, guests, partners and friends on a global basis. "It is fantastic to have the opportunity of exploring trends and concepts with friends and colleagues in Japan from my base in London, in real time, using images, videos and live feeds via social media platforms," he says.
Talking about the trends in the food industry, Ghosh says that since he has been in the baking industry for a long time now, he has seen a lot of changes. "One such change is gastronomy getting into the kitchens. Though it is loved by a lot of people, it is not my personal favourite. It is way too complex, especially when clubbed with bakery and includes a lot of artificial flavours whereas I have always loved working with fresh and real ingredients. For me, the simple tasting food is more delicious than that made with complex techniques," he observes.
Amateur chefs or even home cooks are being boosted and inspired by a lot of television shows and competitions that are being held all over the world. Hunter says it is because the world's population has become more open and curious about food. Ghosh feels that such shows and competitions have opened up new opportunities for amateur cooks so that they to can try their hands at global cuisine.
Both Ghosh and Hunter think that a platform like YCO not only gives the participants an opportunity to showcase their food and learn from the experts in the industry but also gives the industry a great insight on how the future generation sees and treats food.

Vegetable Bibimbap Fill 1 Created with Sketch.
Bibimbap is a popular Korean dish whose name arose from the Korean word for "mixed rice." This delicious and nutritious meal traditionally consists of white rice topped with sautéed and seasonal vegetables, a fried egg, hot chili, sesame oil, and oftentimes sliced meat. These ingredients are then all mixed thoroughly before eaten. Bibimbap is also wonderfully versatile, as it can be served either hot or cold.
In a medium pot, combine the rice with 2 cups of water and a big pinch of salt. Heat to boiling on high, then cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer 15 to 17 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the rice cooks, prepare your ingredients. Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus, then cut the spears into 2-inch lengths on an angle. Remove and thinly slice the thick chard stems. Stack and roll up the chard leaves then cut them crosswise to roughly chop. Remove the shiitake mushroom stems and thinly slice the caps. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Crack the eggs into 2 separate small bowls or cups. Thinly slice the scallions lengthwise and put the slices in a bowl of cold water. Peel the carrot and cut it into matchsticks.
While the rice continues to cook, cook the vegetables. Heat a little oil on medium until hot. Add the chard, asparagus, and garlic, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp, and the chard has wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate.
In the same pan, heat a little more oil on medium. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook 1 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Transfer the cooked mushrooms to the plate with the chard and asparagus, keeping them separate.
In the same pan, heat a little more oil on medium-high. Add the cooked rice to the pan and cook about 1 to 2 minutes, or until dry and slightly golden, stirring. Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, and chili flakes to taste. (If you like it spicy, add all the chili flakes, add less if you prefer mild heat.) Cook about 1 minute longer, stirring. Transfer the rice to 2 bowls.
In the same pan, heat a little more oil on low. Carefully add the eggs to the pan, one at a time, keeping them separate. Season them with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs (sunny side up), 3 to 5 minutes, or until the whites are set and no longer translucent. Top each bowl of rice with the cooked chard, asparagus, mushrooms, carrots, and a cooked egg. Garnish each with the scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!


When you are experiencing pressure or spiritual warfare, one thing above all others can be your source of comfort and strength—and it is also your most powerful weapon. That is, the Presence of God.
As Joshua stood on the verge of the Promised Land, the most important thing he needed to know was that God was with Him and God was for him.
Joshua jealously prized the precious anointing of the Spirit that was on Moses' life (Num 11:24-29).
During all of these decades of wilderness living, Joshua lived in the vicinity of the Presence of God, but it was Moses alone, who had the face to face relationship with Him.
Finally, as Joshua faces Jericho, the greatest test of his generalship, he has his own face to face encounter with God.
God has given to you mighty weapons of warfare—including the Name of Jesus, the Bible, the 'rhema' word of His prophetic intention for a situation, and praise.
However, the most powerful weapon in your Heavenly arsenal, is the Presence of God Himself, within and upon you.
We see the centrality of God's manifest Presence in the Ark of God, carried by the Levites into the Promised Land.
What was the difference between Joshua's army, and that of Jericho, and all the giants that were in the land? God's very Presence was with them.
They were hosting the Presence of God.
God's Presence is with you!
The battle of Jericho was won because of Joshua's intimate relationship with God. The battle was won, because God's manifest Presence was engaged in the warfare.
When God's Presence is with you, no enemy can stop you. Nothing and no one can hinder you from entering into God's promises for your life.
The key to your breakthrough is not a method, it is your relationship with God.
The key to winning the battle you face, is not your own strength, it is the power of God's Presence upon you. It is the Holy Spirit within you.
Praise and worship celebrates and honours God's Presence in the midst of conflict. This is one reason why worship and praise is powerful in times of spiritual warfare.
God is with you in the midst of the battle! He is pouring out a fresh anointing.
When your confidence is in the Presence of God, His Presence is what you are responding to, not the circumstance.
You are watching to see what He is doing, sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
You are waging spiritual warfare from an attitude of rest.
You do not have to strive, because His Presence is taking care of the situation. You are proactive in obedience to what God is saying.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Instead, you shall rise, victorious, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to enter into God's promises for your life.
 In the Old Testament, various encounters with the Angel of the Lord were what is known as a theophany, God appearing in human form to visit directly with His people, and possibly a pre-Incarnate appearance of Jesus Himself.
Has God's Presence made a difference to you during times of pressure and spiritual warfare? I would love to hear about it in the blog comments section, or on Facebook or Instagram. If the blog comments box is not visible, click on this link and scroll down.
I want to feel God's manifest presence than ever before; I have prayed about it but it seems I am not receiving answers. what do I do?
I pray that you will experience God's touch on your life.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit does cause us to hunger and thirst for Him, in order to seek and go on a journey with Him. Perhaps on God's agenda at this time, it is more important that you grow in your faith (what you can't see or feel) and to trust Him and thank Him for what is yours in reality even when it does not seem to be felt. In your pursuit of Him is the greater blessing.
I LOVE THIS ARTICLE , I AM HUNGRY OF GOD PRESENCE. GOD BLESS THE WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE.

John Mearsheimer: Israel's Real Purpose In Its Atrocities in Gaza (tags)
John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, co-author of the paper (available online) and subsequent book (with Stephen Walt) _The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy_, presents a concise timeline description and absolutely the clearest account of the true reason behind Israel's wanton atrocities in Gaza. Mearsheimer argues that diminishing Hamas or stopping their rockets are subsidiary goals for Israel, to Israel's more central goal of controlling all of historical Palestine via an "Iron Wall" policy that would permanently subjugate the Palestinian people and ensure Israeli control of all Palestinian land, air, water, borders/sea, and economy. Mearsheimer points out that this goal cannot be achieved, and certainly not by the brutal method of a total war on the Palestinian people. The likely outcome even in the case of relative Israeli success is a permanent Apartheid, which itself will [thankfully] doom Israel as a chauvinistically and exclusionary "Jewish State"[and its racist state ideology of Zionism].

Reasonable people here in the U.S. appreciate, and also assume, that our culture's news industry of executives, editors and journalists be held to high standards of professional conduct.

To refocus the question of media fraud to one of whether journalists ought to be certified, or accredited by some kind of professional board, in order to be recognized as "professional" journalists, is, to say the least, shortsighted.

THE LEFT AND THE ISRAEL LOBBY – by Joseph Anderson, Dissident Voice (tags)
Now that Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer have broken the taboo in the mainstream American media establishment of not only pointing out that the Israel lobby exists, but actually analyzing it from their perspective, the only place that open discussion, analysis and debate about the lobby remain firmly taboo is, ironically, ON THE LEFT! It's a taboo imposed on the left by certain leftist icons and their suppression – if not censorship – of free expression and debate on this topic in progressive venues (lectures, panels, press or broadcast). Even some Palestinian-Americans have been forced to knuckle under to these leftist icons' denial of the power of the Israel lobby in exchange for those icons' or certain progressive/leftist groups' political support. For example, as of this writing, where is an informed rebuttal to Noam Chomsky's dismissive position on the Lobby or at least an honest, open debate about the lobby on the national radio program Democracy Now? So, I wanted to incisively debunk at least some of the major arguments used by certain Left icons in denying the power and influence of the Israel lobby in U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and in suppressing discussion of its power domestically. Now, some people will bring up a red herring list of other possible influences in U.S. Mideast foreign policy to deny my analysis, but here I am dealing with THE ISRAEL LOBBY and how leftist icons respond to that topic. My ultimate position is: whatever our positions on the lobby, do we get to honestly discuss and debate it in formal public settings? Please read more:

And, in my case, being pro-Israel. I'm looking forward to hearing from all you [name-calling] *NUTJOBS* again.

Harsh penalty for error-prone McLaren - reaction
The penalty might be harsh, but the loss of Lewis Hamilton's pole in Spain is just the latest calamitous mistake by McLaren. That was the tone of the paddock's reaction to the news late on Saturday ...
The penalty might be harsh, but the loss of Lewis Hamilton's pole in Spain is just the latest calamitous mistake by McLaren.
That was the tone of the paddock's reaction to the news late on Saturday that a McLaren gaffe saw the FIA send Hamilton from first to last on the Spanish grand prix grid.
The Sun newspaper called it a draconian "24-place grid penalty" imposed by the FIA after an "astonishing cock-up" by McLaren.
Hamilton was told on the radio to pull over after his pole lap due to a "technical problem".
Sporting director Sam Michael argued 'force majeure', but the stewards ruled that it had been entirely McLaren's fault that not enough fuel was put into Hamilton's car to ensure a scrutineering fuel sample.
Writing in the Telegraph, Tom Cary said the severity of the disqualification "raised eyebrows", but agreed that "McLaren's mistake was horrendous".
He said it has been "a season of errors" by the famous British team, who are yet to get Hamilton's signature on a new contract beyond 2012.
"Hamilton must be seething," read an article in the Daily Mail newspaper, while The Times laid out McLaren's "catalogue of errors".
27-year-old Hamilton's "raw talent is being thwarted by mishap and cock-up," said journalist Kevin Eason.
"McLaren are lovely people but how the hell do they get themselves in this position?" wrote the Mirror's Byron Young on Twitter.
Even the non-English language media agreed.
"It was another great mistake by McLaren that could eventually cost Hamilton the championship," wrote Livio Oricchio in O Estado de S.Paulo.
Italy's La Stampa called McLaren's fuel gaffe a case of "harakiri".
Germany's Auto Motor und Sport added: "It was error number 13 for McLaren since last year".
While highly critical of McLaren's own-goal, however, the feeling in the paddock is that the stewards' penalty - although accepted by McLaren - was overly harsh.
"Back of the grid? Way, way too harsh", said the Mirror's Young on Twitter.
"Draconian penalty in my view," agreed PA Sport's Ian Parkes. "Dropping Q3 time would have sufficed."
Sky commentator Martin Brundle added: "(I) feel they should have deleted that (Q3) laptime only which would have put him sixth".
And excluding Hamilton from Q3 altogether would have put him 11th. Now, he will be "lucky to score a point", Auto Motor und Sport predicted.
In the Independent, however, David Tremayne noted: "Welcome to the draconian world of F1."
David Croft, the lead Sky commentator, said the FIA stewards had acted correctly.
"A good rule should be one that covers all eventualities with a penalty that acts as a deterrent which in this case is what happened.
"Too little fuel can't be tolerated," he added. "It seems harsh but had Lewis taken pole by one thousandth of a second, would it be harsh then?"
The Spanish fans - not Hamilton's biggest supporters dating back to his spats with Fernando Alonso in 2007 - were happy.
Asked on the El Mundo website whether the penalty was fair, 76 per cent answered yes.

The very decent gent…the one and only Mr Tristan Hall, famed of Hall or Nothing Production's Gloom of Kilforth and 1066 does BSoMT the greatest of honours by being the first guest contributor to A Guest Knows Best
The Rise and Rise of Solo Gaming
(Tristan Hall)
If you were to think of 'someone who plays board games alone' – what image comes into your mind? Be honest, is it Comic Store Guy from The Simpsons? A socially challenged loner geek who struggles with human interaction? Maybe you're right. But you're probably wrong. The truth is that more and more people are being drawn towards solo board gaming, and the reasons for this are myriad and interesting.
It's strange to think that video games were once merely the province of marginalised geeks. Especially now that franchises like Call of Duty have proven they can draw in many more millions of dollars than Hollywood tentpole movies. And often, multi-million dollar video game blockbusters (e.g. most of the Final Fantasy series) only offer a single player mode. So why shouldn't popular board games offer follow suit?
As people with disposable incomes in general look for more varied and interesting pastimes to while away their free time, we have seen a huge rise in board game sales. Indeed, there are many articles detailing the recent volcanic growth of board gaming, and you only have to witness the footfall here at the UK Games Expo to see that in action. Some say it is a new Golden Age for the industry. Be it clever 'Euro' game designs with slick mechanics and exquisitely agonising decisions to make, or thematic board games showcasing beautiful art and bucketloads of plastic miniatures, an abundant array of titles ever expanding with each passing year means we are becoming more and more spoilt for choice in our gaming options.
Creativity and innovation in design are rife as each new game stands on the gigantic shoulders of its predecessors, whether it's delivering new mechanisms for play (like Dominion's introduction of deck-building within the gameplay itself), continually tweaking an idea or two to improve something where possible here (e.g. the Marvel Legendary games' slight but significant transformation into the more focussed Legendary Encounters series), overhauling a game system to streamline it there (see any of Fantasy Flight's 'second edition' – or third edition – games like Talisman, Runebound, or Descent), or even reimagining a previous title entirely and delivering a completely fresh vision of that game (such as Pandemic Legacy, where player decisions might mean the actual destruction of game components).
Whilst often looked down upon by gamers – due to the wealthy choice of interesting alternatives – mainstream family games remain evergreen as the umpteenth version of Monopoly with a new Intellectual Property splashed across it continues to grace store shelves, and even Risk had its overhaul into Risk Legacy, stepping into a unique and interesting direction entirely and bringing it back to the attention of more 'hardcore' gamers. And gamers' demands for increasingly unique and interesting offerings continue to grow, with previously super niche thematic games like Kingdom Death: Monster pulling in over 12 million dollars on Kickstarter.
Whilst Kingdom Death blew minds, wallets and Kickstarter records, a point of note is that it is a game that can be, and often is, played cooperatively, and thus solo. Ten years ago, cooperative board games where you play with your friends or by yourself against the game were few and far between. There are wargames and fringe titles that have been around for decades sporting solitaire play options, and people have almost certainly played both sides of games like Chess to improve their technique for hundreds of years. But whilst over the years pioneering titles from the likes of Chainsaw Warrior (1987), Warhammer Quest (1995), and Lord of the Rings (2000), to Arkham Horror (2005), right through to Forbidden Island (2010) and Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island (2012) all have supported cooperative and/or solitaire play, it is now pretty indisputable that cooperative games are cemented into the popular gaming zeitgeist. In fact, boardgamegeek.com, which boasts 3.3 million unique monthly visitors currently ranks its number one game of all time as voted for by its users as the cooperative – and thus soloable – Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 (2015).
Cooperative games are great for gathering together and playing as a team with friends and/or family against a mathematical or thematic objective and solving puzzles together. But what draws people to play these games alone? A cross-section of soloist enthusiasts had the following to say:
Logistics: "We work a lot. We work weird hours and weird shifts. We move around a lot. Life is less consistent, so our gaming time and gaming circles become less consistent. Solo gaming fills those gaps nicely." – Jason Perez
Creativity: "For many people, gaming is a social experience. For me, it is a chance to be creative alone. I play games to tell stories" – Amy (Other Amy)
Preparation: "To learn the game. I don't like to present a game to anyone without having a good understanding of it first." – Brian Hunt
Immersion: "I find it a lot easier to immerse myself into the theme or story when alone. There are no distractions or side conversations." – Shaun Austin
The challenge: "The kids are all married but I want to play solo games because I love more brain challenging games that take more time than anybody else would want to play." – Kevin Erskine
Screen-burn: "Sometimes, it's simply a way to force myself away from the screen. Staring at a computer screen all the time is probably doing irreparable damage to my eyes. Solo board games are a way around this." – Joke Meister
And on the subject of screens, video bloggers who focus particularly on solo gaming command a formidable presence on YouTube, with personalities like JPlay (3,006 subscribers, 505,272 views ), callasmar (5,424 subscribers, 979,918 views) Ricky Royal (15,330 subscribers, 3,622,304 views) and marcowargamer (12,879 subscribers, 3,955,074 views) all lending their expertise to the cause by showcasing solo games and how-to-play guides for said games.
There are reddit and facebook groups dedicated to solo gaming with thousands of members, and on the aforementioned boardgamegeek site there thrives a community called the 1 Player Guild (or 1PG). Devoted to podcasting about and discussing solitaire gaming this group encourages and champions a number of activities such as: competing online by beating one another's scores at certain games, developing new methods and rules to play existing games solitaire that aren't originally designed that way, sharing amusing stories and narrative session reports of game plays, and taking an annual vote on the People's Choice of Top 100 solo games of the year. The latter draws in hundreds of voters and thousands of votes, often climaxing in the collective opening of many wallets to chase the next new shiny game!
From its foundation in 2012 there were 12 members, at the time of writing 6,415 individuals from around the world now make up the 1PG. The guild's founder, Albert Hernandez, talks candidly about its growth:
"The guild was always open to anybody that is interested in solo games… I never expected it to be quite so big. One thing that makes the guild so popular is how friendly it is. Folks always comment on that. Nobody needs to look for permission or approval to do something that is helpful. I think that has really helped the guild grow. There is no way one person would have come up with all the great ideas that have come out of the guild."
There has been a surge of interest in solitaire rules for games recently, particularly in line with the continued growth of crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter where gamers can help to guide the decisions of game creators to include extra elements they might not have previously considered, such as solo rules. More and more often, solo rules are being offered with new games, sometimes just as a stretch goal. But canny designers such as the legendary Jamey Stegmaier have jumped ahead of the curve on this, going as far as enlisting game designer Morten Monrad Pedersen with the express purpose of designing solitaire rules for his games. This resulted in Pedersen's hugely enjoyable automa series that emulate an 'AI' player in games such as Viticulture, Between Two Cities, and of course, the hugely successful Scythe. In his own words:
"The increased buzz from solo gamers makes other gamers give it a shot and makes publishers see there's a big market they've overlooked, which in turn creates more solo gaming buzz. Solo gaming gave me a chance to go back to doing game design for my own enjoyment and bumping into Jamey Stegmaier by chance let me ride his on his coat tails and on solo gaming's wave of popularity, so that I now have a job in the board game business."
Pedersen also compiled some interesting data on the growth of soloist games in this chart:
If you're a designer or publisher developing a board game you could do worse than paying attention to some of the most influential developers on Kickstarter and reading Stegmaier and Pedersen's various blogs on the importance of acknowledging the solo gamer base; or you could simply take another look at those mind-shattering numbers that Adam Poots generated with his monstrous Kingdom Death: Monster Kickstarter.
So whether it's to learn the rules to a game you're introducing to your friends, getting away from screens for a bit to challenge your mental agility, to immerse yourself in a thematic, narrative experience, or just because you blooming love it, solo gaming can be a thrilling and fulfilling experience. And now with friendly online forums and resources at your fingertips, even though you are playing solitaire, you don't have to game alone!

Learn how to wear silver pants. Includes: Outfit ideas, styling tips, and how to wear silver metallic pants for day and night.
Metallic denim has been around for a few seasons now, but this winter, the trend has been livened up with new shapes and colors. In addition to the typical silver, gold, and copper, metallic overlays have been added to colors like cobalt, purple, and dark green. Retailers have also branched out from basic jeans, and are now carrying metallic trousers, harem pants, leggings, and joggers.
The key to styling metallic pants for class is to style them as you would any other neutral pair of pants or jeans. The pants are the focus of this outfit, and because they're so shiny, also act as the biggest accessory. Because of this, keep everything else very subdued, and pair them with a oversized black open knit sweater, as well as a matching scarf and riding boots.
A knitted beanie keeps things comfy and cool, while a tote holds everything you need for class. Keep the accessories simple and sleek with several dainty silver cuffs, then add some color to the look with turquoise nails and a mauve-colored lip. You'll be rocking the metallic pant trend appropriately for class, and not looking like you're about to go clubbing!
This pair of silver pants features a higher waist, so pair them with a boxy white crop top for a night out. The boxiness and raw edges of this casual crop top give a cool contrast to the luxe pair of pants. Bring in pops of cobalt blue to add some color to this outfit. These cobalt blue pumps look great with the ankle length of these pants.
I am just obsessed with the fabulous necklace in this outfit. The cobalt, black, and silver matches the look perfectly, while the spikes lend some glamour and edge. What a way to make a statement! Carry all of your nighttime essentials in this rockin' round snakeskin cross-body bag. Finish this ensemble off with a bold cat eye and a dark red matte lip.
Would you wear metallic pants? To class? On a night out with friends? How would you style these metallic pants? Let me know what you think of the outfits in the comments, and let me know what other pieces you'd like to see featured on Class to Night Out!

Polymyalgia Rheumatica or PMR is a rheumatic condition which attacks twice as many females as males aged 55 and over. The average age of onset is round about 70 years.
It affects 1 in 2000 people. It can start slowly with flu like symptoms and it can start so suddenly that one morning you find you cannot get out of bed because you are so stiff and sore.
Diagnosis is difficult because other conditions, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, have similar symptoms. The Doctor makes his diagnosis on the basis of a blood test and other factors. Early morning stiffness which eases as the day progresses is a significant factor along with severe pain in the shoulders, thighs and pelvic area. There is no known cause, no known cure and very little research is being done.
The most common treatment is initially a fairly high dose of Prednisolone, a steroid, which is reduced as quickly as possible because of the danger of osteoporosis if taken over long periods of time, along with treatment to avoid osteoporosis. The steroid treatment usually reduces the pain and stiffness quite quickly and often miraculously. What it is not so good at is alleviating the unreasonable fatigue and pain that continues for some people. In the case of most people the condition burns itself out after 2 - 2½ years. It can recur.
Written in Layman's terms by a Patient to help you understand GCA/TA. It has been checked by a medically qualified person to make sure it is factual within the current knowledge and understanding of GCA/TA.
It is hoped that with Research, the cause and a cure can be found in the future.
Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA/TA) and whom does it affect?
Giant cell arteritis is a condition which causes inflammation on the inside of some arteries (blood vessels). It is called 'giant cell' because abnormal large cells develop in the wall of the inflamed arteries. The arteries commonly affected are those around the head and neck area. The artery most commonly affected is the temporal artery. (You have a temporal artery on each side of the head). They are under the skin to the sides of the forehead - the temple area.) Therefore, the condition is sometimes called 'temporal arteritis'. If left untreated it can cause serious sight loss.
Giant Cell Arteritis is sometimes related to other problems. Most commonly polymyalgia rheumatica, (PMR) a condition which causes pain in the shoulders and hip joints. People with PMR can sometimes develop Giant Cell Arteritis. However, Giant Cell Arteritis can occur on its own without any other medical conditions.
Symptoms or How do I know that I have Giant Cell Arteritis?
The main early symptoms of giant cell arteritis are headache and tenderness over the sides of the forehead. People with giant cell arteritis need urgent treatment with steroids. Early treatment will usually prevent serious complications such as eye problems and blindness.
A Headache is the common symptom. This may develop suddenly, or it can come on gradually over several days or weeks. The headache can be one sided, or on both sides, mainly towards the front and sides of the head.
Sometimes the temporal artery swells and can be seen around your eye, this too is tender to touch. Tenderness of the scalp over the temporal arteries is common. You may be able to feel one or both of the inflamed arteries under the skin.
Other symptoms may occur and include: pain in the jaw or tongue, particularly when you chew or talk Often people are able to chew for a while but eventually the pain, becomes so bad they have to stop. If this happens you should be seek medical attention at either your GP or hospital as soon as possible.
Problems with vision such as blurred vision or sudden loss of vision for a short time. These occur if the arteries going to these parts of the body are inflamed, become narrowed, and reduce the blood supply to these areas.
There are other symptoms such as fever, weight loss and generally feeling unwell.
If giant cell arteritis is suspected, treatment is usually started straight away. The main aim is to reduce the risk of possible complications. The second aim is to relieve the headache and any other symptoms. A steroid medicine such as prednisolone is the usual treatment. Steroids work by reducing inflammation. After starting treatment, symptoms usually ease quickly, within a few days.
A high dose of steroid is started at first, usually about 40-60 mg per day. This is then reduced gradually to a lower 'maintenance' dose. It may take several months to gradually reduce the dose. The maintenance dose needed to keep symptoms away and prevents complications varies from person to person. Usually it is around 1mg per day and a slow reduction programme will be worked out.
In some people the condition goes away after 2-3 years, so the tablets may be able to be stopped after 2-3 years. This should always be done under supervision of a doctor. However, many people need treatment for several years, sometimes for life.
Tests - Do I need any tests?
The ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and CRP (C reactive protein) blood tests are non-specific markers of inflammation. One or both of these markers is usually raised in GCA but in rare cases both can be normal. These blood tests can also be raised in other diseases and so a diagnosis of GCA cannot be based solely on a high ESR and/ or CRP - there must be other symptoms or signs of the disease or other abnormal test results to make a diagnosis of GCA.
To confirm the diagnosis a doctor may take a small part of the temporal artery (a biopsy) to look at under a microscope. If you have giant cell arteritis a doctor can see the inflammation and abnormal giant cells in the sample of the artery wall. As well as taking a history from you about how the condition is affecting you, the doctor may well perform a number of other tests.
You should also be referred to the hospital ophthalmologist. And, if not it is a good idea to visit an optician to obtain a 'base line' of the state of your eyes for future use.
What are the possible complications of giant cell arteritis/temporal arteritis?
Complications are much less likely to occur if treatment is started soon after symptoms begin.
Possible complications of untreated giant cell arteritis include the following:.
Vision Loss (blindness either temporary or permanent. The temporal artery provides blood to the optic nerve. These are the small arteries going to the eye. If this happens then the optic nerve is starved of blood and that artery becomes blocked it can cause permanent serious problems, even blindness.
Note: Arteries are blood vessels which take fresh blood to all the parts of the body. With Giant Cell Arteritis the medium-sized blood vessels become swollen. The most common artery to swell is the temporal artery.
Make sure you understand that if any new visual disturbance occurs you must seek urgent medical advice if your GP is not available go to the nearest accident and emergency admission hospital and explain the situation.
Luckily Giant Cell Arteritis can be treated but there is currently no cure!
If you go to your GP with a new headache in the front part of your head along with some of the other symptoms mentioned, they may well send you to the hospital. A Rheumatologist or Ophthalmologist (eye specialist) can then confirm a diagnosis and prescribe a course of treatment that should prevent sight loss.
Giant Cell Arteritis caught early it can be treated with steroid tablets. Steroids help to reduce swelling, this mean that the swelling in the arteries can be reduced. The blood can then flow freely to the optic nerve again. This prevents the loss of vision.
Steroid treatment is started at a high dose and is reviewed closely. Over a period of time, sometimes a long period, the dose of the steroids can be reduced so that eventually you can stop taking them or control the disease on a very low dose.
Prednisolone is the most commonly used co-costeroid. These are known as 'steroids'.
This type of steroid is not the same as 'anabolic steroids' which are used in a completely different way.
There are also other medications, such as Methotextrate, but as steroids have been used since about 1949 and the side effects are well documented, at present Prednisolone is the preferred initial treatment.
Your symptoms of giant cell arteritis (GCA/TA ) should be eased with steroids!.
The plan will be to slowly reduce the dose to the lowest that keeps symptoms away. However, if you have a relapse, the dose will be increased.
Do not stop taking steroid tablets suddenly and always carry a Blue Steroid Card or wear a Medi Tag (either a bracelet or necklace).
Remember to tell any Medical Person who does not know you that you are on Steroids, the current dosage and for how long. It probably does no harm if you forget to take the odd tablet. However, once your body is used to steroids, if you stop the tablets suddenly you may get serious withdrawal effects within a few days.
Try to ensure that your steroids are 'enteric coated. This reduces the risk of developing ulcers. Unfortunately 1mg steroids are not currently 'enteric coated. Discuss with your Doctor to see is a gastro inhibitor is necessary.
If buying 'over the counter medications', always check with the Pharmacist/ Chemist that they are compatible with Prednisolone. This also applies to alternative medication.
Keep the leaflet issued with your prescription and read it occasionally to refresh your memory.
Osteoporosis ('thinning of the bones') measures can be taken to protect against this if you have a high risk, bone protection tablets, DEXA scans, particularly necessary if you have had the menopause and/or are over 60. Your Doctor will advise.
Increased chance of infections; in particular, you should see a doctor urgently if you come into contact with chickenpox or shingles and you have not had chickenpox in the past.
Increased blood pressure, have it checked regularly!
High blood sugar, which may mean extra treatment if you have diabetes.
Although the above points have to be mentioned, do not be put off about steroids. The relief of symptoms, and the prevention of serious complications, usually outweighs the risk of side-effects from the doses of steroids used for this condition.
Why Does Giant Cell Arteritis lead to blindness?
Giant Cell Arteritis is a condition that can seriously affect vision!
Sometimes if the symptoms of Giant Cell Arteritis are missed then people can suddenly lose sight in one eye. If this happens most people go straight to casualty since it is obvious that something is wrong. There they will see an ophthalmologist who will prescribed high dose of steroids usually intravenously (through a drip) this means you have to stay in hospital.
The high dose steroids are an attempt to bring down the swelling in the hope that re-establishing the blood supply quickly can bring sight back. Usually however this sight loss is permanent and the steroids are being used to stop the Giant Cell Arteritis affecting the sight in the other eye. . Only in about 25 per cent of cases will GCA cause the sight loss described if left untreated.
It is better not to take any risk. Any new pain on chewing, persistent headache, symptoms such as the swelling of the artery or pain when touching the temples should be reported to your GP or if out of hours or not available go to the nearest A&E Hospital Department. It is an Emergency.
This means that you can get the steroid treatment promptly and not risk the loss of your sight.
There is a team led by Professor Bhaskar Dasgupta at Southend Hospital which is beginning some research. Along with the British Society for Rheumatology they are bringing out new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of PMR.
There is also an independent research unit in Arizona under the auspices of the National Medical Research Foundation.
Dr Sarah Mackie of Leeds University is undertaking a 3 year project, funded by Help the Aged, researching GCA. Marijke Foundation (Stichting Marijke MHKO Fonds) located in the Netherlands is concentrating on looking for Cause and Cure for GCA.
Few of us are still in the workforce, although this is changing.
The conditions are not life-threatening.
We are a generation brought up not to make a fuss, or even discuss illness - but that is changing.
There are quite a few of us out there and Support Groups are located throughout the UK.
Family and Friends will, in all probability not have heard of either PMR or GCA and as you will look OK, they will be bewildered and worried. The Support Groups welcome you and family, friends or carers are also most welcome.
You will meet people who are in the same position as you and also some with more experience. It is good to talk.


Randomised clinical trial: a Lactobacillus GG and micronutrient-containing mixture is effective in reducing nosocomial infections in children, vs. placebo.
BACKGROUND: Nosocomial infections are a major public health issue and preventative strategies using probiotics and micronutrients are being evaluated.
AIM: To investigate the efficacy of a mixture of Lactobacillus GG and micronutrients in preventing nosocomial infections in children.
METHODS: A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in hospitalised children. Children (6 months to 5 years of age) received Lactobacillus GG (6× 10(9) CFU/day) together with vitamins B and C and zinc or placebo, for 15 days, starting on the first day of hospitalisation. The incidence of gastrointestinal and respiratory nosocomial infections after discharge was determined by follow-up telephone call at 7 days. After 3 months, another telephone call estimated the incidence of further infections during follow-up.
RESULTS: Ninety children completed the follow-up. Of 19/90 children with a nosocomial infection (20%), 4/45 children (9%) were in the treatment group and 15/45 (33%) in the placebo group (P = 0.016). Specifically, 2/45 (4%) children in the treatment group vs. 11/45 (24%) children in the placebo group (P = 0.007) presented with diarrhoea. The duration of hospitalisation was significantly shorter in the treatment group (3.9 days± 1.7 vs. 4.9 ± 1.2; P = 0.003). At the follow-up, a total of 11/45 (24.4%) children in the treatment group had at least one episode of infection compared to 22/45 (48.9%) in the placebo group (P = 0.016).
CONCLUSION: A mixture containing Lactobacillus GG and micronutrients may reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections, supporting the hypothesis that this may represent a valid strategy to prevent nosocomial infections.

Report: Sam Gagner closing in on one-year deal with Blue Jackets
The Columbus Blue Jackets don't have much cap space, but they're willing to use what room they do have left to take a shot on Sam Gagner. According to a report, Gagner, 26, is close to signing a one-year deal. He scored eight goals and 16 points in 53 games in 2015-16.
Jared Clinton
The Columbus Blue Jackets have less than $4.5 million in salary cap space for the upcoming campaign, but that's not going to stop them from making some minor tweaks and additions to their roster.
According to the Columbus Dispatch's Aaron Portzline, the Blue Jackets and Sam Gagner are closing in on signing a one-year, one-way deal that will bring the 26-year-old to Columbus next season.
Gagner should come in relatively cheap and shouldn't eat into the Blue Jackets' available salary cap space too much. Coming off of an eight goal and 16-point season in 53 games this past season, it's not the worst gamble for the Blue Jackets to take, either. And with a hole in the bottom-six — and a depth center job open for whoever can step up and take it — Gagner's ability to play both center and the wing makes him a perfect fit.
As Portzline points out, the likely spot for Gagner is in the middle of the Blue Jackets' lineup. Brandon Dubinsky is all but assured the spot as first-line center in Columbus, while Boone Jenner could take the second-line role. However, Jenner spent a large portion of the past season on a line with Dubinsky, which could mean he's destined to shift to a top-line wing role once again. That leaves youngsters William Karlsson and Alexander Wennberg to fight for the right to center the third line, with Gregory Campbell likely spending his season in the fourth-line role again.
If Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella is looking for a more experienced option down the middle, though, that's where Gagner could come in. It could be the exact opportunity he needs at this point in his career, too.
Gagner's career has hit somewhat of a roadblock over the past two seasons. After a trade sent him to the Tampa Bay Lightning and then almost immediately to the Arizona Coyotes ahead of the 2014-15 campaign, Gagner spent just one year in the desert before being shipped off to the Philadelphia Flyers ahead of last season. And after having eight consecutive seasons in which he eclipsed the 35-point plateau, which includes six 40-point seasons, Gagner's production fell off a cliff with the Flyers.
But if Gagner's signing comes in cheap and he can produce anywhere near the 40 points that had been the norm during the early years of his career, it could be a nice, cheap deal for the Blue Jackets. And anything that could potentially help Columbus improve from their 27th-place finish in 2015-16 is worth a shot.

Tight Defensive Effort Provides Little Consolation for Maple Leafs Against Oilers
Despite a solid defensive effort, the Toronto Maple Leafs lacked the offensive punch that is a large party of their identity.
By David Alter
