That's right, it would appear that no record is safe from Volkswagen's ID R; at the weekend, another record fell at the wheels of VW's 671bhp all-electric hillclimb car. This time, it was the all-time record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed that had previously stood for twenty years. Even more amazingly, they didn't just break it once, they did it twice.
The previous record of 41.6 seconds was set by Nick Heidfeld at the wheel of the McLaren MP4/13 Formula One car back in 1999; a pace so fast that it caused Formula One cars to be banned from future timed runs up the hill.
Wearing specifically developed aerodynamics and with Romain Dumas at the wheel, the ID R actually managed to take the record on day two with a time of 41.18, during a practice session. Later that day, during the timed shootout, the ID R returned to go even faster, setting a final time of 39.90 seconds.
In order to ensure that the ID R was ideally set up for the short run up the Goodwood hill, Volkswagen equipped the car with the smallest battery yet, reducing the car's weight to just 1,000kg – including Romain – and set it to maximum attack mode, with zero energy conservation worked into the run.
Setting their record times on the Saturday, Volkswagen had hoped that they would be able to set an even faster time on the Sunday of the event, until wet weather prevented full attack runs. Joking after their run, Technical Director François-Xavier Demaison said "if we stay one more week, it's possible we could find a few more tenths."
This is the third record that the Volkswagen ID R has managed to break in the last year; starting with the Pikes Peak hillclimb in 2018 – which it broke by 15 seconds – and then, more recently, the Nürburgring EV record by more than 40 seconds.
We aren't really sure what records are left for the Volkswagen ID R to break but we're excited to see where they take it. The Volkswagen ID R has been developed as a test bed for future electric technologies and utilises systems that will ultimately filter into the range of Volkswagen ID electric cars that we'll see over the next few years.

Work-Life Balance? Consider Be-Do Balance
Work-Life Balance is a mediocre model, at best, and we have positioned Mind-Body-Spirit as perhaps a better way to create and maintain balance because it focuses on you taking care of you regardless of whether you're in the office or at home.

Vingroup's retail and agriculture units to merge with Masan
Tuesday, 2019-12-03 15:55:31
NDO - Vingroup has announced that its retail and agriculture units, VinCommerce and VinEco, will be merged with Masan Consumer, a subsidiary of Masan Group, to create a new retail and consumer goods company, purportedly the largest in Vietnam.
Under a share swap deal, Vingroup will swap all of its shares in VinCommerce into the new company after the merger and then dispose part of the shares to Masan.
Masan will take over operations while Vingroup will become a shareholder.
Vingroup said the move aims to free up resources so that it can focus on the industry and technology segment, which refers to the car manufacturer VinFast and electronic device manufacturing unit VinSmart.
The post-merger company will possess a network of more than 2,600 VinMart and VinMart+ supermarkets and convenience stores in 50 provinces and cities as well as 14 high-tech VinEco farms.
The two companies said in a press release that the agreement will maximise each side's core competencies, thereby leading the development of Vietnam's consumer-retail industry towards the regional scale.
"Vingroup has completed its mission to create a leading clean agriculture and retail system in Vietnam, and now we will carry this flag to continue our mission to serve consumers, while ensuring a fair retail market for Vietnamese manufacturers", said Truong Cong Thang, Chairman of Masan Consumer.
The current management system of VinCommerce as well as existing supplier policies will remain in place after the merger.

Growers are always optimistic to get ahead of the challenges of the previous year. As retailers, you are always looking for ways to help them make the right decisions to reach their full potential.
Each grower may have their own definition of success, but no matter where they live, growers need to develop a crop management plan that has a good defense and a good offense. When it comes to crop protection, this includes recommending certain fungicides such as many of those with the active ingredient, pyraclostrobin, as not only a means of managing disease, but also as a way to improve Plant Health to defend against environmental stress throughout the growing season.
When it comes to a good defense, it is important to remember diseases can damage yield potential before they are easily detected. Pay special attention to fields that are historically disease prone, are not rotated regularly between different crops, or that are no-till or minimum-till. Those fields will need additional management to control diseases. Additionally, with increased instances of diseases such as northern corn leaf blight, gray leaf spot and multiple types of leaf blight, making fungicide applications part of the integrated pest management plan for next year is increasingly important.
Applying Priaxor® fungicide in soybean or pairing Priaxor fungicide with Headline® AMP fungicide in corn helps crops reach their full genetic potential. These two BASF fungicide and Plant Health products, in addition to protecting from disease, enhance photosynthesis in plants and create more energy in the reproductive stages. This can lead to higher yield potential even when environmental stresses, such as hot and dry weather conditions, negatively impact the growth of the plant. The more energy the crop has available, the better it can fight off diseases that can impact growth efficiency all season long.
Advising growers to add a preventive fungicide application to their crop protection plan before a disease is visually present is not only a good solution to the grower, but for you as well. Plants can stay healthier and greener longer, which helps them reach their optimal yield potential. Offering the best disease control and Plant Health advice to growers shows your commitment to making every dollar count in their field — helping you to gain both their trust and dollars season after season.

Sci-Fi Lullabies, 1997 – Suede
A compilation of b-sides.
That is normally the sort of thing that makes sensible people run for the hills.
If the songs on the b-side were any good they would be on the a-side?
If they were not quite good enough for the a-side but were still pretty good then surely they would have made it onto the album?
Nobody wants to listen to b-sides.
Britpop was the musical movement that disproved that notion.
Blur saved all sorts of weird and wonderful curiosities for their b-sides including things like the magnificent "Young and Lovely". Oasis had so many classic songs tucked away on the flip side of their singles that you began to believe that the whole thing was a perverse joke and that the singles themselves were the b-sides and the band had simply released them because they knew they were still better than anything anyone else was releasing. Sleeper too had all sorts of wonders on the reverse of the big hits. I could go on. You get the general idea.
Nobody did b-sides quite like Suede though.
"Sci-fi Lullabies" gathered together most, but not all, of the b-sides from "The Drowners" through to "Filmstar" and proved, beyond any doubt, that Suede were a band so soaked in brilliance that they were without any real rivals. "My Insatiable One", "Killing of a Flashboy", "Every Monday Morning Comes" and, well, just about every other song here was the match of anything any of their contemporaries were doing on the a-side.
The best Suede album?
Tellin' Stories, 1997 – The Charlatans
A great album.
A great band.
One of the finest bands Britain has ever produced.
Consistently bringing new sounds that sound familiar.
A band worthy of your love…deserving of your obsession.
But Britpop?
Like James, The Stone Roses and another act who will appear a little later in this piece, The Charlatans were here before Britpop and they would have continued to sell records and do that thing they do without the aid of a "scene". They exist outside of the parameters of labels and so I am calling "Not Britpop".
That said if I don't hear "North Country Boy" at the next Star Shaped event I attend I will be upset.
Vauxhall and I, 1994 – Morrissey
Speaking of people who exist outside of scenes.
"Vauxhall and I" is the best record of Morrissey's career.
Not just as a solo artist either.
From start to finish it never drops below the level of perfection.
Littered with pop culture references and relatively free from the bile and spite that has dominated so much of his work since this it is also the last album he produced where delicacy and fragility, both musically and lyrically, were the order of the day.
But, simply put, this is not a Britpop record.
No matter what definition you wish to employ.
Fuzzy Logic, 1996 – Super Furry Animals
Full of flair.
From the opening track "God! Show me Magic" it was very obvious that we were about to embark on a trip into the wonderful and the weird. Super Furry Animals were no Oasis or Blur mimics, they were utterly unique and defiantly demented. Shunning anything even approaching a category or a scene they just got on with making music that shook your soul and battered your senses.
Nothing has changed over the course of 23 years.
A Northern Soul, 1995 – The Verve
I am heading for Dundee.
I've taken the train from Paisley Gilmour Street to Glasgow Central straight after my last lecture of the week and before I head for Buchanan Street bus station to catch the bus to spend the weekend with my girlfriend I stop off in Tower Records and pick up a copy of this record on the strength of having heard the lead off single "This is Music".
I actually buy it twice.
One of the great benefits of being sober, in every regard, is that you often have money for indulgences like an album on tape and CD.
Once on the bus I pop "A Northern Soul" into my Walkman and listen.
"A New Decade" hits me hard.
Woozy, fuzzy, discordant, poetic, romantic, soulful, plaintive.
I hit the rewind button and listen.
It's not the only track that makes me do that on the journey to the city of jam and jute.
By the time I get to my girlfriend's flat I have listened to the album, in it's entirety, at least twice through. I don't even take my coat off before I head to her CD player and pull the album from my bag and force it into the machine. I hit play and we both listen.
I'd be lying if I told you that it had the same impact on her.
She liked it.
Of course she liked it.
She could hear.
Later that weekend we are at some student disco and the DJ plays "This is Music".
I don't dance.
I listen.
I get talking to a very beautiful but dangerous girl who has been named after an Italian city…she is flirting with me (honestly) and I don't try to stop her, I have already had my weekly argument with the girlfriend and she is off somewhere with someone dancing, drinking, deliberating the worth of being in a relationship with a boy like me.
I start to pontificate about how great The Verve are with the beautiful girl with the exotic name. I start talking about honesty and passion and purity.
She listens.
Then she says; "I just want to have some fun." before heading off to find exactly that.
Story of my life.
Breaking God's Heart, 1998 – Hefner
Darren Hayman is a genius.
No doubt.
No argument.
A brilliant lyricist…closer to a poet.
Outside of Hefner you should listen to his "Thankful Villages" work…a genius.
But…not Britpop.
Lot's of people keep making this mistake.
Britpop isn't British pop.
It isn't even British guitar pop.
It is something more than and less than that.
Hefner are not Britpop.
In it for the Money, 1996 – Supergrass
After the delirious pop giddiness of "I Should Coco" and the enormous success of "Alright", the 'Grass needed to ensure that they followed up with something…different, better, more?
The problem, if it is a problem, of a monster single like "Alright" is that it can, very easily, define a band, trap them in one moment, one three minute burst and that is all anyone ever remembers. Lots of bands never escape "that" song.
"In it for the Money" was broader, bolder and more ballsy than "Coco"…everything was turned up and turned on to ensure that the listener knew that these were no one hit wonders.
At the Club, 1997 – Kenickie
I dare you to listen to this and not feel better about…everything.
Off you go.
I can wait.
Told you.
This is the sound of youth.
Funnier than you.
Smarter than you.
Sharper than you.
Braver than you.
Kenickie were all of the things you wanted to be, that you still want to be, but just couldn't ever manage.
Don't worry.
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.
Very few get to be Kenickie.
So Tough, 1993 – Saint Etienne
This is really simple.
This album starts with a reading from a Dirk Bogarde poem called "Steel Cathedral's" and also features samples from "Peeping Tom", "Billy Liar", "That'll be the Day" and all sorts of other British movie loveliness. Well, given the content of "Peeping Tom" maybe "loveliness" isn't quite the right word.
The point is that "So Tough" was the album that captured the sound and spirit of London in the nineties better than any other…by capturing the essence of sixties London and bending it to suit the needs of the new generation.
Pop perfection from start to finish.
Olympian, 1995 – Gene
I can't really say too much about this because a full article on this album is currently in the works!
Shall we just agree that it is brilliant and leave it at that?
I like it when we all get along.

(At a pinch, a single 4.5" x 6" glass ND filter can be cut into two stackable 3" filters !!)
Yep, Have ordered one of these. I couldn't resist being able to travel light with this outfit. Hence my ability to resist the optional 8mm rails.
[Also got a 3x3" ND filter] I'm hoping this size filter becomes more readily available.
Also keen to see Chinese manufacturers jump onto this DSLR-friendly format!
Very nice. I hope they update this with removable rod support. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Edit -- apparently it does have optional rod support. I may buy this.
They say that it has optional rod support, but I didn't find any details. Anybody has some additional informations?
I am loving this tiny matte box. Yesterday I shot lots with Panasonic 14mm pancake. I currently have the top flag adjusted so it only just clears the FOV of that lens.{I'm absolutely sure it can be raised further but I can't work out what Cavision want me to do with their screw/lock nut/rubber grommet combination].
All plastic but the design is impressive. You'll need their 10 thick mm step-ring, say 77-85mm diameter. I've had to order this later. I will keep this permanently attached to the m/b and use a series of xx->77mm step rings to fit all my lenses.
B&H have user comments on the 8mm rails, People are impressed with the tiny size - with the impression given that you don't get much for what you pay for(?)
Can you supply some pics of your setup? I'd love to see just how small this really is.
Mounted on Olympus 45-150mm zoom. Using Cokin-P filter. MB is light enough, but I support it with one hand while changing focal lengths. I never do zoom shots.
8mm rig $79.95 at http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/310716-REG/Cavision_RS_816_RS_816_8mm_Light_Weight.html
8mm carbon fibre Rails with adjustable base plate reputedly only available at Cavision. They say B&H are selling old stock with fixed plate.
At last, a matte box that actually seems sensible for the GH2. My only reservation is how future-proof those 3x3 filters going to be, though newer cameras do seem to be getting smaller...
Of course, the French flags fold in nearly all the way for travelling. If side flags are removed first, all the way.
The rails seem superfluous to me - and defeat the purpose of compactness. I can see myself buying them and never using them. If anyone has owned the rig with rails for a while, can you tell us how useful it is?
In a clip-on configuration as you have it, does it feel like the total weight of the lens + matte box could be a strain on the delicate GH2 mount?
There will always be that doubt - as well as the lens-to-mattebox mount. If worried, use the rig.
For me, I consider that life is short and the GH2 is cheap.
My only reservation is how future-proof those 3x3 filters going to be
I get the impression that my long (>10 weeks?) wait for my 0.6 Cavision filter at B&H means that they are being made to order!
As I said, get creative. Use Cokin P (nice-tight fit but no little handle)
Start cutting glass. A big filter can make 2 small ones.
I'm a big fan of rod systems. I'm waiting to hear back from Cavision, but this part might add swing-away capability to this 3x3 mattebox: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/310686-REG/Cavision_RSSA1520_RSSA_1520_15mm_Rod_Support.html
Anyone use a 12mm or wider with this MB yet?
This actually looks good guys. Thanks for sharing, I will have to research this.
Thank you for the the report that it works with 14mm pancake. Still wondering if it will work with 14-140 as it has a much larger diameter. I second the question about 12 mm. If this works this is bought.
From the Cavision website: "Fit DSLR lens wide angle: APS-C: 15mm & up. Full frame: 35mm & up (may work at wider angles on lenses with less than 77mm filter diameter; may also work on wider lenses if clamped directly on lens front)."
This suggests that it will work without vignette down to 17.5mm on an M43, but @goanna has already confirmed that he has been able to use it down to 14mm, at least with a pancake lens. Cavision also offers a recessed adapter ring available that may buy a little more wide-angle flexibility. This could possibly push it into 12mm territory.
I just heard back from Cavision. Here's what I've learned:
So, minus the fact that there isn't an 85mm cloth donut yet (a DIY solution would not be too difficult), it appears to be a compact, fully-featured swing-away mattebox for about $350, with high quality filters that seem to go for 30-40% less than the 4x4 filters.
This is extremely interesting. @QuickHitRecord thanks for keeping us updated. Please do let us know what Cavision says regarding the swing-away attachment.
I don't have all the step-rings I'd need to try all lenses.
But my 6mm Pentax just checks out fine. (40.5mm dia, then 2 step rings, C-mount, ~12mm equiv) By fine I mean I can start to fold in the French flags well before there's any cropping.
As I said, I've worked out all step rings will go to 77mm. Then the M/B will have a permanent 77-82mm step ring with a good, wide lip to fit the m/b.
Re rigs: there are two embedded brass screw-holes in the M/B base. I may make an aluminium plate to go from the M/B to an elongated hole to match the camera's tripod mount hole. That would come off quickly enough to change lenses and still keep it all rigid.
Thanks for the info about the proposed do-nut. If they're doing that they're obviously contemplating other ways to attach to the camera. Maybe an 8mm swing-away...
I really don't see how it could do you any harm to order just the matte box to start with. Once you're putting it through its paces you'll be better placed to modify a rig to suit.
Do you see any reason why this won't work with the Black Magic CC as well? This could be a sweet option (with rails.)
@goanna Agreed. But it's good to know that there is a full system out there to support this matte box.
@ahbleza I can't see a reason why it would not be a good match.
From Cavision, regarding the swing away:
With the addition of a spacer (we can provide that) it does work on the new 3x3 matte box. However, you may run into a problem if you are using any lenses that are fairly short. The issue is that the rods bracket on the swing away piece will sit about two inches behind the matte box. This will also depend partly on the 15mm rods support system you're using (ie how far the bracket can slide back towards or under the camera before hitting an obstruction).
It probably won't work so well with the Lumix Pancake lenses, but I don't think that it would be a problem with anything else.
The rod bracket may also be an issue with bigger lenses, if you use a rail-mounted follow focus.
I just bought a FOTGA ND set for my Lumix 20mm. I am waiting for the FOTGAS to arrive but was wondering what the hell to do for my Lumix m7-14mm.
I didn't want to turn my nimble GH2 into a rig but I keep wanting more control over the image and I guess that's how it starts. It looks like this mattebox will accomodate the 7-14mm - I really want one.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

"Jimmie Durham: A Matter of Life and Death and Singing"
Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen (M HKA)
Leuvenstraat 32
May 24–November 18, 2012
Curated by Anders Kreuger and Bart de Baere
With the patience of a philosopher and the humor of a prankster, Jimmie Durham has for more than four decades been challenging our understanding of how history and ideology shape identity and representation. His practiceinitially part of the lively downtown New York art scene in the early 1980s, with subsequent years based in Mexico, Berlin, and Romemoves effortlessly between prose, poetry, performance, and visual art to tackle questions of individual freedom from a position of intractable yet witty resistance. This summer, the M HKA will indulge the Native American artist's wide-ranging admirers with upward of 120 works representing the full breadth of his career. A related reader edited by Jean Fisher and published by JRP Ringier will feature essays by Guy Brett and Richard William Hill, as well as a collection of essays by Durham.

Throw in the fact that these albums contain some of Butler and Maraire's outright catchiest work, and the 'Quazarz' suite is an unequivocal triumph.
Quazarz listeners essentially become protagonists from a Jorge Luis Borges story, piecing together inadequate notes on an intentionally byzantine conspiracy, impossible to fully grasp.
No gimmicks, no shortcuts, just a profuse mass of rich, literate lyricism, propped up by an overflowing bounty of complex musical accompaniment.
For what could be a masturbatory exercise or a cheap way to create buzz for what is ultimately weird-ass inaccessible hip-hop, there's very little filler to be found. These are sprawling works with clear focus.
As if heard through alien ears, the arrangements have a weird, woozy character, with the abstract beats and trickly, liquid synth parts punctuated by unusual instruments.
Born a Gangster Star is the intentionally more disorientating of the two records, introducing a strange new world where outsiders like Quazarz immediately feel alienated.
The power of Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star and Quazarz vs the Jealous Machines comes from the way they spike their dense, abstract sound with moments of accessibility: a band broadening what they do without blunting their edge or losing their uniqueness.
Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star is a curious new entry for the group. It expands the space-age palate of Lese Majesty, but slips in the unique tunefulness of Black Up. And yet it doesn't quite sound like either, and — maybe unsurprisingly, at this point — it doesn't sound like any other record you'll hear this year.
Like interstellar guides, they're always positioned a little further out than their peers, and these two records offer suggested routes to an infinity of possible futures.
Gangster Star reads like Butler's version of a memoir: his experience as an extraterrestrial being deposited on a hostile planet.
Shabazz Palaces' music isn't for everyone. Even after many listens, one gets the sense that there's always going to be a hidden meaning or detail yet to be examined. For the casual listener who just wants to get the gist, Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star will suffice.
Throughout, Butler's approach begins to wear a bit thin. ... His approach previously felt oblique and razor-sharp (think Vince Staples on The Big Fish Theory), but his rhymes fail to strike a balance with Maraire's fantastic beats.
Shabazz Palaces return with deeply flawed twin concept albums.

For many people, Winston Churchill is highly regarded as one of the greatest figures in British history.
The stern politician and war leader has been immortalised on screen by some talented actors in recent years including Albert Finney (Into the Storm), Timothy Spall (The King's Speech) and John Lithgow (The Crown).
Coincidentally, two biopics have been made about the former Prime Minister this year with the first of those being Churchill, which starred Brian Cox in the lead role. However the second of these biopics is now on its way with renowned British actor Gary Oldman (Leon: The Professional, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, The Dark Knight trilogy) unrecognisable in his portrayal of Churchill.
Entitled Darkest Hour, the film's official trailer can be seen below:
Directed by Joe Wright (Pride and Prejudice, Atonement), the biopic focuses on Churchill's appointment as Prime Minister of Great Britain and his difficult call in trying to prevent a war taking place with Nazi Germany. But with the threat of an invasion imminent, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.
Oldman is joined in the film by a solid support cast which includes Kristen Scott Thomas (The English Patient, Nowhere Boy) as Clementine Churchill, Lily James (Cinderella, Baby Driver) as Churchill's secretary Elizabeth Nel, Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as King George VI, Stephen Dillane (Game of Thrones, The Tunnel) as Viscount Halifax and Ronald Pickup (The Mission, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) as Neville Chamberlain.
Darkest Hour will be released in the UK on January 12th 2018.

text: With the help of Kim Olson, director of brand PR, the General Mills product PR team has taken on a more active role in the firm's marketing mix by working with other company teams.General Mills' suburban corporate campus is so serene looking that when you drive up, it's hard to imagine how much work is going on inside. But these days, the Minneapolis-based company has its work cut out for it. The food giant must respond to the low-carb craze sweeping the country while simultaneously fighting off traditional rivals, such as a hard-charging Kellogg's, and moving forward from a 2001 merger with Pillsbury. In the midst of all these challenges, General Mills' product PR team has become a major part of its marketing mix. Since joining the company from Weber Shandwick three years ago, Kim Olson, director of brand PR, has expanded the internal PR team, taken on more outside agencies, instituted an internal PR measurement index, and turned to non-traditional means of getting General Mills' key messages to consumers in parts of the country that traditional marketing often ignores. More important, the PR people on Olson's team have become key players in General Mills' product-marketing teams, something that wasn't true half a decade ago. "These people sit on the marketing team," says General Mills CMO Mark Addicks, speaking of the product PR people. "Five years ago, they were called when the marketing ideas were already developed. Public relations is not just [a product] announcement role anymore." Indeed, Olson and her 13-person team are using PR in ways that push the boundaries of what PR means for a packaged-goods company. More than a year ago, they began testing a radio concept dubbed "Win/ Win" in which General Mills products were offered as prize giveaways for radio stations that would instruct on-air staff to mention those products in their daily banter. A DJ might talk about heart-care issues and Cheerios as a heart-healthy offering, for example, in exchange for the ability to give away Cheerios products to listeners. The program targets small and midsize markets throughout the country, locations that represent major opportunities to establish brand loyalty for General Mills. "Win/Win" provides more message control than traditional PR and adds third-party credibility, Olson contends. The "Win/Win" concept has proved so successful that General Mills has spun it off into a separate business. Its clients now include not only General Mills, but such major companies as Best Buy, 3M, and Clorox. On the TV side, General Mills turns out a weekly lifestyle VNR that it distributes every Thursday. Topics covered might include getting children to eat healthy snacks at Halloween or putting together meals to deal with weight issues after the Christmas holidays. Started two years ago, these VNRs now get an average of 18 million impressions weekly for General Mills products, Olson says. A focus on results Talking about results in quantifiable terms is important at General Mills, Addicks notes. It is an MBA-rich environment, so it's been important for PR to establish measurements that help it demonstrate its worth in quantifiable ways to other parts of the company. Olson can rattle off impressions earned faster than a Jeopardy contestant answering obscure trivia - 3 billion impressions for General Mills products in the fiscal year ending this June, compared with 2.3 billion in 2003 and 2.2 billion in 2002. But she needed something more substantial to show the worth of her team's efforts and so developed a new measurement metric called QQI - Quantity, Quality, Impact. Every product PR effort at General Mills gets a QQI rating. The number of impressions received can score a project up to 50 points. The quality of coverage, measured by such things as key message points being included in a story on a product, counts as 25 points in the QQI score. Impact also counts for 25 points and is measured by either sales, visits to a product website, entries in a contest if one is involved, or calls to a toll-free number for product information. Olson has an independent practitioner compile scores for each of her PR programs rather than ask PR firms working on the programs to do it because "we want a neutral third party to look at all our programs," she says. Olson has been expanding the mix of agencies that General Mills works with, picking smaller and midsize firms for projects in areas where they have expertise while working with majors, such as Fleishman-Hillard, Weber Shandwick, Ketchum, and MS&L, because they have the ability to handle larger, integrated efforts, she says. "I think she's brought a structure and a posture toward hiring agencies," says Tom Jollie, SVP with Padilla Speer Beardsley. "She's got us on our toes. Kim has high standards, and she challenges you to really do your best and deliver what's most important for the brand." Padilla works on such General Mills brands as Progresso soups, Gold Medal, and Hamburger Helper. "Kim has always been focused on measurement and results," says Sara Gavin, president of WS' Minneapolis office. "She's built a very high-talent team with a real drive toward strategy, execution, and results." Olson has built her team with a combination of longtime General Mills PR people, some former Pillsbury PR staffers, and a smattering of new people with agency experience. She rotates key staffers among brands to keep a fresh flow of ideas coming. Olson's been able to hold on to staffers, as well - only one person has left in the last year and a half - and that stability has aided PR development. Jollie notes that PR people stay at General Mills because they know they're close to the action when it comes to being key members of product-marketing teams. They've gotten those spots by contributing good ideas and by serving as monitors of important trends in society and the food business. Allegra Sinclair, senior PR manager for snacks, Yoplait, and corporate promotions, recalls that when she started working on snacks a few years ago, that area hadn't heard much from PR. She set out to change that, passing along articles on trends she thought would help the snacks-marketing team. "It was really becoming more of a partner rather than just their PR person," she says. The low-carb test All the groundwork Olson and her PR team have done to bring PR into General Mills' marketing mix is being tested by the low-carb craze. Some industry analysts have faulted General Mills for being slower to pick up on the low-carb craze than rivals like Unilever. General Mills CEO Steve Sanger admitted as much in March when announcing flat third-quarter earnings, up just 2% to $2.7 billion. "Our third-quarter results were disappointing," he said in a statement issued with the earnings. General Mills is playing low-carb catch-up, but its PR people say the strength of its established brands will distinguish the new carb-centric offerings. At the annual Food Marketing Institute show in Chicago earlier this month, General Mills unveiled such new low-carb offerings as Betty Crocker Carb Monitor Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Hamburger Helper Carb Monitor Cheeseburger Macaroni, and Progresso Carb Monitor soups. The firm plans to "use General Mills' heritage and trust as selling points," says Olson. The low-carb category has seen box loads of new offerings, but General Mills thinks it's not too late for it to succeed in the category. "It's crowded, but it's not crowded with products from companies like ours," says Olson. Addicks, who has been marketing General Mills products since he joined the company in 1988, thinks the low-carb craze is only the tip of a health iceberg about to hit the food business. Baby boomers will increasingly look for ways to stay healthy and active as they reach their senior years, Addicks predicts. "I think you're going to look at a range of challenges in a volume you have not seen," he says of food marketing to health-conscious consumers. Food marketing will need to be "tailored to be very responsive and smart in the way you go to market," he says. General Mills is hoping Olson and her PR team will help give it the smarts it needs to market new products that consumers will clamor for.

The Australia airline industry has recently experienced several challenges for senior level management to effectively implement decisions that a positive effect on the overall business operations. The environment has played a significant role in the operating challenges for the senior management team that infused a concept for an organizational theory and practice to be implemented. In addition, the deregulation of the Australasian air services in the 1990s continues to drive the wedge between the pursuit of profitability and stability within the industry markets. The work-teams within the organization proposes additional concerns for the senior level team that needs the assistance for talented, bright, capable, and the management of individuals that continues the business operations.
The Analysis on the General and Task Environmental
The onset of the terrorist attacks in the United States, the Iraq War in 2003, the collapse of Ansett, and the SARS crisis pressured the airline industry to restructure the way business was done previously. The strict boarding and unloading procedures provide a stringent policy revamping as well as marketability. The initial approach for balancing the customer services complaints towards the international and domestic strict security measures, ticket purchases fluctuations, and the turbulent Open Skies agreement made the transition post-911 a challenge. Therefore, the marketability of the brand name and brand equity created anxiety within the turbulent industry. The deregulation filtered through the Australasian air service markets assisted in the other competing airline company creating a significant downturn for advancement in targeted demographic.
The Qantas Company objective is to foster a strong profitability organization with the basis of staying competitive; however, the onset of obstacles in the industry limits the progression. The intense environment for Qantas Company provided an emphasis on the policies and practices that identifies organizational behavior that requires a change management in place. The reduction of passenger traveling creates an opportunity as well as a threat for senior level management to identify creative ways in order to increase such volume. In doing so, the decreased in competition in the Australian Airline Industry reduces the aggressively attempt to overtake Qantas Company's objectives.

The prices in the Australian Industry create an environment that limits the pre-911 market trends in an influx of consumers. The conditions outlined the market being transcended into an environment that excess of fuel charges compounds the attractiveness of the domestic and international flights. Therefore, the area of focus for the senior management team at Qantas is directed at cost analysis that offset the actual incoming monetary benefits for sales transactions. The external marketing and branding of Qantas provides the area of focus to build on the founded company in Queensland in November 1920 as the leading entities. The message angle of the external marketing and branding aspects that Qantas to consider relates to the fundamentals of familiarity in the Australian Airline market.
The Approach to the Three Major Issues Identified in Analysis
The business main objective is to utilize the resources currently available to instill a stronger transport of passengers "differently" than competitors concentrating on maximum exposure in the demographic market. The maneuvering effort to focus on the "service" concept theory to acquire, sustains, and maintains the value propositions. In this approach, the Qantas Company has the ability to strengthen the targeted demographic base by offering different services than the known competitors. In addition, the Qantas Company objective to revamp any of the Virgin Blue's "low-far" with a challenging approach that not only identifies the Qantas as "the" airline carrier by balancing cost and services.
The concept theory for excellent customer service must broaden the low-cost operating model the Qantas Company inherited back in May 2001's acquisition of the Impuse Airlines to ultimately derive costs. Therefore, the evolvement into the Jetstar proved to address the stand-alone unit and costs, the needed strategic management aspects are required to staying competitive. The Impulse's low-operating costs during a bear economy provided the additional room for restricting resources and marketing concepts that reinforce the theory towards service. The flexibility of offering a streamlined staffing and/or labor practices infuses the primary objective of the senior level management team mission; to drive tickets sales and reoccurring ticket sales to advance brand equity.
The policy initially in force enabled Qantas Company to implement strategic management through learning from the negatives of deregulation by balancing the low-cost model development. The approach provided an opening for major competitors to increase market share of at least 5% increase over the last several quarters. The primary goal for deregulation for increasing the competition and pricing flexibility to aimed for a leadership opportunity to greater efficiency in the industry and benefits to the consumers. However, the restrictions in boarding and un-boarding along with fluctuations in ticket purchases limit the projection of positive results from deregulation. The additional competition from regional carriers created a task environment that prevented a smaller room for adapting to the market, especially due to Air New Zealand as strong competitor.
The Air New Zealand offered some challenges due to the regional target demographic location competing with Qantas Company strong hold on the marketability of the airline service. Therefore, the Qantas Company must counteract the access of the legislative point of view by allowing regional competitors into the market by focusing on the "service" concept theory. The need to improving the aircraft models for better fuel efficiency assist in lowering the overall costs platform. The revamping of aircraft models differential from the regional Australian competitors, additionally, creates an opportunity to add flights that expands the domestic routes already in place. The prices associated with such domestic flights are able to infuse the needed "service "concept for a better brand identity and value preposition.
The pursuit for Qantas is to acquire a profound structure that delivers results to meeting objectives in a timely and within budget within the airline industry. Therefore, the senior management team primary initiative in order to balance out the redirection of the available onboard services, new domestic routes, and the innovation in the form of creative model aircraft to increase capitalism. The proposed innovation provides the winning strategy for a long lasting effort to reach the company's goals. That is why the senior management team plays a pivotal role in accessing the criteria's for demonstrating a method to utilizing the projection needed in steering the company appropriately.
The Qantas Company can proactively hone on the benefits for regional community attributes required to delivering detailed-results for senior management. Therefore, the learning aspects are critical to the desired outcome for all senor level management personnel in leading the change management effectively. The concept for organizations in creating non-destructive environment is achieved by taking the philosophical approach theory by academic scholar Schumpeter's coined phrase that enlists the fundamental basis to succeeding in projections. The review of the concepts will foster on the streamline of criterion that allows a steady formation to synergize the core attributes of the Qantas Company senior management team.
The innovation can actually benefit from using demographic segmentation for targeting the demographic audience by the increase of the share of the customer in the market, high customer equity, and brand equity – that provides continued growth for business operations. The art and science of choosing the right airline innovation for the target markets and building profitable relationships with them presents the foundation of marketing management for the (Tosey and Matheson, 2008). The formula for the innovation contributes to the marketing management agenda is the philosophy for an aircraft design plan for a concise effort to synergize the driven marketing strategy. The aim to find a correct measure for significant position is to finding, attracting, keeping, and grow the target customers by creating, delivering, and communicating superior organizational structure.
In the attempt to successfully use concept outlined in Schumpeter's signature legacy insight encourages the demographic segmentation; the marketing management team needs to consider who the company is to serve (Wouters, Marc and Wilderom, Celeste, 2008). The concept for redirecting resources will provide the marketing manager the means to create a substantial marketing such segmentation plan accordingly within the organization. The methods to identify and managing the targeted demographic will need to divide the market into segments of customers and serving them directly. This approach provides the innovation for structuring the organization for a stronger foundation towards benefiting the superior product and/or service to a more defined innovation.
The Qantas Company can then proceed to take into account the targeted demographic segmentation not just a preference of the brand product or service but value proposition. The benefit of using these new principles for promising challenges within the value proposition creates more a dedication from the targeted demographic (Pelsmacker, 2006). The synergy with the core values of the company's innovation business objectives to infuse the product and service into the market for a longtime relationship with targeted audience enhances Qantas Company's market share significantly. The demographic segmentation commitment that contributes for a longtime relationship with the targeted audience, either domestically or internationally, increase of profitable relationship with B2B implemented strategies.
The organizational approach can relate to an increase higher demand during seasons that stretches the budget of the Qantas Company that restricts the demand and risk in focusing specific "services concepts" produced. The implemented strategy by imposing new functional organizational structures can assist in the balance of using the targeted marketing segmentation that is essential to establishing a coalition. In doing so, the marketing initiatives that does not reduce other needed areas to be focused on provides Qantas Company senior level management team the opportunities for adapting to primary mission.
In order to accomplish the deregulation influences within the market, the senior level management departmental goals for the overall corporation. The organization often of times provides the potential for higher demand to satisfy or producing quality to sustain brand equity outlined from the senior management team (Saunders, 2007). To manage the new approach with regard to functional structuring, the marketing concept promotes the awareness level of avoiding the pitfalls for a targeted demographic. The airline industry creates an open forum for marketing managers to implementing the marketing plan strategy and balancing the potential negatives.
The effort to address any potential drawbacks identified – the marketing management team and the company's senior management team will be enable to engage one another and follow through with the marketing model. The approach for the new structure in the organization assists in the methods to improving the chosen message for the external targeted market of Qantas Company demographic. The targeted audience of implementation of strategy outlines a strong introduction to the demographic target market using internal measures of customer's feedback. The results from the customer's feedback allows the identified targeted demographic targeted audience offers the dialogue needed to begin the continued needed focus on an issue that affects everyone on the planet.
The preferred method of identification of the market and the chosen message relies on the Qantas Company branding objectives to external means through print airline periodicals and the internet that creates a well diversified campaign. The media channels provide the most directed and focused communication regarding the benefits of the Qantas Company's organization to the targeted audience. The marketing initiative demonstrates a balanced in show the core elements for improving the desired outcome – to the specified demographic for an immediate response.
Therefore, the challenges for Qantas Company on segments of customers through the chosen media initiative reinforce the effectiveness of the marketing position strategy.
The usage of sufficient resources for the marketing adaptation outlines the core values of the company's objectives and the product/service benefits. The format might indeed capture the message of the company for a successful implementation of the marketing campaign to the targeted audience. The method reduces the element of exposure the traditional means for delivering the message for the organization that actually compounds on the overall focus on brand identification and brand equity.
The Qantas Company needs to implement the traditional approach that means that the targeted audience is exposed to methods that are more focused directed to demographic audience. The approach is geared towards an effort to producing an instant advertising for a wider demographic that doesn't offer a constant awareness of regional markets like competitors but global markets. The reintroduction to the new concept approach furthers the attention of available "service" concepts that features better meals, customer service, discounts, and promotion opportunities to the specified demographic. In doing so, the basis to a particular location that limits the overall potential of the marketing campaign, therefore, a more traditional message for implementing the marketing strategy provides a more direct approach to reaching a targeted audience.
The Perspective on Qantas' Initiatives for Positive Results
The Qantas Company's marketing strategy will formulate a cohesive approach that incorporates the infusing of brand identity to improve business sales and highlight the Boeing 737-800's series effectively. The implementation of the marketing strategy will focus on the assisting of consumers associated with the targeted audience of the airline organization core theme of flexibility. The core values for dedicating their business operations for providing the utmost desired positive results in the formation of the organizational promotion strategy. The illustrated promotional and marketing initiative to effectively expand on in the phases of the marketing campaign and relies on the organizational marketing mix.
The implementation of the marketing strategy will centralized the brand identity concept by positioning the Qantas Company theme and motto phrase throughout the demographical locations. The customer focus method will provide additional referrals and word of mouth that plays into the marketing initiative to improving the business objectives (Johnson and Zawawi, 2000). It would be more important to focusing on the consumers targeted in the demographic matrix that outlines the established opportunity to create the marketing campaign with key points of focus and stimulating the targeted audience (Chitty, Barker, and Shimp, 2005).
The marketing approach for the targeted audience should be tailored to the specific needs of the customer. The identification needs of the customer can be obtained by variety of means that provides interactive marketing activities for lasting relationships between the customer and the organization. The gathering of specific needs can be obtained through in implication on the actual consumers of the company. In addition, the win-win negotiating campaign that both parties succeed in meeting its immediate needs in the initial approach.
Therefore, the innovation in the form of creative driving forces increases the ability to strengthen the capitalism, in which, the Qantas Company objective for better market value is reached. The insight forms an approach that directly focuses on customers immediate needs to find the brand identity and brand equity that secures the vantage point over time. The proposed marketing plan core concept is to securing the brand equity a significant market share for presenting the minds of the customer.
The brand equity will ensure the identity business operations due to the loyalty being nurtured through the marketing activities. The approach for the marketing campaign for customers will mandate a solidify message for highlighting the benefits to entails cost savings and specific identity of customers. The marketing activities will expand on the interactive advertising within a wider demographic customer identity base. The result would present a well defined marketing mix to capture and sustain the interest of green grocer's customer.
The Academic Theories and Concepts of the learning organization.
According to Marc Wooters and Celeste Widerom (2008) the organizational developmental approach to performance-measurement systems outlined the characteristics of a development process. The performance measurement systems perceived underlies the theory to reach a conclusion that limits the progression of new change management implementation. The controlled device for use by senior management refers to such a PMS as "enabling PMS" of the theoretical part of the study builds the notion of the learning organization. The concept for the ideas of enabling versus coercive formalization utilizes the notions of organizational learning by deliberate learning and the evolution of dynamic capabilities.
My direct perspective is the organization structure science provides the awareness of the possibility of incompleteness of performance measures. The reflections on a contingent view of fostering a leader in providing a robust air travel at prices at least 2-3% cheaper during reasonable seasons. The organizations manage the multiple dimensions of manufacturing market brand performance within the context encourages the mixed-method of a longitudinal study of the logistics department with qualitative data to conclude the fundamental results of such learned attributes. The gathering of data from interviews, participation in meetings, and the review of a direct assessment of the development process, in which, the organization guarantees a different mindset of organizational behavior.
The analyzed quantitative survey data as instructed by Marc Wooters and Cleste Widerom illustrates local policies and practices to know-how on performance measurement to enrich the PMS approach for an effective implementation of strategy. The specific performance measures were found to enhance the enabling nature of the PMS by focusing on the testing, reviewing, and refinement of conceptualizations, definitions, and new data. The perception significantly related to positive attitude toward performance measures in the results to illustrate transparency of the PMS itself by key enabling PMS to facilitate needed adjustments in the building of better models, and the services available. The pursuit for a successful strategic management implementation should be able to have normal functional operations within the after effects of a deregulated enterprise. The functional operation, the technique of project management is imperative in the efforts of the communication, cooperation, and coordination – that all work together in a profound approach to create a winning coalition with the project team members and senior management. The three "C" are essentially to providing the means in allowing project management to function in positive environment.
Therefore, the senior level management team within the organization to implement the strategy of change management for a learning organization on the ability to manage effectively. The objective of Qantas Company's senior level management is the ability to achieve the company's strategic goals and mission the excellent innovation. The project manager initiative is to follow the purpose for the development of the product or service with stated specifications with the PM effectively planning accordingly. The focus on the project management objective allows for a central concentrated effort on the outlined of the needed tasks- that is outside of the daily organizations functions as business as usual- to creating the specific need for the client domestically and internationally.
The collective consensus of project management within a Qantas Company's, in perspective, will provide the productive step in centralizing the need for better planning and learning organization measures. The management focused centralization of the responsibility and authority for the achievement of organizational goals. Therefore, the determination for completing the operations of the organization a focused effort can be reached successfully by implementing subtle but airline market trends adjustments from pricing to model development. The objectives of operations are in keeping the company working towards the same goal, even though, the organization's objectives for business innovation enterprise is still the core initiative.

When you're in the thick of the semester, you feel like you're slogging through. It just seems to drag on and on and there are clear indicators of it.
1) Half the class is missing.
My Computer Science class has 500 people enrolled in it. Half of them attend the 9.05 AM lecture and the other half attend the 11AM lecture. I attend the 9.05 one. At the beginning of the semester, when I would walk into the lecture hall at 9 AM, almost all the seats would be taken, except for a few at the back. These days, I can walk in at 9.10AM and find a seat in the front or middle of the hall.
2) Coffee sale goes up.
One day, I slept at 4.00AM and woke up at 8.00AM. I had a Math class at nine that morning. I was worried about being too sleepy and maybe falling asleep in class. But I when I went to class that day, several other students looked just as exhausted as I was. Many of them had coffee cups at the corner of their desks. Around mid-semester, most people seem to replace sleep with coffee.
3) The word prelim is everywhere
In class, the professor might remind you of the number of days to the first prelim. Then you will hear about prelims at the dinner table, in the bus, in the bathroom, in your Physical Education class. And of course, in the library and maybe even in your dreams. Prelims have infiltrated every conversation.
Then your knight in shining armor aka fall break comes to save you!

Plant Physiology
Questions asked in Section - C of CSIR-NET December 2014.
Q103. Light is crucial for plant growth and development. Following are certain statements related to photoreceptors in model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
A. Among the five phytochrome genes, representing a gene family, PHYB plays a predominant role in red- light perception.
B. Cryptochromes are involved in the regulation of flowering time and hypocotyl length.
C. phyA photoreceptor is predominantly involved in far-red light perception.
D. The LOV domain of phytochrome C (PHYC) is important domain for signal transmission.
Which one of the following combinations of above statements is correct?
1. A, B and C 2. A,C and D 3. B,C and D 4. A, B and D
Ans (1) This question is part of Photosensory Biology and this is an advance area of research with many facets still emerging. Infact in Delhi University south campus, Plant Molecular Bio. Dept., a lot of research is being conducted in lab of Dr. Khurana.
But the perplexing part is that this topic is either not taught in most universities in India or teachers just skip it superficially....because to have clarity in this topic, one has to take the pain of going through many research papers as well as advance books........which is rarely seen now days.
Infact students are not even aware of names of different photoreceptors and their locations in the cell....
Light is an important signal which regulates plant development.....and we call it Photomorphogenesis. The receprots for light are called Photoreceptors e.g
Phytochrome........present in cytoplasm
Cryptochrome........present in nucleus
Phototropin...........present in plasma membrane
Zeaxanthin (a pigment which serves as receptor, recently discovered)........present in plastids
Protochlorophyllide-a..........present in plastids
Discussing the entire topic here is not possible.......in classroom programme it takes us multiple lectures involving many hours to justify this area....and no question shall skip our teaching.
Phytochrome is a red and far-red light photoreceptor.......present in two interconvertible photochromatic forms i.e. Pr and Pfr, Pr absorbs red light and gets converted to Pfr form which is said to be physiologically active form of phytocphrome and Pfr absorbs far-red light and converts to Pr......Phytochrome is present in cytoplasm............it is made up of two components:
1) A light absorbing part called Chromophore (synthesized in plastid)
2) Polypeptide chain called Apoprotein (synthesized in cytosol)
Phytochrome infact is a light activated dimeric protein kinase........they get autophosphorylated by light and it is an enzyme i.e. serine/threonine kinase. In cytosol it exists in inactive Pr form............upon absorption of red light chromophore part undergoes conformational change..........which induces a change in apoprotein also.....thus converting Pr form to Pfr form...........In the Pfr form, the NLS, nuclear localizing signals are exposed thus Pfr shuttles to nucleus..........where it phosphorylates regulatory proteins including transcription factors.........thus modulating gene expression.
In Arabidopsis 5 different genes for phytochrome have been discovered i.e. PHY-A, PHY-B, PHY-C, PHY-D & PHY-E....and these have been grouped under two different classes i.e. Type-1 & Type-2 phytochromes.
Type-1 includes Light sensitive form (i.e. Pfr is unstable) e.g. phytochrome encoded by PHY-A.
Type-2 includes Light stable form (i.e. Pfr is stable) e.g. phytochromes encoded by PHY-B, C, D, E.
Genetic studies have revealed that Phytochrome-A & Phytochrome-B have contrasting roles in plant development...........Phytochrome-A is the photoreceptor involved in far red light whereas Phytochrome-B mediates responses to red light or white light..............i.e. choice A & C are correct.
Cryptochrome were first discovered in Arabidopdis.......but later found in various organisms e.g. cyanobacteria, algae, Drosophilla, mice and humans........Cryptochrome is a blue light photoreceptor located in nucleus and encoded by cry-1 & cry-2 genes.
Cryptochromes mediate several blue light responses e.g.
Inhibition of hypocotyl (stem) elongation
Anthocyanin (are pigments responsible for colour of flowers) prodduction
Flowering induction
Regulation of circadian clocks
promotion of cotyledon expansion
membrane depolarization
Choice 'C' says Cryptochromes are involved in the regulation of flowering time and hypocotyl length.....so it is a correct choice.
Studies have indicated that protein degradation and phosphorylation are important steps in signal transduction of cryptochrome.
They also mediate blue light responses........and are responsible for
Phototropic movement of plant towards blue light.
Chroloplast movements in a cell.
Leaf expansion.
They are localized on plasma membrane and are encoded by phot-1 and phot-2 genes.
C- terminus half of phototropin is a serine/threonine kinase whereas
N-terminus half contains LOV domains i.e. light, oxygen and voltage domains. LOV domain binds FMN and undergoes blue light dependent autophosphorylation..............the downstream signalling beyond receptor is not clear as of now.
Choice 'D' says The LOV domain of phytochrome C (PHYC) is important domain for signal transmission..........is a wrong statement as LOV domaind are present in phototropins and not phytochromes.
So choice A,B & C are correct options and choice D is a wrong one, so answer is
1) A,B and C.

Alright, so those of you that gave to the Kickstarter at the > $50.00 range probably have noticed you haven't received your art prints yet.
Here's how they turned out! (Sorry for the bad lighting, I am not a photographer!) No logo on these because we wanted to show off Maki Naro's beautiful art! People will ask "where is that awesome art-print from?" and you will say "Why it's from Ruin of the Reckless, silly!"
The above picture really doesn't do the prints justice, they are super glossy and look really good in person.
They are already signed and ready to go; we will be sending them out this week, so you should be receiving them soon. Just a note; if you were supposed to receive a Skullslime or a Ratcoon and have NOT received it, please contact us at email@example.com so we can sort you out. Once we send out these art prints we will have delivered all of the merchandise promised during our Kickstarter campaign, so that will be a big milestone!
Version 0.9A
Version 0.9A has been completed and pushed to steam. This version of the game is feature complete, there is nothing 'missing' from this build making it a good approximation of what the final game will look like. Please note, this does NOT mean the build is error free. We will be asking our backers and supporters to please run through the new build and see if they can ferret out whatever remaining issues there are. Here is a rundown of what's new in this build…
Character Specific Endings
The big addition here is the character specific endings. I'll warn you guys in advance that if you beat the game with the 'BABY' chaos card equipped you shouldn't expect to get the 'full' ending that you would otherwise. We're fine with some people getting this painful surprise, but not you, our blog-reading die-hards. As for the 'normal' endings, I won't spoil too much here! These endings will teach you a lot more about the world of Ruin of the Reckless than you knew before. I hope we get a chance to explore this universe a bit more with our upcoming games!
Herbal Potions
Herbal health potions get more expensive the more you buy.
We have added a special 'herbal healing potion' . This item only (and always) appears inside the shop. It will heal one hit point, and you can buy it repeatedly. Each herbal health potion costs more than the last one though, so it's an easy way to heal one or two health at each shop but more than that can get pretty expensive.
We think this mechanic will play nicely in to the 'risk-reward' theming of the game, as well as give players a bit more leeway in their decision making with regards to health.
Bug Fixes
Lots of little buggies fixed in this version when compared with 0.8. Here's a shortlist…
Fixed an error that caused Dino Slimes to behave incorrectly near items. Fixed an error that caused Dino slimes to become 'stuck black' under certain rare circumstances.
Fixed (hopefully) all remaining wall tile errors in dungeon generation.
Fixed (hopefully) an error that caused the mid-boss fight to fail to start under certain rare circumstances.
Gave Stella her own 'death sound'
Fixed a depth sorting error that caused coins to sometimes disappear 'behind' walls.
Fixed an error that caused sword storm to sometimes generate invisible swords when Vampires casted it.
Fixed an error that caused certain visual glitches when Golems were present.
Fixed the timing on various weapon start-ups and lags.
Fixed an error that caused an unsightly 'pushing boxes' error when ratcoons touched boxes.
Fixed an error that caused players to be unable to pick up items that were too close to Ace Blade.
Updates to final boss fight and 'The Builder' enemy.
Fixed an error that caused shockwaves to have an incorrect hitbox (that nobody noticed this WHOLE time, somehow…)

The crust held up pretty well and was not too crumbly. The potato on the top was creamy and and the minced beef within was flavourful.
This year's Halloween theme from Starbucks featured two versions of a green tea and chocolate combinations, and that gave a fresh taste from the previous "bloody" or greyish outlook. For that, the Franken Green Frapp-boo-ccino (right) seemed more appealing than the Midnight Chocolate Frapp-boo-ccino (left), as the former was a green tea base with a chocolate whipped cream on top, and vice versa for the latter.
Of course, both drinks came with this white chocolate topper in the shape of a ghost. Be prepared to break open the cup cover to retrieve the choc if you would wish to eat it. Not only that, but the beverage had also reflected a lack of novelty, given that this was probably the third drink within the year that used green tea and chocolate as the main ingredient.
After trying this drink, I thought I could have gotten more satisfaction from a Green Tea Frappuccino with added Java Chip for a self-proclaimed better combo.
Someone need to try & share first although this is still quite early for the mooncake season! 🤗 Gooey, sweet with coffee flavour and nutty texture. One of us like it & would buy this again. If you look for bolder flavour, gotta try more! 😜
P.S. #nosponsor #buytryandjustshare
This wrap actually looks and smells a lot better than what's in the display cabinet. I took a few whiffs of this after it was heated and it smelt so yummy!
There's a generous amount of scrambled egg whites, but just because they're egg whites don't mean they're tasteless. Coupled with the red peppers for an explosion of taste - slightly spicy in certain mouthfuls and mild in others, and mushrooms that add extra texture and earthy flavour, I like this wrap a lot. It is a rather clean meal, but perhaps might be better improved with some greens. Also, the wrap comes with a layer of melted cheese that just makes everything that much better. Totally would buy this again for breakfast or a light meal!
The Strawberry Cupcake Frappuccino was a blend of strawberry sauce, chocolate chips, ice, vanilla syrup and milk, topped with whipped cream and strawberry drizzle. This drink also happened to be the Valentine's Day special, given its pinkish appearance.
But at S$7.90 for a Tall-size cup, the drink turned out to be a bit of a diluted strawberry milk alike taste, only to be saved a bit by the savoury bits of what reminded me as a cookie crumble texture, but that was about it. Given the same price, a Java Chip Frappuccino would have tasted way better.
This is probably a more intense version of Mocha Frappuccino, with addition of dark cocoa, refreshing mint and java chips. People who enjoy chocolate mint after a meal will probably like this drink.
But if you were to ask me, I had actually asked for additional (read: free) java chips for that extra yummilicious chocolate bits, making this drink so much more enjoyable.

With this being a no race weekend, my mind is haphazard and all directionless. Quite disjointed. It is also very alive and cantankerous. Smiling inside, to itself, making me jab my finger into the ribs of my friends, and people who've I've come in association with. A bit cruel, but I chuckle.
The work week ended with a nice Greenscreen shoot.
Overhead diffusion, bounce board, flags, sandbags, the basic tools of my trade.
Done with the job a bit early, gave a treat feel to the day, and it was hard to stop myself from adding more bottles to the shopping cart.
Nothing specific cross wise, but I was provoked by a Fred Carrot. Gave chase, and passed.
as I came back around the hole blurred into view.
all I thought of was don't case it, and up and over in the air, I cleared it.
To marchianos, to get phillies-ed up.
They are selling shirts from a card table in front of the shop for $5.
Got one for Anthony and met him for a beer,
We cleared our heads of some of the real cantankerous problems in our current lifes.
Cheers'ed and each of us headed on our way home to watch the game.
I rode back to the hole I jumped, to take its picture.
I was disappointed, it was a gap, but very ride-able, there was no need for me to jump it.
cheers, I'm keeping my hands on the back of the world and trying to push it forward, a pawl.
your pawl, d.lowe
