Right in a big city like New York or Los Angeles? Try Kabul, where it's considered a crime for a woman to be seen in public with a man she is not engaged, married or related to. The stakes are shockingly high and the reality harsh: most girls born in Afghanistan will be married off as teenagers to men they are either related to or have never met. If a woman dares to spend time with a man privately, she could end up in jail, charged with the moral crime of "intending to have pre-marital sex. So when year-old Frough Azizi and her boyfriend of two years broke up recently, the heartbreak was all the more bitter because of the risk that went into having the relationship in the first place.

The dating game is fun but the thrill of flirting and meeting lots of different women loses its appeal extremely quickly. She defends you no matter what you do or say and she is always your number one supporter. Her dad approves. Any problem of yours, she will automatically treat as hers even if it would otherwise not have directly affected her. If you see her in pain then you would, without hesitation, rather be feeling it instead of her. She puts up with your bad habits. Sometimes she will even join you in a post meal belch or a downstairs scratch. She is happy to look her worst in front of you. And you still find her beautiful.

I hear American girls are nice. Most of my international friends here in Madrid think owning a car in the city is insane — or at least unnecessary. Spanish girls: their idea of a hot date is making out on a bench all afternoon.

This application claims priority to U.S. application No. 60/703,548, filed Jul. 29, 2005, entitled "Device/Human Interactions, such as in the Context-Aware Environments," which is herein incorporated by reference.
Computers and computing devices are finding their way into more and more aspects of daily life. For example, computing devices are found both inside the home (e.g., personal computers, media devices, communication devices, etc.) and outside the home (e.g., bank computers, supermarket checkout computers, computers in retail stores, computer billboards, computing devices relating to providing commercial services, computing devices in cars, etc.). Most of these computing devices have mechanisms that allow them to interact with humans and/or the environment at some level. Aspects of the way that computing devices interact with humans are sometimes referred to as a "user experience." For example, a human's satisfaction with a computing device interaction (or sequence of computing device interactions) may be based, at least in part, on the richness and/or productivity of the user experience. In addition, various aspects of the environment (including the physical environment) in which the computing device operates to interact with humans may play a role in shaping the user experience.
The technology described herein facilitates the electronic presentation of information (e.g., information that is more traditionally associated with posters, brochures, and product signage) to one or more users within an environment. Electronic presentation makes it possible for the information to be presented interactively. The technology includes a display component (e.g., public display screen) that displays or otherwise presents content to users within its vicinity. In addition, aspects of the presented content or additional information related to the presented content can be streamed to a user's personal device (e.g., PDA or smart cell phone). Aspects of the technology may include a user detection component that can be used to detect the presence of a user in a specified vicinity of the display and, optionally, a content selection component that can be used to identify targeted/customized content to present to users.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an environment in which aspects of the interactive display technology can be implemented.
FIG. 2A is a block diagram showing details of a customer identification component of the user presence detection/recognition node of FIG. 1.
FIG. 2B is a block diagram showing details of a customer location tracking component of the user presence detection/recognition node of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3A is a display diagram showing a view of a display provided in accordance with an embodiment of the display technology.
FIG. 3B is a display diagram showing an example of interactive consumable media that allows users to interact with and/or take away content using a personal device.
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram showing a routine at display that allows a user to interact with and/or take away content using a personal device that interacts with the display.
FIG. 5 is a flow diagram showing a routine at user device that allows a user to interact with and/or take away content initially displayed via a display.
FIG. 6 is a flow diagram showing a user identification routine.
Providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment is important in many contexts, including commercial contexts, civic contexts, educational contexts, etc. For example, in commercial and/or corporate contexts, enhancements in wireless networks and employee mobility may allow customers, clients, and employees to interact in more comfortable lounge-like settings without the need to be tethered to desks or cubicles, while still maintaining communication abilities.
One way to facilitate such an environment is through the use of display technologies, such as streaming interactive media that provides information more traditionally associated with posters, brochures, and product signage. For example, such display technologies can be used to replace posters and large-scale printed graphics in a variety of environments. The display technologies may have interactive aspects. For example, the display technologies can react to changes in the surrounding environment (e.g., the approach of a user) and/or stream to a user's personal device where the user can interact with aspects of the display technologies.
The following description provides specific examples of techniques that can be used in association with one or more computing devices to increase the richness and productivity of user experiences. While the description provides some examples in the context of a bank branch, the techniques described herein are not limited to banking contexts and, rather, can be applied in any type of environment associated with computing devices, including environments associated with other commercial activities besides banking, home environments, environments at sporting events, retail environments, manufacturing environments, workplace environments, customer service environments, entertainment environments, science or research environments, educational environments, transportation environments, etc. Depending on the environment, increasing the richness and productivity of user experiences in accordance with some embodiments may improve customer retention, increase the value of individual customer relationships, reduce costs, result in higher sales, drive sales to new customers, and provide many other personal and/or commercial benefits.
I. Sample Environment
In general, any of the computing devices described herein may include a central processing unit, memory, input devices (e.g., keyboard and pointing devices), output devices (e.g., display devices), and storage devices (e.g., disk drives). The memory and storage devices are computer-readable media that may contain instructions that implement the system. In addition, the data structures and message structures may be stored or transmitted via a data transmission medium, such as a signal on a communication link. Various communication links may be used, such as the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network, a point-to-point dial-up connection, a cell phone network, and so on.
Embodiments may be implemented in various operating environments that include personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, programmable consumer electronics, digital cameras, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and so on. The computer systems may be cell phones, personal digital assistants, smart phones, personal computers, programmable consumer electronics, digital cameras, and so on.
Embodiments may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, executed by one or more computers or other devices. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, and so on that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Typically, the functionality of the program modules may be combined or distributed as desired in various embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a sample environment 100 in which aspects of the interactive display technologies can be implemented. The sample environment 100 includes at least one display 102 and personal device 104 controlled by a user 106. Communication between the display 102 and the personal device 104 is facilitated by data connection, which is most likely a wireless data connection such as infrared, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, etc. Another type of connection, however, (e.g., a wired connection or fiber optic connection) may be used.
The display 102 may include a CPU 108 to perform processing, a memory 110, a content storage component 112, a content selection component 114, a streaming module 116, an audio/video component 118, a network module 120, a connectivity port 122, a display screen 124 (e.g., LCD, plasma, projector screen, etc.), and audio features 126. For example, the user 106 may consume presented video content via the display screen and/or audio features and then receive a stream of select content at his or her personal device 104. Accordingly, like the display 102, the personal device 104 may include a connectivity port 130 and a streaming module 134, as well as a user interface 132, a CPU 136, I/O features 138, memory 140, etc.
The display 102 may include and/or communicate with a user presence detection/recognition node 128, which identifies users (known or unknown) and provides information allowing the display 102 to behave in response to the presence of users within its environment. For example, based on information provided by the user presence detection/recognition node 128, the display 102 may wake up from a sleep mode when a user enters into the vicinity of the display 102. Similarly, the display 102 may present information that is specific to a user, based on the identity and/or preferences of the user being known. Various technologies may be used to implement aspects of the user presence detection/recognition node 128.
In some embodiments, the user presence detection/recognition node 128 communicates, e.g., via a network 142, with a remote content server 144 that has access to both a user profile database 146 (which stores user profile information for known users) and a content database 148. Accordingly, based on identifying a known user (e.g., a user having profile information stored in the user profile database 146), the remote content server 144 may serve user-specific content for presentation at the display 102. The user profile database 146 may also store information about a user's response (e.g., favorable, unfavorable, ignored, etc.) to information presented at the display 102. Even if the exact identity of the user is not known, the remote content server 144 may be configured to use information about unknown users to serve specific content. This information may include information about the number of users approaching the display (e.g., whether it is a single user or a group of users, a couple, a family, an adult and a child, etc.), information about the recent past locations of the user or users, etc. For example, if the user presence detection/recognition node 128 detects that a couple is approaching the display 102, the remote content server 144 may use this information to serve display content that is intended for display to a couple (e.g., an advertisement about a vacation to a romantic getaway). Alternatively, if it is likely that a family is approaching, the remote content server 144 may use this information to serve content that is intended for display to a family (e.g., an advertisement about a vacation to Disneyland). In another example, if the user presence detection/recognition node 128 is tracking the location of a user within the environment and can ascertain that the user has performed certain activities based on his or her route through the environment, the remote content server 144 may use this information to serve appropriate content (e.g., if the user just came from a cash machine, the user may be interested in viewing advertisements for financial products).
Sample details of the user presence detection/recognition node 128 of FIG. 1 are depicted in FIGS. 2A and 2B. In particular, FIG. 2A is a block diagram showing details of a customer identification component 200 of the user presence detection/recognition node 128, which allows customers to be identified, for example, in a retail setting (e.g., store or bank), and FIG. 2B is a block diagram showing details of a customer location tracking component 250 of the user presence detection/recognition node 128, which allows a customer's location to be tracked, for example, in a retail setting.
In some embodiments, the customer identification component may interface with one or more devices or technologies to allow the interactive display technologies to determine the identity of users (e.g., customers in a retail setting). Examples of such devices/technologies include RF ID 202; personal device identification technologies 204 (e.g., based on unique signal transmitted by personal device); card readers 206 (e.g., configured to read magnetic strips on personal identification cards); bar code scanners 208 (e.g., configured to read bar codes on card or other item); DNA analysis technologies 210 (e.g., configured to determine identity based on available DNA samples from skin, hair, etc.); graphonomy technology 212 (e.g., configured to determine identity based on handwriting or signatures); fingerprint/thumbprint analysis technology 214; facial analysis technology 216; hand geometry analysis technology 218; retinal/iris scan analysis technology 220; voice analysis technology 222; etc.
Many of these technologies/devices function based on having a user register and/or voluntarily provide initial information (e.g., name, biometric information, affiliations, etc.) so that a user profile can be generated. In this way, the user can be identified as soon as the user's presence is subsequently detected within the environment (e.g., by collecting information for each user who enters the environment and then matching this information to find specific user profiles). However, such an initial registration process may not be needed in all cases to generate a user profile. For example, a user profile for an unnamed new user may be initially generated and updated based on collecting available biometric (or other information) for that user, assigning a unique identifier to the user (e.g., an ID number), mapping the unique identifier to the available biometric (or other information), and then subsequently tracking the user's activities within the environment.
Referring to FIG. 2B, the customer location tracking component 250 of the user presence detection/recognition node 128 allows a user's location to be tracked as he or she performs activities and/or moves about an environment (e.g., a retail store, bank, library, hospital, etc.). Examples of some of the location tracking devices and/or technology that the customer location tracking component 250 may employ (either alone or in combination) include WiFi technology 252; audio sensors 254; pressure sensors 256 (e.g., to detect contact with a device or area of the environment); device activation technology 258 (e.g., related to other machine or device in environment, such as ATM, work station, computer, check stand, etc.); cameras 260; location triangulation technology 262 (e.g., image based); heat sensors 264; motion sensors 266; RF ID sensors 268; GPS technology 270; vibration sensors 272; etc.
Tracking the user's location and activities within the environment may further control what type of content is to be selected for display to that user, as well as providing more basic information about when a particular user is approaching a display. For example, if a bank customer is approaching a display after having recently made a large deposit into her savings account using an ATM, it may make sense to display content associated with an offer for a new investment opportunity that the customer may potentially be interested in based on the fact that she recently made the deposit.
II. Sample Display Technologies
As illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the display technology allows digital signage solutions to replace static printed media (e.g., traditional posters and signs) to provide enhanced imagery and streaming solutions for product promotions, up-to-the-minute information (e.g., news or financial information), and any other information that customers may be interested in (e.g., public notices, schedules, event information, safety information, alerts, announcements, etc.). FIG. 3A is a display diagram showing a view of a display 302. In some embodiments, the display 302 is interactive at several levels. For example, the display 302 may change as it senses that a customer is getting closer (e.g., by providing more detailed information in smaller print that the customer is now able to read). In this way, information providers (e.g., advertisers or institutions) are able to provide a much richer set of information and services to their customers that can be updated throughout the day, much like a news web site.
In another example, the display 302 is configured so that displayed content streams can be split into multiple channels, allowing users to view content on their own devices and/or take content away with them, much like a take-home brochure, as shown in FIG. 3B. In some cases, the take-away content is automatically streamed to the user's enabled personal device as soon as the user enters the vicinity of the display 302. In other cases, the user actively requests to stream the content to his or her device 304.
In some embodiments, the content streamed to the user device 304 is a subset of the displayed content (e.g., a single user-selected screen). Alternatively, the streamed content is an expanded version of the displayed content, which, for example, allows the user to take home more detailed information than what is initially displayed. For example, a displayed advertisement for a restaurant may, when streamed to the user's device, provide a detailed "menu view." In another example, the streamed content allows a user to purchase a product or service from his or her personal device and/or learn more details about select products or services. For example, when a user streams information related to the "Ready for that vacation?" advertisement shown on the display 302 to his or her personal device 304, the streamed information may include options to view details about different available vacation packages, select a desired vacation package, and even make reservations using an interface provided in association with the personal device 304.
In addition to allowing the user to interact with aspects of the displayed content (e.g., select from multiple options, play a game, provide personal information, request more information, etc.) at his or her own personal device 304, the display technologies may also facilitate allowing the personal device 304 to provide information back to the display 302 after the user interacts with aspects of the content. For example, the display 302 may stream aspects of a game to be played on the personal device 304. When the user has completed a game, information from the completed game may be exported back to the display 302 so that the display 302 can publicly present the user's score (or other information associated with the user interaction).
As discussed in more detail above with respect to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the display 302 responds to received profile information for customers in its vicinity and, based on this profile information, provides the most relevant information. For example, banks may use this display technology (along with wireless/wired networks that support real-time content updates) to vary their display-based offerings throughout the day.
Providing interactivity may also involve allowing users to interact with the displays using their own devices (e.g., to leverage multi-cast support). For example, the display may be configured to interact with an application on a user device so that application can, at least to some extent, control the behavior of the display. To illustrate, the user may be able to flip through screens on the display by using controls on his or her mobile device, make selections of options presented on the display, etc.
III. Representative Flows
FIGS. 4-6 are representative flow diagrams that show processes that occur within the system of FIG. 1. These flow diagrams do not show all functions or exchanges of data but, instead, provide an understanding of commands and data exchanged under the system. Those skilled in the relevant art will recognize that some functions or exchanges of commands and data may be repeated, varied, omitted, or supplemented, and other aspects not shown may be readily implemented. For example, while not described in detail, a message containing data may be transmitted through a message queue, over HTTP, etc. The flows represented in FIGS. 4-6 are high-level flows in which the entire transaction is shown from initiation to completion. The various entities that may be involved in the transaction are also depicted in FIG. 1 and include components of the display 102 and components of the personal device 104, as well as components of the user presence detection/recognition node 138 and remote content server 144.
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram showing a routine 400 performed at display (e.g., such as the display 102 of FIG. 1) that allows a user to interact with and/or take away content using a personal device that interacts with the display. At block 401, the routine 400 detects a user presence in the vicinity of the display. This aspect of the routine 400 may be performed by a user presence detection/recognition node that may be a component of the display or that may be in communication with the display. Details of detecting user presence/identity in the vicinity are described in more detail above with respect to FIG. 1. At block 402, the routine 400 identifies content to present to the user. This content may be stored locally at the display (e.g., in a content queue). Alternatively, the display may query a remote content server for content to display. This query may include information about the user (e.g., information concerning the identity of the user if known, information about the number of users approaching the display as a group, information about the current context of the user approaching the display, information about recent activities performed by the user in an environment, etc.). In response to the query, the remote content server sends appropriate content for display or, alternatively, sends an indication of content stored locally at the display.
At block 403, the routine 400 presents content to the user, which may include audio content, images, movies, or other visual content, or a combination of content using different media. In some embodiments, visual content presentation abilities may be based on display technologies such as those associated with flat panel displays (e.g., liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), field emission displays (FEDs), etc.), active matrix displays, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs), 3D displays, electronic paper, microdisplays, projection displays, etc.
At block 404, the routine 400 streams content to a device associated with the user. This content may be interactive content (e.g., content that provides user selectable options) or may be static (e.g., purely informational). With interactive content, the user can interact with the content on his or her device, which in turn may (or may not) affect the content on the display. The routine 400 then ends.
FIG. 5 is a flow diagram showing a routine 500 at user device that allows a user to interact with and/or take away content associated with content initially presented via a display (e.g., a public display). At block 501, the routine 500 receives information from the display (or, alternatively, from a streaming center located in or near the display). In some cases, the receipt of this information is initiated by a user selecting a specific option to receive streaming content from the display. In other cases, the receipt of this information is initiated simply by moving the (compatible) user device within a streaming area/range associated with the display. The stream containing the received information may be continuous (e.g., lasting until the device is removed from the streaming area/range) or intermittent (e.g., a finite transfer of information that occurs as a result of a user action, such as selecting a user option to receive the information or approaching the display).
At block 502, the received information is presented on the user device. For example, the user device may present a small version of an advertisement that was initially presented on the larger display. At block 503, the routine 500 responds to user interaction with the information presented on the user display. For example, in the case of the advertisement, the user may have the option to view details about aspects of the advertisement using the I/O features of the user device. In another example, the user plays a take-away mini game. At block 504, if appropriate, the routine 500 streams interaction results back to the display. For example in the case of the mini game, the user's game results may be streamed back to the display so that they can be presented on the display after the user has completed the game. In another example, the playing of the game itself may be presented on the display so that other patrons in the area can view the game play. The routine 500 then ends.
FIG. 6 is a flow diagram showing an example of a routine 600 at a content selection component that facilitates identifying a user e.g., to enable the selection of custom/targeted content for presentation to that user. At block 601, the routine 600 receives an indication of user presence (e.g., an indication that a user has entered the vicinity of the display or, more generally, that a user is present for identification). At block 602, the routine 600 receives input for use in identifying the user (e.g., input collected via the technologies described with respect to FIG. 2A). At block 603, the routine 600 performs a user profile lookup (e.g., database search) based on the received input. At decision block 604, if there is a user profile match, the routine 600 continues at block 605. Otherwise, the routine 600 proceeds to block 606 (create new user profile) or, alternatively, ends. At block 605, the routine 600 outputs information about the user's identity (e.g., for use in selecting targeted/custom content to display to the user). The routine 600 then ends.
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that specific embodiments have been described herein for purposes of illustration, but that various modifications may be made without deviating from the scope of the invention. Although the subject matter has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that the subject matter defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features or acts described above. Rather, the specific features and acts described above are disclosed as example forms of implementing the claims.

Amazing setting and superb service and meal
9 January 2016
This was a special treat for my daughters 16th birthday - she had never been to a fine dining restaurant so thought it would be a great experience. We arrived early and had cocktails/mocktails in the piano bar, this room has a lovely ambiance. Taken through to the dining room and seated and immediately served hors d'oeuvres. A beautiful cup of parsnip soup came between the starters and mains too, and we all picked a desert. The food was exceptionally good, I especially like the venison. As usual the presentation adds to the enjoyment of the meal. All waiting staff were very attentive. We asked to go back to the piano bar after the meal and special thanks to Fabricio who organised a 'happy birthday' cake to be brought to the table for my daughter. A most enjoyable evening.

A delicious lunch served impeccably in the elegant surroundings of this beautiful old mansion, in extensive parkland with its huge mature trees. As always, gourmet-class menu, at a reasonable price, with a glass of wine, coffee and chocolates included. Who could ask for more?
19 August 2015
Decadent dishes in a beautiful dining room. Worth coming to for a special treat - there is no option for individual a la carte dishes so you have to order the full set menu for dinner.
14 August 2015
A real delight from the wild-flower meadow in front of the elegant mansion to the delicious lunch on the Best of British menu. Attention to detail excellent on all levels. Any drinks not included in offer very expensive as expected in those surroundings.
27 March 2015
A beautiful hotel in a lovely location with stunning views. From the moment you arrive you feel special. The dining room was nicely laid out with lovely views across the gardens. The staff were attentive and friendly. The menu had a good choice. The food was displayed with elegance and tasted lovely. Will go back and can understand why they have a Michelin Star they deserve it

Michelle @michelle1021
Hi Cazza. Insecurity is an inner feeling of being threatened or inadequate in some way. We all have felt like this or shall I say feel like this sometimes. But while it's quite normal to have feelings of self-doubt/insecurities once in a while, chronic insecurity can sabotage your success in life and can be particularly damaging to your intimate/normal relationships. Insecurities means a poor self esteem. With us P sufferers its a normal thing to to have a poor self esteem but it is also up to us to change that. Don't let small things get you down. Trust yourself to know that no matter what the other person does, you will take care of you. YOU is what matter. Once you start putting trust in yourself, the insecurities, doubts, confusion and over thinking will fade. Stay positive my girl and you will see how the world will change for you. :)
Cazza @caroline1996
Thank you everyone for showing me that I'm not alone as I though I was. Sorry it took me so long to reply... things just got worse for me and I had to take time away. But seeing all this has given me the boost that I needed!
Michelle @michelle1021

Inside the roller rink, the myriad of colourful lights glow faintly, dancing and flickering in their electric brilliance, while the music sets the mood with an upbeat rhythm. Altogether it creates a family friendly atmosphere of joviality and sheer, unadulterated fun. The Lioness of Philadelphia, one Leona Gainsborough fought doggedly to convince the Game-Changer of CWF, Zach van Owen, to put the woes of the CWF and his career behind for at least a night. Eventually she succeeded on her persuasion roll and brings her conflicted boyfriend to the rink for an evening together.
It seems to be working. The Zach skating beside her, hand-in-hand, with his wide eyes and even wider smile, is not the Zach she has seen as of late, beleaguered by concerns for the livelihood of the wrestling promotion and his own perceived failures. No, this is the Zach she always remembers. Fun, care-free, and innocent. Laughing the couple come together in the centre of the rink, holding each other tightly, yet tender, and begin to spin in place. Around and around, building speed as the lights surrounding them become little more than bright blurs. The other party-goers also fall out of focus, their visages shifting amongst the panorama. Strangely all the colours seem to undulate into green and black. Perturbed Zach tries to take better stock of those around him. He is shocked to see the faces of the strangers now all wearing the familiar facemask of Impakt, his original alter-ego when he first joined the CWF. The Impakts circle around the couple and draw in closer...and closer...until they are all but upon the two.
Leona screams.
Zach van Owen awakens with a start, his body dampened by perspiration. It takes him a moment to realise he isn't on a date with Leona in a roller rink, that is in fact merely a dream. In reality he is in bed next to his partner in the [hotel]. Somehow Leona manages to remain asleep. Looking at her, Zach's guilt grows. If not for him she wouldn't be involved in his mess. Yet another of his mistakes. Slowly, as not to awaken Leona and add on to her worries, Zach climbs out of the bed, throws some clothes on then heads out to the bottom floor bar and restaurant, finds himself a quiet corner table and order his usual Health Potion (also known as a simple glass of water). One would think, for all extents and purposes, things are going pretty well. Zach has advanced into the semi-final round of the Modern Warfare tournament and he still remains the Impact Champion, but the nagging question on his mind is...at what cost? What is he losing to continue his fraught crusade to save the CWF Universe and what is he prepared to do? The list for both seems to be growing with each passing day.
"Your gonna need something a little stronger to get you through THOSE thoughts clouding your mind..." The Demon of Sobriety, friend and fellow stablemate within the Forsaken, Dorian Hawkhurst joins Zach at the table.
"Dorian? It's a bit contrived that'd you'd be awake at the same time, AND in the same hotel as me...talk about a linear plot..."
Dorian shrugs with a bemused smile.
"I could always leave you know."
"No, no. Sorry, with everything going on at the moment I'm always expecting some twist or turn that would put Hideo Kojima to shame. What's got you up at this hour anyway?"
There is a pause as Dorian orders his own drink, a strong mug of coffee.
"Shit ain't right."
A simple statement, but one that has Zach feeling both selfish and sheepish. He's been so preoccupied he's neglected his friends and allies within the Forsaken and hadn't considered they might also be dealing with their own shit.
"Have you spoken to Shadow lately? That whole mess with Cheshire and the World title got me rethinking things." Dorian elaborates.
"I was hoping I'd face him in the final of the tournament. Figured I'd learn the truth in the ring."
The Demon of Sobriety nods in agreement.
"That ain't all. Things're changing, and I don't reckon its for the better. After my loss to Tax I can't help but feel more and more helpless. I know you see kit, but you at least got something going. Semi-finals and all."
"Yeah..." Clearly Zach isn't convinced, "I'm not sure if I'm even doing the right thing. I feel like I'm just button bashing out there and getting damn lucky each time. Sure I beat Clyde Walker and Eli Goode, but it doesn't feel like the Main Quest. Either I'm not doing enough, or I'm doing the wrong thing. Let's be real here, what you reckon are my chances against Dan Ryan? As far as experience and achievements are concerned, Dan's about unlocked them all. He's wrestled all over the world, run his own company...He's built like the consummate tank, able to take the hits without even flinching. I pale in comparison to a player of that calibre. I'm not sure my skills as a DPS are gonna cut it this time. How could a kid like me even possibly stand against Dan Ryan. I'm Sonic without any rings, Popeye without any spinach, and I'm afraid Dorian. And vulnerable."
There is clear pain and regret on the face of the Game-Changer and Dorian's paternal instincts kick in. The Demon wishes he could embrace this lost child and reassure him that everything would be alright in the end. However, that is far from the truth. This is something that Zach needs to overcome.
"It never used to be like this. It used to be all fun and games. But now it's round, after round, after round of a different fight each time. And no even knows, or cares, of the constant threats to the CWF."
"You're right about one thing. It's only ever going to get harder, but only cause you're becoming more powerful, stronger with each level you surpass. So don't count yourself out against Dan just yet. He's accomplished, but not perfect. I can guarantee he You see things differently than the rest of us, you're looking at the bigger picture through a series of Quick Time Events. You said it yourself, this is more than just a tournament."
"But I can't even keep the Impact title belt safe, how can I dream of protecting the entire CWF."
"This Injustice League of Kreese and Xander are a right bunch of pricks. That's for sure. But their playing a waiting game. They want you to come to them. So make them wait. Finish what you started with this tournament, and then when the time is right...Boom! The pricks are gone. You dealt with them once, you'll make them pay again."
Having finished his mug of coffee, Dorian stands up and puts a reassuring hand on Zach's shoulder. The Game-Changer, having long since finished his water, has been toying with an empty glass the whole time.
"Well we ain't gonna solve these problems sitting on our arses in the early hours of the morning. The world is far from perfect, there are no black and whites, but we have to keep pushing those buttons...keep fighting the good fight. That's what separates the heroes from the average Joes. Don't write yourself off against Dan Ryan just yet yeah kiddo? You've come along way since you debuted, leveled up alot and I'd wager you're gonna give that veteran a real run for his money. Make him work every second for that victory."
Zach tries to force himself to cheer up.
"He does prefer a slower, more grounded play style. I guess I could overwhelm him like I have those of a similar ken with my speed and unpredictability. Hit him with seven different kinds of smoke."
"That's the spirit."
"This tournament is my Rainbow Road, and any misstep is gonna cost me dearly. But I have to remain true to the course, to my promise. Dan may very well have me trounced in every aspect, but that was then, when he was playing on the Atari. Here in the CWF we're PS4! This federation is under my protection. I have the drive to win and I'll not falter. Not now, not when I am so close!"
"Just promise me one thing. You return to bed and hold that girl of yours tight. Embrace the good things that you have in your life. Don't let the evil consume you, else you'll find some things far worse than addictions to drugs or alcohol. Regardless of the outcome of the tournament and your beef with Xander, you take some time. Take a step back. It's always good to aim high and have goals. But you gotta figure out if the sacrifices are worth it. And if by chance you decide it is, then you know where to find me. You, me, Leona. We're a different breed and we Philadelphians had best stick together."
With one final gentle pat on the back Dorian takes his leave and the young Impact Champion watches him disappear from view. After taking some time to consider Dorian's words, and his own options, Zach eventually excuses himself from the table and returns to his hotel room where a roused and unimpressed Leona awaits, concerned by his absence upon her waking. Without saying anything Zach falls into her arms and blocks everything else out. Then and there he makes a silent promise to do as Dorian asks. If not for himself, then for those he cares most about.
Sometimes even the strongest of heroes needs some time to recover.
Meanwhile across the street from the hotel, looking up in the vague direction of Zach and Leona's room is an individual with what looked to be a gold plated championship belt cradled in their arms. The spy had been present during Dorian and Zach's entire conversation, watching in nefarious glee.
Soon the chance will come for payback, and boy was it going to be sweet.

Drug Development, Reimbursement, and Regulation
- SchoolDuke University, The Fuqua School of Business
- FormatOnline
- All dates August 26 - September 9, 2020
- Duration 3 weeks
- Price $1,000
- CategoryHealthcare
About the course
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry is complex, not just because of the science, but also because of changing reimbursement practices and regulatory policies. If your organization engages with drug discovery or development at any stage of commercialization, you need to be aware of and understand changes to reimbursement or regulation and their implications for your firm.
Given the industry's complexity and interdependencies, familiarity with only part of the biotech and pharma industry is not enough for success. Managers involved with drug discovery need to understand what comes after drug development, including whether payers will cover the product and whether providers will adopt the product. Drug makers, payers, providers, regulators, investors, and consultants in this space will find that gaining perspective on interlinkages across the industry enables you to add more value to your stakeholders, and ultimately to your bottom line, through your strategic plans, your drug development operations, your new opportunity identification, etc.
Who should attend
This program offers a broad perspective of the issues surrounding the identification and introduction of new drugs, which will be useful to:
- Mid to senior-level health care leaders who either work in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals or interact with those who do.
- Within biotech and pharma, those occupying roles in strategy, marketing, R&D, product development, sales, government affairs, and business development.
- Leaders who have recently switched careers into health care, consultants with health care clients, scientists and MDs who want to commercialize a drug, and health care investors.
Please note that instructors are subject to change and not all instructors teach in each session of the program.

I love to read the Washington Post newspaper, because they gave us Woodward and Bernstein and Ben Bradlee and, I suppose, Garfield comics. I guess that I've seen Garfield a few times in my day. He loves lasagna or something, I don't know. While I have yet to laugh once at the antics of the cranky feline, I know many people love him enough to have had a Garfield phone in their house. Yes, kids, there used to be phones in houses connected to the wall, and you couldn't roam the house or the mall talking on it. And often, instead of a phone looking like a phone, people chose to talk into a phone that looked like Garfield or Mickey Mouse or Spiro Agnew or other cartoon characters from the past.
So, according to an article in the Post, people residing in beach areas of northwestern France have found pieces of yellow plastic Garfield phones washing up around their dunes.
I mean, for real, it's been going on since the 80s, and the beach cleaners would pick up his face or his bulgy eyes or a yellow cord. Many inventive French people waited until they collected all the parts to make their own sandy Garphone, I'm sure.
Claire Simonin-Le Meur is president of the environmental group Ar Viltansoù, and she told Post that she has spent years picking up the phone parts, not because she liked the oddly-hued cat, but because she is concerned about the environmental damage the ocean could suffer from all that plastic.
For years, they feared that perhaps a shipping container, or even an entire ship, had sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic, and that an endless stream of ugly yellow catphones would continue to be served up from Davy Jones's locker.
But the big break in the case came earlier this year when Simonin-Le Meur met a local farmer, René Morvan.
She was on the beach picking up Garfparts. He was walking along speaking French, part of which involved him asking her if she were "looking for Garfield."
(This is the point where the story sounds like a spy movie, with Meryl Streep and Raphael Fiennes.)
"Come with me," the man told her. "I can show you."
Morvan wove a story involving him and his brother finding a metal shipping container wedged into a cliff by the beach, a container filled with the phones.
Morvan took Simonin-Le Meur to the cliff, and showed her that when the tide came in, the container would be awash with seawater, which would disgorge its load of cheap phones as the tide went out.
It turns out that the "Téléphone Garfield" is now the symbol for oceanic junk all over the seven seas. Most of the original cargo is gone from the container, but the whole sorry episode demonstrates the problem of worldwide pollution.
The French environmentalists hope that having a cartoon figure will help interest children in the movement for a cleaner earth.
It might work! In America, a cartoon camel got children interested in smoking cigarettes.

How to shop for the perfect t-shirts for men
Posted by Newclothing on December 21st, 2017
A t-shirt is every man's favourite item of clothing. It is simple and straightforward. Most men don't like thinking too much when it comes to dressing up and that is why a t-shirt is the perfect wear for the guys. It is no surprise then that, this humble garment has been the default piece in every man's closet for the longest time ever. In fact, what the lads tend to do is buy t-shirts in bulk and not worry about their clothing needs until the lot wears out.
If you're one of these guys who prefer to keep their look as fuss-free as possible and not waste too much time stopping by shopping malls to buy your essentials, then online shopping destinations like VoxPop is just the place for you. There's just so much variety here that under one single umbrella all your shopping need are fulfilled. Whether you're looking for basic tees, full sleeve tees, shirts or polo t-shirts online India, VoxPop has the answer to all your needs. The best part is the online store provides you with the best pop culture merchandise. From superheroes to movies and music bands, the stunning graphic artworks are all there for the taking. Among these Game of Thrones t shirts for men and women are one of the most popular choices.
So coming back to men's t-shirts, even though they are extremely effortless, there are some factors that you need to keep in mind while wearing them. Like the fit of the t-shirt, for example.
The right fit
A t-shirt that's too tight that it looks like it's one step away from a tear is a complete turn off if you ask the women. On the other hand, a t-shirt that's too loose looks good only on hip-hop stars. Some of the standard measurements are that the seams of the tee must rest on the edge of your shoulders, the length should be long enough to be tucked in, which means it can end just below the below the belt, and if it's a half sleeve t-shirt then the sleeves should never end below the elbow. To make sure you're buying a tee that fits to the T, check the size guide and get the measuring tape out to measure yourself. A little effort can go a long way.
The right fabric
Another important thing to consider is the quality of the fabric. Plain and basic Cotton t-shirts for men are always the most comfortable. They are also the most durable. Alternately, you can also go for cotton and polyester blended fabric. These fabrics are easy to maintain since they tend to be either wrinkle-free or crease less that other fabrics. Additionally, they are more affordable than other materials.
The right colour
Colour is also an important aspect, when it comes to shopping for t-shirts. While it's true that colours like black, white and grey match with anything, bright popping hues should not be shied away from. Go and have some fun with reds, greens, yellows and blues. Plus, the graphic prints at VoxPop add to the already vivid tees. You really wont regret this.Also See: T Shirts, T Shirt, Too Much, Thats Too, Shirts, Shirt, Too

Book 1 of The Trouble With Brothers
Historical Romance
Masquerade balls are notorious for their fun, adventure, and opportunities to anonymously step a toe slightly over the line of societal correctness for an evening, and Lady Anna Ashworth has dreamed of attending her first for years. A chance encounter, a light flirtation, a dance that's a bit too close, and the next thing Anna knows she is alone with her mysterious knight allowing him far more liberties than she should ever consider. But when the masks come off at midnight, her dream becomes a nightmare as she realizes her admirer is none other than one of her brother's closest friends.
Parker Albany, Viscount Morely, despises society affairs and is known for his wild and rakish ways, but a masked ball provides an opportunity for a chance encounter. However, when he realizes who the mysterious woman is that has caught his attention, he reacts badly by scolding her for allowing him to seduce her.
Something about Lady Anna will not leave his thoughts, and he finds himself torn between what he thinks is right and what he knows he wants. But Anna is not so forgiving over his brutal set down. Can Parker ever make her absolve him of his behavior?

Rating a book 3 stars is always difficult for me. Every time I have mixed feelings for a book, I rate it 3 stars. I cannot give it more, because I had some issues with the characters and with the story. But it's not bad either. I actually liked it and it helped me get out of my reading slump.
Let's start with the pros. I love the idea of protective brothers and best friends falling in love with the sister. The way the two realize their attraction to one another is fun to read about. The beginning pages were fun, I must admit. The banter between all our characters is great, even the way the brothers make fun of one another, without realizing that soon, each will follow in the other's footsteps.
Unfortunately, I did not like Anna. Her reactions in different scenes of the story were contradictory and her constant running away from problems made me tired. I do have my issues with Parker as well – at some point, he becomes too desperate for a man of his…experience with ladies. So my main concern when it comes to this novella is in regard to the characters.
I apologize for being a little vague with the action, but the story is quite short and I am tempted to spill out all about it.
Despite my dislikes, I enjoyed my time with Viscount Morely and Lady Anna and I do plan on reading all the stories in the series, especially James'. So 3 stars for now, but I am hoping I'll be able to give more for the other ones. Happy Reading!
