The Country Day High School senior cheerleaders who taught nine unwilling, blindfolded freshmen how to perform oral sex did not commit a felony, according to police and state laws.
The incident was not legally a sexual assault because the five older girls likely derived no sexual gratification nor did they intend for the freshmen to be gratified from sucking on condom-covered bananas, smearing white mashed banana on the younger girls' mouths while they were on their knees or rubbing the fruit on the younger girls' bodies.
Had the girls intended their actions to be sexual, it would have been a felony.
But, neither they, nor the boys they invited to watch, exposed their genitals or touched those of the freshmen, although the girls were told they were feeling penises.
At least one boy moaned just before the older teens rubbed the banana into the girls' faces.
"It is boorish behavior," said former U.S. Attorney Donnie Dixon. "Just disgusting. "But I'm having trouble bringing it into focus on any criminal statute."
The unwelcome touching is at most misdemeanor simple battery, he said.
Georgia's sexual assault laws require a showing of sexual gratification or some sort of sexual intent on the part of the assailant.
Without consulting the district attorney's office, the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department concluded its investigation into the Aug. 4 incident, which took place on the dock down the street from one of the senior girls' homes. Her parents were inside the house, according the detailed, four-page report. One of the names of the seniors was released but none of the names of the victims, nor any parents were released.
No charges will be filed, police spokesman Bucky Burnsed said. None of the nine victims' parents wanted to pursue criminal action. Officers gave the parents information on how to press charges if they change their minds. If they do, Chief Assistant District Attorney David Lock said the case would be reopened.
In the report, Sex Crimes Investigator Sgt. Harry Trawick said: "I respectfully request that the police department defer to the wishes of the nine sets of parents who do not wish to prosecute and close this case by services."
The report quotes Country Day Headmaster Thomas Bonnell saying the victims' parents plan to pursue a civil lawsuit.
Police also cleared Bonnell of any wrongdoing in failing to report the incident to police.
The school's attorney could not be reached for comment due to a family emergency.

Wansford Early Origins
Suffolk at Wangford (St. Peter), a parish in the union and hundred of Blything or at Wangford (St. Denis) another parish in the union of Mildenhall in the hundred of Lackford. A census in the late 1800s, listed 818 inhabitants for Wangford (St. Peter) and only 46 inhabitants for Wangford (St. Denis.) Wangford dates back to at least the Domesday Book where it was listed as Wankeforda and literally meant "ford by the open fields" from the Old English words wang + ford. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Hence, conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the lands of Wangford, held by Richard Fitzgilbert from the Abbot of St. Edmund's. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]

Wansford Spelling Variations
Wansford Spelling Variations
Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Wansford family name include Wangford, Wangforth, Wankforth, Wankford, Wangfurd, Wangforde, Wankforde, Wandsford, Wandesford, Wandisford, Wansford, Wainsford and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Wansford family to immigrate North America: settlers were recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Florida, and to the islands..

Last month's meeting of federal, state and territory government leaders serves as a reminder that politics is a roadblock to logic.
Setting aside the issue of getting our national economic settings right in terms of tax revenues, many opportunities exist for the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) to act upon simply because no logical reason exists in maintaining piecemeal legislation that allows impediments to remain across major industry sectors.
Most would acknowledge the standardisation of building regulations in the construction industry, by adoption of a National Construction Code to be a logical improvement. BCA 96 allowed evolution toward a performance-based rather than prescriptive model of building regulation for construction works carried out across Australia. Some minor deviation remains by way of some state and territory provisions, but there is no doubt that its implementation to replace an array of inconsistent local building rules, by-laws and ordinances was a logical improvement. Its primary objective in achieving a national standard for the health, safety and amenity of building occupants and users can be regarded as a significant achievement in creating a better built environment for Australia.
A similarly standardised approach to establishing common qualification levels and work license categories of persons who seek registration as professional builders throughout Australia should have been the next logical step. Surely a national approach to qualifications and licensing standards required by builders who are expected to interpret and apply NCC requirements would be complementary in helping to achieve those same NCC objectives? So why did government abandon a rationalisation of disjointed and incoherent state based systems of training and accreditation?
In 2014 the National Occupational Licensing System (NOLS) was quietly dumped. COAG claimed problems with a standardised model could not be resolved without costs for state and territory governments. A lack of stakeholder consensus on the benefits of creating a standard licensing model was given as a factor in the decision. Whatever the reason, capitulation in the face of the logical move toward improving construction standards by seeking uniformity across state and territory based licensing and training requirements was a retrograde moment for building construction in Australia. So perhaps the description of the COAG meeting as a Premier's 'Retreat' is appropriate.
"It's just too hard" is not a plausible explanation. The current levels of disconnect with regulations associated with licensing of builders across Australia makes it hard to understand why a standardised solution was abandoned.
Some states choose licensing options only for residential building works. Others have progressive classes of building licence to cover all building classifications and types of construction. Formal training requirements for licensing purposes vary enormously from a basic Certificate 3 level in carpentry or bricklaying trade courses to holding undergraduate degree qualifications from an Australian university. Active intervention to abolish these irregularities and qualification anomalies flourishing across Australia's states and territories should have been prosecuted by COAG rather than simply 'retreating' away from the corrective actions needed to remove such inconsistencies.
Media reports from COAG focused on NSW Premier Mike Baird's role as the leading proponent of an increased GST to address future revenue shortfall. Given the significant economic role that the building construction sector plays in both the NSW and Australian economy, revisiting the National Occupational Licensing System for builders would have been a far more realistic and beneficial objective.
With NSW the engine room of many of Australia's major construction projects, the Premier may be surprised to learn that his state is seen as being at the bottom of the heap in respect of how it regulates and manages its current builder qualification and licensing regime when compared with other states. And it's set to get a lot worse with adverse impacts arising due to the rapid commoditisation of vocational training course offerings and qualifications linked to building construction roles and licensing. The bar is being significantly lowered in respect of creating a highly trained and well qualified workforce for the future. It will inevitably be detrimental to consumers and users of all residential, commercial and industrial built environment assets necessary for our sustained growth.
It may not have grabbed a headline like a proposed 15 per cent GST did, but standardisation of the training requirements and qualifications for builders combined with graded licence accreditation under a National Occupational Licensing System is an urgently required reform for Australia's building construction sector.
Brett, we may have missed the boat. Construction is now a global business. Australia is increasingly incorporating innovative new construction systems and materials fro overseas. Some are a problem, most are not. Our parallel challenge is the domestic effects of construction contracts passing on responsibility, lack of single point accountability for design and specifications, tick the box QA, she'll be right certification and a advocacy for lowest compliance levels.
Solving this is now beyond our State or National governments or standards bodies to solve without becoming part of what's happening globally.
While regulations will play a role in the background a new approach to delivering the industry's customers a better deal is needed. My own view is that the contract performance, conformance and delivery underwrites must be re-aggregated and be purchased on a project or program basis by a single party. It would be possible for the underwriter to rate each party to the value chain to determine risk and premium. This incentivises better outcomes. The laggards could continue to use the minimum standards tools. The leaders will see the opportunities to do better in a global market.
Absolutely spot on.
In a country of 20 million odd, it is ludicrous that we are still acting like the eight different countries of Australia when it comes to occupational licensing. To be doing so is simply childish. Let's grow up as a nation and get one set of consistent rules.

Critical pedagogy incorporates inclusive and reflective teaching for aims of social justice; it provides mechanisms for students to evaluate their social, political, and economic standing, and to question societal norms and how these norms perpetuate societal injustices. Teaching librarians have long incorporated social justice into their work, but focused interest in critical library pedagogy has grown rapidly in recent years.

Dragons have been a part of several cultures throughout history. From European mythology to ancient Chinese folklore, the dragon has always been there to enthrall lovers of fantastic creatures. People in Chinese culture worship the dragon in hopes of rain and good harvest weather. The dragon is considered a representation of supernatural powers in Japanese culture. In most Asian cultures, dragons represent a mixture of strength, power, courage and wisdom. In contrast, most European folklore portrays dragons as evil, destructive creatures that must be destroyed.
A dragon tattoo can be just as rooted in looks as in symbolism, however. Many people get tattoos of dragons just because they look cool. There really is no arguing with this logic because dragons do look amazing. As mythical creatures, their appearance is open to interpretation, which means there are endless possibilities. This free range also allows for a variety of colors and shading.

I remeber a topic on here from the first UTL game where there was a picture of the crowd that you could zoom in and find yourself in it, then tag yourself.
Has anyone heard of a similar picture from this years game?
Thank you and GO BLUE!!!

Women's Skirts
From kicky and casual to sleek and sophisticated, a few good skirts are wardrobe must-haves. But how do you decide which looks to stock up on? Pay attention to cut, length, fabric, and color or pattern. Skirts made of cotton and denim are durable and easy to clean for frequent wear. Those made from more delicate materials, such as silk or linen, might require dry cleaning, making them more suited for work than play or every day. If your body is somewhat rectangular in shape, look for flared skirts that add a bit of volume and create curves. Pear-shape women with fuller lower halves will likely find A-line skirts most flattering. Women with hourglass figures -- hips and shoulders about the same width with a well-defined waist -- can wear nearly any skirt cut.

Was just watching Numenta's research meeting of May 10, in which Jeff talks about object representations on top of temporal memory (box 2): https://youtu.be/etSNEYeC01Q?t=5m12s
Is there any more info on how that works? It may be the missing link in my understanding of the hierarchical bit, because if you have some aggregation over time into a stable pattern, you would have a representation of a sequence right there. If you feed that to the next TM, you can recognize sequences of sequences, at which point you can climb to arbitrary levels.
Very curious to find out more on that topic
Also: why does it feed into the TM? I would say it should be the result of the TM, not?
I think I read somewhere that they're working on a write up. Have you seen the cosyne poster? There's a thread with it. https://discourse.numenta.org/t/published-talks-on-cortical-columns-yet/1952
I think that this role is filled by temporal pooling.
This is an interesting read, although I'm unsure if there is any newer information available.
You can see implementations in nupic and nupic.research.
I'd think it is bidirectional. The TP learns stable sequences from TM, and TM uses knowledge about the current sequence in TP to improve prediction on the current step. Unsure if it is actually implemented that way though.

Reliability and rationing cost in a power system
The present paper attempts to analyse the implications of the relationship between reliability and rationing cost involved in a power supply system in the framework of the standard inventory analysis, instead of the conventional marginalist approach of welfare economics. The study is substantiated by fitting a normal distribution to the daily internal maximum demand of the Kerala power system during 1995-96, and also by estimating, based on the techno-economic parameters of different types of power plants, the rationing costs implied in different reliability target criteria.

I have nothing but respect for what BioWare developed with the ME franchise. It's clearly a stunning achievement in interactive storytelling and depth of gameplay. But I just can't get into it as a player. I tried playing ME2 and got so bored. Admittedly I didn't give it a whole lot of time, but I just didn't have the patience for it to get...I dunno, riveting. Then I played the demo for ME3 and the framerate was so choppy it was making my head hurt.
But I do understand why people like it and I hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Lovers of the grape discovered far-reaching health benefits as a result of drinking the odd glass of vino, when local independent co-op society, Chelmsford Star held a Fairtrade Wine-tasting Evening on 2nd March. It was revealed that, amongst other benefits, drinking Fairtrade wine in the UK allowed struggling communities overseas to build hospitals and schools, and better support themselves.
The ticketed event held at the Quadrant department store, and attended by the Mayor of Chelmsford, Councillor Patricia Hughes and a number of dignitaries from the Chelmsford City Fairtrade Campaign, presented testimonials from farmers in Argentina, South Africa and Guatemala showing the positive effects switching your chosen brand of bottle can have - with purchases of Fairtrade options allowing the villages it was grown in to build education facilities, buy ambulances, employ doctors or even cover farmers with health insurance.
Owner of the Essex Wine School, Neil Bull, took the audience - made up of a wide range of ages and backgrounds - through sampling six varying wine varieties, and well and truly busted the myth that fairtrade brands were somehow inferior to their counterparts.
"Wow, the co-op sparkling muscado rosé was simply gorgeous," said one attendee. "It's my new favourite, and I can't wait to share a few bottles with my girlfriends this weekend. Even better, I can feel chuffed that I'm doing my bit just by buying it!"
"These wines have won numerous awards, often beating non-Fairtrade alternatives," said Chelmsford Star's Head of Marketing & Membership Kevin Bennett. "They don't cost any extra in our stores either, so there really is no reason why people can't benefit a struggling community every time they purchase a bottle of wine, or any of the dozens of different types of Fairtrade product we stock. Choose Fairtrade!"
The event was held at Chelmsford Quadrant, currently celebrating its 150th birthday, and took part within Fairtrade Fortnight (27th Feb – 12th March), during which organisations all over the world are highlighting the benefits of Fairtrade."

Ohio State running back signee Ezekiel Elliott never intended on being the focal point of a panic attack. Neither did offensive tackle Andy Bauer (St. Louis/De Smet) or running back Markel Smith (St. Louis/St. John Vianney), two 2014 standouts.
While the three football stars may have little in common, they share two major details:
They are three of the best college football recruits the St. Louis metropolitan area has to offer. And whether they want to believe it or not, they are why Missouri Tigers fans are beginning to question the program's loyalty to recruiting -- and sometimes over-recruiting -- the greater St. Louis area.
Missouri didn't land Elliott back in February, and Bauer and Smith both have committed to and decommitted from Missouri. Bauer is currently pledged to Ole Miss, while Smith, who informed Mizzou of his choice to decommit Sunday, remains undecided.
Because of these recent developments, some followers already are comfortable with the notion that keeping the area's best close to home is a puncher's chance, if that. Some of the high school coaches in St. Louis, however, feel the apprehension is premature -- particularly when anything can happen from now until next February, when the Class of 2014 players sign their national letters of intent.

Miami Hustlin' with the League of Extraordinary Coworking Spaces
When in Miami, do as the Miamians do. But if the gravity of work pulls you off the beach, you needn't go kicking and screaming. The aptly-named League of Extraordinary Coworking Spaces (of which Workbar is a member) gives coworkers in partner locations access to a network of shared office spaces around the globe. If you're traveling (for recreation, vocation, or even health) and need a workspace, consider this your passport for international coworking.
LExC (pronounced "lek-see") describes itself as "the world's first serious, experienced network of coworking spaces." On a tropical Monday, I used my "passport" to cowork in Büro South Beach, one of four Büro locations in Miami.
Despite the swirling wind and Miami Vices, when one is in Büro, one does as the coworkers do. Here's what it looked like:
Workbar operates seven coworking locations in the Boston area (Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Arlington, Norwood, Brighton, Danvers) and several other network partner locations throughout the state.

Skip to comments.KPRC Huston Channel 2 Investigates Dead Voters. Includes video
Posted on 10/18/2008 8:47:52 AM PDT by april15Bendovr
Local 2 investigates dead voters.
The push to register voters for this year's presidential election is breaking records.
More than 1.9 million people are registered to vote in Harris County alone.
But how many of the people listed on the voter roll are actually eligible to cast a ballot?
Investigative reporter Amy Davis shows you how hundreds of voters could sway this year's election -- voters who are not even alive.
"All-in-all, a great person, a great woman, just a wonderful person" is how Alexis Guidry described her mother to Local 2 Investigates.
"As far back as I can remember, they've always voted in the election," Guidry said of her parents.
The March 2008 Primary was no exception. Voting records show Alexis' mom, Gloria Guidry, cast her ballot in person near her South Houston home.
"It was just very shocking, a little unsettling," said Alexis Guidry.
It's unsettling because Gloria Guidry died of cancer 10 months before the March Primary.
"She'd be very upset," Guidry said when asked what her mom would think.
Trent Seibert, of Texas Watchdog, says you should be too.
"This is really disquieting. It's concerning. It's worrisome," said Seibert.
He heads up the non-partisan news group on the web.
Texas Watchdog compared Harris County's voter registration roll with the Social Security death index and found more than 4,000 matches -- registered voters that, it appears, are already dead.
Some of them, like Henderson Hill's late wife Linda, voted postmortem.
"I would like to know who did it, myself," Hill told Davis.
We don't know who used Linda Hill's or Gloria Guidry's IDs to vote, but we do know if their names had been purged from voter rolls after they died, using their IDs wouldn't have worked.
"This is a red flag. No matter where you are, this should set off alarm bells," Seibert said. "Someone needs to take a look at this."
Local 2 Investigates took the information to the Harris County Voter Registrar.
"We just kind of work with the systems that we're allowed to," explained George Hammerlein, the director of Harris County Voter Registration.
The county's system for culling deceased voters from the roll seems painfully primitive.
We watched employees clip obituaries from the newspaper and sort through probate records for names matching those on the roll. But, Hammerlein says while fraud is a concern, for his office, disenfranchising voters is a bigger one.
"We do all we can, but you know we'd rather err on the side of leaving people on the roll instead of taking them off inadvertently," he said.
But could that cautious "better safe than sorry" standard sway an election some say will be a close one?
Texas Watchdog found 4,462 registered voters who appear to be deceased.
In 2000, George Bush won the presidential election by a mere 537 votes in Florida.
"We've never had any evidence there's a concerted attempt at fraud," Hammerlein told Local 2.
But there is evidence the state agency in charge of ensuring only eligible voters can vote is not.
The State Auditor's Office conducted an audit of the voter registration system at the Secretary of State's Office last November.
Auditors identified 49,049 registered voters state-wide who may have been ineligible to vote. Approximately 23,576 may have been deceased and another 23,114 were possible felons. And they found more than 2,359 duplicate records.
The auditor did not find any instances in which potentially ineligible voters actually voted, but they wrote, "Although the Secretary of State's office has processes to identify many ineligible voters and remove them from the State's voter registration list, improvements can be made."
Almost a year after this audit, we wanted to know if the Secretary of State has made any improvements. Have they added any safeguards to the process?
No one from that office would talk to us on camera, but the Director of Elections told us, "We'd rather err in leaving someone on the roll than taking someone off."
"If there's something wrong here, if there's something amiss, this is the worst election to have that happen, "Seibert warned.
And Guidry agrees.
"I don't think it's a matter that she would take lightly," she said of her mom.
In what she calls an historic election, Guidry says her mother wouldn't want anyone speaking for her.
"I think she would definitely do all that she could just to make sure things were on the up and up."
We sent the information we showed you to the Director of Elections in Austin. She said her office refers any credible allegation of election fraud to the Attorney General for investigation.
She said the cases we presented would be felony violations.

This is a legal crime, but it's a moral crime too.
MISTAKE - Change title to ".....Investigates Dead DEMOCRAT Voters".
Once you destroy the faith in the integrity of the political system, the rest of polity comes tumbling down. We become no better than a banana republic with rigged elections and a political elite. The political fabric of the country is torn apart.
I'm shocked that such a thing would happen in Houston.
They should also investigate the dead people that are still collecting their Social Security checks every month.
The two party system:
Party 1) Endorses moral concepts
Party 2) Claims there is no right or wrong
How can election officials, who in many cases belong to one side or the other, be equally as competent? One party strives for fairness and the other doesn't believe in right or wrong. Public Accountability is the only only answer. Everything must be in plain sight.
They never did mention a political PARTY that these known dead folks had their votes cast for.
To me, that says DEMOCRAT. Surely, if these corpses votes had gone Republican, it would be the FIRST thing out of the reporters' mouths.
IF they even checked, (and that's a big if) I call BS on this. Prove it! Let an independent, non-governmental firm do the audit!
The fact is that neither the D's nor the R's have any interest in truly honest elections. They are called POLITICIANS for a reason!
Let's see, thousands of Katrina "victims" moved from N.O. to Houston. A connection? Nah!
Channel 2 in Houston is KPRC, not WPRC.
It would be interesting to see what region has the highest percentage of registered dead voters (I'd bet on New Orleans myself).
This brings up another question...can dead folks count on the census just as well? We are already counting non-citizens...so I don't see why we couldn't count dead voters just as well.
Another article on vote fraud under George Hammerlein:
Does anyone know his party affiliation? I can't seem to find it with google. I presume he's a Democrat.
Who ever voted deliberately tried to steal the election, not just a dead persons' vote.
How to stop this? Maybe ask LBJ?
Thanks for the correction

John Briley
Jump to
An American writer who went to England to work for the U. S. Air Force in the mid-1950s and stayed on after his tour, John Briley is best known for writing the screenplay for "Gandhi," the 1982 epic which earned him an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Briley's first writing was actually in public relations for General Motors in his native Michigan. It was not until after her rejoined the Air Force in 1955 and was sent to England for five years as director of orientation at a base there that he took up writing full-time. Briley was a staff writer with MGM in Elstree, England, from 1960-64, through which he earned his first screenplay credit when he co-authored the adaptation the Norman Collins novel "Invasion Quarter" (1961). In 1972, he wrote "Pope Joan," which starred Liv Ullmann in the fact-based story of a woman who disguised herself as a man and became head of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1978 came "The Medusa Touch" with Richard Burton as a man who wills the death of others. But few of Briley's screenplays became acclaimed films before "Gandhi" (1982), which he followed with "Enigma" (1983), a thriller starring Martin Sheen as an agent out to stop five crack assassins from killing five Soviet dissidents. In 1987, Briley wrote the script for "Cry Freedom," the story of a South African newspaper editor who is moved by Steven Biko to lobby against apartheid and then must free the country. Briley also produced with Richard Attenborough, who had hired him to write "Gandhi." The following year, Briley wrote "Sandino," about the Nicaraguan leader who fought American imperialists in the 1930s, and in 1992 came "Christopher Columbus: The Discovery."

Lou Reed, 1989 New York Tour shirt.This is a great shirt, super soft and well worn. The fabric is super thin (it's about 20 years old) no holes that I can see but definitly some wear. The silkscreen is fading and cracked but words and pictures are all still visible (see pictures). I hate to get rid of this shirt, but it doesn't fit me anymore and it's been hanging in my closet for a while now. I'm guessing it's size- Medium, the tag has been cut off so I'm not sure, but it fits like one. Please pay for shirt within 5 days of the end of auction. If not paid for within 5 days the item will be relisted or second chance offered. I've unfortunatley had a problem with people not paying or waiting over a week to do so.

Jimjilbang Reviews
38 reviews
staying the night in a sauna - everything you need at a very low price. Dec 18, 2010
Jimjilbang is a phonetic translation of the Korean for a very expansive local sauna. You can sleep the night on beds provided at many of these for a small extra fee. As the locations are baths, and many Jimjilbang also have televisions, DVDs and various other entertainment options (even food), they can be the best bargain accommodation option on offer in Korea. Prices start at around 8000 Won for the night, but are more typically around the 15000 won mark.
I wouldnt recommend this every night (you dont get much privacy), but it's a hell of an experience as a one off. If you want to find a Jimjilbang, look for a sign on the street featuring squiggly lines rising above a circle. This is the standard sign for these locations. Go reasonably late, it's usually possible to use 'sleep' gestures to explain to the staff what it is you're after. While you're at it, why not try a 'cupping' treatment (vacuum suction against the back using glass cups) as an extra quirk? Fantastic stuff.

With Sonic and Mario in the spotlight again, Bubsy takes another swipe at being a lovable mascot, but doesn't succeed in capturing the same sentiment. Ultimately, Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back (Bubsy), the platforming game, arrives as the two-decades-too-late 5th entry in the series. Despite excellent controls, the title does not overcome some of its more pressing shortcomings, such as level design, resulting in a sub-par gaming experience.
Educating the public about mental illness is important, but a problem inherent in accurately portraying depression is that, well, it isn't fun to be depressed. Indygo skillfully builds a gloomy atmosphere: The voice acting, music, black and white art style, and narrative all work together to convey the disconnection and emptiness a person suffering from depression can feel. You may come away with a better understanding of depression by playing, but if you're looking for entertainment along with your education, you will be disappointed.
Ayo shares with its audience a sincere message encapsulated by game, and continues the progression we have seen recently of video games used as a vehicle beyond the immediate capacity for 'interactive entertainment.' Despite a clunky camera and some problematic puzzles, this platformer boats a solid foundation, with promise of several hours of enlightening fun.
The concept is great and the execution is far from bad, but there is room for improvement. The maps are rich and make each game feel incredibly singular and flustered in a different way. But, the weapons feel weak and movements feel awkward. There's much potential and excitement to be had in Deceit, and even more screams and scares.
A Hat In Time has grasped the title of the highest-earning 3D indie platformer ever funded on Kickstarter, and it's no stretch of the imagination to see why. The story, the play, the graphics, everything it has instills in gamers one of the most comforting and thrilling nostalgic experiences in recent game development history. This platformer is itself a perfect modern game, with all of the classic staples players know and love, rather than being just an old game made in the present day; in a world of constant evolution and innovation, few things are as comforting as a nice easy blast from the past.
While it is respectable that Syndrome VR attempts to pay homage to some of the best titles in the sci-fi survival horror genre, it neither distinguishes itself with new ideas nor does it improve or even match the elements it lifts from these titles. Its campaign is filled with backtracking and padding, and when anything of significance happens, this, too, is let down by poor stealth and shooter gameplay. Furthermore, the tacked-on VR mode is not up to the industry standard and doesn't justify the higher price. The most hardcore fans of the genre may be able to overlook many of its flaws, but as it stands, there are much better options out there.
Tauronos promises an intriguing story, but since running out of lives forces you to start your journey again from the beginning, few players will have the patience to persevere and experience more than a fraction of it. Even so, the perfectly fitted aesthetic supports a minimalist but hardworking narrative, guaranteeing that players who grow frustrated enough to walk away still do so with regret.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar combines the classic turn-based RPG with action-RPG elements. This fun twist to the traditional RPG divisions enhances gameplay, strategy, and character customization. Despite a slow start, this title surely becomes more engaging and a quick favorite for RPG enthusiasts.
Inmates grabs you right off the bat and starts yelling in your face: you are screaming and afraid, but at the end of it all, you'll probably tell your friends that they need to come over and get yelled at, too. Besides the game world being well designed, and the sounds making you check over your shoulder every few minutes, the creativity, the puzzles, and the story offer an experience that is to die for.
The experience of The Norwood Suite is incredibly unique, each design choice, be it of the musical or visual arts, very much reflects Cosmo D's style. The world in which you play feels well developed and full, but not cluttered, keeping you on the path of the game, but not on rails. The Norwood Suite — along with their first release, Off-Peak — are two games worth the effort and confusion.

The People Have Spoken: Locals Share Their Thoughts On Legal Marijuana
- Written by Francis Flisiuk
- Published in News
Mainers approved of a legal recreational marijuana initiative last year, but by a slim margin: just over 4,000 votes.
Clearly, there wasn't unanimous support for legalization in this state, and even amongst pro-legalization folks, there were some reservations about the language in the bill.
So I asked a number of Mainers about their thoughts on the current version of Maine's Marijuana Legalization Act, and the approved moratorium on retail sales along with it.
Were people excited? Surprised? Angry? Too stoned to care? Here's what a completely random sampling of locals had to say on the matter:
James Jameson – Portland
"The big concern for me is, why are they extending the moratorium before they even started drafting the laws. It's like asking for an extension before you've even started the homework, nine months before it's due."
Scott Gagnon – Gray, Certified Addiction Prevention Specialist
"I do have deep concerns about the impact of the new marijuana law on children and teens in Maine. Throughout the campaign, we noted the many issues in the marijuana law that expose youth and communities to significant risks. The under 21 loophole for possession was one, but frankly, there are many others. On January 30, possession and home grows go into effect. The home grows in particular, if not regulated and enforced well, will absolutely create more access for youth. The Legislature must act quickly to give municipalities and local law enforcement the power to deal with these as they see fit to protect the health of youth and communities. My coalition will be monitoring the impacts of the new marijuana law very closely. We must remember, half of Maine said "No" to Question 1. We owe it to them to be the watchdogs as this moves forward and to do the best that we can to prevent Big Tobacco 2.0 from compromising the health and safety of our communities."
Kaitie Welch – Portland
"I feel like if eighteen-year-olds are responsible enough to sign themselves into the armed forces, then they are responsible enough to smoke marijuana."
Tom MacMillan – Portland
"I am glad that voters approved Question 1 in November and disappointed that the Legislature feels justified in delaying and rewriting what the voters passed. Real democracy is in short supply in Maine and the United States these days."
Nathan Shea – Brewer
"I'm actually pleased that the law has passed, even though it has faced some hurdles and shops are being delayed for a year. I really don't understand all the fear around it. I traveled to Portland, OR, recently and saw one of the marijuana shops. It was set up like a high-end boutique shop, you had to wait at the register before you can go in. The shopkeepers were friendly and professional and helped you get what you wanted. They knew the difference between THC and CBD and its effects on the body."
Louis Sigel – Gardiner
"I am extremely happy that marijuana is legalized both recreational and medical now. I got signatures on the petition November last year and actively campaigned for Question 1 this year and I testified against LD 88 which was just passed on an emergency basis to delay certain parts of the Marijuana Legalization Act. I testified against a moratorium on marijuana sales and production in Gardiner and applied to be on the task force to make recommendations to the City Council on local marijuana policy. I do not have any major concerns except that there will be those in power trying to postpone or procrastinate about the implementation of the legalization."
Nicholas Dunlop – Dresden Mills
"I don't think it's fair that you've got to have private property to grow and think it shouldn't be up to a landlord. Laws made it so only seniors and rich people can grow; I think the whole thing is a huge scam. I voted No on 1 because I read the bill and it's just going to slowly screw over good regular Maine people, so I don't consider it legal. I'll consider it legal when you can grow in an apartment with the sun and without anyone bitching about it."
Craig C. Dorais – Portland, University of Maine Law Student
"My only concern is that there will indeed be more people harmed than not by increased Marijuana use. I voted for the measure but did so with significant trepidation. However, the efforts to delay the ballot initiative taking effect are completely out of line. For good or ill, the people have spoken, and the law they voted on should stand and not be hindered in any way."
Robert Doyle – Poland
"LePage just wants to empty his black market warehouse stash onto the market first!"
Brad Littlefield – Springvale
"I believe the law violates Federal Law by placing a damper on local investment due to the forfeiture laws of the federal government. Any property that is used in production and distribution of drugs can be confiscated, people who manufacture, sell and distribute marijuana under Federal Law will be unable to purchase weapons. Enhanced marijuana should be prohibited. Enhanced marijuana is extremely potent and dangerous, no matter what advocates say. Marijuana will be more readily available to our youth, because of careless adults. The law as currently written in Maine is poorly written. Finally, do we want a whole population attempting to work or be social publically with a euphoric buzz on; are we as a society not unproductive enough?"
Tim McClure – Lisbon Falls
"You can't regulate behavior. Nor should you try."
Brendan Sullivan – Dover, New Hampshire
"I need to move back to Maine."
Jeremy Carter – Buxton
"It's an herb, not a drug."
Joyce Marshall – Chelsea
"Is there really anybody who is chemical free nowadays?"
Seth Goodell – Portland
"Honestly I haven't used marijuana myself for nearly a decade and don't plan on starting now just because it's legal. That being said I still feel like it's a long time coming. Anything that restores personal freedoms of any kind are a plus in my book. My only concern is that this is a minuscule step towards being what I consider free, and people will settle and stop fighting for more."
Robin Cote – Oakland
"It's pretty simple. Use similar guidelines to regulate marijuana like alcohol. Alcohol is much more impairing than weed and does not have the wide range of beneficial medicinal properties. We voted to make it legal, so stop screwing around and trying to stop the voice of the people."
Tina Nadeau – Portland
"I really wish the legislature would focus on the opioid crisis rather than on marijuana. What a waste of time and resources for everyone involved."
Donna Abram-Cioppa – Brunswick, Therapist
"Marijuana's been used by indigenous people in many cultures for centuries to heal and to facilitate ceremonies. As a healer myself and a lightworker, I feel natural is always best."
Adam Overlock – Oakland
"Everybody already has pot. Making it legal is about us not wasting any more resources on something that isn't and had never been a problem."
Mike Joys – South Portland
"As far as I'm concerned, forget about retail. Allow caregivers to expand their operation to selling to the public for donation much like the medical system works outside of the dispensaries. I would be very wary of buying state sanctioned and grown marijuana."
Larry Hamilton – South Portland
"So basically I'll be able to smoke it legally, but have to buy it from the shifty guy on the corner illegally with the state receiving no tax? Do I have that correct?"
Dee Norris – Starks, Veteran with PTSD and Epilepsy
"Any law against this herb is illogical. This plant has over 4000 years documented use, serving mankind. The legality of the plant has been such that many people with health problems have not been able to access standardized tinctures and oils, for their cancer, epilepsy, depression, or addictions. It is a sin to keep health from people. When I look at children's cereals and the toxins and chemicals in them, I wonder why people feed these things to the kids, and yet fight something as wholesome as the herb. My epilepsy is so bad I can barely function; every day is like a near death experience, but marijuana is what is keeping me alive."

Mary Terrafino, or Mother Mary, jumped off a cliff, having lost her sanity by overworking in the Day Care and hearing Orsay and Nerezza talk about how leaving the FAYZ (either by death or "poof") will transport you to the other side. However, Nerezza is the Gaiaphage's avatar and is manipulating Orsay into believing she can see the dreams of the adults after she visited the mineshaft with Bug and Edilio hoping to see the Gaiaphage's dreams. Mary wasn't originally going to jump and promised her brother, John Terrafino, that she would never leave. However, she later found out that he lied to her about stuff going on in the council, (he was the youngest member) onAstrid's accord, and she contemplated leaving a bit more. It also should be noted that she had depression and several eating disorders that could have contributed to the jump. It was mentioned several times that there would be a red setting sun and Mary saw her mother making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for all of the littles saying they could enjoy them with their families in a hallucination caused by the Gaiaphage. Orsay leads Mary to believe her prophesies by saying that her mom got John a skateboard and talked about how jealous Mary was. She told her this because Mary called her a false prophet and told her to stop lying to Francis, a volunteer at the daycare that "poofed" because of Orsay. Before he left, he gave Mary his watch. It's likely that since Nerezza was a spawn of the Gaiaphage, she obtained the Gaiaphage's ability to dig into other's minds and see their memories. Using this power, she may have looked into Mary's mind and found the memory of the skateboard and then replayed that memory into Orsay's mind pretending to be Mary's mother.
Now believing Orsay and Nerezza, she attempted to bring the littles out of the FAYZ by having them all hold hands as she jumped off the cliff at Clifftop on her birthday and take the "poof." The children would've died, if Brianna and Dekka hadn't arrived. Brianna was able to use her super speed to catch Justin, the most main little, when he was dragged off the cliff. He tried to leave earlier but Mary's grip was too strong. Dekka suspended gravity and saved the others. Howard dubbed it as "Mary's Big Jump," he is responsible for naming many things in the FAYZ including the FAYZ itself. Sam later says that he thinks it's sad how people will remember her as the crazy anorexic that tried to kill all the littles.
Mid-jump, Mary 'poofed' out of the FAYZ, and in Fear, you find that her and Francis end up terribly disfigured when they end up outside the FAYZ. She is described to have lobster-red skin and a slurred speech from the result of teeth growing out of her cheeks and having surgery. One eye is said to droop downwards like a blurred smear on her face that she probably couldn't see out of. She was found by bikers that called animal control, making an "honest mistake" that she was a mangled animal. Francis was also disfigured, but he couldn't speak, as it was said that he had no facial features such as a mouth and was feed through an IV. His fingers were all joined together, making his hands useless. His arrival was televised and they both died four months after Mary's Big Jump from a disconnection with the "J-waves" but not before Mary cries about having killed the littles and informing the doctor's that Little Pete caused the FAYZ, but they were very skeptical that a five-year-old could have the power to create the FAYZ. Back in the FAYZ, Orsay confronts Nerezza about her doubts and explains that she thinks that they shouldn't have driven Mary to jump. Furious, Nerezza strangles Orsay on the beach and leaves her lifeless body there like roadkill.
