"A Solid Marketing Automation Platform"
Comments: We are a media publisher that used Act-On primarily for sending out marketing emails — about 20+ a month, supporting a white paper site, and hosting 2 webinars a month. Act-On made it super easy to set up and market webinars from the initial thought, through sending a copy of the webinar to attendees when done and every step along the way. I've used about 4 different marketing automation platforms and I can tell you that Act-On was by far the easiest to send email campaigns in, from initial email creation to sending.
Pros: I liked that over the past four years I have worked with the product I have seen it grow leaps and bounds. They have a team that is dedicated to making smart improvements with the product.
Cons: Like all products this isn't perfect. I had the most problems with our sales rep kept changing. Also, once in a blue moon a feature would change without proper notification.

"Buyer Beware!! Not a sophisticated system in the least"
Comments: The worst. Beware - do NOT fall for this "automation" system. Go with something that actually supports the workflow of marketers in 2018.
Pros: Absolutely nothing. I came from using Pardot at my previous company and then was stuck with this poor excuse for an automation system for two years. Luckily we're in the process of switching back to Pardot at the moment.
Cons: Pricing Model Not Built to Scale: They think that the "pay for contacts" pricing model is a pro, but it is not! For any marketer with a growing database this is a pure nightmare given that they are basically unresponsive when you need to add more contacts. We are actually currently in a situation where we can't get ANYONE to respond to help us add more contacts, which means that I cannot execute on a very large campaign that we were set to launch yesterday. Customer Service: As mentioned above, good luck getting anybody to actually call you back or fix your issues. If you have any level of sophistication in your marketing programs and automation, it's just a matter of when you're going to run into issues with Act-On, and half the time, they don't even know why the system doesn't work. I just got a call back a few days ago about a support ticket I submitted in JULY (it's October 18 right now). Product: Act-On does not have a contacts database. So if you need to look up a contact and see every list that they are on, every automation program they are in, or to manage their subscriptions or lists, you cannot. That's right - there is no way to globally search for a contact in Act-On. This is absurd. There is no way that you can call yourself an automation system in 2018 and not have this most basic of capabilities.

"Act-on is an easy to use and robust marketing tool."
Comments: Our sales team is massively impressed with the capabilities and insights that Act-on provides through the integration with our CRM tool. We have been able to message leads with the right message at the right time easily and are able to have a hands off approach when it comes to funneling leads to our sales team. The value Act-on has added has been worth it.
Pros: Most actions are very intuitive and the tool is easy to navigate.
Cons: Our onboarding experience wasn't the best, but Act-on has since implemented a new onboarding process that involves thorough training and set-up. We went to the bootcamp later and we are pleased that Act-on now offers that at the kickoff for other customers.

That is the previous and really tired "to move up you have to transfer out" dynamic that kills us in the hotel industry.

I hate Donald Trump and I don't like Hillary Clinton. I'm not a fan of Vladimir Putin and I can't call myself a supporter of Barack Obama. I like Bernie Sanders but he has a lot to learn. I don't think Clinton should be president and I support the protests against her nomination. I don't think Bernie supporters should vote Trump. It doesn't sound that complicated but to many people these days it would not fit in their frame of mind.
Always count on politics being reduced to a binary divide. Perhaps it's something implemented in our brain, a tenacious vestige of cultural hegemony of the good vs evil narrative. A simplification pounded into our heads since the days of the Council of Constantinople.
And, of course, nowadays maintained by the ruling class of bankers and rich politicians. Because, divide and conquer is still the best way to remain control over the masses. Make the working class believe that they are on the good side. "Stay where you are, labourers. We got this. They are the bad guys: so stay on our side."
This is the best way to defend politics that don't benefit the people at all. Always point to the other side where things are even worse. When the working class protests they're being ridiculous. They don't get it, don't understand what's best for them. That's what people are made to believe in order to remain the status quo.
Bernie Sanders and the Political Revolution
Hillary Clinton is officially nominated by the Democratic Party to run for president against Donald Trump. It's very clear by now that she was meant to be the nominee from the very beginning. The candidacy of Bernie Sanders was broadly supported by the people but not by the ruling class. Sanders has been methodically, persistently and systematically ignored, downplayed and kept out of the public eye as much as possible. Months before Clinton actually beat him he was already declared to be a lost cause and anyone who believed in him, made to think they were naive, idealistic and short-sighted.
Sanders didn't just run a campaign for presidency, he ran a campaign for a socialist worker's movement in the United States. He called for a political revolution. Sanders didn't run a campaign for himself, he ran it for the greater good. He awoke something that is bigger than himself and something that transgresses traditional party politics. Exactly for that reason it's so painfully ironic to see him ultimately bow down to Clinton and have the Democratic Party insist everyone stop acting out and submit themselves to her candidacy.
Do I agree with Bernie supporters who are planning to vote for Donald Trump instead? Or want to stay home and ignore the elections? Of course not. Such is a knee-jerk, impulsive reaction to being sidelined and ignored. But make no mistake, they are being sidelined and ignored so their frustration is real and justified. The arrogance and elitism of the Democrats is exactly what has driving so many people in the mouth of the monster. The lack of a better alternative! The better alternative is Bernie Sanders! Don't mistake their inclination to vote Trump as a reason not take them serious or as a sign of treason towards the party. This is a group of people that want to break with the traditional Democrats vs. Republican divide. You have the tools to bring in millions of extra votes, not from people that all would vote for a Democratic candidate anyway, but a big and strong and powerful group of people that don't have anyone to rally behind and with the lack of a proper candidate will scatter and either go to Trump, a third party or stay home. That instrument is Bernie Sanders, that instrument is socialism and it's gaining terrain faster than you think.
Bernie supporters that don't want to vote for Clinton are accused of going to 'split the vote' – but that's a fine display of reverse psychology. The ones splitting the vote are the democrat elites. They decided to snub the catalyst of the working class and instead let them fall apart and either not vote or be scooped up by the barbaric fascists of the right wing.
Tear Down the Elite
What they are doing is making everyone believe there is no other choice. The die has been cast, Clinton is going to be the candidate, so unless you want Donald Trump you have to vote for her now. I read an interesting analogy the other day: a person compared the situation to a plane that's crashing after the crew ended up unconscious. There's two people on board that could take over: an experienced pilot that has had some flaws in the past, or a loud mouth macho that can't fly a plane at all but pretends he can. The latter obviously being Donald Trump and the former Hillary Clinton. As an addendum to the metaphor, the person added that another great pilot is currently locked up in the lavatory and can't come up. This charming situation was supposed to mirror Bernie Sanders's situation.
This example is supposed to make you realise we have to vote for Clinton. Not because she good, not because she's going to do much good, but because there is no other choice.
The problem here is that it takes so many things for granted. And that's exactly the problem in the cultural hegemony of capitalism and the state.
We have to walk the line, we have to abide the rules. We have to do like we are supposed to do it. There was an election and Clinton was nominated so that's what is going to happen. We stay well within the paved roads and the framework that the elite have created for us. It's a democracy but it's a democracy where the rules are made for us. And that's exactly what has to change. That's exactly what Sanders was creating during his campaign: revolution. The protesters outside the Democratic Convention, they are not supposed to just be angry and yell and make a scene. They have to BREAK the rules, SMASH and TEAR OPEN the system. The drawn out lines, the confines, the protocols and the rules were put there to keep them down. They were put there to prevent people like Bernie Sanders from being elected and they GOT TO GO.
Now, the Democrats are trying to create unity. To close their lines and rally behind Clinton for the greater good. To do this they happily exploit the traditional good vs. bad divide. The narrative they are trying to create is simple. Clinton, Obama and Sanders are on the same side. On the other side we have Trump and his cronies. Everything that's not in favour of the Democratic Party is framed as a conspiracy from the right wing. Trump's flirting with the Russians and the alleged Russian involvement with the recent e-mail leak is roaring like an engine behind that plot. Are you against Vladimir Putin? Well then you have to vote Clinton or you are playing right into his cards!
Seize Control of the DNC
And even more dangerously: the DNC e-mail leak. The information that was leaked by Edward Snowden and his friends, is landing the Democrats is seriously hot water. But the whole event is being hushed and downplayed in the favour of unity. Don't try to even suggest the information is reason to seriously rethink Clinton's position or the integrity of the party. No! It's the Russians, it's Putin and it's Trump. And it most likely is. Trump is a coward provocateur, Putin is just another rich capitalist with his own selfish agenda. Surely he would love to see Trump win and tear the US apart. But that does not mean the leak is not to be taken seriously! Just because it doesn't reveal any illegal activity, it shows a core of deeply rotten and undemocratic tendency. Another reason NOT to nominate Hillary Clinton. But the elite won't have it: don't choose the side of the Trumps and the Putins, pick our side! We are good! At least we are better than them. Look at them! They are horrible! (They are).
America deserves better. America can do better. The United States is a nation just as any other. Capitalism is not embedded in their souls. It's a cultural hegemony, but hegemony's can be broken, done away with and replaced. They want us to believe it's already over. We have to vote for Hillary Clinton because there is no alternative. But there is! Now is the time for the working class to stand up. Break the DNC, break the protocols and the rules and the confines that are holding you down. You wanted Bernie Sanders, but you were being held down and ignored and shoved aside in favour of a candidate that had the preference of the party elite. America is ruled by its people and its people have to take control. Topple the party leadership, seize the power and defeat Trump the way he is meant to be defeated: with socialism, the power of the working class and with REVOLUTION.

I don't think you can be a fan of romance and not also love Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (like I even needed to name the author, right?). Dev's new standalone novel gives a big nod to that novel, without being at all derivative. First off, Dev switches the roles—in her novel, Trisha, the heroine, is the "snob" while DJ is the one she disses early on.
Trisha is a talented neurosurgeon who has to deliver very mixed news to a patient named Emma—she can remove the tumor that will save Emma's life but not without causing her to lose her sight. This is devastating enough, but Emma's also a visual artist, making it doubly bad. Trisha's got an overbearing family who she feels like has shunned her (especially her father) because of something that happened a long time before. Her brother is running for a political office in California and the whole family is focused on supporting him, and Trisha is trying to get back in her family's good graces. She attends an event at her parents' house, where she encounters the event chef and manages to insult him.
DJ can't believe he actually overhears this woman referring to him as "the hired help." He's a highly-trained (and Paris-trained, at that) chef who's just back in San Francisco because his little sister is facing brain cancer. He doesn't expect to see the woman again, so he and Trisha are both shocked to run into each other in Emma's hospital room.
Unsurprisingly, they clash despite each being very attracted to the other. DJ keeps his attraction pretty under control, but Trisha struggles a bit more, constantly putting her foot in her mouth and insulting him over and over again. Then she spontaneously decides to admit her attraction to DJ, which goes over very, very badly. (It's a great scene that perfectly captures the awkwardness and feeling of the parallel scene in Austen's book.) And there's a baddie named Julia Wickham who worms her way into DJ's world, nearly disrupting everything.
The sexual tension between Trisha and DJ is great. And Dev is a talented writer, with her strong dialogue and descriptions. There was one thing that bugged me, though, that I feel like mentioning. The way Trisha's family dealt with the situation with Julia and what she did—which isn't revealed until later in the book—made me uncomfortable. There's even a line about how releasing the details would set women's rights back a hundred years—I didn't agree with that at all. It was actually pretty messed up and Julia was clearly the bad guy there. However this line comes from one of the characters, and I don't have to agree with everything they say or do.
Anyway, there is quite a bit going on in Trisha's life. DJ's busy too, but most of his non-Trisha time is spent with Emma, who also is Trisha's concern. So this is definitely Trisha's book. It's also her most "American" book, with very little time spent in India (all of it's in flashbacks, too). Still, if you've liked Dev's other books or you enjoy reading about complex family dynamics, you'll probably like this one, too.

Starting a fire is not always easy. When you're down to your final match, or trying to conserve the juice left in your Bic lighter, you can't afford failure. This is when you need to use an accelerant, to make sure the tinder ignites and burns long enough and hot enough to ignite the kindling.
There are accelerants in nature, such as pitchwood or fresh evergreen sap. But depending on your situation, those might not be available. In urban survival situations, you probably have several accelerants to choose from in your medicine cabinet, pantry, or first aid kit.
Here is an alphabetical list of excellent accelerants that I have personally tested. These items are normally disguised as common household products, but if you apply a small amount to a cotton ball or to a bit of wadded toilet paper or paper towel, you'll have a powerful fire booster.
- Alcohol swab — Quickly takes a spark and turns it into an inferno. Only the alcohol burns, leaving the swab material untouched. This can be ignited from a spark without using any paper as a base.
- Carmex — A small amount smeared on paper ignites easily and turns the paper into a long-burning candle.
- Chapstick — This product, when applied to a piece of paper, extends the combustion time of the paper by a factor of about five. This is important because it multiplies the power of the flame to ignite tinder, kindling, and fuel wood.
- Deodorant — Smear deodorant on a patch of paper, and it will burn much longer than the untreated paper alone would.
- Hair oil — A few drops of hair oil on paper will burn like a wick dipped in lamp oil, consuming the oil rather than the wick, keeping the fire alive for an extended period of time.
- Hand sanitizer — If you have hand sanitizer that contains alcohol, it's almost as good as napalm. This stuff will burst into flame directly from a spark, and doesn't even need a paper base for it to start burning.
- Insect repellant — A bit of liquid insect repellant on paper makes a very volatile accelerant that bursts into flame quickly after striking a spark on the paper base.
- Neosporin — Not all accelerants burst into flame quickly. Some act as a combustion extender. Neosporin is one of these. It takes a bit of effort to ignite, but when it does it burns steadily to sustain the flame for a long time.
- Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) – This is one of my favorites. It is cheap, easy to obtain, and is an excellent accelerant that burns long and hot.
- Snack chips — Here's a surprise for some people, and it might make you think twice about eating these things. I've used potato chips, Fritos, Doritos, Cheetos, and white-label varieties of all of these. They all burn like an oil field on fire. The trick is to prop them up vertically over the toilet paper, strike your spark into the paper, and as the flame rises the chips will turn into a torch.
- Zinc oxide (the white stuff surfers put on their nose to prevent sunburn). This material burns slowly and steadily, extending the combustion period of the paper it is smeared on.

REJOICE~ CARDIA FINALLY GETS HER NEW OUTFIT! But what she really loves is her new pillow! Heehee! So cute!!!!!
This week it was time for the great train chase, but one that doesn't go all according to plan. Turned out Finis had deliberately leaked all that information on purpose, tricking Lupin and the team to come to him instead. Finis also reveals he and Cardia are siblings who must fulfill their father's wishes, and he knows the truth she desires- but he won't share any of it until she's in his hands. He also made the point to mock Van, pointing out how he has changed since his former self would have shot him regardless of Cardia being held at gun-point, but wasn't like they were going to kill her anyways, that would defeat the whole point.
Truth to be told, I am not entirely sure how I feel about the decision to change the hour of the mission to take place during daylight instead of sticking with it taking place at night. It may have helped give it a sense of more epic challenge, display the colorful fireworks and feel more like a secret mission altogether… I don't know. But there's something about the execution of this event that left more to be desired. Actually, I was quite shocked how they didn't utilize Twilight's Forces as much as they probably should have. In fact, now that I mention it, I think that what was missing. In the game, Finis as planned, came prepared. He had an obnoxious amount of Twilight agents on board undercover, and when they showed up, it was overwhelming. That's exactly what was missing. Nothing felt overwhelming or gave me a sense of, "Oh my god, they are in trouble!" whatsoever. It's a bummer because I felt the game did a great job executing that, and it's truly baffling for them to have watered down this scene to this extent. Talk about a missed opportunity.
Another thing that surprised me was how they spared Lupin's ego from being bruised by Herlock Holmes. This encounter was supposed to be the start of a tense relationship between a Detective and a Thief, one where Lupin was supposed to have finally met his match, and even be outplayed. Herlock being immune to the sleeping gas and landing a hit in the mouth was way too weak to justify Lupin being outplayed. I would have loved to see him use his actual tricks. This would have been another thing to add excitement and suspense to the scene -also another one where Cardia actually contributes to before running off to fulfill her mission. But perhaps they decided it's not worth delving into the rivalry between Lupin and Herlock, especially if they intend of potentially cutting more of his future appearances altogether. At least the duel between Herlock and Lupin was pretty cool to watch!
Speaking of cutting appearance, I was absolutely stunned how Aleister's presence was made to be non-existent. He had virtually no lines, no presence whatsoever – I guess this would be the indication that we won't be seeing much of him either…
And lastly, finally the mission even begun, Lupin and Cardia had a moment… Or least almost, until Sisi cock-blocked Lupin, which is probably for the best since unless he intended to touch her hair or carefully embrace her, he would've burned his hand! It was pretty funny though afterwards to see Van ask them if they are in that kind of relationship! (But seriously though, they act like they are already a couple! Every scene screams #MARRIED! Swoon worth too!) I will mention though it was nice just to see Van and Cardia share scenes together. God I love those two so much. AKSYS GAMES, GIMME RELEASE DATE FOR THE FANDISC I BEG OF YOU~ I HAVE THE MIGHTY NEEEEEEDDDDD!!!
Now I don't usually do this because either a) there is no canon pairing and b) they don't spoil too much, or c) I never played the game… but I do want to give a quick heads up in advance for the next episode. Judging by the preview, it looks like it's going to be mainly a Victor central episode (since the Queen has labeled Lupin and the rest of his gang as terrorists responsible for the train attack), but it also looks like they will also be dropping some hints about Saint-Germain's character as well. If you plan to play the game, now is the time when you really should consider whether or not should play sooner than later. See what I am worried about for potential new players is the story being spoiled, and one of the things that makes Saint-Germain's character so amazing and his route so engaging, is the secrecy/mysteriousness that surrounds his character. So if you don't want to be spoiled any details or even hints about his character, and play blind – because you are required to complete all four routes in order to unlock Lupin's the true route – which also happens to be the ONLY route they reveal anything about Saint-Germain besides his own. So if you really don't want to be spoiled, I recommend you to put this show on hold, until you play his route.
Also, because I don't have my reviews ready quite yet (it's getting there!), I will take this chance to recommend you to play Saint-Germain's route 4th (second to last). It is an excellent route to play before you follow up with Lupin's route, and will give you a lot of feelings. And just to give some perspective, the order which I played was Impey > Van > Victor > Saint-Germain > Lupin.

Transitional Living Programs enhance the lives of foster youth by developing important life skills
Katy, TX, September 10, 2018 – Every year in Texas, 7% (over 1200) of the children in foster care "Age Out" of the system with nowhere to go, few if any basic life skills and no one to encourage success. Our mission at Fostering Success Foundation is to enhance the lives of foster youth and young adults through encouragement and development of life skills.
About 18,000 Texas children enter the foster care system with 7% of them "aging out" every year as of 2016, according to the Kids Count data center, a project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Fostering Success Foundation was founded with a vision of changing those statistics. Transitional Living Programs are designed to serve foster children aged 14 years old up to 23 years old. The main treatment goal of the program is basic life skills development toward independent living.
"These kids have been through a lot, but they aren't damaged and it's not too late to help them. They just need some encouragement and support through this transition" said Leah Martinez, co-founder of Fostering Success Foundation, when asked why focus on the older kids in foster care?
Fostering Success Foundation is a new 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with big plans for the future. Visit our website https://fosteringsuccessfoundation.org to learn more about the program and how you can help.

Health Canada has approved Gazyva (obinutuzumab) to treat patients with follicular lymphoma.
Follicular lymphoma is a slow growing form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in which patients produce abnormal B-lymphocytes (white blood cells that fight infection).
According to Lymphoma Canada, current treatment options for follicular lymphoma are dependent on the patient's health and stage of cancer but may include chemotherapy (e.g., CHOP) and/or immunotherapy [Rituxan (rituximab)]. Like Rituxan, Gazyva is an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody but the latter drug is more effective. In a news release, Richard Van der Jagt, MD, clinical hematologist at The Ottawa Hospital said, "The approval of Gazyva is encouraging for Canadians living with this form of blood cancer, as the treatment has shown to significantly delay disease progression over Rituxan, which has been the standard of care for more than a decade."
More specifically, Gazyva is approved in combination with chemotherapy, followed by Gazyva monotherapy, for treating patients with untreated stage II bulky (>7cm), III or IV follicular lymphoma.
The approval was largely based on the phase 3 GALLIUM study that was published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine in which 1202 patients were randomized to receive Gazyva or Rituxan in combination with chemotherapy (CHOP, CVP, or bendamustine) followed by Gazyva or Rituxan monotherapy in patients who achieved a complete or partial response.
The study observed that patients in the Gazyva-treated group has significantly better results with regard to progressive-free survival, relapse, and death, compared to those treated with Rituxan.
The most common Grade 3–4 adverse events observed with Gazyva monotherapy were neutropenia, pneumonia, and febrile neutropenia.
Infusion reactions were also commonly observed with Gazyva (occurring in 72% of patients) but only led to discontinuation of treatment in 2% of the patients.

Below The Sea Blame It on the Past
Published Nov 01, 2005With all this talk of Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade and Stars, people often forget that these bands represent the second wave of hype from Montreal, and that the first came from post-rock overlords Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and their many offshoots. From their very fertile grounds, numerous bands shot up trying to emulate their expansive, yet unique, sound and just a handful found some success. Below the Sea took their cues from GY!BE, but, with this release, find a strong and confident voice to make their own mark. When an instrumental band start to incorporate ambient electronics, the balance should always be one of subtlety, allowing a "win-win situation between the elements, and such is the case here. Below the Sea come up with a genuine classic in "Stroll Down Memory Lane, which find their strummed guitars in perfect sync with the beats and keyboards from friend Ulrich Schnauss. Although it may not be hip to quote Vangelis, it is definitely a plus here, allowing a rich, deep atmosphere to bring endless aural dividends. Their apt album title showcases that although their history may bring pre-conceived notions about their sound, Below the Sea are rightly following their own path. (Where Are My Records)

Estranged Student Solidarity Week – A Round Up by Paige Mackenzie
The last week in November was Estranged Students Solidarity Week, a campaign led by StandAlone to raise awareness about family estrangement and the many barriers to success that estranged students face in Higher Education.
This year I graduated from Liverpool John Moores University where I studied Media Production and the Unite Foundation asked if I could create a series of films to be released throughout the campaign which was really exciting. I spent the week visiting some of the Foundation's university partners across the country; I went to Leicester, to London, to Bristol, to Liverpool, then Edinburgh and then back home, all in the space of 5 days!
It was really interesting to find out what different universities do to encourage estranged young people to go to university and what support and advice is there for those who do.
- Ryan at Leicester De Montfort talked about the importance of engaging with your teaching programme to help you find your feet and meet other people
- At the University of Bristol I spoke with Maria about the importance of getting career ready and thinking about that really early on
- I hadn't realised that in Scotland, being estranged or care experienced is defined a little bit differently – Edinburgh Napier University try really hard to reach out to students and help them to understand their status and support available to them
- Queen Mary University London has an area on their website dedicated to care leavers and estranged students
- Liverpool John Moores University are just brilliant at giving support throughout university and beyond – as Phil said, 'the door is always open!'
It was so good to go back to Liverpool, see my friends there and go back to the bar I used to work in!
It's great that StandAlone has dedicated a week each year to raise awareness about estrangement and encourage a wider discussion on changing family dynamics – as one of Unite Foundation's scholars pointed out, people don't understand estrangement in the same way they understand the term 'care leaver'. Obviously, the Unite Foundation and the universities I visited (along with all of the Unite Foundation's partner universities) work hard all year round to reach out to and support estranged students and the campaign was a brilliant opportunity to highlight this and talk about some of the specific guidance, advice and support on offer in addition to the Foundation scholarships.
The Unite Foundation have set up a dedicated campaign page, where you can find all of my films http://www.unitefoundation.co.uk/estranged-students-solidarity-week/ and if you're interested to see some more of the wider campaign activity, look up #WithEstrangedStudents on Twitter and Instagram.

Pokemon is in the middle of a very important milestone year as it is celebrating its 20th anniversary, with Sun and Moon still set to come out later this year. The early part of the year kicked this party off early with the Virtual Console re-release of the most classic games in the franchise, which have sold exceptionally well.
Nintendo just released their annual earnings report for the previous fiscal year that included details on many topics, one of which was the VC release of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow, or Red, Green, and Yellow in Japan.
From this report, it was revealed that these VC re-releases have been purchased and downloaded more than 1.5 million times since their release in late February on what was known as Pokemon Day that celebrated the release of the original games in Japan way back in 1996.
Nintendo also announced that more than half of these downloads came in the US, which shows just how popular this series still is in the US so many years after the release of the initial games.
They did not specify at all which version sold best, though my personal guess is that Pokemon Yellow sold better than the rest. Hopefully those details may come out later, as it would be interesting to find out if that is the case.

So, Venezuela was not as dangerous as I was led to expect: I have not been murdered even once. Yet.
However, due to the constant scaremongering peddled by locals, danger appeared to lurk around every corner. And indeed, it was only a matter of time before something serious happened.
Here is the scene: I was walking alongside a busy road – something resembling a dual-carriageway – in Central Caracas. It was 14:00. The sun was glowing and there appeared to be nothing to fear.
But then two policemen spotted me. They drove up alongside me on the pavement and asked for identification. Mere routine one would expect. I showed them my passport. This obviously did not suffice as their Laurel and Hardy routine began.
The more slender officer said "trust me" whilst the fatter one searched my bag. As a general rule, anybody who asks to be trusted is not to be trusted (c.f. Gandhi). They felt every part – every crevice – of my body, in what seemed to be no other than a rapacious desire for money. How do I know this? Well, the ordeal ended with them handing me back my money – or more specifically, $3 out of $30.
Trust obviously does not translate well from English into Venezuelan-Spanish. However, I am fortunate that I emptied my wallet shortly before leaving the flat earlier in the day, otherwise I would have lost over $100 more.
Apart from being mugged by the police, I quite enjoyed Caracas. I resided with Cheryl, an effusive 30-year old translator I found on Couchsurfing. She helped me navigate the city and the overflowing metro system which gives Beijing a run for its money (having to haul both my bags on to it at peak-time was a regrettable – and forgettable – experience).
The city´s tumultuous pace during the day gave way to a languid air in the evenings. This may be interpreted as an unwelcoming sign; either way, I did not wish to find out.
Before I left England, another person named Maria from Couchsurfing told me that they were going to visit Choroni, a nearby beach town over the weekend, and that I was invited to join her and her friends. As I was quite constrained for time, I did not intend to heed to this invite. However, on my second night in Caracas, the night before I was scheduled to leave, I happened to bump into her at a Metro station (N.B. Caracas has a population of at least 7 million). I spent the evening with Maria and her affable friends, two of whom were local musicians (one claimed that he was played by John Peel before he passed away). There, we agreed that we would leave for Choroni on Friday – the following evening.
However, once I had hauled my bags to Maria´s flat on Friday (following the aforementioned ill-fated metro journey), excuses abounded about how her friend, who was driving, was waiting to receive his pay-cheque and thus we could not leave until then.
As the evening progressed it was patent that I was not going to Choroni that evening. I was told that at the very least, we would be going the following day.
That night I went out for some drinks with Maria and two of her friends. One was an actor of the fagan/antagonist sort due to his rugged bad looks. It was a pleasant night; that is, until I returned back to Maria´s flat at which point she tried her utmost to, uhm, ´court´ me. Feigning that I had passed-out, I vowed to leave the following morning. All is well that ends well.
Fortunately, Maria had no interest in joining me in Choroni either (as, purportedly, her friend still had not received his pay-cheque).
So, off to Choroni I went. I was due to arrive at 18:00, but due to a combination of the rainy weather and a public celebration of some sort, the bus finally taxied at 19:30 in the isolated darkness of the bus station. I asked a group four people where Choroni is; bemused, they told me that this was it. Kindly, however, Sofia, Eduardo, Oriana and Geoffrey told me to follow them. Together we walked into the centre of the town where there was a teeming nightlife, resplendent with bellowing music. As my course had already been set though, I followed them on to a small motor-boat heading to Cepe, a quieter beach some twenty minutes away.
The journey there was one of my most memorable. I tried to explain to the entourage that I feared the combination of small-boats and darkness following my near-death experience in Varanasi, India whereby the manually-rowed boat was flung like a kite in the torrid waters. The waves here were no less forgiving. The boat dipped and crashed on the waves making it impossible for anybody to stay sat on their seats. I would suggest this as a new attraction at Blackpool Pleasure Beach to aid the park´s ailing fortunes, but it would not be legal (no, not even by the Pleasure Beach´s standards).
Once at Cepe we swam in the warm sea where the waves reached over five-feet high. Afterwards we sat talking around three candles Sofia had implanted into the sand. Then, when we all began to tire, they somehow fitted me into their four-person tent.
In the morning, knowing I was short of time, I left the group and visited another nearby beach town named Chuao. Chuao is renowned for making Venezuela´s finest chocolate. I treated myself to chocolate ice-cream and cake for breakfast; this is treading down a perilous path, I know, towards trying a Dixie´s Chicken in Manchester, but I think I can justify this on the grounds that I am in another country.
That evening I took a night-bus to Coro. However, rather than arriving at 4:30am as expected, it arrived at 2:00am. I took a taxi to from the bus station to the centre of the town where the Posadas (guesthouses) are located. Every one was closed. There was not even the faintest sign of life.
Exasperated, I returned to the bus station where I fell asleep. The good news is that I woke in the morning with my bags (although, I had instinctively wrapped my legs around them during the night). I returned to the centre in the morning and left my bags at the Casa Tun Tun posada. If anybody from Google had searched for Casa Tun Tun and is reading this, stay there: the owner is kind and helpful, and the rooms looked to be in good condition.
Coro itself was fairly languid. As it happens, I was there on Simon de Bolivar day (i.e. Independence Day), so whilst there were a few public processions taking place, most of the shops and stalls were closed.
In the evening I boarded another night-bus, this time to Merida. It started off badly as it played the opening jingle from a crass and suicide-inducing film named Marmaduke on repeat for at least half hour. Once that eventually resided I fell asleep and woke at 7:00am at Merdia´s bus station.
Merida is a university city with the accompanying liberal aura. It is engulfed by the Andes mountains; whilst I could scarcely see them when I first arrived due to thick cotton-wooled clouds, by the end of the evening the mountains began to emerge and it was a beautiful sight to behld.
In Merida I watched the Uruguay v Holland match at a local bar (a great game and a fair result I thought). More importantly, I went to Heladeria Coromoto which is the World Record Holder for featuring the most flavour´s of ice-cream. I decided to taste the rice-krispies and salmon flavours (just to spite you JK, AJ and Ros!). I am unsure whether it is a cause de celebre that the salmon flavour tasted of, well, salmon.
Tomorrow I am crossing into Colombia. Here is to hoping that I am not kidnapped…
So, what is my overall opinion of Venezuela? I think that a drawn-out metaphor is appropriate.
On the buses I boarded, music continously pulsated at a deafening volume. The music came in two forms. First, there was the Reggaton. This gives you an impression of what it sounds like:
In short, it is dreadful. The lyrics are also supposedly highly Misogynistic. As Geoffrey from Cepe explained, Reggaton is the result of a culture where sexual expressions have been restrained (if there was ever another reason to celebrate the advent of the pill, this is it).
Salsa is the other type of music perpetually played on buses. This is overloaded with exuberance; it is sensual but jovial.
So, reggaton represents the ominous side to Venezuela. It is pervasive and ugly. It is Machismo personified. However, I did not meet a single person who actually liked the bastardised form music. Conversely, most people and places I encountered were akin to Salsa. They smiled, laughed and had a genuinely friendly disposition. There was always a helping hand whenever somebody overhead me mumble "no hablo Espanyol".
Let´s hope that the existence of Reggaton does not undermine the Salsa.
P.S. I forgot to bring the card reader for my camera. Hopefully I will find one in Bogota and upload my pictures in due course.

More Joint Pressure than Ever: Obesity is a Challenge
As a member and president of the Southern Orthopaedic Association, part of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Dr. Samuel Brown connects with other specialists for the most current research in bones and joints.
"While we have less invasive surgeries, with smaller incisions and more outpatient options, one of our biggest challenges among our patients today is the pressure on their joints. We want to see people moving, before and after their surgery, enjoying their favorite activities," Brown said.
Much of this increased pressure is due to obesity, with rates rising swiftly. Dr. Brown reflects that in the past, surgery was often not an option for people who weighed over 250 pounds. Today, more surgeries can be done but it increases chances of complications after surgery. The orthopaedic field is a fast-paced one, and as the technology advances, and the challenges shift, orthopedists need to stay current.
Dr. Brown is an orthopaedic surgeon, specializing in sports medicine, surgery of the shoulder and arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder and knee, practicing in Southeastern Virginia with Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center.

Men's Lace Leather Invisible Heightening Business Elevator Dress Shoes 7cm is the best-selling pair of shoes, simple and generous, not very bright colors, not very dark, just the color. There are also many people who choose this as a wedding shoe, giving a very serious feeling.
You never know what a short man will experience. In the first episode of "Sex and the City", a Manhattan quasi-elite man complained about the powerful women in New York. "Really, how many times have you rejected a man because it is not high enough?" Height may be the knot and obsession of many men who can never go. Especially in East Asia, there are many examples of bullying in adolescence due to slow development. But after adolescence, especially after the age of 25, it may be even more desperate – because it is impossible to grow taller.
How high can a person be free from social harm? In the past decade, this standard has become higher and higher, and eventually stabilized at around 180 cm. Men over 1.7 meters lived a carefree life until one day the standard of "a man who is less than 1.8 meters is a third-class disabled person" was born. But it doesn't matter, there is always a way to make a person taller, at least visually, you won't be short, so you have to mention Sen Yue's Elevator Dress Shoes. This time we will delve into the various enhancements.
High heels, which seem to belong to women's shoe cabinets, were not originally worn by women, but used as knights to connect horseshoes. The first pair of high-heeled Elevator Shoes in the modern sense was also invented by a famous person: "Sun King" Louis XIV, also known as the "father of red soles", for the pursuit of the height of the fashionable King Louis XIV, the height is not only Men's power is also a symbol of power, and high heels can immediately achieve the visual effect of the group.
However, with the many changes in human trends in different eras, the high heels were eventually included in the women's category. Today, few men wear Elevator Shoes, but the design of the "waterproof platform" is not a women's patent – the singer's gospel.
A thick-bottomed and extra-thick air cushion can be worn under any Height Increasing Shoes, whether it is sneakers or a lace-up shoe that is just a little bit, to take care of the men who are not tall enough to wear in a variety of occasions. The increase of air-cushion sneakers is about 3 cm, and the sneakers with sturdy and thick soles have a heightening effect of about 4 – 5 cm.
The hanging thick sole can only be used occasionally. After all, it looks very cumbersome and wants to be covered, and a hidden variant of "high heels" is a great internal increase. The Height Increasing Shoes with their own height increase are too small, generally high-heeled shoes, and the more convenient is the detachable inner heightening sneakers of the Senyue brand.

Workman Arts provides members with access to equipment, gear and materials for on-site projects and classes. Members also have the opportunity to apply for studio space.
4 Lower Hall studios
4 Bay Studios in the Theatre
5 Studios in the shared Visual Art Studio
Workman Arts members are invited to apply for studio spaces for the period of July – December & February – June. The studio hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00-5:00 as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00-7:00.
The studios are semi-private studio spaces in larger shared environments. Each accepted artist will have a dedicated space that includes a storage box you can lock (for work in process, supplies or gear), a table, chair, power source and easel (if required).
The main shared spaces will still be used for classes, member initiatives, rehearsals, other meetings and occasional events. Incubator Studios are intended for quiet, dedicated studio use.
Note that our current building is sadly not wheelchair accessible (and will remain so until construction is complete on our new building at CAMH in 2020).
Artists can sign out gear to be used on-site at Workman Arts for individual projects as well as in workshop and training courses.
You agree to:
Members of Workman Arts are eligible for free rehearsal studio space in our Theatre and Lower Hall. Both spaces are approximately 1000 square feet. Access to gear is also available for rehearsals (please see equipment list above).
If you are interested in booking rehearsal space, please contact a Workman Arts staff member.
Please note that all studios are shared spaces with other artists. Those using rehearsal space should have transparent communication with others using the space in regards to sound, light and content being explored.
Workman Arts is a scent-free facility. Members who book rehearsal space are responsible for making sure their collaborators are also scent-free. To read our code of conduct and scent-free policy, click here.

So far, we've been successful (somewhat) in fixing the problem of service at festivals, or lack thereof. The next major issue is battery life.
I know so many people who would be happy with hardware providers creating a phone with a longer-lasting batter than a few extra DPI on the screen or an integrated "touch-to-sync" capability. We all use our phones so much in this age of technology that for many, we need to have chargers at work as well as home to stay connected throughout the day. This is neither the time nor place to discuss the issues with needing to stay connected, but it's true – millenials are on their phone, or connected, so much that we either have two chargers or two batteries. (Personally, I have two batteries, and even that's not enough sometimes.)
Thankfully, there are a lot of people out there working to find ways around the shortcomings of the stock batteries that companies like Samsung, HTC or Motorola stick us with. (iPhones are rather irrelevant since you cannot swap out the battery without tools.) One such group of people are the developers over at Ampy, a small company that received its funding from donors on Kickstarter, who have developed a solution. The Ampy device uses kinetic energy from your movements, sort of like how you shake an emergency flashlight to create power, to charge its internal batteries. Then, using your USB charger from your iPhone, Android or wearable device, just plug in and charge away.
Different accessories will allow you to optimize your charge based on the way you move, and you can even just slide it into your pocket while you jump at a show.
There's a lot of great features about Ampy, but at the moment, it's still technically in the beta testing phase. You can learn more about the device by watching the video below, visiting their website, or donating to their Kickstarter.

Aerovision transports you from the meeting point to the launch site.
After a briefing, you will be able to participate in the inflation of the balloon, and then it is time to take off.
We fly at different altitudes depending on the landscape, wind conditions and any great opportunities we encounter.
Hot air balloons cannot be steered, so each flight is truly unique.
The balloons do not return to the take-off point. Support vehicles follow their path on the ground.
When we return to earth, it is time to enjoy a bite to eat together. We serve breakfast or a light meal after every flight, with pastries, Crémant d'Alsace sparkling wine and a personalized maiden voyage certificate according to the tradition
The actual flight time varies between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the altitude reached, weather conditions, gas consumption and landing opportunities.
The total duration of the trip is about 5 hours.

How do you price a reface?3/30
Normally if I do a remodel or new cabinets what I do is whatever it costs me I triple it. But for a reface there's obviously a lot less labor. What would you guys do?
Your pricing plan is a guarantee to do one of two things for you and your business.
1. To put you in bankruptcy in fairly short order.
A selling price using a multiple of cost of materials will eventually fail you. There are just too many variables where you will not earn even minimum wage if you persist in pricing projects that way. Let's say you find a project that will require $50 in materials, but will take 2 or 3 trips to the job site to complete the work. The job site is 30 minutes away and takes about 45 minutes to drive to. Each time you go to the job site, you spend 3 hours.
Using your pricing method, the total charges would be $150. Less material cost equals a gross profit of $100.
If it takes you two trips, the math works out this way:
Let's use a rate of $0.50 per mile for operating your truck. The IRS mileage rate is higher, but this keeps the math simple.
2 round trips to the job = 120 miles or $60 in truck cost. $100 minus $60 equals $40.
You have a total of 6.0 hours of work on site, plus 3.0 hours of driving time for a total of 9.0 hours. $40 divided by 9 equals
That scenario does not take into account wear and tear on your tools and equipment, supplies you may not consider as materials for this job, like bits, blades, paper towels, garbage bags, etc., your business insurance cost, your rent and utilities for your shop/office, the time your took to design and order materials (and maybe even pick up the materials) and a host of other costs your business has that you will be paying one way or another. Some of those costs are fixed, meaning they happen every month even if you have $0 in sales. Other costs are variable, and the jobs you run through your business will have costs beyond "materials" you will be buying.
There are lots of ways to approach pricing. My preference is to use a "loaded" labor rate, mark up materials and add profit to that total for each job. A loaded labor rate includes all the fixed expenses you incur, plus your desired earnings per year, plus employee costs, taxes and other variable expenses.
The Cabinet Makers Association used to have a class they offered on pricing that will open your eyes. They may even have it recorded so you can view it online. You may want to look there as a place to start.
If not, I will hire you to do work on our projects, mark up your work, add a profit and sell it to our clients. You are much cheaper than I could do it myself. I cannot hire employees for $6.67 per hour.
Best wishes in your business! Learn pricing for profits and start using it if you want to have a chance of remaining in business for the long term.
There are many variables in refacing work that you cannot always foresee or have control over. It's tough work and labor can quickly blow out. Once you give someone a quote, That is the number they have in there head. It's hard to go back and say this was broken that was damaged extra $$$$.
I would price it with a "heavy" labor component and then add some more to cover your butt. In the past I have also supplied a seperate quote for completely new cabinets, when the price is very close for brand new cabinets sometimes people just go for the new ones. Much better for you, much more predictable.
I'll keep this simple. I don't price those jobs. Too much time that can't be quantified in getting all the details correct. Chase jobs that don't get you crawling in and out of cabinets. To me it is a waste of resources.
If you haven't done a reface, there is a lot more labor and time than you might think. Especially if you are veneering over old frames. I would think everything through before you think of bidding it. I did one a few years back and spent more time applying the veneer and finishing it than I could have build all the frames from scratch.
There are a few ways to reface, but your comment...
"But for a reface there's obviously a lot less labor. What would you guys do?"
...makes me think you haven't done it before... if you don't know the fabrication and/or install process for your particular technique, it'd be like pricing fabricating cabs from scratch and installing them versus buying cabs and installing them...
You have know what you don't know, and to help you, we'd need to know what method of refacing you plan using...
JeffM makes a good point. Consider taking good measurements and building a FF with doors pre attached etc. You can also pre-finish this way. You glue and nail the FF on the old boxes. The nail holes should be sparing and are invisible if you fill them with wax. I did a set of cabinets in cherry this way and they looked like new when I was done.

The nation is set to observe the 15th anniversary of the savage August 21 grenade attack on an Awami League rally in the city with a heavy heart amid various programmes on Wednesday.
Awami League and its associate bodies will observe the day as the 'Grenade Attack Day' with elaborate programmes, including discussions.Besides, partners of the Awami League-led 14-party alliances socio-cultural and professional organisations have taken different programmes to observe the day across the country.
On this day in 2004, the grisly grenade attack was carried out on an anti-terrorism rally arranged by Awami League at Bangabandhu Avenue here during the BNP-Jamaat alliance rule, reportedly a target to kill then leader of the opposition Sheikh Hasina.
At least 24 leaders and activists, including Awami League women affairs secretary and late President Zillur Rahman's wife Ivy Rahman, were killed and 300 others injured in the grenade attack. However, Sheikh Hasina, fortunately, escaped the attack unhurt but her hearing was affected badly.
Nearly 14 years after the gruesome grenade attack, a Dhaka court on October 10 last year sentenced 19 people, including the then BNP-led government's state minister for home affairs, Lutfozzaman Babar, to death.
Tarique Rahman, exiled eldest son of jailed BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia and the party's current acting chairman, and 18 others were also sentenced to life in prison in the case.
On the occasion, Awami League and its associate bodies will place wreaths at a makeshift altar in front of the party's central office at Bangabandhu Avenue in the morning.A discussion will be held at the city's Krishibid Institution of Bangladesh (KIB) in the afternoon chaired by Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

THERE IS DEFINITELY going to be a third season of The Fall, which, as anyone who saw the cliffhanger ending to season two will know, is a good thing.
But what can we expect?
Here's what we know so far
- Both Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson are returning
That's somewhat unsurprising, but with Jamie Dornan's recent success in Fifty Shades of Grey, it would be tempting to presume he'd give the BBC the chop to go spend more time cavorting in Hollywood. Not so.
He will return as serial killer Paul Spector, and set hearts aflutter with fear/lust once more.
The series will still be based in Belfast, and will once again focus on Spector and Superintendent Stella Gibson's relationship. Just how how like it.
Given the ending to season two, some wondered if Dornan would have a major role to play in any future season… the next point should answer that one for you.
- It's going to get more intense
As if it wasn't intense enough as it is, we can expect the third season to really ramp it up, with a focus on a "cat and mouse game" between Spector and Gibson. Who will win?
We're told that the "complex relationship" between Gibson and Spector "intensifies" and "the story of the investigation into the murders becomes more complex and intricate".
Series writer Allan Cubitt has "known the end game from the beginning", the BBC said. Will it mean the charismatic Spector finally getting his comeuppance?
- It will probably be the final season
That's what we can assume from the way Ben Stephenson, the controller of BBC Drama, said that the "cat and mouse game between Gillian and Jamie has one last act to play out".
Meanwhile, Gub Neal, Producer at Artists Studio, said: "A third season gives Allan Cubitt and Artists Studio a chance to pursue the investigation in a way that few crime dramas ever do and complete a cycle of events which will have held audiences for over three years."
- There will be five one-hour episodes
Despite the show's success – it averaged 3.3 million viewers over the last season, and was one of BBC Two's highest performing dramas of 2014 – the broadcaster wasn't tempted to extend the season for its final run.
- People are generally very excited about its return
Will you watch the third series of The Fall?
