It turned out really nice and he used it again this year. We did as much camping over the summer as possible, but there is never enough time! Tim and friend Denny rebuilt the front porch, stairs and all. What an amazing feat that was.

We still have two cows, Mama and Norma Noel, but Norma is fully grown now. We had planned to put meat in the freezer this year but could not get the slaughter company to call us back. Then we got really busy with other projects and the next thing you know we have a rented bull in the pasture "visiting" our ladies.

When the flakes started falling, I left work and headed for home. The wind was fierce. I made it home with no problems other than slipping and sliding up our driveway.

Venture For America Partners with Rebrand Cities to Help Local Businesses Get Online
[Detroit, MI] [June 2019]- Venture For America (VFA), a two-year fellowship program for recent college graduates interested in entrepreneurship and working in a fast-paced, innovative startup environment, announced that it will host its 2nd Annual Website Challenge in partnership with Rebrand Cities during its signature Training Camp program in Detroit this summer.
Last year, 28 local Detroit businesses participated in the Website Challenge, in which VFA Fellows helped those businesses create or improve their digital presence. For the challenge, the Fellows work in teams of 5 to 6 to build their websites. This year the challenge is open to small businesses across all 14 VFA cities. During the week of training, Fellows learn how to build websites through workshops featuring domain research, design, coding, and more.
"We set up the Website Challenge initially as a means for Fellows to learn transferable skills. By partnering with Rebrand Cities, we have been able to make it not just a learning project, but a tangible output that can positively impact a business owner and its existence in their city," said Cris Landa, VFA's Director of Learning.
Mario Kelly, the founder of B3l1ev3 Staffing Services, is one of those business owners who participated last year and was blown away by the impact this had on his business. "The website challenge took my business to a whole new level," he shared. Shortly after his website went live, he got a call from PepsiCo who wanted to use his services to hire 20 people. "This took my company from grassroots to the next level. Without the website, I would have never gotten that [PepsiCo] contract," he said.
Bryce Detroit from Detroit Recordings also had an overwhelmingly positive experience with this initiative. "Working with the Fellows was a really cool experience. Based on the nature of my company, which is a social enterprise, there is a social, cultural, political undercurrent to what I do, and it was refreshing to see young people who were so receptive to social enterprise. They wanted to learn more about my business impacts people," he shared.
VFA and Rebrand Cities expect to see more success stories come out of this year's Challenge. "46% of U.S. Small Businesses have no website. Our partnership with Venture For America and WordPress.com is designed to help local businesses participate in the digital economy and become visual when potential customers are looking for them," shared Hajj Flemings CEO of Rebrand Cities. Members of the press are invited to cover the Challenge and the final presentations which will happen on the campus of Wayne State University. It will take place during the first week of July. https://rebrandvfacities.eventbrite.com

The Jack the Stripper/Nude Killings case of the early 1960s was a huge deal at the time. Seven murders, hundreds of policemen deployed, masses of press coverage. But it was never solved. And the culprit is the most prolific, never caught serial killer in Britain of the Twentieth Century. Actually, he would seem to be the most prolific never caught serial killer this country has ever produced. Ahead even of the other more famous Jack. It is strange how little this case is remembered. Even ten years later it had apparently largely been forgotten
Between 1962 and 1965 (although there may have been another victim in 1959), the bodies of seven murdered prostitutes were found in West London. Initially their bodies were left in The Thames, but then the killer changed M.O slightly and abandoned them outside various commercial premises. One of the biggest manhunts in British history was launched, but despite the arrived of legendary Chief Superintendent John Du Rose, the killer just vanished into the ether.
Robin Jarossi's book is the best guide to the case I have ever come across. One which examines it in a great deal of detail and with a magnificent amount of empathy.
That last point is important, as Jarossi really does go far out of his way not to portray the victims as just victims, but actual people themselves. That's particularly hard to do (and thus particularly impressive) as it seems the police at the time, and the press reporting on it, often saw them as nothing more than common prostitutes and not people to be mourned. They were still condemned, even as their deaths were being investigated. But Jarossi does his best – sometimes with only scattered fragments of information to go on – to make them real and not just grainy photos on a police investigation room wall.
Of course, he doesn't solve the case, but he sets up some interesting theories and dismisses some other theories, and – without a doubt – gives the best oversight to this strangely forgotten case there's ever been.
My debut novel, THE WANNABES – which has been out of print for a little while – is now available for free! A supernatural thriller of beautiful actresses and deadly ambition in London town, it's well worth your time. You can get your copy here!

Title: The Ex-Wife
Author: Jess Ryder
Publisher: Bookouture
Publication Date: June 5, 2018
Page Count: 342
My rating: 4 stars
About the book:
You've got everything she wants …
Newly married Natasha has the perfect house, a loving husband and a beautiful little girl called Emily. She'd have it all if it wasn't for Jen, her husband's ex-wife who just won't leave them alone …
Then Natasha returns home one day to find her husband and Emily gone without trace. Desperate to get her daughter back, Natasha will do anything even if it means accepting an offer of help from Jen. But can she trust her? And do either of them really know the man they married?
If you loved The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl or The Couple Next Door then this dark, twisting psychological thriller from Amazon chart bestseller Jess Ryder is guaranteed to have you gripped.
My oh my, what a bumpy ride Jess Ryder has taken me on with The Ex-Wife. This one is a psychological thriller that keeps a reader guessing all the way until the very end, and then maybe even after you've finished the book.
Starting with a prologue in a hospital with no idea who you are reading about the book then starts at chapter 1 with Anna in the present. From then the chapters begin to flash back to then with Natasha. The things is Natasha is the current wife and Jen is the ex-wife, so the question becomes who is Anna?
Natasha had met Nick in a chance encounter while he was married to Jen. Jen and Nick had been childhood sweethearts but their marriage seemed to be one of convenience and coming to an end so when Natasha falls pregnant Nick divorces and marries her.
Jen however keeps pushing her way into the marriage even three years later. Natasha thinks things are fine however until one day Nick packs up and takes their daughter and disappears and with no where else to turn Natasha accepts Jen's help finding her daughter.
So many layers to this story that with each passing chapter I felt like a kid at Christmas hastily unwrapping to learn more details. It's definitely a gripping read from start to finish but when done I just wanted to continue on as I felt some things are let up in the air and my poor imagination ran wild. Such an intense ride from start to finish that I'd definitely recommend checking this one out.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Working in automotive industryI never normally write about automotive simply because I'm not a "vehicle girl," I am basically a PR girl who fell into operating in the automotive business. Apart from education listeners for item analysis, there are advantages in instruction audio marketing and advertising and sales people to turn out to be much better crucial listeners. Education makes them much better equipped to communicate sound good quality problems to audio engineers and clients. As audio firms expand sales and operations in China, India, and other establishing nations, there is a increasing want to develop a frequent cross-cultural understanding as to what constitutes excellent sound and unacceptable sound.
Although personal computer programmers are not the ones in charge of the complete application expertise, and often have no involvement with the final user interface of the programs they develop, their work is still crucial in an increasingly smart" sector. Today's automobiles are much more integrated than ever with portable devices and wireless signals, and computer scientists have the programming capabilities required to generate extremely safe, reliable, customized applications that help each automaker differentiate itself from its nearest competitors.
I simply wanted to appreciate you but once more. I am not certain what I would have utilised without having the sort of details shared by you directly on such a topic. This was a extremely alarming setting in my view, however , spending time with a skilled mode you handled that made me to cry for fulfillment. I am just satisfied for this data and hence hope you are aware of a excellent job you are undertaking teaching most men and women using a blog. I know that you've never ever got to know all of us.

I was supposed to take the boy for a medical this morning but I had to abandon that idea as I needed to go to the doctor myself to get her signature so I could play in the journalists' tennis tournament at Roland Garros over the next few weeks.
I was quite looking forward to taking my son along for his series of checks. I went with my eldest daughter a few years back and they test everything there is to probe. Ears, eyes, logic and probably ask the parent a few searching questions to make sure the bairn is being reared properly.
So my partner left early to take him off while I had the pleasure of staying with the girls who would accompany me to my 1040am appointment.
To butter them up I suggested tartines at the cafe before. Actually there was quite a lot of butter on the bread. That didn't seem to be that healthy so I scraped about a teaspoonful off. That was easy to deal with.
What's not so simple to cope with usually is the waiting at the doctor. Especially with the baby who either wants to spend the time screaming or clumping around. So the trip with an eight and five-year-old was a joy.
The eldest read her Totally Spies book while the other played with the various toys in the room.
At 1115 it was my moment. The youngest came in with me obviously intrigued by the idea of me going in for a check up.
The doc did my blood pressure. Good. Quizzed me about smoking. None. Knew my cholesterol was low because that was checked last year. I said I was cutting down on the alcohol (in readiness for the new football season in the top flight) and I added that I was going more regularly to the swimming pool.
She pointed at my belly and said running is good for the muscles. Well I guess I was being self-congratulatory.
Everything was whirling along. She asked me to do 30 squats. Mimi started counting with me at around 15.
I completed the task and my heart slowed down in a healthy manner. I got my certificate and got one thrown in for the forthcoming football season.
The entire family came with me over to Auteuil to deposit the dossier at Roland Garros; the cheque for 23 euros; photocopies of the French press card; doctor's certificate and a grid detailing availability.
I left the family at the Serres D'Auteuil - a series of greenhouses holding an array of wild and wonderful plants.
Once inside the Roland Garros complex I was directed to the press centre at Court Suzanne Lenglen.
I haven't been anywhere near the stadium since Rafael Nadal unhinged the machine that is Roger Federer in the men's final back in June.
Could I too conquer my foes on the terre battue and emulate the Manacor Matador?
Unlikely. I'm not a son of the soil. Worse still I'm not even left-handed.
Back in the world of level-headed people. I found my way to the event organiser Michelle Laune. She was seated at a table covered with piles of entry forms.
I introduced myself and asked if there were likely to be any problems with me being away on Sunday and Monday in London and working most afternoons in Paris.
"Actually we're not playing on Sunday," she informed me. "Paris St Germain are playing Marseille and they're locking down the area."
"With good reason," I chimed
"Can you play this Saturday morning at 9 or 10am?"
Given my limitations it seemed churlish to say no. But if I do play on Saturday my limitations will be fairly evident.
I haven't played competitively since my school days and more importantly I haven't played since my knock-up with my godson in Denver back in July.
But this is for the experience of gracing a clay court at Roland Garros. As I went to find the family in the Serres d'Auteuil I found myself chanting: "I'm going out on the court to enjoy myself." Clichéd gunk but I felt like a professional for saying it.
One of Ms Laune's helpers said there were about 170 people down to take part. I'm relaxed about the form of it all as I plan to go out and give it my best shot because I'm a Corinthian at heart and besides I don't have any rivals on the sports journalist circuit whom I just absolutely have to annihilate.
Would PSG and Marseille approach their Division 1 matches in a similarly beatific way. Their rivalry knows no bounds. But it's a pitifully young animosity in comparison to a clash between Rangers and Celtic or Arsenal and Tottenham or even Liverpool and Manchester United.
Why it couldn't really hold a flare to the intricate republican/fascist angst of a Barca v Real Madrid showdown.
Essentially the PSG Marseille squabble goes back to the early 90's, when Marseille was dominating the championship and the TV channel Canal+ bought PSG and made it a big team.
PSG don't really do great things in the league now. No one does because Lyon has usually had the title sewn up before a ball is kicked in anger.
In fact at the moment it's fascinating in France because Lyon aren't 200,000 points clear after five games.
Winning six games is my motivation at the moment. I just have to make sure the opponent doesn't have seven.

Measurement of temperature is today popular and also in-expensive. You can have a temperature recorder based on a computer with date and time for about 100-200 Euro/$. Such equipment can also record humidity shocks etc. Recorder equipment can also be small with a diameter from only 2 cm.
For measuring food temperature and time have to be added together. And you can purchase TTI (=Time-Temperature-Indicators) from only 1 Euro/$.

text: Vsu 1 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hi! For my chemistry IA, I'm doing it on whether temperature affects buffer capacity, and the buffer solution I'm experimenting with the McIlvaine Buffer. And I know, I'm so stupid for using this buffer cause there's barely any information on it. I was wondering if anybody would know what the equilibrium chemical equation for it would be? I'm a little confused as to how it would work when there's citric acid (C6H8O7) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) and then add sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to it as the titrant. I understand the basic buffer equation, with a weak acid and it's conjugate base in equilibrium and hydrogen ions floating around that then react with added strong bases, but since this buffer has disodium hydrogen phosphate in it as well as citric acid, I'm not entirely sure how it works. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you so much. Reply Link to post Share on other sites

Initiative for Women's Economic Empowerment (IWEE)
Worldwide economic empowerment of women is "a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world" as articulated in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In the developed world, women lack equal access to the C-suite and Boards, and implicit bias often discourages them from pursuing STEM-related degrees. Globally, women make up the majority of the world's poor. Research shows that women who are economically empowered contribute more to their families, communities, and national economies, providing a path to sustainable, global development.
In the heart of the world's most innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem, Santa Clara University is committed to social justice. The Initiative for Women's Economic Empowerment, IWEE, is a joint initiative between the Leavey School of Business and Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship that will accelerate economic empowerment of women leaders in Silicon Valley, STEM disciplines, and in the developing world as social entrepreneurs.

MILLINOCKET, Maine, February 1, 2015 – It's interesting to see how the New York Times continues to try to tell us what we think. The spin on the latest Times/Stanford poll is a case in point.
From January 7 – 22, 2015, one thousand and six adults were polled nationwide.
The headline reads:
"Most Republicans Say They Back Climate Action, Poll Finds."
The lead sentences starts with:
"An overwhelming majority of the American public, including half of Republicans, support government action to curb global warming…."
If you just accept that statement, you might think that most people have just had a climate epiphany and there's now little or no opposition to the climate change agenda.
In an attempt to affect the 2016 elections with the poll's results, we are told that Americans are not likely to vote for a candidate with questions or denials of the "science" that humans are the cause of global warming.
And apparently almost half (48 percent) of Republicans polled are said to support the effort to curb climate change.
But later in the story it is declared that "Many Republican candidates question the science of climate change or do not publicly address the issue."
Do you see what they did there?
They tried to pry apart the opinions of polled Republicans and split them from candidate Republicans.
In reference to global climate change the phrase "Assuming it's happening" is used numerous times, which sounds as if the authors of the poll aren't sure about it either.
Of course the Times highlights the portions of the poll that appear to support its premise as stated in the headline and the lede. What else could we expect?

text: Pubdate: Sat, 09 Dec 2017 Source: Kingston Whig-Standard (CN ON) Copyright: 2017 Sun Media Contact: http://www.thewhig.com/letters Website: http://www.thewhig.com/ Details: http://www.mapinc.org/media/224 Author: Elliot Ferguson Page: A1 SAFE INJECTION SITE SOUGHT Currently, some of the city's drug users have set up supervised sites in their own homes Contamination of the street drug supply with substances such as fentanyl has forced some of the city's drug users to set up their own supervised consumption sites in their homes. The agency that works most closely with drug users says the home sites indicate that Kingston needs a formal, government-sanctioned consumption site. "We definitely know there is a need because we are aware of people using their homes right now as safer places to use," said Dr. Meredith MacKenzie, a physician for Kingston Community Health Centres' Street Health Centre who described a home site as a "not perfectly safe, but safer, environment to use in." "They've just done what they had to do in response to safety issues. "I'm not convinced they want to do this in their homes," MacKenzie added. "I think they would want something more formalized as well. "I think the advent of drug contamination and then these very potent fentanyl analogs that are in our community, people have had to be responsive to that. This is their response; this is how people are being safer." On Thursday, the provincial government announced additional responses to the opioid crisis, including asking permission under a new federal government policy to allow setting up formal, temporary overdose-prevention sites. MacKenzie said progress on the opioid crisis will only be possible if it is seen as a health issue rather than a criminal matter. "I think when you shift the conversation and you look at drug use as a medical problem rather than considering it criminal, my hope is that alone will change people's opinions on whether we need supervised consumption sites," she said. More than a month ago, city council voted, after some delay, to distribute naloxone kits in city-owned and administrated facilities. The day after council voted, Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington Public Health expanded its access program for naloxone. "Definitely it is an evidence informed intervention," Dr. Fareen Karachiwalla, public health's associate medical officer of health, said. "It does more than just save lives." Karachiwalla said more than 75 studies have shown the benefits of safe consumption sites for drug users. Both MacKenzie and Karachiwalla said plans for a safe consumption site in Kingston are in the very early stages and community consultation will have to happen before anything gets set up. Until then, Street Health has been training people involved with the drug scene how to use naloxone, which counters the effects of a fentanyl overdose. Since the Street Health Opioid Overdose Prevention Program started in September 2015, nearly 2,000 naloxone kits have been handed out and more than 4,000 community members have been trained how to use them. In many cases, MacKenzie said, the people trained and equipped with naloxone post their certificate on their apartment doors so other people in their building know they can get a naloxone kit there. Since 2015, 173 overdoses have been reversed using naloxone. "Most people who are using heroin are well aware of the contamination risks and I think the home supervised consumption sites are a response to that," MacKenzie said. "I can't tell you the last time I saw someone who is using heroin that doesn't have fentanyl in it. It's been months." - --- MAP posted-by: Matt

Workers of primarily but not exclusively Mexican descent in Western Washington carry out agricultural labor. Since the 1940s Washington State has been successful in recruiting Latino migrants to work in agricultural activities, as well as the manufacturing, service, and food processing sectors of Central Washington. Currently the area is home to first, second, and now third generation Latinos, and Hispanics have been the majority population of over twenty cities and small towns, and are the majority population in two counties in 2010. Although groups of Latinos physically reside in the communities of contemporary Central Washington, and have done so in some cases for generations, it may be argued that they have had minimal impact and left differing impressions on the cultural landscapes of the region.
Using various research tools including census data, fieldwork observation, government record analysis, and face-to-face interviews with business owners, seasonal migrants, and local residents, this project will examine issues of Latino Placemaking in twenty-one cities of Central Washington where Latinos constitute a majority. Within the analysis two cities are highlighted, Othello and Sunnyside, which demonstrate contrasting patterns of how Latino population growth, culture, identity, and sense of place has impacted the built environments, physical landscapes, and governing bodies of the communities. These two towns represent very different and distinctive patterns of Latino Placemaking in a region that has historically not embraced diversity. Finally, this study examines a site of cultural Placemaking, the Pasco flea market, and the ways that it provides a space for cross-cultural and pan-Latino interaction and community building. There are many opportunities in this region for city planners, social services and companies to reach out to the Latino demographic. Latino Placemaking offers city planners and community organizers a new direction to strengthen community engagement, create meaningful, inclusive, and healthy places for residents, as well as strengthen local economies of Central Washington.

Hurricane Risk and Sea Level Rise Webinar
Hurricane Irma, which made U.S. landfall in the Florida Keys as a Category 4 storm with 130 mph winds, exposed the vulnerabilities of coastal communities and infrastructure, and raised important questions about preparedness, mitigation and growth. After a decade of "quiet" hurricane seasons, in 2016 (Matthew) and then Irma in 2017 caused significant wind and water damage.
Metropolitan Center researchers will present the findings of their annual hurricane preparedness survey, the changing insurance environment in Florida and other topics related to hurricane mitigation. Of particular focus in the discussion will be the landscape of local government planning and flood insurance, and how it affects the development, affordability and resilience of coastal areas.
Here's how Hurricane Irma stacks up against some of the biggest hurricanes in recent decades:
Category, wind speed
Hurricane Andrew, in 1992, landed in the US as a Category 5 with 143 mph winds.
Hurricane Frances, in 2004, was a Category 2 with 105 mph winds.
Hurricane Jeanne, also in 2004, was a Category 3 with 120 mph winds.
Hurricane Katrina, in 2005, which landed three times in the United States in Categories 1, 3 and 5, had winds of 125 mph.
Hurricane Rita, also in 2005, was a Category 3 with winds of 115 mph.
Hurricane Wilma, also in 2005, was a Category 3 with winds of 125 mph.
Irma: More than 6 million
Andrew: 1 million
Frances: 2.8 million
Jeanne: 2.5 million
Katrina: 1.5 million
Rita: more than 2.5 million
Wilma: 760,000
A death count for Irma has not yet been compiled, currently 34
Hurricane Andrew: 65
Frances: 7
Jeanne: 6
Katrina: 1,833
Rita: 7
Wilma: 25
A complete damage estimate for Irma has not yet been compiled.
Andrew: $25 billion
Frances: $12 billion
Jeanne: $6.9 billion
Katrina: $108 billion
Rita: $10.5 billion
Wilma: $29 billion

Beauty is a characteristic of an animal, idea, object, person or place that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, culture, social psychology, philosophy and sociology. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection.
Ugliness is considered to be the opposite of beauty.
The experience of "beauty" often involves an interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. Because this can be a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
There is evidence that perceptions of beauty are evolutionary determined, that things, aspects of people and landscapes considered beautiful are typically found in situations likely to give enhanced survival of the perceiving human's geneswhatzup

When he was first introduced to the public, the gamer's eyes immediately looked and focused on what he was offering. How come? When most games pursue a quality visualization may be realistic or contradictory, offering pixel-based visualization to bring a more subtle nostalgic sensation, this one game actually takes its inspiration from the 1930s cartoons. Visualizations are certainly familiar to those of you who are familiar with cartoons such as Disney when he first headed for the television screen. A presentation approach that makes many gamers fall in love.
But regardless of the shape that is so cute and adorable, Cuphead is certainly not a game that is thought for this. He is not a platforming game that follows the Mario or Rayman style that offers the challenge of design, but ends "easy" to complete with a little dedication and skill in it. Instead, Cuphead actually sells what we rarely find in a platforming game - high difficulty level. True, following the Souls series format and the games in the console generation of the past, it is designed as a game that will test not only your eye and hand coordination capabilities but also patience.
So, what is actually offered by this Cuphead? Why do we call it a cartoon game for masochists? This review will discuss it more deeply for you.
PlotCuphead's own name actually refers to the name of one person's main character, as does Mario. But from the story of his own story, he actually concerns one other character - Mugman, who is here, you can position like Luigi. Both are the character of the protagonist who actually has a sincere and fun personality. It's just that they're not smart enough to follow suggestions that seem relevant to us in the real world - do not play with the devil.
In a world called Inkwell Isle, the lucky Cuphead and Mugman end up at Devil's Casino headed by a character named King Dice. As the name implies, this casino contains various types of gambling. Cuphead and Mugman's triumphant increase their risk of luck with one bet that changed everything. They will be entitled to take over the Devil's Casino if they win, but if they lose, they must surrender their souls to Satan. Too optimistic, Cuphead and Mugman also agreed the bet.
As can be predicted, it does not end well. Cuphead and Mugman end up losing. But not immediately lifting their lives, the Devil offers an alternative solution to another. Both characters with the head of this cup were asked to collect contracts from Inkwell Isle residents who lost their lives before tomorrow night. To carry out this tough task, both are equipped with the power to fire fire from their fingertips by Elder Kettle - their supervisor. So go Cuphead and Mugman to run the job to secure their lives.
So, what kind of challenges must be faced by Cuphead and Mugman? Can they save their own lives? You should of course get an answer to this question, by directly tasting the Cuphead itself.
Hand DrawingOne aspect that is sure to make many gamers end up familiar with Cuphead is the visualization approach he offers. In contrast to most games that despite the pursuit of cartoon flavor, end up offering a quality of modern-looking animation, Cuphead takes a unique approach that is ready to steal anyone's attention. True, a presentation that reminds you of cartoons that had appeared in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The initial flavor when Mickey Mouse was finally introduced in the form of an animated film.
To achieve that effect, everything you find in this Cuphead, from just the environment, characters, to animations and facial reactions that are blended with hand drawings, just like old cartoons in the past. This one process produces a more authentic taste, such as the atmosphere that MDHR is trying to pursue - the developer.
So what you find is a game that has a pampering visualization, but on the other hand, shows a strong enough personality for each character and level that it offers. The taste of the 1930s cartoon is indeed slightly "injured" with the initial design with modern high definition colors. But along with the progress of the game, especially if you have enough "intention", you can open up extra content filters to use - black and white and a two-color filter to produce a more "old" impression again.
So like watching Steamboat Willie from Mickey Mouse, you'll find an expressive world within the limitations that exist. The sound of gunshots, explosions, and grumpy characters are clear, short, and imply a classic flavor that strengthens the atmosphere. Shouts or types of attacks sometimes even rooted in the effect of writing expression coming out of the mouth of the enemy, the detail that we think increasingly makes Cuphead look unique and "old". Of course, the string of things is the accompanying music, which, in our opinion, is even worth talking about in separate sessions later on.
The point? From the side of the presentation, Cuphead appear to spoil the eye through a unique approach to her classic cartoon style. But not just a "unique" course, the developer seems to succeed in offering authentic taste through the quality of hand drawing, sound effects options, to melting music into a fantastic element. Something is enough to make you fall in love, from the first sight.
Git Gud!But do not be fooled by the cute form he offers, because believe it or not, like the story he's holding, playing Cuphead will feel like you're caught in a deal with Satan. A game that is ready to frustrate and despair, but on the other hand, offers a difficult satisfaction to describe if you succeed in solving every challenge. True, this is not an easy game.
You might think that this game is platformer based. Not wrong, but also not true. Cuphead itself divides itself into two great modes: Boss Fight and Run & Gun. For Run & Gun, you can see it is no different from platformer game in general. The point is to move from point A to point B, and make sure you're not dead in the middle. Remember, there is no checkpoint system here. So, with your super limited life, this is an uncompromising platformer game. Once you end up failing and dead, then you have to repeat this platforming process back from the beginning. Continually, until you succeed.
But the core of the Cuphead gameplay is actually more focused on the battle against the boss who comes with many variants here. And herein lies the real Cuphead "fun". Bringing the boss fight formula of the platformer games in general, each boss will come up with a clear and definitive pattern of attack. Usually present through several phases that each of them will offer different types of attacks and challenges, the focus is to survive while hurting them with the weapons you use. But of course, do not expect this to be easy. Because in the end, this is a game that will require you to go through a fairly intense trial and error process, until finally, you will learn and understand how to subdue each of them.
Because without any mercy, every boss is not an easy thing that can be underestimated. Patterned attacks mean demanding concentration to not only act, but also predict what will happen next. The variant changes for each boss that can be present in 2-4 different formats mean necessity to not only recognize, but also understand what you should do, you should avoid, and should think about afterwards. Because remember, this is a game without a checkpoint system. With a limited life of 3 (minimum) which allows you to only accept 3 times damage / battle, killing means it will require you to repeat everything from scratch. So like the sensations offered by the Souls series, there is no more effective strategy other than applying the essential "Git Gud" strategy here.
Moreover, there is a level of randomness here. Not enough to carry only 2-4 variants / boss only, each boss sometimes also comes with different variants of attack that will be present in random format. You will not be able to predict what kind of attack will approach your battle session this time, something that might not happen before or after. As an example? There is a boss with a Slot Machine theme that can issue a specific attack depending on the same image that appears on the screen. There is no clear sequence about these attacks, and there are three different variants that each will require different avoiding and attacking actions. Seize Slot Machine attacks can be the same or even, much different from your next gameplay session if you end up dead. And there are plenty of enemies like this to make your gameplay sessions more interesting and challenging.
The good news? Cuphead also provides many alternative "solutions" that you can use. Through a pig-shaped merchant that will appear on every chapter, you can buy a variant of a weapon or a permanent buff that you can install. Relying on Gold resources that you can collect through the limited Run & Gun gameplay series, you can buy weapons or equipment that roughly, can support your play style. There is a powerful shotgun-style weapon but within a short distance, there are weapons that require you to charge for greater damage, to a buff that will increase the number of your HP to make you automatically do parry attacks at the beginning.
Parry? True, this game also carries the parry system. Unfortunately, of all the mechanics he offers, this may be one of the most "weak" mechanics. By pressing the jump button in the right timing, especially for all things pink (either pink) or enemy projectile attack itself, you can activate parry. It will neutralize the damage, give extra jumps, and fill your Power bar for special attacks. Although it sounds tempting, but amid the scandalous conditions of the screen with so many attacks and things to watch out for, Parry's action will usually end up with a disproportionate risk rather than an appropriate reward. Of course, this is different if Parry is the only solution needed to fight back or finish the stage.
Because in the end, consistency to continue to damage is more important than just collecting the Power bar in the form of a card for a special attack with great damage. Even if you end up collecting 5 cards (Max), you will be able to access a more special attack called Super Art that will be able to generate even greater damage. But do not have to do Parry, this bar will also be filled along with the more damage that you catapult to any enemies. According to us personally, ideally, this Parry system should have a reward that is much more worth it. We would not mind trying it if he could, for example, recover our HP bar if it is executed successfully. For now, Parry is a mechanic that does not feel "worthy" to be pursued, unless it is essential for your progress or battle strategy.
Fantastic MusicAs we talked about before, one of the most fantastic things about Cuphead is the music he offers. Indeed from the visual presentation side, you can already find a strong impression that he was inspired from the classic cartoon film. But in the end, it is the music that appears like the glue that makes everything, ends up far more fantastic.
The dominant classical jazz music will accompany your action, unique and different in every level. Kian makes the classic cartoon atmosphere more authentic, this music fuses with a sweet and solid in the gameplay that of course takes a high concentration. Noisy, not too dominant to mess up your attention, and sound so fitting with the "monster" you're facing on screen, the original Cuphead soundtrack will make you fall in love. At least, he will make the process of trial and error that is sure to happen to dozens or even dozens of times, does not feel boring.
We will not even be surprised if you end up choosing to include some original OSTs of this game into your portable mp3 playlist, just to enjoy it. Delightful cartoonish flavor to accompany your day, as long as you do not associate it with the "nightmare" and frustration that may arise during the music accompanying your action in the gameplay.
ConclusionAn amazingly exciting game, no longer a sentence that seems appropriate to explain what kind of experience Cuphead has to offer. You may start to fall in love with the visual presentation that he offers or the music that merges all the elements so well, but most of you will probably survive because of the solid gameplay and high difficulty level that is ready to challenge you. There is a strong impression that each of these challenges can be rationally subdued, until the trial and error process for one boss is not impossible, will run up to tens of times. However once you have overcome it, as does the Souls series, there is an unmatched satisfaction followed by a feeling of maximum relief. That's the main attraction of Cuphead. Complexity does not come from simple key input, but from how hard your fighting power is to get it done.
Of course, this game is not perfect. There is not much we can talk about what we can really complain about. But if you have to choose, then so valuable parry system in mechanics as a whole seems to be a separate note. MDHR can actually make Cuphead players much more interested in taking the risk of parry if they provide equivalent rewards, such as making it able to recover HP for example, which of course is very valuable. But what is happening now, he is nothing more than a "prime requirement" to complete several stages and fight some existing bosses. But when it comes to an alternative, it seems that no one will be interested in taking the risk of jumping over a projectile or any object, which could be the end of their lives.
But of course, with all this appeal, Cuphead is still not a game that everyone can "enjoy". For frustrated and frustrated gamers with the level of difficulty of modern games that seem to offer a short solution to all problems, Cuphead seems to be the source of new problems that they will not want to approach. But for gamers lover of challenges and games with high difficulty levels, such as the Souls series for example, this is a quality title that you will not want to miss. This is a cartoon for you who are masochists.

Knitting - a finished Ombré cashmere scarf
This kit contains 8 skeins that are specifically dyed for Purl Soho and blend into each other to deliver the ombré effect. I only knitted this scarf during travel when I went to Germany to my parents and over the past couple of months a little here and there which is why it took the best part of a year.
The scarf is knitted in simple ribbing stitch and about 20" x by 70" in size. I washed it and blocked it last weekend and have been wearing it ever since although it is not really cold enough.
This has got to be the softest cashmere I have ever touched, it's almost like feeling warm soft water and not at all like wool.
The set comes in 5 different colours and each is very tempting but knitting a scarf of this length is also a little boring eventually. So I am glad it's finished and I can move on to the next one.
