The SELF project (Sustainable Services for Everyone beyond the Lifetime of the project at Fair price) is a CS WASH Fund project that aims to enable 10 Local Authorities to provide sustainable safe water supply and sanitation services, and promote good hygiene practices among the citizens in their areas of jurisdiction.
The SELF project was initiated by Welthungerhilfe Zimbabwe, through Australian Aid funding, to support urban councils across Zimbabwe with training, technical personnel and grants for water and sanitation hardware rehabilitation.
Community Health Clubs the Answer to Environmental Challenges in Gwanda Town
5 July 2016
Gwanda Town is the Provincial capital of Matabeleland South province, situated about 126 km south of Bulawayo, the country's second largest city. In the last decade the town has seen a lot of population growth and increased demand for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) service delivery. World Vision Zimbabwe working in conjunction with the Municipality of Gwanda (MoG) is implementing an Australian Aid Funded WASH project, funds managed by UNICEF. The project has supported and promoted the Participatory Health and Hygiene Education activities that have led to the establishment of school and community health clubs. The clubs now serve as a source of information and inspiration in strengthening and improving hygiene practices.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Danny Kaye was at the height of his popularity when The Danny Kaye Show debuted on CBS in the fall of 1963. A pair of Broadway hits – Lady In the Dark and Let's Face It – and a succession of classic films including The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, The Inspector General, Knock on Wood, Up In Arms, The Court Jester, Hans Christian Andersen, and White Christmas made Danny Kaye one of the biggest stars in show business. His international humanitarian work for UNICEF, and sold out concerts at places like the London Palladium and the Palace Theater in New York helped make Danny Kaye a worldwide sensation. He won the Emmy Award for best variety performer in 1964, and the show was honored with three more Emmys, including outstanding variety series. The Danny Kaye Show was the perfect showcase for its star's unequaled range of talents. In this collection of six uncut episodes – available now for the first time - Danny sings with Ella Fitzgerald, Nana Mouskouri and Harry Belafonte. He sings and dances with Liza Minnelli and Gene Kelly, and deftly clowns his way through comedy sketches with Art Carney, Rod Serling, Jackie Cooper, and a certain perennially 39-year old legend of comedy, who makes an unannounced cameo appearance. Also featured in this collection are Michelle Lee, Buddy Greco, John Gary, Joe & Eddie, Lovelady Powell and Alan Young. Series regulars include Harvey Korman, Jamie Farr, Joyce Van Patten and orchestra leader Paul Weston. Among the numerous gems found in The Best of the Danny Kaye Show: Danny conducting the Television City Philharmonic, a spoof of The Twilight Zone with Rod Serling, and performances of Danny Kaye classics "Pavlova" – written by Danny's wife Sylvia Fine and originally seen in the film The Kid From Brooklyn, and "Ballin' the Jack" from On the Riviera. Danny's other numbers include, "You Make Me Feel So Young", "Pennies From Heaven", and a rollicking duet with Harry Belafonte on "Hava Nagila." Whether experiencing the joy that is Danny Kaye for the first time, or revisiting his extraordinary gifts, viewers of all ages will find the irresistible and legendary entertainer at the top of his game on The Best of the Danny Kaye Show.
Product Description:
This collection of highlights from the Emmy award winning variety program THE DANNY KAYE SHOW include the famous host performing with such celebrities as Gene Kelly, HARRY BELAFONTE, Ella Fitzgerald, Art Carney, Rod Serling and more, while the cast of regulars included such future television stars as Jamie Farr and Harvey Korman.

Renal osteodystrophy includes a spectrum of metabolic bone disorders ranging from osteomalacia due to calcium lack to osteitis fibrosa cystica due to secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism. To better define a physiological guide to therapy, patterns of response to a standardized intravenous calcium infusion were studied in patients undergoing chronic dialysis. Patients with severe X-ray changes of osteitis fibrosa demonstrated significantly lesser increments in plasma calcium with a significant coincident fall in plasma phosphorus when compared with similarly dialyzed controls, suggesting rapid assimilation of calcium by unmineralized bone. Plasma parathormone, measured by radioimmunoassay, was four times higher in bone-disease patients than

After eating a true 4x4 from In-N-Out, he proceeded to ingest three additional quad-patty burgers. Out of respect for his heart, we left off the cheese and other trimmings.

As the amiable host, Ryan Seacrest stated, "we'll see how well they perform under the bright lights and big stage of the Kodak Theatre." Either the nerves took over or some just seemed ill-prepared for the task. Judge Simon Cowell, infamous for telling it like it is, responded to one contestant by saying ...Read Full Post »

Portugal's centuries of equestrian tradition took off from from a long time and in the 17th and 18 century with the royal houses taking interest in the sport with a mix of European and Arabian as well as the local horse breed. Some inbreeding must have taken place and the result is a sturdy breed that has enjoyed world patronage as a fast and easily trainable horse in the Lusitano. The tradition lives on with several major annual sporting events celebrating the Lusitano breed throughout Portugal.
The Breed's Roots
The Lusitano breed is one of the most distinguished horse breed in the world. It is believed to have come from inbreeding of the native Iberian Berber horse that have been a product of inbreeding with various European breed that came with the conquering Carthaginians, Romans and Germanic tribes. With the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula by the Muslims in the Middle Ages, the inbreeding with the Arabian horse gave the Lusitano new breed characteristics.
But it was only in the 1940s that a serious concerted effort by the National stud farm to come up with a thoroughbred to distinguish it from the Spanish breed came to fruition. The Lusitano as the world knows it today was officially distinguished as a Portuguese breed in 1962 from a similar horse from other Spanish breeders. The Lusitano horse breed is a Portuguese horse highly appreciated amongst equestrian aficionados the world over. They can be found in abundant numbers notably in Brazil, France and Mexico and often seen in shows and equestrian events.

Multiple Customers Engaged; Fundamental Libraries, IP, and the Foundry Industry's First Transformer Library Available
UMC (NYSE: UMC), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced that its 65-nanometer (nm) RFCMOS process is ready for customer design-in. Several customers are engaged for this advanced RF process, which is targeted for next generation wireless system-on-chip (SoC) applications including WiFi, WiMax, wireless USB, and cellular. The RF process is derived directly from UMC's standard 65nm CMOS logic process, which was qualified in early 2006 and is currently in volume production for a variety of customer products. Full compatibility with UMC's standard CMOS logic/mixed-mode process enables easier integration of different SoC features such as mixed-mode, memory, analog and RF elements.
Lee Chung, vice president of Corporate Marketing at UMC, said, "UMC's 65nm RF process has been optimized to enable today's sophisticated wireless devices that demand increased functionality and lower power consumption in smaller packages. The SoC solution package offered with the 65nm RF technology makes it ideal for new designs, as well as customers wishing to migrate existing products to gain the dramatic performance advantages of the more advanced process."
Complete deliverables are available for UMC's 65nm RF solution, including fundamental libraries, IP, and the foundry industry's first transformer library to help customers jump-start their design-in process. Full characterization reports, models with mismatch Monte Carlo simulation, advance HF noise model and foundry design kits (FDK) complement the 65nm RF process, with RF SPICE models and ESD manuals and support ready.
UMC's extensive volume production experience for its standard 65nm logic process will enable the foundry to quickly ramp its customers' 65nm RF products once they reach the manufacturing stage. In June 2005, UMC was the first foundry to deliver 65nm customer products, and currently has 11 customers for this technology node with over 30 product tape-outs. Over 25 products have been functionally validated with 7 products already in volume production. Two advanced 300mm fabs have been dedicated to 65nm production.

LG LW980T Cinema 3D pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
With such as aggressive stance against the active shutter 3D system, it came as no surprise when LG's much-touted flagship flat screen TV was fitted with the brand's Cinema 3D tech.
The IFA announcement sees LG producing only plasma-flavoured active shutter 3DTVs, principally because the cost of tweaking them to work with Cinema 3D is too high.
We've spotted these LW980T Series Nano Full LED screens - in prototype, "coming soon" form - before, but in those days their future was cast as active shutter 3D TVs. Now firmly at the head of LG's new focus on the passive tech that forms the basis of Cinema 3D, this two-strong Series is fitted with Full LED Nano panels, which means a depth of just 27.5mm. The bezel on both is minute, too, at just 16.5mm.
Until now Cinema 3D tech has been sold on convenience and the tech's cheap glasses (the LW980T ships with a ridiculous seven pairs in the box), but this is the first time it's been marketed as a premium technology.
First impressions of the LW980T Series, which was on show in its 47-inch and 55-inch, were a mixed bag. The 55-inch displays visible vertical lines, especially on logos, that only reduce if you stand a fair way back. Colours are vivid, contrast and black detailing is excellent; there are 240 and 288 separate LED clusters in the 47-inch and 55-inch, respectively, meaning micro pixel control leading to more accurate local dimming than has so far been seen in the market.
Although we witnessed some very clean 3D shots on this 400Hz monster, with excellent and well-defined depth, there were exceptions. A sequence where a man empties a bag of basketballs in the viewer's general direction ends up with too many different elements, with the screen not helping us distinguish between them. Other 3D shots seemed soft, with some blur and double imaging.
Then comes the "blink" moment that's 3D in a nutshell; a pitcher aims straight between our eyes, and the LW980T performed well, though it's the 47-inch that proved our favourite overall - maybe smaller is better for Cinema 3D screens.
The viewing angle on both screens is good, thanks in part to their use of IPS (in-place switching) panels, while both have identical design; a rectangular stand with a glass column supporting the TV (and almost magnifying the cables behind - weird).
Boasting built-in Wi-Fi, the LW980T Series screens also manage 2D to 3D conversion, host LG's Smart TV hub, feature four HDMI inputs and two USB ports - but it was one off-piste feature that really got us excited.
It's called "dual play", and it's a stunningly good idea for split-screen games; it's possible to sit next to another gamer and both play the same (normally) split-screen game, on the same LW980T telly, but using 3D glasses to see only their own side of the screen. This split-screen-to-full screen conversion is done not by reinventing some new panel tech, but instead by having two pairs of glasses, and swapping their lenses around so one pair has two left eye lenses, and the other has two right-eye lenses. Easy - and brilliant. Dual screen glasses will be available in the near future, though it's probably easier just to make your own - both these TVs come with seven pairs of 3D glasses.
Without being able to see exactly where your opponent is hiding, you'll never cheat at Call of Duty again. Both LW980T Nano Full LED 3D TVs are available in the UK later this month for £1799 and £2499 respectively.

Since I talk to people in real life once in a while - about games, I mean - I get to hear things like this pretty often: "you know... I'm kind of losing interest. It's not fun to me any more. I think I'm going to sell my collection and do something else". "I'm gonna buy a DS.. you hear me, Jostein! A DS!!! I NEED HELP!!".
How could this happen? For different reasons, the most profiled games lately have been first person murder simulations with bad story-telling, single-player games where you achieve status as king by farting impressively in public, sequels to games that once were fairly successful. And not to forget - not that you could, thanks to the advertisement - tremendously overhyped action-games with no soul and recycled dialogue.
There's also the problem that good developers who actually make good games end up simply not selling, either discs or reputation - and are forced through the fire at games-magazines for not having online fans to generate hits on their front-pages. And therefore also remain on the publisher's short list for cutting when there's time for that.
And if they want to avoid this list, then that developer will change significantly, and start to create what the publisher believes is more popular games. Based, very often, on internet hits and buzz (this sounds crazy, but I can name a major developer who has had people crawl forums and "sum up" the opinion - which then is used as cheap focus-group feedback - no joke. This helped scuttle an entire product-line of very good phones, along with an "Apple Store" three years early).
In other words, when DICE has their concept for Mirror's Edge 2 rejected by EA - while they are ordered to spend all their resources on making Medal of Honor and yet another first person shooter, on top of yet another first person shooter set in a modern warfare setting.. then that's just business as usual. In fact, we may very well never see a Mirror's Edge sequel even if the developer would like to make one. And if we do, the game would very likely look and feel nothing like Mirror's Edge 1. So no sequel, in this case, will mean a good thing.
And yet - how many half-finished new IPs are we going to suffer through? Great concepts, that just didn't receive the polish required to be sold as a AAA title?
Bioware had a similar process. Dragon Age, like Mass Effect, was bad enough from a rpg-perspective - it had no real town-areas or history hubs. There were no real choices to make, very little role-playing. Lots and lots of action-effects, and not enough spell and ability interference. And when there were role-playing, it tended to be extremely black and white. In my Dragon Age review, I go through a couple of examples that explain pretty obviously that the game had more branching separate story-lines at some point, but that some of it was cut - or just not fleshed out in time for the release of the game. What happens here is evidently that individually, writers are pouring in content - but the directors and lead writers can't fit the writing into the main buffet, or structure it to let the content interfere with each other.
In the same way, Mass Effect 1 had tremendous writing - occasionally. While most of the time, it really is extremely trite. And the best writing - the Canderous/HK47 type of writing - is literally hidden on an ice-planet, or on a side-mission that isn't necessary to complete. The tendency continued in Mass Effect 2 - the main storyline is even worse. The narrative isn't very good, it's increasingly just tropes pulled in to make the game be associated with other sci-fi series - and that this is used exclusively as a means to make the segments move on.
No more do we have that extreme amount of random stuff that made Bioware's games enjoyable. Instead, we're getting the action-game with excessive amounts of talking. Talking that, obviously, is completely linear. And where the choices have absolutely no bearing on the events that follow - as well as break immersion by it's absolute woodenness. Dragon Age 2 embodies all of this, and stands out as the best example of a developer going under over publisher pressure yet.
It means that perhaps it's good that no sequels are made. As well as that new games that turn up tend to be really, really bad popcorn fluff that's marketed to the point where it feels insulting to even the most unashamed hit-list music-lover. And this sense of finality is what makes gaming lose it's appeal.
Of course, some of us always liked quirky entertainment that don't appeal to the "mass market". Some of us like nice things. We like Sandman (Neil Gaiman), Transmetropolitan (Warren Ellis wrote that - he was also the concept writer on Dead Space), Discworld, Kurozuka, Gintama. It's never going to be something a publisher will "believe" has mass market appeal. But it's nevertheless entertainment that without a doubt has quality as well as drives a profit. And even that it has literary value that isn't geared towards a specific and existing niche - it means the product may very well expand appeal in the future.
And it used to be that these types of entertainment products were fairly frequent in gaming. Now they're not any more.
So - here comes the point, dear reader - this will be a short list of upcoming titles that - in spite of all kinds of reasons such as new publishers, sequels, prequels and tie-ins - may end up being good games. And perhaps it will explain why I'm still playing games rather than do something else for entertainment - even as Nintendo launches Dogs in 3d, and the best selling applet on the Apple store is a game for squeezing virtual pimples.
1. Infamous 2. Sucker Punch made the Sly Cooper series - a strangely charming experience of the kind that fits for children of all ages. It's a game that isn't particularly difficult, but still is a challenge to complete. And the plot achieves the standard of a good animated series, as does the visuals. Meanwhile the story-telling has that raw quality that engages you rather than make you uncomfortable. Just like the Ratchet and Clank games, it has politically incorrect content that isn't boring - but at the same time it's not grating or alienating, or.. you know.. some cerebral journey or other.. So it's a series of games that you can easily play with your niece or your kid (or they can play it with you).
The next gen Sucker Punch ended up with a more adult version of a comic book serial. Though the "adult theming" is more in line with how modern comics have evolved. And it's still done with the care that makes the game still appropriate for children. In fact, inFamous is one of those games that have the "darker tone" that Batman managed to achieve back when the first animated series turned up (with Mark Hamill as The Joker). Meaning it's not actually more adult, even though it does feature more adult world themes.
There's a commentary on people's conduct in open-world games in inFamous - ever since GTA dropped making the swat-teams move in on you if you shot people down randomly, and blew up buses, etc - open world games have been sandbox games where you kill people indiscriminately. I know "allowing you to go ballistic" sounds cool to impressionable young mid 30 somethings who enjoy fucking hookers, then beating them to death with a pink dildo. But it's just bullshit. It drops the immersion that Vice City for example would give you. Or what was in the original GTA - where you know that if you run people over and blow shit up, then the police is going to turn up and arrest, or kill you. It makes sense - as well as increase the tension and emotion involved when actually pulling the trigger on a random pedestrian. It means something when you do something wrong.
Without the emotional suspense - then what's the point? You just shoot, and you feel nothing. No regret, no remorse.. [sidebar: those were good games :D Crusader - anyone remember those?].
And inFamous had that emotional suspense. Just as Sly Cooper. You don't have particularly many choices to make, but the ones you do make are meaningful, and stay with you as you run through the game-world outside the story-events and missions.
Infamous 2 (inFamouser? ..more inFamous?...) is perhaps going to follow this overall direction (although they will keep this hidden from their "fans" in the gaming media, who will happily write about "cool ice-powers").
2. Dungeon Siege III. Obsidian, after Troika (which is no more), is without a doubt my favourite developer. And it's also the most unfortunate developer in the business. Alpha Protocol was marred by publisher "concerns" about the game not having enough Mass Effect. NWN2 had publisher problems for not having appeal, and was not advertised for. It actually had a better and deeper toolset compared to Bioware's NWN, and improved upon it in thousands of different and important ways. The game itself also was great. The graphics were fantastic compared to NWN. Even the add-ons were unbelievably good. But it failed to sell, since "the business" had basically moved away to consoles and more streamlined titles. The PC it required at the time was expensive. Toolset builders - which were extremely active with the original NWN - had moved on. And the "hadcore rpg-er giant" Bioware was no longer - so suddenly no one else should make good games either. Now it was only streamlined console-titles.
KOTOR 2 was even worse - it was a tremendously good and deep game. But was destroyed by the early Christmas release (thanks a lot, LucasArts), and came with so many console shortcuts and design problems that the game almost became unplayable. With Team Gizka's patching/restoration, it did become a good game.
But it was too late, and 1up and Gamespot had already declared, forever, that Obsidian would always make games with too many bugs in them. (... then they would go ahead and ignore bugs in Fallout3, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, Modern Warfare, Black Ops, etc). It's one of those things, I guess. Where reviewers who treat their job as just a job feel they are excused when creating their opinion out of chat-threads on Neogaf. "Fans say it, so therefore it can't be wrong!".
If we go further back, Troika's Bloodlines was a similar affair - a very good game with an extremely compelling story, and unbelievably high level of writing. Not just as set pieces, but integrated into the game. If you compare this to "story telling genius" like what you see in Half Life 2, you can't hold back the scoffing even if you try. It's just not comparable - Bloodlines has writing that brings the game in line with other good entertainment, and should be rewarded for that. Of course - no such thing happened. And Troika ended as a developer. No publisher could defend hiring them.
Obsidian has now ended up with Square Enix as a publisher for their latest game, Dungeon Siege III. That license is - apart from being one of those early failed "action-rpg" attempts, from back when turn-based was raving genius - not a real presence. In truth there's absolutely no expectations for a sequel. And while I'm sure gaming media folks are going to dredge up their expertise in Dungeon Siege, along with proclaiming how there's some inherent flaw with Obsidian's approach here - it's all going to be complete bullshit. Because this is a standalone title, and it's made on a new ruleset, along with a new in-house built engine (which is a first for Obsidian). The writing as well, while set in a known universe, has no ties to anything, and it will be interesting to see what Obsidian can do with this.
The graphics - while casting certain shadows from earlier titles such as Icewind Dale in terms of overlay effects coupled with game-world animation - also seems interesting.
Obviously, the game will be compared to Dragon Age 2 - and I think it's safe to say that it will win out. If it's depth, role playing aspects, ease of control, or gameplay complexity. Which isn't saying much, compared to DA2's "hit X for anything, except when traversing infinitely cumbersome menus that never will give you the options you want". But I think it's time now that Obsidian stops being on the game-magazines' shit-list.
3. The Last Guardian. Ok, so I admit it. I've never played ICO. I've played parts of Shadow of The Colossus. Basically, it was a game that I couldn't finish. I knew that what I was doing.. destroying the Colossi.. was wrong. And I couldn't do it. I couldn't continue. I knew that if I managed to revive my girlfriend, it would be wrong. I decided this even as I felt the resolve of the main character. This game made me boil on the inside when I played it. I almost despaired and cried. When I show this game to someone else, I dread what's going to happen. Either because they will go "hur-hur, kill beast, stupid horse run faster". Or because they too will be struck with a tremendous sense of guilt, and we will go and kill ourselves or something. This isn't a good "game". But it is a digital experience that no other medium can hope to accomplish.
The Last Guardian will be Team ICO and Ueda's third game. And it will very likely be a game that happens once. Nothing like it is ever going to be made again. Technologically and in terms of narrative, it's going to be unique. The question is how obvious this will be made to "everyone", and to what degree it's going to be possible to ignore the "game-like" features such as edge-detection, ledges to climb on, health-bars, etc. And if it's going to be possible to simply play it, and experience what's going on, without making an effort.
Ueda apparently had made a "special" presentation for the gaming press at GDC where they had put a grating coloured overlay on top of your toon that said "health bar". Obviously - just a complete demonstration of how stupid it would be. Which then everyone apparently was embarassed enough about to not write about. Wimps.
The truth is that Team ICO knows what they're doing. And they're not going to take cues from an internet forum when deciding on last minute additions - if any.
4. Deus Ex Ultimate Nanite super-sequel-prequel thing. So, for some reason the original Deus Ex (Deus Ex Machina - God (made) out of (a) Machine) has gained notoriety in even the normal gaming press. It's in spite of using the Unreal Engine at the time (over Id's Quake engine, which was sexier and .. stuff.. at least back then. Now, Epic is made of Win, apparently, so now Deus Ex is AWESOME!). Of course - what made it a good game was that it had branching story-lines and narrative that provided fantastic context - and then let you continue the story as you progressed yourself. In other words, you made your own story. Valve could certainly learn from this.
But.. anyway.. so we have had a couple of good first-person action-rpg games like this. The severely underrated "Dark Messiah", Deus Ex, System Shock 2, and.. Deus Ex. Let's not mention abominations coming from Bethesda. Where you can, if you're lucky, manage to find a good game underneath the tons of murdered random enemies. And abortions such as Fallout 3 - the successful action-rpg/adventure games that rest on immersion and framing story-telling like these are few and far between. (Attempts to tell me differently will fall on deaf ears).
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is Eidos' - now Square Enix - attempt at reinventing this genre a little bit. Anything Eidos is of course always going to have an interesting plus for me because of Soul Reaver and Commandos. But a prequel to Deus Ex - where all the tech involved is the old and clunky prothesis and implant stick. And where we begin to discover the beginning of the use of nanotech to enhance human beings - for good or bad.
It may very well end up being a good cover-based shooter with good interplay between abilities and skills. And on top of that, it will look good as well. It's a license rob, and so on - but like said.. it explores a part of that game that actually was interesting, and a part of the universe that you will think many thoughts about when playing the game. The concept clearly comes from another gamer, is what I'm saying here. Not a hired in Hollywood writer, handily assisted by a producer indulging himself with company money (hi, Guerrilla Games).
5. Socom: Special Olympics. If you read my earlier blogs, you can see the reason why none of the games on this list feature online multiplayer (though Dungeon Siege 3 may have online multiplayer co-op - it's unknown as of yet if it will be or has been implmented, or in what form.. curious, since the game comes out in May). SOCOM 4 nevertheless looks interesting. For four reasons:
-Co-op and random map-generation. Online co-op on randomly generated maps. Now that's genius. I mean, really, where did random level-generation disappear to after Diablo I&II? The code for slotting environments together over various path-finding tresholds is the kind of code you would write to test the maps for consistency anyway - why not make a map with it, and make the game look good (and framerate smooth) by mechanically forcing geometric density at the right angles? With the kind of horsepower the ps3 has (as well as the limited ram) this is a brilliant fit.
-Move-support. So.. I want to throw a grenade by chucking my sub-controller over the shoulder. Ok, look.. shut up. Your mother.
-It has private games, and possibility for setting up competitive clan-games. It's unknown as of yet what sort of clan and matching functions the game will have at launch. And whether Zipper is going to just skewer themselves on the "casual gamer" misnomer. But it's going to have private and custom protected games. Also with the "one life" modes known from the SOCOM games - that of course helped make that game tactical and slow.
-People on the official playstation boards hate it already. This is a great sign. It means the game is tactical, requires thought, and actively punish you for running back and forth while spraying your gun. With the move very likely being the primary way to play the game, and the cover and command-system being prominent in both single and multiplayer - this game will very likely be that sleeper hit that -- yes, I'll even go this far, Zipper -- will one day ascend from the bargain bin to a cult hit. :p
Seriously, though - it looks polished, has a story-line, and solid game-mechanics. It doesn't even seem like it's Zipper that made it. I mean, like... wow, and exclamations and stuff. I still hate you, Zipper, after you crippled MAG. But what the hell - this looks good.
6. Dark Souls. Demon's Souls was - at least to Sony and their favourite gaming blogs - an unexpected hit. From Software, however, succeeded with this game for reasons having to do with "emergent gameplay and story-telling". Such as that you really do role-play your character, and experience something unique to you when walk through the levels. They also integrated well-known gameplay mechanics into the game-world, rather than just add them as mechanical necessities. From also made the most gloriously awesome hand-made animation I have ever seen. The flesh-eating dragon, the Tower Knight, the legs of your character, the Fool's Idol, etc - From Software has a seriously talented team of animation artists on their payroll, and we are no doubt going to see more of this in the second "Souls" game.
Of course - it's not a sequel, and the designers want that to be clear. But no, you're not going to escape that the first game was pure genius, even with it's weaknesses. The second game is also said to improve on particular aspects of magic use, item use, etc. It will give you more opportunities to customize and personalise your equipment. There will be "progression" through the levels with movable camp-fires (spawn-points).
But most of all, the integration between narrative and gameplay will be kept as a focus.
On top of this, the multiplayer experience - the completely unique experience that no one really wrote anything about. The "echoes" of other souls also led through the mist into Boletaria. Some of which may be invited - or simply intrude in your own realm, more or less forcefully. This will also be kept, though in a different form.
I'm looking forward to it, as they say.
Anyway - thanks for reading. Add me as a friend if you'd like, to easier follow the blog-updates, etc. Will talk more later.

Detroit And The Rule Of Empathy 0 commentsJul 26, 2013 3:24 PM
Investors and borrowers were rankled that Thursday's bankruptcy filing was expected to hit bondholders of some of the city's general-obligation debt following a proposal by Detroit's emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, to rank these bonds alongside other unsecured debt. Some investors expressed surprise that the city could slash the general-obligation bonds' value, as they are backed by Detroit tax revenue and payments are guaranteed by the Michigan Constitution. "I understand the strategy of trying to break out from the [unsecured creditor] herd and say, 'I'm different,' " Mr. Orr said. "But, from our perspective, unsecured creditors share in the unsecured creditor pool." Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder also said that these bondholders should have recognized the risks they were taking when they bought the bonds. "These are sophisticated buyers….This is not your couple living out in the Midwest going through the mortgage crisis," he said.
--WSJ, July 26, 2013
Michigan governor Rick Snyder believes that Detroit's bondholders should have recognized the risk that, in banana republics, contractual obligations are unenforceable. He also believes that sophisticated investors should be subordinated because, well, because they're sophisticated, and probably rich as well. If Mom and Dad owned the bonds, that would be different because Mom and Dad didn't know that they were living in a banana republic when they bought the bonds. And Mom and dad aren't rich.
Of course, Michiganders already know how worthless bond indentures can be: they are not enforceable if the company in question employs a lot of Democratic autoworkers. Employees come before bondholders, everyone knows that. We've already seen this movie in California, where the public sector unions have trumped GO bondholders in Stockton and elsewhere. Pensions are sacred, while bond indentures are so yesterday. And anyway, bondholders are rich.
You may recall that the incumbent president once said that, in choosing a Supreme Court justice, he wanted a judge with empathy. Not a commitment to the rule of law, but empathy. An empathetic judge will always rule on behalf of the weaker party, irrespective of the facts in the case. An empathetic judge will put his finger on the scales of justice in favor of the poor, the sick and the elderly. In other words, an empathetic judge is not blind like the famous statue, but rather has big open eyes and stares empathetically at the plaintiff or the defendant or the pensioner.
There is nothing inherently wrong with replacing the Rule of Law with the Rule of Empathy. France did that a long time ago, and they're still chugging along. But it does require that, going forward, bond investors must appreciate that they have no contractual rights, and that they shouldn't waste their time reading the covenants. In America today, a GO bond is just as good as a Czarist war bond.Back To Christopher Mahoney's Instablog HomePage »

Tell us when you get your slow boat to China rigged up to gather helium. Maybe you and SOB can then build a helium balloon to go to the moon for his next project, Helium-3.
On this new one:
" Maybe you and SOB can then build a helium balloon to go to the moon for his next project, Helium-3."
What is your problem?
....I said nothing about the moon yet you keep repeating yourself and including me in something that I never said.
If you have some difficulty remembering what is said, just re-read the thread.
Are we to be impressed that you can read wikipedia to find out that the moon has some Helium 3 on it?
It can be made without much difficulty right here on this planet so why do you keep talking about the moon?
....you made that one up all on your own, since I did not suggest it or even mention it.
Maybe norris should start a list of things you just make up.
Do you still think youcan get hydrogen " from the air so you do not have to mine it" ....or did you check wikipedia for that yet?
Yes you were just as wrong about the value of the helium.
Simple math 2% * 24 times more valuable than dry ngas = about 50% of revenues.
But you will just keep on with the indolent petty existence.
The amazing thing is from Obama all the way down to the basement with lazy say anything Beckel it is all the same nonsense. The reality is it hurts America and therefore Americans suffer as result.
Hey but Progressive won the election with the insanity. That is all that matters.

With the exclusive launch of the KitchenAid Mini Stand Mixer at John Lewis in September I was asked if I would review this new mini version for readers of the blog. As always I'm happy to try out new baking kit and see what works and what doesn't. But not only do I have the review for you I also have a KitchenAid Mini in Hot Sauce to giveaway to one of you lovely bakers too!
In a nutshell, the Mini is 20% smaller and 25% lighter with the same design as it's big brother and has an RRP of £399. The Mini fits the regular KitchenAid attachments – spiralizer, food grinder etc, in the same manner as it's larger counterpart. It's equipped with the same powerful motor too so there's no compromise on function.
The bowl has a 3.3litre capacity – 8 egg whites, 2kg of mashed potatoes or a 1.6kg cake mix (that's roughly the size of a 10" cake).
And of course it comes with a full 5 year warranty.
The model I'm reviewing is in the Honeydew colourway but it's available in other options – Matte Black, Matte Grey and Hot Sauce too.

Campus Housing:
Newton is far from main campus, dorms are small
Campus Housing:
The only downside of the Boston College campus housing is that freshmen dorms are far from the main campus area.
Campus Housing:
Housing assignment process isn't the best
Campus Housing:
The dormitories for freshman are pretty standard, not very spacious, but well kept by maintenance staff. The upperclassmen dorms are seeing lots of updates and improvements
Campus Housing:
The dorms are usually spacious! Freshman year is always traditional housing and is the only grade where some do not live on main campus. The housing process is terrible and stressful.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
The living arrangements at Boston College are very comfortable, mostly modern, and very well-kept. The main downside to BC's housing is the fact that the freshman dorms have communal bathrooms. If you're one of those people who absolutely cannot shower with others while wearing flip-flops, then you might want to pick another school with newer dorms that offer private bathrooms. Having said that, you would be trading some truly unique architecture. BC's dorms offer less privacy because most of the buildings are old, but the flip side to that is that the buildings are much more attractive and roomy than your average college dormitory. Also, gross as it may sound to have to share a bathroom with an entire floor, it is a good way to start making friends right off the bat.
The freshman dorms on Upper are the most desirable. They received a stellar remodeling job, so they're totally current and accommodating. Newton is still at the lower end of the totem pole because it's quite far from main campus, so try to avoid that if you can. Sophomores will want to live in 90 or Vanderslice, since they are newer and nicer, but some of the best sophomore shindigs can be found late at night in Walsh Hall. Juniors typically live off campus or abroad. Seniors will want to live in the Mods (modular apartments) because they are the coolest thing going on campus, complete with their own individual backyards. Also, no senior should shy away from Voute or Gabelli, as they are gorgeous apartments and townhouses. Edmond's only drawback is its quirky elevator, so try to live on the first floor if you can. Overall, BC maintains clean, safe, and enjoyable living quarters.
