Updated, 9:40 a.m.
Good morning on this murky Monday.
A severe coastal storm is bearing down on our city.
The nor'easter is threatening two days of wet weather, potential flooding, icy temperatures that may feel like the low 20s, and strong winds that could damage trees and pull down power lines.
Here in the city, we're expecting the worst to arrive later today and into the evening. A high-wind warning is in effect until Tuesday, and with up to four inches of rain possible over the next couple of days, a flood watch and coastal flood advisory will take effect this afternoon.
(Hair forecast: lots-o'-knots.)
The nor'easter we're experiencing is essentially the same storm that has triggered tornadoes in the southeastern United States, killing more than a dozen people, said Tim Morrin, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service.
"It's a very dynamic, very large storm, and when all is said and done, it's going to be impacting multiple states, millions of people and will have lots of types of severe weather," he told us.
A few things to keep in mind today:
Prepare to wade through water. Pools of water and flooding from slow drainage could become an issue in the city, Mr. Morrin said.
Watch for flying debris or objects. With wind gusting up to 60 miles per hour, anything that is light and not tied down — like garbage cans — could become projectiles, Mr. Morrin said. Tie down outdoor items or bring them inside.
Stay indoors, if you can. The safest place to be is indoors. Since wind gusts are stronger at higher elevations, if you do find yourself on a bridge or overpass, exercise caution, Mr. Morrin said.
Leave home earlier. The morning commute could get messy, so please be careful out there and allow yourself extra travel time.
The nor'easter, which is expected to linger here into Tuesday, comes on the anniversary of last year's blizzard, the biggest snowstorm in the city's history.
We'll be keeping you up to date on the storm throughout the morning.

And Finally...
If your block competed with the city's other streets in a beauty pageant, how would it do?
Take a look.
Every year and a half, the Department of Transportation judges each block and rates it on a scale of one to 10 — with an eye toward potholes, cracking, wear and general distress.
Here are the results.
The neighborhoods with the best street ratings? Fort Greene, followed by Starrett City and Williamsburg, all in Brooklyn.
The worst? Kew Gardens in Queens, Parkchester in the Bronx and Seagate-Coney Island in Brooklyn. The Manhattan neighborhood with the worst-rated streets is Carnegie Hill.
As a borough, Brooklyn's streets are in the best condition. Three-fourths are rated in good condition, followed by Queens (71 percent), the Bronx (68.5 percent), Manhattan (66.3 percent) and Staten Island (59.6), according to the report.
Over all, about 70 percent of the city's streets were rated as being in good condition, about 30 percent as fair and less than 1 percent as poor.
You can check out your street's rating on this map from the Department of Transportation.

Time: Was Jesus' Resurrection a Sequel?
"A 3-ft.-high tablet romantically dubbed "Gabriel's Revelation" could challenge the uniqueness of the idea of the Christian Resurrection. The tablet appears to date authentically to the years just before the birth of Jesus and yet — at least according to one Israeli scholar — it announces the raising of a messiah after three days in the grave. If true, this could mean that Jesus' followers had access to a well-established paradigm when they decreed that Christ himself rose on the third day"

I have a condition called Eagle's Syndrome (calcifying of the ligaments in my neck) and once in a while it flares up.
When it does I have 2 days of really bad pain and on these 2 days I take strong medications to take the edge of the pain. These meds don't let me concentrate and make me jittery so today and tomorrow there's no way I can write posts.
For the rest of the week I can handle the pain with Advil or some other normal pain reliever.
See you all on Wednesday.

Elon Musk is a man I hate to applaud. He is a politically savvy businessman that understands how to exploit the crony-capitalist mentality of state legislators, federal regulators, and well connected corporate giants. Musk tends to exploit our American style of government-sanctioned corporatism with an uncanny (and often offensive) penchant. And yet… I (a liberty-loving advocate of small government) just can't quite bring myself to stop writing flattering things about some of his recent endeavors.
He is representative of everything that is wrong with today's corporate relationship with big government. Tax favors, political engineering, and even subsidies have helped him to amass a fortune… It's not exactly the "rags to riches" story we remember hearing about when we were kids, but it's nonetheless pretty darn effective. Of course, I'm not in awe of how he made his millions… Cozying up to politicians for special tax breaks, subsidies and legislative favors is nothing to admire.
Despite my personal qualms with the crony-capitalist methods of today's most ingenious industrialist, I still find myself rooting for him more often than not. After all, his civilian run space program is a far more "American" alternative to sending our astronauts to space than hitching a ride with Putin's cosmonauts. Wasn't it big government favoritism that was monopolizing the industry of space exploration? I might have issues with Elon Musk, but I'd rather see an American company building the rockets to send satellites and astronauts to space, than send another truckload of money to Vladimir Putin.
And let's not overlook the business model Musk adopted for selling Tesla electric vehicles: Bucking the traditional (and often government-mandated) model of setting up dealerships, Musk wanted consumers to be able to purchase Teslas directly from the manufacturer. And while many states continue to bar such benign transactions, Musk has moved forward in fighting for the empowerment of consumers. Automobile Dealership Associations across the nation are lobbying to prohibit direct sales of Tesla electric vehicles – as if it's government's role to mandate the existence of outdated dealership business models.
Heck, even the idea of Musk's electric vehicle isn't necessarily antithetical to my general disposition on "green energy". After all, this isn't some subsidized Chevy Volt that pretends to be the affordable answer to conventional locomotion… It's a luxury conversation piece for rich environmentalists in Washington and Hollywood. In short: It's exactly what it claims to be. (An overpriced, limited application, feel-good toy for people who can drop a hundred grand on making a social statement.) I don't begrudge rich liberals for having money; and I certainly don't begrudge them for spending it on an American product.
But… Musk is not exactly helping the government see the errors of their favoritism, big-government, crony-capitalist tendencies. Actually, he's probably exacerbating the problem. The Pay-Pal founder has, apparently, come to the conclusion that rubbing shoulders with politicos is the way to make millions in today's America.
He's building a new battery factory in Nevada. Why Nevada? Well, because he received roughly $1.3 billion in tax incentives. He received similar deals from authorities in Texas for his space center; and he's still lobbying California for the rights to a public transit project. Even his attempt to bring an end to the monopoly of automobile dealerships has been executed with the tactic of getting legislators to extend him special (limited) exemptions to state laws. Apparently Musk has discovered the unfortunate truth in today's America: Crony Capitalism is best usurped with a little more cronyism.
And really, he might be right. It's pretty well illustrated throughout history that big government leads to big corruption. Unfortunately, it might be a better bet in today's political environment to make a few high-ranking friends, than degrade the influence of local, state, and federal regulators.
Don't get me wrong… I'm not throwing in the towel on small government. In fact, Musk's full embrace of political favoritism disgusts me. Common sense would indicate that limited government tends to neuter any corporation's ability to curry favor with legislators, bureaucrats, and governors. A government restricted in power would (generally) be impotent in the crusade to stifle competition or grant favors. The bigger the government, the more complex the tax code, the more extensive the regulations, the greater leniency we tend to give our "leaders" to pick the winners and losers in the economy.
In a way, Elon Musk epitomizes everything that is wrong with how corporate America and big government have developed an unholy alliance… And yet, he is not – despite the tendency to say otherwise – the problem with today's corporate culture. Instead, he is a symptom of today's government-centric Americanism. When making millions depends on knowing the right folks in marble buildings, control of the system has probably started to slip from "we the people".
I don't hate Elon Musk. (Heck, I almost applaud the ambitious cronyist on occasion.) No… I hate that his style of favoritism actually yields results in today's America. Musk is not a hero. But he's probably not the villain either.
Musk is merely a successful businessman. And, unfortunately, that seems to require special permission from the government nowadays.

Black/Tan/Merle Hound Mix
Age: 3 years 6 months
House Trained: Yes
Good with Kids: No
Good with Cats: Unsure
Good with Dogs: Yes
Evangeline (nickname Evie) is a 3 year old, 47 lb hound mix. Evie is a delightful, devoted, sensitive girl. She spent the first part of her life in a hoarding situation and didn't know what it was to have a person of her own, so now that she is part of a family, she is so happy and thankful! Evie is super smart, playful, and athletic. She loves to play chase and keep-away with the other dogs out in the yard, and can leap over a 4' gate. But her favorite thing is to come inside and snuggle with her person. She is a one-person dog and would not do well in a household where new people visit a lot since that is scary for her. She thrives on routine and lots of positive reinforcement and will be a wonderful companion for some lucky person. See a video of Evangeline here: https://youtu.be/0FKBcxkA-5o

By Louise Brophy
Mark Hughes can remember little about being at Hillsborough. The day was unusual because it was only the second time he had stood at a match, having sat in the safety of the stands watching Liverpool "hundreds of times" before.
He recalls joking with friends in the Leppings Lane end before the game, then being stuck in the crush that claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool fans. His last memory of the day is being pushed against an iron bar and his glasses being snapped.
Now, almost 20 years to the day of that terrible tragedy, Mark has been back to watch a live game for the first time... and he can't wait to go again.
Mark suffered major injuries to his brain and he was blind for four months after Hillsborough. He was in hospitals for several months and received visits from the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as Margaret Thatcher. The day that the Prime Minister arrived at his bedside was a surreal experience. Mark recalled: "She said: 'Is there anything I can do for you?' and I thought it was someone joking or I was dreaming, so I said: 'Give the people of Liverpool more jobs!'… and then they cut me off the camera! Prince Charles and Princess Diana, they sat at my bed and talked to my two friends and my mum. Apparently, she was very nice but I can't remember that."
His wife Lynne is now his full-time carer, as his injuries have left him unable to live a normal life. Two decades ago, he worked in Sayers, having finished his education, and loved nothing more than going to watch Liverpool. His last game was that infamous FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough, but the 42-year-old decided to return to Anfield, mainly as a wedding anniversary treat for Lynne, who is as passionate for the game as he is.
The match he eventually got tickets for was Liverpool's 4-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, just four days short of the 20th anniversary of Hillsborough. "It was the best remedy," said Mark, at their West Derby home. "It gave me something to look forward to because I stay in bed all week until Saturday nights. I told my doctor it was the best feeling I've felt. I've got the bug and I really want to go again now. Honestly, if I could get the tickets I would go all the time… I wish I'd have gone back sooner.
"It was amazing… just like it used to be. Although things have changed through the years, it felt the same. The crowds didn't bother me and I enjoyed the whole experience. We even went to a crowded pub afterwards." His delighted wife Lynne said: "It was like the old Mark was back. He was different to what he is like when we are watching football at home or in the pub, it was like he used to be back then."
Before the match, there was a two minutes' silence to respect the 96 fans who died at Hillsborough, but Mark revealed: "I didn't feel emotional. I don't mean to sound horrible by saying that, it's because of my injury. I just don't feel emotion towards it. Obviously I feel upset for the other people but where everyone says it's a dead emotional day, I was just thinking of my mum and what she went through with me. It made me think about my old house, but I can't remember anything from Hillsborough because of my injuries."
Mark is always putting the needs of others before his and he is an inspiration to those who meet him. He was even worried that going back to see Liverpool would upset the team's good form, although the four-goal victory was a real bonus. He said: "I didn't want to be a jinx because it was my first match back, but that was the icing on the cake. And I went out in the evening to the theatre. It was just a perfect day."

A recent High Court challenge by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to sever the commercial lease for its offices was won by its landlord the Canary Wharf Group. The EMA complained that its lease signed in 2014 for 25 years had been frustrated by Brexit which it contended was an unforeseen event. The value of the lease is £500m and the EMA intended to move to Amsterdam.Share This:-

Statutory demands are usually issued as a strong arm tactic to obtain funds from someone as the fear of an impending bankruptcy petition usually works. The courts do not encourage their use as a means of enforcing a judgement. Today the debt has to be in excess of £5000 for a petition to be issued. The demand can be made on any of the available forms as this will not effect its validity. After the demands service, by a process server, 21 days have to be allowed to give the debtor time to either pay or negotiate a settlement to the satisfaction of the creditor. A petition for bankruptcy has to be served within 4 months of service of the demand. The debtor can if good reason exists apply to the court to set aside the demand within 18 days of it service. However if the sum demanded is that which has been ordered by a court to be payed to the creditor and the debtor has applied for permission to appeal in good time or an appeal is underway then:-
Rule 10.24(2) of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 provides:-
'If the petition is brought in respect of a judgment debt, or a sum ordered by any court to be paid, the court may stay or dismiss the petition on the ground that an appeal is pending from the judgment or order, or that execution of the judgment has been stayed.'
This is an important defence and may be sufficient to deter even the most litigiously well resourced creditor. However it should be noted that the mere issuance of a bankruptcy petition by the court has the effect of a notification being sent by the court to the Chief Land Registrar who will make entries to the effect on any Land Registry entries that the alleged debtor may have (i.e. property ownership) which will also effect any charges e.g. by mortgagors that are registered. Therefore a bankruptcy does not have to be granted, when full restrictions will be notified to the Chief Land Registrar, for entries to be made to the register that may subsequently need to be removed.

What is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a service?
A common consumer complaint has statutory constraints that it would seem timely to remind you of.
If a contract between a consumer and a supplier was entered into before the 1st October 2015 the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 applies. In particular section 14 provides:-
Section 14 Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982
14 Implied term about time for performance.
(1) Where, under a relevant contract for the supply of a service by a supplier acting in the course of a business, the time for the service to be carried out is not fixed by the contract, left to be fixed in a manner agreed by the contract or determined by the course of dealing between the parties, there is an implied term that the supplier will carry out the service within a reasonable time.
(2) What is a reasonable time is a question of fact.
If your contract was entered into on or after the 1st October 2015 then the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies. In particular section 52 provides:-
Section 52 Consumer Rights Act 2015
52 Service to be performed within a reasonable time
(1) This section applies to a contract to supply a service, if—
(a) the contract does not expressly fix the time for the service to be performed, and does not say how it is to be fixed, and
(b) information that is to be treated under section 50 as included in the contract does not fix the time either.
(2) In that case the contract is to be treated as including a term that the trader must perform the service within a reasonable time.
(3) What is a reasonable time is a question of fact.
Therefore the consumer has a right to redress in the form of damages in respect of the delay in the performance of a service by a contractor.
The seminal case or authority from which these statutes are derived is Charnock -v- Liverpool Corporation and Kirbys (Commercial) Ltd: 1968 CA. In this case a damaged car went into the garage for repair and it took 8 weeks to complete. The plaintiff sued for the delay and the Court found that it would have taken a competent contractor no longer than 5 weeks. The plaintiff was awarded damages in respect of hiring a replacement car for 3 weeks.
This case also clarifies that:-
i) It is the consumer, here the car owner, to whom the garage owes a duty of care in respect of the service offered rather than the paying insurance company.
ii) That it is incumbent on the contractor, in this case the garage, to inform the consumer immediately about any reasons why their order may be delayed so that they are free to take their business elsewhere. For example, an agreement that exists with a preferred supplier to carry out an order within a specified time period. It is common for contractors seeking to retain the client's business not to inform the client of any such factors early on. However in such cases the untimely contractor is now caught by the Acts.

"I've Been Disinherited By My Parents Will" is a common cry for help we at the Solicitors Information Service have been hearing recently.
People unable to get onto the property latter and an ageing population with rising levels of dementia are the key factors boosting a rise in disputes over wills. The recent Supreme Court case Ilott v The Blue Cross and others has confirmed that a will should be left intact unless exceptional circumstances prevail e.g. as provided in the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
Legal commentators have predicted a massive surge in court cases as people try and test out whether they have a valid claim.Share This:-
Prosecutions for commercial fraud are expected to rise this year due to a stronger commitment to bring proceedings under the Bribery Act 2010. It will be interesting to see how the offence of failing to prevent bribery is handled by both the prosecuting authorities such as the Serious Fraud Office and defendants alike.
The Criminal Finances Act currently forging its passage through Parliament, as a Bill, should bring some tantalising developments.

Ivan Von Shellshockstonberg, better known as Shellshock, is a villain from the video game Ratchet: Deadlocked.
Shellshock once fought in the Obani moon wars. Near the end of the war, his internal brain was destroyed by a missile and replaced by AI chip from a coffe machine, wich made him imprevious to pain, but not damage (and it gave him the ability to make great cappuccinos). Much later, he joined the illegal gladiator show known as DreadZone, where he became a high ranking gladiator and a member of The Exterminators, an elite fighting team. Before the protagonist, Ratchet's, unvoulentary arrival, Shellshock had taken control over planet Kronos and made a base of operations in a large cathedral. Later, when Ratchet arrived, Shellshock had killed a gladiator known as Plutonium Jones (with a 360 degrees Tomahawk finishing move) and much later, a pair of gladiators known as, the Omega Twins. Shellshock announced that the Twins screamed like teenage girls (which is ironic, as the Omega Twins WERE teenage girls). Later, he fought Ratchet outside his cathedral several times, retreating at the end of each battle. Eventually, Shellshock was cornered inside his cathedral and fought Ratchet in one final battle. At the end of the battle, Shellshock was presumably killed by Ratchet.
As with many Ratchet & Clank characters, Shellshock has large arsenal of weapons. The arsenal consists of; his powerful blaster, missile launcher built into his chest, shoulder mounted cannons that fire homing mines, his mentioned, but unseen, 360 degrees Tomahawk Finishing move and of course, brute strength.
- Strangely, Shellshock didn't use neither his brute strength, nor his 360 degrees Tomahawk Finishing move against Ratchet.
- It is unknown if he joined DreadZone voulentary or not.
- Shellshock was named "The Sexiest Robot Alive" by Vox Magazine.
- He speaks with an Austrian-German accent.

All The World's Indeed A Stage
"All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage"
– Limelight, Rush
In my last post – Walking Between the Raindrops – I talked about the growing basic human need to remove ourselves at times from social media's public stage; and our search for new platforms that will offer us a means to express ourselves freely and without regret.
We've seen recently however, that our partial escape from the theater of Facebook and Twitter to what we hoped was a new digital oasis in the form of apps like Snapchat and Secret has indeed turned out to be a mirage. Huge and glimmering, they and others like them have failed to keep us, or our moments private and safe.
This doesn't mean that the concept of ephemerality and protected content is unworkable, but rather we haven't yet seen its true embodiment. At least not yet…
As consumers, we increasingly need a platform that provides us the following:
Security – Enabling technology that will allow us to secure our content/identity/words (i.e. "Stuff") on device or in the cloud so others cannot access it without our tacit approval;
Privacy – The ability to determine who can access our Stuff, when they can access it and how they can access it;
Non-permanency – Being able to set time limits on how long our Stuff will exist on a given platform, and how long it can be viewed by others before it fully expires and is truly deleted without a trace. Or even a delete on demand capability – the social media equivalent of the morning after pill;
Social-casting – A socially connected experience that allows us to share Stuff socially but with the same security, privacy and time-limited functionality that exists on the core platform. Simply put, the ability to remove "regret" from the social sharing equation. We can't live solely in a walled garden right??
Fun – Yes Fun!! We want an app that is flexible, with an easy to use interface that offers us a whimsical way to communicate and share our Stuff with one or many of our friends. Otherwise, why the hell would we even use it?
But why do we want these things?
Because we are learning. Learning that we simply want to be ourselves sometimes. Learning that we want to be free to express who we are, what we like (or don't like), how we feel, how we look and how we live. Learning that we want to express this openly, perhaps intimately to a select few or a large group, while at the same time being able to exercise control over this self-expression. Remember, it is ours after all.
Does this make us anti-social prudes, unable to deal with the demands of our social selves?
It just makes us human…

Nate Diaz is getting sued for over $1m (£0.79m) by the Ballengee Group over claims of theft, breach of contract and fraud among other charges.
According to TMZ, the management firm filed a lawsuit against the popular UFC star and former client on Tuesday (20 June) in Dallas County (Texas) District Court.
Having represented Diaz since 2014, Ballengee negotiated his agreements for various big fights including former lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos, Michael Johnson and the first Conor McGregor bout at UFC 196.
However, right after sealing the deal for his rematch with the Irishman at UFC 202, Ballengee claims the Stockton native "unexpectedly" fired them one month before the event in July 2016, and never compensated them with their cut for striking a deal.
UFC 202 was of course, the most successful UFC pay-per-view of all time with 1,650,000 buys with Diaz bagging a $2m (£1.58m) purse from the contest, not including the additional income he would have received from pay-per-view cuts and his fight of the night bonus.
Ballengee attorney Jason H. Friedman claims the management firm is now demanding over $1m in damages before adding: "My clients performed their job, what Nate Diaz asked them to do. They are due for that," he told MMAFighting.
UFC women's bantamweight fighter Leslie Smith is also listed as a defendant in the lawsuit as it is claimed that Diaz convinced her to terminate her agreement with Ballengee to avoid paying them what they were owed.
"They conspired to get Leslie Smith to also fire Ballengee and to not pay Ballengee," Friedman explained. "Awad [attorney], as the mastermind of the conspiracy, he and Nate left, then talked Smith into doing the same thing."
"You've got two fighters who my client successfully negotiated bouts for. I think Diaz's fight was one of the most profitable fights of all time, from what I've been told. To do something like that to the guy who brought you to the show, that's not right."

And May I Introduce To You ?
Maybe I've been looking the wrong way but the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of "In His Own Write" seems to have passed by without much comment.
So here in the trivia quiz I've decided to make amends by concentrating somewhat on this book which contributed in no little way to Lennon being considered as the thinking man's Beatle.
For another point therefore :
Who wrote the introduction to this book and what glaring historical mistake did he make?
I don't know.
McCartney wrote the introduction. As for the historical mistake, would it be that he identified themselves as being 12? When in fact 16 or 17?
This is obviously nonsense. They weren't the same age to begin with and were in fact 15 and 17 at the time.
Paul couldn't possibly have made this mistake unknowingly so ...never believe a Beatle without checking first!

Excerpts and commentary based on the 6/4 post-Metal on Metal Bearings, The Evidence So Far http://www.mydepuyhiprecall.com/2011/06/metal-on-metal-bearings-evidence-so-far.html
Genotoxic issues surrounding systemic effects of metal debris (continued from prior posts)
The committee on mutagenicity has reported that internal exposure to orthopedic metals is associated with increased genotoxicity.
This is a series of commentary from the committee on mutangenicity evidence based on the the key journal articles examined by that committee. I think you will find the results really interesting if you are concerned about the systemic effects of the metal.
Third piece of evidence:
J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2005 Oct;87(10):1439-44.
Metal-specific differences in levels of DNA damage caused by synovial fluid recovered at revision arthroplasty.
SourceBristol Implant Research Centre, Southmead Hospital, Bristol BS10 5NB, UK. email@example.com
AbstractPrevious research has shown an increase in chromosomal aberrations in patients with worn implants. The type of aberration depended on the type of metal alloy in the prosthesis. We have investigated the metal-specific difference in the level of DNA damage (DNA stand breaks and alkali labile sites) induced by culturing human fibroblasts in synovial fluid retrieved at revision arthroplasty. All six samples from revision cobalt-chromium metal-on-metal and four of six samples from cobalt-chromium metal-on-polyethylene prostheses caused DNA damage. By contrast, none of six samples from revision stainless-steel metal-on-polyethylene prostheses caused significant damage. Samples of cobalt-chromium alloy left to corrode in phosphate-buffered saline also caused DNA damage and this depended on a synergistic effect between the cobalt and chromium ions. Our results further emphasise that epidemiological studies of orthopaedic implants should take account of the type of metal alloy used.
What did the committee say about this study?
- They agreed that the assays were done appropriately
- All 6 samples from the Chromium and Cobalt MoM hip revisions induced a statistically significant increase in DNA damage.
- None of the samples from stainless steel on PE resulted in DNA damage
- 4 of the 6 samples of from Co-CR on poly revisions induced statistically significant DNA damage
- Members agreed that the data suggested a plausible hypothesis but no definite conclusions could be drawn

15/05/2018 EU Parliament Study Report - Transport and Tourism for Persons with Disabilities and Persons with Reduced Mobility
8 May 2018. This study has undertaken literature reviews, user and experts' questionnaires, interviews and workshop surveys, analysis of EU legislation, SWOT and Multi-Criteria Analysis, identification of best practices and analyses of case studies. This has led to a mapping of accessibility across the EU Member States (identifying relevant state clusters) for three different sectors: local transport, long-distance transport, and tourism. Specific policies, research priorities and recommendations are made per state clusters and for the EU, which can enhance accessibility in each of the three sectors.

While there were many excellent games that game out over the past year, not every one of them lives up. We've got through my list of Highlights for the year, and just as always we too must go through the disappointments of the year in kind.
Every year, I usually find at least one or two games that end up on both lists for different reasons. In compiling this year's collection, I noticed that this happened with far, far more games than usual, for a variety of different reasons.
As usual, just because a game appears on this list doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. All it means is that there are significant aspects of it that I feel detract from the overall whole. Further, this list is presented in a completely random order.
Without further ado, the disappointments of 2019 are:
While I can certainly heap praise on this game after playing it with my buddy, Acharky, there's no way I couldn't just let it go without addressing the elephant in the room.
It was certainly surreal to see the Guardians of the Galaxy as the first set of playable characters, but that is where my appreciation of the MCU's influence comes to an abrupt and sudden end. To be blunt, I am tired of every single Marvel crossover product being some variant of the quest to obtain the Infinity Stones, culminating in some final confrontation against Thanos, Ultron or whatever big bad happens to be the primary villain of the MCU. I understand that it has to be this way, because that's just what in the popular zeitgeist, but the sheer homogeneity and over-saturation is starting to get to me.
But more than that, Ultimate Alliance 3 felt... way too familiar. The last UA game came out way back in September of 2009, nearly a full decade prior to The Black Order's release in June. We've learned much about how to design video games in the years since, even if the specific niche of 4-player online co-op games. I find it hard to believe that we can't do more than just a series of linear corridors filled with enemies and rudimentary puzzles.
There's also a sheer lack of quality of life features like how heroes outside the chosen party of four just don't gain experience in a game with a 36 playable character cast just isn't acceptable anymore. I shouldn't have to grind up another character just because I want to try something new.
In terms of online play, Acharky had an issue where because I was the host player, and 3 of our 4 party members were on my profile, he wasn't able to dynamically swap characters. If his was knocked out, he might as well go grab a sandwich while I use the other 3 to either clean up or die. This is actually a regression from Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2, where we never had this problem.
Ultimate Alliance 3 isn't a bad game, but I just expect so much more at this point.
Far Cry: New Dawn
After the god awful Far Cry 5, this sequel's mere existence disappoints me.
Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled
If you weren't following what was going on with Crash Team Racing post-release, you'll probably be surprised that this is on the list after I gave it so much praise in my highlights post.
I stand behind those words, but I can't abide by how Activision has treated it. At first, I was excited about the various Grand Prix events, which allowed players to grind challenges throughout the month in order to unlock cosmetic items. Seeing Spyro join the ranks of playable characters through one of these Grands Prix was like a dream come true for me.
As more of them were announced, I began to shift my opinion. Specifically, I was getting tired and worn down trying to keep up with them while also getting enough free time available to play other games and deal with the issues that crop up in daily life. Weak as I am, I even caved and bought a few packs of "Wumpa Coins" to pay for some of the cosmetics I wanted, which became available for purchase after the game came out, reviewers had already submitted their opinions of the game, and the ESRB had already green-lit the box-art.
A veteran of the Overwatch special event economy, I had begun to comprehend what was going on: That this economy was being created to milk the current user base, exhaust them to the point where they feel compelled to purchase enough Wumpa Coins to keep up with the items being released during the Grands Prix.
It's hard to state how difficult it is to swallow that one's own nostalgia is being weaponized against them, but thanks the exact state I found myself in, and so I cut myself off from it all and just gave up on all future Grand Prix events.
I'll likely play Crash Team Racing again, but given how far this version has fallen it's hard to recommend it to people the way I want to.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
As a shooter, I had fun playing Wolfenstein: Youngblood. While there isn't much besides the wide-open Arkane Studios-designed levels and RPG systems separating it from another cooperative first-person shooter, this was a competently designed one of those.
The problem comes from several crucial design decisions. One of them being that even when playing single-player (Note: I still needed to be connected to their servers), with an AI controlled partner, I wasn't able to pause the game. If I ever wanted to take a break, I had to hope I was in an area where no enemies could get to me, or just quit the game otherwise. Yet, because the game doesn't have checkpoints, every time the other Blazkowicz sister (read: The idiot AI) used up all of our shared lives, or quit the game, I was sent back to the beginning of whatever section was the most recent one to load. Losing thirty minutes worth of progress to a game over was not uncommon.
On top of that, being an always online game, with daily quests and a progression system, it obviously included cosmetic items and one-time use boosts that can be purchased with a premium currency paid for with real-world money. That currency: Nazi Gold.... because of course it is.
At least they didn't have the gall to charge full price for this game.
Kingdom Hearts 3
This is going to be hard to write about without getting heavy into spoilers, but I'll do my best.
Kingdom Hearts 3 has a problem where despite the seeming urgency of the plot at hand, not much of note actually happens until the very end of the game, once all of the Disney worlds have been completed. As a result, there's a massive pacing issue where once the plot actually gets underway, it goes by so quickly that events that have been building up for years don't have the breathing room for players to feel their weight.
Beyond that, the Disney worlds are exceptionally hit-or-miss this time around. Some of them, like the Toy Story, Monsters Inc., and Big Hero 6 worlds, do an amazing job at remixing and working within the original source material to create a great story that brings the best out of the Kingdom Hearts original characters and the Disney characters.
Other worlds, like Frozen, Tangled, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 just blatantly rehash the story of the original movie while shoehorning some tasks involving Sora, Donald, and Goofy that neatly section them off from the actual story going around them. It gives off the impression that Disney is being too precious with its IP and deciding that it doesn't want to play ball despite being one of the companies most eager to resell and re-brand classic fairy tales while pretending they own the rights to them. I felt embarrassed for Nomura's sake when I saw that there was a literal shot-for-shot remake of "Let It Go", with Sora interjecting with the occasional "Is that Elsa's voice!?" and "Wow! Look at that!" in the brief pauses between stanzas where the performer took a breath.
I'd say I expect better, but this is Disney we're talking about. They're one of the worst things to ever happen to IP law and this is completely normal for them. Disappointing, but not surprising.
And if you'll indulge me in minor spoilers: They did Kairi dirty.
Sea of Solitude
And while Sea of Solitude does tell a story of a family going through a messy situation through strong visual metaphors and motifs, I can't help but feel that I've seen it all before. At the risk of sounding callous, it felt like playing the "Sad, Artistic Indie Platformer, Version 206".
Having already played the likes of Papa Y Yo, which this game strongly reminded me of, it takes more than to impress me these days. There's nothing the game does wrong, but nor is there anything that made it stand out.
Tom Clancy's The Division 2
I could say I put it on this year's list for Ubisoft's pathetic stance on politics in games: That a game whose opening implies only gun-owners stood a chance in the post-apocalypse, and makes the player's base of operations the White House has no political leanings whatsoever. However, while these facts are true, it would be disingenuous of me to say that I had any significant emotions whatsoever on that topic beyond finding the whole debacle hilarious.
I have no memory of consciously dropping The Division 2. It was more that whenever I even remotely felt the urge to launch it, I felt like there was always another game that deserved my attention more or that I would have more fun playing. And eventually, months later, I uninstalled it to make space for something else in my hard drive... probably Hitman 2 after a content update.
I wish I had more to say, but it's The Division 2. It's an Ubisoft shooter. You already knew how you felt about that before you saw it on this list.
Magic the Gathering: Arena
And while the Standard play environment has been rock solid for the better part of the year, the recent release of Throne of Eldraine, combined with the rotation, has resulted in one deck archetype dominating all the others, and then another different doing the same after that first one got it's key card banned. As of the time of writing, enough cards have been banned that the meta is starting to fall back into a healthy place, but I cannot deny that, were it not for my Commander format playgroup, my desire to keep playing might have been thoroughly sapped.
With regards to Arena specifically, it's also had its share of problems over the past year. The first was the way it handled rotation, with the advent of the new Historic format to allow users to play with cards that had rotated out of Standard. The controversy game from the fact that the Arena team decided to make Historic-only cards cost twice as many resources to craft as regular cards. While they eventually backed down from this change, the fact that they thought it was a good idea at all left a sour taste in my mouth.
On top of that, we've seen them double down some of the worst monetization trends of the year. When the option to sell card packs already exists and is fully implemented in the game, it feels like double-dipping to do the same for cosmetics like player icon, card sleeves, and alternate art for the cards I already own. Then I was floored when I logged in to find an additional Fortnite-style Battle Pass system implemented on top of all that. This has become more-or-less the only long-tail service game I play, and even then I can't help but feel nickel-and-dimed at every opportunity.
It's the kind of thing that makes me want to quit, to be honest, despite how much I actually love the act of playing Arena.
Telling Lies
And despite how much obvious care and attention went into it, I don't think it's quite as good as its predecessor, for two key reasons. First being that, without spoilers, the "central mystery" was a lot easier to solve this time around. Whether it was by design or by luck, I had already figured out most of the major plot point conclusively before I had even seen half of the available videos. There were obviously small details I was missing, but nothing that changed the context of the story.
Secondly, there's a crucial UI change that drove me mad after about an hour after I discovered it, and my playthrough was eight whole hours. In Her Story, the base premise is that players are navigating a database of video clips. By searching for a term or phrase, they get back the five clips where that term is used most often. From there, then clue onto new terms that can search up new videos and repeat until satisfied.
The problem arises once a video is selected for playback. Instead of logically starting a clip from the very beginning, they start from the first mention of the term searched. When that first use happens six minutes into and eight minute clip, and the player needs to spend several minutes rewinding it just to make sure they don't miss key terms or information, that can be exceptionally painful. Doubly so when said player is me and I didn't realize that was the case until I had already seen an hour's worth of partial clips.
Since the clips are from webcam conversations this time around, I would have also liked the option to view them side by side to get the full context in one viewing, as opposed to having to search for the other clip in the conversation to get the full picture, but that's nowhere near as problematic as the other UI issue.
It's a game I'm glad I played, but a couple of serious UI issues make it more of a chore than I would want it to be.
Death Stranding
It would be beyond simple to just leave it there, or even worse, just spout meme after pointless meme that has become the norm with Death Stranding discourse in my particular friend group. But not only does that do a disservice to the game, it does a disservice to my utter contempt for the worst aspects of it.
The core gameplay is surprisingly fun, and I grew to think fondly of the delivery mechanics, yet I got the impression that Death Stranding was almost afraid that they wouldn't be enough to pull their metaphorical weight. Any time I found myself in one of the third-person shooter sections, or in a boss battle against a giant tar monster, I found the exercise exceedingly tedious. At no point would I ever call it challenging, nor was I having an even remotely stimulating experience. The same was true for the times I needed to sneak past "Beached Things" to avoid risking my haul.
And if the "quote" prefacing this section was any indication, I was never able to take any part of seriously. When my friends and I all started, I had heard its quality referred to as both "first-year film student" and "stoned at Denny's" respectively, and by the time I finished that feeling had only grown stronger.
Even if there was more meat to the kind of message the team was trying to convey, it's often undercut by various layers within the games own presentation. It's downright distracting to have Sam Porter Bridges, played by critically acclaimed Norman Reedus, to say a bike is so cool that itshould be on Ride with Norman Reedus, or drinking out of a canteen and seeing the phrase "Monster Energy drink consumed" plastered on my screen. Being simultaneously asked to take this third-grader's view of how "disconnected we all are, maaaaaaaaaaaaaan-ah" seriously while being subject to what certainly feels like crass corporate sponsorship began to wear on my nerves in a way that genuinely surprised me.
I wasn't one of the people expecting this game to be the next godsend, but nor was I expecting the writing to get this bad. I'm glad I played Death Stranding, but now that it's done I never want to do so again.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Normally, even this should be unremarkable, but the downgrade was serious enough that it caused me some eye strain until I managed to adjust: Actual, genuine ocular discomfort. That's a sensation that I've been lucky enough to never encounter before or since.
Metro Exodus
The biggest change to the Metro formula are the semi-open levels, since the story has protagonist Artyom and the group he works with escaping the subway tunnels and exploring the world outside of their little hovel.
Sadly, the openness of these specific levels never adds anything to the experience. It felt much like the open-worlds in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, where there were discrete areas of interest and a vast ocean of nothingness between them. I couldn't help but think that I would be having a better time if that walk was skipped and I just had a loading screen separating me from my destination.
And unlike previous Metro games, I didn't find myself interested in the story. By the time I grew invested in whatever group of strangers my ragtag bunch of Russian misfits had allied with for a particular section, we were already set to move on and leave them to their fate.
Even when it came to the moment-to-moment gameplay, there were numerous times where I experienced a technical issue that caused me to keep to reload a checkpoint, or the linear section I was in was so poorly presented that I still somehow got lost. While the shooting is competent, it's not interesting enough to soothe the pain I kept experiencing from all of the little problems I had during my time with Exodus.
It's such a bummer that the Metro trilogy ends on a sour note.
And there we go. This was mostly a solid year, but there's no denying the modern monetization methods detracted from more than a few games I would otherwise have no problems with. Other games just had issues on their own, but by and large, despite this list, 2019 was marked by games that catered to exactly my interests.
Hope to see the same in 2020.

The Comprehensive Institutes of Transplant Centers at Kauvery Hospitals (Trichy, Chennai, Karaikudi and Hosur) offer various options to individuals requiring a Pancreas Transplant. A pancreas transplantation could be the life-enhancing option that may be needed, particularly for those who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, a condition that occurs when the pancreas is not making enough insulin and blood sugar levels rise to unhealthy levels.
It is a surgical procedure that replaces the dysfunctional or improperly functioning pancreas,
with a healthy pancreas, usually obtained from a deceased donor.
View more
In this procedure, people with early or no kidney disease and with diabetes are considered for a pancreas transplant. This is a solitary or stand-alone procedure not involving any other organ transplant.
In many cases, a combination of kidney-pancreas transplant may be performed simultaneously on people who are diabetic and who are at risk for kidney damage.
Patients who may have a long wait for both kidney and pancreas donors to be available, may first undergo a kidney transplant to replace the damaged kidney and after recovering from the kidney transplant surgery, will undergo the pancreas transplant procedure, as and when an organ becomes available.
The islet cells in the pancreas produce the insulin. These cells are taken from a deceased donor's pancreas and are injected into the vein that transports blood to the liver. Generally more than one injection is necessary to transplant the islet cells.
Even though a living donor can contribute a part of their pancreas and may be used in some cases, nonetheless pancreas transplant is usually done using a deceased donor's organ.
You will be in the safe hands of a professional health care team comprising of:
And above all, you will be back on your feet leading a normal life, postsurgical, and after our intense after care and follow up care services.

The character of Luke Cage might have been set up in the Netflix TV series Marvel's Jessica Jones, but his own standalone series, Marvel's Luke Cage, isn't going to feel like a sequel to the events of that show.
Speaking at the 2016 winter Television Critics Association press tour to promote Jessica Jones, Mike Colter opened up about how Luke Cage will fit into Marvel's Netflix series. He's almost completed wrapping Luke Cage: Season 1, and said it won't feel like a straight sequel to Jessica Jones.
"We pride ourselves in all being unique shows, and Luke Cage is definitely not a sequel to Jessica Jones or a spinoff, because it was already originally was supposed to be a show, and it so happens that you can't tell her story without telling Luke Cage's story," he told IGN and a small group of reporters.
He continued, "The show that we're filming now, Marvel's Luke Cage as opposed to Marvel's Jessica Jones, is completely different. He goes off to uptown and he does his own thing, and there will be some of that. The time lapse is not that long, and so it's not like Jessica Jones never happened. I think in the world of Jessica Jones, what I enjoyed about being in that world as Luke Cage is that I wasn't front and center."
For Colter, getting to learn who Luke was as a side character in Jessica's story gave him the opportunity to understand who the man is at his core. He found Luke to be a "supporter" through how he dealt with Jessica and the issues she was going through with Kilgrave (David Tennant).
Spoilers for Jessica Jones ahead. Skip the next section if you're looking to avoid details about the end of Season 1.
At the end of Marvel's Jessica Jones: Season 1, Luke also was mind controlled by Kilgrave and manipulated into fighting Jessica against his will. This came after Luke learned that Jessica was forced by Kilgrave to kill his wife Reva, something which he had a hard time coming to terms with and which drove a huge wedge in their relationship.
The series never resolved how the experience of being controlled by Kilgrave affected Luke's understanding of Jessica's out-of-her-control actions, and Colter said he's interested in finding out the fallout of that.
"We're all finding and discovering ourselves as superheroes as much as we're finding ourselves as humans. Every time someone takes over your mind and you go through this situation, I don't think you can walk away from it without having some of the same feelings that Jessica had," he said. "Especially for someone like Luke, I think he's a very strong individual and he's not used to having someone completely take over and dominate him like that. I think that was something that was emasculating, probably. I can't get into where he goes from there."
Jessica and Luke's last full conversation was when Luke was under Kilgrave's control, and it's unclear how much of what he said to her was his own sentiments or words put in his mouth.
"The question would be: was that Luke or was that Kilgrave talking?" Colter said. "There's questions, and we just have to wait and see when Jessica and Luke meet again how much of that is an understanding, how much he's moved past that. It's not something that you move past easily, so it will be interesting to see how they get this relationship on the mend, or if it will mend, and when. I'm as curious as you are."
Colter believes Luke needs time to come to terms with what happened to him, but he does expect that will be resolved down the road, whether it's in Luke Cage: Season 1, Jessica Jones: Season 2 or in some other property. "I think there's a bit of realism in that you're not sure what's going to happen, but based on the comic books we do know that they come back together. Right? Let's just see how they get there," he said.
Reflecting on Season 1, Colter admitted that he was surprised that there was so much conversation around his sex scenes on Jessica Jones. "I didn't think it was that big of a deal. It's tame compared to some things I've seen!" he said. "I didn't get that people would respond to that the way they did. I was really shocked by it."
Up next on Netflix's Marvel slate are Daredevil: Season 2 and Luke Cage: Season 1, both premiering in 2016. Also in the works are Jessica Jones: Season 2, Iron Fist: Season 1 and a ensemble season bringing together all the characters called The Defenders. The character of Iron Fist has not been cast yet, and Colter is excited as everyone else to find out who will play Luke Cage's partner/best friend from the comics.
"I am, for the main reason that I get a nice little break because I'm like, 'Jessica, Luke -- there is an Iron Fist, right?'" he said. "I'm really excited about it. Whether I'll be in it, I don't know, but it will be nice to see."
