Much to my shock and awe, Fail-Deadly appears to have taken first place in Ludum Dare 18!
I felt pretty good about this game, but even so my hope was just for it to place better than Conquistador (which finished Ludum Dare 17 at #34). I was optimistic about Fail-Deadly's chances of making the top 20, but I never in my wildest dreams thought it could take first... especially not with awesome stuff like Metagun in the running!
I'm blown away, and frankly rather humbled. Sincere thanks to everyone who played my silly little game and found it worthy of your praise: you've all just made my year. <3Posted In:

False amount of troops
in Bug Reports
Game sometimes says that I've got a troop but that's not truth, all my Bricktrons are workers.
Hey Kuzynn,
Do you know how to reproduce this issue?
It's a random problem that sometimes happens, sometimes does not. Firstly I'm calling to arms my Bricktrons and sometimes after the fight when they put down equipment the amount is false. And that's not only about knights, I had this problem few days ago with Artificer as well.Shatojon said:
Hey Kuzynn,

Thanks, I'll send this to QA.

A preferential payment describes a situation in which directors pay specific creditors to put them in a better position than other creditors. When the company eventually goes into a formal insolvent process such as liquidation the Court has power, upon the application of the liquidator, to set such payments aside and enforce the beneficiary and/or the directors to pay the monies back.
Firstly however, the Court must judge whether it was the directors desire to create the preference, unless the beneficiary is connected to the company or its directors in which case desire is presumed by the Court (although the presumption is rebuttable).
If it is proven that such a desire to prefer did exist, directors can face disqualification and may be liable to make a payment to the company at a level that the Court thinks fit. If any of your clients are in financial difficulty, it is important for them to have up-to-date financial information and to document the rationale for making payments so they can minimise potential personal liability. The action required will depend on the company's situation – if directors are uncertain we are able to give them clear and expert advice based on assessment of their individual circumstances.
If you or your clients would like to know more about preferences, please call Paul Bailey or Tom Ahmad on 020 8662 6070 for confidential advice.

(midway through a typical dinner conversation)
Hank: But what I don't understand is how a baby can be born from your body without pain?
Me: Easy.
Pai: Drugs.
Hank: You took drugs?
Me: Yup, both times. With Amália I had to as I had a surgery, but with you it was optional because I had you naturally. I chose to take drugs so that I could nap and then watch project runway.
Hank: You watched Project Runway while I was born?
Me: Makes a lot of sense now doesn't it.
Pai: Be honest. She didn't watch project runway while you were being born but during her labor.
Me: That's right. The doctor came in and said, "Yup, it's time," and I was all "Can't this wait a few more minutes? It's the final runway show!"
Pai: It couldn't wait.
Me: Nope. I also knew that once you were born I wouldn't have the time to watch silly old Project Runway because I would be too busy being your mama.
Hank: But why do some ladies not take drugs?
Me: Because while you are pregnant whatever you take the baby takes: whatever you drink, eat… If you smoke the baby smokes.
Hank: And that makes the baby very sick.
Me: Yes, it does, so some mothers choose to have the baby naturally so that their baby doesn't have to also take drugs.
Hank: What does smoking do to you?
Pai: It makes you very sick.
Me: Smoking deposits tar and other toxins into your lungs and you need your lungs to work.
Hank: Is it like… Like a tree in a construction site?
Pai: Very good analogy.
Me: Exactly like that. A tree in a construction site get coated in a thick layer of…
Hank: Dirt.
Me: Right, the leaves become coated in dust and dirt and therefore the tree is unable to breath or collect sunlight what a tree needs to live.
Hank: Poor tree they need to breath oxygen.
Me: Nope. We need trees to make oxygen. Do me a favor: breath in.
Hank: (takes a deep breath)
Me: That is your body taking oxygen into your lungs. Now, breath out.
Hank: (exhales)
Me: Once you took that oxygen into your body it was processed and you exhaled something called carbon dioxide which trees need to produce oxygen. It is a cycle. Part (loud dramatic singing) IN THE CIRCLE… THE CIRLE OF LIFE!
Pai: (wincing)
Molly: (extremely excited at my singing, clapping and screeching along with me)
Me: (sigh) I have always wanted to be a tree. If Buddhist and Hindu religions are correct then I may have that opportunity some day.
Hank: To be a tree?
Me: Yes, or I have already been a tree. In those religions they believe that we start our journey and work our way up to being a human. We live all the lives from bug, to animal and lastly to human. You live over and over learning the most you possibly can until you have come to the highest form of enlightenment and then you can transcend to what is called Nirvana or what Christians call heaven.
Hank: And there are many kinds of religion.
Me: Yup and they all have a very important commonality: faith. Faith is the belief that there is something greater than us. There is no wrong religion. They all ask you to believe that you are on a journey to be the best possible person you can be, but none of them let you know what the end of the story is, because mystery is an important component to discovery. You can only discover who you are that way. If you knew the end of the story you wouldn't stick around to read the middle. Religion aims to assist your soul.
Hank: (puzzled look)
Me: Do you know what a soul is?
Hank: (shaking his head no)
Me: Your soul is your personality, your imagination, why you laugh and dance and sing and make art. Your soul is what your body supports. Your body is the house for your soul. Just like a snail and his shell. Religion aims to help your soul navigate.
Hank: That is all great, but what I have really been thinking about this whole time you were talking is that I really just want a glass of water. (shaking his empty glass) May I be excused?
Pai: (snickering)
Molly: (growling)
Hank: What?
Me: (giggling) Nothing. Sure, off you go. First major dogmatic conversation and your takeaway is thirst. (shaking my head) It is just perfect really.
Hank: (walking away) I also learned about trees. That is good for my soul.
Pai: (collapsing laughing)
Me: (positively purple with laughter) True story. (wiping tears from my eyes)

Whilst checking my Instagram feed last week I came across the mesmerising iPhoneographer Jia Huey, from Singapore. His architectural shots, with beautiful lines and symmetry caught my instantly and I knew I wanted to see more. Jia captures Singapore in the most fascinating way, with glimpses of strong, bold architecture that draws you into each photo. Being a perfectionist and liking clean lines, these photos make me feel happy, and these are just some of my favourites.

Your NO Countsc - International Anti-Corruption Day.
The UN has named 9th of December as the official International Anti-Corruption Day and this month we would like to focus on it in the wake of our current PM's demonetisation move.
Corruption is a global crime, a scourge which knows no barriers and one which affects nearly every facet of life. It is also one which, through collaborative, international awareness raising and action can be beaten. People often think that corruption is "just a way of life", but every society, sector and individual would benefit from standing United Against Corruption.
Attitudes on corruption are changing. As recently as ten years ago, corruption was only whispered about. Today there are signs of growing intolerance toward corruption and more and more politicians and chief executives are being tried and convicted.
How you can help best?
- Educate the public about the government's responsibility to be corruption-free
- Raise awareness with the public, media and government about the costs of corruption for key services such as health and education
- Engage the youth of your country about what ethical behaviour is, what corruption is and how to fight it, and to demand their right to education
- Report incidents of corruption
- Refuse to participate in any activities that are not legal and transparent
- Foster economic stability by enforcing zero-tolerance practices towards corruption

"Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying: This is how you should bless the Israelites. Tell them: May God bless you and watch over you...." (Num. 6:23)
The Angry Father and the Neighbor
A father was once furious with his son's insolent and irresponsible behavior. He was so angry that he banished the young man from the house.
But it was wintertime, and the son was without proper clothing. Suffering from the cold, the youth went to a neighbor's house and asked him to try to get his father to give him a proper coat.
The neighbor agreed. He approached the boy's father that he should have pity on his son and clothe him properly for the cold weather.
The father responded, "Please do me a favor, and allow me to provide a coat for my son."
The neighbor was confused. What did he mean by this?
The father explained. "Fool! You came here thinking that I should feel sorry for my son. Don't you know that I am his father, and there is nothing I want more than to help him?"
"It is only because of the boy's arrogance and laziness that I am forced to act this way. It is in his best interests that I am strict with him.
"So if you want to help the boy, why do you speak with me? Speak to the boy! Tell him to correct his behavior. Why do you come to me?"
The Job of the Kohanim
The blessing of the Kohanim, "May God bless you..." is a request addressed to God, that God should bless the people of Israel. Why then do the Kohanim turn to face the people as they recite the blessing? Should they not be facing toward the front of the synagogue, praying to God to bless and protect His people?
Like the father in the parable, God wants the best for Israel. He would love to bless us - but we need to be deserving of that blessing! Therefore, the Kohanim face the people.They are entreating us to be deserving of God's blessing.
God's command to Aaron echo the father's words to his neighbor. "This is how you should bless the Israelites: Tell them!" Command them that they should make themselves worthy, and then, "God will bless you."
We find this idea in the Midrash: "God told Moses: Before you command Me regarding My children, command My children regarding Me!" (Rashi on Num. 28:2)
Before we complain about all of our troubles, we should first take a look at ourselves. How many of our problems did we bring upon ourselves?
(Adapted from Mishlei Yaakov, pp. 321)

This first image is of the hand tied raw silk piece I gathered yesterday and dyed. It was dyed with acid dyes. I've already started working on this piece but won't show it again until it's finished.
The second piece is white linen, painted with a thin wash of Pearl Ex metallic pigment in watered down acrylic medium.
Third one is a piece of linen/rayon fabric that I painted yesterday with liquid watercolors and drawing inks, which were then steam set. Today I overpainted it with Lumiere fabric paint.
This next piece is a habotai silk that was painted with liquid watercolors and drawing inks, steam set, stencelled with Golden Liquid Acrylic paint, then finished up with the Pearl Ex in acrylic medium mentioned above.
This piece is silk chiffon that was painted and overpainted with a variety of paints.
The last piece is an "old" scarf that has had several iterations. I bought the blank -- silk chiffon -- back in the early 1990s when I was painting silk -- but I'd never used it until a couple years ago. Then, right after I started doing woven shibori, I took this scarf and did some hand stitching on it, then dyed it the colors you see here. Today I overpainted it with Lumiere and a bronze acrylic paint, very diluted.
The best part of all this is that I'm putting my fears aside and just going for it. There are no mistakes. Whatever I come up with, I'll work from there to create whatever wants to be expressed.

This is my first poem of the 2016 Holiday Seasons and it's for the children. Not to worry, I have a few planned for the pets, parents, and people with the heart of children.
Christmas Night & Holiday Lights
It is getting close to Christmas,
And the Holidays will be full of cheer.
The stores are all lit up and bright,
So parents can shop for gifts at night.
Delightful presents for friends and family,
Are packaged and waiting to fill stockings hanging.
Bringing treats to everyone in the house,
With fun and love to share by candlelight.
Little children's eyes are bright and shiny,
Wishing on stars and watching the skies,
Keeping an eye out,
For signs of Santa Claus flying by.
Not rain or hail
Nor snow or sleet,
Will slow down those reindeer,
On their mission Christmas night.
If you blink too often,
Or fall asleep,
You may miss the reindeer,
Flying over your house Christmas night.
But have no fear,
If you miss this sight,
They'll not miss your home,
On Christmas Night.

The sceptics say there is no such thing, they say there is no proof.
They say that the glaciers are not melting, sea levels are not raising , and just dispel all the proof as nonsense, and that green house gases are not harming the earth or us.
Countries like America, Canada, China, India who are the biggest consumers of fuels do not believe in it and are doing nothing about, ok, they tinker around the edges a bit.
How long do they think the fuels are going to last, another 50 or 100 years at the most. What doe's mankind do then.
Only one or two countries are investing in solar, wind and sea power these are the things of the future and will be the only means of power in the future, other than nuclear power.
The weather in every country is getting worse. In Briton this year on the 26th June, a county in one day had over 1,000 lightning strikes. On the same day there were two landslides, one tornado, hail stones, violent storms, flash floods, torrential rain and it was the wettest June since records began. This is not normal weather patterns for the summer.
Going back to when i was young, a summer was summer, you could depend on the weather being hot and dry and during winter you would get frost and snow.
It's not only Briton, every country is being increasingly hit with violent storms, floods, tornado's, landslides etc. And what do the sceptics say, "this is normal."
If this is normal, i would not like to see what the weather will be like in the year 2100.
What do you think about the weather in your country, is it getting worse or staying normal as it was 40 or 50 years ago.
Just look at the weather in America on Friday / Saturday, 12 dead, nearly three million without electricity and untold damage, that was not normal weather.

Calm before the Crazy
Looking at my phone I see that I have lots of photos of Oliver holding worms, so I guess it's blog-worthy. Above, he found a worm while hiking.
And here he found a worm in the garden. For Easter, we got the kids kiddie-sized garden tools. They were so excited they got right to business digging.
San Diego! Scott had a radiology conference there, so Grandma Raymond flew to Boston to be with the kids so I could go with Scott! It was amazing! On the first day, we rented a car and drove to La Jolla.
We stopped at a taco stand...

About me
Welcome to my Web page. I'm happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice.
I am a head and neck surgeon and have practiced for more than 25 years at West Los Angeles Medical Center. In 2007, I transitioned into my administrative role as the chief of the department. When I was in the third grade, I "assisted" my father, a surgeon, in sewing up a deep laceration in one of our pets. From that day forward, I knew that I would become a surgeon myself. I moved from Chicago to Los Angeles in 1981 to attend the University of California, Los Angeles, for my residency. My husband and I looked back at that cold weather only briefly before we decided to stay in Los Angeles. I have four children, all taller than me, who keep me on my toes!
About my practice
I have a medical and surgical specialty practice concerned with the diagnosis, management, and treatment of diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) and related structures of the head and neck, including the sinuses, larynx (voice box), oral cavity, and upper pharynx (mouth and throat). I am specially trained in treating adult patients with tumors of the head and neck as well as with salivary gland and thyroid masses. I also enjoy treating children with their assortment of ear, nose, and throat concerns.
How I thrive
Outside of work, my family life is my major priority, and with four kids and a dog, it has been pretty hectic. Although most of my kids are now in college and beyond, I still have a high school soccer and volleyball player at home, which keeps me traveling to her tournament destinations. In my spare time, I like to relax with my kids and family, and I also like to garden, do arts and crafts, and travel.

Incentive Design & Token Utility
Stability fee - a reward for Network Keepers for staking in favor of "honest" Guilds (which members repay debts properly). This reward is charged as part of the interest rate of a loan.
Penalty fee - a penalty, applied in situation of default on debt of at least one Guild member to the stakes in her favor. It means, that all stakes are equally penalized for a certain percentage of tokens for every default even.
Infra-network interest rate - the maximum value of interest rate magnitude that can be applied to a loan.
Governance fee - the percentage of a debt, that is required to be paid in AKRO tokens which are burned after that. Similar to MKR in MakerDAO.
Staking - a process of placing AKRO tokens as a risky deposit (or skin in the game) to special smart contract with purpose to perform "selection" of honest Guild by collective appraisement. If Guild members repay debt properly, the person who made a stake receive a reward in form of stability fee and (in some cases) additional reward in AKRO tokens.
|Token Type
|Network token
|Token Use
|Governance and Work Token
|Comparable token models
|MakerDAO (We are using similar governance approach), Livepeer (We don't have token inflation as in Livepeer, but we have similar mechanics to delegated stakes in favor of network actors to allow them to perform actions in the network. Our actors are rewarded in AKRO additionally for their staking activity from the Growth Fund)
|Value creation and value capture
|Curated supply of community-vetted borrowers and incentivized external lenders balance out by network keepers who are incentivized to maintain sustainable network growth. Network adoption is driven by lack of adequate banking alternatives; adoption will drive demand for the network token, whilst staking and burning reduces its supply.
Token type: what utility does the token provide?
Using OutlierVentures classification, Akropolis token can be classified as Network Token, combining the Work and Governance functionality. It provides the right to contribute work to a network and participate in the governance process. Its utility is derived from the decentralized coordination of token holders, e.g. Augur (REP), MakerDAO (MKR), Numeraire (NMR), Livepeer (LPT). We modeled our token with reference to MKR and LPT in particular as the network objectives are highly comparable.
Role and purpose: what is the role of the token?
Our token is classified as a Network Token, combining the Work token and Governance functionality. It provides functionality within the Akropolis network, and can be used to control access to liquidity, provide governance functionality, and/or contribute capital to the network.
As such, the token is an essential element of the internal economy and cannot be replaced by an external stablecoin as token stakes and governance approach required to be managed only by using a token, which value is connected to the current network and not tied to other projects/networks.
To perform Community Staking and execute a Governance process we cannot use other tokens. Other examples of network tokens are those of Ocean Protocol, Fetch, and Ethereum.
The loans will be provided in known and reliable stablecoins, which will be further used to repay such loans and interest. AKRO will not be used for this purpose.
Underlying value: what is the value of the token tied to?
The value of the Akropolis token is tied to the key interactions between network participants, possibility to receive a profit by providing work for the network and to participate in the governance process. It should be noted that the token holder does not receive any profits by simply holding the token. The value is exchanged over the network, similarly to Ethereum, Ocean, and Fetch.
Akropolis token does not grant the right to receive any profits, income, payments, returns, dividends from Akropolis or any entity from its group of companies, nor is it intended to be a security, commodity, bond, debt instrument or any kind of financial instrument or investment carrying equivalent rights.
Value Proposition: How value is created and captured?
The network's raison-d'etre is to create value for its participants where none existed before and to either (a) meet a current need, or (b) enable a novel prior inconceivable or impossible value-accretive functionality. Our value proposition addresses existing challenges to growth and scalability of AFOs and offers novel ways of interaction, governance and value exchange. Thus, the Network's benefits to users and tokenholders are:
Substantial cost reduction, ease of set-up and low cost of maintenance;
Reduction of perceived and real transactional risks;
Network growth in terms of volume of transactions parsed through it and number of users;
Scalability across geographies.
Token Functionality and Use by Stakeholder Type
Token functionality and use is modeled using Livepeer and MakerDAO frameworks and is designed to ensure that all participants, acting in their own self-interests are motivated to (a) maximize the value captured through and by the network; and (b) maintain sustainable network growth. Please note that a party may combine roles for a greater impact within the network.
|Economic Objectives
|How does a token help them achieve it?
|AFO (Borrowers and their associations (Guilds)
|Network Keepers
|Capital Providers (Lender)
How this token model will work in the real world?
AKRO staking (the Community trust mechanism)
The Network Keepers are staking their tokens in favor of Guilds, that are appraised as reliable by them. This appraisement can be based both on on-chain and off-chain data. Guild is an association of AFOs, that has own governance and policy. The aim of the Guild is to select trustworthy and reliable members, and as more reputable is Guild, the more stakes (and as a consequence - the capital) it can attract from the Network Keepers and Capital Providers, respectively. The Guilds in our view are close to a Chamber of Commerce or in some cases a Self-Regulated Organizations, that both have a historical approval of success and now are widely used in countries such as Switzerland and Germany.
As access to liquidity, granted by Capital Providers, requires the stake in favor of a Guild, the Guild is interested to select only trustworthy and honest AFO for membership from one side and has the incentive to force debt repayment by members from other. By applying these mechanics in the network, the Capital Providers have a decreased credit risk and protected from the frauds and dishonest behavior of AFOs combined with good profitability, what leads to their interest to provide more liquidity and grow the network. Network Keepers are incentivized to make as best underwriting as possible to earn stability fee and (in some cases) the additional AKRO tokens.
The Governance mechanic
All network actors holding tokens can participate in the governance process. The governance includes the voting for establishment values of critical ecosystem variables such as stability fee, governance fee and infra-network rate (a max interest rate applied to loans in the network). Such governance mechanic helps to balance the interests of all actors and provide decentralized determination of crucial parameters, that obviously cannot be established in the centralized mode.

Data warehousing adoption for the medical industry
Recent technological advances allow the medical industry to use data warehousing for accessing and understanding data.
This article originally appeared on the BeyeNETWORK.
The medical industry has been slow to adopt data warehousing. This phenomenon is unfortunate since integrated and historical data is especially needed in the medical field. In addition, data warehousing really lowers the cost of information and greatly accelerates information access. These are the two things that doctors, nurses and health care providers want. Clearly, data warehousing should be widely accepted by the medical industry.
So why has data warehousing been so slowly adopted in the medical industry?
There are undoubtedly many reasons for this slow pace. From a business perspective, the medical industry is much like a world of many small fiefdoms. There are the doctors' offices, the hospitals, the insurance companies and the medical researchers. While each of these organizations has a piece of the pie, they also have their own agendas. Unfortunately, there is no General Motors of medicine that can focus and organize different information needs.
So maybe there is a good reason why medical data warehousing has not become popular. Perhaps medicine's organizational structure just isn't ready for data warehousing.
But there is an even deeper issue here. Compared to the data residing in organizations that build data warehouses, medical information is not as transaction-oriented. As you examine the data warehouses of banks, airlines and manufacturers, an important question arises. What lies behind these data warehouses? Essentially, transactions make up the daily fodder for the data warehouse. Most organizations that frequently use data warehousing definitely begin with transaction-oriented data.
But where are these transactions in the medical environment? In truth, there are relatively few transactions in the medical industry. Nurses take notes and conduct examinations. Hospitals perform procedures and monitor the episode of care. Doctors complete diagnoses, take more notes and make prescriptions. Throughout all of this, there are only a small number of transactions. Nearly all important information is locked up in text. Because of this, textual information forms the basis of most of the useful medical information, not transactional information. In the past, textual information been very difficult to capture and organize. Textual data is unstructured. There are no tables, attributes or records—the kind of structured data that data warehouse professionals are familiar with.
From a processing standpoint, unstructured data is similar to an octopus. Just as an octopus has many legs, suckers and tentacles simultaneously going in different directions, unstructured data appears complicated and impossible.
Recent technological advances, though, have made it possible to both access and understand unstructured data. Such advances now allow the text that the doctor writes about an examination to be integrated with text from another doctor. Later, the text that a new doctor writes about a diagnosis can be integrated with text that yet another doctor has written about a patient's family medical history. Simply put, doctors can now integrate their unstructured information with other doctors and medical providers. The barriers that once existed have been broken by technology. This new technology is specifically designed for integrating unstructured data, and bringing it into the data warehouse in a meaningful way.
Perhaps medical information can be regularly integrated and shared today. Maybe the many benefits of data warehousing are finally available to an industry truly in need of help with their information.
Bill Inmon is universally recognized as the father of the data warehouse. He has more than 36 years of database technology management experience and data warehouse design expertise. He has published more than 40 books and 1,000 articles on data warehousing and data management, and his books have been translated into nine languages. He is known globally for his data warehouse development seminars and has been a keynote speaker for many major computing associations. Bill can be reached at 303-681-6772.

Compared to banks, credit unions have been "lucky" when it comes to online fraud, says Ken Otsuka, senior analyst, risk management, for CUNA Mutual Group.
Don't expect that good fortune to continue.
"Credit unions could soon be affected on a widespread basis" by online banking fraud, he says.
The root of the problem: Trojan keyloggers, primarily the Zeus Trojan, Otsuka explains. A Trojan keylogger monitors and captures keystrokes, logs them to a file, and sends them to cyber thieves.
The Trojan resides on users' computers without their knowledge and is used primarily to capture online banking login credentials.
Trojans such as Zeus are spread through phishing e-mails, generally targeting credit unions' key employees, he says. Users of popular social networking websites such as Facebook have also been targeted.
To better protect member accounts, Otsuka advises credit unions to implement:

NRA opposition to Surgeon General nominee lacks credible deterrent
The fact remains, without the assurance of a consequence, senators will be free to confirm someone Mr. Cox accurately describes as disastrous, with absolutely no repercussions to their NRA grades or to their eligibility for endorsements and financial support.
Check it out:
The National Rifle Association published a statement Thursday announcing a letter addressed to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in which the powerful gun rights group declared it "strongly opposes the confirmation of Vivek Hallegere Murthy, M.D., M.B.A., as United States Surgeon General."
"Dr. Murthy's record of political activism in support of radical gun control measures raises significant concerns about his ability to objectively examine issues pertinent to America's 100 million firearm owners and the likelihood he would use the office of Surgeon General to further his preexisting campaign against gun ownership," NRA's Institute for Legislative Action Executive Director Chris W. Cox explained.
The letter went on to detail some of Murthy's anti-gun activism via "gun control" policies he has supported as president of Doctors for America (formerly Doctors for Obama), including mandatory licensing to purchase guns and ammunition, mandatory training and waiting periods. Additional policies supported by Murthy include bans on semi-automatic firearms and their ammunition, removing policies from the Affordable Care Act preventing physicians from documenting gun ownership, and removing restrictions on federal funding for anti-gun advocacy "research."

This was not my week. Last week's holiday was a veritable black hole for productivity, but instead of leaving me revitalised and raring to go, caused me to forget that I am a student, and while this is admittedly not the most taxing of vocations, I should still know things like the time and day of the week.
This brings me neatly to my first blunder of the week; missing a class. Back in Edinburgh missing class is not a big deal at all, in fact, during the cold winter months (any time between July and May) attending every class becomes the subject of a great internal moral struggle -think Smeagol and Gollum or Norman Osborn and the Green Goblin – and, like in the movies, the bad guy normally comes out on top. Not in France; here registration is much stricter; every absence is scrutinised, every misdemeanor punished, which meant that on Tuesday I had every intention of going to my eight thirty lecture for fear of retribution if I missed it, only to be thwarted by my oldest foe: technology. I have never understood how things like mobile phones work and have long since convinced myself that technology is just a clever repackaging of witchcraft and not to be trusted. This mistrust has slowly deepened to the extent that I thought for a while that the game 'farmville' on facebook was the first stage of a plot by computers to enslave all of mankind in a 'Matrix' cum 'Terminator' type apocalypse. I am sharing with you now these musings,which I will undoubtedly some day jabber to a shrink while rocking back and forth in my straight jacket, because it was this kind of logic that leads me to the conclusion that my phone betrayed me. I thought I was being super organised by setting the phone manually to daylight savings time, only for the devious cad to turn itself a further hour backwards, meaning that when my alarm clock went off at eight o'clock, it was really nine.
With this ordeal out of the way I enjoyed a rare triumph as the university rugby team, combined with the engineering college with whom we share a playing field, secured a rare victory and with it bragging rights the next day. Which brings me to another massive difference between this university and back home; Edinburgh is such a big institution that there are no real stars among the students; the most well known ones are probably those who do PR work for nighclubs, and everybody hates them. Here however the set up is more like that of a secondary school, especially among the younger students, with different cliques that wander the corridors staunchly ignoring eachother.The sight of two of my particularly useless rugby colleagues smugly wearing full tracksuits as they waited for a class reminded me forcefully of the jocks from 'Glee' and got me thinking that, in this context, the Erasmus students are probably about level with the glee club on the food chain here, except luckily for us French students do not drink squishies and the older students are much more welcoming than the younger ones. Again I am not sure if this is a French quirk or simply the result of going to a small university, but it does not lend the place the friendliest atmosphere sometimes.
The doom and gloom continued as the history lecture we missed on Monday for the bank holiday was rescheduled for Wednesday at half past eight – a day I normally have off – and the rest of the day was spent making an inept attempt at an essay plan only to discover that French students are taught a different was of planning essays and that my pages of ramblings may as well have been written in lipstick on a piece of toilet paper for all they were worth.
On Friday we got to watch a film in our French as a foreign language class called 'L'auberge espagnole' about an Erasmus student spending a year in Barcelona. It is actually a very funny, and if you allow for the fact that it is a film and therefore a slightly romanticised version of events, extremely well-observed – particularly one English character who is the kind of uptight, soggy biscuit that reminded me pleasantly of at least one girl in each my classes back in Edinburgh.
On Satrday seven of us went to a party organised by a friend of ours who spent last year on Erasmus in Prague and has taken us under his wing on the condition that we live up to his image of Erasmus students as the heart and soul of the party. Unfortunately I took this duty too far and ened up drinking the wide range of spirits as though I was at an all you can eat buffet and wanted to sample eveything. I think my state could best be summed up in the words of Sir Edmund Blackadder: "The eyes are open, the mouth moves, but mr Brain has long since departed".The result was a reenactment that scene in 'Famiy Guy' when they have an ipecac drinking competition. I am still in some physical pain, but feel mainly a grim sense of justice that I got what I deserved for mixing whiskey and wine.
That's all folks. I hope to deliver you some better chat next week.

OPEI hould Delhi be gven state Should Delhi be given statehood? YES MANISH SISODIA NO ! SANDEEP DIKSHIT IT'S COMPLICATED OMESH SAIGAL S. UBHODEEP
EYES MANISH SISoDIA Not about a political party. It is about the democratic rights of citizens Central government started stripping it of its powers. Centre responded by passing orders, forcefully taking away control of Delhi's ACB by sending paramilitary forces Union Home Ministry in May 2015 ruled that the Lieutenant Governor would have complete control over this department appointments and transfers of all officers of the Delhi government. S. UBHODEEP
EDITORIAL DISCUSSION 22nd June unacademy THE HINDU
No other elected government anywhere in India, or even in Delhi for that matter, has seen such curtailment of its powers. Delhi government is not being allowed to operate by - Centre's mercy Bureaucrat in Delhi thinks it is okay to tell his Education Minister that he cannot reveal the number of positions vacant in schools for teachers because that comes under the Department of Services, which is under the Centre's purview. IAS officers have not attended any meeting called by Ministers, or responded to phone calls or texts Whether to create schools, colleges or hospitals, many of our policy proposals are routinely returned. UBHODEEP
In 1991, when the 69th Amendment to the Constitution created the Legislative Assembly of Delhi, the city's population was much smaller. Today, there are nearly two crore people in Delhi. Nowhere in any democracy are two crore people represented by a government with powers as restricted as ours. With time, Goa, Manipur, Himachal Pradesh and Tripura have been granted statehood. The first stage of Delhi's evolution took place in 1991, when the Assembly was created. The time has come to enter the second and final stage to create the full State of Delhi. UBHODEEP
NO ! SANDEEP DIKSHIT Delhi -People from all over India come Officials and people from the civil and uniformed forces from all national units work -It is the headquarters of intelligence and the security apparatus -It has a huge diplomatic core. -It is where all State governments have a direct stake, whether in land, offices or officers UBHODEEP
OThis is not a city for the people who live in it alone, it's a city that houses the national government. -So, kept as a Union Territory with extraordinary powers to a subordinate State government. in ordinary circumstances, these powers should remain with the Central government OExcept for law and order and land - all other subiects are with the State government However, through Lieutenant Governor, the Centre oversees matters regarding Central civil services, some crucial matters of finance, etc. While some of these controls maybe unnecessary, they very rarely come in the wa of the State government doing what it thinks it should do. UBHODEEP
Taking a close look at the points of friction, you find that they are mostly in areas involving either funds or contracts. In each case, the objections or reviews sought from the Lieutenant Governor are reasonable and exercise caution over proposals that on careful reading point to fishy deals. UBHODEEP
AN IT'S COMPLICATED | OMESH SAIGAL The dramatic developments in Delhi, leading to the unprecedented 'dharna Nations attention This posture suits Mr. Kejriwal: by emphasising his lack of power, he can advance his case for statehood, for which the Assembly has recently passed a resolution, and explain his failure to deliver on promises. UBHODEEP
If the status of a full State not given - despite persistent demands, there must be some major issues Two governments in the same city-State In the constitutional scheme, law and order, security and land are State subjects No Central government can afford to leave these critical issues to someone else in a city from which it is also functioning UBHODEEP
Can these objections be met by carving out the New Delhi Municipal Council area?? No. Without them the State will be left almost totally bereft of finances. Create numerous problems of coordination- problems of division of water, power, and of drainage and roads UBHODEEP

Thank you ! Could you please explain how content of water in soil affects the damage caused by an earthquake?
Abhishek Kumar
3 years ago
Look, Shear strength of a soil describe the magnitude of the shear stress that a soil can sustain. The shear resistance of soil is a result of friction and interlocking of particles. Due to the excessive amount of water, the pore hole of soil is completely filled with water and subsequently loose their strength which leads to the more disastrous structural damage.

Ab earthquakeke samay aise hi time kharab hai 'S waves' or upar se soil ke interlocking (bonding) water ke karan easily slip karta hai.

32 Mistakes Companies Still Make When It Comes To Social Media
Mistakes That I Still See Daily From Big Companies On Social Media
- Asking too much of your online audience. Don't ask them to do something long-winded. Click this link then enter here then watch the video then retweet it. NO. Post a natural piece of content, in a user's natural habitat. Make it simple.
- Not investing in the right kind of social advertising.
- Investing in social advertising but then ruining it by using a bad picture.
- Thinking you can just hire one person to run all platforms and create all content including longform and shortform video/scheduling/writing/editing/posting.
- Not having any sort of consistent tone of voice online. Not taking the time to ask "who are we and what do we say?" AND "what DON'T we say?".
- Using the wrong tone of voice for the brand (i.e a car insurance brand trying too hard to be "down with the kids")
- Having a big meeting discussing all big content ideas and then tagging social media on the end of it as the very last thought.
- Not putting social media AT THE HEART of big ideas.
- Hiring interns to do the social media without any guidance.
- Wondering why one tweet has ruined your reputation when you let anyone in the company run riot with it.
- Trying to always get traffic from social. Impressions can be just as useful depending on what you're trying to achieve.
- Not reading up on the latest innovations and becoming stale and behind.
- Using the wrong type of content on the wrong platform.
- A strange and unnatural sponsored partnership that would be so much better as a blatant advert. The partnership has to be on brand to work as a native piece.
- Thinking that "getting a famous Internet person" to "retweet you" is a strategy.
- Not training teams up in knowing the basics of creating a social media strategy.
- Not harnessing the power of influencers within your strategy. Collaborate, instead of just asking them to do stuff for you.
- Spamming people – or desperately asking them to retweet you.
- Not investing in new platforms – cos guess what – building a good account costs TIME and money. You should be treating each social platform like a mini website.
- Not seeing social media as JUST AS important as the rest of your mediums.
- Not putting the same sort of resource and design time into creating social media assets to use.
- Being totally inconsistent when posting.
- Tricking people. Click-baiting.
- Not listening to your audience. Really listening.
- Not jumping on opportunities that come knocking – a complaint could be turned into a brilliant PR-able turnaround.
- Tweeting boring generic stuff that doesn't build meaningful connections.
- Not even being a little bit human in the way you communicate online.
- Not realising that younger audiences see through your every move. People who have grown up alongside the Internet are harder to market to on social media.
- Not celebrating other people/things more often. Constant self-promotion is a turn off.
- Not crowd-sourcing any ideas off the people who know and love your brand.
- Thinking big bloggers/Internet celebs will do something for you, for free. Nope.
- Not realising there are a lot of tools to track success and literal RETURN ON INVESTMENT and instead constantly winging it.
No Responses
Ugh. All of this! Especially the part about tacking social media on as an afterthought. It's so obvious when it happens and really it's just lazy.

The historic site of Fort Mose, established in 1738 by the Spanish as the northernmost point of defense of St. Augustine, is a landmark in American history. About 100 escaped African slaves, who had been serving colonists in the British settlements to the north, were given sanctuary by the Spanish and lived in St. Augustine during a time when the Spanish were trying to reinforce defenses against the British. With great tension between Spain and England, the Spanish authorities in St. Augustine envisioned a strong settlement of free blacks as a major defense for the city, and joined them in building a strong fort of logs and earth two miles north of the City Gates and Cubo Line.
Around Fort Mose, the free Africans cleared fields and built permanent homes of their own. Just one year after the fort was constructed, during a British attack by General James Oglethorpe, the Spanish evacuated the Fort Mose inhabitants into the city and the English overran Fort Mose with a force of 137 men. The Spanish launched a surprise pre-dawn attack on the fort, in a bloody battle with men of the free black militia joining the Spanish troops. The fort itself was destroyed as the Spanish-led forces defeated the British. A second Fort Mose was completed in 1752 just northeast of the original fort's site, and free Africans lived there in peace until 1763. That year Florida was surrendered to Great Britain as part of the treaty ending the French and Indian War, and the inhabitants of Fort Mose were evacuated. Many were resettled in Cuba. The sites of the two forts became overtaken by marsh and nearly forgotten for centuries. Archaeologists eventually identified the evidence of the forts when a landowner, Jack Williams, set out to prove Fort Mose had been on his property.
Today coastal marshes cover what were once the cultivated fields of Fort Mose inhabitants, and the site of the fort is marked with trees. No remains of the earth and wooden structures remain. A boardwalk provides great opportunities for viewing the site of the original settlement, marshes, birds, and wildlife, spanning over 40 waterfront acres. Birding enthusiasts will enjoy opportunities to see species such as Bald Eagle, Great Blue Heron, and White Ibis. Interactive exhibits at the Museum Visitor Center tell the stories of first legally sanctioned free African settlement in what would become the USA, and of the two forts. Artifacts discovered by archaeologists are displayed. The park is located just north of where U.S. Hwy 1 and San Marcos Avenue merge, three miles north of the Castillo de San Marcos, just off US 1. The grounds are open daily and the Museum is open daily except Tues and Wed, with a small admission fee. Address: 15 Fort Mose Trail, St. Augustine, FL

Students who are blind or visually impaired will typically need instructional and material adaptations to electives classes. Instructional strategies and adaptations can allow students who are blind or visually impaired to participate in arts education (including creative arts, dance, and music), physical education and home economics courses.
By: Carmen Willings
Music class is a preferred activity for many students who are blind and visually impaired, but it shouldn't be assumed that all students that are blind will be musicians or be uniquely gifted in this area. Like other areas of the curriculum, adaptations may be necessary to allow the student who is blind or visually impaired to fully participate.
Many aspects of the music program will be the same for students who are sighted and students who are blind or visually impaired. There are some strategies that will help students access the curriculum.
Students should be exposed to a variety of musical instruments from a young age. Show students the different ways that music can be produced. Listening to the differences in sounds will help the student develop auditory discrimination skills. Expose the student to a variety of types of music (ex. concerts, CD's, YouTube videos, etc.) to help develop music appreciation.
The Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI) and the general education music teacher should collaborate, at a very minimum at the beginning of the school year, to review activities and lessons that will be taught throughout the year. If the student will need to read music, it may be necessary to provide enlarged music scores or instruct a student who is blind in the braille music code if the student is a braille reader. Even if the student is using the braille music code, they should be familiarized with print symbols that are used (using tactual graphics) so they can understand terms and descriptions used by their sighted peers. Also, it may be necessary to determine if there is a need for non-visual prompts during conducting.
To help a student practice their scales or other music at home, YouTube videos can be a great resource. Collaborate with the music instructor to ensure that the correct version of the song or the correct scale is available. Copy and send the link home to the family to allow the student to listen and practice at home.
Braille Music Code
Braille music is a form of the six dot braille code used in literary braille. The code includes all the information presented on a standard sheet of a music score including notes and their values, dynamic, expression marks, and fingering. Braille music score is presented in a linear form. In teaching a piano score, the score for the one hand is presented followed by the score for the other hand. Once the student has learned each score, they then play with both hands together. For this reason, it will take longer for a student to learn printed music scores than sighted students. Students must learn to memorize music in order to perform it as sight reading music is not possible with the braille music code as the student will need to read the score tactually instead of visually.
Additional Resources
The music braille code is used internationally. Copies of the music code are available for purchase in hardcopy print and braille from the APH or can be downloaded from BANA.
BRL.org offers a very detailed braille music code manual.
Dancing Dots offers technology, educational resources and training to assist blind and low vision individuals to read, write, and record their music. Their products and services foster inclusion, literacy and independence for visually impaired musicians and audio producers engaged in educational, leisure, and professional pursuits.
How to Read Braille Music by Bettye Krolick provides the basics in clear terms with an emphasis on accessibility. The examples are short, fun and to the point. The book identifies music symbols frequently encountered in elementary to intermediate music with an index for identifying new symbols as they are found. View the pages for free on the internet archive!
Opus Technologies offers software, print, and braille materials for learning and using braille, especially braille music. Products include books and software for music braille, and popular braille sheet music.
