How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Clozapine belongs to a family of medications called antipsychotics. It is used to treat schizophrenia when other medications are not effective. Schizophrenia is related to imbalances in certain brain chemicals such as dopamine. This medication helps to balance these chemicals.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
25 mg
Each round, light yellow tablet, with score on one side and "C25" on the other side contains clozapine 25 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: lactose, maize starch, anhydrous silica colloidal, sodium laurel sulfate, povidone, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, and magnesium stearate.
100 mg
Each round, light yellow tablet, with score on one side and "C100" on the other side contains clozapine 100 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: lactose, maize starch, anhydrous silica colloidal, sodium laurel sulfate, povidone, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, and magnesium stearate.
How should I use this medication?
The recommended dose varies widely based on need but is usually started at 12.5 mg taken once or twice daily and adjusted gradually upwards according to the doctor's instructions.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not stop taking this medication without talking to your doctor. If it becomes necessary to stop this medication, the dose should be reduced gradually to prevent withdrawal effects. Stopping clozapine too quickly can cause a return of the symptoms you originally started taking the medication for as well as headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed. If you miss a dose of this medication and remember within 2 hours, take it as soon as possible. However, if it has been more than 2 hours, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. If you miss 2 or more days of clozapine doses, talk to your doctor before restarting the medication. You may need to start taking the medication at a lower dose than you were taking previously.
Store this medication at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Blood clots: This medication may increase the chance of blood clot formation, causing reduction of blood flow to organs or the extremities.
If you have a history of clotting you may be at increased risk of experiencing blood clot-related problems such as heart attack, stroke, or clots in the deep veins of your leg. Discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
If you experience symptoms such as sharp pain and swelling in the leg, difficulty breathing, chest pain, blurred vision, or difficulty speaking, contact your doctor immediately.
Blood disorders: Because of the significant risk of serious blood disorders, including life-threatening decrease in white blood cell counts, clozapine should only be used by people for whom other medications do not work or for whom other medications cause intolerable side effects.
Blood work must be performed regularly (usually weekly or every 2 weeks) in order to monitor the effect of the medication on the number of white blood cells. Weekly lab tests should also continue for 4 weeks after the medication is stopped. If you notice lethargy (a tired and groggy feeling), weakness, fever, sore throat, flu-like complaints, or any other signs of infection, contact a doctor immediately.
For safety reasons, lab test results are recorded in patient registries. A patient registry is a database of health-related information collected from people with a particular medical condition for the purposes of safety and research. Different drug companies that make clozapine have different registries. If you switch from one brand of clozapine to another, your name will be entered into a different registry, and it will make it difficult to monitor your history of clozapine use and your safety. To ensure that this does not happen, new information will be added to the Patient Registration Form. This will help improve the way your health information is collected and shared between registries.
Diabetes: Clozapine may cause an increase in blood sugar levels and glucose tolerance may change. People with diabetes may find it necessary to monitor their blood sugar more frequently while using this medication.
If you have diabetes or are at risk for developing diabetes, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Clozapine may affect the mental or physical abilities needed to drive or operate machinery, particularly during the first few days of taking this medication. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks until you have determined how this medication affects you.
Enlarged prostate: This medication may worsen symptoms of an enlarged prostate, such as reduced urine flow. If you have a prostate condition, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Glaucoma: People with glaucoma (increased pressure in the eyes) may find that this medication makes the symptoms of glaucoma worse. If you have glaucoma, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Heart and lung problems: Clozapine may increase the risk of heart and lung problems. If you have heart disease, you should not use this medication. Get medical attention immediately if you notice chest pain; shortness of breath; fast, irregular, or pounding heartbeat; extreme fatigue; flu-like symptoms; unexplained fever; more noticeable neck veins when standing or sitting; or fainting.
Heart rhythm: Clozapine can cause changes to the normal rhythm of the heart, including an irregular heartbeat called QT prolongation. QT prolongation is a serious, life-threatening condition that can cause fainting, seizures, and sudden death. If you are at risk for heart rhythm problems (e.g., if you have heart failure, angina, or low potassium or magnesium levels), discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Interruption of treatment: If you stop taking clozapine for 2 days or more, do not restart your medication at the same dosage; contact your doctor for dosage instructions.
Kidney function: Kidney disease or reduced kidney function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Liver function: Clozapine is broken down by the liver. Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may want to test your liver function regularly with blood tests while you are taking this medication.
This medication may also cause a decrease in liver function. If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.
Low blood pressure: Extreme lowering of blood pressure when moving from a lying or sitting to a standing position, with or without loss of consciousness, can occur with clozapine, especially at the beginning of therapy when doses are being increased. To reduce the possibility of this being problematic, rise slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.
Movement disorder: People taking clozapine may develop tardive dyskinesia, a disorder of uncontrolled muscle movements, mainly in the face, tongue, mouth, or jaw. The risk increases with longer treatment and is higher in seniors, especially senior women. Tardive dyskinesia is more likely to be irreversible with long-term treatment (over 12 weeks). If you develop signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, including sticking the tongue out, smacking the lips, pursing or puckering of lips, or other involuntary movements, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome: A rare but serious effect called neuroleptic malignant syndrome has been reported with antipsychotic medications such as clozapine. You should monitor for the following symptoms: altered mental status, heart palpitations, high fever, irregular pulse or blood pressure, muscle rigidity (muscle stiffness), and sweating. If you notice these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
Seizures: Clozapine may cause seizures. The dosing prescribed by the doctor should be carefully followed and activities requiring alertness (e.g., driving, operating machinery, swimming, climbing) should be avoided.
Pregnancy: Clozapine should be used only if the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant or intend to become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: This medication may pass into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking clozapine, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and efficacy of this medication for use by children and adolescents below age 18 have not been established.
Seniors: People over the age of 60 years may have an increased risk of developing side effects from this medication. Studies with antipsychotic medications have shown that seniors with dementia taking antipsychotic medications have an increased rate of death. Seniors with dementia should not take clozapine.

How many coupon inserts will we have in the Sunday paper on April 23, 2017?
There should be 2 inserts in the paper this weekend including 1 SmartSource and 1 RedPlum.
You should be able to see a preview of many of the coupons we will get by each Friday at HotCouponWorld.com. We won't get all the same coupons, but we will get many of the same ones.
If you buy the paper at a store on Sunday (instead of getting a subscription delivered to your home), make sure you look inside the paper before you buy it so you can see that the coupons are in there. You will find that sometimes, the papers at the stores and in the paper boxes do not have coupons. Sometimes the newspaper runs out of coupon inserts and because the home delivery papers are the first to get the coupons, the papers that go to the stores do not always have all the coupons.
And if you are looking for somewhere to donate your expired manufacturer coupons, our US troops overseas can use them at many on-base commissaries after they have expired.

The Mathematical Art of Jason Padgett
Quantum Hand Through My Eyes by Jason Padgett, 2006. Image courtesy of Fine Art America.
"I see shapes and angles everywhere in real life — from the geometry of a rainbow, to the fractals in water spiraling down a drain."
Photon Double Slit Test by Jason Padgett, 2006. Image courtesy of Fine Art America.
He also started drawing everything he saw. Doctors later concluded that Padgett developed savant syndrome from the injury. Savant syndrome is a rare but extraordinary condition in which persons that were either born with serious mental disabilities (including autism), or those who suffered a traumatic injury, have access to an "island of genius". This means that those with savant syndrome can read, interpret, remember, and create an enormous amount of data. Padgett sees equations and complex geometry in the world around him, and can draw them effortlessly.
Savant skills typically occur in an intriguingly narrow range of special abilities, mostly: music, art, calendar calculating, or math
The special skills are always accompanied by prodigious memory
Savant skills characteristically continue, rather than disappear, and with continued use, the special abilities either persist at the same level or actually increase
Spiral Scalar by Jason Padgett, 2008. Image courtesy of Fine Art America
In addition to developing savant syndrome, Padgett also developed a type of synesthesia that "allows him to perceive mathematical formulas as geometric figures". (New to my site? You should read my previous posts on synesthesia.) A team of researchers at the University of Miami scanned Padgett's brain to understand how these savant and synesthetic qualities emerged after the accident. Why is this significant? Padgett's case suggests that these amazing abilities lie dormant in every human brain. Understanding how the severe trauma altered his brain could lead the way to furthering human creativity. Padgett developed this new way of seeing and experiencing reality. What if it could be developed without trauma? I'm certain that it can be developed, and look forward to see what science can discover in the near future.
- Sudden Artistic Output: This is an extremely rare neurological condition that affects the brain's breaking system. So what does this mean? It means that the brain can no longer inhibit certain behaviors. In the case of sudden artistic output, people who have this condition has a compulsion to create works of art.
- Puzzles of the Brain: Artist Lonni Sue Anderson contracted encephalitis. She had such an acute case of encephalitis that she had permanent brain damage in the hypocampus. This is the region of the brain that stores memory. Lonni Sue short and long-term memory were affected. She had to relearn how to walk, talk, and eat. She has to relearn how to create art again, with interesting results.

Interactive touchscreen company seeks intuitive user interface designs for its BARS/NIGHTCLUB/RESTAURANTS TOUCH SCREEN application. The interface needs to be designed for a restaurant or bar/nightclub type of establishment. Restaurant chains like Outback, Champps, J. Alexanders, etc. If you look at all three of these websites they all have very different designs. Our goal is to be able to create a template that can be skin-able, and accommodate ALL TYPES of bars, nightclubs, and restaurants by simply switching out the color scheme, background image and touch icons. When designing it think about when you're in a restaurant or bar and what a touch screen application could do to help improve your experience. Like an interactive menu, food and beer pairings, something to entertain and inform you while you're waiting for your seat...things like that.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS FOR A TOUCHSCREEN. TOUCH TOUCH TOUCH ........NOT a website.
The interface needs to be clean, professional and easy to navigate with someones finger. Clean does not mean basic and simple. Many of the designs we have seen in the past are too basic and beginner designer looking. It needs to be exciting to look at and engage with. As well, the design needs to be able to change color schemes and professional style easily. Again, this is not a website, its touch.
Resolution needs to be 1920x1080
Key Elements:
• A MAIN MENU ITEM SCROLLER (refer to sample image) either vertical or horizontal with main menu touch points below
o MAINMENU TOUCHPOINTS - Touch points for scrollbar (These all do not have to fit on one page because it's a scrollbar but we want icons built out for each of the following)
BANNER ADS AND PROMOTIONS (Make up an advertiser and or promotions)
RSS FEE (scrolling text)
• A spot for the AVATAR (an on-screen host who guides the user through the entire experience)
• Place to put Company logo, Company Name and Tagline if they have one.
• A BACKGROUND IMAGE that can be changed out or tinted
• It needs to be skin-able so maybe show the same design with 3 different color scheme
**All artwork must be able to be used commercially**
We would like to see a main screen and one sub page broken out to get how you vision the sub pages will look.

Research and general acceptance
Dean Ornish's Eat More, Weigh Less diet focuses on eating a diet of plant products low in fat, oils, and simple carbohydrates to achieve weight loss and better health without feelings of deprivation and hunger. It also emphasizes stress reduction techniques and light exercise. Dean Ornish, M.D. not only recommends this style of diet for weight loss, but also believes it can prevent and even reverse some forms of heart disease.
Dean Ornish is a professor of clinical medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and a practicing physician. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Texas, Austin, then attended Baylor College of Medicine and Harvard Medical School. He received further medical training at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is the founder and president of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute located in Sausalito, California.
While Dr. Ornish was a medical student he became interested in heart disease. In 1978 he began doing research on patients with coronary artery disease (a common form of heart disease). He created a diet that was very low in fat and completely vegetarian and studied its effects on the symptoms experienced by these patients. The patients also learned a variety of stress reduction techniques. He discovered that for many patients this diet caused a significant lessening of their symptoms. This was the beginning of Dr. Ornish's research on the effects of low fat, low or no-meat diets on weight loss, health, and heart disease. This original diet is the basis for his Eat More, Weigh Less diet, as well as his other related diets.
Over the years, Dr. Ornish has published many different books and articles, and has recommended diets with many different names. All his diets revolve around the same basic principles, with additions or changes in emphasis, based on the goal that the diet is intended to achieve. For example, Dr. Ornish's heart disease prevention diet allows small amounts of lean meat or fish, while his heart disease reversal diet is completely vegetarian.
Dr. Ornish presents his Eat More, Weigh Less diet as more of a spectrum of choices than a set of hard and fast rules. He believes that because people have many different goals, from moderate weight loss to actual heart disease reversal, no one set of dietary rules will fit everyone. He also emphasizes overall lifestyle change, not just through what a person eats but also through stress reduction, moderate exercise, and if applicable, quitting smoking.
The main component of the Dr. Ornish diet is eating more vegetable products and many fewer meat products. For people trying to lose moderate amounts of weight this may mean eating small amounts of lean chicken or fish as well as some skim milk or egg whites. For those with more ambitious goals, the diet may be almost completely vegan (containing no meat or animal products at all).
The diet is also extremely low in fat, with fewer than 10% of calories coming from fat. The strictest forms of the diet do not allow any nuts, seeds, or avocados. The only oil Dr. Ornish allows is a small amount of fish oil.
each day because some research has shown it to be beneficial and may help prevent heart attack.
Foods that are encouraged include nearly all fruit and vegetable products. Especially recommended are leafy greens, soy products, and whole grains. Whole grains contain many vitamins and minerals that are removed when these grains are processed. Whole grains include things such as brown rice, oat bran, and wheat bran. They are broken down by the body more slowly than processed grains, meaning that energy is released more slowly and is available for a longer period of time.
A portion of food made up of processed foods and animal products usually contains many more calories and fat than a similarly sized portion consisting mainly of vegetables, whole grains, fruits, and soy. This means that a person can eat a larger quantity of food while still consuming fewer calories and fat if the foods are chosen correctly. This is the key to the idea that on Dr. Ornish's diet a person may be able to actually eat more and still lose weight. Eating more foods low in caloric density (calories per quantity) means the stomach is fuller and helps prevent feelings of hunger.
Dr. Ornish's diet does not just focus on food. It also makes recommendations for other lifestyle changes. He recommends moderate exercise of 20 to 30 minutes daily of at least a moderate walking pace. Dr. Ornish also suggests making small changes throughout the day to get more exercise, such as parking a few spaces further from the door, or even just walking up or down the stairs instead of taking the elevator. This kind of daily exercise adds up and is recommended over working out strenuously only occasionally.
Stress-reduction techniques are an important part of the total lifestyle plan. Dr. Ornish contends that doing even a few minutes of yoga, deep breathing, or meditation each day can have many positive effects on both the body and mind. Dr. Ornish also highly recommends that individuals quit smoking.
Dr. Ornish's diet can be used for weight loss, or for a variety of other healthy living goals including prevention or possible reversal of heart disease.
Because this diet includes almost only plant products, it is high in substances thought to promote health such as antioxidants and fiber, as well as low in substances that are harmful to the health such as fat and cholesterol. Following the diet's recommendation of light exercise can also be very beneficial. Walking 20 or 30 minutes a day instead of being completely sedentary has significant health benefits and may even reduce the chance of early death by half.
Although Dr. Ornish's diets are effective at causing weight loss and improved overall health, the most researched and discussed benefit of his diet program is the prevention and even reversal of heart disease. Dr. Ornish and colleagues have done extensive research showing that following a very strict, completely vegetarian form of his diet can not only prevent heart disease from occurring or getting more severe, but can actually cause a reversing of artery constriction allowing blood to flow to the heart better. Dr. Ornish also believes his diet may be effective at preventing or reversing other forms of disease such as prostate cancer.
Anyone thinking of beginning a new diet should consult their physician. Requirements of calories, fat, and nutrients can differ significantly from person to person, depending on gender, age, weight, and many other factors such as the presence of any diseases or conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should be especially cautious because deficiencies of vitamins or minerals can have a significant negative impact on a baby.
Dr. Ornish's diet is very low in fat and limits meat and animal product intake to little or none. Many important vitamins and minerals such as zinc and vitamin B12 are acquired from these sources in a normal diet. Without these sources there is a significant possibility of deficiency. Also, because of the very low fat allowance of the diet there is some concern that people on this diet may not get enough vitamin E, which is found mainly in nuts and oil. These are too high in fat to be eaten regularly while on this diet. Dr. Ornish often recommends taking supplements while following his diet, and taking a complete multi-vitamin may help reduce the risk of a deficiency. Multivitamins and supplements however have their own risks, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with medical issues such as renal disease.
Research and general acceptance
The benefits of any diet low in fat that includes many different fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are generally accepted. However, some concern has been expressed about Dr. Ornish's Eat More, Weigh Less diet because of dietary deficiencies that may occur due to the restriction of so many food types. For some people this cause for concern may outweigh the possible benefits.
One benefit of the Dr. Ornish diet that he and other researchers have studied extensively is the possible prevention or reversal of heart disease in some people. Dr. Ornish has led many controlled research studies to test his diet, and published the results in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, the Lancet, and the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In 1990, Dr. Ornish and several coauthors published an article titled "Can Lifestyle Changes Reverse Coronary Heart Disease? The Lifestyle Heart Trial" in the Lancet. This was the first study to investigate whether changes in lifestyle alone, without the use of prescription drugs, could stop the progress of, or even.
reverse, coronary heart disease. The patients selected to participate had severe coronary heart disease and were divided randomly into two groups, those who would follow Dr. Ornish's program, and those who would follow the usual recommendations for such patients, including moderate lifestyle changes and cholesterol-lowering medications, if necessary.
Dr. Ornish's regimen included a diet very low in fat and completely vegetarian. It also emphasized moderate exercise, stress-reduction techniques, and, for those patients who smoked, quitting. The diameter of the coronary artery was measured at the beginning of the study, and again at the end of the study one year later. For patients following the usual recommendations for coronary patients, the average percentage of narrowing was 42.7% at the beginning of the study and increased 3.4% to 46.1% at the end of the study. For patients who followed Dr. Ornish's plan the average percentage of constriction was reduced 2.2% during the period of the study from 40.0% to 37.8%. For the patients with the most constriction the difference was even greater.

Community Transmission - Battle of Geonosis
1049 postsSWBF Dev Team › EA Community Manager
October 25, 2018 3:34PM edited November 2018
With General Grievous arriving last month, it's only fitting that the Jedi with whom he regularly clashed joins the battlefront. Say "Hello there" as Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi joins the roster of heroes in Star Wars™ Battlefront II, ready to face off against General Grievous and others.
We're incredibly excited to be bringing one of the most requested characters to date into Star Wars Battlefront II and we can't wait to see him in action.
Obi-Wan Kenobi will cost 35,000 credits (and will not be available via crystals). He will also come with an additional appearance, "Robed", which will be classified as Epic and cost 40,000 credits or 1,000 Crystals.
The 212th Attack Battalion will be priced at 20,000 credits or 500 Crystals each, and available for Assault, Heavy and Specialist classes for the Galactic Republic. If you're looking to pick up all three appearances, you'll be able to take advantage of a bundle that costs 40,000 credits. This special bundle will be available from within the crate menu.
You can read more about Obi-Wan Kenobi, including his abilities, emotes, victory poses, voice lines and the 212th Attack Battalion by heading to this dedicated Community Transmission.
Galactic Assault gets a new battlefront in the form of the planet Geonosis.
Step onto one of the largest planets we've created for Star Wars Battlefront II and become part of the history of one of the Clone Wars most iconic and important locations.
At the heart of the Geonosis experience is the AT-TE. This six-legged armored walker is fully controllable and plays a vital role on the battlefront. Clone Troopers will want to protect their AT-TE's at all costs, while the Droids will need to do everything they can to stop their advance.
We went into detail on Geonosis in its own Community Transmission, which you will find here.
Alongside the AT-TE, two other vehicles will be arriving on Geonosis. Both the BARC and STAP speeders are fast and agile, allowing for accelerated movement around the battlefront. What they lack in durability they make up for in speed; the perfect set of vehicles for traversing the Geonosis landscape as quick as possible.
Want to know more about the new vehicles coming as part of the Battle for Geonosis update? We've got you covered.
Not to be outshined by Obi-Wan Kenobi, General Grievous will also be receiving a brand-new appearance in this update.
Enduring punishment unimaginable to any organic being, General Grievous pursued the obliteration his enemies whatever the cost. Frequently broken beyond repair, Grievous's cybernetics were easily replaced but his conquests would stand the test of time.
This is a brand-new look for General Grievous, never before seen in Star Wars and we're incredibly excited to seeing it in action on the battlefront.
The Shattered Armor Appearance for General Grievous will be classified as Legendary and cost 80,000 credits or 2,000 crystals.

Seriously? People complained about BP generation and this fix won't change that. OP is not what is giving Officers points. It is Recharge Command and the assist it provides. All they did was nerf their guns to the ground. Even the S5. Prepare for new threads asking for buffs to their weapons soon.May your heart be your guiding key.25

True Dat ..must have the missed the Memo that went around...damage reduction is not going to have that much impact due to the frequent lag caused by EOR in Europe...its now very bad - even Wookie's have to fire 5 shots to kill with the hit detection errors that are prevalent1
455 posts MemberAny hints on when Geonosis will be coming to other modes? My son is going to be bummed it isn't available in Arcarde mode.4
3 posts MemberNovember 26, 2018 3:24PM edited November 2018Fantastic I was getting tired of being killed by the officer 80 times in a row, now when I die I'll know it's just because I'm bad.10
32 posts MemberIn regards to the Officer nerf:
Flash grenade changes
Inspiring Presence
The weapons were fine the way they were and the battle command BP gain was not nerfed; it should have been.
Next patch, revert the weapons back to where they were and reduce BP gain for Battle commands4K 60FPS Gameplay and Stuff!
4162 posts MemberStill no fix to wonky hero abilities that have been going on for a year? Otherwise a good patch.1
November 26, 2018 3:30PM edited November 2018but will it mean less officer spam at least?
also this has happened to me a few times. glad they are taking a look at it:
"Fixed an issue where Grievous would get locked into a spinning and running animation after performing Thrust Surge on a dead enemy"1

Oh man that's weird!
I saw that few days ago. Identification shooting me as she was laying on the ground.
So sad that they've not fixed it yet.3
3580 posts MemberI like the Chewie adjustments, the Grievous fixes and most of the Officer nerf (I don't think the weapons needed a nerf), but I must say i'm disappointed that neither Luke nor Yoda had an HvV buff. Luke's damage output is insanely weak compared to villains like Vader (90 damage push vs 19-something damage choke with Punishing Grip on, plus push sends enemies so far away they can just get up and start shooting you, and 75 damage repulse vs 150/300 damage lightsaber throw, in addition to the fact that repulse leaves you incredibly vulnerable, and has a recharge time three times longer), and Yoda just needs a unleash fix and either a saber block or his pre patch 1.2 dodge back.
Concepts for potential maps:

446 posts MemberAny updates on that annoying camera bug where it'll not move on the initial input and promptly over correct said said movement? It seems to be isolated to Crait and Endor.1
10 posts MemberOMG, this is a very good update. Thaks you for your work4
Please @F8RGE show us images of that Grievous new appearance.4
414 posts MemberBummed about nerf to officer weapons.
Grievous fixes are definitely appreciated
Geonosis looks amazing
Still waiting for other hero fixes..... ahem Luke!
Excited for Obi-Wan
Excited for ATTE
Overall, looks like a positive update to the game!7
7 posts MemberThis is awesome guys, good job on the content and balances! Amazing update! Keep up the good work devs, we love you and the game is slowly being revived, keep that in mind when you work on this game!1
I'm READY! Yes Guys well done. 👍1
4913 posts MemberNice work! Keep it up. There are still more issues that need addressing but y'all are checking them off one by one. Gratitude for these fixes and appreciation for your continuing efforts.5
now we can only hope the fixes hold and dont require another update to fully work. some issues have been "fixed" multiple times. we'll have to wait and see but its encouraging that they aren't being ignored, which means they are possible to fix1
332 posts MemberA delay of 5 seconds for the use of Battle Commands at the start of each match in GA would of been the only thing needed to slow the BP gain of Officers. This nerf to OP will do little to change the bp gain.
The nerfs to the Officers weapons...not sure they were needed, but if you make it so the Officer can't even defend themselves then no one will play the class. We shall see.
After the new HOK cards for Heroes the killstreak records in GA have been going up. Will the nerfing of the Flash Grenade make Heroes even more God-like in GA?4

Yes, I can't play arcade anymore because this problem is so bad. Pleeease fix this! I play on Xbox if that is helpful info. Thanks for all the good work!0

Same. One would think it would be in arcade mode with this update.

wow Blurrg got destroyed - as was to be expected eventually due to is infamy - no more 1 shot head shots even point blank - I stopped using the Blurrg at all after the last nerf - honestly it was already middle of the pack and not much fun, now it's just garbage - good job
135 posts MemberAny hints on when Geonosis will be coming to other modes? My son is going to be bummed it isn't available in Arcarde mode.
thinking the same.. also wish one could play the walkers and fly the ships in arcade level along side the ground fighting. Plus also that the arcade are bigger than they are now. I do not mind getting lost on a level because gives the chance of exploring and enjoying the scenery.3
grievous fixes "sound" good - now the unrelenting advance star card that adds 40 damage has some merit0
252 posts MemberOverall, very good to see. Slightly worried that Grievous will be OP. But should make it easier to complete his milestone challenges.3

231 posts MemberSo, the AT-TE wasnt releases yet and its already bugged3
9 posts MemberThe blurg got smashed but other than that the officer is still super op. The 44c still has the same time to kill and you still get inspiring presence points. #officerfront2 is still here0
1 posts MemberI'm actually impressed by these changes! If everything goes well without creating other annoying bugs, I think this might be some of my favourite patches so far! May the force be with us on this one!2
287 posts MemberNovember 26, 2018 4:58PM edited November 2018I'm glad they really didn't nerf the Officer like crazy. The things they nerfed has no effect on the game. As said in Bugfront II, choose as an officer, officer, officer, officer.
According to my calculations, Kenobi, the 212th and the Grievous skin will cost 195,000 credits. I'll still have 1,500,000 left for Anakin Skywalker, Count Dooku, battle-damaged Vader appearance, Ahsoka Tano, her skins, Padme Amidala and her appearances with enough for the Scarif content.1

- Reduced speeders collision damage to prevent road kills at low speed
YES! THANK GOD!Wow.
Still no fixing to Luke's force push and repluse?
Still no Fix to Kylo's pull and freeze?
Still no fix to Vader's Chocke?
Still no fix to Yoda's force push?
Come on...
I know right?
November 26, 2018 5:06PM edited November 2018Most recent note of errors for me is in GA during the use in at-st the grenade launcher after a while nothing happens when you hit fire, it reloads and nothing then it relaods and it fires correct then reloads and nothing is this a known Bug? Nothing major and yes keep up the good work team!!! May the force be with you all.3
6 posts MemberReally impressed with these notes. Officer nerf, Chewie nerf, Luke gets his 1st swing hit registration back, speeders deal less damage when running into you (RIP Starkiiler base speeder users 😂) and no major known issues for them to work on a hotfix.
1 posts MemberThe nerf of the officer weapons is completely not needed. They were fine. Officers still are going to be able to rack up plenty of battle points through Star Cards and abilities. This update is not going to fix the true problem, it's just going to try and discourage players from playing as the officer class because they have weak weapons.5

81 posts MemberAs someone that mostly plays the officer class:
Officer Nerf
Flashbang nerf -> makes sense
Inspiring Presence nerf -> makes sense
Gun nerf -> What the crap!? This was definitely not needed. The officer guns were fine they way the were, there distance power had already been nerfed big time a few months back. This was a stupid change.
I think the subtext here is that they have no idea how to fix the force power bugs, like with Luke. General Greebus fixes sound good, and hopefully none of these fixes break anything else. Maybe Kenobi will cause Luke's 2nd swing to take no damage?
Thanks for the new stuff.

Daniel Simons has become one of the most influential young cognitive scientists in the last decade, co-authoring smash-hit studies in two different fields. He's probably best-known for the Gorillas in our Midst study, co-authored with Christopher Chabris, where viewers are shown a 45-second video of six students tossing around basketballs. Viewers are instructed to carefully count only the passes between players dressed in white. What they aren't told is that halfway through the video, a woman dressed in a gorilla suit will walk into the middle of the screen, beat her chest, and walk off. Amazingly, when viewers don't know about the gorilla in advance, about half of them miss it completely.
Far from being merely an amusing demonstration, the study has important implications, which Simons and Chabris explore in a forthcoming book, The Invisible Gorilla, and on their blog with the same name. I talked with Simons at the Vision Sciences Society meeting in Naples, Florida, as he prepared to introduce a new version of the gorilla study for the annual Best Illusion of the Year contest, held in conjunction with the meeting. You can watch the demonstration, which ranked in top ten illusions of the year, here.
Munger: You've now studied inattentional blindness for over 10 years. Can you just tell us a little bit about the origins of the field and your contributions to it?
Simons: The original inattentional blindness work dates back to the mid 1970s with Ulric Neisser. My work on it started in 1998. Neisser came back to Cornell during my final year of graduate school, and I got to talk to him a lot—it was inspirational. The way he did his original studies was to physically superimpose separate films of the activities competing for attention. He filmed three players wearing white shirts passing balls. He filmed three players wearing black shirts passing balls. He filmed a woman with an open umbrella walking through a scene, all separately. Then he superimposed them using mirrors, then filmed the mirrors. The films of the stimuli all have this transparent, ghostly appearance.
When we talked to people about these studies—they all were familiar with them—they often would say, "well, I just think there's something weird about the displays." That's the most regularly recurring critique.
Munger: I have to say, I've looked at those displays, and they do look weird. [Here's an example]
Simons: I think that gave people an easy rationalization for why they might miss something right in the center of a scene. People said, "well, yeah, I missed it, but it looks weird, and if it looked natural, you wouldn't miss it." So, when I was teaching an undergraduate lab class at Harvard, we redid the study as a class project. We replicated the originals using better displays, with digital editing. We also decided to try filming the entire thing in a single shot, so nobody could make the excuse if they missed it that they couldn't see it.
We thought, "we've got to try this," but we didn't think it was going to work. But then, it did. It was dramatic, and it was so counter-intuitive, that for the first five years I would show people that video, every single time I'd hold my breath, thinking "of course everybody's going to see it this time." Because it's hard to imagine that you couldn't see it.
Munger: I remember, actually, when I saw you give a talk at APS (The Association for Psychological Science) only maybe 2 or 3 years ago. You gave that demo, and you were surprised because you said it was the first time that nobody in the audience had been fooled by it.
Simons: Yeah, that's happened only a couple of times. That was after years of having presented it. It was a psychology conference, it was an invited talk, where everyone pretty much knew what I was up to. If I'm invited to give a talk, presumably the people who are inviting me know what I do, so it's hard to find audiences that are completely naive to what's coming.
Munger: And of course now, it's been in TV commercials, and on YouTube…
Simons: Yeah, it's been copied a number of times.
Munger: So what are some real-world applications of this research?
Simons: I think there are a lot. In inattentional blindness you're not seeing something that's right there because your attention is engaged. The most obvious practical application of that is driving. We intuitively think that if something important happens right in front of us, we will see it.
Munger: Like a gorilla.
Simons: Like a gorilla, that's right. Dan Levin has done studies where he just asked people, would you notice if something like this happens? He shows people the video, gives them the instructions, points out the gorilla, and then asks them "how likely would you be to notice the gorilla if you were doing this task and counting the passes?" Ninety percent of people say they'd notice. Regardless of how you ask that question, you get high confidence, and a high percentage saying "yeah, of course I'd notice that."
That's the intuition that's interesting, and that's the one that's dangerous. If we were completely aware of these limits on attention, we wouldn't do things like talking on cell phone while driving: We would know that it would make us just that much less likely to notice something. But we don't have that insight into our own awareness. It's only in that rare case where you actually have an accident that you become aware that you've missed something.
There's a whole class of accidents called "looked but failed to see" accidents. Motorcyclists will swear that they've made eye contact with a driver right before the driver turned left in front of them. Some motorcyclists assume that drivers are out to get them. But the reality is that the driver probably never saw them, because the motorcycle is unexpected. When you're looking for cars, motorcycles are rare; they're not what you're looking for, even when they're distinctive.

In college circles, Colorado is "State of Hockey"
Air Force coach Frank Serratore reminded me of something that has occurred for the second time in four years. In addition to getting all three Colorado teams in the NCAA Tournament, Colorado has the most of any state. This two-prong success story also happened in 2008.
"More teams from state of Colorado than the three Ms — Minnesota, Michigan and Massachusetts," Serratore said today. "Isn't that something?"
Minnesota had just one school, Minnesota-Duluth, make the 16-team field. Michigan has two — Michigan and Western Michigan, and Massachusetts (after realizing Merrimack is in North Andover) has two — Merrimack and Boston College. New York also has two — Rensselaer and Union.
So kudos to Serratore, DU coach George Gwozdecky and CC bench boss Scotty Owens. Combined, you are more powerful than the proposed Big Ten hockey conference, which, ahem, has just one of its five teams still playing.

Your days are short here; this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old, good friends. And don't forget when you leave why you came. Adlai E. Stevenson
I am not going to say much about the shootings today except that it's sad and breaks my heart. There is never a good explanation for why these things happen and people will be analyzing it for weeks. That's what we do. In the light of tragedy we try to understand human failings and frailties. Will we ever understand? No. Do you know why? Because we are not the person who was holding the gun and pulling the trigger. It is the ultimate enigma. Does it beg the question of the omnipotence of a God if a God could allow this to happen? I'm not sure. I do know that it's another sad tragedy in our world. It isn't only happening here, today there was a similar attack in Beijing, China, except that the attacker used a knife instead of a gun and it was at a primary school. 22 children and 1 adult were wounded. This problem is not exclusive to the US. What can we do about it? I wish someone had an answer. At the end of the day, if a person decides to do something like this they are going to do it, whether by gun, knife, bomb or other method and sadly there really isn't much that can be done to stop someone like this, that has gone that far off the edge. That is the sad destructive truth behind people that have this evil inside of them.

Searching for a job is a challenging process, and it can sometimes be a lengthy one. It involves drawing on skills you've developed in the classroom: research, planning, writing, interviewing, problem-solving and self-advocacy. To be successful in your job search requires an investment of time and energy.
Researching a company is useful to help you gain an idea of the career potential that exists within an organization, to help locate employers that you were unaware of in your targeted field, and prepare you for an interview with an employer.
The following is information that you should obtain on the company that you are researching:
This is an excellent resource for you to reach organizations that are actively recruiting college graduates. Take time to review carefully the advertisements that these recruiters have placed. These advertisements will typically include open positions and contact information. You can then contact the organization if you desire additional information.
The business section of most newspapers contains numerous articles about local companies and their executives. The public library is a good place to find current newspapers and indexes of newspapers.
There are a various places on the internet that contain employer information. Try some of the following sites to research different companies. Some of these sites even give you the option of posting your resume online.
These resources may provide information about an organization's products, services, number of employees, principal executives, history, etc. You should be able to locate the directories listed below in the reference section of a public library.
These organizations produce membership directories, journals and information briefs. Find associations that match your career interest, and then write to ask for their membership list, any printed materials they offer, if they publish job listings or have a resume referral service and if they have student memberships. Remember, almost every type of field or industry that exists has a trade association affiliation.
