As predicted, there were some things to add to the plan I intended to follow, but again – having guidelines was very helpful.
Since my last update, I got the organisms to move randomly and reproduce.
This was actually a bit harder than expected: I thought I could just add a method that would instantiate a new game object when there's a collision between two well-fed organisms. But when I tested my code, it made Unity freeze. The problem was, even though I thought the method would only be called once because I called it in OnCollisionEnter(), it was called every frame that two organisms were touching, for every organism that popped up in the same place. As you can imagine, Unity didn't feel like instantiating that much game objects at the same time.
I therefore added a timer and the problem was solved. However, I had two children pop up each time well-fed organisms touched, because each one called the reproduction method. I came up with a nice solution after I spent some time trying to avoid this in a complicated and inefficient way: I gave each circle an ID, and the reproduction method was called only if the ID of the current circle was lower than the ID of the one he collided with. That way, I could make sure only one of them would ask for reproduction and only one baby would pop up.
Random movements
To get the circles to move randomly, I put on each one of them a script that chooses a random destination and gets the game object to go straight to it. When one destination is reached, another one is chosen, over and over again. I didn't write some fancy path-finding code that would take into account other circles, I opted for the straight line and I'm happy with the results – the organisms are supposed to be like protozoans, who don't think and therefore don't care if they run into each other.
Here's a video of the result:
The circles that you see moving quickly are those I control with my finger.
If you didn't notice, when the game's over there's a message saying to "tap to replay" – that's why in the video the game restarts a few times (and sometimes very quickly).
Next steps: adding a menu and UI and counting points! I'll give you an update after I've finished those things.
Stay tuned,
A girl in tech.

Serves: Makes 8 to 10 biscuits
Prep: 20 – 30 min
Main Ingredient: Whole Wheat
● 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (See Ann's Tips)
● 2 teaspoons baking powder
● 3 tablespoons cane sugar
● ½ teaspoon sea salt
● 6 tablespoons (3-ounces) very cold butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
● 1 cup chopped ripe strawberries
● ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt*
● 2 tablespoons milk
2. In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together. Add the butter, and using your fingertips or a pastry blender rub or cut the butter into the flour, until the dough resembles a crumbly meal, with some pea-sized pieces of butter.
3. Add the strawberries and gently toss to coat the strawberries in flour. With a spatula, stir in the yogurt and milk, until mostly absorbed. Knead one or two times to form a dough.
4. Transfer to a light floured surface and form into disc about 2-inches thick. Cut into 8 to 10 pieces. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the strawberries have broken down and become juicy. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Once cooled, store in an airtight container or freeze.

I've been involved with computers for over thirty years. I've always been fascinated most by the hardware, so I became involved in building computers pretty early on. The first machine I built was a 80386 in around 1988 and I've been building them ever pretty much ever since. From 1992 up until 2010 I ran a small company called Redline Systems that built gaming systems. I've also been heavily into overclocking since around 1999. I've had a great deal of overclocking experience with both Intel and AMD machines using high end air cooling, DIY water cooling and phase change cooling using a Vapochill LS. I've also been also quite active in the competitive overclocking scene for many years. Although Intel CPU's are generally more powerful, for the last few years I've been clocking primarily AMD hardware as there is a lot of challenge there. I've also been gaming on computersfor many, many years and keep up on that scene too as all that hardware begs for something to do with it.

As a gamer who has been playing Japanese role-playing games since they've been a thing, the first hurdle to overcome in Cube Roots' Dungeon Hearts was getting used to having my party on the left side of the screen. That's not where four heroes are supposed to assemble.
Then again, four heroes are generally controlled by blue menus with white text, not a series of runes rushing towards them via the Fatestream. Pressing a single button normally gets the job done, but here the heroes have to join free-moving colored runes in groups of three to generate attack runes, detonating them with a finger-press to disrupt enemy attacks and dole out damage. There's an endless stream of power and pain heading our champions' way, and only the quick-witted and nimble-fingered will have time to craft complex detonation combinations.
And while normal role-playing games give the player a breather between battles as they watch a series of statistics improve, here even leveling up is a challenge, each of the game's four characters gaining experience levels and unlocking new skills through the power of the puzzle.
Traditionally I've really enjoyed games that combined puzzle mechanics with role-playing, but that's because I find titles like Puzzle Quest relaxing. Dungeon Hunter is not a relaxing game. It's an endless journey down a raging river of anxiety. Speed and precision is of the essence here, and with no visible health bars on the enemies you fight, all you can do is hope you're killing it, raise your character levels, and survive as long as possible.
It's a tension I enjoy in short bursts. I'd probably enjoy it more if there were stronger motivation than unlocking additional soundtracks (though the music is quite lovely) and filling up a lore-expanding bestiary. I appreciate randomly-generated adventures, but with no persistent character progression I feel like I'm just going through the motions every time I play.
"Four spirits race across the land, burdened with tragedy. Within each lies the specter of guilt and fear, which The Dark One bends to his will to enact his resurrection. They realize the deception too late as the promise of salvation turns to betrayal. A black wind washes over the planes, turning all to ash. As the fallen heroes face the engulfing void, a spark of hope clings to life. When the demon peered into their hearts to learn their secrets, so too did they learn his..."
Isn't that compelling? That story snippet from the iTunes description captures the current state of Dungeon Hearts quite well — a promising start, now let's see some more.

Rookie free-agent running back Clifton Smith spent the first seven weeks of his pro football career in relative anonymity on the Bucs' practice squad.
But with the return game struggling for weeks because of second-round draft pick Dexter Jackson's ineffectiveness, the Bucs promoted Smith on Saturday and left Jackson inactive.
Sunday, in his first pro action, Smith had a promising performance, though it was marred by his fumble on the second-half kickoff. He had five punt returns for 82 yards - his 20-yarder was the team's longest this season - and three kickoff returns for 62 yards.
You had some real highs and lows today. Does that make it hard to judge your performance?
It was really a roller-coaster for me today. I felt in the first half that I was really playing well, getting us good field position. Then I came out in that second half, and that fumble really put a damper on the parade.
Do you think you'll be given opportunities despite the fumble?
I hope so. I personally look at every return like I only have one chance. Hopefully, I impressed some people today.
When you finally got a chance to play, it came in Texas Stadium on national TV. Will you treasure this experience?
Definitely. It was a great experience. But I'm a sore loser. I don't like losing whatsoever. So that really puts a damper on everything. But overall, it was a great experience to come and play in Texas Stadium. It's every kid's dream. I'm just living my dream and loving it.

Option to purchase
The purchase of real estate can usually be regarded as a joint venture between an equity investor and a lending institution. Very few occasions arise where properties are bought for all cash. In most real estate transactions a lender provides a part of the financing, and the property is held as security for the debt. There are two instruments involved when a real estate transaction involves both debt and equity - the note and the mortgage.

An investor who has sold stock short in anticipation of a price decline can limit a possible loss by purchasing call options. Remember that shorting stock requires a margin account and margin calls may force you to liquidate your position prematurely. Although a call option may be used to offset a short stock position's upside risk, it does not protect the option holder against additional margin calls or premature liquidation of the short stock position.

To avoid headaches and tap into a wider pool of prospective tenants, many landlords consider the lease-purchase of their home. This option attracts many potential buyers who could handle the monthly mortgage payments but can't afford the required down payment. Here's how it works: You lease your house to the tenant for a specific monthly rent. In addition, the tenant pays you for the right to purchase the home within the option period, usually six months to two years later. This payment is called the option consideration. The option consideration payment is usually made up of two parts.

Lansbury: A Figure of the Past
With the death of George Lansbury there has gone from the Labour Movement a figure of unusual character. There has passed out a type that will have no place in the future history of the Labour Party. The times that found a place for him have passed away. The necessities of the movement in which he was an impressive personality demand men of a different mould. The world in which we live has driven and will continue to drive that "movement" to place its leadership in the hands of men more able and of opportunistic Inclinations.
Lansbury's life and work measures to some extent the progress and the place of the Labour Party in the history of the working class. He began his political career before the Labour Party was formed. As a youth, in the early 'eighties he was associated with the radical reform section of the Liberal Party. It was in this period that Lansbury announced his conversion to " Socialism." It is said that the conversion took place when, canvassing an East London constituency as a Liberal agent, a door was opened in response to his knocks by a woman whose only clothing was improvised from old sacks. It must be said, however, that this story circulated among those wags of East End workers who were mildly derisive of "Lansburyism." His early career was devoted to local political activities. The Social Democrat (1900), in a biographical sketch, describes Lansbury fiercely contesting a Guardians election on a programme which included the abolition of skilly in the workhouse and the provision of shirts and drawers for the inmates. Lansbury's "conversion" led him to the S.D.F. In 1894 he fought an election under their auspices and polled 207 votes: a somewhat ironic commentary on the "Marxist" character of the S.D.F. of the time. Lansbury has been described as a Socialist in the St. Simon tradition. This cannot be substantiated. The St. Simonites produced operative schemes. Lansbury affected a breezy disregard for plans and the details of policy. His last book, "The Way to Peace," contains a phrase which was the keynote of his approach to all questions. He appeals to all who could adopt "broad principles of action and leave the general plan and details" to look after themselves. It was characteristic of Lansbury and led him to association with all sorts of hole-and-corner reformers and movements with a mission. To Lansbury it was sufficient to possess the urge and the fervour to put the world right.
Lansbury's "principles of action" were so broad that his activities gained support from the most diverse quarters. He was one of those few Labour leaders whom those masters of scurrilous invective, the official Communists, refrained from attacking. He was "dear Mr. Lansbury" to thousands in the drawing rooms of the minor gentry. He was a lay preacher in the Church of England, and though of the High Church persuasion he was unique in that his broad principles straddled the gaps between the High, Low, and the Broad sections of the English Church, just as they managed to straddle the apparent extremes in the politics of the Labour Movement. Each section could claim Lansbury for its own. In his books, on the platform, in the pulpit, Lansbury preached a mixture of Christian Humanism and politics that could not be identified as anything particular. It was "Lansburyism." Gossip (possibly originating among the sardonic unbelievers) had it that Lansbury, in his earlier days as a public figure, was a member of the free-thinking National Secular Society! The story may be false. But it could quite conceivably be true. What could there be in the "broad principles" of Lansburyism that could not approve the ethical principles and the human object of the N.S.S.? If Lansbury swallowed the S.D.P. without qualm or consciousness of inconsistency, then the N.S.S. pill needed no sugar. It would be pointless to argue Lansbury's sincerity. Where the capacity for self- delusion is so complete and rides unchecked there can be no test for sincerity. It is meaningless. It says something, perhaps, for the character of the man that he could address a hard-bitten audience of workers on strike in the soul-saving language of the Salvationist without embarrassment to himself or to his audience.
By all reasonable standards George Lansbury should have been shocked by the militant atheism and the methods of the Bolshevist regime. He was not shocked. He visited Russia and talked with Lenin, saw the baby creches, and came back and wrote an eulogy of Russia. He only saw what he wanted to see. According to the "broad principles" and contempt for "details" which constituted Lansburyism sufficient was it that the will to change things existed. Of the historic significance of the Russian movement it would be flattering to Lansbury to assume that he understood anything about it.
His services to the Labour Party were among that Party's assets in the formative period of the movement. The needs of the early Labour Party demanded missionary zeal and ability, not the qualities of the administrator. Lansbury fulfilled the need and without doubt made many thousands of sympathisers for the Labour Party in the days when (curious thought) it had to make efforts to break down the opposition from the prejudiced and the respectable. His zeal for causes brought a great deal of advertisement to himself and to the Labour Party. In the earlier days this was not unwelcome, to the latter, though in later years it brought a priggish rebuke for "Poplarism" from the pompous MacDonald. In 1912 he resigned his parliamentary seat in the Bow and Bromley division of Poplar and refought it on the Suffragette issue. He lost it. Despite his temperament he was not without shrewdness. On private support he managed to run the Daily Herald independently of the official Labour Party until it was taken over by Odhams and the T.U.C. Against it in pre-1914 years the official organ of the Labour Party, the Citizen, failed to survive. In 1932, by accident, because almost all the leaders of the Labour Party had lost their seats in the landslide against them in the election of 1931, he became the Party's parliamentary leader. His reign was short. Political and international developments were driving the Labour Party into support for war and into conflict with Lansbury's pacifism. After a brutal speech by Bevin accusing him of "hawking his conscience from conference to conference," Lansbury lost the leadership. He was finished. And out went another leader. Another cruel lesson was driven home to him and to thousands who accepted his standards—the lesson that events mould men and movements despite their will.
The Labour Party will have little need or scope for future Lansburys. It will need men of a different calibre to attempt to prevent the disintegration which the future holds for it.
If Lansbury's life teaches anything it teaches the futility of the reformism which was not only his but was the essential doctrine of the Labour Party. After half a century of fervent reformist zeal he left the world with a working class facing all the old problems existing more intense and numerous than ever.
Labourism and reformism, of which Lansbury was the embodiment, will be as ineffectual in facing those problems in the future as Lansbury's peace talks with Hitler were in preventing the war.

- "The Influence of Genetics on Philosophy of Science: Classical Genetics and the Structuralist View of Theories", en Fagot-Largeault, A., Torres, J.M. y S. Rahman (eds.), The Influence of Genetics on Contemporary Thinking, Dordrecht: Springer, 2007, pp. 99-115.
Taking as starting point the first textbook of classical genetics that clearly exemplifies all the features that Kuhn takes to be constitutive of a science textbook, Sinnott and Dunn's (1925), as well as Darden's (1991) and Schaffner's (1980, 1986, 1993) analyses of the structure of biomedical and/or biological theories, I will discuss the problem of the existence of laws in biology. The framework of this discussion is provided by the structuralist conception of theories. The result of this analysis will be the identification of the fundamental law of classical genetics: the law of matching, which satisfies all weak necessary conditions for law-likeness that are postulated by the structuralist approach of theories, and the recognition of the so-called 'Mendel's Laws' as special laws of classical genetics. This shows that the structuralist view is capable of providing an interesting perspective on genetics, which, in turn, has a positive effect on philosophy of science, because it shows we have a framework at hand in which important philosophical problems can fruitfully be addressed.

Hi! I installed Snow Leopard successfully and I got to the setup mac os x screen. But when I make an user account it comes up with a kernel panic and freezes. At this point I don't know what to do as I don't know what kernel panic error it is. I hope to get it fixed and get onto the Snow Leopard desktop... Thanks!

Over the past few months we have looked at some of the ways in which archetypes are the default language of the Unconscious, 95% of the mind. Now we have explored the four survival archetypes that everyone shares – Child, Victim, Saboteur and Prostitute, it is time to explore some of the other possibilities.
Carolyn Myss proposes that, along with the four shared archetypes, we all primarily work through another eight, making twelve in all. Unlike the four survival archetypes, however, these eight are different for each of us. This fascinating journey takes us into a deeper understanding of our behaviour, freeing us to choose how we behave, so that we can respond rather than react. If something pushes our buttons and makes us really angry, for instance, we don't have to lash out and then regret it afterwards. We can choose to walk away if that is a more appropriate response.
Once we understand our own archetypes, we can also begin to recognise the archetypes that those around us are working through and this can really benefit the relationships we have with others. Some archetypes are easy to spot like the Environmentalist, the Artist or the Priest but bear in mind that some adults never move beyond Child, Victim, Saboteur and Prostitute, staying stuck in them all of their lives. It is also important to be aware that elderly people may revert back to the primary four in, as Shakespeare put it, the second childhood of life. As for children, growing up is partly about moving away from the four survival archetypes into the next eight. But whatever the age of our loved ones, friends and colleagues, the rule is the same. When someone, including ourselves, is in archetypal behaviour, never take that behaviour personally or accept a decision that is made in it because archetypal behaviour comes from the Unconscious, not the Conscious mind.
So how do we go about searching this vast soup of unconscious patterns to determine the specific archetypes that we work through? Over the next few months, we are going to look at some possibilities by grouping them into families: the Family, the Power Family, the Relationship Family, the Justice Family, the Creative Family, the Wisdom Family and the Spirituality Family. This will give us a clearer idea of our possible further eight archetypes and enable us to navigate our own behaviour with more choice and relate more authentically with others. Such knowledge will also help us to choose a profession that suits us. For example, a Lawyer needs to be working through the Judge archetype if they are to be successful, just as a novelist needs to work through the Storyteller and a lecturer the Teacher.
To prepare yourself for this exciting journey, continue observing your behaviour over the next month. By now you may have an idea of when you go into Child, Victim, Saboteur or Prostitute, even if you don't catch yourself until afterwards, but now also watch for other patterns. For example: What can you not help doing? How do you spend your leisure time? What kind of people do you choose to be with? What kind of behaviour do you keep on repeating? How do you operate in the world?
If you want a deeper understanding that these newsletters can give you, or you can't wait for the next instalments, then I run workshops on archetypes as well as private sessions in person or on Skype and would be delighted to help you discover what you were born to do and who you were born to be. Phone me on 07964 161527 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
In the meantime, enjoy observing yourself and others, and have a happy September!
Love Laurelle

from a contributor:
"I just learned to surf recently (in Santa Cruz), but I think I am correct in saying that Costa Azul, for those who can make their way there, is unbelievable. I went in July and the water was bathwater warm, the sea was deep blue, the water was clean, the beach was pure white, there were only a handful of surfers sharing more than enough waves. AND THE WAVES were unbelievable. 5+ feet, consistent, powerful. The bottom was a little scary during low tide. I can barely surf and I was catching huge waves by accident (honestly caught one while paddling OUT). And the rides are LONG, all the way into the shore from way, way out. Later in the day conditions pick up and the waves get bigger (6-8ft), coming in sets of 3-5, making it really hard to paddle out, so I sat on the beach while my boyfriend and his buddy got pummeled. I know this sounds like a stupid chick review because I really don't know that much about surfing, but I do know that Costa Azul is a great place, and even if I'm wrong about surfing, where else can you buy beer for 50 cents and drink it while you are driving down the most amazing stretch of coastline?"

- The drive down has to be planned so you are off the road by nightfall. Travel lean and low profile.Have anything of value(boards)hidden and inside with you.Bring too much water and fill the jerry can. Lacking those things will kill you quicker than los ladrones.

Is Alcohol Spoiling Your Romance?
When I first talk to people about couples therapy, I usually ask: "Do you drink alcohol? Does your partner?" and if so, "How much?" I also ask whether they use other mind-altering drugs and intoxicants. Please understand — I'm not opposed to having a good time. Some people can drink in moderation without ill effects. But I want to know whether drinking or drugs may be spoiling your romance. With alcohol especially people may not make the connection between drinking and relationship problems. They may not be ready to let go of a partying lifestyle. Or they may prefer to deny problems with alcohol rather than feel shame or guilt about some of the terrible problems they're having.
Here are some of the situations you typically see where people are having alcohol problems in their relationship:
"We just got home from a party. We had a few drinks and a great time. Now we're bickering again over nothing!"
"I know we've got problems, but it's hard to cut back because all of our friends drink."
"We went out for a romantic dinner and shared a bottle of wine. We were relaxed and felt close. Then we went to a club and had a few more. Now she's losing control again and flirting with a stranger. Why does this keep happening? Does she really love me?"
"Things were great before we had kids. But I'm worried. We've had some bad fights. And I can't seem to reach him anymore. Every night he drinks a few beers and just sits in front of the TV."
How Do You Know if Alcohol Is the Problem?
Maybe you don't know, because blaming only alcohol may be too simplistic. You may be surprised to read this, but usually relationship problems have several contributing causes. Many relationship issues can become much worse "under the influence" of alcohol. And alcohol affects relationships in several ways:
- as a drug;
- as cultural ritual; and
- psychologically.
Alcohol's Drug Effects
In my practice, I'm perplexed at how often people with obvious drinking problems push back when I suggest they may be self-medicating and might consider a psychiatric medication instead. If I suggest an antidepressant, for instance, they say they're very uncomfortable with the idea of taking a drug! Alcohol is a drug, of course. By definition, a psychoactive drug chemically changes perception, thinking, and emotionality.
Alcohol also has more unwanted side effects that many prescription medications. Although its chemical effects include calming nervousness, when it starts to wear off, people get more anxious. This and its dehydrating side effect may cause insomnia or make it worse, and make it harder to sustain sleep. Sufficient doses of alcohol also prevent the dreaming sleep that helps us process emotions at night. Even "happy drunks" who drink often find that over time they become more depressed. And although very moderate drinking can have positive health effects, heavy drinking gradually breaks down body and mind.

Lately I've been thinking about the best way for those of us who have diabetes to get the exercise we need to stay in shape and to help us manage our diabetes better. But until now I only had my own opinion.
The best exercise, I had decided on the basis of my experience, was to get the exercise we like, because that's the only exercise that you or I will keep on doing. That's true, but frankly I didn't have much more to say about it. Now I do, because a new study shows for a fact that this is what works.
This morning Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab announced some exciting new research. It had appeared in the May issue of a journal that I wouldn't otherwise have read, Marketing Letters: A Journal of Research in Marketing.
One of the authors is Dr. Brian Wansink at Cornell where he is a professor of marketing and director of the university's Food and Brand Lab. I have been following his work and reviewing much of it here even before he published his best-selling book Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think eight years ago.
The new research report is "Is it fun or exercise? The framing of physical activity biases subsequent snacking" by Carolina O. C. Werle of Grenoble Ecole de Management in France, Dr. Wansink, and Collin R. Payne of New Mexico State University. The full-text is free online here.
The word in the title, "framing," might need a little explanation. We can consider the frame of an activity as the context in which we think about it.
The frame we're talking about here is whether we think of what we are doing as being either fun or exercise. This research report summarizes three studies, two of them field experiments and one an observational field study of what people do after getting physical activity. It turns out they when they think, for example, that they were on a scenic walk instead of an exercise walk they compensated afterwards with less food.
A lot less.
In one experiment, 56 adults completed their walk and got lunch. Those who believed they had been on an exercise walk served themselves and ate 35 percent more chocolate pudding for dessert than those who believed they had been on a scenic walk.
In the other experiment, 46 adults were given mid-afternoon snacks after their walk. Those thinking that they taken an exercise walk ate 206 more calories of M&Ms, which was over twice as much — 124 percent more — than those who had been told they were on a scenic walk. "Viewing their walk as exercise led them to be less happy and more fatigued," says lead author Carolina Werle.
In the observational field study, the researchers offered relatively healthy and relatively unhealthy snacks to 231 runners after they finished a real race. The runners who said they had more fun during the race were more inclined to choose the relatively healthy snack than those who had said they had less fun.
Together, these studies point to one reason why people in exercise programs often find themselves gaining weight. Like the participants in the study, we generally reward ourselves by overeating after a workout. We think we deserve it for all that we put ourselves through.
The researchers found that if you think of your next workout as a "fun run" or as a well-deserved break, you'll eat less afterward. However, if you think of it as exercise, you'll later eat more dessert and snacks to reward yourself.
"Do whatever you can to make your workout fun," Dr. Wansink says. "Play music, watch a video, or simply be grateful that you're working out instead of working in the office."
In a short YouTube video he suggests that you call it a break — or call it anything — "but just don't call it exercise."
So what's the best exercise for you and me? It's the physical activity that we tell yourselves we enjoy the most.
