While overt racism has dwindled in the 50 years since the Civil Rights Act, a panel discussion Monday at the University of Hartford discussed the ways inequality and subtle bias persists throughout society.
WEST HARTFORD — While overt racism has dwindled in the 50 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, a panel Monday at the University of Hartford said, inequality and subtle bias persist.
"We're looking at mind science, we're looking at unconscious motivations, we're looking at stereotypes" of "criminality, aggression, laziness" leveled against black people, said panelist Eva Paterson, civil rights lawyer and founder of Equal Justice Society.
The panel, moderated by Jerry Franklin, president and CEO of Connecticut Public Broadcasting, included Paterson, Robert Moses, a civil rights leader and founder of The Algebra Project; Oz Griebel, president and CEO of MetroHartford Alliance; and Marissa Lawrence, a student at the University of Hartford and copresident of Women for Change.
The discussion capped a weeklong celebration of the Civil Rights Act, which was enacted in 1964 and outlawed racial and sex discrimination. But especially in the wake of the police shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., the panelists agreed that much is left to be done.
"It breaks your heart every time it happens," Paterson said. Every time an unarmed black individual is killed, "We have the feeling of rage and then just sadness."
Ferguson, "is a manifestation of this era that we're in," Moses said. "Young black men, and there are probably a lot of young white men, too, are not needed, and so we are rounding them up and putting them into jail. We are not educating them."
Moses, who was a leader of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, including the Freedom Summer project for voter registration in the Mississippi Delta, described his ongoing fight to provide access to education for all children.
While early civil rights leaders, "got Jim Crow out of public accomodations, out of the right to vote, and out of the national democrative party structure, we did not get it out of education," Moses said.
He said black children are still disproportionately underprepared for college courses, and Paterson said her work has uncovered ways in which minority children are disproportionately criminalized in schools.
In Bakersfield, Calif., for example, Paterson said, black children have a 589 percent higher chance of being suspended than their white peers, and that percentage is 300 for Latino students.
"People talk about the school-to-prison pipeline, this is how it gets going," Paterson said. "We've got to stop thinking of our black and brown kids as future criminals."
Paterson said that as a lawyer, she's using the constitution to bring legal action on behalf of black and Latino students in Bakersfield, and "we're trying to really empower the community and listen to what the community needs."
Griebel said that the Civil Rights Act spurred the corporate world to welcome minorities because "you will ultimately lose" if companies refuse to recruit talented workers, regardless of their race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
Lawrence said the civil rights community needs, "to keep creating programs that are geared toward people of my age," and that she's learned to harness the power of social media to generate discussion and change.
In addition to the panel discussion, the university conferred an honorary doctorate to James Hadley Billington, librarian of Congress since 1987, who recently launched the library's exhibit, "The Civil Rights Act of 1964: The Long Road To Freedom," in partnership with Newman's Own Foundation.

15-year-old boys charged with Raven Wilson's murder
Raven Wilson
Police investigators in St Ann have charged two 15-year-old boys in relation to the recent murder of 14-year-old Ocho Rios High School student, Raven Wilson.
According to police sources, the girl was with at least one of the boys on the day of her disappearance, and was later killed.
The other 15-year-old boy allegedly played the role of helping to dispose of items belonging to the girl, and assisted in dumping the body.
The identities of the accused teenagers cannot be revealed, as they are juveniles.
One of the boys was charged with murder, while the other was charged with accessory after the fact to murder.
The charges followed a ruling from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) last Thursday that the two boys should be charged.
Additionally, the teenagers were taken to court last Thursday, and were remanded in the custody of the state.
They are to return to court later this month.
In confirming the detention of the teens at Thursday's monthly meeting of the St Ann Municipal Corporation, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Rudolph Taylor, said the teens were picked up over a week ago.
Raven Wilson's body was found in her community of Top Road in the parish capital, St Ann's Bay, on Sunday, October 21. Her body, with a wound to the head, was discovered in a garbage bag in bushes at about 6:35 a.m.
The student had been missing since Friday, October 19. It is understood that she left home for school at about 6:30 a.m., but did not attend the institution that day.
The police reportedly recovered belongings of hers, including her schoolbag and a pair of shoes, which were classified as vital evidence in the probe into her death.
The schoolbag was recovered at a premises in Top Road two days after Raven's body, which was clad in her school uniform, was found.
Investigators are also focused on the results of forensic tests on the recovered items, and also a post-mortem report on Raven's body,

Mountain View Gazette
Tuesday, Sep 13, 2016 06:00 am By: Dan Singleton
Click here for complete article
Mountain View County will host a workshop this fall to gather information on ways to improve broadband Internet service for rural residents and businesses.
The county's policy and priorities committee approved the move during its recent regularly scheduled meeting on Sept. 6.
Under the direction of council, administration has been examining the issue of broadband access in the county for the past several months.
That process has included conversations with Clearwater County and O-NET.
"It would be administration's recommendation that a fall workshop be established and administration will invite the neighouring rural municipalities, as well as those who are further along the process of identifying a solution to a roundtable discussion to be held in council chambers," Jeff Holmes, director of legislation services, said in a briefing note to council.
"Invitees would be a mixture of representatives from administration and council and all attendees would be asked to prepare and provide a one-pager detailing what they have done to date. This would allow for information sharing and might aid in identifying what works and what doesn't work, as well as potential opportunities for partnership."
In an interview following the Sept. 6 committee meeting, Holmes added, "Council is interested in trying to provide and influence broadband services, looking to make sure that our residents have competitive Internet access.
"We are hoping to get together and just brainstorm and look at alternatives that Mountain View County may consider that would enhance the broadband service our residents experience."
During the examination of the issue to date, administration has found a number of things other communities have done to improve Internet services, he said.
"Some of the things municipalities in other parts of the province have looked at include installing fibre connections in rural areas, installing municipal-owed towers and infrastructure to deliver the broadband services. Those are some of the things we're hoping to investigate before proposing any solutions for Mountain View County," he said.
Among those who will be asked to attend the workshop will be officials from the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, he said.
"They have staff that have been involved in looking at this provincially. We will also reach out to any of our rural neighbours that may be facing the same challenge and are interested in exploring enhancement opportunities," he said.
A date for the workshop has not yet been set.

Religious School for Pre-K through Grade 10. At this time, the Kehillah MAGNET Religious School is open to our temple members only.
Preparing Enrollment for Fall 2020
Please contact Jennifer Bober for further information. Thank you for your interest in the Kehillah MAGNET Religious School!
Jennifer Bober
Kehillah MAGNET Religious School Principal
(410) 939-3170 Ext 304
Contact the Kehillah MAGNET Religious School
A Meaningful Understanding and Dedicated Commitment
The Kehillah MAGNET Religious School provides Religious School classes to Pre-K through Grade 10 students on Sunday mornings from 9:00 am to noon during the school year. Additionally we offer Hebrew School classes to Grades 3 through Grades 6 students twice a month on select Friday nights from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm where afterward students will join their families for Shabbat services to practice what they are learning in the classroom.
Grades 11-12 are eligible to serve as madrichim (teacher assistants) in the classrooms following Confirmation.
The main goal of the Kehillah MAGNET Religious School is to enable students to develop a solid Jewish identity within their families, within the Jewish community, and within secular society. By the culmination of their formal Religious School education, students should have a strong understanding and deep appreciation for the Jewish religion and be fully prepared to embrace and live according to Jewish customs and beliefs into and throughout adulthood.
L'dor V'dor (From Generation to Generation).
This goal can only be reached with the involvement of the whole family in the Jewish learning experience. The education of your child is a partnership between you, your child and the Religious School. Practicing Judaism in the home and regular attendance at Religious School and synagogue services are essential elements to fulfilling the Religious School's mission. Together, as parents and teachers, we can help our children gain a sufficient level of Jewish knowledge and identity that will guide them in making positive life choices. Parents can help by:
- Encouraging a positive attitude toward Jewish study and prayer.
- Participating in Jewish experiences at synagogue by engaging in holiday celebrations and prayer services.
- Incorporate Jewish practices and beliefs into their everyday lives at home.
- Continuing to study as adults to show Judaism is a life-long pursuit.
- Embracing Reform ethical beliefs and spiritual growth priorities in the family.
- Communicating with school staff when you have questions, concerns or suggestions.
- Contributing to the resources of the Religious School by volunteering and performing acts of tzedakah.
It is our desire that through participation in the Temple Adas Shalom Kehillah MAGNET Religious School program, our students and their families will be drawn closer to The Temple and become more deeply involved in its many and varied activities.


text: California based Long Story Short splashed onto the scene with their debut album "What A Scene." Perhaps what's most striking about this band is the big, polished sound they're able to achieve as just a duo. Vocalist/Guitarist Dan Luka brings strong vocals and stellar guitar while guitarist, pianist, and backing vocalist Nicky James rounds out the duo's broad range of musical sounds. The album fires out of the gate with "Fall Awake" a charging rock song that will remind many of Switchfoot's latest material. Next is "Caved In," with a catchy back beat, layered vocals, and an unforgettable chorus, this might be the best song on the album, it's no wonder the song has climbed to the top of the AA Unsigned Top 10 chart. Also noteworthy is "Running From The Sun," a cleverly arranged track with an equally catchy chorus, that will remind fans of some of Lifehouse's early work. The band shows their diversity with some slower tracks like "What A Scene" and "What Mattered Most," both showcasing Luka's vocals complimented by James' on the piano. Long Story Short – this is a great album, and a very promising unsigned band to look out for in 2011!

Transparency is needed in every business we perform, especially in real estate which always involve huge amount of cash flow. Noida Authority has put forward a bid to bring more transparency to real estate activities in Noida. The authority will soon make all the details about the properties in Noida available on their web portal. The online facility will be available by the end of April, according to the authorities.
The program aims at bringing all details of properties like industrial, residential, commercial or institutional available in the portal. This has been a long pending demand of the allottees. The proposed project will save ample time for the allottees by avoiding numerous trips to the concerned authority officials and also can receive clear authentic information about the project within minutes.
With the proposed plan of Noida Authority, allottees can log on to the portal and access all details about their property like installments, lease rent, interests, water/ sewage charges etc. This is a win-win situation for both allottees and also Noida Authority. The officials can also retrieve the information related to properties by just a mouse click. The proposed plan will boost the confidence of the people and bring credibility & transparency to the real estate transactions in Noida.

Abstract: Companies are increasingly seeking to manage their IT infrastructure in light of their business objectives. To address this need, we introduce Management by Contract (MbC) as a new paradigm for IT Management. We propose a way of formalizing and analyzing contractual relationships in order to better inform IT-related decisions. In this paper, we present the information model that underpins MbC and describe our contract- based analysis algorithm. Notes: Copyright IEEE. Published in NOMS 2004, 19-23 April 2004, Seoul, Korea

The BlackBerry Storm might be the most tainted named in RIM's lineup. A piss-poor launch followed by a slow update process did it in. But RIM is clearly unfazed. The BlackBerry Storm 2 came out this year and was a quality kit with solid software. If this massive leak concerning the BlackBerry Storm 3 turns out to be true, the Storm name might actually mean something — someday.
The whole thing comes from BGR where they list the specs and whatnot. It sports a high-res 800×480 screen, a 1.2GHz unnamed CPU, 3G mobile hotspot and Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE along with Tri-band UMTS/HSPA. It's said to come out in September of this year although carriers and target price point isn't mentioned.

Dirt star Logan Seavey wins inaugural Saturday Night Thunder
Esports | April 5th, 2020
With only five stock car racing starts to his name, Logan Seavey put on quite a show in a virtual battle Saturday night with numerous NASCAR stars.
The accomplished dirt racer passed Chase Cabre with 12 of 150 laps remaining and held on for the victory in the first Saturday Night Thunder iRacing event at virtual Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway.
The race was held as a prelude to Sunday's eNASCAR Pro Invitational Series race at Bristol and featured drivers from various NASCAR series competing in ARCA Menard Series cars.
Seavey, 22, finished second in his qualifying heat earlier in the evening and was able to avoid most of the numerous accidents in the race, which prompted a change to single-file restarts late in the event.

"It was a long, long race. I think we all kind of knew that was coming. We were all kind of prepared for a lot of cautions," Seavey said. "We end up crashing (early) and we switched strategies around and rode around in the back most of the day and just saved tires.
"The last 50 or 60 laps I knew we were coming in (to pit) and I saved a ton until the last 20 or 30 and I knew I had enough to run down Chase. I had a lot of spotters and crew chiefs helping me out on his deal."
Seavey, who plans to compete fulltime in the USAC national sprint car series, didn't know he was going to participate in the event until two days ago.
"To come on here, and like I said being a last minute deal and with just a couple laps of practice compared to some of these other guys, to be able to beat Ty (Majeski) and Chase and some of these guys that are pretty good at this game is pretty cool. I think it's very cool for NASCAR to put this on."
Cabre ended up second, Alex Labbe was third, Anthony Alfredo was fourth and Kyle Weatherman completed the top-five.
Blake Koch, Weatherman and Alfredo won the three 20-lap heat races to set the starting lineup. Derek Kraus and Lance Huffman won the two last chance qualifier races.

New Proof: Sunscreen Each Day Stops Skin Aging
A new study finds that using sunscreen daily significantly slows skin aging. Researchers say it is the first scientific evidence of this benefit. Katherine Hobson joins Lunch Break with a closer look at the results. Photo: Getty Images.

Sometimes unfortunate or unforseen circumstances arise, which means that brands, for better or for worse, need to change their names. We thought we'd look at a few examples closer to home and further afield.
Recently, a few New Zealand companies have had to change their branding because they fell into some acronym-based misfortune. A Christchurch business (image credit: Stuff), now called BC Online is one of the most recent, changing its name from ISIS Building Inspections (Independent Safety Inspection Services), Stuff reported.
BC Online Managing director Ian Petrie said the company had been getting "bad feedback" from its old logo and it made no sense to keep it. Police had also visited the company's Auckland office last year after someone complained they were possibly a covert military organisation. Taking police advice, the owners changed its logo and letterbox details, discarding any possible references to ISIS.
On a related note, Toyota Isis drivers are probably looking into products that could obscure the name tagged to their cars.
Though not a brand so-to-speak (but an entity, which profits from sales nonetheless), Kiwi band Shihad changed its name to Pacifier in 2002 following the September 11 Twin Towers attacks around when they toured America. Thereafter, the band had a change of heart, restoring its old name back in September 2004. As the band put it: "The events surrounding the name change and our choice to be known as Pacifier are well documented. As much as we believed in what we were doing, and the reasons for doing it at the time – the truth is we were wrong."
Former American budget airline ValuJet Airlines, chose to rebrand following a series of safety issues (including 15 emergency landings in 1994, 57 in 1995, and 57 from January through May 1996) as well as the fatal crash of Flight 592 in 1993, killing all 110 people onboard. The Airline eventually merged with a smaller regional airline, AirWays Corp and operated as AirTran until it merged with Southwest Airlines in 2011.
On a related note, Malaysia Airlines announced last August that the airline will attempt to redeem its tarnished name by undergoing a dramatic restructure, which will see the airline cut 6,000 workers. The airline will come under the management of a new company as part of the $1.8 billion overhaul. A new brand and name was mooted as a way to get back in the good books, however thus far it has retained its existing brand.
Fast food giant KFC changed its name from Kentucky Fried Chicken, which it operated under from 1952 until it changed to the abbreviated version of its name in 1991. There are a few theories as to why – one reason being due to a change in people's attitudes towards health, so the brand wanted to disassociate itself from the word "fried", it also supposedly wanted to remove the word "chicken" due to concerns about its livestock practices.
The world's most popular search engine, Google, launched with the bizarre name 'BackRub', in 1996. A year later BackRub became too large to operate on the Stanford University server which hosted the site, so they registered the domain name 'Google' in 1998, hence our ability to "Google" it, and thankfully not "BackRub" it.
For multinational companies, unfortunate circumstances can also arise when brand names translate into something offensive in different language. The classic example of this would in the case of the Mitsubishi Pajero, which suffered some ridicule in Latin America on account of the word 'Pajero' meaning 'wanker'. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the Pajero is branded as Montero in Latin America.

Free Printable Harry Potter Paper Snowflake Templates
Winter is upon us. LittleMan and SunnyGirl have been enjoying sledding down the small hill in our backyard and there is talk of putting up the Christmas tree soon.
One of my favorite classic winter decorations is the humble paper snowflake. A great exercise in creativity, an excellent way to study symmetry and early multiplication, as well as being fun fine motor practice. For the little ones, a simple circle with some triangles and diamonds cut out is wonderful, but the older we get the more complex our designs tend to become. This year I decided to take a little extra time and design our snowflakes after some of the symbols we find in the Harry Potter universe. It took a bit of time but I've made my designs into a simple template so that all you Potterheads can recreate these snowflakes to decorate your own windows at home with.
All you need is our free printable (below), some coffee filters, a pencil, and sharp scissors (or an X-ACTO knife).
Simply print out our Free Printable Harry Potter Snowflake Template Printable (click here). It is a one page printable featuring 8 different templates including the HP logo, Gryffindor symbol, Hufflepuff symbol, Ravenclaw symbol, Slytherin symbol, golden snitch, horcrux symbol, glasses and scar. Fold the coffee filter into 8ths (in other words fold it in half three times) then unfold it. Line the creases up against the template and trace one of the designs onto the coffee filter with pencil. Refold the coffee filter with the traced design on top. Cut along the lines. When you unfold you should have something like this.
There are some snowflakes that are a bit easier than others. I suggest starting off with the golden snitch (the easiest) and working your way up to the Gryffindor symbol (which, while still easy, is just a bit trickier than the other templates).

E-mails released by the National Audit Office have confirmed that officials at HM Revenue and Customs did not want to remove sensitive information from child benefit data sent to the auditors because this would cost extra.
The revelation comes as the fallout from HMRC's loss of 25 million people's records continues to rock the government.
Chancellor Alistair Darling blamed the loss - Britain's biggest data breach - on a junior official at HMRC who had posted unencrypted disks with information on child benefit claimants to the NAO.
But the e-mails, published by the NAO alongside its briefing for the chancellor, appear to bear out key accusations made by the Conservative Party - that cost was an issue and that a senior official at HMRC was aware that unfiltered data was likely to be sent.
Meanwhile the Daily Telegraph newspaper has quoted experts as saying that cutting the sensitive information from the records could have cost as little £5,000.
Correspondence dated 22 November between the assistant auditor general Caroline Mawhood and acting HMRC chair Dave Hartnett shows both sides have agreed that a crucial e-mail was sent on March 13 by "a junior HMRC manager" to the NAO, and that the e-mail was copied to the Process Owner for Child Benefit - a much more senior HMRC official.
The two sides also agree there was "no evidence that the Process Owner for Child Benefit made the decision to release the data".
The crucial e-mails discuss the dispatch of HMRC data to the NAO in March for an audit exercise on HMRC's 2006-07 resource account, in which the information was safely received by the NAO. The lost disks were produced on a similar basis in October, in relation to the 2007-08 audit.
The exchange of e-mails on March 13 begins with a note at 08.20 from a sender at the Child Benefit office in Washington, Tyne and Wear, to an unnamed HMRC officer, attaching a data scan produced by HMRC's data services contractor EDS. This was then passed on to a recipient at the NAO.
At 14.41, the NAO recipient responds, asking for the data to be segregated if possible into two files. The purpose of this is unclear in the released e-mail documents, where details have been blanked out.
The released text includes queries raised by the NAO official, who writes: "I do not need address, bank or parent details in the download -- are these removable to make the file smaller?"
But in an e-mail sent at 15.23, the junior HMRC manager replies: "Your original request was for a 100% scan of the data, and fortunately a scan was complete earlier this year and we have shared this with you at no extra cost to the department."
The HMRC official says the NAO should take up "issues with the data extracts" with other departmental civil servants.
The e-mail then goes on to point to cost considerations. "I must stress we must make use of the data we hold and not over burden the business by asking them to run additional scans/filters that may incur a cost to the department," it says.
Correspondence from October, also released by the NAO shows that the audit body asked for the data to be sent "as safely as possible due to their content" -- but the second set of CDs did not arrive.

Classic paper-and-pencil tests on a digital pen tablet
Although Metrisquare offers many new tests, the classics are ofcourse also much appreciated since the users can rely on many years of research and experience with such tests.
Trail Making Test (TMT)
The Trail Making Test is a neuropsychological test of visual attention and task switching. It consists of two parts in which the subject is instructed to connect a set of dots as fast as possible while still maintaining accuracy. It can provide information about visual search speed, scanning, speed of processing, mental flexibility, as well as executive functioning. In the report, the results are automatically compared to normative data collected by Schmand, Houx en De Koning, 2012; n=478; 17-90 years old. Furthermore, the drawings are automatically stored. Also, timestamps indicate the time of each response. The image below shows an example.
Rey Complex Figure Test
The Rey Complex Figure Test (RCF) is a neuropsychological assessment in which the client is asked to reproduce a complicated line drawing, first by copying it freehand (recognition), and then drawing from memory (recall). Many different cognitive abilities are needed for a correct performance, and the test therefore permits the evaluation of different functions, such as visuospatial abilities, memory, attention, planning, and working memory (executive functions). Our tablet based digital version of the Rey figure allows the drawing to be replayed for later analysis.
Taylor Complex Figure Test
In 1969, Laughlin B. Taylor developed a second complex figure that is comparable to Rey's complex figure and can be therefore used to eliminate the memory effect in a second evaluation. A digitised tablet-based version of this test is available in Metrisquare DiagnoseIS. The following image shows the scoring system, as well as automatic colour coding to indicate the order of processing.
Bells Cancellation Test
The Bells Test is a cancellation test that allows for a quantitative and qualitative assessment of visual neglect. The automatically generated report allows for comparison to the norms of Vaes, Schevernels & Oostra (2014). Controls: n=20, m=61.45 years old (SD=9.37). RH-patients: n=20, m=61.65 (SD=9.85). The report shows the amount of omissions as well as the balance between errors left and right. Also, the Center of Cancellation (CoC) is automatically calculated and shown in the report.
Clock Drawing Test
Although the clock drawing test is possibly one of the simplest tests, it can provide huge amounts of information about general cognitive and adaptive functioning such as memory, how people are able to process information and vision.
Metrisquare offers various known blocktapping tasks. The automatically generated reports show the series and the responses, the time and amount of correct responses, including the norms (Claessen et al., 2014; Kessels et al., 2008).

What the first Death Jr. did well was put you in harm's way, often and unrelentingly. Death Jr. II: Root of Evil steps it up with bigger beasties, more varied varmints, and smarter snarlies. There are all kinds of evils in this sequel, bringing much-appreciated diversity to the action. They'll come at you from all angles, sprouting out of the ground or swooping down from the air or bursting up from the Toy Crypts to make you more dead than you already are. Fighting back flocks of evil chickens is something I'll take with me to my grave, remembering the burst of feathers floating in the air as my guns cooled down with the last shot fired. Once again, the game engine copes with levels packed with enemies of all sizes without a hitch in framerate. The developers dropped the combo counter on attacks, and there aren't quite as many objects to bust up typically in a stage as there were in DJ1 (we also miss some of the wide-open slaughter yard arenas such as the awesome Suburbia assault mission from the original), but there are now more moves and weapons to play with. There's also an improved camera system, which ditches the manual lock-on of the last game (which took its toll on many gamers' fingers) -- this time, you have more control over your viewpoint, and there's smarter sensing of when the camera should and should swing around in combat for you to attack enemies behind you or to the side without losing your bearings. Here, manual control of the camera is put on the triggers, and if you tap them together, your character goes into a strafe mode for more accurate death-dealing.
This time, DJ is bringing along a friend on his adventure -- the raven-haired, black-eyed beauty Pandora is a playable character this time, doing her part to slay evil instead of just unleashing it as she did last time. The differences in the two characters are unfortunately not all that great, with Pandora's Thorn Whip acting much like DJ's own Scythe and the duo's upgradeable melee attacks often matched by each character (we also wish the game allowed you to switch off characters between levels -- instead, you have to start a new game if you want to play as the other character.) Adding this second playable character also allows for a new multiplayer mode, although this mode feels like little more than an afterthought -- two-player (ad-hoc) mode just has you tripping through whatever stage the host player has unlocked, and the game's enemy count doesn't necessarily jump up when you add a friend (this depends on the difficulty setting you choose.)
What the game lacks in variety from character to character, it makes up for in combat -- there are a good deal of moves to use in fights as well a variety of vicious weapons, with upgrades to be earned for both your abilities and your weaponry as you play. With as many and as varied enemies that this game throws your way, you'll need to work your moves and get the most out of every gun. DJ and Pandora each have a different weapon loadout, beginning with their beginning guns (Death Jr. has his Twin Pistols, while Pandora has a Tommy Gun for faster but less accurate bullet-riddling) and on through the first four weapons they can earn. Each has a type of freeze weapon (and the freeze ability is still that cool slow-mo freeze, slowing down enemies but not stopping them cold when they're on top of you), a flame weapon, and a bomb of some type (Pandora's bomb is an explosive that is triggered when enemies bat at it trying to switch off the awful pop music it's programmed to play; DJ has his trusty C4 Hamsters), and between the characters, there's a mix of which type of weapon is long-ranged or stream-shooting or heat-seeking. The four shared weapons, however -- the Shotgun, Electric Gun, Gas Mine, and Rocket Launcher -- are not all that unique or fun in combat ... which is just as well, since we didn't even know these weapons were unlocked until we had almost finished the game since the weapon-switching mechanism is so screwy. (To be fair, the game tried to remind us to double-tap to switch weapons, but we were a little busy saving humanity and the hellspawn at the time to notice...)

A play is a form of literature written by a playwright, usually consisting of scripted dialogue between characters, intended for theatrical performance rather than just reading. Plays are performed at a variety of levels, from Broadway, Off-Broadway, regional theater, to Community theatre, as well a University or school productions. There are rare dramatists, notably George Bernard Shaw, who have had little preference whether their plays were performed or read. The term "play" can refer to both the written works of playwrights and to their complete theatrical performance.[1]
Comedies are plays which are designed to be humorous. Comedies are often filled with witty remarks, unusual characters, and strange circumstances. Certain comedies are geared toward different age groups. Comedies were one of the two original play types of Ancient Greece, along with tragedies. An example of a comedy would be William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night Dream," or for a more modern example the skits from "Saturday Night Live".[2][3]
A generally nonsensical genre of play, farces are often overacted and often involve slapstick humour. An example of a farce includes William Shakespeare's play "The Comedy of Errors," or Mark Twain's play "Is He Dead?"
A satire play takes a comic look at current events people while at the same time attempting to make a political or social statement, for example pointing out corruption. An example of a satire would be Nikolai Gogol's The Government Inspector and Aristophanes' Lysistrata.
These plays contain darker themes such as death and disaster. Often the protagonist of the play has a tragic flaw, a trait which leads to their downfall. Tragic plays convey all emotions, and have extremely dramatic conflicts. Tragedy was one of the two original play types of Ancient Greece. Some examples of tragedies include William Shakespeare's Hamlet, and also John Webster's play The Duchess of Malfi.[2]
These plays focus on actual historical events. They can be tragedies or comedies, but are often neither of these. History as a separate genre was popularized by William Shakespeare. Examples of historical plays include Friedrich Schiller's Demetrius and William Shakespeare's King John.[4]
The term "play" can be either a general term, or more specifically refer to a non-musical play. Sometimes the term "straight play" is used in contrast to "musical", which refers to a play based on music, dance, and songs sung by the play's characters. For a short play, the term "playlet" is sometimes used.

By Grace Bannon, Special to Everyday Health
As told to Cathy Garrard
My story is different from those whose arthritis comes on gradually. With mine, there was no way I could ignore what was going on. The summer before my sophomore year in high school, my knees started hurting. Then I couldn't get up the stairs, and in just two weeks I couldn't get out of bed. My mom suspected it was growing pains, but I really didn't think it was.
I went to the doctor — where they immediately thought it could be cancer or Lyme disease — and they hospitalized me during the first week of school because my blood work was at such dangerous levels. They said at the time that I didn't have arthritis because my blood tests didn't show that I had rheumatoid factor.
Getting a Diagnosis
I was mostly bedridden and sometimes needed a wheelchair over the next few months. Doctors prescribed the biologic Enbrel (etanercept), and it made me feel worse. I tried cortisone shots in my feet, and I took a lot of steroids and gained 20 pounds. I eventually got an appointment at the Mayo Clinic. The doctor there told me I had Still's disease, which is a different way that juvenile arthritis onsets. Then they had me try the rheumatoid arthritis biologic drug Kineret (anakinra), and that was a huge turning point. I started taking injections every day, and I went from being bedridden to jogging in just a few months. I'm 28 now, and I've been taking it every day for 13 years. I also find that yoga is good for both my brain and my body. As is as having a sense of humor. Everything is easier with a sense of humor.
Dealing With Flare-ups
I've been going through a rough patch lately. For the last two months, I've been having a flare-up. It has not been fun. The pain is mostly contained to my neck, but it runs down my spine and up into my skull. I have to lie down in the afternoons and evenings because my neck hurts so intensely. I'm going to see a new doctor to find out what my options are for switching medicines, in case that helps. I am a happy, bubbly person, but the discomfort can make you crazy when something normal like stubbing your toe happens, because your pain has already been active all day. I am not letting it overcome me, but it sucks, and it's been hard.
Speaking Out About Arthritis
My major in college was public speaking, and I love connecting with people and having a platform. I live in Los Angeles, where I make my living off of acting — and it's been wonderful — but I wanted to find a forum where I could do public service. I got in touch with the Arthritis Foundation, and they invited me to speak at the juvenile arthritis conventions this summer. It was a great experience. I loved meeting everyone and experiencing the truth that none of us is alone in dealing with this.
It's really easy to go down the rabbit hole of, 'Poor me, the victim.' It's fine to allow yourself to have feelings of, 'Why me?' but you can't stay there. You have to push yourself to turn this situation into a positive.
Kindness Is Key
Having arthritis has made me a more accessible person. I know how hard it can be to walk in the shoes you're in, and that's made me more present and compassionate. And I have faith in God, which gives me hope. There will be good things to come, even when I don't feel that way in the moment. I believe that there is another side of the coin of this disease, and that strengthens me to not feel sad for myself. I know I can overcome it.
I grew up in a broken family, and I know that hardship is a part of life. But it makes me enjoy the time I have with people and be kind to everyone I meet as I continue my journey toward health. When I was in high school, I remember my hand being so filled with arthritis that I couldn't open the heavy classroom door. But no one noticed me struggling, so the door slammed in my face, and I was stuck banging on the door hoping the teacher would hear to let me in. It's those memories that remind me to be aware of others, to show that extra moment of kindness, to extend a hand or a smile — whatever you can offer in that moment. Maybe someone with this disease can't open a door or get out of a wheelchair, but we should treat everyone we meet as though they are a person of value regardless of the path they are walking.
Grace Bannon, an actress/comedian currently appearing on ABC's The Middle, was diagnosed with arthritis when she was just 15. She shares her experience with juvenile arthritis — and how she uses her hard-won wisdom to help inspire others.

Welcome back to the 4th Kids and Kreativity linky party. This is a linky party for all your blog posts that encourage creativity or inspire imagination in children. They can be about anything from baking with kids, messy play ideas, childrens' crafts, book reviews, days out, travel…. you name it! Anything that gets the creative juices flowing, or sparks kids' wonderful imaginations can be linked up.
The last two weeks as usual have been busy busy for us. I've been concentrating on redecorating Oliver's bedroom into an 'Outer Space' room. It is very nearly finished, so watch this space for the big reveal! My sister in law made this gorgeous felt garland for him. Check out her Etsy shop for more of these cute nursery and bedroom decorations.
Oliver's 'Outer Space' room is nearly done. Just putting the finishing touches to it now. This gorgeous spaceman garland is just perfect and was made by my very clever sister in law over @brotherbearboutique Go and check out her other garlands, they are all seriously cute! #blissfuldomestication #brotherbearboutique #spaceroom #spacedecor #boysbedroomideas #feltgarland #handmadeuk
We've also had birthday parties, done some spring crafting and enjoyed spending time in the garden. I was also lucky enough to be invited to the launch of Zoggs Spring Summer 2019 which was really cool, and it was great to hear how they are making their new collection from a revolutionary new material regenerated from fishing nets recovery from the sea. It was very inspirational, and has made me want to get back in the pool!
The thing I love about being a blogger is that no two days are the same. Yesterday I spent a day doing blogmin and behinds the scene stuff, today i attended @zoggsuk launch and fashion show of their #SS19 swimwear collection, and their new pioneering #Ecolast. The new Ecolast collection is made from material regenerated from ghost nets, industrial plastic waste and discarded carpets. They also happened to look amazing! I have my eye on several of the designs. I also got to meet the very inspirational @susierodgers Paralympic gold medalist at Rio 2 years ago. Overall a very inspirational day, now where is my swimsuit? 🏊♂ #blissfuldomestication #SS19Zoggs #swimmers #swim #swimwearfashion #ecoswimwear #ecoswim #saveouroceans #dogoodfeelgoodlookgood
I'd love to hear what you have all been up to in the comments! Now back to the linky…..
The Last #KidsandKreativity Linky
We had a total of 9 posts linked up, which isn't as high as previous weeks, but I am still so grateful for everyone that does, so THANK YOU for supporting this linky.
Unfortunately there were some that didn't do the minimum amount of commenting, which makes me really sad. I really want this to be a supportive linky, and create a community of like minded bloggers. I know we are all busy, and sometimes we forget, but I will be on the look out for repeat offenders.
So please if you have no intention to, or don't have the time to do the minimum amount of commenting, then please don't link up.
I would also LOVE to see more of you over in the Facebook group, I'm hoping it can be a place where we can offer more support to one another, crowdsource and where I can keep every one informed about the linky.
The person that commented the most this time was Helena from The Queen of Collage. She linked her post 'We Grew Our Own Cress' so go and give it some love! I think it's so important to show and teach children about growing our food from seeds, and cress is a great one to start with!
The second post I am sharing today is my favourite post of the link up. This also has a garden theme and is by Claire from The Ladybirds' Adventures. It's all about Encouraging Wildlife to Your Garden, which I love. There are some great ideas in there where the kids can get really involved so go and check it out!
This Week's #KidsandKreativity Linky
This week I am sharing my Really Simple Monster Pencil Toppers, and How to Make a Wooden Spoon Flamingo.
I have been pinning all the posts to my #KidsandKreativity board on Pinterest, and will continue to do so. So go check it out for some great inspiration and ideas.
For all those linking up for the first time, have a read through the linky information and rules, but if you have any questions just message me.
Linky Information
The linky will open every other Friday at 10.00 am. It will be open for new link ups for a week, until the following Friday. On my bi-weekly linky posts, I will feature my favourite post and the post of the blogger that commented the most from the link up before, and share them on my social media channels.
Please, please, please make sure you finish your commenting by 12 noon on the second Thursday. Please also make sure you add the #KidsandKreativity to your comment, as this helps me keep track of the comments, and make sure everyone is doing the minimum amount of commenting. Please DO NOT link up and run, it's not fair on others, and is not what this linky is about.
This linky party is all about creating a nice community of like minded bloggers, and increasing exposure to blog posts that might inspire people. So feel free to comment away and share posts that you love. The more that you put into the linky, the more that you will get out.
So come and be part of the #KidsandKreativity community and link up your creative and inspiring posts. Come and check out the Pinterest board and join the Facebook group and get involved. Make sure you grab the badge below, have a quick look at the rules, and get linking!
