My Monday night Street Academy teammates (which has now grown to a clan of six, now that three other RPI students – Stefan, Dan and Tim – have joined Jeremy and Alexis and me at Revolution Hall) are devotees of Ultimate Frisbee. For those who don't know, Ultimate Frisbee is a very fast-paced version of soccer or football – only you use a frisbee disc as your football or soccer ball. It's a great sport, you get plenty of exercise and there's a ton of camaraderie in the game.
I've played it once. ONCE.
True story.
It's probably 1983, I'm a sophomore at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. The spring thaw has melted most of the dripping snow away, and an impromptu Ultimate Frisbee game is taking place in the quadrangle of the older side, or "Stryker side" of the campus. The game was not as strongly regulated as an official Ultimate Frisbee game might require; however, everyone was having fun and it was a great weekday diversion.
I had about an hour between classes, and when one of the teams needed an extra man, I joined up. I caught a few passes, I tossed a few passes. We had a chance to score and win the game, all I had to do was run down the length of the quadrangle, hook to the left, and catch the frisbee just past the designated end zone marker.
I ran down the length of the quadrangle. I looked behind my shoulder, saw the frisbee coming straight toward the designated catching point. I turned left. Concentrated on that frisbee, as it was drifting down to the ground. I leaped. Caught the frisbee clean and clear.
That onomatopœia was my face running straight into the end zone marker – a tree. My glasses flew in two different directions from the impact; I came down with a thud, blood oozing from the side of my face. Two of my teammates came over to help me up and pick up what was left of my glasses. I don't know if it was the mini-concussion I sustained, but I handed one of them the frisbee and asked if we had won. They were more concerned that I hadn't killed myself – or at the least, that there weren't cartoon birdies floating around my skull.
I was more upset that my glasses were broken, and that I would have to make an appointment at the local shopping mall to get replacements made – and pay for the replacements out of my own pocket. Then I squinted at my wristwatch – and realized that I had about five minutes to get to the Root Building and get to my French class.
I got to the class, and of course my bloodied face was the topic of conversation among my classmates. Comments ranged from sympathy to concern to a good smattering of gallows humor. Now anyone who's attended a foreign language class knows that the professor will NEVER speak English during class time, and in fact it's almost a rarity if they speak English to one of their students OUTSIDE of class.
So when Mme. Davis came into the classroom, expounding "Bonjour, madames et monsierus, Bonjour – Oh my god, Mr. Miller, what happened to you?" It was a shock to hear her speaking English during class time.
And dumb me, I actually tried to explain what happened to me – the Ultimate Frisbee game, the tree, the works – in French. Not the greatest French, mind you, but it was an effort nonetheless.
Epilogue. My glasses were repaired the next day; I only needed a stitch or two, and I passed French class that semester. Of course, all the French I've learned in college has disappeared to the point where I can barely order lunch at a St-Hubert chicken restaurant in Quebec City, but that's another story for another time.
I can still play Frisbee – the simple tossing and catching and stuff. But I think I'll leave the organized "Ultimate Frisbee" games to those whose peripheral vision will keep them from actually crashing into trees.

But she could not be despoiled of the incomparable situation that marks her for the metropolis of a Great Empire.

SONG (MP3): Take Back The Instant
ALBUM: Good City for Dreamers
FILE UNDER: Soul / Indie / Hip Hop
LABEL: Quannum Projects
INFO: When Hervé "RV" Salters, the man behind General Elektriks, released Cliquety Kliqk in 2005, the record was immediately lauded for its quirky ingenuity and the way it toyed between hip-hop and pop, long before artists like Gnarls Barkley and Santogold hit the airwaves. In thinking about his next album, Hervé decided he wanted to make a record that paid homage to the traditions of his idols before him, but he wasn't interested in just another throwback. He wanted to continue to make progressive art-soul that said what he wanted it to say and defended the idea of not feeling tied down by rules, even at the risk of falling flat on your face.

SONG (MP3): Smoke In Your Disguise / VCR
ALBUM: On the Sleeve
FILE UNDER:New Wave / Concrete / Minimalist
LABEL: New Granada Records
INFO:Few new-millennium acts seem to have gotten the balance of familiar '80s-club emotional throb and original contemporary energy just right, but this Austin-by-way-of-Orlando quartet is one of 'em. Songs from the group's upcoming full-length On The Sleeve sacrifice neither groove nor heft to their quest for resonant quality songcraft. There's an earnestness to their tunes that defies the over-it, overly detached posturing of so much danceable rock, that pairs the cool with an engaging humanity. Also, of course, they kill it.

ARTIST / BAND: Nurses
SONG (MP3): Catepillar Playground
ALBUM: Apple's Acre
LABEL: Dead Oceans
INFO: To immerse yourself in Nurses' Apple's Acre is to delight in a certain mental unraveling. These are songs where the vulnerability of pop with its heart on its sleeve engages in a double-dutch jumprope match with the euphoric surrender-to-the-weird that is essential to psychedelia. And Nurses is a band that scavenges beauty and wonder, uncovering Technicolor where others see somber hues. Their off-kilter psych-pop is driven by ever-swelling vocal harmonies, adventurous electronics, some serious wheelin' and dealin' on the Rhodes piano, and the kind of new-primitivist percussion that may or may not involve a standard drum kit.

LABEL: manimal vinyl
INFO: For their unexpectedly oddball "Omar K" video, L.A. couple Danny and Tiffany Preston, aka Rainbow Arabia, took their Basta EP tune into a grocery store where a mom and her kid Gang Gang Danced-away their demonic possession. "Haunted Hall," from the forthcoming mini-LP Kabukimono, continues the supernatural theme, though we don't currently have any moving images to go with it. It was produced by Pit Er Pat's Butchy Fuego and, like last time, sounds like someone overlaying colorful electronics and new wave beats and a Sublime Frequencies compilation (or, fair enough, a compilation of Arabic music not stamped by Alan Bishop). The results aren't necessarily distinctive, but it's a fun hodgepodge.

As always, Mead's honeyed voice is front and center, gently accented with classical guitar, woodwinds and string quartet. Almost and Always will be released in Japan on October 22 and the U.S. and Europe in Autumn 2008.

INFO: The core of A.M. Architect's inviting sound—laid-back, hip-hop-inflected beats paired with Fender Rhodes melodies, acoustic and electric guitar shadings, and an occasional sample—speaks volumes about its appeal. Though it may be a side project for Diego Chavez (aka Aether216) and Daniel Stanush (aka Magic Note, lead guitarist for the Panic Division), there's nothing half-assed about the dozen fresh cuts that compose The Road to the Sun.

ARTIST / BAND: Monahans
MP3s: It's Enough to Leave You
ALBUM: Dim the Aurora
FILE UNDER: Absolutely Kosher Records | Misra Records
LABEL: Indie
INFO: Dim the Aurora is the new album by Austin, Texas' Monahans, the follow up to their promising debut Low Pining. The journey to this point spans ten years, two bands, and five prior releases. You don't need to know that to enjoy Dim the Aurora, but it certainly helps to appreciate its achievement.
Greg Vanderpool and bandmate Roberto Sánchez started making music in alt.country outfit Milton Mapes in 2001. Milton Mapes eventually grew to include current Monahans members Britton Beisenherz and Jim Fredley. After recording three full length albums and performing countless shows, the musicians had outgrown the very band they had created and realized the needed to kick their alt.country habit and explore outside their comfort zone. They wanted more from their music than Lone Star beer and cowboy boots. The band changed their songwriting process from the old singer-songwriter-with-a-band model to a more collaborative effort, allowing the different talents of all of its members to emerge. The change led to a dramatic evolution away from the dusty alt.country influence of their surroundings in Austin to the poppier anthems of early U2 and the earthier feel of Nebraska-era Springsteen. They realized that what they were doing was so different that it deserved a new beginning, and Monahans was born.

INFO:The worry about the reunion of the original Dinosaur Jr. line-up, more than 20 years after their formation and legendary dissolution, was that these guys were just flogging the back catalog as a marketing gimmick. With the release of Beyond, in 2007, the band gave a hearty Marshall-driven "F**K YOU!" answer to those inquiring ears. Restoring the sound established by the opening hat-trick gambit of Dinosaur, You're Living All Over Me, and Bug, the Beyond record continued the band's march into rock greatness by making old ears smile and new ears bleed afresh. And now comes Farm, Dinosaur Jr.'s first double LP and their fifth full length record by the original line-up -- J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph -- set to release on their new label home Jagjaguwar on June 23rd.

I'm not exactly a skilled keyboard player so I recorded everything note by note and then cut it all together in my music program.

Trashed On Fiction synthesizes these bands into infectious, noisy rock and roll songs about awkward romantic relationships, an apathetic folk hero, baggage (lots of baggage), The Woolworth building, a celebrity stalker and removing your clothes. That's the first half of the new record anyway.
Trashed On Fiction spent a better part of two years working on their album, Words Trails Maps, scrapping the initial entire studio recording and redoing it themselves after-hours in a music store, a kitchen, the back of a van, and the theater stage of a certain college very late at night. The result giving the songs a warm, intimate, lived-in feeling while still sounding like it could have been recorded at Abbey Road.

Delicious vegetables that can be prepared well ahead of time.
- 450 g (1lb) carrots
- 450 g (1lb) parsnips
- 1 large shallot, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 40 g (1 1/2oz) butter
- drizzle maple syrup
- maldon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F), Gas mark 4. Peel the carrots and parsnips and then cut into even-sized batons. Take a large piece of tin foil or a double sheet of parchment paper or and pile the root vegetable batons in the middle.
- Scatter the shallot and thyme over the root vegetables and dot with the butter, then drizzle over two tablespoons of water and the Maple syrup.
- Season to taste, then fold in the sides of the parcel to enclose the root vegetables by bringing up the sides, then folding over and twisting the edges.
- Place the foil bag on a baking sheet and roast for 1 hour until the carrots are meltingly tender and slightly caramelised. To serve, either open the foil parcel at the table or carefully pour the carrots and parsnips and all of their juices into a nice big warmed dish.
The oven temperature for these roasted vegetables is quite flexible so simply put on the bottom shelf of your oven depending on what other things you need to cook and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Feel free to experiment with your own favourite selection of root vegetables such as swede or turnips but just remember that celeriac can oxidize and beetroot will colour the other vegetables.
Cook Ahead:
These can be prepared well in advance leaving nothing to do last minute. Expect of course remembering to pop them in the oven!

Disgaea 1 Complete (Switch) Review – Complete Success?
Platforms: PS4, Nintendo Switch (reviewed)
Developer: Nippon Ichi Software
Publisher: NIS America
Release: 12th October 2018
Price: 49.99
After the completely new IP Labyrinth of Refrain Coven and Dusk as well as last year´s port of Disgaea 5, the Switch sees yet another new game of NIS America´s beloved series: Disgaea 1 Complete. A visual complete overhaul of the whole game as well as every DLC and widescreen support. Though can this 15 years old game stand up to modern times, especially for 50 bucks?
We´re playing as the young demon prince Laharl who´s woken up by his vassal Etna after only … a few years of sleep. Having overslept both the fall of his father´s kingdom and the following evil schemes. Naturally, now that he´s awake he has to reclaim his former power and throne with the help of his vassals and loyal Prinnies!
As one would expect: Disgaea isn´t heavy on the story side of things, telling a lighthearted tale of "revenge" with some twists that everyone would´ve seen coming. The main reason why following the plot for so many hours is the writing which can create such a perfect balance between absolutely dumb dialogues and halfway serious ones, mixed with a little bit of evil. In contrast to Labyrinth of Refrain Coven and Dusk, it actually nails this one way better, since there weren´t really any parts where I feltlike it became dull or "too much". It´s an incredibly entertainingly written game, profiting from its huge cast of crazy characters and designs. I mean, it has the Prinnies again, who wouldn´t be enchanted by them! Honestly, it´s just fun if you don´t expect a huge, tension-filled story.
The most time will be spent in combat. Disgaea is known for its big, complex, strategic, turn-based combat played out in classic isometric view on 2D maps. Naturally, the foundation is built with pretty standard stuff: Every character can move a certain amount of tiles each round and also attack/defend once, everyone has their own set of special skills and weapon. On top of all that comes more advanced stuff like combos, activated when characters stand in a line, making positioning a greater focus if you really plan to advance.
However, only through the "lift" and "throw" mechanic in combination with the terrain does Disgaea 1 create the depth and complexity it´s known for. Each character can pick up another one, either to protect them from damage (while they lose some each round themselves) or throw them to safety or on higher terrain, inaccessible otherwise. As a result, it´s a game heavily centred on positioning and choosing the right moves at the right time. Especially since many special skills need a certain amount of free or used tiles. On top of all that comes things like environment factors like monoliths influencing certain tiles to give you or the enemies buffers if you step on them. If you destroy them though, all tiles will take damage, effectively destroying the other monoliths and triggering a chain reaction if used recklessly.
In exchange for this still very complex system, Disgaea 1 Complete asks a huge amount of time investment. Not only is the game pretty long but also full of possibilities to grind, which will become necessary every few chapters. From the Item World where you can literally upgrade any item in the whole game, to the many side battles and huge amount of character creation. Every little thing, from items to characters can be upgraded, improved and created and need grinding, later on, to become useful. While it´s not unbearable if you just want to complete it quickly, it´s clearly targeted towards people eager to see numbers rise and rise without end with every little optimisation.
Speaking about time investments, there was obviously a lot of it invested into remastering Disgaea 1 and its PS2 sprites. Because on the Switch´s screen, Disgaea 1 Complete looks absolutely amazing for such an old game. The textures are sharp but without suffering from the blurriness some of Square Enix´s older games do and super fast loading times. Given, the menus could´ve needed some overhaul as well, since the blank lists everything consists of with numbers everywhere can become quite confusing at first glance but except that, it´s a really well-done product, coming with an even greater soundtrack.
All in all, Disgaea 1 Complete is certainly a really well-made remaster of a still pretty good game, if you´re into the series already or always tried to find an entry point. Surely it requires grinding, investment and a certain love for complex systems but offers some surprisingly great gameplay, able to entertain even today. If only the whole thing wouldn´t cost 50 bucks for only visual overhauls and no really new content.

NYC attempts to raise smoking age to 21, Chicago may follow
New York City put forward a proposal Monday that, if adopted, would make it the first major U.S. city to raise the legal age for buying cigarettes from 18 to 21 — the same age for buying alcohol, according to a story in USA Today.
The proposal is part of a decade-long, anti-tobacco campaign by outgoing Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has imposed some of the highest cigarettes taxes in the country, banned smoking in parks and run graphic ads on the hazards of smoking. Last month, his administration proposed a requirement that stores keep cigarettes out of sight unless an adult customer asks for them.
Hours after New York City Council Speaker and mayoral candidate Christine Quinn proposed raising her city's legal smoking age from 18 to 21, Health Committee Chairman George Cardenas (12th) talked about Chicago following the Big Apple's lead, according to a story in the Chicago Sun-Times.
"That's something worth exploring because more kids are smoking now," said Cardenas, who didn't immediately provide data to back that up.

By Martin Luther Munu
According to the 2014 National Population and Housing Census Report, Uganda's population was at 34.6 million people, which represents an increase of 10.4 million persons from the 2002 census. The population in 2016/17 was estimated at 36.9 million persons, with a Life Expectancy estimated at 63.3 years in 2014, up from 48.1 years in 1991.
Uganda's population is expected to increase further. The high population, dominated by youth presents an opportunity for a country to build a long-term base for power, economic growth and ultimately development due to the benefits.
At a household level, a large population is a problem, in terms of a high dependency burden and associated increase in expenditures on food, health, and education.
However, at a macro level, a high population increases on consumption, providing markets which is crucial for increased investment, trade and subsequently development. This in turn presents better opportunities for households to get themselves out of poverty. Even within Uganda, places with higher population have lower levels of poverty.
Benefits of a large and young population
The benefits of a large and young population are enormous. For instance, during the 2007-2008 global economic crisis, countries with higher populations like Vietnam and Philippians were partly insulated from the ill effects of a global recession since they could locally consume a significant proportion of the goods and services produced. In addition, young populations tend to consume and innovate more.
They also attract Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) as investors seek to capitalize on the opportunities provided by lower labor costs. Capitalizing on this opportunity however requires a facilitative environment, right from the global to national levels.
A number of policies and strategies have been put in place to harness opportunities for the youth. At the East African Community (EAC) level, the EAC Youth Policy (2013) which seeks "to create an enabling environment for effective youth participation and empowerment in developing and sustaining the East African Community".
Nationally we have the Uganda National Youth Policy, the National Employment Policy for Uganda, the Skilling Uganda Strategic Plan 2012- 2022 as well as the National Youth Council and Moreover, Vision 2040 which focuses strongly on skills development and employment. Effective implementation of these policies puts the country on course of capitalizing on this demographic characteristic to become a powerful, rich and prosperous nation.
Youth empowerment and shifts in employment
A number of achievements have been realized over the last few years to empower the youth. These include; provision of vocational skills training, internship and apprenticeship for youth, launch of a skills development and access to finance. However, youth unemployment remains the major challenge.
According to a study conducted by the Aga Khan University, 48 percent of the youth identify unemployment as the biggest challenge with government needs to address. The major problem facing the youth is that policy makers assume all of them should "create their own jobs". This is not only untenable but it relegates government from its obligation to create jobs, hence failing the youth empowerment agenda.
According to a study conducted by Economic Policy Research Centre (EPRC), youth employment is shifting from agriculture towards the services sector, a move which is more prominent among the educated youth. This corresponds with the increasing role of trade in services at the global level.
Most of the youth engaged in agriculture are simply there because of lack of opportunities. Once they get education and move away from agriculture, a new opportunity arise for commercial farmers to invest in the sector. This could increase adoption of technologies which in turn increases productivity.
The youth who shifts to services on the other hand would benefit the sector through innovations, for instance mobile money transaction which have greatly contributed to financial inclusion.
In conclusion, the high population in Uganda, dominated by the youth has always been seen as a bad thing for growth and development of the country. However, with the right skills building and facilitative environment, Uganda stands to capitalize on these numbers to become a truly powerful and prosperous country.

Steve surprised by Adams exit from Vale Park
Steve Davis has told the club's official web-site that he will miss his local derby battles with Micky Adams after the Port Vale boss decided to step down yesterday. Davis admits he will miss the competitiveness of Adams over the 90 minutes and says the two were fine again once the final whistle blew.
The Crewe Alexandra has told crewealex.net that he was surprised to hear that Adams had decided to call it a day and that Port Vale has lost a good and experienced manager, who would have turned things around at Vale Park.
Steve told crewealex.net: "I will miss the battles with Micky when we play Port Vale again. He was always very competitive but that is because he wanted Port Vale to win. I am the same with Crewe because of that rivalry but me and Micky were always fine before and after those games. I like him and made contact with him yesterday to wish him well.
"From a personal point of view Micky was the one who gave my son Joe his chance and I will always be grateful for that as well. I would like to personally thank him for that.
"I was surprised when I heard that Micky had left because he is a very good manager and if there is one man who you will turn to in a difficult position then it is Micky. I' m sure he would have turned things around at the Vale. He would have been the perfect guy to get them away from the bottom.
"He did a very good job at Port Vale. He got them through administration, got them promoted and built a solid base of players there.
Steve added: "I'm sure after he spends some time with his family that he will look for the next challenge. He is still a young man and has a lot to offer the game."

The borders are from where the light angle should be coming from, as you can see from the other wallpapers this is consistent with what the light source to these wallpapers should seemingly be coming from as the wallpapers are in that shade style.
pandemonium91 Retired Moderator Aug 05, 2014
To be more clear, I'm referring to this line: screenshot.
It's so thin that it looks more like a slip-up than a stylistic choice, considering everything else in the images.
Still waiting for a reply from erdeteha, though. Maybe shed some light on this? It kind of messes with the whole image, not to mention none of these wallpapers have a proper description or signature.
Note: issue has been resolved :)

How to Convert Bed Sheets for Bunk Beds
Bunk beds meet space-saving needs for growing families, and children love the privacy and play opportunities afforded by double-decker beds. However, bunk beds pose a problem for the chief bed-maker -- usually Mom -- who must struggle with the daily challenge of making up a tidy bed in a space limited by ladders and guardrails. However, bunk bed mattresses are almost always twin-size, so you can use standard twin sheets and adapt them to the needs of bunk-bed living with a few simple steps.
Place a fitted twin sheet over the bunk bed mattress. Secure the two bottom corners of the sheet with sheet-holder straps. These are elastic straps that look like suspenders, with fabric clasps at the ends; they are sometimes known as "sheet suspenders." The straps usually come in sets of four, so you can use the remaining straps for the other bunk bed.
Place the pillow in its pillowcase at the top of the bed.
Tie an overhand knot in each bottom corner of a twin flat sheet. The bulk of the knots should be about 6 inches from the sheet corners.
Spread the flat sheet over the bed. Pull the corners down over the bed corners and tuck the knots into the elastic of the sheet straps. If the sheet is not long enough to do this, tuck the knots into the elastic on the fitted sheet.
Pull the top of the sheet up the bed and over the pillow, tucking the side of the sheet that's against the wall into the bed frame. At this point, the front side of the sheet should hang over the front of the bed frame.
Tuck the front of the sheet between the mattress side and bed frame, pleating the excess material as needed so it fits into the frame without any overhang.
Things Needed
- Twin sheet set with one fitted sheet
- Sheet-holder straps, set of 4
- Do not allow children under 6 years of age to play or sleep in the top bunk. Make sure the bunk bed construction follows the Consumer Products Safety Commission guidelines, which include having guardrails on both sides that are at least 5 inches above the mattress top, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center.
- Avoid "deep pocket" bedsheets and mattress covers, which are made for extra-thick mattresses. If your mattress is a standard thickness, deep-pocket sheets will have too much material to fit smoothly on the bed.
- If the bottom sheet tends to slip out of place during the night, use sheet-holder straps on all four corners of the sheet. When placing the bottom sheet on the top bunk, it may be easier to remove the mattress, place the fitted sheet and sheet-holder straps on it, and then replace the mattress in the bed frame.
- Simplify the bedding layers on bunk beds to reduce the bed-making steps as much as possible. A top and bottom sheet with a twin-size comforter is usually sufficient. Or, follow the European trend and eliminate the top sheet entirely. Use a comforter inside a duvet cover that can be removed for washing.

Make up styles and fashion continue to evolve and alter with every decade creating it is own style of make up strategies and clothes that sets it aside from previous years. Lots of fashion college grads significantly imagine that they know these packages properly, but what you learned at school isn't sufficient – fashion faculties do not teach these abilities nicely sufficient for entry level designers to be competent inside the fashion business.
In India, much of fashion has been influenced by the Hindi Film Trade, popularly referred to as Bollywood. Fashion industry employers range from prime designers in properly-established studios to high road stores, grocery store clothes labels and manufacturing operations.
Ancient Japanese clothes consisted of mena and girls wearing Haori or slender paneled jacket for special events reminiscent of marriages and feasts.

The 1950's spawned a wide variety of original and distinctive styles, presented with a traditional new age twist. From getting promoted by rock punk bands to prime designers producing and stitching their own traces of Gothic clothing which not only created a base for the folks which likes to comply with and worship this tradition in much wise and presentable form to the world.
This led to a variety of consumer boycotts and people wearing the clothing had been usually confronted on the road. Fashion styles have been changed that allowed more freedom of decisions. Gothic Clothing for Ladies fashion history is taken into account as a mysterious, dark and filled with soul induced wearing.

It has rightly been said by fashion gurus that 12 months 2010 is and can proceed to be an attention-grabbing and exciting yr for fashion. Nike, based in 1972, made a powerful start regardless of the athletic craze not being massive, but running shoes became essential additions to ladies's and men's closets as more people began running. Carrying sporting apparel is also a trend in 2010. Males are oftentimes gradual to warm as much as model changes.

Every month we interview people with a Roamler heart and this month we talk to Community Managers. Lieke, Community Manager from the UK and Isabelle, Community Manager from France answered the exact same questions about managing their respective Roamler crowds. Curious if there are any differences between the two? Then read on quickly!
Please, introduce yourself!
UK: My name is Lieke, I am 22 and I just moved to Birmingham. I started at Roamler in 2015, as an operations intern at the office in Amsterdam. I had an amazing time there, so after my internship ended, I stayed on as a reviewer for Roamler Netherlands. Until I started as a Community Manager for Roamler UK in January 2018.
France: I'm Isabelle, I'm 30 and I live in Bron (next to Lyon) in France, with my husband and 3 year old son. I started working at Roamler as a reviewer in august 2016 and evolved a lot. I'm now in charge of our location database and also manage international projects that go live in France. So now I can say I'm a community-, international project- and location database manager 😉.
What does the job 'Community Manager' mean within your Roamler country?
UK: As a Community Manager in the UK I deal with everything that has to do with the crowd. Some of the things I take care of include (push) messages, Facebook, creative- and training tasks, recruitment, the blog, newsletters and support queries. In short, I try to build the crowd, keep them engaged, and get them to the right places.
France: The Community Manager is the one who takes care of the Roamlers we have. Some of my daily tasks include: answering questions from Roamlers, keeping the community active, recruiting new Roamlers in certain areas. We often set up (recruitment) projects via the app, social media, or make phone calls. I also create the content for Facebook, Instagram or newsletters.
Describe a typical day at your Roamler office
UK: I always start the day with checking how all running projects are doing and decide which ones require action. Then I usually get myself a cup of coffee and check our Facebook page. After that, it really depends; every day is different. I usually have a few action points per day, and in the meantime I work on long term projects, such as recruiting Roamlers in the right areas.
France: When I arrive the morning, I start with answering messages from Roamlers in the app, emails, Facebook and Instagram. A nice thing we organise monthly is a "TGIF" (Thank God it's Friday), we talk about the company, play a game and eat some food. It's a really lovely. Sometimes, after work, we go for drinks and meet people who used to work with us. We are glad to see them again
What does your team look like? How do you work together?
UK: Our team is small, but is growing rapidly. At the moment we're a team of five, but we've got some new people joining soon. We all have the ability to work from home, as well as from our new office in Birmingham. Our sales team is always on the go, while the rest of the team works from home or the office. That means we don't always see each other, but we do keep in touch throughout the day. We try to get the entire team in once a week.
France: We have a great team to take care of the Roamlers. The person who's in contact with Roamlers first is Kenza, our reviewer. She tries her best to keep the Roamlers happy. Charles-Antoine is our intern since January, he helps with reviews and messages. And Jonathan is responsible for the field. We all have our goals and try to work together to achieve them. There is a great atmosphere and I think we all have compatible characters.
What are some of the coolest projects you have worked on?
UK: I really like the variety of the projects we work on, but I'm always extra excited about the ones where we don't just observe, but actively change something in-store. Like tasks where we add stock, remove stock and especially where we build displays. It's satisfying to see the before and after photos. It makes me proud; our crowd did that!
France: Last December, I created an advent calendar. We had 24 creatives tasks, 1 per day. And if the Roamlers were doing all 24 tasks, they could win a price. So, I had to create 24 posts on social media and needed to review the submissions very quickly every day. It was exciting and really Christmassy!
What do you like best about your job?
UK: That I get to work with so many great people. My colleagues at Roamler UK, the colleagues at the other Roamler offices and of course the Roamlers. It can really make my day when we receive a nice message from a Roamler. I also love hearing about great things Roamlers do with their earnings, or about experiences they've had because of Roamler.
France: What I like the most is the interaction with the Roamlers, as they all have a different personalities. I also like to create content for our social media. It's sometimes tough to find inspiration but I like this creative side of the job. I like that my job is diverse; I see the customer's AND the Roamlers' perspective.
What do you like least about your job?
UK: Answering the messages of Roamlers whose submissions have been rejected. It's always difficult to answer those, because I understand their disappointment after having put time and effort into performing the task. I always try to explain our point of view; how we can't send incorrect or incomplete data to our clients, even if part of the task was correct. It's an opportunity to learn, for both parties.
France: Customers have requirements and sometimes, it's really hard to explain that behind a task, there is a client. For example, we have a task where you need to take photos of all the shelves with coffee. Sometimes, there are maybe 15 or 20 shelves so that makes 20 pictures to take. It's really difficult to reject a task when there is just 1 shelf missing on 20 pictures. Roamlers do their best and it breaks our heart to reject, but we have to.
How is your bond / relationship with the Roamlers?
UK: Good, I hope! I really enjoy working with them every day. I hope they aren't too annoyed with my push messages; I try to limit the number and mind the timing, so we don't spam everyone's phone. It's great to see so many of the high level Roamlers in the app every day, I almost feel like I know them. It's also nice to see messages or submissions from the newest Roamlers, as they get to know the app.
France: We try to create a trusting relationship with the Roamlers. This works both ways: they need to trust us because when they submit a task, they sent us pictures and information but do not receive a financial reward immediately (they have to wait for the review). But, we also need to trust them; they are the "eyes" in the field so we need to know we can count on them too. Of course, we are humans and sometimes mistake while reviewing. We are always willing to discuss the review when Roamlers do not fully agree with the outcome.
Do you have a nice tip for Roamlers? If yes; what kind?
UK: Don't forget to check the experience tab in the app every now and then. We regularly have selection tasks for paid tasks there, which you might easily miss if you only check the paid tab.
France: Please, read the whole task carefully. The amount of rejected submissions because Roamlers did something that was not in the task, is quite high. Remember that even if tasks are recurring, the briefing might still change.
Got all excited about Community Management and want to make it your profession too? In Belgium they are looking for one! Please find the vacancy here and apply.

Brothers: Tale of Two Sons App Review
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an interactive adventure story masterpiece brought to your mobile device from Swedish director Josef Fares and developed by Starbreeze Studios. This game offers a unique experience with a compelling and deep storyline that follows the adventures of two brothers as they explore a vibrant and detailed gaming world. The game, which can be downloaded for a small fee on Google Play Store, has one over fifty awards, including Game of the Year, and should not be something that you should miss out on.
This adventure game follows the story of two brothers and tells a deeply rooted story without actually using any spoken or written words. You are left, as the player, to decide the course of actions that the two characters take, which you control interestingly enough on two virtual joysticks at the same time. This means that both characters are interchangeably controlled by one player using their touch screen, making Brother: A Tale of Two Sons a multi-player gaming experience but for a single player.
The game features nail-biting boss battles as each brother provides different skills and strengths that are useful at different periods of time. The game, besides the impressive combat you will face along the adventure, also presents to you a variety of different and challenging puzzles. These puzzles help move the game forward, blocking your progression with time sensitive obstacles that create a high-stakes atmosphere and encourages hours of playtime.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons provides an excellent gaming experience to lovers of classic adventure gaming and modern mobile enthusiasts alike. With brilliant and colorful graphics, the ability to control two very different characters at the same time and a fun and immersive storyline to follow, this game is definitely the total package. The game itself is rather cheap for what it contains, and can be purchased on the Google Play Store and downloaded at your leisure. If you are a fan of older PC adventure games and want a taste of nostalgia than this game will satisfy you. If you are an avid mobile gamer looking for a new and powerful experience, then you need not look any further than this game, which offers so much more than just another time waster.

FIRST LOOK: Baker & Cook and Plank Sourdough Pizza at S Maison, Pasay
Dean Brettschneider combines the flavors of the world in one place.
Baker & Cook and Plank Sourdough Pizza
1/F S Maison at the Conrad, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City
Baker & Cook: Open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Plank Sourdough Pizza: Open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
(SPOT.ph) "Pizza," shares Dean Brettschneider, "is simply good bread with toppings." It is a simple concept but not everyone gets it right—the toppings can get too oily or the crust too dry. But if there's anyone who knows their bread, it's definitely Dean—celebrity baker, prolific cookbook writer, and proprietor of Baker & Cook and Plank Sourdough Pizza.
Baker & Cook is an artisan bakery more well-known as a franchise from Singapore (though Dean shares that he actually first opened shop in Shanghai) while Plank Sourdough Pizza specializes in pizza. But the two are closely connected to one another. In fact, they share the same spot at S Maison at the Conrad, with spacious interiors that allow customers to move and cross-order from one restaurant to another. It is just how Dean envisioned it: a casual dining joint where everyone is encouraged to move around and sample both menus as they wish.
Naturally, Plank gets their sourdough from the artisan bakery. From the way Dean talks about pizza (good toppings on good bread) you'd think the dish simple. And it is—but this simplicity makes getting every detail perfectly that much more crucial.
Dean Brettschneider
At Plank, it all starts with the crust, which is made using sourdough that's a combination of three different kinds of flour plus wild yeast. The dough is then set for 48 hours then hand-pulled and stretched upon order. Then it's topped with fresh ingredients before being loaded in an Italian oven made to Dean's specifications—and recommended by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. The oven is heated to 280 degrees Celsius, so pizzas only bake for two and a half minutes—resulting in a crust that's perfectly charred and crisp but also soft and chewy.
Pizza Number 2 with tomato, mozzarella, eggplant, kalamata olives, chili, and chorizo sausage (P560)
The crust is so perfectly executed, it remains the main star of the show; but the toppings certainly don't lag behind. The Pizza Number 3 (P580) for example, with tomato, wild mushrooms, shrimp, salmon, capers, and rocket, is loaded with a special cheesy sauce and more cream cheese on top, because Dean knows Filipinos definitely love cheese. But even with the indulgent toppings, the slight tartness of the crust still shines through, with a delicious chewiness and a smoky flavor from the charred edges.
Plank Ribs
Plank Roast Chicken
There are also special menu dishes at Plank that are exclusive to the Philippines, and they are not to be missed. The Plank Ribs (P595 to P1,250) are fall-off-the-bone soft, with a strongly spiced glaze and hint of charred sweetness at the ends. The delicious aroma of the Plank Roast Chicken (P495 to P995) is definitely a head-turner, and the soft meat is seasoned on the sweet side.
Lemon Drizzle
Chocolate Lamington
Carrot Cake
Beyond the sourdough that they share with Plank, Baker & Cook has lots more to offer. Dean describes the artisanal bakery as a showcase of "new world baking," which he describes as bringing the best of the world to one place. Baker & Cook has almost everything from French Mille-Feuille (P95), delicate with a coffee-flavored custard, to the English Lemon Drizzle (P90), a thick pound cake with a sweet citrusy flavor. Of course, Baker & Cook wouldn't be complete without a specialty from Dean's homeland of New Zealand: a Chocolate Lamington (P100), which is a moist chocolate sponge cake covered in coconut shavings. Another must-try is the elegantly presented and uber-moist Carrot Cake (P140/slice).
Eggs Benedict
Salmon Quiche with Salad
Aside from their line of global pastries, Baker & Cook also features an excellent brunch menu. The Eggs Benedict (P395/with Hot Smoked Bacon, P425/ with Smoked Sockeye Bacon) are the perfect runniness and of course, the English muffin they sit on is spot-on. Anything with salmon on Baker & Cook and Plank's menu is definitely a must-try, including the Salmon Quiche with Salad (P325).
With Dean's passion for playing around with the different flavors the world has to offer, we had to ask if there was anything from the Philippines that had caught his attention. He replies with enthusiasm: "the ensaymada!," adding that he is planning to create a slightly different version of the classic pastry, adding his own twist to it. It can be daunting to add your spin to something so well-loved, but if there's anything Baker & Cook and Plank Sourdough Pizza has proven, it's that when it comes to dough, Dean definitely knows his thing.

Baker & Cook and Plank Sourdough Pizza opens on January 11, Wednesday.

Credit: http://cdn.blogsdna.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/google-analytics-logo.pngThe new Google Analytics interface offers a variety of choices for viewing data, which is extremely useful if you know how to use these different viewing options. This article is a supplement to my five-part tutorial detailing the Standard Reporting section of Google Analytics. If you would like to read Part I, please click here; for Part II, click here; and for Part III, click here. To start off, let me explain where to find the reports and viewing selectors being discussed. The viewing options are selected by going into one of the secondary or tertiary menus and looking at the Explorer Tab. If you have not read my other articles of this tutorial, a secondary menu is the sidebar listing written in gray with an arrow next to it; clicking this arrow opens a drop-down of what I call tertiary menus. Within both secondary and tertiary menus, there is a commonly used tab known as the Explorer Tab. Credit: https://www.google.com/analytics/
The Explorer Tab provides both a visual line graph depicting changes in value of a defined metric (depending on the menu that the Explorer Tab is in) over time as well as a table detailing information for different primary and secondary dimensions. The aforementioned table is where you can find a drop-down menu with selections for different viewing options. When clicking on the View button, it provides options which include viewing for Data (default view), Percentage, Performance, Comparison, Term Cloud, and Pivot. I will now offer a brief explanation with imagery for each of these viewing options. Note: these viewing options will offer the same metrics but some may require you to select a specified metric to be displayed.
Before starting the explanation of the different viewing options, let me first discuss the Sort Type feature which is available in all Explorer Tab interfaces.
- Sort Type - this selector allows you to choose between different methods of sorting including Default, Absolute Change, and Weighted.
- Default - this shows the standard sorting type which is sorted by the first metric to the right of the primary dimension listing. You can choose to sort by a different metric by clicking on that metric within the Explorer Tab's table listing.
- Absolute Change - this shows the absolute change of a metric when comparing two time periods and thus requires that two time periods be compared in order for this sort type to be active (meaning not gray and selectable). Absolute as opposed to relative change means that the change will be viewed as a positive value which is the difference between one period's value and the other period's value.
- Weighted - this sort type adds weights to the results so that certain metrics are defined relative to another metric. For example, weighted sorting can allow users to view the bounce rate of a keyword relative to the number of visits sent by that keyword and the pages/visit of those visits. This way, keywords with lower bounce rates relative to the number of visits will be ranked higher than keywords with a bounce rate irrelevant of the number of visits.
Now onto an explanation of each of the viewing options and any confusing metrics or aspects of them that would require further remark.
_______________________________________________________________________Credit: https://www.google.com/analytics/
This is the default view; it displays a simple table with different columns and rows to show specific types of information. You can choose to select both a primary and secondary dimension for this display along with a Sort Type.
This view displays as a pie chart and can be tweaked to display information for Impressions, Clicks, Average Position, or CTR. This view also offers a drop-down menu next to "Contribution to total" above the pie chart. You can select between Impressions, Clicks, or Weighted Total.
- Weighted Total - see previous explanation of Weight Sort
This view appears as a table but includes a graphical display with horizontal bars which illustrate the level of performance of your site relative to some primary dimension. Performance is measured as a percentage based on the number of impressions relative to a given metric specifier compared to the total number of impressions relative to all metric specifiers. For example, when looking at performance across different countries, it is measured by this equation:
(Impressions for Country A / Impressions for All Countries) x 100 = Performance.
This viewing option also provides drop-down menus for both the general table and the performance bar which allow you to select between different options depending upon the secondary or tertiary menu you are using.
Credit: https://www.google.com/analytics/
This view appears as a table and includes a graphical display with horizontal bars which illustrate the level of comparative performance of your site relative to some primary dimension. Comparative performance is measured by the level of some metric relative to a given primary dimension's specified value compared to the average of the same metric relative to the same primary dimension across all possible specified values. For example, in the Pages tertiary menu under the primary menu Content, the home page of one of your sites has x number of pageviews compared to the average number of pageviews across all pages of your site. In this example, the equation for calculating the comparative performance is:
(Pageviews of Page A / Average Pageviews of All Pages) x 100 = Comparative Performance
Credit: https://www.google.com/analytics/
Term Cloud
This view is very unconventional compared to the others because it simply displays a term cloud, which is exactly what it sounds like. Term clouds are similar to commonly used tag clouds except they use values from a given primary dimension instead of tags. The size and boldness of a given term is determined by the number of visits, pageviews, etc. for a given value. For example, a term cloud within the All Traffic secondary menu's Explorer Tab shows the traffic source google/organic as bold and large because it has the highest number of visits of all values in the source/medium primary dimension. Credit: https://www.google.com/analytics/
Clicking on any of these terms will generate a new line graph that is specified to show data from only that value. It's hard to see in this visual but the term in the middle is google/organic, it displays with this table and a line graph of data.Credit: https://www.google.com/analytics/
This view is perhaps the most complex of all the possible viewing options because it requires the user to designate multiple variables when creating a Pivot table. The variables that must be selected are: Pivot by, Pivot Metric 1, and Pivot Metric 2.
- Pivot By - this the variable against which you are "pivoting" and will display the values for this variable from greatest to least relative to the pivot metrics you have in place. For example, you could set the pivot to be source and the pivot metric 1 to be pageviews. This pivot table would then show the sources in order of highest number of pageviews to lowest number of pageviews.Credit: https://www.google.com/analytics/
- Pivot Metric 1 - this is the metric for which the Pivot By selection is being ranked; the metric you select for this will define the possible selections for the Pivot Metric 2 in the same way that the selections for this metric are defined by the selection made for Pivot By.
- Pivot Metric 2 - this is a secondary pivot metric which can be added to the primary pivot metric (Pivot Metric 1). The selections for this metric will be defined by the metric you selected for Pivot Metric 1. For example, if you choose Pageviews for Pivot Metric 1, the options for Pivot Metric 2 are Unique Pageviews, Average Time on Page, Bounce Rate, and % Exit.

It would be great to have on the website Player Dashboard a history chart that would show a line graph over time of key stats.
This can show if you are improving or getting worse over time on stats.
As my hcp is dropping, my stats are improving. With the current dashboard, however, I can not identify which parts of my game improved most and which need some extra attention.

Superintendent Says MCPS "Will Not Tolerate Hate-based Speech or Behavior"
Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Jack Smith has released a statement about recent hate-related vandalism at area schools:
"In recent weeks, Montgomery County Public Schools has seen a surge in hate-related vandalism in our schools and on school property. This trend is disturbing and unacceptable. These actions are a violation of school policy, a violation of the law, and simply wrong. Students engaged in this behavior will be disciplined to the fullest extent possible in accordance with MCPS policy. The MCPS Department of School Safety and Security is working closely with the Montgomery County Police Department to investigate these acts of vandalism and to ensure that our schools remain safe places to learn.
"Let me be perfectly clear—MCPS respects the right to free speech that is codified in the Student Code of Conduct—but does not and will not tolerate hate-based speech or behavior in our school communities.
"MCPS is a diverse community that is built on a foundation of respect for all. This means respecting the rich diversity of our 159,000 students and 23,000 employees. Our differences in backgrounds, races, faiths, cultures, genders, sexual orientations, political preferences and gender identities are an opportunity to celebrate and learn, not discriminate and denigrate.
"MCPS is a safe and welcoming place for all students and staff and we will take all appropriate steps to ensure it remains that way."
