It seems many women equate long hair with femininity, and no wonder: from childhood, we're shown cartoon heroines ranging from Rapunzel to Ariel that sport long, luscious locks. But guess what? Perhaps for practical reasons, or perhaps because we all just need a change, the hottest hair trend is short hairstyles for 2019 – and it's a trend we think that's going to last.
There are more than a few reasons to get your hair chopped. First up, there are dozens of ways to style short hair to achieve a flattering look. Whether you want to keep it cool and messy, casual and exciting or smart and formal, there are plenty of options to make you look gorgeous.
Other benefits of short hair include the fact that your hair dries faster after showers, plus you eliminate the tangling problem. Nonetheless, you should be warned that to get a great look, some serious styling products (all natural, of course, like these), and some tools like a good hair straightener may be needed to create an eye-catching look.
Here are 7 short hairstyles for the New Year that we love – at least one is bound to suit you!
1. Scarf Wrapping
This is an 60's revival that's making a huge comeback. It involves folding a scarf like this lengthwise to make a 3cm band. With the middle at the nape of the head, go round the perimeter of your hairline and either tie or make a bow at the front.
This hairstyle is especially more convenient if you have little time to style your hair. There are no rules here – you can pick a patterned or solid coloured scarf, just make sure you get the colours and texture right for your skin tone.
2. Messy Chin-Length Bob
A messy bob will never go out of style. It's a universal look that seems to work well with all hair types and they are versatile and easily manageable. There are dozens of messy bobbed hairstyles you can rock, but a chin-length bleached bob with a funky highlights seems to be a style to watch out for in 2019. The chopped and textured layers will definitely draw attention to your face, emphasizing your best features.

3. Fishtail Braid Bangs
Braided hairstyles are versatile as you can create an endless array of patterns, looks, and finishes. For shorter hair, you can pull off an edgier look by side-plaiting your short hair to create fishtail braid bangs, which can be ideal for you if you're looking for a less traditional 'do. The fishtail is tucked underneath the rest of the hair to give it a clean, cool and hip look for women of all ages – just watch this tutorial to see how to do it.

4. Pixie Cut Hairstyles
Katy Perry, Ruby Rose, and Ginnifer Goodwin are just a few celebs who have been spotted rocking sexy iconic pixies. While there are so many ways to wear this kind of hairstyle, including the slicked-down pixie, pushed-up pixie, and the cool pixie, my favourite is the latter. To achieve that look, start by detangling your hair using a comb after washing it and apply a mixture of mousse and gloss crème to your hair while it's a bit damp. After this, comb your hair entirely and blow dry it while brushing your hair upwards. Next, style it so that bangs stick up mainly, but also fall down a bit on the face. Splash on some hairspray to keep it all in place.

5. Short Curls
Whether or not your hair is naturally curly, there are more than a few ways to give yourself some waves – all you'll need is a pair of quality hair tongs or a curling iron, some natural styling products for curly hair, a few sectioning clips, comb, and some natural hairspray. Use your curling tong to curl the bottom half of your hair and clip it up in several sections. After your hair has cooled, unclip all the sections and curl the crown hair at the ends. Once this is done, give it a spritz of hairspray, shake it out, and you're good to go. This might take you more than just a few minutes, but given the look you get if you do it right, it is worth every second.

6. Short Wavy Hair with Bangs
This is another super-dazzling hairstyle for short hair. It's trendy, modern, young, and unique, and can totally transform your face, as the picture below clearly illustrates. You'll need a hairdresser to cut the bangs in properly for you, but then to get the body in your bob, just follow this tutorial.

7. The Twist and Pin
There are so many ways to rock a twist and pin hairstyle for your short hair. It involves twisting your hair into slightly unkempt rows and pinning them in place for a glamorous look. This one is particularly ideal for conveying a boho chic vibe.
The main trick is to create hair sections that are tight enough to hold your hair in place without affecting its integrity or injuring your scalp. Additionally, you have to take care not to overload your hair with pins. You'll need a couple of quality hairpins, an elastic band, and a hair comb. Start by detangling your hair using the comb and section it up, tying it into a decent low ponytail. Next, take a section of hair from your ponytail and twist it up, pinning it into place at an angle to create a tiny mini-bun. Keep going with the sections until you get the look you want.

Zac Aghion is the CEO & Co-Founder of Splitforce, a business focused on behavioral analytics for native apps and games. The first launched product is A/B testing software for Unity, iOS and Android apps. Zac is a big data expert and a statistics geek, as you will convince yourself by reading his answers, where he mentions about statistical significance and cluster analysis.
As our guest Alex Richter mentioned in a previous interview, ecommerce optimization is very data driven. That's why, driving conclusions based on data analysis may become the practice that will grow your online conversion rate. Now let's see what Zac has to say about A/B testing.
1.A/B testing is embraced by more and more marketers to test their ideas. Do you recommend it? Why?
Sell-through, known in the online world as conversion rate, is the single highest leverage point in any commerce-based business. A/B testing is a proven and reliable method to incrementally increase conversion rates, by facilitating product decisions through the leverage of user data.
2. Do you remember the case that got the most outstanding growth in conversions due to an A/B Test or a combination of it with other actions?
We managed to grow the in-app purchase conversion rates by 125% for Reign Design, a Shanghai-based app sudio.
3. Can you make a top 5 of A/B testing ideas for ecommerce websites?
1) Don't be shy – test radically different ideas
2) Focus on where the conversion is happening – checkout + product pages are usually a good place to start
3) Always establish a baseline against which to measure progress
4) Use lazy assignment to realize faster results w/ less traffic
5) Do not stop an experiment until you reach statistically significant results
4. Do you use personalization to improve the conversion rate? How?
Yes, models like RFM analysis or clustering can help you create market segments and predict what type of product should be shown each segment in order to optimize their probability of converting.
5. Where to start from? What are the most important things a marketer shouldn't miss when he starts to optimize the conversion rate?
Think about what metrics matter the most for your business and then what factors you believe have the greatest impact on those metrics.
So, this it! The third interview in our series. If you want to learn more about ecommerce optimization, stick with us for further insights from CRO experts and not only.

How far would someone go to alter their look? These celebrity plastic surgeries may surprise you.
Some people say physical appearance is important because it can make us feel good. So, some of them try all kinds of things to achieve that. And if you work in entertainment industry, you are only a few steps away from undergoing extreme makeover like these celebrity plastic surgeries.
Even though physical appearance is not the only criteria to determine beauty, and to look good does not always make us feel good, many people still desperately try to change their appearance in search of physical perfection. The quickest way for that is through plastic surgery.
Originally, plastic surgery is done for medical purpose. But these days, people do it just to enhance their look even though there is nothing medically wrong about it. However, plastic surgery is not risk free. Instead of getting a better look, you may end up looking worse.
Plastic surgery is popular among celebrities. And some of them are willing to pay truckload of money for the best procedures. We ranked fifteen celebrities who have spent the largest amount of money for them. Here is the countdown:
15. Roseanne Barr ($45,000)
When many people undergo plastic surgery to enhance their look, Roseanne Barr had one unique reason. The actress, comedian, writer, television producer and director just wanted to get away from her former husband, Tom Arnold.
Roseanne is quite open about her plastic surgery. The story began in the early 1990s, when Roseanne was married to Tom. The marriage didn't end up well for it only lasted for 4 years. During that period of time, she underwent some plastic surgeries.
She did that so she would have time to be away from her husband. And then, she would be accompanied by a nurse for her post-surgery recovery and did not have to be alone with him. As the result, Roseanne had multiple surgeries from nose job, face-lift, cheek implant, breast reduction, liposuction, to tummy tuck.
In 1998, few years after her divorce, Roseanne had gastric bypass to lose some weight because she was obese. She admits that even though she has spent around $45,000 for plastic surgeries, she wants more. But she stops herself from doing that because she feels too old and is scared that anesthesia will kill her.

Alison Chernick's enchanting documentary looks beyond the sublime musician, to see the polio survivor whose parents emigrated from Poland to Israel, the young man who struggled to be taken seriously as a music student when schools saw only his disability. As charming and entrancing as the famous violinist himself, ITZHAK is a portrait of musical virtuosity seamlessly enclosed in warmth, humor, and above all, love.

The Death of Stalin (IFC Films)
The one-liners fly as fast as political fortunes fall in this uproarious, wickedly irreverent satire from Armando Iannucci. Moscow, 1953: when tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin drops dead, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to be the next Soviet leader. Among the contenders are the dweeby Georgy Malenkov, the wily Nikita Khrushchev, and the sadistic secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria. But as they bumble, brawl, and backstab their way to the top, just who is running the government? Combining palace intrigue with rapid-fire farce, this audacious comedy is a bitingly funny takedown of bureaucratic dysfunction performed to the hilt by a sparkling ensemble cast.
Our Blood is Wine (Music Box Films)
Filmmaker Emily Railsback and award-winning sommelier Jeremy Quinn provide intimate access to rural family life in the Republic of Georgia as they explore the rebirth of 8,000-year-old winemaking traditions almost lost during the period of Soviet rule.

He uses his knowledge of the storm as a weapon to defeat the bad guys in this non-stop action/thriller.
Leaning Into The Wind (Magnolia Pictures)
LEANING INTO THE WIND is a vibrant journey through the diverse layers of Andy Goldsworthy's world. From urban Edinburgh and London to the South of France and New England, each environment he encounters becomes a fresh kaleidoscopic canvas for his art. A lushly-visualized travelogue, Goldsworthy's work and Thomas Riedelsheimer's exquisite cinematography redefine landscape and inextricably tie human life to the natural world.
Claire's Camera (Cinema Guild)
A refreshingly sunny performance from Isabelle Huppert (The Piano Teacher, Elle) is at the center of this comic charmer from South Korean Master Hong Sangsoo. Huppert plays Claire, a school teacher with a camera (that might be magical) on her first visit to Cannes. She happens upon a film sales assistant, Manhee (Kim Minhee), recently laid off after a one-night stand with a film director (Jung Jinyoung). Together, this unlikely pair become detectives of sorts, as they wander around the seaside resort town, working to better understand the circumstances of Manhee's firing—and developing new outlooks on life in the process. Intricately plotted with wit and charm to spare, CLAIRE'S CAMERA explores the power of images to transform us. "The only way to change things," says Claire, "is to look at them again very slowly."

Club Profile: Ascent
Ascent Club promotes female and minority representation in STEM field
Providing helpful connections and resources to students, Ascent Club is an all-inclusive space to learn about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Based off of student run projects, Ascent aims to give students hands-on experience with important aspects of the STEM field.
"Ascent stimulates diversity as well as getting students involved in STEM before college," junior Riddhi Duvvur said. "All projects are student run, so Ascent provides a lot of first hand exposure."
Ascent has collaborated with various businesses, such as Westar energy, and Kansas University School of Engineering. The club goes on field trips to many destinations which give an inside perspective on careers within the science field. In the past, Ascent has gone to the University of Kansas School of Engineering to look at their human-like robots. Ascent provides an opportunity for students to build helpful relationships with actual professionals of STEM.
"Ascent is a good opportunity to work on a big project with people who share similar interests," sophomore Rebecca Feng said. "We contact people outside of school who work in companies to help us with our projects."
While working to install a wind turbine on campus last year, Ascent traveled to Kansas City and Lawrence High to give presentations over their student-made plan. Westar Energy offered to fund various aspects of the project, planning for the structure to be much bigger than the club had anticipated. After much effort, Westar informed Ascent that the project was no longer feasible, forcing them to cancel the project.
"We are not exactly sure what happened, only the district and Westar were communicating," sponsor Julie Schwarting said. "They wanted to make it a larger project, it got out of control and Westar ended up backing out."
This year, Ascent aims to install solar panel on campus, aiming to use a source of renewable energy to fuel the school. A field trip to Johnson County Community College earlier this school year allowed the club to look at the university's solar panel tables for inspiration.
"I chose to join because it is a good opportunity to learn about the STEM field and have more connections within it," junior Sivani Badrivenkata said. "The club has a specific focus on minorities, and I thought that would be a good fit for me."
Along with unique learning opportunities, Ascent provides support for marginalized groups. These opportunities are significant for those within underrepresented demographics, as minorities often struggle to maintain a voice within STEM. The field is predominately made up of white males, leaving out women, people of color, and people within the LGBTQ+ community. Ascent creates an open space for all groups of people to explore STEM together.
"Many minority groups struggle with different representation issues," Badrivenkata said. "We want the majority groups to help, assist and celebrate the minority groups within the STEM Field."
Striving to bring different demographics together, Ascent encourages everyone within the field of science to support those who are underrepresented. The recognition Ascent provides to all groups brings those interested in STEM together to use their different perspectives to find solutions for challenging problems.
"My favorite part of Ascent is getting to talk about science and its creative applications," senior president Arnav Rashid said "It goes beyond textbooks and formulas to connect science to advocacy."

Vigilante Anti-Hero Explores Family Values. Violence Ensues in 'Jonah Hex: No Way Back '
Family crops up early and often in No Way Back, and it's clear that the writers link Hex's crippled family background with the shambling wreck he has become.
Jonah Hex: No Way BackPublisher: DC Comics
Length: 136 pages
Author: Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, Tony DeZuniga
Price: $19.99
Format: Hardcover
Publication Date: 2010-06
Forget the movie. By all accounts, Warner Brothers' summer "blockbuster" Jonah Hex was a fairly awful mess even by Hollywood standards. (Full disclosure: I've never seen it.) Hex, a character who has been around since the early-'70s, has been a perpetual second-string CD Comics property, a scar-faced, gun-totin' vigilante with a heart of gold who shoots first and—aw hell, shoots is about all he does. Despite the mediocre movie, he's had his moments of on-the-page cool.
No Way Back aims to continue the slow resuscitation of Hex into a more than second-tier character. Writers Gray and Palmiotti have released a series of graphic novels charting his adventures, with titles like Face Full of Vengeance and Lead Poisoning. Readers new to the series who wish to get an idea of how things kicked off could do worse than picking up the Origins graphic novel which collects a group of 2007 comics to clue the reader in to some early events in Hex's life. That volume has the added advantage of some fine pencils by Jordi Bennett.
Which brings us to No Way Back, a book which aims to expand on the events of Origins and reveal how Hex's early childhood set the stage for a lifetime of cold-blooded outlawry. Unfortunately, these revelations are hardly unique or even unusual; in fact they're quite typical. One might have expected something more singular, given the way lil' Jonah turned out.
The story opens with Hex saving a Nevada town from a pack of bank robbers, and rewarding himself with the cheerful attentions of the local harlots -- an oddly discolored group of women, one of whom resembles a sand-filled sausage tube. His relaxation is interrupted by news of a newly-levied bounty, which sends Hex into a shooting spree (admittedly not too difficult). It's a bit surprising that the bounty has been levied, not on Hex, but on a member of his family.
This leads to the most important thematic thread in the story. Family crops up early and often in No Way Back, and it's clear that the writers link Hex's crippled family background with the shambling wreck he has become. Flashbacks fill in the gaps competently if unsurprisingly, while the present story presents a series of revelations that confront Jonah with family members he didn't know he had. One of these encounters is genuinely moving; the longer of the two, which takes up much of the book's second half, is primarily a way to keep the action galloping along.
The reader is also treated to the origin story of El Papagayo, a longstanding nemesis of Hex's and the leader of a band of vicious outlaws. El Papagayo has caused Hex problems before, but here we get an account of his own youth, which is linked to Hex's and which explains his apparently irrational hatred of the man.
It's worth pointing out that Papagayo is Mexican, as are the other significant outlaws in the story, while the victims are overwhelmingly white. While there are various Anglo scavengers and badmen scattered throughout the story—Hex's relatives among them—the Mexicans are portrayed with particular disgust, with spittle flying as they abuse women and so forth. Conversely, the only town of devoted pacifists is populated by God-fearing, Christian white folks. This is not a particular pattern in the other Hex books, but taken in isolation here, the ethnic division is disturbing.
Tony DeZuniga was the penciller for the very first Jonah Hex comics way back in 1972. His style has been descrtibed as "love it or hate it", which seems fair. His sketchy style utilizes a great many short fine lines, which end up confusing the eye and tend to make characters look years older than they should. Worse, he is an uncommonly poor draughtsman. Besides the harlot-who-looks-like-a-sack-of-sand, there are many panels where human figures appear grotesquely distorted or clumsy.
One might defend the artwork by saying DeZuniga's "primitive" style effectively mirrors the Old West milieu it portrays. Fair enough; certainly a slick, brightly-colored portrayal of Hex's world would seem surrealistically wrong. Still, some middle ground between slick and sketchy might work better. Rob Schwager's colors deserve a mention, as they improve the artwork noticeably. Working with a muted selection of grays, blues and browns, Schwager effectively conveys ruggedness and earthiness, while occasional splashes of color—a twilit sky, a woman's dress, the feathers of a parrot—add visual depth and interest.
One final note: this is a very violent book. The first image is of a pile of corpses, and leafing through the pages, I count 26 murders, plus various beatings and slaps, an arm hacked off and sundry acts of violence against women, against children, against animals. Obviously all stories contain conflict, and Westerns as a genre are known for explosive violence, but this fairly slim volume packs in an awful lot of bloodshed with only slight pauses in between.
Ultimately, there is not a great deal new, here. This is a book which will appeal mainly to existing fans of Jonah Hex, which is no doubt exactly what the publisher expects. It's hard to see this title having a great deal of crossover appeal for an audience of non-comics readers, though perhaps fans of the genre will be intrigued enough to follow up with the other volumes in Hex's continually evolving catalogue.

To understand the stability of hydrous phases in mafic oceanic crust under deep subduction conditions, high-pressure and high-temperature experiments were conducted on two hydrous basalts using a Kawai-type multi-anvil apparatus at 17–26 GPa and 800–1200 °C. In contrast to previous studies on hydrous basalt that reported no hydrous phases in this pressure range, we found one or two hydrous phases in all run products at or below 1000 °C. Three hydrous phases, including Fe-Ti oxyhydroxide, Al-rich phase D and Al-rich phase H, were present at the investigated P-T conditions. At T ≤ 1000 °C, Fe-Ti oxyhydroxide is stable at 17 GPa, Al-rich phase D is stable at 18–23 GPa, and Al-rich phase H is stable at 25–26 GPa. Our results, in combination with published data on the stability of hydrous phases at lower pressures, suggest that a continuous chain of hydrous phases may exist in subducting cold oceanic crust (≤1000 °C): lawsonite (0–8 GPa), Fe-Ti oxyhydroxide (8–17 GPa), Al-rich phase D (18–23 GPa), and Al-rich phase H (>23 GPa). Therefore, in cold subduction zones, mafic oceanic crust, in addition to peridotite, may also carry a substantial amount of water into the mantle transition zone and the lower mantle.

Get three PI Assistant Extraordinaire Mysteries in a bundle.
Ghostly Murder
A high profile murder calls for a high profile detective.
When the famous Sushi Czar is found dead in a room that's locked from the inside, the evidence just doesn't add up. Of course a killer ghost (supernatural killer) is no match for the deductive skills of Michael Archangel. The fabulous cross-dressing former FBI agent can rock a set of sky high stilettos and assemble clues like puzzle pieces, but can he actually prove a ghost committed murder?
Only his assistant knows for sure. Former housewife and London socialite Kelly Kinki (it's Kinki ending with an I not a Y) may someday be the Watson to Archangel's Holmes, but for now, she's following orders, coveting his fashion sense and learning from the master PI that there's something truly fishy about this case.

The church, dedicated to St. Andrew, has lately been rebuilt, in the later style of English architecture, and is now one of the most elegant in the county: in the churchyard are the remains of an ancient cross, supported on steps. The river Severn passes through the parish. Here was formerly a market, granted by Edward III., but it has been long disused. A charity school was founded, in 1701, by Thomas Tolley, to which Thomas Baker, in 1722, bequeathed £100, and Richard Lloyd, in 1723, liberally endowed it with land and houses.

- Polling expert John Curtice: Downing Street blocking a fresh independence referendum would risk "suggesting that Scotland cannot decide for itself whether it wishes to remain inside the Union or not."
- Indyref2 would be "one hell of a risk" for both May and Sturgeon's governments
LONDON — Denying Scotland a fresh vote on Scottish independence would be "politically pretty catastrophic" for the UK government, according to polling expert John Curtice.
The Times reported on Monday that Prime Minister Theresa May is preparing for the Scottish government to call a second independence referendum when she triggers Article 50 in March.
Curtice, professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, told BI earlier in February that blocking such a demand would be "legally possible" but politically damaging for the UK government.
He said any move to block a fresh vote would risk "suggesting that Scotland cannot decide for itself whether it wishes to remain inside the Union or not."
"You can push and harry about the terms of the referendum, but put it like this: Given that it won't require a great number of people to change their minds before we are in the realm where "Yes" are ahead, I wouldn't want to take that risk [of denying Scotland a referendum] if I were the UK government," Curtice said.
A second referendum would be "one hell of a risk" for both Sturgeon and May's governments
In 2014, Scots voted by a majority of 55% to 45% to stay within the union, something then-current First Minister Alex Salmond declared would be a "once-in-a-generation" event.
Polling still suggests the majority of Scots would vote against independence, but the country voted to remain in the EU in June by a margin of 62% to 38%.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has argued that the Brexit vote — and especially Theresa May's decision to pursue pull the whole of the UK out of the single market — is against Scotland's wishes, and therefore makes a second referendum "more likely," as it amounts to a "material change in circumstances."
Curtice, who runs the highly-respected polling website What Scotland Thinks, said that Downing Street needed to make some concessions to the Scottish government during upcoming Brexit negotiations so that Sturgeon does not feel obliged to call a new referendum.
"The advice to the UK government is this: You need to give the Scottish government something on Brexit so that Nicola Sturgeon has got a way out [of calling a referendum]," he said.
"The risk the UK government is taking at the moment is that it's not offering the Scottish government a way out, and is therefore potentially leaving it with no choice but to take what — from the Scottish government's own perspective — is one hell of a risk, but is also one hell of a risk for the UK government."
Curtice said the "way out" for the UK government was to offer Scotland something from their list of Brexit demands, such as giving Scotland the right to determined its own immigration policy. He said there was "quite a lot of cross-party support for the idea," even among pro-unionist MPs.
"Doing that and saying that, as a result, Scotland can apply freedom of movement — or something close to it — would give the Scottish government something," he said.
Curtice also suggested that it would also be possible for Westminster to devolve VAT policy to Holyrood after Brexit.
He added: "They probably won't want to give Scotland [concessions on] the single market, but the UK government could simply say: 'Look, we want to get as much access to the single market as the Scottish government wants to achieve, we're simply asking about how to get there, but we will continue to talk to the Scottish government about how best to do this.'"
"Again, it would give them a way out," he said.
The UK government "might be advised to find a warmer tone"
Downing Street's own position on a fresh referendum is increasingly unclear. Asked on Monday whether Downing Street would veto a second referendum, a spokesperson for the prime minister told Business Insider: "The question is not 'could there be another referendum' but 'should there be a referendum,' and the answer to that is no."
Pushed again on whether a referendum would be vetoed by Downing Street, they said: "I'm not getting into the hypotheticals."
Curtice said: "It would be sufficiently risky for the UK government that it would be wise to avoid a confrontation. So far they are avoiding saying 'No,' but so far [Scotland's demands] have been greeted with a very large amount of cold water."
He said that Downing Street "might be advised to find a warmer tone."

WWE 2K18 Review
Ah, the wonderful world of wrestling. Where larger than life characters go head to head in epic matches that will stand the test of time. I used to have quite a fondness for wrestling myself, but I kind of grew out of it as I got older. It just didn't have the same kick it used to and a lot of the punch had begun to falter. With that being said though, that's where the video games come in for me.
The WWE games give me a chance to relive those older, more brutal days of the organization with a vast selection of matches to choose from. WWE 2K18 is no exception as it brings together a significant amount of content with its arrival. The title returns with old features like WWE Universe, MyCareer Mode, Multiplayer and, of course, Exhibition. There's a little something in there for everyone. I did notice however that there were a few matches that didn't make an appearance, such as the Buried Alive match, nor could I find the Special Guest Referee match. Now, these aren't points against the game, but the lack of content that was added in other, more recent installments, is a bit puzzling to say the least.
Aside from the features, what're the things any WWE title should have? Characters. A large, well-rounded selection of characters so that you and your buddies can play out any amount of "who would win between..." arguments. All in all, I really enjoyed the amount of depth there was in 2K18's character choice. You have favourites like Bret Hart and Bam Bam Bigelow, as well as some more… odder choices such as the Godfather. The only problem is unlocking each of these superstars is a chore. You have to play through multiple matches and do any number of moves so you can get the best score to get points which will help you get closer to unlocking a new wrestler. There is another option, though, you can purchase the Accelerator online and unlock everything right away, but that's already another six or seven dollar purchase on top of what you already paid for the game. Seems like the developers just could have made unlocking easier, but hey, it ain't a WWE game if you aren't needlessly unlocking the best characters.
Regardless of this, the game itself plays fine despite a couple of issues (the usual character glitches that one gets from these titles). There are some aspects of the game, however, where things can get pretty annoying. Overall, I'd say it's difficult from a control perspective. It's just one of those things where you would assume that after having worked on a couple games, the developers would have polished up their titles a little more before release. I can't be too upset though, since things aren't as terrible in-game as they were in WWE 2K15, which I still hold has my personal "worst of all time." So yes, there's a little ways to go in some areas. Especially with things such as the Ladder match, where the mini-game to get the briefcase down is, for lack of a better description, not very good. Despite this, I'm sure the formula and gameplay for future entries will become more solid in structure as the series goes along.
So with the gameplay aspect out of the way, where does the multiplayer fit in? Well, 2K18 proudly continues the tradition of having an online community where the players are more interesting than the game itself. In more times than I could count, people stopped caring about the match entirely and were more focused on running around the ring and breaking the game world as much as they could. And you know what? Those were the most memorable experiences! I'd go into another match where people were actually wrestling and would legitimately say "this isn't what I want" and leave. So I have to give two thumbs up for the multiplayer as it never seems to dull with the new releases into the franchise.
So with everything taken into account is WWE 2K18 worth the price of admission? While normally I'd just say yes and that's that, but this time I'm going to have to say yes with a bit of hesitance. Hear me out, the content for this title is plentiful and does give you a good selection of things to unlock, but you're pretty much going to have to pay for a good portion of unlockables if you don't want to be stuck grinding out points match after match. As well, the matches themselves are all well and good entertainment wise, but the control scheme can be a pain to get used to in the long run. Like I mentioned before though, the multiplayer is, at least for me, the best part of the game. So yes, there are some positive aspects to WWE 2K18, but if I were you, I'd just wait for a price drop so you can get better overall value.
WWE 2K18 is rated PEGI 16 and is available on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC, and will follow in the Autumn 2017 for Nintendo Switch™
WWE 2K18 (Reviewed on PlayStation 4)
Game is enjoyable, outweighing the issues there may be.
While WWE 2K18 does hit enough right notes for a recommendation, it still leaves something to be desired. As much as I like the style of these newer games, I miss being able to be as nonsensical as the older ones would allow. All in all, it's a toss-up for me.

The development of targeted tools for therapy is a major focus in oncology. A new study by investigators at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey at University Hospital, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and colleagues from the University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center and New Mexico-based Specifica, Inc., describes what they call a "major advance" to a screening technique they pioneered that searches for molecular signatures intrinsic to normal or diseased tissues.
The screening process, which can be described as a "molecular mass mailing" to all addresses in the body, employs billions of viral particles, called phage. Initially, the particles were packaged with small fragments of proteins called peptides that act as ligands. When injected into the body, they bind to specific markers. The peptides travel until they find a target and bind to it, then one can recover and identify them.
This latest approach elucidates a new strategy to develop anti-tumor monoclonal human recombinant antibodies.
The methodology known as SPARTA (Selection of Phage-display Accessible Recombinant Targeted Antibodies) is based on in vivo target receptor identification followed by in vivo antibody selection, using phage/yeast display, deep sequencing, and bio-informatics analyses.
SPARTA focuses on tumor-specific markers that are accessible through the circulation. Targeting such markers "promises to accelerate the development of antibody-based drugs for general and personalized medicine," shares co-senior author Renata Pasqualini, PhD, researcher at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey at University Hospital and chief of the Division of Cancer Biology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. "Using SPARTA, we were able to successfully isolate a large set of genetically engineered human antibodies that can be manufactured in a cost-effective and efficient way, therefore, accelerating their development towards first-in-human studies."
SPARTA was first tested in animal models with human lung and breast cancers. The team isolated and validated several human genetically engineered antibodies (recombinant), which targeted tumors when injected into the blood stream. "By applying these recombinant antibodies in mice bearing human tumors, we were able to isolate those that are capable of targeting cancer markers in their native conformation, therefore minimizing the risk of failure in later steps of drug development," notes co-lead author Fernanda Staquicini, PhD, a researcher at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey at University Hospital and assistant professor of radiation oncology at Rutgers New Jersey medical school.
The authors also showed that recombinant human antibodies isolated with the SPARTA methodology remain functional, which is key. "The antibodies generated in this study can be used as carriers for potent chemotherapeutics, an application that would largely benefit patients suffering from significant side effects of available treatment options," adds Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey at University Hospital Director Wadih Arap, MD, PhD, who is also the chief of the Division of Hematology/Oncology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and another author on the paper.

Despite telling Sporza that he believed his team would exercise an early termination to his contract, Klaas Vantornout will remain with Marlux-Napoleon Games, as team manager Jurgen Mettepenningen and Vantornout agreed to continue for the final year of his contract.
"A solid argument does not always lead to a divorce," the team said in a statement.
"We were both said we were sorry about what happened this weekend while talking during our appointment," said Mettepenningen. "My respect and gratitude for what Klaas has done over the last nine years for our team has always remained high. And that's why I'm glad we came to a new agreement, so that Klaas can continue his career with us. We both feel good about it."
"I have always felt good in this team," said Vantornout. "The team management, my teammates, the entourage, we all hang out together. That's why I'm so glad we can continue together.
"I spoke today with Jurgen about what was said this weekend, and being mature it's forgive and forget. We can start with a clean slate in my tenth year with the team, and that's a great relief."
