It won't get better than the last ball finish in a final, and it is exactly what transpired in Hyderabad as Chennai Super Kings lost by 1 run in a nail-biting finish. It was Chennai's match to lose all the way as they were not in control of the game for the most part of it. First up Chennai restricted Mumbai to a par score on a decent batting surface with Deepak Chahar and Imran Tahir bagging 3 & 2 wickets respectively. Later in the chase, Chennai got a good start, but after the Powerplay, Mumbai found ways to chip in with wickets in the middle overs. At the end, Chennai once again seemed to have found themselves in the driving seat with Watson's smashing innings, but it didn't last long as Mumbai somehow managed to defend 8 runs in the final over.
Shane Watson
He was the lone warrior for Chennai in the chase, as he played a characteristic knock under pressure and almost took his team home. He was slow to start in the innings as Duplessis took the aggressor role but after his departure, it was all Watson for Chennai. He kept the scoreboard moving and made sure to pull things back whenever Mumbai found momentum. He was the top point scorer in the match with 54 fantasy points.
Quinton de Kock
He was the only batsman from Mumbai who dominated proceedings with the bat. He provided the team with a great start as he took the Chennai opening bowlers to the cleaners in the first couple of overs. Later in the second innings, he proved to be more than handy behind the stumps, as he accumulated 3 dismissals with his glove work. He made 36.5 points overall in the match.
Kieron Pollard
If not for his crucial knock at the back end of the innings, Mumbai would have settled for a below par score. His knock provided the much-needed lift for Mumbai in a precarious situation. He took Chennai bowlers to the cleaners in the end overs after a cautious start to his innings. He made 27 fantasy points in the match and proved to be a worthy pick for all the fantasy cricket players.
Deepak Chahar
He bowled an expectational spell in the match, as he bounced back after Decock's onslaught in his second over. He came up with a wicket maiden over later in the innings and also proved to be effective in the slog overs where he picked two more wickets. He outlived the expectations of fantasy cricket players as he made 36 fantasy points.
Jasprit Bumrah
He was the game changer for Mumbai with the ball, as he came up with an impressive spell of 2/14. He was as good as ever, with his overs in the chase turned out to be game-changing. He never allowed Chennai batsmen to settle with his variations and accurate bowling. He certainly lived up to the expectations of fantasy cricket players as he made 25 points in the match.
Suresh Raina
He was never in control throughout his stay at the crease. His knock hadn't come in handy for Chennai as he used up too many deliveries which in turn put more pressure on the batsmen who followed next. In the first innings, he also dropped a crucial catch which made a difference of 10-15 runs to the total. He made only 8 points in the match.
Ambati Rayudu
He failed to live up to the expectations of fantasy cricket players, as he couldn't contribute much in the chase. He departed early in his innings as he failed to execute the pull shot to perfection. He made only 2 points in the match.
We have performed decently with our predictions in the match. We were spot on with the captain choice and we got most of the top performers in our best grand league. If we had predicted a couple of top performing bowlers, we would have nailed the dream team.

EMORY, Va. (AP) — A college marching band from Virginia is one of two representing the U.S. in a parade that will end in St. Peter's Square in Rome for the pope's New Year's blessing.
The Bristol Herald Courier reports the Emory & Henry College band will perform in the parade on Jan. 1.
A total of 67 students will make the seven-day trip.
The private liberal arts school in southwest Virginia restarted its marching band four years ago after a 50-year absence. The band has more than doubled its size and now has a total of 90 students.
The band regularly plays at footballs games and performs in exhibitions.
The trip will also include a service project focused on people experiencing hunger and homelessness

20,000 financing for the Arsenal Museum in Amalfi by the Campania Region
The investment will transform the museum into a must-visit place for tourists
- March 31, 2019 17:00
- Monika Dimitrova
The sum of 20,000 euros for the Arsenal Museum was awarded by the Campania Region to the Municipality of Amalfi. The project is the first entirely funded under the public notice for access to "contributions to support interventions and activities aimed at developing, promoting and enhancing museums and collections, for local authorities and local interest, and related services ". With a score of 75, the project idea aims to improve the exhibition of the "Museo della Bussola" and the "Ducato Marinaro" which is based at the Arsenal Museum. This goal is part of a more comprehensive plan to revive its cultural offer, in particular with regard to the renewed centrality of its cultural sites, the diversification of different types of public, medium-long term planning of its investments and the evaluation of the results of its policies.
"The proposed intervention is a key step towards a substantial process of redevelopment of the "Museo della Bussola" and the "Ducato Marinaro" - explains the Councilor for Culture of the Municipality of Amalfi, Enza Cobalto - with whom the administration aims to achieve high quality standards, indispensable not only for the attractiveness of the museum towards users/visitors but for the consolidation of its strong social value for the local community and the protection of the asset in a future perspective".
The final aim is to make the museum an educational facility at the service of the community of residents, in particular for the younger generations and at the same time transform the museum into a must-visit place for tourists, above all as a place of historical significance, and therefore as a stimulus to understanding the city, its places and local traditions.

Why Does Organic Taste so Good?
by Toni Salter
For a variety of reasons, people are cooking meals at home more often and there are now television networks devoted entirely to cooking shows.
Celebrity chefs are turning out wonderful meals in 30 minutes, while basic home cooks are serving up 3 course gastronomic delights under the sometimes grueling and stressful conditions of TV challenges.
While we at home may follow every step and the dishes may look great, oftentimes the challenges are won or lost on the taste test.
Our dish may look the same, however when it comes to taste, what makes one dish better than the other? It is true that individual taste is subjective and much of the population has diluted their palette with too much fat and sugar to really appreciate subtleties.
There is one thing that most chefs agree on, that they overwhelmingly prefer organic produce to that which is conventionally grown. Chefs prefer organically grown ingredients, not so much for environmental or moral reasons, for these professionals, it is all about taste.
Organic food simply tastes better, or so the reasoning goes. Is there any logic to this? Is there an underlying reason why this might be the case… or perhaps just a ploy to get us to pay more for their designer dishes?
Scientific research has actually weighed in and suggests a reason for the difference in taste.
The UK Soil Association review (2001) found that on average, conventionally grown produce tends to contain more water than organic produce, which contains more dry matter (20 percent more) for a given weight.
This extra water, in effect, dilutes the conventional produce and perhaps explains the more "intense" flavor in its organic counterparts. The review showed that the higher water content of conventional produce also tends to dilute the nutrient content. So, organic produce is not only tastier but also a lot more nutrient dense.
Another factor contributing to the flavor of organic produce is the vine ripening. Organic produce is allowed to ripen fully before harvesting, developing all the natural sugars.
Unlike conventionally grown produce, organic produce is not harvested green and kept in refrigerated storage until such time that demand dictates their arrival by artificial ripening processes.
The best produce of all, it could be argued, is organic homegrown produce. Produce sold at the market is grown for its ability to withstand being transported, sometimes many hundreds or thousands of miles.
As a result, both organic and conventional varieties can often be chosen based on qualities other than taste.
A home grown variety, rich in flavor and developing into a very soft fruit at maturity can be far superior than the limited choices offered at any store.
We may not all be master chefs, but most of us know a great tasting home grown tomato when we bite into one.
If you are still in doubt about the superior taste of organic produce… watch Hammy the hamster's taste test video. Here is an unlikely taste tester without any celebrity chef bias.

Aug 27 2016
Another hot muggy day here and looks like more in store for next week. Last night we took the daughter in law and grandson out to eat at a great Mexican place here. After we ate the grandson mowed the grass for me.
I needed to edge and trim the back yard today but just too hot & muggy. Instead I removed the smoke stack from my Traeger, cleaned it out, sanded and repainted. I had burnt a lot of the powder coat off from emptying the auger without the heat shield in place. Don't do that! Just one auger full of pellets was enough my display read 675 deg. and sparks were showing in the smoke cap.
I also cleaned and sanded the front of the barrel under the lid. It had some corrosion from dripping sauces down it. I used some Rustoliem Ultra High Heat Black Semi-Gloss to repaint. Now other than the lid being scorched on the bottom it almost looks new.
I ask the wife if she wanted a hamburger or brat burger for supper. She said brat burger so that's what I fixed. I went to the farmers market today and got some nice small Kennebec potatoes then went to my butcher Kah Meats and got 4 cheese brats. I had wanted his standard brats but he didn't have any in the counter. I wanted to use fresh and not frozen so thought I would try them even though I never tried them in a patty.
You can't beat Kah's brats and plenty of choices; he makes 17 different styles and keeps a good supply of them in the freezer. They are in vacuum sealed packs of 4. His brats are all in natural casings made from fresh pork, ingredients and seasoning, no preservatives. Some styles he does use an anticaking agent. Next time you get some store bought brats look at all the preservatives that are in them.
Rain was coming this way so was going to do the brat burgers in my Traeger using the back side of grill grates. I used my Cuisinart 3 in 1 burger press removing the meat from the casing. The first one I made was a little messy so I washed the press and sprayed with a little olive oil that was better but not great I washed again and just used cold water and that worked pretty well. I got 4 nice patties made up and in the fridge to set up some.
I fired up my Traeger and eased the temp to 325 deg. grill level. I nuked two of the Kennebec potatoes for 2 minutes then mashed and a pat of butter on top. They went in a basket and on the smoker about 5 minutes before the brat burgers. I sprayed the grill grates with some olive oil and the brat burgers were on about a half hour turning half way. I sprayed the potatoes a couple times with olive oil.
It all tasted great; my wife had mustard tomato and dill pickle on her sandwich. I had mustard and a slice of Vidalia onion on mine with tomatoes on the side.

I am a turtle runner. I am a new runner. I like to run slow.
This is okay with me, because I am "in training." I am not a pro at this.
It's Sunday and I've gotten in my FIRST long run of my half marathon training! Yipee!
I tackled a sweaty 4 miles this morning. My alarm beeped at 6:30 and I was out the door! For the first mile or so, my legs felt like tree trunks filled with led. My stomach felt wierd from all the delicious pub fare last night…can we say CARB overload?
Before I knew it I was rounding out three miles and I pushed on through the neighborhood till I was back at the front door.
I patted myself on the back as I walked in the refreshing, cold AC. I showered, dressed and made a batch of whipped banana oats. YUM.
The melty peanut butter that I add to the center is my favorite part. I eat all around it and save the middle for last.
It's like heaven. You should eat this now.
It's a lazy day now…its all grey and muggy outside and the couch and Food Network is calling my name!
What is your favorite post-run meal or snack?

The New York Times reported Goldman Earns $3.19 Billion, Beating Estimates and this on a Tier-1 capital ratio of 14.5%. Goldman has the second highest Tier-1 capital ratio after State Street. Most banks are now in the 10%-12% range with US Government assistance. This is a far cry from the original Basel II requirement of 4%, and Tier-1 capital ratios of 14.5% would have been considered insane in the pre-2007 days.
Goldman Sachs is sending important market signals:
1. Well managed banks can make good profits in spite of "insane" Tier-1 ratios.
2. My guess is that Goldman Sachs is expecting a second asset value collapse soon as this firm has been steadily increasing its Tier-1 ratio and its risk adjusted capital since 2008. See my post Quant Error! Goldman Sachs Success.
What does all this mean? Well lets look at all the facts.
1. A total of 106 regional banks failed in the United States this year, a figure not seen since 1992.
2. 15.1 million people are unemployed and counting coupled with a jobless recovery. That means prime mortgages are defaulting at unprecedented rates.
3. Many banks are in denial about their current viability and are resorting to giving incorrect information to their customers. In particular:
3.1 These banks' credit card operations are telling their customers that they are not part of the banking business and therefore did not receive TARP, when the banks did receive TARP.
3.2 Some banks are telling their customers to take out loans on the other collateral they have and use it to pay off their existing loans.
3.3 Other banks are telling their customer that they have no access to TARP funds or any government assistance and therefore have to foreclose on their customers' properties.
Points 1, 2 & 3 by themselves just show that the mortgage mess is pretty bad. But add that to what Goldman Sachs is doing – Tier-1 of 14.5% – then that, in my opinion, suggests that Goldman Sachs does not have much confidence in the economy. I hope I'm wrong but it is better to be aware of the downside risk then to walk around in rose tinted glasses.

On 13 March, 2019, the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU hosted an event dedicated to promoting Holocaust remembrance and combatting Holocaust denial through memorial museums in Bucharest. The event was opened by the speech of the Prime-Minister of Romania, Ms. Viorica Dancila, who recalled that the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU has set the subject of combatting antisemitism as one of its main agenda priorities. The main objective of the event was to facilitate an exchange of views on the future National Museum of Jewish History and of the Holocaust in Romania- one of the most important ongoing projects in Romania on Holocaust remembrance and education.
The event was co-organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, the Elie Wiesel National Institute for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Romania and the Bnai Brith Dr. Moses Rosen Forum Romania. It was attended by approximately 100 persons, including representatives of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Yad Vashem, the International Holocaust Remembrance as well as scholars and academia.
Ambassador Michael Baier, Head of the Austrian Delegation to the IHRA, moderated the first expert panel of the event and gave an address on behalf of the IHRA. He underlined Romania's contribution to the adoption of the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism during its chairmanship in 2016-2017 as well as the role of memorial museums in promoting Holocaust education and combatting hate crimes and hate speech, both online and offline.
The conference was part of a series of events dedicated to combatting antisemitism and Holocaust denial that the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU has envisaged.

Gossip singer Beth Ditto has claimed that too many modern albums are clogged up with "filler".
Speaking to Elle magazine, the frontwoman insisted that she and her bandmates had tried to make sure their latest LP 'A Joyful Noise' was a consistent record, rather than putting out a LP which boasted just a handful of singles.
She said:
We've made an album of songs. So many albums are a couple of singles, then filler.
Ditto also admitted that she didn't expect fans to buy her band's records if they hadn't seen them in concert, adding: "I wouldn't buy our records if I hadn't seen us live first. Gossip is a band you want to go and see."
'A Joyful Noise', which was released on May 14, is the Gossip's first album since their 2009 effort 'Music For Men'. The LP was produced by Brian Higgins from pop production company Xenomania and Mark Ronson.
Speaking previously about working with Ronson, Ditto told NME: "One of our most common bonds was that we both loved big voices, church voices. He loves country music, which is a big deal to me because, you know, in terms of things I love, country music is probably number one, then it's punk and hip-hop."
However, Ronson subsequently revealed that he decided to end his sessions with the band on the album after the death of his former collaborator Amy Winehouse, as he realised that the chemistry between him and Ditto and co wasn't "amazing" and he felt they were "forcing something".

IF PART OF OUR somewhat dated model of heroic greatness in the arts seems to be the neglect and misunderstanding of our artists in their day, then let's get a head start on the (perhaps) inevitable—a long-overdue reassessment and appreciation of the work of Yoko Ono. Much of the neglect of Ono is a subdivision of the lack of interest that has obscured many of the important artists who, like her, were part of the Fluxus movement, which, in the '60s, brought together a number of diverse talents in an inspired proliferation of events, publications, and other activities under the umbrella of an elusive sensibility. Considering the remarkable multimedia experimentation and antiestablishment spirit of Fluxus, as well as its rebellious resistance to institutionalization, the art market's long exclusion of the movement (and the recent signs of renewed interest in it, or coopting embrace of it)

When you visit the website for the newest major development in Las Vegas, you are taken on a stomach-dropping virtual sweep up, over, around and through the new city-within-a-city funded by MGM Mirage and designed by a bevy of starchitects. CityCenter takes up 67 acres in a city already packed with casinos and hotels. But, the project's representatives says, "In sharp contrast to the rest of the Strip, the architects created a development of pure, unadorned modernism."
For those of you lamenting the possibility that this development might not offer the over-the-top bells and whistles typical of Vegas, we have assurances from Alissa Walker who is reporting live from the grand opening, that "hot pink watersparks" are in full effect, alongside Cirque de Soleil performing on trampolines to an Elvis soundtrack. Also in attendance this week are some of the project architects and designers, the long list of whom includes Daniel Libeskind, Norman Foster, Helmut Jahn, Cesar Pelli, Rafael Vinoly, Maya Lin and more.
Breaking records as the largest private development in US history, CityCenter is also working to raise the bar on sustainable building, which could seem surprising given that it's a massive cluster of luxury buildings in the middle of the desert. But as a wise associate reminded me recently, if you're going to do a project like this, it's a lot better to approach it with sustainability in mind. The development has its own power plant that uses cogeneration to product both electricity and heat. Inside there are high-efficiency bulbs, low-flow plumbing and Energy Star appliances, outside there multi-glaze windows and white roofs. Renewable materials were used whenever possible. According to the folks at CityCenter, the amount of energy they saved by approaching the design in this way "is equal to the average annual power use of 7,700 homes."
With these strategies and many others, including a dedicated mass transit system and an integrated recycling plan that includes the reuse of water, they anticipate a LEED Gold certification for the entire development. But of course that's probably not the main reason to visit. The main reason is to experience Vegas packaged in the work of some of the world's most admired modern architects. If you really fall in love with it, you can even live there.

Rider Reviews
Written Directions- Start in Wayland, MA.
- Head South on Rt 27, keep an eye out for signs through Sharon and Stoughton, as there are some turns made.
SceneryThis route is designed to provide a safe, sane, and less congested route to Cape Cod. Except for the deck around the bridges (which you cannot avoid), it's the best way to get down there.
Drive EnjoymentMostly fine secondary roads, with stops through towns. You can hop onto this route, if you are traveling from Boston, by getting on Rt 138 on the Boston Milton line, and following it down to Rt 106 East, where you can pick up on the directions. Once you get to Orleans on the Cape, and Rts 28, 6 and 6A merge, you'll be sitting in traffic until you get to Truro, and you can pull off 6, when 6A appears again, to lead you along the shore into Provincetown.
Tourism Opportunities6A on the Cape, you go through some of the prettiest, and least touristy parts of Cape Cod. Yarmouth Port, Dennis, and Brewster have lots of spots to stop, and shop, or eat. If you are planning to go to Hyannis, Yarmouth, or Chatham; stay on 6A, and connect down on one of the smaller routes. While on the Cape, do what you can to stay off of 6 and 28. People drive like banshees on RT 6, and Rt 28 is one big strip mall, and you'll get carpal tunnel syndrome holding your clutch in. There's many campgrounds, and the Cape Cod National Seashore. If you camp on the Cape, be aware that there are tons of coyotes, especially around the Seashore, so lock away your food.

I'd like to make an amendment to the route. I'd say stick on rt 106 all the way until it meets/merges with 3a and then take 3a to the Sagamore bridge and you can stay on 6a or head to your Cape destination. 3a takes you down through "down town" Plymouth, expect a little congestion through all of the shops and restaurants, after that its just miles of scenic driving along the coast to the Cape.

I didn't find this route to be as scenic as I hoped. I came from Boston, so I hopped on the route starting from I-93 to Rt. 138. There were a lot of two lane roads, of mostly good quality. However, not much scenery. I much prefer the Rt. 1A up north in Cape Ann.

The Big Data qualities of Volume, Velocity, Variety, and Veracity contribute to the creation of the following Big Data Gaps: Data Consistency, Data Integrity, Data Identification, Data Aggregation, and Data Confidentiality. These Big Data Gaps create challenges for current CA systems. The paper outlines possible solutions to these gaps along with needed research topics with the aim of increasing the applicability of continuous auditing systems to Big Data. Big Data is a business phenomenon that is here to stay, and CA systems need to adapt to its challenges.

The authors conclude that companies should consider the potential costs of using a rotational staffing model in the internal audit function and, if adopting this practice, should ensure the appropriate compensating controls are in place to mitigate such costs. The evidence on the consequences of systematic rotation will also be interesting to investors, boards of directors, audit committees, and management. These stakeholders rely on the IAF to monitor financial reporting, and they can benefit from evidence about how systematic rotation affects financial reporting quality. Furthermore, regulators and standard setters, such as the IIA, would benefit from understanding how these rotational assignments affect financial reporting quality and what organizations can do to address the potential consequences.

This article provides a concise introduction to Big Data analytics by providing examples of Big Data success stories in non-audit fields and drawing auditing parallels. It then indicates several characteristics of Big Data which should be considered when implementing Big Data analytics, specifically as they relate to audit procedures.
Cao, M., R. Chychyla, and T. Stewart. 2015. Big data analytics in financial statement audits. Accounting Horizons 29 (2): 423-429.
The authors outline potential pitfalls in the use of big data noted in auditing and psychology literature. Specifically, they focus on areas in which auditor decision making may be negatively influenced. They note that big data may lead to inefficient and/or incorrect decisions resulting from having too much information, not being able to determine what is relevant to the decision, not finding correct patterns in the data/finding incorrect patterns, and having data which may be too ambiguous to be used effectively. They then outline potential solutions to these problems, such as having decision aids, fitting the task to the system to auditor experience level, and providing contextual ("big picture") training.

Incorporating Big Data into an audit poses several challenges. This article establishes how Big Data analytics satisfy requirements of audit evidence, namely that it is sufficient, reliable, and relevant. The authors bring up practical challenges (such as transferring information, privacy protection, and integration with traditional audit evidence) and provide suggestions for addressing them in incorporating Big Data into audit evidence. They also suggest that Big Data can complement tradition audit evidence at every level of audit evidence: financial statement, individual account, and audit objective.
Yoon, K., L. Hoogduin, and L. Zhang. 2015. Big data as complementary audit evidence. Accounting Horizons 29 (2): 431-438.
Analytical procedures are used frequently and increasingly are relied upon as substantive evidence. Based on this study, auditors are insensitive to the impreciseness of the analytical procedure when the results are favorable and may be a cause for over-reliance on weak evidence. Performing a stronger, more precise analytical procedure caused participants in the favorable outcome situation to become more aware of the weakness of the initial procedure and re-evaluate their evidence strength rating. Further, evidence suggests that having auditors consider the possible weaknesses of an analytical procedure prior to performing the procedure will cause them to rate the strength of the evidence from a weak analytical procedure lower. Overall, this suggests a need to better train auditors in performing and interpreting analytical procedures.
In a discussion of Glover et al.'s paper, McDaniel asks whether the findings may indicate that auditors in the unfavorable outcome (i.e. there is a material difference) are under-relying on the evidence rather than that auditors in the favorable outcome (no material difference) are over-relying on the evidence. Glover et al. respond that the over-relying of the evidence is of concern to regulators and the alternative does not explain all of the results. McDaniel also notes that the case study was of a company in the financial industry but that the participants were not required to have any financial industry experience. Glover et al. note that the interest income item is the issue which is not specific to the industry or complicated. McDaniel also notes concerns about a potential "anchoring" effect as the participants performed their analytical procedures based on prior year working paper results. In response, Glover et al. discuss this feature of an audit.

This study makes an original contribution to the development of new knowledge on internal auditing. It concludes that internal auditors tend to lack independence and audit committee members often exercise disturbingly weak power (on the internal audit function), as compared to the top managers. This points to the difficulty of applying an idealized conception of independence and purist governance principles to practice. That is, it encourages auditors to consider the appropriateness of internal auditing as a meaningful independent assurance device in operating the corporate governance "mosaic."

The findings have important implications for audit firms that use information technology to facilitate engagement monitoring. The system improves audit review effectiveness and increases the frequency and timeliness of auditor interaction. The design of an audit support system can impact reviewer effectiveness. When used as a process control, audit support systems can have unintended consequences for auditor behavior and audit team interaction.

Presumptive doubt has a greater effect on auditors' skeptical judgments when client risks are higher than does neutrality. In particular, auditors with higher levels of presumptive doubt exhibit pronounced skeptical judgments and decisions in the higher control environment risk setting.
Since the findings indicate inversed RIT is a better predictor of desired auditor skeptical judgments, this measure warrants further consideration in practice to develop adequate recruitment, staffing, and training guidance. Also a consideration for practice and future research is whether quality control processes, such as audit reviews, mitigate cases where auditors lack sufficient individual skepticism.
Quadackers, L., Groot, T., & Wright, A. 2014. Auditors' Professional Skepticism: Neutrality versus Presumptive Doubt. Contemporary Accounting Research 31 (3): 639-657.
For practice, the authors provide evidence about the relation between control deficiencies and substantive tests in the integrated audit. A significant minority of senior auditors attempt to identify bias in an accounting estimate with increased sampling from the biased estimation process, though they have been told that the estimation process is biased. The authors provide theory consistent empirical evidence that auditors often reach questionable, optimistic judgments about the capability of audit evidence to address control deficiencies. Auditors will often revert to what they know best, and it is difficult to get people to look beyond the familiar, regardless of experience level.

Homebrew has long been a highlight of the game-development scene, but publishing new carts for old consoles is going mainstream. The Verge's Andrew Webster writes that several such titles are soon to be released, mostly for classic Nintendo boxes.

For some, it's a hobby, a fun way to experiment with programming and design techniques. For others, it's a way to pay homage to game experiences that have long gone out of fashion. Sometimes it's a little of both. In 2010 Xbox co-founder Ed Fries created a stripped-down version of Halo designed for the Atari 2600, while Paul Koller has made a name porting modern indie games to the Commodore 64. Most of these games are released for free, and playable through an emulator on a PC.
For Long, the decision to not only create a retro homebrew game, but release it on a cartridge, was made because he wanted to embrace the limitations of a device like the NES. "The goal was to craft a tightly controlled experience," he explains. While Star Versus is a decidedly 8-bit game, as a competitive shooter it also pulls from modern game design techniques. Long was also interested in restricting himself to the NES controller, something that wouldn't be possible if people played the game through a PC emulator. "There were obvious downsides to only being on cartridge, such as limited exposure and difficulty in demoing," he says. "But I'm happy with the choice I made, at least for this game."

These 2.5 gallon ball lock kegs have reinvigorated my homebrewing hobby. I now have 6 of them in rotation and bottling is no longer a giant, messy pain.
The upsides to kegging, for me, are myriad. No more clumsy bottle filler. No more sanitizing cases of empty glass bottles. No more stinky, sticky bug filled bottle collection waiting to be cleaned. At its simplest, you siphon your beer from your fermenter into the keg and seal it up.
The only nuance is carbonation. You can bottle/cask condition in the keg, but you need less sugar (about 1/2-1/3 of what you'd normally use.) If you'd rather, it is also very easy to force carbonate your beer with CO2 and skip the entire bottling sugar step.
I use this handy CO2 charger and this tap, force carbonation is harder with them but it can be done. If you buy a more complex CO2 filling system, it gets quite easy.
Refrigerate a keg for 24-36 hrs before serving. It takes a while to cool them down!
Kegging was a major step in simplifying my homebrew process. Without the mess of bottling this hobby became fun again.

Improvements in instrumentation and data analysis havemade nanoindentation the method of choice for measuringthe mechanical properties of very small volumes of material,particularly for thin films and coatings such as auto paint,TiN coatings for extending the life of cutting tools andsurface films on computer hard disk drive surfaces. Problemsarise in the marketplace if a manufacturer tries to makeproperties measured by nanoindentation part of a productspecification, because there is currently only one internationalstandard test method (and none in the United States) forperforming the nanoindentation tests, and procedures forverifying the performance of such testing machines arepresently inadequate. There is an approved internationalstandard in ISO (ISO/DIS 14577–1, 2, 3) entitled 'metallicmaterials—instrumented indentation test for hardness andmaterials parameters' but it deals solely with the testing of bulkmaterials.

Look out, PlayStation, XBox and Nintendo. At the big Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Google announced that some time this year it will launch its own gaming platform, called Stadia, that can be used seamlessly and interchangeably on laptops, desktops, tablet and TV via Chromecast.
It won't need a special console player like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo game systems do, though Google also introduced a controller that has some extras players might want.
And when it launches, it will support 4K, 60-frame-per-second video performance — and later, even 8K.
Near the end of its presentation, Google dropped this nugget: It's moving into the business of producing games, with an offshoot called Stadia Games and Entertainment.
But one big undisclosed detail could tell a lot: How much will Stadia cost? Google did not immediately respond to a Marketing Daily inquiry.
Phil Harrison, Google vice president and general manager, said Stadia will launch first in the U.S., U.K., Canada and parts of Europe. Though he gave no more exact timetable, he mentioned a later update this summer when Google would be able to announce more details.
As Harrison pointed out in his portion of the presentation, there are two billion game players, making it the "single biggest form of entertainment on the planet."
It's just not the number of players that fascinates Google, but the worldwide fan base. Ryan Wyatt, global head of gaming partnerships at Google and head of gaming at YouTube, said 200 million watch gamers play on YouTube every day. Altogether, he said, they watched an astonishing 50 billion hours of of gaming content on YouTube in 2018 alone.
A procession of Google executives appeared on stage, some to give technical data and others detailing information about how game makers, players and fans would see a superior product.
Google's cloud capacity and worldwide network, executives said, will let Stadia
become a new entry point for game developers, just as YouTube created a legion of videographers and personalities. The company also promises its technology will make Stadia twice as fast as
PlayStation 4 and XBox One combined.
And players can join in as easily as clicking on a game, which can be on the screen in five seconds, without a patch, with no
download and no updating.
Google CEO Sundar Pinchai told the crowd of developers that Google had been working on what's been called "Project Stream" for
the last two years. "We wanted a game platform for everyone. And we mean everyone."
And that could change everything.
If Stadia does all that executives said it can do — from making access to games easier and creating a pipeline for new game-makers to get into the business, to creating a new graphics template that makes those designs easier — it seemingly would be on its way to redefining what is now a $180 billion game business.

Put away the chewing gum. Think twice about jaywalking. And don't feed the birds. That's right, DPG spent the last week in Singapore for the 2018 Asian Dive Expo, or ADEX. Celebrating its 24th anniversary, this event has grown larger and larger each year, attracting tens of thousands of divers from across Asia—and the world.
This year's edition was dedicated to sharks, featuring presentations from dozens of experts including underwater photographers, conservationists, filmmakers, freedivers, and—landlubbers-be-wary—mermaids.
Sights and Speakers
ADEX features a gathering of the best in the underwater industry to present on a variety of topics. Seriously, check out this list of underwater photographers: Laurent Ballesta, Scott Tuason, Aaron Wong, Amanda Cotton, Ernie Brooks, Jason Isley, Imran Ahmad, Michael Aw, Marty Snyderman, Tobias Friedrich, and Tanya Houppermans. And there are many, many more who presented in the three-day show.
In addition to underwater imaging experts, the exposition featured presentations from some of the world's top freedivers, scientists, and entrepreneurs. There was certainly a lot to take in.

Gear and Gadgets
It's always great to catch up with the friendly faces on the show floor. But if we can be real for a second, we must admit that the new gear has much of our attention as well. While not the photo equipment launch pad that is DEMA, ADEX still had a great showing of gear manufacturers such as Fantasea, Seacam, and Nauticam.
Howard Rosenstein from Fantasea displayed the company's latest housings and new port partnership with AOI
Our reviewer called the a6500 and Fantasea housing a "versatile rig that can deliver a high-quality final product"
Fantasea continues its housing support for Sony's popular compact line, such as this RX100V
The FG7X II setup is one of the company's most popular, according to Howard
Two new Fantasea releases: an LED flash trigger (left) and a spare battery cradle
Nauticam's Edward Lai (center) shows off the impressive tech inside of the company's RED housing
Isotta is a housing manufacturer with an increased presence in the industry
Isotta's housing for the D850 features a dual O-ring seal and customizable handle configuration
The big boy: An anonymous hand model display's Aquatica's housing for the Nikon D5
Aquatica provides solid-block aluminum machined housings at a lower price point than other brands
Inon's new conversion ring makes it possible to use pre-existing accessories (such as the pictured snoot) on the new Z-330 strobes
Inon has released 4600K and 4900K dome diffusers for users to fine-tune the color correction
Make sure to check out our review of the Inon Z-330s for wide-angle and macro
Hard not to drool at the top-of-the-line DSLR housings on display at the Seacam booth…
…which is perhaps why they were being guarded like precious jewels!
Close your eyes to avoid being blinded at the Keldan booth, which produces high-lumen and high-CRI video lights for the high-level underwater cinematographer
Even i-Divesite's BS40 dual lighting system made an appearance. In a review of this light, we said, "[it] is suitable not only for video, but also for evenly lighting a wide-angle still photo"
So Long from Singapore
Three days fly by when among friends and colleagues. ADEX is an exciting environment for any scuba diver or underwater photographer—the passion for the underwater world is infectious. It's no wonder that the show continues to grow every year. If you've never been, it's definitely worth the visit.

Smart Mobility
HALO charging stations
Founded in 2016, Freschfield stepped onto the scene when the market for electric vehicles was still in its infancy. We predicted that the demand for charging infrastructure would skyrocket, and we set our sight on a clear concept: "a fully modular charging station that's easy to use and can stand the test of time".
Thanks to our team's foresight and imagination, we are on the way of becoming the world's first & sole provider of Intelligent Quantum Energy based charging systems. Meanwhile, we are playing an active role in promoting smart solar technologies with industry partners such as Scottish and Southern Energy in the UK. We are driven by the belief that promoting ZERO carbon networks, and providing EV solutions across the globe makes a good economic and environmental sense.
Over the coming years, driving an EV will increasingly mean freedom for everyone. Freedom to power your dreams across borders. To travel anywhere in the world with the knowledge that you're committed to a future that is sustainable and good for the environment.

Journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell has led a comprehensive documentary look at self-driving cars in Autonomy. The film is a cinematic exploration of the world of automated vehicles—from their technical history to the personal narratives of those affected by them to the many unanswered questions about how this technology will affect modern society. Autonomy features interviews with industry pioneers and scenes with cutting-edge autonomous vehicles (AVs) in action around the world. Autonomy reinforces the context of where the car meets the coming revolution in mobility, presenting a primer on the subject and how it will affect us all.
Autonomy was directed by Alex Horwitz. Executive producers were Eddie Alterman, Felix DiFilippo, Malcolm Gladwell, Alex Horwitz, and Maury Postal; and producers were Christopher Boyd, Kevin Mann, and Michael Mann.
To mark the SXSW world premiere of his new documentary, Autonomy, Malcolm Gladwell (author and host of Revisionist History) joined Chris Urmson (CEO of Aurora Innovation) and NBC News correspondent Jo Ling Kent for a conversation about where we're heading and who we'll be when we get there. Check out their discussion here.

Devotion is not just reverential deference to God's greatness; it is also passionate advocacy of his sweetness
Some people think that to be devoted means to perpetually bow down to God, being awed by his greatness.
Yes, appreciating God's greatness and submitting to him are definitely parts of devotion. We live as kings and gods in our own mental universes. Due to such megalomania, we don't pay much respect to others and to God. Gita wisdom explains how God is much bigger than us and how we are his servants. By understanding God's greatness, we learn to devotionally defer to him.
Simultaneously, Gita wisdom reveals God to be far sweeter than the supreme king who demands obeisance. He is the supremely loving and supremely lovable Lord. And we are his eternal parts (15.07), meant to delight eternally in his unending sweetness. Unfortunately, we forget his sweetness and look for it elsewhere, thereby succumbing to the pull of our mind and senses, which drag us here, there and everywhere in the search for pleasure.
Helping us redirect our heart, the Gita reveals Krishna's love for us. Out of his eagerness that we re-connect with him, he reveals the most confidential knowledge (18.64), declares that he loves us most dearly (18.65) and assures us protection from all misfortunes when we surrender to him (18.66). Understanding this, we naturally feel inspired to share Krishna's glories with others. And the Gita declares such devotees to be on the path of guaranteed liberation and to be most dear to Krishna. Thus, our devotion rises to passionate advocacy of Krishna's glories, wherein devotees want everyone to relish those glories.
With this holistic understanding of devotion, our reverential deference for Krishna is subsumed within a passionate advocacy that animates our life and the lives of all those we contact while also animating our journey towards him.
Think it over:
- Why do we need to appreciate God's greatness?
- How does the Gita help us redirect our heart?
- How does our devotion rise to passionate advocacy?

It turned out to be one of our best parties yet. We tend to go low tech and low stress for parties and end up having the most fun.
Some snippets from the night:
- Third grade girls are exceedingly noisy. The five girls made more noise while putting together their own pizzas than a whole classroom of preschoolers. They giggled at EVERYTHING and talked so fast I didn't understand most of what was said.
- Third grade boys, even if they don't understand why, crave attention from girls. L, who lives next door, was allowed to join some of the festivities but not sleep over. His participation consisted mostly of being chased around by the girls. I thought he'd get tired of being tackled and of having the girls try to pull down his pants, but just kept coming back for more. B watched it all, shaking his head. "Poor kid," he said. "He has no idea why he wants the girls to pay attention to him."
- One should never underestimate the sheer will power and determination of five girls to stay awake as long as possible. All five girls were awake until at least 2:30, and two claimed to stay awake until 4:30.
- Five girls can get along without fighting. I expected a certain amount of sqabbling and at least one incident of hurt feelings and tears, but there were no problems at all.
- You don't need expensive favors or elaborate party activities to have a good time. The girls spent most of their time running around and singing songs, and the tent and camp fire provided tons of entertainment. B and I didn't really have to do anything to keep them busy.
- Sitting by the campfire in the morning is a great way to start the day - even if it's in your own backyard.
Another successful event!

While strolling through Old City on Friday night, I was kind of surprised to see street vendors on 3rd Street. It's embarrassing to say that this was my first First Friday in Old City. The vendor that really caught my eye was Night Owl Terrariums. They use thrifted, vintage, and found glassware to make a huge variety of terrariums.
Some of the terrariums come with animal figurines. I thought this elephant was super cute. I also spied a rabbit, a bird, and a chipmunk in other terrariums.
They also make and sell premade and custom jewelry. I'm tempted to order a custom mini terrarium necklace. They don't have a website yet, but you can stop by their Facebook page or sign up for their email newsletter for more info.

Retreat Schedule: Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. – 9 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Attendance: Strong preference and recommendation for folks to attend all three days. You are allowed to do Saturday and Sunday only if necessary.
The Path of Refuge: Avowing our Collective Karma Together
In our morning service, our first act of speech is to avowal our karma. In doing so, we take responsibility not only for the suffering we have personally caused, but for all the arising fruits of an ancient karma that conditions our lives together. We live in a time when our personal karma is so clearly intertwined with a painfully apparent collective karma. Dogen asks we practitioners of Zen to "immediately clarify all causes and all effects if you want to make the aspiration for enlightenment your priority, and so respond to the boundless gift of buddha ancestors."
As we come to understand the causes and effects of these complex relationships of personal and collective karma, how do we work with the seeming relentlessness of our realizations? Our morning service provides the answer. We immediately follow our avowal of karma with taking refuge in Buddha, dharma and sangha. These two practices are not separate. The working with our karma is supported by our taking of refuge, as well as its deepest meaning. In this three-day sit, we will be exploring taking refuge in the three treasures as critical to our path of responsibility for our shared karma. Please join us, so we can clarify our aspirations and respond to the boundless gift of buddha ancestors together.
Full sesshin cost: Sustaining $285 / Base $240 / Members (for 3 months) $150. Please see the registration page for partial attendance pricing.
We require a minimum attendance of two consecutive days ending on Sunday.
Please note that Brooklyn Zen Center is not a residential community.
BZC offers retreats on a sliding scale basis to allow participants to pay according to individual means. Please consider giving at our sustaining rate which directly supports inclusive community attendance on this retreat.

Partial scholarships are available for sitting retreats such as this one. To apply for a scholarship, please use this link and wait for approval before registration. Scholarship applications are due by September 25 at 11:59 p.m.

In this sesshin, participants will practice the ceremony of oryoki, in which the sangha comes together in giving and receiving food in the meditation hall, using stacked and wrapped bowl sets, in a ceremony going back to our Chinese Buddhist ancestors.
Oryoki meals are included in the cost of the sesshin. However, to receive their meals, participants will need a set of oryoki bowls. Participants may bring their own set. They may also rent an oryoki set for the duration of sesshin or buy one through BZC. If you intend to rent or buy an oryoki set, please complete this form by Monday, September 24 at 11:59 p.m.
To purchase an oryoki set, a suggested donation of $55 (members) / $65 (base/nonmember) / $80 (sustaining) is encouraged. If your intention is to rent a set, the suggested rental donation is $5/day, which will mean $15 for the full three days.
Please send in your payment by Monday, September 24.
Payment options include the donate page on the website, PayPal at email@example.com or Venmo @brooklynzen with a note indicating "Oryoki Set Purchase" or "Oryoki Set Rental". You may also leave a check in the temple donation box on your next visit to BZC.
Participants will be contacted by a BZC staff member once their set is available.
Keep in mind that we are limited on storage space and therefore only a limited amount of sets will be available for rental and purchase. Oryoki will be practiced at future retreats and participants are strongly encouraged to purchase a set.
Please email email@example.com with any questions, concerns or if other arrangements are needed.
Please note that there will be NO alternative meal plan offered. The kitchen will send out the menu with ingredients listed to all registered participants the week before the sesshin, so that alternative arrangements can be made for those with dietary restrictions.

He is devoted to co-creating an American dharma movement that fully embraces a deep social engagement focused on transforming inequity, bias and violence in ourselves, our communities and the world.
