Summer Quick Hits
Harriette Hemmasi will now lead all branches of the Georgetown University library system, according to a June 19 news release. Hemmasi previously served as the Joukowsky family university librarian at Brown University where she raised over $50 million for the university's library and assisted in bringing the library to the digital age. At Georgetown she will oversee and direct all branches of the university library, including Lauinger Library and Blommer Science Library, which includes 3.5 million volumes, manuscripts and books. Former Dean Artemis Kirk retired in the fall after 16 years at the university.
A fire ripped through the beloved Georgetown eatery Wingo's on June 26, leaving the store closed indefinitely. The fire began in the kitchen before rapidly spreading, requiring nearly 80 firefighters to put it out, according to a tweet from the D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department. When Wingo's was established in 2002, it quickly became a neighborhood staple for students and residents. The eatery attracted customers for its extensive list of wings and dozens of sauces. Wingo's acquired a new location at 2218 Wisconsin Avenue in Glover Park, and it is expected to be open sometime in August. As for the Georgetown Wingo's location, workers are trying to reopen as soon as possible. "We promise to come back stronger than ever before!" read a post on the Wingo's Facebook page in late June.
Addressing Georgetown's History With Slavery
Beginning in 2015 with the establishment of Georgetown's Working Group on Slavery, Memory and Reconciliation, the university has worked to reconcile with its association with slavery, after it benefitted from the sale of 272 slaves to a Louisiana plantation in 1838. Measures have included granting legacy status in admissions consideration to descendants of the 272 and renaming two residence halls previously named for Jesuits involved in the 1838 sale to Isaac Hawkins Hall, after the first enslaved person listed on the record of sale, and Anne Marie Becraft Hall, after a free black educator in the Georgetown area. Descendants of Isaac Hawkins, represented by the GU272 Isaac Hawkins Legacy group, proposed in January that the university should provide financial reparations to the descendants. The Legacy of the GU272 Alliance is also pushing for financial reparations in the form of a scholarship fund to be used by descendants to pay for Georgetown or a state university of the student's choosing. University spokespeople have stated that Georgetown will continue to work with descendants in reconciliation efforts but have not stated what those efforts will include.
Swastikas Found in Resident Halls
In September, painted swastikas were found in two different resident halls on campus on three different occasions. First, in early September, a swastika was found carved into an elevator of Village C West. Shortly after, swastikas were found painted in a LXR Hall elevator and women's restroom. In response to the incidents, the Georgetown University Police Department launched an investigation that included interviews to determine the person responsible, but in an interview with The Hoya in December, GUPD Police Chief Jay Gruber said the investigation was still ongoing and a suspect was not identified. After the incidents, GUPD increased security and installed cameras in the LXR Hall, but some students felt that the university could have done more to combat the anti-Semitic actions that occurred in September. Jessica Keller (COL '20), the president of J Street U Georgetown, a pro-Israeli student group, thought the university should have taken stronger action. "It appears that actions of anti-Semitism and misogyny have only been bolstered by the inability of our society to condemn this hateful rhetoric, and I believe that more must be done, both by the administration and by other student organizations, to combat this threat," Keller wrote in an email to The Hoya in December.
Students, Administrators Stand with DACA Recipients
After President Donald Trump rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program last September, Georgetown University President John J. DeGioia reaffirmed that Georgetown would continue to protect students without documentation, commonly referred to as "Dreamers." Throughout the 2017-18 academic year, students and university administrators demonstrated their dedication to upholding this promise, starting a letter-writing campaign called "Friends of Dreamers" to encourage members of Congress to support permanent legislation to replace DACA. The Georgetown University Student Association sponsored a weeklong campaign to support DACA recipients called #GUHereToStay, which included a letter-writing campaign, phone bank and other advocacy efforts aiming to engage students. After Congress did not pass permanent legislation by DACA's March 5 expiration date, the university maintained that it would continue to support students without documentation. April's UndocuWeek continued the efforts to support those students at Georgetown, with events including movie screenings and discussions meant to dispel stereotypes about immigrants.
Sexual Assault Task Force Recommendations
A number of new policies to prevent sexual assault were put in place in fall 2017 after the university's Sexual Assault and Misconduct Task Force finalized its set of 11 recommendations. Among the new changes were the establishment of "Bringing in the Bystander," a training program for all first-year students training them in sexual misconduct prevention, and the creation of an online resource center and misconduct reporting form. Health Education Services also hired a new staff clinician and sexual assault specialist to expand the number of available resources to assist survivors. Other recommendations included expanding sexual assault response training for all GUPD officers and encouraging a more open club culture on campus. The spring 2016 creation of the task force and the group's subsequent recommendations came in response to the January 2016 Sexual Assault and Misconduct Climate Survey, which revealed that one in three women, one in three transgender, genderqueer and non-conforming students and one in nine men reported experiencing non-consensual sexual contact as a result of physical force or incapacitation.
Georgetown University Student Association
Georgetown University Student Association President Sahil Nair (SFS '19) and Vice President Naba Rahman (SFS '19) won the Feb. 22 GUSA executive election by a razor-thin margin of 36 votes. Results from a poll conducted by The Hoya days before the election showed Nair and Rahman narrowly leading the race, over the second-place presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Josh Sirois (SFS '20) and Casey Doherty (COL '20). Nair and Rahman, who met their senior year of high school at a national debate competition, are the third consecutive nonwhite GUSA executive pair. Though the pair had less GUSA experience than Sirois and Doherty, their platform relied heavily on ensuring that every student's voice is heard, evident in their platform "Because Every Voice Matters." Thirty-five senior leadership and cabinet positions, which are made up of students who applied and were chosen by Nair and Rahman to help support the administration's policy goals, complete Nair and Rahman's team. In addition to those 35 senior leadership positions, 18 senate members were elected in April. This year was the first year senators were elected in April, rather than in the fall, which is a result of the passage of a set of referendums that upended the voting policy.
Tar Sand Extraction Divestment
The university will divest from companies that support the extraction of tar sands, as it violates Georgetown's Socially Responsible Investing Policy, university administrators announced at a meeting in early June following proposals from university student group Georgetown University Fossil Free. Tar sands are a mix of different substances, including sand, water and clay; tar sand extraction is similar to coal mining. The committee of university administrators decided that investing in companies that support tar sand extraction violates the investment policy due to the harmful environmental and community effects tar sand extraction can pose. The activity also violates the university's principle of "protection of human life and dignity," as extraction disproportionately affects "indigenous people from First Nations communities," according to the press release. Georgetown's decision to divest from tar sand extraction joins other universities that have divested, such as the University of Oxford and the University of California system.
Campus Speakers
U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), former Vice President Al Gore, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus all came to campus during the academic year, all touching on a variety of topics. Pelosi emphasized the importance of unified political parties, Al Gore addressed the future of the environment, Albright talked about the her new book and Priebus analyzed President Donald Trump's unconventional governing style.

Clinton Lanier has led an eventful life.
But recently, the Vietnam War veteran passed a new milestone: One year of sobriety. It was not a short journey. It's one that took Lanier 50 years.
"I feel a lot better than I used to," Lanier, 70, said recently at the Savannah VA Outpatient Clinic. "At this point, I can say that I'm sober. That's a good feeling. I take no credit for that because I couldn't have done it by myself."
In November 2016, Lanier finally decided enough was enough, and he paid a visit to the VA clinic.
"I started getting high when I was in Southeast Asia in 1966, and I hadn't been sober since," Lanier said. "But I finally got tired of being sick and tired, which is something I've heard many times. I made up my mind that it was time for me."
He became the first person to graduate the newly added Substance Treatment and Recovery - or STAR - outpatient program at the Savannah VA clinic, and he's been going to group meetings there ever since. Now he hopes his story can inspire others who feel ashamed or scared of asking for help.
"I'm through hiding," Lanier said. "That's part of the process. The more I can do to help someone else - I think that would help me."
Lanier said telling his family was hard, but he's glad he did it. There are still people who don't know, but Lanier says he's ready to go public. He hopes his story will provide hope in particular to addicts like himself who are adept at hiding their addiction from their closest friends and family.
"Most of them didn't even know that I got high," he said. "In that sense, that's what elongated my stay - I got so good at it that only I knew the secret and the guy who sold me dope or the guy who did dope with me."
Lanier says he got by undetected by friends and family because he never let drugs interfere with his ability to keep a roof over his head, and he says he really only got high when he "wanted to." But he wanted to a lot.
"I never really hit bottom," he said. "My bottom was mental, not physical."
Lanier drank occasionally when he was a kid and smoked a joint when he was 16. But his drug use started in earnest after he joined the Army and deployed.
"I was a kid coming from Savannah, Ga., at 18 years old going to Southeast Asia, and I was not prepared for what I saw," Lanier said. "I'd like to blame that on the military, but I'm through blaming people."
When his unit was briefly in Thailand, he was introduced to opium and heroin. Later, when he got out of the Army, he got into cocaine - it would become his drug of choice, and he says he would occasionally spend as much as $2,000 a weekend on it.
For years after getting out of the service, Lanier didn't reach out to the VA for help. That changed after his mother died about a decade ago. Since then, he was diagnosed with cancer twice.
Each time, though, he went back to using drugs. Even when he wanted to break the cycle.
"When I'd get high, I'd say, 'God, please, don't let me do this anymore,' and wake up the next morning and go buy more dope," he said. "I can't put that on God. That's me."
Eventually, Lanier turned to the VA again. He was sent to the clinic in Dublin to get sober. After about a month and a half, he came back to Savannah, where he met Charles Henry.
In Henry, a peer support specialist who helps veterans dealing with addiction, Lanier found someone who would listen and understand.
Especially pertinent was that Henry, who once struggled with alcohol, had been sober for more than 20 years.
"I'd rather be around somebody who is set firm in their beliefs and has a goal in mind and sticks to it, and that's the kind of person I intend to be," Lanier said. "I intend to have 22 years, too, if I live that long. Hopefully."
Henry says Lanier has been "a staple" of group meetings over the last year and a good example to others in the program.
Being successful at sobriety boils down to desire, Henry said.
"A lot of vets we get, they need the program," Henry said. "They need recovery, but they don't want it. They want the pain to stop, but they don't want to put in the work."
Part of the process, Henry said, is learning to treat addiction as a disease. It's also important for people who know addicts to understand, since those who are struggling may be wary of coming forward due to social stigma.
"We have a disease," Henry said. "We're not crazy. We're not moral misfits. We're not bad people."
Dr. Elbert Sholar, a psychiatrist at the VA clinic in Savannah, says the facility has been working toward providing more services in Savannah, including an enhanced mental health component. There are about 22 mental health professionals at the clinic now.
"We've taken away a lot of the barriers that used to be present," Sholar said.
Staff at the VA clinic is hoping more veterans hear about the mental health and substance abuse programs and become inspired by Lanier.
"After being 70 years old and living a full life, I deserve to be sober, not just for my family or even for God but for me," Lanier said. "… I've come a long way and I have not sacrificed anything. It didn't get worse. It got better"

Fighting Stigma
By Liz Belfield, Program Manager, Parent/Professional Advocacy League
Children's Mental Health Week (CMHW) was started in 1991 by a group of families in Missouri, now called Missouri Families 4 Families, who wanted to fight discrimination and stigma in their community. The Parent/Professional Advocacy League (PPAL) supported these families and this idea, bringing CMHW to Massachusetts in 1996 to do the same –fight stigma and promote family wellness in communities.
We use this metaphor of 'fighting' stigma because for a lot of our families, it is a fight. When parents come to us for help, we tell them we will train them to be advocates, but what is an advocate but a fancy word for fighter? Advocates push issues forward, advocates support policies that help them, advocates fight for their causes. The parents who come to us for support already know how to fight. They've been fighting for their children since day one. What we teach them is how to channel their parental instincts, their internal protective mamma and papa bear- ness, into meaningful action that causes positive change for their children.
And a lot of what these parents are fighting is stigma. Stigma is so harmful in so many different ways. It has been shown to have a profound effect on a person's sense of self and can diminish their self-esteem and confidence. Children and young people have been shown to experience higher levels of stigma than adults. Stigma is so pervasive. It doesn't just affect the individual, but their family and friends, their school teachers and peers, their community leaders and health care professionals. Stigma can restrict access to services and the services themselves. In fact, the former US Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, stated that stigma is one of the most important problems facing the entire mental health field.
On average, individuals wait 8-10 years from when mental health symptoms emerge to when they seek help. Can you imagine someone waiting 10 years for cancer treatment or 10 years for a heart transplant? This lag in help isn't due to not needing help, but not knowing how to get help or being afraid to get help. When those struggling with mental health challenges are portrayed as violent, unpredictable, or 'crazy,' it's not hard to imagine why they wait so long to get help. Unfortunately, those individuals are more likely to be the victims of violence, rather than the perpetrators. Stigma is preventing individuals from getting help, which could cost them their life.
Mental health stigma is literally killing people. Not through the tragedies broadcast on the news, but through suicide. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US, the 3rd leading cause of death in children aged 10-14, and the 2nd leading cause of death for youth aged 15-24. In fact, more young adults die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease COMBINED. And rates in minority and LGBTQ communities are worse. Native American teens have a suicide death rate that's twice the rate of Caucasian teens and for LGBTQ aged 10-24, suicide is one of the leading causes of death.
This is happening all over the country, all over the world, and our little Commonwealth is not immune. Massachusetts is higher than the national average at 11% of youth reporting experiencing at least one major depressive episode in the past year, and suicides in Massachusetts increased 40% from 2004 to 2014. In 2014, there were 608 recorded suicides, more than homicides and motor vehicle deaths combined. And that number is only rising.
Another concerning statistic is that while 55% of people who died by suicide in 2015 were in the middle of a mental health problem, only 39% were receiving services or treatment for mental health or substance use. Why aren't individuals getting treatment for their mental health? Why is there a 10 year lag between symptoms and treatment? Why are we letting this issue hurt our families, friends, and neighbors?
We need to change the way we think about mental health and talk about mental health. Books and articles don't have as much impact on the way we think as the people around us do. When you stand up and say something, you give permission to others to say something too. We need to create a culture where mental health can be talked about productively and openly. We need to create places that people can go to receive help without judgement or shame. We need to talk about how mental illness is not a sign of weakness but how seeking and accepting help is a sign of strength.
Families fight stigma because they are fighting against institutions and red tape that prevent their children from getting the care they need. They are fighting against negative connotations that cause their children actual harm. They are fighting against whispered words and dirty looks that make their children feel like mental illness is shameful. They are fighting against fear, against prejudice, against discrimination, against hate. But mostly important, they are fighting for something – for access to care, for a safe place in their communities, and for their children to have a chance to change their futures for the better.

Homeowners and Renter's Insurance
The right protection for your home and family
Common sense tells us that insurance is key to protecting your home, your family and your belongings. Whether you are concerned about protecting your house, apartment, condo or rental property, the big questions are: how much insurance and what types of coverage do you need? Murken Insurance helps you develop a coverage plan to address your concerns, promote peace of mind and protect your largest investment.
Protection for Homeowner's
Property Coverage – Homes are often underinsured. Work with Mary to complete an insurance valuation to determine your home's replacement value.Valuation of your home is determined by calculating the amount it would cost to repair your home with today's dollars. It is important to consider a value that has the appropriate limits for any potential reconstruction needs.
Personal Liability – In addition to property coverage, you also need to protect yourself against potential liability risks. Personal liability risks to consider include:
- Someone being injured on your property.
- Any damage that you cause to property or people while on vacation.
- Personal Injury coverage associated with libel, slander, or defamation of character.
Homes Under Construction Coverage – Building your dream home? Protect your new home the during construction phase. Without this coverage the following may not be covered by your existing insurance:
- Lost, stolen or damaged building materials and tools
- Damage to your home during the construction process
- Foundation collapse
- Vandalism
Special Limits for Special Property – Do you have special jewelry, fine arts, guns, stamp collections or other expensive items in your home? These high value items often need to be scheduled on your homeowner's, condo or renter's policy to ensure they are protected in the case of damage, theft or mysterious disappearance.
Protection for Renters
Protection for Condominium Owners
Loss Assessment Coverage – Your association can pass the financial responsibility for covered losses, liability or property, directly to each owner. Discuss with Murken Insurance to determine an appropriate amount of coverage.
Insurance for Rental Property Owners
Are you a landlord? Protect yourself from potential risks that include:
- Property damage
- Liability claims including:
- Unlawful eviction
- Invasion of privacy
- Discrimination claims
- Loss of rental income
Proper building valuation and property insurance coverage will help protect your investment. Murken Insurance, we discuss your coverage options and your risk threshold to find appropriate coverage before you put up that "For Rent" sign.
Other Coverage to Consider
Personal Umbrella Insurance – When truly unexpected events happen, how do you protect your assets and cover any accompanying legal fees? For example:
- Someone jumps your backyard fence, falls into your pool and sustains major injuries.
- While renting, you cause a kitchen fire that spreads to a good portion of your building and causes smoke damage to your neighbor's unit.
- You have a tragic accident on the highway in which one or more individuals are injured and require life-long care.
Personal umbrella coverage provides additional protection for these events beyond the limits of your home or auto insurance. This coverage works in conjunction with your home and auto insurance to protect your cash assets, savings and investments in the case of an unfortunate and costly incident.
Questions about home and renter's insurance?
The place you call home is an important place. At Murken Insurance, we help protect it. If you have questions about Homeowner's, Condominium or Renter's Insurance, call Mary at 920-651-1500.

Pakistan has called for ensuring effective deployment of U.N. peacekeeping missions, their operations relevant to the realities on ground and well-resourced in order to carry out their tasks of maintaining peace and security in the world's troubled regions.
"When lives are at risk of peacekeepers as well as those they are responsible to protect actual requirements should drive peacekeeping, not narrow cost considerations," Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi, Pakistan's permanent representative to the U.N., told the Security Council on Tuesday.
"Lack of adequate resources results inevitably in non-implementation of
the very mandates that we fashion for our Blue Helmets," she said in the course of an open debate on 'peacekeeping operations and sustaining peace.'
"We should be talking about enhancing capabilities, not across the board cuts in peacekeeping budgets," the Pakistani envoy said in an obvious reference to the United States' push for reductions in the resources earmarked for UN missions deployed around the world.
Peacekeeping, she said, was the pivot on which the dividends of preventive diplomacy were built on and post-conflict peace and nation building promoted.
"As one of the world's top troop contributors to UN Peacekeeping over the past six decades, we can say from our experience and the expertise that we have acquired the realization of this objective requires mandates with realistic tasks, flexibility to adapt to changes on the ground and a clear exit strategy," Ambassador Lodhi told delegates from around the world.
There was a need for a better interface between peacekeeping and peacebuilding activities, through early engagement of the Peacebuilding Commission as part of exit and transition strategies, the Pakistani envoy said.
An "ominous gap" in peacebuilding strategies was the failure to comprehend and address the root causes of conflicts, she said. Poverty eradication, unemployment, and socio-economic development, as well as the resolution of political disputes, all required more focused attention.
"If we are serious about making UN peacekeeping a catalyst for peace, to empower it to respond effectively to the conflicts of today and contribute to the overarching goal of sustaining peace, ground realities rather than political expediency should guide the Council's decisions," Ambassador Lodhi added.
Opening the debate, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed has said that the nature of today's challenges requires seamless work across peace and security, human rights and sustainable development.
"Peacekeeping operations need clear, realistic and up-to-date mandates, with well-identified priorities, adequate sequencing, and flexibility to evolve over time," Ms. Mohammed said.
"Coherence, complementarity, and collaboration between UN peace and security efforts and its development and humanitarian work are also essential for preventing conflict and mitigating risks, fostering more sustainable outcomes and ensuring that no one is left behind," she added.

New York, February 25, 2019 -- Moody's Investors Service assigned a Baa2 rating to Brunswick Corporation's
("Brunswick") proposed senior unsecured notes. Net
proceeds will be used to repay a portion of the Company's term loans
and for general corporate purposes. On August 9, 2018,
Brunswick acquired the Global Marine Business of Power Products Holdings,
LLC. for $910 million. The acquisition was funded
with $800 million of term loans and cash on hand.
Rating assigned
Senior unsecured notes due 2049 at Baa2
Brunswick's Baa2 senior unsecured rating reflects its strong position
in the marine industry, the stability provided by its marine parts
& accessories business, and it's very strong credit metrics.
The rating also reflects Brunswick's good operating performance
and strength of its distribution network. The rating benefits from
the fact that boating is a sector with relatively stable participation
trends. Because of Brunswick's sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions
and discretionary spending, Moody's expects the company's
credit metrics to be stronger than other similarly-rated consumer
durable companies. Moody's expects credit metrics to remain
strong as the company's operating performance remains solid and leisure
marine industry demand steadily grows. Brunswick's strong
liquidity and seasoned management team also support the rating.
Ratings are constrained by the discretionary nature of pleasure boats
and marine-related products, which makes Brunswick's revenues
and earnings sensitive to economic weakness.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the company
will maintain its strong operating performance, liquidity,
and credit metrics. This will enable the company to maintain a
solid credit profile, even in a moderate to significant economic
An upgrade is possible if Brunswick can materially increase its revenues,
and further diversify its business away from boats. Moody's
would also need to have a view that Brunswick would be able to maintain
solid earnings and cash flow in the face of economic uncertainties.
In addition, Brunswick would need to sustain debt/EBITDA below 1.5
times before Moody's would consider an upgrade.
Ratings could be downgraded if there is a significant negative change
in boating participation and/or boat ownership trends or the company's
operating performance otherwise weakens. Debt/EBITDA sustained
above 2.5 times could also result in a downgrade.
The principal methodology used in this rating was Consumer Durables Industry
published in April 2017. Please see the Rating Methodologies page
on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.
Brunswick, headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, is
a global designer, manufacturer and marketer of marine engines pleasure
boats and fitness equipment. Pro forma revenues are approximately
$4.2 billion.

The safest and only legal way to dig is to know what's below ground before your shovel or equipment moves any dirt. Even small projects like planting a shrub require you to make advance arrangements before digging. Your advance call to 811 helps you learn where utility-owned lines and equipment are buried before you turn the earth.
Your call to 811 connects you with your state's "one-call center," which arranges, at no cost to you, for utilities like us to locate and mark our buried utilities in your yard. We will send a professional to locate underground natural gas and electric lines with colored flags, paint or stakes. Please note that we are not able to locate lines that a customer has installed and owns, such as a natural gas or electric line that provides fuel or power to an outdoor grill, lighting, etc.
Thank you for visiting Xcel Energy. You have been selected to participate in a brief customer satisfaction survey to let us know how we can improve your experience.

作者:Eric Caoili
《Empires & Allies》和《海岛大亨》或《乌托邦》非常相似。它们都涉及小岛上的城建者。但《Empires & Allies》是款社交游戏,所以不适合同策略游戏挂钩。
Firaxis深谙此道,试图同时覆盖这两片市场。凭借发行《Civ Revolution》和《CivWorld》,Firaxis得以瞄准不熟悉4X游戏的市场,获得多年发展。
就原生《Sim City》到《Sim City 4》的复杂性变化来看,Maxis投入14年时间,连续制作3个续集,才达到《Sim City 4》的复杂程度。Zynga及其竞争者每年都会发行作品,游戏复杂性只有小幅提高。各作品的复杂性增幅甚微,但14年后,社交游戏是否会像"硬核"那般复杂?
Opinion: What Does Casual Becometh?
by Eric Caoili
[In this reprinted #altdevblogaday-opinion piece, student developer Tyler Coleman argues that social games are fast evolving into titles with more depth that could be creating core gamers out of casual players.]
I love management/tycoon games. It seems the uprising of the social game is bringing my favorite genre back from a quiet period. Therefore, I love social games by association.
But many social games are on the borderline of being management/tycoon games, but are not considered as such.
com·plex (km-plks, kmplks) adj. Consisting of interconnected or interwoven parts; composite.
(I'll be picking on Zynga's games for this article, due to their market penetration)
Example – City Building
It seems that social city-building games are not considered to by city-building games by Wikipedia's list of city-building games. Why is that?
If you took out the mechanics in CityVille that require you to wait for turns, it would be very much like early city building games.
Empires & Allies is much like Tropico or Utopia. They are all city builders on an island. However, Empire & Allies is a social game, so it is deemed unfit to earn the mark of a strategy game.
One company that realizes this, and is doing a great job at reaching both markets is Firaxis. With the release of Civ Revolution and CivWorld, Firaxis focused on a market that was not familiar with 4X games, and the years of growth they have endured.
These games have introduced a new demographic to 4X games, and did it in a simplified way. We cannot expect a player unfamiliar with a genre to step into its most complex title first. There must be a "weaning" process. The core gamers have had the history of video games to bring themselves in to the complexity of games.
Do a comparison of FarmVille to the more recent popular social games. There is a definite growth in complexity over the past three years. And, it seems as if that growth is at a faster rate than the original growth within these genres.
Looking at the change of complexity from the original Sim City to Sim City 4, it took 14 years and three sequels for Maxis to reach the complexity found in Sim City 4. Zynga and their competitors have released games on a yearly basis, with small increases in complexity. The increase per game is much smaller, but given 14 years, will social games be as complex as their "core" counterparts?
My opinion? The social market is currently weaning a new generation of management game players.
Example – Match 3
Another example of this is the Match 3 genre. One of the first versions of this game is Shariki, released in the mid '90s. Since then, PopCap has revitalized the game type with Bejeweled. This is a genre I rarely play. However, I have noticed an increase of depth and complexity within the genre.
Compare the first Bejeweled to its upcoming successor. The original Bejeweled had two games modes. The third has eight, with various options in each. In three titles, PopCap has grown the complexity of Match 3 exponentially.
And, the market is following them. Games such as Puzzle Quest are increasing in complexity, introducing a demographic of casual players to basic RPG mechanics.
Other Examples
These aren't the only genres that are reaching into the core realm.
A genre recently coined in the casual market, "time management", is on its way to having a niche core player base. Games like Diner Dash have paved the way for a group of hardcore time-management games, which most of us would have difficulty picking up immediately.
While these games may be lumped in with "casual" games, I would pose that the mouse clicks per minute on a hard level of a time management game is not much different from an FPS or RPG.
Plants Vs Zombies is another example of a game genre aimed at a more casual market. Defense games have existed in the Flash realm (and others) for over a decade, but it took PopCap's polished game to reach a more casual market. It would be interesting to see if the casual gamers who played PvZ went on to play more challenging and complex defense games after finishing it.
What are your thoughts on this? Am I finding a correlation where there is none, or could social games be creating a new wave of core gamers? Could companies with AAA interest benefit from introducing their brand of game to a casual/social audience, in order to bring more diversity to their player base?
Will social games wean soccer moms in to playing Dwarf Fortress? Only time will tell…(Source:gamasutra)

06 Dec Solar Pool Heating – FAQ's
Supreme Heating's range of solar pool heating products are designed to minimise running costs and CO² emissions, whilst ensuring you, your family and pool friendly neighbours get maximum fun, value and exercise out of that big watery investment in the backyard.
Call us to find out how we can assist and support you in designing a system specific to your lifestyle.
How does Solar Pool Heating Work?
Pool water is circulated through the collector installed on a suitably positioned roof. As the pool water is circulated, it is heated from the sun's free energy and then returned to the pool. The water temperature can be managed by an automatic control system.
This form of heating is very inexpensive to operate and is ecologically friendly unlike fossil fuel heaters (gas or electric), which create pollution through their harmful products of combustion.
How much solar do I need?
We recommend you match each square meter of your pool's surface area with the same coverage of solar on the roof. This will give you 100% coverage, maximising the heat absorption from the sun and ensuring the quickest possible heat up time for your pool.
Find out more about the Heatseeker Diamond Pool Cover Range here or contact a Supreme Heating consultant to request a quote.
Solar Pool Heating product page for more detailed information or call a Supreme Heating office today for your personalised assessment.
Can solar heating be fitted to an existing pool?
Yes, a solar pool heating system can be easily installed to existing pools, whether the pool is old or new.
Can I add to the system if I want to at a later date?
In most instances yes, however this will depend upon your current solar pool heating system design. A Supreme Heating consultant will need to arrange an inspection of your existing system to provide you with the best solution for your home.
What is the running cost difference between solar, heat pumps and gas heaters?
Solar is by far the cheapest option to heat your pool, followed by heat pumps, natural gas, LPG gas and electric element heating a distant last. The costs involved will vary depending on pool size, temperature, geographical location and local site conditions.

Anthony Bourdain, the famous world traveler, chef and Parts Unknown host was found dead in his room at Le Chambard, a luxury hotel in eastern France. The cause of death was hanging and local prosecutor, Christian de Rocquigny du Fayel said there was, "no reason to suspect foul play."
Another tragic loss to suicide. I did not know Mr. Bourdain personally, but like most folks, I knew all about his world travels from his really fantastic CNN show - Parts Unknown.
I certainly don't know what haunted Mr. Bourdain enough to take his own life so I won't speculate. He leaves behind him a daughter, family, friends and legions of fans. It's odd to think, "But he seemed like he was so happy - on TV!" Right? We like to think that we know people because we see them on TV, or in films, or through social media. We don't.
His death, it seems has shocked Mr. Bourdain's friends and colleagues. Usually, there are warning signs of depression and / or other things before an apparent suicide attempt. It really sounds, from what I've read, that no one had any idea he was suffering from whatever it was that drove him to take his own life.
Mr. Bourdain's long time girlfriend, the actress, activist Asia Argento released a quick statement saying he was, "my love, my rock, my protector … I am beyond devastated." Condolences seem to be coming in from all over the world which shows the vast reach of lives Mr. Bourdain has touched.
While suicide, or even a high suicide rate is nothing new in densely populated cities. In the US, the suicide rate has dramatically risen, with some states having an increase of 30% over previous decades. Nevada was the only state to report a decline (of 1%) while North Dakota reported a staggering increase of 57%. The report finds all sorts of factors as the cause - mental health, public health, addiction, alcoholism, economic hardship - to name a few. Just last week the fashion industry lost Kate Space who was unknown to me but was something of an icon in her field. And today we've lost Anthony Bourdain. Sadly, we all know it won't be long before we lose someone else.
And suicide makes people - angry at the victim. And I understand. Bourdain's long time friend, actress Rose McGowan broke down crying in a now deleted clip where she flat out screams at him that she's "So mad at you." Suicide is selfish. And I would probably feel the same way if a close friend of mine committed suicide. But I find it hard to judge someone I don't know. So all I feel about Mr. Bourdain's suicide is a tinge of sadness at a life lost too soon. He was only 61 years old and he certainly had a lot more to offer the world. Or maybe he didn't. We just don't know the struggles people face.
And so I can only offer the exact thing that everyone else is offering. Words.
Anthony Bourdain - Rest in peace.
The National Suicide Prevention Hotline.

[T]wo years in, an ambitious project to synthesize genomes — including human ones — is moving on from its shaky start and plunging in to the practical work of creating better genomes than nature did. As some 200 scientists participating in "Genome Project-write" met in Boston…the group announced its first target: creating cells that could never be infected by viruses, and that perhaps would also be resistant to other killers.
Resistance to viruses and more would be accomplished by a process called recoding, which depends on the fact that the genetic code — which sequences of DNA letters "spell" which amino acids — is redundant. Each three-letter string of DNA letters, called a codon, codes for the production of a particular amino acid.
Why bother? Because viruses' genes include the redundant codons. If a virus entered a cell and, as is its wont, tried to take over the cell's genetic machinery to produce more viruses, [participant Jef] Boeke said, "it would get stuck." It wouldn't be able to get the cell to produce viral proteins and therefore viruses — which is what happens with a viral infection. "That's recoding for viral resistance."
If recoded human cells were resistant to HIV, hepatitis, influenza, and every other virus, they could be the basis for stem cell therapeutics.

On a regular basis, innovative diets and trendy health food plans are being created and released online, some of which subsequently develop a cult following across social media. All of these diets and plans promise fast results although only some of the diets are proven to really work.
The biggest trend of the moment is to adopt a low-carb lifestyle but after following any diet for a specific period of time, weight loss may stall or you may need a new plan to inject color into your drab diet. In this way, you may be able to get your body and mind back on track and continue on your weight loss journey.
One of the most successful ways in clearing the weight loss blockage is to adopt the Keto Egg Diet, also known as the Egg Fast. As the term 'fast' suggests, this is a temporary weight-loss diet which can help to add variety to a low-carb lifestyle and which contributes to shifting some extra pounds after a stall in your weight-loss programme.
Table of Contents
Here are the essential facts about the Keto Egg Diet:
When following the Keto Egg Diet, every day you should eat:
If you are used to following a low-carb lifestyle, but your weight loss has stalled, then with your body being in a state of ketosis you will be able to restart your metabolism and begin your weight loss once again.
The Keto Egg Diet results in you consuming a good level of macronutrients which are high in fat and low in carbohydrates, as well as a moderate level of protein. This reflects the nature of a low-carb lifestyle and complements an already low-carb plan. However, as this is a 'fast,' it is advisable to ensure that you do not surpass the 5-day plan as it may not be a healthy diet to follow in the long term. It provides your body with a short, sharp shock which stimulates your metabolism and ends any weight-loss blockage. Remember that your body needs to consume a variety of fruit or vegetables when you are on your regular low-carb plan.
Each day, consume a certain number of eggs, for example, 6 eggs. You could prepare them in any way you would like. Next, eat a tablespoon of healthy fat such as butter or sugar-free mayo and 1 ounce of full-fat cheese with every egg that you eat. Ideally, you should eat two eggs and their additional extras three times per day. You will find that the Keto Egg Diet fast acts as a metabolic reset which may restart the weight-loss process.
While following the Keto Egg Diet, ensure that you drink at least ten cups of water per day. As you will not be eating any fruit and vegetable across the 5-day fast and therefore not consuming any fiber, sufficient water will ensure that you do not develop constipation as well as maintaining a good level of hydration. You may also want to take a supplement such as magnesium to substitute a lack of fiber. Additional supplements which you may want to take are also potassium and multivitamin supplements. We published an article about the best Keto supplements for 2019 if you are interested.
Average-sized, chicken eggs are recommended. Ensure that you buy eggs that are in-date and that are fresh every day when you need them. Keep your eggs in the fridge to make sure that you enjoy the freshest eggs daily. Averaging six eggs per day will mean that you will need 30 eggs across the 5-day Keto Egg Plan.
Ensure that you only eat full-fat cheeses, such as cream cheese, brie or mozzarella.
Examples of healthy fats include butter and sugar-free mayo.
An important requirement before adopting the Keto Egg Diet is that your body should be in ketosis; otherwise, the effects of the fast may be compromised as your body suddenly adjust to the diet change. Remember that this is a perfect restart for the metabolism of individuals already following a low-carb lifestyle. Also we have put together the top 10 Keto books for you. You'll be able to have more options on what to cook and ingredients you'll need.
Other rules to remember when following the Keto Egg Diet are:
Eggs are an excellent food with limitless meal opportunities. Here are some meal ideas which meet the requirements of the Keto Egg Diet, while tasting great and adding some excitement to your fast.
If you are a follower of a low-carb lifestyle but you are experiencing a stall in weight loss, then the Keto Egg Diet may be for you. Following a low-carb lifestyle will mean that your body will be in ketosis and therefore is in a perfect state for your body to restart its metabolism and begin losing weight again. As this is a fast diet, it is only recommended for a period of 5 days, or no longer than 7 days at a maximum. There are so many delicious recipes which you could follow on the plan, combining your allocation of eggs, full-fat cheese, and healthy fats to create amazing meals which you will enjoy as much as you will enjoy your weight loss.

Whatever It Takes Reviews
Top Critic

Whatever It Takes is certainly nothing new or ground-breaking, but for what it is, it's entertaining and slightly above-average.

Although the film shamelessly rips off plot lines, characters and incidents from the play about Cyrano, TV shows and other movies... it still manages to entertain.

Despite its formulaic plot and all-too-tired themes, this John Hughes-movie wannabe has just enough quirky charm to compensate for its generic story.

Whatever It Takes is light, fluffy, fast-paced, and through the sludge of overdone ideas are a couple original moments.

The geeky sidekicks in Whatever It Takes are no better or worse than those in a dozen other teen movies of recent vintage, but they get the job done.

Unlike our public and school programs, Special Events only happen a few times a year. They are usually much larger in scale and showcase live animals and guest speakers. You don't want to miss these events. They are lots of fun for all ages. Check back often to catch our next Special Event!
NEW at the Fishways!
Interactive Watershed Exhibit
The Amoskeag Fishways is thrilled to be the first science education center in New Hampshire to have an augmented reality watershed exhibit! Visitors play in the sand to create unique landscapes and observe how the projected contour lines and colors change as the terrain is altered. It is really fun to build mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers… essentially creating your very own watershed. Make it RAIN when a 3-D camera responds to your hand movements, showing in real time how water moves over a landscape!
"Fish Season" is the time of year when our fish ladder is operating. This occurs every Spring in preparation for migratory fish that will use the fish ladder to bypass the Amoskeag Dam as they swim upriver in May and June. This year, Fish Season will run from April 30 – June 16. During this time, visitors may view migrating fish through our underwater windows. Walk-in visitors are always welcome and guided tours are offered to groups of 10 – 30 participants. For more information about Fish Season or to schedule a tour, call 626-FISH.
Fish Season Tours
This interactive walking tour offers students a peek into the past as they learn about the history of the Merrimack River and Amoskeag Falls with a focus on migratory fish. Students will learn the basics of hydroelectric power generation, see the fish ladder in action, and become familiar with how the fish ladder works and which species use it. The tour ends with an underwater look into the ladder for a chance to glimpse the fish themselves! Fish Season Tours are available to groups of 10 – 30 participants, though groups larger than 30 can be accommodated by booking multiple tours. To book, call 626-FISH.

About Product
Achieve a healthier way of working with this contemporary, versatile computer desk. We all know that sitting for hours is an unhealthy practice, but with long workdays it has become more common. Standing helps strengthen leg muscles, improves your balance and promotes healthy blood flow. Standing even burns more calories than sitting. This ergonomic desk gives you the option to sit down or stand up. The pneumatic lever allows you to easily adjust the height with minimal effort. When preparing to work you should adjust the desk so the surface is at the most comfortable position for typing. The large surface make this desk suitable for laptop and desktop usage. Since desktops are heavier than laptops, front adjustable glides were added to the front of the desk, while locking glides are added to the back legs, making this desk essentially mobile.

Demand for commercial real estate continues to be robust, led by rising occupancy levels in both core office markets, including business districts as well as upcoming growth corridors.
The total gross leasing volume in India touched almost 13 million sq ft during the first quarter of 2019, which is 1.45 times higher than the corresponding quarter of last year, showed data from Cushman & Wakefield India. Apart from robust leasing, top commercial property markets are also experiencing strong pre-commitment activity. During the quarter, nearly 1.8 million sq ft of office space was pre-committed.
A robust business ecosystem has been supporting the expansionary activity of occupiers, with precommitments made towards upcoming office space supply, especially in cities like Pune, Hyderabad and Bengaluru where vacancies continue to remain tight and in single digits.
"With a strong start across markets in 2019, the leasing activity this year is expected to gain momentum with the already high demand for quality office spaces. Demand activity is expected to heighten, with the pre-commitment activity as well as increase in net absorption levels seen in key markets this quarter," said Anshul Jain, country head & managing director, Cushman & Wakefield India.
Interestingly, the Delhi-NCR region saw the second highest pre-commitment activity during the quarter despite 26.1% vacancy level with almost 1.7 million sq ft being vacated by occupiers as part of their relocation and consolidation plans. Strong pre-commitment activity in this market region also resonates with robust leasing activity of 2.8 million sq ft during the quarter, an 82% on-year growth.
According to Jain, captive centres will be a game changer in 2019, with multiple outsourcing contracts worth around $51 billion, or Rs 355,192 crore, up for renewal across the country.

Maciej Bodnar blasts into second on Tour de Suisse stage 1, beaten by fractions of a second
Starting, as is the tradition at the Tour de Suisse, with a prologue time trial, Maciej Bodnar, Patrick Konrad, Peter Sagan, Marcus Burghardt, Andreas Schillinger, Daniel Oss and Lukas Pöstlberger lined up at the start of an overcast day in Langnau im Emmental. The profile would barely rise more than 50m over the 9.5km out and back course, making for some fast times to decide who would wear the race's coveted yellow jersey on the first road stage – providing the roads stayed dry. One of the first riders out of the gate to start the 2019 edition of the race was BORA-hansgrohe's Maciej Bodnar. The Polish time trial national champion set an early best time of 10:50, making it clear the other riders would have to break eleven minutes in order to be in any kind of contention at the end of the day. While Bodi was knocked off the top spot shortly after he'd set the provisional best time, he didn't leave the top five for the rest of the day, taking second when all the riders were in – the only rider able to beat him being the UCI TT World Champion – and even then, by fractions of a second. Using Maciej's ride to inform his own, Peter Sagan put in his own fast time to cross the line just seven seconds slower to take seventh spot. With the rain now falling, the times started rising, with the remaining members of the team focusing on staying safe and being in a position to pick up time later in the race, rather than risk crashing and ending their chances with so much of the race remaining.
01 R. Dennis 00:10:50
02 M. Bodnar +0:00
03 M. Matthews +0:01
07 P. Sagan +0:07

From the Finish Line
"I think it was a good start to the Tour de Suisse. I'm satisfied with my performance today and my form has been building well in the last few days. We had prepared this time trial very well and I think being beaten by the world champion by a fraction of a second is a good sign, even if, of course, a victory would have been excellent. I could have taken a curve faster or pushed a bit more at some other point, but that's part of the game. We have a long race ahead of us and from tomorrow I'll be working for the rest of the squad, trying to get the best result we can." – Maciej Bodnar
"This was my first race day after the Tour of California and an extended period training at high altitude, so it was a bit challenging for me but I felt well, especially in the final part of this short course. I sprinted to a top ten result but the Tour de Suisse is long and tough, so we'll have to fight every day." – Peter Sagan

Well, let me start off by saying I have spent hours on my digital portfolio and I'm still not completely satisfied. Yes, there's content, a very short resume type thing, and I think I've highlighted the finer aspects of myself, but it's too static. I like dynamic, action packed, like maybe an explosion sound when you press a button kind of fun? But to some, that comes off as unprofessional. I worked very hard to restrain myself, as digital laughing through typing (hahaha) doesn't tend to convey exactly what it may in person. I also debated listing the impressions I can do (many influenced by Saturday Night Live, a la Kristen Wiig)…maybe one day I'll be REALLY adventurous, put them on youtube and tweet the link to all the SNL stars I follow and Lorne Michaels. (If you are interested in my original skits and impressions, the 'george voice' and 'aunt martha voice' I can do really well on command).
I was SO happy the Dr. Bryan Alexander was so nice and happy. I was expecting a suit, with a mean condescending attitude that would make me run out of the room crying. (ok, a little dramatic) Anyway, I was just glad he was loving on everybody's projects, not just ours. It is really remarkable how far we've come and how much work has been completed. I am looking into audio hosting now, we should be able to do it through soundcloud but after Dr. Alexander's suggestion of podcasters, I'm trying to determine the better option. Oh, and I will start/continue editing the transcripts. Also, I'm continuing work on my digital portfolio, so it's definitely still a work in progress.

Harvick wins Kroger 250 at Martinsville
March 28, 2010 | Motorsports | No Comments|
MARTINSVILLE, Va.—It was a relatively uneventful day for Kroger 250 winner Kevin Harvick.
The same can't be said for Harvick's teammate, Ron Hornaday Jr., who started deep in the field in Saturday's Camping World Truck Series race at Martinsville Speedway and survived a late-race dust-up with Johnny Sauter to post a much-needed runner-up finish.
Harvick, who owns his No. 2 Chevrolet and the No. 33 Hornaday drives, led 187 of 250 laps in winning his second truck series race of the season in as many starts and the eighth of his career. He started from the pole after rain washed out Friday's qualifying. Brian Ickler ran third, with points leader Timothy Peters fourth and Johnny Benson fifth.
Harvick chose the outside lane when he and Hornaday teamed up for a side-by-side restart on Lap 232, after contact from Hornaday turned the No. 13 Chevy of Sauter to cause the 11th and final caution of the race 10 laps earlier. An angry Sauter confronted Hornaday on pit road after the race.
"I don't know if he got into the curb or checked up or whatever, but I got into him pretty good," Hornaday said after the exchange. "It was a tough day. I hate to see that, but Johnny's all mad, and that's what truck racing's all about."
Harvick, working for the first time with new crew chief Butch Hylton, passed Peters for the lead on Lap 190 and held it the rest of the way.
"It was a lot of fun for me, just for the fact that the thing was so dominant to drive," Harvick said. "I didn't really have to do a whole lot different—I just drove my line every lap, and we were able to make our way through traffic when we needed to.
"When we passed the 17 (Peters) for the lead there, it looked like his truck started to get a little loose getting into the corner, and we were able to capitalize on that."
Notes: Peters' series lead is now 59 points over sixth-place finisher Aric Almirola. Todd Bodine, the points leader coming into Saturday's race, finished 30th after his truck overheated. … Narain Karthikeyan, a former Formula One driver from India, finished 13th in his truck series debut after taking advantage of two free passes back to the lead lap. … Harvick's margin of victory was 1.552 seconds. … Hornaday, the defending series champion, gained 16 positions to 12th in the standings. He started the race in 31st position.

Is My Mortgage Fha FHA loans are typically 30 year mortgages (A mortgage is a fancy way of saying a loan with a house used as collateral) but can have 15 year terms. Most FHA loans have fixed interest rates, which means the interest rate will not change at any point throughout the loan term.
