In the past month, a feud has erupted in the financial media and across capital markets between defenders of the Fed, who praise the return of its unprecedented easing in the form of $60BN in monthly T-Bill purchases, by refusing to call it by its real name, and instead the Fed's fanclub calls it "not QE" (just so it doesn't appear that ten years after the Fed first launched QE, we are back to square one), and those who happen to be intellectually honest, and call the largest permanent expansion in the Fed's balance sheet, meant to ease financial conditions and boost liquidity across the financial sector, for what it is: QE.
It is this same "not QE" that has boosted the Fed's balance sheet by $200BN in one month, the fastest rate of increase since the financial crisis.
Yet while the Fed's desire to purchase Bills instead of coupon Treasuries was dictated by its superficial desire to distinguish the current "Not QE" from previous "True QEs", even though both tends to inject the same amount of liquidity into the system, which as a reminder is what the Fed's bailout role in the past 11 years has all been about, and only true Fed sycophants are unable to call a spade a spade, the Fed's choice raises a rather thorny question of where the Fed will source those T-bills, because as JPMorgan calculates, the net supply of Bills in 4Q19 and 1Q20 is around $115-$130bn while JPM's economists estimate that at least $200-$250bn of purchases could be required to return reserves to around $1.5tr where they were in early September this year.
That means the Fed might need to source purchases from money-market funds and foreign central banks - which paradoxically would serve to further drain liquidity out of the system. As such, given the limited alternatives, JPM's Nikolas Panagirtzoglou believes that the Fed may be reluctant to do so and if they do, some may chose to leave cash in the Fed's ON RRP facility which would represent a drain on reserves and make T-bills a less efficient vehicle for reserve creation.
Another key question: what if just returning to the previous reserve baseline is not sufficient, and the Fed needs to return reserves to a higher level than $1.5tr? Indeed, with close to $200bn of reserves injected via overnight and term repos for much of this week...
... helping to return reserves to around $1.5tr on a temporary basis from less than $1.4tr in mid-September, money markets appear especially vulnerable to volatility.
Indeed, in a week when the Treasury's General Account with the Fed increased by $60bn, depleting reserves, both Fed Funds and the broader OBFR rates median rates rose again to 10bp above IOER on Tuesday Oct 15th after having settled at around 3bp above IOER and at IOER respectively after the quarter-end hurdle had been cleared. And the SOFR median rate rose to 20bp above IOER after having settled at 2-5bp above IOER after the quarter-end effects had settled.
There is another reason why the Fed's stated intention to only buy Bills will soon have to be adjusted to incorporate short-maturity (at first) Treasury bonds, and it has to do with the total open market purchases planned by the Fed. If the Fed would need to return reserves to a higher level, say to around the $1.7tr level in Dec 2018 when the 75th percentile of the Fed funds market began to persistently print above IOER, this could imply a further $200bn of purchases. JPM finds that "in principle" this could be completed in 2Q20 if the Fed were to sustain T-bill purchases at a pace of $60bn per month, which it set as the initial pace, but it would still imply a longer period of reserves being at a relatively tight level than if $1.5tr would be a sustainable level. But that would assume purchases at a continuous (rather than initial) pace of $60bn/m pace are sustainable, and ignores the prospect that purchases from MMFs and foreign central banks could prompt them leaving cash in the Fed's ON RRP facility thereby draining some of the intended reserve injection.
Currently, close to $300bn of cash has been deposited with the Fed via the ON RRP facility, primarily by foreign RRP counterparties for whom the nearly $300bn is close to its recent highs. By contrast, other, largely domestic, counterparties' use of the ON RRP facility has collapsed to just $2bn, well below a high of nearly $450bn in late 2015, as institutions have a far more pressing needs for cash (liquidity) than collateral securities ("collateral shortage" was the big story in 2014-2017, just ask Zoltan Pozsar).
If T-bill purchases start to put upward pressure on ON RRP facility use, the Fed may eventually need to extend purchases to shorter-maturity Treasury bonds.
How and when the Fed shifts the composition of its purchases, however, is of secondary importance; a far more important question is why precisely did the Fed feel compelled to start monetizing debt, whether one calls it QE or not. The simple answer is that in a world in which all central bank-sourced liquidity is now fungible, JPM has found that without the Fed buying Treasuries across the curve, the ECB's QE on its own would be unlikely to offset the negative G4 central bank duration absorption impulse from the BoJ's efforts to re-steepen its domestic yield curve.
And that, in one sentence, is what really matters: not whether the Fed's monetization of debt is called QE or 'not QE' (spoiler alert: it is QE as it injects liquidity, impacts rates, eases financial conditions and supports risk assets), but that without the Fed's intervention, the global central bank balance sheet would shrink again, which if left unchecked would promptly lead to a market crash, the same way the markets crashed in late 2018 when QT was on "autopilot."
JPM's Nikolas Panagirtzoglou reaches that stark conclusion by revisiting his previous analysis that estimated the proportion duration that central banks removed from the market by adjusting both central bank holdings and outstanding government bonds to 10-year equivalent terms; back then, he assumed that instead of Bills, the Fed would purchase short-dated Treasuries. So, now that we know that the Fed will, for at least a few months, be buying Bills (before eventually shifting to shorter maturity bonds), the updated projections for the Fed is shown with the dashed lines (while the original one is the solid line).
In other words, rather than rising gradually to reverse some of the reduction in duration absorption in recent years, the duration absorption would merely stabilize around current levels.
Of course, the Fed's asset holdings impact the global central bank balance shee: the dashed red line shows the impact of the Fed going down the path of T-bill purchases on aggregate G4 central bank duration absorption, which suggests G4 duration absorption is set to continue declining roughly in line with its pace thus far this year. In other words, the ECB's net QE purchases alone look set to be insufficient to offset the impact of the BoJ's effort to steepen its domestic curve. It is also the reason why the Fed has initially started monetizing Bills, and why in the very near future, the Fed will be compelled to expanding the universe of eligible assets to regular Treasuries.
What are the conclusions? First, the Fed's choice to monetize Bills leaves open questions over whether the Fed will be able to source sufficient T-bills to facilitate a permanent increase in its reserves, particularly if it has to increase them significantly above current levels, and whether trying to do so would risk offsetting reserve drainage through increased use of its ON RRP facility.
But the top finding is that as a result of the BOJ's quiet tapering of its own QE...
... as Japan struggles to re-steepen its yield curve and which on October 1 caused a marketwide margin call, and sent shockwaves around the globe, the ECB's QE on its own would be unlikely to offset the negative G4 central bank duration
absorption impulse from the BoJ. As such, the Fed had to step in, if only to keep the G4 central bank balance sheet from shrinking. And that - not whether it's called QE or something else - is what matters, as that's the real reason the Fed had to step in. As a result, as Bank of America's Michael Hartnett recently noted, the fix is in again, and after going nowhere for 2 years, the central banks' balance sheet is back to $16.1 trillion and is expected to hit $18 trillion in roughly two years.
Whatever you do, though, just don't call the coming surge in the global central bank balance sheet to a new all time highs, QE.

05/21/2007 –For businesses data reliability and performance are top priorities. To address this, the 1U4500 Rackmount NAS Server from Thecus Technology offers blazing performance and strong data security features in a convenient 1U form factor. The folks at Small Net Builder recently put the 1U4500 to the test, and found out just how impressive the 1U4500 is. In fact, the 1U4500 delivered performance that bested every RAID 5 NAS tested to date!
Small Net Builder looks at the 1U4500's physical characteristics: "Given the constraints of the 19" form factor, Thecus could include only four drives in the 4500 instead of the five in the desktop N5200. But with a little ingenuity, it managed to keep the N5200's LCD display by encasing it in a thin aluminum case that swings up out of the way, should you need to replace the hard drive behind it...Thecus has improved the design of the trays over the N5200's and I found them much more robust...The rear panel shot in Figure 2 is for the 1U4500S version which Thecus provided for review. There's also a 1U4500R model with a second, redundant, hot-swappable 250W power supply. This is a nicer design choice than the redundant power unit required by Linksys' NSS series, which costs around $800 and requires another 1U rackmount space."
Editors were expecially impressed with its top-notch performance: "Another thing worth mentioning is that it took only four hours to build and sync a 1TB RAID 5 array. Other RAID 5 NASes I've tested lately took 12+ hours to do the same job... I used the NAS Charts to plot the throughput vs. filesize comparison plots shown in Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 shows both the 4500 and 5200 besting the Linksys NSS4000 for RAID 5 writes with a gigabit 4k jumbo frame LAN connection and the 4500 also beating the 5200... The upshot is that the 4500 has a performance edge over the 5200 and most other RAID 5 NASes tested to date."
The conclusion: "Thecus continues to expand its product line, keeping its primary focus on throughput. The 1U4500 seems to provide a good value proposition over its rackmount competition with its BYOD approach and optional integrated redundant power supply...It's a hell of a fast NAS with a decent feature set."

April 30th, 2018
Days in school: 139
Math – This week, students learned how to read/write the time to the minute on both analog and digital clocks. We also discussed how to say and record the time in different ways. For example, for 8:15, we can say: "fifteen minutes after eight", "quarter-after eight", or "forty-five minutes to nine." Students found the elapsed time concepts a bit more challenging, and they should continue to explore the amount of time that passes in both hours and minutes. For example, if it is 4:30pm now, what time will it be in 8 hours and 10 minutes? The 24-hour clock was an interesting concept for students, and one that they seemed to understand. Students are reminded that when we use the 24-h clock, we use 4-digits to write the time (i.e. 6:30 A.M. is written 06:30 and 6:30 P.M. is written 18:30). Both 4E and 4F classes will write their Telling Time quiz on Monday and should review the notes in their red math duotangs over the weekend!
Prodigy – Many 4E and 4F students have still not completed the Telling Time assignment posted in Prodigy. When students log in, it will automatically run so students can read and answer the assigned questions. This Telling Time assignment will help students prepare for Monday's quiz!
Estimation Station – There were 444 cm of yarn in our Estimation Station jar this week. Congratulations to C.B. in 4F who came closest with an estimate of 439 cm. That was an incredible estimate!
Problem of the Week – This week's math problem is posted below. It involves calculating area. Good luck, 4E and 4F students!
Science – 4E and 4F students began the final unit of the year in Science: Plant Growth and Changes. They enjoyed planting bean seeds on Monday and have been busy observing and monitoring their cups each day (see photos posted below). Today we saw our first sprout in D.O's cup! Students also spent time setting up their bean plant observation log in their Creative Journals, and will continue to observe and record changes to their plant over time.
Task Design Challenge #2 - Today, grade four students were all split up into new classrooms to take on a task design challenge. This challenge had students collaborating to design and then build a carnival ride or game fit for little critters. The carnival projects had to incorporate simple machines studied in our previous science unit, with at least one moving part. Grade fours worked really well with their new classmates and teachers, and were able to construct some pretty neat games and rides in just two hours! Please see the photos posted below from the "Critter Carnival" projects built in my classroom today. Great job, Kodiaks!
Monthly Letters – April's monthly letter will be written and sent home with students on Monday. We had such a busy day today with the task design challenge that we ran out of time for it!
Flex – Students continue to share their favourite childhood stories during our flex time. Next week, we'll look forward to hearing stories from: R.G, S.H, S.P, O.Q, M.S. and B.S. in 4F!
Miscellaneous – We had a wonderful time on our field trip yesterday. The students learned a lot about the waste disposal systems in Calgary and had fun too! A big thank you to our parent volunteers - Ms. Bennett, Ms. Birkett, Ms. Luhning, Ms. MacIntyre, Ms. Orr, Ms. Siemens, and Ms. Sturtevant. We REALLY appreciated your time and support! I took some photos during the trip and have posted them below.
4F's swim lesson permission forms were sent home with students on Thursday. Please complete/return the forms to me by Tuesday. The students are really looking forward to swimming at Vivo in the coming weeks!
We have a few more opportunities for parents to volunteer with various events happening at Nose Creek in the next couple months! If you are interested and available on the following dates, we'd love to have you support our students. Please connect with your child's homeroom teacher if you'd like to volunteer for any of the events posted below...
- April 30-May 4 (4E's Swim Lessons at Vivo )
- May 7-11 (4F's Swim Lessons at Vivo)
- May 17 (4E/4F Pysanky Eggs Workshop)
- June 6 (4E/4F Heritage Park trip)
Please remember to send a water bottle to school each day for students to drink and keep in our classroom. Our classroom can get very warm at this time of the year and students need to stay hydrated! 4E and 4F's should also have a pair of indoor shoes to wear at school each and every day. These also need to be kept at school on our shoe shelf. Finally, if students are riding their bike or scooter to school, they are highly encouraged to lock it up; students should not share their lock combinations with their peers.
Food trucks are coming to Nose Creek School on Friday, May 4th! Students will get their truck bucks that day, and other students are welcome to bring cash. One truck buck equals $1 cash. Grade four students will access the food trucks from 8:30-9:30 A.M. on Friday.
Drama Club begins next week for grade four students! We will meet in the Foods Room after school on Wednesday from 3-4pm. See you then!
As always, if you have any questions, please ask. Thank you for continuing to support your children at school... we only have nine more weeks together until Summer Break!

4E and 4F students received this copy of vocabulary terms for our new unit in Science. Students should make a good effort to learn and memorize each of these terms.
Days in school: 134
Math – Students continued to work through "Telling Time" concepts and skills in math this week. They discussed and worked through various Calendar Time activities, including metric notation and reading/recording dates in both words and numbers. We also debated the different ways that dates can be interpreted, such as 03/04/79. As well, Students began to explore telling time to the hour (5:00), quarter after hour (5:15), half hour (5:30) and quarter to hour (5:45). They are learning to read both analog and digital clocks much more fluently now, but should continue to read and tell time daily for practice. Students enjoyed playing a game of Telling Time BINGO yesterday, which had them reading clocks and placing chips on their cards in hopes of winning a prize from the Ross Box!
Science – In Science, students had an eventful week as we wrapped up our Simple Machines unit. After spending time researching catapults last week, students were able to put their understanding to the test as they constructed their own unique marshmallow catapults! Students loved using their catapults to complete in our five "Catapult Olympics" events. I was extremely pleased with students' catapult projects and also how they supported and cheered on their classmates through each of the events! Rubrics with grades for the Marshmallow Catapult Project will be sent home next week. Our next unit in science will be: Plant Growth and Changes.
Upcoming Events and Important Dates -
- 4F Swim Ability Forms are due on Monday. If I don't have your form, I have emailed you!
- NCS's Earth Week is next week, including the homeroom Door Decorating Contest!
- 4E/4F Composting and Shepard Landfill Field Trip is on Thursday.
Here are some photos from our Marshmallow Catapult Project and Olympics!
Telling Time online activities
Days in school: 130
Math – Students began their Telling Time unit in math this week! They learned about ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.), as well as day and month abbreviations - e.g. Monday = Mon. and January = Jan. Students also learned that some months have thirty days, while other months have thirty-one days. And sometimes February has twenty-eight days and sometimes it has twenty-nine! Students enjoyed reading and discussing the months poem posted below.
4E and 4F students also began learning how to read time on both analog and digital clocks; they will continue to explore these, as well as elapsed time concepts in the coming week. Students wrote a short pop quiz on Wednesday, and I will distribute the quizzes with grades for parental review on Monday. Students should continue to explore and review the notes in their math duotang daily and throughout this unit as some concepts appear to be very challenging for students.
Prodigy – Students are always encouraged to log into Prodigy at home in their spare time to brush up on their math skills and understanding of concepts. There are a series of telling time challenges set up on Prodigy for 4E and 4F students to explore and tackle. Good luck!
Problem of the Week – This week's problem is posted below. In the problem this week students will look at the value of coins. They will need to use approximation skills and estimation. Enjoy!
Estimation Station – We had a tricky Estimation Station set up this week, thanks to T.O. from 4F. We will discuss the outcome on Monday!
Science – Students spent their class time this week researching and beginning to construct marshmallow catapults! The Marshmallow Catapult project will be the last one for this unit and students are very excited about it! A list of materials for this project was posted below earlier in the week, and students are welcome to bring in their own supplies too. 4E and 4F will use their catapults to complete in our very own Catapult Olympics! Here are a few photos from the research and construction process so far...
A big thank you and kudos to Mackenzie who brought in and shared her homemade trebuchet this week! The students loved seeing how the trebuchet worked and also spent some time comparing its parts and function to the catapult. It was a wonderful learning experience for everyone!

Tips for Remembering Names at a Networking Event
Networking events can be nerve-wracking. You might find that after you've finished a conversation, you're too busy breathing a sigh of relief to process what you just learned, or who it was you even spoke to. It will greatly help you to remember all the personalities you've socialized with once you get home, when you can actually do something with the information. What follows are some easy tips on how to remember names at any networking event.
Focus on the people you're conversing with – Have you ever been introduced to someone, and then seconds later, you haven't a clue what their name is? Often times, people going into a conversation at networking events tend to plan what they will be saying, and end up focusing too much on themselves. Rather than getting stuck in your head, try and take a deep breath and relax. Genuinely listen to the other person and hear their name instead of anxiously awaiting your turn to speak in the conversation.
Use their name – Using their name after you learn it will help cement it into your mind. Casually drop it into a statement you're making or question you're asking. For example: "Nice to meet you, Lisa."
Don't be afraid to ask again – If you don't quite catch their name, don't be afraid to ask for it again. Similarly, if you've forgotten their name, ask for it again. The sooner you raise the fact that you've forgotten it, the less embarrassing it will be (they may even have forgotten your name too, which gives them a much-appreciated opening to asking for yours again too!). For example, you can say, "I'm really sorry, but I've forgotten your name. Would you mind repeating it?"
Make an association – Making an association in your mind is a great way to attach the person to the name. For example, you might think "Claire was wearing that beautiful green top." Or "Mike is the quirky soccer-loving teacher."
Get their business card – After you have finished speaking with that person, scribble down any details you can on the back of their card. This will help remind you who they are later on.
Check that you have the pronunciation right – If the name is difficult to pronounce, double check that you're saying it correctly or ask them to spell it. This can provide a nice segue into asking for the meaning or significance of that person's name, making for a more personal connection.

I'm going to build large files server, and need stack-overflow community advice for file system choice (linux).
File server is going to serve 1-2GB sized static files (mostly different with every request) via Nginx, under constant moderate write to the disks (RAID5 SATA/7200 disks massive). Write to read ratio is about 1:5-10, for every 1 byte written per second, 5-10 are read. Most important for me is read performance, I can live with slower writes.
What Linux file system would be the best solution for this task? And why :) Thanks!

The Jeevan Pramaan software is not installed correctly. Why is this happening and what's the solution?
To install the software correctly, make sure that you already have Net Framework and currently released Visual C++ Runtimes. Once you verified that the libraries are installed, proceed with the actual installation of Jeevan Pramaan software.
Also, when installing, right click the setup package and choose Run as Administrator, for every version of Windows higher than Windows XP. It should work afterwards.

The Shackleton Aviation Group is formed around several core members of the old Shackleton Preservation Trust that owned WR963 after its sale by Air Atlantique.
The group aim is the preservation, maintenance and operation of Avro Shackleton WR963 in taxying condition, with the intent to return it to flight - but this last aim is dependant on several outside factors, including satisfying the Civil Aviation Authorities.
Volunteers form a large part of the team that work on the Shackleton and we still actively recruit!
As a substantial number of our volunteers come from a military background, some of which are still serving we maintain our support to our Armed Forces.
We are signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant and currently hold the Armed Forces Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze Award.
Find out more about WR963's history and the people that shaped her present below.
RAF Service
1954 - 1991
WR963 was part of the second - and last - batch of Avro Shackleton MR2 built by Avro; the famous comany that built the legendary Lancaster. Racking up an impressive 15,483 flying hours over a 37 year period spanning the globe; WR963 was rebuilt no less than three times.
Serving with 224, 210, 38 and 205 Sqn, the later and larger part of service was as an Airborne Early Warning platform with 8 Sqn operating out of RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland.
1997 - 2016
The Shackleton Preservation Trust was a Charity created by David Liddell-Grainger, to operate the two Shackletons he purchased under this name. Although there are several references to the Trust in 1990/91 it wasn't actually an entity or charity until 1993. It maintained close links with Air Atlantique and supported their work but by the late 1990 after WL790 had departed to the USA it had become virtually dormant.
The SPT enjoyed a revival when Sqn Ldr (ret) John Cubberley formed a new group to take care of the Shackelton, initially as the 'Atlantique Avro Shackleton Support Group', then later as the renewed SPT.
WR963 went from strength to strength and over a period of time enjoyed a brief outing on Coventry's runway which had her fast taxying to the point of flight; and then a few years later out on the taxiway in front of several thousand people for a farewell event to Vulcan XH558.
Air Atlantique
1991 - 2012
In 1991 David Liddell-Grainger, under the name of the 'Shackleton Preservation Trust', purchased two Shackletons at a Sotheby's Defence Auction and had them delivered to Coventry Airport where ownership, maintenance and operation was taken on by Air Atlantique.
Air Atlantique were the perfect choice - a company legendary in the UK for operation of the fleet of DC3, and DC6 aircraft as well as the Classic Flight which comprised several smaller piston types and Cold War jets.
Air Atlantique tried hard to return a Shackleton to the UK skies but were foiled at every try, eventually resorting to sending one aircraft (WL790) out to the USA, where it flew until 2009 and remains to this day. WR963 remained at Coventry.
2016 - present
In late 2016 various factors affected the running of SPT, and it rapidly became unviable for it to operate WR963 and to meet charitable objectives. A new way was needed.
Long time volunteer and SPT Trustee David Woods had acquired WR963 from Air Atlantique in 2009, and after a period of consultation with other volunteers on the project and with some other Shackleton groups it was decided a CIC needed to be formed to continue the work.
The Shackleton Aviation Group was formed, and while business as usual seems to be the way with the aircraft in that running and taxying are the plan - a ground up approach has been taken with regards to the support structure, paving a way to returning a Shackleton to UK skies once more.

Fearless Flitzing: Dartmouth's Strange Communication
A couple of weeks ago, I read an article about the mating ritual of seahorses for a biology class about animal communication. The paper describes how a male seahorse will show interest in a female via a prolonged courtship dance, hoping to secure her as a life-long mate.
In the field of ecology, communication is defined as the signaling of information from a sender to a receiver. Animals send signals to one another to communicate anything from an approaching predator to sexual interest. Individuals of the same species have unique signals that allow them to communicate with one another in ways that other species may not understand.
Of course, this applies to humans too. We are all constantly signaling to one another, expressing happiness, anger, confusion, interest and fright in various ways every day. And as young people we take full advantage of the many methods at our disposal that allow us to interact with one another.
In a way, Dartmouth students are their own species of college student. Perhaps this happened as a result of our isolation, like Darwin's Galapagos finches. On this remote campus, it is easy for us to forget our uniqueness. But when faced with an influx of young strangers, it becomes incredibly apparent that we exchange many signals that outsiders do not understand. The looks of bemusement on prospies' faces in response to words like "Foco," "facetimey," "flair" and even "prospie" betray our speciation.
But it's no secret that we have our own lingo; in fact, the '20s will be relieved to find glossaries of Dartmouth slang online. The real mysteries of student communication are far subtler.
Take the blitz, for example. When I first came to Dartmouth, the concept of blitz confused me for weeks. It seemed to lie in some blurry haze between texting and email that took some time to get the hang of. Francesca Governali '18 finds that often the transition from blitz to text can get awkward, especially with someone you do not know very well.
Blitz, text and GroupMe seem to be the most useful signal modalities for spreading information to campus, meeting with friends or communicating in a group project. But what of the most distinct, meaningful act of communication: romance?
"Flitz, of course," Ariel Klein '17 said of the Dartmouth flirting scene. "It speaks to the larger culture of the school that people are willing to meet new people that they don't know and take a leap and a risk. But also, it's sometimes weird if you're talking to someone you don't know."
Flitzing, or flirty blitzing, is certainly a hallmark of the Dartmouth romantic scene. It's something that everyone talks about, but seemingly few people have in fact had positive experiences from.
Juliana Levy '19 received her first flitz last term.
"I think flitzes can be so uncomfortable," she said. "[The flitz] was really elaborate. It was like a rhyming song-poem."
Levy did not respond to the flitz, but she also added that success really does depend on the person behind the message.
The indirect aspect of flitzing seems to be representative of the way Dartmouth students express interest in one another in general. For animals, decoding signals is often quite straightforward. Bright coloring is designed to attract mates, alarm calls warn that a predator is nearby, a scent-trail marks the path to a food source. Take the seahorses, for example. A courtship dance clearly communicates to the female that the male is interested and ready to mate. Biologists can observe and interpret these signals.
But understanding the meaning behind things that people do isn't always so easy. Perhaps especially so at Dartmouth.
"I think a lot of it is covered with these innuendos and stuff, like, you know, 'Do you want to play pong with me?'" Klein said.
It is difficult to find a straight answer to the question of the true nature of pong-partner relationships. But it isn't hard to see why the slightly-intoxicated-in-a-dimly-lit-basement-working-as-a-team dynamic might take an amorous turn.
"It's a bizarre thing that's definitely Dartmouth-specific, but asking someone to play pong is definitely an indication that someone likes you," Klein said.
Grace Callahan '19 felt differently. She said that while pong certainly can involve romantic undertones, it's perfectly normal to play with a friend without any implication of the sort. After Callahan said this, Lydia Blanchet '19 jumped in: "There's definitely sexual tension no matter what."
Even if pong is taken to be romantic, its exact implications are still murky. While it could suggest genuine interest and a desire to spend time with someone, it also seems to have the stigma of being a precursor to hooking up.
Ambiguity can be seen in meal invitations as well. Of course most people have had the experience of seeing an old tripee or floormate and exchanging offers to grab lunch sometime. How does one distinguish a casual invitation to catch-up from something more meaningful? Many people seem to use the venue of the meal as an indicator.
"In terms of on-campus places, I don't think it matters. If it was off-campus it would definitely make a difference," Governali said.
While this is a common view, some people find subtle differences between on-campus locations as well. KAF dates, for example, certainly imply something more than just stopping at Foco after class. In fact, Governali mentioned two friends who had a first date at KAF and are now dating.
Isaac Green '17 felt strongly about the distinctions between on-campus dining locations.
"If you hook up with someone and then they ask you to have a meal, upstairs Foco is the way to go," he said. "First of all, it's kind of discrete, so if you don't want people to, like, see you, it's great. Secondly, it facilitates the opportunity to hit it off if you do, but there's no pressure if you don't because it's Foco."
Then again, perhaps it's not so much the place as the person asking.
"It's not significant on its own. But if I like someone, asking them to a meal is something I would do," Blanchet said.
It seems that the only clear thing about romantic communication at Dartmouth is that it is incredibly unclear. It's no wonder that evidence of confusion over mixed signals can easily be found on Yik Yak. We have all seen the late-night yaks expressing bewilderment and frustration over being unable to interpret certain signals and behaviors.
Why, then, must everything be so shrouded in uncertainty? Perhaps, Klein suggests, people use ambiguous signals as a defense mechanism to avoid hurt.
"The fear of rejection, especially at Dartmouth where people are used to succeeding, is just so big," she said. "When people finally work up that courage they're so proud of themselves, they don't want all of that to be for naught."
When animals communicate, their signals must be direct in order for survival. Perhaps it is a shame that Dartmouth students don't have the same evolutionary requirements as wild animals.
"A lot of direct communication is often not what happens here, and it should," Klein added.

DICE have revealed that some Frostbite engine-powered PC games will require a 64-bit operating system in 2013.
Whilst 64-bit operating systems have been around since 2003, over half of PC users still don't own one, even if they do have a 64-bit processor.
This news comes from Johan Andersson, Rendering Architect at DICE. He announced on twitter that "We'll have Frostbite-powered games in 2013 that will _require_ a 64-bit OS. If you are on 32-bit, great opportunity to upgrade to Windows 8".
Andersson's comments have more than a hint of product placement about them, especially considering that both Vista and Windows 7 already support 64 bit and can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of a brand new OS.
We can only speculate as to which DICE games may require 64-bit, but we can hazard a guess at this potentially referring to Bad Company 3, Mirror's Edge 2 or Battlefield 4, all of which have been hinted at in recent weeks.

A trip that wasn't needed
So what was the point?
A number of Bridgeport City Council members were scheduled to take a trip to Miami this weekend to get a firsthand look at some of the Steel Point developer's completed projects. A fine idea in the abstract, but for a perpetually cash-strapped city, it was an unnecessary extravagance.
It was far from a luxury junket -- the one-day trip was to include more travel time than anything else, and little time to waste. Still, the information to be gained was nebulous from the start.
"Photos are one thing," said council member Robert Curwen. "I want to see some of the tangible things. For a billion-dollar deal, I think it's important."
It is important. But, really, did the council think the developer's buildings were simply made up? Part of some scheme to soak the Bridgeport taxpayer with fictional tales of waterfront condos?
Simple research, from home, could have easily proven or disproven everything the developer has said.
And with the one-day turnaround, there was little hope of gaining much insight. "We are going to have the ability to talk to anybody we want to," council President Thomas McCarthy said. Another way to accomplish that goal? A telephone.
The City Council made a similar trip just three years ago, and did not need the negative publicity that goes along with this kind of fact-finding mission. It wasn't necessary.

A great solution for staying hydrated when space and storage is an issue. The Raidlight soft flask is a step up on a lot of the competition with the press to drink approach and clever design features to work well in a range of conditions.
Raidlight says:
The 600ml EazyFlask weights 50g. It's one our latest innovation , combined with innovative EazyFlaskTM and our system "Press To Drink " The EazyFlask " Press To Drink", the most versatile means of hydration of the market.
The EazyFlask "Press to drink" behaves as a rigid bottle without the water sloshing effect and can be folded in on itself for a minimum of space!
Provided with a bent pipette, it facilitates hydration and protects against thermal effects.
Raidlight's EazyFlask 350ml is a soft flask which squashes, rolls or folds down as it empties to save space. It is designed as a press to drink bottle meaning that you're not sucking and getting out of breathe trying to drink while running which is a massive benefit. The soft flask is steadily overtaking the traditional hard bottle for a range of athletes and enthusiasts alike and it's easy to see why when you use them.
The tube from the bottle has a sleeve to lower the impact of the weather on your drink. There is an additional, small bite valve if you prefer that to the standard tube and valve. The option will come in handy when you're working out which works best for you during training and race conditions.

Great reporting. It's where the building gets its air, so if you smoke near there, everybody in the building is smoking, too.
Jul 5, 2012 at 12:59 pm
It means that the area is next to an intake valve for a building. If people smoke next to it, then the smoke gets sucked into the ventilation system for the building, causing all of the rooms inside to smell like smoke (especially bad if those rooms have no windows!). Believe me, these are a good thing for those who don't want their office to constantly smell of pot smoke!

One hundred and thirty eight pigeonpea genotypes were analyzed for molecular genetic diversity using 34 SSR markers with putative function for drought tolerance. The study revealed considerable molecular genetic diversity among genotypes. Fifty two alleles were obtained with 34 SSR markers while, 1 to 3 alleles was scored with an average of ~1.6 alleles for each SSR. Three alleles were amplified by markers ASSR1, ASSR93 and ASSR97. Of these, 15 SSR markers were found to be polymorphic which identified 33 alleles among 138 genotypes. The average PIC value of these polymorphic SSRs was 0.22 with a range of 0.01 for ASSR308 to 0.38 in ASSR97. Significant positive correlation was observed between PIC values with number of alleles amplified per primer (r = 0.58*, P < 0.05), and gene diversity (r = 0.99**, P < 0.01) and between allele number and gene diversity (r = 0.57*, P<0.05). The average genetic distance for all pair wise comparisons was estimated as 0.27. The highest genetic distance of 0.69 was recorded between genotypes PAU-881 and LRG-41. Cluster analysis, done by UPGMA following Nei's similarity matrix and population structure analyses grouped 138 pigeonpea genotypes into seven sub-populations.

It is the first time to carry HOVR cushioning technology, which has attracted much attention since its exposure. It has an all-round evolution in both design and configuration!
The designer of UA curry 6 basketball shoes is an old acquaintance, led by Leon Gu, who once designed curry 2.5. I believe that in 2016, the exclusive color of Monkey King and Erlang God will be impressed.
As the first colorway officially released, curry 6 "Fox theater" was named after and inspired by the reconstruction of the iconic building fox theatre in Auckland in 2009.
This curry 6 basketball shoes is a disruptive evolution in cushioning, support and outsole based on the advantages of previous generations!
First of all, the appearance of the shoe adopts black and gray to set off the fluorescent hue, and the midsole is gradually presented, with a high degree of visual expression.
Fabrics of different density and elastic strength, with hot-melt reinforcement injected with glitter powder, rubber and leather to create tongue and heel support and other details, strengthen different parts of the feet.
The midsole cushioning is undoubtedly a highlight of the curry 6 basketball shoes. After micro g and charged, the latest boots are equipped with the new cushioning black technology HOVR developed by UA.
Previously, it was first used on running shoes, with remarkable elastic feedback and good reputation. This is the first time to appear in Kuri's boots, and also the first time to apply full-length HOVR cushioning technology to UA's basketball shoes.
Curry 6 basketball shoes encapsulates the cushioning material with a powerful compressed energy grid, combining cushioning absorption with kinetic rebound to provide better underfoot feedback.
The outline of the whole outsole still follows the streamlined design language of front low and back high, which looks very fast and sci-fi.
The SC logo with a huge heel is definitely a reserved program for fans of the library. It's good-looking and stylish.
This time, the huge speed plate anti twist tablet runs from the extension of the forefoot to the midsole, and finally extends to the outside of the back palm. It is a very large piece, playing the role of anti twist and lateral support.
Avoid the soft tissue damage caused by the transition of the foot fold in the process of accelerating the breakthrough. In defense, it can also provide better lateral support under the fast translation of the dense pace, making the movement more agile and more stable.
At the same time, curry 6 basketball shoes retains the anti roll design of outward extension, and the heel is reinforced with circular hard rubber to lock the Achilles tendon, providing more stable protection for the breakthrough loving partners.
Through the analysis of Curie's movement in the game by the UA biomechanics team, a new separated outsole was created.
It adopts circular and longitudinal texture cross presentation to contact the ground as much as possible and increase the grip. The forepaw and back paw are designed with targeted cutouts. The exposed anti twist parts are Curie signature and "I can do all things".
In particular, lattice details are added to the toe of curry 6 basketball shoes. The overall outsole reduces weight and improves the agility of emergency stop and start. At the same time, the texture design is relatively strong, further enhancing the wear resistance, which is very suitable for the domestic playing environment.
In terms of details, the curry 6 basketball shoes shoelace adopts a flat design with a hot-melt reinforced shoelace hole to avoid the pressure on the foot surface caused by wearing it directly on the shoe body.
At the same time, the design of lifting and fixing the laces is added to the tongue part to keep the laces balanced and comfortable during the actual combat, making it easier to wear and take off.

Abstract/Artist's Statement
"Where do you summer?"
Through my senior project, I observe the historic stereotypes of the wealthy. Additionally, I investigate the way in which commerce capitalizes on the aspirations of many to identify with this small group. Architecture and apparel are the main subjects that I use in exploring this relationship.
Though it is not always a conscious process, our personal esthetic choices are often used to portray the lifestyle we have, or the lifestyle we want. A man wearing a suit may do so to signify that he doesn't perform manual labor, while a man wearing flannel and denim may do so to be protected from the elements. Wealthy urbanites come to the Hudson Valley in the fall and spring wearing flannel purchased at expensive boutiques to embody an "outdoorsy" persona. Teenagers in Midwestern exurbs wear pastel oxford shirts to identify with old-money elites of the east coast. Similarly, one often finds paneling in an office or study to conjure images of the architecture of elite places of learning, while a rural cabin may be bedecked in unfinished wood siding to portray closeness to its natural surroundings. While materials and elements in clothing and architecture are signifiers of class, styles seep back and forth across large swaths of the American populace, often losing their original class signatures. In my work I have deconstructed garments and adhered them to architectural elements, where they lose their human form. This shifts focus away from the person wearing the garment, and towards what the garment itself is signifying in conjunction with the architectural element with which it is joined. The textiles which are tightly adhered to the flat architectural surfaces emphasize the way in which clothing can act as a façade which provides some information in that same way that bricks or cladding do for a building. Interior and exterior architectural elements are both used and interspersed amongst each other within the installation, reflecting the complicated and unclear relationship between the identities we present, and the elements of our identity we are less inclined to share. Throughout my project, it was important to me to use colors that mimicked the colors we often find in men's apparel. In the wainscoting piece, I used charcoals, greys, and camels, which are often seen in men's suiting, along with reds and burgundies. These somber, muted greys connote professionalism and seriousness that one associates with "desk jobs." However, like a red tie worn with a black suit, red and burgundy punctuates the piece, and symbolizes the authority one desires to demand by wearing a suit. The exuberant pinks and pastel greens and creams used in the siding and other pieces are taken from the apparel of leisure. These colors make us think of the "preppy" lifestyle of summers spent by the seashore, a luxury that is desired by many. Finally, the burgundies and dark greens of the entrance of the room, are the colors or of outdoorsmen, and those who like to vacation in the outdoors.
In my senior project, I have used a fusion of architecture and apparel to explore a common desire to emulate the wealthy and elite in our culture. In a time in our history when class division and income inequality are central to the problems facing the country, I believe my work highlights a pervasive subconscious need held by many to identify oneself with this group.

A partnership is a cross-sector collaboration in which organisations work together in a transparent, equitable and mutually beneficial manner towards a sustainable development goal and where those defined as partners agree to commit resources and share the risks as well as the benefits associated with the partnership ….
The Partnering Initiative
Who We Are
Established in 2007, liveWELL CQ is a formal partnership of committed primary health, human services and community care organisations working together to achieve better health outcomes for Central Queenslanders.
We aim to facilitate the development of sustainable partnerships that will identify, develop and implement innovative, enduring health and wellbeing enhancement strategies. The partnership provides for strategic coordination, project delivery and system analysis that assists all partners to better align services, take full advantage of collaborative effort and plan for the future. liveWELL CQ works within the internationally accepted partnering principles of transparency, mutual benefit and equity.
Chair of liveWELL CQ
Mr Michael Shearer, Regional Executive Director, Central Queensland, Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services
Mr Michael Shearer is the Regional Executive Director, Central Queensland, Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services. Mick has worked in a number of Queensland government agencies in various parts of the state over the past 29 years.
A message from the Chair…
liveWELL CQ is a strategic partnership of key professionals across the health and human services sector in Central Queensland who are passionate about improving health and wellbeing outcomes. I first became interested in what was then the CQ Primary Care Partnership, when two of it's members explained the many benefits of being involved. As they outlined the range of skills and leadership caliber of those people already participating, I thought about the synergies that could be possible with the primary health and community services sectors aligning more closely, and even overlapping where possible. Over the years I have seen liveWELL CQ wax and wane as different people have come and gone and different priorities have emerged out of partners' aspirations, government reform and community need. The Partnership's enduring value in making positive transformational change for, and with, our community has been recognised both internally and externally. The value add of the Partnership is that each individual partner agency can advance their objectives as well as participate in the benefit of collective efforts through which every partner ultimately gains advantage. liveWELL CQ acts as an enabler rather than a doer – we build trust and relationships between each other to allow for opportunities to consider issues, design new solutions, address service gaps and respond to community needs as they arise. The strength and maturity of those relationships is really the essence of collaboration and forms the foundation upon which innovation can prosper. I am privileged to have the opportunity to be the Chair of liveWELL CQ and to partner with such a committed and talented group. I look forward to working closely with all partners into the future and continuing to strive for improved health and wellbeing outcomes for Central Queenslanders. Regards Mick

Broiling, cooking by exposing food to direct radiant heat, either on a grill over live coals or below a gas burner or electric coil. Broiling differs from roasting and baking in that the food is turned during the process so as to cook one side at a time. Temperatures are higher for broiling than for roasting; the broil indicator of a household range is typically set around 550 °F (288 °C), whereas larger commercial appliances broil between 700 and 1,000 °F (371 and 538 °C).
Fish, fowl, and most red meats are suitable for broiling. Steaks, popularly broiled over coals, can also be broiled in skillets or in the oven set on a seasoned wooden plank. In preparation of the entrée known as the London broil, or London mixed grill, flank steaks and other meats are garnished with vinegar, oil, and minced garlic before being placed on a rack and oven-broiled.

I mentioned that we saw an interesting custom built car yesterday in the previous post. Yes, it was interesting to look at portions of it at a time. While it totally eludes me why people build a Ford body, a modernized version of it anyway, and drop in a Corvette engine in it, the detail of various quarters were more interesting to me than the whole car. The side panels of the hood were either left open or the car was built without them. That allowed a clear view of the engine compartment and the finely detailed Corvette engine. The body had a very good paint job and I took advantage of the mirror-like finish to photograph a few abstractions of the environment. You will see them at the end. With so many curves and mirror-like finish, it was nearly impossible to keep my reflection outside the frame; you will see it in quite a few photographs here.
So, here is 1937 FordVette, for lack of a better way of naming it.

Book Review: The Pink Locker Society: Only Girls Allowed
That's the premise behind the new book series for middle-grade girls called The Pink Locker Society. In the first book, The Pink Locker Society: Only Girls Allowed, we meet eighth-graders Jemma, Kate, Piper and Bet, who each discover a pink door in the back of their locker that leads to a mysterious room! The girls learn that they have been inducted into The Pink Locker Society (PLS), a decades-old secret group that gives advice to other girls about the "PBBs" -- periods, bras, and boys!
At first, the girls are intimidated by their new job, in which they must research answers to questions submitted on the new PLS website. But as they realize how much their advice is helping their readers, they begin to get excited about the honor of being selected for the PLS. Unfortunately, trouble ensues. The PLS website is hacked, one of the girls is caught on camera coming out of her locker, and the principal learns about the society and wants to shut it down! How will the girls handle these threats to the PLS?
I really felt like I was back in junior high while reading this book! Jemma and her friends have all the same insecurities and crushes that I did ("Will I ever get my period?" "Does that boy like me?"). I can't wait to see the fate of the PLS in Book #2!
The Pink Locker Society: Only Girls Allowed is the first of four books planned for this series. Author Debra Moffitt is the kids' editor of KidsHealth.org, an extremely popular children's health site. Girls can visit PinkLockerSociety.org to learn more about this book, read a chapter, take polls, ask questions, and more!

The history of the ancient Venetian art of filigree summarized in a line of bijoux art. Thin gold and silver threads are treated with a finish of the past and modeled on exclusive shapes. The collection and the history of the brand are to be discovered.
The brand Yvone Christa was born in Los Angeles in 1991 from the intuition of the two designers Yvonne Clamf and Christina Söderström. Both Swedish, they know each other in Rome where they attend the School of Design. Also for studies they moved to Los Angeles, where they began to create jewels at home, around the kitchen table of the small apartment they share with other female students. Their first collection is born here. And the brand is born from their baptismal names. It's 1991. Success comes in a short time. It all starts when a screenwriter is involved in the absolute personality of their creations and asks the stylists to be able to wear them to the stars of two hugely successful television series: "Beverly Hills" and "Melrose Place". It's time to move to New York, a cult place for all the new trends.
Here every single piece of the brand is created by hand according to the ancient technique of Venetian filigree: the thin gold and silver threads, modeled and welded, are then treated with the antique finish. The sensitivity and dexterity of working silver 925, burnished or wetted in 22Kt gold, are the characteristics that make YVONE CHRISTA jewelry icons. Weld in such an impeccable way invisible curls and very fine threads of precious metal to create the shape designed by the stylists is the work of a few artisans in the world.
Three collections per year. They include new necklaces, chokers, bracelets, rings, brooches, earrings. And many best-sellers that remain. All YVONE CHRISTA jewels are decorated with semi-precious stones and pearls, carefully chosen to inspire the jewel of yesteryear. The great intuition was the "modernization" of the forms and the continuous research of an infinity of very original materials that embellish the jewel. From pearls to jades. From quartz to jaspers. To citrines, amethysts, tiger eyes, lapis, turquoises, corals, amazonites, carnelians, topazes, onyxes, jays and zircons. Until the very recent ones in bone and aqua lemuria. Nature in all its forms is always a source of great inspiration. The creations of YVONE CHRISTA have won celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Madonna, Cindy Crawford, Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Princess Victoria of Sweden, Kate Moss, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Heidi Klum.

Police in Ferguson, MO arrested two journalists for covering the protests over their fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager six. Officers shoved Wesley Lowery, of the Washington Post, into a soda machine for taping them, before he was cuffed in plastic binds. An officer rammed Ryan Grim's head against glass. The reporter for the Huffington Post wasn't packing up his reporting gear quickly enough. Both journalists' respective papers released statements condemning the Ferguson police, but the decline of free press reaches further than one town in Missouri.
Unfortunately state suppression of the press is hardly isolated to Ferguson. The problem goes all the way up to the White House, where the Obama Administration is preventing journalists from accurately reporting on policy.
According to The Society of Professional Journalists, the Obama Administration has engaged in "excessive message management and preventing journalists from getting information on behalf of citizens." The grievances were also supported by 37 other journalism and open government groups. The report details the use of "Public Information Officers," whose roles are to filter reports before they're available for mass consumption. Stories coming from the White House are trimmed and primed to perfection before the public can even get access to the latest information.
That's when they're not spying on journalists. Last year, the Justice Department subpoenaed all of the Associated Press's phone records while hunting for Edward Snowden. According to Human Rights Watch, the increase in U.S. surveillance has dramatically impacted journalism. They write, "The crackdown includes new restrictions on contact between intelligence officials and the media [and] an increase in leak prosecutions… Journalists interviewed for the report said that surveillance intimidates sources, making them more hesitant to discuss even unclassified issues of public concern."
On Wednesday, a group of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists banded together to demand the Department of Justice stop threatening reporters with jail. Their cries for sanctuary have been met with silence.
In a saddening review of the world's treatment of journalists, International NGO Reporters Without Borders rates 46 out of 180 countries in press freedom. The United Kingdom, Uruguay, and Poland all treat their press far better than in this country. "Freedom of Speech," as codified in the First Amendment, has all but deteriorated. The government has made it exceedingly difficult for reporters to ask hard questions and receive straight answers without repercussions. It's a lot easier for journalists today to report on click-bait than hard-hitting truths about our government.
In order for any democracy to properly function, the citizenry must be informed. Voters can't make informed choices without the press. Representation without information is not representation at all.
The Columbia Journalism Review released a story a few months ago unveiling how the media industry functions today; their analysis can be quickly summed up by the line: "Report first, ask questions later." This media model has triumphed over its old-media precursor--the Network-era news symbolized by Walter Cronkite--and this "new-media" model is here to stay. News agencies are far more focused on clicks and views, foregoing copy editing and fact checking.
While the public can't expect media to return to the Cronkite-era (nor would we want to--it was a time where all journalists were white men, news wasn't entertaining, and there was only one narrative to every news story), we can hope that accuracy becomes reprioritized. But the first step has to be demanding that the government doesn't get in the way of the press doing its job: informing the people. Press freedom needs to be a priority. Only after this problem gets addressed will we see a renaissance of quality journalism.
The United States, and its people, need to emphasize the importance of freedom of the press. This country cannot function as a "democracy" if its constituency is ill- or uninformed. Yes, a great deal of the media's misreporting and click-baiting is its own fault. But let's make it easier for the press to report on how our government is behaving--because for many, that's what we're interested in above all else.
This article has been corrected to reflect the newly-reported autopsy.

I have the same problem too. I tryed everything, but it didn't work.
Hi @ClaireRobinson13 ,
Let's try to find out what's the problem!
Would it be possible for you to share your computer details with us? Here's how to find them: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting...
Also, when you check at the bottom of the main menu, what game version do you see?
So when I went onto Origin today it automatically downloaded the Legacy Edition, lost all my saved games, all custom content, gallery etc. So I managed to retrieve my saved games by copying the files across. But as I have an older Mac, does this mean I've lost access to everything else except what I've got from the packs?
I understand updates and new systems I really do, but I'm not exactly rolling in cash to go and splash £1000 or so on a new PC/Mac and considering I spent the same amount of money on the packs as everyone else over the past few years and now have access to nothing and I'm guessing I can't purchase the Discover University tomorrow (the one pack I've really been waiting for) I'm really quite annoyed.
Is there going to be any update on this? Whether new packs will be able to be purchased or if for those that are now on the Legacy Edition will have their own gallery etc?
Happy Gaming
I don't work or have any association with EA. I give advice to the best of my knowledge and cannot be held responsible for any damage done to your computer/game.
Please only contact me via PM when asked to do so.
Important Threads
Genuinely gutted about Discover University It's still allowing me to preorder it though, guessing this is just an origin glitch? It's just a bit frustrating that now I won't get any updates, access to the gallery or be able to purchase future packs.
For some reason it wasn't showing a couple of packs but did the repair on the game and they are all there now, and I've got all my saved games. However everything that was in my own gallery like all households and lots I've created are now gone, is there anyway I can get them back?
Thank you for your reply!

@dkberry29 It should still be in the gallery so someone else could download it for you and send you the files. You can then put them in your tray folder and have them in your library at least.
Do you have any friends that still have access that could download them for you ?

Hi, so, I'm one of the unfortunate ones that owns an 8-year-old MacBook, which forces me to never try out the new game pack: Discover University's unless I buy a new computer. I did this 8 years ago and I think I'll pass on this one until it's necessary (the computer actually not functioning).
However I do want to still be able to play the Sims 4 so I downloaded the Legacy Edition. At first it managed to start with all my mods, saves and trays, but all the text was screwed up in the game. No text in the loading screens, no names, no way to change their relationships in CAS (husband-, sister-options.), no text in the actual gameplay. I wouldn't be able to select anything to do as the text bubbles didn't have text in it. I assumed it was because of the mods. So I took them out, tried to restart and now the game won't start at all. I tried a lot of different things, but now the game issues me to download the Legacy Edition in order for me to play, which I already have. How do I fix this? Does anyone have any idea?
Thank you
Hello. Why can't sims 4 LE have the gallery Ik Apple did some crap that can't support the older versions of Mac but what does the gallery have to do with this or packs. I love playing sims and I just got a lot of new houses from the gallery and now I can't use them and I'm also not the best at building houses.
