As bad as that Game 7 was, the games before it our goalies looked perfectly serviceable. And they looked significantly better than 2016 Vezina darlings Crawford (.907, 2.54 GAA), Lundqvist (.867, 4.39 GAA), and even Dubnyk (877, 3.34).
Our goaltending was *fargin'* terrible in the playoffs. It wasn't just game 7. The main reason both rounds went to a game seven was the atrocious goaltending.

Sign Up for Crime Alerts and Warrant Updates
As of December 31, 2012, the Wireless AMBER Alert Program ended operations as a part of the nation's transition to the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) program. Millions of cellphone users across the country will now receive free, automatic notifications about abducted children in their area as part of the WEA program.
CTIA and the wireless industry joined the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to offer WEA to supplement the existing Emergency Alert System. Consumers with WEA-capable smartphones and feature phones and services are automatically enrolled to receive AMBER alerts for free, along with Presidential and Imminent Threat Alerts.
Unlike Wireless AMBER Alerts, the WEA AMBER Alerts use the latest technology to send messages to wireless customers with the WEA-capable devices in the area where the child was abducted from, even if the wireless customer isn't from the area.
According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, the AMBER Alert Program, named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, and transportation agencies to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to air a description of the abducted child and suspected abductor. Statistics show that the first three hours after an abduction are the most critical in recovery efforts, and being able to quickly engage the public in the search for an abducted child can help law enforcement bring that child home safely.
The national Wireless AMBER Alerts Initiative was designed to distribute AMBER Alerts to wireless subscribers who opt in to receive the text messages on their wireless devices. Go to www.wirelessamberalerts.org to sign up.
Fairmont Police Department encourages you to sign up for the wireless AMBER alerts . Remember, the first three hours after a child's abduction are the most critical to recovery efforts, so your help is critical.

Yes, I have not finished the game prototype yet.
But I have not abandoned this game either! No really, it's just a matter of time, as always.
It's just so damn hard to focus right now! I have SO MUCH going on, and the way I am, I am also keeping myself happy with videogames and ultimate despite all the tasks I need to do. I am in the middle of finals right now with 5 exams in the next 2 weeks so that's that.
Then there is lots and lots of stuff to organize for Gaffenberg, the huge kids summer camp which is also a big part of me and therefore quite important deal every year.
So right now I am basically studying and organizing stuff, not programming a single bit (pun intended), but I will go back in to this work flow probably in September. For me learning and working on projects is like going with the flow, the waves of energy that go in different directions. For the beginnin of the year, I had waves going towards gamedeving, and for the time being they're crashing on Gaffenberg, Gaming and Music. And this is okay! That's the way I work and I have to deal with it. Once I am back into programming though, you can expect some stuff to look at, but for now I have to take care of the exams and prepare an awesome summer at my favourite place in the world with thousands of kids!

Editor: St. Augustine/St. Johns County is a fast-growing area which means more and more traffic. In these modern times of electronic marvels, why is it that they can't seem to synchronize the traffic lights to help improve the flow of everyday commuters?
There are places where one light turns green and the next turns red immediately. Not only does this jam up traffic but it also causes cars to be caught dangerously in the crossroad when the first light turns red again.
The two lights at SR. 16 and I-95 are prime examples of this.
There are many lights that are set on automatic instead of manual (set off by weights sensors on the road) which means waiting for the light to change with absolutely no traffic crossing or turning.
I travel around a lot and most towns seem to be able to synchronize their lights adding better flow and fewer accidents.

Magpie Games is proud to be a primary sponsor of The Indie Game Developer Network (IGDN), an exclusive, email-based online network where indie game developers discuss strategies, ideas, and techniques to develop incredible games. Guided by the Network Leader, the IGDN brings together a wide variety of developers–including pen and paper, card game, and board game designers–in a private and secure environment where each and every member strives for excellence.
The IGDN was created because the gaming community lacks places where developers can openly share ideas. There are a few website forums, but people on the internet have a tendency to behave like anonymous jerks. The IGDN provides a safe ground for new ideas and opportunities, a place where developers (both young and old) can propose new thoughts in a supportive environment to help each other achieve their goals, including business success.
In addition, too many developers in the gaming industry are reinventing the wheel with the release of each new product. No one person knows the best way to order books, print card, stock PDFs, or promote in the age of social media because the rules are constantly changing. It’s a new world with lots of opportunity, but we don’t know how to navigate it yet. The IGDN helps developers build a resource library that can move more products to market with less effort, building better games for more players!
In fact, one of the primary goals of the IGDN is to see more freelance developers gain the development skills and business prowess to strike out on their own, leaving their day jobs behind to focus on the hobby they love.
(If you’ve still got questions, check out our FAQ…)
Right now, the IGDN is seeking our first twenty charter members. Those charter members will receive a free, three-month subscription to the IGDN to help build the community and show what we can do when we work together. After the trial membership expires, continued membership will be just $10 per month, a small fraction of the thousands of dollars developers regularly spend on convention fees, travel, and books.
If you’re ready to help your fellow developers design the best games of the next decade, fill out the contact form below and we will get back to you with an application. We’re ready to plug you in to the Network!

Netflix takes the creator of the iconic drama Squid Game and its actor on a Behind-the-scenes set tour, and they are surprised by the uncanny resemblance. The reality series will stream on November 22
Squid Game Kdrama creator Hwang Dong-hyuk and actor Anupam Tripathi explore the set of the reality competition show Squid Game: The Challenge, and they are gasping with surprise. Netflix’s upcoming reality show is a spin-off of the iconic kdrama Squid Game, that became one of the most streamed shows of all time for the streaming giant. Although season 2 is still in the making, Netflix returned the Squid Game fever with its upcoming reality series, which is adapted from the hit drama.
Behind the scenes of Squid Game: The Challenge
The creators gave a glimpse of the intricately designed set through a small video clip that they shared on the social media platform, and one of the highlights is the immediate response of the special guests.
Taking to the official Instagram handle of the reality show, the team shared the clip and captioned the post, “Step onto the set of SQUID GAME: THE CHALLENGE with a behind-the-scenes tour featuring the creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk and special guest Anupam Tripathi!”
In the video, the creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk gets startled as he finds Anupam Tripathi, who portrayed the contestant 199, called Ali in the original series. Both of them visited the set, and the director also revealed that the reality show makers had contacted him to get key details about the original set, from beds and cloud paintings to the huge swing set – The uncanny resemblance is fascinating. Even the games were similar.
In a previously shared post, the reality series also hinted at the upcoming episodes and which game they will revolve around. Take a look here:
For the unversed, Squid Game: The Challenge is a reality series where 456 real contestants engage in a cutthroat competition for a cash prize of $4.56 million. The series will be streaming on Netflix on November 22.

Video advertising - This type of advertising in terms of digital/online means are advertisements that play on online videos e.g. YouTube videos. This type of marketing has seen an increase in popularity over time. Online Video Advertising usually consists of three types: Pre-Roll advertisements which play before the video is watched, Mid-Roll advertisements which play during the video, or Post-Roll advertisements which play after the video is watched. Post-roll advertisements were shown to have better brand recognition in relation to the other types, where-as "ad-context congruity/incongruity plays an important role in reinforcing ad memorability". Due to selective attention from viewers, there is the likelihood that the message may not be received. The main advantage of video advertising is that it disrupts the viewing experience of the video and therefore there is a difficulty in attempting to avoid them. How a consumer interacts with online video advertising can come down to three stages: Pre attention, attention, and behavioural decision. These online advertisements give the brand/business options and choices. These consist of length, position, adjacent video content which all directly affect the effectiveness of the produced advertisement time, therefore manipulating these variables will yield different results. Length of the advertisement has shown to affect memorability where-as longer duration resulted in increased brand recognition. This type of advertising, due to its nature of interruption of the viewer, it is likely that the consumer may feel as if their experience is being interrupted or invaded, creating negative perception of the brand. These advertisements are also available to be shared by the viewers, adding to the attractiveness of this platform. Sharing these videos can be equated to the online version of word by mouth marketing, extending number of people reached. Sharing videos creates six different outcomes: these being "pleasure, affection, inclusion, escape, relaxation, and control". As well, videos that have entertainment value are more likely to be shared, yet pleasure is the strongest motivator to pass videos on. Creating a ‘viral’ trend from mass amount of a brands advertisement can maximize the outcome of an online video advert whether it be positive or a negative outcome.

That is why multi-attribution is required to properly source sales or leads.

How do I Become an Editor?
There are many different types of editor in the world, from editors of film to editors of music to editors at large in magazines. When most people talk about becoming an editor, however, they are speaking of one of two types of editor: a copy editor or a book editor. Both are interesting jobs that bring a person in contact with writers regularly, and allow them to become an integral part of the publishing process. The path to become an editor is somewhat different for each, however, with book editors combining a number of roles into a single job.
A copy editor is a person who focuses on the copy — any sort of written material intended for publication, be it a book, a magazine article, or a short article for an online website. Copy editors are focused primarily on the nuts and bolts of a piece of writing, with the actual content being left to a so-called substantive editor or an editor-in-chief. The copy editor’s job is to make sure the style of the copy is suitable for the publication, that it remains consistent throughout, that there are no grammatical, typographical, or punctuation errors in the text, and that the facts given are accurate.
Many people go to a university to pursue a degree in English in order to become an editor, and many employers are looking for just such a degree. A broad knowledge base is also very useful to a copy editor, and so reading widely and studying an array of subjects can help someone interested in this job, allowing them to be able to easily recognize factual defects in a text. While at school, working for student publications can offer a first glimpse into the work of a copy editor, as well as giving an important byline for later job résumés. Editors also need certain concrete skills, and copy editing classes can give these, including techniques on reading copy for error-checking rather than content and the set of notation used in copy editing.
After school, a prospective editor needs to decide whether he or she wants to work in-house at a publishing company or as a freelancer for a number of different publications. As a freelancer, editors have a number of opportunities to work on small jobs for lower wages while building up a byline. Pursuing a job at a larger publishing house is a bit more difficult, however, and is often best accomplished by first becoming an editorial assistant at the publication you’re interested in working for, getting to know the staff, and having a chance to prove your work ethic before applying for a vacancy as a copy editor.
Many people, when they talk about wanting to become an editor, are referring to becoming a book editor. This is a position that tends to be found at smaller publishing houses, and it rolls a number of different editorial roles into one. Book editors not only do copy editing, but also handle production editing and substantive editing, helping to guide and shape the entire feel of a project, not just the technical execution of it. People who want to be this type of editor often first start as a copy editor and then work their way up the ladder, acquiring a wider range of skills and becoming familiar with the ins and outs of the book or magazine trade, eventually taking on the larger role.
I think it would be really fun to be an acquisitions editor. I love the idea of finding new talented writers and publishing their books.
It must be a rewarding and satisfying job because you are giving someone the chance to be published for the first time which has to be thrilling.
I know that acquisitions editors sometimes offer classes on how to get published and develop a winning manuscript. An acquisitions editor named Eddie Jones has a site called Writer’s Coach which offers classes on how to develop a manuscript and book proposal that will sell.
He also offers a free fifteen minute consultation online in order to provide you feedback on your writing skills and your market potential.
Comfyshoes - I think that the writer suggested that you have to have an English degree. I know that UMUC, the University of Maryland University College offers an online program for a BA in English as well as a BA in Communications.
This way if you are working you can continue your education. They are accredited and also have an onsite campus in Maryland if you live in the area.
Getting a degree will help you get valuable internships because getting a job as a publishing editor is not easy.
You will also want to look at joining professional organizations like the American Copywriters Society and the Editorial Freelancers Association. Both of these organizations provide networking opportunities and educational seminars on not only improving the quality of your writing, but also help gain marketable skills in order to obtain more working opportunities.
Editors can work in all kinds of fields. For example, many mystery shopping companies hire editors to review written reports from shoppers. Any experience will help as this is a very competitive field because a lot of people want to enter this line of work.
How do you become an editor? I really want to know how to become an editor for a publishing company?

Nonlinear Mathematics of Behavior
Before mating, most animals engage in extensive courtship activities, the reason why is still subject to speculation. An obvious suggestion is that information about the genetic suitability of a prospective mate is exchanged. In natural languages, nontrivial grammars provide the mechanisms for expressing detailed relationships between fundamental symbols and introducing redundancy, by which the receiver can check the validity of the arriving information. The proposed role would thus hint at a variable courtship language with nontrivial grammatical rules as the central element.
In this project, we investigate courtship under this angle, where the emphasis is on courtship graphs and a comparison to the expression power of modern spoken languages.


Immigration and Civil Religion
Debate casts light on Americans’ deepest-held values and conception of national meaning
By Bruce T. Murray
Author, Religious Liberty in America: The First Amendment in Historical and Contemporary Perspective
The ongoing immigration debate raises core questions about what it means to be American – and who is not American. The issue is often cast in ugly terms: On one side, some argue that the nation’s current crop of immigrants – mostly from Mexico, Latin America and Asia – are too numerous and too “different” to assimilate into American culture. On the other side, many argue that the immigrants of today are no different from the immigrants of the turn of the last century, who eventually assimilated into mainstream American society.
The debate has cast light on an obscure but pervasive phenomenon in America known as civil religion – a belief system that binds the nation’s deepest-held values with transcendent meaning. The term civil religion is not widely used, but the language of civil religion is familiar to most Americans. For example, during the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama frequently invoked civil religion. In his first debate with Sen. John McCain, Obama pledged to “restore that sense that America is that shining beacon on a hill.” Obama’s imagery might strike a familiar chord with those who remember Ronald Reagan’s speeches and radio addresses. Reagan often spoke of “a shining city on a hill”; and indeed, in many ways Reagan defined his presidency on this single image. (See more on civil religion here.)
The promise of the “shining city on a hill” has beckoned generations of immigrants to America’s shores in search of both spiritual renewal and earthly fortune. But who is chosen for admission – and who is not – prompts starkly different interpretations of America’s national purpose and responsibility. Civil religion is an underlying component in the debate: Many Americans feel their national creed (a term sometimes used in place of civil religion) is threatened, disrespected or diluted by the newcomers. Proponents of immigration point out that past generations of immigrants have thoroughly assimilated and adopted American values – and indeed have become their greatest proponents.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, himself an immigrant from Austria, noted the importance of values – the constituent elements of civil religion – in American civic life.
“Immigration is about our values. Above all, we owe it to our country and our immigrants to share our values. We should talk about our history, our institutions and our beliefs,” Schwarzenegger wrote in a column for the Los Angeles Times. “As a river gains strength and momentum from joining waters, so America is blessed and enriched by new people and new energy. But we still need a new immigration law to properly channel the flow.”
The connection between civil religion and immigration is further explored in the University of Massachusetts Press book, Religious Liberty in America: The First Amendment in Historical and Contemporary Perspective by Bruce T. Murray.
“This book includes an especially engaging and in-depth chapter on American civil religion. This chapter relies upon the scholarly work of Robert Bellah, among others, even as it traces American civil religion from John Winthrop’s (and Ronald Reagan’s) ‘city upon a hill’ to contemporary disputes over immigration, the ‘culture wars,’ and the religious rhetoric of Bush and other political leaders.”
— Daniel O. Conkle, Professor of Law and Adjunct Professor of Religious Studies, Indiana University (from the July, 2009 issue of the Catholic Historical Review)
Religious Liberty in America is available at numerous university libraries and the University of Massachusetts Press.
Book review critical of Murray's treatment of civil religion and immigration:
“In an otherwise provocative discussion of civil religion, Murray somewhat confusingly uses recent Latino immigration activism to illustrate tensions over faith and belonging. Ultimately, Murray frames this debate between two polar opposites, whether Latino immigration ‘threatens the United States' cultural and political integrity’ (quoting Samuel Huntington) or whether Latinos have ‘appropriated American values and civil religion in the spirit of Martin Luther King’ (quoting Luis D. León) (p. 63). One wonders if the question is such an either/or proposition.”
— David A. Reichard, California State University Monterey Bay, The History Teacher, February 2009

Americanization in the 21st century
Zócalo panel takes on immigration policy and philosophy. Panelists include USC demographer Dowell Myers, Alfonso Aguilar of the U.S. Office of Citizenship, and José Luis Gutiérrez of the Illinois Office of New Americans.
Immigration policy, politics and economics
Judy Gans, Director of the University of Arizona’s Immigration Program, notes that although the numbers of immigrants today is higher than ever in U.S. history, the immigrant population as a percentage of the overall U.S. population is actually lower now than it was at the turn of the last century. “I think we’ve been here as a country before ... There is more concern about immigrant incorporation than there needs to be,” Gans said.
Dealing with the trade-offs of immigration policy
Dowell Myers, a demographer at USC, said that as the baby boom generation retires, the younger generation of immigrant workers will be necessary to fund their retirement. “Immigrants and their children have a role to play. We need to invest in them big time,” Myers said.

Throughout its history, America has faced many challenges. One was the devastating collapse of the national economy during the Great Depression years of the 1930s when faced with financial ruin, banks closed and industry ceased.
During the years that followed, the elderly lost their life savings, farmers their land and thousands of unemployed men roamed the country, looking for non-existent jobs. It was for these that the Civilian Conservation Corps was formed in 1933 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal" policy for recovery for the economy. It was not a military organization, although it was run on military lines, its officers being mostly ex-Army men.
The volunteer enlistees had to be single young men aged 17 to 23 years old with no criminal record. They received training in the manual trades such as carpentry, bricklaying, and dams and bridge building. They lived in army-type camps which they often built themselves.
Their pay was $30 a month, most of which they sent home to help their struggling family. They were provided with food, clothing and medical care. If by chance they found a better paying job, they were free to leave the Corps, given an honorable discharge and transport back home. The young men worked on bridges and dams construction and on re-forestation all over the country. They also worked on overhead electric lines and repaired railroad tracks. With the arrival of World War II (which turned the country's economy around), the Corps was discontinued in 1942.
It was later estimated that 3,000,000 men had served in the Corps. Used to hard work and discipline, they later made good military men.
This writer recently spoke with a 95-year-old gentleman who had served in the Corps, working on bridge building in Tennessee. He was one of the few corpsmen to own a car. It was a battered 1925 Model T Ford sedan. Not allowed to keep it in camp, he kept it parked at a nearby farm. Every Saturday he picked it up, crammed four of his pals into it and drove to the nearby town to see the Saturday night movies. He charged his riders 25 cents each. It paid for the gas.
