However, with so many options out there, it can get overwhelming, even when you’ve sorted out your preferences. 3) Choose a good murder mystery gameĬhoosing a good murder mystery game is as important as planning it. Having three extra guests out of the blue is manageable and different from having 20 more or fewer guests than what you initially planned for. Still, none of these situations is the same as having no idea about the number of guests you can anticipate. That said, be prepared that some people might cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, or some may show up last minute although they weren’t planning on coming. Another reason is the invitations you need to have a particular number in mind to know how many to print out, that is, if you decide to hand out physical invites. The reason is simple, different murder mystery games require a different number of players, so knowing the exact number of employees who are interested in participating will partly determine which game you’ll end up choosing. 2) Create a guest listĬreating a guest list is the next crucial step that should be done before even choosing the specific game you’ll be playing. If you host an in-person event, you’ll probably need some help, so delegate the tasks that aren’t your forte so you can finish everything on time. We suggest that you write everything down and make a detailed plan about how much time you need to plan the party and set everything up, and don’t forget to prioritize your tasks. This involves choosing an adequate venue (based on the number of players), preparing the invitations (physical or virtual), setting the time and date, and so on. 1) Plan your partyįirst things first, you need to give yourself some time to plan everything, ideally a week or two. Here are the basics to hosting your first murder mystery party so it’s a guaranteed hit with your employees. However, apart from sorting out your preferences, you also need to consider the efforts that come with planning and hosting your murder mystery party. When it comes to which type of murder mystery game you should pick, it all comes down to preferences. Murder mysteries may include other details, such as themes, costumes, or special tech equipment, depending on how you approach playing the game. In such games, there could also be some subplots apart from the main one (which is, you’ve guessed it, solving a murder), such as finding important clues, revealing confidential information, and so on. In improvised murder mystery games, on the other hand, the participants receive background information about their character and the overall game, as well as some tips and insights, however, the players have greater freedom in how they approach playing the game. If it’s the latter, the players follow an already written script and they simply play along until determining who among them is the criminal. ![]() Murder mysteries can be either improvised or scripted. This is why it’s very important for players to be open to different scenarios, instructions, and ways in which a specific murder mystery game may be played. There are a plethora of murder mysteries out there, and although they share many common characteristics, each one comes with its own unique story, requirements, and guidelines. Murder mystery games can be played both virtually and in person. They’re required to identify suspects, find clues, collaborate with the rest of the players, and do other activities until the mystery is solved. Murder mysteries are games in which participants (players) are asked to solve a murder mystery in an allotted timeframe. ![]() Murder Mystery Games You and Your Team Can Play Murder mysteries may be somewhat challenging to organize, but with the right steps and the right attitude, you’ll host an event everyone in the office will be proud of.īut before we provide you with all the details, let’s cover some murder mystery basics first. So, if you’re looking to bring fresh dynamics to the office and allow your workers to test their skills, we’ll go over everything you need to know to host these events. This collaborative aspect makes murder mysteries a great team-building tool. And this shouldn’t come as a surprise - after all, murder mysteries are fun to organize and exciting to engage in, the best feeling of all being when the mystery is finally solved thanks to every player’s input. Few activities get employees excited the way a good murder mystery party can. ![]()

Soft toys for comfort and connection (transitional object) during times of separation from their parent for babies over seven months of ageīetween eight and nine months of age babies begin to become aware of the separation between themselves and the parent figure. Parents and other carers are advised to keep soft toys out of the sleeping environment for babies under seven months of age as they may cover the nose and mouth and interfere with breathing. Toys can colonise infection when used for babies in Neonatal Intensive Care Units or Special Care Baby Units 9. Toys which are hung across the cot should be removed once the child can push on hands and knees or is 5 months of age whichever comes earliest 8. Small toys, toy parts and toys on strings are a major cause of asphyxial fatalities caused by accidental suffocation and strangulation in babies and choking episodes in young children 7. There have been cases of asphyxia in cots cluttered with soft toys and where an infant has slipped out of the sleeping environment onto toys and clothes placed near to the cot 6. Soft toys can act in a similar way as a pillow 5. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recorded the death of a 4-month-old associated with prone sleeping position involving the closure of the child’s airway by a stuffed toy. The prone position significantly increases the risk of sudden and unexpected infant death, including SIDS. Pillow-like objects have the potential for asphyxiation and have been used as a prop to keep babies on the side, and infants have subsequently rolled onto their stomachs 4. The American Academy of Pediatrics 3 recommends that soft surfaces and gas trapping objects, such as soft toys and lamb skins, be avoided in an infant’s sleeping environment. Current research supports infant safety guidelines to ensure that quilts, doonas, duvets, pillows, lambskins, soft toys and cot bumpers are not in the infant sleeping environment. Physiological studies indicate that facial obstruction by soft bedding may lead to complete airway obstruction, and/or hyperthermia, 1 and/or accidental suffocation by rebreathing 2. Soft objects in the cot can be a suffocation risk. Soft toys should never be placed in the sleeping environment of an infant under seven months of age.

The object signifies that the infant has moved from a sense of his/herself merged with mother, to being a separate individual. Transitional objects, such as soft toys are created by the baby to ‘build an illusion’ to represent mother and all that mother represents. Some babies over seven months of age may appreciate a small object such as a soft toy to provide comfort and connection (transitional object 1) during times of separation from their parent.ġ.

In addition to the gift card service, StockPile also offers a more traditional brokerage account if you wish to simply trade for yourself. It also includes a small revenue for the company. The extra $7.95 helps to cover the cost of credit card processing fees and commissions so that the gift recipient doesn’t have to pay anything when buying shares. For example, a $100 gift card would cost the buyer $107.95. StockPile makes its money by charging a fee on top of the value of the gift card. That fractional share would change in value just like any other share of stock and would earn any corresponding fractional dividend that the company may pay its shareholders. An individual that chooses to invest $50 into a stock with a $500 share price would end up owning 0.1 shares of the company. The company is able to offer this feature by buying shares in the marketplace and slicing them up into fractional shares within their own platform.

Just like how a desktop PC from eight years ago can still handle basic productivity tasks in 2020, a flagship smartphone from two or three years ago isn't radically different from what you can buy today, and there’s only so much room for innovation in the flat glass slab form factor. It sounds like we'll be waiting a while for Microsoft's next Android phone, with Bowden saying the foldable has "no concrete shipping window for the device in place yet either, meaning it's unlikely to be ready in time for this fall.Over the past few years, smartphones have stopped evolving at a rapid pace and settled into iterative, yawn-inducing update cycles. The report says Microsoft has prototyped several ideas for a "mainstream" slab-style Surface phone that might someday ship. Despite the failure of the Surface Duo, Bowden says that Microsoft is "all-in" with Android and "eager to expand its line of Android smartphone offerings" beyond the new foldable device. The report describes Microsoft as wanting to make its Android phone work better with Windows via an internal program called “Perfect Together” that is building Apple-style integrations between phone and laptops/desktops. Microsoft has since bought the team it was outsourcing its Android builds to, but so far, Surface Duo customers have seen a worst-in-class Android update record. Microsoft's Android software division has also been a hot mess, with the company outsourcing the Surface Duo 1 OS until two months before release and shipping a disastrously buggy build of Android as a result. The $1,400-$1,500 price tags were not competitive for what were basically two smartphones glued together, so you've got to wonder what is up with Microsoft's supply chain. The Surface Duos always felt like beta foldable devices, and that compromise might have worked if they weren't the full price of a real foldable phone. ![]() Advertisementįurther Reading Surface Duo review-Orphaned Windows hardware makes a poor Android deviceBesides the Android-incompatible form factor, Microsoft's Android phones have had a host of other problems that the company will need to fix. The report says the canceled Surface Duo 3 would have had "narrower and taller edge-to-edge displays," which would have put the phone in a more reasonable form factor. Plus, even when folded up, being dramatically wider than any other smartphone on the market also made it a literal pain to try to hold with one hand.Īfter two near-identical versions, Microsoft seemed to have been coming around to the "way too wide" line of thinking. It seems like Microsoft wanted to land on the same basic outline as a Moleskine notebook, but Android apps just aren't designed for that aspect ratio. When that OS was canceled, the project was salvaged as an Android phone, but those short, fat displays led to a lot of bad Android app layouts, with the limited vertical screen space further reduced by Android's big headers and tab bars. ![]() ![]() The original Surface Duo was planned to run the canceled "Windows 10x" OS, which would have taken advantage of the unique screen aspect ratio. Instead of the tall, skinny displays that Android phones typically use, both Surface Duos used short, fat displays, making the Duo line the widest smartphones on the market. The Surface Duo line made for two of the most awkward Android devices on the market. The report says Microsoft is now working on a "more traditional foldable design, with a 180-degree hinge, internal foldable screen and external cover display"-so in the same vein as a Galaxy Fold. There might someday be a Microsoft device branded "Surface Duo 3," but the Surface Duo form factor-a dual-screen device with a 360-degree hinge-is dead. Windows Central's Zac Bowden is the go-to reporter for any Microsoft Surface rumors, and his latest report is that Surface Duo 3 is dead, or at least, a device in the same mold as the Surface Duo 1 and 2 has been canceled. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the clip above - from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back the titular characters get a little NSFW in front of a bunch of kids at Mooby's.

Honker Burger is the fast food hangout on the 90s cartoon Doug, and was based on In-N-Out burger.

First, pick a tea, as it will be a central part of the meal - dim sum did originate in tea houses after all. But by and large, the culinary form remains the same as ever. Nowadays, dim sum can include dishes and traditions adopted from other parts of China. As they continued to travel, the practice continued to spread and gained popularity throughout the region, especially in Hong Kong. Silk Road travelers and traders would take breaks in tea houses for a dim sum meal. According to food magazine Lucky Peach, Cantonese dim sum culture began in tearooms in the latter half of the 19th century in the port city of Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong, after opium dens were banned throughout the country.
