Our team got together as news makers and young adults to pitch a reality wholesome Tv series.
We had a “think tank”
to discuss what the communities really need to address the mental health issues surrounding our youth today.
It is our youth who are responsible to build a better tomorrow.
For three years now Christine has taught us how to write and produce news articles about conscious leadership, special interests, investigative reports and community advocacy. Barbara Walters was Christine’s mentor growing up and taught her all the lessons on living, learning and building positive communities by doing purpose driven work.
We hope you all join us on our journey to better the lives of all of us. “As we are stronger as a team than we are alone!”

I am so proud of Angela expressing her beautiful work in her poetry. As an autism specialist I thought I would share my perspective on this piece. Please feel free to join in on this community and share your thoughts.
Here are mine :
Angelica Tao’s piece titled “Hidden,” though not directly shared, seems to address a poignant and deeply personal aspect of the autism experience: the phenomenon of “masking.” This term describes how some autistic individuals might feel compelled to suppress or hide their natural behaviors, feelings, or characteristics to conform to societal expectations or to avoid judgment and stigma. Through the lens of an autistic young adult, let’s explore the psychological impacts and implications of this theme as they might interpret and resonate with the piece:
Identity and Self-Perception
An autistic young adult may have a complex relationship with their identity, constantly navigating the terrain between their authentic self and the persona they adopt in public. They might relate deeply to the feeling of being “hidden,” as it echoes their daily experiences of having to mask their true thoughts, reactions, and behaviors. This ongoing negotiation can lead to feelings of isolation and confusion about one’s true self, as well as an intense longing for acceptance and understanding.
Emotional and Psychological Consequences
Masking can be mentally and emotionally exhausting, requiring constant vigilance and energy to monitor and adjust one’s behavior. An individual resonating with “Hidden” might experience a profound sense of fatigue and anxiety, stemming from the fear of being “discovered” or rejected for their natural tendencies. Moreover, this continuous suppression can lead to a deep sense of loneliness and misunderstanding, as the individual may feel that no one truly knows or accepts them for who they are.
The Desire for Connection
Despite the challenges, an underlying theme likely present in “Hidden” is the inherent human desire for connection and belonging. Autistic individuals, like anyone else, yearn for authentic relationships where they can be themselves without judgment. This piece might touch on the frustration and pain of feeling disconnected from others due to societal barriers and misconceptions about autism, coupled with a hopeful longing for environments where differences are celebrated rather than suppressed.
Advocacy and Empowerment
From a psychological standpoint, a piece like “Hidden” has the power to advocate for awareness and change by shedding light on the internal struggles faced by many autistic individuals. It can inspire empathy and understanding, encouraging society to reevaluate its norms and expectations to become more inclusive and accepting of neurodiversity. Furthermore, for autistic individuals themselves, relating to such a piece can be empowering, validating their feelings and experiences, and potentially motivating them to advocate for their rights and for broader societal acceptance.
Conclusion
“Hidden” is likely to strike a chord with autistic young adults on many levels, resonating with their experiences of masking, the emotional toll of feeling misunderstood, and their deeply-felt need for connection and acceptance. Through the prism of their unique perspective, this piece not only reflects their struggles but also highlights the broader need for a societal shift towards greater understanding, inclusion, and celebration of neurodiversity.
This is a special episode of Family Guy when it’s about Brian and Stewie’s friendship and rivalry with all of the dialogue and the conflict of the storyline and brings in forgiveness at the very end. The story is about Fast and Furious and friendship.
It started when Stewie wanted to watch the whole Fast and Furious Series with Rupert his stuff teddy bear. Brain came in with a vape pen to get high but Stewie told him that it’s a 14 meditation on the importance about family, fast cars product placement, racial ambiguity and family. Stewie thought Brian got him Fast and Furious 8 for his birthday which got him a Michael Kore pebbled leather tote bag instead. Stewie wanted to every edition from best to worst. Then they both watch The Fast and Furious Marathon, which Brian leaves for a bar after becoming irritated with Stewie’s constant banter with Rupert. Stewie had decided to go to bed because he got tired and asked his teddy bear Rupert to finish the count. The two had a conflict but quickly managed to hold each other’s values. After going to bed, Stewie wakes up to see that a drunken Brian has severed his friendship with Rupert and chewed him out. While Stewie learned that Brian killed his teddy bear, he got furious and slapped him to call him a murder. Brian realize that he ate Ruppert the he apologize his actions because he was drunk and thought he was a chew toy. Stewie furiously stated that Brian would’ve gone to jail if he would’ve drive drunk with his own car and still run over Rupert. Then Stewie point a gun at him which he was on the verge on killing him, but he was speechless that Brian compared Rupert over a tennis ball. He noticed that Brian never gets along with Rupert because he’s a psycho. He asked Brian to stop trying which escalate their friendship, he had no choice but to unfollow all of his social media accounts. He stated that we are not friends anymore and asked Dikembe Mutombo to take Brian down and then walked away. Brian later went to the kitchen to see if Stewie was there while Chris was operating an quinceañera dress business. While he got on a chair the dress fits Brian and told Chris that he did something drastic. Chris told him that he killed Rupert while he chuckled a bit he told Stewie before that and stated to him that it’s a stuff animal. Chris told Brian that “he cremated that stuffed animal, and he’s going to Vermont to scatter the ashes.” Brian was surprised that he would have to find him. Chris wanted to ask Brian to see if he feels bonita but told him that he felt bonita with his dissatisfaction.
Brian eventually was able to find Stewie at the Bus Station to tell him that he can’t go to the mountain on his own, so Stewie agreed to ask Rupert of the idea if one of them died first once they reached to the mountain.. Brian goes along to watch over Stewie when he learns that he is going to Vermont to disperse Rupert’s ashes from the top of Mount Mansfield in Smugglers’ Notch State Park. They both walk through the woods and reached halfway yo the mountain, Stewie was annoyed when he can Brian following him but Brian to make sure he doesn’t walk alone. When their argument turns physical due to Stewie’s mounting annoyance, Brian confesses that his destruction of Rupert wasn’t an accident. Stewie becomes enraged at this, but their altercation culminates in him tumbling down a cliff and severely injuring his ankle, rendering him unable to move. In order to get Stewie to stop talking to Rupert, Brian makes a litter with sticks and tree branches to carry him to the summit of the mountain where they share their sentiments. While they reached to the snowy party of the mountain Stewie stated that he spends so much time with Rupert most of his time since he was born, there argument was hold when another hiker was going down the hill. Stewie resumed his argument that Rupert was the important thing of his life and told Brian he will willfully violated the sanctity and trust of their friendship. Brian didn’t understand that Stewie seems more mature and the smartest person in the family household. He is also incredibly noble perceptive and wiser than people 40 times his age. He was questioned that why Rupert the one baby thing he’s hanging to which couldn’t understand that Rupert is a teddy bear and Brian is a living thing. Meanwhile, Stewie worries that Brian will soon pass away due to his elderly age. While Stewie stated that why Brian was jealous which Brian found out he made a good point but furious Stewie called him every word that’s sound like a trader until another hiker went down the hill and Stewie stated “Nice shorts”.
When the reached to the summit of the mountain of a point on a surface that is higher in elevation than all points immediately adjacent to it. Both of them thought the view was beautiful but Brian was confused about the ashes which Stewie called him a savage while he has no knowledge about the ceremony to honor Rupert. Then Stewie give a honorable speech for Rupert but too upset to finish the eulogy and let Brian take care of the truth and him the rest of the speech of the importance of Rupert. Brian also stated that they are both incredibly grateful for all the time they had for Rupert from the good and bad times. Afterwards they each scatter his ashes, while Stewie thanked Brian for his beautiful speech. Stewie decided to sing “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” by Boyz II Men, while Brian sang the next verse and they both harmonize the ending of the song. Then Stewie asked Brian to pour it out, he told him he brought a gatorade bottle full of pee and Stewie told him to pour it out for Rupert. The two were able to reunite as Stewie hugged Brian to return the favor of their friendship. As the song began until the very end of episode, Brian resume to journey down the mountain while Stewie quoted “You’re with Paul now, Rupert!” Just to let Rupert know that he is with Paul Walker from the Fast and Furious Movie. Brian makes a visit at a rental vehicle sales before heading home. When Brian picks up a rental car for the ride home, he stops at a vintage toy store while Stewie is sleeping. That night, Brian sneaks in with a new Rupert for Stewie, who is delighted to see his old pal again. Brian was about to close the door but smiled when he heard that Stewie was excited to see Rupert again. The episode ended with Paul Walker and Rupert up in the night sky to race each other just to tribute Paul Walker. While Paul Walker took the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray C2 and Rupert took Paul Walker’s 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII and raced into the end of the screen and ended it with the star flash with a wink.
The lesson is when the importance of friendship is caring for others while going through hard times and trying to find a way to help their own mistakes by forgiving them. Brian and Stewie’s friendship will last a lifetime throughout the series while had some fights and disagreements to get into each others nerves but at the end they forgive each other while some episodes goes about jealously while mostly they’ll never stop going on adventurous journeys throughout the series. There chemistry of friendship will live on while Brian is the inly person who can understand Stewie’s feelings while solving the issue and fix the statement so they can agree the idea of their friendship.

The future of Science
Science had many reasons to find hope for curing hearing loss but there’s currently no evidence to fix the situation but there are other ways to manage your tinnitus and hearing loss.
The reasons most people
When you enjoy going to events that are loud young people unfortunately don’t realise the danger of tinnitus or hearing loss which could be that they spent most of their time watching loud videos on YouTube or going to concerts or nightclubs without wearing earplugs.
Loud music
Many of these become exceedingly complex at low volumes that it is simply not possible to appreciate them. Put simply, it’s easier to notice the subtleties while loud music is playing. The music usually sounds better when one can hear more details and distinguish between distinct sounds. The night is just getting started on this Friday at 9 p.m. You’re all set to have fun dancing with your pals. As soon as you enter the nightclub of your choice—with your wristband and hand stamped, naturally—you’ll see that colored lights are flashing in time with the music. The dance floor is being heated by the dancers. Your chest is filled with bass. Move to the music’s invitation. Ever wonder why going to a rowdy club or rock concert is extremely fun? Have you ever questioned why you enjoy loud music? Fortunately, the solutions are right here. Now let’s get started. It is well known that listening to loud music can lead to many issues such as tinnitus, impairment of hearing, and even loss of hearing. However, we still find ourselves belting out songs while stuck in traffic, making our way to a bar, or becoming giddy at live performances. What makes us do it, then? What is it about loud music that gives us such a sense of aliveness? The inner ear contains the sacculus (pronounced sack-you-less). It is unique in that it is directly connected to the brain’s pleasure regions. Loud music stimulates the release of endorphins, so loud music listening is effectively self-medication. Doctors had research indicates that the sacculus prefers low frequencies (bass, basically) above 90 dB. Ironically, there was a time when it was thought the sacculus served no functional purpose. They had no idea that it was the source of our happiness when we listen to music! Another myth is that loud music—which is often heard at 120–140 decibels—does not harm listening ears unless it is painful. However, hearing loss can occur at low decibel levels, even as low as 85, particularly if this amplitude is continuously exposed to. A typical lawnmower is 100 dB, while clubs typically play music that is louder than 115 decibels. After eight hours of listening at this intensity, people may sustain serious harm. Even if you’re not standing close to the speaker, this could still be ringing in your ears. Not only that, but if you’re not careful, the ringing can last a lifetime. Regularly listening to loud music might cause hearing damage. Playing loud music through your headphones could still be dangerous, even if you don’t attend concerts regularly. But we understand. Giving up loud music listening can be challenging. It makes sense, too, since a study indicated that loud music-related addictive behaviors were more frequently observed among non-professional rock and pop band members than in control people.
Social
At Social Events, There are many decisions to make while going to a party or other social gathering, such as what to wear, what to bring, who to go with, and when to arrive. In addition, you might want to think about whether you can follow the conversation if you have hearing loss. In the best of situations, it can be difficult for someone with hearing loss to listen to and comprehend people in a crowd. The noise of dishes clattering around and the music bouncing off the walls can make listening a taxing endeavor. Parties, however, can also be a lot of fun. They offer an opportunity to let go, catch up with old friends and make new ones, dance, and enjoy life. Don’t let your hearing loss stop you from going to social gatherings if you enjoy good food, drink, and company. Just empower yourself with these strategies for improving hearing and reducing anxiety in loud settings. You can have a conversation in the garden or a couch with a place that is noise free to have a quick conversation or needed a break from the party. Sadly, not all of them can be outside events. The majority of social events take place indoors, and as the night goes on, the noise level increases. If you have social occasions that require a lot of listening on your part, try to arrive early and leave before you become too exhausted. Large dinners in clattery, expansive restaurants, parties with live music, and get-togethers at boisterous bars may provide greater issues in terms of competing background noise. Take it slow and give yourself “listening breaks.” Pace yourself when it comes to how much you drink and how much you chat if you’re going to be at a party for a few hours. If you drink too much alcohol too soon, it will wear you out and make it harder for you to understand other people. In a similar vein, you will quickly become exhausted attempting to keep up with talks in an area with loud noises. Make sure you occasionally give yourself short listening breaks, withdraw to a quieter place for a one-on-one talk, or just some alone time, to maintain your energy and lower stress levels.
Science around the globe
The research team focused on a specific type of drug that activates a protein called Notch, which plays a key role in the development of hair cells in the inner ear. They found that by administering this drug to adult mice with noise-induced hearing loss, they were able to stimulate nearby cells to differentiate into new hair cells, leading to a significant improvement in hearing.
This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize the field of hearing loss treatment, as current approaches mainly focus on amplification devices or cochlear implants, which can only partially restore hearing. By targeting the regeneration of hair cells, researchers may be able to fully restore hearing function in individuals with noise-induced or age-related hearing loss.
While further research is needed to refine this approach and develop effective therapies for human use, this study represents a major step forward in the quest to reverse deafness and improve the quality of life for individuals with hearing loss. The researchers are hopeful that their findings will ultimately lead to the development of new treatments that can restore hearing in patients with irreversible hearing damage.
In this study, researchers were able to successfully regenerate hair cells in the cochlea of mice by using a combination of small molecules to stimulate supporting cells in the cochlea to become new hair cells. The regrown hair cells were able to function properly and improve hearing in the mice.
This research provides hope for the development of new treatments for hearing loss in humans. The ability to regenerate hair cells in the cochlea could potentially lead to a cure for sensorineural hearing loss, which currently has no known cure. Further studies will be needed to refine this technique and determine its safety and effectiveness in humans, but the results of this study are a promising step forward in the field of hearing restoration.
Overall, the ability to regenerate hair cells in the cochlea and improve hearing in mice offers hope for the development of new treatments for hearing loss in humans. This research has the potential to make a significant impact on the lives of millions of individuals affected by hearing loss worldwide.
The researchers believe that this discovery could have significant implications for the treatment of hearing loss in humans. By targeting the Notch signaling pathway with the drug, they were able to stimulate the regeneration of hair cells in the cochlea of deaf mice. This suggests that a similar approach could potentially be used to restore hearing in humans who have lost their hair cells due to age, noise exposure, or other causes.
Further research will be needed to determine whether this drug or a similar compound could be safely and effectively used in humans. However, these initial findings are promising and offer hope for the development of new treatments for hearing loss. The researchers plan to continue studying the mechanisms involved in hair cell regeneration and to explore potential therapeutic applications for this discovery.
Overall, this study represents a major advancement in the field of regenerative medicine and could ultimately lead to new treatment options for individuals with hearing loss. The researchers are optimistic about the potential of hair cell regeneration as a future therapy for deafness, and their work provides a solid foundation for further research in this area.
Doctors of the Future
The findings, published in the journal Cell Reports, offer promise for developing potential treatments for hearing loss in humans. Hair cells in the inner ear are crucial for translating sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret, so regenerating them could potentially restore hearing function in individuals with hearing loss.
The cocktail of molecules used in the study activated a series of genetic pathways that led to the conversion of supporting cells in the inner ear into fully functional hair cells. This approach could potentially be used to reverse the damage caused by aging, noise exposure, or genetic factors that can lead to hearing loss.
While more research is needed to further refine and test this approach, the researchers are hopeful that their findings could one day lead to new treatment options for individuals with hearing loss. This study represents an important step towards developing regenerative therapies for hearing loss and improving quality of life for millions of people around the world. Dr. Zheng-Yi Chen, was the worlds best scientist who discovered to cure tinnitus but even though there’s no actual cure which the molecular mechanisms that regulate the development and regeneration of hair cells, Dr. Chen aims to identify potential drug targets and gene therapy strategies for treating hearing loss.
In addition to studying hair cell regeneration, Dr. Chen’s research also focuses on age-related and noise-induced hearing loss. He investigates how aging and exposure to loud noises can lead to damage and degeneration of the inner ear, and aims to develop novel therapeutics to prevent or reverse these processes.
Furthermore, Dr. Chen is interested in gene therapy for hereditary deafness, which is caused by mutations in specific genes that are critical for normal hearing. He is working towards developing gene therapy approaches to correct these mutations and restore hearing function in individuals affected by hereditary deafness.
Overall, Dr. Chen’s research is at the forefront of advancing our understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of hearing loss, and holds great promise for the development of new treatments and therapies for individuals with hearing impairments.
Additionally, they are working to optimize the efficiency and safety of the gene therapy approach for treating hearing loss. With continued progress in this field, there is hope that gene therapy could become a viable option for patients suffering from various forms of hearing loss in the near future. This represents a significant advancement in the field of medicine and offers hope for those who have previously had limited treatment options for their condition.
Most Speciality Doctors are so Optimistic about the future of regenerating hair cells for people that are young who enjoyed loud music and old people that wanted clearer hearing or people with disabilities that have hearing problems throughout their lifetime. The results will hopefully allow it to the public somewhere around the late 2020s to early 2030s.
Around 600 BC, a poet in ancient Greece wrote about heated pancakes in one of his works, which is the earliest known mention of pancakes. The pancake breakfast is created in 1100 AD on Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, when it becomes customary to use up dairy items before Lent.
The renowned pancake race was initiated by the villagers of Olney, Buckinghamshire, UK, in 1445. The church bell ringer gives the winner a kiss every year. The ammonia-containing new snow was employed by cooks in the 1700s to create pancakes light and fluffy in place of baking soda. Throughout the 1800s, brandy and wine were equally as popular as milk and occasionally cream when it came to making pancake batter. America is irrevocably altered in the 1870s when the flapjack is dubbed the pancake. In the 1880s: Maple syrup starts to gain popularity as a topping.
Why are pancakes an essential morning meal for the majority of Americans? Serving pancakes for dinner was customary throughout the American Revolution. These early afternoon pancakes were more like crepes. Cooks began adding pearl ash, or what is now known as baking soda, as a rising agent in the 1780s, which made the pancakes thick and fluffy and filled with flavor. This made it possible for frontier cooks to enjoy a meal akin to a break before starting their morning’s agricultural labor. The heavier pancakes were never very popular as a dinner dish.
On September 26, National Pancake Day, the 500-year-old delicacy takes center stage at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Pancakes can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways. Pancakes are a fluffy delight, whether they’re made at home or at your local cafe or restaurant. 34% of Americans like pancakes, 5% hate them, and 59% of Americans adore them, according to a 2021 study by international marketing agency Top Agency. Pancake hatred is only 2%.
Our team did a pancake showdown to enjoy different varieties of pancakes.
We all tried to use gluten free ingredients and dairy free options to make it a bit healthier for all of us.
The story started off when everyone was frozen while the epilogue scene of Meanwhile which was the series finale in 2013 but alternating the future and the important lesson that everyone is back for a revival series 10 years later. Some of the cast as change their tones while sounds. While Resuming where the previous episode left off, the cosmos is eternally frozen. Resetting the cosmos to the instant when time stood still, Professor Farnsworth enters a time warp and presses the time button. The other members of the Planet Express Crew are perplexed, while Fry and Leela are brought back to their younger ages but lose all memory of their wedding.
The Main Plot was that the whole crew went back to Planet Express while Fry was fractal that he’s been in the 31st Century for a long time after he checked the calendar. It has been 23 years and felt like he hasn’t achieved something. Bender laughed at his pain while Fry stand up for something to create a goal and Leela slapped at Bender which he supposed to support for him by not laugh and point but he does it again and slaps Zoidberg by accident. The next scene was when Fry was thinking to create a goal, Bender turned on the TV and Fry thought of an idea by watching every TV show ever. While Bender scrolled the tv remote to pass through the guide, Fry stood up and wanted to watch every show like Fulu which is the parody of Hulu. Then Leela decided to support Fry’s goal which she didn’t believe at first which she asked Fry to go for it. Fry started off with the Scary Mirror, then The Great Neptuian BAM-OFF, and HUMORBOT 5.0 Stand Up Special. Afterwards, came back to the meeting to tell everyone he had finished watch All My Circuits until Bedner told that it got cancelled like 3 or 4 times. He got upset that he would never watch over 13,020 episodes after 10 years. Leela thought it would work but it sounds risky which it was called Bingeing. The Professer warned Fry about the dangers of Bingeing which Fry wanted to take the risk anyway.
Later on Fry, has wore the still suit and add all of the technology to watch All My Circuits. After a month of binging, Fry hasn’t move while The Professor used his sensor assault and it was both TV Signal and Fry’s Brainwaves. It could be possible that Fry has been losing touch with reality. Fry would become a vegetable if he runs out of episodes for the dangers of bingeing. Leela realise it was some way her fault but mostly Fry to full for his dreams after the professor cut her ponytail. Leela thought it would be a great idea to bring back All My Circuits on a streaming site since cable broadcasting won’t bring them back. Leela and Bender went to Fulu Headquarters while she punched a security guard and Bender solutes him. Once they reached to the Fulu Executives Office the 3 TV Excurobots, Bender and Leela asked them to bring back All My Circuits which they give them a pass until a new data correction that one viewer wanted to request to bring back the series. They’re delighted that to bring the green light project to resume the program. While Calculon was stuck in Robot Hell with the Robot Devil, he got a call to get back on set and the Robot Devil finally had enough of his shenanigans and sent him into the resurrection cannon. While everyone is back on the show, Calculon wanted to find his assistant which Bender decided to help him out and served him coffee. The Professor called Leela to let her know that Fry was down to a few more which he won’t survive by lunch if they don’t launch new episodes.
While resuming episodes of All My Circuits, Leela asked the Professor to do as much episodes as possible. Then they have to double speed the line of the episodes. After one scene was cut, Calculon noticed that the writers has stopped writing scripts for the episodes so Bender decided to take over the Writers’ Room. While using the line “Bender is Great” it was on the script of the episode but then the Director of the show got a heart attack so Leela took the executive producer’s job to wrapped up the episode. It didn’t last when the Execubots came in for some constructive criticism. They told them the show is cancelled which both Bender and Leela gasped which the set has been destroyed. Leela got upset because Fry wouldn’t make it alive. Then Leela called The Professor that the show got cancelled so he asked her to bring in the actors to Planet Express. Meanwhile, the cast performed an episode for Fry to recap the series finale. He had to shift his focus from the streaming world back to the real world which it sounds like a dangerous situation but it might slowly gradually shift the focus. Leela wanted Calculon to perform a live performance like the Milwaukee Shakespeare Festival. As the crew performed an act, they gradually began to use the audio from fast to normal phase. After Bender accidentally just the cigar to burn the basket and caused to burn Fry which it made worse when Amy accidentally use Battery Acid while Hermes asked her to stop which he was burned into pieces. Leela wailed that Fry was gone because she encouraged him to use his hopes and dreams which she felt stupid about the decision. Fry eventually came into the room and asked everyone about the commotion. Leela was happy that Fry was alive and he told everyone that he left the suit 2 days ago because he wanted to head back to reading. He told everyone that the show was becoming unwatchable and the writers became downright desperate towards the end. The lesson was to take responsibility of how much time your watching tv which would effect your brain.
The epilogue scene was when Fry went to the White House for the Presidential Summit to educate the lesson on the dangers of streaming television. He also told the viewers to not reboot a show if the quality is not as good. He also stated that viewers must binge responsibly, like smoking, alcohol or bleach which he states that they should watch no more than 10 episodes in a row or at least less than average. Fry wanted to think that the show who cares about the audience must be canceled every few years or if wiling to reboot a show every 5 to 10 years or more which it sounds like the right thing to do. Afterwards, he thanked his viewers and walked off the court room. The lesson is that if you enjoy watching tv, you should watch tv or movie no more than half of the day because it would drain our energy and not realising the loss of touching reality of the real world like going outside or play a sport that you enjoy.
In modern times of Bowling, it is one of the greatest sports to play for competition, socializing and having fun with people who enjoy the game. Some Bowling Alleys wanted an upgrade because it was time to fit the modernised design of the bowling alley with the latest QubicaAmf Technology. The plan is to make bowling more fun with the fun features in the scoring system like your lane your way and specialty features that it doesn’t have to be regular 10 pin bowling which Hyper Bowling becomes the new way to expand bowling like hitting the bumpers with the extra points on the scoreboard.

On March 9, 2020, in Lausanne World Bowling, the global governing body for tenpin, ninepin, and ParaBowling, and QubicaAMF Worldwide (QubicaAMF), the world’s largest bowling products company, are thrilled to announce that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a new partnership. QubicaAMF will work exclusively with World Bowling on lane maintenance, bowling equipment, and technological innovation, as well as for all World Bowling Championships, World Bowling Tour Finals, and WBX. According to the agreement, World Bowling will employ QubicaAMF equipment for all World Level events, including continental zone championships, and host all World Championships in QubicaAMF-equipped locations. The proprietors of bowling centers will be directly invited to organize events under World Bowling’s new commercial and strategic plan, as opposed to the traditional manner of responding to a bidding procedure. Activities will take place in each of the five World Bowling Zones, with an emphasis on strengthening ties with the organization’s 114 Member Federations and bowling owners. With 114 member federations from five continental zones, World Bowling is the international regulatory body for the sports of tenpin, ninepin, and the recently established ParaBowling.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) established World Bowling as the global governing organization for the sport in 1979, and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) recognized ParaBowling in 2019.

In 2021, The use of string machines by new bowling investors has increased dramatically over the last few years. This has been observed more lately as certain facilities have switched from free-fall to string machines, according to Neil Pennington, Director of Performance Equipment at QubicaAMF. “Our goal is for this website to become a valuable resource for both new and current investors and operators seeking in-depth information on string machines, how modern technology has made them a viable option for sport bowling, and the financial advantages these machines can offer a center.” The String Bowling Revolution is intended to be a resource of information for investors and operators thinking about or want to learn more about string machines as a feasible alternative for their business, as string machine use continues to expand in the US and around the world. The website will contain news releases, interviews, real-world scoring data from string versus free-fall events, articles and information about string machine trends in the industry, whitepapers explaining the factors driving these trends, and operator comments regarding their profitability and efficiency after switching to string.
QubicaAMF, the world’s largest and most innovative bowling products company, and the International Bowling Federation (IBF), the global governing body for the sports of Tenpin, Ninepin, and Para Bowling, are excited to announce that they have entered into a new long-term agreement that will grant QubicaAMF the status of Exclusive Global Bowling Equipment and Official Partner until 2030.

Together, IBF and QubicaAMF will cooperate on a number of projects aimed at developing bowling as an international sport and expanding its appeal and global reach while also improving its success, sustainability, and inclusivity. Bowling centers no longer have to be close to potential multi-sport hosts since QubicaAMF can adjust to meet the demands of elite temporary infrastructure. With sustainability and climate change being of the utmost importance, this cooperation will enable an increase in the ability to react to differing stakeholder interests. When bowling is featured in temporary sites, multi-sport events, and elite competitions are held, the IBF will employ EDGE String technology. With the IBF having exclusive usage of the QubicaAMF EDGE String and EDGE Pinspotters, in addition to the BES X Bowler Entertainment System, Conqueror X, On-Line Scoring, and SPL Select Lanes, the partnership represents a significant rise in the commercial value of international bowling. Bowling may now be more environmentally and financially sustainable in the long run thanks to the QubicaAMF EDGE String technology. As the IBF works to expand the number of National Bowling Federations and Academy programs globally, EDGE String technology will be used in emerging regions where bowling alleys are not widespread.

Maurice Glazier, the BTBA’s first general secretary, organized it on May 26, 1961. Lisa Blann is the BTBA’s current chairman. The International Bowling Federation acknowledges the BTBA as the official sanctioning authority in England, and it is under its purview to safeguard the sport’s integrity and advancement. Serving as the nation’s sports regulating body, it offers all of its members a full range of services.

The History of QuicbaAMF is about fun, bowling and entertainment for friends and families who enjoyed a life while having a nice conversation or bowl for a league for a weekly event.
AMF originated in 1900 as American Machine & Foundry, a manufacturer of industrial equipment. After experimenting in his garage, AMF collaborates with inventor Fred Schmidt in 1938 to refine his idea for an automatic pinspotter. The world’s first automatic pinspotter is introduced in 1946, revolutionizing the game of bowling. AMF then begins full production of the pinspotter in 1952, establishing itself as the leading manufacturer in the professional bowling market in general.
The AMF Bowling World Cup is founded in 1965, with the inaugural annual tournament held in Dublin, Ireland. At the time, the competition was known as the International Masters. AMF revolutionized bowling in 1976 by introducing the world’s first automatic scoring system, allowing bowlers to focus on having fun rather than maintaining score. Another year later, AMF develops the world’s first Surlyn-coated bowling pin. The AMFlite II pin has become the most acclaimed product in bowling due to its great reactivity and ability to boost scores. AMF created the first reactive urethane bowling ball in 1981. It provides bowlers with new power and performance directly in their hands. In 1987, AMF HPL (High Performance Lanes) established the benchmark for high-scoring, low-maintenance surfaces. The unique surface treatment reduces oil carry down, making play more consistent for bowlers of high skill level. Over a year later, AMF relocated its headquarters and manufacturing site from Shelby, OH and Long Island, NY to Mechanicsville, VA, where it remains today. Ultimately, in 1989, AMF introduces the first mechanical bumper system, the Gen II. Mechanical bumpers score with bowlers.
In 1993, AMF pins and lanes set record The Team Event record was set at the ABC Tournament in Tulsa, OK on AMF HPL Lanes and with AMFlite II pins. The record number of pins is still standing at 3,537. It was a Three friends, with one single idea. Understanding that bowling was entertainment as well as a sport, Roberto Vaioli, Luca Drusiani and Emanuele Govoni form Qubica to bring amusement innovations to bowlers and center proprietors worldwide. By 1994, Qubica has started rolling globally to expand the bowling company around the world. Guido Sorba, an Italian bowling distributor, sells over 400 lanes of Qubica scoring (10 times more than 1993) in Europe and the USA. In 1995, Guido, will become the fourth partner of Qubica Italy. In 1995, Qubicard, a software-driven, animated poker game featuring talking cards, capture league bowlers’ imaginations. The game has proven so successful, it’s included in all the next generations of system. In 1996, AMF and other bowling alleys has set more records. The record number of 299 (24) and 298 (14) games was set in Salt Lake City using AMF HPL Lanes and AMFlite II pins. Qubica has went global when Manu, Luca & Roberto grant distribution and the Qubica name to their US partners, giving rise to Qubica USA. This exciting partnership introduces Pat Ciniello and Rich Albright into the group. The next year, the three Italians, form another partnership with Frank Mascadri to form Qubica Asia and Qubica Australia. In 1997, Xtreme Glow-in-the-Dark bowling helps attract a whole new generation of bowlers with lights, music and fun for families, college students and casual bowlers. Qubica introduces automatic lane bumpers interfaced with the scoring system so that the bumpers will go up and down, accommodating both children, adults and people with disabilities can all enjoy to be on the same lane. On that same year, Bowland was introduced when Proprietors update existing scoring systems and offer their customers the entertainment power of Bowland—Tic Tac Toe, Qubes, Slot, and Pogo Pin, visual Lottery games—with sound & industry-first true 3D character animations. AMF has become the first company to offer a glow pattern in their synthetic lanes in 1999, with HPL Glow Track Lanes. The innovation continues when Qubica starts the development of the first Bowler Entertainment System (BES), the future of automatic scoring systems. It’s developed to grow over the years, in the order to meet the challenges of the future. In addition, Conqueror, the most advanced Windows-based total center control system, now operating in thousands of centers worldwide, is introduced in 2000.
The first animated scoring system theme
Where Has the twenty-first century transformed the world in every way, including bowling with the next generation of software firms that collaborated with QubicaAMF? Perfect games launched a competition in 2002. AMF HPL Lanes with AMFlite II pins set yet another ABC Tournament record in Billings, Montana. This time, 64 games with perfect 300s and ten 800 series were bowled. Qubica has grown through acquisitions. Qubica purchases FENIX/MENDES Corporation, drawn to the parallels between the amusement and bowling businesses and eager to become a new center package supplier. The company then discusses its exciting line of traditional and miniature bowling items and how they might assist bowling center owners improve revenue. After just nine years, Qubica has established itself as one of the world’s few full-service bowling providers. In 2003, Qubica presents its new product line, which includes the Bowler Entertainment System (BES), under the creative name Program X. The collection of business solutions and products offers market segment-specific bowling experiences to all customer types. In 2004, AMF held their 40th annual Bowling World Cup in Singapore, with 95 countries participating and 8 perfect games bowled. The management team is quietly studying the merger with AMF, and excitement is growing. In 2005, legendary Dick Weber, an AMF ambassador for nearly 50 years, leaves a legacy to the sport of bowling. He was chosen for the PBA Hall of Fame in 1975, and he won 26 PBA tours. He was also recognized to the American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. Later On June 14, 2005, industry giants AMF Bowling Products and Italian-based Qubica Worldwide announced their partnership. As a result of this strategic agreement, QubicaAMF Worldwide is now one of the world’s largest manufacturers of bowling and amusement equipment.

Neurodivergence: Unveiling the Spectrum of Human Minds
In the vibrant tapestry of human existence, neurodivergence emerges as a profound and essential thread, weaving complexity, innovation, and diversity into the fabric of society. Far from being a mere label, neurodivergence embodies a fundamental aspect of human variation, offering a window into the myriad ways our brains can perceive, interact with, and interpret the world around us. This blog endeavors to demystify neurodivergence, exploring its meanings, manifestations, and the significant contributions of neurodivergent individuals to our collective human experience.
Decoding Neurodivergence
At its core, neurodivergence refers to the variation in the human brain regarding sociability, learning, attention, mood, and other mental functions in a non-pathological sense. It is an umbrella term that encompasses a wide range of neurological variations such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Tourette Syndrome, among others. Unlike the traditional medical model, which often pathologizes these variations, the neurodiversity paradigm celebrates them as natural and valuable differences, akin to the diversity found in race, gender, and sexuality.
Shifting the Perspective: From Deficit to Difference
The journey towards understanding and accepting neurodivergence is paved with stories of individuals whose experiences challenge the conventional narratives of disability and disorder. Here are two case studies that illuminate the lived realities of neurodivergent individuals, showcasing their challenges, strengths, and unique contributions:
Case Study 1: Anna, the Autistic Artist
Anna is a talented visual artist known for her intricate, detail-rich paintings that capture the beauty of natural landscapes with breathtaking precision. Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at an early age, Anna has always experienced the world with heightened sensitivity, finding solace and expression through her art. While social interactions and verbal communication can be challenging for her, Anna’s ability to convey emotion and complexity through her paintings has won her numerous accolades. Her work not only challenges perceptions of autism but also highlights the extraordinary perceptual abilities and focus that can accompany neurodivergent conditions.
Case Study 2: David, the Dyslexic Innovator
David is a successful entrepreneur whose dyslexia never deterred him from achieving his dreams. Growing up, he faced difficulties with reading and writing that set him apart from his peers. However, these challenges also fostered in him an exceptional ability to think outside the box, leading to the creation of a tech start-up that revolutionized its niche. David’s dyslexia contributed to his innovative problem-solving skills and his unique approach to leadership and collaboration. Through his story, David demonstrates how neurodivergent individuals can transform perceived limitations into sources of innovation and success.
Embracing Neurodiversity: Towards a More Inclusive Society
The narratives of Anna and David, among countless others, underscore the importance of reimagining our approach to neurodivergence. Instead of viewing neurodivergent individuals through a lens of deficit, it’s crucial to recognize and celebrate the diverse contributions they make to our world. This perspective calls for a societal shift towards greater acceptance, support, and inclusion, ensuring that neurodivergent individuals can thrive on their terms.
In fostering environments that honor neurodiverse strengths, we not only unleash the potential of neurodivergent individuals but also enrich our communities and society at large. From the arts to sciences and every field in between, the neurodivergent mind holds the key to innovation, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the human condition.
In conclusion, neurodivergence represents a core aspect of human diversity, challenging us to broaden our understanding of intelligence, ability, and success. By shedding light on the experiences and capabilities of neurodivergent individuals, we pave the way for a more inclusive and compassionate world, where every mind is valued for its unique contributions to the rich mosaic of humanity.
The world of animation and superhero epics is one of enchantment and wonder, where the impossible becomes possible, and where characters often defy the odds in pursuit of their destinies. It’s a world that resonates deeply with many, especially within the autistic community. For autistic individuals, characters from Disney, Marvel, and other beloved franchises often become more than just parts of a story; they become mediums through which they can understand and express their own emotions, experiences, and identities.
The phenomenon of finding one’s voice through fictional characters is beautifully illustrated in many contexts, including in heartfelt moments of “Love on the Spectrum,” a show that explores the lives of autistic adults navigating the complex world of relationships. In one memorable scene, David and Abby share a connection by singing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” from Disney’s “The Lion King.” This simple act of singing a song from a cherished movie provided a means for them to communicate feelings that might otherwise have been challenging to express directly.
Characters from Disney films and Marvel comics, in particular, embody a broad spectrum of traits, including perseverance, uniqueness, bravery, and vulnerability. Autistic individuals often see reflections of themselves in characters who are also different or misunderstood. This identification can be incredibly empowering. It reassures them that their unique qualities are not just acceptable but are superpowers in their own right.
Moreover, many Disney and Marvel characters undergo journeys that mirror the challenges and triumphs that autistic people may face. For instance, Elsa from “Frozen” struggles with her magical abilities, feeling isolated because she is different. However, she ultimately learns to embrace her powers, finding her place in the world. Similarly, characters like Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy,” whose ability to express a vast range of emotions and thoughts with the single line “I am Groot,” show that communication can take many forms, a concept that resonates with many non-verbal or minimally verbal autistic individuals.
Using lines, songs, and character arcs from these stories allows autistic people to externalize their emotions and communicate in a way that others can understand and connect with. It provides a shared language, a bridge between experiencing the world differently and finding common emotional ground with others.
This connection also extends beyond individual moments of expression. Engaging with these characters and their stories in social settings, like theme parks, conventions, or movie viewings, can foster a sense of community and belonging. Sharing a favorite character or song from a movie creates an immediate connection with others who appreciate the same stories, making these characters powerful tools for social interaction and bonding.
In celebrating the ways in which autistic individuals connect with characters from Disney, Marvel, and more, we are reminded of the universal power of storytelling. It’s a force that transcends the boundaries of neurotypical and neurodiverse experiences, inviting everyone into a world where differences are not just accepted but celebrated. Through the voices of Elsa, Groot, and many others, autistic individuals find their own voice, empowering them to tell their unique stories in a world that is learning to listen more closely.
In embracing these characters and the messages they carry, there is an opportunity for all of us to better understand and appreciate the diverse ways in which people communicate and experience the world around them. So, the next time you hear someone quoting a line from “Spider-Man” or singing a song from “Moana,” take a moment to appreciate the depth of connection and expression that these characters facilitate. It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of stories to unite us, to give us voice, and to help us see the world through each other’s eye
