> However, if an application reaches a certain scale or the team building it reaches a certain scale, it will eventually outgrow monolithic architecture. This occurred at Shopify in 2016 and was evident by the constantly increasing challenge of building and testing new features. Specifically, a couple of things served as tripwires for us. > The application was extremely fragile with new code having unexpected repercussions. Making a seemingly innocuous change could trigger a cascade of unrelated test failures. For example, if the code that calculates our shipping rate called into the code that calculates tax rates, then making changes to how we calculate tax rates could affect the outcome of shipping rate calculations, but it might not be obvious why. This was a result of high coupling and a lack of boundaries, which also resulted in tests that were difficult to write, and very slow to run on CI. > Developing in Shopify required a lot of context to make seemingly simple changes. When new Shopifolk onboarded and got to know the codebase, the amount of information they needed to take in before becoming effective was massive. For example, a new developer who joined the shipping team should only need to understand the implementation of the shipping business logic before they can start building. However, the reality was that they would also need to understand how orders are created, how we process payments, and much more since everything was so intertwined. That's too much knowledge for an individual to have to hold in their head just to ship their first feature. Complex monolithic applications result in steep learning curves. I've tried a new approach at hackathons where I build a Rails monolith that calls serverless cloud functions. So collaborators can write cloud functions in their language of choice to implement functionality and the Rails monolith integrates their code into the main app. I wonder how this approach would fare for a medium sized codebase. shopify's problem can be fixed without microservices by writing modular code. The monolith should be structured as a set of libraries. I find it so strange, the way these microservice debates always assume that any codebase running in a single process is necessarily spaghetti-structured. The microservice architecture seems to mainly function as a way to impose discipline on programmers who lack self-discipline. Instead of an app directory you put all your code into gems and engines. Shopify has taken the approach of siloing their monolith into smaller rails apps which is a similar approach to refactoring into rails engines. to impose discipline on programmers who lack self-discipline. Sadly we're discovering that while that's the goal, the actual result is frequently Distributed Spaghetti. Oh dear, it seems I've lost my poor meatball. Well seeing as Italian-Cuisine-Driven Development is so crushingly prevelant, it seems most average developers within one standard deviation of ability on the normal distribution lack either discipline, know-how, or time. Or any combination of the three. So it's hard for software not to be spaghetti unfortunately. That's the natural state it wants to be in over time. Microservices won't change any of those variables. Nor will it change the normal distribution of them. So one thing is for sure. No matter what the architecture of paradigm is being used, we can on average expect average quality software. Most people on average don't gush about how amazingly clean their architecture is or how well defined their bounded contexts are. They tend to talk about spaghetti. I infer from that that on average it's spaghetti and theres a chance it might not be. 1400 people work on Visual Studio, no microservices possible. This is the key lesson to learn: if you are struggling to have clear separation of responsibilities, you are going to have a bad time with either approach. To the extent that a replacement system ends up being better it's probably due to having been more conscious about that issue.

Travelling around the world is a fun and exciting experience. But despite the excitement of travel, there are various issues that are part of these problems trips. We mostly face bad weather, discomfort, exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet rays. The eyes are also affected during the trip, as well as to protect the eyes, you need to be constantly aware of the factors that affect it. There are several factors that create vision problems during the trip. It is necessary that we should be aware of the problems that our eyes may encounter while travelling to keep them out of harms that are part of travelling as exposure to sunlight, dust and air. Here are some steps that may help you to keep your eyes safe during travel. Whether travelling by road or by car, the most common cause of eye problems may be exposed to dust and dirt particles present in the air. During the trip, we sometimes exposed to certain allergens such as dust, pollen and dirt. To better perform some eye drops and wearing goggles in windy places where dust and dirt expected. Also eyewear as sunglasses and goggles work well. If your eyes are irritated use eye drops to gently cleanse the eye and remove particles of dust and dirt. Very hot or cold air can cause the eyes to become irritated and cause discomfort. That is why travelling in cold windy places can make your eyes dry and irritated. If you wear contact lenses on a daily basis, you need to take care of your eyes. Replace the lens in 6 every 3 months to prevent the formation of bacteria. Sunglasses are the best equipment to protect the eyes while travelling. Download Eyes PNG Images Transparent Backgrounds Pictures from the below gallery.

Q: 'Emgu.CV.Capture' does not contain a definition for 'GrabProcessState' I work with EmguCV 2.9.0.1922 (x86, x64) and try to play a video file. I took one of Emgu-video-example from internet (EmguCV 2.4.2...) and can't even compile it: 'Emgu.CV.Capture' does not contain a definition for GrabProcessState. (Does Emgu.CV.dll crucially change between version 2.4 and 2.9??) In the case I go to the EmguCV 2.4.2 compilation is OK, but runtime error is: "A first chance exception of type System.DllNotFoundException occurred in Emgu.CV.dll A first chance exception of type System.TypeInitializationException occurred in Emgu.CV.dll An unhandled exception of type System.TypeInitializationException occurred in Emgu.CV.dll Additional information: The type initializer for Emgu.CV.CvInvoke threw an exception."

Pairing suggestion: Pork Sliders with stone ground brown mustard and arugula. The spicy profile (yeast flavors and additional spices)of the saison resonate with the mustard and the arugula. The beer's citrus notes resonate with the tart mustard flavors and start cleansing the palate of all the savory pork flavors and mouthfeel. The alcohol and carbonation finish the job and leave your palate ready for the next bite. The crew at 3 Stars Brewing Company has some other suggestions for you as well: "Excellent year round beer, pairs equally well with grilled foods like fish and chicken; as well as heartier fare like stews and roasts" I have been humbled by the response from some of these breweries to my beer pairing requests. Hinterland Brewery, went above and beyond the request and provided 12 different pairings for their beers! Below you will find their pairing suggestions for their Saison. There weren't any specifics given for this paring suggestion, but I don't think it matters what kind of ham or what kind of potatoes you prepare. What else could go better with a hearty farm meal than a beer that was historically brewed to quench the thirst of weary farmhands? Imagine with me, if you will. The salty and savory flavors in the ham and potatoes. You can taste them, can't you? This hearty meal needs a beer that will contrast against those flavors and mouthfeel. In comes the Hinterland Saison. The carbonation and light citrus flavors start cleansing the palate immediately and then the peppery spices and alcohol finish the job as you swallow. Your pallet will be refreshed and ready for the next bite. There is no need to spice the ham or potatoes as the saison will do that for you as you swallow. However, if you want to add some resonating flavors I suggest seasoning the ham or potatoes with some sage or pepper. Those flavors will be showcased as they mix with the yeast and specialty spices in the beer. General description and suggestion: Whether you are drinking a traditional strength (5% ABV or lower) or a more contemporary version (6% ABV or higher) Saisons should finish dry with very little sweetness. Saisons aromas can be quite complex with a fruit and spice mixture reminiscent of barnyards. Typically their flavors will be malt balanced (leaning towards malt instead of hops) but peppery spice flavors from the yeast and the elevated carbonation levels create a beer with medium bitterness and a dry finish. Specific description and suggestion: This was an unexpected and quite delicious pairing discovery. Just because the general suggestions don't mention a particular food item don't be afraid to step outside the box and try something different. I did just that with this pairing because the spices in "18″ reminded me of cookies for some reason. The spiciness of the rye and yeast phenols in this beer pair seamlessly with raisin, oatmeal cookies.

The Surface Book is an excellent device. Plenty of power, excellent mobility, fabulous screen, and a not-so-affordable price. Since the high price is the main "negative" side of the Surface Book, Microsoft decided to put two models on sale. At the moment, two models are on sale at Microsoft's online store. It is unknown for how long the sale will last, so if planning to buy one, you better visit the store right now. The first model features more than solid specs. Sixth Gen Intel Core i5 processor, 128GB of SSD storage, 8GB of RAM; all that for a price of $1,299, $200 discount over the original price of $1,499. The second model is even more powerful. It comes equipped with the Sixth Gen Core i5 CPU, 256 GB of SSD storage, 8 GB of RAM, and a dedicated GTX 940MX GPU. The price is slashed to $1,649, $250 less than the original price ($1,899). Both models come with Windows 10 Pro and the Office 365 30-day trial. Both offer a superb 13.5-inch PixelSense display with the resolution of 3000 x 2000 (267 PPI). Surface Pen is also the part of the package. Nice move from Microsoft, especially regarding the discount for the model equipped with the dedicated GPU solution. If you are thinking about getting a Surface Book, this deal is almost too good to pass.

Topics:Ad Blockers, Advertising, Browser, Internet, Mobile, Opera Opera introduces native adblockers on desktop & mobile browsers Vivek Pai Browser maker Opera has integrated a native adblocker into both the stable versions of Opera for computers as well as Opera Mini for Android. According to the company it adblocking enables to speed up page loading by as much as 89% compared to browsers without ad blocking, and 45% faster than Chrome using adblock extensions. The browser maker adds that removing online ads will also save money on the data bill for mobile users, up to around 14%. Users can activate this feature under the 'O' menu in Opera Mini where users can turn the option on or off. On computers the adblocker can be enabled in settings, and can be deactivated for specific websites through the address bar. Like adblockers on Chrome, Opera will display the number of ads blocked. Note that Opera had launched its native built-in adblocker in March for desktop browser users. Opera's ad-blocking feature is deactivated by default. While browsing, the browser will detect whether there are ads that can be blocked, and it will suggest enabling the ad-blocking feature. Other features introduced by Opera in the new update include the ability to add websites to the mobile home screen and a video pop out feature on computers. Opera VPN for all: Last month Opera started including a VPS service free of charge with its 'Developer' version of the browser. It allows Opera users to choose between the firm's VPN servers in the US, Canada, and Germany for now. The company mentioned that this would help in improving public Wi-Fi security, hiding the IP address, and bypassing website access restrictions. Resistance toward adblockers: It's worth noting that publications such as the Washington Post forced users to disable ad blockers to access their content in the past. City AM, a London financial newspaper, has been blocking the text of stories on Firefox browsers with ad blocking enabled since October, as indicated by this Information Week report and Wired Magazine now requires users to disable ad blockers or buy a subscription. Similarly in March, following an appeal by French trade organization GESTE, a number of French media publications decided to run a week long trial which would stop users using adblockers from accessing content. The publications involved include Le Monde, Le Figaro, RTE, Le Parisien, L'Equipe and music platform Deezer. Each publication had taken its own approach to combat ad blockers. L'Equipe is forcing users to disable ad blockers to access content. While Le Parisien is shows a message saying that users must disable ad blockers or whitelist their pages or pay €1.12 for three months for the same. Adblock Plus to pay publishers: Yesterday, Adblock Plus teamed up with Swedish microdonation startup Flattr to try to help more publishers, writers, and artists get paid for their work online.To use it, users need to create an account and set a monthly budget of how much they would like to spend for looking at stuff on the web. The money will then be distributed depending on how much time a user spends on each website. In September last year, Adblock Plus released a mobile browser for Android and iOS. This is after Eyeo, the company which makes the extension for browsers, encountered problems in creating adblocking software for mobile devices. More here. MediaNama's take: As more browsers adopt ad blocking technologies, white listing websites which have ads that re non intrusive and do not ruin the browsing experience will become crucial. It is also necessary to give the power to whitelist websites to users rather than the ad blockers themselves. Already ad blockers are being likened to a cartel and publishers like Axel Springer are seeking court-ordered bans on them. Features like adding a way for users to pay publishers when browsing adblocked websites, will also help in appeasing publishers while providing users a way to pay for content they find valuable. – On Ad Blockers and the impact on Media – Ad Blockers Are Making Money Off Ads (And Tracking, Too) In this article:Ad Blockers, Advertising, Browser, Internet, Mobile, Opera Google to let users see fewer gambling, alcohol ads Google is adding new controls that will let users choose to see fewer gambling and alcohol ads.

Visit Casco Access Note Un/learning: the p/re/distribution of knowledge & The Joycean Society 14 February 2018, 17:00–20:00 / Casco HQ If you would like to sign up for ReadingRoom, please do so by Monday, 5 February, indicating also if you will join for the vegetarian dinner that follows the session. As in the past, we ask a contribution of €10 per person for the dinner. (Please know that signing up for dinner means that a plate is prepared for you, so if you cannot make it despite signing up, do let us know by Monday, 12 February!) There's no need to sign up for the film, just come along – we hope to see you there! Together with our long-term collaborator Terra Critica, we are excited to invite you to the first ReadingRoom session of 2018. The event launches the reading group's fourth iteration titled un/learning: the p/re/distribution of knowledge, a thematic series that will carefully and critically traverse topics related to access, excess, and distribution of knowledge over the coming year. It is inspired by the core themes of The Library of Unread Books by Heman Chong and Renée Staal and Army of Love by Dora García and Ingo Niermann, on view until Sunday, 25 February. The ReadingRoom series un/learning: the p/re/distribution of knowledge is prompted by how libraries host, organize, and maintain knowledge and, more broadly, will take up questions concerning access to, institutionalization of, and the distribution of knowledge in its many forms. For feminist, decolonial and anti-capitalist struggles, the p/re/distribution of knowledges — linked to unlearning our habits of embodied thinking and acting — is a key tool of critical practice and commoning. More specifically, the intention of this first session is to engage with the question: What does it mean to un/read and un/learn in the present, to not only sense what has remained in the underground, but also un-read old ways of meaning-mattering? The session takes place in the Possibility Room of The Library of Unread Books and will be joined by artist Annette Krauss, long-term collaborator and founding member of Read-in. Krauss will speak about the artistic research project with the Casco team Site for Unlearning (Art Organization) which, in her own words, is "an active critical investigation of normative structures and practices that seeks to become aware and get rid of taken-for-granted 'truths' of theory and (daily/habitual) practice." The ReadingRoom session opens with a screening of the film The Joycean Society by Dora García, who is a leading participant in Army of Love and an artist whose practice is largely influenced by literature and the act of reading. The Joycean Society, according to Brussels-based production and distribution platform Auguste Orts, "tells the story of a group of people who have been reading a book together for thirty years … with each journey from the first to the last page taking eleven years. Once they reach the last word, an enigmatic 'the,' they begin again with the first word, 'riverrun.' The text appears inexhaustible, its interpretation endless, the inconclusive nature of the reading exciting. The world seems to cease existing outside this reading room or, perhaps, it exists because of it."

Ingeniously Redesigned World Map Looks Unusual, But Is Highly Accurate by viralbandit November 14, 2016, 5:51 am 1.1k Views We've been conditioned to look at the world in one, highly distorted, manner due to the prevalence of the Mercator projection. Gerardus Mercator's vision of the world was revealed in 1569 and has become the widely accepted version of the planet, yet it contains enormous flaws. For one, both Antarctica and Greenland are represented as much larger landmasses than what is accurate, while Alaska is shown to be as big as Brazil, even though Brazil is nearly five times its size. One clever Japanese designer, Hajime Narukawa, has spent years studying an innovative solution for a new world map. To resolve the flaws, he has created the AuthaGraph map, a perfectly proportioned rendering of our planet that functions both as a bi-dimensional map and three-dimensional globe. You can make your own piece of geographical origami by printing out the AuthaGraph and folding it into different shapes, all of which show a proportional representation of land and sea. Antarctica, for instance, is shown proportionally and its positioning surprisingly shows how close the continent is to Africa. The AuthaGraph website explains the complex process of creating the proportional map. "This rectangular world map is made by equally dividing a spherical surface into 96 triangles, transferring it to a tetrahedron while maintaining areas proportions and unfolding it to be a rectangle. The world map can be tiled in any direction without visible seams." Accuracy and innovation helped Narukawa and AuthaGraph win the coveted Good Design Award, beating out more than 1,000 submissions. Narukawa notes that while an accurate map may not have been greatly important in the past, a new world view is increasingly necessary in light of climate change and global power shifts. The AuthaGraph world map poster is available for international purchase online for ¥7,480 (about $73) plus shipping via Alexcious.

Amazin' Avenue, a New York Mets community Amazin' Avenue User Guide The Thinking Man's Extreme Preview To The 2011 Mets Season By nerfan on Feb 12, 2011, 3:10pm EST 87  Tweet Share on Twitter Share Share on Facebook Pin Pinterest 87 Comments ⋆ Rec Recommend this Post 6 Bumped from FanPosts. --Eric We have been laughed at - derided as a poorly-run franchise with overpaid, graying stars. Our franchise player, David Wright, is striking out a worrying amount of times. Jose Reyes is no longer the sparkplug he once was. Our outfield, save Angel Pagan, is declining at a rapid rate. And those are the stars. Our rotation is in shambles. Outside of nominal ace Mike Pelfrey, our top potential five are a mix of young, unproven players (Jon Niese, Dillon Gee), old and never great reclamation projects (Chris Capuano, Chris Young), and future 11-time Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey. The bullpen is a ragtag bunch of a girlfriend's-dad-beating closer, a 100 MPH flinging saint, and uhhhhh... this guy? That being said, the Mets have a chance to contend this season. With extremitude. More after the jump. Players in italics not likely to be on the Opening Day roster. Josh Thole, Ronny Paulino, Mike Nickeas The expected lefty-righty platoon of Thole and Paulino should provide the Mets with at least average offensive and defensive catching for 2011. Considering that the average major league catcher batted .249/.319/.381, this shouldn't be too difficult to achieve. Thole has a career .309/.382/.409 line against right-handed pitchers, and while that's probably going to come down, even a 50 point dropoff in all three categories would mean that he's still an asset. Ronny Paulino has an even better line against lefties, but that's fueled by a .365 BABIP. Still, the Mets are going to be very solid at the catching position. Mike Nickeas offers replacement-level depth in the case that Thole gets hurt or Ronny eats some more "dietary pills" (aren't catchers SUPPOSED to be fat), but that's about it. He'll be Omir Santos, minus the epic t-shirt and slightly more epic homer off Jonathan Papelbon. Oh, and plus about 60 points of OBP. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: Josh Thole was called "T-hole" by high school friends. Ronny Paulino is actually from the Dominican Republic, not the Jersey Shore. Greatest replacement player in Mets history: Mike Nickeas or Mike DiFelice? The Replacements or REM? Which band had the highest HOR (hits over replacement)? First Basemen Ike Davis, Nick Evans, (Daniel Murphy?) Ike should start ~150 games this year, with a chance to improve on his already strong rookie year statistics. Although it appeared Ike was slowing down towards the end of 2010, he hit like crazy in September and thus perhaps gave Mets fans unreasonable expectations for 2011. Ike is slow and has an average 16.2% LD, which makes his .321 BABIP look a tad high. His fielding is extremely good already, and he's got a great arm for a first baseman. Another 3-4 WAR campaign for Davis would be good news for Mets fans, though it might be seen as a disappointment for those who expected Ike to hit .330/.430/.530 like he did in September of last year. In case of emergency, a generic right-handed bench player awaits. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: Ike Davis has already put up 40% of his father's career WAR. In a 20-inning game, Ike can come in and chuck low-90s fastballs. Unlike Felipe Lopez, he will not be injured. Jeff Francoeur was the first player to pie Ike Davis... Was Dwight Eisenhower the greatest president of the 20th century? Has Ike Davis forced you to re-evaluate his presidency? Would you trade Ike Davis straight up for Daric Barton? Would you trade Ike Davis straight up for Richard Nixon? Who is Nick Evans?????? Second Basemen Brad Emaus, Daniel Murphy, Luis Castillo, Ruben Tejada, Justin Turner The underrated Emaus is my pick to start Opening Day, with Murphy being the top bat off the bench and a supersub at first, second, and potentially left and right. Emaus is from the same town as Derek Jeter and sadly does not have his starry brown eyes but probably has better range and on-base skills at this point. Second base will be a weak position for the Mets no matter how one slices it, however. If Turner or Murphy has a strong spring training, handing the opening day job to them would be the best idea. Murphy has the best hitting skills of the three and perhaps the most upside, while Turner plays a league-average second base at times, which is more than you could say of Murphy or Emaus. Since Emaus was taken in the Rule V draft, he'll likely be on the roster no matter what. Pluses for Turner and Emaus: they probably have the ability to play third, and giving Wright days off at this point in his career is probably a good idea. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: Brad Emaus has the least generic name out of the three leading second base candidates... and his name is Brad Emaus. Daniel Murphy shares a name with my ex-girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. Justin Turner might have the best chance of turning into an AA hero in the mold of Brian Stokes out of any player on the current Mets 40-man. In fact, any of the three could probably turn into a hero when the inevitable happens and the guy who wins the job on opening day sports a Frenchy-esque OBP after April. In which position will these hitters hit? Emaus is probably a decent #6 hitter given his OBP (though he'll probably hit seventh or eighth if he starts). Murphy is also probably a #6 hitter while Turner is pretty much guaranteed to hit 7th or 8th. In which spot would you hit Ruben Tejada? If Tejada was in the American League and CC Sabathia or Carlos Zambrano was pitching for your team, would you insert a DH for Tejada? Did I devote a single word to Luis Castillo in this mini-essay? At this point, would you trade Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez to the Knicks for Eddy Curry? Would Curry's status as the tallest player in baseball upset Chris Young? Shortstops Jose Reyes, Chin-Lung Hu Jose Reyes still managed to be one of the better shortstops in the major leagues in 2010 despite a terrible OBP and an ill-advised stint batting 3rd (although if you believe the Book, he could probably hit 3rd in an optimized lineup if healthy). His defense, once an asset, has become pretty meh. However, his baserunning is still epic and the likely 1-2 combo of Reyes and Pagan will be the best baserunning combo in the league. Basically, we can't project Reyes very well at this point. A healthy, motivated Reyes could put up 5 WAR. He could also take a step backwards and continue regressing into 2005 form. We really don't know what we're getting with him. If he's healthy and plays well the 1st half of the season, the potential to turn him into a bunch of prospects is there. Reyes represents an upgrade at shortstop for 20 of the teams in the league, some of them contenders with strong farm systems. I really don't want to see Chin-Lung Hu play. He is just a really bad hitter. He'll probably make the opening day roster over Justin Turner, who's a better hitter. Having Hu play for your team means that you'll be a pinch-hitter down in the NL, which is a significant loss. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: Jose Reyes is the all-time leader in triples and stolen bases by a Met. What are the odds that Reyes steals more than 600 bases in his career (he's at 331 now)? What are the odds that Reyes becomes a Hall of Famer? Reyes' most comparable hitter on Baseball-Reference is Ray Chapman. What are the odds that Reyes is killed by an errant Carl Mays fastball? What are the odds that he wears a Wright-style helmet to prevent this? How many Hu's on First jokes will we have to endure from GKR? Chin-Lung Hu joins Asa Brainard as one of the only players to be named after an internal organ. Perhaps more impressively, he is likely going to be the only major league player ever to be named after two body parts, unless you count Bill Hands. Third Basemen David Wright, Brad Emaus, Zach Lutz David Wright is an elite player, an all-star. He's not an MVP though, and he's supposed to be right in his peak. Increasingly, it's looking as if Wright's best years are behind him. Going into his age-28 season, Wright will probably take another step forward from the misery that was 2009 (HoJo isn't the hitting coach anymore). However, it's difficult to project more than 5 or so WAR from the face of the team, which is sad since I thought after 2008 he'd be consistently putting up Hall of Fame type seasons. Oh well. Wright is well on his way to becoming the best player in franchise history. Even if he has another 5-6 years of 2010-level production and then retires, he'll be the best. And we will think that he's a disappointment because he didn't make the Hall. Some encouraging signs for 2011: he appears to be working his ass off in early spring training and his defense is likely to improve from the abomination it was in 2010. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: David Wright is, right now, among the top 50 third basemen ever, probably even higher than that. How high does he have the chance to climb? Will he be a top-10 third baseman by the time his career is over? Who will wind up as the best player of these three: Evan Longoria, Ryan Zimmerman, or David Wright? Will Keith ever stop analyzing David's swing? Why is David so streaky? Would you like more or less streakers at Citi Field? What should David Wright's at-bat music be? I recommend God Only Knows (what happened to my K rate) or White Riot by the Clash, since it has two words in the title alone that could be misheard as Wright. In 3 years, will Wright or Ike Davis be the face of the team? David Wright has the best season of any NL 3B in the 2000s. Does Zach Lutz have a chance at winning the bench 3B/pinch hitting job out of spring training? Left Field Jason Bay, Scott Hairston, Lucas Duda Bay is going to have a better season in 2011 than he did in 2010, if not because he's actually better but because he'll likely play more games. As much of a disappointment as Bay was in 2010, he still put up 1.4 WAR in less than 100 games, which in a full season would be like 2.5 WAR, which isn't quite worth his price tag but very decent. His batted-ball data actually got better from 2009 to 2010. The main problem is that his HR/FB% experienced a ridiculous decline. If Bay rebounds to hit 20 homers, drives in 90, and keeps up his OBP enough, most people will look at it as a fantastic season from an albatross-like player. I wouldn't be surprised, though - it's just an example of a profoundly unlucky hitter bouncing back with normal luck. Scott Hairston - I don't think much of Scott Hairston as anything but a pinch-hitter, and I'd rather have a young guy playing out there as Bay's replacement - Nick Evans or somebody like that. Lucas Duda is pretty much the same player as Zach Lutz. I'd like to see what Lutz can do at the major league level after Duda failed in his brief audition. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: Jason Bay's full name is Jason Raymond Bay, which means that his nickname could potentially be J-Ray Bay. This similarity to the official SBNation Devil Rays blog is noted. Is Jason Bay a future Devil Ray? Jason Bay is from British Columbia. The Bay-esque Matt Stairs is from Canada as well. Larry Walker is another great British Columbian player. Do all good players from British Columbia have last names that double as common nouns? Jason Bay and Oliver Perez were traded to the Pirates for Brian Giles. At this point, would you rather have what's remaining on Bay's contract or what's remaining on Perez's contract? Who is more likely to pitch an inning without a walk or hits batsman, Ollie or Bay? Who is more likely to pitch for the Mets next season? Should the Mets steer clear of signing North American players who are not from the United States? Should be Angel Pagan, will be Carlos Beltran Carlos Beltran is playing this season on fairly healthy knees. He still had just below-average defense last year despite playing on terrible ones. At the very worst, he'll give us league-average production, and he still has star potential. So many people are willing to write Carlos Beltran off as a terrible contract and/or a faded former star. They are incredibly dumb. Beltran's contract is one of the greatest of all time. Of all time. Seriously, it's among the top-10 free agent contracts ever. Omar, for all his flaws, might have pulled off his greatest victory with this signing. A 3 WAR season from Beltran isn't too hard to imagine, and he still has a lot of upside. With all the players that are likely to improve from 2010 (Reyes, Wright, Bay, and Beltran), at least one or two has a shot at a legitimately outstanding season. Even the players that aren't likely to improve based purely on stats (Thole, Davis) are young and healthy enough. The only player that doesn't profile to improve is Angel Pagan, and he's a very, very good player who could slip a bit and still produce a lot. What I'm trying to say here is that the hitting core of the Mets should be above-average at every position besides second base, and even that might approach the average. Sure, the Mets have problems in every other respect of the game, but a healthy offense perhaps led by Beltran is incredibly feasible. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: In a fight, who would win - Carlos Beltran or Tony Bernazard? Both are dangerous with their shirts off. Is Carlos Beltran the greatest Carlos to play the game? His main competition is his former teammate Carlos Delgado. Carlos Beltran will join the 300/300 club with 20 homers and 11 stolen bases this season. At this point in his career, is he more likely to hit the 20 dingers or swipe the 11 bags? Carlos had a 1.054 OPS in the 2006 NLCS. This is more than 300 points below his postseason average. If Andre Dawson can get himself elected to the Hall of Fame, Carlos Beltran should be in there too. Carlos Beltran is among the 4 best position players in team history already, probably the 3rd best. What does this say about the quality of the Mets position players over the years? What does this say about Carlos Beltran? What does this say about Mike Lupica? If Mike Lupica was suddenly hit in the head with a cartoonish sledgehammer, would his IQ improve? Should be Carlos Beltran, will be Angel Pagan Let's just step back and appreciate Angel Pagan for a second. The man will turn 30 next season (although it's technically his age-29 season). Up until 2010, his career had been filled with half-seasons and injuries. He had a reputation for making boneheaded plays on the bases and in the field. Despite this, he turned out to be a pretty damned good player, one of the top-10 in the National League and one of the best glove men and baserunners in the game. This guy was acquired for a big pile of nothing from the Cubs, too. No matter who fills center and right field, Omar Minaya can look upon what he's done for those two positions with pride. Unless, of course, Pagan gets hurt and Fernando "I could have been traded for someone really good at some point" Martinez plays right in his absence. Then, Minaya will look upon right and weep. Pagan won't be as good in 2011 as he was in 2010 - that's okay, he'll be a near-elite player and a large contributor to a Mets playoff run anyway. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: Angel Pagan has one of the best names in baseball. Angel Pagan is nicknamed Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse was one of the leaders at the Battle of Little Bighorn, in which Sitting Bull defeated George Custer. George Custer's second in command was named Marcus Reno. Reno was the birthplace of John Gamble (an apt surname if there ever was one). Gamble played with Lerrin LeGrow, who played with Steve Stone. Pagan's town is named after the Stones River. Mind blown? Is Angel Pagan the best player on the Mets? Which Mets outfielder will be the most valuable? Starting Pitchers Mike Pelfrey, RA Dickey, Jon Niese, Chris Capuano, Dillon Gee/Chris Young (both will likely make the team, one will pitch in long relief), Oliver Perez, Johan Santana So Mike Pelfrey's Mike Pelfrey. We know what he's going to give us - I'm expecting an ERA somewhere around 4 with some nice eaten innings. And while Dillon Gee is still young and unproven, I'm expecting an ERA somewhere around 5 with some nice eaten innings. The wild cards are the other 4 candidates - Dickey the Penetrating, Niese the Young, Chris Young the Large, and Chris Capuano the Oft-Injured (let's hope that Alderson has the good sense not to start Jenrry the Unready). Dickey has the best chance to be great - Beyond the Box Score has a terrific series of articles on knuckleballers that basically proclaimed Dickey as the best in the business today. His success looks to be fairly repeatable and no one will be surprised if Dickey winds up as the ace of the Mets. Jon Niese struggled in the late going after he should have been shut down. However, a strong K rate and a good FIP (4.10) make Niese the most likely member of the 2010 rotation to break out. Fangraphs projects a 3.3 WAR and 183 innings from the lefty - that's probably a little optimistic, but not out of reach. Even before the return of Santana, the Mets top 3 should be decent. They're no Halladay, Hamels, and Lee (Oswalt?), but three 3 WAR guys at the top of the rotation is better than some people get. My prediction is that the Mets will have a hard time defining just who their ace is. Collins seems to think Pelfrey is the ace, but realistically any one of these three could wind up being the best pitcher. The problem is all are probably more #3 types on a good team or #2 on a bad team than #1 types. But they're not really the problem with the rotation. No, the problem is the back end. Chris Young is that in name only - he's 32 and with an extensive injury history, likely to get broken easily and without good stuff anymore. He probably fits in better in long relief at this point, but he'll be the frontrunner for the #5 slot. Capuano is a little better than Young. His stats in 2010 were promising and if he could repeat those over a full season, he would make a solid #4. If Young and Capuano go down, though (which one of them WILL), there's going to be no one to replace them (LOLlie is not an option). The Mets have very little starting pitching depth and might be tempted to put Jennry in the rotation again. If Santana progresses well, he will be able to replace one of them by mid-summer. Honestly, I don't see this rotation put together putting up much more than 10 WAR, which probably isn't enough to contend. To win, the Mets are going to have to outslug the other team, and pray for the swift and healthy return of Johan Santana. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: Will Johan Santana even make it to 200 career wins (he has 133 now)? Do you think the Mets infield defense will be good enough to prop up Mike Pelfrey and turn him into a pretty good pitcher? Who will be better in 2011, R.A. Dickey or Roy Halladay? If you answered Halladay, are you [bleep]in kidding me? Chris Capuano went to Duke, Chris Young went to Princeton. Will Mike Pelfrey tire of their intellectual discussions? Will Oliver Perez pitch a single inning for the Mets in 2011? Will Oliver Perez throw a pitch over 85 miles per hour in spring training? Oliver Perez is comically bad. Would you sign Carlos Beltran to his deal if it meant you had to sign Ollie to his deal as well? Did you know: if Oliver Perez puts up 8 WAR this season his contract still will not be worth it? Will Jennry Meija be a part of the rotation by year's end? John Maine's career is hanging by a thread at this point. Will he throw a major league pitch again? Why did Livan Hernandez pitch well for the Nationals last year but not for us? Hate him, hate him, hate him. Relief Pitching Francisco Rodriguez (CL), Bobby Parnell, DJ Carrasco, Pat Misch, Tim Byrdak, Manny Acosta, Taylor Buchholz, Taylor Tankersley, Pedro Beato, Ryota Igarashi This bullpen is going to be bad, even though K-Rod's trends weren't terrible last year, and Bobby Parnell is absolutely a future shutdown reliever in the future. The Mets really only have one goal here - to stop K-Rod's vest from vesting. They can do any number of things - hope he implodes once or twice and install Parnell as a closer, install Parnell as closer based on his fastball, use a "closer by committee" scenario in which Tim Byrdak is brought in to face every lefthanded hitter, or have D.J. Carrasco finish every possible game that isn't a 1-run scenario. K-Rod is a very good reliever, one of the best in the game. But he's not worth $17.5 million, not by a long shot. Not when Parnell is waiting in the wings. Outside of Frankie, Parnell, and Carrasco, the bullpen is going to be replacement-level. Misch is a decent (read: 4.50 ERA) long reliever at best, Buchholz would be good if he changed his first name to Clay and suddenly gained all of his namesake's talent, Byrdak is 39 and only good against lefies, and Manny Acosta's AA nickname is the Acostalypse. Of these guys, Acosta is probably the best. I wouldn't guarantee spots in the 'pen to anyone but Rodriguez and Parnell, though. I'd like to see how the competition shapes up for the 4 bullpen "positions" 7th inning man: Acosta, Carrasco, Buchholz, Beato Mop-up: Acosta, Carrasco, Buchholz, Beato, Igarashi Long-relief: Misch, Gee, Young LOOGY: Byrdak, Tankersley, Fossum, O'Connor, Perez?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?? God, I miss when Hisanori Takahashi could do all these things and start too. This bullpen should be juuust above replacement level. Extreme Facts/Thinking Questions: The Phillies had a reality TV series for their bullpen. Should we have one for ours? Titles: Pitchin' Poorly, Mota's Operandi (2007 edition)? LOOGY Wars could be the title of the most anticipated competition. Bobby Parnell throws as hard as Stephen Strasburg. Too bad he doesn't have Strasburg's other stuff. If Bobby Parnell's grandma fought Betty White, who would win? Is D.J. Carrasco better than DJ AM? Is Ryota Igarashi a better pitcher than Tsuyoshi Shinjo? Is the entire Mets bullpen put together as fat as Dennys Reyes? Who is faster - Dennys Reyes times 3 or Jose Reyes? The Mets 'pen last year actually wasn't all that bad. Too bad Pedro Feliciano is gone and the 54 amazing innings contributed by Elmer Dessens are not going to be replaced (especially not by Elmer Dessens). On the plus side, Fernando Nieve will not be pitching for the 2011 Mets. Remember that start against the Brewers? It was Perez-esque in terms of baditude. Speaking of baditude, has anyone heard the Weezer album Raditude? It's about 1,000,000 times worse than the Blue Album. The Mets are really not a bad team. I predict around 85 wins with an outside shot at the wild card. Unlike last year's team, this is going to be primarily a hitting team with a weak rotation and bullpen. Sure, this might be a transition year, but this is going to be a fun, young team to watch and at least one player is going to have a breakout or outstanding season. This is as opposed to the machine-like Phillies, who are old, lame, vastly overpaid, annoying, all four, or Roy Halladay, who's pretty cool. Also, R.A. Dickey for Cy Young '11, President '12. He will become the first sitting president to win an MVP and a Cy Young in the same season (Martin Van Buren slugged his way to the 1838 MVP).

Drunken Klaus iPhone review HOME > Drunken Klaus iPhone review +Lewis Curdie Mar. 23, 2011 at 17:00 More articles by Lewis Curdie You know how drunk people are really annoying at the best of times, but even more so when you're sober? Well, Drunken Klaus is pretty much the gaming equivalent of that. In Drunken Klaus you're tasked with guiding our holidaying protagonist – who is, as the title suggests, (a) drunk, and (b) called Klaus – along a pier in the Caribbean and back to bed. Klaus has had more than his fair share of rum, so he's all over the shop. You control Klaus with the accelerometer, tilting left and right to keep him from falling into the water, and occasionally tapping the screen to jump when you come across an obstacle. It's difficult to say how well the accelerometer controls work, since the whole point is that Klaus is completely legless. Typically, you'll find that a game lasts only a few seconds. As soon as Klaus starts teetering, it's all over. He also seems to have a tendency for skidding along invisible black ice after jumping. Weird. Along the pier, there are energy drinks that help Klaus sober up, bottles of rum that are best avoided, and fish that cause Klaus to fall on his back. Hi-larious. To be fair to developers Root9, I doubt they were ever under the illusion that they were creating a masterpiece. It's the kind of game that people will install, play once and have a chuckle at, then never go back to. Fair enough. Drunken Klaus is the sequel to Klaus, which has reportedly been downloaded over 750,000 times, probably because it's free. As such, if Drunken Klaus sounds like your cup of tea (or rum *guffaw*), save yourself 59p and get the original free version. It's much the same. Not much going on Not funny Costs 59p Summary: Drunken Klaus is the kind of game a vague acquaintance insists on showing you, claiming that it's "hilarious" and forcing you to feign amusement. "Yeah, that's really, uhm, funny." No it's not. Developer: Root9 Compatibility: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Requires iOS 2.2.1 or later. Price: 59p @ App Store Read more about: Apple iPhone 3G, Apple iPhone 3GS, Apple iPhone 4, iOS JanSt / MOD Mar. 23, 2011 at 17:07 Poor me...poor me....pour me another one Even Rockstar didn't get the drunk-bits right in GTA IV...what were Klaus' odds? Poor me...poor me....pour me another one :p Even Rockstar didn't get the drunk-bits right in GTA IV...what were Klaus' odds?

June 2019 Downs Blog June 2019 Luke Hudson- Summer Storms: The strong winds in the middle of the month had a big impact, particularly as the trees are in full leaf, acting like sails to exaggerate the impact of sudden gusts. One of the biggest trees in the Granny Downs Lime avenue lost a huge limb. When it fell, it was so large that it took out part of a cherry tree and a birch in the neighbouring copse. The bought is now lying on the ground, and on its own would make a substantial trunk. The Downs Rangers have cut away the side branches but it is not yet clear what they will do with the remainder. It is probably too large to leave as is, but most likely they will leave some as a nature habitat. Fortunately mature trees are generally able to survive this as witnessed by several of the Horse Chestnuts on the Downs. Litter clearance: Meanwhile good news is that Snow and Rock at the top of Blackboy Hill, are now organising monthly litter clearances on summer Sundays. It is great to see local businesses engaging with the Downs under their own initiative. If you wish to get involved the next one is on the August.

Bristol has been awarded almost £1 million to help transform the future of the city's parks and green spaces. See the full story in the 'associated information' sub-section of the home page. Tim Clarke, May 2019 As you wander over the Downs enjoying the many trees in glorious spring blossom (the horse chestnut trees with their pink or white 'candles' are particularly stunning) you may also have noticed areas that have been cleared of scrub as part of the Downs' Scrub Management Plan. Whilst a certain amount of scrub is very beneficial for wildlife providing feeding and breeding habitat for birds, insects and other invertebrates if unchecked it can quickly dominate other plants, wildflowers, etc and encroach on open space. One of the late Richard Bland's many legacies for FOD+AG has been passing on his enthusiasm for monitoring and recording the wildlife of the Downs and Gorge to others. Richard understood that these cleared areas provide an opportunity to record the emerging plants that had long been suppressed by the scrub, and he initiated a programme of botanical surveys. The programme is being managed by Martin Collins. The programme started this month and I have been accompanying my wife, Heather (a keen amateur botanist), on a survey of one such site on Clifton Down, cleared last year. It has been amazing to see the variety of spring flowers and plants coming through on this roughly circular patch approximately 25 metres in diameter. Heather identified 28 different species of plants, and it was especially pleasing to see flowering varieties such as native bluebells, field pansy and common sorrel appearing, amongst the returning bramble, thistles and regenerating tree species such as ash and elm etc. We'll be back there again very soon to check on their development and to see how many additional species have come through. Our records will be passed on to Martin for inclusion in data for all the cleared areas being monitored on the Downs. New tree trail launched An under-explored corner of the Downs will be looking its best this month as a host of native and exotic trees will be blossoming on an area of Durdham Down near White Tree roundabout. Known locally as 'the Granny Downs', it is said to have been where the residents of a nearby old people's home were brought out on sunny days to sit and enjoy the trees.The trail takes visitors on a gentle 1.1km (0.7 mile) route to discover 17 trees, including familiar natives such as the English oak and ash, to the more exotic tulip tree, silver maple and red chestnut, with the laburnums, horse chestnuts, hawthorns and cherry trees, now in flower. The trail was launched by the Lord Mayor of Bristol recently (April). Robert Westlake, chair of the Friends of the Downs and Avon Gorge said: "The Granny Downs Tree Trail has been very much a labour of love for all concerned. Sadly, one of those who laboured long and hard to bring this project to fruition is no longer with us. Richard was our vice chairman and founder member of the Friends of the Downs and Avon Gorge - he was instrumental in the development of this tree trail. His love of the Downs and its wildlife is enduring. I'm so very pleased that we have been able to collaborate with the Avon Gorge & Downs Wildlife Project to complete the trail in Richard's memory, thereby sharing Richard's passion for trees with visitors to the Downs." The trail was completed with funding from the OVO Foundation and Friends of the Downs and Avon Gorge, and is the fifth in a series of nature trails for the Downs. A pdf copy of the Granny Downs Tree Trail can be found under 'associated information' in the 'home' section of the menu and can be picked up from Café Retreat on the Downs.

April 2019 A Downs Blog- Martin Collins April 2nd, and in just 2 days there have been wild fluctuations of temperature, bright sunshine and torrential rain, scudding flotillas of cloud and skies blue from horizon to horizon, breathless stillness and buffeting westerly winds. Through all of this the downs and Gorge are, of course, a picture and well worth a visit whilst the magic transformation that is spring is in full swing. March went out on a sad note for FOD+AG with the death of another of the Gully's feral goats, although this time the result of natural causes or old age! So now there are 3. If you haven't yet met them, they are a handsome sight and represent an unusual attraction for anyone interested in wildlife and in the ways in which it is possible to work with nature to our mutual benefit. Please note, however, that these animals are not domesticated and that if you are accompanied by a dog on a walk through their enclosure the dog should be on a lead and under close control. April 1st is the first day of the official butterfly monitoring scheme nationwide. This year (FOD+AG's 10th consecutive year of data collection for UKBMS) the beautiful weather, and the prospect of significantly cooler, cloudier and wetter conditions for the remainder of the week, allowed me to enjoy a spectacular parade of these delightful harbingers of spring. In contrast with April 1st 2018 when no butterflies were recorded, you can already see all 5 of our native species which overwinter as adults – red admiral, comma, small tortoiseshell, peacock and brimstone - in residence, together with speckled wood, large white and orange tip On my transect walk through and around the Gully, brimstones took pride of place numerically with both males (an intense sulphurous yellow) and females (a much more demure creamy yellow) flickering across the, still wintry, landscape. March 2019 A Downs Blog- Robin Haward At the end of February this year's dead hedging was finished. Phew, major work but fun and useful. As we worked on the last session it was slightly warmer than August with clear blue sky....this made a change as we have done dead hedging in a blizzard. Lovely hearing a song thrush singing as we worked – and great to meet people who stopped and asked what we were doing – and when we explained there was total support and understanding of the effort to gently nudge the runners out of the wild flower meadow. At the other end of the Downs the granny downs are looking wonderful. It's a great place to explore and marvel at the superb trees – especially the massive large leaved lime at the side of the path.... Richard Bland thought this might have been 200 years old. Of course because of the clay digging in the past the area gets pretty damp underfoot quickly .... so when you are admiring the coming buds on the trees take care. [Note: there is a public guided walk of the Granny Downs tree trail (completed in memory of Richard Bland) on Saturday May 4th a.m. or p.m. Book through Mandy Leivers of the Avon Gorge and Downs Wildlife Project – it's only a fiver. mleivers@bristolzoo.org.uk December 2018 A Downs Blog - Robert Westlake You would think that as the year comes to its inevitable close that activities on the Downs would be conducted at a more leisurely pace, but not so, the winter months can be just as busy for the Downs operational team and for our own band of steadfast volunteers. FOD+AG members carry out regular winter litter patrols, conservation projects, goat monitoring, infrastructure maintenance as well as regular walks and significant events like the December Star Party. The Downs is one of the few public open spaces that for now at least retains its own operational team and during the winter months staff brave the often-inhospitable weather conditions that regularly prevail across the Downs. Even biting winds and slanting rain fails to dampen their enthusiasm as they go about their daily tasks. Winter is when many of the important conservation tasks and tree maintenance works take place. Litter clearance, goat welfare checks and scrub clearance ensure the team is kept busy all winter. Winter is of course football season, and work to facilitate both the Downs League and the University League occurs twice a week. It requires no small effort to mark twenty-four plus pitches and transport and assemble around the Downs ninety-six uprights and forty-eight crossbars. Tying off forty-eight football nets on a cold and frosty morning can be an onerous task. Even a relatively simple task like cleaning the dressing rooms is a significant operation. Imagine what the aftermath of nearly six hundred muddy players, substitutes and referees all plastered in mud is like. The Parks Department who have operational responsibility for the day to day activities on the Downs are to undergo yet another restructuring exercise. Managers face an uphill task as they try to balance providing an acceptable parks service with continuing budget challenges. The end to austerity has not yet reached Bristol parks. FOD+AG are members of the Bristol Parks Forum and supports a new initiative to consider new ways of managing all our parks. Aided by external funding a Foundation is to be set up in a joint effort with Bath parks. The Foundation will have the advantage of applying for funding sources not currently available to the City Council and will play a key role in taking parks provision forwards. The initiative is heavily accented on volunteer involvement and BCC are looking to recruit a Volunteer Coordinator and to appoint charge-hands from within the current staff compliment to work with volunteers across the City. November 2018 A Downs Blog – Luke Hudson Oreo, my Greyhound Saluki cross, has sadly managed to catch TB. As a result of which he is not being let free to run across the main Downs, and is confined to short walks around the Granny Downs, the triangle of land to the east of Westbury Road and south of the White Tree Roundabout. I wonder if there is anybody out there who could comment on the origin of this peculiar name? Autumn is not just the season of mellow fruitfulness but also of decay, the vast majority of it caused by fungi. While I captured the beautiful little mushroom above on the Granny Downs, I also found big bracket mushrooms on the foot of a nearby beech tree. This is a worrying sign as last year we lost one of the largest beech trees and that was also afflicted by fungal attack. Hopefully in this case correlation is not causation. Also on Oreo and my travels we wondered briefly off the Downs on to Elm Tree Lane, which runs down behind the old maternity hospital near Blackboy Hill. I was very pleased to notice that, when so much local history has been erased, there are still three Smooth Leaved Elms on the eponymous road. I'm a little too young to remember the glories of the English Elm pre Dutch Elm Disease, but this unusually resistant subtype gives a taste of what they must have looked like. From their size I suspect they were planted to replace those lost in the 1970s. If anybody knows anything about their history, or has photos of elms around Bristol, I would love to hear from them at fodagcontent@gmail.com. The Downs Committee This is a group that manages The Downs and makes decisions about the area and events held there. Members are Merchant Venturers, councillors and council officers. You can look at agendas, minutes and reports from Downs Committee meetings here At the end of last month, we heard the very sad news that FOD+AG founder member and vice-chair Richard Bland had passed away. Richard had been poorly for some time but finally succumbed to bowel cancer on the 30thOctober. In response to the City Councils aspiration to achieve Green Flag status for the Downs Richard along with a small group of equally passionate individuals formed the Friends of the Downs and Avon Gorge. Needless to say, with considerable input from the group the award was achieved at the first attempt. Richards considerable contribution to the Downs over the past eleven years cannot be overstated. Richard conducted literally hundreds of fascinating walks and talks, had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of the Downs and Gorge and knew more about the Downs trees and plants then anyone. Richard served as a committee member from the beginning and worked tirelessly to ensure the Downs remained as a premier destination. We have lost a true gentleman from our organisation but can take comfort that when we walk across the Downs his legacy will be all around us. FOD+AG committee. 28 October not long now to the AGM 7.00pm Wednesday 21st November ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. Redland Green Bowling Club the agenda is in 'additional information' in the drop down menu from the 'home' button. Guest speakers. Susan Sanctuary: Parks Foundation and Paul Wood: New Hotwell in the Avon Gorge {1730} History & Survival. We hope to see you there. 12 September the FOD+AG Summer Social is being held on 26th September at the Cafe Retreat, Starts at 5.30pm with a short walk led by Francis Greenacre: 'A Social History of the Downs in a short, easy walk towards the SW taking in parish boundary markers and a turnpike milestone, forgotten quarries, Roman Road remains, agricultural fairs, horse-racing, Bristol's first flight All England Cricket, golf, sheep, World War 2 together with loos, concerts, bicycles and even converted horse-boxes and their uncertain future.' The walk will run until about 6.15pm The social will also start at 5.30pm and will be in full swing by the return of the walkers. Delicious Food from Gayle and her team at the Downs Cafe and a licensed bar. A good chance to meet other members - especially new ones - and discuss the Downs. We will ask for voluntary contributions! 18 August A recent Downs Committee planning application to demolish the old toilet block at Circular Road and replace with a more modern facility and a small cafe has been withdrawn. The reason given is that the planners have asked for some amendments to the original plan. The intention is to resubmit a fresh application in the near future. 25 July A week on the Downs Dutch Elm Disease This summer is hotter and drier than the summer of 1976, which saw the peak of the Dutch Elm Disease killing the great Wych Elms that had been planted in 1880 on many of the Downs avenues. It is no surprise that this summer more and more of the young elm trees suckers, mostly some 20 years old, are turning brown and losing their leaves. There is certainly much more of it about than in any other year this century. The disease is a fungus which is carried by a beetle that lays its eggs under the bark of the Elms. The fungus destroys thin layer of tubes between the bark and the timber laid down the previous year. The impact so far is moderate. 17 July A week on the Downs Two special plants this week. Ragwort is in full flower, often towering over the grasses, a brilliant yellow which can be spotted a long way off. But it is poisonous to cows and horses, and the hay from the Downs can't be sold unless the ranger can guarantee that it is Ragwort free. It grows readily on waste site, and must be removed from anywhere around the Downs to ensure that it does not spread. The small white flower that has sprung up all over the Downs since the last mow, which looks a bit like Cow Parsley is Burnet Saxifrage- a silly name as it is related to neither. It is one of three late flowering umbellifers, Carrot which is rare on the Downs and Upright Hedge Parsley, which has a prickly stem, whereas the Burnet Saxifrage is smooth, and has seeds with burrs on them like Cleavers. 9 July A week on the Downs National Meadows Day. The Downs has one of the finest wildflower meadows in the land, and to celebrate this ten members set off at 10.00 on Saturday 7 July determined to find 80 native species in sixty minutes. We had tick-lists of what we hoped to find, though at the start we felt that the dried-up nature of the meadows would make our task impossible. We discovered almost at once that the tick list was out of date- having been created two weeks before, and we soon had over ten new species. We found most of the specialities- Yellow-wort, Centaury, Bee orchid, Thyme, and were surprised by Welted Thistle and Agrimony. The former scrub sites were very productive, and totting up when the hour came round I had 71 species, but Jon, who knows his grasses, had 90. In a normal year we could probably have found twenty more. "Proposed Café at Sea Walls: FOD+AG position The Friends of the Downs support the principle of seeking income sources that will ensure that the Downs remain well-maintained in future. They support the replacement of the toilet block at Sea Walls, (which is a converted remnant of the American Army's mess hall), by a café with toilets and a small display area. The proposal is supported by time-limited grant fund, and has a very tight budget. It will enhance the facilities available to the public without damaging the splendour of the site and will provide a small display area to assist the work of the Avon Gorge and Downs Trust which FODAG will be able to use. Mandy Leivers has been closely involved with the development of this project, and is happy with it. We are all clear that it would have been better if the opportunity had been used to create a Downs Visitor Centre at the site, but funding is very limited. We have made a public comment on the application which reads "I am writing on behalf of the Committee of the The Friends of the Downs and Gorge. We welcome this application as it will improve the facilities at this iconic site and help to ensure the financial future of the management of the Downs. We are concerned that thought be given to the about the following areas. 1 The capacity of the drainage system. 2 The relationship between the café and the ice-cream concession. 3 The security of the site especially after dark. 4 The preservation of the site as an official Dark Sky site. 5.The visual impact of the Solar panels." 15 June A Week on the Downs- Lime trees in bloom The lime trees have just come into bloom, and their scent will waft across the Downs for the next two weeks. Bees can become intoxicated with their nectar. There are at least four different species. First the old Common Limes, with large down hanging flowers, and lots of shoots around the bottom of the trunk, and big smooth leaves. Then the Small-leaved Limes, whose light green flowers are held upwards, and change the colour of the whole tree, with small smooth leaves. There are also some large-leaved Limes, with down-hung flowers and big furry leaves that are often dished, and finally a few Silver-Leaf Limes with big leaves that are white underneath. They have tended to grow faster than the other species and form a more-shapely tree. 1 June A week on the Downs- More on trees. I made a mistake- the Bristol Tree of the Year 2018 competition is open to organisations. So please help the Friends of the Downs choose a tree to nominate. The deadline is 1st September 2018. Please send any proposals to Richard, using the contact form on the events page, with a photo, and a reason for the nomination. The Tree Forum will create a short list and then there will be a chance to vote between 15th October and 15th November, The winner being announced during National Tree week, 24th Nov – 2nd Dec. The Downs has hundreds of magnificent trees to choose from 24 May A Week on the Downs- Tree of the Year Competition A Bristol Tree of the year competition has just been launched by the Tree Forum. Anyone, group or individual, can send in their nomination with a photo of the tree and a short note on why the tree deserves to be nominated as Bristol Tree of the year. Deadline Sept 1. A short list will be drawn up, and the winner will be announced during National Tree week Nov 24- Dec 2. There is an application form on the Tree Forum website (bristoltreeforum.org). There are at least 81 species of tree on the Downs, many are veterans, and many magnificent. Choose your favourite tree and send a form in. 11 May A week on the Downs- The end of the Monkey Puzzle. The Monkey Puzzle tree on the Zoo banks has just been felled. I have known it all my adult life, and it has never seemed to change, though it was obviously dying since last summer. They are magnificent trees from Chile. They were introduced to Britain in 1795 by our ambassador who slipped a few of the nuts he was eating for dessert into his pocket. They were around when the Dinosaurs were. This tree had a girth of just two metres, which a common English tree would achieve in less than eighty years. But I was able to count the annual growth rings and it was close to 150 years old. In the last fifty years the circumference was increasing by only 6 millimetres a year, compared with the 25 mm a year of an Oak tree. A week on the Downs May 3 White Tree We got some publicity from repainting the Small-leaved Lime at the Whitetree roundabout. Radio Bristol carried it, and we sent pictures round the social media site. One or two cars honked in appreciation, I assume. Someone asked why the originator didn't just put up a signpost, which is a good question but one that can't be answered 250 years after the event, and one thing is certain- the tree is still painted and the sign post would have long gone. It is fun to do something just because it has been done hundreds of times before by our forebears, and it is a vivid illustration of two important ideas. One is that History Rules, OK? as a previous generation would have expressed it. The other is that human beings are creatures of habit, and this is constantly expressed in the rituals that govern our lives. A week on the Downs Funderland have left. They cleared out with great efficiency, but must have had a pretty miserable three weeks, the wettest and coldest Easter holidays for some years. The free car parking area had to be closed off because of conditions, but there was only one day when parking demand outstripped supply, and visitors mounted the pavement on Roman Road and filled the grass area there- luckily without doing serious damage. And the Zoo emergency car park off Ladies Mile was not used once. The Downs are for People have issued a press release pointing out that the Zoo has not got a License from the Downs Committee, and there has thus been no agreement for the rent the Zoo is to pay for the use of the space. Last year they paid £7500 for the use of the site, which probably brings in at last £500,000 in parking charges. At a time when the Parks department budget is being cut this is absurd. 9 April 2018 Ben Skuse of the Downs Rangers explains the annual Maintenance of the football pitches Every year is different but it is certainly the case that right now all of the Down (including the pitches) is as wet as we have known it for this time of year. In order to maintain play (twice a week) through the winter we carry out spiking and chaining operations that help alleviate standing water and saturation problems. The Football pitches are reseeded at the end of every season. We also add soil into any lower or eroded areas and sand at times. Income from both Saturday and Wednesday Footballs is an essential revenue in the context of Bristol parks seeking to become cost neutral, likewise events. However the down side to this is that despite our best efforts at recovering the surfaces there is going to be more visible damage in places. 2 April 2018 A week on the Downs March was an interesting month, with three cold spells interspersed with two warm ones. The Zoo did not use its emergency parking area as it was far too wet, and visitor numbers too low. The Conservation Sunday team removed Ivy from a line of veteran Limes trees in Westfield Park. Funderworld rides whizzed through the night sky, but I doubt the visit will have made much profit, which is a shame. The twelve frost nights put spring on hold, though Blackthorn finally appeared in bloom a fortnight late at the end of the month. Trees almost all remained bare, but as their buds swelled their colours began a subtle change. And right at the end of the month someone burnt out a car at Sea Walls, a reminder that not everyone who visits the downs is there for pleasure. 19 March Sign the Petition Our public parks and open spaces are much loved and used with an estimated 2.6 billion visitors each year but they are also suffering from severe cuts to parks services made by local authorities as they seek to balance their books. To make this worse the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) now want to abandon their hugely successful Parks for People programme that invested millions of peoples lottery money into improving parks and local facilities. Heritage Lottery Fund are currently consulting on this change in funding so help us to convince them to rethink and keep this precious funding so our parks can be protected and continue to be enjoyed by everyone. We'll be handing in the petition to the consultation before it closes on March 22nd. The link to the Heritage Lottery Fund consultation is: https://g4-emea.yougov.com/vFqMLPG37gDzPL follow this link for the petition https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/promoted/protect-heritage-lottery-funding-for-parks?utm_source=email&utm_medium=blast&utm_campaign=8_3_2018_fl_park_kick&bucket=email-blast-8_3_2018_fl_park_kick 15 March .A history of the Downs avenues by R L Bland available in Associated Information Richard Bland has written another fascinating article on the history and flora of the Downs. As a taster, here is the beginning 1 Introduction The avenues on the Downs have not previously been considered in historical detail. There are in existence 21 different avenues with a combined distance of 9400 metres, and 890 trees of 21 species. There are four main sources of information about their past. There are photographs, but very few of them, and it usually impossible to judge the species. There are artists pictures which are often more concerned with creating a dramatic effect that accurate recording. There are maps, some of which ignore trees altogether, and some are imprecise. And there are the existing trees themselves whose girths give a reasonable idea of their probable planting date. 1 March 2018 A week on the Downs 46: Frozen Spring It is the first day of Spring, and we have a Red Weather alert for blizzard conditions. The temperature has climbed steadily during the day from minus four to minus three. Snow on the Downs is a reminder of how bleak an environment it was in years gone by, empty of life except for 800 sheep, huddled presumably in whatever shelter they could find, the Downs surface potholed with unfenced quarries. But snow also protects plants from the severity of the frost. The cold weather stops the progress of spring, but does not reverse it, and Purple Plum blossom is already out, common in our streets but present at two places on the Downs. This tree is a variety of Cherry Plum, a small tree of the prunus family with white bloom, often mistaken for Blackthorn, and it normally flowers at the same time as the Purple Plum, but this year will be late. 22 February The Story So Far What has FOD+AG ever done for us? read the Story So Far in the Associated Information page. As part of our 10th birthday celebrations Martin has collated the key events and asks what will we achieve in the future? 22 February A week on the Downs 45: Budbreak We tend to judge the onset of spring by when flowers come into bloom; they are both obvious, and beautiful. But for many trees the key event is not coming into flower, but coming into leaf, a process known as Bud-break. Deciduous trees appear to hibernate once their leaves fall, but in fact there is a constant process of development of the buds that were laid down in the summer. Most trees have two sorts of buds, the leaf buds and the flower buds. The former, in particular the ones at the tip of a previous shoot, are going to expand often with great rapidity as the tree grows. The flower buds are more complex, some male, some female; the job of the males is to produce enough pollen to ensure that the female flowers are pollinated, and they soon fall to the ground. The female flowers then have the very complex process of creating a nut or an acorn or an apple in the short summer ahead. It may be cold now, but buds are already swelling, often changing the colour of the tree as they do so. Take a look. Saturday 24th February 2018 Big plans for Deep Litter Clearance. There are 3 areas which could do with our attention this month. Martin has come up with a master plan to attempt to cover the adjacent areas simultaneously. This will require: a large turnout, 3 leaders each with a team, at least 2 meeting points. This means that before you volunteer on this occasion, we would ask you to read the following carefully and then make clear when you contact us, which of the 3 areas you are opting for, or if you have no preference and can give us the flexibility to assign you where you will be most needed. Please be certain to consider the brief notes on the terrain you would encounter in each of the sites 1. Woodland edge outside goat compound from Sea Walls to Gully entrance then across road to wildflower meadow along the Circular Road. Pros: are the flatness of the terrain, probably manageable by a slightly smaller group; Cons: there could be some sex litter in a small part of the route. Proposed Meeting Point - Sea Walls 2. Through the area within the goat compound +/_ down the steeply sloping tract between the southern goat fence at Sea Walls and the cliff edge to the bottom gate and back up the gully via the two main paths, the rocky outcrop and look-out meadow. Pros: suitable for volunteers with mountain goat in their ancestry, to clear area usually only covered by more intrepid goat monitors; Cons: precipitate in many places, probably not manageable if it's wet. Proposed Meeting Point - Sea Walls 3. Black Rock quarry and Gully quarry (plus optional stretch up to and into Great quarry; Pros: on site parking in BR quarry, flat terrain* , litter access eased by scrub & Buddleia clearance (BRQ) and (GQ); Cons: additional risk of rock falls, * some sloping and shelving at west end of BRQ if attempted, probably manageable in 90 minutes (especially if no-one ventures as far as Great quarry), requires motorised transport to Car Park , off Portway (A4). Proposed Meeting Point - Black Rock Quarry Car Park. if you are interested please contact Martin using the form on the Events page. 15 February 2018 Report on Conservation Sunday Winter programme, 2017-2018.

Beware the Jabberwock Written March 23, 2014 In 1855 Charles Dodgson composed a verse he claimed was a "Stanza of Anglo-Saxon Poetry." Twas bryllyg, and ye slythy toves Did gyre and gymble in ye wabe: All mimsy were ye borogoves; And ye mome raths outgrabe. He later added other stanzas, and the poem became known as "Jabberwocky." In 1871, under the pen name of Lewis Carroll, he included it in his Alice in Wonderland sequel called Through the Looking-Glass. Alice uses a mirror to read the poem. She can't make sense of it, of course, but she comments that "Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas — only I don't exactly know what they are!" I can tell you what ideas the first two lines fill my head with. To me, "bryllyg" suggests "brilliant." At the end of the second line, "wabe" suggests "wave." Before that, "gymble" is very like "gimbal," and "gyre" is an actual word, both having to do with rotation. Humpty Dumpty adds another clue: "'Slithy' means 'lithe and slimy.'" That leaves only "toves" unexplained. They must be the little sardine-like fish called grunion. Therefore, to translate: It was a brightly moonlit night, and the slippery grunion Did twist and turn at the peak of the tide. They do that, you know. It happens during full moons on California beaches. It's called spawning. Or a grunion run. People turn out to watch. Wikipedia tells us that an invitation to go see the "'running of the grunion' was used for several years during the 1950s and 1960s by adolescent boys as part of a seduction 'line' to get their dates alone in a site overlooking the sea, much like 'the submarine races.'" Ah, yes, the submarine races. Apparently they were popular even at inland sites like The Ohio State University. In the 1960s Ben Hayes, a columnist for the Columbus Citizen-Journal, sometimes alluded to watching submarines race in the Olentangy River. I didn't understand what he meant. The river wasn't big enough for subs, and they would be hard to see if submerged. Later I found out what he was talking about: parking along the river to watch the races with one's date, then making out while "waiting for the event to start." As long as we're reminiscing: The morning Citizen-Journal was the Columbus paper our family read. (It had been the Ohio State Journal before a 1959 merger.) For whatever reason, we didn't take the afternoon Columbus Dispatch. Nor did we subscribe to the newspaper published in our county seat, the Marysville Journal-Tribune. Back then, Marysville was only twice as big as our own little town. It didn't even get promoted from "village" to "city" until a few years after the 1960 census, when its population was estimated to have surpassed 5,000. Instead, our afternoon daily was the Marion Star, from the more populous small city to our northeast. And as long as we're digressing about newspapers: Have you noticed they devise their own rules about proper names? Sometimes those rules produce odd-looking results. In the old days, when the Citizen-Journal mentioned Vine Street and Neil Avenue, they used the abbreviations Vine-st and Neil-av. I don't think this affectation by the C-J ever caught on. Also in the old days, the Star and many other publications identified a married woman not by her own name (Sally Jones Smith) but by her husband's name (Mrs. Robert Smith). This convention seemed antiquated to me even in 1961. For example, here's part of a Star obituary from that year for area farmer Ray Houk. We never learn the first names of Ray's daughters. (And Ray's son-in-law Ernest Vanderkooi? His surname is not a misprint; it actually exists in Dutch, though this obit is the only place I've seen it. In English, he'd be Ernie Cage.) Back to the previous digression. Even today here in Pittsburgh, the rules about names seem arbitrary. Outside Brashear High School last November, Anjohnito Willet was arrested for shooting fellow students Andrew Umphrey, DaJour Jones, and Robert "Eugene" Minor III. On second reference in the Post-Gazette, one might expect the shooter to be referred to as Mr. Willet. But the boys are only juveniles. Therefore, the paper called them Anjohnito and Andrew and DaJour and Robert. On the other hand, if the paper were to review a concert by adults Meat Loaf and Miley Cyrus, in later paragraphs they'd be referred to as Ms. Cyrus and Mr. Loaf.

Do you live in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, or New Jersey? If so, and if you're in the market for a new automotive insurance policy, then Plymouth Rock Insurance might be worth considering. They offer both homeowner's and automobile insurance to drivers living in the four states where they currently do business. The company has been around since 1982 when former insurance commissioner Jim Stone decided to use his industry expertise in order to give motorists another option for coverage. At first glance, it appears as though Plymouth Rock is in good standing both with customer service as well as their financial strength. AM Best has given them an A- rating, which means that the company is currently stable and is likely to stay that way in the near future. And while their customer service ratings are high, it should be noted that of the 17 customer reviews for Plymouth Rock on the BBB website, 82% of them are overwhelmingly negative. For the most part, Plymouth Rock predictably charges higher premiums for drivers who have a higher risk profile (such as young drivers, for example) and lower monthly premiums for drivers that aren't as risky. However, even if you estimate that the married homeowners in the chart above are paying about $83 each per month, that still means that they're paying higher premiums than drivers with a much higher risk profile, even though being older, married, and owning a home are supposed to be hallmarks of a low risk driver. For those drivers in the northeast who live in the states where Plymouth Rock operates, obtaining a quote from them and comparing it to your current insurance costs, along with other quotes from local providers, may help you find a good deal on your automotive insurance coverage. However, drivers who don't live within Plymouth Rock's coverage area won't be eligible for any possible savings. And homeowners might not get the best deal from Plymouth Rock based on the estimated quotes our research discovered. Still, we haven't found any reason why they should be excluded from your auto insurance comparison search. It's the only way to make sure you get the best coverage for a fair price.

USA Roundup: General Updates, Arkansas, California, Iowa, Ohio, Washington DC 'High Times' ready to roll with public offering https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/27/high-times-pot-magazine-publisher-ready-to-roll-with-public-offering.html The publisher of marijuana enthusiast magazine, "High Times," plans to take the company public, High Times Holding announced Thursday, as an increasing number of U.S. states legalize the drug. Oreva Capital, which in June announced it had bought a controlling stake in High Times for $70 million, is selling the company to special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), Origo Acquisition, for $250 million. "High Times is one of few household names in the cannabis industry," said High Times Chief Executive Adam Levin, who will continue to run the company post-merger. SPACs like Origo have no assets but use IPO proceeds and bank financing to take companies public through acquisitions. High Times expects to list by October on Nasdaq, but it is unclear what the ticker will be, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters.

Canadian cannabis company pays $40 million for Florida pot grower http://www.mypalmbeachpost.com/business/canadian-cannabis-company-pays-million-for-florida-pot-grower/zd8ho73J124wPN2oc9MoKP/ In the first big-dollar deal in Florida's budding marijuana industry, a Canadian company paid $40 million for one of seven firms allowed to grow and sell cannabis in the state. Liberty Health Sciences of Toronto this month bought Chestnut Hill Tree Farm of Alachua County, an operation that's still very much in start-up mode. Chestnut Hill has yet to open a retail outlet, and Liberty Health Sciences Chief Executive George Scorsis acknowledges that the company remains in a "pre-revenue" phase. Chestnut Hill's most valuable asset is its state license to produce medical marijuana. However, state officials have said they'll issue more licenses for cannabis cultivation as more patients join Florida's medical marijuana registry, so even the license could prove a depreciating asset. Some Arkansas cities say they aren't ready for new medical marijuana laws http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2017/jul/30/local-bans-a-medical-marijuana-snag-201/?news-arkansas Fifty-one medical marijuana-related bills were filed in this year's regular legislative session, according to an Arkansas Democrat-Gazette analysis. Twenty-five became law. Four have already gone into effect. The remaining 21 go into effect Tuesday. However, some local governments are having the largest effect on future medical-marijuana availability by issuing temporary bans against dispensaries and cultivators, said David Couch, the Little Rock-based lawyer who sponsored the voter-approved Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment. "It's a violation of the constitutional amendment, and they're doing it, I think, solely to intimidate people who are considering applying for a cultivation facility or dispensary," Couch said. He added that he is considering filing lawsuits. The Benton City Council approved a 90-day moratorium on dispensaries and cultivators Monday. The Hot Springs Board of Directors adopted a similar moratorium in June but then lifted it in July. The Siloam Springs Board of Directors adopted a 180-day moratorium in June.

With legalized recreational marijuana looming in California, those officials are finding themselves at odds with proponents of medical and recreational cannabis who see them as stuck in the past. "People are pretty damn scattered. And they look for something to do. And the one thing that they've found to do is turn people in, because of the encouragement by our sheriff," said Wayne Walent, a local medical cannabis activist. "It's pure politics." The debate spills into the streets of the county's cities, like Mount Shasta, a small town with a bohemian vibe that welcomes medical marijuana, and another stop on Interstate 5, Weed, which — despite its apt name — doesn't currently have cannabis businesses. Medical Marijuana Oil Program's Viability in Iowa is Uncertain http://www.marijuananewsonline.com/marijuana-laws/medical-marijuana-oil-programs-viability-iowa-uncertain/ Iowa – Iowa's new program on Medical Marijuana Oil was already approved to begin on July 1 during the state's previous legislative session, but according to some manufacturers from other states, the success of the Iowa's effort for the program is vague. The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Office forecasted 6,022 patient enrollees for this new program in Iowa. This program will allow people with specific medical conditions to take cannabis oil as a treatment. Such as those who are diagnosed with cancer, seizures, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, HIV or AIDS, untreatable pain, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and those with terminal ailments with less than a year of life expectancy.

Names such as Aphria, Columbia Care, Cresco Labs, GTI, PharmaCann LLC and Vireo Health jumped out to cannabis industry expert Alan Brochstein as prominent businesses selling products in other states. "They're big and they're multi-state and they're very medically focused," he said. D.C. Marijuana Market: Stuck In A Gray Zone http://www.npr.org/2017/07/30/537324044/d-c-marijuana-market-stuck-in-a-gray-zone While public support for marijuana grows across the country, ambiguity surrounding marijuana laws in Washington, D.C., has provided an opportunity for online distributors. But it has also put consumers in a tricky spot. The District's recreational marijuana law, a voter-approved ballot initiative passed in 2014, legalized the possession, cultivation and gifting of certain amounts of recreational marijuana, but not the selling of it. Initiative 71's framework left open the question of where people would get the recreational pot that they are allowed to possess. Local politicians and the D.C. Department of Health have argued in favor of fully legalizing and regulating the sale of marijuana, but Congress has prevented the District from moving forward by restricting its funding. That funding remains in question as Congress debates spending bills for the next fiscal year. D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, a nonvoting member of the U.S. House, has been lobbying lawmakers to lift the regulations.

Black Desert Online Welcomes the Winter Season With All-New Complete Class Reboots Christina Gonzalez Updated: Dec 22, 2021 6:00 PM Posted: Dec 22, 2021 6:00 PM The latest update to Black Desert Online is the promised huge end of the year update that opens up the winter season and reboots all 17 classes in the game. Winter is here, with the all new season beginning with the option of a bit of a clean slate. You can create a new character with the all new character creation options and play on the special winter season servers. These servers range from Season-1 (Novice, for accounts with all characters in total under level 150) to Season (Arsha) for those that are ready to fo. These servers will only work for season characters, which will advance faster and are a perfect chance to try out all of the rebooted classes. When it comes to the class reboots, it starts from the ground up with new customization options like new faces and hairstyles, default outfit and portrait changes on character creation, end to every part of gameplay from weapons to skills. Since the winter season will let you create characters again, you can continue to use the existing options that were in game before the patch but the default appearance will consist of all the new options for each class. All characters have also had their skill points reset to go ahead with the full class reboot, so GM Silver will be available near the Supply Manager NPC for loading up your characters to be ready to go. If you've played a season character and tried out the new options, this should also help you out. All classes can learn a new passive after reaching level 62. This skill, Unyielding Might, increases the damage of special attacks. Weapon skills have changed, and some are completely new. Some were changed to add new effects or to combine them, while others were removed or streamlined. For the extensive list of changes to each of the 17 classes in Black Desert Online, as well as all the seasonal server options to jump into and enjoy, check out the official full update notes here.

Record: 1-3 Home: 0-0 Away: 1-3 Conf: 0-0 NAIA Stats The inaugural men's basketball team from 2009-2010. 10th Anniversary Special Feature: OLLU Men's Basketball Men's Basketball - Mon, Dec. 5, 2016 (Look for 10th anniversary features on all of our teams throughout the season.) SPECIAL FEATURE (Dec. 1, 2016) – In just a little more than seven seasons, the Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) Saints men's basketball program has risen to a consistent power in the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC). The basketball program began in 2009, and together with soccer, volleyball, tennis, golf, cross-country, track and field, softball and baseball, the Saints are celebrating their 10th season of their membership in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Heading into this season, the Saints are 153-68 all-time, with a 111-33 record in RRAC play. The inaugural class took a share of the 2009-2010 RRAC regular season title with Texas Wesleyan University, and two years later, they won the regular season outright and made the program's first NAIA National Championship Tournament. That team, led by first-ever head coach, Russell Vanlandingham, made it to the NAIA Sweet 16 round. The Saints have since made two return trips (2015 and 2016) to the tournament under Head Coach Ryan Wall highlighted by last year's Elite 8 appearance -- the farthest any team at OLLU has gotten. The Saints have had six players receive NAIA All-America nods, with Robert Martinez earning the honor twice—first as an Honorable Mention, then on the Second Team. Dionelle Rucker (2009-2010), Marco Cooper (2011-2012) and Daniel Skinner (2014-2015) were named Honorable Mention All-Americans, while Xavier Roberson (2013-2014) (also the first Saint to be selected to the NAIA National All-Star team) and Joe Jackson (2015-2016) (also the first Saint to be selected to the NAIA All-Tournament) were named Second-Team All-American. Twenty-two Saints have been named RRAC Scholar-Athletes (including Melanio Ebendeng, Keonte Logan, Alex Tomic and Ricardo Zanini from the inaugural team) and four players (Martinez, Zanini, Lo'Ron Smith, Eddie Ortiz) have joined the Saints 1,000-Point Club. Other major accomplishments from the inaugural team and those who followed include: NAIA Player of the Week honors to Robert Martinez, Dionelle Rucker and Josh Orta and NAIA record for steals by Marcus Thompson. "[The athletics program] has grown. I've been here for five years and it's grown each year," Wall said. "It's become a winning program quickly because of all the coaches and recruits who have come through here and gotten things done." OLLU basketball has never known a losing season. Behind a suffocating pressing defense, the Saints hit the ground running, both figuratively and literally. Russell Vanlandingham poses in Mabee Gym before any branding was installed. Vanlandingham started the tradition of training with boxing champ Jesse James Leija. Training camp from hell Building a basketball program from scratch can be a daunting task. With no history to draw from and little infrastructure established, there isn't much to sell besides opportunity. Vanlandingham (affectionately known as Coach V) started the program with a blank canvas. One of his first acts was to convert an old upstairs track and outdated weight room in the University Wellness and Activity Center (UWAC) into what is now a student-athlete lounge—painting the blank white walls with the Saints' colors and logo and arranging for the installment of a striking mural featuring Saints' athletes. He also renovated a room into a film room, where players and coaches could go in and review upcoming opponent games and discuss plays from their own games. Throughout the upstairs and locker room, there are posters that he had produced with his favorite mottos that invoke practicing hard and winning attitudes. Vanlandingham talks with the team during a timeout in a game against the University of the Incarnate Word. The Saints lost 88-103. Though the school's athletic history was limited to nascent soccer and volleyball programs, the history of OLLU—and San Antonio—were deep wells of inspiration from which too draw. Located on San Antonio's West Side, OLLU has proven as resilient as the neighborhood around it. With the city steeped in a military, blue-collar culture, Vanlandingham sought to create the program in its image. "Starting a program, I had a bunch of players no one wanted; kids that weren't good enough to earn a scholarship," Vanlandingham said. "I might've been able to recruit more talent, but I wanted to instill a culture. So, I took a bunch of kids I thought were willing to work and build a foundation both on and off the court. "I didn't know if we'd win a game that first year, but I wanted kids that would represent the school well and who were here to graduate. That's what I cared about, the winning would take care of itself eventually. I wanted kids who'd be here four years and be great ambassadors for the University. One of my greatest accomplishments was having the highest men's GPA on campus, which is really hard to do with first-year programs." To say that Vanlandingham was an intense coach would be an understatement. In the first weeks of the program, Vanlandingham pushed 30 or so young men through what some would later call the training camp from hell. The origins of the basketball team began at nearby Woodlawn Lake Park. Vanlandingham had the team run miles full tilt under the scorching Texas sun. Former players weren't sure what burned hotter, Texas in August, or their new coach's demeanor. The Saints were forged in that fire. No flame burned brighter, no steel was more tempered. "Coach V was very intense," point guard Curtis Bowens Jr., the Saints' first team captain, said. "That preseason, he put us through one of the hardest camps I'd ever been through playing basketball. Throughout preseason, we had some quit, but the ones who stayed with the program and believed in his system, I think it brought us all together." The first team started with roughly 30 players, including some former NCAA Division I talents. Hours of running until legs turned into Jell-0 whittled that number down to 14, casting off most of its higher level talent. Eddie Ortiz was an integral member of the Saints inaugural team. "There were plenty of days where we wondered, 'what's wrong with this guy,'" Eddie Ortiz, a freshman on the inaugural team, said. "By the end of our four-week preseason, half the team dropped off. These were [NCAA] Division I players. They were like, 'Hell no, we never did any of this stuff in DI.' That's how ridiculous his workouts were. People said if they didn't do this in DI, they weren't going to do it here." Ortiz was the first player to challenge Vanlandingham in practice. From what he remembers, it was for not touching a cone during sprints. It ended in a shouting match and Ortiz getting thrown out of practice. Looking back, Ortiz believes the incident was about more than an error on a drill. "It wasn't always about a mistake," Ortiz said. "I think sometimes it was just to test your character, to see what you were made of." Ortiz was allowed back in the gym after setting the terms for his own punishment: a seemingly endless number of sprints to be executed in a very short time. But the experience revealed a lot of truths. "Eddie was special to me for a couple of reasons. I appreciated that moment, that fire," Vanlandingham said. "Now, if he were lazy and uninterested as a teammate, he wouldn't have been around long. But Eddie's yelling back? He's emotional, I'm emotional—he's a winner. "We didn't have a team of Rudy's," Vanlandingham added, referring to the iconic Notre Dame underdog. "Everyone could play a little, but to be at the level we needed to be with the talent we had, we needed that extra edge." Curtis Bowens Jr. was the Saints' first team captain. The first recorded NAIA men's basketball game in school history occurred on Nov. 4, 2009. It was a 107-103 overtime win over the University of St. Thomas. Five players scored in double figures, led by Bowens' 16 points and eight assists. "That overtime win, the way the school rallied behind us, it gave us something to play for," Bowens said. "We felt like we won the championship, but Coach V brought us down to earth by reminding us it was a long season." In the moment, it may have been hopeful to see the victory as a sign of things to come. In reality, that win was one brief moment to tide the team over through what would prove to be rough times. Across all sports, OLLU has a history of putting together some of the toughest schedules in the NAIA. The school has no qualms about scheduling early games against nationally ranked opponents, or even taking on schools from traditionally higher levels of basketball. Vanlandingham wanted his team to get an early firsthand look at the gap it would have to overcome, the work they'd have to do, to compete at the highest levels. Robert Martinez was the first player signed to the men's basketball team. He went on to set several OLLU records, as well as tying the NAIA-tournament record of 10 3-pointers. "I wanted to show them this was what we were trying to beat," Vanlandingham said. "I wanted them to know every time we went to work, this was the level we needed to play at." Vanlandingham admits that he was tougher on the first team than any other, but there was a method to the madness. In the preseason, OLLU was picked to finish last in the RRAC, which is understandable for a first-year program. "He let us know that being a new program wasn't an excuse. We were going to compete," Ortiz said. "He set the precedent from day one that no matter where you came from, what you did before, everyone was going to compete for what they earned." Vanlandingham says he ignored advice from some of his most trusted peers to bring in talented transfer players. The handful of DI level players he had were from previous connections at Texas State University, but they were quickly weeded out. Everyone else was selected for their demeanor and work ethic more than talent. The coach had a long term vision and wasn't willing to sacrifice or take short cuts for instant gratification. He wanted culture before talent, so when OLLU began to find better talent, it would have the cachet and voices required to mold that talent. "To do what I wanted, I needed nine voices instead of just mine," Vanlandingham said. "I needed to know that if I brought in a junior college transfer, we'd have people here who would hold them accountable to the rest of the program. I needed people to tell any new people, 'don't screw this up. We've worked too damn hard.'" OLLU is an institution rooted in the belief of divine providence. Some from the team would describe Bowens arrival as such. "Curtis Bowens was, without a doubt, the glue to everything we did that first year," Vanlandingham said. "As hard as I was on them, pushing them—the discipline I was trying to instill in the classroom and how we looked and acted on and off the court—it wasn't easy to do. Curtis really helped me there. "I had to let my most talented kids go early because they were testing me. If I'd allowed it for the sake of early success, I don't think the program would have developed into what it has become. I didn't have to lose any sleep over Curtis. He just naturally led. I pushed him really, really hard and he just backed what I was trying to sell when he didn't have any reason to be loyal to me." Ricardo Zanini recorded 1,023 points while at OLLU. He graduated in 2012. There's an idea of the military where drill sergeants break down and unite units by being a figure to rally against. Tough love, so to speak. And through the first weeks of the season, the team bonded off the court, venting about the hell the coaches put them through. "Just having that mutual struggle brought us together. We were all just trying to make it through the day, we were all in the same boat," Ortiz said. "Thank God we had Curtis, because he had other basketball experience where he understood the process and what it took. He understood what Coach V was trying to do. It really helped us to hear Curtis let everyone know everything was going to be alright." Bowens arrived as a junior from Weatherford Junior College on the recommendation from one of Vanlandingham's former players, who was coaching Bowens. Vanlandingham admits hesitation bringing him in. "I didn't really think he was good enough. But he played for a guy who played for me who was the toughest guy I ever coached," Vanlandingham said. "He kept telling me, 'you've got to take my point guard, he's a winner.' Thank God for that relationship, because that kid made me look good in my first year." Bowens wasn't the most talented player on the team. That distinction probably falls to Robert Martinez or Ricardo Zanini. But he was the glue who held everything together. "The pressure was definitely on. Coach V put his trust in me and, if you know anything about Coach V, the point guard was the key to his system. I had to be a role model on and off the court," Bowens said. "That preseason was like a boot camp. Players wanted to skip practice, but I knew that we had a plan and that we had to give it all we had." After their first win, the Saints lost five in a row. Vanlandingham knew it would be a tough start with the schedule he put together, so he needed tough-minded kids who would work through it. Bowens helped keep things together, but the team would still need a rallying point. Alex Tomic was the first men's basketball player to be named an NAIA Scholar Athlete. On Jan. 30, 2010, the Saints hosted Texas Wesleyan University. The Rams were something of a regional powerhouse, having won the NAIA National Championship in 2006 and RRAC Championships in 2008 and 2009. The Rams had size, athleticism and an All-American. And the Saints ran them off the court. "You walked into the gym and see 6-foot-8 and 6-foot-9 players doing 360 dunks and windmills in warm-ups, and we have a team full of short guards doing layups," Ortiz said. "But we were so much better conditioned." The Saints managed a 36-34 lead at halftime. Their speed was wreaking havoc, dictating the tempo and forcing Texas Wesleyan to adjust to them. "All season long we were getting killed in practice. Coach was conditioning us like race horses, everything was so tough. He wanted us to work harder than anyone else," Ortiz said. "Then we got into the second half of this game and there's like 14 minutes left and you start seeing them put their hands on their knees during free throws. They were tired and we were like sharks in blood-infested water." Ricardo Zanini and Robert Martinez both played professionally after leaving OLLU. The Saints dominated the second half 49-32, winning the game 85-66. "The way we beat them, the way they got frustrated, that was the turning point," Vanlandingham said. "We were rated last and Coach V would remind us every day: 'That's how much they think of you,'" Ortiz said. "It became a fire. We were like, 'screw this, we'll show you guys.' By conference, the gloves were off." Improbably, the Saints went through RRAC play 16-4, finishing 19-11 overall and winning a share of the RRAC regular season title in their first season of existence. Though the team would go on to greater levels of success in subsequent years, that first season remains the favorite for many involved. "They weren't really high-level…hell, they weren't even really low-level college players when they arrived," Vanlandingham said. "But they became that. They worked hard and pushed themselves to the that level. That's one of my favorite teams. We worked so hard for every victory. They could've left. Others would have and did. But they kept chipping away, just evolving into a team who believed." There was no bickering over stats or minutes. Most of the time, if a player could stand more than a five-minute stint, it was a sign they weren't competing hard enough during that time. "It didn't matter what happened from then on because we went through hell together," Ortiz said. "I knew we all had each other's' back and we were all tough as nails." "We all came from different backgrounds, but coach made sure we were all on the same page," Bowens said. "There was no favoritism. He let us know whatever we did, we were going to have to earn it. That was something that brought us all together. We looked out for one another. I think that's what made us so successful our first year." To congratulate the team and to prove to them he meant what he said about how they "were going to have to earn" their success, Vanlandingham spent the rest of the spring and summer arranging for the team to receive OLLU's first-ever championship rings. He received coach of the year honors from the conference - a feat he repeated in 2012. Many of the inaugural players went on to find success in professional leagues. Ricardo Zanini played in the Brazilian premier professional men's basketball league for Franca B.C., Robert Martinez plays for the Santa Tecla Básquetbol Club of the National Basketball of El Salvador league. As OLLU celebrates its 10th year with an NAIA program, the basketball program continues to grow. The culture instilled by that first group is evident by more than the banners that hang in Mabee Gymnasium. You can hear it in the sound of squeaking sneakers on the hardwood floors at 6 a.m., or see it in the exhaustion of opponents during the second halves of home games. Thomas Paine once wrote, "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. It is dearness only that gives everything its value." Win or lose, no team worked harder. Years later, those values still resonate throughout the University. Our Lady of the Lake University is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2016-2017 as a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The University began competing in the NAIA in men's soccer and volleyball in 2007. A year later, they added women's soccer, golf and tennis. In 2009, the Saints began competing in cross-country, softball and basketball. In 2014, OLLU added two more sports — baseball and track and field. There are now 13 intercollegiate athletic teams at OLLU. All athletic alumni and up to two family members will receive free admission to basketball and volleyball games throughout the season. Baseball is not included in this special offer. All other home games are free and open to the public.

4 things to know about new Chiefs C Austin Blythe Charles Goldman The Kansas City Chiefs recently agreed to terms with free-agent C Austin Blythe on a one-year deal. After spending the past four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, Blythe will jump to the AFC and compete for a starting role. Here's a quick look at four things the Chiefs Kingdom should know about their newest player: Six picks shy of Mr. Irrelevant Reese Strickland-USA TODAY Sports Blythe wasn't exactly a high draft pick. He was selected in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts at pick No. 248. That's six spots shy of being Mr. Irrelevant, which is what we call the last man picked in the draft. This doesn't mean that Blythe wasn't a good prospect coming out of college, though. Sure, Blythe was a bit undersized, but he was highly decorated for the Iowa Hawkeyes during his tenure. He started 49 of 50 games played during his career and was made a permanent team captain. In his senior year, he was one of three finalists for the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the top center in college football. Sometimes those are the types of intangibles that make you a solid NFL player regardless of your draft status. A wrestling background AP Photo/Stephen Brashear A lot of Blythe's technique has been influenced by his background in wrestling. Blythe is known as one of the most dominant high school wrestlers in the state of Iowa, earning three heavyweight state wrestling titles for Williamsburg High School. He owns a 188-11 record with 146 pins, good for the fifth-most in state history as of a year ago. "Everything in wrestling translates to football," Blythe told USA TODAY's Jori Epstein ahead of Super Bowl LIII. "Hand placement, leverage, keeping your elbows in, bending at the knees not the hips. All that stuff translates directly to offensive-line play." Blythe won't be the only former wrestler on the team, as Nick Allegretti also has a wrestling background. We warming up for the Divisional Playoff Game or Sectional wrestling Finals???? Lets gooooo! pic.twitter.com/mlMdwgKqYX — Carl Allegretti (@CarlAllegretti) January 17, 2021 Blythe played center for the Iowa Hawkeyes and nearly earned the highest possible award for that position. He played the center for the Colts when he was drafted and he started all 16 games at center for the Rams in 2020. It's where he's expected to play for the Chiefs, but it's not the only position that he's capable of playing. When Los Angeles first inserted Blythe into the starting lineup he was playing the right guard position. He played so well that he earned the starting job, replacing troubled right guard Jamon Brown. In 2018, Blythe had one of his best professional seasons playing 1,073 snaps at right guard, allowing 30 pressures but no sacks on the season according to Pro Football Focus. If Kansas City finds themselves in another bind where they need to shuffle the offensive line, Blythe could be a valuable piece. Sean McVay spoke highly of him prior to free agency The Rams did a lot of shuffling on their offensive line in 2020 after a down year in 2019. Blythe seemed to be the one constant through it all and his head coach knew just how important he was to the success of their offense. "He really has done a nice job," McVay told reporters in February. "It's funny that you mention that because we were talking amongst coaches and with Les (Snead) and his group over the last couple weeks. You talk about the importance of that center position, having the command and the capacity that you're looking for because of the amount of responsibility that you put on that individual with where the communication starts and he and the quarterback working in unison. He did a great job. He's definitely somebody that we appreciate and value." Unfortunately for McVay and the Rams, they couldn't manage to retain Blythe. Now, he'll be working in unison with the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. Hopefully, he leaves the same type of impression on his coaches in Kansas City.

Board to submit assessment report to Punjab govt in five days. Provincial govt to devise course of action to bring Nawaz back and initiate legal proceedings against his guarantor Shahbaz Sharif. In line with the federal cabinet's decision, the Punjab government on Friday has formed a medical board to examine PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif's health reports submitted in Lahore High Court (LHC), Geo News reported. A special medical board comprising nine senior doctors will submit their report to the provincial government in five days after evaluation of former premier Nawaz Sharif's medical report regarding his health condition. PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif left for London in November 2019 following his illness as Prime Minister Imran Khan had granted him permission to go abroad for medical treatment. In the light of the medical board's recommendations, the next course of action will be devised by the government to bring Nawaz Sharif back to the country and to initiate legal proceedings against Shahbaz Sharif as the guarantor of his brother. Punjab government spokesperson Hassan Khawar confirmed that a notification has been issued in this regard, according to which the medical board comprise Dr Mohammad Arif Nadeem, Dr Ghias-un-Nabi Tayyab, Dr Saqib Saeed, Dr Shahid Hameed, Dr Bilal S Mohi-ud-din, Dr Ambreen Hamid, Dr Shafiq-ur-Rehman, Dr Moona Aziz, and Dr Khadija Irfan. It is worth mentioning here that the federal government on Wednesday had asked for experts' opinions related to the medical reports of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif. In the light of the federal cabinet's decision, the attorney-general for Pakistan (AGP) had written a letter to the Punjab government directing it to receive an opinion from relevant experts regarding the medical reports of former premier Nawaz Sharif submitted in Lahore High Court (LHC) and assess whether his condition has improved. Bringing Nawaz back Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday said the federal cabinet had also decided to approach the Lahore High Court (LHC) against the Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif as he was the guarantor for his brother, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's, return to Pakistan. "It was not right of Nawaz Sharif to act regarding his health issues. And to bring him back, the federal cabinet has decided to approach the court," the information minister said. A timeline of Nawaz Sharif's case On the night between October 21 and 22, 2019, Nawaz Sharif's condition deteriorated and he was shifted to a hospital. On October 25, Nawaz Sharif was granted bail on medical grounds in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case. On October 26, Nawaz Sharif was granted interim bail on humanitarian grounds in the Al-Azizia reference. On October 26, Nawaz Sharif suffered a mild heart attack, Punjab Health Minister Yasmeen Rashid confirmed the development. On October 29, Nawaz Sharif's sentence was suspended for two months on medical grounds in the Al-Azizia reference. He was discharged from Nawaz Sharif Services Hospital and was shifted to Jati Umra. On November 8, Shahbaz Sharif requested the Interior Ministry to remove Nawaz Sharif's name from the Exit Control List (ECL). On November 12, the federal cabinet gave Nawaz Sharif conditional permission to leave the country. On November 14, the PML-N challenged the condition of indemnity bond in the Lahore High Court. On November 16, the Lahore High Court allowed Nawaz Sharif to go abroad for medical treatment. On November 19, 2019, Nawaz Sharif left for London for his treatment.

Teachers Can Now Carry Guns in One School District to 'Stop Violence' Ronn BlitzerApr 12th, 2016, 2:16 pm California's Kingsburg High School District voted Monday night to allow school staff members to carry guns on school grounds, Fox News reported. The measure aims to protect students and faculty from a potential shooting on the premises, as the school grounds do not have a fence or police supervision. Up to five school employees will be allowed to be armed on campus, according to the policy. School superintendent Randy Morris told Fox News that he will decide who can carry a firearm in school, and their identities will be kept secret. Morris says he has already received offers from potential volunteers. Kingsburg is the second California school district to allow school staff to carry guns. Kingsburg Police Chief Neil Dadian helped write the new policy. He told Fox News, "It would be comforting or nice to know that somebody was on campus, armed, and could stop the violence."

When a 62-year-old patient hospitalized for infectious cellulitis began to develop respiratory complications, an elective intubation was indicated. However, he was allowed to further decompensate and required an emergency intubation. The man, who also had a prior history of a neck injury from a motor vehicle accident, had his neck flexed forward in a permanently fused position, known as kyphosis. When the emergency intervention took place, the respiratory therapist performing the endotracheal intubation forcefully tilted the patient's head backward to insert the ET tube, resulting in a fracture of the cervical vertebrae and severe spinal cord injury to the patient. Unfortunately, the man died 9 months later from complications of the spinal cord injury. Blume Donnelly partner, Michael Zerres, settled the case on behalf of the man's Estate, claiming the spine injury and death should have been avoided by an earlier, elective intubation performed in a non-emergency setting, where the risk of disruption the spinal vertebrae would have been minimal.

Whether they're looking to repair a leaky toilet or replace a window pane following a run-in with a baseball, beleaguered do-it-yourselfers are always within fumbling distance of a friendly Ace Hardware store, and we are partial to the location at 38th and Nicollet in Minneapolis. The staff members are eager to help but don't get in the way, whether you need a key cut, want to purchase some seeds, or are looking to rent some tools. No matter what your project, they seem to have what you need in stock in their reasonably sized, 15,000-square-foot store. The fact that Ace Nicollet is open seven days a week is all the more reason we find ourselves walking through its doors with an endless supply of dumb questions and obscure requests, and on every visit we're met with a smile.

I reported a repair. What stage is it at? During the week, you can call our Repairs Team on 0300 456 2929 (option 1) between 8.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. Key workers can call their Accommodation Officer. A light bulb in my flat has failed. What should I do? We don't replace bulbs for our residents. You'll need to fix this yourself. Take care when replacing the bulb. My appliance isn't working. It keeps tripping my electric out. What do I do? You could check whether the fuse in the plug needs replacing. But if that doesn't work, there's probably something wrong with the appliance. We don't maintain the appliances so we can't help out. Unless you're properly trained, we wouldn't recommend you try to fix it yourself. You should get an engineer to have a look or give you some advice. You might want to check the warranty to see whether it's covered by that. One of my neighbours keeps dumping furniture in the bin store. What can I do? We have to remove these bulk items and this costs money. We recharge this back to the culprit if we know who this is but if we don't we charge the costs against all the residents. It's not fair on those residents who do take care to dispose of bulk items properly. If you know who's dumping the items, let us know. We will be discreet. I've got a sofa I need to remove from my home. What can I do? Your local authority provides a bulk item removal service for a small fee. Check their website for details. What do you do about pests? It depends on where they are. If they are in the communal areas, we can get our contractor to inspect and advise what needs to happen. And then arrange for the work to be done. If it's in your home, it's a little different. We might give you some advice on what you can do or we might suggest you contact a specialist for advice. If you're a tenant, we'll normally arrange for work to be done. If you're a home owner, we may be able to help out but you'll normally have to make your own arrangements. It also depends on what they are. We can help out with certain types of pests, in particular vermin such as mice, rats or squirrels. But there are some situations where it's not so straightforward. Some bees are protected species so we can't remove them. Birds that have made a nest can't be removed until after their young have vacated the nest. The tree in my garden is huge. Can you help? The garden is yours to maintain and that includes trees. You'll need to contact a specialist to get advice on what work is needed. The tree in the communal garden is huge. Can you help? We maintain the trees in communal areas, so let us have some details so that we can investigate. When are you going to carry out work on the tree in our communal garden? We inspect our estates regularly and keep a record of the condition of trees. If work is necessary, we will schedule this in. My boiler is not working. What can I do? If you're a tenant, we maintain your heating system, so we'll need to get our specialist contractor out to inspect and repair. Get in touch. If you're a home owner, we don't maintain your boiler unless it's part of a communal heating system. You will need to contact a specialist engineer to fix it. If you get your heating from a communal heating system, please get in touch, so we can make arrangements for an engineer to visit. If you are at home, we'd recommend you open a window. Think safe – don't leave your home at risk of burglary. And call the National Grid on 0800 111 999. They are responsible for dealing with gas leaks. My TV reception isn't working. What can I do? We maintain the communal aerial system. We will normally only be able to send out an engineer if we've heard from two or more residents in your block. If it's only you that's affected, this means it's something within your home, so you need to get it fixed yourself. Why have you sent me a resident recharge invoice? We will recharge you if we have incurred costs for doing work that is your responsibility. Like forcing entry to your home when you've lost your keys or repairing damage caused by you or a visitor to your home.

I'd love for that to happen but I'm also a realist. It took Jason 3 years to even get up to enough speed to be a starter and he was someone who played American football growing up. Mailata literally just had his first season of American football in his entire life. WHile I'm excited about his future prospects in no way shape or form and I banking on him any more than I would for any other 7th round pick. I can see him spending the offseason working on technique...I think its more about the technical tools he seems to have the physical tools. Tom brady was a late 6th. So I'm pretty sure Mailata is going to be the greatest LT of all time. Well....Michael Bennett signed a 3 year 30.5 million dollar deal the year before he got traded to us. That said the deal had 0 guarantees after year one. I think all of us could swallow this kind of contract and it would be a 3.5 million/year increase for Brandon. aaaaaaaaand.....that's not gonna happen anymore. "I love Philly, but I owe it to myself and my family to explore free agency. I'm in the business of doing what's best for my family. I need to explore the market." - Brandon Graham 1/15/19. They were high enough on Matt Pryor to keep him on the active roster despite not playing a down, he's listed as G/T, Warmack somehow played 9 games this year, mostly ST? Guard up high? No need and a waste. That was clear with Shawn Andrews and the fact that Guard is probably the 2nd easiest position to translate next to RB. But, I would definitely draft an LT high if there's one available...idk, I don't really follow College Football. I don't think you can count on the Aussie or Vatai as long-term answers with Peters being done. 3 new medical staff...anyone listen to the PC? Exactly what he should say. It's in the Eagles court to stay competitive with what ends up being offered. If not, he should sign elsewhere. Have Zero problem with what he just said. Watch his last interview in the locker room and it's clear he "wants" to stay but not for penny's on the Dollar. Nor should he. This will be his last opportunity to make money as DE in the NFL. He should test FA, but I expect Howie to make a strong effort to bring him back. What is nice about this "legal tampering period" is that BG can look to see what is out there and Howie can see if he wants to match before FA even starts. He very well could go. But I doubt that the Eagles just let him go without working to bring him back. I say the same thing about Hicks. What I'd do - using the OTC calculator. So the Eagles can free up to 60m in cap space which means they would be 48m under the cap. I agree but hope Howie learned from Banners mistake with Dawk. Don't intentionally low ball him just to force him to move on. I'm not suggesting BG is irreplaceable but he doesn't get enough respect in this forum because his "sack" numbers aren't on par with the supposed Studs of the NFL. God It would be amazing if the Australian Giant somehow can get up to speed and truly contend for the LT spot in 2019. I know contact is limited in the offseason by the Staff but it would be "beneficial " if they "arranged" a private "trainer" outside the Organization with knowledge of what Stout wants taught/expects from his OL for the next 4-5 months until OTA's. I honestly couldn't imagine if he turned into a Peters 2.0 (converted LT) for the next decade plus?? This is why we need to bring Tra Thomas on board as a "consultant". Dude ran a athletic center where players were training during the lockout. Not as a Consultant because he would be considered "staff" and against the rules but Yes, Tell Jordan get your *** down to his Center ASAP. A little surprised at how low a priority Hicks seems to be in this thread. Injuries are obviously a concern, but he's still a good player who will be 27 at the start of next season. I'd definitely prioritize Hicks over any of the other defensive free agents we have. Sign Hicks and re-build the d-line in the draft IMO. Oh I want Hicks too but at what price? He's slowly becoming an Eagle version of Sean Lee. A stud when on the field but less and less available each season.

I live in Mexico, same problem. One thing we do here is order what we want on-line and have it sent to the home of a friend in the states who is coming down soon…but there are probably fewer of those where you are. The best option is to use a "remailing " service. You have your orders sent to them, then they forward them to you. Have you considered using a Parcel Forwarding company like Bongo International? Bongo http://www.BongoUS.com will set you up with a US address so that you can make purchases from US based online retailers even if they don't ship internationally. The biggest benefit is that you can make multiple purchases from different vendors and Bongo will consolidate them into one shipment for you. Trust me, it has saved me hundreds of dollars! Good luck! Can it be relaxing to swim off the coast of Belize with the teeming number of nurse sharks present? It would be fun to swim with them once or twice, but if my wife and I want to relax in the ocean, is this the wrong destination for us? My wife and I snorkeled off Ambergris Caye and loved it. Nurse sharks are notoriously docile and will usually bite only if provoked. You have to harass them quite a bit. Go swim with them and enjoy yourselves. Yes its totally safe. Especially if you are a lawyer. You wont get bitten just out of professional courtesy.

Yesterday Warner Bros. announced that The Dark Knight Rises had started filming, as well as launching the film's official website. Along with this launch includes a social campaign that revealed the first photo of Tom Hardy as Bane. At launch the official website was just a black image with some odd chanting playing. A deditcated fan looked at the visual spectrum of the chanting and noticed it contained a twitter hashtag of #thefirerises. As fans tweeted using that hashtag, on the official site an image started to be filled in using the twitter icon of people using the hashtag. The image is still being filled in, but /Film has posted the details of this social campaign and the high res photo of the finished picture. Update 2011-03-09: I was wrong! Max returns this Friday, March 11th. It looks like Jake T. Austin will finally be returning as Max on the hit Disney show Wizards of Waverly Place. Earlier this year Jake's character Max was turned into a young girl in an unexpected twist and it wasn't clear how long this change would last. Today Jake T. Austin confirmed in this twitter post that he's "back on wizards set". So when will he be back? According to this twitter post by the show's writer Todd J. Greenwald they are doing the table reading for the show's 100th episode today. Max turned into Maxine, played by Bailee Madison, in episode 84 which aired on January 7th. The latest episode to air was episode 86 which aired last Friday. This would mean some 14 more episodes will play before Max's return, though with Disney Channel's erratic schedule who can say when this would be. Check out more of the cast and crew of Wizards of Waverly Place on Twitter.

Eels send thanks to the Middle East parraeels.com.au Mon 6 Jun 2016, 02:30 PM Leading Aircraftwoman Kerry Paszyn has received an update to her collection of Blue and Gold this year, with a brand new 2016 Dyldam Parramatta Eels jersey. Currently deployed as a procurement clerk to the Middle East with the Combat Support Unit (CSU), LACW Paszyn sent a message of support to the Eels ahead of their Anzac Day match, and in return the club was keen to say thank you for making the effort to cheer on the team. LACW Paszyn was presented with a new jersey and cap by the unit's Commanding Officer during a surprise ceremony at Australia's main air operating base. "It was great to be rewarded by the Eels for my support; even though I didn't expect it at all," said LACW Paszyn. "I've been a long time supporter of the club and when I was given the opportunity to say a brief message of support over Anzac Day, I didn't hesitate to give them a quick shout-out. "I didn't know it would be picked up and broadcast over the Anzac Day weekend, and let alone that the Eels management would take the time to contact Defence and send me a jersey." Leading Aircraftwoman Paszyn said that she still manages to catch all of the Eels matches while she's deployed to the Middle East region, even if she sometimes has to watch a delayed telecast. "We have really good welfare facilities over here, and there are plenty of options to watch Australian sports and for me to keep following my team," said Leading Aircraftwoman Paszyn. "There are quite a few league supporters deployed at the same base as me, and about three or four Eels supporters as far as I know - there's a lot of friendly banter." "A lot of league supporters came out of the woodwork for the recent State of Origin game, and I wore my Blues jersey for that one - the Eels jersey had to wait for the following weekend." "My whole family are Eels supporters, including my kids who regularly go to the games back home - they didn't get much of a choice in who they were going to support." The message of support was recorded as part a collection of Anzac Day messages by Australian Defence Force members deployed with, and in support of, the Australian Air Task Group in the Middle East region. The messages were broadcast on national television in Australia over the Anzac Day long weekend, as well as at the grounds of various Anzac Day sporting matches.

MUMBAI: Data management company Commvault will acquire software-defined storage company Hedvig for Rs 1,621 crore ($225 million), in a deal that is set to expand the Nasdaq-listed firm's presence in Silicon Valley.

Sausalito & Muir Woods Vista Point Shopping Opportunities, Easy activity Your full-day tour begins as you board your minibus and travel west by Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39, homeport to the Blue & Gold Fleet that offers two levels of waterfront restaurants and specialty shops. You'll continue past the Cannery with its unique shops and restaurants, and Ghirardelli Square, once the site of the world-famous chocolate factory, now bustling with eclectic boutiques and cafés. Your drive takes you along the Marina District, an area replete with buildings, shops and restaurants, and by the Palace of Fine Arts, the last remaining building from the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition. Also on your route is the Presidio, a National Historic Landmark and former Army base, characterized by many wooded areas, hills, and scenic vistas overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The Presidio houses one of the finest collections of military architecture in the U.S. It's also the nation's largest and most ambitious historic preservation project. Approximately 469 historic buildings contribute to the Presidio's status as a National Historic Landmark District. You'll then make a brief photo stop at Vista Point on the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Admired for its magnitude and graceful beauty, the Golden Gate Bridge took over four years to build and was completed in 1937. Its two towers rise an impressive 746 feet, 191 feet taller than the Washington Monument. Weather permitting, you'll witness sweeping views of San Francisco Bay and the city skyline, as well as Alcatraz, Angel Island and Yerba Buena Island, two islands situated in the San Francisco Bay, Berkeley, Oakland and downtown San Francisco. Then it's off to Sausalito, a quaint little town known as the "Venice of California." Located north of San Francisco, Sausalito hugs the hills above San Francisco Bay. Named by 18th century Spanish explorers for the "little willow" trees (Saucelito) found in abundance on the banks of its streams, Sausalito covers a mere two and one half miles and boasts spectacular waterfront views. Here, you'll have free time to enjoy the bay views and browse in the boutiques, art galleries, and arts and craft shops along the waterfront. There are many places to dine here, from simple to elegant. Next, you'll drive through the Mill Valley region and onto the winding roads of the Marin Headlands, a hilly area just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, en route to Muir Woods National Monument, a 550-acre forest, home to the Coastal Redwoods, some of the tallest and oldest trees in the world. Maps will be distributed and you'll have 1 1/2 hours to independently explore the park and some of its many trails. You'll re-board your minibus and drive to Fisherman's Wharf, home to sidewalk seafood vendors, souvenir shops and other attractions. Order of tour stops and scenic drive may vary to avoid traffic and congestion. The National Parks Department does not allow for guided tours through the forest as not to disturb the environment and picturesque serenity. However, Park Rangers are available to answer questions. Due to transport restrictions within the park, this tour is operated with smaller minibus transport instead of touring motorcoaches. This tour will operate only on voyages with full-day calls; tour is not available on voyages debarking or disembarking in San Francisco. This tour may operate in reverse direction.

Features Operations Alternate Approach: The shrinking infrastructure By David Carr Business aviation in Canada is literally running out of landing strip. The Toronto Port Authority has proposed a 336-metre runway extension at Billy Bishop Airport, pictured, right, and a lifting of a jet ban to allow Porter Airlines to fly Bombardier CSeries twin jets from the downtown facility. If approved, it is not clear whether loosening the rules would make more room for business aviation. It was widely reported at the time that $1.5 million was the difference between keeping the airport running and seeing it redeveloped. (Photo: WestJet) But opening the convenient waterfront airport a crack will not start to balance out the loss of Buttonville, Canada's busiest general aviation airport. It's the closest Canadian BizAv has to a Van Nuys in California, America's largest general aviation airport or Teterboro, the New Jersey general aviation "reliever" airport, a 20-kilometre cab ride to Manhattan. Markham, Ont.-based Buttonville is the 11th busiest airport in Canada and a valuable asset for the general aviation community. But the land the airport sits on is even more valuable as a mixed-use commercial, residential and retail development as part of one of Canada's fastest growing communities. Developer Cadillac Fairview bought the land from the owners of the privately held airport in 2009 for an undisclosed sum rumoured to be upwards of $150 million. The developer is expected to begin paving over the airfield by 2015, dispersing more than 136,000 annual aircraft movements to other airports within the country's most crowded air transport corridor, and further removed from the Toronto core. A similar script is being played out in Edmonton, where the local council began declaring "last orders" on the Alberta capital's city centre airport in 2009. Since then, council has gradually phased out access, starving the airport of revenue to build the case that the facility is unsustainable. It is estimated that Canada has 10 per cent of the number of paved airports that are available in the U.S. Considering populations, it is a solid line-by-line comparison. But domestically, Canadian business aviation covers more territory than does the U.S. with a thinner population spread over greater distances. Many of the paved runways Canada operates do not have runways long enough to support private jet transport. This is a consequence of different airport building philosophies dating back more than 50 years. In the U.S., the government funded the construction of reliever airports near major population centres. The result is a general aviation infrastructure that enables private operators to sidestep congested commercial hubs and avoid the uneven tug of war between airlines and business aviation for access that occurs in Canada, especially over peak period slots. According to the Washington-based National Business Aviation Association, BizAv operations at America's 20 busiest hub airports account for less than three per cent of total activity. A yawning gap in airport philosophies still exists between Canada and the U.S., which does not bode well for advocates of increased airport capacity for business aviation. Toll booth versus spark plug is how the Canadian Senate characterized the difference in a report published last year. In the U.S., airports, including executive airports, are seen as economic engines, whereas in Canada airports have switched to a more aggressive user-pay model. It is precisely this move that may prevent capacity catching up with the need. When lower traffic volumes caused the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) to cancel a $1.5-million annual payment to Buttonville in return for supporting Pearson as a reliever airport, the federal government refused to open its cheque book, even though the GTAA paid more than $140 million in ground rent that year and Buttonville's status as an economic generator was well established. It was widely at the time that $1.5 million was the difference between keeping the airport running the owners hammering in the "for sale" sign. As Washington wrestles with its debt and some American municipalities, which own the airports and charge no tax, teeter on bankruptcy, it is likely that the U.S. will move closer to the Canadian model. Still, unlike Canada, the U.S. already has the infrastructure in place to support business aviation. Relief may be in sight. The federal government recently dusted off plans for a second Toronto Airport, northeast of a city on a proposed airport site from the 1970s. The Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) and stakeholders have also been successful in having local and regional airports included on the agenda for community infrastructure funding. It will be a tough slog. Making recreational centres, swimming pools and other community supports take a back seat to the perception of pampered executives and their expensive toys always will be an unpopular decision. Corporate Canada has traditionally been jittery about drawing attention to business jets. That is going to have to change. The industry is growing and the airplanes have to go somewhere. David Carr is a Wings writer and columnist. Alternate Approach: In need of a 'big fix' Alternate Approach: Changing the airport model Alternate Approach: Running out of runway Alternate Approach: Can a winter wind blow change?

(Photo: via MEMO, file) Some 310 violations have been committed by Israeli forces against journalists since the start of the year, the Committee for the Support of Journalists revealed in a report. The report, which covers the period between January 1 to June 30, states that excessive force was used against media personnel in violation of all international and human rights conventions which guarantee the freedom of press. Journalists were arrested, detained and prevented from entering areas to provide coverage, the organization said, while many had their equipment damaged or confiscated. Others were barred from travel or had their homes raided, while media outlets were shut down or threatened. Israel is not a democracy. It's a military dictatorship.

The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are. In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. G35 Fus. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues.

Sei qui: Terre Spezzate English English portfolio Red Center - a larp inspired by The Handmaid's Tale • A historical larp • A larp about ethics • An immersive larp • An experience larp • A political larp • Themes: oppression, choice, rebellion • The event guide • Minimal ruleset and "Play to Lose" approach • What you see is what you get • Physical contact and safewords • Dramatic resolution of fights and injuries • In game and off game languages A historical larp Just as historical novels are set in the past, in a real time and a real place, a historical Larp such as "The Rebels on the Mountain" is based on a real setting, with an effort to reproduce it in the most accurate way: we consider habits, clothes, traditions, beliefs, ideas and issues of the historic period, and refer to several historical personalities and facts. However, our Larp does not pretend to become re-enactment: exactly like in a good novel, we will mix facts and imagination. And, exactly as a historical movie, our creativity will be rooted in history, careful to be true to the facts that will be the background of our story. "The Rebels on the Mountain" aims towards creating an accurate and realistic scenario, where the characters will experience life during 1944 Italian Civil War, with complete freedom in choosing their course of action. All our efforts notwithstanding, this aim cannot be reached without a strong commitment from the players to understand the setting and integrate it in their character's psychology, virtually letting themselves slide into the past, in a world so far and at the same time so close to ours. A larp about ethics "The Rebels on the Mountain" is a larp that focuses on important and complex topics. We will give great attention to the ethical choices the characters will be forced to face in game by the events. Will their faith still be strong, when blood will wet the church's stairs? Will they be true to their ideas and their beliefs? How much is wealth worth, when the life of your loved ones is at stake? Will family and emotional ties prevail over the need to survive? What is bringing someone to die for an idea? "The Rebels on the Mountain" hopes to stimulate this sort of considerations. Every choice will require reflection, and everyone will have to take sides, sooner or later. Reality, anyway, is seldom black and white, especially in a situation as complex as the partisan war was. The characters will be caught between the hammer and the anvil, torn between personal interests and ideals, rebellion and obedience, hope and despair. They will be asked impossible choices, with no possible compromises, and they'll have to learn that history is not just made of great events, but of people's decisions. One of our ambitious aims is to allow players to think deeply over a complex time of our recent history. We would really like them to try and tackle the tough question of "What would have I done, if I were there?" An immersive larp "The Rebels on the Mountain" will be an immersive larp, an event which is not only focused on theatrical drama, nor on some gaming elements: we are not looking for amazing acting, or the swift accomplishment of tasks. The aim of an immersive larp is to favour the identification in the characters and in the setting, by recreating everyday life and offering characters with a specific personality, upon which the players can base their in game decisions. It's not just fiction or acting, it's a simulation of reality: everything in the playing field will be part of the world, and every action the characters will want to take will have to be represented realistically. An experience larp The involvement of the players in "The Rebels on the Mountain" will not be limited to the psychological and behavioural component of the character, it will also include physical interactions and experiences of different kinds: from baking bread to chases in the woods, from sleeping in the open to plucking a chicken, even hunger and sleep deprivation because of tension and guard duty. This larp strives to recreate the feelings and sensations of the men and women who experienced the tragedy of war in Italy in 1944: living some of the same practical situations will be an essential part. During the event we will stage relatively frequent situations of hardship like the ones described above -we believe successfully immersing oneself in an extreme setting like this one requires being subject to some extreme(ish) conditions, albeit for a limited amount of time. Naturally, the game of "militarized" groups, such as partisans and nazi-fascists, will be the most hardcore on the physical side. The inhabitants of Montelupo will experience much less exertion, but they will face toughness in other ways, nonetheless dramatically convincing. A political larp "The Rebels on the Mountain" will be deeply focused on thinking about politics and ideals, as it is unavoidable when working on the Resistance and Nazifascist occupation. The organizers, and especially the screenplay staff, do not refrain from declaring themselves anti-fascist, anti-nazi, and against all totalitarianism. However, it would be a mistake to think of our event as a mere partial representation, solely aimed at celebrating the fight of the Resistance. We would like, on the contrary, to underline the humanity and the complexity of the political and ideological situation of the time, highlighting the personal motivations and the ideals that were driving each and every one of the characters. Our screenplay will take contributions from historical sources and witnesses from both parties: we want to tell a realistic story, and to remember that everyone involved, besides being nazi, partisan, fascist, communist, anarchist, royalist, was a human being. Themes: oppression, choice, rebellion "The Rebels on the Mountain" concentrates its storytelling on a handful of topics, and will try to explore their impact on the characters. First of all, war will be the basic theme: the event takes place at the end of one of the most tragic conflicts in history, a war that has directly involved every town and family in Italy. The characters will have to face the effects of the war on everyday life, the disruption that war causes on family and friendship ties, the falling of certainties, or, on the contrary, the bold attachment to one's beliefs and ideals, that for someone will be the sole landmarks during wartime. Another theme that we think is fundamental is the relationship with an oppressive authority: being part of it or enduring it, each character will have to relate with despotic power and its vexations and choose how to react. Finally, the main driving force of the entire event will be the choices that characters will be asked to take. Can violence be justified by the abuses suffered, or by given authority? Can the protection of our loved ones, or of ourselves justify injustice? Does duty come before justice and mercy? Should a fighter use the same methods as his enemy, or should he have limits, and respect his orders? These are some of the dilemmas the players will have to face, and the answers their characters will give will guide their actions. The event guide Sometime around mid-June the organizers will publish the Event Guide booklet on the website and send it via e-mail to all participants. It will be a short document including all the information needed to play this larp: background, rules, schedule. Reading the Event Guide is required of all participants. In the following paragraphs you will find a short preview of the most relevant dynamics, yet the complete information will be in the Event Guide. Minimalistic ruleset and "Play to Lose" approach "The rebels on the Mountain" is a larp focused on immersion and drama: the event's goal is to build a rich, multi-faceted choral narrative while allowing the players to experience 'on their skin' the emotions, feelings and dilemmas that shaped the Italian Resistance Movement. We kept the rules to the barest minimum and every rule is there just to support a convincing and moving narrative. Rules only address those situations that would be hazardous in real life, or potentially controversial (fighting scenes, physical contact etc.). This is not a gamist event, there is no leveling up nor victory points to be earned, no "winners" in the competitive sense of the word, and no referees. The rules should always be considered subordinate to the players' common sense and to the ongoing narrative. And since the goal is not to defeat a foe, but to "experience beautiful scenes", we expect that now and then you will find natural and gratifying to "concede" the scene to an opponent, ending up on the losing side of a fight or caving in to their requests. This role-playing philosophy can be summarized as "play to lose". What You See is What You Get Our LARP tries to recreate a realistic, convincing setting. The game location will be accurately prepared with props and sets so as to allow a very natural interaction with the environment (cooking with actual food and fire, calling through a working telephone, etc.). The same philosphy applies to interaction between characters. Whatever you want to do, just 'do' it. The idea is "What you see is what you get". At the same time, it is worth clarifying that our take on this approach is safety-conscious, we expect you not to damage people or things in pursuing realism: you can't harm another player to have a more exciting brawl, nor really set a shack on fire, or toss your blank revolver into the river to get rid of it. If this sounds obvious to you, we are on the same page. Physical contact and safewords Physical contact between players is accepted and encouraged. In principle, should your character get mad at someone, don't be afraid to yank them and shove them and play out a successful brawl scene together. In the same way, if you have to carry a wounded companion, you will need to do it for real. If you want to play out an intimate scene with your spouse or your lover, feel free to do so. Consent is the keyword here: it's up to the parties involved to carefully regulate intensity, with the aid of a simple system of Safe Words. More details will be delivered in the Event Guide. Dramatic resolution of fights and injuries "The rebels on the Mountain" will involve face-offs and stand-offs, firefights with firearm replicas, brawls, fights and beatings. These fights should be played out with narrative in mind and the outcome will depend on the players' choices. In any case, we will require you to restrain the level of tension and violence in the beginning, so that large-scale fights, serious wounds and killings will only be staged in the final stretch of the event. There will be no precise rule to establish how serious and crippling an in game injury is: the interpretation is pretty much up to the ones suffering them. Some characters (the doctor, the nurse, the old herbalist, etc.) will be able to attend to the wounded and suggest the severity of their condition, simulating surgeries, bandaging, etc. In game and off game languages For the first time in a Terre Spezzate Larp, we will experiment with the use of different languages in game. The languages will be regulated rather strictly in order to give congruence to the narrative as well as to ensure the involvement of International Players. In particular, the narrative will allow for the use of only two languages, Italian and English. We will actually have the SS characters use a handful of callouts in German too, but just as 'a touch of color'. English and Italian, instead, will be used as an integral element to the larp dynamics. Some characters, labeled as "English speaking" in the character sheet, will have to be interpreted by players possessing a good knowledge of the English language: they will be the only ones, besides the International Players, to actually speak and understand English in the larp setting. This will allow them to interact seamlessly with the International Players, but also to understand radio communications, letters and notes written in English. On the other hand, all other players will play characters completely ignorant of any foreign language: in game they won't understand whoever talks to them in English, nor any written text. General info about the larp You can find all you need to know on the International Home Page for the larp.

Here demonstrated by Guto Owen from Ynni Glan and Ulrich Bünger, H2moves. The "UK leg" of the H2moves Scandinavia European Hydrogen Road Tour kicked off in Cardiff, the capital of Wales on the 3rd of October. Carwyn Jones, the First Minister of Wales greeted the congregation with a hearty welcome after he had thoroughly inspected the seven fuel cell vehicles in front of Wales Millennium Centre, the home of the conference. He communicated his positive view of the fuel cell technology to not only clear the air in Cardiff and the rest of Wales, but also to foster additional value creation in the local automobile industry, employing 18,000 in Cardiff and vicinity. Professor Garel Rhys, a veteran of UK and international automobile industry, eloquently pointed at the new view necessary to accelerate the impact fuel cell vehicles could have for Wales, i.e. by having a closer look at the used car markets and how hybrid vehicles were introduced into the market. The FCH JU representative charted out the tools to apply for European funds and FCH JU's strong interest in the European regions by partnering with HyER, the Hydrogen and Electric Regions Initiative. A last call in January 2013 will be open as a new opportunity to also support new demonstration activities e.g. in Wales. Graham Cooley of ITM in his presentation put specific weight on the issue of economic synergies by using hydrogen as transport fuel and e.g. by using it in power-to-gas schemes as energy storage medium at large scale to support the electricity sector in solving its challenges to integrate fluctuating renewable energies into UK's electricity grid. Jon Maddy from the University of Glamorgan gave a presentation on the University's Hydrogen Centre near Swansea and its specialised role in the research and development of the biological production of hydrogen. He also explained the University's role in co-ordinating Welsh R&D activities and their partnerships with other UK institutions. Willie Hall from Johnson Matthey introduced the "Down to Zero" Transport Procurement Compact which is a collaborative project between leading UK companies, organisations and Government to stimulate markets for low-carbon or zero carbon goods. The members of the Compact could be a key early market for FCEVs. In the consecutive panel discussion, the regional representatives flagged their strong interest to introduce delivery vans and taxis as they do specifically operate in inner cities and as captive vehicles are typically refuelled by fleet refuelling stations, hence at high utilization. The automobile industry representatives unanimously communicated their commercialization message starting with 2015. As (a) the economic aspect is a much more important issue in the delivery van market and (b) the car and delivery van sectors are typically separate units within the companies the automobile industry representatives dampened too much excitement that this specific sector will kick-off sooner than the ordinary car sector. Automobile industry has studied the markets and has come to the conclusion that in order to produce of several ten thousand units as soon as possible to reach the economic mass production threshold, large sedan cars will be in focus during the transition period. The public was offered to testdrive the seven fuel cell vehicles, starting in front of Wales Millennium Centre, a fresh breeze and intermittent heavy rainshowers accompanying the event. A further positive feature of the day was a visit by a group of enthusiastic schoolchildren (ages 14 & 15) from Ysgol Plasmawr (a school in Cardiff) to support their knowledge and understanding of science, technology and green motoring. The event attracted Welsh press and TV interest, with reports on English and Welsh language news bulletins. A TV production company also filmed the event as part of a documentary on fuel cells which they are preparing. After leaving Cardiff to Bristol the same evening, the watches went off early for the EU Road Tour team the next morning. A testdrive was organised for a small group of invited guests of a breakfast seminar. The event started at 7:15am and was well attended despite the very early start. Next to a presentation of the H2mS project and Road Tour, the Cabinet Member from the local Bristol City Council with responsibilities for the environment, Councillor Neil Harrison, welcomed the EU Road Tour team and reported on the interest of Bristol to become a node in the hydrogen corridor from Swansea to London. A first project, then presented by Jas Singh as project coordinator, showed the demonstration of a small hydrogen fuel cell operated passenger ferry, to showcase Bristol's history as marine technology center willing to prepare for new industry applications in this field. As Bristol is home of BAE and as such is the center of the UK defense and aircraft industry, other markets for fuel cells could also develop in this field. Emma Guthrie rounded up that picture and presented Air Product's commitment to develop a hydrogen production and refueling infrastructure in the UK, starting along this highly visible corridor. Until now several fuelling stations exist starting in Wales and ending in London with the new fuelling stations at Millbrooks Proving Grounds and at Heathrow Airport to supply the five London Taxis.

LAHORE - Lahore High Court Chief Justice Khawaja Muhammad Sharif during proceedings under suo moto jurisdiction on Thursday issued notice to four accused of committing robbery at a jewelry shop to know why should not the bail granted to them earlier by the trial court be cancelled. The court also directed the superintendent of the police concerned to ensure production of the accused namely Qasim Khan, Fakhar Hayat, Shahbaz and Gohar Ali before the court on the next date of hearing, July 8 next. As per background of the matter, the said accused and another Sayyar Khan were tried for looting Rs 27.5 lakh and ornaments from a shop in the jurisdiction of Qilla Gujjar Singh police on October 3 last. The charges were sent for trial. Sayyar Khan later on got bail by the trial court after he was pardoned by the complainant. However, the rest four were also granted bail by the court on the plea that they all faced the same case in the same nature so law of consistency applied to them all. The chief justice, however, from perusal of the record found that Khan case was distinguished from others in as much as the complainant had made a confessional statement only in his favour. The court also found from the record that all accused were identified in the parade and recoveries were made from them. Noting that the alleged offence fell in the prohibitory clause, the court in exercise of suo moto authority, issued notice to the said four asking them to show cause why not the bail granted to them by the trial court be recalled. The Punjab additional advocate general has also been called for assistance on the next date of hearing.

10 Ways Saint Faustina Can Improve Your Spiritual Life Chloe Langr April 28, 2019 0 0 0 views Do you wish you knew more about the story and spirituality of Saint Faustina? Maybe you find yourself drawn to the message of Divine Mercy, but don't know where to start when it comes to learning about this Catholic devotion. Susan Tassone has the perfect book for you. The Catholic author spent time praying with Faustina so that you can draw closer to her, too. "I'm so pleased and grateful that the result is a book that doesn't just have 'a little something for everybody.' It has a lot of something for all of us, no matter how familiar—or unfamiliar— we are with the Diary of this great mystic and visionary," Susan Tassone explains in the introduction to her latest book, Day by Day With Saint Faustina. You can pick up a copy of Day by Day With Saint Faustina at your local Catholic bookstore or online through Sophia Institute Press. But before you grab a copy and begin your own retreat, journey, and pilgrimage, here are a few ways that praying with Faustina will impact and improve your interior life. 1. Grow closer to Christ in the Eucharist Receiving Jesus in the Eucharist was incredibly important to Faustina's interior life, and she can help you develop a deeper love for Christ in the Eucharist, too. "The most solemn moment of my life is the moment when I receive Holy Communion," she wrote in her diary. 2. Develop a deeper daily prayer life "Jesus gave me to understand how a soul should be faithful to prayer despite torments, dryness, and temptations, because often times the realization of God's great plans depend mainly on such prayer," Faustina penned in her the pages of her diary. "If we do not persevere in such prayer, we frustrate what the Lord wanted to do through us or within us." 3. Get along better with others (including those closest to you!) "Jesus, help me to go through life doing good to everyone," Faustina wrote in her diary. Often, those who we love the most are also the people who get on our nerves the most. But Faustina prayed for everyone (the living and the dead!), and we can learn to do the same. 4. Learn the secrets of sanctity What does Faustina's secret to sanctity look like? Small, daily actions. "I strive for the greatest perfection possible in order to be useful to the Church," she wrote. "I have come to understand how great an influence I have on other souls, not by heroic deeds, as these are striking in themselves, but by small actions like a movement of the hand, a look, and many other things too numerous to mention, which have an effect on and reflect in the souls of others." 5. Trust in God and ask for his help "Oh, how good it is to call on Jesus for help during a conversation. Oh, how good it is, during a moment of peace, to beg for actual graces. I fear most of all this sort of confidential conversation; there is need of much divine light at times like this, in order to speak with profit, both for the other person's soul, and for one's own as well. God, however, comes to our aid; but we have to ask him for it," Faustina wrote. 6. Find the Lord in times of darkness "O humdrum days, filled with darkness, I look upon you with a solemn and festive eye," Faustina wrote in her diary. "How great and solemn is the time that gives us the chance to gather merits for eternal heaven! I understand how the saints made use of it." 7. Love the Blessed Mother even more "I desire, my dearly beloved daughter, that you practice the three virtues that are dearest to me and most pleasing to God. The first is humility, humility and once again humility; the second virtue, purity; the third virtue, love of God. As my daughter, you must especially radiate with these virtues," Our Lady said when she appeared to Faustina. Faustina responded to the call of Our Lady, and she can help you respond to the Blessed Mother, too. "My heart became so wonderfully attracted to these virtues; and I practiced them faithfully. They are as though engraved on my heart," she wrote in her diary. 8. Use your suffering to help others "True love is measured by the thermometer of suffering," the saint wrote in her diary. "Jesus, I thank you for the little daily crosses. . . for poor health and loss of strength, for self denial, for our dying to myself, for lack of recognition in everything, for the upsetting of all my plans. Thank you, Jesus, for interior sufferings, for dryness of spirit, for terrors, fears and incertitude, for the darkness and the deeper interior night." Faustina recognized that every suffering, even small daily inconveniences, provided opportunities to unite herself with Christ's passion and death. 9. Take advantage of the spiritual powerhouse that is the Sacrament of Reconciliation Confession is an incredible place to encounter the mercy of Christ. Faustina shared an examination of conscience that Jesus spoke with her about during their conversations. "My daughter, in this meditation, consider the love of neighbors," Christ said. "Is your love for your neighbor guided by my love? Do you pray for your enemies? Do you wish well to those who have, in one way or another, caused you sorrow or offended you? Know that whatever good you do to any soul, I accept it as if you had done it to me." 10. Become a person of mercy Faustina regularly asked the Lord to help her grow in her ability to show mercy to others. "O my Jesus, teach me to open the bosom of mercy and love to everyone who asks for it," she wrote in her diary. "Jesus, my commander, teach me so that all my prayers and deeds may bear the seal of your mercy." Make sure to get a copy of Day by Day With Saint Faustina at your local Catholic bookstore or online through Sophia Institute Press. Then get ready for how Faustina's spirituality will impact your own interior life! Tags Book Review Divine Mercy Saint Faustina Sophia Institute Press Chloe Langr 1 day ago

What could be better than a luxuriously quilted, soft pillow to lay your head on at night? A luxuriously soft pillow encased in an equally plush pillowcase, that's what. So why not slip your pocket pillow into something equally comfortable, with this stunning set from Boo Living? Expertly crafted from 60% bamboo and 40% cotton fibre, the yarn used in this pillowcase and pillow exterior is extracted and twisted mechanically without the use of any harmful chemicals. In addition, each pocket is filled with 100% bamboo fibre, so it gently caresses even the most sensitive of skin. This seamless set promotes the most satisfying of sleeps. Innovatively designed to carry numerous health benefits, as well as be eco-friendly and provide optimum comfort, the Boo Living Bamboo Pillowcase and Pocket Pillow is the ideal choice for everyone. However, its silky finish is especially beneficial for those that suffer with skin disorders such as dermatitis and eczema or allergy prone skin. Woven into a 300 thread count, it promises to be gentle with you and will even help you wave goodbye to nuisance neck pain. Plus, not only is your new bamboo bedding breathable, it will help you to breathe easy too, putting a stop to even to softest of snoring. No you're not dreaming. At least not yet, anyway! Sometimes waking up in the morning can be a slow process. It's true that we're all guilty of hitting snooze on that alarm clock at least once. Often the obligatory stretch and eye rub will do little to affect any sort of movement. However, if you're one of the many of us that just can't shake that groggy feeling, lack concentration or find it difficult to actually stop rubbing your eyes upon waking up, there could be a chance that you, like 12 million others in the UK, have an allergy to dust mites. They may be small, but the affect that they can have on our health should never be underestimated. Often a dust mite allergy will present itself as symptoms similar to hay fever, including sneezing, a runny nose and eye irritation. Allergy UK refers to this as "home fever". But you have nothing to worry about, right? After all, your house is clean. Well, you may be surprised to learn that a number of substances contained within dust cannot be removed by standard cleaning products. In addition, during your typical cleaning regime, dust can be propelled into the air, only to re-settle on other surfaces or cling to fabrics. As little as 1 gram of dust can house up to 19,000 dust mites and in a study by Allergy UK, it was found that almost 60% of people with allergies suffered because of these creepy crawlies . The average adult sheds approximately 1.5 grams per day; enough to sustain one million of the tiny creatures. For this very reason, people with skin disorders such as eczema are likely to have more of them. Bamboo does not provide an accommodating environment for dust mites to reside. In fact, they are naturally repelled by it. So, something as simple as changing your bedding could ensure that you wake up feeling refreshed each and every morning, as well as stop you from feeling generally unwell. When it comes to causing you distress, dust mites can dream on! It's the way it makes you feel! Not just in terms of how that luxuriously soft fabric caresses your skin and delivers the most incredible night's sleep you've ever had. Bamboo is eco-friendly too, so you can take pride in the fact that you are doing your bit for the environment. Bamboo requires no chemicals and very little water to grow. It also absorbs more carbon dioxide from the air and releases more oxygen into the environment than cotton does, which requires extensive irrigation and chemical spraying. Additionally, bamboo is sustainable, growing and replenishing itself at an unbelievable rate. Bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-dust mite and anti-allergy. It is also thermo-regulating to ensure that you are kept warm in the winter and cool during those hot summer months. Moisture wicking, it will pull sweat away from the body to the exterior of the fabric in seconds, ensuring the most comfortable night's sleep possible. The lack of chemicals and treatments required to produce bamboo fabric means that it doesn't have the same health concerns as cotton. The harmful chemicals used in the growth and treatment of cotton could be being absorbed by our skin each and every night whilst we sleep. So you can sleep easy with bamboo bedding! Pillowcase: 46 cm x 73 cm x 11 cm. Pillow: 45 cm x 73 cm x 10 cm. To see the full Boo Living bamboo bedding range, click on the brand below.

Glenwood's Lady Gators played two contests this past week before taking off for the spring break in school and for the first time in six years of competition, the games were two consecutive ties. The first game was an important game on March 12 at home as the Lady Gators faced the only team to give them a loss this season, Ezekiel, and battled them to a 1-1 tie. Both teams scored in the second half. Jordyn Wheeler got the goal for Glenwood, and keeper Taylor Johnson was able to save six shots on the day. The second tie was on the road against Autauga Academy, also by the same 1-1 score. Again Wheeler had the goal for the Lady Gators, and Sydney Norris got the assist. Taylor Johnson was able to make four saves for Glenwood. The Lady Gators, 5-1-2, do not play again until March 23, when they will meet Northside Methodist before playing a key game against rival Lee-Scott on March 26 in an important area contest.

Letter to Acting Minister Tudge: These people have suffered enough. Dear Acting Minister Tudge, Sunday 19th July marked the seventh anniversary of the Rudd government's announcement that people arriving in Australian waters seeking asylum would be detained in offshore detention centres and would never be allowed to settle in Australia. Seven years on, twelve men have died in offshore detention, many hundreds have suffered both physical and mental torment, families have been separated and lives have been ruined. To date, the cost of this cruel policy is approaching a staggering $8 billion. There are still some 400 refugees and asylum seekers trapped on Nauru and in PNG. Many hundreds more are held in detention in Australia. Some 120 people are stuck in hotels in Brisbane and Melbourne, having been transferred to Australia for urgent medical treatment, which many of them are yet to receive. It is clear that your government has completely abrogated its responsibilities to fulfil its obligations under the United Nations Refugee Convention. These asylum seekers have committed no crime, and yet, unlike convicted criminals, they have no release date. Why does your government continue to inflict such terrible punishment on these people? You cannot possibly argue that the policy serves as a deterrent to other would-be asylum seekers, given that our maritime borders are carefully patrolled by the Australian navy, effectively preventing people arriving by boat. Why does the government continue to spend enormous amounts of taxpayers' money on a policy that is irrelevant, cruel, immoral and unlawful? Our reputation as a good global actor has been steadily eroded sine the "Stop the Boats" sloganeering of the Abbott era. It is surely time for the government to adopt a more mature and humane approach to the issue. This shameful chapter in our history could be brought to an end within months, if the government had a moral compass and the political will. It is surely time to accept the offer of the New Zealand government to resettle up to 150 refugees annually, to resettle those that remain offshore in Australia and to release into the community the many hundreds of asylum seekers and refugees currently languishing in APODs and detention centres in Australia. These people have suffered enough. It's time for you to act! M.

Maths boring? Never! Here are some books and movies that illustrate the dramatic (and even comic) potential of a story that revolves around mathematics and computing - and the profound influence some clever, if sometimes eccentric, people have had on modern life. Hidden Figures – A wonderful film about three mathematicians – who happen to be black and female - working at NASA in the early 60s at the dawn of the digital computing age. Watch it and reflect on how much the world has changed. The movie was inspired by a book by Margot Lee Shetterly, that I have just read on Randy Bozarth's recommendation. Clearly the movie has taken some dramatic license and condensed the time frame, emphasizing the space race, rather than the years of aeronautical research supported by human computers that preceeded it. The book also gives you much more of the political and social context. The movie is still wonderful. The Man Who Knew Infinity (2015) – biopic of self-taught Indian mathematician Ramanujan who went to Cambridge University in the 1910's. I haven't seen this yet, but David Alexander says its very good. Based on the book of the same title by Robert Kanigel. The Imitation Game (2014) – The story of Alan Turing and his colleagues who famously cracked the Enigma code, working in top secret in WWII. A Beautiful Mind (2001) –John Forbes Nash Jr won a Nobel prize in economics for his work on game theory, despite suffering from mental illness much of his adult life. Read the source book by Silvia Nasar if you want the unvarnished version. Moneyball (2011) - How do you pick the perfect baseball team? I know of at least two GRTMPS users trying to write models to choose their fantasy football team and it may well have been inspired by seeing this. I suspect they should read the book by Michael Lewis as I don't remember their being much detail on the method in the film. The Dish (2000) - A comedy based on the true story of the unexpected contribution of a small town in Australia to the success of the Apollo Moon landing. The Man Who Loved Only Numbers by Paul Hoffman (1998) - a biography of the itinerate mathematician Paul Erdos (1913-1996) who was probably the most prolific collaborator of all time. Anyone who published a paper with him, has an "Erdos Number" of 1 – if you published with that person, your "Erdos Number" is 2, and so forth. The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2007) - economics and finance, rather than engineering - recommended to me by Gordon Perrera. I read it a couple of years ago and will never look at the stock market the same way again. Longitude by Dava Sobel – the story of how an 18th clock maker named John Harrison solved the rather vital navigational problem of calculating your position at sea. A Mathematician's Apology by G. H. Hardy - Martin Fieldhouse was reminded of reading this book as a student in the 1970's, on seeing that there is a film about Ramanujan, as Hardy was Ramanujan's supervisor. This auto-biographical and philisophical essay was published in 1940 when Hardy was near the end of his career, but is still in print - there is even a study guide. Tubes: Behind the Scenes at the Internet by Andrew Blum - with WiFi it's easy to get the impression that the internet is some sort of disembodied all-pervasive ether - but it of course is firmly grounded in physical infrastructure. The author guides you through his quest to find the "real" internet. This one is not really either dramatic or comic - but it IS very interesting, if you like knowing how things work. The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin - Eric Jwo recommends this "science-fiction Chinese novel that has a good translation in English and covers many mathematical and computational concepts such as the titular three body problem". First of a three-parter and you can "read for free" if you have Kindle Unlimited. The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks: Space-opera style sci-fi about the pursuit of a solution to a complex equation. Pyramids by Terry Pratchett. The world is a disc balanced on the backs of four elephants who stand on the turtle Great A'Tuin and the greatest mathematician alive is……… not what you would expect. LOL stuff. Have I missed something good? Recommendations for further reading / watching very welcome.

While it is not our policy to care for sick children, who should be at home until they are well enough to return to the setting, we will agree to administer medication as part of maintaining their health and well-being or when they are recovering from an illness. We ensure that where medicines are necessary to maintain health of the child, they are given correctly and in accordance with legal requirements. In many cases, it is possible for children's GPs to prescribe medicine that can be taken at home in the morning and evening. As far as possible, administering medicines will only be done where it would be detrimental to the child's health if not given in the setting. If a child has not had a medication before, especially a baby/child under two, it is advised that the parent keeps the child at home for the first 48 hours to ensure there are no adverse effects, as well as to give time for the medication to take effect. Our staff are responsible for the correct administration of medication to children for whom they are the key person. This includes ensuring that parent consent forms have been completed, that medicines are stored correctly and that records are kept according to procedures. In the absence of the key person, the nursery supervisor manager is responsible for the overseeing of administering medication. We only usually administer medication when it has been prescribed for a child by a doctor (or other medically qualified person). It must be in-date and prescribed for the current condition. Children's prescribed medicines are stored in their original containers, are clearly labelled and are inaccessible to the children. On receiving the medication, the nursery supervisor checks that it is in date and prescribed specifically for the current condition. the signature of the parent, their printed name and the date. We use the Pre-school Learning Alliance Medication Administration Record book for recording the administration of medicine and comply with the detailed procedures set out in that publication. If the administration of prescribed medication requires medical knowledge, we will obtain individual training by a health professional. We monitor the medication record book to look at the frequency of medication given in the setting. For example, a high incidence of antibiotics being prescribed for a number of children at similar times may indicate a need for better infection control. We will only administer medicines such as 'Calpol' if a child develops a high temperature during the course a nursery session, particularly with younger children where there may be a risk of febrile convulsions. If a child becomes unwell during the session, the manager will contact the parent/carers to collect their child – at this time parent/carer's consent verbal/email/text will be sought before any such medicine is given. The parent will sign the administration of medicine book when they collect their child. We do not administer medicines such as 'Calpol', unless prescribed by a doctor, under any other circumstances. The nursery supervisor is responsible for ensuring medicine is handed back at the end of the day to the parent. For some conditions, medication may be kept in the setting to be administered on a regular or as-and-when- required basis. The nursery supervisor is to check that any medication held in the setting, is in date and return any out-of-date medication back to the parent. Medicines prescribed for temporary medical conditions are kept in the Office in a plastic storage tub, or fridge in the kitchen, if they need to be kept cool. ALL medicines should be clearly named. Medication kept in the setting, for those children who have a pre existing known condition (such as Periton/inhalers) will be clearly named and stored in a plastic container in the office. The Supervisor should inform ALL staff of the need for a child to take medicine. However, it will be the Supervisor who is responsible for ensuring that prescribed medicine is stored correctly, administered as per instruction and that the medication record book is completed and signed by the parent at the end of the session. We carry out a risk assessment for each child with a long term medical condition that requires on-going medication. This is the responsibility of our Nursery Supervisor alongside the key person. Other medical or social care personnel may need to be involved in the risk assessment. An individual health plan for the child is drawn up with the parent; outlining the key person's role and what information must be shared with other adults who care for the child. The individual health plan should include the measures to be taken in an emergency. We review the individual health plan every six months, or more frequently if necessary. This includes reviewing the medication, e.g. changes to the medication or the dosage, any side effects noted etc. Parents receive a copy of the individual health plan and each contributor, including the parent, signs it. If children are going on outings, the key person for the child will accompany the children with a risk assessment, or another member of staff who is fully informed about the child's needs and/or medication. This procedure should be read alongside the outings procedure.

Subway Knitter: New Year's Eve! As the title of yesterday's post implies, I was down visiting Kate over Christmas. I'll tell you about it today--New Year's Eve. Oh yeah, her parents and my parents were there too, but really, it was all about Kate. Why does this picture make me think that in her own two-year-old way Kate was thinking "Sheesh! Those paparazzi!"? Here she is enjoying another round of that classic game "Let's Shake Kate's Chair." I expect a busy 2009 ahead. Happy New Year, everyone! she's gotten so big! (and of course, adorable) Happy new year! gosh she's cute! how did she get so big so fast! Your Kate is an absolute doll. She looks like Cindy-Lou Who! Happy New Year to you as well!

A federal criminal case alleges that a former Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Corp. employee shut down Oregon's Medicaid information systems for several hours after he was laid off. Some security experts caution organizations to take steps to minimize risks from workers who are laid off or fired. Upscale supermarket chain Whole Foods Market says it's investigating a payment card breach affecting dozens of taprooms and an unspecific number of restaurants located inside its stores. But it says no point-of-sale systems at checkout lanes were compromised. A zero-day vulnerability in Apple's built-in password manager can be exploited, allowing attackers to steal all stored credentials in clear-text format, a security researcher warns.

New York state's financial regulator has reportedly subpoenaed Equifax - in the wake of it suffering a breach affecting 143 million U.S. consumers - seeking extensive documentation, including when and how the credit-reporting agency discovered the breach and responded. It's critical for entities to remember that major infrastructure cloud services providers have a very limited responsibility for their customers' data security, says Kevin Flynn of Skybox Security. Fast-food chain Sonic Drive-In is investigating a potential breach involving customers' payment card data. Its alert follows a large, potentially related batch of stolen card data appearing for sale on a cybercrime "carder" marketplace called "Joker's Stash." Organizations need to develop "a friendly business relationship" with law enforcement so they can share information about a data breach to help with the investigation, says Luis Cerritos of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It's the age of "open banking," and that means changes for banking institutions and their customers - as well as for the fraudsters. Shaked Vax of IBM Security Trusteer talks about new vulnerabilities and anti-fraud strategies. Publicly traded companies should do a better job of disclosing cyber risks they face in their filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton says. Richard Smith has exited the Equifax building. Following in the footsteps of the CIO and CSO, Richard Smith - Equifax's embattled CEO and board chairman - has "retired" following the company suffering a massive breach that has left millions of Americans at risk of identity theft. The chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Jay Clayton, promised the Senate banking committee Tuesday that his agency is pursuing numerous cybersecurity improvements in the wake of a May 2016 breach.

Having an accordion-playing father I was exposed to the accordion at a young age not only when my father sometimes got his accordion out to practise or when his musician friends came round for a jam. He was a keen amateur and had circumstances been different I'm sure he would have loved to have been a professional accordionist. When our old Portadyne Radiogram finally gave up the ghost my father treated the family to a new Ferguson Stereogram, with stand alone speakers!! It would remain under dust covers on top of a cupboard but came out at Christmas time and Easter where we would listen to his record collection which featured accordionists like Toralf Tollefsen, Jo Basile, Jo Privat, Emile Prud'homme, Pino Piacentino, Carlo Venturi, Barimar, Nando Monica, Wolmer Beltrami and Gorni Kramer and others. One of the most impressive was an accordionist who went by the name of Gigi Stok. Gigi Stok was born Luigi Stocchi in Bianconese Parma, Italy in 1920. He studied the accordion under the guidance of Maestro Marmiroli, who together with Savi were amongst the best accordionists of their era. At the age of 13 he made his public debut together with his father, a singing storyteller, and here started his road to fame. He won the Concorso Nazionale di Fisarmonica in Macerata equal first place with Riccardo Ducci. In 1938 Stok joined the Tamani Orchestra a famous ensemble of its day. After the interruption of the second World War, during which, he was dispatched to the artistic division after a colonel heard him play The Thieving Magpie on the accordion, Stok formed his own Ensemble and began to include some of his own compositions in the orchestra's repertoire. After playing at the Casino in Parma he became a regular feature at the Giardino D'Inverno (Winter Garden) in Parma's Ducale Park where he played three nights a week. He also played at La Bussola, the famous seaside venue in Viareggio where he met a black Cuban singer Marino Barreto who he then employed as a singer in his own Ensemble at the Giardino D'Inverno. In 1950s Parma, where he would have found it difficult to find a hotel that would give him bed and board. Nevertheless prejudices were soon defeated by this singer's wonderful voice. After a brief success with Stok's band, Barreto took off on an even more successful solo career taking half of Stok' s band with him. Within a fortnight the not-to-be-defeated Stok had formed another band with which he had continued success. He, along with a handful of accordionists of his generation, were the accordionists that introduced the element of virtuosity into dance music just as was commonly seen in the American swing bands of the same era where artists such as Harry James on Trumpet, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman on Clarinet, Lionel Hampton on Vibraphone, all did a similar thing in the 1940s. At the end of the 1940's, after an audition where he played one of his own compositions namely Elettrico, His Masters Voice/EMI in Milan La Voce Del Padrone, realising his virtuosity offered him a recording contract, a relationship which was to last until the 1970's. His successful recording career still required him to promote himself by a tiring touring schedule. In 1966 he was asked to compose a piece for a Film that was to star the actor Ugo Tognazzi, well-known in Italy if not so much abroad. The film was L'Immorale and the piece was Vecchi Ricordi. Although ballroom dancing went out of fashion in the 1960's, Gigi Stok did not, and remained popular especially amongst Italians from his region living outside Italy. In the brief period when the accordion would get booed off the stage he played bass in the band and started arranging light classical music for the accordion ready for it's anticipated comeback. By the late seventies Gigi Stok decided to take things a little easier and launched a band called I Cadetti di Gigi Stok where he would make the odd guest appearance but the accordion playing was left largely to Corrado Medioli. In respect of his technical perfection and contribution to Italian accordion music of the popular and ballroom genre, he was awarded the Life Achievement Award at the London Accordion Festival 2001. He was unfortunately unable to attend due to his already advancing illness but Corrado Medioli, who brought a letter of thanks from his wife Carolina, accepted the award on his behalf. I first met him in 1982 in a village in the mountains called Cassio where he spent his summers and annually organised a local accordion festival. He had already retired from playing live by then but offered me, then aged only sixteen, words of encouragement in my work with my then fledgling band. I'm pleased to say that he lived up to the expectations as a person one has when one imagines what a childhood hero would be like. He was avery nice, polite man who made me feel like he really was interested in what I had to say. I spoke to him in the 1990s on the telephone and he recounted many interesting stories about his career. During this conversation I realised that his legendary reputation for technical excellence was not a myth. He told me that he was never really happy with those early recordings for His Master's Voice because more often than not he only got to do one take and if he'd made a slight slip the producer would argue that it didn't matter because the energy was right. Being young and new to the game he didn't want to argue so many years later in the 1970s and 80s he re-recorded many of those early tracks to a standard that was to his satisfaction. I have to say that anyone, no matter how musical, would be hard pressed to find the slip-ups that bothered him so much in those early recordings. Although his later recordings are beautifully played and technically perfect I have to say that those early recordings do have that certain energy and magic that the producer liked so much. The line-up usually consists of Stok on accordion, accompanied by an acoustic guitarist and a Double Bassist joined by a pianist for the Tangos. The recordings breathe, like a live recording of a trio or a quartet should and so the ensemble playing is more interesting musically than the later "technically perfect" recordings which usually involve electric guitar, electric bass and sometimes keyboard and sax and are probably multi-tracked. His Paganini's Moto Perpetuo is impressive although for someone whose left-hand technique was so good, his decision to record it with electric bass and guitar might seem a little strange. Triumphal March from Aida (Verdi), Va Pensiero from Nabucco (Verdi), Radetzky March (J.Strauss) La Campanella (Paganini) amongst others were recorded in the same way. One can only imagine that a certain amount of popularisation was required in order to cater for his audiences in the same way Hooked on Classics brought classical music themes with a disco beat to the masses in the 1980s. His audiences would probably have known the accordion only as a vehicle for dance music or folk and perhaps were not yet ready for the more purist approach of his contemporary Gervasio Marcosignori. I was very pleased to be able to arrange a special medley of his hits entitled Gigi Stok Fantasia for performance with the BBC Concert Orchestra at the same festival and together with Mauro Carra and Corrado Medioli had great fun playing it to an enthusiastic auditorium. It consisted of some of his more famous international successes, along with one or two of his lesser-known works. Vecchi Ricordi, Elettrico, Tango Gagliardo, Penombra ,L' Indiavolata, L'Italiano a Parigi, Signora Fisarmonica, Il Silenzio Fuori Ordinanza and Brioso. The accordion has moved on considerably in the last fifty years. Accordionists are playing music never before imagined so it is easy to scoff today at musicians that were pioneers in their day because their field was perhaps one that has always been associated with the accordion. The "Accordion Virtuoso", who plays Monti's Czardas and Dizzy fingers may have become a clichè today but play these pieces on a pre-war instrument and he can be likened to some of the young eastern- european players often seen heroically competing in festivals all over Europe ten years ago on accordions held together with gaffer tape. Add to this the amount of music that the average European of that era was exposed to, owning a radio if lucky, not to mention a TV and a different picture emerges. Gigi Stok sold records all over the world. Still today I find his LPs cropping up on line from far flung places and especially from the United States. Gigi Stok died at the end of February 2003 after a 3-year battle against Alzheimers. He was buried on the 2nd of March in the village of his birth, Bianconese in the province of Parma where he had begun his career accompanying his father. Gigi Stok and his peers made young players of his generation and later my own generation aspire to playing pieces where a good technique rendered a piece exciting and was a sign of bravura. His left-hand semi-quaver runs in fast waltz tempo made many players realise that the left-hand keyboard was for more than just vamping along. Gigi Stok limited himself to playing the dance music he knew best but nevertheless raised the profile of the accordion and it's technical possibilities within that genre. I fully acknowledge and appreciate the influence his music had on me as an enthusiastic teenager wishing to attain the clarity and crispness of this man's dazzling technique. He has been missed by many but I for one shall always keep a handful of his pieces well practised and regularly performed for a willing audience.

At a time when we need to urgently demonstrate how our faith translates into caring for God's earth, our Engagement Director, Rich Bee encourages us to look at Christmas from a different perspective and offers the challenge of a cleaner, greener Christmas. Does Christmas get earlier every year? Or do I just get slightly older and slightly grumpier? As I cycled home a few weeks ago in mid-November, I saw the Christmas lights going up in Kington-upon-Thames and sighed inwardly. The Christmas markets are now getting into their stride and the season of wanton consumerist excess is on us. But wait! Isn't this what Christmas is? A chance to show love to friends and family by giving thoughtful presents? I'd like to suggest that the answer is more nuanced. As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, a refugee born in scandal with few possessions, my thoughts turn to the world today. A world where increasing numbers of people will become refugees over the next few years as a result of a warming climate. A world where people lose their possessions to extreme weather events on a growing scale. A world where the current scandal is that we are simply not doing enough to preserve the fabric that sustains life on our planet. Might I be bold enough to suggest that, in this context, there is a better way of celebrating the coming of Jesus than by buying more plastic toys? This shouldn't mean that we lose our sense of generosity—quite the opposite, in fact! Let's encourage each other to pay particular attention to giving rather than receiving this Christmas. Let's give home-made presents. Let's give away the money we don't need to support organisations and causes that make the world a better place. Let's give our time to those who might be lonely this Christmas. Let's provide appropriate food in our gardens for the wildlife that struggles through the winter. Let's spend a little bit more on supplies for Christmas to ensure that the food we share has been grown responsibly. Let's give back to God's earth, our shared home, and the creatures that share it with us. In all the doom-laden news of climate change, let's remember that we serve a God of miracles who asks only that we follow him on the journey and in turn multiplies our efforts.

Bradford-based haulier Brian R. Patefield Ltd has renewed a third of its fleet after taking delivery of nine Euro VI Stralis Hi-Way 6x2 (AS440S46TXP) tractor units. The Stralis tractors are the first new vehicles taken on by the company, which has traditionally only purchased second-hand trucks. Delivered by dealer Northern Commercials, the new vehicles will replace older Renault and Iveco tractor units. The business, which has been established for more than 40 years, maintains a fleet of 24 vehicles. Key to taking delivery of new trucks was a competitive trial which saw a Euro VI Stralis demonstrator impress alongside competitor vehicles in its class, receiving extremely positive feedback from the company's drivers. The drivers praised it for the overall comfort and amount of space available inside the long-distance Hi-Way cab. Iveco has ensured that the cab of its flagship vehicle is centred around the driver, with class-leading ergonomics, comfort and safety; providing an environment which maximises productivity on every job. However, as with the majority of businesses, the final decision was taken on the basis of how the Stralis could reduce total cost of ownership compared with the older vehicles the customer was operating, and the best of the rest from the other demonstrator models trialled. Key to the Stralis efficiency is Iveco's HI-SCR system, which has been used to meet the latest emissions standard without the need for exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). This helps to deliver weight reduction and optimised fuel performance, whilst the simplicity of the SCR-only approach means long service intervals for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) of up to 600,000km. The Stralis tractors will form part of the Brian R. Patefield Ltd general fleet, undertaking distribution work throughout Yorkshire and the rest of the UK. They are expected to be in service for five years and will travel up to 129,000 kilometres a year. Each of the Stralis tractor units are powered by a Euro VI Cursor 11 engine which can produce up to 460 hp between 1,500 and 1,900 rev/min and 2,150 Nm of torque between 925 and 1,500 rev/min. They also feature a new Super Engine Brake which uses an exhaust throttle to improve the performance of an engine by up to 30 per cent compared to the previous generation of Iveco engines.

Los Angeles – Do You Like Theatre or Not? This week, thousands of this country's theater industry professionals will embark on the city of Los Angeles for the 50th annual Theater Communications Group conference. Theater Communications Group, commonly referred to as TCG, is an organization that represents and advocates for nonprofit theaters in the United States. One issue being brought up at this conference (and something thought about daily by local theaters) is whether Los Angeles is a theater town, and if not, how do we make it one. Unlike other major cities in the country that can claim with confidence that they are "theater towns" – New York, Chicago and San Francisco – Los Angeles has one major obstacle that those other cities don't. That obstacle is none other than the television and film industry. There is no denying that this detracts many people from much of the amazing theater productions occurring nightly in the Los Angeles area. This issue has never been a question of whether good theater was being made in this city. Many productions that are smash hits on Broadway were originally produced in Los Angeles, two examples being the now classic Angels in America and the current Broadway hit musical Sister Act. The problems involve things that the local theater community has no control over. For one, there is no central area full of theaters like those that call Broadway home. Theaters are instead spread out from International City Theatre in Long Beach to the Mark Taper Forum in downtown Los Angeles to the Geffen in West Los Angeles. Another issue is that many newspapers don't cover theater like they used to in the past, making it extremely difficult to spread the word about a show. This area certainly isn't short on talent. There must be a reason why millions of classically trained actors, writers, designers and directors move here to work on our stages. There are dozens of theater companies doing innovative and original work on a nightly basis. ICT ended its 2010 season with a world premiere musical about Greta Garbo called When Garbo Talks! The quality of the work isn't an issue here, and there certainly are a significant number of theater enthusiasts that live here. So what do you think? Is Los Angeles a "theater town?" If it isn't yet, do you think it can be? Perhaps the best question is whether residents of the greater Los Angeles area want its city to be a "theater town" or not. We sure hope so.

Global Corporations: Some of the biggest names in global commerce use Milltown House as a base for team-building exercises, corporate retreats and week-long strategy 'think-ins'. Confidentiality and security of the highest nature is assured at our elegant property.

The case for Islam is both properly basic (providing direct, non-inferential but rational warrant for belief) as well as inductive. How persuasive the case for Islam of course depends in part on the prior assumptions a person has, which may be justified or unjustified, rational or irrational. For example, I think (and the Qur'an would regard) the belief that the contingent universe lacks a necessary cause, that this fine-tuned universe was not designed, or that sentient life was created by wholly non-rational forces as objectively irrational beliefs—even if a very large number of extremely intelligent people whom I love and admire as my brothers in humanity hold these views because of their pre-existing (and I think unjustified) philosophical commitments to naturalism. Anyways I think the inductive case for Islam should be extremely strong—certainly strong enough to warrant belief, but arguably strong enough to significantly defeat reasonable doubt—if all the relevant information is taken into account and properly understood. This includes the evidence from natural theology, the historical context of the Qur'an (especially the life of the Prophet ﷺ), the internal evidence for the Qur'an, and any other relevant lines of evidence. If the case for the Qur'an is strong, then in the case of apparent conflict with material evidence, then one should consider various possible ways the Qur'an as well as the material evidence could be interpreted to see if there are plausible solutions. Unfortunately people, both critics and believers of Islam, all too often look at the text and the material evidence too superficially, and quickly jump to the conclusion of a conflict without considering any sophisticated hermeneutic methods or interpreting the text or considering whether the material evidence yields a single conclusive interpretation (which is usually not the case in a field like archaeology). Also, it may be possible that the properly basic warrant for believing in Islam is strong enough to defeat the semblance of contradiction with external evidence even if one does not have a good answer in that particular case. It could be argued that this is a question better posed to a formal Islamic theologian, but it was felt that it was good to take the views of a person who concentrates more on Qur'anic studies, since the Qur'an is held by our theologians to be part of the evidence that should necessarily lead the researcher to Islam.

Dit is een lijst van personen aan wie ereburgerschap is verleend tijdens de Franse Revolutie. Dit gebeurde in 1792 na de oorlogsverklaring door de Wetgevende Vergadering op 20 april en de opschorting van het koningschap van Lodewijk XVI op 10 augustus. Door buitenlanders ereburgerschap te verlenen toonden de Franse revolutionairen hun universalisme en identificeerden ze hun nationale zaak met die van de hele mensheid. Decreet van 26 augustus 1792 De naturalisatiewet werd aangenomen tijdens een nachtelijke stemming zonder dat de betrokkenen op de hoogte waren.

Muslims are taught that the Bible has been corrupted. The King James Bible is often marched out as the origin of the corruption of the English Bibles that we have today. This article explains how the English Bibles we have today are not dependent on the King James Bible. In fact, they are translated from a very ancient source. The New Testament did not drop out of heaven. It was authored and published in the same manner as any other book. 2 Pet 1:21 describes how men were carried along by the Holy Spirit like a boat is carried along by the wind. They were not replaced by God but he managed the process. There is no angel whispering in a cave to one person in the Christian view of inspiration. We have multiple attestations with historical veracity of the public deeds and words of Jesus, his apostles, and their followers. We have overwhelming evidence that the 4 gospels, Acts, and 13 epistles of Paul were immediately received, copied and disseminated. This includes Greek copies as well as near immediate translations into other languages. The internal evidence of the NT shows an immediate expectation and acceptance of the writings of the apostles. From the Church Fathers, we can see that the sub-corpus of the 4 gospels and the book of Acts were accepted extremely early and exclusively. The letters of Paul were copied, transmitted, and read across the entire population of Christians including his personal letters and the sub-corpus of Paul's 13 letters were assembled together. Even heretical and gnostic writings confirm the early existence of the gospels in that it is the gospels that they mimic and never the other way around.

Just a few months after Facebook hired PayPal President David Marcus, the company looks all set to enter the mobile payments market. According to a TechCrunch report, a friend-to-friend payments transfer option already exists in Facebook Messenger, and all the company has to do is to turn it on. The feature would allow users to transfer funds via messaging in much the same way they send a photo. So far, it appears that Messenger payments work only with debit cards -- you can add a new debit card to the app or use the one that's already on file with Facebook. There's also an in-app pin code for extra security. "The mechanism it uses is to debit one account, and then use some magical means to lookup the bank account number of the recipient and ACH [Automated Clearing House] deposit it, Identical to Square Cash", said Andrew Aude, the Stanford computer science student who discovered the feature. The payments system currently allows you to send money to only one person at a time, but it will probably support group payments in the future. As for fees, there's no apparent mention of charges for using the service, however considering this is an early leak, this is bound to change before the system launches. It was security researcher Jonathan Zdziarski who first discovered the presence of payments code in Messenger last month, and according to Aude, the discovery prompted him to dig deep into the app's code. He used Cycript, a tool that attaches to a running program on iOS or OS X, and allows users to explore and even modify it. Back in July, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on the company's Q2 earnings call that "over time there will be some overlap between that [Messenger] and payments". However, he also stressed that it would take time. "There's so much groundwork for us to do".

As I was perusing the latest issue of Interpretation (April 2015, 69.2), the hair stood up on the back of my neck when I saw that Andrew Lincoln had reviewed my Colossians commentary (Smyth & Helwys, 2013). I read his review with much trepidation – he is one of the world's finest New Testament scholars, not least on Ephesians/Colossians! He covers much of the recent secondary literature and articulates his findings in a clear and discerning fashion. At the same time, he makes his own contributions to interpretation of the letter and appreciation of its message. The content of the interesting sidebars ranges from the latest information about excavations of Colossae through comparative material in ancient literature to short essays on relevant themes in Pauline theology. In the format for the series, the two main sections for each textual unit are headed Commentary and Connections, with the latter as the location for providing insights for potential application in preaching and teaching. Wisely, Gupta does not allow this division to make exegesis and application two entirely separate tasks. So, for example, he enriches his commentary on Col 1:9–12 by drawing on insights from theologians Ellen Charry and Colin Gunton. Likewise, his Connections sections do not jump directly to sermon illustrations or immediate practical application but remain rooted firmly in what has been discovered from the texts and wrestle with their hermeneutical and theological implications. Indeed, one of the refreshing features of this enjoyable commentary is its attempt to draw not only biblical scholars but also contemporary theologians into conversation with the text. For Gupta, the witness and thought of Bonhoeffer, in particular, epitomize an emphasis found throughout his commentary: the cosmic Christ and the crucified Christ are mutually informative, and such a Christology calls into question any spirituality of transcendence that obscures the significance of living under Christ's lordship in this world. Thank you, Professor Lincoln! I am deeply honored!

Sadie Fitzgerald has always been different, and not just because she makes her own clothes and would rather stay home watching Doctor Who than party with kids her age. When it's time to leave Angel Island for college, Sadie is eager to put her old life behind her. Small-minded people and rumors have plagued her for years, but with the love of her adoptive family, the O'Dells, Sadie has learned to embrace who she is. Now she's not afraid to admit the rumors about her are true: she's gay. For the first time in her life, Sadie feels free to be herself. She dives into college life and begins volunteering at the local LGBT center, where she discovers her small-town upbringing left holes in her education about life outside Angel Island. The world is a bigger and more accepting place than Sadie ever imagined. She's finally found where she belongs, but with the reappearance of someone from her past, an unexpected new friendship, and a chance at love, Sadie soon realizes she still has a lot to learn about life, friendship, and love. And now for a mini-interview with the author! 1. Why do you write F/F? I honestly didn't set out to. When Sadie popped into my head as Ella's best friend in After the Storm, I didn't know she was gay at first. When I figured it out, I had no idea she'd get her own book. Part of me was scared to write her story, but I knew I had to fight past that fear, partly because everyone deserves to see themselves reflected on the page. In my teens and early twenties, I would have loved to read f/f stories about girls coming out, falling in love, living normal lives, having adventures, struggling with real-life issues. I would have loved to pick up a book like Take Them by Storm and think 'hey, I'm a lot like Sadie'. It would have helped me so much. Those thoughts helped me get past the fear and write a story I hope many people will be able to relate to or see themselves or their best friend or their sister in. 2. What's your favorite scene from Take Them By Storm? It's actually a spoilery scene, so it's hard to talk about, but I'll say it's toward the end when Sadie realizes she's in love. It kind of hits her out of nowhere, and it's a scene that makes me grin and give a contented little sigh every time I read it or think about it. So many f/f books have sad, bittersweet, or even tragic endings, but I knew Sadie deserved happiness and love, and felt the readers deserved that, too. 3. What is a F/F book besides your own that you would recommend to other people? There are quite a few I regularly recommend, but two of the most underrated ones, in my opinion, are Kiss the Morning Star by Elissa Janine Hoole and The Summer I Wasn't Me by Jessica Verdi.

'We raise hope': Young nurse fights on Covid-19 frontlines in Iraq's war-ravaged Mosul Once a bustling city devastated during its liberation from Islamic State militants, Mosul is engaged in another life-and-death struggle – against Covid-19. Nurse Soror al-Husseini has told Ruptly about life on this new frontline. The nature of her job is to focus on the patient's "positive psychological state," to give them the proper medication and to meet their needs where possible, Soror, a 23-year-old woman says. She works in eastern Mosul's al-Shifa hospital. The place was once the main Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) headquarters during the terrorist occupation of the city. The building was severely damaged during the nine-month-long battle waged by the Iraqi forces with the support of the US-led coalition to wrench the city from the hands of jihadist extremists. Now, its renovated rooms and hall once again take in patients in need of medical assistance. The hospital now wages another battle as its quarantine wing is filled with men, women and children affected by the dreaded novel coronavirus that has already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives around the world. Saving lives in Mosul has once again become an urgent – if uneasy – task. Yet, Soror and her colleagues do everything they can to help despite the fact that a cure for the deadly disease has not yet been found. "Together with my colleagues, we work on the patient's positive psychological state to [help them] overcome the disease with a strong immunity system," the nurse told RT's Ruptly video news agency. Not all Mosul hospitals can boast being able to provide even such a remedy. The US-led coalition bombings between 2016 and 2017 severely damaged nine out of the city's 13 hospitals and the recovery has been slow and painful. After the liberation, the city, reduced to ash, virtually laid in ruins for years. Even in 2019, most of the damaged health care facilities were unable to offer any kind of medical assistance. Although young, Soror has already gone through a traumatic experience once before. She was involved in the taxing and dangerous job of clearing dead bodies from the streets following the city's "liberation." Thousands of dead bodies scattered around the Mosul ruins lay buried in rubble for years as a grim reminder of a battle that took the lives of more than 10,000 civilians. Also on rt.com 'We are like the living dead': Citizens of Mosul in despair 1.5 years after liberation from ISIS "During almost six months we recovered more than 1,000 bodies," the nurse recalls. Despite the "big difference" between her previous work and her current occupation, Soror admits that in ways the two jobs share depressing similarities. "Here death risk occurs, and there too. The fatigue is the same here and there." Yet, despite all the dangers and long odds of beating the disease in a city that is still reeling from the previous catastrophe that befell it, Soror manages not only to keep her hopes up, but also to share her positivity with those fighting for their lives now on the ruins of the past battles. "We raised hope there. We had hope and wanted to create hope for people," she said. "I will [inspire] hope and want to be a source of hope [for] people that they will survive."

The Archdiocese of Byblos & Botris (Mount Lebanon) prides itself with apostolic roots. The first bishop to preside over the archbishopric of Byblos was Saint Marc the Evangelist. And the first bishop on the archbishopric of Botris was Saint Silas (Silouan). Saint Peter set these two bishops during his journey, together with the apostles, from Jerusalem to Antioch after the martyrdom of Saint Stephen. In the beginning these two dioceses were under the jurisdiction of the archdiocese of Tyre. The fourth Ecumenical Council (451 A.D.) confirmed this legal situation by freeing these two bishoprics from the dominance of the bishop of Beirut-who had subdued them to his jurisdiction and by declaring the legitimacy of Tyre's litigate. The orthodox population in the area of the present archdiocese increased in number along the following centuries mainly due to migrations, persecutions, invasions and wars of different characters. Byzantine wars, Crusades, Mamluk invasions—all contributed in the constant demographic reshaping of Mount Lebanon's area—which now was officially subdued under the jurisdiction of Beirut and become known as the Archdiocese of Beirut and all Lebanon. Starting from 1861, the number of the Orthodox commenced rising again in the province of Mount Lebanon due to the increased migration from Damascus after the wave of massacres that the Christians suffered in these areas (during which St. Joseph of Damascus was martyred). All these demographic modifications made the archdiocese of Beirut and all Lebanon vast and hard for pastoral management. nnual gathering, that the group of Mount Lebanon's villages should form a separate archdiocese. After the repose of metropolitan Gabriel (Shatila), Lebanon's orthodox wrote to the Antiochian Holy Synod asking independence for their archdiocese. In November 1901, the Holy Synod decided to separate Mount Lebanon from Beirut, granted it independence and gave it the title: "The Archdiocese of Byblos & Botris (Mount Lebanon)". The archimandrite Paul (Abou Adal) was elected archbishop of the new archdiocese until his repose in the Lord in 1929. In 1935 Metropolitan Elyia (Karam) succeeded him until1969. Since 1970, this archdiocese was under the vigilant care of Metropolitan George who is now residing in Brumana (originally the archdiocese' summer residence) after the destruction of the original archdiocese headquarters in the town of Hadath during the Lebanese civil war. The Holy Synod of Antioch, under the presidency of His Beatitude Patriarch JOHN X, in its session of 27th of April 2018, conjured at the Patriarchal Monastery of our Lady of Balamand, elected an exceptional pastoral decision to transfer His Eminence SILOUAN (Moussi) from the Archdiocese of Argentina to the throne of the Archdiocese of Mount Lebanon.

Hampton tornado a scary flashback for Gloucester victims A little over a year ago, Tiffany Healy was dealing with extensive damage to her home after an EF-3 tornado tore through Gloucester. "The whole front of the house was torn up," said Healy. Now, it's a completely different picture. "Back to normal as much as it can be, yes, we're very glad to be back home," Healy said. It took her family about six or seven months to get back in; they stayed at a rental home until the repair work was finished. Many of the other homes on Shelly Rd have also been rebuilt or repaired, but up until a few weeks ago, there was still one house that had remained untouched. The house, where a man was killed in the tornado, was left on the property because of a pending lawsuit - a constant reminder to neighbors of what they had to deal with last year. "It was awful because every time you walked out the front door, it would be there, you'd have to look at it, and it just kept deteriorating with the weather," said Healy. Neighbors say they're thankful it's finally been removed. Now, with a few exceptions where work is still being finished, most of the work to people's homes has been completed. Along the hard hit Hickory Fork Rd, it's the same story. Most homeowners have finished their repairs, but there are still a few houses that remain in the same state of disrepair that they were in after the tornado. Neighbors say they're not sure when anything will be done about them. But although things look like they're back to normal, one thing that has forever changed is how some say they react to storms. For Healy, last Friday's tornado in Hampton was a scary flashback. "I was thankful it didn't come through here, and at the same time I knew what they were going through," Healy said, "I felt sorry for them having to go through it, it hit really close to home." "Friday when the storm got really bad, you're on edge, you don't know what to expect," said Barbara Lesson, another victim of the Gloucester tornado, "I don't like when storms come up because I was here by myself when the tornado hit last year." "It's just like going back," Lesson said, "The people in Hampton that got hit, I feel sorry for them, I know what they're going through and I don't wish that on anybody."

#COMMSCHAT TORY 'FACTCHECK UK' TWITTER STUNT SLAMMED WEDNESDAY 20 NOV 2019 2:48 PM BY RUTH WYATT The Conservative Party has received widespread condemnation for its decision to rebrand its Twitter account 'factcheckUK' during last night's televised leadership debate. Twitter said that it would take "decisive corrective action" if such a stunt were pulled again. Both the Public Relations and Communications Association and the Chartered Institute of Public Relations lambasted the move with the latter stating that any members involved would face disciplinary action. Conservative Campaign HQ briefly rebadged its account as factcheck UK to rebut points made by Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn during last night's debate with Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The move was variously branded dystopian, Orwellian and "straight out of Donald Trump's or Putin's playbook". Conservatives defended the move. Party chairman James Cleverly said on Newsnight, "We were calling out the Labour Party's wilful misinformation about the NHS. And every time they do that, we will call it out." Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said, "No one gives a toss about the social media cut and thrust." Twitter did not agree and branded it a deliberate attempt to mislead the public. "We have global rules in place that prohibit behaviour that can mislead people, including those with verified accounts. Any further attempts to mislead people by editing verified profile information – in a manner seen during the UK Election Debate – will result in decisive corrective action," it said in a statement. A PRCA spokesman said, "PR professionals have a duty to fight disinformation, not purvey it. The PRCA Code of Conduct is explicit in this regard. PR professionals must not disseminate false or misleading information. Doing so damages trust in our industry and in this case – the political process. We urge communications professionals to be mindful of their ethical responsibilities, particularly during a period of national importance." CIPR CEO Alastair McCapra said, "This sort of action damages trust, not only in the organisation which carries it out, but potentially in the election itself. Any CIPR members involved in this kind of misleading behaviour face potential disciplinary action under our Code of Conduct. It was extremely disappointing to see James Cleverly MP defending it on television after the debate. I have written to Mr Cleverly today to make this point."

Playtesting one of my board games Spacejunk My friend Dave recently bought Battlesystems' modular cardboard terrain (see the unboxing video on my Youtube channel) and we were hankering to play a game using it. While cleaning out some boxes in the garage I found some notes and test cards for a board game I started developing a year or two ago. It's called Spacejunk: The Forsaken™ and it's a sci-fi game set in my Freejacks™ universe, in which players fight to take control of starships or space stations. One player acts as Game Master (like in a roleplaying game) and the other players take on the role of characters fighting their way through their missions. The game is a bit of fun that includes rampaging robots, enemies that teleport next to players in the hopes of stopping them from achieving their goals, and waves and waves of spawning enemies. So we grabbed a few random miniatures I had lying around, gave Dave a mission to shut down a computer allegedly being used to run experiments on mutating captured sentient beings, and he went at it. Because the mechanics are still in note form, we played with a few ideas back and forth during the game, so there was no real consistency between turns, but I think that it's progressing well. And most importantly we had a lot of fun playing it, so it's a winner already. Not that I'm biased or anything. 🙂 So here are some photos of the day's excitement. An overview of the board. The red glowing thing is the experiment chamber and the computer console is what is used to turn it off The four characters in their starting location Their first successful kill was to take out this killer robot Thanks to spawning enemies, this little guy appeared in a room behind them and tried to surprise them from behind More spawning enemies appeared while the characters huddled down the far end near some cover, healing up some wounds and readying themselves for the next assault And they do pretty well Surprise! I drew a couple of robots as teleporting enemies that appeared right behind our heroes A vicious critter with more teeth and razor sharp claws than your mother-in-law attacks the characters And we have our first casualty Oh, and look at that. Our second casualty only moments later Uh-oh, they're dropping like flies here One guy left, he manages to take out the big boss, and while bleeding profusely and depleted energy shields, he makes one last ditch effort to turn off the machine and make a run for it But he doesn't get very far unfortunately One of the options I have playtested with others (but not this time around) was the ability for players to respawn by sacrificing an item, or paying a cost. The game is set in the far far future and there is nanotechnology that can resuscitate or heal people very easily. When we first played it though, we had the unconscious/dead character be automatically teleported back to their ship for revival, but this meant that the players had to fight through more baddies to get back to their teammates and this could take a while on a long map–assuming they even made it alive. So that's one aspect I want to address. I don't want to have infinite revivals, otherwise the players will just keep going back and it'll get pretty tedious, and they'll always win if they keep at it long enough, so there has to be some limit. Even though technology is sufficiently advanced to allow it, doesn't mean they'll be able to afford it. I'm exciting to keep working on this now as the Battlesystems terrain makes it look so much nicer than my cut out sheets of grid paper. I have another game in the works, which is a hex/counter wargame, also based in the same science fiction Freejacks universe and that game is far closer to completion. To the point where I have international playtesters.. well, one in Canada. 🙂 More on that another day.

Desc: No, a real closet. I find it odd/funny that the source of this video comes from OnKneesForJesus.blogspot.com for a number of reasons. So basically this "school" is giving the kids some dollar store Christian education workbooks and watches them as they complete it? I need to start opening some schools. Ah, Judge Judy. Helping to deplete my faith in mankind one case at a time. Personally, I think she restores mine. Also, I believe her proper title is "the Jewish Judge Sheindlin". That's how the video's Youtube description introduces her. She's been teaching children for 22 years. Without a BA. See, their mistake was thinking a Christian school would provide an education. The parents who send their kids to Christian schools don't send them to get an education. They send them there for discipline and obedience. That's why it's so important to them that the school utilizes paddling and other brutal degrading punishments designed to crush individuality and enforces conformity.

Q: Prove that $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\left(\sum_{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k\right)\left(\sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{\lambda_k }{a_k}\right)^{-1}= \lim_{n\to\infty} a_n$ Suppose that, $a_n\to \ell\neq 0$ is a converging sequence of non vanishing` complex numbers and $\{\lambda_n\}$ is a sequence of positifs real numbers such that $\sum\limits_{k=0}^{\infty}\lambda_k = \infty$ Then, show that, $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\sum_\limits{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k\right)\left(\sum_\limits{k=0}^{n}\frac{\lambda_k }{a_k}\right)^{-1}= \ell =\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n$$ I have no clue on how to start. A: Using this : General Cesaro : $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\sum_\limits{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k a_k}{\sum_\limits{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k} =\ell =\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n$ to the sequence, $\frac{1}{a_n}$ we have that $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\sum_\limits{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k a^{-1}_k}{\sum_\limits{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k} =\ell^{-1} =\lim_{n\to\infty}a^{-1}_n$$ that is $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\sum_\limits{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k\right)\left(\sum_\limits{k=0}^{n}\frac{\lambda_k }{a_k}\right)^{-1}= \ell =\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n$$

Health Ministry Briefing Public Broadcasting Binyamin Netanyahu Yonatan Sindel/Flash90 Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu tonight posted two angry tweets, after it became clear to him that the briefing he gave at the Health Ministry would not be broadcast live. "It seems that some of the media channels do not intend to broadcast life-saving messages published tonight by the Health Ministry," Netanyahu tweeted. "I ask you to watch my important words live on Channel 20 and on my Facebook," the Prime Minister added. Netanyahu later tweeted, "Channel 11 also broadcast our important statement in the Ministry of Health. It is unfortunate that the other channels decided not to broadcast our words. It is an issue of life and death that is of paramount importance to the lives of us all." Also during the briefing, in response to a Chanel 12 News reporter, the Prime Minister attacked the decision of the channel on which the reporter broadcasts, not to broadcast the briefing live.
