Benefit from our Expertise – We have assisted hundreds of Patients to find Affordable Treatment at World Class Hospitals in India.
Mary Mbatha from Kenya shares her experience after her child's Cochlear Implantation in India
My child was discovered as hearing deficient just after she was born. We consulted the best doctors in our home country and they were of the opinion that Cochlear Implant surgery was required and it was not available in Kenya. Then I started to search for hospitals outside my country for the treatment. The hospitals in America charged a huge amount for the treatment which was beyond my reach. Then one of my friends told me about India.
I searched on the internet and I found SafeMedTrip website. I filled up the form on the website. I got a call from the case manager and she told me to send the medical reports.
I sent the reports by mail and the case manager got back to me with the opinion doctor and the treatment package. The case manager helped me with the passport, visa and the air tickets which saved a lot of my time.
On the day we arrived in India, we met the surgeon and all our admission formalities were done. I have never seen such caring services in hospitals back home in my country. The next day and a series of tests were carried out and the surgery was planned and was successful.
We stayed in India for almost 8 weeks after the surgery for speech training and follow up. Overall it was a great experience. My Child is doing well and I am extremely grateful to the doctors. I thank everyone who helped me and my child at every step and would strongly recommend SafeMedTrip.Refer a Patient

It's funny. I wouldn't call myself an optimist. And yet while I'm kneeling on this guy, waiting for the cops, I genuinely believe that the hard part of my day is over. All I have to do now is keep him down until they arrive to arrest him, give a statement, maybe answer a few questions and then it's home for dinner. I pass the time by thinking about whether tonight should be a pizza night. By the time I hear the sirens, I've just about decided that it should be.
At first, it even looks like this is how things are going to work out. The cops show up, cuff the guy — who's ranting about how I'm the menace, and I'm the one who should be in cuffs, of course — and ask me and Regina for our stories. Then they ask us to come back to the station to give official statements, which is a bit off-plan, but not much. I even know a good pizza place downtown that I rarely go to, so this is expanding my options.
Regina's car is missing three windows, both taillights and a headlight; the back bumper is twisted and the driver's side door won't open. So it's reasonable that we ride downtown in patrol cars. Even the fact that we're in separate cars doesn't bother me. They want to get our stories without us collaborating, so that makes sense. And everyone's behaving in a calm and professional manner, which keeps me at my ease.
It's not until we get to the "station" that my heart sinks. As the officer's opening the door to let me out, I realize something that I should have thought about far sooner. The police station has been closed since I burned it down to stop Vince. I know full well that the new building isn't ready yet; I've been working every day on the construction site to get it done. Their temporary housing is in the basement of City Hall. And with Tanger running for mayor, there's no way that he hasn't been down here regularly, glad-handing people and getting his thoughts all over everything.
If I'm very lucky, Tanger hasn't had a chance to talk to the cops directly, and I'll just have to deal with the low-level background distrust he puts out about me. That's sort of a cop's default operating mode anyway, so it won't be all that bad. But frankly, I don't feel all that lucky.
The officer leads me to an interview room, which is basically a large closet with no windows that smells like it was used to store damp cardboard for many years. There are two chairs, a table, a light, a camera up in one corner and not much else. I sit alone in one of the chairs for a few minutes before the door opens to admit a policeman carrying a notepad.
He takes the chair across from me and studies me for a moment. I try to decide if he's been infected by Tanger's opinion of me or not, but he's got a great poker face and I can't read anything from it. The silence stretches on awkwardly for a few seconds before he speaks.
"Okay, Dan Everton?" He makes it a question, and I nod. "I'm Sergeant Conroy. I'm here to get your statement about what happened today. Please speak clearly for the camera."
I give him the basic rundown, leaving out things like why it happened and the fact that it wasn't the first time today that someone tried to kill me. Those seem like the sorts of details that are likely to complicate matters rather than clear them up. I do tell him about the green car, though, since they'd probably like to talk to that driver, too. He nods and looks attentive during my story, and as I'm winding up, I'm starting to think that maybe my luck came through for me after all.
"And do you have any idea why you were attacked today?"
"Not really? He was yelling something about me blackmailing the mayor. I don't know, it didn't make a lot of sense. Maybe he had me confused with someone else."
"Yes, certainly a possibility. Is that what you were doing when you burned down the police station?"
"W–what?" I stutter, taken totally off guard. Conroy leans forward over the table, suddenly on the attack.
"The police station fire, Mr. Everton, surely you remember that. Theoretically you almost died in there."
"I remember it, but I didn't do it! It was that guy, Vince D' — Amano! I did almost die there!"
"Yeah? That's interesting, because I have a dozen or so friends who also almost died there. They've all got scars to show for it — big burns on their arms and faces where the skin's melted and the hair won't grow back. One of them lost an eye. One's still not back at work because the smoke inhalation scarred his lungs so badly that he's still relearning how to breathe. And yet here you sit, fit as a fiddle.
"I believe you told the officer at the scene that you're a construction worker? That wouldn't happen to be at the site of the police station, would it? Very convenient."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that you showed up at the station for reasons unknown, just before it burned down. Then you get a job working there, raking over the ashes. And now someone's accusing you of being a blackmailer? It sounds to me like you were looking for something at the station. And maybe you found it. Maybe this guy isn't on a crazy rant; maybe he just knows something that the rest of us haven't figured out yet."
"I saved people's lives in that fire!" I protest.
"Sure, I've heard that you're a hero. But how did the fire start, Mr. Everton? And why?"
I open my mouth, then close it again. There's nothing I can say here. I did start the fire, but it was to stop Vince from turning the entire place into his clone army and overrunning the city with a one-man insurrection. There's absolutely no way to explain that, though.
Conroy is still staring me down, a predator's gaze. "I think we'll keep you here for a while, Mr. Everton. Let you think about some things."
"On what charge?"
"I'll come up with something!" he roars, standing and slamming his forearms onto the table, and I flinch backwards. We're in that tableau when the door to the interview room opens, revealing Officer Peterson in the hallway.
"Okay, AJ. Take a break," he says evenly. Sergeant Conroy glares at me for a second longer, breathing heavily through his nose, then straightens up, turns and leaves the room, brushing past Peterson. Peterson watches him walk down the hallway before turning back to me.
"Everything okay, Mr. Everton?"
I let out a breath before replying. "I mean, yeah. I thought I was just here to talk about a guy who tried to run me off of the road and execute me in the street, though. I wasn't ready to be put on trial."
"Yes, about that. Let's take a walk."
I look at him quizzically, and he makes the slightest of motions with his head toward the camera in the corner. I'm not always quick on the uptake, but I can figure this one out; Peterson wants to talk about things involving my powers, and he'd just as soon not be on camera sounding like a crazy person. It took me a long time to trust him, but he not only helped with the official story on the police station fire, he even got me the construction job afterward. So I figure I can answer whatever question's on his mind.
That question, asked soon after we enter the hall, turns out to be fairly broad: "Mr. Everton. What's going on?"
"A lot. Can you narrow it down?"
"Don't play stupid with me. There's something wrong here. The department's divided over you. It's not just that some think you're a hero and some don't. Of those that don't, a lot of them seem to full-on resent you lately. It wasn't like that until recently. So what's changed? And you know precisely what I mean by that, so please don't dodge the question."
"Ah, okay. So, this is going to sound paranoid, but I swear it's the truth. You know Evan Tanger, the dude running for mayor? He's the latest nanobot recipient. He can use them to spread his thoughts, to pass them on to other people. And like usual, he hates me. Furiously."
"How do you know this?"
"I, um. Was at his office for a construction thing. Because he runs the company I work for. And I saw an email about it."
Peterson gives me a dead stare. "Yes. What a reasonable story."
"Anyway, he's poisoning people's minds against me. Some of it's just background, but the guy today in the car was intentional. He'd been sent against me. So if Tanger's been around here –"
"He has," confirms Peterson.
"–then people are riding off of his residual distrust, at the very least."
"Then why do some people here still think you're a hero?"
"It's not mind control. It's just a new thought you get. Like, if you thought, 'Hey, I'd like some ice cream,' you might also think 'but I'm full,' or 'I'm lactose intolerant.' So it doesn't overwrite whatever you already thought, and if it's incompatible with what you already believe, you can ignore it.
"So anyone here with a strongly positive opinion of me is probably going to keep that, at least until it gets worn down. But anyone without those thoughts will just accept the 'Dan is terrible' ones, because they've got nothing to contradict it."
We walk in silence for a moment. Then Peterson asks, "Do you have any evidence of this?"
"Yeah, Tanger isn't a random victim like the rest of us have been. He was emailing with a guy, a scientist. He got the nanos implanted intentionally."
"You certainly got a very thorough glance at this email, Mr. Everton. Let me say for no reason at all that stolen data is unlikely to be admissible in any sort of court case. And so I repeat the question: do you have any evidence?"
"Not…really. No."
"Okay." We walk in silence for another minute. Peterson leads me back to the front of the temporary station and signs me out. Regina is waiting for me at the front.
As I leave, Peterson says, "Mr. Everton. Please keep me in the loop on this." I hear both the promise: so I can help you — and the threat: or I'll put you in jail. It's a very efficient sentence.
I sigh as I pull out my phone. "I need to demagnetize this and recharge it, and then I've got some feathers to ruffle. You up for pizza?"

Tarkus first came to us in the dying years of the old century. First as a whisper, later as a roar. For twenty years and more the accretions had built up layer upon layer eventually blotting out the sunlight to all below. Since that time many people have asked 'what is Tarkus?' Ah, if only it were that easy, I have spent many a lonely evening pondering that simple yet knotty question.
Never the less somethings over time have become clear. Tarkus has a presence and purpose all of its own, it is at once familiar and yet somehow strange. Tarkus is not a thing like an object, in that it cannot be nailed down or placed in a specimen jar. Rather it is best thought of as a phenomenon, an experience.
Yes, Tarkus has a recognizable image, but this is merely an outward manifestation within whose form entire worlds of meaning are held together.
Tarkus is like a tunnel, a tower block, a toy.
Tarkus is like lying on an analysts couch.
Tarkus can get tongued tied in any language under the sun.
Tarkus is like the tide of history on the turn.
Tarkus is like a slice of toast in the machine.
Tarkus is like a egg placed on a powder keg.
Tarkus is like a spinning top.
Tarkus is like a pocket of loose change.
Tarkus is like a corporal putting a snorkel into use.
Tarkus exists somewhere between a quagmire and a funeral pyre.
Tarkus is like a piece of lost property.
Tarkus is like a Walrus fighting a duck-billed platypus.
Tarkus is like an engine set to explode.
Tarkus is a horse trader, a house painter, a smuggler and a philosopher thief.
Tarkus is a survivor of the cappuccino wars, with all the requisite battle scars.
Tarkus is a geezer who will not fade or rust.
Tarkus likes chocolate, coffee and cigars.
Tarkus is a gunslinger a poet and a little chief
Tarkus knows how to accumulate orgone by the bucket load
Tarkus is a telescope, a trampoline and a heliotrope.
Tarkus is a symptom, a symbol, a swivel chair.
Tarkus is the cough before the Big Bang.
Is Tarkus a hairdryer a time machine or both?
Tarkus is, Tarkus is, Tarkus is....

Verse 3:[1] And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the (Ex. 14:14; Josh. 10:14, 42) LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.
[What the Lord has done, etc.] That is to say, It is therefore fair that ye cultivate piety in return, and reciprocate the love of so beneficent a God (Masius). That is to say, Consider, call again into mind (Vatablus).
Because of you; for your sake and good, that you might gain by their losses.
Verse 4:[2] Behold, (Josh. 13:2, 6; 18:10) I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward (Heb. at the sunset[3]).
[And now because, etc., רְאוּ] Look ye. Propose to the eyes of your soul. The ordering of the words is more confused here (Masius).
[הִפַּ֙לְתִּי לָכֶ֜ם אֶֽת־הַ֠גּוֹיִם הַנִּשְׁאָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֛לֶּה בְּנַחֲלָ֖ה לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶ֑ם] By lot I have distributed (I have cause to fall [Montanus], I have overthrown [Tigurinus], I have subjected [Munster]) to you those nations remaining (or, persisting, that survive, that is, are not yet conquered) for an inheritance for your tribes, or, according to your tribes, etc. (Pagnine, English, similarly Vatablus, Junius and Tremellius, Jonathan, Arabic).
These nations that remain, not yet conquered. To be an inheritance for your tribes; you shall certainly subdue them, and inherit their land, as you have done the rest, if you be not wanting to yourselves.
[From the eastern part of Jordan, etc.,מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּ֗ן וְכָל־הַגּוֹיִם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִכְרַ֔תִּי וְהַיָּ֥ם הַגָּד֖וֹל מְב֥וֹא הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃] From Jordan, and all the nations (together with the land of all nations) that I cut off, or, destroyed, unto the great sea (or, and to the great sea [Tigurinus, Arabic]) toward the setting (or, and the setting [Munster]) of the sun (Pagnine, English, Munster, Tigurinus). From Jordan, both all nations that I have cut off, and the nations of the great sea toward the setting of the sun (Junius and Tremellius). Namely, those dwelling by the sea; which nations remained to be cut off, even if the Israelites were undisturbed by them. See on Joshua 22:2 (Junius). This is the meaning of the entire sentence; By lot I have distributed to you both those nations that have not yet been driven out, and those that I myself have already cut off throughout all Canaan between Jordan…and the great sea. That מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּן, from Jordan, is not set down in its proper place. He calls to mind those that have not yet been driven out, so that he might increase their courage to overthrown them; from the ease of it. For the Divine lot itself was as an earnest and pledge of God's altogether certain counsel, as it is explained in the next verse (Masius).
With all the nations that I have cut off, that is, with the land of those nations; the people put for their land, as we have seen before; and as sometimes, on the contrary, the land is put for the people. Westward, where the Philistines, your most formidable adversaries, yet survive; but them also and their land I have given to you, and you shall undoubtedly destroy them, if you will proceed vigorously in your work.
[1] Hebrew: וְאַתֶּ֣ם רְאִיתֶ֗ם אֵת֩ כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֙ר עָשָׂ֜ה יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֛ם לְכָל־הַגּוֹיִ֥ם הָאֵ֖לֶּה מִפְּנֵיכֶ֑ם כִּ֚י יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֔ם ה֖וּא הַנִּלְחָ֥ם לָכֶֽם׃
[2] Hebrew: רְאוּ֩ הִפַּ֙לְתִּי לָכֶ֜ם אֶֽת־הַ֠גּוֹיִם הַנִּשְׁאָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֛לֶּה בְּנַחֲלָ֖ה לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶ֑ם מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּ֗ן וְכָל־הַגּוֹיִם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִכְרַ֔תִּי וְהַיָּ֥ם הַגָּד֖וֹל מְב֥וֹא הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃

Only Fish Creek could make a tea cosy party last nine days.
But that's what's kicking off this weekend—an entire calendar of events that celebrate humble tea cosy (that woollen thing that goes over your Nan's teapots, just FYI).
This is the fourth year Fish Creek has hosted the Tea Cosy Festival, and in 2018 the theme is going to be 'TEAnational' (honestly, we die). Basically, they're going to celebrate tea cosies from all over the world, drink a lot of tea, and have a good old natter. It sounds bloody amazing.
You want to know what happens during a tea cosy festival? We'll tell you. A Tea Cosy Exhibition (obviously), several high tea sessions with free-flowing Darjeeling, tea cosy demonstrations and workshops (!!), a big tea cosy market day, and even a 'Knit & Natter' session with tea cosy expert, Loani Prior (!!!!???). You can check out the full program (oh yep, there's program) over here.
If you haven't been to Fish Creek before, this is a bloody good excuse. It's on the way to The Prom, just past Meeniyan. There's an excellent pub (with a giant dead fish on the top), several cracking galleries, a strip of op-shops, cafes and general stores, plus the new Roland Harvey studio (90s kids will remember him fondly).
The fact that the whole town will be going tea cosy mad is just a bonus.
BRB, we're just gonna pop the kettle on. Want a biscuit?
The Details
Where: Fish Creek (various locations)
When: 19 – 27 May

Flat panel displays prompt quick recovery in China with expansion in key vertical markets following COVID-19 impactsJuly 30, 2020After the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, news monitoring the pandemic has become a daily focus among the overall China region. The coronavirus has affected all aspects of various segments ranging from the public health crisis, travel limitations, and supply chain disruptions. Although the government's pandemic prevention department still recommends that citizens should limit the frequency of going to indoor places with crowded people, Omdia forecasts that flat panel displays in China will recover quickly through the expansion of several key vertical markets within the digital signage industry.Subscribers Only

Can I move a personal Facebook pixel to a Business Ad Account?
I have a client who has been using a pixel on a Personal Ad Account. I think it makes sense for him to move to his Business Ad Account. He has been using a Pixel off of that personal account though for several months. Will we lose anything by moving to the new ad account? I am trying to see if it is worth trying to walk the client through trying to move his personal account into his business manager.
You can either transfer the account over to the business manager which won't have any effect on the pixel history or you can create a new account and then share the pixel with the new ad account. Either way, you will be fine.
Here's a YouTube Video on how to share the pixel with a different ad account

Submitted on Wed, 02/07/2014 - 7:05pm By Tara Bradbury
Now I know a Tara slap may sound a little harsh but this is the time of year we really need to look back on our targets we have set for 2016 and make sure we are on track. Before entering into the second half of the year now is a great time to set aside an hour or so on the weekend or during your normal week to plan out and do a mid-year review.
Use this time to reflect back on the first six months of the year and make adjustments to your goals for the remainder of the year.
"Look-Back" Questions:
- Key Accomplishments:

- Have I been focusing my time on the most important things in my life?
- Are there any significant "time wasters" that I need to reduce or eliminate from my life?
- When am I most productive?
- When am I least productive?
"Look-Forward" Questions:
- Top 3 Work-Related Goals:
- What are my top three career goals for the remainder of the year?
- Why are those goals important to me?
- What habits and processes do I need to adopt to support these goals?
- Top 3 Personal Goals.
- What are my top three personal goals for the remainder of the year?
- Why are those goals important to me?
- Who can I share those goals with to help hold me accountable to achieving them?
- Relationship Development:
- Which relationships will I focus on strengthening and developing during the second half of the year?
- Who do I want to meet and get to know?
- Who can most help me achieve my career and personal goals?
- Learning and Knowledge:
- Other areas of learning do I most need to focus on?
- What are the new skills do I need to develop?
- What skills do I need to strengthen?
- What is the one skill, if mastered it, would have the greatest impact on the achievement of my goals?
- Habits:
- What time management habits do I need to develop and strengthen?
- What three habits, if developed and sustained, would have the greatest positive impact on my work life and personal life?
- What habits do I know I need to drop or replace?
Now is the time to prepare for a strong ending to your year by taking the time to do a mid-year review sometime over the next week. Run through the above questions. Write down your answers, then, once a month going forward through to the end of the year, review this information and check your progress on a monthly basis.

Michael J. Daly: Hallowed ground and steadfast gratitude
COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, FRANCE — The scene from the bluff above the English Channel and the beach below on this clear Wednesday afternoon is absolutely serene: It is low tide and couples stroll at the water's edge, a prancing black horse pulls a man in a sulky along a sandbar.
Just feet away, though, is the American cemetery where 9,388 U.S. soldiers are buried beneath precisely aligned white crosses on impeccably manicured grounds maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission..
Another 1,600 names — Connecticut men among them — are inscribed on the Walls of the Missing that ring the entrance to the memorial and cemetery.
A stiff breeze is coming off the English Channel. It hums as it gusts through the fir trees. The pink roses and blood-red geraniums that line the entry to the memorial shudder. Two American flags snap on their towering staffs.
It's hard to imagine that just 75 years ago, this beach, this bluff, these pretty little lanes, pinched by sandstone farmhouses, barns and the notorious hedgerows, were the setting for the carnage that began on June 6, 1944, with the allied invasion on this, Omaha Beach, and four others along the Normandy coast.
And the Battle of Normandy lasted another 100 days, claiming some 20,000 civilian lives.
American flags fly today from many of those farmhouses and barns.
Mrs. Daly and I are here on a special side trip during a 10-day vacation in Paris. It is a two-and-a-half hour trip by car from the city.
Two reasons brought me here: My father participated in this effort. He was in the U.S. Army, was billeted with a family in Wales before the invasion, and that is all I know. He never spoke of it and I never inquired.
The other reason was my friendship with the man I call "the real" Michael J. Daly, late of Fairfield, and a recipient of the Medal of Honor for his valor during World War II.
He wrote a piece about his return, as an older man, to this cemetery.
"You stand on that hallowed ground alone with your memories — but not really alone — for if you listen, you can hear the notes of a distant trumpet calling us — all of us — to a higher standard, a greater understanding, an understanding that when all the smoke has cleared from the last battlefield, and it will, we will stand there face to face with our own central humanity, our own overwhelming need to respect and help one another. For us, there is no other answer," he wrote.
As we walked, a carillon began to play the Star-Spangled Banner and moments later, the plaintive bugle — trumpet, maybe — call of Taps.
The United States, alas, has earned a reputation for treatment of veterans that ranges from the disgraceful to the adequate.
I'm not an expert on anything, let alone French culture, but I can tell you that at least in this neck of the woods, the appreciation of U.S. soldiers remains palpable even after 75 years.
It struck me while here that, unlike France, we have not experienced occupation by a poisonous evil. Our soldiers, men and women, are doing what they do in foreign countries.
Not having had our freedoms taken away and then restored, I don't know if we can share that same level of regard and gratitude.
In France, they make a point of teaching children about the Nazis and about the young soldiers who came to Europe — and particularly to the Normandy shore — to drive them out.
At the Caen-Normandie Memorial in the nearby city of Caen — on the Esplanade General Eisenhower — the place was packed with French schoolchildren on class outings. They sat with us in an auditorium and watched a 20-minute movie that told the story of D-Day and the beginning of the military effort that ultimately defeated the Nazis.
In the lobby they walked by words written in French on the wall that noted the memorial was dedicated to the thousands of young soldiers who gave their lives for "votre" liberty. That means "your." Not for the liberty of France or Europe or the world. But "votre."
In this part of France, they keep reminding their children of the sacrifice American soldiers — and those of the other 11 countries who provided troops — made for their freedom.

As a suburban city in Southern Ontario, Brampton is one of the most populous cities in Canada. With more people, there are more houses and in turn, more ants. If left unchecked, these pests can hinder the smooth functioning of your home and family. Mega Pest Control provides a way for ants control in Brampton
There are two major types of ants found in Brampton – Carpenter Ants and Pavement Ants. Pavement Ants are nuisance pests and like to eat sweet or greasy food. Carpenter Ants cause more harm as they gnaw through wood though they eat food with high sugar content such as honey, jelly, jams or sugars.
Identifying the Ants
It is easy to confuse Ants with Termites as both live in colonies, but it is important to identify them to find the right method of ants control in Brampton. Mega Pest control has a unique three-step ICP Methodology in which we Inspect, Control, and Prevent the pest-related issues.
There are a few simple steps to identify if the pest at your home are ants –
- If there are holes in the wood at your home – it could be either termites or carpenter ants. If the pest is black in color and has clear wings where the front pair is larger than the back with elbowed antennae, you have an infestation of carpenter ants at your home. They are seldom seen in clusters and are of different sizes. If the pest is white, with equal sized wings and straight antennae, it is a termite infestation.
- If the ants are in clusters and present only on the floor or the basement, is black or brown in color and are equal in size, then the pests are pavement ants.
If you suspect there are ants at your home but have never seen them, there are few questions which can answer your doubts –
- Do you hear any sounds inside the walls like rice crispies breaking?
- Are there any wood shavings found inside the house?
- Do you find any persistent moisture problems around windows, bathtubs, dishwashers, or showers?
As carpenter ants gnaw at wood and are susceptible to dehydration, the colonies might be present in the beams or wood panels near sources of water. Do call up Mega Pest Control for ants control in Brampton.
Now that we have identified the pests, it is important to look at the ways for ants control in Brampton. If the pests are carpenter ants, we inspect the size of the colony and nature of the infestation. If left unchecked, these ants can cause structural damage to your house. To control and prevent further influx of carpenter ants, Mega Pest Control uses eco-friendly and non-toxic chemicals.
Pavement Ants are relatively harmless and, in most cases, we move the nests and relocate the queen. If the infestation is large, our experts use eco-friendly and non-toxic chemicals for ants control in Brampton.
It is important to verify regularly if the infestation is in check, and Mega Pest Control does this by doing regular site visits for ants control in Brampton. It is important to seal the nests to prevent re-entry of ants which we do without fail. We also educate the property owners to identify signs of an infestation, which can help you take immediate preventive measures.
Home remedies and their impact
There are a few home remedies which can help you minimize the effect of ants. A mixture of soap and water is toxic to carpenter ants. Spraying the ants with natural ant killer spray might also help. What is important in these cases is that, though the solution could affect a few ants, the colonies might remain unaffected. There could be more ants causing potential damage to food and the wood structure. To be completely sure that there are no ants in your house, do call up the exterminators for ants control in Brampton. As one of the best ones, Mega Pest Control provides a thorough inspection and clean-up, rendering your home safe for kids, pets, and family.

A Lansing man tells his side of the story after officers seized dozens of farm animals, dogs and marijuana plants from his property on the city's south-west side.
Animal control officials say during the search, more than 80 chickens were found.
That's a violation of a county ordinance.
Officers from Ingham County Animal Control say they have been receiving complaints since June about livestock being housed on a property.
The owner of the property told FOX 47 he was only trying to provide organic food to his family and neighbors.
"I grew this chicken," Clarence Walker says as he raised up an uncooked frozen whole chicken.
"I grew this chicken and I know this chicken clean. I know what this chicken ate. We even give our chickens baths every two weeks."
Tuesday afternoon, officials from ICAC seized 82 chickens, four ducks, five dogs and one turkey from the property.
Clarence Walker says he was warned last week to remove the animals by Monday.
"So we secured a property over the weekend and got in there and we were building our pens and stuff for all of our animals," Walker explained.
"Monday, when they came out, I told them like the goats were already gone. We were able to build the goat pens over the weekend and the goats were already there, and I told them that we were building all the chicken coops and that we were going to move all the chickens there too."
Walker says he plans to get his animals back and that he will do whatever it takes to get in compliance with animal control officials.
According to ICAC, the dogs they took in during the search put the shelter at capacity.
Adoption fees have been reduced to help clear the shelter.
FOX 47 reached out to the Lansing Police Department, which declined to comment on the investigation.

On another note, while at Sigman's Camp Cedar Pines they told me about their huckleberry picker and let me borrow it. But alas all my huckleberries are gone, just blackberries to pick not sure if it will work on them, but I will give it a try. It is an interesting concept. The picker has a shelf on it a little way back to keep the berries in after you pick them. I am guessing you have to turn it over to get the berries out. They did say you had to sort some leaves and not so ripe ones out and it has a bit of a learning curve. But for the most part they said it works well.
The last item is not milk as you might think, but it is sugar. Lee went through 80lbs of sugar this last month and in order to save money we bought 20lb bags from Sam's Club. The 20lb bags are hard to work out of so Lee dried out some old gallon milk jugs and funneled the sugar into them. She said it pours out nicely and makes her job easier.

Android Notifications Not Showing Up? 10 Fixes to Try
Android's notification system is second to none. But it's often tainted by custom manufacturer skins or glitches in a particular app. That sometimes leads to odd behaviors and delays, causing you to miss crucial alerts.
But thankfully, you can try many fixes to get your notifications back to normal. Here are some fixes to try if you aren't receiving Android notifications as usual.
1. Reboot Your Phone
The first step towards troubleshooting any issue you face is ensuring it's not a temporary hiccup. To do that, you'll need to reboot your phone. Doing so puts an end to all background processes or services which might impede an app's ability to push notifications.
This will also refresh your phone's core components, in case any of them crashed during a task.
2. Review the App's Notification Settings
If restarting your phone didn't do the job, try reviewing the notification settings for the app in question. The majority of mainstream apps offer their own set of proprietary preferences to modify how often they can push alerts, which type of notifications you want, and more.
Gmail, for instance, lets you completely switch off sync. So make sure you haven't accidentally hit any buttons to shut off that feature while browsing the app's settings.
If you don't find the relevant settings in the app, make sure to check Android's notification settings for the app under Settings > Apps & Notifications > [App name] > Notifications. Android Oreo and newer have a revised notification system All the New Ways to Use Notifications in Android 8.0 Oreo Android 8.0 Oreo's notification channels are a powerful new way to make sure that your phone only alerts you of priority information. Here's everything on the way notifications have changed in Oreo. Read More that lets you change settings for different types of alerts.
3. Disable Software Battery Optimizations
To preserve battery life and prevent apps you don't use regularly from remaining active in the background, Android has begun to adopt AI-based software optimizations. But the algorithms powering these are not perfect yet and can wreak havoc when their predictions go south.
One of the most common victims of this is the notification system. If you've been facing troubles, disable these features for a few days.
On stock Android, you can disable Adaptive Battery under Settings > Battery to turn it off for all apps. But this is probably overkill. Instead, you can disable battery optimizations on a per-app basis by visiting Settings > Apps & Notifications > [App name] > Advanced > Battery > Battery optimization.
4. Check for Proprietary Power Savers
Some manufacturers go the extra mile by adding even more power-saving tools that automatically block apps they think are not important. So in addition to the ones Google bundles, you will have to check whether your phone comes with any other in-house optimizations.
On Xiaomi phones, for example, there's a preloaded app called Security which houses several of these functions.
5. Reinstall the App or Wait for Updates
In case you're encountering problems with only one app, it's possible the developers have accidentally rolled out a buggy update. For those scenarios, you have three options.
You can uninstall and reinstall the app, wait for an update to fix the issue, or revert back to an older version. If you want to get an older version, you can head over to a website like APKMirror. Find the one you want to reinstall and you can sideload the app How to Manually Install or Sideload Apps on Android Want to sideload apps on your Android phone? Installing APKs manually on Android opens up a whole new world of apps, and it's easy to do. Read More for the time being.
6. Check the Do Not Disturb Mode
Most Android phones ship with a handy Do Not Disturb mode. This is designed to suppress all notifications except for a handful you choose to let through. Software designers tend to put its switch in easily reachable places like the Quick Settings. Thus, if you're not familiar with it, there's a decent chance you could have mistakenly turned it on.
Head into Settings and under Sound or Notifications (depending on your specific Android device), review the Do Not Disturb mode. If you can't find it in either of these places, search for Do Not Disturb from the bar present at the top of Settings.
7. Is Background Data Enabled?
In Android Oreo and later, you can cut off apps' access to mobile data in the background. While you probably didn't toggle this setting by accident, it's still worth checking out when you have notifications problems. After all, no internet access renders many apps essentially dead.
You'll find this option at at Settings > Apps & Notifications > [App name] > Data Usage > Background Data.
8. Is Data Saver Turned On?
The Data Saver feature lets you restrict the amount of data apps use when not on Wi-Fi. This can help you save money on your mobile phone bill 8 Useful Tips to Reduce Mobile Data Usage and Save Money Want to get the most out of your mobile data plan? These apps and tricks can help you squeeze out every last megabyte. Read More , but can also cause you to miss out on notifications.
To confirm the data saver mode isn't at fault here, use your phone without it for a while (if you currently have it enabled). Visit Settings > Network & internet > Data Usage > Data Saver to take a look.
9. Is the App Allowed to Function in the Background?
On Android Oreo and above, you have the ability to completely shut off apps from operating when you're not actively using them. It's included to disable apps that consume way too much of your phone's battery life. It's certainly a nifty addition that safeguards your phone's battery life from poorly built apps.
However, it can also lead to problems if switched on for apps that matter to you. Unfortunately, Android can make changes to this on its own if it thinks it's necessary. You should thus review the setting for apps with notification problems.
It's located under Settings > Apps & Notifications > [App name] > Battery > Background Restriction.
10. Manually Tweak Sync Intervals
Google removed the built-in function through which you could alter sync intervals on Android. Fortunately, you can always rely on third-party developers to step up and fill gaps. An app simply titled Push Notification Fixer lets you do adjust sync timing with minimal fuss.
You can change the sync individually for both mobile data and Wi-Fi connections. You can raise it up to 15 minutes (which is the Android default) and drop it to as one minute. Do note that adjusting these preferences will take a toll on your phone's battery life.

Master Your Android Phone's Notifications
If after all these steps, you're still not able to get your notifications back in order, it might be a device-specific issue. In that case, it's best to check for software updates or contact your phone's manufacturer.
When you've figured out the culprit, you should learn how to precisely control notifications on Android. Doing so will allow you to filter them and free your life from those unnecessary pings. To do that, you will some tips and tricks for mastering Android notifications.

The huge rotation taking place in the stock market isn't even halfway over, JP Morgan says
Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange, December 9, 2019.
Brendan McDermid | Reuters
The "once in a decade" trade J.P. Morgan called four months ago is still alive and has more room to run.
The massive rotation into value stocks and out of momentum names that began in September is not even halfway done, according to J.P. Morgan's chief U.S. equity strategist Dubravko Lakos-Bujas. The analyst said the trend will persist as the economy reaccelerates, aided by central bank easing.
"Currently, we estimate that 42% of potential rotation has been realized," Lakos-Bujas said in a note on Thursday. "As data prints improve, the reacceleration of the business cycle will be more evident and should lead to greater risk appetite."
Value stocks staged a big comeback in September after years of underperformance as investors bet on economically sensitive, cheap stocks on hopes for a U.S.-China trade deal and a rebound in economic conditions.
Value names have been outperforming momentum stocks over the past few months. The iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Factor ETF, one of the biggest exchange-traded funds focused on value factor, surged nearly 10% in the past six months, while the iShares Edge MSCI USA Momentum Factor ETF was up 6% during the same period.
Despite the recent rally, value stocks still remain oversold and "very cheap" compared to history, Lakos-Bujas pointed out.
Investors will continue to gravitate towards value and cyclical stocks on the back of an easier monetary policy, the analyst said. The Federal Reserve reversed course last year, cutting interest rates three times and started expanding its balance sheet.
"Global cyclical upturn has legs and is not fragile as feared by many," Lakos-Bujas said. "The change in trajectory of global monetary policy and central bank balance sheet growth will be a powerful driver of a new intra-cycle recovery."
J.P. Morgan set its year-end target for the S&P 500 at 3,400, about 3% gain from here.
The biggest holdings in the iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Factor ETF include Berkshire Hathaway, Exxon Mobil, UnitedHealth, Bank of America and AT&T.

The Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open is the last European Tour golf betting stop before the British Open, and will be held July 13th-16th at Dundonald Links in Ayrshire, Scotland. Many people who bet on golf believe that no man born of woman will win this tournament, but that's just a myth. In fact, any of the following online betting contenders could very well win it.
Angels and ministers of grace defend us
Rickie Fowler (+705)
Fowler won the 2015 AAM Scottish Open at Gullane Golf Club, defeating Raphaël Jacquelin and Matt Kuchar by one stroke and becoming only the second American to win the tourney since 1997. Additionally, he finished tied for 8th place in 2014. Leaving out a missed cut at the St. Jude Classic, Fowler has been rolling as of late, tying for second in the Memorial Tournament, for 5th in the US Open, and for 3rd place at the Quicken Loans National.
Alex Noren (+1550)
Last year Noren became the first Swede to win the Scottish Open since Johan Edfors in 2006, beating Tyrrell Hatton by one stroke at Castle Stuart Golf Links. He had previously finished tied for 6th place in 2006 and tied for 3rd in 2012. Noren has had three top 15 finishes in his last five events, including a win at the BMW PGA Championship in late May for his 9th European Tour victory.
Rory McIlroy (+905)
Wee Mac shocked many people who bet of golf when he missed the cut in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open Hosted by the Rory Foundation, especially because he entered as the golf betting favourite to win it back-to-back. That's the second missed cut for McIlroy in his last four starts. Some people who bet on golf say Rors will not win the Scottish Open until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill shall come. But that's just another myth.
Fair thoughts and happy hours attend on you
Henrik Stenson (+1550)
The 2016 Open Champion will look to follow in Noren's footsteps and become the fourth Swedish winner of the Scottish Open. He placed T8 in 2012, and finished T3 in 2013. Stenson missed the cut in the US Open and tied for 26th at the Nordea Masters but finished tied for 3rd in the BMW PGA Championship before that and tied for 10th at the BMW International Open afterward.
Matt Kuchar (+1850)
As mentioned above Kuch was one the runner-ups in 2015. Additionally, he tied for 10th place in 2011. Kuchar has not finished worse than T16 in his last four starts, including a T9 in the Byron Nelson and a T4 at the Memorial Tournament.
If we shadows have offended
Patrick Reed (+1850)
Reed has been playing some of his best golf as of late. He has not missed a cut in his last eight outings, a period during which he has seven top 25 finishes. Kind of a golf betting long shot, but Reed could very well win his first European Tour event this weekend.

Last night, the Mall Of Asia Arena was filled to the brim with Swifties and converted Swifties to catch the one-night show of everyone's favorite drop-dead-gorgeous blonde, Taylor Swift. Red Tour Manila was a resounding success and #somuchfeels don't even get to describe the overall experience of seeing this girl perform her oh-so-relatable songs. Since her last visit to the Philippines, Taylor has cut her hair to a fab long bob, has mixed it up in the fashion department, has definitely improved singing live (oh yes!), and is fiercer than ever!
Missed the show or not, we suggest you launch the gallery to see T-Swizzle in her red, hot, and definitely fab concert outfits!

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Rory McIlroy attacks press conferences the same way he does golf courses. He's generally careful, thoughtful, and reserved, but with some regularity he'll fire some salvo that unwittingly forces himself into one of golf's daily pseudo-controversies, the equivalent of one of the wedges he occasionally sails long and left into trouble.
During his remarks Wednesday, McIlroy didn't take any hot-button issues head-on, deflecting questions on the controversial setup at Chambers Bay and staying relatively complimentary of the USGA. It was a fitting approach for the week — he'll be approaching Shinnecock Hills in much the same way.
"I think I'll adopt quite a conservative strategy off the tee," McIlroy said. "You're hitting into big targets. So even if you're leaving yourself back and maybe hitting a couple of extra clubs into these greens, it's not such a bad thing. I'd rather be doing that than hacking my way out of the rough."
There's more gray on McIlroy's head now, and perhaps more nostalgia within. Several times throughout the presser he referenced Long Island's courses reminding him of "back home" and said appreciated the area's tributes to the origins of the game. As for his favorite U.S. Opens? McIlroy began to list them off, beginning with '99 and Payne Stewart, then Tiger Woods in 2000 ("obviously") and then Bethpage in '02. It was clear McIlroy could have kept going, but caught himself.
"Hopefully, there's a kid out there somewhere that's watching it these days and wants to play in these championships as well, emulate us," he said. The exchange harkened back to McIlroy's comments from two years ago, when he stated he felt no obligation to "grow the game." It was also a reminder that now more than ever, McIlroy thinks hard about what was, and what is, and what ought to be.
Of course, he dipped his toes in some of golf's hot-button issues, too.
— The new playoff format? "I'd say it's 80 percent positive, 20 percent negative."
— The course setup? "Honestly, I think they've got it right."
— The high-powered feature groups? "You can put whoever you want together, and any grouping is going to be exciting. But, yeah, I don't know if it's just a little bit contrived for my liking." All fair, and insightful, and relatively down-the-middle.
McIlroy has certainly settled in at Shinnecock and the surrounding area, having played National Golf Links, Friar's Head and Garden City Golf Club over the last several days. He speaks knowledgably about the area, citing the "Montauk Highway" and "LIE" (Long Island Expressway) like any weekend warrior escaping New York City for the Hamptons. And fear not, traffic-watchers — McIlroy's commute this week is very doable: just three minutes, door-to-door.
"Not a bad place to spend a couple weeks in the summer," he said.
McIlroy wasn't asked a single question about Tiger Woods on Wednesday, which is a rarity. But it seemed telling that he brought up Woods of his own accord, suggesting that the former world No. 1's reappearance has been key to the success of other young Americans.
"They have probably a couple of guys — but one in particular — that they try to emulate," McIlroy said. "He's back out here playing, and he's become a friend of theirs."
What remains unclear is whether McIlroy, who's friendly with but not particularly close to most of his peers on tour, will seek to assume a similar role. "I'm obviously not that old," the 29-year-old said at one point, though he seemed older just by saying so. What seems more obvious is that McIlroy is enjoying his time here, and golf in general, more than he did before. The NYC-area golf course jaunts? They're just for fun, and that's new. "For maybe five or six years, I never played fun golf. It was all to do with getting ready to play tournaments, and I didn't understand people that went out and played a lot."
All talk of fun and patience is relative, of course. Still majorless since Valhalla in 2014, McIlroy remains one of the game's foremost competitors. It's only natural that he's antsy to get back in big-time competition Thursday, teeing off at 8:02 a.m. alongside Phil Mickelson and Jordan Spieth.
"I'm happy I've got an early tee time," McIlroy said. "It feels like I've been here for quite a while, so anxious to get started tomorrow."

Whats your first reaction when you see someone with a wrist full of bracelets? Do you instantly get annoyed because of how much noise it makes? Or are you fascinated with what each bracelet might mean?
Today I am here to open your eyes about the significance of wrist jewelry and why you SHOULD be fascinated! In the past bracelets were a sign of many things. They either represented what a person or family believed, what they needed in their current life, a right of passage, or the meaning of a social status. Intrigued yet?
Here are some interesting facts about wrist jewlwery/bracelets:
- In Egypt, Sacrab bracelets stood for rebirth or regeneration.
- In india, the number of bracelets on a woman's wrist denotes her marital status.
- In China, the parents gift their children with a bracelet containing a jade stone representing protection and healing. This was and still is believed to even heal from any stomach and kidney diseases.
- In Bulgaria, a specific bracelet called Martis is used to protect an individual from the sun.
- In Mesopotamia, the women wore certain bracelets to show off the wealth of their husbands!
As for myself, I prefer to wear bracelets simply because I like how they look. I have never thought about the meaning of bracelets until I was introduced to the idea by a friend after he came back from a trip. This opened my eyes to the many possibilities of the meanings of bracelets!
Please feel free to shop for bracelets from the website below. The jewelry featured on this website is not only stylish but meaningful. Jewelry ranges from necklaces to bracelets to earrings! Enjoy!

On March 22nd, Garmoth the Red Dragon has been added in Black Desert Online KR. Garmoth is a new world boss that appears at Garmoth's Nest, Drieghan, on every Tuesday, Thursday (22:30), and Saturday (23:30).
Related: BDO KR Patch Notes March 22nd - New World Boss, Reformed Nouver/Kutum
Unlike other world bosses, Garmoth has to be "summoned" by the players. After the world notification and the "roar", a group of monsters called the Gaktums and Gaktum Statues will appear. The Gaktums are small monsters worship Garmoth. Players must kill the Gaktums and destroy the Gaktum Statues in order to summon Garmoth. Garmoth is a huge red dragon that is big enough to make Karanda look like a little birdie.
When trying to kill Garmoth, you should always be aware of the 5 statues that are summoned with Garmoth. A system message that says "Garmoth is absorbing magical power from an activated statue!" will appear, and you have to destroy the statues as soon as possible so Garmoth does not absorb the power.
This pattern is not as simple as it seems. There is an activated statue among the five statues, and you have to destroy the right one. If you don't know which one is the activated one, go for the statue that has the most number of Gaktums around it. When attacking the statue, keep in mind that Garmoth is still around you and will try to kill you with a powerful fire breath and fireball. You will lose your crystals when you die during the raid.
Garmoth uses a lot of AoE skills, and the deadliest one is a pattern where a large area of blaze deals massive damage over time on the players within the AoE. The AoE will appear on the screen before Garmoth uses the pattern, but it will be impossible to escape from the area if you are too close to Garmoth. Garmoth will roar before the blazing area starts dealing damage, and the roar will restrict the character's movement.
A pattern where Garmoth shoots multiple fireballs from the air is also deadly. But there are some gaps between the fireballs, so if you are lucky you will be able to survive.
If you are aware of Garmoth's patterns and have enough DP, the raid won't be extremely hard. Dodge Garmoth's attacks on time and destroy the statue, and you will be able to loot Garmoth.
The very first Garmoth raid ended in 16 minutes. Unfortunately, no one got Heart of Garmoth, the material for Reforming Nouver/Kutum off-hands. We changed the channel to Heidel 3 and tried again, but sadly, Garmoth was heartless.

If you use the export method you can make life easier by selecting all the data and copying it into a new Excel spreadsheet. Then select all the data in the spreadsheet and go to Data.Text to Columns. Select Delimited, then select Comma on the next screen. Click Finish. The column labels and data will be aligned and you can add a filter to find specific passwords for sites easily.
While the export method works, I'm also troubled at having a text file in the clear with all my passwords, so I quickly permanently deleted the file once I was done with it. And being as paranoid as I am, I made sure I was not on other web sites or using other connected apps when I downloaded it or used it. If you want to store the file, I highly recommend zipping it using AES 256 encryption with a strong password.

Plot 1
Bad boy meets good girl. They fall in love. Turns out she has cancer. They set out to fulfill her wish list. Tears all around.
Plot 2
Girl is in a coma. Boy moves into her house, is haunted by her spirit and eventually falls in love with her. She comes out of the coma and can no longer remember him. A touching montage later, they meet and she remembers him again. Tears all around.
Plot 3
An underdog football club is about to be shut down. One last game to win a championship. A new coach. Star player. There may be hope after all. Bribe, betrayal, we're already bored. A change of heart. Together, they win a final, nail biting match. Tears all around.
Oh, Bollywood. Where everything goes and cliché is King (Or Don). People fall in love with ghosts, a ragtag sports team wins a big trophy and Arjun Rampal wins a National Award for having a sum total of three expressions. I can already see you thinking Oh here comes another Bollywood rant. Well, let me tell you something, this is not what it sounds like. (Kahani mein twist! Twist! Twist!).
Two out of three of these plots are movies that came out of shiny Hollywood. Numero uno, a bad boy-good girl-killer disease love triangle is the Mandy Moore starrer, A walk to remember. The second, Just like Heaven, has the depressed, really hot Mark Ruffalo bringing back Reese Witherspoon's memory of her coma adventures just by touching her. The last one comes from closer home. Dhan dhana dhan goal. The one with Arshad Warsi? No? It had John Abraham. No? Billo Rani. Yeeeaah, I see realisation.
Bollywood haters amaze me. "Hindi movies are unrealistic, they're not as good as English movies and they're filmy." Do you even know how annoying you sound and where did that term even come from? Filmy. Paintings aren't paintingy, music isn't musicy. And, well, they should be. Films must be filmy, they can't make writingy films, now can they?
Cinema is cinema. There is good cinema and there is bad cinema. Resources and money can only do so much. You could argue that the ratio of bad movies to good movies in Hollywood is lower than it is here. But that doesn't change the fact that they make a lot of movies that are complete turkeys too. Let me give you a couple of examples: 2012. John Carter. Every Kate Hudson movie ever. Sure, they do some genres better than we do. They have The Bourne series (The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum). We have the Khiladi series, (Khiladi No. 1, Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi.) I hear Khiladiyon ke Khiladi mein chupe hue Khiladiyon se Khelne waale Anari No. 1 is in production. But we also have Kahani, Udaan, Paan Singh Tomar, Dev D, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Maqbool, Omkara and Kaminey. We are definitely an evolving audience. We are proving, albeit slowly, that it is a good story that commands viewership, not where it's made.
I'm not defending bad Bollywood here. I mean, the only way I can defend cinematic masterpieces like Bodyguard or Housefull is if I say, "But at least it was better than hammering a nail into your own eye." I kid, of course. The nail-eye thing sounds like so much more fun.
And you bashers, before you say that you're too good for Hindi cinema, think a little bit about how annoying Laura Prepon's character was in How I met your mother. "Salt. So bourgeois." Yeah, you're that person, only less hot.

Ubisoft first showed off Assassin's Creed Origins during the Microsoft conference at E3 2017. The game is a stunning open-world depiction of ancient Egypt, and its gameplay proves just that. Xbox One X will launch this coming November, and apparently it'll be receiving the best version of Assassin's Creed Origins.
Microsoft's new system will be providing developers with miles of new power to tap into. Games have the potential to reach greater heights, both visually and technically. How developers choose to utilize the hardware is unknown, but it seems clear how Assassin's Creed Origins will use it.
Fidelity and frame rate are two of the most highly talked about features in a game. Many are wondering what will be the ultimate performance of the Xbox One X version of Assassin's Creed, particularly in comparison to other platforms. In an interview with We Write Things, Assassin's Creed Origins director Ashraf Ismail talked about the Xbox One X.
"It has been a pleasure working on Scorpio. It has been quite easy to have our game running at a really high fidelity very quickly. With Xbox One X, the game is beautiful. Kudos to our artists, engineers and technical directors, the game looks absolutely stunning. I think with Xbox One X, its the most beautiful version we have because it's rendering at a high resolution. We have more RAM to play with. There's a lot more tools at our disposal to showcase our creative work," Ismail said.
The system is powerful and the game is beautiful, as is evidence of the gameplay shown so far. Ubisoft is preparing to launch the game in a month and a half from now, and that is when we'll see it in all its glory. But is the Xbox One X version really the best version?
"From an open-world game standpoint, it's really valuable for us. The experience of the game is the same across all of the different platforms. We try to make sure the game shines on every platform the best it can. Having said that, the Xbox One X version is absolutely the most beautiful version," Ismail said.
Gamers won't be able to play Assassin's Creed Origins until Oct. 27. The game will be available on Xbox One X, Xbox One, PS4 Pro, PS4 and PC. Those looking to check out the Xbox One X version can do so when the system launches on Nov. 7. Stick around here at We Write Things for more from our chat with Ismail.

- Names and Identity
- The Community
The basis of the novel "Beloved" by American writer Tony Morrison is based on real events. Events take place in the late 19th century in America immediately after the Civil War, the heroines and heroes are slaves or former slaves, and the author very vividly describes the terrible realities of their mutilated destinies. But the book is actually not so much about slavery and the eternal confrontation of black and white, as about the inner world of man, or rather, about the most hidden part of it – the internal demons. Despair and lack of opportunities generate poverty, poverty reduces the threshold of acceptable, lowering the threshold leads to degradation of the individual. Every novel hero has his own internal anxieties, different, but equally terrible because they corrode the person from within and do not even allow him to think about raising his head and looking around, trying to find a way to freedom.
In the novel, with the help of skillful metaphors, it shows how a terrible past penetrates and destroys a person, how addiction develops, how the past interferes and how it gains strength over the future. How real the past is, how it affects the life of the victim, even if it exists only in her imagination. And how insanely difficult it is to tell the swelling past from your attention.
As for Tony Morrison "Beloved", the novel is filled with so much pain in each page. One needs to be prepared to understand those who felt this pain when people were divided into people and something lower than animals – slaves. The book is full of vital themes, which we want to demonstrate to you.
The Slavery Themes
The beloved is filled with emotional, spiritual and even physical devastation, which is caused by slavery. Moreover, this devastation continues to be present in characters who are former slaves, despite the fact that they are at freedom.
The author shows the most terrible consequence of slavery – a negative influence on the feelings and emotions of former slaves. The novel contains several vivid examples of the characters' self-alienation.
The alienation of the character Paul D is so strong that he cannot understand whether the cry that he hears him or a stranger. Strongly influenced by the fact that slaves were told that they are not human, and the goods and their value is expressed in dollars. After that, Paul D doubts that is he a real person and often asks himself about his value.
The same fate happened with Sethe, who was also considered to be a non-human. She is full of disgust for herself and feels alienated from herself.
The character Denver inclines his personality to the Beloved, the Beloved begins to feel that she physically dissolves. Similarly, the reader can see that slavery has limited the self-esteem of the Baby Suggs's, destroying her family and depriving them of the opportunity to be a wife, mother, sister, and daughter.
Family Love Themes
This novel shows not such kind of love that the reader expects to see. The author provides an opportunity to get acquainted with such a love from which the reader begins to tremble and even cry.
Slavery did not give the opportunity to form a family and everyday love. The marriage of Sethe and Halle did not involve any ceremony, but she wanted to do something special for the day of their family's creation. So she made a dress.
Baby Suggs did not have the right to create a family but instead had 8 children from different fathers. She often wonders what her mother was like. Was she a faithful wife and a loving mother? However, she will never know the answers to all these questions, since slavery is against the formation of families. In spite of this, the desire to be a family is very strong.
Slavery continues to interfere with the life of the characters, a vivid example of this is when Sethe begins to think that she must kill her children so that they are safe. Because of the love of Seth to their children, they are condemned to suffering.
Stamp Paid was forced to give his wife into sexual slavery to his master for a whole year.
Denver tears herself away from such domineering love and leaves to find a job. She does this because she loves her mother, which reflects the emergence of adequate family relationships.
The author shows that as soon as there is love or there is a family, slavery interferes with the destructive power.
Sexuality and Power Themes
The theme of sexuality arises in this novel and often has the personification of power. In the novel, sexuality arises both in love and in power. For example, sexuality in the relationship between Paul and Seth is the outpouring of love. Also, when Sethe and Halle are on their way to the mix in corn and start their relationship. But, most of the time for slaves and former slaves, sexuality is personified by Power.
The proximity of Sethe and Paul D leads to the indignation of the Beloved, which encourages her to use her sexuality to become between them. She takes Paul out of Sethe's room in order to seduce him. This humiliates Paul D, because he does not want to have any relationship with her and he cannot do anything to resist. The sexuality of the Beloved is a powerful and destructive force between Paul D and Sethe's.
In most cases, sexuality acts as a terrible force over black women. Sethe's mother was repeatedly raped by white men. Stump's wife was in sexual slavery with the owner, one woman tells that she was raped by the father and son. Women were broken by the power of men.
The History Themes
Throughout the novel, readers see how characters try to get rid of the wounds of the past. All the characters with great difficulty try to forget the past and want to leave in memory only a couple of sweet memories. For example, the Beloved is that past that is pursued by Sethe. She killed her daughter for protection, but she cannot cope with this. This past made her a society's hermit, she was fired from work and she was alone with her bitter past. The failure of Sethe to escape and cope with his past is evidenced by the fact that the slaves were under the strong impression from a past life.
Only thanks to love for Denver, Paul D, and the black community, she will be able to cast away terrible memories and past life. She will be able to understand that she still has a future that she can create with her family.
Names and Identity Themes
The own name is the personification of self-esteem and freedom. If there is a name, it shows statehood and oppression. White people are demonstrated as those who have absolutely any freedom in relation to slaves. They could call them anything, depending on their mood, situation or behavior. For example, Paul D is simply named after the letters of the alphabet. Because of this Paul D feels a constant frustration of the personality, I'll take care of myself and courage. It was believed that you can do anything with slaves, treat as you like, call anything as slaves were community or property.
It does not matter to white people whether slaves have names or not. They are grouped for them by only one factor. This factor is their cost. White people put the price on a man who should remain priceless and reduce it not to the fact that he is a human, but to the fact that he is like a thing. With similar names, the author reveals the history of colored loss of identity and racism.
The Community Themes
The author demonstrates how much people need the support of their communities in order to continue to exist. Throughout their life they are victims, they can rely only on each other. Since slavery does not provide for the formation of a family, the community is a substitute for the family.
Paul D was able to escape with other prisoners only because they cooperated with each other. Sethe and Denver were alienated from the community. Because of this isolation, they became completely vulnerable to the Beloved and they do not have anyone who can protect them.
The community turned away from this family, they did not warn Sethe about the approximation of the sheriff. When Paul D leaves Sethe, the community not only does not accept him but also accuses him of the fact that he defrauds the activities of Sethe. When in this property people do not stand each other over the rug, they have no support.
The community takes the Sethe's story and pain and they decide to get rid of it all together through collective exorcism. Thanks to the community, she gets rid of the haunting past and opens herself up for the future.

Every episode I can't expect things to get any worse for Andy, but the intro to this week's episode totally proved me wrong. The workers in the office witness a very sun-burnt and delirious Andy who is stranded at sea. After successfully managing to lose his only two sources of drinking water, he then loses the laptop and all contact with Andy is lost through a watery lens. Continue reading

Perhaps the scariest thing about this Halloween episode is that it is the last Halloween episode of The Office ever. Sigh. But before I go off on too much of a tangent, let's talk about the intro, which I can adequately describe in one word – Hysterical. Dwight scares Erin by effortlessly putting his head inside of a pumpkin – if only it was as simple to get it out. Continue reading
Andy's Ancestry8 Oct
I wish I had already seen the intro to this episode before I wrote Favorite Jim & Dwight Pranks, because this may have been included. The workday begins just like any other in the office, until Dwight notices Jim's new appearance – Asian Jim that is! A baffled Dwight puts the supposed Jim through a series of tests to assess his true identity, in which "Jim" passes them all. Continue reading
