Whenever an epidemic broke out, people blamed Jews for poisoning the wells...even though they usually died in greater numbers due to their poverty and unsanitary living conditions, imposed upon them by the dominant group (Christians). The were accused of draining the blood from Christian children to use in cult rituals...about as stupid an assertion as there is, even prompting several Popes and Bishops to decry the accusations as base fabrications. Israel, like the CIA reserves the right to engage in clandestine operations, but to think they would have mounted this attack is ridiculous...too sloppy for them...but it's consistent with other such charges throughout history...and the injustice of it is part of the good reason Jews were cornered as they were for 2000 years and why they came back with a vengence.

I am not still with that boyfriend I had through a large chunk of this blog's lifespan, but I am choosing not to feel guilt or remorse for any longer. I am content with my decision because I know that it is what God wanted for me and for my life and for that boy's life also, even if it does feel broken and sad and hollow when thought about for too long. We had a beautiful relationship and friendship, but it was unhealthy in a way I did not know how to fix, and I do not think it was meant to be fixed then, or possibly ever, that we would have to be reborn and fixed independently of one another with Christ first.
That being said, I feel like my falling apart and breaking of several ties brought me closer to God and finally to the right kind of love that for a long time I didn't feel as though I deserved, as though I could obtain, and as though I would ever have. It helped me understand the truth, and it helped enlighten me and move towards who I am and what I want to become in Christ. It excites me, really, thinking of my potential and seeing it lived out in some few but shining people in my life.
Anyways, also, in this short but amazing period of time, another guy has become pretty significant to my life (behind Jesus, of course). His name is Travis, and from what I understand God's been shoving us towards each other for a long time now. He honestly painted this masterpiece of a story of how he had fancied me for a long time and it was just recently in these past few weeks that he had gotten the courage and felt God's strength work in his heart to begin this friendship first, but now it is this beautiful relationship that feels good and pure and just like everything I had hoped a relationship would be (not without faults, but with an undeniable enthusiasm and base in Christ). I am so thankful to God for this journey so amazing in retrospect and so miraculous to have been nearly impossible at all other times but now. I will most likely write in some detail about this new love story and my even greater overarching love story, but these things will come in good time. Until then, I have many presentations and papers and tests that are to be done, but I shall be around here and there.
P.S. I cut my hair short again and have (accidentally) lost a few pounds. Things are definitely always, always looking up.

Childish Gambino's second full-length provokes a lot of thoughts without settling on any of them.
I've been trying to figure out what to write about Childish Gambino's new album for about three days straight. So far, here's what I've got:
– It's called Because The Internet, which seems like it's missing a word somewhere. He could've at least #hashtagged it. Over time the title feels like an explanation of sorts. Like: "Q: Why'd you put so many links in this blog post? A: Because the Internet."
– I want to refer to him as "Donald Glover" instead of "Childish Gambino" during this blog post, but that seems disrespectful. Then again, he used a Wu Tang Name Generator to create his (admittedly awesome) rap name, so how disrespectful can it be?
– My official Wu-Name is "Top-Heavy Hookjaw". Anyway…
– As you might guess from the album title, there's a lot of techospeak on these songs. They're mostly used for puns (my two favorites come right in a row on the song "WORLDSTAR", itself a reference to this popular site: "She on Hollywood and Vine/ thinkin' that she Hollywood on Vine./ Making movies with her friends all the time./ Showin' off her ass, that's a net twerk.") but if there's a theme running through the record, it's the intense paranoia and self-doubt that comes from the interconnected age we live in. Specifically, it centers on how that kind of effervescent paranoia relates to Gambino's personal life and his interactions with people as a celebrity.
– That being said, there's not much of a narrative here—instead, it seems like we're being treated to random thoughts and ideas that morph and splinter in a naturally (to my ears anyway) disjointed fashion. In fact, this whole album seems completely devoid of a traditional story, which is especially surprising when you consider how much of a through-line his debut Camp had with its 'lost summer love letters' vibe. As luck would have it, Gambino released a full screenplay tonight that portends to make sense of the album's disparate elements (spoiler alert: it doesn't).
– It's going to be tempting to read this album as Gambino's "drug record" from the way it combines scattered sonic templates with philosophical musings. A term like that seems really diminishing to me, though, like you can just brush aside some of these ideas. Let me put it this way: I'm sure drugs were involved in the making of this record, but I'd rather see them as a helpful addition than as a hinderance. Very few of these songs end in the same place they start, although many of the ones that do ("Sweatpants", "3005", "Shadows") are favorites. This jumping around can be fortunate when Gambino is doing something that doesn't quite work, but it can also be frustrating when he stumbles on something interesting and just moves on. My absolute favorite track on Before The Internet is the interlude-esque "The Party", an achingly short half minute of blistering rap that's cut off right when it sounds like Gambino's working himself into a frenzy. I'll never know if he can sustain a whole song like that, but I'd like to find out.
– The general "skipping around" nature of the album really makes the case that Gambino's been listening to a lot of Frank Ocean. I've spoken to some people who complain that Gambino is "stealing flows" all over this album, mainly Kendrick Lamar and Drake. I can hear some similar cadences, but my answer to "flow stealing" critiques is (and has been) always the same: you can't fault someone for rapping well in a rhythm that reminds you of someone else's style.
– Because he IS a talented rapper, especially when it comes to turning a punchline. There's a lot of moments on this album that could be their own bulleted list, and his turns of phrase can be ridiculously entertaining. (Even the cheesy ones are particularly memorable—"patience/doctor" line in "3005", I'm looking at you.) Ultimately, this record's laurels will rest on whether he created an environment that people will want to go back to, either by getting his emotions across or writing good songs.
– Here's the thing, and why I don't see myself coming back to Because The Internet in a year: I don't think he wrote that many good songs. The whole lumpy, sample-and-trumpet-laden mess is interesting, for sure. But only a few of these songs have hooks that really sink in, and often he's rapping too quickly for the emotion to get across.
– Part of me wonders if this entire record is in some (unconscious) way a full-length reaction to Pitchfork's eviscerating review of Gambino's debut album. (In turn, I've always thought of that review as an 1300-word overblown response to a single line on Camp: "Pitchfork only like rappers that crazy or hood". Man, they've got beef. At this rate Pitchfork's going to do a feature claiming Childish Gambino as the worst rapper alive.)
– I don't think Gambino's quite sure what his "sound" is yet, but he's a talented enough rapper that he can make every sub-genre work, at least a little bit. Look at the difference between Camp (for all their harshness, Pitchfork did get their "Kanye crate-digging" criticisms right), the Beck-produced trap on Royalty, his verse on Chance The Rapper's jazz-influenced Acid Rap, and the way this album dances right up to the edge of psychedelia. He might still be figuring himself out. (Actually, scratch that—he's definitely still figuring himself out.)
– Regardless of the motivation, this is the longest "First Impressions" post I've ever written. So maybe Childish Gambino got what he wanted.
– Maybe he doesn't care if this record "stands the test of time". Maybe that's the point of this whole album. After all, why put yourself out like this if you're nervous about what people think of you? Well…that's just what we do these days. Because the Internet.
Favorite Tracks: "The Party", "Sweatpants", "The Worst Guys [Feat. Chance The Rapper]"

Nice to see you, Kyla!
At first it was hard to "see" it in myself, but in time I began to notice not only how I was trying to control the world outside of myself but also the times that I was avoiding someone or something and how I felt as though I didn't have a choice all the time.
Understanding this empowered me in many ways.
Have a great Sunday! We have sunshine today so yay!

Normally, KidsWifi connects wirelessly to your home Wi-Fi network. If you want to place it near your home router, you may prefer to connect it by cable to your router. When connected this way, it may operate at faster speeds.
Connecting by cable is as simple as plugging the cable provided with your KidsWifi (or any other Ethernet cable) into the bottom of your KidsWifi and one of the ports on your router. You KidsWifi will automatically use that connection instead of a wireless one.
If you later decide to connect wirelessly, simply unplug the cable and set your KidsWifi network connection to your home Wi-Fi network.

Kenyans took to the social media to express their anger over the new Sh9 billion scam at the National Youth Service (NYS).
This was after a shocking revelation by Daily Nation that a supplier identified as Ann Wambere Wanjiku Ngirita was paid Sh59 million after supplying 'air' to the youth agency.
"I have never tendered for any supply at NYS. I don't know how to tender. I walked into NYS offices and I was given a Local Purchase Order worth Sh59 million. I don't know where the items were sourced neither what was supplied to NYS," the 30-year-old reportedly told detectives during questioning at the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI).
Using the hashtag #NYSScandal, Kenyans took to Twitter to express their anger over the looting spree that also involved paying of millions of shillings to nonexistent companies and exaggerated prices for goods supplied.
@ItsPetero said: "I run up & down in this city to make ends meet in the most legit n clean way but someone somewhere received illegit & dirty 60m for doing nothing. Its evident Crime is the new career. Ni Sheria kuvunja Sheria."
@Ahmedkadar1 tweeted:"How come we are discussing KABURA SEASON II and no one cares to know what happened to Kabura & Co. in SEASON I? Use your heads!"
@Judiekaberia tweeted: "We pay taxes even with our little earnings but thieves get KES60 million for doing nothing and that KES60 million is from our taxes but poor us we accept this year in year out! Our health sector stinks, we use dilapidated roads, no drainage system etc, kwani hatuchoki."
@JKNjenga said: 'KENYA'S WASTED YEARS
1963 - 1978, 1978 - 2002, 2003 - 2012, 2013 - 2022 TOTAL: 59 Years. And we are now getting ready to waste 2022 to 2032."
@dkwere noted: "I sense the mood around this #NYSscandal is different. Kenyans are (finally) very angry and the rage grows as more details trickle out. We can't celebrate theives when it is next to impossible to earn an honest living in this country. The centre will not hold."
@mwalimu_dida noted:"#NYSscandal Why can't the youths STAND UP against this? I have seen you coming out in thousands to demonstrate for lesser cause. Now the money meant for you is being stolen and all you can do is tweet? You've got this millennials, you have the ability to stop this!"
@carolmwaliwa noted: "Kenyans!! It is now or never!! the cloth of tribalism must be removed! the dress of cowardice must be removed! we walk naked against corruption! we say NEVER AGAIN!! we need our 9B back!"
@VictorMochere said: "The president goes to France and borrows Ksh 2B, goes to Germany and borrows Ksh 3B, goes to China and borrows Ksh 2B, goes to the US and borrows Ksh 2B. Then one thief at NYS steals all the Ksh 9B in one sitting and the president remains quiet! Who bewitched us?"
@Johnstunnaz said: "Its not a matter of tribalism anymore . Corruption will have a far greater divisive effect in Kenya than anything else .I feel sickened when I just think about it . @UKenyatta please do something about this."
What Else would one Expect from a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (Patronized by Blind Shepherds aka UhuRuto)?
When the head of the fish is rotten, there goes the entire fish. Uhuru, please lead the nation or else resign!
The moment this diva got her share she went on a bleaching expedition and came out looking lighter than Michael Jackson. Wonders never ceases. And those eye brows are one for the ages

BLOODY REVOLUTION towards the RULING & OPPOSITION ELITE is the only solution to this evil.All these DEVILS plus their FAMILIES must FACE THE FIRING SQUAD.
Wapi baba aka fake josua, let him lead us resisting products from this companies but do you know baba already got his share and is happy of the looting. Kenya is everyone for himself think this leaders can do shit wait and see big talk little action. kweli we love being kenyans.
If she supplied AIR,then we should commend her for a job well done.what other commodity can you compare with AIR which sustains life?

China sees 10.7% drop in October soybean imports
China's soybean imports in October fell 10.7% from a year earlier, recent customs data showed, as a contraction in the country's pig herd reduced demand for soymeal.
China, the world's top soybean buyer, brought in 6.18 million tonnes of the oilseed last month, down from last year's 6.92 million tonnes, data from the General Administration of Customs showed.
Imports were also 24.6% lower than the 8.2 million tonnes that arrived in September, and the lowest level since March.
According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, China's pig herd shrank by 41% in September versus a year ago, reducing demand for soymeal, a key ingredient in animal feed.
A 16-month-long trade war with the United States, traditionally its second-largest supplier of soybeans, has also curbed imports.
Beijing slapped 25% tariffs on a list of US products including soybeans in July 2018, and added another 5% in duties in September.
China has, however, offered some buyers a tariff waiver to bring in US beans as a goodwill gesture in ongoing trade talks.
For the first nine months of the year, China brought in 70.69 million tonnes of soybeans, down 8.1% from 76.93 million tonnes in the same period last year, customs data showed.

The Hidden Valley Natural Tunnel Hike at South Mountain Park in Phoenix, Arizona is a very popular and difficult 3.4 mile out-and-back hike to a natural rock tunnel formation along with views of downtown Phoenix, Camelback Mountain, and Piestewa Peak. This hike technically follows three trails - Mormon Trail, South Mountain National Trail, and the Hidden Valley Trail.
The hike starts off along the Mormon Trail and quickly ascends South Mountain for the next 1.2 miles. After 1.2 miles, you'll reach a trail junction with the Mormon Trail and the Mormon Loop Trail - stay right at this intersection. You can also take a quick detour (shown in this GPS recording) up the Mormon Loop Trail for 0.1 miles one-way to the top of a hill with spectacular views of downtown Phoenix, Camelback Mountain, and Piestewa Peak.
Continuing on from the first trail junction, you'll hike for an additional 0.2 miles before reaching yet another trail junction with the South Mountain National Trail - take a left-hand turn here. Follow the National Trail for about 0.1 miles until you reach another trail junction - stay right at this trail junction to follow the Hidden Valley Trail.
After reaching the Hidden Valley Trail, you'll reach the Natural Tunnel in just under 0.1 miles. This GPS recording ends just after the Natural Tunnel.
Note: After the Natural Tunnel, the trail hits a small rock cliff - about 10 feet tall or less; however, there's no defined path up to the top of the rock. The trail does continue on to Fat Man's Pass from here, but you'll need to scale the short rock cliff to continue your hike. This recording ends at the back of the Natural Tunnel.

In 2013, the Canada Revenue Agency won the top honours in the Security category at the World Mail Awards in 2013, one of the most prestigious and sought-after prizes in the international mail and logistics industry.
The mail system and security at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) have to be world-class; the CRA has a public responsibility for the security of the hundreds of millions of tax-related documents and materials, including those containing taxpayers' personal information, that pass through its internal systems in any given year.
There are a number of technologies available to help organizations keep a watchful eye on their mail during transit, but what the CRA recently proposed to achieve was nothing less than 100 percent tracking and tracing for every item in transit throughout the entire supply chain. The CRA's first pilot of the Secure Shipment Management System (SMS) took place in 2008, in collaboration with Canada Post and their service provider, Lyngsoe, an early creative blend of government and industry.
Prior to the development of the SMS, the CRA used barcoding tools that required employees to write down tracking numbers. This manual process made it difficult and costly for both the CRA and Canada Post to track delayed or misdirected shipments and documents.
To enhance its mail tracking system, the CRA combined its barcode system with Canada Post's radio frequency identification technology. RFID uses specialized radio frequency tags that can be read remotely by mobile or fixed readers. Although RFID technology is widespread in both the public and the private sectors, the level of tracking that the CRA proposed was new to both the RFID and postal industries. Using a combination of barcode, RFID, and its new SMS software platform now allows the CRA and Canada Post to monitor shipments in real time, from "hand-off" at the dispatch facility, through the Canada Post system, to "hand-over" at the CRA receiving facility. The SMS tracks assets across six time zones and through 60 CRA facilities and additional Canada Post facilities across the country with impeccable results.
With real-time monitoring of our internal shipping network, the CRA can now track 100 percent of all its internal shipments at all times, ensuring the security of material shipments throughout the internal supply chain, and allowing third-parties the ability to monitor their own high-value or sensitive shipments from the moment they enter the CRA's shipping network to final delivery. The business intelligence and performance metrics available through the system also allow the CRA to quickly adjust workforce requirements to meet changing demands, and to simplify procedural and policy requirements for employees processing internal shipments.
The system has also enabled the CRA to implement and manage internal business transformation initiatives by providing a clear snapshot and historical record of its logistics network and emerging trends. For example, the data now available through use of the system has allowed the CRA to consolidate its internal logistics network, resulting in a more cost effective and dynamic distribution network.
Designing and integrating the SMS at the CRA wasn't without its challenges. It required in depth knowledge of current technologies and the development of relationships with our external partners. Overall success was only possible because of the willing collaboration with Canada Post and actively participating CRA employees.
During pilot testing, CRA employees played a crucial role designing and measuring system capabilities, identifying key indicators, and developing business intelligence and critical process procedures to take full advantage of the available technology. Their energy was a key driver.
Great minds and good technology, a willingness to collaborate and exchange information and ideas across government organizations, and partnership with industry, aren't the only ingredients in the successful transformation of government. At the CRA, maintaining public trust by approaching every task and responsibility with integrity is part of the foundation of our core business. Successful transformation of government processes isn't just about saving money, trying new things, or winning awards, it's about doing the right things for the right reasons. In this regard, the World Mail Award is positive recognition of the CRA's ongoing commitment to business transformation and improved service delivery.

First home buyers are delaying or missing the opportunity to get into the property market by not engaging a guarantor on their home loan, new data shows.
According to Mortgage Choice and CoreData's Evolving Great Australian Dream 2018 whitepaper, just 4.9% of all first home buyers said they used a guarantor to purchase their property.
However, bucking the trend are home buyers aged 29 years and below, of which 21.8% had someone go guarantor on their mortgage.
"The data raises the question that many are divided on: Are first home buyers missing an opportunity to get into the property market by not engaging a guarantor?" Mortgage Choice Chief Executive Officer Susan Mitchell said.
Currently, the average first-time buyer needs to put down approximately $100,000 in deposit to secure a property with the median dwelling value of $554,605.
"For many first-time buyers, the biggest hurdle they face is saving a sufficient deposit that amounts to 20% of the purchase price, and this has been made even harder by strong property price growth over recent years," Ms Mitchell said.
The whitepaper found that 40% of buyers would need some form of assistance to enter the property market, as they had just 15% or less of the required deposit for a property.
"The Government's new plan to allow older Australians to stay in their homes for longer, as part of the 'More Choice Longer Life Plan' is likely to hinder the supply of available properties to those looking to buy their first home," Ms Mitchell said.
A variety of factors is making it increasingly difficult for people to achieve the traditional Australian dream, say 86.4% of people asked by Mortgage Choice.
"One way first home buyers can get a leg up onto the property ladder is to access intergenerational wealth, created by the boom in the property market, and ask a parent to be a guarantor by offering their own home as extra security," Ms Mitchell said.
"This strategy lets them get onto the property ladder sooner rather than later, and with a smaller deposit and has the added advantage of avoiding Lenders' Mortgage Insurance, which can total thousands of dollars for cash-strapped first home buyers."
The whitepaper research revealed that on a whole, 15.2% of prospective home buyers across Australia would have someone go guarantor on their loan. This figure dropped to 12.6% for females.
On a state by state comparison, Western Australia had the highest proportion of prospective buyers saying that they would have a guarantor on their mortgage, at 16.5%. They were followed by New South Wales at 13.9% and Victoria at 13.3%.
Of those who purchased with a guarantor, 77.2% said their parents were their guarantor.
Ms Mitchell said it was important for buyers and their prospective guarantor to weigh up the pros and cons before making a decision.
"Having a family member go guarantor on a mortgage is not without risk and as such, no one should jump into the situation until they've given it considerable thought," she said.
"If the first home buyer defaults on their home loan, the guarantor becomes responsible for paying their debt. This can be a significant financial impost for the guarantor as it can affect their ability to cope with their own day to day costs, which in turns compromises their financial wellbeing.
"Their own ability to borrow money will also be reduced after they agree to become a guarantor.
"As a result, it is very important for both the buyer and the guarantor to set clear expectations from the outset and think carefully about their future plans.
"If a buyer has a guarantor on a home loan, it is essential they speak with a qualified mortgage broker and a solicitor to protect both parties. A contract can be drawn up that clearly explains how the loan will be structured and what happens in the event that the borrower defaults on their loan.
"It is helpful to note that a guarantor is not tied to the loan for its entire duration. Once a buyer has built up sufficient equity in their property, a guarantor can apply to be released from the loan, though this may incur a fee.
"Lastly, buyers should always look at their other options as a guarantor is not the only way that someone can purchase a property. A buyer can receive a one-off financial gift to help cover part or all of the cost of the deposit, which reduces the risk to a potential guarantor," concluded Ms Mitchell.
Tips for guarantors and prospective buyers:
- Guarantors and prospective buyers should have deep discussions and plan for the worst case scenario and a 'plan B' such as renting out the property, should unexpected circumstances, such as illness or loss of job, occur that can affect the borrower's ability to make loan repayments.
- Guarantors should also review if they have sufficient funds to afford repayments for a third party's home loan should that become necessary.
Children asking parents to go guarantor should be ready for them to decline with just 21.6% of Australians willing to be a guarantor.
- Finally, if you do decide to go down the guarantor path to help a family member into their home sooner, get a lawyer to draw up a legal document that outlines what happens in a variety of circumstances so everyone is well aware of the potential consequences and goes into any agreements with knowing all possible outcomes.

The design is simplicity itself: a steel case with monocoque construction (the movement's inserted on the dial side) 42mm in diameter, and 10.75mm thick; the exterior of the case is clad in Duratect, which is Citizen's proprietary titanium alloy and which is about 5 times more scratch resistant than standard stainless steels. The crystal is synthetic sapphire. The case exudes solidity; the screw-down crown is protected by crown guards; water resistance is 200 meters and resistance to magnetism is 4800 A/m (amperes per meter). The rechargeable cell inside the watch is a potential point of concern if you're looking for a timepiece that will run indefinitely without any need for a watchmaker's attention, but the manual for the Eco-Drive Tough says, bluntly, that "the energy cell should last for the life of the watch," which given its simple and robust construction, should be a boringly long time… More here.
That's a lot of watch for not a huge amount of money. Lovely clean design.

The development of young Liverpool forward Harry Wilson is inadvertently being harmed by the presences of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at Anfield, according to ex-Reds defender Stephen Warnock.
The 22-year-old had a fine season on loan at Derby County last campaign, scoring 17 times in 46 appearances as the Rams fell agonisingly short of Premier League promotion with a playoff final defeat at the hands of Aston Villa. However, his first-team chances at Liverpool look decidedly slim, with Jurgen Klopp spoilt for choice in attack.
Mane and Salah hit a combined 53 goals in all competitions during 2018/19, helping their side to a sixth European Cup triumph in their history. Roberto Firmino, Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi are also options for Klopp to field up front and all have proven pedigree at the top level.
Speaking to LFC TV, Warnock stated (as quoted by the Daily Star): "

ETF2L 6v6 Season 32 Preseason Map Cup
Created 1st January 2019 @ 17:57
Add A Reply Pages: 1 2 Next »
Please use this thread to offer feedback on:
As the map cup is well underway and most teams have had a chance to play the maps, we would like to read any feedback you might have
isla is a really good and fun map,but there's a bug with the spawn doors where if you stand outside and the enemy open it,you can enter it which means you can spawn camp from the inside. other than that its a nice map to play on and when the bug gets fixed i would love to use it in a season. mabye not s32 but yeah
I really liked logjam but I felt like last was too cramped, like a cross between sunshine and gully last.
Ordinance is unique, I spent a most of the time off-classing heavy because scout didn't really work that well. It was very easy for anyone to run behind your team too without you realising. Hated the rollout to the point though, it felt like everything between spawn and the main building was put there as filler and didnt sort of "go" with the map.
Isla felt unfinished and extremely blocky. Wasn't a major fan of it, but there's potential. Maybe make the ramps that take you onto the point at mid less rigid, give a tiny bit of a sight line between the battlements. Maybe put some windows that can look into the flanks on either side of the point.
I went into all games blind so take it all with a pinch of salt.
Some feedback after day 1 of the map cup.
Isla – played this map a couple of times and there is nothing bad I could really say about this map other than it looks a little bland, gameplay however is very fun.
Ordinance – Not a fan of this map at all, the area between the spawn and the point is huge, the point itself is cramped and disconnected between the top part and the point.
Logjam – Interesting map, lots of flank routes to mid and last. Only played it once so far but I would not mind it being added, not too excited about it either.
edit: typos
Last edited by AstralConfluences,
koth_isla_b14 – I like this map. It looks like sniper isn't as good as product. For soldier you can do some creative jumps on the ramps on each side of the point and the flank routes are pretty good for soldier.
koth_ordinance_b5 – This is the worst map out of the three maps. It's something different than all the other maps, but at some point both teams had a heavy, engi and pyro. As a roamer you can't really flank because of the one-way shutters, and the combo usually holds the only other open place on the map.
cp_logjam_rc8 – This map is probably the best in this cup, but for me it's pretty close with isla. However, it would be interesting to have 2 koth maps in the map pool. So if I have to choose it would probably be koth_isla.
I think it's too bad reckoner wasn't tested in this cup. It's way better than the last time it was played (s28), and I like it more than the three maps played in this cup.
I have one question: If one (or more) maps are good enough, how are you going to decide which maps are going to be removed?
I think that Ordinance is a terrible map as the point is too tight and it becomes too easy to spam especially with the point on the low ground and the high ground all around the point. Isla was an interesting however I think that before it should be considered being added the spawn should be fixed and there should be a third spawn exit. Also, the flank routes are very narrow so they could be possibly widened out in a future version. Logjam was overall my favorite map and I think has real potential to be a good map within ETF2L. It feels good to play and I would like to see it in the league.
Hated ordinance, liked Isla, loved Logjam. Logjam feels like a very interesting mix of granary, sunshine and gullywash; all classes can also do a lot. Isla can be a bit annoying but it's probably the best koth map for 6s I played other than product. Ordinance is awful – way too many ways to flank on mid, mid is extremely cramped, there is a one way shutter that you can trap yourself with, and it all just feels like a worse turbine (if that's even possible) but on koth.
Quoted from KZ jeven
Test this map please (and Reckoner), though it shouldn't even need any testing.
Out of the three cup maps, Logjam is the best. Isla > Ordinance, I don't like the mid point on the latter map.
Last edited by Amaterasu,
koth_isla is actually really fun and i hope it gets added in the near future, on the other hand cp_logjam is a bit of an awkward map, the last is extremely hard to push, the game i've had on it lasted for an hour stalemate most of it.
logjam is really good imo
isla is ok and has potential
wouldn't really want to see ordinance in a league in its current state
ordinance is a no go, please
isla was enjoyable and overall a good koth map,
logjam was amazing, the improvements are really sick and the map is generally very fun to play. But i'm just biased over 5cp
logjam > isla > ordinance.
ordinance and isla are not viable to play in the slightest. logjam is the best option and in my opinion it's better than 4 maps in the current pool (prolands, pronary, snake, product).
I would say logjam is also better than metalworks BUT, reckoner rc2 is imo better than logjam and I don't understand why it's not a staple map in the pool.

A$AP Rocky invited everyone to the cinema last night, but they were not there to see Finding Dory. It was an altogether more chaotic affair, beginning with a mad scramble to attend Everyman Cinema in Baker Street, London. Yes, that street is Sherlock Holmes' headquarters, and fans had to follow the clues laid out in this tweet.
There was to a be screening of the new video for 'What', the song by Playboi Carti and Uno, and Rocky wanted us all there. He was taking it seriously – look at the top billing he's given himself here.
Our man on the scene, photographer Jordan Curtis Hughes, explains: "Once let in, we were made to wait for an hour due to technical difficulties. A$AP come in to apologise. He sat at the back with Playboi Carti & A$AP Ferg and said: "I'm here for Wireless!"
"After a few mins the crowd urged A$AP to freestyle over a beat – a challenge he accepted. A mic was passed to the back and he freestyled for a few mins, much to everyone's enjoyment."
Look at how much everyone's enjoying themselves there. My preferred cinema experience involves buttered popcorn and the latest outing from Studio Ghibli, but each to their own.
Anyway, Jordan reveals that the video was played and "everyone was dancing in their seats. Then they reloaded the video and A$AP/Carti got out of their seats, climbed over seats to the middle and started the madness. A$AP even crowd surfed at one point to get a little further down the cinema."
"After four reloads A$AP was escorted out by security," Jordan says. "He and Carti waited outside taking photos with fans until their taxi arrived."
Four screenings of the same music video. They say cinemas are becoming too expensive, but that is certainly value for money from a free event. What have we learned here? A$AP Rocky is a generous man, but possibly one who loudly rustles his sweet wrappers while watching a film.

When we moved into our house, one of the first things we purchased was the key to happiness in marriage – a King Size bed. I have some back problems so we decided to go big or go home and sprung for one of the Tempurpedic / Memory Foam Sleep-on-Me-and-Everything-in-Life-will-Somehow-be-OK models. We were excited! Problem is, at the same time I refused to move into our Master Bedroom while the depressing purple trailer siding walls + creepy basement "asbestos-look" ceiling tiles were there. Since our lease on our apartment in Franklin was up soon and our only other option was to live with my parents (which my husband had already been doing for 2 months with a very good attitude), we had to suck it up and Tim Gunn it ("make it work") through this first phase of reno.
Now that you understand what kind of horror-film-esque master bedroom "decor" I'm talking about, I am sure that we are on the same page. Since my new mattress was super-huge and SUPER-heavy, my husband refused to carry it upstairs (only to have to carry it back down again), so guess where we slept… the Dining Room!
All the while, the Drywall team was busy further destroying the Master Bedroom –
Drywall is the messiest shi* ever. Think: Lots of goopy putty plopping all over the place combined with dust from the non-stop sanding. For anyone worried that my floors may be ruined, well not technically. BUT I would seriously think twice before allowing this type of activity anywhere near floors that aren't already destined to be refinished in the next few years. Cover them up.
Now for the fun stuff – colors! I wanted dark brown-black walls with soft creamy textures and color. I know what you are thinking: Black Walls!?!) Before you freak out, take a look at these.
Here is a good example of what I was (sort of) going for:
OK, so are you on board now? Either way, here we go:
Getting Closer! The ceilings are nearly finished in the one, and you can tell how yellow-y the old windows were – ew!
Wait for it…
Please forgive the messy bed in that one. And we still have quite a bit of work to do – finish sitting area with rug, furniture, custom closet, move out that chest that belongs upstairs (another piece of furniture that my husband thought he could persuade me to keep downstairs if he just left it there…)
Thank goodness that is over – I'm exhausted just looking through these pictures!

This is the eighth in a series of tips on writing effective C. Today's topic concerns how best to compare two structures (naturally of the same type) for equality. The conventional wisdom is that the only safe way to do this is by explicit member by member comparison, and that one should avoid doing a straight bit (actually byte) comparison using memcmp() because of the problem of padding bytes.
To see why this argument is advanced, one must understand that a compiler is free to place pad bytes between members of a structure so as produce more favorable alignment of the data in memory. Furthermore, the compiler is not obligated to initialize these pad bytes to any particular value. This code fragment illustrates the problem:
typedef struct { uint8_t x; uint8_t pad1; /* Compiler added padding */ uint8_t y; uint8_t pad2; /* Compiler added padding */ } COORD;
void foo(void) { COORD p1 p2;
p1.x = p2.x = 3; p1.y = p2.y = 4; /* Note pad bytes are not initialized */ if (memcmp(&p1, &p2, sizeof(p1)) != 0) { /* We may get here */ } ... }
Thus, it's clear that to avoid these kinds of problems, we must do a member by member comparison. However, before you rush off and start writing these member by member comparison functions, you need to be aware of a gigantic weakness with this approach. To see what I mean, consider the comparison function for my COORD structure. A reasonable implementation might look like this:
bool are_equal(COORD *p1, COORD *p2) { return ((p1->x == p2->x) && (p1->y == p2->y)); }
void foo(void) { COORD p1 p2; p1.x = p2.x = 3; p1.y = p2.y = 4;
if (!are_equal(&p1, &p2)) { /* We should never get here */ } ... }
Now consider what happens if I add a third member z to the COORD structure. My structure definition and function foo() become:
typedef struct { uint8_t x; uint8_t pad1; /* Compiler added padding */ uint8_t y; uint8_t pad2; /* Compiler added padding */ uint8_t z; uint8_t pad3; /* Compiler added padding */ } COORD;
void foo(void) { COORD p1 p2; p1.x = p2.x = 3; p1.y = p2.y = 4; p1.z = 6; p2.z = 5;
if (!are_equal(&p1, &p2) { /* We will not get here */ } ... }
The problem is that I now have to remember to also update the comparison function. Now clearly in a simple case like this, it isn't a big deal. However, in the real world where you might have a 500 line file, with the comparison function buried miles away from the structure declaration, it is way too easy to forget to update the comparison function. The compiler is of no help. Furthermore it's my experience that all too often these sorts of problems can exist for a long time before they are caught. Thus the bottom line, is that member by member comparison has its own set of problems.
So what do I suggest? Well, I think the following is a reasonable approach:
- If there is no way that your structure can change (presumably because of outside constraints such as hardware), then use a member by member comparison.
- If you are working on a system where structure members are aligned on byte boundaries (which is true to the best of my knowledge for all 8 bit processors, and also most 16 bit processors), then use memcmp(). However, you need to think about doing this very carefully if there is the possibility of the code being ported to a platform where alignment is not on an 8 bit boundary.
- If you are working on a system that aligns on a non 8 bit boundary, then you must either use member by member comparison, or take steps to ensure that all the bytes of a structure are initialized using memset() before you start assigning values to the actual members. If you do this, then you can probably use memcmp() with a reasonable amount of confidence.
- If speed is a priority, then clearly memcmp() is the way to go. Just make sure you aren't going to fall into a pothole as you blaze down the road.
Before I leave this topic, I should mention a few esoteric things for you to consider.
If you use the memcmp() approach you are checking for bit equality rather than value equality. Now most of the time they are the same. Sometimes however, they are not. To illustrate this, consider a structure that contains a parameter that is a boolean. If in one structure the parameter has a value of 1, and in the other structure it has a value of 2, then clearly they differ at the bit level, but are essentially the same at a value level. What should you do in this case? Well clearly it's implementation dependent. It does however illustrate the perils of structure comparison.
Finally I should mention issues associated with structures that contain pointers. CS guys like to distinguish between deep and shallow structure comparison. I rarely write code where a deep comparison is required, and so for me it's mostly a non-issue.

Press Releases
Press Release
MSU Denver announces spring 2015 Dimond fellows and lauds achievements of inaugural class
Posted: February 26, 2015
Metropolitan State University of Denver's Rita and Navin Dimond Hotel Management Program announced its spring 2015 fellowship recipients.
The Dimond Fellowship Program, endowed through a generous gift from the Dimond family, was established to foster excellence and passion in future hospitality leaders. Dimond fellows are provided unique professional development opportunities including a paid internship with the executive teams at Stonebridge Companies hotels for one semester as part of their senior experience.
"I learned high-level HR skills that I simply couldn't acquire over my early career in the hospitality field," said Lauren Spagnuolo, a member of the inaugural class and now a human resource manager with Stonebridge Companies. "The fellowship gave me the experience and network I needed to apply for and get a management role in human resources."
Spagnuolo is not the only member of the inaugural class to benefit from the program. After demonstrating their skills as interns, all four previous fellows were offered positions to continue working for Stonebridge Companies in varying capacities.
"I am so pleased with what our inaugural fellows achieved," said Navin Dimond, who is founder, president and CEO of Stonebridge Companies and a member of the MSU Denver Foundation Board. "I am optimistic that the new group of students will excel in the same rich learning environment and be prepared to make a strong impact on the hospitality profession."
About the new class of the Dimond Hotel Management Fellows:
/media/content/schoolofhospitality/TaylorBates.jpgTaylor Bates began helping plan events as a high school student at Westlake Academy in Texas, which was the impetus for her path to MSU Denver and a career in hospitality and event planning.
Bates worked as an intern at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas for a summer and currently works as a sales representative for Michaels Arts & Crafts. She has spent time as a volunteer with UNICEF and Fortress, a youth development center.
By pursuing a career in hospitality and event planning, she hopes to travel widely and experience a variety of cultures while applying his passion for working with and for people.
/media/content/schoolofhospitality/AndrewHensley.jpgAs a fourth generation Coloradan and third son of a retired school teacher and an airline reservations agent, Andrew Hensley has observed and learned significantly from his parents' example of working in service to others.
Hensley chose the hospitality field, wanting to emulate the service provided by his parents, because it most closely aligns with his sensibilities, believing that travel can be an enlightening experience, and can foster understanding among people.
He is currently an employee at the Renaissance Boulder Flatiron Hotel in Broomfield.
/media/content/schoolofhospitality/MayyaMacaleese.jpgMayya Macaleese is an international student from Russia who speaks four languages, including Chinese and Spanish. Having previously been employed at The Broadmoor Hotel as a server for a short time before going back to Russia in 2011, she is now a sales representative at REI and working toward getting direct experience in the hospitality industry again.
"I am glad that my current job helps me improve my social, leadership, communication and professional skills that would be very useful to implement in my future job at a hotel. But, I am eager for this opportunity to get real training in the hospitality industry."
/media/content/schoolofhospitality/SaraOlan.jpgSara Olan, in addition to her position as vice president of the Rocky Mountain Professional Convention Management Association (RMPCMA) student chapter at Metropolitan State University of Denver, currently takes 18 credit hours and works 30 hours a week as a customer service representative for Crate & Barrel, CSG, and Expo Masters.
Fluent in Spanish, Olan admits that "there are definitely times when my life gets really stressful, moments when I wonder to myself if it is all worth it, but in the end, I know that working in this industry is what I want and I know that working as hard as I do will eventually pay off."
/media/content/schoolofhospitality/JessicaPlude.jpgJessica Plude works as a sales consultant for Carmax and is a former manager with Home Depot and Domino's Pizza.
After taking a few years off from school, Plude has recommitted herself to earning her degree and expanding her career opportunities. She wants to combine her passion for the culinary world with her customer service and business background.
"Growing up, I remember my family always reminding me that I should never give up no matter how hard it can be. Looking back, I am glad I never forgot that."
/media/content/schoolofhospitality/BrittineySierra.jpgBrittiney Sierra is a full-time student and the human resources assistant assistant with Argus Event Staffing, LLC.
In addition, she volunteers for Food for Thought and the Special Olympics Colorado while holding positions as treasurer with the Rocky Mountain Chapter of Meeting Professionals International and secretary for the MSU Denver Rotaract Club.
Through her experiences, including a semester abroad, she has developed an interest in the business side of the hospitality industry and plans to pursue that further after graduation.

On the World Map from June 19 2003 , there are ten "pushpin" icons denoting themed community projects. We've already seen four: Lindenberg (Tehama), Wild West Town (Oak Grove), Venice (Bonifacio), and Yamato/Shangri-La (Dore). Two have vanished; one is in fragments; one retains the buildings in more-or-less good shape. None retain any sense of community. Of the four in the Color Sims, only Kazenojin survives — and it is also the only one of the ten which has maintained any continuity of purpose, let alone use, in the years since its founding.
Because of that, and the diligence and care taken by its inheritors, Kazenojin is also the only community project — and the only region of the 47 original sims on the Grid — to have kept an independent history. I am grateful to Huns Valen for answering a query posed to him at SLUniverse, by which he pointed me to the Kazenojin website's history page. I suggest you stop reading this blog for long enough to click on that link (which should open a new tab), read that, and then come back.
Are you back now? Cool… because there's lots to see, beginning with the main deck. The airship permanently docked there (see above) was built by James Argonaut in June, 2003.
That photo of Kazenojin's (and Gray's) earliest days is displayed on a billboard by Nergal Fallingbridge (who I assume also took the original snapshot), September 2003. Nergal also created this representation of a Spitfire, titled "High Flight" after the famous aviator's poem, in mid-August 2003.
Back on the main deck, right next to the billboard, is a certified antique notecard giver (November 2002, by Philip Linden), which hands you this card from August, 2003:
Behind it in that photo is "The Finish Line" lounge — here's a look from outside the observation window:
"SLU" on that sign does not refer to the SLUniverse forum, but to "SL University", about which Huns wrote:
Ananda Sandgrain, Xylor Baysklef, Satai Diaz, and others started up several side projects late in 2003. Second Life University was a project to set up class areas where tutorials and other lectures could be given. To this end, the SLU building was built by Ananda and Xylor in southwest Gray.

Full of fruits and spices, and perhaps lots of brandy, a scratch-made Victorian Christmas cake was a great way to show off wealth. We've developed a wonderful recipe that's rich, dark, moist and delicious. (And yes, we use our own candied peel and other local ingredients in this fruit cake.
You can also take it to the next level with our Similkameen Christmas Fruitcake, which features all sorts of Similkameen dried fruits and nuts.
To give us adequate time to 'feed' your fruitcake enough brandy, this product won't be available for pick up (or delivery) until on or after November 29 but please order as soon as possible.
