The hype machine surrounding the release of Bungie's much anticipated IP, Destiny, was quite remarkable and sure had me going full swing; beating the drum, waving the flag, chanting at the top of my lungs, D-e-s-t-i-n-y!, D-e-s-t-i-n-y! But was it all worth it in the end? Did Destiny deliver on its grandeur and potential as we all hoped it would? A game such as Destiny has too many facets to properly experience and explore in just a single day and as such I've spent 2 full weeks exploring its inner workings.
My beloved wife allowed me the grace of a full week (and then some) unbothered to play the living day lights out of Destiny and play I did! I even had the fortune of lending a hand in the persuasion of a dear friend to buy a Ps4 specifically to play Destiny with me. We gamed together from Tuesday 3:00am when the American servers went live, till the wee hours of Sunday night. Believe me when I say, we delved into every aspect this game has to offer, and have finally resurfaced to tell you all about it.
Sound and Visuals *8.5/10*
As you enter the world of Destiny it's visual appeal is simply stunning. You're initially thrown into Russia where you see humanities once upon a time former glory, now run down and completely undone at its seams. The Earthen sky is something you can spend hours staring up at plush with moving clouds and birds flying above. Water looks free flowing and surreal, however some of the plant-life can seem almost cartoon like when you get up close to it. The musical score put forth as you venture through the land and make for daring escapades expands on the atmosphere almost perfectly.
From Earth you move on to other locations, including the Moon, Venus, and Mars, and while the worlds themselves are beautiful and unique in their own right, there's a strange and vague similarity to them. After playing through Destiny and its various worlds 3 of the 4 (Earth, the Moon, and Mars) all feel like the same place just with a different skin on it. In the opening trailer you see the Traveler produce rain on Mars and I was really hoping to see that when I went there myself, but no such luck. There's a thin semblance of a weather mechanic but its not prominent enough to be apparent unless you're paying attention for it.
On the whole I can say with certainty that any new comer to the game won't be disappointed, but they will be looking for a certain 'je ne sais quoi' which doesn't really ever manifest itself excluding 1 unique location, The Black Garden (the coup de grace of what I was hoping this game would delivery as playable locations). It was a scenic view (that's right, not playable location, but instead just visual eye candy) from this single location that blew my mind. With all of these terra-formed worlds I was crossing my fingers in hopes that we'd maybe be able to see some extreme weather conditions, or truly exotic landscapes altering gameplay every so slightly without being a pain, but it simply wasn't meant to be. Instead the games large and vast locations were stunted by cookie-cutter environments devoid of anything truly inspiring.
Game Mechanics *6.0/10*
I just want to clarify that a games mechanics do not always include the gameplay mechanics and the 2 are often intermingled with one and other. As such I'm using Game Mechanics to focus more on the background / internal workings (ie. connectivity / load times / RNG / etc) rather then gameplay mechanics (ie. fluidity and feel of character / personalization and customization / difficulty / etc).
That being said Destiny has some big shoes to fill in when entering the MMO world. While they had one of the best launches ever in MMO history there has been a rise of connection issues that plague a small portion of the Destiny community even from launch. Furthermore the implementation of the Sony Exclusive content was a complete botch as countless numbers were left wondering where their content was and how to gain access to it. It was only by going onto the forums and finding a fix did people come to realize how to resolve the issue. Myself being one of the masses was quite infuriated that I need to jump through so many hoops just to get the exclusive content I was promised to being with. This faux pas caused a great many to lose out on access to critical gear that would have bolstered the early leveling process.
As if launch issues weren't enough, the game suffers from some pretty mind boggling load times. Originally I thought this was just a small issue which would be resolved between BETA and final release but was shocked to see this be a persistent and concurrent thing. You see as you venture from place to place you need to go to orbit first, then select the planet and mode / location to which you wish to go. While that sounds logical and reasonable the execution of this method has been horribly implemented. The load times to get to Orbit, then Travel to your selected destination, and finally 'arrive' at the planet selected is excessively long. While I've not actually timed it I can say with certainty there's a good 2-3 mins wasted from begin to end.
It wasn't so long ago that load times were the bain of a gamers existence and developers have made great strides to tackle this issue. In an age in which we can have super massive open sandbox worlds the likes of Grand Theft Auto, which allow us to travel vast distances with little to no interruption its sad to see Destiny's scope fall short on this front. To put it bluntly, this issue is disruptive to what is an otherwise pleasant gameplay experience, and is one that just shouldn't exist in this era of gaming.
Apart from insane load times this games RNG (Random Number Generator) is also something that has every player in Destiny rendered speechless on (even to this day). Gear and Weapons are acquired by random drop, given to you as mission reward, or 'decrypted' from an Engram. Like most other MMO's the level of gear is kept standard, White for regular not so great (or common) stuff, Green better (uncommon) stuff, Blue great (epic) stuff, Purple amazing (legendary) stuff, and finally Yellow/Goldish (exotic) stuff. Now keep in mind Engrams bear the same color system as gear, so Blue and Purple are generally what you want to get. There were several good stretches in which I was suffering for an upgrade, and would finally be lucky enough to get the drop in form of an engram but again have it turn into something either not for my class, or something similar or worst then what I had already equipped (which wasn't all to great). You see finding an engram of high quality (epic or legendary) doesn't mean it will decrypt into an appropriately matching colored item. Nay nay my good friends, it often turns into junk, which leaves us as players mildly infuriated. It's due to this inept level of RNG that gearing up is almost truly left to the luck of the draw.
Snapping back to more MMO qualities, at its heart Destiny has us playing often with other people, or at the very least encountering them on our journey. There are particular types of missions called Strikes which in World of Warcraft terms is an Instance. These strikes have you and 2 other people join up and take on an encounter to take down some big bad boss. After a point a Strike Playlist opens up in which you can queue in to run strikes repeatedly over and over again. One of the critical flaws Bungie has over looked is the ability to quickly exit the Playlist when you're done. Presently you need to hold the Triangle button for 10 seconds, which conveniently only activates at the mission report screen, which also coincidentally only lasts….. 10 seconds! This has been a source of rage and frustration not only for those wanting to exit strikes, but also for those who want to start strikes. The reason being that since people can't leave the strike fast enough at the end of their mission they are forced to leave at the start of the next one, and of course that means you're leaving a team stranded. It's not by fault of the gamers themselves but truly a design issue which needs to be tweaked in order to avoid such occurrences.
A major dilemma fallen upon is the games lack of inter-player communication. Players are forced to have a mic and physically speak with one another by joining a Fireteam (party), or need to go to the Bungie website and interact on the forums there. The game also has a Clan (read as guild) feature however even the implementation of that has been botched beyond recognition. During my BETA days I joined up with a Clan and was puzzled to see that the Clan itself was divided by Members and Clanmates. Unlike other MMO player-based groups this really seemed odd as it inherently creates a divide for those whom join a Clan. To make matters worst there was a Clanmate limit of 75 people, yet again even more built-in division and incoherence. Getting people to join your clan is already quite a task as you need to raid the forums and promote the living daylights out of your group. The true joke only comes as you begin to get members into the clan, and then seek to bump them up to the clanmate status. The process of 'promotion' has got to be one of the most aggravating experiences this game drags you through. The amount of work needed to make a member a clanmate is so counter intuitive to what should be a fun that you almost don't even want to have a clan at all, heck we've seen some folks just up and leave the clan on account of it.
Matching up in-game with non-friends is also clunky and inconvenient as you need to utilize the console platform to do so. Even if you're part of a Clan there's no clan-chat or feature like that. So Clanmates and subsequent clan members have no way to communicate with each other other then to login to the Clan Forum. Our clan was so starved for the need of a chat function that we resorted to using the phone application Whatsapp and created a group there for us to chat live with each other. The failure for Bungie to see the need for at the very least, clanmates and members, to talk with each other without a voice seems extremely short sighted. At least give the players the option and if they don't want to talk or chat, then they can decide for themselves, but to arbitrarily make that decision for them is to deprive us of what is one the most basic human actions, communication.
Gameplay *7.6/10*
Destiny's gameplay is bar none one of the best I've ever encountered in any game to date. Again I generally stay away from the FPS genre however this game has an unnamed special quality that keeps me wanting to play more on a daily basis (take this with a major grain of salt). The games 3 classes of characters to select from (Titan / Warlock / and Hunter) each have their own unique style of play yet bare a comforting familiarity to one another. Each class can select from one of 2 specializations to play from which have their own unique benefits, and this certainly keeps things fresh depending on the situation you're in and the needs you have to beat it. Unlike other MMO's which seeks to create classes vastly different from each other causing an inherent imbalance in gameplay, Destiny does a pretty great job at keeping things at an even keel across its 3 classes and subsequent 6 total subclasses. The games various modes of play, Story, Strike, Explore, Nightfalls, and eventually Raids all have different difficulty levels to which you the player can adjust. A true delight with the games difficulty settings is that each tier of difficulty is truly that much harder to beat. Even if you're geared to the extreme there's still a challenge in it for you and that is something to be commended in today's max-out-roflstomp gaming culture.
Even with all that praise just a moment ago we're once again hit with another staggering problem. This one being one of the more monotonous aspects offered up revolves around the Explore and Bounty systems. Explore is effectively the games way of letting you freely roam around each worlds extensively large map. While "Exploring" you can pick-up missions via homing beacons which are scattered all over the place, and have you accomplish certain tasks (ie. go scout this area, go kill this thing, go scan that object, etc). I can only begin to describe the gut wrenching boredom experienced during this 'mode' of play. It's mind numbing impact is felt even more as you travel to different worlds only to realized that every single world has the same exact type of missions. Think that's bad? Well these missions can only be done 1 at a time, and take you back and forth to points already visited on the map. Have I mentioned the maps are huge? If not then let me say the maps are HUGE, so going from the zone you're currently in, to a far reaching point for something as mundane as scouting feels not only like a chore, but severely cripples the flow of gaming. If they would put similar missions to the zone you're in currently in it would help keep players more engaged in the activity rather then mindlessly focused on just accomplishing the already hollow and empty task. So what's a Bounty and how does that fit in? Well Bounty's are unfortunately no different then the Missions encountered during Explore mode, and have you do the almost same mind numbingly boring tasks as missions just on a slightly grander scale (ie. go kill 'X' boss in 'Y' Strike / Collect 'X' item from killing 'Y' enemies / Kill 'X' amount of enemies using 'Y' skill or weapon / etc).
The menu system in Destiny is great, and is kept minimalistic and clean. While some have complained that it's a bit too lacking I find it's a nice change of pace compared to various other bulky menu's that other MMO's have. On that note there's one thing I definitely need added to the games menu system, a faction reputation section. Within the game are various factions (mostly PvP related) but others for PvE as well. You can gain faction reputation by doing various tasks and what not, or equipping a class item which swaps any experience earned as faction reputation towards whichever group you so choose. However the game reveals yet another short coming with this feature as there is no way to view the amount of faction reputation you have without having to physically visit a vendor in the Tower (your home base). The number of times I've wondered how my reputation grind is coming along only to realize that there's no where for me to see this other then wasting 5mins to return to the Tower due to the games asinine loading times left me with quite a begrudging feeling.
Story *3.0/10*
To say Destiny has a story is laughable at best, as there is never any point of context given to the player as incentive to do anything that's being done. You've been resurrected, thrown into a war which you have no idea how it started in the first place, and have no idea who or why you're fighting other then the enemy is called the darkness and the darkness is bad. The darkness also seems to have different races / creatures which make up its legions yet we never fully receive any information about who they are or why they are fighting against you. To play out the story mode in destiny will take you under 10 hours of gameplay and that's being very generous, I was personally able to finish it in about 7hours but then again I was playing non-stop.
So how does one get any form of context in Destiny's story? Well apparently the player is expected to logon to Bungie's site, create an account, and view an in-game collectable card collection (called Grimoires) which has snippets of information on various aspects of the game, from enemies, to items, and characters. These cards can also provide a benefit after a certain point (ie. killing so many of 'X' enemy lets you get more money from it / etc). Here's the catch however, there's no way to view these cards in game! Bungie seriously missed the mark on this, as I can't fathom why they would create a system (the Grimoire cards) which give you a slightly better understanding of story and context, but not have them accessible in game.
Hollow story aside one of the major RPG elements Destiny seems to be lacking is its void of NPC's on its worlds. The only place to see and interact with NPC's is in the Tower. Beyond that there's no other soul out there other then the aforementioned barely interactable players encountered on your journey. This astounding lack of identifiable npc's or anything to help drive the story beyond your trusty Ghost companion leaves players with an empty and soulless experience. There is no context, there is no immersion, and most of all absolutely no connection. As you're being sent forth to kill various legions and factions and critical enemy targets of the darkness you have no idea who you're really fighting against. Names are blurted out as if they have some sense of weight, and menacing tones spoken, but the enemies themselves don't actually interact with you (beyond trying to shoot you dead), making the soon to be slaughter almost pointless. I've taken down Princes, and Priests, and heck even a God! Not a single one of whom have any character or substance to them beyond a bloated health pool and deadly arsenal. How the hell Bungie the masterminds behind the famed Halo franchise could drop the ball so hard on this is something they certainly need to answer to. There are those out there who say the story is meant to be lite and minimalistic, but I promise that as you play, you'll begin to realize that minimalistic actually means non-existent.
To cap this point off I'll leave you with this, the games short experience story wise only ever has 5 people talk to you, 2 of which only say a paragraph of words at best and only near the end of the short campaign. Dinkle-bot (your Ghost), the Speaker, and a Mysterious Stranger are the only people that communicate directly to you on a 'sorta kinda' regular basis. What MMO or RPG have you played lately in which only 5 people at most have speaking rolls towards you? Yeah, I thought so…
Final Thoughts *6.8/10*
Destiny has a fairly long way to go before I can give it a any seal of approval. I in fact feel quite badly about persuading one of my best friends to buy a Ps4 to get this game and play with me because this title in its current form needs some significant changes. This game is lacking in many facets and is frankly not worth its standard price point of $69.99. For a game that's been bragged about as having a roughly half billion dollar development budget, Bungie and Activision don't have much to show for it. They want gamers to be playing this series for up to 10 years, but releasing half baked content like this which is full of holes won't see it past 1 year if they don't take the glaring pitfalls they've created seriously. The rambunctious repetition, aimless plot, and substance less foes have left me utterly disappointed with what was supposed to be a truly exhilarating experience.
Even as I write this review there's a new 'event' being released called the Queen's Wrath, but in true Destiny fashion it fails to deliver on new content. Instead they've rehashed the same old story missions and made players go through them again this time with the difficulty modifier increased. No new story, or plot, or anything, just the same old, made slightly harder, and with a guaranteed legendary loot drop at the end upon completion.
There's been a flood of controversy surrounding this game, people complaining that because there's DLC and Expansions coming that we can't expect a fully developed game. To those people I say you've been brainwashed by the publishers, and they are laughing at every single one of you for it. Not so long ago when you bought a game, you bought the full thing, you didn't have to pay for DLC or Expansions to get the full experience intended from its creators. Today however, you have entire levels, missions, and modes of play that are developed at the time of conception but held back only to be released at a later date in order to maximize profits. Destiny has a long term plan, but with a start as hobbled as this, they Bungie and Activision will have to rethink their strategy. A lot of people have paid for the next 2 expansions upfront, and you can rest assured I'm one of them, but will those expansions deliver where their flagship foundation have failed?
There is certainly a very real and very entertaining aspect about Destiny. I mean I've played nearly 65 hours in just 2 weeks, and I keep going back daily for more. This is proof that at its core the game is not only solid but pretty damn amazing. My only fear is that this certain 'je ne sais quoi' will vanish once I start to desire more story and better enemy persona engagement. Gameplay as is won't keep me active for the proposed 10 years, and may be lucky if I remain active beyond the end of this month. Bungie, Activision, you have some work to do on that next expansion of yours, don't fail the gaming community again, or you'll see your player base deadline and that half billion dollar investment render you broke.

Tourism has connected Indonesians and Israelis
"People on both sides will pay the price of this banning," said Hanny Sobol.09 Juni 2018 03:20

Faisal Assegaf
As there is no diplomatic relationship between two countries, tourism is one of the tool that has connected Indonesian people and Israelis.
But unfortunately, political issues have jeopardize this kind of people to people contact. Since mid of May, the govenrment of Indonesia started to ban Israeli visitors. This ban imposed as a reaction against the killing of Palestinian peaceful demonstrators along the Gaza border with Israel.
Two week later, Israel take similar policy. But then they temporarily lift the ban during June 7-27. After that, it depends on Indonesians. If they continue the ban, Israel will also impose it again.
Hanny Sobol, the head of Israel Tourism and Travel Agents Association (ITTAA), sorries about those latest developments. "Both countries miss an opportunity to bridge conflict instead the travel agents and the tourists paying for political issues. People on both sides will pay the price of this banning," she said in an exclusive interview with Faisal Assegaf from Albalad.co via WhatsApp on Thursday.
How is your response on banning imposed by both countries, Indonesia and Israel?
ITTAA believes that tourism is behind politics. Tourism is the bridge between countries' cultures.
Do you surprise with these latest developments?
ITTAA welcomes Indonesian tourists and we hope that both countries will open the gate for mutual tourism.
How many Indonesian tourists travel to Israel each year?
According to latest news articles, at least 30,000 each year.
And how many Israeli tourists come to Indonesia yearly?
Not many because only Israelis with foreign pasposrts can get a visa or those who invited for business.
Are you disappointed with the banning?
It's not a matter to disappoinment. Both countries miss an opportunity to bridge conflict instead the travel agents and the tourists paying for political issues. People on both sides will pay the price of this banning.
Before the ban imposed, is there any improvement of people to people contact and understanding?
Sure. When people visit our country, see the holy land and our beatuiful sites, meet Israeli people, a closeness is created. And of course that vise versa.
But why until now muslim communities in Indonesia still hate Israel and Jews?
That's a question that you should ask your people.
What is the most favorite place for Indonesia visitors?
Jerusalem of course.
And what about for Israelis who travel to Indonesia?
Bali, Jakarta. Most of Israelis take a guided tour.
How much the lost of Israeli travel agents because of the ban imposed by both countries?
They estimate it as US$ 2-3 millions.
A day or a whole?
A whole.
How may travel agents in Israel that serve Indonesia visitors?
I don't know.
As the head of ITTAA, do ypu put a request to your government to lift ban for Indonesian tourists?
What is their response?
That it should be mutual. As you probably know, Indonesia started the ban.

The last few weeks haven't been the best for the Georgia football team.
It started with the SEC championship game as the Bulldogs blew a double-digit second-half lead to Alabama and its backup quarterback for the second straight season, ultimately costing them another berth in the College Football Playoff.
Then came the news that backup quarterback and five-star talent Justin Fields was likely to transfer. Then on New Year's Day, there was the underwhelming performance in the Sugar Bowl against Texas which resulted in a 28-21 loss — made closer only when the Longhorns took their feet off the gas midway through the fourth quarter. And to top it all off at the end of last week, Georgia lost six underclassmen in one day. As expected, Fields made his transfer official, departing for Ohio State. In another expected move, backup tight end Luke Ford announced his transfer to Illinois. And four juniors who had been considering a jump to the NFL — running back Elijah Holyfield, tight end Isaac Nauta and receivers Riley Ridley and Mecole Hardman — all announced they were leaving town early.
It's been a tough stretch, sure. But the overreaction and suggestion that this program, which is at a level of prominence not seen since the early '80s, is at some sort of crossroads is flat-out ridiculous.
First, look at the Sugar Bowl. Former Georgia running back Tim Worley took to the internet and authored a piece that blasted the team's performance and approach to the game, and he made some decent points. When some players took to Twitter the previous Saturday to mock the College Football Playoff selection committee for leaving them out in favor of Notre Dame and Oklahoma (who were thrashed by Clemson and Alabama, respectively) and then got throttled by Texas, it was a terrible look and they've been rightly ridiculed for it.
Also, the Bulldogs did look complacent and disinterested in being in the Sugar Bowl most of the time. That's understandable to some degree. The Bulldogs had been left out of a playoff that they and many others around the country thought they should have been a part of, and the Sugar Bowl was a consolation game and nothing more than a glorified exhibition. But if you plan to show up, you need to come ready to win. And the superior and more talented team got outplayed and dominated at every turn by a good Texas team that it had underestimated and that was more motivated to get its signature victory under second-year head coach Tom Herman and take a big step toward re-establishing itself as a top-tier power.
It was an embarrassing showing from Georgia and a sour note to end another very strong season on. And yet, it still could have gone very differently.
With Georgia down 7-0 early, punter Jake Camarda appeared to get off a long kick that pinned Texas down at its 6-yard line. But replay showed Camarda take a knee at the Georgia 27 when fielding a low snap. That 67-yard swing enabled Texas to quickly extend its lead to 10-0. The snowball effect continued when Camarda shanked a punt that cost Georgia another chance to pin Texas down deep. And then an uncharacteristic fumble by D'Andre Swift deep in Georgia territory paved the way for another Longhorn touchdown, which made the deficit virtually insurmountable.
Also consider who Georgia didn't have in the bowl game. They were without All-American senior cornerback Deandre Baker, who chose to sit out the game rather than risk injury and possible loss of first-round draft pick status by playing in a game that the Bulldogs stood to gain very little from in the long run. They were without injured senior linebacker D'Andre Walker, whose presence in the second half of the SEC championship game could have thwarted Alabama's comeback by containing quarterback Jalen Hurts on the ground. Georgia had the same problem in the Sugar Bowl stopping Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger.
Georgia was without freshman defensive tackle Jordan Davis, who emerged as a strong force on the interior late in the season and whose absence helped Texas control the line of scrimmage. And it was without defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, who was named Colorado's head coach earlier in the month and opted not to coach in the game.
None of that excuses the woeful offensive performance, and you can play "what if" with almost any game. But without the early mishaps and those critical absences on the defensive side of the ball, the game could have easily gone much differently. If Georgia had been sluggish but done enough to win 21-14 against a good team, some people wouldn't be freaking out like they are.
After Georgia exceeded expectations and came within a hair of winning the national championship last season, I cautioned people about 2018. After losing that many key senior leaders and a generational talent like Roquan Smith at linebacker, it was going to be a tall task to reach the same heights as a year ago. Still, Georgia went 11-1, won the SEC East with ease and went toe-to-toe again with Alabama, which had obliterated every other team in its path and has become the sport's gold standard.
But the Bulldogs couldn't close the deal, and then they laid an egg against Texas. It happens. Georgia still has work to do and has to show it can get over the hump, but there is no question Kirby Smart is keeping things moving in the right direction. The program once again just signed one of its most talented classes ever and might add another piece or two by next month. And it will return another deep and talented squad in 2019 that will almost certainly be ranked in the preseason top five and probably in the top three.
Despite two bad performances in the state of Louisiana, quarterback Jake Fromm had another outstanding season, and if he plays next season like he did against Alabama, he may find himself a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. The early losses of a 1,000-yard rusher in Holyfield, Nauta at tight end and the team's two leading receivers in Ridley and Hardman aren't ideal, but the cupboard will be far from bare. The offense will still have many weapons and a stronger, deeper — and hopefully healthier — offensive line.
Along with the offense, the defense will be deeper, more experienced and more talented overall across the board, and Georgia will also return a great kicker in Rodrigo Blankenship. The pieces have to fall into place, but 2019 can be a very special season for Georgia. That was true before and after the bad night in New Orleans.
A couple of other quick thoughts:
•With regard to Fields, I wish him the best of luck but am glad the distraction is at least over. Obviously, he's a great talent and his loss hurts Georgia in that if Fromm goes down with an injury, the team would have to rely on either Stetson Bennett IV, freshman Dwan Mathis or freshman John Rhys Plumlee (if he still decides to sign) rather than plug in the five-star Fields.
But this situation with how Fields wasn't pleased with his playing time and usage got out of hand. He came to Athens knowing he would have to wrestle the job away from Fromm and he probably thought he could. But unlike one idiot I heard call into an Atlanta radio station last week, I don't see how anyone could accuse Smart of "lying" to Fields. Smart might have hoped the top-rated quarterback in the class of 2018 could outperform Fromm, but he was never going to hand the position to anyone. After stepping in last season for injured starter Jacob Eason, Fromm had a chance to keep the spot after Eason's return, and he did that. Fields was also given the opportunity to become the No. 1 quarterback and he didn't do that.
That's not an indictment of him; Fromm was just that good.
The usage of Fields wasn't perfect and he should not have been taken to the Sugar Bowl if they didn't plan to use him when Fromm was struggling, but he wasn't done wrong. Now, he'll still have to compete with Tate Martell for the starting job at Ohio State and he'll have to be granted a hardship waiver to even be eligible to play next season. It has been reported that he plans to use the Adam Sasser incident as his hardship reason. Sasser, a now-former member of the baseball team, yelled racial slurs at Fields at the Tennessee game, and Georgia took swift, brutal and appropriate action by kicking the racist off the team and yanking his scholarship. It's unfortunate if Fields uses this as his reason because it reflects poorly on the university when it did the right thing by sending Sasser packing.
•In his piece last week, Worley took a shot at Baker for sitting out the Sugar Bowl, which, again, was a glorified exhibition. I was disappointed that Baker chose not to play after first saying that he would, but I understood the decision and his teammates and coaches supported that decision.
Besides it being odd that Worley, who left Georgia after his junior season, would criticize Baker, who chose to return for his senior season when he could have been drafted last year, the dig served no good purpose. Baker, from south Florida, became the first-ever Georgia player to win the Jim Thorpe Award, which honors the nation's top defensive back. His play on the field did more to boost recruiting than his skipping the game did to hamper it. It shows you can come to Georgia from south Florida and be a great player. That surely played a part in the Bulldogs being able to lure highly-touted cornerback Tyrique Stevenson of Miami away from the University of Miami and new Hurricanes head coach Manny Diaz. And it might help play a part in Georgia signing more talented players in the future from one of the most talent-rich areas in the country.

And the move to launch the demo via BPX is an excellent move that will hopefully be repeated with other community solutions.
Next steps – to fully investigate the cross-industry impact of REACH.
Over the last few months, you've been hearing a lot about the REACH Compliance Solution: how it was conceived by SAP, partner TechniData and other bright community minds, using collaboration workspace for SAP and the Business Process Expert community as an incubator. If you missed the success story, you can read it here: REACH Compliance – How the BPX Community Helps the Chemical Industry.
The story was then picked up and eloquently summarized in the SAP INFO online magazine under the title "Reaching REACH Compliance".
Now, the time has finally come to debut the actual REACH Compliance Solution. To see exactly how it works, you can watch this comprehensive demo, presented by Dr. Marko Lange, Industry Business Unit (IBU) Chemicals at SAP. The demo is about 45 minutes, and hosted on the eBizQ.net website.
For more information on the topic, don't miss Kieran O'Connor's blog "BPX Exclusive – REACH Compliance Solution Demo".

Letters to the Editor
Willis letter: Elect Debbie Kling
What is our vision for our children and grandchildren in Nampa? For our residents facing retirement?
Lack of vision and leadership is found in our city leadership. We are paying more in property taxes. What are we getting? Look at downtown, our streets (remember last winter), our parks, our failing attempts to bring good high paying jobs to Nampa, our police and fire protections, our aging wastewater treatment facilities, the city zoning plan and the lack of maintaining that plan.
It is time for a new direction for the city. Debbie Kling is that person. She supports improvements that do not cost taxpayers any money but bring in tax revenues to pay for public services. Debbie is a strong fiscal conservative who has been the driving force for the Nampa Chamber. Under her leadership, the chamber has thrived. Debbie has the leadership experience to get the job done. Debbie has served on numerous national industry and community boards. She has a tremendous love for this community, a passion for the business community and a desire to help others succeed.
Debbie Kling provides the vision, leadership, and fiscal conservatism needed to lead our city. Vote for Debbie Kling for mayor.
Jim Willis, Nampa

First popularized by H.G. Wells in his 1895 novel The Time Machine, time travel has ignited the imagination of audiences and storytellers ever since. As a plot device, it is uniquely suited to exploring philosophical questions around both fate and identity. It intellectually provokes while revealing exciting avenues for plot twists and suspense. Like any storytelling tool, though, it requires a deft hand to employ, and can easily be misused. Fortunately, genre fiction of the past 25 years has no shortage of skilled storytellers.

Unable To Geolocate The Best Solution
(I am calling my cellular provider's call center, because I was charged on my account after I cancelled it due to being in Ireland for an extended period of time.)
Call Center: "We sent you some mobile notifications on these dates, telling you that your vacation hold was ending."
Me: "You sent mobile notifications to my CDMA phone when Europe only has GSM, and you're wondering why I didn't get them? CDMA doesn't work in Europe which is why I put my account on hold."
Call Center: "Well, I'm sorry about that, sir, but it's our policy to send a mobile notification."
Me: "You could have just as easily sent me an email to let me know that my phone that didn't have service would soon be getting service."
Call Center: "I'm sorry, sir, but that's how our system is set up."
Me: "Well your system sure as s*** seems to be able to send me email when I have a new bill that is due. Okay, well, seeing as my account has been cancelled and I can't log in to the website to pay my bill by phone number since it says it doesn't exist, how would you recommend I pay my bill?"
Call Center: "Well, you can walk in and pay your bill in the nearest [Cellular Company] store."
Me: "Sure, I'll go ahead and do that! Can you please tell me where the closest one is to Dublin, Ireland? I'll happily walk in and pay my bill."
Call Center: "We don't have information on that since we don't have service over there."
Me: "So why would you even recommend that option to me?"
Call Center: "Well, the next time you are in the States, you can do that."
Me: "Okay. Next time I make it over to the States, I will pay my bill. Thank you for giving me that permission to not pay until that time." *hangs up*

You're a company or organization trying to uplift the world.
anugraha design's pro bono branding program
Why are you doing pro-bono branding?
I think that awesome branding helps business and organizations. I think every beautiful company deserves a beautiful brand. However, many times start-ups or philanthropic organisations just don't have the budget for the branding they deserve. I want to take away the budgetary barrier that might be keeping an amazing organization from their goals. Secondly, I just really love branding. It's a passion of mine, and so I'm pursuing this as an opportunity to pursue that passion and become even more skilled in it.
What will the company receive?
The company will receive more than just a logo. They'll get our mid-sized branding package, which includes:
• Custom Moodboard
• 3 digitized logo options to consider
• 1 round of revisions on the chosen logo
• A custom business card design that makes the most of the new logo
• A one-page branding guide to help future application of the brand
For more information about our branding process and different packages, go here.
My company already has a logo. Can I apply for a rebranding project?
Absolutely! Established brands can use some love too. This would be especially perfect for a company looking to turn over a new leaf in their business.
Do I have to be a non-profit or charity to apply?
Nope! Any and all kinds of businesses, organisations, and even individuals are encouraged to apply. You should be, however, committed to ethical business practices and making the world a better, easier, or more beautiful place. In the application form you'll be asked to briefly describe that contribution.
Is this really free?
Yep, 100%. The package includes a business card design, so the only expense you might incur would be printing those, but there's no obligation to print the cards. And if you want to print your business cards, your vendor and quantity for printing are totally up to you.
Can I see some examples of previous branding work?
Absolutely, head over to our branding portfolio page.

Municipality Ruše, which is part of the podravska statistical region, measures 61 km2; this ranks it 114th among Slovene municipalities.
Statistical data for 2015 reveal the following:
In the middle of 2015 about 7,150 people (about 3,600 men and 3,550 women) were living in the municipality, which ranks Ruše 72th among Slovene municipalities. The population density was 117 people per square kilometre, which was higher than the national average of 102 people per square kilometre.
The number of live births was lower than the number of deaths, which means that natural increase per 1,000 population in the municipality was negative. It was –1.7 (in Slovenia 0.4). The number of people who moved from the municipality was lower than the number of people who moved into the municipality, so net migration per 1,000 population in the municipality was positive. It was 0.1. The sum of natural increase and net migration per 1,000 population in the municipality was negative. It was –1.5 (in Slovenia 0.6).
The mean age of people in Ruše was 44.0 years, which was higher than the national average (42.6).
As in most Slovene municipalities, in Ruše the number of old people was higher than the number of young people: there were 146 people, aged 65 or more, per 100 people aged 0–14. This ratio shows that the value of the ageing index was higher than the national average of 123. It also shows that the mean age of people in Semič is growing more rapidly than in Slovenia as a whole. Data by sex show that the ageing index for women was in all Slovene municipalities higher than the ageing index for men. In Ruše – as in most Slovene municipalities – more women were 65+ years old than 14 or less; for men the situation was the same.
In the school year 2015/2016 basic school in Ruše was attended by about 450 pupils, while various upper secondary schools were attended by about 250 pupils. There were 30 students and 8 graduates per 1,000 people in the municipality; in Slovenia the averages were 39 per 1,000 and 9 per 1,000, respectively.
Among people aged 15–64 (i.e. working age population) about 55% were persons in employment (i.e. persons in paid employment or self–employed persons), which is less than the national average (58%).
The registered unemployment rate was 16.1%, which is more than the national average (12.3%). As in most Slovene municipalities, more women than men were unemployed.
In Ruše, average monthly gross earnings per person employed by legal persons were about 9% higher than the annual average of monthly earnings for Slovenia; and net earnings about 14% lower.
In 2015, there were 431 dwellings per 1,000 population. About 55% of dwellings had at least three rooms. Average size of dwellings in the municipality was 76 m2.
Every other person in Ruše had a car (51 passenger cars per 100 population); cars in this municipality were on average 9.9 years old.
In 2015, 310 kg of municipal waste per person was collected in Ruše, which is 5 kg less than on average in Slovenia.

The last 24 hours for the Attendee Bundle are here! Don't forget to grab this 4 NPCs for such a low price!

Donut farming is great fun!!
After several years of playing and earning money which there never seemed anything to spend on, I discovered that if I purchased multiple 'rat trap delivery trucks' my XP would go up at a faster rate. This coupled with the 'Xp accelerator' (x5 xp) my donut count went bonkers. I'm now on level 939 and have an excess of those delicious goodies. Hope this helps

I have seen some posts about donut farming lately. Can you give any information about how this can be done? I would like to get some extra free donuts uf possible. Thanks.

Dreamy Dresses
These dresses are by from a couture house in Adelaide (never thought I would combine the words couture and Adelaide in a sentence) called Paolo Sebastian.
The head designer is Paul Vasileff. These are a collection that he did with Disney. Before you scoff at the word Disney, look at the beading work and the whimsy. There is more whimsy here than a Baz Luhrmann film. The detail, the detail, the detail! Bliss.
The romantic in me wishes I could wear these. The realist in me knows I would look like the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella (the animated version) crossed with Edna Turnblad.

Be like this rose bush
Joseph Castaneda
Last month I did some speaking and support raising out in Oregon, and had the opportunity to see my family for a week while doing so. For a few nights, I stayed with my parents and on one beautiful afternoon, my mom and I explored her green thumb handiwork around the yard. My special gardening skill is that the moment I plant something, it begins to die. My mom's special gardening skill is that she could plant a rock and boulder would grow up through the yard. And it would be pretty, too. It's quite impressive.
As we walked around the outside of the house, she showed me her impressive creeping gourds that were climbing all over the front fence. We found a few strawberries, too, (which in October in the Oregon is quite impressive by itself!) and handful of other blooming flowers. We walked around back and saw something else (pumpkins?) growing out of the earth, but then we made a little stop by the front fence at a plant that really caught my attention.
Ok, truth-be-told, it didn't catch my attention, it's what my mom said about this plant that caught my attention. After all, the plant was beautiful but it was just a rose bush. You've seen them before, or maybe you've received the product of a rose bush as a gift from your spouse or boyfriend, or maybe you've smelled them walking through the park. Regardless, if you had seen this bush on that day, you might have admired it's beauty but then moved on to other plants growing throughout my mom's yard.
What stopped me was the story behind this bush: It's a transplant from a rose bush that used to live in Oakland California. When my grandfather passed away in 2001, he had a number of plants and trees growing on his little parcel of inner city concrete. One of them was this rosebush, and one of my uncles carefully dug up the plant, cut off shoots for each of the siblings, and that's how my mom and dad (it was my dad's father that had passed) ended up with this particular plant.
I don't know how long that plant had grown in Oakland, but it's been living the last 16 years in a little side yard in Oregon, continuing it's tradition of producing beautiful flowers each and every year. To my knowledge, none of the other siblings had much success with their shoots, but to their credit, they didn't have my mom's green thumb super power, either.
My mom and I talked a bit about the plant, and later I actually wrote a few things down and started thinking about this blog post. I now realize that one of my life goals is to be like this plant. That's right, I'm trying to live like a transplanted flower. Here are three lessons I'm taking away from this bush's story:
Be tough. This bush didn't get to pick whether or not it got to stay in my grandpa's yard. It didn't get any input into whether or not it would get chopped up into five different plants and then sent nearly 700 miles away to be replanted. To my knowledge, my uncle didn't consult with the plant about what was best for it, instead, he gently hacked it and gave my aunt's and uncles and parents a chance to keep a part of my grandpa's home with them.
In the same way, each of us experiences hardships in life of which we have so little control. (Don't get me wrong, all of us cause plenty of grief in our own lives, but legitimately, things happen that lie far outside our control!) Maybe you were driving home, obeying the laws, even keeping space between you and vehicle in front of you when an out-of-control driver coming the other direction caused a serious accident. You didn't deserve that. You didn't cause it. And yet you have to live with the consequences of someone else's actions. Have you contracted someone else's cold because they showed up to work when they should have called in sick? You ever been cheated by an employee? You ever have something stolen out of your car or back pocket? You ever falsely accused of something?
We all face difficult circumstances in life, and often things that are outside of our desire or control, but each of those experiences gives us the opportunity to learn to develop toughness. You cannot control everything that happens to you in a day, but you can control how you respond. My friend Doug calls it grit: that ability to respond right even when it feels like everything/everyone is against you.
I believe toughness comes from the belief that this life isn't all that we have, and that through Jesus we have hope that gets us through today and prepares us for tomorrow. The writer of Hebrews says, "Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). This hope gives us toughness to endure today's storms while waiting for tomorrow's sunshine.
Be fruitful. I love that my mom's plant continues to produce flowers, season after season, year after year. In the same way, God wants you and I to be fruitful in every aspect of our lives. In fact, in John 15 when Jesus talks about this very issue of fruitfulness, He says the Father cuts and prunes us for one reason: to make us more fruitful! The difficult seasons of life, the good seasons of life, the painful seasons of life, the joyful seasons of life all have one ultimate goal: to make our lives more fruitful for God's glory!
And how do we maintain our fruitfulness? According to verses 5, 9 and 10, we are fruitful when we remain in God's love and we remain in God's love when we live in obedience to God. So our obedience is at the heart of our love and fruitfulness. In other words, no matter what you're going through, no matter how difficult the circumstances, keep true to God and you will continue to be fruitful.
Be beautiful. Not only is this plant fruitful, but it is beautiful. Obviously, I'm not much of a plant guy (understatement!) but I did a double take at this rose bush's beautiful flowers and admired them enough to snap a pic. Despite that massive life-altering experience this perennial Rosaceae endured, it continues to be a bright spot for people who pass by, for the gardener who grooms it and for the God who created it!
Be beautiful to the world around you, and show them the love of Christ from the way you live. In Matthew 5 Jesus said, "Let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and give glory to your Father in Heaven" (Matthew 5:16). Whether that "other" is a godly spouse or a distant stepchild, an unbearable boss or a pleasant co-worker, a lousy neighbor or an elderly shut-in, be beautiful to the people around you so that they see your Jesus.
What do you need to work on this week? Does your toughness need to grow? Do you need to renew your commitment to fruitful obedience? Has your beauty been tainted by your difficult circumstances?
Go ahead and take the plunge, life— and your toughness, fruit and beauty—is better on the water!
