Imagine how much faster you could travel if you could fly or hop to your destination, rather than drive. Self-driving, unmanned drones may be the wave of future transportation in the future. The Ehang 184 was approved for testing in Las Vegas previously, and is now available for use in Dubai for personal transportation needs. The Ehang 184 will serve as a personal mini-helicopter taxi service, that can only hold one person at a time and fly them for up to 23 minutes. This drone has four motors underneath the body, just like a remote-controlled drone toy, which has gained traction for its ability to take cool videos and travel and unsurpassed speeds and heights. Both cities are aiming to adopt this to serve the cities' growing transportation needs. The vehicle is electric-powered which makes it extremely good for the environment, and may eventually be a solution to end our dependency on petroleum for transportation. With just a two-hour charge, the drone can fly for up to 23 minutes at sea level. At higher elevations, the drone can travel with speeds up to 63 miles per hour for 10 minutes. Of course, this is the first self-flying drone intended for human transportation use, and thus, will be improved as new innovations are introduced in the drone industry. In order to fly from one place to another, all a passenger has to do is to use the app to select where they want to travel. The drone can't fly directly anywhere, but must travel from one Ehang landing pad to another. The drone has been, and will be tested to ensure maximum safety before any passengers can fly. The drones are controlled by and monitored by traffic control on land, to ensure maximum safety for everyone involved. In the case of an emergency or malfunction, the drone is instructed to land to the nearest pad. Also, it uses encrypted channels to protect information from hackers.
The first drones were developed for the use of military for target practice in the 1930s. They are now used by the military to pursue targets in volatile areas, with advanced GPS, video, speed, and ammunition capabilities. They are widely used by news, production, photography, sports, and entertainment companies, who are able to get better footage easily as a result of flying to a destination without relying on a human to physically move video cameras. They were recently introduced as a toy and video camera, which caused many to worry about safety problems that may arise from anyone flying an aircraft, especially in heavily populated areas. Amazon, among other businesses, have begun to use drones to deliver products to customers, especially in rural areas. Soon, our skies may be bombarded with drones used for entertainment, transportation, and business purposes.

Posted by Chris.
Some time ago I collected my father after a short stay in the hospital. I realised he was struggling to complete the discharge forms as he couldn't see properly. I told him I would make an appointment with the Optician for him to have new glasses. He told me he had never had his eyes tested before (70 +)! I told him he must have had an eye test as he was wearing glasses. These are not my glasses he told me, they belong to my friend Jeff.
I promptly made an appointment at the Opticians. When we arrived I informed the Optician that these glasses were, in fact, a pair my Dad had got from his friend. My Dad immediately corrected me telling the Optician that these glasses were not Jeff's glasses but my Grandma's glasses (his mother's glasses)!! My Grandma had died at 98 years old and was blind in one eye. Absolutely appalled I told my Dad that Gran was blind in one eye how on earth could he see with them? They're actually really good he said and my friend Jim can see really well with them too! Much to the amusement of the Optician he tested my Dad's eyes and prescribed both reading and distance glasses. To Dad's amazement he could actually see properly for the first time since goodness knows when.
I took him home the proud owner of his new specs and while we were having a cup of tea he handed me a carrier bag. Inside were at least 20 pairs of glasses! I guess I won't be needing these now he told me. I cannot begin to imagine how he had collected so many pairs and the conversations that he and his friends had while trying them on to see which they could see through the best!!
Thank goodness he still had his own teeth!!!

Today marks two things: my one year anniversary at my job (this past year has flown by!) and the fifth day into the 10 Day Salad Challenge led by Brittany of Eating Bird Food. I already love making various types of salads for quick lunches, but this challenge has made it even more fun! I love having something to work towards. As Brittany has outlined, having at least one meal-sized salad daily is a wonderful way to ensure you consume a variety of vegetables, healthy fats, whole grain carbohydrates, and quality protein. Here are my first four entries, and *I'll pop back in later to share my creation for today's lunch. It's not too late to join either, so check out her blog for a tremendous amount of inspiration and also begin tapping into your creativity as well!
I hope you'll visit her blog and begin incorporating meal-sized salads into your day!

Jacksonville down two
Recommended Video:
The Jacksonville baseball team took a couple more losses Saturday in a doubleheader against Jerseyville.
"These Saturday doubleheaders can be tough at times. You're kind of run down on pitching," Jacksonville coach Cory Bunner said. "I thought we played well there the last few innings of that second game. Overall, we kind of struggled to throw strikes."
Game one ended with the Panthers taking a 10-3 victory. Jerseyville started with a run in the first and added another two for a 3-0 lead. They scored three more in the third.
Blake Hadden reached on an error with the bases loaded in the fourth as the Crimsons scored their first run. Huckabay, who singled earlier in the inning, scored on the play. Later that inning, Ryan Maul walked with the bases loaded to force in another run to make the score 6-2.
Jerseyville added another 10 runs in the next few innings, including two three-run home runs to give the Panthers a 16-2 lead.
Jacksonville had one last little victory as Drew Ezard hit a home run in the last inning to tack on one more run.
Game two was a little closer as the Crimsons lost 15-8. Jerseyville had just one more hit than Jacksonville, out-hitting the Crimsons 11-10.
The Panthers started the game with three runs. Jacksonville scored its first in the second inning on a walk by James Brammeier.
Jerseyville answered with seven more to increase the lead to 10-1 in the third inning.
The Crimsons got going with five runs in the fourth. Rohn hit a double while Will Rohlk, Blake Hadden, Chris Murphy and Maul all singled as Jacksonville cut the lead to 15-6.
"That kind of stuff came in bunches," the coach said.
Jacksonville held off the Panthers for the next three innings. Scott Huckabay doubled in the fifth to drive in Dalton Bartz, a courtesy runner for Ezard, who had reached on a single. Rohn singled to drive in the Crimsons' final run.
"They (Jerseyville) swing it well," Bunner said. "We just didn't put ourselves in great positions all day, until the last three innings of that second game. We'll try to build on that for next week and go from there."

McDonald Observatory works with energy companies to stop light pollution
The McDonald Observatory, often called the "Crown Jewel of the University of Texas," monitors the night sky in the Davis Mountains. On a clear night, the entire Milky Way is visible from the observatory's telescopes and the naked eye. However, the stars at night have not appeared as big and bright in recent years due to a problem spreading to most of the Trans-Pecos region of Texas: light pollution.
The observatory is located in Jeff Davis County, one of seven counties in the Trans-Pecos region. All seven counties have a Dark Sky ordinance, which limits the use of light outdoors. Outdoor lighting in an area with a Dark Sky ordinance mandates the light must shine down and not into the sky. Lighting that does not follow these guidelines can wash out the night sky, making it harder for researchers at the McDonald Observatory to study the stars.
Bill Wren, assistant to the observatory superintendent and the institution's resident Dark Sky expert, made helping to curtail light pollution his forte.
"The only problem with Dark Sky is there doesn't seem to be any enforcement," Wren said. "We're limited to education and getting the word out there and encouraging people to use responsible lighting."
Senior program coordinator Frank Cianciolo's residency at the observatory stretches back more than 25 years. He says light pollution has continuously grown and is now at its peak in recent months.
"Years ago, you could just barely make out El Paso," Cianciolo said. "The city has grown since then but by passing a Dark Sky ordinance, they contained some of that light pollution. However, right next door is Juarez and they certainly don't have the same limitations in place."
According to Wren and Cianciolo, the majority of the new light in the Trans-Pecos region comes from oil and natural gas activity in the Permian Basin. The observatory maintains ties with energy companies in the region and works to curtail light pollution and encourage the use of responsible lighting where it is needed.
"There are a couple of drillers Bill (Wren) and I have been working with that actually invite us out to inspect their rigs to make sure they're complying with the ordinance and being responsible," Cianciolo said. "We prefer voluntary compliance because we'd hate to get law enforcement out here and that's just a mess for everyone involved."
Wren is optimistic about the future of the partnership between the observatory and the energy companies and hopes it'll encourage more Americans to follow suit voluntarily. Practicing responsible lighting is healthier for individuals in the area, as "artificial light can suppress functions of the immune system," according to Wren
"The industry has published recommended lighting practices under our guidance," Wren said. "The lighting we're promoting is easier on the eyes and it's safer for the workers. It's catching on but there's still a lot of doors to knock on. Even if they don't care about Dark Sky, practicing responsible lighting will save you on your electric bill. I think everyone would be interested in that."
The International Dark Sky Association is a worldwide organization advocating for the curtailment of light pollution. Members come from many different backgrounds with the intention of preserving the natural night sky across the globe.
"There are a lot of people doing what I'm doing," Wren said. "It just so happens I'm in a unique position and setting at the McDonald Observatory. My goal is much clearer and simpler, but I still get to travel and speak with state and local governments, including the city council of both Houston and El Paso. This job is all about education and experience. When people can see the effects with their own eyes, they understand the importance of Dark Sky lighting."
For locals in the area, Dark Sky practices are just as important to them as they are to the observatory.
"We're seeing fewer stars, especially on the horizon," Alpine resident and amateur stargazer Wayne McLaughlin said. "Balmorhea lit up last year and Pecos was before that. Some of the oil companies have complied after the observatory spoke to them, but there's still a long way to go. I'd like to see fracking eliminated entirely."
Currently both the National Parks Service and Texas Parks and Wildlife include Dark Sky initiatives in their agendas. The Trans-Pecos region is home to two national parks, Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains, as well as several state parks, including Big Bend Ranch, Davis Mountains and Balmorhea.

A few of my buddies recently went on one of those so called sex trips. From all their accounts they had a pretty wild time and it got me thinking about planning my own. I've heard that Amsterdam has some really good girls and they're always up for sex. Watching the user submitted sex tapes from RedLightSexTrips.com sure has made me very keen to get my own sex action going on with these experienced girls.
I've already made my way through most of the 150+ HD videos on the site and I'm totally keen for more. I figure if I make my own xxx movies while I'm banging those Amsterdam hotties deep and hard maybe they could add mine to the site. It's sure been an interesting experience watching those tourists giving it their all to these willing girls.
At the moment you can grab an awesome deal on instant access. I'm just getting a feel for everything so when I make my sex trip I know as much as possible about making sure I'm only getting the "safest" pleasure for myself. Being a member there also gets you access to around 25 bonus sites so trust me you and that cock will be more than happy with what's on offer!

Faith Comment published in the Petersfield Post
27 April 2016: Peter Belton, Saint Mary Magdalen Church, Sheet
In Between Things
Well, Easter for 2016 is behind us now. We have lived through reminders of Jesus' agonies, death and the Holy Spirit turning His death into a new life. And we have celebrated ideas of how "new life" might be expressed.
Jesus often quoted from the scripture of His time, using passages with which His audience would have been familiar, as a subtext to a point He wanted to make. So, it is worth noting that when, humanly, He cried out to His Father that He felt forsaken, He may well have been referring to Psalm 22. This psalm is, however, about trusting, praising and glorifying God to save and bless, in spite of all our trials.
It was a time of waiting, uncertainty and wariness for the first disciples. Jesus had told them to expect a "Helper" from His Father but they did not know the who, the how or the when this would happen. In hindsight, we know that the Jews celebrated the first fruits of their harvest at Pentecost. It was to be the same in the spiritual realms.
We could be thought of as being in that period between the assurance of life, through Jesus' work on the Cross, His return to be with Father and the Holy Spirit and our enabling by the Spirit.
We are aware of the Father's faithful, sacrificial and extravagant love for His people but we are also sometimes painfully aware of our own inability to live our lives as He would wish. It's a conundrum. So, we also look forward to appreciating God's gift of His Holy Spirit in us, who speaks to us of God's heart and helps us to live closer to His desires.

This prompted a closer take a look at artifacts present in another nearby collapse 1985, particularly an oyster shell that contained pigment.

Revision as of 05:25, 31 July 2019
A should learn if: you are involved within the relationship between area and time journey. While that is solely 25 of the top science fiction books, one of these gift ideas is bound to be new and totally different—and each one of them is a superb book to learn many times. Corey's first novel in the epic, New York Times bestselling sequence the Expanse, a modern masterwork of science fiction the place humanity has colonized the photo voltaic system. Embracing the features of psychology, society, and human emotion on an alien world, The Left Hand of Darkness stands as a landmark achievement within the annals of mental science fiction. The Sleepless steadily outgrow their welcome on Earth, and their children escape to an orbiting house station to arrange their own society. The first book in The Themis Files trilogy, which was accomplished this 12 months, examines how the invention of an historic alien artifact on earth affects each individuals and the world. Following a pair of teenagers evacuating Earth during an invasion, Illuminae is a masterwork of young grownup sci-fi, a story winding its way via a file of hacked paperwork: emails, chatrooms, classified army files, and more that the protagonists discover during their seek for the reality behind the invasion. This dark work of science fiction could also be new, however it is on my private list of all-time great reads. One of the seminal works of exhausting science fiction, Foundation reimagines the fall of the Roman Empire as going down on a galactic scale and an effort on a distant planet to guard humanity from a 30,000-yr-lengthy dark age. A science fiction saga set on near-future Earth, The Tenth Planet challenges our basic beliefs about the solar system and ultimately our place in the universe with slicing-edge astronomy, blockbuster action, and high drama. Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America Grand Master Cherryh returns to her Hugo-winning sci-fi saga, set in the Alliance-Union universe. Another winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, The Forever War is a few member of an elite army unit who is propelled via area and time to fight a distant thousand-12 months conflict against aliens, knowing that because of the time dilation of space travel, he is aging months while Earth is growing older centuries. After quite a few novels and quick stories probing humanity's trials in the near future, far future and distant past, science fiction master Kim Stanley Robinson offers his own extremely detailed spin on the problem of interstellar journey in his new book "Aurora" (Orbit, . Because science fiction is just so many things … alternate historical past, near future, far future, house opera, planetary romance, dystopia, cyberpunk – the list goes on. Whether you read sci-fi for its ability to take a position how know-how will change our lives, or when you take pleasure in how its authors use it to carry a mirror as much as modern society, you may discover some of your favorite books (and hopefully, a few titles you've by no means read earlier than) in our chronological listing of the 100 best sci-fi books of all time. This six-novel sequence was the runner-up for the Hugo Award for Best All-Time Series in 1966, losing out to Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, which additionally made our list. For extra info in regards to the e-book, try our Q&A with Robinson. The collection is slated for nine books, and so they've appeared steadily one per year from 2011-2015 for a total of five so far (plus some tie-in novellas). Space.com talked with Weir about developing a realistic moon base right here. Read a Q&A with Newman here and an excerpt from "Before Mars" here. Which I assume is a good thing, because there's all the time something new out there to be discovered, nevertheless informed you might be of the genre. But of those 50-plus books, only five or so could be read inside the yr of them being published. We carried out a survey within our base – so it's quite biased, as a result of it is followers – and we discovered that many people have been studying 50 or more books a 12 months. The most necessary of those is to guard Aenea, a time traveller from the previous who represents a risk to the all-powerful Church. Little surprise that it gained the Hugo, Nebula and Locus Awards. It's an angle, a pose, a style, a set of chords, immediately recognisable yet at all times morphing and reinventing itself, and also entirely attainable to be sneered at from both inside and outdoors the circle. These are prime examples of just how progressive science fiction can be, even when it is using the very acquainted instruments from the science fiction author's toolkit.

More pain from Paris to protect credit ratingComments
With his latest budget savings, unveiled on Monday, President Nicolas Sarkozy is imposing further pain on his citizens to protect France's credit rating and slash its deficit.
It is a risk, coming just six months before an election, but necessary with France's growth forecast for next year recently cut from 1.75 percent to just 1.0 percent.
Sarkozy's centre-right government says to keep French finances from going off the rails, everyone must contribute — from the youngest to the oldest — with further spending cuts and tax hikes urgently needed to the tune of 18 billion euros for 2012 and 2013.
Securing a rise in the retirement age was a highly unpopular move — but the finance ministry said it was necessary to keep France's ballooning pension deficit in check.
The hope is the country's overall deficit will fall to 5.7 percent of GDP this year, then to 4.5 percent next year and reach an EU-mandated limit of 3.0 percent of GDP by 2013.
On the streets, the mood is gloomy, in Paris one man said: "Right now it's rather hard for everyone. I think the crisis is hitting the poor. And regarding the retirement age going up, that's difficult. People don't have any money, and with the social security contributions rising it's going to get even more difficult."
The problem for Paris is that the ratings agencies have been hinting they could cut France's prized triple-A credit rating.
They point to the slowing growth and France's potential liability for the cost of bailouts in the European debt crisis.
Preserving France's credit rating through deficit reduction plans remains Sarkozy's key goal.
But economists and opposition politicians said the government's outlook was still too optimistic and the latest measures might not be enough.

A Legit Marketplace for PUBG Items
Any PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG) player should know that the clothes and items available in the game are a key selling point among players. While it might be fun trying to be the last person standing in a field of a hundred (just as fun to claw for survival against a ton of real people at the same time), one can say that it's more fun to deck out your character. There are hats, shirts, jackets, gloves, shoes, and so on. If you want to make a big impression out there in the battle royale, it's important that you have the best PUBG Items at all times.
Before we move forward and discuss items, let's talk about PUBG. The game is a multiplayer online battle royale game from Bluehole. The title gets its name from Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, who created a series of mods for other games based on the 2000 film Battle Royale, and it eventually ended up leading the way as Bluehole came up with PUBG. It's been a big hit since it arrived in March 2017 for Microsoft Windows gamers, but you can also play the game if you have a PS4 or Xbox One.
As we mentioned before, you can get up to 100 players in each battle royale. Some might be looking good in their best PUBG goodies. You want to look spiffy when you become the sole survivor at the end of the battle royale. The last thing you want is to look like a mediocre online character whose style doesn't exactly stand out from the rest of the crowd.
Although the central theme of the game is "kill or be killed," with resources rather limited and the threat of being gunned down and eliminated by an enemy player always looming large, it doesn't always have to be that serious all the time. Sure, you may want to last a little longer than you think you could. Besides, we understand that strategy is essential in games like this. Keep in mind that we're here to help you look good regardless of the strategy you might be employing at any given time. Also, certain items don't look good, but they can be useful in helping you stay alive for the long haul.
For starters, you've got the trench coat, which is one of the best PUBG items you could get. Even if you aren't able to get yourself a trench coat, there are other articles of clothing, such as hats, jeans, shirts, shoes, and fresh glasses. Clothing items come in different colors, meaning a wide range of customization options for you, right at your fingertips. Bored with your blue pair of jeans? You can always buy a tan one. In fact, you can replace your white and gray hat with a hat of a different color. If you don't like that beige padded jacket, switch it up and go purple.
Most of these items don't do much other than improving appearance. If you look at each item's description, you can see which ones serve an aesthetic purpose and are useful. You can also buy an official PUBG costume set, which comes with the trench coat, gloves, and other pieces of clothing.
Where Can I Buy and Sell PUBG Items?
So, where can you buy the best PUBG stuff? Where can you purchase these items without having to worry about someone else hacking the system or gaming it, in hopes of having dibs on the items? The answer to this question is PlayerAuctions! Yes, they are the safest place for to get PUBG shirts, jeans, and other articles of clothing to customize the look of your character.
The site has a proprietary PlayerGuardian system, which ramps up the security in every transaction we do here without the risk of phishing. On top of this, there's the PowerSeller system, which shows us how reputable sellers are, and protects players from scams or conned into a raw deal. Our email help desk is available to answer any questions if you get stuck.
If you've got any items in mind to sell, you can head over to the site, sell your stuff for cheap, and possibly profit. You won't be paying as much as you would for items manufactured by other third-party websites. At the end of the day, it's all a matter of buying low and selling high (the classic win-win situation that you should always seek). It doesn't matter what type of PUBG clothing you're selling. On the other hand, if you buy low and sell high, you'll be in the black far more often than you may be in the red.
How Does it Work?
Buyers create orders and send payments. The PlayerGuardian provides security for that payment (those payments), and while this is going on, the seller can fulfill their delivery guarantee. At this point, sellers need to simply wait for the money to roll in.
When it comes to buying and selling the best PUBG, there are two options:
- Face-to-face delivery: requires sellers to meet your character in the game, and you'll do business with any one of those characters. In most cases, sellers will contact you and provide a time and in-game location. There are some tips and tricks when it comes to items.
- First tip: get confirmation on the time zone because you may be in a different time zone from the person you are buying from or selling to, and it's important you see eye-to-eye in this area.
- Server: confirm the shared or server where the delivery will be taking place
- Returns: If there's a seller who wants you to return gold, an item, or anything else to them because they're struggling in the game, don't leave them stranded. Simply have them go about their business as usual. Report them to PlayerAuctions Customer Support since it's obviously against their protocol.
- In-game mailbox delivery: if you've played WoW and other similar games, you know what we mean (this is not really the best option to go for). Some sellers might go this route. However, you can use it for smaller orders since there's no need to set up a time of delivery.
Other Benefits Shopping for PUBG Items on PlayerAuctions
- Low prices: they are set by other players, including PowerSellers. You won't have to pay big money for these items compared to your average third-party player to player (P2P) website.
- Reputation: PlayerAuctions has a solid standing in the world of MMO gaming to bank on, including the PlayerGuardian system, which guarantees 100 percent full delivery or your money back.
- Sellers Guarantee Period: if you've just ordered one of the best PUBG items but can't get your hands on them at any point of playing the game. Seller's promise or pledge to complete delivery. Most sellers' have a set delivery period in mind. If a seller isn't able to deliver PUBG items within the specified timeframe, you have the option to cancel the order without getting penalized.
Regardless of the fact that many transactions pass through PlayerAuctions daily are an indicator of their legitimacy. Even though there might be some out-of-the-box situations to deal with, such as sellers going beyond their guarantee period or delivering an entirely different item from what you had ordered, PlayerAuctions has all roadblocks covered. Why? Well, so that you can buy and sell the best PUBG items safely and quickly.

How parents can help kids stick to healthy diet
It is important for children to develop a healthy relationship with food early on in life, in order to avoid medical issues such as obesity, explains dietitian Abby Courtenay.
Courtenay says that there is an obesity crisis among both adults and children, adding that that 18% of children between the ages of 2 and 5 are obese.
Obesity and diet are influenced by a combination of genetics, physiological and psychological factors, according to Courtenay.
She explains that people have a genetic predisposition to particular tastes, such as salty or sweet.
A mother's diet, while pregnant and during breastfeeding, influences a child's taste preferences in adulthood.
At the same time, psychological influences such as family habits and eating behaviours can impact a child's views on food.
She explains that nutritional food should be the norm in households, cautioning against too many sweet foods and takeaways.
Courtenay says that parents should not use food as a reward, and recommends that parents use the plate model when planning meals to achieve a balanced diet.
In the plate model, half of the plate should be vegetables, one quarter of the plate lean proteins and the remaining quarter healthy starches.
If your plate is full of these different colours and flavours, the chances that you will feel deprived after having a meal like that are very small.Abby Courtenay, dietitian
While different diets are suited for different people, Courtenay suggests that families eat more vegetables, and be aware of the kind of fats in their food.
My favourite saying is: If in doubt, eat more vegetables.Abby Courtenay, dietitian
She says portion control should be less about regulating meal sizes, but more about eating enough of the right foods, and eating to one's fullness.

So I posted twice about this, and I'm so sorry to continue posting about it, but I just...ugh, I really can't deal with this bullshit anymore. I NEED TO VENT MOREEE. So I posted two Saturdays ago here and this past Saturday here that this lady who is supposed to write this overall committee letter for me for dental school admissions has yet to send it, even though this letter should've hypothetically been sent WEEKS ago. Then she promised me last week she'd send it in by last Friday and email me when she did, and she didn't do either of those. Yesterday at noon, I called and left a message with the receptionist of the office asking to tell the lady who is writing my letter to call me. I also sent her an email. No calls or emails yesterday. No calls or emails today. I'M GOING TO GO FUCKING INSANE ON THIS BITCH. I'm starting to think she lost my file or something. This is ridiculously unacceptable, and I do.not.have.the.time to deal with this. I work till after their office is open every day of this week, so I don't even know what to do. My mom is frustrated enough that she wants to call in for me, but I don't want her to do that.
Just guys, please, if someone asks you to write them a letter of recommendation, at least keep them updated if you know it'll take you forever and ever. And never put someone through this awfulness that I'm going through. I still have plenty of time before deadlines, but she's not taking MY deadline seriously (it's rolling admissions, so). Also, as I mentioned in my last 2 posts, I'm PAYING this fucking committee to write this letter.

In a matter of weeks, production will formally be underway on Suicide Squad, Warner Bros.' first non-Superman movie of their new interconnected DC Universe. Fury and End of Watch helmer David Ayer is directing, and while anything superhero-related these days is noteworthy, the character that folks are probably most curious to see in Suicide Squad is The Joker, who will be played by Oscar-winner Jared Leto.
Of course the rest of the cast is solid—Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, and the newly added Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc—but Leto's role is of special interest given Heath Ledger's iconic (and Oscar-winning) performance in The Dark Knight.
Leto has been active on social media, teasing his look for The Joker with a new bleached haircut and even his voice for the character, and now it appears that he's gearing up to have his first full screen test in costume. Earlier today, Leto took to Instagram to tease his "transformation" into The Joker with what looks to be a "before" picture. I wouldn't expect him to reveal his look for the character just yet, but Warner Bros. has been very smart in its character reveals for DC movies thus far, so it's possible we could have our first official look at Leto's Joker in the next month or so. No doubt WB wants to get out in front of any non-professional, paparazzi-taken snapshots of Leto in costume.
You can check out Leto's teaser image below, via Instagram. Suicide Squad opens in theaters on August 5, 2016.

She was right, of course, about prayer. What happened, though, was that when the others heard "the only way," they were unaware of how many varieties of prayer there are – and since they rarely if ever get down on their knees or lift their voices to the Divine One, they likely thought you were saying they were damned, closed out, lost! The challenge, then, is in encouraging them to experiment with prayer! Once they begin to hear of the old Friend in Connecticut whose practice was to pray daily for individuals in the Yearly Meeting ("I want you to know that at 7.15 every night, I will be praying for your daughter's recovery") or of longstanding prayer partnerships between individuals, such as the one former Yearly Meeting clerk Jan Hoffman has shared for two decades or so, then the invitation is more readily heard.

DELPHI, Ind.-- After the release of a new sketch, additional audio and new video in the investigation of the 2017 murders of Abby Williams and Libby German in Delphi, Indiana State Police (ISP) say more than 1,000 new tips came in within 24 hours.
During a news conference Monday, ISP Superintendent Doug Carter revealed a new sketch that appears to be a suspect much younger than a man seen in a previously circulated sketch.
Carter said the investigation has shifted in direction. They now believe they're looking for someone who lives in Delphi or used to live in the city. He also said investigators were looking for the owner of a vehicle found abandoned on the east side of County Road 300 North next to the Hoosier Heartland Highway between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. The vehicle was parked at the old CPS/DCS/Welfare building, police said. That building has since been demolished.
Carter, who didn't take questions after revealing the new information, also showed additional video and audio taken from Libby German's phone. Carter said the new sketch "more accurately depicts" the face of the suspect recorded on Libby's phone while she and Abby were on the High Bridge.
Below: newly released audio of the suspect saying, "Guys, down the hill."
On Tuesday, state police said they've gotten more than 800 email tips, more than 150 phone tips to the tip line and more than 50 tips phoned directly to police agencies.
Anyone with tips can call the tip line at 844-459-5786 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
State police say if you send in a tip, include as much information as possible in the tip and include your name and phone number. Your contact information will remain confidential.
Investigators noted they are not asking for investigative suggestions. They're focused on tips on the suspect's sketch.
"We believe you are hiding in plain sight. For more than two years, you never thought we'd shift gears to a different investigative strategy, but we have. We likely have interviewed you or someone close to you. We know that this is about power for you, and you want to know what we know," Carter said on Monday. "One day, you will."

Hey folks, are there any other people out there interested in crowd-sourcing gift ideas? Maybe we could have a post where people give details about someone who's a challenge and those who are good at this can make suggestions?
I would really like to get something for my son's nanny's daughter, but I have no idea what! She's 13 or 14 (freshman in high school) and she helped out with my son and the other toddlers a lot this summer when she was off from school. My son loves her. I know she plays music (piano and guitar), but otherwise I don't know much about her likes and dislikes. I could do a gift card to a local music store, but I don't know if she is enough of a nerd (like I was) that buying sheet music would be exciting for her, and I don't think I can give enough so she could afford her own guitar or something on that level. I know an iTunes gift card would be appreciated by my nephew of that age, but I am not sure if she has an iPod/iPhone/computer to download stuff to. I guess the other obvious choices would be a gift card to a clothing store or a place like Sephora, right? I don't want to ask her mom because I know she will just tell me that it is nice but not necessary. I just think her daughter deserves to be recognized by us for helping and being so sweet to my son.
Any ideas from those who are more creative than me? Or any similar dilemmas that people could use suggestions for?

In 2006 the musical landscape was a very different place. Social media, as we know it, was in it's infancy.The constant stream of likes, notifications and digital interruptions of today didn't fully exist yet.Those of us 'in the know' and with a thirst for the overlooked regions of the record store had to quench ourselves in the finely curated and generous climes of the online world's myriad music sites, but LA's Lovefingers site was something different, a watering hole in the burgeoning digital desert, a zone where Wally Badarou rubbed shoulders with the likes of Holger Czukay, Sylvester, Mr. Fingers and many others with ease and nobody had an issue with it.A space where a $1 thrift store score b-side could breathe the same dusty air as a $300 private press Folk rarity in comfort.Through an ongoing 'single track per day' posting Andrew 'Lovefingers' Hogge created a truly open-minded, democratic and educated selection of music for our secret, late-night right click and 'save link as' pleasure.
Did we mention that this was before almost everything that we now take for granted? That's right, you see all those Euro Pop dubs, or the 'classics' that we play at the wrong speed, or those private gems that have been reissued to the moon and back? Well, they very probably popped up on our collective record radars via the medium of first. Rightfully so, the site became an instant 'go to' and mark of quality among diggers, DJ's, voyeurs and lurkers around the globe and undoubtedly lead Andrew to instigate his much loved ESP Institute imprint, that is now almost a decade old. The Lovefingers site certainly contributed hugely to the wondrous, many faceted and open minded galaxy of records that is now the language we all speak fluently, inspiring a generation of curious diggers to delve even further into the racks.This compilation you have within your grasp is merely a snapshot of the aural delights that were on offer to those of a 'leftfield' persuasion who found the site and dutifully tuned in for the daily shot of sonics proper. A finely and carefully crafted, lovingly curated handful of records that Andrew has revisited in order to tell the story of his most influential and essential modern musical resource. The tracklist is classic Lovefingers, an insight into the free-flowing nature of the daily posts, context free but somehow all connected via the same creative threads and energies - lo-fi loner jams brush up alongside sleazed-out Italo powerhouses, Greek new age obscurities tussle against overlooked Hawkwind related cuts, and much much more. Rumour has it that this is merely the first volume of this tale. Isn't that exciting? In the words of the man himself - 'That's not all folks' ...

The Department of Defence has long recognised the challenges of improved integration across its joint force elements as well as the need to better leverage all the supporting functions expressed as fundamental inputs to capability (FIC). These considerations are today addressed as Divisional, Command or Service initiatives with periodic broader reviews such as the First Principles Review of 2015 which found:
"Defence is suffering from a proliferation of structures, processes and systems with unclear accountabilities. These in turn cause institutionalised waste, delayed decisions, flawed execution, duplication, a change-resistant bureaucracy, over-escalation of issues for decision and low engagement levels amongst employees."
We contend that Defence needs to address the connectivity across its component parts set against a broad organisational context in order to effectively adopt and exploit the technologies and digital tools available today and those which will develop in the future. This is far more than a single technology, big bang in which Defence has traditionally invested significant resources, and needs to be managed in a way that enables user communities to maximise impact from the information at their disposal and anticipate the impacts of their decisions left and right across the ADO. Equally Defence can be assured that such an approach will meet its stringent, cross domain security and cyber requirements.
Short term we see this being achieved by individual examples of liberating existing data to provide more complete and actionable information for senior decision makers to lead, guide and manage their accountabilities and also describe their impacts to adjacent capabilities, services and support functions. This will require investment in connectivity such as the 5G ecosystem currently being considered and likely partnerships with platform providers to build and bring this to life.
Building on the confidence of this approach, the evolution will likely involve expansion to the approach to mass use of equipment and device sensors to provide more complete operating pictures of capability and the ability to link this readily to choices and decisions in procurement and sustainment. This will need ultimately require a different operating model for many elements of Defence with differing skills and capabilities in the workforce. It will require reinvestment, re-training and ultimately up-skilling.
To do this we are proposing Defence should take cognisance of the eight elements of a connected enterprise drawn from Government and Industry research, which enables leaders to make sense of and prioritise their thinking in response to this future. Those elements are: adopting insight driven strategies and actions, adopting innovative platforms and services, mission centric by design, enabling seamless interactions, building responsive sustainment and supply chain, empowering a digitally enabled workforce, adopting an agile and digitally enabled technology architecture and leveraging fully the value of partner and alliances.
We believe this approach will step the ADF towards the more instantly informed enterprise where leaders have far greater insight as to status, performance and opportunities and ultimately towards the world of a more automated Defence Force which relies on autonomous capabilities, robotics and edge computing.

What is a famous mark?
A Famous trademark is one that has established a strong connection, in the minds of the consumers, between a specific good or service and the source of that good or service. For example, the COCA-COLA and SONY brands have been determined to be famous marks by courts.
The owner of a famous trademark can prevent another person from using the same or similar mark for any goods or services. He will also have the right to prevent others from registering identical or similar marks for any goods or services.

I didn't have a chance to post baby updates, so I will definitely get to that tomorrow, with a couple of belly shots. I realized I am two weeks behind, as today I am 4 MONTHS pregnant! It blows my mind to think I am 16 weeks along already. Sometimes it seems like it's moving so slowly and sometimes it seems like it's moving right along. It's all so very exciting!
I am super excited because... tomorrow we (should be) will be finding out the sex of our baby! Keep your fingers crossed that baby Barrett is not shy. I have my monthly appointment and we'll be able to see baby Barrett's precious self and see how B is growing and progressing. PRETTY PLEASE Keep us in your prayers that baby Barrett is healthy and happy inside of my belly and growing just like he/she is supposed to. We would greatly appreciate any prayers you send a long.

I'm breathing heavily.
Don't imagine things you are not suppose too because of the title of the blog!
I am breathing heavily: talking about our sexual life is not easy. So why talk about it? Because we are a couple, we have a sexual life...and biological needs too. It's part of life. And during our 13 years together, we had a sexual life that went from «crazy» to «absent» to «from infinity and beyond».
Don't you think that the combination sex and PTSD in a fortress is taboo?
Once again, since he is concerned on a different level, I asked my husband's permission to talk about it:
«As long as you don't say that I have a big libido because all women will be after me!». Of course, I would never say what he doesn't want me to say.
Yes, my husband has an excellent libido. He's not exaggerating when he jokes about it: I'm sure it's in his genes.
How can I forget the day he made love to me 8 times within a 24 hours period? I mean, there is no way this man could have been a spoke person for Cialis or Viagra. Based on the facts provided in those TV adds, I can fairly say that in that regard, I still can't believe a flag could be raised so strongly and so easily in this country at 40 years old.
As for me, I learned very quickly how to say «Present arm!» and «Attention!» and welcomed each and every one of these 8 demonstrations of manhood: I was 29 years old. I have an excellent libido as well and, just like my husband, it's in my gene too. Being sexually satisfied keeps me happy too., more loving...more patient.
At 42 years old, I have a different view about our sexual life but also about «sex». Today, I'll be honest, when it comes to my husband's PTSD, I also see sex as a tool. (I hear a cavalry of feminists coming to knock me out for talking like this..)
Yes, in my sexual life, sometimes, «I make love» and sometimes, «I have sex». Don't amplify the situation: it doesn't mean because «I'm having sex» that I'm not making love to him, in a way. And I'm not «having sex» that often.
But it happens.
And in my fortress, «having sex», once in while, is my way of loving him because it brings him relief. I strongly believe in the therapeutic effects of sex..for instance, my husband will sleep better after sex. He will benefit from the hormones that will ease his back pain...not to mention the psychological satisfaction of being and feeling «desired». It's the only time he forgets his tinnitus. It makes him take showers and shave more regularly. To me, it's a way to help him keep his anger to a lower level.
(I'm so sorry to all spouses who don't agree with me who's vet will tell them: «you seeeeeeeee? I told you so! You should talk to her!»)
I understand - and respect- that some women would strongly disagree with me saying that I sometimes «have sex» and most of all, that I use sex as a tool. The only thing I will say for my defense is: I live with Rambo, with my Rambo. You deal with yours the way it works for you.
Before I write more about it, I need to tell you that my husband is very respectful: when I say no, he respects. He was never the kind of man to trow himself into porn either. I am blessed to have a man who is truly a «one woman' man». The flag raises only for one woman: his.
From the very beginning, you can say that we were sexually a match. And that's the point: sex was/is an important aspect of our lives, as a couple. When things go wrong, the sexual life is immediately impacted. And when that point of reference is going down the toilet...
I remember the impact of some new medication. Physically, either the flag wouldn't raise...or his pleasure was different than usual: the feeling was not the same. Physiologically, he was panicking and worried that it would never come back.
I was the best spouse (sarcasm). I panicked too, but for different reasons. I thought it was «personal»:
- That's it! You think I'm fat, right?
- You don't love me anymore!
- If you'd love me, it would work.. I know YOU!
And most of all, since I had my own needs too, I even gave him the famous : «Don't worry about it..that's okay»...accompanied of a big sight when «it wouldn't work». The fact that I would express dissatisfaction would make him panic even more..convincing me more and more that he didn't desire me anymore...
We almost divorced over this because it made me, at one point, truly question his love for me. I never realized the effects of the medication on him. I never realized how much I was not helping him at all. Never. When I talk about «education»? This is what I mean. I could have known better. We could have talked about it...
Medication is one thing. Sometimes, it was his emotional state that would make him feel the desire.
But sometimes, it's Rambo who wants to have sex.
Rambo is not «making love» to me, meaning that the emotional connection is absent between us. Yes, sex is a tool for me when «I have sex» (because this is what this is) with Rambo.
First, Rambo is jealous. He's afraid another man will touch what is his. His first wife betrayed him 25 some years ago and this notion is stuck in his soul.. I live with some of his old fortress. (I will talk about jealousy in another text). So when I have meetings...he knows I am alone with mostly men, in their office.
He «accepts» it officially: he will drive me and wait for me in the car. He will support me. But it's also a «trigger» to him, in a way. His anger will turn into sexual arousal: that night, Rambo will mark his territory...I am his territory. How he will talk to me is different, how he will call me is different. How he will hold me is different. Even the sounds of his voice is different.
I belong to him. I am Rambo's possession..and I don't belong to anyone else. It's animal. No emotions, except for his sexual anger I can hear and feel. His aggressive desire, almost. These nights, I «have sex» because refusing it will trigger him even more. He will start asking questions like «Did you kiss him?» repeatedly. These damn questions sound so ridiculous.
What, you really think I'm kissing and f******* MPs in their office?
Well, yes, he does.I cannot fight this idea. Rambo doesn't care about who I am, the person I was for the past 13 years: I hate his first wife for betraying his trust the way she did.
So sex is a tool. A tool to lower is anger. A tool to make that connection to the man behind Rambo and make him feel that I love him. The connection will happen after «sex»..when he's both relieved and convinced of my love. When he cuddles me and scratches my back, my husband is back.
In my life, it's putting Rambo to sleep. And between sex and an endless fight that makes no sense, sex is making me sleep better too... I'd rather hear the headboard bang the walls 20 minutes than slamming doors.
Again, I my point of view, I'm making love to my husband..by having sex with Rambo. Am I sacrificing myself and see myself as a prostitute, almost?
Absolutely not. In my fortress, I came to accept it...he's been like that for 13 years. In fact, I'll be even more honest, I have found a way to make the best out of it:
You are into your world, Rambo? I'll get into mine.
I still enjoy it. I found a way to enjoy it. When Rambo is raising his Canadian flag, I don't have all my old expectations anymore. I adapted to find some kind of balance between my own emotional feelings and needs and the reality of dealing with Rambo.
What can I say?
I know spouses who refuse any sexual intercourse without them «feeling the desire»: for them, it's a question of self-respect. I understand their position and if my daughter would express the same thing to me, I would totally agree with her.
I also know couples who don't have any intimacy whatsoever. For some, after 30 years of marriage and the impacts of physical + psychological wounds, they have come to a point where both of them are okay with the non existence of sexual intimacy. They have developed another form of rewarding and reassuring intimacy.
One veteran told me this week: «It's a way of life, you know». It's always nice to hear that some couples find their way It's not the case for everybody. I know some couples where the sexual intimacy is absent..but one of the spouses in not satisfied.
That's another story.
I don't judge people and it's not my thing to do so. But I know men who's wife didn't touch them..even just a hug..for 3 years. I know men who are into porn..massively. I know men who sneak behind to have sex with somebody else. I know men who wish their spouse would understand their needs.
Their needs.
I also know women who are frustrated: they have needs too. And let's be honest: the ability to have empathy towards other's needs is a challenge for someone with PTSD.
I know women who need to feel loved too..and desired. They want to feel respected when they say «no» to a «quickie» in the bathroom when the children are knocking on the door. They don't want to feel guilty because «now is not a good time». They don't want to feel obligated to do something they don't feel like doing.. the toys..the positions...
And let's be honest: feeling desire for someone who has a hard time taking a shower regularly, is not easy. Feeling desire when you make the connection between «he's taking a shower so he'll want sex» makes it so.. predictable.
Sometimes, they just want to make love. Women are won by emotions, I guess. A simple honest and sincere «thank you for being there for me..for everything you do for us, for our family» can lead in the bed..
But then again..I remember what it was like with 4 children in the house.. the job...the house to take care of...and the challenges of dealing with someone with PTSD. I certainly remember that period when he was haunted by terrible nightmares...
The «worst» sexual intercourse we had..I remember so clearly.... it was the night when he lost it completely. He ran into the woods, at night, for 25 kilometers. He thought his camera was his weapon..that the farmers would try to kill him. He saw my face when he was about to throw himself down the overpass.
When the police officers found him.. I picked him up..and for the first time, I saw Rambo.
I saw the disconnected man I was facing. He was cold, absent.
That night, alone in my fortress, I made love to him. I made love my husband who was stuck in Rambo's body. I was massaging a stranger when I let my hands explore his body..and ended up using my own... none of us said a word...Silence, complete silence. And while I was doing my job mechanically, apparently emotionless, I was desperate. I was panicking inside fully realizing that my husband had two personalities.
That night, I was not a wife who was making love to her husband;
I was not a woman who was having sex with a stranger;
I was a caregiver who used her body.
To anyone who would judge me saying that sex is a tool in our fortress and are offended because I say that sometimes «I have sex» with my husband, well..
The fact that I have learned to see sex as tool...is because that night, I was a victim, emotionally speaking.
And what can I say? I have learned to make the best out of the worst. We wouldn't be together if I wouldn't be able to adapt. Let's be honest: PTSD is the master of the fortress. To be able to survive, I had to learn how to respect myself living in somebody else's dark world.
I guess it's called.. resilience.

Swiggy, one of the leading food-tech startup in India, is now looking to strengthen its upper management. In line with that, the company has announced the appointment of Vishal Bhatia as the new CEO for its New Supply business.
For those who are unaware, the recently launched Swiggy Access is a part of New Supply business. Swiggy Access is a programme which allows its restaurant partners to set up kitchen spaces in neighborhoods where they don't currently operate.
Commenting on the development, Swiggy co-founder and CEO Sriharsha Majety said,
As Swiggy prepares for the next phase in our growth, the new leaders will spearhead strategic initiatives that will create sustainable long-term value for our consumers and the marketplace. This requires concerted efforts and a very strong understanding of the consumer, coupled with the execution excellence that they bring onboard.
In this new role, Vishal Bhatia's responsibilities will mainly revolve around bolstering Swiggy Access' delivery-only service to eliminate inefficiencies in the existing restaurant supply chain and consumer gaps in terms of assortment availability.
Prior to joining Swiggy, he worked as the Global Brand Director of RB. He has also previously worked as the Marketing and Sales Head – Value Snacks Business at PepsiCo.
According to a report, Swiggy has also hired its first ever Chief Financial Officer, Rahul Bothra, in a bid to strengthen its balance sheet and look for ways to scale beyond the online food delivery business. This comes at a time when there are reports that Swiggy is looking to close a massive funding round with SoftBank.

Say the words "Cabinet of Curiosities" and this painting is the most likely thing to come to mind. Painted by German artist Domenico Remps, it's an early example of trompe l'oeil painting – from the French for "eye deceiver" – in which artists created a three-dimensional perception from a flat surface.
The technique was developed during the Renaissance, when mathematically correct perspective was discovered. Remps, active in Venice in the late c.17th, was considered a master of the genre and this is one of his best-known paintings.
Featured among the treasures are red coral from the Caribbean, very popular with the public of the time, and a "Chinese Puzzle Ball", also known as "Contrefait balls", which were made specifically for Cabinets of Curiosity. Carved from ivory, they consisted of nested spheres that could rotate inside each other.
These photos of the original work was taken at the Cabinets of Curiosities exhibition in the FHEL in Landernau, Brittany.

- RussianTerminology
- Node: a point on a path that you can drag. It is displayed as gray (when not selected) or blue (when selected) square on a path when you are in node tool. Shapes do not display nodes; they have handles. A node may also have one or two handles - these are the small circles connected to the node to adjust bezier tangents.
- Handle: 1) one of two points around a node, displayed (for selected nodes) as a circle connected with its node by a line (node handles); 2) the arrows around the selected object in selector (scale handles, rotation handles); 3) points on a shape that can be dragged by node tool to edit the shape, displayed as small white diamonds (shape handles). (Internally this is called a Knot, but this is a deprecated term in user documentation.)
- Path: an object that has editable nodes but does not have controls (when in node editor). An example is a line created by the freehand tool.
- Shape: an object that does not display nodes but may have controls. An example is a circle or star. A shape can be converted to path by Convert to Path command.
- Stroke: a visible outline of a shape or path. Not the same as path; a path may or may not have a stroke. If the stroke is present, it can be converted to path by Convert Stroke to Path command.
- Stroke shape (to be implemented): the dependency of the stroke width on distance along the stroke. Currently only constant-width strokes are supported.
- Stroke pattern (to be implemented): the representation of a stroke as a sequence of arbitrary objects positioned along the path.
- Object: an independent editable thing on the canvas. May be a path, a shape, a text object, a group, etc.
- Deprecated terms: these are for the code only. Never use them in user documentation.
- knot (this may be a "handle", "control", "node" etc as seen by the user)
- item (use "object")
- desktop (use "canvas" or "document window" depending on context)
- event contexts (they are known to users as "tools")
