2. Riddance
(for our US American readers)
How dead is dead? Get ready to be freaked out by this supernatural gothic novel. Highly praised for Half Live, Shelley Jackson is setting a new tone with her second novel Riddance. The Sybil Joines Vocational School for Ghost Speakers & Hearing-Mouth Children is a sanctuary for children suffering from stuttering. However, at the school they learn that through their stutters, they are able to connect with the dead. Things get out of hand when the worlds of the dead and the living merge and a child goes missing.
3. Halloween Nightmare
A promising start to a new terror book series, Halloween Nightmare has kept us hiding beneath our blanket the whole time. The twins Mia and Tia go back to their home town for Halloween to put an end to an incident of the past that keeps haunting them. Little did they expect that by returning to the origin of their horrors, they are doing the exact opposite…
4. Welcome to Night Vale

The creators of the podcast Welcome to Night Vale have written this little jewel to widen the joy of their audience. Dive into a world where ghosts, angels and aliens are regular visitors in everyday life and enjoy the scary incidents that happen in this lonesome town. Just as the podcast, the novel stands out for it's sinister and comic tone but it's not just funny… if you live in a small town yourself, you might want to put an extra lock on your door before starting to read this novel.
A television adaption of the podcast was announced in December 2017.
Classic Horror Books you must have read
1. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
For many the headless horseman is an embodiment of Halloween as it combines tricks and horror. If you've watched the movie, let yourself be surprised by Washington Irving's original! Set in Sleepy Hollow, a small valley whose inhabitants believe in ghosts and the supernatural. When newly arrived Ichabod and local hero Brom Bones compete for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina, Brom uses the power of the town's ghostly imagination to outpace his rival. Just as Arthur Conan Doyle said, where there is no imagination, there is no horror…
2. Dracula
When published in 1897, readers appreciated Dracula as a great adventure story. It was much later in the 20th century when Bram Stoker's masterpiece became the iconic novel that we take it for today. Harker, a you English lawyer, visits Count Dracula in Transylvania to wrap up a real estate deal. On his way, he's being warned of the count and given garlic and crucifixes to defend himself against the alleged vampire. Harker disregards the warning and finds Count Dracula to be extremely polite and educated but realizes after a few days that he's visit at the castle is no longer as voluntary as he thought it to be…
3. Frankenstein
What happens when experiments don't go the way they were planned to go? There are plenty of examples in history and literature. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein surely narrates one of the most horrific outcomes a scientific experiment could have and serves as reminder that we are responsible for our actions. A reminder well needed with the technical possibilities we have nowadays…
Interesting fact: Did you know that Mary Shelley was only 18 when she started writing the novel?
4. The Masque of the Red Death
Edgar Allan Poe at his best: When a few rich noblemen (and ladies) hide in a castle and have a costume party in order to avoid a plague that is haunting the country, it only seems fair that death comes to haunt the party guests. Warning: Better don't read this short story if you have a costume party coming up yourself…

A new October means a new FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)! If you plan to attend college in 2019 there are some things you need to know before you go to www.FAFSA.gov and complete your application. To make things easier, we have videos to for each section, so make sure you watch those as well.
Before I dive into the FAFSA it's important that you get an FSA ID before you begin. If you are required to include parent information then a parent will need an FSA ID as well. Watch this video to help you get an FSA ID.
Now, on to the FAFSA:
The FAFSA, Part 1:
Those who are returning students will notice a new look to the FAFSA. For everyone else, just know this isn't what we are used to. My #1 tip for you in the first section is to make sure that all the information is correct. There are a number of questions that are prepopulated, but that doesn't mean they are correct.
Take a look at what you can expect in the first section of the FAFSA:
The FAFSA, Part 2:
The second part of the FAFSA deals with schools, both what high school you attend and what colleges you plan to attend. Make sure to include any college you might attend, especially if you applied for admissions.
Watch this for more info on including schools on your FAFSA:
The FAFSA, Part 3:
Now things get serious. Part three of the FAFSA determines if parent information is required on your FAFSA. There are a few questions to get through, and most students answer "no" to all of them.
You'll find more details about the dependency questions here:
The FAFSA, Part 4:
Unless you were able to answer "yes" to a question in part three you'll be moving on to part four of the FAFSA where you'll be asked questions about parents. New this year is the ability for a parent to log in and complete this information. Just make sure you have the Save Key that was created when you began your application.
The FAFSA, Part 5:
It's time to talk taxes. Whenever possible, you'll want to use the IRS Data Retrieval tool to link 2017 tax information to the application. For the majority of families, you'll only have to link the parent tax information, some students do not work enough to file, for them they just enter their wages and any checking or savings account balances. Some of you may need to manually enter information, just take your time and follow the instructions.
The FAFSA, Part 6:
This is it, the final section. All you have to do is sign the form. You'll need those FSA IDs again, and get ready as it takes many more clicks to get through everything. After you sign the application you'll get a confirmation page. Make sure you print that for your records.
There you have it, the FAFSA in six easy steps! I know this seems daunting but you can do it. If you need help, contact an EducationQuest office and we'll make sure you get the answers you need. Don't wait to get your application done, the sooner you finish it the better your chances are of getting aid.

Lawson Young can be seen as JEANIE in "Hair" at the Geva Theatre Center in Rochester, New York until October 7th, 2018.
"Overall, this is a genuinely tribal show in which the spirit of the ensemble is greater than any individual. Yet there were some standouts: the brass-lunged Cherise Thomas as Dionne, who reaches the upper stratosphere of vocal perfection in the opening number, "Aquarius," and Lawson Young as the charmingly pregnant Jeani who steals hearts in her rendition of "Air" with Thomas and Manna Nichols as Crissy. Kudos also to Joshua Carey as Woof and Jamal Shuriah as Hud in "Ain't Got No" and "I'm Black." -Democrat & Chronicle, Marcia Placito Morphy, September 11, 2018

Today, we closed practice 21 with a sobering reminder. No good growth will go unpunished, I paraphrased from words uttered so long ago. I wanted my client to hear that the more he grows does not correlate to the more people will notice and give him credit. In fact, oftentimes, just the opposite occurs. Prepare for more resistance, I coached him. I told him not to be surprised by the resistance to his growth. Don't go looking for it. Prepare for it to find you, resistance, that is.
I told the story about forgiveness per C.S. Lewis – forgiveness is a great idea, until there is something to forgive. Transitioning power is a great thought until someone actually start to grab the reins. Expect resistance from above and around. Be ready to stand, friend. Be ready to stand. Stop trying to control what you have no control over. You, friend, cannot control other people or circumstances. You control your response. You control who you give away your powers of control to as well. Do not become the plaything of people in power over you. That, friend, would be kinda nuts. Wouldn't it? I mean, come on man, it doesn't sound very emotionally intelligent to allow others to control your emotional life – Does it?
As we put a bow on practice 21, I hit my client with some truth in love. I challenged him to stop personalizing his personal loss when those in power, well, don't seem to get him or, worse yet, don't seem to even notice. Let it go. You can't control them, remember, anyway. His writing to me said he heard me loud and clear. Here's what he wrote me. Slow down and let his learning in. Sit with this awhile. It might pertain to you too, friend.
"Don't personalize your own loss. Don't give your energy away to that. Meaning don't get bent up when people don't listen to you, or you feel slighted or ignored. Focus on your team's contribution and stop having anxiety about how other's perceive you."
Good learning today, team of eight. Good learning. Stop focusing on the resistance around or above you. The stronger you become, the more others will resist you. Focus on what you can control. Good…

Tickford Racing engineer Adam De Borre is working on Tony Bates' Audi in this weekend's Australian Endurance Championship race at The Bend.
De Borre, who engineers Chaz Mostert in Supercars, has worked on Audis in Australian GT a number of times in the past and will be part of the KFC/Moveitnet crew for The Bend's first competitive motor racing meeting.
Bates is sharing the #24 R8 LMS with New Zealander Daniel Gaunt, as he did in the season-opener at Albert Park and will for the other two AEC races this season.
"Dan and I worked very well together at the Grand Prix and since then, we've found some significant improvements in the car which should make it a lot more competitive," said Bates.
"We've also engaged the services of Adam De Borre, who has achieved a lot of success in Supercars with Chaz Mostert, and will be a valuable asset to our campaign."
The Australian GT field will tackle the 7.77km, 35-turn GT Circuit, which incorporates most of the 4.95km International Circuit which the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship will run on in August.
Bates says that the lack of existing data on the new circuit will make for a challenging initiation.
"Normally, when I visit a new track for the first time, I will prepare myself by spending time on the simulator or studying in-car footage; because this is a brand-new facility, none of those resources are available," he explained.
"The only information we have is the track map, so I've been thoroughly analysing it to figure out where the most important sections of the track are likely to be.
"From the photos, it looks like a very impressive motorsport precinct, so it's a privilege to be one of the first people to race there."
This weekend's racing doubles up as Round 1 of the Australian Endurance Championship and Round 2 of the Australian GT Championship and will feature Supercars drivers including full-timers Shane van Gisbergen, David Reynolds, and Garth Tander.
The two-part race takes place on the Shannons Nationals card alongside Porsche Michelin GT3 Cup Challenge Australia, Radical Australia Cup, Australian Prototype Series, Australian Sports Sedans, Heritage Touring Cars and Group S, which will all run on the International Circuit.
An Australian GT test is being held today before all categories are on-track tomorrow.

I feel like every camera owner living in or having toured DC has a picture of Benjamin Franklin standing in front of a row of U.S. flags, so I went to get my copycat shot after the disappointing sunrise at the Lincoln Memorial.
Having been living in DC for almost a year and serving as a tour guide for friends and family many times, I feel ashamed that I did not know about this place before. It would have been a really good touch as I took people to places on Pennsylvania Ave in between the White House and the Capitol. Especially when I was unsuccessful in booking a tour of the Washington Monument, this would the second best place to see DC from above.
在DC住了快一年又帶這麼多人導覽DC之後,我竟然沒來過也不知道Old Post Office,十分慚愧。不然帶大家走過白宮、Freedom Plaza、FBI的時候應該要順便到Old Post Office Pavilion的鐘塔瞭望台看一下DC全景,尤其是訂不到華盛頓紀念碑tour的時候,Old Post Office看來是最好的替代方案。
The Old Post Office was built in the 1890s and will be turned into a Trump hotel soon. The statue of Benjamin Franklin is at the main entrance on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Old Post Office建於1890年代,不久的將來要變成川普飯店。富蘭克林的雕像就在賓州大道正門的一側。
Due to a limit on height of buildings in DC, there is no skyscraper in the city . The Washington Monument (555 feet /169 m) is the tallest structure. Built in the period between 1892 to 1899, the Old Post Office was born before the Heights of Buildings Act and thus grandfathered in, becoming the third highest structure in the city. (Following the post office would be the Washington National Cathedral.)
So, the best spot for a spectacular view of DC is up on the Washington Monument. (Besides it is cool to see the interior of the Monument.) However, it is a tour you often need to book way in advance. Currently it is closed due to damage from the August 2011 earthquake. The Old Post Office is the best replacement for a good view as far as I know. No reservation is required and it is free. Park rangers offer tours a couple of times every day. You can also tour the tower yourself. Don't expect a breathtakingly beautiful view though. This is DC that we're talking about, not some night view of New York City or Chicago.
華府限制建築物的高度,所以這裡沒有摩天大樓,華盛頓紀念碑是最高的地標 (169公尺,台北101是509公尺) ,Old Post Office在大家立法管制之前就蓋好了,所以默默蓋成了DC第三高 (第四名是Washington National Cathedral。)
要從高處看DC,華盛頓紀念碑是首選,而且搭電梯一路看到紀念碑裡面還蠻有趣,但旺季都要提早很多訂票,現在因為2011年8月的地震所以包起來整修,不對外開放。就我所知的景點裡面,Old Post Office是最好的替代方案。上去Old Post Office的觀景台不用預約也不用錢,每天有幾場導覽,但也可以隨時自己上去。雖然說十分推薦這個行程,但千萬不要期待會有多厲害的景,DC就只是DC,跟什麼紐約或芝加哥夜景差得遠。
An elevator that goes up to the observation deck on the 12 floor and the clock tower starts on the basement, which is a food court.
From the 270-foot observation deck, you can see the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, White House, Capitol and more. With a smartphone camera and a right angle, it is easy to take pictures of the Pennsylvania Ave and the Capitol, or on the other side the Freedom Plaza and the White House without having railings in the scene. Although these iron bars get in your way, they are better than dirty glass in my opinion.

At the meeting, the
Director of the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, Ms.
Nguyen Hong Mai and Mr. OIGAWA Kazuhiko signed a Memorandum of Cooperation on
View of the meeting
The two sides sign the Memorandum of Cooperation
At the meeting, Mr. OIGAWA Kazuhiko said that Ibaraki prefecture was a locality that developed harmoniously between industry and agriculture in Japan. Particularly for Long An province, in addition to cooperation in the field of labor, Mr. OIGAWA Kazuhiko said that the locality also wanted to learn more about investment opportunities in the field of manufacture as well as cooperation on high-tech agriculture which are areas where Ibaraki prefecture had advantage.
Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee – Pham Tan Hoa briefly introduced about the natural conditions and socio-economic situation of Long An province. Mr. Hoa said that the locality was very focused on the relationship with Japan. Over the past years, Long An province has organized missions to Japan to promote cooperation with Japan's local governments, organizations and enterprises. In addition, as a locality that received a lot of Japanese enterprises to invest (more than 144 projects), Long an province always paid great attention to tighten the relations with the Consul General of Japan in Ho Chi Minh City, Japanese organizations in Vietnam such as JICA, JETRO, JBAH, and regularly organized dialogues with Japanese organizations and enterprises operating in the province.
In particular, Long An province paid great attention to labor cooperation with Japan, bringing the province's laborers to Japan to work and study, considering it was a strategic solution to create jobs for workers, contributing to povety reduction, and more importantly, improving the quality of the province's labor force.

But keep in mind that access to these streaming services from abroad is off limits due to copyright issues. As a result, all you'll see is a geo-error message on your screen telling you that you cannot watch the tournament. That's because your IP address reveals your location to the internet, and the only way to hide it is with a VPN.
How to Watch US Senior Open 2018 Live with VPN?
In case you currently reside in the US, you can watch all the golf action live online on Fox Sports Go. Fox has dedicated FS1 to broadcast the US Senior Open this year. The Fox Sports Go app can be installed on PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, iPad, Xbox One, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku streaming devices. Once you launch the app, you'll need to sign in using your cable provider subscription.
Unfortunately for US expats living abroad, Fox Sports is geo-blocked outside United States territories. That means that US streaming channels like Fox Sports Go, FuboTV, and Sling TV are inaccessible if you live overseas. That's pretty unfair if you're a big golf fan like I am, but it's also not the end of the world.
What you need to do is spoof your geographic location and make it appear as if you were in the United States.
A virtual private network (VPN) will help you do that by rerouting your internet connection through another server of your choice. It will also give you an IP address from the region that you selected. This will allow you to bypass geo-blocked content no matter where you are.
- Once you connect to an American server, every US-restricted channel will become available from anywhere. That includes Fox Sports, DirecTV Now, HBO Go, WatchESPN, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and others.
- VPNs also encrypt your traffic and prevent anyone from seeing it. That way, no one can keep tabs of your online activity, not even your internet service provider.
- Installing a VPN is a very simple process. All services have dedicated apps that you can download from your app store or the brand's website. They are also compatible with several devices and systems, including Android, iPhone, iPad, PC, and Mac.
Best VPN to Unblock Channels
When you consider all the advantages and the channels you can unblock, a VPN subscription won't sound too pricy. In fact, it's totally worth the average 6 to 9 dollars you'll be paying.
And no, you can't use free VPNs because they are very unreliable and totally unsafe. They offer weak encryption protocols and sell your internet traffic to third parties.
Therefore, stick to paid services like ExpressVPN and enjoy extra security and total privacy. The company also has very fast servers spread across 94 countries, uses the military-grade AES 256-bit encryption, and follows a transparent no-logs policy.
Furthermore, it offers a 30-day refund policy and excellent customer support service that's available 24/7.
Here's what you need to do to watch the US Senior Open from abroad:
- Go to the ExpressVPN website and create an account.
- Download and install the app directly from their website or from your app store. You can install ExpressVPN on Android, iOS, PC, Mac, Linux, and other devices.
- Open the VPN, sign in, and connect to any server located in the USA.
- Once you're connected, head over to Fox Sports Go or any other channel broadcasting the event.
- The geo-error message is no more and you're free to stream the US Senior championship from anywhere.
How to Stream 2018 US Senior Championship with Smart DNS Proxies?
You can also use a Smart DNS proxy to bypass geo-blocks and watch the 2018 US Senior Open from outside the US. Unlike VPNs, these tools don't slow your internet connection down because they don't encrypt your traffic, which is both good and bad depending on how you look at it.
Proxies don't hide your IP address either, but can still spoof your location by rerouting only the location part of your connection. But keep in mind that they won't function properly, sometimes not at all, if your ISP uses transparent proxies or DNS hijacking.
Here's how you can set one up on your device:
- Subscribe to a good Smart DNS service like Unlocator.
- Make sure the service has a long list of supported channels. Unlocator can unblock 200 channels, including BBC iPlayer, ESPN, Fox Sports Go, HBO Go, and Hulu.
- Follow these videos and setup tutorials to install Unlocator on your device. You can set it up on your iPhone, iPad, Android, PC, Mac, PS3, PS4, Xbox, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Chromecast.
- You can watch the 2018 US Senior tournament no matter where you are.
Furthermore, Unlocator gives you the chance to try its services for one week before you make up your mind thanks to a free 7-day trial period.

EMA '18: Vaughan Roberts - From Study To Pulpit - Habakkuk 2
Where is Christ? Meat. Motive. Message. Mood... Messiah. Vaughan Roberts open up Habakkuk 2 to explore how Jesus is shown within the Old Testement, especially when looking at passages which seem almost alien to the 21st century Christian.
Length: 43mins
The Evangelical Ministry Assembly (EMA) is the Proclamation Trust's (PT) flagship gathering of over 1000 Bible preachers and teachers. It is for all those with responsibility for teaching and preaching the word of God in the local church. The PT recognises that such ministry is sometimes counter-cultural, can often be lonely and is always hard work. The EMA therefore is planned to both challenge and encourage preachers in the task to which Christ has called them and provide a place to meet others involved in the same ministry so that they can spur one another on.
The main aim of the Proclamation Trust is to teach the Bible to preachers in order that they can in turn teach it to others, as well as to provide a fellowship of like-minded evangelicals across the denominations for encouragement in this work. For more information see: www.proctrust.org.uk.

Canadian Association of Radiologists
As the voice of Canadian radiology, the Canadian Association of Radiologists is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of imagery centered on patients and promoting continuing medical education and research. Radiologists are an integral part of the clinical team.
Association des radiologistes du Québec
The Quebec Radiologists Association (Association des radiologistes du Québec, ARC) was founded in December 1947 at the initiative of 23 physicians specialized in radiology. The ARC is the oldest union of specialized physicians. It was created in order to respond to the need and desire of physicians specialized in radiology to get together for defending their interests and promote their specialty.
It is one of the more than 30 associations of specialized physicians (anesthesiologists, cardiologists, surgeons, psychiatrists, etc.) that constitute the Quebec Federation of Specialized Physicians (Fédération des médecins spécialistes du Québec).
Health and Social Services, Government of Quebec
The website of the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services (Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec) offers comprehensive information on the health and social services system, including the Ministry, health services network, health and social services agencies, institutions, community-based organizations as well as various committees.

Quebec Breast Cancer Screening Program
Following numerous studies spanning a decade, in May 1998, Québec launched the Quebec Breast Cancer Screening Program (PQDCS), based on a reference framework. The goal of the Program is to reduce the mortality due to breast cancer by at least 25% among women aged 50 to 69, over a ten-year period.
The Quebec Breast Cancer Screening Program (PQDCS) aims to:
- reduce breast cancer mortality rate by 25% over a ten-year period
- improve early detection of breast cancer among women aged 50 to 69
- maximize the detection of small tumours
- improve accessibility to screening mammography
- ensure that screening is performed in centers delivering a high quality standard of care
- ensure that the services rendered are satisfactory, preserving women's quality of life and taking into account their needs and rights, especially the right to confidentiality and the right to making informed decisions.

Inside 100 Health Village Lane
The future home for 10 family physicians, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Sleep Products store, Gama- Dynacare blood services and Renfrew Family Chiropractic is quickly taking shape.
Members of both the RVH Board of Directors and Foundation Board, along with a handful of staff members, were invited to view the new professional medical building as it nears the finishing stages of construction.
"This is another significant investment for our organization" said Randy Penney, CEO Renfrew Victoria Hospital. "When completed, this project will assist with the recruitment of new physicians to our community. Once again, from a management perspective, we are on schedule and on budget".
The latest major construction project on the RVH campus is designed by architect Brian Dickey. He gave everyone a guided tour of the 18,900-square foot facility on May 24.
He first pointed out in the main corridor visitors will have access to a gender-neutral washroom—a requirement as part of regulated new public building construction code.
In the clinic area, he noted they sought input from Dr. Steven Radke and other RVH physicians during the design process. The patient clinic space boasts essentially the same features as the professional building located at 510 Raglan Street, with a few improvements and slightly larger patient rooms.
The waiting room area has capacity for 85 patients to sit comfortably with patient triage areas for receiving patients before entering the exam rooms.
He explained that the corner is designated as the children's play area with extra heating vents: "Like 510 (Raglan Street), the kids are playing on the floor and that is to warm the children, not trying to warm the whole space."
Paint colours have already been applied in some areas and cabinetry has been installed in some patient rooms.
The new RVH Sleep Store space is triple the size of its current store in the lower level of 500 Raglan Street with a spacious waiting room, three large patient consultation rooms, examination rooms, physician offices, manager's office, staff room and a massive storage room.
The storage room will provide an opportunity for the Sleep Products team to keep a healthy supply of sleep aid products on hand for patients, said Dickey.
The tour also included the Gama-Dynacare blood services space and Renfrew Family Chiropractic clinic, which Dickey said have been designed with the future tenants' full input as far as their unique style and requirements for their clients' needs.
The building is slated to open in September for patients.
"From a timeline perspective," shared Tim Sonnenburg, RVH's Vice President of Financial Services. "Tenants will be able to transition into the building in August and have plenty of time to get settled and open for patients after the Labour Day long weekend."

Get a better handle on your time management skills by playing these 4 free-to-play games.
A lot of people like to complain about free-to-play games because they include things like cool-down times that stymie game progress. Realistically, these complaints are totally ridiculous because the games wouldn't be free-to-play if they didn't include some kind of catch to generate revenue, like the option to pay to skip over a cool-down.
The problem isn't with the free-to-play business model; the problem is that we're looking at it the wrong way. And by that I mean we always look at it as an affront when it's not. It's a learning opportunity.
No, it's true. We can learn a lot about time management from free-to-play games. What can we learn about time management from free-to-play games, you ask? Try these 4 free-to-play games on for size and see for yourself.
What can a fantasy MMORPG set in a world where monsters from the underworld are storming through a portal known as the Felspire teach us about time management? Well, playing Felspire can teach you the value of delegation, an essential skill to time management.
A cornerstone of good time management is the ability to recognize when a task is better suited for someone else. Knowing when to entrust an assignment to someone else and then selecting the right person for the job frees up your schedule to focus on more important issues at hand.
In Felspire, recognizing that you can delegate the endless grinding of enemies is best suited to the autopilot function. This allows you to focus on more important things like PvP matches and guild raids. Getting comfortable with letting the computer pick up the slack of menial tasks like leveling can help nurture your ability to recognize tasks that require your full attention and those that don't.
Forge of Empires
All MMORTS games force players to think critically about their priorities, but that's especially true in Forge of Empires. With only a limited number of moves, upgrades, etc. that can be made before running into a cool-down, playing Forge of Empires exercises this essential time management skills.
Prioritization is one of the most misunderstood and misused time management skills. Most people try to prioritize too late in the process, itemizing a task list of things that don't belong on a list of priorities at all. Prioritization should not begin with a focus on getting more work done. Prioritization should always begin with eliminating the tasks you should not be performing at all.
With the correct method of time management prioritization in mind, try playing Forge of Empires as a way to exercise your ability to recognize priorities. To help you get the ball rolling, here are the things you can immediately eliminate from your list of priorities: advancing to a new age shouldn't be done until you're absolutely ready, polishing/motivating Stone Age items isn't worth your time, save your forge point until the end of an Age, etc.
League of Angels
Regardless of what you are trying to do, there will always be something competing for your attention, which is why focus is such an important time management skill.
Learning to block out distractions and focus at the task at hand isn't easy, but playing League of Angels could help. League of Angels is an MMORPG with frenetic action and nearly nude angels floating overhead, kicking some major ass. If you can manage to stay focused on monster slaying without too much swooning over your sexy guardian angel, you might just be able to apply the same level of focus to the rest of your life.
Not to mention, the massive amounts of mini-games and side quests available to you in League of Angels will be vying for your attention. So maintaining focus is key to making progress.
Star Trek: Alien Domain
Pressure is not a bad thing. It can be a great motivator to take action and succeed. However, there's a fine line between pressure motivating and causing a meltdown from stress. Time management skills and stress management skills are intertwined because they have one major controlling factor: you have to understand that it is better to prevent the problem occurring than having to deal with it once it does occur.
That said, Star Trek: Alien Domain can help you internalize this lesson. This MMORTS game set in the darkest reaches of the Star Trek universe is fun but stressful. Your base and star fleet will be constantly under attack from other players, evil alien species and the fear of all your progress being undone is palatable. Learning how to prevent these problems in game will help you keep a handle on things elsewhere in life.

Palm Springs, California is one of the few cities that immediately evoke a distinct style. In this case, it's a certain mid-century glamour: low-slung architecture, pops of optimistic color, and, of course in-home wet bars and conversation pits. Designer Christopher Kennedy nods to that fabulous lifestyle with his interior designs, which combine vintage influences with a distinct modern energy.
Here's a closer look at some of our favorite projects of his, along with select pieces from Viyet for bringing a touch of Palm Springs chic into your own home.
The Project: Thunderbird Heights Family Home
Why We Love It: The exterior of this home reminded us of the classic Slim Aarons photo, "Poolside Gossip." Inside, the vibrant colors lend warmth to the modern architecture, which can often read as cold spaces. The biggest surprise, though, has to be that luxe study. It's the perfect case study of how to combine textures, from the shag rug to the lustrous wood paneling.
Get The Look: We were inspired by the way Kennedy styled the sideboard with large-scale artwork, accent chairs, and sculptural lamps.

The Project: Morningside Legacy
Why We Love It: The white walls maximize the light in this stunning home, while bringing the focus to Kennedy's sophisticated decor scheme. Though the furnishings are predominantly neutral, focused pops of color, pattern, and varying textures bring plenty of interest.
Get The Look: We loved how Kennedy incorporated Lucite and glass in the living room.

The Project: Jetset Prefab
Why We Love It: Though the home is on the smaller side, it feels just so spacious. The furniture arrangements create intimate "rooms" within the open floor plan. Focused use of color, shape, and scale also helps define the space.
Get The Look: We were drawn to the layered textures in the combination dining and living area, which give the space a cozy vibe.

Tiger Woods' wife agreed to a confidentiality clause
HollywoodNews.com: Just yesterday we reported that Tiger Woods' soon to be ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, will walk away with $100 million from the divorce, a lot less than the reported $750 million she was hoping to get. In addition, she will receive child support, but the specific amount has not been disclosed.
However, more details regarding the divorce have surfaced and it turns out that Elin and Tiger agreed to a confidentiality clause, according to TMZ. This basically means that she's not allowed to do any interviews, go on any talk shows, or even write a book.
It looks like Elin has to keep her mouth shut on this one, rather than reaping more of the rewards.

Are you considering giving your house or business a fresh look? Do you need to repaint after a tenant has vacated your property? Do you have to fix water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls in which mould has been eliminated? It could be tempting to do the job yourself, which can result in cost savings. But, there are lots of reasons you should consider hiring a professional painter and decorator support.
Prices of Equipment
Hiring a professional painter and decorator means that the painter comes with the tools that they will require to do the job properly, will wash those tools up when they are done and will require them away to be saved elsewhere.
Protection of Your Property and Avoiding a Mess
A professional painter and decorator will have the right equipment and be educated and experienced with how to protect furniture, flooring, cupboards, paths and other items which you don't want painted out of any damage. If your work involves staining, an expert will have the right equipment and expertise to use the stain correctly to attain the perfect finish and once attained, shield the finish.
A professional painter will even thoroughly clean the work area once the job is finished.
Planning is Key
An expert painter and painter will know that preparation is the trick to a great looking, long-lasting paint job. The walls or other surfaces that have to be painted might have to be thoroughly cleaned, patched, degreased and/or primed. Areas with mold or water staining may require additional treatment and diluting until they are prepared for a last paint job. It's a good deal of work and if it's not done properly with proper tools and techniques, it will not result in an excellent finish.
Skills and Patience
Painting takes patience to produce a beautiful excellent finish and in addition, it takes skill that is developed with training and experience. A professional will understand how to complete each of their preparation and painting jobs required to reach the best effect.
Back in Dublin, there are a number of options that a professional painter and decorator may open for you, which you could not have the skills or experience to do yourself, including special finishes (intumescent finishes (which can be fireproof), faux finishes and textured painting, by way of example).
A professional painter will also understand the materials which are needed to perform the work correctly. Which primer will offer the correct coverage? Oil or latex? Matte, semi-gloss, high gloss? Which primer foundation is required? What paint base? If the wall be prepared with drywall compound or plaster? Roller or spray?
A professional painter will have the ability to recommend materials which are better to achieve the look you need, while avoiding any harm to your surfaces. With that advice, you can achieve a higher quality finish that will last.
For outdoor tasks, a specialist will understand the right weather, temperature and sunlight conditions to finish the job with all the best results. Stains react differently in direct sunshine than when it is overcast, and at different temperatures. While rain obviously impacts the job, heat and humidity may also impact the quality of exterior paint finishes. A regional expert painter will understand the proper stuff to use to produce your exterior last as long as possible in Dublin's climate.
Climbing on ladders while trying to apply paint properly is a skilled job which requires careful attention and focus to prevent severe injury and harm. The higher the website that needs painting, the greater the danger of an accident. For inside projects with large areas or outside jobs, a professional painter will have all the tools and experience required to do the job correctly and safely, including the proper dimensions and layout of ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is valuable and painting yourself takes a substantial quantity of time. Using a professional painter and decorator deal with the work for you can save you days and times of work, and can normally be achieved in a far shorter time period.
A study from Trinity College Dublin suggests that the average Irish person requires 28 hours per day to accomplish all his or her tasks. Avoid including a paint job to that and talk to a professional painter about your requirements.

In its publication from September 24, Le Figaro, one of France's newspapers of record, dedicated a full page to this article: "The Georges Mathieu renaissance has begun".
Renowned the world over from the 1950s to the 1970s, this giant of lyrical abstraction then endured a long purgatory until his death. The artist is finally getting his just deserts from the art world.
Is this the start of a renaissance for Georges Mathieu, a French star of the 1950s and 1960s, known around the world and yet somehow undervalued? Everything suggests this is indeed the case. It is not by chance that the Parisian gallery owner Daniel Templon has organized the first personal exhibition of this founder of lyrical abstraction. Mathieu had a decisive role within the French arts scene, which was dominated by geometrical abstraction in the years following World War 2. […]
At the end of 1965, Daniel Templon's discovery of Les Capétiens partout ! 1Capetians Everywhere!, hanging in the main staircase of the National Museum of Modern Art, was a "veritable visual shock which sparked (his) passion for painting," he explains. In front of the immense 2.5 m x 4 m canvas adorning the walls of his Rue Beaubourg gallery, L'Écartèlement de François Ravaillac, assassin du roi de France Henri IV, le 27 mai 1610, à Paris en place de Grève 2The Quartering of François Ravaillac, assassin of Henry IV, King of France, on May 27, 1610 in Paris, on the Place de Grève, pictured at the top (1960), he holds the deep conviction that Mathieu is "a painter whose immense importance has not yet been fully understood by the art market".
"A logical correction"
"Alongside Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Pierre Soulages or Zao Wou Ki, whose works go for tens of millions of dollars, Mathieu clearly merits a sincere comparison, he notes. One such indication came in 1959. Tellingly, after seeing his pieces displayed at the Kootz Gallery in New York, American critic Clement Greenberg, in his book Art and Culture, called Mathieu the most important European painter. […]
There will be a logical correction. And this exhibition should contribute to it."
After a meteoric rise between the 1950s and 1970s, Georges Mathieu, whose works had been in the hands of the greatest dealers (from Stadler to Drouin, not to mention Facchetti) and had enjoyed acclaim thanks to his retrospective in 1963 at the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, and to his publication of his book Beyond Tachism, endured a long period of purgatory, lasting until his death in 2012. Today, the trend seems to have reversed itself. […]
In private, Mathieu's works have gone for over the 2 million euro bar. "It's a very positive indicator of his worth. I sense a more and more audible quiver", explains dealer Franck Prazan, who champions his work on the secondary market, with historic pieces from 1940 to 1960.
For the first time in his history, the artist made waves at Art Basel's Art Unlimited, a gigantic modern and contemporary art event which has up until now been reserved for installations, monumental sculpture, performance, and video pieces. No one could have ever imagined a Georges Mathieu painting would be exhibited there, notwithstanding its massive 2.5 m x 6 m dimensions. "Five years ago, my project would have failed, Franck Prazan explains. I knew that it was a risky endeavor, but I was right, according to some art advisors who so far had looked down on the artist."
Asian interest
"We're seeing a rereading of this artist, who became a full-time painter starting in 1963, and who actually codified and put lyrical abstraction into practice. He was not just a great painter; he is also a painter whose work has left its mark on the history of painting. After Mathieu, painting will never be the same", explains this dealer who went on to exhibit a Limbe 3Limbo from 1947, oil on canvas, 96 cm x 96 cm, in an installation devoted to Michel Tapié, at the next FIAC in October at the Grand Palais. […]
Asia begins to take note. After Zao Wou Ki, who beat records at Christie's in Hong Kong, why not Mathieu? There is no reason the artist shouldn't match or exceed de Staël, Soulages or Riopelle. "Renewal will come from this continent, confirms Olivier Fau, from Sotheby's Department of Contemporary Art in Paris. When it went up for auction in Hong Kong for the first time around 7 years ago, the success was instantaneous." Since then, there haven't been any sales that didn't include a Mathieu. He even had a breakthrough in Shanghai. On October 1st, a late canvas from 1989 entitled Souffle amer 4Bitter Breath (97 cm × 130 cm), was up for sale between 78,000 and 167,000 euros. The only thing left is to have a retrospective at a museum like the Centre Pompidou.

Trivia: In one scene Jack Stanfield is typing codes. These codes are CISCO 2 codes
Goofs: Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers):
When Jack logs into the router to filter the attempted hack coming from multiple countries, he creates an access list which only would filter a few addresses and allows everything else. His cohort's expression of "That would even eliminate false positives!" is fully false.
Quotes: [first lines] Bill Cox:
Hello Jack.
Was good the first and second time I saw it... when it was called "Patriot Games" and "The Fugitive"Rating: 4/10 Take a gray-haired Harrison Ford, place him in a business suit and then
have him fight someone conveniently wearing all black, and you'd swear
you were watching any number of movies from the last fifteen years.
Name Ford's character Jack, and you'd think that would narrow it down
to a good one. Then again you could just be suckered into seeing
"Firewall" which borrows and doesn't add from the Ford post-Jones
collection.In a play-it-safe campaign to show the world that he isn't too old,
Harrison Ford is pushed into "Firewall". It's been fourteen years
since, "Patriot Games", in which Ford played a man that seemed over the
hill then, and here he is today in the same situations. To jog your
memory, Ford has been making a living playing essentially the same
character in similar situations for years, thanks to the aforementioned
"Patriot Games", "The Fugitive", and "Air Force One"."Firewall", directed by Richard Loncraine, concerns the tale of Jack
Stanfield, played by Harrison Ford, being forced through the methods of
Bill Cox (Paul Bettany), into electronically stealing from the bank he
keeps hackers out of on a daily basis. Cox has a bargaining chip, the
Stanfield family. Eventually Cox and his team baby-sit the hostages and
circumvent there own success. Jack then hunts them down, and none of
this comes as a surprise due to the formulaic structure of the picture.Some may find "Firewall" a difficult film to dislike because it plays
all the clichés. It isn't artistic but rather commercial film-making.
Borrowing from every film mentioned above, it uses elements from what
worked and safely combines them in a coherent, yet unexciting manner.
The action scenes don't come till the end of the picture, and those
five minutes offer little more than stunt work put on by actors half
Ford's age. This is a vehicle for Ford and as the audience we are
supposed to subconsciously see this as a practice run at a fourth
Indiana Jones film. With such blatant disregard for a plot and even
unique action, you can view this movie as the precursor to "Indiana
Jones and the Gated Community".There is an element that seems realistic and that is the acceptable
number of henchmen who are employed by the leader. If they are trying
to steal money, then having less people to divvy up the bounty would
result in a greater payday. Cox has a modest four men working with him.
Unfortunate for both him and the viewer, their lack of common sense is
staggering. For example, the family dog Rusty, plays a prominent role
when the bumbling fools take him hostage. There should be a logical
reason for taking Rusty. With his family already held captive in an
unknown locale; I'm sure Jack Stanfield was ready to walk away from
them and start a new life. But wait, Rusty is missing too, now I have
to comply with their demands. This ultimately destroys the credibility
of the screenplay.Performances in the film are convincing. Virginia Madsen is good as the
relaxed wife considering the situation her character is put through. My
favorite role was of Paul Bettany as a sometimes caring villain that
flips a mean pancake. Despite this, director Richard Loncraine has
crafted a film that is best described as what a computer would spit out
if the command was: thriller. Everything functions to drive the story
on its merry way. Lacking character nuances, rich emotions, and
beautiful scenery is OK for a suspense film about robbing a bank. Where
"Firewall" betrays the genre is in not providing twists, originality,
or an intriguing story.

"Take it how you want if you want to take it", Nenebi quoted 2Chainz when he was asked if whether his works should called poems or songs by host Sammy Flex on AM Pluzz (a morning show on Pluzz 89.9FM).
The host was questioning him on why he used poem and song interchangeably to describe his works. According to the poet and songwriter, his works has both spoken word delivery and singing so any labeling could fit them.
"I'm a poet, I do poetry but the work as to whether they are poems or songs, I will live it for the listeners to judge because I write musical choruses for other people to do on my recordings", Nenebi further explained citing his works, Me, My Selfie and Eyes featuring Mzbel and Sandra Claus (Chlistmas in Kumasi), both of which were premiered on the show as examples.
George Quaye, host of The Pundit on GhOne TV called into the show to commend Nenebi, describing him as a "very talented young man" and asked him to define his artwork for his listeners to which he responded with, "I am a spoken word artist. I'm a poet, I call what I do 'Afropop Poetry' but I still maintain that I want the listeners to call it what they want to".
Sally Frimpong-Manso, a panelist on the show called Nenebi's unique style of combining poetry recital and singing as "refreshing and different".
She wasn't amused by his appearance and speech ability (he cleared that he had a stammering problem) but suggested he focused on reaching out to corporate brands.
Another panelist, Justice Oteng, a producer, said he was moved by Nenebi's delivery but commended Mzbel's singing saying, "I have never heard Mzbel exhibit such skills. I was blown away. I believe she has more talent under her sleeves".
The other two panelists, Mr. Logic and DJ Willie Roy, were both full of praise for his unique style.
Nenebi released Me, My Selfie and Eyes featuring Mzbel last week as the second single from his debut album, See Me Naked.

Seb has been an anime fan since the late 90s and is particularly fond of anything post-apocalyptic, amusing, catgirly, ecchi or containing exquisite aerial battles. Living in Leeds with his cats and living up the bachelor life, Seb enjoys whiling the nights away deep in a book, game or a damn good series.
One of the things that I have learnt over the last few months is that managing people is hard work. I only have a few people who I have to "command" and to be honest, its bloody tough. These people are at least semi-normal and human (at least I think they are), so when I am presented with the thought of a clan of yokai, over a hundred strong, all commanded by a young chap with almost complete authority I have nothing but, well, envy that he is able to cope. What is more impressive is that he manages to remember all of their names, their species and their special abilities. A truly impressive feat.
Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan is the anime adaptation of the long-running and on-going Shonen Jump manga which is available in the UK via Viz Media. This first half of the first series covers the introductory and the first story arc of this manga.
The story surrounds the life of Rikuo Nura, who just happens to be the forthcoming third successor to the head position of the Nura Clan, a notorious family of yokai who haunt and torment humanity throughout the central parts of Japan. Thankfully for Rikuo, he is not wholly evil and his yokai soul only forms one quarter of his whole. Rikuo, unlike the rest of his clan, wants to help humanity and embrace them, and he performs good deeds and lives out his life as a good little high school student. At least, he does until the evening comes along. Once his human self sleeps, his true yokai spirit emerges and he becomes the true master of all yokai.
The problem with Rikuo is, other than him being a bit of a hormonal fourteen year old, that he doesn't actually want to be this Master of all yokai. He wants to be normal, have friends, go to school and date pretty girls who are either afraid of yokai or fight them in demonic combat... at least as first. As potentially the most powerful yokai, when he isn't a do-goody human anyway, Rikuo may in the end not have a choice as to which direction his life will take. Like it, or loathe it, he will become the head of the clan and the management of the clan's armies, their dealings with their enemies to the south and with the humans, and the responsibility for the future of the Nura clan, will rest on his shoulders. Consider my envy vanquished.
Rikuo doesn't travel alone of course - as the head of the clan who is vulnerable 75% of the time, he is constantly accompanied by his clan-appointed body guards, the beast of a former-man Aotabo and the cold and cute Tsurara. These two are both Rikuo's closest friends within the clan (as in they are actually friends, rather than just servants) and follow him around school in human form.
Without naming yet more names from my notebook (I am on the second page of key characters), the final character introduced is that of Rikuo's grandfather, the current leader and supreme commander of the Nura clan. This graceful gentleman, whose endearing feature is his enormous head, has the unique ability to sneak and steal candy from humans by turning invisible; an ability he later uses to help defeat enemies. (It isn't strictly invisibility, more of a manipulation of fear, but that requires a long explanation which we won't get into)
Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan is a linear story, with all of the episodes except for the inescapable recap episodes following on from another in order of the manga. The first arc within these first thirteen episodes follows Rikuo as he faces his internal conflict about his choice as to whether to become the leader of the clan, and serves as an introductory series of episodes bringing in all of the major characters and the other subservient aspects of the Nura clan. The first major story arc, the Gyuki Arc, where an ally family within the Nura clan turns against Rikuo is covered in full within these first thirteen episodes, with the final non-recap episode consisting of the opening chapter of the Shikoku Arc.
For those familiar with the Nura manga (I personally only partially fit into this category, having recently picked up the first few volumes), you will find that the series is quite faithful to the source material in both story and art form, with only some re-sequencing of certain minor events. For those uninitiated with Rikuo and his co-habitants, the series does not give you much of a chance to get into the universe and the characters before you are thrust into the world of yokai loyalty and territorial in-fighting. This is not a series you can half-heartedly play Sim City to, I will assure you that!
Story-wise, these first thirteen episodes are a little slow at times and quite disconnected, but this too is as per the original source material. Through the next story arc the story progresses quite quickly, so there is a lot to look forward to as Rikuo has to prove himself a worthy leader of the Nura clan.
One of the more difficult aspects to grapple with is the highly complex universe and relationships between the characters. In these first few episodes alone I counted a few dozen separate characters, most of which are pivotal to the flow of the story and the events taking place. That is not easy to keep track of, so having your wits about you is worthwhile. One of my minor issues with the series is the unfortunate cast for the English dub who, I found, don't fit the voices of their characters at all. Of particular annoyance was the chap playing the leader of the Kiyojuji Paranormal Patrol (consisting of several of Rikuo's school friends, including Tsurara). Kiyotsugu, whose voice actor is Sam Riegel I think, completely ruins every scene by over-reacting and acting like an utter prat. I don't often have the urge to strangle actors. That said, the other performances were quite passable and if you can ignore Kiyotsugu's voice, the English dub is enjoyable. Another minor issue I had is the quite lazy art style of the series, whose low budget unfortunately becomes obvious when it comes to dialogue and action heavy scenes when lips stop moving, pauses ensue, and the backgrounds become progressively darker to hide the lack of animation. The overall animation is not brilliant and it feels quite similar to Yu Yu Hakusho a lot of the time, for some reason, while the overall visual appeal isn't helped by a poor NTSC to PAL transfer that makes any pans within scenes incredibly jerky and juddery. That said, the source material isn't exactly an artistic masterpiece either.
Nura is set to be a longer running series, with both the first and second series dubbed into English, and the first series licensed in the UK with part two of this twenty-six episode series is available later this year. Nura: Rise of the Yokai is a quite difficult series for the un-initiated, but with repeated viewings of the first six episodes, the universe and the characters become more accessible and the universe becomes a lot deeper as a whole. The series itself is a quite intriguing look into the life and politics of the monster world and a fine, if very heavy, addition to any collection.

Nikon published its Q3 2013 earnings and announced that it cut the sales volume forecast for the year ending on March 31 due to dreadful sales in multiple markets across the world.
The financial estimation for the year which ends in March 2013 has been cut down by Nikon. The Japanese company published its Q3 2013 results and due to sluggish camera sales, the annual profit forecast was decreased.
Looking for a scapegoat
Nikon blames the European market for this situation as the demand on the old continent has dramatically diminished. Furthermore, the Chinese market was also to blame as the company had expected to maintain high sale levels in China, but the consumers did not feel the same way.
Things did not go according to plan and business in China was a lot "worse than expected" in the third quarter for the 2013 financial year, said Nikon's Chief Financial Officer, Junichi Itoh.
Another reason why the company reported such poor financial results was the mid-November camera price decline. Due to strong competition from other camera manufacturers, prices had to be reduced to keep up the sale levels.
Nikon has published a net income forecast of 38 billion yen, which represents about $405 million. This is 37% less than the company's previous net income forecast of 60 billion yen. Market analysts were disappointed to hear about the camera maker's forecast as they were expecting a 61 billion yen net income for the year ending on March 31.
Additionally, Nikon cut the dividends per share to 12 yen, down from 21 yen, fact which can be noticed in the company's financial results of the third quarter which ended on December 31, 2012.
Nikon also cut DSLR camera sales by 100,000 units and interchangeable lens sales by 200,000 units. This means that the company is expecting the trend to continue and analysts are claiming that this is the right thing to do, as it would be foolish to believe otherwise.
Canon is doing better
In the meantime, Canon reported a 14% bigger profit forecast thanks to the weakening yen. Canon also said that the company's more expensive DSLR cameras and lenses are selling at a faster rate than predicted, therefore it found itself in a position which allowed it to up the net income forecast.
Although it has a more positive outlook for this financial year, the EOS maker is also struggling with poor camera sales. People are buying fewer cameras and they will keep doing so, as the worldwide is not recovering.
