I have been part of several different book groups. Right now I am a member of a great book group, but I have had both positive and negative experiences in the past. In a late post, I will go into more detail about what is great about the current book group, but now I want to focus on past experiences.
Some of the negatives have been because of differing expectations for a book group. In one group that I briefly joined, the chosen book was going to be the only reading some of the group members did that month. Most of those members wanted something light and fun. The commitment was keeping them motivated to read, and they felt that one book a month challenged them enough. The group discussions were much like the books, light and popular. There was little disagreement during discussion and, for me, no challenge in reading the books. The book choice was often a book without a lot of depth. During this experience, I recommended a deeper book. Many of the women in the group simply refused to read the book and didn't come to that discussion session. This was disheartening for me, and I think I only went back to two meetings after that.
Another book group that I was part of was good for the most part, but there was one individual that could not tolerate differences of opinion. She would simply talk over anyone who disagreed with her. This led to discussions that were sometimes rather shallow.
Some of the positive experiences I have had with book groups were helped by good book selection. Some books lend themselves to deeper discussion, and more topics for discussion. The book Life of Pi is an example of one of the great book club selections from one of these positive experiences. It includes some of the following topics for possible discussion: religion, coming of age, zoos and animal treatment, how people can be like animals, emigration, being orphaned, India and Canada. This is just one book, and the list doesn't include every possible topic from it.
Another positive experience was with a small group that fluctuated between four to six members. We rotated the book selection and hosting. This worked well because we were all choosing books with multiple possible discussion topics. We were able to read a good variety of books before the group members moved or had scheduling difficulties.
Book clubs can be a wonderful or frustrating way to share what we are reading. More on this topic to come!

The increased availability, robustness, and moderate cost of sensors; the increased capacity of computer chips; and the wide spread of Internet and wireless connectivity are adding a new dimension to models of human living and working.
Embedding machine intelligence into the working environment, tools, and processes can make even routine tasks easier. A smart vehicle may eventually suggest using a different type of fuel, knowing the expected temperatures and location of the vehicle during the upcoming trip. Analyzing how a repair procedure is created, a smart vehicle may instruct its owner or technician about the repair procedure, mounting of the snow-chains, or changing the oil. Assembly tools such as a smart wrench may link real-time measurements with actions performed to advise further steps in the assembly process, thanks to the advanced computing and communication technologies available in the surrounding environment and other products.
A combination of several elements brings intelligence to smart products. Sensors measure the environment and the activity of the user, actuators act on the environment or perform functions on behalf of the user, and communication means connect the smart product to other products and the rest of the world. The core of the smart product's intelligence is a knowledge technology combined with the ability to comprehend the user and surrounding environment (i.e. context), coming from reasoning software and intelligent decision rules.
It is widely recognized that additional methods and techniques should be established to meet the needs of the development of future smart products systems. The current research is advancing in several complementary directions, such as 1) clarifying the concept of a smart product from business and technical points of view; 2) implementing various dimensions of smart products systems, including situation awareness, autonomy, and personalization; 3) researching and developing the enabling technologies to implement the functions of smart products; and finally 4) proposing novel support tools to ease the smart product developer's work (see Figure 1).
Research direction in the area of smart products engineering
This article presents a systematic review of existing research in the previously identified domains, providing an analysis of an up-to-date set of technologies that play a critical role in the realization of intelligence and in the sophisticated proactive behavior of smart products. The requirements for the tools facilitating the rapid prototyping of contextual applications and services based on future smart products systems are, in particular, highlighted. The objective of this review is to summarize the existing research in the domain of smart products engineering, to discuss the future trends in the development of smart products systems, and to identify further research needed to ensure the practical execution and success of future smart products systems.
Developer Support Tools: The tools that are designed to facilitate the work of the service developer. Examples are simulators, modelers, visualizers, and code generators.
Reasoning about Knowledge: A method of thinking about knowledge models using logic, deduction, and induction as tools, with the objective of deriving new knowledge and overall understanding of the context.
Machine Intelligence: The ability of original objects (i.e. machines) to accomplish specific tasks in the presence of uncertainty and variability, using sensing and reasoning capabilities.
Knowledge Model: A computer interpretable description of a product and related processes. some knowledge representation language or data structure that enables the knowledge to be interpreted by software and to be stored in a database or data exchange file.
Middleware: A software layer that is built to hide the heterogeneity of hardware and software from applications.
Resource Constrained Device: A device that has limited processing and storage capabilities, and that often runs on batteries.

Over the past few months, I have published a few articles discussing the advantages of our soft turn on ZVS Buck topology when it is applied to a wide ranging (8V-36V) input voltage combined with large step down ratios of as much as 36:1. Our PI33xx series of DC-DC converters provide best in class efficiency at higher input voltages by full utilization of the ZVS topological benefits, with heavy emphasis on zero voltage turn on of the high side MOSFET. The performance of our PI33xx has been so well received that many customers have asked us "How can your new topology help us with lower input voltage conversion that is rather limited in range?"
This is an excellent question. While most Engineers can readily understand that reduction of the drain to source voltage by 90% at 36V input (switching at 1MHz) can save 0.65W in power loss due to parasitic capacitance (1nF) of the high side MOSFET alone, the benefit of the same reduction in a 12V application results in less than 73mW. So how does the ZVS topology improve a lower voltage application? In the ZVS topology, zero voltage turn on is only part of the benefits. Zero current switching is also a main part of the topology.
The ZVS topology applied to lower voltage inputs still prevents body diode conduction of the parasitic diode of the synchronous MOSFET PRIOR to turn on of the high side MOSFET. This is achieved by throttling back energy storage just enough to provide softer switching than conventional regulators and elimination of the body diode conduction. Lower voltage means lower voltage MOSFET's with lower on resistance which reduces RMS conduction losses while having less penalty in high side gate drive losses due to partial ZVS resonant turn on. Variable frequency operation allows a high efficiency over a wide dynamic range, with internal losses and inductor losses very well balanced. Figures 1 and 2 provide a side by side comparison between the PI3301-X1 and the low voltage counterpart PI3423 3.3V output. The PI3424 5V version is also introduced that produces a whopping 75W at 96% efficiency.
The buck regulators provide a host of benefits for the designer including:
- Operating Range
- Vin (8 – 18 V) and with widely trimmable Vout (1 – 5 V)
- -40°C to 125°C operating range
- High Efficiency
- >96% peak 12 V to 5 V @ 75W
- Light load and full load high efficiencySimple to Use -> Fast Development Time
- 10 x 14 x 2.6 mm LGA SiP package
Thanks for your attention and see you next time.

Horizon has also agreed to fund further research in base editing at the Rutgers University.
Horizon Discovery Group plc, one of the globally reputed gene editing industry contenders, has reportedly inked a partnership with The State University of New Jersey, Rutgers. As per reliable sources, the agreement has been forged for developing and commercializing a gene editing technology – called base editing, that finds applications in new cell therapy development and is expected to augment Horizon's research tools and services.
Credible reports cite that Horizon will join hands with the Rutgers University to develop the novel base editing platform from Dr. Shengkan Jin laboratory. As a part of the agreement, Horizon has already made a non-material payment to Rutgers, garnering the option to exclusively license the base editing technology to be used in all therapeutic applications. Sources familiar with the knowledge of the matter also claim that Horizon will fund further research in base editing at the Rutgers University while simultaneously undertaking evaluation and proof-of-concept studies at Horizon.
A report published by Genomeweb claims Terry Pizzie, CEO, Horizon, to have stated that base editing is one of the most potentially transformative of all gene editing technologies and is equipped with the ability to target numerous diseases that so far have no treatment. As a global leader in the field of gene modulation and gene editing, both in the applied as well as research markets, Horizon is rather thrilled to join forces with the Rutgers University, Pizzie added.
Further commenting on the partnership, Pizzie said that by extending Horizon's scientific and IP capabilities, the company will now be more than able to completely support its pharma, academic, and biotech partners to deliver enhanced cell therapy solutions to patients. Also, as a part of its five-year investment strategy, Horizon is committed to pouring in capital in high-grade technologies which maintain its market leadership – base editing technology being the case in point, he elaborates.

Daniel Bluman and Chandon Blue Top Turf Tour Standings to Win 1.40m Grand Prix at Wanderers Club
Wellington, FL – February 7, 2015 – As part of the 12-week Wellington Turf Tour series, The Ridge at Wellington traveled to the Wanderers Club, an exclusive country club in the heart of Wellington, to wrap up its fifth week of competition. The change of venue was set atop a pristine polo field, surrounded by an array of palm trees and settled beneath a blue sky. The venue change for many riders was not only breathtaking, but also the setting of a memorable jump off where riders attempted to catch Laura Kraut and Constable's blazing speed, set early on in the day. It came down to the final moments of the event when Daniel Bluman took over the lead just two-tenths of a second faster, and then Lauren Hough followed consecutively to overtake Kraut's time and capture the second place with Paris Sellon's Street Hassle.
Nick Granat designed the day's courses, challenging 66 horse and rider combinations with a technical track. Faults were sustained throughout the entire course, with the triple combination proving the most difficult with riders finding fault in the vertical-vertical-oxer combination. The opening track featured the sponsor jump, Hollow Brook Wealth Management, as the third obstacle of the track with its colors and detailing acting as the perfect foreground to the expansive Wanderers Club House nestled just behind.
Today, only 16 horse and rider combinations would clear the opening track and move onto the shortened course. Of the top contenders, only 11 would ride to two clean rounds.
Mark Bluman was the first rider of the day to traverse the track and move into the jump off with Liverpool, owned by Daniela Stransky. They set the pace at 41.144 seconds without incurring any faults. Eight trips later, Olympian Laura Kraut of Royal Palm Beach, Fla., rode Constable, owned by Cherry Knoll Farm, to a clear opening round to move into the jump off as the second contender of the short track.
Laura Kraut and Cherry Knoll Farm's Constable
The 8-year-old gelding has turned heads at international competitions across Europe and North America. Kraut rode the jump off course smooth and with efficiency, tripping the timers in 38.798 seconds.
"He has been very good while down here," Kraut explained of Constable. "He is an 8-year-old, and normally they go through this phase where they think they know more than they do. When you step them up and they make a few mistakes, it allows for them to become more mature. I was really pleased today to come here, to new surroundings with a beautiful grass field, and he was wonderful. I think he liked having a change of scenery."
She returned to the ring five rounds later with Zeremonie, owned by Old Willow Farms, LLC. She duplicated her earlier efforts aboard Constable with 8-year-old mare, breaking the beam in 39.422 seconds with her second double clear ride of the day. She sat at the top of the standings throughout the day with Constable, and concluded the event with the fifth place aboard Zeremonie.
As a believer in young horses and educational programs, Kraut has supported The Ridge at Wellington events since its inception in 2013. The Turf Tour Series helps riders of all levels, as well as horses, gain positive mileage and experience at different venues throughout the Wellington equestrian community. This was the first weekend that the $15,000 1.40m Grand Prix was held on a Saturday, which proved convenient for many of the riders.
"I love this structure! I am definitely a proponent of this system," Kraut said. "I was so happy that they held an event on Saturday. I have 40 plus horses at the Winter Equestrian Festival, and it is difficult for me to get away on a Friday, though I would love to-I think the change of venue is great, they learn so much."
Viggo Bjorklund and Atheme Z, owned by Gyliebo Farm, tried to catch Kraut's pace, but they fell just shy of her time. He posted a double clear effort in 39.401 seconds, just two hundredths of a second behind. It was not until the end of the day, in the final moments of competition that the winner would make his way onto the field.
Daniel Bluman and Chandon Blue, owned by Andressa Quadros, blazed the trail during the short track to speed through the timers in 38.551 seconds to take over the lead. Their quick foot speed across the ground surpassed Kraut and Constable by two-tenths of a second, following a similar path to that of Kraut, angling number one and two, and duplicating the tight rollback to the final oxer.
Daniel Bluman and Chandon Blue
"We had a little bit of luck, it was my first time ever jumping him in the ring," Bluman said. "He was here last year jumping in the High Amateur division with his owner, and then this year he was sent to me because she went to college. We are working on developing and seeing how far he can go. He definitely has a lot of quality and scope."
He continued, "The course is beautiful, it is an amazing venue, and it is very refreshing to come to a grass ring here in Wellington. It is convenient for us because our farm, Bluman Equestrian, is only two minutes away. It couldn't be any better here-the jumps are beautifully painted, it is quiet, relaxing, there is food and drinks, so everyone really likes it."
Lauren Hough followed only a couple of rounds behind Bluman with Paris Sellon's Street Hassle. The 9-year-old gelding followed a similar track to Bluman, keeping a consistent and speedy pace throughout the shortened course to finish in 38.694 seconds, knocking Kraut and Constable into the third place as the day came to a conclusion.
"Normally, Paris rides him, but she had to go to California for the weekend, so we thought we would give him a different venue," Hough said. "He has been doing the High Amateurs, and then we will be moving him up. I just stuck to my plan out there today; he is a fast horse naturally. The Turf Tour is a fantastic structure, this series provides fantastic opportunities for different venues and we are appreciative of it.
Lauren Hough and Street Hassle
McLain Ward and Best Buy, owned by Ansgar Holtgers, ranked in sixth with a time of 39.457 seconds, while he also picked up the seventh place with his second mount, Azibantos, in an equally as speedy round. Lauren Hough and Upfront rounded out the top eight with a double clear posted in 39.658 seconds.
On the other side of the polo field, in Ring 2, competition was heating up for the Junior/Amateur-Owner Classic and the Children's/Adult Jumper Classic. Alison Register and Gems Bond captured the $3,000 NAL Junior/Amateur Owner Classic with a speedy jump-off time of 31.934 seconds. In the $2,000 M&S/NAL WIHS Child/Adult Jumper Classic it was Rebecca Lannoye and Corvette who rode to the top of the standings.
The International Polo Club Palm Beach will host the sixth week of The Ridge at Wellington Turf Tour, showcasing the best that show jumping has to offer. Both Wednesday and Friday's events promise to be exciting, with the 1.30m-1.35m classes and the $15,000 1.40m Grand Prix running from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The turf will see low and medium schooling jumpers with two classes running concurrently offered at each height on both days. The schooling jumper classes will continue to be offered on Friday throughout the remainder of the Turf Tour.
Meadowbrook Horse Transport will continue to provide transportation to and from the horse show and other locations throughout Wellington for both the Wednesday and Friday events next week. The transportation is a nominal fee of $50 per horse, and will be calculated into the final show fees. To make a reservation for one of the three pickup times: 8 a.m., 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. please call Peter Tufano of Meadowbrook Horse Transport at (954) 415-7217, or call Nona Garson at (908) 500-0996

Beyond Restoration
Ortho vs. Restorative Course Now Live!
Ortho vs. Restorative Course Now Live!By Denise Prichard on February 24, 2015 | 0 comments
âCan I treat this patient without orthodontics?â
This is one of the questions that Dr. Frank Spear gets asked the most by restorative dentists.
Excessive, uneven or asymmetrical gingival levels are not uncommon in the restorative practice. The etiology and treatment options can be confusing, and often lead to no treatment, inappropriate treatment or unpredictable treatment.
So what do you when a patient with malaligned teeth requests treatment, but has also expressed that orthodontics isnât their preferred treatment plan?
In our new course, Ortho vs. Restorative to Correct Malaligned Teeth â Six Key Questions (Part I), Dr. Frank Spear reviews the six key questions to help identify etiology, treatment options and compromises â as well as document a case from treatment planning to completion, utilizing the six questions.
After viewing this course on ortho vs. restorative treatment to correct malaligned teeth, youâll have a better understanding of:
- Systemic evaluation of ortho vs. restorative treatment
- Identifying compromises and clearly communicating them to the patient
- The six questions utilized when reviewing a case
Denise Prichard is the Editor for Spear Education.

What We Do
Project Helping's Y[our] Moment Program is designed to teach you the skills to share your mental health story.
We are a member-led community bringing together people thriving with mental health challenges to create actionable programming and meaningful conversations about mental health – at work and in life.
Together, along with community allies here in Colorado, we can create a more hopeful, open world.
Learn More
We Live In A World Where Fear & Shame Surround Brain Conditions – But It Doesn't Have To Be That Way.
1 in 5 Americans live with a mental health challenge – more than the African, Asian, and Native American populations combined. But 60% don't get the treatment they need, and that's a major reason why suicide is the second leading cause of death for ages 10 – 39. There are a lot of groups working to change that statistic. Support groups, inexpensive treatment providers, employee assistance programs, the list goes on, but until the people who needs help ask for it, none of these options are effective. People are too afraid or too ashamed to ask for help.
We realized if 60% don't get help than 40% do, and of that group, 80% will find a successful treatment. That represents tens of millions of Americans who have figured out how to integrate their conditions into their lives. How to harness it and thrive.
Brain Disorders And Exceptional Gifts Go Hand In Hand
It's true. Without brain disorders, there would be no 'War and Peace'. No starry night. No emancipation proclamation. In fact, we know people with bipolar are four times as likely to have been straight A students and show an increased ability to empathize.
There's no shortage of gifted individuals with intimate knowledge of the problem who are very motivated to take action. the problem is they are currently live in hiding. So Y[our] Moment brings together a group of people uniquely positioned to come up with big creative ideas and supporters who also have a trove of unshared experience and knowledge. Together we are learning how to identify the root causes of the problem and take the big ideas and break them down into experiments with well-defined plans and rigorous measurement. So our answer to whether or not something is a good idea can be tested.
Join Us
There's a growing movement – medical technology is beginning to help us see the problem. More leaders and celebrities are opening up about their experience, and eventually more people are going to realize suicide is one of the greatest threats to their child's life. At Y[our] Moment, we have prepared ourselves to harness the power of that movement as a vehicle for change, to transform energy and excitement into motivation and action. And to give people the Hope they need to live Openly.
Whether as a Y[our] Moment member, a leader on our Open Council, or a financial supporter. We invite you to join us in the movement to build an open world.

Minnesota's economy is on track to have a $1.5 billion budget surplus over the next two years. Should taxpayers get a cut?
Not long ago, Minnesotans did.
From 1999-2001, Gov. Jesse Ventura gave state surplus money back to taxpayers in the form of sales tax rebate checks. The average "Jesse check" in 2000 was $265. In 2001, the average rebate was $330.
Other states have made rebate checks a yearly tradition.
In Alaska, annual rebate checks are baked into the state Constitution. Since 1982, the state of Alaska has sent nearly every resident an annual check that draws from the state's extensive reserves from oil extraction.
The checks have ranged from $331.29 in 1984 to $2,072 in 2015.
Even the federal government has cut checks for taxpayers.
In 2001, as part of a major tax cut signed by President George W. Bush, American taxpayers were mailed checks that generally were between $300 and $600. In 2008, as the country was on the precipice of what would become the Great Recession, Bush again approved a rebate.
These "stimulus checks" reached as high as $600 for individuals and $1,200 for married couples.
DFL Gov. Mark Dayton was not in favor of the rebates, which he said hurt the state's financial stability. Neither was his predecessor, Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
At a press conference at the state Capitol on Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, R-Nisswa, dismissed the idea of using the surplus to issue "Jesse checks." He instead said the money should be used to repair roads and bridges.
"I think the general consensus was before, did we get the right bang for the buck for that?" Gazelka said. "I think there's better ways to do it."

Brandy Snaps
By Teresa on 04 July 2011 | Viewed 51746 times
Delicious gluten free brandy snaps. This fabulous recipe is from Sue Shepherd's book 'The Gluten-Free Kitchen', honestly they are so yummy and pretty easy to make once you get the hang of it.
100gms Unsalted Butter
2/3 C Brown Sugar
1/3 C Golden Syrup
65gms Fine Rice flour
2 tsps Ground Ginger
600ml Thickened Cream
Preheat the oven to 180oC, line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Combine the butter, sugar and syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. Sift the flour and ginger into the pan and stir until well combined. Cover and keep warm. You will need to make the snaps in batches of only 2 or 3 per tray as they need room to spread. Drop 1-2 teaspoons of mixture onto the baking trays and bake for 7-8 mins until golden brown and bubbling. They should be quite dark, but note that the difference between cooked and burnt only takes a few seconds! If they are too light though they will not become crisp and set properly.
Cool the snaps on the tray for 1-2 mins and then carefully lift them off and wrap them around a mould such as a rolling pin, cool slightly and then slide off the mould. Store in an airtight container once completely cooled and serve with thickened cream when ready.

Can you freeze them once they're cold? We're going camping so I'd be needing to make them a week or so before Christmas.
Posted by Karen on 30/11/11 at 07:24 PM
Hi Karen,
I don't believe you can freeze them but you can make them perhaps 3 days before you go camping and keep them in an airtight container - otherwise they go soggy :( Good luck and I hope that helps.
Posted by Teresa on 06/12/11 at 09:57 PM
These are great! Loved them, managed to retion them out to last for a week in an airtight container. Easy too. Whipped cream and mascarpone was delicious as a filling. Thanks.

In case you missed it, our round up of five key stories from art this week.
1. Dame Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi-British architect died on Thursday 31 March, of a heart attack while she was in hospital suffering with bronchitis in Miami, where she was developing the 1000 Museum. Hadid had created some of the most iconic architectural monuments of the modern world including the London aquatics centre built for the 2012 Olympic Games, Guangzhou Opera House and the MAXXI: Italian National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome. She was the first woman to win the prestigious Pritzker Prize in her own right. In her address upon receiving the Pritzker Prize in 2004 she said: "Studying the revolutionary Russian work I realized how Modern architecture built upon the breakthrough achieved by abstract art as the conquest of a previously unimaginable realm of creative freedom. Art used to be re-presentation rather than creation. Abstraction opened the possibility of unfettered invention." (via Art Net)
2. A fascinating exhibition, Art and Child, exploring the evolution of the child in painting is running at the Marmottan Monet Museum Museum in Paris. The exhibition features works of children, and their various roles in society, from the 15th century right up to the new masters of portraiture including Matisse, Picasso, Manet and Renoir. Read more on this story here.
3. The ancient UNESCO world heritage site of Palmyra, Syria, that was captured by Isil in May 2015 and partially destroyed by the group, in the belief that it's ancient ruins were idolatrous, was recaptured by Syrian government forces this week with the help of Russian air strikes. Though there is wide-spread damage to the ruins and many of the statues, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was quoted as saying: "Palmyra was demolished more than once through the centuries… we will restore it anew so it will be a treasure of cultural heritage for the world." (via The Art Newspaper)
4. Students at Columbia University have had an unexpected reaction to the donation of the abstract Henry Moore sculpture Figure Reclining. More than 1,000 students have signed a petition that states: "the sculpture in front of Butler Library will disrupt an otherwise crisp, geometric, and symmetrical landscape." A post on an administration blog stated, "The donation of this sculpture was accepted by the Committee on Art Properties and University administration over twenty years ago, with the permanent location approved more recently." Read more on this story here.
5. A book chronicling the friendship between the surrealist painter Salvador Dalí and the doctor that Dalí called his "guardian angel", and credited with a cure for skin cancer, Edmund Klein, has been published. Dalí & His Doctor: The Surreal Friendship Between Salvador Dalí and Dr. Edmund Klein has been written by Paul Chimera, who met Dalí and is the former publicity director of the original Dalí Museum of Beachwood, Ohio; details Klein's award-winning cancer research while exploring the creation, cataloguing, exhibition and sale of a collection of original drawings by Dalí as payment for Klein's private treatment of the artist.

The second round of the Virtual Racing School GT iRacing World Championship was held at the famous Suzuka circuit for a three hours race. CoRe SimRacing Orange with Kimmo Suominen and Sindre Setsaas showed a great race until an unfortunate incident out of the 130R corner abandoned all their hopes for a solid Top 15 result. The CoRe SimRacing Red team with Kristian Skumlien and Maxime Pauly finished in P28.
CoRe Orange qualifed in a promising 20th position after Sindre put in a solid qualifying time. CoRe Red had to start from P46. The start through the Suzuka esses went well until hell broke loose in the Degner 1 and 2 corner. A car in front of Sindre was spun – contact could not be avoided and cars had to go wide through the gravel to avoid any further incidents. A couple of positions were made for the CoRe SimRacing teams as a result. Sindre gained more and more time while he was stuck in a train of cars for the most of his double stint. Before he gave over to Kimmo, the CoRe SimRacing Orange BMW was close to the Top 15 of the field – until it went in for an early pitstop to avoid any upcoming traffic. The CoRe SimRacing Red team fought back into the Top 35 after being stuck at the back for quite some time.
Kimmo took over and immediately started to make up ground. After a battle against the Apex Racing BMW Kimmo was following them through the 130R corner while they lost grip and went into a drift. Kimmo could not avoid a contact and got black flagged due front wheel damage. CoRe Red with Maxime behind the wheel finished the race in P28. CoRe Orange was ending their result in P36. The broadcast of this race can be found here. The third round of the VRS GT World Championship is gonna be at Imola.

2019 Chinese Grand Prix Trip Report
Sarah Merritt and her husband traveled to the historic 1000th Formula 1 race in Shanghai last month. Read all about their experience at the 2019 Chinese Grand Prix, including lots of useful advice for fans considering visiting Shanghai International Circuit.
I love to travel to races and use it as an excuse to see some of the world at the same time. When I heard that the 1000th Grand Prix was going to be in China, it seems like a perfect opportunity to aim to be there, and see some of the things we had on our bucket list too!
We booked our flights with Virgin and these were direct, which British Airways also offer. The flight time to Shanghai from London Heathrow was around 11.5 hours, and we transitioned quickly to the local time, which is 7 hours ahead of the UK (although getting back to normal when we returned home has been so much more difficult!). We arrived at Shanghai Pudong airport, which is on the outskirts of the city. This is on the Metro network, but there is also the opportunity to use the superfast Maglev train from the airport into the city centre, travelling at 270mph!
Using the Metro to travel around Shanghai is by far the easiest way to travel as traffic can be heavy and journey times long. We used a travel card that was very similar to an Oyster card, and could be loaded with money at the customer services desk at the Metro stations, and this suited us being there for a longer period. You can also buy individual journey tickets at the machines in the station, and these do have a "change language" option to assist you, as well as 72 hour tourist tickets.
Once on the Metro itself, announcement, digital signs and maps are also in English, and we found traveling really easy. The Explore Shanghai Metro app was useful too, allowing you to view a map and also plan routes and journey times. Take note, people will board the train before you get off, and push you out of the way! We also found a lot of older people staring at us on the train, something that is mentioned in the guidebooks. It is not meant rudely, but with interest, and we had a few people ask to have a photo with us. Taxis are also quite cheap compared to the UK, and there are efficient queuing systems at major railway stations etc because the queues can be quiet long.
The city centre has many hotels, but we opted to stay nearer to the circuit in Nanxiang (three stops on Metro Line 11). My advice would be to position yourself near to the line 11 for ease of transport. Most western chain hotels have a presence here, and as normal, the best rates can be achieved by booking early.
Shanghai is a beautiful city, and truly a mixture of the traditional and the modern. One thing that all tourist places had in common, was that the tickets to enter are incredible cheap, most were only the equivalent of £4-5. People mention pollution, but we found it to be about the same as being in London.
We enjoyed our time in the city visiting the Yu Yuan Garden with it's beautiful Dragon walls and pagoda's from the Ming Dynasty, and joining the queue to cross the zig-zag Jiu Qu Bridge, which has nine corners as it is thought that evil spirits cannot go around corners! There was also a fabulous steamed dumpling restaurant near here – Nanxiang steamed buns are very famous! We took time to visit the Jade Buddha Temple, and I would also recommend booking onto an excursion to any of the nearby traditional Water Villages if you can fit that in.
On the modern side, the easily recognisable skyscrapers dominate any walk along the Bund, and allow for the required tourist photo to be taken (my tip – see these in both daylight and night). We visited the observation decks of World Financial Centre, and these afforded a wonderful view from above of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower (which also has a revolving restaurant which is also worth a visit).
The Nanjing Road shopping district is Shanghai's version of the West End, but with double the amount of people! Be patient, and follow the flow of people. The markets at the Shanghai Science and Technology Metro stop on line 2 are also worth a visit – be ready to barter for the best price! There is also a large Zoo in Shanghai, which is your chance to see a Panda if you aren't able to make the onward journey to Chengdu.
The Shanghai International Circuit is located to the north-west of the city, about an hour out from the city centre on Line 11 if travelling by Metro, but much longer by car due to the heavy traffic. The Metro station is located near the main entrance, and when leaving on race day, and efficient queuing system is put in place.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by channels leading to security checks with X-ray machines for bags, and scanners. Security is quite strict, and the guys we encountered did not speak much English, but there were English speaking staff around to assist with any communication issue. We had one, as the rules say no glass, and I had a souvenir mug in my bag which they classed as glass…a bit odd as these were being sold onsite in the circuit gift shop! Luckily, the solution was to collect any such items in an area to pick-up on your way out, and your ticket number was written upon it. You will also be asked to take a drink from any plastic drink bottles you have to proof that it is indeed a drink.
The fan village was large, containing the usual Heineken stands, as well as many food outlets selling both traditional food, and the usual burgers/pizza's. We thought these were somewhat cheaper than other races we had attended, and better quality! There were also many automotive stands for brands linked to the F1 teams.
The circuit has its own gift shop underneath the main Grandstand, and this I would highly recommend. If you love a souvenir as much as me, you'll be in heaven with their range of fridge magnets, keyrings, mugs and even circuit shaped paperclips! There are even postcards already with a stamp affixed, although nowhere onsite to post them that we could find. They do stock other items such as ½ scale helmets, but these were not competitively priced.
The main grandstand at the Shanghai International Circuit is huge, and the tiers range from cheapest in the lower to more expensive in the higher ones. We loved the fact that the circuit actually informs you which seats will be opposite the team of your choice, and for us, to sit in the lower tier amidst the McLaren fans worked out to be £140 each. The fencing did not inhibit our view, and the position of the garage meant that we had the start gantry to our left, pole position to our right, and the red carpet was rolled out for the national anthem right in front of us.
There are many screens on the pit building across the track, so wherever you are sat in the main grandstand, you should be able to see one. The atmosphere is amazing as supporters in each block are cheering, and I have to say the Kimi fans next to us were some of the most passionate! Also, the whole grandstand came alive when Damon Hill took to the track in his father's Lotus 49B.
Although you cannot walk the whole circuit like we do at some races we visit, it is essential that you walk along to Turn 1 and view the series of corners there. I can only liken it to watching an F1 car driving around a snail shaped track, but what I didn't realise until seeing them in the flesh is that there is such a height change as the cars progress through them! We sat on the grass in the GA area opposite and very much enjoyed watching practice here. Make sure you do it!
Are there any negatives to visiting this race? Well, there are few support races, no access to the track after the race for the podium, and no public pit walk, only one held for limited ticket holders and competition winners. There was also limited team merchandise – only Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull were up to date, and in other cases, they were selling last year's team kit to fans who didn't seem to realise. The 1000th GP t-shirt that F1 had advertised was not available anywhere. These things are all just worth knowing to save your time and help with planning, but didn't detract from the positive overall experience for us.
Whilst you are visiting this beautiful country, it would seem a great opportunity to visit other places and make the most of your trip. We took the bullet train to Beijing – 4.5 hours and £60 for a 2nd class ticket, which was larger than an airline seat, and faced the direction of travel. Attendants walk the train selling ice cream, pot noodles and popcorn, and it was a smooth journey, with great views of some different scenery as we whizzed along at 347km/h.
This gave us the opportunity to stay in Beijing and visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, which had a really useful audio guide with a map upon it. The Olympic Park and Birds Nest Stadium are worth an evening walk, and I'd say you must take a day trip to the Great Wall. (Recommendation – go to Mutianyu, not the busier Badaling, and take the toboggan down afterwards! It is ace!). We also visited the Chinese Acrobat show that is in all guide books, and it is well worth the experience, but get to the theatre early to buy tickets at the box office as it sells out.
The Subway in Beijing is easy to negotiate and cheap to use. If you are at a main station with suitcases, you will find that porters in red caps will ready to assist you with your luggage for a small charge. However, just be aware that we found taxi drivers in Beijing were not as nice to tourists, pollution was far more than we experienced in Shanghai, and the toilet situation was more daunting. I'd advise to carry some toilet paper and if the toilets are the kind that require you to have the ultimate in balance, use the disabled one!

Just submit inquiry using our contact form.
Koehler offers a wide range of recycled paper suitable for various different types of office application, crafts, and high-grade ecological packaging.
Awarded the "Blue Angel" environmental label, that paper is made from 100% secondary fibers and offer a natural feel and intensive colors.
When waste paper is processed for paper production, it usually uses less energy and water than production using cellulose. Every time paper is recycled, it can be considered an extension of the life-cycle of fresh fiber paper, which reduces the consumption of primary materials.
There is a long-standing tradition of recycling paper worldwide. It is not only done for ecological reasons. Waste paper is a valuable raw material and its re-use makes economic sense. It requires a well-developed collection system, so that waste paper can be collected and recycled in different quality categories. High-quality paper waste from printers ends up in a different system from mixed household material, and ideally, board is separated from paper as well. More and more office paper is also being collected separately in order to make the highest grades of recycled papers without losing much material. The world's leading collectors are Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where around three out of four kilograms of paper are recollected and recycled. The average collecting level in the EU is about 65%.

Meranti Sengkawang Merah
Scientific name: Shorea singkawang
Family name: Dipterocarpaceae
Meranti Sengkawang Merah trees in Taman Tugu
Meranti Sengkawang Merah tree is an indigenous rainforest tree amongst the 4,100 trees added to the Taman Tugu site, selected in collaboration with Forest Research Institute of Malaysia ("FRIM") and Malaysian Nature Society ("MNS"). This is one of the species being added which is considered as 'Vulnerable' on the International Union for Conservation of Nature ("IUCN") Red List of Threatened Species. This species is being threatened due to deforestation.
Physical Features
The tree is a small to medium-sized tree which can grow up to 30m tall and 95cm in diameter. The straight, cylindrical bole can be free of branches for 12-20m high and buttresses up to 3.5m high. The leaves are alternate and oblong-lanceolate shaped, measuring about 12-14cm long. The larger fruit calyx lobes go up to 8cm, only slightly longer than the nut.
The wood is a source of the timber 'Dark Red Meranti' which is mainly used for medium construction such as door, flooring, and windows. It is also used in furniture production.
These trees are usually found on undulating land or hills up to 500m above see level. These trees are found in Peninsular Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.

The Croatian discus thrower has won European titles at the last four championships and if she wins again in the German capital then she will have achieved something no other athlete – either man or woman – has ever done with five consultative continental crowns in the same individual discipline.
Nothing is ever certain but Perkovic will go to Berlin as the odds-on favourite to claim that fifth gold medal thanks to her impressive form in the last 12 months.
At the time of writing, she had won all nine of her competitions in 2018 and has a winning streak of 14 outings which stretches back more than a year, which started when she competed in the Italian town of Bellinzona last July and threw a stunning 71.41m, the best mark in the world for 25 years.
Although Perkovic has suffered a handful of defeats in the last few years, including notably at the 2015 IAAF World Championships by Cuba's Denia Caballero, you have to go back to 2010 for the last time she was beaten in direct competition by a European thrower.
However, Perkovic sensibly is not taking anything for granted despite history seemingly being on her side and the fact that she is more than six metres better than the next best European, Germany's Claudine Vita, in 2018.
There will be lots of girls challenging [for medals in Berlin], there is a lot of respect between us. Everyone knows that I want to be number one and that no other number is interesting, but they also know that I can have a bad day.
"The German girls will be strong in Berlin, there are five to seven of them who are strong but there are only three tickets to be invited to the championships and we know that Germany has always had good discus throwers – the world record holders are both German, Gabriele Reinsch and Jurgen Schult – but maybe it's time one little Croatian girl takes the title in Germany," she joked.
Although her stated stats are 183 centimetres high and a weight of 80 kilogramme compared to some of her rivals – for instance Germany's two-time world championships medallist Nadine Muller comes in 10cm taller and 10kg heavier – she is indeed somewhat slightly built, relatively speaking.
Perkovic is relishing a return to the Berlin Olympic Stadium, having not competed there since she was a teenager nine years ago.
"I really like Berlin, it was there that I had my first big senior competition, the world championships in 2009, I've only got good memories and good emotions for the city. I can't wait to return and try to defend my title there and I know that if I win it'll be the first time in history [of the European Athletics Championships] that somebody has won five titles [consecutively in the same individual discipline].
"It's nice to think that nine years later, I'm back in the same city where everything started, where I started to throw very far and where I started to become a good discus thrower," she enthused.
Despite all her accolades and honours, Perkovic has no problem with motivation and is clearly anything but complacent.
"I just love the sport and I love discus throwing. I like to look good, I like to travel but the happiest person on earth is Sandra Perkovic when she's throwing the discus more than 70 metres.
"I love track and field and I just want to stay healthy and compete [at the top] for 10 more years. It's an individual sport so how much you work means how much pleasure you will get at the end. I couldn't ask for a better combination."
In addition to climbing to the top of the podium, Perkovic also has one other aim in Berlin, a hug from the popular championship mascot Berlino who, remembering his antic with local star Robert Harting in 2009, seems to have an affinity for discus throwers.
"I didn't really get to meet Berlino back in 2009 because I didn't win at that championship (she finished ninth). I don't think I'll be able to pick Berlino up like Robert Harting did then… but if Robert is around this time, maybe he can help me!
"Being serious, I actually don't want to talk about taking a gold as you never know what can happen. I'm wishing and dreaming about the gold and I'm going to give my best to try to get it."
If the cards fall in her favour, then not just gold but also the championship record could be hers.
Diana Gansky of what was then East Germany threw 71.36m at the 1986 European Athletics Championships in Stuttgart. With Perkovic having thrown further than that this year, leading the world lists with her 71.38m from the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Doha, maybe another German host city will witness some even more spectacular distances.

Chapter 141 – Across the Terube Castle Wall (2)
Chapter 141 – Across the Terube Castle Wall (2)
– How's the battle going?
"It's been very rough."
– How's the Quest progress?
"We haven't had the luxury to assess the Quest progress."
– I guess the difficulty is higher than expected?
– Did you gain anything?
Natal, who had been having a conversation with the First Head, turned his head. The corpses of the monsters came into view.
They hadn't butchered it yet, so the corpses hadn't melted like ice cream. They still maintained their original form. There were a lot of variety of monster corpses. At a glance, he could see 7 types of monsters. It was hard to find any common characteristics between them. They were all distinct.
The most eye-catching one was the giant that was almost 5 meters tall. It had a single eye, and its skull was shaped like the head of a hammer. It looked bizarre.
The next monster that caught his eye was a 2 meter tall monkey that had a paper thin body. Its body looked so skinny that it was reminiscent of a wooden branch. Moreover, if one touched its skin, one wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the texture of its skin and a tree.
Then there was a beautiful looking monster that was a stark contrast to previous bizarre looking monsters.
It gave off a brilliant feeling like a crystal. Its claws were crescent-shaped, and it was 2 meters long with white fur. It didn't look like a monster. Instead, it looked like a animal that appeared in myths and legends.
Natal looked over the corpses, and he opened his mouth.
"I did."
Of course, these different types of monsters hadn't attack them all at the same time. The monsters each attacked on their own, and they had just gathered the corpses to one side.
The reason behind this was obvious. It was for research.
– Should I expect anything?
It was the basic of basics to research about a new monster. A proper video showing how to defeat these monsters had immediately monetary value. It could be exploited. This was especially true for the Hydra guild, since they used information as a weapon. Their ability to gather data was peerless.
This was why Natal was careful in answering the First Head's question.
"You should both anticipate and worry about the result."
– That's an interesting answer.
Interesting…… It basically meant he wanted an additional explanation.
At that moment, Natal re-winded his memory a little further back. He thought about the time when he decided to investigate the Northland.
It was the end of the Immoral Prince, and the interest of the Users naturally shifted to the third Main Scenario Quest.
Where was the starting point of the third Main Scenario Quest?
North, South, East and West.
It'll be located in one of those directions.
Hyrdra guild decided to focus on two directions. They went North and East.
However, the North held more significance since the Northland was located there. It had been the territory ruled by Prince Dean. If Prince Dean gained power away from the eyes of others, there was a very high possibility that he gained it in Northland where he had been in charge.
This was why the Hyrdra guild put more meaning and gravity to the North expedition. This was why the Hyrdra guild's best fighting asset was included within the expedition group. Aside from Sohank, there were 33 other Users included in the Northland expedition team. Their basic battle capability was high, and they were excellent in many other aspects too.
Their Raiding ability was lacking in comparison to the primary Raid team, but in terms of exploring and regular battles, this force was better than the primary Raid team.
However, after a single week into the expedition, they felt as if the stage they stepped onto was too much for them. The monsters here were strong.
These were different types of monsters compared to the ones they had faced before. There were a lot of differences on many fronts.
These corpses, which was about to be turned into ice cream, were a prime examples.
This Hammerhead Giant used its hammerhead to use a Head-butt attack. It was a bizarre form of attack. The Deadwood Monkey's camouflage ability was so good that it was chilling. Moreover, it possessed a poisonous stinger. For an opponent, it was the worst possible combination of skills to face.
New methods would have to be devised to defeat them.. Still, in another light, this could might drive up the anticipation and fun they would have in fighting them.
The problem was the white furred fox named Crystal Crescent Fox.
"We caught the white furred fox in the forest."
– Did you kill only one?
"They don't travel in a pack, but we caught three of them.
– So it isn't a rare monster.
"We shouldn't have found it in a forest. They shouldn't be living here."
Even in reality, beasts were tailored to the region they live in. However, the monsters in Warlord didn't always suit their environment perfectly.
However, most of their characteristics were optimized for their habitat.
The Deadwood Monkey exemplified this concept. It was dressed to function most optimally in forests. It wasn't a rare monster, and he had seen several of them nearby.
The fox basically pointed to a single answer.
– Snowfield…… It is worth being concerned about it.
A monster that should be at a different stage was in this environment through some special circumstances.
What kind of stage goes well with the white fur? A white environment goes well with it.
"Yes. I'm pretty sure a snowfield will appear soon."
There wasn't some incredible meaning behind those words. It was a snowfield. It was a sight one could see easily in real life.
However, up until now, no serious amount of monsters had appeared in a snowfield or a desert field. Tobo Soft hadn't officially explained why, but most Users had an idea on the reason behind it.
– You'll be working hard.
"If it's just working hard, I'll count it as a blessing."
The level of difficulty would be unprecedented.
Let's say there was a person that could run a 100 meters in 9 seconds. If this person ran on a snowfield or a sand pit, how much time would be added to the overall time? It was the same concept for the battles. Unless one is able to fight from midair, the snow or sand would sharply increase the difficulty of a battle.
Of course, the high difficulty wasn't a problem in itself. This would actually increase the fun one would have on this new content. However, if the initial barrier was too high from the beginning, the Users wouldn't even dare to attempt it. This was a problem since the difficulty of Warlord was already high.
Such a content would arrive some day in the future.
Moreover, there was a high probability that they had already reached that point in time.
This was why Natal had said one would feel anticipation and worry at the same time. A new stage had appeared, and only the ones that could adapt the fastest would survive.
– Then that means you are going to have to work hard.
The First Head was already aware of this truth, so he was brief with his words. He swallowed the words he had been about to say. He had been about to tell Natal about the immense difficulty being faced by the team climbing the Urugal mountain range. Natal already had a lot to worry about, so he didn't want to put extra burdens on him.
After the call ended, Natal once again looked at the corpses of the monsters. Then he scrolled down his Title list, and he looked at the 'Noble Walk' Title.
'The starting point is the same for everyone. However, I've already left the starting line earlier than anyone else.'
He wasn't checking it to see if he still had it. He was looking at it to assure himself.
'There is no reason why we'll come out behind.'
They had started out before everyone else, so there was no way they could get overtaken. This was the message behind his self-assurance.
'I have nothing to worry about. I have nothing to worry….'
Natal used this self-assurance to calm his restless heart.
"Javelin throw!"
These were three meter long spears being raised from between the trees. There were 10 in total, and the bearers of these spears were in a formation. They were spread apart forming a parabola. At the opening of the parabola, there were goblins wearing bone armors. It was the Bone Armor Goblins.
Rough sounds were emitted when bone impacted on bone.
Ggee-eek, ggee-eek!
Afterward, the Bone Armor Goblins let out a cry of anger.
The Bone Spears hadn't caused much damage. The Bone Armors was made using the bones from other dead goblins. The Bone Armors boasted a high defense.
However, these were made from their treasured fellow goblins, so it was important to them. They didn't want their Bone Armors to get damaged. It was a special characteristic of the Bone Armor Goblins. Their attack power went up as the Bone Armors deteriorated.
Hyrkan was very well-acquainted with this fact. In the past, he had studied all the videos released by the Stormhunters. The memory on how to defeat the Bone Armor Goblins were still present inside his mind.
'After you rile these bastards up, they'll go crazy if they see a sandbag.'
At that moment, an enormous turtle charged towards the Bone Armor Goblins at a decent pace. The group of 25 Bone Armor Goblins were so incensed that they had a tunnel vision. They had set their hearts on the Turtle Golem, so they charged towards it.
The result of their actions was revealed immediately.
The weapon in the Bone Armor Goblin's hand were made by sharpening the leg bones of their dead comrades. The Bone Knives were stabbed into the Turtle's shell as if it was slicing into a rotten daikon. In a flash, the Turtle Golem resembled a hedgehog. However, the Bone Armor Goblins weren't satisfied with stabbing it only once. They stuck to the Turtle's Shell, and they started swinging their Bone Knives as if they had gone mad.
At such a devastating sight, Hyrkan didn't show any signs of loss. Instead, he yelled out with a little bit of an excitement in his voice.
The Turtle Golem immediately turned into stone.
In the process of Hardening, several Bone Knives of the Bone Armor Goblins became stuck in the Turtle Golem's body.
The ones with their Bone Knife stuck let out a keening cry as they tried to dislodge it.
Ggee-eek! Ggeek!
Even the ones that didn't have their Bone Knives stuck were letting out the cry, and they continued to swing their Bone Knives at the Turtle Golem.
Kwah-jeek, kwah-jeek.
One could hear the Bone Knives chipping away at the stone.
'They are in a frenzy.'
Every one of them were interested only in the sandbag that had turned into stone. This was when Hyrkan, his Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Warriors moved in.
Hyrkan and his Skeleton subordinates showed them the cost of being distracted.
Shweek, kwah-jeeek, poohk…..
The weapons started causing wounds, and it sounded like a symphony played by an orchestra.
The outcome had already been decided.
All the Bone Armor Goblins received a critical strike. When they tried to change their targets, Hyrkan and his Skeleton underlings ramped up their attacks. He had gained an advantage, so he kept pushing to increase this advantage.
The sound of weapons clashing with each other were heard. However, at some point, the weapons started to impact on living beings. It changed into sounds of flesh parting, and bones breaking.
It took him about 10 minutes to take down 25 Bone Armor Goblins.
[Your level has increased.]
After he ended the short battle, the Level Up Announcement was heard.
'My level up pace is good.'
This was the 183rd such announcement he had heard.
With the sound of the Announcement as background, Hyrkan smiled as he looked at the corpses of the Bone Armored Goblins.
'My condition is better.'
He had crossed the Terube castle wall and the nameless lake. He was immediately confronted with monsters over level 180.
Whether it was a large or small monsters that appeared in the past, there had been some common characteristics amongst all of them. However, new monsters were starting to appear with more frequency now. The previous strategies wouldn't work with them, and new strategies would have to be developed.
However, Hyrkan didn't need to worry about that. Hyrkan didn't need an adjustment time period.
Moreover, at that moment, Hyrkan was feeling something he had never felt before when playing a game.
'This feels exhilarating!'
After the Immoral Prince episode had ended, Hyrkan hadn't participated in a full-scale battle. He only took down monsters he met as he moved from location to location.
This was the first earnest battle he had participated in a while. When he crossed the nameless lake, he had to use his combat powers at full effort.
Hyrkan was surprised at his own combat efficacy in this battle.
'I never believed this day would come for me.'
Hyrkan had never thought he was weak. He was a monster if compared to the regular Users. However, every time Hyrkan went into battle he always had to worry about the risk of a Game Over. He always had to weigh the risk of a Game Over to any actions he took. He unconsciously avoided tasks that was risky enough to cause his death.
'I have no confidence as to whether I can actually die now.'
Currently, he couldn't come up with a risk that would drive him towards a Game Over.
He had the Earth Golem and Fire Golem. Then there was the 2 Skeleton Knights, and almost 40 Skeleton subordinates that could be summoned!
He had the Magic Power Stat to maintain this ridiculous army, and he could just use expensive consumables to supplement any deficiencies!
Lastly, he was equipped with the Chronicle Epic Items that he would have never dreamed of owning before! He just had to look at his own Specs!
These factors minimized the risk he felt in the front line. The word 'Risk' had always been present in his mind, but now he could erase it from his mind.
These were battles without any risk of death. Of course, he would be in a good condition in such battles.
This was like an addicting drug for him.
'I can step on the accelerator, yet there is no way I'll crash. I don't have to drive safely anymore.'
Hyrkan unhesitatingly put a magic recovery Item, which was worth 150 golds, into his mouth.
He ate it in one bite instead of economizing it.
He didn't need to be thrifty. At this moment, he just wanted to continue this feeling he was having. That was the only thing in his mind.
After he finished his recovery of his magical energy, Hyrkan let out a yell.
"Follow me!"
Hyrkan was the first unaccounted variable for the Hydra guild, who was still far ahead.
Thirty people.
At a glance, one could tell they were equipped with expensive Items, and one could see a Smiling icon somewhere on their body, which identified them.
Big Smiles guild.
They were treated as the weakest in the 30 great guilds, but on the other hand, they still possessed the most guild members. They were still heads above the normal guilds, and they were beings that were high above in the sky for the normal Users.
The guild members affiliated to such a guild had appeared in front of the Terube castle wall.
Thirty Big Smiles guild members were gathered in front of the high castle wall, but none of them were intimidated by the sight.
They had seen this castle wall countless times before. Moreover, there was the hidden rookie, Cho-oohroong, who had conducted countless battles across the castle wall.
Including himself, Cho-oohroong was leading a group of 30.
"We've received the Exploration Quest from Captain Bagel. We are allowed to go past the castle wall now."
Apollo nodded his head at Cho-oohroong's words."
"Get ready everyone."
At Apollo's words, the 28 Users tilted their bodies to look at a certain User for a signal. The User receiving all their gazes nodded his head lightly. It seemed Apollo was oblivious to all of this. He continued to speak.
"As I've said before, if you lack in skills and you lag behind, we will leave you behind. I want you guys to harden your heart. This is the biggest prey we've hunted up to this point. It's the Hydra guild."
There was a bloody smile on Apollo's lips. By the look of him, it seemed he would have taken down Hyrdra guild if he could do it on his own. Everyone sneered at his attitude.
Apollo's words made everyone mock him, and it wasn't a strange reaction.
'Our guild is in a bad state. Some weird bastard became an officer, and now we have to listen to his commands.'
'What a pig. I best he has a lot of money. How much did he spend to buy that officer's seat?'
However, their mocking smiles disappeared every time they looked at a certain User.
'Yes. He can only put our trust in him.'
This User's identity….
'We just have to believe in Sinclair-nim.'
'We just have to set up the stage. Then Sinclair-nim will take down the Second Head.'
