This 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider S4 is a low-mileage car in superb condition, and is presented in a terrific colour combination. Equipped with the more powerful 2.0-litre twin-cam engine that loves to rev out, it is paired with a five-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The car has driven just 52,741 km (32,771 miles) from new, and is currently covered by an advisory-free MOT until April 2020.
The S4 version of the Spider was a significant improvement on its predecessor, both in aesthetic as well as structural terms. Pininfarina's revisions produced a svelte roadster with smooth lines, and with higher-quality steel and enhanced protection from the elements, the S4 was a more handsome, usable and reliable car.
Delivered new in July 1991 via Alfa Romeo in Nuremberg, Germany, this Spider averaged around 3,500 miles per year in its first seven years on the road. In January 1999, the car was imported to the UK and had an MOT at 43,781 km. Later that year, it was acquired by the current owner, who has driven it less than 10,000 km (6,200 miles) in the last 20 years.
The Verde Inglese (English Green) paintwork is original and is in superb overall condition. It has a deep and even finish all around the car, with only a few minor stone chips at the front, and one or two imperfections elsewhere. The body retains the original Pininfarina badges on the flanks, and model badging at the rear. All of the brightwork is in great shape, as are the light lenses, with Bosch items at the front and Carello lamps at the rear.
The 12-hole, 15-inch alloy wheels that were fitted to the 2.0-litre Spider are in superb condition, with only one minor kerbing scuff to the nearside rear wheel. The mohair hood is still pristine, with just a small dent in the rear window noted by the vendor. The mechanism itself is wonderfully simple, taking a matter of seconds to put up the hood in the event of an unexpected rain shower. It also comes with the original tonneau cover that matches the interior.
In the cabin, the original tan leather upholstery is in excellent condition, and features the Alcantara centre panels on the seats. There are no rips or worn-through leather, and the seat bolsters exhibit only the smallest amount of wear. It retains the original steering wheel and gear knob, and the original carpets are still in very good order. All of the switchgear works as it should, though the vendor notes that the radio head unit and electric aerial are currently inoperative.
All of the door shuts and jambs are in great shape, with detailed photos in the media gallery showing their rust-free condition. The sills and the boot floor are also solid, and there are no signs of corrosion in the bonnet or boot gutters. All of the gaskets and seals around the doors and windows are also sound.
The engine bay is in very good order and the car is reported to be in great mechanical condition. There is early stamped service history with the car, and by the late 1990s the car had tipped over the 40,000 km mark. In June 1998 it was fitted with a new exhaust at 43,000 km, which is believed to be the last item of work completed in Germany. Its next full service was at 46,939 km at Middle Barton Garage in Oxfordshire, which included oil and air filters, a fresh set of spark plugs and renewal of the brake fluid.
In November 2013, at 52,172 km, the car was given an extensive service and overhaul by Rodney Garages in London. This included replacement of all of the coil springs, as well as the rear suspension arm bushes. The braking system was also refurbished, replacing all of the calipers and the master cylinder, as well as all brake discs, pads and hoses. Oils in the gearbox and differential were also renewed, along with the brake and clutch fluid. The fuel tank was drained and both fuel pumps plus the sender unit were replaced. Finally, new bulbs were fitted all round.
Within the last two months, Rodney Garages has given the car a fresh service, renewed the differential oil and the seals, and has replaced the centre propshaft mounting and bearing. The brake and clutch fluid has also been renewed. The car is now driving superbly.
The last MOT was in April 2019 at 52,184 km (32,425 miles), which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. A new set of Pirelli Cinturato P1 tyres has recently been fitted, in size 195/60 R15 all round, date-coded to early 2018.
It is accompanied by the original owner's manuals and stamped service booklet, plus numerous invoices covering its time in Germany as well as the most recent work in the UK. The original tool pouch and jacking kit are also still with the car, stored behind the panel in the boot.
This Alfa Romeo Spider S4 is being offered for sale for the first time in 20 years, having been driven very sparingly over the last decade in particular, and offering a terrific opportunity for an enthusiastic next owner. While cosmetically original and superb, plenty of attention has been paid to the mechanicals in recent years to ensure this car drives as well as it looks. It is equally well suited to weekend use on dry days with the top down, or as a reliable modern classic for longer European tours.

Model-Based Design for DO-178C Software Development with MathWorks Tools
Mike Anthony, MathWorks
In part 8 of this webinar series, we discuss the use of Simulink Code Inspector to automate source code reviews. When attempting to satisfy DO-178C using a hand-code approach, one of the most time consuming steps in the process is the manual review of the source code. Simulink Code Inspector automates this code review process in a Model-Based Design workflow.

Commercial AC Preventative Maintenance Agreements Equals Savings
Do you own a business? Chances are your lease requires you to have the commercial air conditioning system maintained and/or repaired. It is equally important to have the air conditioning system maintained even if not required in your lease.
The last thing you want for your customers is to walk into a hot store because your commercial air conditioning system has broken down. In most cases an AC repair in Land O Lakes or surrounding areas can be avoided by having a maintenance visit done on a quarterly preventative maintenance agreement. We repair and maintain all makes and models of commercial air conditioning equipment.
Checklist for Your Commercial AC Preventative Maintenance
When having your system maintained the following should be checked: Voltage being supplied, Amperage of motors, visual inspection of electrical area and remove any debris, check belt and replace if needed, check operation of outdoor air damper, clean indoor coil, clean drain pan, flush drain line, place detergent tablets in drain pan, clean outdoor coil, lubricate motors, check static pressure of air flow, temperature of air entering the air conditioner and leaving, check refrigerant pressures and check temperature of copper pipes.
In addition a dirty filter can wreak havoc on and air conditioning system and its performance. In most cases new filters are included with a commercial ac preventative maintenance. Want To Schedule Your Maintenance Today? Call now for more information you can reach us at 813-929-4295.

Article content
Ex-Mountie Kevin Gregson, already serving a life sentence for murdering an Ottawa police officer, has been found guilty of repeatedly raping a 10-year-old girl.
During the trial, the now-13-year-old girl said Gregson raped her four times on two separate days. The rapes happened days prior to the night of Dec. 29, 2009, when Gregson fatally stabbed Const. Eric Czapnik, 51, outside the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital.
Judge Julianne Parfett handed down the guilty verdict Wednesday morning on four counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm.
She sentenced him to 10 years in prison, although the sentence will run concurrently with the life sentence he's serving for Czapnik's murder.
The young girl filed a victim impact statement, which was read by a police officer who held the girl in her arms.
Faced with her tormentor who sat motionless and impassive in the prisoner's box, she offered him forgiveness.
Forgiveness — if he would only apologize.
"Saying sorry is always hard," her statement said. "But forgiving is harder. Jesus had people who betrayed him, tortured him, defied him, hurt him and in the end — killed him."
"But he always forgave them. Each and everyone of them.
"I am going to take an example from Jesus and forgive Kevin what he has done to me...I will forgive him for all the trauma and hurt...and changes this has done to me.
"This has made me a stronger person, even though it was hard.
"So I will give the chance of forgiveness if you just say sorry, Kevin.
"It doesn't have to be now, and it doesn't have to be directly to me.
"You can even say it just to yourself, Kevin, but remember — I will forgive."
Gregson shrugged when Parfett offered him a chance to speak, mumbled "sure," and stood.
"I didn't kill Eric Czapnik," he said. "I didn't murder him. I dreamed when I was 20 that this is going to happen to me."
That was all he said before he was led out of the courtroom, to begin the first day of the rest of his life as a convicted child-rapist.

As a participant in your work-sponsored retirement savings plan, you've made a very important commitment to yourself and your family: to prepare for your future. Congratulations! Making that commitment is an important first step in your pursuit of a successful retirement. Now it's important to stay focused--and be aware of a few key risks that could derail your progress along the way.
Setting out on a new journey without knowing your destination can be a welcome adventure, but when planning for retirement, it's generally best to know where you're going. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), an independent research organization, workers who have calculated a savings goal tend to be more confident in their retirement prospects than those who have not. Unfortunately, EBRI also found that less than half of workers surveyed had actually crunched the numbers to determine their need (Source: 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey, March 2013).
Your savings goal will depend on a number of factors--your desired lifestyle, preretirement income, health, Social Security benefits, any traditional pension benefits you or your spouse may be entitled to, and others. By examining your personal situation both now and in the future, you can determine how much you may need to accumulate to provide the income you'll need during retirement.
Luckily, you don't have to do it alone. Your employer-sponsored plan likely offers tools to help you set a savings goal. In addition, a financial professional can help you further refine your target, breaking it down to answer the all-important question, "How much should I contribute each pay period?"
Another key to determining how much you may need to save on a regular basis is targeting an appropriate rate of return, or how much your contribution dollars may earn on an ongoing basis. Afraid of losing money, some retirement investors choose only the most conservative investments, hoping to preserve their hard-earned assets. However, investing too conservatively can be risky, too. If your contribution dollars do not earn enough, you may end up with a far different retirement lifestyle than you had originally planned.
On the other hand, retirement investors striving for the highest possible returns might select investments that are too risky for their overall situation. Although it's a generally accepted principle to invest at least some of your money in more aggressive investments to pursue your goals and help protect against inflation, the amount you invest should be based on a number of factors.
The best investments for your retirement savings mix are those that take into consideration your total savings goal, your time horizon (or how much time you have until retirement), and your ability to withstand changes in your account's value. Again, your employer's plan likely offers tools to help you choose wisely. And a financial professional can also provide an objective, third-party view.
Many retirement savings plans permit plan participants to borrow from their own accounts. If you need a sizable amount of cash quickly, this option may sound appealing at first; after all, you're typically borrowing from yourself and paying yourself back, usually with interest. However, consider these points:
For these reasons, it's best to carefully consider all of your options before choosing to borrow from your retirement savings plan.
If you leave your current job or retire, you will need to make a decision about your retirement savings plan money. You may have several options, including leaving the money where it is, rolling it over into another employer-sponsored plan or an individual retirement account, or taking a cash distribution. Although receiving a potential windfall may sound appealing, you may want to think carefully before taking the cash. In addition to the fact that your retirement money will no longer be working for you, you will have to pay taxes on any pretax contributions, vested employer contributions, and earnings on both. And if you're under age 55, you will be subject to a 10% penalty tax as well. When it's all added up, the amount left in your pocket after Uncle Sam claims his share could be a lot less than you expected.
Keep in mind that no investment strategy can guarantee success. All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of your contribution dollars.

If you are in need of building or home improvement supplies (paint, flooring, tile, etc.) try Habitat for Humanity. They have stores located in all states. The items are donated from builders or reclaimed products and all sales go to building new homes. This is a great way to help others and yourself.

We have them here too but i find their products are way over priced. There's no way someone who has a limited income can afford what they need to fix up their homes. Better to go to freecycle and ask for what you need if you don't have a lot of money.
I was tickled pink when they opened a Habitat Restore establishment in my small city. We haven't been able to shop there lately, but we found a top-of-the-line, matched Roper brand washer-dryer set for only $60 each. The only major issue we had to contend with was, the plug on the dryer had four prongs and our outlet only had room for three. Thank God, my hubby is a retired contractor - between him and his helpers, they were able to trade out our old dryer cord for the original! That saved us having to rewire our dryer outlet.

In our area there are a number of outlet stores for Habitat for Humanity. Their stores sell items that they can't use in the homes they build. The prices are great and the money goes to a wonderful cause. Be prepared to do some fixing and adjusting with some of the items. In our area, stores have plumbing fixtures, windows, cupboards, counters, items from stores and businesses which have remodeled, or contractors extra items. The variety is amazing. You can find a store by doing a search for Habitat for Humanity in your area.

Dog Sledding
Ever since the Walt Disney movie 'Eight Below' there has been a new surge of interest in dog sledding. For many years, these loyal canine companions have only truly been appreciated by their owners and drivers, but now their worth as rescue dogs or even sport dogs has become apparent to millions across the globe.
Dog sleds have been used as a form of transportation in areas of heavy snowfall for millennia. They gained particular popularity during Canada's gold-rush days when dog sleds were often the only way to traverse large areas of snow and ice to get to towns and villages. They started to fall out of use with the increase of technologically advanced forms of transportation and before long dog sledding became a dying art form. However, a number of dog lovers and owners saw the need to find a way to keep their beloved companions in business and before long the competitive sport of dog sledding was born.
Making use of a basket sled, dogsled racing typically takes competitors over a certain given area from point A to point B, making use of the driver's navigational skills and the dog's sledding experience to ensure that the team chooses the safest route and arrives at the finish line. Dogsledding still has a massive following – especially in areas with a high annual snowfall. It may not be the most prestigious of sports or snow skiing activities, but it does give owners the opportunity to make the most of their beloved companions and to test their mental and physical skills at the same time.
There are many that would argue that dog sledding is cruel, but the counter-argument is that these dogs are bred to work. They seem passionate about their job and their natural instincts are often honed out on the trail. Dog owners are seldom merciless and will often put the needs of their canine companions above their own needs. Dog sledding is seeing a small revival today as rescue operations, arctic exploration teams and holidaymakers looking to enjoy a new experience often use them.
If you do not have time to learn the age-old art of dog sled driving, why not take a ride in a sled at one of the many winter locations that offer this option? Getting to know the dogs and enjoying the natural environment is often the perfect addition to any dog-lover's snow skiing vacation.

Centralia man holds neighbors against will, makes them do chores, police say
CENTRALIA, Wash. -- He wanted them to know what it felt like to be slaves, the 15-year-old boy told police.
The family hadn't talked to their neighbor much before, Centralia Police Detective John Panco said. That changed Wednesday, when they were allegedly held against their will and ordered to do chores, he said.
It all started about 7 a.m. in the 1300 block of Lum Road.
Panco and court documents gave this account:
A 12-year-old boy walked to his family's truck in front of their house. His mother was going to drive him and his two siblings, a 13-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy, to school.
The neighbor, a 6-foot-2, 250 pound man walked outside and told the boy to "come here." The boy started in that direction but then hesitated. That's when the neighbor snatched him up by his coat and carried him to his house.
The man told the boy to call his father. The boy asked him how he was supposed to do that and argued for a minute. The man elbowed him in the cheek and told the boy to clean the yard and sweep.
Some time later, the boy's brother, sister and mother came to the man's house looking for the missing boy. The man refused to let them leave and ordered them to do chores as well. He made them pick up trash and stack firewood. At one point he told them all to stand at attention and sing the national anthem, Panco said.
After about an hour, the man left the house and walked across the street. That's when the girl called police and the family escaped.
Police arrived and took the man into custody. He was booked on one count of kidnapping and four counts of unlawful imprisonment.
The 15-year-old told police that the man, who is African American, told them they were the reason he had been a slave and now they knew what it was like to be slaves. Court documents identify the family as Latino American.

The cutoff for my course was 95% as it is a program course. Hons courses have much higher cutoffs starting from 97%.
Jesus and Mary college admits children solely on the basis of Merit like most other Delhi University colleges. Most of the batch for Bcom hons compromises of students who have sought 94% and above in their Higher Secondary examination. However JMC needs a student to fill a separate JMC registration form along with the principal DU registration forms. For ECA and Sports categories the selections are held a week before the tentative dates of first cut off list. For various reserved categories the procedure of seeking admission is simple. It involves the student to match the required cut off for their category and the documents thereby.
Jesus and marry college is a very good college and one of the best college of Delhi University. It provides a huge number of courses and the selection process is very good. Apart from that sometimes cutoff gone more to 94%. There is no entrance test to get admission in this college. By your 12th marks you are qualified to get admission.
For my course you have to score a minimum of 90% in maths and 93% in your intermediate board exams. Overall I feel that the college experience and exposure that you get here is of the next level. You get to learn various new things. This college is one of the elite colleges of DU amd the faculty that it has is really nice and supportive.
Admission procedure is quite simple in JMC. I belong to Christian community so, I had a quota. I had to show them various proofs and certificates such as baptism certificate, letter of recommendation, mark sheet of the 10th and 12th grade. And then had to get my roll number from the principal's office.
A 12th pass is the eligibility criteria of our college. Admissions are open to all of them who have completed inter. I have taken entrance (ICET). there is70%cutoffs in my course.
I had scored 90% in my 12th boards but the cut off was 97%, basically, I am a national level judoka and got admission through sports quota. There was no entrance test but sports trials for that at University level.
First, Interested Students have to fill JMC form and select the course, then only they can apply for the particular course. Students have to check cut off from the website and if they match can take admission.
Candidate must have passed the 12th with minimum of 75% marks from a recognized institute to get admission in this college. No separate entrance exam is conducted. Minimum 89% cutoff mark is required.

Malaysia is one of Asia's biggest employers of foreign labour. But recently, cases of deaths, abuse and forced labour have come to light. What is going on? Who is protecting these migrant workers?
PETALING JAYA: The Employment Insurance System (EIS) looks set to be on track for implementation now that stakeholders are "agreeable" to the lowering of the percentage of contribution.
Malaysian Trade Union Congress (MTUC) president Abdul Halim Mansor said during a recent tripartite meeting with the Government and stakeholders, the rate was agreed to be brought down to 0.2% each for employers and employees.
"It was a fruitful engagement carried out in a cordial manner which ended in all parties giving their full support to the EIS.
"We are very happy with this outcome and look forward to the EIS Bill being passed into a law and to take effect from next year," he told The Star.
In recalling the proposal back then, he said the MTUC had proposed a contribution rate of 50 sen but employers were against it.
Then in 2000, the idea was brought up again with a proposed RM1 coming just from workers. That too was shot down by employers.
Abdul Halim said despite handing over a memorandum to the Government, nothing came out of the proposal until 2007.
"That year, the issue of social security was taken seriously and hotly debated in the international scene.
"Then in 2011, the Government took a stand and set aside RM52mil. A tripartite project committee was also formed to study the design of employment insurance system for Malaysia in accordance with the guidelines under the International Labour Organisation," he said.
Abdul Halim recalled that employers were willing to support the initiative under one condition – that the "lay off benefits" for workers be terminated.
He said several more rounds of negotiations were held between 2013 and 2015 on the EIS.
"MTUC proposed a quantum of 0.25% each for employers and employees and the Government agreed to this.
"Around February this year, we met the Prime Minister and relayed to him that the Government allocation (in 2011) had generated a total fund of RM65mil from the investment," he said.
Abdul Halim said on May 1, the good news was announced by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak with the Government preparing the draft of the EIS Bill and another injection of RM70mil.
He said it was a proud moment for MTUC and that they would be handing over a memorandum to the Government "very soon", containing some suggestions to finetune the Bill.
Among others, the MTUC wants the Bill to be in tandem with several existing laws such as the coverage entitlement of EIS until the age of 60.
"We are of the view that the EIS should act more as a protection scheme for laid off workers for up to six months and not so much as compensating them," he said.
Abdul Halim also stressed that MTUC had no objection to the Social Security Organisation (Socso) managing the scheme.
He added that Socso had full access to the workers' registry and over 40 years of experience, citing its success in setting up its own rehabilitation centres for affected workers.
"We hope the funds in the EIS will not be spent unnecessarily but used to help workers who lost their jobs. This is the main aim," he said.
An Opposition lawmaker, Dr Michael Jeyakumar, said he was all for the EIS to be implemented in the country, similar to Vietnam and Thailand.
"I will definitely support the passing of the Bill to be made into a law when the Parliament convenes in October.
"Our stand is consistent that the welfare of workers must be a top priority. The EIS is a good start and the right step towards this cause," said the Socialist Party of Malaysia central committee member.
Saying that the EIS was "long overdue", Dr Jeyakumar urged the Government and Socso to take into account all the pertinent points raised during the coming debate of the EIS Bill by parliamentarians from across the divide.
He said on average, some 50,000 workers were laid off every year but almost one third of them did not get retrenchment benefits.
"Under the Employment Act, retrenched workers should be fairly compensated for losing their jobs and income.
"But because some of these companies are going under, they will get nothing," said the Sungai Siput MP, adding that the EIS could help to alleviate their difficulties in such a dire situation.
Social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye also expressed his support for the Bill to be passed to safeguard the welfare of employees.
Lee said it was "necessary and timely" for the country to implement the EIS to help workers who are laid off.
"But only those who are genuinely retrenched should be given assistance so that they can continue to support their family.
"I believe this is the main objective of the Government in introducing this scheme," he said.
Lee also called upon the Government and stakeholders to discuss the provisions in the Bill thoroughly so that all parties are "agreeable" to avoid any dispute.

"Building a Service-Oriented Culture" at UC Davis--a project to improve the quality and organization of IT customer service--has won a Golden Award from the University of California's annual Larry L. Sautter program.
The award to Information and Educational Technology is one of three top information-technology prizes given by the UC for 2014. The Sautter program recognizes IT innovations that advance teaching, research, public service and patient care, or that improve the effectiveness of university processes.
"Building a Service-Oriented Culture" helps faculty, students and staff find and obtain IT services, said IET Client Services Manager Anita Nichols, who led the project.
"We want to make our services easier, to bundle them without respect to organizational boundaries so that our customer doesn't have to go three different places to get what they need," she said. This means, for example, presenting IT service information in one consistently maintained online catalog, instead of spreading it over a maze of websites.
"I am truly delighted about the Sautter award," said Associate Chancellor Prasant Mohapatra, who was interim CIO and vice provost of IET from July 2013 until mid-August 2014. "I value the effort immensely, and it will not only influence a change in the service culture at UC Davis, but could propagate to our sister campuses. This project also testifies to the collaborative environment we are breeding on our campus."
Excellence as defined by the customer
The goal is to offer excellent IT-related service, with the customer's experience in mind. The results include "effective and fast resolution of incidents and requests; relevant and useful reporting; or [providing] answers through our knowledge base," says the website for the IT Service Management program, one of the project's core elements.
Service organizations use different methods to organize their work--the IT Express Service Desk, for example, has long had a method for tracking service requests. The "Building a Service-Oriented Culture" project took existing procedures for a range of IET services, and improved them by rebuilding, expanding, and redefining their procedures and standards.
"Within a year, the team took the disparate pieces of an unorganized service management offering and put them together in a way that is cohesive, recognizable, customer-focused, and has ultimately started them on the path to improve the way that IT services are delivered at UC Davis," says the project's Sautter award application.
The team's innovation, the summary continues, "is their approach to IT service management. The & customer experience must be considered every step of the way. Consequently, they developed an approach to guide them that focuses 'outside-in' rather than the traditional 'inside-out.' "
Other project components include the IT Service Catalog and IT Knowledge Base.
The project extends beyond IET. The College of Engineering, Offices of the Chancellor and Provost, School of Education and School of Law also participated, and the project's list of key contributors names 29 people. People at other UC campuses have been contacting Nichols about the project, especially after it won the award in early August.
List of Sautter winners
UC Davis also won a silver Sautter award this year, given to Information Technology Services (part of Safety Services) for its "Environmental Health & Safety Enterprise Risk Management Technology." UC has posted the project applications with details on the Sautter Awards website. The Aug. 19 edition of Dateline carried this article about the awards.
The Sautter program is sponsored by the UC Information Technology Leadership Council.

Another Benzo Buddies member goes missing
"HAS ANYONE HEARD FROM PLEASEBEHERE"??? « on: June 03, 2017, 02:02:20 am »
I am wondering if anyone has heard from Please, she has not been on since May 1, this year. Please was having a rough time, but she would come on and ask for help and she read all she could to try to help her situation. For those who knew Please, really knew her, she was a caring person and was trying so hard to get off of the benzo that was making her so very sick. We shared some Pm's and I know others heard from her also. Worried and hope that someone has heard from her and she is doing better, or just needed to get away for a bit.

Low-dose klonopin taper, psychiatric cocktail, hypersensitivity, irregular reactions, etc. « on: August 02, 2016, 06:32:20 pm »
Hi there. My family (historically subject to alcoholism, autism, bipolar disorder, clinical depression, you name it) and I have been trying to properly medicate my depression/mood swings/anxiety since I was just a kid.
After a failed diagnostic trial with Lamictal around age 10, I was put on 25mg Zoloft and 0.25mg Klonopin in middle school: this combination successfully got me through the following 5-6 years. I essentially cold-turkeyed the low dose of Klonopin upon exiting highschool and didn't notice any effects. Switched from Zoloft to Prozac, which aggravated my mood swings and prompted a switch to Viibryd after a couple months. Varying degrees of depression/hypomania/crippling depression throughout. Had an odd reaction to Viibryd, and was put back on 0.25mg of Klonopin twice daily by my long-time psychiatrist to ease the SSRI withdrawal.
Things worsened rapidly, and after two consecutive, incredibly irrational trials on Lithium and then Seroquel (taking Klonopin and hydroxyzine throughout to ease the insanity of my symptoms) made the decision to get off medication completely and take the naturopathic route. This is after years of treating my chemically frustrated brain medically, mind you.
Started my Klonopin taper with 0.25mg in the morning and then 0.125mg at night. Been at this for about two weeks. My supplements are 5-MTHF (I have the homozygous mutation), GABA, vitamins B & D, and omega-3s. Haven't noticed their effects, or lack thereof. My withdrawal symptoms include fatigue, confusion, dizziness, blurred vision, general cognitive impairment, body aches, and most importantly, anxiety & panic attacks. I read a little bit about hitting "tolerance" but am otherwise entirely blindsided by my neural reaction to the tapering. I've found myself literally cowering in fear half the time. I'm positively hungry to be back on an SSRI, because the past month has been something out of a horror film. For someone who is normally very aware/reflective/fluent, the mental fog that I've been subject to feels like paralysis. I am terrified. To make things worse, I'm at a critical nexus in my academic career and am paranoid about sabotaging my progress, capacity, future, etc. because I've only just realized how serious my Klonopin withdrawal is. My mental faculties are INCREDIBLY limited, and for someone who's identified as an scholar since childhood, it's tearing me apart. Rereading this uncoordinated, poorly written post is almost comedic considering my career as a university academic and publishing success.
All of my previous medications have been tiny doses because of my extreme sensitivity. xxx I have very few resources and am in urgent need of advice, information, and support. Currently, I'm supposed to travel overseas in two days and am wondering if it's safe to get back on an SSRI to ease my symptomatic (& figurative) paralysis. Please, please, please help.

Cult maniac identified as person who originally gave out anti-cult fighter's personal info so his family could be harassed
Re: Please remove my membership and blog « Reply #27 on: September 25, 2011 at 05:59:09 PM »
I'm confused. Gail was in on this from the very beginning, as a matter of fact. She and Jon were the instigators of the entire chain of events at BW. She was the one who gave out Mike59's personal information to everyone so they could post it all over BW and other places on the internet. Many players who play innocent but are guilty behind the scenes, as I previously mentioned. Don't forget that she was a moderator for a short time at BE. I had occasion to witness her intense hate for Mike59. There is no question in my mind that she is deeply involved in this current feud.
Another thing that I am confused about is why we would need to bring Ross in on all of this. He has managed to stay out of all of it completely, having most of these people, save Flick, as members of his forum. What would his forum have to do with you encouraging me to ban Mike59? Also, are you saying that you would be willing to ban Donny?
Yes, we are not 100% sure of who is completely involved. Like I said, there are many players and none are innocent.
There is Jon, Gail, Flick, Robyn Hayle, Jim (Befuddled), Jannie Tyme (Whoopsie) and maybe others that I don't know about. Zoe, although she is not a member on BE as far as I can see and I don't know whether she is a member here. If you banned Mike59 as a gesture to the members of BW then you do know that there were others that caused many problems there too.
I'm not sure of your reasoning behind that gesture, to be honest.
TC is a moot point since he is already banned from most all forums. I'm sure he rubbishes everyone he can if he gets mad at them. He has issues. I haven't been to TRAP in years except to make sure my account was secure there a few weeks ago and to ask for his help with a woman in his country who has subsequently passed away last fall.
Again, I am making the gesture/offer. We may never do it perfectly but it is the fairest thing to do. Whether BW or TRAP participates or not, it will send a message that we will no longer stand for what is happening, that we have a common goal and that is to stand up for what is right, and get on with encouraging, supporting and helping others in withdrawal.

Francisco Pizarro, the largest photovoltaic project in Europe
Through its subsidiary in Spain, the Iberdrola group has submitted the Francisco Pizarro project, which, with its 590 MWp installed capacity, will provide clean energy to 375,000 people a year and will become the largest photovoltaic plant in Europe after its start-up in 2021.
Torrecillas de la Tiesa y
Aldeacentenera (Cáceres)
Total installed capacity
590 MWp
Total investment
More than 300 million euros
Start date
Francisco Pizarro
photovoltaic plant
The Iberdrola Group takes another step forward in its investment strategy in renewables with the start of the Francisco Pizarro project. This is a new photovoltaic plant that will have an installed power of 590 MWp and that, once it comes into operation in 2021, will generate enough clean energy to supply 375,000 people a year, an amount greater than the populations of the cities of Cáceres and Badajoz.
These figures make Francisco Pizarro the largest photovoltaic development in Europe and the largest launched by Iberdrola worldwide. It thus surpasses the company's other great emblematic project in Extremadura, the Núñez de Balboa photovoltaic plant, with an installed power of 500 MWp.
The new construction will occupy an area of 1,300 hectares between the municipalities of Torrecillas de la Tiesa and Aldeacentenera and will prevent the emission into the atmosphere of 245,000 tons of CO2 per year. The project, which has been submitted to the Ministry of Ecological Transition, will have an investment of more than 300 million euros and will employ 1,000 people during its construction.
With the Francisco Pizarro project, the company raises to more than 2,000 megawatts of renewable energy currently under construction or processing in Spain, representing 70% of the capacity that the group expects to increase in the country — 3,000 MW — according to its investment plans for 2022.
Iberdrola already has 15,790 MW of renewable power installed in Spain, of which 5,770 MW correspond to wind energy, making it the leading wind power producer in the country. The group plans to launch a total of 10,000 new megawatts by 2030 as part of its clean energy re-launching strategy, which includes an investment of 8 billion euros between 2012 and 2022. This plan will create jobs for 20,000 people, almost 10 times more than those currently dedicated to traditional generation in the company.

WordPress and Drupal are two of the most popular Content Management Systems in the market now. It is a common question how WordPress and Drupal are different from each other, there are a lot of articles about this and you might have done some research about it already. Most of the web developers would have two minds whether to choose WordPress or Drupal.
Well, it depends on your needs. It depends on your web development skills as well.
TL;DR – WordPress is something very easy to pick up for beginners, while Drupal is a bit more complicated.
Why choose WordPress over Drupal
It's easier to learn
As I already mentioned WordPress is very easy to pick up for beginners. The WordPress interface and usability are simple for casual users to pick up quickly. The configuration process and customising your theme according to your needs is easy to do. And that gets your site up running so quickly even for beginners. For Drupal, the interface and usability are complex compared to WordPress. It has got taxonomies, blocks and views and a lot more features that make it complex. It isn't hard to use but hard to learn how to use it. Also, to build your website from scratch takes more time than expected for a beginner.
Theming is very important for every Website. Of course, everyone wants their website to be different and unique. In WordPress there are 11,000 + Themes out there you can try. Also, it is easy to customise the theme according to your needs. You don't need any development skills to customise the look and feel of your website. Whereas there are only 2700 + themes available for Drupal. Also, mostly Drupal needs custom coding to meet your needs. So, you should have more coding skills than a WordPress developer for your website to look unique. If you are not a developer, why to worry about writing a lot of code when there is a simpler option.
There are 55000 + WordPress plugins which reduces the need to write custom code. Whereas Drupal has just 42000+ modules (equivalent to WordPress plugins). Here again, since the number of modules that Drupal offers are less, to customise according to your needs its more likely that you may need to code to create custom modules.
Which one to choose
Probably you are here to choose which one to use. Drupal can handle a large volume of content. It is capable of producing more complex and advanced sites. Drupal wins the battle when it comes to security as well. If your website is complex with a lot of data Drupal is the CMS for you.
If you don't have any knowledge about what a content management system can do, both WordPress and Drupal is hard. It may take days or weeks to get your heads around stuff. You may also need to think a different way of building a website if you are used to building HTML websites.

What is Commercial Bank?
A commercial bank is a kind of financial institution which carries all the operations related to deposit and withdrawal of money for the general public, providing loans for investment, etc. These banks are profit-making institutions and do business only to make a profit.
The two primary characteristics of a commercial bank are lending and borrowing. The bank receives the deposits and gives money to various projects to earn interest (profit). The rate of interest that a bank offers to the depositors are known as the borrowing rate, while the rate at which banks lends the money is called the lending rate.
Related link: Banking and its Type
Function of Commercial Bank:
The functions of commercial banks are classified into two main division.
(a) Primary functions –
- Accepts deposit – The bank takes deposits in the form of saving, current, and fixed deposits. The surplus balances collected from the firm and individuals are lent to the temporary required of commercial transactions.
- Provides Loan and Advances – Another critical function of this bank is to offer loans and advances to the entrepreneurs and businesspeople and collect interest. For every bank, it is the primary source of making profits. In this process, a bank retains a small number of deposits as a reserve and offers (lends) the remaining amount to the borrowers in demand loans, overdraft, cash credit, and short-run loans etc.
- Credit Cash- When a customer is provided with credit or loan, they are not provided with liquid cash. First, a bank account is opened for the customer and then the money is transferred to the account. This process allows a bank to create money.
(b) Secondary functions –
- Discounting bills of exchange – It is a written agreement acknowledging the amount of money to be paid against the goods purchased at a given point of time in future. The amount can also be cleared before the quoted time through a discounting method of a commercial bank.
- Overdraft Facility – It is an advance given to a customer by keeping the current account to overdraw up to the given limit.
- Purchasing and Selling of the Securities – The bank offers you with the facility of selling and buying the securities.
- Locker Facilities – Bank provides lockers facility to the customers to keep their valuable belonging or documents safely. Banks charge a minimum of an annual fee for this service.
- Paying and Gather the Credit – It uses different instruments like a promissory note, cheques, and bill of exchange.
Types of Commercial Bank:
There are three different types of commercial bank.
- Private Bank – It is one type of commercial banks where private individuals and businesses own a majority of the share capital. All private banks are recorded as companies with limited liability. For example, Bank of Baroda, State Bank of India (SBI), Dena Bank, Corporation Bank, and Punjab National Bank.
- Public Bank – It is those type of bank that is nationalized, and the government holds a significant stake. Such as Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) Bank, Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI) Bank, and Vysya Bank etc.
- Foreign Bank – These banks are established in foreign countries and have branches in other countries. For instance, American Express Bank, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), Standard & Chartered Bank, and Citibank etc.

Journal of International Information Management
The industrialization of white collar work via information technology (IT) is a key indicator of the emerging post-industrial economy (Hirschhorn, 1988). A conceptual model linking clerical work environments to effective IT impacts such as IT utilization, IT's perceived ease of use and performance impact was developed and empirically tested. Underlying the model is the premise that clerical job structure is a facilitator of IT impacts (Weber, 1988). The results indicate that clerical job structure factors such as typing, composing or editing, and bookkeeping were significantly related to IT impacts in clerical work settings. A job holder's IT competence and top management commitment to IT were also found to be significantly related to IT impacts in clerical work settings. Antecedent relationships among the IT impacts also contributed to understanding the IT impacts - for example, IT utilization affected perceived ease of use and perceived performance impact, and perceived ease of use affected perceived performance impact.

adidas Originals and Pharrell Williams have collaborated again this time on a Fall 2017 tennis collection.The range features clothing, accessories, and footwear inspired by the personal style of the sport's '70s-era legends. The campaign features models as well as tennis athletes Sascha Zverev and Garbiñe Muguruza.
The collection offers a complete wardrobe of retro-inspired pieces, from polos, cable knits, and track tops for men to skorts and dresses for women. On the court, the must-have polo shirt serves the ultimate in tennis style, featuring engineered details and cool futuristic textures. At the same time, Pharrell and adidas completely rethink another preppy staple: the cable- knit sweater. Here it's updated with engineered cuff and collar tippings and a subtle, tone-on-tone, inlaid logo pattern. (The women's cable-knit vest reveals a cool and flirtatious peekaboo cut-out back.) Seeking the perfect tennis dress? It's arrived in a fully-fashioned engineered knit with two-tone pleats and contrast rib details at waist. – from Adidas

Congrats! A pre-approval is good news. It means you've met the initial criteria for the Petal card, but you'll still need to submit an application to see if you're approved.
Pre-approval and approval are not necessarily the same—there are some instances where you may be pre-approved, but fail to qualify after submitting your application. This may happen, for instance, if there have been major changes to your credit report over the past 30 days. The only way to see for sure if you qualify is by submitting your full application after you've been pre-approved.

The ICSC's website is http://climatescienceinternational.org/
Some quotes from Tom Harris:
- There is a whole new vocabulary that has been created that really distorts the science and injects fear into the equation
- The most obvious one we heard from President Obama – he calls it "carbon pollution"……but carbon dioxide ,which is what they are talking about, is the stuff of life, without Co2 there would be no plants, no life on Earth…..
- "Climate change is real" Well, of course it's real.
- (Al Gore) gives the impression that the CO2 goes up and temperature follows; but it exactly the opposite.
- …..when you close down the most powerful source and the least expensive source and that is coal…. The United States is going to be in a lot of trouble

After Cardi B posed for pics with her nemesis Niki Minaj's ex, Meek Mill, rumor has it that the two are actually also working on a song together! Have they joined forces to slam Nicki by being so friendly and even collabing?
The speculation started with a tweet from Adam Grandmaison (Adam22), who claims Cardi B and Meek Mill have one track they are collabing on, '100 percent!'
Apparently, the social media user has found this out from a very reliable source but Cardi and Meek are yet to confirm or deny the rumors.
Previously, HollywoodLife reported that 'Meek feels horrible about the fight between Nicki and Cardi. He has a lot of love and a lot of respect for both Nicki and Cardi and he'd like to do whatever he can to help squash their feud. Meek was inspired by working on things with Drake and feels like if he and Drake can set aside their differences and work together, then maybe he can help Cardi and Nicki do the same.'
'Meek wants to play peacemaker in this hip-hop war because, since his time in jail, his perspective on everything has changed, he wants to help now.'
But now, seeing how he has been hanging out with Nicki's enemy and might be working with her as well, it does not sound like their bad blood will end anytime soon.
He and the Bodak Yellow rapper were in attendance at the Billboard Hip-Hop Power Players event yesterday and they posed for the cameras together, making headlines.
Do you think Meek and Cardi are really collabing? How would Nicki Minaj react to it?

The last quarter of 2018 was the year dev.to was most influential in my career. More so great because I was doing my last year in varsity. I was inspired to start a project and actually finish it while following advice for projects to show off on my portfolio.
From Vue.js to a Jekyll generated 'noscript' site
I entered a year with a portfolio that had some fun animations powered by Vue.js, but as part of my resolutions this year, I wanted to start blogging. I took down my site, recreated it now with Jekyll and its default theme. No javascript whatsoever.
From default minima theme to more custom design
Ok, I think it is great that Jekyll provides minima as their entry theme, not too heavy and not too complicated to customize. I changed the home page to something I felt represented me the most. At some point, my portfolio site was opened on one job interview that I was in on a projector
Now this!
I created a new branch just for the redesign. I deleted everything on my repo and started with a new index.html file and worked my way up from there. And being unemployed 🤣, I've been in front of my laptop for more than 10 hours updating my site, and now writing this post minutes after pushing the changes.
View my incomplete portfolio here and tell me what you think. Of course, it's not complete yet, I need to add a section for my projects and a link to my resume. I also have to redesign pages for my blog posts. I would use any Jekyll theme but I feel that takes away my personality from the site.
What makes this even more fun is that I'm doing this while learning vim. People really need to check this article out, for beginners like me who were lowkey scared of taking that leap because of the "Exiting vim" jokes, exiting vim is actually wayyy easier than I thought 😳

I almost forgot to mention the logo!
I made it with gimp. using material colors of course. Do you guys know about this material color picker? I use it all the time! Even with my portfolio design and graphics. I then exported my logo as a big
.bmp file to trace with Inkscape for a smaller SVG.
I use Forestry.io to build my site automatically when I push to origin. I initially used it as my CMS but I needed more flexibility.
I use jekyll-manager as my GUI for creating and editing posts. The rest I edit in vscode.
Badges on the bottom of the page, I got from simpleicons.org. They have EVERYTHING! OK maybe they don't but I didn't check.

Pineapple on your pizza? You monster!!!! (kudos on the site tho)
The thing is delicious! 🤣 I don't know how cheese merges with that sweetness but it's like bombs of flavor exploding in your mount
I was going to comment the exact opposite thing! I find pineapple great on pizza!
YESSSSSS! you sir know the great things in life. By the way the person who introduced me to it hates it. Sure bought it so that we try it out. She had only one slice and kept on removing pineapple pieces that she finds on it during the whole time. I ended up enjoying all of it 😌
That perfectly correlates to Vue.js (no offense Vue fans, this is all jokes lol)
I should check this!😁 I need someone with lots of followers to run me a poll on twitter
- Vue.js devs that like Pineapple on pizza
- Vue.js that don't
- Not a Vue.js dev but likes pineapple on pizza anyways
This will produce interesting results
I think you'll need to ask the folks at @thejsdev
I would recommend Jekyll+ as a lightweight CMS: github.com/Wiredcraft/jekyllplus
Ow, I still use Jekyll! I just designed everything from scratch. I still haven't finished the posts' designs though 🙆
Wiredcraft looks pretty neat too. I'll give it a shot on my next project docs
I didn't even know that thing existed, it would be something I need. Thank you man.
Good work, I must've redone mine 10 times as my skills improved. Nobody ever looks at it though more of a personal pride thing I suppose.
I occasionally view my portfolio everytime I run into my link, then try to imagine what would be the first thing that comes to a visitors mind. Plus also the skills do grow over time.

Fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Jose "Scarface" Aldo, 31, has earned his ninth win in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Recently, he defeated Jeremy "Lil' Heathen" Stephens, 32, of Des Moines, Iowa, United States.
Aldo and Stephens competed in the featherweight division at "UFC on Fox 30," which took place at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on July 28, 2018. It was the 12th among the 13 bouts of the evening.
Referee Yves Lavigne put a stop to the featherweight bout between Aldo and Stephens at 4:19 of Round 1. The Brazilian fighter knocked out his American opponent via punches.
By defeating Stephens at "UFC on Fox 30," Aldo improved his professional mixed martial arts record to 27 wins and 4 losses. This is a redemptive win for the Brazilian contender who was coming out of two consecutive losses to Max "Blessed" Holloway, 26, of Waianae, Hawaii, USA, who is the reigning UFC Featherweight Champion.
As the first UFC Featherweight Champion, Aldo reigned from November 10, 2010 to July 11, 2015. The Rio de Janeiro native lost the title to Conor "The Notorious" McGregor, 30, of Dublin, Ireland at "UFC 189."
On July 9, 2016, Aldo became the UFC Interim Featherweight Champion by defeating Frankie "The Answer" Edgar, 36, of Toms River, New Jersey, USA in a rematch at "UFC 200." On November 26, 2016, McGregor was stripped of his title so Also was promoted to the undisputed UFC Featherweight Champion.
On December 10, 2016, Holloway became the new UFC Interim Featherweight Champion by defeating Anthony "Showtime" Pettis, 31, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA at "UFC 2016." On June 3, 2017, the Hawaiian fighter became the undisputed champion after knocking out Aldo via punches in the title unification bout at "UFC 212."
On December 2, 2017, Aldo competed against Holloway again. The Hawaiian champ successfully defended his title by knocking out his Brazilian challenger again via punches at "UFC 218."
Aside from Edgar and Stephens, the other UFC fighters who lost to Aldo were Mark "The Machine" Hominick, 36, of London, Ontario, Canada, Kenny "Ken Flo" Florian, 42, of Westwood, Massachusetts, USA, Chad "Money" Mendes, 33, of Hanford, California, USA, "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung, 31, of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang, South Korea and Ricardo "The Bully" Lamas, 36, of Chicago, Illinois, USA. Like Edgar, Mendes lost to Aldo twice.
Losing to Aldo at "UFC on Fox 30" downgraded Stephens' professional MMA record to 28 wins and 15 losses. Here is Aldo right after earning his ninth UFC win:

According to the Science Daily, potential applications range from surgery and rehabilitation to search and rescue in natural disasters or on the battlefield. Because the robot body changes shape in response to its surroundings, it can slip through narrow crevices to search for survivors in the rubble left by an earthquake or bombing, said Cunjiang Yu, Bill D. Cook Assistant Professor of mechanical engineering.
These soft robots, made of soft artificial muscle and ultrathin deformable sensors and actuators, have significant advantages over the traditional rigid robots used for automation and other physical tasks.
The researchers said their work, published in the journal Advanced Materials, took its inspiration from nature. "Many creatures, such as inchworms that have completely soft compliant bodies without any rigid components (e.g., bones), exhibit unprecedented abilities in adapting their shapes and morphologies and unique locomotion behaviors," they wrote.
The prototype adaptive soft robot includes a liquid crystal elastomer, doped with carbon black nanoparticles to enhance thermal conductivity, as the artificial muscle, combined with ultrathin mesh shaped stretchable thermal actuators and silicon-based light sensors. The thermal actuators provide heat to activate the robot.
The prototype is small -- 28.6 millimeters in length, or just over one inch -- but Yu said it could easily be scaled up. That's the next step, along with experimenting with various types of sensors. While the prototype uses heat-sensitive sensors, it could employ smart materials activated by light or other cues, he said.

Posted by Miguel on 23rd Oct 2017
Good starter kit, has most of the essentials you need to start brewing. Everything was well packaged, only my airlock was cracked at the top (which does not affect the process in any way) but my guess is the mishandling of the shipping company.
Posted by Elsie on 8th Dec 2016
The starter kit performs ok and is good value for the dollar. However the fermentor pail did not have a gasket and would not seal. However it is quite simple to buy one. I would recommend buying a auto siphon and bottle filler also
[Beer Grains] Thanks for your feedback Elsie! If the bucket is used for primary fermentation a gasket isn't required. CO2 is heavier than O2 and will push out O2 during active fermentation and keep contaminants out as well. Cheers!
Nice kit
Posted by Sebastien on 12th Jan 2016
That's a great kit to begins. I was a little bit dissapointed when I saw that my primary fermenter wasn't graduated, but overall that's really not a show stopper. Would recommand without hassle!

Howdy, monsters!
Here we are. Down to the backwash of Beta.
I hope the cards have been good to you. I hope you've nailed all those daily quests, and maybe even picked up a gold foil legendary or two. Remember, it's not too late. There are still over 100,000 Beta packs left to be sold.
Melee Mayhem
I have loved melee attacks since the very beginning of Steem Monsters. Right away I saw that Daria Dragonscale would be a valued summoner. That's why I bought hundreds of them when they were merely 20-25 cents each. Here's a post I wrote in February called Is Daria Dragonscale the Best Investment of 2019?
What can I say? She's a reward card, so she doesn't get enough credit. Combine that with the fact that she doesn't help you toward daily quests, and I see an incredibly undervalued card. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Daria found a value near $2 in the next few months.
What's the Best Secret to Melee Mayhem?
Thorns. Plain and simple.
Seriously. Put thorns in the front and thorns in the back, and you're off to a good start. With this ruleset, you will see a lot of melee attacks, which will include standard tank attacks and sneaks. Your back thorns will neutralize the sneaker, most likely killing it before it kills you.
What's the Second Best Secret?
Never Underestimate a Good Heal
If you are able to put a powerful healing attacker in front, like the Sacred Unicorn, a protected tank-healer buried in your ranks will usually keep your tank alive. In Melee Mayhem, healing a tank that already heals itself is a nearly unbeatable strategy. If you throw in the Armorsmith, the Unicorn will take hit after hit without losing health.
What About Double Inspire?
Inspire is my favorite buff to double up. When I use Daria, I almost always throw in a card with Inspire, such as the Pirate Captain or the Silvershield Knight. With a double-inspired team, I simply have to pack the house with sneakers, healers and thornies for an easy win.
Make the Most of Trample
Trample, when used correctly, can take down an entire opponent's team while barely touching your back row. When I see trample effectively employed, it is generally used twice in a single battle by the same card. I have a trick for this.
Trample in second position, behind a weaker-than-average tank. Your tank will simply prepare their tank to be taken down by your trample monster. If you can make sure that the first time your trampler attacks, they destroy, then they will almost always kill the next card as well. This will catch your opponent entirely by surprise and leave them with an undefended range attack on the front line.
Protect Yourself
Cards with Protect are extremely useful in Melee Mayhem. I know it's tempting to pack in the attack monsters, but a single low-mana protector will let you survive 5 or 6 more attacks. So throw in the Crustacean King or the Defender of Truth, and thank me later.
I hope these tips helped to prepare you for Melee Mayhem!
This is not financial advice, but it is monster advice...
Take a look at your deck. Decide which cards you play with , which cards you can benefit from, and which cards will bring you a good return. There are a lot of things to consider. That's why I love this game so much. It's strategy on a level I've never faced before.
Make some moves in the market. Sell some cards that you don't play with so you can enhance your position on the ones you do. Generate as many Dark Energy Crystals as you can, and for Helio's sake, use them to buy more Beta packs before it's too late!
