Press statement of KDNG Kachin State Natural Resources Development Policy Discussion Paper
17 June 2015
Kachin State Natuaral Resources Development Policy discussion paper of KDNG is based on our
experiences and findings of our community research over the last ten years, documenting the impacts
of mega development projects on peoples across Kachin State. We did this research together with local
communities, research on unsystematically natural resources exploitation and experiences and solution
from other countries where there has been conflict over natural resources.
Date: 11 February 2015
On 2 July 2014, the International Board of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) admitted Myanmar as
We recognise and welcome the progress that Myanmar has already made in the management of its valuable natural resources.
The government's engagement in EITI is an important demonstration of its commitment to transparent resource management
for the sustainable benefit of the people. As Myanmar starts to prepare its first EITI report, we applaud the strides already made
on such critical issues as beneficial ownership and contract disclosure. However, Myanmar's EITI reporting will have little impact
if there is limited space for stakeholders to analyze and debate natural resource governance, or if there are obstacles to monitoring
the implementation of agreed commitments. The national EITI multi-stakeholder group provides a precedent-setting forum for civil
society to meet and raise concerns directly with representatives of the government and the private sector and, as such, has the scope
to create real accountability. Action is needed to ensure that the opportunity for effective reform is not undermined by the limitations
on civil society expression and operation displayed in the Letpadaung case.
23rd May 2014
Kachin civil society strongly believe that the voices of our communities, IDPs, and civil society must be included in the peace talk process in order to have genuine political change in Burma.
Therefore, 17 Kachin CSOs gathered during 20-22 May 2014 to discuss the latest conflict situation in Kachin areas, and the impacts on local communities. We are very concerned at the recent military build-up and escalation of fighting by Burmese government troops, and attacks and abuses against civilians, which have displaced a further 4,000 IDPs in southern Kachin State and northern Shan State since early April.
These Burma Army operations appear aimed to clear out ethnic resistance forces from strategic transport and economic zones along the Burma-China border, and secure control over these areas, even while nationwide ceasefire negotiations are continuing.
We Kachin civil society organizations want to get justice for our communities and want to include our desires in the current peace process, in order to gain genuine peace in Burma. We therefore make the following recommendations:
Press release by people forcibly relocated for the Myitsone Dam
26 March, 2014
Mungchying Rawt Jat (MRJ)
On March 12, 2014, local people in Aung Myin Tha relocation camp, who had been moved to make way for the Myitsone Dam, carried out a referendum asking people to choose between whether they "Liked" or "Did Not Like" the Myitsone Dam. The aim was to show the real wishes of the affected people.

Claim The Free Space
His work has been collected by the Guggenheim, the Tate Gallery, the MOMA and pretty much every other major institution worldwide, and yet we get a chance to see the work of Boston University professor John Walker in the Carillon Gallery of Tarrant County College South (5301 Campus Drive, Fort Worth). (Don't overthink it, just consider yourself lucky.) We'll get a combination of scale in this exhibition, titled simply New Paintings, where larger, more traditional-sized pieces will accompany selections from Walker's Bingo Card series, in which he paints intimately detailed, bafflingly passionate landscapes on the surface of reclaimed gambling stationery. In those, you might notice the original grids peeking through, teasing out elements of time and making winky plays on space. Regardless of what lies deep below, even at his work's most immediate surface you'll find an enchanting, almost historical beauty. Join John Walker at the opening of New Paintings, which runs from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday. Visit tccd.edu. It's free to attend.

Words cannot explain just how impressively beautiful this really is... I sat here for almost five minutes with my mouth agape - in full view - wondering just how a human beeing can produce such an image. This is STUNNING!!!!!! You, my new friend, will make some SERIOUS money, and should be doing so now! Get the money needed to get your print account ----- NOW!!!!!!! This is FANFUGGENTASTIC!!!!!! Definitely a
you are extreamly good i love your work its beautiful makes me think i'm on another planet
Thanks for the comments
Sorry to say but i really don't like the landscape at all...There is so much you can do with terragen and I just think that this is very boring and unoriginal with lots of pointy spires and what not. I love your other stuff though.
the tg in this piece is what does it for me. the mix of landforms in the terrain, a very clear canyonisation, something rarely depicted in space scenes, along with the more mystical stalactites (i think that the pointing up one!). i think some strengthening of the rays and a lil more adjusting of the atmosphere/sun angle could make the terragen even better, although it is a very high quality already. the surface map can't really be seen under the lighting, but don't take that as a complaint. there is a clear variation between slope levels, and that just adds to the realism.
i would love it is the planets were texturised, maybe not too much, but at least to be able to see soemthing except a reflection from the atmosphere. overall a good work.

I really like the lighting on this piece. Great job. Great color.
Huang, actually it is, cause if you look at the moon/mars from earth you can see star infront, star are gas in space, so there are some infront of planets in some ways Thanks for hte omments guys.
Great render, the lighting is very well done. I get the impression of a peaceful Mars-like terrain. My only beef is that there are some stars that are visible through the planets, which isn't possible. But that's a small detail.
Wow!! As said, I love the mood and powerful feel of this piece!! The colors and the terrain help convey that...the planets are great...I might put a little more texture in the two large ones, but they look great as they are...nice work.
Well, I was going for simple and If I changed the colours it would have really messed the land up, I tried adding more orange and the picture got ruined, lol. Thanks anyway tho for the comment.
I do like the spiky and canyonous terrain but i do feel that thhere could be a litttle more colour varitaion..
THanks dude.
That looks amazing...like perfect amazing. The lighting, the details, and the colors are all perfect. I wish I could be standing there
Oh well, it's still very nice to look at. Great job!
Oh well, it's still very nice to look at. Great job!

Hello All,
I am new to this group. I have a 3 year old daughter. Back in 2011 we decided to try for another child. I was breastfeeding still (once a day). We tried for about 3-4 months and no luck. I thought maybe because I was breastfeeding it didnt happen. So we decided to wait and due to financial reasons we waited.
Now jump 2 years later.....and here we are trying again. My periods have always been every 30-31 days. Nothing out of the oridinary. Earlier this year I noticed I would bleed a few days before my expected period (bleed for only 1 day) then nothing the next 2-3 days and then it would come. That was happening for about 4-5 months. It was annoying. I went in for my OBGYN annual appt and told my doc about it. She went ahead and ran some tests. Everything came back normal. They did a thyroid test, prolactin and something else. Nothing stood out to them. That was in May. We just started trying in Sept. The first month I was so sure I was pregnant. I spotted around IB time. I even felt sick here and there. Then AF came and I was upset of course. So in Oct we tried again. When my period was expected to come it didn't. I waited 2 days after my period was supposed to be here. I took 2 different tests. Both were postive with a faint line. I was excited but still not totally excited.... a few days later I started bleeding heavy. Apparently I had a chemical pregnancy. I was devasted :( So we decided to stay positive and try again. Well...2 weeks after the chemical pregnancy, after having intercouse I started to bleed. Blood/Clots. No cramps or other menstrual symtoms. It lasted for about 4 days. What on earth was that??? It happened around the the time I should have been ovulating. Anyone ever experience that? Or any thoughts? I called my doc office but they cant fit me in until January. The nurse said maybe I ovulated early. UGh! I'm so frustrated.
Thanks for reading and any comments/insight :)

Illinois chief praises Torrington cops in arrest of daughter's abductor
TORRINGTON -- The police chief of the Gurnee, Ill. police department said Thursday that city police were key to the arrest of a man who abducted his daughter from a KinderCare in Gurnee and brought her to Torrington without permission from her mother.
Chief Kevin M. Woodside said the abduction occurred on Sept. 17, and police used a "ping" from the cellphone of Matthew R. Totten to determine he was near 115 Oak Ave. in Torrington. City police were notified, located Totten and arrested him on Sept. 19.
"It was great working with them," Woodside said of Torrington Police. "They were very efficient at taking him into custody." After Totten was arrested, his daughter, Kaylee, was taken to the hospital for evaluation and then her mother flew to Connecticut to retrieve her. Totten was charged with parental child abduction and is awaiting extradition proceedings in Connecticut, Woodside said.

In the first nationally televised vice presidential debate, Senators Mondale and Dole debate domestic and foreign policy issues. In this debate each candidate had 2 minutes and 15 seconds to answer and rebut and 1 minute to respond. Most notably perhaps, Senator Mondale labeled Senator Dole as a "hatchet man" after Dole called all the 20th century U.S. Democrat wars because Democrats were president when the U.S. got involved. close

first i love the packaging. it was tiny and cute :)
it was light not messy at all.
the shade is actually sheer n shimmery, but it was buildable despite of the fact that if u put more on ur skin, the shade doesnt improved much. only the shimmer does.
but it really gives me a fresh n glowy natural look.
the scent was nice.
beside all the shimmer and the scent and the compact it doesnt break me out. it always a plus :)

This product doesn't work that well for me. I really need to PACK on color if I want anything to show up. It's a really beautiful color- pink with gold veining. When I swatch it with my finger, it's REALLY pigmented, but when I try to do the same with my blush brush or the brush that comes with the blush, it just doesn't work. I really need to sweep the blush over and over with my brush until the color gets picked up. The color doesn't show up that well on my skin either. My skin is a bit tanned but not exactly that...dark? Anyways, I'm still giving it a 3 because I like how the shimmer on the blush just really gives a nice sheen to my face (but don't get TOO much shimmer on there!!) So yup! I think for people with paler skin, this would be a REALLY great product; It just didn't work for me :D
EDIT: I started using this blush again after my other blush hit pan. I can't believe that I didn't like this blush before because now, I absolutely love it! Now that it's transitioning into fall and winter, my skin is getting paler, and this blush gives the most beautiful pink glow to my cheeks. IT'S SO PRETTY and it's going to be my go-to blush from now on!!

This blush is beautiful! I am pale, NC15 pale and it gives me a hint of colour to perk me up! The only thing is, it can be a little shimmery so i put powder over the top. It's long lasting and for the price it's amazing
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure

This is my fav blush but first off I have pale NC15 toned skin and this colour is not for those over NC/NW20. This is my everyday blush that suites the 'not made up but fresh' look I like to go for. Its a light pink colour that can be built up for more pigment but never gives off that clown effect no matter how much is applied. It has a slight shimmer to it, but not super glittery. The price of around 9euro is good compared to some brands out there.
One downfall is the packaging. My blush has started to fall out of the round pot. I can put it back in again but have to watch out in case its falls and breaks.
Best blush I have found and will definatly buy again :]

HOLY!! $11.5 USD (approx) for a 2.5g Bourjois blush!? They better be pigmented! but they're not, sadly. Why not save some money for other drugstore items or double your savings to buy a HE blush? What range does Bourjois want to position their products in?? If it's trying to be low-end drugstore items, why the hell it's so expensive? and so little product?
The Lune D'or is a major disappointment, it doesn't show up on my NW25 skin, very glittery, might be similar to Cargo Blu-ray blush in pink, but without the pigmentation, or color. Only the glitter. This might be a good highlighter though.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure

For some reason, I've never really liked bourjois blushes, and the Lune D'or was a huge dissapointment.
I was never able to pick up the appropriate amount of blush, it doesn't show up at all on my NC30 skin, and if i try to pick up more color, it turns me into a discoball.

i got it as a dupe od nars orgasm but i have to say "o" is irreplacable.. so try to decribe without comparing to it.. so, first of all the packaging is chunky round pot-classical bourjois design.. it is always the same colour that the product inside-that is a very individual idea.. you open it and it looks like a chanel blush... (-mothercompany so no wonder- at this point i was a bit scraed as chanel blushes never worked for me as the pigmentation and the staying power was poor.. ) the colour is almost a dupe, but when i started to apply it i realized that it is a no go for me.. not bad if you want something really really sheer... but at the same time i have to say that in the rate category i t is outstanding:)n but i can see the hype about it:)

Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

I adore this blush. I decided to get it after seeing in on a friend of mine and read the rave reviews at make up alley. It gives the prettiest, most delicate glow on my face. It's peachy pink with very fine gold shimmer. It has more pink in it than orgasm. I prefer this to Nars orgasm, which used to be my fave. I don't look like I'm wearing blush with this, just look as if I've just exercised or gone to the beach. Nice price too (compared with orgasm).
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I have had this product for over a year now but I've barely touched it. I find it hard to pick up the colour on any brush, and the colour is way too sheer for a medium skin tone like mine - I barely noticed any colour at all. I would say it's more of a lovely sheer shimmer and works best layered over a matte blush, rather than used as a blusher on its own.
Cute packaging and great to just throw into your bag but I'd choose a different colour next time.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
This used to be my favourite blush before i switched to high end. It's got the most beautiful shade of golden rose and gives you pretty delicate glow. What i really hate is the flimsy packaging, the useless tiny built-in mirror and the scratchy brush. Also, the formula is a bit too dry so it can be hard to pick up and apply. One more good thing about this product is its durability. I'm convinced that if it were not for the packaging, it would last forever. That's a shortcoming in some people's opinion, though :)

She pinned Kim when she could have kicked or punched. She was falling for the annoying brat. "Shego!" She winced at the interruption. "What, Dr. D.?" She hollered.

A Few Days After Defeating the Door Lord...Someone knocked loudly at the door and Marceline startled out of bed, flew quickly over to the front door, and peered out, hoping for an impromptu jam sesh with Finn and Jake. It was daylight, she had keeping odd hours lately, roughly midday to midnight awake, the other half of the day asleep."Oh, glob." She whispered, seeing Princess Bubblegum on the porch. "What do you want?" She asked through the door."Marceline, you know we need to talk about this.""Tch." She'd been hoping to avoid this talk for a while. She unlocked the door and floated into the kitchen, arms crossed. Bonnie opened the door and entered hesitantly, perching anxiously on the sofa. Marceline quickly finger-combed her hair and returned with a small bowl of strawberries, sucking the red out of a few and dropping them back in the bowl, still edible despite the lack of colour. Bonnie grabbed a red one and ate it, much to Marceline's annoyance. "You know the grey ones taste the same." She huffed, floating an inc

What's Basketball?They were chilling on Marceline's porch, staying out of the sun's rays so the vampire could relax, and they were spared the worst of the summer heat (Bubblegum was kind of susceptible to caramelizing).

Marceline walked out with home-made iced strawberry lemonade, floating for a moment to close the door with her feet. She was wearing her grey tank top and cut-offs with sneakers."Hey, Marcy, what's that?" Finn asked, pointing."Huh? It's a basketball hoop." She replied, handing drinks out. Finn, Jake, and PB all looked at each other for clarification, shrugging. "It's a game, from before the Great Mushroom War. I've got a ball inside if you want to play.""Before the war?"

Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
Tdap vaccine waned rapidly and provided only limited, short-term protection against pertussis when administered to adolescents as a booster for DTaP, according to recent research in Pediatrics.
"This study investigated the effectiveness of Tdap against pertussis in a highly vaccinated population during two successive epidemics," Nicola P. Klein, MD, PhD, of the Northern California Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center, and colleagues wrote. "We demonstrate that among a cohort of teenagers who have exclusively received acellular pertussis vaccines, Tdap provides moderate protection 1 year after vaccination and then protection wanes rapidly."

Cigarette Tax Hikes Curb Smoking in Pregnancy: Study
HealthDay Reporter
Latest Pregnancy News
TUESDAY, June 5 (HealthDay News) -- When taxes on cigarettes go up, smoking among pregnant Americans goes down, new research reveals.
Exploring the potential impact of state tobacco control policies on pregnant smokers, the study suggests that bumping cigarette prices by a dollar a pack can translate into a notable increase in the quit rate among pregnant women and new mothers.
"Basically, the thing we find most important is that these cigarette taxes can be used effectively to decrease smoking among pregnant women and women who just gave birth," noted study co-author Sara Markowitz, an associate professor in the department of economics at Emory University in Atlanta.
"And it's not at all surprising, because people respond to prices," she added. "When things are expensive, they buy less of them, and when they're cheap, they buy more."
Markowitz's team, alongside colleagues from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, discuss their findings in the early online publication of the July issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
The authors point out that nearly one-quarter of all pregnant women in the United States are smokers, with more than half refusing to quit during their pregnancy.
Not smoking improves the health of mother and child in the short and long term, the study authors said. According to the American Lung Association, smoking while pregnant leads to an estimated 20 percent to 30 percent of low-birth weight babies, up to 14 percent of preterm deliveries, and about 10 percent of all infant deaths.
To gauge how state public policy may affect smoking habits among pregnant women, the authors pored through data concerning nearly 225,500 American women who gave birth between 2000 and 2005.
The woman, who were spread across 29 states and New York City, were tracked during pregnancy and through four months post-delivery.
The results: A dollar increase in cigarette taxes/prices appeared to prompt a nearly 5 percent increase in the probability that a pregnant women would kick the habit by her final trimester (up from about 44 percent to nearly 49 percent).
Similarly, a buck bump in pack cost gave rise to a 4 percent-plus bump in the probability that a new mother would continue to forgo a smoke four months after giving birth (up from about 21 percent to nearly 26 percent).
On another policy front, the research team further found that states that implemented complete bans on smoking in private workplaces also bumped up the probability that a pregnant woman would quit smoking by between 4 percent and 5 percent.
"Now, of course, we recognize that a tax imposes costs on all smokers," said Markowitz. "But if reducing smoking is your desired goal, than raising taxes is an effective way -- probably the most effective way -- to achieve that goal."
Stanton Glantz, professor of medicine in the cardiology division at the University of California, San Francisco, Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, concurred.
"I haven't seen other studies that specifically looked at pregnant women and smoking before," he noted. "But this work is very well done by a very well-regarded group of people, and I'm not surprised with their finding, which just shows that pregnant women behave like everybody else. Which is to say that increasing the cigarette tax does lead people to quit smoking."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Old's Cool' started by kbasa, Jan 20, 2012.
Yep. This seems to be working great. We really appreciate the pointers we get.
Adventures? God's bottom! Of course I've had adventures, I used to seek them out - before realising that putting salt and pepper on a curry was to miss the point. Now I find that adventure is inevitable, inescapable, and I simply try and survive it.
It's merely a matter of scale. Where once I needed to be risking life and limb in the most obvious manner possible, I now find that with vertebrae like a stack of broken biscuits, a walk down the garden to the compost heap involves the risk of only making it to the bottom of the garden, to join the mouldering weeds and rotting apples of last Autumn in a heaming screap.
That's adventure for you. That's bloody adventure.
I've spent much of 2014 on my back, gazing at the foulness of a Yorkshire winter through the skylight above my bed, and thinking I wasn't missing much, but I've been up on my hind legs for a few weeks now. I'm doing the exercises, I can walk for nearly an hour, and the swallows are back in my valley. So - what next.
Outside the kitchen door my '78 BMW R100 RS sits, it's clock ticking off yet another year, during which I've been out on it two or three times, and though I love it with a passion more than common, or because of it, I know it's getting bored with me.
Horizons are a funny thing, I'm learning that. It's not something you learn from books. I visit an old guy in a care home, who travels from his room to a lounge down a short corridor, and then back. He used to be Chief Engineer on an oil tanker so vast that the crew used bicycles to get around. The world was his to roam as Texaco directed, now his walking frame enables voyages measured in yards. And it's the lucky ones that get old, I've known many good ones that won't. There's a lesson for me here, and in order to learn it, I went to Ebay.
Abandoning dreams of riding the RS to Andalucia, I've come down a few cc's, and a few miles, and plan on exploring the smaller roads around the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District and Morecambe Bay on a Yamaha XT 350. The trailer I built for my last journey to Andalucia will accompany me to Hampshire in a couple of days time, carrying back my new purchase, and just like the old days, another for spares. I'll likely need some help with an unfamiliar machine, and hope to find it here.
I'll let you know how I get on.
I'll look forward to your additions if this introduction is an indication of your sensibilities.
All the best to you in your recovery and future travels.
Sounds like the beginning of a book. Love your style!
Welcome to the forum, and looking forward to future posts.
Can someone kindly tell what the heck is an airhead (and don't say a blonde in a mini skirt, lol)

An Airhead is an aircooled engine Ipfm1990.
What's an iPhone?
And thanks for the welcome Lornce and Wirespokes - nice to be here.
Sunbeem! Where ya been? Glad to hear you are still with us.
People, Sunbeem is a treat and an enhancement to life wherever he goes.
Hello there Mel, how very delightful to hear from you again, (and thanks for the appreciative comment - I'm hoping my red face will pass as sunburn).
BB also asked about my recent activities, and like the man who couldn't remember why he'd joined the Foreign Legion, rescuing memories from the past becomes increasingly difficult as time passes. Fortunately memory is strangely selective, and only those events which can be twisted to resound to my credit emerge from the mist.
I had a lovely jaunt to Spain, with my blacksmithing gear in a specially built trailer, and what an education it was.Spain is in an unimaginable mess, worse by far now than in 2010, and if Catalonia separates from the rest, it may float, but the rest will probably sink - maybe reverting to the Peseta and leaving the EU.
I did some house repairs and made a set of mule panniers - beyond that, zilch. Accommodation was problematic, and prospects of employment truly grim. Men with real metalwork skills were "happy" to get any kind of menial work, only to find themselves undercut by the next guy trying to break into the game. Although one good client can keep me going for a year, the top end of the architectural ironwork market was not stirring at all. I came back before getting permanently stuck, and hung up my hammer.
Since then, I've been working with a charity that sends tools to small collectives in Africa. The trailer stood in the car park of a local Quaker Meeting House, and I collected tools and sewing machines in the surrounding district, taking it to our depot in the Lake District when full.
There's a piece of brown cotton cloth tucked into the RS's fairing, it was wrapped around a set of wood chisels, given by an old guy who explained that it was once his father's shirt, issued by the local mine, in which his dad used to dig coal. Just one of many memorable incidents - my spine is too unreliable for such work at present, but I wouldn't have missed my involvement with tfsr.org for the world.
I've also had an enjoyable excursion into wood-turning, a friend lent me his lathe, and I explored the minimal distinction between producing shavings and shrapnel -- my kitchen is now replete with small objects of uncertain purpose, made from large beautiful hunks of wood. Trees now quiver as I pass by.
So yesterday the trailer made what may be it's final trip with me, before going to the local farmer's auction mart.
Down to Hampshire (near the south coast, around the middle) and a couple of XT 350's were lashed aboard.
Birmingham is hard to avoid on any trip south, and a truck had overturned, spilt it's diesel, and set a large area of motorway ablaze. As a result, a 600 mile round trip took me 16 hours in my "new" '06 Honda Accord, the performance of which simply astounds me after my trusty but slow old Citroen Berlingo. I can even ask the sat-nav the age old question "Are we nearly there yet," and the lady under the dashboard never tires of telling me.
Much of the rest of my time has been spent trying to get my head around the implications inherent in quantum physics, and exploring the many similarities with ancient philosophies. Fritjof Capra started that for me in the Eighties, and my view of the world is now sufficiently unrecognisable to most of my contemporaries to mark me out as completely bonkers.
So I'm in interesting company there!
So - time to take a look at my new arrivals, and see what I've got myself into ....
All the best to you and Big Bamboo -- what's happening in your respective neck of the woods?
Where in Yorkshire are you?

"You did what!?" The purple unicorn fumed, staring at Rainbow Dash angrily. Dash recoiled slightly, never seeing Twilight Sparkle this angry before.
"Well, I mean Trixie is back, and you're the only one in Ponyville strong enough to duel her with magic, and I..." She trailed off. Twilight let out an exasperated sigh.
"You can't just speak for me! I don't want to fight Trixie!"
"Twi, last time you showed Trixie up by a mile and a half! I'd bet you could do it again!"
"That was six months ago! She's probably gotten much stronger since then!"
"Well, so have you, silly!" Pinkie rose out of a bowl of apples sitting on a nearby table
Twilight's anger subsided slightly as she pondered how long Pinkie had been there. Pinkie just stood beside her, munching an apple. "C'mon, Twilight, it'll be fun!" She said, mouth full.
"Yeah Twi, we've got till sunset to prepare!" Dash chimed
Her brow furrowed, knowing that she really had no way out. If she declined, it would seem as if she was backing out. If there was one thing to never do, it was back out of a challenge set up by someone like Trixie. And it probably would be fun. From Dash's explaination, Trixie just wanted to test her new magic. She sighed.
"Fine. But I'm still mad at you" She trotted outside. "At least there'll only be a few people there"
"Don't know why I thought that" The stands were filled with ponies, cheering for Twilight. "How'd you even get these stands out to the outskirts of Ponyville?"
"Big Macintosh helped" Applejack said, motioning toward her brother. "Now don't you worry, Sugarcube, we've all got your back" Her friends sat on the sidelines, hooping and hollering. Even Fluttershy could be heard once in a while, and Angel sat on her head, waving a small flag.
"Still no sign of Tri-" As if on cue, the blue unicorn appeared in a brilliant puff of smoke.
"The great and powerful Trixie!" Snips and Snails yelled in unison
"The one and only! Now, Twilight Sparkle, are you ready for the duel? The rematch of the century?" Trixie reared up.
Twilight sighed. "Ready as I'll ever be" She said as she lowered herself to the ground. Spike, Snips, and Snails All stood between the two.
Spike turned to the crowd. "Fillies and Gentlecolts! Welcome to the magic duel between our own Twilight Sparkle and-"
"The great and powerful Trixie!" Snips shouted. Spike shot him a glance. "Thank you, Snips" He said through gritted teeth. "Let's just have a good clean match. And now, without further adu, let the duel begin!" They all ran to the sidelines opposite the bleachers.
Trixie fired a blue beam at Twilight, who stepped out of the way swiftly. She responded in kind, hitting Trixie with a blast that made her stumble. Twilight charged at Trixie, her horn glowing with her next spell. Trixie regained her footing and smirked, firing a purple light. It hit Twilight, and she teleported away, running into a tree.
"Teleportation spells? Two can play at that game"
She shot her own spell, putting Trixie up in a tree. They kept throwing teleportation at each other, disappearing and reappearing all over the field. They finally ended facing each other, almost where they had started. They fired again, the beams collided in midair, growing into a large orb. They pushed all their energy into it, pushing it toward Trixie, then Twilight, then back.
"Twi-light! Twi-light! Twi-light!" Her friends cheered, stepping closer.
Trixie and Twilight pumped all their energy, panting. The Ball grew giant, until finally
A bright light blinded Spike and the ponies for a minute. When they looked back, Trixie and Twilight were gone. Along with the rest of Twilight's friends.
"Twilight?" Spike asked into nothing
"Trixie?" Snails looked around
"They're gone!" Someone in the stands shouted
The crowd gasped and started yelling
"Where... Where'd they go!? And... what if they can't get back..." Spike fell to his knees, Yelling at the sky. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Twilight Woke up, looking around grogily as she took in her surroundings. all her friends were scattered to and fro. They were in a mostly white room, With a few benches, a large cabinet, and some cubbies holding strange equipment that she didn't recognize. There was a large metal door in one direction, and a small room opposite it she could see through it's glass doors. In the small room Dash was against a wall. Everypony else was in the main room, Applejack on top of the cabinet, Fluttershy and Angel under one of the benches, Rarity against one of the walls, and Trixie in the middle of the floor. She searched for Pinkie, then became aware of something heavy on her back. With a quick glance, she found her pink friend had somehow landed on her.
'Wait...' she thought, now a little more conscious. She didn't know what this place was. It didn't look like any place she'd ever been before, and nopony was around. 'How'd... the spell!' She yelled at herself. 'Stupid! You never cross teleportation spells!'
She shifted, and pinkie slid off her back and landed on the floor with a thud. Even with the fall, she was still out cold.
'Always was a heavy sleeper' Twilight started walking around, waking her friends up one by one. Applejack Nealy fell off the cabinet, but got down safely. Everypony looked around, slightly scared and confused. Except Pinky, she handled the situation with her usual energy.
"Anypony seen Dash?" Pinkie asked
Twilight pointed to the room, and Pinkie trotted toward the door. She didn't realize that it only opened from the inside until she smacked into it. "How are we supposed to wake Dash up if we can't get in?"
"Ah, let'r sleep. she'll wake up eventually" AppleJack looked around. "Anypony know where we are?"
"Well, wherever it is it's positivly filthy! just look at all this grime on the floor!" Rarity lifted a hoof in disgust. Applejack rolled her eyes.
"Um... Girls?" Fluttershy mumbled, unheard
Trixie spoke over Fluttershy "Well, maybe-"
"No! You have no right to talk! You're the reason we're here at all!"
"What kind of foal counters teleportation with teleportation! You're lucky we didn't end up in the walls! Didn't they teach you that wherever it is you learned magic!?"
"I wouldn't have had to if you hadn't-" She was cut off by a gruff throat being cleared.
A rather short man wearing overalls and a hard hat looked at the ponies with a shotgun in his hands, finger on the trigger.
Fluttershy mumbled "I tried to warn you"
Chapter 1: The Duel
I've sunk as low as writing fanfiction, I hear you cry. yes. enjoy it.

I don't know anything about what just happened, but I might as well read it to find out...
...This is also giving me an idea for TF2... :3

I am enjoying!
The concept is... interesting. You've piqued my curiosity, though your writing technique could use a bit of improvement.
In any case, I'll certainly be continuing to read. So far, it deserves at least that.

Wow, this story is... GOOD!
this is....
Amazing... Pleae, do write more, I'm liking the story so far.
Amazing... Pleae, do write more, I'm liking the story so far.
Well, for just starting out in fanfic you've got some funny lines in here, and it's a clever execution all the way around. Also, your prose is easy to read which is really my number one requirement for a story. It's not like we don't understand big words, but when people put together 20-syllable sentences with 4 words it is just sort of selfish of the author because he's stroking his own ego at the expense of his readers. Your text is clean and efficient, and your pacing is spry and dynamic. Good job!
... I am confused... i want to make my own fic but what software should i use? microsoft word or google docs? I HAVE NO FLIPPING IDEA!!!!!!!!
And then you can use IBook Author to make epubs.
May I make you a suggestion?
Pages. Use Pages.
I used Microsoft word, but really any word processing software will work as long as it has a Spellchecker. I would be lost without my spellchecker
Ok... Thank you sir and i hope you have fun making your fics!!!
and btw: you ever wonder what would happen if Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell went to equestria? just curious.

I don't know that much about splinter cell, so I couldn't really say. It'd certainly be interesting, I can say that much
Wait, the submition page is saying that i have to put in a preview picture... do i have to?
I'm really sorry for asking all of these questions. it's just that I'm new to this sort of thing and i want to do my best...

I laughed when spike said "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
But, he should had said "FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~"
But, he should had said "FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~"
Bwhaahahah, Awesome!
well, there goes my afternoon
how did trixie get from being so lame to being as powerful as twilight?
Hey I'm working on my on fanfiction when I came across this and it inspired me so I started a story that stats of just like yours but will change later. I just wanted to give you a heads up. By the names booklover41
there are some grammar errors, but overall its pretty good so far
Pretty soon the engineer is gonna ask how to make cupcakes.
Then Pinkie says...
Then Pinkie says...
I laughed way harder than I should have at this.
Guess I'l have to base them on the loadouts I have and the mods I've downloaded. Guile Soldier, here I come.
epic battle dude
I'm sorry, but I suspect the people who say you got the personalities right didn't even read the chapter.
Because as soon as I started reading it, I noticed that you gave Twilight a choleric personality. And if there is one character who is NOT like that, it's Twilight. And the rest of the chapter didn't really improve, so... yeah.

I don't agree at all. You say she's choleric, but That's out of annoyance, She's not being angered easily. You wouldn't be annoyed if someone signed you up for something you really didn't want to do?
Oh sweet Celestia, this is going to be awesome. xD
*hurrys to read the rest*
*hurrys to read the rest*
There's nothing wrong with writing fanfiction. There is, however, much complaint to be had about plot convenience and OOC behavior.
As for plot convenience, well, I don't care. Yes Twilight miscasting a spell is a bit overused, but it gets them where I need to get them.
I do, however, disagree on OOC behavior. I believe the characters are well within their character, but feel free to explain why you think a character is not acting as they normally would in such a situation.

Shanghai Soho Bund Youth HostelShanghai, China
Definitely NOT recommended!!!! Dirty room without window and they advertise themselves with a view from the room to the Pearl Tower. The staff didn't speak English, they couldn't give any useful information. And the internet was on and off literally in every second. Only the location can be accepted.
Sanlitun Youth HostelBeijing, China
Lovely and very helpful staff, nice atmosphere. Kitchen is a little bit slow. I would definitely recommend it!
Sam Sen SamBangkok, Thailand
Central location but next time I wouldn't stay there.
Arnies BackpackersBelfast, Northern Ireland
Don't expect a big breakfast. I didnt't really like the hostel.
Abrahams HostelDublin, Ireland
I don't really recommend this hostel. Staff is nice and friendly but sometimes I got weird answers. I could not use my laptop, the password of the wifi didn't work so had to go to Internet cafe. Breakfast was too poor, specially after 4 days terrible! Rooms are ok, cleanliness is ok. If you have a chance to go to another hostel, choose the other one!

I can't seem to get any mouse clicks in a QTreeWidget. I have tried...
- ...overriding mousePressEvent, but it never runs at all. Not even to log a message.
- ...using an event filer. It works for everything but mouse clicks.
- ...using delegates. Their editor events work fine, but only when over an item, which isn't enough
- ...making sure everything is being added to layouts. I used QTCreator and the output is using layout.addWidget(). I am also adding the widget instance to a layout in the main window.
I was able to use the answer to register the widget as an event filter for the QTreeWidget like so:
# In __init___
# self.tree is the QTreeWidget
def eventFilter(self, target, event):
This widget is an event filter for the tree, so this function is triggered
# Print on right-click
if (event.type() == QEvent.MouseButtonPress and
event.button() == Qt.RightButton):
print("Right Click")
# Don't block/accept the event
return False

The Living City
Believe it or not, it all started with the L.A. River. Not the cement land-gash that is todays monstrosity, but the real, natural Río de Los Angeles (then known as the Río Porciúncula). In 1777, the Spanish Governor of California, Felipe de Neve, ordered that a pueblo be established along the river north of the San Gabriel Mission. The primary purpose of the pueblo would be to reaffirm Spains claim over the territory, but it would also assist in supplying and feeding the Spanish military forces in the region. Believing that the river location was ideal for irrigation as well as a potential transportation source, the Governor instructed Don Fernando Rivera y Moncada to recruit colonists to settle the new pueblo. On September 14, 1781, El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles (The Town of the Queen of the Angels) was officially established, with 44 men, women and children from 12 families calling it home.
Were a little bigger now. Over the past 224 years those 44 people have grown into more than 3.9 million, making Los Angeles the second-largest city in the country. We have paved 7,633 miles of streets over 469 square miles of land. We are home to the worlds largest man-made port and the nations third-largest shopping mall. We are the largest point of entry for immigrants to the United States and home to the largest populations of Armenians, Cambodians, Filipinos, Guatemalans, Koreans, Thais, Mexicans, and Salvadorans outside of their respective countries. We are Los Angeles - the entertainment capital of the world, and a Mecca for those seeking fame and fortune.
But who are we really?
We are more than our movies and music. We are more than traffic jams and boob jobs. We are more than sunglasses and cell phones, earthquakes and race riots. We are more than the Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Sparks, Galaxy, Kings and Avengers combined. We are not stars, symbols, statistics or stereotypes. We are the living, breathing men and women who work, play and dream right next door. You know us. Weve met. We are you. We are Los Angeles. Welcome to the neighborhood.
Every Angeleno is an L.A. story. Theres the 20-year-old kid who just flew in from Nebraska with a big smile and bigger dreams. Thats the 70-year-old barber whos been cutting hair in the same shop on the same corner since 1961. Hes the failed drummer who made a fortune trading albums on eBay. Shes the principal at the high school where she was once suspended for smoking pot. These are your neighbors - and you are theirs.
In the following pages, we will introduce you to Los Angeles from the inside: a living-room view of some people and communities that are changing the definition of the Los Angeles home. In addition, we offer some essential guides to L.A. living, with information and resources for every Angeleno. So sit back, relax and meet your neighbors. Come inside as they give you a glimpse of who they are and how they live.
This is Los Angeles. This is The Living City.

Hi everyone,
My name is Denise and I just started WW online on Wednesday. I would like to lose about 50 lbs.
When I am grocery shopping, what should I be looking for as far as nutrition labels? I know you need the calories, fat, and fiber to figure the points, but what should I look for in those areas? Low calories? Low fat? Etc. Any tips would be appreciated!

Davis school board trustee Alan Fernandes — appointed in May to fill an unexpired term of trustee Nancy Peterson, who resigned in March — will keep his seat on the school board for two more years.
Fernandes was the only candidate to file by Friday's deadline for the remaining two years of the unexpired term. Since he is unopposed, his name will not appear on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Two-term Davis school board incumbents Sheila Allen, Gina Daleiden and Tim Taylor — each of whom has served nine years — did not file for re-election. So the candidacy filing period for those three seats, which come with four-year terms, was automatically extended until 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Thus far, five people — Barbara Archer, Madhavi Sunder, Robert Poppenga, Chuck Rairdan and Tom Adams — have turned in candidacy papers with the Yolo County Elections Department. Others could join this pool between now and Wednesday.
And it appears that there will be one candidate for each of the four seats at stake on the Yolo County Board of Education.
* Incumbent Bill Owens, who represents portions of Davis, was the only candidate to file for Trustee Area 2.
Owens works as a mediator/facilitator, adviser and attorney; he had offices in Sacramento for nearly 20 years, and moved his office to Davis in June. Owens served on the Explorit Science Center board of trustees for 16 years, including six years as president.
He was elected to the Yolo County Board of Education (running unopposed) in 2010; he is serving as board president this year. Owens and his wife and two daughters have lived in Davis since 1990.
* Incumbent Xavier Gamez, who represents West Sacramento (Trustee Area 1), is seeking a second term. Gamez works in the admissions department at the Elk Grove branch of DeVry University, an academic institution that has over 80 branch offices around the country.
He is working on a master's degree with an emphasis in educational leadership, through DeVry. He has a daughter who attends elementary school in West Sacramento.
Another candidate, Matt Taylor, filed candidacy papers on Friday for the West Sacramento seat. But Taylor indicated to The Enterprise in an email Friday evening that he had decided not to run after all. However, the Yolo County Elections Department reported Monday that it is too late to take Taylor's name off the ballot.
* Longtime Woodland resident Meg Stallard is a candidate in Trustee Area 3. Stallard, who has served on the Woodland school board, she comes from a family that is prominent in Woodland's political, cultural and business affairs. (Her husband Tom is currently serving as Woodland's mayor; he also served for eight years on the Yolo County Board of Supervisors.)
Woodland resident Blair Howard, who teaches at King High School in Davis, filed candidacy papers in July for Trustee Area 3, but later withdrew.
* Longtime Woodland resident Carol Souza Cole is running in Trustee Area 5. A professional grant writer. she served two terms on the Woodland school board, including time as school board president.
Stepping down is longtime incumbent Nancy Lea of Woodland.
"After much thought, I have decided not to seek re-election for Trustee Area 5," Lea said. "I was first elected in 1993 so, at the commencement of the December 2014 YCBE meeting, at the point my replacement is sworn in, I will have served 21 years.
"I have focused my board efforts on the students who are within the Yolo County Office system and the teachers who serve them. I have also been vigilant to protect the interests of the taxpayers who fund all public services. They are entitled to a board that is mindful of its public trust when it comes to spending public funds."
One of those spending issues is the setting of the salary for newly elected Yolo County Superintendent Jesse Ortiz. Lea raised the issue at July's board meeting and a 45-minute discussion ensued. Further discussion is likely at the August and September meetings.
"I am concerned that the incoming Yolo County superintendent may attempt to undermine the fiscal issues of concern to me," she said. "Over the years the present superintendent's compensation has been inflated by the board's awareness of his increasing professional experience and, more importantly, what I believe is a misguided tendency to equate the position of county superintendent with that of district superintendents.
"The two positions have almost nothing in common: A district superintendent serves at the pleasure of its board and has vastly greater responsibilities. It is for the latter reason that almost no county superintendent would be considered for the post of district superintendent."
Lea said that, under California law, the County Board of Education's one opportunity to reset superintendent compensation is before he or she first takes office; in Ortiz's case, in January.

My eyeliner ALWAYS runs. It doesn't matter what kind or what brand, I always get dark make up circles under my lash line. However, this stuff helps prevent that! (Not 100% but I'll take any help I can get). It also decreases the appearances of my crows feet so my makeup doesn't get stuck in the creases. (Yaaaay for being almost 30.... Lol) I don't use it all over my face. Just under my eyes. I will be buying this.5
It really did work well after having to look up how to use it and what it was.. The packaging was poorly done and zero instructions with it! Once I figured it out it worked great!! I am a sweater and the humidity and heat in Oklahoma it's hard to find products that set your makeup and are sweat proof!5
This was one of the first samples I ever got from Birchbox, and was also my first full size purchase from the website.
The packaging isn't much to look at (Sorry Grand Central). But the product is amazing. It's texture is right in between a serum and moisturizer, and honestly for me that is exactly what it does.
My under-eyes have never looked brighter than when I use this. And the primer allows your make-up to go over it smoothly and stay in place all day.
This product is part of my morning and evening routine!
This product is fantastic. It makes my skin looks amazing and I noticed a difference after just a couple of uses. Only takes a little bit to get full face coverage and really does even out skin tone. I have very fair skin so am prone to blotchiness and that is essentially eliminated with this product. Must have!5
I love primers and I love serums. They are the best inventions in cosmetics in a long time. However, I don't think they work well together in this product. My makeup stayed on but it almost felt like my face was imploding on itself at the end of the day. As if it worked so well to keep things going that it tightened its grip to not only my makeup but my skin, as well. It also made the skin around my hairline look a bit clammy, as if I were coming down with a fever. Everyone else gives it such high praise so maybe I just received a bad batch or didn't use it properly but I feel that there are less expensive brands that work better.3
