Writing off your credit card debt?
Over recent years a number of businesses have sprung up offering to help consumers become 'debt free' by challenging lenders' credit card agreements and getting the debts written off. So confident are some of these companies of success that they will refund the fees you pay them (less a small administration charge) if your claim does not succeed. These new businesses, known as 'claims management companies', seem to be flourishing.
So how easy is it to get a credit card debt written off?
The relevant law is to be found in the Consumer Credit Acts 1974 and 2006 and associated regulations. On the face of it this legislation looks very promising.
Section 78 of the 1974 Act provides that a lender "shall give the debtor a copy of the executed agreement (if any) and of any other document referred to in it" on a request by the debtor (the customer) and the payment of a £1 fee. In the event that the lender fails to do this "he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement".
Sections 127 and 140B of the Act provide power for the court to "reduce or discharge any sum payable by the debtor" and "require the creditor, or any associate or former associate of his, to repay (in whole or in part) any sum paid by the debtor".
So that's the law. Where the lender cannot produce a copy of the original signed agreement the debt is written off and anything paid by the customer has to be refunded, right?
Not so fast!
This analysis has slid across the wording of the sections and made some leaps from one section to another which, in truth, the courts may be disinclined to make.
Recent cases have looked more carefully at the Acts and regulations and show them in a rather less positive light for the customer.
Section 78 is now understood to be a section designed to ensure that the customer can readily obtain information about his agreement with the lender. Note that carefully - INFORMATION ABOUT HIS AGREEMENT. The section, it has been held, does NOT require the lender to produce a signed copy of the original agreement. The requirements of the section are satisfied if the lender can produce sufficient information ABOUT the agreement by way of a note of the customer's name and address and a copy of the standard terms of such agreements which the lender was using at the time the customer's agreement was made. In most cases lenders will not have too much difficulty in doing that.
What is more, failure to satisfy section 78 makes the agreement unenforceable - but only while that failure continues. As soon as the lender is able to find and produce the required information any implications of his earlier failure evaporate.
And there's more. Although an agreement may be unenforceable that is not the same as writing off the debt. It only means that the lender cannot (for the time being) enforce the debt through the court, or get a charge on the customer's property or make him bankrupt. The debt however remains very much alive. The lender can still press the customer for payment, can add interest, can employ debt collectors and can notify credit reference agencies of any non-payment by the customer (without informing those agencies that the debt is currently unenforceable).
The court's powers under sections 127 and 140B to reduce or write off a debt are NOT automatically triggered by a failure to comply with section 78. On the contrary section 127 applies where there has been an 'improperly executed agreement' and section 140B applies where a credit agreement is "unfair to the debtor".
The mere absence of information about the credit agreement does not itself show that the agreement has been improperly executed or is unfair. So a section 78 failure does not, of itself, lead on to any reduction in the debt or repayment arising for the customer. In fact, it does not even begin to get the customer there. A recent case taken by a customer on the basis of a failure to comply with section 78 was described by the judge as "hopeless" - and he promptly awarded costs of the action against the customer and in favour of the credit card company.
It is now clear that a customer who claims that a credit agreement has been 'improperly executed' or is 'unfair' has to produce evidence to support that claim, for example by showing that the original agreement failed to include all the prescribed information concerning the interest to be applied to the account or the repayment terms, or that the terms of the agreement were unreasonably onerous.
So it now seems likely that only a small proportion of customers will achieve 'success' in terms of having debts written off or obtaining refunds of payments made to lenders.
Where does that leave the claims management companies with their money back guarantees to customers? I will look at them in a further article.

Tagging Up Turf
this wiki
- "We gotta go hit up the hood. Let 'em know you're back on the set. The Johnson Brothers are rolling again."
- ―Sweet Johnson.
Tagging Up Turf is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by his brother and Grove Street Families leader Sweet from his house in Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos, San Andreas.
Sweet and Big Smoke are playing basketball as Carl arrives. After the game, Sweet questions Carl's statement that he's back on the set for good. To prove this, Sweet has Carl spray over enemy gang tags around Los Santos.
Sweet and Carl enter Sweet's Greenwood and drive over to a Ballas gang tag in Idlewood. Sweet sprays over it, while Carl proceeds and sprays over two other tags nearby before entering Sweet's car. They now head to East Los Santos, also Ballas territory. Carl is left alone and he sprays the Grove Street gang tag over three more Ballas tags before Sweet returns with his Greenwood precisely as Carl finishes his work. The two drive back to Grove Street. Once there, Sweet gives Carl money as a reward before deciding to split up.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in Sweet's car
- Drive with Sweet to Idlewood
- Spray over the remaining tags in the area
- Get back in Sweet's car
- Drive to East Los Santos
- Find and spray over the tags
- Go to the blip and find the next tag
- Spray over the final tag
- Get back in Sweet's car
- Go back to Sweet's house
One in-game day later after finishing this mission, a couple of things happen:
- B Dup, an old member and friend of the Grove Street Families decides to go on the radio of WCTR News to talk about what he thinks about drugs, saying that "'There ain't enough drugs in the hood, and that's the real problem for people."
- The murder of Officer Ralph Pendleburry has police who have just found his body seaching for clues on who murder him in the first place. As he worked for Internal Affiars, his case had him almost uncover a huge corruption ring in the LSPD (mainly the detectives Frank Tenpenny, Eddie Pulaski, who have created the police group CRASH and became corrupted with power) But a police spokesman denied this claim, (Even though it is true).
- CJ recieves a phone call shortly after this mission by Officer Hernandez, the C.R.A.S.H member who works with Officer Tenpenny and Pulaski. He warns CJ that leaving town would be a "big mistake", and that they are watching him.
The rewards for this mission are $200 and an increase in respect. The mission Cleaning the Hood is unlocked. A spray can now spawns at the bedroom inside the Johnson House.
- If the player has already sprayed over those tags before the mission, they will become undone and will be deducted from the total number of sprayed tags until resprayed over again.
- During the cutscene where Sweet drives away in his car to spray other tags, he is in the passenger seat rather than the driver's seat.
- Although Sweet says he will spray over other tags around the area, he does not, and only six tags will be sprayed over during the mission (the five tagged by Carl and the demo tag by Sweet).

Install a specialty digital printing press that could produce high-quality wine labels in batches of less than 10,000. Recruit young professionals to join the Penn Yan Rotary Club. Design a new brand strategy for a food service supply company with 75 years of local history. Introduce a video game for individuals with autism through a kickoff event where the crowd will source (fund) the project. Market Hunt Country Vineyard wines to prospective new customers. Promote a study-abroad program to campus students with a video.
These are just some of the recommendations that students in a Keuka College graduate program presented Feb. 20 and 21 to local merchants and business leaders as part of Dr. Yang Zhao's Marketing for Managers class.
The students met with leaders of local companies or non-profit organizations to assess the needs of the respective businesses, then worked in small teams to develop marketing plans to address the primary issues. Each team conducted research, interviews, surveys, and financial analysis to develop recommendations for their clients. The students then created a formal marketing plans showcased them in Powerpoint presentations during the final week of the eight-week course.
The eight-week course is part of a one-year program where students earn a Master of Science degree in management with a focus on international business (MSMIB). The MSMIB is similar to an MBA, but with more practical application. Enrollment features a mix of American, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Lebanese students, as well as one from Lesotho.
According to Fredric Tassone of Syracuse, whose team prepared a plan to help the Penn Yan Rotary Club recruit six new young professionals each year, conducting surveys was the hardest part. However, after analyzing the data the research uncovered, the team recommended the club target new members in the 23-35 age range, one of three market segments they identified, and of the three, the one most likely to have the time and interest to join.
"We gave them the most feasible option, since they don't have a lot of money to advertise, and with their networking focus, that's probably the best way to build up the club," Tassone said. (more…)

The quarterback position will be a key position for Ohio State in the 2013 recruiting class. The Buckeyes have already offered one in-state prospect at the position and another Ohioan is seeing some added interest in Kent (Ohio) Roosevelt product Tra'von Chapman. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound dual-threat prospect is one of Ohio's best signal callers and new Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman stopped by the school on Wednesday afternoon to speak with Chapman's coach. "Coach Herman the offensive coordinator e-mailed me and he was actually at the school today," said Chapman. Chapman is the son of former Ohio State wide receiver and current Kent State assistant coach Thad Jemison and has always held the Buckeyes in high regard. Bringing in Urban Meyer as head coach certainly hasn't done anything to hurt Chapman's interest in the Buckeyes. "It wasn't shock, it was actually excitement," Chapman said of the Meyer hire. "For them to get a good coach like that, a young coach, that's really been successful, it was definitely exciting for me to hear that. It was exciting to hear that they will be going to a traditional spread instead of the multiple offenses that they are running now so I was pretty happy when I heard that." "I'm a spread quarterback," he continued. "Watching Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin and stuff like that with (Meyer) and him bringing that to Ohio State is huge with Braxton Miller and all of the athletes that they have, hopefully sometime in the next couple of years I can fit that role as well." At the moment Chapman's lone offer is from Kent State but that will almost surely change in the very near future as some top programs from around the nation are showing continued interest in the big-time playmaker. "I've been getting letters from Michigan, Duke, Oregon, Northwestern, Minnesota, schools like that," he said. "Ohio State is interested now, that's really the school that is heating things up." In the mean time, Chapman is taking his talents to the basketball floor over the winter. "I decided to go ahead and play basketball after my (football) season ended," he said. "It's pretty good; it's definitely keeping me in shape." Chapman could be one of the big movers when the BuckeyeGrove.com class of 2013 Ohio rankings are released on Sunday.

Alboran Sea
Resort on the Alboran Sea near Cabo del Gato, Spain. Source: C. Michael Hogan
The Alboran Sea is the western-most part of the Mediterranean Sea between the coast of Spain and the coast of Morocco.
Alboran Sea. Source: Norman Einstein
It extends from the The Strait of Gibraltar in the west to the Alboran Island in the northeast where it meets the Balearic Sea. The Alboran Sea extends from between about 35 and 38 degrees N and 6 degrees N and the Equator.
The sardine and anchovy fisheries have historically been the most important pelagic target species; however, overfishing and water pollution threatens the sustainability of these activities; furthermore the use of driftnets is causing ongoing heavy mortality of small cetaceans in the Alboran Sea. Heavy tourism along the Iberian Alboran coast contributes to water pollution that adversely affects many marine organisms in the Alboran Sea.
The Alboran Sea was traversed in the first millennium BC by Phoenician navigators, and subsequently by Carthaginians and Romans who were in conflict over the rich Mauritanian colonies first established by the Phoenicians.
Circulation and Hydrography
The classical circulation pattern in the upper layer of the Alboran Sea is a swift Atlantic current surrounding and feeding two anticyclonic gyres, which together are termed the Alboran Gyre: The Western Alboran Gyre and the Eastern Alboran Gyre (WAG, EAG).
The circulation exhibits considerable variability, characterized by the stability of the two–gyre system in the summer months, and by a coastal jet sometimes called the Algerian Current flowing close to the African shore in the winter. The Alboran's average depth is just 445 metres (1461 feet) with a maximum depth of 1500 m (4920 feet).
The currents of the Alboran Sea reflect the interesting water balance between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Within the Mediterranean basin, the evaporation of water from the sea is greater than the inflow of water from rivers and rain. This makes the water of the Mediterranean more saline that that of the Atlantic and produced a water deficit in the sea that requires additional inflow to maintain the sea level.
The Mediterranean's high salinity and water deficit leads to thermohaline circulation with the Atlantic which has two parts:
- A swift current brings water from the Atlantic into the Alboran Sea through the Strait of Gibraltar at and near the surface. As a result, the surface water of the Alboran sea is lower saline Atlantic water mixing as it progresses eastward with the higher saline Mediterranean water. The Atlantic current surrounds and feeds two anticyclonic gyres: The Western Alboran Gyre (WAG) and the Eastern Alboran Gyre (EAG).
- The higher saline water of the Mediterranean Sea is denser and sinks to the lower depths of the Alboran Sea and flows out into the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar
Marine Ecology
The mixture of Atlantic and Mediterranean water also results in an amalgamation of Atlantic and Mediterranean influenced marine organisms in the Alboran Sea. While the Mediterranean Sea is generally considered an oligotrophic (low primary productivity) marine body, the Alboran Sea is considered one of the highest centres of productivity within the Mediterrranean Basin.
A special element of biodiversity found in the Alboran Sea are limited colonies of cold water coral reefs, dominated by the reef-building species Lophelia pertusa (Deepwater White Coral). These reef systems are biodiversity hotspots in only a few other locales within the Mediterranean Basin, such as in the Gulf of Lion.
Driven by water pollution and overfishing the deeper reaches of the Alboran are somewhat impoverished of marine fauna; for example, below 600 metres in depth there are virtually no copepods. However, historically the Alboran has been one of the most productive parts of the Mediterranean Basin for the pelagic fisheries of sardine and anchovy. By 2001 both of these species were considered overfished, although efforts have been made in the most recent decade to restore these fisheries to sustainable levels.
The Spanish shores of the Alboran have been affected by water pollution driven by the intensity of tourism in that region. According to the OECD residents of the Spanish Alboran coast have a strong liking for consuming sea larvae (called whitebait). Even though the sale of such larvae has been outlawed, the practise continues throughout the region and places great stress on other members of the marine food chain, due to the depletion of the larval resource.
An even more significant impact arising from the Spanish fishing fleet is cetacean driftnet bycatch, which kills a documented number of dolphins exceeding 400 per annum; another 5300 small cetaceans are entrained in the driftnets annually, which are claimed to be released. The chief species taken in bycatch are the Common dolphin and the Striped dolphin, although other cetaceans claimed in the killing are Risso's dolphin, Long-finned pilot whale and Sperm whale. Frequency of cetacean injuries is exacerbated by the dolphin and whale attraction to captured fishes, but also enhanced by the artificial lighting used on many handlines, which lights are attractive to cetaceans in their pursuit of squid prey. The resultant cetacean mortality is likely understated of the bycatch, evidenced by strandings of juvenile Sperm whales along the Iberian and Spanish Balearic shores being inexplicably high.
On the North African coast of the Alboran Sea, fishing is virtually the only means of livelihood for most of the people who live along the coastal zone; anchovies and sardines are also the chief species taken in these Moroccan and Algerian ports.
Terrestrial Margin
See main articles: Mediterranean woodlands and forests and Southwest Iberian Mediterranean sclerophyllous and mixed forests
The southern margin of the Alboran Sea consists largely of the Mediterranean woodlands and forests ecoregion stretches from the coastal plains to the hills of northern Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, and eventually surrounds the Atlas Mountains. To the north is the Alboran Sea, the westernmost element of the Mediterranean Sea. The variety of substrates and climates leads to a diverse mix of vegetation including holm oak forests, cork oak forests, wild olive and carob woodlands, as well as extensive Berber thuya forest. This old, endemic North African conifer species is representative of the great diversity and endemism of both flora and fauna in this ecoregion. Reptile diversity is high and the region harbors charismatic large mammals, including the rare and endangered Barbary leopard. Unfortunately, this region contains high human populations and widespread deforestation.
The northern margin of the Alboran Sea consists substantially of the Southwest Iberian Mediterranean sclerophyllous and mixed forests ecoregion, located on the southeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula, is characterized by a human-made semi-natural landscape, formed by extensive semi-natural sylvopastoral woodlands known as montados in Portugal and as dehesas in Spain. Historically, these forests, often dominated by oaks, have represented intense multipurpose management systems, adapted to adverse environmental conditions imposed by low-quality soils and sometimes harsh climate. This ecoregion serves as habitat to some of the most endangered species in Europe such as the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus), the imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca), and the great bustard (Otis tarda). Change in land use has led to soil degradation; tourism, urbanization, and road building, which factors comprise the most serious threats to this ecoregion.
Ancient History
The Alboran Sea was an early exploration route for Phoenician navigators probing the Mediterranean coast along the Moroccan and Algerian coasts, as well as the southern Iberian shores. These explorations led to establishment of the westernmost settlements of the Phoenicians and their successors, the Carthaginians. The most extreme colonies of the Phoenicians involved not only the crossing of the Alboran Sea, but sailing through the Strait of Gibraltar to reach the Atlantic Moroccan coast and establish substantial permanent coastal colonies at Lixus, Chellah and Mogador as well as the inland city of Volubilis.

Side note, do you guys who do these knot-work borders get them from somewhere or do you actually do a segment by hand and then splice it all together? Reason being I would like to do one of them someday but haven't had the drive yet to actually draw one out.

A heavily traveled highway in the east could be getting a status upgrade as early as Friday which could help spur economic development.
Greenville Mayor Allen Thomas says a section of Highway 264 between Greenville and Wilson could become an interstate in the near future.
Thomas met with Mayor Steve Tripp of Ayden and Mayor B.J. Murphy of Kinston on Thursday to discuss ways to improve regional transportation. He says having an interstate in the area could be a major boost to the economy.
"The designation of an interstate for 264 is extremely important, and something we're working towards. That is an order winner or an order loser for major industry. That's a check-off point for whether or not they come to your community," said Mayor Thomas.

Decorating the mechanisms
Firmly convinced that the consummation of a work of art can be seen in its smallest details, Jaeger-LeCoultre goes to great lengths in decorating its movements. Delicately hand-worked, the bevelling, cold drawing, buffing, smoothing and polishing must be worthy of the most complex mechanisms. Jaeger-LeCoultre also knows the ins and outs of its materials (steel, nickel silver, titanium and aluminium), with even the most high-tech among them receiving traditional decoration. Each component is an aesthetic statement, conceived, cut away and decorated to complete an outstanding work worthy of the beauty of the complication.

Carelessly discarded monofilament fishing line is a serious threat to humans and wildlife. When birds and other animals get tangled in it, they risk strangulation, starvation, amputation, and death. Because it's transparent, monofilament fishing line is also a serious risk to people who swim and dive near it.
SB 6080 would require a pilot program to be implemented for the collection, recovery, and recycling of monofilament fishing line at established fishing areas, boat ramps, and other locations.
Please support SB 6080 by testifying at the hearing in favor of the bill, submitting written testimony to the committee, or both.
The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, January 21, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. before the Senate Energy, Environment, and Telecommunications Committee. The hearing will be in Senate Hearing Room 4, J.A. Cherberg Building on the state capitol campus in Olympia. (Here are directions and a map of the capitol campus).
How to help:
- Attend the hearing and bring others who support this bill with you. Sign in, indicating you support the bill (pro). You don't have to testify, but you can!
- If you testify, please be brief. There are hearings on other bills during that committee meeting and your testimony may be limited to one or two minutes.
- Written testimony is welcome. Provide your written testimony the committee staff when you enter the hearing room. Please bring 14 copies of your testimony so there are plenty of copies for committee members and staff.
- If you can't be at the hearing and you'd like to send a brief comment by email, just reference the bill name (concerning a fishing line or monofilament recycling pilot program), the bill number (SB 6080) and your name, address, and affiliation (if any). Send your comments to Adam Day at firstname.lastname@example.com. Mr. Day is the legislative assistant for Senator Mark Mullet, the prime sponsor of SB 6080, and he'll give your comments to members of the Senate Energy, Environment, and Telecommunications Committee. If you'd rather contact each of the committee members directly, you can find their names listed here. You'll find their email addresses here. Note: Your comments should be submitted by January 21, 2014.

Clayton, MO (KSDK) - An Affton man already accused of repeatedly sodomizing a young child nearly 25 years ago, has now been indicted by the St. Louis County Grand Jury on all counts.
Andrew Ford, 83, is facing a lengthy prison term if convicted on all of the five counts of sodomy involving a victim who was between five and nine years of age when the crimes occurred between September 1987 and 1991.
Police investigators say the victim was a child Ford's wife was babysitting for at the time of the offenses.
Authorities say Ford is a registered sex offender following convictions of similar sex related crimes over the past 20 years.

Skull Girls
Skull Girls - Official E3 2011 Trailer
Check out the new Skull Girls trailer from E3 2011.
Skullgirls - Story Mode Trailer
There she was implanted with the synthetic Buer Drive and Gae Bolga parasites and infused with experimental Skullgirl blood, transforming her into the monster she is today. Violent and unstable as a result of these experiments, as a precaution she's mentally controlled by Lab Zero's powerful psychic director, Brain Drain. Fueled by rage, she draws her power from her pain and fury. Despite that, the soul of that scared young girl still lives on inside this monstrous body, desperately fighting off the onslaught of voices that would control her.
Skullgirls - Debut Trailer
From Autumn Games and Reverge Labs, Skullgirls uses advanced graphical technology to feature the unique art of Alex Ahad, whose work has appeared in Lava Punch, UDON's Tribute books, and Scott Pilgrim; in collaboration with renowned tournament champion Mike "Mike Z" Zaimont. Calling to mind old-school arcade fighters – with a high-definition twist – it's a one-of-a-kind, action-packed competition complete with awesome combos and an intriguing backstory.

Design Reflection: QUOPosted by arussell31 on Friday May 2, 2014 Under Blogpost Assignments, Design Reflection
QUO is a game on a 2D collaborative platform where the goal is to reunite a scientist (player 1) and explorer (player 2). While they are exploring ancient ruins their time machine breaks and the scientist is sent to the past while the explorer is left in the future with the time machine. The only issue is the time machine can only send things to the past because the power source isn't working. The two must work together to get through obstacles and find the power source to fix their time machine. Once this is done the two will be reunited in the present day.
There are several aspects that went into developing the game. We needed to consider the interactions between the players and if it was even possible to implement some of the actions. The best way we were able to approach these issues was through play testing. This allowed us to take advantage of Iterative Design (Zimmerman). Iterative design is when developers reinvent the way the game is played based on previous developments. After each play test we received positive comments and constructive criticism. Using this feedback allowed us to change our game mechanic to best fit the users. One criticism we received was that players did not understand what buttons needed to be pressed, or who was in the past or future. We fixed this issue by adding the cut scene and dereasing the number of buttons a player needed to press to navigate the game. Zimmerman said creating game is "a design methodology based on a cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining a work in progress." we definitely discovered it is easy to come up with an idea and hypothetically implement it but actually implementing ideas and creating a flawless game mechanic is a different story. Through these play tests and iterative design we were able to achieve a better game mechanic.
Lazarro talks about four different types of fun. They are easy, hard, serious, and people fun. Easy fun comes from exploration and creativity. Hard fun comes from overcoming challenges and achieving goals. Serious fun is when a player feels excitement over changing the environment and players. People fun is created through competition and cooperation with other users. Our game used serious and hard fun to give the user a sense of people fun. Users can change the environment to affect their own world or the other users world. They must also overcome obstacles to reach their goal of finding the power source. Through these two aspects of our game we have created an environment where the user feels "people fun" because in order to be successful the players must work together by changing their environment to overcome obstacles. For example, There is one moment in our game where the scientist is stuck at the bottom of a ledge, but the explorer is physically able to move on. If the explorer chooses to move on he will find that there will be obstacles later in the game that he cannot get through without the scientist there to change the environment. This then forces the explorer to help the scientist and vice versa. While the game was not created for "easy fun" AKA exploration and creativity, it is possible for a player to explore the environment and there are a few solutions to some of the obstacles so the user is able to get creative.
I was in charge of the background art and the item text that pops up when a player picks something up. The biggest challenge of this task was making sure my art matched the art of my other team mates. It can be difficult to make the work of several different artists look like it was made by one person. The idea of creating text popups was an idea that came after users were having trouble what to do with items or when they reached an obstacle. We used the popups to let users know the capabilities of each item and the necessary actions to get over an obstacle. For instance, there is a pillar that is fallen over in the game. If I was playing the game I would not assume that I could use it as a ramp without some sort of indication. We added a popup that appears when the user gets near the fallen pillar that hints they can use it as a ramp. We used visual affordances such as these popups and a cut scene to help the user perceive what we want them to do. It is important to give the user some guidance throughout the game without outright saying what the solution to an obstacle is. (Norman) This balance was delicate, but eventually we came up with game interactions that make it easier for players to know what to do.
Overall I feel like we successfully implemented our game and I enjoyed the whole process. I definitely believe the cut scene was a necessary and interesting addition to the game. It told the back story and helped the users understand what to do during the game. Before we implemented this idea users were easily confused and the game play became somewhat disorganized and unsuccessful. After it was implemented we realized the class liked our game much more because they understood the point and game mechanic.

Fifteen-year-old Hosiana Ngonyani feels that Tanzanian children are being left behind by the kind of education they are receiving. She says adults have mortgaged tomorrow for the revelry of today.
"These are my feelings when I consider how the critical shortage of science teachers at our school affects my future career," says the Form II student of Nasuri Secondary School in Namtumbo district, Ruvuma region.
"Since my primary school days, I had dreamt of becoming a medical doctor. To realise that dream I needed to study science subjects.
But with the prevailing shortage of science teachers, I'll never make something of myself," the stoutly-built student told journalists conducting research on the achievement and challenges facing the newly-established ward secondary in the country.
The survey was sponsored by the Tanzania Media Women's Association (TAMWA) and was carried out in January this year in nine ward secondary schools in Namtumbo district. This study laid bare the fact that even government officials, parents and teachers cry over the shortage of teachers, notably those of science subjects.
"We're forced to carry a heavy workload of teaching many subjects in view of the current shortage of teachers. It's also sad to note that our students are not taught biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics since we don't have teachers trained in those subjects," said Michael Kabogo, the academic master of Narwi Secondary School.
Narwi Secondary School is one of the 24 government-run schools in Namtumbo district badly hit by a serious shortage of science teachers compared to those owned by private institutions.
Bernard Lucas Mpwaga, headmaster of Mgombasi Secondary School, put the shortage of teachers in the perspective: "The future of churning out scientists from our school is bleak as we grapple with an acute shortage of science teachers. Even if we had science teachers where are the laboratories to train our would-be student scientists?"
He added: "A terrible bug has attacked our educational system, thus making it less potent as it was in the glorious past. Those who had the privilege of receiving quality education in those days appear to be making louder noise and wishing if it were possible to go back to the Tanzania of yesteryears."
His statement is supported by Baraka Kapinga, the deputy headmaster of Nasuri Secondary School.
"Nowadays the phrase "shortage of teachers" and its accompanying song of "falling standard of education" have become clichés since it is difficult to trace the decadence in the sector to the threshold of anyone, thus making it difficult to identify the real empire wreckers," Kapinga told the TAMWA researchers.
A leading education advocate in Namtumbo district, Frank Mikata, who is the secretary of Imani Group of the Roman Catholic Church, said concerted efforts are needed from education stakeholders to solve the shortage of teachers and other problems crippling the development of the sector.
"The answer to the problem of the education sector lies in a strong political action on behalf of public education. Strong political action does not require that education advocates and activists should enlist in partisan politics and contest election as councilors and legislators," he said.
"In spite of the many policy initiatives by government, education has no political champion. And until we have the champion who makes education his or her own agenda, our children will continue to drink from the dry cisterns of yesterday," Mikata told the researchers authoritatively.
Long-term solution
Facts and figures from the Namtumbo district education office show that a total of 75 science teachers are currently needed to satisfy the demand of the 24 government secondary schools. Currently the district has 35 science teachers.
"The long-term solution to this problem (shortage of science teachers) is to encourage more and more students to study science subjects as we try to build a solid foundation for those interested to become scientists," said Lydia Herbert, the Namtumbo District Secondary School Academic Officer.
Another strategy which Ruvuma regional authorities have crafted is the establishment of the Mbinga Training Centre for science teachers.
Courses being studied at the centre enable the trainees to teach science subjects without the use of such gadgets as test tubes or Bunsen burners just to name a few.
"We hope by doing so we can minimise the alarming shortage of science teachers in the not-so-distant future," Herbert said.
Paulina Mkonongo, the Ruvuma Regional Education Officer, said the future for science teachers is bright in her region. "Our thrust in future will be employ more science teachers and cut the figure of those employed to teach arts subjects," she said.
Ruvuma Regional Commissioner Said Thabit Mwambungu told the TAMWA researchers that his region would make every effort to improve the learning environment to enable every child to get education as his or her basic right.
"The challenge before us is to have more teachers, especially of science subjects, as a way of reinvigorating our education sector to match with the demands of this supersonic age," he said.
The councilor of Luchili ward in Namtumbo district, Zakaria Chepa Kutosha, said what is required is that the leaders must commit themselves to bold actions to redeem the education sector through recognising the place of teachers.
"Just think for a second what the world would be without teachers. As the images rush through your mind, think again about the treatment they get from us individually, and from their employers, especially governments," Kutosha said.
"The sustenance of education this far," he said "has been based on the dedication of the teachers, who still relish seeing their efforts turning young men and women into the country's leaders."
"Special attention needs to be given to attracting younger people to teaching. At all levels, they are not ready to subject themselves to a life of penury, which is what teaching has become over the years. Very few enduring improvements can be made on the future of this society if we continue with the minimal investments we make in the welfare of the teachers."
Seventy-year-old Yassin Reha, a resident of Namtumbo, says there is the need for a supportive framework to encourage improvement in the teachers' welfare.
"I lived in the colonial era and saw how teachers were respected in our society. They were the light of the village. Today, however, teachers work in a hostile environment lacking housing and witnessing delays in payment of their salaries. This is why some of them refuse to go rural areas where they can face hell," he said.
"There is also need to set up good monitoring teams to ensure that schools never forget that teachers are important instruments in a nation's development," he added.
Another Namtumbo town resident irked by the deteriorating education sector is Abdallah Rashid. He said to give the nation quality education, government, teachers, parents and students have their respective roles to play.
"The crocodile tears that the nation is shedding over the poor performances of the students in terminal public examinations is uncalled for because the decay that has enveloped the nation's education sector did not come suddenly." he said.
"Just like a caterpillar gradually eats up leaves, the devourer of our educational system started eating it up under our nostrils, then nobody cared. It is the total destruction of the system that has brought the abysmal failure to the nation's threshold."

Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah: The Ceremony, the Party, and How the Day Came to Be, pb
"Here is a warmly written discussion of bat & bar mitzvahs, their historical backgrounds and evolution. A special chapter features the reminiscences of well-known actors, television personalities, and sports figures about their own bar and bat mitzvahs. Joan Reilly's lively black-and-white drawings perfectly illustrate the details of the event and the celebrations. "

Perfecting the art of the puppy-dog eyes can be an effective way to get what you want, or in the case of our featured male actors, an effective way to win over a majority of the female (and probably male) population. Invented by our loyal furry friends (who know exactly what they're doing), it is almost impossible for one to avoid those wide dramatic eyes. Be it your furry pal asking for forgiveness after destroying the rug, or your significant other trying to persuade you to do something you'd really rather not, it is inevitable that one look will convince you to do almost anything for those taking advantage of it. Cracked starring David Sutcliffe had us won over as soon as Sutcliffe appeared on screen as Detective Aidan Black. The series itself is an intense, action-filled emotional ride that we can't get enough of. Paired with Black's heroism, slight fragility and those eyes, this show is definitely not one to miss. So in honor of Detective Black's irresistible canine features, we made a top ten list. You're welcome.
Don't miss Cracked Fridays at 10p ET/ 9p PT

After what he described as a 'not good' junior season, Arsenault, a senior for the Dragons has emerged as one of the area's most potent offensive threats in a deep senior class that has seen the Dragons improve the past four years to this season's 11-6-1 record going into next week's district tournament.

Signs and symptoms of the most common form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome include:
Symptom severity can vary from person to person. Some people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome will have overly flexible joints, but few or none of the skin symptoms.
People who have the vascular subtype of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome often share distinctive facial features of a thin nose, thin upper lip, small earlobes and prominent eyes. They also have thin, translucent skin that bruises very easily. In fair-skinned people, the underlying blood vessels are very visible through the skin.
One of the most severe forms of the disorder, vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can weaken your heart's largest artery (aorta), as well as the arteries to your kidneys and spleen. A rupture of any of these blood vessels can be fatal. The vascular subtype also can weaken the walls of the uterus or large intestines — which may also rupture.

Up close you can see at least three 'hairs' of rubber from this picture from the side of my tyre:
Why do they exist? I've heard they are just a bi-product of the manufacturing process.
They serve no purpose on the finished tire, but they are a consequence of a very important detail of the fabrication process.
While rubber is being injected or pressed into the mold, there are risk of air bubbles forming between the rubber and the mold, which can prevent the rubber from getting in all the intricate patterns of the mold, thus producing malformed tire.
That's why the mold has vent holes that allow air to get out. A little rubber gets squeezed into these holes and that is what causes these "hair".
These hairs have no useful purpose as long as riding concerns, so they can be removed with no consequences.
Those are "sprues" -- bits of rubber that went into the vent holes in the tire mold. They serve no purpose.
i can only imagine during the manufacturing process that hot rubber is injected into a mold like device and then spun till cool enough to remove, these little hair like things are formed during the centrifuge process through little holes that serve as a way for air to escape to prevent imperfections in the tyre (tire).

Accompanied by his wife, Laura, Vice President Cheney and his wife, Lynne, the president stepped onto the lawn at exactly 8:46 a.m., the moment the first plane struck the World Trade Center.
Earlier, the president attended a worship service near the White House.
The president says it's a day for prayer and remembering the 9/11 victims and their families.

I have heard "aggro" said in commentaries in a few different contexts and I have no idea what it really means. I can figure out what the commentator means, but I don't understand that word.
Aggro as a term originated in MMO's, but its usage has spread considerably.
Originally it was coined to describe any creature who would attack you on sight. So an "aggro" mob was one who would attack without being provoked, as opposed to one who wouldn't attack unless you attacked it first. The related usages here are "aggro range" or "aggro radius" which is the distance at which the mob will attack, and "aggro chain" which is whether or not the mob will bring his friends along, even if they are outside of normal aggro range.
As the games evolved "aggro" became the state of being attacked. If you were being attacked, you "had aggro", and if you did too much damage to something and it started attacking you instead of someone else you "stole aggro". If you did something stupid you could have "too much aggro" which meant too many things were drawn to attack you.
In your example, he's saying that the unit AI can be exploited because they don't chain aggro, so you can move into their aggro range, and individually "pull" them from their groups and eliminate them one at a time.
It means that you move closer to enemy forces (may be slightly attack 'em) and move back.
i.e. as terran you can aggro enemy to go into range of your tanks
you can also check wiki. Starcraft's AI uses distance and type of unit to determine what to attack.
Aggro basically means aggressive. If you see or hear it in a game in reference to something (ex. Juliet in Lollipop Chainsaw complaining that the zombies are being so aggro) it just means that they're aggressive and will attack you.
It is a shortened form of aggressive. It describes monsters that will recklessly attack with no regards to their own defence. This term is in Magic the Gathering, a popular TCG, it is a type of deck with cheap, fast creatures that have high attack but low defence to try kill the opponent as quickly as possible. Aggro creatures are mainly in red. Mono-Red decks and Red-White decks are commonly used as aggro decks.
"Aggro" means to have aggression, and to be extremely violent. Monsters with high "aggro" are to avoided unless you want a serious fight on your hands. I never heard this term until I played video games, don't know where it came from, all sources seem to be inaccurate when they say it was before MMORPG's. It clearly means violent, mad, and aggressive in MMO terms though, which makes sense anyway, any other usage is silly. Which is why no one else has ever heard of it before MMORPG's because it IS a term that originated from them, at least in an intelligent form anyway.
"Aggro" is a shorted form of aggravate, meaning to annoy someone or something so it will attack you.
