Architecture is the platform where all cultures, heritages, traditions, and histories meet, through architectural conservation, the built heritage is prolonged and conserved by the planning of individuals or organisations that works solely for the purpose of conservation & preservation of Architectural heritage. Through critical decisions that are based on the criteria of combining, artistic, contextual, and informational values, the heritage is preserved, restored, or sometimes, no actions might be taken for the best interest of the cultural and architectural heritage.
Planners, environmentalists, and policy makers, are all working together to ensure the conservation and preservation of the cultural, and architectural heritage to the extent of meeting the needs of the present and the needs for the future. The challenge that we face, is not just the conservation and the protection of the heritage, but also how to convey the importance of preserving our heritage to the individuals, communities, and the cities of the world. The role of each and every individual in each community is as important as the role of the vast organizations that always seek to help and protect the environment, and heritage.
Following the success of the first international conference on "Conservation of Architectural Heritage", the second version of the conference will take place in Luxor & Aswan, Egypt on the 23rd of February, 2018 till the 26th of February, 2018. Scientific research will foster the attempt to improve the know-how in the field. Expected results include a better understanding of the problems facing architectural heritage, the development of policies favoring its conservation, the definition of practical guidelines and the organization of training and awareness activities.
The conference proceedings will be published in full in ARChive International Journal. Only selected papers will be published in the Resourceedings Journal by Springer or ESSD - the international journal on Environmental Science & Sustainable development..

Attending conferences is very beneficial on the professional level Conferences are full of people promoting new ideas which will expand your knowledge and undoubtedly help your career.
You not only get to hear presentations but also converse with other researchers from different universities and even countries you may have only heard or read about.You learn from experts in the field. It is a great opportunity to find more about your field and listen to ideas that could help inspire research ideas of your own.
Not to mention, you will get an overview of the place or city where the conference is being held and learn about its people and culture.
Conferences also can expand your resources by providing a great opportunity to promote gathered information on new technologies related to your research. Moreover, they let you test them out, share teaching tools and techniques, or even obtain samples of textbooks.
It is an opportunity to engage with respectable professors and discuss with them the very latest research projects they could be working on.
Delegates will have the choice of receiving the conference proceedings as either a hard cover book or in digital format on a USB flash drive. The USB flash drive will additionally contain proceedings from previous conferences in this series.
Indexing and Archiving Papers presented at IEREK conferences regularly appear in notable reviews, publications and databases, including referencing and abstract.
Once an abstract is submitted, it will be sent to the reviewers committee to go through the revision process:
- Elementary Review:
Once an abstract has been submitted to our website, it is assigned for review by the reviewers using the abstract review sheet and validation of publication. This is based on four criteria:
· Accepted as is for publication (with minor editing changes).
· Conditionally accepted for publication (with revisions provided to authors).
· Rejected but encouraged for re-submission with major modifications.
· Rejected as inappropriate or unworthy of publication in this certain conference.
The criteria for accepting abstracts for the conference are as follows; a relevant topic of the conference should be proposed with clear writing, aims, and objectives of the study clearly presented as well as a sound literature and methodology of work.
- First Acceptance:
Authors will receive a notification message to know the feedback of the reviewers committee. If an author receives the acceptance of his or her abstract, he or she has to continue writing the full-length paper using the requested templates.
- Uploading Full-Length Paper:
Authors who are allowed to upload their full-length paper(s) should use the same account details to upload their full paper(s).
- Second Acceptance:
The final paper will proceed to the primary revision to be checked if it meets the conference proceedings standards. Once it gets accepted, the author will be informed to pay the fees so that it could be sent for the final revision by the scientific committee.
- Payment:
In this step, and to proceed paper(s) that passed to final revision process and to get the final approval, authors have to pay the requested fees. Otherwise, the final revision process will not be considered for their papers.
- Inspections and Final Approval of Full Papers:
The full papers that paid the requested fees will get finally inspected, either scientifically or linguistically. There will be a rigorous review process of full papers following the previous process according to the following criteria:

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

I was perusing Kickstarter this evening and found this rapid cord attachment – seems like the kind of idea that several of you may be interested in.
Also seems like the kind of thing I'd misplace after each trip, but that's an entirely different issue.
Figure 9 varient for the knot impaired.
I'll pass thanks.
@brooklynkayakLocale: South West US
I often find line adjuster gadgets interesting, but I eventually just go pack to using knots.
There are people that just will not learn to tie knots, so it might be good for them.
@backcountryasmLocale: south
A knot is free, weighs nothing in my pack, cant forget it at home or loose it on the trail. It's a skill that Ive endured to retain (use it or loose it!). Nothing more to add, the rest is self explanatory.

Every Boot Needs the Occasional Tune Up
RMs go this distance. Some of our customers bought theirs over half a century ago and still wear them every day. In fact, some would argue that the worst their boots looked is the day they bought them. With every wear, you'll add character and personality to your pair. But even the best maintained boots can still only stand up to so much. When yours tire, send them back to us for a service.
The same boot makers who originally made them can redress the leather upper, replace the elastics, the tugs and resole them. All you need to do is get them to your nearest R.M.Williams store and they can have them back working as hard as you do in no time at all.
Even the toughest ones need care. To keep your boots working as hard as you do, boot repairs are part of our ongoing customer service. Depending on the urgency of your repairs, you have two options available: A standard boot repair will be returned to your nearest store within 2 to 4 weeks (depending on repair/s required).

Rolling Thunder Thighs
Saturday, Gold Coast Skating Rink will be full of hot, female bodies tackling each other on roller skates. The sport of roller derby is a fast, dangerous one: When the scoring player laps members of the opposing team, points get awarded, so from both ends, lots of blocking and tackling ensue. Females go down theatrically a la World Wrestling Entertainment style, but still violently enough for the matches to be called bouts. So when the Gold Coast Derby Grrls play against the Garden State Rollergirls there will be fun and danger (even for you). You can sit at a section marked off as the suicide seats, where these hard-hitting, super-fast girls can slam right into you. So make sure to bring your crash pad, rent one for $5, or buy one for $10 at the merch booth. They dont need it, but you can find your liquid courage at the rink: Gold Coast keeps a stocked bar. Bring your own chair or cushion as well. Music will be provided by the house DJ, George Van Orsdel. Tickets cost $10 to $12, kids under twelve get in for free, and there will also be some little ladies collecting donations for Toys for Tots.

Mr. Smith was starting to regain consciousness as Detective Leonard stormed into the warehouse. A look of anger flashed into the former's eyes as his arms were grasped behind him. I felt Alicia cower behind me as The Detective read her father the Miranda Rights.
"Andrew James Smith, you are under arrest for the murder of Joshua Simon Craig and the attempted murder of Alicia Penelope Craig. You have the right to remain silent…"
I turned and looked fully at Alicia. She may have been older than me, but right now she seemed so much smaller; living in a 'shed' all her life had made her a ghost. Skin of paper white and curls the palest cream, she was truly a light in Andrew Smith's choking darkness. Saving my life against the orders of a homicidal man showed she was certainly a saint in her own right.

Outlook The gloss long ago came off Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan who steered a nimble course through the financial crisis only to get repeatedly tripped up in its aftermath.
If yesterday's quarterly results are anything to go by he's still stumbling, with yet more legal woes wrecking his numbers. Among the hits for the fourth quarter was part of the $2.6bn payment to settle government and private claims related to the work JPMorgan did for fraudster Bernie Madoff.
It's part of a $20bn (£12bn) haul that it has had to pay to watchdogs on both sides of the Atlantic for a range of violations. The most high profile of these was the so-called "London Whale" trader whose activities lost the bank $6bn. But it wasn't the most expensive – that was the $13bn hit to cover claims that it mis-sold mortgage linked securities.
JPMorgan still turned a profit for the year – nearly $18bn all told. It still rewarded its investment bankers handsomely with pay averaging £126,000 (down 4 per cent, but they won't need to shop in Aldi). And it still paid Mr Dimon a king's ransom.
But you do wonder how long it will be before investors start to get restive.
Twenty billion is not the sort of number that can simply be dismissed as a one-off, and the bank isn't yet out of the woods. Analysts are hoping that JPMorgan's legal costs will ease a bit. But there are still several investigations pending. You can see how it got here: by pressurising/incentivising staff to do whatever it takes to keep the short term numbers up.
Until recently JPMorgan's investors have been complicit in this, as it has delivered, time and again. It's only now that the cost of that is becoming clear. Can Mr Dimon chart a new course for the bank that keeps the regulators at bay while keeping his investors happy? Is that actually possible? That's the question both parties have to grapple with.

Chapter 1.2
Brisla walked into the village with everyone staring at her. What was there to stare at? Was it not normal to see a person in town? She sighed as she searched for a tavern to stop by. Maybe wanderers weren't the most often sight here. There was a small one nearby and so she walked in.
"A pint of butterbeer." She said slamming down the change.
"Butterbeer for the traveller!" The barman shouted, counting the money.
"One pint, butterbeer, serving up!" A server dropped the mug on the counter. Brisla swept it up and plopped down at a seat to think.
Where would she go now? Continue down the road? Maybe she should go and find a companion. It would be much more jolly if she had one. She looked around the room but found no one in particularly interesting. A few gamblers, a buff looking thug, an old man. Nothing traveller material. As she scanned the room, the door opened and a 10 year old boy strode in. He ordered a butterbeer and sat down. Brisla stared at him curiously. What was a boy doing here? Obviously it also seemed like his first time.
"Hey, boy." She shouted. The boy turned around. "You want to join me?"
The boy grinned.
"Sure." He grabbed him mug and jumped over to her table. Brisla eyed the boy curiously.
"So, what takes you here today?"
"My sister was being stupid. So I'm running away."
"Really?" Brisla looked from her drink. Would he be willing to come with her?
"Yeah. But now I don't know what to do..." He trailed off.
"Would you be willing to join me?"
"Really? Sure! What do you do?" The boy nodded eagerly.
"Well, I suppose you can call me a full time wanderer. I travel for a living."
"Are you serious? I've always wanted to be a wanderer!" The boy looked at her in awe. "Take me in. Please! Please please please!" He jumped up and down shaking her arm.
"Of course." Brisla said with a wide grin on her face. "Welcome to the world kid. Now, you need to tell me your name. I can't just call you kid."
"Granite." He responded eagerly.
"Brisla." They shook hands.
"Nice to meetcha, Brisla." Granite saluted with a large smile on his face. The little boy looked so excited.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Finish that drink and we'll need to get going."
"Yes sireee!" Granite turned and started chugging down his drink.

Following Sunday's portion of the NFL draft, Mike Tice and Scott Studwell looked physically drained. For the last month, they had evaluated, ranked and shuffled players in the team's exhaustive process of filling out their draft board. But, when it was all said and done, for a second straight year, they had ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper again singing their praises.
After the first day, the Vikings had come away with two of the top defensive ends in the draft and an outside linebacker that they believe can start immediately. By the end of the draft, they had not only five more players -- including the top two on both their and Kiper's boards heading into Day Two -- but they hit what they believe to be a bonanza of unsigned free agents in the hour following the final selection.
"We had not only an excellent draft, but also an excellent college free agency. You can't downplay that. We got some rubies."
The second day started with the selection of OT Nat Dorsey on the fourth round. Dorsey, a mammoth left tackle from Georgia Tech who was recruited by former Vikings defensive coordinator George O'Leary, will begin as career as a backup to Bryant McKinnie. But, with Mike Rosenthal in the final season of his contract and the potential that Dorsey could even be moved to guard as an eventual replacement for Dave Dixon, the options are open.
That pick was followed by RB Mewelde Moore of Tulane. Moore is an all-purpose back who became just the second Division I player in history to have more than 4,000 yards rushing and 2,000 yards receiving in his career. While the Vikings backfield is crowded already, Moore will find a niche with the team.
"Some people described him as a faster Amp Lee," Tice told VU. "Amp Lee was a damn good football player for us coming out of the backfield. (Moore) is a third-down back that we're going to try to find a role for. That Moe's (Williams) role. Moe's getting up there in age -- not that this is going to force Moe out or take any reps away."
In the fifth round, Southern Mississippi linebacker Rod Davis was selected to help fill in some numbers. Coming into the draft, the Vikings had just seven linebackers on the roster and one of them -- MLB Greg Biekert -- is expected to announce his retirement as early as this week.
With the final two picks, the Vikings selected South Carolina defensive back Deandre' Eiland and tight end Jeff Dugan. Eiland has a chance to make the squad because of his versatility. While he's going to be tried out as a cornerback, he has experience at free safety and nickel packages -- enhancing his chances of making the team. The final pick, Maryland tight end Jeff Dugan, was viewed by many scouts as the best blocking tight end in the draft and will compete with the younger tight ends already on the squad for a slot behind Jim Kleinsasser and Jermaine Wiggins.
All in all, Tice was ecstatic that the team was able to stick to its draft board and come away with players that he thinks will make the Vikings much tougher this season.
"This is the second year we've done this (draft) process," Tice told VU. "I love it to death. I think it's very thorough. It takes a lot of time and really wears you out. The best thing is it has so many checks and balances in the system that we eliminate mistakes."
* After the draft, the Vikings announced the re-signing of free agent center Cory Withrow to back up Matt Birk this season.
* The Vikings signed 13 free agents following the draft -- WR Chris Collins of Mississippi, WR Lane Danielsen of Iowa State, WR Blake Elliott of St. John's (Minn.), guard Anthony Herrera of Tennessee, under tackle Spencer Johnson of Auburn, QB Matt Kegel of Washington State, long snapper Cullen Loeffler of Texas, LB Jeff Mack of Wisconsin, safety Ben Nauman of Augustana, kicker Dan Orner of North Carolina, TE Richard Owens of Louisville, OT Alan Reuber of Texas A&M, running back Butchie Wallace of Marshall, LB Grant Wiley of West Virginia and NT Jeff Womble of Florida State.
* First-round pick Kenechi Udeze had fun at the expense of his former coach Pete Carroll by taking part in a phone interview with Carroll and members of the Minnesota media. Identifying himself as a writer for the Minneaplis Tribune, Udeze asked Carroll to rate Udeze as a player and then asked if he was a head case in college before letting Carroll know who was asking the pointed questions.
* The Vikings actually had DE Darrion Scott rated one slot ahead of second-round pick Donterrious Thomas, but got both -- giving them three of the top 34 players on their board.
* USC cornerback Will Poole, who dropped because of some character issues, was rated as a first-round prospect by the Vikings, but part of their process is to wait until the second day to take players they have concerns about. Poole went in the fourth round before the Vikings could select him.

Entry 2: Maljana
Dawn broke over the farm. It was early and it was late, a crucial time in the lives of two young women.
Maljana yawned, kicking aside her covers as the first bars of light snuck in through the gap between curtains. The old oak panels were cold beneath her foot, the tawny skin of her right leg standing out against the cold steel of her left. The metal limb was no less responsive than its flesh counterpart as Maljana pushed herself to her feet, its wires and cords having been linked to her muscle and nerves for as long as she could recall. Both supported her slender frame with ease as she crossed the room, seeking an appropriate replacement for her bedclothes. She had only the attire stuffed hastily into her backpack, amounting to little more than a scruffy vest, tatty trousers and a pair of shoes as loved as they were worn.
Do I have enough for some replacements? Something a little tidier, perhaps? Maljana looked to the table where she had dumped her meagre collection of possessions, knowing full well what she would see there. Barely enough money to catch the train from nearby Dassin to Ferish beyond the cliffs. Had she been alone, it might have been a viable plan. As of a few days ago, she was no longer without company, for better or worse. Food it is, then. We hardly have much of that left, after all.
Her trousers buckled and hair braided, she did her best to ignore the tear running through the fabric over one knee. It had not been very long at all since she had possessed enough wealth to never have worried about such things. Now, she lodged in someone else's home, eating their food and sleeping in their bed whilst they were away. The less said about her unkempt clothing, the better. It would not be long before her prosthetics were in need of maintenance. She sighed, running a finger across the cold prosthetic. Mechanics were not hard to find. Trustworthy ones were substantially less common.
She bent and flexed the metal arm, clenching and unclenching a fist. Still as responsive as always, but how long would that last? She had grown accustomed to scuffles and scrapes in recent weeks, and even the strongest metals would suffer under the strain of constant damage. Temporarily losing the arm's functionality would not be so bad, but the leg . . . She shuddered at the thought. Never again would she be confined to a wheelchair, or be forced to hobble about on crutches. There had been enough of that in her childhood; the pointed fingers and mocking laughs of her peers were memories she could never escape. Emotional wounds ran deepest, her uncle had once told her. He had not been wrong.
Leaving the bedroom that did not belong to her and tossing aside a towel that was not hers, Maljana headed for the kitchen. Her stomach had been rumbling throughout the night, keeping her awake with its incessant demands for food. With their own supplies dwindling, eating had become a last resort, a temporary counter to a feral and painful hunger. To her relief, the farm had presented them with an opportunity to replenish their stock of food and water. The usual occupants had not left much other than tinned goods, but something was always better than nothing. Maljana would have preferred meals with a little more elegance to them, but she had learned the hard way that a starving woman should not be picky about the food she eats. She had endured the life of a starving adolescent once before, and it was a fate she would wish on no-one.
A conservative person might have described the downstairs kitchen as a spacious chamber. Maljana would have disagreed with them. Vast enough to a small home all on its own, there was sufficient room for half a dozen people to bustle about without ever coming close to touching. The cupboards and cabinets, if filled to capacity, could have fed a small family for months, if not a year or more. A modest selection of beans, peas and similar tinned goods remained, the more luxurious items having presumably been devoured before the family departed. Maljana intended to make good use of all they had left behind. She was not fond of theft, but it was a preferable course to the fate awaiting those deprived of food for too long.
By the time Maljana's companion shuffled into the room, she had already gained a functional understanding of the oven despite its unconventional design. She would hardly call herself ignorant, but some nations used symbols and letters that were completely incomprehensible. Vestralt was no exception, at least to someone of Maljana's heritage and upbringing.
"Good morning," she said through her best smile, serving a bowl of tomato soup for herself. Soup without bread to dip was unthinkable, but their hasty departure from the city had left no time to stock up on basic supplies. "Did you sleep well?"
The woman frowned back at her with eyes as cold a green as Maljana had ever seen. Her emotional state was not unexpected, but nor was it appreciated. "As well as could be expected. When are we leaving?"
"Soon enough, Ysiel." Talking to the younger woman was hard enough without enduring the unpleasant moods as well, but Maljana could hardly blame her. Framed for a crime she didn't commit – a truth few were willing to acknowledge – Ysiel's circumstances had only spiralled out of control from there. I wouldn't mind a little gratitude for my assistance. I doubt I'll see any of that for a while.
Terrible etiquette aside, Maljana tried not to bemoan her companion's behaviour. She herself had been no less obnoxious at the age of twenty years; the seven since had only served to enlighten her regarding prior misdeeds. Passing on lessons of wisdom had not worked as well as she'd hoped; Ysiel wanted nothing other than to return home, her supposed transgressions forgotten. There was no chance of that. One of them knew it, and the other would accept it in time.
"Here," Maljana said, sliding a bowl of beans across the table. She hoped Ysiel would temper her reaction for a change. If the meal did not go down well, there was little better on the menu. "I don't intend to remain here long. We should head to Dassin first. I hope to find a mechanic there. These prosthetics of mine must take priority for the time being. If not that, we can at least assess our situation from what we see there."
Ysiel turned up her nose at that, but ate without complaint. That, at least, was a victory. Stealing a glance through the curtains at her side, Maljana saw nothing but fields empty of crops and cattle. Wherever the owners had gone, they would not be returning for a while, and they had left behind no hands to maintain their crops. The specifics of their departure had been difficult to glean through eavesdropping; knowing they would not return in the next few days was sufficient enough.
Ysiel spoke between mouthfuls. "What are you looking for?"
"Company," she replied. Pursuers were never far behind. Vestralt City was more dedicated to justice than anything else, to the point of blinding themselves. If only the company within these walls were a little more friendly.
It was hard to tell who would come for them first. Ysiel had been branded a criminal of the worst sort – the blame for several murders had been lain at her feet, not to mention fleeing her pursuers – and Maljana herself was only slightly better off. Unlike Ysiel, she could not claim innocence. Not truthfully. She had not expected the response to be so swift nor so aggressive. In the eyes of the law, she was no better than a murderer herself. Some people, she had decided, were not deserving of the treasures they possessed. Her own reasons for being in the capital would remain hidden from Ysiel, as they must. Maljana did not yet know how much she could trust the woman.
Sitting opposite her new companion, she decided that laboured conversation was preferable to silence. "Can you tell me the specifics of what happened that night?" It was a dangerous question; even idle chatter was enough to provoke the woman to anger. "I heard bits and pieces from the officers on the scene, but nothing of substance."
Hardly an hour after making herself an enemy of the law, Maljana had met Ysiel. Not intentionally – she would never seek out strangers, let alone notorious ones – but through sheer chance. It had been Maljana's intimate knowledge of Vestralt City that had secured their freedom, an act she had yet to receive any gratitude for. It mattered, albeit little. More important was the sheer accomplishment of escaping the city undetected. Few had ever managed it, and Maljana was junior by at least a decade than the youngest to do so. There was something to be proud of in that, even if she was the only one to think so.
"There's nothing to tell," Ysiel insisted. There was a chilly certainty to her when she spoke, the disposition of someone accustomed to getting their own way. "I did nothing wrong."
It was not the first time she had made that assertion, and Maljana did not doubt her. "Indeed," she said, the very face of patience. "But something must have transpired to make Vestralt's officers name you the perpetrator."
Maljana had not seen the bodies, of which there were said to be two. Both men, by all accounts, and each a force of influence or authority in the city. They rarely travelled without the company of their private security, leaving very few opportunities for an attacker to strike. That the city's officials had pinned the crime on Ysiel was most concerning; something must have happened to link her to the victims at their time of death.
"Well?" she said, hoping her prodding did not provoke Ysiel's anger.
"It wasn't me," she said sullenly, her tangles of hair swishing to and fro as she shook her head. "They were already dead when I found them. Rather, they had already been murdered. I don't know why the security on-site were so quick to suspect me. I had no weapons, no blood on me . . . The whole room was bloodied."
"They weren't accompanied by guards?" The idea of any of Vestralt's elites travelling unprotected was beyond belief.
Ysiel stared at her as if Maljana was overlooking the most obvious point. "Of course not. Don't you know why they were there?"
Maljana met her gaze. "I wasn't in the city to ponder the lives of its upper classes."
"Think about it," she replied, pushing aside her bowl. "Why would any two people forgo their security to be alone together?"
That got it to click. "Ah. So it was an intimate encounter, then?"
"Exactly." For once, Ysiel spoke without a hint of frustration or aggravation. "Or so the gossip says. Really, though, why else would they both send away their guards?"
Maljana shrugged. The workings of the big cities were foreign to her. What people got up to in their spare time, be it business of pleasure, was barely even a tertiary concern in her life. She could count her lifetime visits to Vestralt City on one hand, and she endeavoured to linger as little as possible. The entire populace had been in an uproar since the murders, but Maljana had had no clue who the victims were until Ysiel had explained them to her.
"One of them wasn't all that important. Not anyone worth killing. The bald one, however . . . You saw the pictures? He was the CEO of Ranger Tech, hence the chaos ensuing from his death." Looking very proud of herself for possessing such information, Ysiel visibly relaxed. "His companion was an executive with Gladston Banking. Important, but not especially so."
"Ranger? The company sponsoring AI development and integration?" Maljana said. Encountering an AI in the cities was nothing new, and life had been that way for many years. The move to weaponise them was a more recent development, and not one many approved of. "The CEO of that company would have had many enemies."
"Right. This was clearly an assassination, albeit a late one."
Maljana raised a curious eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"They finished their Vessel AI project last month," Ysiel explained. "An Artificial Intelligence was successfully installed on a Class 3 warship. Anything less simply lacked the processing power to maintain the AI's systems."
This, at least, was a topic Maljana knew well. "There aren't many Class 3s. Only five, if I remember right."
"Four," Ysiel corrected, quickly hiding her smug grin. "One was destroyed in battle. Its loss is what accelerated the Vessel programme."
"This is interesting stuff," Maljana said, "but not as interesting as how you came to know it all."
The younger woman scowled, but for once there were no signs of an impending shouting match. Maljana had often wondered what Ysiel's role within Vestralt City was, and her nonchalant explanation of the murders had somewhat shortened the list of possibilities. Flexing her metallic fingers, Maljana decided that she was more wary than curious about any information that might irrevocably involve her in a mess that was not hers to clean. Despite all she had done, there was still a chance to safely and quietly extricate herself from Ysiel's predicament.
Whether she wanted to, or would, was a different matter.
"I worked as a journalist before . . ." She sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I didn't enjoy it. My last assignment was to investigate any possible unlawful dealings surrounding the Vessel project."
"You were following the soon-to-be-deceased CEO, then?"
"I suppose you could call it that," Ysiel said, almost pouting. "I heard tell of an off-the-books meeting between him and another official, so I tagged along to investigate. Turns out their interests were more romantic than business, and my mistake led me right to the scene of a murder."
From what Maljana had heard of the newspapers and their ilk, a murder was no insignificant matter. She put that to Ysiel, adding, "If only you hadn't been framed from the crime. That could have been a career-making story. Two of Vestralt's elites murdered during, or because of, their romantic tangle."
"No story is worth my freedom." There was a steeliness to her words as hard as Maljana's prosthetics. "One day, perhaps, I'll be able to give my account. Forget what I told you earlier, those ramblings of mine. I would much rather simply avoid a prison cell for the time being."
Maljana was well acquainted with that particular fear. Few as my reasons are for staying to help her any further, how can I simply walk away? Vestralt's justice is swift and merciless, especially for a killer.
They sat in silence, Ysiel contemplating her empty bowl whilst Maljana stared intently at the table. A decision had been made, surprisingly effortless despite all it entailed. To aid someone deemed a reprobate by Vestralt City was a crime almost as heinous as the one Ysiel had taken the blame for. That, Maljana supposed, was the very reason her conscience would not allow her to walk away. Even criminals rarely deserved the punishments handed out by the administration. She could not, would not, allow an innocent person to share in their fate.
Her grandmother would have called that an admirable act. Her mother would have agreed. Maljana was not so sure. Her own priorities were very much at the mercy of time; how long could she linger without jeopardising herself? There was also the matter of what she stood to gain from the arrangement. Even gratitude was uncertain where Ysiel was concerned, bad-tempered and obstinate as she was.
It was well beyond sunset when their circumstances saw any real change. The two had spoken sporadically throughout the day, neither touching upon the fact that they could not step outside the walls of the farmhouse. Ysiel softened as the hours passed them by, a change Maljana attributed to the reality of her daunting circumstances finally presenting itself. They did not speak as friends, but Maljana did not find herself talking to the brick wall that was a temperamental Ysiel. It was a start.
"What do we do next?" the supposed murderer asked in the evening, seated cross-legged in an armchair by the fireplace. It looked to be a most uncomfortable position, but the same could be said for Ysiel's plight. "Where can we go?"
Maljana had opted for the carpet as her cushion, positioning herself as close to the fire as possible. She would savour all the warmth she could before returning home. "Accepted my offer of help, then?" she said, expecting no answer. None came. "Away from Vestralt City, for a start. Far away."
That would be no easy task. Vestralt was the beating heart of an entire continent, if only a small one. Regular reports were issued by the city and transmitted to every town and village under its jurisdiction, a fact she was quick to convey to Ysiel. "Those locations are numerous, as you will know better than I do," Maljana went on. "If you remain within Vestralt's grasp, you will never be safe. You have to leave the country. Escaping the Hand of Retribution is your first and main aim. If you can do that, the rest will fall into place."
"The Hand . . ." Ysiel shivered in her chair, far too warm for any cold to be responsible. "You spend your entire life hearing about them, seeing the reports of what they do, never once thinking that they would ever come for you."
Maljana had never known that fear. Her home was far beyond Vestral's borders, a haven of decency and peace. They had no need there of glorified executioners. "Rumour has it that they're immortal, inhuman or both. Many people outside of this land do not even believe them to be real. Nor did I until a few nights ago."
Ysiel's gasp was a drum beat in the silence of the room. "You saw them?"
"Two," Maljana confirmed. "I've heard enough of the stories to know them when I see them."
She heard Ysiel lean forward, the cushioned arms of the chair whispering beneath the weight of her arms. "Where was this? What were they doing?"
There was no sense in hiding the truth from her. "Looking for you, I thought," she said, allowing the woman her startled expression without adding her own peering gaze to the mix. "Or, rather, searching for the person they believed responsible for the murders."
Ysiel shifted from the seat to sit beside Maljana, her eyes wide. "I don't understand." It was barely a whisper. More a gasp of words, by Maljana's estimation. "To see them involved in murder investigations is not uncommon, but so soon? Why would they be there, at the scene, when the victims' blood was not even cold?"
Maljana shrugged. Her mother had always traded her a cuff around the ear for every shrug, but some habits are too hard-wired into a person to remove. "My first reaction was surprise. I didn't expect them to exist. My second? To leave. I found you and I left. We left."
"You should have told me." There was nothing but worry driving her words. "If the Hand is involved, we need to leave. Soon. I want to clear my name – I must – but they will execute me the moment they see me. No questions will be asked. There is no mercy for fleeing murderers."
And none for those aiding them, I imagine. Maljana kept the thought to herself. Ysiel had revealed a much friendlier and more likeable side of herself, and she did not want to chase it away by adding to her worries. As she watched the flames eat at the logs, all Maljana could see in her mind were the hooded figures advancing upon the murder scene, their sweeping robes and strange, metallic masks obscuring any hint of individuality. Clad all in black, of course. In this day and age, it is hard to believe that some nations still employ executioners like those.
Finding Ysiel had been the easy part. Anyone who had witnessed a crime but did not commit it themselves tended to wear a certain expression, a look caught somewhere between disdain and concern. Ysiel had leaned more towards the latter, and it had taken the arrival of an entire platoon of officers to convince her that Maljana was, in fact, an ally to be trusted. Escaping the city itself would have been impossible were it not for the citizens' notorious ignorance towards foreigners. Few wanted to look once, let alone a second time, at someone from another nation.
"We can leave in the morning, if you'd like," she told Ysiel. "Bringing home any, er, company is strictly against protocol. In any other case, I'd be long gone already. I can't leave a person to their death."
"And if I had done it?"
Maljana met her gaze. "If I knew the victims, you would have died by my hand. Otherwise, you'd be left to your fate. That is not the case, however, so it is not worth acknowledging."
Ysiel sighed, her face creased by worry. "This is not a debt I will ever be able to repay. Even when I had stable employment, I was not a very affluent person."
Maljana had to laugh at that. To think she wanted monetary compensation was absurd. "Just keep on living," she said. "Don't let my efforts go to waste. That is repayment enough, Ysiel."
"I will do just that." She shuffled away, tucking herself neatly back into the armchair. "Morning, then. Where to?"
"Somewhere far." Maljana had not quite decided yet. "But not too far. The border towns will be under the most scrutiny. One thing is certain: you should try to find some sleep tonight. I am accustomed to the wanderer's life. I doubt the same is true of you."
She went without a fight, voicing no objections as she vacated her seat. Ysiel left the room with her shoulders slumped, walking with a peculiar lethargy that could only be brought on by a team effort from dejection and resignation. Maljana watched her go, not at all free of concern herself, but said nothing. She barely knew the woman, and there was only so far a newcomer could step into someone's life without tracking in mud as well. Sleep would be Ysiel's greatest ally that night.
Maljana tapped the rear of her metal hand, flipping a switch hidden under one of the many hidden panels. Without delay, there was a hiss followed by a crackle, then voices immediately began to spill into the room. The signal receiver had been added by a good friend of hers, a mechanic the likes of which would never be found within Vestralt's borders. Thank you, dear one. Without your invention, I never would have escaped the city. News reports were aired in quick succession, all about the murder and subsequent search. The governing bodies were offering a substantial reward for any information pertaining to the killer's whereabouts. Ah, so even the common people will have an eye out for us now. Fantastic.
Sleep took her eventually. When she awoke, the fire had burned itself out, its plentiful light replaced by the rising sun outside. The radio had continued playing during the night, and now a very eloquent woman was discussing at length the rising cost of food. Shutting it off, Maljana supposed that even Vestralt and its citizens had struggles of their own from time to time. She rose as gracefully as a groggy woman with replacement limbs could, always feeling in the morning a distinct phantom pain. The metal seemed to distance itself from the flesh during sleep; the two had never fully reconciled.
Ysiel could be heard upstairs, hopefully packing her few possessions back into her bag. Maljana would forage whatever she could from the kitchens and do the same. The more they lingered, the greater the risk to them.
Her stay in Vestralt was over. It was time to return home, and she was taking Ysiel with her.

Having problems with your Vacuums ?
I was blowing snow with my Toro Power Curve 1800. I was distracted for a moment and tangled the cord in the blade. The cord is wraped around tight, how can I remove the cord?

Unless you are able to turn the blade backward and pull on the cord at the same time no luck. it may be easier to just cut the cord and install a new one. solution one is best and both require taking the machine apart. start there and hope it works out for you.

This clean and quaint house is very private, with no neighbors adjacent to you, and is located on a 5-acre parcel with its own separate access (driveway).
The house is 1,200 sqft and offers 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, an open floor plan in the living, dining, and kitchen areas, AND an impeccably well-maintained hot tub!!
The large master bedroom has a king-sized bed and its own en suite bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The second bedroom is also quite large and has one full-sized bed and a sturdy, wooden bunk bed with 2 twin beds and lots of storage. There is also a nice, clean futon in the living room that can be used as a bed. The second bathroom is in the hallway with easy access from the rest of the house and the hot tub. There is also a washer and dryer in the hall between the bedrooms.
Both bedrooms have their own TVs and there is a large flat screen TV in the living room. All TVs have satellite service and a DVR. The house is also equipped with DSL/WiFi.
In the private and peaceful backyard there is a clean, multi-jetted hot tub to relax in under the stars. You will probably hear owls at night.
The kitchen is open to the dining area through an open counter/bar area and has 2 bar stools so that you are festive at all times even when in the kitchen. The kitchen is well appointed with a dishwasher, microwave, electric stove and all the other expected amenities.
A propane bbq is located in the front yard so you can barbecue and watch the horseshoe game being played below! Also, this comfortable home has plenty of room by the driveway to park your boat or RV.

We are located only 6 miles from Lopez Lake and 6 miles from Pismo Beach. Lopez Lake has water slides for the kids and fishing and of course boating.
This house will give you no choice but to relax and recuperate.

I am a general contractor and Christina is an archaeologist. We work hard in our careers and know how important it is to find a clean, comfortable place to relax. So we are proud to offer our vacation rental to you. We love living here on the Central Coast and are happy to share our knowledge of the area with you. We are personable and want to make sure you have a great time - we are available anytime to answer your questions!
Richard and Christina purchased this house in 2007
We first discovered this property during a camping trip in the area. I, Richard, have lived almost all of my life in the country at the far western part of the Bay Area. My wife, Christina, has lived most of her life in Pasadena and then moved to San Francisco where we met. We feel that this is one of the best climates in all of California. We saw what we wanted and took the leap that we have never second guessed. We hope you will agree when you visit.
One of the greatest benefits of our area is that there's plenty to enjoy without the hassles of traffic. The Village of Arroyo Grande just 3 miles west of us is a great place to get dinner, stroll around or just have coffee and relax. There is at least one wine tasting room and a wine bar. The ocean, piers and Lake Lopez are also great destinations. Not to mention Avila beach and The Avila hot springs with a well heated swimming pool. Avila also has a farmers market on friday evenings. Great fun with an incredible ocean front. You are also 10 miles from San Luis Obispo with lots to offer including it's farmers market on thursday evenings.
We all enjoyed are time in your home in
Arroyo Grande , loved the hot tub. And view of the stars at night. Plenty of room and very clean thank you for sharing your home
This was a great home for our family to enjoy the central coast beaches, the quaint town of Arroyo Grande and the wine country in this part of California. We'll definitely stay here again when we return.
It was a great pleasure to stay at this property.This house was well furnished with all the ammenites like a delux hotel room.We were very happy to be close to where we attended the wedding function in San Luis Obispo.Speaking To Richard twice and seeing him in person before our departure was very nice with a great smile.I will recommend to anyone who wants to spend vacation in that area.Thanks much.
Nice place, loved the Hot tub!!!!! while the husbands were doing bbq we the wives enjoyed the Hot tub. the kids (12, 4 and 2 years old) loved playing in the Open Living Room while grandmas were talking in the dinning room next to the kids. The house had lots of towels, sheets, laundry detergent and all the condiments in the kitchen for a family to enjoy meals without having to run to the store. It was so nice and warm inside the house that we didn't need to use covers. and Richard (the Owner) was really nice from the booking to running to the house to replace the BBQ gas tank in 5 minutes after I called him!. Very happy with our stay and Will come back! Thank you.
I don't really do reviews, but I just want to say that we all had a great time on our stay here. The house is actually better if you see it in person. We were all surprised and we loved it. We will be coming back here for sure. Owner was great! Thanks Richard!!! Hopefully next time we go there you can take us surfing with you...hahaha
We stayed here with a small group of guys for a weekend. It was great. Peaceful setting and affordable. Richard was easy to work with. We will stay here again. Thanks!
