Joe: HallucinationsMature
Word Count: 1,146
Sometime later Cancer came back into the camp, shaking slightly. His eyes were darting from left to right and his forehead had a slight sheen to it. I knew immediately it was the drugs. I was beginning to get used to it. I stood up to go over and help him when his eyes clapped on the old guy and twisted into something that resembled manic fear.
Other people began to notice him and a few murmurs went round the camp. People were growing uneasy and it wasn't hard to see why; Cancer was pulling his knife out and started towards the man. He was set in determination and it didn't take a genius to figure out what he was going to do.
'Cancer!' I shouted. 'What the hell are you doing?'
He wasn't listening. He was tripping big time.
The man didn't seem to notice what was happening until the last possible moment when it was almost too late.
Cancer brought his knife high above his head and was about to end the man's life when someone grabbed him round the waist and tackled him away. They scrabbled on the ground whilst Cancer managed to reach for his gun and aim it at his assailant's head. The guy backed off with his hands held up.
'Cancer!' I said again.
He turned to face me. 'Get the fuck over here you dumbass!'
'You're hallucinating, there are no threats here. Put your gun down Cancer.'
He looked at me with this intense confusion, like I was speaking another language. He was still waving his gun around and it looked like he really was going to shoot someone. If I didn't do something soon, he'd get shot himself. I could see a couple of the others slowly making their way towards their weapons. Cancer noticed this too though and whirled round, pulling his trigger.
A loud gunshot filled the air and my heart stopped.
The bullet ricocheted from the ground, narrowly missing one of the camp members.
I had never seen him this bad before, he was completely manic and scared. I didn't know how to stop him. If Rayn was here he'd know exactly what to say or what to do and once again I was useless.
He was firing bullets again; people were ducking for shelter and trying to fumble for their own weapons.
'Put your gun down Cancer!' I shouted.
'No, get in the car. Rayn, get in the fucking car, we gotta go!'
My insides seemed to collapse into a tangled heap and my blood ran cold. It wasn't just the zombies that he was hallucinating about; he was imagining that Rayn was still alive. What the fuck was I supposed to do? He was going to break down all over again when he realized that his best friend was dead. This was getting exhausting.
'Rayn's not here, Cancer,' I said a little softer this time.
He ignored me and opened the car door, pulling me in. His gaze trailed over to the back seat, he must have been seeing Rayn get in the car as well.
He leaped into the driver's seat and was about to pull away when we heard the cock of a gun. The old guy had managed to grab onto his weapon and was about to pull the trigger when Cancer beat him to it. Another gunshot rang out and I watched the old guy fall to the ground. For one long, horrifying second I thought he was dead but then he clutched his leg and let out an agonized wail.
Cancer slammed the door shut and tore out of the camp.
'What the fuck are you doing?' I stared at Cancer in horror.
'What d'you wanna be eaten by a bunch of fucking zombies?'
I was getting frustrated and could feel my temper rising. 'There are no zombies! Stop the car!'
'Rayn make him shut up I'm trying to drive,' he growled, his eyes skimmed the rear view mirror and I knew what he was seeing. I resisted the urge to slam my head against the glass in anger and instead a little light bulb seemed to flick on in my mind. It was a horrible, awful thought and I felt like the worst person in the world right then but I saw no other way to stop the god damn car.
'He agrees that you should stop the car.' I forced myself to look at the empty back seat. 'Don't you Rayn?'
Cancer finally pulled the car to a stop and turned round as well. 'The fuck are you playing at?'
'We're out of danger,' I said slowly, trying to force my expression to remain neutral. 'There aren't any zombies neaby.'
Cancer looked at our surroundings and took a deep breath.
'We have to go back and help the person you shot.'
'I didn't shoot a person,' he replied, confusion written across his features. 'I shot a fucking zombie.'
'Oh my god!' I cried out, annoyed all over again. 'For the last time, he wasn't a zombie! He was a human being!' I probably should have been doing more to help Cancer get back to sanity but it was hard work looking after a regular drug user who was grieving and angry at the world all the time. I wanted to go back to the safety we had at the camp, to mingle with other humans. I needed to know if the old guy was alright.
'You're going crazy. This apocalypse is really getting to you.'
Something inside of me shattered and I slapped Cancer round the face. 'Snap out of it!'
I didn't even have time to register what I had done, or the stinging sensation in the palm of my hand. Cancer was blinking at me and, to my relief, looking a little more stable.
'The fuck was that for? Where are we?'
'You're hallucinating big time. Please tell me you're sane again.'
He pinched himself a few times and realization dawned on him. 'Fuck. What did I do?'
'What didn't you do?' I retorted, looking behind us to see if any of the camp members had followed us. 'You shot the old guy in his leg, went on a bit of a rampage and no doubt got us kicked out back onto the road. I don't think they'll let us stay after that.' Almost as an afterthought, I tagged on: 'Are you feeling normal now?'
I didn't miss the crushing anguish that shadowed Cancer's eyes for the briefest second as he looked into the backseat. He was grasping the fact that Rayn wasn't alive after all and it was hitting him hard all over again. 'I'm fine. I'll go back and try not to shoot myself while I apologize to them.'
He steered the car round and drove back the way we had come.

The latest trend in IP-based newsgathering is taking 3G and new 4G wireless data cards from multiple carriers and bonding them to increase the throughput and quality of service.
Several streaming specialists, including Livestream, Streambox and VBrick, have developed such cellular bonding technology and packaged it with an encoder in a complete portable device. These systems are perfectly suited to the new "backpack journalism" model sweeping station groups like Gannett and Hearst, where one-man-band reporters are sent into the field with a handheld camcorder and laptop to shoot, report and edit stories.

So it's just another club in the bag...but don't ever do away with your truck and it's direct connection.

B.C.'s education minister says a review of the Vancouver School Board's books by Ernst and Young shows there's money to be found in the 10,000 empty classroom seats across the city.
Peter Fassbender says the board, which claims it is strapped for cash, can find $750 million in one-time savings, as well as, another $72 million a year.
"There are significant opportunities for the Vancouver School District to ensure that every dollar can be invested in students and not in empty classrooms. The report clearly identified that there could be upwards of 19 schools (affected)."
Avoiding seismic upgrades by shuttering schools instead
He says the $750-million one-time figure would come from avoiding seismic upgrades and maintenance on schools that could be shut down, as well as selling off assets.
For its part, the VSB says Chair Christopher Richardson was given a "high-level" briefing of the report on Monday, but trustees didn't actually get a copy until Tuesday morning.
As for the recommendations, Richardson says he knows they have significant implications for students and families, and it's the board's duty to carefully assess those impacts first.

21:34 22nd February 2011
Wednesday gained a point from their trip to high-flying Bournemouth but perhaps deserved more than a 0-0 draw after an impressive performance at Dean Court.
Gary Megson's men were largely on the front foot throughout the whole of the first period but Bournemouth had the best chance of the match after the break as Michael Symes put his penalty wide.
But the Owls' clean sheet was merited and the much-improved performance will give plenty of encouragement to Megson ahead of Saturday's trip to Carlisle.
Wednesday made a bright start under the floodlights at Dean Court and could have taken the lead inside five minutes.
A Gary Teale cross from the right picked out Chris Sedgwick, who saw his deflected shot fall into the path of Isaiah Osbourne but the later drilled his low effort straight at goalkeeper Schwan Jalal.
Wednesday continued on the front foot and the six changes made by Gary Megson were working well in the early stages. Osbourne had another chance after 15 minutes but his shot from close range was ushered wide for a corner.
The Owls were rarely troubled as the first half unfolded, with the best of Bournemouth's few chances falling to Symes but his tame shot was smothered by Nicky Weaver.
Wednesday, without doubt, looked the hungrier of the two sides and Chris Sedgwick's tricky footwork gave the midfielder an opening to centre from the right which Madine met with a header that was saved by Jalal.
With the first half drawing to a close, the Owls stayed in the ascendancy after limiting Bournemouth to very little in the final third.
Wednesday had one final chance to take the lead before the break with Madine spearheading an Owls counter attack before feeding the ball into Palmer, who was closed out by the Bournemouth defence.
The Owls were quickly out of the blocks for the second half as Madine played a neat through-ball into the path of Palmer who raced towards goal before unleashing a fierce drive that Jalal tipped over the crossbar.
The home side then had a golden chance to take the lead from the penalty spot.
Reda Johnson's challenge on Symes saw the referee award the Cherries a spot kick and it was Symes himself who stepped up to take the penalty, but the striker side-footed wide of Weaver's left hand post.
It was turning into an entertaining league encounter as both sides pressed but just after the hour, Miller was denied by a superb save from Jalal.
The midfielder side-footed on target from Spurr's cross but the Cherries keeper was down quickly to make a smart save from seven yards.
Then came a big moment in the game as Bournemouth rattled the upright on 65 minutes.
Pugh's clever corner picked out Shaun Cooper 25 yards out and the defender's first-time drive came crashing back off the post, as Wednesday were able to clear through Miller.
The Owls continued to threaten Bournemouth and Sedgwick was next to test Jalal on 75 minutes but his low angled shot from inside the 18-yard box was well saved by the keeper.
But 0-0 was how it finished as both sides shared the spoils with a much-improved display from the Owls in front of an impressive away following of almost 800 fans from Sheffield.

ZT and Todd Rexford have teamed up to create the Zero Tolerance 0804CF Todd Rexford Folding Drop Point Knife, based on Todd's custom knife, the Gamma.
The nearly four-inch blade is made of fine-grained CTS-204P, a tough, wear and corrosion resistant steel ready for hard-duty. This powdered metallurgy steel features vanadium-rich carbides for top wear resistance while high chromium helps it resist corrosion. This high-performance blade is tungsten DLC coated. DLC gives the blade an attractive, matte finish as well as enhancing performance by reducing friction and improving hardness. The 0804CF's handle has a carbon-fiber front and a DLC-coated titanium back. These premium materials make the 0804 both tough and lightweight. A titanium frame lock with hardened steel lockbar insert firmly secures the blade during use. The ambidextrous 0804 can be easily opened using the flipper and KVT ball-bearing system.
The 0804CF proudly declares its made-in-the-USA status with a handsome shield-shaped badge on the pivot head. ZT also added a custom aluminum backspacer and machined titanium pocketclip.
The 0804CF, from ZT and Todd Rexford, is a perfect fit when looking for a larger knife built for high performance.
Zero Tolerance—Tough Materials, Tough Tech! Designed and manufactured to stand up to heavy-duty use, Zero Tolerance Knives are built of premium materials such as S30V, ELMAX, or 154CM blade steel and 3-D machined G-10 handle scales. All ZT knives, whether folder or fixed blade, are made to provide the user with maximum strength and versatility. The knives have earned a reputation among their devoted fans for being "built like a tank" or "a real beast" or even being—proudly—"overbuilt." All Zero Tolerance knives are made in the United States of America and are built to conquer just about anything.

Frozen pipes: 'This cold has caught up with us'
Turning on the tap is no longer a guarantee of water, at least for a growing number of homes and businesses across the state.
As frost levels have reached in excess of 7 feet in places, water pipes are freezing. A more typical winter frost depth is about 5 feet.
Brainerd Public Utilities said 124 residences and businesses have dealt with frozen water pipes, with five more added Wednesday.
No water mains have been affected. The heavy snowpack is insulating yards but the pipes running beneath city streets haven't been as lucky. In Brainerd, those affected have been scattered throughout the city.
It's a widespread issue.
"We've been hearing it's pretty crazy," Sjolund said.
Jeff Hulsether, Brainerd city engineer, said there has been a sole instance of a frozen sewer line, something that hasn't happened in at least five years. The city is monitoring a handful of spots that may be more likely to have trouble.
"We are seeing the frost go down deeper than we usually do," Hulsether said. "It's just one of the effects of having a colder than normal winter."
In Staples, city workers put notices on doors primarily along the Northeast Sixth and Northeast Seventh streets warning residents of the danger in their neighborhood. They've been advised to get a thermometer and put it in the running tap water to monitor the temperature. If it's below 35 degrees, they've been advised to run the water continuously with a stream the size of a pencil. Some may have to do that until April or later. Water from the tap is typically about 45 degrees. If it gets to 40 degrees, it may be on a downward spiral.
Nate Mathews, Staples city administrator, has heard of hundreds of frozen water pipes in St. Cloud and Mankato, about 30 in Little Falls and service line issues in Wadena.
"Most cities have issues," Mathews said. "We've got about 20 service lines that are frozen right now."
In Staples, reports of a few frozen lines popped up in early February but most were called in late last week. They noticed a pattern with houses on the west side of the street affected as the water lines are on the east side of the street and the water has to travel under the road to reach the homes. Mathews said the last time Staples had this many frozen service lines was during the winter of 1982.
Staples is helping connect affected home and business owners with plumbers who may be able to use steam or heat up copper lines to thaw the pipes. Otherwise, the winter remedy may be hooking to a neighbor's water supply. During warm months, a city remedy has included a temporary water main above ground. But this year above ground options, with the subzero cold expected to continue, are obviously tricky. Some people may look at going without running water for extended periods. Mathews said they've had instances where steam attempts to thaw the pipes have proven unsuccessful.
In Staples, the city is following a pattern others have adopted by not charging affected residents for the additional water use if they have to keep the water running. Mathews said some cities told residents they should continue that practice until they can swat mosquitoes.
In the cities not giving a pass on the extra water usage, Mathews said it's still a lot cheaper to pay a $1 to $3 a day more than dig up the ground and go without running water for three months.
Mathews said the city's concern will grow if there are a lot of homes or businesses in a particular area affected, thus dropping the total water flow in the area. It means a water main could be in danger of freezing.
For Staples residents affected by frozen pipes, the community center is offering a place to shower and fill up with water.
"This cold has caught up with us, " Mathews said. "I hope it's the end of it, but what we've been hearing it could be worse. ... It's not going away anytime soon, unfortunately."

SESSION TITLE: Miscellaneous Case Report Posters I
SESSION TYPE: Affiliate Case Report Poster
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
INTRODUCTION: Although rare, it should be recognized that certain vaccines can cause serious neurologic immunophenomena such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM).
CASE PRESENTATION: A 83 year old Hispanic female was admitted with 2 days of altered mental status, weakness and fever. She had past medical history of hypertension,ischemic stroke and diabetes . She received inactivated influenza vaccine five days ago. On exam, she was obtunded, febrile with bilateral extensor plantar response and brisk reflexes. Computed tomogram of the head was unremarkable. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed protein of 136 gm/dL, glucose of 108 gm/dL, with lymphocytic pleocytosis (44 cells/microliter). Broad spectrum antibiotics were started for presumed infectious meningoencephalitis. Her mental status declined further and she required mechanical ventilation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine showed diffuse white matter lesions involving periventricular white matter, thalamus, midbrain, dorsal brainstem, cerebellum and medulla oblongata (Figure A). CSF bacterial and fungal cultures, PCR for HSV, VZV, HHV-6, enterovirus, JC and BK viruses; anti-NMDA receptor antibody and flow cytometry for lymphoma were all negative. Serum studies for viral encephalitis, HIV and Quantiferon-TB were also negative. After exclusion of infectious and non-infectious causes, we made the diagnosis of post-vaccination ADEM based on the neurologic picture and MRI findings of extensive white matter changes along with recent influenza vaccination.
DISCUSSION: ADEM is a rare inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with an incidence of 0.4/100,000. Infection is the most common etiology; post-vaccination ADEM accounts for 5% of cases. However, ADEM that occurs after vaccination may not necessarily be attributable to the vaccine and might rather be a temporal association. In our patient, based on World Health Organization causality assessment criteria, post vaccination ADEM was "very likely". Daily methylprednisolone for 3-5 days followed by prednisone taper is the accepted first line therapy. Plasmapheresis is recommended for steroid unresponsive patients. With early treatment initiation, full recovery is seen in 50% to 75% of patients, within 1-6 months. Our patient did not respond to steroids and required plasmapheresis. She showed neurologic recovery with improved MRI (Figure 2) and was discharged to a rehabilitation facility on day 42.
CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians should consider post-vaccination acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in patients with encephalopathy, multifocal neurological findings and recent vaccination after carefully excluding other causes.

Tiger in the neighborhood park
Book by: sajo
Status: Finished
Genre: Action and Adventure
Chapter1 (v.1) - Tiger in the neighborhood park
Tiger in the neighborhood park
Chapter One - IT
It was a bright sunny afternoon, I was riding my Apollo Viking bicycle in the park.
I was approaching half the circle when my mother called out,
"Come on! We're getting late!".
I called back,
"After I finish this round. Ok?".
"Ok, but please do it fast."
She replied. So I kept on pedaling. When I reached half of the circle, I stopped to rearrange my pedals. Just as I finished, I heard,
"What was that?" I thought I looked up, it was my mom and sisters they took off for home. "Maybe they were late for something. But why would they say Run for your lives then?" I thought. Then I thought I heard something grunting behind me. I swung around. Then, I saw IT!
Chapter Two - The Run Back Home
I saw a tiger! I was face to face, shoulder to shoulder, body to body, everything to everything with a TIGER!! I almost felt the fire started in my head and started spreading like a forest fire. I took off for the exit in front of me at warp speed. Unfortunately, the tiger followed me. I was 5 feet far from my home when somehow, the pedal got jammed!
"Oh, come on!"
I said I got off my bike and started running, then a car came from a different direction and distracted the tiger it started running after it. However, I couldn't reach the gate! My mom called out from the kitchen window,
"Come on! Hurry up!"
I finally reached there panting and when I reached there, I looked around. "How very odd" I thought. There wasn't a single guard in sight! Earlier this morning, when I opened my fortune cookie, it said, "Your eyes will deceive you." I gulped. Could that be true? I looked at my bike, the coast was clear I ran back and sat on my bike the peadle was unstuck now. Just then the tiger jumped out of nowhere! I started pedaling as if I were in a race. Just then, the tiger caught my hand!
I screamed and screamed,
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Just then, I was jiggled awake! Then, my sister asked,
"Are you having nightmares? Wake up! It's 9:00!"
I blinked. Was that a dream? Thank god! I couldn't wait to tell my family what a dream I had!
What I told my family
To be continued....

I like it, it's interesting. A little more detail and inner thought would help a little bit. Also, as a tip, whenever a new person speaks, you should have a different paragraph. For example:
"Hello." She said
"Hey what's up?" I answered.
Other than that, I do like it. At first I thought he was really face to face with the tiger until I continued on and it happened to be a dream. I can't wait to read more, let me know when you update!
I like how you ended it. Lol. Nice story.
Hey cool story! I really like that fortune cookie line. Maybe you could end the chapter there. Then add a new chapter expanding on the thoughts after but before you wake up. Can't wait to see more!

"Move it Allie" Renee shouts as the maids run through the closing door. Allie the doorman jumps aside as the girls slip through.
Allie shakes his head and closes the door firmly behind them. Mira and Renee run round the side of the building. "Are you sure we should be spying like this?" Mira asks running with a slight skip and having to hold up the front of her skirt. Only slightly as it reaches just below her knees.
They reach the other servent side door and slip through then find the door that peeks into the palour. As it opens "Rawr!" Danielle jumps through and causes the young maids to scream. Then they all burst out in barrels of laughter.
Mira can see the disaproving looks of Danielle's parents in the palour through the door. Then the amused look of Sir William. Mira blushes and Danielle looks back at the palour. She curtsies politely and the two maids follow her lead. "Excuse me, your highness" She says then gently closes the door.
She turns back to face Mira and Renee and they all squeal. "Quickly. Lets get to my room" Danielle says.
The girls race unladylike through the household and when the reach Danielle's room they all fall onto her bed out of breath.
"So what do you think?" Danielle says looking in turn at both of the girls either side of her.
"Absolute material" Renee comments sitting up. Mira and Danielle sit up as well and they all move to sit in a triangle in the centre of the large bed. "I know that but.... He doesn't seem all that interested in me... In fact Mira I think he saw you" Danielle says smiling at her friend.
"He can't like me. I'm just a maid, lower class" Mira says waving a hand. Renee jumps is saying "stop judging everything and focus on the goal". This causes all the girl to burst out laughing.

Not since the enactment of ERISA has an issue generated as much interest as the Department of Labor's (DOL's) proposed conflict of interest regulations. On April 6, 2016, the DOL announced new regulations that would expand the definition of ERISA fiduciary investment advice and apply a "best interests" standard to a broader range of investment services, including retirement investment advice and certain IRA rollover recommendations.
Throughout the extensive comment period and hearings, multiple stakeholders have weighed in—broker-dealers, investment providers, advisers, members of Congress, plan sponsors and participant advocacy groups—voicing their criticism or support. Thousands of pages of hearing transcripts, written comments to the DOL, and commentary in both industry publications and the mainstream media document the intense debate. The following are important considerations regarding the DOL's conflict of interest regulations and how they could impact business models and relationships.Download

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
ma and this girl went to a hotel to have sex and her parents are saying they are gonna file charges are there charges to file??
This is an extremely tricky situation in regard to having charges filed against you. Technically you are both considered a child under the Texas Family Code but you are considered an adult at 17 under the Texas Penal Code. Having sex, even consensual sex, with a 16 year old can certainly prompt an investigation if a complaint is filed. In Texas, there is an affirmative defense if you are within three years in age to each other (a 19 year old having sex with a 16 year old) but that is a defense.
The best advice I can give you is to contact a local criminal defense attorney to protect you from having to face a criminal investigation and potential charges. The last thing you want on your criminal record is a sexual assault even if you eventually get those charges dropped.Ask a similar question
Technically, charges could be filed on you but, as the other answer stated, there is a defense to the charge in your situation since you are so close in age. The odds of charges actually getting filed are extremely low.Ask a similar question
Obviously, this happens all the time (17 year old and 16 year old having sex). But, legally the 16 year old lacks the ability to consent and therefore charges could be filed. But because they are within 3 years age difference of eachother, they 17 year old boy will have an affirmative defense to any prosecution. Because of this affirmative defense, it is unlikely that the DA's office will file charges in this case. If contacted by a police agency, he should contact an attorney. He should also stop all communication with her and assume her emails and texts are being review by the parents and could end up as evidence. Good Luck.Ask a similar question

Courthouse (Civ1)
this wiki
Back to the list of buildings
A Courthouse is unnecessary under Democracy. A Courthouse cannot be built in the same city as the Palace.
As kingdoms and empires grew, it became increasingly difficult for the ruler to maintain control over the more distant segments of the realm. To insure that the far-flung cities of the empire contributed their expected share to the coffers, local magistrates and courts were established. In the Courthouse the ruler's representatives listened to the grievances of the people and meted out justice. Here the laws that governed social interaction were defined and enforced. The Courthouse reduced crime, and thereby kept the local population productive and content. Unhappy and unproductive citizens were not willing taxpayers.

After a month, the germinated seedlings were transplanted to these
bigger pots, then the small 4 paks were put back outdoors for more
chilling. After a month outdoors, the ungerminated seeds were brought
back in for another month of germination.
Most of the seedlings in the photo have been in these pots about a month
and are ready to be lined out. The pots were half filled with fluffy
slightly weathered horse droppings from my driveway, the other half with
a mixture of potting mix and creek sand.
All were watered with Miracle Gro with trace elements off and on from
the time they were first planted.
The seeds that were planted outdoors are just starting to germinate

Google Page Rank Update: August 2012
Google Page Rank is measured on a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being the highest rank. There are many factors which Google takes into considered to decide a website's PageRank. There will be no particular date when Google updates its PR, but a Page Rank update is usually rolled out in 3-4 months time.
A good PageRank is a sign that your site is being crawled and indexed well (in most cases) by the giant search engine, Google.
Today, on August 2nd 2012, Google has updated the page ranks of several websites including ours. 9to5Blogger, which started on May 29th 2012 has got a Page Rank 2.
The last PR update has happened in May 2012 before the launch of this blog and it is happy that we got a PR of 2.
What Brought 9to5Blogger, a Page Rank of 2?
- The main thing I made sure when starting this blog was to update this blog regularly with useful content and till date, we've written 39 articles which are mainly useful for beginners.
- The next thing was I interlinked all the articles with one or another (wherever appropriate) manually so that it will be easy for the search engine bots to crawl our entire site.
- Made all the category and tag pages noindex, follow so that duplicate copies don't get indexed in search engines.
- Made a guest post on ShoutMeLoud, which is a PR 4 blog. It brought a decent traffic to our blog.
- Last, but the most important task of all was that I commented on several dofollow and nofollow comment enabled websites through which I got traffic as well as link juice.
All the above factors have contributed a lot for the increas in our page rank. Of-course, these are not the only factors that contribute to a good page rank, but are sufficient enough to get a decent PR.
Another interesting thing was that our Alexa Rank is also increasing day by day. Now, it came under 5 lakshs bracket.

Jeffrey Runco To Neighbor: "I'm going To Come In And Chop You Up!"
Pittsburgh, PA (The Weekly Vice) - Jeffrey Runco, a 43-year-old Pittsburgh man was jailed Monday after he threatened to "chop up" a neighbor with a hatchet before attacking police, claiming he was Jesus Christ.
According to Pittsburgh Police, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex on a report of "loud music" when they arrived to find a lunatic who was harassing his neighbors.
Investigators say Runco broke his neighbor's window with a hatchet and yelled "I'm going to (expletive) kill you! I'm going to come in there and chop you up."
Another neighbor stated that Runco left a note for her that stated "It's your fault I relapsed.. I'm going to pay you back," according to the arrest affidavit.
When officers arrived at the scene, Runco refused to open his door. When police kicked in his door and entered the residence, Runco reportedly popped out of a closet attempted to attack the officers.
"He's screaming at five cops, telling them that he is Jesus Christ and where are they going to park the helicopter - because they're going to have to get in through the roof because he's Jesus Christ," stated one neighbor who saw the arrest from his apartment window.
Another neighbor stated that Runco told police he wouldn't be caught until after he finished his bottle of Nikoli Vodka.
Runco was eventually wrestled down, hog tied and carted off to jail on charges of criminal attempt, terroristic threats and criminal mischief.

Tessa Farmer's macabre sculptures are fabricated from dead insects. They really are as gothic as they sound and look like relics from a Victorian curiosity shop. They are so tiny that many have to be viewed through a magnifying glass. These minuscule marvels are part of a multi-venue group show about animals in art, organised by Rosemarie McGoldrick in celebration of the 200 years since the birth of Charles Darwin. Also exhibiting is Suky Best, an animator who recently completed a film for Channel 4 in which people recounted their first memories of the dawn chorus.

Posted by Thomas Husson on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on March 22, 2016
I quite like this provocative sausage dog picture because it forces marketers to think differently about responsive web design (RWD). More often than not, marketers scale content down to fit a smaller screen; because they then claim that they use RWD and have some mobile apps, they think they have checked the mobile box. In fact, RWD was by far the most common tactic that marketers were using or planning to use in 2015: Only 9% of marketers we surveyed are not planning to use it. When fully implemented, RWD can improve the user experience, but more often than not, it's implemented as a quick fix to the problem of multiple screen sizes. It often prevents marketers from thinking about the need to contextualize offerings for different devices. Customers do not necessarily want the same content across all their screens. However, a scarily high percentage of marketers we surveyed — 47% — admit their mobile services are primarily a scaled-down version of their PC services. In short:

When it comes to location-based marketing and proximity-marketing, more often than not, marketers seem fascinated by the beacon technology.
With 82% of shoppers making their actual purchasing decision in-aisle, it's no wonder that vendors are betting on beacons and indoor positioning systems to help marketers interact with consumers in real time.
A year ago, Forrester warned of the hype around beacons. Despite huge interest and numerous successful pilots, we have yet to see very many successful commercial rollouts. This is not so much about the technology (even though battery life and operational deployments raise technology issue), but primarily because reach is limited today and because few marketers can deliver smart contextual messages at scale. They must also define engagement scenarios and automated rules to deliver relevant messages to individual customers.
Location data alone is dumb. Sending someone a coupon to redeem in a nearby store just because they're passing by isn't enough. For ads and messages to be relevant, firms must combine location data with insights like past behaviors, preferences, needs, and situations. It is also likely they will have to combine multiple technologies to reduce the complexity of in-store operational deployments and boost the accuracy of location data.
There are many more opportunities than just pushing marketing messages in real-time. Using location data is more important than just capturing the attention of nearby smartphone owners — it's about powering contextual marketing.
In particular, marketers should fuel contextual marketing with location data to:

Beacons have a great deal of disruptive potential as they bridge the digital and physical worlds. I quite like this quote from Steve Cheney, SVP at Estimote: "Beacons as a platform are really a wedge into 'appifying' the physical world. They give context to a physical space. They are a way of actually extending the network intelligence to the edge again, something that has been missing since the desktop era. Beacons are truly a way of giving your smartphone eyes—place dumb signs around you and let your phone discover and read them."
Beacon technology offers new opportunities for marketers across a wide range of industries and verticals. In particular, they enable marketers to:
Posted by JP Gownder on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on April 17, 2014
The Infrastructure and Operations (I&O) role is changing significantly: I&O pros are increasingly helping to drive business strategies with the technologies they choose and implement. Business leaders tell Forrester that technology is too important to leave to technology managers alone; they are pushing their I&O colleagues to explore the business value associated with the technologies they choose, implement, and manage. I&O pros, in turn, tell us that their jobs are changing. As one I&O pro put it, "I've been an infrastructure manager for 15 years, but only in the past 3 have I been asked to construct a business plan and be part of the business planning team."
Figure: Burberry's Technology-Powered Flagship Store In London
For I&O pros in retail and related verticals like hospitality (or for anyone involved in creating in-person experiences), we've just released a report to help aid this transition. Along with my co-author Michele Pelino, we've just released the report "Infrastructure Will Drive The Retail Store Experiences Of The Future." The report asserts that I&O pros have an important role to play in helping their companies engage shoppers in experiences that will drive loyalty and spending.

Attempt to comfort and save the life of the victim of a werewolf.
It was something that college sophomore Alex Stryker never imagined he'd have to do. Much less believed could come back to haunt him.
Saturday, August 13th, 2011 - Sugar Land, Texas
Moon Phase - Full
"Imagine that. Everyone's gone." Angela said quietly in her growl-laced voice. She hadn't noticed a single human scent since she and her packmate Shane had arrived a few minutes prior; a good sign for them. All the others that were coming from the stable a distance away showcased how much meat variety they had before them.
Crouched in the tall grasses, her limbs and paws ready to move, Angela looked over to Shane. He was looking out at the stable and she could see his nose twitching to rapid whiffs of the scents. Overhead, the moon was shining brightly into the night, giving everything they could see a silver sheen. Even without it, their eyes could easily refract the lights coming from the stable and the nearby school parking lot to let them see around them.
As she asked, Shane gave her a glance. "Should we get the deer or the calf?"
"The calf would feed both of us." Angela said after another sniff.
"So would the deer." Shane said, licking his fangs. "And it's weaker."
"But it's the only one that stable has."
Angela sighed through her nose. "The calf will work."
Shane shrugged and waited for her to start moving. Keeping close to each other as they went, they tried to keep silent amidst the chirping crickets and other insects around them. Every few steps, they could hear a few of them stop chirping, as though they were living alarms in the grass. From their position however, the animals were either asleep or barely noticing the noises.

Gianluca Vialli is one of the world's most celebrated and well recognised
international football stars – player of the year in 1994, former Chelsea
player and manager, and only one of three players to have won the three main
European club competitions.
His physical talent and insight are second to none, and he regularly delivers
that unrivalled quality to Sky Sports in Italy as a pundit. He even allowed
the BBC to borrow his verbal wisdom during their Euro 2012 coverage.
In addition to his ability on the pitch, his managerial talents and commentary
skills, Gianluca has also found time to write a book about the sport, and
now, create a game about it.
Entitled Lords of Football, players are cast as a manager of an upcoming
football club, with the ultimate aim seeing the player collect the European
Cup and finish at the top of the league.
However, this isn't like any other football management simulator you've seen
before. As manager, you have to ensure that players are attending their
training sessions, not allowing their ego to get the best of them, or
succumbing to any form of addiction which could hinder their performance.
The manager will need to ensure his/her team works well together and wants to
play for the club. This requires a healthy balance of training sessions,
learning more about football in lectures, engaging in team talks and
upgrading skills in all areas.
But, players can't be expected to work, work, work, and so Lords of Football
opens up the world beyond the training grounds.
There's a living breathing city just over the river that's just waiting for
players to get involved. This means the manager is not only responsibility
for ensuring his/her players are at peak physical condition, but that they
are not left mentally exhausted and unenthusiastic about the club they're
trying so desperately to build.
"I've always been interested in the psychology behind football' says
Vialli, and with Lords of Football and Geniaware at the helm, he's now able
to give fans and players a look at the other side of the pitch.
"The social aspect of football is very different from the game played on
the pitch. Having been on both sides, I can see the impact it has on players
and club, and was able to offer that insight into the development of Lords
of Football. This game will give players a chance to see some of that."
Within the city, players will be able to exercise their social lives by
hitting the nightclubs, visiting strip clubs and eating at fancy
restaurants. However, caution needs to be exercised as too much of any of
these things can have as much of a negative effect on a player as a
The game obviously presents a unique scenario for the player, and so I asked
Mr Vialli if he felt the off-the-pitch activities of football were different
now compared to what they were back in 1994, when he was at his prime.
He said: "Certainly. Now an unscripted event can become a page one
headline. That was still the case when I was playing, but it is more
widespread than ever. Modern publicity can be viewed in so many different
ways, not just through newspapers and TV but also through the internet. It
can make or break a career."
In Lords of Football, players will skip your training sessions to take photos
with fans, or have a few drinks down at the local bar. Eventually, their
personal life can start to overrule their professional, and it is your duty
to find a balance.
Sometimes, drastic action will need to be taken, and managers will be forced
to put their players into rehab, or discipline them by forcing them to scrub
the team's boots. This will force their ego-rating to drop and eventually
get their mindset back on track, but this also comes at the risk of angering
the player. The duties of a manager are never easy.
It's not all about getting into the player's mindset, though. The football is
just as important, and as a manager, you can take part in the game, creating
tactics on the fly as the game is in progress with a few clicks of the mouse
Bear in mind, however, depending on how much a player has been exhausted in
training, how willing they are to play for you or how good they are at a
particular tactic, will determine how effective their performance is. As
such, the importance of achieving balance within the squad is paramount.
Lords of Football is a huge football-game experiment in a market saturated by
FIFA and PES, something none of us have seen before. However, Vialli has a
good eye and "intends to make the experience as authentic as possible".
Despite his many talents, Mr Vialli doesn't see himself as a technical wizard,
but he definitely likes to keep up with things, and when asked, he was very
aware of what's out there.
"I like to keep up to date with technology, whether it's iPad, Kinect or
anything like that, but I don't allow it to rule my life. The industry is
changing all the time and we need to prepared to move with that.''
And he seems content with Lords of Football.
"I'm happy with the game, and I feel my insight will make it especially
unique. Games need to be different and not doing the same things."
"I'd love to work on future gaming titles as I enjoyed my time with Lords
of Football. We're looking into further updates and possibly a sequel, but
we'll see what happens. I've been working as an advisor on this project for
four years, and it'll be great to see what people think of it."
* Lords of Football will launch later this year on PC.

The government bowed to the inevitable yesterday and accepted that the proposed sale of the Tote would have to be put on hold, in light of the banking crisis and looming recession.
"It is not appropriate to pursue a sale in these market conditions," said the sports minister, Gerry Sutcliffe. "I have therefore decided that the Tote should be retained in public ownership for the medium-term and brought to the market when conditions are likely to deliver value for the tax-payer and racing."
A £320m bid for the Tote from a racing consortium was rejected by the government in March, despite a manifesto commitment by Labour at each of the last two elections to sell the business to racing. The question of whether an open-market sale would proceed has remained unanswered for seven months and yesterday's announcement "has lifted an immense weight from the shoulders of our staff," according to a Tote statement.
Nic Coward, chief executive of the British Horseracing Authority, responded to Sutcliffe's exhortation that the sport now work with the Tote to build up its value. "We see the Tote . . . striking deals in relation to pool operations with racecourses and making the most of opportunities such as international co-mingling of pool betting," he said.
"There are undoubtedly tough times ahead, and certainty in relation to the Tote and its income to racing is what we have been keen to secure."
Coward added that racing's income from other bookmakers was too low, a combative claim ahead of the October 31 deadline for a negotiated settlement of next year's levy. "Our return from betting across the board should be far higher than present levels," he said. "Racing will accept a continuation of the current levy scheme, but that is only to allow the vital reviews announced by the minister for sport to run their full course."

New Bern mayor: "If I become DA, there are going to be major changes"
NEW BERN, CRAVEN COUNTY - New Bern Mayor Lee Bettis told NewsChannel 12 Thursday he might run for the district attorney seat in the 2014 election.
Bettis announced in February he would not run for re-election for New Bern Mayor, but now says he is considering the DA job for Craven, Pamlico and Carteret Counties.
Bettis said current district attorney, Scott Thomas, is wasting taxpayer money by appointing a special attorney to Bettis' DWI case. Thomas said that's because of a conflict of interest, but Bettis disagrees.
"Taxpayers are paying him to come down here for five minute motions and drive back to Raleigh," Bettis said. "I think there's a lot better way of doing the DA's job than the way it's being done now."
Bettis' announcement comes just days after he was arrested by a Grand Jury on child abuse charges. He faces two charges of child abuse from a May DWI charge. Bettis' two stepchildren were in the vehicle with him at the time of the DWI.
When asked if his recent consideration to run for district attorney is related to his current charges, Bettis responded: "Oh God, no. I've been talking about it for a long while."
Scott Thomas, district attorney, declined to comment on the mayor's announcement, but confirmed he plans to run for re-election in 2014.
As for the election, Bettis said nothing is confirmed, but he is not ruling out the possibility of his name on the 2014 ballot.
"If I become DA, there are going to be major changes," Bettis said. "I'm going to go after it like I went after the troubles in New Bern and when I closed down the Housing Authority. Everybody wants a hamburger, but nobody wants to see the cow slaughtered. There's going to be blood splattered."
Bettis said his decision to run for DA relies on the support of his family.

The Catalan giants include the Brazilian defender in their lineup for this evening's Clasico match, as the club makes do without the injured pair of Gerard Pique and Carlos Puyol.
The 25-year-old Spain international picked up an ankle injury against Spartak Moscow on Sept. 19, and despite completing training with the rest of the first team yesterday, was deemed unfit to be involved tonight by Vilanova.
Elsewhere the Catalan team lines up as expected, with Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Busquets and Xavi completing a midfield three and Andres Iniesta and Pedro operating either side of Lionel Messi up front.
Iniesta starts his first match since Sept. 12, after picking up an adductor muscle injury while on international duty nearly a month ago.
While Vilanova has had to shuffle his squad, with Pique, Carlos Puyol, Eric Abidal, Isaac Cuenca and Thiago Alcantara all on the sidelines, Madrid comes into the match with a full set of players at coach Jose Mourinho's disposal.
The debate surrounding who would start out of Mesut Ozil, Luka Modric and Kaka in attacking midfield has been resolved, with Los Blancos' Portuguese trainer opting to play Ozil alongside Angel Di Maria and Cristiano Ronaldo in an attacking three supporting lone striker Karim Benzema.
Marcelo continues at left back for the away side, while Xabi Alonso and Sami Khedira start in defensive midfield in Mourinho's favored 4-2-3-1 formation.
Barcelona (4-3-3): Valdes; Alves, Adriano, Mascherano, Alba; Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas; Iniesta, Messi, Pedro
Subs: Pinto, Montoya, Bartra, Song, Sergi Roberto, Alexis, Villa
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Khedira, Alonso; Ozil, Cristiano, Di Maria, Benzema
Subs: Adan, Coentrao, Kaka, Essien, Albiol, Modric, Higuain

Travel Blogs from Foyers
Edinburgh was an overnight stop-off for us before we head north into the Scottish Highlands. Breakfast on Wednesday morning offered the same food as the other hotels we had stayed in with one exception - Black Pudding. Chris added a piece of Black Pudding to her plate but Bruce decided that it wasn't something he was going to eat.
After breakfast we walked the kilometre to the Hertz Office where we picked up the hire car we ...
Inverness and Loch Ness
Two Days in one! We headed north from Ullapool with the amazing Assynt and Coigach Mountains to our left. They were an assortment of different shaped peaks and I wish we had more time to explore them. We made a right turn onto the A837 which meant this was our furthest point north and we were heading SE toward Inverness. The road, although classed as an A road, for the most part was a single track with ...
The Woman on the Platform
... be left alone!?
The train arrives and we manage to get on only to be confronted, yet again, with the incredible human condition of indifference. Two young lads, about nineteen years old, tanned, handsome, sporting identical work shirts for Scottish Hydro; either side of a four-seater table, both with their feet up, one ear-phone in; just exuding I-don't-give-a-damn-ness. The woman is begging, between little jumps of pain, for them ...
Evening in Foyers
... for a walk and discovered a hiking path across from Foyers House that led down to the Falls of Foyers. The hike was steep but well worth it... the Falls were impressive, dropping several hundred feet to the Loch below. We followed the trail down beyond the falls into "town" which consisted of a small grocery, a bank, and a pub / restaurant. Fortunately, the pub was still open so ...

I don't care because for the first time since we started this adventure, when the wind allows, I can freewheel downhill, and so have a rest, so relieved can't tell you how easy today was.

Those who have or are related to small children should really enjoy this Read and Share DVD Bible Box Set. Most Bible cartoons for kids have the same stories. Usually Noah, maybe the creation story, and throw in a Jesus parable or two. But this DVD Bible Box Set it different!
Take a look at all of the stories and lessons this box set has!
1. The Beginning
1. The Promised Land
So far, I think there is good reason for the customer rating of this cartoon Bible to be 5 star.
"Wonderful way to teach the Bible" December, 2010
"Teaches the Bible in a fun and simple way" August, 2012

The Outcasts
I leaned against the door, pressing my ear against the smooth coldness of it. I heard the voices inside, and this is what they said.
"I don't understand why we still keep the girl. She's only putting us all in danger!"
"She's important to the mission."
"Is the mission so important that we have to put all of our lives in danger?"
"The girl is staying here."
"Jojo isn't going to accept this challenge! She barely shows up to any training sessions!"
"Jo is staying. I'm not letting her leave."
"Alright then. But you're going to have to tell her about her family at some point."
"Her family is dead. There's nothing more to it."
I peeled my face away from the door and stared at it for a couple more seconds. My parents. My brother and sister. They're dead.
And the Inspector thought he was going to keep me in this dungeon once I heard the truth! As if!
I'm leaving this place. And I don't care if I die or not.
