Dendrochirus zebra
|Zebra turkeyfish
|Scientific classification
|D. zebra
|Binomial name
|Dendrochirus zebra
(G. Cuvier, 1829)
Dendrochirus zebra, known commonly as the Zebra turkeyfish or Zebra lionfish among other vernacular names, is a species of marine fish in the family Scorpaenidae.
Zebra turkeyfishes are widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific including the Red Sea.
The zebra turkeyfish is an unusual looking fish with vertical stripes in orange, white and black on the body, and large, banded fan-like pectoral fins that flare out on either side as the fish lies on the seabed. The front dorsal fin is made up of thirteen tall, quill-like spines and the second dorsal fin has ten to eleven soft rays. The anal fin has three spines and about ten soft rays. The second dorsal fin, the anal fin and the rounded caudal fin are transversely banded in black and white. This fish grows to a maximum length of about 25 cm (10 in).[1]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The zebra turkeyfish is native to the Indo-Pacific region from the Red Sea to Indonesia and eastern Australia. It is found in inshore waters down to a depth of about 80 m (262 ft). It is a bottom-dwelling species and is found on coral, pebble, and rock bottoms on reef flats, outer reefs and lagoons and also in caves, sometimes in small groups.[1]
This member of the scorpion fish family has thirteen venomous spines along its back, used to defend itself. These spines are connected with a clear film-like membrane. These fish are slow-moving and peaceful, but can be dangerous. They have a habit of resting in places hidden from light such as under a rock or a piece of coral.[2] All lionfish are immune to each other's venom and all are solitary fish. Despite their obvious advantage, zebra lionfish feed only on small crustaceans, and are in turn preyed upon by groupers.
It reaches a maximum 24 cm and inhabits tropical waters.

Of Farms and Ghosts
The ancient family farm has ghosts.
Not the silly pop-up-and-boo! ghosts of cartoons, nor the common chain-dragging, moaning ones.
The ghosts of the farm are like those old Polaroid photographs, where an image slowly takes blurry form.
My children can't see them, but they're there.
I see them when I ride the ATV down the tangled trail to the deep forest that I used to run happily to, where the fallen stone walls still invite delicious invention.
There, I still see musket-bearing French soldiers gathering berries and storing pelts for the winter. There, I still see brave settlers fending off a fierce Iroquois attack. There, I still see a brave and lonely woodsman hiding from the wrongful law and evil landlords.
They're all still there, waiting for another young boy to share their adventures.
And my father's ghost is still at the old farm. My wife can't see it, but he's right there: over by the stand of cedars behind the pond. He's showing me how to find the rabbit trail; how to fashion the wire into a perfect little loop; how to suspend it at just the right height; how to camouflage the perfect snare.
When I'm brave enough, I go see the other ghost, too. Her.
I steer the four-wheeler through the barren gravelpit, where the two little astronauts are still courageously exploring, and down the long trail to the barn.
It's leaning more and more to the east, an old grey building preparing to finally lie down.
But I can still swing open the large doors I opened every early morning when I had my first job those many years ago. The cows are no longer there; no big, warm beasts shifting restlessly, waiting for feed and milking.
Cows, I suppose, don't have ghosts.
Neither does Old Walter. I never see the ancient farmer who hired me, who hobbled painfully through the chores and milking. Old Walter dragged a useless leg behind him for years, and then finally decided to "let the doctors at 'er."
Ten days he'd be gone, he told his seventy-three year old wife; twelve, at the most.
Her ghost is still here, although my kids can't see it.
Mabel's still exactly where I saw her that first Walter-less morning.
She's still hanging from the old barn's rafter over there; still spinning slowly on the the end of the length of bale rope.

User Inferface crashEdit
- Type "/reloadui" into chat, and it will reload the User Interface.
Dourstone IsleEdit
- Dourstone Isle is a location in Glenumbra, and part of the Fighters Guild questline. However, a location near King's Guard Dolmen is also labeled as such when travelled to.
Blessings of the EightEdit
- The Divine Rod sometimes does not light fires as it is meant to. This issue can be resolved by logging back out to the character selection screen, and logging back in again.
Unearthing the PastEdit
During this quest it is possible that the Staff of Magnus will not load some of the Abominations into Tamriel. If this occurs (i.e. they stay in the pocket of Oblivion - meaning they cannot be killed), this can be remedied by moving away from the area, logging back out to the character option screen, and logging back in again. (Confirmed during last beta test ~Timeoin)
Captain Helane's CabinEdit
This area was unloadable for me for a while during the last beta. However, by logging out (for sleep) and then back in several hours later, it worked again.
The Innkeeper's DaughterEdit
The innkeeper may disappear when needing to speak to him after clearing the bandit camp. This is resolved by moving away, logging out and back in again.
Blacksap's HoldEdit
The portal after almost completing the quest often doesn't work. No known solution yet.
Elden RootEdit
- Occasionally, the quest in Elden Hollow will glitch at the end of the quest, resulting in a "death portal".
Visual glitchesEdit
- Occasionally when fishing, the rod will turn invisible.
- Sometimes, when you enter a building, all of the walls and floors will be invisible, but you can still see all of the furniture and NPCs.
Flame Atronach glitchEdit
- Killing Flame Atronachs in Coldharbour during the first quest will not count towards the killing Flame Atronachs Daedra killing achievement.
Bal FoyenEdit
If the vestige chose to defend Fort Zeren, Centurion Mobareed will mention that Captain Rana fell during the fighting at this location. However, she can still be interacted with after the battle, as can Sergeant Seyne.

Okay here's a new story of mine! PLEASE review and tell me what you think! Here's the summary:
Gabriella and Troy break up after High School. It's now time for Taylor and Chad's wedding and neither of them know that the other is going to be in it. What will happen when they meet up again? And will Troy have to walk Gabi down the aisle?
Gabi sighed as she finished her last lab sheet at the Chemistry Lab she worked at. Yes! She was finished with work for the day and she couldn't be happier. She decided to go home and have a good sleep.
When Gabi got home she flopped down on her bed and fell right asleep dreaming about her life:
Gabriella Montez was 22 and fresh out of college. She recently got a great job for a Chemistry Lab that makes great money.
She thought back to her High School Days. She spent most of her time at East High in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
She still lives in Albuquerque but she only kept in touch with Chad and Taylor from High School. She never kept in touch with any of her other friends like Sharpay, Ryan, Zeke, Jason, or Kelsi. But she especially didn't keep in touch with Troy.
God, Troy. She hadn't had thought about him in years. They went throught the nastiest break-up ever. No one, not even Chad and Taylor, found out what happened. It just happened.
Anyway, she is still single. And she has been since their break-up. She's just wondered if Troy is. Probably not though. He's probably a big basketball star with girls hovering all over him.
Gabi woke up sweating. She couldn't believe she had thought of Troy in all these years.
Troy Bolton had just finished basketball practice. He was the coach of the basketball team in Los Angeles. But he was soon to be transferred to be the coach back in Albuquerque, his home town.
When Troy got home he fell into a deep sleep, thinking about his past:
I was born and raised in Albuquerque. I can't believe I left. I just left.
I left all my friends and family and moved to L.A. The only people I kept in touch with were Chad and Taylor.
Everyday I regret graduation day. Because that's the horrible day when Gabi and I broke up.
Yes. Gabriella Montez. Dark brown hair in curls. She was beautiful, smart, and definitely talented. But I let her go. We went through the break-up EXACTLY the way I didn't want too. But it happened.
Sure I've had some girlfriends here and then. But none of them even compared to Gabi.
Troy woke up the next morning. He had tears in his eyes. He really missed Gabi.
Taylor and Chad were out to dinner. A very special one, I may add. Taylor was dressed up in a teal strapless dress with sparkles. Chad was blown away.
"Uh…wow!" He said in amazement. Taylor laughed at him and said, "We better get going!"
They went to the fanciest restaurant in Albuquerque. It was called Chez Pablo. "Chad…wow" Taylor said in amazement this time. Cha laughed at her.
Once they had ordered what they wanted Chad didn't waste anytime. He grabbed Taylor's hand from across the table and looked her straight in the eye. He started babbling.
"Taylor, these past years, through college, and part of High School, have been amazing. Sure, we had great friends beside us. But no one's a comparison to you." He smiled at Taylor, who had tears in her eyes.
Then all of a sudden Chad got down on one knee. Taylor gasped. Chad smiled at her and said, "Taylor, you are my life and my heart. Will you do me the honor of becoming my bride? Taylor McKessie will you marry me?"
Taylor started crying and laughing at the same time. She nodded her head. "Yes Chad Danforth. I will marry you!" She said while she kissed him.
The whole restaurant was looking at them and cheered when she said yes. Taylor smiled as Chad put her engagement ring on her finger. They kissed one more time before they sat down.
Soon after they started talking about other people. Other people as in Troy and Gabriella.
"What will we do about them Chad? I feel kind of bad that we have been lying to them while we tell them that we haven't kept in touch with the other when we have!" Taylor said.
Chad nodded his head, "Me too. But you know what we should do?" He asked Taylor. She nodded at him to continue.
"We should make them our Maid of Honor and Best Man since we are both an only child!" Chad exclaimed.
Taylor gasped. "Which will mean….they will have to face each other again AND they will also have to walk down the aisle with each other!" Taylor squealed in delight.
Chad smiled at her and he sat back satisfied. They clinked glasses as they both thought,
Mission bring back Troy and Gabriella together is a go.
So please review and tell me if you like it so far! Thanks:-)

Ratings for Dr. Robert A. Nagourney
One of the best oncologists in the Country with a technique for selecting the correct chemotherapy. One of the most caring and knowledgeable physicians. Saved my wife from immediate death and successfully treated her for several years of life that would not have been. I highly recommend Dr. Nagourney. Paul
my cancer was ten years ago at that time ins.did not pay for tumor assay's. it was the best $2500 I ever spent as it saved my life
I can't say enough to thank Dr. Nagourney. Without his cutting edge treatment I wouldn't be here today to tell you my story. Since the minute my husband and I walked into Rational Therapeutics and met Dr. Nagourney and his incredibly friendly staff, my husband and I knew that we had made the right choice. Dr. Nagourney said that he could help me and we were filled with hope! I had a biopsy which was then sent to Rational Therapeutics, the assay testing was done on my tumor for targeted therapy. Since that time, 4 years ago, I've been happy, healthy and am continuing on my cancer free journey!

Sweet Nothings.
John decided to take Denise on a walk. He wrapped his jacket around her as the cold air brisked passed them. He whispered sweet nothings in her ear.
Denise whispered, "You've always known how to make me smile."
"I don't want to see you cry anymore..." John quickly repeated.
They walked in silence for the remainder of the street. They followed the sidewalk until they were at John's parents home again.
John whispered, "Come on baby..."
He said as he walked her inside. John Sr. was sitting in the living room when they entered.
John said, "Yo dad, Denise and I are about to hit the road. It was nice seeing you again."
John Sr., was confused. He responded, "Wait? Wasn't there a dinner tonight between the family to see you guys off?!"
John said, "It was supposed to be, but I decided, that its best if we leave now."
John's dad stammered, "Why son?!"
John continued, "No reason..." He turned to Denise. "Baby, wait here... I gotta grab my bags from upstairs. If you want you can wait in the car."
John Sr. walked over to the kitchen to grabbed Lisa and Carol attention as John ran upstairs. Denise sent a text to her sorority sisters Eve and Drexel explaining what Carol said to her. Lisa and Carol followed John Sr. out of the kitchen and into the living room.
Carol whispered, "Why won't you just let him go?"
Denise ignored her and turned her back towards Carol.
"Don't you dare ignore me?" Carol commanded.
John walked down the stairs, "Mum, speak to me and not her! Why are you upset?"
Carol slapped a smile on her face. John Sr. walked over to the chair and sat down. John dropped his bags at the front door and looked at her. Silence took over the room. John grabbed Denise's hand.
"Mum, pop, and Lisa... I want you to meet Denise. She has been my girlfriend for over a year now. We actually met up here in Boston for a baseball game. (He turned to Denise.) I hit on your best friend, right?
Denise smiled and nodded in agreement. John finished, "After that failed attempt, I noticed I started to like you more. And then I chased you for a while. You never gave me a chance."
Denise giggled and then looked down at the floor as she continued to humble herself infront of his parents.
"We have stayed friends for a while. I moved down to Philly for a better job market after college. And then a year ago, I finally made another move on you, and you gave in.
It has been amazing journey since then. (He turned to his parents.) But it does upset me the words you said to her mum. (Carol tried to interrupt, but John finished.) My girl is very important to me. I wanted you guys to meet my sunshine and what has held my foundation down. Yeah, she's a black woman. But that doesn't define her, just compliments her. (John raised her head, so that she was now eye level with everyone.) She is beautiful and sassy, my favorite type of woman. I made my decision that I'm leaving now. I don't want to hear anything from you, because I want to leave here with a positive memory of you all."

Am I Mad?Mature
"SIRIUS!" He called out.
A yowling sound could be heard from beyond the treeline.
Silas followed the sound and hiked. "SIRIUS!"
He paused… another howl.
Following the sounds, he stumbled upon a small clearing. And there he stood.
The adolescent wolf stood proudly over a dead rabbit. Silas picked it up and pet Sirius and the happy wolf followed after Silas as they returned home together.
"Good boy Sirius. I am proud of you." He hugged his friend and began to skin the poor little rabbit. He always apologized to every animal he ever killed. And now he had to apologize for two. But two is a number that is much more comfortable than one. And Silas finally did not feel alone.
Sirius was finally with family. Silas was finally with a companion.
They loved one another.
They quietly shared the rabbit. Sirius would sometimes wander off to fetch more food, but every night, the pup returned home and slept in the hut with Silas, sometimes on the floor, and on very cold nights, up on the bed.
Not to keep Sirius warm, his coat was thick and the wolf was actually very happy in the snow. But instead, to keep Silas from getting cold, and Silas appreciated it so.
He still spent nights laying under the stars. Except now, Sirius joined him and gazed up with him.
Silas introduced him to all his friends. The homeless man from St Paul, the Bride in Oregon, the people from the phone book, his mother, the kids from the asylum, the nurses, and he introduced her last to Anne.
"Sirius, that star used to have your name. But since you're here, the name had to go somewhere. Now it's yours. That is Anne, my love. Well….used to be."
Sirius was quiet, instead of yowling or yipping, he laid his head down on Silas's stomach and closed his eyes. He reached down and scratched his friend behind the ear and saw what he swore was a smile.
"You're a good friend, Sirius… I love you."
Sirius made a small sound, one that's not easily described. Like a whispered howl.
"I love you too, Silas." He imagined a voice for Sirius.
Was it mad, to give his wolf-friend a voice? Of course, it was, and Silas knew damn well that it was. But it also gave him someone to talk to.
"Sirius, Do you forgive me for taking your mother from you?"
"I miss my mother. I loved her very much… But she would want me to be happy. And you take care of me. Am I sore, about you taking her from me? Sometimes I am. But I know, that you do love me very much, you protected me from that bear, remember? You give me food. Teach me to hunt. My mother and I were abandoned by our pack. We had no home. My mother would have died to give me a home. I guess she did so in the end…"
All of that, Silas translated from a light whimper.
And he shed a tear. "I am sorry…"
"I forgive you, Silas. I do. You are my friend. I love you."
He reached down and held Sirius close, and the young wolf nuzzled his head against Silas's.
"Do you miss your Anne?"
Silas nodded, "Yes…I do. But she, like you, is in a new home. She may be gone, but I am happy for her. Last I saw, she was with a man. And she seemed happy with that man. And I hope she has beautiful children, and a wonderful home. And I hope her husband is a big artist. Opening galleries in Paris."
He sniffed a bit.
"Are you crying?"
"No…Just….Well… A bit, but it's a happy kind of cry. I miss her. But I think of her living a happy life. And it makes me happy… and sad too."
Sirius nudged Silas's side. Gesturing him to his hut.
"Tired are we?" Silas smiled.
He knew Sirius just wanted him to go lie down and be happier in bed, away from the light of Anne's Star.
Or so he thought Sirius would want.
"Am I mad?" Silas asked as he rested his head on a pillow made of furs and his old clothes.
Sirius laid down across his belly. "Very."
He mustered a laugh before whispering before sleep.
"Sleep little angel."

How impressive is the tallest tree,
the brightest star,
the largest sand dune?
World, you are fascinating.
Continue to provoke my imagination:
the wind that whips about my face,
your fire which rages in my heart,
the land to which my soul is anchored,
the waters that enable my life.
I marvel at you, Mighty World.

Hair growth after hair transplant?
Is it possible that some of transplanted hairs stays at certain length (3 millimeters) or so after 10 months, not knowing if they ever had fallen out. Thanks.
Doctor Answers 3
This can happen but it is rare. You should go inf or a follow up to have your doctor look at it and make sure.
If your hair does not grow past 3mm then it may be the old transplanted hair that never shed (or came out).
If your hair does not grow past 3mm then it may be the old transplanted hair that never shed (or came out). Follow up with your doctor.
Web reference: https://newhair.com
Hairs that remains
Some of the transplanted hairs might remain in their grafted position. At 10 months, they should wash out, but it you take a forceps and pull on it, it will come out with no pressure/ These little hairs never grow as they are remnants of the old hairs.

Chapter 14: The Gambler's Route
The clan would reach its destination tomorrow, and there was still no sign of Kirana. As she often did these past weeks, Svara felt responsible and helpless to fix anything. She supposed that's why she was here, instead of sleeping like the rest of her adoptive family.
They assured her it somehow wasn't her fault that she lead a troup of Breathers to their camp and embroiled them in her private war. It was only coincidence that a so-called 'enforcer' appeared on the very same night those Breathers attacked the clan, and if Svara hadn't killed the beast and provoked the Curator's attack, somebody else in the family was bound to do it in her place.
According to them, there was no meaning behind the fact that she'd been the last to see Kirana, that nobody would have been able to stop her or get her to say why she needed to go into the Dawnless Woods after the battle.
This wasn't what she had in mind when she joined the clan. Were her ambitions just naive delusions? Svara wanted to contribute, to bring something to these people that wouldn't normally be available. What they got was just a liability.
"It's diff'rent out here," Cascata had scolded her. "When things're bad, they're worse. But when they're good, they're the best you'll find anywhere. They ain't great right now, Svara, but it's got nothin' to do with you. Don' be so dramatic! The woods were mean long before you came here."
The lecture was a continuing comfort, but it wasn't enough to get Svara to sleep. So she Breathed, ran far ahead and behind the caravan. That's how she'd come here, memorized the layout of their destination even before she was introduced to its famed residents. She had no idea what kind of oddballs would build such a large home that was still so classically cottage, but it did make for a charming homestead.
It was built on fertile soil, and the residents ran a wonderful farm and orchard. There was far more produce than the two people living there could ever grow on their own, and certainly more than they could use. Svara was no longer mystified by the clan's surplus of fruits and vegetables.
As big as it was, it never took a Breather long; she'd already scouted the clan's campsite, too, a large stretch stretch of hilly field with a very defensible and long ridge between it and the woods. The woods were still a good distance away, too. She could only see their constant cloud cover on the horizon. The Elder had been wise to skip the site between this one and their last. If the attacks began again, their chances were much better here.
With their destination scouted, the only practical chore she had left was to patrol the forest's edge. The enemy had shown a tendency for attacking from the west, and while they may have killed the commander responsible for that strategy, the warriors still agreed the enemy would emerge from the woods from somewhere ahead of the caravan. Svara would keep her patrol centered around the homestead.
Word spread quickly about Trent and the others meeting with the Curator. A few claimed Trent was a genius for walking into enemy lines, but most - Svara included - considered it madness. Perhaps her perspective was skewed, because Trent couldn't be educated on subjects like morale or hostages and therefore his calculations would be different. Still, no normal human would look at those monsters and think it was reasonable to assume they would not harm him. Even if their stated purpose was limited to a few specific targets, the natural reaction should be to keep a safe distance.
Common sense proved faulty, and that worried Svara. Trent was granted safe passage to their leader, safe passage back, and then permitted to return to their leader with his friends. No sensible general would do such a thing, so how had Trent concluded this one would have such a whimsy? If logic worked differently out here, then what good was her schooling?
There had to be a way to reconcile this wild math with her civilized schooling. The whole world had been wild once, so there should still be some wild wisdom buried in her Breather's training. If she could find it, maybe then she could redeem herself for all the trouble she'd caused.
Her patrol brought her to a very old road, overgrown but still discernable from the surrounding field. It must have been a trade route between Midway and the West before the Dawnless Woods had sprouted. It made for a good landmark, so Svara decided it would be the northern edge of her patrol. She turned around.
Maybe Cascata and the Elder were being honest. Maybe all this trouble was just an unlucky string, and Svara had actually come along when the clan needed her most. It seemed too good to be true, but it was still a comforting prospect.
Whatever the case, she doubted all this brooding was the path to becoming useful. She wanted to be useful, but she also couldn't do everything. Maybe she'd just been overstepping her bounds a bit. She'd focus on what she was good at and hope it would yield some results soon.
The wind was blowing into the woods; it didn't often blow out, and if it did, the angle was shallow. The wind may be her favorite sense, but she'd need to keep the others sharp when it wasn't favorable.
The hunters could stalk prey in total darkness, and Svara had been assured their noses weren't what helped them do it. They'd learned to hear and feel the things sight was better for, and they also claimed Svara could learn. It was an exciting promise, even if learning the skill meant venturing into those woods again. She knew firsthand how terrifying the place really was, but she also knew how powerful its survivors were.
Whether or not they kept her on the current warrior path, those hunter traits would make her more potent. With all the clan's recent losses, she found it more likely they'd change her mind and begin teaching her to hunt as well.
She hoped so. Didn't she? Cascata and her hunters were all so incredible, she'd give almost anything to be like them. There was no such transaction though, no guarantee she had that sort of potential. She might give everything she'd ever had and still not reach that peak. If all that waited at the end of such a terrifying road was failure, maybe it was better to never travel it.
Life is such a gamble. I wish I knew a surefire way to win it.
She'd been going South for a while. It was probably time to find a good landmark and patrol back towards the road. Nothing looked suitable, particularly in the dark. She drew her scimitar and mutilated enough flora to be sure she'd recognize the spot on her return trip. Then she headed back north.
A guarantee wasn't something a clanswoman should waste her time pining over. They were a hardy people, used to doing the best they could with what they had. More importantly, they showed such wonderful grace when the dice didn't roll in their favor.
If she wanted their powers, she'd better learn to embrace that grace. Huh; I woulda thought a Breather should the one to teach these guys on that subject.
The idea that bad things could happen - no matter how good she was or how hard she tried - was more liberating than she expected. The stakes were high enough, so why should she have to bet her pride, too? She'd do the best she could, and Dahlia and the matron and everyone else would still call her 'family.'
Svara skidded to a stop. There were traces on the wind. She took a deep Breath and focused on what they told her.
Two living things, one certainly too big to be human. Outside the woods, heading west. Scouts? Advanced troops preparing another ambush? Stragglers for one that's about to happen? Her heart clenched at the thought, but another Breath told her of their speed. They weren't in a hurry. Were they just wild beasts?
The monsters' methods were inscrutable. She'd get a closer look, and be very careful in the process.
The grass blurred around her as she streaked straight west, looking for a good place to survey her targets without being seen. Maybe these were just roaming animals, but if they weren't she was glad for her insomnia.
She found a suitable hill when she was just a short distance ahead of her targets. Once at the base, she lay prone and crawled arm-over-arm up the slope. She couldn't help feeling a little undignified slithering like this. Breathers were meant to skim the ground as they raced over it, not awkwardly embrace it like a snail.
She finally reached the top and parted the weeds to peer down on the road; she hadn't realized she'd come this far north. There wasn't any movement, but her frame of vision was limited by how low she was to the ground and the amount of brush surrounding her.
The wind did not lie. Svara waited, and before long, a man leading a lizard-drawn cart came into view. She recognized the feathers and wondered if this was one of Bo's cousins. They ambled along the road away from the woods. The cart was full of random household objects. A merchant and his wares? Seeing such an innocuous sight out here felt really remarkable for some reason. At least the clan was safe.
Wait. This decrepit road, this close to the woods, walking west? Did they come out of the woods?
Svara hadn't spent long in the East or South, but she knew they more-or-less shared the North's aversion to the Dawnless Woods. There wouldn't be so much turmoil in the clockwork nations if people still traveled through Midway. Was this merchant insane, or was this some kind of trick?
The man ordered his lizard to make an abrupt stop. He scanned his surrounding warily, squinting in the moonlight like it would help him see better. Had he detected her somehow? She was way too far for him to hear her; she couldn't even hear the beast or the cart. The only way he could detect a trained assassin with her abilities was by elemental means.
While he might still be a merchant, he was no ordinary merchant. Was he dangerous? A more relevant question: was he dangerous to the clan? If not, maybe Svara should just let him pass.
The merchant turned to unhitch his lizard, revealing an enormous crossbow on his back. He kept scanning his surroundings as he worked, obviously agitated.
What was his art? Not likely to involve the wind, as Svara only detected him because she was downwind. Nobody ever really taught her how the elements could be used, not in any meaningful detail. If he was scared, though, maybe he wasn't confident in combat, and she doubted it would even come to that. The poor man was probably still on edge after his ordeal in the woods, and it was wise to be wary this close to them. She'd probably be a welcome sight.
There was always the chance that he was something else, though, something dangerous. To approach was to gamble. Was she ready to bet that she could defeat or outrun him?
She knew what the matron would tell her to do. She also knew Dahlia would do the opposite. And while the matron would tell me not to risk it, there's no way she wouldn't investigate.
Svara climbed to her feet and raised her arms high. She took a deep breath and bellowed as loud as she could. "Hail!"
The merchant whirled around, shielding his eyes as if it would help. Svara chuckled and shouted again.
"Hail! I mean you no harm, may I come down?"
The merchant exhaled; Svara thought it looked like a sigh of relief. He raised his arms in greeting, then made an exaggerated beckoning motion. He turned back to his lizard and began to retie all the knots he'd just undone.
Svara took a deep breath and ran down the hill. "I mean you no harm, sir," she called when she came close enough. "and I'm sorry if I startled you. I just came across you on patrol and didn't know if you were, well, human."
"Quite alright, young lady," he grunted as he pulled one last knot tight. "I started feelin' a little paranoid there. This close to the Dawnless Woods, ya never know what to expect when your mule starts sniffin' the air, am I right?"
Yeah, right. You noticed me long before the big guy ever did. Calling him on his lie wouldn't do any good. In fact, it would betray her own secrets. It's not like she blamed him, either. If she was allowed to protect her art, then he was allowed his.
"Spoken like a man who knows his way around the forest. I didn't think many merchants dared use the old routes anymore. I hope such a steep risk gives you just as much advantage at market!"
"Oh, no, I'm no merchant m'lady. Although…" he laughed and put his hands on his hips. "I guess maybe I am! I'm a treasure hunter, you see."
Svara cocked her head to one side. Why'd he look so proud of that? Maybe it sounded like a more prestigious title in other cultures? "Oh? Is there treasure in the woods?"
"Oh my, yes! There always is when risk is involved, isn't there? Midway was a prosperous place, you see, and a lot of wealthy people left a lot behind when they… departed. It's not doing the current residents any good, so I figure there's no harm in putting these items back into circulation."
"No, I don't see any harm in that," Svara inspected the goods in his cart. Some were made of fine materials, but others didn't seem very special. 'Always treasure when risk is involved;' maybe mundane items became more valuable when mystery and tragedy were attached?
"You said you were on patrol. Aren't you a little young to be a soldier?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Probably," she shrugged. "I'm watching out for my family. We've had some rough incidents with those 'residents' you mentioned earlier in the last couple of weeks-"
"You live out here?" The treasure hunter narrowed his eyes. "That must be a recent occurrence. I've only ever known two people to live out here, and you aren't one of them."
"You must not come all that often then," Svara challenged. "We call the whole western edge of this forest our home. We may not always be in this area, but it's still part of our home." Two people… "You know the residents of this cottage up here? The mother and son?"
"Oh, so you do know them," the suspicion left his eyes. "Not particularly well. It's been a few years, but they usually offer me their security. I, uh, was hoping they were still around and still hospitable. Forgive a guy for intruding, but sometimes he can really use a safe place to sleep, am I right?"
"Sure, seems polite enough to ask. We're actually on our way to see them too. Would you like to come to our camp?"
His eyes lit up. "May I? Young lady, I'd be in your debt. It's been a long opportunity, you see. Fruitful, but a little disappointing compared to what could have been. Alas, I'm prattling. Are you certain about that offer, young lady?"
"Sure," Svara shrugged. The Elder might want to have a chat with this guy. "It's about as far North as they are South. Your cart gonna have any trouble with that?"
"No, the plains are barely any worse than this road. We'll get there!"
With a bit of cajoling, the stranger got his cart turned in the right direction. At one point, Svara thought the treasure hunter was going to lose an arm to his grumpy lizard, but soon they were off.
"Ah, ya can't know I relieved I feel!" he exclaimed. Svara rolled her eyes; the clan had sheltered her from more than just imaginary threats when she was exhausted. She expected she knew his relief pretty well. "I may have been pushing my luck more than ever on this excursion. I thought I was dead for sure, more than once! I came so close to the motherlode, you wouldn't believe it. Next time. If there ever is a next time, I won't fail!"
"What, ya looking for something specific?" Svara asked casually. She didn't much care; the clan couldn't make much use of treasure, unless an item had a practical use. They had a long walk ahead of them, so some idle chatter couldn't hurt. Even if it did amount to empty boasting.
"Yes! Well, sort of. I don't know what's in there, but I know it's gotta be good!"
"Yeah?" Svara feigned interest. "Find a nice building, like a mansion or something?"
"Better! But here's the strange part: I don't really know what you call it! It's shaped like a building, see, but it's more like it's carved out of marble. Only marble doesn't jut out of the ground like this. It isn't like you find pillars of it just sittin' there so you can carve a house out of it, am I right?"
"So what is it?" Svara felt just a little annoyed that his description caught her interest.
"Well, I've been to all four nations over and over, right? And all of 'em have their magic scholars. You know, sorcerers and such. They say a gifted earth magician erected it from underground and shaped it to his liking! It's a wizard's stronghole, young lady! Knowledge or fortune or ones-of-their-kinds, magicians are known hoarders, am I right? And Midway was known to have the craziest most talented sorcerers of them all!"
More like the craziest magicians fled there when they did something to get exiled from their own lands. And what's with all this "Am I right?" Are ya really asking, or does that mean something else where you're from?
Svara wondered why she was so grumpy. Was she disappointed that she hadn't found actual danger? "That does sound like quite a find. So you've heard of this place, or you know where it is?"
"I've been there, now. All around it, even came right up to the front door! That's closer than I've ever been, see, 'cause the guards were away-"
"Wait, guards?" Now he really had Svara's attention. What would denizens of the woods be guarding? "Like, monster guards?"
"What other kind would there, am I right?" He laughed. "In all my years of checkin' of watchin' that place, I'd never seen the guards away. All I knew is they went west! Somethin' must have happened, so I came to see what had their attention and how long things were gonna be this way..."
Svara's mind raced. We won the battle by killing the leader. There was a leader above him. There were guards, they're gone, they went west - this way!- but left their charge unguarded. Well, at least less guarded, who knows what's inside? Well… I might!
If it worked in the battle, couldn't it work for the whole war?
"I'm glad I found you, stranger. What's your name?"
"Maita Bolon, ma'am, at your service! You're glad, you say? You wanna buy somethin'?"
"Nah," Svara shook her head and smiled. He had his secrets, and he hid them behind an irritating front, but… "But I think we might be able to help each other."

Northwestern University, Chicago, IL
The COPD Population Screener (COPD-PS) is a brief (5-item), self-reported and scored questionnaire that focuses on five domains known to predict airflow obstruction indicative of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): breathlessness, productive cough, activity level, smoking history, age. The COPD-PS was developed and validated to identify people likely to have COPD in the general population. A total score >5 (out of a possible 10), indicates that breathing problems may be caused by COPD. The objective of this study was to assess the equivalence of web- versus paper-administration and obtain descriptive data in important subgroups.
A two-arm randomized study of internet versus paper was planned with ∼1,000 adults at least 35 years of age enrolled using an online panel survey organization. All participants completed a set of sociodemographic/clinical questions, the COPD-PS, the Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnea Scale, and a brief feasibility/acceptability survey. In order to have a large enough sample to evaluate the COPD-PS in subgroups defined by gender, smoking status and disease diagnoses, an additional ∼3,000 participants were recruited to participate in web-administration.
A total of 1,006 adults completed the randomized study (N=504 online, N=502 by mail). Forty-seven percent were male and the mean age (SD) was 55.0 years (11.4). There were more smokers in the web-administration arm (29%) compared to the paper-administration arm (20%; p = 0.001). There were no differences between the arms in mean COPD-PS scores (mean difference: 0.12; 95% CI: −0.14-+0.37; p=0.095). In the paper-administration arm, 101/502 (20.1%) exceeded the screening cut-off compared to 106/504 (21.0%) in the web arm (difference in proportions: 0.9%; 95% CI: −4.1%-+5.9%; p=0.720). Subgroup analyses on a separate cohort of 3,001 adults are presented in the Table.
The web-based administration of the COPD-PS performed in an equivalent manner to the paper-administered version and demonstrated sensitivity in identifying sub-groups expected to score higher on the screener.
Both paper and internet are acceptable methods for administration of the COPD-PS for screening in the general population.

Jamie Vardy look-alike Lee Chapman couldn't believe it.
He was actually inside Leicester City's Premier League title celebrations - and there standing in the middle of the team bus was his idol, Vardy.
The 29-year-old's dream came true when he got to embrace his slightly more famous doppelganger after being hauled onto the Leicester team bus by manager Claudio Ranieri as it made its way towards a huge crowd gathered at the club's King Power Stadium.
Leicester's EPL triumph has been labelled the greatest underdog story in professional sport and the celebrations of players and fans turned to pandemonium when the team bus arrived at the club's home ground for a special team lunch.
Chapman, a Leicestershire postman, finished work early following news the team would gather at King Power Stadium and donned himself in his full Vardy look-alike kit because of a scheduled television interview he'd organised to do out the front of the club's home ground.
His convincing Vardy impression clearly impressed Vardy and his teammates.
Leicester players were banging on the windows of the coach and called out to him as the bus drove past.
Then Ranieri called the bus to a halt and hauled Chapman onto the Vardy party bus.
This is the moment a Jamie Vardy lookalike was picked up by the Leicester City team bus for a celebratory lunch https://t.co/Z2F4uvCLU1— Sky News (@SkyNews) 3 May 2016
"All of a sudden, the coach pulls up behind me and all the players and staff are banging on the windows, the door opens and Ranieri is dragging me on," he told the BBC.
"Ranieri and the other players pushed me to the back where Jamie Vardy was and were all shouting and cheering. They obviously knew who I was. It was crazy."
He told Sky News in the United Kingdom he lost his cool upon seeing his heroes in celebration mode and "blurred some of it out".
Our correspondent @SkyEnda meets @vardy7 lookalike Lee Chapman who was invited onto the @LCFC bus earlier today https://t.co/0xezCXnjue— Sky News (@SkyNews) 3 May 2016
Then it all went wrong.
As Chapman made his way towards his look-alike, heart beating a thousand times a minute, Vardy couldn't help but crack a joke for his teammates - and Chapman was the target.

Before getting a chance to take a picture with Leicester's top goal-scorer this season, Vardy quipped: "You're an absolute full-kit wanker".
Fortunately, being ripped by his idol in front of his football heroes, appears to be one of the moments Chapman blurred out.
He also got the loudest cheer of the day when Vardy organised for him to be the first player to step off the bus and meet the crowd of fans waiting to receive them at the stadium.
The fans, too, were convinced Chapman was Vardy.
That's exactly what the look-alike wants.
Chapman is now using his 15 minutes of fame to try and secure a role in the production of a film based around Vardy's life story.
Perhaps a stunt double?
Exactly like Vardy, Chapman says he is 29 years old, weighs 76kg and is 1.78m tall.
"I would love that role, purely because the movie needs a pinch of Leicester and I'm Leicester born and Leicester bred," he told Sky News.
"I'm a season ticket-holder and what's better than having a Leicester fan actually play Vardy?"
When asked by a reporter if he can act, Chapman responded: "I'll try".
Until then the Vardy party rolls on.
It began at Vardy's home when Leicester teammates gathered to watch Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge - the result that secured Leicester the title.
Even though the Foxes still have two matches remaining this season, the celebrations continue.

Featured Client Review
I was rear-ended in Colorado Springs back in 2009. I hired McCormick and Murphy and they filed a lawsuit on my behalf. Eventually the insurance company settled my case for $65,000.00. I thought McCormick and Murphy did a great job for me, and I was very pleased with them.
Personal Injury FAQ
We know you have numerous questions running through your mind; about your insurance coverage, your ability to get back to work, the possibility of being compensated for lost income, property, or even mental distress. Below, we have done our best to address some of the most important questions to ask in the time following a personal injury.
Watch more video FAQs
Personal Injury Info
Personal injury, in legal terms, refers to an injury to the body, mind, or emotions, as opposed to injury or damage to property. In the standard personal injury claim, the injured person or, the plaintiff, will file suit against the negligent party, whose negligence caused the accident which caused the injury. Damages in personal injury cases include, but are not limited to, emotional distress and physical injury.
Colorado Statute of Limitations (SOL)
It is important to understand what kind of claim you have so that you can be sure to avoid losing the ability to bring about said claim once the statute of limitations expire. The statute of limitations refers to the amount of time you have to file suit. This is one of the reasons why it is important to consult an attorney as soon as you are able following your accident.
In Colorado, the SOLs for some of the most common forms of lawsuits are as follows:
- Personal Injury involving a motor vehicle – 3 years, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101(1)(n)
- Personal Injury – 2 years, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102(1)(i)
- Product Liability – 2 years, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102(1)(b)
- Property Damage involving a motor vehicle – 3 years, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101(1)(n)
- Property Damage – 2 years, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102(1)(i)
Proving Liability in Personal Injury Cases
In Colorado, the burden of proof in personal injury cases falls on the shoulders of the victim. It is important to understand that with most personal injury cases, the goal of the insurance companies who represent the negligent parties is to settle for the smallest possible amount. In order to accomplish this goal, beware of the following tactics:
- Hassling you for statements regarding the accident. Remember that it is in your best interest to withhold from commenting on your accident until you have consulted an attorney.
- Attempting to have you settle quickly. The faster the insurance companies can settle your claim, the less they are likely to pay out. This is because the true costs of any given personal injury case may not become clear until months after the accident. This is another good reason to consult an attorney as soon as you are able.
- Asking misleading or manipulative questions. Because they want to settle for less, it is in the best interest of the insurance company to frame questions in a manner which weakens your case.
It is the job of your personal injury attorney to prove that the negligence of another is what caused your injury, and that those injuries require compensation from the responsible party. This is why it is critical that your attorney has a reputation for taking cases to trial to secure the full value of your case.
A lawyer who is satisfied with simply settling, is one who will normally leave money on the table; money you need to get your life back.

Immediate Postpartum Insertion of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception
Nearly 1 in 5 teen births are repeat births, about 183 a day.
Many repeat births could be prevented through postpartum use of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) such as IUDs and implants. Counseling women during prenatal visits about postpartum contraception, and offering women LARC in the hospital after delivery makes it easier for women to avoid unintended pregnancy.
South Carolina's Medicaid* [PDF - 27KB] program reimburses for LARC insertion in the hospital before women who have just given birth leave the hospital.
Learn more about South Carolina's Medicaid Health Initiatives.
*NOTE: The South Carolina Medicaid Bulletin Long Acting Birth Control Device Provided in a Hospital Setting also describes billing procedures for Essure (A4264), a form of permanent sterilization. Permanent sterilization can only be provided if the client has signed a consent form at least 30 days before the procedure is performed.

They are somewhat similar to thin client devices. But thin clients access applications and data centrally stored and managed on a server. Blade PCs operate as separate, individual clients that are mounted in a rack, but have failover capabilities to other blades in the rack and can be monitored as a whole.
Sources said HP's product was expected to have characteristics of both blade PCs and thin clients.

What is life? (Cont.) After many years of studying living things, from the mold on your old tuna sandwich to monkeys in the rainforest, biologists have determined that all living things do share some things in common: 1) Living things need to take in energy 2) Living things get rid of waste 3) Living things grow and develop 4) Living things respond to their environment 5) Living things reproduce and pass their traits onto their offspring 6) Over time, living things evolve (change slowly) in response to their environment ALIFE What is Artificial Life? Known as Artificial life/Alife/AL Is a field of study and an associated art form Examine systems related to life, its processes, and its evolution through simulations Uses computer models, robotics, and biochemistry. Another definition Artificial Life is devoted to a new discipline that investigates the scientific, engineering, philosophical, and social issues involved in our rapidly increasing technological ability to synthesize life-like behaviors from scratch in computers, machines, molecules, and other alternative media. Types of ALIFE There are three main kinds of alife, named for their approaches: soft, from software; hard, from hardware; and wet, from biochemistry. Artificial life imitates traditional biology by trying to recreate biological phenomena. The term "artificial life" is often used to specifically refer to soft alife. Do you know of any computer program which resembles a living organism? ALife, what about it? Categories of AL and example Program-based Module-based Parameter-based Neural net–based Organizations Program-based Contain organisms with a complex DNA language. This language is more often in the form of a computer program than actual biological DNA. Assembly derivatives are the most common languages used. Darwinbots Is an open source, freeware artificial life simulator Originally developed by Carlo Comis Provides a virtual environment in which a number of digital organisms -called "bots" interact, fight for resources, and eventually reproduce and evolve http://digilander.libero.it/darwinbots/interface.html Module-based Individual modules are added to a creature. The modules modify the creature's behaviors and characteristics: Directly, by hard coding into the simulation (leg type A increases speed and metabolism) Indirectly, through the emergent interactions between a creature's modules (leg type A moves up and down with a frequency of X, which interacts with other legs to create motion). These are simulators which emphasize user creation and accessibility over mutation and evolution TechnoSphere TechnoSphere is a 3D model world inhabited by artificial lifeforms created by WWW users. There are thousands of creatures in the world all competing to survive. They eat, fight, mate and create offspring which evolve and adapt to their environment. TechnoSphere When you make a creature it will email you to let you know what it has been getting up to in its world. Using the creature tools you can find out how your creature is surviving, what it is doing at any time, and where it is in the terrain. http://www.technosphere.game-host.org/ Parameter-based Organisms are generally constructed with predefined and fixed behaviors The behaviors are controlled by various parameters that mutate Each organism contains a collection of numbers or other finite parameters Each parameter controls one or several aspects of an organism in a well-defined way Gardens of Kyresoo Kyresoo flowers grow from the division of individual cells Each cell operates independently according to the instructions embedded in its genetic code. Cell size, shape, color, interaction with neighboring cells and the environment, all are controlled by expressed proteins. The resulting shape of the plant is purely an "emergent" property of the behavior of individual cells. Neural net–based Creatures learn and grow using neural nets or a close derivative Emphasis is more on learning than on natural selection Noble Ape Features a number of autonomous simulation components including: landscape simulation biological simulation weather simulation sentient creature (Noble Ape) simulation simple intelligent-agent scripting language (ApeScript). http://www.nobleape.com/ ALIFE Organizations International Society for Artificial Life ISAL was established in May of 2001 as a non-profit organization and currently is based at Reed College. ISAL is a democratic, international, professional society dedicated to promoting scientific research and education relating to artificial life, including sponsoring conferences, publishing scientific journals and newsletters, and maintaining web sites related to artificial life. Artificial Life (published by MIT Press) is the official journal of ISAL, and the biannual International Conference on Artificial Life is the official scientific gathering of the Society. http://www.alife.org/ BIOTA Biota.org promotes and assists the engineering of complete, biologicallyinspired, synthetic ecosystems and organisms.

Four of the five rings are sterling silver and beautifully complement the silver face of the watch. The thin brass rope seamlessly introduces a gold-tone… because, who doesn't need a bit of gold on their wrist? Oh, and before we forget, we included a sterling cut-plus ring, designed by Lucas Goossens (of course!) to remind you to be positive. When you need an extra reason to smile, just look at your wrist.
Wear the stack as we have curated it, mix it up, or wear one or two rings at a time for a more subtle and simple look.
Whatever you decide, we can't wait to see how you style your stack. #makeityoursmaterials & finishes
Your fitness tracker or smartwatch is about to become a serious fashion accessory.

Voile Tourlight Probe
The Tourlight Probe is one of the easiest and fastest to assemble avalanche probes. It assembles in seconds by pulling the lead inner tube attached to a coated stainless steel cable. It locks into place with a simple, strong pop-button. The probe includes 5cm increment laser etched depth markings for accurate snow depth checks. The stainless steel cable has an adjustment knob to adjust cable tension if the probe is loose when assembled.
