Community Creators (formerly known as All-School Integrated Art) is an annual event that occurs in mixed K-5 groups over two consecutive Wednesdays in the Fall. All of our students have a chance to participate in activities with all of our teachers in all of our classrooms with students from all ages.
Fifth Grade Leaders
On our most recent Wednesday, our 5th graders really stepped up in a way many staff members have never seen before. They were fantastic leaders for our little ones. They helped make this day of transitions and meeting new faces easier for everyone. We are proud of our 5th graders for shining in this leadership role, as the big, kind kiddos of Aurora School.
What is Community?
Each year we explore the question "What is Community?" through 6 rotations spanning a broad range of modalities and topics.
- Room 1 ~ students made Bug Hotels and learned about beneficial bugs.
- Room 2 ~ Aurora actors did silly vocal warm-ups, played theater games, and jumped into character voice work with Teaching Assistant and voice actor, Adrian Herrera.
- Room 3 ~ students ventured outside to practice mindfulness through nature art inspired by artist Andy Goldsworthy.
- Room 4 ~ students brainstormed playground rules, made signs with their rules to hang around the yard, and played and nailed down the rules of 4-square.
- Room 5 ~ students collaborated to accomplish challenging tasks like lowering "Helium Sticks" and removing "Toxic Waste".
- Room 6 ~ students participated in a common tradition among communities: cooking and eating a meal together. They brought home their onigiri recipes to share with their families!

I've created and shared a new plugin, Dynamic Troubleshooting Device Links. Using a template form for device attributes, like #{name}, you can inject device related information into a link URL under troubleshooting in the inventory view.
You can use the device's IP address, host name, mac address, etc as CGI parameters to other applications on your network, like Sharepoint, Wiki's, other integrated systems, etc.
One thing I tried to do is annotate the code as much as possible for those wanting to learn to develop plugins. If you view the source, you'll see there are explanations on what we are doing, why we are doing it the way we are, and what you could with it in other situations.
If you have any questions with the code, or are experiencing bugs etc, let me know.

text: Today, the same is happening to the desktop. More and more consumers browse on phones and tablets, ignoring just about every ad in the process. Cramer said Facebook surely knew this transition was coming but likely underestimated just how fast it would happen. He said company executives chose to raise money at all costs during its IPO, which set up the drastic decline that's now in progress. Facebook has declining fundamentals, said Cramer, and with more share lockups set to expire soon, there's no telling just how low shares can fall. Just as Amazon.com ( AMZN) hurt brick and mortar retail and Apple's ( AAPL) iTunes crushed CD sales, so, too, will the mobile Internet hurt the desktop advertising model. Facebook will eventually figure out how to monetize mobile, Cramer concluded, but until they do, the stock is far too risky to touch.

A reader, IT and security consultant Raj Goel, sent an interesting response to a post I wrote yesterday about vendors overplaying the hacktivist threat. He suggested faulty software and hardware are bigger threats than outside hacking groups will ever be, and that it's time for a "lemon law" for this particular scourge.
His comments, sent my way in a LinkedIn message:
Is it just me or did the guys who compromised every security org on the planet (RSA, every AV and DLP vendor, Adobe, Java) just pulled a magic trick and passed the blame onto nameless hacktivists? Long before I fear the hacktivists and cyber-criminals, I DREAD Adobe, Java and the 100% failure rate that is the anti-malware industry. What do you think it's going to take to get a LEMON LAW for software passed?
I found that interesting, and told him so. He then added:
I've been advocating for that since 2001. Why is that when Toyota has a minor brake problem, they have to spend $2B to fix the problem, whereas, when flaws in Flash infect millions of PCs, Adobe is left off the hook? If food or drugs had a 30% failure rate, would we buy them? Would the FDA allow them to be sold? Nope, they wouldn't. And yet, what's the success rate for the BEST AV software? 71%.
I have no big points to add to the mix, other than that I agree there needs to be a bigger stick over the vendors' heads. Not that I think it's that simple. I also think that despite all the glitches we see daily, some of the big tech vendors -- Microsoft, Oracle and even Adobe -- have been working hard to improve the security of their products.
So tell me, readers? Is it time for a tech lemon law? Or is it an idea both oversimplified and unrealistic?

Logitech G has made a name for itself with its high-end peripherals. Catering to the whims of the hard-core gamer, these devices offer every conceivable bell and whistle imaginable. The G502 Proteus Spectrum reportedly offers twice the response time of a Razer's Deathadder mouse. The G633 Artemis Spectrum boasts Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound and DTS along with programmable presets.
But as much as hard-core gamers crave these features, there's a multitude of players who want basic high-end functionality but in a simple-to-use package. That's where Logitech Prodigy, the company's new set of peripherals comes in. These devices are geared toward the average gamer who wants entry level gear but with high-quality. It's a product line that's supposed to hit that sweet spot between form and function.
I had a chance to check out the Logitech G231 Prodigy headset, the Logitech G213 Prodigy keyboard and the Logitech G403 Prodigy wireless mouse. They all perform and function solidly. The build quality and each item is sturdy. They feel like they can take the wear and tear of everyday use. Here are my impressions of them:
The good: They are a comfortable set of over-the-ear cans that produce booming and rich audio. They can be worn for hours and they won't bother players much. Because the device connects using a standard 3.5mm jack, it works with PCs along with consoles such as the PlayStation 4, Wii U and Xbox One.
The bad: Despite the cushioning, the G231 isn't the most comfortable headset I've worn. That distinction still belongs to the Kingston's HyperX Cloud. It also has a dongle that lets players modify the volume and mute button. It's a feature I dislike because looking for those controls can be distracting while gaming. The connected microphone is decent, but unfortunately, it can't be removed. It can be pulled down and slotted up, which can be distracting at times.
The bottom line: This is a no nonsense headset with versatility and it's priced at $69.99.
The good: Built with one piece of plastic, this peripheral is built like a tank. It can take a beating while inside a backpack on the way to a LAN party or it can just sit at a desk, enduring the normal wear and tear of office work. The fast 2ms response times and features such as anti-ghosting technology means it performs comparable to other keyboards in its class. In addition, the multicolored lighting scheme means players can customize the keyboard's look for an individual game or use it to reflect their personality. Customized lighting can be a helpful way for players to learn the buttons for a complex genre like a real-time strategy title.
The bad: Although the G213 has plenty going for it, Logitech could have gone for a more simpler layout. I appreciate the media keys and the gaming button that turns off the Windows button functionality, but the keyboard could have been slimmer and sleeker without some of the features. The bigger drawback for the G213 is that it's not a mechanical keyboard. It doesn't have that distinct and satisfying feel of cherry keys like in the G610 Orion. It makes the keys feel stiffer.
The bottom line: The G213 is a simple and solid but a little bulky. At $69.99, it's a step up from the stock keyboard that likely came with your computer, but those who are used to mechanical keyboards may have a hard time adjusting.
The good: A familiar design based off the old Microsoft Intellimouse makes this feel instantly familiar. The G403 fits comfortably in the hand (if you're a righty). The sides have a nice rubberized grip that feels luxurious. In terms of performance, the mouse is fast and responsive with virtually no lag despite it being wireless. There are even two side buttons that are comfortably accessible with the thumb. They offer additional control without being too complicated like the Logitech G602.
Similar to the G900 Chaos Spectrum, the G403 has an internal battery that lasts about 24 hours. For those who want a weightier mouse, Logitech even includes a 10g weight that makes a noticeable difference in the feel.
The bad: There's not much to criticize with the G403. The only quibble I have is that it lacks the hyper-fast scrolling wheel that Logitech's higher-end mice feature. It enables quick scrolling for long pages such as those novel-length End User License Agreement that you casually scan.
The bottom line: At $69.99, this is the best peripheral of the set and would make any gamer happy with its design and features.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. When a new gaming category gains popularity, others try to enter the market and compete. It's happened with everything from Street Fighter II to Guitar Hero. With Anki Overdrive, that challenge comes in the form of the Galaxy Zega. The game, which launches Sept. 1, lets players control toy tanks via their smartphones.
The base concept is similar to Anki Overdrive but the execution is different. Whereas Anki lets players battle via Mario Kart-like races, Galaxy Zega lets players battle each other in arenas almost like a top-down shooter. Players can create their own arenas using pieces in the starter kit or they can jerry-rig their own together out of soda cans and other household items. With the official battlefield, players attach pieces together magnetically, so it's easy to assemble.
Galaxy Zega supports up to four players.
Like other toys-to-life game, there is a video game element. As players battle, they'll be able to earn points, bonus skills and other attributes. From what I've seen, it's an interesting concept but not as polished as its primary rival. The core gameplay could be more rewarding as players try to outmaneuver other Zegas on the field of play. It certainly requires more skill especially in 2 versus 2 or 1 versus 3 matches. The game supports up to four players at a time.
The developer, SmartX, is selling a Galaxy Zega starter kit, which includes two Zegas, a battlefield and charger for $149.99. Other accessories such as additional Zegas, an X-base that bestows power-ups and other battlefield add-ons are coming as well.

Norse mythology is full of storytelling potential, and video games have no problem mining the rich lore. Kratos is headed for the land of trolls and Odin in the new God of War. Too Human mixes sci-fi and Norse mythology while space operas such as the Halo franchise makes constant references to the lore.
With Vikings: Wolves of Midgard, developer Games Farm combines Norse mythology and Diablo-eseque gameplay. The upcoming game set to be released 2017 on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 lets players choose between a male or female warriors. These protagonists are out on a raiding trip when they return to their hometown and discover ice giants have attacked and sent the villagers fleeing. It's up to players to rebuild the town and seek justice.
The gameplay follows the familiar hack, slash and loot concepts. The male and female warriors have slight differences with armor sets and abilities. The women are slightly faster while the men are stronger. Games Farm eschews a traditional progression system for one that lets players power up through better gear and blood sacrifices. As players venture through Niflheim and other realms, they'll defeat foes that give them blood. Players convert this currency at an altar to upgrade their abilities through different Norse gods such as Loki and Thor.
So far, the game looks like a standard hack and slash except for a few tweaks here and there. For one, the land of Niflheim is snowy and players will have to rush from fire to fire to keep warm and stay alive. All the while, they'll be battling jotuns and wolves. Games Farm promises other levels that aren't so frigid. It looks like Vikings: Wolves of Midgard will need fresh ideas like these to keep from being overshadowed by other games next year.

Hollywood loves to destroy San Francisco. It has sent Magneto to rearrange its bridges. It has showed a magnitude 9.6 earthquake and tsunami tear the area apart. Godzilla even defended the city by the bay and inadvertently flattened every building in Chinatown.
As for video games, San Francisco hasn't been a popular locale compared to New York. Rockstar Games did a spoof of it called San Fiero in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The city has appeared in passing in numerous driving games from Driver: San Francisco to Need for Speed: The Run.
But that changes this fall as the Bay Area finally gets the video game spotlight. With Watch Dogs 2, Ubisoft Montreal has created one of the closest representation of San Francisco and region. If players drive north, they'll hit Sausalito and the rest of Marin County. Head east across the Bay Bridge, and players will discover an Oakland with neighborhoods such as Prescott (the lower bottoms) and the Fruitvale district. The developer even added parts of Silicon Valley, including Palo Alto and a Stanford-like campus.
Like the rest of the Bay Area, San Francisco isn't a direct one-to-one re-creation. Ubisoft Montreal sandwiches Golden Gate Park and the Presidio together while completely eliminating the Inner Richmond. Players can travel to SOMA, a version of AT&T Park and Haight and Ashbury. The basic philosophy behind the layout is that if it's well-known tourist destination, then players will be able to get there. (I see a trip to Alcatraz in my future.)
Want to swing by Alcatraz? You can do it via sailboat.
MORE DEPTH OF CONTROL: As much as I love Chicago, it seems as though Ubisoft Montreal has done a better job when it comes to gameplay and map design in Watch Dogs 2. I played a short demo of the open-world hacker title. The experience showed off how the team learned from its feature creep mistakes while also giving players more control and depth of interaction.
First off, Ubisoft Montreal simplified the hacking process in the Watch Dogs 2. Protagonist Marcus Holloway can hack other people and cars with the press of the L1 button. All they have to do is aim at a tafget and press it. Once they do, they can choose several different interactions. They can make a target's smartphone ring causing a distraction so they can sneak by. They can steal energy or money from the phone. There's even a way to call in a hit on a select person.
Players can take control of cars remotely and cause havoc with them.
REMOTE CONTROL: With cars, it's a little different. Players have the ability to hack into vehicles and actually control it. It's similar to what James Bond did with a BMW in Tomorrow Never Dies. When Marcus physically enters a vehicle and drives, players will discover that the car controls have been revamped. Without the weight and momentum, it's much easier to wheel around San Francisco, and that's going to be important because it's a difficult city to travel in.
I played a simple mission that started at Coit Tower. To activate a mission, all players have to do is open up the smartphone and choose it. The method ensures that the map is clean and not distracting while letting players concentrate on the task at hand. In this case, it was finding an illegal Stingray device that was siphoning off the unsuspecting public's data.
Hacking enemies is as easy as deploying a drone and pressing the L1 button.
SEND IN THE DRONES: To find the antennae, I had to use one of Marcus' drones — a quadcopter that lets players search for the Stingray. By pressing R3, I was able to go into a a Net Hack View that highlights the electronic devices and suspicious people in the world. I spotted the Stingray near the top of Coit Tower and hacked it to get to the second part of the mission, which took place on one of the piers along the Embarcadero.
Using what I learned, I took on this part of the mission via stealth. I ducked behind some crates and hacked into the cameras to scout out the area, marking the gunmen guarding a node I had to implant with a virus. It's a concept that was in the original, but Ubisoft Montreal updated the mechanics behind it by letting players quick hack with L1 and letting them pick the interaction with an object. In this case, it was a generator. I had the option to make it instantly explode or turn it into a mine that blows up when a foe is around it. I could also force it to make a sound if I wanted to go the nonlethal rout.
Silicon Valley is represented in Watch Dogs 2. That's something you don't see in many games.
STEALTH AND CO-OP MODES: I used the generator as a distraction and while the guard's backs were turned, I used Marcus nonlethal weapon — the Thunderball. It's essentially a billiard ball tied to a string and wielded around like a nunchuku. Like a ninja, I took out the thugs and did my part for Dedsec.
The second half of the demo involved a co-op mission. It's a departure from the adversarial modes where rival players invaded a game. Now, players will run into random gamers online and they can choose to help them out via a Crime Hunt co-op mission. I imagine it works a lot like multiplayer in Criterion's Burnout Paradise. It's a way for the world to feel alive with real players but the online play will act as a complement not as obstruction to the experience. That was a major complaint against the original — the constant invasions.
Players can form teams of two and take on a more difficult Crime Hunt mission.
TRAVELING TO OAKLAND: The Crime Hunt took me to Oakland. I was able to fast travel there by selecting a nearby store on the map. From there, my partner, Ubisoft artist Amelie Sorel, and I worked together to take out two targets in an industrial yard. Although it supposedly took place in Oakland, the area still had a Chicago feel of the original Watch Dogs. We both used our quadcopters to scout the area being careful not to get too close because it would alert the guards.
From there, we had to take out the guard dog. The Thunderball was the perfect tool to knock out the mutt though I did feel bad about it. From there, it was easy to sneak around and pick off each enemy until we isolated the targets. The experience reminded me of the co-op missions in Far Cry 4. Although I wasn't able to play them, Watch Dogs 2 does bring back the Invasion mode albeit with some tweaks. There's also a Bounty Hunter mode, where players can help the police and hunt down a gamer who is causing too much of a ruckus.
Watch Dogs 2 is scheduled for release on the PlayStation 4, Xbx One and PC on Nov. 15.

For years, Nvidia has been making graphics cards for two gaming categories. The Santa Clara-based company has built beefy graphics chips for the desktop that push out bleeding edge visuals on PC. But when it comes to laptops, Nvidia has made comparable chips with the same architecture, but the constraints of the platform has forced the company to tone down the power.
That ends today as Nvidia has announced that it has created gaming notebook versions of its new graphics cards based on the Pascal architecture. In essence, the GTX 10-series, which includes the GeForce GFX 1060, GeForce GFX 1070 and GeForce GFX 1080, are coming to laptops in their full glory. The move promises a big boost in power when compared to the notebooks with the 900M chips.
"It's a quantum leap in performance," Nvidia product manager Mark Aevermann said. "It clocks in at 76 percent leap."
Being a full-fledged Geforce GTX graphics chip with no compromises, players can expect the same type of features on notebooks as they would on PC. Laptops with GTX 10-series of chips will handle virtual reality and support G-Sync. Some OEMs will ship notebooks that include SLI built in. That's the feature that lets two Nvidia graphics cards connect to each other to push higher frame rates and lusher visuals. There will even be an option for factory overclocking.
Part of the reason, Nvidia has been able to replicate its graphics card in a smaller form factor is that it has included dual-FET power supply and increased energy efficiency with multi phased power controllers. Despite being more powerful, Aevermann says the GTX 10-series chips get 30 percent more battery life compared to the Maxwell notebook predecessors.
Aevermann says players can expect to see notebooks with the GTX 10-series chips launching Tuesday with the most affordable models featuring a GeForce GTX 1060 selling for $1,300.

The last time I saw Worlds Adrift it was more of an idea. Bossa Studios wanted to make a massively multiplayer online game with an unprecedented amount of emergent gameplay. They would give players the tools, and it would be up to them to shape the project.
Since then, Worlds Adrift has been giving players in the Alpha more options to shape their world and Bossa Studios has also fleshed it out with more features. I had a chance to get some hands-on time with the MMO, and from what I played, it's coming along well.
Bossa Studios gives players tools so that they can create their own islands in Worlds Adrift.
The most obvious change was the visuals. Bossa Studios added creatures, flora, fauna and different biomes. This was more than a tech demo now. It was beginning to look like a game. Game designer Luke Williams showed off the simple ecosystem that he spoke about before. It revolved around flying manta ray creatures, beetles and trees. The manta ray creatures feed on the bugs and the beetles chow down on the plants. If players chop down the trees, the beetles will attack them.
If players consume too many of an island's resources and leave it barren, the manta ray creatures and beetles will leave and inhabit another area. On the opposite side of the coin, players can be good and plant seeds on lifeless island to restart the ecosystem. Bossa Studios designed these beasts to behave like real animals. Manta rays feed, they mate (I saw this firsthand.) and they migrate. They also happened to be very territorial. I found this out the hard way when I went to build an airship.
Players can build their own ships in Worlds Adrift.
There were a few lurking about, and they attacked Williams and me as we experimented building a ship. Bossa Studios gives players unprecedented freedom when making an aircraft. With a new creation tool, players can build frames for galleons or designers could be unconventional and make vessels that are armored and look like submarines. Some may let their imaginations run wild and build a ship like a doughnut. Of course, those who don't want to go through that rigmarole can go with premade frames from the developer.
All these designs will fly as long as players add the needed features. They have to discover blueprints for engines and build those out of materials they mine from islands. The 13 different metals include gold, iron and steel. They each have different properties. For example, gold is good for conductivity while iron and steel are heat resistant. That's obviously better for engines and hot environments.
From there, they have to add dials that will help players pilot the ship. They'llneed to know their speed and direction. They must know the artificial horizon as well. Because the ship design is so flexible, ambitious shipwrights can design their cockpits in any way they see fit. They can put it inside the ship and look out the world through a periscope or slot. They can put it on top of the ship for better vision.
Air ships like these need to be staffed by multiple people.
Ideally, players will work in teams to crew an airship. With more people, teams can take on roles such as gunners, lookouts and repairmen. They'll need a crew because venturing out into Worlds Adrift can be dangerous. Players will run into aggressive manta rays or other players seeking to raid ships for parts. To explore the world, they'll have to go through storm walls that divide one region from another.
Heading through these areas is a dangerous undertaking. The storms have strong winds and lightning that can rip apart a ship. Crews will constantly need to repair a ship's armor and engines if they hope to get across. They'll have to make sure they have enough fuel to make the trip. Journeying across Worlds Adrift will feel like a space shuttle launch and not a drive across town.
Bossa Studios is hoping that players will want to explore their world. A big reason for this is that the players will help create some of it. The studio released an island editor, where players can design their own locales and submit it to the developers. The team will then assess it and decide if they should include it in the game.
What will players find on these strange islands? Maybe lost technology to make their ship better.
Think of World Adrift in similar terms to Eve Online. The developer wants to give players the tools for them to explore its universe, and from there, the team will take a hands off approach. With so much freedom, they'll have to fend for themselves. They'll have to make their own economic system, cities, norms and mores.
Bossa Studios wants players to write their own stories. For example, a person could be try going through a storm wall in a vessel manned by firend. The ship could be destroyed and the player would end up stranded on an unfamiliar island. From there, the developer still gives players tools to get off the locale. They can build a rudimentary airship powered by sails and hopefully find civilization.
For my tastes, the crafting system is a little too involved. Although players can build single-pilot aircrafts, it looks as though the process would be too cumbersome and laborious. To casual players, it may even appear inaccessible. But then again, I only spent about an hour with the game. If Bossa Studios can nail this balance, then they could be building a project that could rival No Man's Sky in terms of exploration and emergent gameplay.

Although I had a glimpse into the early game of Civilization VI, the changes made me curious about how the end game would unfold. I spoke senior gameplay designer Anton Strenger about how diplomacy and the later parts of a campaign would look and I was surprised when he confirmed that the World Congress, a longtime Civ staple, wouldn't be in the game.
In the Civilization V: Brave New World expansion, the World Congress made the late game so much more dynamic with players using diplomacy and winning over city-states as key mechanic to thwart other rivals and help their civilization.
With the World Congress gone, Stenger said players will have to rely on a new Gossip system. It essentially starts when players discover another civilization and send an envoy to the rival capital. This gets a player's foots in the door when it comes diplomatic visibility. Envoys will report general stuff to players and pass on rumors. As players beef up their diplomacy and friendships with other countries, they can raise that diplomatic visibility up to four levels. At the highest level, they will get top secret information from friendly nations.
The information could be something like Japan building nuclear weapons or players discovering a rival's hidden agenda. If they find one nation wants to protect city-states and another wants to conquer them, they can ideally set those potential rivals against each other. The diplomatic visibility can be powerful in the right hands and it's partly why Catherine De Medici can be a strong leader. She starts with a diplomatic visibility of one with all nations.
Diplomacy also has a huge impact on a civilization's relationship with city-states. Despite the lack of a World Congress, these entities still have plenty to contribute. Over the course of a campaign, players will be fighting to win their favor. That's done by taking advantage of the civics tree and earning the ability to send more envoys. Sorry, spies won't work here.
Being friendly with city-states conveys slight benefits like a boost to culture or science and improved trade. Win more perks from them and they'll send the friendly nation its luxuries and resources. If players can become a city-states' Suzerain, those city-states will go to war for their nation. Pay them enough money and players can even temporarily control the city-states' armies.
That kind of utility is a double-edged sword. Players can use city-states for offense to attack far-off nations, but they also have to be aware of the ones closer to them. If they ignore a nearby city-state, players could end up being ambushed in their backyard.

Radical changes have marked each major installment of the Sid Meier's Civilization series. The sequel to the original introduced the isometric perspective and a revamp of tiles. Civilization IV upgraded the series with a richer visual world. With the latest chapter in the series, Firaxis unstacks the cities and splits the tech tree and that makes Civilization VI a massively different experience.
I didn't know how big the change was until I started on the first 100 turns with the Aztecs. Led by Montezuma, this civilization is a preorder bonus and has a host of distinct abilities, units and structures. With Legend of the Five Suns ability, the Aztecs can use a builder's charge to complete 20 percent of a district's original cost. Gifts of Tlatonani boosts the power of luxury resources giving players more credit for amenities. In addition, military units receive a +1 to combat strength for each different luxury resource. The Eagle Warriors are stronger than the normal starting soldier units. Lastly, the Tlachtli is a unique building that bestows faith and amenity credits.
Districts are important to building new type of structures for your city.
THE PERFECT WARRIOR FOR THE EARLY GAME: Montezuma was the perfect choice for this demo session because most of it was spent in the Civilization VI early game. The Eagle Warrior is a powerful attacker that's stronger than the initial warrior unit and it has the bonus of converting enemy units of rival civilizations into builders. Attacking the Aztecs early on is a dicey proposition because those builders help Montezuma develop resources on his tiles.
That's precisely what happened after meeting my Civilization VI rivals. I shared a continent alongside Japan's Hojo Tokimune, England's Queen Victoria and Brazil's Pedro II. The last leader proved to be the most truculent of the three, but that's because I pissed him off. Every leader has a historical agenda and a hidden agenda, and with the Brazilian, his imperative is grabbing all the Great People. If players make one, it'll annoy him. Take two of them and suddenly it's all out war.
Great People work differently in Civilization VI. According to senior gameplay designer Anton Strenger, there are a finite number of them and they are geared toward the era. "We wanted to make each one unique" and related to their place in history, he said. They're almost like Wonders in a way but about half as powerful. For example, the philosophy behind Great Scientist is that they produce tech boost, but specifically, a great person like Alan Turing will focus that boost on computers.
The Great Wall has a more meaningful appearance with the unstacked cities.
GREAT PEOPLE ARE ALMOST LIKE WONDERS: I stumbled onto a few Great People early on in my play through. As I explored the map, which has a fancy visual upgrade to the fog of war, I discovered that I was next to a mountain range. These tiles are great for science campuses and religious district. I put my first district, focused on religion, between two mountains to maximize the boost near the capital. Later on, I built Stonehenge, which is a religious Wonder and also had the requirement of being constructed next to a quarry.
That's how I managed to get a prophet early and found a religion. Now, each civilization gets one prophet and that's followed up by three religious units: inquisitors, apostles and missionaries that spread religion. The move angered Pedro II. I continued building and created a campus district (Science) around my second city. In the meantime, I managed to build a third settler and set up another city next to a rain forest natural wonder. From the way my civilization was evolving, it looked as though religion would be the base for the spreading influence and amassing culture.
That offered a huge boost in civics tree. Yup, you heard that right. Firaxis decided to split the development tree in Civilization VI into a tech tree fueled by science and civics tree powered by culture. Now, players have to worry about both if they want to get certain units. For example, the Japanese samurai needs certain metal works advancement but it's also only obtainable through the civics tree.
Putting cities next to the coast has an intrinsic value that makes getting seafaring technology faster.
HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS: In addition to units, this department determines the government and the policies a nation has. Players should choose the government that complements their civilization. For example, a nation focused on conquest may benefit from oligarchy and its military boost. On the other hand, a republic eschews strong armies in favor of building strength domestically.
Civilization VI represents government through a military, economic, diplomatic and a wildcard policies. These are essentially bonuses that steer a nation toward a goal. It's represented by cards that players can switch in and out. Once it's set, a policy can't be changed for a few turns unless players reach another civic level. There are ways to short circuit the process, including paying gold to change the policy on the fly. Players should also have second thoughts before changing governments all willy-nilly. Civilizations who stick with a government for a long time have legacy bonuses, which have big ramifications in the late game.
But let's get back to Pedro II who was casually moving his units near my borders. After I got a Great Scienstist, I angered him enough that he was going to surprise attack me. It didn't help that he could move freely in and out of my borders. Surprisingly, in the early game, before players send envoys and discover certain technologies in the civics tree, rival civilizations can move in and out of your territory because the concept of empires and nations hasn't been discovered yet. That changes with the development of Early Empires.
The fog of war is new and improved using a new map look.
I DESTROYED PEDRO II: He ended up attacking me and it was a bloodbath for him. His chariots and sling tossers couldn't stand next to my battled-hardened Eagle Warriors. For the past few turns, my army had been hunting Barbarians, which have an upgrads of their own. They now act almost like rival civilizations with scouts and other units. If the scouts come across a city, they'll return back to a village and call forth a raiding party. I had to quickly eliminate those annoying threats before they got out of control.
Now those forces were meeting an army from another civilization and they were murdering them. The great part about Eagle Warriors is that the defeated units turn into Builders who have three charges to improve the land around my cities. Suffice to say, I both weakened Pedro II and helped improve the land around my cities.
Despite my improvements, I fell behind a new measurement called amenities. It's a stat that every city has and it's focused on housing and support for a population. If players don't build enough structures, it creates a deficit and cities grow slower. This makes building out more important than ever, but the big learning curve for Civilization VI will be when to exactly expand the cities.
It becomes a big strategic conundrum because districts take a long time to build and players have to place them in areas that will maximize their benefit. Campuses should be near mountains and rain forests. Theater districts get a boost if they are built near wonders. The districts are also the only way to build other structures that came easily in the past like temples or barracks. My Aztec cities slowed down because I didn't focus enough time on making districts and instead built an army or expanded to other areas trying to lock down resources.
Trade was a big help with caravans helping to build roads and create support between my cities, but it just wasn't enough. Perhaps if I played into the midgame, I could have righted my civilization. I guess I'll have to wait to conquer Pedro II. That poor fool is going to be dominated when Civilization VI comes out Oct. 21 on PC.

If Abzu reminds you of Journey, there are two reasons for that — Matt Nava and Austin Wintory. The respective creative director and composer for the short but sweet adventure have moved on from the Jenova Chen project and worked on a title with a similar vibe but a different place.
In Abzu, players explore the ocean — a space that can be both alien and familiar at times. As the nameless Diver, players explore the deep and see the life lurking beneath the surface. At first, the game seems aimless as players wander the seas. They press R2 to dive. They maneuver around the ocean like the second coming of Ecco the Dolphin, manipulating objects by pressing the square button and boosting around the water with the X button.
Players can ride giant rays by holding onto a button.
They can swim alongside black sea bass. They can touch Abzu pools and awaken creatures such as hawksbill sea turtles, which are added to the sea. Players can find more of these pools, release more wildlife and make the waters richer with life. But as they adventure through the ocean, players will discover there's more to Abzu than straight exploration. The campaign has a quest that players will stumble onto.
They'll see shark statues, where players can meditate and look at the sea life around them. Lead engineer Brian Balamut, who spoke at a demo session, said, "Mat and I are both certified scuba divers. Diving is an amazing experience. It's very spiritual and it's immersive." With Abzu, he said the team at Giant Squid "wanted to evoke the dream of scuba diving."
In Abzu, players swim with fishes based on their real-world counterparts.
That's part of the reason they used actual fish and sea life and re-created some of the animal's real-life behaviors in the game. If players are sitting atop these shark statues, they'll observe this circle of life as one fish eats another. They'll see cleaner fish feeding around a shark's mouth in a symbiotic relationship. It has the addictive quality of watching one of those Discover Channel nature show.
Further into the game, players will discover broken underwater drones, and these robots will unlock the path for the Diver. This is where the curious will discover that there's something deeper to Abzu. Giant Squid uses some of the narrative and gameplay ideas as Journey. The developers let the environment tell the backstory and players figure out the other mechanics themselves. Additionally, they'll uncover underwater temples that hold the key to the main narrative.
I'm still going through the adventure, but from what I played so far, Abzu like Journey is a short adventure, but it holds the promise to being something more.

Look at it all shiny and new. Isn't she glorious? It's unlike any other Xbox One controller and the best thing of all it honors Cthulhu, the greatest of the great old ones.
Although Microsoft has fallen behind Sony when it comes to console sales, one area where the tech giant has dominated is controllers. Last year, the company surprised everyone with the Xbox Elite, which is hands down the best first-party controller on the market. Now, Microsoft is offering players a new type of controller — one that they design themselves.
Through the Xbox Design Lab, players can make a custom version of the new Xbox One S controller. They can pick the paint of the body from 15 hues. From there, they can choose the colors on the bumpers and triggers, D-pad, thumbsticks, face buttons, menu buttons and back. For a personal touch, they can even add an laser engraving that sits at the bottom of the controller.
Microsoft showed off the different types of custom controllers at an E3 event.
That concept sent my mind reeling. With a Microsoft-provided code, I was free to come up with any design I wanted. The first thing I made was a Lakers-themed controller. The colors worked out perfectly: Lightning Yellow and Regal Purple mimicked the team colors perfectly. For a bit of fun, I wanted to see what I could get away with in terms of engraving.
First off, I tried a four-letter word that I usually hear when I go online in Call of Duty, and to no surprise, that was immediately rejected. In other words, those wanting to make a controller just like Jules Winnfield's wallet in Pulp Fiction will be sorely disappointed. The other disappointing thing is that players only have 16 characters to work with.
Pushing the limits further, I wondered if Microsoft allowed emoticons. I mean who wouldn't want the shrug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ as an engraving on their controller. Unfortunately, that didn't work either. (It rejected the Kanji that makes the face.) But that led me to explore other potential emoticons. Lenny Face, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), didn't work. I had the same story with the Take My Energy ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ type. Interestingly enough, the one emoticon that would work was Cthulhu, (;,;), the tentacled nightmare made popular by H.P. Lovecraft.
A controller to make Cthulhu proud.
With that mind, I decided to make a controller as an ode the Old One. When he finally awakens from his dark slumber, maybe he'll look at my Xbox One S controller and decided to spare me from madness and the end of the world. I had the engraving set. I went with the gull-wing Cthulhu just because it looked pretty sick, and from there, I looked for color schemes that would honor The Sleeper of R'lyeh. I based it off this picture. Most images of Cthulhu have him green so I used that for the base. I went for purple on the D-pad and shoulder buttons for contrast before settling for red analog sticks for the eyes. A friend says the controller looks like a frog that Picasso drew, but obviously, he didn't look at the source material.
As for the performance of thew Xbox One S controller, it works well. It feels slightly smaller than the original one. The textured grips make a difference when holding it. The D-pad is less clicky than the original while the recessed Xbox button makes it harder to accidentally hit it by mistake. After several drops, my old Xbox One controller sticks were feeling a bit gravelly but the new ones felt better. Perhaps, you can chalk that up to wear.
Rejoice! You no longer need that bulky adapter to get sound from the controller.
One of the bigger improvements is the 3.5 mm jack at the bottom so players no longer need that bulky adapter. Players can just slap in their headphones and it should work. They'll need to adjust the volume and mic controls in the Xbox One menu. The other upgrade is the Bluetooth support, so players can now use the controlller with Windows 10 laptops and PCs that support it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on iOS devices, which is a disappointment. The Xbox One S controller would have immediately been the best device of its type for Apple devices. But seeing how Apple controls its ecosystem and how Microsoft is a competitor I can see why the device just connects to my iPad but doesn't do anything.
Although it's not as good as the Xbox Elite controller, the custom Xbox One S controller has plenty of things going for it. The feel is good and it has improvements to make the quality of life better. At $79.99, the custom design is more expensive than the stock controller at $59.99. Is $20 worth it to have a controller designed specifically for you? For some core gamers who spend hours on Xbox One and PC games, that price may be worth it.

Casey was a villainess from the SyFy Channel film, War Wolves.
She was played by Siri Baruc.
Casey was one of several Army soldiers infected with a virus that turns them into werewolves. After returning home, Casey turned villainous and formed an alliance with fellow evil she-wolves Erika and Justine, as they set out to dominate humanity. Their rampage began with attacking onlookers at a local tavern, and later in the film, the evil Casey appeared in her werewolf form, along with Justine, and terrorized citizens in a church. Casey even went as far as to terrorize and berate a frightened young girl, but at that moment, she was shot and killed by one of the hostages.

Crafted from Wickett and Craig English bridle leather, this 8" x 2" x 1" pencil box is an attractive option when it comes to storing your writing instruments. Instead of pairing it with your Ninja Turtles Trapper Keeper, consider keeping it on your desk or in your daily office bag, as it's refined enough to accompany any workspace. Not only will it stand up to the rigors of travel thanks to the hand stitched tab closure and durable leather build, but it will look even better as it ages.

If you've spent any time reading about natural health you have probably heard about water ionizers. It seems like they are being talked about everywhere. Everyone is talking about the acid/alkaline balance in the body and how to improve it. Alkaline water has gained in popularity over the past 5 years because of this need to balance our bodies.
I started by drinking 3-4 liters of alkaline water per day and my energy increased dramatically. I felt a lot better as well. I did not have a blood analysis or anything to show me the difference. I just tried it for myself and knew I was on the right path to a healthy life.

So I have the tendency to seek out relationships( friendship and romantic interest) based upon emotional capacity/trust/respect etc; spontaneity; secureness(in sense of ego and ability to be present and appreciating life); empathy and acceptance of others;and by having respect for differences in opinion.. And I would hope this hypothetical boyfriend would want the same from me
With experimenting in my dating styles my results have found that it is easier said than done..cause I know I'm not perfect and I know that it's unrealistic to expect to meet all of your wants, but how can I go on blindly trusting potential suitors with out any sense of respect for what we want for ourselves out of life?
I had to go through the traumatic experience of being a sexual assault survivor in order to realize that I just want to be loved and accepted for who I am rather than the person who always gets taken advantage of for being over generous, It's unfair all I want to do is help people realize their potential in whatever way I can but whenever I can't give anymore and need to do what's right by me I get judged for being selfish and have lost friends for it..So now I just put a big wall up that apparently says f*** off--because I have friends telling me I put off a "better than thou" vibe when in reality I know humans are a spectrum of strengths and weaknesses that shouldn't define us. So I guess after all that ranting is how can I stop people from perceiving me this way? And start getting off this negative track so I can start dating and building better friendships
In need of advice for behavior modification!! Realistic and motivational comments would be appreciated :)

What Guys Said 2
This is interesting. Yet there isn't enough information. I need to know what you do, not what you think, because people are being turned off by your actions, not your words, and also I need to know when this started happening and specifically to know if it came before or after the sexual assault. I am by nature wary of people who claim to be overly generous for a few reasons, one major being that other people don't see generosity but instead see either a shirking behavior or a domineering and forceful behavior. Being a muse is no easy task and it doesn't incorporate in any sense of the word "generosity".
How many people have you dated, what were their ages, how many "styles" have you come up with, and what were the major proponents / differences in approach for each style? Actually now that I think about it almost everything you told me is useless to knowing you or identifying your problem. Coming off as "holier than thou" is extremely easy when you wish to help people through extremely vigorous means; one might call it just being a bad teacher.
Oh, and have you ever attended real-life counseling? If not, do that first, then ask strangers. If so, I'm surprised you kind of left out everything important.00|00|0
Excuse my vague writing, I was up at 3 am last night dwelling on things and just wanted to vent out to reduce my stress. My story is somewhat complicated. There are a lot of components influencing my behavior and I'm honestly just trying to comprehend them myself. To answer your question though, I was somewhat reserved before the assault, I had dated around but the first time I ever had sex I was rufied and its changed my perspective on relationships. And now that is translating over to my

I'd suggest something like Omegle but those are the worst people on the planet. Literally. They make persons like myself look like Saints.
Regardless the idea is just to get you talking again, laughing with other people, discussing something in depth, holding real conversations. The conversations you hold now seem hollow.
It's not how you perceive people, it's how you perceive people to make you feel that way.00|00|0

New Emperor Takes Rome
by Samara Steinfeld
ROME - Yesterday, Octavian rose to power as Rome's emperor. He defeated former co-leader Mark Antony to rule Rome independently.
Octavian, who will also be known as Augustus, intends to pay soldiers' tips with his own money and is hoping to work with the Senate. "I have great plans for Rome," he states.
Rome's new leader has gained favor in high-ranking officials as allies, who assure, "Rome will flourish under Octavian's rule." Also, being the grandnephew and later, adopted son, of the previous emperor, Caesar, Caesar's allies are Octavian's as well.
Octavian also has quite a different background than most people. Since Caesar's murder, Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus have ruled Rome together, but Lepidus quickly dropped out of the equation. Antony, who slowly grew fascinated with Egypt and its ruler, Cleopatra, was overpowered by Octavian, as stated before.

Advice For Romans
by Samara Steinfeld
"All of my friends keep talking about the upcoming Gladiator fights. I don't want to feel weird and admit that I don't know what they are, so could you please explain what they are?" - Cato from Western Rome
Gladiator fights are public events where people fight to the death as entertainment. They are held in amphitheaters that sometimes hold 50,000 audience members. Fights start out with animals and then progress to people. Participants can be criminals, prisoners from war, or even volunteers.
"I am a professional mourner. My throat aches for days after I am hired. Do you have any ideas to help me?" - Aeliana from Eastern Rome
There are a couple answers to this problem, Aeliana. A simple one is to switch jobs. You could wash laundry for people, or if you want to do something similar to professional mourning, you could help prepare the dead for ceremonies. Also, you could ask a person near you who sells medicine for something to help the aching.
"i am twelv yers old. i want to lern how to reed and rite beter but my mome and dade say i haf to mary sum guy i dont no. wat do i do" - Caelia from Eastern Rome
This not an unusual circumstance, as many girls have this issue. As this is your parents' decision, there is not much anyone can do to help you, but they might listen to you if you ask them and they really do care about you. Good luck, though!

If traveling was free, you would never see me again….There are such beautiful places on earth that it is impossible to let go of the travel urge. Not only are the natural landscapes a tempting sight, but there are numerous man-made attractions too that will make you fall in love with them.
Different countries have different kind of architecture but with the help of creative architects, certain buildings simply stand out and become a masterpiece. While it is not easy to pick and choose or rank these architectural beauties in a particular order, we bring to you some of the most incredibly beautiful buildings in the world that are sheer examples of architectural craftsmanship.
Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, Spain
Having consumed 40 years of the veteran Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, this Gothic art Nouveau cathedral is still not complete and is expected to be ready anytime between 2017 and 2026.
Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey
Originally designed to serve as a church, Hagia Sophia or the 'Holy Wisdom', was later used as a mosque and now stands as a museum. This domed monument is an architectural wonder and is an epitome of Byzantine architecture, which remained the largest cathedral on earth for about a thousand years before Seville Cathedral took over the title in 1520.

When your Volvo V60 Cross Country left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values European styling in their automobile. Volvo car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of a reputation for safety when driving their V60 Cross Country around town. Your Volvo dealership isn't the only place to find the best repair parts to fix your V60 Cross Country. It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Starter for your car or truck.
Imagine having to crank your engine in order to get it going. The starter motor built for your engine makes turning it over a breeze. The solenoid on your Volvo V60 Cross Country starter motor receives a signal from your ignition switch, and harnesses the power of the battery to engage the starter and spin the flywheel. A broken starter motor means your Volvo V60 Cross Country won't turn on... and that's no good for anyone.
Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Don't let a broken Starter spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. Get your V60 Cross Country back on the road with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Need 2016, 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country Starter parts?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Description: 2 year old female Boxer mix Weight 40.8 lbs
Details: Bonnie came in to our shelter along with 48 more dogs from a hoarding case. The dogs lived in deplorable conditions and none had been socialized with people. Bonnie was very fearful when she arrived at the shelter and did not want to come out of her kennel. However, she was one of the first dogs to come out of the kennel when a dog run was built connected to the kennels. Over the past couple of months, Bonnie has started warming up to people. She will now take treats from your hand and allow some chin scratches. She is avoidant of other touching and of leashing. She will stick her nose through the leash, but will run away when attempted to put on. When we are able to leash, she panics and flails when walking out of the kennel. While in the dog run, she is very playful with some of the other dogs that she came in with, mouthing and play growling.
Medical: Dental disease will need a dental.
Adoption fee (from Safe Haven) is only $25 & includes:
- Initial Vet check
- Spay/Neuter surgery
- Up to date on Vaccinations
- Voucher for a future Free office visit to the Vet
- 50% off any Optimum Wellness Plan
- 30 days of free pet insurance (in case something comes up after adoption)
- Available Paperwork: Spay/Neuter records, Vaccination records, Vet records, Microchip records, Recommendation list, etc...
- Continued Support: Safe Haven will be there for the lifetime of your adopted pet. If you ever have questions or concerns, We will always be there to help. Our goal is for you & your pet to live happily ever after!
- This pet has NOT been saved & is in danger of being euthanized at the shelter on the deadline posted.
- The shelter will not allow me to have potential adopters come down & view the pets. This pet is in an area only accessible to rescue groups.
- You must be 100% SURE you want to adopt this pet & commit to adopting without meeting them first (I know, scary, but keep reading it gets better...).
- Fill out an application & be screened before the deadline so I can let the shelter know we have a home for this pet. For a dog: http://www.adoptapet.com/Safe-Haven/adoption-application/
- Once you get an approval e-mail, rest easy & follow the instructions.
- I will then pull the pet off the list, if your pet is marked as "spayed" or "neutered" in the shelter notes, plan to get your new family member either that day or the next day. Pick-up times are 9-5 every day of the week
- If your pet is marked as "male" or "female" in the shelter notes, then that means that they need to be fixed. So plan to get your new family member within 1-5 days. I will keep you updated & notify you when they are out of surgery, etc...
- After adoption, I will be available for help with training if you need it
- You can return the pet to Safe Haven if for some reason it is not working out. All I ask is that you give it a good 30 days before making that decision. (so see, it is not as scary as it sounds) This is the same way we do things with people who have fostered for us, only this is for people who are looking to adopt)
* Please note: Most pets that come from the big shelters get upper respiratory infections there. It is very common & is NOT serious. It is a virus that just needs to run it's course. Equivalent to you or I having a common cold. A dog is only contagious to another dog. Cat to cat. It is advised that you keep them separate for the first week.
It is also STRONGLY ADVISED that you crate your new pet if they are fearful , need to recuperate from surgery, need potty training, or are being introduced to other pets. A crate is a great tool in helping them & keeping them safe. I strongly believe in using crates as a training tool much the same as using a crib for a baby.
Thank you for taking part in saving this pet from the cruelty in this world!
Q: Is this pet still available?
A: Updates are posted in the original post on the FB page for Safe Haven Animal of AZ at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1405138936478168/ It will say the status of the pet in all caps at the very top of the pets post.
Q: I don't see a phone #. Will someone please call me?
A: Everything needed is online. I have found that online is the most efficient way to get all the work done. In the past, when I posted my #, my phone rang off the hook all day. So I spent the whole day on the phone, with not much work to show for it at the end of the day. Again, everything needed is online.
Q: Can I visit with this pet before adopting?
A: Not through the E-list Adoption Program. Please read through the details above under "HOW SAFE HAVENS E-LIST ADOPTION PROGRAM WORKS".
However, we also do regular adoptions where you can meet the pet first. Pets up for regular adoption have a more detailed profile & can be seen on our Facebook page, or here: http://www.AdoptaPet.com/shelter81523-pets.html then click on the picture of the pet you are interested in to read about them.
Q: Is this pet good with other animals?
A: If it is, it is posted in the section "NOTES FROM THE SHELTER ABOUT THIS PET". If it is not posted, then it is unknown.
Q: How do I adopt this pet?
A: Please read through the details above under "HOW SAFE HAVENS E-LIST ADOPTION PROGRAM WORKS". Then fill out the application posted in that section. E-list pets are my first priority, so I will contact you ASAP before the deadline, but please be patient, I do have a heavy workload.
Q: Can I adopt if I live out of state?
A: The animals on the euthanasia list have generally been neglected or abused and are very afraid of people because of it. Therefor they are not fit for transport.
However, if you are interested in a pet, we can pull them off the list for you, work with them and get them ready for transport. Fees start at $195 for transport + the regular adoption fee. All transported cats come with a collar with ID attached, a carrier with padding, health certificate if required, bowls, and of course food for the trip. Plus all the other things listed above that regularly come with adoptions. Feel free to e-mail email@example.com so I can give you a more exact quote.
Q: Can I foster this pet?
A: Safe Haven no longer uses fosters. BUT, please sign up to foster at a shelter near you. By fostering for the shelter, you prevent that pet from ending up on the euthanasia list in the first place!
Q: Where is this pet?
A: This shelter does not publicize their euthanasia list & has asked that we do not post their name. They do not wish to receive calls about this pet & the pet is in an area of the shelter only available to rescue groups. They have agreed to allow me to network as long as it is done through Safe Haven.
Q: I like what you are doing & would like to help. Would you be open to a partnership?
A: Absolutely! I am open to anything that helps care for the animals &/or saves more lives! Please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and give me details about what you have in mind.
Q: I run a rescue, what is the A#?
A: If you did not see this pet in your partner alert from the shelter, then you do not partner with this particular shelter.
Q: I run a rescue, will you pull this pet for me?
A: Not knowing your rescue & how it is run, I would not be comfortable with that. It is also against my agreement with this shelter to pull for another rescue. They (understandably) want to screen the rescues themselves. I would encourage you to look up all the shelters in your area & go through the approval process to partner with them.
Q: Can I sponsor this pet?
A; Absolutely! Taking care of each pet gets expensive, and we are so grateful for any monthly donation towards the Vet care, food, treats, toys, gas for running them to the dog park, vet ect...
Sponsoring requires the $25 pull fee + a commitment to a set monthly gift to go towards the care of this pet until adopted. To sponsor a specific pet, please click on this link https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=6DRAYJN5XEDZ2 You can pay with your PayPal account, or you can pay with a credit card. Please put the name of the pet you are wanting to sponsor on the invoice.
Q: How can I donate?
A: First, THANK YOU! We rely on private donations to help fund all the costs for these wonderful animals. So your help means a lot! To donate, please click on this link https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=6DRAYJN5XEDZ2 You can pay with your PayPal account, or you can pay with a credit card.

IT may not quite be Venice, but a Christchurch restaurateur is urging the council to agree to his idea of a water taxi to improve evening access to and from Mudeford Sandbank.
Jeremy Carpenter, who co-owns the Beach House eaterie, says his customers are currently leaving early throughout the summer, as the current ferry operator only runs until 10pm.
He is now proposing to run a water taxi service which would not be exclusive to his customers, but for anyone wishing to travel to and from the sandbank between 10pm and midnight.
Jeremy, who is meeting with the Christchurch council this week and hoping they will agree to start a formal tendering process, stressed that he would not be competing with the existing operator, Mudeford Ferry, as he would only run the water taxis after the last ferry has sailed.
He added: "Obviously, it's driven by the Beach House. It's a small business and when the ferry stops running at its current time, my customers just run out the door.
"There is some trade from the huts, which is great, but you can't rely on that small niche. If you come out on a Saturday night in August you don't want to rush out the door at 10pm, but you have to, because of the ferry."
Jeremy said that, for the last two years, he had paid Mudeford Ferry £100 each evening to run a later service, but that he could not continue to meet that cost throughout the summer, so was hoping the council would agree to the alternative idea.
He added: "We have said this to a lot of people, and not one of them has said it's a dumb idea. Everyone agreed there should be something.
"We don't want it to become a party island, or anything like that, it's just to improve access to a cut-off area. It's not just for our customers - it's not exclusive - it's not about that."
Jeremy added that the council had also recognised the need for a private jetty on the sandbank, following last year's row about a 'jettygate' being installed on the pontoon, and that it was something he was looking into.

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1729?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12966238#action_12966238 ] Peter Sturge commented on SOLR-1729: ------------------------------------ So is 1709 ok, but 1729 isn't? > Date Facet now override time parameter > -------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-1729 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1729 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: search > Affects Versions: 1.4 > Environment: Solr 1.4 > Reporter: Peter Sturge > Priority: Minor > Attachments: FacetParams.java, SimpleFacets.java, solr-1.4.0-solr-1729.patch, UnInvertedField.java > > > This PATCH introduces a new query parameter that tells a (typically, but not necessarily) remote server what time to use as 'NOW' when calculating date facets for a query (and, for the moment, date facets *only*) - overriding the default behaviour of using the local server's current time. > This gets 'round a problem whereby an explicit time range is specified in a query (e.g. timestamp:[then0 TO then1]), and date facets are required for the given time range (in fact, any explicit time range). > Because DateMathParser performs all its calculations from 'NOW', remote callers have to work out how long ago 'then0' and 'then1' are from 'now', and use the relative-to-now values in the facet.date.xxx parameters. If a remote server has a different opinion of NOW compared to the caller, the results will be skewed (e.g. they are in a different time-zone, not time-synced etc.). > This becomes particularly salient when performing distributed date faceting (see SOLR-1709), where multiple shards may all be running with different times, and the faceting needs to be aligned. > The new parameter is called 'facet.date.now', and takes as a parameter a (stringified) long that is the number of milliseconds from the epoch (1 Jan 1970 00:00) - i.e. the returned value from a System.currentTimeMillis() call. This was chosen over a formatted date to delineate it from a 'searchable' time and to avoid superfluous date parsing. This makes the value generally a programatically-set value, but as that is where the use-case is for this type of parameter, this should be ok. > NOTE: This parameter affects date facet timing only. If there are other areas of a query that rely on 'NOW', these will not interpret this value. This is a broader issue about setting a 'query-global' NOW that all parts of query analysis can share. > Source files affected: > FacetParams.java (holds the new constant FACET_DATE_NOW) > SimpleFacets.java getFacetDateCounts() NOW parameter modified > This PATCH is mildly related to SOLR-1709 (Distributed Date Faceting), but as it's a general change for date faceting, it was deemed deserving of its own patch. I will be updating SOLR-1709 in due course to include the use of this new parameter, after some rfc acceptance. > A possible enhancement to this is to detect facet.date fields, look for and match these fields in queries (if they exist), and potentially determine automatically the required time skew, if any. There are a whole host of reasons why this could be problematic to implement, so an explicit facet.date.now parameter is the safest route. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
