From the Design Wiki:
Urbis - A World of Cities is a fantasy setting developed for the Dungeons & Dragons RPG by Wizards of the Coast.
So, what is Urbis all about?
Urbis is Urban Fantasy
As the name implies, cities are central to Urbis. Gone are the quaint market towns of other fantasy worlds - these belong to an earlier, feudal age. Instead, the world is divided into a multitude of city-states with populations ranging into hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people! While there are plenty of wilderness and frontiers left in the world, these are not the main focus of this setting. There are plenty of things to do in the cities, from hunting monsters in the sewers, getting caught up in struggles between crime families, fighting for social justice for the downtrodden masses, to high-stakes games of diplomacy and intrigues between the rich and powerful of the cities.
Urbis is a Magical Industrial World
While most RPG fantasy worlds draw their inspiration from the Feudal Age or Renaissance of our world - or even earlier periods - Urbis is heavily inspired by the time of the European Industrial Revolution - the time when cities came into their own. On the one hand, it was a time of wonder - of scientific and technological prowess, and it seemed that there was nothing that humanity couldn't do. On the other hand, it also saw the rise of the urban poor - of masses of desperate people huddled together in ramshackle apartments who had not only work themselves to near-death, but also had to send their underage children to the same factories to keep their families from starvation.
The Nexus Towers, the iconic image of Urbis, represent both of these extremes. On the one hand, they promise near-limitless magical energies to those who control them, and thus make the vast cities with all their splendor and magics possible. On the other hand, they draw upon the very life of all those who live nearby, thus also becoming the Satanic Mills that many people imagined the early factories in our world to be.
Urbis is Realistic High Fantasy
At first glance, this seems to be a contradiction in terms. After all, "realism" and "fantasy" do not often come together. What this means in the context of Urbis is that for all the magical trappings of the setting there is an inherent logic to it. Fireball and other spells have radically altered the face of the battlefield. No longer is a battle fought with tight infantry formations that just ask to be killed by area-effect spells. Instead small groups of warriors try to sneak into enemy territory so that they can take out key installations or people before the other side notices. Raise dead has a real effect on the social structure of the setting - the rich and powerful are unlikely to die permanently of anything except old age. And all those monsters that look like they couldn't have possibly evolved in an Earth-like environment... well, they didn't. Most of them were brought to this world from other planets.
To sum it up, nothing in here exists in isolation from the rest of the setting. Everything affects the rest of society in some big or small way, or at least has the potential to do so - if the player characters bring it to light.
Urbis needs Heroes
While the cities seem calm and civilized on the surface, below it are intrigue, social unrest, and hidden wars that could turn into open bloodshed at any moment. As the cities grow ever larger and the differences between rich and poor more pronounced, some sort of radical transformation or even outright revolution becomes more and more likely.
Something has got to give. The only question is: In what direction will you push it?

My customers often generate reports and these can take a substantial amount of time to compute. So they like the page to dribble out on the user's screen as the computation proceeds. In my current server I keep a timer that flushes the pending output (no matter how slight) at regular intervals. I put that in when they complained about the absence of "dribble." Presumably I can do that in the current Apache API using the buffer flushing coupled with manly efforts to manage the I/O blocking in my module? - ben h.

To the Editor: Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV), collectively called marburgviruses, cause Marburg hemorrhagic fever (MHF) in humans. In July 2007, 4 cases of MHF (1 fatal) occurred in miners at Kitaka Mine in southern Uganda. Later, MHF occurred in 2 tourists who visited Python Cave, ≈50 km from Kitaka Mine. One of the tourists was from the United States (December 2007) and 1 was from the Netherlands (July 2008); 1 case was fatal (1,2,3). The cave and the mine each contained 40,000–100,000 Rousettus aegyptiacus bats (Egyptian fruit bats).
Longitudinal investigations of the outbreaks at both locations were initiated by the Viral Special Pathogens Branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, Atlanta, GA, USA, and Entebbe, Uganda) in collaboration with the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI). During these studies, genetically diverse MARVs and RAVVs were isolated directly from bat tissues, and infection levels of the 2 viruses were found to increase in juvenile bats on a predictable bi-annual basis (4,5). However, investigations at Kitaka Mine were stopped when the miners exterminated the bat colony by restricting egress from the cave with papyrus reed barriers and then entangling the bats in fishing nets draped over the exits. The trapping continued for weeks, and the entrances were then sealed with sticks and plastic. These depopulation efforts were documented by researchers from UVRI, the CDC, the National Institute of Communicable Diseases (Sandringham, South Africa), and UWA during site visits to Kitaka Mine (Technical Appendix [PDF - 124 KB - 1 page] Figure). In August 2008, thousands of dead bats were found piled in the forest, and by November 2008, there was no evidence of bats living in the mine; whether 100% extermination was achieved is unknown. CDC, UVRI, and UWA recommended against extermination, believing that any results would be temporary and that such efforts could exacerbate the problem if bat exclusion methods were not complete and permanent (6,7).
In October 2012, the most recent known marburgvirus outbreak was detected in Ibanda, a town in southwest Uganda. Ibanda is ≈20 km from the Kitaka Mine and is the urban center that serves smaller communities in the Kitaka area. This MHF outbreak was the largest in Ugandan history: 15 laboratory-confirmed cases occurred (8). In November 2012, an ecologic investigation of the greater Ibanda/Kitaka area was initiated. The investigation included interviews with local authorities to locate all known R. aegyptiacus colonies in the area. Although minor colonies of small insectivorous bats were found, the only identifiable colony of R. aegyptiacus bats was found inside the re-opened Kitaka Mine, albeit at much reduced size, perhaps 1%–5% of that found before depopulation efforts.
To determine whether the R. aegyptiacus bats that had repopulated Kitaka Mine were actively infected with marburgviruses, we tested 400 bats by using previously described methods (4,5). Viral RNA was extracted from ≈100 mg of liver and spleen tissue by using the MagMAX Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's recommended protocol. The Fisher exact test was conducted by using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 19.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA).
Of the 400 R. aegyptiacus bats collected, 53 (13.3%) were positive for marburgvirus RNA by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (32/233 [13.7%] adults and 21/167 [12.6%] juveniles; Technical Appendix [PDF - 124 KB - 1 page] Table); marburgvirus was isolated from tissue samples from 9 of the 400 bats. The overall level of active infection was significantly higher than that found in Kitaka Mine during 2007–2008 (5.1%) (5) (Fisher exact test, p<0.001) and in other studies in Uganda (Python Cave [2.5%]) and Gabon (4.8%) (4,9). The reason for the increase is not clear, but it may be related to the effects of the extermination and subsequent repopulation. Increases in disease prevalence in wildlife populations after culling are not unprecedented (6,7). We speculate that after the depopulation attempt, a pool of susceptible bats became established over time and was subjected to multiple marburgvirus introductions, as evidenced by the genetic diversity of viruses isolated from the bats (Figure). A pool of susceptible bats would have led to higher levels of active infection within the colony, thereby increasing the potential for virus spillover into the human population. A significant sex and age bias was not detected with respect to active infection during the breeding season (Fisher exact test, p>0.5 for both), and overall, the presence of virus-specific IgG among the bats was 16.5%, a finding consistent with that in previous studies (4,5).
Phylogenetic analysis of viral RNA genome fragment sequences in this study showed high marburgvirus genetic diversity, including the presence of RAVVs and MARVs. Sequences for isolates from 3 bats were nearly identical to those of the MARV isolates obtained from patients in the 2012 Ibanda outbreak (8), suggesting that bats from Kitaka Mine were a likely source of the virus.

The Hour - Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
This is the world's stupendous hour-
The supreme moment for the race
To see the emptiness of power,
The worthlessness of wealth and place,
To see the purpose and the plan
Conceived by God for growing man.
And they who see and comprehend
That ultimate and lofty aim
Will wait in patience for the end,
Knowing injustice cannot claim
One lasting victory, or control
Laws that bar progress for the whole.
This is an epoch-making time;
God thunders through the universe
A message glorious and sublime,
At once a blessing and a curse.
Blessings for those who seek His light,
Curses for those whose law is might.
Ephemeral as the sunset glow
Is human grandeur. Mortal life
Was given that souls might seek and know
Immortal truths; and through the strife
That shakes the earth from land to land
The wise shall hear and understand.
Out of the awful holocaust,
Out of the whirlwind and the flood,
Out of old creeds to Bedlam tossed,
Shall rise a new earth washed in blood-
A new race filled with spirit power,
This is the world's stupendous hour.

I have my BFA, though not using it :(
I enjoy all types of music, mostly Alternative, Classical, and some Pop. I am a mid-western, dragged to Texas for a few years, and then finally moved to CA for school. I loved the Bay Area so I stayed.
I play the piano, and remember how to play one song on the violin. I enjoy reading and can also write. I may let you read some of what I have written, we shall see.
I love Baseball and basketball. I like watching sports, however not on TV. I enjoy the outdoors, however do not get out to the great outdoors often, unfortunately.
I do watch a lot of TV and movies, but there is a partial reason for that... you will just have to find out.
Feel free to ask me anything that you would like to know. If you get an answer, I can not guarantee.
I do not believe my career will ultimately be in payroll. Currently my job is the most important thing in my life, as well as my cats, and family.
Next wold be that I am shy, but once they get to know me.....
Movies and television I can watch just about everything except horror and reality.
Music Everything, favorites are Alternative and classical.
Food I like to try new types. One great thing about living in the bay area. Do not eat seafood, though I used to.

Cops: Marine killed by elderly driver
Wrong-way crash on Pike leaves 2 dead
A U.S. Marine corporal who survived a combat tour in Iraq died Friday night when state police said an elderly man driving the wrong way on the Mass Pike slammed head-on into his car.
Robert Magee, 28, was on his way to Chicopee for reservist training, according to his family, when state police said the wrong-way driver, 84-year-old Clarence Lux of New Britain, Conn., collided with his car near Exit 6 in Ludlow at about 8:30 p.m.
Both men were taken to Bay State Medical Center, where they were pronounced dead, state police said. No injuries were reported for those in the other two vehicles involved in the four-car crash. About 15 minutes before the crash, police received "numerous" reports of a car driving on the wrong side of the road, but state police said they were unable to locate the vehicle. Trooper Todd Nolan said authorities believe it was Lux's car.
"It's every parent's nightmare," said Magee's heartbroken father, Russell. "He had such a big heart. He's going to be sorely missed."
The family of Lux, a Navy veteran and widower, said they hope to offer their condolences to Magee's parents soon.
"We just feel so terrible for them," said James Lux, who said his father rarely drove on the highway. He said he was still waiting on answers from police yesterday.
"Maybe he got disoriented," James Lux said. "We don't know. We're just in shock."
Magee, a West Bridgewater native and a jack-of-all-trades outdoorsman, became a certified scuba diver at age 12 and was passionate about finding homes for rescue dogs, Russell Magee said.
He said his son loved walking in the woods with his rescue dog, a terrier-pit bull mix named Dirty. During a walk last year, his panicked girlfriend called in state police to search for Magee after the phone went dead as he was telling her he was lost as it grew dark. But it seemed Magee didn't need rescuing. When police helicopters spotted Magee, he had already started a fire, set up camp and planned to hike out of the swampy area in the morning.
"That was just Bob," said his best friend, Sgt. Joseph Massi. "He never asked for help from anyone, but he was always the first to lend a hand. He would give you the shirt off his back without any question."
Magee and Massi joined the Marine Reserves together in 2005. Magee, who deployed to Iraq in 2009, was a diesel mechanic and certified combat lifesaver in the Marine Corps, said Massi. He was weighing whether to move into the Air Force or go back to college in the weeks before his death, according to Massi.
"He was absolutely the nicest kid you could ever meet," Massi said. "This is the worst thing to have happen to the best person."

I've been with my boyfriend for two years, although our families have been friends for years prior to us being together. Anyway, we get along great and his family likes me. Well, last year, his brother got a new girlfriend. I will admit, I am jealous that she is always at my boyfriends house staying the night with her boyfriend, which I think is kinda weird, but oh well. Because she is always around my boyfriends family, I feel as though I'm an outsider around his family now because of her constantly being there. I realize I could spend more time around his family and I do but no matter how much I try to be around, she is always there more and has more stories about things they've done. Plus, she has only been dating my boyfriends brother for almost a year but from the first time she met them she has called his parents mom and dad. My question is, am I jealous of her or is there something justifiable about how I'm feeling? And is it weird for her to call them mom and dad when they have never told us to refer to them as that? Thank you for your time and advice, I appreciate it.
Most Helpful Girl
Give that relationship max 1 month. You have nothing to be jealous about. Your boyfriends brother is going to get fed up of her real quick cause in my book she is trying too hard to get your bfs brother to commit to her and she is using the family card so that he won't be able to leave her. Don't worry and don't compare yourself.

Thanks for this note. I like a dry and woody sandalwood scent (not creamy-sweet). Would you say it is dry?
Thread: 10 Corso Como.
I bought a bottle of 10 Corso Como some time ago and only yesterday again wore it after it sat in one of my fragrance regrideraors for a while. I must say that I didn't remember it lasting so long on me. A full thirteen hours after application I can stll smell it. Impressive. If you have not tried 10 Corso Como I would very much suggest you do, especially if you like sandalwood.

This just made it onto my to test list. I used to love sandalwood, but I had a bad experience with one fume (yes, one, I know ) and decided to steer clear of it for a while. But it is so beautiful in Bois des Iles and 31 Rue Cambon that I'm excited to explore the note further. Interesting, that 10 Corso Como could be a different facet of sandalwood than I've experienced.
The way out is a way in-- NEP
I was quite disappointed with 10 Corso Como and I so wanted to love it. It's really smells awful on my skin for some reason. I may re test.

Metal Travel Mug
We Are All Writersby Stop::mashina ~Runes
20% Off + Free Worldwide Shipping on Everything Today!
Talk about steely good looks. In addition to a 360-degree wraparound design, our metal travel mugs are crafted with lightweight stainless steel - so they're pretty much indestructible. Plus, they're double-walled to keep drinks hot (or cold), fit in almost any size cup holder and are easy to clean.
On the map you can see the distribution of the world's most important and interesting scripts.
About 2.6 billion people (36%) use the Latin alphabet (grey), about 1.3 billion people (18%) use the Chinese script (yellow), about 1.2 billion people (16%) use the Devanagari alphabet (India - pink), about 1 billion people (14%) use the Arabic alphabet (green) and about 0.3 billion people (4%) use the Cyrillic alphabet (blue).
The Cree script (Kanada-yellow) is a syllabary used by nearly all Cree-speaking First Nations in Canada. Initially an invention of the English missionary James Evans to create a non-Latin writing system for Cree and Ojibwe, it was readily adopted because its appearance was unlike that of the Latin alphabet and therefore free of the stigma of colonialism.
Inuktitut syllabics (Kanada – pink) is a writing system used by the Inuit in Nunavut and in Nunavik, Quebec. In 1976, the Language Commission of the Inuit Cultural Institute made it the co-official script for the Inuit languages, along with the Latin script.
The Cherokee syllabary (USA - orange) was invented by George Guess/Gist, a.k.a. Chief Sequoyah, of the Cherokee, and was developed between 1809 and 1824.
The Epi - Olmec (Mexico - yellow) culture was a cultural area in the central region of the present-day Mexican state of Veracruz, concentrated in the Papaloapan River basin, a culture that existed during the Late Formative period, from roughly 300 BCE to roughly 250 CE. Epi-Olmec was a successor culture to the Olmec, hence the prefix "epi-" or "post-". Although Epi-Olmec did not attain the far-reaching achievements of that earlier culture, it did realize, with its sophisticated calendrics and writing system, a level of cultural complexity unknown to the Olmecs.
The Maya people created the longest lasting civilization of the New World. The Maya writing system (Mexico - orange) had an extensive set of phonetic signs that represented syllables rather than individual sounds like in alphabetic systems.
In addition to syllabic signs, the Maya script also has a large number of logograms, signs that represent words or morphemes (basic units of meaning) in the language instead of sounds.
The Elder Futhark (Scandinavia, Greenland - orange) is the oldest form of the runic alphabets. It was a writing system used by Vikings and Germanic tribes for the northwestern and Migration period dialects. Its inscriptions are found on artifacts (including jewelry, amulets, tools, weapons, and runestones) from the 2nd to 8th centuries. Vikings voyaged to points in North America, ca. 1000–1400, as they attempted to expand trade. Around the year 1000, several Viking expeditions established villages in North America. The settlements were quickly abandoned, leaving little evidence of their existence behind, though Vikings likely continued to voyage to the North American continent for several hundred years.
The Ethiopic script (East Afrika - pink) was used for the liturgical language Ge'ez as well as modern languages like Amharic (the official language of Ethiopia), Tigre, Tigrinya, and other languages of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
The Phags-pa script (Mongolia - orange) was created under the order of Khubilai, the Great Khan of the Mongols, as an official and universal script for his vast empire that stretched from China to Russia and crossed ethnic and cultural borders.
Tibetan is one of the oldest Sino-Tibetan language to be recorded. The earliest Tibetan inscriptions date from 7th to 8th century CE. (over India - red)

Customised Apple blower comes replete with gold-plate posterior.
Chances are if you've got an iPhone 4 you're pretty chuffed with having one of the world's classiest, if mildly flawed, mobiles. But a bog-standard version of Apple's T3 award-winning handset was clearly not enough for one anonymous Aussie businessman.
He commissioned renowned phone customiser Stuart Hughes to encrust two new iPhones in 500 individual diamonds, with interchangeable diamonds made to sit on the phones' home buttons. There's a pink diamond for one home button and an 8 carat single diamond for the other.
To complete the gaudy package, Hughes gold-plated the back of each phone, before sticking them in a specially designed pink granite box, lined with leather. The pair cost an eye-watering £5 million.

In loving memory of our Simon who we love so much. Simon will be greatly missed and be in our hearts forever.
"Those that think that you are gone because your face, no more they see...are wrong...for in our hearts you live and always will in memory"
"Floppy" Simon Keydle, was born on 3-11-94. His mom was a pregnant calico that kept hanging around my steps. I brought her to the vet and he said she had a few kittens ready to join the world. So I brought her inside and one night at 2 am she had Simon, Sage, Nikki and Amber. I found good homes for two but kept Simon, Sage and Mommy Cayenne. Simon was close to his Mom and quickly became larger and older but still tried to nurse, lol.
His Mommy cat would give him a friendly smack every once in awhile to get him to quit.
The babies were born at my home the same time my boyfriend was diagnosed with cancer and they kitties were of great comfort to me.
Simon was the nurturer, always cleaning the other cats, like his Mom.
His Mom died a year ago of liver cancer on May 15th and he was depressed for awhile as he was a Momma's boy.
When I took him to the vet on April 25th, (and I saw 3 vets)--they all said he had heart failure and possibly liver cancer and that I should put him down as he was not eating with them. I felt so bad and wished I could have known but my younger sister had been hospitalized for the prior two weeks and I was with her day and night, as I am all she has.
When I took Simon home a miracle happened. He was eating, playing and acting normal.
Until Mother's day when he had trouble breathing so I raced him to the vet where he stopped breathing, even though he was given air.
Before he died I asked him if he was ok and he let out a little meow, as if to answer me like he always did. He then passed.
Tomorrow the 15th and ironically anniversary of his Mom's death, we are having a funeral for him at the pet cemetary. I got him a casket and will put him in his favorite pink blanket with his fav. pink bowl. My sister will read a prayer as we say our good byes.
I will always love you, Flops. You are the nurturer of all "Keydles". Everyone in the family loved you especially my Mom who is in Heaven too. Now you are with your Mommy, "Cayenne Peppers." We miss you very much, all ur buds at home. I know you tried to hang on for me but now there is no more pain and you are one of God's Angels, watching out for us. I will hold u close in my heart forever, u r part of my family , keydle. It has been so hard watching my pets get older and pass on but I feel good about the fact I could spoil you kids and you did not end up a street kitty. Thank u for 14 years and two months of love and kisses. Love u.
Please sign the guestbook for Simon by clicking here

Photo by Lucy Nicholson, Reuters. MANILA, Philippines – It looks like Kobe Bryant's playoff guarantee may come true after all as the Los Angeles Lakers formally entered the playoff picture with a home victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday morning (Manila time). Bryant and the Lakers sneaked up on the competition in the Western Conference, snatching the eighth spot after defeating the Bulls 90-81 at the Staples Center. Dwight Howard let the way with 16 points and 21 rebounds, while Bryant had 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. Four other Lakers scored in double-figures as they led by as much as 18 points in the game. "We are playing a lot better, and we're playing the way we're supposed to," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni told NBA.com. "Now, do we have a long way to go? Yes, we do." Nate Robinson topscored for the Bulls with 19 points, while Joakim Noah (18 points, 17 rebounds) and Carlos Boozer (12 points, 10 boards) both had double-doubles. But the Bulls' offense was severely lacking, especially in the third quarter when they missed 11 straight shots while the Lakers scored 12 consecutive points to take control of the game. "(Howard) just dominated the paint with his shot blocking, rebounding, physicality," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "That set the tone for the game and they dominated us on the boards from the start." The Lakers have won eight of their last 10 games since the All-Star break to improve to 33-31. It is the first time all season that they have gone two games above .500. They are half a game ahead of the Utah Jazz for the last playoff spot in the West, and just two games behind the Golden State Warriors for the sixth seed. – Report by ANC Share Save Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Read More: NBA Los Angeles Lakers Chicago Bulls western conference /news/08/24/17/troops-retake-marawi-mosque-but-find-no-terrorists-hostages/news/08/24/17/da-bird-flu-strain-in-pampanga-is-transmittable-to-humans/video/news/08/24/17/sapul-sa-cctv-lalaki-binaril-ng-gunman-na-naka-hoodie/news/08/24/17/palace-on-aguirres-comment-kians-death-is-serious/news/08/24/17/palace-no-chinese-flag-on-kota-island

Cameco Corp.'s problems in launching ore production at the Cigar Lake uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan continue with the company now saying it won't be able to meet its 2013 production target.
Saskatoon-based Cameco, one of the world's biggest uranium producers, said on Monday that more work needs to be done before jet boring to mine ore cavities can begin.
Cameco said it now expects to start ore production in the first quarter of 2014.
There are also further mill modifications to be made and the mill is now expected to begin processing Cigar Lake ore by the end of the second quarter of 2014, the company said.
That means Cameco won't meet its forecast production of 300,000 pounds of uranium from Cigar Lake in 2013, the company said.
Cameco said it will revise its five-year production forecast.
Cameco – the world's largest publicly traded uranium producer – says 97 per cent of Cigar Lake is complete and commissioning of mining systems "well advanced."
"We're not thrilled with [the delay] but we're going to deal with it," Cameco president and chief executive officer Tim Gitzel said on a conference call Monday.
"We won't cut corners to make it happen.
"Cigar Lake is among the most technically challenging mining projects in the world and we continue to make solid progress," he said.
"Over all, we view today's announcement as negative given the 4-6-month expected delay in initial production at the 97%-constructed Cigar Lake project," Desjardins Securities analyst John Hughes said in a research note Monday.
Cameco owns about half of the project, while Areva SA of France has a 37-per-cent stake, with two other partners owning the balance.
The McClean Lake mill where the ore is to be processed is majority owned and operated by Areva Resources Canada Inc.
Cigar Lake has already experienced several delays over the past few years due to flooding and a series of technical challenges.
It is also preparing for production in a climate of uncertainty over demand for uranium and weak prices in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011, severely damaging the Fukushima-Daiichi atomic power plant and leading the country to shut down nearly all of its reactors.
The global uranium industry is counting on a recovery in prices.
Some Japanese utilities have sought authorization to restart a dozen or so of the country 48 idled facilities, Cameco said last month.
Mr. Gitzel said he expects to get a clearer picture of global demand for uranium at a conference this week in London where top officials from Japan's, China's and South Korea's nuclear industries are gathering.
Cameco said on Monday that the capital cost of the Cigar Lake project won't be materially affected by the additional work; it also said that, based on preliminary information, the capital cost of the mill modifications is not expected to be material.
But Cameco said last month its share of the capital cost for the mine project would increase by 15 per cent to 25 per cent from the previous estimate of $1.1-billion.
The unanticipated work at the mine involves sealing two tanks with steel liners; it was decided to seal the tanks, which receive the water and ore from the underground jet boring, after the discovery that slight amounts of water during testing were seeping out, said Mr. Gitzel.
Modifications at the mill involve installing ventilation and purging systems to prevent the buildup of hydrogen in the leeching circuit, Areva Resources vice-president of operations and projects Jim Corman said on the call.
Mr. Corman also said a full review by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Council is not anticipated but that company officials are keeping the CNSC abreast of developments.Report Typo/Error

I date with a guy for one month, at least 10 times.
He was clingy last week, but this weeks is weird, he text less in a day or evening, some random things, such as send me pic in snapchat, or tell me there is a new open sushi restaurant nearby, but he never asked me out again since our last date to cinema, he behaved strangely that day, he did not do physical intimacy any more, seemed like he was indifferent, when he stayed a while with me in my apt, before he went home, he hugged me, kissed my cheek, and said he love me, (i was really shocked, he is the guy who admitted he do not like say 'I like you' even).
One thing i have to say is all the things happened after I told him I only consider to have sex with the guy I am committed to.
I decided to move on, thought he is not interested into me at all, or just put me as an option. And also I plan to ignore him message, prepare to see a new guy, at the same time, I do not know should I still keep open , will see what happen in the future unless he really change and make effort to chase me
Most Helpful Guy
dont you hate that. when a guy texts you, but doesn't ask you out?

The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration is a 2003 direct-to-video animated adventure musical drama film and the tenth film in the Land Before Time series.
Littlefoot has nightmares which involve the "Great Circle". He mentions it to his grandparents, who share the experience. Grandpa has a feeling that he wants to "go somewhere", and they leave the next day with no help but sense to tell them where they were going. Out of curiosity, the others follow him, starting after them the following night. New characters are introduced throughout the film: Sue (Bernadette Peters), a Super Longneck, who is driven on by the same sense as Grandpa, joins Littlefoot, and they met Pat (James Garner), an elderly Apatosaurus. Sue is always haunted by a want to meet someone taller than her, as she towers above everyone else. Pat is slow-moving, but does arrive at the crater in time for the event. He injures his foot due to volcano activity.
However, another surprise is in store, as Littlefoot meets his father, Bron (Kiefer Sutherland), for the first time in his whole life. However, Bron isn't alone. Since parting from his now deceased wife (a song from The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists reveals that the concept of marriage does exist in The Land Before Time universe), he has become guardian to a young Brachiosaurus, Shorty, who becomes jealous of Littlefoot since Bron is spending more time with him. Bron's story is a long one. He left to find a new place to live before Littlefoot hatched, but only arrived to find that the Earthquake had destroyed everything. He later learns of Littlefoots mother being attacked by a sharptooth. In search of Littlefoot, he finds Shorty, but realizes that it's not Littlefoot. But they stay with him and he is joined by others. This repeating process makes him the leader of a herd. And the same sense brings them to the crater.
The ceremony is then revealed to be an event in which the moon overlaps the sun. Before the ceremony can take place, however, a pack of three Sharpteeth intervene and almost cause the ceremony to collapse, but they are scared off when the eclipse finally comes. With their mission completed, the herds depart. Things end happily for Sue, who meets a Taller Longneck taller than her. Knowing their true places, Littlefoot tells Bron to take care of Shorty, and returns to the Valley with his friends and grandparents.

The music was scored by Michael Tavera. This was the first film in the series that did not use James Horner's original score. It was Michael Tavera's first and so far only completely original score in the series (older themes from the previous sequels to the original film and An American Tail were not used in this installment either).
The songs are written by Michele Brourman and Amanda McBroom. The end credit song, "Best of Friends", is performed by Olivia Newton-John. A shorter version of the song "Adventuring" was heard in four episodes of The Land Before Time TV series. This was the fifth time Spike sings; he is heard humming at the end of "Adventuring", even though Rob Paulsen was not credited for performing the song.
- Adventuring - Littlefoot, Petrie, Cera and Ducky (Alec Medlock, Jeff Bennett, Anndi McAfee and Aria Noelle Curzon)
- Me and My Dad - Littlefoot (Alec Medlock)
- Bestest Friends (a.k.a. Best of Friends) - Petrie, Cera and Ducky (Jeff Bennett, Anndi McAfee and Aria Noelle Curzon)
The song, Bestest Friends is also a song sung in the End Credits.
Home video release historyEdit
- December 2, 2003 (VHS and DVD)
- September 19, 2006 (DVD - 2 Tales of Discovery and Friendship)
- August 5, 2008 (Carrying Case DVD with Fun Activity Book - 2 Tales of Discovery and Friendship - Universal Watch on the Go)[1]
The film is known internationally as "The Great Migration", rather than "The Great Longneck Migration". It was the first film in the series to use fully computer-generated dinosaurs.
Aspect RatioEdit
Even though this film was presented in full screen on DVD worldwide (since that is what aspect ratio the film was created in), the film is matted to anamorphic widescreen (cropping the top and bottom of the image) on a Hebrew DVD in Israel.[2]

|It is such a quite thing, to fall, but far more terrible is to admit it.
|~ Kreia to fallen Jedi Atris
Darth Traya, also known as, Kreia is the secondary antagonist of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. She was once a Jedi Master who was exiled by the Jedi Council due to her students following orders by Darth Revan and being Revan's master.
As a result, she founded Trayus Academy on Malachor V and turned to the Dark Side, taking the name Darth Traya. Her apprentices at the academy were Sion and Nihilus who would later betray, banish her and take her place. Losing positions as a teacher, Traya helps the Jedi Exile under the name Kreia. In the end, she betrays the Exile by revealing her true identity and kills the Jedi Masters who had exiled her. Afterwards, Surik find Traya at Malachor V. Meetra then fights and kills Traya in the end, throwing her into the pit of Malachor V right before the planet is destroyed.
The life of Kreia is shrouded in myetery as she would probably like to have it. What is knows is that she was once a historian and Jedi master who trained many students, including Darth Revan. Her method of teaching could be called unorthodox as her fellow Jedi deemed them "Kreia's Conundrums" that left her students with questions on the mysteries of the vast galaxy. Her most notable student, Revan went on to openly defy the Jedi Council during the Mandalorian Wars showing the Council that not only was he worthy of exile but as was Kreia. The Jedi Council, especially Jedi Master Atris found Kreia's teachings and students to be failures and thus they exiled Kreia from the order altogether.
After this she began to question her life as a Jedi and ultimatly abandoned them, going on to find the Trayus Academy and took it as a place for generations of Revan's fallen duplicates or followers. There she began to search for wounds in the force like Darth Sion and the Dark Lord Darth Nihilus, who became the ruler. Together the three formed a triumative with each taking on titles. Darth Nihilus as the Lord of Hunger, Darth Traya as the Lord of Betrayal and Darth Sion as the Lord of Pain. Though they were united in name, their core practices began to differ. Traya wished to use the Sith to destroy the Force forever, having come to view it as a manipulative, amoral god that caused great pain in the pursuit of an abstract principle of "balance", while Nihilus and Sion started a crusade to kill every last Jedi in the galaxy. This difference caused them to turn on her, casting her out into exile once again and cutting her off from the Force.
Seeking a New Student
Traya took on her name once more, Kreia, and began to seek out Meetra Surik also known as the Jedi Exile who had served as a general under Revan and one of Kreia's former students. After fiding the Exile, she led the exile as a teacher through the galaxy to find the remaining Jedi Council members but with an alternative goal than the Exiles. Kreia wanted another student like Revan, and hoped that Meetra would be this, but in the end she would be disappointed and have to kill Meetra, or die trying.
Kreia or Darth Traya as she was revealed once back at Malachor V in the Trayus Academy took on the Jedi Exile for the first and last time in the core of Malachor. All the while the Jedi Exile's ally Bao-Dur had rigged the planet with core detonators years ago that would still work if need be. On the exile's order, the planet would implode. In the final battle, Kreia eventually revealed secrets of what would become of the Exile's companions like Bao-Dur and Canderous Ordo or Mandalore who had served with Revan similar to how he served with Meetra. After this Kreia fell into Malachor V's core and moments later the detenator went off, with the Exile escaping with her companions.

Institutional Traps and Economic Growth
This paper's point of departure is that low-quality institutions, concentration of political power, and underdevelopment are persistent over time. Its analytical model views an equal distribution of political power as a commitment device to enhance institutional quality thereby promoting growth. The politically powerful coalition contemplates relinquishing of its power, weighing this advantageous consequence against the limit on own appropriative ability that it entails. The possibility of two developmental paths is exhibited: with concentration of political and economic power, low-quality institutions, and slow growth; and a more equal distribution of political and economic resources, high-quality institutions, and faster growth.

Redditor Mawntee shared this video. He killed a spider and was amazed by this worm-like thing coming out of it! It is hard to distinguish whether it is fascinating or disgusting!
However, Redditors quickly identified the creature as a parasite called Mermithid Worm and were also good enough to give information about the amazingly bizarre phenomenon witnessed after the spider's death!
A link that was shared explainedMermithid worms to be 'internal parasites whose infective larvae enter spiders directly or via ingested food. Once inside the spider, the tiny worm obtains nourishment from its hosts body…' They feed from the host until it is weak enough not to carry on, but strangely and amazingly enough, before the insect dies, it tries to reach a water body so that the parasite is able to survive by finding another life source!
Amazing isn't it?

it's pretty much the same... but I'd say I'm more honest here.
It's easier to talk about certain things when you are anonymous and don't know the other people. that doesn't have to mean that I would lie on the same questions irl, but I might give an evasive answer...11|00|0
Thanks for MHO
Most Helpful Girl
Uh more honest or blunt if you like it in real life. If you ask me for my opinion irl and want me to tell you what I think, don't expect me to be nice, I'd be straightforward as can be. So if most people already can't tolerate me here, they'd be worse off in real life.11|00|0
Thanks ^^
