Hey guys. We're nearing our official exit from Steam Early access, and this progress update focuses on two things: online multiplayer and story
Online multiplayer
Online multiplayer has been a big challenge for us. Because of latency, doing melee combat online is never easy. Doing it in a game where a player can easily move 3 meters between data sends (30 data sends/second), presents even more of a challenge.
Fortunately, thanks to some really clever latency compensation algorithms, we're now at the point where two teams of 8 people and hundreds of cars can all occupy the server at the same time and have a really fun gameplay experience.
Our final goal is to support 32 person servers. The main roadblock right now is bandwidth limitations - how much data the server is forced to send. As you add more players, this goes up exponentially. We're confident that with some more data optimization, we can achieve this, though 32 player support might come in a post-release patch.
We'll be releasing an alpha version of the online game to you guys very shortly.
We've finished writing the Road Redemption script and are in the process of hiring voice actors. All told, we're looking at 5 main characters (you, your mentor, the leader of all of the game's 4 gangs, and the ultimate antagonist who everyone is chasing).
Our goal with the story has always been to provide context and meaning to the game's campaign mode without getting in the way too much. We think what this accomplishes that goal.
More updates soon.

Below is an email we've been sending out to gaming news sites to help spread awareness about the once-in-500 years Louisiana flood and how it's impacted the region, and unfortunately, the development of Road Redemption:
The developers of the videogame Road Redemption (www.roadredemption.com), the Road Rash spiritual successor, are sad to report that the game's development has been stalled by to the record flooding in Louisiana.
Road Redemption's developers are based in Baton Rouge and New Orleans Louisiana. The flood devastated the region, damaging over 40,000 homes, including the home of Jason Tate, studio co-founder and senior programmer
"We hope to have the whole team back to work on Road Redemption as quickly as possible but right now our priority is making sure that everyone on the team, and their families, have a safe place to stay," said studio co-founder Ian Fisch. "We hope that all of our kickstarter backers and fans will be understanding in these tragic circumstances, and if they'd like to help they can visit www.braf.org to make a donation."
Road Redemption has sold over 100,000 standalone copies since launching on Steam Early Access in late 2014. Road Redemption was originally scheduled to release on PC on October 15, 2016, with PS4 and Xbox One versions slated for Q1 2017.
Due to the flood, Road Redemption's transition from Early Access to full release on PC platforms will be delayed until at least November 2016, with console versions suffering similar delays.
Road Redemption Press Kit: http://www.roadredemption.com/ Road Redemption Steam Store Page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/300380/
If you haven't had a chance to play the Steam version of Road Redemption recently, last week we uploaded a new PC, Mac, and Linux version of the game that's a complete overhaul of just about every element.
Everything from physics, to controls, to camera angles, to lighting, to AI, to weapon balance, to missions, to the GUI, is completely revamped and improved.
We generally don't talk about budget issues here, but in light of so many people bringing up the $4 million budget of Mighty Number 9, I think it's appropriate.
The fact is that videogame development is more expensive than people realize. Consider a team of 10 people working full-time on a game:
Assuming each of these 10 people is earning $36,000/year. This means you're paying $360,000 in employee salaries alone for a single year. Then you have to rent enough office space to accommodate 10 people. If this costs, $3000/month, then that's another $36,000. So now we're talking about $400,000 for a single year.
So when we're boasting about having sold 100,000 Early Access copies of Road Redemption, many of which were sold at a discount, you should understand that this revenue isn't making us rich - it's keeping us afloat.
We regret to inform you guys that we've indefinitely postponed Road Redemption development for Xbox 360 and PS3.
Wii U support is being evaluated in light of Nintendo's focus on their upcoming NX console.
Trying to make a 3d action game (as opposed to something like Candy Crush) on multiple platforms with disparate technical specs is not an easy thing to do. It's my opinion that attempting to do this significantly hurt the overall quality of Mighty Number 9.
Fortunately, we never attempted to create versions of Road Redemption for Vita or 3DS, which is, in my opinion, why Mighty Number 9 ended up looking significantly different from its alpha demo:
Its final art design looks to have been dictated by their lowest-spec platforms.
Of course, there are plenty of Xbox 360 and Wii U games that look graphically comparable to Road Redemption (to the untrained eye), but graphics are only one element of the equation.
Road Redemption features CPU intensive elements like physics and AI. It also uses a heavy amount of RAM for its large levels and big textures.
In terms of CPU, the Xbox One & PS4 are far more powerful than the other consoles. From a programming perspective, this often means that we can make code that's simpler and more straightforward, which means it's faster to write and easier to debug.
Could Road Redemption be made for Xbox 360? Possibly, but it would be much more time consuming and expensive.
Here's a quick example of how performance constraints have made our code more complicated: in Road Redemption, when you ram into the side of a car, a bunch of sparks and debris appear at the point of impact.
If performance wasn't an issue, an easy and clean way to make this happen would be for the code to create a brand new "collision debris" entity at the point of impact. The entity would includes a light source, a bundle of debris particles that take into account gravity and the force of impact, and an accompanying sound effect whose volume modulates based on the speed of impact. Creating a brand new entity like this is only one or two lines of code, and isn't likely to cause any bugs in the future.
Unfortunately, creating a brand new entity is a CPU-intensive thing to do. Even on PS4 and XboxOne, you'd want to recycle the entity you had already created the previous time a bike rammed into a car. Recycling entities like this requires writing code to keep track of the entity, including the light, and all of the debris particles, and the sound effect. It requires writing code to reset the the positions of all of the particles and the brightness of the light and the base volume of the sound effect whenever the entity is recycled.
This ends up being hundreds of lines of code, which means that it's another potential source for bugs, which means that this costs extra time and money.
The weaker the CPU, the more little optimization tricks like this you have to write into your code, and the more expensive it becomes to maintain.
In terms of RAM, Xbox One and PS4 have 8GB. Wii U has 2GB (though 1GB is devoted to its OS) and Xbox 360 has 0.5GB.
Having less RAM to work with doesn't just affect the look of your game, it affects the level design itself.
Remember all of those sequences in Gears of War, where, in the middle of a level, Marcus Pheonix is forced to walk around at a snail's pace?
That's because the Xbox 360 can only fit a small fraction of the level into its RAM. While Marcus Pheonix is slowly walking, the next portion of the level is being loaded into RAM. The entire level has to be designed around RAM constraints.
I can only imagine what a bind these CPU, GPU, and RAM constraints put on the Mighty Number 9 team. They promised a game that would run on an Xbox One and a 3DS (ARM CPU, PICA GPU, 0.1GB of RAM). I'm sure there was incredible internal pressure to cancel these lower-spec versions and focus their limited resources on the higher spec platforms. Obviously, we feel like this is the best course of action for us.
On a brighter note, work on the online multiplayer mode is progressing well, and we plan to have a beta version (which you guys will all be included in), by mid-next month.
At the moment, the multiplayer mode is focused around gang vs gang races, with all riders human-controlled. Two gangs race against each other, and the winner is determined by the time to cross the finish line and takedowns along the way.
One feature we like is that when someone crosses the finish line, they don't just sit around waiting for everyone else to cross. Instead, they're free to drive around the map, taking down members of the enemy team.
In terms of matchmaking, we're working on both dedicated servers that we host ourselves and the option for users to host their own games. For user-hosted games, we'll make sure that a game will only appear on the server browser if that host can actually accept incoming connections (their port forwarding is setup correctly). We're also working on a system to ban hosts who close their game in the middle of a race.
One thing that's important to me personally is making sure there's a good amount of play time between map switches. So, like in Counterstrike: GO, you'll play a number of rounds on a map before switching to the next map.
For all the backers that purchased tiers that include having an avatar or character in the game, we will be contacting you in the coming weeks to coordinate your custom in-game assets!

Hey everyone! We admittedly need to do a much better job providing updates on our development progress, so today we're announcing an improved plan to keep everyone informed. Starting with this update, we plan to provide more regular Kickstarter updates which will showcase our progress and the development leading up to the impending completion of Road Redemption.
For those of you following us on Steam Early Access, you'll know that we haven't made any updates since December and may be worried that we've stopped working on the game. Quite the opposite is true! Since January we have been focused on improving nearly every aspect of Road Redemption, and this has required us to rebuild a lot of systems before uploading a new build to Steam. Although we have taken longer than we hoped to complete the game, we are dedicated to making the game that we promised. We've recently added more developers to Road Redemption, and we're working hard to finish the great game we envisioned in our original Kickstarter pitch. In the next month or two, we should be ready to upload a new build on Steam so you'll be able to see our progress!
Here's a list of things we've been working on:
Our current plan is to finish development of the PC version by the end of this summer. As we march toward that goal, we'll be releasing several new builds on Steam Early Access to show everyone our progress. This will include a beta version of online multiplayer. For console fans, please know that we are also working toward releases on Xbox One and PS4. We'll make more announcements about console plans as we get closer to release.
Today's kickstarter update features the new improvements we're making to the user interface. This includes a complete visual overhaul. Check out the screenshots below!
We've also vastly improved how our user interface works when playing local co-op. Each player can now choose their own unique bike and rider! We've also revamped the store to allow each player to make their own purchases and uniquely gear up. This is especially important with our new weapon upgrade system - each player can now choose which type of weapon they want to focus on. We hope this will improve the local co-op experience for everyone.
Stay tuned next month for another update on our progress featuring more of the latest additions to Road Redemption.
Our friends at King Crow Studios making Quest of Souls
Our friends and fellow Louisiana based game developers, King Crow Studios, have recently launched a Kickstarter project for their 90s inspired shooter RPG called Quest of Souls. Some of our team has been helping with development, and we've partnered with Quest of Souls to include a Road Redemption bundle as one of their reward tiers. If you back this tier, you will encounter a unique speed-obsessed character called the "The Stag" and you'll receive the Quest of Souls biker background! (The main Quest of Souls characters riding cool motorcycles...yes that includes Toki the corgi!)

everytime 1-2 years after i buy and use new pair of jockey underwears they start getting holes in them. And its not only in the crotch area. its also on the sides and on the butt area as well.. why does this happen and is there a way to prevent it when i buy new pairs?
Why is my underwear getting holes?

No girls shared opinions.
What Guys Said 2
Some people's gastric excretions have extremely high acid content caused by unsanitary bung hole maintenance. I think if you try wiping at least three times after each bowel evacuation, and washing the area in question with soap and water at least once monthly, your underwear will serve you as they should.00|00|0
but then what about the sides?
Ones gastric emissions tend to disperse somewhat evenly when one is wearing pants.
No dude, because you move around while wearing underwear, you will eventually wear holes in all your clothing. You cannot prevent this from happening.00|00|0
is there no underwear brand that can prevent this?
All fabric will eventually wear out.
but so fast? in like 1.5 - 2 years?

Baby Crib Bedding
Choosing the best baby bedding set for your nursery can be a difficult task. Crib sets have so many different colors, themes and fabrics from which to choose. The Sweet Peaches Bedding staff is here to help you answer questions and offer opinions or advice so you can find the perfect baby bedding set for your new little bundle of joy. Your new blessing will require many things. You supply the love, we supply the baby bedding!
Crib Bedding Sets – So what makes a set?
In the past crib sets were comprised of four pieces: one quilt, one bumper, one crib sheet, and one dust ruffle. It is also common to find three-piece baby bedding sets that do not include the crib sheet. It is easy to find crib bedding that is available a la carte, so that you can buy only the pieces you need. Some baby bedding sets go as high as seven or even nine pieces and usually include mobiles, diaper stackers and decorative pillows. We have many crib set that fall into the luxury baby bedding category, which means the bedding is made with premium fabrics and superior construction. We also carry many budget friendly choices.
Visit our articles and resources page to learn more about finding the perfect crib bedding, selecting a theme, and important crib safety tips.

I just noticed, the listing of Services shows the same number for "Running", "Stopped", and "Installs" (which is obviously incorrect, since it should be Running+Stopped=Installs!). If you select one service from the list, you can see the correct figures for that service (see screen capture enclosed), so it's just a visualization thing - Spiceworks actually gathers the correct information.
BTW I wonder how I missed this services listing feature before - it is really neat!

Deccan Herald, from The Printers (Mysore), has registered a growth of 17,987 copies, to reach a circulation of 172,914 (ABC; July-December 2005). This helps Deccan Herald retain its No. 2 position in Karnataka among English dailies, still ahead of Vijay Times, which registered a circulation of 160,962 copies in the same period.
Speaking to exchange4media, D B Dutta, VP-Marketing and Circulation, The Printers (Mysore), said, "I think the reason for growth is the huge influx of people into Bangalore. And this influx includes all kinds of people – from students to middle management to the top management. There is a growing demand for news content, and we see that the growth is more in urban centres like Bangalore, Mangalore and Mysore."
The market has seen a boom, with The Times of India growing to a circulation of 377,157 copies (July-December 2005; ABC), up from 344,834 in the previous six-month period. Vijay Times, too, had climbed from 132,265 copies in January-June 2005 to 160,962 copies.
Deccan Herald's July to December figures have been steady through the period, from 179,866 in July to 170,812 in December. In comparison, Vijay Times' circulation stood at 136,243 in July, and rose to a high of 196,750 in December 2005, according to the ABC. The pricing of Vijay Times (Rs 1.50) is admittedly an advantage (See 'Vijay Times confident of breaking even this year; inches closer to No. 2 in Karnataka').
Said Dutta, "There is a segment of readers for whom the pricing may be a factor. But we see that even at our price, there is steady growth. And with the influx into Bangalore being from across segments, we will see further growth."
The competition in the English daily space in Bangalore is bound to get intense, with Mid Day reportedly gearing up for launch, and Deccan Chronicle, too, eyeing the Bangalore market.
Meanwhile, conscious efforts have been undertaken to fight the summer drop this year, and Deccan Herald is confident of bucking the trend. The publishers have also launched the sixth print edition of Deccan Herald, and Kannada daily Prajavani, in Mysore. Two more editions are on the cards in the current financial year.
The launch was accompanied by a lot of activities around the brand, not a norm for The Printers (Mysore). Mysore, Mysore rural, and Chamraj Nagar areas that were previously catered to from Bangalore, will now be addressed by the Mysore editions. The initial print run in Mysore is set at 9,000 copies for Deccan Herald, and 25,000 copies for Prajavani.
On the day of the launch, April 30, 2006, the publishers had organised roadshows, with processions by cultural troupes (Dollu Kunita) across Mysore. This was followed by a motorcycle rally on May 2, and a bicycle rally on May 3. Hoardings and banners were also used to the hilt, while the publications reached out to Mysore with a four-page 'multi-colour power jacket' that included rare photographs, stories and snippets on the history and culture of Mysore. Along with the Mysore edition, the issue also had a 16-page special feature in both Deccan Herald and Prajavani, covering several aspects on Mysore – a 'collector's item'.
Over the next few days, extensive cultural and outdoor activities have been lined up to keep the citizens of Mysore entertained, and to create a sense of bonding with the publication.

New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) released a new order as part of its Reforming the Energy Vision, which includes ambitious language on performance-based compensation and improved rate design. Specifically, the NYPSC adopts an outcome-based approach to measuring performance, focusing on peak demand reduction and energy efficiency as key metrics to tie to revenue in the short term.
Electric Power Sector: Market Design
A Review of Alternative Rate Designs
This review offers a comprehensive meta-analysis of utility programs and industry research on time-based and demand charge rates. The research identifies key design decisions and their effect on outcomes such as peak reduction, total load reduction, and customer acceptance. The review provides detailed and broad empirical evidence to guide conversations as different regulators consider changes to net energy metering or other peak reduction programs.
Utility Regulatory and Business Model Reforms for Addressing the Financial Impacts of Distributed Solar on Utilities
This study highlights some of the challenges and opportunities for the distributed solar PV (DPV) market arising from recent rate reform efforts, particularly demand charges and fixed charges. For example, it finds that immediate elimination of net energy metering (NEM) in all states could reduce residential DPV deployment 30 percent by 2050, while universal availability of NEM would increase residential deployment by roughtly 40 percent.
Going Deep on Performance-Based Regulation
Performance-based regulation shifts utility focus away from capital investment and sales volume, putting focus instead on delivering value for customers—in the form of an affordable, reliable, and clean power system. Performance-based regulation has been gaining momentum in several states. To support those states and others considering this regulatory change, we have produced several papers and briefs that offer perspective on more of the details of performance-based regulation.
Designing a Performance Incentive Mechanism for Peak Load Reduction: A Straw Proposal
This white paper is the first in our Incentive Mechanism Design series, which offers perspective on how regulators might decide to design performance incentive mechanisms for success. The paper examines a straw proposal for a new performance incentive to motivate utilities to reduce peak demand–a driver of investment in the electricity system–improving the affordability and environmental performance of the electricity system.
A customer-centric view of electricity service
This chapter in Future of Utilities – Utilities of the Future explores the nature of the customer-grid interface from the point of view of the customer. Customers are reconsidering the compromises they make given their new options for distributed energy services. This chapter exposes the underlying nature of the transactions happening at the customer/grid interface. The chapter uses analogies from the commerce and finance world to describe the currency-like features of electricity, and proposes ways of integrating new transactions into a future "fractal" grid.
The Market Design Initiative: Enabling Demand-Side Markets
This paper offers a set of recommendations for enabling demand response in order to fully participate in Europe's wholesale markets. In the short term, it recommends electricity prices should begin to reflect time-varying value of energy, and wholesale markets should establish a right for demand response to participate. In the long term, policymakers should mandate time-varying pricing for all customers; adopt codes and standards encouraging smart appliances, EVs, and in-home automation; reform utility business models to encourage demand response; and improve local value signals via integrated distribution system planning.
Teaching the Duck to Fly: Second Edition
This report is an update to a 2014 analysis that shows how grid managers can address the so-called "duck curve" caused by high penetrations of solar and wind power. A "flying duck" refers to shifting the late-afternoon and morning peaks to decrease the need for fast-ramping resources. The report outlines 10 strategies, including demand response, storage, time-variant rates, and retiring inflexible generators with high minimum run requirements.
California 2030 Low Carbon Grid Study
This study investigates how California's electric sector can help achieve deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Modeling results from Phase I of the study reveal that the state can reduce emissions by more than 50 percent below 2012 levels with minimal rate impact, minimal renewables curtailment, and at not cost to reliability. Phase II adds new insight, adding detailed flexibility analyses and examining the effects of drought and different resource mixes on the grid.
Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Technical Potential in the United States: A Detailed Assessment
This study finds the total national technical potential of rooftop solar PV equates to 39 percent of total national electric sector sales, nearly doubling previous estimates. Because the results are estimates of technical potential, they do not consider what would be required to integrate all the potential PV-generated energy into the power system. In practice, the integration of a significant quantity of rooftop PV into the national portfolio of generation capacity would require a flexible grid, supporting infrastructure, and a suite of enabling technologies.

My other half has always made jokes about "peepy-hole bras" so I decided to surprise him with some new lingerie at the weekend. Having a rather large set of knockers, I was concerned that I was going to look bloody awful. Lets just say I won't be wearing the bra when I do the weekly shop – but for use in private its a fun addition to my underwear drawer!
My nipples are considerably more sensitive now they're pierced. Previously, I didn't get a lot of pleasure from them being played with. It's not that I didn't enjoy it as part of the overall experience, but I didn't get much from it. I always felt a bit disappointed seeing as my boobs are such a prominent part of my curviness!
Now its a very different story. They feel utterly sensational.

About Us
Potters Cookshop is the extension of the long-established Essex-based 'Potters of Hockley'. The Potters brand dates back to 1909 when it was founded by Inifer Potter who first established a general store and grocery before going on to expand into different departments.
After the war Deny's Potter took over from his father and began a gradual transformation of the business, modernising the shop front in the 1960's and extending again in the 1970's. In 2008 the store was again extended to cater for a growing range of products and in 2009 the brand turned 100 years old.
Since then the store has undergone further transformations to make it even bigger and able to offer more exciting brands and items. To celebrate the launch we undertook a full week of exciting events with special guests including TV chef and School of Wok founder Jeremy Pang and Great British Bake Off Winner Candice Brown.
Even after 100 years, the Potters brand remains completely independent and family run.

early bed times
Its going on 730 here and as i sit in my room i can hear the laughter of children from the house out back. I sit in my quiet room folding laundry and wonder ... Do I put my children to bed too early? Its still light outside and i remember being a kid and complaining how we shouldn't go to bed so early and here I am putting my children to bed at 7pm.
Now my 1yr old is just about out, since switching to her toddler bed a couple weeks ago she has been going to bed easier most days. My 4yr old gets 1 movie at bed time if he was good throughout the day so he is enjoying himself toy story 2 (he is obsessed with buzz and woody).
and although its quiet and now mommy time i cant help but think with the screaming laughter i hear from across the yard at 4 boys no older than 10 and as young as 3 -- do i put mine to bed too early?
obviously it works for my household and my sanity for bedtime to be at 7. What time do your kiddos go to bed? do you have different bedtimes for different ages?

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Former Penn men's soccer goalkeeper DannyCepero made seven saves to help the New York Red Bulls punch their ticket to the MLS Cup Championship. Cepero secured his second consecutive shutout to help his team defeat Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference final and advance to face the Columbus Crew for the league title on Nov. 23 in Carson City, Calif.
The Red Bulls faced the Crew three times this season, going 2-1 in those meetings and outscoring Columbus 6-4. Cepero got his first minutes in goal against the Crew on Oct. 18. He made MLS history in that game by scoring a goal, something no other MLS keeper has done. The Red Bulls won that game 3-1.

BWW Reviews: Cherry Creek Theatre Presents Solid Performances in BABY the MUSICAL
A heartwarming musical about nature's miracle told from three different generations, Cherry Creek Theatre presents a forgotten Broadway treasure; BABY! the MUSICAL (book by Sybille Pearson, music by David Shire with lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr.) playing now through June 23rd. Three couples, each newly expecting a child, have different but familiar reactions. Lizzie and Danny are university juniors who have just moved in together. Athletic Pam and her husband, Nick, a sports instructor, have had some trouble conceiving. Arlene, already the mother of three grown daughters, is unsure of what to do, contemplating abortion while her husband Alan is thrilled with the thought of a new baby. Throughout the show, these characters experience the emotional stresses and triumphs, the desperate lows and the comic highs, that accompany the anticipation and arrival of a baby.
First, I must say that these couple were paired properly and played so well off each other to deliver funny and emotional performances. I am always in awe when I get the chance to experience Megan Van de Hey onstage. Her grasp of her characters is truly master class and not only does she give an exceptional performance every time, but she completely embodies these diverse roles. She brought a wide range of comedy and tragedy to the role of Arlene and her interpretation of Patterns was mesmerizing. Brian Walker Smith as her husband, Alan was also excellent and the two of them played so well off each other (I loved their tender song, What If We Had Loved Like That). I will be looking for this talented actor in future productions. Scott Severtson brought a touching and heartfelt performance to the role of the determined Nick. He and his wife, Pam (wonderfully played by Shannan Steele) had amazing chemistry and I loved their performances of Romance and With You. Drew Hirshboeck as the new young father, Danny was good, but I would have liked to have seen more range from his character. Even with that, he did a great job with his song, I Chose Right (although I must point out that if you are going to mime playing a guitar and know your fingering, then just play it). I was truly impressed with Emily Ann Luhrs as the newly expecting mother, Lizzie. She had an amazing singing voice and drew the audience with her emotional performance especially with The Story Goes On. Scene-stealer Ben Dicke was having fun in his varied roles and made each minor character hilarious and memorable.
Director Pat Payne brought together some great talent for this show and their chemistry as couples was spot on and kept the production flowing without being bogged down in the subplots or melodrama. He really showed a tender insight into this touching show and brought new life into this show. Rob Lowe as music director was impressive and talented and made the two keyboards work for him making it sound like an entire symphony hiding amongst the rugs. Choreographer Piper Lindsay Arpan was thoughtful in her movements and kept the energy high even in this little space. Production designer Richard H. Pegg's simplicity was key to making this set effective with one main platform with a bed and four larger than life building blocks. I was truly amazed at the transformation of this store into a functional theater.
This heartwarming story with solid performances gives an inspired rebirth to this forgotten piece of Broadway history and should not be missed! Cherry Creek Theatre proudly presents BABY, the MUSICAL touching audiences now through June 23rd at the Shaver-Ramsey Showroom, 2414 East 3rd Ave in Cherry Creek, CO. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 6:30 p.m. For tickets or more information, contact the box office at 303-800-6578 or online at www.cherrycreektheatre.org.

Are there any shows, or animes that either got cancelled or ended badly that you'd like to see have a second(third, etc) season to? Or perhaps a movie that didn't quite tie up loose ends. Or maybe you just want to see where the characters are now. Oh yeah, books and mangas are allowed too
I mostly want the old Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network back(as many of you may already know).

Please confirm that you want to add Mind Mastery Training Level I - The 4 Elements to your Wishlist.
Read people fast, lead, influence and connect with others using the strategy of the 4 Elements.
You are about to learn a powerful tool that will give you the ability to speed read people in real time, decode their sentiments, understand their behaviours and get an immediate insight into their mindset.
Understanding the personality type of any individual who crosses your path will make your perceptions clear, your judgements sound and your ability to connect with others effortless.
Have you ever wished you could understand people better? Have you ever wondered, what invisible strings of their mind make them react in a certain way and whether this can be changed?
Think of the advantages you could have if you could glimpse a part of their inner world and be able to truly comprehend (and predict!) their responses.
On the other hand, how wonderful it would be to become yourself a person who can instantly adapt to any circumstances and have an upper hand in every situation! Wouldn't it be a great skill to have?
The secret is – to understand others, you must first learn to understand yourself.
This course is going to teach you the principles of human personality, as seen through the prism of the four Elements we all know – Fire, Earth, Air and Water, and how to use them to empower yourself.
Too many people are trying to shape their lives without understanding their real nature - or even going against it! - which obviously creates struggle and unhappiness. Learning your natural rhythm and living in alignment with it will set you mentally and emotionally free, transform both your interaction with the world and the quality of your life.
If you run a business or your job involves a lot of personal interaction with clients – such as in coaching, counselling, sales, marketing or customer service, you may find the information you find here to be your secret key to a greater success, which will transform your results from good to outstanding.
If you simply want to find a way of empowering yourself, discover your own unique niche and build better relationships – this is the course you've been looking for.
But it's not all.....
Taking this course is an important step on your self-development journey, and you are going to discover a lot of new information. I believe though that the full learning process needs to be multichannel and interactive to provide the best value for the students - and I did my best to help you achieve the best results.
Here's what you can enjoy completely FREE when you enroll on this course:
* An adapted version of my book, 'The Master Of The Elements', that has been created especially for my students - 98 pages - $15 value
* A complete set of the highest quality HD video meditations for each Element - a powerful mix of binaural beats, NLP and hypnosis for a greater effect - $40 value
* A chance to win a FREE PERSONAL SESSION with me through Skype, (Q&A or coaching, your choice. 60 minutes) - $250 value
* 35% OFF (more than a quarter of a price!) entry ticket to ANY of my events for a year - minimum $500 value
* Lifetime VIP access to ALL my learning resources, including paid webinars, podcasts, books and future courses discounts!
"I've just won a contract with the biggest financial services company in the world, to design their brand new product. This task involves me using the skills of all 4 Elements. I wouldn't have achieved it without the solid foundations of this course." - Michael D.
"I went through the Master of Elements course again. It is such a gold mine! I get richer and richer every time I go through it. Seriously…your principles allow me to read people lightning fast and profile prospective clients before they've even said a word. Eye-opening, practical and effective techniques for any leader." - Marcus O.
"Loved this course, it's concise and intense, and gives excellent value. It helped me see my relationships, both business and private, in a new light. I can't emphasise enough, what a massive difference it has made in my life." - Anthony T.
Why not make TODAY the day you start transforming your life?:)
You are about to learn a powerful tool that will give you the ability to speed read people in real time, decode their sentiments, understand their behaviours and get an immediate insight into their mindset.
Before you start, though, I have a word of warning for you.The knowledge of the Elements is a key to Personal Power. It is not a toy, it is a real life weapon. Take it with responsibility and use it for good.
Understanding a Leading Element or Elements of a person gives you an instant insight into his inclinations, likes and dislikes, types or response, as well as the typical problems he may be dealing with. What is more, it will give you a secret 'shortcut' to solving those problems faster and more effectively.
You will be able to convince, influence and connect on a much deeper level that ever before. The information you are about to read will make it possible for you to truly understand other people's motives and to profile others with an ease of a professional psychologist – instantly and without any complicated paper tests. You will be able to predict their behaviour and their responses with a precision that will amaze those around you.
In this course, we will cover everything you need to know to become the 'Master of Elements' – the rest is just practice. To be able to make this power truly yours, you will have to exercise your new skills and train your observation, until this knowledge becomes a part of your nature.
We will start from a general description of each element, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses as well as ways through which every element can be successfully developed.
Next, we will discuss the general patterns, or the ways the elements can mix together and what to expect from their combinations. I will also share some practical steps for developing or subduing the Elements of your choice.
We will also cover the subject of love and relationships. You will learn about the predilections and expectations in love of different Elements and how you can make yourself appear irresistible to any type you would like to be in a relationship with.
The last part of the course contains some practical exercises to help you get the real feel of how the system works and be able to instantly put it into practical use.
How well do you know yourself? If you want to discover what Element or Elements are the strongest in your personality, answer this quiz and find out!
There are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers here, but the Udemy system requires that I mark one answer as 'the correct one', so I put everywhere A as a default.
At the end, just count how many answers A, B, C or D you have. You can choose more than 1 answer to every question, just write them down as you're doing through the test.
This mini-test is to give you an idea of how the Elements system works. Treat it as your road' map, rather than an in-depth personality assessment. For the full version of this test please refer to the Master of the Elements' book included in your course.
A brief overview of the principles and the history of the concept of the Four Elements (or the four aspects) of human personality..
To get the maximum value out of your course, please download your course book now and read it through as you are progressing.
This lecture gives you both the positive and the negative traits of the Element of Fire, as well as the ways of developing the features you desire to have.
The elemental division of human types goes beyond the scope of behaviours and encompasses also the looks, fashion styles and preferred surroundings. All associations are clear and intuitive, structured in a way that is easy to understand and remember.
You must keep in mind, however, that the pure manifestations of each element, in their 'textbook form', are rarely seen. The majority of people balance a mixture of all elements in varied proportions. This will be explained in more detail later in the course.
Remember, there are no 'good' and 'bad' elements. Each element has its weaknesses and its strengths – it is 'a double-edged sword'.
Determination, positive attitude and conscious effort can bring the best out of each element, whereas the lack of mental strength and moral guidelines and can open the door to its lowest manifestations.You can also subdue any excess by emphasising the qualities characteristic for the opposite element.
The personality is being developed in alignment with a certain element or elements as a result of conscious or subconscious personal choices, supported by natural predispositions.
Knowing the main 'building blocks' of your own personality will help you understand yourself better and streamline your self-development work in your desired direction.
For a more detailed explanation, read the Fire section of your textbook.
Find out the main features of Earth as a part of human personality, it's strengths and weaknesses and how to develop Earth for improved stamina, discipline and financial wellbeing.
For a more detailed explanation, read the Earth section of your textbook.
Discover what an Air person is like - know what to expect from them and what the aspect of Air can help you with.
For more detailed description, have a look at the Air chapter in your textbook.
Discover the typical qualities of the Element of Water, learn how to connect with it, and how to unlock the benefits it has to offer.
This lecture explains typical Elemental setups you can come across. After having learnt about each Element, it is now time for you to find out how they can mix and match. I recommend that after watching this lecture you go outside and practice analysing your friends and other people you know, so you have a first-hand experience in how different Elements and their combinations manifest themselves through people's looks, behaviours and responses.
Apart from attending my physical class, this is the best way you can really learn how to use your knowledge about the Elements in practice.
This part of your course is designed to offer you a practical understanding of how the Elements system works, as well as train your observation and analytical skills.
Take pen and paper and try to answer all the questions yourself first. You can use some photos of your friends and family (people who you know well) to help you create association links. You have a choice between listening to the audio or printing out the exercises from the document attached.
The correct answers are included at the end of the 'Exercises & Keys' booklet, so make sure you download it to check your results.
These exercises are provided to help you remember the material as well as gain an intuitive understanding of the typical behaviours and responses of people depending on their Leading Element(s).
For more exercises, please refer to the Exercises PDF included in the course.
This is an HD video meditation with binaural beats to help you awaken the Fire part of your personality so you can benefit from the new avenues of expression and opportunities it offers in your life.
The Fire Element in your life is synonymous with love, courage, passion, enthusiasm and zeal for life. The spirit of Fire is the spirit of a leader, who is capable of taking action, living the life to the fullest and inspiring others.This meditation is designed to help you unlock and develop these qualities.
Many people, when trying to expand their channels of expression, make a mistake of developing a 'mask' instead of building up a new channel that will really make a difference in their lives. If they don't know how to 'rewire' their subconscious, they end up having various 'masks' representing courage, self-confidence and engagement to the outside world. The problem with such 'masks' is that they are not congruent to those people's true nature, and therefore their results are unreliable and don't last.
Using this meditation will speed up your progress and ensure that you grow your Fire in a natural and congruent way that truly empowers you.
For the best results, open the video full screen, use your headphones and choose morning or noon for your practice.
FAIR WARNING: These meditations are very powerful. They combine elements of hypnosis, NLP and binaural beats for the maximum effect.
They may be different from everything you have experienced so far, as they are designed to work best for the Western mind. Please observe the basic rules of meditation practice when using them. Remember that you should restrain from practicing when you are:
1. Feeling tired and sleepy
2. Under the influence of alcohol or had a big meal
3. Under the influence of strong negative emotions
>> You can listen to the tracks anytime and as many times during the day as you want; however, I recommend that you practice Fire and Air in the morning and Water and Earth in the afternoon, if possible. <<
You may find that depending on your Dominant Elements, practicing certain meditations can be easier than others, or there may even be those you find challenging. If you find a guided meditation for a particular Element difficult for you, leave it for a while and practice other methods of growing your desired Element, as described in your handbook. After a while, come back and listen to the meditation again to track your progress. When the Element you are working on starts becoming stronger, you will find that you naturally resonate and enjoy the meditation that you might have found difficult before.
Using the guided meditation will make it very easy for you to develop the Elements of your choice as well as monitor your results.
This is an HD video meditation with binaural beats to help you awaken the Earth aspect of your personality so you can benefit from the new avenues of expression and opportunities it offers in your life.
The Earth Element in your life is synonymous with health, stability, well-being and financial security. The spirit of Earth is the spirit of a protector, who encourages growth and prosperity on all levels. Earth stands for discipline, laser-like focus and the ability to stay present in the moment.
This meditation is designed to help you unlock and develop these qualities.
This is an HD video meditation with binaural beats to help you awaken the Air aspect of your personality so you can benefit from the new avenues of expression and opportunities it offers in your life.
The Air Element in your life is synonimous with inner freedom, integrity, exceptional memory and learning abilities, as well as the skill of communication and persuasion. A strong Air aspect will help you with networking, making contacts, obtaining valuable information and staying true to yourself.This meditation is designed to help you unlock and develop these qualities.
This is an HD video meditation with binaural beats to help you awaken the Water aspect of your personality, so you can benefit from the new avenues of expression and opportunities it offers in your life.
The Water Element in your life is synonymous with love, kindness, compassion and highly developed intuition. Accessing the qualities of Water means gaining the ability to create a deep and meaningful connection with other people, as well as freeing your intuition, which can guide you to the best decisions both in your private life and your business.
This video contains a short explanation on how you can use additional features to benefit from this course more.

For over 15 years I have been focused on working with groups and private students around the globe, helping them discover and harness their mind's true power and overcome procrastination, indecision and willpower pitfalls that could otherwise stand in their way to success.

I work with those who want to reach above and beyond what other think is possible. People who want leave their mark on the world and they know they can!
I run Western mind mastery seminars and masterclasses in London and other cities, where you can learn what it means to feel truly powerful, to discover the thrill of accessing the phenomenal resources of your own mind, transforming the way you deal with life challenges, but even more importantly so you can become who you always wanted to be.

They both print the same thing.
PHP Code:
class student{
public function show_name(){
echo 'Test';
echo student::show_name();
$object = new student();
echo $object->show_name();
They both print the same thing.
PHP Code:
class student{
public function show_name(){
echo 'Test';
echo student::show_name();
$object = new student();
echo $object->show_name();
they only print the same thing if you have all error messages turned off (which isn't a good idea for developing). When you turn them on again, the first variant will spill out a warning:
But this message is a gross understatement. This is not about adhering to some coding style standards. Calling a non-static method in a static way (with the class as the receiver) is simply wrong and will lead to severe errors when you try to refer to $this within the method. A real programming language like Java would abort with a fatal error saying something likeCode:Strict Standards: Non-static method student::show_name() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\test.php on line 9
So only the second variant is correct. The first one completely relies on PHP's sloppiness.Code:Called non-static method in static context
So? Does that mean that error_reporting(-1) has no effect? Then I'm pretty sure there's another way to get the error messages (which should be explained in the documentation).
How it's run doesn't matter at all. I mean that, not at all.Originally Posted by zxcvbnm
You should never call a non-static method in a static way. I repeat never. Jacques explained why, and he is 100% correct.
Use this as an example in your code...
You will get an error no matter how your running it because this is the wrong way to do it. I can't remember if this is a fatal error or not... because I won't try to do things this way (as it's the wrong way to do it).PHP Code:
class student{
public $name;
public function show_name(){
echo $this->name;
If you call a non-static member in static context and you're already deep within another object, even WEIRDER things happen. Check this out:
Prints:PHP Code:
class a {
public $foo = 'bar CLASS A';
public function doIt() {
class b {
public $foo = 'bar CLASS B';
public function getFoo() {
echo $this->foo;
echo "\n";
echo get_class();
echo "\n";
echo get_class($this);
echo "\n";
$a = new a();
The explanation of WHY isn't really important (PHP internally falls back to the last valid $this) but if you call a non-static method statically, $this could be pointing to a completely unrelated object and you'll never figure it out. Only call a method statically if it was designed to be static and is marked with the static keyword. Adding the 'static' keyword to the code above causes it to die the way it should.Code:bar CLASS A b a

The second and final qualification motor (QM-2) test for the Space Launch System's booster is seen, Tuesday, June 28, 2016, at Orbital ATK Propulsion Systems test facilities in Promontory, Utah. During the Space Launch System flight the boosters will provide more than 75 percent of the thrust needed to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth, the first step on NASA's Journey to Mars.
The booster was tested at a cold motor conditioning target of 40 degrees Fahrenheit –the colder end of its accepted propellant temperature range. When ignited, temperatures inside the booster reached nearly 6,000 degrees. The two-minute, full-duration ground qualification test provided NASA with critical data on 82 qualification objectives that will support certification of the booster for flight. Engineers now will evaluate these data, captured by more than 530 instrumentation channels on the booster.

What to Do When Your iPhone Won't Turn On
iPhone Won't Turn On: This has happened to everyone: You press the POWER button on your iPhone, iPod or iPad, but nothing happens. The screen remains black, the device doesn't respond to buttons, switches, or touchscreen input. It may exhibit one or more of these symptoms, even when you press the Home button a few times. It doesn't wake from sleep after you press the Sleep/Wake button. It just appears frozen or unresponsive to any command, such as "Slide to Unlock" or "Slide to Power Off".
As a rule, the solution is at hand: either the iOS has crashed and needs to be rebooted or your battery has run down.
To get your device working again in a few seconds, the following steps are necessary:
1) Unless you are certain that there is plenty of charge left on the battery, connect the phone to a wall charger for at least twenty minutes. See if the device turns on and continue charging it until the battery is fully charged. Well, if it was a low battery that caused the problem, the phone will come on by itself. If it won't, go to the next step.
2) Hold the HOME and POWER (aka SLEEP) at the same time. An Apple logo will appear in 10 – 20 seconds. Now release the buttons and wait about a minute. The iPhone should be back to normal.
If just holding the two buttons doesn't work, toggle the Mute switch a couple of times before step 2. Sometimes it helps.
You may also get an error message, or a picture of a USB plug, a iTunes or a persistent Apple log may appear on the screen. In this case you will need to restore your phone with iTunes: connect the device to your computer and open iTunes. If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode. Then restore it. If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple (the firmware might be corrupted or a mechanical problem has arised).
If nothing of the previous works, either your cable or your charger are defective, or your phone is broken. Try then different cables and chargers to isolate the problem. (If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device).
If it still is dead, take your iPhone, the charger and the cable to an Apple store for diagnosis.
(Yes, you can try and restore the device to factory settings, but this erases all the data and settings on your phone
In rare circumstances, the issue might be that your iPhone won't turn on and boot up properly. Usually, in this case phone tries to start, gets to the silver Apple logo, and then restarts itself. This happens when trying to install an iOS update without enough battery life and in some other cases. If you're facing this problem, try putting your phone into DFU mode and resetting it.

The teachers are PHENOMENAL! Ms. Bree, Ms. Jamie, Ms. Pat, Ms. Hope, and the rest of the staff are THE BEST! They are so caring, loving and amazing! Every morning my daughter would get ready for school by herself. (Even on the weekends she would get up at 7:00 am and get ready for school. )
When my daughter graduated from the Kindergarten program, she cried. She did not want to leave. Ms. Bree taught dance and my daughter loved it! Everyday she would come home showing us what new dance and moves she learned.
I have no problem recommending parents to attend SLC. This is the best school in the Valley! - Ruthie W., reviewed Fall of 2014 on Yelp
My daughter has been attending this center for 2 years now. As an only child with two working adults, it has been a wonderful place for her to grow and learn. The staff is beyond words. They are so caring and kind. The know not only every child's name, but also the parents. It is just a joy to be able to trust them with the care of my little one.
She is currently in the pre-K program, and Mrs. Cindy runs a phenomenal classroom. She has the kids respect (along with the parents). It is just a continuation of the environment my daughter has been in since day 1.
Mrs. Ricole is the director, and she is always available to answer any concerns that we have. She and her front desk staff truly offer a lot of help with scheduling and other minor issues that always seem to pop up.
If you get the chance to send your child here, you will not be disappointed in the quality of care. Worth every penny. - Carlton W., reviewed Fall of 2014 on Yelp
We have two little ones (3 and 1) in the SLC system and they both love it (both started at 8 months). I'm always surprised when I hear my 3yr old say something clever or give me the correct answer when I'm quizzing him on something and think, "Where did you learn that?" My wife and also find it fun when he can teach us a new song that he sings with his class. I was also shocked when all the staff that we pass when dropping the kids off could call our kids by name. My 1 yr old almost jumps out of my arms and into her teacher's when I drop her off. We were referred to this school and haven't looked back since. Keep up the great work. – Dave Klann, reviewed on Raintree Google Places
I completely agree with TC. SCCLC is one of the rare "day cares" that actually focuses on the kids… this is not a babysitting facility – they actually educate and work on forming kids into active, respectful, happy little people. There is always an open and welcome line of communication with parents, and the tuition policies are very parent-friendly. I have a toddler and an infant at the Kierland location, and SCCLC is the simply the BEST we've experienced or heard of! - Karen Burke Evers, reviewed on SLCatKierland Facebook Reviews
SLC is dynamite! My son has been going to SLC since November 2009 and my husband and I could not be more happy. Out of the 13 children that he started out with, 8 of them are still together and in the same class, 2 children are in the class below because of birth dates and 3 children have either moved or stayed at home with mom because of the birth of a new baby. I have NOT heard of one child that has left SLC to go to another school.SLC provides 3 different playgrounds based on your child's age and physical ability. The infant playground is padded and surround by a security fence that includes age-friendly toys. The toddler playground is huge with plenty of space to run and play. There are plenty of bikes, balls and toys for each child to have one while playing. The grass is artificial on this playground which is great for the toddlers when they take "spills". The teachers are incredible and the turnover is practically none. All of my son's teachers have been patient and understanding with regard to teaching my son as he grows and communicating behavioral situations that need more attention when needed. We work as a team! Hands down LOVE SLC! – McKenzie Simmons, reviewed on Citysearch.com
We have both our daughters at SLC Raintree – we are thrilled with all of the teachers and members of the SLC family! Have now been thru rooms #1-14 in our many years watching them graduate their way thru each class and everyone is FANTASTIC…the best part of all is our daughters are safe, secure, loved, educated, challenged and HAPPY! – Michele Alldredge Beyer, reviewed on SLCatRaintree Facebook Reviews
My son who is now in 1st grade attended and my daughter is currently attending SCCLC. My kids are two years apart but my daughter has had most of the same teachers that my son had. I am very happy to see the same teachers stay for so long. I feel very comfortable in the fact that this school can truly care for and teach my daughter (as they did for my son). I am at stay-at-home mom and one of my favorite aspects of this school is that you do not have to set a schedule and you only pay for the days that your child is there. I also love the Christian based learning. It is very refreshing that there are still people who want to thank God for their lunch! - reviewed by a parent on GreatSchools.org
What a wonderful learning experience for little ones, in a very caring, safe environment. We had wonderful teachers, I strongly recommend them. – reviewed by a parent on kudzu.com
This preschool is far superior to any other child care I have seen or heard of from my friends. The teachers are awesome, my kids have absolutely loved every single one they have had over the years. My eldest is in 1st grade now, and is at the top of his class, which I attribute to Scottsdale Learning Centers. They have always responded with genuine care and action whenever I have had a question or possible concern. Definitely recommend them to anyone! – Robin Smith, reviewed on SmartGuy.com
My oldest daughter (almost 3!!) loves her teachers and her friends. She's been at SLC at Raintree since she turned 1 and has progressed through different classrooms and teachers with her same friends. When she came home counting to 10 in Spanish, and telling me about the "whole wide world," I knew she was in the right place. I looked and looked for daycare before we placed her here, and the moment I walked into SLC at Raintree and Cher told me, "we hold the babies all day, all week long when they first arrive. We're just like grandma's house," I felt like this was the place for my child and now my children. My second daughter (now almost 1) has been attending SLC at Raintree since August. I love this place; it feels like family! – Jennifer Clark, reviewed on Raintree Google Places
A warm, wonderful environment! We just enrolled our second child after an amazing 2-year experience with our first. Throughout all of the classrooms the teachers are welcoming and genuinely interested in each child. Their meals and snacks are always nutritious and kid-appropriate. The management staff welcomes calls throughout the day from parents wanting to check-in. The kids not only get a chance to play and socialize with other children their own age, but learn wonderful foundational material. An amazing experience! - Angie Miller, reviewed on Kierland Google Places
Loving, kind teaching enviorment. Very clean and organized. Best childcare school in the valley!!! Feel so lucky to have found this school! – Taun Adams, reviewed on Kierland Google Places
Enrolling our daughter in Scottsdale Child Care and Learning Center at Raintree has been a wonderful blessing. One of the most difficult things we have experienced as parents is "letting go" of our daughter and entrusting someone to care for her in a safe and nurturing manner. Cher and her entire staff are kind and compassionate, and attentive to the individual needs, fears, and concerns of each family. They have reached beyond our expectations with genuine efforts to make our daughter feel excited about her "new school". We are always welcomed with a warm smile from Cher and ReAnne, and encouraged to "check-in" at any time throughout the day, which was especially comforting and reassuring in the beginning weeks. The transition for our daughter has been a pleasant expereince and one that we are VERY thankful for. She has learned to do many new and exciting things; the daily lesson plans are well-structured and include engaging activities that are age-appropriate and fun art projects; which she really enjoys! Her teacher, Ms. Angela, always welcomes her with a great BIG hug whenever we enter the class room (tremendously helpful when good-byes are tearful), thank-you Ms. Angela! We are grateful to everyone at Scottsdale Child Care and Learning Center at Raintree who have embraced our daughter in so many thoughtful and kind-hearted ways ~ including Ms. Susie. Like most parents, we struggle with our daughter's food "preferences", and Ms. Susie has been wonderfully helpful in our efforts for her to try new foods (a work in progress!). We would encourage anyone to visit the center when choosing a daycare/ preschool. Although one of the most dificult decisions we have had to make, it is DEFINITELY one of the best! – Boris, Teresa & Sophia Najac , reviewed on 10/13/2010 - Scottsdale, AZ

Pilgrims Manned Guarding Award Results
Pilgrims Group
: 29 September, 2010
(Company News)
Security company Pilgrims Group has recognised its most outstanding team members in the annual Manned Guarding Awards
Security and
Risk Management
expert Pilgrims Group held the company's third annual Manned Guarding Awards this spring; proudly rewarding its security officers for their dedication and commitment throughout the past year.
The ceremony was held to commend those who have been recognised as making the greatest contribution in performing services to Pilgrims' clients within its Manned Guarding sector.
Pilgrims' contracts and operations managers once again faced the challenging task of singling out exemplary candidates from the many Pilgrims guards who every day go 'above and beyond' their day-to-day duties.
David Freear, Operations Director of Pilgrims, presented the awards, which were divided regionally, ranking nominees into Gold, Silver and Bronze awards. The winners of each region then qualified for a place in the national awards to compete for 'Security Officer of the Year'.
The judging panel assessed nominees on their skills shown throughout the past year, with criteria including proactiveness, reliability, level of achievement, commitment, added value and adjustment to their environment. On the day, all nominees were invited to play nine holes of golf at Hoebridge Golf Club, in Surrey, before attending a formal lunch followed by an awards ceremony in the evening.
Security Officer Thaman Gurung has exemplified the kind of commitment and hard work seen every day in Pilgrims' Security Officers throughout the past year. His efforts earned him both the Regional South and National Gold awards this year. John Rowse picked up the national Silver award with Abdul Shaikh the Bronze.
In the past year, Thaman has developed systems to enhance checks made on Health and Safety equipment. He has been extremely flexible throughout the year, covering additional shifts and changing his pattern where required in order to maintain contractual obligations. For the second winter running he stayed at the YMCA, close to site, during adverse weather conditions. On both occasions, he didn't need to be asked, he arrived on site with a kit bag when hearing there may be snow. David Freear explains: "Thaman views his position as key to delivering a first class service to our client, Sanofi-Aventis. This is done purely on his own initiative and shows true qualities and commitment, both to Pilgrims and the customer."
In addition to the individual awards, each region nominated a number of teams to be put forward for the "Best Team of the Year Award", judged on their outstanding motivation, enthusiasm, teamwork and communication throughout the past year.
Pilgrims' Manned Guarding team at Sanofi-Aventis, Guildford, received this award in acknowledgement of the guards' efforts throughout the year and deserved recognition for the support the team delivers to the client.
Sanofi-Aventis' Head of Facilities and Health and Safety, said: 'I'm delighted that our security team has received the recognition they deserve. They are to be commended for their positive attitude in supporting the work of Sanofi-Aventis, their handling of protest situations, suspect telephone calls and the many other duties they all manage in such a positive and proactive way. I hope everyone will join me in congratulating Thaman Gurung, Lee Slade, Joe Gough and Peter Hannant on their awards.'
Pilgrims' Managing Director, Bill Freear, said: "Awards like this are important. Within the Manned Guarding industry many of the big companies only focus on problem areas. Within Pilgrims we recognise and reward good service, ideas and achievements as they happen. This can be as simple as a telephone call or letter from the Operations Management team; however this does not allow time for formal recognition. For this reason, we make note of all outstanding achievements that take place throughout the year and the winners are formally invited to attend the awards ceremony. We're extremely proud of our team."

Some population and geographical characteristics of the northern-Dalmatian hinterland (communes of Benkovac, Drniš, Knin and Obrovac)

The article treats the geographical and demographic characteristics of the norhern-Dalmatian hinterland in the light of recent events, i.e. the armed rebellion of part of the Serbian population and the aggression against Croatia. Its main purpose is to, on the basis of population and geographical facts, try to answer the question: Are there any justified reasons for the possible secession of this region from Croatia? In the first part of the article, after defining the region, the author gives a short reminder of the fact that it was the heart and soul of medieval Croatia. After the Turkish invasion the original Croatian population perished or fled into other regions, and the Turks (and later the Venetians, too) settled a new population there. The second part of the article points to the great importance of the northern-Dalmatian hinterland in the present rail and road communications. The third part treats the demographic and settlement characteristics of the region in which there is strong rural exodus and depopulation. The fourth part describes the ethnic composition of the region which has a Serbian majority and a significant Croatian minority (in 1880 there were 42.6% Croats and 56.6% Serbs; in 1991 there were 35.6% Croats and 62.0% Serbs). It was shown that exodus and depopulation were stronger among the Croatian then among the Serbian population (this refers to the region as a whole). Until the Second World War the Croats were the majority population in commune centres, and in the last population census their participation was more than halved (with the exception of Drniš); especially significant is the fact that since 1961 even the absolute number of Croats in them has been decreasing. In conclusion the author states that there are no justified reasons for the possible secession of the area observed from Croatian state territory. It is historic Croatian land that today has a strategic communications importance (its breaking away would cause existential difficulties in Croatia's general and regional development). There is no ethnic justification, either, since the Croats are still a significant minority in that region and the Serbs are not threatened either by assimilation or by emigration. The facts presented indicate the opposite conclusion, i.e. that the survivial of the Croatian population in their own state is threatened.
