|Bill Clinton is without a doubta serial rapist. Long-term meth use results in a depletion of dopamine in the brain, so the user has to use more and more meth to achieve that high. For more examples of Meth in the News, go to Methamphetamine in the News: ordosimeoni.org Any regular reader of this Meth in the News column knows that I maintain my website and write this column because of the children. There was no mention of charges for animal cruelty. So if them fools want to cut each other, well, happy cutting. Did the young man stay in Cypress to escape Brick?
|With that in mind, I was recently contacted by a young woman in recovery. You go to people for protection. They are once again exposed to the same people and places and simply go back to doing what they have always known and done — and they start using. We rely on inmates for this, too, letting some stand out in front of the unit to warn us when a ranking officer is coming so we can make sure everything is in order.

The ETS World Championships is the highest stakes and most prestigious tournament in all of Eternal. Sixteen of the very best players gather to play for over a thousand dollars in prizes, a shot at the Player of the Year title, and the title of World Champion!
When and Where
(Days still subject to change)
The World Championships will be held over an unprecedented FOUR days. All days begin at 12pm EST.
Round Robin: November 11th and 12th
Elimination Round: November 18th
Grand Finals: November 19th
The stream for both days will be live on the aReNGeeEternal twitch stream and should begin an hour before the tournament starts.
Tournament Format
Round Robin (Day 1 and 2)
The World Championships is not a place for luck to decide games, nor is it something that will be rushed through. The first two days of the tournament will be a full duration round robin. Every player will play each other player once over fifteen rounds. In order to prove you're the best, you're going to have to face everyone else and prove it. No players will be eliminated during this phase – players will be seeded into the Elimination Round depending on how they do in the round robin. The top four players will be seeded directly into the Grand Finals portion of the tournament. The 5th best through 12th best players will be put into Pod A for the elimination stage, while the bottom 4 players after the group stage are put into Pod B.
Elimination Stage (Day 3)
The top 4 players from the first two days get to relax and skip the Elimination stage. The Elimination stage is split into two Pods – the 8 player Pod A and the 4 player Pod B. Once again, round robin play will decide who moves on – every player will have to face every other player, so no complaining about bad matchups!
Pod A (8 players, 3 advance)
Pod A will play 7 rounds of round robin on day 3. After the round robin is complete, the players with the best three records move on into the Grand Finals. The other five players are eliminated from the tournament.
Pod B (4 players, 1 advances)
Pod B will play 3 rounds of round robin towards the end of day 3. After the round robin is complete, the player with the best record moves on to the Grand Finals as the Eighth and final seed. The other players are eliminated from the tournament.
Grand Finals
We've asked players to prove themselves all down the stretch, and they've done so. No more Round Robin play – now its a case of Last Man Standing. However, we're not about to let a single slip here end a player's run – the final leg of the tournament will be an 8 player Double Elimination bracket. Lose twice, and you're done – win out, and claim the title of World Champion!
ETS World Championship Prizing ($3000+ prize pool)
First Place: The title of World Champion, a cash prize of $1000, 20 Series Points, and a very good shot at the Player of the Year title.
Second Place: A cash prize of $750 and 16 Series Points.
Third Place: A cash prize of $500 and 13 Series Points.
Fourth Place: A cash prize of $250 and 10 Series Points.
Fifth and Sixth Place: A cash prize of $150 and 8 Series Points.
Seventh and Eighth Place: A cash prize of $100 and 6 Series Points.
Qualifying for the World Championships
Only sixteen (16) players are invited to the World Championships, and they will be invited from the following sources:
- The six (6) Invitational Champions
- The MSM Champion (1)
- The top eight (8) players on the Worldwide Rankings not already qualified.
- The winner (1) of the Worlds Wildcard
The World Champions is a culmination of the best and most successful Eternal tournament players this year has to offer, and the invitation criteria reflect that. Seven players are invited directly by winning major tournaments, while the other eight are invited based on their Series point totals, which indicates success at previous tournaments. Series Points are not easy to acquire – you need to Top 4 a weekly tournament or Top 12 an Invitational just to earn a single point!
Already Qualified
The following players have already qualified for the ETS World Championships
- Toth201 (Season One Invitational Champion)
- iReedMinds (Season Two Invitational Champion)
- Angrychicken (Season Three Invitational Champion)
- KampfKrote (Midseason Major Champion)
- childroland (Season Four Invitational Champion)
At the time of writing, the lowest Series Point total that could get a direct invite is ten (10) Series Points.
The Worlds Wildcard
The Worlds Wildcard tournament takes place on November 11 and November 12, 2017. It is a sixteen person double elimination tournament, with the sole prize going to the winner, an invitation to the World Championships. This is the only way to qualify for the World Championships if you are not directly invited.
The sixteen players with the highest Series Point totals that did not get invited to the World Championships will be invited to take part in the Worlds Wildcard tournament.
Full Rules
The full rules for these events can be found on the ETS Rules page.

This application is related to co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 60/062,361 and 08/950,404, filed concurrently herewith, with are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a system and method for animation of an object displayed via a computer system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and system for animating a character utilizing joints which allow more natural animation.
2. Background
As computer games and internet interaction quickly gain in popularity, the use of animated characters are becoming more prevalent. Characters can be animated through several ways. One way is to utilize a constant feed of video into a computer system. Another way is to utilize a series of static pictures of the character, each still picture being changed minutely from the previous picture to simulate motion. However, these conventional methods are very costly and can be highly labor intensive.
One possible solution which has been attempted is to utilize a single still image of a character and move a portion of the still image, such that the character appears to move. However, current conventional techniques have typically been unable to simulate natural motion. A very limiting problem with the conventional techniques is that the dimensions of the portion of the character which is being moved will typically change as the portion is being moved, thus causing a highly unnatural motion.
Another possible solution might be to compile an image of a character and move individual pieces of the character. For example, if a character is to resemble a person, then the character may be compiled from multiple pieces, including a piece representing a body, a piece representing a head, a piece representing an upper arm, a piece representing a lower arm, and a piece representing a hand. To simulate motion, one or several of the pieces of the compilation can be moved. A problem arises, however, when a piece is moved which has more than one connection. For instance, when an upper arm piece is moved, then the upper arm of the character moves, but the lower arm and hand remain in their fixed positions. Again, the result is a highly unnatural motion of the character. FIG. 1 is an illustration of a conventional method for making a single image of a character animatable. FIG. 2 shows a character 10 in its original position with a torso 14, arms 12A-12B, and joints 16A-16B. When a portion of the character is moved, then the moving portion is projected along the angular rotation of the movement. For example, if the arm 12A of FIG. 2 is moved "down", then the top and bottom edges 18A-18B of the arm 12A are rotated "down". The resulting moved arm 12A' has edges 18A' and 18B' which are closer to each other in width than the edges of the arm 12A prior to movement. Thus, the dimensions of the portion which has been moved in relation to the remaining portion of the character have changed in such a way as to change the integrity of the geometric structure.
Accordingly, what is needed is a system and method for animating a character being displayed via a computer system which can simulate a more natural motion. The present invention address such a need.
The present invention provides a system and method for providing an animatable character displayed via a computer system. The character can be made animatable by utilizing a joint which connects two portions of the character. When one portion of the character is rotated, or moved, with respect to the other portion of the character, then the dimensions of the portion which is being moved remain the same as prior to motion. Accordingly, the present invention can provide an animatable character by utilizing a single image of the character and moving various portions of the character while maintaining the integrity of the character's dimensions.
A system and method according to the present invention for providing an animatable character displayed via a computer system comprises the steps of providing a first portion of the character, wherein the first portion has a width, providing a second portion of the character, and providing a joint coupling the first portion and the second portion. The system and method further includes rotating the first portion around the joint such that the width of the first portion remains unchanged during the rotation.
It should be appreciated that the present invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process, an apparatus, a system, a device, a method, or a computer readable medium. Features and advantages of the present invention will be presented in more detail in the following specification of the invention and the accompanying figures which illustrate by way of example the principles of the invention.
The invention, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by referencing the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a conventional method of animating a static image.
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a general purpose computer system suitable for implementing the present invention.
FIGS. 3A-3C illustrate a creation of an animatable character utilizing the system and method for providing an animatable character according to the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of a method according to the present invention for providing an animatable character.
FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a rectangular center pin joint according to the present invention.
FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of a trapezoidal center pin joint according to the present invention.
FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a center radial joint according to the present invention.
FIG. 8 shows a schematic diagram of a rectangular center radial joint according to the present invention.
FIG. 9 shows a schematic diagram of a trapezoidal center radial joint according to the present invention.
FIGS. 10-12 show an example of how a single static image of a character can be made animatable by utilizing the system and method for providing an animatable character according to the present invention.
Reference will now be made in detail to a preferred embodiment of the invention. An example of the preferred embodiment is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. While the invention will be described in conjunction with a preferred embodiment, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to one preferred embodiment. To the contrary, it is intended to cover alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The present invention may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process operations have not been described in detail in order not to unnecessarily obscure the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a general purpose computer system suitable for implementing the process of the present invention. The computer system includes a central processing unit (CPU) 102, which CPU is coupled bi-directionally with random access memory (RAM) 104 and unidirectionally with read only memory (ROM) 106. Typically RAM 104 includes programming instructions and data, including text objects as described herein in addition to other data and instructions for processes currently operating on CPU 102. ROM 106 typically includes basic operating instructions, data and objects used by the computer to perform its functions. In addition, a mass storage device 108, such as a hard disk, CD ROM, magneto-optical (floptical) drive, tape drive or the like, is coupled bi-directionally with CPU 102. Mass storage device 108 generally includes additional programming instructions, data and text objects that typically are not in active use by the CPU, although the address space may be accessed by the CPU, e.g., for virtual memory or the like. The CPU is also shown to be coupled to a camera 150 and a display 152. Each of the above described computers further includes an input/output source 110 that typically includes input media such as a keyboard, pointer devices (e.g., a mouse or stylus) and the like. Each computer can also include a network connection 112 over which data, including, e.g., text objects, and instructions can be transferred. Additional mass storage devices (not shown) may also be connected to CPU 102 through network connection 112. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above described hardware and software elements are of standard design and construction.
FIGS. 3A-3C illustrate a method for providing an animatable character according to the present invention. First, a user can determine the topology of a character which is being created. For example, a skeleton 400 of a person can be created as shown in FIG. 3A. Alternatively, the character may be any object which the user may wish to make animatable, such as a teddy bear or a lamp.
Next, the user can determine where motion is to occur. For example, the skeleton 400' of a person can have points 402A-402D as locations where motion can occur.
FIG. 3C is an example of a skeleton 400" of a character which a user may wish to make animatable. The portion of the character which are to remain substantially rigid will herein be referred to as rods 404. The portions where the character is movable will herein be referred to as joints 406. Note that the rods 404 need only maintain its structural integrity when the joints are in motion. The parameters of the rods can be changed according to the user's preferences. Thus, for example, the arms can be elongated, the waist can be cinched, the feet can be enlarged, and the head can be detached.
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of a method according to the present invention for providing an animatable character. A first portion of a character is provided via step 450, wherein the first portion has a width. A second portion of the character is provided via step 452. A joint coupling the first portion and the second portion is also provided via step 454. The first portion is then rotated around the joint such that the width of the first portion remains substantially unchanged during rotation via step 456. Accordingly, in our example, when an arm is rotated "down" then the arm will appear substantially the same as it had prior to rotating it "down", except for its position.
In order to accomplish the method according to the present invention described in FIG. 4, various joint designs may be used to accomplish the end result of substantial structural integrity during and immediately after movement. Two examples of joints which can be used according to the system and method of the present invention are what is herein referred to as center pin joints, and center radial joints. Either of the exemplary joints can be made from various geometric shapes. Preferably, they are a compilation of polygons. For example, these joints can be created out of two or more rectangles, trapezoids, or triangles.
In general, the joints in the characters have a rotational pivot located half way between the top and bottom edges (when the rotational angle is zero degrees, i.e. prior to any movement). Both rods and joints include a top width, bottom width, and length parameters. In addition, there is rotational angle, which contributes to the local transform passed on to further body parts in the transformational chain.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a rectangular center pin joint according to the present invention. FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of a trapezoidal center pin joint. The center pin joint is a non-segmented joint. A non-segmented joint is herein meant to describe a joint which consists of approximately two polygons. The center pin joint can be imagined as taking two abutting rectangles and sticking a pin through the center of the common edge. Both half of the joint experience no substantial distortion as the joint angle is varied. However, the center pin joint may be discontinuous in some way when one portion of the joint is being rotated. For example, when the rotation angle is non-zero, a roughly triangular shaped gap 500 appears on one lengthwise side of the joint, and the bottom half rectangle or trapezoid of the joint will overlap the top half on the other side of the joint.
FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a center radial joint. In this example, a trapezoidal center radial joint is shown. The center radial joint is a segmented joint. Segmented joints have the properties that they appear to retain texture map continuity when the joint is rotated, however, the interiors of the segments will be warped in some manner. Segmented joints consists of two or more geometric shapes such as polygons.
The center radial joint shown in FIG. 7 shows properties of the center radial joint which apply to both trapezoidal and rectangular center radial joints. The properties shown include length 700, which includes the sum of all of the segments 714. The top width 702 and the bottom width 704 is also shown. In the example given, the maximum width is also the top width 702 and the minimum width is also the bottom width 704. Also shown is the mid width 706, the outer radius 2 (708), the outer radius 1 (712), and the inner radius 710. Additionally, the top length 750 and the bottom length 752 are also shown.
Various relationships and algorithms related to the properties shown are as follows:
MinWidth=min(TopWidth, BottomWidth)
MaxWidth=max(TopWidth, BottomWidth)
OuterRadius1=sqrt(minWidth2 +Length2)/2
Outer Radius2=sqrt(maxWidth2 +Length2)/2
DiffLength2=InnerRadius2 *(1-4*InnerRadius2 /(MidWidth2))
DiffLength=sqrt(max(DiffLength2, 0))
Bottom Length=Length/2-DiffLength
FIG. 8 shows a schematic diagram of a rectangular center radial joint according to the present invention. FIG. 9 shows a schematic diagram of a trapezoidal center radial joint according to the present invention. The center radial joint is a simple, continuous shape from the top edge to the bottom edge from zero angle of rotation (i.e. prior to movement) until the absolute value of the rotation angle passes through a critical angle (CritAng1). At critical angle 1 the edges 800 of the segment 714' form a cusp 802, and further rotation leads to the overlap of the bottom half 804 of the joint with the top half 806 of the joint. In its rectangular form, as shown in FIG. 8, there is only one critical angle for which both the top half 806 and the bottom half 804 of the joint come to a cusp 802 at the same time. As previously stated, critical angle 1 can be calculated as follows:
However, in its trapezoidal form, there are two critical angles, one where the bottom half segments 804' form a cusp 802' and one where the top half segments 806' form a cusp 802". The specific values for the critical angles can be computed from the parameters of the geometry, namely the top width, the bottom width, and the length, as detailed in the equations shown above. As previously stated, critical angle 1 and critical angle 2 can be calculated as follows:
Under joint rotation of the center radial joint, the geometry of the segments 714 undergo a deformation into segments 714' as shown in FIG. 8. Without intervention, the coordinates of the vertices of the segment would turn into "bow-tie" quadrilaterals. A bow-tie quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose edges cross themselves. Bow-tie quadrilaterals undesirably distort the texture mapping rendering which can be used on various animatable characters. Bow-tie quadrilaterals can be avoided by modifying the behavior of the joint at the critical angle. When segments become triangles at the critical angles, they continue to exist as triangles beyond the critical angle, thus avoiding the bow-tie quadrilateral problem.
Under rotation, one lengthwise edge 810A-810B of the joint increases in length, while the remaining lengthwise edge shortens. For example, the left edge, 810A can increase in length while the right edge 810B shortens during rotation. In this example, the left edge 810A increases by the arc length of the rotation angle, at a constant radius defined by a circle 850. This circle 850 is centered at the midpoint of the joint and is tangent to the polygonal shape of the joint itself when the rotation angle is zero (i.e. prior to movement). Note that in the restricted rectangular case, the segments 714 are distributed equally on each side of the joint, since the tangent points 852 lie on a diameter of the circle 850, as can be seen in FIG. 8.
However, in the more general trapezoidal case, the tangent points 852' are connected by a line which lies below the center of the circle 850. This line divides the joint trapezoid into two sub-trapezoids of unequal length. Both trapezoids are constrained by the circle 850 when the joint is rotated, and their edges 810A-810B continue to be tangent to the circle 850. However, the edges of the two sub-trapezoids which are being shortened, in our example the right hand edge 810B, intersect . The intersection point is calculated and the total length of the right hand edge can be derived. The total length of the right hand edge 810B is the length of the original right hand edge, less the length of the edges beyond the intersection point which are closest to the circle. This continues until the first critical angle is reached. At this point, one of the sub-trapezoids' (or both in the rectangular case) effective right edge has shrunk to a point or a cusp 802 and 802'. All width-wise segment edges for that sub-trapezoid terminate on the right hand side at that point. This continues as the rotation angle is increased, until the remaining sub-trapezoids' right hand edge is shrunk to a point at the second critical angle. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the first critical angle is shown to be 99�, while the second critical angle is shown to be 118�. The all width-wise segment edges for that sub-trapezoid terminate on the right hand side at that point. Finally, at 180� of rotation, the edge which has been increasing in length during rotation, in our example the left edge, is equal to the original left edge length plus 180� of arc.
FIGS. 10-12 illustrate an example of an application in which the method and system according to the present invention can be utilized. FIG. 10 shows a static image of a character overlapping with the skeleton 400" shown in FIG. 3C, thereby creating a customized character. This process is described in detail in co-pending U.S. Ser. No. 60/062,361, which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIGS. 11A and 11B illustrate texture mapping which can accompany the overlapping of the static image 900 with the skeleton 400". Texture mapping is well known in the field of art. For example, basic principles of texture mapping can be found in Advanced Animation & Rendering Techniques, Chapter 6, "Mapping Technique: Texture & Environmental Mapping", Alan Watt, Mark Watt, Addison Wesley (1992). Laminating the texture map onto the skeleton allows consistency in the texture of a component of the desired object when that component is moved. For example, when an arm is moved from a vertical position to a horizontal position, the stripes on the sleeve of the arm will also appear to move from the vertical position to the horizontal position. Texture mapping for purposes of the present invention can be performed in various ways, including affine mapping, perspective mapping, and bilinear mapping.
In the example shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, a texture map area 454 is associated with a portion of the character as shown in FIG. 11A. The portion associated with the texture map area 954 is shown as an arm 950, which also includes a portion of a sleeve with stripes on it. The pixels included in the area associated with the texture map area 954 are copied and transformed from an (x,y) coordinate associated with the pixels to a (u,v) coordinate associated with the texture map area 954. The transformed, copied pixels are typically referred to as texels.
FIG. 11B shows the texture map area 954 including texels. A region 952 is associated with the texture map area 954. The texture map area 954 includes all the pixels within the area, which are typically referred to as texels. The texture map area 954 typically includes representative points, in this example, the vertices 956a-956d. Data related to these vertices 956a-956d include (x,y) coordinates related to the display and they also include (u,v) coordinates related to the texture mapping area 954. The (u,v) coordinates of the vertices 956a-956d can be derived through various methods. One method of deriving the (u,v) coordinates is described below.
The (u,v) coordinates range from 0 to 1. The u and v coordinates can be derived as ratios to the height and width of the bounding texture map area 954. For instance, if the top boundary 958 of the texture mapping area 954 is one hundred texels wide and if the vertex 956a is at the twenty-fifth texel counting from the upper left corner of the texture mapping area 954, then the vertices 956a will have a (u,v) coordinate of (0,0.25). (25/100=0.25) The (u,v) coordinate does not change regardless of how the character is moved within the display. Thus, the vertices 956a-956d can have their (x,y) coordinates changed without affecting their (u,v) coordinates. When the texels are scanned, the (u,v) coordinate of the non-vertices texels are interpolated, such that only the (u,v) coordinates of the vertices 956a-956d need be stored. Additionally, only the image included in the region 452 will be scanned out, such that the remaining portions of the character outside the region 452, but within the texture map area 454 will not be addressed. Accordingly, the texture appears consistent with the rest of the shirt when a portion of the shirt is moved.
FIG. 12 in an illustration of the customized character 900 after portions of the character have been moved. Despite the fact that the character is initially created in a static pose, it is animatable after it is created. For instance, although it is preferred that the desired object, such as a child, poses in a single pose, preferably arms out and legs apart, this digitized image can be animated once the character of the child is created. In FIG. 12, the arms have been rotated upward while the legs have been rotated in a clockwise direction. Thus the character can be animated in whatever manner the user chooses.
A method and system for generating an animatable character has been disclosed. Software written according to the present invention is to be stored in some form of computer-readable medium, such as memory or CD-ROM, or transmitted over a network, and executed by a processor.
Although the foregoing invention has been described in some details for the purposes of clarity of understanding, it will be apparent that certain changes and modifications may be practiced within the scope of the appended claims. It should be noted that there may be alternative ways of implementing both the process and apparatus of the present invention. Accordingly, the present embodiments are to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive, and the invention is not to be limited to the details given herein, and that it may be modified within the scope and equivalence of the appended claims.

W Strongsville 28 - Mayfield | (5-2)
The Mustangs have really turned their season around. After losing the first two games, they have ripped off 5 straight and pitched their first shutout on Friday beating Mayfield 28-0. Hamilton had 3 catches for 89 yards and afterwards updated his blog.
Next Game: vs. Brush - 10/15
Austin Blythe
L Williamsburg 7 - Solon 22 | (6-1)
Williamsburg lost their first game of the year against James Morris' old school, Solon. Williamsburg's offense was completely shut down and surprisingly ineffective. Previously the Raiders had scored at least 38 points in each game, but were held to just 7 on Friday. You can see Blythe on a couple of plays in KCRG's highlights (Blythe is #77 in white).
Next Game: vs. Clear Creek-Amana - 10/15
Jake Duzey
L Lake Orion 45 - Athens 7 | (2-5)
There was not much out there on this game. Lake Orion was and still is undefeated after facing Athens. Duzey had 3 catches for 66 yards and a TD.
Next Game: at Troy - 10/22
Riley McMinn
W Rochester 42 - Lanphier 7 | (7-0)
Rochester came out swinging on offense and went up 28-0 in the first quarter. From there they cruised to their 7th straight win. No mentions of McMinn were found.
Next Game: vs. Glenwood - 10/15
Cole Fisher
L Millard North 17 - Millard West 28 | (5-1)
Millard North could not overcome their 4 fumbles and lost to rival Millard West on Friday. No mentions of Fisher were found.
Next Game: vs. Omaha South - 10/15
Jordan Walsh
W Glenbard West 27 - York 10 | (7-0)
Glenbard West and York were both an undefeated 6-0 going into this game. York stormed out to a 10-0 lead and their fans thought the game was over chanting "Overrated." Well, Glenbard came back and scored the next 27 point for the win. I couldn't find anything on how Walsh played on Friday, but there was a nice story in the Tribune about Walsh prior to the game.
Next Game: vs. Downers Grove North - 10/16
Melvin Gordon
W Bradford 61 - Case 14 | (7-0)
Bradford was on a roll again mounting a 48-0 lead at halftime on route to their 7th win of the year. Gordon had another big game though he had just 8 carries. He finished with 131 yards and 4 touchdowns. This pushed his season total to 1,000 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns on 77 carries.
Next Game: vs. Franklin - 10/14
Torrey Campbell
W Cypress Lake 19 - Barron Collier 28 | (4-2)
Barron Collier stormed out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter but really struggled throughout most of the rest of the game. They were able to score again late in the game to secure a victory after letting Cypress Lake back within two. Campbell is starting to take over as a legitimate rushing threat for BC. He had his best offensive night of the year with 88 yards on 11 carries and 2 touchdowns.
Next Game: at Naples - 10/22
Henry Krieger-Coble
W Mt. Pleasant 32 - Chariton 15 | (4-3)
Mt. Pleasant rebounded from last week's loss by riding Darian Cotton (brother of Jordan Cotton) who had 3 TDs and turned it into the Panther's 4 win of the season. No mentions of Krieger-Coble were found.
Next Game: vs. Keokuk - 10/15
Jacob Rudock
W Nova 0 - St. Thomas Aquinas 45 | (6-0)
It was just another walk in the park for Aquinas on homecoming as the Raiders strolled to a 45-point win over Nova. Aquinas struck fast when their defense gave Rudock and Co. great field position. Their 7 scoring were just 2, 2, 3, 7, 4, 3, and 3 plays long. Rudock had another great performance going 9 of 14 for 179 yards and 3 TDs. He is yet to throw an interception this year. You can see highlights of the game in this video.
Next Game: at Miramar - 10/15
John Raymon
L Council Rock North 8 - Neshaminy 35 | (0-6)
Council Rock North is still without a win, while its latest opponent, Neshaminy, is still without a loss. The game went about how you would expect between an undefeated and a winless team. CRN was unable to stop Neshaminy's offense early and didn't score until junk time at the end of the game. No mentions of Raymon were found.
Next Game: at Harry S. Truman - 10/16
Austin Vincent
W DeSoto 30 - North Mesquite 20 | (5-1)
DeSoto struggled defending the run giving up 229 yards on the ground to North Mesquite's running back, but were able to overcome the poor defense with a huge night passing the ball. They had 33 yards and 4 TDs through the air and won 30-20. Vincent had the final score of the game. He caught a short pass then ran it in 22 yards for an insurance TD in the fourth quarter.
Next Game: vs. Tyler Lee - 10/15
Melvin Spears
W Plano East 24 - Allen 34 | (6-0)
Allen's running back had nearly 300 yards rushing leading the way to an Eagle's win. The game would have been a little more comfortable if it were not for two pick-sixes thrown by the Allen quarterback. Iowa newest commit, Melvin Spears, made a big play at the end of the first half. With the score tied 10-10, Spears had an interception as Plano East was driving down the field to take the lead. He also had an early sack that pushed Plano East out of field goal range on the first drive of the game.
Next Game: vs. Marcus - 10/22
Did not play:
- Mike Orloff and Marcus Grant - Lawrence Academy (2-0) | Next Game: at Governor's Academy - 10/16

Dow Emini Journal June 27 2017
Morning everyone! I was off on Monday so I did not do a trade. Looking back at the charts looks like we would have had a nice winner. But I do not count it of course as I was not in it. Tuesday we had a short trade that I jumped in at 21348 and made my exit 21328 in just a few minutes. 13 winners / 3 losses so far this month with 81.25% win rate. We only have 3 more sessions left in this month so we will have a winning month even if we lose the next three sessions. Of course I am hoping to win all 3!
Here's the statements and charts:

Police warning after burglaries
A spate of burglaries near Thames has sparked a warning from police to check garages and sheds for missing items.
Sergeant Jared Thompson from Thames police said staff had already started to recover many items - many of which have not yet been reported missing.
"We have started to recover various property, including power tools and the like, which we are sure have been stolen from around the Tararu area but have yet to be missed by the owners and reported as stolen," he said.
Mr Thompson said police had a number of "strong suspects" and hoped arrests would be made soon, in relation to the burglaries.
He urged residents to check their sheds, homes, vehicles and garages and to spread the word amongst neighbours about remaining vigilant.
"If you disturb someone, call 111 and but don't go wandering around outside. If you wander around it will destroy any track for a police dog."

And of course I don't even worry anymore about all that wedding items. I had took pre-wedding session which is the idea taken from Muhammad Assad & Afra Nurina's. Casual yet traditional outfit, ssstt just forget about the silly face of us.
November, 24th 2013 - do some preparation
This is the day, many couple might be nervous, don't you? Make-up team do some preparation before the Akad Nikah, about one hour they change me into a traditional princess who wear JAVANESE SANGGUL blended with fully jasmine which covered my hair as the "hijab" style. Look at on my ears, it was covered by red roses and vintage ear studs. How lovely they are and I'd like to say, this is it! When the Javanese wedding meet the muslim wedding ideas.
Once in a life time, the moment that you have been waiting for. Never thought this day would come in to my life. The day when someone ask you to get married. And the day which we begin all of things together until the rest of my life, Aamiin...

Our rights have been peddled away by our representatives in Treaties before but Elections?
Yes, Elections. In a strange exchange between the United States Department of State and apparently Russia. The State Department said Russia could oversee the Presidential Election. It sounds crazy but it is true.
There has been increasing calls for our election to be monitored by Trump supporters. Those calls have turned into action with the Donald Trump campaign forming election oversight teams throughout the United States. While Hillary Clinton seems content to stand back and watch the election from afar.
Apparently, the United States entered into an International Treaty that allows any member country to observe an election. The OSCE allows all member countries to observe election of any other member country. The observance of something amounts to oversight, in fact, to oversee something it to observe something. While the Treaty gives them no power to do anything, these member countries can be present in an observation capacity and observe the whole election.
Since when does the United States need or allow foreign governments to oversee our internal affairs?
State Department spokesman John Kirby reportedly said: "there is no policy to refuse Russian observers." He went on to say the agreement with the OSCE agreement is clear and allows member countries to observe other member countries' elections. Officials in Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Alabama all said they received requests from Russian authorities in August and September. All of the states turned down these requests.

That's the charcoal canister (don't know what mechanics call it in desi language). It collects fumes from fuel tank and feed to intake manifold. When you remove the pipe from purge, it releases tank pressure making the car run smoother again. It could also be replaced to test if problem gets fixed.
Saboor bhai ne 4th post mai ye breather pipe ka masla bataya tha lekin shahid kisi ne ghaur se nahi dekha.
It's better to be late...
Sent from my SM-G530H using PW Forums mobile app
Yes we miss this point... surely do diy on that.. Also one mechanic in Lahore suggest to make hole in fuel cap or use some loosen fuel cap as suggested above....
ok i have done,,,me ne wo tikki change kerdi hai jo black box se fumes inhale kerke throttle ko deti hai ...jo ke on hi rehna chahaye,,hamare case me wo on hi nahi hoti ,,isi waja se tank me vaccum banta hai aur release nahi hota
yaad rahay is tikki ka pressure itna hota hai jitna throttle inhale kerta hai
Post a picture of that tikki here and also mention your experience whether changing that has fixed the problem in your case. Thanks.
What is tikkki.. please explain with pics... to help more
Return lines
Yar me explain kerta hu pics me send kerdunga abhi gari nahi hai....ap log sirf ik kaam kero...black box se ik pipe tank wala hai doosra purge wala..purge wala pipe ik sensor me ja raha hai ...us ko tikki bolte hai bhai jaan...wo tikki sahi kaam nahi kerti in euro me..us tikki ka grip nikal ker.phir us me orange wire hogi...us ko nikal de....aur orange taar ki jaga body me se earth dede ap ka masla hal ho jayega..
Agar nahi yakin ata kisi ko tu us tikki ya sensor me se wo pipe nikal de jo black box se araha hai...aur us ko direct throttle me laga de....ap ki gari missing bhi chor degi aur average bhi thek ho jayegi....me ne aj kia hai ...sab ok hogya hai.
Jab tank me se throttle sari air khench lega tu fuel pump per load nahi ayega aur gari smooth chalegi aur average bhi ok...aur ha yara pictures share hi nahi ho rahi hai
03335752465Mera number note kerle aur mujhay whatsapp kere..me ap logo ka masla hal kerunga ....balkay ap log khud ker saktay ho kisi mechanic ke pass mat jayega please... aur na hi fuel cap me hole kerwayega...
Instead of doing this jugaard, how about changing that sensor (purge valve)? By the way, if we bypass that, what is the idle RPM of car? Please confirm the idle RPM after bypassing it.
1- Charcoal canister.2- Purge valve.
Purge valve is electronically controlled. If it does not open properly pressure will build up in tank.
its not a sensor.its just a solenoid
i was baffled by this tikki....now i understood u r referring to purge valve....thanx for uploading picture.....its not any sensor....just a regular solenoid.....if u bypass it.....there can be high chance that car may have rough idle when freshly refueled or at high atmospheric temperatures...coz this valve is controlled by ecu......simply change with any denso solenoid installed in toyota cars or which are used in carburetted cars as idle up solenoid.....but 80% issue will be resolved as described by @harisabid
Damn you mentioning this valve as tikki . I was so confused by the word tikki
Removing solenoid is not good in ecu controlled car.. changing it to any other new valve is good idea.. and I guess its not costly also...
Thanks bro.. will do this trick today.... .. if succeeded I, 'll change valve

His trio mates, the excellent pianist Matthew Shipp, and drummer Randy Peterson, are well-chosen for the rapidly shifting rhythms and moods that Maneri moves through on this intriguing set. Shipp specializes in arhythmic power piano, and has an arresting capacity for throwing out shimmering and glimmering melodic shards in the middle of the Maneri maelstrom. Much of this disc, however, features him interacting with Maneri on a low gear. He answers Maneri's Ornetteian maniacal rapid bowing with small clusters of his own. Then he shifts effortlessly with the violinist into quiet but not tranquil sections, in which Peterson jostles and huffs and the two string players trade and intertwine short, fragmentary motifs.
Maneri explains that he included four Miles Davis tunes in this set - "So What?," "Circle," "Solar," and "No Blues" - "to demonstrate that what we play is not random." The trio makes no attempt to play any of these tunes in anything resembling Milesian fashion, and they do indeed blend well here with the arch and ruminative bursts of Maneri's own compositions. And it works: although they take each of these tunes in a direction that probably would make the Prince of Darkness blanch, the coherence of the melodic and rhythmic development of each - and of Maneri's own tunes, some of which (at least "Three Smiles" and "Solaris") seem to pay indirect tribute to Miles - is undeniable.
Maneri and Shipp are unafraid to traffic in classical motifs, and often these tracks approach that kind of sonority. But all of them are deeply and carefully thought out improvisations from excellent musicians.
Mat Maneri, el vln; Matthew Shipp, p; Randy Peterson, d.
Track listing: Asunta / So What? / Sunned / Circle / Three Smiles / Cathedral / Solar / Solaris / No Blues.

Quotations for Compassionate Care
"A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive." ― Pearl Bailey (American actress and singer; appeared on vaudeville, won a Tony award for the all-African American production of Hello Dolly and a daytime Emmy award for the role of fairy godmother in Cindy Eller: A Modern Fairy Tale.
"Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret."― Robert E. Lee (Confederate General during the Civil War)
"No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the people around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better. So for me, the most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better -- because your job is to try to help everybody else get better." ― Jim Yong Kim (MD, PhD, anthropologist, 12th President of the World Bank Group, who has dedicated himself to international development for more than two decades to help improve the lives of underserved populations worldwide.)
"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have." ― Abraham Lincoln (16th President of the United States, most famous for signing the Emancipation Proclamation; he was assassinated in 1865. He also said "Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.")
"I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men." ― Lao Tzu (a philosopher and poet from China, best known for the Tao Te Ching)
"One measure of your success will be the degree to which you build up others who work with you. While building up others, you will build up yourself." ― James E. Casey (American businessman who founded the American Messenger Company at age 19, which eventually became United Parcel Service)
"If you don't think your anxiety, depression, sadness and stress impact your physical health, think again. All of these emotions trigger chemical reactions in your body, which can lead to inflammation and a weakened immune system. Learn how to cope, sweet friend. There will always be dark days." ― Kris Carr (a New York Times and #1 Amazon best-selling author, wellness activist and cancer survivor. She documented her battle against epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in her documentary film Crazy Sexy Cancer)
"Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have -- life itself." - Walter Anderson (American painter, writer, naturalist)
"I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition."― Martha Washington (wife of the first president of the United States)
"Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live." ― Franklin D. Roosevelt (32nd President of the United States; only president to be elected to four consecutive terms in the White House; survived polio)
"Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!" ― Anne Frank (diarist; Jewish victim of the Holocaust; died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp)
"Thoroughly conscious ignorance… is a prelude to every real advance in knowledge." -- James Clerk Maxwell (Scottish mathematical physicist; formulated the theory of electromagnetic radiation which has been called the "second greatest unification in physics" after the first one by Sir Isaac Newton)
"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens."― Khalil Gibran (Lebanese artist, poet and writer; best known for his book The Prophet)
"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." ― Charles Dickens (English writer and social critic)
"Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean." ― Aldous Huxley (English writer and philosopher; best known for his novel Brave New World)
"It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start." – Mother Teresa (Roman Catholic sister and missionary who lived most of her life in India)
"Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts." – Henri Frederick Amiel (Swiss philosopher, poet and critic)
"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." – Harriet Tubman (an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and during the American Civil War, a Union spy)
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." – Eleanor Roosevelt (American politician, diplomat and activist)
"All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me . . . You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." ― Walt Disney (American cartoonist and filmmaker)
"Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." -- Markus Zusak (Australian young-adult fiction writer best known for his novel The Book Thief)

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." – Albert Einstein (German-born theoretical physicist and philosopher of science. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics.
"Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength." ― Charles Spurgeon (British Particular Baptist minister)
"The five stages (of grief) -- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance -- are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief." ― Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (Swiss-American psychiatrist; pioneered near-death studies; best known for her book On Death and Dying)
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." ― Henry David Thoreau (American poet, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, surveyor, and historian)
"Your dignity can be mocked, abused, compromised, toyed with, lowered and even badmouthed, but it can never be taken from you. You have the power today to reset your boundaries, restore your image, start fresh with renewed values and rebuild what has happened to you in the past." ― Shannon L. Alder (Latter Day Saints author)
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death." – Anais Nin (author, born to Cuban parents in France)
"You couldn't relive your life, skipping the awful parts, without losing what made it worthwhile. You had to accept it as a whole – like the world, or the person you loved." - Stewart O'Nan (American novelist)
"Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place." – Susan Sontag (American writer and filmmaker, teacher, political activist, author of Illness as Metaphor, who died from leukemia)
"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." – Desmond Tutu (South African social rights activist, retired Anglican bishop; in the 1980s became an opponent of apartheid)

"Our human compassion binds us the one to the other – not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future." – Nelson Mandala (South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician and philanthropist; served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999)
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure don't deserve me at my best." – Marilyn Monroe (American actress, model and singer, starring in films in the 1950s and 1960s)
"The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing… not healing, not curing… that is a friend who cares." – Henri Nouwen (Dutch-born Catholic priest, professor and writer)
"Cancer begins and ends with people. In the midst of scientific abstraction it is sometimes possible to forget this one basic fact. …Doctors treat diseases, but they also treat people, and this precondition of their professional existence sometimes pulls them in two directions at once." – June Goodfield (British historian, scientist and author of Quest for the Killers)
"Etymologically, patient means sufferer. It is not suffering as such that is most deeply feared but suffering that degrades." Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor
"Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones." ― Thich Nhat Hanh (Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet, active in the peace movement and promoting non-violent solutions to conflict)
"The best (doctors) seem to have a sixth sense about disease. They feel its presence, know it to be there, perceive its gravity before any intellectual process can define, catalog, and put it into words. Patients sense this about such a physician as well: that he is attentive, alert, ready; that he cares. No student of medicine should miss observing such an encounter. Of all the moments in medicine, this one is filled with drama, with feeling, with history." – Michael LaCombe, Annals of Internal Medicine, 1993
"…(T)he story of leukemia – the story of cancer – isn't the story of doctors who struggle and survive . . . It is the story of patients who struggle and survive, moving from one embankment of illness to another. Resilience, inventiveness, and survivorship – qualities often ascribed to great physicians – are reflected qualities, emanating first from those who struggle with illness and only then mirrored by those who treat them. If the history of medicine is told through the stories of doctors, it is because their contributions stand in place of the more substantive heroism of their patients." -- Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies: The Biography of Cancer
"Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend." – Martin Luther King, Jr. (American pastor, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement; assassinated in 1968)
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."― Steve Jobs (American entrepreneur, marketer, and inventor, cofounder, chairman, and CEO of Apple Inc.)
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."― Leo Buscaglia (known as "Dr. Love"; American author, motivational speaker, professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Southern California)
"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people." ― Randy Pausch (American professor of computer science, human-computer interaction, and design at Carnegie Mellon University who died from pancreatic cancer)
"I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff."― Jon Katz (American journalist and author)
"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it." ― Maya Angelou (American author, poet. Pubished seven autobiographies, three books of essays, and several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows)

"You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." ― Author Unknown
"We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started." ― Henry Ward Beecher (American Congregationalist clergyman, social reformer, and speaker, known for his support of the abolition of slavery, his emphasis on God's love)
"Why do we close our eyes when we pray? When we cry? When we dream? Or when we kiss? Because we know that the most beautiful things in life are not seen, but felt by the heart." ― Unknown
"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do."― Pope John XXIII (Roman Catholic Priest)
"There's a difference between saying good bye and letting go. Saying good bye is 'I'll see you again when I'm ready to hold your hand, and when you're ready to hold mine.' Letting go is 'I'll miss your hand. But I realized it's not mine to hold, and I will never hold it again.' " ― Unknown
"Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame."― Benjamin Franklin (organized the United States' first lending library and volunteer fire department. His scientific pursuits included investigations into electricity, mathematics and mapmaking. He helped draft the Declaration of Independence and the U.S Constitution, and negotiated the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which marked the end of the Revolutionary War)
"If we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, and without soul, life ceases to have meaning… The creative process shrivels in the absence of continual dialogue with the soul. And creativity is what makes life worth living." – Marion Woodman (Canadian mythopoetic author, women's movement figure. Jungian analyst trained at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zürich, Switzerland)
"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive." ― Dalai Lama
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next." – Gilda Radner (comedienne, performed on Saturday Night Live, died from ovarian cancer)
"To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." ― Buddha (teacher in India sometime between the sixth and fourth centuries BC upon whom Buddhism was founded; the name means "the enlightened one.")
"Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us." ― Unknown
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." -- Washington Irving (American author, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat)
"Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It's the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else's pain is as meaningful as your own." ― Barbara Kingsolver (American novelist, essayist and poet)
"Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone." ― Steven Spielberg (movie screenwriter, director and producer, best known for his films ET, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Goonies, Back to the Future, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Jaws, Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones to name a few)
"The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said." – Peter Drucker (Austrian-born management consultant who helped form the philosophical basis for modern business corporations)

Edison (American inventor, friend of Henry Ford, developed the phonograph, movie camera, telegraph and light bulb, to name a few. He died from complications of diabetes.)

A chilly winter night, a warm blanket and, a cosy bed..
Dim lights, comforting heater, starry sky and a silent night
You lie there, staring at the nothingness of the room with your best companion- You.
There is silence. Silence that pierces right through your conscience. Silence that forces you to think.
What did I ever do to deserve this?
What did they do to deserve the harsher share?
Silence prevails. Your heart crunches within. Only Allah knows why…
Allah SWT says:
وَلَقَدْ مَكَّـنّٰكُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَـكُمْ فِيْهَا مَعَايِشَ ؕ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ
"And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful."
(Qur'an. Al-A'raaf: Verse 10)
