William Ury
William Ury, co-founder of Harvard's Program on Negotiation, is one of the world's leading experts on negotiation and mediation.
He is co-author with Roger Fisher and Bruce Patton of Getting to Yes, a fourteen-million- copy bestseller translated into over thirty-five languages, and the author of Getting Past No, The Power of a Positive No, The Third Side and, most recently, the award-winning Getting to Yes with Yourself.
Over the last 35 years, Dr. Ury has served as a negotiation adviser and mediator in conflicts ranging from labor strikes and boardroom battles to civil wars in the Middle East, Latin America, and the former Soviet Union. During the Cold War, Ury served as a consultant to the Crisis Management Center at the White House, helping to create nuclear risk reduction centers. He has taught negotiation and mediation to tens of thousands of corporate executives, labor leaders, diplomats, and military officers around the world.
Ury is founder of the Abraham Path Initiative, which seeks to bring people together across cultures by opening a long-distance walking route in the Middle East that retraces the footsteps of Abraham and his family. ABC's Christiane Amanpour calls the Abraham Path "an unprecedented initiative to break down barriers and foster communication in the most divided region of the world." He has a popular TED talk about the Abraham Path, entitled "The Walk from No to Yes." He is also co-founder of the Climate Parliament, which unites parliamentarians from around the world with civil society to bring about a transition to renewable energy.
William is the recipient of the Whitney North Seymour Award from the American Arbitration Association and the Distinguished Service Medal from the Russian Parliament. His work has been widely featured in the media, including the The New York Times, the Financial Times, the CNN, and BBC.
Trained as a social anthropologist, Ury has a B.A. from Yale and a Ph.D. from Harvard.
A. Marco Turk to Receive Foundation's 2017 Directors' Award
It gives me enormous pleasure to announce that A. Marco Turk, teacher and international peacebuilder, has been named recipient of the Foundation's 2017 Directors' Award for Exemplary Contributions to Mediator Education.
Prof. Turk is Emeritus Professor and Director of the Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding Program at CA State University Dominguez Hills, as well as adjunct professor of law at the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, Pepperdine University School of Law. He has worked with thousands of students over the years and been a friend and mentor to them all.
Prof. Turk is recognized internationally for his work as a mediator, educator and trainer, emphasizing mediator ethics, restorative justice, and peacebuilding. Having been a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Conflict Resolution on the island of Cyprus (1997-1999), Professor Turk has made seven funded return trips to continue his peacebuilding work there, and has conducted programs for Cypriots in the USA through the U.S. State Department and the Fred J. Hansen Institute for World Peace at San Diego State University. In October 2003, he participated as one of only two Americans invited to attend the Oxford University international workshop on "Getting to Yes" regarding efforts to reunify Cyprus. He is a recognized scholar concerning the Cyprus Problem, and he has written extensively on the subject.
Prof. Turk has a long history in California Alternative Dispute Resolution and has received several awards acknowledging his service to the field.
It was my great pleasure to work with Prof . Turk as an adjunct professor in the NCRP program for over ten years and learn from his contributions to the field, as well as to see the many contributions that graduates of the program are now making. He has been a wonderful mentor and friend to everyone who knows him, so we are especially pleased that he has accepted this award from us.
It will be my great honor to present this award to Prof. Turk at the SCMA Fall Conference Dinner, October 20, 2017. I hope you can join us then to honor him.

This unique innovation shields your incision from added stresses caused by normal body movements, minimizing the widening and thickening of your scar.
Restorative Silicone
Medical grade silicone therapy is proven to help flatten, soften, and fade scars by hydrating scar tissue–a perfect finish to the embrace® 3-in-1 formula.
Better together
These combined benefits deliver an incomparable ability to diminish thick, visible, raised scars.
embrace®: Unlike cheap or generic silicone sheets, gels and creams, embrace gently contracts to actively hold together both sides of your dry, closed incision. Tension is relieved resulting in a noticeably thinner, smoother, lighter scar.
Same scar. Very different results.

Apply: Recommended 1 to 4 weeks after suture removal on a closed, dry incision. The earlier you treat, the better your results.

"Patients come back at 6 months and say 'my scar looks great!'. If they have a friend that had the procedure and didn't use embrace®, they say, 'My doctor really took care of me and my scar looks way better than theirs'."
– Camille Cash, M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Houston
"There's very few products that we can offer our patients where we have 100% satisfaction, and that's been our experience with the product."
– W. Tracy Hankins, M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Las Vegas
"Now, we can actually have something that has science behind it, and we can improve the final appearance of the scar. Ultimately as a plastic surgeon, that's what you strive to achieve for patients."
– Shahin Fazilat, M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Silicon Valley
"At just 7 months' post‐op, my scar is flat, smooth, and not easily seen. What a great product to minimize scars! embrace® should be part of any and all post‐op care. Thank you for the opportunity to reap the excellent benefits of embrace®."
"My scar is literally a pencil line. And it's not discolored, it's not red, it's basically the same color as my skin now…I've had girlfriends that have had it [tummy tucks] and theirs is bumpy, has a little discoloration to it, a little red…it doesn't lay flat. It's more like a marker line vs. a pencil line. And I'm so happy I used embrace because you don't want that. I would have rather not done the tummy tuck than have a bumpy scar."
"Wearing embrace after my procedure was very comforting. It felt very supportive to have it on, all the same while knowing that your scar is healing very beautifully, nicely, and thinly."

Oasis has helped thousands of people
Since opening a refuge in 1994 we have supported thousands of people through our services. Here are some of their stories.
Melissa shares her Christmas at Oasis
I lived in the Oasis refuge at Christmas a couple of years ago. It was a really hard time for me, I had moved away from family and had lost touch with friends whilst I was with my husband. But, at the same time, to be in such a caring atmosphere was amazing.
Sam's Story
At Oasis we don't receive any statutory funding for our work with children and young people – and yet we know that this work is essential if we are to reduce the harm caused to individuals, to families and to society by domestic abuse.
Sam* was referred in July 2015 by Early Help and Preventative Services. He had been witness and victim to domestic abuse between his mother and father until he was seven years old when his parents separated. Sam has contact with his father and witnesses his anger and attempts to continue to control the family. Sam struggles with his anger and the referral states that Sam's mother was worried he would hurt her.
June's Story
My husband used to be very controlling and manipulative. He would over dose and say he was going to kill himself. He would accuse me of affairs, he accused me of sleeping with one of my female friends and a lifelong family friend. He would lock me up in the house and take away my phone.
I had tried to leave before, I spent two days at a friend's house and I went back to him that is the difference with Oasis, it is the support you get and the people you meet who really help to keep you here and let you know what you are doing is right.
Annette's Story
I met my ex-partner through a friend. We dated for 2 years and everything was fine. We finally decided to move in together and I shortly fell pregnant. When I was 3 months pregnant the physical abuse started. I can remember a time when he attacked me concentrating on hitting my head. I was covered in bruises. Time seemed to stop still and an hour would fell like days. I tried to stay strong and carry on with looking after his children from other relationships while trying to protect my unborn child, I tried to leave a few times but he would say that he had changed and persuade me to come back home, which I did because I loved him.

Recently, New Century Financial Corp. -- the nation's largest "subprime" mortgage lender -- filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This was an astounding collapse, since the company originated more than $60 billion in loans in 2006. With HSBC's recent write-off of more the $11 billion in subprime loans, even the normal optimistic Alan Greenspan, past chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, cautioned that the "spillover" from the housing market correction could trigger a national recession in 2008.

The Government has been urged to launch an inquiry into petrol pricing as motorists continue to face "significant" regional differences in price.
Iain McKenzie, Labour MP for Inverclyde in Scotland, says petrol and diesel prices in his constituency vary by as much as 3p or 4p depending on which forecourt drivers use.
He said many independent fuel retailers have had to close in recent years because large supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda have come to dominate the market, effectively ending competition in many areas.
Mr McKenzie said fuel tax and the supply chain - and where investments are being made - are further factors which negatively influence the price of fuel.
He called on Transport Minister Patrick McLoughlin to back the Labour party's demand for an inquiry by the Competition and Markets Authority into the issue, saying drivers should enjoy the same level of protection from supermarket dominance as dairy farmers.

He then told the officer that he could kill the officer's parents. Needless to say, the police seized all of our client's firearms.

Family Worker
Miss Vicky Bishop
Family Worker
Hello. I would like to welcome you to the role of your 'School Family Worker'.
- Would you like to talk to someone but feel worried about when is best in the busy school environment?
- Are you concerned about your child's behaviour, learning or progression in school, or at home?
- Are you concerned that there are uncontrollable circumstances that may be having a negative effect on your family?
If the answer is yes, then your 'Family Worker' is here to help. I am available Monday to Friday from 8.45 am to support you in your families' journey.
My name is Vicky Bishop, and I have been working with families and children for the past 10 years. During this time I have supported many families with issues that have had an impact on their Health, Safety, Wellbeing, and Learning. This has varied from providing information and strategies around managing challenging behaviour, reward systems, routines, Finances and debt, Family Learning and return to work, along with Housing and Healthy Lifestyles. In a fast moving life such as today, we all feel the pressure and the demands of parenting sometimes require us to need a helping hand.
How do I request a face to face contact? Just pop into reception and ask for a 'Family Worker' contact form where you can request a suitable time and day to meet. Alternatively you can call the school on 01752 365250 and a contact form can be completed over the phone, or you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Will I have to meet with the Family Worker often if I complete a contact form? No. You are in charge of the support you receive. The support is tailored to your wants and needs, placing your children at the forefront.
Will my information be shared? In order to fully support you and your family there will be times when I will need to share information. You will be asked to provide consent for information to be shared prior to support starting. Information would be shared with School Staff, and external agencies on an 'as required' basis. If there were to be any concerns around your safety or a member of the family, then I would have a duty to share information with the appropriate agencies, with, or without your consent.
Will I have sight of what is stored about me? Yes. After any face to face meeting, notes will be put onto a 'Communication Log Sheet' where you will receive a copy of points discussed and actions for me and you.
I very much look forward to getting to know you and your family.
Vicky Bishop
A little about me: I originally trained and pursued employment as a 'Nursery Nurse'. Following this I worked at a Children's Centre in Plymouth as a 'Family and Community Worker' with children and families for up to 8 years. During this time I supported many families to access learning, explore safety in and out of the home, parenting strategies, healthier living and much more.
Due to my passion for child development, and studies surrounding education, learning and parenting I decided to attend Plymouth University to study 'Childhood Studies and Development'. I have a strong passion for working with parents and their children to enhance their experiences within education both inside and outside of school, and the many benefits this has on academic achievement and well-being.
I look forward to supporting you.

The Challenge Magazine PDFs are excellent digital reproductions of this classic RPG magazine. The page and cover scans range from good to excellent quality (the covers may show some signs of wear from the original), and all text is fully searchable. I just wish they had gone the extra step to bookmark them as well.
This particular issue has a wealth of information for the Twilight: 2000, Traveller, and 2300 RPGs. Two pages contain artifacts – post-it notes that weren't removed before scanning, one of which obscures a paragraph of text in an article, while the other obscures an ad, and one page of a two-page world map is inverted.
This particular issue has a wealth of information for the Twilight: 2000 and Traveller RPGs, plus an article for the Battletech game.
This particular issue has a wealth of information for the Twilight: 2000, Traveller, and Amber RPGs.
This particular issue has a wealth of information for the Twilight: 2000 and Traveller RPGs. One of the pages in this issue is upside down, but since it's the intro page for the JTAS section (with an image and very little usable text), it doesn't detract from the quality PDF very much.
I picked this up from hearing some small smatterings about it. In truth, it is really great. The whole universe the guys at GDW created is just stunning. Some of the rules and systems took a little bit getting used to (I'm a d20 kind of guy), but it works out nicely. Now I just have to find people to play it with...
What a great addition to Matthew Carson's Traveler novel The Backwards Mask, and a deeper exploration of a great character, Cassandra Mayfield. Carson is, as ever, in strong command of a suspenseful, military sci-fi page turner.
An excellent reprinting and expansion of a Judge's Guild classic. The images and text are very clear, with only a few image artifacts.
The original Starships and Spacecraft includes Ship's Title Papers, a design spec sheet, ship summary sheet, crew roster sheet, six different ship styles (with summary sheets for each), and numerous smaller craft (mostly shuttles).
The new material added to this classic book include a comparative ship size chart, a new shuttle type, and some ground vehicles. The pages with new and updated material are all clearly marked as such.
Love the game and agree the scan could of been better but the copy works great on windows phone and my kindle fire!
Love the game and have most hard copies. The pdf is awesome the copy works on my windows phone and kindle fire! I read this stuff daily being a T2k junkie!
Love the game and epscially the pdf version...works on my windows phone and kindle fire...the copy works great on both devices!
Love T2k have most in hard copy but love the pdf's i use them on my windows phone and kindle fire when bored at work!
Twilight 2000 was always one of those classic games of my post-D&D youth. Back then I grabbed anything that wasn't D&D. TW2k was fun, but not a game I ever got into for any length of time.
In today's eyes it seems a bit dated and even maybe a little silly, but this was a big deal in the 80's.
What I like though is using this game as a precursor to the GDW Traveller books of around the same time. Then this game improves in my mind as a link to the Traveller universe. Sure it was not really designed that way when Traveller first came out, but it certainly was the assumption I got.
The game though is still a classic and maybe one day I'll give it a go again. Or maybe as part of a larger Traveller campaign.
Not to spend too much time on describing this document, which the reader can easily look at for himself, the chosen contents give a good quick summary of what books are available and some brief indications of the style and tone of the campaign. If there was anything to add, a bit more on the setting and nature of worlds might be useful.
Mostly a clean copy. Unfortunately pages 38 and 39 are missing, cutting off the start of a 2300AD article.
Meaningful bookmarks might be a pleasant addition.
A fan produced MegaTraveller giving a complete design system for robots. It includes numerous examples with several old favourites and new designs.
Excellent - buy it

News Update on "Philip Pushes the Button"
NASA Langley's shy 'mad scientist' dies
By Mike Holtzclaw [September 3, 2017]
Philip Brockman was shy by nature and rarely talked in specifics about the work that he did at NASA Langley Research Center during a career that spanned four decades.
Brockman, a research physicist, was involved with the early U.S. space program and later did work that led to tremendous advances in airline safety. But his own brother did not fully grasp the scope of that work until Brockman died on Tuesday at age 79 after a long illness.
This prompted John Brockman to talk with some of his brother's old colleagues and to read some accounts that he had never seen before.
"He took a lot of pride in his work — he certainly did," John Brockman said. "But I didn't know what he was up to. He was reticent. He always wanted to stay behind the scenes. He would often contribute to papers and not want his name on them. That was just his way."
Philip Brockman spent much of his early career in magnetoplasmadynamics (MPD), a form of propulsion. Macon "Mike" Ellis, head of the MDP branch, would refer to this group as the "mad scientists" of NASA Langley.
Their work was key to the Mercury Program that sent our nation's first astronauts into space. Brockman also later devoted much of his work to improving safety standards for commercial flight.
"I remember him at JFK (airport in New York) spending 12 hours at the end of a runway in the cold winter wind, measuring things and looking for ducks and geese and air currents," John Brockman said. "I didn't realize what that was really about until I saw a graph on Tuesday night showing the sharp decline in deaths per million passengers since 1970. He was a technical lead in the FAA-NASA project to do that, and I didn't even know it."
Steven Harrah, who spent a decade as the NASA Windshear Radar Principle Investigator, said that Philip Brockman "helped establish the engineering fundamentals of airborne and space-based lidar that has led to numerous aviation safety enhancements and a greater understanding of our atmosphere and its complex processes."
Brockman was a native of the Boston area and came to NASA Langley in the late 1950s after graduating from University of Massachusetts. He later would earn a master's degree in physics from the College of William and Mary in 1963.
Dick Davis, a senior scientist who retired from NASA Langley in 2007, worked with Brockman in the area of remote sensing and the use of radar and other technology to detect turbulence, wind shears and other dangers.
"He was very much a cooperative guy, very easy to work with and good on teams," Davis said. "He seemed to think a lot about other people. He was very good about suggesting ways we could work together to do things."
Engineer Grady Koch remembered Brockman as "a valued mentor" as he began his career at Langley building Doppler lidar for atmospheric studies.
"He was a wealth of knowledge and always happy to lend advice," Koch said. "I'll particularly miss Phil for his skill in reducing the esoteric nature of new technologies to practical implementation and for his entertaining wit while doing so."
Brockman retired in 2003 and relocated to Raleigh, N.C., but he continued to contribute information via regular conference calls with his NASA colleagues. He is survived by his wife, Alexandra Campbell; his brother, John Brockman (wife Katinka); nephew Max Brockman (wife Jennie); and great-niece Juliet and great-nephew Miles.
Philip Pushes The Button
Rocket Scientist
1937 - 2017
Research physicist Philip Brockman pushes the button to start NASA's
MPD-arc plasma accelerator in December 1964 (NASA), Fred Jones
"While the Hydrodynamics Division sank at Langley, a few new research fields bobbed to the surface to become potent forces in the intellectual life of the laboratory. Most notable of these was magnetoplasmadynamics (MPD)-a genuine product of the space age and an esoteric field of scientific research for an engineering-and applications-oriented place like Langley. If any 'mad scientists' were working at Langley in the 1960s, they were the plasma physicists, nuclear fusion enthusiasts, and space-phenomena researchers found in the intense and, for a while, rather glamourous little group investigating MPD. No group of researchers in NASA moved farther away from classical aerodynamics or from the NACA's traditional focus on the problems of airplanes winging their way through the clouds than those involved with MPD."
— James R. Hansen, from "The Mad Scientists of MPD" in Spaceflight Revolution: NASA Langley Research Center From Sputnik to Apollo
In 1958, the Eisenhower administration, shocked by the 1957 launch of Sputnik, established NASA to be responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. NASA absorbed the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory in Hampton, Virginia, the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory in Moffett Field in Silicon Valley, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, operated by Caltech.
Philip Brockman was fortunate to arrive at the renamed Langley Research Center in 1959 as part of the first group of newly recruited NASA employees hired to lead the effort to meet the challenge of the 1957 launch of Sputnik. His interest was in the magnetoplasmadynamics (MPD) thruster, considered up until that time to be in the realm of science fiction. The MPD played a major role in reshaping the focus of NASA's space program, and it is currently the most powerful form of electromagnetic propulsion.
He was a member of the small team of scientists characterized as "The Mad Scientists of MPD" by James R. Hansen in Spaceflight Revolution: NASA Langley Research Center From Sputnik to Apollo. The efforts of these unsung science heroes were critical to the success of Project Mercury, the first human spaceflight program of the United States that put American astronauts in space, beginning with the first suborbital flight by Alan Shepard and the first orbital flight by John Glenn, and to all human space exploration thereafter.
Aerodynamics For Cognition[8.21.17]
It's very clear that in order to make progress in understanding some of the most challenging and important things about intelligence, studying the best example we have of an intelligent system is a way to do that. Often, people who argue against that make the analogy that if we were trying to understand how to build jet airplanes, then starting with birds is not necessarily a good way to do that.
That analogy is pretty telling. The thing that's critical to both making jet airplanes work and making birds fly is the structure of the underlying problem that they're solving. That problem is keeping an object airborne, and the structure of that problem is constrained by aerodynamics. By studying how birds fly and the structure of their wings, you can learn something important about aerodynamics. And what you learn about aerodynamics is equally relevant to then being able to make jet engines.
The kind of work that I do is focused on trying to identify the equivalent of aerodynamics for cognition. What are the real abstract mathematical principles that constrain intelligence? What can we learn about those principles by studying human beings?

Benevolent Artificial Anti-Natalism (BAAN)[8.7.17]
Obviously, it is an ethical superintelligence not only in terms of mere processing speed, but it begins to arrive at qualitatively new results of what altruism really means. This becomes possible because it operates on a much larger psychological data-base than any single human brain or any scientific community can. Through an analysis of our behaviour and its empirical boundary conditions, it reveals implicit hierarchical relations between our moral values of which we are subjectively unaware, because they are not explicitly represented in our phenomenal self-model. Being the best analytical philosopher that has ever existed, it concludes that, given its current environment, it ought not to act as a maximizer of positive states and happiness, but that it should instead become an efficient minimizer of consciously experienced preference frustration, of pain, unpleasant feelings and suffering. Conceptually, it knows that no entity can suffer from its own non-existence.
The superintelligence concludes that non-existence is in the own best interest of all future self-conscious beings on this planet. Empirically, it knows that naturally evolved biological creatures are unable to realize this fact because of their firmly anchored existence bias. The superintelligence decides to act benevolently.

Learning By Thinking[7.28.17]
Sometimes you think you understand something, and when you try to explain it to somebody else, you realize that maybe you gained some new insight that you didn't have before. Maybe you realize you didn't understand it as well as you thought you did. What I think is interesting about this process is that it's a process of learning by thinking. When you're explaining to yourself or to somebody else without them providing feedback, insofar as you gain new insight or understanding, it isn't driven by that new information that they've provided. In some way, you've rearranged what was already in your head in order to get new insight.
The process of trying to explain to yourself is a lot like a thought experiment in science. For the most part, the way that science progresses is by going out, conducting experiments, getting new empirical data, and so on. But occasionally in the history of science, there've been these important episodes—Galileo, Einstein, and so on—where somebody will get some genuinely new insight from engaging in a thought experiment.

Things to Hang on Your Mental Mug Tree[7.10.17]
I don't think there's any huge amount of intelligence required to look at the world through different lenses. The difficulty lies in that you have to abandon four or five assumptions about the world simultaneously. That's what probably makes it difficult.

Where Avant-Garde Thinking Reflects The Present[6.30.17]
20 years: Online platform Edge.org
Where Avant-Garde Thinking Reflects The Present
By Tobias Sedlmaier 6.30.2017
The online platform Edge has been looking for the big questions for twenty years - and for the even bigger answers of life. A critical appraisal.
Internet Presence of Edge (photo: screenshot)
In the beginning is the question. Born out of restless nights and ingenious inspirations, it is examined in cold daylight, perhaps focused more precisely, and sent out by its ingenious creators into the ignorant world.
What sounds like a diffusely romantic myth of origin is in fact the recurrent practice of finding Edge's Annual Question. On this online platform, major contemporary (mostly American) scientists and a selection of trendsetters have been formulating answers to more or less urgent questions of our time for twenty years.
How does the world work?
These can be very vague, for example: What Now? Or they can be leading questions: What Scientific Idea Is Ready for Retirement? Almost always the notion of big ideas—either brilliant or dangerous ones—resonates here; and of course, life, the internet, and all the other themes come in.
The answers, which are first published on the website, later in book form, can be long essays with examples and formulas that run five print pages. Or they are as aphoristic as Brian Eno's response about the value of the Internet: "The great promise of the Internet was that more information would automatically yield better decisions. The great disappointment is that more information actually yields more possibilities to confirm what you already believed anyway."
Master of Ceremonies of this sophisticated debate forum is John Brockman, author and literary agent, who is called a giant by some. The industrious intellectual impresario has himself written a handful of books, edited around fifty more and performed in an inter-disciplinary program of avant-garde events with John Cage and Jorge Luis Borges in New York. He was also a Godfather for the think tanks "Reality Club" as well as Edge.
At a moment in history when borders are erected more quickly than torn down, you can imagine the larger than life Brockman with his characteristic wide-brimmed hat as an iconoclastic breaker of barriers. He is equally at home in the role of the business-minded entrepreneur as in the role of the theorist well aware of the sensitive changes in the Zeitgeist, oscillating between Andy Warhol and Norbert Wiener, at the intersection of art and cybernetics.

Hi friends! Before I get on with the guide, I just want to let you guys know that I've recently set up an official Discord server for readers to easily contact me if you have any questions, and to more easily communicate with readers/viewers of my stream as to when I'm live on Twitch. It's also just a kind of general hub for all conversation relating to my stream and my guides, which you could think of as a Twitch chat for when my stream is offline. Overall it just seems like a really cool way of connecting with fans of either my guides or my stream (generally both), so I've placed this at the very top of my guides to ensure anyone that's interested sees this.
Also I just want to put it out there that if you any of you are grateful enough for my guides to want to support me, the best way to do that is by supporting my Twitch stream! Drop a follow, watch the stream whenever you feel like it, and if you want you can subscribe to me for $5, $10 or $25 per month. You you can usually catch me streaming every day from 3 PM to 10 PM BST.
If you have no interest in Twitch streams but wish to thank me for my guides you can support me through Patreon. If you're not familiar with Patreon, it's like a monthly donation to content creators.
Thank you for reading, and thank you even more if you do take any measures to support me and my stream. I make very little for what I do, so you have no idea how much that means to me!
Hey guys, my name is Vapora Dark. In season 5 I was Master tier EUW on 2 seperate accounts, in season 6 I climbed to Challenger rank 131 in 11 days on RU, and currently in season 7 I'm Master tier EUW. I'm an ADC main but mid lane is my second favourite role, and Syndra was my favourite and most successful mage in season 6.
| Syndra is a lane bully with high kill potential after level 6, who continues to be a powerful threat throughout the game with her 1-shot potential with Unleashed Power and AoE stuns through Scatter the Weak.
I hope you enjoy reading the guide as much as I enjoyed writing it, and most importantly, that you take everything you can from it!
Follow me on Twitter @VaporaDark if you wanna hear from me outside of the guide, whether about League, life, or just simply posting when my stream is live!
If you like Syndra and would enjoy talking about her, come participate in /r/SyndraMains on Reddit.
And if you ever want to see how I personally play Syndra, make sure to follow me on Twitch.
Subscribe to my YouTube channel if you'd like to keep up with my YouTube content.
Marks: Magic pen are the only viable marks for Syndra. Marks are for taking stats that increase your damage, and magic pen simply increases your damage the most of any marks. Taking any other marks will leave you dealing less damage than you could be doing.
Seals: Mostly you'll be playing against AP matchups, and these seals will protect you the most in these matchups. They also scale so well into late-game that they're a better option than flat HP seals.
alternative options
+ Glyphs: A mix of scaling CDR and magic resist glyphs are the optimal choice when playing against AP matchups, due to mages' synergy with CDR, and the fact that 10% is all they need to eventually cap their CDR at full items. The remaining slots once you have 10% scaling CDR are used on magic resist as they'll help you the most in trades against the opposing mid laner.
alternative options
Quints: The optimal choice here is AP, as it'll noticeably increase your damage and your waveclear.
I won't spend too much time talking about the strengths and weaknesses of individual masteries, but here's the gist of it.
As for the smaller masteries, it doesn't usually make a huge difference which you take and lots are viable, the ones I display on my guide are simply the ones I personally consider to be the best (and my opinion is subject to change).
The viable masteries are: Sorcery , Feast , Natural Talent , Battle Trance , Double Edged Sword , Bounty Hunter , Savagery , Secret Stash , Assassin , Merciless , Dangerous Game and Precision .
Anything else is unarguably worse than the alternative and not worth running.
|This is the best summoner spell in the game, almost every champion takes it and it's completely irreplaceable. It's the best defensive summoner and the best offensive summoner all at once. The fact that you see all 10 players take this in 99% of games just goes to show how strong it is. Syndra has no mobility and no easy way of defending herself aside from Scatter the Weak, so this is absolutely essential on her.
|This is the second best summoner spell for Syndra, in my opinion. It'll add even more kill potential to her pre-6 and post-6, and increase the strength of her burst in team-fights.
|The next best alternative to Ignite. This gives you a way to escape some ganks without having to burn Flash, but importantly, just as with Flash, it's not just a defensive tool, but also an offensive one. You can pop Ghost to catch up to fleeing enemies or get to fights faster. You can even use it while beginning a gank to make it very hard for the enemies being ganked to escape it. The drawback is that it doesn't straight up give raw damage like Ignite does and so isn't as useful in lane (unless you can use it to dodge skillshots) and it doesn't increase your burst in team-fights. However, it is also a safer option due to the fact that it can be used defensively as much as aggressively.
-Skill Order-
- Dark Sphere: The spheres you drop will remain on the ground for an extra 2 seconds. This means you have an additional 2 seconds to interact with them with your other spells. This is by far most important for Unleashed Power though, since it means you can more easily land high-sphere ultimates.
- Force of Will: Now deals an additional 20% true damage. All this means is that your Force of Will will do extra damage once you max it, and this damage will be unaffected by MR or damage reduction.
- Scatter the Weak: Cone width is increased by 50%. This just simply means your Scatter the Weak can hit slightly more enemies/spheres.
- Unleashed Power: The simplest of them all. Cast range is increased by 75, from 675 to 750. Basically, you can cast it from further away, which can sometimes come in handy for when you'd otherwise not be able to get close enough to cast it.
Dark Sphere
Force of Will
Scatter the Weak
Unleashed Power
However, it's generally important that you pre-prepare a sphere or two before casting Unleashed Power to maximize its damage. With blue buff this is easy, since you can spam Dark Sphere 24/7, but otherwise it'll take specific preparation right before you know you'll get a chance to hit someone with Unleashed Power. It's worth noting that with Force of Will you can extend the lifespan of a sphere for a few seconds.

Early Game
At level 1 you'll be taking Dark Sphere to begin shoving in your enemy and bullying them as they go for CS. The best time to cast this is when your enemy is going for a last-hit, as they'll have to stand still as they do it and will have to choose between getting the CS or dodging the skill.
Optionally you can instead opt to take Force of Will at level 1 and just harass your opponent with their own minions. The reason for this is that despite having a much longer cooldown, it has a much bigger hitbox that's extremely hard to dodge, so it's almost a guaranteed hit, whereas Dark Sphere is easily dodgeable by cancelling your auto-attack and side-stepping it. This is especially good against enemies with high CD level 1 spells, who won't be able to abuse your Force of Will downtime by forcing trades with their more spammable spells.
At level 2 you take Force of Will (or Dark Sphere if you started the former) for higher pressure. At this point you can throw Force of Will for an easy hit because of it's huge hitbox, and then once the enemy is slowed by Force of Will you can also land an easy Dark Sphere as they're too slow to dodge it. If possible, one more auto-attack will proc Thunderlord's Decree .
At level 3 you'll want to put a point in Scatter the Weak for a few different reasons: It'll help you aid ganks, it'll help you escape ganks, and it'll give you kill pressure on low HP enemies.
After level 6 is when you're at your most dangerous, as you gain access to Unleashed Power, which can do a max of 630 (+140% of AP) damage at rank 1.
|When you're going for a kill combo, it's best if you can stun your enemy with Scatter the Weak with a pre-existing orb rather than using the Dark Sphere -> Scatter the Weak combo, as this way you get to use the Dark Sphere right on top of the enemy for Dark Sphere's damage on top of getting to use it as an extra orb for Unleashed Power.
As you begin to have a lot of points in Dark Sphere you'll have a lot of pushing power, so it'll become easy to shove the wave and look for roams if you think a lane looks gankable. Roaming is especially good when you have Ghost, to make it harder for over-extended enemies to escape your ganks. The most common lane you'll want to gank is bot lane, since both enemy bot laners will be 1-2 levels below you at all times, making them easy pray. However, never discard top lane if the enemy top laner is over-extended and a champion that isn't too hard to kill; top lane tends to have far less wards than bot lane since it doesn't have a support with Sightstone to light up the top side of the map.
During ganks it may seem logical to open up with Dark Sphere -> Scatter the Weak; don't fall for that bait. You only open up with this combo if they have no dashes (mainly goes for the ADC), and you know for a fact that they have no Flashes. If they do have Flash up, or you think they might, you'll want to Dark Sphere on top of them and if they have Flash up, they'll usually burn it here. Whether they do or don't, you'll then pick up your orb with Force of Will, then go for a Force of Will -> Scatter the Weak combo, and this far more likely to succeed in stunning them than by opening up with Scatter the Weak.
Out of Lane
Outside of laning phase, you'll just simply want to group with your team. As Syndra you'll want to constantly try and create picks with Scatter the Weak stuns, and using Unleashed Power on any squishy champion unfortunate enough to get stunned by you. Even if you don't kill them (most likely because you didn't have enough orbs up, since you can't spam them 24/7 due to mana restraints), you'll at the very least probably force them to back, most likely netting your team a free objective or a won team-fight.
In team-fights you'll want to disrupt the enemy team with Scatter the Weak stuns; the more orbs you push at once, the more enemies you're likely to stun. If you have a high number of spheres up you can even consider using Flash -> Dark Sphere -> Unleashed Power onto the enemy ADC if you can immediately reach them after the Flash; it's recommended for you to have Zhonya's Hourglass if you want to do this, since while it's very likely to kill the enemy ADC, it's also going to leave you in the middle of the enemy team, where you're easy to focus. Going into Zhonya's Hourglass right after your combo will also leave you unable to be Exhausted, making it an aggressive move as well.
Remember you don't always have to go for the ADC though. Any semi-squishy enemy that you can get your hands on is a prime target to unleash your load on. Riven, Irelia, Elise (when Rappel is down), etc. You won't one-shot targets like these usually, but single handedly chunking them out for 60-70% of their HP any time they try to get near a team-fight can make them absolutely useless. And here's the cool part; Unleashed Power leaves 3-7 orbs at the feet of whoever you ult. If you're ulting a frontline, you can then Scatter the Weak these orbs for a massive stun onto all nearby enemies, turning your burst combo into a massive AoE disruption combo as well.

Micro Discectomy / Laminectomy
Minimally Invasive Cervical Discectomy is the removal of the portion of the disc that has herniated, causing compression on the nerve.
Minimally Invasive Cervical laminectomy is the removal of the posterior structures causing compression on the nerve.
These microsurgeries are performed through an incision less than ½ inch long. Muscles are dilated and spread (not cut) to provide a portal to the back of the vertebrae for the surgeon to work. The surgeon cuts a small opening through the lamina bone on the back of the spinal column and, viewing through a tiny microscope, locates and removes the herniated disc that was putting pressure on spinal nerves (discectomy). Muscles of the back are returned to their normal position and the skin incision is repaired with absorbable sutures. A Band-Aid is placed over the incision.
The Benefits
- smaller incisions
- faster, non-complicated healing
- less blood loss
- less pain
- quicker rehabilitation
In addition, the Minimally Invasive Cervical Discectomy and Laminectomy are both done as an outpatient procedure, have a quick recovery and a very good long-term prognosis. With only a short course of pain medication after the surgery and a short course of physical therapy, patients can usually resume normal activities in 2-3 weeks.
Risks include the possibility of recurring disc herniation as well as those risks normally associated with general anesthesia.
Related Medical Terms:
Cervical – of or pertaining to any neck
Cervical Myelopathy – compression of the spinal cord in the neck
Cervicalgia – a general term used to describe pain in the neck
Degenerative Disc Disease – arthritis of the spine, usually in the neck or lower back
Herniated Disc – Often referred to as a pinched nerve, and bulging disc, a problem with one of the shock absorbers (discs) between the individual bones (vertebrae) that stack up to make your spine. A spinal disc is a little like a jelly donut, with a softer center encased within a tougher exterior. Sometimes called a slipped disc or a ruptured disk, a herniated disk occurs when some of the softer "jelly" pushes out through a crack in the tougher exterior. A herniated disc can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg.
Lamina – The back part of the vertebra that covers the spinal canal
Laminotomy—A procedure whereby a surgeon cuts a small opening through the lamina bone on the back of the spinal column in order to see and work inside the spinal canal
Radiculopathy – A disease of the root of a nerve, such as from a pinched nerve or a tumor. Often, an arm or a leg is affected
Spondylolisthesis – The condition in which one vertebral body is slipped forward over another.
Spondylosis – A general term for age-related wear and tear of the spinal discs.
Stenosis – The abnormal narrowing of a passage in the body.

ON PRO HOCKEY; Shhhh, There's a Kings Game Going On
By Joe LaPointe
Published: December 21, 1991
LOS ANGELES— Let's not jump to conclusions. The hockey season is two weeks short of the halfway point and many teams, many times, have managed to reverse their declines en route to the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Still, a recent peek at the Los Angeles Kings gives one the feeling of arriving at the party too late and staying a little too long. Are we having fun yet? Or ever again?
Listen to what the sub-.500 Kings say and watch what they do. Last week, a frustrated Wayne Gretzky said he recently considered retiring, and Bruce McNall, the owner, said he might give up the team presidency and replace himself with someone a little bit tougher.
After paying large salaries and buying his team a customized airplane, it has occurred to McNall that his players may be overcompensated and underachieving.
"I'm basically a salesman," he said the other day.
Certainly, he is selling tickets. Every home game thus far this season has been a sellout. But it's hard to imagine 16,005 hockey fans making so much quiet. They boo the commercials on the scoreboard, and then they settle back.
These fans lack the manic-depressive quality of their New York counterparts. Start to lose here and most will just ignore you. Let's do lunch sometime, they say as they head early to the parking lot. (Hey, how 'bout those Clippers?)
In a Hollywood environment, a boring team is overlooked, and the Kings aren't very entertaining, at least for now.
In their last three games, all at home, the Kings beat Winnipeg, 2-1, last Thursday; tied Vancouver, 4-4, Saturday night after squandering a late two-goal lead, and lost, 2-1, to Minnesota on Tuesday night. Is cautious, low-scoring hockey right for the Forum of Showtime?
"Everybody doesn't want to be embarrassed anymore," Gretzky said.
McNall's message to the players was "fairly strong and harsh," Gretzky said.
"It really hit home with everyone; it was kind of a surprise and yet no one was shocked," he said. "We've had a whole lot of minor problems that have added up to big problems."
Perhaps things will perk up when Coach Tom Webster returns from his 12-game suspension for throwing a stick at a referee and when right wing Tomas Sandstrom returns from a five-game suspension for swinging his stick at a player.
But to what are they returning? A roster with nine players over the age of 30. This includes Gretzky, whose play used to be astonishing and now is merely extraordinary as he approaches his 31st birthday on Jan. 26.
Gretzky leads the Kings with 43 points on 13 goals and 30 assists. Despite playing only 27 of 32 Los Angeles games this season, he is fifth in the league scoring race and another title isn't out of the question.
Gretzky said he wasn't planning his retirement last month as much as he was asking himself: "Am I at the end? Have I tapped the well dry?"
"I won't take mediocrity," he said. "I won't accept being an average player. I didn't feel I was contributing to my team. I was more or less a detriment. I thought about it long and hard. The last couple weeks, I've picked up my game a little bit. I feel a lot better now than I did three or four weeks ago."
Larry Robinson, a teammate and 40 years old, was born when Truman was President. Robinson was skating in the N.H.L. when some of his teammates were learning to walk or skate or ride a bike.
Jari Kurri, Gretzky's trusty triggerman in their Edmonton era, returned from Europe this season at the age of 31 and he doesn't seem the same. He has 9 goals and 11 assists and is minus 9 in the plus-minus ratio.
Against Vancouver on Saturday night, with a chance to win the game on a breakaway in the last seconds of overtime, Kurri inexplicably pulled up and stopped to set up a pass while the buzzer sounded and the remaining fans (about half the house) gasped in disbelief.
Could it be that the Kings are a group of famous names, many past their prime, who are doing the best they can in a speedy, youthful league? Are they the California Angels of hockey, a rather common group of Kings?
"Age doesn't matter," Gretzky said. "That's like saying Mark Messier is 31 years old now so he should retire. How crazy."
Can they win with the current players?
"We feel we're tough enough," said Gretzky, who sees lack of another offensive-minded center as the major hole in the roster. "We feel we're big enough. We feel we have the speed and the chemistry. This team is a contender. That's what's probably most frustrating. We're a much better team than we have been for four years.
"I look back at the first team I played here with; we had 91 points. We played with a lot of players who, quite, frankly, weren't very good but worked very hard."
Last season, the Kings finished with 102 points. This season, at 12-13-7, they are on pace to finish with 77.
"This team wins when it works hard and makes the commitment, the defensive play, the good, strong, solid team defense," Gretzky said. "And we just haven't done that enough. Consequently, we've lost a lot of games."

I-A-B"s not condoning the kid"s hobby, we"re just saying... pretty creative.
ZEROCYDE -"You`re alive and live on earth, that means you condone pot."
Wtf? So, are you dead, or do you live on another planet?
Yes you are. You`re alive and live on earth, that means you condone pot. I think I`m the last person in existence that values sobriety, lol.
wtf? mario is fun, but.. c`mon.
Your attention to detail isn`t so great, is it? It`s a bong made out of an old N64 controller and he`s not on the roof. He`s on the side of a shed or something.
We had a steam roller made out of a 1 foot section of plastic pipe. It was industrial plastic and even that would get hot enough to melt where the bowl piece was screwed into it. I doubt that the N64 controller could handle even a fraction of the heat that pipe was able to handle.
