the audiofic archive is back online, but all of our content is not! It's taking a while to restore the full archive of files, and some are sadly missing. anything new since april 2016 should be here, and some of the REALLY old stuff is as well...but please bear with us as we move files.
if you have podfic files saved locally for anything that returns a 404-file-not-found error when you click the download link, please get in touch! we'd like to be better safe than sorry, and you may have something that isn't in our backup storage, so we'd appreciate a copy. <3
donate to the audiofic archive
i get a lot of people asking if they can donate to help out with site costs - and i really appreciate it! our expenses aren't huge, but they do exist. i pay for website hosting and for hosted backups of all podfic files - to ensure that we can keep hosting them into the future. you are welcome to donate via paypal, or if you would prefer a non-paypal alternative, gittip allows small weekly donations - recurring because bills are recurring, too! anything you can give will be gratefully received and used to pay for hosting & backups. thank you!

Operations and Power Engineering for the OilfieldThe Lloydminster region's affiliation with heavy oil makes energy and petroleum education programs a natural fit at Lakeland College. Our Energy Centre facility ensures Lakeland College is a leading provider of education and training for the sector.
For many years, we've offered the unique heavy oil operations technician program that combined heavy oil operations with power engineering. While this provided the skills and training to run and variety of heavy oil installations, the power engineering element also provided a number of other career opportunities wherever a steam power plant is used. This includes other industries, hospitals and other major facilities.
In 2012 a two-year diploma program was introduced. Heavy Oil Power Engineering (HOPE), further skills in both heavy oil and power engineering areas. As with the HOOT program, there will be a steam practicum and students will be prepared to challenge another level of power engineering, 3rd class, by the time they finish their course.
Lakeland also offers power engineering training online and during evenings, as well as a variety of other petroleum related programs including driver training and gas process operator. See trades & technology continuing education for a complete list of courses.


text: The collection holds large but unknown numbers of endangered, threatened and extinct species. For virtually all arthropods, not enough research has been completed to even begin listing endangered or threatened species. So this is a critical resource for understanding the previous working of and future problems associated with the disruption of natural processes. One example is the Hawaiian beetle collections of which possibly 75% can be considered for listing as endangered or threatened. Strongly documents pre-contact Hawaiian natural history (for example, beetles taken in excavations of early Hawaiian fireplaces, etc.). Important holdings in medical entomology, especially studies in disease vectors (e.g., parasites) in the South Pacific and Southeast Asia as a result of World War II. Much of the active collecting phase in the western Pacific & Asia was conducted in relatively intact environments that since have been strongly modified increasing the value of the representative specimens.

There's a new change in the Italian government. Prime Minister Mario Monti, who took office in November 2011, announced this weekend he would resign, after Silvio Berlusconi's center-right party said it could no longer support Monti's government.
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Berlusconi also said he would run for a fifth term as prime minister.
Reporter Megan Williams, in Rome, said most Italians, while no fans of Berlusconi, have had a hard time with Monti's government's austerity measures and higher taxes.

Today the 10th February the Feast of St. Paul the Shipwreck is celebrated in Malta.
The feast commemorates the shipwreck of the saint at the island's shores in 60A.D., which led to Malta's conversion to the Roman Catholic religion from paganism.
So, this morning together with my family and of course my camera we headed off to Valletta (the capital city) to celebrate the feast. Despite the weather being horrible and rainy i was hoping to capture some great shots of the kids enjoying themselves in the streets eating popcorn and candy floss and having a great time - BUT once I got my camera out I suddenly remembered that I left my battery on charge at home :( I do remember making a mental note to insert it in my camera before we left but unfortunately i totally forgot............ Thank the lord I had my pocket camera in my bag (which i never leave the house without) and managed to capture the special moments.
I'm not sure whether the quality will be great or whether the photos will be accepted on DT
but will have to check them out and see.
So I do hope that you will all learn from this short note - Always check your bag before you leave home :)
Happy shooting

My father was born in the typical Luo polygamous homestead. Growing up, we did not have much. In class three, I remember a conversation my Dad had with some of his brothers. Because he was the poorest among them they told him that wabiro neno kaka ibiro puonjo nyithindi. Magi biro mana kwa chiaye e kor pap (We'll see how you'll educate your children. All of them will be looking after our goats). My father always ensured that I tagged along during family meetings. He was never given room to talk. His suggestions were always dismissed because he had no stable source of income.
And so I grew up in a set-up where my family appeared excommunicated. I attended a village Primary School where teachers would make fun of how unfortunate we were. I grew up with a lot of bitterness. As the first born my father reminded me that it was my responsibility to save the face of the family. The only way I could do that was to study. And not just learn curriculum materials. I had to learn how to speak good English. I had to learn how to dress. I had to build my self-esteem up.
Two days ago, I was to meet a good friend. So I gave her a call and asked where she wanted us to meet. Then she says you're Innocent Ngare and it's very obvious we're doing Hilton. I said well and good. So we meet and we're having tea and croissants at Café American. The first thing she asked was which position my father had in government; whether I studied out of the country (from how I speak I suppose). So I tell her that nobody knows my father's name even in my village. That I went to Kokuro Primary School, sat on stones untill class six, managed to score 410 marks; couldn't raise money to join Nairobi School; ended up in Kanyawanga Secondary. Beat the odds and scored an A; and now in Law School. She still thinks I'm just being humble.
When my sister sat her KCPE and was admitted to Ngara Girls, I have aunties who wanted her to look after their babies because they thought there was no way she would pursue her secondary school education because we had no money. But there is this person called Jesus. What a wonderful Man. When the KCSE results were released and my Sister had a B+; I remember my father cried like a baby. The Kalonzo Musyoka Foundation offered me a scholarship to Eastern Europe which I turned down because I wanted to be around my family. I wanted to cry with them and laugh with them.
People sometimes ask me where I get the drive. This is just the beginning. God has been good. Honestly speaking, I'm in Law School, my sister is joining UoN in January. Tony is in Homa-Bay High School and top of his class. Christine will be sitting her KCPE next year. We don't know how God has done it. I don't know how Jesus did it.
My father has 19 brothers. Some of whom had concluded that we would be looking after goats in the fields. When I look at their children (dropped out of school, got pregnant, hopeless alcoholics) I don't even know what to say. There is this Mercedes that I drive. Whenever I'm in that car and I look back, I lift up my hands and say thank you Jesus. For this far you have brought us, and we have seen your faithfulness. Surely you are faithful to complete that which you had started. Jesus….. That's my boss!

Strong growth for First Derivatives after acquisition
Newry-based financial software and consultancy firm First Derivatives has announced that trading in the first half of its financial year has been strong, with revenue ahead of last year.
The company revealed that it received $6.5m (£4.2m) net of tax in respect of a shareholding in 1010data, which was recently acquired by Advance/Newhouse for $500m.
Brian Conlon set up the company in 1996 in a bedroom in his mother's house in Newry.
After last year's acquisition of Kx Systems, chief executive officer Mr Conlon - who was the winner of the Business Personality of the Year title in this year's Belfast Telegraph Business Awards - says that the company is working on maximising the opportunities of the deal.
"Following the acquisition of Kx Systems in October 2014, the group has continued to work towards maximising the opportunities this transformational deal has provided.
"As well as strengthening our position within capital markets, we are making good progress in new markets, and 1010data's use of kdb (a high-performance column-store database) highlights the potential in sectors such as manufacturing and telecoms," Mr Conlon said.
"We remain focused on delivering strong, profitable growth while investing in First Derivatives' future."
Goodbody Stockbrokers analyst Gavin Kelleher described the figures as encouraging.
"In terms of our H1 estimates we have revenue growth of 37% in for the first half, and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) growth of 51%, so you can see we are forecasting a significant improvement year on year," Mr Kelleher said.
"We will get more detail when the results come out on November 11."
First Derivatives is the largest listed company in Northern Ireland.
In 2014, it created 484 new jobs at its Newry base, after it received £3.9m from Invest NI, bringing the global total of its workforce to almost 1,500.
In June, the company announced a pre-tax profits rise of 120%, from £7.9m in 2014 to £17.5m this year.

Carnage comes to the one nation that actually had a successful Arab Spring
The fact that there are still tourists to attack in Tunisia tells its own story. Ever since it became the birthplace of the Arab Spring in 2011, the tiny north African nation has been the only country in the region to enjoy anything approaching stability after the overthrow of its resident dictator.
While Syria, Yemen and neighbouring Libya are now in various stages of meltdown, and Egypt has retreated back into military rule, Tunisia has successfully staged not one but two sets of parliamentary elections, forged a constitution, and slowly moved towards becoming a proper democracy.
And, as yesterday's attack on the beach at Sousse shows, tourists have not been put off coming to Tunisia despite Isil's previous attack in March on the country's Bardo Museum, in which 19 people were murdered.

Basketball Practice Drills
2-Pack DVD
with Steve Schmidt
"... Coach Schmidt is a great recruiter who has had a tremendous amount of success in the Midwest and has even branched out to find players in the South. He has graduated players to high-major conferences including the Big Ten, Big East, SEC and ACC. Many of his players have found success at the mid-major level over the years including in the MAC.
During his career he has coached 15 All-Americans and three National Player of the Year Award winners. Sophomore John Taylor, a guard from the west side of Chicago, has a great chance to be his fourth.
I could tell you a lot of stories that would outline the above mentioned blueprint in words, knowing that the mark of a great coach is more than just about wins and losses; but, I also know that coaching at a high level is a bottom-line business and winning championships is the difference between good and great. Coach Schmidt is married to the game. ..."

Make defense the staple of your program by developing
an intense and disruptive mindset within your players.
Legendary Junior College Coach Steve Schmidt is a Hall of Fame coach with four NJCAA National Championships. The common denominator throughout all of his success has been his defensive philosophy. Schmidt knows what works when it comes to team defense. In this video you will discover his proven system for teaching defense that is fundamental and fun.
Coach Schmidt starts at the foundation of any defense and demonstrates three variations of the 1-on-1 Zig-Zag Drill. Each zig-zag combination will teaches you how to disrupt the offense and create a mentality of being prepared to guard anyone on the floor.
As you watch Schmidt's on-court demonstrators in a 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 setting, you will see how he teaches his players to avoid moving their heads on defense as they guard, how to properly defend backdoor cuts, how to hedge a screen, be in help position, and be in denial position creating havoc with your opponent's offensive sets.
Coach Schmidt uses the Shell Drill to teach defensive positioning in the half court setting. Once your players have mastered the half court shell drill, Schmidt takes your through their full court pressing situation where your players can incorporate their 1-on-1 techniques that lead into a half court man to man situations.
Create defensive toughness at each position by running contact drills that also serve as conditioning drills. Schmidt introduces competitive drills that will increase enthusiasm and simulate game-like energy levels. To make the drills more game-like, Schmidt shows you how to uniquely award points to the teams who execute the skills properly.
Maintaining defensive intensity has been the key to Schmidt's success. Now, Coach Schmidt shows you how to teach it, how to drill it, and how to get your team to buy in to it.

Over 575 career wins - the winningest active coach
has developed 16 All Americans and 4 National players of the year;
Distinguished member of the NJCAA Coaches Association Hall of Fame (2010)
Legendary Junior College coach Steve Schmidt takes you inside a skill development session that has produced 16 All Americans and four National Players of the Year. Inside this session Coach Schmidt takes your through 13 different drills that will help your players develop better ball handling, shooting, passing, and footwork drills.
Schmidt uses on-court demonstrations to take you through a ball handling routine that will effectively develop all your players into solid, confident ball handlers. This series incorporates both full court and half court drills to build your players' weak hands and develop dribble moves that can teach them the ball handling skills they need to run your offense.
The ball handling drills lead into passing drills. With Schmidt's 3-Man Passing Drills, you can emphasize passing and catching on the move while working on weak hand development and hand eye coordination. Being able to pass and catch in control is going to influence the next move a player makes. As you learn about each drill, Schmidt will detail all the little coaching tips that have made him so successful at a very high level.
Make your players a threat from anywhere on the floor by implementing this series of footwork and shooting drills. Watch as Schmidt teaches his players how to get to the rim quickly using only one dribble to attack the rim and their defender. Your players will learn how to incorporate jump stops, lay-ups, reverse lay-ups, and right/left footed combination shots that allow them to score on any defender in the paint.
Refine the skills your players need to take your team to the next level!

former NABC District II Coach of the Year and MAAC Coach of the Year
Learn how to implement the most successful pick and roll systems use at the highest competitive levels all over the world.
Fran Fraschilla, international basketball expert, compares the American style of pick and roll with the international style and describes why the concept of having four perimeter players has led to more skill development within the international community. He provides you with a detailed look at the side pick and roll and spread pick and roll half court offenses that have made the international game competitive, even with the NBA.
Coach Fraschilla uses on-court demonstrators to show you how to space your players to successfully run the pick and roll. He demonstrates three, side pick and roll plays outlining actions your team can use to score off of dribble penetration in the paint or a kick-out option to the perimeter. These sets include the:
? Butler Pick and Roll Action that has made their offense so effective.
? Lithuanian Continuity Offense using side pick and rolls and dribble hand-offs throughout the offense.
? Spread Pick and Roll Offense that has been a big part of many international teams' rise to the World Championships. He offers several looks that will get you into your spread pick and roll offensive system.
These sets will allow you to confuse your opponent creating various scoring options. Fraschilla provides you with an "A" set look and Mike D'Antoni set-up allowing all of your players to have involvement in your offense.

Drills for Building Your Man-to-Man Defense
with Fran Fraschilla, International Basketball Analyst for ESPN,
former Division I college basketball coach (Manhattan College,
St. John's University and University of New Mexico),
former NABC District II Coach of the Year and MAAC Coach of the Year
See a logical, systematic way to build your defense.
ESPN college basketball analyst and international basketball expert Fran Fraschilla presents you with a progressive way to build your man-to-man defense through the use of practice drills.
Coach Fraschilla has spent years coaching and studying the game of basketball and has put together a thorough guide on man-to-man defense and principles. This is not an instructional DVD that is going to tell you exactly how to play your man-to-man defense, rather it focuses on building your program. Fraschilla guides you through extensive principles and philosophy that will make you think about how you teach your man-to-man defense.
Coach Fraschilla outlines his four points of emphasis that every man defense needs to incorporate: ball pressure, no splits, closeout and contest, and finish the possession. Fraschilla uses visual aids and charts to show the progressive style, both offensively and defensively, allowing his coaching staff to be prepared for any situation.
You will see six practice drills you can use to put all your defensive principles, strategies, and tactics together in various combinations. Fraschilla uses 4-on-4 drills to incorporate defending dribble penetration, staggered action, and defending screens. He emphasizes stunting and foot faking to take away offensive advantages when your defense is put into a tight situation. Coach describes the numerous variations you can create with a 4-on-4 shell drill, as well as:
? A 3-man series drill that will help you prepare for your opponents offensive screening action early in the season.
? Drills that will progressively build your man defense principles by using 4-on-4 and 3-on-3 half court demonstrations.
Coach Fraschilla uses the progressive build-up drills to make you think about your man-to-man principles. Coach describes ways to help you maintain your vision on the defensive end of the floor.
Coach Frischilla's building man-to-man defense DVD is great for any coach that is looking to improve their man-to-man philosophy or just starting out and looking to build their philosophy.

Govinda Patterson's Revolutionary Basketball Better Balance Techniques
From Govinda Patterson on Facebook
By Govinda Patterson
Read more here: ' The Man Who Wants to Change the Way Basketball Is Played ' by Govinda Patterson
This revolutionary ideas combine basketball strategies with techniques learned in the martial arts. I call this system the "Better Balance Techniques.
It doesn't matter how big or strong or fast you are. If you know your center of balance and you use it to control your opponent's balance, then you have a big advantage.
Why would you play off-balance if you didn't have to?. I think what I'm teaching can help shape the way people play the game.
I want to transform the fundamental footwork of basketball with an array of offensive moves and defensive stances developed from martial arts-based principles of leverage.
I envision doing this by teaching my concepts—and the offensive and defensive schemes specifically designed to employ them—to an NBA team and watching it win a championship with them.
I do understand I'm asking for a lot.
I grew up playing basketball in and around Mount Shasta, Calif. I was an all-star post player in high school and grew to be 6 feet 5 1/2 inches tall, and I played junior college ball at the College of the Siskiyous before a back injury prematurely ended my career. Along the way, I also had dabbled in the martial arts, including aikido, judo and karate, and I earned a brown belt in Kung Fu San Soo.
I didn't realize it at first that what I was doing was combining what I had learned in (martial arts training) and applying it to basketball. After I got hurt I couldn't play, so I thought about the game all the time, and it just made so much more sense. The center of balance - knowing your center of gravity - was the key. The techniques help so much with post offense, post defense and rebounding.
I did some voluntary and assistant coaching in California and Utah before moving to the Islands to be with my girlfriend, Lianna. I'd lived in Mililani the past three years and I am now trying to promote his idea to NBA coaching staffs. I'd talked with nine NBA teams and one WNBA team, but so far I havn't been able to get past an introductory stage and all the way to the head coach.
Every team has loved what I've shown them, but unfortunately I haven't been able to see any head coaches yet. It boggles my mind. I would think that any coach who wants to win would be willing to see me for 10 minutes. I realize that the NBA has hundreds of people calling them, and they may think this is just another crazy person calling. (But) I think this (technique) definitely creates a chance to give their players an advantage. Even if it's only a couple of rebounds a game, it's worth it!.
Basketball legend Bill Walton helped me in my journey. He watched and listened so intently, and said he agreed with everything I said, and then he wrote me a great letter of recommendation. It's opened so many doors.
"He has some valuable things to offer. I don't know if all of it works, but there are some things you could use. Looking at how he connects with players, there's something there. The problem is, you have to be a big-time coach to get your team to sign off on the expense of bringing a guy in for two weeks from Hawaii. And then there's the time commitment. It's just easier to say no. What he needs is the chance, once and for all, to succeed or fail.", says finally former Sacramento Kings head coach Keith Smart.

"This program has forever changed my life. It has taken me to new places and opportunities I never thought possible. I have turned an emotionally draining job into a passion that was re-ignited. I have turned from hidden-artist to artist. This is more than learning to teach this work; it is about discovering who you really are."
"I re-birthed my own creative spirit"

Securing the State
As part of Minnesota IT Services' efforts to protect Minnesotans from cyber-threats and protect the State's sensitive data assets, Commissioner Baden's continuing top priority in 2017 is to implement our five year strategic cybersecurity plan. The plan prioritizes initiatives for the management, control, and protection of state systems and data to protect the privacy of all Minnesotans.
What is the Threat to Minnesotans?
Minnesota IT Services supports more than 35,000 users and secures the private data of 5.5 million Minnesotans. We also serve Minnesotans by connecting all 87 counties, 300 cities, and 200 public higher education campuses across the state. At this moment, information security is facing unprecedented challenges and extraordinary opportunities. Advanced attacks are becoming more sophisticated and more common, testing the limits of existing capabilities. The push to digitize government compounds this problem, significantly expanding the volume of sensitive data vulnerable to attack.
- We must secure Minnesota's IT systems. Our technology systems keep state government running. If they go down due to cyber-attacks or other issues, millions of Minnesotans' private data, over $28 billion in annual transactions, and over 300,000 daily transactions are at risk.
- A major cyber-attack could jeopardize public safety and significantly disrupt Minnesotans' daily lives. Nearly every critical government function and service relies on IT systems. Outdated or unsupported technology puts essential functions at risk. If these systems were taken down by individuals and groups determined to disrupt operations in Minnesota, state government would be unable to effectively deliver critical services.
- Minnesota IT Services' plan to solidify the State's cyber-defenses must be funded and implemented aggressively. Minnesota IT Services' plan is to reduce the attack surface by consolidating state systems in highly-secure enterprise-level data centers and implementing advanced security and monitoring tools in a shared environment. This plan was vetted by private sector cybersecurity leaders in Minnesota who all agree the plan must be implemented as soon as possible.
- The cost of doing nothing is too great. The cost of failing to bolster our cyber-defenses could be staggering. A "South-Carolina-sized" breach would require the state to pay millions in identity theft protection costs, lead to millions of dollars in consumer fraud losses, and significantly diminish public trust in state government.
State Government is a Target
Minnesota's systems are probed for vulnerabilities and attacks are attempted more than 3 million times each day. Fortunately, our state has not yet experienced a major attack that has exposed Minnesotan's private data. However, Minnesota has experienced incidents that have exposed state systems and data to significant risk.
Denial of Service Attacks
- During a dedicated denial of service (DDOS) attack, hackers bombard websites with so much traffic that the site cannot be accessed by legitimate customers.
- In the last year, the Minnesota court system's website was targeted by Anonymous Legion, and was brought down and unavailable to the public for 10 days because of reported hacker attacks originating from Asia and Canada.
- DDOS attacks are now a tool of choice for hacktivists, subjecting Minnesota state government to complex attacks each week.
Ransomware Attacks
- During a ransomware attack, hackers encrypt data and then extort money from their victims, who must pay to get the security codes to recover their data. In most cases, hackers destroy the data after a short period of time if the victim fails to pay up.
- Several state government agencies have been targets of ransomware attacks, often after employees open malicious e-mail attachments.
- Though no ransoms have been paid out, rebuilding compromised systems and restoring data from backups is extremely costly.
Internet Attacks against State Agencies
- Hackers routinely attack computer systems that are connected to the Internet. On average, state systems that are accessible from the internet are probed over 3 million times daily from over 150 countries.
- Systems with exploitable vulnerabilities are often compromised within minutes. Once compromised, hackers almost always move laterally to exploit other targets within the first 24 hours. Approximately 50% of software vulnerabilities discovered by hackers now become full exploits within 30 days.
- Earlier this year, hackers compromised one state system that had outdated and vulnerable software. In two other cases, errors made by employee exposed sensitive data to hackers. Investigating and recovering from even small security breaches is extremely costly and results in lost worker productivity and damage to reputation.
Internet Attacks against State Vendors
- Vendors now operate many critical systems for state agencies, and hackers often target those systems.
- Last year we became aware of a vendor hosted solution with serious security vulnerabilities that exposed sensitive data to extreme risk. The solution needed to be immediately taken down, leaving the state agency without a function that it relied on to conduct its business.
- With the expanded use of hosted solutions, public and private sector entities now must have strong security programs to vet the adequacy of vendor controls. Even though state agencies use vendors more than ever, government leaders need to understand that they are accountable for breaches that are caused by vendor security shortcomings.

Defend Yourself Against Cybercriminals
To help educate Minnesotans about the importance of cybersecurity, Minnesota IT Services will be working to share important cyber tips for businesses, families, students, educators, government, and all Minnesotans. Please join the effort by sharing the importance of cybersecurity with your coworkers, friends, and family.

|This article is about a/an villain in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
Emperor Akudos Gill (皇帝アクドス・ギル Kōtei Akudosu Giru) is the Emperor of the Zangyack Empire, the father of Warz Gill, and uncle of Bacchus Gill. Despite his position as emperor he carries the AkudoSword (アクドソード Akudosōdo) with him for battle and shoots powerful blasts from his shoulders.
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
He sends his son to lead the second invasion force when the first was destroyed by the Super Sentai teams. However, feeling that his son is unable to control Earth on his own, Ackdos sends Damaras with him to oversee his son's actions and to keep him safe.
After Warz was shot in the hand by Captain Marvelous, he exclaimed, "Not even my father ever hit me!" Ep. 11: The Serious Rebellion
Eventually, Ackdos sends his two Dogormin to deliver the Great Warz for the Gigant Horse crew to use.Ep. 37: The Strongest Fighting Machine
After the death of Warz Gill, he arrives on the Gigant Horse himself followed by his elite guard who immediately throws Damaras in prison for failing to prevent his son's death. He then decides to invade Earth as a memorial for his late son.
One of Ackdos' elite guards, Zatsurig, offers to personally attack the Gokaigers which Ackdos allows and also sends some of his own forces with him. He is later seen watching Zatsurig fail, even after being enlarged.Ep. 41: Something I Don't Want to Lose
After Zatsurig was destroyed by the Gokaigers, Ackdos gave Damaras a chance to redeem himself by taking down the Gokaigers. Damaras, with the help of Basco ta Jolokia, succeeded in capturing Captain Marvelous while the other Gokaigers bar Don were seemingly killed. Ep. 42: The Strongest Man in the Universe Ackdos decided that Marvelous would have a public execution on Earth. However, this event was stopped by Don, Navi, the returned Gokaigers, and Basco's betrayal of Damaras. After the Gokaigers regrouped, Damaras met his end at their hands. Ep. 43: To the Legendary Hero
Realizing that defeating the Gokaigers and conquering Earth would require more force, Ackdos sent out a call throughout his entire empire, recruiting the bulk of the Zangyack's military might into a humongous fleet even greater than the first invasion of Earth.
Once his forces are gathered, using Insarn to weaken the Gokaigers, Ackdos proceeds to send the entire fleet down to Earth with the intent of killing the pirates and executing planetary genocide. Ep. 49: The Greatest Treasure in the Universe The sheer amount of battleships was the ultimate outcome of the fight with the Gokaigers and their mecha, with the Space Pirates and the manifestations of the Super Sentai's Greater Powers shot down in flames. Ep. 50: The Day of Battle When Marvelous and Gai boarded the Gigant Horse and fought their way to the bridge, Ackdos engaged them in battle. While Gai fought Ackdos, Marvelous reprogrammed the Gigant Horse's laser cannons to wipe out the entire fleet. Enraged that the majority of his military had been wiped out in a single instant, Ackdos fought Marvelous and Gai before they blasted the control console, causing the Gigant Horse to crash while they used the power of the Goseigers to land safely. Despite the Gigant Horse's destruction, however, Ackdos managed to survive as well, landing behind the Gokaigers for a final battle. Using rapid Gokai Changes, the Gokaigers began to overwhelm Ackdos before blasting him at point blank range with the Gokai Galleon Buster. In his final moments, Ackdos cursed the space pirates before perishing in a massive explosion. With the destruction of Ackdos, his son, his lieutenants, and the massive forces the Gokaigers had wiped out throughout the invasion campaign, the Zangyack empire began to break apart into factions, its influence and control over the universe slowly diminishing.Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Super Hero Taisen
During the events of Super Hero Taisen, Ackdos was resurrected alongside his son to be part of the new Dai-Zangyack under Emperor Marvelous, where he was easily embarrassed by Warz's cowardly behavior towards their new leader. During the battle against the combined Super Sentai and Kamen Rider forces, the Gigant Horse made both Gill's grow giant and they fought against Go-BusterOh briefly. However, during the formation of Big Machine, Ackdos was quickly destroyed when the transformation caused the colossal mecha to side-swipe him.

A 1-4 start in OVC play is not what SEMO had in store, of course being predicted to finish at the top in the OVC West. And that only win came against Tennessee State.
The most concerning part was that the Redhawks jumped out to an 11-0 lead, then Morehead State rallied to go up 31-22 at the half. Usually that's the other way around for SEMO.
Jarekious Bradley led the Redhawks yet again with 28 points as he scored the first nine points in this game. Tyler Stone finished with 15. Brent Arrington led the way for Morehead scoring 20 points.
SEMO is now 9-9 on the season after a 7-2 start, and that three game road trip to Missouri State, Murray State and Austin Peay was really the turning point.
Morehead State improved to 12-7 and 3-1 in OVC play.
It's still early in the conference season and the Redhawks still get some of the top tier OVC teams left on their schedule, but Saturday's game is a must win at Tennessee Tech, and it won't be easy either. Murray State is 5-0, the only undefeated team left in OVC play, if SEMO can get it back together, rack up a couple of more wins, that could decide who notches up the OVC West in the final game of the season.
However, Murray State is rolling right now, SEMO has lots of work to do.

Josh is an exuberant 23 year old "YouTuber" with over 1.5 million subscribers to his channel "Exploring with Josh" and he is now showing his audience Adventure Racing – as he sees it.
"I didn't know what to expect of the people – when I met them they all seemed really cool and nice but determined and want to always push themselves and explore. I mean what they are doing is intense, it requires a lot of inspiration and motivation."
Conducting somewhat of a social and marketing experiment, the ARWS brought Josh to a recent race in remote China for him to see first hand what adventure racing is and share this with his viewers.
YouTubers make a living creating videos and sharing them with their audience. Josh films his experiences while travelling and exploring. In his community Josh is 'big time' – he is in the top 3% of YouTubers worldwide and the majority of his 1.5 million subscribers are between 18 and 25. https://www.youtube.com/user/theartofrealitycrew
Anecdotally some people say adventure racing has an ageing population. Is this really true, and if it is, what can we do about it? AR World Series Executive Producer Erik Nachtrieb said "Through Josh we wanted to show an entirely new audience and demographic what adventure racing is and why it is the most amazing lifestyle on the planet."
There is no question that Adventure Racing is a sport that is dominated by people in their thirties and forties but why is this? The ready responses tend to suggest this age bracket is mentally tougher, can handle sleep deprivation better and has more disposable income for travel and equipment. Are these factors really what skews the average age of adventure racers towards the higher end?
AR World Series Director Craig Bycroft said "The average age of participants at the AR World Championship has climbed from 36 to 38 in the last five years. We need to look closely at this trend and see if we are still getting young people into the sport."
Josh said "I definitely think a group of my viewers will try out adventure racing. A lot of my people see how far I push myself to make my videos and these videos will open their minds to what is possible. I'm inspired by these racers!"
The AR World Series has now introduced a Youth Category for teams with a sum of ages of 110 or less (average age slightly less than 28), with the hope of stimulating this age group. However there is only one team at the 2016 AR World Championship meeting these requirements.
Conversely there is a strong Masters Category at the Championship this year containing ten teams which is almost 10% of the field. Masters teams must have a sum of ages of 190 years or more (average age just over 47)
Regardless of age, there are many things that make adventure racing so appealing. Josh said "One thing that blew my mind was when the winning team came to the finish line together, they literally held each others hands and walked together through it, and I felt so motivated, it gave me shivers, I felt their vibe!"
Josh will release 14 videos of his China trip including adventures in the lead up and the race itself. If you want to jump straight to the action of the race, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrHQMv7pipY
Can Josh inspire a new generation of athletes to enter our sport? It is early days yet but there are already enquiries from other YouTubers wanting to come and experience the AR World Championship in Australia in November.

text: Love manifested by use of the mind is a far cry from love manifested by the nature-spirit in the born-again believer. Christ in you nature-spirit love is described in, first Corinthians chapter 13. Jesus never attempted to live for God as do most want to get believers. Had Jesus attempted to live for God it would have been a life under law in bondage and not his own life He lived. He learned to live His life on earth by His God (Fathers) given nature as it please Him, John 8:29 this was the Sons own pleasure to please His Father. How was it possible for Jesus to do always what pleased his father? This was possible only if Jesus did these things by his nature he received from his father. He did by nature these things and living his life by his nature is what pleases his father. This was what his father wanted for himself and for his son. Total freedom is this nature indeed. The father wanted his son to live by his own inborn nature which nature is the same as the father's nature. This is because the father knew what was in his nature that was now in his son and the father totally trusted the nature in his son. This is where believers fall short because most believers only partially trust the inborn Christ in you nature in them. Most believers trust the Christ in you nature in them to get them to heaven or to escape Hell but rarely beyond that. The Christ in you nature in Bill provides them a means to get to heaven rather then a means to go to the father. When God put his son in the world it was a world in desperate need of having a true father. Did the father have to tell his son that? Absolutely not. He was depending on his nature and his son to provide the lost and dying world with what they needed. What did the sun realize that the world needed? The Son realized the world needed for his father to be their father. This was the greatest need the world had but they were totally ignorant of that fact. He realized that the world needed the same nature that the father birthed in him to be their very own nature.

Tonight's subject is "He Wakes in Me". I should say, "He wakes in us." Who is he? The Lord Jesus Christ, who is crucified in us. He was never crucified on anything outside of man, and because he was crucified in us, he must rise in us. Paul said, "I have been crucified with Christ; it is not I who live but Christ who lives in me. And if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his." The resurrection, although not described in any portion of Scripture, is really the high watermark, the very center of the Christian faith. As Paul said, "If Christ is not raised then our faith is in vain, and we are as men the most to be pitied."

The Dustin Lance Black-penned and Rob Reiner-directed play 8 managed to net about half of Hollywood for its one-night-only L.A. benefit performance on Saturday. And unlike some other one-night-only, celebrity-packed L.A. live readings I could mention — Jason Reitman, you have received my petitions for video documentation of Aaron Paul as Bender, right? — this one has been posted on YouTube for those of us who couldn't score tickets.
The staged reading had such a stacked cast that listing it all in one sentence might send you into a famous-people-induced panic attack, so here's a handy playbill:
- George Clooney and Martin Sheen as the prosecution
- Kevin Bacon and John C. Reilly as the defense
- Jamie Lee Curtis, Christine Lahti, Matt Bomer and Matthew Morrison as the plaintiffs
- Chris Colfer, Yeardley Smith, Rory O'Malley, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as witnesses for the prosecution
- George Takei as a witness for the defense
- Jane Lynch as an anti-gay marriage advocate
Black based his play largely off transcripts of the case, which challenged the legality of Proposition 8. A one-night-only reading of it was also staged in New York back in September, with stars including John Lithgow, Morgan Freeman, and Ellen Barkin.
Clooney had this to say on the issue of gay marriage prior to his performance:
"One day the marriage equality fight will look as archaic as George Wallace standing on the University of Alabama steps keeping James Hood from attending college because he was black. People will be embarrassed to have been on the wrong side… I felt it was important to again bring focus to an issue that, in the very near future, we'll look back on and laugh at the fact that it was ever an issue. It's the right thing to do."
It's encouraging to see so many actors using their celebrity to draw attention to gay rights, and all the proceeds from this performance went to the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which helmed the court case against Proposition 8. So score one for gay marriage support. Now, Reitman, again, about that Aaron Paul tape…

But for those people who are novice in preditor calls big moose nevertheless, it is very important very first understand the basic strategies for major game preditor calls to be able to have a far more productive and enjoyable preditor calls best preditor calls.

The equipment used for preditor calls moose is very important for an effective preditor calls activity.

text: The Methodist Church will not formally bless same sex Civil Partnerships, although ministers will be allowed to offer informal, private prayers to couples. The Methodist Conference yesterday voted on the report on Pilgrimage of Faith, the Church's ongoing discussion about human sexuality. After a long and careful debate carried out in a respectful atmosphere, Conference confirmed the statement of good practice issued by the Methodist Council last December. While Methodist ministers may say private prayers with a couple in a Civil Partnership, the Church will not authorise a liturgy for blessing Civil Partnerships, and that Methodist premises cannot be used for any prayers for Civil Partnerships. "As Christians we are naturally keen to mark all of the key moments of life with prayer," said the Revd Jonathan Kerry, member of the working party and Methodist Co-ordinating Secretary for Worship and Learning. "But earlier Conference resolutions make it clear that we cannot as a Church offer formal blessings for same sex partnerships. This is difficult subject, but we are glad that the debate has been conducted in a supportive and respectful atmosphere." Conference also passed a resolution confirming that there is no reason why a Methodist cannot enter into a Civil Partnership. But Conference reaffirmed the Church's traditional teaching that marriage can only take place between a woman and a man, and its requirement that Methodists remain faithful within marriage and celibate without. The Revd Paul Smith served as a member of the working party and is a member of Methodist evangelical group Headway. He said: "As a member of the working party, I am pleased that the Conference felt able to accept the various proposals that we brought. They accurately represent where the church is at the moment on this difficult issue and they make clear that the Methodist Church does not sanction the blessing of gay partnerships. However, they also encourage ministers and Church leaders to pray with anyone who requests it at every opportunity. Of course this involves an element of trust in that a minister praying with somebody should not misrepresent the decisions of the Church. But trust lies at the heart of the Christian gospel and part of the Pilgrimage of Faith is learning more and more to trust one another." The Revd Cass Howes, member of the working party and a member of Outcome (formerly the Methodist Lesbian and Gay Caucus) said: "Waiting for the culture of the Church to change is painful but if we walk together for a bit longer my hope is that the Church will be a more accepting place."

It's time to modernize Canada's Access to Information Act, now

We do practice what we preach. We know how important images are and we love being photographed together. We got married almost 4 years ago, and since then we have only been photographed by one person. Our wedding photographer. We travel regularly to IL to have a session with her. We love how Deidre documents us and our love story, she always captures us and the way we love. After she took our family pictures this year, we did a quick outfit change, outside, in the middle of nowhere, and got pictures of just the two of us. I love these images. You have probably seen some of them on our website and here on the blog. They hang in our house and they just remind me how lucky I am every single day.
So in years to come as we grow old, I feel so blessed to be able to look back at these images and say, "This was us then, we were in love, we were doing what we loved to do, we had the world in front of us, and we could do anything because we had each other. "
