In your small group discuss your assigned question(s).
Where appropriate consider examples.
Present your question(s) and key ideas to the class.
2. When might fast dissemination/diffusion of an innovation in health promotion be inappropriate?
3. How can interventions be both disseminated through multiple communities and community-developed?
4. What is the role of community-based action in diffusion of an innovative intervention? Under what conditions is reinvention of an intervention appropriate?
5. What concepts are common between DIT and CBPR? How do the principles of CBPR relate to the elements of DIT?
6. How can the conflicting roles (and power) of researchers and community members be reconciled? Does CBPR bias researchers' objectivity? Does this matter? How can it be avoided or minimized?
7. How can CBPR help professionals facilitate the diffusion of appropriate, effective innovations through already existing or strengthened social systems and communication channels?
8. How could you integrate the DIT and principles of CBPR to address the varying agendas of groups involved in childhood obesity prevention?
9. What barriers do researchers face when entering a new community? How can they be overcome? What barriers do public health practitioners (e.g., state or county officials) face when entering a new community? How can they be overcome?
10. How can theories DIT and CBPR be used together to build coalitions, and then disseminate interventions -- among underserved populations? How could DIT and CBPR be used together to build capacity and community efficacy, use change agents, and use/develop social structure?
Communities are increasingly key settings for health promotion
Building community capacity is increasingly a focal outcome of health promotion
Different approaches to community-based health promotion interventions reflect differing conceptualizations of community(e.g., worksites, media, schools, neighborhoods)

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I choseand , the standard spells that you see nearly everyone that isn't Jungler/Support using, but substituting for can prove useful for catching up in lane, while your mobility is still slower than most.
Pros / Cons
Massive Crits mid/late game
Decent CC clear
Quick boost to AS and mobility for Escapes/Chases
Global Ult to help your team secure kills.
Easily focused out in team fights.
No natural escapes
Can be heavily CC'd if Remove Scurvy is on cooldown.
I chose AD Marks for an early advantage over your opponent in lane. Flat armor and scaling MR will assure that you have more than enough protection from both AD and AP champs, as you will need both early game to protect yourself from a wide range of champions. AD Quints can be interchanged with scaling AD Quints, depending on play style, much like how the AD marks can be swapped for Armor Penetration Marks.
I chose Fury/Sorcery for a boost on the already fast AS you have as Gangplank, as well as a good way to trim down the time needed for your Parrrley to refresh. take any Offensive masteries that would boost your AD and Armor Penetration, and finish it off with Frenzy and Executioner to achieve more Critical damage on your opponents.
Choosing what to use the remaining 9 points on is really completely up to the player's own digression, but I placed them in masteries that would give me an added MR/ Hp Regen, as well as More health for a great early game.
Following my Tier succession list will guarantee that your Parrrley with nearly ALWAYS decimate your enemy's mid/ADC. Most tops you face may laugh at your attempts to dent their health, once they're past level 2, but you will definitely be able to exchange hits with them, once you get Statikk Shiv.
With this build procession, you will pretty much always be in a good position against your opponents, as you will have steadily raising AD, Crit. Chance, and Armor. Your Scaling MR will see to you getting decent protection against any AP champs as the game progresses.
Once you have completed the Phage in your Trinity Force, consider getting the Boots of Mobility early in order to chase/escape team fights without breaking a sweat.

Boston ties 'Gibran' screenwriters to revered poet
As a movie about Lebanese poet and artist Kahlil Gibran gets under way, the Bay State has a starring role.
Gibran's "The Prophet" has been on college students' dorm bookshelves for generations, helping to make the 1923 collection of poetic essays a classic. Canton-raised siblings Rob Shalhoub and Grace Shalhoub Yazbek wrote the screenplay for "Gibran," a feature-length biopic scheduled to begin filming in 2014.
"I spent 25 years in Boston and never really knew one of the most famous artists I revered traveled the same footsteps," said Shalhoub, 34.

Howto Raytracer: Ray / Sphere Intersection Theory
I will show you how to calculate the intersection point of a ray with a sphere.
A ray can be represented by a point on the ray and the ray's direction . Any point on that ray can then be reached by walking times in the direction of from as . The set of all points on the ray is then given by:
A sphere can be represented by its center point and its radius . The set of all points whose distance from the center of the sphere equals the radius , is by definition the set of points on the sphere: . ( denotes the length of a vector.)
To find the intersection of the ray and the sphere now, we have to find the points that are in both sets. So we check if a point on the ray also fullfills the distance equation of the sphere:
We now simply have to solve this equation. The way we do it is by rewriting the length of the vector as a dot product. For any vector , its (euclidean) length is given by . The dot product of a vector with itself is the sum of its squared components .
So in the end we get the following relation:
The dot product has the same distributive and associative properties as the scalar multiplication, so you can do your maths the normal way:
The dot product is commutative , and after rearranging the terms according to our free paramter we end up with:
Now we reduced it to a quadratic equation in . Quadratic equations of the form have the two solutions:
Applied to our equation we get:
If and how many solutions exist depends on the discriminant, the term under the square root, :
- : No solution. The ray misses the sphere
- : One solution. The ray touches the sphere in one point.
- : Two solution. The ray hits the sphere in two points, one entry hit and the exit hit on the other side
To get the intersections you calculate the values and then evaluate the ray .
Left: No intersection
Middle: One intersection
Right: Two intersections
Finally some C# code that implements the ray / sphere intersection test:
public RayTracer.HitInfo Intersect(Ray ray)
RayTracer.HitInfo info = new RayTracer.HitInfo();
Vector3 eMinusS = ray.origin - center;
Vector3 d = ray.direction;
double discriminant = Math.Pow(2 * Vector3.Dot(d, eMinusS), 2) - 4 * Vector3.Dot(d, d) *
(Vector3.Dot(eMinusS, eMinusS) - Math.Pow(radius, 2.0f));
if (discriminant < -Mathf.Epsilon)
{ // 0 hits
return info;
else { // there will be one or two hits
float front = -2.0f * Vector3.Dot(d, eMinusS);
float denominator = 2.0f * Vector3.Dot(d, d);
if (discriminant <= Mathf.Epsilon)
{ // 1 hit
info.time = (float)(front + Math.Sqrt(discriminant)) / denominator; // does not matter if +- discriminant
else { // 2 hits
float t1 = (float)(front - Math.Sqrt(discriminant)) / denominator; // smaller t value
float t2 = (float)(front + Math.Sqrt(discriminant)) / denominator; // larger t value
if (t2 < 0) // sphere is "behind" start of ray
return info; // no hit
else { // one of them is in front
if (t1 >= 0) info.time = t1; // return first intersection with sphere (usual case, smaller t)
else info.time = t2; // return second hit (ray's origin is inside the sphere)
// if we are here, info.time has been set, otherwise the function would have returned
info.hitPoint = ray.GetPoint(info.time);
info.normal = (info.hitPoint - center).normalized;
return info;

Yes, I am by hard work and determination. Unfortunately, the only way to do it is by changing jobs. In my case due to circumstances beyond my control, I am looking for my next job that will move in the direction I need to go. Additionally I am starting two other companies on my own.

No, I am not.....anymore. I have finally come to the conclusion that I want more out of life than just my career. I love to write, buy and sell antiques and books, metal detecting, travelling and more. At this stage of my life I no longer aspire to climb the corporate ladder. I am formulating a plan to retire early and spend the next several years in pursuit of life and happiness. During my early years I never had the money to do the things I wanted and now I never have the time due to my career. After all these years I have finally realized that I want the "time" much more than the money.. By October I will be free and I can't wait.....life I'm back!!!

Mammography Screening
As with Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope for Cancer, this beautiful quilt at St. Joseph's Hospital signifies HOPE for breast cancer diagnosis and survival. The Mammography Section of our Diagnostic Imaging Department is extremely proud of the symbol of commitment that this quilt represents. This commitment is a joint effort between our Mammography Program and our Breast Health Volunteer Group. We offer this joint commitment to the women of the Comox Valley in the hope that we will make an early diagnosis of all breast cancers so that the women who are diagnosed will survive. We applaud and thank Nora Lewis for her creativity and design.
Along with the Screening Mammography Program of B.C., we advocate for the three cornerstones of breast health: regular breast self-examination, regular mammography and an annual physical examination by a physician.
All women between the ages of 40 and 50 are eligible to participate annually in the Screening Program of B.C. It is recommended that women between 50-74 participate biennially unless they have new symptoms. This service is available to women without a visit to their physician and can be accessed by phoning the Screening booking clerk at 890-3020 or by calling toll free 1-800-663-9203.. We have been offering the program at St. Joseph's Hospital since 1998 and are pleased that , as well as the examination, we provide a fast tracking reporting system that reduces the reporting time if an abnormality is found. Since 1998, we have seen 6,300 women which represents only about 30% of the eligible women. We encourage more women to participate as early detection is the key to survival of a breast cancer.
We read the results of a recently released cross-Canada study comparing mortality from breast cancer in two groups of women aged 50-59. The main findings of the study were: Cancers were found earlier in women receiving mammography and there was no difference in the death rates from breast cancer in the two groups. However, the significant fact remains that the study was conducted between 1980-1985 and that the technology of early detection with mammography has changed dramatically since the late 1980's. We know and understand that thorough physical examinations provide a complimentary way to detect breast cancer in addition to the use of mammography.
Admire our beautiful quilt when you come for your mammogram.

Most kebabs come in the form of meat, chicken, or shrimp skewered on bamboo sticks; sometimes a few grilled vegetables are thrown into the mix to break up the monotony of color. But how often do you see a skewer devoted completely to vegetables? And raw vegetables, at that? Salad on a stick is a fun, colorful way to eat your vegetables–and it's perfect for the upcoming barbecue season!
6 small romaine bunches-3 bell peppers, red and yellow, cut into 1 inch squares
1 cucumber, cut into rounds
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup kalamata olives
Whole wheat ciabatta, toasted, torn into 1 inch squares
1/4 cup Pesto
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
Lemon juice
Bamboo/wooden skewers
1. Thread vegetables, olives and bread onto skewers
2. Mix pesto with olive oil and lemon juice; drizzle over skewers
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper
Why Should You Eat This?
The USDA recommends that you eat 2 1/2 to 4 cups of veggies per day, depending on your age, gender, and activity level (calculate your needs here). But many Americans fall short on this recommendation. Whether you're not meeting these recommendations because you're getting tired of the same old spinach salad or you tend to fill up on packaged foods, salad skewers are a fun and novel way of eating vegetables. They're a perfect side to your summer picnic or barbecue, but they're also a great on-the-go snack–just grab a skewer and head out the door.

At least 1
B12 Fortified Foods
Or B12 supplement
Vitamin B12
1-2 litre of water per day (at least eight glasses) should also be consumed as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Tea, especially herbal teas, can be counted as water.
Research shows that results in diabetics who follow a low-fat, wholefood, vegan diet are better than any single drug can produce (Barnard, 2007).
A plant-based diet not only helps with the management of diabetes but is also extremely effective in reducing the common complications associated with it – cardiovascular disease, raised cholesterol, kidney and eye complications. Plant-based means no cholesterol, no animal protein and only a little saturated fat, which puts less strain on the kidneys, can help the heart work better and cuts down the risk of cancer.
A review of 11 scientific papers on diabetes and diets based around high-fibre foods and carbohydrates showed, in every study, that diet can improve blood sugar control and cholesterol levels (Anderson et al., 1987). These findings support a more recent large population study which examined the relationship between dietary factors, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome (McKeown et al., 2004). It revealed that the greater the intake of high-fibre, whole grain foods with a low GI, the lower the incidence of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
Wholegrains are rich in complex carbohydrates, pulses are high in protein and all have a low GI. Virtually all vegetables have a low GI and contain many essential vitamins and minerals, as well as cancer fighting antioxidants.
It is a common misconception that because fruits are sweet, they should be avoided by diabetics. In fact, nearly all fruits have a low GI, the only exceptions being watermelon and pineapple. Moreover, they are rich in antioxidants and contain a wealth of vitamins and minerals.
Important note on grapefruit: grapefruit or grapefruit juice can influence the effects of some medications (Saito et al., 2005). For example, they can increase the blood concentration of some blood pressure and cholesterol lowering drugs, antihistamines and some psychiatric medications. If you are on any kind of medication, it is necessary to consult your doctor on
how grapefruit might affect you.
To ensure sufficient intake of essential omega-3 fats, natural sources should be made part of a daily diet – flaxseed (linseed), hempseed, walnuts and their oils and rapeseed oil. Nevertheless, the body requires only small amounts of these oils, so the low-fat rule still applies, even to these 'good' fats.
A vegan diet based on these principles is the healthiest possible, however, there is a need for vitamin B12 supplementation either in the form of food supplements or enriched foods, such as soya milk or margarines. This requirement is not solely vegan-specific as B12 supplementation is recommended for all people over the age of 50. B12 requirements may be also higher in diabetics as the commonly taken drug, Metformin, can reduce absorption of this vitamin (Diabetes UK, 2008).
The nutritional adequacy of a well-planned, vegetarian or vegan diet has been consistently confirmed. As the latest review concluded (Craig, 2010) – a vegetarian diet, including fortified foods, is nutritionally suitable for adults and children and promotes better health. The same review states that vegetarians have lower body weight, total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, blood pressure, reduced rates of deaths from heart disease; and decreased incidence of high blood pressure, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.
A review which focused specifically on diabetes diets (Anderson et al., 2004) came to the conclusion that nutritional therapy is essential for the successful treatment of diabetes and that the most effective diabetes diet is a high carbohydrate, high fibre and low-fat diet, emphasising whole grains, vegetables, fruits, pulses and low GI foods, and soya protein.

Hi, I'm koreancrimson, playing almost exclusively Shaco on 'chat is evil' in high diamond EUW. This is my first guide, so if I don't explain something, leave a comment. Shaco is my favourite champion for various reasons: he can do so many things. Outsmart the enemy, outmaneuver the enemy, pressure the map with stealth and be uncatchable!
Check out my stream ( www.twitch.tv/koreancrimson ) for more in-depth Shaco play!
AS Quints are pretty standard and boost your clear a lot - an alternative that you could consider are MS Quints. Only take them if you want to exert more pressure on the map and are sure that you have enough damage to snowball off ganks (where farm-intensive play is not required). (3 AS Quints are ok too).
The AD quint and a couple of AD reds boost your clear a bit more, but importantly give you damage for level 2/3 kills. Every bit of AD you take scales 240% with just a Q-E at level 2!
One can also consider going full AD reds.
However, the hybrid pen adds nicely to Shaco's damage output, especially early. Hybrid pen is especially efficient, because his W-E-R all do magic damage (Statikk Shiv later on will add more magic damage to the mix).
Armour yellows are mandatory in the jungle - even though Shaco has his box to tank a bit of damage, he's absolute paper in the early game and those 9 armour help out your early clear a lot and ensure that you are healthy enough to gank. Scaling hp can be considered and is an ok option - but if you are at risk of getting invaded early or like to have an active early game, these are not for you.
Finally, blues are practically up to you. Some prefer to take flat AP for more damage on your E and slightly better box damage, others take Scaling Magic Resist. Both are good options, but I generally prefer Scaling CDR to get at least close to the 40% cap with blue. The bit of Magic Pen again helps out with Shaco's mixed damage burst.
- Attack speed is a must in the jungle - ability damage doesnt help much with AD Shaco.
- 3% more damage helps you oneshot the enemy carries faster
- More AP and AD is great on Shaco's hybrid scalings, but lifesteal/spellvamp is good too (choice)
- I prefer Bounty Hunter, because it gives greater reward for risks, although Oppressor gives you a little bit more damage early on, since your E gives you a permaslow.
- The choice between free MS and better clear is up to you. I prefer the better clear for healthier ganks and more gold in less time.
- Assassin or more buff duration is good (up to you whether you are particularly buff-dependent or not).
- 5% increased damage is the obvious choice.
- Dangerous Game will ease your escapes out of sticky brawls.
- Hybrid pen is exceptional on Shaco due to his mixed damage. Penetration is good on any assassin, but 5% cdr isn't *bad* either.
- Thunderlord is the way to go here for more burst - this will allow you to one-shot carries at almost any point in the game. Stormraider's is ok but requires you to have enough burst (low elo it's ok but high elo I would recommend the burst due to less income).
An alternative build path would be to get Strength of the Ages in the Resolve tree (300 hp is nothing to sneeze at, although I personally prefer Thunderlord's burst), going Recovery, Tough Skin, Runic Armour, Insight, Swiftness OR Legendary Guardian (depends on amount of CC on enemy team) and finally Strength of the Ages.
Starting Machete is standard on AD - the refillable potion is good because I like to take Hunter's Potion for the extra sustain (I have little lifesteal in my setup and the extra mana/hp helps). You can start triple potion if you think you're gonna snowball heavily off the early levels.
First back - Which smite?
First back for me generally is around 900 gold and I upgrade my smite and get my Hunter's Potion for improved ganking and clear. Blue smite is good for ganking and for not getting kited by AD carries - red smite is an option against assassins and strong duellists (the 20% reduced damage taken really helps). Most of the time I don't look to duel anyone as Shaco though, but to oneshot the carries, so I'll take the blue smite. Green smite IS an option, as more vision is extremely valuable, as it helps you to more favourable ganks and enables your laners to not get surprised by cross-map movements by the enemy team. However, control-style play as Shaco is not the way he should be played imo. It's good, it's certainly do-able, but I stick to the combat smites on Shaco.
Your first power spike will occur once you complete your warrior - generally I'll go bot or to the solo lane that is easiest to gank and oneshot someone at that point. You can assassinate pretty much any carry at this point - but you have to be wary of other good Warrior junglers, because they tend to outdamage you (e.g. Rengar, Kha'zix, Nocturne).
At this point, it is a good idea to consider upgrading your boots: All boots are certainly viable on Shaco, but generally I tend to stick to 4: the 2 combat boots (Ninja Tabis and Mercury Treads) and the 2 speedy boots (Mobi and Swifties). Unless you're facing a lot of CC (=mercs) or a lot of AA-reliant champions (=tabis), I take the fast boots because they enable you to enter and leave fights quickly. Mobi boots are my boots of choice, because of the insane out-of-combat speed allowing better assassinations and much more pressure on the map. If you're facing a lot of slows (.e.g. Iceborn Ezreal and Frostqueen users), Boots of Swiftness are the go-to item.
Your second, and biggest, powerspike occurs once you finish your Statikk Shiv (standard itemisation). The reason why SS is so good on Shaco is because it gives you
a) better clear
b) waveclear for splitpush
c) much more mobility with the MS
d) a lot of burst on your Q since SS is guaranteed to crit
Finally, it's cheaper than alternative itemisation and thus presents the best power spike Shaco can hope for.
However, if I find myself snowballing heavily, I generally replace Warrior with Runic Echoes and if snowballing even harder, get a Ravenous Hydra instead of Statikk Shiv. (heavy snowball = several kills before 10 minutes).
Assuming you're doing normal, your third item will either be a Maw of Malmortius or a Titanic Hydra, depending on whether the enemy team has a lot of magic damage (double AP comp) or a fed AP assassin/mage that might worry you (Ahri, Viktor...). Titanic Hydra is my to-go item, because the active gives you an auto-attack reset that helps you proc Thunderlord easily with Q-Titanic-E and does A LOT of damage. The AA-reset can crit and on top of that Titanic Hydra gives you a decent chunk of health, which I find myself needing at that point of the game in order to not get oneshot before I oneshot someone myself.
After that, you can again consider to build a Maw and, otherwise, go tanky (to-go-to items are Randuin's Omen (vs. crit and Attack Speed), Banshee's Veil (AP casters) and Dead Man's Plate (vs. AD that isn't AS or crit reliant).
At any point in the game, if you're snowballing heavily, it is generally a good idea to just continue building a lot of damage, unless the enemy team is entirely squishy and you're able to oneshot any/most of them, at which point you can just start to get tanky instead.
How to Shaco
Shaco works best as an AD assassin in the jungle. Your job is to get to squishy targets and oneshot them - and then hope to get out. The way I accomplish this is by identifying lanes that are easily gankable - for example, they have no mobility (e.g. Malzahar) or your laner has CC (Twisted Fate) - and then I farm until those lanes are exposed. Farming non-stop is core to my Shaco play, as he relies on his items to have his large mid-game damage spike in Warrior/Statikk Shiv. THAT BEING SAID - farm is nice and good, but a free gank is a free gank, so if you have a lane with great kill pressure (Shen taunt, lock them down long enough OR burst them down fast enough), go for it. Essentially, Q in from over a wall, unless you know their side-bushes aren't warded. Place a box far enough behind them that they'll have to use flash to get away or walk around it, wasting enough time to get killed. It's important to note that it's generally good practice to farm near lanes you expect to need your help or that might be gankable in the near future. Shaco has an ok early game and his late isn't *terrible*, but it's better to get a lead and press it.
So. How do you press a lead once you're ahead through farm and kills? Shaco isn't great at sieging. If you're really far ahead and got a Runic Echoes instead of Warrior, sieging gets easier. But side lanes are easily exploited by a fed Shaco. Tell your laner to go mid instead and then start pushing down a side lane. With Statikk/Titanic Hydra, you'll have a ton of waveclear. Place boxes in choke points (jungle entrances) to create zones of comfort that guarantee your safety alone in the side lane. Once the enemy wave is cleared, wait out of vision (denying the enemy team vision of your position on the map), unless you can safely push down a tower. At one point or another, unless they have a great tanky duellist that can actually fight you, a squishy will come down to stop the push. If they're alone, you can easily kill them (that is, if they're a squishy), dive them if you need to. If there is more than one enemy, tell your team to push mid or go baron and then escape, using boxed escape routes that will slow the enemy down.
Remember that Q gives you a guaranteed crit, so Statikk Shiv will crit and do double its base damage after you Q on a priority target. Your typical burst combo is Q-Titanic Active-E-Smite-Ignite practically at the same time. Titanic Hydra gives you an auto-attack reset, so you proc Thunderlords with just a Q-E-Titanic very easily.
Once you're in the fight, identify large bursts of damage and/or CC that comes your way and try to dodge it with your ultimate. Shaco *disappears* from the map for 0.5 seconds, meaning you can dodge stuff such as Malphite ultimates if you're fast enough. Expecting a certain ability beforehand increases your chances of dodging it! Shaco ult can also be used to drop turret aggro, which is very useful for turret diving and makes Shaco a beast past level-6, as you can more or less walk down to bot and one-shot the enemy adc under their turret and get out (given your bot lane helps you).
Objective control with Shaco is all about boxes. Spam those boxes EVERYWHERE, so as to zone enemies off places of interest. If they do get feared by your box, they can often get oneshot by your team. A very under-estimated fighting tool. Another use of your boxes in combat is to block skillshots coming your way by placing the box in front of you.
If mid lane towers have fallen, you can wait outside of vision and then Q forward to your wave, as generally an enemy carry (i.e. juicy squishy target) will be clearing the wave. Don't be afraid of 1v2 or 1v3 even unless they have extremely good peel (e.g. Janna, Lulu), including big shields/heals and instantaneous CC. Generally lane wards do not exist below diamond so your chance of successfully getting to your target are surprisingly high. Lane ganks in general are quite effective with Shaco, especially once you have Mobility boots for that extra movement speed.
Why/When Runic Echoes
With the introduction of Runic Echoes, I found it fits Shaco's playstyle quite well. He has decent AP scaling, Runic Echoes gives you a lot of mobility with that 7% extra movespeed and your jungle clear is greatly enhanced by AOE and mana sustain.
Additionally, the Echoes passive procs on your E, which makes your poke quite potent and increases your sieging potential, as well as powering up boxes (which again, even if not maxed, will do quite a bit more damage).
On top of that, you can proc thunderlords with just a Q-E, because the echoes passive counts as a thunderlords stack for some nice instantaneous burst.
An added bonus is that your damage is largely shifted towards magic damage (around 70% of your damage to champions will be magic), making magic penetration more efficient and thus allowing you to buy Sorcerer's Boots, which in my opinion, are really good on AD Shaco. In fact, I found myself buying them even before Runic Echoes was introduced whenever I was snowballing very hard, because your main goal will be to oneshot squishies as fast as possible (i.e. largely in one thunderlord proc) - E, statikk shiv and thunderlords all do a lot of magic damage, so magic penetration is surprisingly good on Shaco. Going slightly more AP Shaco with Runic Echoes just makes it this much more efficient.
On top of all of this, Runic Echoes is *also* a very good choice when your team distinctly lacks AP damage. Shaco already does mixed damage, but going Runic Echoes will ensure that your team doesn't fail because of the enemy's armour stacking tanks.

Made, sold and shipped to you by the maker
Only one available
The ring is made of a single piece of long silver wire that is hammered on the surface in order to create repetitive, somewhat unevenly applied geometrical pattern on the front of The ring - the back and inside is plain. We have used a 1mm thick silver wire with square profile and manipulated the surface with fast, heavy strikes by using the narrow side of the cross peen hammer. The wire was then wrapped 10 times and soldered finely (the connection is hardly visible) at the back to create the final shape of The ring. It is a modern piece of jewelry, visually striking thanks to its hammered pattern, slightly asymmetrical and comfortable to wear. Suitable for women and men.
We can make these rings and have them shipped in about 2-3 weeks after ordering. We usually make sizes 6,7,8 and 9; however, let us know in case you need the size personalized for smaller, bigger or in-between sizes.
Our products are handcrafted in 95-98% Silver by Thai Karen hill-tribe artisans.
The Karen are a group of ethnic peoples who reside primarily in southern and southeastern Burma and in northern and north-eastern Thailand. Thai and Burmese hill tribes can be traced back to the 12th century when they are said to have originated from Tibet.
With a higher silver content than sterling silver, Karen silver has a weight, bright satin color and feel, all of its own. Every piece is handmade and individual.
The product comes in a lovely handmade Thai bamboo-weaved box.

A Teacher, A Pen, And A Handshake - Poem by Sophia White
A teacher, a pen, a handshake.
Three deaths in one day
And each a death-toll in my heart.
I cannot even pray
My soul is so overwrought.
How much light can the darkness take?
Does eternity truly hold us apart?
A teacher, a pen, a handshake.
Three bodies in one grave.
Oh, you wretched world, mourn deep!
For one who freely gave
Of truth and love and soulful ink.
I fear my soul and heart shall break!
For death has taken them into it's keep.
A teacher, a pen, a handshake.
Three stars fallen in space
Which once burned bright as the tears
Burning on my face.
How solemn strike the chords of death
Such a mournful tune they make –
And the Weaver of Worlds on a bier!

In other words, you gave far too few information to get a better answer. It is as if you've said "I'd like to buy a car which will fit into my garage", but we don't know anything about your garage or the car, not even the colour you prefer.
So, if we presume that you own a (relatively new) PC which runs under MS Windows XP operating system, after you visit Oracle Technology Network (suggested by Anacedent), in the upper-right corner you'll notice two free products - Oracle 10g Express Edition database and Oracle SQL Developer (GUI tool which will make your life easier).
Download those products (or only the XE database), install them (make sure you read Installation Guides) and that should do it ... Don't forget to visit the Documentation page to find the books you'll be interested in. Getting Started section of the 10g Documentation might be useful for you.

As a woman, writing from a male perspective is challenging. There are so many differences in the way men and women react or feel. However, men have written female characters or played female roles onstage for a long time. It is only fair that women should be able to write effective male main characters.
The fundamentals of human behavior, thought and emotion know no boundaries. Sometimes women act more like men, and sometimes men more like women. Deep inside, we all feel the same fears, hopes and joys. The interesting part is how we express those feelings and, I believe that well-written characters who are complex will be good whether or not they match the gender of the writer. After all, J.K. Rowling (a woman) wrote the memorable character, Harry Potter (a boy/young man), who endured through a seven book series.
I am really just encouraging myself here, since one of my projects has male protagonists. I can do this, right?

WATCH: Helen And Waheeda Rahman Make Their Dubsmash Debut With This Adorable Thumka
05/11/2015 3:56 PM IST | Updated 15/07/2016 8:25 AM IST
Prajakta Hebbar News Producer, HuffPost India
Actors Helen and Waheeda Rahman would like to have you know that they've still got what it takes to be India's dancing queens. They two heroines, both in their late 70s, matched steps to do a Dubsmash version of the title track of Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor's upcoming film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
Helen, dressed in a pale brown salwar-kameez, and Rahman in a red sari, holding their dupatta and pallu (extension of the saree) over their heads, gave the world a masterclass in the Indian dance steps of thumka.
Kapoor, 30, who was clearly excited by their Dubsmash debut, posted the video on Instagram, with the caption, "I have tears in my eyes!! Thank you for @beingsalmankhan you're amazing! Helen Aunty and Waheeda ma'am I love you to the moon and back!!!! (sic)"
Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo is slated to release on 12 November.

Half-way happy in a relationship is sometimes as good as it gets
"It happens again and again that good relationships break up because one of the partners has exaggerated demands"
People who get married usually believe they have found the ideal partner for life, but sometimes after a while they discover that there are some flaws with Mr or Mrs Right.
High expectations often lead to unhappiness in a marriage, but before heading for a divorce court both parties should understand that there is no such thing as a perfect marriage.
There are marriages in which happiness, harmony, respect and affection are the dominant forces and there are some that are ruled by arguments and negative emotions.
Others lie somewhere in between — the so-called semi-happy marriages.
"Included in this definition are marriages that are neither unhappy nor happy," said Friedhelm Schwiderski of a counselling service for couples in Germany. This status quo is a chronic emotional split and occurs more commonly in long-term relationships.
The couple's demeanour toward each other is often very businesslike. There's hardly any room for personal matters and the two partners don't talk about themselves or allow each other into their lives. Tenderness and sexuality are pushed aside or were perhaps already on the margins from the beginning. The result is a hollow, dissatisfied feeling.
In addition to the absence of passion in a relationship or at least the feeling of butterflies in the stomach, unmet expectations often trigger a feeling of semi-happiness.
"Many people expect much too much from their first infatuation," said Peter Gross of the German association of psychologists. They expect to be held in their partner's palm forever or they are sure they are always on the same wavelength as their partner.
"Expectations such as these are of course utopian. After all what you have in a marriage is two individuals coming together, two complex systems with different genes and impressions. These can be completely different," Gross said.
Different, however, doesn't mean strictly incompatible.
What's crucial is where the differences lie.
"You should think about what is really important to you in a relationship. What is utterly indispensable and what is negotiable and what is an absolute no-go," Gross explained.
When there are grave differences between the two, it's sometimes better to draw a line and end the relationship.
However, couples are advised not to act rashly.
To be able to judge the relationship, the degree of togetherness the couple has shared should be put into the mix.
The partners should also realize that permanent happiness all the time is unrealistic, said couples counsellor Dariush Barsfeld.
It's an important step to accept these things because it impedes the pursuit of a dream vision of a perfect partnership and perhaps then making a wrong decision about someone.
"It happens again and again that good relationships break up because one of the partners had exaggerated demands and thought they were able to find someone who fit in every way," said Beate Landgraf of an association of psychologists and holistic medicine practitioners in psychotherapy.
There is no universal solution to the problem. It isn't independent from the cause of the semi-happiness. Boredom that sets in when the daily routine is always the same has to be changed.
People who feel they will not be able to have their dreams fulfilled because their partner doesn't share them should perhaps go their own way rather than give up on them.

Acme Comedy owner fears new apartments will halt business
MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - The owner of Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis says a proposed apartment building will likely put him out of business. Louis Lee worries that the reduced number of parking spaces that will result from the development will turn customers away.
"No matter how much talent we bring in, if they can't find parking they aren't going to come," he said.
The project is located on a surface parking lot at 721 1st Street North.
Developer, Solhem Companies, says construction will result in the loss of 120 parking spaces. However, by the time construction is complete, it will be adding 220 spaces on the lower levels of the building. Solhem owner, Curt Gunsbury, says 70 of those spaces will be for non-residents.
But Lee says he's almost more worried about during construction.
"While you're building it, what are we going to do?" said Lee. "While they are building it, my customers are already gone."
Lee says he isn't against the massive residential development he's witnessed in the North Loop over his 25 years at Acme, but he says he wishes the city council would consider what increased density does to parking.
"Build a ramp so that everyone has a place to park and then you develop all you want."
An online petition to stop Solhem's apartment development had around 3,500 signatures by Tuesday evening, as Lee threatened to move Acme out of the North Loop.
"We really want to see him succeed," said Gunsbury. "It's a really important piece of the fabric of our neighborhood."
Gunsbury said he was disappointed Lee didn't reach out to him before publicly opposing the development. He said he has offered to work with Lee towards a resolution.

Review for Gustafson Brothers Service Center
Kelli & Gordon G. on 07/13/2011
Spoke with Gordan. He said he would only rate his overall experience with a 3 because he was not satisfied with the communication between him and his service advisor. He waited for a phone call regarding the difference in price for a part. The previous time, the cost was $220, but the price he was told this time was $315. However, he never received a phone call explaining the difference in the price. Gordan would recommend that when there is a price difference on a service or part, a business person should call the customer.

I cannot stress how important it is to have a well stocked first aid kit in your house. I almost hate to use the word "kit" in that. It should almost be a closet, in my opinion. I have one closet shelf dedicated to first aid supplies, which is quickly filling up. I will need another shelf soon.
A tourniquet kit was one thing I was missing in my first aid closet. However, I acquired this Lia Medical tourniquet kit. It comes with one tourniquet (obviously), one bandage and one emergency blanket. I am certified in first aid, so I took the classes and practiced tourniquets during the course. I am confident that I can use this kit if the need should ever arise - which I pray it does not.
My husband wants to add this to his bug-out bag, which I am not opposed to. If a time should come when we do have to flee our home, I would prefer the tourniquet be in the bag. And if I ever should need it here at home, I know exactly where the bug-out bag is. It will take me just as long to get the tourniquet out of the bag as it would the closet.
I made sure this tourniquet was not cheaply made. It would not be good if it would break in the middle of tightening it. My husband loaned me his arm and it passed the test. There were no problems, not even concerns that it might not hold.
Full disclosure: I was sent this product free of charge in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

As far as days go, you couldn't ask for much prettier. The clear blue Utah skies let the sun shine uninterrupted over the river valley, and the occasional breeze kept the temperature in the comfortable low 70's. Nearby, the soothing sounds of a softly flowing river weaved their way through the trees at the water's edge, and each gust of wind made the grassy fields sway in waves, sending clouds of freshly hatched Caddis flies airborne. In an adjacent field, a herd of Alpaca grazed silently. Their methodical feeding halted only occasionally as they raised their heads to see where the one unnatural sound was coming from. Somewhere in the field ahead of the herd, violent coughing and hacking, with an intermittent gurgle was erupting from the grass.
MY violent coughing an hacking.
One of the billions of Caddis flies had managed to find his way straight into my lungs while I was walking across the field. Dressed in full saltwater fishing apparel (I own nothing else), I crawled around in the grass in a futile effort to hack up my lungs. Tears began to stream down my face as I struggled to breathe and eventually an Alpaca came near the fence to see what all the commotion was about. He silently chewed his cud and with an unblinking stare, he watched me struggle on the ground for a few minutes.
A fitting end, I suppose. Who would have ever seen this one coming? Slain by a rogue Caddis in the Utah desert, with no one to witness it except an emotionless cousin of the camel from the Motherland (my mother is actually from Peru). It's a death none of my friends could have predicted, although…Now that I really think about it…I doubt any of them would have been -that- surprised by the event.
But as you may have guessed since you're reading this, I eventually managed to dislodge the foul beast from my windpipe, wiped the tears from my face, and thanked my Alpaca friend for the help. I then grabbed my fly rod and set off to do what I'd intended to do all along: Fly fish for Brown trout.
Having lost my shoes in a fly fishing success story a few weeks prior, I was still running around barefoot. And by running, I mean carefully and deliberately taking each step, only cursing wildly every once in a while when my foot found a thorn. The river I was fishing -looked- fishy, but at this point of my trip I still had no idea what I was doing. None. My only real hope was to just get out there and try it. So I cruised the bank until I saw a decent looking hole, and walked down to begin casting from a rock. Almost immediately I noticed fish rising. BIG fish. Every once in a while it seriously sounded like someone dropped a bowling ball into the water when I fish hit something on the surface. Now remember, I'd spent the past 4 weeks fly fishing Montana in a very long trout lesson that resulted in only a handful of fish. So imagine my surprise when I big brown took my dry fly on the 3rd cast.
The fight was on and I immediately realized something: I was outgunned.
My 3 weight fly rod simply didn't have enough *umph* to get these fish out of the current. The fight honestly took over 5 minutes before I managed to get the fish to the bank. And it was then that I realized I was missing a vital piece of equipment. No, not my shoes…ok…Yes my shoes…But something even more important: A landing net. I splashed around barefoot in shin deep water for what felt like an eternity before FINALLY grabbing hold of the fish. I honestly couldn't believe what I was holding.
My first Brown! I'd fished so long and hard for trout the past few weeks that this just seemed…Easy. Maybe it was just a combination of things. Higher water levels. Different fish. Different river. Different hatch. Shoot, even I can admit I'd learned what to look for over time. Maybe I was actually getting the whole "trout" thing down pat? Regardless, I soon revived the fish, and started fishing again. With the same result. Just a few casts later I was hooked up. To an even bigger one.
Given that I barely landed the last fish, I pretty much had no chance with this one. He bulldogged his way into the current, and then just sat there. Had it not been for him slowly moving further up current, I would have thought I'd hooked bottom. Sadly, my hook eventually pulled, and he swam off. But was it really this easy? It was only 3 in the afternoon. Was this about to keep up the rest of the evening? Excitedly, I stripped out some more line, and executed a flawless cast about 8 feet up a tree on the far bank and broke my fly off.
Fantastic…I thought to myself as I began to dig through my fly box for a clone of my lost fly. And it was then that I realized…That was the only one of it's kind that I owned. Nothing else I had was even -remotely- similar to it. I tried everything. Nymphs, hoppers, you name it. Nothing was working like my long lost fly.
So I sat there on a rock and drank some water. All the while contemplating what I should do. Busily watching fish feed in front of me, I was startled by the sound of something crashing through the bushes behind me. Suddenly a man came staggering out of the bushes. An old man. A REALLY old man. Dressed in waders and a wide brimmed hat, he was toting around a 6 weight fly rod and had the overall look of an old fly fisherman. The creases around his eyes and forehead showed the signs of a man who'd probably seen it all, and slightly crazy from it. Not from life in general, but from fly fishing too damn much. It's estimated that every three hours spent fly fishing is frustrating enough to take a week off of your life expectancy. Given the man's limp he was sporting, as well as his overall appearance, I would have put him somewhere between 80-127 years old. But he crashed out of the bushes as gave me a big smile as he approached.
I was surprised to see someone there since I hadn't seen a soul since I arrived, but we began to chat and he told me that he'd been fishing just about all day and hadn't had the first ounce of success. I told him about my varied luck and he commented about how crazy I was for swinging just a three weight on this particular river, but congratulated me on actually landing a fish with the thing. He gave me the usual old man banter about better rivers elsewhere and the whole "it's not what it used to be" schpeal, and then said he was giving up for the day because he was sore. Why was he sore? This ancient guy had undergone double knee replacements, double HIP replacements, and a shoulder replacement. And here I was complaining about sore bare feet and a throbbing knee from an ACL tear in highschool.
Before he left, he asked me what I'd been using and I answered as honestly as I could.
"Just this little…brown dry fly thing…"
"Oh, like this one?", he responded, holding up his rod to show me the fly. "I've been throwing this all day and haven't caught a thing yet"
That was it! That's the same fly I'd been using!
"That's actually the one!" I told him.
"Well here…maybe you'll have better luck with it than I did", he finished, and snipped the fly off to give to me.
I thanked him profusely and he said he needed to get going. I told him bye and he wished me good luck before disappearing back into the bushes. Quickly I tied on the new fly and walked up to a fence that overlooked the field with the Alpacas in order to get further down the river. This field was the only point of access to this river, so I expected to see the man walking back to his truck. But it was then that I realized something…There were no other cars when I parked. I was alone out there. To add to the mystery? The man was gone. Like, GONE, gone. As easily as he'd appeared, he'd disappeared.
Was he even real? It was like the Ghost of Fly Fishing Future. If I kept fly fishing like this, I was assuredly going to end up just like him. Was that what I have to look forward to?
Regardless…The fly was very real. And I proceeded to slay the fish with it.
Still outgunned, I only managed to land two other fish, and lost another 5. Oh, and of the ones I landed? Thanks to not having a net, I managed to finally bare hand a fish before he flopped from my grip, and snapped the line…Money Fly in tow. Just as easily as that fly had entered my world, it was gone. And as far as I was concerned, my day was over.
I learned a lot from my time spent out west. As a die hard saltwater guy, I'd always kinda poo-poo'd coldwater trout fishing. It was something that never really interested me because it was something I knew -nothing- about. Having lived and breathed it for over a month, I can say that it's something I thoroughly enjoy. It's extremely technical and challenging. No two rivers are the same, nor are any two days. What worked yesterday won't necessarily work today. And it's details like this that keep the game ever changing and keep the angler on his toes. Of course I love paddling out a giant bloody piece of bait for shark fishing here in Florida, but western trout fishing has managed to find its way into my heart, and I'm sure I'll be back sooner or later to get that fix. Maybe next time I'll get to run into the Ghost of Flyfishing Future again and thank him, and maybe next time I won't be outgunned in the desert.
