The summer picnic circuit included a pair of stops in Bullitt County. St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church held its picnic in early June and St. Benedict Catholic Church held its picnic last weekend.
St. Aloysius Catholic Church didn't hold a picnic last month but is planning a social event later in the year.

MOUNT WASHINGTON — Just in time for summer visitors, the Little Free Library is now open at the Bernheim Forest.
The idea took root in Beth Fox's Mount Washington Elementary fourth grade classroom at the beginning of the school year.
According to student Berlyn Jones, Fox brought the idea up to her class after hearing about another class donating items to a local hospital.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- The outside learning environment in the center of Roby Elementary School has a new name.
The Mattie L. Owens Courtyard was dedicated in May with members of the Owens family in attendance.
Mattie was a Bullitt County native, born March 12, 1906 to Henry and Susie Simmons Owens, Sr.
Bowman's Valley School Committee member Gwinn Hahn said the courtyard now bearing her name is a fitting tribute.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - More changes are taking place, but the fun will remain the same at the annual Bullitt Blast and Shepherdsville City Fair.
The big event takes place Friday, June 30, and Saturday, July 1, at Shephedsville City Park.
The two big events merged five years ago into an even bigger event, with the fair sponsored by the city of Shepherdsville and Bullitt Blast by the Shepherdsville/Bullitt County Tourist and Convention Commission. The event is presented by the Zoneton Trowel Club.
The fifth annual Bullitt Central High School Hall of Fame ceremony featured the induction of 11 individuals.
Gwyn Akers, MD is a 1981 graduate and serves as Medical Director of Youth Villages in Carrollton, GA.
Jeni Brewer Carr is a 1991 graduate and the owner of JC3 Entertainment, Inc. She is a recognized member of the Country Music Association, has released two national albums, two national charting singles (Top 50 Country and Top 25 Inspirational) and is a BMI songwriter.
The North Bullitt JROTC attended the Cadet Leadership Challenge at Wendell Ford Training Center in Greenville.
North Bullitt had 20 cadets attend the incredible training event.
The cadets conducted a water survival course, a leader reaction course, rafting, rappelling, constructed a one-rope bridge, competed in intramural sports and each cadet took a physical fitness assessment.
They also worked alongside seven other JROTC programs.
CAMPBELLSVILLE – Kentucky's 2017 Elementary Teacher of the Year, Kellie Jones of Taylor County's Intermediate School, urged the teachers to whom she spoke at Campbellsville University to "keep your passion for teaching" and "Students today need passionate and energetic influence in their learning and in their lives."
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The show must go on…but it must have seven dedicated people.
That's how many members will be necessary to continue the Bullitt County Arts Council, or the organization will fold at the end of the year.
The council officially voted to disband by 2018, with the stipulation added that BCAC will continue with enough people in place to properly manage the group.
"We're at a concerning level," announced BCAC president Donna Burke.
BERNHEIM – In the past, Emma Rhodes has wowed audiences with her moves as a nationally acclaimed ballroom dancer.
But on Monday, on the first night of the 2017 Bullitt County Fair, Rhodes found success on the runway, as she impressed the four judges to beat out 14 other contestants to be named Miss Bullitt County Fair.
At the close of the two-hour competition under the pavilion, Rhodes was crowned the new queen by 2016 winner Erica Rhodes (no relation).
MOUNT WASHINGTON—How does a woman deliver her baby in the backseat of a moving car without her husband knowing?
Using hypnosis, of course.
Mount Washington resident Christy High first taste of hypnosis came from a tour with a hypnotist after playing Cleopatra at Caesar's. While on the tour, she learned how the craft was used for more than just party tricks.

"No comments," Dikshit said when her comment wassought on Kalmadi''s remarks yesterday that Dikshit and twoUnion Ministers, should be summoned by CBI which is probingthe allegations of corruption relating to the mega event.
"All those who were involved in organising the Gamesmust be summoned. Why just go after the Organising Committee,"he said when asked if he wanted the Delhi CM as well as formerSports Minister M S Gill and Urban Development Minister SJaipal Reddy to be summoned by the investigating agencies.
Attacking Dikshit for her statements against theOrganising Committee, Kalmadi said, "She said even beforethe investigations started that all scams are in OC. Does thatmean she predetermined all this?"Immediately after conclusion of the Games in Octoberlast year, Dikshit had said the "suspicion" of corruption inthe Commonwealth Games was on the Organising Committee headedby Kalmadi.
Dikshit had said the corruption could have taken placein the activities undertaken by the Organising Committee towhich the Central government had given loans to the tune of Rs1,600 crore.
Two of his close aides -- former OC Secretary GeneralLalit Bhanot and Director General V K Verma were arrested onWednesday by the CBI in connection with alleged irregularitiesin the Rs 107 crore deal inked with a Swiss timing firm. PTIMPB

Government needs to work for ordinary middle-class people who play by the rules, not constantly spend its time currying favor with, and then crafting policies exclusively for, the wealthiest. Everyone should have access to their representatives.
A 2010 Supreme Court ruling known as Citizens United allows corporations and super-rich secret organizations to spend unlimited amounts of money on campaigns to elect or defeat federal candidates, adding to the enormous influence they already wielded within the political process.
The system needs reform, and when elected to be Maine's next U.S. senator, I will do everything in my power to make democracy accessible to the common man and woman. I support two reform proposals currently circulating in Congress:
* The Fair Elections Now Act, which would establish a public funding system for federal elections and outline eligibility and contribution requirements, as well as prohibitions such as those on joint fundraising committees.
* The Disclose Act, which seeks to increase transparency of corporate and special-interest money in national political campaigns by requiring organizations involved in political campaigning to disclose the identity of the large donors, and to reveal their identities in any political ads they fund.
In June, a "leading independent" challenged us to limit so-called Super PAC funding in the campaign. We are open to that idea but are still awaiting specifics on the proposal. We went further: offering to cap unlimited personal funds and limiting the amount any individual can donate. Here is the text of our letter.

Retail Strategies
Walking through the front door of North Woods Optics, you could easily think you accidentally stumbled into a log cabin retreat. Perhaps it's the rocks adorning the reception desk or the waterfalls trickling throughout the store or the trees lining the dispensary. The growling bear in the kids' play room. Moose, loons, ducks. Not to mention that across the street there is a lake with public access for boaters and plenty of fishing year-round.
While the up-North theme pervading North Woods Optics perfectly matches the scenic town of Forest Lake, Minn., it may seem a tad off-kilter for an optical practice. But for Kevin Bahr, OD, what began as a few existing decorations organically turned into a full-fledged design scheme. "I had gotten these quacking duck fixation targets that I saw in my dentist's office," says Dr. Bahr. "I also had a mural of Forest Lake in the play area. These things both got such great feedback from patients that when it came time to design, I thought to myself, 'What if I just went nuts with the entire office and made it to look like this all over?'"
Dr. Bahr's impulse to go all out with the design did not translate into going overboard. While planning the new space, which was purchased next to the existing office, North Woods brought in an expert to help style the expanded office. "I had an interior decorator who kept me from getting too carried away. Once you have a theme it's hard to know where to draw the line. She worked with me on creating the look I wanted while keeping it classy. I just knew from the start I didn't want any taxidermy in the office."
Don't think for a second that Dr. Bahr's decision to bar real, stuffed animals from the practice means there was a drought in the wildlife department. The dispensary houses a huge, statuesque brass moose that greets customers beside the reception area. And each exam room has an animal theme. "I already had these swimming duck butts that function as fixation targets," says Dr. Bahr. "These really help kids focus when I'm fitting them for contact lenses. Since they have been so successful, I decided to get more of them—now I have moose, fish and loons, too. I have four exam rooms and each one has the theme of the animal fixation target inside."
Even with all of this wildlife at North Woods, for kids, the ruler of the North Woods animal kingdom is obvious—the bear in the play room. "We have this large bear in kids' play area," notes Dr. Bahr. "When you rub up against its bottom, it growls. Kids love it. The other day, a little boy was having so much fun he began to cry when it was time to leave. We have a lot of families coming in, so it's important to have a place where children can have fun while they are waiting to get their eye exams."
With close to 2,000 square feet of space to work with, North Woods Optics had ample room to incorporate not only fauna, but also flora and other nature elements. The rustic, woodsy feel is enhanced with trees inside. (Of course, the trees aren't real—thankfully, no cumbersome cleanup of fallen leaves come autumn.) River rock and log cabin siding complete the look in the dispensary and the frame displays are worked into the design. "We have picture bay windows that are just the right height for our displays," explains Dr. Bahr. "The frames we put on display fit right in with the theme. The displays are also filled with rock and lined with log cabin siding."
Even the frame selection offered at North Woods seems to coordinate with the log elements. "We have a lot of Chrome Hearts frames here," says office manager Howard Malmstedt. "Many of them have wood temples and fit into this atmosphere perfectly." Other frames that are big sellers include Kieselstein-Cord, Oakley and Rudy Project. "Over half of our sunwear is polarized," he adds.
The changes at North Woods Optics have been for the best. "We have gotten only positive feedback," says Dr. Bahr. "When I first came up with the idea to redesign the practice the way we did, a lot of people said to me, 'Are you really sure you want to do that?' But it worked out for the best. We have been here for 20 years and business has never been better."

Dallas Cowboys
Tony Romo is working with his sixth center -- Travis Frederick -- since he became the starting quarterback, but so far in camp the QB-center exchange has not been an issue, writes ESPNDallas.com's Todd Archer.
Day 4 of Cowboys training camp brought the most competitive part of a practice with two-minute and final-minute situations, writes Archer.
Cornerback Morris Claiborne dislocated his left pinkie during one-on-one drills, writes ESPNDallas.com's Calvin Watkins in an injury report following Wednesday's practice. Here's Watkins' Day 4 practice report.
Hamstring pulls are the most common injury at Cowboys training camp, writes Rainer Sabin of the Dallas Morning News.
New York Giants
The Giants come in at No. 12 on Frank Schwab's preseason power rankings.
When scouts watch Justin Tuck, they see "a player with diminishing skills, slower speed and a body that's just been too beat up over eight NFL seasons," writes Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, and given what's at stake for the Giants and Tuck this season, they desperately need those scouts to be wrong.
Five players who enter training camp on the hot seat from Sam Spiegelman of Big Blue View.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles will honor former quarterback Donovan McNabb at halftime of their Sept. 19 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. When asked by the Daily News' Paul Domowitch if he was concerned he might be booed by Philly fans, McNabb said, "I truly wouldn't care. To me, it's an appreciation for the people who truly respected what I did. I've always lived by the motto that you can't please everyone. So, for me, if I get booed, it wouldn't be anything new. If they cheer, that would be great. Obviously I'll be out there with my family and the teammates I played with. If there are any boos, I will smile."
Les Bowen of the Daily News has a practice report from the NovaCare Complex where the Eagles used the third day of camp as a teaching day.
The Eagles claimed former Arizona Cardinals running back William Powell on waivers. To make room on the roster, they released wide receiver Nick Miller.
Washington Redskins
The Redskins won't play Robert Griffin III during the preseason, and the quarterback is just fine with that, writes Mark Maske of the Washington Post. "I feel like I can play," Griffin said. "I think Coach [Mike Shanahan] feels like I can play without any preseason. So there's no need really for that."
"We want to be a top-five, top-ten defense," nose tackle Barry Cofield said in a Q&A following Wednesday's training camp conditioning test. "We're not in the business of making excuses. It's like we've got some new toys with the guys that we've brought back from injury. A guy like [Brian] Orakpo, a [Brandon] Meriweather, guys like that, that we expected to really help us last year who are just hungry and starving to get out on the field and help us this year, so it's extremely exciting and we expect to improve in every aspect."
The Redskins were never serious contenders to sign free agent offensive tackle Eric Winston, who signed with the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday, writes Maske.

High School Diplomas Called "A Ticket To Nowhere"
December 10, 1999
Many high school graduates are finding themselves unprepared for either college or work because they lack essential math and reading skills, according to the research group Education Trust.
Its director, Kati Haycock, says that many American youngsters "are totally undone by the gaps between high school and college" and that many schools "really don't expect students to learn the things that both higher education and business say they need."
Many graduates could find their diplomas to be "little more than a ticket to nowhere," says Janis Somerville, director of the National Association of System Heads, which represents leaders of the nation's state university systems.
- A report by the Education Trust says that in 1997 one-third of college students had to take remedial courses in reading, writing or math -- essentially reviewing what they were supposed to have learned in high school.
- Only half of school districts nationwide require students to study math beyond basic algebra and geometry -- and only 19 states require students to pass a test before receiving a high school diploma or other credential.
- Many colleges insist that high school graduates have at least three years of science, including two in a laboratory science.
- But most states don't require even a single lab course, according to Education Trust.
Most high school English courses don't address functional or document reading. That means students focus on academics or literature rather than, say, reading tax forms and technical instructions that could be useful for a worker.

"Notes on Undoing": Croatian Identity at Garis and Hahn
Artsy Editorial
The collage is a study for Damir Ocko's 2017 film, "Dicta". The word, referring to a set of statements usually found in a legal language, has a particularly "authoritarian" value – a trait that attracted the artist, who, by recently researching expressionism and fascism in the 1930s, investigated the need to liberate the arts in the times when the state was becoming more and more oppressive. The faces, composed of layers of makeup on paper and foil and accompanied by free poetry and statements randomly assembled from the writings of Bertold Brecht, represent Damir Ocko's step towards a liberation of his own language and form.
Signature: The work comes with a certificate of authenticity signed and dated by the artist.
Kasia Michalski Gallery
Through his music, film, poetry, and two-dimensional objects, Damir Očko investigates language as expressed in sound and voice and its resonance in visual images. A participant in the 2015 Venice Biennale, Očko is inspired by the likes of John Cage and Edgar Varèse. His work drives toward a primal sound that has both poetic and political ramifications. "What I try to do is to better understand the ways of listening and looking, and how this intensity emerges...a cinematic intensity, when image and sound are working as a dense harmony," the artist has said.
Croatian, b. 1977, Zagreb, Croatia, based in Zagreb, Croatia

Nocturne Build
Ability Sequence
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.
Hey there, thanks for taking your time to check out this guide. After reading a lot of poor quality Nocturne guides and builds I decided to create an account with the sole purpose of sharing my way of the nightmare with you lot.
I decided to update the build simply because my way of playing nocturne had changed slightly, my prioritise had changed and I actually started to jungle too. I'd still like to start off with a disclaimer: This is a guide more than just a build. If you're not a fan of text and looking for a TL;DR version, this is not for you.
The guide consists of two builds. One for laning and one for jungling. Rune choice, masteries, skill sequence and other explanations can be found below.
The cheat sheet should only be used as a guide. Both builds require a steady income (kills/farming is required) therefore you might not be able to follow the cheat sheet 100% if you're having a bad game or if you're solo queueing and ending up with proper R-tards (we've all tried that...)
Summoner Spells
Aight, lets begin with the summoner spells. As you can see I've included Ghost in both builds for the sole reason of Nocturne not having ANY WAY OF SLOWING DOWN HIS OPPONENTS. A well timed flash, stun etc. can counter almost any gank, thus being able to chase down your enemies is crucial imo.
Also, most of my choices are based upon normal modes (Blind Pick). While playing ranked (Draft Mode) you can counter most of heroes by picking different summoner spells. The cheat sheet displays the ones I use most commonly.
For laning I prefer Exhaust again for slowing purposes, but also if you're facing some hardcore harassers, you don't want to end up being killed when you try to kill them. Exhaust works both offensive and defensive. Slow combined with Cripple is great for first blooding and the dmg reduction is sick if they're trying to first blood you.
For jungling I pick Smite. This should go without too much explaining. Nocturne is a great jungler, but he's no Warwick... You don't clear the woods in 3,5-4 minutes nor do you run out with above 50% health, therefore Smite is greatly needed.
Other handy summoner spells could be:
Teleport -- I love this spell on assassins. Wards placed around the map is worth gold when the tough, mana starving Jarvan IV runs out to get a golem buff. Simply teleport to your ward and devastate him. The problem with teleport is, if you can't beat someone 1v1 or you're not 100% sure Sion isn't hiding in the bush behind Jarvan IV.. You could end up dying and not use this spell at all - bit waste of a summoner spell, eh? Tower rescuing is always awesome, but yeah.. It's not really your job as an assassin, obviously everyone should help out defending towers, but if the choice is between killing Annie and saving Top lane's outer turret... Annie's your target.
Ignite -- I love ignite because it can counter self healing and finish off people running with those 5 hp into their turret. If I was playing ranked and I could see the team had heavy selfhealing ( Dr. Mundo, Olaf, Master Yi, etc.) I'd probably go Exhaust/Ignite to counter their dmg/self healing and to destroy them in a gank.
Flash -- I like flash a lot, because of the offensive and defensive uses (if you havnt figured already, I'm fond of stuff that work both ways.) Flash is an insanely good summoner spell. I however, would not pick Flash unless I was playing ranked (again with the ranked, lol). If I can tell escape artist would be awesome, I'd pick Flash instead of Ghost.
Cleanse -- Cleanse is awesome for ranked games. You can actually end up in normal modes vs. NO CC AT ALL. Thus I avoid cleanse most of the time (a well timed Shroud of Darkness can counter most stuff, but we'll get to that later.)
Summoner spells TO AVOID:
Clairvoyance: Leave that for supporters, you need your summoner spells to gank, not to scout.
Clarity: Nocturne does, like most AD heroes with mana end up starving. Don't fear tho, golem buff will do just the thing for you, and he's easily soloable.
Fortify: Again with the defending towers.. Leave that for tanks/supports.
Heal: Not worth it.
Rally: Rally is good if you're against a really, really heavy team which you can't tell unless you play ranked, thus it's not a summoner spell of your choice.
Revive: No. Just no.
Shouldn't need to explain these any further really...
I'll just explain the runes for both builds very shortly.
Laning: These runes allows you to deal a great amount of damage in low level + help your regen slightly. Nocturne does starve on mana, but Clarity runes combined with an occasianl golem buff should should make sure you don't go OOM too fast. You can't avoid running OOM, but stacking mana regen any further will gimp your dmg and result in a worse performance than if u had been OOM (yes I did the testing....).
Jungling: For jungling I normally go with the set displayed in the cheat sheet. The additional armor is to make the jungling experience more smooth + it also (combined with the magic resistance) makes you a nasty ganker. You don't want to be easy to kill once you show up outside the jungle... Nocturne has a low base armor/resistnace and health pool, thus sometimes I even go with HP Quintessences just to make him anything but squishy while jungling (also very viable if your team is not scouting for you, flat HP Quintessences can ave your *** from a level 1 gank).
Items for LANING
Before the update the cheat sheet displayed what I found to be core items for Nocturne, but seeing as I've changed the setup a bit, I will use this section to explain every pick + some other picks I've found very handy. This section will be divided in a laning section and a jungling section, thus it's gonna be A LOT of text... (you can always skip to the items you're wondering about..)
The optimal setup itemwise would consist of 4 items to increase your DMG, 1 to boost your movement speed and 1 to increase your survivability.
Anyways, let's start off with
So... What should I buy first?
At first the choice is between Doran's Blade and Doran's Shield depending on the enemy setup, if they have strong low level harassment. You'll still deal great dmg at level 1-3 without any additional +dmg items (because of the ArP runes) therefore the shield is often more handy because it increases your chance of surviving a lot. Armor, health and regen is actually quite handy.
I was once allowed to go mid with Nocturne (let me just say it was an awesome game.. lol), but if you're allowed to go mid (don't count on it.. really..) buy a pair of Boots of Speed and 3x Health Potion.
What about movement?
Anything goes really, and it's all about (yes, you've guessed it) the enemy setup. No guide can provide you with THE boots of choice, but merely display you the options, thus this part is gonna be exactly the same in the jungle version. You have 3 choices to pick from really:
Berserker's Greaves, Boots of Mobility and Mercury's Treads. If they have very little/no CC and you're comfident with how your AS, go for Mobility. If they've little/no CC and you don't think you'll hit fast enough (keep in mind Shroud of Darkness provides an additional 40% AS at level 18) go for Berserker and ofc.. If the enemy team is full of silence, CC, etc. you go for Mercury. :)
What about my damage?!
The items listed in the cheat sheet is what I consider to be quite good for Nocturne. There's plenty of damage, lifesteal and attack speed... If you're not satisfied here's some items you could go for:
Last Whisper -- yeah, I'm in love with ArP. This item will make squishies slightly squisher and will most likely result in some more kills. Last Whisper doesn't make you a tank-killer however, that's what Madred is for. Now, in all honesty, I'd never suggest you go for the tank in a team fight. But once the carry is dead and Shen is standing there looking annoying, Madred is gonna help you take him down.
Phantom Dancer -- AS and Crit are both very nice. I wouldn't take this over dmg unless I was dissatisfied with my AS. Following the items in the cheat sheet, you're gonna hit fast.. and you're gonna hit hard. So unless you wanna hit faster... (keep in mind there's a cap on 2.5 attacks per second).
Wriggle's Lantern -- the ward + teleport is always fun to play around with, but this is really an early/mid game item. The armor, lifesteal and DMG is minor at level 18.
Sword of the Occult -- a sexy, yet risky item. Yes, 100 dmg and 15% movement speed is ace, but this really requires you're not going to die. And in all honesty, even how defensive you play/build you can always end up being WTF raped. I don't normally go for the Sword unless I'm playing premade.
Manamune -- You can actually stack this up pretty nicely, but with Clarity runes and an occasional golem buff, you shouldn't be in severe mana problems.
What do I build to ensure my survival?
In the cheat sheet for laning, I use Frozen Mallet as a survivability item. The 700 health is really decent, and should not be underestimated. However, depending on the enemy team setup (yeah I know, I've said that before) you can build some different items to ensure you're not getting Annie raped - we're talking tank items here...
Vs. heavy melee you can't stack HP because you might end up forcing them to buy Madred's, thus a Thornmail/ Sunfire Cape is pretty decent and can help you take down those attacking you. Force of Nature or Warmog's Armor vs. 5 AP carry can save the day for sure.
Does this mean Nocturne can tank?
Items for JUNGLING
As you may have noticed, the item build/priority is very different from the laning part. This is basically to show you the items I like to play around with, they're equally good to use whther you start in the jungle or in a lane and will all result in you being disgustingly awesome and will cause your enemies to yell out "/all OMG OP nocturne noob no skill hero".
Following the cheat sheet you'll hit harder, be squishier but destroy a target before his friends can react and come to his aid. This is imo the idea of Nocturne, which is also the reason I've grown very fond of jungling.
Other times of movement, survival and DMG items can be found in the Items for LANING section, because there's no reason to type the same thing over and over again (even tho I really like to).
Oh the masteries....... They should be pretty forward to understand however there's a few remarks I may need to add..
Most Nocturne builds out there put 1/3 points in
Archmage's Savvy
instead of Cripple. I don't see the point in boosting your AP by 0.2. This does not make a difference damage-wise on Unspeakable Horror, but reducing your Exhaust target's armor and magic resistance by 10 increases you and your team mates damage on the target.
Same goes for my points in utility. Was I to use Teleport I'd spec into
Spatial Accuracy
and was I to use Ghost I'd spec into
- this should be quite obvious, I prefer
Good Hands
instead of regen because SHOULD I end up dying, I wanna come back to slaughter Annie and pay my revenge as soon as poossible ;)
As I've mentioned earlier, Noctourne mana starves, I tend to pay the golem a visit to get his buff, or kill anyone who has it. With the buff, you can't run oom.. It's literally impossible (well, probably not, but I never tried it, lol). This is also the reason why I spec into Utility and not Defense is because I want
Utility Mastery
Why 2/2 Utility Matery instead of
Nocturne needs the golem buffs for aslong as possible to rape as much as possible.
is surprisingly weak compared to 15% longer duration on the buffs.. But that's just my opinion. I've tried out both ways and ended up doing more dmg with Utility Mastery than with Havoc.. But yeah, give it a shot. This is just a guide no need to follow it strictly.
Skill Sequence
Now the spec. This is going to be really brief and I'd gladly answer questions you have concerning the build. I spec the same regardless of laning/jungling so here goes...
On the cheat sheet my prio was obviously Duskbringer. That is because I find it to be a great harass when laning and it can most definately help you finish people hugging their tower. Also, having Duskbringer at level 1 can EASILY get you first blood before minions spawn. Standing ready to bush-gank is one thing Nocturne is very good at. It is also a very nice DMG boost in the jungle
Unspeakable Horror over Shroud of Darkness because while AS is good, a CC is godlike below level 18 and the longer you fear someone - the better. No need to worry about Karthus ulti and whatnot, 1 point in Shroud of Darkness still saves the day! :)
Jungle Strategy
In this section I will explain my jungle route as the title states.. ^^
1) Golem buff: Starting off at the Golem to steal his buff is the way to go. With the mana regen you can use your spells to clear the jungle. Use Smite in the beginning. Having someone to scout for you is always nice and if someone should be kind enough to pull it for you too you might not even have to pop a potion. Health Potion + Nocturne's Passive is what's keep you alive in the jungle.
2) Wolves.
3) Wraiths.
4) Depending on luck, crits and when you popped Smite, it should be off cooldown and you can take the Lizard buff. Fearing the Lizard with Unspeakable Horror and spamming Duskbringer should ensure a kill. If you're getting too low. Give up, don't die in woods as going b to regen is a hell of a lot faster than waiting to spawn in well.
5) Twin golems (yes, I like to call them that)..
6) Head b to rest and then out to gank.
You should be level 4 by now and with Golem/Lizard buff you're ready to shread fear across the map. Helping out the guy solo laning is always a good idea unless he's doing fantastic on his own. I always try to get a kill in mid (don't sit around in a brush for hours.. you'll lose far too much xp then) because that way my mid-laner will get an exp. advantage we can use later on - same goes for the guys duo-laning, but I prefer helping out the bloke in mid first unless they're having problems. Getting a kill in mid is hard tho, you have to make sure he hasn't warded the area around mid and he has to be agressive for you to get up behind him blocking the way to his turret. If it's too much of an issue, skip him till you have ulti, no need to lower your xp.
7) Can you not get a gank going, continue killing creeps in woods - if the enemy team doesn't have a jungler you can take their buffs too (leave 1 of the smaller adds alive to piss the hell out of them when they run in to get a mana buff - this will prevent the golem/lizard from spawning).
If they have a jungler: Nocturne is not really an anti jungler like Warwick... However, he can deal a great amount of dmg at low lvl. If the enemy's Warwick is jungling, try get a cheap kill when he's soloing the drake (normally around level 3-5). Otherwise try not to engange in a 1v1 vs. warwick, it's too stupid.
Golem buff while laning:
Once you hit level 4, you should have enough health to take down the golem. Having the blue buff will ensure a lot more harassment + greater chance of killing your enemies. It's not a waste to pay the golem a visit, just make sure your laning partner can take care of his lane on his own.
Now, to end this I will share some of the tricks I've learned so far.
Noctourne's abilities have a really good purpose both defensive but also offensive:
Duskbringer is good to finish off someone running, but it's also great to give you a headstart away from being ganked (before you leave combat and your Boots of Mobility kick in)).
I normally open up with Shroud of Darkness (this is also explained in the ingame tips, and it works 9/10 times). People tend to get surprised when you're come out of nowhere and trying to bash their heads in, they tend to cast some sort of disable. With SoD up, you'll arbsorb it and get a mad AS bonus. Also, seeing as Nocturne is rather new, if you're facing another Nocturne save your SoD for when he casts Unspeakable Horror on you. The disable will be absorbed and you can disable him and run or nuke him down - whatever's easiest.
Hiding in a bush with a team mate and being ready to cast Unspeakable Horror on Annie as she approaches is a good starter as well. She'll most likely react too late and be disabled, thus giving you loads of time to take her down. Unspeakable Horror can also be used to lock someone tower diving, thus the tower will help you take them down and it can be used to disable someone fed and run off like a little girl ;x
I'm a big fan of Paranoia. It's a great finisher if someone tries to run (altho, it's not smart to tower dive with it - again, you can't tank towers). But it's also great to help your team mates run away from a gank, limiting your enemies vision is a mad disable and can make sure your Sona gets out alive. I normally use Paranoia as a finisher (or frag-ulti like my friends say.. lol) you can also use it supportive for your team. You might be out of range to get the Dash off, but popping Paranoia can help your team mates get a kill on someone farming.
Now, this is obviously my first guide. So be kind, ok? ;) I'd love some feedback, be it negative or positive.

WELLINGTON Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick has linked his bench ban to the Michael McGlinchey transfer saga.
FFA issued a technical area ban to the experienced boss before Phoenix's 1-0 FFA Cup loss to Adelaide United on Tuesday night.
Merrick was forced to watch Phoenix's FFA Cup debut from the Marden Sports Complex stands.
FFA officials declared Merrick had not signed the Code of Conduct — which is mandatory for all coaches before taking a seat on the bench - before ordering a touchline ban.
"There's a little bit more to it than that, it's (the ban) pretty pedantic for an FFA Cup game,'' Merrick said.
"But I did enjoy the game from where I was, I'll do it more often, I think the players were happy I was in the stands.
"(But I was) absolutely disappointed by it.
"But there's a few things I'm concerned about regarding grievances policies and you just have to look what's happening with Michael McGlinchey and you can see my point.
"We just have to see what happens."
McGlinchey — a former Central Coast midfielder — has been caught in a transfer battle between Mariners and Wellington after ending his loan stint with Japanese club Vegalta Sendai in June.
McGlinchey has been training with Phoenix but the Mariners believe he is still contracted to the Gosford-based club.
The case was set for arbitration after McGlinchey — backed by the players union, Professional Footballers Australia — believed he was a free agent and able to sign for the Phoenix.
"As I said there hearing was on Monday and they'll (FFA) let us know in a couple of years,'' Merrick said with tongue-in-cheek.
"It's been going on for months, it's just ... the whole process I just don't see why they've left the boy in limbo for so long.
"One way or the other just let us know.
"He missed out on playing two EPL sides as well (Wellington faced West Ham and Newcastle United in New Zealand last month)."
Merrick also declared the timing of the cup fixture during the week where the Foxtel A-League All Stars pre game camp robbed a number of players from FFA Cup duty before facing Juventus in Sydney on Sunday was a major concern.
"I think the concept of the FFA Cup is great I'm a big fan of it but I don't know if it was thought through regarding the timing,'' Merrick said.
"I think the coach of the All Stars has more time with the players than what the national coaches have, you see the players for 10 days, it's a huge (All Stars) camp."

Best care for everyone
Safeguarding means protecting peoples' health, wellbeing and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. It is a key part of providing high-quality health care to the population we serve.
It is recognised, both nationally and within Gloucestershire, that the incidence of adult abuse is higher than that of child abuse. Adults with learning disabilities, older people and adults who are isolated are at significant risk.
Our Safeguarding Adults team ensures we provide high-quality care to prevent safeguarding concerns and provides an effective response where harm or abuse does occur. Some adults are more vulnerable to abuse, so we work with other agencies such as social services and the Police to promote patient safety and provide advice and support. Find out more about Safeguarding Adults in Gloucestershire
We also have a duty of care to safeguard the welfare of children and young people while they are at our hospitals. We do this by providing our staff with child protection awareness training and ensuring that we can identify, protect and care for those at risk .More about Safeguarding Children in Gloucestershire
Did you know that Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue offer FREE fire safety checks in the home? Find out more about the services they offer on their website and more information here

Gear alert: Weed removal at night
- June 12, 2012 - 10:18 PM
Weed removal from boat trailers at night can be difficult. Required by invasive species laws, the procedure nonetheless challenges. Carry a good flashlight. Employ also a telescoping tool for under the boat. Old fish-net handles can work. Also rig a golf ball retriever -- not too pricey, and many reach to 15 feet.

When every commit requires fervent prayer, it might be time for a rewrite.
This is how we decided to overhaul our SaaS app. When I say redesign, most folks think I'm talking about look and feel. The redesign of Ballpark is about much more than layout updates and color choices, though. We want everything about Ballpark to be better, not just different, and that includes the code base it's built on.
I'm sure a few of you read the title and thought, "Um, it's never time to do that because that sounds horrible and scary and expensive." In a way, you're right. It can be horrible and scary and it is definitely expensive, but sometimes it's the best way forward. Here's how we came to the conclusion that it was time for us to do things differently.
Big Issues
Like all product companies, we want to be able to bring features to our users quickly, efficiently, and confidently. This honestly was our primary motive behind the decision to re-evaluate the code. We bought the product, so naturally, we inherited a codebase that we didn't write.
Slow As Molasses in January
Inheriting code isn't a huge deal, but imagine it this way: you're in college, and you miss a month's worth of classes (your teacher doesn't take roll or something, so you aren't going to automatically fail – chill out). But there's a huge exam coming up and you need to know everything the class covered while you weren't there. You ask to borrow a classmate's notes, but he's a really big hipster and only writes things on parchment paper with a feather-tipped pen. In cursive.
You both speak the same language, and you both can read, so this should be fine, right?
Yeah, but even being comfortable with another's handwriting, versus your own, will slow you down a little. And it's going to slow you down a little every time you look at his notes.
Like, in perpetuity.
All those little slow-downs add up. In our case, these cumulative code slow-downs were part of the reason for the re-write.
Testing The Waters
Another big problem was the lack of testing built into the code. If you haven't worked with an application before, tests are ways of knowing if you broke something when you make a change to the code. A good test suite will automatically run when a commit happens, then tell you if you broke something, and where you broke it. Not having tests contributed to an incredibly high ramp-up time for developers and a low level of confidence in pushing new features.
As I've mentioned before, we're a small team and we often have to bring in extra developers to help out. If we want to set them up for success (and in return, save ourselves some money), they need to be able to dive right in and start contributing in a week, or less. We don't need a bunch of folks all up in the code like:
This is how we do it
Once we started entertaining the idea of a rewrite, we took a look at the scope of the project. We determined that the back-end was super solid, but the front-end is really where most of our problem areas lived. Specifically, it was a mixed bag of Javascript that was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
It's important to clarify that, for us, deciding to redo the front-end did not mean refactor. We wanted to end up with a high level of comfort at the end, so that meant our developers wanted to touch everything. Since the new design is a pretty big departure from what we've got now, we chose to completely scrap the existing JavaScript and the stylesheets.
We also enlisted some Rails pros to help us implement those tests I talked about earlier. We've already got a much better process for scaling our development firepower, but that's still a work in progress.
Going forward, we're going to have a method to the madness, and a much higher level of confidence in the code we write.
Timeline and cost
This rewrite has not been easy. It has not been fast (read: 'spensive). We think it's worth it. But the most important part of deciding to do a code rewrite is having long-term commitment from the folks that matter. Your stakeholders have to be convinced of the importance and the future value of this Herculean task, and then you need to be prepared to justify yourself along the way.
We're super excited about the foundation we're laying for making our product better – and the ability to make it better, faster – so that we can deliver a delightful experience for all of our users.
I didn't want to get too far in the weeds with all the decisions we've made with our codebase so far, but if you want to talk details you can reach me at email@example.com, or tweet us at @ballparkapp.

I am not satisfied!
Not sure why the price of the book is so high because this is like a marketing campaign! The audio quality and the contents both are below par.
May be I am going to try another vocabulary book.
Not sure.
I don't think so. They were just reading some words from some dictionary and then doing marketing campaign for some public speakers.

Vocabulary in pdf not in same order as audio
Like Most: The voice of the reader is very professional. I like it to have a quiz version.
Like Least: I can't believe the vocabulary in accompanying pdf file is not in the same order as the audio. For the first time, I'll need to view the words that I don't know. The words in the pdf is grouped in categories and alphabetical order, which is different from audio. That's really NOT helpful!

A Lake County man remained hospitalized Thursday after being shot in the leg by one of several men who burst into his parents' Clearlake Oaks home a day earlier.
A second shooting occurred when the Clearlake police chief and a lieutenant were targeted as they pursued the suspects, including a man formerly employed by the victims. Neither officer was hit by the gunfire, which culminated with the arrests of four people on suspicion of conspiracy, attempted murder, assault on a peace officer and other charges.
For Jacob Bogner, 32, the resulting leg fracture and a battered skull from a pistol whipping were both painful and depressing, though it took him a while to notice, he said Thursday from his hospital bed at Enloe Medical Center in Chico.
Bogner said his overwhelming concern Wednesday morning, when he realized strangers were inside the house, was the safety of his mother and his young niece and nephew — and his sense that the robbers didn't have much of a working plan.
Their apparent inexperience and his own inexplicable lack of fear made it possible, he said, to play a bit of cat and mouse that distracted one or two of the robbers. He said he could tell that his mom, Janeane Bogner, had slipped away from the men after she initially answered the door, and he hoped to divert them from finding her or the two kids, aged 5 and 7, who were visiting while their mother worked.
As the only man home, Jacob Bogner said, "I took the heat to save them, basically."
The ordeal began around 8:40 a.m. when Janeane Bogner opened the front door of the High Valley Road home to find several men on her doorstop, one in a hoodie asking for "Lonnie." Her husband's name is Ronnie.
She yanked back the stranger's hood before slamming the door and attempting to lock it, but the men kicked it in with a large crash. Her cry for help drew her son into the dining room, he said.
He immediately encountered a man pointing a .40-caliber gun at him. Bogner was temporarily in a daze, he said, and ended up back in the bedroom with the man, who told him, "this is your day to die," and ordered him to get face down on the floor.
Jacob Bogner only kneeled, contemplating his next move as the man left him there. He heard conversation in the living room that made it clear the men didn't know where his mother was, let alone the kids, he said.
So Bogner left the room again hoping to make sure. When his assailant saw him, Bogner ran back into his room, shut and locked the door.
He immediately heard someone kick it. Then a gunshot came through the wood and entered his leg, near his knee, and the man again kicked the door hard, twice, cracking it open.
"All of a sudden, he's standing there," Bogner said, unsure if the intruder knew he'd been hit.
Bogner found himself back on the floor where the man struck him multiple times in the head with his gun.
At one point, another man came in and looked through the property in Bogner's room. At another point, Bogner tried dialing 911 on his cell phone, but the call didn't go through. The men asked for car keys, money and guns, and finally departed, some of them reportedly driving away in the senior Bogners' Cadillac Escalade.

Construction Products Association Gets New Chairman
The Construction Products Association (CPA) has named Carl Arntzen as its new Chairman. Carl stepped into the role on 11 April, following the CPA's 2017 annual general meeting.
He succeeds John Sinfield, who stepped down from the position after three years as Chairman.
Carl's latest role was as CEO for Bosch Thermotechnology Ltd, a company he joined in 1984 as a Product Development Engineer. After working in Product Development for several years he moved into more commercial-orientated roles in Product Management and Marketing Management, becoming Managing Director in 2011 and CEO in 2015.
Dr Diana Montgomery, Chief Executive of the Construction Products Association, said: "The CPA is delighted to welcome Carl on board. His extensive track record, together with his understanding of the industry, will play a tremendous role as we begin to navigate a post-EU landscape. We wish him every success in his new role with us."
Carl Arntzen added: "I am delighted to join the CPA as Chairman, and look forward to contributing to its growth and being an advocate for what is such an important UK industry.
"We will continue to work with government to ensure the construction sector remains competitive and relevant for industry colleagues; it's going to be a challenging but exciting process."

In September 2009, the Obama administration's Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act went into effect, requiring hospitals and other health care organization to beef up client data protections. Despite this, a recent study found that health care data is still hemorrhaging from peer to peer networks.
A peer-to-peer, commonly abbreviated to P2P, is any distributed network architecture composed of participants that make a portion of their resources (such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth) directly available to other network participants, without the need for central coordination instances (such as servers or stable hosts).
In simple terms, P2P is software installed on your PC and others PCs that allows the sharing of data from each others computers.
Computerworld reports, "One of the more than 3,000 files discovered by the researchers was a spreadsheet containing insurance details, personally identifying information, physician names and diagnosis codes on more than 28,000 individuals. Another document contained similar data on more than 7,000 individuals. Many of the documents contained sensitive patient communications, treatment data, medical diagnoses and psychiatric evaluations. At least five files contained enough information to be classified as a major breach under current health-care breach notification rules."
In my own research, digging through P2P networks, I've uncovered tax returns, student loan applications, credit reports and Social Security numbers. I've found family rosters which include usernames, passwords and Social Security numbers for entire families. I've found Christmas lists, love letters, private photos, videos, and just about anything else that can be saved as a digital file.
It's no surprise data is still leaking. File sharing technologies are easier and more user friendly than ever. Faster broadband connections coupled with faster PCs and bigger hard drives make downloading files a snap. Insurance companies, doctor's offices and hospitals all have computers and those computers are operated by people who like things that are free. Any bored employee who wants to listen to that song he heard on the way to work can simply download Limewire, eDonkey, BearShare, or any other P2P network. Within minutes, that song is on playing on the employee's iPod, and his employer's clients' data is being shared with the world. This type of breech resulted in blueprints for President Obama's private helicopter being leaked online.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has asked the Department of Justice and the FTC to help prevent illegal use of peer to peer networks, and in the same letter, asked what the government is doing to protect its citizens. But ultimately, it's up to you to protect yourself.
Don't install P2P software on your computer. If you aren't sure whether a family member or employee may have installed P2P software, check for new, unfamiliar applications. A look at your "All Programs Menu" will show nearly every program on your computer. If you see one you don't recognize, do an online search to see what it is you've found. You should also set administrative privileges to prevent the installation of new software without your knowledge.
If you must use P2P software, be sure that you don't share your hard drive's data. When you install and configure the software, don't let the P2P program select data for you.
The Smartcard Alliance has released an in-depth report called "Medical Identity Theft in Healthcare."

The explosive first-hand account of America's secret history in Afghanistan
With the publication of Ghost Wars, Steve Coll became not only a Pulitzer Prize winner, but also the expert on the rise of the Taliban, the emergence of Bin Laden, and the secret efforts by CIA officers and their agents to capture or kill Bin Laden in Afghanistan after 1998.
Coll, the managing editor of The Washington Post, has given us what is certainly the finest historical narrative so far on the origins of Al Qaeda in the post-Soviet rubble of Afghanistan. He has followed up that feat by threading together the complex roles played by diplomats and spies from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the United States into a coherent story explaining how Afghanistan became such a welcoming haven for Al Qaeda. James Risen
