Walking Purchase marker now silent
AL ZAGOFSKY/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS Three miles northeast of Jim Thorpe, at the summit of Rt. 903, a frame on a blue post is what remains of a Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission marker that told the story of the Walking Purchase in which native Lenape Indians were defrauded of their hunting lands by the sons of William Penn.
About three miles northeast of Jim Thorpe, at the summit of Rt. 903, a blue post stands along the roadway holding up nothing buy empty air.
The now-empty Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission marker once held a sign describing how much of northeastern Pennsylvania was acquired.
The marker had read, "In the early afternoon of Sept. 20, Edward Marshall, with an official timer, ended the 'Indian Walk' having covered some 65 miles in 18 hours travel. His stopping place is supposed to have been in this general area."
Here, Marshall threw himself full length upon the ground and grasped a spruce sapling. This became the reference for an area bounded by Wrightstown, just west of New Hope, to Jim Thorpe to Lackawaxen and south along the Delaware River to New Hope, called the Walking Purchase of 1737, a theft of 750,000 acres of the Lenape's prime hunting lands by the sons of William Penn.
According to Howard Pollman of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, there are more than 2,300 historical markers in Pennsylvania.
"Since 1946, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has administered a program of historical markers to capture the memory of people, places, and events that have affected the lives of Pennsylvanians."
A short description of each historic site is set in cast aluminum. Markers tell the stories of Native Americans and settlers, government and politics, athletes, entertainers, artists, struggles for freedom and equality, factories and businesses.
The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has a contract crew for marker maintenance and sets about repairing or replacing markers when the commission is advised of their damage or loss. If you are aware of a damaged or lost marker, contact: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Each year new markers are approved and installed. Traditionally, limited matching grants have been available for the manufacture of markers; however, with the passage of the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Pennsylvania Commonwealth budget, the PHMC received a substantial reduction in their grant allocation. The program no longer provides matching grants. Nominators will cover the costs of their marker's fabrication.
Nominations for historical markers may be submitted by any person or organization. Nominations postmarked by December 1 are evaluated by a panel of independent experts from across the state and reviewed by PHMC commissioners the following spring.
The Walking Purchase of 1737 was neither a purchase nor involved walking. It was a fraud by Penn's sons to take virtually all the hunting lands away from the native Lenape tribe.
William Penn dealt fairly with the Lenape, purchasing their land rather than seizing it by force of arms. Penn's sons inherited the colony along with their father's debts. Penn's sons began to aggressively sell land, often land that belonged to the Lenape. In 1737, they connived with the Iroquois Confederacy to take the Lenape land using a counterfeit document.
The document said that in 1686, Lenape chiefs agreed that William Penn could purchase land in Bucks County as "far as a man can walk in a day and a half." Everyone alleged to have signed the treaty had died.
Thomas and John Penn, who had assumed the proprietorship in the 1730s, hired three athletes, Solomon Jennings, Edward Marshall and James Yates, to make the "walk" in record time. The three trained for months in preparation for this event. To aid them, underbrush was cut away, horses carried supplies, and boats were arranged to ferry them across streams.
At dawn on Sept. 19, 1737, the three "walkers" set out in a run from the Wrightstown Meetinghouse. Two faltered. Only Marshall completed the "walk." He had covered 66.5 miles in 18 hours of travel when he reached the area indicated by the marker on Rt. 903.

Nunu Build Guide by iKuehnDE
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.

Nunu Build
Start Items
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.
iKuehnDE here with a Nunu jungle guide.
Nunu jnugle is always a good choice if you have enough cc in your team, in my last game it was enough cc by Leona and Pantheon, their ults combine really well with Nunu's. I personally pref Nunu vs Ad than vs Ap because my favourite items include more armor than mr.
Kepp one thing in mind: Nunu shouldn't be the damage dealer. He should do a second support (or not), but at least you should NOT try to carry solo. Your W is a great tool to let the ads in your team do more damage in a short time. Your E is a great tool to gank, combine it with the red buff and your W, and the kill is secured.
But lets not longer talk about this, lets start.
-Tanky, but still good damage
-Nice utility for your team
-Combines well with current meta supports and tops
-Good jnule clearing, nice dragon control, good for pushing
-Useless if you can't play it
-Useless if you fall behind
Creeping / Jungling
You can clear really fast.
If you start on blue side, i take the red camp first,
and walk over then to the wraiths. Your smite is up then again when you are at the blue buff.
You should try to get the drake early (minute 10), you can easily solo it when you maxed q.
If the enemy jungler is something like amumu (slow clearing), you can try to counterjungle.
Team Work
Teamwork is really important if you play Nunu in the jungle.
1.Use your W on your adc (or an ad assasin such as zed), so they have improved attack speed.
2.Slow down the Carry in the enemy team with your E.
3.Try to combine ultimates. This works really well with Leona, Lulu, Pantheon, Galio, Amumu, Zyra and also MF if you got one of the others.
You can use your ulti while you are in a brush, so the enemies wont see you. I do this, when I know they do not have vision over it and they will pass. (e.g. the brush opposite the blue buff of purple side when a dragon fight is about to start.

In present times, nearly 85 percent individuals all over the world continue a day-to-day battle with acne and a number of these people get it due to the fact that acne is linked with lots of other issues and illness. Research has actually been conducted regarding why people get acne but previously no cause has been discovered, but many dermatologist agree that acne is triggered due to hormone imbalance.
Lots of people with diabetes likewise suffer from acne and they want to know whether there is a link between diabetes and acne. However, there appears to be no consensus in the clinical world and there is controversy surrounding the link in between diabetes and acne.
If a person experiences acne and the pustules reveal little or no indication of healing, or they tend to reappear over and over once again, many individuals think that it might suggest diabetes. This is because the very first sign of diabetes is poor injury recovery ability of the body. So, if you are over 40 and struggle with acne, there is a high possibility that you have diabetes.
In reality, you might be surprised to hear that Type II diabetes has acne as one of the signs. Typically in this kind of acne, the acne pustules hurt and do not recover easily. Regrettably lots of people struggling with diabetes do not see acne symptoms. They pay more attention to regular thirst and urination. However, if you have all the three signs, it is best to get your blood sugar level inspected.
If you are diagnosed with diabetes, you can be sure that the acne will vanish once your start receiving treatment for diabetes. It is essential that you learn not your scratch or burst the acne or it will aggravate your condition even more.
Even with this, the link in between diabetes advertisement acne is not very clear. Inning accordance with some researchers, the excess insulin in the body causes the male hormone levels to increase and this in turn causes the acne. However, other researchers do not agree with this theory.

COLOMBIA FREE TRADE AGREEMENT -- (House of Representatives - April 15, 2008)
Mr. CARTER. I thank you for yielding to me. My friend from California is gracious to do so.
Let me start off by telling you what happened when I decided I was going to Colombia. My daughter, who lives here in Washington, called me up and said, Daddy, I told you not to go down to Colombia. Didn't you see ``Clear and Present Danger?'' Didn't you see that movie? Have you lost your mind?
I want to point that out because I think that's a lot of what the American people think about Colombia when it comes to their mind, they think of that movie and that book. And I am pleased to say that I was very pleasantly surprised to find a very peaceable place where an awful lot of people have done an awful lot of hard work to get violent people out of their country and to get those people who joined defense bands and guerrilla bands to lay down their weapons.
Mr. CARTER. You know, the first question, they all started talking about how they joined the paramilitary unit. They told about families being slaughtered, being separated from their families, having to run and escape the guerrillas that came out of the woods. And they ran to escape, and then came back to find their families slaughtered, and so they joined a paramilitary group. And a question was asked, rather naively, I think, by us, you mean, you were carrying weapons? Absolutely. Every one of them, male and female, were carrying weapons. And now they are working in programs that are changing the culture of these people that joined the violent behavior. They have laid down their weapons. We asked them why. They said the comandantes said we have talked to the president, we lay down our weapons, and they did.
They are out studying. They're proud to say they're getting high school educations. They're proud to say they're going to trade schools. A few were proud to say they had received admission to university. These were jungle fighters just a short while ago, and now they are coming into society and working very hard because they see a future for Colombia. And this future rests upon a world of free enterprise and trade, and this agreement starts the process that gives them many opportunities for free trade around the world.

Support the Project
The ORATER project is seeking to explore the challenges and opportunities that are facing universities seeking to provide graduates capable of meeting the needs of modern businesses that are engaging in analytics. The project is focused on three specific elements:
1. Identifying the needs of employers. In order to best recommend how universities can develop courses to educate and train potential analytics professionals it is necessary to first understand what exactly businesses are looking for.
2. Identifying what potential students seek from analytics courses. Whilst it is important to consider what businesses require from analytics professionals, another key consideration is what potential students are looking for. This allows courses to be designed that appeal to students and are likely to be filled.
3. Identifying the barriers and considerations than affect universities in developing such courses. Again a critical part of implementing such changes is to fully understand the environmental constraints and perspectives within academia.
(You can read more about the project aims here).
In order to meet these aims we are looking for the expertise and opinions of a variety of the stakeholders discussed above.
This project relies on the contribution of people like you and your expertise and we are very grateful for any help you can give.

Dennis the Menace is the anti-hero of The Beano comic strip of the same name and it's subsequent television programmes.
He is a 10-year-old boy who lives in Beanotown with his parents (simply known as Mum and Dad), his younger sister Bea and his dog Gnasher (and sometimes Gnasher's son Gnipper). He also has two friends named Curly and Pie-Face and lives next door to The Colonel. Dennis loves menacing around and enjoys picking on and playing pranks on Walter and any other "softie" with Gnasher.
Dennis has three television shows based on the comic strip. The first was a puppet show called The Dennis the Menace and Gnasher Show which aired on The Children's Channel for two series from 1990 to 1991. The second was animated and called Dennis the Menace (later Dennis & Gnasher) which aired from 1996 to 1998. The third was once again animated and was once again called Dennis & Gnasher and aired in 2009, but when a second series was made in 2013, the show was renamed Dennis the Menace and Gnasher.
In the 1990-1991 series, Dennis was voiced by Logan Murray, Richard Pearce in the 1996-1998 series and Sophie Aldred (in the first series) and later Chris Johnson (in the second series) in the 2009-2013 series.
Dennis has spiky black hair and his attire consists of a red and black striped jumper, black shorts, red socks and light grey trainers.

During my professional reading this morning, I saw this quote from Todd Whitaker:
I was reminded about our goals at WJHS of providing "meaningful" learning opportunities for students, developing Wildcats (Welcoming, Involved, Leading, Dependable, Cooperative, Ambitious, Teachable, and Serving), and The Wildcat Way.
The name of the curriculum we use may change. The name of the assessments we're required to give may change.
However, our practice of doing what's best for students will remain.
Go Wildcats!

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Toujours pret
Motto Translation: Always ready.

Why Page Rank is a bad idea
Google uses the "Page Rank" algorithm to evaluate the quality of a page. This way when many pages are equally relevant to a search query, it can attempt to put the highest quality pages first in its results by ordering them by Page Rank. Unfortunately this does not work well because the Page Rank is not a good way to evaluate the quality of a page.
Why is Page Rank not a good way to evaluate the quality of a page?
Page Rank looks at how many other pages point to a page, the most pages point to it, the higher quality this page must be according to the Page Rank algorithm. However it is possible that a bad page has many links pointing to it and a good page has few links pointing to it.
It would seem logical that if a page was of good quality more people would have tendency to link to it. However how much weight do the links from "innocent users" have compared to the links of spammers or SEO specialists? Not only this method encourages people to spam the web with links to their page, but also it is not a good way to measure the quality of a page since we know that 1 motivated spammer can easily plaster links to his page all over the web, make deals with other sites to exchange links etc. When we are looking for a webpage, we want the page that will have the best content, not the page that belongs to the one who spams the most, or the one who makes the most deals with others, we don't care about that.
The result is that you can create a very high quality page, containing greatly useful information and no one will ever find it because there are not enough links to it. Google assumes that if your page is so good, more people will link to it, but people cannot link to pages that they dont know exist, so since your page has few links pointing to it, it will not come up in most searches, so not much people will find it and consequently not much people will link to it.
On the other hand if a very bad webpage has a lots of links pointing to it, despite the fact that its content is not very good more people will have tendency to link to it because more people will find it when they search for a variety of things.
It is a bit like the problem that many guys have in high school. Some guys are popular with girls so all the girls are fighting each other to be with them because they are popular. Some other guys dont have a girlfriend and never had one so none of the girls want to go out with them because they are not popular. It is very possible and quite probably the case that many of those popular guys are actually very bad lovers, but girls keep going for them while some of the unpopular guys would be great lovers, but no one knows because no girl wants to go out with them.
So in other words Page Rank encourages web spam and is a poor way of evaluating the quality of a page.
So then what would be a good way to evaluate the quality of a page?
Now we have established that Page Rank is no good but we have not come up with any "better way" of programmatically evaluating the quality of a webpage. While I do not pretend to know the answer to this question I can suggest 2 basic ideas of how to better evaluate the quality of a webpage.
A way to evaluate the quality of a webpage could be more based on the content of the page itself rather than on the number of pages that point to it. The crawler could analyze the content of the page a use a set of rules to evaluate its quality based entirely on its content.
Another way to solve this issue would be to, instead of trying to estimate the quality of a page at all, refine the relevancy calculation in a way that 2 pages would rarely end up being equally relevant, so the whole question of evaluating the quality of a page could be left aside in favor of only ordering the results by relevancy.
That's something to think about...

Think of PageRank as a measure of the authority and quality of a given page. Further, think of each link a page includes to be a vote of confidence in the destination site. The vote is powered by the PageRank of the linking page. A page with high PageRank will pass a large amount of authority to the destination page, while a page with low PageRank will pass little authority. PageRank, of course, is a factor that influences your ranking overall in search; a higher PageRank is a higher search result, all other things being equal.

A good Page Rank doesn`t mean that you will have traffic. You may have good metrics but no people will read your blog or purchase something from your website.
For example, you can find a lot of websites that provide a
writing help
but people don`t buy from their websites. PR matters but it doesn`t play a sufficient role.

After mentioning my medication, I recently told a new friend of mine that I have bipolar. He got this knowing look on his face and nodded, a slight smile appearing on his lips. I might have detected a quick, almost negligible eye roll, but that could have been my own insecurity. Why the little smile? The nod? Was the knowing look because he had a family member or spouse with bipolar? Was it because, like a lot of people, he believes we are overmedicated as a society? Or was it because he thinks we are taught to believe that differences must be labeled therefore most of these disorders are not valid, that everyone gets depressed once in a while and what's wrong with being really happy from time to time? Why should it have to be medicated?
These are all things that well-meaning people have said to me when I revealed my diagnosis, one that I finally received after years of knowing that something was wrong and being misdiagnosed and incorrectly medicated and suffering off and on for decades. And even now that I have had the right diagnosis for two and a half years and am on the correct type of medication, it doesn't make the bipolar go away. I still live with it and try to function, which I do better than I would without the medication.
And I've noticed that there are a lot of misconceptions about bipolar. Probably the biggest one is the first one below. Of course, there may very well be someone with bipolar who is always euphoric when they are manic. Bipolar is a spectrum disorder, meaning that there's a lot of ground between depressed and manic and a lot of variance in how people experience it. [Note: Misconceptions are in italics.]
–Mania is a state of euphoria. Not always. On rare occasions I've been euphoric. I've witnessed a few other people I knew who appeared to be euphoric for a brief time. But some people with bipolar never experience euphoria. Often for them manic means what's called dysphoric mania, which causes extreme agitation, aggression, and angry delusions, which can lead to harming oneself, others, or property, whether accidental or purposeful, with the ensuing arrest and/or hospitalization. This can also happen if someone starts off as being euphoric. Unchecked (unmedicated) mania can lead to acute mania, or psychosis, in which a person can experience hallucinations, both auditory and/or visual. They can be out of touch with reality, delusional, and needing hospitalization. Or the mania might subside on its own, but this is not typical, and often not without damage being done before that point is reached. Being properly medicated can help prevent mania from reaching an acute state.
–A person with bipolar goes between the two extremes of depression and mania. After discussing dysphoric mania, it makes sense to continue on to the topic of the various states of bipolar. First of all, different people experience depression in different ways. Sometimes it's very emotional, with feelings of hopelessness and extreme sadness, as is the stereotype (which is often true). But sometimes depression is very physical. The mental image of a depressed person in bed is not necessarily about them not being able to face the world; it's often because it takes every effort to move, even a little bit. Making dinner for your kids becomes a Herculean task. Your arms feel like they're made out of lead. Your brain feels like solidified honey, and it's incredibly difficult to focus on anything involving mental energy, such as writing. Then there's agitated depression. You're depressed but have a little bit more energy, which is caused by a low-grade mania that is definitely not euphoric. Right – dysphoric again. And severe, unmedicated depression can also lead to psychosis, often including paranoia.
In my opinion, and again, this is just my opinion, based on my own experiences, the worst bipolar state of all is the mixed state. Of people who have bipolar, far more suicides occur in the mixed state than in depression. Some say it's because in the mixed state you're depressed but you have the energy of dysphoric mania to make you do something about it. For me it would be because I wanted to make the pain stop. Not the pain of my life – the physical pain caused by the dysfunctional neurochemicals in my brain. This is something most acutely felt before I was diagnosed and correctly medicated, not because of the medication itself, although many people feel that their medication makes them feel worse, and I completely respect that. Some people get overmedicated, and that's just as bad. When I'm in the mixed state, in which I have spent years of my adult life, there is constant churning in my head. It's painful, and it makes me want to throw my head into a wall to try to make it stop. I feel a rage inside my head that makes me want to yell and scream in anguish. Then there are other days (and even times during the same day) when it's all I can do to keep myself from crying. I drag myself through the day – work, kids, appointments, and household duties. But I just want to curl up in a corner and wail and bang my head. You don't "snap out of it." The best you can try to do is to power through it, to keep functioning. To hold on until you come out of that place where all you do is wish you would die, so the pain would stop.
–People who have bipolar can't be trusted/are sex addicts/take too many risks. Those who know that there are more than two states of bipolar have probably heard of hypomania. It's an elusive state that causes people to get by with less sleep and still feel energetic. They often are highly productive and creative, as well as social and engaging. You're probably thinking, That sounds pretty good to me! And honestly, quite a handful of people with bipolar wish they could always be hypomanic. The problem is that it can be very difficult to maintain a state of hypomania without surging into full-blown mania. And because it is a type of mania, it can cause problems on its own. You feel great, so you feel really attractive, and your self-esteem is a bit inflated. You dress provocatively. Your skin and senses are heightened. All these things can lead to hypersexuality. Judgment can be compromised. You put an entire summer wardrobe on a credit card. Some are seduced by gambling and risky investments. Regret can be a big part of having bipolar.
–All people with bipolar are alike. People with bipolar are individuals who have a physiological disorder with their brain chemistry. But they are still individuals. Two people with bipolar can have completely different personalities. One might love drama and seek it out in his relationships. The other wants nothing to do with it and minds her own business. Some people with bipolar try to be positive and proactive about the disorder, and some are bitter and negative and uncooperative. Some people with bipolar lie and steal, just like some people who don't have bipolar and lie and steal. Some people with bipolar cheat on their spouses, just like some people who don't have bipolar cheat on their spouses. Some people with bipolar have terrible family relationships because of things they've done or because their family is unsupportive. Some people with bipolar cultivate loving family relationships and have a supportive family. And both of these scenarios happen in families in which bipolar is not present. Bipolar stereotypes are just that – stereotypes. There may be some psychological symptoms that people with bipolar have in common, which is how bipolar is identified and diagnosed, but even the characteristics of bipolar states themselves can vary from person to person (since it is a spectrum disorder).
I didn't ask my new friend what he meant by his reaction to my diagnosis. Some days I don't have the energy to go into it, or I just want to finish my lunch and get back to work, or I tell myself, Maybe it meant nothing. Maybe he wasn't sure how to react and that's why his face went the way it did. Whatever the reason, it spurred me to write this post.
Thanks for reading it.

Improving Student Communication with Texting
It's no secret that text messaging is the preferred method of communication for today's students over email, direct mail or phone calls; a recent study found that some 97 percent say they use texting as their primary form of communication, 73 percent say they want schools to text them, and nearly three quarters of prospective students want to text with admissions counselors. However, only 28 percent report being offered the option to text with their college or university. How should institutions address this gap by reaching students the way they prefer?
Attend this web seminar to learn strategies and best practices for using texting to communicate effectively with current and prospective students, from the vice president of enrollment at Carroll University in Wisconsin, which has been using texting to communicate with students and seen a dramatic increase in the number of quality contacts and a 50 percent increase in enrollment yield, as well as improved efficiency and effectiveness in the admissions and financial aid departments and student success and retention efforts.
Topics will include:
- Understanding the communications crisis in higher ed
- Crucial legal and policy considerations regarding texting
- Integrating texting with existing information systems and communications plans
- Best practices for implementing texting at any institution
Scheduled speakers:
James Wiseman
Vice President of Enrollment
Carroll University
Dave Marshall
Who will benefit: Higher ed administrators interested in improving student communications. Anyone may attend.

Over 1.8 million nonprofits and charities for donors, volunteers and funders
Causes: Animals, Education, Educational Services, Environment, Environmental Education, Marine Science & Oceanography, Technology, Wildlife Preservation & Protection
Mission: MSI's mission is to cultivate a responsibility for the natural environment and our human communities through interdisciplinary science education.
Results: MSI has been conducting watershed education programs on and around the San Francisco Bay and Coast for almost 50 years. We estimate that a total of 1 million students have enriched their understanding of science and the environment through our programs, and as a result are living their lives with a greater sense of responsibility for the environment. MSI currently works with 50,000 students of all ages each year. At least 75% of teachers rebook our services year after year. Most our growth can be attributed to word of mouth promotion by satisfied teachers and other educators. More than 3,000 teacher surveys collected in the last 3 program years reveal an extremely high satisfaction rate. Teachers rated MSI with a nearly perfect score of 3.9+ on a scale of 1-4. On those same surveys, teachers also scored our programs an average of 3.3 on a scale of 1 - 4 when asked "How likely is this program to increase your students' understanding of science?" The most common remark by teachers is about how impressed they are at MSI's ability to engage students in active learning of science, and capture the attention of even the toughest cases of wandering minds or disinterested students. Students we taught in our early years are now in their 50's. They have passed on their love and appreciation of the environment to their children and grandchildren. Teachers who went through our program when they were students come back to us to provide the MSI experience for their students. Science teachers using the Institute programs have been awarded Presidential Science Teaching recognition, and then commented, "It all began on that ship on the Bay". Many MSI "alumni" students and staff play active roles in environmental conservation or in other sciences. Some are even captains of industry.
Target demographics: Students of all ages and schools throughout Northern California
Direct beneficiaries per year: 55,000
Geographic areas served: Northern California
Programs: MSI serves 55,000 students each year by making them marine scientists for the day by putting them in touch with their local habitat and using scientific equipment on our 90-foot research vessel and hands-on programs on our San Francisco Bayside beach.

DoubleTwist, a company known for their DoubleTwist apps for mac and android is at it again with an new Android app that lets you get songs from iTunes Radio. They implemented streaming features to their popular DoubleTwist Music app for android including ways to sync your music from iTunes and the ability to airplay to your Apple TV. Similarly their mac app lets you download your iTunes music and sync to your android, iPhone, or even Blackberry phone. Now with their latest android app you can get music from iTunes Radio and download it to your android phone.
So how does it work? Basically the new app turns your android phone into an AirPlay receiver for your iTunes on your mac or PC. Simply open the app, hit record, and select "dT Recorder" as the airplay device on your mac or PC and then it sends the music to the DoubleTwist app and records it. According to the app's creators, it is completely legal and they compared it to recording audio cassettes and a similar recording feature in the TuneIn Radio app.

bCashCoach App is a tool for parents teaching their kids healthy cash habits together with ecological awareness and care for our planet. I believe that there is a need to pass an eco+logical teaching to our children. I'm sure many of us, loving parents are already doing that… but in our busy lives there is still a vacancy for a tool as the bCashCoach App to make things easier.
bCashCoach App includes a document to suggest some cool things you can consider when doing your shopping. Keep them in mind and making wise shopping decisions can help you to purchase a better quality product, to support manufacturers they sincerely care about needs of their customers and they consider an ecological footprint their production might have on the environment. There are many movements and campaigns to empower citizens to make the difference. For example buying products with fair trade logo supports an international trade system based on justice and fairness. This helps to many families all over the world to live dignified and peaceful life and more children can attend school and develop their full potential.
bCashCoach App supports busy parents to raise financially successful and eco+logically caring kids. I believe that we as human beings can be financial successful and caring for nature simultaneously. Our planet is a living organism and it thrives on when treated with care and love. As parents we are given an opportunity to share values with our children to make their life emotionally content, professionally successful and economically peaceful in the future. We can inspire them to make a better world. A world where human beings live in harmony and peace with one another, with nature and environment. In order to live freely it doesn't have to limit freedom of others or injure nature. Living fulfilling life there is no need to seizure anything. It doesn't cost a lot to make a difference. Our awareness and good will are enough. Awareness is helping us to recognize opportunities and good will (our motivation) helps us to do it!

If the beach on your doorstep is item number one on your holiday wish-list, then Pergamos Village, a pretty, greenery-fringed, self-catering complex in sunny Kolymbari is sure to hit the spot. Sitting on the popular north coast of Crete, Kolymbari has lots of cultural, historic and natural attractions, and great access to the popular resort of Platanias or busy Chania just down the coast.
This small, 3-star family-run complex has just 27 studios and apartments on site, so you'll enjoy plenty of space and privacy. Flowers and palm trees line the paths and a sizeable pool, where you can not only enjoy a dip but also your favourite drink from the pool-side bar and snack bar. There's plenty of room to spread out in your apartment too. All units have a kitchenette with a small fridge, a hob, and a kettle, their own balconies, TV, air-conditioning, and private bathroom and showers.
You'll save staying in Pergamos Village too, which is excellent value for this part of Crete, and especially good value early or late in the season, when the Cretan weather is possibly at its best.
Kolymbari has a big pebble beach that's just a short walk from your door in Pergamos Village. The popular sandy beaches at Platanias are just down the road. You'll find plenty of dining and drinking options there too, though this part of the coast doesn't have the wild partying that some parts of the island do, and is a great family location.
Some of the most popular local attractions are olive oil and wine producers, who open up to the public for tastings and tours. Hiking or horse riding along the coast are also popular, and the ports at Platanias and Chania have boat tours that showcase the beautiful wild shoreline. Chania is a short drive away, and you'll love wandering around its historic old town and harbour, eating in classic sea-front tavernas, or checking out some good local museums.
Pergamos Village is a brilliant value way to enjoy the sunshine and exciting local attractions of this unique part of the most distinctive Greek island.

Cassiopeia Build
Purchase Order
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.
This is my guide to Cassiopeia. Since 4 moths ago, she has been my main AP carry and this is just the way I play her and how I came to these conculsions.
Cassiopeia is not an easy champion to play. It requires a good team who know how work with her, she must synergise with her team and coordinate attacks, this is also required without her team as many of her spells compliment each other.
Cass's primary needs are magic damage tools and Movespeed, conting haste and slow.
Defensive stats are always welcome if you are taking alot of hits but it never should be a core focus unless you are building to one specific defensive item.
I play her exclusively with smart cast to speed up casting combos, this is a personal preference but I feel without using this she casts too slow.
( Thanks to Stinglock for grammar and spell corrections).
Greater Mark of Magic Penetrationx9
These runes are standard runes for most of AP carries. It provides you a high amount of magic pen.
Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regenerationx9
Yellow runes helps you avoiding to run out of mana. They are common in Ap carries too.
Greater Glyph of Magic Penetrationx9
¿Why do I got mark pen blue runes? I know usually AP/level are common runes here and if you let me to say they are better in general AP concepts, for example I use it on my Ap standard page ( Mpen red- Mreg Yellow-Ap/lvl Blue AP flat Q and other variety) but Cassio have good Ap ratios and I start o pick AP from items soon. in my playstyle I will get AP fast in game. Mana regen are just for yellow runes.
Mana regen/lvl are yellow runes: It helps a lot early and they are a nice restoring for whole game.
Quintessences spots are filled with movement speed runes.
Ye, ye, I know that.. now, you will say I rather Ap flat runes mainly. Trust me, I Played with them 3 months and half. Ap flat runes are always good runes for any carry AP in the game, but specificly Cassiopeia needs a good movement to assure your poison spells will not fail.
Masteries are 21/0/9
Masteries in offensive are Archmage' sawy. A little AP is always welcome.
An improved Exhaust, Cripple, since we will got Exhaust most of times.
A little reduction of CDs and finally Archaic knowledge, with this our spells will penetrate a 15% being in a total of 49% with Void Staff and a flat M pen of 13,68 ~14 plus boots ~34.
There is a semifalse known statement what says Mpen don't combine well with Mpen %. The true behind this is the percentatge always applied afterwards will offer an increased ratio of improvement if % Mpen is alone but doesn't mean that the overall penetration will be better.
An exaple for this is if we have 200 X and now we do a 50% minus it will be 100 X but if we have 200 X and we minus 20 so we get 180 and then we minus 50% we will get 90 X. Second Value is lower (100-90) but the flat decreasing was bigger in first one (100-90).
Other Issue is when %Mpen begins to be effective in game, it is good mainly with eemies with high Magic resistance with 120-150 Mres.
For Utility we get Perseverence and 1 point in good hands since we don't use Teleport either Ghost. in tier 2, 1 point in Expanded mind and full of Awareness for increased Exp ratio.
Tier 3, greed and meditation with runes, masteries and a little from items our mana regen will be nice.
Quickness and Blink of an Eye are our tier 4 masteries in Utility. Movement speed is one of more important things at beginning, starting with 333 is a good movement speed early.
Finally we will reduce our CDs a little with Intelligence and our Cds of Summoner spells with Pressence of Master.
In Resume Which will be the key Masteries: Archaic Knowledge, Quickness and our improvements for our Summoner Spells.
Skill Sequence
First of all, we will get one point inNoxious Blast and it will be the spell we will improve faster, because it is the core spell with one you can begin to do damage, it means evenTwing fang being a better Dps output it is not possible ifNoxious Blastis not hitting, besides this, it gives you an increased movement speed what it means you will hit with fangs more easily.
At level 4 we will getMiasma but it will be the Last skill to upgrade, it gives you a good slow and a good damage to stationary enemies. It helps you a little farming and kiting enemies helped withNoxious Blast.
The other skill isTwing fang, it becomes your burst damage part followed by the decreasing continuous damage. It means spam of this is what gives you burst damage ( Not so high like another AP heros) but it is always with continuous DPS, without this, burst will never exists.
1050 total damage withPetrifying Gaze, no AP, no resistances and being one second inMiasma After 3 seconds. After this you get a 478 DPS ( Without AP). But it requires a good aiming if not your damage will decrease a lot.
Items are just one of more important thing in every game. I have played her in many ways, with Abyssal, with Rylai, starting with Tear of Goddess etc.
But, now I will write the best way I found to build her.
We start withBoots of speed followed bySorcerer's shoes Now we haveSorcerer's shoes next we get 2Dorans's ring Now we haveSorcerer's shoes and 2Doran's Ring. Now we need 1200 gold to getHextech Revolver, you can get this all in once, twice or three steps. Later we will get aWill of the Ancients but not so quickly. BeforeWill of the Ancients, we will build aRabadon's Deathcap will gives us an incredible boost of damage letting you being healed withHextech Revolver. Next step we will finishWill of the Ancients
After this three items the order of next could be a little variated. try to Keep2Doran's Ring with you if you can at all cost. If you see enemies are getting a lot of Magic Resistance or the tank ( With High magic resistance) is being a problem in terms of enemy team damage getVoid Staff, if the game is being ok and you feel good getLich Bane
WithLich Bane you have an autoattacks of 500 approx every 2 seconds, and if you are a good cassio you shouldn't be more than 1 second with no casting in battle, besides of its passive, it offers AP and movement speed, two of keys for this AP carry and a little of Defense vs Magic. ( Specificly I didn't test the benefits of this items until a long time playing with her and now I can say I don't change it for anything).
Last item will be Archmage Staff. With it you will have an incredible mana pool and a good mana regen, anyway this item could be changed for a more deffensive option, if possible try one item with mana or regen mana like anshee's Veil or Frozen Hearth. ( The Deffensive Step could be before lich bane and or Void staff if game is beig bad. If it needs to be your fist or second item play antoher character.
Summoner Spells
Our Summoner Spells are 2.
Flash: It lets you a lot of things, escape or positioning are the most common things to do, Position is the key of this hero, try always to synergize it will her Ultimate.
Exhaust: It lets you kill and or escape from one enemy.
I played a lot of times with ghost but I consider this spell better for her. Why? Usually, the ranged or melee DPS will try to get you ion the crowd of battle ( tryn, Xin, Yi... Etc) even with ghost you won't be able to escape from them most of times, but with exhaust you will be able to anulate them, even killing them or helping the whole team. This is one of the reasons because frozen heart will be better against physical before Thornmail.
Another good option is Ignite only if Exhaust is covered and they know they need to protect you.
Pros / Cons
Nice Harrass.
Good Aoe Damage.
Good Laner.
Burst/continuous damage equilibrated.
Hared to play.
Insults from Kids in Qeues.
Cassiopeia is an underrated AP carry which can carry a game if played well.
In terms of overall damage she is good like another AP.
Frequently we listen that she has no burst but it is not true at all. It have a little, not the best but not the worst, her issue is just to know how to synergize her own spells and to know the damage is being in last seconds more than in first. For example in a ratio of 5 seconds a Veigar/ Annie will do most of damage in second 1-2-3 but Cassiopeia will do in seconds 3-4-5, so many people say, what happen if you die before second 3? No problem damage will be done anyway like if a Veigar dies.
Playing against...
Cassiopeia usually is a mid char. In a typical EU setup Ap carry goes mid, in one of US typical build setups, it depends if you are playing with 2 AP carries or another though like Rumble or Vlad.
The best for Cassiopeia is going mid though she can play in any lane. She can be good playing against 1 or 2 in top lane depending enemies if you know how to farm in your own tower, the worst lane phase is going with AD carry, specially if your lane have not to be pushed because you shouldn't use your zone spells in order to not harrass what mean you will be outfarmed ( more than necessary) by Ad carry wqith autoattacks.
To be continued.
3/1/12: Detailed list of items more accurately and step by step.
* Note: The two doran's ring are not before upgrade boots always. It is optional. First always boots lvl 1 + 3 pots and then Sorc boots or 1 ring, never second doran's before upgrade boots.
It was done in this way in order to not shade sorcerer's boots name.
3/1/12: Changed Archangel'Staff by Rylai.
Both items are good but Archaengel is very expensive if we take account about it is a rechargable item and it is not early game. It provides a good pool of mana, but Rylai synergizes nice with you, even can be more suitable if you get Lich Bane after.

Government Energy Aggregation
In 2012, New Jersey's first Government Energy Aggregation (GEA) program began to operate in Plumstead Township, allowing residential electricity customers to save money through the aggregation of their electricity bills into a single bid. Gabel Associates was instrumental in the development of this pioneering, municipality-wide procurement program, and has since established itself as the lead GEA consultant in the state by offering a combination of unparalleled energy market expertise and attentive customer service. To date, the firm has successfully implemented ten GEA programs in New Jersey.
Through a GEA program, a municipality reduces its residents' energy bills by aggregating the residents into a single bid, and procuring a third-party energy supplier to provide energy at a cost below utility-provided generation service. GEAs provide residential customers with contract and term protections not afforded when they procure energy on their own. Residents have the flexibility to opt out of the program at any time with no penalties or fees.
Our Unmatched GEA Capabilities
Gabel Associates has one-of-a-kind expertise in the effective implementation of GEA programs that maximize benefits to consumers, and has supported the largest number GEA programs in New Jersey. The firm currently serves as the GEA energy agent for 17 municipalities serving over 520,000 residents.
The firm utilizes proven and comprehensive outreach and marketing techniques that fully and effectively disseminate information to targeted communities. We work diligently to understand the unique dynamics within each population to ensure that our marketing efforts are well received and easily assessed by all residents.
Gabel Associates offers refined customer service and education to ensure that resident concerns are answered promptly and fully resolved. This includes the use of a designated Program Administrator (along with a team of trained representatives) that expeditiously responds to and logs all customer inquiries and public education concerns. Our team is committed to facilitating resident calls within 24 hours of receipt, with most answered on the same day.
Gabel Associates has been trusted by municipalities to manage all aspects of their GEA program, including many that have embarked on multiple rounds of bidding to extend the benefits of the program. This activity requires significant customer service and logistical skills to manage large volumes of data and interact with residents, as well as strong technical and analytical knowledge to achieve significant cost savings within a stringent regulatory framework.
Gabel Associates developed the first GEA program documents to be reviewed and approved by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) and Rate Counsel. This included the negotiation and execution of an EDC agreement with the applicable utility, in accordance with regulatory requirements.
In response to growing environmental concerns, we developed the first GEA program in the New Jersey to offer residents the option of a 100% renewable energy component. The firm has had direct involvement in the development of the state's renewable portfolio standard and has been actively involved in renewable certificate purchasing, which enables us to efficiently design program elements with enhanced renewable content.

Dan Blair led the way with three medals as four of Oxfordshire's top players enjoyed a productive trip to compete in the Hampshire Under 16 Open.
Blair, from Didcot, opened his account in the boys singles, thrashing Devon's Will Friar 21-10, 21-13 in the final.
He then teamed up with Brize Norton's Ben Roberts to claim the boys doubles title, beating Friar and his partner, Andrew Brownlie of Sussex, 21-14, 21-14. Blair could not quite complete a golden hat-trick in Winchester, as he and Kezia Lawson (Benson) had to settle for a silver in the mixed doubles.
They eventually lost a closely-contested final 21-19, 20-22, 21-19 to Dorset's Jack McGregor and Freya Patel-Redfearn, from Middlesex. Megan Ready, of Long Wittenham, completed the quartet, teaming up with Lawson to win a bronze in the girls doubles.

Why not just try and flag them down from outside their 'kill-zone' with a white flag? Maybe a sign or note of sorts.
Joe - NY
I wouldn't trust a white flag gesture in a SHTF scenerio. That's the oldest trick in the book to get close to prey, and I'm certainly not going to walk into a possible bear trap. I prefer to take my time and build a trust rather than thrust it on someone in a SHTF situation.
Remember what Einstein said:
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
I would get so pissed off to find a deer on my porch.
1. cause someone is wasting my deer.
2. Somebody made it to and from my place without me being alerted.
I don't see a good answer here. Go with your gut? Why do you need a MAG anyhow?
My final thoughts are that symboligy for peaceful intentions will are iffy, and everyone had to be on the same page to use them...
Trust. It's what's for dinner.
Is it really a gesture of good faith when a stranger attempts to force his/herself into your life? They don't know you. They won't trust you. And you may have already violated any chance of trust by sneaking up to their porch.
I might trust my neighbors. To an extent. But some random person looking for a secluded spot to ride out the SHTF, not a chance.
If the family says "thanks for the meat but not interested in having you around", what then?
No one is forcing anything. Just offering. If they say thanks but no thanks, that's ok too. No forcing. There are more "IF's" in the equation from your point of view.
We as a country form coalitions with other countries. Are you telling me you wouldn't try to form the same with another person in a situation where people might need each other if and when SHTF happens.
Small town people actually work together in bad situations. If I were in a strange and unfamiliar place, say like Idaho, I wouldn't attempt it. My goal would be to get back to my home area before attempting a coalition. I know the mindset in my area.
Remember what Einstein said:
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
That's just what I'm saying. Small town folk do tend to work together. Because they know one another. Like my town, with a population of around 250. But most likely would be pretty unlikely to take in an outsider that just showed up one day.
I certainly wouldn't want or need this stranger's help. I would just assume he/she has an eye on my crops or cattle and is looking for a free ride or a chance to kill me and my family and take it all. The only people I would accept help from are those I have known for a long time that have something to offer in return other than just manpower.
Why a mag?
Because a single person can't pull guard duty 24/7
And besides I'm bored with the voices in my head.
They always argue with my imaginary friends
Cry in training - laugh in battle

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'EZ-Flash' started by Ryukouki, Oct 17, 2009.
Hiya, I have just finished the official review of the EZ Flash Vi, which can be found here.
This is so sad, no one cares about the EZ Flash Vi?! I spent like 10 hours doing this!
Shadow, you're not allowed to bump topics man.
10 hours? Really?! I hope you're kidding..
actually yeah i did but sorry, this section needs some love
I just got an EZ-Flash Vi and am running it with a DS Lite.
I downloaded the appropriate software from the EZ-Flash website, but my Moonshell appears to be the one you disparage in your review:
Where can I get the 2.0 Beta, and is there any trick to installing it?
I got it -- it's in your review! I just downloaded it and replaced the bin and Moonshell folder on the SD root.
MUCH better! Bravo!
This card is a real step up from my old R4 so far. The thing I really hated about the R4 was the 2 gig max on the SD card -- I was always having to take stuff off. No problem here. This guy goes up to 32 gig, but I can't afford one that big. I'm using an 8, which is plenty big for my purposes.
In what way is the review "official"?
If you have a zoom on your camera just get back some feets and then zoom and your pictures will be OK
Well, it was gonna be the first Vi review on DSDatabase, because EZ Flash Vi was never officially reviewed on DSDatabase, and I'm PV's partner when it comes to reviews, so ermmmm yeah, I don't know if that sums anything up for you...
i have to say a well balanced review yeh the photography sucks kidding nicely done, to be honest this is a underated card, i have done a few for freinds and family and the reliability is superb, the new packaging looks funky aslong as the card continues to grow in features and compatability it will hopefully get the recognition it deserves one day!
yeah i know the photos suck. I tried really hard though, but nothing seemed to work for me. I tried a crapload of angles no joy
Seems the EZ Flash Vi isn't that popular. Still a great card.. I'm not sure why it doesn't get a bigger audience.
I definitely appreciate it, in fact your review is one of the reasons I decided to purchase the EZ Flash Vi just now. I already own 3 other flashcarts but never really knew much about the EZ Flash brand.
Sounds like a very under-rated card and I was surprised by the ton of features on the card. So anyways, thanks again for your work. Hopefully this card will get more attention. Mine should be arriving in a couple days.
Thanks for this review.
I would like also to see one on GBAtemp.
BTW, i also appreciate the work done by PharaohsVizier on another EZVi review
Thanks guys.
Decent enough review (although I only skimmed over it) but the scoring is really messed up. Three categories score out of ten, one out of fifteen and one out of five? Ive never seen that before man. And calling it an official review is deceptive as it has nothing to do with GBAtemp.
Hey fellow Gbatemp isn't the only DS website there is alright. Did he ever say This is the official review of the EZ-Flash Vi for Gbatemp?
Haha, I only just noticed that also. That IS a little strange. Shadow, you might wanna change that somehow. Like, either make "random gimmicks" a 8/10 or remove it completely and make the others rateable upon 15.
Well, I suppose an explanation of my scoring of what I thought at the time is in order. When I thought about them, I gave certain categories more points because I found them to be more important, and I wanted to emphasize certain areas of the cart. I'll go and fix it on the next review though, thanks for the insight guys.
nice review!!!! i started out with an ez5+ and i'm just now moving to the vi cart for use with dsi and i can say it is one of the best only downside is it isn't very popular which is a bit strange since, in my opinion, it surpasses all the other ones as far as features, compatibility and skins customization.
