Original peer-reviewed contributions from recognized and established scholars and practitioners offer a variety of perspectives on teaching English as a second or foreign language and an expanded focus on teaching in international contexts. The authors challenge several current practices from multiple viewpoints and offer innovations that are thoughtful and engaging.
Definitely, we must build on our past and present knowledge of what works to refine and improve existing language teaching practices and, it is hoped, develop other practices that will be even better and more encompassing. Thus, Chapter 1 reports the launch of a newly designed problem-based learning program in which metacognitive strategy instruction is integrated into an English listening curriculum. It combines the Problem-Based Learning Approach from education and the Metacognitive Approach from second-language listening research. The author does a good job at the end to try to disentangle the effects of the two treatments.
This is an exciting time to be teaching English as a second or foreign language. In many countries, children are starting to learn English at an ever-younger age. Chapter 2 provides a meta-analysis of the situation currently observed in many English as a foreign language classes given to Polish and Slovak preschool learners, among others. It covers not only an analysis of a number of currently observed approaches, but also presents research-based propositions. Also, it suggests a handful of problem-grounded outcomes.
We cannot be satisfied with the in-progress state of affairs but must seek out new ways to provide learners with the most effective and efficient language learning experiences possible, taking into account the learners' goals, interests, and learning contexts. Chapter 3 concerns the attitudes of Polish English-language majors to their target language cultural learning. Though Chapter 3 leaves us with many questions unanswered, it sheds the light on the teaching of cultural elements, particularly in a European context.
Finally, Chapter 4 offers a unique perspective on language instruction, particularly for audiences unfamiliar with Buddhist philosophy. Basically, it describes a teaching approach based on Buddhist philosophy, which would probably be very effective for someone familiar and/or interested in that particular school of thought. Alternatively, it would open readers' mind to a completely different approach to language instruction, which may or may not work outside of its current context, but at least it has a very clear philosophical foundation and very clear set of procedures that are worth examining further.
The intended audience are all those who are interested in teaching English as second or foreign language, including researchers, methodologists, curriculum and materials designers, teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students.

Test results (stock/reference assemblies)
First of all, let's see how BigTyp VP and MaxOrb EX perform in the quietest mode (conditionally noiseless domain) in comparison with several competitors of the same class.
Chart 1. Temperature readings (CPU core temperature, conditionally noiseless domain)
Chart 2. Thermal resistance (conditionally noiseless domain)
As you can see, BigTyp VP does not demonstrate consoling thermal results. It lags behind the leading coolers catastrophically, the gap reaches 20°C (or 0.13 C/W in physical terms): extremely dense fin steps assert themselves all the way, clamping down on any attempts of the stock fan to blow them through. Although assemblies with the reference Minebea fan show some technical progress in the BigTyp VP image (which has to do with the "dry" connection between pipes and fins instead of feeble thermal glue in Big Typhoon), the stock Everflow fan demonstrates its inability to operate at extremely low speed. It makes the deficit of cooling capacity even worse. On the contrary, MaxOrb EX puts up vigorous and coordinated performance -- its results get close to Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B (which is designed for low-pressure air flows) and Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme. That is the cooler demonstrates its results owing to its skills, not to its technical parameters (heat exchange surface area of MaxOrb EX is twice as small as in BigTyp VP).
Now let's have a look at the situation in the low-noise domain, where we selected not only High-End products, but also several Mid-End products -- Cooler Master Hyper TX2, GlacialTech Igloo 5750 PWM, and Scythe Mine Rev. B.
Chart 3. Temperature readings (CPU core temperature, low-noise domain)
Chart 4. Thermal resistance (low-noise domain)
Well, the situation remains the same on the qualitative level -- the stock configuration of BigTyp VP stops short in the group of outsiders, being outperformed not only by High-End coolers, but also by Mid-End products -- GlacialTech Igloo 5750 PWM and Scythe Mine Rev. B. Alas, even in case of similar flow characteristics of our fans (the on-board Everflow fan and the reference Minebea) the static pressure still does not agree well with hydraulics of BigTyp VP. So it cannot contribute to more or less serious ventilation of the heat sink to reach optimal heat release coefficients. At the same time, MaxOrb EX retains its competitive positions again -- it tries to keep up with state-of-the-art coolers and demonstrates decent thermal efficiency.
Now let's have a look at the results demonstrated in the ergonomic domain (noise reference mark -- 31-32 dBA).
Chart 5. Temperature readings (CPU core temperature, ergonomic domain)
Chart 6. Thermal resistance (ergonomic domain)
Results are smoother here -- BigTyp VP starts to use its advanced design to close the thermal gap to MaxOrb EX. It launches an offensive to such rivals as Cooler Master Hyper 212, Scythe Andy Samurai Master, Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B, and Zalman CNPS9700 NT. Nevertheless, the heights inhabited by High-End coolers (Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme and Noctua NH-U12P) are still objectively out of reach. Results of MaxOrb EX in this mode do not look that convincing either: its efficiency does not progress as pronouncedly as in BigTyp VP; Mid-End coolers do not loosen the grip either (GlacialTech Igloo 5750 PWM and Scythe Mine Rev. B). They demonstrate practically equal results.

Ralph Burns, outreach coordinator with the Elections Division of the Arkansas Secretary of State's office, visited Star City High School on April 20 to register students to vote. Those who will turn 18 before election day were eligible to register.
Burns spoke to Star City High School students about election laws. He also answered questions about the voting process, such as different ways students can vote when they move away to go to college, according to a news release.
Students completed voter registration forms that will allow them to participate in upcoming elections.
During the program, Burns taught students to how to use an actual electronic voting machine and allowed them to practice casting a sample ballot.
Star City High School art teacher Roger Darren High organized the voter registration event.
This is the 6th time High has worked with Burns to register students to vote (twice for Star City and four times for Dermott High School), according to the release.
"Helping our students to become registered voters is one of the most important things we can do as educators," High said. "Becoming a registered voter is an important step to helping our students make the transition from student to responsible citizen."
"It is important that we teach our students to become politically active and to exercise their right to vote," said High. "By voting in local, state, and national elections students can have a voice in the political process and help decide what kind of government we will have."

Precautions for Private Well Owners
Contact Us

Mailing Address
900 University Boulevard North
Jacksonville, Florida 32211
The Florida Department of Health (DOH) advises private well owners affected by flood waters to take precautions against disease-causing organisms that may make water unsafe to drink.
DOH recommends one of the following:
- Boil water before use, holding it at rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for drinking, brushing teeth, washing food, cooking, or washing dishes.
- Disinfect water by adding 8 drops (about 1/8 tsp – this would form a puddle about the size of a dime) of plain, unscented household bleach (4 to 6 percent active ingredient) per gallon of water, and then let it stand for 30 minutes. If the water is cloudy after 30 minutes, repeat the procedure once. Use a container that has a cap or cover for disinfecting and storing water to be used for drinking. This will prevent contamination.
- Use bottled water, especially for mixing baby formula.
After the flooding subsides:
Disinfect your well using the procedures provided by your county or state health department:
You may also visit the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's website for instructions:
If available, have your water tested through your county health department or by a laboratory certified by the state to perform a drinking water analysis for coliform bacteria.

is a weekly event hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine. This meme is a place that spotlights upcoming releases that we´re eagerly anticipating with pure joy.
I wasn´t sure if I would have a book to name for this meme since most of the books I am waiting for are coming out later in the year or don´t have a cover published yet.
And to be honest, I don´t like to share an upcoming book with you if I can´t provide you the cover for it.
It seems to be only half of the fun and that is what this meme is all about, right? Having fun sharing the books we can´t wait to get our hands on or better said: eyes…
But I found a book that I actually have since a few weeks now on my wishlist, but I wasn´t even aware of it until the moment I wrote this post. The book I am telling you about will be the fourth book in the series The School For Good And Evil.
It might sound silly but when I discovered the first book of this series some years back at my library, I found the cover design so great, that I spontaneously borrowed it. There are so many wonderful details that show up in the story itself, and to see them during reading was quite some fun. So after I had finished reading book one I knew that I wanted to read all the others as well.
The School For Good And Evil: Quests For Glory
Author Soman Chainani
The School For Good And Evil #4
Publishing Date September 19, 2017
Publisher Harper Collins
Format Hardcover
The students at the School for Good and Evil thought they had found their final Ever After when they vanquished the malevolent School Master. Now on their required fourth-year quests, the students face obstacles both dangerous and unpredictable, and the stakes are high: success brings eternal adoration, and failure means obscurity forever. For their quests, Agatha and Tedros are trying to return Camelot to its former splendor as queen and king. For her quest, Dean Sophie seeks to mold Evil in her own image. But soon they all feel themselves growing more isolated and alone. When their classmates´ quests plunge into chaos, however, someone must lead the charge to save them. If Good and Evil can´t find a way to work together, neither side will survive.
And what are you waiting for? Let me know your thoughts about this one or leave me the link to your WoW and I check it out.
Happy reading & waiting on

Leading American Bicycle Manufacturer Detroit Bikes enters into sponsorship agreement with pinball champion Robert Gagno
Detroit, MI. Feb 27, 2017 – Detroit Bikes, the nation's largest bicycle manufacturer, has entered into a sponsorship agreement with reigning world pinball champion Robert Gagno, Detroit Bikes Founder Zak Pashak announced today.
"I think Robert is a fantastic ambassador for Detroit Bikes," said Pashak, "He is someone who faces the magnitude of life directly, and continues to work through any challenges he faces to find incredible success".
"Thank you to Detroit Bikes for their sponsorship. I am very excited and honored to represent them," said Robert Gagno from his home in Vancouver, Canada.
Detroit Bikes, North America's only large-scale bicycle manufacturer, may seem like an unlikely fit for sponsorship of one of the world's greatest pinball players, but to Zak Pashak the partnership makes perfect sense. "Robert is a champion doing interesting things in life and, frankly, I admire him. I think he shows what Detroit Bikes aspires to be in the community".
Robert will be competing in the World Pinball Championship in Pittsburgh from April 5-9. More information on the tournament can be found by visiting the Professional & Amateur Pinball Association (PAPA) website.
Detroit Bikes has recently begun rehiring workers in preparation for what it anticipates will be a very busy 2017. Many more exciting announcements are in the works.
About Detroit Bikes:
Founded in 2011, Detroit Bikes manufactures accessible, quality bicycles in Detroit. Leveraging a rich tradition of skilled manufacturing and innovative design, the company operates a 50,000 square-foot factory on Detroit's west side with a capacity to produce more than 100 bicycles a day. For more information visit: https://detroitbikes.com/
About Robert Gagno:
Robert Emilio Gagno ("REG" in the pinball community) is 28 years old and is the current reigning Pinball World Champion. He was recently featured in ESPN The Magazine, and is the subject of a feature length documentary called "Wizard Mode" which follows some of his challenges on the professional pinball tournament scene as well as his personal challenges. When Robert isn't playing pinball, he loves to watch sports, practice circus tricks, and enjoy the outdoors bike riding. For more about Robert, ESPN.com.

What is Mardi Gras and why do so many Christians celebrate it? I grew up in a Catholic church and never could quite figure out how people could say that Mardi Gras was a "Christian holiday". People broadly seemed to have accepted the concept that Christ wants us to embrace wild parties, drunkenness, public nudity, gluttony and other sinful behavior as a precursor to a period of repentance which follows. If it is not obvious enough that celebrating Mardi Gras is not a way to edify, honor, or lift up Christ then try a more academic exercise. Where in scripture did Jesus demonstrate or teach that we should sin greatly before a period of repentance? It's not there. In fact, the opposite.
The call to repentance is real, but not the call to sin before it.
This does not even begin to touch on the focus that Mardi Gras puts on pagan gods associated with parades and other events.
17From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
1What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7for he who has died is freed from sin.
8Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.
20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We are called to righteousness and not to sin. How then can those in the church widely accept and embrace sin as a "Christian holiday"? The answer is that we have not followed the Lord's instructions. He commands us not to learn the ways of the pagans and not to celebrate as they do. But all too often our common cultural holidays have been greatly influenced by pagan celebrations. The church has chosen to accept and blend pagan practices alongside or in place of how the Lord wants us to worship Him.
What Is Mardi Gras?
Mardi Gras is a tradition that dates back thousands of years to pagan celebrations of spring and fertility, including the raucous Roman festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia.
When Christianity arrived in Rome, religious leaders decided to incorporate these popular local traditions into the new faith, an easier task than abolishing them altogether. As a result, the excess and debauchery of the Mardi Gras season became a prelude to Lent, the 40 days of fasting and penance between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday.
Along with Christianity, Mardi Gras spread from Rome to other European countries, including France, Germany, Spain and England.
1"These are the statutes and the judgments which you shall carefully observe in the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess as long as you live on the earth. 2"You shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess serve their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. 3"You shall tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and burn their Asherim with fire, and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods and obliterate their name from that place. 4"You shall not act like this toward the LORD your God. 5"But you shall seek the LORD at the place which the LORD your God will choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling, and there you shall come.
In order to choose to follow the Lord His way, which is the only true way to follow Him, then we must turn away from and reject pagan celebrations which have been blended with or replaced God's instructions for how we are to worship Him and how we are to live. Let us not make excuses, accepting the lifestyle of the pagans as our own, no matter how long the family traditions have been established. When we start making exceptions, we often end up with things like Mardi Gras… many who claim to be Christian accept it and would defend it… but none can justify it based on scripture or God's word. It has become part of the culture based on a historical choices and family traditions. Let us seek the Lord and the Lord's way alone to live submitted to Him. Let us not blend with the ways of the pagans but rather turn back to our Lord wholeheartedly and without hesitation.
Have you submitted your life to Jesus Christ? Are you living today filled with the peace and joy of truly knowing and following Jesus Christ? Learn more about salvation through The Message of the Cross.

This is an episode from the novel A Dream of Red Mansions. Just as the whole family was busy prepasring the birthday ceremony for Jia Zheng, Jia was summoned(传唤,召集) to report to the imperial court. His family did not know why and felt uneasy about it. The family members waited for quite a while before the butler(男管家) came back to say that Jia Yuangchun (Jia Zheng's eldest daughter) was conferred the title of highest-ranking imperial concubine(妾,情妇) .The emperor had granted that Yuangchun would pay a visit to her parents at the upcoming Lantern Festival. The Jia family relaxed after hearing the news. In order to welcome the homecoming imperial concubine, the Jia family became busier and built a garden of grand views for the occasion.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Jia Zheng's mother led all members of her clan to wait by the main entrance to the garden. Accompanied by a swarm of(大群) imperial maids, Yuanchun came back on a sedan chair(轿子) which was draped with an embroidery(刺绣) of a phoenix and tiny gold bells. Eight men carried the sedan chair on their shoulders. The imperial concubine was shown around the garden, in which there were pavilions with gorgeously painted beams and pilars. There were also patches of bamboos and strangely-shaped stones. The trees in the garden were decorated with flowers made of silk cloth while lanterns made of conches and clams were placed aside a pond. The garden was decorated so majestically that even Yuanchun thought it to be too luxurious.
After Yuanchun was seated, Jia Zheng's mother and Madam Wang (Yuangchun's grandmother and mother) met with her. Ther faced one another in silence: the mother and grandmother couldn't speak a word; they just sobbed. Yuanchun finally said: "It is not easy for me to come back from a place where I can see no family members. But now that I'm back, you just sob away and have nothing to say to me. I'd better return to the palace. I don't know when I will be allowed to come home again." After that, all continued to cry.
After the banquet(盛宴) was ready, Yuanchun was marshaled to her seat. The imperial concubine invited her sisters and Bao Yu to recite poems, and she bestowed gifts to everyone at the bable. When the time came to leave, Yuanchun held the hands of her grandmothed that they not squander(浪费) noney on her next homecoming, if there was one .The imperial concubine then turned away from her parents and left mournfully.

Final Fantasy is known for its music, and series composer Nobuo Uematsu is taking the music on tour with the Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy show. Right now there are only two shows planned on the official website: a show on December 4 in Stockholm, Sweden and the US debut in Chicago on March 1.

- FINAL FANTASY I-III: Medley
- FINAL FANTASY III DS: Opening
- FINAL FANTASY IV: Theme of Love

Tickets for the Chicago show start at $35, but the $150 ticket gets you not only good seats, but the soundtrack CD, the tour program, and a meet and greet with Nobuo Uematsu himself.
If you're near either of these two shows, I'm jealous.

The Ranchu Goldfish is an exceptional example of fancy ornamental goldfish. Selectively bred and highly prized in Japan, the Red & White Ranchu Goldfish is gaining international popularity among goldfish enthusiasts.
The appearance of the Red & White Ranchu Goldfish is remarkable. Most notable is the absence of the dorsal fin. This distinguishing feature is accentuated by a full, egg-shaped body. A prominent arch in the back terminates downward at a sharp angle for a curved, tucked-in body shape unique to the Red & White Ranchu Goldfish.
As a branch developed from Lionhead Goldfish, the Red & White Ranchu Goldfish has a full hood that envelops the entire head with a raspberry-like growth. While this wide-eyed beauty may challenge the conventional notion of beauty, its stately presence and graceful nature make the Red & White Ranchu Goldfish an exquisite choice.
As a member of the carp family, the Red & White Ranchu Goldfish is generally quite hardy. It will do well in 100 litre aquariums or larger, as well as backyard garden ponds of 500 litres or more.
In addition to a fine gravel bottom or well-rounded river rocks, the Red & White Ranchu Goldfish will appreciate hardy, cold water plants. Keep in mind that goldfish are diggers and will scatter the fine sand onto leaves, injuring thin and less hardy plants.
There appears to be a definite courtship ritual when goldfish breed. Breeding often results in up to 1,000 eggs, with fry hatching in five to six days.
They should be fed small pieces of live or prepared foods designed for egg-laying fish.
Goldfish are omnivores and will eat all types of dried and live foods. However, limit protein intake to 30% of the diet. Goldfish flake or pellet food will provide these fish with the proper nutrition.

Sacramento, Calif. – Oct. 5, 2018 – Thursday night saw 53 entries in the $36,500 Grand Prix Qualifier CSI3*-W ahead of Saturday's $100,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Sacramento CSI3*-W, presented by Lasher's Elk Grove Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram. The first round course designed by Olaf Petersen Jr. of Germany consisted of 16 jumping efforts including one double and one triple combination. It proved challenging for many horses and riders, but eight pairs were able to complete the course with no rails down.
The jump off round was phenomenal, with exceptional efforts from horses and riders. Eduardo Menezes, Wilhelm Glenn, Eric Navet, Karrie Rufer, Kenneth Vinther, and Jennifer Gates each treated the audience to flawless jump off rides, all within seconds of each other. Then Karl Cook blazed across the timer with the fastest time to that point, but had the last rail down.
Last to ride the short course was Nayel Nassar riding Lucifer V, owned by Evergate Stables. This new combination proved they have what it takes to compete on the international stage, turning in the fastest time of the night to take the champion title in the competitive field.
"I'm still getting to know him," said Nassar of the 12-year-old bay Westphalian gelding. "He's got his own kind of way, he kind of bounces off the walls… but he's really quick and he's super competitive. He's such a fighter. He's got his own character, but he likes the job, he knows the job and he's good at the job." Nassar would like to thank Evergate Stables for giving him the ride on Lucifer V.
Karrie Rufer rode Mai Tai, a 9-year-old Westphalian gelding owned by Morning Star Sporthorses, to a second place finish. In third place was Eduardo Menezes riding H5 Quintol, a 13-year-old grey Oldenburg gelding owned by H5 Sport Horses.

Richard Spooner and Arthos R Race to the Blue in Friday Night's $36,500 Murieta Inn, Spa & Restaurant CSI3*
A packed house on Friday night at the Murieta Equestrian Center was treated to a fantastic speed class, the $36,500 Murieta Inn, Spa & Restaurant CSI3*. Thirty-four entries took to the grand prix arena to race the clock around Olaf Petersen Jr.'s 1.45m course consisting of 14 jumping efforts including two double combinations.
Faults were spread around the course as riders pushed the pedal to the metal, but many of the fantastic horses went clear and lightning fast as the crowd cheered them on. In the end, the "master of faster" Richard Spooner lived up to his name, piloting Arthos R to the win.
"Arthos R has been a spectacular addition to the team," said Spooner of the 13-year-old bay KWPN gelding. "He's like riding an equitation horse. He's one of the easiest horses I've ever had the opportunity to ride. That's key in an indoor ring in a speed class like this to have a horse that's rideable because you can make those inside turns and you don't have any concern over the outcome. He was just really good tonight."
Coming in just half a second over Spooner's time was Karrie Rufer aboard Mai Tai, a bay 9-year-old-Westphalian gelding owned by Morning Star Sporthorses. And rounding out the podium in third place was Carly Anthony riding Clochard, a bay 10-year-old stallion owned by Stephex Stables.

How would you describe your teaching style?
Traditional but friendly. I explain an discuss topics with students and get them to read it as well. I then let them answer questions and solve problems. I encourage them to answer as many questions as they can. To encourage thinking and independence, I might not simply give the answer but rather give a clue or even tell them to think harder!
What qualifications do you have?
I'm a qualified teacher (QTS). I have a Masters Degree in engineering. I qualified in 2014 with a 4 year Masters degree in Material Science and Engineering from Queen Mary University of London, a Russel Group University.

Cool Stuff, I just did the Season 28 High Grand Finals to see some interesting stats.
Looking at the Scouts you notice some interesting stuff like how Bloodis went 71-42, sheepy dog's hand went 79-58 while blade went 72-70 (yes 70 deaths) and phapha went 65-60.
While looking at the heal rates we notice blade with the most heals out of the scouts at 230 HPM (yet 70 deaths) while bloodis had 2nd most heals at 226 (42 deaths). On the other end we have Phapha with 175 heals and sheepy with 131 heals. Here is a good picture showing how your Net Kills Per Minute (NKPM) tells the story https://i.imgur.com/WbvfoeD.jpg, you can clearly see Bloodis with an outstanding impact at the very top.
Here it is with heals taken compared to NKPM https://i.imgur.com/EzWNLzX.jpg. You can see the blue line representing NKPM compared to the white line which compares it to heals taken. Basically the bigger the blue line, the better performance while the white line considers how much heals it took to get that blue line. Notice the difference between puffy vulva's (me) and Bloodis' blue and white lines compared blade and phapha's. I think this is a great system to really go deep into player performances in something like a high grand final 2 seasons ago.
I think it's safe to say based on these statistics, Bloodis was the best scout that night and played his part perfectly, Bloodis the shark was the best pocket scout in high in the end. Puffy vulva (dog's hand) played his role of low heals/high impact very well as an experienced scout. This is of course only from the scouts POV and the rest of team Loli Squad played fantastic as well.
I'm glad these stats exist so I can continue to annoy the TF2 frenchies and olgha in particular. Thanks.
I would love to try it out, but it's not actually logging me in. So… :/

I've always had a passion for the Arts and Crafts movement, that distinctly 19th Century style epitomised by rustic houses filled with exquisite hand-crafted furnishings and arty interiors.
The Arts and Crafts style is a million miles away from today's minimalist house designs. It echoes back to an earlier time before grimy cities, mass industrial production and 'urban ugliness' took hold.
For years I've wanted to visit The Red House, one of the beacons of the Arts and Crafts movement, an oasis of peace and tranquility on the outskirts of London.
In its day it was dubbed "more a poem than a house". The Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones called it "the beautifullest place on earth" when he set eyes on it in 1860.
The Red House is without doubt a gem set in the middle of drab suburban Bexleyheath, a short train ride from Charing Cross and London's bustling city streets.
When you travel to Bexleyheath station, you still have to walk 1/2 mile through monotonous suburban sprawl to reach this oasis in a sea of modern mediocrity.
'Palace of art'
Once upon a time the Red House would have been surrounded by countryside but today it's hard to imagine this scene as suburbia has crept right up to its gates.
In the 1860s farms and meadows would have encircled the house; a sole thatched cottage nearby is the only remnant of that rural landscape.
Today, if you close your ears and eyes to the suburban surroundings, you can almost find yourself back in the Victorian era for a few minutes, before the sound of throbbing traffic disturbs the tranquility.
There's no doubt that this beautiful red brick house is a treat…. it's also perhaps the best example of domestic architecture anywhere in England.
Designed by the architect Philip Webb, the house was a rural retreat for Pre-Raphaelite artist, designer and socialist William Morris and his wife, Jane.
William Morris was the founder of the Arts & Crafts movement, a poet, social reformer, painter and designer.
He wanted to create a "palace of art" in the Red House, a place of sublime beauty.
During its heyday poets and painters would come to be entertained at the house including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Burne-Jones and Algernon Swinburne.
As well as socialising and partying, the artists would help to decorate the house's interior with their designs.
The end result was the stunning stained glass windows, decorative features and distinctive interiors which can still be seen today.
It's easy to forget that the Red House was a huge revolution in design compared to the over-cluttered, fussy style that was prevalent in the Victorian period.
The entrance hall boasts gorgeous stained glass windows through which the summer light filters and radiates across the reception area.
Designed by Edward Burne-Jones, the windows hark back to medieval times when craftsmen produced hand-crafted work in the finest materials.
Home of an artist
The Morris family lived in the Red House during the 1860s and you can get a sense of their lifestyle from the downstairs rooms including the dining area (pictured below).
Sadly many of the rooms seem to be blocked off or are the subject of conservation work, making it difficult to gain an overall impression of how the Morris house looked and functioned in its prime.
Some room and decorative panels are currently being restored and it's interesting to watch the experts working hard to remove the effects of the ravages of time.
The hand of the Morris' artistic circle can be seen everywhere, from the wall and ceiling decorations to the fireplaces, wall tiles and the furniture.
But it's the stained glass windows that give the house a special spiritual feel – like a domestic temple to the arts.
The windows' rich colours and crafted panels glow as brightly as they must have done 150 years ago.
William and Jane Morris lived in the house for only five years, during which time their two daughters, Jenny and May, were born.
But they were forced to sell the house for financial reasons in 1865, a sad ending to their dream of a perfect house of the arts.
In later years the Red House was home to Charles Holme, who founded the art magazine, The Studio, before being sold to the architect, Edward Maufe.
The final owners included Ted and Doris Hollamby who restored the house and many of the original arts and crafts decorations.
Discovering William Morris
The Red House is without doubt a fascinating building but sadly I didn't get much of a sense of its owner, William Morris, on my recent visit
I lef the house feeling slightly deflated, perhaps because its presentation leaves something to be desired.
After battling across London and having had a torrid time on public transport to reach the Red House, I was hoping for more illumination about the Morris family and their artistic circle.
This may seem unfair but I feel that the National Trust needs to improve its interpretation and displays. Even a short film show would help to provide some background and context to the story of the house and the Morris family.
A room showing architectural drawings wasn't particularly engaging and contributed little to enlivening the visit.
Some hastily slung books of Morris' decorative designs really needed better presentation, even though the patterns were really beautiful.
One of the touchstones of visiting a famous house is that you leave knowing more about the owners than before you visited.
I left the Red House feeling that I still barely knew William Morris – that we were like passing shadows rather than new acquaintances.
The same was true of the architect Philip Webb, the mastermind behind the design of the great house. The portable information boards chronicling the house design were dull with dry lists of the objects in each room.
I'd recommend taking the full guided trip around the house which provided a better insight according to a fellow visitor I got talking to.
The Red House is, in many ways, best discovered from outside… its gables and rustic style are reminiscent of the perfect English village in the Cotswolds or Chilterns.
Once outside, you can step back and discover the house's features and exquisite detailing including the charming pagoda-like seating area with its curvy roof, which is the focal point of the garden.
William Morris wanted the gardens to be an extension of his beautiful house, for the two to fuse together with nature.
It's one of the great pleasures of a visit to the Red House on a glorious summer day to walk back in time amongst the apple, pear and cherry trees in bloom.
The peaceful garden is a wonderful oasis from London and Kent outside its walls with its leafy trails, orchard and vegetable garden.
Having forgotten about my slightly fraught journey from London to Bexleyheath, finally I felt like I was far from the madding crowd in the perfect English garden.
The Red House feels intimate, personal and not 'too grand'. It's not a mansion with dozens of rooms and gardens that extend for mile upon mile nor is it a place with aristocratic airs and graces.
William Morris and Philip Webb created an artistic escape, a livable home which still feels small-scale and gorgeous.
The Morris family almost feel within touching distance of the visitor. Perhaps on my next trip I'll get to know them even better?
Tammy's top tips
The Red House, run by the National Trust is located in Upton, Bexleyheath south east of London.
The house has slightly odd opening times so check before heading out from London. The house is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays in summer and has very limited opening hours in winter.
A self-guided trip around the Red House takes around 45 minutes. The house and grounds are not especially large so speed up your visit if you're on a tight schedule.
The nearest station is Bexleyheath, an easy 12 minute walk from the Red House.
Trains run from London's Charing Cross and Waterloo East stations every 30 minutes and take around 35 minutes to reach Bexleyheath.
Be aware that Waterloo East Station is down the road from Waterloo station. Don't go to Waterloo by mistake.
There's a taxi office next door to the railway station if you can't face the walk from the station to the house.
Summer is a great time to visit the Red House when the ambience of the house comes alive with bright sunshine streaming through its stained glass windows. It's also the time when its beautiful gardens are in full bloom.
Tours of the house are self-guided in the afternoon but visitors can opt for a guided trip during the late morning.
Check out the Friends of the Red House website for more information about the history of the building.
Visitor facilities at the Red House include a stables cafe and a small shop.
If you're a fan of Arts and Crafts, another 'must see' attraction is the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow in inner London which recently won an award for its interpretation work.
If you're a fan, many of William Morris and Philip Webb's furniture designs can also be found in London's Victoria and Albert Museum.

City of Glasgow College students praised at John Mather Awards
- Winners revealed for John Mather Trust Enterprise Competition
- Start up funding competition at City of Glasgow College
See featured article at the Evening Times about the John Mather Trust competition hosted at City of Glasgow College which offered a share of £16k to students interested in starting their own business!
Below you can see the original article or you can follow this link to read through at the Evening Times website.
SEVERAL students from City of Glasgow College have been recognised for their entrepreneurship at the John Mather Trust Enterprise Awards.A total of 14 prizes were given out at the ceremony, with nine winners receiving payment by bank transfer the same day.The students, all of whom pitched their own unique business ideas in return for financial and business support from the charitable trust, received certificates and funding at a ceremony held at the super college's City Campus.
The amount awarded to individual students was as much as £900, with the super college team receiving a total of £16,000 in prize money.
Also in attendance at the ceremony were members of the college's senior management, the lecturing staff who supported the event, and the judges who decided the awards.
The certificates were presented by depute principal and chief operating officer, Dr Sheila Lodge.
Tegan Marmon, 20, from Glasgow, who is studying HND Marketing and whose business, Dyno Valeting, won an award at the ceremony, said: "It's great to have such positive support for young people entering business, both from City of Glasgow College and from the John Mather Trust.
"It's really hard to set up your own business and without the support I received, I'm not sure that I'd have been able to do it.
"I'm so grateful to everyone involved in these awards for all their help and I'm looking forward to using it to make my business grow."
Commenting, James Wilson, curriculum head of the Industry Academy, said: "Our ceremony marks the conclusion of another exciting enterprise competition at the college.
"We are very proud to have 14 winners in this highly competitive contest - each of whom has the ability to take their business ideas out into the world and make a success of it.
"We wish them all the very best of luck."
Addressing the audience, Joanna Campbell, vice principal student experience, said: "I'm in awe of the level of inspiration and entrepreneurship our students have shown in this competition.
"Many of our winners have received life-changing sums of money that will help them achieve their business goals and turn that inspiration into reality."

Cody got his HoH camera, and has the usual hour to use it. He comes outside, laughing about how there are only a handful of people awake to pose for pictures. He took selfies with some of the sleeping house guests, he says.
Cody: Nicole, what are you doing up?
Nicole: I had to get up for the DR. I took my stuff and got ready in there...
Cody took a picture of Donny on the elliptical trainer, and then one of Jocosta and Nicole. Earlier, Nicole told Donny that Production finally gave her a spare German-tard, but she wants to keep the new one for Thursday's live show.
Donny: Well, the one you're wearin' looks clean.
Nicole: No, I already spilled crap on this one today.
Derrick got up to participate in the HoH pictures, but Brittany saw him and dragged him into the Hive to talk to him about the votes. She already dragged Victoria in there earlier today, and then Victoria went into the Fire Room where Derrick was sleeping and whispered to him exactly what Brittany said. (Derrick has cultivated Victoria very well....)
Derrick: Well, I'll try and find out what I can, but nobody's going to tell me anything, because they know we are working together...or that we're friends.
Brittany: But you talk to everybody, Derrick.
Derrick: Yeah, but it's different with you...everybody sees that.
Derrick said he'd try to talk to Cody to see what is going on, but doesn't expect to get much good information. (ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Derrick finally got out of there alive and enjoyed taking some selfies with Cody. Derrick actually ran around the house last night looking for a different color beanie to wear today. I think he borrowed this one from Hayden. He said he needed to wear different color beanies in the DR so he wouldn't "look like a fool".
Derrick took this one with Nicole, calling it "First Date".
Christine does not like to be in the HoH pictures, and when she walked through the kitchen Cody and Nicole chased her like paparazzi, shouting her name while she ran. It was really funny.
Jocosta came over for a selfie with Cody, and Cody laughed when he saw the picture with Brittany in the background.
How long is Brittany going to leave the hair down today?

All our consultations and treatments are performed by experienced, qualified nurses with over fifteen years experience specialising in laser hair removal. Consultations and patch testing are completely free of charge.
We are very proud to be using the latest technology, the Lumenis Desire laser, known as the 'Gold Standard' within the industry.

At Complete Lasercare, we have many word of mouth referrals for family and friends of existing clients. We provide a professional, but friendly atmosphere in which to have laser hair removal. Our clients have told us how much they value being able to see the same nurse for every appointment throughout their course of treatment. This means we get to know you and you can feel comfortable not having to explain what you wish to achieve at every appointment. We would invite you to take a look at our customer reviews page on our website to see for yourself what our clients really think about us. Here are the last two reviews;
So far I have had five treatments on my back, which was extremely hairy to start with. The hair has been reduced greatly and what remains is sparser and finer. I am hoping after a few more treatments, my back will be virtually clear of hair. I would recommend this clinic as it is professional, friendly and good value for money. Luke
I was very nervous about having laser hair removal on my face and it took me several months to pluck up the courage to start. I initially had my underarms treated to make sure the laser worked for me. I have had remarkable results with five treatments on the underarms and have now had three treatments on my top lip and chin area. The hair on my face has already become finer and reduced by around 50%. I think I will only need a few more sessions to get rid of the remaining hair. Sophie
We are also contactable via email through our contact us page on the website for appointment bookings and advice seven days a week. We offer late evening and weekend appointments to help those who find it difficult to come in during their work day. We are conveniently located in London's prestigious Harley Street, renowned for its excellence in medical care, just a few minutes walk from both Oxford Circus and Bond St underground stations.
This article was written by Jane Keena of Complete LaserCare.
Jane qualified as a registered nurse in 1986 at Queen Alexandra Hospital Portsmouth and worked as a senior nurse in the NHS until 2001.
She left to pursue a career in laser hair removal, initially working for Boots the Chemist where she was appointed laser protection supervisor and gained a BTEC award in Laser and Intense Light Hair removal in March 2001.

Girls are Precious in China
In a country where baby girls have traditionally been considered worthless, the government of China has found it necessary to pay couples to bear and keep their baby daughters.
The growing ratio between males and females has Chinese officials worried. Today some l 17 boys are born for every 100 girls (globally the ratio is 105 boys for 100 girls). This skewed ratio will cause a considerable shortage of Chinese women by 2020.
Incentives include offering parents of daughters a monthly income in their old age, free schooling and housing grants and better employment opportunities for parents in some areas. China's one-child family policy has caused many sex-selection abortions (regulations for which the government says it will now tighten) and abandonment of newborn daughters.
PRI's Steven Mosher has consistently noted that "China's notorious one-child policy has been a death sentence for a whole generation of girls. Since the beginning of the one-child policy in 1981, well over a hundred million baby girls in China have died by abortion, infanticide, abandonment, and neglect."
In some areas, the schools are already filled with boys while the orphanages are filled with girls. A "bachelor society" is emerging as men have problems finding wives. Social tension, wife-selling, baby-trafficking, kidnapping and prostitution, already problems, are expected to rise in the future as a result of the shortage of females.
(Jonathan Watts, "China offers parents cash incentives to produce more girls," The Guardian, 16 July 2004; Steven Ertelt, "China Offers Families Money to Have Girls Babies instead of Abortions," LifeNews.com, 12 August 2004, www.lifenews.com/nat720.html)
Iran Votes to Allow Abortion
Iran recently approved a draft bill to legalize abortion of "deformed" babies or for the health of the mother. Because Islam teaches a baby does not receive a soul until 17 weeks, the local religious leadership is not opposing the hill.
But not all agree. Mohammad Taqi Mohassel, a cleric, states, "The bill tells the world that Iran's parliament has permitted abortion. That's why I oppose it."
The Guardian Council, consisting of 12 members, must approve the bill before it can become law.
("Iran Legalizes Abortion," LifeSite Daily News, 20 July 2004, www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/jul/040720.html)
Implanon in Scotland
The contraceptive implant Implanon has become a popular way for doctors to sterilize young girls in Scotland in an effort to reduce the number of teen pregnancies. As many as 400 girls, some as young as 14, have been sterilized without their parents' knowledge.
Implanon works by releasing progesterone into the blood stream for a period of about three years, much like the abortifacient Norplant. The long-term effects are unknown
("Scottish doctors sterilize up to 400 teen girls," Catholic World News Site, 4 May 2004, www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=29342)
Debate in Nicaragua
UNICEF official, Gary Stahl, Aid calling for the legalization of abortion in Nicaragua claiming it is needed to defend young girls who don't want to become mothers. During government debates to reform abortion laws, Stahl maintained that "issues such as those related to the rights of children and the effects of sexual abuse are not being taken into account" in Nicaragua's present abortion laws.
("UNICEF leaves unborn out of abortion debate in Nicaragua," CatholicNewsAgency.com, 13 July 2004, www.catholicnewsagency.com/showarchive.php?date=2004-07-13)
Steven Mosher Says No to Pill Prescription
Steven Mosher, the owner of a pharmacy in Texas (not the president of PRI) refused to fill a prescription for birth control pills on the grounds that the pills work as an abortifacient causing early abortion.
While Texas law does not explicitly permit pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions because of religious beliefs or conscience, neither does it allow for disciplining a pharmacist who will not till a prescription on moral grounds.
Mosher admits that his decision not to dispense abortifacients has cost him a lot of business, but states that he intends to stand by his beliefs.

"Joy is the secret gift of compassion. We keep forgetting it and thoughtlessly look elsewhere. But each time we return to where there is pain, we get a new glimpse of the joy that is not of this world."

Ups and Downs
The mobile soup kitchen feeding run last Thursday night was exhilarating and depressing, both in the extreme. It was very cold, and several people at the first and second stops (beside bridges on Industrial Boulevard) lacked even the basics for staying warm.
We had two new volunteers from Centex Corporation; they were wonderful and seemed to be very moved by the experience. When we finished the run, both said they'd never done anything quite like it, even though one of them had previously volunteered in a homeless shelter. They plan to get more involved.
At our first stop, I got off the truck to talk to people — mostly day laborers, the working homeless: one man's a former university professor. There several people didn't have any socks, hats, or gloves. A couple of us gave away our stocking caps, but we didn't have any spare socks.
At the next stop, a young man, who had only been on the street for twenty-four hours, told me he was just so cold he could barely think: he was wearing a thin shirt and a light denim jacket. We had some donated clothes to distribute, but nothing warm, so I gave him my fleece pullover. It's hard for people to think of the next step in getting their lives together when all their attention's focused on the cold.
At the third stop, there was Robin, who's about six months pregnant. I'm going to bring her some prenatal vitamins next week, but, hopefully, by the time the baby comes, she'll be off the street.
One piece of good news is that Daniel, a homeless man who often rides the truck with us and helps us serve, is now employed. He went to work for one of the volunteers who owns a roofing company. Although we miss him on the truck — he's a great organizational force as well as being very funny and brilliantly political — it is great news that he has a job.
It's hard to imagine the level of need that's out there in our own backyards, so to speak, especially in the cold. The people we feed are so grateful, so loving, and the mix is surprising — many who've been out there a long time and some who could be your next-door neighbor. As another volunteer said to me recently, "You can clearly see that many of these people are just one step away from being able to put together a normal life."
When I awoke Friday morning after the Thursday night run, it was with an extreme awareness of my blessings, large and small. Although I generally try to stop and smell the roses, that morning I felt intensely the joy of having a beautiful white lace curtain across my French doors which I could tie back with a piece of gold Christmas cord. The simple act of putting a pan of water on the stove for a cup of tea was a cause of great pleasure, so fortunate did I feel for having cup, pan, tea, water, stove, kitchen and home. The blessings of this work are very great, the disappointments notwithstanding. I only wish all my peeps out there on the street had their own dwellings to cherish as much as I cherish mine.

This is coolbert:
Do not consider this to be a test!
IDF = Israeli Defense Forces.
From the Russian Internet media outlet Russian Times [RT]:
"IDF uses Gaza as a lab and showroom for new weapons and tech it plans to sell – report"
"Human rights campaigners claim that the Israeli army and defense corporations exploit the deadly Gaza protests to test and advertise hardware like drones, sniper rifles and 'smart' fences."
A listing [probably not confined to] of Israeli weapons systems tested in recent military operations to include:
From 2014: [Operation Protective Edge]
* Hermes 900 Kochav drones.
* Next-generation Hatzav tank shells.
* MPR500 'smart bombs'.
From 2018: [suppression of the Gaza Angels demonstrations]
* Matrice 600. [tear gas drone]
* Phantom 3. [tear gas drone]
* "Shoko Drones".
"Shoko" able to deliver [a] "foul-smelling and very sticky liquid". Phantom 3 apparently a commercially available DJI Chinese product.
* Remington M24 rifle. [and ammunition for same]
* IWI Tavor rifle. [and ammunition for same]
* Gaza border fence. [Magal Security Systems]
Fence understand as not merely fencing. A complete high-technology barrier system total and complete.

The former Southend youth mayor has organised a musical event, in a bid to revitalise the borough's youth music scene.
After making it his mission during his term as youth mayor to switch up music in Southend, Nathaniel Whitehouse created Music Mayhem, to allow young bands and musicians to showcase their natural talent.
The event, will take place at Twenty One, which is based opposite Southend pier on November 24.
It will run from 1pm and 6pm, with doors opening at 12.30pm, in support of HARP, Southend's homeless charity.
Coming from a musical background himself, former Youth Mayor, Nathaniel Whitehouse, said: "A platform such as this is an excellent opportunity for up and coming musicians to get a good start in their music careers."
Eugene Vlas, the current youth mayor, said: "I am looking forward to the event and on behalf of the other youth councillors, I am sure they are too."
You can find out more information by visiting the Youth Council Twitter page - @SoSYouthCouncil
