Voidpoint, the developers behind Ion Fury, apologized after it was revealed the team made sexist and transphobic statements in their developer Discord channel. The team also added homophobic language into Ion Fury itself. In a pair of statements from Voidpoint and publisher 3D Realms, the two companies said it will patch out the offensive language from the game, and Voidpoint promised to pledge $10,000 to the LGBT non-profit, The Trevor Project.
Over the weekend a Resetera forum thread published screen captures from the Voidpoint Discord channel that showed the Ion Fury developers make disparaging statements towards the LGBT community, specifically at the trans community.
In one screencap, Ion Fury lead developer Terminx writes, "Yeah if you're trying to decide your child is trans at birth you have mental problems and probably shouldn't be a parent [in my opinion]." In another screencap a different Ion Fury developer, Daedolon, asks, "[B]ut mutilating a perfectly healthy body WHILE you have depression and other big mental issues won't [cause suicides]?"
IGN reached out to Voidpoint and Ion Fury publisher 3D Realms regarding the validity of these Discord chat conversations, and Voidpoint responded this to be the case in a statement. Voidpoint also admitted to adding homophobic language into the game itself.
"Members of Voidpoint's Ion Fury team have made sexist and transphobic comments, and included homophobic language in Ion Fury," writes Voidpoint.
In a full statement, the developers apologized for their comments, and pledged to donate $10,000 from Ion Fury's release day proceeds to The Trevor Project. Here's Voidpoint's full statement below:
"We recognize these statements are insensitive, unacceptable, and counterproductive to causes of equality. We unequivocally apologize both for these comments and language as well as for any pain they have caused the gaming community, particularly women and members of the LGBTQ community. We take full responsibility for any damage that has been done to the relationships we've worked so hard to build. Moving forward, Voidpoint will institute a zero-tolerance policy for this type of language and all employees and contractors will undergo mandatory sensitivity training. As part of our efforts to contribute to the work that must be done to further support these communities, we are donating $10,000 from Ion Fury's release day proceeds to The Trevor Project. We are also patching Ion Fury ASAP to remove all unacceptable language."Ion Fury publisher 3D Realms also issued a statement, saying that in the future 3D Realms will sever relationships with any developer that breaks the company's zero-tolerance policy for hate speech.
"It has come to our attention Voidpoint, the developers of Ion Fury, have been accused of making transphobic and misogynistic statements, and included homophobic language in the game which was not approved by us.
Under current leadership, 3D Realms has taken pride empowering marginalized groups, as evident by our strong female protagonist Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison and the makeup of our team.
Moving forward all of 3D Realms' contracts will include terms which would allow us to sever relationships if a contractor does not abide by our zero-tolerance policy for hate speech, and Ion Fury will be patched ASAP to remove all unacceptable language."Ion Fury was released on August 15, 2019 for PC and utilizes the EDuke32 engine. It is a fork of the Build engine which was used to develop classic 90s FPS games like Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, and Blood. Ion Fury was previously titled, Ion Maiden before the music band Iron Maiden threatened to sue over IP infringement.

Here's an interesting fact for everyone living in our South Austin apartments for rent. Did you know the App Store is less than 10 years old? 10 years ago, you couldn't even download an app. Now, you have access to hundreds of thousands of apps at all times. Even when the App Store first launched, it was mostly filled with games and simple tools for your phone like a flashlight or a metronome. Now, the store is filled with apps that can summon real people to your door with bags of food, or hire someone to walk your dog, or tell a complete stranger to pick you up from your South Austin apartment.
As people have gotten busier, app developers have gotten better at anticipating the services that busy people need. Busy people don't want to run errands, or cook, or clean. Now, busy people (who have expendable income) don't have to do any of those things!
There are dozens of apps out there that will let busy people trade money for time. That is to say, these apps let busy people pay other people to do things that they could easily do themselves if they were willing to take the time out of their day. When busy people are unwilling to take the time to run errands, pick up food, or take their dogs for walks, they can just pay someone else to do those things.
If you're one of those busy people —and honestly, who isn't these days—you might benefit from one of the following apps. All of these apps have people on-hand in Austin, ready to come help you out for a nominal fee. They say time is money, and that's never more true than when you decide to use one of these apps.
Whatever you need, TaskRabbit has someone who's willing to do it. Be it simple home repairs or moving help or even standing in line, TaskRabbit will send someone to do what needs to be done.
Here's how it works: First, you choose from a drop down list of services and describe the task that you need completed. TaskRabbit will then send you a list of qualified people who are willing to help you out in exchange for a few bucks. You'll also be able to see their hourly rates. Once you pick your person, they'll come to you and do whatever you need them to do.
These people then get paid automatically through the app once the task is complete.
TaskRabbit performs full background checks on everyone who applies to be a "tasker," so you can have total peace of mind when using their services.
Handy is like TaskRabbit, but only for home cleaning services. Instead of calling a cleaning service, you can just download Handy and schedule your next apartment cleaning without actually having to talk to anybody. Everything is handled through the app, so you get to experience nothing but a tidy apartment cleaned by professionals.
No matter how much society improves, the post office never seems to improve right along with it. The people who made Shyp know that, so they created an app that can take care of your shipping needs for you.
Within the app, you can figure out which shipping company will give you the best rates and tell someone to come pick up your package from your home or office. Now, you don't even have to step inside the post office. Shyp will then give you a tracking number so you can monitor the progress your package is making. Shipping things gets a whole lot more pleasant when you don't have to make a trip to the post office.
Thanks for reading The Brodie Blog! Check this page in a couple weeks to see the next edition. While you wait, give us a follow on social media. That's the best way to stay up to date with your favorite community of South Austin apartments. See you in a few weeks!

Back in 2011 at an SPE thermoforming conference, I was asked to sit on a panel with Bob Cotton of PepsiCo Frito-Lay; Ben Locke of SPI's Bioplastics Council; Don Loepp, Editor of Plastics News; and Salvatore Monte, a polymer materials engineer and President of Kenrich Petrochemicals.
Prior to the panel discussion, we heard presentations from Dave McIntosh, who at that time was the Senior Process and Materials Engineer for Fabri-Kal (he left in 2014 and today is a consultant), and polymers science professor Ramani Narayan of Michigan State University. The topic was greenwashing and the damage it does not only to the industry but to consumers and the true science of plastics.
One of McIntosh's presentation slides showed a Dilbert cartoon:
Dilbert to his pointy-haired boss: "We replaced our Styrofoam cups with paper cups, but it's not so clear that it helps the planet."
Boss: "We didn't do it to help the planet. We did it to look like the sort of company that cares about that sort of thing."
Dilbert: "Oh, in that case it's working great."
Boss: "As soon as you stop whining."
Fabri-Kal is a company known for its "no greenwashing" pledge that appears on its homepage. The company has stood by this commitment ever since I've been acquainted with them and McIntosh's presentation back in 2011. Obviously, the problems surrounding greenwashing have been prevalent since bioplastic materials came into the picture. These problems persist to an even greater degree with the increased promotion of degradability and compostability.
Compostability is perhaps one of the most misleading terms connected to plastics. Even Fabri-Kal includes a caveat with its compostable cups, noting that they are only compostable in a commercial composting facility, which may not be available in all areas of the country. Or, as I've found out through extensive research and phone calls to composting facilities across the United States, most will not take any type of so-called compostable plastic because the materials do not sufficiently break down fast enough to be economically viable and acceptable to consumers.
I'd venture to say that most plastics converters who make cups, food containers and other plastic packaging items run into the same problem that Clearly Clean bumps up against in dealing with customer demand for "green" plastic materials—they drank the Kool-Aid that says only biodegradable and compostable materials are truly green.
Even recyclable products have a problem, in that, while something may be recyclable, there's no guarantee that it will be recycled. For that to happen, human beings have to put the recyclable product into the proper collection bin. Even then, if the item is dirty or contains other negative properties that make it unfit for recycling, it will end up in the landfill.
In off-the-record conversations on this topic with many company representatives over the past two decades, I've come to realize that most companies are concerned first and foremost about the image they project in terms of caring about the planet. To promote that image, they will put on a "green" face for consumers, even if they truly know that the science is being exploited to doubtful results.
Being green has its costs. Greenwashing has even higher costs, which is why the industry has tried for years to combat the issue with scientific facts. Is it really being honest to say that your plastic food containers are compostable when you know that collection of compostable plastics is non-existent and that finding a commercial composting facility that will take these bioplastics is nearly impossible? Perhaps so, if you narrow down the meaning of "honest" without the caveats.
It's good to see a company like Fabri-Kal that is actually committed to "no greenwashing" promoting its products in a factual manner. Other companies should follow suit and educate their customers about the science of plastics to help them choose the most beneficial material for their products.

It is mandated by the State of Maine that each municipality employ an animal control officer (ACO) to investigate mistreated animals and control those that are deemed dangerous, abandoned or lost. For smaller communities, an ACO is often employed by more than one town.
This is the case for Jessica Jackson, the Animal Control Officer who provides the required state services for the towns of Raymond, Casco and Naples.
Jackson has been the area's ACO since 2011. She has performed her job and responded to calls, concerns and complaints by using her own vehicle in the 125 square miles that comprise the three communities. Until recently, that is.
Through the collaborative efforts of the three towns, a 2014 Ford Explorer Interceptor was purchased from Maine State Surplus Property. "This newly acquired used vehicle was previously utilized by the Maine State Police and came with extensive interior improvements to safely transport a police dog already installed," explained Don Willard, Raymond Town Manager. "The vehicle has two separate climate-controlled cage areas, a second and third row aluminum interior liner and features a remotely actuated electric-hydraulic rear passenger side entry door. We [the three towns] were able to pool our resources together to purchase this vehicle all equipped, at the reasonable cost of $3,000 per town."
Once the Ford Explorer made its way to the Lakes Region, it received a new look with graphic lettering on the side doors and rear hatch establishing it as an Animal Control vehicle representing the Towns of Casco, Naples and Raymond.
Jackson states that the new vehicle delivers not only a safety factor but imparts a distinct visibility as to what she is doing in the area and why she is present. "With the marked vehicle, I am more visible to the community and it acts as a deterrent for the mistreatment of animals," she said. "It also offers more security for me as an officer because people can clearly identify me. From a safety standpoint, people know the purpose of my being in the location. People are now approaching me because they know who I am and who I represent. This was not the case when I was driving my own personal vehicle."
Jackson is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and the company supplied vehicle adds a little relief for the demanding travel of the job. "It was a natural progression from Jessica using her own vehicle to one that is provided for her," Willard said. "All three towns appreciate Jessica's expertise and dedication and we want to make the job more accommodating for her in terms of travel and safety. We are examining ways to establish a more reasonable schedule, as well."
Jackson encourages people to contact her with any concerns regarding domesticated animals. "I want people to feel comfortable asking me questions and sharing anything that may concern them regarding domestic animals," she stated. "I'd rather have a concern go unfounded than unreported. Also, I prefer to be proactive rather than reactive. Most often, with a little communication and education, many issues can be resolved if you catch them in the early stages."
Jackson, who is also a licensed wildlife rehabilitator specializing in wildlife predators, urges everyone to keep a watchful eye on their animals, report them missing promptly, and attach ID tags along with registration tags. If they do go missing, please report it promptly.
To report missing, abused or abandoned animals, Jackson can be contacted by calling the Cumberland County Dispatch Center at 800-501-1111.

Pinfest 2016 : Allentown Pennsylvania Friday May 6th Highlights
Another year of Pinfest in Allentown and I had a blast. Met up with so many people and had little time on the machines. Most of my pinball friends attended and I got to chat with many of the vendors selling merchandise. Many of the vendors have become close friends of mine after being in the hobby and posting information to my social media outlets. I also had a chance to meet up with some people who I have met on occasion or never at all such as Nick from Buffalo Pinball and Taylor from This Flippin Podcast. Most of the machines I played were in working order and played well. Thanks again to all the people who brought machines to the show for everyone to play.
Also at the show the vendors consisted of :
PinGraffix, Tilt Graphics, CoinTaker, Laseriffic, Marco Specialties, Pinball Refinery, Pinball Star, Night Hawk Games, Lights Out Pinball, Flipper Fidelity, Pinnovators, Classic Arcades, Star Ship Fantasy, and many others.
Pingraffix and Tilt Graphics had their usual great side blades and mirror blades on display for customers to purchase. Laseriffic had his usual fantastic toppers on display which I own many of. Cointaker showed off all of their LED's and other mods being sold by various vendors in the industry . They also brought a Big Lebowski, Heighway Pinball's Full Throttle to the show with updated code for everyone to play. Don Kraper (Burning Man) brought his fully restored Dutch Pinball Bride of Pinbot 2.0 to the show which looked beautiful. Congrats to Don for winning the best DMD of the show award. Marco Specialties had parts and mods for pinball machines. Marco also brought a bunch of fantastic pinball machines to play such as Ghost Busters, Spiderman VE, and Game of Thrones. Pinball Star brought four Hobbits, a Rob Zombie Spook Show International, and a couple of The Wizard of Oz pinball machines for all the guests of the show to play throughout the day. Pinball Refinery displayed a beautiful Ghost Busters Pro with white side rails, coin door, and lock down bar. The game also had game blades provided by Tilt Graphics, lit speaker grills, under cab lighting, spinner LED's, and many more additions to the game.
At the show, many EM's were on display for everyone to play and also various solid state machines were in abundance. My highlight of the day was playing Ghost Busters. I really like the game play, music and sounds, and also the animations on the DMD. I cannot wait to see what the updated code brings to the game in the upcoming months. It was also great to have four Ghost Buster machines at the show causing the lines for game play to be minimally small.
Thanks to Ivan, his staff, and also everyone who brought machines from their personal collection to the show. I had a fantastic time and looking forward to next year.

(H/T: Drudge)
Art Buchwald is, according to this report, refusing kidney dialysis. He chooses instead to face death on his own terms, having no idea what awaits him. He feels this is a natural way to go, and continues joking with friends and colleagues. He feels, truth be told, no different even after a month without the procedure that's supposed to save his life.
This is vintage Buchwald.
I suppose that, in at least one way, it's ironic that Buchwald has always been one of my favorite columnists. I first became acquainted with his prolific wit in the closing days of the Nixon administration, where Tricky Dicky was one of Buchwald's favorite dart boards. Since I didn't realize just how conservative I truly was until well into adulthood, I had no idea that I was supposed to disagree with his Kennedy-esque perspectives. I just enjoyed the well-sharpened barbs he threw into the politicians, public figures, and hypocrites that are rife in today's world.
Art Buchwald is, let's face it, one of the reasons why I first began to write for a hobby. He, along with Erma Bombeck and, later, Dave Barry, are also the primary reasons I choose to write humor. I have always appreciated their abilities to turn politics and societal anomalies into fodder for gut-busting laughter. I can only aspire to follow weakly in their footsteps.
So, if Art truly has one foot in the grave, God bless him. I can only pray that his slide into home plate is a smooth one.

Find cheap car insurance in the historic community of Elizabeth, New Jersey's fourth largest city. Located just south of Newark on Newark Bay, Elizabeth was originally named "Elizabethtown" when it was founded in 1664. Its oldest section is its downtown, or Elizabethport, called E-Port by locals. Midtown or Uptown is its main commercial district, home to its historic 1926 Ritz Theatre. As of 2016, Elizabeth had an estimated population of 124,969 within its mere 13.5 square miles. Elizabeth is the former home of writer Judy Blume, and part of the city can be seen in the opening credits of "The Sopranos." Elizabeth is among the U.S. cities with the highest train ridership.
Elizabeth is one of the New Jersey towns featuring a roundabout known as a "jug handle," an intersection at Routes 1 and 9 that requires you to go in a large circle in order to make a left turn. Though locals are familiar with jug handles, visitors are sometimes confused by them.
Driving in New Jersey is often described as aggressive and fast: Native drivers warn newcomers about the infamous "New Jersey slide," going quickly across two or more lanes, usually to make an exit in time. Interstate 95 runs the length of Elizabeth six miles north into Newark and south directly into Philadelphia, Penn., about 80 miles away. The city's streets are largely circular as opposed to the standard grid pattern. To access real-time traffic cameras and information, visit nj.gov/transportation/traffic/cameras.
Elizabeth in 2016 joined a growing number of cities requiring all private employers within the city to give employees paid sick time. The ordinance applies to all companies with 10 or more employees.
When you pull into a gas station anywhere in New Jersey, stay in the car. It is illegal to pump gas in New Jersey without a permit.
A "gas expert" will need to fuel your car for you. A 1928 law requires drivers to honk when passing other cars going the same direction, though it is seldom done today. Other antiquated laws state it is illegal to detain or delay a homing pigeon and also prohibited for an automobile to overtake a horse-drawn carriage.
Both violent and property crimes in Elizabeth are above national averages.
FBI statistics compiled for 2016 show 220 violent crimes in Elizabeth, eight of which were murder or manslaughter. The local violent crime rate of 816 offenses per 100,000 residents is far above the average U.S. violent crime rate of 386 per 100,000.
The property crime rate in Elizabeth was 3,202 per 100,000 residents, compared to the U.S. average of 2,451 property crimes per 100,000 residents.
Within the city, 868 vehicles were stolen in 2016, FBI data shows, a rate of 672 per 100,000 residents. This is nearly three times the national average of 236 incidents per 100,000 people.
A new and more stringent child car seat law went into effect in 2017 in New Jersey, requiring children under age 2 or under 30 pounds to ride in a rear-facing car seat with a five-point harness. Children up to age 8 or who weigh under 80 pounds must ride in an approved safety or booster seat located in the rear seat. The new law also raised fines for drivers with children in inappropriate seats or booster seats. State laws still do not specify when a child over 8 can move from the back seat to the front seat.
Drivers and all passengers must wear seat belts, according to the State of New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. Handheld drives are banned statewide while driving, and New Jersey in 2014 increased the fines for anyone caught talking and texting on a handheld device while behind the wheel.
New Jersey drivers with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or higher are charged with DUI. Charges are enhanced when the BAC is .10 or greater. First offenders face a $250 to $400 fine, up to 30 days in jail and installation of interlock devices and community service.
Regardless of your background, it's possible to find cheap car insurance in Elizabeth, contact us for rate comparisons.

We all want to be loved. It's hardwired, because being loved is the surest way to be fed, as a child, get sex as an adult, be promoted or helped as an adult.
Its purpose is survival.
The organism wants to survive, desperately.
We don't know what that love is, but we want it. And some of us want to earn it.
I just followed a link that introduced me to Chris Farley, a fat comedian, who died… because he could not live without that love. 1
So love is a tricky one, because millions loved and adored Chris Farley, but he didn't feel it. He kept on trying and trying and trying… and he kept on putting more and more heroin into his veins, until it was too much.
Some of us know that it has nothing to do with us, whether we are loved or not. Some of us know that there is no chance for love between humans… not even between a mother and a child. Unfortunately or fortunately, you keep on deluding yourself, you keep on pretending.
The capacity to come to terms with the human condition would be useful, but scarcely if any humans have that capacity turned on in their DNA. Instead they keep on pretending, keep on trying to earn love, or pretend to give love… hoping it is reciprocated.
The truth is, that on the level of consciousness, on the level of evolution humans are currently, love is impossible.
Love's vibration level, love's consciousness level is above 500, and at present only two people are there… the number changes daily, because people drop like dead flies…
I, myself, hoped to be loved till I was about 30, then I came to grips with the fact that it wasn't going to happen.
What clued me in is that I could feel the beingness and I could see the behavior in the same glance, and I could see that other than in movies or in books, love was always a pretense, an in order to.
In order to get something. Sex, food, shelter, companionship. Support. Money. Gifts.
In order to… a social move, a behavioral strategy to get something.
I have been watching season one of the TV show Dexter on Netflix.
Dexter lives a double life. During the day he works for the police department. At night he kills serial killers. He can't help it: he has to.
His adoptive father trained him from early childhood to channel his desire to kill in this direction: no emotional killings, no pleasure killings… only bringing justice killing, was the commandment.
Dexter knows he is empty inside, or alternatively he feels darkness inside.
He learned behavioral strategies to fit in so he can work, so he can have some companionship. He learned it well… he has a girl friend, he plays with kids, he smiles a lot.
But the beingness is not there.
If you take away the plot: he is a killer, he is like you. Covering up the emptiness, desperately want to belong to humanity.
With one exception, and that is a big one, he is just like you.
The exception: he has more capacities activated than you. He can be self-aware, he can be empathic, he can see where his actions are leading, so he can choose, he has the discipline to follow guidance, and the creativity to make it work in many circumstances.
He has rarely emotions: emotions that you equate with yourself… you have a lot of emotions, therefore you must be not empty.
Or thoughts: I have a lot of thoughts, therefore I must be not empty.
If you had his capacities (he has 12 capacities active in his DNA, about 5-7 more than other people around him, or you.) you would be able to watch your emotions and watch your thoughts and not be sucked in. You would be able to come to terms with the fact that you are empty… and you can choose what to do with your life.
Capacities, DNA capacities enable the consciousness levels of being, instead of behavioral strategies, i.e. pretense.
Being present, being self-aware, being aware of the dynamic of another person (empathy), etc. are all ways of being, that allow for seeing, without thinking.
Being disciplined is a being capacity, as opposed to trying to be disciplined, thinking it a good strategy, picking and choosing the time when to be disciplined… no beingness there.
You may be surprised, you may be upset, you may be appalled that I am comparing your to a psychopath, and the psychopath comes out on top.
Dexter is closer to human being than you are.
Why? He opened up his capacities as they became needed: to go from an out of control angry psychopath to a disciplined being who can channel the energy he can't stop, but can channel.
What is the lesson for you here?
He didn't go to some therapist, or to me… anticipating some need… he was in the thick of it, wanting to kill, wanting to rush, wanting to do things that would have him killed.
There is no capacity that will stay on if you got it because you are proactive. Unless there is an urgent and daily need for it: it will die off.
The people I mentioned in yesterday's article, who had issues in communication: it was a moment to moment need, and they needed the capacities in every conversation they had. The capacities stayed alive, alive and well.
I don't have enough data, but the question is: will the capacities die if the circumstances change, and there won't be any need for them?
I really don't know. The minuscule data I see says: yes.
One participant asked for a bunch of capacities to be activated, because the business he started while working for the corporate world needed them. He needed them. Desperately.
Over the holidays he changed his mind, and gave up on the business he started.
Except for two of the new capacities, all new capacities shut down. He isn't needing them for what he is doing.
Two of them, both communication capacities, stayed on. His new job needs them. Daily. Hourly. So they stayed on.
I have seen that if I advertised what I do as a solution to some problem, the people who apply for it have the problem.
For example: problem: you feel unacknowledged, unappreciated, your brilliance isn't recognized. You are pushing your ideas, your solutions, you force others to listen to you, you talk over others. But it all seems to buy you no appreciation.
Solution: a handful of new capacities.
Probing question: how often do you find yourself in this predicament?
Unless the answer is: all the time at work, or in all my conversations with my family members… my solution will not have a chance to solve your problem.
Why? Because you can take it or leave it… No desperation.
PS: I just read a philosophical article about Dexter and why we love him. It is good, although the writer is not an empath, and thus misjudges emotional content of the character and others, including himself. And yet, it's a good article. Read it if you can

text: I took 3 infusions of Remicade and then stopped. That was October 2005. I didn't take anything until I had a flare up in Jan 2006. I then took 6mp. I only took it for about a week and then the flare stopped so I stopped taking 6mp. I had another flare in March 2007 so I took 6mp for about a week and again the flare went away. I haven't taken anything since and have had no flares. I haven;t had any other problems related to stopping the drug. I know that the body may not respond as well to the drug if you stop taking it and start taking it later, but I do not want to be on drugs full time. So far so good.

Tribunal hears Haverstock School 'discriminated' against disabled Camden teaching assistant
PUBLISHED: 15:50 02 February 2016 | UPDATED: 10:45 08 February 2016
A former Camden school teaching assistant with multiple sclerosis (MS) claimed she faced discrimination in the workplace because of her disability, a tribunal heard.
Sarah Kelsey was sacked from Haverstock School, in Chalk Farm, last year for being frequently late or absent when she was supposed to be reading with under-performing pupils, the court heard today.
But Miss Kelsey, who worked at the school for nine years, told London Central Employment Tribunal in Holborn that her requests to have flexible starting times to accommodate her condition were ignored.
She claimed she was being harassed, and that her bosses would send her emails asking why she was late, when other late teaching assistants would not be questioned, judges heard.
Saying she felt "ostracized" in the year before she was fired, Miss Kelsey, of Upper Holloway, told the court: "I felt I didn't belong there. No-one was interested in what I was going through.
"It was just work-related matters and procedure."
But under questioning from Camden Council's lawyer, Suraj Sudra, she admitted it was reasonable for the school to ask for her whereabouts after being late or absent. However, she told the court the school "wasn't interested" in her explanation.
Agreeing with Mr Sudra that she was late or absent half the time she was supposed to be reading to pupils, the court heard she had asked line managers for a later starting time, and to just read with pupils in the afternoon instead.
But her working hours were not changed, the court heard.
A occupational health report advised Miss Kelsey's employers to give her a flexible starting time and access to a room where she could rest, judges were told.
But the court heard that the report was only issued days before Haverstock School dismissed her in June last year, having put her on garden leave on full pay 12 months before. An earlier report did not consider her to have a disability and that she was fit to carry out her work responsibilities, the tribunal heard.
Miss Kelsey blamed her lateness and absence on the steroids she was taking to treat her MS-related symptoms, which caused insomnia and "hot sweats," the court heard.
She was not diagnosed with MS until after she had been fired, she said. But the court heard that she was being treated at Hampstead's Royal Free Hospital for related symptoms, including the loss of sight in one eye.
Despite this, she told judges that her bosses had "no compassion", and when she did receive offers of help, it was only because the school wanted to complete tasks.
Miss Kelsey, who burst into tears at one point in the hearing when her condition was being discussed, said: "I felt I was at a disadvantage because of my illness. I couldn't see out of one eye, I couldn't sleep because of the steroids I was having.
"I didn't feel myself, and that continued throughout. I was frustrated. I had explained to everyone very clearly about what I felt like."
The tribunal continues.

This past Monday, Broadcom was willing to offer almost $121 billion in cash and stock to acquire Qualcomm. It didn't even take a week for the US chip company to decline Broadcom's offer. In a press release titled "Qualcomm board of directors unanimously rejects revised Broadcom proposal", the company does exactly that. That would seem to be the end of the story, given that Broadcom's most recent offer was its "best and final." It seems this tale isn't quite told yet, though—Qualcomm goes on to offer an in-person meeting with Broadcom's CEO Hock Tan to discuss the terms of a possible deal.
The aforementioned offer to meet with Broadcom's top brass comes in the form of a surprisingly frank public letter—signed by the chairman of Qualcomm's board of directors, Paul Jacobs—and says the purchase offer "raises more questions than it answers." Qualcomm notes that Broadcom's offer of $82 per share "materially undervalues" the company, which is much the same thing that Qualcomm said in response to Broadcom's initial offer.
As Jeff wrote late last year when Qualcomm initially rejected that proposal, the fused entity would be a monolithic presence with enormous influence over the telecommunications industry. Indeed, Qualcomm notes in its release today that the proposal "falls well short of firm regulatory commitment necessary given significant downside risk of a failed transaction." The release goes on to say that Broadcom's proposal is "inferior to [its] prospects as an independent company."
The letter goes on to request "clear, specific, and detailed answers" to a few questions, including the true highest price that Broadcom would be willing to pay, and whether Broadcom is prepared and willing to deal with the regulatory fallout the merger could incur. It will be interesting to see what Broadcom's response to the letter will be, and assuming the meeting takes place, what ends up being the final result.

Daily Thought For July 18, 2014
Jesus & The Gift of Friendship
Look upon Christ. You know well that He counts you among his close friends. We are the friends of the bridegroom, and he calls us to share his favor and his possessions. The words of the Book of Sirach about friendship — there is nothing so precious as a faithful friend — acquire their full meaning when applied to Christ: He showed his faithfulness by giving his life for each of us. Let us learn from him to be friends to our friends, and let us not cease to give them the best thing we have — our love for Jesus.
from In Conversation with God by Francis Fernandez Volume Four p. 548

The all-new Mercedes GLE has actually been spotted testing in a camouflage wrap. The spy shots reveal a revamped exterior, while the engines and interior are anticipated to be completely revised when it goes on sale either late in 2018 or early in 2019.
2019 Mercedes GLE Styling
The brand-new 2019 Mercedes GLE will look noticeably different to the existing car, which has just been somewhat restyled since the old ML-Class models. It'll utilize a whole new platform so will be longer and more useful than the outbound car.
The front end has brand-new, sharper-looking headlights and an imposing grille. While they're covered in plastic mouldings in the images, it's clear that the bumpers have actually been revamped and the wheel arches will be squarer. The fast AMG GLE 63 version will look even more aggressive– read on for the most recent information. At the back, the brakelights look slimmer to accentuate the car's size, and it'll feature new exhaust finishers.
2019 Mercedes GLE Interior
The 2019 Mercedes GLE dashboard will employ the massive dual-screen setup initially used in the E-Class saloon. One shows all the instruments and driving info rather of traditional dials, while the other takes care of infotainment and navigation. It'll get physical dials for the environment control, which are easier to utilize while driving than prodding on the touchscreen.
The interior will feel a lot more modern than the present car, which is beginning to reveal its age with a really button-heavy centre console. The majority of the design and parts are anticipated to be lifted from the glamorous E-Class and freshly exposed CLS. There'll be a raft of safety technology including lane keep assist, automobile emergency situation braking and radar-guided cruise control, while limited self-driving abilities will likewise feature.
2019 Mercedes GLE Engines and Driving
A brand-new 2.0-litre diesel will be readily available– it'll be less grumbly than the old 2.1-litre unit and will use better efficiency and economy than the 204hp and 47.9 mpg that the existing engine manages. Across the range, the heartland engines– a more powerful six-cylinder diesel and 2 gases– will likewise be improved.
Bookending the range will be 2 quick AMG models and a plug-in hybrid version. A mid-strength GLE 43 model will surprise a couple of people far from traffic signal and the GLE 63 provides unhinged, unbelievable performance from such a big SUV. The latter will use the 4.0-litre V8 from the AMG E63, and it's expected to produce 563hp in the 'standard' AMG model and 603hp in the GLE 63 S. Meanwhile, the plug-in hybrid model must have the ability to drive for 31 miles on electric-only power. Entry-level models will be offered with rear-wheel-drive for the very first time to save cost and enhance fuel economy, however all-wheel-drive will still be used on the majority of the range.
2019 Mercedes GLE Price and Release Date
You'll have to wait until the end of 2018 at the earliest before you'll be able to purchase the new 2019 Mercedes GLE, however prices should not increase excessive. Expect an entry-level car to cost from simply over ₤ 50,000, double that cost if you desire a bonkers AMG GLE 63 S and someplace in between the 2 extremes for a plug-in hybrid.

… and hoping that Larry Vander Maten's actions will not impact our adoption or others who are currently in process. As you can imagine, many in the "Ukrainian Adoption World" are quite concerned and along with us, would love your prayers. Perhaps there are some folks out there whose adoption are "smooth sailing," but everyone I've ever known who's BTDT has had a rollercoaster of a ride.
Bill has often said that we have been called to pursue adoption, not make it happen. While I've agreed with this idea in theory, I've had trouble relinquishing control. If I can't make something happen, then I'll over-research something to gain as much information as I can in order to give myself some false sense of control. I'm learning, but obviously still have much to learn, about truly trusting God with the outcome. Another mom who adopted two kids from Russia many years ago, said to me last Saturday, "God doesn't call us to be successful. He calls us to be faithful." Two different ways of saying the same thing.
Pray that my heart will get these truths more deeply and that during this time of waiting I'll be faithful.

"Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant which they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each man teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
— Jeremiah 31:31-34 (RSV)
Dear Friends,
Suddenly, Christmas is in the air. After Sunday's Advent Workshop, our offices have been alive with seasonal preparations; from bulletins and newsletters, to concerts and children's programs. This morning an intrepid group of decorators descended on our sanctuary with angels, wreaths and poinsettias. Many thanks to our decorators for all their hard work. Many thanks also to all who participated in this year's Advent Workshop and Lunch. They made Sunday a very special day.
Our church always seems to be at its beautiful best in Advent, and the full transformation will be on display this coming Sunday. I hope you'll plan to join us for our first Sunday in Advent, complete with the lighting of our first Advent Wreath candle and Advent Communion service, followed that afternoon by our Messiah concert. "Behold, the days are surely coming says the Lord."
Yours in Grace,
Rev. Kevin

Access Points are not Routers
Once in a while we receive questions from someone who has not taken the time to read our documentation before making a purchase decision regarding access points. This article is intended to make clear why trying to use an access point as a router is a bad idea.
Open Mesh access points and Ethernet switches are not designed to be used as a replacement for a router. We strongly recommend you use a router between your modem and your network to manage your local network, internet routing and firewall needs, and only use the Open Mesh access points as Wireless Access Points for your network.
Some modems hand out DHCP addresses – an open-mesh access point will work with them but many modems do not hand out DHCP addresses and open-mesh access points won't automatically work with them. Modems and access points are not routers – they do not provide any protection from hackers – they just provide wide open Ethernet to the world.
Open-mesh products need DHCP addresses from a router in order to properly be configured – automatically and simply using our cloud controller. An old feature of using hard coded IP addresses from a modem being assigned to an access point is only available in routers that also act as an access point. Those type of devices cannot be used in a true cloud based controller like that offered for free by Open-mesh's Cloudtrax service.
Limitations of trying to use an Open Mesh access point as a router include:
- No user configurable firewall or port forwarding.
- Default firewall rules expect to be on a local network.
- No control over DHCP address range.
- No control over services exposed to the internet (e.g. DNS/SSH).
- Bridged SSIDs will likely not function due to exhausting your available allowed IP addresses from your ISP, and should be considered a security risk, as users would be bridged directly onto the internet with no firewall.
- Limited to one wired gateway per IP address allowed by your internet provider.
By trying to use Open-mesh products or any other access points from any other manufacturer as a router you give up using all of the advantages of using Open-mesh as a smart cloud based network.

BER-MONTH! Christmas is coming! We're so excited to relive traditions and create new ones in our new home – Makati. And speaking of traditions, while we're settling in, we're starting a royal custom of sharing our best-loved thingies monthly.
So, without further ado, here's for September!
"100 Bible Verse Everyone Should Know by Heart by Robert J. Morgan is da bomb!" –King.
Hidden Figures is a 2016 drama film, based on a non-fiction book, about black female mathematicians who worked for NASA during the space race. I'm not into drama, but this one's close to my heart. Not because I want Prince to work for NASA or JPL someday (lol) but simply because it showed what it's like to be at the right place, at the right time. No matter how hard or huge the challenges and condemnations are, if you know your calling and purpose, you will fight for it.
I haven't been exercising for (ugh) years. But this app, 8fit, made it easire for me to revert back. Nica

Summary: Whether you're aware of it or not, the work you've been doing and the seeds you've been planting are starting to show vigorous growth. You'll be able to build on such things, but for now, keep at it. Turn your attention toward the perfecting work within, ever mindful of the calls of your subconscious and outer realms of communication. The old world, and all the ideas that built it, no longer can sustain you. A new world is breaking through, calling you to let die those symbols you had believed in. A resurrection of knowledge is at hand. Let go and move on, guided by signals arising from contemplation and inner attentiveness.
Three of Pentacles — Judgment (reversed) — Ten of Swords
FOUNDATION: Three of Pentacles
You've put in a lot of hard work and it's showing. If you can't see it yet, keep at it. Trust that, just out of your line of sight, the seeds you've planted are growing strong. Not only growing, but making a powerful statement about strength, unity, and potential. You've managed to bring together oppositional forces within yourself in a way that works. Threads of various motivational direction now entwine in trust; the result is a foundational core that can bear any weight. The secret is in the dynamics of spin, where the central point is the space of Nine, of zero-point potential, the opening in which the divine can express itself. Everything that you're endeavoring within now, and the movement you sense within your own evolutionary movement, is aligning in a vortex-like harmonic around that core. It's all happening. All you need to do right now is keep hammering away at the thing that you're doing. It's the avenue for growth. Amazing things will follow.
LODESTONE: Judgment (reversed)
Are you doubting your fate? Do you question the road you're on? Even just a little such doubt can pry open a Pandora's box of self-sabotaging eventualities. Recognize that all such things are manufactured by the mind, and right now you're well in the process of jettisoning a lot of the accoutrements of limitation. Your best bet now, as the season of a yearly turn on the solstice axis, is to turn your attention inward, toward those things that are rising from your subconscious for rectification, renewal, or release. Pay attention to your dreams and the signals that come from out of nowhere, from the sidelines of your current gameplay. In fact, now is a good time to sit out a round or two of activity and get a feel for what's going on inside. Your mind is telling you something. Who you are is changing. You have choices to make that will affect your trajectory, and that, dear friend, is going to have an effect on those things you're creating. A world awaits birth. Before the push begins, gather yourself. Take a deep breath and let it carry with it everything you haven't yet catalogued or organized as remnants of who you've defined yourself to be. Before the time of systems renewal kicks in, your attention is required within.
MOST OMWARD DIRECTION: Ten of Swords
Now you've done it. You've completely exasperated yourself trying to make sense of all the cross-cutting thoughts that have refused to behave. You'll soon grow tired of the work that's required to bring a belief structure square and viable. If you aren't careful, you could end up cutting yourself trying to find a place to store all those ideas, and to what end? The days ahead are looking turbulent, for sure, and yet, if you get your sights in line with the horizon, you can discern a breaking light. You've carried the baggage of blades long enough; trying to make things work is only going to lead to a world of hurt. Turn your attention toward the new world ahead, and let fall the archetype of the old world. It's doubtful you'll need those things, those people in whom you had pinioned your hopes. The road ahead will likely be littered with the corpses of cast-off personas. Just ahead lay the lifting of the skies. Leave that part of you that has needed to believe to its fate. You cannot argue with it any longer. The time of knowing is clearing the way. Certainty is upon you. You've literally explored a paradigm to death. Take a big step over what you no longer need to believe in, and head toward the breaking day.
"As soon as the magnetics of mind of people as a global entity of thought are altered enough to draw the magnetic pull of alternate realities into a state of integrity, you will experience a radical transformation. Good news, though. It is not death. Reality will change; however, life will continue."

Bitcoin continues to trade in a narrow range for the 13th straight day and a move above $6,800 is needed to confirm a bullish breakout, according to technical chart.
At press time, the leading cryptocurrency is trading at $6,600, representing a 1.65 percent gain on the day.
BTC has been restricted to a narrow range of $6,800 to $6,500 since Sept. 22 and this lack of clear directional bias has pushed the volatility reading to a 21-month low.
The daily volatility as represented by the Bollinger bandwidth – a technical analysis tool derived by dividing the gap between the Bollinger bands by price's moving average – has dropped to 0.078, its lowest level since December 2016.
A prolonged period of low volatility often paves way for a big move in either direction. So, it seems safe to say that BTC could soon witness a bullish or bearish breakout and the direction of the big move could be gauged with the help of the Bollinger bands.
Daily chart
As can be seen, the Bollinger bands (standard deviation of +2, -2 on the 20-day moving average) are moving in a sideways manner, indicating there is no clear trend in the bitcoin market.
Meanwhile, Bollinger bandwidth dropped to levels last seen in December 2016.
If BTC finds acceptance above the upper Bollinger band of $6,800, then investors could conclude that an extended period of low volatility has ended with a bullish breakout.
On the other hand, a move below the lower Bollinger band of $6,290 would imply the consolidation has ended with a downside break.
The prospects of a downside break appear high as the cryptocurrency is again struggling to clear the 50-day exponential moving average (MA), currently located at $6,640.
- The immediate outlook remains neutral as long as BTC is trapped between the Bollinger bands.
- A UTC close above the upper Bollinger band of $6,800 would confirm a bullish breakout and would open up upside towards the September high of $7,429.
- A break below the lower Bollinger band of $6,290 would shift risk in favor of a re-test of the June low of $5,755.

By Daniel Larison
Rachel Lu writes a very strange column about U.S. foreign policy:
The United States has made mistakes in geopolitics (as powerful nations inevitably do), and we should acknowledge those. Even so, our nation has truly promoted these values abroad in myriad ways, as our enemies overwhelmingly have not. We should be proud of that American legacy, and we should want to honor and extend it as we can in the 21st century. It's acceptable to have a few skeptics, but our conversations about foreign policy will be better and more productive if at least some people believe that America can be a force for good. If we've lost that spirit entirely, we may need to reconcile ourselves to reality of diminished influence and security for ourselves and our descendants.
Lu's column seemed strange to me because it takes neoconservative talking points about benevolent global hegemony at face value more than fifteen years after the invasion of Iraq. I would have thought it obvious by now that neoconservatives and their allied hard-liners profess benevolent intentions while endorsing illegal and cruel policies that inflict enormous suffering and death on many other countries. Their professed concern for freedom is selective and cynical, and they have no interest in holding U.S. allies and clients accountable for their abuses and crimes. Their habits of exaggerating foreign threats and demanding military action when no U.S. interests are at stake haven't changed and remain as dangerous as ever. They wrap up this toxic combination in rhetoric about liberal values and world order and then proceed to trample on the principles they claim to espouse. The U.S. has frequently resorted to the use of force around the globe over the last twenty-five years, and that use of force has usually done far more harm than good and it has almost always left the affected countries worse off than they were before. The U.S. and the world have no need for renewed interest in what neoconservatives are offering.
The "mistakes" of U.S. foreign policy impose staggering costs on tens of millions of people overseas. It is woefully inadequate simply to "acknowledge" them after the fact and then return to the same reckless ideological assumptions that made those "mistakes" possible. Indeed, it is not enough to call them mistakes. They need to be described accurately as crimes and abuses of power. If the U.S. can be a force for good in some situations, it is important to realize that it has been a destructive force in the parts of the world where it has been most willing to use force to achieve its goals. Across the Middle East and North Africa in particular, the U.S. has started, joined, or supported wars in the last two decades that have killed hundreds of thousands of people, displaced millions, and put many millions more on the cusp of starvation. All of this devastation hasn't made the U.S. more secure, and continuing down this path will only create more enemies. Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has frequently used force when it didn't need to in places where it had no reason to be involved against people that posed no threat to America. There is nothing good about that, and we should stop telling ourselves that there is.
As we speak, the U.S. is aiding and abetting the Saudi coalition in Yemen as it commits war crimes against civilians and causes the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The U.S. has made itself the enemy of tens of millions of Yemenis who never did anything to us and posed no threat to anyone. Neoconservatives have nothing to say against U.S. support for the war on Yemen, because they are in favor of it. When the politicians aligned with them have talked about it, they have dutifully echoed Saudi talking points and voted against any measure that might restrict or halt U.S. military assistance to the coalition. As long as such despicable policies continue, conservatives and all other Americans should be focused on stopping these abuses of American power. Neoconservatives have absolutely no interest in doing that, and that means their message could not be less relevant to our current foreign policy woes.

The Dallas Stars and restricted free agent Valeri Nichushkin do not appear to be closer to a contract, and the KHL could be an option for the club's 10th overall selection in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
According to @galkevich32 Valeri Nichushkin is set to sign 2-year deal with #CSKA of the #KHL. CSKA has just acquired rights for him #Stars
— Igor Eronko (@IgorEronko) September 19, 2016
Now, word the Nichushkin signing to CSKA Moscow will indeed occur. Nothing official yet, but going down that road.
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) September 19, 2016
Nichushkin linked to KHL
This could be a leverage move or maybe where there is smoke there is fire. The big Russian has appeared in 166 games for the Stars over the previous three seasons and averaged under 15 minutes of ice time. Nichushkin player over 50 percent of the time with Mattias Janmark, Jason Spezza, Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin. Linemates do not appear on the surface to be the issue. With only nine goals and 20 assists in 79 games last year, the salary demands need to match with on-ice production.
According to a report from Igor Eronko, Nichushkin is apparently unhappy with Lindy Ruff as coach.
Per source Nichushkin doesn't want to play for Lindy Ruff. Although he wants to return to #Stars someday.Ruff's contract is for 2 more years

Fleischmann on PTO
Tomas Fleischmann will join the Minnesota Wild on a professional tryout, according to the Wild. The 32-year-old left winger was offered a contract with the Montreal Canadiens after a PTO last summer. He was traded during the season to the Chicago Blackhawks.
#mnwild has invited forward Tomáš Fleischmann to training camp on a PTO. pic.twitter.com/7nR7ncuuDK
— Minnesota Wild (@mnwild) September 19, 2016
After a career year with the Florida Panters in 2011-12 recording 27 goals and 34 assists, Fleischmann's production has been nearly cut in half. The last two years were spent between four teams: Florida,Montreal, Chicago and the Anaheim Ducks. Last year, his time in Montreal and Chicago combined for 14 goals, 11 assists in 76 appearances.
The Wild look fairly set on the left wing, but a Fleischmann could prove to be a depth player for Minnesota. He likely will not return to the form of 2011-12, but could add skill to the Wild's middle-six.

Kendra and Doug met in 2015 while Kendra was attending college at Purdue. Doug drove all the way up to visit a cousin who was a student there as well and happened to be a long time friend of Kendra's. While Doug was there visiting, they joined a college get together. Kendra runs into her cousin and Doug and the two hit it off. The funny thing is, Kendra and Doug have attended the same church, grade school and high school together. They also lived just minutes apart too. Kendra was smitten that Doug would drive all the way to Purdue just to meet her!
So while the two had only been talking for a few weeks, Kendra decided to study abroad. She never thought that they could get a long distance thing to work, after all they really just met. Besides, they were a long way from each other and there was a 7 hour time difference. But, these two kept talking and stayed in touch the whole time she was gone.
This past May was the day Kendra said YES to Doug! The two planned a trip with Jake and Laura {one of our past couples whom WE LOVE} to St. Louis. They were going to the Anheuser Busch tour and then a Cardinals game afterwards. Laura and Jake were in on Doug's plan so after they hit the brewery {which is really neat btw!!} they freshened up and headed to the game. The game just got started but since no one was in a hurry to go in just yet, Laura asked if they could go meet up with her cousin who was also in St. Louis visiting. We went to this park that was close by and while everyone "waited" for this cousin to arrive, Laura asked if Kendra would take a pic of her and Jake in front of the fountain. Kendra said of course! Laura got excited and said your turn! When Kendra and Doug were getting all posed up for this picture, Doug ended up getting down on one knee and PROPOSED! Kendra was so shocked! Turns out, they were never meeting with any cousin at this park. It ended up being such an amazing night and they all ended up going out and celebrating later that evening after the game!
Kendra's Dress + Sweater : Flutter Newburgh
Film Processing : The Find Lab
Doug and Kendra are the sweetest! I just loved every minute that we were all together as if we were friends. We walked casually, talked casually and they trusted me. These two whole kindheartedly trusted me with this amazing honor. Every time I would say "hey lets do this!" They would smile and say I trust you! I know it's going to be so fabulous! And I love that so much.
We ended up walking through the locations long before the session day. We came up with ideas, I got to see where the light landed during the time of their session and we also connected again. It was actually the first time I met Doug too! These two have a connection to the first session location. The lake house property belongs to their parents and they've spent good times here together. It's always memorable to do a session at a place that means something to the couple.
We then journeyed along to a gravel road that they pass a LOT since its right down the road from Kendra's parents house. They mentioned the sunset and how beautiful it was here. Oh my goodness were they right. This place was heaven and I am so glad we took an evening together to explore. We walked the gravel road, checked out all possibilities and went over outfits and all the girly stuff you can think of. These two laughed and danced and it was such an amazing time!
Our time spent together was SO great. We got to chat, laugh and get to know each other so much! Doug {long story} even checked my oil for me! Ok. Story time…I may as well tell you! So we are leaving their parents lake house and on the way I look in my dash board {I do this a lot because ALL the men in my life constantly tell me to just check here and there} and my oil gauge was at zero. I immediately freaked just a little. I'm still following these two as we drive btw…but I call Kale and tell him what's up. He's like OMG! You need to pull over and check the oil. So I kindly tell Doug and Kendra and Doug was such a cool guy, after the session he checked my oil to make sure it wasn't anything to be worried about. And come to find out it wasn't. I had a sensor go out {thankfully}. I remember when I got home, Kendra emailed me to make sure I made it safely. Like seriously how amazing are they? Super sweet. Down to earth and gah! Have you seen this gallery of images!!
Super thankful for them! So glad they chose us and we can't wait for their big day!!

Visiting different towns in Italy, has shown me that just like the United States, there are many different ways to live in these centuries old communities. The city of Florence, while steeped in history, has become a modern city with very old landmarks. It is a bustling area with tourists from around the world making their way to see the architecture and artwork created long ago.
The scene in Cagli is the opposite of Florence. In this town, tradition is still prevalent, it is not a tourist city, this is a small community that still takes advantage of Pausa and closes the majority of shops so that people can rest and spend time with family/friends. There is a sense of pride in this town, a tight knit community.
After seeing the differences between Florence and Cagli, it was on to Urbino for a day. This, to me, seemed comparable to a college town in the United States, with the added Italian touches. The town still recognizes pausa, with most shops closing in the early afternoon. There is more activity on the streets and more variety in peoples appearances. It seems as though the town has a higher number of people in their twenties, this is most likely due to the University in town.
The differences in the communities in Italy is much like the differences you see across America. Every town/city has its own identity, we have our similarities and our differences. The differences between the Italy and the United States can be seen in different ways from town to town in Italy and even in the bus system.
Taking the bus in Italy is an adventure that you never know how it will exactly play out. Starting out in Cagli usually results in riding the bus out for a short ride, where you will on occasion pick up passengers that appear to just be standing beside the road, not at a bus stop. Eventually, the bus will stop at what appears to be a random area beside the road, where you will be instructed to exit the bus and you will either move to a waiting bus or wait for your next bust to arrive. This is unlike anything I have ever experienced the few times I have travelled by bus in the States. Sometimes you may only do this exchange once each way on your trip or you may have a real adventure and change once on the way to your destination and three times on the way home, always and adventure.
The cultural differences are both small and large when comparing Italian life to American life but we all want to live the best life we can. This trip has allowed me to step back and realize everyday is an adventure and I just need to step back and enjoy the moments.
