Three Ways GlobalHack VI Could Help St. Louis's Homeless Population
GlobalHack VI is coming to St. Louis this weekend at Saint Louis University's Chaifetz Arena, and it's bringing a huge potential for social change with it.
Entrepreneurs, tech gurus, graphic artists and more from all around the world will gather October 21-23 to meld minds and create solutions around a single idea: homelessness in the St. Louis area. GlobalHack VI teams will work to create software prototypes that could help streamline the efforts of agencies like St. Patrick Center while competing for $1 million in cash prizes. Kelly Peach, senior director of communications at St. Patrick Center, isn't sure what the participants will dream up—the specific challenge is tightly protected, not to be revealed until Friday evening's opening ceremony—but she has a few ideas about the software concepts that agencies working with the local homeless population could use to be more successful.
1/ Connection between organizations
With agencies collaborating all across St. Louis City and County as well as throughout St. Charles County, new software that allows rapid and easy connection among them would be immensely helpful, Peach says. Some organizations have programs and services that aren't available elsewhere, and ready access to that information—rather than dozens of dead-end phone calls—could make serving St. Louis's people a smoother process.
2/ Tracking
At a place like St. Patrick Center, where the goal is to help homeless or near-homeless individuals achieve self-sufficiency, it's helpful to know where these people have come from, where they have stayed in the past and what services they have received, Peach says.
3/ Fund following
Knowing where the available funds are could could be a timesaver and a boost for people who run service organizations like St. Patrick Center, Peach says. These groups run largely on donations, and the spread isn't always even.
After this weekend, we'll know what Globalhack VI participants create and how their software may help improve the lives of St. Louisans, and Peach is excited about that. "People donate what they can, but this is a great example of tech people having the opportunity to get involved in an important mission the best way they know how," she says. "It's a slice of the universe that might not have had the opportunity otherwise to help."

Swing -> Applet size problem
My problem is:
i am setting my JApplet's size to : WIDTH=400 and HEIGHT=300
on applet tag in html page.
when i execute my code on internet explorer 8, the sizes are:
but in mozilla 10.0.2 the sizes are:
this is my code:
Java Code:
public class MainClass extends JApplet implements Runnable { JPanel MainPanel = new JPanel(); public void init() { MainPanel.setLayout(null); MainPanel.setOpaque(true); MainPanel.setBackground(Color.BLACK); JLabel xLabel = new JLabel("Hi"); MainPanel.add(xLabel); xLabel.setBounds(0, 0, 140, 140); //xLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(140, 140)); xLabel.setOpaque(true); xLabel.setBackground(Color.WHITE); this.add(MainPanel); Dimension a = getSize(); System.out.println(a.toString()); Dimension b = xLabel.getSize(); System.out.println(b.toString()); } public void run() { } };
or how could i size my JLabel object?
(as you can see, there is a wrong about applet and JLabel sizes.)
Note : i must use setLayout nulled.
Re: Swing -> Applet size problem
First off, learn how to format code and name variables for readability: Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language: Contents
Next, learn to use layout managers and stop relying on absolute positioning: Lesson: Laying Out Components Within a Container (The Java Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing)

Re: Swing -> Applet size problem
-> yes java programmers USUALLY using camel variable names, but i don't wanna use. I'm not a newbe,
so don't say to me: "learn how to format code". If there is a forum rule;
So sorry for this format.
* Next, learn to use layout managers and stop relying on absolute positioning:
-> if you are making a tank game, a table game or a card game, Which layout could be use?
Note : you can use layout managers, but view of game can be very bad, and i don't wanna program a bad game (for view).
if you will say to me "use layout manager" again and again; You can solve my problem FROM A WAY. And you know (i think), there can be a lot of possible ways on programming ?
i am making an applet "game".. so i "must" use setLayout null, i think.
Thanks for reply anyway.
Re: Swing -> Applet size problem
Programmers stick to the Java naming standard the same reason writers don't write in all caps. Sure, you could go against the grain, but it's only going to make it harder for other people to read your code, and it's going to be harder for you to understand, debug, and maintain your code on your own. Getting an attitude about it is pretty pointless.
Programming a game does not automatically mean you have to use a null layout. In fact, it almost NEVER makes sense to use a null layout. If you're having a problem with the relative size of your components, aka the layout, then I'm not sure why you're scoffing at the suggestion to research layout managers.How to Ask Questions the Smart Way

Live roulette is produced as home entertainment and is suggested to be played entirely for the amusement it brings. Regardless, there are many who see it as a source of fast earnings. These people remain in continuous search of methods on how to win roulette. The closest most got to the ultimate solution of winning the casino video game is with roulette methods, however even the best of these have glaring flaws and greatly depending on luck.
At twenty-one you are truly an adult with the world available to you. Many individuals mark this celebration by doing the something they were unable to do legally beforehand. That is to go gaming. Poker up till this point might have been simply a card game held at a buddy's house; nevertheless, at a casino it handles a life of its own.
In 2008-2009 I made a joke about fighting Mike Vick in the fitness centre and some friends said I should do it to raise money for the pet dogs, I began emailing everybody that had connections to Vick and even went on his fan page and sent out open letters welcoming him to combat me for charity, I even used to sign that I would not do irreversible joint damage or end his football career. After no tournament poker response, I lastly let the concept go.
When to toss down or draw another card, you need to know
I met Doug at the studio and we began the little talk, he asked "Exactly what makes this battle so important to you?" I discussed that I was battling against a failing heart to combat my final fight to raise a loan to support the battle versus animal ruthlessness, homelessness and especially the dog fighters. I informed Doug that I had been heading out and being vigilant against the dog fighters as well as dealing with local groups to do exactly what I might for the canines of Detroit.
Doug asked for a long time to think about the emphasize movie however within a day he contacted me and said "There's more drama in this than all the Rocky films assembled" he asked if I would have an interest in a complete length documentary that followed me approximately my last fight, I instantly accepted his deal and we started dealing with the film.
An Important Review
we don't feel comfortable launching you to the card sharks without further stepping up your poker savannas. So, after knowing the cards and their worth's, you require learning the basic rules of a poker game. You have to understand when to give an ante or token bet. You need to understand how numerous cards the dealer will initially deal with you. You require learning when to open, inspect, see, fold and rise. And last but not least, you have to understand how some win and how can you be that somebody. On our next posts, we will absolutely let you understand how you can do this all, plus some techniques on ways to do this well. It will also be the very best way to bring people together and one of the best kids to consume time.

ohhhh yeah. Gatorade has me loving them and hating them at the same time.
This new LEMON ICE is the best flavor yet. It's light and crisp and the hints of lemon make it a cross between a slightly sweet lemonade and a fresh glass of lemon water. Either way I love it.
And it's for a limited time. And only available at The Sev (7-11). That…I hate.
So get it while it's hot.

Ovarian borderline mucinous cystadenoma
Ovarian borderline mucinous cystadenomas are a subtype of ovarian mucinous tumors and, as the name stands, are intermediate between mucinous cystadenomas and mucinous cystadenocarcinomas.
On this page:
They account for ~ 10-15% of all ovarian mucinous tumors.
They are microscopically characterized by cytologic atypia and epithelial stratification, but stromal invasion is absent. They can show identical gross features to those of mucinous cystadenomas.
They are at least two recognized sub types:
- intestinal type - commonest by far 3
- Mullerian (endocervical-like) type
Radiographic features
They have a multilocular appearance at MR imaging and can be indistinguishable from a simple mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary. Loculi are often small, arranged back-to-back, and variable in number. Contrast-enhanced images are essential to distinguish septal wall thickness from back-to-back small cysts.
Treatment and prognosis
They are non-invasive tumors, with survival rates reported as high as 99% 2.

I was in the shadow for a long period of time regarding my skin care, that is probably because I didn't have much problems with my skin. But the older I get, the more I notice that my skin is not the same and it needs some help. I haven't noticed any deep wrinkles, but I know that preventing is better than treating.
I have been using Gerovital products for quite a while now, especially the SPF ones that are mandatory for a young and beautiful skin. Recently, they have launched a new range of products, Gerovital Hyaluron H3 C, based on Hyaluronic Acid and vitamin C, that are the best allies for nourishing the skin and preventing the appearance of wrinkles. When I say that my skin is not the same anymore, I mean mostly that the elasticity of the skin is not as it used to be. My skin tends to get drier and it is difficult to smile without feeling that my skin pulling. This is how I know that I need to take extra care of it right now with the new Gerovital Hyaluron H3 C products.
The very first step after washing my face is cleaning it even more with the micelar water Hyaluron C that helps removing all the make up or any other residue left at the surface of the skin.
After that, I use the vitamin C ampoules, applying one whole ampoule all over my face and tap until the whole serum is absorbed in the skin. They ensure the filling and smoothing of all the wrinkles and prevent the premature aging of the skin.
I wait for few minutes and then I use the anti-age cream for eyes and lips contour that helps nourishing the skin in those sensitive areas, being filled with Hyaluronic Acid. I have been using it for more than two weeks and I have already noticed that the area near the eyes and lips is much smoother and I can smile easily without feeling that my skin is too dry.
All the products from the Gerovital Hyaluron H3 C are meant for morning and evening use, but today I am showing you just my morning skin care ritual and how I take care of my skin before a day full of shootings. My skin has to look perfect for more than 12h a day and this is why it is so important that I take care of it every morning and evening, so I don't have to worry about that the whole day and this way I can focus on my job.

You know who else is into rebranding?
France's Communist party has undergone a revolution and dropped the hammer and sickle from its membership cards.
The party (PCF) is replacing the communist emblem of peasants and the proletariat with a five-pointed star representing the European Left, a loose alliance of far-left parties, including France's Left Front. The move, announced at the party's 36th congress, which closed on Sunday, has angered traditionalists.

Thanksgiving Wine 6-Packs
- Nov 22, 2016
- By Veronica Stoler
- In Despaña News, Products, Uncategorized
- 0 Comments
We seriously love the Thanksgiving holiday–the food, friends, football and especially, the wines. Since the menu tends to be a standard mix of turkey/stuffing/mashed potatoes/candied yams/pumpkin pie we've selected a group of wines that are anything but the usual suspects. Also, they are insanely food (and people) friendly.
The breakdown: 1 bubbly Cava, 1 mineral-driven crisp aperitif white, a light bright red, a red with a bit more body and spicy oak, and 1 lovely naturally sweet half dessert half bottle for pumpkin pie.

The iPhone X: You Might Actually Be Able to Buy OneNovember 16th, 2017
When I featured author Bob LeVitus on The Tech Night Owl LIVE last week, he volunteered that he still hasn't decided whether to keep his newly-acquired iPhone X. Some of the eccentricities in its design, such as the "notch," and the wider aspect radio (19.5:9 compared to the usual 16;9), may not suit him. But he decided to give it some time to decide; he's also holding off on completing his review.
Bob also talked briefly about his personal odyssey in buying one. He opted not to wake up early to get first dibs, and thus placed his order later in the day at T-Mobile, expecting not to see one until the end of November. It shipped almost immediately, meaning that supplies were more plentiful than he expected, at least for the 256GB space gray unit that he wanted.
Getting one sooner than expected wasn't uncommon. Some people who preordered right on October 27th also found them shipping sooner than originally indicated. During its quarterly conference call with financial analysts, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the production ramp up was "going well," which implied cautious optimism.
But on the day the preorders began, the backorder delay quickly grew to five to six weeks. It didn't take long to be reduced to three to four weeks, and now it's two to three weeks in the U.S. and some other countries. But that's ordering one from Apple's online store, or from other dealers. If you want to find one at a local dealer, good luck.
That Verizon Wireless salesperson I talked to during a pair of ride sharing runs said he'd sold exactly one iPhone X, which would ship in several weeks. Other customers switched to an iPhone 8 when he explained the similarities. Clearly his argument was persuasive enough to get a quick sale and boost his monthly commission for November.
Where the backorder situation will count is early December, as customers decide if they can risk ordering one and getting their merchandise before Christmas. If the order situation improves at this rate, it may be possible to buy one and receive it in a few days. But the stock situation at stores still appears to be troubling. What about Black Friday next week?
I have no doubt, however, that Apple is on the case and is fully aware of how much product will be available when it's needed to fill demand. That the backorder delay is being steadily reduced indicates they have things pretty much under control. That said, it will probably be early in 2018 before you can just go to a store and be sure of finding the one you want.
Indeed, even though the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are supposed to be readily available, I did some spot checking at AT&T stores, factory and authorized, and not all of them were flush with stock. But it appears the Plus model is a little harder to get, because demand has continued to skew towards it.
Compare the real situation to all the fear-mongering before the iPhone X shipped. Unconfirmed reports had it that Apple was confronting serious, unexpected delays in getting product out the door. Backorders might extend to many weeks or months, and Apple's December quarter results might be seriously impacted.
Add to that the complaints about Face ID and its value even before a single unit shipped. It couldn't possibly work as advertised. After all, the facial recognition feature on the Samsung Galaxy S8 could be defeated with a digital photo. What about privacy concerns if your smartphone knows everything you're doing and where you're doing it.
Of course the privacy fear is simply answered. Other companies regard you as the product, so you can expect that an Android smartphone will be pushing data about you to Google's servers. One of the arguments made against Siri's ability to handle your requests is the fact that Apple isn't gobbling all your personal data as Google does. But isn't that what machine learning is supposed to accomplish without sacrificing privacy?
And consider this: The reason the authorities have had problems unlocking iPhones used by criminals is because Apple's security is robust. Not that it's impossible, and the FBI reportedly paid over a million dollars to unlock an iPhone 5c used by one of the San Bernardino killers after Apple refused a controversial request to add a privacy backdoor to iOS.
As I wrote yesterday, how often do you hear about the police not being able to unlock an Android phone? Remember, there are more Android mobile handsets out there, and thus more criminals must have them, right? So why aren't there any stories about such difficulties? Maybe there is, but I haven't seen it yet.
Now about the iPhone X, even if you forget the price of admission, I honestly don't know whether I'd buy one. I have certainly read enough about it, and reports of its magnificent OLED display are tempting. I am a little concerned about reports of screen glitches, even if the number is low, and I wonder if any other apparent production defects will appear. As I write this article, the iPhone X only began to arrive in the hands of customers less than two weeks ago.
If I get one for review, I wouldn't refuse of course, and I am working on that possibility. As a practical matter, I have better uses for my money right now, and I still have an iPhone that works just great.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a surrogate measure, or indicator for fecal contamination in recreational waters. Indicator organisms themselves do not cause illness under normal conditions. Elevated bacteria levels generally occur in aquatic environments after rain events when bacteria from various sources are washed into the lakes. Potential sources of E. coli in lake water include:
- Foreshore beach sand
- Organic debris
- Leaking diapers, bather defecation
- Polluted stormwater runoff
- Sewage spills near the beach
- Sewer line break discharges
- Stream inflows
- Wild and domestic animal waste
We test beaches weekly from June through August for E. coli bacteria, which can indicate a health risk. We follow Minnesota Pollution Control Agency guidelines for beach closures. Two types of results will close a beach:
- Single-Sample Limit: A single result of over 1,260 organisms per 100 mL of water
- Geometric Mean: Five samples equally spaced over a 30-day period exceed 126 organisms per 100 mL of water
Elevated bacteria levels in MPRB lakes usually occur as a result of rain events and return to normal levels within 24 to 48 hours of the rain event.
We will re-sample, and reopen the beach only when bacteria levels are within state guidelines.
We also provide water quality information on the beach status hotline: 612-313-7713

English Grammar Training
An Adult's Garden of Grammar: Rules for Pest-Free Writing
Course Outcomes
This English grammar course will:
- Explain the essential rules of English grammar workplace writers must understand to communicate accurately.
- Explore different kinds of sentences and the use of each.
- Highlight common grammatical errors and suggest tips for avoiding them.
Course Overview
If you have ever admired a beautifully landscaped yard or bountiful vegetable plot, what you appreciated was the end result of careful planning and planting, strategic weeding and pruning, knowledge of the right amount of water and sunlight, and patience. Accurate writing is not unlike successful gardening; both require thought and application of rules that net positive results.
While Business Training Works' other writing courses focus on the process of composition, this program reviews English grammar. Through a series of interactive exercises, the course explores rules that govern how words should be chosen, arranged, and punctuated to best convey a writer's ideas to an audience of readers. It is designed for those who may have forgotten or never fully understood the principles of grammar.
Although knowing these rules is no guarantee someone will become a brilliant writer, such knowledge will certainly lead to error-free writing on a sentence level. Those who struggle with knowing which word form to use, which punctuation mark to insert, or which kind of sentence might provide structural variety will find this program immediately rewarding.
For a comprehensive day of English review, this program may be combined with Business Training Works' punctuation course.
Program Objectives
At this program's conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Identify the parts of speech in the English language.
- Locate specific parts of speech in sample sentences and in self-generated sentences.
- Know the difference between parts of speech and parts of a sentence.
- Demonstrate variety by crafting each of the four kinds of sentences that are considered grammatically correct in English.
- Locate and also create phrases and clauses within a sentence.
- Recognize each of four sentence functions (declare, ask, demand, exclaim) and choose the appropriate end mark to use in each instance.
- Understand and avoid the mistakes that lead to grammatically incorrect or incomplete sentences (fragments, comma splices, run-ons).
- Know how to avoid misplaced or dangling modifiers.
- Explain the math of subject-verb and pronoun-antecedent agreement.
- Recognize and correct shifts in tense, person, tone, and so forth.
- Demonstrate an understanding of how to create parallel structure in a sentence.
- Identify the most frequently needed punctuation marks required for grammatically correct sentences that make the writer's intention clear to the reader.
- Understand and avoid the most common mistakes in English usage by careful proofreading.
The following outline highlights some of the course's key learning points. As part of your training program, we will modify content as needed to meet your business objectives. Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of participant materials prior to the session(s).
Workshop Outline
Prepping for Planting: Know the Resources
Before presenting ideas in writing to others, it's necessary to think, plan, and amass what you'll need to make yourself understood. In the initial segment of this workshop, we will dig into the "tool bag" of information writers must have in order to construct grammatically correct sentences. Our discussion will include a review of both the parts of speech and the parts of a sentence. Participants will see samples of other writers' texts before generating their own sentences to reinforce their understanding of these two broad terms.
Assemble the Necessary Tools: Consider What's Best for Each Task
Following the discussion of how words function by themselves and when combined with others to form sentences, we will examine four kinds of grammatically correct sentences that crop up in writing (simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex). Some are rows of words that yield one single thought. Others begin on one path and suddenly direct the reader toward a mixed bed of ideas. Participants will learn the benefit of knowing how to write each type of sentence and how to correctly incorporate phrases and clauses in those sentences for the purpose of maintaining their readers' interest.
Plant with a Purpose: Know the Effect You Want to Create
Beyond knowing sentence structure options, participants must also understand the connection between what words mean and how their placement and punctuation in a sentence can be multi-functional. Depending in part on how a sentence ends, writers indicate whether they are making a statement, asking a question, giving an order, or expressing intense emotion.
Get Rid of Those Weeds: Stop Common Grammar Problems Before They Multiply
With an understanding of what should be done to construct grammatically correct sentences, participants will examine some of the most frequent mistakes writers make. We will consider such problems as sentence fragments and run-ons, misplaced modifiers, and unparallel structure for the purpose of knowing what these are and how to avoid them.
Stake Your Ideas: Use Punctuation for Support
In addition to knowing how combined words serve to convey a writer's thoughts, it's also necessary for participants to understand the importance of punctuation marks. Without them, readers can't "hear" the writer's voice or know whether to take a breath or stop reading completely. When used accurately, punctuation marks clarify the writer's intent.
Harvest the Rewards: Proofreading Tips for High-Yield Benefits
The final segment of this program will be spent on identifying and knowing how to correct the most common English usage mistakes writers make. Such errors are frequently caught when writers take the time to distance themselves from what they have written before they proofread.
At the end of this active session, participants should have a better understanding of the rules of grammar and how they apply to the field of writing.

Creativity May Help Aging Brains
It's an odd medical meeting that features Rogers & Hammerstein and brilliantly colored paintings rather than, say, X-rays. What does belting out "Oklahoma" or putting oil to canvas have to do with brain health?
Perhaps a lot, when the singers are active 70- and 80-year-olds and the painters are in the throes of dementia. Creativity, some scientists say, may play an important role in healthy aging -- conversely, the ill can shed extraordinary light on just how the brain perceives art.
"Even though our brains age, it doesn't diminish our ability to create," says Dr. Bruce Miller, a behavioral neurologist at the University of California, San Francisco.
The big question, as arts projects become more common in retirement and nursing homes, is whether tapping elders' creativity truly brings them physical health benefits as well as joy. And if so, what works best?
The National Institute on Aging and Society for the Arts in Healthcare brought scientists and artists together last month to galvanize interest in research on creativity to find out.
Mental decline once was thought inevitable with aging. Scientists now know that's not true, and the brain continually rewires and adapts itself even in old age.
Even dementia "doesn't wipe out all aspects of creativity," says Miller. Indeed, some forms release astounding abilities to draw by people who never before did so, providing important clues to where the brain houses creative abilities.
Take Jack, a businessman who claimed he'd never even been in an art museum. About the time he noticed problems speaking, he also began compulsively painting canvases full of brightly colored lines.
His painting improved - he even won awards - as the language center of his brain decayed. By the time he painted a stunningly vivid purple and yellow portrait of a parrot, "He no longer knew what a bird was," recalls Miller.
Jack had an illness often confused with Alzheimer's called "frontotemporal dementia." It initially spares the parietal lobes important for visual artistry even as it destroys other regions crucial for verbal skills, Miller explains.
With Alzheimer's, in contrast, early damage to visual-artistry areas leaves patients unable to copy simple geometric designs.
So illness can affect creativity - but how does being creative affect healthy elders? Consider the show tune-belting Senior Singers Chorale, who are part of an unusual four-year study.
Dr. Gene Cohen of George Washington University is tracking the Arlington, Va.-based chorus and similar arts programs for independent seniors in New York and San Francisco. His theory is that the challenge of learning from professionals - "we're way beyond bingo" - improves mental, and possibly physical, health.
The singers' average age is 80; the youngest is 65 and the oldest 96. Some have even shown up for weekly rehearsal grieving a spouse's death, and "afterward they say, `I feel better,"' said chorus director Jeanne Kelly of the Levine School of Music. "It's emotionally really good for them."
Final study results are due next year, but preliminary data suggest participants get more than support: Compared with their elderly neighbors, they suffer less depression, make about three fewer doctor visits a year, take two fewer medications and have increased their other activities.
"We all probably could have told him that to begin with," laughs Betty Gail Elliott, 73, who joined the chorus with her 84-year-old sister. "When you have interesting things to do, you tend to be more outgoing and have a more positive attitude, and therefore you are more healthy."
In a poem to Cohen and Kelly, she wrote: "Our eyes may be dimmer than they were, our hearing may not be too hot. But friends, you just better believe we make the most of what we've got."
Taken together, research like Miller's and Cohen's could help arts groups better select projects to offer to different groups of elders.
It even could influence what art decorates their walls: Older people won't see blues as well as reds. The eye's light-sensing abilities change with normal aging, says University of California, Los Angeles, neuroscientist Dahlia Zaidel, who flips through masterpieces by an aging Renoir to show the color-perception changes hit just about everyone.

Chamber of Sages
The Temple of Light became the resting place of the Triforce during the Era of Chaos.[1][2] It is the only known elemental temple that is not located directly within Hyrule. Instead, it lies in the center of the Sacred Realm.[3] It can be accessed only through the chamber of the Master Sword inside the Temple of Time. By withdrawing the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time, a portal opens to the Sacred Realm, which leads to the Temple of Light.[4]
Chamber of Sages
- Main article: Chamber of Sages
Ocarina of Time
The Temple of Light, unlike all other temples in Ocarina of Time, is not an explorable area. Only one of its rooms is visited: the Chamber of Sages,(OoT)[5] which is where the Sages meet.
After Link withdraws the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time, his spirit is sealed away in the Chamber of Sages due to him being too young to bear the title of the "Hero of Time".[6] Since Link's action opened the gate to the Sacred Realm, Ganondorf took this opportunity to gain access to the Sacred Realm, eventually reaching the Temple of Light and taking the Triforce for himself.[2] While the Sacred Realm transformed into the Dark World,[7] Rauru used his powers to keep the Chamber of Sages intact.[8]
Seven years pass, and Rauru, the Sage of Light, awakens Link in the Chamber of Sages now that he is old enough to be considered the Hero of Time.[6] Rauru explains Link's fate and grants him the Light Medallion to add to his power, sending off the young hero to awaken the other five Sages so that they may add their might to Link and aid him on his quest to save Hyrule from Ganondorf's rule.[9]
Though Link is not able to visit the Temple of Light on his own, he is always warped to the Chamber of Sages every time he awakens a Sage. Here, the Sage bestows their powers to Link in form of a Medallion before returning to Hyrule again.
At the end of the game, after Link gives the final strike to Ganon and Princess Zelda calls upon the power of the Sages to seal Ganondorf away, Rauru and the other five Sages appear inside the Chamber of Sages to send the King of Evil into the void of the Evil Realm.[10]
A Link Between Worlds
Link visits the Chamber of Sages after rescuing each of the seven Sages from the Paintings that Yuga used to trap them. Once all seven Sages are present, they reveal the Triforce of Courage to Link and create a staircase inside the chamber so that he can reach it. The Sages remain in the Chamber of Sages until the Triforce is returned to Hyrule.
The platforms the Sages stand upon spell "courage" in Hylian.

Oh you, BioWare.
So, there was a stuff up with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 where Disk 2 of Black Ops was actually a Mass Effect 2 disk. As seen in the Youtube video below.
Activision has yet to provide an official statement regarding Mass Effect 2 replacing Black Ops II for some players, Mass Effect developer BioWare has commented on the matter, offering free copies of the Mass Effect trilogy to affected players. In a statement on its official site, BioWare posted the following:
"Rumor has it that about a thousand customers who purchased Call of Duty: Black Ops II for PC today were also treated to a surprise copy of Mass Effect 2. If you were one of the affected, chances are you thought it was a mistake, but we prefer to think that it was an omen, and when the universe talks, you should listen.
If the universe thinks that you should be playing Mass Effect right now, who are we to argue? In fact, we want to help! The first fifty fans affected by this phenomenon to send us a picture holding their special disc 2 will receive a code for a FREE PC copy of Mass Effect Trilogy.
Remember, in order to qualify, YOU must be in the picture, and disc 2 of your Call of Duty: Black Ops II must be visible. Got it? Then send your photo to email@example.com and you could be playing your very own Mass Effect Trilogy in time for the weekend!"

The Lizard
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Men
This homemade costume for men entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Alex, the 'The Lizard' costume creator:
I wore my costume to work and the next day to another halloween party. The inspiration was loosely based on The Lizard from SpiderMan. The costume is home-made, so to speak, or put together from different pieces. I obtained the idea to use fishnet as scales from this web site and used larger sized diamond fishnet for my face and green mesh netting that was supposed to be a different halloween prop for my chest and hands. The basic application of it is just liquid latex. I bought the Horn and glued it on. I used a base light green first and after applying the "scales" added another layer of a darker green, so the scales would not be just black. The Lab coat was purchased from a medical supply shop. The tail was a snake that I tucked into my belt. It took about 2 hours to do all the makeup which I did by myself.

It's Salvia greggii (a/k/a Autumn Sage).
What about 'Henry Duelberg' Salvia with those deep blue blooms that the Monarchs just love?
- Is a native Texas perennial -- and a very drought-tolerant one!
- It blooms from March until November.
- There are no disease or pest issues with it.
- Hummingbirds love them.
- They come in lots of colors (red, purple, varying shades of pink, white, coral). Hot pink just happens to be my favorite color for this salvia.

The Shafer family wanted to memorialize life before birth of their third child, so we headed to the studio. As always, the kids are the most fun to photograph, but at the same time they can be the greatest challenge.
Fortunately we had a lot of Gummy Bears to keep smiles on their faces, but it was still a challenge to get all eyes focused on the camera.
Even Daddy was thinking of that candy!
Mommy was a good model, and in the end we got a great family photo for their future home.
Thanks Shafer family! We look forward to seeing your 5th addition!

Nikki's Story
Exercise has always been an integral part of Nikki Noya's life. A sports fanatic and enthusiast, she found her early passion in the pool, where she achieved countless accolades and awards during her high school years, including four Junior Olympic Championship medals, Junior Lifeguard of the Year in Newport Beach, Calif., Student of the Year at Our Lady Queen of Angels School, and Commissioner for Women's Athletics at Mater Dei High School in California.After watching professional volleyball player Gabrielle Reece, Nikki became inspired and decided to try the sport. After just one practice, she was captivated and loved the feeling of being part of a team. By her sophomore year of high school, she had made the varsity team, been quickly named Team Captain, and received the Scholar Athlete Award. Under Nikki's leadership, her team ranked third in the nation. Her remarkable volleyball abilities led to a full scholarship to the University of Rhode Island, where her team became the Atlantic 10 Conference Champions. She traveled all over the world, and upon her return she joined the AVP Next Pro Volleyball Beach Tour and played across the United States.
Through her extensive travels, she realized how obesity, poor nutrition and lack of exercise affected the lives of so many around the world and across the United States. With the education and tools that she had acquired and the passion that she felt for helping others, she knew that she had to give back and share what she had learned. She knew that exercise and smart eating habits were not enough; she had to educate her clients on how true beauty starts from within.
This is where the Nikki Noya brand was born. As a Wellness Coach, she strives to empower clients to achieve vibrancy, energy, radiance, and beautiful health. Through fitness, nutrition and balance, clients become their best, feel their best, and look their best. They discover the anti-aging benefits of nurturing nutrition and learn how food and movement can be their greatest beauty tools and ultimate allies.

The Montana Woodshop
I am a Montana cowboy and woodsman. My hobby for the past fifteen years has been designing and hand-carving log furniture in my woodshop. A custom piece can often take months to complete and is truly one-of-kind. While riding in the Montana hills, I hand-select the most beautiful and unusual pieces of wood I stumble across and carry these pieces (some are rather large) back to the shop. Eventually these pieces will be matched with others I have collected and are then incorporated into a custom log design. I primarily create log beds but also do full bedroom sets, hope chests, dining room tables, and commissioned projects. This furniture is not mass produced and I work independently. Each artistic creation is signed and numbered to mark its uniqueness. I have been unable to find other companies or individuals creating log furniture with comparable attention to detail and finish work. I don't seem to have any competition. I simply need to become visible to the people who would appreciate my work. I would like the Montana Woodshop to become a full-time business but need to be connected with a sufficient number of buyers to make this financially feasible.
Target customers will love log decor, have an eye for fine art, and a desire to live surrounded by beauty and nature. Potential customers are not concerned with cost; they are looking for quality, workmanship, and one-of-a-kind pieces. This furniture will certainly give any owner bragging rights and will easily be the focal point of any room.
Note: Business cards will be passed out to potential customers but also to artisans in the area to build name recognition in the artistic community.
I've included multiple pictures of the logs in various finished stages so the textures and colors are visible.
1.The business card should reflect the artistry of the furniture. Please, nothing commercial/industrial looking or modern. Simplicity is best.
2. Incorporate the wood colors, shapes, patterns and/or textures into the design.
3. The business cards do not have to use the attached pictures but I am open to them being incorporated into the design in some way. Perhaps a zoomed-in section of the log can be included in the card design.
4. The design should make it clear that the furniture is created at the foot of a Montana mountain and is not mass produced in a factory.
5. The color palette should include natural colors, preferably similar to the colors found in the wood.
6. Nothing cutesy, nothing bright although there should be a "pop-factor" to the design.
7. Please no clip-art, cartoons, or stock images.
8. I am open to two-sided business card designs.
8. Format: Please provide .psd file in full bleed size
Thank you so much!!!

I wanted to go through our new "investigatory stop report (ISR)" training before I replied. By now you realize we have an extremely long form to fill out every time we do a street stop. The form is ridiculous and redundant but fortunately the department has created a shorter form that will we start using on March 1st. I think they missed the point with the gripes about low street stops. The form sucks, is burdensome, and redundant, but it's just paperwork.The idea that every report is being read by people looking to sue police officers is not a way to encourage productive proactive discretionary police activity.
The issue is that there is still heavy oversight by the ACLU and many private attorneys and their quick access to all information on ISRs. So now, instead of just your sergeant deciding if you have articulated enough reasonable suspicion, each ISR has to be approved by a sergeant, the integrity unit, and then combed over by an endless amount of lawyers looking for the slightest hiccup in the report. Private attorneys have started contacted people stopped about two weeks after each incident, by phone and/or mail and asking them how the police treated them while they were stopped. This is really unsettling.
All of this seems like a direct result from the McDonald shooting, even if it's not. Although no one is talking about it (the media has moved on to other police issues from where we park to the "thin blue line" code of silence). Immediately after the dashboard camera video came out, most cops were defending the shooting even after seeing the video. I get it. I would not have shot, but I understand why Van Dyke did. A crazed maniac on PCP with a knife is certainly dangerous and it doesn't morally bother me that he was shot. I do think it was a bad shooting, but not by much. Although, I come from a newer generation of policing with a different mindset I suppose.
After the protests and eventually when the ISR system came out, everyone started to vilify Van Dyke as the cause of all this oversight whether or not they believed it was a good shoot or not. Those that believed it was a good shot, no longer say anything about it, if that makes any sense. Basically, no one is supporting Van Dyke anymore, at least not openly. Meanwhile, street stops are down an astronomical percent and homicides are at at 12-year high through February. On the 11th, the superintendent sent out an email to the department reminding them that it's still okay to do street stops. No one took it seriously but the bosses have to do something to get numbers.
The first two months of 2015 saw 51 homicides. 2016 has seen 101. That's double, for those slow in math. If you don't want to call this a "Ferguson Effect," fine. I've never liked the term. But perhaps we can agree that if police feel they can't do their job for fear of lawsuits and/or criminal prosecution and thus do their job differently and then crime goes up, something is going on?
So if you don't like "Ferguson Effect," how about we call it the "when police feel they might get in trouble for doing their job, so police -- mostly to satisfy critics on the left who seem not to care how many people die as long as police are not involved -- get out of their car less, stop fewer people, interact with fewer criminals, and then murders skyrocket" effect?
See part of the police job is to harass criminals. Maybe you can think of a better word than "harass," but I use that work intentionally. Because policing isn't all please-the-old-ladies-going-church. People don't like to talk about it, but there is an actual repressive part of the job -- legally and constitutionally repressive, but repressive all the same. When that doesn't happen, criminals commit more crime.
[What I also find interesting in that a change in police culture with regards to what constitutes a good shooting is happening in front of our very eyes in Chicago.]
And here's the email from the Acting Chief:
Good Evening Everyone,Here's the long form in question and my previous post on "stop paperwork."
I want to clarify concerns regarding the Investigatory Stop Report (ISR) and the Department's Agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois (ACLU). I have heard your concerns and I am working toward a solution.
First, since January 1, 2016, Illinois Law requires all law enforcement agencies in Illinois to document investigatory stops and protective pat downs. We are not alone in this endeavor; the entire state is tasked with documenting investigatory stops and protective pat downs. Neither the law nor the Department's Policy has changed as to when stops and pat-downs are appropriate; merely the documentation has changed.
Second, Officers will not be disciplined for honest mistakes. I know that the Department ISR Policy has been in effect since January 1, 2016. The Department is working tirelessly to train everyone on the ISR policy and procedures. I know there is a learning curve and I appreciate your understanding as we make this transition.
Third, I would like to clarify the agreement between the Chicago Police Department and the ACLU. The Department has not relinquished any control of our policies and procedures to the ACLU. The agreement does not provide the ACLU with any role whatsoever with respect to individual officers' compliance with the Department's policies. The Department alone is responsible for supervising compliance with policies and procedures. Rather, the Department's agreement with the ACLU provides that a former federal judge, the Honorable Arlander Keys, will review CPD's policies, practices, and data regarding investigatory stops and recommend any changes that are reasonable and necessary to comply with the law, and that the ACLU will have an opportunity to review and comment upon CPD's policies, practices, and data.
Fourth, our Department is working to reduce the burden on officers. Remember, completing an ISR is in the best interests of Officers based on the Illinois State Law. A properly completed ISR helps protect the officer by documenting the basis for the stop and any resulting pat-down. Additionally, the transparency of the agreement with the ACLU and the ISR create a trust and mutual respect between our agency and the communities we serve.
Lastly, officer safety is one of my greatest concerns, and continues to be a valid basis for a protective pat down. Officers simply need to describe in the ISR why they believe their safety was at risk. To perform a stop, an officer must have reasonable articulable suspicion, based on the facts and circumstances, that a crime has been, is being or is about to be committed. And, before an officer conducts a protective pat-down, he or she must have reasonable articulable suspicion that a person stopped is armed and dangerous and therefore poses a threat to the officer's safety or the safety of others. Neither of these requirements are new policies.
I appreciate all of the hard work that each of you do on a daily basis. Additionally, thank you for your service and dedication to the people of Chicago. Take care and stay safe.
John J. Escalante
Interim Superintendent of Police
Chicago Police Department
Maybe Chicago could learn from the Baltimore way of motivating cops: pull your weight; and no "submission experts" or "JV third stringers" need apply!


text: Caruana Galizia was a well-known investigative journalist in Malta [M Mirabelli/AFP-Getty Images] Maltese police have arrested 10 people allegedly connected to the murder of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia who died in a car bomb blast two months ago. Malta's Prime Minister Joseph Muscat announced eight arrests at a press conference on Monday, and he later tweeted that two other individuals were also apprehended. All eight initial suspects were Maltese nationals, and some were known to the police, Muscat said. An additional 2 persons have been apprehended in #DaphneCaruanaGalizia murder probe, bringing total to 10 arrests. Authorities have all areas of interest under control since early this morning and searches are underway. — Joseph Muscat (@JosephMuscat_JM) December 4, 2017 Police made arrests in several locations around Malta on Monday morning as part of a joint operation with the armed forces and secret service. Muscat provided few details about the suspects, stating an unwillingness to say anything that might affect potential prosecutions. The arrests were the first apparent break in the murder investigation, which is receiving support from the FBI, Europol, and Finnish security services. Caruana Galizia, 53, was killed on October 16 after a bomb exploded in her car as she drove away from her home in Mosta, a small town outside the capital, Valletta. She was well-known in the small island country for her popular blog, Running Commentary, where she highlighted alleged high-level corruption by politicians across party lines. Caruana Galizia also covered criminal gangs and drug trafficking and was responsible for exposing Malta's links with the so-called Panama Papers document leak. Half an hour before the explosion, Caruana Galizia wrote on her blog: "There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate." {articleGUID} Investigators now have 48 hours to question the suspects before charging or releasing them. Muscat was often criticised by Caruana Galizia, who he has described as his "greatest adversary". He has faced criticism from many, including Caruana Galizia's sons, for the lack of progress in the investigation.

Why it is OK to Block Ads
"Whatever metric you think they're nudging you toward—how do you know? Wouldn't you like to know? Why shouldn't you know? Isn't there an entire realm of transparency and corporate responsibility going undemanded here?
I'll give you a hint, though: it's probably not any of the goals you have for yourself. Your goals are things like "spend more time with the kids," "learn to play the zither," "lose twenty pounds by summer," "finish my degree," etc. Your time is scarce, and you know it.
Your technologies, on the other hand, are trying to maximize goals like "Time on Site," "Number of Video Views," "Number of Pageviews," and so on. Hence clickbait, hence auto-playing videos, hence avalanches of notifications. Your time is scarce, and your technologies know it.
But these design goals are petty and perverse. They don't recognize our humanity because they don't bother to ask about it in the first place. In fact, these goals often clash with the mission statements and marketing claims that technology companies craft for themselves."
From start to finish, an incredible take on the ethics of ad-blocking.

Welcome to the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast.
This week the terrorists won. The terrorist convinced Sony and several theater owners to pull the release of "The Interview" from our theaters this Christmas. It's a disappointment. Then several indie theaters wanted to show "Team America: World Police" and Paramount pulled that so whatever. The Critics Choice Nominations were out. Josh and I poke fun of the award show and Sean doesn't laugh.
"The Hobbit" is finally over so we never have to talk about that again…until they turn 30 years old. It won the weekend, but Josh and Sean disliked it. "Annie" came out and Sean thought it was a disaster. Then "Night at the Museum 3" came out and nobody noticed.
This week Sean asks us to Defend "Willow" but I asked Josh if it held up. It did for me, it did not for Josh. Then Josh went on to describe what was wrong with "Willow" and all he did was say awesome things about it.

The concept of mental health is a hot topic – both in and out of police circles. The connection between Policing and mental health continues to be examined on different levels. It is no surprise that Police, being first responders, are involved daily in face-to-face interactions with members of our community that struggle with mental health issues.
On the flip side, the stigmatized topic of a police officer's mental health also needs to be addressed; who takes care of those who take care of others?
Many people, officers included, may believe the police are highly trained emergency personnel and that this somehow excludes them from the emotions of traumatic events.
On the surface the first responder gets the job done and through the high-level training, seems impervious to the pain of the people who they have just helped. I can assure you that this is far from the truth. We are human and trauma affects us all quite differently. Sometimes it will affect you immediately, but often it may not affect you until down the road.
I vividly remember attending my first fatal car crash years ago. It was a blur of frenzy and chaos – people standing around to watch the emergency personnel work midst the tragedy of the situation.
I got to the scene at 9:30 p.m. I was there to do a job; I had been trained and knew what was expected of me. I secured the scene, getting the injured off to the hospital. I talked to witnesses and took statements. I even had to tell a family the heart-wrenching news of tragedy.
It was a whirlwind of stress, emotion and high energy to get done what was needed. I remember finishing my report and walking down to Central Records to hand in my officer notes, and looking at the clock and seeing it now read 3:00 a.m.
I didn't think too much about the call after that, until I was driving home later that morning. It dawned on me that even though we are highly trained to do our jobs, we are still human. Not a time goes by that I pass that intersection that I don't think about the tragedy that I was a part of many years ago.
For an officer to end up with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not uncommon. Most people think that PTSD happens when one experiences a single traumatic event, but this is only partially true. PTSD can also be cumulative, when a person with years and years of experiences and countless traumatic events. This is common place in the careers of many emergency services and military personnel.
A sad story surfaced a few months back when a Staff Sargent with the Hamilton Police Service (HPS) in Ontario took his own life. S/Sgt Ian Matthews suicide has brought the whispered subject of police mental health into the light. It's unfortunate that it has taken somebody's life to see that the elephant in the room needs to be acknowledged. If you read anything else today, read this article written by a colleague of S/Sgt Matthews.
Police services today teach their officers to be tactically ready to deal with anything the streets throw their way, but what about after the dust settles? What does an officer do after the days, weeks, or years pass and the emotions come flooding back? This training is just as important.
I recently had the opportunity to attend a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) instructor's course, which is put on by The Mental Health Commission of Canada. It was great – it helped to prepare me to instruct fellow officers in the MHFA two-day course. I'm very pleased with the Saskatoon Police Service's forward thinking and getting its officers educated and trained in this often stigmatized and misunderstood area. The simple skills that the MHFA framework teaches are invaluable for frontline personnel. We are not there to diagnose or act as psychologists, but merely to apply mental first aid to those in crisis and hopefully stabilize them until they get the help they need.
Educating front line personnel on how to handle people suffering with mental disorders is a step in the right direction but we have to look at ourselves as officers as well. This will assist in emotionally bulletproofing us for our jobs on the front line, but also in our personal lives. With more training and understanding of mental health issues hopefully this will move us closer to understanding and de- stigmatizing an all too common issue.
Take Care,
