Following a call to action to companies by The Climate Group's CEO Helen Clarkson earlier this year, the Head of our RE100 campaign with CDP, Sam Kimmins, blogs on the release of new guidance for businesses looking to implement a renewable electricity program throughout their supply chain.
Bold targets like 100% renewable energy are fast becoming the norm for many companies, with RE100 members at the leading edge through commitments to 100% renewable power.
This week, we announced our 116th RE100 member. Together, these 116 companies represent over 154 Terawatt-hour per year (TWh/yr) of renewable electricity demand annually, which is more than enough to supply Poland, Malaysia, or New York State.
To date, companies have mostly focused on addressing the carbon footprint of their own operations. But on reaching our 100-member milestone for RE100 in July this year, our CEO invited companies to "go "one step further".
RE100 members are starting to look beyond the RE100 commitment, to also encourage the uptake of renewable electricity within Tier 1 of their supply chains. This makes sense for leading companies, who recognize that it is their responsibility to minimize the climate impacts of the goods and services supporting their businesses.
It also makes sense for accelerating change in our global electricity system. According to CDP, indirect emissions from supply chains are typically four times greater than an organization's direct operational emissions. Extending renewable electricity purchasing into the supply chain therefore has the potential to create a multiplier effect in demand and investment.
The potential extends well beyond the simple arithmetic of additional demand. The supply chains of RE100 members stretch across the world, and represent TWh-scale electricity demand in countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Laos, where direct demand from our members is low. Adoption of renewable electricity by supply chain companies in these regions can send a strong signal to markets and policymakers in countries where coal currently features strongly in national growth plans.
By partnering with suppliers, companies can open opportunities for collaboration, aggregation of demand, increased purchasing power and knowledge sharing between different companies, sectors and parts of the supply chain.
Whilst the opportunity is huge, this is a new discipline and the 'rulebook' is yet to be written. Supply chains are often complex and difficult to navigate – and the bigger the company, the more this tends to be the case. Encouraging and empowering the supply chain of a large company is not simply a case of dictating or flicking a switch.
We have gathered the experiences and guidance of three leaders in our network – Apple, BT Group and IKEA Group – in a new RE100 report published today. We aim to show you the challenges that each of these face in rolling out renewable electricity across their supply chains, and how they are overcoming these challenges and demonstrating what is possible.
"We are well on our way to hitting 100% renewable worldwide," said Robert Williams, Head of energy supply, BT Group. "Going at this alone is not an option - the extensive knowledge and experience we've acquired is being used to help our partners and suppliers on their own carbon reduction journeys."
These companies are engaging their supply chains in renewables because they know that it makes long-term business sense. The technology is available, unsubsidized costs are competitive in many parts of the world, and they are ready to invest at scale.
And they're not the only ones moving on this. In September, Mars, Inc. announced it will invest US$1 billion to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its supply chain, including through renewable power. The majority of Mars' emissions – approximately 65% – come from its supply chain, which includes about one million employees.
And earlier this year, Walmart launched 'Project Gigaton', which asks suppliers to reduce GHG emissions by one gigaton – the equivalent of taking more than 211 million passenger vehicles off US roads for a year. We are now seeing a growing number of Walmart suppliers switch to renewable power.
If all of the companies in our RE100 network adopt a similarly strong approach, and influence others to do the same, we can create massive change closer to the speed commensurate with the challenge of delivering on the Paris Agreement and keeping global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius.
Knowledge sharing between companies, and between companies and their suppliers, will help many to overcome shared challenges, reduce duplication of effort, and accelerate the pace of change.
Following a successful workshop with RE100 members at RESource in Brussels in October, we will be actively assisting this process over the coming months with our partners in CDP Supply Chain and REBA.
In the meantime, whether you're a Supply Chain Manager, Head of Energy Procurement, or Chief Financial Officer, there are things you can do to start engaging your suppliers. We invite businesses around the globe to read our RE100 report and digest the following top tips:

What do 25 million people have in common? Daily heartburn.
The painful truth is that heartburn is very common. One important misunderstanding about heartburn is that it occurs when you have too much stomach acid. That isn't always the case! In fact, according to Jonathon Wright, MD of the Tahoma Clinic in Washington state, when stomach acid is measured in people who regularly suffer from heartburn (and GERD, or gastrointestinal reflux disease), it is almost always low, not high. Actually, a test Dr. Wright conducted found that over 90% of the study subjects had inadequate acid production by the stomach.
Feeling the Burn?
It can feel as though someone lit a fire in your chest and burning its way up. Antacids and over the counter drugs suppress the acid to help relieve the burning sensation, but these are only momentary relief. Don't just blanket the symptoms, not to mention the long-term dangers and possible damage from constantly suppressing your digestive juices. Take these suggestions and get long-term relief.
Keep a diary. Write down what you've eaten and when your heartburn symptoms occur so you can pinpoint which foods are your triggers.
Watch what you eat. Pay close attention to the pattern and avoid specific foods that trigger your heartburn. Common food triggers are peppermint, caffeine, sodas, citrus, tomatoes, onions, and high-fat foods.
Eat more fiber. This will keep your digestive tract healthy and moving so you can process food efficiently.
Reduce your portion sizes. Try eating five or six small meals a day, rather than three big ones. Eating too much at once is a big heartburn trigger because your digestive system can't keep up, leading to a backup.
Timing is everything. Stop eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime so your stomach has a chance to empty before you lie down.
Watch how you eat. Eat slowly, taking smaller bites and chew well.
Lose weight. Excess abdominal fat can press against the stomach, forcing acids up into the esophagus.
Toss the cigarettes. Smoking can reduce the effectiveness of the LES (lower esophageal sphincter), the muscle that keeps acids in the stomach.
Loosen your belt. Tight clothes put added pressure on the abdomen and digestive organs.
Tilt up. Put wood blocks under your bed to raise the head about 6 inches.
Boost your HCL. Reinforce your natural digestive juices (hydrochloric acid) with a supplement that will aid in your body's natural digestive process.
Foods as Remedies
Aloe Vera Juice. Its cooling nature isn't just effective topically. It can cool down the stomach and provide heartburn relief. An important note: You should only use aloe vera juice that has been specifically prepared for internal use.
Apple Cider Vinegar. Stir 2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into ½ cup of water or apple juice and drink immediately after each meal. The acidity can help bring relief within minutes.
Apples. Even a slice of apple can reduce the burning sensation by balancing the acid in your stomach. It has been known to work in as little as 5 minutes. (Quick tip: Braeburn or Gala work best.)
Bananas. Their natural enzymes and fiber content work as gentle digestive aids. You can eat either fresh or dried bananas.
Fresh ginger. One of the oldest remedies for heartburn, ginger, can be added to food when it's cooked, eaten raw, or consumed as a ginger tea.
Even though heartburn is always an unpleasant experience, an effective natural remedy doesn't have to be!
Please note: If you have frequent problems with heartburn, see a doctor, as it may be a more serious condition.

What is it?
The Pista is a sensationally good mid-engined Ferrari, and one that is far more approachable than the big, scary numbers on the spec-sheet might suggest. This you'll already know, having read Matt Prior's dispatch from Maranello.
But now we have the £252,765, 710bhp 488 Pista on home soil for the first time. It's an opportunity to see if a machine only a slither slower than the 950bhp LaFerrari around Fiorano really works in tightly hemmed environment better suited to the likes of the Ford Focus RS, Lotus Elise et al.
As a quick reminder, this is the successor to the 458 Speciale, 430 Scuderia and 360 Challenge Stradale. It's a hell of a bloodline, because each of those cars has been achingly good to drive, listen to and generally be around not only when they were launched but to this day.
Like the Speciale, the Pista drives its rear wheels through a seven-speed Getrag dual-clutch gearbox and Ferrari's latest electronic differential. Along with some savant-like brake-intervention tuning, the latter helps Ferrari's Slip Angle Control software assist you, the driver, balance yaw angles of up to 30 degrees. At the same time, 0-124mph is claimed to take only 7.6 seconds. The point is that Ferrari wants this car to be fun as well as fast.

We're living in an era of loneliness. It's on the rise in the U.S.; according to a recent survey, more than half of Americans qualify as lonely. And yet, in public spaces, people rarely make eye contact or (God forbid) strike up conversations. If this sounds like you, there's a good reason to kick your antisocial habit. You might be happier if you start talking to strangers.

Wikis > Survivors
People who survived the catastrophe, either in groups, by hiding underground or in a fortified place together, or singly, through various means. These hardy people lived to see and tell tales of extreme difficulty and privation. Families were dispersed, loved ones were lost.
The stress of their experiences often left them unable to cope with society, or to accept the presence of another human being.
But survivors thrive best together. New ways of community were needed, hence the call…

Dear Security Industry Professionals:
Being in the security industry, we work intimately with and appreciate the contribution that police, firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs offer to our communities. Over the years as we have work closely with public safety professionals, we have wanted to find ways to support them outside of our respective professions. The Youth Scholarship Program gives us the chance to honor their families and their futures and the future of Florida's wonderful communities.
This year, we were able to give $4000 to three bright and talented young ladies. We want to do even more next year. Please help us by making your contribution of $100, $500 or $1000– or any value that you can give– today.
Steve Paley, Past President and Rick Seymour, Vice President and Chair of the Youth Scholarship Committee
Donate now via PayPal, or contact firstname.lastname@example.com to make your contribution.
In 1996, the Electronic Security Association launched the Youth Scholarship Program. The program was created to promote goodwill among the electronic life safety and security industry and police and fire officers by providing college scholarship awards to their deserving sons or daughters.
Through the Youth Scholarship Program, thousands of dollars have been given to students attending higher education institutions across our country. In fact, more than $457,000 has been given out by the participating states and ESA.
Today, ESA and participating Chartered Chapter Associations are involved in the scholarship program. The first-place winner of each state's program is automatically considered for the national ESA Youth Scholarship Program awards.
Students who reside in a participating state must enter their state-level scholarship program to be considered for the national awards. Students who reside in a state without an ESA chapter or in a non-participating state should submit their applications directly to ESA. ESA will select one of these students as the national nominee to compete with the state winners. This student will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
Each state program awards scholarships at various levels; check with your participating ESA chapter for information on specific state award levels. ESA awards a $7,500 scholarship to the first-place winner, and $2,500 to the second-place winner.
Awards are based on a combination of academic achievement, national test scores, extracurricular participation and the essay. In addition to completing the application and submitting the appropriate documentation, each student must write an essay explaining "What it means to me to have my parent or guardian involved in securing our community."
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the scholarship program, which is funded by ESA Florida members and supports children of first responders. Recipients Mackenzie Nalven, Nicole Fertig, and Brooke Soloway will receive scholarships toward their college education.
From Palm Harbor Florida, Ms. Nalven will receive $2,500 to attend Stetson University. Ms. Fertig from Lake Worth Florida will receive $1,000 to continue her education at Florida Atlantic University, and Ms. Soloway from Weston, Florida will receive $500 to attend Florida State. As the first place winner, Ms. Nalven will also be entered into the national ESA award program for an opportunity to win up to $8,500 in scholarships.
As children of law enforcement officers, this year's three recipients know what it is like to live each day with a mix of pride of their fathers' profession and fear for their fathers' lives. They also know the important role first responders play in protecting their communities, and are inspired by their fathers' careers. "We are proud to support the education of these young women," said Roy Pollack, president of ESA Florida. "It's the least we can do to give back to the families of the officers that have done so much to protect our communities."
With a 3.98 unweighted GPA, Ms. Nalven is second in her graduating class. She credits her father's career in the police department as helping to shape her character. "My father has taught me to follow the rules," she said. "And I am extremely grateful for that. I live a disciplined life, and I am who I am today because my father is a law enforcement officer." Ms. Nalven also believes her father's career has helped her family grow closer. "The highlight of my day has always been sharing dinner with my parents."
ESA of Florida secretary and board member, Chuck Bellissimo, coordinated a surprise presentation for Ms. Nalven on Friday, June 10 at the Pinellas County Sheriff's office where her father, Lt. Lawrence Nalven, works. "Although her attendance and community performance qualified her to win this award, the words in her essay were very moving," said Bellissimo.
Already attending Florida Atlantic University through the early admission program, Ms. Fertig is one of the top students at her school. Although she and her family now live in Florida, her life was changed when she was three years old and living in New York State. On September 11, 2001, Ms. Fertig realized the significance of her father's profession. Upon receiving her award, Ms. Fertig expressed her appreciation in a thank you video.
ESA of Florida vice president, Rick Seymour presented Ms. Soloway with her check at the Palm Beach County Sherriff's office where her father, Alan Soloway, works. "It was my pleasure to present Ms. Soloway with her check. She is a remarkable young woman and greatly deserving of this scholarship," said Seymour.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of ESA of Florida, we want to introduce you to three remarkable young women who are beginning their college careers this fall with support from ESA of Florida. Skylar, Cassidy and Casey have never met and live in different areas of the State– but there are a few things that unite them. All three students will attend the University of Florida, were raised by a first responder, and are high achievers. Please read about them and what they have to say about bring raised by a First Responder.
Thank you to every member of ESA of Florida for supporting the Youth Scholarship Program through your dues, your extra contributions, and your participation in our fundraising efforts. And please don't put your checkbooks away, because we'll be starting to raise funds for next year's gifts.
Steve Paley, President and Rick Seymour, Vice President and Chairman of the Youth Scholarship Program of ESA of Florida
Sanibel Island, FL– Ms. Casey Jackson will begin her studies at the University of Florida this fall with a $500 gift from the members of the Electronic Security Association of Florida. Ms. Jackson is a high-achieving honor roll student, dedicated community volunteer, and daughter of Lt. Chris Jackson who is a veteran of the Sanibel Island Fire Department. ESA of Florida Board Director and President of Executive Electronics of Southwest Florida Captain John Minerva presented the scholarship gift on June 15th at the Sanibel Island Fire Department.
"Some of my fondest childhood memories are standing up in front of the classroom with him [on Career Day], grinning from ear to ear while practically drowning in his bunker jacket," Ms. Jackson wrote in her application. It is clear that Ms. Jackson was raised with the values of a first responder; she has served over 250 volunteer hours while working 20 hours per week, playing varsity basketball, and earning the highest of SAT scores.
In the search for scholarship opportunities, ESA of Florida's Youth Scholarship Program was one of very few dedicated to children of public safety professionals.
"I was accepted into the University of Florida with the intention of attending one of the best physical therapy programs in the country. My ultimate goal is to work with veterans, specifically amputees," Ms. Jackson wrote.
"We also gave her a nice sound system with speakers, maybe she'll take it to the beach and have a little fun once in a while," said Mr. Minerva. "We're proud to help young people like Ms. Jackson and we're proud of our Youth Scholarship Program; every dollar counts and we hope to keep raising more to support talented, generous young people like her."
Sanford, FL– Ms. Skylar Bauman will begin her studies at the University of Florida this fall with a $1000 gift from the members of the Electronic Security Association of Florida. Ms. Bauman is a high-achieving honor roll student, dedicated community volunteer, and daughter of Lt. Matt Hall who is with the Sanford Fire Department. ESA of Florida Board Director and President of Commercial Systems Group Dino DeRose presented the scholarship gift on May 28th at the Sanford Fire Department.
"Through every late night call to put out unreasonably ignited dumpsters to birthing babies, he has invested in me," Ms. Bauman wrote in her application. It is clear that Ms. Bauman was raised with the values of a first responder; her contributions to society are numerous and benefit many areas of the community. In addition to school-based clubs such as National Honor Society, Drama Club, Yearbook Copy Editor and Girls State Senate, Skylar has offered her time and her knowledge to American Cancer Society, Special Olympics, various senior centers and faith-based groups.
In her search for scholarship opportunities, ESA of Florida's Youth Scholarship Program was one of only three organizations Ms. Bauman found that was dedicated to children of public safety professionals.
"Having a parent working to secure the community… means I have not just one but an entire shift and clan of role models who are looking out for my, the community's, and the future's best interests," Ms. Bauman wrote.
"Our company motto is 'Protecting People and Facilities.' Being at the firehouse to deliver the award, I realized how close our company mission is to that of a first responder," said Mr. DeRose. "We're proud to help young people like Ms. Bauman and we're proud of our Youth Scholarship Program."
Sarasota, FL– Ms. Cassidy Dossin will begin her studies in Biology at the University of Florida this fall with a $2500 gift from members of the Electronic Security Association of Florida.
Ms. Dossin is a high-achieving honor roll student, dedicated community volunteer, and daughter of Ernest Dossin who is firefighter and paramedic for Sarasota County. Steve Paley, President of ESA of Florida and Rapid Security Solutions presented the scholarship gift on June 19th at Sarasota Fire Department Station 10.
"Having a firefighter dad is better than any superhero… We played dress up to be like him when we were little, and I still strive to follow his example of service today," Ms. Dossin wrote in her application. Her contributions to society are numerous and benefit many areas of the community. In addition to serving as FFA President, Ms. Dossin has volunteered at the Florida State Fair, with Meals on Wheels, and at the Hillsboro County Animal Shelter. Ms. Dossin has also earned awards throughout her high school years such as Brandon High School Athena Young Woman of Promise Award, first place in Florida Dairy Judging, and an FFA Gold Award at the National Convention.
ESA of Florida's Youth Scholarship Program is one few programs dedicated to solely to the children of public safety professionals.
"I have learned from my dad's example; if you enjoy something, and you want it, you have to work for it. There are no shortcuts… I work hard to meet the responsibilities of those who depend on me" Ms. Dossin wrote.
"We're proud to give financial support to the children of first responders" said Mr. Paley. "Electronic Security Association of Florida created the the Youth Scholarship Program to invest in young people like Ms. Dossin to honor the investment her parents have made in the community. It's clear that this young lady was raised with the values of community service and we wish her the best in her biology studies."

Appropos of Mitchell's post yesterday, it is impossible to talk about abortion without bringing up the subject of eugenics. Just as Cormac McCarthy's quote shows that the discussion of abortion invariably brings you to euthenasia, Ron Radosh's New York Sun review of Jonah Goldberg's new book Liberal Fascism demonstrates that no analysis of abortion can be complete without understanding the barbaric - and essentially racist - topic of eugenics. Here's an excerpt of Radosh's review:
Turning to what he calls liberal racism, Mr. Goldberg offers readers his finest chapter. It is a devastating picture of how liberals adopted eugenics — a basic part of Nazi doctrine — which was not, as some liberal intellectuals have argued, an outgrowth of conservative thought. Fans of Margaret Sanger, perhaps the single most important feminist hero of the 20th century, will never be able to think of her in the same way. Mr. Goldberg dissects her hidden views of eugenics. A socialist and birth-control martyr, she favored banning reproduction of the "unfit" and regulation of everyone else's reproduction. She wrote, "More children from the fit, less from the unfit — that is the chief issue of birth control." She opposed the birth of "ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens." Her words reveal her motive in advocacy of birth control. She sought to remove "inferior" people from being born to poor people, whose mothers by definition were "unfit." Sanger's partisans in Planned Parenthood, the group that stemmed from her work, will be shocked to learn that her publication endorsed the Nazi eugenics program, and that Sanger herself "proudly gave a speech to a KKK rally." That was not surprising, since she clearly viewed blacks as inferior. Hence her "Negro Project," in which she sought to urge blacks to adopt birth control.
This isn't a secret, mind you. Or, rather, it's the dirty little secret of the "pro-choice" movement. But Santayana once pointed out what happened to those who don't remember history, so it might be a good thing to remind people of it. Remind them the next time someone refers to Planned Parenthood as a "women's health clinic." Remind them when the breast cancer Race for the Cure comes around in May, sponsored by the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and remember that the Komen Foundation contributes to Planned Parenthood. Remind the supporters of Planned Parenthood and the Komen Foundation (and other organizations supporting PP) of this inconvenient little truth, and ask them to defend it.
If they can.

|Summary, etc.:
"It is 1914, and the world has been on the brink of war so often, many New Yorkers treat the subject with only passing interest. Eliza Ferriday is thrilled to be traveling to St. Petersburg with Sofya Streshnayva, a cousin of the Romanovs. The two met years ago one summer in Paris and became close confidantes. Now Eliza embarks on the trip of a lifetime, home with Sofya to see the splendors of Russia: the church with the interior covered in jeweled mosaics, the Rembrandts at the tsar's Winter Palace, the famous ballet. But when Austria declares war on Serbia and Russia's imperial dynasty begins to fall, Eliza escapes back to America, while Sofya and her family flee to their country estate. In need of domestic help, they hire the local fortune-teller's daughter, Varinka, unknowingly bringing intense danger into their household. On the other side of the Atlantic, Eliza is doing her part to help the White Russian families find safety as they escape the revolution. But when Sofya's letters suddenly stop coming, she fears the worst for her best friend. From the turbulent streets of St. Petersburg and aristocratic countryside estates to the avenues of Paris where a society of fallen Russian émigrés live to the mansions of Long Island, the lives of Eliza, Sofya, and Varinka will intersect in profound ways. In her newest powerful tale told through female-driven perspectives, Martha Hall Kelly celebrates the unbreakable bonds of women's friendship, especially during the darkest days of history."-- Publisher

Meet the Pastor!
I feel blessed, privileged and occasionally overwhelmed to have been called to Word and Sacrament ministry in the ELCA. Parish ministry offers an amazing mix of joys, sorrows, challenges, and triumphs, all (thankfully!) led and sustained by the Holy Spirit. It is in and through the local congregation that lives are transformed, faith is deepened, and calls to various forms of work in God's world are discerned. As a pastor, it's amazing to have a front row seat to all of that, and more!
I began my ministry with Christus Lutheran in December 2012, having previously served with Grace Lutheran Church in Green Bay, Wis. and St. John Lutheran Church in Ashwaubenon, Wis. My credentials include an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison (Go Badgers!) and a Master of Divinity degree from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minn. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband, Corey, and our son, Marcus, as well as reading, exercising, playing with the pets, and knitting. Not all at once, of course!
Christus is a vibrant, welcoming community of faith; I feel blessed to be a part of it and I trust you will too.
In Christ,
Pastor Jen Christenson

Start: 195 lbs
Finish: 145 lbs
Aaron was 195 pounds with a 44 inch waist and a smoker who could barely walk without losing his breath. After a few unsuccessful attempts to lose weight and cut back on smoking, Aaron decided to meet with Dr. Lara.
With the method and support of Dr. Lara and his team, Aaron not only lost 50 pounds, but learned to to live life to the fullest. He has now quit smoking, joined a gym, and has an extremely positive outlook on life. He is proud to say that he can now run a mile, which he hasn't been able to do since he was a child. Aaron recommends that you stop trying all those diets and "change your lifestyle with Dr. César Lara."

Mr. Speaker, two months ago when I asked a question about modern war criminals in Canada the parliamentary secretary to the minister of immigration stated: "Action is being taken. These people will be removed. They will not be allowed to stay in this country". We now learn that when Canada generously opened its doors to genuine refugees from the war in Bosnia a number of suspected war criminals were accepted as refugees.
Can the minister inform the House what action is being taken against those suspected war criminals and when they will be removed from Canada?

Yesterday I had the joy of announcing TDR's first event, a petting zoo that I am co-hosting with O'Reilly, a technical publisher, at their digital publishing conference. This morning I got an email that promised to make the event 10 times more interesting than before.
The image at right shows the work of Nick Chen. That's not a dual screen ereader; it's a pair of single screen devices that are designed to work cooperatively over a wireless connection. And yes, he can network 3 or more devices together.
I last covered Nick back in May, and his gadgets are worth seeing even more now. And that's why I'm happy to say that he has greed to bring them to the petting zoo.
If you'd like a teaser of the ereaders in action, there's a video after the break. (If this video doesn't make you want to attend, I don't know what will.)

Britain's independent media regulator has pulled the plug on Iran's state-funded Press TV, claiming its editorial policies are controlled by Tehran.
The London-based news channel says the move was politically motivated and that the body, Ofcom, was acting at the government's behest.
Ofcom says its decision was based on Press TV's failure to declare that Tehran rather than London was its editorial base when it was granted the licence.
The British Foreign Office denied the government was involved but added that it had been concerned about allegations Press TV had broadcast interviews with people making confessions under duress.
The roots of the Ofcom decision lie in a ruling last month to fine Press TV for airing an unauthorised interview with an imprisoned Newsweek journalist.
The move is likely to further escalate already soaring tensions between Iran and Britain.

According to Variety.com, creator/director Ava DuVernay has received a straight-to-series order from the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) for "Cherish The Day," a romantic drama anthology.
Each season of the series will chronicle the romance of one couple, with each episode spanning a single day. The narrative will unfold to reveal significant moments in a relationship that compel people to hold true to the ones they love, from the extraordinary to the everyday. The show is scheduled to debut in winter 2020.
"OWN is home," DuVernay said. "I'm honored to create television for a network headed by an artist with spectacular vision and unbridled passion for the stories that we want to tell."
"Cherish The Day" will be the second series DuVernay delivers to OWN. The series adaptation of the novel "Queen Sugar" was DuVernay's first for the network. She directs and also serves as executive producer on the series. The fourth season will premiere in June.
DuVernay created "Cherish the Day" under her recently announced overall deal with Warner Horizon Scripted Television. She will executive produce "Cherish the Day" along with Oprah Winfrey. Tanya Hamilton, who has directed for "Queen Sugar," will be the showrunner, an executive producer, and will also direct the series premiere. "Queen Sugar" executive producer Paul Garnes will also executive produce.
"Ava is a visionary storyteller," said Winfrey. "She brings so much care, so much heart, so much love to the art she creates. I'm excited to continue collaborating together with our very first anthology series for OWN."

adherence to that truth which is mighty above all things. Thrones may have crumbled into dust and nations vanished because they have disregarded the imperishable nature of that truth; yet, Masonry continues to survive in the 21st century.
Masonry's purpose has always been to lead mankind in the way of being brothers. We should all be proud that our society has an enviable record for its observance of the Biblical expression of Abraham, "Let there be no strife between me and thee." In its character and influence, Masonry became a supporter of the reformation contending for liberty and faith, and against prejudice, and, wherever greatest liberty, consistent with moral and civil duty is found, Masonry was a pioneer. It is also true that wherever intolerance, bigotry or anarchy reigns, Masonry has its most implacable enemies. However, the shafts of malice that they may hurl will fall harmlessly at our feet and the fraternity will move steadily onward, extending its benign influence over the moral and fraternal realm of thought, performing deeds of beneficence & mercy for the distressed of its own household. Masons lead by example.
During lean times, we must never capitulate by thinking that membership losses are inevitable. They are not! With the diverse talents of our members we can and must embark on growth. Brethren, we must practice unstinting devotion and methodical discipline, commitment and dedication to building membership and be at the forefront of bringing fine, worthy and well-qualified men into our great Order.

No we're not even close to this step… Miles to go. So you've read it aloud to some kids who have picked holes in your plot. Go back and fix them. Then read again (aloud or to yourself). Once this is done it's time to get some professional help. Now that doesn't mean paying a fortune. I just think getting someone to assess or edit your story can be of great assistance. You can join a writing group (online or in person) or pay someone. Certainly at some stage I will pay for a professional edit. This is essential because there is nothing worse than finding some glaring error like a he instead of a she when reading a really great book. Your book is going to be great, so give it the best chance.
When you get other people to read your book remember their opinion is exactly that… Listen, take heed and change what you need to change to make your book perfect. If you don't agree don't change it. I like to have a conversation with myself (yes I'm nuts), but put yourself in the reader's position. Me critical and reflect on how your story can be perfect.
Some advice when choosing someone to edit or assess your stories:
1. Best not to choose family members. They are either too polite or unnecessarily harsh – either way there are arguments. Leave them until the book is published. They buy it and will love it because you wrote it!
2. Find someone who you trust to be honest. I have had my books assessed and edited by Sally Odgers. This is great because I read her books all the time. My kids love them, so I know her writing style. She's also affordable and is an excellent editor. So find someone you can trust.
3. If all else fails and you can't send your book off that's fine, maybe you're not ready. Do a writing course, join a group, get to know other authors.
4. Most importantly believe in yourself!
You are one step closer to submitting that book – awesome, have fun!

You can get glammed up and be au naturel by incorporating green beauty products into your wedding makeup
Jacqueline Parker, owner and lead stylist at Beauty Reawakened, says to start by swapping out the makeup you use most with an organic or eco-friendly alternative. "First, find replacements for products that you use directly on the skin and near your eyes, like foundation and mascara," says Parker. "Many of my clients switch their foundation to a clean product and notice a significant difference in their skin's hydration, texture and overall look." Parker, co-owner of The Green Beauty Collective with Amanda Gangoso, recommends Elate Clean Cosmetics and Sappho Organic Cosmetics, two B.C. makeup brands. "We use both of these products in our bridal makeup kits and have the full lines for customers to test and purchase at our shop in East Vancouver."

Japanese artist Yoko Ono has collaborated with Opening Ceremony to design a menswear collection inspired by her late husband, John Lennon.
BY Olivia Lidbury | 21 November 2012
Photo: GETTY
A collection of drawings created as a wedding present for Beatles singer John Lennon in 1969 entitled "Fashions for Men" has inspired Yoko Ono's quirky foray into menswear design.
Concept store Opening Ceremony, which recently launched in London's Covent Garden, will stock the 18-piece collection from November 30. Highlights include suit trousers with a hand silhouette sewn over the crotch (approx £210), a jumper with eyelets cut out around the nipples and a battery-operated lightbulb bra which can be worn underneath said top (£160).
IN PICTURES: Yoko Ono's design debut for Opening Ceremony
Liverpool-born Lennon and Ono collaborated together on an album just weeks before he was assassinated in 1980. "I was inspired to create 'Fashions for Men' amazed at how my man was looking so great. I felt it was a pity if we could not make clothes emphasizing his very sexy bod," Yoko told WWD .
READ: Yoko Ono collaborates with Swarovski
She rather un-modestly continues: "So, I made this whole series with love for his hot bod and gave it to him as a wedding present. You can imagine how he went wild and fell in love with me even more."
Each piece from the collection, which also includes hoodies (around £50) and two styles of boots has a run of just 52 items. A softcover book comprised of Ono's drawings accompanies the collection, as well as sweatshirts and posters decorated with her sketches.
"We loved the idea of sort of celebrating the holidays with Yoko with this collection" said Opening Ceremony co-founder Carol Lim, while fellow founder Humberto Leon explained: "I think she just fell in love with John's body and wanted to show off all of the parts of his body that she loved. There's something so beautiful about that sentiment. And we've realized these designs in pretty actual terms of how she drew them."

|12. Joseph
| The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali) 13. The Thunder (Al-Rad)
by [[Author:|]]
|14. Abraham
13. The Thunder (Al-Rad)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1
1, Allah, am the Best Knower, the Seer. These are verses of the Book. And that which is revealed to thee from thy Lord is the Truth, but most people believe nor.

2
Allah is He who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see, and He is established on the Throne of Power, and He made the sun and the moon subservient (to you). Each one runs to an appointed term. He regulates the affair, making clear the messages that you may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.

3
And He it is who spread the earth, and made in it firm mountains and rivers. And of all fruits He has made in it pairs, two (of every kind). He makes the night cover the day. Surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.

4
And in the earth are tracts side by side, and gardens of vines, and corn, and palm-trees growing from one root and distinct roots they are watered with one water; and We make some of them to excel others in fruit. Surely there are signs in this for a people who understand.

5
And if thou wonderest, then wondrous is their saying: When we are dust, shall we then be raised in a new creation? These are they who disbelieve in their Lord, and these have chains on their necks, and they are the companions of the Fire; in it they will abide.

6
And they ask thee to hasten on the evil before the good, and indeed there have been exemplary punishments before them. And surely thy Lord is full of forgiveness for mankind notwithstanding their iniquity. And surely thy Lord is Severe in requiting.

7
And those who disbelieve say: Why has not a sign been sent down to him from his Lord? Thou art only a warner and for every people a guide.

begin="13:8"/>Allah knows what every female beats, and that of which the wombs fall short of completion and that which they grow. And everything with Him has a measure.

9
The Knower of the Unseen and the seen, the Great, the Most High.

10
Alike (to Him) among you is he who conceals (the) word and he who speaks openly, and he who hides himself by night and (who) goes forth by day.

11
For him are (angels) guarding the consequences (of his deeds), before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah's command. Surely Allah changes not the condition of a people, until they change their own condition. And when Allah intends evil to a people, there is no averting it, and besides Him they have no protector.

12
He it is Who shows you the lightning causing feat and hope and (Who) brings up the heavy cloud.

13
And the thunder celebrates His praise, and the angels too for awe of Him. And He sends the thunderbolts and smites with them whom He pleases, yet they dispute concerning Allah, and He is Mighty in prowess.

14
To Him is due the true prayer. And those to whom they pray besides Him give them no answer, but (they are) like one who stretches forth his two hands towards water that it may reach his mouth, but it will not reach it. And the prayer of the disbelievers is only wasted.

15
And whoever is in the heavens and the earth makes obeisance to Allah only, willingly and unwillingly, and their shadows, too, at morn and eve.

16
Say: Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth? Say: Allah. Say: Do you then take besides Him guardians who control no benefit or harm even for themselves? Say: Are the blind and the seeing alike? Or, are darkness and light equal? Or, have they set up with Allah associates who have created creation like His, so that what is created became confused to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme.

17
He sends down water from the clouds, then watercourses flow according to their measure, and the torrent bears along the swelling foam. And from that which they melt in the fire for the sake of making ornaments or apparatus arises a scum like it. Thus does Allah compare truth and falsehood. Then as for the scum, it passes away as a worthless thing; and as for that which does good to men, it tarries in the earth. Thus does Allah set forth parables.

18
For those who respond to their Lord is good. And as for those who respond not to Him, even if they had all that is in the earth and the like thereof with it, they would certainly offer it for a ransom. As for those, theirs is an evil reckoning and their abode is hell; and evil is the resting-place.

begin="13:19"/>Is he who knows that what is revealed to thee from thy Lord is the truth like him who is blind? Only men of understanding mind --

20
Those who fulfil the pact of Allah, and break not the covenant,

21
And those who join that which Allah has bidden to be joined and have awe of their Lord, and fear the evil reckoning.

22
And those who are steadfast seeking the pleasure of their Lord, and keep up prayer and spend of that which We have given them, secretly and openly, and repel evil with good; for such is the (happy) issue of the abode --

23
Gardens of perpetuity, which they will enter along with those who do good from among their fathers and their spouses and their offspring and the angels will enter in upon them from every gate.

24
Peace be to you, because you were constant -- how excellent is then the final Abode!

25
And those who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation, and cut asunder that which Allah has ordered to be joined, and make mischief in the land, for them is the curse, and theirs is the evil end of the Abode.

26
Allah amplifies and straitens provision for whom He pleases. And they rejoice in this world's life. And this world's life, compared with the Hereafter, is only a temporary enjoyment.

begin="13:27"/>And those who disbelieve say: Why is not a sign sent down to him by his Lord? Say: Allah leaves in error whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him) --

28
Those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Now surely in Allah's remembrance do hearts find rest.

29
Those who believe and do good, a good final state is theirs and a goodly return.

30
Thus We have sent thee among a nation before which other nations have passed away, that thou mightest recite to them what We have revealed to thee, and (still) they deny the Beneficent. Say: He is my Lord, there is no god but He; in Him do I trust and to Him is my return.

31
And if there could be a Qur'an with which the mountains were made to pass away, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak -- nay, the commandment is wholly Allah's. Do not those who believe know that, if Allah please, He would certainly guide all the people? And as for those who disbelieve, disaster will not cease to afflict them because of what they do, or it will alight close by their abodes, until the promise of Allah come to pass. Surely Allah will not fail in (His) promise.

begin="13:32"/>And messengers before thee were certainly mocked, but I gave respite to those who disbelieved, then I seized them How (awful) was then My requital!

33
Is, then, He Who watches every soul as to what it earns? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah! Say: Name them. Would you inform Him of that which He knows not in the earth, or of an outward saying? Rather, their plan is made fair-seeming to those who disbelieve, and they are kept back from the path. And whom Allah leaves in error, he has no guide.

34
For them is chastisement in this world's life, and the chastisement of the Hereafter is certainly more grievous. And they have no protector against Allah.

35
A parable of the Garden which is promised to those who keep their duty: Therein flow rivers. Its fruits are perpetual and its plenty. Such is the end for those who keep their duty; and the end for the disbelievers is the Fire.

36
And those to whom We have given the Book rejoice in that which has been revealed to thee, and of the confederates are some who deny a part of it. Say: I am commanded only to serve Allah and not associate anything with Him. To Him do I invite (you), and to Him is my return.

37
And thus have We revealed it, a true judgment, in Arabic. And if thou follow their low desires after that which has come to thee of knowledge, thou wouldst have against Allah no guardian nor protector.

begin="13:38"/>And certainly We sent messengers before thee and appointed for them wives and children. And it is not in (the power of) a messenger to bring a sign except by Allah's permission. For every term there is an appointment.

39
Allah effaces what He pleases and establishes (what He pleases), and with Him is the basis of the Book.

40
Whether We let thee see part of that which We promise them, or cause thee to die, thine is but the delivery of the message, and Ours to call (them) to account.

41
See they not that We are visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? And Allah pronounces a doom -- there is no repeller of His decree. And He is Swift in calling to account.

42
And those before them planned indeed, but all planning is Allah's. He knows what every soul earns. And the disbelievers will come to know for whom is the (good) end of the Abode.

43
And those who disbelieve say: Thou art not a messenger. Say: Allah is sufficient for a witness between me and you and whoever has knowledge of the Book.'

It's easy to get lost in the never ending struggle to save money. Most people cut back their spending until they can cut back no more. At that point, they feel like they've lost the battle.
They can no longer reduce their expenses, but they still want to be able to save more or balance their budget.
Don't worry! There is still a way to save more. You just have to increase your income. Despite what some may think, that may actually involve spending money in order to make more money.
I'm here to tell you that's okay!
Spend Money On Yourself To Make More Money
It may sound horrific and a bit backwards, but at certain times, you must actually spend money on yourself to increase your potential.
So how can you do this and actually make more money? There are a few ways you can spend money on or invest in yourself!
The first way is to get a certification, license or degree that will allow you to increase your income. These items may allow you to get a promotion you've been waiting for or get a new job that is the next step up the ladder.
Regardless of what you choose, just make sure that the license, certification or degree that you go after will actually increase your income and chances of better employment.
There is no worse feeling than spending money obtaining a certification to find out it is essentially worthless.
Another way to invest in yourself is to spend money learning a new skill. You don't have to get a certification to learn a new skill. One example is learning to speak Spanish. Try to find a skill that you want to obtain that will increase your income.
Take a look at those who make more than you in your profession and see what skill those successful people have mastered that you haven't. Aim to learn how to master that skill and you could be well on your way to making more money.
The third way to invest in yourself to make more money is to invest in your image. Whether we like it or not, many people judge based on looks. This is more predominate in certain professions, but it does happen.
You may need to invest in nicer clothing or a new look. Just don't confuse investing in your image with getting things you want. Take a look at what is actually needed to improve your image and look for cost effective solutions rather than the pricier looks that you may just happen to want.
Spend Money On Equipment To Make More Money
You don't always have to invest in yourself to make more money. You can spend money on other things, such as equipment, to help your income grow. This is especially true if you run a business that requires equipment.
So what are some ways to thoughtfully spend money on equipment? If you're a photographer, you might make more money by buying a more updated digital camera. The better pictures the camera takes, the less time you'll have to spend editing them!
Another thing to consider updating is your computer. If you spend precious minutes waiting for your computer to load programs or perform tasks, it might be time to upgrade. If you just shave a few minutes off each day and you value your time at a decent rate, chances are you'll save time with a new computer. Then, spend that wasted time making more money!
Finally, consider updating anything that could be holding you back in your business. Same thing goes for those missing pieces of equipment that could vastly increase your capacity or potential income.
Just make sure to do an analysis to ensure that your new fancy piece of equipment will pay for itself. Don't stop there though. Make sure it gives you your necessary return on your money, too.
Spend Money On Your Business To Make More Money
Spending more money in your business doesn't have to just be done by spending money on yourself or equipment. You can spend money on many other factors of your business to help you make more money!
If you're selling a product or a service, getting more customers is a great way to make more money. You might have to spend some money to advertise your business to obtain those customers.
Spending money to make more money in your business isn't a problem, as long as you get a decent return on that money. Remember, you need to earn more profit than the money you spent on your advertising, not just revenue.
Software is another great way to make more money in your business, assuming it will increase productivity or sales. Some software will give you more time which you can then use to go make more sales. Other software can help you improve your relationship with your customers for increased sales.
Whatever software you buy, make sure you're not just buying it for fun. Make sure it has a real business purpose.
If you don't want to spend money on software or advertising, you might want to spend your money by outsourcing or hiring a new employee. By hiring someone that can get the same job done at a lower price than the person currently doing the job, you're increasing your margins.
Money Isn't Just For Saving
Your time is valuable. If you can outsource your easier tasks to someone that you can pay less than the amount you value your time at, it's a win win for you and your new contractor or employee.
Spending money directly clashes with the thought process of cutting back on your expenses, but sometimes increasing your expenses is actually a good thing. Don't shriek in horror the next time someone suggest you spend money on yourself, equipment or your business to increase your income.
It's a viable solution and it can pay off tremendously, often making back several times the amount of money you spent!
What's your favorite way to spend money to make more money? Do you like to invest in yourself, equipment, your business, or something else altogether? Let me know in the comments below!

This paper investigates the existence of asexuality or ace identity. The aim of the paper is twofold, to examine the emergence of a seemingly impossible identity and to consider the consequences of an asexual space in a sexual discourse. Since the term 'asexual' proves problematic in its dependence on the existence of sexuality, the first half of the paper attempts to renegotiate a definition of asexuality, focusing on the power of the term "ace". I then explore the work of three exemplary authors, Anne Fausto-Sterling, Lillian Faderman, and Michael Foucault, who prove successful in constructing an alternative discourse to the dominant sexual regime. Using their work, I argue that not only does an asexual space help individuals articulate their existence; it also creates resistance against the dominant power regime. Outside of academia, I argue that technology takes the reins, as the Asexual Visibility and Education Network's (AVEN) online presence continues to raise awareness and expand the asexual community.

Hello and Good Evening everyone! I hope that you had a splendid day! As you can tell by the title of my blog post, I'm about to post something about the late Strom Thurmond. Every now and then I'll deviate a little from my writing to post about a recent documentary I had seen. Are you ready? Let's go.
Strom Thurmond was a well-known segregationist, governor and senator who had a deep dark secret. What was his secret? He had a child with his 16 year old Black maid Carrie Butler when he 22 years old. What struck me the most about this documentary is how his daughter, Essie Mae Washington, didn't come out and reveal that he was her father until he passed away at the age of 100 years old in 2003. She was 78 years old at the time.
You may be wondering, "Why did she wait so long?" In her own words, she didn't want to embarrass him. Although he was a self-proclaimed segregationist, he secretly cared for Essie Mae throughout most of her life up until the day he died. He paid for her college education and would often send her money. There were times when others around him became suspicious about their relationship because of his racial and political views. At one point, someone joked that she looked a lot like him. When you see Essie Mae, it's clear as day that she was his child because she looked just like him.
What Strom Thurmond didn't know is that many Black people had already suspected that she was his child because of how much she looked like him and the amount of free access she had to him. Truth be told, he wasn't the only one who did this. You'd be surprised how often things like that took place and still takes place. There were a lot of well-known public figures with the same hidden secret so this doesn't come as much as a surprise to the overwhelming majority of Black people.
I personally can't understand how he could live his life the way he did knowing that he had a half Black child. I find myself wondering why Essie Mae waited so long to reveal that she was his daughter. Then again, I have to realize that it was her right. I don't have the right to question her. She doesn't owe me or anyone an explanation and I can't do anything but respect her decision. In February 2013, Essie Mae Washington passed away and from what I could gather from this documentary, she had no regrets as to how she lived her life.
Until next time…

But the production company is still looking for new partners
Their press release reads:
"Sky deciding to not proceed with the planned TV revival of BLAKE'S 7 is obviously disappointing, but the development process has resulted in the dynamic reinvention of this 'branded' series. As Sky were the minority broadcaster, there is a huge opportunity for investment in a TV series that is fully developed, has genuine global appeal and has exciting 360 degree exploitation opportunities. With much praised scripts from lead writers Richard Kurti and Bev Doyle (Going Postal) and 60% of the finance already in place, by anyone's standard we have pulled together a compelling package. We are confident that this reboot of Blake's Seven has the creative and commercial credentials that will enable us to find a partner with the vision to recognise the strength and enduring appeal of the show and the opportunity it represents to produce a bold new drama series with significant international appeal."
Time to fish around down the back of the sofa.

This week, we're putting up a few brief tutorials on the game's control scheme and travel systems for our newer players.
Development Updates
One of the things that made the original Freelancer such an attractive game was how it made the excitement of space travel and combat more accessible through the use of a more simplified control scheme than many of the older space combat sims, like X-Wing or Freespace.
Rather than requiring a joystick and a complicated control scheme, Freelancer allowed you to fluidly move with just the mouse and a few basic controls. The control scheme for Freeworlds: Tides of War is a bit different from vanilla Freelancer, but it still maintains the user-friendliness of the original.changed the controls from the original Freelancer a bit, the control scheme still
Today, we'll be going over the basic keyboard layout, as well as cruise-mode, how to use hyperspace, and how to dock with stations and planets.
Keyboard Layout
The image above shows you the default layout for keys that we've set up in the game. These can be changed at any time through the options menu in-game. For your convenience, I will list the controls and how the function below. Please note that this list does not include everything on the image above, but covers everything you'll need to move around and interact in the game world.
- MOUSE – Orient Ship in Free Flight / Left Click + Drag to Direction to Orient Ship in Non-Free Flight
- SPACE – Toggles Free Flight On/Off
- W / Mousewheel Up – Increase Throttle
- S / Mousewheel Down – Decrease Throttle
- A – Roll Left
- D – Roll Right
- X – Cut Throttle to 1/3
- TAB – Afterburner
- Shift + W – Full Sublight Speed / Cruise
- Slider Goes from 100% – 400%. Hold to increase to maximum.
- M – Match speed of target
- Mouse 2 / Right Click – Fire weapons
- Mouse 3 / Mousewheel Click – Open Radial Menu
- C – Launch Countermeasures
- Q – Launch Missile
- Shift + Q – Launch Torpedo
- Shift + E – Launch Magpulse Missile
- Z – Cycle Fire Modes
- B – Tractor Beam (To pick up debris and dropped cargo)
- H – Turret View
- J – Initiate Hyperspace Jump (Must be above 90% throttle)
Please view the keyboard layout for further details. Many other functions in the game are also accessible through point-and-click with the mouse, though there are keyboard shortcuts for most functions.
How To Use Cruise Mode / Full Sublight
Cruise mode, or as we call it, full sublight, is a means of pushing your vessel to up to 400% throttle, or 3x faster than your normal 100% throttle.
The T indicator on the bottom center of your HUD is your current throttle. When in normal flight at max speed, this bar will appear as above.
When you hit Shift + W to enter cruise, the bar will progressively raise and change color until you've hit the maximum of 400%. You must hold Shift + W until you reach the maximum. Cruise works on a sliding scale, rather than staged. You may theoretically hold cruise at any percentage point between 101% and 400%. Your manueverability will get worse the faster you go, and over 300% you will no longer be able to fire your weapons.
How To Use Hyperspace
In the original Freelancer, intra and inter-system travel were handled by tradelanes and jumpgates, respectively. Freeworlds has replaced both those methods with our custom hyperspace system. It's a bit more involved to use, but once you get the hang of it, it gives you a lot more freedom of movement.
First, there are two types of hyperspace jumps:
Preset, preplotted jumps. These show up as constant, shining-blue points in-game. See below:Custom, self plotted jumps. These show up as white-shining points in-game. See below:To use a preplotted jump, simply orient your ship to the point so that your vessel is pointing at it dead-center, go above 90% throttle, and hit J to enter the jump. These jumps ignore gravity-well restrictions and do not require time to calculate. One further consideration: you must be within 20k of the preplotted buoy before you will be able to jump.
To create a custom jump, you must follow a certain procedure, which I will now describe:
Step 1
Open your nav map and right click on your desired jump location. Your ship is represented by the blinking blue spaceship icon. Once you've right clicked, select the waypoint button (it's the button to the right of the white square).Once you've set the waypoint, it will appear on your navmap similar to the below image:
Be careful not to plot jumps too close to any stellar bodies, as these will have gravity wells which custom jumps cannot intersect. The best advice is to plot your jump a safe distance away from planets, moons and stars, and attempt to plot the jump. If it allows you to plot, it's a valid course, if not, repeat the steps and try again.
Once you've plotted your course, close the nav map and open the radial menu by clicking and holding your middle mouse button (mousewheel button). This brings up the menu as seen below. Drag up to the calculate jump option and release the button.
If your jump is valid, the game will plot a white, pulsing point like the one below. You will see a percentage ticker on the right-hand side of the point that will begin going up. It is advisable to wait until this ticker hits 100%, as that means your jump is completely stable and will be a straight line. However, you can hit J to jump at any time (as long as you're above 90% throttle), but the jump will be progressively more challenging to navigate (more twists and turns in the tunnel) the closer the percentage is to zero.
Once you've jumped, you will enter the hyperspace tunnel, as seen below. The white display on the right side of the screen will show you a preview of your hyperspace course. At 100%, this will be a straight line. Anything below 100% will show the twists and turns coming to face you, to give you some degree of preparedness in a more difficult jump.
Also worth noting is that when you are in hyperspace, you need to stay inside the tunnel. Hitting the walls can eventually toss you out of hyperspace somewhere along your course and can damage your vessel.
To complete a jump, simply fly the course until the tunnel comes to an end. Your ship will automatically revert back to realspace in front of your intended location, as seen below:
Docking With Planets And Stations
Finally, that brings us to docking with planets and stations. Freelancer originally handled docking automatically. One would simply get close enough to a station or docking ring, hit dock, and the rest would be handled by autopilot. We prefer a more hands-on approach to docking.
Docking with stations is a relatively simple affair. As in the image below, target the station you intend to dock with, and hit the dock button, or F3. Begin manuevering closer to the station.
You will see, as illustrated in the next image, a line of white brackets that denote your docking path.
Maneuver your vessel so that it is inside the brackets. The game will automatically drop your speed to a third of your normal throttle. Proceed through the brackets until the endpoint and the game will transition to the docking screen. Any deviation from the path can cause your ship to collide with the station. So be careful!
Planetary docking is a bit trickier, but once you get the hang of it, is not too difficult. Manuever close to the planet and hit the docking button, or F3, as below.
As in the next image, the game will provide you a long, curving path to the planets surface. Once again, you must carefully guide your ship through this path without deviating outside of the brackets.
Once you've reached the end, the game will transition to the planetary docking screen. Also worth noting is that your throttle is not capped at a third for planetary landings, so you may go faster if you like, but at your own risk. If you deviate from the path at any time, the landing may fail and you could damage or destroy your vessel.
That concludes the tutorials for now. Please let us know if you'd like any of these, or other game topics, to be covered in more detail in another development blog.

One possible plan includes Iraqis voting within six months for a transitional
government that would help draft a new constitution and assume larger executive
powers before full elections some time later.
That would change the administration's approach at the United Nations where
two months ago senior officials said there would be no elections before a new
Drafting and ratifying a new constitution could take years and would almost
certainly extend past next year's U.S. presidential election where the economy
and Iraq will be major campaign issues.
The White House now says its approach in Iraq must be flexible. As the military
campaign has evolved to fight changing threats, so too, it's argued, the political
approach must change to accelerate the return to self-rule at a time when the
CIA reportedly believes support for the Iraqi opposition is growing.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, President Bush said Iraqis want
to be more involved in governing the country and he wants to help them."
Our goal, of course is to continue to work with those Iraqi citizens who understand
that freedom is a precious commodity, those who understand that there is a hopeful
life possible, in a part of the world where a lot of hope has been diminished
in the past," said President Bush.
The president again said coalition forces will defeat those responsible for
continuing violence that has now claimed the lives of almost 400 U.S. soldiers.
"The goal of the terrorists, whether they be Baathists or Mujahadeen fighters,
or al-Qaida-type fighters is to create terror and fear amongst average Iraqis,
is to create conditions where people are just so fearful for their lives that
they cannot think positively about freedom," emphasized Mr. Bush.
The president's linking Iraqi violence with the al-Qaida terrorists blamed
for the September 2001 attacks in the United States is part of the administration's
strategy to make the war in Iraq the central front in the broader fight against
It's a theme picked up by coalition allies as Italian Defense Minister Antonio
Martino said Wednesday's truck-bombing that killed at least 18 Italians in
the southern city of Nasiriyah was carried out by the same people responsible
for the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.
Following a White House meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney, British
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said accelerating Iraq's political process works
alongside taking the fight to the enemy.
"A strategy for dealing with terrorism has to involve intense security action
alongside political and social processes and that is exactly the strategy on
which we are involved," he said.
Secretary Straw's visit to Washington comes ahead of President Bush's trip
to London next week where he is expected to face large protests over the U.S.
occupation of Iraq.
