Turbo Turtles — Turtonator-GX in Standard
Turtonator-GX just burst onto the scene in the Expanded format, now it's time to see what it can do in Standard!
09/12/2017 by Caleb Gedemer
This article brought to you by CCGcastle.com The best place to get your Pokémon singles!
Hey everyone, welcome back to 60cards. Since we last met, I played in the Fort Wayne Indiana Regional Championship, where I finished 5/3/1. I took home 30 Championship Points, and while I was disappointed in my finish, it was nice to see that the deck I played, Night March, ended up winning the event. That event was conducted in the expanded format and is still very relevant, but the next big expanded event won't be for a little while.
For now, I'll be focusing on the standard format, since most league cup events are being held in that format, and in addition, the next upcoming regional championship is going to be played in standard as well. Hartford, Connecticut is a new regional championship location, as is the format that's going to be played, so it's going to be exciting to see what happens from all angles!
A format without the legality of VS Seeker is going to be a sight to be seen, and I'm very happy about the card's rotation. While it was nice and all, it prevented players from properly conserving resources, and encouraged sloppy play. The card added a larger element of luck to the game, and without it, the game should almost indefinitely be more balanced and fair.
One of the first decks I started tinkering around with, in the new format, was a Turtonator-GX deck, something that also coincidentally placed well in the expanded Indiana regionals. While the deck is quite different in the standard format, it doesn't make it any less powerful.
Burning Energy is a card you probably weren't expecting to read about in this article, but you will be! I think the card couples amazingly with Turtonator-GX, and without Silent Lab or Hex Maniac in the format anymore, there isn't much stopping Turtonator-GX from being the powerhouse that the game designers clearly wanted it to be. Without further ado, let's talk about Turbo Turtles in the Standard format!
Table of contents
Volcanion decks have evolved a lot over time, from playing Max Elixir, to not, and then back again. Most recently, however, the addition of Turtonator-GX has garnered a bit of attention. While the deck does still play Volcanion-EX, the volcano is more of a sidekick, since it is generally just used as a support Pokémon using its Steam Up ability. Bright Flame is an incredible attack, swinging for 160 damage right off the bat with no damage modifiers. After a couple uses of Steam Up, and maybe a Choice Band or Fighting Fury Belt (depending on which one you play), you'll be taking one-hit knockouts left and right!
Burning Energy is what makes this deck tick in the standard format since the card pool does not include Blacksmith like it does in expanded. With a single Burning Energy attached to a Turtonator-GX, you'll essentially be using Bright Flame for a single energy drop each turn. A first turn Kiawe can load up a Turtonator-GX for the first couple turns, so getting that combination off immediately is amazing.
In this type of a deck, I like to play Starmie in the Standard format. If you can set it up, you'll have a never-ending supply of fire energy to keep getting your Turtonator-GX to hit the numbers it needs for one-hit knockouts. Overall, this strategy is simple, and without many ways to lock abilities outside of Garbodor in the standard format, this deck is a very safe play at tournaments!

Card Explanations
4 Turtonator-GX GRI 18
This guy is the star of the deck and something that's worthy of four slots. Your top first turn play is a Kiawe drop of four fire energy onto a Turtonator-GX, so having multiple Turtonator-GX that you can draw into helps to increase your odds of having that combination. As the main attacker in the deck, you usually want to attack with three of them in a game. Having the fourth is to improve your starting potential with the card, and to make sure that you can use your attacker of choice throughout the whole game.
3 Volcanion-EX STS 26
Steam Up has a big role to play in this deck since it can get Bright Flame soaring to new heights. That said, prizing one could be disastrous if you decided to only play one. I like having three because while you may not ever need all of them, having the guaranteed option of having two on your bench at a time is too much to pass up. Volcanic Heat is also still a great attack, so keep that in mind, too.
3 Tapu Lele-GX GRI 60
Without VS Seeker in the format, having many outs to supporter cards is important. Not only that, Wonder Tag is just downright awesome in general. Playing three of these will give you the option to use it multiple times in a game, and help you hit it on your first turn to achieve the Kiawe play that you'll be hoping for.
1 Volcanion STS 25
While Volcanion's Power Heater is most certainly overshadowed by the likes of stronger attacks, such as Nitro Tank GX, it still has a place in almost any fire deck, including this one. You can use it as the seventh prize in matchups where the prize race matters. Power Heater is such a nice attack to be able to access, so in a fire deck, it makes sense to at least play a single copy!
1 Staryu BKP 25
You need a Staryu so that you can Evolve into Starmie, and the one from BREAKpoint is your best bet. With its free Retreat, you can use a Guzma and promote it, and this also makes for a good starter, too.
1 Starmie EVO 31
Space Beacon is amazing in any deck playing Volcanion-EX, since it gives you easy access to using Steam Up. Not only that, but it can be a great way to recycle Energy after they're discarded with Bright Flame, which makes a world of a difference in this deck.
3 Scorched Earth
You're going to playing a lot of fire energy, and getting them into your discard pile can be pretty sweet so you can power up the full effect of Nitro Tank GX. Drawing extra cards is swell too, especially in a deck that requires very little to do what it needs to do. However, these are some of the more replaceable cards in this list, and I'm on the fence about their inclusion.
4 Professor Sycamore
In the new standard format without VS Seeker, I like maximum consistency with almost every supporter card. Sometimes you're just forced to discard them, so having multiple for backup later in the game is going to make a huge difference
One of these could easily become a Lillie or a Sophocles, but I still think, for now, playing four N is superior. Again, remember, having maxed out counts of the best supporter cards in the game in the new standard format is super important for a multitude of reasons.
3 Guzma
Two could also do the trick, but having three gives you higher odds of drawing them early and having access to them in the late game. A fourth could have merit, but will probably prove luxurious after testing.
2 Kiawe
You will probably only use one of these a game, but making sure you don't Prize it will be super important, so I recommend playing two copies. Kiawe on your first turn is going to be fantastic, so you should almost always dig for that play if you can.
1 Acerola
Acerola is a great option for decks that use Steam Up, too, since you can pick up a damaged Pokemon with Fire Energy on it and then use those Energy to Steam Up. Not only that, but you'll be able to heal that Pokemon, and get some Prizes off of the board for your opponent.
4 Ultra Ball
Four Ultra Ball is even more important now in Standard, since without VS Seeker, each Ultra Ball can become a Tapu Lele-GX if you want, which is a Supporter card out, and very nice to have.
4 Max Elixir
This deck can take a huge lead in the early game, and in the late game, you'll want to find other outs to getting more Fire Energy into play. Some games you'll only need one or two Turtonator-GX powered up to win the game, so having ways to play additional Energy down is a big plus.
3 Float Stone
An Escape Rope or Switch instead of one of these is a potential option, but Float Stone is generally better in most cases. You'll want to switch your Active Pokemon into an attacker, which will usually be Turtonator-GX. With three, you'll have better chances of hitting one in the early game, and getting what you want into the Active position sooner than later.
3 Fighting Fury Belt
Choice Band is an option for these three slots, but Fighting Fury Belt is pretty nice to have against Gardevoir-GX. A Turtonator-GX will be pretty hard for your opponent to knock out when you're equipped with a Fighting Fury Belt, so the extra 40 HP can make it so that your opponent will have to dig for a Field Blower to take a big Knockout. The extra 10 damage is usually obsolete, as is the extra 30 from Choice Band. The only situations where the Choice Band damage can matter are when you're unable to use Steam Up, and would rather just drop a Tool card to make up for it.
2 Field Blower
Garbodor and Garbotoxin still remain in the Standard format, so you're going to need to play Field Blower in order to have a fighting chance at winning tournaments. Field Blower can also remove Fighting Fury Belt from your opponent's Pokemon, and that way, you'll be able to take easier Knockouts, which can be huge.
10 Fire Energy
A higher count of these could be useful for more consistent Steam Up drops, as well as hitting Max Elixir, but I've had success with just ten of them for now.
4 Burning Energy
These are an unusual inclusion in this deck, but I really like them. Turtonator-GX is an amazing attacker, and with little to no downside of using Bright Flame, Burning Energy are insane. Maxing the count out maxs you more likely to draw them early, and use a handful of Bright Flame attacks with no regrets.
Other Considerations
A Ho-Oh-GX or two could be a solid backup attacker in this deck. It would provide you with a non-Fire Weakness in matchups like Greninja BREAK, as well as against Volcanion-EX decks. This is probably one of the weakest options for this deck, so I haven't been considering it very heavily.
Choice Band
Choice Band instead of Fighting Fury Belt is something I've been thinking about a lot. I'm honestly not sure which is better right now. Matchups might play a big role in deciding, as each of them have their own set of merits depending on what deck your opponent is using.
Fire Energy
Yes, more of them! Steam Up is awesome, and so is Scortched Earth. Having access to more Fire Energy could be wonderful, to keep things going along smoothly. Did I mention it would improve your Max Elixir odds, too?
- 3 Very Favorable
- 1 Favorable
- 3 Slightly Favorable
- 5 Even
- 3 Slightly Unfavorable
- 1 Unfavorable
- 0 Very Unfavorable
Alolan Ninetales-GX | Even
Alolan Ninetales-GX looks to be quite strong in the upcoming Standard format. Along with the non-EX/GX Alolan Ninetales, the deck can do surprisingly well against traditional Pokemon-EX/GX decks, since Alolan Ninetales has its Aluminous Barrier Ability. Anyways, Turtonator-GX can have a bit of a rough time with it. With only a single copy of Volcanion (although you can definitely up the count), all a Ninetales player has to do is knock out that lone Volcanion, and then that player should cruise to victory, since Alolan Ninetales will be immune to all of your attackers.
Some players at a lower level might play many Pokemon down other than Alolan Ninetales, and if they do, then you'll have another out to winning the game. Don't expect that to happen much, though, since most competitions will be stiff. The Water typing of Alolan Ninetales-GX in general can be challenging in of itself. With Aqua Patch, your opponent can set up his or her field of attackers very quickly, so you'll have to do the same to match up evenly.
To match up with an Alolan Ninetales-GX deck effectively, you'll need to build up at least two Turtonator-GX to attack with. In addition, you'll need two Volcanion-EX down for their Steam Up Ability. Bright Flame with two Steam Up uses can take a one-hit Knockout on an Alolan Ninetales-GX, so be sure to have the setup you need to win. When dealing with the regular Alolan Ninetales, it's best to use Volcanion's Steam Artillery with a Fighting Fury Belt, or just a single Steam Up drop to take a one-hit Knockout.
Darkrai-EX / Darkrai-GX | Slightly Favorable
Darkrai-EX decks are a lot faster now with the inclusion of Darkrai-GX, but that doesn't stop Turtonator-GX from using Bright Flame for one-hit Knockouts with ease. You're going to be taking the first one-hit Knockouts of the game, so as long as you can keep up the tempo required to stay ahead on Prizes, you should be able to win. If you can use a Kiawe on your first turn onto a Turtonator-GX, you'll essentially already have "four Prizes" available to you.
With four Energy on a Turtonator-GX, you'll have the capability to take two one-hit Knockouts on two of your opponent's Pokemon-EX/GX, and that will also slow his or her setup down drastically. Darkrai-EX decks rely on keeping multiple Darkness Energy in play, and you'll set the pace of the game early, so you're opponent will be on the ropes to keep up with the pressure you're putting on.
Make sure to get multiple Turtonator-GX into play, so that you can use Max Elixir to build up another one on the Bench. With Fighting Fury Belt, it's very unlikely that your opponent will ever take a one-hit Knockout on any of your Pokemon in the early game, so there shouldn't be too much stress there. Having two Volcanion-EX down is important, so that you can use Steam Up twice to take a one-hit Knockout on a Darkrai-EX with a Fighting Fury Belt of its own. This is a matchup where Choice Band would be nice, so keep that in mind.
Garbodor / Drampa-GX | Slightly Favorable
Even though your opponent will have Garbodor with Garbotoxin, you should be in good shape to win. With a couple Field Blower, all you need to do is time your drops of them in combination with a turn where you can take a one-hit Knockout on one of your opponent's Pokemon-EX/GX. The key to this matchup is building up attackers early with Kiawe, and limiting your Item usage.
Drampa-GX is going to be your opponent's main attacking starting off, so you'll need to deal with it first. Berserk can't take a one-hit Knockout on a Turtonator-GX without the use of Professor Kukui, and most deck lists don't even include that card! That said, your opponent will have an incredibly hard time taking down one of your Turtonator-GX, and you should be able to take at least four Prizes with each one you attack with.
This matchup, too, is one where Choice Band could be useful. With it, you can take down a Drampa-GX without using Steam Up at all, which has some obvious merit to it. Try switching to Choice Band if you have any difficulty with this matchup!
Garbodor / Espeon-GX | Slightly Favorable
This one is similar to the Drampa-GX version, but it should be a little more tough. Again, try to limit your Item card usage by relying on Kiawe early, and getting a quick lead. With a Fighting Fury Belt and a Steam Up, you can take a one-hit Knockout on an Espeon-GX, so as long as you can do that, you should be in good shape.
Garbotoxin is the biggest threat in all of the Garbodor variant matchups that you'll need to eliminate, or at least mitigate. Field Blower is your key to doing this, so holding onto them for later in the game to take Knockouts is advantageous.
If all goes well, and you time your Field Blower uses appropriately, you should be able to win this game by capitalizing on an early lead, and finishing strong since you can simply build up another Turtonator-GX on your Bench while setting up.
Garbodor / Golisopod-GX | Favorable
This matchup is a breeze, since your opponent is playing Golisopod-GX as his or her main attacker. While Garbodor still gets an inclusion, your opponent's deck is most certainly based around Golisopod-GX. By using your Fire type attackers, you'll make it so that your opponent can't effectively use Golisopod-GX, and you should be able to take many cheap Prizes. Again, you need to limit your Items, because if you don't, then you could still manage to lose this matchup, although it's incredibly unlikely.
Garbotoxin isn't as big of a deal in this matchup, since you're already taking one-hit Knockouts on all of your opponent's Pokemon, simply because of Weakness calculations.
All things considered, you should win this matchup every time, unless something goes horribly wrong. Golisopod-GX and its glaring Weakness to Fire are going to be your opponent's downfall, so make sure to just take it easy, and let the cards play themselves as they come.
Gardevoir-GX | Even
This matchup used to be miserable, since your opponent could play Silent Lab or Hex Maniac, but now, without either of those cards existing in the Standard format, you can roam free with your Abilities in this matchup. With a Fighting Fury Belt attached, all you need are two Steam Up uses to make Gardevoir-GX eat a one-hit Knockout from Bright Flame. You can do this immediately if you can Kiawe onto a Turtonator-GX, and from there, if you have Burning Energy down you'll be able to keep attacking with no downside.
Your opponent's only hope is to simply trade Prizes, but you should almost always win that trade since you'll be getting ahead quicker. Most Fire decks of old played lower counts of Max Elixir, but since this deck plays a full set, you can build up multiple backup attackers and continue your lead into the late game.
On top of all of that, Gardevoir-GX needs eight Energy in some combination, or seven and a Choice Band, in order to take a one-hit Knockout on a Turtonator-GX wearing a Fighting Fury Belt. This can be pretty hard, especially when you're putting on the pressure right away with powerful Bright Flame attacks.
Golisopod-GX / Tapu Koko | Very Favorable
Golisopod-GX with Garbodor was a favorable matchup, so what can be make a matchup with Golisopod-GX even more favorable? No Garbodor, or any other formidable attackers, that's what! 'pod and its Fire Weakness are just going to get smoked in a game with a Fire deck, and you should have no problem winning whatsoever.
Without Vaporeon in the format anymore, since it rotated out with the rest of the cards in Ancient Origins, there aren't any existing splashable techs that your opponent will be able to play that can deal with Fire Pokemon. Tapu Koko can help Golisopod-GX and its attacks take Knockouts, since Flying Flip can soften things up, but that's not all too effective, since the Prize trade will still be in your favor since you'll be taking more consistent Knockouts.
There's little you can do to mess this game up, unless you simply forgot to attack, or something foolish. Get excited if you find yourself facing up against this deck at a tournament with any Fire deck, in general!
Greninja BREAK | Slightly Unfavorable
I didn't assign this matchup a worse rating, simply because Greninja BREAK decks are even more inconsistent now, with the loss of Dive Ball from the Standard format. Inconsistencies taken into account, that means you'll be able to sometimes get a lead on Prizes, and be able to run away with the win from there. Not only that, but Turtonator-GX swings for 170 damage with a Fighting Fury Belt, which is the magic number to take a one-hit Knockout on a Greninja BREAK, it just so happens.
Most Fire decks are going to rely on Volcanion-EX to attack with, but since Turtonator-GX is the star of the show here, you should be able to fend off Greninja BREAK decks a little more easily. You're going to take an early lead on Prizes, almost guaranteed, and that said, as long as your opponent misses a one-hit Knockout of his or her own in the game, you might even be able to win!
Water Weakness hurts a lot, but like I said, speed is everything. If your opponent doesn't get an optimal setup, you should be able to run away with the win. Fighting Fury Belt can make it harder for your opponent to take one-hit Knockouts, so Giant Water Shuriken drops will matter more, and your opponent won't have the opportunity to set up multiple Greninja BREAK if you're taking Prizes quickly. This matchup is closer than you'd expect, although you generally don't win, even still.
Ho-Oh-GX / Salazzle-GX | Slightly Unfavorable
Your opponent's deck aims to get an early lead with Ho-Oh-GX and its powerful attacks, and then finish the game with Salazzle-GX after he or she has taken a handful of Prizes. This matchup is relatively even, but your opponent's almost guaranteed approach with Salazzle-GX can seal things up. As long as he or she can score four Prizes with one or two Ho-Oh-GX attacking, then Salazzle-GX will come in late and swing another Pokemon-EX/GX aside for the win.
You can combat this by trying to power up three Turtonator-GX, but that can be frustratingly hard. Salazzle-GX is a much more cost-efficient attacker than Turtonator-GX, so its use in the late game is unparalleled.
You'll want to sacrifice something up to start the game, preferably your Volcanion, to award your opponent with only a single Prize if he or she knocks it out. This matchup can become whoever goes first, and is able to Kiawe, because in doing so, you almost lock up a Knockout on the following turn. Generally speaking, Ho-Oh-GX is a little more of a clunky attacker than Turtonator-GX, but it's stronger. Salazzle-GX makes this matchup slightly for your opponent, but you can most certainly still win.
Lapras-GX / Toolbox | Unfavorable
This deck is super strong in the upcoming Standard format. It can go head to head with most of competition, and has nice options for a variety of decks. The matchup with Fire decks, including this one, however, is not too pretty. Water beats Fire in most cares, and this matchup is no different. Lapras-GX can be powered up quickly with Aqua Patch and Max Elixir, and in doing so, it can stop your field.
Some games you can trade back and forth, since you can take one-hit Knockouts on any of your opponent's Pokemon, but those games aren't common. You'll need to hit all of your Max Elixir, Kiawe at some point, and also take the first two Prizes.
If your opponent hits a lagging spot in drawing and accelerating Energy, you can most certainly take advantage of that. When you get ahead on Prizes and have another Turtonator-GX ready to attack, those are the games that you'll likely win.
Metagross-GX | Very Favorable
Metagross-GX has a Weakness to Fire Pokemon! This matchup is easier than any other matchup, even if your opponent plays Necrozma-GX. You're so much faster than your opponent in general, meaning you can take Knockouts on Metagross-GX before they're ever able to put their Abilities to work.
Your opponent is going to have plenty of easy two Prize Pokemon in play, and you should be taking those Prizes as early as your second turn, with assistance from Kiawe.
To make things even worse for your opponent, he or she won't even be able to take a one-hit Knockout on a Turtonator-GX with Metagross-GX, unless a Professor Kukui comes into play, and in addition, a Necrozma-GX will need three Psychic Energy on it with Prismatic Burst, and a Field Blower to discard your Fighting Fury Belt. There are so many things that are in your favor to win this matchup, so it's hard to lose it.
Rainbow Road (Xerneas) | Even
I'm not sure how competitive this deck will be this season, but I've heard a few people talking about it, so I think it deserves a matchup section in this article. Anyways, Xerneas can no long use Sky Field in the Standard format, and that said, it's going to be heavily reliant on dual-type Pokemon.
While your opponent will be able to do big damage, this matchup will be more focused around trading attackers. This means as long as you have Pokemon in play that can attack with the necessary total of Energy needed to do so, you'll be fine.
Xerneas is an attacker that is pretty hard to stream, since it does require two different Energy (a Fairy and a Double Colorless). As long as you can keep up with the pressure that's bound to come in the early game, you should be able to beat your opponent in the attacking department and fire things home with a late game N. You can lose, however, if your opponent starts more strongly than you and you're unable to get going with your own attackers.
Sylveon-GX | Very Favorable
After a bit of a reemergence in the Expanded format, Sylveon-GX might become a play for some players in the Standard format, too. The disruption concept is certainly powerful, and it gets a bit of a buff in Standard, too, since VS Seeker is no longer playable. That said, it can be easier to run some decks out of cards, but not this one! Turtonator-GX can use its Nitro Tank GX attack to replenish Energy to your Pokemon, as can Volcanion's Power Heater. Guzma can get you out of Pokemon traps where you can't attack, and Kiawe can put your opponent on a clock immediately.
You can simply Kiawe multiple times onto an attacker, and wait until you have the necessary pieces for a Knockout. Since Sylveon-GX has no way to lock your Abilities, they'll be no way for your opponent to stop you from taking one-hit Knockouts.
Vaporeon isn't even an option for your opponent anymore, either, so he or she doesn't really have any ways to counter you, outside of trapping a big Retreat Pokemon in your Active spot (which Guzma counteracts). You'll need to be very careless to mess this matchup up.
Turtonator-GX / Burning Energy | Even
The mirror match is very dependant on who gets to use Kiawe first. The first Bright Flame attack for a Knockout will be huge, but at the same time, Volcanion-EX plays can be crucial, too. The Water typing of Volcanion-EX can be super troublesome for your opponent, and get you a few cheap Knockouts in the process. A turn one Kiawe to Volcanion-EX is a formidable play, because it will allow you to instantly have something that can hunt down any of your opponent's Pokemon he or she may be powering up for a Knockout, provided you have a Guzma.
Burning Energy drops on Turtonator-GX are big, as well, since they will allow you to use Bright Flame multiple times. Most Fire deck mirror matches are relative crapshoots, based on who gets more lucky with Kiawe, Max Elixir, and such.
Your best bet is to try to rush the game, hit Kiawe early, and take as many Knockouts as you can before your opponent gets set up. There's not much time in a Fire mirror match for you to sit behind a regular Volcanion and set up more attackers, so I definitely would recommend being as aggressive as possible.
Vikavolt / Tapu Bulu-GX | Even
This is a deck that's flying under the radar right now, but I'm a big fan of it. However, I'm not the biggest fan of this matchup. Vikavolt can draw inconsistently, and in those games, you're going to win. Otherwise, it's a lot more tough. Tapu Bulu-GX and it's Nature's Judgement can take one-hit Knockouts on any of your Pokemon-EX/GX attacks, as long as your opponent has a Field Blower to remove a Fighting Fury Belt you may have attached, and if he or she can do that, your opponent is more likely to trade Prizes more easily than you.
Vikavolt has its built in consistency with Strong Charge, which is super attractive in this matchup. You have to rely on Max Elixir and an early Kiawe to build up Energy for attacks, so in this matchup, Burning Energy will be more important than ever. If you can get multiples down and your opponent can't take a Knockout on your Turtonator-GX, then you'll have a few free attacks for Prizes, and get the lead you need to win.
Knocking out your opponent's Vikavolt is a viable option too, with a Guzma play, because if you do, it can be super hard for them to get another online, and in the process, you can start taking more Prizes and get ahead. Tapu Bulu-GX isn't an efficient attacker at all without Strong Charge, so it will be integral to your opponent's strategy to have the Vikavolt down to have a shot at winning. This is a fairly even matchup, overall!
Volcanion | Slightly Unfavorable
Volcanion-EX being the main attacker of your opponent's deck is really going to hurt you. It's obviously Water type, as well as Fire, as I've mentioned multiple times already, so your main attacker, Turtonator-GX will be particularly susceptible to it. While you'll still be able to trade Prizes with Volcanion-EX, your opponent will have an easier time streaming them since he or she doesn't need to accompany attacks with Steam Up drops, and you will. This is another opening for Choice Band to be better than Fighting Fury Belt, so that's something I'm seriously considering changing.
With just having Fighting Fury Belt, you need one Steam Up for if your opponent doesn't have a Fighting Fury Belt of his or her own on a Volcanion-EX, and another Steam Up if he or she does. This can be troublesome, and is just more work that you have to do to take Knockouts, as opposed to the relative ease that your opponent has doing so.
If your opponent plays a lower Kiawe count, and can't use one quickly, then you can find openings to still win this matchup, since you can get an attacker going more quickly, and find yourself ahead on Prizes in no time. Overall, this matchup is doable, but generally unfavorable for Turtonator-GX.

OBJECTIVE To update information on workers in the petroleum industry engaged in the production of crude oil to determine whether the patterns of mortality have changed with 14 additional years of follow up.
METHODS All workers were employed at company production and pipeline locations sometime during 1946–94. The cohort now consists of 24 124 employees with an average of 22 years of follow up.
RESULTS The overall mortality, and most cause specific mortalities were lower than or similar to those for the general United States population. For white men (81% of the cohort), there were 4361 observed deaths and 5945 expected, resulting in a significantly lower standardised mortality ratio (SMR) of 73. There were significant deficits for all the leading causes of death in the United States including all cancers, cancer of the lung, stroke, heart disease, respiratory disease, and accidents. Slightly increased mortality was found for cancer of the prostate, cancer of the brain and central nervous system, and cancer of other lymphatic tissue. For benign and unspecified neoplasms, the SMR was 152 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 95 to 230). There was a significant increase for acute myelogenous leukaemia that was restricted to people who were first employed before 1940 and who were employed in production and pipeline jobs for >30 years. Overall mortality patterns for non-white men and women were similar to those for white men. Mortality patterns for white men were also examined by duration of employment, time first employed, and by job group.
CONCLUSIONS The results of the updated study showed a favourable mortality experience for crude oil production workers compared with the United States population.

Statistics from Altmetric.com
Although numerous epidemiology studies have examined the patterns of mortality in refinery workers and petroleum distribution workers, only one epidemiological study has been carried out on production and pipeline workers whose primary exposure was to crude oil.1 The report documented the known hazards associated with exposure to crude oil and employment in production. The cohort comprised more than 11 000 United States workers whose mortality experience was recorded from 1946–80. There were significant deficits in mortality from all causes of death combined, all malignant neoplasms, stroke, arteriosclerotic heart disease, respiratory disease, accidents, and lung cancer. Two causes of death had standardised mortality ratios (SMR) >100, thyroid cancer and benign and unspecified neoplasms; neither SMR was significant.
In this report, the period of observation was extended to the end of 1994, for a maximum follow up of 49 years. These additional 14 years of follow up allowed updated comparisons of additional causes and rates of death among crude oil production workers with those in the general United States population. The objective was to determine whether employment in production and pipeline operations with its potential exposure to crude oil and other possibly hazardous materials has had an effect on the mortality experience of these workers.
Materials and methods
Members of the original study cohort worked at production or pipeline facilities for at least 1 day between 1 January 1946 and 31 December 1980, were employed at one of these facilities for at least 6 months, and were employed by a participating facility either on their last day of employment or on the original study end date (31 December 1980).The study data collection and vital status follow up methods are detailed in Divine and Barron.1
The current cohort consists of the members of the original cohort plus people who met the same eligibility criteria by 31 December 1994. New members of the cohort who had ever worked at the participating locations were identified with information from the company's computerised personnel system. The work histories for employed members of the original cohort were updated until 31 December 1994 with the computerised personnel system. Information on new cohort members was obtained primarily from the computerised personnel system and from original records if early work history information had not been computerised. Members whose records lacked information on sex or race were assumed for the analysis to be men and white.
Each employee's complete work history was coded. When more than one job was held concurrently, all were coded with the same start and end dates, and the time was divided evenly among the jobs during analysis. Because of the many different jobs, jobs with similar responsibilities and potential exposures were grouped into larger categories chosen by a company industrial hygienist most familiar with producing and pipeline operations. These groups account for almost all of the jobs and are the same as those developed and used in the earlier report.1
The vital status of the cohort was updated to 31 December 1994 from company files when available, and otherwise from the National Death Index (NDI), the Social Security Administration Master Beneficiary Record file, or the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). People who were known to be alive in 1979 were assumed to be alive if no death record was found in the NDI to the end of 1994. Copies of the death certificates for deceased employees were obtained from company files when available or from the health departments in the states where the deaths occurred. A trained nosologist coded causes of death listed on the death certificates to the eighth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-8).
The last date of observation for a cohort member was defined as the date last employed if lost to follow up, the date of death if known, the date of the NDI search if known to be alive in 1979 or later, the date of the HCFA search if HCFA indicated the person was still alive, the date of the personnel system search for people still receiving pension payments, or the current study end date (31 December 1994) for those known to be alive as of 1 January 1995.
Patterns of mortality were analysed with the computer program developed by Monson.2
The program uses the observed and expected numbers of deaths for specific causes to calculate SMRs with the United States population as the comparison group and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) assuming a Poisson distribution for the observed frequency in the numerator of the SMR. Person-years of observation were counted from the date the employee accumulated 6 months of employment or the study start date, whichever came last, until the date last observed.
Total mortality was examined by race and sex. Because of the few non-white women (1.4% of the total cohort), patterns of mortality for all women were examined with the United States mortalities for white women as the comparison. Also, for white men, patterns of mortality were examined by duration of employment, by time first employed, and by job group. The small numbers in the other race-sex groups preclude making similar subgroup analyses.
The SMRs for white men for mesothelioma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukaemia by cell type, multiple myeloma, and all brain tumours, which are not available in Monson's program, were calculated in the same manner as in an earlier study of refinery, petrochemical, and research workers using the same mortalities.3
There were 24 124 people included in the study cohort (table 1) with 503 573 person-years of observation. Eighty six per cent of the cohort members were men, and 94% of the men were white. Ninety per cent of the women were white. Seventy six per cent of the total cohort were still alive, only 4.7% were lost to follow up, and death certificates were obtained for all but 1.9% of the known deaths. Because the cohort overwhelmingly consisted of white men (81%), the following descriptive statistics refer only to that group. Twenty two per cent of the cohort was still employed on 31 December 1994, and 36% were retired (33.7%) or on permanent disability (2.2%). Thirty three per cent were employed by the company at study locations for ⩾20 years. Thirty five per cent of the cohort was born before 1930, and more than 23% was first employed before 1950. Sixty eight per cent of the employees who had died were ⩾65 years of age at the time of death, and over half the deaths occurred since the previous study end date of 31 December 1980.
Table 2 shows the patterns of mortality by race and sex. For white men, 5945 deaths were expected, and only 4361 were observed giving a significant all causes SMR of 73. There were also significant deficits for all cancers combined (SMR 83), digestive system cancers (SMR 73), lung cancer (SMR 80), arteriosclerotic heart disease (SMR 74), stroke (SMR 74), non-malignant respiratory disease (SMR 68), and all external causes (SMR 59). For cancer of the prostate, cancer of the brain and central nervous system (CNS), and cancer of other lymphatic tissue, the observed number of deaths was similar to the expected number, but the SMRs were slightly increased, and SMRs >100 were also found for benign and unspecified neoplasms (SMR 152) and thyroid cancer (SMR 175).
For non-white men, a total of 114 deaths were expected and 53 were observed (SMR 44). There were deficits for many major causes of death such as all cancers combined (SMR 83), cancer of the digestive system (SMR 40), lymphohaematopoietic cancer (SMR 60), arteriosclerotic heart disease (SMR 40), stroke (SMR 59), non-malignant respiratory disease (SMR 38), and all external causes (SMR 49). There were non-significantly increased SMRs for cancer of the lung (SMR 132) and motor vehicle accidents (SMR 126). For all women, there were 198 deaths and 223 were expected giving a significant deficit for the all causes SMR of 89. There were deficits in mortality from arteriosclerotic heart disease (SMR 72), vascular lesions of CNS (SMR 88), and respiratory disease (SMR 59). For all cancers combined, the observed and expected numbers of deaths were similar. The SMR for cancer of the colon was significantly increased (SMR 197), and there were non-significantly increased SMRs for cancers of the digestive system (SMR 130), cancer of the pancreas (SMR 133), cancer of the cervix (SMR 157), cancer of the ovary (SMR 179), motor vehicle accidents (SMR 138), and suicide (SMR 206).
All further results apply only to the subcohort of white men. Table 3shows the patterns of mortality by duration of employment, and table 4shows them by time first employed: before 1940, 1940–1949, and after 1949. The patterns were similar for all of the groups regardless of duration or time of employment with significant deficits for most major causes of death. The SMR for cancer of the prostate for those employed ⩾20 years was significantly increased (SMR 129) as was the SMR for benign and unspecified neoplasms for those employed 10–20 years (SMR 296). For the groups by time first employed, there were no significant increases; however, mortality from cancer of the prostate and cancer of other lymphatic tissue was increased in the two earliest employment groups, mortality from leukaemia was increased in the earliest employment group, and mortality from benign and unspecified neoplasms was increased in all three groups. Trends by duration of employment and by time first employed were examined. The only significant trends were for external causes of death and for cancers of the digestive system by time first employed. There was no reason to think that these increases with later time of employment are likely to be related to employment.
Tables 5 shows the patterns of cancer mortality for those employed in the largest job groups for at least 5 years. These groups all had patterns of mortality similar to those seen for the overall cohort with deficits for the leading causes of death. For those employed in jobs with little or no potential for exposure such as managers, supervisors, and office workers, there was a significantly increased SMR for cancer of the brain and CNS (SMR 183). This group also showed non-significantly increased SMRs for liver cancer, prostate cancer, cancer of other lymphatic tissue, and benign and unspecified neoplasms. For those employed as pumpers in production, there were increased SMRs for cancer of the prostate, liver cancer, and benign and unspecified neoplasms. For those employed in maintenance, there were significantly increased SMRs for cancer of the prostate and benign and unspecified neoplasms. There were non-significant increases for leukaemia and cancer of other lymphatic tissue. For roustabouts (semi-skilled oil field labourers), there were increased SMRs for cancer of the prostate, liver cancer, benign and unspecified neoplasms, and cancer of other lymphatic tissue. For people employed in pipeline field jobs, there were non-significantly increased SMRs for cancer of the skin, cancer of the prostate, leukaemia, cancer of other lymphatic tissue, and benign and unspecified neoplasms.
There were only three deaths from mesothelioma in the cohort of white men and 8.2 expected for an SMR of 37. These decedents were first employed before 1 January 1960. Thirteen of the deaths from benign and unspecified brain neoplasms were brain tumours and 8.3 deaths were expected for an SMR of 135 (95% CI 84 to 207). When these were combined with the deaths from cancer of the brain and CNS, there were 50 observed deaths and 41.8 expected from all brain tumours for an SMR of 119 (95% CI 88 to 157).
Table 6 shows the results of the analyses of specific lymphohaematopoietic cancers. The number of observed deaths from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (lymphosarcoma, reticulum cell sarcoma, and lymphoma combined) was significantly less than expected with an SMR of 69. There were slightly more deaths from multiple myeloma than expected with an SMR of 122. The SMRs were calculated for the cell type specific leukaemias for categories where at least three deaths occurred. Mortality from acute lymphocytic leukaemia was the same as expected (SMR 104), and there was a deficit for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (SMR 52). Mortality from chronic myelogenous leukaemia was essentially the same as expected (SMR 94). For acute leukaemia and for unspecified leukaemia, mortality was non-significantly increased (SMRs 150 and 175, respectively).
However, there was a significant excess of deaths from acute myelogenous leukaemia (SMR 192) which was based on 16 deaths. The increase was restricted to those who were first employed before 1940 (SMR 374), and who were employed in production and pipeline jobs for at least 20 years (SMR 265). An examination of the work histories for these workers showed that most were employed as roustabouts (SMR 276), pumpers (all were also employed as roustabouts, SMR 280), or pipeline field personnel (SMR 247). These were the most common jobs for most of this cohort.
The patterns of mortality found in this updated study of workers engaged in the production of crude oil were similar to those found in the first analysis of this cohort.1 There was a more favourable mortality experience for the cohort compared with the United States population, and there were deficits for all of the leading causes of death in the United States including all cancers, heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, respiratory disease, and external causes of death. The only increased causes of death found in the general analysis of the cohort of white men were for thyroid cancer and for benign and unspecified neoplasms; these increases were not significant. The increase in thyroid cancer was found in the earlier analysis of this cohort,1 based on only four deaths. No additional deaths from thyroid cancer have occurred since 1980, and the SMR has decreased from 342 to 175. Over half of the deaths from benign and unspecified neoplasms were from benign and unspecified tumours of the brain. When these brain tumours were examined together with the brain cancers, the overall brain tumour SMR was only slightly increased. There was a significantly increased SMR for cancer of the brain and CNS but only for the unexposed group and this might be due to more complete diagnosis in this group.
The results of this analysis are consistent with those found in other studies of petroleum industry workers. In general, these studies have all shown a strong healthy worker effect with numerous significant deficits for most leading causes of death and few significant increases. The study results are also consistent with the conclusions of a meta-analysis of specific cancers in workers employed in various segments of the petroleum industry.4 Wong and Raabe found that petroleum industry workers had a significantly low cancer mortality for all cancer sites combined and for cancers of the digestive system, stomach, and lung. Similar deficits were found in this study. They also found mortality to be similar to that for the United States population for cancers of the skin, brain, pancreas, prostate, and kidney. Small increases for these causes occurred among various subgroups in this study, but the increases were not consistent nor were they linked with increasing duration of employment in the job subgroups.
The slight excess of brain tumours is not uncommon in studies in the petroleum industry. A similar small increase in brain tumours has been reported by Divine and Hartman3 in a large study of refinery, petrochemical, and research workers and by Satinet al 5 in a large cohort refinery study. Satin et al also noted that the brain is often a metastatic cancer site. A previous report on brain tumours in this same refinery cohort6 discussed the problems associated with diagnostic errors of brain tumours that may lead to increases in employed populations.
The meta-analysis of studies of petroleum industry workers by Wong and Raabe4 suggested that some petroleum workers, especially those first employed before 1940, might have an increased risk of leukaemia. A subsequent meta-analysis of leukaemia cell type specific results in petroleum industry cohorts7 did not show increased SMRs for acute myelogenous leukaemia or any of the other leukaemia cell types. However, a case-control study of leukaemia among petroleum workers at the Unocal Corporation8 found myelogenous leukaemia to be associated with work related to production in the oil and gas division of the company (odds ratio (OR) 2.0). The association was even stronger for those employed for >30 years in activities related to production (OR 3.9) and also for those with acute myelogenous leukaemia (OR 2.8). The researchers also found a consistent trend of increasing ORs with increasing duration of employment.
The analysis of leukaemia by cell type for the present cohort showed an increased SMR for acute myelogenous leukaemia among white men which was restricted to those people first employed before 1940 with at least 30 years of employment in production and pipeline jobs. These results are, therefore, similar to those found in the Unocal study. No information was available to describe oil field exposures in the early 1900s, but others have reported8 that personal hygiene was poor and that some oil field workers had heavy exposure to crude oil. In particular, there is no information about the benzene content of the crude oil over time or oil fields. Furthermore, it is not known whether benzene was used as a solvent or cleaning agent in oil field work in the past. Increased risk of leukaemia (for all cell types except chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) has also been associated with exposure to large doses of ionising radiation. Although there is potential for exposure to naturally occurring radioactive material in the production fields, there is no consistent evidence that the low levels of natural background radiation increase the risk of leukaemia.9
This cohort study of crude oil production workers has many strengths. The cohort includes >24 000 people whose mortality experience has been studied for 49 years (1946–94). Vital status is known for >95% of the entire cohort, and for >88% of the women. Only 89 of 4612 death certificates could not be found (1.9%). Also, the study includes information about the cohort members' complete work histories, and numerous analyses by job were performed.
The study does have its limitations. As with other mortality studies, it has the problems inherent with using the death certificate diagnosis for the cause of death—for example, diagnostic accuracy and specificity, and comparability of ICD codes over time. Mortalities vary over time and geographical location. Because this study covered many locations across the United States, the United States mortalities were used for comparison. Although the cohort was large, many of the analysis subgroups were small. Information about the specific chemicals associated with the jobs is not available, nor is there any industrial hygiene sampling data covering the first 35 years of the study. Jobs and units with similar responsibilities were grouped together for the analyses as a surrogate for exposures, but provide little information to link exposure and outcome.
The results of the update of workers engaged in the production of crude oil show a favourable mortality experience for these employees compared with the general United States population. Most causes of death in the study show either similar mortality or a significant deficit when compared with the general population. The overall 27% deficit in total deaths translates into an increased life expectancy of 3.7 years10 for these workers compared with white men in the general population of the United States. The few increases in various causes of death were not consistently found across jobs with similar exposures, nor did most rise with increasing duration of employment.
There was an apparent excess of death for some of the leukaemia cell type specific causes of death, including acute myelogenous leukaemia. The increased mortality from acute myelogenous leukaemia was found only in those people who were first employed before 1940 and who were employed in the production of crude oil for >30 years.

Hundreds of thousands of babies are to be vaccinated against a virulent stomach bug that can be so severe one in ten sufferers needs to be admitted to hospital, the Department of Health has announced.
All babies are to be offered two doses of rotavirus vaccine, given as a mouth drops by the age of four months, from next winter.
The bug is the main causes of stomach upsets in young children and causes around 140,000 diarrhoea cases a year in under fives.
It leads to hospital stays for nearly one in ten, around 14,000 of those who get it in the UK.
Experts welcomed the move saying rotavirus casues enormous amounts of suffering for children and puts pressure on the NHS during the busy winter months.
It is estimated that the vaccine will halve the number of vomiting and diarrhoea cases caused by rotavirus and there could be 70 per cent fewer hospital stays as a result.
The vaccine, Rotarix, made by GlaxoSmithKline, will be available for 840,000 babies each year. It is already used in USA, Australia, Austria, and Belgium.
The World Health Organisation recommended in 2009 that all children globally be vaccinated against rotavirus.
In America studies have shown that rotavirus-related hospital admissions for young children have been cut by more than two thirds since rotavirus vaccination was introduced.
The latest figures from the Health Protection Agency show that rotavirus cases are higher than expected for this time of year with laboratory confirmed cases up by a third compared to the average.
The report from the HPA said: "Rotavirus will particularly contribute to reported diarrhoea and vomiting illness in children aged under five and is often associated with outbreaks of diarrhoea and vomiting in nurseries and schools."
The addition of rotavirus will mean children are vaccinated against 11 diseases before the age of five, in ten separate jabs and two mouth doses of mouth drops.
There are also plans to introduce an annual flu vaccine for children aged between two and 17 from 2014, using a nasal spray.
Professor David Salisbury, Director of Immunisation said: "Rotavirus spreads very easily and affects around 140,000 children every year, causing distress for them and their families.
"Many people think of diarrhoea as something that all children get and that you have to put up with. But there is a way to protect children from this. I'd encourage all parents of young children to accept this vaccine when the programme begins next year."
The decision comes after the experts on the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) concluded a national programme was cost effective.
The programme is expected to cost around £25 million a year but is expected to save the NHS around £20 million per year through fewer stays in hospital, fewer GP and A&E visits and fewer calls to NHS Direct.
Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies said: 2It is upsetting to see our children ill in hospital. Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrhoea in young children and this vaccine will protect our children and reduce hospital admissions for serious rotavirus infection."
Prof Adam Finn, Professor of Paediatrics, University of Bristol, said: "Rotavirus causes large epidemics of diarrhoea and vomiting in babies and young children every winter and with it, misery for thousands of families across the country.
"The vaccine, which is going to be introduced in the UK next year, is given by mouth at the same time as other routine vaccines starting at 2 month of age. It has been used in other countries including the USA, Mexico and Belgium for several years and it's clear that it works well.
"I'm pleased that another unpleasant illness that affects most children is going to be brought under control. It will also help hospitals cope in the busy winter months by reducing pressure on beds and front-line staff."
Dr David Elliman, Immunisation Specialist of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "This is an important advance as whilst rotavirus does not cause many deaths in the UK, it does cause a huge amount of suffering. Rotavirus affects large numbers of under-fives causing them diarrhoea for a few days. This vaccine will mean less pressure both on distressed parents who have to care for their children and of course the GPs and hospital services who are treating them.
"This is a vaccine that has been used for some years in the US, so though new to us there is a large body of experience showing that it is safe and effective."

"Our people are our greatest assert:". So say most companies. Yet few of them behave as if they really believe it.
They fail to involve, empower - even train and develop - their employees and then are surprised when those employees fail to maximise their contribution - if they stay at all. They are much more likely to seek an employer who will look after them.
So, treating your employees well makes all kinds of sense - especially financial. The costs of poor performance coupled with the costs of high labour turnover might break your business; they will certainly make you less competitive.
So, take the time to think about how you might improve the participation and performance of your employees. It makes sense!

Here is another snippet from my book. Tybalt, who is having to use the name Herbert, is in a magical theory class taught by Alan. I have already decided this character doesn't work he is too nasty to be believable. Instead I'm going to rewrite him as a more sympathetic character who does something horrible. I'm not going to know if this will work until I've done it. I'm not going to do anymore re-writes until I finish the 1st draft. So here is Alan enjoy him while he lasts. Please bear in mind it's the first draft so lots of mistakes.
Tybalt was bored but that was a dangerous thing to do in evil Alan's lessons, all of the class had felt his wrath for minor infringements and it wasn't a pleasant experience, something Tybalt had no intention of repeating. He put, what he hoped, was an interested expression on his face.
'Some wizards use staffs or other objects to help focus their power, these specially crafted items do not increase the power of any spell but can help the wizard with its casting. These objects are often favoured by less able wizards who have trouble keeping focus. As we discussed last week it is possible to store power in a high quality gem for use at a later time, the Arch Mages ring is such an item. However enchanting an object is extremely dangerous and can often result in the death of a careless magic user. It has been known for wizards to combine a staff with gems; this can be a useful tool in a battle when large amounts of power are required. Some have even experimented with smaller objects such as wands but these have proved unsuccessful. Herbert tell me why this is?'
Tybalt sat up with a start at the mention of his name, he heart started racing, he hadn't got a clue, he quickly wracked his brain for an answer, he knew if he didn't come up the correct one soon Alan would more than likely beat him.
There was a loud knock on the door and Norman walked in. 'Lord Lewis would like to see Herbert in his study.'
Wow talk about good timing, Tybalt felt a huge wave of relief. He stood up, Alan gave him a sour look.
'I will expect an answer when you return!' He then turned back to his class
He will have to remember to ask Lewis the answer to the question. Tybalt left as quickly as he could and made his way to Lewis's study. He wondered why he wanted him; it could be his Phoenix had finally faded. Each week Lewis had shown the phoenix to the class, none of the other birds had lasted longer than a few days, it was starting to get embarrassing. He reached Lord Lewis's door knocked and walked in.

A Florida jury gave its verdict on Saturday on a case that involved the killing of a teenager at the hands of a white man. Florida man Michael Dunn will be facing a possible retrial for the attempted murder charge. The verdict has increased debate around the country. The charges against Dunn were based on his openly firing on an SUV that was occupied by three teenagers, and one of them, Jordan Davis, died. Dunn has been convicted of attempted murder, among other charges, on Saturday, February 15, in Jacksonville, Florida, and the prosecutors want to try him for first degree murder charges in the retrial. The argument was triggered over the loud music coming from the vehicle in a store parking area.
From 10 shots that Dunn fired, three of them hit the lungs, liver, and aorta of Jordan Davis. Dunn said he witnessed a gun, thus, it was act of self-protection. The verdict of Florida jury in Dunn's case is stimulating concerns and increasing debate on self-defense rule. The Florida State Attorney, Angela Corey's, rulings on recent trials that involved death of unarmed African American teenagers, shot by white men, in an act of self-defense, is raising crucial debates. In the Trayvon Martin and the Jordan Davis cases, Florida's self-defense rule is challenged because the shooter was not convicted of first degree murder.
Michael Dunn, 47, is a software engineer, who on November 23, 2012, opened fire on a vehicle of teenagers outside a store in Jacksonville, in all expending 10 bullets. In the shooting, Jordan Davis, 17, was murdered. However, Dunn only faced three counts of attempted murder with the possibility of 60 years in prison after Saturday's jury ruling. The jury could not come to a decision regarding the first degree murder charge. There were 12 people on the jury and they struggled for days before giving their verdict. The judge declared a mistrial on the first degree murder charge in the case, leaving Dunn facing the conviction on the attempted murder and other charges.
Furthermore, the panel of judges and attorneys will be meeting in the upcoming month. The defense attorney Cory Strolla said that he will be appealing the ruling on the case. In the trial, Dunn's attorney said it was clear act of self-defense, when Davis threatened Dunn and Dunn saw a weapon, and he shot. Nonetheless, there was no gun found by the police. Strolla explained before the ruling that Zimmerman's case ruling has increased media and political pressure. It has been six months since George Zimmerman's acquittal that involved Trayvon Martin's death. Zimmerman was acquitted of shooting the teenager as he claimed self-defense in Florida. The media and people around the United States are debating on these rulings given by the Florida jury.
Additionally, the senior counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Vincent Southerland, said that the jury ruling on Davis death reassures the organization of what they were already aware of – the racial difference. Black kids instantly appear dangerous to the white man. How come Dunn did not see an unarmed teenager hanging out with his friends in the SUV. He was so frightened by the teenager that only on the volume issue he ends up massively shooting the car and killing the innocent boy. The members of jury included only two African American women, one Asian woman, one Hispanic man, and the majority were white men and women.
On Sunday, if Davis was alive, he would have celebrated his 19th birthday with his parents. However, his tragic demise has saddened his family and friends. The father of Jordan Davis, Ron Davis, explained that his teenage son was a "good child" and he should have not been murdered only over a dispute about the volume of music. The Dunn verdict has increased crucial concern and debate.

Fullerton Chief Dan Hughes: Our officers are completely invested in the community
By Greg Hardesty
Editor's Note: Behind the Badge OC recently caught up with Fullerton Police Chief Dan Hughes to discuss the state of his agency and the broader picture of policing in America today. Hughes, 50, started working for the Fullerton PD two weeks out of high school as a cadet. He took over the department as acting chief in January 2012 and was unanimously elected permanent chief by the City Council in August 2013.

Franciscans 'Speak up for the love of …' at the Mass Climate Change lobby at Parliament
Br Hugh writes:
On 17th June thousands came to the Houses of Parliament to speak to their MPs about climate change. Franciscans of the First and Third Orders were among them. Hilfield Friary Community members Jonathan and Daniel came with me with a coach group from Dorset, while Sr Maureen came from Metheringham and Br Micael Christoffer from Canterbury. Srs Sue and Gina had to come a very short way from Southwark. We were asked to speak up for the love of the good things our planet supports that could be spoilt by climate change – hence the title of the day, Speak up for the love of…
The Climate Coalition, the group of charities and faith groups that organised the mass lobby claim around 9,000 constituents were there and that about 250 MPs were lobbied. Christian Aid is a member of the Coalition and had helped us to organise our trips. I saw people from Oxfam, A Rocha (which works closely with Hilfield), Cafod, and WWF among others who are in the coalition.
The lobby was timed to meet our MPs soon after the election, and in good time before the international conference on climate change in Paris in December. We were there to tell our MPs that it is vital that Britain does all it can to persuade the nations of the world to come to a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – something they failed to do at the 2009 conference in Copenhagen, where I was part of a C/SSF team.
It was also on the eve of the publication of the Pope's Encyclical on climate change and its terrible consequences for our planet if we do not change our lifestyles. While the encyclical is unusually addressed to all human beings, not just to Catholics, it is of particular interest to Franciscans as it is entitled Laudato Si (Be Praised), the opening words of St Francis' Canticle of the Creatures.
We Franciscans and members of other religious orders who we work with in Justice and Peace Links began the day with an ecumenical service at the packed St Margaret's Westminster, a church where Politics and Prayer have mingled for centuries. The preacher, the Bishop of Salisbury, Rt Revd Nicholas Holtam, said: "This is not just our individual concern. It is our Christian concern together as the church. It is the concern of people of all faiths. It is our human concern in solidarity with all people. The world is our home." He praised the Encyclical, and also the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lambeth Declaration on Climate Change.
After the service we walked a short distance, in lovely sunny weather, to meet our MPs by the stretch of the Thames from the House of Commons and over the bridge to Lambeth Palace. Some of them arrived in rickshaws that the organisers had laid on. Our West Dorset MP, Oliver Letwin, gave us ten minutes and asked us to meet him again at home. After that the three of us from Hilfield visited a Muslim environmental stall at the interfaith area in Lambeth Park, and information stalls run by other charities in St John's, Smith Square.
Going home to Dorset, our coach met horrible traffic, and it took two hours to get from Westminster to Hammersmith. It was a reminder me that even attending a climate lobby can involve emitting even more greenhouse gases.

Chester Chronicle readers who voted in our online poll are overwhelmingly against the eight-year prison sentence handed to a Willaston woman who duped her friend into a two-year relationship by pretending to be a man.
Twenty-five-year-old marketing manager Gayle Newland, of Hooton Road, was convicted by a Chester Crown Court jury of three counts of sexual assault in September.
She had a two-year relationship with her victim, a fellow former University of Chester student who believed she was dating a man called Kye Fortune, using a prosthetic penis and disguise consisting of chest bandages and a swimming costume.
Newland, who shouted 'I'm scared' to her family as she awaited her punishment, was hysterical as she was led from the dock by two officers on Thursday (November 12).
We asked you what you thought of the length of the sentence handed down to her by Judge Roger Dutton.
The vast majority – 74.2% – of those who voted thought it was too high.
Just 6.5% of you thought it was too low, while 19.4% agreed with the judge's decision.
Hundreds of you shared your mixed reactions with us on our social media channels.
Karl Cleveley posted on our Facebook page: "Regardless, it was a weird and unusual case, it does seem rather a harsh sentence to be given."
Danielle Vause agreed, saying it's 'too harsh'.
While Norma Gursel wrote that it is 'crazy, breathtakingly unfair' and thinks the verdict should be appealed.
But Ryan Wooster said: "The sentence was fair, she was convicted of three serious sex offences by a jury and the judge sentenced her accordingly."
Jennifer Adamson posted: "She deliberately misled her victim for her own gains - this is serious, calculating and manipulative... the right decision has been made."

An ecosystem's complexity develops from the vast numbers of species interacting in ecological communities. The nature of these interactions, in turn, depends on environmental context. This book develops a framework for anticipating the ways environmental context determines the functioning of ecosystems.
The author begins with the universal concept that ecosystems are comprised of species that consume resources and which are then resources for other consumers. From this, he deduces a fundamental rule for explaining context dependency: individuals within a species trade off foraging gains against the risk of being consumed by predators. Through empirical examples, the book illustrates how species use evolutionary ecological strategies to negotiate a predator-eat-predator world, and it suggests that the implications of species trade-offs are critical to making ecology a predictive science.

Traditional hand-painted signs live on in the Kingdom as one artist works against time and technology to preserve the beauty of the old ways
Tracey Shelton
Kong Buntheoun is one of the few traditional sign makers in Phnom Penh.
THE tradition once thrived and can still be spotted occasionally in the countryside and in some areas of Phnom Penh, but the humble hand-painted shop sign may soon be a thing of the past as Cambodia becomes increasingly accustomed to Western advertising techniques.
Some may consider hand-painted signs, known in Khmer as chook tip ("perfect painting" or "realistic painting"), unsophisticated, but they certainly do get the message across.
They still hang in back streets, alleys and lanes advertising a variety of wares and services, from long-lashed brides and freshly shaven young men to motorbike repair shops, photocopy facilities and pool halls.
Others are used to broadcast warnings or educational messages, such as large billboards depicting officious-looking characters binning their cigarettes or villagers disposing of firearms.
The retro-charm of these quintessentially Cambodian hand-painted signs may soon disappear-a victim of the digital age's preference for detailed airbrush techniques and computer-generated graphics.
Kong Buntheoun, 51, is one of the few remaining artists struggling to keep the tradition alive. He learned his craft at the age of 16 by working with sign artists in Phnom Penh.
But his art took a back seat to survival when the Khmer Rouge evacuated Phnom Penh in 1975. He left the capital for Battambang province.
When Vietnam deposed the Khmer Rouge in 1979, Kong Buntheoun opened his own sign-painting shop in Battambang before relocating it to the capital in 1998.
"I wanted to make my business larger then the businesses in Battambang, and I wanted to compete with other businesses in a big city by being the best at hand-painting pictures," he said.
Some 80 percent of signs in Cambodia used to be hand-painted, but most are now painted with machines (airbrush techniques), Buntheoun said.
"There are many shops that use machines to paint pictures, but I am known in Phnom Penh for making hand-painted signs," he said. "Most shops can't do that and there are only three artists left in Cambodia who can hand-paint signs. People still come to me because I can paint pictures by hand," he said.
"Hand-painted signs are now more expensive than machine-painted signs, but some customers still want me to hand paint even if it takes more time because [they] are beautiful and natural," he said.
A hand-painted sign on the streets of Phnom Penh.
Buntheoun is versatile when it comes to his art and proud to be able to paint all types of pictures, both modern and traditional.
"Most painters today don't know how to paint traditional Cambodian pictures like angels and giants. They only know how to draw modern pictures they copy from somewhere else," he said.
Having painted more than 1,000 pictures in his 35-year career, Buntheoun has a personal favourite that he plans to keep forever.
"I love almost all my paintings because they look attractive, but there is one picture that I love the most. It is a picture of lady who has a soft manner that I drew when I was single."
"A lot of my customers are from overseas. They want me to draw their pictures as farmers or in costumes. My local customers are mostly businesspeople who ask me to draw their shop signs," he said.
"The biggest picture that I ever painted was a picture advertising a film that was put in front of a cinema. I spent about five days working on it," he said.
Buntheoun expressed regret that his children have never learned his art and will not take over the family business in the future.
"I really would like my children to continue my line of work but they are not interested," he said. "I am not sure whether Cambodia will have any hand-painted signs in the future, but I see that there are not many students learning the art," he said.
"I feel sad that hand-painted signs will disappear from Cambodia in the future," he said. "But most young people only think of money and not of quality work. They choose to use machines to make signs because it is easier and faster."

Adds many new types of coins as items which can be used for decoration and role play. These coins can also be traded between players as part of your economy system.
This addon adds five tiers of coin to the game. Players can get gold and iron coins by smelting a gold or iron ingot in the furnace. Each ingot is worth one coin.
Each coin can be converted to nine of it's previous tier. For example one gold coin equals nine iron coins.
If you have nine of the same coins you can convert them into a pile of coins. Pile of coins are used to making storing large amounts of a specific tier easier. The pile of coin items can also be smelted in a furnace to get a single coin of the next tier. For example a pile of iron coins will turn into a single golden coin.

New, Multi-Media Ag Water Management Guide
Crop production students interested in crop water use and irrigation management will want to check out the new Agricultural Water Management Guide, an interactive, online resource developed by Nebraska Extension.
This free guide describes the leading types of irrigation systems, including advantages and disadvantages of each, water management technologies and strategies, and the history of irrigation in Nebraska, the nation's leading user.
With easily accessible information, videos, and pull-out boxes for "Did you Knows" and terminology definitions, this guide serves as an excellent introduction to the use and management of irrigation in Nebraska. In addition, links throughout the guide will aid readers wanting to delve deeper into particular areas through recommended sources.
"This resource is written for farmers, crop consultants, agriculture teachers, science instructors, students, and anyone interested in increasing their knowledge of irrigation management," said Nebraska Extension Educator Brandy VanDeWalle, one of the co-authors.
"We wanted this to be a one-stop resource for those with irrigation questions. Readers will find key information about different types of irrigation, how to determine irrigation timing, and much more. It also links to Nebraska Extension publications with more technical information."
Co-authors with VanDeWalle are Extension Educators Aaron Nygren, Chuck Burr, and Gary Zoubek, and Extension Irrigation Specialist Suat Irmak.
VanDeWalle is developing STEM-based (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) lessons for mid and senior high youth that incorporate use of the guide.
The Nebraska Environmental Trust provided funding and support for development of this resource, a direct result of the Excellence in Ag Sciences Day professional development conference series focused on agricultural water management.
