The worrying fact is that Bangladesh, the country with the world's highest population density excepting some city states, is fast losing arable land due to growing industrialisation and rapid encroachment of human habitat on farming areas. It is losing 8,000 hectares of farmland a year from its original 13 million hectares of cropland.
The country's fast growing population is now looking for new land to build homes while entrepreneurs are going to remote, countryside areas to set up factories. Agriculture accounts for only 21 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) but employs nearly half of the nation's workforce.
There will be no cultivable land left in Bangladesh in 50 years if the land is taken away for non-farm purposes at the current rate. And if the trend is not reversed now, the country will permanently lose its food security, leaving the poor more vulnerable to volatile international commodity prices.
The government has recently taken some steps that include banning use of arable land for purposes other than agriculture to address the issue. This is a laudable step.
A high-level committee recommends that factories and educational institutions that have already been built should go vertical, instead of grabbing more land. However, the government fails to monitor how much farmland is being transferred for use in other purposes.
Constant depletion of farmland, dwindling farm size and rise in landlessness are posing formidable threats to Bangladesh's agriculture, trapping many ultra-poor people in a vicious circle.
Still worries about farmland depletion at an alarming rate have fallen into deaf ears. Calls for ensuring optimum utilisation of arable land and bringing fallow land under cultivation remain in rhetoric.
Successive governments concentrated all focus on higher production of rice, while import bills for fuel, cooking oils and pulses continued to swell. Rice cultivation covers almost 80 per cent of Bangladesh's cultivatable area, though self-sufficiency in food is yet to be achieved.
Bangladeshis, on average, spent 60 per cent of their income on food in the 1990s and that percentage has, however, come down to 50 per cent now.
An integrated crop management package may be launched by designing agricultural zones based on weather and soil conditions for increasing agricultural production. There are a total of 30 agro-ecological zones in the country as defined by experts.
The government should allocate more resources for rice research to offset the loss of cropland. Land in regions such as Barind tracts, coastal zone and Sylhet haors can also be better utilised to grow more Rabi crops -- pulses and oil seeds in particular -- to significantly reduce dependence on imports.
Unless the increasing use of arable land for non-farm purposes is stopped immediately, the country will face multiple problems. A solution to the issue of farmland depletion could be formulation of a sensible and realistic land-use policy. It has to be found out why people are becoming landless and how the problem of shrinkage of arable land can be solved. Only then further measures necessary can be taken.
Therefore, keeping population growth rate under control, proper steps should be taken soon to ensure planned urbanisation. In Bangladesh, the problem of economic development has so far been addressed mainly in isolation from the population issue. But these need to be treated in a comprehensive manner.
All said and done, the government needs to formulate a cohesive strategy for carrying out land reforms. Given the complexity in its procedure, strong leadership should emerge to take the land reforms agenda forward based on strategic vision and doable implementation plans.

Travelers headed to the airport in recent months have faced a security procedure that left many of them grumbling. At some airports, all passengers were asked to remove their shoes before walking through metal detectors, regardless of whether they wore a menacing steel-toed boot or a thin rubber flip-flop.
"The other night, they had everybody taking off their shoes - grandmothers surrendering their wooden clogs and teen-agers taking off their Chuck Taylors," said Tom Farmer, an Internet consultant in Seattle, describing a recent flight out of Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
Although Farmer travels frequently for work and has become accustomed to security agents' "mystery obsession with shoes," he said it seemed particularly stressful "for occasional fliers or for older fliers who don't know what's going on."
Until recently, the Transportation Security administration has been tight-lipped about its apparent shoe fetish, but on July 10, the agency finally clarified its policy: Although screeners will no longer require passengers to remove their shoes, travelers who choose not to send their footwear through the X-ray machines may be subjected to secondary screening, even if they do not set off the metal detector's alarm.
Brian Turmail, a spokesman for the TSA, said it clarified the rule "to ensure that the experience you have in one airport is similar to the experience you have in another airport coast to coast."
Shoes became a concern after a terrorist, Richard C. Reid, tried to detonate explosive material in his shoe on a December 2001 flight. Based on intelligence, the TSA has said, footwear remains a concern for airport security officials.
But inconsistent procedures in the past several months were frustrating passengers, who had no idea what to expect at the airport. For frequent travelers in particular, the seemingly arbitrary shoe directive added another level of frustration to their travel experience.
"Even within the same airport, it's not really consistent," said Susan Knell, an information technology consultant from Atlanta who travels frequently for work. When she flew from Atlanta to Minneapolis recently wearing a pair of Nine West loafers precisely because they do not trigger the metal detectors, she was told to remove her shoes despite her assurances that they would not set off the alarm.
"My husband went through the same screening area as I did and he had to as well," Knell noted, but she added that a colleague who passed through a different security lane that morning was allowed to keep his shoes on.
Before the recent increase in shoe searches, many frequent fliers had settled on certain traveling shoes after figuring out through trial and error which pairs could be worn through metal detectors without triggering the alarm. Indeed, the issue even sparked a lively discussion at an online forum for frequent fliers, flyertalk.com, where travelers traded tips about which styles of shoes were "security friendly" and which were not.
Joe Johnston, an engineer from Albany, N.Y., posted a message touting a pair of Bass dress shoes, noting he once bet a security screener at Logan airport in Boston $5 that his shoes would not trigger the alarm.
"I'd been wearing those shoes for a while through security," Johnston said in a telephone interview. "This guy wanted to make a bet if they would set off the alarm or not. He said I came close but didn't set it off." (Johnston said he told the screener to keep the money.)
At issue is the metal shank found in many styles designed for comfort. The shank stretches from the heel to the forefoot of the sole, providing support, but also triggering airport metal detectors. While frequent travelers favor the comfortable shoes, they have reluctantly relegated those that set off the detectors to the back of the closet.
Worried about losing some of their best customers, shoe manufacturers had already begun responding to the problem, replacing the metal shanks in their footwear with plastic alternatives.
"The way that it surfaced with us is we have a very high instance of airline personnel - pilots and co-pilots - that wear our shoes," said John Deem, vice president for global product development for the Rockport Co., of Canton, Mass. Rockport recently announced that beginning this fall, all of its new styles will feature a plastic shank made of a glass-filled nylon material specifically so that the shoes will not trigger airport security alarms.
On Rockport's Dressport 3.0 collection, which is available in stores now, Deem said, "We're even putting a sticker on the box that says 'security friendly.' " The plastic shank will be incorporated into the company's current shoe styles over the next 18 months.
The Timberland Co., a Stratham, N.H., competitor for the weary feet of travelers, has already made similar adjustments. Chris Heffernan, product manager for the company's men's casual footwear business, said the decision to switch to a nylon shank in 2001 was originally a matter of comfort but evolved into an imperative because of airport security concerns.
"Over 90 percent of my line does not have metal shanks," Heffernan said. "And that's only growing as each season continues."

Post Sale Update: This custom Yamaha sold for $13,556 after 14 bids on eBay.
Last time I featured a custom Yamaha by Greg Hageman, it was a XSR700 inspired by the XT500. This time around, it's a XS650 that was created as a partner to another XSR700. Yamaha's slogan for their line of retro bikes is "Faster Sons" – the idea is that the modern bikes are faster sons than the classics. In this case, the XS650 is called the "Fast Father", and now it's available for purchase after having gone through the US motorcycle show circuit.
I first saw this bike at the Handbuilt show in Austin, Texas, and I remember thinking that I wanted it a lot more than I wanted the custom XSR700 that was next to it. The bike supposedly started as a XS2 (1972 XS650) in good shape before Hageman restomodded it. The engine was rebuilt and some modern pieces were added – Mikuni VM34 carbs, Pamco electronic ignition, XSCharge alternator, lithium battery, LED lighting, and more. The front end is from a 2000-ish Yamaha R6, the swingarm is a custom aluminum SR500 unit built by MotoLanna, and the rear shocks are from Hagon. For more details on the work, check out this story from Yamaha.
This bike (VIN: S650131785) has 80 miles on it since the work was completed, most of which are presumably from commercials and promotional videos like the one above. Greg Hageman notes that the "bike is show quality, and built to ride. The only flaws are in a couple parts that I chose to keep original and untouched, a few small blemishes in the fenders, and a couple small nicks in the side covers. They were close to excellent, and wanted to keep them original to the bike for its character."

Lesbian by Choice There are many labels, names and categories that have been assigned or given to lesbians. What is "lesbian"? Is it a certain type of woman? Does one lesbian have an identical feature or character as another lesbian? Does a lesbian have something extra or something missing from heterosexual women? This notion that we can classify a human being by their sexual preference is absolutely ludicrous and unsubstantiated! Women are just that, women. Sexual attraction to humans, be it the same sex or not, is not a concrete science that can allow society to label women. The choice of heterosexuality may not truly be a choice. In a recent survey of women, 57% stated that heterosexuality was not something that was considered and then chosen.
For these women, there was no decision to be made regarding their sexual preference (Marrow, 1997). This is an interesting figure when you consider of those above women, some admitted to having sexual encounters with other women. I believe the choice is heavily tied to our culture, family values, and surroundings. If all of the fish are swimming upstream, why would you want to go against your group and swim downstream? Within the lesbian community, Ponse (1978) makes reference to two groups. There are many lesbians that claim to have been "born" lesbian. To expand on this subject, one would say these women never questioned their sexual attraction.

From day one, they were attracted to other women. Although this is referred to as a primary lesbian, I dont believe it alleviates any of the stigmas or gives any more comfort or ease to the woman. The elective lesbian is seen as having "elected" to be lesbian. These are women who have experienced heterosexual relations and have decided that they prefer the same sex. This may appear as a choice, but it is far from that. The environment or family setting may have driven these women to repress their true desires out of fear of rejection.
They may also simply be confused and needed to try one way to better understand the other way (Golden, 1999). Among lesbian relationships, we find the data to be similar to heterosexual women. This makes sense and gives more bearing to the thought that women are women. Lesbian couples, like their heterosexual couples, prefer monogamous relationships when in a deep and caring relationship. Lesbian couples appear to want and most importantly, expect the same things from a relationship as a heterosexual woman (Garnets, 2000).
Commitment, support, and family values. There are those that will claim lesbian couples cannot possibly have or want family values since they are not themselves a true family. This is a comical statement to me when we consider it is men who have defined "family values" throughout the years. It is obvious that there are differing opinions regarding lesbians. Their life style, their beliefs and their choices have all been analyzed, scrutinized and classified, but to the result of what? Does a womans sexual preference affect anyone but that person? Then why is our society so intent on labeling, understanding and discriminating against lesbians? Could it be that anger is a concealment of personal repressed sexual preferences? The time has come for humans to act like humans and treat our species the same, regardless of sexual preference. After all, sexual preference does not impact intellect levels, work ethics, or honesty in a person.
I believe those traits are more important to understand then why a woman wants to be with another woman.

In the desert of apathy,
the wasteland of chosen oblivion,
our tongue is parched
like baked clay,
dehydrated by the virus of harsh rhetoric
worldly potentates have flushed
into our eustachian tubes.
What can we hear
with flu tainted cotton wool?
We drown one another in a sea of silence.
Popular culture tells us go to sleep
in the way we put dogs and cats
who are too expensive to have dignity.
"Close your eyes,"
we say to our little ones,
"it will be better when you wake up;
the water isn't cold-
you have a fever;
and Santa Claus
knows if you've been telling the truth."
Maybe the grown-ups have it all wrong.
Maybe it isn't bedtime, after all.
The morning star hasn't set.
The morning star will never set.
Fortunately, for the grown-ups
we don't figure this out
until we are grown-ups ourselves.
Now is not bedtime.
Drink from the font.
Wash your face. It's time to start the day.
No one is sick. No one has a fever.
The water is cold because the water is cold.
Now is not bedtime.
Now is wake time.
You see…
God opened your eyes with a light,
a light so bright that it could only be his own progeny.
God cradled you
and marked your head with fragrant oil
so that you could share in Christ's role
so that you could wear Christ's crown
so that you could partake of the priesthood
so that you could see the vision
so that you could share in the royal inheritance
God opened your ears to hear all this,
and your lips too,
to fluently proclaim
the language of truth in the face of deception;
peace in the face of vengeance;
and love in the midst of hateful diatribes.
So the choice is yours.
Do you believe that God
has given you authority to speak?
Will you wake and walk
or are you weak?
Will you shake
the blankets heavy heap,
or will you just go back to sleep?

How to replace your iPhone 5 battery
Important to note:
1) If you pry off the top silver panel near the camera, MAKE SURE that all 3 connections are firmly back in place before the repair is finished. if not, you'll have issues with the display
2) be very careful with the suction cup step (VERY VERY CAREFUL). you want to make sure to get your opening tool under the entire display, and not just the screen.
If done correctly, the repair works great. If you are having issues, you most likely messed up one of the steps. Just go back through the process from step 1 and ensure everything is done properly and you should be fine

Salesforce.com Inc. said Wednesday it struck a $1.35 billion deal to buy ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd., as the company aims to bolster the services it offers to customers.
ClickSoftware is used by companies to schedule field service work and develops workplace management software. Private-equity firm Francisco Partners Management L.P. bought the company in 2015 for $438 million.
"Our acquisition of ClickSoftware will not only accelerate the growth of Service Cloud, but drive further innovation with Field Service Lightning to better meet the needs of our customers," Bill Patterson, general manager of the Salesforce Service Cloud unit, said in a statement.
San Francisco-based Salesforce said the cash and stock deal is expected to close during the company's quarter ending Oct. 31.
Salesforce, the seller of so-called customer relationship management software, has built a powerful software business with over $13 billion in annual revenue by helping companies ditch legacy computer systems and move data to the cloud.
Salesforce recently agreed to buy data-analytics platform Tableau Software Inc. for more than $15 billion in stock. The company has made several pricey acquisitions in recent years, aimed at broadening the tools and services it offers.
Last year, Salesforce bought web-based service MuleSoft Inc. in a $6.5 billion deal, as it sought to migrate more clients to cloud services. The company also bought e-commerce platform Demandware Inc. for $2.8 billion in 2016.
Salesforce shares ticked down about 2% during after-hours trading.

Alickz was on a trip to the Science center where they were showing off a spider and all kinds of inventions but the spider was so strong it broke out and bit the nearest thing next to him which was Alickz. The Spider gave him powers the same powers as the original spider-man after that day his life would never be the same He started going through different changes he tried to use this power to make money but realized who cares then he saw a robber and got an idea to fight crime about a few months after he mastered his own abilities a symbiote came down to earth and attached to Alickz but he controlled the symbiote and took away the symbiote's personality in order to control its power so currently the symbiote has permanently bonded to him and now has all the power of him and the symbiote together so now when he activates the Navy symbiote and changes into his costume fighting crime and he gets all new powers together with his old and then he mastered the static cling he uses for wall crawling but the thing is the only reason he could wall crawl is because his body is actually holding bio-electricity inside of him which he uses to use he can manipulate it in any way he wants he has mastered this ability. He mastered his spider-sense also allowing him to know the actual danger that will be coming and uses it to see through smoke and can use it to see the near future to see which move his enemy would do next. He is the Sworn protector of New York City and Nueva York.
Powers and Abilities
- Spider-Sense: Spider-Man possesses an extrasensory "danger" or "spider" sense which warns him of potential immediate danger by the manifestation of a tingling sensation in the back of his skull, and links with his superhuman kinesthetics, enabling him to evade most any injuries, unless he cognitively overrides his automatic reflexes. The precise nature of this sense is unknown. It appears to be a simultaneous clairvoyant response to a wide variety of phenomena (everything from falling safes to speeding bullets to thrown punches), which has given several hundredths of a second warning, which is sufficient time for his reflexes to allow him to avoid injury. The sense also can create a general response on the order of several minutes: he cannot discern the nature of the threat by the sensation. He can, however, discern the severity of the danger by the strength of his response to it. Spider-Man's spider-sense is directional and can guide him to or away from hidden weapons and enemies. Sudden and extreme threats can cause his spider-sense to react with painful intensity. Spider-Man can also sense and dodge attacks directed randomly or by a computer. Using his spider-sense to time his enhanced reflexes, Spider-Man can casually dodge attacks up to and including automatic-weapons fire, provided there is sufficient distance. His spider-sense is sufficiently well-linked to his reflexes to the point that a threat can trigger them even when Spider-Man is asleep or stunned. His spider-sense has helped him preserve his secret identity since it alerts him to observers or cameras when changing into or out of his costume. The spider-sense does react to those who Peter does not consider to be a threat, such as Aunt May. Spider-Man can choose to ignore his spider-sense, and distraction or fatigue diminish its effectiveness. Spider-Man's fighting style incorporates the advantage that his "spider-sense" provides him. His body begins to produce more adrenaline after the sense is triggered, an extension of the 'fight or flight syndrome.'
- Superhuman Strength: Spider-Man possesses superhuman strength enabling him to lift approximately 10 tons. Spider-Man's physical strength is sufficient to lift and throw objects as heavy as most standard automobiles with ease. He must also pull his punches and kicks unless fighting someone of similar or greater physical durability. Otherwise, his blows would prove fatal to a normal human being. Spider-Man's physical strength also extends into his legs, enabling him to be able to jump to a height of several stories in a single bound.
- Superhuman Speed: Spider-Man can run and move at speeds that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete. He is ultimately capable of running at speeds of at most fully exerted is mach-1
- Superhuman Stamina: Spider-Man's advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows him to exert himself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair him. At his peak, Spider-Man can physically exert himself for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
- Superhuman Durability: Spider-Man's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. His body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. He can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by a superhumanly strong opponent, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort.
- Superhuman Agility: Spider-Man's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Spider-Man is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. He can also perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. He can easily match or top any Olympic record at gymnastics apparatus such as flying rings, climbing ropes, horizontal bars, trampolines.
- Superhuman Equilibrium: Spider-Man possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow. He has developed a unique fighting style that made full use of his agility, strength, and equilibrium.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Spider-Man's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about 15 times greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with his spider-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack, or even gunfire, if he is far enough away.
- Wall-Crawling: Spider-Man's exposure to the mutated spider venom induced a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide alteration of his engrams resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to Spider-Man's body (especially concentrated in his hands and feet) and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger. Limits to this ability seem to be psychosomatic, and the full nature of this ability has yet to be established.
- Superhuman Sight: Spider-Man's visual acuity is considerably beyond that of a normal human. Spider-Man can see objects at much greater distances, with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human.Spider-Man possesses this same level of clarity at night, enabling him to see in near-total darkness. He is able to see into the infra-red end of the electromagnetic spectrum, enabling him to see a person's body heat. the flicker-fusion horizon(the speed at which some objects appear as a blur) in his eyes is superior to other people. what appears as a blur to most people, he can see perfectly. His Eyes also Can Zoom in Like Telescopic Vision and have a little x-ray vision.
- Rapid Healing:: Spider-Man's accelerated metabolism affords him a rapid healing ability that lets him regenerate damaged bodily tissue faster and more extensively than a normal human is capable of. Injuries such as slashes or puncture woulds can heal completely within a matter of hours. It isn't known if Spider-Man's healing powers afford him greater resistance to toxins or diseases; nor if they grant him an extended lifespan. Spider-Man healing factor isn't sufficiently enhanced to regenerate severed limbs or missing organs. although he heals at a greater rate than a normal human, he doesn't possess an actual superhuman healing factor. Also if he Loses a Limb it grows back in about a week. Also he is not vulnerable to Diseases that influence regular humans such as the flu and cancer because the symbiote does not let it enter his body.
- Claws & Fangs: Spider-Man possesses elongated canine teeth that secrete a paralyzing, though non-toxic, venom. He also possesses short, retractable claws at the tips of his fingers and toes that he uses to dig into surfaced, enabling him to crawl along them as a spider might. The claws are also razor sharp and, coupled with his great strength, are able to rend materials as durable as cinder-block.
- Spinerettes: Both of Spider-Man's forearms contain a set of spinerettes that release a very strong and sticky web-like substance from the back of his wrists. Spider-Man can use this webbing to swing from building to building with or as a means of restraining an individual. Spider-Man's webs are organic and are chemically identical to real spider silk.
- Enhanced Resilience: Spider-Man has a level of resilience far greater than most humans. he once fell off a building and effortlessly walked to a hospital, where a doctor said that with broken ribs and massive fractures, it was amazing that he could even stand up.
- Tendrils: His Tendrils are blackish Blue things that extend from his body and can use them to stretch and generate Spikes throughout his body also he usually makes 3 bladed claws on each fist that he can use to counter sword attacks he also can extend his webbing with it making it reach pretty far like when he is off the ocean shore he webs it to a building and it can reach even when he is on the boat. Because of this Tendril ability his body is made out of this stuff and basically regenerates extremely fast but if he is not ready for an attack he is vulnerable and can be severely injured. When he runs his electricity throughout his tendrils or webbing it is The spider's sting.
- Enhanced Senses: His Eyes can see perfectly in night see perfectly clear that is not usually clear to a humans naked eye. He also can see farther by zooming in with his telescopic vision if he is on top of a building and he wants to see miles away. He also can read Heat Signatures through solid objects. His ears can pick up on voices far away and lower and higher frequencies than a human. His nose can smell a scent miles away and he can feel things on his webs through air currents.
- Spider-Camo: He can make himself instantly invisible
- Duplication: He can split himself up like a single celled organism but only make it so he can make 2 copies of himself plus his original self which makes 3.
- Thunder Voice: He has a powerful scream that can make glass break, level buildings and send people/objects flying
- Flexible Bone Structure: Spider-Man's bone structure allows him great flexibility. He can remain in a crouched position for a long time without causing any damage to his spine. He also has web-laced bone structure which is extremely durable (stronger than Kevlar) so his bones are bulletproof.
- Prehensile Tail: The symbiote allows him to make a tail allowing him to grab onto objects with relative ease. His tail is strong enough to support his body weight.
- Electricity/Venom Blasts: He can take his Wall crawling ability to a whole nother level because his Whole Body is Generating Bio-Electricity which he has learned to manipulate, control, to sense sources of electromagnetic energy, electricity and magnetism and administer as a range of attacks with a range of uses; he can charge devices with electricity, and alternatively drain the energy from them into himself, magnetize and demagnetize metals. He can hear radiowaves meaning he can listen in on the police broadband and music stations, as well as tapping into the phone lines so he can make calls. Spider-Man can choose to keep the electromagnetic energy that he currently holds in his body by controlling the Current and Voltage for whenever he wants to use it. He can Fire bursts of that same electricity from his hands and make Static-Clings, Generating Shields. He can make objects levitate using Electromagnetic Levitation (Metal is the easiest). He can also make Balls of lightning and can use all the electricity currently in his body to disable all electrical devices in the radius of his attack. He also Conducts the Electricity through his webs and tendrils. He can also Flare people with a flash he can make. He can also manipulate a plasma-make of this electricity in a blue flame form.
- Super-Charge: By Increasing the Voltage of the electricity and conducting it into anything he can make it explode or into glass it can melt
- Magnetism: He has the power to move objects with his electricity especially the metal.
- Psychic Alignment with Arthropods: He can See what a Spider Sees and Can Directly Communicate with them Commanding them and such.
- Mark Of The Spider: He can plant his mark with the palm of his hands, which is an Electrified Spider Symbol and it helps show where he has been.
- Underwater Adaptation: Similar to a diving bell spider, Alickz can wrap himself in a bell-shaped web held by the hairs on his legs and abdomen and collect oxygen from the surrounding water, which is exchanged with other gases such as carbon dioxide through osmosis, allowing him to survive underwater "indefinitely".
He majored in science and knows all about science he also is a skilled acrobat and before he got his powers he was trained in ninjutsu and was an excellent athlete
Strength level
Since his body is always making electricity when hes sleeping and uses it he can risk energy depletion but can recharge.
He cannot use some powers at the same time but he can use a lot of his powers. He can use his powers on water by electrocuting it but however when he is charging for an electrical attack by gaining the electricity from his body and transferring it to his hands where he can shoot it out he is vulnerable to a large body of water where he can short out and lose all the electricity in his body.
Equipment: Spider-Man's costume is made of super Kevlar, blue part, which is strong enough to deflect bullets and not burn it is very flexible material but also very durable. The black places are the symbiote part of the costume making a spider in the middle then stretching all across to boots and gloves there is a big Black X in the back and on the black line that looks like his belt is an endless hole which he can use for storage and the middle button inside of it is used to a light air foil on his back and underarms like a flying squirrel This foil emits a low concentration of anti-gravity particles that allow Spider-Man to glide on currents of air. He needs this because some places in the city the buildings are to far apart to jump but he could throw a web line to them but he mostly needs it from jumping off of of high things for freefalling. At the Top his costume is Reflective See-through material that magnifies his glowing blue eyes across his whole face. The whole suit has unstable molecules that are designed to resist tearing of his claws but also thin enough to use his wallcrawling. He can store the unstable molecules underneath his skin and call upon them at will to change into his costume. What the costume would look like if nobody was wearing it is just a big blue Jumpsuit with just big Mirror Eyes and a button on the lower part of the body.He also lives in an apartment in N.Y.C. but he modified it with the push of a button it turns into a spider web headquarters which he humbly names this hq, The Web.
Transportation: Web Slinging, Running/Jumping across rooftops. Spider-Cycle
Weapons: He throws Shuriken, Makes Spikes with Symbiote, Talons, Claws, Fangs, and Electrical Attacks

Stolen donations almost cost a veterinary clinic its faith in humanity
The MetroPet Animal Hospital in Uptown was robbed last Saturday shortly after opening. As clients and their pets were milling about, somebody swiped two employee wallets and a donation box for Twin Cities Pet Rescue from the front desk.
Staff member Julia Grim says the clinic is usually pretty casual about security. Volunteers are constantly going in and out of the employees' back room. Clients poke around and play with the resident cat.
That's why she didn't think much when she found a man in bulky sweatshirt behind the front counter. He told her he was trying to talk to the cat to get over his fear of cats.
A few minutes later, somebody offered to make a donation. Grim noticed the cash box was gone. Wallets belonging to her and the owner were also missing from the back room. Other clients confirmed that the man in the sweatshirt did go into that room while staff members were working downstairs.
"I was just furious," Grim says. "I think that's really low and shady, not just to steal from somebody in general, but to steal donations to an animal rescue. I don't know what to say. It just upsets me."
There was about $50 in the box, she says. And although she was able to cancel her credit cards, the theft has caused the clinic to become more wary about everyone who enters.
"We want to be welcoming and open, and we don't like to suspect people," Grim says. "We try to be friendly, but we're kind of all on guard now. I've been trying to have a compassionate view of this, like maybe he's struggling with addiction or mental illness. But at the same time, this has been a big headache."
Grim posted a little note about the robbery on Facebook under Minneapolis Scanner, a page dedicated to tracking crime and police activity across the city. Soon, a commenter was offering to replace the stolen donations. He didn't want the clinic to lose hope.
"I just wanted her to know that it's ok," says Minneapolis Community and Technical College student Jase Roe, who quickly donated $50 to Twin Cities Pet Rescue. "It doesn't have to be a loss. Not everyone is shitty. And even that person who did it, who knows what they're going through?"
Roe says he once struggled with addiction that caused him to hurt others. Now, he works at treatment center NuWay.
"I love Minneapolis," Roe says. "I love the people and I love the community. I don't want to lose that. I just wanted her to know that the community stands behind her, and when stuff like that happens, hopefully we can come together and say we're not going to stand for this. We're going to make up for it."

Prep Preview: Roosevelt at Santiago
I'm covering the Eastvale Roosevelt-Corona Santiago varsity football game tonight, Thursday, Nov. 5, 2015, for The Press-Enterprise, pe.com & @PEcom_preps.
The best part of this assignment is watching whether or not Santiago can secure a playoff berth with a victory at home in Week 10.
The Mustangs (2-7 overall, 1-4 Big VIII) have had a rough time this season but defeated Riverside King to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Senior QB Andrew LaBruna has been solid (2,000-plus passing yards & 20 passing TDs) but has turned the ball over (seven INTs) as the team suffered through a four-game losing streak to start the season and a three-game losing streak to open league. Senior WR Sean Bowden has been LaBruna's favorite target, totaling 37 receptions for 629 yards and six TDs.
The Sharks (4-5 overall, 2-2 Big VIII) got blown out of the water last week by Norco, 63-7, and are desperate for a win tonight to extend their season. Head coach Scott Morrison firmly said, "There are no moral victories," after his team lost, 79-31, to Corona Centennial in Week 8 then followed it up with an even worse performance. Senior QB Jacob Hennie was benched during the loss to Centennial then barely played last week. Will backup QB Alex Sandoval start again tonight? Sandoval threw three INTs vs. Norco's ferocious secondary, and has totaled four INTs in his last two appearances.
Roosevelt — QB Andrew LaBruna (Sr., 6-foot-2, 205 pounds); RB Christopher Newman (Jr., 5-9, 170); RB Alonzo Tate (Sr., 5-11, 205); WR/SS Sean Bowden (Sr., 6-3, 183); WR/DB Cameron Smith (Sr., 6-foot, 174); WR/CB Donald Hayes (Sr., 6-foot, 175); WR/CB Chase Williams (Soph., 6-1, 175); DE/DT David Potts (Sr., 6-3, 242); DE/OLB Richard Cage (Jr., 6-3, 225); MLB Michael McDonald (Soph., 6-1, 205); SS/FS Chris Wilcox (Sr., 6-2, 175); K Dante Heredia (Sr., 6-1, 175).
Santiago — QB Jacob Hennie (Sr., 5-foot-11, 183 pounds); RB Mason Hale (Sr., 5-10, 165); RB Kamari Carter (Sr., 5-9, 170); WR Jacob Ricard (Sr., 5-9, 170); WR Andreau Benny (Sr., 6-1, 175); SB John North (Jr., 5-9, 150); OLB Terrell Sayles (Sr., 6-1, 215); MLB Tyler Desario (Sr., 5-11, 195); OLB Alex Benter (Soph., 6-2, 200); FS/DB Tyler Williams (Sr., 5-10, 165); FS/CB Nate Acosta (Sr., 5-11, 160); WR/SS Justin Romo (Jr., 6-foot, 165); K/P Jake Roberts (Sr., 6-2, 180).
Confidence will be in short supply on both sides, but look for the support of a home crowd to help push Santiago into the playoffs with a victory. Their 'Shark Tank' will be the 12th fish.
Corona Santiago 38, Eastvale Roosevelt 35

I have had my 64 bit OS for several months now and loving the increased speed and stability of everything that I use. I did not realize until a few moments ago that I had been using the 32 bit version of IE. Now this really has not been a problem, but I did purchase a 64 bit OS and would like to take advantage of it.
In my list of programs I started to notice that there were two version…
Task Manager was also mocking my naivety…
So after updating the all the accessible shortcuts in every location I find myself left with 64 bit goodness, hopefully there are no unfortunate side effects!

Unless things have changed, you are going to find yourself using the 32-bit browser again soon. There aren't many 64 bit plugins. For example, as of the last time I looked (admittedly months ago) there is no 64 bit Flash player. That is kind of a good thing, as you will avoid seeing a bunch of advertisements.
Mark (October 26, 2009 13:54)
That is a great point Ed. I should have realized that my wife is avoiding 64bit Adobe products as the plugins are all 32 bit.

Damnoen Saduak Floating MarketThe vendors still paddle their boats up and down the waterways, selling and hawking their merchandise and wares while shielding from the strong rays of the sun under broad hats made from local bamboo and palm leaves. 'Long tailed' motorised boats are used as taxis and busses to transport goods, tourists, schoolchildren, workers, etcetera to their destinations. The boats meander and wend their way slowly though the log jam of traffic that make this one of the most interactive, interesting and memorable tourist attractions you will see. The markets start very early in the morning, and this is the best and most exuberant time to visit (the market closes around 11:00 A.M.). Arriving early allows you to see such things as sellers and food hawkers paddling past with people buying and eating food from the vendors, who cook and prepare hot food on their boats: this is true 'commerce and food on the go'.
WatKhanonWatKhanon is the home, last bastion and repository of the ancient Thai entertainment technique known as Nang Yai or 'shadow plays'. The temple is (in 2014) under Royal Patronage and support. WatKhanon holds the distinction of being awarded an Asia-Pacific Cultural Centre for UNESCO (ACCU) Award for its efforts in preserving this traditional art form and dance. The temple, known as 'WatKhanon - Nang Yai, is located in AmphoePhotharam (about an hour or two from DamnoenSaduak Floating Market).
WatKhao Chong PranWatKhao Chong Pran is generally known as the 'bat temple' and is located about 10 kilometres past KhaoNgu and 17 from Ratchaburi.The temple is most famous for its spectacular sunset sight of millions of bats flying out of their caves in search of food. The bats live in a cave called Phra Non, located immediately behind the monastery and each night, from between 17:30 and 18:30, they come out in black waves of fluidly inky streams of hunger. Not only is the sunset spectacular but with the interplay of the bats and the setting sun you get a truly unique and memorable experience.
WatKhongkharamThe murals of WatKhongkharam in AmphoePhotharam are its most famous attraction. The fine mural paintings about Lord Buddha's life in the main shrine hall are full of detail making them seem real. Apart from the restoration, accrediting the murals themselves is a difficult business as different sources date them differently. One learned source dates the murals from the Ayutthaya period (1350-1767): another source cites them as the early Bangkok period and yet another source cites them as King Rama III. Despite the ambiguity, they are very rare and worth studying. Located: The temple is located some 22 kilometers from Ratchaburi City at TambonKhlong Ta Khot, AmphoePhotharam. For more information, contact the Thai Tourism at their Phetchaburi Office on 0-3247-1005-6.
Christian Church at WatPraharuthaiThis church is located in the WatPleng District near the Kwae-Oam canal. About 100 years ago the original church was first built entirely by wood before undergone some renovation in 1967. The renovation took more than 20 years and finally completed in 1990. The church we see today is built in Gothic style which is beautiful and rarely found in Thailand
Ku Bua Ancient CityLocated in Tambon Ku Bua, AmphurMuang (about 8 kms south of the town hall) the city is surrounded by ditches. Great and ancient images of the Bodhisattva were found here and were transferred to WatKhlongSuwankiri of Tambon Ku Bua for safe keeping.
King Rama II Memorial ParkThis park was built under as a project to honour King Rama II: a great patron to the arts and culture and preserver of national heritage. It is run by the King Rama II Phraboromrachanusorn Foundation and is under royal patronage.
Operating Daily: 08:30 – 17:00
AmphawaWeekend MarketThis market operates as an afternoon floating market by the canal near WatAmphawanChetiyaram (where parking is available). The Amphawa Canal is occupied by vendors who pack their boats with food and drinks, such as fried sea mussel, noodles, coffee, O-liang (iced black coffee), sweets, etc.
The Market is near the King Rama II Memorial Park
Daily Operating time: 1400 - 2000
Open On Friday, Saturday and Sunday: 1200 – 2000.
Folding Umbrella Market or Rom-Hub MarketFolding Umbrella Market is also known as Tarad Rom-Hub or TaradMaeklong. The market is located on a train railway. Rom-Hub is named after vendors who are hurrying folding umbrella and pack up their goods just in time before the train pass through the market. It is the job of the vendors in the market to prepare themselves when they hear the signal from the station. After the train passed through, everything would be back in place as if the train was never existed.
Goods sold at this market are fresh products including fruit, vegetables, meat, and fresh seafood sold at reasonable prices. The market is open daily from 6:00 am to 18:00 pm. However, if tourists want to see the highlight when the train is passing through would need to visit accords to the train timetable.

Oh looky looky, another outfit of the day post. Aren't I getting confident? Hahaha. I jest, still having a minor anxiety – 'do I post, don't I post?' about these types of updates. BUT considering the ultra nice comments on my last outfit post I thought I'd do another one. It's also helping me to LOOK in my wardrobe and stop wearing the same 3 dresses in rotation all the time. I swear thats why I have so many clothes, I only tend to wear new ones, then as soon as I get something else I only wear that until something else is bought to replace it.
Today we have a pretty standard ensemble, I've been at work since yesterday morning at 8am and only just got home (3pm!) Working in a kids home proves to be pretty long hours it seems. Anyway I whipped in and just changed my trousers. I wear jeans for work, which is a new thing to me as I only wore dresses/skirts before. But jeans are more practical for the line of work it is.
This necklace is my favourite thing in the world EVER. It was from Bay before it closed down and cost something like £2. I bought one for my Japanese friend too before she shot back home over there, she absolutely loved it. The mustard yellow top is from Primark, I almost didn't buy it because it was £6, I'm pretty cheap you know and that seemed pricey from something from there. Glad I 'invested' though as it's probably my most worn top at the moment. Teamed with a shit green cardigan of course.
The skirt is from Forever 21, I bought it when I was in London ages ago. Don't you just adore how I've accessorised it with cat hairs? I love the cut of it as it's an A-Line and really flattering. Soz I didn't get a proper shot. I have about 5 tarteny skirts, god knows why. I don't even like tartan that much. Gimme some tweed.
And any opportunity I can I will show off about my Tara Mcpherson for Swatch watch. I love how it features not only her art but the one and only Carina the 3 eyed Space Kitty. It's also amazing because of the lovely pastel colours in it, I'm once again, so on trend dahhh-lingzzzz.

Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew and speak clearly. You may also feel embarrassed about the gap in your smile.
A variety of solutions exist for replacing missing teeth. If you neglect to address tooth loss, your oral and overall health may be in jeopardy.
Is it really necessary to replace missing teeth?
Each of your teeth is essential to proper dental function. One or more missing teeth can affect your bite, which can cause difficulty chewing and result in excessive wear. Additionally, it can affect your speech.
Your smile is one of your most notable features. Many patients feel self-conscious when they experience visible gaps in their smile as well as changes in their facial structure. Over time, this can take a significant toll on your confidence.
Once a single tooth has been lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. As the surrounding hard and soft tissues become less supportive, your other teeth will become loose and eventually fall out.
So what exactly happens to my bite if I lose a tooth?
Am I at risk of tooth loss?
Advanced decay and trauma can cause tooth loss. There are certain factors that may influence your risk:
It is highly recommended that you undergo a dental exam every six months so your doctor can catch harmful conditions, such as cavities, in their earliest stages.
What are the most common causes of missing teeth?
Typically, tooth loss is caused by poor oral health which leads to severe cavities or gum disease. These conditions can drastically impact the health of your teeth and the surrounding tissues.
Many patients suffer injuries such as fractured teeth by playing sports, using their teeth to open packages, and other accidents. If the damage is too severe to repair, your tooth may need to be removed.
In some cases, teeth never develop due to a genetic condition known as hypodontia. Congenitally missing teeth may occur in the front or rear of the mouth. Although the condition is not preventable, it still requires treatment to minimize the effects.
Do people really spend the money to replace missing teeth?
Approximately 178 million Americans are missing one or more teeth and 40 million are completely toothless. Currently, three million patients have replaced their missing teeth with dental implants and another half million undergo treatment each year. Implants offer several benefits over earlier forms of treatment.
*According to the American College of Prosthodontists and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry
What is the best way to treat a missing or extracted tooth?
There are two types of tooth replacement options: traditional and implant-supported. Traditional restorations include dental crowns, bridges, and dentures. However, these can all be attached to dental implants for greater stability.
Typically, implant-supported restorations are recommended whenever possible because they protect against further jawbone atrophy. During a consultation, your doctor can help determine which method is best for you.
I'm ready to address tooth loss and protect my smile...
If you are missing one or more teeth, or fear your tooth may be at risk of falling out, schedule a consultation as soon as possible with your doctor. An experienced oral health professional can help you plan treatment to protect your health and restore a natural appearance to your smile.
Dr Perry is a great dentist. Very kind and informative. I feel like he is personally invested in my health. He always takes the time to sit and discuss any issues I'm having - I never feel like they're rushing me out.

National Secretary of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Apostle Emmanuel, Nuhu Kure, who recently visited Ibadan, Oyo State, for a special prayer meeting tagged "Prophecy Convocation 2019", speaks with SEYI SOKOYA on the RUGA controversy and the challenges facing the body of Christ.
What is your reaction to the various challenges facing the country?
We are in a very sensitive period of transition in this nation and this is the time when God is picking people from the pit of hell they have gone through, resting them and their destinies and placing them in new places where Satan cannot touch. Except you understand the ways of the Lord, you cannot enter His glory and our business this time as midwives is to help people to enter into that glory and break the yokes of strange patterns that have not only bedevilled our nation, but also significantly manifested in individual lives. People are going through all kinds of troubles; it is not just about our economy. The question is why is the economy refusing to improve despite efforts the governments, both the current and the past, are putting into it. So, the Lord has shown us what is behind it and He is asking us as midwives to help Nigeria give birth in this day of His visitation from heaven. Nigeria is behind the clock in taking its leadership position in Africa and giving Africa the kind of leadership the continent has been waiting for. But God cannot wait for us, the coming of Jesus is at hand and His programme is already set. So, we are either part of it or God will choose other nations to replace us.
Buhari signs bill to establish Daura Federal Poly, others
As a northerner, what is your position on the rural grazing area planned by the government whose implementation has now been suspended?
I happen to come from the North, Kaduna precisely, and I must tell you, Nigeria must continue to resist the RUGA idea. President Muhammadu Buhari doesn't seem to have solutions to the problems in the land. The issue of Fulani unrest is not limited to Nigeria. It is everywhere. The same problem is happening in Mali now. In Niger, they are leaving the place because of drought to find better settlements and they know Nigeria has green lands. It is just what is happening in Southern Kaduna.
As one of the officials of PFN, how can unity between PFN and CAN be fostered?
There is no disunity between us and I am saying that with all responsibility. PFN did not prepare for the national crisis and attack on it. Former national president, Ayo Oritsejafor, laid a foundation; he saw the crisis coming and started setting boundaries and some efforts to forestall what will come in the future. He acted like a prophet, but others said he overdid it. So, everybody condemned and isolated him till now. PFN has been the association to keep the balance and we have been cool-headed in the midst of these crises and trying to reconcile all sides. Our leader is in his 70s; he doesn't rush things. So, PFN is not affected at all. Presently, we are the peacemakers and the association that is showing the direction. Though CAN got overwhelmed, now it is getting its act right. It is painful the few mistakes have unsettled us a little, but those mistakes have not wounded us.

I was recently undertaking a training session for a client of mine with a room full of new managers.
When I say new managers, I mean young and inexperienced. But eager to make the right impression and take advantage of new opportunities. The downside to this enthusiasm was that their soft skills were lacking and we needed to get them up to speed. And we needed to do this fast!
There were many things I wanted to go through with the team but I wanted to start with them as people first. Their style, how they want to be viewed as leaders and their personal brand. This confused them, after all, what does Personal Brand have to do with being a good leader? The answer is EVERYTHING!
Personal branding is essentially the ongoing process of establishing a prescribed image or impression in the mind of others about an individual, group, or organization (Creating Your Personal Brand – Los Ellis 2009)
In basic terms, this means: What is it that you want people to think of when they think of you? Is it your expertise in a subject manner? Or it the way you treat your staff or your communication style? Is it your confidence? Are there general qualities you want to be linked to you and your brand?
Whether you are managing and/or working with teams or meeting someone for the first time, first impressions count and are formed within 7 to 17 seconds of the initial meeting! So your style, confidence, body language, and speech are all vital to making a good first impression.
When meeting someone for the first time, I want you to consider these points:
55% of a person's opinion is determined by your physical appearance, including the way you carry yourself, your stance and your style.
38% of a person's first impression is determined by the tone of your voice.
93% of people's judgements of others are based on non-verbal communication like body language. Posture, facial expressions, and how you shake hands with a person (women included).
Whilst we now have very famous CEO's and leaders of business rocking up to work in their Adidas, Jeans, and T-shirt (think Google, Snapchat, Facebook, and Airbnb) how you present yourself must align with the industry you are in and the role you play within that space. Jeans and sneakers are not going to cut it in the Banking and Finance industry (even on a Friday). But nor is a three-piece suit appropriate for the Head Office of a Surf Retailer.
In the famous (or infamous) studies conducted by Prof. Mehrabian, words, the tone of voice, and body language respectively account for 7%, 38%, and 55% of personal communication. When conversing with people, it's not so much of what you say but HOW you say it (and how this is reflected in your body language).
Social media has also EXPLODED in modern business so how you project yourself in this space can make or break the opportunities you have in your professional life, whether meeting a new client or recruitment opportunities. How is your Personal Brand represented in business sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter? Is your photo appropriate to this?
How is your Personal Brand represented in business sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter? Is your photo appropriate to this area; do you have a relevant bio about your background, skills, and experience? Who do you want people to see? As a person who recruits staff for clients, LinkedIn is the first place I go when reviewing candidates and I have not proceeded when I have not seen something that excites me or aligns with the role or the experiences noted on a CV!
As a person who recruits staff for clients, LinkedIn is the first place I go when reviewing candidates and I have not proceeded when I have not seen something that excites me or aligns with the role or the experiences noted on a CV!
So, whether you are a leader in business, an up and coming team leader or attending a job interview, you MUST consider your personal brand and the environments and situations this will be the view to ensure it aligns with how YOU want to be remembered.

No doubt that is a question asked by millions of Christians throughout the centuries. Knowing the answer is vital for maximizing the quality of one's life as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? Because, as a study of Scripture will clearly show, speaking in tongues is the only absolute proof a Christian has that he is born again and guaranteed a parking place in Paradise, i.e., everlasting life (2 Cor. 1:21 and 22; Eph. 1:13 and 14; 1 John 3:24).
Speaking in tongues is the only valid external, tangible evidence in the senses realm that the internal, intangible gift of holy spirit was shed abroad in your heart at the moment of your New Birth. Please do not hear me saying that you must speak in tongues in order to be born again, because anyone who adheres to Romans 10:9 is saved, permanently. But speaking in tongues is the vitally important proof that you are forever a child of God.
That is why it is called a manifestation of the spirit (1 Cor. 12:7). A "manifestation" is an evidence, a proof of something. In the Bible, speaking in tongues is NEVER called a "gift," and that distinction is critical. A "gift" is something that you do not have unless someone gives it to you, but a "manifestation" is an evidence of something you already have. A Swiss Army Knife provides the perfect illustration: if someone gives you one, you have one knife with multiple functions contained within it. Ditto for the one gift of holy spirit: it comes with nine ways of utilizing it, and one of them is speaking in tongues.
1 Corinthians 14:5 cannot be more plain: God says that He wants every Christian to speak in tongues. And God does not ask us to do something we cannot do.
The second most important thing about speaking in tongues is that it vividly illustrates to the believer the most basic principle of the Christian walk, which is trusting the Word of our heavenly Father. It is just like when Peter was in the boat with the other disciples and saw Jesus walking by on the water. He said, "I want to do that," and Jesus said, "Come on." If Peter had not stepped out of the boat into the water, he would never have known whether it would hold him up. Likewise, if you do not open your mouth and speak, trusting God to provide the words, you will never know if it will work. The truth is, it cannot fail.
Speaking in tongues is also a beautiful way to circumvent the limited vocabulary of our native tongue and tell our Father that we love Him. It is a way to perfectly worship (Phil. 3:3) and praise (1 Cor. 14:16) the Creator, to give thanks well (1 Cor. 14:17), to speak the wonderful works of God (Acts 2:11–KJV), to magnify Him (Acts 10:46–KJV), to edify yourself (1 Cor. 14:4) and to build yourself up in faith (Jude 20).
If you have never spoken in tongues, and you would like to do so, we can help you. Just go to these articles: "What Is Speaking In Tongues and Why Does God Say To Do It?" "Speaking in Tongues;" "Groaning for Liberation?" "The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ;" and "God's Witness to His Witnesses;" and these teaching videos: "God's Guarantee: Speaking In Tongues" and "What is Interpretation of Tongues." Also see our class: "One Day With The Creator," especially Segments 20 and 21. We have a book which covers this subject in detail: "The Gift of Holy Spirit: The Power To Be Like Christ." And last, but not least, from our Rockin' the Radio Show: "What is Speaking in Tongues and Why Does God Want Each Christian to Just Do It? [2012-11]."

Going by the current trends with the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X, Ubisoft CEO believes that the PS5 and next Xbox console are at least two years away from getting released.
Microsoft and Sony decided at the same time to launch a mid-cycle refresh for their Playstation 4 and Xbox One consoles. The decision has come at the right time when console lifecycles are very less compared to the days of PS2 or Xbox.
"We think there is at least a minimum of two years before the next consoles are announced. Besides, Xbox One X got launched just now and Microsoft or Sony may not choose to bring another hardware soon. We are really happy to have got more powerful systems for our developers to explore and offer great gaming experience," said Yves Guillemot.
He added that not only Assassin's Creed Origins but a lot of future AAA titles will look beautiful on these consoles. Origins has already sold double the number than Syndicate and the same happened for Call of Duty World War II as well.
When good games are made, gamers obviously support the developers and it is up to them to offer compelling content to keep players coming back for more.

Technically, WordPress started life as a blogging platform. However, it's long since evolved into something much more versatile. Today people use it to build nearly every type of website you can imagine. Still, you should never commit to a platform unless you're sure it offers all the features you need.
WordPress' plugin and theme systems lie at the heart of its versatility. If you know how to use the platform and what tools to choose, you can use it to build just about any type of website. That includes one-page sites, portfolios, online stores, and much more.
In this article, we're going to talk about several types of websites, and explain why using WordPress makes perfect sense for each of them. We'll also show you how our Uncode theme can make it even easier to create your ideal site. Let's get to it!
1. Blogs
Blogs are still the bread and butter of WordPress. Even though the platform is capable of tackling much more complex projects, it still offers a lot of features that make it particularly easy to create and manage blogs.
Most blogs center around a home page that displays all the latest posts. Ideally, this page should display post titles, featured images, excerpts from your posts, and everything else necessary to catch a reader's attention. The idea is to give visitors a clear idea of what each post is all about, so they feel compelled to click on it.
This is easy to achieve by picking a theme like Uncode, which offers blog-specific layouts that make room for all the most important features:
Of course, modern blogs often contain elements beyond these basics. For example, you'll probably want to include social media links, contact forms, and other advanced features. Again, the right plugins and themes can make this simple. Uncode supports both social media sharing buttons and contact form integration, which means you can stay in touch with readers and focus on building up a strong audience.
Overall, WordPress remains one of the best options available when it comes to blogging. If you're considering starting your own blog, this is the perfect platform to use.
2. Portfolios
A portfolio is a step up from blogs when it comes to complexity, and there's usually a lot of variation from one example to the next. Some people like to include extensive galleries to showcase their work, while others focus on creating compelling About Me sections. Regardless of its focus, a successful portfolio should always provide potential clients with plenty of information about you and samples of your work. The goal is to give them everything they need to know about why they should hire you.
As far as we're concerned, galleries are the best feature to use when creating a successful portfolio. WordPress includes decent gallery features out of the box, enabling you to showcase your work. However, there's always room for improvement, which is where Uncode comes in with its wide variety of gallery options.
More importantly, the theme packs a massive amount of image-related features, such as the ability to create album galleries. This functionality enables you to divide your work into separate galleries, and display everything on a single page:
A compelling portfolio should be stylish, and prove that you're a professional. With Uncode, you have access to all the features you need to fulfill both criteria.
3. Landing Pages
Landing pages are standalone websites designed to sell visitors a service or a product. To be successful, landing pages need to be incredibly compelling, since their goal is to convert users as quickly as possible.
In terms of functionality, these websites tend to be straightforward. They usually consist of alternating sections that use text and images to showcase the product or service in question. This kind of layout is easy enough to create using WordPress. With a theme like Uncode, you can even get a variety of pre-designed landing page layouts, which makes it simple to just drop in your own information and imagery:
However, things get more complicated when it's time to process sales and subscriptions. WordPress can't handle e-commerce out of the box, but the community does offer a broad range of plugins you can use to add that functionality to your website. Uncode even includes several pre-built layouts you can use to set up pricing tables as an advertising tool.
If you want complete control over your landing page, you don't even have to rely on the starting Uncode templates. The theme also contains an advanced drag-and-drop website builder that can help you add, style, and move elements around on your pages. With this tool, you don't need to know much about web development to create pages with advanced functionality. All it takes is a little time to build the perfect design.
4. Small Business Websites
Small business websites are sometimes referred to as 'brochure sites'. This is because their primary purpose is to introduce visitors to your company and explain what you do. That means including key information about your business' mission and purpose, as well as providing contact information, updates about new developments, and more.
These are all features WordPress can make short work of. You can easily create as many pages as you want, and link them together using its menu functionality. However, if you want people to take your business seriously, your website needs to look like it was built by a professional. That's where Uncode comes in, with its broad range of business-ready layouts you can use to kickstart your development:
Once you have the bones of your website in place, you can add in some more complex functionality. Useful features for business site include contact forms, quote carousels, team member sections, and so on.
5. Online Stores
Online stores (or 'e-commerce sites') are one of the most complex types of websites you can tackle. Depending on your goals and ambitions, you'll probably need to add dozens of pages, shopping functionality, a review system, product galleries, and much more.
As we mentioned earlier, WordPress doesn't support e-commerce out of the box. However, you can add online shopping functionality to your website very easily, using plugins such as WooCommerce. This makes creating an online store, adding products, and integrating payment systems quite simple, even for beginners.
When your online store is configured, you need to style your product pages and catalog to attract purchases. Uncode can help you with that. The theme includes several catalog layouts you can use to showcase your wares, as well as single product pages that make each item stand out. Uncode product pages all feature gorgeous galleries, easy-to-click purchase buttons, and item descriptions:
That's all you need when it comes to showcasing basic products. However, Uncode also provides advanced functionality that larger stores might need, such as ways to showcase sale prices and display product reviews.
Other Situations Where Using WordPress Makes Sense
The five examples above encompass some of the most popular types of websites you can create. However, there are plenty of other projects you can tackle with WordPress and Uncode.
Just to give you an idea of what's possible, there are over 50,000 free plugins available for you to choose from. If that's not enough, there are also plenty of premium options. The same holds true for themes. For this reason, you have nearly endless combinations of style and functionality to choose from when working in WordPress.
We've run across nearly every type of WordPress website you can imagine, including members-only sites, social media platforms…
…and even government sites:
The opportunities WordPress offers are nearly infinite, and they're growing by the day. If you've never worked on a website before and you're looking for a robust yet easy-to-use platform, WordPress should be at the top of your list. When you add in a versatile theme like Uncode, there's not much you can't do.
It goes without saying at this point, but we're big fans of WordPress. The platform is both powerful and easy to use. Plus, with the right plugins and themes, you can use it to create just about anything. WordPress websites make up almost 30% of the entire web, and there's plenty of variety within those numbers.
If you're not sure where to start looking for the right tools to build your WordPress website, choosing Uncode as your theme is an excellent first step. Our multi-purpose theme includes features that can help you create any type of website, including:
- Blogs. WordPress remains the best blogging platform out there, and Uncode enables you to add plenty of key features.
- Portfolios. By using the layouts and features included with Uncode, you can build a compelling and professional portfolio in no time.
- Landing pages. With Uncode's templates and drag-and-drop builder, creating a stunning landing page becomes easy
- Small business websites. Uncode enables you to easily build a brochure site, with all the functionality needed to promote your business.
- Online stores. With WooCommerce, you can quickly put together an online store. You can then use the e-commerce layouts provided by Uncode to make it look amazing.
