It's been a little while, but now it's time to look at the next installment in the Olympic Game series. This one has been a mixed bag for me because some of the titles here have been really solid while others were pretty bland. I have to put Sochi in the weaker half as well. While it does have the best story in the series the gameplay is definitely the weakest. The game made the odd decision of having you switch between the Gamepad and the Wii remote constantly for story mode. That's just an odd decision if you ask me and it's one that slows everything down. I'll go into that more in a second.
The story revolves around Team Sonic and Team Mario getting ready for another round of competition. They are interrupted when a giant castle shows up and mysterious keys lock down all of the doors. The heroes will have to fight past shadow versions of themselves to make it to the top and find out who is doing this. What mastermind could possibly be giving the heroes such a difficult fight? One thing's for sure, the heroes can't afford to hold back if they want to claim victory here.
So I definitely do give the game credit for actually adding a story here. That's where the credit stops. I'll talk about the positives in a minute, but the controls need to be addressed right away. Not only do you have to switch controls but you have to have the Wii Remote Plus or you won't even be allowed to play the story. It's a pretty slick way of making sure everyone bought the add on, but definitely a shady method if you ask me. The player shouldn't be required to jump through all these hoops just to have some fun playing these Olympic titles.
Would it have been so hard to have just made all of the minigames Gamepad compatible? It's just really strange that you have to keep switching. Also, the series has never been particularly good with this, but it's really hard to understand the controls at a glance here. You can see the controls after you've paused the game, but the first time around you'll probably be winging it. The controls are heavily motion based as well so get ready for the game to keep doing things when you don't want it to. As a result this can make the game a bit more difficult than it is actually supposed to be which is definitely pretty iffy.
On the positive side, the graphics look pretty good as always. It's always nice to see modern Sonic and Mario on the same screen here. All of the characters look sharp and the same goes for the level designs and animations. The soundtrack is also quite solid as it gives us various remixes for both the Mario and Sonic titles. This adds a little spice to the mini games for sure. It also just makes a lot of sense since the game should not use any generic themes when it has such a vast library of good tunes to choose from. That's the way I see it anyway.
There's a good amount of replay value here. The games are all made to be ones that you can replay a lot with friends and family to just have a good time. There are a lot of records to break and content to unlock. It's not quite as vast as the first Winter Olympic Games which had a whole store filled with things to buy, but it's definitely not bad either. There are a lot of modes here, but of course what will ultimately decide whether you want to play or not is how much you like the minigames.
On that note, they are very hit or miss. There are some minigames that are a lot of fun like Hockey, sliding down the hill, skateboarding, bobsledding, etc. On the other hand, there is the classic Curling game which seems to make it in every year. This game is as bad as it always was with the outcome basically being luck and the game drags on forever. You never get to walk in and out for this title. The dancing minigames also take quite a while to end. I believe they may be 4-5 minutes long which may not sound crazy, but for a minigame that is really pushing it.
At the end of the day the Olympic series has always seemed like a watered down version of Mario Party. The various games usually aren't made with quite as much heart and there's always a dicey one in there somewhere. Most of the games are good and I think they'll all be reasonably enjoyable once you're not playing a computer. This is still a good party game, but it's definitely not the first one I'd recommend getting. I'm hoping that the new one coming out for the Switch does something different. I haven't played the newest Olympics title yet so maybe by now they've fixed everything, but I can say that t this point in time I'm not in a huge rush to get the next one. I certainly will, but I do hope it's better than this one.
Overall, The Sochi 2014 games aren't a whole lot different from the other years. I feel like they phoned this game in to an extent. Many of the games share the same controls and aren't terribly inspired. At the same time, the story is fun though and I think you can get some good enjoyment out of this one. The game is pretty cheap by this point so it isn't much of an investment. I think it's also fair to say that the game is not misleading. You should absolutely know what you're getting yourself into before you play the game. It's very straightforward about this so I think even without this review you should know whether you enjoy it or not. If you decide to buy the game then just be prepared to switch controllers every other match.
Overall 6/10

Toshiba has posted information about their laptop battery recall, including how to manually identify affected batteries.
You can read the support bulletin here:
– CSD.Toshiba.com (Document ID: 98082281).
It looks like for now, it only affects owners of these laptops:
– Toshiba Satellite A100
– Toshiba Tecra A7
Looks like ultraportable owners are in the clear. Toshiba is actually going to replace around 10,000 batteries, just to be safe, but apparently it only affects around 5,000 or so.

This thread reminds me that wisdom teeth fucking suck.
I am surprised that the pineal eye was not mentioned in this article.
Living fossils like the remora have a pineal eye but so do tuataras, a land dwelling lizard. Dog brains occasionally feature pineal eyes. It also gets tons of mention in reference to the egyptian god Horus, who had a third eye. in humans, the pineal gland (in the third ventricle of the brain, produces serotonin and melatonin, derivatives of tryptophan, possibly explaining the feelings of well being and sleepiness on thanksgiving) is the only body part sensitive to light through the retinohypothalmic tract. Organisms with pineal eyes have taken the middle man out of the equation and just expose extensions of the gland directly to sunlight (a better argument for trephening the depressed insomniac has never been made). Occasional mutations in humans reveal similar projections in humans.
Also, this is just for the curious in the audience, would you like to see what inspired the legend of the cyclops? Just google holoprosencephaly.
i was juuuust reading about this in evolutionary psych like 'WHAAAATTTTTTTTT'
Holoprosencephaly or pineal eyes?

There has never been a woman with cheekbones quite as glorious as Cher's. In the '70s, the pop queen spent her evenings grooving under the shimmering light of countless disco balls, pausing only for the snapshots that still exist today.
While the diva's sharply-angled cheekbones were due, in part, to Cher's Cherokee heritage, they were also the product of a makeup artist named Way Bandy. Bandy, now deceased, created a blush-sculpting look known as "draping" and it's about to kick contouring to the curb.
That's thanks, in part, to Marc Jacobs Beauty, which recently dropped a line of Air Blush Soft Glow Duos that feature dark and light shades in an ultra-fine powder formula. Instead of using highlighter, blush, bronzer and 84 different makeup brushes to create your makeup look, Bandy's technique only calls for two complementary shades of rouge to "drape" the face in color.
I've never met a beauty technique I didn't want to endlessly obsess over and tell everyone about, so draping is really consuming my life at the moment. The idea is to give yourself a rosy, natural face lift by drawing attention to the high points of your face. Essentially, trick everyone into thinking you're Cher (not 2016 Cher, who mostly just tweets unintelligible word vomit).
Choose two neutral shades of blush -- I'm a huge fan of Milani Cosmetics' $8 baked blushes -- and a fluffy brush. Using an extra light touch, apply the darker shade directly under your cheekbones and blend out and upward with the paler shade. Then, bring that second color around your eyes in a C-shape. If you're feeling extra fancy, add the lighter color to the tip of your chin and down the center of your neck.
The result? A glowing, flushed face that says, "Do you believe in life after love?" The disco era is back and it's better looking than ever.

Trip reference number: 46300
Trip Operator: Ramblers Walking Holidays
From: £5061.00
Guided Walking Holidays - The Magic of Patagonia Where the craggy peaks of the Patagonian Andes are too steep sided to hold snow, bare rocks pierce the sky. The famous Torres del Paine are perhaps the most well known example of this. Snowy mountains are common but here things are different. We begin our Patagonian journey in Buenos Aires where we take in all the iconic sights and sounds of the city, including an unmissable tango night. Then on to El Chaten for some rewarding walking with magnificent views of Fitzroy and the surrounding peaks. One of our walks ends on the shores of Lago Torre, where there are great views of Cerro Torre and of the Grande Glacier. Water is everywhere in Patagonia. Streams fall from the mountains into rivers and lakes. A boat trip from El Calafate takes us past immense icebergs, floating gently by as we cruise alongside a vertical wall of ice. Perhaps well be lucky and witness the glacier calving, although if you hear the noise, youve already missed the sight. From Torres del Paine the walking is superb, and in this treeless world the views are always expansive. You may notice an alpaca has strolled into view or an Andean condor draws your eye as it crosses the sun. These are not experiences to be had elsewhere. Well explore valleys and hills always with the Andean peaks as a backdrop. Light and shadow change constantly as southern winds drive clouds€ross the sun; this is nature at its wildest. We leave Torres del Paine and drive south to Punta Arenas, we are out of the mountains here, the town is surrounded by flat barren plains and open water. Well have time to explore before our flight to Santiago. Well have a morning in Santiago and our local guide will make sure we see all the highlights of the city. Literary buffs might be attracted to sites associated with Pablo Neruda, Chile's Nobel prize winning poet.

Joe Hart reportedly left out of England World Cup squad
Can't say this is particularly surprising
Joe Hart has reportedly been told that he will not be included in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the summer's World Cup in Russia.
The West Ham United goalkeeper has struggled for form in recent seasons, most notably during his ill-fated loan spell at Serie A side Torino, and has made a series of high-profile errors during his time at the London Stadium.
Doubts over his possible selection have also intensified due to the impressive performances of Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope, Everton's Jordan Pickford and Stoke's Jack Butland, and it now appears that Hart himself has had the news confirmed to him.
Sky Sports reports that Gareth Southgate has already decided against selecting Hart as third-choice goalkeeper, which suggests that Pope - a hitherto unknown number one prior to this season - will be taken as the squad back up goalkeeper.
Hart made his England debut in 2008 and currently has 75 caps for his country. His last display for the Three Lions was in a goalless draw with Brazil in November 2017, a game which is increasingly looking like his final appearance.

What Are The Keys To A Happy Marriage?
If you've been married for a long time, or known of a couple who has been married for a long time, one of the most common asked questions is, "What is the key to your success?".
No one enters into a marriage with the thought that if it doesn't work, I can get a divorce. We enter into it with the intent that we will grow old together, and with a sense of commitment. Unfortunately, life and circumstances creep into our marriages, and without being equipped with the proper tools, many marriages simply dissolve- about 50% of them. According to marriage.com, the top reasons for divorce are cited as follows:
- Infidelity
- Money
- Lack of Communication
- Constant Arguing
- Weight Gain/Problems with Intimacy
- Unrealistic Expectations
- Lack of Intimacy
- Lack of Equality
- Not Being Prepared
- Abuse/Addictions
In our March issue, we address these common issues in marriage. We take these common challenges back to the Bible and demonstrate that there is no situation that God cannot repair in a marriage. Often, simple solutions, honest, open communication, and a willing attitude are enough to put a marriage back on the road to success. Also, in addition to addressing these issues, we've added a few of our own! We've chosen to address how husbands and wives should treat each other- really treat each other according to scripture. Often, how we are taught to treat each other by the world is only a recipe for disaster in terms of marriage. Unfortunately, most couples are not taught the biblical roles that they should play in marriage, and why this is so. For some, it may sound out-dated and old-fashioned. However, if you are honest, it may be the source of your unhappiness.
Love your spouse? Want to know the keys to having that long-lasting marriage where you are head-over-heels in love with each other? Read our next issue coming out on February 26, 2018!

- What paints do you use?
We generally use Benjamin Moore, Kelly Moore, or Sherwin Williams Top Quality paints. However, we will work with you to choose the best product for the job. When it comes to paint, you get what you pay for. More expensive paints have better quality ingredients. By using better ingredients, you will generally get better durability, flow, and overall quality. This will help to keep your paint in good condition for a longer time, which saves you time and money in the long run.
- What does VOC stand for?
Solvents used in paints are often called volatile organic compounds or VOC. These are highly evaporative substances used as carriers to impart adequate application and drying characteristics to the paint. These toxic substances are known to contribute to indoor and outdoor air pollution, as well as a host of human health problems. VOC found in paints can release low-level toxic emissions into the air for years after application. We strive to use the lowest VOC products that will provide the best results for the project.
- Why are the paints you use better for the environment?
Benjamin Moore, Kelly Moore, and Sherwin Williams paints have made great strides in technology by using new raw materials to lower VOC content in their products, while improving application and film performance. Products developed from this technology are replacing current alkyd products that have higher VOC contents.
- Will I be sacrificing quality if I choose a non-toxic paint over a conventional paint?
We choose paint according to three basic attributes: coverage, durability, and scrub-ability. Coverage is the ability of the paint to cover the underlying surface. Durability is how well the painted surface lasts when exposed to normal wear and tear. Scrub-ability is simply how well the paint withstands abrasion with regular cleaning. In all three criteria, these manufacturers have produced low or no VOC paints that are exceptional by our standards and those of our clients.
- What is the difference between water-based latex and oil-based paint?
Water-based paints are generally easier to use and clean up with water. High quality latex paints also have better adhesion and higher resistance to bleaching and fading. Oil-base paints have more durability yet they omit a strong smell and they fade faster. However, both types of paint will do an excellent job for everyday use.
- What is the difference in the various finishes?
These terms indicate the sheen or gloss level, or degree of light reflectance, of the paint. Basically, these are terms that are used to describe paint's shininess.
High Gloss Finish
- Where to Use: Kitchen and bathroom walls, kitchen cabinets, banisters and railings, trim, furniture, door jambs and window sills
- Comments: More durable, stain-resistant and easier to wash. However, the higher the gloss, the more likely surface imperfections will be noticed.
- Where to use: Kitchen and bathroom walls, hallways, children's rooms, playrooms, doors, woodwork and trim.
- Comments: More stain-resistant and easier to clean than flat paints. Better than flat for high-traffic areas.
Satin or Silk (Range overlapping eggshell and semi-gloss)
- Where to use: Similar characteristics to semi-gloss and eggshell.
- Comments: Similar characteristics to semi-gloss and eggshell.
- Where to use: Can be used in place of flat paints on wall surfaces especially in halls, bathrooms and playrooms. Can be used in place of semi-gloss paints on trim for a less shiny appearance.
- Comments: It resists stains better than flat paint and gives a more lustrous appearance.
- Where to use: For general use on walls and ceilings. Hides surface imperfections.
- Comments: Stain removal can be difficult. Use for uniform, non-reflecting appearance. Best suited for low-traffic areas.

We found out the person behind this cowardly hate flyer that was circulated in Janesville over the weekend. Not only was this ridiculous and hate filled but it was meant strictly to intimidate the teachers of Janesville. Well one person stepped forward to deflect the credit from the people who actually circulated the attack.
HT Democurmudgeon:
Seymore on the anger of anonymous unpopular cowardly tea party snakes: "They're angry that the teachers are getting such a good deal, and the taxpayers are paying for that.Well Mr. Seymer if its such a good deal, why aren't you doing it? Here at Cog Diss we do our research and have come upon breaking news. It appears that Mr. Seymer is still bitter that his acting career piqued in 1984.

Pros: Refined road manners for a pickup truck; good selection of modern comfort, safety, and technology features
Cons: Rear seat space is tight, especially in extended-cab models; prices rise quickly as options are added; Colorado (except for ZR2) doesn't offer the more-sophisticated full-time 4-wheel drive system that is available on the GMC Canyon
CG Says: The 2018 Chevrolet Colorado gains an available Active Tow feature that uses the rearview camera to help align trailer hook up. Also, the base touchscreen grows from 4.2 inches to seven. Both the Chevrolet Colorado and its upscale cousin, the GMC Canyon, are really more midsize than compact. However, they are notably smaller than the typical full-size pickup, which makes them a bit easier to manage in tight quarters. Gasoline 4-cylinder and V6 engines, and a diesel engine are available, as are extended-cab and crew-cab body styles. A standard cab is not offered. The ZR2 model offers greater off-road capabilities and is the only 4×4 Colorado with full-time four-wheel drive. Available features include forward collision alert, lane-departure warning, locking rear differential, and hill-descent control. The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon are a shot in the arm to the dwindling compact-pickup segment. They offer up-to-date technology features and all-around refinement. Though pricing on top-line Colorados reaches into the realm of some lesser-equipped full-size pickups, the smaller, more-tractable dimensions should make Colorado a practical alternative for many big-truck intenders.

City Water Board Executive Charged With Assault on Wife
County Legislator Kathryn Lance is victim
By Mike Hudson
A decorated Army veteran who worked closely with native forces in Afghanistan combating terrorism, Lance retired from the military as a major last year before taking the position with the Water Board.
His wife, a second-year legislator whose Wheatfield district includes the industrial and commercial areas along Niagara Falls Boulevard, serves as chairwoman of the Legislature' Economic Development Committee.
The incident occurred at the couple's Wheatfield home at 47 Winbert Drive shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday, police said. The couple's teenage daughter, Meredith, was present at the time, which caused officials from the county's Child Protective Services unit to become involved in the case.
This is the second arrest in just over a year for the Water Board executive. On Aug. 26, 2012, he was busted by North Tonawanda cops following an altercation outside Dwyer's Irish Pub on Webster Street.
Police said Lance became involved in an altercation with several individuals, claiming that one of them made a lewd remark about his older daughter, who was with him at the tavern.
Witnesses said it was Lance who started the fracas, although he came out on the losing end of the fight.
Lance's appointment to the $70,000-a-year Water Board position late last year stirred controversy after board member and former county Legislator Renae Kimble publicly described the job as a "political patronage" position.
"They went through a lot to get this man ramrodded into this position and I really, really resent that," Kimble said.
Kimble said she was told other water board members were "lobbied" by attorney Henry Wojtaszek - the former Niagara County Republican chairman and ally of state Sen. George Maziarz -- to cast their votes for Lance.
"He was the least qualified of all the candidates for the position, and that's what bothered me," Kimble said.
For his part, Maziarz said he had nothing to do with Lance's appointment and added that domestic violence is unacceptable regardless of circumstances.
"It's an unfortunate situation for the family," he said. "But domestic violence can't be tolerated under any circumstance."
Sources close to the family told the Niagara Falls Reporter they believe Lance is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder as a result of his experiences in Afghanistan, where he commanded elements of that country's army in the battlefield.
He was involved in special operations, leading a team of 10 Americans and 535 Afghans at Khar Khot, a former Taliban stronghold and the scene of much bloody combat.
He was awarded the Bronze Star, the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service medal, the National Defense medal, the Army Commendation medal, and the Army Achievement medal for his service.
Kathryn Lance, a breast cancer survivor, was treated and released for her injuries at Mount St. Mary's Hospital.
Her freshman term as a legislator has been hallmarked by attention to economic development, breast cancer awareness, and the never ending struggle to keep the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station from being shut down by the federal government.
Despite the seriousness of the violent incident, no report was made available to the media by the Sheriff's Department.
According to Undersheriff Michael Felicetti, an arrest warrant was issued for Lance and he turned himself in. He was released on his own recognizance following an arraignment, Felicetti said.
Asked why there was no police report made available, Felicetti said department policy dictates that domestic violence incidents not be publicized in order to protect the victims.
"It is a domestic, but we certainly wouldn't share the details," Felicetti said.
Friends of the couple say they have separated, with Mrs. Lance staying in the family home.

Amidst the political storm that has been plaguing the news cycles, one debate has been lost: Is the penny worth it? As of 2016, it costs the U.S. Mint 1.5 cents to produce just one penny. This has made many skeptical of just why the United States continues to produce the penny. While some think the penny should be forgotten about, others maintain the idea that losing the penny will create major problems with pricing and taxes.
When asked how she felt about the penny, Urbandale High School junior, Olivia Davison, replied, "I think that's a waste of money. That's stupid. To be honest, I don't even use pennies. If the total is four dollars and one cent, I'm just going to give them five dollars." Other students at Urbandale High School agree with Davison. "I don't really like them," replied senior, Isaac Erbes. "I take them and put them in a jar and don't do anything with them. Every year I turn them in and generally have around ten dollars," explained Erbes.
When asked if he would pick up a penny if he saw one, senior, Luke Patzner responded, "Oh no. Not worth my time. If we lived in the 1950s, I'd probably pick them up. We live in 2018 and nothing costs under a dollar."
Students at Urbandale High School are not the only ones who think the penny is not worth America's time and money. Economics teachers, Anne LaPietra and Joanne Hale, gave their opinions on the matter. "It would save the government money. Most people throw pennies away. Every penny adds up!" exclaimed LaPietra. Joanne Hale however, claimed to be down "the middle of the road." "It's pretty," said Hale. "It's shiny. Abraham Lincoln is on it, but he's also on the five dollar bill."
While the debate regarding the penny will continue on, the conclusion from Urbandale High School is clear: the penny is not worthwhile.

Royal Eggs
The first egg was presented in 1885 as an Easter gift from Czar Alexander III to his wife and was proclaimed the most beautiful gift ever given. The advent of the first jeweled egg gift sparked a tradition among Russian czars and members of aristocracy for the next three decades. On Easter Sunday, the reigning Emperor would present an egg to his wife or mother. Painstakingly created, luxurious Faberge eggs are a testament to his unique passion for creating breathtaking, handmade pieces of art.

In one of the many depressing stories about the coronavirus, we read that Dr. Anthony Fauci now requires an enhanced security detail due to several death threats against him. As the government's top expert on infectious is perhaps America's most essential worker at the moment, but his willingness to present hard facts and occasionally contradict President Donald Trump's statements seems to have some provoked a murderous rage in some deranged individuals.
They've been encouraged by some of the Trump-friendly media, who believe that the measures Fauci has advocated to fight the coronavirus outbreak cause harm to the economy that outweighs the number of lives they might save. They also believe that Fauci isn't helping to get Trump reelected, and that also outweighs the number of lives that might saved.
The cache of e-mails that were hacked from the Democratic National Committee and leaked to the public during the last election included a missive from Fauci praising Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and although Fauci has served every administration since President Ronald Reagan brought him on board that was enough for internet publications such as Gateway Pundit and American Thinker to tar him as a Hillary-loving partisan. His long and distinguished career as a public servant are considered suspect in certain circles, as it suggests he part of the "deep state" conspiracy against Trump and everything good. When Trump referred to the State Department as the "Deep State Department" during a press briefing Fauci could be seen slapping his forehead, and that was proof of his complicity to a number of viewers.
The Trump-friendly made a general distrust of scientific experts, as well, as they're seen as pointy-headed know-it-all "elites" undermining democracy. As recently as last week radio-talker Rush Limbaugh was advising his listeners that "the 'deep state' extends very deeply, we did not elect a bunch of health experts that we don't know. We didn't elect a president to defer to a bunch of health experts that we don't know."
Trump has lately begun striking the same somber tone and citing the same grim projections as Fauci, though, and seems to be taking Fauci's advice more seriously than he does Limbaugh's. We hope the Trump-friendly media will lighten up, and that Fauci survives not only the coronavirus but also the result craziness.

Aspire Tigon Crossover Tank
Sturdy construction with fantastic versatility, interchangeable drip tips and crossover capability
on orders over £25
Aspire Tigon Crossover Tank
The innovative Tigon tank from Aspire is designed for use with the Tigon kit and offers fantastic versatility with two interchangeable drip tips to accommodate different inhalation styles. The first mouthpiece included with the tank is elongated with a small bore hole and is ideal for the restricted, mouth-to-lung style of vaping experienced when smoking a traditional cigarette. The second drip tip is shorter in size with a wider bore hole and offers an airier vape with an unrestricted draw, more reminiscent of the inhalation style experienced when using a higher-wattage sub ohm device.
There are two compatible coils supplied with the Tigon, each offering a different vaping experience and allowing you to tailor your kit to reflect your personal preferences. A 1.2ohm coil is perfect for mouth-to-lung vaping and performs especially well when paired with the elongated drip tip option and used between 10-12 watts. A second coil is rated at 0.4ohm and provides a loose, airy draw which mimics that of a sub ohm device. The 0.4ohm coil option performs at its best when used in higher wattage modes between 23-28 watts.
The Tigon tank also boasts an extremely innovative and efficient design feature which completely revolutionises the way you refill your tank. Rather than having to empty the remaining e-liquid from your tank or wait for the e-liquid to reach a certain level before changing your coil, the Tigon tank effectively seals the wicking holes when the coil is removed and prevents e-liquid from escaping or leaking out. This ground-breaking technology also allows you to change your coil without having to turn the tank upside down, making for a cleaner, more convenient experience and giving you the freedom to switch between coils whenever you please.

"Because of the huge impact humans have on all other Life we feel that it is important that this programmed "inability" to accept the past and thus free the associated story around it from the body is being addressed. Remembering Syntropy and the various virtues that this strategy is woven with is paramount to making any deep sense out of Souvereignty or any of the Self Love Schools of thought. Without remembering how all of Life functions and what its' strategy is and namely in that remembering that we Humans are alive and *of Life*, made from Life, and an intimate intimate part of the greater Web of Life; Without remembering this, the slumber just lingers on and nothing much majorly is changing in the way a human Life is being navigated.
This is equally a Life full of suffering, full of regrets, hopes, dreams, wishes for the future and a deep sadness that wants to be heard, acknowledged and accepted by others, at first. You have worked out that all these subtle and super relevant ways of authentically relating are able to be brought into awareness within those that are Willing to enquire within and from there go and openly explore the story, situation, experience or *past lived memories*.
So the key teaching of Syntropy in the individuals' journey of remembering all aspects of it self is the intimate, innate connection to mother Earth, the 4th principle of earths' 5 principles of Living existence.
When humans can remember that all of Life operates WITH Life and does never deny growth from being the natural cause for Life to navigate on, then they can apply this onto their own cells also as they recognise that they themselves are of Life. We are Life. As much as a blade of grass is Life so are all humans, no exceptions made. Life is all about inclusion, collaboration, assisting, nurturing, receiving and giving and being fully unconditionally present and in acceptance of each given present moment.
Humans can remember a lot about this natural process that they themselves operate against and through this going against (living in entropic navigation against Life's natural current) Life within itself. When this is remembered a choice from the simplicity of such awareness arises. A choice that has always been there as it is for many life forms. This choice however has been programmed out of the average awareness of humanity and this unawareness is being handed down and reaffirmed almost daily through all the cult programming that is predominantly active within the so called "westernised" countries. It is entropy feeding itself with more entropic frequencies for navigating; Life. Ironically all Life is so free that it can literally choose to do this "going against" the Syntropic Nature of its own innate wiring and ironically only humans do this to themselves and others.
Freeing oneself up from this illusion that underlies a lot of the collective suffering of humanity is important for the Syntropic Strategy of all other Life to reach its fullest potential in expressing what it was wired for and came here to be, become and give to the greater expression that the collective reality of all of Life on earth is here to be: a beautiful dream of Love flowing in abundant physical forms of expression.
Share in openness of our School of Syntropy as it is here to assist humans to remember not only their innate connection to the greater web of Life and the interconnectedness thereof it also allows people to remember their own Nature which is held in Souvereignty and Freedom of fear or pre-occupation with the external world or others as you put it. Because being self souvereign and free of the illusion of external authorities having "power" over oneself is the foundation, the blue print, the Original Innocence that is innate and wholly every humans' birth right or naturally wired programming to live from, because of this being the delicate and pure tapestry from which all human consciousness is woven Souvereignty has EVERYTHING to do with Love and being that space of Love emitting from the cells. Love equals acceptance of what is or what has happened in the past and ALL traumas ever experienced, however deep the crater that the infliction caused onto the psyche of a human, will ALWAYS be filled to its brim with Love again if people follow the natural processes involved in becoming deeply at peace from an emotional place around what happened to them.
This is where the navigation of resolving *humanities' unresolved* is significant to have an appropriate roadmap for and this, although only ever simple, clear and precise in the steps involved for proper liberation of the trauma stored in cells, is what we want to bring back to the forefront of humanities' consciousness and it is *choice*. The natural notion that ALL humans have Free Will, freedom of choice and it is hence that any and all resolving and coming into acceptance of the past lived experiences is tied intimately to the Free Will of each human being.
You beloved children are and have always, by the grace of our weave, been eternally free to choose your own experiential reality and we see that now more than ever is it relevant that this Free Will, unmanipulated, from within its natural wiring is used to orientate itself WITH Life, for Life. Not externally but INTERNALLY because that is the only place where any human can make ANY significant changes for all living Life on this Earth and this, beloved Souvereign, is the Work; Remembering the Syntropic Nature of Life and that all humans are part of this Life, from within, wholly and eternal as it was designed to always be this way. Remember your Nature and be real with what programming as in believe systems sit in the way of living and loving in this Syntropic way again.
Our Wananga of Love is always here, has always been and we are delighted to see our trinity teachings finding new forms of expressing and ushering humanity to remember it's connection to Love, to Life, from Life, for Life, all is connected always and forever. Awaken from the patriarchal dream state that is programmed with lack and rooted in fear which is only tied and capable of exercising its stronghold because of all the trauma that lies unresolved as grief, pain and hurt within each human being. Only you can set yourself free, you have to walk there on your own, but we can be holding hands together in this extended circle of life that the Human family is and was always an equal part of. And Love, Love dear, Love is the conduit field of living frequencies that is all there is to return to, within."
In Aroha,
Your Crone Mothers of the Waitaha Nation
Read about the sharing of the Wananga of Love Returning:
"You are looking at the Birthing place of the Gods, the centre of the Universe, the centre of Love and Light from which all Living Life sprung forth, from dimensions beyone the veil. From this place we ignited in colours of the light spectrum the life web that we cast as a net all over her body. Papatuanuku, the mother, your mother, is cloaked in this web always and forever… "

Twitter users brought the potty humor after President Donald Trump announced a new war on water-conserving showers, faucets and toilets on Friday.
Trump claimed in a meeting with business leaders at the White House that people "are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once" and were ending up "using more water." Therefore, he said he'd asked the Environmental Protection Agency to investigate the issue and possibly look at rolling back water-saving standards.
"We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers, and other elements of bathrooms," Trump says.— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) December 6, 2019
"People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once." pic.twitter.com/asDjGxuFts
Trump acknowledged that water-conserving fixtures may be suitable for desert areas but said "for the most part, you have many states where they have so much water that it comes down. It's called rain. They don't know what to do with it."
CNN's Anderson Cooper dedicated "The Ridiculist" segment on his show to the president's comments:
"People are flushing toilets 10-15 times?... This mess smells like a No. 1 and a No. 2. It's big"— Anderson Cooper 360° (@AC360) December 7, 2019

And Twitter was predictably also flush with jokes about the statement:
Trump was just ranting about how toilets don't flush hard enough and light bulbs don't make him look the color he wished they would.— Liddle' Savage (@littledeekay) December 6, 2019

"We have stayed in many self-catering places over the years, but honestly this is the most beautiful ! So stunningly decorated and the welcome pack/toiletries were so lovely. We were camping for 8 days before this short break and although we LOVE our tent this has been a real treat! We got a few walk leaflets from TIB in Masham. Brilliant as you can go from the town and back again. Meals/snacks out have been really excellent: The Bay Horse, The Bruce Arms, Johnny Bagdad's cafe (was particularly good) We have visited Bolton Castle which is worth a visit - connection with Mary Queen of Scots which I'm interested in.
Thank you for terrific visit - will be back !"

Porteus uses the Busybox version of the vi editor. That rocks.
But sometimes there may be bugs fixed that you may not want to wait for until the next Porteus release. AND, perhaps you don't want to do the whole Busybox linking setup, but just want the latest little "app", like vi.
A TinyCore user noticed a bug in a complicated regex and pushed that bug upstream, and it got fixed in the latest release (1.30) of BB. Thanks to the Busybox crew for fixing it.
Here is the quick hack so you don't have to go whole hog with busybox itself:
1) Download the binary from the Busybox project appropriate to your hardware. In my case, I got the i686 version of "busybox_VI"
2) move that into your path, which for me begins with /usr/local/bin/
3) As root, make it executable, chmod+x ./busybox_VI. Use your own chmod depending on your needs if you like.
4) That's a bummer to type, so I renamed it "bvi". This way I'll be sure to be using the newest version, and if something breaks and it doesn't fire up I'll know to use the normally linked Porteus vi.
Of course there's vim, elvis, nvi and so forth. For me, the busybox version of vi suits me just fine. This isn't perhaps the most elegant way to upgrade, but it works.
Upgraded vi-editor to latest version

Owen Canfield: TCC holds first croquet event
The very first Torrington Country Club Croquet Tournament was played Friday evening — and I missed it.
Ann Marie Filippini, food and beverage manager at the club, put me in touch with Daphne Roberson of New Hartford, whose idea the tournament was.
When I called Friday afternoon, Ann Marie said that Daphne was in the middle of a round of golf, but if I left my number, she would have her call. Which she did.
The former Daphne Homko, who grew up in Harwinton, said she absolutely loves golf and plays to a 20 handicap. But some three years ago, she also became fascinated by croquet, too.
Her husband Karl isn't as interested in the game, but son Shea shares her enthusiasm for it. They play often, particularly with friend David Keetin at each other's homes.
About two and one-half weeks ago, Daphne got permission from the board to hold the tournament at the club. Of course, she was made chairman.
"I wish we had had more time, say three or four months to set it up," she said. "I'm sure we would have had more entries, although we're expecting 25 to 30 . . .not too bad. My thinking was that it might be a good thing for members' wives to take part in. Some of them aren't active here at all if they don't play golf."
Three "courts" were set up near the practice tee for the competition and there were to be hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar for cocktails if anyone's in need of a bracer.
I say hooray for Daphne Roberson and for innovative TCC. This is fun. Well, they are always doing something new at TCC — and this qualifies, I'm thinking, as unique as well as interesting.
I was surprised to learn about the tournament. If Ann Marie Filippini had announced that they would be serving croquettes, well, fine, since the club is famous for its fine cuisine and clubhouse ambience as well as its championship golf course. But croquet?
(Side street #2: Be careful not to confuse the two. Croquettes are a fried delectable fried treat rolled in bread crumbs and filled with a wide assortment of vegetables, all mixed up amongst each other.)
I will not be able to report on winners in this column because I'm required to have it in the hands of my editor on this day, Friday.
Maybe you have played the game of Croquet. I have. We had a large lawn in Burrville, where I spent the first part of my life. And yes, we played a lot of croquet and the playing of it caused considerable hard feelings, both within the family and among neighbors who would frequently join us for our games.
Claims of cheating and accusations of inaccurate stroke counts got everybody mad at everybody else, when some of the 10- and 11-year old guys were out there playing alone while fathers worked and mother was in the house.
Games got rough at times, but grudges faded overnight and black eyes don't last long at that age.
I'm sorry I missed this event. It seems I'm always missing something. My mean old Aunt LunaMae used to say, "That Owen . . . when they passed out brains, he thought they said Trains and he missed his." She favored the girls in the family, anyway.
By the way, the game of croquet is 161 years old. I don't know how old croquettes are.

Group helps students with social challenges to stay in college
FRANCISCO - Kimberly witnessed her mother's murder. Al's father has been in prison his whole life and his mom died of cancer when he was 7. Vanessa helped her mother raise seven children.
Dalvin's dad was murdered and his mom abandoned him. At 13, Francisco was shot in a drive-by incident.
Imani was the sole caretaker of her blind and critically ill mother.
With support and guidance from Students Rising Above, a local nonprofit organization, these Bay Area youth are now in college. But for many low-income and minority students who have had suffered trauma as children, financial aid and good grades aren't the biggest challenges.
Stab of conscience
College means they can escape their situation, but it also means leaving behind siblings, friends and family who are still stuck in cycles of violence, drugs and poverty. That stab of conscience combines with the need to adapt to a new environment where few understand the challenges they've overcome to get there.
"I think it is a form of survivor's guilt," said Clifton Hicks , a San Francisco psychiatric social worker. "Often this is a threat to the family system."
Who will take care of the new baby sister? Who will work to pay the rent? Who will look after younger siblings when dad goes back to jail or mom is too sick to get out of bed?
"These students are often the emotional glue that holds the family together," said Lynne Martin , executive director of Students Rising Above, which offers full-service support and advisers to selected students as they apply, enter and graduate college. "It's not uncommon for families to try to sabotage a student's ability to go to college."
Or the students might undermine themselves with bad grades or self-destructive behavior, Hicks said.
Once they get to college, the students have to figure out who they are.
"Having to make peace with becoming someone new is difficult," said Lorna Contreras, a former participant and current adviser at Students Rising Above. "Having known yourself for the majority of your life as 'I am my mother's caretaker' or 'I am the son of a drug addict' and moving into 'I am unknown at the moment' is not an easy transition."
This is in part why typically one of every two low-income, first-in-their family college students don't finish their degree, Martin said.
While many nonprofit organizations help students get to college, Students Rising Above helps students cope through college and as they start a career in the face of family demands and community pressure to remain loyal to those left behind. Ninety percent of the program's students earn a college degree. Kimberly, Al, Vanessa, Dalvin and Imani are all participants.
The organization supports about 310 students who enter the program as high school juniors. Advisers help them navigate the college application process and obtain financial aid.
If they need medical care or counseling to battle depression, they get it. Students are sent to college with dorm-room supplies, computers and money they need to buy books or other necessities. When a student calls from Yale University in Connecticut asking for money for a warmer winter coat, the check's in the mail.
On average, the 15-year-old organization spends $5,400 on services and supplies for each student per year, not including staffing and administrative costs.
More than money
But money is a small part of the support.
"Low-income first generation kids need so much more than a tuition check," Martin said. "Most of the students have rarely seen a dentist. … They don't know how to write a thank-you note, shake a hand or look someone in the eye."
At home they understand the rules and social mores even if they center on gangs, crime, drugs and public assistance.
"This is how they make sense of the world," Hicks said. "It's terrible and it's horrible, but this is their lives."
The staff at Students Rising Above gets that - and helps students bridge the two worlds.
Advisers communicate with their charges at least once a week and help them stay in school despite seemingly insurmountable situations, which have ranged from dislike of a privileged roommate to the death of a boyfriend killed back home, Martin said.
College freshman Imani Evans wanted to drop out the first week of college at Humboldt State University.
The El Cerrito teen had long been the caretaker of her diabetic mother, Quanikki Van Hook, who lost her eyesight and a leg to a disease that also damaged her kidneys and heart. Her heart pumps at 20 percent capacity and she is in dialysis.
Food stamps
As a teen, living on food stamps in public housing, Evans cooked and cleaned and tended to her mother when she wasn't in school.
"I wanted to go to college," Evans said. "I wanted to get out and try new things."
Yet she knew her 42-year-old mother could die at any time, and that she plans her memorial service on the nights her heart feels funny.
It was hard to leave her. At times, it has been harder to stay.
During Evans' first week at Humboldt, her mother was hospitalized. Right after winter break ended, Van Hook had a heart attack. In between, her health was up and down.
Contreras, Evans' adviser, guided the teen through the rough moments and reminded her of her goals and of her mother's support.
"She's my best friend," Van Hook said of her daughter. "But I had to support whatever dream she had. I didn't want her to sacrifice any dreams for me."

October 2019
Riding in winter conditions can be tough. But as the old saying goes: "There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes!". Luckily manufacturers seem to be really getting this and are providing us with plenty of proper motorcycle jackets for winter riding and even take different styles into consideration. These are our 10 favorite motorcycle winter jackets!
As you may have seen on Social Media, Eurosport or maybe somewhere else, I've had a very busy but beautiful end to the 2019 season. After our home race at TT Assen, I worked for a few days and then headed off to Paul Ricard, to then drive from southern France to Hockenheim in Germany. Hereby we really experienced everything … what an adventure!

The British Merchant Navy's iconic red flag will be flown outside Oakham Library on Tuesday 3rd September to mark Merchant Navy Day 2019.
Merchant Navy Day is celebrated throughout the UK on 3rd September each year – the day that marked the start of the Second World War in 1939 and which saw the first British maritime casualty of the conflict, the sinking of the merchant vessel SS Athenia. Torpedoed just hours after hostilities were declared, it resulted with the tragic loss of 128 passengers and crew.
Although many thousands more would meet the same fate in the hostilities that followed, it is for this reasons that 3rd September has come to be recognised as 'Merchant Navy Day'. This is to honour the men and women who supplied Britain during both World Wars, as well as those who continue to face the routine perils of long voyages at sea.
Rutland will be joining local councils around the UK in flying the Merchant Navy's Red Ensign or "Red Duster" (as it is affectionately known) outside Oakham Library at 10.00am on Tuesday 3rd September. The flag will also be flown from other locations in Oakham throughout the week.
"Merchant Navy Day allows us to show our support and appreciation for those who have helped to keep our country going during the best and worst of times. We are all indebted to the Merchant Navy for their contribution to the defence of our nation throughout both World Wars.Even today, we are dependent on shipping for almost all of our imports, including half of the food we eat. We should all be incredibly thankful to the Merchant Navy for the essential job they do. This is a public event and the local community are welcome to attend. In particular, we hope to see many of our maritime veterans on the day as we remember the fallen of the Merchant Navy and raise the Red Duster." Councillor Ian Razzell, Armed Forces Champion for Rutland County Council.
Merchant Navy Day was first recognised on 3rd September 2000 and is supported by local authorities across the UK.

Written by Szu Han (Hank), Chou
Before coming to Wellington, New Zealand, I was in the mechanical industry for 4 years. I worked in Taipei and Melbourne. I met a few Kiwi friends in Melbourne. They took care of me and showed me the core values of New Zealand, which motivated me to move overseas. Then I studied a Graduate Diploma in IT at Weltec in 2018. I landed my first IT job in August at Student Job Search. I left Student Job Search (SJS) in November, then joined Sharesies after a couple of weeks.
I was working on a React Native project with SJS when I studied at Weltec—it was for a paper in my second trimester. After operating the project for nearly one month, SJS offered me an opportunity to work with them in July. After finishing an entry test, I started working on their new products in August. The main techniques I used were React, React Native, Redux, HTML, and CSS.
Before I started the job at SJS, I finished a test that included Front-End and Back-End techniques. The test required the candidate to utilize React, Node.JS, SQL DB, and upload to GitHub.
The job at SJS was a three-month contract where I helped SJS develop new products and learned Agile. However, I wasn't confident that my contract with SJS would continue, and I've always been a big fan of SoT. Therefore I kept attending the events held by SoT. There were three events that I felt were really helpful to me.
Before the event started, the pupils had to follow a bunch of manuals and install a few prerequisites, such as yarn, React…etc. It took me more than an hour to finish the installations.
When the tutorial started, Charles went straight to the point, teaching us how to apply React in the whole Front-End development by making a Tic Toc game.
Charles is a very good coding coach—he's also a coach at BNZ. It was a very practical lesson.
It was a two-day event. DIA gave us a few topics to pick. Our team, Team Sherry, picked the topic of improving the current website for the elderly. We embedded a chatbot and simplified the registration process for the elders who want to apply for superannuation.
There were many experienced UI/ UX designers, developers, and different roles in IT who came to mentor us. Within two days, we reported our demo product back to the DIA, mentors, and other teams.
It was a great experience. We got a lot of feedback from the mentors; Jennifer Young, Anna Watson and other experienced mentors from Trade Me, Alphero…etc.
Before starting to find an IT job in Wellington, I didn't know I needed to prioritize each field for my resume: 1. Technical skills & soft skills 2. Experience 3. Projects 4. Education. Furthermore, I didn't even know that a certain format was quite important for employers. And I never put soft skills nor traits in my resume before I came to New Zealand. New Zealanders really care about the relationship among team members, aye?
After meeting and greeting the potential employers at Westpac Stadium, I was eagerly waiting for news from the employers, but I only got one invitation from StoryPark. I had an interview with Mathew and Alex. They were pretty nice, and the questions were very interesting. It was a great experience, but unfortunately, I didn't get the job. Although I failed in getting a job from StoryPark, Mathew still gave me a call and explained the reasons why I didn't get the job and what I could do better.
I was disappointed in myself after I didn't get the offer from StoryPark and didn't get a new contract from SJS, but the CTO of SJS, Ian Craigie, and the project manager at SJS, Andrew MacPherson, gave me huge support. I started to apply for jobs everywhere. I even walked into a few offices to apply for a job. After that, I got an interview with Smudge, Catalyst, Motion Design, and Sharesies. Finally, I got an offer from Sharesies. Thus, I opened a new chapter at Sharesies. Before I started at Sharesies, I had an interview with some of their co-founders, Brooke, Martyn, Richard, and Sonya. That made me feel they valued people a lot—they saw me as a member of Sharesies instead of an asset.
Since working at Sharesies, I have learned a lot of development skills from our dev team. We have an extraordinary team. I said to our CEO Brooke, it was weird to me at first that people usually act cold when they have many years of experience of work, but the colleagues at Sharesies are the total opposite! Instead, they never hesitate to teach me and share their experience. Recently, I dressed in a shirt and leather shoes to the office and my colleagues thought I was going to another job interview. Brooke joked, "Shut the door, don't let him leave!". It's quite a warm and funny story.
A huge shoutout to Santiago Bernhardt who introduced me to Sharesies. He's the one always giving me a huge knock and told me that I have kept proving myself.

House Passes Legislation to Support and Honor Military Veterans
BOSTON – Representative Steve Ultrino (D – Malden) joined his colleagues in the House of Representatives to pass two bills to support Massachusetts' veterans. These bills build upon the Commonwealth's legacy as the first state in the nation for the number of programs and services it offers to military personnel, veterans and their families.
"I am immensely proud that Massachusetts ranks first in the nation when it comes to military-benefit programs and services," House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo said. "This legislation sends a message to our heroes and their families that we appreciate their bravery, sacrifice and service. While these two bills are small steps, the House is continuing its work in providing critical and well-deserved supports."
"We wanted to put these important bills out before Veterans Day to honor those who have served as a small token of our appreciation," said Representative John J. Lawn, Jr., Chair of the House Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs.
"Our veterans and their families have given so much to our country, and this legislation honors that sacrifice by helping to make the lives of veterans just a little easier," said Representative Ultrino. "It's one small step in our history of supporting veterans, and in recognizing their service and sacrifice."
Under legislation passed by the House, every municipality in the Commonwealth will now designate one parking space at its town or city hall as "veterans-only parking."
The House also took action to enable municipalities to more easily collect donations for their Veterans Memorial and Patriotic Celebration Funds. This legislation allows cities and towns to include a check-off box on municipal tax or motor vehicle excise tax bills through which residents can pledge donations to be used for the creation and restoration of monuments and other activities that honor the contributions and sacrifices of local veterans.
