In 2012, I first set out to deepen my connection to the Divine. The religious traditions of my youth had not resonated for years, and I knew I was ready for something different. In short order, I discovered Oprah's Super Soul Sunday and tuned in one day to hear (for the first time!) Deepak Chopra sharing his wisdom.
I was quite taken by Deepak. Such a deep understanding of consciousness. Common sense explanations for his ideas. And, best of all, disarming unpretentiousness punctuated, as I recall, by red tennis shoes.
As an added bonus, Deepak offered an online 21-Day Meditation Challenge on Abundance completely free! What a fantastic windfall! I was ready! I wanted to give this whole meditation thing a try.
Testing the Waters of Meditation
With no real experience, I waded into the waters of meditation. Each day's recording was roughly 15 minutes long. Deepak talked for five minutes or so, then the last portion featured soothing music. A soft bell signaled the meditation's end.
For the first several days, I thought that soft bell would NEVER ring. My monkey mind, as Deepak described it, was unrelenting. Yakity yak. Blah blah blah. My mind assembled an endless stream of petty and trifling details.
Over time, however, both my mind and I softened. It wasn't too many more days before that gentle bell startled me out of deep contemplation.
When the series ended, I purchased the download and listened to it over and again. It became a beloved and familiar entryway into a calm and peaceful place of my mind.
A New 21-Day Meditation Challenge
This spring, I became aware of a new 21-day meditation challenge being offered by Oprah and Deepak. Shedding the Weight: Mind, Body and Spirit. Feeling a wave of nostalgia, I signed up for the emails.
This series reminded me of all the reasons I feel such gratitude for both Oprah and Deepak. They so willingly and candidly share from their own experiences. They are committed to helping others find a meditation practice as a way of healing. And they connect the dots in such practical ways. Teaching me how the burdens I carry in my mind become the burdens playing out in my life. Showing me ways to rewrite my life story to open to new possibilities.
This time around, right off the bat on Day 1, Deepak gave me my golden nugget:
No struggle is involved. If struggling worked, the battle to be who you want to be would have ended long ago. Why do we keep fighting with ourselves when this tactic never worked in the first place?
I felt the truth the minute I heard these words. He reinforced the idea with this Centering Thought: My struggle has ended. I am in harmony with myself.
I got a LOT of mileage out of that Centering Thought. The minute my mind would start to say How am I expected to…. I would remind myself My struggle has ended.
Now, simply saying my struggle has ended does not make it so. Making it so involves choosing to let go of struggle every time I make a move to pick up another burden. Listening to this meditation series strengthened my resolve to truly let go of what does not serve and bask in the lightness of being that is drawn into my life.
Try It Yourself!
Here's your chance to experience one of Oprah and Deepak free meditation challenges for yourself. Registration has opened for The Energy of Attraction: Manifesting Your Best Life. It begins Monday, July 23, 2018. Sign up to get daily emails with instructions for participating in this mind-shifting experience. I've already sent in my registration!
Catch Deepak Chopra on New Thought Channel
Here's another windfall for you! Deepak appears as a guest on Season 2 of the NTC-TV original series One Simple Idea, hosted by Mitch Horowitz. Deepak is thoroughly in his element, masterfully explaining consciousness and quantum theory – and in a way that makes perfect sense. A must-watch episode if you're a spiritual seeker.
The post Ending Struggle through Meditation appeared first on New Thought Channel Blog.

Hong Kong Artist, Norm Yip is Now Accepting Bitcoin as Preferred Currency
Hong Kong, 02 January 2018. Norm Yip is an independent artist that has fully adopted the use of Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, as his preferred currency for his artwork.
Norm Yip heard about Bitcoin approximately five years ago, believing it was a pseudo-currency that would never make it into the market. At best, reports about Bitcoin seemed polarised at both extremes. Things began to change however when he learned about the Blockchain and how it could be used to provide authentication for artwork.
Norm explains, "It was not until I learned about the Blockchain (not the company) technology of a distributed non-centralised ledger that I become deeply interested. It opened my eyes completely to the architecture and of how Bitcoin was only an application utilizing this new technology. It seemed revolutionary". Norm was interested in seeing how startup companies such as Ascribe, Tagsmart, and Verisart was using it to create Certificates of Authenticity for artwork. "I am currently in the process of documenting all my paintings and drawings using one of the companies mentioned, but I haven't decided which one best suits my needs', Norm says.
With the above knowledge and added fuel of Bitcoin's price rising to enormous heights in 2017, Norm's attention moved in another direction, which was Bitcoin and Ether, as an accepted currency for his artwork besides Fiat currency. Norm is not the first artist or gallery to take hold of the new technology. Art-related websites including Artforcrypto, Dadiani Fine Arts, and Maecenas all are using the Blockchain in business. Yip believes that as more people begin to understand Blockchain, the underlying architecture to cryptocurrency, there will be greater acceptance. As Bitcoin advocate and entrepreneur Andreas Antonopoulos said 'Bitcoin is the internet of currency'.
As an incentive, he is offering a reduced price of up to 20% off the list price on artworks to those that pay in Bitcoin or Ether over Fiat currency. Norm Yip's artwork is suitable for both fine art collectors looking for investment reasons and commercial businesses that require artwork to enhance their offices.
About the Artist
Norm Yip is a visual artist working in the three mediums of painting, drawing, and photography. He is a Canadian born Chinese living and working in Hong Kong, He has photographed Zhang Yimou, JLo, Ricky Martin and Rain and has published several photography books entitled 'The Asian Male'.

Research Interests
I study the history of religion and culture in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century United States. I have a strong interest in new and "counter" narratives of American religion that move away from the longstanding academic emphasis on Protestantism. Much of my work deals with communication and the ways that people convey their ideas through media. My dissertation will explore Spiritualism, hoaxes, and the attempts of social scientists to explore the paranormal. Outside of my primary research, I am interested in digital history, political history, East Asian history, space travel, and music.

Black Mirror writer Charlie Brooker has appeared in The Simpsons' Thanksgiving Of Horror episode.
Earlier this year Simpsons executive producer Mat Selman tweeted: "Hey Charlie, we'd love to have you do a voice on a Black Mirror-ish episode of the Simpsons. We're super fans & we'd love to have you in the show (PS, this is real.)"
Brooker took them up on the offer and recorded the episode, which aired last Sunday. The writer tweeted the news with an extra teaser for Black Mirror fans. "Well IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED - the episode airs in the US this Sunday. And it's bloody GREAT and I'm not just saying that because it's also got a bunch of Black Mirror Easter eggs in it."
In one segment, which echoes the Black Mirror episode White Christmas, Homer buys an A.I. device to help Marge to make Thanksgiving dinner. But the device has an A.I version of Marge with all her memories inside it, which gradually takes over from the real Marge.
Thre is also a scene where Mayor Quimby stands next to a pig with his pants down, referencing the first episode of Black Mirror, where the PM is forced to have sex with a pig on TV. In another scene a "San Junipero" poster can be seen on the dining room wall
The episode's writer Dan Vebber has explained some of the references here.
The episode will hopefully air in the UK in 2020.

hmv.com reviews… Sum 41 @ Cardiff Great Hall
Sum 41 rolled into Cardiff last night (February 11th) and we were there to review them in action...
Canadian punk rockers Sum 41 for their first time in Wales for a very long time.
In Cardiff University's Great Hall.
Any good supports?
If you're going to have a support act, you can't have many that are better than Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. They are the definition of tight, powering through songs off of their debut released last year. Whilst sometimes giving off the persona of an angry frontman, lead singer Frank is actually very humble and welcoming t the crowd. Particularly during a more intimate version of 'Beautiful Death' showcasing his impressive clean vocals around a sea of fans sat down around him. However this is only moment of calmness with circle-pits and the like encompassing the whole room even around the sound desk.
Was it full? And how were the crowd?
It's completely sold out with legs flying over the barriers from the crowdsurfing and many a torn shirt from those in the pit. There's a broad range of ages here tonight showing what universal appeal that they have.
So what was the set like? What did they play?
The introduction is a compilation of various snippets of songs really getting the audience excited and in the mood with chants of 'Sum 41' coming from all corners of the room. However there seems to be a small delay before they actually reach the stage. This all changes when they start particularly during 'Motivation' which sets the evening into motion.
'Off My Head (Better Off Dead)' follows in a similar fashion causing the pop punkers to pogo up and down in the middle. It's at this point that they invite some lucky fans from the crowd and get them to stand at the side of the stage for the rest of the show.
The entire set captures slices from their entire career with early hits off of 'Half An Hour Of Power' like 'Makes No Difference' to more recent songs such as 'Screaming Bloody Murder' all being loved by the adorning fans. 'We're All To Blame' is still one of the best songs they have written and one of the heavier moments of the set tonight, with pauses in the middle to have sing offs between the two sides of the room.
The biggest roars of the night come in their early material with cuts from 'Does This Look Infected'; 'The Hell Song' and 'Still Waiting' getting big reactions. Yet after going way past the scheduled curfew, the 'All Killer No Filler' encore of 'Fat Lip' and 'In Too Deep' leaves everyone here on a buzzing high when they leave.
Did they put on much of a show?
They certainly put on a show for the fans; particularly for those few that were lucky enough to be invited on stage to watch. With his bleached blonde hair, singer Deryck Whibley marches up and down the stage throughout getting everybody involved in the fun.
What was the highlight of the set?
It's the encore filled with the All Killer No Filler singles 'In Too Deep' and 'Fat Lip' that everybody has come for. It provokes the biggest reaction of the evening that gets the whole place moving.
The album itself and these songs in particular are almost 15 years old and have a special place for a lot of the fans in their mid 20's who grew up in their teens with this music. The nostalgia and fondness that they feel is definitely shown here.
Where can I catch them next?
The tour sees them hitting the rest of the UK including Birmingham, London, Manchester amongst others. Tickets are pretty hard to come by at the moment with the demand being very high right now!

Governor-elect Phil Murphy was voted into office on the strength of a progressive agenda. That stands in sharp contrast to that of Chris Christie. Rep. Frank Pallone, since he was first elected in 1988, has watched the transitions of seven New Jersey governors. Last week, Senior Correspondent David Cruz asked Pallone the implications of this transition.
Pallone: Well, I think Phil's going to be a great governor. I wasn't at the League of Municipalities because we were voting this week, so you haven't seen me there. I haven't been there in years because we always vote in Washington. But, I think Phil's going to be great. I mean, Phil is really focused on the economy and trying to improve New Jersey's economy and look for new ways to create jobs, and I also think he's very good on the environment. One of the things that I've been concerned about is that Gov. Christie bothers the office of climate change. He withdrew us from the RGGI, which is the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a group of states who got together called RGGI. So, he has promised to bring us back into the regional greenhouse gas agreement. He said he's going to reopen the office of climate change which I think is very important for New Jersey because, as you know, our coastal areas face sea level rise and these huge storms like Sandy. And, also he talks a lot about education. Again, I am at Monmouth University, and one of the things he's talked about is trying to improve affordability for higher education, free community college tuition and more help with attending four-year universities, as well. So, I'm really excited about his being the governor.
Cruz: This tax plan that just got approved this week could also have some implications for this new governor's hope to raise taxes on millionaires and so on. He's got a very progressive agenda that he's going to try to implement and it's going to require extra money.
Pallone: Well, he has talked about a tax, or like a surcharge, on millionaires, but again as I've been trying to stress the federal government tax plan, the Republican tax plan, most of the benefit in terms of tax cuts is going to millionaires. So, to be perfectly honest, I think that millionaires get a very good deal out of this Republican federal tax proposal. So, I think it's only fair that in order to try to accomplish some of the things that Phil Murphy wants to do, if the state goes ahead and imposes a surcharge on millionaires, I think it's only fair that they pay their fair share to help move the state forward.
Cruz: You think there's a possibility that this new governor's going to have some impact on a green industry in New Jersey, maybe help to promote that?
Pallone: Oh definitely. One of the things that he talks about all of the time is a new master energy plan and really stressing renewables. New Jersey has huge resources of offshore wind that can be tapped, and we have the ability to manufacture the wind turbines, the solar panels. It's a huge job creation engine and he really wants to focus on that and prioritize that, which again was lapsed under Chris Christie. So, that's another thing that I think can make a difference in improving the economy.
Cruz: And of course the other big headline this week happened yesterday, the mistrial and the corruption trial of a friend of yours and colleague, Sen. Bob Menendez. What are the implications of that do you think?
Pallone: Well, I always felt that he was innocent of those charges. I certainly hope that the federal government or that the prosecutors don't try to try him again because as I think you know, the jury, 10 were in favor of dismissal and only two were leaning towards finding him guilty of some of the charges. And, I felt from the very beginning that the charges were bogus. So, I'm just looking forward to Bob Menendez running again for U.S. Senate and I've already told him that I fully support him and expect him to run again in November. And, he's in a very important position in the Senate. He's on the Finance Committee. If we take the majority, he could be the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. So, he can really make a difference and has in the past in helping our state.
Cruz: Does it say anything about the fact that people seem to be cheering this hung jury? I mean, I guess you'd have to have a really weak case if you can't convict a public official nowadays of corruption because folks seem to be ready to believe the worse about every elected official, yet here they were, they had 10 people and a 12 person jury ready to acquit this guy.
Pallone: Well, I think that if they interviewed that one juror who left because they had some agreement for her to go on vacation and she spoke about what was happening in the jury room. And, I think the feeling was that the government was overreaching. In other words, they were making these charges, they didn't have any direct evidence of what they were accusing him of and I think the jury got the impression, which I agree with, that the government really was charging him improperly. So they essentially sided with him saying look you're being railroaded. And, that's clearly what the jury felt and I think they were right. At least 10 of them felt that way, 10 of the 12.
Cruz: Let me ask you one more question before we get you out of here. I guess it's going to be in December when a vote on net neutrality is expected. I know this is an issue that's been close to you as well.
Pallone: Yes. This concerns me a great deal, David. As you know during the Obama administration, the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, issued an order which became law basically enshrining the idea of a free and open internet. The idea that your internet provider couldn't charge more to speed up something or to not charge more for certain content — they couldn't block content, I should say. And, now Trump has basically said that he wants the FCC to reverse that, and it looks like they will. They got 23 million people that commented mostly saying that they support net neutrality and a free and open internet, but, yet the FCC's determined to move ahead and we're hearing they might rescind the net neutrality order sometime before Christmas. So, I'm going to continue to speak out against that because I really think this is basic to democracy. If they can block the content, and decide for ideological reasons what they're going to show or not show, or they can charge more to speed up the internet for certain services. I think the internet is really important for people in terms of the ability to find a job. Again, going back to education, we have a lot of people that get their education online. For businesses, particularly small businesses, to sell things and a free and open internet, I think, is very important for our democracy and for our market economy, frankly. So I'm going to continue to oppose this effort to repeal net neutrality.
Cruz: Alright, Congressman Frank Pallone, thank you so much for taking the time to be with us.
Pallone: Thank you so much, David. Take care.

Forgot Pin Password On Samsung Galaxy S9 And Galaxy S9 Plus (Solution)
Having bought a brand-new Samsung phone, it is a usually a common occurrence that you may end up forgetting password on Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9 Plus. The irony usually lies in the fact that you were the one trying to prevent unwarranted access but you end up being locked out. But, don't worry even if you had not backed your data, you will just be temporarily locked out. We have come up with the best three ways access your smartphone when you've forgot pin password on Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus.
If all comes to the worst, you may need to do a hard factory reset. Such a solution is not all that bad as in fact many users use it to fix a myriad of problems. But the negative side is that you will lose everything on your Samsung smartphone. However, we will also later discuss that solution.
It essentially implies that in the event you forget your smartphone's pattern or PIN password, you can either opt to remove everything or change current pin password on Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9 Plus into a new one.
We will, therefore, have three solutions to focus on;
- A factory reset.
- Samsung Find My Mobile password Change.
- Android Device Manager password Change.
To factory reset Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus follow the following steps;
- Put your phone off.
- Hold the volume key as you tap the home power button until you access the recovery mode.
- Release it as you use the power keys and volume down button to navigate through and initiate the factory reset/ wipe data action.
- As soon as your phone finishes the factory reset task, use the power and volume down keys once more. Navigate using the keys to the Reboot system now option so to enable the phone return to normal running mode.
Note -if you need a more comprehensive guide on the instructions, read the resource on factory reset for Galaxy S9/Galaxy S9 Plus.
Samsung Find My Mobile password Change steps are as follows;
- Ensure that your phone is registered and allowable to utilize the Samsung's service.
- Using the Find My Mobile feature on your smartphone, reset using the available remote controls.
- Change the existing password with a more temporal one.
- Using the temporary password, bypass your phone's screen lock.
- Complete the procedure by replacing the temporary password with a new password.
Android Device Manager password Change steps are as follows;
- To get the phone's lock feature, ensure your smartphone is registered and allowable to utilize the Android Device Manager service.
- Next, access Android Device manager through your computer's internet browser.
- Locate your galaxy phone on your computer monitor using the account credentials.
- Check where Lock & Erase features and activate it so that it commences right away.
- Follow the prompts given, step by step, so as to form a temporary password.
- Key in the new password access your phone again. Afterwards, Enter an easy-to-remember permanent password to complete the process.
You have now learned the three diverse ways to tackle the password problem when you've forgot pin password on Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus. It will help you to deal with such a problem when it occurs effectively.
But keep in mind that you will have to hard reset your smartphone if you aren't yet registered with either Android Device Manager or Samsung Find My Mobile service.
There other two softer versions are highly recommended before you decide to erase everything from your phone. Otherwise, don't hesitate to contact us if you require more advice and also share this article to any person who needs assistance.

Do you live within a victim-hood framework?
Victims focus on the past and magnify all that is going wrong with their life's blueprint. Someone else's opinion matters more than theirs. They need approval from outside sources in order to be okay. They're always looking for someone else to rescue or fix them.
A victim's life framework is that someone else needs to recognize how much they need help, how deserving of it they are, and that they are incapable of doing this themselves. They require someone to feel bad for them. Or, it can be that they need a big something to happen that will fix everything in their life because they are incapable of doing it themselves. "The lottery is all I need to make my life work." "As soon as I get that perfect job then everything will be good." "Prince Charming will come along and see how amazing I am and rescue me from this dull dreary existence." Women especially fall into victimhood quite easily. We're socialized to believe we need someone to take care of us.
Victims focus on how life and circumstances keep them powerless. They focus on how dis-empowered they feel (and feel is the key word here. Feelings are not accurate as to what's really true in life.)
STOP THE INSANITY! It's time to take back your power!
It's not enough to pray and plead for change in your life. Sure prayer is powerful and important but it's time you realized the power you have to create something out of wherever you are right now. Repeatedly asking for something is focusing on the fact that it's not there and you're awareness is keeping it that way. Ask once, and then go to work keeping your vibrations at a level that brings you peace within. Pay attention to what your thoughts are focused on, and direct them to a bit of daydreaming about what it would be like to live with what you do want.
Managing your vibrations, manages your future.
Release yourself from a victim-hood framework by choosing to acknowledge the circumstances as they are, and then move forward towards a future that you design by managing your vibrations and focus.
The most painful experiences and circumstances provide the greatest avenue for growth and change so choose not to look at them as a victim but as a victor.
I can help you recognize and release your habit and belief of victim-hood, teach you how to better manage your own energetic vibration, and move forward with greater success in all areas of life.

United States District Court, D. Rhode Island
March 2, 2017
SCVNGR, INC. d/b/a LEVELUP Plaintiff,v.DAILYGOBBLE, INC. d/b/a RELEVANT, Defendant.
J. McConnell, Jr. United States District Judge.
SCVNGR, Inc. d/b/a/ LevelUp ("LevelUp") brought the
instant action against Defendant DailyGobble, Inc. d/b/a/
Relevant ("Relevant") for patent infringement. The
patent at issue, United States Patent No. 8, 924, 260
("the '260 patent"), provides for an improved
POS system through the use of sentinels-that is, a first data
sequence and second data sequence. A POS terminal equipped
with the ability to recognize and process the sentinels can
distinguish a data stream with the sentinels from other data
inputs as well as interrupt a current process of the POS
terminal to process a transaction. Relevant has moved for
judgment on the pleadings, arguing that LevelUp's
'260 patent is an abstract idea and therefore patent
designs applications for restaurants that combine a
reward's program and payment method into one
quick-response code ("QR Code"). A consumer can
both receive rewards and initiate payment through the
presentment of a single QR Code on her mobile device. The
application eliminates the need for a consumer to provide a
QR Code for a rewards program and a separate payment form. In
order to process a QR Code transaction, LevelUp encodes the
data stream with sentinels, a system for which LevelUp
received the '260 patent.
filed the complaint in this action, alleging that Relevant is
infringing on LevelUp's '260 patent. ECF NO. 1. After
LevelUp moved for a preliminary injunction, ECF No. 12, and
the Court granted that motion, ECF No. 29, Relevant filed the
instant motion for judgment on the pleadings, ECF No. 34.
Relevant reasserts an argument-that the relevant claims in
the '260 patent are directed towards patent-ineligible
subject matter-previously briefed at the preliminary
injunction stage, ECF No. 20 at 12-16; ECF No. 21 at 7-12,
and rejected in this Court's granting of the preliminary
payment processing occurs through a mobile device's
communication with an optical or near-field communication
reader. The mobile device, once scanned, sends an electronic
token to the POS terminal. Then, the POS terminal combines
this token with other payment information, such as the price
of the transaction and the name of the merchant, and sends
the information to the payment processor.
'260 patent encodes the data stream with a
"sentinel" at the beginning and the end of the data
stream. The sentinels bracket the token data to differentiate
it from other data within the data stream (i.e., metadata)
and other data streams. The sentinels can provide multiple
functional applications, Claims 1-2 concern the
"interrupt protocol, " which causes the POS
terminal to interrupt its current task upon receipt of the
first sentinel. After interruption, the POS terminal begins
processing the payment information contained in the data
stream. And after receiving the second sentinel, the POS
terminal completes the transaction. Claims 11-12 are for a
POS terminal configured to process a transaction as set forth
by the method in Claims 1-2. The image below illustrates the
patent '260 method of processing transactions through
multiple data inputs.
figure depicts a POS terminal receiving data streams from
three different inputs-a scanner, reader, and touch screen.
The data stream from the scanner contains two "LU"
sentinels, and the data stream between the two sentinels
contains the "interrupt" "data-handling
claims at issue are as follows:
1. A method of processing a transaction at a point-of-sale
(POS) terminal, the method comprising the steps of

About Us
The World Electronic Sports Games (WESG) is an international esports tournament which was founded by Alisports based in Shanghai, China. Started at 2016, WESG builds on the philosophy of allowing players to play in a competition where they would feel a sense of pride in representing their country while competing in the game they love.
What makes WESG stands out is the fact that the tournament requires competing teams to be composed of players from the same nation. This provides the players a channel to join hands and compete for something larger than any individual alone; to play under their national colour and bring pride to the nation's flag.
The tournament was inspired from traditional Olympics, a sporting event where the best athletes across the world would compete against one another to bring honour for their country. Alisports has the same vision and aims to incorporate a similar atmosphere for players while they compete at WESG. Ultimately, Alisports hopes that one day, esports will be officially recognized at traditional sporting events and be included at the Olympics itself.
While WESG understands that most professional gaming teams do not reside from the same nation, the organization believes that an international esports event based off nations will build patriotism, sportsmanship and fair play among gamers worldwide. Playing for your country is always a dream & WESG aims to make that dream a reality for gamers everywhere.
Similar to the Olympics, WESG believes each country must be well represented in an international event as it provides the audience and competitors a chance to experience different cultures & start to erase discrimination of any kind, creating a truly worldwide phenomenon.

MLS 2019 Season Live Match UpdatesThread to post updates about play in MLS games either during or after matches.
Actually it was Ted who had the problem about it. I agree with him but he was the one who complained. But I will start a thread for updates.
Come on! Now you are being stupid and anal and trying to use dodgy literal interpretations of definitions to win an argument. Comments about typical play during a match are not noteworthy events. People come to this thread to read about transfers or as your definition states "noteworthy events" not how Kansas City is playing in the second half against Portland. If a major player was injured during a match that could be a noteworthy event but regular play commentary is not. There is no reason to have a big argument about this or a philosophical discussion about what is news. If he makes his own thread for game updates I doubt anyone has a problem with his posting that and those who are interested can read them in that thread. Then those looking for the noteworthy news can look for it here and not have to sift through 50 posts about the play in various games.
Game commentary is not news. People do not want to go through pages of game commentary to get news. If a thread is clearly labelled game commentary then I think it is fine to post those updates and those interested can read them on that thread.
BigM should start a separate thread for live updates of MLS games. I think it is fine he is doing that but I think this thread is more for MLS news so shouldn't be filled up with multiple posts on game updates.
Yes I think Cottbus did that at times too. He was not fast or technically skilled enough to be a striker (by which I mean to do the other things you need a striker to do other than just scoring goals) but he was a big body in the box, good with his head and a pretty good finisher when he had the chance so he could be used in that role when you needed a late game goal.
Both have looked good playing on opposite sides. Choiniere carries the ball more while Bayiha is more of a fast breaking player. Choiniere carries the ball into the middle or on the wings and tries to maintain possession while looking for a play. Bayiha is good at using his speed to run by players staying more on the wing until he is near the box and is also good at doing overlaps and passing to another player running by like he did with ZBG in the previous game. If they develop into solid MLS starters like I expect, a few years ago they would be automatic starters for the national team. However, even if they develop as much as I hope they might end up only being 3rd choice in their position with the national team which shows how quickly our depth has developed. Any good national team needs depth like that and it gives us other options if our more heralded talent like Tabla do not progress as much as we are predicting.
Mark-Anthony Kaye
Grizzly replied to Dub Narcotic's topic in Men's National TeamsThat is his second goal of the season both headers off corners. Canada hasn't been very good on scoring from set plays for a long time so it could be valuable having someone like him in the box on corners and free kicks.

Grizzly replied to Kusch to the Corner's topic in Men's National TeamsThe Impact have another 3 games in a week stretch coming up. I am pretty sure ZBG will get at least one of those starts, probably the mid week game against New England.
Third game that he has had some playing time this year. He has impressed me every time, even when he came on as a sub in the 7-1 loss. Good speed, technical ability and seems to be a smart player. I think he will be a factor on the national team in the years to come.
No he was always a CB at Cottbus. He played a few games at striker when they had some severe injury problems but he did not play a whole season at CF. There was one season that he scored 10 goals in the 2nd Bundesliga but 6 of the goals came in 2 games. He was not fast enough to be effective at striker but he was good at heading the ball and effective on corners and free kicks.
Vancouver Whitecaps 2019 Season
Grizzly replied to Club Linesman's topic in MLSI have been impressed from what I have seen of Henry this year. From the angle I saw I do not think it was a penalty but possibly there were angles that showed otherwise. However, I think he still needs to take some blame on this. The attacker was attempting a very low success rate move and Henry moved on him very aggressively (which alone can be dangerous) plus he had his arms outstretched. I think when you do this you are just asking for something bad to happen. Nevertheless, he has looked very good this year and hopefully with regular playing time will reduce the amount of mistakes and rash decisions he makes because he looks really good most of the time.

Escape from Messi! The real Coutinho will now return at Bayern
Philippe Coutinho's loan move from Barcelona to Bayern Munich hadn't even been finalised, yet rival players were already hailing him as "the best footballer in Germany".
The Copa America winner is used to that sort of acclaim back home in Brazil and was a hero at Anfield during his time with Liverpool, but he never felt the same love during his season and a half in Catalunya.
Coutinho became Barcelona's record signing in January 2018, arriving for an initial €120 million (£105m/$136m). The Brazilian was intended to be Andres Iniesta's heir at Camp Nou – the creative force that would make chances for Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, which he was able to do sporadically in his first few months at the club.
Editors' Picks
- 'I'm past having to wait' - Jesus desperate for more game time at Manchester City
- 'He can still do better' – Tuchel wants more from Neymar after PSG winner
- 'I think it's too early' - Henderson plays down Liverpool's Champions League favourite talk
- Sancho had no intention of joining Man Utd in the summer, says Dortmund sporting director
Ernesto Valverde deployed him on the wing in a 4-2-2-2 approach, with Ousmane Dembele often on the other flank supporting Messi and Suarez. With two attacking players in the middle, Coutinho was often forced to stay wide rather than cut inside onto his stronger foot, which had been a trademark of his time at Liverpool.
His best successes came in a 4-3-3 system, even bagging a hat-trick in Barcelona's penultimate game of the 2017-18 campaign when Messi had been rested. A week later, the Argentine was left out again and Coutinho scored the only goal of the game against Real Sociedad, dribbling through the middle before curling the ball into the corner with a beautiful right-footed finish.
Iniesta's departure last summer saw Valverde retain the 4-3-3, but Coutinho was initially pushed further back to allow Messi to play in the attacking trio alongside Suarez and Dembele. When he was finally given a start on the left wing, Coutinho's form improved with goals against Sevilla and Real Madrid. He opened the scoring in the famous 5-1 Clasico thumping of Real Madrid – which Messi watched from the stands – while Suarez bagged a hat-trick in a tremendous team performance.
However, these performances were not enough to convince Valverde to start him in every game, nor were they enough for Barcelona fans, who expected more from their record signing. Club captain Gerard Pique came out in Coutinho's defence when the attacker was booed against Rayo Vallecano.
"We have to accept the reaction of the fans – but from the inside we have to give him our support," Pique told Marca. "Philippe is having a good season. Obviously, his cost was very high so that means there are more expectations of his performance level. It is what it is."
After he scored against Manchester United in the Champions League, the Brazilian put his fingers to his ears, later claiming: "I have always been someone who respects everybody. The truth is that this [celebration] was for the people to see that I have to block out the sound in order to focus on a match or on my job so that it won't affect me."
With just five league goals in 2018-19, Coutinho is seen as an expensive flop by many around Camp Nou, with supporters glad to see him off the books following his loan move to Bayern Munich.
His loan move to the Allianz Arena, with a view to a €120m permanent transfer, has been greeted much more positively, with even Borussia Dortmund's Julian Brandt feeling compelled to celebrate his arrival.
"Coutinho is an awesome player, I'm a big fan. He was fantastic at Liverpool. I think he played very well at Barcelona, too, even though he was under the microscope a bit more," Brandt told the Bundesliga's official website.
"He's a real boon for the Bundesliga. I'm delighted that such a player has decided to move to the Bundesliga."
That sentiment is shared by on-loan Hertha Berlin midfielder Marko Grujic, who knows Coutinho from his time at Liverpool. Grujic is even more in awe of the 27-year-old, who he believes is now the Bundesliga's best player – eclipsing even Marco Reus and Robert Lewandowski.
"It's a big thing for the whole Bundesliga to have the possibility to see Coutinho play now," the Serbian told Bild.
"He is a special and exciting player, he does crazy things. He's got incredible tricks and skills in his locker. I enjoyed every training session with him in Liverpool. He will be by far the best footballer in Germany."
Coutinho will be able to have more success in his preferred position at Bayern. He will succeed the legendary Franck Ribery, a player who also become synonymous with cutting inside onto his stronger foot. Head coach Niko Kovac has utilised both a 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 with Bayern, meaning that he has plenty of options for his versatile new signing.
The Brazilian could be an option on the left wing, in midfield, or even in the No.10 role where James Rodriguez often impressed during his loan spell in Bavaria. Wherever he plays, Coutinho will make a difference and his new team-mates are expecting him to make an instant impact due to his outstanding ability.
"I don't think he'll need that much time to adapt to our system and ideas," Lewandowski told Bild. ""I think he's the sort of player that can settle in without many problems. He is a top player. Such a player could be the difference in whether you win something or not."
Coutinho would have continued to win trophies had he stayed at Barcelona, but now, out of Messi's shadow, he can bag medals while also showing that he remains one of the world's best players.

Migration and Social Inclusion in Scotland and Europe at GCU
At the beginning of February, Margaret Lance, Support and Outreach Coordinator with Waverley Care's African Health Project, spoke at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) for their Migration and Social Inclusion in Scotland and Europe event.
Margaret joined GCU to talk about how different organisations work to address issues around immigration while highlighting the work of our African health Project in responding to the needs of people living with HIV, with particular focus on the needs of asylum seekers and refugees. Margaret also spoke about how we can respond to other underlying issues through working together to establish referral pathways that meet people's more complex needs. With a number of other partner organisations present including Maryhill Integration Network and Red Cross Scotland, the event was an opportunity to network and build new partnerships expanding our work.
Through participating in events such as this at GCU, Margaret was able to inform people about the services and support provided by Waverley Care including the expertise brought to our work through our African Health Project. Attendees of the event are now more informed about what it means to be living with HIV in Scotland when someone is an asylum seeker or refugee, including the challenges entailed in navigating the immigration system.
The event also allowed us to share knowledge about HIV and the benefits of testing and support while increasing awareness of the issues people living with HIV face more generally.
We are grateful to GCU for inviting us along to the event and are delighted to have found new opportunities for partnership working and strengthening referral pathways, therefore providing people accessing our services with the support they need.
In Waverley Care's 30th year, we are continuing to challenge stigma through awareness raising activities, with the aim of building hope for a better future where the voices of people living with HIV are heard and taken into consideration when forming migration and social inclusion policies in Scotland and beyond.

My 4 year old Finn, has been lucky enough to have been sent this lovely Chunky Clock by Hape to test out.
First impressions at a glance:
- Bright & colourful.
- Eco-friendly
- Chunky for small hands
- Educational
- Great quality
I love any wooden toys like this, they not only look great, they are super hard wearing and most importantly, much better for the environment than any plastic made ones!
The design is lovely, really bright and eye catching and I love the little bugs on each number!
The clock also comes with a stand so it can be displayed standing up which is a lovely addition to the design.
Finn like to proudly display his on the window sill!
The clock is such a simple toy, and do you know what? The simple toys are always the best.
It's simple design does in no way mean it lacks educational value at all.
The clock not only teaches colours, counting and shapes, but also introduces time telling - so the toy will easily last years in terms of educational value.
One your child has cracked colours, they can move onto counting and number recognition and so on.
So what did Finn make of it?
He loves it! He loves puzzles anyway and so this was always going to be a winner with him.
The chunky pieces are just the right size for his chubby little hands to grab and hold and really encourages development of dexterity and hand-eye co-ordination, especially for children slightly younger than Finn.
The pictures here give a good indication of size.
Overall, we both love the Hape Chunky Clock Puzzle.
It has provided hours of fun and learning already.
The quality of the product is a winner for me. It is super well made and it's clear that a lot of testing goes into producing a safe product, free from any sharp points, small parts and the use of child friendly paint that doesn't flake or chip.
It is robust and made to last. The people at Hape clearly recognise that children can be boisterous (mine definitely are!) and this puzzle has been dropped and thrown but shows absolutely no signs of wear or tear, there are no dents or anything!
The Chunky Clock Puzzle is suitable for ages 3-5 years and retails at around £13-15, available from many retailers including Amazon.

FYF Recap and Our Five Favorite Acts
This weekend I headed down to FYF and I gotta be honest, the slew of last minute cancellations left me with a funny feeling in my belly. Besides the whole Frank/Kanye diabolical, ultimate dad rock outfit Deerhunter wasn't going to be there to perform one of my all time favorite albums, Halcyon Digest. Not to mention the tragic cancellation of Ben UFO and Joy Orbinson due to visa troubles. But despite all of that, I was presently surprised by the talent and minor changes the festival had put into action this year.
The nightmare of last year was entering the arena, keeping the crowd barricaded outside until \finally opening the doors to a mob of angry festival goers. This year a separate entrance for the floor was put in place, and festival goers waited in a constantly moving line to enter. No panic attacks for this girl. The layout was no different than last year, and the trek from The Lawn (the second largest stage) to the Main Stage was long enough to make most attendees exhausted. Yet despite my aching feet, the diverse group of artists and positive energy of the crowd kept my spirits high. I saw so many wonderful and talented people, but somehow I narrowed my favorites down to five. Check out my quick recap of each after the jump, and get ready for a wild ride.
I haven't paid much attention to !!! since their 2010 album Strange Weather, Isn't It? But wow that's all changed since witnessing the absolutely amazing show these boys put on Saturday night. Grooving in and out of hits like "Jamie, My Intentions Are Bass," it was impossible for anyone to not have a good time. Also, not to mentions the fact that the lead singer of !!! wears such short shorts and lives his life to the fullest he is my role model.
Nico Jarr lit up The Arena (or as I like to call it the Rave Cave) on Sunday night. Starting things off slow, Jarr knew exactly how to build and tease the last bits of serotonin from an exhausted crow. The peak came when he played the legend Geraldine Hunt, the full blown dance party really was a sight to see. I don't go to church but I did see Nico on a Sunday so that's basically the same thing right?
Kanye knows exactly what he does and why he does it. A true performer, artist and visionary. Kanye made sure we heard every hit, performing a song a minute during the ten minute finale and then fishing with his emotional "Only One." Dude even had Rihanna come out for not only one, but two songs. Kanye's performance was even better than this video, and that's saying something.
One of the classiest sets of the weekend, seriously I wish I had a wine/cheese plate while I was watching. D'Angelo really came in with a fun for the whole family vibe. From 2000's "Spanish Joint†to his fan favorite "Brown Sugar,†the crooner proved once and for all that he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
The crowd was warm and inviting as the new six-piece backing band took the stage at sunset, swaying from side to side as hits like "Only You Can Show Me" and "Sweetness Alive" filled the air. Afterwards the mood was lighter, everyone was smiling and Goldroom was finally able to showcase his own version of California pop to he city he calls home.
We'd like to thank the lovely people at FYF for having us, we hope to see some of y'all there next year!

Bad news: The "Walkers," as zombies are known in The Walking Dead, have upgraded to hoverboards.
Good news: This just makes them easier for Daryl Dixon to kill.
Norman Reedus, Daryl's alter-ego and the star of our March 2016 issue, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday night, where he showcased his skills in hoverboard-related combat.
VIDEO: Norman Reedus' Men's Fitness Cover Photoshoot >>>
After crushing, clobbering, and generally turning the zombies into pincushions for his crossbow bolts, Reedus sat down on Kimmel's couch to explain a real-life carnivorous encounter he had at a Walking Dead fan convention.
In his time away from the undead hordes, Reedus is starring in the action-thriller Triple 9, which hits theaters February 26. Check out the trailer here.
And just for the laughs, we thought you might enjoy this Benny Hill rendition of the chase scene from season 6, episode 10 of The Walking Dead. (Spoilers ahead!)

Quote of Note | Simon Garfield
"I first became interested in type when I bought David Bowie's Hunky Dory album in my teens. Taking it home on the upper deck of a London bus, I remembered staring intently at the sleeve for clues to what might lie inside. Hunky Dory offered its wares in a type called Zipper, a classic bit of buzzy sci-fi text that suggested something spacey and robotic (the songs were actually spacey and vulnerable).
It soon became clear that type was strong stuff, able to confer emotion and mood in the most direct ways. The bus I was riding had its destination letters in less imaginative type, but they were no less functional (they were in the ultra-clear Johnston font that also adorned the London Underground). Like reliable architecture, form followed function: The bus letters had clarity while Bowie's had intrigue."
–Simon Garfield, author of Just My Type: A Book About Fonts (Gotham), in an essay published in this weekend's Wall Street Journal

Dry-Friendly Bar: All Bar One
All Bar One is a chain of bars strategically located near offices for easy after-work drinks. They remind me of corporate American sports bars except there aren't any television screens to watch the match; the sport here is drinking. I normally would avoid a place like this assuming there wasn't anything appealing for non-drinkers, but much to my surprise they have a new menu featuring tasty non-alcoholic cocktails that they call "softails" (a catchy term which we hope will replace "mocktails"!)
I really enjoyed the Virgin Pomegranate & Earl Grey Iced Tea, which was colorfully pink and served in a tall glass. The tea made it less sweet and gave it an edge. The Fine and Dandy (with dandelion and burdock cordial) brought back memories of my former beach days drinking a Dark 'N Stormy (Gosling's Black rum and ginger beer). It's a cross between a root beer and sarsaperilla (remember Moxie?) The waiter helpfully reminded me to stir it before drinking as the syrup tends to rest at the bottom of the glass. It had lots of flavour and was a welcome change from ordering a Diet Coke. The Mango and Passion Fruit Fizz (see photo) was a bit too sweet for me but I think it would be a nice replacement for Mimosas when ordering from their brunch menu, which also looks fabulous.
My only complaint would be that the drinks came without any bells and whistles, but the price is quite low so maybe they're keeping costs down. Then again, sometimes all the fruit and leafy garnishes topping mocktails can make them appear too frou frou (and scream I HAVE NO ALCOHOL IN MY GLASS!) so maybe this works for All Bar One. Looking forward to trying the Peach Melba next time!

War Hero or War Slave?:. The Armed Prostitute
Every society rests on the death of men.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
ITEM Almost one out of three American men is a veteran.'
ITEM In one World War I battle alone (the Battle of the Somme), more than one million men were killed or maimed.2
Understanding men requires understanding men's relationship to the three Ws. women, work, and war. Only IB-year-old boys are legally required to register for future wars. Both sexes have the option of joining the armed services in peacetime, but only men in the services are required to be available for combat in wartime. Should a major war break out, it is only our sons who will be notified within forty-eight hours to report to boot camp. Before men can vote, they have the obligation to protect that right, women receive the right to vote without the obligation to protea that right.

Jul 19, 2007
Update: An Unbroken Agony (Haiti: From Revolution to the Kidnapping of a President) by best-selling writer and social justice activist Randall Robinson, has just been released. I have not received my copy yet, but Mr. Robinson is a compelling writer and insightful social critic, and he had a front row seat to the unfolding of Haiti�s 2004 coup d�etat in Washington, Port-au-Prince, the CARICOM countries and the Central African Republic. Mr. Robinson was interviewed Monday, along with Fr. Gerard Jean-Juste, Kevin Pina and Jean St. Vil on KPFA�s Flashpoints (click here to listen). He�ll be interviewed on C-SPAN�s� Q & A program this Sunday, at 8 and 11 PM (also available by podcast from the Q & A archives).
Upcoming Events: The Jubilee USA Network is organizing a 40-day fast for debt cancellation and economic justice from September 6 to October 15. A Haiti debt cancellation day will be part of that, we�ll send details soon. In the meantime, Jubilee USA is looking for organizations to commit to participating, including joining a one-day fast on September 6 and adding your name to the list of organizational sponsors. For more information on the fast, click here, or contact Brian Swarts, firstname.lastname@example.com.
This Week�s Action:�� We have an excellent opportunity to include political prisoners in a scheduled large release of prisoners. The Port-au-Prince Prosecutor, Claudy Gassant, announced this week that over hundred prisoners will be released soon to ease overcrowding and reduce prolonged pre-trial detention. The prosecutor�s office cited mothers, children and those suffering from tuberculosis as the priority categories for release, but Mario Joseph of the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux has presented Me.Gassant with a file documenting one hundred cases of political prisoners who have been held for as long as three years without any legal basis. Mario has asked us to back him up by writing the Prosecutor and urging him to release the political prisoners as part of this initiative.
Please help Mario out and take advantage of this opportunity by writing to Me. Gasssant. A sample letter is below; feel free to customize it to integrate your personal experience and interests. You may send the letter directly to Me. Gassant by regular mail, or to us by fax: (206) 350-7986 (a U.S. number) or email: firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will ensure that it is delivered.

Re: Release of Political Prisoners Held in Prolonged Detention
Dear Prosecutor Gassant:
I am writing to thank you for your announced plan to fight excessive pre-trial detention by releasing over one hundred prisoners, and to encourage you to include political prisoners among the people that you release.
As you know, there are more than 100 prisoners in the National Penitentiary who were politically active before their arrest and have no legal justification for their detention in their case file. All of these people are being held in contravention of their rights under Haitian and international law; many have been unjustly imprisoned for three years or more already.
I commend you for doing your best to free children, mothers and tuberculosis sufferers, and suggest that you can do even more good by adding political prisoners to your list. Freeing the political prisoners will immediately reduce both overcrowding in the prison and your government�s expenses in detaining those prisoners. It will also respond to the recommendations of the Consultative Commission and the various human rights groups and experts, who have called for the release of those arrested illegally and those held for excessive periods. Most importantly, releasing the political prisoners will demonstrate your commitment to applying the rule of law equally, without regard to the political opinions of those before you.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.

Active Replica Setup
Set up Your Replica Node to Easily Accept Reads & Writes
KeyDB now has support for active replicas (Also known as "Active Active"). This greatly simplifies fail-over scenarios as replicas no longer need to be promoted to active masters. In addition, "Active Replica" support can be used to distribute load in high write scenarios.
How it Works
By default, KeyDB acts as Redis does and only allows one-way communication from the master to the replica. A new configuration option "active-replica" has been added and when set to true also implies "replica-read-only no". Under this mode KeyDB will accept replicas even if its connection to the master is severed. It will also allow circular connections where two nodes are the master of each other.
Split Brain
KeyDB can handle split brain scenarios where the connection between masters is severed, but writes continue to be made. Each write is timestamped and when the connection is restored each master will share their new data. The newest write will win. This prevents stale data from overwriting new data written after the connection was severed.
Steps to Enable
The following steps assume two servers, A and B.
- Both servers must have "active-replica yes" in their respective configuration files
- On server B execute the command "replicaof [A address] [A port]" Server B will drop its database and load server A's dataset
- On server A execute the command "replicaof [B address] [B port]" Server A will drop its database and load server B's dataset (including the data it just transferred in the prior step)
- Both servers will now propagate writes to each other. You can test this by writing to a key on Server A and ensuring it is visible on B and vice versa.
See our demo on YouTube:
Technical Implementation
On boot each KeyDB instance will compute a dynamic UUID. This UUID is not saved and exists only for the life of the process. When a replica connects to its master it will inform the master of its UUID and the master will reply with its own. The UUIDs are compared to inform the server if two clients are from the same KeyDB instance (IPs and ports are insufficient as there may be different processes on the same machine). The UUIDs are used to prevent rebroadcasting changes to the master that sent them if it is also our replica.
A new configuration option is added to enable this mode, and when enabled also makes KeyDB writable even if it is a replica (by default this is disabled). Except for extra logic to prevent infinitely bouncing queries between clients in a loop the replication code executes as it normally would.
The majority of Active Replica was implemented in this change
Setting upActive-Replication
Active Replica nodes allow you to read and write to both instances which can increase reads under high load, and have your backup/replica node ready to go in a failure scenario. Setup is as simple as setting up your proxy server to point to the healthy instance. Take a look at the HAProxy section for example configurations that can enable health checks, and different routing configurations (round-robin, first, etc) Setting up you proxy server is simple, and the keydb configuration is even simpler as decribed earlier. An example config file:
Config File
Instance-A config file:
# assuming below parameters were set and IP address of this instance is 10.0.0.2
port 6379
requirepass mypassword123
masterauth mypassword123
# you will need to configure the following
active-replica yes
replicaof 10.0.0.3 6379
Instance-B config file:
# assuming below parameters were set and IP address of this instance is 10.0.0.3
port 6379
requirepass mypassword123
masterauth mypassword123
# you will need to configure the following
active-replica yes
replicaof 10.0.0.2 6379
You can also append to config file
keydb-server --active-replica yes --replicaof <ipaddress> <port>
Testing Active-Replica
Any commands you write to one node will be seen on the other node. If a server goes down, the timestamping will ensure your replica will not overwrite newer writes when it is brought back online. This enables you to set up scripts, cron, etc to automatically reboot failed instances if desired without the risk of overwriting new data. Under extremely high loading there may be mild latentcy but still very low in data syncing (almost negligible).

How the Not Forgotten Association helps ex-service men and women
PUBLISHED: 00:00 28 February 2019
not Archant
A charity providing injured service personnel with life-affirming experiences has passionate supporters in Lancashire. Roger Borrell spoke to one of them
They say an elephant never forgets and that is why it is the perfect symbol for an organisation that not only remembers ex-service men and women who bear physical and mental scars, but also provides them with practical help and life-affirming experiences.
The Not Forgotten association was set up after World War One by American opera star Marta Cunningham. During a tour of Britain she was appalled at shameful treatment of casualties from the trenches, many hidden away and ignored in hospitals. She decided to do something about it and the charity was born.
That passion for helping ex-service personnel continues to burn and nowhere more brightly than in Lancashire. Croston businessman Graeme Barlow, along with family, friends and colleagues, has raised more than £200,000 for this and other north west charities.
It is a cause that has deep meaning for him. Graeme is ex-Army and spent two years in Northern Ireland with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps working with sniffer dogs to seek out explosives. While he came through without any physical injuries, he saw comrades killed and severely injured.
Graeme and his family became regular fundraisers for various charities but after one event that brought in £18,000 he decided to follow in Marta Cunningham's footsteps and place the money with the Not Forgotten association.
The charity doesn't hand out cash but provides recreation, leisure and entertainment for any veteran with a disability, illness or infirmity, whatever the cause. This help can come in many forms – from being invited to high profile events like a Royal garden party to simply being bought a much-needed new television. Their motto 'From Comradeship to Challenge' is designed to show the variety and breadth of the support offered. Some of the activities provide a physical challenge and the opportunity to develop self-confidence. A prime example is an annual trip paid for by Graeme, who most recently took 20 injured veterans on a week-long break at a country house on the Scottish island of Jura. The trip involved a packed programme of country pursuits – from clay pigeon shooting to overland hikes. 'It was a week of good fun and great company but we couldn't do this without the support of my wife, Nicky, and our friends Chris and Sharon Livesey,' said Graeme, whose children Katy, Jack and Jessica also help during the trips.
During the Jura visit, attended by the charity's national chairman David Cowley OBE, guests were able to try out a World War One Lee Enfield 303 rifle which Graeme and his friend Chris had purchased. The first to fire it on the trip was a former Royal Marine sniper.
Once they have its full history, it will be auctioned off in 2020, the charity's centenary year.
'Although I left the forces some 26 years ago, the welfare of ex-service people is still close to my heart and it's good to feel the sense of comradeship on these trips,' said Graeme, who runs the family firm of Barlow Trailers with his brothers. They supply trailers and parts across the UK.'
'We all really enjoy helping these lads, who are appreciative and well-mannered. It's a fantastic charity. While they don't hand out cash, the people they help go on amazing journeys they'll never forget.
'There was a skiing trip to Colorado and we recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. One man, Welsh Guardsman Al Roberts, completed it despite being a double amputee who lost his legs after being the victim of an IED. It was worth every ounce of effort just to see the look on his face when he got to the top.'
You can find out more about the charity at www.nfassociation.org or, if you want to get involved locally, Graeme can be contacted through Barlow Trailers. www.barlowtrailers.co.uk.

A maiden fair
with onyx hair,
her alabaster flesh
lays bare.
Reaching for the words whispered.
Reciting a sonnet of a love treasured.
Falling into deep,
with each step
a quatrain takes.
Invading the senses,
it tingles
and shakes.
Stirring the moment
like a summers heat wave.
Sweltering loins soaked,
by the yearning, wanting, crave
His voice echoes,
spiraling into the abyss,
of her mind.
Travelling the length of her back,
to arch her spine.
The end of a bedtime story
comes with a surprise.
He takes her hand,
looks up towards the sky
and flys
A tail that glitters from their feet that dangle.
Floating to a place where anything is possible.
A maiden fair
with onyx hair,
her alabaster flesh
lays bare.

In late Victorian times, Western Road was mostly residential, yet later became one of Bexhill's main shopping streets. This was a well-known cinema (The Picture Playhouse), officially opened in 1921 by the Duchess of Norfolk. In 1974, the stalls were turned into a bingo club (later an antiques market) and the circle into the Curzon Picture House. Its final lease of life was in 2005–08 as the Redstack Playhouse theatre/cinema, after which it had remained abandoned.

A nor'easter moved through Maine on Saturday, bringing rain, high winds and power outages, as well as snow to interior and western areas and the potential for minor flooding along the southern coast.
The storm hit York and Cumberland counties during the late morning hours. It rained heavily at times throughout the afternoon, but by Saturday night most of the heavy rain and mixed precipitation had begun tapering off, leaving only light rainfall and gusty winds expected overnight, according to Bob Marine, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray.
Marine said the overnight would likely bring sustained winds of between 15 and 25 mph for most of the state, with gusts of up to 50 mph, especially along the coast. A wind advisory was posted for the coast and a winter weather advisory will remain in effect for the mountains and foothills until Sunday morning, he said.
"It's those gusts of wind that can cause problems," Marine said. "It could cause some scattered power outages."
More than 13,000 Central Maine Power customers were without electricity around 8 p.m. Saturday. The areas most affected were York, Oxford, Cumberland, Knox and Waldo counties.
And only 310 Emera Maine customers were without power, primarily in Blue Hill and Surry.
While coastal areas mostly experienced rain with some snow and sleet mixed in, snow fell farther inland and in the higher elevations, ranging from a dusting in the Sebago Lake region to nearly an inch in the hills and mountains, Marine said.
The storm should be wrapped up by midmorning Sunday in southern Maine as drier air moves in, but scattered rain and snow showers were forecast for much of Sunday in the mountains.
The storm made for some tricky driving conditions north and west of Portland during the afternoon.
The Maine Turnpike Authority lowered the speed limit to 45 mph on the turnpike at 1:30 p.m. from the New Gloucester tolls at mile 67 to the end at mile 109 because of snow. The turnpike reported at least two crashes on the highway, one at mile 75 southbound in Auburn at 1:15 p.m. and another at mile 100 southbound in Sabattus at 1:27 p.m.
But normal speeds were restored shortly after 4:40 p.m.
Across Kennebec, Franklin and Somerset counties, reports of traffic accidents, overturned vehicles and cars off the road on both major and secondary roads kept law enforcement officers and first responders busy.
In Winthrop, police dispatcher Dana Massey said Main Street was "a little greasy," and road crews would be out.
An accident on Route 202 near Blue Rock Road in Monmouth drew a police response, Massey said, but the road remained open for traffic.
The storm was forecast to drop 1.25 inches of rain along the southern coast and an inch in interior locations, said Nikki Becker, a meteorologist with the weather service.
Minor flooding was expected along the coast, with high tides about 1:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday, and seas possibly reaching 6 to 10 feet.
In Portland, only minor flooding at high tide in the areas of Whole Foods on Marginal Way and Portland Pier was reported, according to Jessica Grondin, communications director for City Hall. "Rainfall intensity was not extreme enough to trigger major issues," Grondin said.
Once this storm passes, there won't be much time to dry out. Another storm system should move in Monday, with more rain possible Tuesday night and Wednesday night into Thursday.
Staff Writer Jessica Lowell of the Kennebec Journal contributed to this report.

The Legend of Zelda: Return to Termina is a made up game made by KriztianMilanes. It is the sequel to Majoras Mask.
Link was wandering through the lost woods, trying to get back home from his journey at Terminal. In Hyrule, Ganondorf, the evil king, tracked down to a evil power source, that was thought to be drained of evil, in a mysterious world. He noticed it could be used to increase his power to take the Tri Force with ease, and it could not let anyone stop him. So he headed to the woods, following the path, then he came noticed a small boy wearing green clothing, at first he didn't care about him, then Ganondorf took a closer look, and noticed green clothing and a sword, which he thought was similar to the boy he met in Hyrule, also known as the hero of time, Ganondorf also noticed the Tri Force marking on his hand, so then, out a burst of silence, Ganondorf grabbed began chasing link using his horse, while link was using Epona to escape, while shooting light arrows to stop him in his tracks, but link had taken a wrong turn, he fell back into Termina, which caused all his items to scatter across terminal, never to be retrieved for now. Ganondorf headed out to Termina, trying to seek out Link and the evil power source to capture link with power.
What's New
In this game, it will introduce a new transformation mask called the Stal Mask, which lets Link transform in a Stalchild, that can use a bone sword, swing his fists, and communicate with undead monsters to access things. It also allows you to receive the Skull Whistle, which allows call your new friend, the Skull Kid. More new things will be TBA.

The environment is a fragile place. Over the past three decades the environment has undergone a major shift and is in the middle of correcting itself. Throwing pollutants into the air, water and land have caused the increase of the global temperature, ice caps and seawater to melt among the increase of major storms and global events.
One of the major issues was the release of fumes from fuel. Cars, generators, industrialization have all taken their toll on the planet. Now, that we are seeing the damage that is being done, those in power have released new laws and regulations to help combat the problem. Many are now working on fuel economy vehicles and machines to help reduce the carbon footprint we are all now feeling the effects of.
Besides the damage done by fuels the environment is also being hit hard by industrialization. The construction of buildings is now eating up more natural habitat then before. Wildlife that was once thriving in these areas are now being forced out and their populations are dwindling as a result.
For those looking to help reduce the effects of these changes changing your mindset and the actions you are taking as a result will be a start. For those who drive look for better vehicles that get better gas mileage and are even working on electricity.
When you find yourself out in the environment stay away from plastic and one-use containers. Many places now are outlawing these types of contains in favor of a more economical and ecological alternative.
Work together with friends and family to do your part to help the environment. If possible, turn to a one vehicle family. Carpool with friend and family and even start taking ride shares such as Ubers and Lyfts. Taking the time to think about the environment will help but taking action will see the greatest results.

EXPOSURE: a passive DNS analysis service to detect and report malicious domains
ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC), Volume 16, N°4, April 2014, ISSN: 1094-9224
A wide range of malicious activities rely on the domain name service (DNS) to manage their large, distributed networks of infected machines. As a consequence, the monitoring and analysis of DNS queries has recently been proposed as one of the most promising technique to detect and blacklist domains involved in malicious activities (e.g., phishing, SPAM, botnets command and control, etc.). EXPOSURE is a system we designed to detect such domains in realtime, by applying 15 unique features grouped in 4 categories. We conducted a controlled experiment with a large, real-world data set consisting of billions of DNS requests. The extremely positive results obtained in the tests convinced us to implement our techniques and deploy it as a free, online service. In this paper, we present the EXPOSURE system and describe the results and the lessons learned from 17 months of operation of it. Over this amount of time, the service detected over 100K malicious domains. The statistics about the time of usage, number of queries, and target IP addresses of each domain are also published on a daily basis on the service webpage.
