Have you ever wanted to see giraffes, hippos and elephants all in the same place? It's almost unbelievable, but all this and more is available to you at Botswana's famous reserve, the Okavango Delta.
For those who aren't sure, the Okavango Delta is the world's largest inland delta, spanning more than 16,000 square kilometres across Botswana. It's home to both marine life, and big game alike, and offers a real snapshot into the animal kingdom.
Adventure Options
The Okavango Delta offers a variety of options when deciding how to maximise your adventure. If you want to strip away modern day luxury, tents are available to rent, alongside a jeep for transportation, and your own crew to guide you through the vast landscapes. If you'd prefer a bit more luxury, and a bit less mud, beautiful cabins are available for those who want the privacy of a villa combined with the once in a lifetime views of a safari. It's not uncommon to find yourself sitting on the porch at sundown, and looking out to see giraffes or elephants either making their way to the river bed, or settling down for the night. Such experiences are truly magnificent, and the Okavango Delta offers an experience that would be difficult to find elsewhere.
Getting Around
The terrain may be vast and challenging, but the journey doesn't have to be. The Okavango Delta has plenty to offer in terms of transportation that would make your African safari holiday truly unique. Guided kayak tours are perfect to travel the delta with ease. The tours take a relaxed approach to the expedition, allowing for the perfect opportunity to take in and document the surrounding wildlife. Whether it's a pride of lions or some crafty hyenas, kayaking offers ample opportunity for a breathtakingly exclusive experience. If you'd prefer a closer connection to wildlife while you travel through, elephant rides are also available for those who are brave enough. The guided tours allow for a chance to be right in the middle of the wildlife as you gaze upon the wonders of the animal world. Also, the animals are well cared for, and their playful natures are able to shine through in the African terrain.
What to See
You won't get a better variety of animals than the Okavango Delta. The delta is home to all sorts of species, from big game mammals to reptiles, the opportunities are endless when it comes to what you can see first-hand and up close.
Due to its all-inclusive terrain, the delta is also home to some of the world's rarest birds. From ostriches to grebes, there's no shortage of colourful wildlife on offer.
If you do choose to travel the delta by boat, the chances are you won't be alone. Hippos are common place on the river, and they may even come over for the perfect picture opportunity.
For those marine life enthusiasts, you won't get a better chance to explore and enjoy these animals in their natural, undisturbed habitat.
So there are just some of the reasons why Botswana's Okavango Delta would make the perfect African safari holiday. There are few, if any, other destinations that offer such an up close and personal viewing of the animal kingdom.

14 Hotels in Saturnia , Italy
Saturnia is worldwide famous for its thermal waters mainly rich of sulphur and carbonic acid dissolved elements, that are helpful to eliminate scaliness and dead cells.
The village of Saturnia stands perched in a valley on the hillside rocks of Maremma and its origins are lost in a fairly remote past.
Saturnia seems to be the oldest place in the Italian peninsula, having been inhabited since Neolithic times.
Etruscans civilisation can be seen in the necropolis at Puntone or in the many sepulchres sites of the area.
In Etruscan times, the village was named Aurinia and ancient legend identifies it as Saturnia Tellus, the home of Saturn, son of Uranus and Lord of Gods.
The first founding relating to Saturnia are of the second half of the 18th century B.C. as shown by the Etruscan sepulchres of Sedia di Carlo.
Romans overcame the Etruscans making the small rural settlement turn into their own real city.
In the medieval times, the peculiarity of its sulphurous springs, created many legends and some bad ones tell that the devil had come out from the spring and the area was described as a place where bewitched water flowed into steamy, boiling wells, spreading all around a sulphurous smell.
Saturnia also suffered Saracen incursions during this time and later it became part of the Siena Republic.
Later, Saturnia followed the fate of Maremma, under the rule of Gran Ducato di Toscana until the Italian Union.
During the 19th century, the countryside was mainly agricultural and it had constant emigration of its inhabitants.
From 1970 and up to the end of the 1980 the Thermal Baths tourism increased for the upcoming tendency of nature holidays, that gave to the whole area a new lease of life while maintaining its values and its rural tranquillity.
Saturnia has nowaday become a modern tourist center and it has also maintained the charm of an ancient village.
Te resort boasts all basic needs and you can also find pleasant souvenirs or handcraft shops.

BitNinja has a built-in module for monitoring current active connections and interfering in case of a potential denial of service attack. If there are more than 80 connections from a single IP, BitNinja detects it as an attack. The 80 threshold can be configured on a per port basis.
To change the default thresholds create a config file at /etc/bitninja/DosDetection/config.ini
An example content for the config.ini file:
; Thresholds set to DoS Detection
general = 80
; Threshold for remote SMTP servers.
remote[25] = 200
remote[53] = 200
; Threshold for local ports
local[22] = 40
;You can set restrictions for remote and local ports. For example to change
;the number of connections allowed to the default IMAP4 port (143) you can do this:
local[143] = 150
When BitNinja detects a DoS attack, it will block the IP for 1 minute and then place it to the greylist allowing the user to delist his/her IP. To change the default threshold, you can modify /etc/bitninja/IpFilter/config.ini, or add this section with the proper value:
; Temporary blacklist time in DoS suspicious requests; default: 60
tmp_bl_sec = 60
You can read more about the greylist on the CaptchaHttp - Http Captcha module page.
Don't forget to restart BitNinja after creating the custom restrictions.

In comments released by Fox via e-mail, one of the network's commentators takes a big whack at the Giants.
Why should you care? Because that commentator is former Giant Michael Strahan.
"I'm not apologizing for that, they should be ashamed of themselves," Strahan said on "The Dan Patrick Show" on Fox Sports Radio of the Giants' loss to the Eagles this past Sunday. "You look at that game and wonder how it got out of hand for the Giants. They got soft and relaxed. They thought, 'We got it.'"
One of our photographers who was near the Giants' bench when they led 31-10 was telling me the same thing today. He said he felt they were prematurely celebrating. The next thing they knew, their lead was cut to two touchdowns and the Eagles had the ball back after a surprise onside kick.
"All of a sudden the blitzes looked like, 'Whoever gets there gets there,' instead of, 'I'm going to make that play and not wait for someone to make that play,'" Strahan said. "Then when it came time to pick it up, they couldn't. The end of the game was fitting because you don't let a team back in when you're up like that."
Strahan said the problem for the Giants has been closing out games.
"The Giants have not finished," he said. "I don't know if they know how to finish and they need to learn how, if they expect to do anything this year. You have to have a killer instinct. You have to finish teams."
* * * *
8 p.m. UPDATE A previous version of this entry stated the Giants would play an NFC North team on the road next year. Giants.com has it listed that way. But Giants.com also has it the other way.
I did some surfing to see what the consensus is and it appears the Giants will play an NFC North team at home while hitting the road to face an NFC South team. The Eagles' site has it that way (it would be the same format for all NFC East teams) and so does JohnnyRoadTrip.com. Sorry for any confusion. The changes are reflected below:
* * * *
On a separate note, the Giants will play the Packers this weekend for the first time since the NFC Championship game in January 2008. And if everything shakes out as expected, they'll face them again next year.
The Giants right now are in second place in the NFC East. With one loss or one Eagles victory, that's where they'll be guaranteed to finish. With the Bears' clinching the NFC North, the Packers are assured of finishing second in the division.
In 2011, the Giants are scheduled to play a home game against whichever team finishes in the same spot in the NFC North as they finish in their division. At this point, that team appears likely to be the Packers.
As for the away game that's TBD, it's against the NFC South. Right now, it would be the Saints, though it could also be the Falcons or the Buccaneers. So stay tuned on that one.
And on the possibility of there being no football in 2011, of course...

Renowned London market property underwriting executive Les Rock has taken a non-executive director position at MGA and Lloyd's coverholder Rokstone – a trading name of Direct Insurance Group plc – as the company sets out on an ambitious growth strategy, Re-insurance can reveal.
Rock was part of the founding management team of Ironshore when the company was launched in Bermuda by the late Bob Clements with private equity backing in 2007 and generated sizeable income and profits for the company in its earliest days.
He was CUO before departing the start-up in late 2008.
Rock was previously active underwriter at Heritage Managing Agency, now part of Bermuda-based carrier Argo Group and is a leading figure in the market for writing US property risk, including facultative business.
Rokstone is an MGA and Lloyd's coverholder that writes property facultative (Rokstone Re) and treaty business (Rokstone Re-Treaty), as well as marine and auto business, on behalf of a number of different carriers.
Its property treaty business was launched earlier this year, writing on the paper of AM Best A- rated Best Meridian International Insurance Company. Its marine facility on behalf of Lloyd's paper and the firm is shortly expected to unveil a separate construction facility.
The firm is also in talks with a number of different carriers as it anticipates sizeable growth in the future. While it wrote in the region of $20mn GWP in the first year it expects this to have doubled to the region of $40mn for the 2018/19 risk year.
However, it has aspirations of writing up to $250m on behalf of a number of different carriers and via different facilities within five years and anticipates Rock will be a significant influence in helping support its roll-out plans.
The treaty unit's head, Peter Mousley, is a former CNA Hardy executive and the Facultative unit head, Paul Hallinan, is a former Talbot Underwriting executive, who both report to Rokstone Underwriting CUO James Potter and David Bearman, who is also CEO of the parent company Direct Insurance Group plc.
Speaking to re-Insurance.com, the former Price Forbes executive Potter welcomed Rock's arrival.
"Les has a deserved reputation as one of the leading US property underwriters and I am delighted he is joining Rokstone at a crucial chapter in the company's evolution. I have long been an admirer of Les's talents and I am looking forward to working closely with him in the future".
Rock added: "I am thrilled to be joining Rokstone and supporting James and David's vision of a premier MGA providing first class underwriting services to clients and our markets. I look forward to helping build the business over the years to come".

Karuma, Isimba hydropower projects to add 783MW
Kampala, Uganda | JULIUS BUSINGE | Uganda's electricity supply is expected to increase later this year as government switches on Isimba and Karuma hydropower dams amidst low electricity demand.
The government is set to launch Isimba (183MW) and Karuma (600MW) hydropower dams – whose constructions are at 75% and 71% completion – in August and December, respectively. The two dams are expected to cost government approx. US$2bn.
At the moment, the country's electricity installed capacity stands at about 850MW, with Bujagali Energy Limited alone generating 250MW and the rest by Kiira, Nalubale and other small power stations.
Proscovia Njuki, the chairperson, Board of Directors at the Uganda Electricity Generation Company Limited (UEGCL) told The Independent on the sidelines of the launch of the company's five year strategic plan on Dec.15 that they are optimistic that the timelines for the launch of the two power dams would be met.
She said there are supporting factors including having a technical and competent human resource base and the continued BOD's on spot supervision and monitoring of the projects.
"We continue to get support from government agencies [ministry of energy and finance] which we hope will help us achieve our plans," Njuki said, adding that the government agency also plans to ensure efficient operations at the Kiira/Nalubaale hydropower complex.
This comes at the time the government has also agreed to all the demands of the financiers of Bujagali hydropower dam – World Bank's International Finance Corporation, African Development Bank, Netherlands Development Finance, Proparco, European Investment Bank and KfW – which includes extending loan repayment period and a tax waiver as a measure to bring down the cost of electricity.
TheUS$900million loan facility, which was to be paid by 2023, is reported to have been extended by 15 years and also availed a tax waiver over the same period for the tariffs to come down.
Government technocrats have always argued that the high electricity tariffs in the country are a result of high cost of generation to involvement of private-sector players seeking a return on investment.
The increase in electricity is expected to boost government's efforts geared towards strengthening its competitiveness in the regional and global trade; wealth creation, jobs and ultimately accelerating general economic performance.

Last night, wunderkind Johnny Gaudreau hit the 50-point mark by virtue of scoring a pair of goals in Calgary's 6-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks.
Gaudreau, who once was thought to be too small to play pro hockey, is the first Flames freshman to hit the 50-point plateau since somebody named "Jarome Iginla" back in 1996-67.
Where does this put Gaudreau all-time among Flames rookies with 15 games remaining?
I don't think 60 points is out of the question for Gaudreau. He already has 50 points in 66 games, so it wouldn't be radically difficult based on his past performance for him to get another 10 points in the remaining 15 games.

Simulating the cryosphere
To predict trends in the Earth's ice system and to acquire an understanding of what the future cryosphere might look like, researchers like Sutter use computer models that can simulate the responses of ice—such as melting—to increasing global warming. These cryosphere models are built using mathematical descriptions of the physics of ice and over the past few years have become more dynamic in nature. Today, some are sophisticated enough to simulate changes in the size and geometry of ice sheets as they melt.
According to Sutter, there are two major classes of ice sheet models currently in use. "One class are high-resolution, heavy-physics models that implement all the current knowledge we have about ice sheet dynamics," he says. "They are computationally very demanding and therefore limited to short timescales, like predicting the changes of a certain glacier over the coming decades, for example. The second class are continental-scale models that can be used to simulate the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets for centuries and millennia."
These latter models can be applied for long-term predictions, such as the coming century and beyond, and cover large geographic regions. While they also include major physical processes such as the melting of ice shelves, they don't have the same level of detail as the high-resolution counterparts. A key difference is that this continental-scale class of model applies some simplifications to reduce computational requirements.
A big advantage of this second class of continental-scale models is that they can be integrated with a complete Earth system model that boasts ocean, atmosphere, and land-vegetation simulations. Within this system, the simulated melting of ice from Greenland can be used to look at the effect this meltwater has on the ocean, such as changing ocean circulation or sea-level rise. In the future, it is anticipated that the inclusion of these dynamic ice sheet models within the whole Earth system will bring further realism to predictions for the 21st century and beyond.
Know your history
This second class of models is also used for paleoclimate studies—research into climates of the past. Just like models can be used to simulate the future by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, paleoclimate simulations are performed by making changes that reflect a specific period of interest. By changing continental structures, vegetation coverage, and carbon dioxide concentration, for example, we can see how ice sheets might have responded to past climates.
According to Sutter, "the warm period prior to the last ice age, known as the last interglacial about 130,000 years ago, was warmer than today and experienced a short time in which sea levels increased by six to nine meters due to a smaller global ice cover. Going further back in time to the Pliocene, about 2 million years ago, sea levels were even higher."
These historic sea level rises are caused by a changing cryosphere in sync with the changing climate system. In the past the gradual accumulation and melting of the ice sheets has been the major cause for changing sea-levels across the globe. Scientists now think that by studying such past changes it might be possible to learn about the future, using past warm periods as analogues for our future climate. If carbon dioxide emissions stay on their current track, in a business-as-usual scenario we can expect the ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica to undergo further melting, causing a rise in sea level similar to—or greater than—the last interglacial warm period 130,000 years ago.
Looking at the past has also suggested other ways that the cryosphere is integrated into the Earth's climate system. Past changes in the cryosphere may have played an active role in changing the intensity and direction of ocean currents. One main feature that appears throughout the geological record, particularly during the last glacial period (ice age), between around 110,000 and 12,000 years ago, are variations of the circulation in the Atlantic Ocean, which shifts between weak and strong modes.
"We can track changes in past ocean circulation by looking at the distribution of nutrients and other tracers of water mass origin in the Atlantic," says Jean Lynch-Stieglitz, professor at the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Georgia Institute of Technology. "At the end of the last Ice Age, the meltwater from the disintegration of the large ice sheet sitting over North America entering the North Atlantic Ocean triggered significant changes in Atlantic circulation. These changes in ocean circulation, in turn, changed the transport of heat by the ocean, which ultimately impacted patterns of temperature and rainfall around the globe. This also happened periodically during the last ice age as the large ice sheet underwent periodic episodes of disintegration known as Heinrich Events."
Icing up an ice age
Past changes in the Earth's ice system may have also been an active player in modulating the exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and oceans. This is important because atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are lower during glacial periods. While the ultimate cause of glacial periods involves changes in the Earth's orbit and rotation, the changes in carbon dioxide helped determine the heat content of the atmosphere—how warm it is. But precisely why carbon dioxide levels dropped so much during glacial periods remains a mystery.
"It is not well known what role (if any) changes in sea ice played in the lower atmospheric carbon dioxide observed during glacial times," says Lynch-Stieglitz. "It seems likely that changes in biology, ocean circulation and/or reduced air-sea gas exchange in the Southern Ocean were responsible for the drawdown of carbon dioxide."
"More sea ice in the Southern Ocean could restrict the air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide," she explains. "And changes in the rate and location of sea ice formation could impact ocean circulation in this key region." Ultimately, expanding Antarctic sea ice could help keep carbon dioxide in the ocean and out of the atmosphere.
If this does turn out to be the case, it might have implications for the future in a warming world. Could reduced sea-ice, caused by global warming, have an impact on the amount of carbon dioxide drawn down into the oceans, affecting atmospheric levels? As of yet, nobody really knows.
In any case, armed with such knowledge of past climates, societies across the globe can develop policy to mitigate the effects of climate change—such as rising sea levels—that we are almost certainly set to experience this century. Solutions are likely to incorporate a range of skills and creative genius throughout a variety of fields as we try to manage the climate, our infrastructure, and the people who rely on both.
But for the planet itself, the results may be nothing new. Dr. Sutter points out that at certain times during Earth's geological past, the cryosphere was much less expansive than it is today. He concludes that "when dinosaurs roamed the world there were no ice sheets on the planet. It is only in the relatively recent past, on geological time scales, that ice sheets are a thing at all."

A dedicated server is a physical machine that is available all to yourself and is not shared with any other users. Since you are the only user on the server by default, you can take advantage of its resources the way you like. Dedicated servers are typically used to host resource-intensive services or websites. Recently, dedicated servers are also used to host multiple, virtual machines.
Usually, in order to become a server reseller, you need to rent or purchase the servers beforehand and then sell or lease them to customers. However, this requires a serious investment in hardware and you will need to cover the re-location costs even if you haven't sold or leased them yet. With us, you can become a server reseller without having to buy the servers in advance, since you will be selling our server configurations under your own brand name.
A white label dedicated server reseller program is any program whereby you act as a reseller but in the eyes of the customer you are the sole provider. Since there are not that many dedicated server reseller programs available as a whole, there also aren't that many white label dedicated server reseller solutions. However, with us, you can become a white label dedicated server reseller at no cost.
A dedicated reseller server is not that different from any other dedicated server to set up. You will still need to focus a lot on security and stability, with a lot of providers out there opting to use CloudLinux and LiteSpeed as the OS and the web server in their setup. However, if you don't have any experience in the matter, it's best to leave that job to a professional server admin.
Since every customer has their own specific needs, there is no absolute "best dedicated server reseller program". Depending on your needs, different providers can serveyou better or worse. A provider recommended by all can seem poor to one customer and a provider with lots of negative feedback can turn out to be the best dedicated server provider for another customer.
There is huge difference between reseller hosting and a dedicated server. With a dedicated server you will have full control over the hosting environment. You will be able to set up the server the way you need to and install any additional software you want. However, dedicated servers are also much more expensive than reseller hosting solutions, and more difficult to manage.
There are a lot of cheap, dedicated servers offered online. Some of them are cheap because they use older hardware, others are cheap because the company buys them in bulk. Whenever you see a cheap dedicated server, always make sure to check what kind of hardware it uses and see if there is any feedback about the server provider.

Earth's shadow obscures the view of a so-called supermoon during another total lunar eclipse — this one in Brussels in 2015. – Geert Vanden Wijngaert/AP
"Set your alarm clock – early Wednesday morning, there's a lunar event that hasn't been seen since 1866.
"And it'll be at least partially visible in all 50 U.S. states – though the views will get better and better the farther west you live.
"Let's break this down. This event – called a super blue blood moon – is actually three fairly common lunar happenings all happening at the same time.
"And scientists say that information gathered during the event could help them figure out where to land a rover on the moon."

App Says That 20.1°C Is Cold
Is there any way of adjusting the system so that what I think is cold is actually appearing as cold on the Tado app?
In my house I normally set the heating to 19°C and we all feel very comfortable with that. According to my Tado app we are cold - but we are not.
By the way, it is currently dropping to 7°C outside at night but not dropping below 19°C inside and I am not planning on turning the heating on until the end of September or early October!

Hi @Catfunt
Yes the max/mini of Humidity and Temperature in the Air Confort should be configurable.
For instance in France, the Ademe (National Energy Agency) recommendations are the following:
Temperature for bedroom (a bit low for me) is between 16 and 17°C and two degrees more for a baby room.
Restroom, home entrance temperature should be 17°C. 14°C for unused room even between 12°C to 14°C if it's unused for more than 24h.
Bathroorm temperature should be between 19 and 22°C
So clearly have a room around 19°C shouldn't be returned as cold status. Maybe we need an additional state like "Normal" between "Pleasant" and "Cold"1
I definitely agree with you, and those figures look fair.
I'm not sure how this system would save heating costs if it is encouraging us to over heat our homes...1
NickP101 ✭
Totally agree with the above comments. My App always tells me the house is cold, but right now I'm sat here in t-shirt and shorts and the temp indoor's is 19degC on a crisp Spring morning outside.
This should be user configurable. Certainly at a user level for the entire house, possible even by thermostat...0

It is amazing for me to think about how much a language has the capacity to speak to my heart and change my life. I didn't know this was possible until I started working with the ancient knowledge from India. The palm leaf manuscripts that hold this knowledge are written primarily in an ancient script of Telugu. The word for dawn, morning twilight, in Telugu literally means "white light is coming." The teachings in the palm leaf manuscripts are bringing the dawning of an age of divine consciousness and love. Working with the ancient knowledge has brought greater hope, healing, and consciousness in my life.
Fourteen years ago, I tried mantra meditation for the first time with a practice from the manuscripts called the Five Elements Process. While I didn't know anything about meditation or Telugu at that time, there was something about the process that spoke to my heart and soul. I experienced such positive results that it is almost a decade ago now that I changed careers to be able to study and share this ancient knowledge and to help others receive its benefits in their lives.
There is so much we can do to serve the world by learning Telugu. The sacred sounds of Telugu unlock a priceless body of knowledge written thousands of years ago by saints to help bring physical and emotional healing, natural remedies, and ancient formulas for understanding how God's secrets work.
I can't describe the thrill I felt the first time I read for myself the letters and mantras from a manuscript in Telugu. The ability to read Telugu has expanded my consciousness. Teaching and healing sessions have come to life in new and beautiful ways. I never thought I would be going back to a university program at this point in my life, but Telugu is at the heart of the ancient knowledge and my dharma. Mastering Telugu is an important part of my life's work.
There are divine solutions for humanity's problems contained in the ancient knowledge of the palm leaf manuscripts. These teachings will create happiness, love, peace, and justice in our lives and the world. We want to help translate, preserve, and share the ancient knowledge to help uplift humanity for generations to come.
Your gift will be an investment in making this incredible knowledge accessible and available to everyone. Please donate to support our group of five women learning Intermediate Telugu. We can't do it without you. We promise to use our Telugu language skills in ways that will heal and serve the world. Thank you for your love, and for your support.


text: Everyone has gone crazy about the latest bug that allows 3rd parties to execute USSD code on specific android phones (my Sensation is vulnerable too). j4n87, senior and very active member of XDA has already submitted a patch in this article. Although the vulnerability was disclosed quite quickly and I don't think there are lot's of sites hosting this malware, I do recommend patching your android dialer. It's just better to be safe than sorry. I'm curious, though, how long will it take to see official patches?

Ok, so let's start with what I do like so we can get that out of the way quickly. The graphics and settings are amazing. The islands are rendered beautifully with huge draw distances and lush foliage. The gun fights are actually pretty frantic and the vehicles can be cool at times. The game also has a pretty good length, one of the longest FPS games I have played in a while. There is a good selection of weapons, and you are limited to four different guns which can add a bit of strategy when you select what to take with you.
Now on to what I don't like. First, whose idea was it to put a checkpoint save system in this game? That person needs to be fired. Honestly, I can not think of a single pc game that has a good checkpoint save system. It would have been bearable if the checkpoint system was at least done well, and offered a generous amount of checkpoints. Instead, you get a bunch of checkpoints that mostly seem to be placed at random. At least they generally give you a checkpoint before a large firefight, usually. But there will be times where you will have to travel large distances over and over and over again.
Next, up is the AI. What's so bad about it you ask? Well, it cheats. There were many times when they actually spotted me through solid walls. They can also hear the slightest noise from a mile away, and instead of going to check out the sound, they usually go on full alert. The cheating AI makes the stealth aspect of the game completely useless. There is no point in trying to hide or be quiet with the slightest thing will set them off. There were times when I would creep around a corner and as soon as I peak out, I would get a rocket in my face, even though there was no way they could have possibly known I was there. The cheating AI and the checkpoint save system can make the game extremely frustrating. Not to mention the cheap mutants later in the game with rocket launchers for arms that can take you out in one or two hits, but take what seems like hundreds of shots themselves to take down. It doesn't help that they also usually throw half a dozen of them at you at a time, often in indoor levels where there is no where to maneuver.
Then there is the vehicle physics, or should I say lack of realistic physics. Jeeps and the like bounce around like crazy, making them almost impossible to control at high speeds. Then again, you won't get too much use out of them as you can't even take them off road much due to the amount of trees, rocks, and the rest that will get in your way.
Of course, that didn't make me quit the game, I felt compelled to play until the end (no thanks to the story, which is pretty bad). I think Robert Coffey said it pretty well when he said, "It would be so easy to dismiss Far Cry and the devastating effects of its save system as just another game disaster, but the truth is, the game does so many other things not just well but exceptionally, that you almost hate the game more because it could be so great." If only they had spent more time on the save system, and fixed the obvious cheating AI, the game could have been a lot more fun.
Would I recommend the game? Yeah, its only $20 now, but I would highly suggest that if you have an Xbox, pick up Far Cry: Instincts instead. From what I played in the demo, they fixed many of the PC games problems.

PcDuino is a high performance, cost effective mini PC platform that runs PC like OS such as Ubuntu and Android ICS.
How to: Home Automation - connect 8 channel relay + Raspberry Pi. PcDuino - Dev Board - DEV-11712. Description: As the field of embedded electronics gets more advanced, hobbyists and professionals are both in need of smaller and more powerful computers.
We've been looking for awhile and now we've found one that we really like, not only because it's small and fast but because it's also Arduino shield compatible! The pcDuino is a high performance, cost effective mini PC platform that runs full-featured operating systems such as Ubuntu and Android ICS. It's easy to hook up, just connect 5V power and a keyboard and mouse. The pcDuino outputs video to any HDMI enabled TV or monitor via the built in HDMI interface. It was specifically designed to make it easy for the open source community to develop computationally demanding projects using the vast, existing catalog of Arduino Shields. An API has been developed for the pcDuino that allows the user to access all of the functions that you would expect using simple Arduino-style language. Programming the pcDuino. Favorited Favorite 0 Introduction The beauty of the pcDuino lies in its extraordinarily well exposed hardware peripherals.
However, using these peripherals is more complex than using them on, say, an Arduino-compatible board. This tutorial will help you sort out the various peripherals, what they can do, and how to use them. Before we get started, there are a few things you should be certain you're familiar with, to get the most out of this tutorial: pcDuino - some familiarity with the basics of the pcDuino is needed before you jump into this. All of the code in this tutorial can be found online, in our pcDuino Github repository. Your First Program. Linux Embedded Devices Comparison: Yun, BeagleBoard, Rascal, Raspi, Cubieboard & pcDuino. Awaiting for the new release, Arduino Yun, I think it's very interesting to know more about the new linux devices in the market.
There are a lot of emerging ones and many of them agree in the same feature: to be Arduino-compatible. Why? Arduino was launched in 2005 and it has become in a standard as a modular platform, so all new devices want to add this feature, allowing people to use each platform as easy as Arduino. Some can carry Ethernet, Wifi, HDMI, NAND flash... these features change in each board we are going to compare.
But all of them have GPIOs, and even an expansion board to make the port easy. A quick review of each one Which one should I choose? As I said in my previous post, comparing Arduino Yun and Raspberry Pi, it depends of your final purpose: Arduino compatible: if you are looking for a direct Arduino compatible device, there are 5 options. » pcDuino – Competition That Could Take On The Raspberry Pi RaspberryPiHaX. In all forms of life, there is nothing wrong with some healthy competition and in the micro computer form of life, this comes in the form of pcDuino, which from the specifications, seems like Raspberry Pi on steroids, below i will post some quotes, specifications and images: pcDuino is a high performance, cost effective mini PC platform that runs PC like OS such as Ubuntu and Android ICS.
It outputs its screen to HDMI enabled TV or monitor via the built in HDMI interface. It is specially targeted for the fast growing demands from the open source community. The platform could run full blown PC like OS with easy to use tool chain and compatible with the popular Arduino ecosystem such as Arduino Shields (may need a bridge shield) and open source projects etc.

I want to turn on a 12V Light from this relay. Do I need to have a transistor as well. You can use the Relay separately without other components . Temperature sensor LM35 on pcDuino. LM35 Linear Temperature Sensor can be used to detect ambient air temperature.
This sensor is produced by National Semiconductor Corporation and offers a functional range between 0 degree Celsius to 100 degree Celsius. Sensitivity is 10mV per degree Celsius. The output voltage is proportional to the temperature. It is commonly used as a temperature measurement sensors. It includes thermocouples, platinum resistance, thermal resistance and temperature semiconductor chips, which commonly used in high temperature measurement thermocouples. The output of LM35 has a linear relationship to the temperature in degree Celsius. The equation is as follows: V (T)=10 mV * T. GPIO pin usage from C - pcDuino. The very first thing you might want to do is flash a LED and read the value of a switch.
You will find out how to physically connect the switch or LED (and a current limiting resistor) to a pin elsewhere on the web, and if you want you can use the Arduino-like interface library provided with the pcDuino. However, here is how to do it access the port using Linux's native 'sysfs' interface.

"I used to believe that I knew everything, but with age and wisdom, I have learned that it takes a great team to get a great result." - Douglas J. Rudman, Esq.
Are you eligible to have your juvenile criminal record expunged?
Maybe you made some poor decisions and mistakes as a minor. Everyone makes mistakes, but some are more serious than others and can land you in legal trouble. It's only natural to worry that these bad decisions will haunt you for the rest of your life.
Enjoy your holiday celebrations without the risk of drunk driving
The holiday season is a time filled with office parties, family gatherings and fancy dinners, which are often paired with alcohol. In the name of celebration, those who don't normally drink may choose to imbibe, and those who don't normally drink heavily may choose to overindulge. While this all happens in good fun, a common problem is that those who have been drinking are unable to safely drive home.
Will a first-time offender have to pay bail?
Getting arrested is a scary experience, particularly for first-time offenders. They likely do not know anything about the arrest process, other than what they have seen on TV. What is shown on most TV shows would not do much to alleviate fears. Usually, a first-time offender will face less severe penalties and should not have to stay in jail.
Can I clear my criminal record in Florida?
If you've ever been arrested, you now have a criminal record. Even if the charges against you were subsequently dropped, or even if you were found not guilty in court, the offense remains in your public history. Anyone who does a background check on you can discover the offense--sometimes just by conducting a simple Google search.
Understanding the consequences of probation violation
Probation is a form of community supervision granted to low risk offenders in lieu of incarceration with the main goal of rehabilitation. During the probationary period, the person must comply with any conditions ordered by the court. The length of the probationary period and the terms differ for each case and usually depend on the severity of the offense and any prior convictions. The state of Florida views probation as a privilege and not a right.
Florida AG joins united push against opioid makers
Just in time for the 2018 elections, Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced a fresh initiative against drug makers and drug users.
Tiger Woods to benefit from diversion program
Tiger Woods has spent more time in the news for his driving infractions than his golfing successes recently. Woods, who was arrested in May after he was found unconscious in his Mercedes-Benz in Palm Beach County, pleaded guilty to reckless driving recently, agreeing to enter a diversion program to settle a charge of driving under the influence that stemmed from the incident.
Probation: Is it just a 'get out of jail free' card?
People who are charged with a crime may be eligible for probation, especially if it's a person's first offense. Probation replaces some or all of a jail sentence that would have otherwise been imposed, so it is typically something to fight for if you are facing criminal charges.
When can the police search a car during a traffic stop?
Being pulled over by a police officer is always a tense situation. It can become an even more stressful event if the officer asks to search the car during the traffic stop.

Bullying happens everywhere - online, in school, outside of school. For more information on what bullying is exactly, and other effects, reasons, and ways of bullying, click here.
What is Stomp Out Bullying? (Directly from the website)
STOMP Out Bullying™ - a national anti-bullying and cyberbullying program for kids and teens is a signature program of Love Our Children USA™ who since 1999, has been the national nonprofit leader and 'Go-To' prevention organization fighting all forms of violence and neglect against children in the U.S.
STOMP Out Bullying™ focuses on reducing and preventing bullying, cyberbullying, sexting and other digital abuse, educating against homophobia, racism and hatred, decreasing school absenteeism and truancy, and deterring violence in schools, online and in communities across the country. It includes peer mentoring programs in schools, public service announcements by noted celebrities, in-school education, online and social media campaigns..
Both the STOMP Out Bullying Program™ and its Annual WORLD DAY OF BULLYING PREVENTION - BLUE SHIRT DAY™ initiative bring awareness and educates kids and teens, parents and schools about the issue. It offers hope for every student who experiences the harmful effects of bullying and teaches parents to keep open communication with their kids and teens and to look for signs. It also educates school administrators across the country, who have swept this issue under the rug for far too long. Funds raised for the campaign go towards in-school education, public awareness and education, a dedicated web site, brochures and materials to assist bullying and cyberbullying prevention education and peer mentoring in schools.
Today's students are at risk, and that risk grows more and more everyday as the popularity of the Internet increases. Today our youths are exposed to so much more than we were years ago. And years ago, when a kid or teen threatened to kill someone they didn't mean it. Today students have access to guns and the threat to kill someone is no longer idle.
The issues of bullying and cyberbullying have increased to epidemic proportions. As a form of violence against children of all ages, these issues have caused a crisis. Some victims are so tormented that suicide has become an alternative for them. It has everyone worried. Not just the kids and teens on its receiving end, but the parents, teachers and others who may not understand how extreme bullying can get. Love Our Children USA works aggressively to prevent these issues and to help those affected by it.
Adults must empower the victims and help change the behavior of the bullies. Schools must react swiftly and redirect negative behaviors into positive and productive solutions.
Bystanders who witness the assaults, harassment and threats must not remain silent.
Parents must teach their kids and teens kindness, compassion and respect and schools must do the same.
Our kids and teens need to know they are valued and protected.
Love Our Children created STOMP Out Bullying™ to put an end to this crisis, to keep children of all ages safe and to create bullying prevention education and peer mentoring in schools.
Please join us in our efforts to educate and advocate and most of all to STOMP Out Bullying™!
What YOU Can Do To Help (also directly from the website):
For Kids and Teens
Report Bullying
Don't be afraid to tell an adult. Telling isn't tattling! You are helping someone.
Who should you tell?
You could tell your parents, teacher, school counselor, school nurse, coach or any adult you trust. Be sure to tell exactly what happened ... who was bullied, who the bully was, where and when it happened. Even if you suspect a kid is being bullied, it's a good idea to report that, too. Most adults really do care about bullying and will be glad that you told them about it.
If you tell an adult and you don't think they are doing anything about the bullying or if the situation isn't improving, tell another adult. Keep telling adults until someone does something to help.
Be A Friend To Someone Who Is Being Bullied
Just being supportive to a person who's been bullied is comforting. It shows that someone or many people care.
When someone is down they need a friend. Be there for the person who is being bullied. Be a buddy on school grounds, get together after school, include them in activities, Walk home with them, sit with them on the bus. Being an understanding and supportive friend means so much. Show a kid who is being bullied that you care about them.
Stand Up To The Bully
If you feel safe and comfortable, tell the bully that what they are doing is mean and wrong. It's not cool and they should stop. Keep it simple. Do not bully them back. If you are not comfortable standing up to the bully, tell an adult.
For Adults
Stop and listen to the child who has been bullied and take all complaints of any type of bullying seriously. Being responsive is key to help you take the appropriate steps you'll need to help.
It doesn't matter how you have been touched or impacted by bullying … the important thing is that you can do something to change your school, playground or neighborhood environment.
If you represent a media outlet wishing to run our public service announcements in your region, please contact us. If you are a teacher, guidance counselor or school administrator please contact us for four free posters. We ask that you pay for S/H.
You may also visit our Adults Page and check out our Tip Sheets which offer information and best practices to support kids who have been bullied, as well as reducing and preventing bad and aggressive behaviors.
Bullying is a serious issue that needs to be stopped. Get involved and STOMP OUT BULLYING today!

Such Basic
Now the great thing about learning coding with Construct, is that you're not really. You are, but you're not at the same time. In a pervious post I mentioned how game making programs like Game Maker, Game Salad, MMF2, and Construct 2 support this kind of psuedo-code. In Construct 2 these are called events.
^this is what they look like
The usefulness of this pseudocode is to condense the functionality of actual code into small bite sized re-arrange-able puzzle pieces. This makes the function and logic of basic computer languages much more accessible to a wider audience. It's like Duplo for programmers.
And while this looks approachable and easy as pie (and it is), but it's not really. This is a simplified translation of computer language for human peoples, but that doesn't change the fact that pseudocode is still a computer language and structured in computer logic. Which means their will be times you think you have everything set up correctly but while testing out your double jump your character floats off into the nether. Computers are like little evil minions, they'll do what you tell them to.. exactly what you tell them to, without understanding the context of what you mean by it even if you think it's perfectly simple English.
I know this sounds really obvious, maybe even patronizing, but if you're just starting out with Construct or any game making program, or you've been toying with it for a bit but still are having weird glitches where you don't know what's wrong with your code, please read the manual. (here is C2's) I'd love to say, "I can't tell you how many times I was close to finishing a project and going back to the manual saved my game." but I can't because I'm one of those stupidly stubborn learners.
I want to be able to watch someone do something, try it myself, then look at my finished product in comparison to someone doing something harder. I want to learn by my mistakes that way, to learn through hands on exploration and observation. When I got my lego sets I'd skim the instructions but always try to finish the set by using the cover and what I already understood of building. As you can imagine I'd often make small mistakes and end up having to go back and rebuild some big thing because I used some wrong brick someplace and be one square off. Bit of an awkward simile but the issue is the same, if trying to skip steps you won't really be able to manipulate the tool the way you'll need too to. I just can't stress this enough. It's not saying you won't figure out all the small stuff inevitably through other user tutorials or asking these people, but typically it'll be something basic that is in the manual if you give the manual some love.
Trying to make a small indie game title without really studying up on the tool you using is like trying to self publish a short story you wrote without really learning grammar. It's likely to not pan out for you, and if it does it would have gone so much better if you had just taken the time to sit down and do your studying. I know it's one of the tedious parts and you just want to be making your game, but I promise you the reward is by far worth the effort. You know that great first moment when you got it to make stuff move onscreen, when you got the enemy AI to respond the way you wanted, or the animations were synced with the differing inputs correctly for the first time and the small blurs onscreen just popped to life? That will be so much rewarding if you are confident in knowing how all of those small things worked out. And secondly learning the how is not really even the tedious part, the tedious part is when you have a working demo, a well polished engine and intro level.. and then realize you have to develop the entire rest of the game. All those levels and those extra inputs and balancing the enemies and complexity curve, and plot exposition. And even more tedious after that is the 97% completed -I'm-sick-of-this-project-now- final bug fixing and edits before sending your little creature out into the world. But that's for another time. First learn your program and build that sweet sweet engine. Play test frequently and never give up. Good luck with your projects and have a good afternoon fokes.

The birthday girl treated her guests to personalised grey pyjamas and was given bottles of bubbly with her own name on.
Fuelling for the day the right way, she enjoyed avocado on toast with eggs and grilled bacon before having a relaxing bubble bath.
The lads on the trip organised themselves into two teams and had a big game of footy, with Rochelle saying "boys will be boys."
The members club and hotel in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, regularly welcomes famous faces.
Set in 100 acres of countryside it boasts 40 luxury cabins and facilities including a salon, farm shop and stunning outdoor pool.
Last week Rochelle shocked fans as she posed with her lookalike sisters - and they thought like they looked like 'triplets.'
The Saturdays singer sent fans into a frenzy as they couldn't tell her apart from two lookalike sisters Sophie and Lili Piper.
Rochelle stunned her followers as she posted a shot alongside her rarely seen siblings.
Rochelle captioned the snap: "Lil birthday week launch. #rh30."
The mum-of-two looked stunning as she showed off her trim figure in a black and white polka dot dress.
Her sister Lili, in the middle of the photo, looked stylish in black leather shorts, while Sophie showed off her curves in ripped jeans and a plunging black bodysuit.
The TV presenter's fans were in their element.
One said: "Which one even are you?"
Another wrote: You cloned yourself."
A third said: "Your sister looks more like you than you do."
Meanwhile Rochelle has kicked off a busy month of birthday celebrations.
Just days ago she posted a gushing birthday message to Marvin.
Accompanying a snap of the DJ in bed surrounded by presents, she said: " Happy Birthday to our one and only Mr EVERYTHING. I could write a caption longer than Shakespeare but it's simple really. You are the centre of our world and we adore you. "

Match Preview: Premier League (Week 12)
Stoke City shall try to make up for the frustrating draw against Swansea via winning against the relegated Sunderland. As for West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa, their upcoming encounter gives them the opportunity to move farther in the Premier League ranking.
Stoke City vs. Sunderland Preview
Match Date: 23 November 2013 (local time)
Venue: Britannia Stadium
Team Form
Stoke City
A sudden turn of events prevented the Potters from moving upward in the Premier League table. They had the lead but Swansea immediately responded, thus forcing the visitors to settle for a draw.
It was a match of two halves, which went wrong for Mark Hughes. Jonathan Walters and Stephen Ireland both scored their first 2 goals and gave their club an early lead. However, Wilfried Bony and Nathan Dyer's combination responded to the challenge. Dyer delivered the equalizer and Bony scored Swansea's first and last goals. They could have taken the victory if not from a converted penalty coming from Stoke's Charlie Adam.
Although the Potters gained an extra point for the stalemate, it hardly improved their rank. They continue to struggle in the 17th spot and still, face the threat of being relegated. Stoke City have already lost their last 8 matches this season and endure a record of W2-D4-L5.
Sunderland may have been unable to move out of the relegation zone. But defeating the mighty Manchester City in a narrow 1-0 win, was more than enough reason to celebrate.
Philip Bardsley served as the match's hero. His right-footed shot courtesy of Wes Brown's assist, delivered Sunderland's first and winning goal. On the other hand, Manchester City struggled to take the lead or an equalizer, which raised the red flags regarding their poor away performance.
But just like Manchester City, they too, are having a hard time winning in foreign grounds. Six (6) out of their last 7 matches ended in a defeat. Three (3) of them never saw them score a single goal.
Football betting tip: Stoke City 3-1 Sunderland
With Stoke at their best form when playing at home, indeed, they have the best possibility of taking charge of the match and eventually, move to the Premier League's mid table.

West Bromwich Albion vs. Aston Villa Preview
Match Date: 25 November 2013 (local time)
Venue: The Hawthorns
Team Form
West Bromwich Albion
The Baggies have successfully entered the league's top 10 after snatching a 2-2 stalemate against Chelsea.
Despite the controversy, which surrounds the awarded penalty to Eden Hazard, what is more important is West Brom's ranking improvement and that they will be facing Aston Villa with confidence as they play in their own soil. The draw was the 3rd in 6 of West Brom's matches.
The Baggies are pegged as the definite favorite of the match and it does not come as too much of a surprise. They won in 2 of their last 6 encounters against Aston Villa, while the latter has only secured a victory once. If there is one thing that the Baggies should be worried about, this is the possibility of ending in yet another draw.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa's late rally paid off as they kept a clean sheet against Cardiff. The match ended with 2 goals to nil, in their favor.
Due to their recent victory, Aston Villa have moved up to the 11th spot and is just a notch away from entering the top 10. Leandro Bacuna and Libor Kozak delivered the 2 winning goals despite Cardiff's furious attempt to deny the hosts. Other than overcoming the odds, the encounter was also the third time that Aston Villa has kept a clean sheet in their away match and they can use such approach to counter the Baggies when they visit them.
Football betting tip: West Bromwich Albion 2-1 Aston Villa
Scoring opportunities may not come as easy as West Bromwich Albion has imagined. This is despite playing in their own ground. Nevertheless, with effective conversions, they will eventually survive Aston Villa's attacks.

Across the country, more students are graduating high school, but this does not mean they are more prepared for college. In LISD, English courses include less required reading, writing and research due to more "flexible" curriculum.
Students in regular English courses are being cheated out of the education they deserve. AP students vastly outpace them in course rigor, and on-level kids may not be prepared for college under current curriculum. Parents and students should demand rigorous courses that prepare students for college and life after high school.
The Rift
One of the biggest consequences of the watered down curriculum is it broadens the rift between AP and regular students, which hurts on-level college bound kids. Top students are continuing to excel, but the bottom is continuing to decline. We cannot accept that a growing number of kids are not where they need to be.
As AP students continue to read multiple classic novels and write longform essays spanning a number of topics, regular students do not. Students who read passages instead of novels and write a single paragraph instead of full essays miss out on important themes, cultural eras and analytical thinking skills.
Of course AP classes should be faster paced and have more college-level assignments—no one is arguing that—but regular students should not be completely left in the dust because of their class
choice. To prepare for college rigor and difficult assignments, all students should be exposed to challenging material.
Regular students may want easy assignments now, but it is important that we challenge all students.
College Prep District
For quite a while, LISD has been one of the more competitive districts in the country—ranked in the top four percent of all U.S. districts. But due to the recent changes in curriculum, our district's standing as one of the best may fall.
In 2009, English students were required to read multiple core novels and shorter texts, write formal essay drafts and revise them. Today, English classes no longer have any required reading or writing.
To prepare students for college, we must demand rigorous curriculum. In our ever developing world, it is becoming harder and harder to get by without a college education—let alone basic high school skills. It is not enough to read a couple passages or a movie review and write a reflection. We must train our students to be efficient communicators and thinkers.
Even students majoring in STEM will need English skills. As a society, we must stop pretending that reading novels and writing essays only matters to English majors. After graduation, students will need a working understanding of culture and communication. These vital skills are taught through classic literature and critical writing.
Not everyone goes to college
True, not everyone who graduates high school goes on to college. Some prefer to work in industries such as cosmetology or mechanics, and others choose to enlist in the military or simply take a gap year. That does not mean, however, they should not be challenged with classic literature.
At face value, the themes in "The Crucible" or "The Grapes of Wrath" don't seem important outside of school. But, as Americans, these are our shared stories—our history. We understand where we came from and who we are through these masterpieces. To allow teachers to not teach them is to ignore our heritage.
Furthermore, writing persuasive longform essays should not be an activity that a teacher can choose whether or not to do. Every student will grow up one day and have to sell their self to a college, employer or spouse.
Along the same line, we should challenge students to deeply and freely research and present topics they are interested in. Research helps to develop valuable life skills, providing students with the needed perseverance to tackle bigger projects during college or careers.
High school is the time to lay the first block for productive college students, employees and citizens alike. We need to challenge our students, but the problem is that valuable English class time is taken away by SSR, Ted Talks, podcasts and political debates. Individually, these activities are not bad, but they should be supplemental, not foundational.
Reading, Writing and Research
In district curriculum, there should be at least some requirement for deeper work in each of these categories. Merely suggesting what teachers should do is not enough. Kids should not be entertained because we value student choice over the education that everyone deserves. Rarely in life will we be allowed to choose everything we want to do. Life is struggle. Requiring students to adapt to and interact with difficult coursework teaches them to work through adversity.
We must denounce the idea that only AP kids be challenged. Allowing a good portion of students to leave high school without critical English skills is unacceptable. Advanced Placement does not mean advanced opportunity.
LISD must buckle down and challenge all of its students to become productive, hardworking graduates, employees and citizens alike. The job of educators is to leave all students with a lasting positive impact. For if one of us fails because not everyone was pushed to be their best self, then we all fail together.

The Cattlemen's Ball is set for June 1st and 2nd of 2018. What a fantastic opportunity to be part of such a huge benefit that aides in the research for curing cancers.
What an opportunity for the surrounding communities and ourselves to be able to attend such an event, that for some of us will be a once in a lifetime chance!
All the folks that are working behind the scenes to get this off the ground, and keep it working like a well oiled machine, Thank You. The old saying it takes a village to raise a child, well it takes communities, counties, and outside resources to raise The Cattlemen's Ball.
I have never attended an event like this and hope I will be able to in June 2018. The entertainment, food, activities, all will have a lasting effect on those that attend and being a part of helping to raise money for Cancer Research will be the biggest accomplishment felt by all. That is where the pride should come in, not in just it is being held in our community and county, but what the goal is and the good that comes out of this.
