Glasgow Warriors 13 - 28 Scarlets
GUINNESS PRO14 match played at Scotstoun on Friday May 18th 2018 | No comments
Dave Rennie lamented Glasgow's defensive mistakes Glasgow's PRO14 campaign ended after a disappointing display against defending champions Scarlets at Scotstoun this evening.
Three first-half tries from Rhys Patchell, Gareth Davies and Rob Evans gave Scarlets a commanding 21-3 half-time lead, and when Ken Owens crossed for the fourth after the break, the game was done.
Warriors rallied late on with tries from Jonny Gray and Nick Grigg, but those efforts were little more than consolation.
Head coach Dave Rennie was disappointed in the Glasgow performance, but refused to be too critical of his players.
Rennie told BBC Scotland: "I don't doubt the guys' efforts. They're a great bunch of men and they worked hard. We just weren't sharp or clinical enough.
"Scarlets scored from three line-breaks - we had four and didn't score from any of them.
"We had a lot of good moments but not for long enough, it's so disappointing."
While satisfied with the commitment of his players, Rennie lamented the defensive mistakes that allowed Scarlets in for some easy scores.
"We've got systems defensively but they don't count for much if individuals fall off tackles," the Kiwi said. "As a group we lacked real line-speed."
Warriors suffered a blow shortly before kick-off when Scotland full-back Stuart Hogg was ruled out through illness and was replaced by Ruaridh Jackson, but Rennie refused to use that as an excuse for his side's sub-standard display.
"Ruaridh Jackson has been outstanding for us this year," Rennie continued. "Hoggy is obviously a world class player but we had some pretty able replacements and there's no excuses here."
The former Chiefs coach says he has enjoyed his first campaign in charge at Scotstoun, and believes his squad is well-equipped to come back and challenge next season.
"They're a great bunch of boys who are determined to get better. We've set a foundation now so we can build on that in a few months time when the boys come back in."
It was Finn Russell's last match for Glasgow before departing to join French side Racing 92.
"It's not the way I wanted to go out, but that's sport," Russell said.
"The highs and the lows, but for me the last six years has been a high. I'm looking forward to continuing that over in France. Not the way I want to exit but it's been an amazing six years for me and I'll take so many amazing memories from the club."
Russell, while keen to emphasise the quality of Scarlets' display, believes much of the damage was self-inflicted.
"It was a disappointing result for us tonight," the Scotland fly-half said. "That's knockout footy I suppose.
"We had a lot of chances, a lot of pressure but just never turned it into points first-half. They made three breaks from simple missed tackles and they finished them off.
"It was a simple 21 points they got in comparison to the three points we had to work really hard to get. Frustrating.
"We just weren't clinical enough tonight. The last few weeks we've been like that. We've missed opportunities and not finished teams off, apply pressure and get the points from it. That's not just in this game, it's been the last few weeks.
"We finished 15 points behind. A couple of things might have gone our way with the referee, a few calls there that didn't go our way to say the least."
Captain Ryan Wilson was frustrated he and his team-mates were unable to send Russell and other players leaving the club off on a happier note.
"It's a bitter pill to swallow," Wilson said. "We wanted to send plenty of the boys off on a better night.
"There's some brilliant club men that are finishing careers. We also had 10,000 fans out here cheering us on. We need to take a good long look at ourselves.
"All these losses - I remember Leinster a couple of years ago - these losses are what got us to that final and we won it [in 2015], so make sure we learn from it.
Centre Grigg admitted he was one of those guilty of costly errors after his weak tackle allowed Patchell in for the opening try. He was also sent to the sin-bin after the break before coming back on to register a late score.
"From the get-go we made silly mistakes," Grigg explained. "That was the theme of the game; discipline let us down.
"I made a couple of mistakes myself. The second half was a bit better, we came back into it and I felt like we had the momentum, but we just couldn't pull it back. You can't give away a first half like that and expect to magically pull it out of the bag.
"That was the first time I've ever been yellow card, and it was by accident. He was harsh on the penalties and it cost us.
"I've enjoyed every moment until this moment. The season itself was amazing. Dave [Rennie] has really brought a passion into playing even faster rugby to the club. I've really enjoyed the season and I can't wait to have a couple more."

Much thanks to Parleion for his work on a signature for me:
"I'm a graphic designer/photographer by trade and would be glad to give a go at what you're looking for. That and I always enjoy working for ISK. If you've got any pixel height width requirements or basic ideas to play off of, awesome, if not, I can come up with a few concepts.
I absolutely love reading what you write, and, as an MH (or now WTF I guess) pet, getting to see things from the other team's perspective. More often than not, it gets me trying to buck the leadership to go a bit more on the offensive, whether they listen or not.
I look forward to hearing from you and reading more of what you've got to say."
He also would like you to know he is open for business, banners running approximately 100 mil. Just contact him in game.
I also have DarthDeaconRage of Gentleman's Club putting something together... should be interesting.
That is all.

Solomon Airlines & SIVB join forces to stage major Australian tourism push
Posted on May 04, 2015 at 04:47 PM in Solomon Islands Tourism
Solomon Airlines and the Solomon Islands Visitors Bureau have combined resources to stage what represents one of the biggest Solomon Islands tourism promotions ever staged in Australia.
Intended to play a two edge role in promoting both the national carrier's soon to commence Sydney-Honiara direct service and also encouraging Australians to holiday in the Solomon Islands, a six-week campaign combining print, radio and online media kick off this week.
The target audience for the media campaign is 4.5 million Sydneysiders and a further close on 700,000 people residing in the nearby southern satellite city of Wollongong, the Blue Mountains to the west of Sydney and the Central Coast to the north.
An estimated 200,000 motorists are also expected to hear the promotion every day on their car radios while commuting from Wollongong, the Central Coast and the Blue Mountains during the campaign.
The radio campaign also offers listeners the opportunity to win one of 10 Solomon Island holidays for two while the print media advertising – plus a giant billboard located at Sydney domestic airport – will promote special holiday packages.
Target newspaper vehicle for the event is the Fairfax 'Sun-Herald' which has an estimated readership in excess of 760,000 every Sunday.
The airline and national tourist office are adding the further profile to the promotion via a series of top level media, travel industry and consumer events taking place in Sydney, Parramatta, Wollongong, and Gosford.
Highlights of each event will be performances given by the Hageulu Panpipers from Isabel Province.
The group will also perform on Sydney's famous Circular Quay in front of the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge as well as at one of the biggest shopping malls in Sydney, Westfield Parramatta, which attracts some 800,000 shoppers on a weekly basis.

Jaha Koo: Cuckoo
A journey through the last 20 years of Korean history told by a bunch of talkative rice cookers.
One day when his electric rice cooker informed him that his meal was ready, Jaha Koo experienced a deep sense of isolation. 'Golibmuwon' (고립무원) is an untranslatable Korean word expressing the feeling of helpless isolation that characterises the lives of many young people in Korea today.
Twenty years ago there was a major economic crisis in South-Korea, comparable to the financial crash in the United States and Southern Europe in 2008. This crisis had a huge impact on the young generation to which South Korean artist Jaha Koo belongs. He witnessed many endemic problems including youth unemployment and socio-economic inequality. Rising suicide rates, isolation, acute social withdrawal and a fixation on personal appearance are but a few of the symptoms.
In bittersweet and humorous dialogues, Jaha and his clever rice cookers take you on a journey through the last 20 years of Korean history, combining personal experience with political events and reflections on happiness, economic crises and death.

*checks watch* It was that time a few hours ago. Okay, so more than a few hours ago. Okay, so I'm late. Again. You wouldn't believe the day I've had.
As an aside, any day everybody in the house survives until bedtime is a GOOD day. I'm just putting that out there. I mean, it's not like I was trying to write this post earlier with two toddlers demanding my undivided attention. Each, not together.
Anyway. To more writerly-important things: to the War of Art!
Last week I talked a bit about going pro, and how important that is. (speaking of- *pulls out To Do list, writes "go pro") Book Three of Mr. Pressfield's manifesto is … esoteric. There's the distinct sense he's writing to those who've already spent time in pursuit of their craft. It's also a bit more mystical than I'm personally comfortable with. Mr. Pressfield subtitles Book Three, The Higher Realm, and it's the most abstract of the three sections, though not by an enormous margin. In what is functionally the preface to Bk.3, he tells the reader he'll be "writing about those invisible psychic forces that support and sustain us in our journey," and about "angels and muses." My read is he's speaking literally, though he gives us his permission "to think of angels in the abstract." I don't throw any stones, as I know too many good writers who come down on both sides of that particular argument. Me? I wish I had a muse. I got a lump of probably slimy greyish-pink between my ears, and however that interacts with my personality. That's what I know: the rest is Someone Else's problem. I just wish Himself was a better writer'n me. *glares in sinner*
I get the feeling that a closer reread of Book Three is going to reveal it as the most challenging of the three sections. Intuitively, that's how it should work, but recent life has been … distracting in the kind of way that results in short nights, poor diet, and wrestling with the black dog. Poor, neglected art comes far behind keeping the kids alive, and the wife on duty. In a similar manner, my expec- Y'know, that's the cur talking. I'm not confident enough to lay out concrete goals. Not today, but it's a near future requirement. Check back here sometime in the not-too-distant future.
Back to the War of Art (again). I'm still digging through Book Three. There's a lot of meat, there, but I'm not sure which cuts I'll be chewing on, and which I'll leave on the platter for someone else. While I appreciate Mr. Pressfield's discussion of Homer's prayer at the beginning of the Odyssey, at least in the abstract, I'm uncomfortable dealing with that particular crowd on a personal basis. On the other hand, it stirs interesting questions about ritual, upon which I've previously touched with fumbling fingers. He brings in the concepts of self and ego, fear, authenticity, and territory and hierarchy. He spends most of the rest of the book discussing the last two, juxtaposing them. The artist should think, and therefore live, territorially. Attempting to fit himself into a hierarchical association will only lead to inauthenticity and hackdom. I'm going to dig into this for next week. For now, go write something.

Making sure you stay healthy means more than just eating fruits and vegetables and getting daily exercise; it also means staying on top of bodily conditions to make sure nothing gets out of hand or goes unnoticed. This is why it's important to learn how to recognize when something is wrong in your body and take the proper steps to treat that problem.
Osteoma isn't the most common health problem, but it's definitely something you should know about. An osteoma is a tumor made of bone that grows on top of another piece of bone. For the most part, these tumors are benign (not malignant) and don't require any treatment. However, having an extra chunk of bone can interfere with some bodily functions, so it's important to have your osteoma checked out and treated if necessary.
How to Diagnose Osteoma?
Because osteomas are benign and somewhat rare, they can be fairly difficult to diagnose without the help of a medical professional. In fact, you may not figure out that you have an osteoma unless you physically feel it because they are known to cause no symptoms. That's not to say they can't cause problems; an osteoma can lead to headaches, sinus infections, and even problems with your hearing or vision. If you notice any of these symptoms and feel an osteoma somewhere on your head or neck, you should have a doctor examine you to make sure you don't need treatment.
Here are some basic facts about diagnosing and treating osteomas to help you decide the best course of action for your circumstances.
What Is Osteoma?
Normally, your bones grow in a very standard pattern that gives your body the "normal" look that most people have. However, sometimes your bones don't grow the right way. This can happen for numerous reasons, but bone tumors are a result of your bone cells dividing in a way that they shouldn't. When bone cells divide, a new chunk of bone grows on top of another piece of bone and creates a tumor.
Bone Tumor
Osteoma is the type of bone tumor that results from the splitting of cells. These tumors usually occur in the head or neck, although other parts of the body such as the leg can be affected as well. Osteoma tumors are almost always benign and occur somewhat frequently in people in their early 20s.
Although osteoma itself is not usually a condition that requires treatment, it's important to visit the doctor to have your osteoma examined for two reasons. First, an osteoma can lead to some health problems if it's in a bad spot. Second, there are numerous different types of bone tumors, some of which are commonly benign and some of which can be a sign of bone cancer. Since early detection plays such a large role in successfully treating cancer, it's important to have your osteoma checked out as soon as possible to rule out something more serious, like bone cancer.
Osteoma Symptoms
The majority of patients who have an osteoma tumor don't actually have any symptoms. In fact, most people find out they have an osteoma simply from feeling the actual bump on a bone in their neck or head. That is why you can have an osteoma for quite some time without even knowing it.
If you do have any symptoms in conjunction with your osteoma, it is probably one of a couple of fairly common conditions. You may form some sort of deformity because of how the osteoma affects the bone it's growing off of, whether it be a broken bone or a bowing in your legs. You may also experience swelling in the area due to irritation caused by the osteoma, which usually comes with a significant amount of pain. In fact, pain is the symptom you're most likely to feel with an osteoma because the additional bone can cause irritation. At first, your pain may be mild and easily relieved with medication, but once it's accompanied by swelling it usually causes significantly more pain.
Other Symptoms
Other symptoms of an osteoma include limping, muscle atrophy, changes in bone growth. And pains that become much worse at nighttime.
Patients experiencing any of these symptoms, especially if they are severe and affecting day-to-day life, may consider having surgery. This is to treat the osteoma if over-the-counter medications aren't helping.
Other Types of Tumors
As previously mentioned, there are numerous types of bone tumors that can sometimes mimic the symptoms of osteoma. Because of this, it's important to understand what you're looking for so you can watch out for serious tumors. Here are some of the different types of tumors and how you can distinguish between them. And what you can do to treat them.
Osteochondroma is near the top of the list for common benign bone tumors. These benign tumors are generally found in people under the age of 20 and don't typically cause too many problems. An osteochondroma can cause some symptoms. Including pain with activity, numbness or tingling, and changes in blood flow in the affected area.
Giant cell tumors are most common in adults between the ages of 20 and 40 and are also benign. These tumors can, however, cause joint pain and swelling in the distressed area. Also, difficulty moving the affected joint, a lump where the tumor is, and in the most severe cases, a broken bone.
Other types of benign tumors commonly found in patients include osteoblastoma. This is a tumor found in young adults, commonly on the spine. And enchondroma (a tumor most commonly found in the hands or feet).
For the most part, bone cancer is the result of cancer from another part of the body. And spreading to the bones as it progresses past a certain point. However, there are some cases where cancer actually starts in the bone. These cancers are referred to as bone sarcoma and can be broken down into a few main types.
Osteosarcoma is usually found in the knee or upper arm of young adult patients. It may be found in older adults as well. But generally only if they have Paget's disease. Ewing's sarcoma is another type commonly found in younger children. Most frequently affecting people between 5 and 20 years of age. While typically found in the bone, Ewing's sarcoma can start in the soft tissue immediately surrounding the bone. Chondrosarcoma is the most common form of bone cancer in older patients. This is with most chondrosarcoma patients falling between the ages of 40 and 70. While the sarcoma can remain somewhat hidden, it most often presents itself in the same way as osteoma. Causing a dull, achy pain in the area of the tumor that may become more severe and wake you at night. Also, the pain often gets worse when you use the affected joint or bone.
Seeking Medical Attention
If you have a lump on one of your bones, your first course of action should be paying a visit to the doctor. While these lumps are often a simple benign tumor, they can be a sign of something much more severe. Especially if you aren't experiencing pain or any other symptoms. If your bone tumor is diagnosed as bone cancer, detecting it early could mean the difference between life and death.
Because benign tumors like osteoma often come with no symptoms and aren't much of a serious threat. You may decide not to visit the doctor at all. This is completely up to you. However, if you start to feel any of the symptoms of bone cancer combined with your bone tumor, you should see a doctor right away to rule out a more serious cause like bone cancer. A doctor can perform a physical exam. Also, do blood work, and even use imaging tests to get a good look at your tumor. If he or she has reason to believe it's something more serious, a biopsy may be performed. Your doctor will take a small sample of the tumor to test it for cancer as a final confirmation.
You should also seek medical treatment for your osteoma if it's causing you pain. While a benign bone tumor isn't a serious condition on its own, it needs to be addressed if it's causing a sinus infection or massive headaches. Or if you simply can't fall asleep or stay asleep at night because of the pain it's causing you. Your doctor can help prescribe a course of treatment that will help you manage your symptoms. If your osteoma becomes too serious and is affecting your quality of life, surgery may be an option.
The most important thing is that you keep an eye on any strange lumps you notice. Especially those that are made of bone. This could be a sign that you have a simple problem like osteoma that won't manifest into anything larger. But it's important to rule out other possible causes. If you do need to seek medical treatment for your osteoma, make sure you understand your various treatment options and what you can do to keep osteoma in check. The better you treat your body, the better your doctor can help you.

Smoant Pasito AIO Starter Kit
Recommended products with your purchase:
Smoant Pasito AIO Starter Kit Overview
Take your vaping game to a whole new level with the Smoant Pasito All-in-One (AIO) Starter Kit. This revolutionary pod system can be used with three different coil heads and integrates five adjustable voltages for a custom vaping experience that meets your needs. At 18 x 38 x 102mm, this device is smaller and slightly thicker than a smartphone to fit perfectly in your pocket. The Smoant Pasito also introduces innovative CPR technology for the resin panels along the sides of the device, giving it a sleek, vibrant finish without picking up any fingerprints. The CPR technology is lined with an aluminum frame for a superior lightweight feel.
The Pasito runs on a built-in 1100mAh rechargeable battery via a Type-C charging cable and has an e-juice tank capacity of 3mL, so you can vape carefree all day long. When the battery is low, your Pasito still delivers incredible flavor thanks to the Ant constant-output chip installed in the mod. At the top of the device, you find a replaceable, colorful resin drip tip as well as an adjustable airflow switch. To close and open airflow, move the switch slowly until you achieve the desired hit. Along the chassis of the Pasito is the battery charging connection and two buttons, one at the top which is the firing and power button, and the other which controls the wattage. To check the battery life, press the top button, and to adjust the wattage, press the lower button. As you click the wattage button, it will increase from 10 to 13, 15, 20, and 25W, and the LED lights on the front of the device will show which setting is active.
The Smoant Pasito uses three types of coils to suit your vaping needs. Included in the kit is a mouth-to-lung (MTL) Ni80 1.4 ohm coil head rated for use at 10-13W along with a direct lung (DTL) Mesh 0.6 ohm coil head recommended for use between 20-25W. The third coil head is sold separately as a rebuildable atomizer (RBA) suitable for an ordinary coil diameter of 1.0mm or less, which you can install yourself. The RBA coil head option makes the Smoant Pasito stand out from other pod systems on the market. When you're ready to fill, simply remove the gold base of the tank and screw in your coil head of choice. Then push the coil back into the tank, unscrew the entire drip tip section, and begin filling along the side of the fill port, not the center of the central airflow tube.\
With a 3mL e-juice capacity and a lightweight aluminum structure combined with CPR technology, the Smoant Pasito is the perfect choice for those looking for an RBA friendly pod system. The variable wattage and coil head options make the Smoant Pasito AIO Starter Kit stand tall as a strong competitor for both MTL as well as DTL vaping.

This is at it's core a Reptilian update, but there is a ton of other stuff thrown in as well. First off, and the reason for the delayed rollout, is I have taken the game-streaming option out of the core My Colony code, and transferred it to the "Web App Core" wrapper, which is the in-house wrapper I created to be able to port my games to all platforms easily. This changes the behavior by streaming your gameplay straight to your profile on the Ape Apps website, instead of to my-colony.com. I will be updating my-colony.com shortly though that will embed the stream in the same place it used to be, so for the most part it should still look the same.
I made this change for long-term planning, so that I can add streaming capabilities to my other games. The stream viewer on ape-apps.com is improved from what was available on the My Colony website. It now shows how many people are watching and lets you record the stream. It has other capabilities as well that aren't worth mentioning here, but will be implemented in other games in the future. To access your livestream page, go to your profile here on Ape Apps and click on the little video camera button on the left sidebar.
To go along with this change, the in-game streaming interface has been updated, with a new livestream control bar now appearing when you have streaming turned on.
This bar shows you how many people are watching the stream, and lets you turn either microphone or webcam on or off (previously, webcam wasn't even supported). Streaming is currently supported on Chrome, the new version of Edge, on the Desktop version, the Ape Apps Launcher, and on Android. I can't get it working right yet on iOS or Windows Store.
Moving on. Last update was the big Zolarg release, but I had accidentally forgot to make the dazzling hot-pink Etherbug buildable. This is now fixed, and you can now create the Etherbug on your Zolarg maps. Sorry about that!
A lot of people had complained about the massive gold cost on the Zolarg Unholy Pit and Unholy Tower of Stuff. I have reduced theses costs in this update to make them more reasonable. In addition, these two structures have gained storage capabilities for Charcoal, Oil, and Software.
In addition, the Zolarg Customs Processing building can now import and export Diamonds and Software.
I have made a small change to the in-game encyclopedia. Before, under each category (buildings, vehicles, etc) it said Everything you need to know... Now, it shows the number of items that are in each category (number of buildings, vehicles, etc).
I have loosened the building requirements for the Reptilian Brewmasters Den, as it was too difficult to build at the beginning, and is an essential building. I removed Helium-3 and Crystalline from the build requirements. In addition, the building now uses Ant Paste during production, instead of Helium 3.
The Powered Materials Silo has gained Software Storage, and also now acts as a drop-off point for Diamond harvesting.
I don't know if anybody had noticed, but I had inadvertently allowed Ether importing from the Reptilian Medium Range Star Gate. This has been removed. In exchange, this structure can now export Fish and Salt Water.
Speaking of Fish and Salt Water, they have both been added to the Galactic Board of Trade, and will eventually be used in other non-Water World processes. They are the two map-specific resources for the Water World.
While we are on the subject of resources, a brand new one was added to the game this update, Cobalt. Cobalt is a super-rare, because 1) it's only available on the dreaded Lava World, and 2) it only appears after a volcanic eruption.
Why Cobalt? Well, originally Obsidian was going to be the map-exclusive resource for Lava World, but I forgot and ended up adding it to everything, so that wasn't going to work. So now we have Cobalt. It's all good. Anyway, right now only the Reptilians can harvest it, but other civs will be able to after v1.0. It will be coming to the GBT on the next update as well, and will be used for new super-high-end structures on all civs. Being tied to the Lava World, I suspect it will command a pretty good price on the GBT once trading opens up.
Moving on. Since probably v0.1.0 of My Colony way back in 2016, people have been requesting to be able to move buildings once built. I haven't counted, but it's probably the top request in the game, or a close second to Mass Transit. I understand why it's been wanted. Most My Colony players are on Android, and most mobile builder games allow you to move structures. Of course, most mobile builder games are also IAP filled "diamond" (or gems or special coins) festivals that nickel and dime players by making buildings take 5 days to build unless you pay real money. My Colony isn't like that, and I never thought a move building option was realistic enough for the game, but nonetheless people still request it all the time, so for this update, I have now added an option to move buildings, with caveats.
You can now move any structure in the game, unless it is a harvest drop-off location or has it's own move function, like the Lander, Queen/Mound, or the deployed Construction Mech.
I do want to give people the option to configure and organize their base as they see fit, and I understand that as a colony grows from a small settlement to a major city, you might want to rethink the way you placed buildings at the beginning, so that is why I am allowing the move option. The reason I do not allow it on harvest drop-off spots though, should be obvious. I'm not going to let players just, for example, keep moving their Ore Refinery right next to the Ore every time a deposit is dried up. That would be lame.
Next, I have made an interface change to the mobile version of the game. Now when you are building a structure on mobile, you get the same (well, a minified) "new construction" bar that desktop players have.
This makes it easy to see what you are building will cost, and to flip structures before placing them.
So now let's talk about the meat of the update, the new Reptilian content. There are two new vehicles, the Diamond Extractor and the Cobalt Extractor (I think you can figure out what each does), and 19 new buildings, which I will list below and then talk about some of them in detail afterwards.
- Galactic Star Gate
- Radiated Crystal Farm
- Advanced Materials Silo
- Subterranean Slum
- Raw Fish Diner
- Deep Sea Drilling Platform
- Coral Radiator
- Offshore Slum
- Dracarus Mint
- Turbo Microreactor
- Diamond Cobalt Microreactor
- Basic Crystal Furnace
- Suppertime Arena
- Primitive Robotics Lab
- Advanced Chip Transporter
- Automated Software Node
- Antanium Radiator
- Ultra High Frequency Node
- Near-Infinite Materials Silo
Reptilians also get a couple of new housing units, both slums (of course). The Subterranean Slum is a high-density building for all maps, and the Offshore Slum is a way to gain more space on the traditionally space-limited Water World islands.
I added a couple of new Tourism related structures for Reptilians, in the form of the new Raw Fish Diner and the Audrey II inspired Suppertime Arena, where Reptilians and tourists alike can watch an evil plant eat Insectoids.
There are new much-needed upgrades to Reptilian Storage, Power generation, increased import/export capacity, Microchip production, Software production, and Bandwidth generation. Reptilians also gain the ability to build robots with the new Primitive Robotics Lab, and the ability to build Triantanium with the Antanium Radiator.
All in all, this is a fairly large update that adds some nice QOL improvements to the game, and adds much needed content and improvements to the Reptilian race (a bit for Zolarg too).
Now, to talk a bit about the future. If you missed it, I published a new episode of the My Colony Podcast last night about the coming end of beta for My Colony. v0.99.0 is in fact the 99th feature release of My Colony (which was originally published on May 16, 2016), which will make the next update the 100th feature update of My Colony, in which it will finally be bumped up to v1.0.0.
Now to me it's just a number, but since 100 of anything is generally seen as special, I think something special should happen for the next update to the game. To help kick off the v1.0.0 release, I would like to do another classic episode of the My Colony Podcast with a community group voice chat, the way the old episodes were done a couple of years ago. I would like to host the episode on one of the federation Discord channels, possibly the NOZ channel if they will allow it, and have anybody and everybody from the community be able to participate if they want to. We will just be talking about the growth and changes of the game over the last few years and bumping suggestions and ideas off of each other for the coming updates. You can also ask me anything you want about My Colony or otherwise. I think it will be a fun episode for everybody, and I hope a lot of people participate. I just need to nail down a location, time, date, and re-figure out how to record the thing. So be looking out for more information about that.
As for the update itself, I plan on adding something of an online leader-board to the game, featuring multiple in-game challenges and awards that people can participate in if they choose to. It will be optional, so you can still play as normal without doing the leader-boards, but the purpose is to have something to do in the game after you have a million people in your colony and all buildings unlocked, but it's also going to be set up in a tiered way so that new players can also participate. I still have some things to work out with it, and so you have some time to make suggestions in the forum if you want your ideas implemented!
As for a timeframe, the next release is going to take longer than normal. I go over the reasons in the latest podcast, but basically we have Thanksgiving in the U.S. coming up soon with holiday travels, and I also need to take some time away from My Colony to get work done on my other projects before the holiday season, since December is the biggest month of the year for the app business, and with my schedule I am going to be pressed for time to get much work done later in this month. So I would shoot for early-mid December for the v1.0.0 release, although there might be a couple of platform-specific bug patches between now and then, should the need arise.
Further out, v1.1.0 and v1.2.0 will probably be performance tweak related updates, since I am getting a lot of requests for those, particularly on the Android side of things, so I will have to try to see if I can squeeze more juice out of the engine. So they will still have new content, but not like 10-20+ new items like the last few updates have had. After that, I want to add crime and law enforcement to the game, and even further out, I want to add the ability to have a map with an AI controlled faction, as I want to add a new map type that is inhabited with primitive ewok-type creatures that you have to either coexist with or... something else. So stay tuned for that...
Anyway, that's all for v0.99.0. I hope you guys enjoyed it, let me know if you did (or didn't)! Like I said at the beginning, the roll-out will take several days here, but it's live and final on the Web now. Launcher will probably be next, then Steam, then Android, then Windows, and lastly iOS. I expect to have it published to all stores by Wednesday, so stay tuned!

It is not unusual for people to have rituals when flying on a plane, like wearing a St Christopher chain or keeping their eyes closed until they take off.
This picture of an Orthodox Jewish man tied up in a plastic bag on an airplane is causing debate online. The Reddit user who posted the image assumed the man was covering up because women were sitting near him, however others are contesting that its more likely he's a "kohen," a holy priest who is prohibited from approaching a dead body including flying over cemeteries miles below while not in a plastic bag.
Since it's all conjecture at this point anyway, we think maybe he just forgot to take his Airborne tablet

Two ways to read the story
- Quick Read
- Deep Read ( 5 Min. )
The well-rehearsed cycle of mass shootings in America, followed by calls for gun control and ultimately stalemate in Congress, may be all that unfolds in the wake of last weekend's massacres in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
But conditions exist for an alternate scenario to play out.
A growing number of congressional Republicans are speaking out for reform, and bipartisan alliances in the Senate are working on proposals. President Donald Trump, an ally of gun rights advocates, has also voiced support for certain gun measures. And the National Rifle Association, while still powerful, is facing internal challenges.
Polls show overwhelming public support – including among Republicans – for expanded background checks and so-called red flag provisions that would restrict access to firearms when people are deemed dangerous. For Mr. Trump, there's also a political incentive: He could benefit by signing a measure that would play well in suburban battlegrounds.
"The White House is desperate for bipartisan victories," says former GOP Rep. Carlos Curbelo of Florida. "The president has the strong support of his base – and that's it. If he gets a mainstream Democratic opponent, that won't bode well for him. This is an opportunity."
The cycle of mass shootings in America, followed by calls for gun reform and ultimately stalemate in Congress, is well-rehearsed. And chances are, that cycle will repeat in the wake of last weekend's back-to-back massacres in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
But the conditions exist for an alternate scenario to play out.
A growing number of congressional Republicans are speaking out for reform, and multiple bipartisan alliances in the Senate are working on proposals. President Donald Trump, an ally of gun rights advocates, has also voiced support for certain gun measures since the latest shootings. And the National Rifle Association (NRA), while still powerful, is facing internal turmoil and financial challenges.
Furthermore, polls show overwhelming public support – including among Republicans – for certain gun measures, such as expanded background checks and so-called red flag provisions that would restrict access to firearms when people are deemed dangerous. For Mr. Trump, there's also a political incentive: He likes to be seen tackling problems, and could benefit by signing a measure that would play well in suburban battlegrounds.
In short, it could be a "Nixon in China" moment – a reference to how the 37th president was politically able to visit China only by first establishing his bona fides as anti-communist.
The potential for Mr. Trump to have such a moment on guns is "absolutely" there, says Ryan Clancy, chief strategist for the centrist group No Labels. "He has credibility among people who support gun rights that a Democratic president might not have. The big question is, will he follow through?"
Former Rep. Carlos Curbelo of Florida, a moderate Republican, also sees the potential for action on guns.
"Politically, the White House is desperate for bipartisan victories," says Mr. Curbelo. "It's obvious from polling throughout the country that the president has the strong support of his base – and that's it. If he gets a mainstream Democratic opponent, that won't bode well for him. This is an opportunity."
In the past, Mr. Trump has often seemed amenable to gun reform, Mr. Curbelo adds. "He has expressed it in the past – only to allow the NRA to veto him," he says. "This time can be different. It's his choice to do the right thing or to cave to a segment of his political base."
Yet some observers push back on the idea that Mr. Trump can rest easy with his supporters on the gun issue, even now. The president didn't come into politics as a vocal supporter of gun rights, and he has a complicated relationship with guns.
"He was never pro-gun before he was president," says Richard Feldman, a former NRA lobbyist and president of the Independent Firearm Owners Association.
In one way, Mr. Trump is at odds with a key portion of his pro-gun base – hunters.
"I'm not a hunter and don't approve of killing animals," Mr. Trump tweeted in 2012. "I strongly disagree with my sons who are hunters."
He has repeated that sentiment since becoming president. Yet Mr. Trump has owned handguns. In 2012, the future president acknowledged in an interview with The Washington Times that he had a concealed-carry permit and owned guns.
It's not clear if he still owns guns; the White House does not discuss this. Chris Ruddy, CEO of the conservative Newsmax Media and a longtime friend of Mr. Trump, says that he was never aware of him carrying a gun, pre-presidency, nor has Mr. Trump ever shown him a gun that he owned.
"President Trump has a more nuanced view on the gun issue than most people believe," Mr. Ruddy tells the Monitor. "Before he was running for office, he was typical of many people in New York that didn't like the idea of a complete, unrestricted ownership of guns."
But "over time," Mr. Ruddy adds, "he's gotten closer to that issue and been an advocate for Second Amendment issues."
As for the NRA, Mr. Feldman doesn't believe the gun organization would ever "unendorse" him.
"Can he push the NRA around? A little bit," he says, noting that the Trump administration eventually enacted a ban on bump stocks despite pushback from the NRA.
Such devices, which make semi-automatic weapons fire continuously, were used by the shooter in the October 2017 massacre in Las Vegas. After a delay, the Trump administration announced the ban in December 2018, and it went into effect in March.
Still, discussing the diminished clout of the NRA misses the point, says a Republican strategist with ties to the White House. "The NRA's strength doesn't necessarily derive from money," he says. "The gun community is tightknit – and they're single-issue voters."
In Congress, a bipartisan proposal by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., to create a federal grant program that encourages states to adopt red flag laws was seen early in the week as having the most promise. In Mr. Trump's address to the nation Monday morning, it was the one gun measure he mentioned.
But by midweek, the proposal to support red flag laws – which use "extreme risk protection orders" to take firearms away from people ruled by a judge to be dangerous – was facing complications. Democrat Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, declared Wednesday that any red flag legislation must be accompanied by a Democratic House bill requiring universal background checks on gun purchases.
Mr. Trump, for his part, had suggested "marrying" background check legislation with immigration reform in a tweet Monday morning, but dropped the idea in his televised address. On Wednesday morning, he declared to reporters "a great appetite" by both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill for background checks, though by day's end, that did not appear to be the case. He also dismissed the possibility of an assault weapons ban.
Some gun control supporters still see the failure to enact legislation after the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut, massacre – whose toll included 20 first graders – as telling. If that didn't move the needle, the thinking goes, nothing will. But one expert pushes back.
"This whole idea that these children were killed at Sandy Hook [Elementary School] and nothing changed is just wrong," says Kristin Goss, a professor of public policy and political science at Duke University and author of books on gun policy. "A lot changed, but it's changing slowly and largely outside the media spotlight."
Since Newtown, gun control groups have grown in number, membership, and financial clout. "There's just a lot more money, which matters," Ms. Goss says. "We decry all this money in politics, but it's also opened up spaces for the gun violence prevention movement to play a role in electoral politics."
Even the partisan divide on firearms could be helpful to the movement, she says. "That, in a way, creates space for it to become a major campaign issue," she says. "Democrats in particular ... are more likely to make it a marquee issue – to run on it instead of running from it."
But that analysis also suggests no major legislation before the 2020 elections, especially if there's no push for compromise by the three top political players – Mr. Trump, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Republican Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader.
"Particularly leading up to an election, sometimes you'd rather have the issue than the solution," says a veteran Republican congressional aide.
Still, with each massacre, the outcry grows. GOP Rep. Mike Turner, who represents Dayton and whose daughter was close to the shooting, now supports new gun restrictions. Another Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, also raised his voice for the first time, calling for more limits on access to firearms.
Mr. Ruddy, Mr. Trump's friend, sees potential movement by the president on this issue.
"I have to think – and he hasn't talked to me on this – that at some point in the future he will see some pathway for some limitation on semi-automatic weapons being easily available," Mr. Ruddy says. "How that might take form, I don't know. But I do think he might see some limitations and more appropriate background checks."

While talking to our TrueSTUDIO customers, as well as many other Cortex-M developers, it has become clear to me that many developers are not aware of the powerful system analysis and debugging mechanisms available in Cortex-M devices. By better utilizing the capabilities that are already in their possession, embedded developers could easily become a lot more efficient in their debugging efforts.
I touched upon this subject in my earlier blog post on Hard fault system crash analysis on Cortex-M devices, and I will continue with a series of blog posts on real-time event- and data tracing using the Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) debug interface, which is available in Cortex-M cores and hence in popular devices like STM32, Kinetis, LPC or EFM32. This is the first blog post in the article series; several more will come in the next couple of weeks.
With SWV, it is now possible to have greater visibility into the dynamics of complex real-time embedded applications than ever before. This visibility is extremely useful, not only in the increasingly complex applications typically found in today's products, but in applications that cannot be halted for the debugging process
Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) provides real-time event and memory access tracing with little- or no processor overhead while the application executes at full speed. This is made possible by the internal architecture of the devices, and does not require software support such as low priority daemons or monitor code that must linked with the application. The Instrumentation Trace Macro cell (ITM) is a minimally intrusive way to transmit data via one of the 32 ITM ports as the application executes. This for example enables printf() style debugging without a physical UART, USB, Ethernet or other type of communication channel.
I wrote this blog post to give a brief background to the Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) and Instrumentation Trace Macro cell (ITM) technology. It also outlines how advanced debuggers can exploit the SWV and ITM technology to deliver powerful debug capabilities to developers. Many embedded developers continue to use "tried and true" methods of debugging such as blinking LED and printf() outputs. When the ease of use, information content and the cost efficiency of modern debugging technology is considered, I think it is well worth a developer's while to devote the relatively small amount of effort to becoming familiar with these methodologies as the payback in time savings in debugging and testing will be considerable.
Serial Wire Viewer overview
To use system analysis and real-time tracing in compatible ARM processors, a number of different technologies interact; Serial Wire Viewer (SWV), Serial Wire Debug (SWD), Serial Wire Output (SWO) and Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM). Their respective roles will be explained below.
Serial Wire Debug (SWD)
Serial Wire Debug (SWD) is a debug port similar to JTAG, and provides the same debug capabilities (run, stop on breakpoints, single-step) but with fewer pins. It replaces the JTAG connector with a 2-pin interface (one clock pin and one bi-directional data pin). The SWD port itself does not provide for real-time tracing.
Serial Wire Output (SWO)
The Serial Wire Output (SWO) pin can be used in combination with SWD and is used by the processor to emit real-time trace data, thus extending the two SWD pins with a third pin. The combination of the two SWD pins and the SWO pin enables Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) real-time tracing in compatible ARM processors.
Serial Wire Viewer (SWV)
Serial Wire Viewer is a real-time trace technology that uses the Serial Wire Debugger (SWD) port and the Serial Wire Output (SWO) pin. Serial Wire Viewer provides advanced system analysis and real-time tracing without the need to halt the processor to extract certain types of debug information.
Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) can provide the following types of target information:
- Periodic samples of program counter (PC) values
- Event notification on memory accesses (such as reading/writing C variables)
- Event notification on exception entry and exit
- Event counters
- Timestamp and CPU cycle information
Based on this trace data, modern debuggers can provide developers with a wealth of advanced debugger capabilities.
The developer can configure SWV in many different ways, to make it emit various combinations of information, e.g. values of memory locations, exception events, PC values etc. As more types of trace data are enabled for transmission, the more trace packages are needed to be sent from the CPU to the PC debugger. It is possible in certain circumstances that all of the data may not be received by the front end debugging software on the PC.
There are several reasons for this. The target CPU running at full speed can exceed bandwidth on the one-pin SWO output. In addition, trace data makes its way to the SWO via internal buffers which are limited in depth. If the CPU generates more trace packages than the SWO pin can transmit, there will be resulting packet loss. This is normal.
The reason is that Cortex-M microcontrollers are designed to meet aggressive cost targets. The resource limitation is a byproduct of the tradeoff between resources and cost, and is to some extent, "by design". While this imposes minor limitations on what can be done, it is also true that SWV and ITM, used with care, are capable of providing very powerful debug information that in some cases are otherwise unobtainable information without very expensive debug hardware.
Instrumentation Trace Macro cell (ITM)
The Instrumentation Trace Macro cell (ITM) enables applications to write arbitrary data to the SWO pin, which can then be interpreted and visualized in the debugger in various ways. For example, ITM can be used to redirect printf() output to a console view in the debugger.
In my mind, this is highly desirable and useful for several reasons. First, the overhead is very low as a memory location can be transferred in a single clock cycle. Second, there is no requirement for an on-board resource such as a UART or USB connection, as the data is transmitted using the debug probe hardware. Third, the ITM port has 32 channels, and by writing different types of data to different ITM channels, the debugger can interpret or visualize the data on various channels differently.
Since writing a byte to the ITM port only takes one clock cycle, applications can thus keep the ITM trace instrumentation when the product ships. It is then not needed to rebuild and retest a product build with instrumentation removed. Leaving this kind of instrumentation in the shipped code also provides the capability of connecting a debugger to a live system in-the-field for detailed analysis in deployed products.
Limitations of SWV
I have now spent some time highlighting benefits with SWV. But what are the disadvantages of SWV? I think there are mostly two limitations worth mentioning . First, SWV handles event-, data- and software instrumentation trace, but it does not support instruction tracing to record the execution history of each machine code instruction executed. To do that, any of the instruction trace technologies ETM/ETB/MTB must be used on Cortex-M devices. Secondly, the limited bandwidth may result in packet loss if too many trace packages are sent in a short period of time (i.e. the SWV use is "over configured").
On the other hand, very advanced debugger capabilities are enabled by SWV at low extra H/W cost so these are reasonable tradeoffs.
Developers using low-end ECLIPSE IDE's (typically using gcc and gdb GNU tools) will in most cases not be able to use SWV, and this goes for some proprietary IDEs too.
Even though our Atollic TrueSTUDIO IDE is built using Eclipse and GCC/GDB, we fully support SWV tracing (including SWD, SWO and ITM) using proprietary extensions to both the debugger frontend and debugger backend. In terms of JTAG probes, we support SWV tracing using both SEGGER J-Link and ST-LINK from STMicroelectronics.
As this article has been a short introduction to the technologies forming Serial Wire Viewer tracing (SWV, SWD, SWO and ITM), it has mostly provided a technical background, and not touched so much on the actual debugger features enabled by SWV. In the coming blog posts in this article series, I will explain what actual capabilities this provides to Cortex-M developers.
For example, Atollic TrueSTUDIO provides developers with these debugger capabilities built on top of SWV:
- Event trace (log and timeline graph)
- Exception trace (log and timeline graph)
- Exception nesting analysis
- Interrupt statistics graph
- Real-time data and memory watch
- Data trace and memory access history log
- Data trace graph (real-time "oscilloscope plot" visualizations of data)
- Speed performance analysis (statistical profiling graph)
- Execution time measurement
- Printf() output re-directed into debugger console
- Custom ITM trace instrumentation

Single CFTA Based Current-Mode Universal Biquad Filter
This paper introduces a new current-mode (CM) universal biquad filter structure with optimum number of active and passive elements. In the design, the proposed circuit uses a single active element namely, current follower trans-conductance amplifier (CFTA) and two grounded capacitors as passive elements. The main feature of the proposed circuit is that it can realize all five standard filtering functions such as low pass (LP), band pass (BP), high pass (HP), band stop (BS) and all pass (AP) responses across an explicit high impedance output terminal through the appropriate selection of three inputs. In addition, the same circuit is also capable to simultaneously realize three filtering functions (LP, BP and HP) by the use of single current input signal. Moreover, the proposed structure is suited for low voltage, low power operations and offers the feature of electronic tunability of pole-frequency and quality factor. Further to extend the utility of the proposed circuit block higher order current-mode filters are also realized through direct cascading. A detailed non-ideal and parasitic study is also included. The performance of the circuits has been examined using standard 0.25 μ m CMOS parameters from TSMC.

Tim Fuller, USA TODAY Sports/Reuters Kyrie Irving poured in 45 points and the Brooklyn Nets snapped a five-game losing streak by topping the host Detroit Pistons in overtime, 121-111, on Saturday. Irving's output was his highest since scoring 50 points against Minnesota in October during his Nets debut. He added seven assists and six rebounds. Jarrett Allen had 20 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks and Joe Harris tossed in 16 points for Brooklyn. Derrick Rose led Detroit with 27 points and six assists. Rose has 12 consecutive games of 20 points or more, the longest streak of his career. Detroit center Andre Drummond, who missed the previous two games after taking an elbow to the mouth at Washington on Monday, supplied 20 points and 21 rebounds. Svi Mykhailiuk contributed 19 points and Bruce Brown added 17 points with five assists. READ: Mavs complete trade to acquire Cauley-Stein from Warriors Brooklyn scored the first six points of overtime, including four Irving free throws. Harris hit a 3-pointer with 2:40 remaining to make it 115-108. Allen followed with a lob dunk off a pass from Irving that effectively put the game away. Drummond reached a double-double before the first quarter ended. He finished the first half with 14 points and 12 rebounds as the Pistons raced to a 60-50 lead. Irving scored 15 of the Nets' first 17 points in the third quarter. Brooklyn carried an 80-77 lead into the fourth. The Pistons scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter, capped by a Rose three-point play. Irving made a jumper with 3:00 remaining to cut the Pistons' lead to one at 100-99. He tossed in a layup on Brooklyn's next possession for a one-point lead. Allen scored on the fast break with 1:50 left for a three-point advantage. The Pistons came back to tie it with a minute to go at 104-104 on a Langston Galloway layup. A goaltending call against Drummond on a tip try by Wilson Chandler put the Nets back in front. Rose committed a turnover but Irving missed a three and Rose raced down for a layup to tie it again with 1.9 seconds left. Brooklyn didn't get a shot off in time, forcing overtime.

This post has been on my heart to write for months upon months upon months. As I sit down to write it, again and again, I do so with tear-filled eyes and a broken heart.
Five years ago, I was a first grade parent.
I attended fall conferences. I tried, and failed repeatedly, to help my child learn to read. The transition from a half-day of kindergarten to a full-day of first grade was not an easy one. My daughter struggled to connect with her teacher, whose demeanor was just a bit more strict than her sensitive spirit was accustomed to. And though there were only three first grade teachers, it seemed that all of her close friends were in other classes. I worried, as mamas are prone to do.
But my daughter tried hard, and seemed to be catching on to her schoolwork. She was making friends in class, and had a birthday coming up. Christmas was coming, too, along with a break from school. We were looking ahead, with excitement and anticipation. Life was so normal, if not mundane.
At the time, I wasn't one to follow the news too religiously. Slowly, I started to hear snippets of news coming out of a small, picturesque town that I had never heard of. Another school shooting. But at an elementary school? That can't be right. Child victims. All first-graders, whose names and innocent faces slowly started being released to the public. I stared into those school pictures, probably taken only weeks earlier, and saw my own first-grader.
I wept as we celebrated my daughter's seventh birthday the following day. While CNN played on mute in the corner of the nail salon we sat in, the stark difference in these two realities physically pained me. The birthday party and the devastating loss of lives barely started. Joy and anguish. Life and death. I breathed relief that my daughter couldn't read yet and would never understand the words that crossed the screen. I wavered between feeling gratitude for the opportunity to celebrate another birthday with my daughter and necessity to bear witness to the grief of other mamas, surely not too unlike myself.
Necessity to bear witness to others' grief often won out for me in the weeks following. I wept through every interview of every parent who lost their child. I wept for every parent who chose to grieve privately, out of the harsh lights of the media. I wept for every educator who lost her life trying to protect the children she loved. I wept for my own daughter's teacher, the one she struggled to connect with, confident that she would give her life to protect my daughter, too. I'm confident that most teachers would give their lives to protect their young charges. I wept as I dropped my first-grader off at school the following Monday, knowing that there truly were no safe places left on Earth.
My daughter's closeness in age with the children who died inside Sandy Hook Elementary School gave me a sense of shared grief, despite our geographical distance. The world we raise our children in felt more violent, and less safe. I wrestled with paralysis as I tried to accept that we can do all the "right" things for our children, and still lose everything.
My world, and the worlds of mamas all over the country, changed that day. The tragedy in Newtown forever altered the way I see parenting. Not one day since has been mundane in our family. Each day is tinged with both gratitude for its existence, and fear of its ending. Life will never be "normal" again, nor should it. More importantly though, I know with everything in me, that I can never fathom the depth of the agony experienced by the mamas who lost their precious babies. I can never fathom the ways that that community has forever changed, after being thrust into the international spotlight for a most unwanted reason.
Five years have passed since that day. Five long years that twenty families in Connecticut have lived without the children they bore and raised. I write today so that you know I think of you and pray for you often. From one mother to another: I pray for you every time my daughter achieves a milestone. Every time I see qualities that you described of your children in mine. I know that you should have sent a child to middle school this year. I prayed for you as I sent mine. Today, I write so that you know your children are not forgotten.
I am fully, painfully aware that no words can soothe even a fraction of your pain. I know that "thoughts and prayers" have become an offensive statement, and rightly so. Please know that in the past five years, I have also taken action to support initiatives I believe in, spread kindness in our community, and taught my children to do the same.
In honor of yours.

The domestic intermodal industry has long been plagued by an inability to accurately track and report on the status of a container in transit. Historically, that's put intermodal at a disadvantage compared with over-the-road trucking, in which GPS-enabled cargo and equipment-tracking sensors have been widely adopted for over-the-road trailers of all types. The gap is closing — fast. Intermodal operators are leveraging this technology to be more proactive and make better, faster decisions to squeeze more utilization — and revenue — out of assets while improving driver satisfaction and retention.

And the story it goes,
It goes something like this:
Piles of parcels
Packed to the brim
Filled with the bundles
Of her loneliness and grim.
Prospects and futures
Cartons and loads
The burdens she carrying
Grows and grows.
As I've told her before,
And I'll tell her again,
"Those look pretty heavy. Do you need a hand?"
And she always replies, with a sad sweet grin
"These are all mine. From beginning to the end."
I wanted to grab one—just one—and help her along.
But she refused.
She didn't budge.
She trudged along each day.
Carrying her cargo on her back
In her arms
Wrapped around her toes
Rows and rows of packages.
Piles upon piles.
Littering the ground as she walked around
I could see she was suffocating.
Smothered in the hatred for herself.
Her life.
The lies she told to keep going.
To keep pushing on.
To keep moving along.
She was so weighed down
I could see her crown
Bound to her ankles.
I sighed.
I had to ask.
I needed to know.
"Why are you the chambermaid in your own life story?"
She stopped herself.
She looked down.
She looked all around at the mess they made.
Piles of parcels.
Piles of packages.
Piles of bundles.
Piles and piles and more piles.
Miles of life wrapped up in plain paper.
Trials of her strife covered in boxes.
She was contained.
She was confined.
She was controlled.
This was easier this way.
Keep it locked up. Packed away.
"A box is meant to hide the day's unrest."
"Did you know that?" She asked.
In jest with myself, I realize it now.
She was looking at my piles and boxes.
My miles of burdens.
Mine were just gift-wrapped
With makeup,
And purses,
And dresses.
With hair bleached and burned till the ends sizzled with disappointment.
Mine weren't any better than hers.
I was just better at disguising mine as an accessory.
"Are you free? " She asked.
"Free?" I said, with a laugh.
I'll never be free with all these piles.
Freedom to a woman looks like
A prison to complacency.
Freedom to shout?
Freedom to scream?
Freedom in equality?
Freedom to be what I wanted to be
Without this shadow of being
All the things we women who speak out loud get told we are to be.
So she sighed.
And I sighed.
"I'm tired." She said.
"Me, too". I said.
So we sat down.
Slumped on the ground.
Backside to backside.
Surrounded by the deafening sound of our silence
And piles and piles of packages and parcels.
"Let's open one." I told her.
"Yours or mine?" She asked.
"One of each" I said.
With a deep breath, we pried them open.
Only to discover
With shudder,
They were empty.

The treatment of vascular disorders and more particularly
for excising or disrupting venous valves
The InvaCUT Valvulotome is a device that cuts venous valves during vascular procedures such as:
• In Situ Peripheral Bypass
• Non-Reversed Translocated Bypass
• Coronary Artery Bypass
• Arterio-venous Fistula Creation
The Expandable InvaCUT Valvulotome is designed to be used with a less invasive in situ bypass technique. It is the only self-sizing, self-centering valvulotome available. It cuts valves in the saphenous vein, a vein that runs from the groin to the knee. When used with a semi-closed technique, it helps to prevent wound complications. Valvulotomy can be performed without the need for angioscopy and without changing cutting heads during valve lysis.
Benefits of the Expandable Invacut Valvulotome:
Wide blade range: a smaller diameter of 1.5 mm and a blade range of 1.5 to 6.0 mm allows for effective valve cutting without changing blades or instruments. Vein valve cutter is used for the atraumatic incision of vein valves as a preparatory step in in-situ bypass surgery. The wide range of 1.5 mm - 6.0 mm diameter provides valve cutting in smaller diameter veins while retaining its ability to cut valves in larger diameter vessels. This is striking device uses unique self-sizing, self-centering hoops for well positioned, clean valve cutting, decreased wound necrosis, and faster patient recovery.
Self-sizing, self-centering hoops support optimal valve cutting.
PTFE sheath keeps blades closed during atraumatic insertion, facilitating a smooth advancement to the proximal anastomosis.
Irrigation port enables saline injection to ease device passage.
The Over-the-Wire Invacut Valvulotome is an innovative device that uses unique self-sizing, self-centering hoops for well-positioned clean valve cutting, decreased wound necrosis, and faster patient recovery.
Special design blades offers valve cutting in smaller diameter veins while retaining its ability to cut valves in larger diameter vessels.
Hydrophilic Coating Decreases Resistance Forces
No damage to the endothelium and intima
Excellent handling and manoeuvrability
Fits over a standard .014" guidewire for enhanced trackability over traditional valvulotomes.
Offers more effective cutting in small vessels.
Side port enables saline injection to ease device passage.
No memory effect, therefore no pressure against the wall of the vessel
Minimal space is required on the instrument table
InvaCUT can be introduced directly from the dispenser into the vessel
Highest possible security for surgeons and patients
