Ecosanctuary Support
Hope & Sons recognise the importance of our ecology and environment.
We also recognise the incredible task that has been undertaken by the Orokonui Ecosanctuary. The primary purpose of the Ecosanctuary project is the restoration of coastal forest and the protection of our flora and fauna. The 307 hectare Ecosanctuary includes 230 hectares of conservation land that has been given the highest category of protection, that of a nature reserve.
The forest within the reserve is mostly 100 years old, with isolated pockets of much older trees. The ecosanctuary is already home to native wildlife including South Island kaka, tomtit, fantail, rifleman, brown creeper, bellbird, grey warbler, Otago jewelled gecko and many others. Ten species of native fish live in the Orokonui stream.
High on the list to bring back home are kiwi, tuatara, robin and kakariki.
A Lasting Legacy
The most lasting legacy we can leave when we die is a gift to our environment. That is why in conjunction with the Orokonui Ecosanctuary, we have developed this unique way of remembrance.
The first memorial seat and plaque placed on the Rimu Track in 2010.
Hope and Sons will make an annual contribution to the Ecosanctuary. This contribution will be acknowledged at the Ecosanctuary with the placement of a bench seat inset with a plaque in memory of all those families we have cared for each year. The Ecosanctuary will record where each seat is placed, and if visiting you will be able to locate the seat, reflect, remember and appreciate the unique experience of the Ecosanctuary.
There is no additional cost to participate in this programme and we do encourage families to visit and appreciate the Ecosanctuary and what it is doing to restore and protect our local coastal forest, flora and fauna.

The Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW), together with states, tribes, and its many partners, protects public health by ensuring safe drinking water and protecting ground water. OGWDW, along with EPA's ten regional drinking water programs, oversees implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act, which is the national law safeguarding tap water in America.

What is COBRA? | Congress passed the landmark Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) health benefit provisions in 1986. The law amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Internal Revenue Code and the Public Health Service Act to provide continuation of group health coverage that otherwise might be terminated. |
What does COBRA do? | COBRA provides certain former employees, retirees, spouses, former spouses, and dependent children the right to temporary continuation of health coverage at group rates. This coverage, however, is only available when coverage is lost due to certain specific events. Group health coverage for COBRA participants is usually more expensive than health coverage for active employees, since usually the employer pays a part of the premium for active employees while COBRA participants generally pay the entire premium themselves. It is ordinarily less expensive, though, than individual health coverage. |
Who is entitled to benefits under COBRA? | Qualifying Events - Qualifying events are certain events that would cause an individual to lose health coverage. The type of qualifying event will determine who the qualified beneficiaries are and the amount of time that a plan must offer the health coverage to them under COBRA. A plan, at its discretion, may provide longer periods of continuation coverage. |

The environment, communication on societal issues, and generally spreading the word in a collaborative atmosphere.
We live in a world where tensions meet demands, and influential actions or decisions are a click of a mouse away. Perhaps discussion and dialectic an excellent venue for coming to terms with current societal issues, the beginning of doing something to implement a solution. Often, both sides of a conflict desire the same thing, but cannot arrive at their common solution owing to their perpetual conflict situation. Philosophical inquiry may open the door to open-mindedness, which is only the first step at fixing these issues. Every change begins with the individual, and every solution must incorporate those who are causing the problem.
Global warming solutions, human dynamics, and being a productive member of society.

3:08pm Thursday 10th May 2012 in News By David Hardiman, Reporter
An alleged cannabis farmer will appear in court today after a police raid found nearly 30 plants in a Hornsey house.
Michael Laong, 39, of Church Lane, will appear at Enfield Magistrates' Court this afternoon charged with being concerned in the production of cannabis at his home.
Police raided the building on Tuesday after receiving a call from a 38-year-old man who had discovered the plants and got into a fight with a person living at the house.

What is the universe?
The Earth, stars in the sky, the planets, everything that lives on them, and all that is beyond... that is the universe.
Did you know that....
* We are made of the same kind of stuff that stars are made of!
* That there are other huge groups of stars in space called galaxies.
* The Big Bang sent other young universes flying out in all directions...North, South, East, and West!
Will the universe ever end?
Some scientists, called astronomers, who study the sky think that the universe will keep getting bigger and bigger. Others think that the galaxies may crash into one another.
Did you know that....
* Astronomers are people who study planets and stars.
* No one really knows where the stuff that made up the universe came from.
What is the Milky Way?
No the Milky Way isn't a candy bar. The Milky Way is the name of the galaxy that we live in. It is made up of all the stars and planets you can see at night.
Did you know that....
* The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy. This is what it looks like.
* The Milky Way galaxy got its name because we can see some parts of it at night, and it looks like a big band of milky white light.
How many stars are there?
There are approximately 1000 billion stars in our galaxy.
Did you know that....
* There are 3 main shapes of galaxies:
1. Irregular (which means odd shape) |
2. Spiral (like our Milky Way) |
3. Elliptical (sort of oval shapped, like an egg) |
Why do stars twinkle?
Stars do not twinkle. They only seem to twinkle because of the atmosphere (air) surrounding the Earth. The air bends the light that the star produces.
Did you know that....
* Stars are not star shaped. They are round like a ball.
What is a black hole?
A black hole is something that happens when a big star dies. The star caves in on its self becoming smaller and smaller. Soon what is left pulls light in and other materials. Stars that become a black hole have a very strong gravity.
Did you know that....
* Gravity is the force that holds you to the Earth.
* A planet's gravity is what keeps its Moons from floating off into space.
* A black hole sucks light into it, just like a sink drain sucks down water.
How hot is our Sun?
The Sun is a huge ball of gas that has a very hot temperature of around 27 million F. Nothing can live on the Sun.
Did you know that....
* Without the Sun, the Earth's animals and plants could not live.
* One day our Sun will use all its energy and die.
* The Sun still has enough energy to shine for another 5 billion years.
How many planets are in our Solar System?
There are eight planets other than the Earth. So there is a total of NINE planets in our Solar
The First planet is Mercury. It is the closest to the Sun. |
The second planet is Venus. Venus is also known as the Earth's sister planet. |
The third planet in our Solar System is our Earth. Earth is the only planet known to have life. |
The fourth planet from the Sun is Mars. Mars is also known as the Red Planet. |
The fifth planet is Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System. |
The sixth planet is Saturn. Saturn is known for its beautiful system of rings. |
The seventh planet from the Sun is Uranus. |
The eighth planet in our Solar System is Neptune. |
And the last planet, number nine, is Pluto. Pluto is the smallest planet in our Solar System. |
* The word planet is from a greek word planetes, which means "wanderer".
* An orbit is a path a Moon travels around a planet and a planet travels around the Sun!
* All planets spin as they go around the Sun.
Which planet is the hottest?
You might think that Mercury is the hottest planet because it's the closest to the Sun. That's good thinking, but in this case Venus is the hottest planet. Even though it is the second planet away from the sun, Venus can reach up to 900 F. Now that's hot!
Did you know that....
* Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. People once thought that life was on Mars, but no signs of life have been found.
* Venus is hotter that Mercury because of clouds that keep the heat in.
Which planet is the biggest?
Jupiter is the biggest planet. It is so big that all the other planets could park on it!
Did you know that....
* There are four planet in our Solar System that have rings.
* That Jupiter is one of the planets that has rings.
* Jupiter is also the name of the king of the Roman Gods.
Which planet is the coldest?
Pluto is the coldest planet. It has an icy temperature of -400 F. Compared to ice cream on Earth that tastes cold, ice cream on Pluto would seem very hot!
Did you know that....
* Pluto is so cold because it is the farthest away from the Sun.
* Pluto is about 40 times farther away from the Sun than Earth is!
* The gas that gives Uranus it's blue color is called methane.
* Every 248 years Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune is!
Which planet is the smallest?
Pluto is the smallest planet.
Did you know that....
* Uranus spins differently than the other planets.
* If you weigh 85 pounds on Earth that you would weigh 32 pounds on Mars!
* Venus is the second planet to the Sun.
What are Saturn's Rings made of?
The rings of Saturn are made of rock, dust, and ice. They all orbit around the planet.
Did you know that....
* Rockets can go up to 25,000 miles per hour.
* Space can stretch you. Astronauts can come back from space as much as 2 inches taller!!

If you have recently had a terrible hair cut, or if you are enthusiastic about growing beautiful, long hair for a special occasion then you must be eager to find out quick and easy ways to grow your hair.
The most important factor that encourages faster hair growth is the basic genetic setup which is influenced by hereditary factors. For instance, generally, it is believed that hair grow at a rate of 5-6 inches in a year.
However, there are several individuals who have been favored with a genetic predisposition that makes their strands of hair grow to about 11-12 inches in a year.
Given below are some other encouraging factors that influence hair growth.
Season: Your hair grows slightly faster during the summer season. This increase in rate of hair growth is induced by hormones as there certain hormones are specifically released during warm summer months.
Moreover, there is more efficient circulation of blood in the body during summer season when the body works faster. Nonetheless, this attributes to a mere 0.05 inch increase in the average hair growth rate. Thus, your tresses grow about 10% faster during sunny summer season rather than chilly winter season.
Scalp massage: Proper hair care regime is highly beneficial in making hair grow faster and longer. Scalp stimulation through regular scalp massages and hot oil treatments help a great deal in achieving quick hair growth.
Check out this video explaining top ten factors that affect healthy hair growth.
Stimulate the hair follicles by gently massaging the scalp in circular motion with your fingers. You can follow this simple procedure daily, especially before going to sleep.
Further, application of warm oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, etc. help your hair grow fast. At least once in a week, you can use hair masks to boost hair growth.
Vitamins: Diet plays a significant role in stimulating hair health and growth. Therefore, taking more B vitamins and amino acids through diet and supplements facilitates faster hair growth naturally.
Some such hair vitamins are vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, iron, zinc, protein etc. Nowadays, people are also taking biotin pills and prenatal vitamin supplements to help their hair grow at a better rate.
Rest and sleep: This may sound unusual but yes, good sleep and rest help in growing hair faster. The body repairs and regenerates cells during sleep.
Moreover, growth hormones are secreted during this restorative process. Hence, erratic sleep patterns and sleep deprivation contribute in causing hair loss.
Besides, doing yoga, meditation and adopting other relaxation techniques help reduce stress and hence avoid a number of hair troubles, especially hair fall and hair loss.
Hair health and condition: Though hair shaft is made up of dead cells, its root is very much alive and is affected by the way to treat your hair.
When tying up your hair, make comfortable and a little bit loose ponytails, buns or braids instead of tight and suffocating hairstyles. In addition, stay away from curling rods, and other heat treatments that cause more harm than good.
Besides, it is essential to incorporate healthy habits like drinking sufficient water, having nutritious foods, abstaining from cigarette smoking and alcoholism, removing split ends periodically, and combing your hair before washing them and so on. However, rate of hair growth tends to decrease as you age.
If you believe that religiously washing your hair everyday encourages healthy hair growth then think again and direct your efforts at more effective ways by understanding your hair type rather than following others blindly.

The "Hidden" Benefit of Homeowner's Insurance
People often assume that their homeowner's insurance covers only damage to their home and perhaps personal property in their home. Actually, most homeowner's insurance policies are much broader, covering liability for bodily injury or property damage that you or family members cause to other people, even if it is unrelated to your home. It often pays for both the cost of hiring a lawyer to defend you in court and for any damages a court rules you must pay (or out of court settlement).
For example, ski and snowboarding accidents are common in Utah and Colorado. If a person is injured by another skier, he or she may sue that skier for negligence in the same way as if the accident occurred on the highway while the parties were driving their cars. Homeowner's insurance generally covers the person being sued for negligence in the same way that car insurance covers a person sued for negligence in an auto accident.
The personal liability coverage in your insurance policy does not protect you and members of your household damage that you sustain in these types of accidents, however. The property damage component of your policy, your health insurance or another party's liability insurance may provide coverage for those kinds of damages or injuries. While it is not truly a "hidden" benefit, personal liability coverage is often overlooked when buying homeowner's insurance. Generally, most homeowners insurance policies provide a minimum of $100,000 worth of liability insurance, but higher amounts are available. Increasingly, it is recommended that homeowners consider purchasing at least $300,000 to $500,000 worth of coverage of liability protection.

Yesterday, on patios across the nation, from sea to shining sea, we celebrated our country. We grilled. We baked. We watched fireworks and parades. We watched incredible amounts of hot dogs be eaten, or we ate them ourselves. Morning, noon, and night, we toasted our fair country, for food is a force that gives us meaning. We eat to give ourselves strength. We eat to feel a sense of community. Yesterday, some of us ate to break a record, and may have felt a bit queasy as a result. This week, we are highlighting photographs of the best things you ate in service of your country, from a hearty breakfast to get the big day started, to a classic Southern side, finished off by a dessert that may even be more American than apple pie. Happy Birthday, America. This one's for you.

Joe Staley's anger after Sunday's win was directed at a surprising target: the 49ers' fans.
The 49ers' left tackle was one of several players who motioned for the Candlestick Park crowd to stop doing "the wave" when Arizona defensive end Calais Campbell was injured in the fourth quarter and a stretcher was on the field.
Campbell, who gave a thumbs-up when he exited on the stretcher, was able to move all of his extremities after initially experiencing "extreme numbness," according to Arizona head coach Bruce Arians.
"There is a man down there on the field getting carted off; you've got fans out there doing the wave; I thought it was disrespectful," Staley said. "I know their players didn't appreciate it, and our guys didn't appreciate it. That's our livelihood out there. It's a brotherhood out there. I think that's what makes this game so great. Just didn't appreciate it."
Said 49ers CEO Jed York, via Twitter: "To say I'm disappointed some fans did the wave this afternoon while@Campbell93 was down is understatement. Hope you get well soon Calais."
Campbell was taken to a Bay Area hospital, where doctors said he would be "sore but OK," according to ESPN.
Problems in the middle: Nose tackle Glenn Dorsey exited with a hamstring injury in the first quarter, forcing the 49ers to turn to Tony Jerod-Eddie. The former undrafted free agent began the season as a third-string nose tackle, but he moved up the depth chart when starter Ian Williams was lost for the season with a broken ankle in Week 2.
With Dorsey sidelined for the final 54 minutes, Arizona, which entered ranked 23rd in the NFL in rushing, had 109 rushing yards and averaged 5.2 yards a carry.
Dorsey was limping in the locker room and his status is in doubt for Sunday's game at Tennessee. Asked about reinforcements at nose tackle, head coach Jim Harbaugh noted that rookie defensive linemen Tank Carradine and Quinton Dial can begin practicing this week.
Because of injuries sustained in college, neither Carradine nor Dial has had an NFL practice, and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio expressed doubts about their initial game readiness last week.
The 49ers have nose tackle Mike Purcell, an undrafted rookie, on their practice squad.
Briefly: The 49ers' 18-play drive to their final touchdown was the longest in the NFL this season. ... The Niners have scored 30 points in three consecutive games for the first time since 2003. ... With his 61-yard touchdown, Vernon Davis became the first tight end with a touchdown of least 60 yards in consecutive games since 1969 (Cincinnati's Bob Trumpy).

Squarespace is a Breath of Fresh Air in the Smoggy Website Building Space
Personal feeling: we don't give our websites enough attention. It's usually a "good enough" situation. It shows our photos, gets our name on Google and it serves as a place for us to send clients and prospects. That attitude tends to result in an attitude of "settling." We settle for what we find and it is, again, good enough. Or is it? I wasn't ready to just be happy with "good enough" on my website. [more]

LeBron Effect: Heat Tickets WAY up, Knicks Down, Cavs Way Down
Friday, July 9th, 2010The LeBron James "decision" has finally been made. LeBron had his own hour-long ESPN special Thursday night to announce to the world and the teams apparently where he will play the 2010-11 season. LeBron will leave the Cleveland Cavaliers — the place he grew up and began his NBA career — to join Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat, which Paul the psychic octopus predicted yesterday in a FanSnap exclusive.
What is the impact on tickets you ask?
Yesterday fans could buy Heat season tickets for $3,238.61 on average. Today, Heat season tickets average $8,249.99. That's a 2.5x increase overnight. Heat season tickets had been relatively flat for the last 10 days.
Average Knicks season ticket prices, which had jumped up 33% on Thursday on speculation LeBron would sign with the Knicks. Wednesday Knicks season ticket prices were averaging $4,128.55. Thursday, those same tickets went up to $5,499.45. Today, prices are down 18% to $4510. Bulls, Nets and Clippers tickets were flat.
We're now seeing Cavs season tickets averaging $935 or about 1/3 of what they were with LeBron.

Next week, the U.S. House of Representatives is set to consider a number of measures intended to enhance America's ability to avoid cyber-attacks. CTIA applauds this effort to enhance America's national and economic security.
The centerpiece of next week's activity will be consideration of the bipartisan Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act (H.R. 3523).
As CTIA has said for months now, we strongly support CISPA and urge every Representative to support it next week. It's the single most important thing Congress can do to help improve our nation's cybersecurity profile and protections for its citizens.
Why does the wireless industry support CISPA?
We support this legislation because our members, who are on the front lines in defending America's communications networks from attack, believe it will promote robust and effective voluntary information sharing of cyber threat information between and among government and private sector partners. It will do this with appropriate privacy protections, as well as with the sort of immunity from lawsuits that will genuinely incent sharing of cyber threat information that will help our nation get ahead of the challenge.
As my colleague, John Marinho, CTIA's Vice President for Technology and Cybersecurity, mentioned in a recent post, the silver bullet here really is a partnership. A top-down regulatory approach will inevitably take on an adversarial nature, while a voluntary partnership holds the promise of true collaboration and cooperation. And what's more, the framework contained in CISPA can be implemented without expanding the scope of the regulatory regime or an expenditure of all too scarce federal resources.
Enactment of H.R. 3523 will help promote greater cybersecurity by permitting the private sector to better leverage its own cyber defense efforts in a coordinated fashion with government entities through information sharing to protect the nation's systems, networks and consumers. Additionally, by helping facilitate the creation of a more robust cybersecurity marketplace, the bill will lead to expanded research, service offerings and more jobs for cybersecurity experts. Those are things our nation and our economy can surely use.

Posted on 10/08/2011 5:35:28 PM PDT by Krankor
I always appreciate a story where an individual who enjoys hunting animals simply for sport or who torments animals for pleasure- get his comeuppance. Good for the bull.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Good for the bull!
a total crazy "festival"...sounds more like something the Muzzies would enjoy...er, they would probably do it with humans.
PS. I am not a Vegan and enjoy a good steak.
Bullfighting is part of Spanish culture. You are cultureless to enjoy the injury of a matador...or cowboy...or zoo keeper.
Sounds like you and Michael Vick are kindred spirits.
Can't say I feel sorry for him.
It's mine.
4:38. It happens fast. At least I think this is the incident?
Sometimes you get the bull, sometime the bull gets you.
Can't exactly work up any sentimentality towards the matador, he knew the risks and still chose to still inflict brutal injuries on the bull for sport.
I suspect karma was involved.
And beheading is part of the muzzie culture.
What's your point again?
And BYW, I am Spanish.
Have you ever seen a bullfight? The bull enters the ring....then a picador ( horseman ) comes out with a long pointed pike. He continually pokes the poor animal causing massive bleeding......then a bandoleer enters with barbed sticks which he then puts into the back of the bull....6 times!
The heroic matador enters to continue the torture.....this is sport?
http://www.eitb.com/en/news/ has the pic.
Don't click here if you don't like seeing gore. Not safe for work or weak stomachs. You've been warned.
The difference is the hunter isn't a coward and kills his own meat. He doesn't hide behind a butcher and then tries to claim the high ground.
I've only been once, in Madrid. I didn't know what I would think. But the whole thing is awesome.
I doubt that there are many Muslim matadors.
The matador is a craven coward. I'm only sorry he lost one eye.
I do so abhor the sport of bullfighting! :-(
I despise animal cruelty in all its forms...
That matador is a craven coward. I suggest you go kill a puppy- it takes about the same level of skill.
That sounds brutal!
The matador is a craven coward. Im only sorry he lost one eye
Would you have preferred he be completely run through with a horn? Sounds to me as if you delight in seeing humans get their comeuppance [as you see fit]and don't bemoan their pain, yet you moan and gnash your teeth over the bull's plight.
Your attitude places you on a level plain with those who enjoy the bull's suffering. I love animals but I love people more. Period.
As the saying goes You mess with the Bull...you get the horns!
Really? Have you ever been around a bull?
Most farm animals you can take casually except two, the goose and the bull. Both will attack. Both can leave you with broken bones. But bulls kill. They ain't puppies.
Unless you refer to rabid wolverines on angel dust as puppies.
Matador, picador, it's still pointless brutality.
Any hunter worthy of the name tries for a quick, clean kill instead of prolonging the creatures agony simply to play to a crowd of blood thirsty animals.
El matador earned every moment of pain the bull was able to inflict and then some.
Let me see if I got this straight. The matador takes a dumb animal, torments and tortures it. And I'm the bad guy because I'm glad the scumbag who does this gets his just deserts? Go kill a puppy. I bet you'd love it.
Punchline from one of my favorite jokes:
"Sometimes, Senor, the bull does not lose."
No slo-mo replay with John Madden and his commentary and electronic marker!
Let me tell you this, my friend. If you're a farmer, and one of your bulls or cows or horses or enraged chickens attacks you, then more power to you. Fight back with a knife, gun, machete or nuclear device. By the same token, if you enjoy tormenting or torturing an animal before you kill it then....well...you can go to hell— without an eye, I hope.
Yup. you said it well.
He was not the matador, he was a banderillero - the man who plants the "banderillas" - the barbs in the bulls shoulders. One of several specialists in the Spanish bullfight.
I can guarantee you my compassion levels are much higher than yours. If you'd bothered to read my post instead of lashing out in defense of your ludicrous opinions and assumptions, you'd have seen I don't condone the torture of animals or humans. The fact that I believe humans are more important than animals is religious based so I won't even try to argue the fact with you. If you have to save a child or a dog which will you choose?
However your statement that it takes the same level of skill to kill a bull as a puppy is simply not accurate.
Bulls are not easy to put down, just a fact. They were the defenders of the herd against bears, wolves, big cats and so forth so they had to be tough. They haven't gone that soft over the centuries.
It actually takes immense skill and training to do what these guys do.
They spend their youth practicing the skills required, not only to do their part, but to do it with style and grace. The Spanish bullfight critics are brutal.
The Spanish bull running and slaying are something I do not understand. Whatever floats their boat, I guess.
Perhaps those bulls are tormented, I really don't know.
I kind of doubt it. Though I have known some mexican nationals that believe that animals are for amusement. Sick what they do in mexico.
The U.S. probably has the best record of actuall abuse. Something worth researching.
Wanna make a difference? Move to Iran and open a dog shelter. No joke!
The Angus bull is gentle and doglike. Though there are some cows in the herd with the bloodline of Santa Gertrudis. They are dangerous with calf. The Angus are freaking smart. They sell well. They calve well. They are hard to handle sometimes.
I hunt wild deer for meat, btw. Wild pigs too, oinky! Its bow season here in TX. Kill and Grill! Can I cook y'all a rabbit or something?
The wild things taste better!
Krankor, go have yourself an historical day! God Love It!Bless its Heart!
God Bless!
Not a matador. The matador generally just kills the bull.
The bull is put through a three-stage ritual, involving a play of capes combined with, first, lances, followed by the banderillas, and finally the sword.
The first two stages are actually necessary, for many often very subtle reasons, to make the final stage reasonably safe (relatively speaking, this is an extemely dangerous profession) and certain.
These are not ordinary bulls.
They are bred specially for the bullring. You could say they are the pitbulls (yes, that amuses me too !) of the bovine race.
Great Hemingway's ghost!
I am warming myself comfortably in the toasty heat of the hellfire you have wished upon me ! And mine. And the entire civilization from which me and mine are descended.
Salud !
I suggest peppercured venison backstrap... you will give up potatos. Keep it raw, dog.
Some of the best is right before it turns.... yeah...
"That matador is a craven coward. I suggest you go kill a puppy- it takes about the same level of skill."
Cultural illiteracy. Read and learn my friend. It may not be pretty, but it's how they like to do it. They don't care what you think.
Sounds to me that you're not quite an "ex" hippie.
Your post makes you seem foolish. Bodies made in Gods' image are not worthless, even if their treatment of animals does not meet your standards.
"Sounds to me as if you delight in seeing humans get their comeuppance [as you see fit]and dont bemoan their pain, yet you moan and gnash your teeth over the bulls plight."
One HUGE difference. The matador has a choice, the bull doesn't.
Go sign up for PETA, little girl.
Study the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 to see how an otherwise educated people, previously defenders of Christendom against the Moorish hordes, could descend into utter barbarism. Photographic evidence horrifies to this day.
By the way, the Spanish bullfight is well attended by both sexes. And Hemingway, a sadistic man by any standard, was a huge aficionado of "la corrida". Read his For Whom The Bell Tolls.

2416. Initial Applications of the Product Model in Developing Weight Estimates
Title | 2416. Initial Applications of the Product Model in Developing Weight Estimates |
Publication Type | Conference Paper |
Paper Number | 2416 |
Year of Publication | 1998 |
Authors | Filiopoulos, C., Marcavage J., Ray D., and Tschabold Gerald |
Conference | 57th Annual Conference, Wichita, Kansas, May 18-20 |
Conference Location | Wichita, Kansas |
Publisher | Society of Allied Weight Engineers, Inc. |
Date Published | 5/18/98 |
Abstract | Traditional weight engineering skills and approaches, such as having in-depth knowledge of ship systems, historical data, and adequate manpower for drawing calculations may not be sufficient to produce quick and accurate weight estimates in today's acquisition reform-minded environment. As demand for technological and business innovation is increasing for upcoming designs, 3D-product modeling is expected to become a standard tool for design, manufacturing, and logistical support. Each CAD system offers certain inherent advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, weight engineers must make up for CAD system deficiencies or customize and expand CAD capabilities. They must have a working knowledge of relational databases and information extractions from design files to produce accurate results faster than the traditional labor-intensive approaches. However, since weight control is a time-based projection, starting from feasibility studies till the end of construction, traditional weight estimating methods must be maintained and integrated with product model data to project the mass properties of the ship, as required. The LPD 17 design has been the test case of the implementation of the Navy's CAD system for preliminary and contract designs. This paper describes our initial experiences in the mass properties area and the lessons learned. |

In this post I am going to introduce one of the minor factions in the game: The Deadlanders.
The Deadlands
The Deadlands is a stretch of muddy barrens with its epicenter originating from the Bone Fortress somewhere in between Wrench and Severim, and stretches out to approximately a hundred miles in radius, effectively cutting off all forms of conventional travel routes from Wrench (and most of Oasis) to Severim. It was created in the dark ages when a weaponized version of the world-ending plague was deployed around the area. While there were many versions of what led to the weapon's deployment, the general consensus in most oral histories were that it was an act of vengeance against villagers around the area who refused to pay the local bandits tribute.
The plague was released at a time where the atmosphere was filled with mutagens, and as a result, instead of just killing off human life as it was originally intended, the plague instead devoured every living thing be it plant, animal or human alike. And instead of staying airborne and then burning itself out, the plague burrowed deep into the ground and destroyed every last bit of foliage in the region. The effect was so horrific and long lasting that even after three hundred years nothing could grow in it.
Survival in the Deadlands
Surviving in the deadlands is not impossible. There is no food, no clean water (most bodies of water are infected by the plague), and no solid ground on which to build a home upon, but several key species of animals and insects do manage to find a home here. Amongst them are the sazara foxes, the tarrahit waterborne insect, mosquitos, strains of bacterias and microbes that are immune to the plague, as well as the cantih hares that burrows at the edges of the deadlands.
Rumors had it that there's a colony of large, mutated salamanders who live their entire lives burrowing underneath the deadlands, absorbing bio-organic materials through their slick skins. These lizards, commonly called the bone drakes (for the exposed top-part of their heads), are often sighted by caravaneers foolish enough to brave the harsh terrain just to cut down their travel costs to Severim.
Bandits who were driven out from the Oasis often met their end in the deadlands, but some of them seem to have survived against all odds. They are commonly resourceful, extremely cunning and ruthless – traits crucial to surviving in the deadlands. Calling the inhospitable region their home, they are notoriously untouchable by the Bloodstorm Alliance and the Awakened Archonites. Their usual modus operandi usually involves submerging themselves into the countless muddy sinkholes littered across the landscape, and then bursting out with bone and obsidian daggers coated with powerful neurotoxins and dirty mud to ambush passing caravans. One wound from these daggers are usually enough to cause terrible infected wounds that will almost certainly turn gangrenous if not amputated immediately.
At one point the caravaneers who chose to travel across the deadlands began hiring large numbers of elite escorts from the Bloodstorm Alliance (ironically, even with that the cost of travel is still far cheaper than the sea route through Barnacle), and was met with limited success. Armed with automatic weapons, mounted machine guns, flamethrowers, shock-grenades (small grenades that are dropped into sinkholes which when denoted, will cause a massive hydro-shockwave localized in the hole itself, killing any would-be ambushers in it.
The deadlanders learnt fast however. Instead of lying in wait in sinkholes, they began to utilize more advanced weaponry and coordinated tactics, leading to speculations that their organization is far more united that rumors and common perceptions would have one believed so.
One of the most illustrative example happened to the Caladan Brothers, who lost an entire caravan even when escorted by an entire division of elite bloodstorm mercenaries. Only one mercenary survived to tell the tale, albeit with half a face covered in third degree burns and both legs missing. She literally crawled the entire way to Wrench, before eventually succumbing to deadly infections.
According to her, the caravan was travelling in the late evenings at a steady pace southwards, and entered a shallow valley that forced the caravan vehicles to move in a single file. The caravan master foolishly ignored the escort captain's recommendations to pitch camp and wait for daylight, and pushed on, hoping to save fuel and supplies. As the caravan entered deep into the valleys, they suddenly came under fire from all directions, all of them firing from camouflaged positions. Within seconds half a dozen of the guards were dead, including the caravan master. Before the guards could bring their flamers to bear, they were hit by pre-sighted mortars firing phosphorus rounds, burning most of them to death and laying down a thick layer of deadly smoke, effectively nullifying the guards' abilities to locate the enemy and fight back.
The deadlanders then move in, armed with automatic rifles and gas masks, and finished off the survivors with alarming efficiency unheard of for a bandit group.
Deadlander Culture
After a hundred years of living in the deadlands, the deadlanders have developed a culture that is frighteningly spartan and brutal. In the deadlander's organization, the men far outnumber the women. Their women never venture out from their homes. Thus, it is almost impossible to find an adult female deadlander roaming the lands on her own free will.
Combat Training
That said, no deadlander, women or children alike, are to be trifled with in combat. Every deadlander is taught muasilat when young, which is a martial system combining deadly hand-to-hand combat with intricate, snake-like footwork. In fact, the training is so strict that every deadlander, male or female alike, are to proof their worthiness at the young tender age of 12 in a single combat against a full-grown bone drake. They are given one week to prepare, usually prior to their 12th birthday, and on the day itself they would be thrown into a makeshift arena and have to make do with whatever weapon they can find or improvise. This tests not only their martial capabilities but also their resourcefulness, which is one of the most important attributes in the deadlander society.
When a deadlander male reaches puberty, he is taught basic firearm skills as well as usage of primitive weapons like the bone dagger and the obsidian tipped spear, and unless he shows a high level of competence within a year of training, he will be expelled from the group with both arms tied to the back with wet leather, and hunted by a pair of starved sazara foxes. He will need to survive in the deadlands without provisions of any kind for a week before he is allowed to retake the exams. A second failure will result in immediate execution.
Due to the relatively small numbers of women and at times, inbreeding, defective babies are wrapped in white cloth and thrown into sinkholes as sacrifice to the Aladha, their version of God. However, if the discarded baby were to survive for a full week on its own, the baby will be retrieved and drained of blood upon an altar. The baby's blood would then be shared amongst the greatest warriors in the organization, as it is believed to impart immunity and uncanny luck to those who consume it.
The deadlanders worship Aladha, which they believed to have brought the plague to the world, and created the deadlands for them. According to their lore Aladha was the creator of mankind and disgusted by mankind's compassion for the weak, he unleashed a plague to wipe out the unworthy and purge the human gene pool of "defective creations". He then created the deadlands as a constant reminder of his greatness, and a lesson to all mankind that compassion towards the weak will only lead to the extinction of the human species.
They also believe that the bone drakes are their guardians, bestowed upon them by Aladha to protect them from the infidels. Due to this, killing bone drakes for its meat is a capital sin, punished by impaling the offender upon a stake driven through the anus, up through the body and out the mouth. The carcass would then be offered to wild bone drakes as sacrifice, and a form of apology. The only time a bone drake can be slain by a deadlander is during their muasilat test at the age of 12. Domesticated bone drakes are often used as guard pets, and are often brought along in raids and unleashed upon caravans to terrorize and disrupt enemy formations.
Bone drakes play a significant role in a deadlander's life. Its front teeth are used to fashion their iconic 8″ curved bone daggers, and its spiky skull often worn over the shoulder or the jaw as decoration during rituals (never in combat though). The drake's poison glands containing powerful neurotoxin cocktail which doubles as home for millions of bacterias are used to coat their weapons, which could paralyze a full grown adult man within minutes of drawing blood. Its burrowing claws and rib cage are grounded into fine powder and when mixed with coagulated blood from the drake's liver makes an excellent antiseptic medicine which could be applied directly to wound to clean and stop the bleeding, or consumed in small amounts mixed with alcohol to boost one's fertility, endurance and strength.
The deadlanders believe in offering sacrifices to Aladha, although these rituals are only done prior to significant events like changing of leadership, discovering an abandoned infant who is still alive after a week, or before the Forchan Grand Tournament that happens once every five years. Their religious codes are tightly integrated into their lives. They begin every meal with prayers of thanks to Aladha, and hold month long fasts every year to demonstrate their worthiness to their god.
They believe that all non-deadlanders are infidels, and that the only true path to heaven is to survive in god's purgatory first. Therefore they are in general extremely distrustful towards non-deadlanders, and in most cases look down upon them as inferiors.
Fashion & Social Order
Deadlanders usually dress themselves in long robes, with a hood tied over their heads to protect themselves from the ever present mosquitos. Their houses (called Lumpors) are built of mud, and cleverly camouflaged into the landscape that it is virtually impossible to detect until one comes to point-blank range. Most deadlanders stay near the Bone Fortress, which is a series of ruins half buried into mud that is impenetrable for one single reason – it is surrounded by a ring of bone drake infested sinkholes.
When it comes to fashion, deadlanders prefer garments made of dried drake skin, lined with the saraza fox's yellow fur. These simple garments are usually worn as a robe with a belt made of dried bone drake intestines, or sewn into more comfortable tight-fitting shirts and trousers. The latter is usually worn by warriors, who cake themselves with mud before going into battle as both a ritual and camouflage.
Women on the other hand, who never ventures beyond the doors of their Lumpors after they reach puberty, dress in simple underwear made of bone drake skin (specifically, the softer tail portions). They spend their entire day preparing meals, cleaning weapons, refilling ammunition casings, building and refining their homes as well as educating the young in religious matters. In the deadlander society, there are no marriages or families to speak of. In the deadlander society, women choose their partners, and one woman is allowed to have up to five male partners at a time which they can discard if they sense any weakness in the male partner.
In the deadlander's religious code, men is forbidden from touching women unless allowed to by the woman. When speaking to women, they employ a highly formal form of their native language, often referring themselves as Padkas, literally translating to "your humble servant".
