Connecting the dots between 2017's natural disasters and climate
Karen Graham
Dec 29, 2017 in
From hurricanes to wildfires, heatwaves, and droughts, 2017 was a devastating year all across the planet, and while we tend to use the term "natural disaster," in most cases, they have been climate disasters.
And in the United States, the world's second-largest polluter, 2017 was also the year that President Trump turned his back on the rest of the world, opting to
pull out of the 2015 Paris Climate Deal
meant to limit global warming to under two degrees Celsius (1.5 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-industrial levels.
And while countless studies have been done, linking our changing weather patterns and extreme weather events to anthropogenic climate change, there were very few media outlets that connected the dots between the two, missing a great opportunity to talk about the changes we are experiencing.

Unnatural "natural" disasters across the globe
All across the planet, natural disasters struck with ferocity - Earlier this year,
severe monsoon rains
in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal killed more than 1,200 people and affected 40 million others, destroying homes, livestock, and crops, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
And in November,
Digital Journal
reported on the severe drought conditions in Spain and Portugal. The devastating drought left rivers nearly dry, sparked deadly wildfires and devastated crops, leaving 28 of Portugal's reservoirs less than 40 percent capacity. Climate scientists put out the warning that droughts are likely to become more frequent and severe, along with the wildfires.
And in Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria and Yemen, a
prolonged and devastating drought
has affected over 20 million people, leaving them starving - brought on by climate change. The growing food insecurity is driving people from their homes, leaving families with no livelihoods, agriculture or food production, creating situations where there is a loss of the ability to help themselves.

The global economic cost of natural disasters is rising
Extreme weather caused some $129 billion (111 billion euros) in economic losses last year, said a report Tuesday that warned the bill will keep climbing as climate change boosts droughts, storms, and floods. The figure roughly matches the budget of Finland.
There was a 46-percent increase in weather disasters from 2010 to 2016, with 797 "extreme" events recorded last year, according to research published in The
Lancet medical journal
On top of the risk to life, limb and property from heatwaves, floods, and storms, as well as the spread of water-borne diseases and disease-bearing insects, climate change may also pose longer-term health dangers, the report said. "Indeed, emerging evidence is suggesting links between a rising incidence of chronic kidney disease, dehydration, and climate change," the authors wrote.
The Brian Head Fire in Utah has grown to over 43,000 acres, while the Frye Fire in Arizona is now 39 percent contained on June 26, 2017.

The U.S. has the worst weather disaster year in its history
The U.S. experienced
15 weather events
costing $1 billion or more each through early October, one short of the record 16 in 2011, according to the federal government's National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, North Carolina. And the tally doesn't include the recent wildfires in southern California.
Actually, 2017 is about to become the
most expensive disaster year
in US history, costing nearly $400 billion in damages if you include all the wildfires.
And besides the wildfires that ripped across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado in March, and later, the horrific wildfires on the west coast, there was the "Pineapple Express" that brought in drenching rains, ending California's six-year drought, but causing devastating flooding and mudslides.

Then, there came the tropical storms and hurricanes. They deserve a page all to themselves, they caused so much damage. First came Hurricane Harvey that camped over Houston with record rainfall over five days. Then Irma swept across the Caribbean and the southeastern U.S., decimating some islands and inundating parts of Florida where sea level rise threatens to worsen floods in the future.
But after Irma went offshore, Maria devastated Puerto Rico, leaving the U.S. territory without power, and even today, some 100 days after the hurricane in September, a large portion of the island is still without power. Some investigations have put the death toll there at over 1,000.

three storms
caused over $210 billion in the U.S. and across the Caribbean, and about $100 billion in insured damages, according to Mark Bove, a senior research scientist with Munich Reinsurance America in Princeton, New Jersey. We really need to wake up to the long-term effects of a warming climate. And call it what you will, folks - climate change or just a change toward more severe weather patterns, - we can't ignore this any longer.
"When you see an extreme event that is breaking all records, it is more likely to have the fingerprints of human-induced climate change," said Brenda Ekwurzel, a senior climate scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists.

DURHAM — The angel investor market in 2013 continued its upward trend started in 2010 in investment dollars and in the number of investments, according to the 2013 Angel Market Analysis released by the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire.
Angels increased their investments in the seed and start-up stage, with 45 percent of 2013 angel investments in the seed and start-up stage, up from 35 percent in 2012. Angels also exhibited an increased interest in early stage investing with 41 percent of investments in the early stage, up from 33 percent in 2012.
"This increase in the seed/start-up stage is an encouraging sign since seed capital is the stage of need for our nation's entrepreneurs," according to Jeffrey Sohl, director of the UNH Center for Venture Research.
Angel investments continue to be a significant contributor to job growth with the creation of 290,020 new jobs in the United States in 2013, or 4.1 jobs per angel investment.
Total investments in 2013 were $24.8 billion, an increase of 8.3 percent over 2012. A total of 70,730 entrepreneurial ventures received angel funding in 2013, an increase of 5.5 percent over 2012 investments, and the number of active investors was 298,800, an increase of 11.4 percent from 2012. "The $24.8 billion in total investments is close to the market high of $26 billion that occurred in 2007," Sohl said.
"The increase in both total dollars and the number of investments resulted in a deal size for 2013 that was slightly higher than in 2012. These data indicate that angels were active investors, but those who did invest decreased their individual investments slightly, from $85,435 in 2012 to $83,050 in 2013, a decrease of 2.8 percent."
Software remained the top sector position with 23 percent of total angel investments in 2013, followed by media (16 percent), healthcare services/medical devices and equipment (14 percent), biotech (11 percent), retail (7 percent), and financial services (7 percent). The jump in media investments from sixth place in 2012 to second in 2013 is a reflection of the growing investor interest in social media and applications.
The Center for Venture Research has been conducting research on the angel market since 1980. The center's mission is to provide an understanding of the angel market through quality research. It is dedicated to providing reliable and timely information on the angel market to entrepreneurs, private investors and public policymakers.

The first single I ever bought was Girl From Mars. I first heard it on the infamous blur vs oasis chart rundown on radio 1 in 1995. Being an oasis fanatic the loud guitar noise was enough to convince me.
The album which followed 1977 is a britpop masterpiece full of fizzy guitar hooks. However their festval appearances throughout 1996 made it apparent that a second guitar was needed. Enter the lovely Charlotte on second guitar and the somehow lovelier single A Life Less Ordinary in 1997.
The second album Nu Clear Sounds had some great tunes on it (Jesus Says, Wildsurf and the completely gorgeous Folk Song) but there was also a lot of mediocre material. They just about scraped the difficult second album test and then completely hit gold with their third LP Free All Angels.
The singles Shining Light and Burn Baby Burn were rightly hailed as superb but I'd nominate Sometimes as being just as great if not better.
Then… oh dear. Envy was the sound of a band coasting if ever I've heard it. I've never listened to the album Meltdown but what I did hear sounded very drab and not enticing at all. By the time they released Twilight Of The Innocents in 2007 no one cared anymore really.
Except that while they promoted that album they declared to the press that they weren't interested in releasing traditional albums any more, just stand alone downloadable singles.
The grand concept unfolded throughout 2009. Ash would release a brand new song every fortnight until they had done one for every letter of the alphabet. This idea very much appealed to my OCD!
On my Facebook feed there were regular updates from Tim and the lads from their NYC studio. I didn't download the singles on a fortnightly basis but as soon as the first half were compiled on A-Z vol. 1 I dutifully downloaded it.
It is the best thing Ash have done in ten years and I'd urge you to get it. It flows like a sort of Greatest Hits even if you've never heard the songs before. Arcadia sling shots you all around the stereo with it's winning chorus, Dionysian Urge has one of those guitar motifs that Johnny Marr might come up with on a good day and War With Me brings the collection to a satisfying climax. There are some perfectly decent bonus tracks as well including the Radio 2 friendly Coming Around Again.
I have got Vol. 2 but it doesn't quite inspire me in the same way. I keep promising myself that I'll give it a chance though!

Foundations of Health Psychology
Online Course Materials: Articles Audios Articles Videos
Developed by Cheryl Ann MacDonald, Psy.D., RN
The 5 parts of this course are available as audios, videos, and articles for the student's choice.
General Course Description
In the field of physical health and psychological well-being, health psychology specializes in exploring biological, psychological, cultural, societal, and environmental factors of life, and how each of these effects physical and emotional health. Health Psychology explores the underlying factors that have a direct and indirect impact on ones' quality of life. Successful outcomes require a civilization who can investigate and employ treatment approaches that cultivate health.
The research is beginning to discover that negative feeling states such as sadness, anger, rage, anxiety, jealousy, and envy, have a direct association to a person's physical condition. Complete health depends on a healthy mind and body, and this course will be explaining the basic understanding of this relationship along with providing suggestions for health providers to assist others in preventing disease and maintaining health. Health Psychology principles integrate psychological perspectives with cutting-edge work in preventive medicine, epidemiology, public health, genetics, nursing, and the social sciences.
The American Psychological Divisions 38 is Health Psychology, which concentrates on interpreting the relationship between health, illness, emotions and lifestyle. Investigations present the biological justifications for the health psychology position in that human emotions are biological, psychological and sociological in quality. There is a need for implementing a different standard for providing health care, the emergence of a unique type of treatment that is positive in nature, integrating individual fitness and community well-being by implementing health psychology principles.
This introductory course consists of 5 parts, available as audios, videos and texts/pdfs, as well as complete references and resources, which covers the following sub-areas within health psychology. The first recording covers how biological, sociological, environmental and cultural circumstances link to physical and mental health; the second covers life with chronic pain; the third explains the relationship between the physical well-being of the heart and psychology; the fourth helps the practitioner understand the communications between the immune system, the central nervous system, and psychological/sociological conditions; the fifth and final recording will provide a basic foundation of the role the emotional system has in learning, memory, adjusting and coping. Additional resources and references are provided for further study, but they are not part of the course.

Are you looking for a new laptop for college? You have come to the right place. We have evaluated a number of laptops that our visitors use at college everyday. Continue reading for the best laptops for college students.
Preparing for college can be stressful enough without having to decide which laptop to buy. Since most colleges require a laptop these days, it is necessary that you buy the right laptop with the right specs. Most colleges will give you the required specs of the laptops they allow, but we've gone a step further with this article to recommend laptops that not only meet the requirements of colleges, but generally exceed them.
Given that most college students need to be mobile, we will keep this list to only laptops, but you can certainly get a desktop for college as well when you need more computing power in your dorm. The following guide of best laptops for college students is geared towards students who need lightweight laptop options to take to class, but anyone is free to read our guide.
Best Laptops for College Students 2019
|Processor | RAM | Storage
|1. MacBook Pro
|Intel® i5 | 8GB | 128GB SSD
|3.5 lbs
|2. Lenovo Ideapad
|Intel® i5 | 8GB | 500GB

What makes a great laptop for college students?
Buying a new laptop can be a challenge if you aren't familiar with what specs are required. Most colleges will provide these specs, but here's an overview of what specifications you should be looking for in a new college laptop. The eight key things you need to look for when buying a new laptop are below:
Recommended laptop configuration for college students:
Storage: These days, at least 250GB is ideal. For carrying your laptop around campus, you may want to look into an SSD drive upgrade so that your school files aren't lost if you accidentally drop it.
Graphics: Getting a laptop with discrete graphics is recommended, but not necessary.
RAM: Buy at least 4GB, but more than 8GB is preferred.
Software: Buy Windows or Mac OSX and your preferred word processor.
Processor: You should get an Intel i5 or better these days.
Touchscreen/Drawing Tablet: This is an optional feature, but some engineering and art colleges require a touchscreen and/or drawing pad in order to draw with your laptop.
Keyboard: Buying a full keyboard might be beneficial if you have to type numbers a lot, have big hands, or just prefer one. You can either get a larger laptop (heavier) or buy a lightweight USB keyboard. Also, we highly recommend getting a backlit keyboard so you can still see your keyboard when your dorm mate turns out the light.
Weight: You're not going to want to lug around a heavy backpack around campus so you should get a laptop that weighs less than 4lbs if you will carry it often.
1. MacBook Pro (Editors' Pick)
No list of the best laptops for college students would be complete without the MacBook Pro. We love this laptop since it is reliable, stylish, and comes with many of the programs college students need to get started.
The MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch Retina Display, 8GB RAM, a 128GB SSD, and up to 9 hours of battery life. MacBooks come with the Mac OS X Yosemite, but you can install Windows by using the Parallels program. It is also one of the lightest laptops on this list. It has a backlit keyboard for writing in low light and a spacious palm rest.
We recommend the MacBook Pro if you prefer the Mac OSX operating system environment or prefer a really great screen resolution. The asking price of $1,200 may be off-putting, but if you love the Apple ecosystem, this is the laptop for you.
2. Lenovo Ideapad
Our ThinkPad T450 packs a lot of core features for college students including a fast process, lots or graphics support, a spill-resistant keyboard which is perfect for the college student working in the cafeteria.
This gem features a 14 inch full-HD LED screen, an Intel i5 processor, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. For additional security, this Thinkpad laptop comes with a fingerprint reader.
The laptop comes preinstalled with the Windows 10 operating system, but that can be customized. The laptop is also lightweight coming in at 3.81 lbs.
Very rarely can you get a laptop with such great features for less than $700.
3. HP Pavilion
The HP Pavilion, packs a load of features for under $500. It's really hard to match the bang for your buck with this laptop.
This gem features a 15.6 inch full-HD screen, an Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive. It even has a backlit keyboard to boot. For an additional payment, you can add an SSD which will protect your laptop from all of the college shenanigans.
The laptop comes preinstalled with the Windows 10 operating system, but that can be customized. The only downside to this laptop is the weight which comes in at a little under 5 lbs.
Very rarely can you get a laptop with such great features for less than $500. We highly recommend you snatch this laptop up before it's gone!
4. Acer Aspire
The Acer Aspire E15 could be one of your best investments if you're willing to pay a little more than the HP above.
Like the HP, the Acer Aspire packs a 15.6 inch full-HD screen, an Intel i5 processor and 8GB of RAM. The main difference between the Acer and the HP is the 256GB SSD that comes built-in to the Acer. Also, the Acer includes 2GB of dedicated graphics RAM so if you are planning to do a lot of image editing, the Acer will be a better buy over the HP.
The laptop comes preinstalled with the Windows 10 operating system, but that can be customized. It also included a backlit keyboard which is great for college students who love late nights.
The only reason the Acer did not get our top spot for 2019 is the price tag, but it's still a great laptop nonetheless!
5. Acer Chromebook
The lowest priced laptop on our list, the Acer Chromebook certainly offers many of the tools college students are looking for out-of-the-box.
While it may not pack the same power as the other laptops on this list, the Chromebook doesn't need to. It has a 14-inch screen, which is plenty for writing, 4GB of RAM, and a 1.4 GHz processor. It only has 16GB of storage, but that's because everything it does is stored in the cloud so you never have to worry about losing files!
All Chromebooks run on Google's proprietary Google OS which functions very much like the Google Chrome browser.
For the price of only $250, it's hard to beat the Google Chromebook, especially when it has all the features college students are looking for.
6. ASUS ZenBook
One of the higher-priced laptops on our 2016 list, the Asus ZenBook book offers plenty of perks to make up for the price tag.
This laptop features a 13.3-inch multi-touch (yes, you can tap it!) screen, an Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive. It even has a backlit keyboard and it is the lightest laptop on this list. Obviously, the main differentiator between this laptop and the others on this list is the touchscreen. This is a huge benefit for college students who want to archive their work immediately in real-time on their laptops.
If you're looking for a laptop on which you can handwrite notes, this is the laptop for you!
7. Dell Inspiron
Another great laptop, the Dell Inspiron has everything you'd expect from a great laptop for college students at a reasonable price.
An i5 Intel processor, 8GB RAM, 15.6 inch touchscreen, a 1TB HDD, and Windows 10 operating system. This touchscreen is cheaper than the Asus ZenBook which makes it a great buy if you are looking for a touchscreen. The wide palm area is ideal for college students as well. The 7 hours of battery life also makes this laptop a steal since you since through several classes without worrying about finding an outlet.
If you are a looking for a reliable, great laptop with a touchscreen this is a great laptop.
8. Microsoft Surface Book
Microsoft really knocked it out of the park when the developed the Surface Book. It is a beautiful laptop that is perfect for college students who love touchscreens. While a lot pricier than most of the laptops on this list, it definitely makes up for it with value. We do only recommend this laptop for college students with deep pockets though due to the price.
Being a Microsoft laptop, the Surface Book comes preinstalled with Windows 10. The base model comes with 4GB RAM, a 13.5-inch PixelSense Display works perfectly with the included pen, an Intel i5 processor, 128 GB of storage, 8GB RAM, and up to 12 hours of battery life. The keyboard disconnects from the screen, allowing you to use it as a tablet as well.
The best part about this laptop is the screen. The included pen works seamlessly with the laptop, making this is the best touchscreen we have on this list. If you enjoy writing on laptops or tablets, this is the laptop for you.
In Conclusion
While these are the best laptops for college students according to us, you may find a laptop that better suits you. Since there are so many great laptops, feel free to list your favorite in the comments to help visitors after you who are looking for laptops for their college students. In the end, laptop choice is very personal, so if none of these laptops fit your style, find one that does!

(Bo Laksa King's) Bubbles and Bits
If you're looking for an inspiring story to start the new year, look no further than Bo Han, proprietor of Bo Laksa King' s. Recently, The Province's Elaine Wong did a story about the ongoing struggles in Bo's homeland, Myanmar. About midway, she tell's his riveting story. Here's an excerpt:
"Bo was a Grade 12 student in Mawlamyine during the summer of 1988 when protests swept through the country. Thousands of citizens joined the uprising, only to be viciously quashed in a bloody military attack. It is believed thousands were killed in that crackdown.
Like so many other young Burmese, Bo left his family and fled to the jungles on the Thai border where he camped out for four years with student freedom fighters. Finally weakened by constant bouts of malaria, poor diet and living conditions, Bo illegally crossed into Thailand. He squatted in a UN refugee camp for another two years before Canada welcomed him. He has not seen his family in more than twenty years."
Go ahead and read the entire article. It's a rare glimpse into a beautiful, forgotten corner of the world.
Luckily, for us, Bo learned how to put out some damn good food. I first experienced his amazing Laksa and Roti Canai a year ago. Since then, he and his wife, Tiffany, have moved from a grocery store on Joyce to a brand new shop on Hastings.
This new venue consists of Bo's kitchen, a bubble tea bar and a compact dining area for sixteen or so. He's brought the best of his old menu and loaded on a wide variety of 'Pan-Asian' cuisine.
I've got a rather big problem here. A solo gut and a menu packed with favourite dishes. Beef Rendang, Mee Goreng, Pad Thai, Butter Chicken to name but four. Every one of the five salads look tantalizing. What to do…
Tom Yum Thai
A couple of years ago, as we were driving around in North Burnaby, I noticed an old diner had been transformed into Tom Yum Thai. Being an aspiring foodie at the time, I naturally stopped and gave it a try. It was underwhelming, to say the least. I can't even remember what dishes we had. Since then I hadn't given it a second thought. Then I saw that Jessica from Yum-O-Rama had paid them a visit and put up a post. It became apparent that another visit was in order.
The day after reading Jessica's post I went on a solo scouting mission. When I read her post, the first thing I thought about was a possible Friday lunch gathering. No sense dragging the gang out for a mess of mediocre grub.
Whenever I visit a Thai restaurant for the first time I order Pad Thai. It seems imperative that any successful, authentic Thai restaurant will produce an above-average version of this plate. For the longest time I had Thai Cafe ranked as the best Pad Thai in Burnaby. Tom Yum's Pad Thai is equal, if not better.
This is top-notch Pad Thai. Rice noodles, perfectly cooked, lathered in a sweet, spicy and tart tamarind sauce…several tender prawns, tofu and crunchy sprouts…a really good balance of ingredients. The unique part is the ground peanuts and roasted ground chilies on the side. This allows the diner to season everything to their liking.
So far, very good. It's time to call in the troops and have a feast!
Thai Cafe
Thai Cafe is another of the Friday Lunch crews' favorite venues in Burnaby. After the sudden and inexplicable demise of Boua Thai, Thai Cafe quickly filled the void. For several years now it has been a guaranteed great Pad Thai fix.
This is exactly how Pad Thai should be. All of the elements are in place. Hot (chili paste), sour (tamarind and lime), salty (fish sauce) and sweet (palm sugar). Rice noodles perfectly cooked amongst crisp bean sprouts and carrot, crunchy peanuts, tender cubes of fried tofu, scallions and prawns. An excellent Pad Thai.
Hakka Masti
The other day I had a hankering for Pad Thai. Having visited all the Thai restaurants in the Burnaby/New West area, I decided to venture across the Fraser. After reading Sherman's take on Hakka Masti's version of Pad Thai, I had to try it for myself.
Hakka Masti is a Chinese-Indian fusion restaurant with a variety of Thai cuisine added to the mix. It all makes for quite an extensive menu and some interesting flavor combinations.
First off, the ever-popular Hot & Sour Soup. Normally there would be slivered carrot and bamboo shoot, maybe wood-ear funghi. Hakka's version is quite different. This is loaded with cilantro and what appear to be canned, sliced button mushrooms. Quite unexpected but damn tasty. Oh, and BTW, it is very, very spicy! That ain't just some wimpy white boy talking. As I was eating my soup, an Indian gentleman got up from his table to tell the server that there was too much spice in his family's meal! Now that's some heat!
Pattaya Thai Restaurant
Once upon a time, there was a restaurant in Burnaby called Boua Thai. Boua Thai was, looking back, a mythical place. Those who frequented it regularly, still speak of it as the last, great Thai restaurant in this area. It was where I discovered Pad Thai. Their version was perfectly made…always moist noodles bathed in a chile-laden tamarind sauce amidst a bevy of prawns, shrimp and chunks of golden tofu. Their Pad Gai Gra Prao (Thai Basil Chicken) was always served as it should…loaded with Thai Basil. The term 'I got sumoed' was coined at Boua because the size of the portions made you feel like a sumo wrestler. It was common for us to visit two or three times a week and then again on the weekend. We were there on the day they were forced to close their doors. What happened that day still remains a mystery.
Since then, I have been on the hunt for a local Thai restaurant of that quality. Thai Cafe and Lhy Thai have come close. Another one on the radar is Pattaya.
Pattaya Thai Restaurant is located on 6th Street in New Westminster beside Hon's Wonton House. It's a very small room (six booths) run by a Thai family. They offer a common lunch special menu with all items at $6.99.

2008 HES Presidential Address: We're All "Persons" Now: Classical Economists and their Opponents on Marriage, the Franchise, and Socialism
My purpose is to paint a broad brush narrative—it will have some visual representations as well—of how nineteenth-century political economists and their critics confronted a set of basic and related questions: Are men and women equally capable of self governance? Are they equally able to decide when and whom to marry and how many children to have? Can they be trusted equally to cast a ballot? Is their right to property inviolate or might new arrangements be designed and adopted for the production and distribution of wealth?
This is a story interwoven with extraordinary characters: John Stuart Mill will be featured heavily, though not exclusively. Alongside him frequently was his friend and later his wife, Harriet Taylor. Much of the story related to Mill on socialism will be told through the great critics of socialism in the twentieth century, Ludwig von Mises and (especially) Friedrich A. Hayek. Along the way, we will see that the criticisms in the first instance—in the nineteenth century—were largely about capacity. Critics of political economy made the case that men and women (English and Irish) were differently constituted; women (the Irish) were especially bad at making decisions about the family or voting.
Socialism, however, was different. Though he was intensely critical of Mill on socialism, Hayek's treatment had nothing at all to do with the capacity of those who might benefit from a full or partial system of socialism. Instead, Hayek focused on the now-familiar argument that a system in which property was redistributed from rich to poor would result in grave consequences in terms of overall economic well-being and self-reliance, and he was critical of Mill for failing to see that some socialism would lead to more.

Honda Activa 6G First Ride Review
- Feb 24, 2020
- Views : 8117
The launch of the Ray in September last year really marked a new era for Yamaha in India. The Japanese motorcycle giant which had become popular for its range of sports and premium bikes in the Indian market made its foray in the gearless scooter segment to take on the might of the extremely popular Honda scooter fleet.
But we were a little surprised when Yamaha went in all guns blazing to specifically target young females with every aspect of the Ray, from its choice of colours to even the choice of which gender assembles the scooter in the plant. I mean here was a scooter which looked universally good, rode extremely well and even though it had a few ergonomic features designed to make life easier for the fairer sex, the bike's appeal was undoubtedly universal, as long as you avoided the girliest of the girly colours that is.
But as strange as this gender bias might have appeared to us, it seems Yamaha was really planning for the long haul and so now we have the Ray Z – a scooter seemingly designed just for the boys and if marketing speak is to be believed, 'your new Bro'. So what does the Ray Z offer really? While on the surface, there might be some stark visual differences at first glance, a slightly closer look reveals that it is, in fact, the same scooter as the original Ray.
But to set the Z apart from its feminine counterpart, it now sports a blackened visor on the front cowl, a matte black finish on the front, a 'wing' shaped solid aluminium grab handle and a sporty two-tone colour scheme which even features a chequered flag pattern on the rear of the bike.
In fact, Yamaha has really taken this 'young and sporty' design theme extremely seriously and even has even given the instrument cluster a carbon-fibre pattern background. If the bike wasn't appealing to men before, and we believe it was, this visual variation should certainly be enough to attract the young male target group that Yamaha has got firmly in its sights for the Ray Z.
Mechanically, there is absolutely no change from the original Ray, and this is certainly not a bad thing. The Ray Z has all the underpinnings of the Ray which made it such a great scooter to ride. There's the same 113cc four-stroke single cylinder engine underneath producing the same 7.1 PS of power and 8.1 Nm of torque and these figures propel the same 104kg of kerb weight. So performance figures remain unchanged.
So while it still might not have the hardware to outpace scooter such as the Honda Dio or the Suzuki Swish, its great suspension setup with telescopic dampers up front and the unit swing system at the rear along with its stiff underbone chassis still helps it retain its crown as one of the best handling scooters in the market especially during slow to medium manoeuvring. But as with the Ray, the Ray Z's brakes don't really match up to the rest of the bike.
So what's our final take on the Ray Z? Well, we loved the original Yamaha Ray and it even took home the Scooter of the Year prize in the 2012 ET-ZigWheels awards. Priced at Rs 48,555 ex-showroom Delhi, the Ray Z is a couple of grand more than the Ray. But that being said, it is more of what we love in a package that looks even better.
So if you can get over your initial disappointment of expecting a brand new scooter, you'll realise that Yamaha has just given everyone another good reason to want a scooter carrying the three pronged logo.

Those considering college are searching for answers to their questions. There are various aspects to college, so learn as much as you can before attending it. The tips below will help your prepare for college.
Apply to scholarships and other grants early. If you find great resources for grants, you might not need many loans. Be sure to keep track of deadlines and submit applications on time.
Make sure you are familiar with you schedule as well as the location of your classes before school starts. Find out how much time it takes to get from one class to another, and plan your route accordingly. Also learn where the major student facilities are so you can find them quickly when you need them.
Show up to exams prepared with the proper supplies. If you forget something, you could feel more stressed out. A lot of instructors do not have extra supplies, so you should not forget to bring what you need for the test.
In order to study successfully, the environment can have a big impact. A dorm is the worst place you can study. Look for a quieter, more secluded area. Study areas in the libraries exist for this very reason. Wear noise-cancelling headphones to reduce any external noise when you study.
You should use the gym on campus; it is free. At the gym you will not only meet new people, but you will also stay healthy. Enlisting others to go with you is a great way to broaden your circle.
Your mother isn't coming with you to college. Try to eat right and make sure you are sleeping as much as you should. Have a schedule for everything, including taking care of yourself. Poor eating habits and stress can make you ill.
If you are attending college in another state or are going to reside on campus, decide if it is wise to bring your vehicle along. Many larger cities have limited free parking areas. It can also be hard to pay for everything owning a car entails, such as insurance and gas.
To avoid the freshman 15, try watching how many simple carbs you eat. You want to stay away from processed foods. Instead, consume as many fresh vegetables and fruit as you can. Also focus on whole grain foods. Both of these choices will help you feel more energized. Don't focus on just a protein diet either.
Always know how to get a hold of the police on campus. You should be able to reach them quickly. You may never need to use this number, but it is important to know it just in case.
If coffee is your passion, try not to purchase it each and every day. It's just too expensive. Brew your own coffee. Although there is more work involved, you'll spend less in order to have a cup of java. If you do some shopping, you can buy a pretty affordable machine that serves you well.
Be sure to take a number of different electives. You are much more likely to discover your true passion, if you study all kinds of different concepts. During your time as a freshman, experience life.
Online Schools
Online colleges are a great option if you work full-time. These online schools are ideal for those students with irregular schedules, or those who do not have access to local classes. Online schools permit coursework to be done anytime, anyplace.
Schedule your sleep. It is easy to become exhausted with so much going on in college. You will have a difficult time focusing if you are sleep deprived.
It's easier to feel confident about college if you know what to expect. So many different variables affect your time in college, so it is best to consider each one. Use the tips above to make sure you are well prepared for your college experience.

Primeras impresiones de Castlevania Mirror of Fate
1 comentario:
- Unknown dijo...
As someone guiltily, totally fascinated with the age of sail and stories of discovery and exploration, this series was definitely a 'must see' like a World Cup is for a seasoned football fan. watch happy death day
Among movies and series dealing with this backdrop there are as many hits as there are misses. Among the hits I would consider such movies as 'Master and Commander' or the 2015 Dutch production 'Admiral'. Among its many misses the Anglo-Saxon centered, dubiously motivated 'Black Sails' and, of course, the whole 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise. devil's candy
The Terror for sure ranks among the hits, it might even very well set a new bar in the genre. This series tells the tale of the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, which have embarked on a voyage of discovering an Arctic route to India which is quick to go awry. Based on a true story, its only fiction leans on introducing a mysterious monster which serves by ways of analogy to the darker nature that resides within all of us when desperation hits. watch Avengers Infinity War online free
Past this fiction all the characters are incredibly nuanced and well thought-out. Both Ciarán Hinds and Jared Harris more than carry their weight as the lead roles and the ships' respective captains. Jared Harris' performance in particular deserves praise and mentioning as the alcoholic captain of the Terror. A brooding, pessimistic, rejected and dejected captain and would-be in-law of his superior. A superior who, he literally warns, is embarking on a story of hubris.

Wanted: Baker, Bakers Apprentice or Helper
With Bread is looking for a passionate individual(s) who is interested in baking and/or operating a Farmers Market Booth to join our small team to help with our weekly bake for the Yellowknife Farmers Market.
From June to September With Bread services the Yellowknife Farmers Market every Tuesday evening with a selection of mostly naturally leavened and specialty bread, such as focaccia and baguettes. And for 2018, we will be introducing freshly baked pizzas at the Farmers Market.
With Bread is a small flexible micro-bakery with a limited but dedicated baking space that allows us to be flexible based on our customer's requests. Each week we bake approximately 160 loaves of bread, plus baguettes, flatbreads, mini-sourdough loaves and cinnamon rolls.
With an additional person(s), we are looking at improving our current baking schedule and expanding into other areas and products.
Who are you?
You are someone who enjoys working with your hands and is passionate about baking bread and interested in helping operate a small scale bakery/farmers market operation (the business side of things). You might have previous experience baking, either at home, school or professionally, but you might also be interested in learning from scratch. You must be a self-starter who can eventually look at a task list and be able to complete duties unsupervised.
You may also have no interested in actually baking anything but are interested in helping run the business at the Yellowknife Farmers Market. This would include packaging, transporting, setup, customer service and tear down of our Farmers Market Booth.
Job Opportunities
Monday Evening
This opportunity would include working in the bakery where we would start preparing the starters and doughs for Tuesday's bake. The details haven't been ironed out but this could include shaping some doughs and preparing pizza topping ingredients.
Tuesday Daytime
During the day on Tuesdays is when the bulk of work our will be done. This opportunity might start around 7 or 8 am, and includes shaping, baking, mixing, more shaping, packaging, and cleaning. A person could expect to be working between 6 and 8 hours.
Tuesday Evening (Farmers Market)
Ideally, this opportunity would start at the bakery helping package and load up the product and supplies (but it is negotiable) before heading to the Farmers Market. At the Farmers Market, this opportunity would include setup, customer service, possible pizza baking depending on the person, tear down and clean up. A person might expect to work 4 hours non-stop during this period.
All of the Above or Some
The opportunities above can be done by one, two or three different people. If you're only available on Tuesday evening and a people person that is awesome. If you just want to learn how to bake on a production level that is awesome too. If you want to do it all, well then, you're as crazy as Kyle, and we like that too.
The Commitment
The Yellowknife Farmers Market runs on Tuesdays from June to September. There are 16 markets throughout this time. We would be looking for people who can commit to these days, or know far in advance if a particular date will not work.
What is the compensation?
Compensation will depend on your level of experience. We value any help we can get and want to offer fair compensation.
What else will you get out of working with With Bread? You will gain the knowledge and experience of being involved in production level baking. You will see how to plan, schedule and bake bulk qualities of bread with limited equipment. You will learn how temperature, weather, and ingredients affect different breads. You will learn how certain bread differentiates from others and how to mix, shape, proof and bake them all.
If interested in any of the opportunities above, please contact us through the form below. We're happy to answer any questions you have.
There is also opportunity to grow within With Bread and help direct where it does on a higher level.

IF you hadn't noticed, the world is getting crazier and crazier. Basically, it's going to complete shits. Racism is at an all time high, and just about every ism is at its extreme maximum capacity. With the recent string of terror attacks in Kenya, Nigeria, and France, as well as, the Religious Extremism in America and abroad, one thing is for certain my Moorish brethren, you are going to continue to be a big fat target for all of the world's frustrations.
I suggest you take the time to refine your manliness, by sharpening up your skills and acquiring new ones. I am already implementing many of these suggestions myself, so I suggest my Moorish brothers to jump on it and get themselves together. Chaos can be a good thing. It can provide a vacuum allowing the tables to turn in our favor. The future belongs to those who plan for it. The word apocalypse means revelation; however, the context in which I am using it, is when SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan). Well……shit has hit the fan!
8 Things Moors Should Do Before The Apocalypse Arrives
1. GET OUT OF THE INNER CITIES: We've been talking about getting our 40 acres and mule since it was promised and taken away from us. Today, 40 acres is relatively cheap to obtain depending on where it's located. The inner cities have been death traps for us ever since the mass migration from the Southern states our parents and grandparents embarked upon many decades ago. Don't stress gentrification. It's a good thing if you are in tune with what's going on. Terror attacks are going to increase; especially, in the inner cities! No one will be paying attention to those living in rural areas. Land is the basis of independence and developing that land will bring you more wealth than working for someone else. You also have to be concerned with Zombies, Natural Disasters and other things that will make the inner cities the worse place to be during calamity.
2. ACQUIRE SUSTAINABILITY SKILLS: Living off of the land doesn't have to be wack and boring; especially, now with the "sustainability movement" in full motion. One does not have to compromise the luxuries and comforts that one would find in the inner modern cities. Learn sustainable farming, energy, and everything else that gives you power to not need outside forces to live. This also includes carpentry and electrical wiring. You can get these skills by becoming LEED Certified.
3. BUILD A HAREM: If you have land and are going to be living sustainable, then you will need some women of course to help you with everything. If SHTF, and even if it doesn't, who wouldn't want to live on a bunch of land with vagina insight surrounding you. Building a Harem is easy if you are the type of man that can handle one and have the ambition to do so. There are plenty of women out there who would be interested in not having to work in the inner city with the hustle and bustle of daily life. If things go to shits, then you will be able to create a TRIBE from scratch. I remember watching one of Geoff Lawson's permaculture videos, and he said he works one hour daily checking his permaculture farm, and the rest of the day he spends thinking about what he should think about. Not sure about you, but that is definitely the life I aspire to reach.
4. GET HEALTHY: Now is definitely not the time to be out of shape, sloppy, and unhealthy. You need to be able to run for miles without getting tired. I'm not in the best of shape myself, but I'm striving to be each day. Brothers must transform their bodies into indestructible vessels. The body is Man's temple, and we must treat it as we would treat any Masjid, Church, Synagogue, or automobile. After all, who wants to do all of this stuff, and then die from diabetes or some other lame ass disease or sickness?
5. ACQUIRE SURVIVAL SKILLS: It's definitely time for brothers on a mass scale to learn survival skills. This includes hunting, recognizing wild plants and herbs and their usage, building shelters, and starting fires from scratch, and which bugs are the best source of protein. There will come a time when this is necessary. Nature, by the authority of the One God, is about to hit the reset button. Without this skill you just will not be able to survive on this orb called Earth.
6. ACQUIRE FIGHTING SKILLS: Brothers need to know how to technically fight. Not this silly little street fight mess of swinging till the first punch lands. I'm talking about learning Brazilian Jujitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Filipino Knife fighting, Archery, Sword fighting, Long sword, and Samurai style as well. Don't forget Gunsmithing, handling handguns, semi-autos, automatics, and all the other ways and means one secures himself through combat. You need to have these skills especially if you are going to maintain a Harem. I would encourage my Moorish brothers to have their women learn some if not all of these skills as well, because tribal life makes it so you are only as strong as your weakest link.
7. LEARN CODING: In this era it is imperative that brothers learn how to code, and there are a number of places online that teach it for free. This will give us an edge of keeping technology in place and in play! Even if things hit the fan, we will still be able to troubleshoot and create entirely new mechanisms and systems that allows us to utilize quantum computer programming, and other aspects that will become integral to new era computing systems.
8. BECOME A SPIRITUAL MASTER & ASCEND: Last but not least, brothers need to step their spiritual game up. Whatever deity or deities you serve, you need to get right with them so that their power shines through you. If you read the stars or work juju, then you better be extremely gifted with it, because spiritual power is where one draws the power from to continue to persevere through difficulties that are sure to ravish us soon. I subscribe to Islam, so I make sure I get my Salats in, and do good deeds no matter what. Get your Ascension game strong, because you are going to most definitely need it!

My 4-year-old son has plenty of toys, and now that we have a daughter, too, it's probably only a matter of time before the house is teeming with kids' stuff. Most of the toys we have — building sets, board games, and art supplies — will be familiar to anyone, but over the last few years, we've also become quite acquainted with STEM (that's science, technology, engineering, and math) toys. Used in moderation, the techy toys can help youngsters develop abilities from elementary coding and programming to the basics of engineering and skills of logic. Here, the STEM toys that we love around the John household.
The box on the Elenco Electronic Snap Circuits kit says it's appropriate for ages 8 through 108, but I will say that not only does my 4-year-old love "playing circuits" (as he calls it), but he can now actually build simple working circuits on his own, such as those that use a single switch to illuminate an LED or play a tone. The game also doesn't require an app or separate smart device, so it's a toy he can enjoy entirely independently. Note that it does have a lot of small parts that would be a hazard for infants.
Cozmo, a pint-size robot, is arguably the most charming personality in the house. After a few weeks spent playing with the little guy, you will really come to think of it as a person. Cozmo laughs, it smiles, it grunts and groans, and it's always happy to play a game. We've enjoyed the preprogrammed games Cozmo arrived ready to play, but best of all has been watching our kid program Cozmo's actions using simple block-based coding with the Cozmo app. If you ever wanted to own Wall-E, this guy is the absolute next best thing.
Did you know that there's a toy that lets your junior programmer write code for a robot without any apps, screens, or even reading? Primo Toys' Cubetto is indeed a robot, but it looks like nothing more than a smiley wooden block. [Editor's note: We included the Cubetto in a 2016 holiday gift guide, too.] You program it using physical blocks, not by dragging icons around on a tablet. It's block-based coding that literally uses blocks, so your child will begin to understand the logic behind coding long before he or she can read. The only problem I have with Cubetto is that it's best for novices — my son has already outgrown it. But my infant daughter still has an intro to programming ahead of her, and you can bet this is the first toy she'll use.
Your kids won't even realize they're learning how to code with this toy — they'll just enjoy making a smiley face appear on the LED panel. The kit features a few core "blocks," such as a speaker, a touch-sensitive panel, a compact motor, and the LEDs, and while we started out creating a few of the designs in the Makeblock manual, within an hour, our kid went rogue and programmed his own series of flashing lights. He even set up an experiment testing whether electrical current could flow through mommy and daddy when we were holding hands. I was so proud.
Full disclosure: We don't own this yet. Using this kit starts with good old Lego building, and even a precocious 4-year-old would be challenged to properly manipulate all the little pieces to construct the five different robot models in the Boost Creative Toolbox (they include a robot cat, a guitar, and a vehicle, among others). That said, I can't wait for my son to get older because once the robot's built, he can use an easy icon-based drag-and-drop app to make it do all sorts of things, including controlling motion, sound, lights, and more. Also jury-rigged robot Lego Winter Villages sound awesome. [Editor's note: This was one of the toys of the year we had a child psychologist review.]
This is one of the most popular Kickstarter toy inventions, an award-winning living fuel cell activated using mud your kids can grab from your own backyard.
Another Kickstarter favorite, this paper ladybug teaches basic robot-engineering skills — once it's built, they can program it to do customizable actions via a free phone app.
The Code-a-Pillar was the first mass-market toy that introduced preschool-age kids to coding — kids separate the segments and learn how to control the caterpillar's movements depending on the sequence.
The CogniToys Dino was one of the hottest toys of the 2016 holiday season — it's a talking dinosaur that learns and grows with children by telling stories, jokes, and engaging in conversation. It's internet-connected for dynamic updates, too.
These magnetic wooden blocks might not look very techy, but child psychologist Sarah Roseberry Lytle says: "There's actually been some research looking at kids using blocks with parents and it turns out that building blocks are a really good way to promote early STEM and math skills. Think about the language you're using when you're building blocks: bigger, smaller, shorter, taller. If you have kids and parents building bridges with blocks together you'll start talking about concepts like stability."

For the first time in history, a group of scientists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston managed to define physiological function of dreaming. They found out that dreaming is essential for unconscious processing of the previous experiences and receiving a new layer of knowledge. The results of this study were published in April 2010 in the online journal Current Biology.
Robert Stickgold, a leader of the study and psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School, explained the essence if the experiments as the following. Several participants were asked to remember the layout of a 3D maze at the computer screens, and then 5 hours later they were placed again at a random location in virtual space and asked to find a landmark tree. It turned out that those people who were allowed to have a nap and reported about seeing the task in their dreams managed to complete it much faster.
The first author of the study, Erin Wamsley, PhD at BIDMC and Harvard Medical School, says: "Our findings suggest that if something is difficult for you, it's more meaningful to you and the sleeping brain therefore focuses on that subject – it 'knows' you need to work on it to get better, and this seems to be where dreaming can be of most benefit." That is why the scientists recommend modern students to do their main studies right before going to bed, hoping that their brain and memory will consolidate during the sleep.
"What's got us really excited, is that after nearly 100 years of debate about the function of dreams, this study tells us that dreams are the brain's way of processing, integrating and really understanding new information," says Robert Stickgold. The specialist is certain that dreaming is linked to better memory and enhances the abilities of human brain to work on given tasks at various levels.

Have patience with your passer
With the shift in the league, fantasy owners have increasingly turned to quarterbacks earlier and earlier in drafts. Both Michael Vick and Aaron Rodgers are going in the first round of an average 12-team league, while Drew Brees is coming off the board in the middle of the second. Even though this may be the age of the quarterback, even though Brees is coming off a historic three-year run, Vick is the most dangerous dual-threat quarterback since Steve Young and Rodgers is an elite pocket passer who has run for 672 yards and nine touchdowns the last two seasons, I'm here to tell you that there has never been a better season to wait on quarterbacks than this one.
The favorable passing conditions in the NFL haven't just benefitted the best of the best. Passers who in another era would have sat just outside the top tier have crashed the party. A growing stable of big, fast, physical wide receivers coupled with nominal tight ends who play like receivers has resulted in a diffusion of weapons in the receiving game across the league. Finally, a crop of talented young quarterbacks has made the worst-case scenario of missing out on the top tier or two of signal-callers more palatable than ever.
Of course, you have to have a strategy mapped out heading into your draft to make sure you can pass on Vick, Rodgers and Brees and still come out with a quarterback who carries top three potential. Your path to stealing a QB is below.
First, we need to determine our targets. Obviously, the three quarterbacks we've already discussed are out. Tom Brady is only going about half a round behind Brees, so he is too rich for our blood. After those four, however, our triumvirate of targets reveals itself: Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Tony Romo. To me, grabbing one of these three players at or slightly below his current going rate is the best way to ensure fantasy success with one pick this season.
While trying to make an apples to apples comparison between "Is it better to take Vick in the first round or Romo in the sixth?" is usually fraught with assumptions, the fantasy gods are smiling on us. Vick is currently the seventh player off the board, and Romo is the 66th, a pick that just happens to belong to the person in the seventh slot. If that weren't enough, Rodgers is going 11th in an average draft while Rivers is going 35th. Guess who owns the 35th pick in the third round? Yep, the person with the 11th pick. This makes our exercise much easier. So, would it be better to take Vick in the first round or Romo in the sixth? How about Rodgers in the first or Rivers in the third? Let's find out.
Before fracturing his clavicle early in the Cowboys' sixth game of the year, Romo had 1,605 yards and 11 touchdowns while completing nearly 70 percent of his passes. That puts him on a pace for roughly 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns. He shares a huddle with Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten and Felix Jones. Meanwhile, he's going early in the sixth round of a 12-team draft, a full 60 picks after Vick. Let's say you take Vick at seven, his average spot. Here's an idea of what your team will look like through six rounds, compared with someone who takes LeSean McCoy at seven while targeting Romo in the sixth.
Team one: Vick, LeGarrette Blount, Ryan Mathews, Brandon Lloyd, Wes Welker, JerMichael Finley.
Team two: McCoy, Hakeem Nicks, Mike Williams, Felix Jones, Mark Ingram, Romo.
Team two has superior running backs and far superior receivers, while also having a quarterback who has two seasons of 4,200-plus yards under his belt. Give me team two any day of the week.
That's the most extreme case, though. What if we compare Rodgers and Rivers? Rodgers has a three-year average of 4,131 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, 293 rushing yards and four scores on the ground. He also has a deep group of receivers with Greg Jennings, JerMichael Finley, Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson and James Jones. Guess what? Rivers' three-year average is 4,324 yards and 31 touchdowns. He doesn't run like Rodgers, but he has an equally dangerous corps of pass catchers with Vincent Jackson, Antonio Gates and Malcom Floyd. He's also hearing his name called 25 picks later than Rodgers, or two rounds in a 12-teamer. Let's run the same simulation we did for Vick vs. Romo for Rodgers and Rivers, this time through four rounds. Rodgers is coming off the board at 11 in an average draft.
Team one: Rodgers, Peyton Hillis, Vincent Jackson, DeSean Jackson.
Team two: Darren McFadden, Calvin Johnson, Philip Rivers, DeSean Jackson.
Once again, the opportunity cost of taking the quarterback early is too high. The gap between McFadden and Hillis plus the gap between Calvin Johnson and Vincent Jackson is much greater than the narrow difference between Rivers and Rodgers. Here, too, the play is to wait on a quarterback.
On to our final pair, Brees and Manning. This one becomes problematic due to Manning's neck injury, but that just means you should get him at a cheaper price. Like Rodgers and Rivers, the three- and four-year averages for Brees and Manning are nearly identical. Yet Brees is already going nearly a full round before Manning, and that gulf is certain to widen with the uncertainty surrounding Mr. Laser-Rocket Arm. We can't make the same comparison between these two as we could with the other four because of Manning's injury, but the fact remains that they have posted, for all intents and purposes, the exact same stats since 2007 yet one is going significantly higher than the other. I'll always take the cheaper option in that case.
The obvious downside to this strategy is that if you miss out on Romo, Rivers and Manning, you've missed out on the elite quarterbacks. In past years, that would be cause for concern. In 2011, it just calls for a minor course correction.
Eli Manning is widely seen as a fringe starter in a 12-team league, yet he's coming off back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons with a combined 58 touchdowns. Matt Schaub has thrown for more than 9,000 yards the last two years and has the best receiver on the planet at his disposal. Matt Ryan threw for 3,705 yards last year with a 28/9 TD/INT ratio. Ben Roethlisberger piled up 4,328 yards in 2009 and 3,200 in just 12 games a year ago, while throwing for 43 touchdowns compared with 17 interceptions in the two seasons combined.
All this, and we haven't even mentioned young guns Matthew Stafford, Josh Freeman and Sam Bradford, the talented enigma Jay Cutler, or Kevin Kolb, a guy who was good enough to start over Michael Vick and now finds himself in pass-friendly Arizona with Larry Fitzgerald on the outside.
Yes, my fantasy friends, it is good to be a quarterback in the new age of the NFL. But the realities of the new age also mean it's more beneficial than ever to wait on a QB.

Off-White x Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Custom Men's White
- Brand: Nike
- Product Code:
- Availability: In Stock
Off-White 's "The Ten" collaboration with Nike has arguably been this year's biggest release, with Virgil Abloh winning the 2017 Footwear News Achievement Award for "Shoe of the Year." Despite taking on 10 classic Nike silhouettes, some people have wanted to see the collection extended. French artist The Golden Shape — who has previously made Air Force 1 Creepers — has mocked up what it might look like if Virgil Abloh had also decided to work on the Nike Air More Uptempo and Air Max Plus silhouettes.
The two sneaker concepts both feature the signature touches from "The Ten," such as the safety tag through a lace hole, the Off-White for Nike branding, and the "shoelaces." Other than that, the two sneakers come in full white colorways inspired by the "GHOSTING" color palette that runs through five of the original pairs in "The Ten," including the Nike Air Force 1 Low and the Nike Air Max 97.
