Sample Speaking Topics:
Surviving and Thriving Through Seasons of Change
A coping mechanism that actually works for faithfully navigating change. Motherhood, thy name is change. Once we think we've got something figured out, our kids change and we've got to learn something new all over again. The same can be said when we are forced to adjust to circumstantial changes in our lives. Change is challenging. These three promises from God's Word will keep us grounded when the winds of change are blowing wild around us. *this message specifically crafted for MOPS and MOMS groups
Pack Lightly, Get Ready, and Go
What one non-Pinteresty verse teaches us about God's will for our lives in seasons of motherhood. We'll meet a group of believers who were asked to put on their big-girl-britches even though they didn't like their story at the moment. After we apply God's instructions for them to struggles that every mother faces, we'll walk away with hope and encouragement for the day-to-day blessings and challenges that come with the task of raising humans. *this message specifically crafted for MOPS and MOMS groups.
Ready: Finding the Courage to Face the Unknown
God's plan for the woman who knows the battle is coming but refuses to leave the front line. The phone call in the middle of the night. The diagnosis you don't think you can face. The ministry you don't think you are strong enough for. The unknown beckons for us all, but it doesn't have to be paralyzing. As we dive into the opening chapter of Joshua together, we'll discover seven promises and three commands from God for courageous living. The good news is that the wisdom found here will prepare you for the battle, but it will also prepare you for His blessing. Hope lies on the other side of our readiness.
Becoming a Legacy-Making Woman
Three lessons we can apply today from an everyday woman who made Biblical history. If you have a pulse, you have a purpose. And if you love Jesus, you'll want to leave a legacy for Him with your time here on earth. As we get to know one of my favorite women of the Bible, we'll confront the lie that we are not worthy of influence and we'll follow her lead to make a kingdom impact for Christ.
Walking on Water in the Fourth Watch of the Night
Embracing a courageous faith in the storms of life. Nothing good happens in the fourth watch of the night. That is, of course, unless you are bold enough to walk on water. But the only way we'll do that is to keep our eyes on Jesus. Together, we'll look at Peter's choices in the middle of a storm to find that courage has little to do with earthly bravery and everything to do with heavenly focus. And we'll learn the promise that is found for those who are brave enough to step out of the boat.
Battling Anxiety with Biblical Truth
Combining tangible tools with Biblical truths to feel better and live our lives well. We'll look at what God says about anxiety and then we'll discover the one detail I learned from my yoga-teaching days that forever changed the way I viewed God's breath. And yes, the breath matters when it comes to battling anxiety. I've made a living teaching others how to cope with anxiety and as someone living with a terminal disorder, I've also struggled with it personally. When you combine the physical strategies I've learned along the way with the power of God's Word, the battle with anxiety can be waged with confidence. You'll leave with Biblical encouragement for dealing with anxiety as well as practical tools for managing it.
Ready: Finding the Courage to Face the Unknown
God's plan for the woman who knows the battle is coming but refuses to leave the front line. The phone call in the middle of the night. The diagnosis you don't think you can face. The ministry you don't think you are strong enough for. The unknown beckons for us all, but it doesn't have to be paralyzing. As we dive into the first three chapters of Joshua together, we'll discover the promises and commands from God for courageous living. We'll also learn the key truths about His character that enable us to walk boldly unto the unknown. The good news is that the wisdom found here will prepare you for the battle, but it will also prepare you for His blessing. Hope lies on the other side of our readiness.
Determined: Living Like Jesus in Every Moment
Learning from the example set by Jesus to embrace determined living. Imagine waking up every single day convinced that the twenty-four hours ahead of you are a precious gift to be used wisely. Now imagine that you know exactly how to spend them to be a force for God's good. We should want to make every moment count—not only because we aren't guaranteed the next one, but also because this is exactly how our Savior spent His time here on earth. As we dive into key selections from Luke, we'll intimately connect with a Savior who remained laser-focused on His mission to love the world. In return, we'll receive a model for intentional living that we can replicate to ensure we are living each day to the fullest and making a difference for God's kingdom.
Read the Bible, Be Ready for Life.
Where to start when you want to read God's Word. Anxiety and I are friends. Why? Because I face every day with an incurable genetic disorder that promises major medical events. The one thing that helps me face that with peace is reading the Bible daily. God's Word has the power to cut through a mind that won't turn off and a heart that feels too tender when I can't make sense of things. So maybe you want to read the Bible too, but you've got questions: Where do I start? What do I read? How do I understand it? And how do I apply something written 2,000 years ago to my life in 2019? I've got answers for you. Together, we'll look at tips for reading the Bible, staying in it consistently, and using it as a powerful tool to strengthen and encourage us every day. Reading the Bible doesn't have to be complicated, but it will make you ready for whatever you are facing in life.
Customize It
Talk with me about creating a custom and personalized message specific to your group's needs.
Biblically sound, poured over in prayer and certain to challenge you to dig deeper into your faith walk, Heather took us on a journey through the first few chapters of Joshua. The journey began with her own story, which is so very inspirational, but she invited us in to make it our own "march" in discovering the courage available to each of us as individuals through the love and promises of our Heavenly Father.

Heather's Bio
Heather M. Dixon is an author, speaker, and Bible teacher who understands living with a story that is not easy. Diagnosed with an incurable and terminal genetic disorder that she inherited from her mother, she is passionate about encouraging and equipping women to trust in God, face their greatest fears, and live with hope, especially in the midst of difficult circumstances. When she is not blogging at The Rescued Letters or speaking at women's conferences and events, Heather loves to make the most of everyday moments such as cooking for her husband and son, brainstorming all the possible ways to organize Legos and superheroes, checking out way too many library books, or unashamedly indulging in her love for all things Disney. Heather is a regular contributor to Journey magazine and the author of Ready: Finding the Courage to Face the Unknown and Determined: Living Like Jesus in Every Moment.

Over August-September 2009, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage (MCH) and the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) (now Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment] invited submissions on a public discussion paper outlining options for the transition of regional television to digital transmission, and proposed changes to the VHF and UHF radio spectrum bands. These matters are related to the upcoming switch-over of television broadcasting to digital-only transmission.

Student Loan Update – Getting Closer!
So, apparently there is more to life than a 10-day long, world record breaking hockey game. I know it's hard to believe, but while I was confined to The Compound for 10 days, life went on in the outside world. And one thing that happened while I was gone was that some payments for my student loans, which I'd set up before I left, went through. Some payments that mean I have only $17,829.59 ((considering I started with $72K in 2007, I think that's pretty good!)) left to pay!
This means that I have already met my goal of cutting my student loans in half – from $40,000 to $20,000 – by the end of 2011 – and it's only September!
You don't happen to have $17,829.59 lying around that you want to give me, do you?

In a May 2012 study on mid-sized business owners and executives, ADP Research Institute found that 33 percent of mid-sized companies in the U.S. had incurred federal penalties for non-compliance with government regulations over the past year. Of those 33 percent, the average number of penalties sat at 6.4. The study also found that businesses with in-house payroll processing received almost three times the number of penalties than those with outsourced payroll processing. Organizations with in-house payroll processing had an average of 5.7 fines compared to 2 fines for companies with outsourced payroll operations, according to the survey.
"A growing number of midsized companies are outsourcing their payroll processing to help mitigate risk in an increasingly complex regulatory environment," said Regina Lee, President of ADP Major Account Services, National Account Services, GlobalView, and ADP Canada. "As more mid-market organizations realize the value that outsourcing can offer, we're also seeing increased demand for our ADP Workforce Now solution, which helps midsized companies simplify the regulatory compliance process, reduce their administrative burdens and focus more squarely on growing their business. In fact, more than a quarter of our new midmarket sales come to ADP from companies previously performing payroll in-house."
A second study by ADP in 2011 found that the percentage of companies processing payroll in-house compared to those using and external vendor has declined. Between 2005 and 2007, in-house payrolls at midsized businesses have dropped from 54 percent to 48 percent while companies outsourced payrolls rose from 46 percent to 52 percent. More companies with outsourced payroll processing also recorded, for the first time, a higher satisfaction rate when compared to companies with in-house processing at 62 percent and 61 percent, respectively.

Original Artwork
Kristine Andrea is a versatile contemporary fine artist who creates pieces with acrylics, oils, and watercolour. She creates her paintings with a combination of realist and impressionist painterly styles.
Before Kristine paints she slips into a meditative state. During this process, her mind dives into a fantasy world, creating and drawing ideas. Although a meditation practice is intended to quiet the mind, Kristine allows her attention to wander as this is where some of her greatest ideas evolve. Often it feels as if she is receiving silent whispers from spiritual guides who want to explore the canvas with her and guide her through an emotional expression.
Kristine understands Mother Earth to be incredibly powerful and inspiring. When she is reaching for inspiration, Kristine will take a walk or dig her hands in the garden. She loves watching Mother Earth's beauty evolve through the seasons and witnessing the collaboration with her friends. Kristine believes that when you are aware and present with Mother Earth, she is always offering grace and messages. Kristine is greatly influenced by the glory of Mother Nature
and showcases it in her artwork.
Kristine is a self-taught artist who lives in Calgary, AB, Canada. She has exhibited her works in Canada and the United States. Her work is most appreciated in person for an emotional connection and appreciation of the beauty of the human form and the character of it that is created in her works

It looks like he'll have to think about it:
John Tory says he'll decide "very soon" whether to hang on as Progressive Conservative leader after winning just 66.87 per cent support from party activists in a review of his performance following last October's election debacle. The results – lower than internal tracking which showed more comfortably in the 70 per cent range – appeared to come as a shock to Tory.
Personally, in a very selfish way, I hope Mr. Tory leaves, and the Ontario PC's put in a right-winger as their leader. I think Tory would still have a chance to portray himself as a moderate to the Ontario electorate the next time around, and that usually appeals to the province's voters. If the PC's think they need to get a leader that acts more like Mike Harris then Bill Davis, that will ensure the PC's remain out of government here for awhile.
[email protected]:40pm – Well, that was quick:
After the result, Tory said he needed time to consider his future. The time he needed turned out to be brief. Three hours later, Tory emerged late Saturday to announce that he had consulted his wife and caucus and had decided to stay on as leader.
So, he opted to stick with this amount of support unlike what Joe Clark did with the same amount of leadership support with the federal PC's� in 1983. It will be interesting to see if this time, the decision pans out for him, unlike for Joe.


text: 'Point Break' to Open in China 3 Weeks Before U.S. Release 10:38 PM PST 11/4/2015 by Patrick Brzeski FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures Point Break Trailer Still - H 2015 No major Hollywood film has ever bowed in China so far ahead of its stateside opening. The much anticipated remake of cult surf thriller Point Break is already making waves. According to producer Alcon Entertainment, China has approved the film for a wide release there on Dec. 3 — an unprecedented three weeks before its U.S. opening. The movie will be the last Hollywood release in China for 2015, following The Martian's bow on Nov. 25 from Fox and The SpongeBob Movie on Dec. 1 from Paramount. Typically, imported movies are blocked from release in China during December and early January, during which time local films are given uncontested reign at China's box office, now the world's second-largest movie market. Chinese co-producer and local distribution partner DMG was likely involved in achieving the late-year release coup. The company co-produced Iron Man 3 in 2013, securing its China release two days before it opened stateside. The only Hollywood film to open further in advance in China was Penguins Of Madagascar, which premiered 12 days early there in 2014. DMG declined to comment on the release plans for Point Break. Point Break stars Luke Bracey, replacing Keanu Reeves as FBI agent Johnny Utah from Kathryn Bigelow's original 1991 film. Edgar Ramirez will fill Patrick Swayze's memorable role as Bodhi. Ericson Core directs the remake. Warner Bros. is releasing the film in international territories including the U.K., Russia, Japan and Latin America, while Lionsgate is bringing it out in the rest of the world.

The Grommet seeks out innovative, problem solving products and these Tunisian towels really raise the bar in terms of quality.
Lexington, MA (PRWEB) May 07, 2013
The Grommet, an online shopping site and product launch platform for innovative and undiscovered products, is working with fashion designer to feature Scents and Feel, Tunisian Fouta towels. The Grommet seeks out innovative, problem solving products and these Tunisian towels really raise the bar in terms of quality.
Plush terry cloth towels are so ubiquitous that many have come to equate fluffiness with quality -- but fluff factor isn't the real measure of luxury. In the Mediterranean region, fouta refers to multipurpose linens that come in various shapes and sizes to form towels, tablecloths, cover-ups and more. Jenny Haik, a longtime fashion designer, lived in Tunisia as a child and always wanted to revisit the rich traditions of the region, including the hammam, or steam room, for cleansing and relaxation. Through the company she founded, Scents & Feel, she's reinterpreting Tunisia's ancestral body-care practices for a modern audience.
Jenny's fouta towels are ideal for creating a spa-like experience. They're hand-woven on looms using natural cotton to create a unique dimensional weave that feels great against skin. They're absorptive, quick drying, and incredibly versatile. One can use a fouta as a bath or beach towel, shawl, picnic blanket, bed cover or tablecloth. They're generously sized, but because fouta towels are thinner than conventional terry cloth, they're lightweight, easy to pack, and don't feel bulky if worn as a cover-up.
Jenny's original designs interpret classic patterns and motifs in fresh ways, which makes her foutas equally at home in modern and traditional environments.
About The Grommet
The Grommet is a highly curated online marketplace and launch platform for products of great utility, style or invention that haven't hit the big-time yet. The Grommet seeks out these unique products, carefully tests them, and produces a video review of each one telling the story behind its creation. The Grommet is rooted in the philosophy of Citizen Commerce whereby regular people form the commerce experience by suggesting products that reflect their values and interests. Citizen Commerce turns the typical top down retailer approach sideways, encourages global product innovation from small producers, and satisfies the consumer's need to know the stories behind and origins of favorite products. The company was also just named one of the hottest sites of 2013 by Internet Retailer. For more information, visit http://www.TheGrommet.com.

Hello friends and welcome to Food-a-licious Friday, a "I hope I can add 2-3 recipes a month" kind of series :) Our food and recipes contributor, Erin, is back this month sharing a yummy side dish or appetizer that would be perfect to share this holiday season. It's great if you are hosting or if you are in need of a dish to share at a party. Check out Erin's recipe for Buffalo Chicken Dip.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
4 boneless chicken breasts, about 2 to 3 pounds
12 ounce bottle of Franks Red Hot Sauce
8 oz of cream cheese
12 or 13 oz jar of Blue Cheese dressing, found in produce section
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1. Boil or bake chicken. Cool until it can be handled and chop into bite sized pieces.
2. Place chicken in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Pour entire bottle of hot sauce over chicken and toss until chicken is completely coated
3. In a medium saucepan, melt cream cheese over medium heat. Once melted, add dressing and combine. Pour over chicken and spread to cover all of it.
4. Top with grated cheese.
5. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and it is bubbly.
This dip goes wonderful with chips, crackers, carrots, or celery. My preference is Tostitos Scoops. They just hold so much dip!
There are a few other ways you can make this. It goes great in a crock pot. Just dump everything in and turn in on low. Be sure your chicken is cooked first.
You could also mix the chicken, hot sauce, and cream cheese mixture together. Fill the Tostitos Scoops with the mixture. Top with a little bit of cheese and pop them in the oven until the cheese is melted.
I hope this recipe becomes a favorite with your friends and family. I promise you that if they love Buffalo Wings, they will love this dip. Enjoy!
{Crafty Auntie}

The Bromato Project - [Tips to Improve] Series
Szaboka89 replied to Szaboka89's topic in Tanks MediaThanks for your comment, @Archaic_One. We don't make these videos to substitute any of the aforementioned content providers, or really anyone in your Subscriptions list. This is our take on trying to add to the game in a different style and narrative. You either like our concept and stay with us, or stick with your everyday YouTubers -- your call. Also, just because a Unicum player creates videos, doesn't necessarily mean they're doing it right. Personal experience. In case you get to watch the video, I hope you can take something away from it.

The Bromato Project - [Tips to Improve] Series
Szaboka89 posted a topic in Tanks MediaHey guys, Let me introduce you to a collaboration with my dear friend @Alabastrom, where our goal is to create educational videos for games we think we can play better than a fuegian steamer duck. We call this endeavour The Bromato Project. Don't ask why. This first installment of our World of Tanks video series called Tips to Improve features an 8k damage battle in the Bat-Chat 25t on Abbey, where we showcase camo and bush mechanics... and a couple of memes to top it off. We're basing these videos off of TheRiisingSun's work, so if you've ever watched his videos, our ones will be particularly similar in style. For a reason. All credits are in the video description. We really hope you're gonna like it! Appreciate your time! We'd love to hear what you think! We desperately want to listen to the community to improve on our videos, so please let us know how we could bring our videos closer to perfection. Also if we reach a hundred subs, we can give our channel a cool little URL, which is something we could use in the meantime.

Szaboka89 replied to Szaboka89's topic in ShenanigansI'm just bumping this thread up in the sidebar. Anyway, thanks for all the positive comments, good luck to everyone!
Crew Training Decisions (2nd Skill)
Szaboka89 posted a topic in Core Skills & Mechanics DiscussionHey Wotlabsians, I have a question I need assistance with. When my crew reaches 100% on their second skill, I almost always have BiA as 1st skill, and repairs (for heavies) or camouflage (for mediums and lights) as 2nd skill for everyone at that point. What I almost always do here is retrain my crew by keeping BiA and dropping repair/camo for things like Sixth Sense, Situational Awareness, Snapshot and Smooth Ride (on heavies let's say) or stuff that work from 100% proficiency. The main reason I'm doing this is because I want to churn out every last drop of my gun handling. I'm playing a lot of Russian tenks where my thinking tells me that the gun needs that extra bit of love. Is this totally bad practice, and should I just keep Repairs for all those 4 second track repair times, or is this something that goodies do as well? I salute you all for your constructive input!

Completion Spreadsheet for T-44-100 Mission Marathon
Szaboka89 posted a topic in ShenanigansHey Wotlabsians! I created this handy little spreadsheet to monitor your daily progress in the up-and-coming T-44-100 Mission Marathon. Yeah, I love creating spreadsheets. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1apwR5Y6YYJMcuVNCsZQ-CDd5uyWjlZXWGz01l23sy14/edit How it Works You input your current damage and kill count to the spreadsheet for all the nations, which adds them all up, and tells you whether you've fulfilled the required average for that day. It also tells you how many days of advantage you have, should you progress faster; or disadvantage, respectively. How to Use 1.) Create a Copy of the Spreadsheet by going into the File menu and choosing Make a Copy. (You'll need to be logged in to your Google account to do this.) 2.) At the end of each day, go to your Missions panel in-game and input your current Damage and Kills into the spreadsheet by nation. +.) If you're buying a token, you can input 150.000 damage and 150 kills to the appropriate nation's column. This is a tool for those who like numbers and would like to visualize their progress with the Mission Marathon. I hope some of you guys will find it useful.
Mods not working?
Szaboka89 replied to Wh1pst3r's topic in Addon DiscussionWhat's happening here is that when I install XVM (I tried vanilla XVM and QB's version), upon ending a battle, there's a chance that my screen will freeze for 10-60 seconds. I've also reinstalled the game just today to my SSD, fresh new, cleared cache and everything -- still happens. I guess XVM 6.3.0 might be buggy for now. Also noticed when I enable ATS and BRR in Active Dossier Uploader, the game will hang on the "Synchronozing whatever" screen upon entering the garage. Solution: Vanilla Tenks
Tips for smooth (mouse) aiming?
Szaboka89 replied to Sexy_Dave's topic in Metagame DiscussionWhen you watch replays, things like aiming and zooming are smoothed out. It looks very cool, but it's just the replays afaik. The other day I found this Mouse Acceleration Fix which cancels out any mouse acceleration introduced by Windows. You might want to give it a try if you have mouse issues. I set my mouse to the lowest possible DPI value for WoT, and I tend to amp it up a bit for work.
@ChaosGod I believe these camos should at some point be obtainable in one of the future Campaigns. So definitely go for it, they look absolutely lovely imo. They also give +50HP to your engine! Kappa. Shoutout to player MrMedvig for the T34 screens!
All the tanks with the Creeper camo I've come accross so far looked amazing! I have it on a few of my tanks myself, I love 'em all. I just asked in my ex-clan for a screenshot of the T34, I will get back to you on that. Until then, here's my Creeper CDC for your viewing pleasure.
Thank you for taking the time to write all this down! When Tilt hits the fan, it's very easy to lose control of my emotions. As a wanna-be-better player, I will certainly try out these methods. Thanks!

I got here Tuesday and it's been two very full days of organizing my panels, and finishing up last minute details to make sure it all runs smoothly. I think we're gonna be okay (I sure hope those aren't famous last words). The fans started arriving early today, and it was fun to play 'who's for Twilight, and who's for Mary Kay?' (There's a Mary Kay convention going on at the same time, so we're filling the Sheraton).
Registration opened at 3pm, and the lines were MASSIVE. I haven't heard of any fights breaking out or anything, so I really hope all is going as smoothly as it looks like it is. I met with my
chairs and panelists, and I think we're all ready for the events of tomorrow. I haven't finished my adaptation presentation yet... but meh... details. At this point I can totally wax on without notes...right? Right.
I've just come back from the welcome reception and parts of that were UBER fun. The energy at the beginning was infectious. It's always good during these events to take a step back, pause, breathe, and look around at what we've put together. I started towards the Lone Star Ballroom tonight, where the welcome reception was, and was greeted with tons of cheers. Music was pounding, the TwiCon logo was all over the ballroom, people were hugging, laughing, jumping up and down, and sporting SO much Twilight gear. I haven't seen this kind of mania since the London premiere in December!
It started with the members of the Hillywood spoofs coming out, in character (Edward, Bella, Jasper and Alice) and they re-enacted moments of Twilight, but applied them to the TwiCon audience ("Don't worry, Jasper, you won't hurt the audience"). Cute. They were so well-dressed, and stayed in character uber well, it was a lot of fun; like a Saturday Night Live sketch, but TwiCon Day One Live :)
The middle bit dragged, but it had all of the necessary information needed at a big convention, and I particularly enjoyed Kaleb Nation's video about not asking actors creepy questions, and keeping the stalking to a minimum. Fun.
The best bit was the Evil Iguana spoof of the ballet studio fight scene in Twilight. It was hysterical! I'll link it as soon as it's up. HYSTERICAL. First of all, Alice was played by a dude and just took it to the enth degree; it was hysterical. "It's going to happen Edward, I've seen it" and burrying Edward's head in 'her' bosom. Oh so funny... and Carlisle constantly referring to the fact that "I'm a doctor..." in a cocky, very un-Carlisle way, but in a very hysterical way.
More soon, but there's part one! I'm off to the VIP reception on the top floor, and last minute touch ups on details for tomorrow.
Watch this space! And follow my Twitter too; tons of us are Twittering about TwiCon... but I think I'm from a slightly different perspective, if you know what I mean...
More pictures soon too... they take FOREVER to load here!

London, UK: PowerVR, a division of Imagination Technologies, has announced the public availability of SDKs for PowerVR MBX development under OpenGL ES.
The first two public SDKs, to be launched at 3GSM 2005, are for PC emulation and Pocket PC (including the Dell Axim X50v).
Said Nicolas Thibieroz, developer relations manager, PowerVR: "";These SDKs will enable developers, professionals and enthusiasts alike, to actively create content using PowerVR MBX technology. This is just the first in a series of public PowerVR SDKs and developers wishing to target OMAP and SH series processors can write their 3D code using OpenGL ES on PCs with the PC Emulation SDK, which will allow content to port directly onto their target platforms."";
The PC Emulation SDK is an important development tool provided by PowerVR to allow access to an easy PowerVR MBX development environment. It enables developers to evaluate and target all PowerVR MBX variants without the need for actual hardware. This PC Emulation SDK gives access to extra MBX features such as texture combiners and vertex programs, which can be found on current and upcoming MBX devices.
The Pocket PC SDK allows developers to write 3D-accelerated content for Pocket PC devices like the Dell Axim X50v. The Pocket PC SDK gives access to PowerVR MBX features as well as extensions (including extra multi-texturing capabilities, DOT3 per-pixel lighting and PVRTC™ compression).
<b>Inside the PowerVR MBX Public SDK</b>
The SDK includes a wide portfolio of tools such as the PowerVR Texture compressor and compression library, a 3D Studio Max exporter, a VGP Vertex Program compiler with detailed performance information (clock cycle counts) and an extensive tools library (supporting fixed point maths, matrix and vertex maths, tangent space calculation, geometry import, etc.)
As well as access to advanced OpenGL ES 3D hardware functionality the SDK provides full details and specifications of the PowerVR MBX specific OpenGL-ES extensions, which open up features such as PVRTC™ texture compression and vertex programs.
The demos included in the SDK feature examples of a wide range of effects enabled by PowerVR MBX. These include: dynamic reflections; different texture filter modes; projected shadow textures; Polybump technology; spherical harmonics lighting with VGP; physics based particle effects; cell-shading; multiple differently coloured spotlights; morphing (in combination with multi-texturing); and matrix skinned characters in combination with DOT3 per pixel lighting.

The world is facing a tragedy as many species of animals, reptiles and insects face extinction.
There is one peculiar species that is reversing the trend and evolution has failed to put the "Sword of Damocles" over their heads, The Spoofers!
In fact this rare species is multiplying by the second and failing a comet collision or the return of the T Rex, it seems that this very strange breed will continue to thrive.
The writer of this pinnacle Spoof and expert anthropologist, Professor Jaggedone WAN-KIN-DIK, decided to send his cockroach infiltration army (CIA) into Spoof headquarters to find out the secrets of this incestuous bunch of lunatics and madmen (muy loco).
Top CIA reporter, Daddy Pterodactyl Smithers-Jones, six-legged it into to the editors office, sat on the authors desk, Mark his name, and asked the following questions:
"Mark, why is it when other species are becoming extinct that the Spoof fraternity is thriving?"
Answer: "Because I pay them well" (cough, cough)
"Mark, is it true that when one of the Spoofers pass away you pay for his or her funeral?"
Answer: "Bollocks, our Spoofers never pass away, they just change their alias's, while I spread their ashes? They are immortal." (cough, cough)
"Mark, what is the secret of Spoof immortality?"
Answer: "booze, booze, (ask Skoob), sex, sex, (ask Colonel Juan) drugs, drugs, (ask JO under his bridge in Amsterdam), rock & roll (ask Frankie J he's the oldest swinger in town) ciggies, ciggies, (ask Morse he's on a chaingang-banger)!"
CIA special reporter and nearly extinct, Daddy Pterodactyl bla-bla, immediately informed the National Geographic Society about these historical revelations and maybe the Spoof can play a key role in saving these endangered species, in other words:
Immortality = Pump em up with plenty of booze, sex (sorry I dont qualify, I'm married), Drugs, rock and roll and ciggies, that'll save them!

A man who previously appeared on Hoarders is looking for a home for his hoard, which is not what you'd expect (i.e. feces, dead things, or trash). Instead, it's culturally, nostalgically, and potentially even monetarily valuable things: antique arcade games plus Walt Disney World and other theme park artifacts.
Randy Senna appeared on Inside Edition recently and besides admitting to his hoarding ("I am the good hoarder. Just because you hoard things doesn't mean you live in filth and have all kinds of dead animals and buckets of urine. My hoarding classification comes from the fact that I have accumulated so much that it is life-encumbering"), he had a plea.
"If I were to find to the right venue where a museum could be created–whether it's through a large organization like Disney or Universal Studios, or through a state or government agency–I would donate everything … to that cause," he said. After 14 years in Wildwood, New Jersey, his awesome collection in a former Woolworths is still not open to the public due to never-resolved issues with the city. Randy described his memorabilia as "priceless to me and to most people who appreciate Americana."
Randy was featured on the 2011 episode of Hoarders that I went behind the scenes for Playboy. Prior to Hoarders, Randy ran a boardwalk arcade, but closed it to take care of his parents.
"I need to get this stuff out before I go," he told Inside Edition. "I need to get it set up so it can live on. So that once it gets donated to the museum, then I can set it up for them, document it for them, and the history of it. And then I'm free to depart."
Hopefully, that heartbreaking plea will reach the right person somewhere.

New Haven, Conn. - Despite a hat trick from from sophomore's Courtney Cacace (Brookfield, Conn.) and Kaitlin D'Agostino (Hamden, Conn.), the Albertus Magnus College women's lacrosse team came up short at home, 9-7, to in-state foe the University of Saint Joseph's (Conn.) in a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) battle on Monday evening at Celentano Field.
FINAL SCORE: Saint Joseph's (Conn.) 9 | Albertus Magnus 7
RECORDS: Albertus Magnus (4-11, 0-10) | Saint Joseph's (Conn.) (4-9, 1-9)
D'Agostino started things off for the Falcons scoring her first of the game, off a nice feed from Alex Chan (Monroe, N.Y.), to give the hosts the early edge, 1-0, less than 45 seconds in. Five minutes later, Saint Joseph's (Conn.) went on a 4-0 scoring run to take over the lead, 4-1, but sophomore Sabrina Pohlig (West Palm Beach, Fl.) cut the visitors' lead in half, 4-2, with her seventh of the season.
Despite outscoring the Blue Jays, 2-1, over the final 10 minutes of the half, the Falcons would trail by one, 5-4, at the half.
The Blue Jays opened the second half with a 3-1 run to take an 8-5 lead over Albertus before back-to-back goals from Cacace and D'Agostino brought the score to within one, 8-7, with 9:21 remaining. However, Saint Joseph's sealed the conference win, 9-7, after scoring a goal at the 4:29 mark.
- Albertus Magnus - Lexi Fenn (L, 4-11): 9 Goals-Against | 7 Saves | 16 Shots
- Saint Joseph's (Conn.) - Emily Bourassa (W, 4-9): 7 Goals-Against | 7 Saves | 14 Shots
- The Blue Jays edged the Falcons in shots, 23-22, and in ground balls, 30-27.
- Along with her three goals, Cacace collected a team-best six ground balls as well as tallied four draws and two caused turnovers.
- Charlotte Eberhardt and Hannah Lemek paced the visitors' offense with four goals each while Eberhardt posted a game-high seven ground balls.
- Lemek also led the Blue Jays in draws with three.
- Saint Joseph's (Conn.) finished 4-of-7 in free position shots and was 15-of-23 in clear attempts.
- Albertus Magnus was 1-of-6 in free position shots and 17-of-19 in clears.
- The Falcons won the draw control battle, 12-6, including a team-high four from Cacace and Robyn Grimshaw (Waterbury, Conn.).
- Lexie Fenn (Oakville, Conn.) and Cacace led the defensive unit with two caused turnovers.
- Eberhardt collected five of the Blue Jays six caused turnovers.
The women's lacrosse team closes out the 2018 season with a home non-conference game against Mt. St. Vincents on Thursday, April 26. Prior to Thursday's non-conference against the Dolphins, the women's lacrosse team will be honoring its three member senior class - Michele Guerrera (Watertown, Conn.), Alex Chan (Monroe, N.Y.) and Robyn Grimshaw (Waterbury, Conn.).

Packet Boats
Packet boats were steamers that carried goods and people up and down the rivers until the 1930s, when trucks and trains took over most of the hauling. Packet boats had four decks. From bottom to top they were: the main deck, which housed the boiler room, engine room and cargo space; the passenger deck; the crew's quarters; and the pilot house.
Packet boats carried cargo, mail, and passengers to the small towns along the Illinois River. Most of the immigrants who settled this area arrived on a packet boat. Steamboat traffic began on the Illinois in 1828 with runs from St. Louis, Missouri, to Pekin, Illinois. The next year they also continued on to Peoria, upriver of which there were no settlements. By 1840, there were ten riverboats regularly running on the Illinois. The packet business spurred other businesses in the towns they served. Hotels such as the Beehive in Havana were built to board packet passengers.
Packet boats on the Illinois River included the Betsy Ann (built 1899), City of Peoria, the Golden Eagle,
the Bald Eagle,
and the Grey Eagle;
the last three were members of the Eagle Packet Company fleet. All were stern wheelers.
Excursion Boats
By the end of the nineteenth century, some stern and side wheelers were excursion boats, traveling the rivers to entertain both the people on board and those in the towns where the boats docked.
As an excursion boat arrived, it played its steam calliope.
Many older residents on the Illinois River today remember, as children, going to meet the excursion boats at the docks. Excursion boats offered weekend day picnics, dancing to live music, and gambling.
The East Saint Louis, which held 3,200 passengers, was owned by Havana residents Lester and James Robinson from 1915 to 1924. They and two men from Peoria, Oscar Moore and Edward Cody, refurbished it in Havana. It was a stern wheeler that had five names as it changed hands over the years, finally retiring in 1934.
Other excursion boats on the Illinois were the Cape Girardeau,
the Saint Paul, the Verne Swain, a side wheeler that had been a packet boat in West Virginia before coming to Peoria, and the Majestic,
which burnt to the waterline at Havana. The biggest tragedy on the Illinois River was the sinking of the Columbia
at 2:00 a.m. on July 5, 1918, with a loss of eighty passengers, most residents of Pekin who were on a holiday outing. It may have hit a snag or sandbar and tried to back away, which caused it to break in half. This accident essentially killed the excursion business on the Illinois River.
were popular until the introduction of silent movies in the 1920s. Musicians and actors performed for passengers and townspeople. There were vaudeville acts and melodramas as well as musical acts. It was the only live entertainment of its kind in many of the small river towns.
