The Marriage – Love at sight, fear at play
In this paper I intend to demonstrate how the emotions of love and fear are being represented and/or are present in the semiotically abstract game The Marriage (Humble 2006) in order to contribute to questions of presentation and representation of emotions in games. The thesis to be argued is that the representation of love in the game is only possible through its phenomenological absence (Sartre 2003) and the presence of its emotional opposite, fear, on the level of the gameplay experience. I suggest taking two perspectives on the game which have methodological implications for the argument to be made. The first perspective requires seeing the game as representing something else, the implicit seeing-as of a simulation. The second perspective requires to see the game as such, as an autonomous game object (Aarseth 2011). Following the first perspective I will show that a metaphorically structured concept of love (Möring forthcoming) is represented on the game's semiotic layer as well as the game's structural layer since the player's essential task in the game is to create situations of closeness between the game tokens against and simultaneously through the structure of the game in order to ensure the game's continuation. Following the second perspective I will argue that the necessity of the game's continuation is manifest in the game's agonistic structure which on an experiential level is present as fear in terms of the fear of failing (Möring forthcoming). From this perspective the player has to avoid situations of distance in the game. I will thus argue that love is being represented by the game according to the first perspective but fear is present in the game and more essential to the game object following the second perspective. Consequently, the presence of fear becomes a requirement for the representation of love.

The powerful kernel from OXone (WCGMK)
The OXone kernel is the elementary component of the platform, quasi the virtual operating system of all applications. The OXone modeling kernel (Geometric Modeling Kernel) takes over the geometry description and representation, which is used for 3D representation in the browser. In the field of visual learning through interpretation of 3D files, a class of algorithms has been developed that also make use of the kernel.
The Heart
The OXone kernel takes care of all graphical arithmetic operations. In addition it combines different functions and operates as the engine of the entire application. The kernel and all other arithmetic operations are executed on the server side. In data exchange with the browser, only reduced data necessary for display between client and server is sent.

text: NOW THAT WAS BRIGHT….With all of the headlines and commotion about strict security at this year's political conventions you would think that someone would have thought twice about the decision to place boxes of Gillette razors in each of the welcome bags handed out with credentials to delegates and press types in Boston. Boston-based Gillette reportedly spent over a million dollars on the product placement, only to have: a) their products unused as all of the razors were confiscated when convention-goers attempted to pass through security; and b) their name taken in vain repeatedly because the already-long security lines became even more backed-up due to the razor snafu. Might we suggest substituting a nice moisturizer instead next time?

In a tolerant society how do we deal with intolerance, how should we deal with intolerance?
Moral Maze on Islamic terrorism last night. Where are the Muslims on the street demonstrating against ISIS, demonstrating against the atrocities in Paris last Friday night? When Muslims come to the West they should discard their cultural baggage. There is no support in the Koran for their Medieval ways. This from a Muslim academic.
Very valid point made at Europe is Kaput (discussion between Yanis Varoufakis and Slavoj Zizek, later joined by Julian Assange), in the West we must underscore our liberal values, we cannot allow ourselves to be cowed by the knee-jerk cry of Islamaphobia. We must oppose bastardisation of women, forced marriage, hate crimes, honour killings.
Talking to an Iranian friend today, a Muslim.
A man and a woman in his shop. He politely asked why was the woman dressed the way she was, full burka, tiny slit for her eyes, please show me, here is a copy of The Koran? The man became abusive. My friend pointed out the man was in his shop, and he had asked a polite question. Man became more abusive. My friend told them they were a disgrace to all Muslims.
He had an imam from a mosque, an ignorant, uneducated fellow. Why do you not hang a sign outside your mosque condemning ISIS? Cannot, the man replied, the mosque would be bombed.
In Iran, in Turkey, there are academic centres of learning for The Koran. The clerics practising in UK, are illiterate, backward peasants from backward village cultures, who bring their ignorance with them.
On Radio 4 this evening a discussion, Paris: Could it happen here? Muslim extremists are not the fringe of Islamic culture in England.
Saudi Arabia is a main funder of terrorism, an exporter of a perversion of Islam.
We can stand by and do nothing about Isis. If we do, Isis will expand.
We need as Jeremy Corbyn has said, to cut off the funding. That means Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. We also have to deal with the oil from Isis finding its way onto the black market. These are necessary, but not sufficient conditions to defeat Isis.
Isis is a de facto country. We will not defeat Isis as David Cameron in his simplistic thinking seems to believe by bombing them, bombing is making the situation worse and bringing in more recruits. We will only defeat Isis, by US, France, Germany and Russia, working together to defeat Isis on the ground, then occupation for many years until the democratic structures of the country are rebuilt, as we did with Nazi Germany.
We must remove Assad. Assad has killed more Syrians than Isis. It was repression by Assad that led to Isis.
We must not make the mistake of Iraq, where US contractors were brought in to rebuild the country, leaving Iraqis unemployed and penniless. Syrians must rebuild Syria.
The vote in the House of Commons on Syria, must be a free vote, with each MP free to make his or her own mind up, not told how to vote by Party Leaders.

James McAvoy is the Beast on a 'Glass' motion poster
Next year, Universal Pictures is inviting audiences a return to the mind of M. Night Shyamalan with his latest, "Glass". A sequel to both "Unbreakable" and "Split," "Glass" has today debuted a stylish motion poster in advance of the film's new trailer, which will arrive this Thursday, October 11th. Check back with Moviebill to watch it as soon as it becomes available.
James McAvoy is The Beast. Watch the new trailer for #GlassMovie Thursday. pic.twitter.com/1U4uwfjALp
— Glass (@GlassMovie) October 8, 2018
It's likely that this "Glass" motion poster is the first of three as the new film also features the return of Bruce Willis' David Dunn and Samuel L. Jackson's Elijah Price from Shyamalan's 2001 thriller "Unbreakable".
Following the conclusion of "Split," "Glass" finds Dunn pursuing Crumb's superhuman figure in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.
"Glass" also features the return of "Unbreakable" stars Spencer Treat Clark and Charlayne Woodard as Dunn's son and Price's mother, respectively, as well as "Split" star Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke. The new film will also feature Golden Globe Award winner Sarah Paulson in an all-new role as a psychiatrist attempting to cure Dunn, Price and Crumb of their "delusions".
"Glass" is produced by Shyamalan and Blumhouse Production's Jason Blum, who also produced the writer/director's previous two films for Universal. They produce again with Ashwin Rajan and Marc Bienstock, and Steven Schneider, who executive produces.
"Glass" hits the big screen starting January 18, 2019.

Implosion of the World Trade Center and Building 7, Search for the Truth

What do you mean the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings imploded and building 7? Are you crazy? Do you understand the ramifications of that statement? I'd heard rumors. It is horrific and difficult to believe – incredulous is the word I am looking for which means: suspicious, and unbelieving.
"Couldn't have happened," I said to myself. "What is this, a nation of crazy people?" It is horrendous and beyond comprehension! http://www.ae911truth.org.
I heard someone use the term "coup d'état" – pronounced as [koo-da-ta']. "A sudden overthrow of a government usually by a small group of persons in or previously in positions of authority." www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary.
No plane hit building 7, then why did it go down in its own footprint? We were told the fires in the building caused the collapse. But think - its 47 stories tall! The fires in the building were not enough heat to make it collapse.
Please read the following information on the Internet titled, "You only believe the official 911 story because you don't know the official 911 story. http://tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/911-facts/48-911-commentary/20581-you-only-believe-the-official-911-story-because-you-dont-know-the-official-911-story-.html.
What does bother me is why it took the Bush people 443 days to permit an investigation? It was conducted by pressure from the families of the deceased.
We all know two planes crashed into the buildings on September 11, 2001. What we did not know until 10 years later, was why the buildings went down. The following article is my documented account of hours researching books I've read, folks I've personally talked to, and countless hours on the Internet and in the library.
This story is NOT about the planes that flew into the twin towers, but about the plot that masterminded the implosion of three buildings in New York City. Why was active thermitic material discovered in dust from the 9/11 catastrophe?
http://911research.wtc7.net/essays/thermite/explosive_residues.html. This is a military grade weapon. Where did it come from?
My original thought was to write a short story about some of the foreign companies who worked in the towers. As my research progressed I became alarmed at what I had uncovered. Where was the explosive made that was found on the steel from the buildings? Who ordered it placed into the buildings?
Firemen know that high-rise steel buildings more than 15 stories do not collapse. Hundreds of severe fires have been in many a building and NOT once has it caused a collapse. www.WTC7.net/buildingfires.html. In 1945 a B-25 bomber flying in fog crashed into the Empire State Building. It did not collapse the steel structure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building#1945_plane_crash.
I came across information called "Architects & Engineers: Solving the Mystery of WTC 7. It's a 15-minute documentary. http://www.ae911truth.org/en/home.html.
I discovered during my research that there was an 'active thermitic material discovered in the dust from the WTC.' What does it prove? http://911research.wtc7.net/essays/thermite/explosive_residues.html.
Danny Jowenko, an explosive expert in Europe and president of Exposieve DemolitieBV, stated, "It is a controlled demolition." Richard Gage, an architect and engineer for 23 years stated, "It could not have been brought down by office fires as found in the Government Commission 9/11 Report."
Dr. Stephen Jones, Physicist and Archaeometrist – calls "for a serious investigation of the hypothesis that WTC 7 and the Twin Towers were brought down, not just by impact damage and fires, but through the use of pre-positioned cutter-charges." This is a File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat and may take a couple minutes to load.
I would suggest taking the time to read the following. "Mysteries of the Twin Towers - A Survey of Available Evidence on the Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers." http://www.seattle911visibilityproject.org/rwtcpdf.pdf.
Many people were warned ahead of time? Sound preposterous? If this is true, and I am sure it is, who actually knew that the planes would fly into the Twin Towers? http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/warnings.html.
You can view the video on the mysterious deaths of eyewitness at 9/11- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvay28lZiHU&feature=related
William Rodriguez had been employed at the WTC for 19 years had committed suicide, wrote Richard Roepke of 'Veterans Today.' He was in charge of maintenance and safety of the stairwells in the North Tower. His testimony was left out of the official record. He said explosions were going off in the basement and recalled seeing men dressed in white HazMat suits working in the building. The "9/11 Commission Report" left out all this important information. Why?
http://coupmedia.org/911/shocking-9-11-disclosure-2508 – Contains a list of all who die suspiciously.
Now we turn to the witnesses who began dying unexpectedly. Danny Jawenko, stated that it was 'a controlled demolition.' He died in a car accident.
Of those eye witnesses' who gave their story we notice four suicide; one murder; death down fight of steps; airplane crash; another died of a strange disease at 53 years of age; car accident; a heart attack; two people died in a train wreck, included was the General who ordered the fighter jets on 9/11; and the babysitter for Marvin Bush family, crushed under her car in Bush driveway. I don't know about you, but I find this all very strange.
In his book, "Why Buildings Fall Down" – Matthys Levy said, "It was very much like a controlled demolition because the building fell almost vertically down as though someone had deliberately set it to fall vertically downward.
"City In The Sky, The Rise and Fall of the WTC," James Glanz and Eric Lipton state, " . . . the engineers knew that the thinnest steel had been used at the top of the buildings, where the planes had hit and the collapses began." On page 331, he states, "In the case of the WTC. Where nearly three thousand people died, the investigation began as an afterthought. A federal agency with little interest in investigations was in charge, and the main cache of physical evidence was being sent away to be melted so that it could be gotten out of the way."
Reading the book, "Inside the 9/11 Plot, And Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop it" – I quote from page 335, "Someday, students of history will ask: "How was it possible that a man living in caves in a remote, backward country was able to declare war on the most powerful nation on earth?"
What does "The Ground Truth" – "The Untold Story of America Under Attack on 9/11," tell us New York Times journalist Philip Shenon states, "No one doubted that it was the families' unrelenting lobbying that had forced President Bush to reverse himself and agree to an independent investigation of 9/11."
Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed [The Institute for Policy Research & Development] in his book, "The War on Freedom – How and Why America was Attacked September 11, 2001" writes on page 81, quoting Wesley Wark a Canadian Intelligence Expert - "The United States has drawn a veil of silence over the issue of intelligence failure."
Do I have an answer? No, but I'm hoping that someone will come forward and tell us the truth. Now, we return to my first question. Why was thermitic material, a grade one military weapon, discovered in the dust from the WTC?

Manuel Pariente recently shot a 100-pounder in Botswana with Johan Calitz Safaris, guided by professional hunter Willy McDonald. The big elephant's tusks weighed 104 and 99 pounds making him the biggest tusker to be taken in Botswana since elephant hunting reopened there in 1992.
In the same week in early April, another hunter with Johan Calitz Safaris dropped a 90 pounder with its opposite tusk broken off at "only" 77 pounds. That's two of the biggest jumbo ever to be killed in Botswana and serves as yet another marker that Johan Calitz is operating in the very best areas of Botswana for elephant.
The greatest trophy in the world, not just Africa, is a 100 pound elephant, in my opinion. To give you some idea of their scarcity, even in the "champagne era" of safari hunting in the 1920s, the future king of England, then the Price of Wales, failed to shoot a 100 pounder. (He stepped on a twig on the final stalk and spooked a potential 100 pounder, never to be seen again.)
Robert Ruark took a 110 pounder in the Northern Frontier District of Kenya in the 1950s, but the NFD still held a lot of big tuskers in those days.
Even in Ruark's day, 100 pounders were rare, but today they're shot once every few years. A Russian client shot a 100-pounder in 2009 in Zimbabwe along the border of Botswana.
Congratulations to Manuel Pariente and Willy McDonald, and of course Johan Calitz, the dean of elephant outfitters.

WASHINGTON — Who knows who leaked two pages of Donald Trump's tax return.
But the leak, such as it is, does no harm to the president. It shows he actually paid income taxes — at least in 2005. Whether the president had paid income taxes recently had actually been something of an open question.
The journalist who published two pages from Trump's 2005 tax return said he doesn't know who provided the documents; he got them in the mail.
"Yes," Pulitzer Prize-winner David Cay Johnston replied when asked if he thought the two pages, which show Trump paid $38 million in taxes on more than $150 million in income that year, could have been sent by the president himself.
"Donald has a long history of leaking things about himself and doing it indirectly and directly," Johnston said. "So it's a possibility."
He published the returns on his website DCReport.org.
The White House has hit back hard against the publication, calling it illegal in a pre-emptive statement Tuesday night. Then President Trump himself weighed in Wednesday morning on Twitter, suggesting Johnston wasn't being forthright.
"Does anybody really believe that a reporter, who nobody ever heard of, 'went to his mailbox' and found my tax returns? @NBCNews FAKE NEWS!" tweeted the President.
The White House has not responded to a request for additional comment.
Leak leaves many questions about Trump's income sources
Trump didn't mention that The New York Times, when it reported Trump claimed $916 million in losses in 1995, which could have sheltered him from tax bills for many years, similarly received those more politically damaging documents in the mail.
The tax shelter created by those losses could create for some interesting return if Trump officially or the mysterious leaker were to provide return for other years.
Additionally, the details of Trump's return would be instructive, too, answering questions about his charitable giving, if any, specifics about the losses he claimed — $105 million in 2005 despite his tax bill, and more.
It is clear from evidence in lawsuits that there are years in which Trump paid no federal income taxes — something he bragged about during a debate with Hillary Clinton.
"That makes me smart," he said on the debate stage, although he later clarified that he had paid income taxes.
Trump had long said he wouldn't release his income taxes because he is under some kind of long-standing federal audit. More recently, aides have said he might not release them at all. After all, he won the election.
But as Jeffrey Toobin pointed out Tuesday night the questions about Trump's tax return have only grown more fascinating as questions have arisen about his campaign and business ties to Russia.
Trump has denied current business connections to Russia, but he also denied the campaign aides had any contact with Russians in the lead-up to the campaign.
That sentiment was echoed by Edward Kleinbard, the Johnson Professor of Law and Business at USC Gould School of Law and a former chief of staff at the Joint Committee on Taxation.
"Only complete returns can resolve the questions swirling around his alleged financial obligations and sources of income, such as Russian oligarchs or other sovereign countries," Kleinbard said.

A refreshing tangy-sweet soup is a nice way to conclude an outdoor summer meal of grilled chicken or fish. Just a bit of salt heightens the flavor of all the ingredients. If your honeydew melons need sweetening, add extra honey.
How to Make It
Combine 1 cup honeydew melon, 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, fresh lime juice, and honey in a blender; process until smooth. Add remaining melon and salt; process until smooth. Transfer melon mixture to a bowl; cover and chill at least 1 hour. Ladle about 3/4 cup soup into each of 6 bowls; garnish each serving with 1 thin lime slice and 1 thinly sliced mint leaf, if desired.

The same client was so impressed that he requested an impressive outdoor entertainment area to compliment the luxurious Olympic-size swimming pool. Both brightness and image quality were of equal importance, so Digital Projection's single-chip dVision 30-1080p, 9 feet wide projector with 6,800 lumen, 7500:1 contrast dVision was used. Pefectly broadcasting entertainment, day and night.

Nothing's there that isn't without fences. There are jurisdictions in spaces, jurisdictions beyond distances that can be imagined, abstract distances. Walk a mile, then think of a trillion miles and tell me that it is not both abstract and intangible. And there are fences there too, satellites and mechanical landers and roamers and trodders flying flags and screaming nationalities: Hoorrayyyy! We were here first, and the first thing we did was to put down a fence and nail our proprietorial signature on it. But why travel distances mortal you and I cannot even imagine, or if we try to, the limits of our imagination will snap like rubber bands in an idle boy's palms? Why go all that far? Look out the window and look up the sky. If you can, that is. If the fences already do not obliterate the sky, that is.
Put down that volume of poetry, forget the poems that yearn the freedom of the skies. There are enough of them littered about, and they've been feeding you erroneous and fanciful bilge all this while. Free skies. Freedom of the skies. The openness of the skies. Blah. Blah. Blah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ha. Ha. Ha. Bunkum. What a mirage. Send up a Mirage, and see how it tears up the sky. Kryuuuuumzz! Kryooooooooomzzzooomm! Send up a Mirage and watch the fences pop up in the skies. There will be, almost immediately, a counter Kryuuuuumzzzz!! Another menacing bird in flight, another one marking the fence.
Violate the fence at your own peril, whoever it is that wishes to violate that fence. Perhaps you cannot see the fence in those open skies but the fence there is, trespassers will be deemed trespassers and most often they will be prosecuted.
A kite cuts the sky, the pigeons fall away, that's how fences are carved in the skies. There are fences everywhere.
Often they are most insistent where you cannot see them. There is a fence between the caller on a phone and the receiver; it can be bridged, it can as easily be snapped. The throw of a switch and kooooooooon. Dead. The road in front of you has a fence. Yes, you've probably ridden it often at a hundred kilometres an hour, or crossed it zipper-speed, but a wire can get pulled across it. Or a barrier. Gone. Fenced. You're done. Or that river I sit across, gurgling away, furiously frothing. That river. You crossed it yesterday. Today it's a fence. Try stepping in; it will drown you, or sweep you away where you shan't surface alive. Or the mountain you see across the river. Beauteous, isn't it?
But what do you think it is if not a fence? What do you think lies beyond it? Why would you think they transgressed it? That mountain, it's a fence and we are fortunate it is. Or the land underlying that mountain. Plain. Flat. Arable. Fallow. Placid. But land. And you see no fence? You fool! Have you read your Mahabharata? Have you measured the plot you live on, if you are fortunate to have such a plot to live on? Or family. Hmm. No fences in family? Grow up. Then talk to me. Sexes. People. Provinces. Regions. Languages. Ethnicities. Races. Colours. Nations. And nations within nations. You think there are no fences? You think those are birds? You mean you cannot see a set of barbed things? We shall talk, if we do meet. On the other side.
What are they, not swallows
Do check again your lens
Hear me and try to follow
There's always, forever, a fence.

Happy Monday!
This evening has been a busy day with baseball games, homework, and of course just taking care of the house hold. I've realized that it's been awhile since I've done an inspiration and that it was time to share God's word. These last couple of months, I've been thinking about getting a laptop. I've been doing my blog on my tablet, which has been difficult at times and also prevents me from using my Nikon camera. We have a desktop that's not working that well, but I wanted a laptop for myself. I've been praying about this blog and that God use me in a mighty way and direct me. Well, my sister and my brother-in-love decided that they would visit me and they surprised me with a brand new laptop! It reminded me that God is our provider and there is no sense in worrying because he will certainly give you the desires of your heart. Keep the faith and continue to spend time with God and he will show you the answer or bless you with what you need. There's a lot going on in the world and we can drive ourselves crazy with the economy and everything else that is happening, but I want to let you know that our God is faithful and he will never leave you or forsake you.
Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus

Spending her internship in the housekeeping department of a hotel was not part of Helene Mould's master plan.
But the hospitality major decided to make the most of her experience "punching rooms" to ensure they met specification during the property's renovation.
"From this experience I learned how the operations side of the hotel worked, and it was very beneficial for my career," said Mould, now Regional Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Concord Hospitality Enterprises, where she oversees Concord's Mid-Atlantic Region, which spans from North Carolina to New York City.
During her lecture as part of the 2015-2016 Hospitality Management Executive Speaker Series, Mould advised students to be persistent when seeking an internship, keep an open mind when assigned responsibilities outside their comfort zone and keep learning whether starting out or well established in their career.
"Invest in yourself no matter how busy you are by taking advantage of training, network and learning opportunities," she said.
Mould joined Concord in 2008 as the Director of Sales & Marketing at the Renaissance Meadowlands, and has held executive positions within the company including Regional Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Corporate Director of Sales, and Area Director of Sales. The hotel management company has 84 hotels – with another 16 under construction – representing 19 different brands.
She concluded her presentation by explaining the value of a brand and offered examples of several leading hotel brand promotional videos.
"When you think of brand equity, the customer is critical part of the brand," she said. "You need to make sure you know your customer and their needs are met."

For what appears to be no other reason beyond This Is Texas, the Texas Supreme Court has agreed to hear a real head-scratcher about whether legally married gay couples should be entitled to the same marriage benefits that other legally married city employees enjoy.
The case arises out of Houston and was filed in 2013, after former Mayor Annise Parker decided to extend city-employee marriage benefits to gay couples who were legally married in other states. Two conservatives, Larry Hicks and Pastor Jack Pidgeon, argued this was a waste of taxpayer dollars and sued the City of Houston in attempt to keep the benefits from gay married couples.
But after the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges guaranteed marriage equality for all LGBT couples in June 2015, a judge tossed out the lawsuit. But those dogged taxpayers never gave up on the case, refusing to take no for an answer — even after the Texas Supreme Court originally declined to hear their appeal in September...on the basis of Obergefell.
Since then, however, the justices have apparently changed their minds. The court was presumably swayed to take up the case after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick filed an amicus brief pleading with the court to clear up that complicated question of whether marriage equality extends to equal marriage benefits.
"While the U.S. Supreme Court did recognize a right to same-sex marriage, there are a host of issues in that area of the law that remain unresolved," Paxton said in a statement last October. "I applaud Governor Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Patrick for their leadership in asking that state courts give serious consideration to these weighty, unresolved questions."

Support Our Journalism
For a preview of the type of arguments bound to take center stage in this case, it's perhaps best to review a dissenting opinion from Justice John Devine, filed in September at the time his colleagues first voted not to hear this case, which he believed was a mistake. Devine's reasoning as to why gay couples shouldn't get marriage benefits? Maybe the state thinks they don't contribute to "procreation." We'll let him explain in his own words:
"The State may well have believed that offering certain benefits to opposite-sex couples would encourage procreation within marriage. After all, benefits such as health insurance provide financial security as couples decide whether to have a child. An opposite-sex marriage is the only marital relationship where children are raised by their biological parents. In any other relationship, the child must be removed from at least one natural parent, perhaps two, before being adopted by her new parent(s). This does not diminish any child's inherent dignity, a fact the City presumably recognizes by extending benefits to their employees' children regardless of the employees' marital status. But it does explain why the State might choose to direct resources to opposite-sex couples."
For the record, Devine was alone in this opinion.
Oral arguments are scheduled for March 1.

September 21, 2017 (KHARTOUM) - The Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army-North (SPLM/A) led by Malik Agar said on Thursday that their forces have once again clashed with the Sudanese army in Blue Nile state.
- SPLM-N Agar spokesperson Mubarak Ardol (Courtesy photo)
"On 16 September, SPLA forces managed to repel again the (government) force that attacked our positions in Taga, Ingessana Hills area of the Blue Nile state, which is a strategic area, located about 40 miles from the state capital Ed Damazin," said Mubarak Ardol le SPLM-N AGar spokesperson.
Last week, SPLM-N Agar accused the government army of breaching a unilateral cessation of hostilities saying its troops attacked their positions in the Blue Nile state.
However, the Sudanese army denied the claim and accused the rebel group of attempting to spoil the visit of the Sudanese foreign minister to Washington for talks on the lift of sanctions and ways to enhance bilateral relations.
But Ardol reiterated his accusations saying the quick denial by the Sudanese army proves the attacks on their position.
He further stressed that they would not hesitate to inflict heavy losses on the government troops if they breach the cessation of hostilities.
The Sudanese army has been fighting the SPLM-N rebels in the Blue Nile and South Kordofan, also known as the Two Areas since 2011.
The SPLM-N is now divided into two factions: one led by Abdel Aziz al-Hilu and the led by Malik Agar. The rift emerged several months ago over the right of self-determination and other organisational issues.
Talks between the government and the Movement for a cessation of hostilities and humanitarian access are stalled since August 2016.

Now this is something for us to get excited about at Codec Moments, Square Enix and IO Interactive have announced that the Hitman beta will go live early next year… 12th February for PlayStation 4 and 19th February for PC. Why is this exciting? Partly because we're massive Hitman fans, you only need to check out our video/podcast that we made earlier this year to know this, but mainly because we've had the game on pre-order since March and it's about time we got hands on!
What is there in the Hitman beta? We know that the new game is going to be an even larger playground for assassination, but what do we get for what will be a stress test and gameplay fine tuning session? It looks like we're in for a tutorial mission – at least that's our supposition in the absence of any major details. What we do know is that we'll be playing as Agent 47 around 20 years ago in a top secret ICA recruitment and training facility, and find out how Diana Burnwood and 47 first meet. It's all intriguing for fleshing out some backstory, but really we just want to get into the new mechanics and playstyle, and that's hidden from us in the teaser trailer that's been released. It doesn't really matter what it is, we're just anxious to get more silent assassin action in our lives.
To get access to the Hitman beta you just need to pre-order the game from your favourite retailer and you'll be able to get in there in a couple of months. Not long after that, 11th March 2016, the first part of the game will released, and then followed up with episodic content over a 6 month period (all included in the initial full game price). The PS4 version also comes with six exclusive contracts – "The Sarajevo Six" – which will also release periodically and be set in countries all over the world. In the meantime, watch our video on how much we loved Hitman: Blood Money, and what we want to see in the new game.
If you're new to the world of Hitman then there are 4 other games on console to get your hands on, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Contracts, Blood Money and Absolution; as well as Hitman: GO and Hitman: Sniper on mobile devices. If you're really nostalgic then there's even Hitman: Agent 47 on PC which is the game that kicked it all off. We've high hopes for Hitman and it's good to finally know that IO aren't wasting their time on Kane & Lynch any more.

The Candy Store skit is one of Melrose Troop 68's favorite skits. It is a simple skit that involves audience participation. Audience members are chosen to be "items" of the store including a door, a sign, the counter and more. It is a fun skit that will bring a lot of laughter when done well.
The Boy Scout of Troop 68 included The Candy Store skit when they brought back the Laughs For Lunch Show back in 2018. One of the Scouts played the new shop owner. A committee member played the customer. I think nine people were taken from the audience to help with the skit.
The video of this skit has now been posted to the Melrose Scouting Production channel on YouTube. Take a look at it and let us know if you enjoyed it. It can be found at https://youtu.be/p1y5P-hwSrA .

THE new DCC GAGE measurement station from Brown & Sharpe (Australian agent John Hart P/L ) is an entry level, high performance direct computer control coordinate measuring machine designed to improve throughput and accuracy in a variety of measurement and inspection operations.
The DCC GAGE can be used as a stand-alone, walk-up station for first piece inspection, layout inspection and tool set up, or as a flexible gauge.
Its large measurement envelope can handle workpiece sizes up to 18" x 20" x 16" (457mm x 508mm x 406mm). With a speed of 305mm/sec and acceleration of 290mm/sec2, the DCC GAGE easily keeps pace with machine tools.
In many applications, DCC GAGE can improve inspection efficiency up to 45 percent, significantly reducing machine tool idle time.
The DCC GAGE comes equipped with PC-DMIS PRO software. This new software features an easy-to-use, shop-floor graphics interface that guides operators through part programming, setup and execution of the inspection routine.
Advanced graphics reporting functions assist users in configuring inspection results to meet specific data analysis needs.
The DCC GAGE is also equipped with a TP-ES probe, a computer system and a 15" monitor. For additional functionality and flexibility, users can upgrade the DCC GAGE with the addition of PC-DMIS CAD or PC-DMIS CAD++ software.
PC-DMIS CAD uses 3D CAD data to create part programs, both on and off-line, complete with graphical part models and probe path simulations.
PC-DMIS CAD ++ software incorporates a scanning function for the accurate measurement of complex shapes such as turbine blades, dies, models, sheet metal components and other curved shapes quickly and efficiently.
Part programs can be created directly from CAD models using native CAD system algorithms and tools with either the Direct CAD Translator (DCT) or the Direct CAD Interface (DCI) options to both PC-DMIS CAD and PCDMIS CAD++.
DCT serves as a translator while DCI eliminates the need for any translator by using the original CAD model, assuring no accuracy is lost when design data is used for part programming.
The result is reduced programming time, greater measuring accuracy and improved inspection throughput and efficiency.

StorehouseCairngorm Mountain
See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
The Storehouse is situated 645m (2110ft) up the Cairn Gorm mountain at the lower end of the funicular railway in the Cairngorm mountain range, near Aviemore. Currently a good selection of bottled beer is available from both both Cairngorm and Orkney.
After arriving at the car park at the lower end of the funicular, you can walk the nearly 2km up to Ptarmigan (free), or take the funicular itself (£). Outwith the winter season access to the mountain is restricted to preserve the mountain from armies of day-trippers which would otherwise destroy the delicate ecosystem. If you do decide to walk up, keep to the paths and observe all notices. Guided walks from Ptarmigan outwith the skiing season can be booked with Natural Retreats.
Other interesting information:- Natural Retreats UK took over the management of the restaurant, the Cairn Gorm Mountain ski centre and funicular railway in April 2014 on a 25 year lease from Highlands & Islands Enterprise.
The Ptarmigan is a medium sized game bird in the grouse family which sheds its grey, brown and black plumage in the winter, becoming snowy white
Cairn Gorm itself is the nearest highest point at 1245m (4085ft) which is a short walk away and the sixth highest in the UK. The highest point on the Cairngorm Plateau is Ben Macdui at 1309m (4295ft) and the second highest point in the UK after Ben Nevis which is 1344m (4409ft).
Cairngorm is a variety of semi precious smoky yellow-brown (sometimes grey-brown) quartz crystal.

In recent years, email attacks against enterprises have increased, and many large companies have suffered heavy losses. Therefore, enterprise email security is also an urgent problem to be solved. Now, many enterprise email systems have been migrated to the cloud and directly use cloud service providers' cloud email service. How to ensure that email content in cloud email server will not be illegally used and compliance is an urgent problem to be solved, and employees mobile working and use own device and other related issues are a big challenge to enterprise email security.
We believe that the most effective email security protection is to protect the content of the email itself, whether it is using a self-built email system or a cloud email service. To ensure the security and confidentiality of enterprise email, the content of the mail itself must be encrypted. Encrypt every outgoing email to ensure the confidential, add a digital signature and timestamp to every outgoing email to ensure the credibility, prevent fraud email, and ensure that the time of sending email is credible.
Enterprise simply deprecate the current used email client software and use MeSince® to achieve full encryption, end-to-end encryption and fully automatic encryption, as well as fully automatic digital signature and timestamp. At the same time, we recommend that enterprise deploy their own cryptographic key management system (KM) to fully control their encryption keys to meet the high security requirements of email security.
Using MeSince for end-to-end email encryption will enable enterprise to truly implement mobile working, which not only meets the urgent needs of mobile working, but also meets the high security requirements for enterprise email.
As shown in the following figure, in order to ensure that the encryption key is highly secure and controllable, enterprise only needs to connect the plug-and-play KM device to the intranet. All staff's computers and mobile devices must be able to connect to KM device to get the encrypting certificate private key. After successfully obtaining the encrypting certificate, the email encryption can be used normally. Remote office staff must be able to connect to KM device via VPN. KM devices cannot access the Internet and are limited to employee computers and mobile devices access in intranet to ensure the device and private key security. Of course, enterprise can also build their own CA without using the MeSince default CA.
In other words, MeSince encryption solution allows enterprise to achieve complete and autonomous control of confidential emails by simply managing and controlling the encryption key even the application environment is untrustworthy.
For more detail of this solution, please contact us.

The amount you pay for DUPIXENT will largely depend on a number of factors, including:
Considering these factors, 2 people could pay very different prices for exactly the same prescription medication.
DUPIXENT is likely dispensed differently than your other medications. DUPIXENT is an injectable medication and requires special shipping and handling. For this reason, insurance providers often require the use of a specialty pharmacy instead of your local retail pharmacy.
For the most accurate information regarding your cost and dispensing of DUPIXENT, speak with your insurance provider who knows the details of your plan.
All prescription medications have a list price.1 Very few patients pay the list price, which is a price set by the manufacturer. The list price* of DUPIXENT is $3,110.09 per carton, but most people will not pay the list price.
The amount you pay for DUPIXENT will largely depend on whether you have insurance, the type of insurance you have, whether your insurance provider considers the medication to be preferred or not preferred, and whether you've met your deductible.
* List price is also referred to as wholesale acquisition cost or WAC. WAC is the price at which Sanofi sells its products to wholesalers. A monthly supply of DUPIXENT (300 mg or 200 mg) is defined as two injections per month. List price as of 5/21/2020.
Approximately 69% of commercially insured patients pay between $0-$100 per month for DUPIXENT, and approximately 31%* pay $100+2,† per month for DUPIXENT.
With the DUPIXENT MyWay® Copay Card, a eligible patient may pay as little as $0 per fill of DUPIXENT‡.
Learn more about the DUPIXENT MyWay Copay Card
* % of claims based on unprojected data.
† Out-of-pocket costs were standardized to a 30-day supply period.
‡ THIS IS NOT INSURANCE. Not valid for prescriptions paid, in whole or in part, by Medicaid, Medicare, VA, DOD, TRICARE, or other federal or state programs including any state pharmaceutical assistance programs. Program has an annual maximum of $13,000. Additional terms and conditions apply.
Approximately 71% of Medicare Part D patients can expect to pay between $0-$100 per month for DUPIXENT, and 29% of Medicare Part D patients can expect to pay $100+3,* per month for DUPIXENT.
How much you pay for your prescription drugs may change throughout the year for some people with Part D insurance. You may pay more in the beginning of the year or more later in the year depending on which phase of the Part D benefit you are in.†
Some people with Part D coverage are eligible for the Extra Help4 program (also known as the Low-Income Subsidy or "LIS"), and they typically pay $3-$9 for their prescriptions.5 If you would like to check whether you qualify for this program and apply, please go to www.ssa.gov/benefits/medicare/prescriptionhelp.

As a follow up to my earlier post on the U.S. Government's IT Dashboard, this Infoworld post by Erik Knorr discusses the challenge of transparency and also highlights one current weakness of the dashboard in that "…these ratings have been provided by agency CIOs themselves. What matters more, of course, is the assessment of people who use these systems." I would add here that these are not just the people who use them, but who often commissioned them in the first place. I say current weakness as Knorr goes on to say that "In the postlaunch Q&A, Kundra [the Federal CIO] said this will be incorporated into future iterations of the platform."
While the above is indeed a weakness, and the dashboard is still in it's early days – the fact that such a platform has been made publicly available is still one heck of a leap forward.

Recent studies have found that your adult stem cells can become heart cells, liver cells, pancreatic cells, muscle cells, brain cells and more.
Past News ReleasesRSS
San Clemente, California (Vocus) February 11, 2010
Former NBA basketball star John Salley is now using and officially endorsing the innovative stem cell nutrition products of industry leader STEMTech HealthSciences.
Salley was prompted to join the 4-year old multi-national company after learning about numerous scientific studies pointing to the benefits of stem cell nutrition and discovering that the company's mission fits his own personal goal of improving modern-day society's health through plant-based nutrition.
"The STEMTech products do something very different from anything else I've ever seen," said Salley. "Instead of nourishing existing tissue, they support the natural release and movement of your adult stem cells – the 'master' cells produced by your bone marrow. Recent studies have found that your adult stem cells can become heart cells, liver cells, pancreatic cells, muscle cells, brain cells and more. In essence they act as your body's 'natural renewal system' – the health implications are astounding!"
The Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, and Los Angeles Lakers all enjoyed Salley during his 16-year career as a power forward and center starting in 1986. In basketball circles, the 6'11" Salley is best remembered for garnering – as he puts it – "four championship rings, with three different teams, in three different decades and two different millennia."
The multi-faceted graduate of Georgia Tech's College of Management is well known off the basketball court too. In addition to hosting and appearing in a number of popular TV shows and movies including Hollywood Squares, I'm a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!, Bad Boys and Confessions of a Shopaholic, he co-hosts a show on Fox Sports Network, has his own healthy organic food line and works with charities such as the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (pcrm.org) and Operation Smile.
"Every day we see our Stem Cell Nutrition products making a difference in quality of life as it relates to health," said STEMTech's CEO, Ray C. Carter, Jr., "but our groundbreaking product category and the science behind it is so new that it takes time to educate the consumer public. We are thrilled to have someone of John's quality to assist in getting the word out and we look forward to working with him."

About STEMTech HealthSciences Inc.
Founded in 2005, STEMTech HealthSciences Inc. (http://www.stemtechhealth.com) is a pioneer of a new category of nutritionals, called "stem cell nutrition". Its patented flagship product, StemEnhance®, is scientifically proven to increase the number of naturally released, circulating adult stem cells by an average of 25 percent, the equivalent of an additional 3 to 4 million stem cells. Recently published clinical data shows that a greater number of circulating adult stem cells equates to better health and wellness. Its StemFLO® product supports the natural circulation of adult stem cells – and when combined with StemEnhance, creates a powerful combination, including cutting-edge nutritional support for athletes (http://www.stemsport.com). STEMTech products are only available through its Independent Distributors and are not sold in stores.

Recently, I got the wonderful opportunity to try out a few skincare products by Reviva Labs. Reviva Labs is an all natural skincare brand that can be found in professional skin care salons and health food stores worldwide. Read Reviva Labs ABOUT US page for more details about the brand.
Throughout the week, I'll be posting reviews for all of the products I've tried, starting off with the Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream – which happens to be my favorite!
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Reviva Labs now offers a new answer to helping firm, tighten and "lift" skin with DMAE…as Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin C Ester fight free radicals and future skin aging. As a special Reviva boost, this dramatic trio is encased in a soy liposome for deeper, time release action during the night. Allantoin and Aloe Vera are added to soothe and calm stressed skin, contributing to a healthy, vibrant glow. For supple, more youthful looking skin, it's another major advance in the battle against skin aging. Benefits: helps improve skin tone and glow as its powerful antioxidant action fights free-radical damage. As your body rests during the night, you have hours of uninterrupted replenishing nutrients that help tighten and "lift" skin to treat the effects of time as it helps fight future skin aging. (REVIVA LABS)
Being I'm 23 years old, I don't need any "extreme" lifting, but I what I expect out of a good cream is for it to even out my skin tone as well as skin texture, keep my skin hydrated and repair any moisture loss from using any harsh cleansers or exfoliants and make my skin soft to the touch. Is that all too much to ask?!
This particular cream is best when used at night to I've your skin several hours to drink up all of the good vitamins and repair your skin. For nighttime, I prefer a product that's a bit heavier than a day cream, but isn't too greasy where it will leave my pillow an oil slick. This particular cream is really light and fluffy – it's not heavy or oily. Once applied to the skin, the texture is incredibly silky and creamy. It doesn't leave the skin shiny, greasy or tacky. It feels a little moist for about a minute and then it almost completely absorbs. My skin type is normal to combination, but at times I can have a little dryness due to harsh cleansers, exfoliants or even the weather. This cream always fixes that by the morning. I'm always excited to look at my face every morning to see how radiant my skin is. The results when using this is always consistent. I wake up with baby soft skin, an even complexion and a glow from within. With most creams, the full benefits can be seen when used after your skin has been exfoliated to soak up all of the ingredients to the fullest. I like using my Olay Pro-X at night and this cream right after. I've been using it daily for around 3-4 weeks now and my skin is in great shape.
Lately, I've found that I can get away with wearing less makeup and lighter coverage foundations. What's even cooler than that is I've received a handful of compliments on my skin in the past month – and it may not seem like a big deal, but I never really receive compliments on my skin.
I've tried several creams by several brands – Estee Lauder, Clinique, Ponds, Olay, Neutrogena, Etc and this cream is by far my favorite. Of course, with any product what may work for me, may not work for you.. So I'm not saying to go run out and purchase this cream, but it is a product I do recommend trying if you're looking for a good, hydrating cream. I don't like to go a day without using and I will purchase another one once mine has almost finished!
OVERALL: I think this is a fantastic cream for all skin types. Highly recommended!

Warning: preg_match_all(): Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 7 in /homepages/23/d339537987/htdocs/pb/wp-content/themes/p2/inc/mentions.php on line 77
Amazon 5***** Review
While I am am not an avid reader of erotica, I have yet to find an erotic writer anywhere near as good as Chloe Thurlow. Most erotic literature is smarmy, breathless sentimentality, overlaid with unrealistic notions of sexuality. This is not the case with The Secret Life of Girls!
I am a reader of good literature, the kind with deep complex meaning, great dialogue, and complete characters! This is my third book by this writer and I got the distinct feeling that her main character, Bella, is very much the author herself. Bella is funny, witty, amusing, naive, gorgeous and outrageous. Everyone loves her, her friends, the men she meets during her sexual awakening and now me, the reader.
Think of Lolita crossed with Holly Golighly from Breakfast at Tiffany's and you have Bella – Isabella di Millo.
Bella lives a privileged life at an elite convent school on the English coast among other rich and beautiful girls. They have to put up with the strict nuns, but come the weekend, Bella cuts an impressive figure in her scanty clothes among the town boys, who all lust after her.
Lolita Calamity
Life is fun, fun, fun. Then, calamity strikes. The country mansion, left to Bella in her father's will is not hers after all. It belongs to the greedy scheming lawyer, Mr Daviditz. Her new stepfather. Her mother, a powerful figure in Bella's life, is envious of her daughter and delights in informing her that any dreams she may have had are not likely to come true.
Until then, sex for Bella has been just a bit of fun – "People take sex far too seriously." Now, it is the power of her sexuality that she uses to trap Mr Daviditz in a compromising situation – captured on video tape, and the force of her personality that drives her into the world of pop music where she intends to make her fortune and force Mr Daviditz to sell back her family home.
This is a real novel with real characters, the sex, while very sensuous, arises through the plot and the writer brings you to a satisfying conclusion – although not entirely satisfying in as much as you hate to leave Bella and want to know what's going to happen to her in the next phase of her life.
Chloe Thurlow writes prose with real poetry and has produced a character in Bella di Millo who will stay in my memory – probably forever. Perhaps a SERIES Ms. Thurlow? Thank you for a GREAT read!
5***** Review by Mac on Amazon.com
The Secret Life of Girls is a fictionalized memoir of Bella, an 18-year old girl at finishing school on the English coast. When her father dies, her mother remarries a man who secretly buys the manor house left in trust to Bella to pay off her father's debts. The betrayal cuts Bella to the core – the house is a part of her. She has nothing left – except she is beautiful, bold and unafraid to use sex to get revenge – as well as for her own pleasure.

Organic Gardening Tips For Every Season Of The Year
To be successful in organic gardening, you need patience and persistence. A green thumb also helps considerably. Gardening is a hobby which can grow healthy produce that is pesticide free. Although this may sound easier than it is. Throughout the article below, you will read some expert advice on organic gardening that can assist you in becoming a skilled gardener.
Get your kids to help you grow your organic garden. A garden can teach your children about the joy of rewarding work and nutrition while bonding.
If you are planning to grow plants within the house, the temperature should be maintained between 65 and 75 degrees within the daylight hours. This is the optimum temperature to ensure strong growth. If you are not willing to keep your house that warm during winter, you could always get the organic plants a heat lamp.
Pay attention to how much light your indoor plants are getting. If you live in a home or apartment that does not get great sunlight you may want to consider growing plants that are designed to grow in low or medium-light environments. You could also consider using grow-lights for this exact purpose.
After your seeds sprout, the containers do not need to stay as warm as they once did. As your plants grow, you will want to put a little distance between them and heat. It is wise to take plastic covers off of the containers in order to eliminate humidity and excess heat. Keep an eye on your seeds so you will know when this should be done.
Coat your flower beds with a few inches of an organic mulch. This fights weeds, retains moisture, and gives your garden valuable nutrients. This will also make your flowers appear beautiful and finished all year long.
Coffee grounds are a great addition to soil. Coffee grounds contain many of the essential nitrogenous nutrients that plants are able to use. It is best for your plants to use coffee grounds that are part of a blend of ingredients in the compost or soil you are using for your plants, rather than directly adding coffee grounds to your garden plants.
Don't let all the little chores in your organic garden build up. Even if you can't tend to your garden daily, you can do little things to help so that there is not a huge amount of work to be done when you are ready to get back to it. If you are outside with your dog, pluck a few weeds while your dog is taking care of his business.
An old laundry basket makes a great way to gather your harvest. A laundry basket will act as a strainer for your produce. You can rinse your produce off while it is in the basket, and the excess water will strain through the holes of your laundry basket.
Successful organic gardening incorporates quite a few elements, such as patience, knowledge and nature. This hobby makes use of the land around us to grow something that tastes really good. By using these tips and giving some effort, you can be a skilled organic gardener.…
