That guy on Youtube who uploaded a video of a suicide victim in Japan's Aokigahara forest in December? Most people weren't too familiar with Logan Paul until his extremely obnoxious and tactless behavior made headlines late last year.
Here's a video of how he usually carries on:
The 22-year-old released an apology after facing backlash for the insensitive video in Japan's 'suicide forest'. He told his fans:
The intent was not to be heartless, cruel or malicious. I made a huge mistake. I don't expect to be forgiven. I am ashamed of myself. I'm disappointed in myself. And I promise to be better.
Apparently that was a promise he did not intend to keep, because just weeks later the Youtuber uploaded a video of himself tasering two dead rats and removing live fish from water to 'perform CPR' on them.
After people complained about this video, and how it's not suitable for Logan Paul's audience – who are mostly young children – Youtube released a statement. They have 'temporarily' suspended ads on his channels.
After careful consideration we have decided to temporarily suspend ads on Logan Paul's Youtube channels. This is not a decision we made lightly, however, we believe he has exhibited a pattern of behaviour in his videos that makes his channel not only unsuitable for advertisers, but also potentially damaging to the broader creator community.
It's estimated that Logan Paul's income from Youtube videos is somewhere around $1.2 million per month.

Subnational REDD+ initiatives offer invaluable learning opportunities. They are the testing ground for proof of concept, and can provide pillars for robust national REDD+ programs. They are the 'real life' locations where outcomes related to human wellbeing and forests are expected. They are therefore an indispensable empirical reference point for the success or failure of policy and technical innovations made at all jurisdictional levels. The UNDP (2014) estimates that 50–80% of climate mitigation actions depend on decisions made at subnational and local levels.
Module 2 of GCS uses the BACI method to measure the 3E+ impacts (effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and co-benefits) of REDD+ in subnational initiatives. This counter-factual approach involves comparing villages and households that are inside and outside of REDD+, and comparing impacts before and after the introduction of various REDD+ interventions.
Module 2 has produced several publications on the use of BACI for analyzing REDD+ (Jagger et al. 2009; Jagger et al. 2010) as well as other guidelines, methods and reflections on assessing performance of REDD+ in terms of carbon and non-carbon outcomes (Herold & Romijn 2010; Sunderlin et al. 2010; Duchelle et al. 2015; de Sassi et al. 2015; Sunderlin et al. 2016).

HINTHADA, Myanmar - Myanmar's president called Thursday for the evacuation of low-lying areas as the Irrawaddy river threatened to breach embankments, leaving villagers with just sand-bags to hold back churning waters that have hit much of the country.
Floods from a heavy monsoon season have cut through swathes of South and Southeast Asia in recent weeks, claiming hundreds of lives and displacing millions.
Twelve of Myanmar's 14 regions have been struck, with officials saying 74 people have been killed and more than 330,000 affected - many forced into monasteries and other makeshift shelters after their homes were inundated.
In a picture muddied by damaged communications, relief agencies said floods had receded in some northern and western areas allowing supplies of food and clean water to trickle in, although landslides were still a threat.
The centre and south are now bracing for floods as water drains through the vast Irrawaddy delta.
In a message broadcast on radio early Thursday, President Thein Sein said areas near the Irrawaddy were at risk as the river rises "above danger level".
"As we cannot prevent natural disasters, I urge fellow citizens to move to safer places... it's the best way," he said, adding Hinthada and Nyaung Don townships along the river were in immediate danger.
Worst floods in memory
In Hinthada, the army on Thursday helped residents prepare for floods, securing belongings inside homes and reinforcing embankments with sand bags, with villages on the other side of the barriers already submerged up to their roof-tops.
Boat driver Than Naing said this year's monsoon was the worst in living memory, as he helped ferry people across an expanse of dark water that has swallowed rice fields.
"I have never seen anything like this. Every year it floods a bit but not like this," he told AFP.
"My parents are about 70-years-old and they haven't seen floods like this before." International aid efforts have buttressed the response of the army and local communities, following a rare appeal by the government for outside help.
But thousands of people are still feared stranded in rugged and remote Chin State after days of rain caused flash floods and landslides that swept away homes, roads and bridges.
Further south, aid agencies have warned drinking water is running out in parts of Rakhine State, which was also hit by Cyclone Komen late last week.
The floods have heaped misery on the state, which already has tens of thousands of people in displacement camps - mainly Muslim Rohingya - after waves of sectarian violence.
Concerns over food security are also mounting as UN said more than million acres of farmland have been flooded, devastating the stable rice crop, with more rains forecast.
Myanmar is set for a general election in November and the quasi-civilian government has been at pains to show it is reacting speedily to the floods.
Their approach appears in stark contrast to the former ruling generals, who refused outside help for weeks after the 2008 Cyclone Nargis, which left 140,000 dead or missing.
India and Pakistan have faced the worst of this year's monsoon with hundreds dead and more than two million displaced across the two nations.
More than two dozen people died late Tuesday in central India when a flash flood derailed two passenger trains.
Vietnam and Nepal have also seen scores killed.

Grant and Leigh expected to start against Rochdale
International call ups for Marcus Haber and George Ray this week will mean fresh opportunities for others when Rochdale roll into South Cheshire again, this time for a Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie. Haber is away with his native Canada and Ray has joined up with the Wales Under-21s ahead of their qualifying double header against Finland and Lithuania.
Billy Waters has been placed on stand-by for the Wales Under-21 squad but has not been drafted in by manager Geraint Williams.
Crewe Alexandra boss Steve Davis will be forced into changes and he is expected to welcome back Anthony Grant after he impressed in the second half against Gillingham on Saturday.
Steve said ahead of our Rochdale clash: "With players away on International duty there will chances for others. It is up to them to grab their chance. Greg (Leigh) will start and Granty will play. He needs a game.
"It is a chance for them to run around and show their ability. "

There was a desperate edge to Nancy's voice as her daughter picked up the phone.
"Is Melissa OK?" Nancy asked, not even pausing to say hello.
"Sure, Mom," her daughter replied, "she's at college. Why?"
Moments earlier, Nancy had received a disturbing phone call informing her that her granddaughter was in a distant country and had been arrested. Bail money was urgently needed. The mysterious caller did not identify Melissa by name. But the call struck terror into Nancy's heart. It didn't help that, at 84, Nancy was getting a bit forgetful and confused.
Luckily, Nancy's daughter was able to assure her that Melissa was safe at school. But the call left a lingering taste of panic for Nancy.
Preying on the fears of elderly grandparents in this way is one of the most reprehensible scams we've heard of. If Nancy had wired money to the caller, instead of checking with her daughter, she would be out thousands of dollars.
How can we keep our seniors safe from predators like this caller?
First, if a parent is becoming confused and forgetful, keep emphasizing the importance of calling a trusted relative in case of a disturbing call giving information about a loved one.
Second, check in with an aging parent frequently. Daily is best. Panic and confusion could prompt a senior to follow bogus instructions without doing a reality check.

The Harper government is sending three top ministers to International Economic Forum of the Americas in Toronto this week -- but can't be bothered to send a single representative to the Climate Summit of the Americas being held at the same time at the exact same hotel.
That's right, International Trade Minister Ed Fast, Transport Minister Lisa Raitt and Treasury Board President Tony Clement -- a guy with 50 million reasons to love international summits -- have all cleared room in their schedules to speak at the Economic Forum at the Fairmont Royal York hotel.
Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq will be tied up in her home riding to celebrate Nunavut Day, but the government didn't think of sending a stand-in for the Climate Summit to speak alongside the governors of California and Vermont, the premiers of Ontario and Quebec, and the environment ministers from BC, Quebec and Ontario.
Mexico is even chipping in its top environment bureaucrat and former president, Felipe Calderón, who chairs the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate.
So you could be forgiven for thinking that maybe one of the Tory trio attending the Economic Forum could find some time to talk about the government's plans to combat climate change down the hall at the Royal York.
Then again, they wouldn't have a whole lot to say on the file other than it's something their grandchildren can solve once the year 2100 rolls around.
The snub comes after a broad coalition of 10,000 people took to the streets of Toronto on Sunday for the March for Jobs, Justice, and the Climate to push for a transition to a clean-energy economy in Canada.

As Albert Einstein once famously said, compound interest is the eight wonder of the world. Whether it is a wonder of the world or not, it is surely an amazing concept. If you understand compounding, you can make it work for you (via investments). If not, it can work against you (via debts). That way, compounding can be a double edged sword.
One of the most well-known investment approach that many people wish they had implemented (but seldom do!) is the "start young" approach. This investment approach assumes that rates of return are compounded. Yet, often the idea of compounding is assumed to come from income-paying investments – e.g. fixed deposits
On the contrary, compounding can also come in the different shapes & sizes – like profits in mutual funds, equities, fixed deposits or other assets.
For example, suppose equity has gained an average of 12% in value every year could be said to have a compounded rate of return of 12%. This is an excellent rate of return, particularly over a long-term investment period.
What is compounding?
Compounding money is a simple concept, yet most of us fail to take its full advantage, partly due to lack of financial discipline.
Suppose you start with $1,000 to invest and over the year, you see a 10% investment on your return. That translates to $100 for a total return of $1,100. If you are taking advantage of the benefits of compounding money you'd then reinvest this entire $1,100. In the next year if you make another 10%, this time you'd make a total of $110, bringing your total to $1,210.
This can, over long run, create an avalanche effect. Because the benefits of early savings in life can be greatly increased by the effect of compounding, starting to save and invest can already make all the difference, so you can enjoy life without worrying about your finances.
If one starts early and invests n a disciplined manner, hopefully one day one can be financially independent & need not depend upon salary. Can you imagine working in the future because you want it – NOT because you have to cover your current expenses?
How compounding works in your favour?
Investment is one of the most important ways in which compound interest plays to your advantage. Particularly if you have a large opening balance and a lot of time to grow it, compounding can do wonders for your money. Your money grows because you earn interest not only on your opening balance but also on your accrued interest. You will make interest on your interest, thanks to compound interest.
Investing in a systematic investment plan (SIP) in an equity fund, a public provident fund (PPF) or a national pension plan at an early stage (NPS) can help the investor build up a large investment fund. In investment funds, investing at an early stage of SIP can help help create long-term prosperity. To make compounding work in your favour, one should ideally invest in financial assets that offer a superior return. Yet, be aware of the risks they carry, and be diversified enough that you don't suffer a permanent loss of capital.
What are key things you should consider while chasing compounding?
- Regular investments – How much you can invest per month? Ideally you should spend what is left after investing and not the other way round.
- Investment time horizon – Enter the number of years your money should grow to help you achieve your financial goals. Time is one of the key success factors in making your investment grow.
- Expected rate of returns? – What is your expected return on investments – For equities it may be more (but with some risk). For fixed returns instruments it can be a bit less (but certain)
Impact of the interest rate on compounding
It is obvious that the higher the interest rate, the higher the return.
Suppose a parent makes an investment of 25 rupees per day, for his child with an interest of 4%. After 25 years the parent could have given his child a gift of only 3.81 lac. If, on the contrary, they invested in an instrument with 8.5%, the proceeds would have been 7.35 lac. While a 12 percent instrument would have given them a higher amount of Rs 12.65 lac.
However, as expected rate of returns rise, so does the risk.
Higher-yielding returns are possible typically from riskier instruments like equities. The problem with higher returns is that they are not steady and predictable and often give lumpy returns. Because of this element of unpredictability, it may be difficult to work in the context of short-term planning. There may be some years in which the return is negative, which would be counterproductive for your goals, if they are not long term enough.
Planning financial goals must be cost-effective and predictable. Starting to save early helps us be on course faster. It is more difficult for your savings to meet your needs if you invest later.
To sum it up …
Compounding is a powerful concept. Knowing how it works can help you create wealth and better manage your debt, if any. Once you understand how compounding works can work for and against you, you can take control of your finances and make informed decisions.
An early start gives a head start on the investment process, thanks to that wonderful thing called "time". It must also be clear that the creation of wealth over time by making effective use of the power of capital, the switch from saving to investing is important. Spend time identifying your goals, link your long-term objectives to your long-term investments, use a mix of debt investment classes and equities for.
Start investing to achieve your financial goals and let the compounding work its magic.

The "I" in the title is there for a reason. :)
Cassilda showered, dressed for bed, made herself a cup of cocoa and locked her cat in for the night. As she drank her cocoa she went around the house, checking that the doors were locked shut, and the windows were locked in place with their fly screens undisturbed. In the laundry she closed the blind, obliterating the slated oblong of moonlight on the linoleum. When she was satisfied that everything was secure, she finished the cocoa, washed the mug and left it to drain on the kitchen sink, then cleaned her teeth and went to bed.
Later, Bodram snorted with disgust, "Asleep and locked up for the night! Who's next?"

Donald Trump wants Tom Brady to speak at the Republican convention

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump wants Tom Brady and other sports stars to speak at the Republican National Convention, reports The New York Times.
While at a rally in Virginia, Trump mentioned Brady as one of the "champions" who support his candidacy for office. Trump also named UFC president Dana White, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and former Indiana coach Bobby Knight as sports legends who are also his supporters. The businessman and reality TV star said he would prefer to have the athletes as opposed to other politicians speak for him at the upcoming Republican National Convention.
"We're going to do it a little different, if it's okay.," Trump said. "I'm thinking about getting some of the great sports people who like me a lot ... Our country needs to see winners. We don't see winners anymore. We have a bunch of clowns running this country. We have people who don't know what the hell they're doing running our country."

Trump, who recently described himself as "the least racist person," has previously been vocal about his friendship with Brady. The Patriots quarterback sported one of the candidate's trademark "Make America Great Again" hats in his locker last season.

SWUUWCon 2005
Sisterhood is Still Powerful
Houston Area UU Women welcome you to this, the 19th annual conference, sponsored by Southwest Unitarian Universalist Women. The theme of this year's conference takes us back to halcyon days when we talked of the dawning of the age of Aquarius. All that may seem very far away from where we find ourselves today. So do wear a flower in your hair, and if you have any love beads in the back of your closet, dust them off and bring them to Houston, Texas. We want to rekindle some of that hope and promise we felt in the 60s.

The top members of the British royal family are names we're all familiar with — or so we think.
Though we hear about the likes of William, Kate, Harry, and Charles all the time, they also have alternative monikers most people won't be aware of.
In amongst their crowded collections of titles and honours (Prince Charles's full name is more than three lines long) are some that only really count in certain parts of the UK — and become their main name when they're there.
Senior, married members of the royal family have these regional titles, which at the moment means Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Prince Charles.
All three senior royals have different titles in Scotland, which has a completely separate system of nobility to England, and was a distinct country until 1707.
Prince William was given the title Earl of Strathearn when he married Kate in 2011, and in keeping with that, Kate became the Countess of Strathearn, which is their proper title when in Scotland.
Here's a front page of The Daily Telegraph's Scottish edition, which took the chance to use their local titles.
Alex Salmond, the former first minister of Scotland, also made a point of using those names when it was announced that Kate was pregnant with Princess Charlotte.
For Prince Charles, his title is Duke of Rothesay. It was the historic title held by the heir to the Scottish throne before the two royal families merged in the early 1600s. His wife, Camilla, is likewise the Duchess of Rothesay.
Here's the Scottish edition of The Times newspaper using the title:
Northern Ireland
William and Kate likewise have a title that only works in Ireland — and only in the six counties that make up Northern Ireland, which remained part of the UK after the rest left.
The Prince is Baron Carrickfergus when in the province, and Kate is Lady Carrickfergus.
Southwest England
The Prince of Wales doesn't have an Irish title, but he is the Duke of Cornwall. When travelling in the southwest of the country (Cornwall is the southwestern tip of the UK) he is often referred to by his ducal title instead of as a prince.
What about Harry and Meghan?
Prince Harry currently doesn't have equivalent geographical titles. But, since William got his extra ones when he married, there is every chance the same thing will happen on the occasion of Harry's wedding.
Royal watchers speculate that Harry will be made Duke of Sussex (with Meghan as Duchess), believing it to be the favourite among several vacant titles. There is scant information about what, if any, Irish or Scottish titles the pair may be granted.

Stephen Hawking didn't make it to San Diego to take part in the Big Bang Theory panel, but that doesn't mean the world's most famous geek couldn't steal the show anyway. In the video above, which played for the crowd at this morning's panel in Ballroom 20, Hawking makes inside jokes about his own appearances on the show, jokes about getting a flat tire on his way to the Con, pauses for laughs, and then even does his version of singing the show's theme song-- assisted by a computer, of course.
And that wasn't the only video highlight from this morning's panel, which really might be the nucleus of where geek culture and Comic-Con intersects-- where else can you get thousands upon thousands of people in a room for a panel about a TV show and also have them go nuts over Stephen Hawking? The panel also included a highlight reel from Season 6-- heavy on the pop culture references and even a nod to Comic-Con-- which Warner Bros. TV has been generous enough to share online as well:
The Big Bang Theory has been as visible as ever at Comic-Con this year, adorning the giant, poster-sized bags that attendees get when they pick up their bags, and inspiring lines for Ballroom 20 so long that our poor correspondent Eric couldn't even get in the door. But it's far from the only awesome TV-related thing that's been happening at the Con. Yesterday Benedict Cumberbatch wowed the crowd from a distance with his own video greeting, and this morning Mack caught up with the panel for the new SyFy series Helix. You can click here to catch all of our TV coverage as it happens, and keep coming back-- there are three more days of the Con left, and most of the biggest TV stuff comes on Sunday, so no taking the weekend off!

Let's face it anything to do with finance can be quite boring until you realise you need it. Generally, commercial borrowers are less satisfied with their lenders than home loan customers, but there is always a varying degree of trepidation when considering a change of your commercial lender. With home loans, you either qualify or you don't. Fail on one of the 5 C's of credit on a home loan and it is declined. That is not necessarily the case with commercial lending. As a commercial borrower, you may not satisfy all the 5 C's, but that doesn't mean the loan has to be declined. As a Commercial Finance Broker, it is my job to identify any weaknesses in your application, present a case that mitigates those weaknesses and look at identifying whether strengths in other areas are sufficient to offset the weaknesses. So, don't be afraid to change lenders if you are not happy with what you have.

My name is Katherine and I am the Archives Supervisor at Oxford Archaeology East based in Cambridge. My role in this part of the company is to make sure that, once a given project has been dug, recorded and written, all the paperwork and finds are filed correctly and then sent off to their final destination at the relevant archive or museum. My day to day work largely consists of putting archives onto our archive database and making sure they meet the relevant guidelines, managing our OASIS records, uploading finished reports to Oxford Archaeology's online library and looking after the in-house library.
People often forget about archiving as part of the archaeological process, mainly I think because it isn't deemed as exciting as actually excavating something. It certainly isn't glamourous sitting amongst stacks of cardboard boxes trying to reorganise finds into context order or spending hours checking all the context records are there. However, if we do not archive projects then the information gathered during that project could be lost for future generations. There are plenty of cautionary tales out there about projects from the past where the site director has stored the project archive under his or her bed for decades only for it to be lost once they have died. Thankfully these days there is much more of an awareness within archaeology of the need to make sure projects are archived and that the information gathered is available to a wider audience. Because that's why we do this job, right? To preserve the past for the future.

DASSEL, MN Historic preservation is another opportunity available for small towns like Dassel to boost economic development.
Not only does it create jobs, but it gives a competitive edge to a community when the town has something unique, compared to other towns, according to Erin Hanafin Berg.
She is a field representative from the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota in Partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Berg told a gathering of city officials and community activists Tuesday how, during an economic downturn, tourists prefer traveling to sites that are nearby.
The presentation was in the renovated Universal Laboratories building in Dassel. Ann and Jerry Bollman, Dassel Area Historical Society board chairman, served a soup and salad luncheon to the group.
Berg described two kinds of historic preservation, heritage and Main Street. Both attract tourists and create new jobs and businesses, she said.
Renovation is labor intensive, so most of the money invested in a preservation project goes to the people who do the work, not in materials. A sheet of drywall, for example, wouldn't go to a barber after work and pay for a haircut and add a tip, as a person might, she said.
Nationally, tourism is a $600 million per year industry in the United States. As the Baby Boomers have aged, the "adult travelers," who spend the most money, increased to 65 percent from 61 percent, Berg said.
Also, the average "heritage" tourist spends $615 per trip, compared to $425 per non-heritage trip, she said.
The Dassel-Cokato community is near St. Cloud and the Twin Cities, which makes it an easy day trip, Berg pointed out.
"Preservation is not antithetical to development. It is redevelopment," she said.
Not only does it add to the tax base, but an attitude of "keeping up with the Joneses" develops in the others around the property, she said.
Dassel has a good start. In addition to the historical Universal Laboratories building, Dassel also has an active art scene, and Saints Field has an "old-timey feel to it," she said.
Driving around Dassel, Berg said she noticed several Cape Cod-style houses in the northwest corner of town. They were built shortly after World War II, and are good candidates for preservation, she said.
Property owners can tell if their properties have possibilities by looking at the style of building. Bungalows, for example, were built between 1910 and 1930. Victorian-style homes were built between 1890 and 1910.
Renovating buildings is a "green" industry, Berg added. Buildings constructed before 1950 were made of denser materials. They tend to be drafty, but that can be corrected with caulk and weather-stripping, she said.
Preserving and renovating historic buildings is the ultimate recycling. It often wastes energy and materials to demolish the old and build new, Berg said.
Buildings don't need to be returned to their original purpose, either. Berg pointed out the Chateau Theater in Rochester was renovated into a Barnes and Nobles store.
The Main Street program, when it was sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Tourism until 1980, created 77,800 new businesses and 349,000 new jobs. The preservation alliance is planning to start the Main Street program again in 2010. Preservation alliance officials are hoping it will include a tax credit from the state.
Berg described several grants and tax-incentive packages available, including the Hart Family Fund for Small Towns. It is specifically for towns with populations under 5,000, and provides $5,000 to $10,000 matching grants for planning and studies of historical preservation.

Nature: Country
Continent: Khorvaire
Before the War: Cyre
Capital: Taer Valaestas
Population: 70'000 (43% elf, 28% human, 15% khoravar, 5% hobbit, 5% hobgoblin, 4% other races)
Languages: Elven, Common
Exports: Horses, mercenary services
Ten thousand years ago, the elves of Aerenal established a settlement on the southern shore of Khorvaire. Initially, the hobgoblin emperor was pleased to have a center for trade with the elves, but over the course of the next century this relationship soured and turned to war.
The elves could not match the numbers of the goblinoids and were driven back to Aerenal. War between the empires continued sporadically over the next few centuries. Ultimately, both hobgoblin and elf agreed to respect the current borders — the elves would hold their island-continent, and the hobgoblins would continue to dominate the mainland.
Millennia passed, and the hobgoblin Empire of Dhakaan crumbled to dust. By the time of King Jarot of Galifar, the land once contested by hobgoblins and elves was part of the realm of Cyre. Much of the region was sparsely populated, with the occasional human village, migrating hobbit tribe, and a handful of hobgoblin clans hiding in the shadows.
When the Last War began, Cyre came under attack from all sides and quickly sought allies. While the Undying Court of Aerenal had no interest in returning to Khorvaire, the Cyrans drew the interest of the Valaes Tairn. These militant elves had long sought an opportunity to test their blades in epic battle, and they were only too willing to enter the fray.
For decades the elves fought on the side of Cyre, battling Talenta warbands, hobgoblin mercenaries, and the forces of Breland and Karrnath. They fought for the love of battle and gold, not loyalty to Cyre.
Then, in 956 YK, the elves took action that surprised the Cyrans and the other Five Nations. War Leader Shaeras Vadallia proclaimed that his people had ties to the land from a time before human feet touched the soil of Khorvaire, and that his soldiers had restored those ties with spilled blood. Vadallia declared himself high king of the new nation of Valenar, and his warriors have been fortifying their position and slowly expanding their borders ever since.
The Valenar elves have no interest in peace, but they participated in the talks at Thronehold to gauge the measure of their enemies and to gain acceptance in the human courts. Today, Valenar warbands continue to clash with Karrnathi forces, and raids into the Talenta Plains and Q'barra occur on a regular basis. Now that the Last War has come to an end, it remains to be seen whether the Treaty of Thronehold can end this elven aggression.
The Valenar elves demonstrate an uncanny knack for the art of war and the breeding of horses. The bloodline of Valenar horses can be traced all the way back to the warhorses of ancient Xen'drik, and the creatures have no equal among the native horses of Khorvaire. The weaponsmiths of Valenar create masterwork bows and fine densewood weapons. Beyond this, Valenar primarily exports the service of its warriors, brokered through House Deneith. Few people trust the Valenar elves or are comfortable hiring them in large numbers. Valenar elves, however, are the most talented cavalry troops in Khorvaire, and small units are often hired for specific tasks.
The elves of Valenar venerate the memories of their warrior ancestors, the giant slayers of ancient Xen'drik. Where the elves of Aerenal honor their ancestors through devotion and prayer, the Valaes Tairn believe that imitation is the truest form of flattery. Heroic deeds and glory in battle are the 2 goals of the Valaes Tairn, and their society revolves around this principle.
The primary social unit of the elves of Valenar is the "warclan", a group of 200 to 500 elves, subdivided into smaller tactical units called "warbands" that consist of 8 to 12 individuals. Unless assigned to guard an area, a warclan remains in constant motion.
The Valenar elves slowly seek to expand their territory, but they are more interested in battle than land. Q'barra and Karrnath remain frequent targets of raids, and Karrnath has established forts in the Talenta Plains to engage the elves before they reach their borders.
A member of the Valaes Tairn values his horse and his patron ancestor above all things. Determined at birth by the clerics of the Valaes Tairn, the spirit of a patron ancestor watches over the warrior, and the elf does everything in his power to emulate and honor his patron.
Males and females hold equal positions among the elves of Valenar, and both ride into battle. The Valenar elves have a taste for art, music, and dance, but everything revolves around war. Their fine weapons and delicate armor are their works of art, and their songs recount the great deeds of the elf warriors of Xen'drik.
Humans still live in Valenar. Once citizens of Cyre, these peasants and farmers have simply changed overlords. The elves have no interest in agriculture, so the humans produce food for the elf warriors in exchange for protection, and life goes on as it does in any farming community.
The Valaes Tairn consists of a league of individual warclans, not an organized legion. All Valenar elves owe fealty to the high king. Forty-five warclans roam Valenar. At any time, twenty of the warclans — the Host of Valenar — are under the direct command of the high king. Ten of these maintain order throughout the realm, while the rest engage in military operations dictated by the crown. A warclan's service in the Host of Valenar lasts for ten years, after which a new warclan takes its place.
The other warclans are free to conduct military operations and raids as they see fit, though the high king can call upon them as he deems necessary. Many young elves leave Valenar for a decade or so in search of personal glory and adventure.
A warrior who performs a service for the high king may receive a title and a tract of land. However, the elves prefer to remain in constant motion, and few lords maintain a manor or keep.
Power Groups
Due to the fluid structure of Valenar, few groups have great influence in the land. Each warclan is a military force to be reckoned with, but most are more concerned with winning glory in battle than with political intrigue.
The dragonmarked houses operate in Taer Valaestas, but only House Lyrandar has significant influence in the realm. House Vadalis has been banned for horse stealing, and Houses Thuranni and Phiarlan are not welcome.
House Lyrandar: The khoravar of House Lyrandar have been granted significant parcels of land inside Valenar in exchange for raincalling services and agricultural assistance. Lyrandar also helps with many administrative tasks in Taer Valaestas. While the khoravar maintain a neutral position, there is no question that they have garnered influence within Valenar.
The Keepers of the Past: The priesthood of the Valenar elves, the Keepers of the Past maintain the memory of the great elf heroes of Xen'drik. Members of the order travel with warclans to ensure that the warriors bring honor to their ancestors. The Keepers hold tremendous power; if they turned against the high king, many elves would take their side.
The Valenar elves share the religious beliefs of the elves of Aerenal, but with a slightly different focus. They respect the councilors of the Undying Court, but have a greater reverence for the elven heroes of Xen'drik. Each warrior has a patron ancestor and seeks to emulate his ancestor through deeds that let the ancestor live again, after a fashion
The spiritual leaders of the Valaes Tairn, the Keepers of the Past, include both clerics of the Undying Court and bards. War leaders train in bardic traditions to inspire their troops and recount the deeds of their ancestors.

HOUSTON, TX — Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC), in conjunction with the operator of the Jubilee field, Tullow Oil plc, and other partners including the Ghanaian government, announced that first oil from the Jubilee field offshore Ghana will be celebrated today. His Excellency John Atta Mills, President of Ghana, will be the guest of honor at the ceremony.
"Achieving first oil from the Jubilee field just three-and-a-half years after our first deepwater discovery was made offshore Ghana is a remarkable accomplishment by the partnership and the Ghanaian government," Anadarko Chairman and CEO Jim Hackett said. "Today marks a historic occasion for the people of Ghana, and Anadarko is proud to have played a role in the development of these essential resources in a resource-constrained world."
The First Oil celebration is scheduled to take place on board the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel the Kwame Nkrumah, and later at the Jubilee project's shore base in Takoradi, Ghana.
Oil first flowed into the FPSO on Nov. 28, 2010, and this oil has been used to commission the facilities. Immediately following first oil, well capacity will be 55,000 barrels of oil per day, and as new wells are completed over a three-to-six month period, production is expected to ramp up to approximately 120,000 barrels per day.
"Congratulations to all of those involved in making this world-class project a reality," Anadarko President and Chief Operating Officer Al Walker said. "Each company provided complementary skills and experience to the integrated project team and worked in a well-coordinated manner with the government of Ghana to deliver first oil from Jubilee, safely, on time and on budget."
Anadarko owns a 23.49-percent working interest in the Jubilee Unit. Tullow Oil plc is the operator with a 34.70-percent working interest. Other co-owners in the unit include Kosmos Energy (23.49-percent working interest), Sabre Oil and Gas (2.81-percent working interest), E.O. Group (1.75-percent working interest) and GNPC (13.75-percent working interest).
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation's mission is to deliver a competitive and sustainable rate of return to shareholders by exploring for, acquiring and developing oil and natural gas resources vital to the world's health and welfare. As of year-end 2009, the company had approximately 2.3 billion barrels-equivalent of proved reserves, making it one of the world's largest independent exploration and production companies.

Kilburn's Tricycle Theatre transformed with £7m revamp and new name Kiln Theatre
PUBLISHED: 11:53 12 April 2018 | UPDATED: 08:23 13 April 2018
©ALASTAIR MUIR CONTACT email@example.com
The Tricycle Theatre re-opens in September with a brand new name and an "ambitious" adaptation of Zadie Smith's Willesden-set novel White Teeth.
Following a two-year, £7million refurbishment, it will expand from 235 to 296 seats with a café, improved bar and foyer – and the name Kiln above the door.
Artistic director Indhu Rubasingham has spent the closure period programming a year's worth of work including six premieres, a community play, a musical, and their biggest production yet, which vividly brings to life Smith's portrait of the area where she grew up.
"We will re-open two years after we closed our doors and I felt this new beginning was the right time for a name change," said Indhu.
"I wanted a name that rooted us in Kilburn's community and that reflects the company's programming and ethos – that idea of energy and creativity. We're building on from where we have come and heading on the next stage of the journey."
Pledging to keep ticket prices "accessible" with 10,000 at £12.50 or under, Indhu said work by playwrights from India, France and the UK, tackling race, sexuality, religion and gender, would "celebrate both our local communities and our international reach".
"It's exciting to be opening the theatre with work which hasn't been seen before," she added. "It's a mark of trying to do work that's much more ambitious with wider reach."
Stephen Sharkey spent four years adapting Smith's debut novel, which the former Mallorees and Hampstead School pupil published in 2000 soon after leaving Cambridge.
"It's the biggest show we've ever done with a cast of 14 and a live band," said Indhu.
"We are really celebrating this area and the melting pot of different communities – where nothing has melted and it's all stuck together in a gooey mess. Zadie hasn't been involved in the creative process but she's very much on board"
Smith added: "I couldn't be prouder than to know White Teeth has found a home at this new transformed theatre so close to my heart and so essential to the community it serves."
The season opens with Alexis Zegerman's Holy Sh!t – about two university friends applying to primary school for their four-year-old daughters.
"It's about the lengths they will go to get their kids into the best school – in this case a church school – and how that touches bonds of family, faith and friendship," said Indhu.
Following on from the twin successes of The Mother and The Father, is The Son, the third play in Florian Zeller's trilogy. It has its British premiere at the Kiln.
"It's a beautiful play about family breakdown and how it affects the teenage son," Indhu explained.
Ishy Din's Approaching Empty is "a drama with humour" set in a minicab office in the north-east in the aftermath of Margaret Thatcher's death. "It's about the friendship between two immigrants and the tension between them brought about by politics and business," said Indhu. "It looks at the industrial communities that were devastated by Thatcherite policies."
Samuel Adamson's Wife is set between 1959 and 2042 and "follows familial links over several generations to look at how society expectations and ideas of sexuality and gender have changed over time".
Set in Chicago in 1939, Blues in The Night stars Sharon D Clarke and is directed by Hackney Empire artistic director Susie McKenna.
"It's an evocative, heartfelt piece," said Indhu. "The songs are amazing. To have Sharon D Clarke singing in our theatre is so exciting. She could sing the telephone directory and I would pay to hear her."
Community play A Friendly Society will examine the history of Brent and The Foresters Friendly Society, who originally occupied the Kilburn High Road venue in 1929. The multi-generational play will have 100 local participants and gather oral histories through a series of workshops and archive research."It will look at this society which looked after its local community in a pre-social-services, pre-social-care society," said Indhu.
The Tricycle grew out of Shirley Barrie and Kenneth Chubb's Wakefield Tricycle Company, a fringe theatre based in the Pindar of Wakefield Pub in King's Cross in the 1970s. When they moved to permanent premises in Kilburn High Road, it became simply The Tricycle.
Now Indhu says the "beautifully refurbished building will "futureproof" the famous venue.

The inaugural Dream Factory event that wrapped up in Liverpool yesterday at the International Festival of Business 2014 has already brought a new project to the city. UK-based Red Union Films, Pinewood Pictures, and international distributor and financier IM Global have announced plans to co-produce eight-part crime thriller The Killing Pool. Set in Liverpool, the project is based on the novel by Kevin Sampson (Awaydays, Powder). The first in the series was published in March 2013 and features drug surveillance specialist DCI Billy McCartney as he unpeels the layers of an intercontinental heroin-dealing dynasty, forcing him to confront his ultimate nemesis. Production is set to start in early 2015.
IM Global founder and CEO Stuart Ford and Sampson are both Liverpudlians who curated the two-day Dream Factory feature film festival in partnership with UK talent management firm Independent. The event was designed to showcase local opportunities and welcomed such speakers as Mike Hodges and Mike Newell. Sampson said bringing "this caliber of production to our home city gives Stuart and myself an added buzz. Baltimore, Copenhagen, Louisiana, Malmo — now Liverpool Noir is set to make its mark." (The book's title is a reference to "The Killing Moon," a song by Merseyside band Echo and the Bunnymen.)
This is a first step towards TV series production for IM Global and is part of a growing trend that sees film companies get in on the lucrative business. That's especially true in the UK where TV production is bustling thanks in part to the TV tax credit that provides great breaks on shows with at least a £1M per-hour pricetag. Ford noted, "The Killing Pool has all the ingredients to be a phenomenally successful international thriller series and we're delighted to be onboard with Red Union and Pinewood."

Tax - POSTED: 2008/02/21 15:59
Overall, the number of individual income-tax audits reached a 10-year high in 2007 – and the IRS plans to increase that number this year.
The push comes as the agency faces heavy pressure from Congress to raise additional revenue and shrink the nation's $290 billion "tax gap," the difference between what's collected and what should be collected.
IRS research indicates that much of the tax noncompliance is committed by self-employed workers, such as consultants and small-business owners, whose taxes aren't withheld from their pay and whose income isn't reported separately.
This year, "we will continue to focus on audits of high-income individuals," said Linda Stiff, the IRS's acting commissioner.
In addition, agents have increased audits of taxpayers involved in partnerships and businesses organized as "S corporations."
For the vast majority of taxpayers, the odds of getting audited remain low. Only about 1 percent of all individual returns filed in recent years have been audited. But the chances now are higher than just a few years ago.
The IRS relies on numerous techniques to choose which returns to audit. Many are selected using a secret computerized-scoring system that the IRS recently updated, which is based on a continuing research project involving in-depth audits of thousands of returns. Computer programs assign each tax return a score that evaluates the potential for inaccuracies, based on the IRS's experience with similar returns.
Others are picked because of "mismatches" – which means that something a taxpayer reported doesn't match what was reported separately to the IRS by employers or financial institutions.
Some returns get audited because they were done by a tax preparer the IRS suspects of wrongdoing.
Then there are those that get selected because of a tip from confidential informants, such as a former business partner or ex-spouse.

Preacher is an American television series developed by Sam Catlin, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen for AMC starring Dominic Cooper. It is an adaptation of the comic book series Preacher created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, and published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. The series was officially picked up on September 9, 2015,[1] with a ten-episode order which premiered on May 22, 2016.[2] On June 29, 2016, AMC renewed the series for a 13-episode second season that premiered on June 25, 2017
Fulfilling a promise to his deceased father, one-time outlaw Jesse Custer returns home to West Texas to take over his dad's church. Jesse's mission, however, becomes twisted when his body is overcome by a cryptic force that unleashes within him a highly unconventional power. Together with hell-raising ex-girlfriend Tulip and Irish vagabond Cassidy, the preacher-in-training embarks on a journey to find God in a world inhabited by holy, hellish, and everything-in-between characters. The darkly comedic "Preacher" is based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's popular 1990s comic book franchise of the same name. Executive producers include Sam Catlin ("Breaking Bad"), and Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ("Superbad," "Neighbors").

Love, love, love – love is all you need. The lyrics from a Beatles song and the title of a new leaflet that I had published.
I wanted something that would communicate God's love for us and so, as is my want, I decided to write and produce an appropriate leaflet. I also decided to get some balloons with a message saying "God loves you' or similar. I wrote the leaflet with Valentine's Day in mind although it is carefully worded so that it can be used at any time of the year.
So armed with a box of leaflet and balloons a small team of braved the bitterly cold and took to the streets of Truro. The flaw in my plan quickly became apparent as I discovered I was the only one who could blow up the balloons and fix them to their sticks – at least that's what the team told me. So I spent the next hour and a half blowing up 40+ balloons with no gloves on whilst they went off giving away balloons and leaflets and having a number of good conversations. I think the rest of the balloons are likely to sit in my utility room until the summer when it is a bit warmer and then we'll try again.

Calliope Introduces Dicey Peaks
Every time we meet with Calliope Games at a convention, they bring a pile of games, many of which are from their Titans Series. But at this year's Toyfair got us a sneak peek at something they are bringing to Kickstarter soon: Dicey Peaks!
The game is a racing game by Tiny Epic Scott Almes (also Best Treehouse Ever, The Great Dinosaur Rush, Harbour). In Dicey Peaks the players are all mountain climbers looking to obtain their fame by being the first to reach the peak and plant the red flag. The mountain is created by laying out 21 tiles in ascending order face-down. In typical push-your-luck style, you'll get to roll a number of dice equal to the level of the mountain you are on.
There are 13 dice split into 3 levels (the ones in the picture are just demo copies. The real dice will be etched and made to look like ice!). Some dice help you move faster, but are more likely to bust while other dice are safer, but slow your progress.
On your turn, you can roll until you are happy with the results (or run out of dice or bust) and the results of your roll will determine what you can do with your turn; how far you can move up the mountain, how much oxygen you regain from resting, and whether or not a Yeti chases you all over the place. Fun!
As you ascend the mountain you also have to manage your oxygen as the air gets thinner the higher you go. Every time you move you will lose air and at the very peak of the mountain, if you get to zero, your character passes out and you are out of the game! This might not seem that hard to manage, but the mountain is treacherous. When you land on a tile it turns over; it and can be nothing more than pleasant vistas, easy climbs, or terrible obstacles that can slide you down the mountain and deplete your oxygen levels.
Andrew: I love that there is the danger of player elimination, but only once you reach the upper peak. That turns the last few rolls into super tense make-or-break moments, while still letting other players stay in the game if they have bad luck on the lower portion of the mountain.
Jess: I think this one is going to be a winner. The game looks easy to learn, has some nice components, and it seems like it is going to be a quick play.

As a special treat for CatholicMom readers, Lisa Hendey convinced me to offer four exclusive excerpts from the new book The Four Keys to Everlasting Love: How Your Catholic Marriage Can Bring You Joy for a Lifetime (Ave Maria Press, 2016). To learn more about what's inside The Four Keys, you can read Lisa's interview of me and my co-author, hubby Dr. Manuel Santos, by clicking here.
Without further ado, here is the introduction to our book's Part I: Called to Be Faithful and Forgiving!
Two Become One for Life
In each part of this book, we'll tell you about one of the four keys to everlasting love—the faithful, free, fruitful, and total love that Jesus gives to us and that we can share with our beloved. Part 1 of this book describes the call to faithfulness, which must be paired with the call to forgiveness.
People in love have an intense desire to always to be true to each other in thought, word, and deed. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says they yearn for an "unbreakable union" (CCC, 1646), and they never want their differences to drive them apart (CCC, 2365).
And yet, all too often, reality intrudes. Husbands and wives are different from one another, and overcoming their differences can be a real struggle. Remaining faithful to their lifelong promise requires constant, small, and loving acts of forgiveness.
The graces of the Sacrament of Matrimony and especially the Sacrament of Penance, or Confession, will help you to stay true to your marital vocation. Infidelity can present a powerful temptation. Christ would never betray his Church, but spouses sometimes do betray one another through adultery or abandonment (CCC, 2381, 2384–2386). God's grace in your marriage is a powerful force to keep potential infidelities at bay and usher you all the way to the doors of his heavenly kingdom.
Faithfulness to your spouse expands to encompass his or her family as well. When marriage joins two people, it also binds their two families together. Communication, compromise, and forgiveness are essential to cementing this bond. And the bonds you forge between your families can be the start of unity and peace in your corner of the world.

Steven Heller Defends Shepard Fairey Using History as His Guide
While this writer was away from any and all computers for a few days there, he was fairly sure that doing so would give everyone plenty of time to take a deep breath from all the recent coverage of the Associated Press vs. Shepard Fairey battle. Fortunately, not only does that seem to be the case, but we returned to find that our old pal Steven Heller had penned a great essay for the NY Times putting Fairey's copyright borrowing/theft (depending on the side you've picked) into historical perspective. Even if you hate Fairey and particularly dislikes how much of others' work he tends to put into his own pieces, it's a great read for looking at his work from a much further distance than "hey, that looks like that other thing" which we're all often guilty of from time to time. We particularly enjoyed this section, which seems to almost explain Fairey in full in just a few short lines:
Comparisons have been made between Fairey and Andy Warhol's transfiguration of the Brillo Box into an evocation of pop culture; he is also linked to the skateboarder practice of ripping off and then satirically twisting mainstream corporate logos and brands by altering a name or symbol. His sensibility is perhaps even more reminiscent of the old Mad magazine advertising parodies and their derivative, Wacky Packs, which send up mainstream products by co-opting and changing their names.


text: SAVE By Nick Bautista In a culture that's deeply rooted in patriarchal values, being a woman is a struggle. You are told that motherhood is your only purpose and that pursuing a career is unnecessary because you could just find a husband to depend on—'til death do you part. But luckily, it's the 21st century and Filipina mothers are extraordinary beings of pure love (mixed with a whole lot of ferocity). So here are super celeb moms who win at life!
