ok I will give you a sample of the files, what these files are , are logs from the output of the namedxfer daemon within bind 9.2.2. What I am seeing is that I am have a large lack of transfers to a single server in Atl, GA and I can not get my network Nazi's here at work to do anymore digging as they say their switch is fine. What I want to do is take the log and split it into three files one for each "Master Server" so ns1, ns2, and ns3.mycompany.com from these three files I want to compare the three to find out when and where I have degridation on my network so I can go back to the NetEng group with hard evidence that there is a network issue.
Here is a small exert from a parsed file for a single server.

Across Europe, a crisis of social democracy prevails. Deindustrialisation precipitates a breakdown of the communities, institutions and interests that held the social democratic and labour movements together. A collapse in everyday life passes over into a steady decline in the electoral realm. Elsewhere, a crisis of social reproduction ensues. The relationship between the wage and subsistence weakens, public services face cutbacks and a generalised dispossession of people from the commons continues apace. This triple crisis- of the society of work, social reproduction and social democracy- is a triple crisis of the social. The universal basic income (UBI) is suggested by many as a means by which the social synthesis can be pieced back together. In this paper we explore whether or not UBI lives up to the claims made for its implementation, and to what extent it addresses these three crises. We ultimately pose the question whether UBI offers a solution to the crisis of social democracy, and whether, on this basis, European social democrats should pursue the policy as a central demand of a new electoral offer. We conclude that the policy cannot be suggested as a solution to the crises of work and social reproduction, at least not without being complemented by a range of other measures. A suite of reforms could strengthen its impact and ensure it is used to nurture and preserve positive social relations that reflect social democratic ideas, rather than contrary outcomes implied in alternative visions of the UBI proposed from both right and left of the political spectrum.

We periodically talk about cleaning up the unused handles. Also, we (very) ocassionally see handles that are, well, less than professional.

I propose we add a power, accessible to a very select set of users, that allows only the most trusted to cancel new user registrations. Here's how I see it working:
 <READMORE>

A new user registers a handle. We send them their password and put a message on the notification screen indicating that their account is provisional, pending approval of the staff for account naming guidelines.

The new user can log in and post as normal.

The "approval council" either approves or denies the account name using a mechanism similar to [nodes to consider|ntc] (or janitorial nuking), including a (signed) comment.

If the handle gets too many unapproved votes, it's automatically deleted, ala [nodereaper|Mr. Skinny]. A message is sent to the registered email address; this contains the signed comment.

If the new handle gets mixed reviews, one of the Council could send an email (also like a certain node that currently exists) allowing the user to voluntarily cancel their account.

A new button is added to User Settings that lets you cancel your account.

This is processed 24 hours later, giving someone a change to cool down.

Any nodes posted by a cancelled account are reassigned to [anonymous monk|AnonyMonk]

Normally, I would not recommend this type of change, but it seems to have become necessary and this proposal helps address other problems we've talked about from time to time.

Again: This would only be available to a very select set of users, generally [vroom] and a few others that've earned his trust (not necessaily the [editors|cleaning staff]).

I believe it would help:

Weed out the inactives, generally those that registered but have never logged in. (Wait a year, though, before dropping someone.)

Cancel certain, shall we say, clearly trollish handles (including those registered over the last several hours).

Allow folks a gentle way to retire.

Thoughts? Comments?

New study: Consensual sex causes as many vaginal injuries as rape
JohnThomas Didymus
Apr 1, 2012 in
A new study of methods for investigating rape shows that vaginal injuries are as common in consensual sex as in rape. The study raises questions about investigation methods that assume vaginal injuries are evidence of forced intercourse or rape.
A common procedure in the investigation of rape worldwide is to look for lesions in the vagina as evidence of sexual assault and in many cases men have been found guilt of rape and sentenced to long prison terms based on evidence of vaginal injuries.
The new study, titled:
Nature, frequency and duration of genital lesions after consensual sexual intercourse—Implications for legal proceedings
, compared rape victims with nursing students at the University of South Denmark. The study showed that vaginal injuries are as common in consensual sex as in rape and that relying on vaginal injuries as evidence of rape may present a very misleading picture in investigation of alleged cases of rape.
The study involved 110 nursing students in their early 20s and 39 rape victims at the Center for Rape Victims at the Odense University Hospital. All were given a medical examination less than 28 hours after intercourse or rape.
Science Nordic
reports Birgitte Schmidt Astrup, medical scientist and PhD student at the University of South Denmark's Institute of Forensic Medicine, said: "I have tried to examine the students for everything I could imagine would cause vaginal injuries, even the duration of the intercourse. But I had to figure it out all by myself because there is no scientific literature I could use as reference points."
The results showed that vaginal injuries were found in 36 percent of rape victims and in 34 percent of nursing students. The study found that the rate of injuries in the nursing students reporting consensual sex was not affected by whether the students reported gentle or rough sex or whether their partners had used condoms or sex toys.
Daily Mail
reports similar information was difficult to get from rape victims because most did not keep track of the details of the incident.
Science Nordic
reports Astrup, commenting on the study results, said: "The findings are extremely interesting. The nursing students experience just as frequent vaginal injuries as rape victims, and so these injuries cannot be used for much more than to establish that intercourse has taken place." She added: "This is the first time that results like these have been quantified, and that's important. It's a useful tool for forensic investigation, and it also provides much greater certainty when a professional can tell the court that 34 percent of women get injuries from voluntary intercourse, instead of saying 'It's my personal experience that women may not get injuries from voluntary intercourse'."
Daily Mail
notes Astrup comments on the long history of using vaginal injuries as evidence of rape and wonders how often there have been miscarriages of justice in the past.
She added: "Before I came up with some of these figures, the investigators were inclined to take the case seriously when there were injuries and less seriously when there were no injuries."
Although the figure for injuries remained about the same for consensual sex as rape, the study said there appeared to be an increased risk of multiple injuries in forced intercourse, and in rape, injuries tended to be more severe. The study also pointed to the fact that different women have different types of vaginal mucous membranes and the severity of vaginal injuries was related to type of mucous membrane.
Science Nordic
reports U.S. researchers have also shown that white women sustain four or five times as many vaginal injuries in consensual sex as women of other races.
reports that the findings published in the journal Forensic Science International, are influencing Danish police procedure for investigating rape cases and may also influence investigation of rape in other parts of the world.
According to
Science Nordic
, through meetings, lectures and collaboration with police, Astrup has been able to convince police investigators that presence of lesions in the vaginal tract is not an essential aspect of investigation of rape cases. Police Superintendent Jack Liedecke, said: "Her work is frequently included in our investigations because she conducts frequent studies of rape victims."

REVEALED: Chelsea lead Arsenal, United and City in race for Luke Shaw
CHELSEA are first in line to snap up Southampton star Luke Shaw following the resignation of chairman Nicola Cortese.
Cortese's departure could lead to Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino following him out of the club, having said last May he would quit were the Italian to leave St Mary's.
And fears over an exodus of top talent are growing, led by England Under-21 left-back Shaw.
Shaw - who supports Chelsea and had a trial at the club's development centre aged eight - is wanted by a host of Premier League sides.
Jose Mourinho wants the 18-year-old to be the long-term replacement for Ashley Cole at Stamford Bridge and has already seen a £21million offer rejected.
Express Sport understands Chelsea's bid of £15m cash plus £6m-rates Ryan Bertrand was rejected, but they are likely to up their offer as they bid to take advantage of the chaos at the South Coast club.
However, Arsenal and both Manchester United and City are monitoring Shaw's situation.

I am using Excel. I have a date in Coloum B and in Column C I want to have another date that is 29 days after the date in Column B. =b1+29 does not work, it only adds to the year. I have the date with a custom format of 00\/00\/0000. Help!?
As far as I can tell, your Custom Format only stores your Date as a Number,
NOT a real DATE, so all your doing is adding 29 to your number:
Your custom format shows: 04/26/2013
but Excel sees 4262013
so adding 29 simply gets you 4262013 + 29 = 4262042
Why not just use the regular Date formats?
Would make doing Date Math a lot easier.
Changed the custom to an actual date and just adding to the date works great now. Thank you!

In the Que: Beach House 3 by Ty Dolla $ign
Check out Que's review on this star-studded album
You know, some people like to call winter the cuddling/cuffing season. Well, just know it's not official this year until the speakers in your bedroom are playing Beach House 3! A long time ago I said Ty Dolla $ign was going to be the next Nate Dogg, but that was disrespectful. You can't compare this guy to anyone. He's creating his own identity.
Beach House 3 is the second studio album from the Los Angeles native. I'm not really a big R&B fan, but I think this album has changed that. Ty Dolla $ign collaborated with some major artists for this project. It features Lil Wayne, Pharrell, Tory Lanez, The Dream, YG, Future, Swae Lee, Wiz Khalifa, Damian Marley, Lauren Jauregui and more.
This is an album everyone can relate to. The song with Lauren Jauregui, titled "In Your Phone," is the perfect example. I get cussed out every time me and my girl go to a restaurant and I'm on my phone. Every male should DEFINITELY listen to this album. There's another song called "Side Effects" that's 100% facts. It's like the females try to warn us about the side effects, but we don't listen until it's too late and we're laying sleepless on our back in the middle of the night. Pay close attention to the song with Future and Swae Lee called "Don't Judge Me." That track has the potential to mess up the charts. "Ex," the track featuring YG, is the song that makes me get up and move around! It might be the hot sampled beat, or it might be the lyrics, that make you want to text your main girl, "I'm not coming back home." I don't know, but it's dope.
Ty Dolla $ign also linked up with some hot producers like Mike Will Made It, DJ Mustard, Skrillex, Mike Dean, Apex Martin, MariiBeatz, Dun Deal, and James Royo to make this album come to life.
So, if you have a heartbeat, breath, and ears that work, you should LOVE this 20 song album. I don't care if you're falling in love, going to the club, or breaking up with your main girl, there's a song on this album for you.
Beach House 3 gets 4 out of 5 flames.
- "Famous"
- "Famous Lies"
- "Love U Better" Ft. Lil Wayne & The Dream
- "Ex" Ft. Yg
- "Famous Excuses"
- "Droptop in the Rain" f/ Tory Lanez
- "Don't Judge Me" Ft.Future & Swae Lee
- "Dawsin's Breek" Ft, Jeremih
- "Don't Sleep On Me" Ft. Future & 24Hrs
- "Stare" Ft. Pharrell Williams & Wiz Khalifa

- "So Am I" Ft. Damian Marley & Skrillex

- "In Your Phone" Ft. Lauren Jauregui

Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen Making Plans to Join Taylor Swift in Los Angeles
Entertainment| |
Taylor Swift has five dates booked at the Staples Center from August, 21, 2015 and Ian McKellen has confirmed he and his X-Men castmate are making plans to attend one after the two Brits confessed their love for Swift in July 2015, and begged her to invite them into her inner circle, which includes pals like models Lily Aldridge and Karlie Kloss, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham and Cara Delevingne.
The thespians impressed Swift when they recited the lyrics to her most recent hits during a U.S. radio interview and Stewart took to Twitter and wrote, "So @IanMcKellen recited Bad Blood and I did Blank Space on @NPRAskMeAnother. May we join the squad, @taylorswift13?"
So @IanMcKellen recited Bad Blood and I did Blank Space on @NPRAskMeAnother. May we join the squad, @taylorswift13? https://t.co/liKBfSzIaU
— Patrick Stewart (@SirPatStew) July 16, 2015
The singer was alerted to the correspondence and responded, "Thanks for reciting my lyrics, @IanMcKellen and @SirPatStew! You've made my day. You two are ULTIMATE Squad Goals." She also posted several photos of the thespians, including one of Stewart's wedding day in 2013, which was officiated by McKellen, on social media.
Thrilled Stewart couldn't contain his excitement in a follow-up tweet, writing, "OMG I DIE!!! (no really, I might. I'm old.)"
OMG I DIE!!! (no really, I might. I'm old.) https://t.co/q4u7FIcMYr
— Patrick Stewart (@SirPatStew) July 17, 2015
And now McKellen tweets, "(She's) coming to town. I think we're working on that. I mean, she's invited us into her squad!"
Swift's tour dates have become all about her surprise guests – she has recently shared the stage with the stars of her Bad Blood video, the U.S. women's soccer team, rapper Fetty Wap and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his girlfriend Ciara.

Calling all Health2.0 enthusiasts for RHoK, June 4th & 5th
Guest blogger Christine Crowley invites members of #hcsmca to take part in Random Hacks of Kindness.
By Christine Crowley (@pharmaengage)
Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK) is a joint initiative between Microsoft, Google, Yahoo!, NASA, and the World Bank, with the objective of creating solutions that have an impact in disaster management and crisis response. This objective is met through holding semi-annual global hackathons (marathon coding events) taking place simultaneously in 21 cities over a week-end. The event brings together subject matter experts in software development, open data, project management, graphic design, videography, emergency management, technology, research, knowledge translation, logistics, just to name a few. Over the week-end, teams are formed to create software & technology solutions for problem definitions pre-selected and provided by RHoK. This is a competition with prizes to be won too. Take a look at some winning hacks.
RHoK in Canada
The first RHoK event in Canada was held last December in Toronto. (See pictures). The next RHoK event (RHoK 3.0) is scheduled for June 4th & 5th, 2011 and it will be the first with an expanded focus on both disaster risk and climate change. RHoK has issued a call to action to send challenges their way.
So what does this have the do with #hcsmca?
RHoK encourages each hackathon location to reach out to local subject matter experts in related fields, such as communications and public health. That's you!
If your organization or community has challenges that could benefit from Health 2.0 solutions, we would love to hear from you and encourage you to submit your project.
Still not convinced? Look at case study "Height-Catcher"
A medically-relevant solution that won first place in Birmingham at RHoK 2.0 is a tool called Height-Catcher: a camera-based tool for Android phones that measures the height of children (as a surrogate for malnutrition) and used in humanitarian relief camps where lugging cumbersome height measuring tools is impractical. Please see blogpost for a review of the completed tool.
This example made me recall a tool that was proposed by @haltonparents during the April 20th #hcsmca Tweetchat:
As described in a powerful testimonial on the @haltonparents' blog, the importance of identifying development delays in a child as early as possible is a good reason why the Nipissing District Developmental Screen (NDDS) should be made into an application that not only helps parents screen for developmental delays quickly and easily but also helps communicate the results with a paediatrician in a timely manner, e.g., in the form of a emailed report, or better yet, as a colleague suggested, why not integrate the data into an open data medical record system? The resulting application could be made accessible worldwide.
Additional information
The RHoK curation team is looking for projects that are fun, useful, educational, and that can be accomplished in a weekend.

Inventions and Technological Advances
Spurred on by the promise of great riches and the rigours of intellectual rivalry, the engineers and inventors who stepped up to the challenges of mining in Cornwall helped shape the modern world.
Discover centuries of Cornish innovation
When ore deposits at the surface or from shallow mines started to run out, miners needed to dig deeper underground to follow the rich, near-vertical mineral lodes that had formed millions of years ago along cracks or fissures in the rock.
Adits are long, slightly sloping tunnels created to drain water from mines by gravity; lowering the natural water table and shortening the distance water had to be brought up from below. Adits driven from the lowest suitable points were widely used in Cornish mines from c. 1700 onwards.
Camborne School of Mines began life in 1896, at a time when the mining industry saw the need for well instructed mineworkers with both theoretical and practical skills to improve the efficiency of the mining process.
Water power was used from the very early days of Cornish mining to help run equipment that removed water from mine workings. As the industry developed, so did the innovations for making the most of this natural commodity.
More than any other innovations in mining history, it was the landmark technical advances in steam pumping that marked the formative period of the Industrial Revolution in Cornwall and west Devon. By the end of the 18th century, large-scale, deep mining was made possible by the development of this new technology.
Blasting in mines was extremely dangerous. Holes were drilled by hand, a charge of gunpowder inserted, tamped, and a fuse lit to fire the hole. Rudimentary powder-filled reed or goose-quill fuses burned unpredictably, resulting in countless accidents to miners involving blinding, loss of fingers, mutilation and death.
A high-pressure steam rock-boring engine, which also lifted and loaded the stone for transport, was designed by Richard Trevithick and built by Henry Harvey at his foundry in Hayle. Mining rock drills, however, were not adopted in the region until the last quarter of the 19th century – well after Joseph Fowle of Boston, USA, invented his machine in 1851.
Unlike coal mines, Cornish tin and copper mines did not usually suffer from the dangers associated with the presence of explosive gases. Candles were therefore in use well into the 20th century, when they were replaced by acetylene gas and later electric lamps.
In its mining heyday Cornwall was a centre of world-changing innovation and engineering. A number of leading minds worked long hours to pioneer solutions for some of the greatest problems of the day. Initially, many of the steam engine erectors and engineers came from outside Cornwall. They were originally agents or representatives of the pioneering Midlands foundries, which had supplied most of the parts for the early beam engines. Some settled in Cornwall to work.

13 Russian nationals indicted in Mueller investigation on charges related to meddling in US elections
ABC News(WASHINGTON) — The Justice Department on Friday indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian groups of violating criminal laws with the intent to interfere "with U.S. elections and political processes," according to the agency.
The indictment depicts an elaborate scheme in which some of the Russians accused allegedly came to the U.S. with the deliberate intention of undermining the American political and electoral process, including the 2016 presidential election.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said the Russians charged called their work "information warfare against the United States" with the goal of spreading distrust of candidates and the political system in general.
Some defendants "communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump campaign" without revealing their association with Russia. The indictment also says the defendants posted negative information about a number of candidates during the last general election.
The individuals operated social media pages and groups designed to attract American audiences with a strategic goal to "sow discord in the U.S. political system". They staged rallies and had a basic infrastructure which included computers and other support systems.
Ultimately, the "defendants' operations included supporting the presidential campaign on then-candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaging Hillary Clinton" his Democratic rival, according to the indictment.
According to the agency, "the indictment charges all of the defendants with conspiracy to defraud the United States, three defendants with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud, and five defendants with aggravated identity theft."
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said the president has been briefed on the indictments.

It can be a rather straigtforward theme - if you want it to be. Everyone has been sick at least a few times, and it's easy to imagine Tolkien's characters in such situation. Elves are an exception - they supposedly don't get sick from natural causes, but that still leaves some unnatural causes to your fantasy (dark magic? poison? maybe the sealonging can be viewed as a sickness as well?). Middle-earth is based on our world, and one can assume that the same bacteria and viruses would plaque its non-elvish population as to plaque us. But some types of sickness don't have an equivalent in our world, and our medicine would not be able to deal with them, like Frodo's illness in the anniversaries of his injuries.
Besides a disease though, there can be also other forms of sickness, which are more about the state of the mind. Remember the dragon-sickness of Thorin, or madness of Denethor, for example. Even a simple home-sickness falls into this cathegory. The land can get sick as well: imagine the scars that Sauron's rule left in Mordor, the Brown lands that used to be the Ent-wives' gardens once, or what Saruman was able to do in the Shire in even a short time. A sick land can be healed just like a sick person, but it can take much, much longer - and just like with human healing, some scars are left forever.
P.S. March is also Back to Middle-earth month. The 2015 theme is "Tharbad's Greenway Spring Faire" - a big marketplace with prompts and fanworks for all! The full rules can be found here.
P.P.S. not really serious note from Mirach: This theme would be great for a House MD in Middle-earth crossover :D Would someone like to write that? *puppy eyes*
And the winners are:
Happy reading and congratulations to the winners!

6 Things To Look Out For At AWS re:Invent 2018
Serverless computing, machine learning, blockchain and indoor canals! Cloudreach Head of EMEA, Chris Bunch, looks ahead to AWS re:Invent 2018, the platform's headline, annual event.
That's right, in just a matter of days, team AWS and its legions of fans take over Clark County, Nevada to celebrate the new innovations announced live on stage in fabulous Las Vegas.
This will be my fifth such show, and they get bigger, and more strategic to Cloudreach, each year. I've written about the event several times before (most recently here and here), and, indeed, there's plenty of more veteran posts on logistics (see Eric Hammond's great summary here), so this time I thought I'd focus on what I think might be announced...and indeed what the team at Cloudy Towers would like to see!
Oh, crystal ball, what does the future hold?
Well, as always, anyone who makes money in the ecosystem around AWS will be both excited and slightly terrified as new innovations move the platform both up and along the stack,expanding into new areas year on year. It's awesome if you're a consumer...less so if you're an ISV, If you're not energised by that, I recommend a partnership with Oracle or IBM instead. The cloud world moves fast.
More generally, I'd expect big themes around:
1) Serverless computing
If you've missed AWS Lambda, and the related Serverless/FaaS revolution, I'm not sure what rock you've been hiding under, but you can expect a lot on this topic as the new paradigm for development - especially from Werner in his keynote. Perhaps he'll even hint further at the future beyond and a look into conversational programming (can you describe what you need, but don't know how to code? This is for you).
2) AI and ML
AWS has come on leaps and bounds from the service announcements last year, and you can expect a big push here. All the major vendors are chasing your data and indeed the future platform vision which is heavily tied into this area. Arguably GCP and Microsoft had made some better headway initially, but AWS is fighting back with serious force.
3) VMWare on AWS
Being honest, this doesn't particularly excite me in the guise of Cloudreach's current business model. We're very focused on the merits of true public cloud. Having said that, there is definitely both money and opportunity here and AWS are pushing this harder than I was expecting. Perhaps Pat Gelsinger will make another appearance on stage? I'm also expecting to see a major reference customer. Especially if Amazon is planning on 'going big' in 2019 in this area to combat AzureStack and GCP's partnership with Cisco.
4) Reduction in billing complexity
Pure speculation on my part, this one. Arguably, billing is a little too granular and complex in AWS.Where there's complexity, there's also an opportunity for a partner to simplify it (Cloudreach does this).
This is an area I generally expect them to make some noise around, but I may be wrong. Amazon is legitimately customer-obsessed and making a client worry about rightsizing and reservations isn't perhaps the most customer-obsessed design. Will we see the end of RIs?
5) Blockchain
Either AWS doesn't believe in it, or it is keeping quiet until there's something to announce. Whilst I've written before on blockchain being an answer to only a small subset of problems, it does solve those specific problems well. Will Amazon offer something? In my view, most value is in public blockchains, but it feels like there needs to be some noise in this space, even if just making noise about someone like Coinbase running on AWS.
6) Erm… "other"
Always expect the unexpected. I'm sure there will be some surprises, alongside a host of service updates and additions.
What kind of service updates and additions?
I asked our engineering community today for their list of desired features (full detail shared with AWS directly!). The top things they would love to see include:
- SMB support in EFS
- Org SCP to disable use of all Regions except those which have been centrally approved
- HTTP/s Proxy as a service
- VPN Client as a service with IAM integration
- Global VPC cross region
Looking forward to it?
100% 'Yes'! I'm perhaps not looking forward to the lack of sleep, massive crowds and seemingly endless walking but it's all part of the show. Every year, it just gets better. Bring it on.
Who can resist a hotel with a canal on the second floor? God bless Las Vegas.

City celebrates 23rd National Children's Month
November 23, 2015
Maupay nga kulop ha iyo nga tanan!
A children's smile is one of the most wonderful things that one can ever see in this world. If there is one lasting purpose for the celebration of the National Children's Month, it is to remind people of how precious and valuable each of these smiles is.
Sanglit dapat naton siguraduhon nga diri mapapara an hiyum ha ira mga nawong kay ini an usa nga senyales nga an aton kabataan nabubuhi nga malipayon, ngan waray kahadlukan ha ira mga kasing-kasing. Dinhi, mas dako an ira higayon nga madiskubre ngan ig-develop an ira tagsa-tagsa nga mga potensyal.
Kun mayda man rason nga dapat naton buhaton ini, waray na iba kun diri tungod kay ira ini katungod komo mga molupyo han aton nasud. Angay la nga matagamtaman nira ini nga mga katungod labi na kay dako ngan seryoso an implikasyon hini diri la para ha ira, kun diri pati gihap ha aton soyedad.
Diri naton maigdidiwara nga ini nga mga kabataan nga aanhi ha aton atubangan yana amo an masunod nga magdadara ngan mamumuno ha aton nasud. An ira kabubwason, kabubwason gihap naton. Amo ini an rason kun kay ano dapat hi kita nga tanan magburublig ha pagsiguro nga an aton mga komunidad hirayo ha pang-aabusar ngan pagtalapas ha ira katungod, nga amo an pinakadako nga nakakaulang ha ira development.
In a place where their rights are honoured, children are free to express their thoughts and feelings. To gain knowledge by exploring the world around them. To develop themselves. To discover their own identities. And lastly, to shape their own future.
Let us always remember that the kind of future we gain will depend on how we raise our children today. This brings to mind a poem entitled "Children Learn what they live", which goes like this:
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
When children are loved and protected, they also give back love in return along with appreciation, hope, trust and loyalty. If they are raised in this kind of environment, this is the kind of environment that they will aspire for in the future. This will be the legacy that they will pass to succeeding generations. This is the first step towards making the world a better place.

text: × Double Faucet Jockey Box - 48 Qt., Two 5/16" O.D. 70' SS Coils - Blue Jockey Boxes are ideal for outdoor or party beer dispensing. The jockey box allows you to dispense ice cold beer without having to keep the kegs themselves cool. Beer is pumped into the jockey box and through a stainless steel coil that is submerged in icewater. As it travels through the coils, it is cooled down and comes out nice and cold on the other side. These coils are superior to other brands due to their square coils that stand on legs to allow ice-cold water to chill beer from underneath and have more space between tubes which allows the water to chill beer faster. The double faucet jockey box allows you to dispense two beers at a time. This double faucet Jockey Box uses a blue colored 48-quart cooler with Ultratherm foam insulation for superior cold retention and rustproofed, leak-resistant drain that allows for drainage of excess water from the cooler. The cooler lid holds open at 95° for easy access and features heavy-duty side handles for easy carrying. Designed to dispense two kegs, the jockey box includes chrome-plated brass faucets with brass levers, black plastic faucet knobs, stainless steel shank and ice box coupler assemblies, and two 5/16" O.D. 70' Stainless Steel Coils. The cooler has external dimensions of 25.63" x 14.13" x 14.13" and internal dimensions 19.75" x 9.5" x 11.35". A stainless coil is far superior for cooling than the "cold plate" style jockey box.

Hey do yourself a favor. You are young and you are still flexible enough to change your thoughts. You will be sorry a decade from now when you will have a hard time changing negative thinking. It is useless, pointless to be miserable. Do not sabotage your future kid.
Once upon a time,there was a ugly duckling,who was soooooooooooooooo ugly,everybody died.
Please stop hurting yourself. you are so young. Talk to a counselor at school immediately or your parents.

We believe that the North End is a highly performing, vibrant and sustainable community.
In the winter of 2011, Greater Woodward CDC and the Storehouse of Hope were asked to host a meeting to inform community around the emerging M1 Light Rail Project. The meeting was held at the historic St. Matthew's and St. Joseph's Episcopal Church located in the North End, where residents, organizations, and churches were in attendance to raise concerned about the proposed Light Rail and the impact it would have on their community.
The North End Woodward Community Coalition (NEWCC) grew out of this initial community convening. NEWCC is a community based coalition composed of faith-based organizations, businesses and residents who have been intentionally unheard but deserve to be heard and included in the decisions that impact not only the transportation needs of thousands of low income and people of color riders of Detroit but in every development phase of the city.
Little did we know that our city was headed to become the largest municipality to file for bankruptcy in the history of our country. And the repercussions of that bankruptcy could not be ignored. Our community was faced with "death by a thousand cuts". We had to take on systems change work with a deep focus on regaining equity.
On May 9, 2012, NEWCC will file a formal complaint with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requesting that the FTA investigate the Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) for possible breaches of federal guidelines as they relate to the protection of minority, low income, and limited English Proficiency populations protected under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
Transportation Justices is about advocating for policies rooted in these principles:
1. Transportation systems must be affordable whether it is a bus or a light rail…it must be affordable for all.
2. Involve public participation, accountability, and transparency…the public voice needs to be represented in the planning and decision-making process.
3. Transportation systems must be accessible and connected…needs to take "transit dependent" people where they need to go in a way that is convenient, accessible and safe.
4. Transportation systems and policies should be fair…low-income riders and people of color must receive an equal benefit from public transit dollars as higher-income and white riders do.
5. Community benefits are largely tied to the level of community investment and advocacy. It is important that the community be financially invested in the project through public funds so that it has a greater basis for demanding fair treatment and accountability.
Our work is supported by primary by small family foundations and individual contribution:


text: [DE]Rebecca 182,006 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 And now.... for Part 4! Dev Workshops: now officially with more parts than The Hobbit! To continue from where we left off from Part 3, let's talk about enemy cheesiness. Shovel in the ground on enemies: short term & long term. In the short term there are enemies and enemy mechanics we are changing to reduce their cheesiness. These short term changes are coming in Hotfix 18.13.2 (should be tomorrow). Enemy Plasma Grenades: If you're like me and you have been playing a lot of Void Defense lately, it's more than likely you've had a mission failed due to one stray grenade from the enemy. These seemingly infinite-damage-scaling grenades of doom can be a death sentence, so here's what's coming: Before enemy Plasma Grenades explode, they will live for 3 seconds after coming to a rest on the ground. Plasma Grenades can now be shot in air or when they are on the ground. When an enemy Plasma Grenade is shot and killed, it will explode and damage any enemies in range with no damage to you. A Tenno with a keen ear will be able to identify these threats and counter them with an accurate shot before it's too late. Ballistas: Ballistas will have telegraphing when they are winding up to fire off a round from their deadly Vulkars. An observant Tenno will be better able to identify and prioritize these threats. Hyekka Masters: For now this is as simple as fixing the Hyekka Master's Ignis dealing damage through walls. Should you have anything else in mind, leave a comment below linking to your existing feedback thread, or simply discuss here. Long term: The bigger picture is the way enemy damage and EHP scales in the higher level content. We are discussing a few options at this time on the way scaling works, but ultimately we will preserve increased difficulty over time that demands a 'be careful and get out or get killed' set of stakes the longer you spend in a mission. The long term of this will demand a greater Dev Workshop as we make decisions on the topic - more to come here. Warframe Feedback: We've reviewed and made some changes to the following Warframe abilities. Everything is subject to change pending testing, but here are our current plans for Hotfix 18.13.2. Please note we also have a stack of fixes coming, but those are rooted in bug squashing and not principle design so aren't covered here. Trinity: Blessing: Damage Resistance is no longer calculated based on an Average, but instead a flat value simply capped at 75% (which can be achieved via use of Strength mods). We are working on making the squad UI show who is in range with the Tenno Affinity markers, it might not be ready for 18.13.2. Valkyr: Hysteria: Each kill reduces her Hysteria Aura by 1 meter, the aura will continue to grow but killing frequently will keep it tight around you so you can control its range. The Forma'ing We've received word from the Lotus that everyone will have 7 days following the launch of 18.13.2 to claim a free Forma via inbox simply by logging in. With the power of all your Draco runs, we have intercepted this message: You have fought long and hard for our cause - learning to master many Warframes and Weapons in your Arsenal. Take this gift of Forma as a token of my appreciation for your willingness to bend the will of your equipment to suit your needs on the battlefield. The Lotus. June 1 Update: Here comes another Update on Hotfix 18.13.2. Starting Mod Capacity Changes: When Hotfix 18.13.2 launches, the starting Mod Capacity for your gear (new or Forma'd) is now determined by your Mastery Rank and if an item has an Orokin Reactor or Catalyst installed. For example, a Mastery 20 player would experience the following: Claim a new Warframe from the Foundry with no Reactor installed. Observe the 'Unranked' item and see the starting the Mod capacity is 20. Install a Reactor, observe the Mod capacity has doubled to 40. This is determined by the following: Starting Mod Capacity = Mastery Rank (if Orokin Reactor/Catalyst installed: x2). The cap on capacity remains unchanged. Please note this is a slight deviation of our discussions on how Mastery Rank will reflect gear level, but by affecting capacity it fundamentally enables you to use Mods the moment you get your hands on new gear or Forma an item.

A school or educational establishment are institutions that are seen as respectable and important segments of society. As the ultimate stepping stone to success in any field, a proper education is considered a gift to society, and hence, schools are viewed with the same light. For those that run or supervise such an establishment, respect is granted tenfold, due to their service. However, they are also expected to provide the best possible service for the children and seen to do so with the best possible methods and resources available to them.
In order to achieve such a result and to run a high quality establishment, one of the necessary aspects is the best quality equipment for your school.
Furniture for the school
Modern-day classrooms call for practical and functional classroom furniture. Desks and chairs for classrooms should be beyond what is standard issue, and should instead cater sufficiently to both right-handed and left-handed students equally, as issues are usually seen with attached desk and chair pairs that cater as a majority to right-handed students. Furthermore, ergonomic and adjustable designs, or at the very least, a range of sizes of desks and chairs would ensure that each child in each grade would enjoy a comfortable learning experience sans unnecessary distraction.
White boards should also be used instead of blackboards, as chalkboard dust inhalation can affect some allergies. White boards are also easier to handle a keep clean.
Sports equipment
The sports programme of any school should be of the highest possible quality to ensure that students receive a well-rounded education, and are able to participate in any sport they desire with no restrictions. Sporting equipment should be maintained and upgraded to suit changing needs. Students should also be advised and guided to use these equipment carefully and according to instruction, so as to avoid both injury as well as damage to the equipment. Students must be made to understand the gravity of using common property carefully.
IT and laboratory equipment
Science and information technology are one two of the most progressive and necessary fields of study in the world today. Studying them adequately will provide students with a competitive advantage when they venture into the real world.
Equipment ranging from power supply computers to high-end laboratory microscopes should be provided for the use of the students.
Laboratory and IT facilities should also be made ready available to students who show an extra interest in the subjects and wish to undertake extra work time with these facilities.

Although reluctant, Harum finally agreed to the trade. The rest of the discussion was quite short, as I only needed to tell them how to get in touch with their "buyer". Faurch watched over the entire exchange with a subtle smile. He remained quiet throughout the rest of our discussion for some reason.
"Would you like me to escort you to the library?" Faurch says as we exit Harum's office.
Even at the end, Harum looked like he was about to have an aneurysm. He may irritate me, but I admit I was part of the problem. Maybe I should give them the slime gel as a gift to put us on good terms again… that is, if we were ever on "good" terms to begin with.
"Sure," I say focusing on the task at hand
While I still have this library at my disposal, I should do what I can to learn as much as possible.
"Oh, I just remembered. What was that thing you were talking about with Harum? Something about 'look at their hands and learn about them'?" I ask curiously
"Hmm? Have you become interested in learning the ways of the merchant?" Faurch teases looking slyly at me
…That might not be such a bad idea. It would make for a good cover if I became a traveling merchant. I could go anywhere and dig for info without looking suspicious. It would also be a good excuse for why my party is so strong. I could always just tell people "I hired the best people I could afford to protect my wares" or something like that.
"…Pwahahaha! You certainly are an interesting one aren't you" Faurch says bursting into laughter at my side
"…? What are you laughing at? I haven't said anything yet!" I rebut
"Usually when an adventurer is asked 'do you want a life bound by profit, and loss?' they are quick to respond 'of course not!' It simply isn't appealing for most to go from making one's wages playing hero, to doing so by analyzing supply and demand." Faurch says looking into the distance
After a moment, however, he looks at me and smiles.
"You, however, thought about it seriously! I've seen adventurers so in debt that they had to sell their only sword, and even then they wouldn't become merchants! I suppose they all want to make money in a more simplistic fashion." Faurch says happily
He continues to stare into the distance as if remembering a distant memory.
"Oh, yeah. I hadn't thought of that yet." I say
"Hm? What was that?" Faurch ask
"I hadn't thought of the money thing yet. I suppose that is another good reason for it isn't it?" I say continuing to ponder
Perhaps I really should start peddling. If nothing else, it would give me a good capital to fund my escape if I get discovered.
"Seriously? Pwahahaha!" Faurch begins to laugh furiously, so much so that he begins to tear up
Did I say something funny?
"Miss, I must thank you. I haven't laughed like that in ages. Please let me apologize for my rude behavior, for laughing at your actions. You remind me quite a bit of an old friend of mine." Faurch says wiping the tears and showing a great smile
"…If you're truly sorry, then answer my initial question. What was that thing you were talking to with Harum about people's hands and learning their past?" I say looking away from him
I don't want it to show on my face, but I'm not mad at him at all. I don't think anybody could see how happy he is right now and still be mad.
"Why of course." He says bowing to me
He reminds me a lot of Gero in many ways. I suppose least of which, is that I know nothing about him in the end, yet… I trust them both on some level instinctively.
"Ahem. The first rule of being a good merchant is to learn as much as you can about those who hold money. A good place to start is in the hands that hold the very money itself. Much can be learned about a person from their hands you see. A swordsman will have rough hands with many scars, a merchant will have hands calloused by years of writing contracts, and a noble who has not seen war will have pristine hands. Your hands are a reflection of your past and as such, are a great place to start when learning about a new trade partner." Faurch explains
"Hmm? So then what do my hands say about me?" I ask absent mindedly
"Quite a bit," Faurch says in a tone that sends a strong chill down my spine
What was that? Wait, did I just ask a dangerous question?! Does he know abou-
"We're here. Please enjoy the selection of books at our disposal. Please excuse the disorganization; we haven't had the time to organize after our resent large acquisition." Faurch says stopping before a door, and opening it for me with a smile
"…" I stare in silence for a moment as I ponder his previous statement
…He wouldn't be so nice if he knew, would he? The people of this world despise the Maou. Kera and Kiel are both weird even for the people of this world, and I doubt even they trust me completely.
As I become more and more confident of the fact that he must have been referring to something else, the chill begins to recede. I'm becoming paranoid, aren't I?
"I will try to manage. Shall I simply leave when I am done or do we have further business?" I ask staring into the room
It's a mess in there! Disorganized is a complete understatement! Apart from the books stacked randomly all over the room, it's obvious that by moving so much in here people knocked some books off the shelves onto the floor as well! What in the world did they have such a large need of books for? It doesn't even look like anybody has been in here to read any of them.
"Guhuhu… I suppose that's up to you" Faurch says as he walks away leaving me with the books
…Why do I feel like I was somehow tricked into cleaning this mess up? I'm not going to do that.
"Well… better get cracking I suppose." I say as I walk over and sit in the only chair in the room
At least… I think it's the only chair. It's the only chair I can see that isn't covered by books. I ponder over where to start and decide to just start with the first book I think will be relevant. I pick up several books from around me and look at their titles to choose…
I pause for a moment and then look at a few more book covers.
"…Oh no." I say as I place my head in my hands
It seems that in my hurry to gather information I forgot one major factor… I can't read this worlds language! Dang, it!
I can't go and get somebody who can read! It would simply look too suspicious. A "noble" comes and accepts a quest on behalf of a country, apparently speaks their language, and yet can't read? I'm already worried about these merchants being too bright for me to deal with. I can't go around adding even more suspicious factors to my cover story.
Disappointed at the waste of time I get up to leave. I trudge past the books and make my way to the door. However…
"Hm? Is there a problem miss?" A young girl in a maid outfit ask as I open the door
"Wha… um… no, no problem at all. Heh, heh, just um… wanted to know if this was all of them…" I stammer out as the young girl stares at me innocently
"Oh, yes it is! It is very impressive that you want even more books! I couldn't read all those in a lifetime!" The girl responds with a big smile
My heart hurts a little bit from lying to such an honest person… and my pride hurts a little when I realize from her statement that she can read. I thought that servants never learned to read?
"Is it common for servants to be able to read in this country?" I ask attempting to keep a noble air about me
"Hm? Oh! Oh, nononono no! I apologize for my rudeness! I didn't mean to brag!" The young girl says as she blushes and shakes her head furiously
"…Just answer my question" I say in return
"Oh… um, well the merchants taught me to read so that I can help with the shipment orders. Everybody in the manor is required to be able to handle business on their own before working here." She says after bowing
That's pretty efficient actually. It means that those with the ability to decide what and how much of something to trade can continue to do so, without being locked up on any one customer. With the servants going around handling the basic orders, those with the knowledge to trade efficiently can do so on many deals at the same time.
"Hmm… that's interesting" I say as I ponder further over the benefits
"Ah, thank you! Please enjoy your books!" She says as she bows again and holds open the door I just went through for me.
…Dang, I got distracted and forgot to escape.
"Well… um… thanks." I say attempting to find another excuse, failing completely
I walk into the room again and close the door behind me… I'm just going to have to wait in here long enough to pretend like I found what I was looking for aren't I?
I look around the room again, looking for something I can distract myself with while I wait.
"Hmm… that actually looks like a pretty good spot to take a nap." I say spotting a hidden alcove carved out of books.
It seems that when people were putting books in here this gap naturally formed. Since you can't even really see it without looking hard, I guess nobody thought to fill it with books.
What's the harm in catching up on my sleep a little? I hardly even felt like I got any sleep last night. Since I got so caught up in eating I didn't get to sleep until quite late into the night and even then, Learn squirms around while sleeping so it wasn't very good sleep.
I clear the stray books that lay in the area I found. I also found a strange large cushion buried nearby. It's quite easy to make the area semi-comfortable luckily.
"Oh better make it look like I fell asleep reading something in case someone comes to check on me," I say finding a book with a monster depiction on the front
I lay down and place the book on my chest. I can't help but smile at the fact that the situation is peaceful enough at the moment to allow me an afternoon nap. I drift off to sleep unnaturally quick with a smile still plastered on my face.

While we're on winter hiatus we'll be publishing podcasts of some of the most compelling and challenging sessions from our October NJ Spotlight On Cities conference, as well as a podcast diary of a colleague who is struggling with breast cancer.
It's that time of year where best-of lists are everywhere, and when it comes to books, you'll find Dale Russakoff's "The Prize: Who's in Charge of America's Schools" on a good number of them. Russakoff, a former Washington Post reporter, chronicles what happened to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million gift to Newark schools and the school-reform efforts it helped spur in Newark.
At NJ Spotlight On Cities, Russakoff moderated a conversation with three of the teachers featured in her book: Joanna Belcher, chief academic officer for KIPP-New Jersey; Princess Fils-Aimes, a kindergarten teacher and grade-level chair at SPARK Academy; and Dominique Lee, founder and chief executive officer of BRICK.
[img-narrow:/assets/15/1220/1945]Education was a big theme at this year's inaugural NJ Spotlight On Cities and will remain so as we gear up for our second conference, to be held in the fall. As we plan, we want to hear from you: What would you like to see us include in 2016? Is there a speaker that we absolutely should know about? An innovative program that deserves a chance to show off? Tell us about it by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

There's been a lot of hype over the past year about low-cost 3D printers. All of the rapid prototyping (additive manufacturing) companies have either introduced low-priced systems to the market or lowered the price of existing systems and promote how they are making the technology more accessible to designers, engineers and even the hobbyist. Editors, industry analysts and even the New York Times have jumped on this trend which seems to be the focus of nearly every article and report.
But what is a low-cost 3D printer? When people talk about low cost, they seem to refer only to the purchase price of the 3D printer. Sometimes machines that are billed as low cost are actually much more expensive than most other machines when all variable costs are factored into the equation. We've had customers tell us that they purchased another system because of the low initial purchase price of the printer itself, only to quickly discover that they couldn't afford to keep the system operating. It became an expensive paper weight.
So, how can you cut through the hype and determine the real cost of a 3D printer? Here are six easy steps.
First, let me provide a disclaimer that I'm only referencing industrial- or professional-quality 3D printers. Industry experts seem to universally agree that open source systems that have been receiving quite a bit of publicity recently are not suitable for professional use from a quality, accuracy, throughput or speed standpoint.
1. Yes, affordability starts with a low-priced machine. But look beyond the price of the machine itself. Check to see if the system requires expensive lasers, complex thermal controls or special facility requirements. All of these items can add thousands of dollars onto the price of a machine.
2. How expensive is the build material? Find out how much build material is included in the purchase price of the system. Be sure to base this cost on volume rather than weight (i.e.; how many prototypes will that amount produce?). Then learn the on-going replacement cost of the material.
3. What about waste? Is all of the unused build material from a build completely recycled for future builds and therefore unwasted? If not, make sure you factor the cost of the wasted material into your cost calculator. And, does the system require you to build supports? Some systems require you to build supports, others don't. Building supports requires expensive build material that can really add up over time, so be sure you factor this ongoing cost into your estimate.
4. What about the cost of post-processing? All prototyping systems require some sort of post-processing. Check to see if you must purchase additional equipment, chemicals, ventilation and special hazardous waste handling and disposal in order to post-process parts. Compare those systems with systems that provide you with the low-cost option to cure parts with tap water and Epsom salt.
5. Assess maintenance costs. Some systems use standard, off-the-shelf inkjet printing technology and a modular design in order to make component replacement quick, easy and cost efficient.
6. Considering all of these variable costs, estimate the total expense per finished model.
Total cost for Z Corp.'s finished ZPrinted models runs about $2 - $3 USD per cubic in ($0.12-$0.18 USD per cubic cm). A 4.0 cubic in (66 cubic cm) model like the one below costs less than $20 USD to produce.

Henry again sat down to his despatches, and employed himself upon them
to a late hour. At length, feeling heated and oppressed, he arose, and
opened a window. As he did so, he was almost blinded by a vivid flash
of forked lightning. Ever ready to court danger, and convinced, from
the intense gloom without, that a fearful storm was coming on, Henry
resolved to go forth to witness it. With this view he quitted the
closet, and passed through a small door opening on the northern terrace.
The castle clock tolled the hour of midnight as he issued forth, and the
darkness was so profound that he could scarcely see a foot before him.
But he went on.
"Who goes there?" cried a voice, as he advanced, and a partisan was
placed at his breast.
"The king!" replied Henry, in tones that would have left no doubt of
the truth of the assertion, even if a gleam of lightning had not at the
moment revealed his figure and countenance to the sentinel.
"I did not look for your majesty at such a time," replied the man,
lowering his pike. "Has your majesty no apprehension of the storm? I
have watched it gathering in the valley, and it will be a dreadful one.
If I might make bold to counsel you, I would advise you to seek instant
shelter in the castle."
"I have no fear, good fellow," laughed the king. "Get thee in yon porch,
and leave the terrace to me. I will warn thee when I leave it."
As he spoke a tremendous peal of thunder broke overhead, and seemed to
shake the strong pile to its foundations. Again the lightning rent
the black canopy of heaven in various places, and shot down in forked
flashes of the most dazzling brightness. A rack of clouds, heavily
charged with electric fluid, hung right over the castle, and poured down
all their fires upon it.
Henry paced slowly to and fro, utterly indifferent to the peril he
ran--now watching the lightning as it shivered some oak in the home
park, or lighted up the wide expanse of country around him--now
listening to the roar of heaven's artillery; and he had just quitted the
western extremity of the terrace, when the most terrific crash he had
yet heard burst over him. The next instant a dozen forked flashes shot
from the sky, while fiery coruscations blazed athwart it; and at the
same moment a bolt struck the Wykeham Tower, beside which he had been
recently standing. Startled by the appalling sound, he turned and beheld
upon the battlemented parapet on his left a tall ghostly figure, whose
antlered helm told him it was Herne the Hunter. Dilated against the
flaming sky, the proportions of the demon seemed gigantic. His right
hand was stretched forth towards the king, and in his left he held a
rusty chain. Henry grasped the handle of his sword, and partly drew it,
keeping his gaze fixed upon the figure.
"You thought you had got rid of me, Harry of England," cried Herne, "but
were you to lay the weight of this vast fabric upon me, I would break
from under it--ho! ho!"
"What wouldst thou, infernal spirit?" cried Henry.
"I am come to keep company with you, Harry," replied the demon; "this is
a night when only you and I should be abroad. We know how to enjoy
it. We like the music of the loud thunder, and the dance of the blithe
"Avaunt, fiend!" cried Henry. "I will hold no converse with thee. Back
to thy native hell!"
"You have no power over me, Harry," rejoined the demon, his words
mingling with the rolling of the thunder, "for your thoughts are evil,
and you are about to do an accursed deed. You cannot dismiss me. Before
the commission of every great crime--and many great crimes you will
commit--I will always appear to you. And my last appearance shall he
three days before your end--ha! ha!"
"Darest thou say this to me!" cried Henry furiously.
"I laugh at thy menaces," rejoined Herne, amid another peal of
thunder--"but I have not yet done. Harry of England! your career shall
be stained in blood. Your wrath shall descend upon the heads of those
who love you, and your love shall be fatal. Better Anne Boleyn fled
this castle, and sought shelter in the lowliest hovel in the land, than
become your spouse. For you will slay her--and not her alone. Another
shall fall by your hand; and so, if you had your own will, would all!"
"What meanest thou by all?" demanded the king.
"You will learn in due season," laughed the fiend. "But now mark me,
Harry of England, thou fierce and bloody kin--thou shalt be drunken with
the blood of thy wives; and thy end shall be a fearful one. Thou shalt
linger out a living death--a mass of breathing corruption shalt thou
become--and when dead the very hounds with which thou huntedst me shall
lick thy blood!"
These awful words, involving a fearful prophecy, which was afterwards,
as will be shown, strangely fulfilled, were so mixed up with the rolling
of the thunder that Henry could scarcely distinguish one sound from the
other. At the close of the latter speech a flash of lightning of such
dazzling brilliancy shot down past him, that he remained for some
moments almost blinded; and when he recovered his powers of vision the
demon had vanished.

Thats pretty terrible if true. I have my hopes that public outcry will be loud enough if needed if there really is no way to unlock specific skins, kind of like how DOA6 got patched a week after release. Im all for micro transactions if it helps the developer/publisher hit their targets to get funding for their next project, as long as its done in a non-intrusive way like how DMCV and MKX did, though it seems like MK11 is going to be a different story. The skeptic in me is praying that the news are from the overly-anti microtransactions community that overreacts to any form of microtransations in games, even for ones as minor as MKX easy fatalities. Theres been more than one occasion where I see them complain about how impossible it is to unlock the specific things you want in games via RNG (Hearthstone, MTG Arena, Overwatch), despite it not being that difficult in reality. For all we know the drop rates might be very generous (like blood orbs from DMCV), allowing for generally quick unlocking via those character specific towers.All is random, so no, you can't spend in-game currency for the skins you want. You'll spend for a chance to drop the specific gear you want. No more ''ok, Cassie's alt oufit is in that box, gonna grind 20k coins and I'll buy it.'' You can literally play hundreds of hours without unlocking the specific gear you want. Plus, seems Towers of Time are hella difficult. Borderline impossible, and that gives you more coins. Maybe they'll patch the difficulty, maybe not. Or you can spend real money, don't know if you can buy the specific gear or more coins.
It's clear all they want is your money, that's why they never talked about the Krypt before.
It's Injustice 2 2.0. Welcome to the new Era of Mortal Kombat guys, have fun.
