Britain has arrested a terrorist suspect identified as Osama bin Laden's "ambassador" in Europe. British media say the suspect, Muslim cleric Abu Qatada, is being held in a high security prison.
British authorities say police and internal security agents carried out a raid Wednesday in south London and detained a suspect under an anti-terrorism law.
Police are not identifying the man, but British media said Friday he is Abu Qatada, thought to be a prominent figure in the al-Qaida terrorist network founded by Osama bin Laden.
The United Nations has put Abu Qatada on its terrorist list, and he is wanted in France, Spain, Algeria and Jordan.
Abu Qatada has in the past denied involvement in terrorism. He went into hiding 10 months ago, just before Britain's tough new anti-terrorism law went into effect. The law allows authorities to hold foreigners indefinitely.

Join our safe and effective fitness training for pregnant women and new moms.
Prenatal Fitness Exercise
When you finally hold your baby in your arms, you'll meet one of the loves of your life. Until then, stave off the pregnancy blahs and queasiness and get moving! Regular physical activity while pregnant offers incredible benefits for both you and your baby. Check with your doctor to make sure you're capable of physical activity and then ask about our prenatal exercise classes.
Pregnancy zaps your energy as your body rapidly changes, but exercising strengthens your cardiovascular system so you don't tire as easily. It also improves your core strength, muscle tone and overall mobility. Enjoy better sleep and reduce your pregnancy discomfort with our prenatal fitness Roswell GA classes that better prepare your body for childbirth.

The ability to perceive the world in three dimensions and to see clearly at near and far ranges is coordinated by key eye motor functions, including a mechanism called convergence and accommodation that allows us to see objects at different spatial depths by controlling two sets of muscles to reduce double and blurry vision.
For a small but significant fraction of the population, however, the left and right eyes do not work as a team. The result, known as convergence insufficiency (CI), leads to visual stress and strain and headaches. The impacts on cognition and learning can be severe, particularly for children.
"Near reading is particularly uncomfortable for people with CI, who experience visual stress and fatigue after 15 to 20 minutes of reading," notes Tara Alvarez, a professor of biomedical engineering and the director of NJIT's Vision and Neural Engineering Laboratory. "This is really a problem for students. In terms of cognitive load, if someone is expending significantly more energy acquiring visual information, then less energy is available for cognitive function. This puts students with CI at a competitive disadvantage compared to their peers, especially for timed tests."
Alvarez and other experts in the field estimate that between 12 and 24 million people in the United States, or 4 to 8 percent of the population, have this vision dysfunction. Among people with traumatic brain injuries, the percentage may be as high as 40 percent; children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are three times as likely to experience it. And while the problem was identified more than a half-century ago, "we still don't know why CI happens. We don't know why one person develops it and another doesn't," Alvarez says.
Armed with a five-year research grant from the National Institutes of Health, Alvarez is poised to begin untangling some of the mysteries behind CI. In a study that is the first of its kind in terms of size and scope, she and her research team will quantify eye movements and functional imaging to understand how an established form of vision therapy leads to a sustained reduction in symptoms related to CI. They are hopeful that the study will lead to new therapeutic interventions and ultimately improve activities of daily living, such as allowing people to read more comfortably for longer periods of time.
In the study, which will enroll more than 100 adults between the ages of 18 and 35, Alvarez and her team will measure changes in eye movement speed with instrumentation she has developed over the past several years with funding from the National Science Foundation. They will also use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map the brain's response to visual stimuli before and after therapy.
"My lab is trying to explain the neuroplasticity, or adaptations, that occur in the brain with therapy to alleviate the symptoms," she says. "Once we understand how neuroplasticity is occurring then our team can systematically develop new therapeutic interventions to further improve vision function, especially in brain-injury populations such as people who have suffered injury from an automobile accident or a blast injury during battle."
She is working in collaboration with Mitchell Scheiman of Salus University (Philadelphia College of Optometry) and Bharat Biswal, chairman of NJIT's Department of Biomedical Engineering.
Scheiman, the primary clinical lead of the study, conducted an earlier randomized clinical trial showing that 73 percent of children with CI experience a significant decrease in visual symptoms and improvement in function when they undergo office-based vision therapy.
However, the underlying neurological mechanism by which the therapy works is still unknown. For his part, Biswal has developed novel brain connectivity algorithms to understand not only which regions of the brain are activated for a given task, but also how the regions communicate with each other.
"The application of his algorithm will lead our team to a much better understanding of how the brain functions before therapy compared to after," Alvarez says.
"You can correct this problem," she adds. "Clinicians would like to see scientific evidence of what is changing in the brain through vision therapy. My research aims to quantify the underlying mechanisms of how vision therapy leads to a sustainable reduction in vision symptoms, including our preliminary published data (from an earlier study) that supports evidence of improved neural synchronization. Such knowledge may lead to new therapies with even better efficacy rates."
Several years ago, she led a much smaller pilot study of the impacts of CI therapy with just a handful of patients. The results were promising. With the current funding from NIH, she and her team have the resources to determine whether the pilot results generalize to a much larger population.
The clear links between vision and cognition lend urgency to the endeavor.
"So much of the brain's cortical real estate is allocated to vision," Alvarez notes, adding, "Humans and other primates are among the few species to possess vergence - the ability to see in depth."
As a researcher, Alvarez says she is "fascinated by how plastic and changeable the oculomotor system is, and I always wanted my work to have a clinical impact."
Going forward, she plans to delve more deeply into traumatic brain injury (TBI) and would like to broaden her scope to include both pediatrics and TBI.
"Ultimately we hope our research will lead to the engineering of new therapies for these populations," she says. "Many studies show that 25 to 40 percent of civilian and up to 50 percent of military traumatic brain injury patients have CI. Hence, research is really needed within these populations."

"The efficiency of the building and curriculum. It looks just like my High School, and makes you feel less intimidated. Also, the fact that we can rotate at a bunch of places was really cool. Finally, the students' meeting with us was really awesome. The students were so enthusiastic, so relaxed, and quite knowledgable, that I was extremely impressed and knew that LECOM-Bradenton was doing something right. Most students at other med schools complain or look really tired or look like they don't have any friends; this school was very different, and the PBL seems to be the reason why. The PBL makes you have a social life at school, during class, and out of class at night. The Library was very spacious and has a nice view of the lake right in front of the school, appropriately named lake erie! " Report Response
"Nothing at all. This school was Awesome!" Report Response
"That the number of acceptances sent out had already exceeded the number of seats in the class, so basically we all had to wait like 3 weeks to hear back. I, fortunately, am ACCEPTED!!!" Report Response
"LECOM-Bradenton was really awesome! The interview was really fun and we all got along quite well as a group. I got everyone's emails and am keeping in touch with everyone, and I suggest that y'all do the same thing. The teachers at LECOM are really awesome. I learned that they use Prosections and pre-prepared slides so that you don't waste time in Anatomy lab. This is very efficient. I was considering either going to LECOM-Bradenton or Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California, but LECOM-Bradenton is way better! LECOM-Bradenton's PBL curriculum has already proven itself in Erie, and will soon prove itself again in Florida. Western's best professor has even left Western to join LECOM-Bradenton. Think about it. Do you like to learn in lecture from 8-5 every day or would you rather meet in PBL groups 2 hours a day, 3 times a week, and then only 2 times a week your second year? Also, I have heard that the girls at LECOM-Bradenton are very hot! Can't wait for OMM Lab...HOLLA!" Report Response

SYDNEY, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Researchers in Australia are developing a solar roof system that uses wasted energy to warm air and water.
What distinguishes the project from other systems, the researchers say, is that the solar cells are integrated into the structural makeup of a building. So instead of being attached to a roof, the system actually becomes the roof, The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
The system evolved from a "low carbon living" project to investigate future energy efficiency initiatives while evaluating the effectiveness of current methods of generating solar power, said the researchers from the University of New South Wales.
"Australia has this perception that we are blessed with limitless energy but by the time we have filtered it through the system and into buildings in the form of electricity, there is enormous waste. So we are gathering the data to make informed decisions about that,'' associate professor Alistair Sproul told the Herald.
If solar panels are extra-durable, the researchers say, they can serve as roofing material.
While solar cells on top of panels typically generate a significant amount of waste heat as a by-product, the researchers devised a way to harness it instead with an insulated space behind the panel, heating the air to 25 degrees Celsius.
''We want to take the building performance to the next level,'' said research leader Professor Deo Prasad.
'In the past we have had separate experts working on solar panels, on energy efficiency, water efficiency but what we are looking at now is total integration from the start.''
The researchers are investigating the possibility of manufacturing the system in Australia and said a number of firms are monitoring their research with that in mind.
''A lot of lower-tech forms of photovoltaics seem to be finding their way into countries where there are cheaper labor costs, so we want to concentrate on developing these high-tech, high-end forms,'' Prasad said.
Australia relies on coal to generate 80 percent of its electricity.
Last year, roof-mounted solar panels in Australia for the first time competed favorably against peak-priced electricity from coal-fired power stations, Asian Scientist magazine reports. Solar photovoltaic panels cost around $1.07, compared to $3.75 per watt a few years ago.
Separately, the future of southwest Queensland's proposed Solar Dawn $1.2 billion solar thermal plant appeared uncertain after it failed to meet a Dec. 15 deadline to compete financing but last week the government granted a six-month extension to its contract.

The Latest: Trump says Florida will get $448M for hurricane
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump's trip to the Florida Panhandle (all times local):
8:20 p.m.
President Donald Trump is telling supporters that Florida will get $448 million in disaster recovery funds to help it recover from Hurricane Michael last year.
At a rally Wednesday in the Florida Panhandle, Trump called for Democrats in Congress to work with the administration on other relief funding.
He says the newest funds will come through the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Trump's opposition to more hurricane aid for Puerto Rico has sparked a standoff with congressional Democrats that is blocking assistance to the island and elsewhere, including the Florida Panhandle.
Trump says, "You're getting your money one way or another, and we're not going to let anybody hold it up."
4:35 p.m.
President Donald Trump is set to view recovery efforts in the Florida Panhandle following last year's Hurricane Michael, as well as lingering damage from the devastating Category 5 storm.
Trump on Wednesday was headed to Tyndall Air Force Base, which itself was severely affected by the hurricane, ahead of a reelection rally in nearby Panama City Beach.
The area has received about $1.1 billion in federal disaster aid through mid-April, but disagreements in Washington have left many still struggling to recover from the storm.
The campaign rally comes as Trump and congressional Democrats are locked in a bitter fight over constitutional powers related to special counsel Robert Mueller's report and probes into the president's tax returns.

The Duck Dynasty family has created an empire with its duck call and decoy company and a top-rated reality show, and now the Robertsons are trying to take on the music world as well with the release of a new album.
The Robertson family, featured in the A&E reality show, announced that they will release a Christmas album this upcoming holiday season. The album, Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas, will be released through Universal Music Group Nashville.
Duck Dynasty showcases the many talents of the Louisiana-based Robertson family, who run the multi-million dollar company Duck Commander. Aside from his business acumen, patriarch Phil Robertson was once a gifted athlete at Louisiana Tech, but opted to leave the sport to focus on hunting and fishing.
Robertson said he had a good chance at making the NFL, a path taken by his former teammate Terry Bradshaw. Robertson said he didn't regret the decision, which allowed him to make duck hunting season.
"They said, 'Why don't you go in the NFL and play football?' In the '60s, the late '60s, the going price was $60,000. You make the team? 60 grand. I thought, 'And I miss duck season? And I have large, violent… men chasing me trying to stomp me in the dirt?' It just seemed like a lot of stress and not a lot of money."
Apparently the rest of the Duck Dynasty family is just as talented. The family members grew up singing in church and are looking forward to showing off their musical skills on the new album.
"Faith, family and ducks — in that order — have always been our priorities," said reality star Willie Robertson, the CEO of Duck Commander. He added: "Christmas is an important holiday for us not only because of our strong faith but also our holiday family traditions. We're having a great time making this album. We hope you enjoy it."
The Duck Dynasty family Christmas album will be released October 29.

She didn't need to worry about me not eating it, though, I used to love it – always starting the day the same way with a glass of orange juice and a bowl of cereal (none of those cool ones you saw advertised on the TV, mind, just good old cornflakes or 'Weetabix', as they were known back in Yorkshire). That's now come full circle in my new family life and the boys are just the same, though they won't even stretch as far as cornflakes! Jay (hooligan number two) can eat up to six Weet-Bix at a go and even said to Sharlee one morning in the kitchen, 'Mumma, when I was a baby in your tummy and you were feeding me, did you give me Weet-Bix for breakfast?' Personally, I love a good bacon and eg roll with brown sauce and have this often at Pope Joan when I get into work. It reminds me of Saturdays as a kid when Mum would give us one each with a bowl of Heinz tomato soup to dip it into as a treat. Being able to connect the past with the present through food memories like this is something that I love, and I'm conscious that Sharlee and I are creating similar experiences for our two boys for them to look back at with big smiles, or disgust, or love … or all three. Here we've included the recipes that make up our everyday breakfast staples, whether that be freshly squeezed juices or smoothies, simple pancakes or a warming bowl (or two) of porridge. There's nothing fancy here – owning a café where breakfast accounts for 40 per cent of the menu means we are o en trying lots of exciting new options when out and about – but rather a selection of what we come back to time and time again. It's what we cook at home. Recipes in this Chapter More recipes Smoothie Nonna Leah's tomato smash Green eggs Porridge Pancakes – thin or fat Natural muesli Pot-set yoghurt Fresh juice

But we know that the mission table feature will return in some way, thanks to a Hazzikostas interview with Twitch streamer and professional World of Warcraft tank, Sloot. In the interview, Hazzikostas confirmed that mission tables are present in Shadowlands, and that Blizzard wants it to be something you can do on your phone, rather than a front and center feature. Hazzikostas also stated that the team is looking to evolve the gameplay and offer more for players.
The origins of the Shadowlands remain uncertain, but they have existed ever since mortal life first arose in the physical universe. They span all worlds,[citation needed] including Azeroth, on which Icecrown serves as an anchor to the Shadowlands.[4] There are those who believe mortal souls are drawn into this dark place when they die, remaining there forever. Others hope their souls will go on to a brighter place rather than languish for eternity within the cold confines of the Shadowlands.[2]

You guys, my baby is three weeks old as of yesterday. That means that literally almost a full month has come and gone since we first laid eyes on our sweet little girl. This morning I dressed her in the same outfit that we brought her home in from the hospital, and my mind was blown at how much more snuggly the outfit fit her than it did such a short time ago. The craziest thing about all of this is that it doesn't even feel like it's been three weeks; my days and nights have all blended together into one ongoing event as of late making it feel like we brought her home maybe three days ago.
With how quickly time seems to be slipping through my fingers, I'm SO incredibly grateful that we were able to get these pictures done by Heidi to capture Emery's sweet little newborn essence. These pictures were taken when she was only four days old, and she's already changed so much since then! I've talked a couple of times before about just how much I value capturing these irreplaceable moments in photography, and am so glad that amongst the crazy, sleepless chaos of moving and having a baby that we took the time to slow down one morning and get these images. I couldn't have imagined them any more perfectly and know I will cherish them for the rest of my life!
my dress & emery's outfit: old navy | sandals: j.crew | hair bows: salt cities (white), sweet little soul (purple plaid), sawyer and sloane (floral)
Another huge thanks to my amazing photographer Heidi for capturing these precious images for me! Having a baby has been such a whirlwind of an experience that we are still working to get the hang of but we are loving it so far! For me personally, it has really taught me to slow down and enjoy the little moments in life, because at the end of the day it's those small, seemingly insignificant moments that really do matter most!
Lots of Love! {Kyle & Chelsea Pett}

Pass Or Play: Beyonce & Andre 3000 Release "Back To Black" Preview
The internets are buzzing this morning. Earlier this month we told you that Jay-Z would be producing the soundtrack for the new "Great Gatsby" film. So it was no surprise that his wife, Beyonce, would be featured on the project. She's working with Andre 3000 on a remake of the late Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black." If you're an Amy fan you know this is one of her more well known songs. It's dark. It's soulful. Expectations were high.
When a snippet of the song was released, folks let their frustration be known. They called the remake terrible, asked WTF both Beyonce and Andre were thinking, etc. Personally, I wasn't that upset over it. It didn't move me but it certainly wasn't the worst thing I've ever heard either. I pretty much shrugged after I heard it. So take a listen and tell us what you think of this collaboration.
So what gives, are people missing the genius because they're comparing it to the original or is this snippet really that bad?

Ron Paul: Democratic Party, Republican Party Are Both 'Dinosaurs'
Outgoing Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) gave an exit interview to the Washington Post this week, capping off his career with a claim that he's driven throughout his 36 years in Congress: The two-party system is obsolete.
Responding to a question about a recent warning from his son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), that the GOP was at risk of becoming a "dinosaur" if it remained unwilling to consider libertarian-inspired positions, the congressman argued that both parties were in fact on the brink of extinction.
"The whole government, and the Democrat party, the Republican party — they're all dinosaurs," Paul said. "The principles are dinosaurs. The parties are going to linger because they're locked in by law. You're not allowed to compete; the laws are biased against us from competing. If you go third party you can't get in debates, you can't get on ballots."
Paul went on to explain that he hadn't put any thought into a third-party campaign in 2012 because it was "absolutely not practical" to run outside of the two established parties.
The libertarian-leaning Republican has long fought the two-party system. In October, Paul declared that then-GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney wouldn't be getting his endorsement, because the former Massachusetts governor represented a status quo perpetuated equally by both the Democratic party and the GOP.
"They represent a one-party system," Paul said of similarities between President Barack Obama and Romney in an interview with CNBC. "Somebody said 'why don't we get a third party?' and another one said, I think correctly so, 'Why don't we get a second party?'"

Running Fate Accelerated on Roll20
From Roll20 Wiki
Tips for creating and running Fate Accelerated games on Roll20
To find out something about my Role Playing Experience and get some generic DM Tips, please take a look at Mick Hand's GM Tips
Although this seems like a large set of recommendations,
You don't have to spend hours on end preparing each game session.
Realistically, you should probably expect to spend an hour or two preparing your first one and then less than an 1 hour technical prep for a 4-hr game session. You should do a bit of practice with the Maps, Dice rolling and Tokens before you start playing the game for real. It should be a lot less technical effort to set up and run games using Fate Accelerated than for crunchier games.
Creating the Campaign
From the "Start New Game" option…
Enter the name for your Campaign Choose the Character Sheet called "Fate Accelerated Edition" Click "I'm Ready, Create Game"
As soon as you have clicked "I'm Ready, Create Game", you will Join the Game as the GM. You are taken to an empty page. Before you do anything else, it is worth exiting the game and then going to the "Game Settings" page to set up a couple of default settings.
Click the Cog Icon on the far right to get to the "My Settings" section Click the "Exit Game" button at the top of the "My Settings" section.
This takes you to the "Thank you for playing…." Screen. There's no need to fill anything in there yet, so just hover over "Games" to see a list of your recent games and click on the image for the one you just created (in my case this was "Demo Fate Accelerated")
From the main Game page, choose the "Settings" option and then choose "Game Settings"…
The Game Settings page doesn't have much on it for a FATE game, but here are my recommendations for a Fate Accelerated game.
This page works a bit strangely, so my advice is to Expand the "Game Default Settings" by clicking on it and this opens up a lot more defaults…
Some people like to set the "Page DefaultsBackground" to some pale colour other than white, as bright white screens are meant to be bad for our eyes. In the Player Permissions… Name = Tick the "See" option Bar 1 = Tick the "See" option CLICK "Save Defaults"
After it saves the "Game Default Settings" it will close that section.
Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the screen.
Now you are ready to "Join the Game" again. This time, head to the Cog Icon and set a few things in the "My Settings" section. These settings will be remembered next time you Join the Game so you shouldn't have to change them again.
I very much recommend ticking the "Use advanced keyboard shortcuts".
I recommend not ticking the "Use window popouts for characters". This is purely because of Macros that ask you to choose or fill-in something. If you use Window Popouts, then the focus isn't on the main Roll20 Window and the dialog will appear behind the character sheet and won't automatically have focus so you can just hit return.
I recommend not ticking the Enable Advanced Dice.
I recommend not ticking the Enable 3D Dice. There don't seem to be any animated Fudge Dice.
I recommend not ticking the Automatically roll 3D Dice.
The Basics of Roll20 for Fate Accelerated
There is no Compendium of monsters already set up for Fate Accelerated (as there is for D&D5E and Pathfinder).
There is little use for the Grid as combat and movement are much more narrative than for games like D&D.
My recommendations are…
Set up some Journal Entries with default Tokens to use as Aspects, Boosts, Conditions Using Status Markers with numbers to indicate how many free-invokes are available on Boosts Use green blob for free invokes available to Players Use red blob for free invokes available to the GM characters Use background images to set the scene Use Handouts to show images to Players (or Shift-Z to show an image of a Token) Use the Turn Order to track Player and GM Fate Points Also use the Turn Order to track who goes next Set up some macros… for Players to get them to use the 4 Action Types (Overcome, Create Advantage, Attack, Defend) for Players to spend a Fate Point for a +2 Bonus for Players to spend a Fate Point for a Re-roll for Players to indicate they are taking a Boost or Free Invoke for the GM to use the 4 Action Types for non-player characters for the GM to give a player character a Fate Point for the GM to indicate the use of Scale as either +1 to a Roll or +2 to an effect (Scale is a feature from Dresden Files Accelerated)
The Game Elements in the Journal
I've created a set of "Characters" in the Journal representing useful Game Elements. Each is associated with a Token so I can drag them out into the Page and change their Names. I keep them in a Sub-Folder called Game Elements
When you drag a Boost or an Advantage onto the table and rename it, you might also want to select the Token and use the icons to indicate if the temporary aspect has free invokes for the Players of for the GM characters. You can choose the green blob and type 1 or 2 for the number of free invokes available to the Players. You can choose the red blob and type 1 or 2 for the number of free invokes available to the GM-controlled characters.
In the picture below, the NPC "Succeeded with Style" when trapping the PC under a bookcase and so has 2 free invokes. The PC only managed to get one free invoke when setting off a flash grenade.
The MACROS
The Macros I'm suggesting should make your FATE games run more smoothly.
It may seem odd to use the Turn Order as a way to track Fate Points, but without the API capabilities, the Turn Order is just about the only thing that a macro can make changes to. So we can write macros to add or subtract from the Turn Order, making it easy to keep track of Fate Points. It also keeps the current Fate Point scores in plain view.
The four Macros whose names start with "Action-" help to focus the players' minds into the four types of Action. Particularly with new Fate players, it helps them to understand how to phrase their intentions to avoid the uncertain or ambiguous narrative action conversations such as...
Player "I want to shoot him in the leg"
GM "Are you intending to do him damage?"
Player "Yes, and it will slow him down and distract him with the pain as well and might force him to surrender"
GM "You'll have to pick whether it's an ATTACK to do damage or it's a CREATE-ADVANTAGE to give him an aspect of limping or an OVERCOME to terrify him into surrendering"
Once the Player has selected which type of Action they are doing, they get to type a brief narrative tag for it and then choose which of their Approaches they want to use.
The result of the actual Dice Roll is shown in the chat window along with Approach and the bonus from the Approach. It's easier to see what the actual Roll is, to help the player decide whether it would be better to spend a Fate Point to re-roll or add +2.
The following Macros should be flagged as "Token Action" and made visible to ALL PLAYERS…
The 4 Action macros ask you to type a brief intention...
...then asks you to choose an Approach...
Then shows the result in the chat window (output shown beneath each Macro defintion).
&{template:default} {{name=ATTACK}} {{character=@{selected|token_name}}} {{Intention=?{Intention|Attack...}}} {{Roll=[[1dF]] [[1dF]] [[1dF]] [[1dF]]}}{{Approach=?{Approach|Flashy,FLASHY + @{selected|flashy}|Careful,CAREFUL + @{selected|careful}|Forceful,FORCEFUL + @{selected|forceful}|Sneaky,SNEAKY + @{selected|sneaky}|Quick,QUICK + @{selected|quick}|Clever,CLEVER + @{selected|clever}}}}

The Player Macros appear at the top of the screen when they have selected their Token…
The following Macros should be flagged as "In Bar" and are only visible to the GM.
I usually right-click on the buttons in the GM's Bar (at the bottom of the main page) and then make them bright red.

&{template:default} {{name=FATE POINT TAKEN}}{{character=@{selected|token_name}}}{{Because=?{Because...}}} {{Fate=Point Taken [[1d1 &{tracker:-}]]
Because NPCs don't usually have full character sheets with Approaches, this one asks what Action Type, then asks for an Intention and then asks what Bonus to show.
&{template:default} {{name=NPC ACTION}} {{character=@{selected|token_name}}} {{NPC Action=?{NPC Action|ATTACK|DEFEND|CREATE ADVANTAGE|OVERCOME}}} {{Intention=?{Intention}}} {{Roll=[[1dF]] [[1dF]] [[1dF]] [[1dF]]}}}} {{Approach Bonus=?{Approach|+4,+4|+3,+3|+2,+2|+1,+1|0,0|-1,-1|-2,-2}}}

&{template:default} {{name=SCALE Bonus +1 to roll}}{{character=@{selected|token_name}}}{{Because=?{Because...}}}
The GM Macros appear at the bottom of the screen…
Initiative for Fate Accelerated
Because I propose using the Turn Order to keep track of Fate Points, it should always be open.
Put all the Player Characters into the Tracker at the start of the game and leave it open.
Add in tokens for the Monsters (or just a single token for the GM if you want to have all the GM creatures go at the same time).
Set the GM's Score in the Turn Order to the number of Player Characters involved in the scene.
Click the Cog and "Add Custom Item" and add an "End-Of-Turn" marker.
|I'm using a small variation on the FAE rules for initiative, where the order of turns is determined by choice - it's from Dresden files Accelerated (and from Fate Core)
The GM decides who should go first (taking into account the situation and the Quick score of the Player Characters and the monsters). Almost always have one of the Players going first (unless they have been ambushed!)
In the example above, Lestrade is going first (the poor chap is out of Fate Points).
When a Player Character has finished their go, drag the Player to below the End-Of-Turn marker.
The person who finishes their go, chooses who goes next from the ones still above the End-Of-Turn marker.
Beware leaving the GM to go last as the person who goes last decides who goes first in the next Turn, so can give themselves two consecutive goes if they want to.
After Lestrade has had his go, he is dragged down to after the End-Of-Turn..
At the end of each Turn, drag the End-Of-Turn marker to the bottom of the Turn Order.
Setting up a character for a Player Character
Player Characters are created in the Journal by clicking the "+Add" button and then selecting "Character".
This opens a Creature dialog box with a random name.
I usually type the name of the Player in there unless I already know the name of their character.
Set the "In Player's Journals" to "All Players"
If your players have already joined the game, you can set the "Can Be Edited & Controlled By" to be the specific Player, otherwise leave this blank until they have joined. They can join and exit at times when you are not connected and as long as they have joined at least once, you can grant them control by changing the "Can Be Edited & Controlled By".
Click "Save Changes"
Assigning the PC to a Token
Add the token to the Map
Associate the Token by selecting it, clicking its Cog and setting the "Represents Character" option.
Save Changes.
Make that token the Default Token for the PC by associating it with the Character in the Journal.
Creating Handouts in the Journal
How to create them – just click the "+Add" button in the Journal tab, and choose Handout.
What can you use them for?
Rules explanations. Notes – such as Party Treasure list – assign control to a trusted Player Pictures of things you might want to show Treasure Maps The Map of the Campaign area Riddles Info about organisations, areas or people.
You can make handouts visible to ALL PLAYERS or to just one or two.
Adding your own Art to the Art Library
I usually save images into a folder on my own machine ready to drag into Roll20.
It's best to save the images in as low-resolution as possible (but still keeping enough definition to not look too tatty). This will use up less of your storage space and (more importantly) load quicker and use less memory while playing in Roll20.
The Map Layer – using a Map Image
You can Drag an image direct from your own PC onto the Map Layer or you can drag a picture out of the Art Library tab.
The Map Layer – drawing your own map
If you have some map tile images in your Art Library you can drop them onto the Map Layer to make your own maps. You can also draw rough sketch maps on the map layer just using the drawing tools. For Fate Accelerated maps for combat situations are rarely needed - sometimes a sketch of Zones is all you need.
The GM Layer – Only YOU can see the things on this layer
Use it to place monster/npc tokens ready for use and only move them to the Objects layer when they become visible to the player characters.
Tokens that are on the GM Layer can still be added to the Turn Order (but only YOU will see them)
Use the GM Layer for INVISIBLE (or hidden) monster/npc tokens.
Use it to place notes for yourself (reminders about Traps or Secret Doors or Treasure or room numbers etc)
The Object Layer
This is where PC tokens belong and where any visible objects should be if you intend to interact with them during the game (move them, change names, put status effect icons on them).
Showing things to Players
Shift+Z on a selected token to show a bigger picture of the token to all players
When you edit a Handout from the Journal you can "Show to Players"

Collins Cheboi stole the show at the 2011 Stawell Gift running 3.56.67 on grass in the Herb Hedemann 1600m: not quite a mile, but after you read the full circumstances of the run, you'll agree it was a truly extraordinary achievement.
Sometimes running throws up surprises. This one happened at an Australian Rules Football ground called Central Park in Stawell, a small town inside the state of Victoria in south-eastern Australia. Every Easter, the cream of Australia's athletic talent descends on this modest town of 6000 residents to enjoy the Stawell Gift Athletics Carnival. Most famous for its Sheffield Distance (120m) handicap sprint race, the so named "Stawell Gift" – a race that carries over $60,000 Australian dollars in prize money.
This year the organizers had managed to attract 2003 world 100m champion Kim Collins to race in that event. However, the run that stole the show was the 3.56.67 performance of Kenyan Collins Cheboi in the Herb Hedemann Invitation 1600m. As the starter marshaled the runners few were expecting the Cheboi charge that followed.
For the uninitiated, the Victorian Athletic League (VAL) organizes a series of events – all run on grass tracks over the course of the Australian summer. These culminate in the Easter weekend where traditionally Stawell has been the last and most prestigious of the athletics meetings held. This footrace has history stretching back 130 years into the gold rush days when now tiny Stawell harbored a population of 200,000+ fortune seekers. This year as the famous town hall clock began to chime out 1pm, a select field of 25 national standard and more than handy sub-elite 1500m runners stood spread out over their allotted handicaps for the Herb Hedemann invitation 1600m. These runners were chasing prestige as much as the chance of winning a brightly colored silken sash and novelty sized cheque, for the prize money was a modest $5000, with $2,250 allocated for the winner.
Almost all races organized by the VAL are handicapped by distance; with slower runners afforded a head-start on faster competitors. It makes for entertaining racing and gives more than a sporting chance to those of humbler abilities. In fact, often runners try to outfox the handicapper by deliberately underachieving or running dead, until they are allocated what they perceive to be a winning mark. Runners known for their surprising ability to produce stunning improvements to win a race at Stawell have also been seen cleaning out the bookmakers with dramatic last-minute betting plunges. This all adds to the intrigue of racing at Stawell over the Easter long weekend.
It's worth noting that in this race, the competitors were of a high standard – about 4 minute or faster 1500m runners with many times on the record available for scrutiny, so the handicaps were about as fair and transparent as possible. The front marker was given a 110m head start on Kenyan Collins Cheboi, the owner of a 3:33.82 1500m personal best. The front marker would run 1490m, whereas Cheboi, running from the 0m scratch mark, would complete the full 1600m journey. Also in the field was Brenton Rowe, the third place getter in the 2011 Australian 1500m championships with a personal best of 3.39.68, running off 25m and Philo Saunders, a former winner of "the Herb" and a consistent National 1500m finalist over the past 10 years, with a personal best of 3.41.22 – Saunders running off 35m.
Earlier in the weekend Cheboi had blown up spectacularly after reeling off a 53 second lap during a chase for victory in the back-markers mile, so a few of the wise old heads about town considered he didn't have the racing nous to chase down the seasoned group of competitors entered in the Herb Hedemann 1600m. Handicap running is all about expending your energy as wisely as possible. Over the years at Stawell I've seen a few national standard distance runners, sporting the back-marker's red vest, out-kicked by a runner of lesser ability. Such is the nature of handicaps by distance; the back marker not only has to run faster, but also cover more ground. This can leave the men in red vulnerable in the closing stages as they have expended all their energy to make the catch, leaving little in reserve to raise a kick in the run for home.
Collins Cheboi is clearly a fast learner, because this time he expended his energy more wisely, peeling off a slightly more conservative 1.54 for the first 800m! Running is such a sport of relativity, a runner of Cheboi's class was making some very good runners look pedestrian as he began working through the colored jerseys of some solid citizens of the mile. A 60 second third lap looked explosive as the field settled down, Cheboi running around the field was good enough to hit the front with 400m to run. His courageous style of running had the crowd on their feet and the commentators struggling to find the right superlatives to describe what was quickly developing into a very special piece of middle distance running.
As the final lap unfolded Cheboi looked for a moment as if the chase had caught up with him, as he slowed slightly and Brenton Rowe threatened with a well-paced run, but to the delight of his adoring fans, Collins Cheboi managed to summon the energy to kick home for a comfortable win.
While 1600m is a short mile, consider three factors that make this an exceptional run. Running wide and in traffic for much of the race would have to mean that if Cheboi didn't run the full 1609.344m, he must have come close. Peter Coe suggests that running on the outside of the inside lane is equivalent to running an extra 1.6m per lap – so we'll give Collins at least an extra 5m for the first three laps when he ran wide on the bends, sometimes three or four abreast. Further, the psychological impact of chasing on performance can't be underestimated, seeing runners spread out over 100m ahead of you is bound to get the blood pumping and force you to expend more effort than needed in the early stages.
The slower second half of the race and Collins Cheboi hitting the lead with 400m to run is a testament to this phenomenon. And I didn't mention, that at Stawell and in professional foot racing, runners are not allowed to wear a watch, therefore judging pace becomes a critical element in handicap racing. Finally, running on grass tracks must be something of a shock to the system for runners accustomed to the energy returning properties of modern rubber athletics tracks. However, given the cross country pedigree of most Kenyan runners, perhaps this wasn't as much of a barrier to Collins Cheboi as to some of the local runners.
I hope Collins Cheboi comes back to Stawell in 2012, his fearless, swashbuckling running was entertaining to watch and something that few who witnessed it will be likely to forget.

Efficiency of a vehicle plays an important role in many aspects. Most people focus only on fuel consumption but vehicle efficiency has a lot other benefits if you know how to get the most out of your ride. For example, a vehicle with a higher efficiency will always have better energy consumption rates and it will always provide a better driving experience. Also, an efficient vehicle will have higher safety ratios and it will ensure your safety on the road. But how can you make an old vehicle more efficient? Most people do have this question but a professional service provider will find it easier to answer it with a lot of different details. this guide will focus on a few tips that can help you make your ride much more efficient and all of them have been discussed and approved by experts in industry.
First and foremost, you need to understand the critical or rather vital parts of your ride. If you want to make your vehicle more efficient, you will have to focus on those vital parts or systems. for instance, if you want a more comfortable driving experience, adding more latest suspension systems or parts will be a good idea. However, those parts alone will not be able to provide an overall result and hence, you need to consider other vital parts such as engine itself and electrical system etc. to get the overall efficiency ratings up.
Choosing the right parts or professional help too will help you achieve better results. For example, if you are taking your vehicle to a garage or a professional auto care center, you need to look through their professional reputation as well as their work record before making a final decision. When you are purchasing vehicle parts, make sure to choose well-reputed and popular manufacturers and brand names instead of opting for cheaper options.
As mentioned earlier, efficiency of a vehicle is an addition of efficiency ratings of multiple systems. you can always add more utilities and extra vehicle parts such as towing accessories or lighting systems to add more efficiency to your vehicle. However, you have to make sure that these additions will not affect main functions of your ride.Frankly, most people don't have a very clear idea about these vehicle upgrades, maintenance procedures and overall efficiency levels. That only make things worse because people end up making wrong calls more often than not. Make sure to educate yourself through a proper research and you will know how to make the perfect decisions without much hassle!

It's the new revolution; intimacy apparel…
SexCies' CorCelette has the control of shapewear, the look of lingerie…and the comfort of fleece pajamas!
I know how awesome it is, let me buy it now!
Originally designed for C-section Moms, the CorCelette is perfect for any woman who wants to boost her confidence in the bedroom! Comprised of top-quality imported Satin D'hauteur, with high performance stretch knit fabric and underlying powernet, this garment is made sturdy but looks delicate and feminine… he will never know it's really shapewear!
Moms were kept in mind during all phases of development; exciting is the "smile" curve of the bottom of SexCies, which is specially shaped to follow below the C-section incision, ensuring the scar and more importantly, the "flap" and folds are covered, yet is still high enough to wear during intimacy. For the woman who has never had a Cesarean, she can still be assured that all parts of her abdomen gets coverage, especially the lower abdominal area which can "pooch" out after a traditional birth.
One of the best features of the CorCelette is its adjustability, which is wonderful for new Moms with the natural post-partum weight fluctuations! Luxurious faux fur hand-stitched underneath the CorCelette minimizes irritation on a C-scar caused by regular fabric. For those without scars, the fur is an enjoyable touch as it pampers the skin and prevents friction from intimate movement.
As an added bonus, SexCies boasts a "secret" eyelet underneath the flirty satin ruffle on the hem, which can be used as an option to include in lacing. This in order to give "extra" control and security; traditionally C-sectioned women were advised to hold a pillow against their tummy during intimacy, this helps to serve the same purpose!

Phrase searching is one of the most powerful ways to search.
Use quotes to enclose key phrases. This will search for the words in the exact order that they appear.
"femme fatale"
"french revolution"
"north by northwest"
"kurt vonnegut"
By default in SingleSearch, all terms in a search are combined with the AND operator.
For example: typing age of aquarius in the search bar is the same as typing age AND of AND aquarius. (FYI: If you search for a preposition that isn't part of a particular phrase--using quotes--odd things can happen to your search results. Consider this: how many articles or books or movies have the word of in them?)
Boolean operations (AND, OR, NOT) must be entered in ALL CAPS.
Here is a terrific infographic on boolean operators from Prince George's Community College:
You can use Boolean operators in combination with phrase searching like so:
"local food" OR "sustainable eating"
Boolean operators can also be nested:
(local OR sustainable) agriculture is the same as a search for (local OR sustainable) AND agriculture
On the other hand,
local OR sustainable agriculture is the same as a search for local OR (sustainable AND agriculture)
To exclude items in search, use the NOT operator or the minus symbol before the word.
Example: animal NOT dog, animal -dog

My criteria:
- Vegetarian or easy to leave the meat out
- Ingredients I am likely to have on hand or have some familiarity with
- Easy enough prep that I could actually point my boys to it and let them make it, without copious hovering
- I would consider eating/drinking it, at least one day a year
Spinach Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing. Now that the farm share is starting to roll in again, we are awash in spinach and other greens. Not sure both boys would be into this as a salad, but I fully expect it could served in a deconstructed format with ranch dressing (for at least one boy) optional. The other one would totally eat this.
Homemade Creamy Gluten-Free Mac and Cheese. I don't often eat Mac and Cheese because... well, you know. But if my kids made me this for Mother's Day? I totally would.
Easy Sauteed Brussels Sprouts. I love Brussels sprouts. My partner loves Brussels spouts. I would fill my plate with 3/4's of this, telling the boys that I want to leave more Mac and Cheese for them. I'm thoughtful and generous that way.
Frosty Peach Shake. Dessert! I would encourage the freezer pop option so that a reasonable amount of time could pass between Mac N Cheese and this. I'd point the boys to the 1% milk instead of the almond milk -- I've read that other "milks" might not set up well. Though I guess if it's frozen it would. Whatever.
Cinnamon Sugar Chickpeas. I have a savory version in my ecookbook, but it's nice to have a little sweet thing to have on hand as an evening snack.
Enjoy the day!

"Fine Art Photography is my passion, my love, my creative ambition."
Scott Weingarten born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, USA, and attended Art College for four years in New York City. I have a degree in both Fashion Illustration and Fine Arts. I have studied photography with a mentor for six years. Learning Photoshop and different photography techniques helped me to grow tremendously in my art career. I use my fine arts talent in my photography. I have started to do studio work for about four years now. For this particular body of work I photographed flowers using different techniques with various props chosen at random. I have always been fascinated by photographing flowers and abstracting them in very unusual ways. This series shows flowers in all different directions photographed from overhead to create a flamboyant effect. I've looked inside my vivid imagination and felt my thoughts in a colorful supernatural world. My photographs show nature in harmonious situations. My photographs bring my inner thoughts back to life showing my youth through soulful creativity.
