Nalle working Humildes pa casa, 8c. Photo from Nalles blog.
A couple of days ago I was going through my RSS-feeds and saw a new post by Nalle Hukkataival, the strong Finish boulderer with FA up to 8C. Now he is visiting Catalonia in northern Spain and trying to build some stamina for the long routes of Oliana. He writes "Humildes pa casa, the best tufa in Spain!" and I must say it looks amazing! I googled a bit more and found a beautiful photo of the route and a video of Sharma climbing it on-sight… I understand that the route is 50 meters long with the tufa being the last 25 meters. Crazy, just crazy.
OK, I think I will just have to realize that I will never climb this route but just looking at the photos makes me want to pack my rope, draws and shoes and head to the nearest cliff. The Oliana-area is a really nice place to climb even for us mere mortals, as I wrote in an earlier post. We also have a really nice place to stay for all of you considering heading this way, Cal Rafeló.

Who's your new Daddy? GoDaddy.com goes up for sale.
According to a story just published by The Wall Street Journal, GoDaddy.com, a website that registers Internet domain names and is known for its intriguing, because of their raciness, commercials has put itself for auction.
GoDaddy.com is no one trick pony, however. The company also sells e-commerce, security and other services to individuals and businesses in need of managing their online presence. Financial records indicate the company posted revenue between $750 million and $800 million in 2009.
With the domain registration successes and other services, those familiar with the sale indicate the auction of the site could result in a sale exceeding more than $1 billion.
Technology banker Frank Quattrone who runs Qatalyst Partners, has seen his firm selected as the party to execute the sale of Go Daddy Group Inc. which runs the world's largest domain name registrar.
Who's expected to try to acquire the company? According to WSJ, "Private-equity firms are expected to bid for the company, which currently has more than 43 million domains under management."
Are you a GoDaddy.com customer? What services do you use? Your prediction on the final sale price?

Portland, OR (WiredPRNews.com) Payne explains why hyperinflation is a problem and tells how to not only protect yourself, but also how to profit with the coming economic collapse.
This week entrepreneur Michael Payne announced he is partnering with KB Gold Pros to offer an important new business offering gold-backed savings accounts to the masses. The business system was created in association with well-known Internet guru Damian Benko.
The KB Gold Pros business runs on auto-pilot, requires no previous training, and can be owned and operated by just about anyone. "We provide our members with self-branded websites and give you simple instructions on how to use our powerful marketing and order fulfillment systems. You really don't have to do much more than click a few buttons and send traffic to your site, the business will sell itself," Payne said recently from his office in Portland, Or. More information on the KB Gold Pros business is available at http://www.Kb-goldpros.com.
Payne's focus had recently been in various online and offline marketing businesses until he was introduced to a business involving gold-backed savings accounts. "I was fearful about the current economic conditions and was looking for a way to protect myself and my family. I came across KB Gold Pros and I dropped everything. I knew this was the way I could protect the financial future of my family. I'm so excited about the opportunity to help others open gold-backed savings accounts, I really can't stop talking about it," Payne said.
Pointing out that his formal training is in the electrician field, Payne stresses, new members need no experience with economics, stock markets, or in business. "Most of my experience is Wiring up houses and businesses but I had no idea how to make money in the gold business," Payne said.
The KB Gold Pros team provided all the systems and training necessary to get Payne's online gold business up and running in record time. "We're excited to have a guy like Michael joining our leadership team. He has shown true leadership by his effort, dedication, and determination in building this business. We are very lucky to have him as part of our team," Benko said.
Payne says he fears the U.S. dollar is crumbling and the resulting economic crisis is going to change our way of life in this country. "I hate to be the doom and gloom type, but the facts and figures are there for all of us to see and the outlook is not pretty. I want to help as many people as I can open gold-backed savings accounts as a way to hedge themselves against the grim economic outlook," Payne said. Payne stresses the information is out there to inform people on the crisis ahead."I'm not a financial expert and I don't give investment advice, but I urge people to take a look at our current economic situation and decide if they should do something about it before it's too late," Payne.

@MarkSL As mentioned on another thread, we have identified the issue and we are actively working on a hotfix. We will keep the thread posted as we know more. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Update: A hotfix has been validated and is approved for deployment. Once deployed, you will need to edit your app(s) in Studio and re-publish. I will update this thread once hotfix deployment is complete.
Update: We are still working to deploy the hotfix. We encountered a technical issue which prevented us from deploying sooner. I will update this thread again once hotfix deployment is complete.
Hey Mark, from looking at your code I would check to make sure that the type of argument is the same, as in that SiteName and UserSite are both text values. Using the Selected/SelectedText can return a record instead of a field value so you might need to add a .SiteName or .Result (in the event you are using something like Distinct to get the list) or something like that. Example:
Set(UserSite, combo_SiteName.SelectedText.SiteName); Set(UserLocationCode, LookUp(LoggedInUsersDetails, SiteName = UserSite)
Even if it is a single column table, PowerApps will still interpret it as a record instead of a text value. Maybe try that and see if it sorts things out?
Also, one thing with your LoggedInUsersDetail code: while it obviously works as is, you may want to use the ClearCollect function instead of Clear and then Collect. Something like this:
Set(LoggedInUserEmail, User().Email); ClearCollect( LoggedInUsersDetails, Filter( '[dbo].[View_UserDetails]', UserEmail = LoggedInUserEmail ) );
It cleans things up a bit if you don't have to expressly call Clear first. Exceptions to this would be if you are using a ForAll loop and collecting within it; then you would need to clear the collection before the ForAll loop and use Collect.
At any rate, let me know if that previous issue is resolved by my suggestion or not. If it isn't, we'll keep at it!
@_Corey_, thanks again for the updates and all the work in getting the gallery issues resolved! It is appreciated!
Final update: A hotfix to address the issue has been successfully deployed. The updated Studio version is v3.19052.20.115177617. You will need to edit your app(s) in Studio and re-publish for the fix to take effect--please remember that it make take up to a few minutes for the newly published app(s) to be packaged and available to players (web or mobile). Please report any issues you experience with this update.

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal commented on the capability of Aam Aadmi Party leader Bhagwant Mann and said he was not a capable leader, and telling jokes on stage does not make him a politician.
Parkash Singh Badal added that the Aam Aadmi Party is slowly disintegrating in Punjab and soon will be finished. CM Badal also said Bhagwant Mann should focus on his constituency, from where he stood and was elected MP instead of being here there and everywhere.
Parkash Singh Badal said the Shiromani Akal Dal faces no real competition from Aam Aadmi Party as AAP's internal politics and breakups will continue.

BMW brings the Drone Racing League to BMW Welt in Munich
14 Mar, 2018, 12:00 GMT
- New partnership with the Drone Racing League (DRL).
- In collaboration with BMW, DRL is developing the world's fastest racing drone.
- 2018 DRL Allianz World Championship season event to take over BMW Welt on July 28, 2018.
NEW YORK and MUNICH, March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative technology, action-packed racing and international championships: more and more people around the world are discovering a passion for drone racing. BMW is collaborating with the Drone Racing League (DRL), the international, premier drone racing circuit, to further develop high-performance racing drones in the BMW Group wind tunnel and bring a professional drone race to BMW Welt.
Jörg Reimann, Head of BMW International Brand Experience, said: "The partnership with DRL will enhance BMW's racing involvement with future-oriented formats. Drone racing is a very competitive type of racing, characterised by the interplay of extremely high-performance material and digital technology. This represents an environment in which BMW has assumed a pioneering position for many years in its core business. We are very much looking forward to this collaboration and to the new event formats that we will be developing together with our partners."
DRL organises the largest global drone racing series, the DRL Allianz World Championship, in which elite FPV (First Person View) pilots race custom-made DRL drones through complex, three-dimensional courses in iconic venues across the world. As the Official Partner, BMW is bringing the second to last race of the 2018 season to Munich on July 28, taking place at BMW Welt. The race will be broadcast this fall in more than 75 countries on leading sports programs including Prosieben.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with BMW, a world-class motorsports brand with a rich legacy of innovation. We look forward to bringing the futuristic sport of drone racing to BMW Welt and putting our proprietary technology to the test to make history with BMW," said DRL CEO and Founder, Nicholas Horbaczewski.
Last year, DRL hand-built the DRL RacerX, the fastest racing drone on earth, which set the Guinness World RecordTM for the fastest ground speed by a battery-powered remote-controlled quadcopter at a speed of 265.87 km/h. Thanks to a close collaboration with the BMW Group, DRL will now aim to break this record. Tests will take place in the wind tunnel at the Aerodynamic Test Center with this ambitious goal in mind, allowing DRL to leverage the technological expertise of the car manufacturer.

Classic Rock EZX v1.0.0 WiN MAC
Classic rock drum gold – the big, obnoxious and loud kind. The Classic Rock EZX comes with two kits as well as several additional instruments and extras derived from magesy download the Legacy of Rock SDX, an expansion for Superior Drummer 3 recorded by legendary engineer/producer Eddie Kramer at AIR Studios in London, UK. Heavily inspired by Eddie Kramer's work with primarily Led Zeppelin, all aspects of this EZX were designed to provide the ultimate source for instant classic rock gold – the choice of drum kits, the presets and the MIDI. This EZX simply bursts loud, reverberant rock from magesy download the onset and out. 'The Amber Kit,' which represents a reproduction of the acrylic kit that John Bonham used during the now-historic "The Song Remains the Same" recordings in 1976, has a truly unique, open-sounding and blaring tone. To contrast, 'The Sparkle Kit,' also a homage to a setup frequently used by Bonham in several classic sessions, presents a more traditional tonal palette while still offering that mandatory, deafening rock sound. In other words, two perfect kits for classic rock – engineered to perfection by the man who helped shape its very essence.

In Paris: Colin Pantall shakes up "the mythology of the family"
Colin Pantall began photographing his daughter, Isabel, in the delivery room moments after she was born. From then on, "it was just constant", he says. Previously, the pictures he took were architectural, environmental, sometimes historical; but becoming a father re-oriented him entirely. The transition wasn't effortless. In the early days his experience of fatherhood was spiked with feelings of claustrophobia and intense anxiety – fear of Isabel's death, fear of his own. A sense that he could easily become obsolete.

Though it's only a draft, the Environmental Impact Study the U.S. Department of Transportation recently released online suggests the long-awaited Interstate 10 bridge of the Mobile River could have significant effects on local businesses both large and small.
The environmental impact study will get fine tuned over the next six months, and the project itself will be designed over the next two years.
The EIS report shows four possible alternative paths the 215-foot tall bridge could take, which are listed as Alternatives A, B, B (Prime) and C. Three of these — A, B and B (Prime) — would add a lane to the eastbound Broad Street on ramp and carry it onto the I-10 mainline, thereby widening the eastbound section of the Interstate to six lanes.
Alternative B and B (Prime), the preferred route, would affect both Austal USA, Mobile Abrasives and Harrison Brothers. They would also require the acquisition of 13 smaller businesses near the waterfront area.
Those include:
Delta Bail Bond Company, Outlaw Bail Bonding Company, Bond Max Bail Bonding Company, James Bail Bonding Company, James Darley Esq. Law Office, Bandit Bonding Company, Blackwell's Towing Company, South Royal Street Vacant Metal Building, South Royal Street Vacant Concrete Building, South Royal Street Vacant Metal Warehouse and Southern Fish and Oyster Company.
The report mentions available space located at Mobile Metro Jail complex as a possible replacement for the affected businesses and states that "no problems finding adequate replacement locations for these businesses are anticipated."
It also acknowledges the more than 50-year history and family ownership of Southern Fish and Oyster Company.
"This site requires that business have river frontage or be in very close proximity to the river," the report reads. "The state currently owns river frontage as a protective purchase. After the alignment of the required bridge is determined, sufficient surplus state property will be available to accommodate the re-establishment of this business on the river."
Alternative B (Prime) creates only a slight shift in the path of the bridge, but it has been identified as the preferred Alternative in the report and is also preferred by the City of Mobile and Austal USA.
Unlike Alternative B, B (Prime) would not have an impact on Austal's newly constructed administration building and would cause less of an impact on the shipbuilder's parking lot – only affecting a quarter of the 1,000 parking spaces available.
"Without sufficient parking areas, Austal may not be able to meet future labor demands," the report reads. "The parking situation can be improved with the construction of an on-site parking garage with an estimated construction cost of $15 million."
The report makes no indication of how such a parking facility would be funded.
B (Prime) also avoids the Old Union Hall, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It also wouldn't interfere with any future operations that might be located at the Mobile Cruise Ship Terminal.
As for the local economy, the report suggests Alternative A would affect the least number of maritime jobs – only 78. It's projected that B and B (Prime) could cause 97 job losses, but that's still significantly fewer than the project 3,258 jobs affected by Alternative C.
If selected, Alternative C would also affect four residential houses and the following businesses:
Dyer Trucking Company, Mellow Yellow Kitchen Catering, Neptune's Daughters Float Storage 1 and 2, Refined Oil Products, Merritt Oil Company, Radio Holland USA, Liz's Bar Vacant, an Abandoned Commercial building, Gulf City Body and Trailer Works, Atlas Ship Services, Pratt's D.E. Ship Supplies and One Our Bonding.
Because there are no other warehouse facilities in the area, the report suggests under Alternative C "it's unlikely the Mardi Gras float storage for Neptune's Daughters will able to continue to operate and (its current) site."
Which Alternative is selected hinges on input from city officials, businesses, the general public and other stakeholders.
The Alabama Department of Transportation has confirmed the date and times of two public hearings for the proposed bridge project, which will also address the widening of the Bayway.
The hearings will take place from 5-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 23 at the Alabama Cruise Terminal and Monday, Sept. 29 at the Five Rivers Delta Resource Center at the same time.

Hello my beauties !! Today I want to tell you about the signature of Cosmetics Bronx colors http://bronxcolors.com/products/, a brand for the diversity of skin traits and women that there are, with a lot of styles. Then I leave you everything I have been testing and my impressions:
- Lipstick Matte Lip, is super creamy, is a gloss that leaves you a natural and sophisticated long lasting tone.
- Concealer brush, the brush to apply the makeup, I love it is very practical.
- Face first, leaves the skin luminous and is perfect to apply before the makeup, thus this lasts much more and remains impeccable after the application.
- Natural shade palette -undercover, has 12 leftovers and the applicator, has many neutral tones and a range of browns that I love, has become one of my favorites.
- Eye brow travel kit, brings 2 shadows and an illuminator, emphasizes a lot of eyebrows giving it a natural look.
- 3D Mask: leaves you the eyelashes spectacular with an incredible volument and extra hydrated.

If you're one of those people who goes around correcting the grammar, spelling and word usage of others, take heed: you may want to double-check those "hard and fast" rules. Author Lauren Davis wrote an article for i09 in which she discusses ten often corrected "mistakes" that are subjective at worst. Let's take ending a sentence with a preposition, for example. Davis has this to say about that grammatical situation,
"There's a cheeky sentence on the matter that is frequently (and apocryphally) attributed to Winston Churchill: "This is the sort of bloody nonsense up with which I will not put." Soanes offers four examples of when it is perfectly alright (and perhaps even preferable) to end one's sentence with a preposition:
-passive structures (she enjoys being fussed over)
-relative clauses (they must be convinced of the commitment that they are taking on)
-infinitive structures (Tom had no-one to play with)
-questions beginning with who, where, what, etc. (what music are you interested in?)
Fogarty adds that the one case in which you want to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition, at least in formal writing, is when the meaning of the sentence doesn't change when you drop the preposition, e.g. "Where are you going?" instead of "Where are you going to?" But in informal spoken English, you will see such phrases, especially in certain dialects."

2 p.m., Monday–Thursday, Hall of Philosophy
The Interfaith Lecture Series is designed to present issues that impact the lived experience of everyday life from theological, religious, spiritual, ethical, and humanitarian perspectives. Find video and audio recordings of past lectures, including those from the current season, at our Online Grounds.
Interfaith Fridays
Why should the world be moving in an interfaith direction? Nine lectures, on nine Fridays, from nine leaders in nine different faith traditions will answer that question. Moderated by the Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, this lively and engaging conversation is also live-streamed on Facebook and archived at online.chq.org, so you can participate regardless of whether you are on the grounds or away.
Week One :: June 27–July 4
Faith to Save the Earth
Climate change is often called a scientific or political issue, but is there an imperative that comes from a position of faith? In this week, we explore what role various faith traditions play in response to the care of the earth and how those different world views might be harnessed to prioritize our global and local response.
Week Two :: July 4–11
Forces that Shape Our Daily Lives: The Contemporary Search for Spirituality
The recent studies are countless: organized mainstream religion is on the decline, and we have an emerging class of "nones," referring to those who assign themselves to no faith tradition at all. But other assessments tell us that while many don't identify with a mainstream religion, many more are indeed on a journey seeking spirituality and meaning. In this week we look at the evolution of modern faith traditions and ask: How might the "nones" unite with the mainstream to shape a better future?
Week Three :: July 11–18
Art: A Glimpse into the Divine
Art inspires, art teaches, art speaks, art energizes, art soothes, art heals, art empowers. Art underlies and underlines the commonalities of human existence. In this week we look into the spiritual power of art to glimpse the divine, in all its forms, and change the world.
Week Four :: July 18–25
Ethics in a Technologically Transforming World?
Technology seems to be overtaking the world, from our obsession with electronic devices to the emerging artificial intelligence that helps us do everything from keep grocery lists to make war between nations. Outside of the practical applications, however, is there a question of right or wrong? What happens when technological capacity reaches a level that calls into question our very role as human beings in a society? In this week, we explore the ethical, spiritual and religious dimensions of "new tech." Is it a step away from our own spiritual growth or can it be harnessed to create greater understanding?
Week Five :: July 25–August 1
The Feminine Spirit
Confucian Correlative Cosmology, specifically Taoism, presented the image of the Yin/Yang Holism (the Tai Chi) to describe how seemingly opposite forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. In this image, the feminine charisms are juxtaposed with the masculine charisms (neither are strictly gender-specific), and in this emerging era it has been observed that the feminine is finally rising, ultimately to restore balance and to revitalize the world. In this week, we shine a light on the feminine charisms and spirit and some leading women who embody this spirit.
Week Six :: August 1–8
Lessons in the School House
More than 55 years after the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling striking down school-sponsored prayer, Americans continue to resist representations of religion in public schools. The future of a thriving nation, however, resides in the integrity of its people and, therefore, in the content of what its children are taught. Public schools are crucial not only for fostering careers and livelihoods, and for learning unto itself, but also for shaping the most "good-of-the-whole" consciousness in our citizens. In this week we will look at the importance of teaching both religious cultural literacy (as opposed to religion) as well as ethical literacy in our public schools for the purpose of creating an ethically and culturally-informed citizenry.
Week Seven :: August 8–15
The Spirituality of Us
In the midst of concerns about tribalism, isolation, and seemingly incompatible cultural world views, the spirit of the world's traditions — East, West, indigenous, and divined — continues to communicate essential wisdom and to weave tapestries of spiritual truth that reveal the "Us" of the world's varieties of peoples. Be with us this week as we uncover emanations of the wondrous and mysterious wholeness that we in the U.S. are meant to be.
Week Eight :: August 15–22
Reframing Our Journey: A Week with Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM
Fr. Richard Rohr moved Chautauqua audiences in droves during our 2019 season. The Franciscan mystic, theologian and movement-maker challenged us both as a chaplain of the week and in conversation each subsequent afternoon as part of our Interfaith Lecture Series. This year, we welcome Fr. Richard back during our week on "Reframing the Constitution" to more intentionally help citizens think about how they are reframing their own journey.
Week Nine :: August 22–30
The Future We Want, The World We Need
In a constantly evolving world, what needs to change, what can change, and what do we and all peoples actually need — not only to survive, but to sustain life and to thrive? In this week, we will ask these humanitarian questions and more: questions that make us think; questions that trigger other questions. Please come and be part of the conversation.

text: Microbes must cope with harsh, rapidly changing environments to survive. To do this, microbes have developed sophisticated mechanisms to (a) sense the changes in the environment, and (b) respond quickly to these changes to protect itself from harm or capitalize on an opportunity. Our lab seeks to rewire these fundamental sensing/catalysis relationships to program cells to do useful things for mankind in a paradigm called synthetic biology. Sensing: We study methods to modify existing environmental detection sensors in yeast and modify them to detect new analytes. Catalysis: We investigate ways microbes modify their metabolic networks and use these modifications to increase production of a given metabolite.

Badges & Awards
Fallschirmjaeger Heer Award Badge
Why am I writing this article? There are a few reasons. I started this article mainly as a road map for myself when looking for genuine World War Two Heer (Army) Fallschirmjaeger (Paratrooper) award badges to purchase. Before I purchased my first badge I did not have a clue in identifying a fake from original unless it was stamped 'Made in Hong Kong'! I also noticed that authors never really detail the subject in a calculated way, this could be because they did not want to give too much information to the fakers.
I wanted a more formal process of identification to help reduce the margin of error, especially since some originals will sell for £10,000 plus for original 800 silver engraved badge and £1000 plus for 1943 Zinc badge!
There seem to be expressions here and opinions there, which is all very well and good but I want to know what to look for to identify a fake. Yes, it is important to have opinions and different viewpoints on the look and feel but to me the starting point is to ideally have dimentions, weights, finishes, materials, facts etc. to feed into the overall verification calculation. I may sound a bit calculated here but I do appreciate their beauty and I also appreciate that no 'process' will identify an original item in its own right (some fakes were made immediately after the war, so carbon dating is pretty much out even if you could afford it!). Get the basics correct and then work from there is my opinion. However there will be disagreement with some of the basics and that is fine as long as you factor in a sutable margin of error that is acceptable to you as the buyer. Remember the seller has very little too loose selling you a lovely aged aluminium 1st pattern replica for £4,500 that cost him less than £50!
I do intend to expand on this section to cover all versions of the German Army Paratrooper Award Badge but I'll start with the 1943 Feinzink version. Before I begin I recommend that if you are a serious buyer that you purchase at least some of the following and I recommend car boot sales if you want to save money: a metal centimeter (cm) ruler ideally graduated to 0.5mm; metal internal and external measurement calipers with a fine graduation wheel; precision thickness measure (don't know the real name but the picture below demonstrates what I mean!); a set of fine electronic scales graduated in grams and a good quality jewlers eyeglass. (Some items pictured below).
You may say that these instruments are overkill and you won't get the chance to use them but I've spoken to several dealers who say that more of the experienced buyers are using these instruments just as a double check or reassurance that their initial opinions are correct. Also why would a seller stop you from sitting down for five minutes and measure up the badge worth £8,000, if they do, then they have something to hide - walk away from that Fallschirmjäger badge!
This version of the badge - 1943 issue in Zinc. Was issued to Brandenburgers (the German Army Commandos), the Heer Fallschirmjager as replacement badges to their original aluminium badges which broke easily and it is conjectured the
Waffen SS Fallschirmjaeger 500 / 600 Battalion
. This battalion is thought to have been issued both Luftwaffe and Heer versions of the badge, although this is difficult to verify due to scant information and photographs on this unit.
Here are the attributes of the badge. There may be slight variations so please take this into account but generally tolernaces of 0.5mm are I would say acceptable.
Measurable Attributes:
Height - Top of eagle head to bottom of wreath
Height - Swastica to bottom wreath internal
Height - Eagle Claw vertical measure to top wing
Height - Top of eagle head to bottom of swastica
Width - Wreath central to wreath central
Width - Wreath central to wreath central internal
Width - Eagle beak to rear middle wing
Width - Top eagle wing to wing horizontal
Width - Brass to brass roller
Width - Right & left hand wreath
Depth - Right & left hand wreath
Depth - Eagle middle wing extremity to rear
Depth - Eagle Claws
29 grams
General Attributes:
Bubbling on rear of eagle
Rivets usually very dark and small (tiny)

True to its predecessor, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, when it comes to research and unlock opportunities in XCOM 2, you are spoiled for choice initially. With a number of research paths to choose from leading into the game's very first mission, there are a number of powerful paths available to you soon after starting the game. Deciding on which research to choose will ultimately determine what facilities, weapons, and equipment your soldiers have access to, which in turn will dictate your overall mission play style. This leads to some difficult decisions, but none more so than which will make you the best alien-slaughtering liberator of humanity the fastest.
The following guide provides advice on early research choices within the first three tiers of the XCOM 2 research tree. While some choices will add direct benefits to your chosen play style immediately, others are simply mandatory for unlocking aforementioned benefits.
Upgraded Weapons and Armor Path
Who doesn't feel safer with three inches of plated armor on their chest and a big gun in hand when a Muton comes knocking? However, by choosing to upgrade weapons and armor first is a strategy that can be expensive in the short term, but a powerful long-term move.
The choices for the Upgraded Weapons and Armor Path are as follows:
Modular Weapons > Hybrid Materials > Magnetic Weapons > Advanced Warfare Center > Plated Armor > Proving Grounds
You can also weave in Mag Weapons, Gauss Weapon Research, Predator Armor, Spider Suit, E.X.O. Suit, Alien Autopsies for added benefits.
Initially, this path forces you to ignore individual soldier training and the creation of items in order to outfit your crew with the best weapons and armor. By prioritizing Modular Weapons, you can modify your weapons with weapon parts found in the field and soon move on to the powerful Magnetic Weapons. This puts damage over protection, however. While Hybrid Materials unlocks the Nanofiber Vests, expect to lose a few soldier s until you can weave in Predator Armor or E.X.O. Suits into the mix. However, the soldiers that don't die horribly will tear things up with their ridiculous weaponry.
Finally, by researching the Advanced Warfare Center, it gives you access to the Proving Grounds. This will give you options for even more powerful weapons and armor that are salvaged from aliens and autopsies.
Psionic Operative Path
Fans of the original XCOM know how amazingly useful the Psionics class was once unlocked. However, unlike taking a good deal of time in the first game, in XCOM 2, you can rush your way through to research tree to get your Psionic Operatives on the field very early in the game.
The Psionic Operative path is as follows:
Alien Biotech > Sectoid Autopsy > Psionics
Psionics will also benefit from Alien Autopsies, Advanced Warfare Center, Mindshield, Advanced Psi Amp research to make them even more formidable in the field.
Once the Psionic Operative is unlocked via the research in Psionics, you will have access to XCOM 2's fifth class. The research need not go any further than that, but by researching Mindshiled (unlocked after the Sectoid Autopsy), you can protect your soldiers against the Psionic attacks of aliens. By tossing in the Advanced Psi Amp research, you increase the attack strength of your Psionic Operatives, so be sure to pick it up at some point if you are intent on using this class to its fullest.
Enhanced Soldier Path
For those that don't need the Psionic Operative right away or have a gnawing need to have the biggest toys, the Solider Enhancement Path is one of the most useful routes for the short-term providing a decent start to upgrading weapons and soldiers for later in the game. However, while it creates a well-rounded army, the time and resource cost of this path is pretty lofty, leaving little room for anything else.
The Enhanced Soldier research path is as follows:
Alien Biotech > Modular Weapons > ADVENT Officer Autopsy > Hybrid Materials
This path will also benefit from picking Alien Autopsies, Advanced Warfare Center, Mag Weapons, Proving Ground, and Plated Armor at some point as well.
With Modular Weapons, you will almost immediately begin to upgrade your gear with weapon parts found in the field while Hybrid Materials unlocks the Nanofiber Vest providing a decent boost to defense until you reach Plated Armor. The Advanced Warfare Center will allow for the quicker recovery of wounded soldiers, essential for those early missions when you have limited soldier choices and also unlocks building options like the Guerrilla Training School and Proving Grounds. The Guerilla Training School gives you access to powerful squad-wide benefits while the Proving Ground acts similar to the Foundry from the first game, giving you access to weapon, armor, and soldier enhancements from alien autopsies.

Stand Up To Cancer (Friday, 8/7c, all major networks)
In one of the more collaborative fund-raising TV events of the year, network anchors Katie Couric, Brian Williams and Diane Sawyer host an hourlong telethon to raise funds and awareness for cancer research, with appearances by notable philanthropic celebs like George Clooney and performances including Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Neil Diamond, Leona Lewis, Lady Antebellum, The Edge and — fitting for an occasion that calls for an open pocketbook and heart — Heart sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson.
Eureka (Friday, 9/8c, Syfy)
Capping off a very enjoyable and game-changing summer run, the mid-season finale of this comedic fantasy adventure unites Allison and Sheriff Carter in the search for a stolen Global Dynamics project, with the time-transported Dr. Grant a chief suspect. During the investigation, they discover a surprising link between Grant and Eureka femme fatale Beverly Barlowe, whose latest schemes result in — what else — a cliffhanging catastrophe.
MTV Video Music Awards (Sunday, 9/8c, MTV)
For at least one night a year, MTV returns to its music roots, with results that are usually memorably outrageous — or at the very least twitter-worthy. To ensure it happens again, this year's VMAs has enlisted the tart-tongued Chelsea Handler as host from L.A.'s Nokia Theatre. Performers include Kanye West, who notoriously stole Taylor Swift's thunder last year and suffered a career nosedive as a result, along with Justin Bieber and other flavors of the moment. The most-nominated superstar: Lady Gaga, of course, with 13.
True Blood (Sunday, 9/8c, HBO)
Last we saw of Eric, he was literally burning (from the sun's rays) with his desire to take deadly revenge on King Russell. As we reach the third-season finale of this berserk supernatural melodrama, Sookie's about had it with both of the vamps in her life, and who can blame her? Meanwhile, more twists ahead for several relationships, including Tara and Sam, Lafayette and Jesus, and Jason and were-panther Crystal, the hottie from Hotshot. It'll be a long wait till next summer.

One of my comments made it through:
* Hello dahlings. How's the paper coming along?
And so did another; and a third. But after that, things dried up, with the appallingly dangerous:
left which went unpublished so far, as well as at least one other. Well, glasnost was only going to last so long.
[Update: now published, it looks like. So they're just slow.]
Unlike the comment just after, which I've highlighted, which clearly met all the WUWT comment guidelines. At least, the unofficial ones which are actually implemented - the "official" ones are meaningless, of course.

The following statement has been issued by TransportiCA, regarding the departure of Jeff Morales as CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, effective 02 June:
"While we are hoping this news is actually for a revamp of 'Punked,' we have to thank Mr. Morales for his five years with the Authority, and the incredible leadership and dedication in some of the Authority's most trying times.
Whether it has been the L.A. Times' dereliction of editorial standards, feeding unfounded fear to unstable and anti-infrastructure politicians; Central Valley residents doggedly opposing the project, yet wanting to obtain these very constructions jobs and contracts; or the desire of the Trump administration to take our transportation and energy systems back-in-time, Mr. Morales has served the Authority well, making sure California's future mobility choices include the cleanest form of mass transportation - high-speed rail.
Very few people will be able to fill the shoes of Mr. Morales, but we hope Governor Brown appoints a fierce leader; one who, not only will stand-up to Washington's antiquated ambitions, but will also not fear calling-out the California Legislature for cheering-on high-speed rail, yet systematically working to inhibit the Authority's minuscule budgetary and staffing needs.
Again, we thank Mr. Morales for his commitment and leadership - not just during his time at the Authority, but in his extensive public service capacities, and wish him and his family all the best."
Greg Justice is Founder and Editor of TransportiCA.

Press release wars heating up campaigns
(AP) - Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota's Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, is "taking her marching orders from national liberals" as she mounts with "breathtaking hypocrisy" a "relentlessly negative campaign" of "endless photo-ops and false attacks" meant to cover her "growing credibility problem."
Her likely opponent, Republican Mark Kennedy, is "just another rubber stamp" and a "loyal servant" to President Bush, a "weak-kneed politician who is in the back pocket of Big Oil," who "spouts hot air" and is "about as independent as a used car dealer is honest."
None of the above invective comes from actual spoken quotes. Instead, it's the increasingly common attack fare in news releases from political operatives desperate to spin news coverage to their advantage.
"Outrageousness is part of the fun of our political process," said Wayne Fields, a political rhetoric expert who directs the American Culture Studies program at Washington University in St. Louis.
Outrageousness is part of the fun of our political process.
But, Fields said, as outrageousness becomes the default tone of politics, it threatens to drain the substance out of political debate.
"It lets you say certain things without an argument or without proof, because it's wrapped up in this snappy, clever approach. As long as people see that as the case, it's just going to get more outrageous."
Many of the releases imply the opposing candidate is barely fit for membership in the human race, much less an important job like senator or governor.
In a Maryland Democratic Party missive, Republican Gov. Bob Ehrlich is a "poor leader" with "no accomplishments" who is "owned" by the "big special interests."
In Missouri, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Claire McCaskill is "completely clueless."
To be more pithy, political operatives sprinkle their press releases with alliterative nicknames for an opponent's allegedly deficient character trait.
Thus Democrats have dubbed Kennedy "Makeover Mark" to paint the conservative, Bush-allied congressman as a shape-shifter now presenting himself as more centrist and independent for a statewide electorate.
In Tennessee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee launched a Web site mocking U.S. Senate candidate Harold Ford as "Fancy Ford" - accusing him of living "the good life" on "his campaign contributors' dime."
The people issuing the news releases defend them, saying it's their job to spread information in the most effective way possible to a largely tuned-out public.
"Our opponents need to be held accountable for the stuff they've done, and it's the job of the opposition to get that out there," said Jess McIntosh, spokeswoman for the Minnesota Democratic Party. "Yes, some of the one-liners can get silly, but there's such a wealth of information, so distilling it quickly so you know exactly what we're saying is a good thing."
McIntosh's GOP counterpart agrees.
"People have busy lives," said Republican Party spokesman Mark Drake. "You do need to be aggressive in trying to define what your guy stands for and why he or she is the better choice. In a high-speed age, you have to keep it clipped and short."
And when a political insult catches on, it can be devastating.
"Look at 'flip-flopper,"' said Tom Horner, a longtime Minnesota PR pro who admits to crafting his share of "purple prose" for Republican candidates. "That phrase defined John Kerry, and may have had as much as anything to do with why George Bush was re-elected."
Press releases give political warriors a forum for testing such nasty nicknames and character-defining putdowns, Horner said.
But another veteran of the sound-bite wars, Minneapolis-based adman Bill Hillsman, sees instead a growing shrillness and lack of creativity in the sniping.
"It's not about drawing more people into the system, it's about preaching to the choir and show how tough you are to your own people," said Hillsman, who helped elect Paul Wellstone and Jesse Ventura, and who now advises independent Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman. "It makes the candidates, the big-money people feel good - 'Oh, we gave as good as we got on that one.'"
Hillsman said it's a good thing most voters never see such press releases. In his opinion, people who are "normal," who are "reasonable," would look at such "inflammatory rhetoric" and find that "it's all pretty silly."

Viewers find a certain delight in the works of Rashid Rana. The Pakistani artist is primarily known for his style of stitching together thousands of digital images of deliberate provocation to form a single image of seeming innocuousness. Take for instance, his "Veil Series", where pixellated images of porn were placed mosaic-style to form images of women in burkhas. The delight, of course, is partly in discovering the deception afoot, which saddled with all the socio-political implications of porn and Islam and feminism, make for a titillating message.
It's something that the viewer is likely to "get" whether or not he's versed in current Pakistani politics, and such is their intrinsic appeal that the Lahore-based Rana has managed to remain both immensely popular and critically loved. Here, in Mumbai for his two-gallery show "Apposite/Opposite", the 44-year-old Rana lures the viewer in with the same sense of familiarity—we see his mosaic images, recognise the larger form (it's a horse!) or the smaller stich (it's a Caravaggio!)—but then having earned our trust, he proceeds to screw with us entirely.
We're subject to this, for instance, in "Anatomy Lessons Series 3", which is on display at Chemould Prescott Road gallery (the Chatterjee & Lal leg of the show will open later this week): art history students might recognise it as a detail from Michiel Jansz Van Miereveld's "Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Willem van der Meer" (everyone else, take a gander at the original here), which shows a naked male body, dissected by a doctor and his students. The work flickers gently on a flatscreen TV, its canvas made up of hundreds of moving images culled from CCTV footage, films and documentaries.
You can just about make out grainy scenes of violence, some of people in an arid landscape of no discernible geographic location, some Big Brother-ly shots of people on streets, doing apparently nothing more than walking. It's a weird mix of a kind of academic butchery and violence of a more insiduous kind, which through the placement of surveillance presupposes our nature to be bad.
Whatever you do, don't leave without spending some time with "Desperately Seeking Paradise II", a mirrored grid installation that from a certain viewpoint reveals itself to be a skyline. Rana says the buildings are an amalgam of various American and European city skylines that are in turn composed of thousands of images of houses in Lahore. It's the recognition of one kind of trope—the physical might of Western architecture and in turn its economy—layered on a trope of another kind—of something distinctly homegrown, situated in a distinctly Islamic context—that tugs at the conceit that it's the subcontinent that's always at the mercy of a Western lens.
In fact, it suggests quite the reverse, that we can't always be sure who falls under whom in the hierarchy of world order. It also confronts us with the possibility that even though Pakistan, and indeed India, might peg their future prospects on turning into the swanky first-world countries they aspire to become, they're still just specks, part of the same global mass of humanity

CAMBRIDGE — On June 25, the Heritage Museums and Gardens of Dorchester is pleased to host selected readings of John J. Creighton's poetry that speaks to the lives of watermen and farm laborers of the Eastern Shore. Very few people knew that John was a poet and many of his poems were published in American literary magazines such as "The Southern Review," "Shenandoah" and the "Shoremen, An Anthology of Eastern Shore Prose and Verse," just to name few.

USADA hands Ferrari, two others lifetime bans in U.S. Postal case
Three of the six individuals recently charged by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in connection with what the agency alleges was a widespread conspiracy dating from 1998 through 2010 have received lifetime bans. USADA handed down the sanctions Tuesday to Dr. Luis Garcia del Moral, Dr. Michele Ferrari and Jose "Pepe"…
Three of the six individuals recently charged by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in connection with what the agency alleges was a widespread conspiracy dating from 1998 through 2010 have received lifetime bans.
USADA handed down the sanctions Tuesday to Dr. Luis Garcia del Moral, Dr. Michele Ferrari and Jose "Pepe" Martí for activities including possession of, trafficking of, and administration and/or attempted administration of "prohibited substances and/or methods including EPO, blood transfusions and related equipment, testosterone, hGH, corticosteroids, and masking agents," and "assisting, encouraging, aiding, abetting, covering up and other complicity involving one or more anti-doping rule violations and/or attempted anti-doping rule violations."
The other three individuals accused by the agency — Lance Armstrong, Johan Bruyneel or Dr. Pedro Celaya — have requested arbitration or five-day extensions to respond the USADA's charges.
"The objective of USADA's investigation into the sport of cycling is to protect the rights of clean athletes by ridding sport of those in the system, whether coach, doctor, trainer, or manager who abuses their influence by encouraging, coercing or assisting athletes in cheating through the use of dangerous performance-enhancing drugs. When USADA has information about the existence of a sophisticated, far-reaching doping conspiracy, it is our duty under the established rules to conduct a thorough, fair investigation to uncover the truth," said USADA CEO Travis Tygart.
"Permanently banning these individuals from sport is a powerful statement that protects the current and next generation of athletes from their influence, and preserves the integrity of future competition."
The USADA press release outlined evidence against each of the three individuals receiving bans as follows:
"Dr. del Moral, of Valencia, Spain, was the team physician for the USPS Cycling Team from 1999 through 2003. Until recently Dr. del Moral was affiliated with a sports medicine clinic in Valencia, Spain. USADA's evidence is that after 2003, Dr. del Moral assisted individual cyclists, including a number of former USPS team members, with their doping. The evidence in Dr. del Moral's case demonstrated that from 2000 he was intimately involved in the prohibited method of blood transfusions which cyclists use to boost the number of circulating red blood cells to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and increase endurance. Dr. del Moral brought riders to his sports medicine clinic in Valencia, Spain where he withdrew blood for prohibited blood transfusions. Dr. del Moral also assisted with saline infusions in order to keep the rider's blood levels below threshold levels to avoid detection of their drug use. In addition to blood transfusions and saline infusions, Dr. del Moral administered banned performance- enhancing drugs including EPO, testosterone, corticosteroids and hGH to cyclists by providing these drugs to them, recommending the use of these drugs and directly injecting riders with these prohibited drugs.
" Dr. Ferrari, of Ferrara, Italy was a consulting doctor to numerous USPS and Discovery Channel Cycling Team riders during the period from at least 1999 through 2006. Since the 1990s to the present, Dr. Ferrari has been a consultant to numerous cyclists and several cycling teams. Dr. Ferrari was brought to several USPS training camps, including in the United States, where USPS team riders worked with him. Dr. Ferrari developed a distinctive mixture of testosterone and olive oil to be administered under the tongue to assist in recovery during races and training. This mixture was known among team members as the "oil." Dr. Ferrari also advised riders on the use of the banned oxygen enhancer erythropoietin ("EPO") with detailed instructions regarding clearance times, how the EPO drug test worked and how to avoid detection of the drug. Dr. Ferrari specifically advised riders to inject EPO intravenously in order to avoid the drug showing up in a urine drug test. Dr. Ferrari was present and assisted during instances of prohibited blood doping and EPO use by USPS team members. Dr. Ferrari developed detailed training schedules for riders which included coded symbols designating when EPO should be used and the amount of the drug to inject.
"Mr. Martí, also of Valencia, Spain, was a trainer for the USPS and Discovery Channel Cycling Teams during the period from 1999 through 2007 and thereafter worked for the Astana Cycling Team. Mr. Martí delivered performance-enhancing drugs, including EPO, testosterone, human growth hormone (hGH) and cortisone from Valencia, Spain to locations where the riders were living in Europe including Nice, France and Girona, Spain and at training camps and cycling races. Mr. Martí was also involved in assisting with injections of EPO, saline infusions for avoiding detection by drug testing and in transfusing blood to riders."
It is unclear at this point whether Armstrong, Bruyneel and Celaya have requested arbitration or an extension.
"The other respondents in this case have either asked for and been granted a five-day extension to complete their response, or have requested to move forward with an arbitration hearing where all evidence will be presented, witness testimony will be given under oath, and an independent group of arbitrators will ultimately decide the outcome of the case," read the statement. "USADA will continue to follow all of the established procedures that were approved by athletes, the U.S. Olympic Committee, and all Olympic sports organizations in compliance with federal law."
Armstrong on Monday filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Austin, Texas, requesting an injunction and restraining order against USADA. Judge Sam Sparks dismissed the suit hours later. Armstrong, Bruyneel and Celaya have until Saturday to respond to USADA's charges. If they fail to do so, they will also be subject to sanctions.

So here's how it went down.
I use a lot of stock photos when I blog, so I pay for a couple of different subscription services to ensure I have quality photos.
Last week, I did a blog piece about my son and an incident that left him in a meltdown. I needed a good stock photo of a boy being very upset, so I searched out "boy tantrum" expecting a shot like the one above.
There were a few of those.
But there were also these five in the search results, and they were so bizarre, I had to share them.
|He looks like he may be using illegal substances.
A lot of illegal substances.
2. Why is this man (again, not a boy) strangling an invisible person?
|Look at him. He's got crazy eyes.
3. This isn't a boy either. I am not complaining.
|Holy cow, has he got a lot of veins.
4. One more for the "not a boy" category. A badly-drawn cartoon of a middle-aged woman (she's wearing lipstick, so I'm making an assumption) enjoying a sandwich.
|Perhaps this was drawn by a boy having a tantrum

About the post.
1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men will develop cancer of some kind in their lifetime according to a recent study by Cancer Research UK.
Most of us have been directly or indirectly affected by the disease.
My family lost my Grandfather to cancer several years ago, and I personally lost someone, who I worked with for over ten years and was very close to, all of a sudden a few Christmases ago.
So I decided at the end of 2015 that each and every year we'd organise to sell AffiliateFix clothing, and in return, all the proceeds would go to help Cancer Research. You can read the full details about the sale in this blog post, but in short, we placed hoodies and t-shirts on sale for a limited two weeks in order to raise some money for charity.
We also added a little extra incentive to those who purchased by declaring that we'd donate a further $10 for each person we saw photographed in our clothing.
I partnered up with Teespring, as they have a partnership with Cancer Research UK and several other charities, in order to ensure that all proceeds went directly into the charities' pockets. If you want to know how you can set up a Teespring campaign and maybe raise some money for charity, you can check out this previous post.
We'd first and foremost like to thank each and every one of you who kindly donated and bought an item of clothing. As you can see below, both the EU and US campaign "tipped" and we managed to sell 20+ items of clothing.
I'd also like to give a special thank you to those of you who supported the campaign early and sent in your pictures. So a special thank you goes to:
- Elen, Alex and the whole AdsBridge team.
- My good friend Matt and the boys from WOWTrk
- Attilla and his team and a shout out to little Iva (the little girl)
- Our client and friend Alex from StoryTellingMedia
- EntrepreneurFix moderator William from AffiliatesMedia
Just to complete on my promise, below is a screenshot of my personal donation to Cancer Research this morning. I decided to change $'s into £'s and send a little more. You will also see a picture of my late Grandfather Dr. Stuart Brown whom I looked up to immensely and miss very much.
In total, we all managed to raise: £380
Thanks again, everyone. We plan on holding these fundraisers several times a year and hope we can raise even more money for charity and to help beat this horrible shitty disease.
If you want any information about Cancer Research UK, please check out this link.
If you'd like to make a one off donation, please do so here.
Thank you.

As world prices fall, Jamaica paying more cash upfront for PetroCaribe oil
Avia Collinder, Business Reporter
The dramatic fall in world crude prices has curtailed Jamaica's oil bill, but it also means that oil refinery Petrojam Limited has to pay a larger portion of the bill in cash.
Under the PetroCaribe arrangement with Venezuela, Jamaica is now paying for 50 per cent of oil imports upfront, up from 40 per cent, said Winston Watson, the group general manager for Petrojam's parent company, Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica.
Watson confirmed the shift to 50 per cent cash-50 per cent financing even while insisting Monday that "nothing has changed", but he declined to state the period when the increase took effect.
Petrojam has a 90-day credit facility for up to 23,500 barrels of oil per day with Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA), which itself is a 49 per cent minority owner of Petrojam through subsidiary PDVCaribe.
The balance of the refinery's needs are made up from cash purchases on the spot market. Petrojam can process up to 35,000 barrels per day.
The price that Jamaica pays for PetroCaribe oil has never been disclosed, but it has some association with world prices. Up to August, Jamaica's mineral fuels bill had fallen by US$48 million, or 3.3 per cent to about US$1.4 billion, according to Statin's most current trade data.
The PetroCaribe arrangement requires beneficiaries of the facility to pay for 40 per cent of the oil upfront when the price is above US$100 per barrel; 50 per cent when it falls within a range of US$80 to US$100 per barrel; 60 per cent at US$50 to US$80 per barrel.
On Jamaica's schedule, full payment kicks in
only if oil the oil price falls below US$15 per barrel. The delayed
portion of the payment is transferred to the PetroCaribe Development
Fund as a long-term loan repayable at one per cent over 25 years, and
the loan proceeds are used to fund development projects and budgetary
support for the government.
CEO of the PetroCaribe
Fund, Dr Wesley Hughes, also confirmed to Wednesday
Business that the flows to the fund had fallen by 10 per cent,
but said he would need a day to research when they began to
Regarding the impact of the reduced flows on
the fund, Hughes said: "We do not know how long this will last. We are
doing a budget and it has specific projections. If that changes we will
have to change. Less resources means we will have to make adjustments to
our plans and programmes."
Beneficiary countries are allowed to purchase a
total 185,000 barrels of oil per day under the current PetroCaribe
terms. But Venezuela is widely expected to adjust the terms of the
facility and cut quota supplies following a 40 per cent decline in the
price of oil since June.
Brent crude oil hit a fresh
five-year low of US$65 on Tuesday before rebounding to near US$67 a
barrel. PDVSA oil is reportedly selling at around US$63 per barrel, down
from US$99 in June.
Jamaica is supplied with 80 per
cent of its crude oil and refined petroleum product needs by
The total volume of crude processed by PCJ
subsidiary and state refinery Petrojam averages nine million barrels per
year, which it further refines to produce oil for power generation,
transportation and commercial use which includes LPG and
Oil accounts for 95 per cent of Venezuela's
earnings. Following OPEC's decision last month to keep member production
of oil unchanged at 30 million barrels per day, Venezuelan president
Nicolas Maduro is reportedly considering ways to raise money, including
plans to slash 20 per cent of 'unproductive'
Speaking through PCJ's communications
office, Watson said if there is a change in the agreement, new terms and
conditions may be attached to the credit facility.

have not heard of any changes, but we do buy oil from other suppliers
such as Mexico and Ecuador and we also buy on the spot market," the PCJ
boss said Monday.
Jamaica joined the Petro-Caribe
Accord in 2005 and since then it has racked up US$2.9 billion in debt to
Venezuela as of November 2014.
Energy Minister
Phillip Paulwell said that on balance the new payment schedule is good
for Jamaica since the country will be racking up less oil debt. He did
not address queries on whether the cash portion of the bill was expected
to climb to 60 per

Our editorial summarizes what we consider the main contribution of this publication:
In this special issue we offer an extensive exploration and conceptualization of the visual and material dimensions of education and learning, bringing together a cluster of emerging scholarly ventures that investigate how people create, explore, interpret, negotiate, adjust, contest, transform and envision learning environments. This edited collection of research papers shows the versatility of the growing field of schoolscape studies and the high potential of recent theoretical and methodological innovations to investigate the visual and material dimensions of education and learning. The studies share the view that premises designed for education as well as other spaces can equally serve as sites of teaching and learning. Among others, the papers ask what the environment offers and how images, multimodal texts and artifacts can be used to enhance (language) learning and communication. The empirical case studies apply a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches, bringing innovation into the generation, presentation and analysis of data from varying educational institutions and mundane settings covering geographical sites from Europe and North America.

CPD: Developing Exceptional History in Schools
Start date: All year round.
Who is this course for?
Heads and aspiring heads of history, primary history coordinators, secondary and primary history Quality Mark schools and subject leaders.
This course will help you to provide positive development to the history provision in your school. Whether you're looking for inspiration or reassurance, then this is the right professional development for you and your school.
Course overview
The Quality Mark (QM) programme for history has been an exciting undertaking and has highlighted wonderful examples of innovative, creative and rigorous design, planning, delivery, enrichment, communication, feedback, community work and so much more! Our QM assessors have felt so inspired by their collective experience that we have specifically designed a brand new CPD session to share some of great practice out there.
Of course, identifying great practice also comes out of experiencing less desirable practice, and given their wide ranging collective experience, our QM assessors have an extensive pool to draw from and share.
This course will bring together QM assessors and school staff to develop the skills needed to drive forward professional development and achievement to create outstanding history in your school. Delegates will be able to access and use the knowledge gained to develop exceptional provision in their school and apply for Quality Mark status if they wish.
This professional development course is ideal for those currently participating in the Quality Mark, aspiring towards the Quality Mark or equally for those just looking for guidance or reassurance. You do not have to complete the Quality Mark for history or aspire to complete the award to benefit from this course.
The course will cover:
Tailored to your needs, the course consists of 2 twilight professional development sessions, each lasting approximately 2 hours.
Session one: Highly structured and will be led by your course leader based upon the agreed focus.
Session two: A structured session that allows opportunities for discussion and reflection from the previous session. As well as providing opportunity to apply ideas and thinking to current or new projects.
What are the options?
Any sessions can be designed in liaison with the school/s according to needs, but an example of some of the sessions that could be offered follow below.
Option 1: Developing an aspect - an opportunity to delve into depth one or, at most, two aspects for development agreed with the school, eg. teaching and learning, curriculum, assessment, enrichment, progression, subject organisation and management. The session will unpick some of the meaning behind these by looking at specific examples of good and effective practice. It will also cover current issues such as adaptation to a new curriculum and changes to examinations.
Option 2: How the subject leader/head of department can enhance history in the school? Using case studies, this session will identify some of the key features Quality Mark assessors have found that could be developed by those responsible for the subject. It can examine many of the most impressive features of earlier visits comparing them with some of the aspects that have not impressed.
Option 3: Motivating history in the school - using examples from the Quality Mark, this session will examine some of the teaching, learning and methodology that have motivated pupils of different ages and abilities. Evidence will be used including pupil voice. The sessions will include some of the best examples of enrichment and consider how such activities have contributed to successful history in the school.
Option 4: Quality Mark Support and Preparation - an interactive guide to the QM where schools can understand and clarify aspects of the QM including the portfolio and the visit seeing examples of good document and the type of features that impressed assessors. The balance of the programme can be agreed with individual schools.
Option 5: Bespoke focus agreed with the school/s
Sessions are offered on a sliding scale depending upon the number of people attending the session and costs will also include the trainer's travel expenses. Sessions can be booked by individuals, departments, whole schools or groups of schools/federations. Half price rates are available for schools already registered for the Quality Mark programme.

text: Today a range of complexity in the local climate opened up a unique opportunity this morning. Overnight a bushfire was close by and it made bushwalking and camping in the local area risky. Eucalyptus forests in summer often are very dry and eucalyptus oil is actually flammable. Once a bushfire starts it can escalate quickly. However, the smoky background in the mixed strength of the light made for a very unique landscape photograph against the charred earth on top of Black Mountain.
