Michael Fennelly back as Shamrocks secure vital win
Ballyhale Shamrocks 3-17, James Stephens 2-13
Michael Fennelly played good game for Shamrocks
Michael Fennelly's lengthy lay off from a career threatening injury came to an end in Danesfort this afternoon as his return coincided with the Shamrocks taking their first win at their third attempt in the senior hurling league.
Midway through the half, Shamrocks hit for two goals from Adrian Mullen and Colin Fennelly and they looked comfortable playing into a strong breeze. They were 2-5 to 2-4 to the good after 25 minutes.
James Stephens rallied in injury time with David Walton shooting points and Tadhg O'Dwyer grabbing a goal to ensure the sides were level at the break, 1-8 to 2-5. A superb Luke Scanlon goal promised much for The Village, but when Mark Aylward shot a like score 20t minutes from time it gave the Shamrocks the edge and they always looked like winners.
SCORERS: Ballyhale Shamrocks - Colin Fennelly (1-5), Adrian Mullen (1-3), TJ Reid (0-5, 0-4 frees, 0-1 '65'), Mark Aylward (1-0), Eoin Reid (0-2), Richie Reid, Patrick Mullen (0-1 each). James Stephens - David Walton (0-7, 0-5 frees), Luke Scanlon (1-1), Tadhg O'Dwyer (1-0), Eoin Larkin, Jack McGrath (0-2 each), Matthew Ruth (0-1).
Referee: Pat Dunphy.

Remember the Real Housewives of Orange County cancer scam back in 2015 when Vicki Gunvalson's then-boyfriend Brooks Ayers admitted to fabricating medical documents about a non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis? The scandal led to the end of Gunvalson and Ayers' relationship. But even though she denied involvement in the hoax, it led to a plethora of problems between Gunvalson and the rest of her cast mates.
The OG of the OC has managed to repair the friendships broken by the scandal, but now she seemingly has her own heartbreak, because Ayers has moved on and gotten married before she did.
According to US Weekly, Ayers married his girlfriend of one year, Christy Lindeman, this past weekend in front of family and friends, and he says that he has never been happier.
Vicki Gunvalson's ex Brooks Ayers is officially off the market. https://t.co/Y6m3aGYReq
— E! News (@enews) March 26, 2018
Meanwhile, Gunvalson has moved on herself and has been in a relationship with retired homicide detective Steve Lodge since April 2016, and she says she is ready to tie the knot.
"I'm so ready for marriage, I'm a marriage girl," Gunvalson said last December. "I told him from the very beginning, if you don't want to get married, then don't waste your time with me because I love being married."
Gunvalson was previously married for twenty years to Donn Gunvalson, and they share two children, Briana Culberson and Michael Wolfsmith.
After the Ayers' cancer scam, Gunvalson said that he made a fool of her and she believed him. She added that she did learn a lot from him, and the relationship wasn't all bad, but it ended terribly.
It also caused a huge rift between Gunvalson and Shannon Beador, who for a long time remained steadfast in her belief that Gunvalson knew about Ayers' deception. However, at the end of last season, the ladies finally reconciled and ended their two-year long feud.
Is @vgunvalson leaving the OC?https://t.co/PxQZIFBNsj
— Bravotv (@Bravotv) March 24, 2018
As for her relationship with Lodge, Gunvalson says that her infamous "love tank" is full, and even though she isn't wearing a ring right now, they have a great, solid relationship.
Gunvalson also revealed that Lodge didn't even know what her "love tank" was since he didn't watch the Real Housewives of Orange County, and she found that funny and realized they had a lot to catch up on.
The 55-year-old says that life is ever-changing, and she doesn't know what tomorrow will bring. But, her relationship with Lodge has been amazing, and it has been fun integrating six kids and six grandkids.
Vicki Gunvalson returns on a new season of Real Housewives of Orange County later this spring on Bravo.

First-grade teachers deal with all kinds of scary stuff: pants-wetting, tantrums, parents. Helping a first-grader from halfway across the world—one who has suffered horrors her classmates can't imagine—is the even-scarier scenario that Scottish playwright Douglas Maxwell depicts in his new piece, The Promise. The solo drama, performed by Joanna Tope, starts out edifying—but, after tackling alcoholism, racism, and genital mutilation, its lessons get confused.
Maggie is a seasoned teacher with a drinking habit and a penchant for off-puttingly lewd remarks. Summoned from retirement to substitute-teach in a London school, she meets Rosie, a mute, six-year-old Somalian immigrant. Representatives of the local Somalian community have scheduled Rosie for a public exorcism after recess (anyone who won't talk must be harboring devils). Uncannily drawn to the young stranger, Maggie intervenes in the degrading ritual—only to learn that her assumptions about Rosie might be the most degrading thing of all.
If The Promise had stopped there, it might have been a thoughtful meditation on cultural relativism (Tope's energetic performance helps). But Maxwell crams in every possible trauma, dwelling on Maggie's guilt-soaked past and her booze-soaked present; Rosie ends up less like a character and more like a queasy symbol of abuse. Teetering between overly-PC and inadvertently offensive, the play, like Maggie, follows good intentions to murky results.

Kingston man drowns on canoe trip on Lake Superior
A Kingston, Ontario man on a canoe trip to Pukaskwa National Park on Lake Superior drowned Saturday.
Marathon OPP report two men were paddling along the shore of Lake Superior and entering the mouth of the White River when their canoe cap-sized on Saturday on Aug.10, 2013 around 1 p.m.
One man managed to get to shore, however the other man was swept away by the current. The man who made it to shore activated a SPOT responder which notified the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre out of Trenton, Ontario. A search and rescue aircraft attended the area of the White River and were able to locate the man approximately 500 meters off shore. A vessel from Pukaskwa National Park retrieved the man and immediately started CPR.
Officers from the Ontario Provincial Police Marathon detachment attended the park and assisted with revival attempts until Superior North EMS arrived. However the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man that drowned has been identified as Erhard Fenzl, 73.
Police do not suspect any foul play in this incident.

Steve Jobs revolutionized the music business, creating a new way for consumers to listen to music on the go, and buy songs.
Now newspapers and magazine publishers are crossing their fingers that Apple's new Tablet computer will breathe new life into their struggling business by allowing them to charge for digital content. With subscriptions and ad revenue foundering, a new sexy device could be just what it takes to make a digital subscription model viable.
Publishers are trying to get ready for Apple's big unveiling. The New York Times reportedly has a team at Apple's Cupertino California headquarters working on a large-screen version of its iPhone app. for the new device. Sports Illustrated is getting ahead of the game, already showcasing the digital future of its magazine with this pretty cool demo. Conde Nast is promoting the digital version of its GQ magazine, a ramped-up version of what it offers for the iPhone.
There's no doubt that video, interactivity, and a colorful, shiny touch screen could transform the magazine and newspaper business. Even though readers are used to getting content for free online, they're accustomed to paying for iPhone apps and music from iTunes, so it shouldn't be too hard for publishers to convert former subscribers of their traditional service to paying a bit -- probably less -- for the product on their tablet.
And then of course there's the role Apple will surely play as a disruptor to the e-book landscape. Barnes & Noble got a huge boost on rumors that Apple is in talks to put the e-tailer directly onto the tablet, which would deal a blow to Amazon . But now those rumors are dissipating and the stock is off the day's highs. If Apple's Tablet has easy access to books — which it should, considering the Kindle and Barnes & Noble applications on the iPhone-- then it could pose a real threat to Sony's e-Readers and Amazon's Kindle. The question of course is how much the Tablet costs — e-Readers now go for as little as $199.
And since the Tablet is expected to have such a substantial screen compared to the iPhone, the potential to watch movies and TV on the go could explode. We can expect Steve Jobs to try to expand his relationships with Hollywood; perhaps announcing some more content deals with media giants at the presser tomorrow.
And the more content that's digitally available online, the more piracy we're sure to see. But better for these companies to *try* to monetize their content online than wait until it's too late and the pirated free model becomes the de-facto option, as it did with the music industry.

Yokohama City
Yokohama Seaside
Yokohama Seaside
The most scenic portion of Tokyo Bay is not in Tokyo but in Yokohama City. From the commercial and shopping center of Yokohama City around Yokohama Station, it is a short train ride to the east to reach the seaside. This part of the city has been redeveloped over the last few decades with building developments like Minato Mirai 21, elevated walkways and improvements made to many parks.
A full day is recommended to see the full length which stretches from Minato Mirai 21 to the historic port area of Kannai and beyond to the old western residences quarter in the hills overlooking the bay. The Minato Mirai Line (subway) which follows along the water from Yokohama Station can be used to quickly move from area to area. Cheap 100 yen sightseeing buses are also available.
Minato Mirai 21 Area
Cosmo Amusement Park
The Cosmo Amusement Park is a decent sized amusement park to the east of Minato Mirai 21. It's best and most famous attraction is the 105 meter tall CosmoClock 21. This ferris wheel was the tallest in the world when it opened in 1989. It's probably still the world's biggest clock. Its nighttime illumination is spectacular.
Nippon Maru Boat Park
Next to the Yokohama Maritime Museum is a paddle boat lagoon called the Nippon Maru Boat Park. Go home saying you bravely paddled on Tokyo Bay.
Yokohama Landmark Tower
Yokohama Landmark Tower is the tallest habitable building in Japan (295.8 meters). Its elevators are the second fastest world and tourists can take a ride on them up to the observation floor. It was constructed as part of the Minato Mirai 21 waterfront redevelopment and was completed on July 14, 1993.
Yokohama Maritime Museum
Yokohama has a proud marine history as the site of one of the first ports to be opened to the outside world. Yokohama Maritime Museum is an excellent educational attraction for all ages. Japan's most famous marine training vessel, the Nippon Maru, is docked permanently outside under the Landmark Tower.
Yokohama Museum of Art
The Yokohama Museum of Art opened in 1989 and is located next to Minato Mirai Station.
Yokohama Rinkai Park
Yokohama Rinkai Park is west of Yokohama's conference center. It is mostly just a large grassy area,, but it has a nice promenade next to the ocean and the view is quite nice. It makes for an excellent place to relax out in the sun.
Queen's Square Yokohama
Queen's Square Yokohama is a complex of buildings with shopping malls and commercial space. The three towers have unique sloping roofs can be easily seen from many places to the east.
Warehouse District
Red Brick Warehouses
The red brick (renga in Japanese) warehouses beside the water in Yokohama are some of the earliest built to store trading goods. Two of the warehouses have been restored and a variety of small shops, an art gallery and other businesses are located in them.
World Porters
World Porters is a large shopping mall with a movie multiplex located to the west of the warehouses.
Seashore Promenade W->E
Osanbashi Pier (Ship Terminal)
The oldest pier in Yokohama, Osanbashi, was rebuilt from 1987 to 2002 to meet the demands of today's massive cruise ships and, in the process, the project created a architectural masterpiece. It's a bit of a hike, but one can freely walk along its sculpted roof and look out on one of the best harbor views in Japan. It is just as, if not more, pretty at night when the CosmoClock 21 lights up across the water.
Yamashita Park
Yamashita Park runs along the shore from east of Osanbashi Pier to the Marine Tower. Numerous statues and memorials are in the park.
Hikawa Maru
The Hikawa Maru crossed the Pacific between Yokohama and Seattle 248 times from 1930 to 1961. During the war, she served as a hospital ship before returning to route in 1953 and is the only surviving imperial passenger ship. The 163 meter Hikawa Maru is a symbol of Yokohama and is moored permanently on the east side of Yamashita Park.
Marine Tower
The "vertically challenged" Marine Tower's viewing platform may be just 100 meters above ground but its still the tallest lighthouse in the world. This attraction was one of the first of its kind in Japan when it was finished in 1961. The tower reopened in 2009.
Website: Yokohama Marine Tower
Yokohama Chinatown
Yokohama's Chinatown is the largest of the top three Chinatowns in Japan. Starting in 1859, with the opening of Yokohama Port, Chinese and other nationalities came to trade and live in the new foreigner settlement. On any holiday, the area is packed with tourists from all over Japan and the world.
Harbor View Park and Western Settlements
Harbor View Park
There is a nice viewpoint in Harbor View Park where you can see Yokohama harbor and the Yokohama Bay Bridge from above. Harbor View Park is located to the east of Yamashita Park. There is a steep slope that rises from beyond the expressway. Ruins of French buildings are located on this bluff. A number of museums are located to the north of the park.
Churches and Houses
Above the harbor to the east are numerous houses, buildings and chruches that were built by early western settlers. The noteworthy places are fairly spread out so it will take a fair ammount of time to wander around them.
One of the best attractions here is a place people are dying to get into. For Japanese people, the old foreigner cemetery is a historical curiosity and an odd sight indeed. For history buffs of all nationalities, studying graves gives you an intimate view on people's lives through history. Tours are offered and it is no longer possible to enter without a guide.
Getting There
The Minato Mirai Line Subway goes from Yokohama Station along the coast to Chinatown (Motomachi-Chukagai Station) with stops at all major attractions along the way.
JR Sakuragicho Station is located at the western end near Minato Mirai 21. The horizontal escalator cuts the walking time to less than 10 minutes between it and nearby attractions. Nearer to Chinatown is JR Ishikawacho Station.
Cheap 100 yen sightseeing buses run on a number of routes that follow along the water. A variety of different day passes can be bought for around or under 500 yen to travel around this area.
Yokohama is connected to Tokyo by numerous train lines. See the Yokohama City page for more details.

Gemstone beads vary widely in quality. Being a natural product they are reliant on what is dug out of the earth. Many of these stones are relatively soft in nature so don't lend themselves easily to being shaped. This makes the production of regular bead shapes problematic.
A comprehensive description and definition of what constitutes a gemstone can be found on Wikipedia. Briefly, a gemstone is a piece of mineral that has been cut and polished for use in jewellery.
Precious gemstones (diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire) are created from hard rocks which lend themselves best to cutting and shaping. The remainder are known as semi-precious gemstones.
Some semi-precious gemstones (amber, jet, pearl, coral) are not stones at all but are created from organic materials. They are regarded as gemstones as a result of their use in jewellery making.
Bead necklaces, especially in the case of pearls as well as some gemstones, are graded according to the matching sizes and colours of the individual beads. Not only are individual beads graded in their own right but they are also assessed as part of the necklace as a whole.
There is no universal grading system for semi-precious gemstones in the way that there is for diamonds for example. Sellers of beads adopt their own rating system so what is sold as AA grade by one seller may only qualify as A by another etc. Faceted beads are usually made of the better quality gemstones. Those of lower quality are made into chips and smaller irregular shapes.
I try to source regularly shaped beads for the necklaces I create but even so there may still be slight variations (0.5mm) in size and some gemstones vary quite markedly in colour. This is part of the nature of a gemstone bead.
My astrology necklaces are created to be affordable items of costume jewellery. At the same time, however, I want them to look attractive.
All the beaded necklaces rely on a difference in size between the 120 smaller beads which make up the background to the chart and the larger beads which represent the planets.
In the case of the necklaces made up of 4mm background beads, variations in colour are more acceptable and add interest to the necklace.
The gemstone beads used in the necklace to represent each of the planets were chosen with care. Just as each planet traditionally represents certain characteristics and influences so too gemstones have specific qualities and exert certain influences of their own.
When deciding which gemstone bead would be used to represent each individual planet, I carefully considered the qualities of each and tried to find one whose charateristics matched to some degree those of the planet in question. This wasn't possible in every case.
Where the symbolism of gemstone and planet didn't quite match up I matched them using other attributes such as the appearance of planet and bead.
The gemstone beads I chose to represent each planet are as follows:
The Amazonite was so called because green stones of a similar colour had been found in the Amazon River. It is doubtful, however, as to whether this stone has ever been found there.It is a form of feldspar which has been found in parts of Colorado and Virginia in the US, as well as in Madagascar, Brazil and parts of Russia.
The Amazonite is associated with helping in matters of communication. In particular it is said to help you tell the truth and to sort out difficult situations. Mercury too is associated with all forms of communication.
Aventurine is a form of quartz. It is found in India, Brazil, Russia and Tanzania among others.
This gemstone enhances decisiveness, creativity and a pioneering spirit. In astrology Uranus is also associated with freedom of spirit and a dislike of rules.
The Carnelian is a form of chalcedony which gets its red colour from the presence of iron oxides. It is found commonly in Brazil, India, Siberia and Germany.
As a gemstone, the Carnelian is relevant to thespians as it can be of assistance in drama and activities related to theatrical presentations. It also helps provide a stable atmosphere within the home.
It was chosen to represent Pluto for its link with sexuality and attraction. Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio which is also noted for sexual attraction and desires among other attributes.
This is yet another variety of quartz and comes mainly from Brazil.
The Citrine as a gemstone is associated with Jupiter. Just as Jupiter is astrologically a planet of good things, success and expansion, so too the Citrine is regarded as the bringer of health and prosperity.
The Garnet is a silicate mineral. It has been used in jewellery for hundreds of years. It can be found in other colours although red is by far the most common. The name "garnet" comes from the word for dark red in Middle English.
This gemstone revitalises and energises. In the necklace it represents Mars which is the ruler of the sign of Aries. Aries, regarded as the first sign of the zodiac, relates to drive and going forward.
Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock which has been used in jewellery for thousands of years. It is attractive due to its deep blue colour and is much prized. Most of it comes from Afghanistan and Pakistan although it is also found in Russia, Chile, Italy, the United States, Canada and Mongolia.
This stone is ground into powder to create ultramarine pigment - the source of the very valuable blue colour used in painting.
As a gemstone, Lapis Lazuli inspires creative expression. It also enhances serenity and self-acceptance. It was chosen to represent Neptune, named after the sea god, for its colour.
In astrology, however, Neptune is also the ruler of the water sign of Pisces and is associated with dreaming and creative ideas.
This stone is made up of two species of feldspar. It can be found in many countries including Armenia, Austria, Australia, Mexico, Madagascar and the United States.
The Moonstone has been used in jewellery since earliest times and has always been associated with the Moon. This made it a natural choice to represent the planet in the necklace.
The Peridot is a form of olivine and only occurs in green although the shade of green may vary. It is mined in several US states as well as several other countries including Australia, Brazil, China and Egypt.
The Peridot is said to have the power to provide a shield of protection around the body. it can help heal a bruised ego and inspires internal happiness. As such it was felt appropriate to select it to represent the planet known astrologically as the "wounded healer".
The Rock Crystal is a form of quartz. It was chosen to represent the Sun because it is strong and bright and makes a statement. In the birthchart the position of the Sun represents the person themselves.
Rose Quartz is exactly what its name implies - pink quartz. It is known as the "love stone" so is appropriate to represent the planet named after the goddess of love - Venus.
It is said to be able to remove negativity and bring calm and harmony again as well as engendering loving relationships.
This is a metamorphic rock. It is so-called because its colours resemble the eye of a tiger.
It was chosen to represent the planet Saturn mainly for its appearance which is similar to that of the planet itself as seen in photographs.

4.44An alien race invaded the Earth on June 6, 2128. At the midst of this war, many nations allied with the alien threat and the war nearly wiped out the rebelling humans of the planet. At the edge of mankind's survival, the United Nations Army launched its forces to eliminate the immediate stellar threats that loomed over Earth. General Seeker Carlean, commander and leader of the mission, risked and gave his life to destroy the immediate stellar threat. The battle was won though Earth lay in ruins. Perhaps mankind will live to see a few years of peace before the alien threat returns to wipe out their existence. At the immediate aftermath of the stellar battle, the fallen Seeker Carlean awakens and finds himself at aged 17, living the peaceful life he lived 16 years before he died. So begins a new game in the battle for humanity's survival. ---- Cover art by Jayps. http://www.behance.net/Jayps
4.58A young man with an extraordinary mind is off on an exciting adventure when he mysteriously wakes up in the body of a feeble slave-guy in a different, rich in quirks world. The main character, a selfish jerk, would use extreme means to achieve his goals. However, he never allows his base instincts to overrule his sense of decency. He always pays back both good and bad deeds. Will his (terrible/excellent) mentality help him make a fresh start? Will he get through misfortunes and hardships of the new world?

4.36All the Humans from Earth was suddenly transported into a new world called Celestial World. No one knew the reason why nor what the purpose was all about. All of the Humans were suddenly transported without any warnings or signs and was then forced to lived in a mysterious and unfamiliar new world. 50 years, the Humans lived in endless suffering and torments. They were all forced to run from one place to another or else they would be enslaved by other Foreign races that had long been living in the Celestial World. Fortunately, the Humans were finally able to slowly developed its strength and power in the Celestial World through the sacrifice of countless Humans after that 50 years span of time. However, it was mysteriously Fated not to last long as an unknown power has suddenly started doing everything to destroy the Humanity's Kingdoms and Empires. A young man by the name Leo Heart had its Fate suddenly rewritten by some unknown power to stop this unprecedented doom of the Humans after a red cube, that the Heart Noble Household had been keeping as a Family Heirloom from the very start of the Humans existence in the Celestial World, suddenly jumped up and embedded itself into his right palm. A world full of Mystery, which Magic and Mana had become every races foundation of existence. A young man that had lost its family for the Humans existence has its Fate unexpectedly rewritten after such encounter. But, would it be enough to stop this so called unprecedented doom? Would the Humans existence be saved by Leo from the unknown yet powerful existence? Or would the Humans sadly become nothing but a mere history in this new world?

4.68Nathaniel was in a coma for four years or at least that is what everyone thought. In reality he was trapped. Trapped in an endless dark world. That is until the freshly died soul of Marc, a CIA agent, came along and tried to take over his body. By an accident their souls merged and Nathaniel woke up with Marc's memories intact. This is the story of his life and what will become of it. Will he follow the path that was set for himself since his birth or will he forge his own way? Tuned in and find out.

Jay Riemman , disappointed in the oppressive reality of the 22nd century is given a chance to destroy the society of the rich and powerful when Rifts begin to appear on Earth. [This is my effort in creating a somewhat of a "villain" protagonist who is not supported by a super system designed for him nor an immense plot armor, but who survives by using logical thinking, relying on strong teammates, and using underhanded methods] [A lot of my inspiration comes from other novels that deal with the concept of portals to other worlds, but I am trying to make this work differentiate as much as possible by mixing various other concepts and some of my original ideas] [Oh this is already too long but closing, I need to emphasize that this novel is something I do for fun and every possible feedback will be very helpful] (The cover picture doesn't belong to me, if you are the artist that created it please message me or leave a comment if you want it removed)

What if the world you lived in wasn't real. You may ask "what would that make me" It is not to say the people are fake just that they are led to believe the world they live in is real and they are almost correct. It's just the world we live in only has the smallest amount of reality. Meaning there are worlds with higher amounts of reality. This is the Story of a boy who dies in a most ridiculous way that he sees through the world's reality by the sheer disbelief in the way he dies. He is then granted access to a higher reality and rewarded for being the first person to REALIZE. MC's powers are based on Reality and include: the ability to change it(based on level of mc) this includes things like time or space or anything based in reality. so basically if it exists it can be effected by MC the ability to see through it(MC can see through any illusion or unreal thing and can identify anything that is real through sight) the ability to break all things based on realism AKA destroy logic(this is intended to be a ultimate move, it can basically destroy any existence or modify the existing reality like changing the sky's color or creating something out of nothing or adding abilities. this ability will have heavy restrictions like cost or cooldown. All other skills will be based off or retrieved from above skills
What if Harry had His godfather? What if Harry grew up in a good household not restricted by damning blood magic?

In the year 2052, Hawke was a rising soldier in the ranks of the strongest unit in the Federation of Allied Nations. On a mission that was supposed to be safe, his unit was ambushed and a majority of the soldiers were abducted. He was tortured for years, until one day, fate lent its hand, allowing him to escape into the decrepit streets of the rogue nation where he was being held. His veins plucked, his blood drained, his body battered, he waited for death- either in the hands of his captors, or from the scythe of the Reaper who was definitely on his way. At the last second...he remembered being arrested along with all the other homeless people among whom he had found refuge. After that, there was only darkness...until he awakened in a place he could never have imagined he would find himself in. He was in the game that had taken the entire population of Earth by storm: World of Wonders, a VRMMORPG that promised realism the likes of which hadn't been seen before. Only...he had somehow turned into an NPC, and he found himself bound to live or die by the hands of the players who were flooding into the servers by the millions. How had this happened? Why were the NPCs almost all human, but being treated so inhumanely by the players? Why was he trapped, with no way out? Follow his journey as he finds the answers to these questions, and unveils harrowing mystery after mystery in the incredible World that he was now a part of. As they said in the adverts, one thing was for sure: "Enter the World of Wonders, and embark on an odyssey you shall never forget!"
Odagiri Rin is in love with a girl. He did everything to make that girl like him. But that girl did not cared even ones for him and even used him as she pleased until Rin confessed his love to her but never got an answer. One day he caught that girl talking with her friends. "Rin? I'm not planning on dating him but the only reason why I didn't reject him is because I can use him that way, it's more convenient and I already have a boyfriend so I'll just dump him if I don't have any used with him, haha." At that time he felt something awaken within him... That is the feeling of....anger and yearning for revenge... (She used me, played with my feelings, and then she will just throw me in the end without any compensation to what she did. I want revenge, I'll make her heart mine and then make her feel regret!)
4.61Vice was never loved. Not by the gods, not by his family, and most of all, not by the world. He looked different. There was nothing more to it. But this little detail led to an early life of pain, sorrow and terror. On that fateful day where he wanted to end it all, a flashing light blinded him as a meteor crashed from above. His whole life changed due to this one event, the day he was given another chance, the chance of magic. ________________________________________________ Book Cover from my released novel on Amazon. 7 chapter a wekk. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089DJS52J Support me by signing up to me mailing list: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/l9w1n6 If you would like to get in contact with me, drop me a message on instagram @mageofshadows, or follow for news.

4.47Cultivation ruled everything in this world. Humans and other species could sense the Qi of Heaven and Earth and break the barriers of mortality. They molded their mortal bodies through cultivation, gaining immense power and vitality. All to reach the realm of immortals. Billions strived from an early age to reach the Heavens and yet only a small part could cultivate. Cultivators, true gods among men and symbols of power and prestige, often treated common mortals as livestock or servants. As time passed and society adapted, a group of supreme beings enforced honor and justice. Cultivators no longer trampled mortals with ease, but they didn't always respect the rules. Absolute strength tore rules apart without effort, and clans and sects stood at the peak of power. With many worlds, countless territories, and beings, humans were often mistaken as the weakest species. Traveling between worlds was difficult, but the realms contained mysterious ways and arts. Ming Ren was born in the Bright Clan but deemed an untalented cultivator. However, his curiosity was unsurpassed under the heavens! Determined to uncover the path to the True Heavenly Dao and armed with an indomitable spirit and powerful companions, will he be able to surpass the gods and protect everything he cares about?

Joseph Murphy is one of Ireland's leading event riders. He recently taught a clinic in Southern Pines, NC.
Day 1 of the clinic was at Tall Wood farm in Vass, NC. The clinic took place in a big grass field with a bank complex and every kind of portable jump you can imagine.
Groups warmed up over canter cavalleti, and right away you had to adjust your horse's stride to ride through smoothly. Small fences followed, and Joseph kept building up the exercises so that they became progressively more technical. He incorporated the bank complex in several of the lines, offset verticals at extremely severe angles, and a variety of skinnies.
Joseph wants to see the rider make a difference, and builds courses that require thinking and adjusting. As long as you are safe, he isn't too concerned with how it looks, and you get a lot of positive feedback if you really ride.
Fences stayed pretty small, but the technicality was off the charts.
Rocky was behind the leg for some of the questions, and holding the line was so important that I was afraid to use the crop. Lesson learned that I need to get Rocky more responsive to the leg.
Day 2 was at Winter Book Farm in Southern Pines. Joseph took advantage of the many ditch options, and had us doing bending lines, corners, and all kinds of technical questions. We moved on to the water and jumped that several ways.
Joseph stressed getting the correct canter for what you were jumping, and keeping the horse in front of the leg. As the horse and rider answered the question correctly, things got progressively more difficult and in some cases the jumps got bigger.
Rocky was more forward on xc day, and I was even told we had too much canter a few times. We definitely gained confidence and I am looking forward to our next event.
Clinic organizer Erin Bovais is planning to have more clinics with Joseph.

Modelling of Active Distribution Grids for Stability Analysis
Doctoral thesis
MetadataShow full item record
- Institutt for elkraftteknikk [1538]
In the last years the share of distributed generation connected into distribution grids has increased considerably. As their number increases, distribution and transmission network operators are becoming aware on the risks DG can represent on the stable operation of national power systems. To cope with this, the grid code requirements are becoming more and more demanding in order to ensure the secure and reliable supply of energy to the end users. Early grid code requirements were asking Distributed Generation units to disconnect from the grid when disturbances occurred. This was sufficient because the DG penetration was not so high. Nowadays, when most of the European power systems must handle a large share of DG units, more complex and stringent requirements must be fulfilled by the DG units. By reviewing different grid codes this thesis, shows that the technical connection guidelines are varying from country to country. Moreover as the grid connection of DG units with power electronics interface become more widespread, new requirements have found their place in these grid codes. Some of the new capabilities which non−synchronous DG units have to handle during fault occurrence in the grid are: fault ride−through capabilities, reactive current injection or absorption, power oscillations damping and synthetic inertia. In Europe and North America, a regulatory harmonization approach is seen by the introduction of standards and grid codes for large interconnected power systems, for example the ENTSO−E grid code and the IEEE 1547 standard. In Norway investments in small scale hydro units and wind turbines are numerous and expected to increase also as a result of incentives as the green certificates market. Approximatively 98.5 % of the electricity production originates from large hydro power plants. But there is also a large potential for small scale hydro generation. As the distribution grids in the regions where all this potential lies, are in general an ageing infrastructure, the DSOs are concerned about the technical issues they will have to handle to integrate all DG units. The focus of this PhD work is to investigate the technical grid code requirements related to the integration of small scale hydro generators in the future Norwegian active distribution grids. To narrow the research of this work, two main research topics were chosen. I. The first was to investigate the Low Voltage−Fault Ride Through requirement and to identify potential shortcomings of it. Two specific topics were studied: 1. The adequacy of the external power systems modelling for assessing the LV−FRT capabilities of DG units 2. The impact of voltage phase angle variation on the LV−FRT capabilities of DG units II. The second research topic deals with the development of reduced order models of Active Distribution grids (ADG). The aim is to develop practical methods for establishing model equivalents of ADGs that can be applied by TSOs, when performing systems studies. Also here two specific research areas were chosen: 1. The development of dynamic equivalents of ADGs for rotor angle transient stability analysis 2. The development of dynamic equivalents of ADGs for rotor angle small signal stability analysis Within these research areas the PhD work contributes with understanding on how the dynamic equivalents for transient stability can be obtained for a test ADG. Moreover, it was studied how the characteristics of a disturbances impact the identification of coherent generators. For the case of small signal dynamic equivalents the work contributes to the slow coherency theory, related to the identification of slow coherent groups of generators when the modelling of synchronous generators are increased and when the excitation system is included. This research shows that for ADGs with large penetration of small scale hydro units, the oscillation modes similar with the inter−area modes as for TPSs are the inter−machines modes within ADGs. This is because of a good damping of these low frequency oscillation modes. The thesis shows that for ADGs coherency among the DG units some show up within different local plant modes. Linear analysis with simple models for generators fails to identify correctly the groups of coherent DGs as the groups which can be recognized by running a time domain analysis. A method is proposed which uses time domain decomposition of the state variables within inter−machines modes to determine the coherent groups. Having this method available, the computation of phase and magnitude from the time response for a certain oscillation mode can be done easily. For an ADG the complex Euclidean Distance can be then used to cluster the units in coherent groups. The proposed method is later used to obtain the parameters of equivalent groups of coherent generators. In the last part of this work this method is combined with a model parameter identification algorithm to determine the parameter of aggregated generators. The thesis can be summarised as in the following: 1. First, an overview of different national grid codes for DG integration is presented and some topics which were not covered in the LV−FRT requirement were identified and investigated. These topics are the inadequacy of external power system modeling and the absence of voltage phase angle variation. The study of these two research topics (the inadequacy of external power system modeling and the absence of voltage phase angle variation) are representing the main contributions of this PhD research to the LV−FRT requirement. 2. In the second part of the thesis practical methods for establishing model equivalents of ADGs were developed for the purpose of TPS studies. Dynamic equivalents for transient and small signal stability were considered. 2.1 When computing the dynamic equivalents for transient stability it was observed that they are dependent of the characteristics of a disturbance (e.g. location, duration and type. Although these equivalents are disturbance dependent, they provide a good basis for estimation of the Critical Clearing Time (CCT) as well as of the transient stability limits with respect to the original model. 2.2 For the case of dynamic equivalents for small signal stability, the classical method of slow coherency was studied. Further it was shown how the level of modeling accuracy of the synchronous generator and of the excitation system impacts the identification of slow coherent generators. It was shown that the use of linear analysis for simple models of synchronous generators fails to identify correctly the groups of coherent DGs as seen by running a small disturbance time domain analysis. To cope with this problem, a method is proposed which uses the time domain decomposition of state variables to determine the coherent groups and to obtain the parameters of equivalent generators.
