Latest Q poll: Clinton gains small lead over Trump
A new national poll of 1,064 likely voters shows women and nonwhite voters boosting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the latest Quinnipiac University poll.
The poll found Clinton with a 45 to 40 percent likely voter lead over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson received 6 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein receives 3 percent, according to the poll released Friday.
In a head-to-head matchup Clinton would receive 50 percent of the vote to Trump's 44 percent.
In a four-way contest, women back Clinton 53-33 percent and men back Trump 49-37 percent. White voters will vote for the Republican nominee 51-38 percent and nonwhite voters will vote for the Democratic nominee 63-18 percent.
The biggest shift from a Sept. 26 poll is the number of independent voters who go from 42-35 percent for Trump with 15 percent for Johnson to 46-32 percent for Clinton with 10 percent for Johnson.
"Post-debate, Hillary Clinton checks all the boxes," Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnpiac University Poll, said. "With her base of women and nonwhite voters now solidly behind her and independent voters moving into her column, Donald Trump gets a wake-up call. The Indies are leaving in droves."
The poll was conducted between Oct 5,-6 and has a 3 percent margin of error.

If your house is anything like mine, there are always socks around that have lost their match. Today, we're sharing a fun, creative, and stylish way to organize these lost socks until their mate is found. All you need for this project are Lost & Found Wall Quotes™ decal, a piece of wood (mine was 12″ x 16″), some paint, Mod Podge, scrapbook paper, and clothespins.
Gather your supplies, and get ready to begin….
Step 1: Paint your wood (if desired). I decided to Mod Podge some circles out of wrapping paper to the sign, if you'd like to do the same, cut out your circles (I used a 3/4″ circle punch), and place them on your wood. We'll first apply the decal to the wood, so begin by taking your decal and centering it on the frame. Tape the decal in place, and, using the tape as a hinge, flip up decal and peel off backing.
Step 2: Lay decal back down carefully and starting from the center, squeegee the vinyl decal firmly.
Step 3: Next, carefully peel back the transfer tape. To do this, start at a corner and peel the transfer tape off at a 180 degree angle-back and down rather than up and away. If necessary, use your fingers to press down on the vinyl as you peel back the tape.
Step 4: Mod Podge your circles (or whatever shape you desire) down onto your board.
Step 5: Let dry completely, and seal with one (or more) coats of Mod Podge.
Step 6: Place your clothespins on your board, and hot glue them into place.
Hang in your laundry room, and you're done!
Head over to Belvedere Designs to pick up this, or one of their many other, vinyl decals!

We now live in a post-Equifax world. When we look back at this time in history, I truly believe that is how we will measure cybersecurity regulations. How we approached cybersecurity pre-Equifax and how we approach cybersecurity post-Equifax. There is no point in denying that the cyber-world has fundamentally shifted. People who were paying little-to-no attention to cybersecurity are now running to their "tech guy" to find out what type of security their company employs. So what can we expect from this post-Equifax world, you may be asking? Simply (and yet there is nothing simple about it), more regulations.
On September 18, 2017, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo of New York directed the Department of Financial Services (DFS) to issue a new regulation that would make credit reporting agencies register and comply with New York's Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR Part 500). This regulation, which became effective on March 1, 2017, requires insurance companies, and other financial services institutions regulated by the DFS, to have a cybersecurity program designed to protect consumers' private data. The program must include a written policy or policies that are approved by the board or a senior officer, a Chief Information Security Officer to help protect data and systems, and controls and plans in place to help ensure the safety and soundness of those financial institutions. A covered entities must also begin reporting cybersecurity events to the DFS through the Department's online cybersecurity portal.
New York celebrates the fact that its Cybersecurity Regulation was a "first in the nation" type of regulation. It is not, however, the last. Shortly thereafter, and following in the footsteps of DFS, the Colorado Division of Securities adopted cybersecurity regulations applicable to broker-dealers, investment advisers and other fund managers who purchase securities or conduct business in the state. Colorado's regulation is more limited in scope that the New York Cybersecurity Regulation: it only applies to broker-dealers purchasing securities in the Colorado and investment advisors doing business in the state. Further, there is no requirements for third party vendors. Colorado also follows a reasonableness standard and applies that standard to the covered entities to determine if they are in compliance. Reasonableness includes, annual risk assessments, using secure email, including encryption and digital signatures for emails containing Confidential Personal Information, authentication of clients' email instructions and employee access to electronic communication, and disclosure to clients of the risks of using electronic communications.
Delaware is another state revamping its cyber-regulations. On August 17, 2017, Delaware enacted House Substitute 1 for House Bill 180, which affects businesses who suffer cybersecurity breaches. Those businesses will face far more stringent notification requirements than previously required. Until the bill goes into effect, businesses that experience a cybersecurity breach are required only to notify the affected Delaware citizens "without unreasonable delay." A standard which is fairly commonplace amongst cybersecurity notification laws. However, as of April 14, 2018, companies will need to provide notice within 60 days, except in limited circumstances.
In addition to these states, Texas, Vermont, and Illinois have also enacted new cybersecurity legislation. While some of this legislation was being considered and was pending before Equifax, I think it is safe to say that these laws are merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to protecting consumers. Thus far, the most stringent cybersecurity regulations have been in the areas of healthcare and the finance. However, what Equifax has shown is that siloing cybersecurity into only certain industries has left other industries — and, as a natural consequence, many individuals — more vulnerable and susceptible to cyber attacks.
As we sit here and ponder our lives post-Equifax the question on my mind is: what's the next breach? Cybersecurity effects all of us. Businesses are starting to wake-up to the fact that it is not only certain groups that need to be concerned. A single breach can cause a small business to go out of business within 6 months. And that is just from the financial strain of addressing the direct effects of the breach. The secondary effects, like loss of consumer/client confidence, can be just as devastating. It is not just consumers that are impacted. Our businesses, our election process, our infrastructure can and will be affected by this cyber intensive, technology-driven world. The sooner we start thinking about cybersecurity as a necessity rather than a luxury, the sooner we will all be a little safer and more secure.

Not My Dad's Defender – What Is Bit Rot Anyways
Bit Rot Intro
One of the last times I was with my dad, I brought home a copy of his favorite game "Defender". It wasn't the original arcade game for I didn't have that kind of money nor the means to bring home an arcade cabinet. It was an emulated version of the game on a game disc for a modern home video game system, "Midway Arcade Treasures" If my memory serves me.
He smiled and played it for a good while. I joked with him that he has lost his touch for in the 80's his high score was legit. He simply pointed at the controller and said: "This is not the same game".
That is the best way I can explain "Bit Rot".
Bit Rot is not a physical erosion of computer bits (the series of 1 and 0 that makes up all software, embedded systems, and smart devices) for bits can't decay. But rather the decay of software being usable or functional as it was originally created.
There are various factors that cause this phenomenon, such as Environment Change, Onceability, Dependency, and Unused Code. Absorbing Pixels LLC will mostly focus on Environment Change within our organization because that is where we, the consumers, can mitigate the decay. The other factors are mitigated by the software developers who create the software through sound development practices.
My Dad's Defender
Now let's go back to my dad's excuse for not getting anywhere near his highscore. Is he right? Is it really not the same game? Actually yea. It may look the same, it might sound the same but to expert Defender players, It doesn't play the same. Here is what is different
- Dad was playing on a modern TV. A TV which has a different frame rate and generates the picture screen differently than a CRT screen from those 80's arcade cabinet. Dad's Defender game was programmed and designed for the CRT.
- Dad was playing using a Gamecube controller. A controller which doesn't include a joystick and big arcade buttons he can quickly smash with his other hand.
- Dad was playing from a Nintendo GameCube disc. A disc which isn't a full circuit board like the one built and installed within the 80's cabinet.
Both games are Defender but to play actual Defender you need a circuit board, Joystick, arcade buttons, and a working CRT.
My Dad's Defender and those 80's arcade games are increasing undergoing Bit Rot every day, not because the software is decaying but rather environment is rapidly decaying. Ask yourself when was the last time you went to Best Buy and bought a CRT TV to fix an arcade cabinet screen and you get the idea of why Absorbing Pixels has been established.
To mitigate Bit Rot not only do we need to preserve the software but rather the environment that the software was designed and programmed for.
Absorbing Pixels aims to preserve all digital art and media and the ability for them to played or viewed in the original environment they were intended for.

I was talking to a couple of colleagues yesterday over coffee about teaching Public Relations and something occurred to me.
PR students are, in some cases, better experts on some areas of PR than their supervisors.
Public Relations is a relatively young discipline. Many people who practice PR have no formal education; they've acquired their expertise informally – usually through experience.
As a result, the people who lead PR departments or agencies frequently don't have a broad-based understanding of the profession. They may have come from hospitality with event-planning expertise, or from a news background (which gives them media relations expertise). While they have a very deep and nuanced understanding of those disciplines – they have relatively little or no awareness or education about some other areas of PR – which is a very broad field that encompasses many responsibilities, practices and tactics.
In my experience, this has proven to be true. I've worked in PR for over a decade and the majority of the leaders I've worked for fit this description. They have very strong skills in particular disciplines, but they invariably have blind spots as a result of how their knowledge was acquired. They may be experts on handling crises, but lack skills in measurement. Or they may excel at writing, but know very little about the legal concepts that apply to PR.
That broad base of knowledge is what the Public Relations Society of America's "Accredited in Public Relations" (APR) designation works to remedy – the gaps in the whole profession that may have been missed through one's career in the profession.
It can be intimidating to be an intern or an entry-level PR pro sitting at the table with leaders who have decades of experience on you. PR pros who are young to the practice should take confidence from the fact that in addition to the fresh perspective they can offer, they may also offer leaders knowledge they may not have.
Inspiring, no?
This window of opportunity likely won't be open forever though.
Public Relations is now a formal degree offered by an increasing number of colleges and universities, so eventually the majority of PR pros will have some formal education. I tried to track down the first college/university to offer a PR degree and found references to Boston University – but despite Google and leafing through a couple of PR textbooks I've not been able to locate a history of PR higher education (and if anyone knows the historical roots of formal education in PR – I'd love to hear about them).

Walter at the Wasatch Intermountain Fly Tying and Fly Fishing Expo
I will be tying flies at the Wasatch Fly Tying and Fly Fishing Expo in Sandy, UT on April 12 and 13. I will be demonstrating six flies during three of the show's sessions, eighteen overall. Here's my schedule:
Friday Morning: Spring Flies for the Livingston, Montana Area
I'll be covering the dries, nymphs, and streamers I'm using right now and will be using through mid-June on the Yellowstone, Paradise Valley Spring Creeks, and area private lakes. Flies will include the Extended Body Girdle Bug, Kreelex, Floss Worm, Peacock Clacka Caddis, Black Scleech, and Olive BLM Nymph.
Friday Afternoon: Attractor and Terrestrial Dry Flies for the Yellowstone River, Boulder River, and Yellowstone Park
From early July through August, between 50% and 90% of the fish my clients catch come on dry flies, with the precise percentage depending on where we're fishing and whether we're trying for a bunch of average-sized trout or a couple of big ones. The flies I'll be tying in this session are: Synth Double Wing, Olive Synth Stimmy, Pink Bob Hopper, Centered Parachute Bicolor Ant, and Pink Caddis Cripple
Saturday Afternoon: Top Fall Flies for the Yellowstone River and Yellowstone Park
Dries and nymphs for targeting numbers of trout in September and early October on the Yellowstone River will be covered, as well as nymphs for targeting pre-spawn brown trout in Yellowstone Park and the rainbows that follow them in October and early November. The flies I plan to tie are the Purple Hazy Cripple, Brindle Cripple, Peach Big Bob Hopper, Bead Hare & Copper, Y2K Egg, and Red Gussied Lightning Bug.
Sales and Discounts
In addition to tying flies, I'll be selling discounted copies of two of my books and offering discounted guided trips. Note: The trip discounts will be available to anyone who confirms a full-day booking from April 11 to April 14, 2019, for trips during the core season. I'm not going to divulge the precise discounts online. I will note that only one discounted trip will be available per day, since I can't afford to pay a competitive wage to contractor guides for the discounted rate I'll be offering. Curious, give me a call or send me an e-mail.

Excerpt: Baronial Order of the Magna Charta .... www.MagnaCharta.com: The Baronial Order of Magna Charta [BOMC] was founded in 1898 under the name of The Baronial Order of Runnemede during the flowering of scholarly and popular interest in the history and development of the Anglo-Saxon peoples which characterized the later decades of Queen Victoria's reign. The Magna Charta resulted from the peace made between King John of England and about sixty of his rebelling barons in 1215. After preliminary negotiations with the barons through the Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, as go-between, the King and his party met the barons on 15 June in a meadow known as Runnemede next to the Thames River. After several days of face-off discussions on the 19th the document language was agreed upon and the barons elected 25 of their number to be "Sureties", holding title to a few of the King's properties, including the Tower of London, to guarantee the King's compliance with the laws and liberties of the Magna Charta. Thus began the long legal process of putting limits on kingly (and hence, by later extension, governmental) authority and of granting explicit rights to the ruled. From the time of its issue, the Magna Charta became a symbol of freedom to the barons and people alike, and kings during succeeding centuries were expected to affirm it.

Businesswomen from Bradford are heading to Hong Kong as part of a Government-sponsored trade delegation.
Members of Forward Ladies, the influential not-for-profit women's business networking organisation, have embarked on the all-female trade mission to China with the backing of UK Trade and Investment (UKTI).
Among the delegates is Sandra Corcoran, co-owner of Bradford-based Pennine Cycles. She said: "We are looking seriously at exporting and will use the visit to Hong Kong to dip our toe in the water.
"The trip will also give us the opportunity to research the potential market for our high quality British hand-built products, especially in China, whose population has an increasing amount of spending power."

The service, using a Shima Seiki technology, lets you digitally simulate the final performance of the stitch, chosen after having defined its colour, type of yarn and processing. A hi-tech approach that finds a concrete example in the colour card of nature yarns "Cotton Wool" and "Wool Cot". If innovation is the mood of 2020, rationalization is instead the common thread of the collection for the next hot season. Tollegno 1900 has in fact developed a single Book dedicated to the iconic products of the "Classic", "Luxury", and "Performance" lines, first among them "Harmony 4.0", which owes its excellence to the 4 features "Total easy care", "Compact", "High Twist", and "Eco Idro". In addition to the "4 times the performance" variant, Harmony, offered in the "traditional J" 1/28 and "Idro" versions, will accompany other high-performance yarns like "Racing" and "Wooltech" and products of casual-smart inspiration – "Sixtywool", "Abarth", "Cooper", and "Pagoda" – that make use and enhance the natural qualities of Merino wool. Completing the Book are then "New Royal" (100% Ultrafine Merino), also available top wash, "Sultano" and "Delice" (Extrafine and silk), "Feeling" (Extrafine, silk and cashmere), and "Vicky" (Extrafine and viscose) which, thanks to their preciousness, have been the forerunners for the opening of new markets that are sensitive to high-standing products. Finally, the mix of linen and Extrafine Merino Wool gives body to "Flaxwool" with a completely renewed colour card (36). Colours that represent a constant research by the company as underlined by the Trends card in 42 shades combined with photographic images inspired by the street life by Paolo Mazzanti. Guideline in the development of the palette, of Urban Vision inspiration, is the absence of unique and defined references to seasons, which results in a series of neutral colours with sporadic hints of bright tints ranging from dirty whites to non-grey greys, from musky greens to vintage pinks, passing to the family of blues that prefer the shades of sky blue, turquoise, deep blue, and petroleum blue. The summer reference is instead entrusted to the colours of yellow and orange, yet never extremized. In the name of continuity, instead, the Colours card focuses on classic colours in stock service.

Hi everyone, we have a little bit of catching up to do! It's been a busy few weeks for the girls here at ASPR headquarters but of course, there have been some amazing events along the way…
Event galore!
On Tuesday, July 10th, courtesy of out our lovely client KISS Nails and Lashes, twenty of the best influencers on Instagram piled into the ASPR offices on Great Windmill Street to be glammed up ready for an adrenaline-filled evening.
Everyone was able to choose the most luscious KISS lashes to have applied professionally as well as gorgeous ImPRESS and Gel Fantasy nails. The bloggers, influencers and Instagrammers couldn't wait to go and show off their new nails and fluttery lashes.
Once the girls were preened to perfection they all piled into a party bus on Shaftesbury Avenue and were whisked away to the South Bank for the ultimate high-flying dining experience.
The prosecco flowed, and the music got everyone into such an excited mood for the adventure ahead.
Alex & Bianca from the ASPR team joined the influencers at the Dinner in the Sky and they were all lifted and suspended 100m from the ground to indulge in lots of delicious food and wine. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Once up in the clouds the girls chatted and enjoyed a decadent three-course meal of sea trout, roast lamb with asparagus and a gooey chocolate and strawberry desert.
Not only did the lovely girls breathe a sigh of relief when touching back down they walked away with a goody bag jam-packed with the latest colours, patterns and design of KISS Nails and a stash of KISS lashes including the brand new Fifth Avenue Lashes fit for any occasion.
Once the girl's feet were firmly back on the ground Bianca and Alex headed to the Berkley Hotel in Knightsbridge for Prêt-à-Portea on July 19. We invited some of the best makeup artists and nail technicians across the country to join us for the Kiss Talent Tea Party complete with champagne and the most delicious fashion inspired foodie delights.
The menu included Miu Miu vanilla bikini biscuits decorated with sunshine yellow royal icing, a Tom Ford stylish stiletto of hot pink royal icing upon a crumbly chocolate biscuit base and Ralph & Russo wafer cones filled with pineapple and kalamansi supreme.
Everyone enjoyed a well-deserved catch up in decadent Collins Room, the team introduced the latest and greatest styles of KISS Nails and Lashes and of course everyone who joined us went home with a bursting goodie bag complete with KISS Professional goodies for their kits.
We have a lot of exciting events and news to share with you in the future so watch this space,

Champion galloper Beauty Generation has improved since his breathtaking win in the Group One Hong Kong Mile, jockey Zac Purton believes.
The high praise came after Beauty Generation and Glorious Forever returned to the track on Tuesday morning, turning in impressive performances.
It was the pair's first hit-out since their respective Group One wins in the Longines Hong Kong International Races as they look to add to their feature-race tally in 2019.
Beauty Generation looks all but certain to race on in Hong Kong with plans to travel to Dubai likely to be pushed aside, while Glorious Forever will head towards the Group One Hong Kong Gold Cup (2,000m) in February.
After asserting himself as the world's best miler, jockey Zac Purton warned Beauty Generation was entering "scary territory" following his strong trial ahead of the Group One Stewards' Cup (1,600m) on January 20.
"I thought he ran really well, he just seems to be getting better," he said. "He strode out really well, worked up to the line under his own steam and had a nice little blowout. He pulled up really well, he's a very happy horse at the moment.
"It's like he's gotten stronger and a lot more confidence, he just seems to do it with ease and enjoys doing it."
Wow! Just wow! Beauty Generation demolishes them in the LONGINES Hong Kong Mile under @zpurton #HKIR #HKRacing pic.twitter.com/mMLq67eWWo— HKJC Racing (@HKJC_Racing) December 9, 2018
After wanting to run off the track in the straight earlier this season, Purton said Beauty Generation had not showed any signs of a repeat in his work to date.
"He went pretty straight today, which was good, we worked him in company last week and came up on the inside of a horse and he went very straight, the straightest he's gone," he said.
"Hopefully that might encourage him to continue to do that. I think he's improved since then, it's getting into scary territory really with how good he's starting to become."
Hong Kong Cup winner Glorious Forever was just as impressive in his 1,600m turf trial as trainer Frankie Lor Fu-chuen readies his star for a first-up run in the Group Three Centenary Vase (1,800m) before attacking the Gold Cup, with an eye towards the QE II Cup (2,000m) in April.
"He looked very fresh in the morning, that's why I just trialled him at the 1,600m. He was very sharp so I am very happy with that," he said.
Taken aback by the performance, jockey Silvestre de Sousa said he had not lost any of his customary speed that saw him break the hearts of his rivals in December's Hong Kong Cup.
"It was meant to be an easy trial but I felt he was going so easily that I had to just sit on him and let him stride," he said.
"He's a classy horse, You could see in that trial just now, he bounced out and that was after a very tough race last time. He took that race very well and you could see him out there, he looks even better."
Glorious Forever wins the brotherly battle with elder sibling Time Warp under Silvestre de Sousa and keeps rolling as Deirdre challenges to land the $HK28m Hong Kong Cup. Victory completes a sensational G1 double for Frankie Lor after Mr Stunning's Sprint success #HKracing #HKIR pic.twitter.com/BqWuXyPafl— HKJC Racing (@HKJC_Racing) December 9, 2018
With a number of doors opening overseas for Glorious Forever following his maiden Group One win, Lor said he would resist the temptation for now, wary not to lump the horse with too much work, too early.
"We could potentially travel with him but if you go to Dubai, it is too close, it is at the end of March and then you come back and only have three weeks," he said.
"When we're going to the QE II Cup, I don't want to go to Dubai because you don't know how the horse is going to come back, sometimes they don't come back well at all."

How I Turned My Trauma Into A Thriving Business After Major Brain Surgery
The first pic you see of me here is from November 2018, roughly 3 weeks after having brain surgery. It all started one morning in January of 2018. I flew from LA to San Jose en route to Santa Cruz for several meetings I had set for the day. I was driving on Highway 17 heading to Santa Cruz from the San Jose Airport. I was on the freeway for all of 20 minutes, and out of nowhere a car comes out from a residential area to the right of me, attempting to make a left turn onto the freeway where there was a concrete median divider — making it impossible to turn left. The car stops literally in the middle of the highway — in my lane! I was going over 60 mph. Beginning to slam on breaks, I attempted to jump in the right lane but there were cars coming, so I couldn't make it. At that moment I clenched hard because I knew I was gonna have to hit this car!

Vancouver City Council approves $200,000 in funding for 2018 mass bike rides
Drink and Draw - Weekly Drawing and Wine Tasting Workshops

Earlier this week, Vancouver City Council approved a $200,000 expenditure to help advance the city's biking culture through the hosting of mass bike ride events.
This will extend last year's inaugural Our City Ride and Bike The Night events into a second pilot year as both events received $250,000 in City funding in 2017.
The larger daytime Our City Ride was co-founded by Olympian and former IOC member Charmaine Crooks and organized by M1 Sports Management, which is also behind the Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix, while Bike The Night is organized by advocacy group HUB Cycling.
For the 2017 events, organizers of Our City Ride say their event attracted 2,500 cyclists throughout the 17-km route through downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park and 6,000 attendees for the festival held at David Lam Park while Bike The Night saw 3,500 cyclists for the nighttime illumination ride.
For this year, the events aim to have a combined ridership of 10,000 cyclists.
But the funding approval did not smoothly roll through City Council, which necessitated an hour-long debate with Non-Partisan Association (NPA) councillors questioning the relatively high expenditure.
City councillor George Affleck suggested that the events merge together to create a single event with a stronger attendance, but that idea was later shot down in a vote along party lines.
"What concerns me is that the amount of money is one of the larger grants we'd provide for events in the city… I think there is not enough room in the city for two bike events. I think we have an opportunity to have one great bike event," said Affleck.
"They are competing for sponsorship dollars, attendance, and interest, and I think it is counterintuitive, counterproductive, and personally makes no sense to me. I respect the hard work both organizations have done, but think it's time for them to work together and put together one fantastic feature event that will draw significant interest internationally."
Similar concerns were also given by city councillor Hector Bremner: "There are events that have hundreds of thousands of people that we fund a fraction of this. There are events that generate huge amounts of economic opportunity for the city, but the issue is about balancing context."
However, Vision Vancouver countered those assertions, with Mayor Gregor Robertson saying the continued funding levels are required to "keep the momentum going" past the infancy years of the events and city councillor Raymond Louie arguing that both rides offer distinct experiences and a range of riding opportunities should be provided.
Both events will happen in late-summer 2018; Our City Ride is scheduled for August 18 while Bike The Night is on September 16.

McDonald's Wants to Make a Huge Change to Its Drive-Thrus
Have you been waiting longer than usual at the McDonald's drive-thru lately? You're not alone.
How many times have you rolled into a McDonald's drive-thru thinking that you'll be out of there with a 2 for $5 meal in no time… only to find yourself in a long line of cars? It seems to be the same saga for hungry McDonald's lovers everywhere, which is why McDonald's is finally making a change. You'll soon be able to get that Big Mac (or one of the new Twix McFlurrys) a lot sooner.
Speedy drive-thrus, here we come!
According to a recent piece published on Food Business News, McDonald's will be making drive-thru service times a priority. Stephen J. Eastbrook, president and chief executive officer of McDonald's, said that there's been an increase in wait time over the past five years.
He plans on rolling out an effort to change that immediately. See what fast food chain has the fastest drive-thru—for now.
Drive-thru times have slowed down
Such a huge increase in wait time actually makes sense at McDonald's after launching their app. With so many promos (like $1 sandwiches and free fries) that came with downloading the app, it makes sense that people started to seriously use it. The app allows customers to preorder, pay and pick up their food. This is a very similar model to what popular chains like Starbucks and Dunkin' are doing. McDonald's also has a partnership with UberEats, allowing customers to order McDonald's for delivery. Talk about convenient!
However, this convenience comes at a price. The employees at McDonald's are busy preparing the food that was ordered online, which means more wait time for the customers actually showing up to the store.
The specific plan McDonald's has to solve long lines is still unknown, but if the CEO is talking about it, it sounds promising!

"We've totally hit the spot here in Memphis," said Ross. "I like being able to share my favorite wings and empowering the community with jobs at the same time."

As the Official Wings of the Memphis Tigers, Wingstop will offer specials for fans during the game, and free wings for a year for one lucky winner.
With a sole focus on cooked-to-order chicken, the Wingstop menu features traditional and boneless wings, chicken strips and Glider sandwiches – all sauced and tossed in 10 original flavors. Homemade side dishes include fresh seasoned fries, cut daily from Idaho potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad.
Wingstop Memphis is open from 11 a.m. to midnight daily. More information is available at Wingstop.com or Facebook.com/Wingstop.

Wingstop has experienced eight consecutive years of positive sales increases, was named a Top 10 Best Franchise Deal by QSR magazine, and has been voted 'best wings' in markets across the country. Troy Aikman, three-time Super Bowl champion and Hall of Fame quarterback, has served as the chain's national spokesman since 2003 and recently joined the Wingstop Board of Directors. Wingstop was acquired in 2010 by affiliates of Roark Capital Group, an Atlanta-based private equity firm that specializes in business and consumer service companies with attractive growth prospects and revenues ranging from $20 million to $1.0 billion.

Guide For School Dances Supports LGBTQI Students
High school is tough, but now at least there is this guide for school dances that supports LGBTQI students who might otherwise feel marginalized by traditions and attitudes of their communities. The guide was released by the Safe Schools Coalition Australia (SSCA), which is a government-funded group that works towards preventing bullying and promoting inclusivity for LGBTQI students in schools, and provides resources and training to over 450 Australian schools. The mission of the guide is as follows:
"School formals, deb balls and school dances can be an exciting time for senior students. For same sex attracted, intersex and gender diverse students however, participating in school events may not always bring the same level of excitement and in fact might be a source of anxiety or fear. This is a quick guide to the policy and practice that can help make your school event safe, inclusive and fun for all students."
Twenty-year-old Ellie Rogers, speaking to BuzzFeed News about being discriminated against by her school when she tried to bring a girl to her school formal as her date, said, "I know of a lot of people who didn't try [to bring a same-sex partner] just because of the ambiguity of their school's policy. Young people in my experience are really very chill, this is 100 percent a problem with the school and with the system."
Here are some of the rules of the SSCA guide that aim to combat discrimination and empower young LGBTQ people to feel welcome and comfortable at school dances:
1. Early Planning
"Making the event fun for everyone should be a part of the planning and discussion process."
2. Policy
In the planning process, it is the school district's responsibility to review dance policies and remove anything that might be discriminatory.
3. Dress Code
"Work to ensure the dress code is inclusive by allowing students to express their identity in whatever way makes them comfortable within reason."
4. Partners
"If students are permitted to bring someone to the event, make sure your policy explicitly states that all partners and friends of students are welcome, including partners or friends of the same sex or gender."
5. No Discrimination
"Students and staff should be aware that negative language, homophobic or transphobic bullying and bad behaviour in general will not be tolerated at the event, or in the lead up to the event."
6. Event Promotion
All event promotion should be inclusive of all students regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
7. Getting It Right On The Night
"Hold a meeting with the staff, chaperones and other adults supervising the event and ensure they are all aware of your event's policy around supporting gender diversity and sexual diversity. This group should also be given guidance on how to address any homophobic or transphobic behaviour that they may witness at the event."
School districts across the world, take note — we should all be following their lead.

GOLDEN TIMEKEEPERS – Two collections from Patek Philippe illustrate the brand's approach to classical refinement and how it embraces the spirit of adventure
What usually comes to mind when you hear the name "Patek Philippe"? "Classical" would be one adjective that would certainly pop up, along with "traditional" or "heritage." Yet, the storied Swiss brand actually has something for everyone, for every occasion: From dress watches that are subtly elegant but would still stand out in a black tie event to sportier timepieces to accompany the wearer on more adventurous outings—and still wouldn't look out of place in
said black tie affair.
Below, we delve into several novelties from the brand that beautifully illustrates how Patek Philippe explores both ends of the spectrum within its DNA.
Ebony and Gold
Patek Philippe's Golden Ellipse was first launched back in 1968. For its debut, the dress watch came with a yellow gold case and a shimmering blue-gold dial. A major update was introduced in 2008, for the collection's 40th anniversary, in the form of the Ref. 5738. This "Jumbo" model featured a platinum case measuring 34.5 by 39.5mm.
This brings us to 2018, which marks the Golden Ellipse's 50th birthday. For the watch's half-century mark, Patek Philippe introduces the Ref. 5738R-001 in rose gold. The warm hue ofthe case is then put in beautiful contrast against an ebony black sunburst dial which, in turn, helps accentuate the rose gold hour markers and hands. This color scheme continues all the way to the black alligator strap with its rose gold buckle. A black onyx cabochon set in the crown adds the finishing touch to the Golden Ellipse's harmony of color.
And speaking of harmony, Patek Philippe also offers—on request—a pair of matching cuff links with an ebony black sunburst inlay in a rose gold frame to match the watch's. Finally, while the appeal of the new Golden Ellipse lies mainly in its aesthetic qualities, it is just as much a mechanical masterpiece. Patek Philippe's caliber 240 self-winding movement is particularly notable for being ultra-thin, allowing for the use of a case that's only 5.9mm
thick. Naturally, this slim case helps the wearer maintain a streamlined silhouette while being dressed to the nines.
For the Flying Pair
A bit of trivia that might be unknown to even seasoned watch enthusiasts is that Patek Philippe has been making watches for aviators since way back in the 1930s. This part of the brand's heritage came to the forefront once again in 2015 with the launch of the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time. The Ref. 5524 was first introduced in a white gold case paired with a blue dial. The 2018 incarnation of the watch, the Ref. 5524R-001, comes in rose gold and features
a black dial with a brown gradation. As can be expected from a pilot's watch, the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time boasts superb legibility. This quality is then enhanced with applied, sculpted rose gold numerals with white luminous coatings. The broad, luminous batonstyle hands certainly help as well.
The Calatrava Pilot Travel Time puts a lot of emphasis on the travel part as well. or to be exact, the needs of the modern-day traveler, in this case with an easily adjustable second time zone display. Two pushers on the left-hand (at 8 and 10 o'clock) move the local-time hour hand clockwise and counterclockwise—without affecting the watch's rate of timekeeping. The pierced hour hand, meanwhile, keeps track of home time. Complementing this dual time
zone display are day/night indicators at 9 and 3 o'clock. When the wearer is at home, the two aforementioned hour hands are superposed. And as a final touch, a patented safety lock prevents accidental adjustment of local time.
But the story of the Ref. 5524R-001 Calatrava Pilot Travel Time doesn't end here, as Patek Philippe has also introduced a ladies version of the watch, the Ref. 7234R-001. It uses the same movement fitted into a smaller case (37.5mm compared to 42mm for the gent's version). Naturally, the two are perfect for couples looking for pair watches. Interestingly, there have been quite a few anecdotes of couples where the gentleman opted for the smaller and streamlined Ref. 7234 while the lady would then wear the Ref. 5524 as a statement piece. This just goes to
show Patek Philippe really has something for everyone and every occasion.

Three cryptocurrency traders arrested in Lusaka for allegedly laundering K28 million
THREE Directors of Heritage Coin Resources Limited have been arrested and jointly charged by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) for allegedly laundering K28 million.

Ministry of Finance launches media campaign to enhance financial inclusion during and post the COVID-19 Pandemic
THE Ministry of Finance has today launched an innovative multi-media campaign that is aimed at further enhancing financial inclusion in Zambia. The campaign, dubbed 'Better Finances for a Better Today and Tomorrow' follows Government's efforts to deepen financial inclusion in the country without leaving anyone behind. This is part of the implementation of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) which was launched in 2017.
For the campaign, the Ministry of Finance is working in partnership with cooperating partner Financial Sector Deepening Zambia (FSD Zambia) as well as other financial sector players comprising the Bankers Association of Zambia (BAZ), Pensions and Insurance Authority (PIA), Bank of Zambia (BOZ), Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The campaign follows the development of the Communication Strategy for the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (CSNFIS) which was designed to foster increased awareness of financial services, usage and benefits targeting vulnerable groups across the country.
Today, the context has changed drastically with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consumers and would-be consumers of financial products and services are even more vulnerable to the effects of a lack of affordable and quality financial services. Many have found their economic situations severely affected and are in need now, more than ever, of reliable and simple financial information as they look to survive in the current and post-pandemic period.
Commenting on the launch of the campaign, Minister of Finance Dr Bwalya Ng'andu said:
"Government recognised the need for a comprehensive National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) to accelerate progress toward an inclusive, stable, and competitive financial sector development in Zambia. The NFIS provides a roadmap to further accelerate our financial inclusion journey in Zambia.
Enhanced financial inclusion in various countries has been proven to contribute to wealth creation, economic growth, and sustainable development.
In light of this, Government is focused in putting up measures towards achieving an overall increase in financial inclusion (formal and informal) from 59 to 80 percent and an increase in formal financial inclusion from 38 to 70 percent by 2022 as set out in NFIS. The media campaign is one of the measures put in place by the Government to enhance financial inclusion during and post COVID-19 Pandemic".
Meanwhile, FSD Zambia CEO Betty Wilkinson said:
"FSD Zambia is most pleased to be supporting the Government in its efforts to increase financial inclusion. The NFIS enables access to sustainable and client-centric financial services for all families, particularly for women, smallholder farmers, youth, microenterprises, and other vulnerable persons. The broad range of communications about available services will enable households to enjoy an inclusive economy, access to basic services, and a sustainable future".
The media campaign is expected to run for an initial period of 3 months, during which intense multi-media activities have been planned. The communications mix will include but not be limited to radio (community radio stations) social media, newspaper and mix-use video content. The campaign will employ innovative approaches to reach vulnerable groups that are hardest hit by the effects of financial exclusion.
FSD Zambia Communications Manager, Eneyah Phiri said:
"This campaign comes at a defining movement in world history. In Zambia, many families and their businesses have been heavily harmed by the pandemic. At FSD Zambia, we are working to understand the challenges and help microenterprises and smaller businesses remain resilient during these difficult times. Our team is piloting interventions that address constraints to business such as access to working capital. We believe that an awareness campaign like this one will augment our efforts and those of the Government and others in the financial market on the road to economic recovery post pandemic."
In its Vision 2030, Zambia has set out an ambitious goal to become a prosperous middle-income nation by 2030. Further, Vision 2030 aims to create a new Zambia defined as a "strong and dynamic middle-income industrial nation that provides opportunities for improving the well-being of all, embodying values of socio-economic justice. It comprises three priority sectors:
- Economic growth and wealth creation
- Social investment and human development
- Creating an enabling environment for sustainable social economic development.
The achievement of these priorities is primarily dependent on the equitable distribution of income and ultimately, wealth creation in all corners of the economy, including those that are underserved, the vulnerable groups. The media campaign has been launched towards the achievement of this goal.
MultiChoice Group continues its support of global UN Pause campaign
AS the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic continues, MultiChoice Group (MCG) has reaffirmed its commitment to the United Nations' (UN's) efforts to conquer the virus that has wreaked havoc around the globe and will continue to support the global organisation's Pause campaign in celebration of UN Day on 24 October 2020.
Through its broadcast and digital platforms, MCG has been the official African media supporter of the Pause Campaign since its launch in June 2020. The campaign, which aims to reach one billion people by the end of December 2020, intends to prevent the spread of damaging misinformation about the pandemic and encourages people to only share trusted and accurate science-based social media content.
"As a pan-African organisation, we are proud to be able to reach a mass audience and use our reach into 19.5 million African households to raise awareness on key issues relevant to the continent," says Calvo Mawela, Chief Executive Officer: MultiChoice Group. "Supporting initiatives such as the Pause campaign as well as airing relevant and compelling educational and news content on our platforms aligns to our commitment to making an impact in the communities in which we operate."
MCG continues its support in phase two, which is set to roll-out from 21 October. As part of the second phase, students from the MultiChoice Talent Factory, the group's development initiative that identifies and upskills Africa's young storytellers, will create a 60-second advert encouraging viewers to #PledgetoPause before they share online or digital content.
On October 21, throughout the day, online influencers and global voices will make their own #PledgetoPause and call on their supporters to do the same.
"With Covid-19, the wrong information can kill. It is increasingly clear that we cannot successfully tackle the pandemic without also addressing online misinformation," said Melissa Fleming, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications. "With the Pause campaign, we are trying to recreate a new social norm about how we share information. Each one of us can help break the chain of misinformation by pausing before we share. Pledge to Pause today."
The consequences of the global pandemic have been vast and deep, and Covid-19 has again reminded us of the need for urgent and determined action to achieve the world's Sustainable Development Goals. The UN has collaborated with Project Everyone – a not-for-profit agency – to develop a documentary which puts the power of communications behind these global developmental goals, to accelerate progress towards a world where, within the next decade, extreme poverty has been eradicated, climate change is properly addressed, and injustice and inequality are unacceptable. As part of phase two, MCG will broadcast this thought-provoking internationally acclaimed documentary on its platforms.
"Through the transformative power of the media, and using our extensive platforms, we can envision the world we want to see in ten years' time and enable the key conversations that will drive behaviour change to achieve those goals," concludes Mawela.
World Bank gives $25 Million to Zambia with to help address COVID-19
THE World Bank has approved $25 million to support Zambia's response to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Of this amount, $20 million will come from the International Development Association's Crisis Response Window, while $5 million is grant funding from the Global Financing Facility. The funds will be channeled through the Zambia COVID-19 Emergency Response and Health Systems Preparedness Project.
The Zambia COVID-19 Emergency Response and Health Systems Preparedness Project will provide support to the Zambian government to prevent, control, detect and respond to the threat posed by COVID-19 and strengthen national systems for public health preparedness. The emergency funding will support disease surveillance and strengthen screening at points of entry, risk communication and community engagement, as well as strengthen governance and accountability in implementation of the national COVID-19 response plan. It will also support COVID-19 case management, infection prevention and control, and interventions to maintain essential health services.
"While Zambia has seen a reduction in new cases of COVID-19 in the last two months, it is important that prevention, detection and response measures are scaled up to prevent further spread of the disease," said Sahr Kpundeh, World Bank Country Manager for Zambia.
"Rapid response is crucial in addressing COVID-19 and to reduce its negative impact on health systems, social services and economic activities."
The project will be implemented nationwide and is expected to benefit the entire population of Zambia, asCOVID-19 poses a risk to everyone. The primary beneficiaries will be suspected and confirmed COVID19 cases, and populations at risk such as the elderly, people with co-morbidities, medical and emergency personnel, port of entry officials and truck drivers.
"Considering that many of the COVID-19 cases in Zambia have come from outside the country, the project will help strengthen screening at Zambia's entry points", said Rosemary Sunkutu, Senior Health Nutrition and Population Specialist and Task Team Leader of the project. "This component of the project is especially important given that Zambia is a landlocked country surrounded by eight countries, which predisposes the country to risks of importation of diseases from neighboring countries and beyond."
This funding is part of a broader package of support by the World Bank Group to help Zambia manage and responds to the COVID-19 crisis. The World Bank mobilized $2.72 million from existing health operations and financing mechanisms to support the Government's COVID-19 response. World Bank Group COVID-19 Response.

Ten years of talent was showcased last week as some members of the Archdiocesan Youth and Young Adult Leadership Teams celebrated their "Favourite Things." This Variety Night show, celebrating its 10th year... was a three hour extravaganza showcasing some of the favourite music, dance and comedy from Variety Night over the last 10 years.
It all began in 2008 when Michelle Braden and the St. Peters's youth group needed a way to help raise money to attend World Youth Day. In this year's Variety Night program it said, "We performed on a stage made out of wooden tables balanced on chairs that were zip-tied together... Yikes! The show was simply called 'Variety Night' consisting of 12 acts put together in 3 weeks. There was no theme, no spotlights, no program. We don't even remember what the acts were but there was a spirit of community and there was a spirit of working together to do something we were proud of. It gave us the opportunity to invite young people to join us and to work together for important causes. All things that continue today."
In 2011 Michelle Braden accepted the position of Youth Director for the Archdiocese of Regina. She said, "Variety Night is a great community builder and has been an entry point for young people to get involved in a community that then also offers them the opportunity to grow in faith. Two years ago Braden Kuntz joined Michelle in the Youth ministry office. Braden himself initially got involved with the Young Adult Leadership Team through Variety Night in 2011, when they needed a guitar player. Then after Variety Night, was comfortable with the community, so open to invitations for retreats, camps, etc. which eventually led him to a career in youth ministry.
The concept of the Variety show as a team builder and fundraiser has continued over the years. This year's show was put on in order to raise funds for a number of charities, both local and abroad and was presented by a spirited group of entertainers from the ranks of the Young Adult and High School Leadership teams who live in the Regina area plus a few extra performers when needed. (Members of the Youth and Young Adult teams who live in other parts of the archdiocese, participate in community-building/serving projects in their own areas).
On May 26, 27, 28 and 29 parents, parishioners, friends, young and old cheered for the performances of the amazingly talented and courageous young people. An accomplished orchestra accompanied the performers through a spoof on America's Got Talent, a tribute to decades past, award winning songs, music/dance from the movies, a musical/comedic road trip to Broadway, New York and Disneyland and a tribute to dynamic duos. There was something for everyone and everyone left with smiles on their face and humming their favourite tune.
Their efforts earned a profit of $13,000, that they will be donating to St. Joseph's Orphanage in Manilla, King's House Orphanage in Belize and locally…to the Western Canadian Association of Catholic Youth Ministers, Marian Center and Visitation House. Hats off for a job well done.

Google Launcher Starts Showing Up in Chrome New Tab Page
Google have added an additional launcher to the Chrome new tab page most developers builds across all desktop platforms.
It's not overly flashy. In fact, it's barely even noticeable. But it's designed to give users quick access to common Google services – Gmail, Maps, News, etc – straight from the new tab page. What it isn't however, is a replacement for the old web-app launcher; the pop-over only displays static links to Google sites.
If the launcher looks familiar then you may have read about a recent experiment by Google in which they replaced for the "dark bar" stripped across the Google.com homepage for a minimal grid-like launcher.

How to style your slouchy sweaters this winter
I'll make any excuse to break out a good old slouchy sweater.
Comfort goes hand-in-hand with style when it comes to throwing on that absolutely cozy, slouchy, over-sized sweater.
You know which ones I'm talking about — the ones you find yourself reaching for time and time (and time and time) again. I stumbled upon two favorites last week after finding this over-sized cardigan (o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d you guys) and was excited to find this one is on sale. I'm loving the neutral duo when pairing it with this slouchy cutie sweater underneath.
I dressed this outfit down with the cutest sneaks and all natural deets, but also have found myself pairing it over leggings and sweats to take it down to an even more casual level. More details below. Happy Monday, y'all! XOXO

Fall Forest Park Wedding
Today's real wedding was beautiful, simple, intimate, and fun! Caitlin and Joshua exchanged their vows in a beautiful Tennessee park for under $6K! We especially love their fall themed decor and DIY decorations. You will love this Fall Forest Part Wedding!
Xoxo, Jessica
Caitlin + Joshua
October 14th, 2017
Nashville, TN | Long Hunter State Park
What was your total budget? Please give a budget breakdown.
$5,500 total
$2000 photography
$1000 dress + alterations
$200 grooms attire
$800 food
$1000 venue
$500 flowers and decor
How did you meet?
We went to the same gym and Josh would always make sure he ended up on a machine next to me. After a couple months of seeing each other in passing at the gym, a mutual friend had a party we were both at. We started talking and exchanged phone numbers and Josh asked me on a date the next day.
What is your proposal story?
We were in Ketchikan, Alaska on a hike in the rainforest. We came to a spot where two rivers ran into one. Josh stopped there and told me the rivers reminded him of us and then got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. And of course, I said yes!!
Tell us about your wedding vision.
I really wanted a small outdoor wedding. Fall is my favorite time of year because of the beautiful colors. We decided to do it at Long Hunter State Park because there were lots of trees and a beautiful lake. The spot was very intimate too which was great for us.
Tell us about your attire choices.
I wore a mermaid style dress that was pretty simple with a sash around the waist. It was an outside wedding so I thought simple would go best. Josh wore a black suit with a tan vest that matched the groomsmen's vest. We wanted a casual feel so the groomsmen just wore the vests over white shirts with black pant and a burgundy tie that matched the bridesmaids' dresses. The bridesmaids all had the same dresses they all agreed they liked the uniform look. They all also preferred long dresses which made it easy. I wanted burgundy but let my sister and maid of honor choose the style. I wanted them in something they felt comfortable in.
What was the most important to you two while planning? Was there anything you chose to splurge on or skip?
Pictures were important!! That's where we put the biggest part of our budget. The pictures will be there forever so they were our big splurge. We did skip having a DJ or band and just had some speakers and a playlist made by Josh's brother-in-law because we like having music but aren't big dancers.
What were your favorite parts of the day?
Marrying my best friend!! Truly that was the best part. When we said our vows neither of us could stop smiling or crying it was like we were the only two people in the world.
Tell us about your wedding flowers.
We did them ourselves. Really it was mostly my amazing creative sister!
Tell us about your wedding cake.
The cake stand was awesome it was like a tree with different tiers. We were mostly after the taste for the cake so we did nothing bundt cake because it's so good! We also did a simple topper from Whole Foods.
What did you do for favors?
We did personalized Koozies which turned out great!
Describe any DIY, personal, or handmade details.
All of the table decorations were done by my mom and mother-in-law. We also set up straw bales with burlap for seating. And my dad set up and decorated the arch we got married under.
Do you have any advice for couples planning their weddings now?
Don't stress too much it will all come together and at the end of the day, the most important thing is you'll be married to your best friend!

Game Info
Information Center
[ Occupation related TIP ]
The battle with peculiar life that has been evolved beyond the normal evolutionary life cycle of known organism made the modern tactic system against human begins and against normal firearms useless. Human beings came to have a battle with other human beings that move the speed of more than tens and hundreds of KM per hour or with other living things that are much smaller than themselves. This naturally brought about peculiarity to the battle, and under this new paradigm, new tactics and instructions were to be required. In particular, it is noted that the tactics, including the close combat using primitive adjacent weapons such as the sword, and the assistance of combatants with the ability of human ESP and spiritual power, bore fruitful results. STRADOC came to create and distribute the instruction manual for the branch of peculiar life, the code name FM21-S66. The origin of spiritual power such as human ESP and the occult of various religions including shamanism have yet been clearly investigated, but its accomplishment of increasing soldiers' survival rate has been highly valued. Therefore, STRADOC selected the most efficient non-physical weapons and applied them to develop powdered small arms and other firearms.
- Definition and classification of FM21-S661 special branch -
It is the Knight branch that uses various kinds of swords, and is specialized in adjacent close combat. The branch is divided into two classes: the sword-man class that has an appropriate ability to both attack and to defend, and the blade-man class that is famous of enormous strength and destruction power. It is the branch that fights bravely at the front line by defending the colleagues, and the performance of the STR (strength) gives a great influence to fighting power. Many of skills they use are derived from the ancient military arts of famous Knights rather than modern close combat skills, which make the standardization difficult.
- Definition and classification of FM21-S662 special branch -
It is the branch that professionally deals with products of modern military skills including various guns and explosives. They are army who can freely use the tactical and strategic firearms developed for military operation against peculiar life, and in most cases, they are in charge of the brain of the party as they are accustomed to the traditional military system. Assistant firing from a remote distance and the installation of a mine in the expected infiltration route of the enemy are a good example of a gunman's role in the party, which increases a radius of operation several times. DEX has a great influence to the fighting power and accuracy.
- Definition and classification of FM21-S663 special branch -
It is a special branch that uses a healing power secretly initiated from various religions. Clerics are dedicated to medical treatment and assistance. At present, the branch is divided into recovery class and the blessing class. The recovery class can completely cure the party members incapable of fighting, and the blessing class can optimize the capability of the members and detect/foresee malicious skills of vampires. Their capabilities are not clearly defined at present, but the Cleric that has long been trained tends to display a miraculous power. In order to assist a long battle, they need to practice the INT.
