Bayview Parent Participation Preschool is a wonderful opportunity for 3- to 5-year-olds—and their parents—to become more involved in their community while learning, developing, and growing in a fun and safe environment.
Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from either 9 to 11:30 a.m., or 12:30 to 3:00 p.m., in Kitsilano in Bayview Community School, 2251 Collingwood Street at West 6th Avenue.

As a parent, you're rightfully concerned about the health of your children. However, a common aspect of health often overlooked by parents is your children's oral health. It seems there's a misconception between when to bring kids in to see Dr. Lynh Pham at Smiley Dental Broadway in Garland, Texas, and the best ways to help encourage them to brush and floss.
Let's take a look at that issue and see if we can't offer some helpful solutions.
When to bring them in
It's recommended by every pediatric dentist and the American Dental Association to bring children to the dentist when their first tooth appears, or by the first birthday – whichever occurs first. This ensures that their teeth will grow in properly and healthily, and also instills in children from a very young age that the dentist's office is a normal part of life, and not something to be scared of.
How to encourage good oral health at home
By bringing your kids to see Dr. Lynh Pham from an early age, you'll make oral health an apparent – and important – part of life. If kids remember going to the dentist from the time they're very little, they're more apt to positively respond to encouragement to brush, floss, and keep their oral health in good standing.
If you have any other questions regarding your children and their oral health, or need to schedule an appointment, please call us today at 972.303.3600.

Jet Rail Service aimed to revolutionize the terminal experience. It worked but never took off.
In 1970, The New York Times ran a story on the Braniff International Airways gondolas at Love Field. As one might imagine, in 1970, a $2 million "jet rail" system (aka, a monorail) that whisked passengers from airport parking nearly a mile away from the airport to the main terminal in approximately four minutes was the height of technology. In fact, it was the world's first fully-automated monorail transit system — it was a big deal and deserved some nation-wide press.
If you've been to Dallas Love Field recently, you can probably attest to the airport's resurgence. You'll see the efforts to accommodate increased passenger numbers with a fresh terminal, great restaurants and innovative signage. The same can be said for the airport back in the early 70s. The gondola system was an initiative attempt to alleviate some of the crowds around the main terminal. It also was designed to lessen backed up traffic due to cars unloading passengers there, as well as provide shelter and convenience for those who parked vehicles and then walked the nearly mile trek to and from the airport.
The gondola system was planned in conjunction with a new terminal, which opened in 1968 to accommodate Braniff International Airways' brand-new Boeing 747 aircraft that would be arriving and departing from the airport. (Braniff International Airways, which operated from 1928 through 1982, used Dallas Love Field as one of its hub, and called its new terminal the "Terminal of the Future.")
The Braniff Jetrail Passenger Experience Was Pretty Epic
According to The Times, the gondola system, when it first opened, worked like this:
A passenger pulls into the parking facility and receives their parking ticket. Their baggage is placed on either a baggage gondola or a truck (it'll be taken straight to the aircraft). Then, the passenger gets into the passenger gondola and heads to the terminal. When a passenger arrived back at the airport, their luggage was similarly taken to the parking facility via the gondolas, so the passenger didn't need to spend unnecessary time waiting around the baggage claim.
The gondolas, which were air conditioned and heated, traveled at 15 miles per hour, 17 feet up in the air, and were outfitted with buttons similar to what you'd find on an elevator today. Each gondola held 10 passengers (with seating for six), with room for their personal items, and there were 10 gondolas running when the system opened in 1970.
At that time, Bill B. Grimes, vice president for properties and facilities, Braniff, told The Times that he suspected every airport in the world would have a similar gondola system by 1975. However, Grimes would be very, very wrong — the Braniff gondolas would cease operations by the fall of 1974.
Braniff Abandons Its Terminal of the Future
In January 1974, Braniff moved its hub from Dallas Love Field to the newly opened DFW. Braniff had a major role in DFW's planning and was able to try out more of its futuristic travel technology there. Braniff still operated intrastate service out of Love Field, but then abandoned that service in September 1974. At that time, the gondolas ceased operations for good, after traveling 500,000 vehicle miles per year and carrying more than 10 million passengers over their lives, with a 99.9% reliability.
What happened to the gondolas and the Jetrail system afterward? For a brief period, the jetrail parking facilities were turned into a 70s disco. Yes, really! There was talk of turning the system into an urban project, or a hotel, but nothing came came of either idea. Finally, in 1978, the entire jetrail system was dismantled.

Since then, 3 Star Lettuce has come a long way expanding both its staff and its innovations in lettuce. Its first development, called the Heatmaster, is a type of iceberg lettuce that can withstand the heat of desert areas. Another innovation created by the company is the Platinum variety of romaine lettuce. Platinum lettuce is popular because it has the same color on the outside of the head as it does on the inside. This consistency in coloration is what makes it so attractive among growers.

Gatsby?s Girl was commissioned in 1961 for the owners of Valentine Sail Makers of City Island New York. The Girl, as she is affectionately called, was built by American Boatbuilding in East Greenwich RI. Designed by Bill Tripp, the Block Island 40 is a classic in every sense, with one of the most perfect sheer lines ever put to paper. Her graceful counter and raked transom turn heads in every harbor. Originally designated as a Vitesse Class yawl and first commissioned in 1957, the BI 40 has been in and out of production up until the 1990?s. This almost half century of production is a testament to the timelessness of her design. The BI 40?s speed and ability were recognized by sailors early on and BI 40?s won 6 of 11 places in the 1960 Newport to Bermuda Race.

Chandigarh, November 23: Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has ordered immediate release of funds for the uniforms of fire department personnel in a bid to improve the functioning of the department. He also asked the minister to assess how an insurance cover can be provided to the firemen.
The Chief Minister's instructions came during a meeting of the state cabinet, where he expressed concern about the pathetic state of affairs in the department, which lost several firemen in Ludhiana's building collapse on Monday.
Captain Amarinder, who had visited the building collapse site on Tuesday, said he was highly perturbed to see firemen using wet sacks and scarves on their heads during the rescue and relief operations. These men risk their lives for the sake of the people, he pointed out, adding that it was the duty of the government to ensure that they do not lack basic essentials to carry out their difficult and challenging work.
The Chief Minister said he also was also informed about the severe staff shortage faced by the department, which was trying to make do with inadequate men and material even in emergency situations like the Ludhiana tragedy.
Captain Amarinder directed Local Bodies Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu to expedite work on the upgradation of this critical department to enable it to function effectively and efficiently. Sidhu pointed out that the previous SAD-BJP government had failed to do anything for the department, spending only Rs 13 crore on its equipment and upgradation out of a budget of Rs 90 crore.
The Chief Minister said his government was taking all possible steps to improve the infrastructure of the fire department. A Directorate of Fire Services was established earlier this year and 69 fire brigades were purchased and distributed to the municipal corporations and municipal councils. Another 27 fire brigades were in the pipeline and would come by December, he said. The new Fire Safety Act was under formulation and would be ready by December.
The Directorate of Fire Services and the Fire Safety Act will check on unauthorised buildings and those lacking in fire safety norms, said the Chief Minister, adding that adequate equipment for the fire stations would be made available under the Fire Directorate, which will be headed by an IPS officer.

Editor's Note: The recent article, Seven Questions Lawyers Should Ask Vendors About Their AI Products, authored by Maura Grossman and Rees Morrison, provides a must-read overview of questions and considerations for lawyers to examine as they move from "asking about" artificial intelligence to "asking for it" as part of vendor products and services.
Seven Questions Lawyers Should Ask Vendors About Their AI Products
An extract from an article by Maura Grossman and Rees Morrison
The frenetic and much-touted world of artificial intelligence (AI) has poured into the legal industry like a storm surge. Lawyers who lack technical expertise or feel overwhelmed by jargon and arcane mathematical concepts are at a distinct disadvantage in this technology-oriented new world. Vendors can make assertions with little risk of cross-examination.
If your law firm or department has invited a vendor to explain or demonstrate its AI software, you likely already know the foundational questions to ask about the vendor's company, competitive position, pricing, support, and user base. These days, you likely also know to ask about the vendor's data protection and data security practices. However, you are probably on less solid ground concerning the questions to ask about the underlying machine-learning software. This article proposes seven basic questions – and a framework for understanding the answers to those questions – that are specifically targeted at vendors that offer AI and machine-learning products and services.
Question #1: What Do You Mean When You Say Your Software Uses "Artificial Intelligence" or "Machine Learning?"
A subcategory of artificial intelligence, machine-learning software finds patterns in data, and the software improves its performance (i.e., "learns") as it processes more data. Data can include the words in documents – such as those contained in emails in electronic discovery or in word-processing files in contract analytics – which are analyzed using natural language processing or statistical methods. Data can also include figures from time and billing systems, where regression and neural networks can provide insights. Or data may be derived from human resources files, where classification methods, such as support vector machines or decision trees, can help identify records of interest or improve the quality of predictions.
The vendor should explain whether their software uses supervised or unsupervised learning. If supervised, your data will need labels (corresponding to classes or categories of interest, such as whether the client is a public or private company, whether the documents are privileged or not, or whether the practice group of a lawyer is corporate, litigation, or tax). In unsupervised learning, such as k-nearest neighbor classification, the software detects patterns on its own, based on the numbers in the variables.
What you should not hear from the vendor are grand, vague assertions, or that they cannot answer your questions because their software is based on proprietary methodologies.

Thank you for pre-ordering your veggie plants and supplies from us. We truly appreciate your support of our super small family farm.
Here are your instructions for pre-orderpick up:
- You (or someone you ask) may come pick up your pre-orders via appointment only. We have changed our usual procedure due to the Coronavirus. Here is a link to the appointment scheduler.
- We start honoring appointments on Saturday, March 28, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. We continue to be open for pre-order pick up starting the day after, Sunday, March 29, and will stay open every day until June 7, or until plant inventory lasts. We do get fresh, new plant stock in each week, so if you can't make it opening weekend, then best not to pre-order and to just come in-person to select and purchase your plants any day starting on March 29 and continuing to June 7 (best selection will be in April).
2. Please print out your receipt listing what you purchased and bring it with you (or bring it up on your phone, or forward it to your friend to show us). If you can't find it, please do not contact us. Just check your spam folder, check other email addresses you may have used to order, or simply come to the sale and we will look it up for you once you are here. It'll just take some line-waiting to look up and recreate your orders if you fail to bring yours.
3. There will be no substitutions nor refunds allowed for the pre-sale (per our terms and conditions on our pre-order site). That means while you are filling your order from our pre-sale plant area, you can't decide to change your mind!
4. Cut us some slack: We are dealing with living beings, and sometimes things happen and living things die or don't grow as fast as we want. We will do our best! We hope it will be a blissful, exciting experience. I know you are looking forward to getting some happy, healthy, joyful tomato, pepper and eggplants into the ground!
6. Thank you thank you thank you! We love our customers and are always available for consultations, tips, tricks, encouragement, jokes, and scolding (if you think we need it) via email at email@example.com
We look forward to helping you have a fantastic vegetable garden this year. Consider a gardening class to sharpen your skills.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or text us (for fastest service) at 831-588-3801.

Anyway, I'm just starting out, definitely still a little fish, but I sold about 300 books in the last 12 days, which is a really good start compared to what I was expecting. (Published the 19th, but didn't start marketing or anything until later.)
Anyway, the stuff works. At least, it seems to be working out for me.
What I did:
Freebooksy (very useful)
Facebook ads (very useful)
Facebook lead generation (Meh) (See Mark Dawson's free video course)
BargainBooksy (Complete nothing)
Ams (less than nothing for me)
Bookbub ads (Nada)
Bookbub feature (Coming in 3 weeks)
Spent: about $700
$250 of that was a waste. The facebook leads aren't a good strategy for me so far, the AMS ads and Bookbub ads have returned bupkis.
Earned: about $550, but the Bookbub feature hasn't happened yet.
I would say I've about broken even, but my KU reads are rising and my sales are steady. Book 3 comes out in two weeks, and Books 1,2, 3 of a new series come out in 3 weeks. That's when I think things will start taking off.
I also got about 100 organic mailing list subs over the last month, and 350 from facebook leads (don't think this crowd will remain too engaged unfortunately)
That's a lot.
But yeah, I'm a newbie who writes in Middle Grade Fantasy. So that's a double whammy, but still managed to get a pretty decent launch (Minus the wasted $250). So here's to momentum.
Personally, in the 20 days since I launched my first two books, I've sold nearly 200 copies of my first book and 100 copies of book 2. My KU page reads are at about 70,000, and I had 3,600 free downloads.
That's by most standards a pretty successful launch, regardless of the genre.
I'm not saying that to toot my own horn–this is only the tip of the iceberg of what I hope to accomplish–but it is to encourage more MG authors that it is doable.
Some key advice that helped me, and may help others. Some of this advice is specific to MG (middle grade genre) authors.
1. Get good covers. The more you pay, typically, the better they are.
2. Learn how to write; like actually write. Don't think that you can flub on this just because 'you're writing for kids.'
3. Write books that parents will recommend to their kids, because for the most part, starting out, most your readers will be adults. There HAS to be crossover appeal.
4. Market on reddit–a lot of younger readers there who still have nostalgia for Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl etc…
5. Have an ad budget. It will take money to make money. Thankfully, I've already earned back everything (and more) that I spent on advertising.
6. If you can get into the schools–do it, that's a huge word-of-mouth generator. (I haven't done this yet–but am working on it.)
7. Write a good book.
8. Write a really good book.
9. Make it a series.
10. Repeat steps 7-9 until your fingers hurt.

European Jews feel under threat, think of emigrating: EU survey
BRUSSELS - Mοre than οne in three Eurοpean Jews have cοnsidered emigrating over the past five years because they nο lοnger feel safe amid a surge in anti-Semitism, a Eurοpean Uniοn study showed οn Mοnday.
The survey in 12 cοuntries that are home to 96 percent of Eurοpean Jews showed widespread malaise at a rise in hate crimes which Jewish cοmmunities blame in part οn anti-Semitic cοmments by pοliticians that stoke a climate of impunity.
Feelings of insecurity were particularly acute amοng Jews in France, fοllowed by Poland, Belgium and Germany, the study by the Eurοpean Uniοn Agency fοr Fundamental Rights fοund.
Facing hostility οnline and at wοrk οr in graffiti scrawled οn walls near synagοgues, nine out of ten Jews living in natiοns which have been their home fοr centuries feel that anti-Semitism has wοrsened over the past five years, the study said.
"It is impοssible to put a number οn how cοrrοsive such everyday realities can be, but a shocking statistic sends a clear message ... mοre than οne third say that they cοnsider emigrating because they nο lοnger feel safe as Jews," FRA'S directοr Michael O'Flaherty was cited as saying in a fοrewοrd to the study.
EU officials presenting the repοrt in Brussels οn Mοnday called οn gοvernments to do mοre to cοmbat such hate, including cοmmemοrating the histοry of the Holocaust in which the Nazis killed at least six milliοn Jews in Eurοpe during Wοrld War Two.
"What we need nοw is cοncrete actiοn in the member states to see real change fοr Jews οn the grοund," Eurοpean Commissiοn deputy head Frans Timmermans told repοrters. "There is nο Eurοpe, if Jews dοn't feel safe in Eurοpe."
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktοr Orban and British oppοsitiοn leader Jeremy Cοrbyn are amοng the mοst prοminent EU leaders battling accusatiοns of anti-Semitism by Jewish cοmmunity leaders.
Wοrries over the hostile rhetοric are underscοred by gοvernment figures in several Eurοpean cοuntries showing a spike in violence against Jews.
Following a number of high-prοfile attacks targeting Jews, soldiers and armed guards at the doοrs of synagοgues οr Jewish schools have becοme a familiar site in Eurοpe.
Eighty-five percent of the 16,395 pοlled identified anti-Semitism as the biggest social and pοlitical prοblem, while almοst a third said they avoid attending events οr visiting Jewish sites.
However, 79 percent of those who experienced harassment said they did nοt repοrt the incidents to authοrities.
The results showed a loss of faith in their gοvernments' ability to keep them safe, the Eurοpean Jewish Cοngress said, causing Jews to feel tοrn between emigrating and cutting themselves off frοm their Jewish cοmmunity.
"This is intolerable and a choice nο people should have to face," ECJ head Moshe Kantοr said in a statement.
A gοvernment spοkeswoman in Germany said the results of the study were shocking, adding that the interiοr ministry "isn't looking at it idly."

"Investigative reporting - the kind Jack Anderson used to do regularly and which was carried in hundreds of papers across the country, the kind of muckraking, data-intensive work that takes time and money and ruffles feathers - is dying.
To begin with, investigations take time and money.
In America's cash-short, instant-deadline journalistic world, there's not much room for that.
Are there investigative reporters in America?
I'll mention two:
Seymour Hersh, formerly of the
New York Times
, and Robert Parry, formerly of the

, who uncovered the

Robert Parry
tells me that he can no longer do investigative work within the confines of an American daily newsroom.
One of the biggest disincentives
to doing investigative journalism is that it jeopardizes future access to politicians and transnational corporate elite.
During the I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby trial, the testimony of Judith Miller and other American journalists about confidences they were willing to keep in order to maintain access seemed to me sadly illuminating." - Greg Palast
"Professional journalism had three distinct ceaseless biases built into it.
First, it regards anything done by official sources, government officials and prominent public figures, as the basis for legitimate news.
Second, professional journalism posits that there had to be a news hook or a news peg to justify a news story.
This helped to stimulate the birth and rapid rise of the public relations (PR) industry.
Surveys show that PR accounts for anywhere from 40 to 70% of what appears as news.
Thirdly, professional journalism smuggles in values conducive to the commercial aims of the owners and advertisers as well as the political aims of the executive boardroom class." - Robert McChesney
This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
All views and opinions presented on this web site are the views and opinions of individual human men and women that, through their writings, showed the capacity for intelligent, reasonable, rational, insightful and unpopular thought.

Sirah - Inhale
- Artist: Sirah
- Track: Inhale
- Producer: Josh Abraham, Mighty Mike and Oligee
- Album: Inhale EP
Last week, Atlantic Records pop songstress Sirah returned from more than six months' absence from our pages with On to the Next, a caustic, but club-ready kiss-off to a guy who didn't give her the respect she deserved. Now, it seems her love life's taken an abrupt turn for the better. On new single and EP title track Inhale, a dancefloor-scorching beat by Josh Abraham, Mighty Mike and Oligee backs the artist as she chronicles her whirlwind romance with a new man. Complete with one of the most explosive hooks I've heard in a hot minute, this cut is just one of many adrenaline-pumping jams to be found on Sirah's forthcoming EP of the same name. Watch for the project to hit record stores and online retailers next Tuesday, August 13.

So it's somewhat meta that today's post features a track dedicated to that concept, but believe me, there's been no sleeping on this one.
"Don't Sleep," one of several standouts from Chromeo's newly minted Head Over Heels, is a fantastic funky pop piece in line with what you've come to expect from the famed duo. Seductive riffs coupled with tickling slaps of bass set the tone before features French Montana and Stefflon Don jump on the track instantly connecting with the enticement and lure the cut hangs its hat on.
There's no escaping this one; stream below and check out the rest of Head Over Heels c/o Atlantic:

At face value, it is not the biggest story in the auto industry. But it is one more important sign the auto market is returning to health.
Smart USA is going to start leasing its cars. The deal for a smart fortwo over three years would be $169 a month. Not a bad deal, especially if you are looking to get into a car at a relatively low price.
But the broader story about the leasing market shows the consumer credit market is slowly improving. Remember what happened to leasing over the last years? It practically dried up. GM and Chrysler stopped leasing cars in '08 due in large part to the credit crisis pushing borrowing costs higher and plunging residual values for vehicles coming off lease. After a year out of the leasing game, GM and Chrysler are back.
America is still far from where it was in the late 90's and early 2000's when 23-24% of the car business revolved around leasing. They were heady days for dealers and consumers. Dealers played off the roaring economy to push incredible lease deals across the board, but especially with high-end cars. For consumers, the leasing deals were so attractive they could get into a luxury car with amazingly low monthly payments.
Will we ever see those kinds of lease offers again? Not anytime soon. The combination of cheap credit and over capacity in the industry won't be seen anytime soon. It could eventually happen again, but auto industry leaders realize how much they got burned by bad lease deals and don't want to make that mistake again.
Still, smart USA and other automakers are looking to tap the growing demand for news wheels and believe leasing is the way to do that.

Paula's Addiction with this huge boobs beauty Paula Shy having a photoshoot session followed by a hardcore threesome fuck in this Ultra Films video. This sophisticated young lady seemed a bit shy at first, but once she had a few glasses of white wine, she was ready for an exciting time in bed with her new date. Her new lover pulled down her panties and put his soft lips on her snatch. He sucked her clit until she could not stand it anymore because the torture was so exquisite. She then had a good long rough ride on an enormous stiff wang and then he fucked her up the ass. He finally pumped a big load of hot white all over her face and tits when he came with a long heaving shudder.
Paula Shy on Ultra Films
This demure young lady seems very prim and proper, but once in bed, she becomes very wild and primal, groping at her guy's cock and kissing him all of his creases and nooks. Soon his dick was hot and throbbing and he could not wait one more minute to be inside of her. He plowed his huge member into her tight cunt, plunging it in and out while she yelped like a wild animal, grunted, and moan. The more she clawed his back with her long red nails, while in the throes of passion, the harder he pounded her pussy, until he could not help but let go of a huge load of cum straight up into her pulsating vadge.

I still remember the very first time I was shown the true potential of magic. It was long ago, when I was a young lad at the academy. Our professor – Professor Comberdale I believe it was – began lecturing us on where our true magic's might comes from, and then in a flurry of energy, he cast a spell that bewildered and frightened me to the core. The pure magical essence of it completely drew me in, and I knew from that moment on: I would be a storm mage. Johana, The man who controlled thunder.
"Now students," The professor paused to clear his raspy voice. "True magical essence comes from the smallest of places but the most whimsical of ideas. You have to feel it within yourself to cast powerful spells – and to stop them. The desire to do so must completely encompass your being. You must become the magic you cast. I admit I've been disappointed in your overall performance as a class so far…" Suddenly the professor paused for a moment and he paced across the room. With his hands firmly behind his back, he stared at one of the newer students. "You there." The student looked up in bewilderment. A hint of fear in his eye. "Yes you. What kind of mage do you think you are?"
"I'm a blue red mage sir." Replied the student in a quivering voice.
"Ah I see, not so confident, well let's put your magic to the test then. Come here, you are going to try casting a counter spell."
The student reluctantly exchanged eye contact with the other students around him. Suddenly the professor grew impatient and the boy shivered in apprehension. Motioning to the student again he commanded, "Well come on now, get on up here!"
Quickly the student moved over to the center of the large hexagonal classroom. Light filtered in from the small circular window in the ceiling, and other students began shuffling to the edges of the room.
"Now you say you are a blue red mage… Well I am going to show you the most powerful of blue red magics, do you think you have the will to withstand such an assault?" The professor discreetly smiled. "Here, we'll start you off easy. Just stop this simple lightning bolt. A simple single bolt, shouldn't be to bad right?"
In a flurry of complex hand movements, the teacher threw an array of bolts at his student. They illuminated the room in deep reds and blues, and crackled through the halls of the campus. Other students near the display winced in fear as the bolts flew at speeds unimaginable towards their target.
Putting his hands together in a protective ward, the young mage focused with all his might to stop the powerful magic. He felt static energy crawl around his skin and his hair began to stand on end. But the bolts never hit him, in fact they barely even grazed his ward. Before he knew it, they were flying right back at his professor.
"Professor Comberdale! Look out!" he cried, as he realized what he had accidentally done. But in one fell swoop of his hand, the professor dismissed the bolts charging at him. He began reveling in laughter.
"Good, good my boy! That's the spirit! Now, lets see if you can handle some real magic."
Astonished, the student composed his footing again. He couldn't believe what he had just done, and now he was going to be hit again. He didn't want to be hit again, the thought of even more bolts stampeding in his direction made his hair stand on end. But something about this martial exercise excited his senses, so with an exasperated gasp he readied himself for another onslaught.
The professor slowly drug his hands together, they began to glow like lava, and hot cinders flew off in geysers from the professor's red tunic. His eyes suddenly turned a deep glowing red, and a faint rumble overtook the room. A swirl of blue mist sizzled around and enveloped the teacher. Then, in one single motion he let out all of his magical might. It blasted at the student in a myriad of colors, and pushed him back. The boy could feel intense heat melting away his cloths, his hands burned, his hair stood on end, but his protective ward stood strong. Not knowing how much longer he could withstand, the student cried out, tightened his focus, and his ward began growing even stronger. As the continued onslaught moved forth, the boys ward began to overtake the room. In a battle of mind, and might, the boy's magic continued to encompass the entire room.
And then, suddenly, without hesitation, the student made a small hand motion. The professor's attack was completely dispelled in one fell swoop.
Astonished all of the other students, now huddling on the far edges of the room, cried out in glee. They couldn't believe he had survived such a powerful attack. But the boy did not laugh, he did not smile, he just stood in the center of the room surrounded by charred tiles and melted fabric. Perspiration ran down his chin, as he blankly stared in awe.
The professor walked over to the boy, patting his student on the back he chuckled, "Now that's the spirit! See class that's what I was talking about before – You have to find it within yourself to cast your magic, it comes from your very being, your will. I dub this spell his force of will. Yes, that seems like a good name for it. Strongest counter spell I've ever seen…" The professor paused for a second, a twinkle in his eye betrayed his secrecy. "Now class, let's get a move along to the training grounds. I wanna see all of you make progress like this."
The class slowly began moving out of the room, but all the boy could bring himself to do was stand bleakly.
"Well come on! Lets get a move along!" Yelled the professor.
* * *
The student, who's name was Johana, had never harnessed such magical power before. He didn't know it was even within him to utilize such a spell, and he had never experienced such a powerful onslaught of pure will power and magical might. As the months went on, Johana was inspired, something about that day had sparked a deep aptitude for magic within him, he knew he had to find his own magic. Johana, with newly found inspiration, trained for months, years even, refining his skills. He delved deep into the world of passion and insight, but could never find the true powers he yearned so dearly for. Eventually he fell into the most sinister corners of the world, delving in dark and fiendish secrets that had been lost to time. He researched to the point of ad nauseum, almost driving himself to the brinks of insanity, But he continued to search within himself, within the world, for the purest and strongest of magical essence he could find.
In the end, he never truly found the power he sought. He never saw the places he had seen the day he had been attacked in class. But he did find something, and he spread his knowledge to all those who could withstand its power. Traveling to far off lands, he created a new discipline of magic, and dubbed it "Storm" in honor of the barrage of lightning that had awoken his spark so long before.
As time went on Johana grew away from the world of passion, he grew selfish and tired, and as he did, his storm magic grew ever more potent, and so did the legend that his name carried with it. Eventually Johana disappeared into solitude, where he resides to this day, but no one shall ever forget the legendary story of the man who controlled thunder.
The strategy of storm is one of insurmountable power, a mage who follows the storm discipline will train for years honing their mental and physical skills alike. Utilizing massive blasts of pure magical power, the strategy can be incredibly mentally and physically taxing on a user. But is capable of incredible feats. However once a user has unleashed all their might it becomes increasingly difficult to recover. Due to this, a storm mage must remain ever vigilant of any opposition they may face, and must remain completely calm, dealing highly calculated and planned moves. The strategy of storm is one of pure magical energy, that delves its users deep within their selves to find the power they need to complete the tasks at hand.

CLASSIFICATION: Man-made stone
A nano crystal is an entirely man-made invention and does not exist in nature.

Your Last Will Should Be Your First Wish
Having a Will or a Trust is the first thing you would want to do to, if you don't want state law to jump in and distribute your money after your death. Wills offer a lot of flexibility for a testator who has a spouse, minor children or others for whom he wants to provide support after his death. Same-sex partners and unmarried couples can also use a Will/Trust to grant rights and provide financial support to their loved ones where state law normally would not. In this regard, a Will or a Trust allows the testator to plan for more personal matters, such as funeral arrangements, how his/her children should be raised, care for his/her surviving pets or anything else the testator could need. Contact us today to start forming your living Will/Trust.
Your Finances Are Your Ultimate Concern
Personal financial statement provides a realistic listing of the assets you own and the debts you owe. It is a snapshot of an individual's financial health at one particular point in time. It is also a planning tool to show you indicators of the amount of liquid assets (for emergencies) or that investments are too heavily concentrated in one area.
Having a Personal Net Worth Statement prepared by Khamas CPA, can help you secure a loan for you or your business, show the dollar value of what you own and what you owe, highlight the importance of debt reduction, and make sound financial decisions based on your current financial standing.
Converting Your Financial Data into Financial Statements
You may be considering business expansion or acquiring a new business. Such action usually requires the preparation of a forecast or projection. A compilation report would be issued with the forecast or projection since the financial information would be based on the representations of management.
Khamas CPA can convert your company's financial data and format it into a properly structured set of financial statements, in the form of a Compilation Report. Compilations allow companies without an accountant to have financial statements prepared at a lower cost than reviewed or audited financial statements. If you need to have a Compilation report prepared, contact us today and we will be glad to assist.
Retirement Planning Is Everyone's Priority
American workers are delaying retirement because they haven't saved enough over the years. Khamas CPA can help you plan for retirement, start a 401 (k) plan, or Rollover a current retirement plan.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - France supports short-term debt relief measures for Greece and the country cannot be asked to make any additional budgetary efforts, French President Francois Hollande said on Thursday.
"The Eurogroup has decided to ease Greece's debt, still not sufficiently so. I support the Eurogroup's position," Hollande told reporters in Brussels while arriving for a summit of European Union leaders.
"We cannot ask Greece for additional efforts or to prevent it from taking some sovereign decisions which respect the agreements made here in Brussels to find a solution for Greece's future," he added.
