Qur'an is the Arabic speech of Allah سبحانه و تعالى that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺboth in word and in meaning. It is collected between the two covers of the mushaaf, was narrated in mutawaatir chains (reported by many different reliable narrators, who all independently verify the same account), and is a challenge to humankind. The Qur'an is an ongoing challenge to the human race– to create a book, a Surah, an ayath like it; but nay, humans will never be able to produce.
Allah سبحانه و تعالى Challenged the Arabs to produce a literary work of a similar caliber as the Qur'an, but they were unable to do so in spite of their well-known eloquence and literary powers. The challenge to reproduce the Qur'an was presented to the Arabs and mankind in various stages. The Arabs of the 6th and 7th centuries CE were masters of the Arabic language. Eloquence and rhetoric were their lifeblood. The liveliness that marked their gatherings, the gaiety of their fairs, and the virtues of which they boasted, all found expression through poetry and literature. They were so proud of their literary accomplishments that they disdainfully dubbed all the other peoples of the world as "'Ajam" or "Dumb."
The Whole Qur'an
In the Qur'an, Allah سبحانه و تعالى commands the Prophet Muhammad ﷺto challenge all of creation to create a book of the stature of the Qur'an:
"Say: 'If all mankind and the jinn would come together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce its like even though they exerted all and their strength in aiding one another.'" (Qur'an.Surah Isra 17:88)
Ten Surah
Next, Allahسبحانه و تعالى made the challenge ostensibly easier by asking those who denied its divine origin to imitate even ten chapters of the Qur'an:
"Or do they say that he has invented it? Say (to them), 'Bring ten invented chapters like it, and call (for help) on whomever you can besides God, if you are truthful." (Qur'an.Surah Hud 11:13)
One Surah
The Qur'an continued to reduce its challenge until the challenge finally became very small. This challenge was to produce even a single chapter to match what is in the Qur'an, whose shortest chapter, al-Kawthar, consists of only three ayah:
"And if you all are in doubt about what I have revealed to My servant, bring a single chapter like it, and call your witnesses besides God if you are truthful." (Qur'an.Surah Baqarah 2:23)
A number of Quraishee orators and poets tried to imitate the Qur'an, but they failed. They then resorted to offering him vast amounts of wealth, the position of king over them, and the most noble and beautiful of their women in exchange for his promise to stop inviting people to Islam.
Challenge for Non-Arabs
Allah سبحانه و تعالى gives the challenge even to Non-Arabs meaning those who don't know Arabic. The challenge is to produce contradictions in the Qur'an
"Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction." (Qur'an.Surah Nisa 4:82) [1]
Challenge in Prophecies
Among other things, the Qur'an contains prophecies of future events, many of which have come to pass. We reproduce here a discussion of one such prophecy, which was fulfilled within the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
"…The Romans have been defeated, in the land close by. And after (this) defeat of theirs, they will soon be victorious within a few years. To Allah سبحانه و تعالىbelongs the command before and after and on that day the Believers will rejoice in Allah's help…" [Qur'an.Surah Rum 30:2-4]
"When this prophecy was made, no prediction could be more unbelievable because the initial twelve years of Heraclius were evidently declaring an end to the Roman Empire." [Fall of the Roman Empire, v.5, p.73-74]
Prophecy about Abu Lahab, not accepting Islam is revealed before his death. Qur'an.Surah Lahab 111:1-5
In Science and History
Apart from prophecies, the Qur'an has pointed out many scientific and historical facts which were not only unknown at that time, but could not even be imagined given the development of civilization. Entire books have been written (by both Muslims and non-Muslims) confirming the correspondence of scientific discoveries to the truths expressed in the Qur'an. Below are the two examples:
Fir'awn's body
The Qur'an has stated that as Fir'awn (Pharaoh) was drowning in the sea he made a confession of faith orally, just to save his life. In response, Allah سبحانه و تعالىSaid (what means):
"What! Now? And indeed before this you did rebel and were of the corrupt. So this day We shall rescue you with your body that you may be a sign to those who come after you." [Qur'an.Surah Yunus 10: 91-92]
Everything is created in pair
The Qur'an has stated: "And of everything We have created pairs that you may take heed." [Qur'an.Surah Dhariyat 51: 49]
When this verse was revealed, the general concept was that male and female pairs existed only among human beings and animals or in some vegetation. However, with the advancement of science, the Quranic reality is becoming manifest that male and female pairs exist in everything. In some instances they are termed as male and female, and elsewhere as positive and negative, as electron and proton, or neutron and positron. In another ayath, the Qur'an has also clarified that the occurrence in pairs in many other things is still unknown to people. It says (what means):
"Glorified be He Who created pairs of all things which the earth grows, and of themselves (humans), and of that which they know not." Qur'an.Surah Ya Seen 36: 36
Scholars view
The following statement of Ibn Taymiyyah رحمت الله: "The greatest (of all the miracles) is the Qur'an that the Prophet Muhammadﷺ came with, for it is the religion of Allah (Glory be to Him) and His speech, and it is proof of the Prophet-hood of Muhammadﷺ. Its very revelation is one of the most supernatural and extraordinary of acts, for it is the call (to the worship of Allah سبحانه و تعالىalone) and the proof (of the Prophet-hood of Muhammad ﷺand the miracle (i.e., all in one)" Collection of Islamic Rulings, vol. 11 p. 324
The fact that there are no contradictions in the Qur'an, despite being revealed over the twenty-three years period, under different circumstances, addressing different problems, is a clear indication to the sincere and objective reader of its divine origin.
Unlike the miracles of previous prophets, which were only applicable for a limited time, to this day the Qur'an -- the Final Testament given to the Last Prophet ie, Prophet Muhammad ﷺis still a relevant miracle for humanity and will remain so as long as the world exists. We live in an age of science and technology, of knowledge, logic, and reason. Yet, in spite of all the human advancement in every sphere of life, the principles of the Qur'an have not been proven wrong nor have they become "out-of-date." This is really the great miracle of the Qur'an, it has proven itself a timeless, universal message for humankind, relevant to every facet of our life — be it politics, economics, ethics, science, literature, arts or entertainment.

Re the Aug. 22 letter, "Property tax reform proposal is our best hope": The letter writer says the lowered revenue caused by the decrease in property tax will not affect the educational system or other services but only take the money the governing bodies are wasting out of the system. Now it is hard to make the education system worse. So how we will have at least equal services with less money, the letter writer does not say.
Yes, our system is not perfect. All homes are not taxed equally. All taxpayers are not treated equally. The current system and the one being proposed rewards the individual who is a resident and never moves. The new homeowner pays a higher property tax on a similarly valued home. The nonresident bears a higher share of the property tax while using a lower portion of the services. The landlord who helps to provide housing for those who can't afford or do not desire the American dream of home ownership is punished with higher property tax. The young family just starting out with fewer resources is taxed based upon the current fair market value of the home but that family who does not move watches the value of their home increase while paying property tax based closer to their original purchase price.
So, if you want a fair property tax system, value all real estate based upon its fair market value. Total the amount of the fair market value in a tax district. Divide the total budget by that total fair market value. No significant difference for the length of ownership or type of ownership. Adjust the fair market value for all real estate every number of years, say three or five years.
If the letter writer wants Florida to be a better place, make the property tax really fair and equal.

Today, 95% of our stuff left.
The movers came yesterday and started boxing things up.
Things we needed were
They finished the job today. (Our junk filled ten crates--not too shabby.)
|The last three empty crates
Think "90's-Air-Force-Hotel Chic".
|Gray checking out the "new" couches.
Ran in and out 397 times.
Blocked or dodged movers with extremely large boxes 26 times
Emptied a can of WD40 in my bedroom. It stinks. (Gabe says Isaac did it.)
Whadayado? (Personally, I grounded Gabe from gum for a week. He's usually a three-piece-a-day 'er. We'll see how that goes.)
Isn't moving FUN?!?
P.S. (and this is the proclamation part.) Our stuff is headed for SAN DIEGO!
HOPEFULLY, we'll have an actual address (and job) by the time it gets there!
(Are you happy, Felix?)

I was looking forward to this film. I honestly was. I love a high-budget superhero flick as much as anyone. Even with the fact that this one is a reboot of a franchise that began only 10 years ago.
Unfortunately, the final product proved a reboot was not only unnecessary, it was a terrible idea. Nearly everything about this film was bad...from the story, to the script, to the casting...as happens so often, the visual effects were the best thing about this film, and they weren't exactly groundbreaking.
From frame one this film just felt off. The opening music didn't seem to fit, and I actually thought I was hearing the wrong audio. The opening scene was just odd...and funnily enough, is never even explained throughout the film. And honestly, that's basically the feel of the entire movie. Just, off.
Andrew Garfield is a decent enough Peter Parker, but he comes off as more of a hipster instead of the nerd he's supposed to be. (I actually think that's more the fault of the script than the actor's interpretation of the character.) Emma Stone is good enough as Gwen Stacy, I suppose...but, for one thing I personally don't think she's pretty enough...not only to be the hot blonde from the comics, but also to even be a leading lady. And there's just something about her that rubs me the wrong way. But again, that's all personal taste, so I suppose I can't hold it against the movie itself. Of course Denis Leary plays the no nonsense cop just fine. And Martin Sheen and Sally Field always do a fine job, but Field is just not what I picture when I think of Aunt May. Neither came off as very convincing. Rhys Ifans was an odd choice for Dr. Conners, and also was at least a minor disappointment.
All in all, I can see that they were going more for an "unknown" main cast, but I think it left a lot to be desired.
This was just ridiculous. The opening scene of Peter's childhood makes no sense, and as mentioned earlier, is never even explained. The character development is very poorly done, and so often the characters just don't come off right. Flash Thompson starts off bullying Peter (as expected), but after Uncle Ben dies, we get a completely useless scene in which the whole school seems sympathetic to Peter, and Flash seemingly comes up to console him? Not only could the entire scene have been left on the cutting room floor from just an importance-to-the-story standpoint, it should have been left out if for no other reason than it didn't even make sense for the character.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, by the end of the film, he's actually buddying up to Peter? WTF?
Also odd is the way Spider-Man comes off as less of the snarky intelligent hero that tries to do the right thing, and more of just a simple jerk. The best example is in one encounter with a car thief: Spidey webs him to a wall and proceeds to toy with him in a humiliating way, feigning fear and then laughing at how easy it is to defeat him. It's just not Spider-Man.
Spidey also seems way too willing to expose his identity...web-slinging around multiple times without even his costume, let alone his mask...voluntarily taking off his mask multiple times, and even revealing his identity to Gwen, essentially for no reason.
Something else bothersome was the odd display of Peter's abilities. He's so strong he regularly breaks metal objects just through normal use, yet he can't even leap over a normal height chain-link fence, or from one rooftop to another without having to grab the ledge and lift himself up to the second roof. He even runs through the streets instead of jumping to a nearby building and web slinging from there.
This only added to the overall weirdness. So much of the dialog just felt odd and out of place. For example, when Peter comes to see Gwen after being injured, and they begin to kiss, she stops him, saying she can't...and then proceeds to tell him how since she was young her father always put on a badge in the morning and went to work, and she never knew if he would come back alive. Wha?
The inspiration for the Spider-Man suit is never explained. Peter gets the idea for the mask from a lucha libre poster...but for the suit itself, all we see is Peter searching Bing (shameless product placement, of course) for images of Olympic athletes, saying "all spandex". Okaaaay.
It's also a bit lame the way multiple scenes seem to be replayed. Peter gets into a confrontation with Flash several times. He comes home with bruises that Aunt May notices, and which he won't explain to her several times. So much could have been cut out, or at least written in a more fresh way, so that the audience didn't have to basically relive the same sequences over and over again.
And three words: Peter Parker skateboarding. Seriously?
Bottom line
Overall this film was barely differentiable from the original in terms of visual effects. In terms of everything else, it was a total disappointment, and the original was far superior. In Spider-Man (2002), the characters were more believable, more true to the comic, and better cast. They were more interesting, better developed, and given better things to say. The story made more sense, had better flow, and was better told. That's why over a decade later, it is still the 37th highest grossing film of all time (even without accounting for inflation), and this reboot is barely in the top 50.
This second incarnation just felt like a movie. I was never really pulled into the story...throughout the entire film, I was almost always aware I was watching actors play roles.
I honestly feel like I need to go watch the original series again (or at least the first two) just to get this bad impression out of my mind.
Obviously with a $230 million budget and a top-tier superhero franchise, you're pretty much guaranteed something that is at least visually entertaining...but there were actually several times during this film that I was tempted (and would have been just fine with) turning it off.

As the premier provider of solutions for achieving global alignment, MedEvoke has been fortunate to work with numerous top-20 pharmaceutical companies. Our proven track record is a testament to the methodology and expertise of the MedEvoke team. The following case studies highlight recent successes and the reason MedEvoke has become an essential strategic partner to the industry.
Achieving Enterprise-Wide
Alignment to Minimize Portfolio Erosion
A top-5 pharmaceutical company sought to minimize the market erosion for their full portfolio of late life-cycle global brands. In an industry that typically focuses only on top-of-mind awareness for mature and declining products, the company instead identified an opportunity to uncover additional differentiators from the vast quantity of existing data and create new compelling scientific narratives. To effectively execute this marketing strategy, though, the company needed to employ a strategically aligned narrative development process across all the brands.
To maximize brand value and achieve global alignment on each product's scientific narrative, the company entered into an enterprise-wide partnership with MedEvoke. MedEvoke implemented a proven process for achieving alignment that included the following:
- Comprehensive Literature Analysis: MedEvoke identified key differentiators that would offer value to patients, physicians, and payers and would substantiate the new scientific narratives
- One Medical Voice: Evidence-based narratives were developed for each brand enabling a consistent communication platform and flexible global utility
- Dynamic Internal Portal: Based on the narratives created by MedEvoke, we partnered with the client to create an interactive global resource to maintain strategic alignment and a robust connection between specific narratives and the most relevant clinical data
MedEvoke's enterprise-wide solution enabled the client to implement consistent, compelling scientific narratives that were supported by data and offered the greatest opportunity for differentiation. Additionally, alignment across brands, operational functions, and geographic regions afforded a replicable solution for eliminating redundancy, maintaining message consistency, and enabling a seamless, familiar platform for staff that move from brand to brand.
Driving Success for Multiple Sclerosis
A new product developed by a subsidiary of a top-10 pharmaceutical company was in Phase 2b development for the treatment of relapsing forms of MS. With an expected approval two years later and numerous stakeholders with competing goals, objectives, strategies, and budgets, the company sought a supplier to develop a globally aligned scientific narrative for the product.
MedEvoke employed a proven methodology to develop a global consensus-based scientific narrative. The process consisted of the following:
- Comprehensive market analyses to determine unmet needs, competitor positioning, treatment paradigms, and market opportunities
- Conference attendance to conduct KOL encounter programs and competitive intelligence
- KOL advisory meetings and interviews to define and articulate the product's differentiation points
- Global alignment workshop comprising all stakeholders to begin the process of achieving strategic alignment
- KOL validation of the scientific narrative
- Completion and launch of the agreed-upon scientific narrative
The product successfully launched. MedEvoke continued to evolve the narrative via a strategic message evolution suite of offerings (e.g., data surveillance, KOL encounters, advisory board meetings, steering committee meetings) to adapt the narrative to market conditions and to maintain strategic alignment.
Introducing a Novel MoA in Acute Heart Failure
A top-10 pharmaceutical company, was developing a novel agent for acute heart failure. The company needed to identify and unravel the complex pharmacological MOA for the product that would adequately support and describe its clinical efficacy to connect the unmet need and overall value proposition without overly complicating the narrative for patients, payers and providers. In addition, it was critical to consider the current cardiovascular market of products and competitors to adequately differentiate and highlight the overall value proposition from current and future marketed products.
MedEvoke developed and executed a scientific communications strategy and plan, including a scientific narrative that would be used for lexicon, medical education, data dissemination, and KOL/physician engagement that included:
- A foundational review for scientific strategy and planning pre-launch
- An evaluation of the essential endpoints for assessing acute heart failure therapies
- Scientific imperatives and lexicon
- Scientific communications platform
- Internal and external validation of product narrative
- Medical education and supportive field-based medical communications
- Digital delivery and dissemination
- Alignment of EMEA
MedEvoke effectively aligned internal cross-functional teams around the core differentiation and lexicon for the product which also served as the foundation for the scientific communications platform and all subsequent medical communications about the product, including publication and congress strategy, planning and execution, MSL-physician interactions, and medical information call categorization. MedEvoke analyzed the internal reporting mechanism to assess which imperatives garnered the most/least attention, thus driving where resource focus should be directed, including which content had the most resonance outside of the organization.
Building the Business Case to Maximize Value Proposition for Rheumatoid Arthritis
A top-10 pharmaceutical company is studying a biologic treatment for moderately-to-severely active rheumatoid arthritis. Currently in Phase 3 development, the company needed to identify ways to maximize the product's value proposition across various patient subpopulations.
MedEvoke was asked to lead an initiative to build business cases for each subpopulation of patients including customer analysis, scientific rationale for therapy, and clinical evidence recommendations. MedEvoke is employing a four-phase approach to the process:
- Secondary research, comprehensive literature review, and gap analysis to assess market potential, unmet needs and opportunities across each patient subpopulation
- Primary research with rheumatologists to determine changes in medical practice, unmet needs, decision drivers, differences in treatment of subpopulations, and treatment barriers
- Cumulative analysis of primary and secondary data
- Business case development and reporting
This information will inform the decision to proceed with clinical development in some or all of the designated patient subpopulations and will be used to determine which markets offer the greatest opportunity and should be targeted for investment. MedEvoke will then be reengaged to develop strategically aligned scientific narratives for each patient segment.
Differentiating PDE-5 Inhibitors in
Vascular Disease Erectile Dysfunction
A co-marketed initiative between two organizations sought to drive differentiation in a competitively positioned market to support overall product value. It was critical to make the case for the most effective PDE-5 inhibitor based on basic and clinical science while considering key competitors, target patient profiles and market influence.
MedEvoke developed a scientific narrative that would be positioned around targeted stakeholders and developed a strategic data dissemination plan in order to maximize efforts and efficiencies. The process consisted of the following:
- Evaluating of data, market, competitors and developing key medical strategy
- Prioritizing and identifying key stakeholders based on the identified patient profile
- Developing clear and concise scientific imperatives, scientific communications platform and lexicon, tailored to the specific stakeholders identified
- Developing a comprehensive strategic medical communications plan that included:
- Publication and congress displays reflective of medical specialties and geographic targeting
- Stakeholder engagement plan, including KOL communication and identification
- An internal cross-functional "Center of Excellence" for medical communications and tactical execution
By developing succinct scientific imperatives, MedEvoke effectively align internal cross-functional teams from both organizations around core differentiation and lexicon, and ensure there was clear distinction from PDE-5 inhibitors already on market. MedEvoke developed a dissemination and execution plan that supported the overall business objectives and medical strategy. The plan guided scientific communications dissemination across both organizations, therefore driving a clearly defined execution strategy that was critical to uptake and use for the greatest value and impact of efforts.

Yahoo has settled a lawsuit over pay-per-click ads sold by Yahoo that wound up in some shady corners of the Internet.
Yahoo will create an "Ad Placement Option" for advertisers to guarantee their ads will appear only on sites owned by Yahoo or sites designated as "premium" partners. That feature should appear early next year but Yahoo has a deadline of September 30, 2010, to provide advertisers with that option.
Advertisers will also get better tools for measuring traffic quality and potentially troubling sites bearing their ads. Yahoo said the deal will still be in place assuming it gets the regulatory approval to outsource its search business to Microsoft. Yahoo plans to retain the right to sell search ads on its sites once that deal is official.
If you went out of business as a Yahoo ads customer, you're eligible for $20, which should really make the pain of that failed business venture go away. As TechCrunch notes, the real winners here are the lawyers: of the $4.3 million settlement, $4.17 million is going to the lawyers.
More information on the settlement can be found here.

While I was at San Francisco Fashion Week in September I not only had the opportunity to see some amazing new collections strutting down the runway, I also got the chance to meet and get to know some of the designers.
And one of those designers was Irys Kornbluth of I.K. Studio who met with me last week to share her innovative new Bird Couture line – San Francisco Menswear at its finest.
The newest project launched by I.K. Studio is the pop-up menswear line called Bird Couture featuring shirts, shorts & accessories. But hurry, these one-of-a-kind pieces are only going to be available through the holidays.
My favorite piece from the collection?
This bold, fun collection debuted at San Francisco Fashion Week at the Emerging Designers showcase and I was thrilled to be sitting front & center during its unveiling. The styling was perfect, the real world mixture of eye-catching prints and bold black & white paired with distressed fabrics and accessories.
{Check out more pictures here and here}

During the presidential campaign, President Donald Trump had a seemingly different view on the implications of requesting immunity in a criminal investigation.
Trump tweeted on Friday morning that Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser who is being investigated by Congress and the FBI over his communications with Russia, should ask for immunity to protect himself from "a witch hunt."
But back in September, when reports surfaced that Hillary Clinton aides were granted immunity in an FBI investigation into Clinton's private email server, Trump said at a campaign rally that such a request for immunity amounted to an admission of criminal guilt.
"Her aides took the Fifth Amendment and her ringleaders were given immunity," Trump told the crowd, which booed in response. "And if you're not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for, right?"
"The reason they get immunity is because they did something wrong," Trump added. "If they didn't do anything wrong, they don't think in terms of immunity."
In October, Trump also tweeted: "ATTN: @HillaryClinton – Why did five of your staffers need FBI IMMUNITY?!"
Around the same time, Jason Miller, then Trump's communications adviser, argued that reports that Clinton aides "were granted immunity from prosecution in Hillary Clinton's email scandal shows this was without a doubt a criminal scheme."
Like Trump, Flynn also made comments last year that have raised eyebrows given his reported request for immunity from prosecution.
"When you are given immunity, that means you have probably committed a crime," Flynn said during an interview with MSNBC commentator Chuck Todd.
A request for immunity from prosecution does not amount to an admission of guilt. A person granted immunity may still be criminally prosecuted for crimes revealed in the testimony as long as the activity is confirmed with independent evidence.
Flynn resigned in February after less than a month as national security adviser, following reports that he misled Vice President Mike Pence and other US officials about his conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Flynn was allegedly involved in discussions about the possible lifting of Russian sanctions.
So far, his request for immunity has gotten no takers. The Senate Intelligence Community reportedly rejected the request, NBC News reported Friday.
Mark Abadi and Peter Jacobs contributed to this report.

GARNET CANDLE | January
Woody aromas of fir balsam intertwined with pine needles and vetiver.
Burn time: 60 hours240 G / 8.5 OZ CandleDimension: 3.5" tall, 3" wide Cotton wick - Wax: Soy Blend
Many moons ago, the native tribes of the Cayuga and Oneida used to make their winter quarters along Fish Creek and its frozen river. One evening by the light of a blazing fire, the warrior Running Bear and a maiden from the neighboring tribe, Garnet Eyes, fell deeply in love. Alas, the night before their wedding, the maid with eyes of fire fell into the river and was swept away by the current. Running Bear's tears turned into scintillating red crystals, the color of garnet stone, symbol of their eternal love. With its robe of purple, garnet sheathes us in courage. It fills us with energy and fans the flames of passion.
Light your candle 2 hours the first time, you will get an even burn.To preserve the fragrance, do not burn your candle for more than 3 hours at a time.Before each burn trim the wick to less than 1/4 of an inch, you will avoid any black smoke and residue on the glass.Always remove wick debris and keep burning the wick in the middle of the container.If the wick requires centering, gently readjust it to the center when the candle is unlit and the wax is still molten, allow the candle to solidify before relighting.Burn on a flat, stable fireproof surface.
Garnet is the birthstone for the month of January.People often ask us "Can I purchase Garnet if I am not born in January?"The response is yes, absolutely.Whether you are born in January or not, the most important thing is how this scent makes you feel. You can also choose your Birthstone Scents candle or perfume by looking at the properties of the gems. So, don't overthink the month of January and go for it if you like it!

text: irrics 1,501 Posted March 9, 2016 Hi - Could anyone give me some up to date insights on why I might choose Taburet vs Night Environment to spruce up my night flying on P3D v3.2? I see lots of commentary and videos about how nice NE is, but Taburet seems to have far far more coverage available. That aside, say you were choosing a region that is covered by both. Does anyone have any comments either way on why/what they prefer? Thank you in advance for anything you care to share! Share this post Link to post

The gallery is proud to share critic Seth Hawkins' extremely positive review of Kris Kuksi and Preston Daniels' recent solo exhibitions with the gallery. The review – as it appears in Artillery Magazine – is in full below:
Death, destruction, strife and pollution—the pairing of Kris Kuksi's and Preston Daniels' variations of dark sensationalism transport us to their version of artistically-mediated Armageddon, with each creating unique and hauntingly extravagant objects. Kuksi's baroque wall sculptures are windows onto apocalyptic scenes, using a narrative style of assemblage to critique war, and portray devastation and the rebirth of society atop the ashes. Daniels' installation complements nicely while embracing "darkness" in a much more tactile and literal way, allowing zero buffer between the viewer and the thick black ooze claustrophobically dripping from the vast geometric shapes that engulf the second gallery.
Truly a master appropriator, Kuksi builds vastly intricate artworks using thousands of repurposed, modified and carefully articulated miniatures—whether from statues, toys or any other object globally sourced that finds its way to his rural Kansas studio. In a world where we stroll past art mid-stride, Kuksi's work begs to be examined and explored at length, with an almost infinite amount of information residing within the minutia. Embedding Renaissance-style nudes, military figures and classic mythology into his creations, Kuksi acknowledges that which has come before—he just distorts it in a way that complements his own twisted fantasies.
While sculptural, Kuksi's work embodies the junction at which art, image and violent narrative collide. Something akin to the method of Michelangelo's Last Judgment—the artworks have a centralized story, but also dozens of sub-themes and characters subtly interacting with each other. The unspeakable horrors depicted are hidden amongst the sheer volume of imagery. Kuksi's massive wall sculpture, Leda and the Swan (2014), exemplifies this unique style. The life-sized figure of Leda lies beneath a tree, surrounded by hundreds of other vignettes. A miniature world of scaffolding, construction and chaos is being built atop and around her reclining body—giving insight to the fact that evil is consuming what once represented high beauty. Explore closely and groupings of tiny severed heads can even be found suspended amid the tree leaves shading her.
Compressed within the second gallery, Preston Daniels' installation is an immersive and ominous environment. Jutting precariously from the walls and ceiling are minimalist forms of splendor—geometric structures containing fluorescent light fixtures. Covered in dark menacing goo, it is as if flawless works by Sol Lewitt and Dan Flavin have been encased in a millennia's worth of grime, sludge and other effluences. Residing on the far wall is a cluster of text paintings, some legible and others with the lettering inverted. With phrases such as "WHEN YOU DIE WE WIN" and "ONE FOR YOU ONE FOR ME" (accompanied by imagery of two shotgun shells), the wall is an instruction manual for escaping this doomed ecosystem.
Too often, contemporary sculpture leaves us utterly disappointed, but this exhibition provides a reprieve from the norm. While psychologically menacing, these artworks embrace the wonder of destruction and the potential carnage contained within the human condition—all the while somehow making it look sexy as hell.
We congratulate both artists on this wonderful coverage, and thank Mr. Hawkins and Artillery for their support. For more information about the artists or available works, please email email@example.com.

Spending time outdoors in winter, in nature or enjoying a sport is a great way to stay healthy but there are a few things to think about to stay safe in the cold. Proper clothing is important to prevent cold related injuries including frost bite. A few lighter layers are better than one heavy layer. Choose a loose absorbent synthetic fabric next to the skin, a warmer middle layer and a water resistant/repellant outer layer. No drawstrings for safety. Parachute Canada has more information for parents about dressing for the cold, preventing frost bite and ice safety.

From high school, all the way to the professional level, the drive of an athlete can push the human body to its very limits. With consistent pressure to perform to the best of their abilities, many athletes look high and low for an edge to separate them from the competition. One of the best ways to improve athletic performance, reduce recovery time, and gain a competitive advantage can be found through the nurturing and rejuvenative effects of professional sports focused massage treatment.
Sports Massage Specialist
Whether you're an adult amateur, a high profile professional, or a high school athlete, it is vital to maintain and care for the muscles and tissues that propel your game. Rather than wait until a nagging ache or pain sidelines you, it may be best to consult with a certified massage professional, such as Charles Moore, to learn more about the different types of sports massage offered. Below you can find more information on the several types of sports massages offered, and the benefits associated with each type of professional sports massage.
Types of Sports Massage
There are three widely considered different instances in which sports massage treatment can be administered to achieve the greatest positive effects: Pre-game, post-game, and in the unfortunate case of injury. Below each type of sports massage is explained more clearly.
Pre-Game Sports Massage
A pre-game sports massage is aimed at invigorating muscles and tissues and preparing the athlete for an immediately upcoming event. During a pre-game massage, a certified professional will engage the muscles and tissues that the athlete will depend upon for their athletic performance. Pre-game massage is often geared towards getting the blood flowing and helping the athlete focus on the upcoming event. A pre-game massage is most often administered close to the time and location of the event, and can even be completed at the event site if so desired.
Post-Game Sports Massage
Post-game sports massage is an invaluable tool at helping an athlete recover from the demands of competition. An effective post-game sports massage allows for muscles to properly cool down from the elevated state a game or event requires. The focus of post-game massage treatment is in flushing toxins from the body, calming the athlete's nerves, and reducing recovery time. An effective post-game massage regime can greatly reduce the time an athlete needs between a major game or event and an upcoming practice. This allows the athlete to return to full-speed as quickly as possible to continue to improve their level of play.
Injury-Related Sports Massage
Playing at a high level can take its toll on even the most well trained and prepared physique. Injuries, although unfortunate, do happen, and can range in severity from dull, nagging aches and pains, to debilitating muscle tears and pulls. Every day an athlete must spend sidelined by an injury, or continuing to play while hurt, is a day they could potentially fall behind the competition.
It is important to take the messages your muscles and joints send you seriously, and to contact a massage professional when any concerns arise. Through receiving professional massage treatment after an injury occurs, the time an athlete will need to sit out and rest is greatly decreased. Additionally, the consultation of a professional ensures that when an athlete does return to activity, they can be assured the likelihood of a reoccurring issues is minimized.
Let Us Join Your Team
Whether you are an individual athlete looking to gain a leg up on the competition, or you manage a team of athletes looking to reap the benefits of professional sports massage services, we can help. As the old baseball maxim goes, "If you're standing still, someone will eventually pass you." Don't get left behind by the competition. Contact us online or by phone today to find out more about the benefits of sports massage.

BEIRUT – Thousands of people were evacuated from what remained of the smashed rebel enclave in the Syrian city of Aleppo on Monday as the U.N. Security Council prepared a vote to send monitors to watch the routes.
Ahmad Dbis, a doctor coordinating a team welcoming the evacuees at the staging ground west of the city, told Agence-France Presse news agency that around 3,000 people had arrived since midnight.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Most had spent the night trapped on their buses – without food, water or bathroom access – after Islamist rebels scuttled the exit deal by torching vehicles sent to rescue the wounded from a government-held area in a neighboring province.
A week after troops loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad forced the effective surrender of rebel forces in east Aleppo, fraught negotiations over safe passage for civilians and rebels have repeatedly broken down.
The area has seen some of the fiercest fighting of Syria's five-and-a-half-year war. For much of it, Aleppo's eastern districts had been the armed opposition's most important stronghold. Pro-government forces now have them pinned into a sliver of territory as international powers negotiate the terms under which they leave.
In the meantime, thousands of civilians remain camped out in what is left of the enclave – its streets now shattered beyond recognition.
Photographs from the area Sunday night showed fires illuminating the street as residents tried to keep warm. Temperatures drop below freezing at night and many people are sleeping across sidewalks and abandoned buildings.
Dbis said around 25 evacuation vehicles had arrived by Monday morning. As residents disembarked, many were wrapped in several coats.
"We have been living a really hard 24 hours," said Rami Zein, a journalist from east Aleppo who had been among those trapped on the buses. "There were a lot of tensions with all the soldiers around and we were really scared that something bad would happen. But thank God we have made it."
Photographs from the arrivals area showed people laughing and posing for pictures, finally freed from an enclave described by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as akin to "hell".
Among them was Bana al-Abded, a 7-year-old child whose plight has been documented on a family-run Twitter account. In an image posted Monday morning, the child was seen in her father's arms, beaming out from below a thick wooly hat.
As an addendum to the Aleppo evacuation deal, 10 buses carried civilians away from two Shiite villages long besieged by rebels – Fouaa and Kefraya – on Monday morning, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the pan-Arab Mayadeen television station.
The Security Council was due to meet Monday morning to vote on a resolution seeking to deploy monitors to Aleppo immediately in order to prevent what France – which drafted the text, along with Russia – has warned could be "mass atrocities" by Syrian forces and allied pro-government militias as they assume control of all of the rebel enclave.
Abuses have already been reported, including house-to-house executions, and the holding-up of a bus packed with evacuees Friday during which witnesses say some men were stripped, robbed and even killed.
The Syrian government and its Iranian and Russian allies have overseen what it describes as reconciliation deals for rebel fighters across the country, ending in the withdrawal of armed militants, usually to the northwestern province of Idlib. This has often been preceded a combination of bombardment and crippling sieges to force the area's surrender.
The evacuation of east Aleppo would be the largest and most significant of its kind, dealing one of the greatest blows of the war to Syria's rebels and leaving them without a single major urban centre that could be used as a bargaining chip in future negotiations.

In the Winners' Circle
Mazak Corp., a long time technical sponsor for team Penske, rode into the winners' circle at the recently completed 102nd edition of the Indianapolis 500.
Australian, Will Power, took the checkered flag at the 102nd edition of the Indianapolis 500. Mazak has been a technical sponsor of the team since 1994.
Will Power won after starting in the third position in his No. 12 Verizon Dallara/Chevrolet. Despite difficulties with mid-race fuel strategy, Mr. Power took his first lead on lap 108 and remained dominant throughout the second half of the race.
Mr. Power returned to the third position in the final 10 laps, a position that guaranteed his victory after the two leaders ran out of fuel before they could cross the finishing line. Team Penske drivers Josef Newgarden and Simon Pagenaud also finished in the top 10, while an accident in lap 145 ended Helio Castroneves' quest for his fourth Indy 500 victory.

Industry Report: Marketing
2010 EAVE Film Marketing Workshop
- European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs (EAVE) held its Film Marketing Workshop from December 1-5, 2010. Over 30 producers and film professionals from the world over gathered in Luxembourg to better understand film marketing strategies.
Film Marketing Workshop (FMW) from December 1-5, 2010. Over 30 producers and film professionals from the world over gathered in Luxembourg to better understand film marketing strategies.
During the five-day workshop, participants attended a series of lectures by a panel of experts on the different stages of the marketing process and several private tutorials in which they presented their own projects and asked for expert advice. EAVE also offered a case study of Swedish blockbuster Easy Money [+see also:
film profile] (Snabba Cash), with its producer, to discuss the film's domestic marketing strategies and define various, even alternative strategies for its foreign releases.
An introduction to marketing was read by Pim Hermeling (see interview), FMW Head of Studies and Wild Bunch Benelux distributor, and Dutch producer Frans van Gestel. Hermeling put forward the main five elements producers should take into consideration before starting work on a film: target audience, marketing elements, release pattern, positioning and strategy.
The importance of the target audience was highlighted by every panelist. Hermeling posed some questions fundamental to determining a target audience: What is the age group? Where can they be found? What do they wear? What do they do?
Van Gestel – who provided an overview of the Dutch film industry by focusing on two diametrically opposed films, Pizza Mafia, one of his latest projects, and Black Butterflies, in production at the time – discussed a great example of targeting the right audience to make a successful film.
Pizza Mafia was a €4m film targeted at Moroccan immigrants in the Netherlands, similar to three previous films of the kind that had garnered between 200,000 and 400,000 admissions. On the other hand, Black Butterflies is a low-budget arthouse film inspired by the life of South African poet Ingrid Jonker, who committed suicide. Strategies for marketing the former are completely different from strategies for selling the latter. While Pizza Mafia should expect a successful domestic theatrical run, Black Butterfiles would only be profitable through international sales, hence financing and marketing become harder. Not only co-production partners but publicists, distributors and broadcasters should also be selected accordingly. Producers must also take into account other features: both films were based on a book, but the creative team of Black Butterflies had to come with a new title because the original Smoking Orphan was not marketable. The target audience of Pizza Mafia is also much clearer, and strategies such as online casting were very successful not only for testing audiences but also for creating awareness.
Posters and trailers are also an essential part of the film marketing process and are highly useful to determining how producers, sales agents and distributors want to market it. Van Gestel displayed a series of Black Butterflies posters, while a famous example of the opportunities offered by trailers was shown by Fraser Bensted (see interview), an expert in audiovisual film marketing and narrative engagement. The example was a fake trailer of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, which sells the film as a feel-good family comedy. Bensted then went on to screen other (real) trailers and promos of popular films, to show how this audiovisual material is made and how important it is as a marketing tool.
The social web is another useful outlet that has become extremely important for marketing films. Expert on interactive marketing Dan Light (see interview) displayed graphics, data and sketches on the media that can potentially participate in the film process, in the content created around a film, and in the online communities that can be reached by means of appropriate online promotion strategies. During his speech, Light emphasised the increasing importance of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter and other social media services like Youtube and Dailymotion and popular online applications like Farmville.
All means are good for creating awareness and, according to expert publicist Barbara Van Lombeek, "There is no such thing as bad publicity as long as your film is good". A publicity plan is essential long before principal photography begins. A strong synopsis, powerful still photography, promo photos of directors and stars, B-roll footage and production notes are some essential, additional marketing material, especially when submitting a film to a festival. Producers must choose the right festival for their film and plan their strategy and material accordingly. Good early reviews and a clearly marketable appearance are also fundamental to having a film picked up by an international sales agent and/or local distributor.
Both distributor Pim Hermeling and TrustNordisk's Head of Sales Susan Wendt stated that every film is unique and must be treated as such. Producers often deal with distributors and sales agents in a film's early stages – when developing marketing strategies, creating marketing material and determining who takes responsibility for every task. Furthermore, sales agents must divide and aim their work at both distributors and producers. Given the importance of their evaluation of a film, their advice during brainstorming and the feedback during and after festivals and markets, producers must make sure they choose the perfect sales agent.
Formal agreements with sales agents and especially with distributors are also very advisable. Entertainment lawyer Joris Van Wijk discussed these types of deals during his talk, and explained where both budgetary and box-office money may go using a standard agreement, while Hermeling and Wendt also provided figures on the budget report of Lars Von Trier's Antichrist [+see also:
film review
interview: Lars von Trier
film profile], its revenue and shares from different windows. Concepts such as minimum guarantees (MGs) and prints and advertising (P&A) costs were explained in detail and analysed on both the US and European markets. The panellists spoke of the corridors, fees and royalties that have come up throughout their years of experience and pointed out that agreements on film packages (both blockbusters and low-profile films impossible to distribute) were more common in recent past.
The Workshop's last presentation was the case study of Easy Money (Snabba Cash), top Swedish box-office hit of the year, directed by Daniel Espinosa and produced by Fredrik Wikström (see interview). The film is based on the best-selling novel by Jens Lapidus and stars Joel Kinnaman in a cast comprising mostly unknown actors. Snabba Cash had a €3m budget and was sold as a thriller, even though it contains some gangster film elements. Wikström explained how they focused on a strong cross-promotional campaign through mobile phones, TV, drinks and supermarkets, using a P&A budget of €500,000.

Royal Navy serviceman from Dartford due in court charged with murder and attempted murder
PUBLISHED: 08:58 11 April 2011
A Royal Navy serviceman is due to appear in court today charged with murder and three counts of attempted murder following a shooting on board nuclear submarine HMS Astute.
Able Seaman Ryan Samuel Donovan, 22, of Hillside Road, Dartford, is expected to appear before Southampton Magistrates Court.
Lt Cdr Ian Molyneux, 36, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, was shot dead on the submarine while it was docked in Southampton on Friday.
A second man, Lt Cdr Christopher Hodge, was also shot and remains in hospital.
Hampshire Police confirmed he has also been charged with the attempted murders of Petty Officer Christopher Brown, 36, Chief Petty Officer David McCoy, 37, and Lt Cdr Hodge, 45, Hampshire Police said.
Nick Hawkins, chief Crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in Wessex, said: "Having reviewed the evidence, I am satisfied that there is sufficient to charge [Mr Donovan] and that it is in the public interest to do so."
On Saturday, Lt Cdr Molyneux's widow, Gillian, paid an emotional tribute to her husband, describing the father of four as "utterly devoted to his family".
The 97m (318ft)-long craft is the UK's newest nuclear-powered attack submarine and is based at the Faslane Naval Base on the River Clyde.

The Emmy Award-nominated and Edgar Award-winning duo of Susan Kim and Laurence Klavan deliver a heart-pounding finale to the postapocalyptic teen world of the Wasteland, filled with dramatic twists and turns. Bestselling author of Criminal, Karin Slaughter, called Wasteland "a Lord of the Flies for future generations. An irresistible page-turner."
No one dares to leave the District—the towering structure of glass and steel that is their protection against the unruly bands of Outsiders that roam Mundreel and the deadly rain that carries the disease that kills all over the age of nineteen.
This skyscraper stands amid the urban devastation, the city rumored to have once been called "Montreal." Esther and her allies have created a haven on the rooftop, a garden that flourishes, and a home for her new baby, hidden from all but the very few who know her secret. But as Gideon's power grows and factions form, the ultimate darkness is born from greed, and Esther must find a way to save the citizens from themselves.
Interview With Susan Kim & Laurence Klavan
Who is your favorite character, or what character was the most fun to write?
SUSAN: I don't know why, but the most fun characters to write are always the bad guys. And while I can't speak for Laurence, I know I had the most fun with Saith, one of the two bad guys in Guardians. She's only nine years old, and is tiny, pretty, and sweet-seeming; absolutely no one takes her seriously at first. But she's also incredibly smart, manipulative, and a very shrewd judge of power. Once she sets out to take over the District with Gideon, she goes to such extremes to make sure no one stands in her way, even he's freaked out by her ruthlessness. In fact, her lust for power is so immense, it eventually tips her over the edge; she becomes almost insane in her belief that she really is a god. But even though her behavior is monstrous, we made sure to give her a sympathetic and human side, as well; it's much more interesting to flesh out your villains that way.
Can you talk about how you wrote it? Did you do any outlining? Did it take you in any unexpected directions?
LAURENCE: We would always outline. And then outline the outlines. And then outline the second outlines. After that, we would divvy up the chapters and each would write separately. Then we would rewrite each other's stuff. In the end, we'd sit side by side and go through it together. But we had to be flexible enough to admit what wasn't working. For instance, not to give anything away, but we had originally envisioned Eli to be a plausible romantic figure for Esther (or at least I did, Susan not so much). But Esther basically told us she didn't like him in the way, so we rewrote it to make him a darker figure.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
SUSAN: My mother always gave us lots of books when we were little. I adored reading from a very early age and as soon as I figured out that people actually wrote the stories that I loved, I knew that was what I wanted to do, as well. I remember folding over pieces of paper, scribbling on them, and then calling them "books" when I was maybe three or four years old. As I grew older, I also fell madly in love with television and theatre, and that's why I've written in those fields, as well. But other than a brief period in 4th grade when I wanted to be a part-time archaeologist, part-time veterinarian, and another time in college when I wanted to act, I knew I was going to be a writer.
What was the first story that you ever wrote?
SUSAN: Well, I had lots of beginnings, which don't really count. I loved coming up with titles, and so sometimes I'd just do a cover page with a title and illustration and leave it at that. But the first real story I ever finished was "Ghost Cat", which I wrote in maybe 6th grade. I found it a few years ago and re-read it; it starts with a little girl whose cat is put to sleep, but she finds another cat who may or may not be that cat's spirit. It wasn't badly written, although it was incredibly morbid and kind of weird. Which I guess summed me up at that age. Or if you want to be blunt, at my current age, as well.
What advice do you have for aspiring authors?
LAURENCE: What I tell myself is: do something every day, so you feel encouraged and have some momentum. Set a reasonable goal for the day, so you don't feel overwhelmed. By the end of a certain period of time, you'll have a first draft, and you can go on from there. For me, doing it incrementally is less daunting. But I don't allow myself to be lazy and not accomplish anything, either. In other words, be a tough but lovable taskmaster to yourself, as opposed to a brutal, annoying or lazy one.

(Sept 10): China's stocks fell, sending the benchmark index to its biggest loss in two weeks, after Premier Li Keqiang indicated money-supply growth slowed last month.
China Vanke Co. and Poly Real Estate Group Co. both slid 2.2 percent to lead declines for property developers. Apple Inc. suppliers Suzhou Anjie Technology Co. and Han's Laser Technology Co. slumped at least 3.1 percent after the iPhone maker introduced new products. Ningbo Port Co. rose to a three-year high on speculation the government will set up more free-trade zones with neighboring countries.
The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.7 percent to 2,310.79 as of 1:12 p.m. M2, the government's broadest measure, rose 12.8 percent, Premier Li said yesterday in Tianjin, the Xinhua News Agency reported ahead of the official release by the People's Bank of China. That compares with a 13.5 percent pace in July, which was also the median estimate for August. The slowdown in money-supply expansion follows July's plunge in new credit to the lowest level since 2008.
"Premier Li's comments hinted that the economy isn't in a good shape, while stressing that the government will focus on reforms rather than short-term stimulus," said Wu Kan, a money manager at Shanghai-based Dragon Life Insurance Co. "That means a cut in reserve-requirement ratios or interest rates isn't likely in the short term. That's leading to a short-term correction."
The CSI 300 Index declined 0.8 percent to 2,425.24. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index lost 2.1 percent. The Bloomberg China-US Equity Index, the measure of the most-traded U.S.-listed Chinese companies, slid 1.1 percent yesterday. Trading volumes were 19 percent above the 30-day average for this time of day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Apple Suppliers
A sub-index of property stocks in the Shanghai Composite retreated 1.1 percent, the most among the five industry groups. Vanke, the nation's biggest listed property developer, slid for a second day. Poly Real Estate, the second largest, fell the most in a month. Gemdale Corp. slipped 0.9 percent.
Suzhou Anjie slid 3.1 percent while Han's Laser tumbled 4.3 percent. Apple unveiled new products and services -- with a smartwatch, mobile-payments system, health applications and bigger-screen iPhones that all work together -- in the biggest new lineup so far under Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook. The stock dropped 0.4 percent in New York yesterday. Since 2008, Apple's stock ended the day down five times on the days of presentations, averaging a loss of almost 2 percent.
Ningbo Port added 3.2 percent, heading for the highest close since July 2011. Small ports have been rallying on policy speculation such as a potential free-trade agreement with neighboring countries, reforms of the maritime industry and progress in Tianjin and Guangdong's free-trade zones, according to a report by Jefferies Group LLC.
Stock Rebound
The State Council asked the commerce ministry to assist in free-trade zone framework planning for Tianjin and Guangdong after the two provincial-level governments submitted plans to the cabinet, the Shanghai Securities News reported today, citing unidentified people.
The Shanghai Composite has rebounded 16 percent since mid- March, spurred by speculation the Chinese government will reduce ownership of state-owned enterprises and a planned link between exchanges in Hong Kong and Shanghai will fuel inflows. It's valued at 8.5 times 12-month projected earnings, the highest since December, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
China's stock rally will evaporate within weeks, Bank of America Corp.'s strategist David Cui said Sept. 8. Equities have been buoyed by government efforts to boost sentiment and the Hong Kong-Shanghai trading link rather than any improvement in the outlook for the world's second-biggest economy, Cui said in a speech in Tokyo.
Gundlach Optimism
The PBOC is scheduled to release the credit data by Sept. 15. Li will address the World Economic Forum later today in Tianjin. The statistics bureau is due to release August inflation data tomorrow. Consumer prices probably rose 2.2 percent from a year earlier, slowing from a 2.3 percent gain in July, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
Other data scheduled from this week include new yuan loans, aggregate financing, industrial production and retail sales.
DoubleLine Capital LP's Jeffrey Gundlach said the Shanghai Composite is "worth a ride" and that the Indian stock market is his favorite in the world.
The manager of the $35 billion DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund, said today in a webcast that he is "not really afraid" of Chinese stocks for investors with an appetite for riskier investments. "For the long term, my favorite stock market is the Indian stock market."

One of the first-person shooter video games that became popular very recently is the game called Doom. This game was developed by id Software and it was released in 2016 by Bethesda Softworks. Some fans of this franchise might be confused with the title of the game because it has the same name as the installment from 1993. Even though there are several sequels to the one from 1993, the Doom from 2016 is not the sequel. The 2016 version of this game is actually the reboot of the original installment. Good job at confusing everybody. This game was released for many different platforms and consoles such as Microsoft Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
The Doom Marine is Back... With a Vengeance
Those who decide to play this game will play it through the perspective of an unnamed soldier and the entire campaign will be played through the first-person perspective. Though this campaign the player will be fighting against the army of demons that have been released by the Union Aerospace Corporation whose headquarters are located on Mars. In comparison to previous installments the renewed version of Doom offers much more fast-pace gaming that offer much more open-end levels that can be reach through advancing in this game. Just like many other similar games from these genres the main emphasis in the game is put on the fire exchanges, explosions, weapons and some more shooting. While the emphasis was placed at the notions mentioned previously, notion of the story is a bit neglected in this game. Whenever main characters are trying to provide some information for the background story some big explosion would interrupt their conversation and the story would not end.
Singleplayer campaign is something that could be expected from the creators of Doom. You will be wandering through the Mars and killing all the demons that have been sent from Hell as a counter attack on those who are trying to use the resources of Hell. One feature that makes this game really interesting is the fact there is not a lot of ammo and because of that you will have to watch what you are doing and how many rounds you fire. Besides that, unlike some similar games, the health of your character will not regenerate on its own. Instead, you will have to collect health packages, to called them that way, and with those packages your health will regenerate. Once again the emphasis is not placed on anything more than killing demons and collecting Glory Kills. These Glory Kills will also provide you with the needed health regeneration.
Multiplayer - Quite Disappointing
The multiplayer mode of the game is yet another feature of the game that may have disappointed some fans of the franchise. This mode does not offer anything special in regards to the campaign and mission accomplishments. One this that the multiplayer does provide are certain weapons that are available only in this mode. Basically, the multiplayer mode of the new Doom does not offer any new aspects that might make this mode more interesting for the players. However, that does not mean that this mode is not good. It is, but the expectations were much higher. Besides single-player and multiplayer mode you will also be able to play in Snap Map mode which will enable you to create and share with other players online.
One of the features that was used from the original version of this game is that you will encounter many locked doors while you go through the facilities on Mars. In order to open those doors you will have to kill all the demons that are located in that room and only after you have killed all the demons you will be able to go through the door. This feature was present in the original version of the game and back then it was something that capture the attention of players. However, we are not sure if that feature in 2016 version of the game will be equally interesting for the players because players have not used to that kind of limitations. One of the reasons why this feature was included in the new version of the game is perhaps the inability of developers to sufficiently develop the AI (Artificial Intelligence) and because of that they decided to use that feature.
The 2016 version of Doom is the reminiscence of some other times when totally different type of gaming was popular. To see one of the legendary games such as 1993 version of this game to go through modern techniques of development was really a special experience. Even though new version of Doom is displaying some lacks and insufficient developing, we can say that the Doom fans will be pleased with the way the game was created. The main focus in this game is on the battles, weapons and shooting and the lack of some kind of background story is not a con for this game because rarely anyone expects this game to provide the background story.

I am not sure?
Here at QADEX we work with over 150 food businesses who are actively trying to drive step change improvement in food safety and brand protection.
Seeing food safety as a competitive issue would benefit our customers, and us, but I am still not sure.
Driving improvement takes a long time, and a lot of effort, and sometimes involves opening up and sharing best practice and ideas between businesses who may otherwise be seen as competitors.
Take allergen risk as an example, QADEX customers who use QADEX Vision for supplier risk assessment, supply chain auditing and specification management gain the power of our allergen risk assessment tools which help to identify mis-declared allergens on raw material specifications and also ensure that site based risk assessments are always up to date. But this amazing capability was developed through collaboration across a number of food businesses and our development team. The businesses now benefiting from these tools cannot advertise or market on pack what they are doing to be better.
Consumers want to trust the food that they buy, and when things go wrong the brand protection implications can be large.
But I know from the work I do every week with progressive technical directors and technical managers that treating food safety as a "non-competitive issue" allows them to sit down, have conversations and move things forward. If food safety becomes a competitive issue some companies may become introverted and we are all worse off as an industry.
I am really not sure about the wisdom of the FSA taking this direction.
I am not sure?

Ebaumsworld, Break.com, Then YouTube, Now What?
The net video business has advanced from small on-line video corporations to massive entities over the past 6 years. This progress is reflective of technological advances and the ability of broadband expertise. The primary on-line video was produced in 2004 and the flexibility of broadband urges to permit enjoying flawless flash animations engendered the net video business. In 2005 a number of on-line video corporations had been began and up to now the business is prospering.
One of the crucial in style on-line video corporations is Ebaumsworld. Ebaumsworld is a web site the place movies, flash cartoons and video video games might be accessed. The location gained its recognition as a result of it allowed customers to entry movies, flash animations and different media collected from all around the web. Ebaumsworld stays on the high of the business till new gamers like YouTube gained floor. At present Ebaumsworld receives about one million hits per day in comparison with YouTube's one billion. The lack of Ebaumsworld market management is attributed to a number of unethical practices, involving sourcing of their content material. Whereas YouTube had a transparent strategic course and inside stability, Ebaumsworld has suffered authorized battles and inside instability which negatively affected its public picture. Such weaknesses got here at a time when a extra artistic and pretty moral YouTube was rising.
Whereas Ebaumsworld offered content material to its customers, YouTube took a distinct strategy. The inventors of YouTube ensured that the customers of their web site would add, share and look at movies. This was extraordinary with Ebaumsworld. The strategy is customer-focused, permitting anybody to add a video and has attracted thousands and thousands of customers. You will see that video clips from BBC, CBS and different massive media corporations on YouTube. Probably offensive content material is barely accessible to registered customers above 18. At present YouTube controls about 43% of the US video market and has over 35 hours of recent movies being uploaded per minute. YouTube is more likely to stay the biggest on-line video firm in the interim. However to maintain this spot, the corporate should proceed to be revolutionary. It should additionally discover methods of avoiding importing copyrighted and defamatory materials. It's potential that the rise of Salar Kamangar this yr as the brand new CEO will create house for revolutionary methods to deal with a few of these points.
Normally it's anticipated that the business will proceed to develop, particularly as broadband expertise turns into extra accessible and reasonably priced. For any on-line video firm to return up and face the likes of YouTube, its proprietors must be extra artistic and revolutionary. They must provide various data, leisure and training in additional revolutionary and moral methods. They need to generate a defect business foresight, distinguishing themselves from the remainder and place to compete for alternatives. Larger on-line video alternatives lie forward because the world turns into a digital village, with at this time's digital natives changing into tomorrow's traders and inventors. Anticipate extra improvements from these digital natives over this decade. Already new on-line video corporations are across the nook.
New corporations have come on the scene of the net video enterprise at a time when copyright and moral points proceed to hang-out the market leaders. The corporate comes as an aggregator of all Net 2.zero video websites to make them accessible to customers on the lowest value. Xyz.television joins the business with a singular strategy that may enable its customers to entry nearly all movies on the web. Sure, all movies from throughout the web! Xyz.television is more likely to be the following rival of YouTube over the following ten years. Let's watch the house and see what occurs subsequent.

A. Cornell b.1811 son of Benjamin & Rosanna (Foley) Cornell
Not my family line, just sharing.
From the book "HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY, COUNTIES OF WHITE AND PULASKI INDIANA. Historical and Biographical. Illustrated. Chicago; F. A. Battey & CO., Publishers. 1883."
page 251, Union Township, White County, Indiana.
"A. CORNELL, son of BENJAMIN and ROSANNA (FOLEY) CORNELL, was born in Franklin County, Ohio, September 29, 1811, and was reared in Clarke County, same state. In 1832, he and parents moved to Elkhart County, Indiana; in 1834, he came to this county (White County) and engaged in school teaching and farming. In the fall of 1834, he returned to Elkhart County, where he owned land, and April 2, 1835, he married MARY WORTHINGTON. In 1844, he came back to White County, and followed farming in Jackson and Liberty Townships until 1853, when he moved to Kansas. January 1, 1861, notwithstanding his age, he enlisted in the Sixteenth Kansas Cavalry, and was soon detailed as Veterinary Surgeon, in which position he remained until his discharge, December 6, 1865. He then returned to Kansas, but in 1876 came back to remain permanently in White County. His wife died August 19, 1849, the mother of three children - SARAH A., now MRS. G. W. SCOTT; MARY J., now MRS. J. M. HUMPHREY; and MARTHA M., now MRS. B. F. MOORE. MR. CORNELL was re-married, but his second wife, MARY ANN SIMPSON, survived her marriage but two months. MR. CORNELL is now living with his youngest daughter in this township. He is a Republican, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church."
