The history of video game-to-film adaptations is littered with the rotting corpses of productions featuring half-arsed storylines, C-grade casting and a distinctly regrettable absence of directorial vision. The famously appalling German director Uwe Boll has made a living from trotting out cheap and nasty films, which usually make their money back thanks to gamers who are fooled into thinking they are about to re-experience their greatest moments spent with a PlayStation or Xbox on the big screen.
The reality is usually rather different. Movies and video games operate under a completely different set of rules, and quite often the extended non-playable sequences in games which most resemble traditional film narrative are the bits gamers click through in boredom after the first dozen times of viewing. Only the Resident Evil movies have achieved successful franchise status, and only then without any particular degree of critical traction, and largely because zombie films will always have their place in the heart of a certain type of filmgoer.
There is a chance, however, that the trend is changing. The upcoming World of Warcraft movie, Warcraft – with the much-buzzed-about director of Moon and Source Code, Duncan Jones, in the hot-seat – has been in development for so long that it is either going to be the greatest fantasy epic since The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, or the worst example of the form since Eragon. We'll find out in June 2016.
And now comes Michael Fassbender in Assassin's Creed, based on the hugely popular video game in which players go on missions to take down targets in various exotic locations throughout history, – the first image for which has just hit the web. Fassbender, who plays a character named Callum Lynch not seen in the games, is shown in hooded, lightly armoured garb, his weapons of choice ready to slip from beneath his sleeves to be plunged into the nearest unfortunate public figure or political rival.
Assassin's Creed was something of a successor to video game manufacturer Ubisoft's Prince of Persia series, which filmgoers may remember from the ill-fated 2010 big screen adaptation, which was rubbish despite starring decent actors Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton, and featuring direction from no less a figure than Mike Newell. So in a way, we have been here before.
But perhaps, with Fassbender on board as a co-producer, we're entitled to hold out a little hope for Assassin's Creed. The Irishman isn't known for taking on duds, and has brought his Macbeth team of director Justin Kurzel and co-star Marion Cotillard along for the ride. Kurzel, the Australian film-maker who also gave us 2011's harrowing Snowtown, is working from a screenplay by Exodus: Gods and Kings' Bill Collage and Adam Cooper, with Macbeth's Michael Lesslie. The supporting cast looks good too, with Boardwalk Empire's Michael K Williams the key player.
Lynch, like his video game predecessors, is believed to be a modern day man who is able to experience the adventures of his ancestors, in this case those living in 15th-century Spain during the famous religious Inquisition. As well as playing his ancestor, Aguilar, the storyline will see Fassbender, with all new martial arts skills picked up from his time spent rampaging through the past, taking on the nefarious Knights Templar in the 21st century.
All that sounds a little bit too close to the video game for comfort, though James Cameron's Avatar achieved record-breaking box office results and decent critical traction a few years back by adopting a similar remote control aesthetic. Are you holding out hope for Assassin's Creed to take on the mantle of the first ever really decent game-to-film transfer? Or should we be filing this one alongside Doom, Tomb Raider and … shudder … Super Mario Bros?

Technology is now central to most of our lives, and so it should come as no surprise that it is increasingly being incorporated into the designs of home furniture and accessories. The result is a plethora of products that combine solutions to functional issues with consideration of the aesthetics of your home. Need an example? Take the Samsung Serif Television, which was unveiled at the London Design Festival and proudly messes up the defining line between what is technology and what is furniture. A creation from Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, it features a distinctive frame forming an I shape and can sit on detachable legs or be placed on other objects for display. You can also use it to store your books on – if you ever plan to read again. Another example of the current fashion for furniture-technology combos is the Fonesalesman FurniQi. The table itself is stylishly constructed from Mao Zhu bamboo and is pleasantly eco-friendly, but its appeal extends much further. In brief, it is a convenient charging table that offers the ideal solution to the cable and plug clutter hindering the aesthetic appeal of many a modern-day home. It is far from the only high-tech table on the market, however. As well as the much-hyped touchscreen coffee table, there are plenty of less ostentatious choices, such as the Nomad Side Table by Spell .
Ikea, meanwhile, has already hit the headlines this year for its wireless charging drive, and the firm also wants to help out in more than just 'modern' homes. The company and its partners are firmly looking to the future of interior, and in particular kitchen, design. Its Concept Kitchen 2025 was designed as a vision looking at how home technology could, and may well be, used to help with food preparation in years to come. The company's smart table can be used for a multitude of culinary tasks, ranging from measuring out portions to actually heating up food. The table has a camera which it can use to project recipe graphics according to the ingredients placed on its surface, and the whole set-up is supposedly in tune with the timetable of the chef. The Concept Kitchen 2025 was on display between April and September in Milan and was the result of a collaboration between Ikea, IDEO and industrial design students from Lund University's Ingvar Kamprad Design Centre, along with input from Eindhoven University of Technology's Industrial Design Department. The vision – and subsequent kitchen creation – was based on an idea that by 2025 we will all benefit from almost immediate food delivery thanks to the use of drones and autonomous vehicles, leading to everyone, potentially, shopping more and storing less. It also has a heavy focus on boosting energy-efficiency and increasing the visibility of food, which may be forgotten and allowed to go to waste in traditional fridges and store cupboards. It would certainly help some of us to eat more healthily if there were no 'back of the fridge' to hide the half-eaten chocolate bars in.

Peggy Barnell, a former Wells County resident, now lives in North Carolina. She is a playwright, as well as an actress who recently made a cameo appearance in a new Tyler Perry movie.
"I was a late bloomer in many ways," said Wells County native Peggy Barnell. "I spent years hiding who I was."
Barnell will be familiar to many Ossian residents as a former religious columnist for the Ossian Journal. She is the author of plays that have been produced in Wells County and served as Director of Drama for Voices of Power, a local teen performing arts ministry.
Barnell also participated as an actress with several Wells Community Theatre productions, including "The Music Man", "Fiddler on the Roof", and "Annie", as well as The Pulse Theatre in Warren, First Presbyterian Church; and Arena Dinner Theater in Fort Wayne.
Today, Barnell lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. Barnell's theatrical talents have caused her to be cast on the silver screen in an upcoming film starring several of Hollywood's biggest stars. Perhaps even more importantly to Barnell, her writing talents will lead her back to Indiana for a special event scheduled for October 2010.
Strangely, Barnell's chosen profession is neither writing nor acting. Barnell, a Bluffton High School graduate, attended Ivy Tech's School of Nursing where she earned a degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse. After working at Caylor Nickel Clinic for 13 years and local nursing homes, she accepted a position with the medical staff at Fort Wayne Orthopedics.
Growing up, Barnell didn't plan to work in the medical profession. She recalled having a 'Cinderella glass slipper' theory. "I could imitate all kinds of voices and act out dozens of characters," she said. "I wanted to be the next Carol Burnett on stage."
After putting aside her acting tendencies for many years, Barnell's life changed when she became a Christian at age 28. She considers this part of her existence her "late bloomer" period. "Life had gotten in the way of my natural gifts of storytelling," she said. "After I gave God my talents, He helped me blossom."
At Sonlight Wesleyan Church in Bluffton Barnell participated in the church's drama ministry. She loved the performing arts, but when she felt God calling her to write a play, Barnell hesitated. "I didn't think I was a writer," she said.
She persisted and Barnell's first full-length play was performed at Sonlight in 1996. The play called "A Place to Call Home" was based on a song Barnell had heard. "Some songs speak to me with messages and I can't leave them alone," she said. "The first time I heard someone sing 'A Place to Call Home' I knew I would have to do something with it."
Over the next few years, Barnell wrote eight full-length plays. Though none have been published traditionally, she has made her plays available at an online Christian drama ministry site called http://www.dramatix.org. Through this site, Barnell's plays have been produced across the US and in other countries, including Spain, South Africa, Jamaica, and Canada. "It's a blessing to know my ideas are blessing people around the world," said Barnell.
In January 2009 Barnell moved to Charleston. "I felt God leading me here," she said. "I don't have a clear picture of what He wants me to do here," she said, "but I'm glad to be here for the opportunities He'll provide."
She is not waiting sitting idly by waiting for a sign. To hone her acting skills Barnell has joined a professional improvisational acting group that performs skits at corporate functions in the Charleston area. She also is involved with children's ministry at a local church where she writes skits and she has begun a speaking and drama ministry to Christian singles.
All of those skills came to fruition last summer when Barnell met someone at the hospice facility who helped arrange an audition for her in a film starring comedic actor Tyler Perry.
After auditioning for the role in For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, Barnell was cast, appropriately enough, as a nurse in a hospital.
Barnell warns that this movie is different in theme from other Tyler Perry movies. "I only know a sliver of the story," she said, "but it is not a comedy. It is tragic."
The movie is a series of 20 poems performed by a cast of seven women characters on themes of love, abandonment, and other serious cultural issues. The film is scheduled to be released nationally on November 5, 2010. Tyler Perry bought the theatrical rights and cast several well-known actresses in the main roles: Janet Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Whoopie Goldberg, Loretta Devine, Phylicia Rashad.
Though Barnell was on the set with all of the actresses at Perry's studios in Atlanta where the movie was filmed, she did not have the opportunity to meet them.
Though she was paid minimum wage for three days of work, Barnell considers her first experience on a movie set educational. "It was fun learning how things work on a movie set," she said. "I'd like to do more in the future with other movies, hopefully in a role with dialog." Barnell says she will not know until the film is released if her character will remain in the hospital scene. "We'll have to wait and see," she said.
To add to her resume Barnell has done voice-over work for a TV commercial that will air nationally this fall. "It is for a product called Key Kitty which clips your keys to a purse," she said. Her latest play, "A Bus to St. Cloud", will premiere at Sonshine Theater in Indianapolis several weekends in October. Barnell will attempt to travel to the Hoosier capital for the showing.
"I've learned to take one step at a time," said Barnell. "I don't like stepping into thin air, but God is there to meet me and He is faithful."

Flamingo Fairways Phases 1 & 2
Flamingo Fairways Condominiums were built in the early 2,000's. They feature 2 and 3 bedroom floor plans and many have a lovely view of the Flamingo Island golf course. They range in size from just under 1,500 Sq. Ft. to nearly 1,700. Built in phases 1 and 2, they have single car garages and additional uncovered parking spaces. These condos are very popular due to their lower entry price point and the convenient location on Celeste Drive. Celeste Drive connects up with Grand Lely Drive near the entrance to Lely Resort and connects to Triangle Boulevard which runs behind Freedom Square.
Lely Resort condominiums. These condos have long been a popular buy for seasonal homeowners because you lock the door and don't have to be concerned with maintenance since the homeowners associations take care of exterior maintenance of the building as well landscape maintenance. Pet lovers will appreciate the pet friendly condo rules in Flamingo Fairways. Pets up to 20 pounds are permitted and are addressed within the condo association membership application.
Flamingo Fairways Condominiums
Flamingo Fairways Condos are also a popular investment. Seasonal rates in Naples can be as high as three to four thousand dollar a month and can be rented 12 times per year! Many other homes and condo associations in Naples limit rental periods to 30 days minimum and they can only be rented 3 or possibly 4 times in a Year. The Flamingo Fairways neighborhood has it's own private pool and small clubhouse. An interesting feature is fees are reasonable and it does not require membership to the Players Club and Spa though it is optional. This is a nice feature to have as an option and can increase rental rates significantly. The Players Club features an outstanding Tennis facility, private theater, casual and fine dining, several resort pools and a world class fitness center.

It's 4 a.m. and you wake up to that dreadful noise of your baby crying… again. Are you a new parent that is in some desperate need of great parenting tips? Great! You've come to the right place! Read on and discover some excellent tips for surviving those rough days with your baby.
If you're wrong or you've made a mistake, make sure your admit it. Everyone makes mistakes and it's important that your child knows this. If you don't admit to your mistakes, why should you expect you child to admit to theirs? Children learn by example, so make sure you're setting a good example for them.
Do not put work above your child. Of course it is necessary to work in order to support yourself and your family, but if you are never around, your child is going to feel like you are a stranger, which will make them not want to trust you or be close to you.
As you buckle your child into his or her car seat, you should check to ensure that the shoulder straps are snug – not tight enough to cause red marks or indentations, but not loose enough that the child could wiggle out of the harness. To check whether or not the shoulder restraints are too loose or tight, try to pinch the straps together above the buckle. You should not be able to pinch them together.
A great parenting tip is to encourage your child to eat healthy. You should attempt to do this while they're young because as soon as they grow up, they'll be well accustomed to what they like and what they don't like. Encouraging them to eat healthy can help them form healthy eating habits.
Remember to reward good behavior with praise and recognition. Children usually hear more reprimands for bad behavior than praise for good behavior and that might become discouraging to them. However, if you praise them for specific good behavior that they have exhibited, their confidence will be lifted, and they will exhibit the good behavior more often.
A great parenting tip is to admit when you're wrong. Don't think that just because you're older, that you're smarter and always know what's right. Admitting when you're wrong will make your child respect you more and they'll be more likely to listen to you when you have something to say.
Make sure to give your twins time with you that they don't have to share. All too often twins are thought of as one complete unit. They are separate people and they need time to discover who they are on their own. Make time each week to take one twin to the park or the store with you.
A great parenting tip is to restrict how much time your child can watch television or play video games. Watching too much television or playing video games too much can promote laziness and can possibly lead to an attention disorder. It's best to limit how much time they spend with these activities.
When birthdays or other gift giving holidays come around, instead of taking your child shopping, help them make a present. Not only will your child get to be creative and give a unique gift, but you'll get to spend quality time together. This is especially good if the present is for the child's other parent or another relative.
Make sure you're encouraging good habits from the beginning. Whether it's hygiene or behavioral habits, you want to encourage your child to learn the right behaviors right from the start. It's much easier to teach a child good habits right away than to try and get them to unlearn habits to learn different ones.
Your kids will still love you if your put yourself first. In fact, it will teach them to respect themselves which will in turn make them healthier, happier people when they have their own kids. Taking time for yourself leads you to be calmer, more rational, and a better parent overall.
You can incite healthy eating in your children by not having any junk food in the home. Your child probably won't ask for junk food if you don't have any around. These items should be considered treats that are only provided for special occasions, such as Easter, Christmas and Halloween.
One of the best ways to discipline a child is by putting them in time-out. Stopping them in their tracks and putting them in a spot like a corner will teach them that they cannot do certain things. Before actually putting them in time-out, give them a warning. Then, if they continue to do this behavior, follow through with your threat.
One of the most important tips that can be offered when it comes to parenting is to be consistent. Never say you are going to do something then not carry through with it. This will lead your children to believe that you are not serious which could be very harmful when it comes to serious matters.
Having teens can be hard, but taking the time to talk with them, and listen to them, will have long lasting positive results. Let them know that you love them no matter what, and try to identify with what they are experiencing. Too often we parents gloss over their feelings to lay down the law, when a little understanding and a good heart-to-heart can make all the difference.
Sharing household tasks with your child can build self-esteem and create a sense of belonging that will benefit your child in many ways. Age appropriate chores give your child the feeling that they are part of a family team and it also gives a feeling of pride in a job well done.
Hopefully your new found and useful parenting tips can assist you with being the best parent you possibly can be. Now that you've read through all of this helpful advice, it's a safe bet that someday you'll be receiving one of those coffee mugs that proudly states, "World's #1 Parent!"

Hello, world!
Welcome to Moonshot Nexus - a social enterprise to help give anyone, anywhere access to the first resources and inspiration they need to participate in the new space economy.
I built Moonshot in an attempt to help cultivate people who are bold enough to reach beyond our planet to create new opportunities that will enrich our world with new opportunities and expand our world into the universe. If this resonates with you, you're in the right place.
This simple bulletin board and forum is intended to be an online incubator of talent and entrepreneurs across the globe, where we can overcome the tyranny of distance to share and learn from one another as we discuss, inspire and start to build new opportunities for creating disproportionately great opportunities for life on and beyond earth.
If you want to help build the new commercial space age, this is the social nexus for you.
Use this medium to share and discuss any questions, ideas or interesting articles you've read. If you have job openings, post a link to your job page and tag the discussion as a job. As long as your content is helpful or interesting to anyone in the business of space, then you're doing the right thing.
If you have something big to say, I'd love to invite you to write a polished article to project your voice beyond our echo chamber. You can see examples of these articles at https://blog.moonshotspace.co/
Every month, I'll curate the most engaging discussions and blog posts and push them out through our newsletter and social media. This is all intended to help you be a part of a valuable network and to give you a greater voice and platform to engage people from around the world.
Be kind. Be helpful. Be Enlightening. A rising tide lifts all boats, so let's together lift them into space.

We automatically add job and event notifications to our monthly newsletter, so for these kinds of notices please fill out the URL and the date fields. We use the date field to determine if the notice is still active or stale.
Upvoting and Downvoting
This is a social bulletin board system, so we rely on upvotes and downvotes to democratically determine which notices and discussions should stay in the limelight. Think of this like a Hacker News for space.
Each month we send out a newsletter, summarising the news, discussions, jobs and events posted in this forum. Your contributions directly impact what gets included, so share away!
Show and Tell, Mentorship and Feedback
This forum came to be because I wanted to start creating a way to connect promising space talent, entrepreneurs and investors across the globe; to create a digital incubator of new space-enabled teams, projects and businesses. Moonshot is founded in the mantra of 'a rising tide lifts all boats', so use the show tag to share updates about your startup, to practice pitching, and to get feedback and advice from others in the community.
Easy Sharing
For an easy way to share interesting web pages automatically, save the code below as a bookmark in your web browser. Any time you're reading a web page you'd like to share just click the bookmark and it will automatically create a new discussion thread on here!
It will look a little something like this:
An update to the above in case anyone is reading this.
I'm upgrading our web infrastructure for Nexus. The blog will now be hosted on our own server and will be more tightly integrated with these forums. I've also developed a fully functional job board and public events calendar, which can be accessed through the new blog. I'm also building some additional features such as the ability to rate other members and to book appointments with volunteering mentors. This is all in an effort to build a hub for space innovation and commercialisation support - our rising tide!
Once the new infrastructure is launched, I'll collate the monthly newsletter from those mechanisms rather than threads on here. I'll also be encouraging more people here to write and post long-form articles via our blog to generate new discussion and share valuable information.
Thanks for your understanding and patience as I overhaul the forum to suit the new infrastructure.

The Victorian Law Reform Commission is also asked to consider whether the application of the CMIA should be further extended to the Children's Court. In particular, the Commission should consider:
- the Court of Appeal decision in CL, A Minor (by his Litigation Guardian) v Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) (obh Lee) [2011} VSCA 227;
- whether the process for determining fitness to stand trial in the Crimes (Mental Impairment and Unfitness to be Tried Act) 1997 should be adapted for application in the Children's Court;
- in relation to fitness and the defence of mental impairment, whether a different process for determination should apply in the Children's Court than any that may be proposed by the Commission with regards to the Magistrates' Court;
- what orders should be available in the Children's Court on a finding of unfitness or not guilty because of mental impairment;
- whether the current jurisdiction of the Children's Court should apply, so that the Court could hear and determine any matter before it if fitness or mental impairment should arise, apart from those currently required to be committed to the Supreme Court.
The Commission is granted an extension of time to report on this reference to 30 June 2014.

Creating a fun and safe space for your child can be quite a challenge. Every detail and element in the bedroom is crucial for your child's physical and mental health. With Lifetime Kidsrooms' bedroom configurator, you no longer need to worry about designing the perfect space for your child!
The bedroom configurator is essentially a free online design application for kids bedrooms. This simple and smart function allows you to plan how the space will work by customising the dimensions of your room and inserting real products into your model. It also allows you to see the different colour combinations of flooring, walls and your kids beds in 3D or 2D, making it much easier for you to visualise the final design of your kids' bedroom.
Do try out this easy-to-use bedroom design application, and do ensure you have Adobe FlashPlayer enabled: http://lifetime.unicaster.net/. Below are some useful tips to keep in mind when designing your kid's bedroom.
Making sure your child's bedroom is spacious yet fun is not an easy task. To achieve both, you would need to choose kids furniture that will fit nicely into the space that you have. With the bedroom configurator, you can decide which Lifetime kids furniture would fit best into the space and it also allows you to decide where you would like the furniture to be placed.
Choosing the right furniture for the room is important in making the room seem big rather than small and clustered. Rather than choosing a bed that is too big and out of place, choose a smaller and more functional bed that fits perfectly in the corner or along the walls of the bedroom to make the room seem more spacious.
Your child's bedroom is what makes them feel safe and at home. To do so, you can design the room to be cosy and colourful. By using the configurator, you can easily find empty spaces in the room and decorate it with something fun or useful such as additional storage units or adding a slide to the modular Lifetime Kidsrooms kids bed.
As aforementioned, the configurator also allows you to play around with the colours and the design of the room. We recommend a standard colour theme for your child's room to make it look cleaner yet engaging at the same time. Bright colours would be best for kids as it is proven to boost creativity and happiness.
Allow your kids to play around with the configurator and get them involved in the designing process of their room. Your kids bedroom is the area in which they will be spending most of their time, so it's imperative for them to feel like the space is theirs. It would create a sense of belonging for your kids.
This space is also crucial for your child's future growth so letting them be part of its design process would definitely benefit them by letting them know that they have the freedom to explore and be creative with and in their bedroom.
Once you have created a gorgeous bedroom design with the configurator, do come down to our showroom to have a look at some of the kids furniture that we have in store. Every child dreams of a fun bedroom where they can play and learn in, make this dream happen for your kids and try out the Lifetime Kidsrooms design configurator!

With industrial hemp farming in the U.S. now legal, here is what organic brands need to know and challenges ahead remain.
Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is poised to hit the organic market in a very serious way, and brands do not want to be left behind. It is expected to become a $2.1 billion market by 2020.
If you've been confused by seeing the terms "organic marijuana", "organic cannabis" or "organic pot" lately, you are not alone. We set the record straight on what terms are allowed to be used and discuss which states and organizations are certifying "clean" cannabis.
Nutiva founder John Roulac played an incredibly important role in making U.S.-grown organic hemp a reality. In a story that very few people know, we retrace how this perilous and fascinating journey has come full circle. It's one of the most inspirational stories in the industry today and shows one man's determination to fight for what he believes...

Someone in my Telegram Telcoin group that I've talked to for months say they were a victim of ETH theft by a known ETH scammer in Telegram. This person sent me proof of pictures they took of conversations with the scammer. Essentially the person I know sent the ETH thief $5000 worth of ETH but the scammer never sent him Telcoin coins in return that they agreed on (Friend didn't know this person was a known scammer until AFTER he got scammed). Scammer claimed he even had other people waiting to trade his coins with him, the scammer will continue to steal from them too. Scammer did provide his ETH address to send the ETH to him. We tracked the Telegram scammer's address on Etherscan and he has multiple wallets. His main wallet on Etherscan is...
(We are 100% certain it's his wallet)
Scammer has $150,000 worth of 1 particular coin, the same telegram he's on scamming and stealing from people claiming he'll trade his Telcoin for ETH. Community admin don't want to do anything to even ban him even though they have proof he's a known scammer.
What can be done knowing only his Etherscan main Wallet Address? People who steal from weak are scum of the earth. My friend doesn't even want his money back at this point, he just wants to see the scammer lose everything to know what it feels like.
How to take away this scammer's $150,000 worth of stolen coin from him knowing ONLY his etherscan main wallet address?

Associated Press & KTUU
A massive earthquake in Japan late Thursday created a tsunami which has set off warnings along portions of the Alaska coastline and earlier this morning pushed rising water through the Aleutian Chain.
The surge has already passed through portions of the chain between Attu and Nikolski, which were subsequently downgraded to a tsunami advisory. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric report showed water rising about 5 feet early this morning in Shemya. The levels in Adak and Dutch Harbor were about 18 inches.
The remainder of Alaska's coast through South Central and Southeast were issued a tsunami watch.
Emergency Management Specialist David Lee at Joint Base Elmendorf/ Richardson says there are no reports of damage and no significant is damage expected on the coast of Alaska, although that could still depend on the surge in different areas.
A statement from the Kenai Borough Peninsula said evacuation from low lying areas was not required, but advised people to stay out of harbors and off beaches because of possible strong currents.
Besides southern Alaska, a warning was issued for the Washington, Oregon and California coasts.
The initial waves which struck Hawaii about 5am were described as moderate, in one location pushing water over the breakwater but not into the hotels lining the beach. Elsewhere in Hawaii the waves were about three feet.
At a magnitude of 8.9, Thursday's earthquake is the largest in Japan's recorded history. Its center was off the northern coast by the city of Honshu and official reports say caused major damage in broad areas of northern Japan.
Some international flights to Toyko are being diverted to Anchorage, including three jets last night. The passengers were taken to Anchorage hotels.

Budget still 'A work in progress'
OLYMPIA -- Here's a bad sign for anyone expecting the Legislature to conclude its business by midnight Thursday: Senate Republican Leader Mark Schoesler this morning described the supplemental budget, and two controversial bills, as "a work in progress."
Budget leaders of both chambers have been negotiating differences in the supplemental budgets passed by the House and Senate. No deal has been announced yet, and time is running out to do the work of double-checking and printing the massive spending document before the deal can be introduced in the Senate for a vote.
Two other controversial issues, a bill to add scores on statewide tests for students to teacher evaluations, and the continuation of a fee on document recordings to help projects to fight homelessness, were on a list of bills presented to the Rules Committee as items the Senate could take up today. When Senate Democratic Leader Sharon Nelson said her caucus has problems with both bills, Schoesler said they are, like the budget, a work in progress.
That prompted a question from Lt. Gov. Brad Owen as to when the Legislature might adjourn for good.
The state Constitution, Schoesler said, says it will sine die by midnight Thursday.
"That wasn't my question," Owen replied. Schoesler offered no response, and the Rules Committee approved the list of bills for floor action.
If the Legislature doesn't pass a budget before midnight Thursday, or has other major issues hanging fire, they could be called back into an overtime session by Gov. Jay Inslee.

Tea pot as described, amazing shape and colour, the walls are thick and material is heavy. The package is super safe and some gifts come together. Thanks a lot, best recommendations!
Very lovely set. Arrived very quickly and well packed. If I have anything to complain about, there is a noticeable nick in the lid which seems to have happened during manufacturing, not finishing. There is a tiny bit of bubbling in the saucer as well which is not very noticeable. I think the pieces should have been checked better before shipping. A free tea cloth and bamboo tongs were included in the package.
Everything is good as a gift tongs and towels! Only i thought that clay would not be rough)

Mercedes-Benz Reaches Engine Milestone In Brazil
By Mauro Belo Schneider
Mercedes-Benz announced it has manufactured its three millionth heavy-duty vehicle engine in Brazil. The milestone engine is an OM 457 LA diesel, manufactured at the company's São Bernardo do Campo plant. Mercedes-Benz began manufacturing engines in Brazil in 1956.
"No other manufacturer has reached this production number in Brazil," said Philipp Schiemer, Mercedes-Benz do Brasil's president and CEO for Latin America. "It is with pride and satisfaction that I share this historic moment with our team of employees and suppliers.
"Our brand introduced the concept of diesel in Brazil 61 years ago, when we opened our plant of trucks and buses. Since then, it has not stopped to improve products and to innovate, as it was made when the first electronic engine for commercial vehicles was launched with the technology BlueTec 5."
Engines manufactured in Brazil are sold in the local market and are exported to 60 other countries. They are used in light, medium, semi heavy and extra heavy trucks, as well as all of the company's lines of bus chassis.
"We count today with the assembling line of OM 900 family of four- and six-cylinders, following Euro 3 to Euro 5 regulation, with potency ratings from 116 to 243 kW (156 to 326 hp)," said Carlos Santiago, vice-president of Operations at Mercedes-Benz do Brasil. "Another line is for the assembling of OM 400 family of six-cylinders, Euro 3 to Euro 5, with potencies from 257 and 380 kW (345 and 510 hp)."
Mercedez-Benz also supplies to other units of Daimler Group worldwide. Since August 2017, the Brazilian plant started exporting the OM 460 Euro 3 engine to Daimler in Wörth, Germany, to be used at Actros, Arocs and Zetros models sold in Africa and the Middle East.
The São Bernardo do Campo plant is the largest of Daimler outside Germany and it is the only facility that produces engines, gears, axles, trucks and bus chassis.

For more information or support complying with these regulations, email email@example.com
Smoke Free Air Act (SFAA)
The SFAA prohibits smoking and the use of electronic cigarettes in nearly all workplaces. This includes areas near hospital entrances, in parks, beaches and pedestrian plazas. The SFAA also prohibits the use of smokeless tobacco at sports arenas and recreational areas that issue tickets.
The SFAA requires the posting of "No Smoking, Electronic Cigarette Use, and Smokeless Use" signs to be clear and visible in any indoor space where smoking, using e-cigarettes or using smokeless tobacco is not allowed.
These signs must be:
The person in control of the areas where smoking and vaping are prohibited is responsible for the compliance and enforcement of the SFAA.
Under the SFAA, smoking and use of e-cigarettes is banned in all indoor common areas of buildings with three or more units.
Residential buildings with three or more units are required to create a policy on smoking and disclose it to tenants and prospective tenants. Learn more about smoke-free housing, including tips for making your building smoke-free.
All hookah-serving establishments are required to have a permit. No new permit applications are currently being accepted. Permitted establishments must only serve non-tobacco shisha. Hookah establishments must display warning signs about the health risks of hookah smoke. People younger than 21 are not permitted to enter hookah-serving establishments.
New York State Clean Indoor Air Act (CIAA)
Similar to the SFAA, the CIAA prohibits smoking and the use of e-cigarettes in certain public areas and covers New York State (including New York City). In addition to the SFAA restrictions, the CIAA prohibits smoking and the use of e-cigarettes:
CIAA requires the posting of "No Smoking" or "Smoking" signs, or "No Vaping" or "Vaping" signs, or a sign with the international "No Smoking" symbol, to be clear and visible in these outdoor areas.
The person in control of the smoking and vaping prohibited areas is responsible for the compliance and enforcement of the CIAA.
Retail Sales of Tobacco Products and E-cigarettes
The number of tobacco and e-cigarette retail dealer licenses are capped. This means there are a maximum number of licenses allowed in each district. No new tobacco or e-cigarette retail dealer licenses will be issued for a district until the number of licenses falls below the cap.

New school threats law put to the test in Moscow
UPDATED: Tue., April 3, 2018
In the wake of threats made against Moscow School District last week, community members, parents and students expressed their concerns and frustration that the suspect was not taken into custody following his alleged threat. However, Moscow Police say they did more than they could have done six days earlier.
Thursday morning, Michael Mastro Jr., 26, of Moscow, allegedly posted a comment on YouTube threatening to "shoot up" two Moscow schools April 18. Mastro Jr. was cited and released for the threat after it was noticed by police in Mansfield, Texas.
It is only under the newly revised Idaho State Law, 18-3302I, that took effect March 23, that officers were able to cite and release the man, said Moscow Police Chief James Fry. Fry said if the threats had come just six days earlier – under the old law – officers would not have been able to even cite Mastro Jr. because he was not on school property when the alleged threats were made.
Under Idaho's new law, Mastro Jr. was cited Thursday for allegedly threatening violence upon school grounds, a misdemeanor. He is scheduled to appear in Latah County 2nd District Court April 11 and is facing up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Idaho State Law dictates that except for a few select cases, such as domestic violence or assault, officers cannot arrest a person on a misdemeanor unless the officer is physically present at the time of the incident, Fry said. Threatening violence upon school grounds does not fall under that list of exceptions.
"The reason why we had to cite and release is because it was a misdemeanor that took place not in our presence, so by law we couldn't arrest – that's why we did that," Fry said.
Initial discussions about revising the old law began in September after a similar incident occurred at Moscow High School, Fry said.
He said after the September incident, which also involved social media, it became apparent that the old law was not allowing police to keep the community safe and the law needed to be changed in order to meet the advancements in technology that have occurred since 2006, when the law was originally written.
Fry said threats made through "electronic means" were specifically included in the revised version to allow officers to investigate threats made off of school grounds.
He said while some parts of the old law were outdated, other parts remained consistent, such as it being classified as a misdemeanor charge.
Brian Armes, the Manager of the Idaho Office of School Safety and Security, said Monday that when the Fraternal Order of Police, Rep. Pat McDonald, R-Boise, and Rep. Wendy Horman, R-Ammon, were trying to pass the bill, one of the greatest concerns was to avoid inadvertently crippling a high school student's life by making them a felon.
He said teenagers often make rash choices and say things before thinking through the consequences, and while threats should not be taken lightly, officers should also be given the ability to investigate the threats and their validity.
The new law states if an officer's investigation finds the suspect has weapons in order to carry out their threats, police have the ability to arrest the suspect on a felony.
Felony threatening violence upon school grounds carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
Moscow School District Superintendent Greg Bailey said he spoke with Armes on Monday morning and discussed the possibility of an amendment to the law that would make it a felony for a person aged 21 or older to threaten violence to a school, or possibly give officers the ability to hold the suspect in custody until the situation is reviewed, Bailey said.
"If an adult person is the one making the threat, I would like to see a harsher consequence," he said
The law is still relatively new, said Armes, adding that it is only because the bill was signed into law with a emergency clause that it went into effect immediately on March 23.
"If it hadn't been signed with the emergency clause, it wouldn't have gone into effect until July," Armes said.
"For better or worse, Moscow was the first to deal with an incident that this law covered. Prior to this law, there would have been absolutely nothing law enforcement could have done," Armes said.
Mastro Jr. has since contacted the Daily News to issue a public apology. He also took to social media to voice that apology.
"I understand people are upset about my insensitive disgusting crude joke," Mastro Jr. wrote. "…To make things entirely clear it was a very bad joke. I am not the person people are saying I am. I have a happy wonderful life with amazing people around me in this community… If you know me or who I am you know I would never do that. I really am sorry."
His Facebook page has since been deleted.
Fry urged community members to contact their legislators if they are upset about the new law.
"We don't make the laws, we enforce the laws," Fry said. "If people see a need for laws to be changed, they need to contact their representatives; I want to assure the community we are here and take it very seriously."

MAY 10, 1864.-Skirmish at Lost River Gap, W. Va.
Numbers 1.-Brigadier General Benjamin F. Kelley, U. S. Army.
Numbers 2.-Colonel Jacob Higgins, Twenty-second Pennsylvania Cavalry.
Numbers 3.-Lieutenant Joseph G. Isenberg, Adjutant Twenty-second Pennsylvania Cavalry.
Numbers 4.-Brigadier General John D. Imboden, C. S. Army.
Numbers 1. Report of Brigadier General Benjamin F. Kelley, U. S. Army.
CUMBERLAND, MD., May 11, 1864.
Major Myers, of the Ringgold Cavalry, has just arrived here, and reports that yesterday morning about daylight they were attacked at the junction of Winchester and Moorefield pike with the Lost River road from Brock's Gap by Generals Rosser and Imboden, with an overwhelming force; were driven back via the Grassy Lick road, through Romney and Springfield, to Green Spring, where they crossed the river, and are now at Old Town. Rosser and Imboden are reported in Romney this a. m. with a force of cavalry, mounted infantry, and artillery, estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000 men. Colonel Higgins is out of ammunition and forage. I cannot send it to him by train for fear of capture. Have sent to New Creek for ammunition for him, and have suggested to him to move up here at once, when I can supply his wants and get him ready tore cross the river again. I fear Rosser and Imboden intend to attack this place and New Creek, or perhaps move round me and go into West Virginia west of the mountains. Although assigned to this command by order of Secretary of War, it is my understanding that my command is not an independent one, but is embraced still in your department. I shall so act unless otherwise ordered. Colonel Strother can explain to you the exact position of the place where the attack was made. Major Myers says they lost their train, but thinks the loss not severe in men, probably not over 50 in killed, wounded, and missing.
Major-General SIGEL.
Numbers 2. Report of Colonel Jacob Higgins, Twenty-second Pennsylvania Cavalry.
CUMBERLAND, May 12, 1864.
GENERAL: I have the honor to report that I fell back to Cumberland by direction of General Kelley, for ammunition, rations, and forage. I am getting my horses shod, and it will take a few days before my command will be able to move. I burnt the wagons but saved the horses. I have about 40 men missing in all.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Colonel, Commanding Scouting Party.
Major-General SIGEL.

Rabbi Yehuda Dunin made a trip to Spain to meet with Rabbi Eli Hecht, who has remained incarcerated in a Spanish jail since his arrest at the Madrid airport after he was found with 4 kilos of cocaine, having been duped into transporting a package without knowing of its true contents. Rabbi Dunin is one of the major activists working on securing Hecht's freedom.
The visit comes after that of Rabbi Yosef Gafni and a number of visits paid by Madrid's chief rabbi.
Upon his return to Israel, Rabbi Dunin relayed the horrifying conditions under which Hecht is being held, adding, "Eli needs many, many prayers and chapters of Tehilim (to be said in his behalf)…"
It has been 3 months since Rabbi Eli Hecht was imprisoned. His conditions are harsh and he is not surrounded by any Jews.
"Eli knows of the extensive activities being conducted for his release, and the Chabad community's readiness to help simply warms his heart," Dunin said, adding, "But his situation will require Tefilos…"
The community has been asked to pray and give charity in the merit of Eliyahu ben Rachel.
Those wanting to help the release efforts can call Rabbi Dunin at +972 544263763.
Alone in his cell, with no co-religionists in his midst, Hecht's mood is for the most part sad. Letters that were sent to him lifted his spirits in the darkness of jail.
Mail can be sent through email@example.com or forwarded directly to the prison:

Business Rules are skipped in London if their filter_condition has more than one conditions and one of them contains 'HASITEMVARIABLE'.
Steps to Reproduce
On a London instance,
1. Add a new variable of Type 'Select Box' to any of the OOB catalog items, i.e. 'Apple iPad 3'
2. Create a couple of Questions for this variable.
3. Try the catalog item, in order to generate a sc_task record
4. Create a new Business Rule on sc_task and add a filter_condition with TWO conditions, one of which on variables:
variablesHASITEMVARIABLE:21b09111db1c3300f9bc3a433a961974=b^short_descriptionLIKEOrder from vendor or move from in-stock inventory^EQ
where '21b09111db1c3300f9bc3a433a961974' is the sys_id of the variable created in step 1 and'b' is one of its questions' values.
5. Trigger the Business Rule
Expected Result:
The business rule should run
Actual Result:
The business rule is skipped
In London: Move the variable part of the "filter condition" to the "condition" field in the Business Rule.
This issue is fixed in Madrid. Please upgrade to the fixed version.

A Year Of Bute Park, Cardiff – January
As part of becoming more aware of the changing seasons and the challenges that each season brings, I'm starting a monthly observation of Cardiff's biggest and best known and loved parks – Bute Park.
As well as being one of the capital's most enviable commuter routes with the Taff Trail weaving alongside the River Taff, it boasts a wealth of wildlife and chances to engage with the natural world. On a clear day, I love to wander along some of the lesser trod pathways that wind between the Taff and the Dock Feeder Canal. So that's exactly what I did for the first instalment of A Year Of Bute Park!
Now, I'm not completely blessed in the photography department, I'm out of practice, I've got my girlfriend's hand-me-down camera and I'm borrowing her mid-range lens (great for lovely views, a bit hit or miss for feathered friends!). However, I still managed to catch a few more charismatic birds, and spot a few camera-shy pals whilst wandering through the different habitats. Definitely given me that kick up the bum to really start nailing this camera stuff! Bring it, 2018!
A few species I spotted
(Not extensive, I know they find a lot more there, including woodpeckers and a few of the smaller, shy species!):
Carrion Crow
Common Gull
Great Tit
Grey Heron
House Sparrow
Wood Pigeon

'Best pals' again as May and Trump get down to business at Davos
Donald Trump predicted a "tremendous" increase in trade between the US and the UK in an intervention that has encouraged Downing Street to believe he is picking up the tempo in striking a post-Brexit trade deal.
Meeting Theresa May in Davos, the president dismissed as "false rumours" suggestions of a falling out after he shared videos posted by a British far-right group. He told the prime minister: "We love your country."
During the bilateral meeting, which lasted for about 40 minutes, government officials were especially encouraged by the presence of Gary Cohn, a powerful Trump adviser, who is understood to have talked in detail about the possibilities for future trade between the two countries. The former Goldman Sachs president is director of the national economic

A hobby is a great thing to have in your life. Exploring different hobbies can help you find the one you absolutely love. The article below provides you with all of the information you need to know, so check it out.
To relax, try taking up fishing for a hobby. All this hobby requires is a quiet fishing spot and some fishing supplies. Find out if you are required to have a permit. Fishing can get you a little peace from the day.
Fishing is a truly great hobby. Fishing is a hobby that never gets old. People have always enjoyed fishing, and they always will. It does require quite a bit of patience, but the excitement that also comes along with it when that big fish didn't get away makes it worth it in the end. You may fish for food or you may catch and release.
Look online to learn more about your hobby. If your hobby is a special niche, you could possibly build a website that ranks highly in the SERPs. You love your hobby, but a website or blog could make you a bit of money that you can use to finance your passion.
Sewing is always a great hobby you can get into. When you begin sewing, it is possible to start making lots of decorative items such as pillow and drapes or even clothing. Sewing is something that many enthusiasts enjoy in their down time.
If you're a frequent traveler, you can start a hobby by collecting different things from your travels. You might choose to collect items like spoons, pottery, postcards or even wine. The collection will remind you of all your travels.
Get together with your mom to enjoy a great hobby. You could take a cooking class with each other. You don't have to be a great cook to learn a lot from a class. Taking a cooking class together offers you the opportunity to compete and to cooperate. Search the Internet for local cooking classes.
Organization in your hobby area is key for enjoying your hobby. Organization is key to being able to find what you're looking for and to help you quickly get started. You will also be safer as you work. You don't need to get injured while working on the hobby due to carelessness where you left something dangerous out.
Look for a hobby making buddy to share your interest with. Even if you're just working with them a few times a month, this makes you take some time to do your hobby. You will build friendships and bonds with others who share your passion and interests.
For younger kids, think about what they like and get them interested in hobbies using that information. Kids who like to dance can take dance classes, kids who like trains can be bought train sets.
If you're interested in taking on a new hobby, continue browsing through articles that are similar to this one. If there is something in particular you would love to try, stop procrastinating! Stop wasting time by being inactive, get going and pursue those fun hobbies!

The After Party
February News
Adriane here, just touching base and letting you know what's new for HPF7:
1. Due to a scheduling error, the festival will be on April 13, 2019.
2. We will be at Satellite Bar this year. I know that parking can be a beast, but there are places to park if you don't mind a short walk, and there's access to the light rail nearby.
3. You've asked and I'm making it happen. We're setting up mobile payments this year. We will have Paypal, Venmo, and hopefully Square to choose from. More on that soon.
4. We're shaking things up for the raffle again. If you have any ideas or requests of things you think would be nice to raffle at this all ages show, send us a facebook message! Please note: due to limited space, signage, and because I number and catalog the items before each festival, I cannot accept donations the day of the festival. However, we do appreciate raffle donations and if you just let us know ahead of time, I'll be sure to plan to display your donations and promote your business appropriately.
5. We have some great looking shirt designs underway.
6. Vendors, we will send you information if you'd like to pay your fees ahead of time. I'm still finalizing the details. Non-profits need extra paperwork and verification than creating a personal or standard business account. But I see you and it will happen.
7. I never made the store on this site because it was difficult to set us up with the 501c3 status. I am exploring other options, such as Etsy, to sell off tees from previous festivals with a heavy price cut. All of this helps fund the 4/4 Foundation and give us operational costs for next year, so we appreciate you.

If you want FS bands, look for me working the registration table at the BAFS 2016 HH.
If you want FS bands, look for me working the registration table at the BAFS 2016 HH.
Boomer - can you put two aside for me please? I paypal-ed Steve on December 23rd and never received them.
Are there any left following happy hour? Or do I need to kludge together my own? Or, as seems most likely, I'll just be BAFS2016 incognito.
If you paid me for some bands to be delivered via US post and you have not received them, please PM me. I will send you replacements at no charge.
Once I know how many I have left over after that, I will make them available once again. Keep an eye on this thread.
Okay, neon green band coveters, it looks like I have about a dozen left.
PM me if you want any, and we'll work something out.
I got mine in the mail today. Thanks!
My two finally arrived in the mail today. As I picked up two at the kickoff HH to make up for the missing mailed bands, I'll kick in once again to SteveO's paypal account and offer two bands to anyone who shows up to the Team 12 6:00pm SnowFest gathering this Friday at Cap City Brewery in Shirlington.
It's still possible to acquire one of the highly coveted, limited edition, Freezing Saddles, neon green bands. I don't plan on ordering another batch next year, so these may end up being the only 250 in existence. I have a handful left that I will award at the final happy hour, providing I receive worthwhile entries as outlined below.
1 - You cannot already have one. If you already have one or more bands, you are ineligible. If you used to and you broke, lost or gave yours away, then you are eligible to enter (sammyiam).
2 - You must be present at the final happy hour to collect (or if you aren't going to be there, you may designate a proxy to pick it up for you). If it's not taken at the HH, then you forfeit the band.
To enter:
Write a haiku or limerick or other short poem form of no more than 5 lines that will make me want to give you a band. It should somehow reference or capture the essence of the band, Freezing Saddles, or both. Clever wordplay is encouraged. Subtle (or silly) metaphor, too. May be humorous or serious: bring a tear to the eye or a chuckle to the throat.
Each person may submit up to two entries. You may either post them here, or PM them to me if you think they are so good you don't want others riffing off your genius.
Contest closes on Wednesday, March 30 at noon.

Low Protein Intake During Pregnancy Raises Progeny's Risk of Future Prostate Cancer, Rat Study Finds
Consumption of a low-protein diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding may increase the risk of male offspring developing prostate cancer later in life, a rat study suggests. The study, "Maternal Low-Protein Diet Impairs Prostate Growth in Young Rat Offspring and Induces Prostate Carcinogenesis With Aging," was published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A. The team of researchers at São Paulo State University's Bioscience Institute (IBB-UNESP) in Brazil previously showed, along with others, that intrauterine exposure to a low-protein diet impairs prostate development in male rats early in life. Their latest study shows that a low intake of protein extends negative effects beyond the progeny's early days, increasing their chances of developing prostate cancer as they age. Researchers performed experiments in laboratory rat models. Pregnant females were fed a diet with only 6% protein, much lower than their normal diet of 17% to 23% protein. Females were divided into three groups: a control group fed the standard diet during pregnancy and lactation, a group fed the low-prot
