CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- New York Times Co. shares gained 7.5% Wednesday on a published report that former American International Group Chairman Maurice "Hank" Greenberg is buying up New York Times stock.
Greenberg has been buying "hundreds of thousands" of shares of the company, the New York Post reported, citing unnamed sources.
The Post said Greenberg is fighting the founding Ochs-Sulzberger family's dual-class stock structure, which allows them to maintain most of the voting power at New York Times Co.
"The Ochs-Sulzberger family has no intention of changing the dual class structure," said Catherine Mathis, a New York Times Co. spokeswoman, in an e-mail.
Shares NYT, +1.20% rose $1.73 to close at $24.76 on heavy volume of 6.6 million shares.
The New York Times had reported earlier this month that Greenberg was mulling possible bids for Tribune Co. TRB, -16.67% or Dow Jones & Co. DJ
Like most newspaper stocks, New York Times shares have declined dramatically in the last three years. The shares have declined to the mid-$20s range from the $45 level they reached in early 2003.
In the interim, newspaper advertising sales have been flat to down by a mid-single-digit percentage, with particular weakness in large metropolitan markets. Categories such as classified automotive, retail, airlines and technology have been weak, and a shift to online readership has depressed circulation revenues. The implementation of the federal Do Not Call list has also made it harder for newspapers to recruit new subscribers.
Newspaper shareholders have been notably impatient over the past year. Knight Ridder's biggest shareholders pushed that company toward a sale in November 2005, and the company was subsequently sold to McClatchy Co. MNI, -2.75% earlier this year.
Beginning in June of 2006, Tribune's largest shareholder, the Chandler Trust, began demanding drastic steps to turn around that company's stock price, including the possible sale of some or all of the company. See related story.
Neither Tribune nor Knight Ridder had dual-class stock structures, enabling the shareholder revolts that turned those companies upside down. Several New York Times shareholders have demanded that the Ochs-Sulzberger family get rid of its supervoting structure so they can push for a similar sale.

The woman who was only identified as Wanjiru Kamami or Shiro, published an advertisement on a Kenyan newspaper complete with her husband's image, his phone number and his National Identification number. The translated ad above reads:
"This is to inform the general public that the person whose photograph appears above is the husband to Wanjiru Kamami (Shiro) since 1982, (sic) therefore if you see him getting lied to with school girls or young women at the market, tell him to go home or call my number 0751993571."Many Kenyans expressed shock on the woman's desperate move while others found the whole situation hilarious.

Title: Tunnel Of Love
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Label: Columbia
Year: 1987
Songs: Ain't Got You/Tougher Than The Rest/All That Heaven Will Allow/Spare Parts/Cautious Man/Walk Like A Man/Tunnel Of Love/Two Faces/Brilliant Disguise/One Step Up/When You're Alone/Valentine's Day
Written by: Bruce Springsteen
Produced by: Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau and Chuck Plotkin
Thoughts: When I bought this album, I honestly thought I was going to hate it. I got it merely as an obligation and part of my desire to have all of Springsteen's albums. (I do have them all, save for Tracks.) I thought it was going to be all mushy with eighties production values all over. Well, I was wrong. This is a wonderful album, but there are some eighties production that gets in the way and still lingers from Born In The U.S.A. My favorite track is "Spare Parts", a story about a couple that has a baby out of wed-lock and the man runs away, leaving the girl to raise the child. She contemplates on giving the kid the whole 'Moses' treatment by putting him in the water, but she doesn't. The track is highlighted by this searing guitar solo by Bruce. All the other tracks are pretty good, too, but you can't help thinking "What would it have been like with the E Street Band?"

On the heels of the regional tripartite single tourism visa system, stakeholders in the sector have embarked on an ambitious plan to overhaul the potential of Lake Kivu to boost sector revenue.
The lake is arguably one the most beautiful water bodies in EAC.
Improving tourism infrastructure around Lake Kivu, in Western Province, will boost the tourism industry in the country thus increasing revenues from the sector, officials have said.
Lake Kivu is arguably one of the most beautiful water bodies in the region, offering wonderful sceneries exemplified in the radiant panorama the lake affords a viewer checking out the surrounding lush and hills.
However, tourism around Lake Kivu is still not fully exploited and still needs to be revamped, according to officials.
Rica Rwigamba, the head of tourism at the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), told The New Times that although domestic tourism in the areas surrounding Lake Kivu is quite developed, there is need to bring in more tourists.
That will require diversifying products available alongside the lake and improving infrastructure, mainly the hospitality industry.
The apparent need to revamp tourism in the area and boost its revenue is what pushed the government to commission a study on which activities could stimulate the flow of local and international tourists to the western part of the country.
The study, commissioned by the Ministry of Trade and Industry and RDB, took over a year to complete and was conducted by German experts.
The Kivu-belt tourism sub-master plan, as the study is known, was developed "in order to transform the region around Kivu into one of the most competitive tourist destinations in the region," according to Rwigamba.
On Wednesday, officials from various ministries and government institutions met with Karongi business community to discuss the implementation of the master plan.
They also toured the areas which have been identified as strategic for the set up of tourism-related infrastructure.
Timely for Single Visa policy
These developments are timely as they come in the face of the new single tourist visa system agreed upon by three East African Community partner states; Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda.
The single visa policy, that seeks to boost tourism in the region, allows a tourist to pay for only a single visa and access borders of the tripartite states. The visa policy takes effect in January.
The study focuses on five districts surrounding Lake Kivu, namely; Karongi, Rubavu, Nyamasheke, Rusizi and Rutsiro.
However, it gives much weight to Rusizi, Karongi and Rubavu as the regions with high potential of attracting tourists.
The plan suggests the establishment of hotels, spas, golf courses, resorts, marinas and conference halls, among others.
According to Rwigamba, investing in tourism infrastructure development will stimulate other activities, including the making of artefacts, streamlining maritime transport, boosting sports activities on the lake and fishing, among others.
"With this master plan not only are we bringing investors, but also we are having a plan to market this area much more," Rwigamba said, describing it as "a very important milestone" in the development of tourism in the country.
She also said the plan is in line with the country's programme to diversify tourism products so that when people come to visit they have a lot of products to choose from, which she said would also see an increase in revenues from tourism.
The Kivu belt attraction
The Kivu belt adds to the existing Congo-Nile trail, a 227-kilometre stretch from Rubavu to Rusizi districs via Karongi and Nyamasheke districts in Western Province. The 10 days hiking trail offers many delights for a tourist, such as coffee and tea routes and natural beaches along the shores of Lake Kivu, among others.
It also adds to Nyungwe National Park, in the south-western part of the country, which offers tracking chimpanzees and bird watching, and canopy walk, among others.
"The Kivu belt is a good addition [to the existing tourism products] because people will be able to do different [tourism] activities in this region," Rwigamba said.
According to officials, efforts are being made to lure investors for the implementation of the master plan.
The Kivu belt tourism sub master plan puts the cost of investment in the area at between $50 (about Rwf32 billion) and $80 million (about Rwf52 billion).
Addressing Karongi business community on Wednesday, the Minister for Trade and Industry, Francois Kanimba, urged them to seize the opportunity to develop the planned infrastructure in the area.
He said it should be a prime responsibility of locals to invest in the area of tourism development rather than waiting for foreign investment.
"It is time for everyone to start thinking of which investment they can do to interest tourists," Kanimba said, promising the areas returns on their investment.
"This part of the country has huge investment potential. So you should seize the opportunity and start investing," he added.
In a subsequent interview, Kanimba said government will remain a partner in the development of tourism along the Kivu belt, mainly by looking for investors and creating awareness among the local business community to invest in the sector.

Beyond Birthday Invitations: Finding Birthday Party Accessories And Supplies
Birthday invitations are the key to getting guests excited about your party and any theme you might choose. Once you've sent out the invites, however, you need to gather the perfect party accessories to fulfill the promise of fun your birthday invitation delivered.
Why Birthday Party Decorations are Important
Whether you're having your birthday party on a boat, at a park, in a restaurant, or at your home, it is essential to carry on the theme you've chosen with appropriate decorations. The birthday invitations set the mood; now it's time for you to prepare to dress up the party venue and live up to everyone's expectations. You don't have to spend a lot of money to accomplish this feat, however. You just need your imagination and some good advice!
The most important element in finding perfect birthday party decorations is thinking outside of the proverbial box. Instead of simply choosing balloons and streamers, what other types of accessories could you include to make your birthday celebration truly shine?
For example, if you are planning a 1920s flapper's party, you don't have to be relegated to only black and white tablecloths. Think about incorporating feather plumes into centerpieces or giving out boas to the women to wear. Intertwine faux pearls with strands of Christmas lights to exude a glamorous aura. What about buying wholesale derby hats to pass out as party favors?
Where to Find Party Accessories and Supplies
Use your birthday invitation as a springboard to choose coordinating colors. For example, if you buy birthday invitations with a luau theme, you can use the cheerful magenta, lush greens, and turquoise colors as inspiration for buying brightly colored tablecloths, leis, tropical dishes, cups and napkins, as well as party favors.
You can also bring your birthday invitations directly into a party supplies store to pick accessories that are perfect for your theme. Extending the luau theme, you can look for grass skirts to attach to your tables, as well as faux banana leaves you can use as centerpieces. Why not buy a few tiki torches to really set the theme for your birthday party?
Of course, it's easy to get carried away with party accessories because there are such a wide variety of choices. Therefore, it's a good idea to make a note of the type of party you're having, the number of guests, setting, and your budget. This way, if you are hosting a more formal party, for example, you won't be swayed by colorful noise makers or more casual party supplies since they wouldn't match the ambiance you initially desired.
Tips and Ideas for Preparing the Party Scene
When choosing the right birthday party supplies, keeping it simple will still create a festive atmosphere without the danger of going overboard. If there will be food at your party, a colorful tablecloth that picks up a color in your theme or incorporates your theme through pattern can really help set the mood. Props are another great way to highlight a theme. For example, if you are planning a Mexican fiesta party, you might decorate with bright colors, and to put everyone in the mood, you could hang a couple of sombreros on a focal wall and even set up a piñata.
As long as you stay true to one color scheme and keep your party accessories consistent with your birthday invitations, your guests are sure to enjoy a memorable party and leave you with lasting memories of a fantastic birthday party.

Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors may act not only on cancer, but on the HIV reservoir that persists indefinitely in HIV patients, according to a case report from France.
In a letter published in Annals of Oncology, Jean-Phillipe Spano, MD, PhD, of Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital in Paris, and colleagues reported that while treating an HIV-infected lung cancer patient with the programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor nivolumab (Opdivo), HIV DNA fell from 369 copies/106 cells at day zero to 30 copies/106 cells at day 120.
"We observed a drastic and persistent decrease of HIV DNA," co-author Amelie Guihot MD, PhD, also of Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, told MedPage Today. "For the first time, we saw a drastic decrease of the HIV reservoir with an immune intervention."
"We also saw no side effects of nivolumab in this patient," she added.
Latent HIV reservoirs, which are present largely in lymphoid tissue, hold infected cells that lie dormant and persist despite anti-retroviral therapy. Researchers have been looking at drugs that inhibit immune checkpoints and wake up latent HIV-infected cells, making them more visible to the immune system which then could attack them.
In this report, a 51-year-old man who had been infected with HIV since 1995 was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in May 2015. He relapsed after lobectomy and chemotherapy (cisplatin and pemetrexed) before being treated with nivolumab.
When the patient started nivolumab treatment, his plasma HIV was undetectable (<20 copies/ml). Researchers administered nivolumab injections every 14 days until July 2017. The patient's plasma HIV load progressively increased to 101 copies/ml at day 45, then fell to 31 copies/ml at day 120.
In parallel, T-cell activation increased slightly between days 14 and 45, while PD-1+CD4 and CD8 T-cells declined at day 30. HIV RT and Nef-specific CD8 T-cell frequencies markedly increased from days 30 to 120. Cell-associated HIV DNA decreased from 369 copies/106 cells at day zero to 30 copies/106 cells at day 120.
This may mean that nivolumab induced synergistic "shock and kill" mechanisms, exposing dormant HIV-producing cells to the patient's immune defenses which killed them, the researchers noted.
In a statement, Spano said, "In this patient we observed, as expected, both a re-activation of HIV and an increase in CD8 T cell responses against HIV, which resulted in the drastic decrease in the HIV reservoir, thus leading to a sustained reduction of the HIV reservoirs."
"This is the first demonstration of this mechanism working in humans," he added. "It could have implications for HIV patients, both with and without cancer, as it can work on HIV reservoirs and tumor cells independently."
"This is very exciting, but very preliminary," Timothy Henrich, MD, of the University of California San Francisco, who was not involved with the study, told MedPage Today. "Very few interventions have led to a significant reduction in the amount of HIV DNA within cells."
"In stem cell transplantation, we and others have noticed there have been much larger reductions in the HIV DNA within cells, but when those patients stopped anti-retroviral therapy, the virus recrudesced," Henrich noted. "Whether nivolumab will lead to permanent anti-retroviral-free remission of HIV is not clear. But the fact that there's an increase in the anti-HIV immune response that's associated with the decrease in DNA levels is promising."
Guihot noted that, at this point, the patient in this case will continue anti-retroviral therapy. "It's in his best interest to do so," she said.
She also noted that in an earlier case of a cancer patient with HIV who received nivolumab, the researchers saw no decrease in the reservoir of dormant cells.
In July, Spano and colleagues discussed PD-1 blockade in HIV-infected patients with lung cancer at the International AIDS Society (IAS) HIV Cure and Cancer Forum. At the time they submitted the oral abstract for the meeting, they had HIV DNA levels for only one patient -- the one who did not show a decrease in HIV DNA -- and wrote that nivolumab had "no or little impact on HIV replication or reservoirs." By the IAS meeting date, however, they also had data about the patient whose HIV reservoirs had decreased dramatically.
"Taken together, these two studies suggest a potential effect of PD-1 blockade on anti-HIV CD8 responses," the IAS conference report stated. "Changes in the HIV reservoir were observed in some, but not all, individual studies and further work is needed to establish whether PD-1 blockade has a consistent effect on HIV reservoir size."
"We need to have further enrollment," Henrich noted. "We need to see a larger number of individuals to know whether this will be a specific drug effect for a large majority of folks or only for a few selected individuals. And we need to have more understanding of the safety of this drug in a larger number of HIV-infected individuals, especially if they do not have cancer."
Funding was provided by Institut National du Cancer (INCA) and Agence Nationale de Recherche sur le SIDA et les Hépatites virales.
The researchers reported relationships with Bristol Myers Squibb, MSD, ViiV Healthcare, Janssen-Cilag, Gilead Sciences, Lilly, Boehringer, Roche, Pfizer, and Novartis.

Sir Alex Ferguson's illustrious career as manager of Manchester United is set to be turned into a movie.
Ferguson's 26 years at the helm of the Old Trafford outfit and his subsequent retirement from the game could be depicted in a film based on the Scot's 2011 book 'Sir Alex Ferguson — The Official Manchester United Story Of 25 Years At The Top'.
The movie is the idea of former New York Cosmos and USA star Werner Roth, who has already contacted co-author of the book David Meek for his help in turning Ferguson's story into a film for the big screen.
'The idea is very much in its early stages. But obviously it could be a fascinating portrayal of an exceptional man,' Meek said.
Roth – who made an appearance in the movie Escape To Victory in the early 1980s – is currently looking for ways to fund the film before going ahead with the project.

One of the things I do after meeting with anyone, on the phone or in person, is write a custom followup email. I do this for a number of reasons. One, it helps keep a record of the things the potential client is interested in. Two, it makes sure we are on the same page and I didn't miss anything. Three, it sets expectations for next steps. Below is pretty much an exact replica (including price points specific to the potential client's needs) of one of the followup emails I recently wrote with the only things removed being personal details about the company I was writing to, and I have italicized the email content so you can easily see where it begins. Below the email, I include some additional information.
Great chatting with you earlier today. Based on our conversation, it sounds like you need a new website that is:
- Clean, modern and showcases your company's best qualities – quality, service (going above and beyond), Hoosier/American-made, etc.
- Easy to update and much more secure.
- Has a great foundation for search engine optimization (so you can be found more easily for keywords that matter to your business).
- Mobile friendly – looks great on a desktop, tablet and mobile device.
- Able to help you generate more leads (phone calls and website forms).
Our standard website fee is $5,500 for a website like this. It generally takes 2-3 months from start to finish but can be finished quicker with good communication. My clients typically pay half upfront and half upon completion.
Our clients do not have to pay an ongoing fee if they choose not to. They own 100% of the website's we build and other than hosting and your domain name, have essential no ongoing fees. All clients receive full training on how to update each part of the website (I make a personal video that shows clients how to do this). However, we do have an ongoing WordPress maintenance plan available. It is $200/month and includes an hour of support/work each month along with a number of other items.
As part of that service, we keep your website backed up automatically and updated, so you won't easily fall victim to being hacked. We also create a video that show you how many people have been coming to the website and what things can be done to improve website traffic. We have a service monitor the website for downtime. If at anytime the website goes down, we get a text notification and can begin working to get it back up. I try to be proactive about helping clients with issues so they always have a great running website.
As for search engine optimization, as I mentioned on our call, this requires more of an ongoing commitment and is a pretty time consuming thing. While the new website will give you a great foundation for success, ongoing search engine optimization means creating ongoing content until Google has seen your reputation improve. Our lowest package for this service is 6 months and costs $1,000/month (which includes the website maintenance listed above). To set expectations, after 3 months, our clients are typically receiving web-based leads. After 6 months, they are typically receiving at least several per month. At the end of the 6 months, most companies have no need to continue using this service and can simply go back to the ongoing maintenance plan (if they need it). I'm happy to pass along some current clients you can chat with about their experience going through this search engine optimization – just let me know.
Our goal for search engine optimization is doing better within search results, yes, but the primary goal is to help you bring in new leads that will lead to revenue. If we are able to help you begin getting 5-10 web leads per month and you end up closing two at your average sale price you mentioned during our call of $15,000, you will not only pay for the new website but also the full six months of the search engine optimization. And once our search engine work is done, you should continue getting new leads each month going forward as long as you continue creating new, relevant content.
As I mentioned, I really enjoy working with local businesses and would love to work with you. I only take on a few websites at any one time and do all of the search engine optimization myself as well. While I am not the cheapest solution, I will work hard to make sure your project is successful all the way through. If you have any questions at all or are interested in me pulling together a full proposal for either the website or the ongoing options, please let me know.
As you can see from the above email, I try to set up expectations throughout the process. In some markets, like the one from the email above, a limited SEO engagement of 6 months may allow us to create a process that reaps ongoing benefits. In the above case, the market the client was in was relatively easier to make large SEO gains compared to a mature market with major players (like Amazon, SalesForce, Ford, etc.). However, in many competitive markets, that may not be the case. It may take a longer amount of time or it may not be feasible for SEO to pay for itself. It is important to calculate a potential ROI. If a sale is only worth $10 for example, then a $5-10k SEO campaign will take many sales and a long time to pay off. When I have a call and discuss these things with the potential client, I always want to be frank about the likelihood of SEO being a good fit. While all companies can benefit from SEO, not all of them can afford the short term costs of building up their online reputation.

World champions Germany delivered a statement of intent to their UEFA EURO 2016 rivals on Tuesday by beating Italy 4-1 in an impressive display at Munich's Allianz Arena.
Germany 4-1 Italy
Goals: 1-0 Kroos (24'), 2-0 Götze (45'), 3-0 Hector (59'), 4-0 Özil (pen. 75'), 4-1 El Shaarawy (83')
Get the free official Bundesliga app
Boasting five changes from the side which lost narrowly to England in Berlin on Saturday, Germany began slowly against a typically deep-lying Italian defence. VfL Wolfsburg midfielder Julian Draxler tested Gianluigi Buffon in the 12th-minute, but it took a well-placed finish from Toni Kroos from the edge of the box 12 minutes later to break the deadlock. The opener was enough to spark the world champions into life, with Thomas Müller and Draxler both threatening, before an excellent header from Mario Götze on the stroke of half-time deservedly doubled the hosts' advantage.
After a quiet start to the second period, Joachim Löw's side added to the lead shortly before the hour mark, 1. FC Köln defender Jonas Hector finishing calmly for his first international goal after a brilliant piece of link-up play between Götze and Draxler on the edge of the area left the Italian defence chasing shadows. At the other end, Simone Zaza fired a good chance over shortly afterwards, but Mesut Özil converted from the spot 15 minutes from time after Sebastian Rudy had been brought down to put the seal on an impressive win for Germany that Stephan El Shaarawy's late consolation strike did little to spoil.
Man of the Match
Playing as a false nine with support from Müller and Draxler, Götze burst into life with his fine finish before the break on his 50th international appearance. Putting his indifferent club form to one side, the FC Bayern München attacker then played a key role in Germany's third, his wonderful touch opening up the space for Draxler to tee up Hector.
Germany: ter Stegen - Rüdiger, Mustafi, Hummels, Hector (Ginter, 85') -Rudy, Kroos (Kramer 90') – Müller (Can, 69'), Özil, Draxler (Volland, 85') – Götze (Reus, 61')
Head coach: Joachim Löw
Italy: Buffon - Acerbi, Bonucci (Ranocchia, 61'), Darmian – Giaccherini (El Shaarawy, 69'), Montolivo, Motta (Parolo, 68'), Florenzi (De Silvestri, 63') – Insigne (Okaka, 68'), Zaza (Antonelli, 78'), Bernardeschi
Head coach: Antonio Conte

' Declining attendances at the City '
No wonder. It's hard enough when sky changes things - however sometimes it's to our benefit. But the change in date for the Bristol game to a graveyard 12 noon on Sunday when it's not on sky is ridiculous. The police have yet again gone over the top.
They always police the stadium well and would do so again with a 3 o'clock Saturday kick off so why the need to change. The matchday atmosphere will be eroded at a time when we need to crank it up. It is Bristol who misbehave when they come here and yet we are again penalised. The severnside derby is now never held on a traditional 3 o'clock Saturday.
No wonder people get fed up and stay away from football. I hope the police are as vigilante when Wales entertain Scotland in the rugby when there is a great deal of drunkedness, Apalling behaviour and language and often fighting but which they often turn a blind eye too.
Football is a game for supporters, fans and is an entertainment business. Sadly they have no say in the matter anymore. Surely the club and police could sort these things out. I'm sure I speak for many when I say I am thoroughly disillusioned.

CHICAGO – The Bulls' offense has exploded with Nikola Mirotic back in the lineup.
Denzel Valentine had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Mirotic had
15 points and 10 rebounds, and the Bulls beat the Orlando Magic, 112-94, on Wednesday night for their seventh straight win.
The Bulls had lost 10 straight without Mirotic before his return from a facial fracture Dec. 8 and haven't lost since to improve to 10-20. Behind a season-high 31 assists, the Bulls matched their longest winning streak in three years and sent Orlando to a sixth straight loss.
Nikola Vucevic scored 18 points for the Magic.
"We're improving the communication we didn't have before," said Mirotic, who missed the start of the season after teammate Bobby Portis punched him in October.
"Offensively, [we are] playing finally the way we have to play, scoring a lot of points and sharing the ball, especially on fast breaks. It's been a lot of fun."
The excitement began early for the Bulls, who started on a 12-0 run. Facing the league's fourth-worst scoring defense, the Bulls' strong ball movement resulted in easy looks inside and out, and the team had assists on 10 of its first 15 shots.
Robin Lopez connected on his first four attempts for a team averaging 111.1 points a contest since Mirotic returned to the lineup – up from
95.7 points in 23 games without the forward.
The Bulls took a 30-point lead with 8:17 left in the fourth quarter – their largest advantage of the season.
"The start was key," Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. "I was really pleased with the way the guys came out of the gate.
"But the thing that pleases you most is the unselfishness."
The Bulls had six players score in double figures.
, including Kris Dunn with 15 points and Portis with 14.
Injury-riddled Orlando, which played without leading scorers Evan Fournier and Aaron Gordon, struggled to keep pace. The Magic shot only 39 percent, including 5 of 27 on 3-point tries, en route to their 17th loss in 20 games.
"We've got to play really above ourselves right now to get a win," Orlando coach Frank Vogel said. "We didn't play a great basketball game, and the result is what it is."
Magic: Fournier and Gordon were out of action yet again. Each is tied for the team lead with an 18.3-point a game average. Fournier missed his sixth straight game with a sprained right ankle while Gordon didn't play for the fourth time in five contests because of a right calf strain. Guard Terrance Ross missed a 10th straight game because of a sprained right knee.
Bulls: Guard Zach LaVine, who is rehabbing from a February surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, has been held out of several practices because of back spasms but should return soon. "Zach's doing great," Hoiberg said. "He's back to really feeling good again and, hopefully, we'll get him back on the practice court whenever our next practice is."
Already short-handed, Orlando only got 13:50 of playing time from guard Jonathan Isaac before he re-injured a right ankle that previously kept him out of action for 17 games. Isaac, who averages 5.7 points a game, just returned in Sunday's loss at Detroit.
"Hopefully, it's not too bad," Vogel said. "X-rays were negative, and we'll see how he is tomorrow."
The Bulls' seventh straight win is the longest-active winning streak in the Eastern Conference and is the best for the franchise since it rolled off seven in a row from Dec. 18 to 27, 2014.
"We lost 10 straight," Portis said. "We had a chip on our shoulder. We were so close to winning some of the games, we lost by one and two. We kind of found a way to start winning those games down the stretch."
Magic: Hosts New Orleans on Friday night.
Bulls: At Cleveland on Thursday night.

The end is not nearWednesday, February 12, 2014
A quick post of what I've been up to! I completed my tartan two piece and managed to make a dogtooth mini from the remaining fabric I used for my coat. I'm very happy with the pieces, I have found the fit of the dogtooth mini skirt being the most successful, surprisingly considering how spontaneous it was. Some very quick photos(will hopefully post some better shots soon!)

Remember when Michael Jordan decided it was time to return to basketball? It reminds me of that time in the Spring of 2017, when Coach made his comeback to the dart. The kid is back and ready to fire on all cylinders.
Similar to Michael, I left something that I excelled at. Whereas MJ played basketball, I wrote for the dart. MJ dropped hoops to pursue baseball. I dropped writing for reading (I am a veracious reader).
It all started about a month ago when myself and a few other darters were watching Lonzo drop dimes in a primetime, Saturday night 77-72 victory against #6 ranked Arizona. At the conclusion of the game, it was 100% go time. We had to be at the bar in an hour because honestly nothing is worse than waiting on lines in February, hand in pants, holding your jimmy. Being glued to the TV, our drinking took a back seat. As I said before, it was go time and things began to get reckless.
My best friend Nathan ALWAYS controls the sticks and I'm pretty sure I was asking him to play some thump thump to get the bitches to start sippin' but he continued to play Classic Rock. When I looked at the TV, Phil Jackson's face popped up onto the screen. The music was loud and I couldn't hear what the announcers were saying about him but I assume it was about how the drama between him and Carmelo was experiencing new heights.
Anyway, here's the part that matters – Phil's face was on the screen for approximately 8 seconds and for those whole eight seconds, I could not think of his name. Instantly, I go to my phone and type President of New York Knicks. Acting like it never happened, I was pretty freaked out that a routine ground ball like that would turn into such a disgusting error (Strike 1).
We did not leave for the bar in an hour and probably not even after two hours. When we finally got to the bar, I was ordering my first John Martinez (Jill) and SportsCenter was playing (as every bar should). On the screen was a picture of Kyle Lowry explaining that he had just broke his wrist. Once again, I COULDN'T THINK OF HIS NAME! This time, knowing his name was going to come up to the screen in the next 10 seconds, I turned away and thought real hard about what the hell his name could be. I had to go back to my God damn phone to google Kyle Lowry's name. Kyle friggin Lowry – a top 5 PG in the NBA #unacceptable (Strike 2).
As we always do, myself and some lads were ripping on Mitch and Nathan who couldn't win a fantasy football game this year even if the team they were playing against started
Tim Tebow, Aaron Hernandez and Wes Welker. When I was going for the kill, I had ALL intentions of stating the fact that if Jamison Crowder made 1 reception for 0 yards I would have been in the championship (yes I lost by .9).
Why didn't I say that? I COULDN'T REMEMBER CROWDER'S NAME.
I was officially shook.
This lack of assertiveness made me reflect. I had no option other than to walk away from what I loved which was writing for the dart. I walked away for the pure fact that I can't give the people (9 readers per article – 7 of which come from my family) information if I'm not at my best. I walked away and have been reading and researching vigorously. I refuse to let this mental lapse happen ever again.
Live action of me for the past 6 weeks ↓
Stay tuned for NBA draft, my worst experience at a sporting event ever– ala Knicks, college robbery, Yankees and more.

The concept of "personal branding" has evolved dramatically over the last few years. What used to be the territory of naturally self-promotional individuals has now become an imperative for many professionals. Whether you want it or not, employers and potential customers will look you up on social media and form judgement. It is essentially no longer possible to "opt out". Seen more positively, personal branding can be a powerful vehicle for professional empowerment, opening up new opportunities and limiting one's reliance on any given employer, in a context where more of us than ever will switch occupations, industries and locations several times during our careers.
For many, particularly in freelance and creative professions, the need for personal branding goes one step further, and has become synonymous with building a business. A comparatively small group of "influencers" were able to build a strong following, and monetize it, through product placement for example. A much larger group now relies on social media as the primary means to promote their brands and connect with customers.
Not so long ago, designers, chefs, personal trainers, real estate agents and local entrepreneurs may have focused on creating a website – now it is all about Instagram. The channel has been growing exponentially and hit 800 million users last month (CNBC) – a 100 million increase in just 4 months! In addition, Instagram has 8 million business profiles, a 6 million increase in the past year, and the majority are small businesses (Sprout Social)
For those professionals in particular, higher stakes means a lot of work and higher levels of stress. The irony of Instagram is that it is incredibly easy to get started, but incredibly hard to stand out, with 500 million monthly unique users and everyone else putting their best foot forward. Big brands and celebrities use the services of expensive social media consultants, professional photographers and photo editors. Millions of others do the work themselves, manually, with no marketing background or any real understanding of the complexities of ever-changing algorithms that impact exposure on social. Massive amounts of efforts go to waste in a context were 70% of Instagram posts don't even get seen (Sprout Social). Many end up seeing their peers get ahead because they have a better mastery of social marketing, even though they may not have the actual professional skills to back their marketing presence.
Enter SelfMade, a service that addresses exactly this pain point, and democratizes social media marketing at scale. SelfMade started with an impressive "photo editing as service" offering, and is now building more and more features to provide what is in essence a social media team in your back pocket.
A core part of the SelfMade ethos and experience is an emphasis on creativity and personalized self-expression. Once you've worked with SelfMade on establishing your "brand brief", you simply upload a pic, and specify what "treatment"you'd like on the app. Through a distributed backend of experts around the world, and an amount of artificial intelligence that will continue to grow over time, SelfMade can take your plain pictures any creative direction you'd like (see bottom of the post for some examples).
SelfMade has operated in stealth for the last 18 months or so – and, judging by its rapid early success and ever-growing waiting list, it has clearly struck a chord with its target market.
Today I'm excited to announce that FirstMark has led an $8M Series A financing in the company, joined by GGV and returning investors Primary (which led the seed), Box Group, Founder Collective, CrunchFund and Marc Benioff. SelfMade sits nicely at the intersection of key investment themes for FirstMark, such as social/images (Pinterest), creative tools (InVision, Sketchfab, Frame.io) and the future of work (Upwork, MissionU).
Beyond the thesis, the primary driver to an investing decision for us is always the intersection between a compelling mission and founders who are uniquely passionate and suited to pursue it. We are thrilled to be working with this founding team: Brian, formerly co-CEO of dating website HowAboutWe (acquired by IAC) is a a terrific consumer product guy and entrepreneur. Zach, a Stanford grad who most recently was running engineering for Google Docs, Sheets and Slides in New York, brings deep technical and managerial capabilities. Worth noting that this founding team is emblematic of the overall maturation of the NYC tech ecosystem: we're excited to see more and more entrepreneurs going for a second or third venture, and partnering up with technical talent that grew up professionally in one of the NYC offices of the tech giants (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.).
To become a SelfMade member, join the waitlist at https://www.selfmade.co/ (or email me!)
P.S.: Brian, Matt & Zach – before and after!

This is the 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo.
CarStory states that the price we have on this 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo is a GOOD DEAL!
CarFax says that we have a FAIR PRICE.
Please Note Market values do fluctuate.
The Nissan Juke is a small,
five-seat crossover with distinctive, fun styling, and sharp performance. Those
who appreciate unique design and don't mind standing out will love
it. It's a great car for running errands around town, hauling boxes,
jumping in and out, parking in tight places.
The name Juke is supposed to suggest flitting around town, as a boxer
might juke around the ring, and the Nissan Juke does just that. Juke's
steering is responsive, and it sticks nicely to pavement on winding roads. Juke's
1.6-liter turbocharged direct-injection engine generates a lot of power for its
diminutive size, giving it peppy performance.
The fabric seats are sporty in the Juke Nismo. The center console design
is inspired by a motorcycle gas tank, and it's distinctive, and cool. The
sound system is Rockford Fosgate and sounds fantastic! There is also Navigation, a backup camera and Sirius XM Radio. You will get a Free 3 month trial of Sirius XM when you purchase this Juke.
The condition of this Juke is great both inside and out. The Carfax
report did show one accident back in 2014 when it hit a parked vehicle. The
Juke was fully functional and was minor damage. Today it looks as if nothing
has ever happened. Carfax also states that this Juke has only had ONE OWNER!
If you hate the same old boring vehicles that everyone else has on the
road then you will love this Juke! You will stand out but in a good way…its
looks sporty and stylish and unlike so many other vehicles on the road. Rush on
in today and check it out in person. It is super cool looking and is also
loaded with extras!

In the March Love Me Beauty Box, the brand focus was on the new addition Rodial but this time, we've got even more newbies including the highly anticipated addition Make up Forever. I say it time and time again but that's what I just love about receiving the LMB box every month - the chance to try new brands before splashing the cash. I've never tried anything from Make Up Forever so I couldn't wait to try out the High Definition Powder and the Excessive Lash Mascara! Also, this month's box didn't actually come in a box but in a little black make up bag so not only do you get all of the beauty goodness, you also get a new make up bag that's perfect for putting your handbag essentials in!
Don't forget to use my discount code for Love Me Beauty! Enter
amyelizabeth20 at the checkout for 20% off!
So first thing's first - Make Up Forever. I'm sure you've all heard of the brand before but unlike a lot of bloggers, I hadn't gotten around to trying it. The LMB box contained a mini bottle of the Excessive Lash mascara and this is something I have fallen in love with. It separates the lashes perfectly, adding length without being clumpy and I'd definitely splash out on the full size version of this. For now, I'm saving this little treasure for my travels over the summer - it'll fit into my hand luggage nicely! Now, the HD powder was something I wasn't too keen on. Don't get me wrong it was okay - it mattified my face and did what it said on the tin but I just couldn't love it. It didn't seem to last that long and my god is it messy. I literally got powder everywhere! As this costs around £22 to buy, I'm glad I got to try this one out first as it's not something I would buy myself. Another bonus of the LMB box!
A beloved beauty blender was also included in this box and surprise, surprise I love it. I knew I would though - I've been using them for a while now and was actually in need of a new one so this came at just the right time. We also have a couple that I haven't tried yet in this month's box, including Dr Lipp Nipple Balm for Lips, Caudalie Paris Serum and Cleansing Oil. I can't wait to try the Cleansing Oil though as I've got one of those blogger instinct good feelings about it!
Finally, another highly anticipated addition to LMB is Tangle Teezer. Yup you read that right! How cool is that? Tangle Teezer is a brand we all know and love and I know I couldn't live without mine now! However, I didn't know they did Blow Dry Brushes until this arrived in this month's LMB and it's actually really great. It's heavy, thick and perfect for getting a big bouncy blow dry but I imagine it would work a lot better for someone with long thick hair (or someone who actually knew how to blow dry properly!!) and although I do really like this brush I think it'll work even better when my hair's a little longer.
Don't forget that you can get 20% off when you sign up to Love Me Beauty when you
use the code amyelizabeth20 - it's worth the saving!

Published at Sunday, February 18th, 2018 - 00:47:12 AM. Chair. By Leila Lussier.
In the past, a chair was just that - a place where you would rest your aching back. Designs were straightforward and simple and you would be foolish to expect anything more from chairs. These days, however, chairs have become art in themselves. Some pieces are so cleverly made that they look like objects of art but double up as comfortable chairs too.
Standard, plastic, padded, reinforced, and desktop are some of the different types of folding chairs. Standard folding chairs are durable and economical. They are made of steel and are available in different colors. Plastic folding chairs have similar design as that of standard chairs and are made of polypropylene plastic. They are temperature neutral, more lightweight, and not strong as metal chairs. Padded types have vinyl-upholstered seats and are available in different colors. Reinforced form has an extra rear-leg brace for frequent use. Desktop folding chairs are ideal for limited spaces such as classrooms and small halls that conduct seminars. As it has foldable tablet arms, it is used as makeshift desks.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Four Kingsmen scored in double-digits as Cal Lutheran outlasted the George Fox Bruins, 94-88, Monday night in Gilbert Arena.
The Kingsmen (2-1) got scoring from multiple players as two scored 20-plus points and two more added 15 apiece. Austin Cole scored a game-high 26 points and made 6-of-8 three-pointers. He added four rebounds and three assists.
Kyle Ferreira was the second Kingsmen to score 20-plus as he put up 21. He racked up the stats as he had a team-high eight assists and five rebounds. He hit five three-pointers in the win.
KJ Moffett and Connor Cole kept the scoring going as they each added 15. C. Cole recorded his first collegiate double-double and was a monster on the glass as he had a game-high 10 rebounds. Moffett also had a well-rounded game and tallied six assists and five rebounds.
The Violet and Gold also got scoring from Blake Miles and Palmer Chaplin as they recorded nine and six points, respectively. Miles added seven rebounds and two assists and Chaplin made two well-timed three pointers.
Both teams started the game on fire from the field and the lead went back and forth. There were nine lead changes early on before the Kinsgmen strung some points together and built a lead. Cal Lutheran had its first double-digit lead after A. Cole made a layup with 11:58 left in the first half.
A. Cole gave the Violet and Gold a 15-point lead, 40-25, as he hit a three with 8:42 left. George Fox tried to cut into the lead, but free throws by Cole Thomas pushed the lead back to 15. The Bruins were able to shorten the lead a little bit and the Kingsmen led 51-40 at the half.
The second half started exactly as the first as both teams exchanged baskets early and often. With 10:46 left, the Bruins were able to cut the lead down to 68-61, but a clutch three-pointer by Chaplin pushed the lead back to 10. The Kingsmen kept the distance for most of the second half.
With 2:30 left in the game, George Fox scored six straight points and cut the lead to eight at 87-79. With 1:53 left a Bruin layup made 88-82. A little late, George Fox hit a three-pointer to make it 93-88 with 53 second left. That would be as close as the Bruins would get as defense propelled the Kingsmen to the win as they walked away with the 94-88 victory.
Cal Lutheran continues the season on the road and takes on Cal St. Fullerton Saturday at 6 p.m.

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 09, 2017
A lot of Americans are finding politics today more gripping than the nation's biggest sporting event, the Super Bowl, according to a new nationwide survey commissioned by Havas PR North America.
The survey, taken online immediately after the nail-biting comeback of the New England Patriots to win the 2017 Super Bowl in Houston, found that over one quarter (26 percent) of respondents agree with the statement "Politics these days are much more exciting than the Super Bowl." This view is even more common among Americans under the age of 46 (30 percent) than those over age 46 (16 percent).
"To understand how significant these figures are, imagine how few Americans would have found politics more exciting than the nation's premier sporting event five, 10 or 15 years ago. Now it's a trend that's happening in plain sight. Over the past 18 months, politics has provided a daily hit of high drama that's reversed the flagging fortunes of news media," said Marian Salzman, Havas PR CEO. "We saw similar numbers driving a surprise shift back nearly twenty years ago, when we called the Rise of Religion."
The survey also found encouraging news for Super Bowl advertisers who took the risk of mixing politics in with their messaging. A solid one-third of survey respondents (33 percent) agreed that "It's okay for Super Bowl advertising to make political commentary," and more generally, a clear majority (59 percent) agreed, "I am not concerned whether or not brands become engaged in politics."
"We're seeing a profound shift in what commands Americans' attention, with big implications for brand communication and messaging," Salzman added. "The pulling power of set-piece marquee sports events is increasingly being challenged by the constant excitement of politics, with Americans rooting for their 'team' and their issues. The more compelling politics become, the more risks brands will have to take to get noticed. Expect a lot of delicate judgment calls to be made about whether to coattail the energy of a contentious issue, or play it safe and steer clear of anything that might be construed as political."
For its big-ticket advertising shot in Super Bowl 2017, Budweiser aired a 60-second dramatization of founder Adolphus Busch emigrating from Germany and enduring hardships to set up the Anheuser-Busch brewery. This stirred up a social media hornet nest with calls to #boycottbudweiser and lots of media coverage.
Said Salzman, "The Budweiser ad might have been an unremarkable take on a foundation myth a few years ago, but this year, some commentators saw it as a political statement."
In the Havas PR survey, Bud achieved the largest proportion of unprompted mentions for brands that made respondents feel good (30 percent for Bud and 5 percent for Anheuser-Busch) and also the largest for brands that made respondents feel bad (5 percent). Asked whether they knew of any brand(s) with a clear political leaning or preference, five percent cited Bud.
About the Survey
The survey was commissioned by Havas PR and fielded online by Market Probe International (MPI) after the Super Bowl on Feb. 5, 2017. The survey contained a mix of pre-coded and open-ended questions, which were hand-coded by MPI. The achieved sample was 513 respondents, with a mix of Super Bowl viewers and non-viewers.

At the school meeting on Aug. 15, John Andersen, board member, proposed the discussion of an opt-out policy for core literature that would give students the ability to read alternate texts if they have personal objections to literature being taught in English classes. Discussion of the approval of "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie for ninth grade English classes prompted the proposal.
The board convened in an informal "study session" on Sept. 25 where community members spoke to the issue of an opt-out policy. English teachers from across the district were called to discuss the effects such a policy would have on the classroom.
"They want to examine … the process by which books are approved, and also the process by which parents are notified of content in literature that might be cause for an exception or an objection on their part," Christy Hodson, English teacher and department chair, said. Hodson explained that English teachers currently alert families about literature selections in the course syllabus at the beginning of the year.
Department chairs were able to invite another teacher to participate in the discussion, Hodson's choice being Jill Magnante, English teacher. "(Our) purpose was to be the voice for the teachers of these high schools' English department," Hodson said.
Alana Bond and Robin Lilly, English teachers, also attended the meeting as community members to understand the different perspectives on the issue.
"I think for some teachers, (an opt-out policy) would cause a big disruption because in our planning (we) tend to teach a whole class a procedure," Lilly said. "It would take a real paradigm shift in the way people do things in order to accommodate (an opt-out policy) in a meaningful way."
Bond, who oversees the Writing Center, encouraged student tutors to attend the meeting. "I think in general students should just get more involved in what's going on in the community and going to school board meetings is a good way to do that," Bond said. "And since this has to do with curriculum, and what they're being taught and what they're reading, it does directly affect them so they should be aware of what's going on and feel free to speak out on what they believe about it."
After attending the Aug. 15 meeting, Dayna Archer, senior, became interested in the actions of the school board and attended the study session to learn more about the decision-making process for establishing English curriculum. "What goes on in these board meetings is related to us because we're the students," Archer said. "I think it's important to know what's going on in our school district."
On Oct. 3, the board convened for their regular session. On the agenda was action item 11A regarding the core literature policy.
Community member Maureen Mayer expressed her concern with requiring that students read the current core literature selections. "I think that students should be challenged. But salacious and pornographic work I do not think rises to the level of bold or challenging," Mayer said.
George Miller, community member, agreed, stating that parents are the customers of the schools. "I know (it is) debatable what moral is," Miller said. "But we have to try to come to some kind of accommodation for the parents, staff, and people with different opinions."
Mary Anne Van Zuyle, community member, presented an alternate view, arguing that the discussion of controversial topics in English classes is beneficial. "My children are not protected by keeping them ignorant." Zuyle said. "It is important for my children to hear and learn to evaluate different viewpoints."
A common concern amongst community members was that parents who are unhappy with the literature being taught will leave the district. One community member, Amy Chen, proposed creating an opt-in policy rather than an opt-out so that parents must knowingly approve of the content their child is reading.
When the action item was opened up for board discussion, Betsy Connolly, board member, suggested that creating a board policy would help solidify the opt-out practice that teachers have already been following. After, Mark McLaughlin, Interim Superintendent, proposed forming a Superintendent's committee to create an opt-out policy to be voted on. The board approved the formation of this committee. The committee will include Bob Iezza, Deputy Superintendent of Instruction, and Jennifer Boone, Director of Curriculum, and will hear from parents specifically about the opt-out policy.

Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature, but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapour, a drop of water is enough to kill him. but even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows none of this.

Lots of people don't read books or read them very rarely. "The Da Vinci Code", by Dan Brown was and is somewhat of an exception to that statement. Lots of people read his book. Almost all of them enjoyed it. It has a fairly interesting premise, its paced fairly well, and when the villain is revealed the pieces all come clearly together.
The book as a mystery does have some drawbacks. Right now it is very popular to solve mysteries with science, for example the CSI franchise. Solving riddles as a means to discovery is old fashioned. However, religion is a really big topic in the US and Canada and as such the topic of the book is somewhat more important than the fashion the mystery is solved.
I read a study about th effect of television on mood. The study involved randomly calling subject on the phone asking them to rate their mood and then asking them what they were doing immediately before the phone call. It turns out that the average mood while watching tv is 'borderline depression'. The scientists theorized that this is because tv is an entirely passive medium. All you have to do is sit there and you are fed the story. Reading, on the other hand, resulted in a positive mood. The theory is that reading is something that has to be done actively. You have to read to get the story, not just sit there. You are doing something vs not doing anything.
This plays into why I think the movie is getting bad reviews. Like I said before, lots of non-readers have read "The Da Vinci Code". It is a pretty decent book, but besides that it is a huge success. People discovered along with the story, how fun reading actually is and beyond that how fun it is to discuss books with other people.
Now, these people who don't normally read may not normally enjoy reading for whatever the reason discovered a book and really enjoyed reading it and they really enjoy discussing it. Which is something that they wouldn't have particularly expected. Movies on the other hand are something that people do like. They like them a lot. they go expecting to be entertained. (Much like watching tv). Now if something like reading which is normally not liked or at least not done very much for pure enjoyment can be so good, people may be thinking, how much better will the movie be because movies are always enjoyable.
The expectations get set so high that when there are things that can't be done because of the format, it lessens the story and enjoyment of the movie. For example in a book, the author can just write what one of the characters is thinking or all of the characters for that matter. In a movie that is much more difficult and would require a narrator, weird conversations or excessive use of flashbacks.
Flashbacks in a book are better than flashbacks in a movie. It is perfectly clear that you are reading a flashback and in your mind you imagine them equally as well as the present time. In a movie however, you have to make it clear that it is a flashback or the audience will be confused (especially if they haven't read the book). One of the ways a flashback is signalled in a movie is to use a steady cam shot, a hazy focus or weird processing after the fact. Flashbacks just don't cut it in movies like they do in our imagination.
I think that many of the poor reviews are based on a few of these ideas and maybe a few others. Really the medium is the problem here, not the story.

I really enjoy the audio books, and the Da Vinci Code was no exception. For one thing, all of the characters voices sound different.
Have not seen the movie though. Went to MI III this weekend instead.

Are there any errors in console?
Are you sure you downloaded the right version?
🏆 AdventureMMO [v2.0.7] [API 4/5/6]
Are there any errors in console?
well i just meant the skills here. there are already mods that add magic age items like you where thinking but they require clients to also have the mod installed, server side only plugin like this have to work with existing vanilla resources so skills and maybe some particle effects is all you can really ask for. so far is pretty awesome though
Yes I believe I have the newest version. There's no errors that I can tell.
Can you tell me what works and what doesnt, try the commands, any abilities, (right-click with an axe), the config files generation, and anything else yoy can think of?
As I said the commands work but they all say that the skills are 0.
The config files do not appear to have generated, unless I'm looking in the wrong place.
Using tools and weapons does not appear to grant skill ups, even after hours of mining.
I should note that I'm using a mod called Levels
Can you see the messages that the plugin gives on startup? If so, which ones does it give?
The mod shouldnt matter.
Also try to update your sponge.
He is not the only one, I also receive such things, even made an issue, here it is
No configs are generated at all, only the menu in game with names, no lvls are upping, no admin commands are working, smthing is wrong right there
Off topic but I have to ask now, what texture pack is that?
im getting this error in my console
modern hd, my fav
I have found the source of the problem, an update will come in the next 10 minutes or so.
Okey, the update with the fix is out.
That was fast btw
ppl are reporting that they gain Farming and Woodcutting exp just by standing still doing nothing
What... That is weird, ill check it out
Oh i think i know why, i will do some tests once i get home.
possible to make a config option to disable the "lvling sound and visuals" when lvling a skill?
or even better, make it a command so the players them self chose to turn it off/on.
wanted to add:
Tested Giga Drill:
When i used the skill Giga Drill and ur shovel have low durability, it will break under the effect when using the skill.
After the skill have finished the shovel will return to ur hand with same low durability as before u used the skill.
Awesome plugin, plenty of happy players using this. Adds a whole new experience to the game; I've missed McMMO quite a lot.
I'd love to see some form of scoreboard display which could be toggled on or off, or possibly integration with the "EasyScoreBoards" plugin!
Also, will we get support to disable certain skills completely? For example, if I wanted to use the standard Nucleus /repair.
I think will work on this soon.
Will be fixed in an update in the next few says.
I think i will add this as well.
I will also add this is the next update.
Thank you for the quick fix. It's working on my server now and everyone seems to be enjoying it so far.
Awesome! I look forward to it.

MAKHACHKALA, August 4 (Itar-Tass) - Nine people sought medical help following an explosion at a food store in downtown Makhachkala, a spokesman for the interior ministry of the republic of Dagestan told itar-Tass late on Sunday.
According to the spokesman, most of these people had cuts from broken glass.
"The blast occurred at a round-the-clock food store at the corner of Kostrov and Yaragsky Streets," the spokesman said. "According to preliminary information, the shop's salesgirl and a security guard officer received light injuries. The shop is now on fire."
Local police cited witnesses as saying that unidentified persons had opened the shop's door, planted a bomb and left. An explosion followed. An investigation is underway.
The spokesman also said that another explosion had been reported in Makhachkala after the first one. It occurred at a shop specializing in alcoholic drinks. "A bomb was planted near the Kristall shop," the spokesman said. "Only detonators went off. That is way it caused practically no damage. The shop was closed. NO one was hurt."

MONTPELIER, Vt. — A Vermont man whose much-delayed domestic violence case was considered by the U.S. Supreme Court is going to get a new trial – but not because he wasn't given a speedy trial.
A split Vermont Supreme Court on Friday ordered that Michael Brillon be given a new trial in a 2001 domestic violence case that didn't make it to court for the first time until 2004.
In a series of appeals that ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court, attorneys argued the Brillon's case, which arose from Bennington County in the state's southwest corner, illustrated a "systemic breakdown" in the public defender system and contributed to the delays in trying Brillon.
But the U.S. Supreme Court said the state should not pay for delays caused by Vermont's public defender system.
Instead, Brillon won reversal of his conviction and a remand for a new trial because the aggravated domestic abuse charge on which he was convicted relied on facts from a previous case, for which he hadn't been convicted.
