The Poynter Summit on Reporting and Editing, taking place May 6-11, 2018, at Poynter's campus in St. Petersburg, Florida, is an intensive week of training and personalized coaching to boost the skills of reporters and editors who seek greater impact and relevance in digital and multi-platform newsrooms.
In a 24/7 news cycle, how do you build the skills to report, write and edit stories that connect with your audience across all platforms? Break out of your routine with the Poynter Summit on Reporting and Editing. Our lineup of award-winning journalists and expert teachers will show you how digital approaches and narrative writing techniques can transform your work—whether it's a daily story or a major project.
Two tracks will help you dive more deeply into beat/enterprise reporting and editing. And we'll come together in large group sessions to explore the common threads that will help you tell more powerful stories, no matter what role you play in your organization. In the process, you'll explore the tools and techniques that will help you thrive in the digital age.
At the end of this high-impact week, you'll leave Poynter with a personal action plan to put what you've learned into practice.

Testimonial from a Parent
Dear Sara, I know we haven't had our last session yet, but I am emailing you just to express my thanks for all you've done for us. It took me a long time to even go to the GP, let alone feel happy with going to see a psychologist. I was worried that it would make things worse, or focus too much on her problems. I thought I was being an over anxious parent (although I don't have any such worries about my other daughter). I've got lots of medics in the extended family and everyone said she would grow out of it. Also I didn't really have much confidence in the process. But I am so so glad we came to see you. Her behaviour has changed quite dramatically. She no longer comes into our bed to sleep (except very very occasionally). She is not frightened about being in a room on her own. She no longer panics about feeling sick (which is so draining when we are up lots of times in the night). She is much more confident talking about her feelings. She hardly ever panics. Of course like any child she is growing in confidence every day, and of course she still has worries about things. But they are manageable and don't drag us down and she can talk about them, she understands them better and is not so frightened of those feelings. I'm sure just me and her taking the time out to come on our visits to you has been a benefit in itself. But I am also sure that if it wasn't for you, and the particular way you do what you do, this wouldn't have happened. She obviously likes and trusts you. I am so grateful for the way you don't patronise her, for your calmness, kindness and lightness of touch. You make the sessions feel like a very very safe and relaxed place for her to be. So I am very grateful to you…I think its a massive investment for later life. She now knows that she can find help for her problems (she can face things, talk about them and put them in perspective). I think she is far more likely to be able to cope in the future than I was/am. Thank you so much!

Putin Warns of Financial Crisis The World 'Has Not Yet Seen'
By: Lew Rockwell
"The system of multilateral cooperation, which took years to build, is no longer allowed to evolve. It is being broken in a very crude way. Breaking the rules is becoming the new rule," he said.
In addition to traditional forms of protectionism such as trade tariffs, technical standards and subsidies, nations are increasingly using new ways to undermine their competition, like unilateral economic sanctions. And nations which thought they would never be targeted by such measures for political reasons are now being proved wrong, Putin said.

Statist Monetary Cranks
By: Gary North
The greenback monetary cranks have always been opposed to the Federal Reserve. Why? Because the regional Federal Reserve banks are privately owned. They hate all private banking. They are committed statists. They originally were people of the Left in the late 1880's. Today, they are found on the Right, but they are in no way defenders of the free market. They want Congress in control of money.

The "Chuck Prince Market" Redux — Only More Dangerous
By: David Stockman
We are at that moment again. Only this time the danger of a thundering crash is far greater. That's because the current blow-off top comes after nine years of even more central bank policy than Greenspan's credit and housing bubble.
The Fed and its crew of traveling central banks around the world have gutted honest price discovery entirely. They have turned global financial markets into outright gambling dens of unchecked speculation.

Bank Failures Hither and Yon
By: Douglas French
Grant's Almost Daily reports that despite the seemingly calm economic winds, "Banco Popular has managed to run the ship aground. In order to shore up their sickly balance sheet, the acquiring [Banco] Santander will issue a €7 billion rights offering to shareholders. Banco Popular's equity and junior debt are wiped out, to the tune of €3.3 billion."

Brexit: What Is It About?
By: Paul Craig Roberts
The EU serves Washington and the One Percent. It serves no one else. The EU is a murderer of sovereignty and peoples. The intent is for the British, French, Germans, Italians, Greeks, Spanish, and all the rest to disappear as peoples. Brexit is the last chance to defeat this hidden agenda, and apparently, the British will vote tomorrow without having a clue as to what is at stake and what the vote is about.

Free Money From the Robots!
By: Gary North
It rests on the universal assumption of all socialist thought, namely, the assumption that nature imposes no inherent limits. Therefore, scarcity is the product of evil institutions — institutions based on private ownership. "Property is theft," announced Proudhon. So, socialists conclude, the state should steal it back from the thieves and give it to everyone. This has been the socialist party line for 200 years.

German Gold and the Crooked NY Fed
By: Arthur M.M. Krolman
Same Questioner: Germany has asked to repatriate their gold. And they haven't gotten all their gold back. And I was wondering why they haven't got all their gold back when they asked for it three or four years ago.

Monetary Reform: Fiat vs. Market
By: Gary North
There is an answer: central bankers do not trust other central bankers. They do not trust the reliability of civil governments. They know that when push comes to shove in the business cycle, other central bankers will crank up the printing presses. When this happens, they all want to be in gold. So should the rest of us. To keep their credit worthiness in a crisis, they have to own gold. So do the rest of us.

Trade Deficit Angst

Let's look at the political angst over trade deficits. A trade deficit is when people in one country buy more from another country than the other country's people buy from them. There cannot be a trade deficit in a true economic sense. Let's examine this.

Bank Bounce Back is Baloney: Gold Will Glow
By: Gerald Celente
The Panic is on
This unprecedented bashing of bank stocks is a clear signal of great financial distress — the causes and effects of which we have detailed in our Trends Journals, Trends Monthly, Trend Alerts and Trends in the News broadcasts. In addition, with central banks imposing negative interest rates, it is less profitable for banks to lend, thus reducing their earning power, and adding more downward financial pressure during a time of increased distress.

Ben Bernanke's Bromance
By: Thomas DiLorenzo
Former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is in love with another man – Alexander Hamilton. Defending his man's honor on his personal blog published through his new employer, the left-wing Brookings Institution, Bernanke recently said he is "appalled" that the U.S. Treasury Department is considering removing Hamilton's mug shot from the ten dollar bill and replacing him with a woman (Bella Abzug? Elinor Roosevelt? Oprah? Who knows).

Why Europe Will Lead the Charge to Eliminate Cash – the Next Step in a Global Meltdown
By: Martin Armstrong
The next step in the game will be CAPITAL CONTROLS. When the European government realizes that they cannot eliminate cash without the rest of the entire world doing so simultaneously, money will move out even faster from Europe, driving the dollar to excessive highs. They will most likely follow the same script as they did in Cyprus, imposing currency controls to prevent money from fleeing.

Sell, Sell, Sell…….The Central Bank Madmen Are Raging
By: David Stockman
The global financial system has come unglued. Everywhere the real world evidence points to cooling growth, faltering investment, slowing trade, vast excess industrial capacity, peak private debt, public fiscal exhaustion, currency wars, intensified politico-military conflict and an unprecedented disconnect between debt-saturated real economies and irrationally exuberant financial markets.

As The "Sanctions War" Heats Up, Will Putin Play His 'Gold Card'?
By: John Butler
The topic of 'currency war' has been bantered about in financial circles since at least the term was first used by Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega in September 2010. Recently, the currency war has escalated, and a 'sanctions war' against Russia has broken out. History suggests that financial assets are highly unlikely to preserve investors' real purchasing power in this inhospitable international environment, due in part to the associated currency crises, which will catalyse at least a partial international remonetisation of gold. Vladimir Putin, under pressure from economic sanctions, may calculate that now is the time to play his 'gold card'.

The End of Economic Freedom
By: Murray N. Rothbard
Wake Up America
And so fascism is here – and it doesn't even work. We have sold our birthright of freedom for a mess of inedible pottage. Our economic dictators should at least heed the warning of their predecessor, Field Marshal Hermann Goering. After his capture by the Allies, Goering stated: Your America is doing many things in the economic field which we found out caused us so much trouble. You are trying to control people's wages and prices – people's work. If you do that, you must control people's lives. And no country can do that part way. I tried it and failed. Nor can any country do it all the way either. I tried that too and it failed. You are no better planners than we. I should think your economists would read what happened here."

The U.S. Dollar: Currency Masquerading as Money
By: Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD
People consider Federal Reserve notes, U.S. dollars, to be real money. This includes their digital equivalent in bank and credit card statements and Treasury-issued base metal coins. As a unit of account, all goods and services, and land and labor are priced in U.S. dollars. Declared legal tender, Federal Reserve notes are the country's medium of exchange.

Are Cryptocoins Money?
By: Michael S. Rozeff
Gold is a free market and international unit of account. It got that way without a Pharaoh. It got that way because of its properties as a good that was internationally valued and recognized, by its durability, divisibility, high value per unit of weight, relatively low variation in supply, and so on. Once it became a numeraire, paper certificates could be issued against it. It still remained the numeraire.

Let Them Eat iPads: 14-Years Of Data Debunk Fed's Inflation Shortfall Canard

This is not simply another case of "Let them eat iPads" cynicism.

Indeed, failing the inflation target "from below" amounts to a Cardinal Sin.

Key Points:
•Osteology is the study of the skeleton.
•The bodies of vertebrates have homologous structures (the same body part, regardless of its particular shape and function) as well as analogous structures (non-homologous parts used for the same function).
•Bones and other features of anatomy are given formal names (normally based on Latin).
•Anatomical directions and landmarks are used to described the position of different anatomical features.
•Major sections of the skeleton include the skull, the axial skeleton (vertebral column and other parts along the main trunk of the body), and the appendicular skeleton (the pectoral girdle and forelimb, and the pelvic girdle and hindlimb.)

Homologous structures: the same anatomical structure, regardless of function.
Analogous structures: represent different units of anatomy serving the same function.
Comparative anatomy seeks to describe the structure of the bodies of organisms in terms of their homologous structures.
Functions of the skeleton:
Anatomical Directions
Anatomical views: when a specimen is illustrated, the anatomical view represents that surface of the specimen that is shown.
Anatomical landmarks: particular homologous structures on the skeleton (openings, joints, etc.) used for identifying the position of bones or other features of the anatomy.
The skeleton of a dinosaur (or other vertebrate) is divided into a couple of different sections:
(Incidentally, anatomical terms are for the most part based on Latin words. Bones or landmarks with Latin rather than English plurals are noted below)
Complications in Names: The anatomical terminology we use in this course has a long tradition: used by Owen, by 20th Century paleontologists such as Alfred Sherwood Romer and George Gaylord Simpson, and many others. It includes standardized terminology for non-mammalian vertebrates. That said, mammalogists have long used different names for a few of these bones (for instance, the "jugal" is instead called the "zygoma" and the "dorsal" series of vertebrae is subdivided into an anterior "thoracic" section and a posterior "lumbar" section). Furthermore, human anatomy (and veterinarian anatomy) mixes the terminology even more, particularly with regards to anatomical directions. So there may be some difference in names we use here compared to ones you have encountered elsewhere.
Important Bones and Landmarks of the Skull
NOTE: Almost all bones and landmarks of the skull are paired, with one on the right side and one on the left. Although the skulls of vertebrates are composed of many bones, these bones are joined by sutures: depending on the type of suture, the joint can be mobile or immobile.
Teeth are composed of materials (softer dentine and harder enamel) similar to bone. Teeth have a root which fits into the socket of the jaws and a crown covered with enamel which chops, crushes, pulps, tears, slices, and/or grinds food.
Most types of dinosaur teeth do not show occlusion (when one surface meets another). In all types of toothed dinosaur, the teeth are renewed throughout life.
Bones and Landmarks of the Axial Skeleton
Most of the axial skeleton is composed of the vertebral column, itself composed of individual vertebrae (singular, vertebra). Each vertebra contains the following sections:
Skeleton of Giraffatitan, with sections of the vertebral column labeled; image Courtesy of Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week
The vertebral column is divided into four sections in dinosaurs and their relatives:
Labeled portions of the skeleton of Camarasaurus; image Courtesy of Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week
Labeled skeleton of Triceratops: image courtesy of Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week
Attached to the cervical and dorsal vertebrae are ribs (one on each side). Sacral ribs also exist, but are often fused to the pelvic girdle (see below). Instead of ribs, caudal vertebrae have chevrons, single bones which protect the nerves and blood vessels that run underneath the caudal centra.
Ventral to the guts of dinosaurs and many other land vertebrates are gastralia (singular gastralium), or "belly ribs". In dinosaurs they are one or two pieces per side.
Some dinosaurs have dermal ossifications or scutes: bones in the skin of the animal used for armor.
Bones and Landmarks of the Appendicular Skeleton
The appendicular skeleton is comprised of the limbs and their girdles (bones that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton.
The Pectoral Girdle The forelimb is attached to the dorsal part of the axial skeleton by the pectoral girdle. The pectoral girdle is composed of the following bones:

Right lateral view of right pectoral girdle and forelimb of Centrosaurus; image courtesy of The Open Dinosaur Project
The Forelimb
Anterior view of right manus of Centrosaurus; image courtesy of The Open Dinosaur Project
The Pelvic Girdle
Left lateral view of the left pelvic girdle and hindlimb of Camarasaurus; image Courtesy of Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week
The hindlimb is attached to the sacral part of the axial skeleton by the pelvic girdle (aka the pelvis (pl. pelves) or "hips"). The pelvic girdle is composed of three bones on each side:
Right lateral view of right pelvic girdle and hindlimb of Centrosaurus; image courtesy of The Open Dinosaur Project
The Hindlimb
Note that the structure of the hindlimb is very similar to that of the forelimb.

Selling of the New Zealand dollar accelerated, knocking another 1 per cent off the currency's value as investors repositioned to the nation's political shift.
"Both Labour and NZ First are looking to revamp the Central Bank by appointing outside director while moving away from the single decision-maker model," said OANDA's Stephen Innes, adding that "spooked" investors.
"The profundity of this political swing is no small matter as the coalition could bring about a dual mandate for the RBNZ incorporating a full employment target alongside the traditional inflation target and likely currency consequences," Mr Innes said. "So far there has been little appetite to buy the dip while traders remain in 'sellindipity' mode expecting an extension of the current trend."
The Kiwi was 1 percent lower at US69.59¢ in recent trade, falling below the US70¢ mark for the first time since late May. The currency has plunged 7.9 percent since its 2017 peak of US75.58¢ in late July.

This paper will focus on peacekeeping operations as a form of intervention by the international community over the next 15 years. Like it or not, it may fall to the United Nations and the international community to keep the international system from descending into more generalized armed conflict. This presents an initial overview of recent of peacekeeping and peace operations, areas in which militaries from around the world play a crucial role. It will conclude with recommendations for US policy makers on how to better understand, cooperate, and enhance these tools, making the two worlds of international security less separate, arguing that they are mutually dependent for better managing the transition from warfare and conflict to stability and peace.

In the United States, approximately 1,500 people per year report finding items inside their bodies post-surgery — where a patient has undergone a surgical procedure and has been stitched up and release with an instrument still inside them. Leaving surgical tools inside a patient is a completely preventable error, in which closer attention and care could have saved patients their time, discomfort, worry, and sometimes, their lives.
Medical reports over the years have indicated a range of surgical tools have been left inside patients following a procedure, such as:
- Surgical sponges
- Towels
- Needles
- Scalpels
- Blades
- Pins and safety pins
- Tweezers / forceps
- Tubes
- Scopes
- Saws
Although most objects left behind are detected and easily retained without lasting harm to the patient, some surgical instruments inadvertently left behind can cause severe pain or even death. Hospitals may try to minimize the severity of retained instruments, but they should not be able to get away with such mistakes. In truth, a study published in December 2012 shows that roughly 80 never-events — things that should never happen — occur on average 80 times per week.
You can recover monetary damages from the hospital and its medical professionals if you were harmed through surgical error. It is important to find a caring medical malpractice attorney who will listen to and understand your particular situation. Our lawyers work with you to fight for your rights to get you everything you deserve under the law.

Change for Broadway's favorite magazine: Will Playbill receive a makeover along with its new publisher?
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
By Jessie Kuenzel
Staff Writer
Anyone who has attended a play on New York City's Broadway or off-Broadway will have received, or at least knows of, the small, yellow-topped booklet that is handed out to all play-goers.
Their slogan—printed on the cover of every magazine—reads "serving theater since 1884," a statement which they have very much lived up to. Nearly every major show opening in New York uses the services of Playbill Inc., and over the years their circulation has spread to theatres across the country—from Chicago, Houston, and San Francisco to our very own Boston.
It is common for theatergoers to save their copies of "Playbill," many of whom have amassed collections numbering in the hundreds. UMass Amherst student Luke Flood has been amassing "Playbills" for as long as he can remember.
"I have a binder that I keep them all in," Flood said of his sizeable collection. "Well actually it's more like 10 binders now, I have to keep getting more. 'Playbills' are such an important part of the theatre experience for me; it's a way to take a little bit of the show home. And when you've seen as many plays as I have, it's easy to lose track and forget about some. All I have to do is flip through my binders and I can almost see the actors and hear the orchestra again. "
"Playbill," which has established itself as an icon in the theater world, is as important to some theatergoers as the play itself. As Playbill Inc. transitions to a new publisher, many are wondering how their beloved magazine will be affected by this major change.
Bruce Hallett will be filling the position of publisher in the wake of Philip S. Birsh, who still remains president and chief executive of Playbill Inc. Although Birsh will continue to oversee many aspects of the Playbill line—such as playbill.com and Playbill Travel—the company was growing at such a fast pace that he felt it was time to bring in an "All-Star in the majors," as he said of Hallett in an interview with the New York Times.
Playbill was acquired in 1974 by Birsh's father, Arthur T. Birsh, and has remained solely under the family's control up to this point. When Birsh realized that Playbill Inc. had grown far past what he could handle on his own, he decided to step down in one of his three positions and allow the role of publisher to be filled by his good friend Bruce Hallett, who was particularly qualified for the job.
"The CEO and the president got together and fired the publisher," joked Birsh. "Sometimes you have to look at yourself and say, 'Are you doing the best job you can?'"
Bruce Hallett, who returns to magazine publishing after a nine-year break where he worked as president of MyPublisher and chief executive of Murdoch Books, seems to have a penchant for easily recognizable magazines.
During his 25-year career at Time Inc., Hallett served as president of "Time" and "Sports Illustrated"—both of which have well-known and instantly identifiable covers—and he is now adding the iconic yellow and black of "Playbill" to his resume.
While "Playbill" collectors and fans are understandably worried about the future of their beloved magazine, it doesn't appear as if they have too much to worry about.
In a phone interview with a "New York Times" reporter, Hallet said "[Playbill] has a fabulous brand story, there are people sitting in seats, and standing on stages who care about it. It's hard to see into the future how much growth is left in the print piece, and yet we do have a unique distribution model, handing out programs to people who are excited."
Hallett appreciates the "souvenir" and "memento" aspect of the magazine, and with his background in working with highly collectable magazines in the past, it seems safe to say that Hallett knows the importance of maintaining a brand image.
So at least for the time being, it seems that "Playbill" will be staying the same stage-side magazine that generations of theatergoers have come to know and love.

Mountain Biking In Himalaya & Karakorum
Trip Ref:
Total Days :
Mountain Range:
Maximum Elevation:
Karakorum – Western Himalaya
May to September
Experience a unique opportunity with natural beauty and ancient cultures and remote areas of the Karakorum and Himalaya while enjoying some of the best riding in the world. Karakorum is the backbone of vast colliding mountain ranges incorporating some of the world's highest peaks and longest non-Polar glaciers. These peaks reach 7,000-8,000m and include K2, the second-highest mountain on the planet. The road travels through some spectacular scenery starting near Rawalpindi, following the River Indus (which separates the Himalayas and Hindu Kush ranges) to Gilgit. Here one feels the "real" mountains begin as the road climbs towards the Khunjerab pass at 4,750m. En route we pass through the Hunza valley which has a reputation for outstanding natural beauty, welcoming people and endless hiking and biking opportunities. Until very recently Hunza was cut off from the modern world and became mythologized in books and films as the "Lost Kingdom of Shangri-La". Due to its isolation and purity its people are reputed to have extraordinary health and longevity.

A Preprocessor Based on Clause Normal Forms and Virtual Substitutions to Parallelize Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition

The Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) algorithm is a comprehensive tool to perform quantifier elimination over real closed fields. CAD has doubly exponential running time, making it infeasible for practical purposes. We propose to use the notions of clause normal forms and virtual substitutions to develop a preprocessor for CAD, that will enable an input-level parallelism. We study the performance of CAD in the presence of the preprocessor by extensive experimentation. Since parallelizability of CAD depends on the structure of given prenex formula, we introduce some structural notions to study the performance of CAD with the proposed preprocessor.

[19:02] <+NoYJim> Hi Guys! I'm Jim and that's Chip. We're the guys behind Nights of Yore: Tabletop Role Playing streamlined on your Smartphone and TV.
[19:02] <+chip> Hi
[19:02] <+NoYJim> done
[19:03] <~Dan> Thanks, guys!
[19:03] <~Dan> The floor is open to questions!
[19:04] <~Dan> Is this a platform for any RPG, like roll20, or is this its own game?
[19:04] <+chip> It is its own standalone game.
[19:05] <~Dan> What's the setting?
[19:05] <+NoYJim> We wanted to make a streamlined system to help move the game forward but still use d20 as a reference
[19:05] <+NoYJim> The setting is standard fantasy but we would eventually like to expand
[19:06] <+NoYJim> Down the road we intend for users to be able to create their own adventures, monsters, areas, etc. But that's a ways out
[19:06] <+NoYJim> done
[19:06] <~Dan> So you include own adventures for now?
[19:07] <+NoYJim> A big part of NoY is that it creates a new game every time
[19:07] <+NoYJim> Chip?
[19:08] <+chip> The world is built dynamically, so it's new everytime you play. We wanted to create a world that, whenever you play, it's like experiencing something new, but with familiar mechanics
[19:09] <+chip> done
[19:09] <~Dan> Can you give a hypothetical example of how that might play out for a given player?
[19:11] <+NoYJim> So at the begining of the game the Storyteller (DM/GM) will answer a questionnaire about how long they want to play, how many players, etc. The game will then generate a timeline of ares and dungeon you will travel to. The Storyteller can then go in to each area and dungeon and add traps, treasures, NPC's, Monsters, and even build battles ahead of timand edit
[19:12] <+NoYJim> (Link: http://gph.is/2aQFNri)http://gph.is/2aQFNri
[19:12] <+NoYJim> done
[19:13] <+NoYJim> That's a GIF of the Dungeon generator creating new Dungeons on the fly
[19:13] <+NoYJim> Done
[19:13] <~Dan> (Oh, you guys don't have to say "done" after everything you say — just after extended answers or whenever you think it's not clear that you're done. 🙂 )
[19:14] <~Dan> (Howdy, scya!)
[19:14] <+NoYJim> cool haha
[19:14] <~Dan> So the Storyteller sets up the confrontations and "turns loose" his creations?
[19:15] <+chip> basically, yeah
[19:15] <+chip> he can form his story around the world, or change the world to fit his story
[19:16] <+chip> then everyone else gets to dive in and play
[19:16] <+xyphoid> is the assumption it'll be a dungeon crawl?
[19:16] <+NoYJim> The idea is you can create a story inspired by the timeline that is generated
[19:17] <+NoYJim> Should play out like a typical role playing game. Storyline areas, Dungeons etc. Battles will play out like a JRPG . Think Final Fantasy. This keeps things moving but maintains typical Tabletop Role playing storytelling
[19:17] <+NoYJim> I should clarify
[19:18] <+NoYJim> This is basically like a typical D&D or Pathfinder game
[19:18] <+NoYJim> DM uses a laptop
[19:18] <+NoYJim> Players use a phone or tablet
[19:18] <+NoYJim> TV is the tabletop
[19:18] <+NoYJim> Games play to completion in one sitting though
[19:19] <+NoYJim> And it's easy enough for newbies to join in
[19:20] <+xyphoid> so the app has a full combat system built in?
[19:21] <+NoYJim> The Players app is essentially their Character sheet when held in upright then displays the tabletop when turned to landscape
[19:22] <+NoYJim> In landscape the can control their characters actions on their turn
[19:22] <+NoYJim> All tabletop actions play out on the tv but each player has control of their charater from their device
[19:23] <+chip> when in battle, they determine what their character's action is, the target and the animation plays when their time is up
[19:23] <+NoYJim> yep! Like a Final Fantasy battle but each player controls their respective character
[19:24] <~Dan> Does the game allow for the GM to interact with the players, or is the GM's involvement mostly setting up traps and combats?
[19:25] <+NoYJim> Just Like D&D or Pathfinder, etc. The DM runs the game
[19:25] <+NoYJim> We intend everyone to be in the same room, being guided, DM doing NPC voices, skill checks, etc
[19:26] <~Dan> Oh, I see.
[19:26] <+chip> flickering the light switches
[19:26] <~Dan> Heh. 🙂
[19:26] <+NoYJim> Later we will make it available online but for now LAN only
[19:26] <+NoYJim> LAN PARTY!
[19:26] <~Dan> Gotcha. I wasn't clear on that point.
[19:27] <~Dan> Do you have a character sheet posted that we can see?
[19:27] <+chip> one thing we've been experimenting with is having the players connect directly to the hosts laptop, rather than the wifi network
[19:28] <+chip> oh, yeah, wait one… jim?
[19:29] <+NoYJim> Here's a mock up of what we used at Gen-Con. The last page is the tabletop view you get when you turn your phone sideways.
[19:29] <+NoYJim> (Link: https://goo.gl/photos/cHghMTjoJ4RKMSgNA)https://goo.gl/photos/cHghMTjoJ4RKMSgNA
[19:29] <~Dan> Let's see here…
[19:30] <+chip> don't mind the art…
[19:30] <~Dan> (Howdy, KJ|Laptop!)
[19:30] <+NoYJim> Haha yes! All Art is just place holder
[19:31] <~Dan> What is the (virtual) die mechanic?
[19:31] <+NoYJim> We have an artist we have recently started working with though
[19:31] <+NoYJim> Ah yes
[19:31] <+NoYJim> So all math is based off of "rolling a d20"
[19:32] <+NoYJim> We will have the option of it showing on screen or just doing the math to keep things fast.
[19:32] <+NoYJim> Here's a BIG thing we're working on too…
[19:33] <+NoYJim> Chip and I are designing a d20 that will connect to your device so you can actually roll a real die. We plan on it being available for other games that wish to adopt it as well
[19:34] <~Dan> You can roll a real die and have the device read it?
[19:36] <~Dan> (wb, NoY, Ch3ip)
[19:36] <+NoY> Sorry guys, something… happened. but we're back
[19:36] <+Ch3ip> Apparently, I had to log in again
[19:36] <+NoY> haha ok, np
[19:36] <~Dan> Did you see my question about the real die?
[19:36] <+NoY> yep, and yep
[19:36] <~Dan> Huh. I'm having a hard time visualizing that, but it sounds really cool.
[19:36] <+NoY> well
[19:36] <+NoY> it looks exactly like a d20
[19:37] <+xyphoid> do you have a skill system / task resolution mechanic?
[19:37] <+NoY> skill checks, yes. One moment
[19:38] <+NoY> (Link: http://gph.is/2cUHsvy)http://gph.is/2cUHsvy
[19:39] <+NoY> All stats will be available for checks
[19:40] <~Dan> So are there actual skills, or are skill rolls just based off of the attributes?
[19:41] <+NoY> For now just based of attributes. We want to keep it simple for anybody to play. All things streamlined
[19:42] * ~Dan nods
[19:43] <~Dan> Is it a roll-under or roll-and-add system?
[19:43] <+NoY> Roll and add
[19:44] <+NoY> DM's may have to adjust their checks for our system
[19:44] <+NoY> We don't plan on any leveling up and many upgrades to stats since the game is designed to complete in a night
[19:45] <~Dan> Does combat use the same task resolution system?
[19:46] <+NoY> Yep!
[19:46] <+NoY> I wanted to make a game where you only need a d20, another level of streamlining.
[19:46] <~Dan> Good man.
[19:47] <+NoY> haha excellent
[19:47] <~Dan> 🙂
[19:47] <+NoY> I dread the responses to that statement
[19:47] <~Dan> Why's that? Have you gotten negative feedback on that?
[19:47] <+Ch3ip> die hard players
[19:47] <+NoY> Different strokes for different folks
[19:47] <+Ch3ip> pun intended
[19:48] <+NoY> bah Chip 1 up!
[19:48] <+NoY> well
[19:48] <+NoY> a lot of players seem frustrated that it's not D&D or Pathfinder directly
[19:48] <+NoY> It's not
[19:49] <+NoY> It's a game your kid can play
[19:49] <+NoY> or you hardcore D&D friends
[19:49] <~Dan> Ah… Yeah, I can see that being a problem for some people.
[19:49] <+NoY> or your grandma
[19:49] <+NoY> It's a one night game
[19:49] <+NoY> It can played anytime with whoever is available
[19:49] <+NoY> so it needs to be easy to pick up and just play
[19:50] <+NoY> Lots of dice is crazy for new players, scary even
[19:50] <+NoY> math is scary
[19:50] <+NoY> pencils can be scary
[19:50] <~Dan> Pencils are stabby.
[19:50] <+NoY> they've lead to many a mishap
[19:50] <+NoY> lead…
[19:50] * ~Dan nods sagely
[19:51] <+Ch3ip> agreed
[19:51] <+NoY> See
[19:51] <+NoY> I love role playing games
[19:51] <+NoY> I want everyone to play
[19:51] <~Dan> A noble goal.
[19:52] <+NoY> in this age of tech I really thought I could cut the fat
[19:52] <+NoY> make it accessible
[19:52] <+NoY> So anybody can see why we love it so much
[19:53] <+NoY> No body should quite their regular game for NoY
[19:53] <+NoY> But it's perfect when your tank flakes
[19:53] <~Dan> Have you considered offering NoY as a regular game?
[19:53] <+NoY> regular?
[19:53] <+NoY> Nope, only awesome
[19:54] <+NoY> haha, sorry confused
[19:55] <~Dan> Heh. Well, I mean a pen-and-paper version using the NoY system.
[19:55] <+NoY> Oh yes for sure
[19:55] <+NoY> And maybe something a little more advanced
[19:55] <+NoY> We have lots of crazy ideas
[19:55] <+NoY> That is definitely in the works though
[19:56] <~Dan> Is this a class/level system?
[19:58] <+NoY> There are 8 races, 8 Classes, and 5 Alignments currently.
[19:58] <+NoY> No leveling, just better equipment
[19:59] <+NoY> there will be a single equipment slot and a single accessory slot.
[19:59] <~Dan> What are the races and classes?
[20:00] <+xyphoid> alignments? why?
[20:00] <+Ch3ip> races: dragoon, dwarf, belter-elf, elf, twally-elf, halflin, human, cambion
[20:01] <+Ch3ip> classes: fighter, wizard, warlock, rogue, hunter, knight, templar, bannerman
[20:02] <+Ch3ip> bear in mind these are working title. We do not want to step on anyones legal process
[20:02] <+NoY> The color of the armor will dictate their alignment.
[20:02] <+NoY> We want players to have to stick to correct role playing for their character
[20:02] <+NoY> That's a fun part of it that DM's can run how they like
[20:03] <~Dan> Does alignment have any mechanical effect?
[20:03] <+NoY> We'll also have male and female of every character, no stat change though
[20:04] <+xyphoid> 'correct role playing'? this game has required behaviour for alignments?
[20:04] <+NoY> no mechanical affect but we have considered adding static skill bonuses or abilities.
[20:04] <+xyphoid> what are the alignments?
[20:05] <+NoY> Correct role playing is up to the DM. I think it's fun to punish a good character for doing something bad. Up to the DM though
[20:06] <+Ch3ip> lawful-good, good, unaligned, evil, chaotic-evil
[20:06] <+xyphoid> what kind of punishments? out-of-character or in-character?
[20:06] <+Ch3ip> you, as a player, have the choice to play your character however you like, but the alignment can give you room to play
[20:06] <+NoY> Bonus a chaotic player is great too
[20:07] <+NoY> Ch3ip smaked a weasel! # coins fell out
[20:07] <~Dan> Do you consider lawful-good and chaotic-evil as "extra" good/"extra" evil?
[20:07] <+Ch3ip> yay! coins!
[20:07] <+NoY> in this case yes~ish. Different I guess as oppsed to pure
[20:08] <+Ch3ip> xyphoid, again, the punishment is up to the dm
[20:08] <+NoY> or reward
[20:09] <~Dan> I'm assuming that halflins are halflings/hobbits… What are belter-elves and twally-elves?
[20:09] <+NoY> Belter is gaelic for better, twally is lesser. High-elves and Half-elves
[20:10] <+NoY> We went all Scotish on our naming theme.
[20:10] <+NoY> Also, don't want to get sued. A lot of names may change
[20:10] <+NoY> to protect the innocent
[20:10] <+Ch3ip> or guilty
[20:10] <~Dan> Are cambions half-demons?
[20:11] <+NoY> BING!
[20:11] <~Dan> 🙂
[20:11] <+NoY> (Link: http://unnaturalworld.wikia.com/wiki/Cambions)http://unnaturalworld.wikia.com/wiki/Cambions
[20:12] <+NoY> We actually have put a lot of thought in to the world
[20:13] <~Dan> How do you distinguish between wizard and warlock?
[20:13] <+NoY> Wizard is straight magigy controller
[20:13] <+NoY> Warlock is your resident alchemist
[20:13] <+NoY> Warlocks get a bonus to Item usage too
[20:14] <+NoY> Potion might be 1.25x effective, etc.
[20:15] <+NoY> Hunters get a bonus to being snuck up on and rogues get a bonus to sneaking up on. Great for blasting through a dungeon
[20:16] <+Ch3ip> brb
[20:16] <+NoY> I'm still here
[20:17] <~Dan> Wait… It's easier to sneak up on hunters?
[20:17] <+NoY> not opposite
[20:18] <+NoY> may have said that weird
[20:18] <+NoY> harder to sneak up on a hunter i.e. get back attacked or ambushed
[20:18] <~Dan> Ah, gotcha.
[20:18] <+NoY> If you have a rogue in your party it's easier to back attack or ambush monsters
[20:19] <~Dan> What are knights in this context?
[20:19] <+NoY> Heavy armor tanks, not healy like a Paladin though
[20:19] <+NoY> Templars are your clericy dudes
[20:20] <+NoY> Bannerman are warlords, hypemen
[20:20] <~Dan> Hypemen?
[20:20] <~Dan> (Howdy, Zaleramancer!)
[20:20] <+Zaleramancer> (Hello!)
[20:20] <+NoY> Haste, Strength/Dex bonuses, row change
[20:21] <+NoY> Turn order is worth mentioning.
[20:21] <+NoY> Each player has a speed stat
[20:22] <+NoY> a player with a higher speed stat will go more often, may lap other players
[20:22] <+NoY> all indicated by a turn order bar at the top of the tabletop screen
[20:22] <+NoY> Center is who's up now and next is to the right. Player who just went is to the left.
[20:23] <+NoY> After your turn bar slides left.
[20:23] <+NoY> DM can decide if this is visible or not
[20:23] <~Dan> (Howdy, Dirian!)
[20:23] <+NoY> And if you can see enemies on it or not
[20:26] <~Dan> How developed is the game's setting?
[20:26] <+NoY> As in the world?
[20:28] * ~Dan nods
[20:28] <+NoY> OK here we go
[20:28] <+NoY> So
[20:28] <+NoY> imagine a world…
[20:28] <+Ch3ip> so, the dungeon generator will build random dungeons for you, and you can replace them as you go, as a DM
[20:29] <+NoY> ignore Chip
[20:29] <+Ch3ip> ignore ch3ip
[20:29] <+NoY> the world is turned on it's axis
[20:29] <+NoY> what would be be the north pole is now facing the sun
[20:30] <+NoY> the south pole is facing away from the sun
[20:30] <+NoY> the world still rotates on the equator though, the area between the two poles.
[20:31] <+NoY> the pole facing the sun is always hot, it is called the Sun side
[20:31] <+NoY> the pole facing away is always cold and called the Star side.
[20:31] <+NoY> The equator is temperate and is called the Green.
[20:32] <+NoY> the Green rotates and is at a slight tilt so it fluctuates between day and night
[20:32] <+NoY> all elves and men live in the green
[20:33] <+NoY> Halflins live on the border of the Green on the Star side.
[20:33] <+NoY> Dwarves live in an ice castle on the far Star side
[20:33] <+NoY> Dragoons live on the border of the Green on the Sun side and Cambions in a glass castle on the far Sun side
[20:34] <+NoY> Traveling out of the Green is trecherous and may require special equipment or spells to protect the frail
[20:34] <~Dan> All the Dwarves and Cambions live in one castle for each race?
[20:34] <+NoY> Home base
[20:34] <+NoY> They branch out
[20:35] <+NoY> but this is a very clicky world
[20:35] <+NoY> Dwarves and Cambions are Ice and Fire resistant and Fire and Ice vulnerable respectively
[20:36] <+NoY> Halflins and Dragoons less so, but still
[20:36] <~Dan> Interesting… So Dwarves aren't the experts at the forge in this setting?
[20:36] <+NoY> They're still mechanically minded but cold as hell
[20:36] <+NoY> Very pale, gingers
[20:37] <+NoY> no souls
[20:37] <+NoY> I kid
[20:37] <+Ch3ip> they would still need massive fires, so there could be potential for forges
[20:37] <+Ch3ip> forgery
[20:37] <+Ch3ip> no, forges
[20:38] <+NoY> The Cambion and Dwarven castles both go under ground too, more moderate temps there
[20:38] <+NoY> The Dragoons and Halflins tend to be cave dwellers.
[20:39] <+NoY> Halflins are kind of like wildlings on GoT
[20:39] <~Dan> (Howdy, BlasterKyubey210!)
[20:40] <+NoY> Cambions and Dragoons have wings too. They can fly short distances
[20:40] <~Dan> Are there any big bad guys in the world?
[20:40] <+NoY> Diversity
[20:41] <+Ch3ip> like giant snow worms?
[20:41] <+NoY> Constantly at ends with the other races. Peace but fragile
[20:42] <+NoY> Cambions, Dragoons, and Belter Elves are all descendants of more ethereal beings.
[20:42] <+NoY> Humans most likely came from space a long time ago and watered down the races
[20:43] <+NoY> Leaves room for ancient tech too 😉
[20:44] <+NoY> The Moon is a Dragon egg. There's a whole story of how it got there and why the world is turned the way it is
[20:44] <+NoY> The moon represents Chaos, it's why the Green fluctuates
[20:44] <~Dan> Wow. Dragons must be pretty large.
[20:45] <+Ch3ip> space dragons
[20:45] <+NoY> Yep, space dragons
[20:46] <+NoY> ok so here's the story
[20:46] <+NoY> A Space Dragon chose this world for it's nest.
[20:46] <+NoY> At that time the world's orbit was similar to ours
[20:47] <+NoY> then one day a human space ship came in to the wrong neighborhood of space
[20:47] <+NoY> the Space dragon was caught off guard and freaked out
[20:47] <+NoY> It pushed off the planet to fight the human ship
[20:48] <+NoY> in doing so it messed up the orbit and it's egg departed in to a moon like orbit around the planet
[20:48] <+NoY> the Dragon and humans fought
[20:48] <+NoY> The Dragon was killed and drifted in to the sun
[20:48] <+NoY> But the humans crashed on to the planet and were never rescued
[20:48] <~Dan> Sheesh. Must have been a darned big space ship.
[20:49] <+NoY> More powerful than large, an ark of sorts though
[20:49] <+Ch3ip> or had really big guns
[20:50] <+NoY> The Cambions, Belter-Elves, and Dragoons were already there.
[20:50] <+NoY> When Humans arrived the Belter-Elves befriended them.
[20:50] <+NoY> Races mixed creating the other elves
[20:51] <+NoY> Halflins and Dwarves were mutations that evolved over time from living in the colder climates
[20:51] <+NoY> You guys had enough? haha
[20:52] * ~Dan chuckles
[20:52] <~Dan> How large of a bestiary does NoY have?
[20:52] <+xyphoid> so where's all this setting mateiral – is there world desc info in the apps?
[20:52] <+Ch3ip> still working on the bestiary
[20:53] <+Ch3ip> it will be in the apps
[20:53] <+NoY> We plan on about 150 unique enemies
[20:53] <~Dan> In the time remaining, is there anything we haven't covered that you'd like to bring up?
[20:54] <+NoY> Also color variations
[20:54] <+NoY> An animated intro will likely tell the world story
[20:55] <+Ch3ip> we have a compendium that has all the reference material, including the bestiary and info about the world
[20:55] <+NoY> The game is still under developement and will be a while before we can unleash it on the world. But we're doing our best to chip away at it. Pun intended
[20:55] <+Ch3ip> ha
[20:55] <~Dan> Heh. 🙂
[20:55] <+Ch3ip> ha
[20:55] <+Ch3ip> ha
[20:56] <+NoY> We plan on making the battle system next and releasing it as a stand alone game
[20:56] <+NoY> Arena is the working name
[20:56] <~Dan> Make sure you keep Chip happy.
[20:56] <+NoY> it will be for Android most likely and only as a beta
[20:56] <+NoY> Oh yes
[20:56] <~Dan> Things are tough when the Chips are down.
[20:56] <+NoY> hahaha
[20:56] <+Ch3ip> this will never end
[20:57] <+NoY> Arena will be online
[20:57] <+NoY> Form a party and battle other parties online
[20:57] <+NoY> I always wanted to do that in Final Fantasy.
[20:57] <~Dan> As always, my tip jar is here if anyone is feeling generous: (Link: https://gmshoe.wordpress.com/the-gmshoes-tip-jar/)https://gmshoe.wordpress.com/the-gmshoes-tip-jar/ 🙂
[20:57] <+NoY> 🙂
[20:58] <+Ch3ip> thanks for having us on
[20:58] <+NoY> Yes, thanks a ton!
[20:58] <~Dan> Thank you for joining us!
[20:58] <~Dan> I hope you'll feel free to come by any time you like.
[20:58] <+NoY> We can answer any last questions if anybody has any
[20:58] <+NoY> For sure!
[20:58] <~Dan> If you'll give me just a moment, I'll get the log posted and get you the link.

(TERRE HAUTE, Ind.) - Many of us will catch a cold at some point this season. But one virus can have a dangerous impact on kids if it goes untreated.
This sickness is called respiratory syncytial virus or RSV. According to health care professionals, it's popping up in doctors' offices everywhere.
According to research with Nationwide Children's Hospital, RSV cases have doubled in past two weeks.
This sickness is nothing new, but health care professionals at Union Hospital say they take it very seriously because it can cause long term problems for newborns and toddlers.
They say they've only admitted one child in their hospital for RSV this season.
Experts say first the virus appears as a common cold with kids, including a runny nose and cough. But when symptoms don't away after four to five days, they say it can turn into a long-term problem, such as lung disease.
"If you do have a child who gets admitted with RSV, it is something we take very seriously even though it's a common virus we see," said Jaimee Goodman, Director of Maternal Child Services at Union Hospital in Terre Haute. "You could expect to see a child in isolation room, we would provide gowns and masks for that."
Union Hospital says during RSV season, they have restriction on visitors, especially in the newborn intensive care unit.
Goodman says RSV season is October – March.
If you are concerned your child could be at risk and want to schedule an appointment with a doctor, click here for a list of some pediatricians in Terre Haute.

FRANKFURT (FTMW) – Dresdner Bank (DE:535000), Germany's third-largest bank, is in talks to buy New York investment bank Wasserstein Perella & Co for between $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The two are haggling over price in the two-month old talks, which are advanced but could still falter, an unidentified source close to the negotiations told the paper.
Dresdner (DRSDY) refused to comment on the report to FTMarketWatch.
Up for sale are Wasserstein's investment banking operations, which include the advisory business and a small stock and high yield bond business, but not the firm's private-equity activities.
Failed marriages
The German bank has already failed at two domestic link-ups this year and lacks significant U.S. investment banking activities at a time when competitors are consolidating to form global investment banks.
Rival Deutsche Bank (DE:514000), Germany's largest bank, bought Bankers Trust in 1998 as part of a push to become a pure investment bank.
Wasserstein is ranked fifth in U.S. mergers this year having advised Time Warner (TWX) in its efforts to merge with America Online (AOL) and UBS (UBS) in its purchase of Paine Webber, the WSJ reported.
The accord, if successful, would give founder Bruce Wasserstein a senior role in Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, Dresdner's investment bank, as well as a seat on its board, the paper reported.
Dresdner shares fell 0.24 euros to 52.01 in early Frankfurt trading.

From yesterday's workout.
Not surprising, but still... REALLY sore. I originally had a workout scheduled today, but work and ridiculous soreness got in the way. I'll just move the workout to Friday morning instead.
Pike's got practice this weekend, and I'm pretty pumped about it. It is time for the D team to stop letting the O team play poorly and win. If the D Team gets that same swagger in practice that we get in games, our team will be stronger for it. The lack of consistent practice attendance is killing us right now in specifically this sort of way, as it is difficult to determine what your team's attitude is when you have a different team every weekend.
Just another obstacle to overcome, and I have full confidence that we will.
We, quite simply, MUST.
Workout Total:
20 min stretching

So when you have decided to pick an affiliate, you should first decide which company will give you more profits and which product is likely to sell more. There are a lot of affiliates available in the market today. Some affiliates offer more money than others. Remember that a program which pays a profit of $10 per sale will bring more sales than a product with $100 profit because the frequency of sale of the previous one will be more. Many a times, some popular companies will offer fewer profits, because they are already established and they know that their products sell very well. On the other side smaller companies want to establish themselves in the market, they may offer more commissions. But their products are more likely to move slowly.
Remember the rule that when picking up affiliate products for sale from your website, try to pick the products which will be of interest to your site visitors depending on the niche which your site is dealing with. If you do not do so then the group to which you are showcasing your products will be of no use. Choose product depending on the type of your website. If your site talks about computers then try to sell affiliate products related to computer peripherals etc. If your site talks about fishing, then sell products such as fishing nets, baits etc. If knowingly or unknowingly, you try to promote your products to a group of people who are not interested in your things, then all your efforts will be a total waste.
There are two different ways to find a good affiliate product for your niche website. Nowadays there are a lot of websites which have tied up with different affiliate programs. You can join these companies and pick the various affiliate products suitable for sale on your website. One good example of such a company is Commission Junction. The other way to find a good affiliate product is do a search for sites selling that product. Once you find it, try to contact the owner of that website, whether he is offering affiliate commissions on that.

I used to think if you stepped into a nasty puddle of water or car fluid in a parking lot, you would be mutated like TMNT or the Toxic Avenger!
I used to believe the 'To Let' signs on buildings meant there was a tiolet there
I used to think that there was a highly complex underground tube system that connected public mailboxes around the world - once you popped your letter into the mailbox, the underground system would figure out where it's going and pop it out on the other end.
I thought the mail man was only for private, home mails only...
When my neighborhood friend from New York moved to Florida, I expected my new neighbors moving into the house to be from Florida as I was sure they were exchanging houses. I had no concept about buying and selling and I assumed it was just a trade. When I found out the new neighbors were from across town, I was very concerned about what happened to the poor family from Florida.
When I was 2 or 3 I used to believe that, when you mailed a letter, it went down a chute under the mailbox and was somehow (pneumatically?) whisked into your mailbox at home. When walking along the street with my mother, I used to peer under mailboxes, looking for the chute.
I thought the painted white lines of a crosswalk were meant to lift you up a little higher so cars could see you.
i used to think next door neighbors were "next store neighbors"
When I was little, I assumed that gas stations had to be built over underground gasoline deposits (naturally, because gas comes from the ground, into the pumps). So when they knocked down the FoodTown by my house and built a gas station in its place, i could only wonder why they didnt just build an Exxon to begin with.
when i was younger everytime we went to the parade we would stand on the sidewalk and wait, so i thought that on any given day if you stood on the sidewalk for long enough a parade would come.
I used to think that the traffic signs saying, "No Parking, $5 Fine," meant no parking unless you paid $5. Then it was fine.
I moved houses for the first time when I was four and I strongly believed that you traded houses with someone else. I realized it was a lot more complicated than this when we were at the buyer of our house's current house and I told my parents I didn't like their house so we couldn't trade with them.
the numbering in our street when I was young went even down one side and odd numbers down the other,So i lived at number 3 and my friend lived next door at number 5,we used to think that number 4 was demolished because somone was murdered there...no amount of digging turned up any eveidence though.
you know those bags of sand used to hold down the construction horses? well, for some reason i always thought they were filled with poop, not sand. they had that lumpiness to them. i wondered, how do they get the poop in there? does someone hold the bag under their butt when they go poop?
When I was a young child I used to believe that the cats eyes in the middle of the road were actually lights operated by a man in an underground room beneath the road who switched them on and off whenever traffic drove along the road. I never worked out how he knew the traffic was there so he had to switch them on.
My younger brother and his friends used to believe that the yellow boxes with flashing amber lights on top of them used in construction sites were tv cameras. They spent hours dancing and singing in front of them.
The first time I ever saw the Rose Parade on TV the announcer said something like "the floats are all made entirely of flowers." I took him literally. I did not understand that they were DECORATED entirely with flowers. So I wondered for several years thereafter, how the floats were able to move under their own power -- how, in other words, one could build a working engine, tires, and all the rest, entirely out of flowers!
All the mothers in our neighborhood tried to prevent us from playing in the open irrigation ditch near the main road by telling us that dogs peed in the ditch. Somehow, this was supposed to induce an eeeuuuuw reaction in us.
No, it didn't work. Never had a chance of working with little boys.
As a kid I once asked an adult how all the streetlights knew when to turn on and off. I was told that they were all linked to a clock.
I immediateley imagined each streetlight as having an alarm clock inside it (like the old style bell & hammer ticking ones). But I was told they were all linked to the same clock.
I therefore thought that every streetlight was physically coming out of a MASSIVE alarm clock underground inside the earth, big enough for every streetlight in the world to come out of.
I believed that all houses came equipped with power, water, and phones.
I believed that families lived in houses, and single people lived in apartments.
I thought that they built gas stations on top of where the oil deposits were in the ground. That's why the gas stations in my neighborhood were all clustered on corners of the same intersection.
When the big gas trucks would come along, they were filling up their tanker from the gas that was in the ground to take it somewhere else.
Also, when a gas station went out of business, it was because the finished sucking the gas out of the ground so they had to move somewhere else.

What is Placemaking?
Placemaking is the process through which we collectively shape our public realm to maximize shared value. Rooted in community-based participation, Placemaking involves the planning, design, management and programming of public spaces. More than just creating better urban design of public spaces, Placemaking facilitates creative patterns of activities and connections (cultural, economic, social, ecological) that define a place and support its ongoing evolution. Placemaking is how people are more collectively and intentionally shaping our world, and our future on this planet.

WESTON, Mass. – Shaun Wedderburn (Bronx, N.Y.) registered his first double double with a career-high 21 points and 10 rebounds and the Regis (Mass.) men's basketball used a big second half run to take down a scrappy Rivier team 87-70, Saturday in Great Northeast Athletic Conference action at Higgins Court.
Tristian Givens (Windsor, Conn.) had a monster game for the Raiders whose play was not indicative of their now 1-10 (0-3 GNAC) record. Givens, who hit eight of first 10 shots finished with a game-high 32 points on 11-19 shooting. Issaiah Chappelle (Concord, N.H.) scored 13 points and Ian Wade (Windsor Locks, Conn.) pulled down a team-high nine rebounds.
After leading by only five points at the break, Regis (5-6, 2-1 GNAC) outscored the Raiders by 12 in the second half extending the lead to as many as 20 points. Rivier went cold from the field midway through the period, going without a field goal for 9:21 while the Pride went on a 19-2 run to take a 75-55 lead with 5:05 to play and just about sealing the win.
Regis opened up the game on an 8-2 run after a Wedderburn layup then later pushed the lead to 13 points after Jordan Seldon's (Dorchester, Mass.) bucket put the Pride up 29-16 with 8:19 to play in the period.
The Raiders finally got it going and did so in a hurry, reeling off nine straight points to shave the Pride lead to only four points. Givens and Chappelle accounted for all the points in the run to put the scoreline at 29-25 with 6:45 remaining in the half.
Regis recovered and pushed the lead back up to eight on a Seldon layup and the teams entered halftime with the Pride leading 43-38.
Regis next returns to action Tuesday, Jan. 9 at Emmanuel. Tipoff is set for 7:00 p.m. Rivier hosts Castleton the same day also with a 7:00 p.m. start time.

As an employee owned company our mission is to make you a customer for life. ** Given year, make, model, and options. Reviews: * Rewarding handling; wide range of engines available, from a plug-in hybrid model to the ultrafast Turbo S trim; exquisite interior; highly customizable. Source: Edmunds * Now in its second generation, the Cayenne has firmly established its reputation as a pure, no-compromise Porsche. The contours of the front section draw the eye, reflecting excellent dynamics. The elongated hood is clearly reminiscent of Porsche race cars from the 1960s, and is perfect for a Porsche lover in need of extra space, as it holds five passengers and plenty of cargo. With a choice of 5 different engines you can opt for including the Diesel with 240hp/406 lb-ft of torque, the 420hp V6 in the S, the 333hp V6 mated to a 95hp electric motor in the s E-Hybrid, the 520hp V8 in the Turbo, or the 570hp V8 in the Turbo S. The Cayenne is also outstanding as an off-road vehicle with its nimble acceleration and superb handling. When on such a trip, the refrigerated glove compartment just might come in handy! The front wheel arches are extremely well defined, while the power-domed hood further underlines the sheer power and resolution within. Other distinguishing features include the visibly drawn-in lower door panels and contoured roof spoiler. The interior is both sporty and comfortable. The center console rises to meet the dashboard for an involved drive. Both front seats enjoy 12-way seats with four-way lumbar support. The cavernous rear cabin area features split-folding seats with fore/aft adjustment as well as extra legroom and great comfort. Standard equipment on the Cayenne includes AWD, water-repellent front side windows, a height-adjustable power liftgate, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. For safety, the Cayenne has six airbags, brake pad wear indicators, and start/stop with the automatic transmission options. Finally, this Porsche rocks out with a ten-speaker audio system monitored by a seven-inch touchscreen. Source: The Manufacturer SummaryView More

TopicI got banned from an admin because I muted him
I was in a game with a outfrag admin by the name of "Jaffa <3 Liquid" and he banned me from the servers because I muted him because otherwise we would have argued over the most pathetic thing ever in CS:GO. Skins, why cause its CS:GO. I dont feel like its very necessary to ban me for doing the right thing and that i believe this is showing abuse of power which isnt accpetable.
Would really like to know why this person was so immature and childish in banning me.

According to the brand, the Rolex Deepsea Challenge swiss replica watches is able to resist 13.6 tonnes of pressure. That is up from the 3.1 tonnes of pressure on the Rolex Deepsea. How is this possible? More metal... and sapphire. The super-sized Submariner style case is a chunky block of Rolex replica watches sale is very nice 904L steel being 51.4mm wide and 28.5mm thick. The sapphire crystal alone is 14.3mm thick. It is a tank, made to resist the onslaught of pressure from all side.

NHS Digital has published national guidance setting clear expectations for health and care organisations who want to use cloud services or data offshoring to store patient information.
The guidance will ensure that organisations know how to use these solutions safely and securely, especially in the light of the fact that tighter restrictions on the processing and transfer of personal data are being brought in through the launch of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May.
The standards will enable NHS organisations to benefit from the flexibility and cost savings associated with the use of cloud facilities.
The document also highlights the benefits for organisations choosing to use cloud facilities. These include cost savings associated with not having to buy and maintain hardware and software, and comprehensive back-up and fast recovery of systems. Together these features cut the risk of health information not being available due to local hardware failure.
It gives a more detailed explanation to help organisations comply with expected standards when choosing to adopt these technologies. It sets out the legalities and best practice as to how data should be stored and used.
Rob Shaw, Deputy Chief Executive at NHS Digital, says: "It is for individual organisations to decide if they wish to use cloud and data offshoring but there are a huge range of benefits in doing so, such as greater data security protection and reduced running costs when implemented effectively.
"This guidance will give greater clarity about how these technologies can be used and how data, including confidential patient information, can be securely managed."
The guidance makes it clear that data must only be hosted within the UK, the European Economic Area, in countries deemed adequate by the EU, or in the US where it is covered by the Privacy Shield. NHS Digital has worked in partnership with the Department of Health, NHS England and NHS Improvement to create the guidance.

"Look at every place where a women is in control," said Peterson. "You see nothing but confusion. There's no good in it at all, none."
Peterson's sermon began with comments about Sandra Fluke, doubling down on Rush Limbaugh's slut remarks. But halfway through his speech, he kicked the hate into another gear:
PETERSON: "I think that one of the greatest mistakes that America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote. We should have never turned that over to women."
"It was a big mistake…these women are voting in the wrong people. They're voting in people who are evil, who agree with them…Men in the good old days understood the nature of the women, they were not afraid to deal with them."
"Wherever women are taking over, evil reigns."
Amazingly, just last week, Sean Hannity, who sits on the board of Peterson's group BOND: Brotherhood Organization for a New Destiny, invited him to sit on his Great American Panel once again to discuss the president's comments on the one-year anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden.
But the conversation never quite made it that far. Fellow panelist Kirsten Powers, a Fox News columnist and political analyst, abandoned the segment to hit back against Peterson and his anti-women views, over the objections of Hannity who wanted to spend his time attacking President Obama.
For two minutes, Powers and Peterson exchanged barbs while Hannity and the third panelist, Indiana state Treasurer Richard Mourdock (R), sat quietly on the sidelines. Powers told Hannity that she had no idea Peterson would be a guest on the show alongside her, and invited him to repudiate Peterson's remarks (he declined).
Peterson has made appearances on Fox News for years, fielding frequent invites from Hannity in particular despite Lee's history of hateful comments. And it's not like Hannity had no warning. Peterson has previously said he "thank[s] God for slavery, because had it not, the blacks that are here would have been stuck in Africa." He also called the victims of Hurricane Katrina "welfare-pampered," "lazy," and "immoral."
And while Powers was rightfully outraged at Fox News' decision to offer Lee a national platform, Hannity was unapologetic, quickly shutting down the spat and pivoting to his usual agenda of attacking the president.
