New Mechanics from Commander 2016
When I was playing Magic: the Gathering back in the day, Commander (also known as EDH [Elder Dragon Highlander]) didn't exist. It was created in 2011 and has become a very popular, very social way to play Magic the Gathering. If you're unfamiliar with this format and are interested in exploring it more, visit MTG Commander.
Commander 2016 releases November 11th, 2016. There are five decks, each with a unique four-color Commander.
Entropic Uprising led by Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder
Open Hostility led by Saskia the Unyielding
Stalwart Unity led by Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis
Breed Lethality led by Atraxa, Praetors' Voice
Invent Superiority led by Breya, Etherium Shaper
What deck are you most excited for?
Hands down, the most exciting mechanic to be introduced with Commander 2016 is Partner. Traditionally the Commander format allows you to have one Commander in the Command Zone, however with Partner, you can have two. This allows you to use two other Legendary Creatures instead of a single Legendary Creature. Let's take for example the pre-constructed deck Breed Lethality. Since this deck is designed as a Green-White-Blue-Black deck, you could use Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker instead of Atraxa, Praetors' Voice.
The same Commander rules will apply though based on the casting color of the Commander cards as well as the rules text. So if you choose two Commander cards whom only share three colors instead of four, this will alter your entire deck and the cards chosen within it. The Commander rules apply to each Commander individually, most importantly for the "commander tax" rule of adding two colorless to the casting cost when cast more than once. The damage dealing rule also applies to each Commander individually, not combined in any way. Any card which calls for a commander to be selected or identified for action purposes, targets one of the two Commander cards at a time. For example, Command Beacon allows you to move your Commander card from the command zone to your hand, this would apply then to one of the two commanders, not both at the same time.
Official Rules for Partner
702.123 Partner
702.123a Partner is an ability that modifies the rules for deck construction in the Commander format (see rule 903), and it functions before the game begins. Rather than a single legendary creature card, you may designate two legendary creature cards as your commander if each has partner.
702.123b Your deck must contain exactly 100 cards, including its two commanders. Both commanders begin the game in the command zone.
702.123c A rule or effect that refers to your commander's color identity refers to the combined color identities of your two commanders. See rule 903.4.
702.123d Except for determining the color identity of your deck, the two commanders function independently. When casting a commander with partner, ignore how many times your other commander has been cast. When determining whether a player has been dealt 21 or more combat damage by the same commander, consider damage from each of your two commanders separately. See rule 903.11a.
702.123e If an effect refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to either one. If an effect causes you to perform an action on your commander and it could affect both, you choose which it refers to at the time the effect is applied.
Undaunted is a pretty simple mechanic in that a spell with this mechanic costs 1 colorless less to cast for each opponent you have. Typically the Commander game format is intended to be played with several people, usually four players total. As a result, undaunted can be pretty useful if you bomb of a spell is 2, 3 or more colorless less to cast.
In the below example of Seeds of Renewal, if you were playing against 3 other players, you could return two creatures from your graveyard to your hand for just 1 Forest and 3 colorless mana. That's pretty outstanding, now imagine if you had 6 other opponents, you could do the same thing for just 1 Forest.
Official Rules for Undaunted
702.124 Undaunted
702.124a Undaunted is a static ability that functions while the spell with undaunted is on the stack. Undaunted means "This spell costs 1 less to cast for each opponent you have."
702.124b Players who have left the game are not counted when determining how many opponents you have.
702.124c If a spell has multiple instances of undaunted, each of them applies.
Basic Landcycling
Cycling is a mechanic that has been around since Urza's Saga and is represented here in the form of Basic Landcycling. The Commander 2016 decks are all designed to be four color decks. Accordingly, finding that one color of mana that you need could be the difference between winning or loosing in a clutch moment.
Below is Absorb Vis, which is from Conflux, but is perfectly usable in Commander. In this instance, you could cast it as the spell for 1 Swamp and 6 colorless mana in order to drain 4 life from an opponent while gaining 4 life. Or you could landcycle it for 1 Swamp and 1 colorless mana to go fetch any basic land that could help you out greatly.
Official Rules for Cycling
702.28. Cycling
702.28a Cycling is an activated ability that functions only while the card with cycling is in a player's hand. "Cycling [cost]" means "[Cost], Discard this card: Draw a card."
702.28b Although the cycling ability can be activated only if the card is in a player's hand, it continues to exist while the object is on the battlefield and in all other zones. Therefore objects with cycling will be affected by effects that depend on objects having one or more activated abilities.
702.28c Some cards with cycling have abilities that trigger when they're cycled. "When you cycle [this card]" means "When you discard [this card] to pay a cycling cost." These abilities trigger from whatever zone the card winds up in after it's cycled.
702.28d Typecycling is a variant of the cycling ability. "[Type]cycling [cost]" means "[Cost], Discard this card: Search your library for a [type] card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library." This type is usually a subtype (as in "mountaincycling") but can be any card type, subtype, supertype, or combination thereof (as in "basic landcycling").
702.28e Typecycling abilities are cycling abilities, and typecycling costs are cycling costs. Any cards that trigger when a player cycles a card will trigger when a card is discarded to pay a typecycling cost. Any effect that stops players from cycling cards will stop players from activating cards' typecycling abilities. Any effect that increases or reduces a cycling cost will increase or reduce a typecycling cost.
Commander is a very social game format that is meant to be more casual. The 100-card decks are pretty big, the rules are pretty specific and the fun is pretty bountiful. This new Commander 2016 introduces 56 brand new cards to Magic the Gathering and each deck should cost about $35. The new Commanders in these decks are pretty interesting and each has fascinating stories behind them. All of these Commander cards are legal for play in the Commander, Vintage, and Legacy formats. They aren't legal for play in the Standard or Modern formats.

Gibbs has spent his life pushing boundaries. He entered Amherst in 1959 as one of the only African Americans in his class. Then, Gibbs opted to pursue a career in international business, an unusual choice at the time for both an Amherst graduate and an African American. With this background, one might expect to hear a story of conflict and controversy. However, that is not Gibbs' story. Instead, he attributes his success to hard work and quiet dedication, while his overwhelming gratitude and generosity is evident through a new scholarship he co-sponsors, the Asa J. Davis Prize, which is awarded annually to a student who has done exceptional work on African and black diaspora history.
Trading "Little Three" Towns
Gibbs grew up in Middletown, Conn., only three blocks away from the Wesleyan campus. He attended Middletown High School and, as the third-ranked student in his high school class, felt pressured to attend Wesleyan.
"They kind of recruited me, as they do nowadays with football, but I was not an athlete," he said. "I was more of a scholar."
His high school dean, however, knew distinguished Amherst dean Eugene S. Wilson '29 and encouraged Gibbs to look at Amherst. Gibbs visited the campus and liked what he saw, so he decided to apply and, upon gaining acceptance, to attend.
In 1959, Gibbs was one of only five African-American students to enter Amherst in a class of more than 250. By the time he graduated, two had dropped out, leaving Gibbs, Williams Davis and Hugh Price (author of "This African American Life") as the only three African Americans in the Class of 1963. Gibbs also entered Amherst from a public school, while most students in the class came from private institutions.
"There were no support groups or any of the things that people talk about today when it comes to African Americans on campuses," Davis said.
Far from feeling out of place, however, Gibbs thrived throughout his four years at Amherst. He was active in the Lord Jeff Society, a group that met incoming athletic teams and welcomed them to campus.
Live music was popular among the fraternities at the Five Colleges, and Gibbs was the leader of a band, playing guitar and bass. He played all over New England, opening for saxophonist Cannonball Adderley at the University of Connecticut on one occasion while making some money through his appearances.
A psychology major, Gibbs opted to enter business school instead of pursuing his master's degree, an unusual path for an Amherst graduate at the time.
"Business? It was almost like a bad word," he recalled.
After receiving a scholarship from Columbia, Gibbs enrolled in the MBA program. Once again, he was one of the few African Americans in his class. Still, Gibbs had few problems as he studied international business. Harold Flowers, a classmate at Columbia, recalled that Gibbs was both mature and focused, and that Gibbs worked evenings in order to pay for his education.
A Small Town Boy's Dream
Upon graduating from business school, Gibbs first worked in consumer product advertising, promoting and marketing for pharmaceutical company Warner Lambert.
He received his first taste of international travel through consulting with Warner Lambert associates in Latin America and went to Pfizer after two years.
Gibbs rose to the role of product manager at Pfizer. He was, once again, one of few black people in such a role in corporate America. At the time when he worked for these companies from 1964 to 1966, much of the Civil Rights Movement had not yet taken complete hold.
Flowers, the first black person to work in IBM's finance division, called Gibbs a pioneer. The '60s, he claimed, opened the corporate experience for African Americans.
"Wherever you went, you were the only guy," Flowers said. "You were the only African American there."
Still, Gibbs did not feel he was treated unfairly.
"[I] never ran into any discrimination that I could recall, never ran into any problems, because I always worked hard, kept my nose clean and was a good employee," he said.
Going International
After having a baby with his wife, Dorris, Gibbs began working for Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick, N.J.
Identified as a top candidate for management, he traveled around the world as an internal consultant for Johnson & Johnson. With a presence in 68 countries, Johnson & Johnson provided Gibbs the opportunity to travel throughout the world. Eventually, however, fatigue set in for Gibbs, and he looked for a more settled role.
A few years later, Gibbs assumed management of Johnson & Johnson's operations in Puerto Rico, becoming the first African American in the company's history to run their operations outside of the U.S. states.
The company's chairman then asked Gibbs to take a leave of absence and work on former president Ronald Reagan's 1984 Commission on Executive Exchange, a program where government employees would work in the private sector and employees of private companies worked in government.
Here, Gibbs was assigned to the American embassy in Kingston, Jamaica, where he helped promote trade of Jamaican-made goods and products with the United States, primarily furniture. He brought Jamaican executives to American factories in North Carolina, where they could learn about American production methods, and also met Reagan in the White House.
Gibbs then returned to Johnson & Johnson and assumed the position of general manager in Panama. In charge of five companies in Central America, Gibbs found himself living in Panama during the dictatorship of Manuel Antonio Noriega while the Nicaraguan Revolution raged nearby.
Perhaps Gibbs' most remarkable trait is his ability to take on seemingly difficult situations and easily navigate them, almost to the point of making them seem mundane.
"Those were some very tough situations, but I succeeded," he said simply of his time in Panama.
After 22 years of working for Johnson & Johnson, with eight of them spent overseas, Gibbs retired from the company. He went into franchising for a few years before retiring completely in 2005.
Giving Back to Amherst
Gibbs came back to Amherst during the late 1970's and met Professor Asa J. Davis. Davis joined Amherst's faculty in 1970 and taught at the college for 22 years. During his distinguished career, Davis established the college's Department of Black Studies.
For years, Gibbs had considered ways to give back to Amherst as a "thank you" for the enormous impact the school had on his life. He reached out to his classmates Price and Davis, looking to set up a scholarship Davis' name. For their 55th reunion, the three managed to settle on a scholarship and Gibbs plans to donate over $1 million to the fund.
The prize's official title is "The Asa J. Davis Prize for Academic Distinction in the History of Africa and the Black Diaspora," and the college's history department gives it annually to "the student who has demonstrated outstanding achievement in the study of the history of Africa and the Black Diaspora and whose work best reflects the comprehensive interest of Asa Davis in historical and cultural contacts between Africa, the Old World and the Americas," according to the college's website.
Deriving its funds from a permanent endowment, the scholarship will provide financial aid to students of color with a demonstrated need, preferably in their junior or senior year with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Students with an interest in attending graduate school for international business or political science will receive additional preference.
Gibbs hoped to add attract more Amherst students to his chosen field with this final part. "We need more young people to think globally," he said.
In donating to this scholarship, Gibbs is once again a trailbrazer, becoming the first African American to create a $1 million endowed fund in the college's history.
Flowers thinks the scholarship and Gibbs' generous donation speaks volumes about Gibbs' character.
"He didn't forget where he came from," Flowers said. "He didn't lose his sense of perspective."
After years of pioneering in every field he entered, Gibbs' focus is now on improving his golf game — a relaxation that is well earned.

About Maria:
Maria V. Snyder changed from being a meteorologist to a novelist in 1995, when she began writing to keep her sanity while raising two children. Since then, she has published numerous freelance articles in magazines and newspapers, and teaches fiction-writing classes at the local college and area libraries. The classes give her the wonderful opportunity to encourage fellow writers, and to keep improving her craft.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Maria always had a fascination with big storms. Dreaming of chasing tornados, Maria earned a bachelors of science degree in meteorology at Penn State University. But she discovered, much to her chagrin, that forecasting the weather wasn't one of her skills. In order to chase tornados you had to predict where they might form. Creating fantasy worlds where she has complete control of the weather was more agreeable to her.
Maria's research on food-tasting methods with an expert chocolate taster, her husband, turned out to be a delicious bonus while writing Poison Study.
Maria has a brown belt in Isshinryu Karate, and enjoys playing volleyball and the cello. Traveling in general and via cruise ship in particular are her biggest distractions from writing. Maria has traveled to Belize, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean and through the Panama Canal.
Maria lives with her husband, son, daughter and yellow lab, Hazelnut, in Pennsylvania where she is at work on more LUNA novels. She is also pursuing a master's degree in writing popular fiction from Seton Hill University.

Now let's READ A LONG
"Pulling clumps of knotted hair out with the comb, I arranged the rest into a single long braid down my back.
Not long ago all I had hoped for was a clean prison robe before they hanged me, and now here I was sinking into the Commander's famous hot baths.
"That's long enough," Margg barked, startling me out of a light doze. "Here are your uniforms. Get dressed." Her stiff face radiated disapproval.
As I dried myself, I felt Margg's impatience.
Along with some undergarments, the food taster's uniform consisted of black pants, a wide satin red belt, and a red satin shirt with a line of small black diamond-shapes connected end to end down each of the sleeves. They were obviously sized for a man. Malnourished and measuring only four inches past five feet, I looked like a child playing pretend with her father's clothes. I wrapped the belt three times around my waist and rolled up the sleeves and pant legs.
Margg snorted. "Valek only told me to feed you and show you to your room. But I think we'll stop by the seamstress first." Pausing at the open door, Margg pursed her lips and added, "You'll need boots too."
Obediently, I followed Margg like a lost puppy.
The seamstress, Dilana, laughed gaily at my appearance. Her heart-shaped face had a halo of curly blond hair. Honey-colored eyes and long eyelashes enhanced her beauty.
"The stable boys wear the same pants and the kitchen maids wear the red shirts," Dilana said when she had stifled her giggles. She admonished Margg for not spending the time to find me better-sized uniforms. Margg pushed her lips together tighter.
Fussing around me like a grandmother instead of a young woman, Dilana's attentions warmed me, pulling me toward her. I envisioned us becoming friends. She probably had many acquaintances and suitors who came to bask in her attentions like cave dwellers drawn to a blazing hearth. I found myself aching to reach out to her.
After writing my measurements down, Dilana searched through the piles of red, black, and white clothing stacked around the room.
Everyone who worked in Ixia wore a uniform. The Commander's castle servants and guards wore a variation of black, white and red color cloths with vertical diamond-shapes either down the sleeves of the shirts or down the sides of the pants. Advisors and higher-ranking officers usually wore all black with small red diamonds stitched on the collars to show rank. The uniform system became mandatory when the Commander gained power so everyone knew at a glance who they were dealing with.
Black and red were Commander Ambrose's colors. The Territory of Ixia had been separated into eight Military Districts each ruled by a General. The uniforms of the eight districts were identical to the Commander's except for the color. A housekeeper wearing black with small purple diamond-shapes on her apron therefore worked in Military District Seven or MD-7."

'25 percent urban population of India is poor'August 3rd, 2011 - 9:31 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Aug 3 (IANS) A quarter of India's urban population lives below the poverty line and are poor, the Minister of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Kumari Selja said Wednesday.
Orissa has the highest percentage of urban poor in the country, she added.
Quoting the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) for the year 2004-05, Selja informed the Rajya Sabha that 807.96 lakh people - which comprise 25.7 percent of the urban population of the country - were poor.
In Orissa, 44.30 percent of the population live below the poverty line.
Further, it was informed that a new scheme, 'Rajiv Awas Yojana' (RAW) was launched June 2, 2011 to create a slum-free India. The first phase of the programme is for a period of two years with a budget of Rs.5,000 crore.

Now the weather has taken a turn for the worse, classic car owners will be packing away their pride and joy in garages and lock-ups across the land, ready to come growling out again at the first sign of spring . If there's one thing vintage rides hate, it's bad weather, and snow and grit are classic car Kryptonite. You may be wondering, though: what's the point of keeping a car you rarely drive? For some, it's the chance to own a piece of history, maybe a car they liked as a youngster, one their parents owned, or just one they want to own and cherish. For others, however, a classic car is a cold hard investment, making an appreciation in price far more important than the appreciation of fellow enthusiasts. And if this sounds a little strange, consider this: the value of top marque models such as Ferraris, Bugattis and Bentleys has risen by 430% over the past decade while the value of gold has risen by 273% during the same period. So is a classic car a worthwhile investment? And what should you look for when buying a one? We took a trip to Silverstone Auctions to find out…
Should I invest in a classic car?[embed width="660" height="415"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNCUu3Kfhqw[/embed]

By MAJ (MDDF) Stephen Rice
Maryland Defense Force Public Affairs
3 May 2014
On May 3, 2014 the Maryland Defense Force (MDDF) held its Annual Muster at the Pikesville Military Reservation. The Annual Muster is a mandatory all day training activity for all Maryland Defense Force personnel. Company formation and ceremonies commenced at 9:00 a.m. The keynote speaker for this year's muster was Maj. Gen. James A. Adkins, the adjutant general of Maryland.
Maj. Gen. Adkins is the 28th adjutant general of Maryland and has served in that role since 2008. As Maryland's adjutant general, he manages the operations of the Maryland Military Department (MILDEP) which includes the Maryland Army National Guard (MDARNG), the Maryland Air National Guard (MDANG), the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the Maryland Defense Force (MDDF). Maj. Gen. Adkins also serves as a senior advisor to the governor while overseeing a state department of more than 7,200 military and civilian personnel.
Maj. Gen. Adkins' military career includes more than 30 years of service in both the enlisted and officer ranks. He has served in various staff assignments and at almost every level of command. His distinguished service includes assignments in intelligence, infantry and cavalry units in the United States and overseas. Some of his many military decorations include the Legion of Merit, the Maryland Distinguished Service Cross and the Order of the White Cross from the Republic of Estonia.
Brig. Gen. (MDDF) Brian R. Kelm, the commanding general of the Maryland Defense Force shared that, "It is always an honor for the MDDF to host Gen. Adkins at our annual muster. His leadership and career of selfless service is an inspiration to our state soldiers. He thanked us for the volunteer work that we do but we also appreciate his stewardship and professional example."
The Maryland Defense Force (MDDF) is the State's uniformed volunteer military unit providing professional and technical assistance to the Maryland Military Department. Established in 1917, the MDDF consists of nearly 450 personnel who perform legal, engineering, finance, medical, chaplain, field support and ceremonial services for the State of Maryland.

I have been reading through (skimming really) some other blogs written by parents of autistic children.
I am in awe of these people.
It just really reminded me that I am only starting out on this journey, and that I have a very long way to go. Their wisdom, the depth of experience .... amazing. Sometimes as I read about some of the struggles and difficulties they've had in various areas, I just think man... there is no way I could ever cope with that! And then I start worrying about whether these things will come up later on. My boy is still so young. Well, he'll be 3 in August. That's only two months away. It makes me wonder if maybe, I haven't really seen anything yet. Maybe the worst is yet to come? Or what if it already is worse than I think, and I just can't see because I'm in the middle of it? In that case, it is a good thing. If not, then in the words of Johnny Cash, I better "get tough or die". I have a timid and somewhat fearful nature at the best of times. Something I'm not proud of, but struggle to change. And I don't think timidity is going to benefit me or anyone else when I have to handle difficult situations.
Another thing that sparked within me was wondering whether or not we are giving Mr Boy the best help we possibly can. In many of these blogs, the writers give much credit to ABA therapy. And hours upon hours of time with it, and with other professionals ... the OT, the Paedie, the Speechie, Intervention workers, etc. But all that we currently have for the little man are Speech - fortnightly on average; EI - also fortnightly on average; childcare now once a week (yes, I consider that as a 'therapy' for him too). That's basically it. He will see the paedie maybe, twice a year? Is that enough? What more should I do? What more can I do... with a little baby in tow and 2 other kids to work around?
Suddenly, I feel so small and helpless. And right now, autism seems like a really big monster that I'm not equipped to fight.

I first took a metal nail file and filed down the outer shell of the seed just until I seen a little white. Next I soaked it in a shot glass of warm water over night. I then put it in a small flower pot of damp (not wet) 50% potting soil 50% peat. I then placed the pot in a plastic baggie and placed it under my plant light and within two weeks I had a sprout. I live in cold weather so I bring it into my garage for the winter. Be patient and you will have one of the prettiest, interesting and very fragrant plants that will be the envy of your neighbors!

Bilateral field advantage in visual enumeration.
Abstract: A number of recent studies have demonstrated superior visual processing when the information is distributed across the left and right visual fields than if the information is presented in a single hemifield (the bilateral field advantage). This effect is thought to reflect independent attentional resources in the two hemifields and the capacity of the neural responses to the left and right hemifields to process visual information in parallel. Here, we examined whether a bilateral field advantage can also be observed in a high-level visual task that requires the information from both hemifields to be combined. To this end, we used a visual enumeration task--a task that requires the assimilation of separate visual items into a single quantity--where the to-be-enumerated items were either presented in one hemifield or distributed between the two visual fields. We found that enumerating large number (>4 items), but not small number (

Could having a match of the week streamed across Asia help put Hong Kong rugby on the map?
Growing online rugby viewing service Rugby Pass will soon begin covering Hong Kong Premiership games
Related topics
In the coming weeks the naming rights sponsor of the Hong Kong Rugby Union Premiership – rugbypass.com – will begin covering one game a week live.
Rugby Pass services 23 countries throughout Asia and hopes to expand its reach into Europe as early as February of next year.
To have exposure on such a platform is certainly a great result for a league that has only had the odd big match streamed on the likes of YouTube and the Hong Kong Rugby Union (HKRU) website in the past.
But while on the surface everything is very positive, when stripped back the question still arises – just what sort of impact will it have on rugby in Hong Kong?
What sort of results can be expected both in the short term as far as people watching it and in the long term in the league becoming more recognised on a world scale and, as a result, stronger?
Of the 23 countries, Asian powerhouse Japan is not one of them, and as good as the concept sounds, it remains to be seen if anyone is going to watch it.
Rugby Pass launched in Hong Kong in February and has quickly cemented itself as Asia's go-to online service for live rugby from around the world.
From a domestic viewpoint, it shows the southern hemisphere's Super Rugby, the French Top 14, the English Aviva Premiership, the South Africa's Currie Cup and New Zealand's Mitre 10 Cup to name a few, while it has also covered the ongoing Rugby Championship and other test matches.
This plethora of options only raises further questions about where the HKRU Premiership will fit in to all of this.
Could the shock resignation of Deacon Manu galvanise HKCC and drive them to glory?
On first thought, it does seem hard to see anyone without a vested interest in Hong Kong rugby going out of their way to tune in.
One thing the Premiership has in its favour is that its going to be the only weekly competition from Asia being televised, with the Japan Top League not shown on Rugby Pass, or seemingly anywhere else outside of Japan.
As far as direct clashes with other matches, Hong Kong's 4.30pm slot that the majority of fixtures fall into should be relatively safe.
The HKRU is hopeful that ultimately the coverage will extend the reach of the league and eventually help to raise the standard of the Premiership by enticing quality players who like what they see.
"This is the opportunity to showcase that we do have a decent standard of rugby," HKRU general manager of marketing and communications Rocky Chow said.
"Getting viewership throughout Asia is important and there are plenty of players throughout Asia that are looking at opportunities.
"At the moment, Japan is the only country that has significant exposure around what they do with their game.
"Getting us exposed both on an international side and a domestic side through Rugby Pass will give us an edge and only improve the standard in Hong Kong."
The HKRU hopes to grow with Rugby Pass as it extends into Europe next year, and the reality is that as far as attracting quality players, getting into rugby strongholds like France and the United Kingdom is where the real opportunities lie.
Hong Kong's Asian sevens first-round success well-deserved but hollow after Japan field understrength side
Rugby Pass says it already has over 400,000 unique users and averages around 35,000 streams each weekend.
Not yet astronomical numbers by any stretch and it will obviously be a slow burn for the HKRU, but it is exciting times for the union.
Having the Premiership beamed across Asia can only be a positive, and hopefully the fact that a platform of the magnitude of Rugby Pass is taking Hong Kong rugby seriously means that others the world over will too.
While there are plenty of questions to be answered moving forward, it seems safe to say the union can sleep easy in the knowledge that this may well be a partnership in which they genuinely have nothing to lose.

I post here a message I've got about an important problem : wind farm in a wonderful and wild place of scotland. Here the text
Thu Aug 30, 2007 1:55 pm (PST)
Dear Everyone,
*Deadline tomorrow: 31st August 2007 - Please act now!
(see letter below)*
If you have ever been fortunate to take a trip along the Monadhliath
Mountains, (Fort Augustus to Farr ) most people will appreciate that this
area must fall into the cateogory of one of Scotland's most beautiful
Highland areas. A jewel in the crown - an area of "high scenic" value. The
place is teaming with birds and wildlife.
The views are breath taking. This place boasts a 360 degree vista of
mountains. The RSPB Ruthven estate is also in the area.
Please give serious consideration to adapting the undernoted letter and
sending an objection to the Highland Council. I only learned about this
application on Saturday.
To develop this wild area is an outrage and when public money is being used,
people have every right to vote in favour or or against it. Wind
developers are also getting compensation over an above the ROC subsidies if
the developer cannot connect to the grid. Are developers now attacking wild
areas of Scotland safe in the knowledge they can't connect to the grid but
aware that they will get compensation from the public purse?
The area only has a few local people who are trying desperately to deal with
a large corporate company with deep pockets and the locals have no help from
the public purse. This is where you can help to save this beautiful place
full of wildlife. It costs nothing, just a few minutes of your time,
assuming you believe saving eagles and birds is worthwhile.
Please send or email your objection to save this unique wonderful place - it
is a chance to save the Eagles of the Monadhliaths. Will Scotland have an
eagles left at this rate?
The area is now under attack by wind farm developers. One development
proposed for the area is expected to be bigger than 3 times the size of the
City of London.
Corrigarth is under attack. Unbelievable but true. Development of this
area must be stopped at all costs.
*The deadline is 31st August 2007 for objections*. Grateful to all those
who act to save the eagles of Monadhliath Mountains; its ancient peat
bogs and abundance of wildlife.
Can people pass this onto mountaineering and hillwalking friends.
Thank you.
PS If anyone ever wishes to take their 'other half' on a wonderful trip or
visit Scotland then this area is a must, I'd strongly recommend it. Lots
of birds are in the area. Great eateries too... full of Highland
Planning & Building Standards Manager

Dear Sir,
* *
*Proposed Erection of 20 Wind Turbine Generators on land at Corriegarth
Estate, Gorthleck*
*by North British Windpower Ltd (07/00673/FULIN)*
*Basis of objection*
Boleskine Environmental Network objects to this proposal on general and
specific grounds. We do not believe that the damaging impacts of wind
turbine development on exceptionally valuable Scottish and Highland natural
environments can be justified by the minimal contributions they could make
to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The Corriegarth proposal
reflects a perverse emphasis on environmentally detrimental, economically
inefficient supply-side developments and a corresponding neglect of
potentially more effective and more socially equitable measures for reducing
demand for energy.
*General objections*
*1.* *Wind generated power is expensive and inefficient *. Critics of
current government 'renewables' policies include OFGEM, the National Audit
office, the Carbon Trust and the European Commission. According to OFGEM,
these policies 'cost business and domestic consumers much more than other
carbon abatement measures' and have failed to encourage development of more
effective technologies. OFGEM also demands a 'more rigorous assessment of
alternatives'. The National Audit Office has described wind factories as
the most expensive way to fund reductions in CO2 emissions.
*2.* *Proposals for such inefficient and environmentally damaging projects
are being actively considered by planning authorities despite their failure
to meet official targets for energy conservation *laid down by the *Home
Energy Conservation Act 1997*. Highland Council is reported to have
achieved less than one sixth of its energy conservation target for 2006
(FOE/ACE). Yet energy conservation measures in homes and businesses have
demonstrable potential to reduce carbon emissions by very substantial
amounts. They also have far greater potential for creating local
employment and could significantly mitigate the unacceptably high levels of fuel poverty in Scotland (estimated by the Scottish Executive in 2003 as
affecting more than a quarter of a million households).
*3.* *The impact is Highland wide*. Consideration of applications for wind
factories by planning authorities is on a case-by-case basis, according to
criteria that are predominantly local in character. Visual intrusion, for
instance, is assessed from particular viewpoints and the result often takes
the form of marginal adjustments to the numbers, design or distribution of
turbines. This approach neglects an important principle; that the
exceptional value of Highland environments is recognised nationally and
globally. Such recognition, and all that it implies in terms of landscape
and wildlife conservation, income and employment, relates to large regions
and to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland as a whole. Environmental
benefits and detriments are holistic rather than localised, a principle
recognised globally through the establishment of national parks. The
prevailing view seems to be that the natural environment can be conceived
of, and treated as, a collection of discrete units to which planning
criteria may be applied discretely. This is patently not the case with the
conservation of biodiversity, which requires the protection of large areas
of unspoiled or relatively unspoiled land.
*Specific objections to the Corriegarth proposal*
The main headings of the developer's Environmental Impact Assessment to
which we object are as follows:
* *
*Planning policy*
* *
According to the developers, this proposal is consistent with Highland
Council planning policy for renewables. As mentioned, above, *we regard
current policy as detrimental to the natural environment, detrimental to the
tourist economy and socially inequitable.*
*Connection to the grid*
An environmental impact study should also include the connection to the
grid, as recommended by Andrew Brown, Highland Council Planning Dept. The
developer has failed to include this in the EIA.
*Landscape and visual amenity*
We dispute the developer's claim that the project 'would have an
uncharacteristically limited visual impact'. Each of the 20 turbines would
be 120 metres or 394 feet tall. This is just 10 feet lower than the UK's
tallest cathedral, Salisbury, at 404 feet. In addition, the location is at
a very high altitude (up to 690 metres), which would mean that turbines
would be increasingly visually intrusive as an observer gained height. *This
also means that the height of the highest turbine will be 810 metres, the
same height as the adjacent Corbett of Carn na Saobhaidhe and considerably
higher than the surrounding hills of Beinn Mheadhoin (555m), Beinn Bhuraich
(780m) and Carn Fliuch-bhaid (656m). *The claim that there would be only
limited visual impact from 'main transport routes' and settlements in the
area itself reflects a very limited concept of landscape values,
particularly in an area that attracts visitors because of its relatively
wild and unspoiled character. In our view, this development would be
grossly out of scale and character with the hills and moorlands of the
district. And,* cumulatively with Dunmaglass and other wind factory
developments, it presents a hugely significant impact adjacent to the Wild
Land Search area of the Monadhliath Mountains *– recognised in the Inverness
Local Plan as the largest wild land area in the Highlands.
*Ecology and birds*
*The developer's claim that the impact of the development on habitats and
species such as moorland, songbirds, raptors and waders would be of
'negligible significance' is absurd. *In addition to borrow pits and the
disturbance of peat (itself a carbon sink) involved in digging foundations
for turbines, more than 24 kilometres of new and upgraded roads are
*Golden Eagles*
*We are particularly concerned about the developer's bland assertion that
the collision of one golden eagle with a turbine every three years amounts
only to an effect 'of moderate significance' *. The eagle population is
depleted and it continues to be persecuted. Consequently, the death of an
immature bird every three years must be of considerable significance. In
addition, *the proposition that eagles will be (permanently?) attracted away
from the wind factory by feeding them carcasses elsewhere is untestable *and,
in any case, must raise doubts about the long-term dependability of
monitoring procedures. *The second Habitat Management proposal of creating
scrub at high altitude is also unrealistic *as fencing at these locations
will be visually intrusive and pose a collision risk to grouse. While to
plant or regenerate without fencing will fail due to the high browsing
pressure of deer and livestock.
*Traffic and transport*
* *
*The development would increase the already heavy burden of industrial
traffic on the B851 and B862* . Two deaths of employees on the nearby River
E hydro-electricity generating scheme and a number of less serious accidents
have already occurred. Many of these accidents are unreported because no
injuries have occurred and therefore do not appear on the EIA statistics. It
is also worth pointing out that many of the construction vehicles for the
Glendoe Hydro-electric scheme use the B862 from Inverness as access despite
planning conditions to the contrary. Signs etc are ineffective in
preventing this.
*Socio economics*
* *
*a. Tourism*
* *
The developer asserts that 'the project is not expected to have adverse
economic, tourism or recreational effects'. We dispute this. *A
significant but unquantified proportion of visitors to this area, as to the
Highlands as a whole, are attracted by the wild and open character of the
countryside *despite northern Scotland's characteristically poor weather and
the expense of travelling to these destinations. Visual intrusion of wind
factories from a few selected viewpoints is likely to be beside the point
for such visitors, whose appreciation of the Monadhliath landscapes is
*b. Employment*
The developer also makes the contradictory assertions that the proposed wind
factory will have no long term effects on local populations, services or
employment AND that the proposed Corriegarth community fund would help to
generate employment and tourism. *We believe that a general programme of
energy conservation measures, in addition to outstripping any contribution
to reductions in carbon emissions by wind factories would generate
substantial local employment *and would not pose a threat to tourism or to
the natural environment. It would also address Scotland's uniquely bad
record of fuel poverty.
c. *Community Benefit Fund*
* *
*We object to the proposed fund on the ground that it is socially
inequitable* because it simply represents an arbitrary reallocation of funds
by the developer from one sector of the population to another which happens
to be in the vicinity of a wind factory. The government Energy White Paper
of 2003 (s. 4.7), states explicitly that consumers in general pay the costs
of these and similar developments through their electricity bills. However,
'community benefits' are conferred selectively according to the commercial
interests of developers. We regard this as a morally deplorable situation,
particularly in an industry that is supposed to be regulated in the
interests of consumers generally.
Yours sincerely,
(Remove the undernoted )

The Importance of Resources
A teacher is nothing without something to teach. That something comes from a subject matter with a background. This teaching matter comes from resources that create the bulk of understanding surrounding the particular subject. Therefore, a teacher is helped greatly by the resources that back them up.
Resources help students understand the object of the lesson the teacher is conveying. Additionally, it helps the teacher to test whether the students have improved their understanding of the given subject.
Without resources, the whole teaching process could be very boring, and there would be no information that backs up the topic that the teacher would be working on. Resources provide the questions that follow the current stage of the syllabus, and an in-depth understanding of the subject material at hand.
The very basic purpose of a teacher is to convey information from one medium, whether that's a book, a syllabus or themselves, to the student through a relatable manner. This relatable matter can come from many sources, but mainly from the teacher support that is provided through the school and the curriculum.
Different learning environments can also help to stimulate certain students. It can help to encourage the reading aspect of learning, writing and listening among slower-uptake students.
Resources can also help the relatability of a teacher to their student. Sometimes, the teaching can be lost in translation, when the student feels that they don't quite understand what the teacher is trying to say about a certain topic.
The point of resources in this instance is to provide a strong language base from which the teachers can draw from, allowing for an easier verbal understanding between teacher and student.
Primary school teachers as well as parents have got quite a fight on their hands. Everywhere, there are entertainment stations and joints that your child cannot resist, be it online or locally and the advancements in technology, the internet and the web do not seem to help matters any. The children are not to blame; they can't help having their attention wander. As a teacher, you need an appropriate way of teaching that will be very close to entertainment.
Many resources today are indeed cut out well for their job. This is because you will be able to integrate them into your teaching career and make it more fun and more interactive to learn for the students. The secret here is to make learning more interactive, more of a game or a challenge that is suited to the young minds. As such, the worst thing that you could do here is to bore your students because if you do, you can be sure that there are other areas that they will focus their attention on.
Today, as a teacher, you are allowed to use interactive web activities in your lessons to combat the rising need for technology in young minds, all of them are computer literate anyway and if you have been looking for good teacher resources to make learning of complex lessons and subjects more fun, then you have just found them here. As a teacher, it will be quite a bonus for you if you will be able to choose the most appropriate lesson plans and the subject guides. As there are so many online, you will be dazzled and might not know what to choose unless you are very keen.
As supply teachers you are not always expected to provide your own resources but there is no harm in having a few in your car boot just to ensure that you are always prepared. Resources are the key to teaching, they open up a world of opportunities and encourage new ways of learning.

My Princess Sleeps (poem)
Where does she stroll when sleep sweeps her away
Whose face awaits her there to take her hand
What melodies did we neglect to play
Will wonders there still be at her command
All day it seemed she wove our make-believe
Enchanting and enhancing every while
What sacred songs were left up in my sleeve
Such magic lovers' hearts it would beguile
Sleep on my princess ruler of my heart
Enjoy your moments as you have blessed me
What strains remain to keep us two apart
For soon I'll close my eyes and there you'll be
And in the morning sunlight's tune will stream

Economic Analysis of Rotavirus-Associated Diarrhea in the Metropolitan Toronto and Peel Regions of Ontario

OBJECTIVE: To measure the economic cost of rotavirus- associated diarrhea for a selected group of families, in a nonexperimental setting, and to estimate the factors that influence these costs.
DESIGN: Use and other socioeconomic data from a family survey (the Pediatric Rotavirus Epidemiology Study for Immunization) of children who tested positive for rotavirus were collected for the metropolitan Toronto and Peel regions of Ontario during the rotavirus season of 1997-1998. Service costs were estimated from provider data. A statistical regression analysis was used to explain the variances of provincial health care costs, prescription drug costs and indirect (work-loss) costs.
SETTING: Data were collected in hospitals, emergency rooms, paediatric practices, primary care clinics and licensed daycare centres. Hospital coverage was wide, but community coverage was not.
PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS: Children with diarrhea were tested for rotavirus. Those who tested positive and whose parents consented for their children to participate were included in the study.
INTERVENTIONS: None
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcomes were provincial health care costs, drug costs, nonmedical costs and thenumber of days of work missed by parents per child, as well as factors that determine these costs.
RESULTS: Children in the most severe category incurred costs of $2,663/person, and those in the least severe categories incurred costs of approximately $350/person. The most important determinant to explain provincial health care costs was the number of health problems that the child had before having rotavirus. Costs due to work loss of parents were considerable for children in all severity groups and were influenced by family working conditions.
CONCLUSIONS: When considering the economic implications of rotavirus, prior health status should be considered and indirect costs should be recognized for their importance.

FAIRHAVEN — The Revolutionary War era will come to life again in Fairhaven during a two-day historical encampment scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 26 and 27 at Fort Phoenix.
During that weekend, members of the Fairhaven Village Militia, the Wareham Minutemen and Militia Companies, and the Fairhaven Office of Tourism will live in an authentic period camp, the same way it was done 240 years ago.
Men, women and children dressed in period clothing will reenact life in 1778 and talk about the history of the fort. They will also be demonstrating campfire cooking, fire starting with flint and steel, musket ball casting, military drilling, loading and firing flintlock muskets and rifles, tin-smithing, leather working, sewing, cannon firing and more.
The militia's chaplain will deliver Revolutionary War period sermons, and visitors may try their hand at tomahawk throwing and children's games of the period.
The firing of the fort's five large cannons will cap off Saturday night, scheduled for dusk, approximately 7:45 p.m.
This year the firing of cannon #1 will be done in memory of Lt. Earl M. Faunce, a retired fire fighter who passed away in February. Mr. Faunce was a member of the original 4th Old Dartmouth Militia established by Donald R. Bernard during the years leading up to the US Bicentennial.
Two decades later, when the newly established Fairhaven Office of Tourism was planning its first Fourth of July parade, Lt. Faunce volunteered to get the Fort Phoenix cannons inspected so that they could be fired again, something that had not been done since the early 1980s.
On July 4, 1997, he and Wayne Oliveira fired the cannons for the first time in many years. Since then, they have been fired every Fourth of July and at historical encampments and special events sponsored by the Fairhaven Village Militia.
The militia began as a small volunteer group in 1999, made up of local people who are interested in local history of the Revolutionary War period. The name Fairhaven Village Militia was adopted in 1993, the same year the first Fort Phoenix encampment was held.
The group's commander, Ellsworth Sylvaria Jr., is a descendant of Bartholomew West, whose home was burned by the British in 1778. Captain of Artillery Wayne Oliveira was originally a member of Donald Bernard's Fourth Old Dartmouth Militia. There are high school age members who have been participating in the group's historical reenactments since very early childhood.
"Since we started programs at the fort, thousands of people, including hundreds of school children, cruise ship passengers, visitors and local residents have visited us at Fort Phoenix," says Tourism Director Christopher Richard. "At the encampment, the group is depicting camp life during the Revolutionary War period. There will be regular demonstrations of military drilling and musket firing, but there will be no large-scale battle re-enactments."
Both the cannon firing and the overnight encampment will be cancelled in the event of heavy rain. Weather permitting, the militia's camp will open to the public from 9:00 until sunset on Saturday and from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Sunday.
For more information, call the Office of Tourism at 508-979-4085 or email email@example.com.

By Executive Director Mikala Cohen
It might be weird, but I've discussed the prospect of whose face I'd want tattooed on my arm if I so desired. I had the conversation it with my roommate* last summer after finding out she had claimed the email address, email@example.com, as a pseudo-email that would re-route to her official email address. Does anyone ever email her at that address? No. But could they? Absolutely. After this exciting revelation, I proceeded, like any other passionately feminist Democrat making rational decisions, to claim the pseudonym email address "email@example.com" after finding out that firstname.lastname@example.com was already taken. After informing my roommate of this esteemed accomplishment and testing to confirm it would reroute any emails sent to email@example.com to my official uchicago email address, we moved on to a conversation on what feminist icon we would have tattooed portrait-style on our arms (what else do you talk about while washing the dishes?).
While I considered such historical icons as Harriet Tubman (famed American abolitionist and badass spy for the Union during the Civil War), Jeannette Rankin (first female member of Congress and general badass extraordinaire who refused to vote to go to war in WWI and WWII because women could not be drafted) and this boss who hit a neo-Nazi with her handbag in 1985 , we couldn't help ourselves from choosing women living today who work in the highest levels of government. I chose Ruth Bader Ginsburg because she is the most powerful liberal justice on the Supreme Court who has fought for a woman's right to choose and Democratic values for decades now; she's "notorious" for a reason and I would honor that with permanent ink on my body if I had to. My roommate chose Angela Merkel because she is German's first female Chancellor who helped usher her nation and all of Europe through the global financial crisis of 2008 as the de-facto leader of the EU; also if Kate McKinnon impersonates someone, you know that person is tattoo-worthy.
On the morning I wrote this post, it was announced that Andrea Leadsom dropped out of the running to replace David Cameron as the United Kingdom's Prime Minister and that Home Secretary Theresa May will claim the leadership with more than 60% of the support of her fellow Conservative MPs. Margaret Thatcher was the first and last female Prime Minister for the UK who attracted the ire of American Democrats and many British citizens throughout her reign. Before learning about her political activities that, admittedly, are far from in line with the Democratic Party of her time and today, I grew up admiring Margaret Thatcher as a badass who ruled the United Kingdom, one of the United States' most important and critical partners in international politics. For me, she wasn't the Leader of the Conservative Party that emphasized deregulation and reduction of the power and influence of trade unions, but represented the possibility for the future in other major countries of the world. If the UK could have a female head of government, then there was no reason the United States couldn't as well.
Theresa May isn't Margaret Thatcher, and thank any and all deities that you may subscribe to for that. She's voted in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage, made worker's rights a major part of her political platform, and committed to changing the way big businesses are governed to serve the British people. She said that, "We need a government that will deliver serious social reform – and make ours a country that truly works for everyone. Because right now, if you're born poor, you will die on average nine years earlier than others. If you're black, you're treated more harshly by the criminal justice system than if you're white." She even sounds like an American Democrat at times, but obviously isn't. She's committed to following through with Great Britain's "Brexit" decision, saying that "Brexit is Brexit," and has some anti-immigration stances.
But here's the thing: Theresa May will ascend as the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the same year that Hillary Clinton will become the first female President of the United States and Angela Merkel will remain the first female Chancellor of Germany. In 2017, we're going to see pictures of three women conversing at NATO summit meetings as the leaders of the three greatest political powers of the West. The New York Times, Washington Post, Al Jazeera, BBC and Süddeutsche Zeitung will write articles on the goings-on of press conferences of President Clinton and Prime Minister May, or Prime Minster May and Chancellor Merkel, or Chancellor Merkel and President Clinton. While the Senate and House of Representatives will remain overwhelmingly white, old and male, the international landscape of leaders will come closer than ever to resembling the world's population.
Unfortunately, this summer my roommate is working in Chicago and I'm interning in Washington D.C., so we haven't been able to talk about the latest women to be added to the roster of possibilities for us to bring to the tattoo parlor. If we could, we'd likely debate over the merits of adding incoming Prime Minister Theresa May, Senator Barbara Mikulski, Justice Sotomayor, Congresswoman Mia Love, and the remarkable woman who faced riot police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana while protesting against recent police shootings of black men in the U.S. Are we close to parity? Not yet. Are we making critical strides to female representation in government and business? Absolutely. And is this a solely an issue for the Democratic Party? Definitely not. It's an issue for our generation to embrace with gusto in every level of government, from your local aldermanic seat in Chicago to the Senate race in New Hampshire.
The more women that we can turn to as additions to our feminist sleeves of dream, the merrier. If Theresa May isn't your thing, don't worry Sotomayor, Kagan and Warren have not been reserved at any local tattoo parlor just yet.
*The aforementioned roommate is the incomparable Angela Zhao who will absolutely respond to any emails sent to her Merkel address.

Getting into the lucrative world of forex trading has turned out to be very simple since the introduction of automated fx trading systems, also known as forex robots. Instead of having to train for years in how to develop and operate a winning fx trading plan and dealing with all the stress of trading in the fast and high powered forex market, beginners are immediately able to download 'set and forget' software that will complete all of their fx trading for them.
What is more, you can now enter the forex market with very little capital. Since the internet has made its way into most every home in the western world and many beyond, competition among brokers for this huge new client base has been fierce. This has led to a massive lowering of the barrier on creating new accounts. Where a few years back you required thousands of dollars to even open an account, you can at present start with a few hundred or even less. Again, this favors the beginner.
But can you actually make money with forex robots? The answer, as with nearly all things, is that it works for a number of people and not for others. Of course the automated currency trading systems themselves vary and some have a better track record than others. Nevertheless, even the most successful forex robot does not come with any guarantee that you will make money using it. So there are a a small number of things that you ought to consider in order to decide whether automated forex trading is the way to make your monetary dreams become reality.One such forex trading robot is FAP Turbo which has just celebrated being in business for more than 12 months. Other established FX bots are Forex Megadroid and FX Ivy Bot both have been successful and like FAP Turbo are destined to remain both profitable and therefore popular for the foreseeable future.
First, it is vital not to expect to make a lot of money immediately. The reason for this is that you will need some time to set up and test the robot on what is called a demo account before you risk any real money on trading. All traders make mistakes when they begin and this is one way to ensure that you do not lose your shirt when that happens. It furthermore means that you can be reasonably comfortably convinced that you will in reality make money with it. If it does not work for you, the good news is that you can normally get a refund on the cost of the robot, so provided you kept to a demo account you have no risk in getting started.
Once this is done and you are consistently making profits in the demo account, you can switch to live trading. At this point you can leave your robot to work on automatic pilot any time that your PC is connected up. The forex markets are trading 24 hours a day, and while of course there is no way that a human being could trade throughout all 24 hours, an automated fx trading system certainly can, so you have many more opportunities to make money than if you were trading by yourself.
