Accidents, Injuries & Deaths at Sea Stir Concern Over US Warships
Much media attention has been focused on the US Navy of late, particularly after collisions involving USS John S McCain and USS Fitzgerald this summer took the lives of 17 sailors who are now either dead or missing—more than the number killed in Afghanistan this year. Specifically, many members of the public are now concerned that US warships may be especially vulnerable to hackers, placing many lives in danger each year.
Thus far, analysts involved in the accident reviews have pointed to internal issues and operational tempos in heavily trafficked waterways as the potential culprits. However, the sheer number of accidents that have occurred just during basic operations over the last few months has stirred concerns about potential outside factors affecting safety on these ships; factors that go beyond human error. The nature of the incidents and the narrow window in which they occurred has many speculating about outside interference in general.
"Spoofing" GPS & AIS Navigation
To date, many experts have downplayed the likelihood of outsider intrusion and hacker attacks on these ships, instead citing human negligence or error as the likely causes.
However, although the US Navy uses encrypted navigation systems that would be difficult to hack, plenty of tests have been run demonstrating that technology does exist to misdirect GPS navigation–a process known as "spoofing." This software and electronic gear is fairly easy for private parties to obtain, and can direct large ships hundreds of yards off course without the system detecting that change. They make causing a collision by hacking or hijacking GPS a very real possibility.
The technology is also able to hack the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which most commercial and passenger ships use to locate other ships and avoid collisions. Thus, for example, hackers could foreseeably jam a Navy ship's guidance system while also going after a commercial or private ship's unsecured navigation system.
The US Navy and other government entities can be held liable for accidents like these under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), Military Claims Act, and/or Military Personnel and Civilian Employees' Claims Act.
The FTCA allows you to file an administrative claim and collect compensation from the government for issues related to personal injury, wrongful death, or property damage if they were caused by the negligence of a federal employee acting within the scope of their employment. However, the law contains quite a few exceptions, particularly when it comes to activities related to military service. If you are interested in pursuing a claim like this, first discussing it with an experienced personal injury attorney can help you understand the law's limitations.
In addition, both the Military Claims Act compensates plaintiffs for claims for up to $100,000, and the Military Personnel and Civilian Employees' Claims Act up to $40,000 in most circumstances related to personal injury, wrongful death, and/or property loss.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) Andy Rice threw three touchdown passes, including a go-ahead 13-yarder to Michael Hudson with 18 seconds left to lift Drake to a 34-30 victory over Dayton on Saturday.
Will Bardo connected with Ross Smith on a 20-yard score which gave Dayton (6-3, 4-2 Pioneer) a 30-20 lead early in the third quarter. Conley Wilkins' 8-yard touchdown run pulled Drake (6-4, 5-2 Pioneer) within 30-27 late in the third.
Dayton drove 91 yards to the Drake 7, but William Will missed a 24-yard field goal with 8:20 to play. Drake answered with a 12-play, 80-yard drive capped by Rice's game-winning throw to Hudson.
Rice threw a 10-yard TD pass to Hudson and an 84-yard strike to Andrew Yarwood in the second quarter.
T.J. James led Drake with 117 yards rushing and Wilkins ran for 58 yards and two touchdowns.
Dayton's Connor Kacsor rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns.

A few years ago, I was a budding MMA journalist covering UFC Fight Night: Rockhold vs. Bisping in Sydney, Australia. One of the pre-fight press conferences took place at the city's quintessential tourist photo-op spot, the Sydney Opera House. After the media Q&A (which to my shock included then-UFC middleweight champ Chris Weidman, in town to support his teammate on the undercard), Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping stood by the edge of the Parramatta River for the usual face-off.
It didn't take long before things got heated, and soon the two fighters were nose-to-nose, talking trash that would've easily crossed any cultural barriers. I was a star-struck observer soaking up the moment. This was a few months after Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier had their infamous brawl at a similar presser, so I was expecting fireworks.
"I want to see them push each other into the river," I said out loud. More like slipped out, really, but I figured no one was listening.
A second later, I heard a voice from a few feet up, "Nah man, they want to get paid."
The voice from above belonged to The Ultimate Fighter Season 3 winner Kendall Grove, who was part of Bisping's entourage. Aside from the fact that the towering former UFC fighter had heard my brain fart, Grove's comment reminded me of one very important thing: Professional athletes are in it to make money. All the drama, like Rockhold and Bisping's face-off, are just means to that end.
Fast forward to August 2017, and we're at the cusp of one the biggest events in combat sports history. This weekend, UFC champ Conor McGregor will face unretiring boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the squared circle. The stage will be set in Las Vegas for a "My Kung-Fu is better than your Kung-Fu" clash for the ages.
At first, most fans predicted an uneventful, one-sided shut-out for Mayweather. Logic dictated that a near-untouchable all-time great versus a boxing first-timer could only go one way. But over time, the tide shifted.
A quick browse through Facebook comments today will show many passionate McGregor fans claiming that the Irishman will shock the world. Google's fan survey on the outcome actually shows McGregor leading the polls. Unorthodox style and cataclysmic power in that left hand, they shout from the social media nosebleeds. Everyone, from longtime fight fans to so-called enthusiasts (some of them on TV!) who wouldn't know a left hook from a checkbook, now has an opinion on the fight.
What the hell happened?
First, there was the press tour, where most agreed the enigmatic McGregor stole the show. It was akin to weekly episodes of WWE programming: Sworn enemies who only ever spit venom in front of the cameras, and somehow had synchronized travel schedules. Almost as if they were travelling together.
Then came the news from each camp: McGregor's controversial knockdown of former champ Paulie Malignaggi, Mayweather's claim that he'll be partying at his strip club before the fight, plus that video of him eating a cheeseburger.
Every move they've made in the last month has flooded newsfeeds worldwide. Showtime's All Access series on the fight portrayed a young and hungry superstar against an aging legend who was spending his days attending Yoga classes and roller-skating with his kids.
The point of all this drama? Well, it shouldn't come as any surprise that two superstars whose reputations are based on being rich are all-in on a spectacle that guarantees them millions. The more drama they generate, and the more we believe that the underdog might win, then all the more cash we fork over in ticket and pay-per-view sales.
It's been that way since even before the days of Tex Rickard and Jack Dempsey (Google them). Us fans, from newcomers to veterans, are just along for the ride.
As for me, I'll be watching one thing on Sunday: A boxing match. When that bell rings and the hype silences forever, it's all about the fisticuffs. If it turns out to be an exciting fight, then everyone wins. If not, then we got exactly what we first expected. A big part of me hopes that we'll finally stop talking about this fight once it's over, but something tells me that it'll still be in our office pantry conversations for some time.
Oh well, there's still Canelo vs. Golovkin to look forward to next month. I wonder how many of the checkbook crowd will tune in for that one?

National Coalition of 100 Black Women of Pensacola Installs New Members of 2017
Pensacola Florida – The National Coalition of 100 Black Women Pensacola Florida today announced and inducted new members into the organization. The ceremony took place at the Jazz and Flow Cafe in Pensacola, FL. The new members were introduced by Membership Chair, Linda Robinson.
Dr. Joyce Hopson brought greeting as President of NC100BW PF. She stated how proud she was to serve at the helm of such a great organization. "The local leadership of our chapter is central to us accomplishing our mission and elevating our agenda," she stated.
In the mid-summer of 1992, three local women saw a need in the Pensacola community for the empowerment of local African Americans, particularly women and youth. Their desire was to develop a community-based program with a national affiliation. From that point, the three women began to recruit members from the local community. On August 15th, the first group of approximately 15 women met and divided into core groups. Nine months and 27 members later on October 1, 1993, the chapter installed its founding members. Membership was re-opened increasing the total to 38. These women were committed to making significant improvement in the African American community of Escambia County.
Some of programs and endeavors that have been undertaken since its inception to 2017 include:
Implementing a role-model and mentoring program at A.A. Dixon Elementary School, sponsoring NCBW Caring Day for the holidays, Publishing a community newspaper entitled the NCBW Connection, Developing a Sister to Sister partnership with the University of West Florida Student Support Services, Developing a partnership with the Ann Baroco Center, Pediatric and Mission in Motion, Sponsoring a series of health care workshops, the first one was held at Oakwood Terrace, Developing a partnership with the Community Drug and Alcohol Commission (CDAC), Compiling an African American Resource Directory, Publishing a calendar honoring local African American women who were "Firsts" in their area of accomplishment, Sponsoring a program entitled, "The Hands of Time" , honoring Black Hairdressers in the 30's, 40's, and 50's, Sponsoring ongoing programs that include issues facing seniors, teens, and youth; and Sponsoring their signature program which is a yearly Hat Show Luncheon where African American high school graduating seniors are awarded $500 to $1000 college scholarships
In its 24th year, the Coalition continues to grow and reach out to African American women and youth in the Pensacola Community. Members of the organization include Dr. Joyce Hopson, President; Lola Presley, 1st Vice President of Programming; Dr. Kerstin Fleming, 2nd Vice President of Finance/Fund Development; Linda Robinson, 3rd Vice President of Membership; Eva Walker, Corresponding Secretary; Earline Williams-Dunklin, Recording Secretary; Elizabeth Marshall, Treasurer; Frances Blair, Financial Secretary; Betty Lee, Chaplin; Minnie Byrd, Historian; Modeste McCorvey, Parliamentarian; Board of Directors-Lois Christian, Flossie Cook, Lorene Jackson, Margie McCorvey, and Ophelia Ray; Members Daisy Callins, Phyllis Carter, Lois Christian, Emma Jean Dees, Bessie Gaillard, Idella Gideon, Mamie Hixon, Lorene Jackson, Latasha Jones, Ora Lee, and Tracey Marshall. New Members are Danielle Williams-Dillard, Bessie McCorvey, Jacqueline Miles, Syntoria Spencer, Tova Thomas, LaTasha Wall, and Jessica Wade. Mamie Webb Hixon is the Chartering Chapter President, Charter Members are Betty Lee, Modeste McCorvey, and Lola Presley.
The National Coalition of 100 Black Women Pensacola Chapter, Inc. as an organization plays a critical role in helping to address societal issues of Black women and girls through advocacy actions. The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. advocates for Black Women through national and local actions and strategic alliances to promote leadership development and gender equality in the areas of health, education, and economic development. We are committed to addressing issues that affect families, communities, and each other. The Coalition is comprised of women of diverse backgrounds.
The President told the new members that "we women have empowering powers within us, we may or may not know it." She closed with two strong quotes, "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it." Maya Angelou and "You can tell who the strong women are they're the ones building each other up instead of tearing each other down."

Save That Tiger!
The Day I Met Larry
With a tremendous regard for animal rights, conservation of species, and in particular, the efforts made to prevent the extinction of tigers, I write this humorous story partly to entertain but, mostly, in the hopes that many people will consider seriously what part they may play in these critical issues.
In 1969 I worked with a national television network in their broadcast studios in the west. The studios were very large and open, and were occupied by many very talented people. One of the aims of the network was to produce valuable story content, that was true, perhaps controversial, at least heart-rending, and of course, timely.
Television News Story with a Live Tiger
My co-workers and I were told by management that a special event would be happening that afternoon around 5:00 o'clock. A well-known animal conservation organization was recording a news story in our studios that would include a live tiger named Larry. The response to this information was surprise and enthusiasm. A number of staff members decided to stay a little late that Friday afternoon to watch the taping. We were also told that the tiger was safe (although not caged) and in the hands of two professional, and strong, animal handlers who had been with the tiger for many years. But, we were told, we must not rush the animal, make sudden moves, or scream loudly. If we decided to stay we were to conduct ourselves with appropriate decorum. (Who really knew what 'appropriate decorum' was in the presence of a live tiger!)
Hoping to Catch Sight of Larry
Before this news, I had decided to stay late to finish some copy I was writing for our children's' show next week. The copy had to go for 'voice over' tomorrow (Saturday) to be recorded and ready for Monday.
When Larry had not arrived by 5:30 many of the employees left for the weekend. There remained, of course, two producers who would be directing and producing this story.
I worked in a large office that I shared with another writer (not in today), that was slightly around a corner from the production area of the studios. So I thought, "This should be great. If I move slightly in my chair I can see what goes on when the tiger arrives." Then I thought no more about it as I returned to my task.
I was focusing intently on writing something interesting and catchy about how great Cocoa Pops were for Charlie's Clown Club kids. So, although I caught the fact that Larry and his team were coming in to the production area, and felt a rise in excitement, I was still concentrating on my work, eager to finish it and join the fun.
And, there was Larry
With hands literally poised over the keyboard of my typewriter, I sensed more than heard a very quiet 'pad, pad, pad'. I heard the plant on my desk move slightly, I think, and felt annoyed at the interruption to my deep concentration. I turned my head slightly to see what was going on and what the odd odor was, and did a classic double-take. There was Larry, paw on my desk beside my (now moved) plant, dribbling into my pencil cup!
In absolute surprise (not terror) I started to rise, but couldn't. I started to scream, but couldn't. Looking into my eyes were the most loving eyes I could imagine. Larry showed no concern or intent to hurt me, he seemed slightly interested, that was all. He blinked his eyes, snuffled slightly while removing his paw from my desk, turned, and strolled out of my office back to his handlers.
Oh, he was still on his chains and tied to his handlers. In fact, when he had been in my office his chains were taut and at the limit of their length. Larry could not have moved closer to me if he had tried. Of course I didn't know that at the time.
I did not realize I had been holding my breath and was now sputtering, "J…J…J..", trying to call Jeff, one of the producers, to come and help me. He and David, the other producer were laughing and crying at the scene of Larry and me. But both came to my rescue. I shook, and cried, and laughed at the prank they had arranged with Larry's handlers. And, as I peeked out of my office, there was Larry, calming sitting at the feet of his two handlers.
Eventually, I closed up my office and went home for the day. After all, what more could I do. I had just met Larry.

Thanks for the link to my hub & for your love & support of animals.

Voting up, awesome and sharing.
I love tigers! Your photos of Larry are beautiful. We really need to make more effort to save our planet and every living thing on it and to stop destroying this planet in the name of mammon and greed.
Voted you up and beautiful!
I totally support you to save tigers Indeed.
My first connection with tigers came when I was five years old, and they are a lifelong inspiration to me.
So glad you had a chance to say hello to brother Larry! When we save our animal brothers and sisters, we reclaim the right to share this planet with them, and with all life. Voted up and awesome.
A great story to highlight a serious issue. I worried that the next generation is not going to have tigers, elephants, rhinos in the wild any more. Voting this Up and Interesting.
This is quite a compelling read.
There are tigers in my country, and the government is trying hard to save these wonderful animals.
Maralexa....I enjoyed this wonderful story immensely. What an absolutely exquisite animal. I'd be thrilled to see him so up-close and personal...as long as I knew in advance he would not have me for lunch!! lol. God forbid that an animal of such beauty and importance ever even get close to going extinct. That would be a tragedy. Thanks for sharing this with us. Up & awesome!
That's a cute story!!!!! I know what you mean! The pics were so CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great story. I'm not sure I would have reacted as calmly, but I would have been mesmerized to be so close to such a magnificent animal. I'm glad I saw this one go by on the feed. What an outstanding story!
I really enjoyed this hub - there are so many animals in danger - some may seem frightening in the wild, but they are just staying true to their species and trying to protect what little habitat remains for them - it is alarming to contemplate what species will become extinct over the next ten or twenty years - can we save them all? - sadly, probably not - but at least we can try - B.
Awww, what a great story! I've written several stories on endangered tigers and it's refreshing to read one that is so upbeat, funny and endearing. I loved meeting Larry and look forward to reading more of your great Hubs!
A lovely story with beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing. Rated up and beautiful!
Maralexa, I think you are so very fortunate to have been so close to such a gorgeous, regal animal. I particularly treasure the passage, " Looking into my eyes were the most loving eyes I could imagine." I know I'm an idealist, still, I can't help but imagine the wonder you allowed yourself to feel, after the unexpected visit had concluded and you were able to reflect on the experience. I envy you. Lovely, Maralexa.
Save them indeed.
What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing it.
Oh such a sweet, surprise meeting. You wanted it and you got it. Hhhhheee! If i had been you. OMG, i would ve jumped to the moon. Incredible story. So interesting

Ten Tips on Body-Mind Balancing
Can the mind truly affect the body? If yes, to what extend?
"When the mind, body and spirit work as one, anything is possible"- Criss Angel.
Criss Angel, the illustrious magician and illusionist made this statement in connection to his craft of magic. But what he said has a scope beyond magic, and can be seen as a tip towards wholesome well-being, and health in general.
These days, owing to heightening stress levels and the demands of a fast-paced life, we hear a lot about 'psychosomatic disorders,' or disorders where the symptoms of the disease are rooted in the patient's mind. It is common to see people complain of ailments — as simple as headaches or stomach aches or even indigestion — yet not finding a medical cure.
One commonplace instance is where a patient complains of a stiff neck, or stomach cramps when there is tension at home or work. Some of us feel quickening heartbeats, and in some extreme cases, Syncope (temporary loss of consciousness) when we undergo sudden or extreme stress. Illnesses can also arise from being subject to emotional abuse, or from a toxic environment at work.
Experts of medicine, physical fitness, meditation, and proponents of traditional and modern wisdom concede that physical fitness is inextricably linked to mental health. The key to staying fit, therefore, is to nurture a healthy body, a sound mind and maintain inner peace.
If you are looking for ways to do it, read on:
Say 'No' when you want to. One of the main reasons of an illness rooted in the mind is a difficult situation that you linger in, or being a people-pleaser at the cost of your happiness. Learn to stop an uncomfortable situation from prevailing, and say No when you are asked to do something you want to refuse.
Exercise. Physical and mental health are linked in many complex ways. Even as it lends to physical fitness, exercise also releases feel-good brain chemicals called endorphins. Physical activity also plays a key role in emotional wellness and reduces instances of depression in patients.
Sleep sound. Lack of good sleep can lead to many ailments related to the heart. Having a sound sleep helps you approach a difficult situation with calm and poise. Without sleep, you may be disoriented, and this will only worsen any physical ailment you may suffer from.
Have a healthy diet. Skipping your meals and being on inadequate nutrition can cause fatigue and an unclear mind. Be mindful of the food you eat, and consume nutrients that have known to have a positive effect on your body.
Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can lead to low pressure, which in turn leads to depression.
Meditate. Meditation helps to detoxify the mind and is an exercise for the mind. It helps improve one's mood, memory, immunity and even creativity.
Explore the outdoors. Go for a good hike or a picnic. Breathing fresh air is a good distraction from negative thoughts and can be refreshing.
Spend time with your loved ones. Feeling belonged and loved has a way of rejuvenating your health and making you robust.
Be thankful. Gratitude for the small and big joys of life help you focus on the positive side of life. Counting your blessings often can also change your persona, make you more generous, and more optimistic.
Follow your passion. Say 'Yes' to what you love to do, and make time for such things, even if it means taking up a new hobby.
This list is not exhaustive. The key to body-mind balance is to understand that physical and mental wellness are linked intricately. When you uplift one, the other will be on an upswing too.

Dripping of old world class and charm. The Hotel has been reconstructed to mirror the original (destroyed in the bombing of Berlin in the second world war).The spa, restaurants and bar are all superlative. Service is second to none. Near to everything that is new in the former East Berlin. Only metres away from the Brandenburg Gate.The only negative is if you happen to stay there when some celebrity or politician happens to be there. Security can be troublesome.

We loved our stay at the Adlon Kempinski . As Virtuoso guests we were treated royally . As Virtuoso guests we were given a double upgrade so we basically had a luxury apartment , we had free wi fi and International calling , free sumptuous breakfast buffets with caviar and champagne , an 80 euro credit we used the first night for dinner when we were too tired to go out of Hotel. The concierge staff was extremely helpful recommending restaurants, getting museum tickets and getting us last minute reservations to see the dome at the Bundestag . We didn't know you need to make reservations months in advance.

One of the great hotels, ever. However, it is located in the heart of the historical area, where East met West in post WW2. The modern fashion area is across the Tiergarten, while the Brandenburg Gate, Embassy Row, Museums, etc. are in the Adlon's neighborhood.

Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin
By: CAP
Reviewed on: 04 Feb 2019
This was our second stay at the Kempinski in Berlin. Being there on a sad situation of the passing of our son, the hotel went way beyond expectations. They upgraded us on arrival, provided fresh flowers in the room each evening and a nice bottle of wine one day. Breakfast was exceptional. The entire staff could not have done more for us during the difficult time to make our stay comfortable. Anyone traveling to Berlin should consider the Hotel Adlon Kempinski for an outstanding experience.

Longitude: 71.729896° W
A child on a road trip with his family asks, "Where are we?" and the father answers, "Let's check the map. We're off the blue roads [the Interstate Highways marked in blue on the road atlas]. We're off the red roads [the US and state highways]. We're off the black roads [the county highways]. I think we're off the map altogether." It was always my dream to be off the map altogether.
After the jump, a few of the random places (and I mean random literally) that I visited vicariously last month that are "off the blue roads".
- in a foggy paddock in Victoria, Australia, scored on a rainy New Year's Day
- next to a double Soaptree Yucca in Arizona, scored on an "absolutely beautiful" New Year's Day
- in a field next to a farm near Obergeislbach, Germany, with the road to the farm uphill and covered with ice and the air windy and chilly
- in the truck loading area of a now empty warehouse/distribution facility outside of Chicago ("evidently the economic times had hit this plant")
- on a plot of California desert, with streets graded down into the soil and street signs posted at the corners but no actual construction begun ("I assume that the housing collapse in California stalled any planned work.")
- in the Doubletree Hotel complex in Tucson, Arizona, a place that holds defensive driving courses for unnamed drivers unlucky enough to be captured in their dashmobiles by speed cameras
- in California's Charmlee Nature Park, once a working cattle ranch, now a park with trails lined with sagebrush, with a little ceanothus, chamise and laurel sumac for variety
- in a dense brushy area of a house in Maryland with a manicured garden with numerous statuary, a wooden bridge and entry arbor and a beautifully restored 1930s green and white Buick or Pontiac in the driveway
- in a graveyard near Vallauris, France, surrounded by a fence with no gate ("although there must be one somewhere!")
- in a snow-covered field close to the Kuressaare-Kuivastu road in Estonia
- in a snow-covered field in Minnesota ("I broke through the crust on almost every step. I must get some snowshoes.")
- in a snow-covered field in Vermont ("1st jaunt on the new Xmas snowshoes! Got it!")
- and in a flat paddock in Victoria, Australia ("Well, it was a shocker of a day! 44 degrees Celsius and the car's air-conditioning was feeling it just as we were. We stopped the car at 63 metres on the side of Shepherd Rd and I was grateful that I didn't have to go out into the blazing sun.")

Tales of The Arabian Nights Review
I just recently took the experience of both playing this game and owning it. I already heard or knew the game for quite a long time. Its quite famous among board gamer's communities. The very distinct thing in this game is no other that the story-telling element that drives the game. The game was published around 2009 by Z-Man Games. My wife had played it one time before me, which was a bad experience from her testimonial. The persistent main issue she kept saying over and over again is the long play time. It took ages to finish (if you can finish it) and dragging the game long enough makes it pretty much a boring voyage that even Sindbad feels tormented.
But as some of my friends who like the game keep telling me that the game is best playing with 3-players, not more. Though up to 5 players is listed on the box, they all agreed that with 4 and 5-players, its not recommended due to the long downtime and game length. So putting my faith on their testimonials, I jumped into the magic carpet and tried the game with my better experienced friends on the subject. My wife liking the game is essential for my plan for this game, so if I ever get the game, she must like it cause I intend it to be a couple game at least.
So the game comes with a really pretty looking game box (black background with beautiful Arabian decorations and stunning illustrated covers that involves genie and other Arabian tales. Inside, you can find some of the key components in the game which are the Book of Tales, the map board, Reaction Matrixes, player mats, cards and some punch boards for in-game tokens. The map board shows a huge world map with interesting places and the wide networks connecting them all. The center of it is Baghdad, this is where players start the game. But before that, players get a board (more of a reference) some tokens to keep track things like Wealth, Destiny and Story markers as well as Quest, Destination and Origin markers. They also get 3 random skills, drawn one by one (must be different). Then players must decide the amount of Destiny and Story points with the total of 20 (this amount can be adjusted as desired), which they kept it hidden from other players, these are their goals to win the game. The last thing before starting the game, they also draw a quest card. Each player takes turns in clockwise direction from the starting player, move from their current location (they cannot stay unless stated otherwise) based on their Wealth marker. This Wealth gives movement amount limitation in sea or land. Once a player decide to stop their movement, they draw an encounter card and resolve it. To resolve it, the encounter card shows a certain number which will be check in the Encounter book and the active player rolls a die, add the value with the location modifier and destiny modifiers if any. The result will determine the encounter, which then the active player and another player will check the matrix related to it. The active player then decide how they want to interact with that, based on the available actions listed in matrix. Once decide, they roll a destiny die and apply any modifier. The other player then check what paragraph the result is refer to and open that paragraph in the Encounter book (other player can help to do this) and read it aloud to the active player. Usually the reading will show the outcome of the encounter, though some encounters provide options or lead to another paragraph.
So how the paragraphs work? They're random and the subject of this review title. Once your fellow partner read the paragraph, you just let it flow and move on. You start with 3 skills (drawn at the start of the game) and as the game progresses you might have more. The skills might help you on your encounters, the key word is might. Yes, you enter the encounter blindly and just hope that the skills are useful. The paragraphs have a chance to have skill or treasure related to it, in which somehow may help or do the opposite. Master skills are different, they're some sort of upgraded skills, but better in such a big time. Why? Because when you have master skills, the paragraph readers will check whether the three available paragraphs have that master skill inside and the player doesn't need to roll the destiny die. If there is none, then roll the die. So basically master skill helps you get the best outcome from it. So your freewill and composition of your skills quite likely determine the action you will choose, though there's no restriction at all to go nuts and feeling lucky (if it is luck) and choose whatever the hell you want to do. Once you gain the required amount of Destiny and Story points, you need to go back to Baghdad and complete an encounter there in order to win the game.
Final Take
The game is a random fest, you will not know for sure what happen in your encounters. The randomness is high off the chart in this game, you think you know what to do and what will happen but in the end the game might prove you wrong. The game really focuses on the adventure / storytelling aspect, where the fun is. Your characters will have a crazy fun (or not) encounters that will shape the whole adventure in the game. So if you are okay with strong storytelling element that lead your gaming experience, this might be the game for you. It appeals more to players that really treasure the gaming experience and how the theme blends in with character's progresses than to those who really take the final outcome as the utmost important thing out of the game.
On a side note, I do think that the components fall into more of a mediocre level, it's kinda bit on the middle of things, not bad but not good either. Despite the beautiful game box cover, I found that the board is a bit drab (as map should be I guess) and the color tone is a bit heavy to my eyes. The cards, okay the encounter cards have illustrations, but it could have been done better with full illustrations instead of drab looking background. The quest cards is just a card with full of text pasted on it, but I guess that serves it's purpose. Player standees, well cannot complain though, it's just okay. In overall, this is a game where the components not really evoking how people see it visually but rather immersive to the story it provides. So if you cannot get pass through that visual boundary, maybe you can close your eyes and rely on your own imagination. In the end, I do like the game, it provides a unique gaming experience despite its huge luck factor.

Make a plan for using tax refunds before you file
Many of us hustle this time of year to get our taxes together, especially if we're expecting a refund. Have you planned how you will use your tax refund?
Using your refund to pay off bills is generally a great idea, especially if the bills carry a high interest rate. Do you carry a balance on your credit cards from month to month? The average credit card debt for cardholders with a monthly balance is $3,000. At 18 percent interest, you must pay nearly $300 a month to pay that off in a year. With lower monthly payments, it will take even longer to pay off the debt, resulting in increased interest charges. Using your tax refund to pay down your credit card balance will help you pay off the debt faster - and save a lot in high-interest finance charges.

The Dragunov sniper rifle (formally Russian: Снайперская винтовка Драгунова, Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova (SVD), literally "Dragunov's sniper rifle") is a semi-automatic sniper rifle/designated marksman rifle chambered in 7.62×54mmR and developed in the Soviet Union.
The Dragunov was designed as a squad support weapon, since according to Soviet and Soviet-derived military doctrines the long-range engagement ability was lost to ordinary troops when submachine guns and assault rifles (which are optimized for close-range and medium-range, rapid-fire combat) were adopted. For that reason it was originally named "Полуавтоматическая винтовка Драгунова" Dragunov's Semi-automatic Rifle.
This semi-automatic rifle is
unlocked at level 30 for the Recon class and stands as a formidable weapon for different ranges of engagement. Although slower and slightly harder to control than the SR-25, the SVD hits harder. A flexible weapon, it has both a long-range variant for counter-sniping and a short-range variant for mid-range support, and all variants can equip a bipod, allowed for excellent stability for follow-up shots.
- SVD-H SV BLK is a unique Tier IX (9) weapon which was released in the Black Edition weapons pack.

When President Donald Trump declared Robert Muellers investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election a "rigged witch hunt that "really hurts our country and really hurts our relationship with Russia" at Fridays Chequers presser, he had been briefed that Mueller had just indicted 12 Russian military officers for election-related hacking.
Even so, Trump said Thursday "I think we would have a chance to have a very good relationship with Russia and a very good relationship with Putin" were it not for Muellers "rigged witch hunt."
A few hours after Trumps joint presser with British Prime Minister Theresa May, Rosenstein held a news conference in Washington to announce Mueller had indicted 12 Russian military officers, naming the officers. Rosenstein also said Trump had been briefed in advance, as he prepared to meet with Putin next week in Helsinki.
Remember back on July 27 of 2016, when Trump took the stage to goad Russia into hacking Hillary Clinton, saying, "Russia, if you are listening I hope you are able to find the 30K emails that are missing"?
Well, in the indictments released today, it appears the Russians were listening and took Trumps direction.
On or about July 27, 2016, they attempted to spearphish for the first time the email accounts at a domain hosted by a third party provider and used by Clintons office. They also targeted 76 email addresses at the domain for the Clinton campaign for the first time, according to docs provided to press by Rosenstein.
In the indictment, Mueller charges all 12 Russian military officials were acting in their official capacities as members of the Russian Military intel agency GRU, which reports to Putin. The officers were named.
Hours before Rosensteins announcement, Trump dismissively said to the press gathered at Chequers, "I know you will ask Will we be talking about meddling?'" when he meets with Putin on Monday.
"I will absolutely bring it up," he said resignedly. But, he said he did not expect Putin to throw up his hands and say "Gee! I did it. You got me!'" Trump threw up his hands to dramatize.
"There will not be a Perry Mason here. But I will firmly ask the question," Trump said, knowing 12 members of Russian military had been indicted for U.S. election tampering.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Lindsay Walters said in a statement about the indictments: "Todays charges include no allegations of knowing involvement by anyone on the campaign and no allegations that the alleged hacking affected the election result. This is consistent with what we have been saying all along."
On the eve of Trumps scheduled Monday visit with Putin, Rosenstein held the presser to announce the indictment of 12 Russian military officers for trying to interfere with the election in 2016. Eleven were charged with conspiring to hack into computers and steal documents and release them with intent to interfere with the election. One of them and a 12th Russian military officer were charged with conspiring to infiltrate the computer of orgs involved in administering elections including state election boards, secretaries of states, and companies that supply software used in elections.
In the wake of Rosensteins announcement, various Democrats have called on Trump to cancel Mondays meeting with Putin.

Introduction of Shaikh Muhammad Musa AlRoohani Albazi
Shaikh-ul-Hadith wal Tafseer Maulana Muhammad Musa AlRoohani Albazi was indeed the greatest Islamic Scholar of the century. He died on 19th of October 1998 in Lahore, Pakistan. After he was buried in Mayani Grave yard a perfumed smell started coming out of his grave and spread in all the area nearby ( Mayani the biggest & oldest grave yard of Pakistan situated at Lahore ). This perfumed smell continued for about eight months. Thousands & thousands of persons came to witness his grave and felt the smell of paradise from his grave. According to the Islamic History, scholars have said that Maulana Muhammad Moosa Albazi is the third person in the Islamic history from whose grave the smell of paradise came. He spent all of his life among books, in teaching Hadith, Tafseer, Fiqh & in producing Islamic scholars. He wrote more than two hundred valuable Islamic books, most of these books are in Arabic language, some are in Persian & Urdu languages. His every book proved to be a splendid work in Islamic Research. His books get great attention & appreciation from the Islamic Scholars, especially the scholars of the Arab World. They were astonished by his knowledge of Quran, Hadith, Fiqh & Astronomy & his skill in Arabic. All of them confessed that the great books written by him appears to be an Art-Piece of Islamic knowledge & Arabic literature.
Whenever his books were presented to Great Arab Scholars they asked " Is the author of these books is alive ? Really he is the scholar of this century & a non-Arab? They said that from his research work & his astonishing skill in Arabic literature, the author appears to be a Unique Islamic Scholar of several hundred years before ".
Views of Great Arab Scholars about his knowledge
Among several happenings, Views of some of the Great Arab Scholars about his knowledge are quoted below.
The famous scholar & Imam-ul-Haram (Makkah) Shaikh Muhammad Bin Abdullah As-Subayyel once said while addressing a special meeting of Islamic Scholars "As you know I am the Imam of Masjid-ul-Haram (Makkah) , the Islamic Scholars from all over the world come to meet me, but in my whole life I have not seen & met a Islamic Scholar greater in knowledge than Shaikh Muhammad Musa Albazi". Shaikh Muhammad Bin Abdullah As-Subayyel is now Khateeb, Imam & the minister of matters concerning Masjid-ul-Haram & Masjid-e-Nabvi ( Makkah & Madinah ).
Shaikh Abdullah Fathuddin Madni, a great Arab Scholar & a high ranking Aalim in the ministry of information in Saudi Arabia, always said about Shaikh Muhammad Musa AlRoohani Albazi that this Shaikh Muhammad Musa is an alive moving encyclopedia.
Shaikh Ameen Kutbi, the famous Arab Scholar, always praised the late Shaikh Muhammad Musa AlRoohani Albazi & greatly appreciated his work on Islam.
Shaikh Abu-Turab Al-Zahiri, the renowned & well-known Islamic Scholar & the writer of Saudi news papers, always confessed the great works of Shaikh Muhammad Musa AlRoohani Albazi.
Similarly Shaikh Abdullah Bin Humaid, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia also praised the research work of the Shaikh Muhammad Musa AlRoohani Albazi on Hadith, Tafseer, Fiqh, Nahv & Astronomy.
Fathul-Alim is one of the greatest books written in Islamic History. This book written by Shaikh Muhammad Musa Albazi. The Chanceller of Al-Azhar University, Egypt Shaikh Mahmood Azhar was greatly astonished when he observed this book "Fathul-Alim" & he said that We have not seen or even heard this kind of deep research in whole human history.

Maulana Mufti Mahmood was the greatest Mufti of Pakistan. He was also a great politician & the Leader of Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam. Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam is the largest & the oldest movement & party of Muslims in sub-continent ( Pakistan, India, Afghanistan & Bangla Desh ). Mufti Mahmood was also the teacher of the Shaikh Muhammad Musa Albazi. Once he was asked, did u write any book ? he replied in negative and said but I am proud of my life that I have produced a top scholar of the Islamic world in the shape of Muhammad Musa ALbazi. and I proudly present his books all over the world to the scholars and say that I am the author of Shaikh Mohammad Musa albazi.
Miracle of Shaikh Muhammad Musa AlRoohani Albazi
He spent more than 46 years in teaching Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqh and produced more than 10,000 scholars in his life belonging to different countries like Saudi Arabia, England, America, Afghanistan, Iran, India, Bangladesh, Uganda, South Africa, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Nepal, Kenya, Russia, Egypt etc. His books are in Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqh, Astronomy, etc. etc.
His lectures on Tafseer & Hadith were too much popular among the scholars of pakistan. During his lectures he appeared to be an Imam of early Islamic History who have some how come to twentieth century. Some time his lectures continued for five to six hours without any break but even after such long lectures his students appear to be fresher than before & it appeared that his knowledge has put a spiritual power in them.
The valuable Books written by him
The importance & greatness of his books can be estimated from the fact that his books were taught even in his life in the Islamic universities of Pakistan & Iran.
He was the greatest Muhaddis (Explainer of the Hadith meanings) of the century & he was given the Title of "Al-Muhaddis-ul-Azam" ( The Greatest Muhaddis ) by the scolars of Pakistan. His work on Hadith, Tafseer, Fiqh & Astronomy is considered to be the most authentic work on Islam in this century. His book named "Riyaz-us-Sunan" in which he explains the meanings of the Hadiths of Jam-e-Tirmidhi is in more than fifty volumes. Similarly his book in which he explains the meanings of the most difficult Tafseer "Baizawee" ( the Tafseer taught in the Islamic Universities of the world ) is in more than forty five volumes. His book "Fathullah" is about the single word "Allah". This book is in Arabic Language & in two large volumes covering more than 1300 pages. In this book he explains that Almighty Allah is the Greatest similarly his name i.e. the word "Allah" is also the Greatest name.
Some details about the shaykh and his books in arabic:
Further notes:
The Sheikh was born in 1935, he studied in anumber of famous instutions including Darul uloom Haqqania, Madrasa Qasim ul uloom Multan. He recvied his ijazah in tafsir of Quran from Sheikul Quran maulana Ghulamullah khan r.a in taleem ul ullom rawalpindi. He settled in Jamiha Ashrafia where he became a well respected teacher and produced many ulama.
From Pearls of Elders:
The late 'Allamah Muhammad Musa Ruhani al-Bazi (d. 1998 CE) was an exceptional scholar of Pakistan. He was a graduate of Madrasah Qasim al-'Ulum Multan (Pakistan), and his teachers include the renowned mufassir, Mawlana Ghulam Allah Khan and Mufti Mahmud of Multan (Pakistan), khalifah of Shaykh al-Hadith Mawlana Muhammad Zakariyya (may Allah shower His mercy upon them all). The 'Allamah was a scholar of great repute, a prolific author of unique works and a wali of Allah.
He was Shaykh al-Hadith and Tafsir at Jami'ah Ashrafiyah Lahore (Pakistan). His lessons on Jami' al-Tirmidhi and Tafsir al-Baydawi, in particular, became renowned, with students from around the world flocking to attend them.
Below is an email, sent by a friend about the unique writings of 'Allamah Muhammad Musa Ruhani al-Bazi, who remains relatively unknown to the masses. With the authors' permission, we have edited the e-mail and reproduced it for readers of this blog. Please note it was written as an informal e-mail regarding the descriptive names of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace), and is not intended to read as an exclusive article.
Mawlana Ibrahim Amin wrote:
''Imam Sakhawi was known to have collected and created the most number (few hundred) of descriptive names for the Messenger (May Allah bless him and give him peace) until came along Shaykh 'Allamah Muhammad Musa Bazi ar-Ruhani [d. 1998 CE].
He has enumerated 804 names for the Messenger (may Allah bless him and give him peace) in his Al-Barakat al-Makkiyah fi 'l-Salawat al-Nabawiyyah. He also has composed Al-Qasidah al-Husna fi Asma al-Nabi al-'Uzma, in which he quotes some 500 names of the Messenger (May Allah bless him and give him peace). Needless to say, both of these are amazing and truly inspirational works.
In fact, all of Shaykh's works are immensely beneficial. After all, who nowadays has the depth of knowledge to give 1.3 million explanations (tawjihat) for [the Arabic phrase] Amma ba'd (see Shaykh's Al-Najm as-Sa'd fi Mabahith Amma Ba'd) and over 190 explanations for the apparent superiority of Sayyiduna Ibrahim (upon him be peace) over our Messenger (May Allah bless him and give him peace) in the Durud Ibrahim (see Fath al-'Alim fi Halli Ishkali al-Tashbih al-'Azim fi Hadith 'Kama Sallayta 'ala Ibrahim'). He has also authored Fath Allah fi Khasa'is al-Ism Allah (a work on the specialties of the name 'Allah') in 2 volumes spanning over 1500 pages.
His works are of an extremely high standard in terms of research (tahqiq), language (he mostly wrote in Arabic) and depth of scholarship (isti'ab). He has written on many branches of the Islamic sciences including Tafsir (just his Tafsir of Baydawi is in 50 volumes; its muqaddimah (introduction) published separately in two volumes), Hadith (his commentary on Sunan al-Tirmidhi is the most extensive and arguably the most authoritative from scholars affiliated to Deoband), Usul al-Fiqh (an amazing commentary on Sharh al-Tawdih wa 'l-Talweeh, Arabic literature (including two different commentaries of Diwan Mutanabbi), Arabic Grammar and Syntax, Etymology (sarf), 'Urudh & Qawafi (the sciences of poetic meterage and literary criticism), Arabic, History (an amazing work in this regard is his Ghayat at-Talab fi Aswaq al-'Arab, an extremely meticulous and insightful work into the markets of historic Arabia and their traditions), Classical Logic (Mantiq) (He has 8 lengthy commentaries on the major classical works in this field alone, such as a commentary on 'Allamah Hamdullah as-Sandili's commentary on Sullam al-'ulum and an annotation of Mir Zahid's commentary on Mulla Jalal), Philosophy (in both traditional branches of Metaphysics: Cosmology and Ontology), Ancient Hellenistic Ptolemaic Astronomy (5 major works), Modern Copernican Astronomy and Astrophysics (31 works, of which 6 written as core texts (mutun) and 2 major commentaries) and some other books in Da'wah and spiritual reformation (Islah) etc. The total number of his published or soon to be published works is 135, a number of which are in several volumes.
Some of his works can be obtained from the Azhar Academy bookshop in London, UK, for the benefit of those 'ulama that are resident in the UK.''

The unsung life of middle relievers may go unnoticed by the casual fan.
But their teammates and coaches appreciate their valuable role.
Rangers manager Ron Washington isn't ready to push for a year-end Middle Relief Man of the Year Award, but he's certain that middle relief success is a requirement for any team with postseason aspirations.
"To me, sometimes, what they do saves the game right there," he said. "Maybe the closer gets the save at the end, but the game was won and lost when those guys came in and shut it down. They don't get the credit for it, but that's where the game was won and lost."

Just ask the 2013 world champion Boston Red Sox. Junichi Tazawa and Craig Breslow combined to pitch 128 innings with a combined ERA under 3.00 but were only a combined 10-6 with no saves. There is no Cy Young or Rolaids Relief Award coming their way, but there may be no title without them.
"It's a different game today, and sometimes six innings is good enough [for a starter]," said Rangers middle reliever Jason Frasor, who had a 2.57 ERA in 49 innings a year ago. "You have to cover nine more outs and you're matching up lefty-righty. You piece it all together. That's the way it goes. I understand.
"At the end of the day, win or lose, people asked, who pitched? You hope the starter goes long, and if the starter goes long you're usually just watching the game that day."
Frasor is in his 11th season and has closed games before. Rangers left-hander Neal Cotts had a choice after starting four games his 2003 rookie season for the White Sox. Going into the '04 season he chose the bullpen in the big leagues over starting the season in Triple A as a starter.
"Well, [the decision] was easy for me," said Cotts, who got a taste of the big leagues as a rookie and wanted more. "I figured I could learn just as much up there. The whole mindset when I got up there is you'll be a reliever and you can transition back to a starter eventually and it just never really happened. But I'm not mad about it. I wouldn't take it back for what I went up there and did."
At 36, Frasor is the second oldest player in the Rangers' spring training clubhouse. He was the ace starter, of course, in high school and college. But he's at peace in the pen.
"Yeah, but I wasn't coming in and facing [David] Ortiz, [Derek] Jeter, and [Albert] Pujols and these guys," Frasor said of his youthful starting days. "A lot of games are won and lost in the sixth, seventh and eighth inning. It's an important job, but it's a great job. The sixth, seventh, eighth innings ... that's my gig."
It's a role he's had for much of his professional career. Mopping up messes and tasked with escaping improbable jams.
"Sometimes you come in with no outs with a runner on third. You going to strand that guy, really? Tough to do, tough to do," Frasor said.
Both Frasor and Cotts aren't too concerned about the seemingly thankless nature of their roles. Their importance may be lost on some fans, but not on their teammates and manager.
"I don't think we're unsung at all when you're part of a team," said Cotts, who was 8-3 with an 1.11 ERA in 57 innings in 2013. "Maybe in terms of the stat line and in terms of numbers that people on the outside look at, maybe they don't perceive it."
Washington sure does.
"I think every team needs that," he said. "You need guys that can come in and maybe shut innings off. Maybe they can give you another inning, help you get to the part of the bullpen that you want to get to. They don't get the credit for it, but that's where the game was won and lost."
A middle reliever's main priority, Frasor said, is to be aggressive and throw strikes.
"[The manager] wants to see strikes. You have to be aggressive," he said. "The only way I sleep at night, good or bad results, is if I go right at them. If I'm hesitant and if I pitch unsure of myself, bad things happen. That's when I can't sleep. If I go at them, that hitter is getting paid a lot of money, too. I'm still upset, don't get me wrong. But at least I went right at them."

Eric Takes A Corpulent Dong
Eric has never been the kind of man to pick up dates in bars and he is certainly not the kind of guy to fuck on the first date but when he met Ben at his favorite bar one night he couldn`t help himself. At first the two of them just chatted but as they got to talking and as the night went on they soon found themselves back at Eric`s place and it didn`t take long for the real action to start! At first the two of them acted nervously, they wanted to come across as shy but as soon as their clothes came off all shyness went out of the window! Eric couldn`t help but slip that large ramrod of Ben`s between his lips and as he sucked he felt Ben pushing the back of his head to get that sausage deeper in to his mouth. Just the thought of tasting his sweet dude juice in his throat made him bob his head harder and faster but Ben wasn`t about to let him off that easy! Eric soon found himself butt naked riding that huge penis with his tight puckered dark hole!
