Tankless Water Heater Expert Service
We all love to shower. But most of the time, cold water is the reason why we decide not to take a bath on a regular basis. Thus, water heater was invented. This is not just for showering but also direct from your faucet. With the help of water heater, you have the option to use hot or cold water.
In the past, traditional water heater use tanks. This method is to basically boil the water and store it inside the tank. But nowadays, as technology advances, there is now what we call – tankless water heater.
There are various advantages when using a tankless water heater. If you want a fast conversion of water from cold source inside the pipe down to your faucets, tankless water heater can easily do that. With the latest science method, you can have an unending flow of hot water that instant. Tankless means there's no tank to store. All you need is that small piece of device attached somewhere safe and allow energy to run its function to produce the hot water you need.
Also, you don't have to wait that long to have the water heated. With this latest invention, water will heat immediately. To add up, it has also longer lifespan. On a regular tank water heater, it is recommended to have it replaced at most a decade due to the deterioration of the tank. But if you invest in tankless water heater, you can double its lifetime versus the traditional one. Therefore, you don't have to replace the item for at least two decades. Even if the item costs more than the traditional one, the advantages says a lot so it is really a must buy.
In addition to the longer lifespan, you can also save more on the monthly costs. According to reports, consumers using tankless water heater is cost-efficient. This will help consumers to lessen their utility bills and save more over the years.
If you have a small space, tankless water heater is the wisest you will ever buy. It doesn't consume space. It can be pinned to the wall so no need to worry about its place inside your home. You can easily monitor it, too, if there is problem such as overheating or other damages.
Another advantage is that it never runs out of hot water. For a traditional tank water heater, if three or more are using hot water at the same time like taking a shower or on the sink, the tendency is that the hotness will fade. But with your tankless water heater, hot water is consistent regardless of the users.
If you are convinced to use tankless water heater, inquire with the right company that doesn't just sell but also install and maintain. This will help you when it comes to repair and maintenance since the seller is also the one that installed the heater inside your home. Of course, brands are important so make sure to ask them what are the best brands and what are the pros and cons using these different brands.

Lisbon is the country's capital, brimming with hustle and bustle and located on the coast. You can while your time away café hopping and noseying around neighbourhoods – Bairro Alto being our favourite. The city is colourful and lively and the atmosphere is contagious. A little train jaunt outside the city is Sintra – well a visit. A little up the coast, the beaches of Estoril and Cascais are easy day trips when the sun is out.
Each ruling dynasty that came here left their mark on the capital. The knock on impact of this is that each of Lisbon's neighbourhoods have their own unique character, from the grand 18th-century buildings of the lower town to the labyrinth-like streets of the oldest district, Alfama, that sits at the base of the Moorish Castelo de São Jorge. Interestingly, an earthquake in 1755 brought much of Lisbon to its knees, and nowadays the city's architecture is clearly defined as being pre- or post-quake.

Monday in BrusselsPosted in
- Photo Journal
New Year's came and went, and now I'm back in Leuven, trying to reestablish routine. This is difficult when the sun waits until 8 am to rise, and it's below freezing until later in the morning — often, noon. Thankfully, Friday and continuing through this coming week, we will take four days in Lisbon, three days in Porto, and then three in Amsterdam before returning home. I haven't had the easiest time in reestablishing routine, but hopefully the travel and warmer weather will breathe new life into my cold bones.
Soon to travel, I'd be remiss to not post December's Brussels photos. If I didn't, I doubt I would later, and the second half of Winter Review would be lost.
Let's start with context. Before returning to Texas for the holiday, I had to replace my laptop battery. I planned to go without the laptop for two to three days — even though the repair was, to my surprise, complete the day-of — and on a Monday morning, arrived at the Apple Store in Brussels at 10 to deliver my laptop. With me, I had my iPad for work, and my camera for the rest of the day's exploration of Brussels. These were taken over the day's walk and following morning that my laptop was in for repair.
I walked from East to West, starting with The Hotel Brussels' bay windows, overlooking Park Egmont. The small cafe in the park serves well to bisect the otherwise green, but sparse area.
Depending on the day and weather, the architecture in any city either fondly invokes a sense of identity — or strangles one with it. This particular Monday was a cold day in Brussels, but with the forced vacation of laptop repair, I enjoyed it. The most work I did that day was drafting an engineering spec, and responding to email — which I did from Café Capitale, along my walk.
After an espresso and number of emails, I continued walking to the Grand Place. I first wanted to visit Studio Baxton and review the vintage glass, but had to dawdle to arrive near their opening time.
As I approached the Grand Place, I started retreading familiar streets from my last few visits to Brussels. I'd visited once last February for the Lights festival, once with friends for shopping, and then again for a photo exposition in the early Fall — but I hadn't taken the time to explore, let alone to do so alone. It was an opportunity not only to take my own time, but to pause, and to perfect shots I'd attempted, and failed, to previously capture.
The winter colors I found in Leuven were continued in Brussels' winter — and now on return, continue. Yellows stand out in gold tones that offer fleeting but comforting warmth, and everyone is tightly bundled against the wind.
As I got nearer to the Grand Place, I found increasing groups of tourists — making for conveniently distracted surroundings, and great photos of those around me. There was plenty activity on the streets, and once to the Grand Place itself, there was so much going on that none minded a stranger with a camera.
I bought a coffee at the Grand Place and continued — unexpectedly, running into the Christmas market. At this point, I'd visited Studio Braxton, and found a camera repair store further West that I wanted to investigate. Rather than take the metro, I continued walking, enjoying the luxury of empty time.
Unfortunately, little came out well from the Christmas market itself, due to the same reason I sought a repair store — my floating EVF-distance wheel. Luckily, this only affected that batch of shots. Combined with the XF-56mm's razor-thin focal plane when wide open, the pairing isn't ideal.
I visited the store, and learned that my repair would take longer than either my return home for the holiday, or planned time in Portugal — and there was no way I would take either without my camera. We'll see when I'm able to part with it long enough for the increasingly necessary repair. Leaving, I made a roundabout way to Mok. There's one in Leuven, and Austen and I have come to enjoy their coffee roasts, and the Brussels location is significantly larger — and, I hadn't visited, despite us having been next door months before, visiting the Brussels Beer Project.
I took an hour or two at Mok, further enjoying the empty time and continuing A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things. With surprise, I received an email telling me that my laptop was ready for pickup ahead of schedule, but I'd already taken the day in exploring, and couldn't arrive back to the Apple Store before close.
The walk back to the station from Mok was less relaxed than the preceding day had been, but I didn't want to arrive after dark. The brisk walk didn't stop me from squeezing off a few good shots.
The station's geometry and combination of formal, industrial, and traffic-sign colors offer a unique juxtaposition of competing elements.
As someone who enjoys unplanned and unbooked time, I'm awful at preserving it, let alone creating it. One sees patterns emerge in people and their surrounds when they take time to pause and separate themselves, and that happens much more easily when they one has room to breathe.
It's too easy to first become busy, and then to keep oneself busy. I am the most at peace when this is not the case, and I can take the time to consciously reflect on myself and my surroundings. These couple of days without my laptop (and with diminished work) were less time than I'd planned, but were still more meaningful than I imagined.
I hope to write more on this type of unstructured time, and unstructured creative time, once back from Portugal — but only after vacation, and its photos.

Hospice statement 5 June following passage of euthansia law in Quebec
Will continue to provide care and comfort to terminally ill but will NOT act to hasten natural process of death
For immediate release
KIRKLAND, Quebec – June 5, 2014 – In light of the passage today by the National Assembly of new Quebec end-of-life legislation, the West Island Palliative Care Residence wishes to clarify that the new legislation will not change in any way the services it provides to terminally ill patients.
The Residence will continue to act in the way it always has – to provide the best possible care and comfort, including symptom relief to the dying but without taking any actions that hasten the natural process of death.
The new Quebec legislation permits, under certain conditions, Quebec health institutions and health professionals to provide "medical aid in dying" – the administration of drugs or other actions to intentionally cause the death of a patient. The legislation also permits any health professional as well as "palliative care hospices," of which the West Island Palliative Care Residence is one, the option to choose not to do so, provided patients are informed that this is the case.
The West Island Palliative Care Residence has chosen to exercise this option and to make no change to the type and methods of care it delivers, meaning it will not take actions that intentionally cause a patient's death.
"The goal of good palliative care is never to hasten the end of life," said Teresa Dellar, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Residence. "We make the last days of life as comfortable and pain-free as possible so patients can live them in the best possible manner." In fact, she noted, good palliative care from early on in a terminal illness has been shown in clinical studies to both extend patients' lives and improve their quality of life.
"If we as a society are going to offer more choices to patients at the end of life, as this legislation does, then we must ensure one of those choices is ready access to high-quality palliative care in the patient's community, as we offer at our Residence," continued Ms. Dellar. "If quality palliative care is available, few will choose to end their lives prematurely. We can't allow the premature ending of lives to become a substitute for our responsibility to provide compassionate care and symptom relief at the end of life."
The West Island Palliative Care Residence will be changing its application forms and information for patients and families to comply with the new legislation and make it clear to them that the Residence will not provide the intentional end-of-life services now permitted.
About palliative care
Palliative care does not hasten death – as do euthanasia and assisted suicide – but ensures it is as comfortable, dignified and pain-free as possible. It is a conservative estimate that palliative care could be useful in more than half of Canadian deaths, or more than 125,000 patients per year. As proportionately fewer Canadians die suddenly or quickly from accidents or acute illnesses, more face end of life with chronic illnesses or diseases such as cancer that can extend over a relatively long period of time. Many dying patients end up in hospital ERs during the last weeks of life, an indicator of poor-quality end-of-life care and a very expensive and unsatisfactory alternative to palliative care.
About the West Island Palliative Care Residence
The West Island Palliative Care Residence is an independent, community-based, non-profit institution, accredited by the Quebec government to provide end-of-life palliative care services to residents of the West Island of Montreal. The Residence allows terminally ill patients to die in comfort and with dignity in a warm, home-like environment, close to their family, and in their community. It is not part of or affiliated with any hospital or health institution and services are provided without charge. The Residence has 23 beds in two pavilions, making it the largest freestanding palliative care residence in Canada. Since opening in 2002, the Residence has welcomed more than 2,500 patients in the final stages of ALS, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as 10,000 of their family members.

Kyoto, Japan, 9 November 2106 – His Holiness the Dalai Lama arrived in Japan yesterday on his 23rd extended visit to the country. He was received at Narita Airport by Representative Lungtok, Mr. Hiraoka Kouichi, Principal of Seifu High School and the main organizer of the visit, a few old Japanese friends, and a representative from the Indian Embassy. Approximately 100 Tibetans waited outside the airport to give His Holiness a traditional welcome.
Speaking briefly with Japanese media at the airport, His Holiness said he was most interested in meeting young people during his visit, since it is they who will shoulder the responsibility for creating a happier, more peaceful world. He stressed the importance of developing inner values, pointing out that material development alone does not bring inner happiness.
After spending a restful night in Narita, His Holiness travelled by Shinkansen to Kyoto. A short drive from the station brought him to the Higashi Honganji Temple where he was received by Chief Priest Otani Choujyun.
His Holiness told an audience of more than 500 how honored he felt to visit such an historic temple. He explained that when visiting Western countries, he is hesitant to talk about Buddhism to people with a Judeo-Christian background. However, since Japan is traditionally a Buddhist country he is comfortable advising his listeners to be 21st century Buddhists. This entails study and coming to a proper understanding of what the Buddha taught and what the Three Jewels are—mere faith without reason is not sufficient.
Following a recitation of the 'Heart Sutra', His Holiness explained how the dharani - Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha indicates coming to understand emptiness and making progress through the Five Paths. He mentioned that the explicit content of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras is how to understand emptiness, and that in the Tibetan tradition this is studied for 20 to 30 years.
His Holiness then took a few questions from the audience.
A peacemaker asked how she could apply an understanding of emptiness to her profession. His Holiness answered that it was important for her to find at least 30 minutes in her daily routine to think about emptiness. He expressed appreciation of the work she is doing but stressed that genuine peace is founded on inner peace.
"Peace is not a mere absence of war or violence—it's deeper than that. What leads to inner peace is cultivating a compassionate heart. It is developing inner peace that creates peaceful individuals, communities, and a peaceful humanity. We talk about a demilitarized world, but first need to achieve inner disarmament. Although I may not see it in my lifetime, I am convinced that if we make a serious effort now, the world could become a more peaceful place in the latter part of the 21st century."
Asked how to bring compassion into business, His Holiness said that the quality of all actions depends on the motivation for them. At present, because the existing education system is oriented towards material goals, we take a materialistic view of life. However, by itself this does not lead to happiness. Today, despite progress in science and technology, we face many problems, essentially because we lack moral principles. We need to cultivate compassion and greater respect for other's well-being. When action is motivated by anger or hatred it brings about harmful results. Action motivated by compassion brings about beneficial results.
In concluding their meeting, His Holiness and Chief Priest Otani Choujyun released a joint statement:
"The purpose of our lives is to be happy. Buddha taught us how to eliminate suffering and how to obtain happiness.
To be happy we must recognise the kindness of others—the kindness of our parents, siblings, spouses, friends, teachers, all sentient beings and even the natural environment. Recognising the kindness of others will lead us to feel compassion for others.
Based on the Buddha's teachings all of us gathered here today declare our commitment to do our best to create a better society in order to help everyone in the world achieve happiness."
From Kyoto, His Holiness drove to Osaka where he was received by a small group of friends and supporters, including Hiraoka Hidenobu, Director of the Seifu High School and an old friend of the Tibetan people.
Tomorrow, His Holiness will begin to teach Shantideva's 'A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life'.

Oshkosh parents sound off on school start times
TOWN OF BLACK WOLF -- Oshkosh Area School District parents are sounding off on a proposal to return school start times to what they were in 2012-13, with the concept garnering mixed reviews.
The issue of start and end times is returning to the school board after state-imposed budget cuts led the district to change school start times in 2013-14 to reduce transportation costs. Moving the start of elementary school earlier and secondary schools later reduced busing costs by $180,000.
Among the concerns with the current schedule are that elementary school students are catching the bus before 7 a.m., while middle and high school student athletes are missing more classes on days when they play away games.
"My child is one of the first people to get on the bus, and it's dark," Stephanie Polak said, noting the bus picks up her son at about 6:40 a.m. "I'm there with him every single morning. ... It's a long time for a child to be in the dark, and it's really, really early.
"Is there a way ... that we can just start that elementary route a few minutes later? That 6:40 time is just really early."
Polak was one of seven people who turned out Monday evening at Lakeside Elementary School for the second of four community forums the district is holding to gather public input about the start and end times -- a little less than half the number of people who showed up for the first forum, which was held Tuesday at Carl Traeger Middle School, officials said.
Superintendent Stan Mack II joined Deputy Superintendent David Gundlach and Andrew Jones, the district's executive director of administration, along with Oshkosh4Education Commission Chairwoman Beth Wyman to facilitate the discussion, asking participants their thoughts on six questions related to the topic.
Changing back to the previous schedule would eliminate the $180,000 in transportation savings because there are more elementary school students who ride the bus. That makes it impossible to adjust pick-up times on the front end and would cause the district to increase the number of bus routes, Jones said.
When asked whether it would be possible to implement some sort of fee for the one-third of the district's 10,000 families whose students ride the bus, Mack said that likely would not be feasible because the district needs to ensure a level playing field when it comes to providing transportation for students.
Kari Meszaros said she's grateful for the district's decision to change the schedule starting in 2013-14, saying the previous schedule meant long days on the bus.
"It's tons better (now) than when my daughter was in kindergarten," Meszaros said. "She got picked up at 7 o'clock and got home around 4. ... She was the first kid on and the last kid off, and that went for two years.
"I've been really impressed in the transition over the past couple years," she said.
While she wouldn't mind a start time somewhere in between the previous and current schedules, Meszaros said she understands the district's dilemma in having to cut $180,000 from elsewhere in the budget if it returns to the old schedule.
Erin Coppernoll expressed concern about the frequency of the change and what type of an effect such an "abrupt change" would have on children.

FBC Bank Limited was yesterday honoured as the overall winner of the prestigious 2020 Zimbabwe Independent Banks and Banking Survey awards in a virtual ceremony held to honour the resilient spirit of the Zimbabwean banks.
FBC defied odds, improving its income base by leveraging on various strategies.
In 2019, a significant portion of the bank's income was generated from the non-funded line, which typically includes fees and commissions, foreign currency dealings and fair value adjustments.
FBC's income derived from foreign currency dealing was the highest for the sector and this performance has been sustained into 2020.
Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe was voted runner-up, after reporting the highest income during the half year ended June 30, 2020.
The banks' high net worth and largely corporate clients involved in exporting have given it a capacity to withstand a volatile climate.
Lead adjudicator and Equity Axis MD Respect Gwenzi said winners in this category showed a quicker growth in overall income and strengthened liquidity and overall balance sheet position.
"In our adjudication process, we sought to review and award outperforming banks based on their financial performance over the six months period to June 2020," he said.
"The key categories included the overall winner and runner up, which was determined based on income performance, balance sheet performance and key performance ratios. These banks hardened their balance sheet to counter inflation, at a rate that was above sector averages. The banks also kept alive traditional such as funded income, despite the risks of inflation, low interest rates and heightened repayment risk. In the category on innovation, banks were rated based on the products released and processes adjustment through digitisation."
Speaking at the event, held under the theme "Reimagining Banking: Beyond Survival", African Development Bank (AfDB) country economist Walter Adero pointed out despite the macro-economic challenges of banks and the fact that most of the banks are small, particularly the domestic banks, they have remained afloat.
However he stressed that there was need for more reforms should the financial system recover its asset base which has been eroded.
"We know that the forex situation over the years has not been great, but the government through the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has constituted the forex auction system in June this year.
We believe the auction system is just a starting point and we will see improvement. We need to develop the financial system through developing the system. We know that the asset base has been eroded given the challenging forex situation but we believe if stability is restored in the forex system the asset base will recover," he said. "This is because unlike in other countries where the economy relies mostly on the local currency, in Zimbabwe we know that the banking system has for many years relied on forex especially the US dollar. From, last year, a transition started and it is continuing. It will take some time before the banking system is domiciled in the local currency."
Adero added that reforms would ensure that the sector achieves stability as a requirement for financial intermediation.
CBZ Bank Limited was the overall winner of the Innovations and Channels Award, while BancABC Zimbabwe was the runner up.
BancABC Zimbabwe also scooped the Markets Visibility and Positioning Award, while Nedbank won the Sustainability award. CABS got the best performing Building Society award.
Odero urged the Zimbabweans banks to embrace new products, digitisation and global value chains that would make the country's financial system vibrant and profitable.
"Digital is more and it's something the bank group is working on. We have several products which we can support the Zimbabwe financial system with. So if there is appetite, the African development bank will come in and partner some of you and see how we can develop some of your products going forward," he said. "The next thing which we need to do is embrace to embrace partnerships. Given the advent of the internet, there is globalisation of everything so that the financial system is not left out.
"So the banking system in Zimbabwe has to weather the storm and join the global value chains. When I talk about global value chains it means they have to be in partnerships with other more established financial institutions either in Africa or aboard so that they can tap into the value chains of the financial system."

With a gentle hand, "Western" deposits us in the community of Eagle Pass, Texas, where gruff, mustachioed men in 10-gallon hats herd cattle for a living and life tumbles by, save for a few modern conveniences, the way it has for decades. "Just Another Day in Paradise," announces a plaque on the office wall of the three-term mayor, Chad Foster, a silver-haired (and -tongued) gringo who speaks Spanish with a native's colloquial ease and imparts a sense of level-headed decency wherever he goes. That includes frequent trips into Piedras Negras, the Mexican town that sits just across the border from Eagle Pass, populated by simple, hard-working people who seem mercifully insulated from the drug violence that has turned much of the country into armed conflict zones.
"Western" is about what happens when that violence does finally come a cropper, and how it disrupts the idyllic status quo of both towns. The seemingly unflappable Foster finds himself caught in the crossfire — literally — when a gunfight breaks out in a popular Piedras Negras lunch spot. But at least he lives to tell the tale, unlike his mayoral counterpart, Jose Manuel Maldonado, who dies in a mysterious plane crash midway through the film. (Foster himself died of cancer in 2012, after filming had wrapped.) Others feel the effects less directly, like the cattle rancher Martin Wall, whose business grinds to a halt when the USDA places a temporary ban on livestock trade between the towns, out of concerns for its inspectors' safety. A barrel-chested man who looks like he could easily stare down a snarling bull, Wall turns to mush whenever the Rosses catch him in the presence of his precocious young daughter, Brylyn.
As in their "45365" (about everyday life in their hometown of Sidney, Ohio) and "Tchoupitoulas" (a nocturnal tour of New Orleans as seen through the eyes of three young brothers), the Rosses turn on a dime from the matter-of-fact (meetings with councilmen and constituents, the daily grind of ranch work) to the lightly impressionistic (desert winds blowing down dusty, empty streets) and back again. Stylistically, they seem to be informed equally by the cinema verite world of the Maysles brothers, the loving ethnography of Les Blank, and the ecstatic landscapes of Terrence Malick — a mix of influences that makes "Western" fascinating to watch even when it (occasionally) seems too enamored of its own poetic longueurs. Always, the film benefits from the brothers' instinctive observational gifts and their intimate access to both communities, which seem far more alike than different, no matter the $49 billion border fence that threatens to divide them.
Where "45365" referred to a specific zip code and "Tchoupitoulas" to a storied NOLA thoroughfare, "Western," true to its very title, is finally a more conceptual work. The movie is as much about these two towns as it is about an entire way of life that seems to be vanishing even as the Rosses are busy filming it, and along with it a genre of stories in which men of virtue reliably won out over those of ignoble aims — and didn't have to wear capes or masks to do it. In "High Noon," Gary Cooper's grizzled marshal only had to worry about the arrival of a sadistic gang, not a sprawling criminal enterprise with the resources of a multinational corporation. But for the residents of Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, there is no climactic shootout on Main Street, and Main Street itself may not be long for this world.— Scott Foundas, Variety

How are you training for Eternal Weekend?
Marland_Moore last edited by Marland_Moore
I cannot play at Eternal Weekend this year, but my brother is playing and I am trying to coach him. I call and text him regularly to ask him to do sample hands and decide mulligans. We go through side board scenarios and obviously we play when we can.
How are you training for Eternal Weekend? We know the field is somewhat wide open. We know this is the largest event for Vintage with the best players in world. We also know that playing 10 rounds of playing Magic is brutal.
I played 8 rounds of SCG Con day one and my head was aching in round 8. It was no excuse for my loss but playing a large number of rounds in a high variance format is hard.
What are some of the best strategies?

I'm training for the non-Magic portion. I drank most of a bottle of Crown during the Texas game last weekend.

I did that too, but during a league on MODO, I think I'm adequately prepared for the entire weekend

I'm a new dad and don't play MTGO, which puts me at a big time/volume disadvantage. However, my plan is similar to SCGCon:
- At least once a week, jam some Gchat testing with my Houston playtesting partner Ben.
- My Austin buddy Patrick is also a new dad and playing in Champs, so we're gonna try to jam games whenever we relieve our wives of mom-duty (this'll be easier when our kids start bottle feeding).
- Extensively goldfish my deck both pre- and post-board to make sure everything runs smoothly.
- Live and breath Vintage content between now and then so I can keep my finger on the pulse. I.e. read all the active threads here, listen to podcasts, watch streams, and constantly check Mtgtop8 results. I'm gonna be playing a deck (and particularly a sideboard) that wants to be tuned to the meta, so I need to understand current trends.
- On that last point, my plan is to not think about Legacy Champs, so my limited time and brainpower can focus on doing Vintage Champs correctly.

@stuart Congrats on being a new dad. The timing on becoming a dad for me is too close to Champs for me to go. I like your training routine, and I hope you do well.
I would recommend that you pack a ton of snacks. I drank a lot of coffee at SCG Con and it hurt me in the late rounds but drinking a ton of beer somehow helped me at the Old School Players ball.
Stuart last edited by
@moorebrother1 100% agreed - I stick to a strict snack and caffeine regimen at bigger events and have found that to make as big difference. Coffee hasn't been bad for me as long as I don't stop drinking it later in the day. Plus, it gives you the coffee-breath-tilt advantage.

Plan to get there a day early and jam one of the vintage trials to warm up. Not super competitive, just enjoy jamming powerful cards. I have to go x-5 before I consider dropping. I enjoy getting to play vintage in paper for the sale of playing!

walk around between matches. Gets the blood flowing.
Been using untap with @Prkchpsndwiches to run the "gauntlet" of decks we expect to see, and that is working well. Allows us ot build things/change fast, as well as talk through strategy and proper play without feeling pressure.
I'm firing up a Vintage league over the month of October locally, allowing proxies. About 7 solid so far up to maybe 12 depending on the next few days. We might do round robin, which sounds like a ton of matches, but this actually allows us to play at leisure over the month; each participant meets with each other whenever they can arrange that between the 2 of them, which isn't so hard given nearly every player is a regular attendee at one or more weekly events at our most popular local store.

See Bring Me the Horizon Recall Pooping Misadventure Atop Mount Kilimanjaro
In mid-October of 2017, Bring Me the Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes and keyboardist Jordan Fish scaled Mount Kilimanjaro, a dormant volcano in Tanzania and the highest mountain in Africa at 19,340 feet. The U.K. rockers, who are about to drop their new album Amo, did this to raise money for the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Southampton Hospital, which helped Fish's then–4-year-old son, Eliot, recover from a brain hemorrhage. Fish reports that his son is doing very well now and they were able to donate over £70,000. While the BMTH members' climb was serious in nature, it doesn't mean the guys didn't have fun on the trek, as evidenced by their posts on Instagram. And they bonded in other ways, too: When Revolver recently asked about the most memorable moment from the experience, Sykes quickly replied with a story about needing to go No. 2 at the top, where there was a distinct lack of amenities. "But just to show you how good of a friend I am," proclaimed Fish, "I gave him my hat to wipe his ass." Watch the two hilariously recount the legend of how Fish's soiled hat "to this day, remains at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro."

We, down here in the "Sunshine State", just recovered from Hurricane Irma. It was a massive storm that covered almost the entire state. Floridians are used to hurricanes. We expect them every year, and most of the locals don't freak out when the local weathermen starts predicting mayhem from a storm over 1,000 miles away. Don't get me wrong; we're prepared year-round and watch storms closely, but as one of the fastest growing states we have lots of newcomers who aren't experienced with this annual weather phenomenon.
Hurricane Season
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30th. Since most survival sites tend to focus on apocalyptic events, it's so much easier to get the whole family on board with hurricane preparedness than the collapse of civilization. So let's start preparing.
Watch your local weatherman. Hurricanes should not catch anyone by surprise. If the hurricane is a Category 2+, if you live in a low-lying area or if heavy persistent, flooding rain is predicted and you may have to evacuate.
Bug-Out Bag
Have a bug-out bag prepared with essential meds, toiletries, change of clothing, snacks, books for you, toys for the kids, and all your important documents (i.e. passports, mortgage statements, DD-214's, et cetera). These documents can easily be destroyed in a hurricane. Heed these evacuation orders from your local authorities; you don't want to be a statistic.
Sheltering In Place
If you shelter in place you must bring everything inside. This includes plants, dog dishes, toys, trash cans, et cetera. Otherwise, these can easily become missiles hurtling through the air at 70+ mph. Don't waste your time taping up windows. The only effective way to keep missiles from breaking your windows is with storm shutters or properly installed sheets of plywood.
Take care of your maintenance. Ensure all your trash is picked up before the storm. Fill up all of your vehicles and gas cans. Gas stations may not re-open for days or weeks after a storm, and store gas cans appropriately. Also, don't forget your pets; they need to be taken care of too.
Stocked Food
First of all, let's acquire items that can be used year round. Food is essential, but always stock up on the foods you normally eat. MRE's will keep for years, but very few people eat them for dinner. Stock up on canned goods that are regularly served at your household, and rotate them. You want food that requires a minimum of preparation. (Remember the electricity is probably going to go off.) Convenient foods like granola bars, nuts, tuna, and the like are essential to any pantry. You don't have to max out your credit card to eat well either. Look for specials at Wal-Mart, Aldi, and Publix. Often times you can budget an extra $20-30 dollars every payday and maintain a full pantry. Don't forget the baby. Stock up on baby food, diapers, and other assorted baby gear.
Even with low-prep food you need to cook, buy a small charcoal grill or a gas grill (make sure the gas bottle is full) to cook on.
Perishable Foods
Foods you don't want to stock up when a storm is approaching are frozen meats, dairy, eggs, ice cream, et cetera. Perishables will keep for about 24-48 hours in a refrigerator after the juice goes out. My suggestion is after the storm has passed, light up the grill and invite your neighbors over for a cookout. This is a great time to meet the people in your neighborhood whom you may not get to know otherwise, and you can use up your perishables before they spoil.
How do you keep food from going bad in your refrigerator? Keep the door closed. The less time the door is opened, the less cold air seeps out. Fill gallon milk jugs with water and freeze them before the storm hits, place them inside the fridge and keep the door closed. Make sure you only use potable water in the jugs so you can drink it when it melts. That brings us to our next essential topic– water.
You will die without fresh water. This simple fact seems to escape people after they have just been deluged with 12" of rain. You must stay hydrated to function properly. Here in Florida, with its abundance of fresh water, staying hydrated shouldn't be a problem. I suggest every household go to Bass Pro Shop and purchase a survival straw. Any fresh water can be safely drunk using one of these amazing devices. Lakes, retention ponds, puddles, et cetera can be legitimate sources of water in an emergency. Also, buy gallon jugs of water at your local supermarket every payday to stock up. If you wait for the weatherman to tell you a storm is approaching, you're probably too late; the shelves will be empty. Fill up all bathtubs and sinks before the storm arrives. Water in the bathtubs can be used to drink from and to flush the toilet.
We all have to go to the bathroom. When the wind is howling at 70 mph outside, it's not practical to pee in your backyard. You can use a toilet when the power goes out. Just take at least a quart of water from the tub, open the lid of the tank (not the bowl), and pour it in. Remember the old axiom, "If it's brown, flush it down; if it's yellow, leave it for the other fella." I recommend having at least two buckets inside the house at all times. One bucket with a lid for poop and the other bucket for pee, just in case. Toilet paper is an essential item and should be stocked up on, just like food or water. Also, get hand sanitizer.
Make sure the ladies in the house have all the feminine products they'll need.
Tomorrow, I'll continue with the topics of health, security, and more.

Embedded in all of our days, weeks, and years are opportunities to grow deeper in faith and closer in community. And we often take advantage of this special, transitional time of the year to commit to new spiritual habits—to devote time to God and to our spiritual growth.
We have an astounding number of faith resources available in this community among our faculty, staff, students, and guests. So this year, I am launching a spiritual life podcast and blog that will make those resources more widely available across our five schools, in hopes that we can better support and connect to one another in our spiritual lives. It is my hope that the regular messages may encourage and teach you something new on your commute, afternoon walk, or lunch break.

More than 300 million mobile phones were sold worldwide during the first six months of 2004, according to Gartner Inc, a provider of research and analysis on the global information technology industry. For the whole of 2004, Gartner analysts project total sales of between 620 and 650 million mobile handsets.
Mobile handset growth in developed markets is due mainly to existing subscribers switching to newer phones that take advantage of more recent technologies — technologies that are turning "phones" into personal communications centres. In developing markets, such as the Caribbean, growth relies more on subscribers who are either new to the technology, or live in areas where mobile networks were recently introduced or opened up to competition. The most obvious result of competition has been a fall in the cost of handsets and the price of making calls.
Handset sales in the Caribbean are a tiny part of the world total, but in local terms growth during the past two years has been huge, as liberalisation of the telecommunications sector, particularly the mobile sector, has accelerated. Barbados and Jamaica have already liberalised their mobile sectors, and in mid-September the other major market in the Commonwealth Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago, announced the sale of two additional mobile operating licences. The incumbent sole provider, Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT), can expect to face competition from 2005. Many of the smaller islands of the Caribbean, from Antigua in the north to St Lucia and Grenada in the south, have already opened their mobile telecoms sectors to competition.
Barbados, where the mobile market was opened up earlier this year, is fast becoming another part of the world where people can be seen walking down the street apparently talking to themselves — using their mobile phones and earpieces while on the move. They're mobile, not crazy.
One of the Caribbean's largest and longest-established telecom companies, Cable & Wireless (C&W), which at first might be thought to fear competition, actually says it welcomes it.
"Competition stimulates demand," says David Smith, Cable & Wireless Barbados's marketing director. "From Barbados's perspective, competition has helped to drive the whole market. And competition driving growth holds for most markets." Market growth, of course, means more business (which is good for the providers), and lower prices and more services (which is good for consumers).
Apart from the benefits of mobility and additional technologies, mobile networks have an important advantage compared with fixed-line networks in regions like the Caribbean. Fixed-line phones (and other devices) are usually connected to the "telephone exchange" by overhead wires strung between poles. The poles and cables are more vulnerable than mobile networks to the kind of severe weather that sometimes affects the Caribbean. Mobile masts are fewer in number and less fragile than fixed line poles. The devastation caused this year by Hurricane Ivan in Grenada and other islands is an example. After a hurricane, telecommunications are vital to people's survival and to national recovery.
Sahra O'Neill, marketing manager at Digicel, which launched in the Caribbean in 2001 and claims it is the fastest-growing mobile operator in the region, says: "We were able to get our network up and running in Grenada within a couple of days, while the fixed-line business was still down."
But all the larger mobile operators will have to do more than service individual territories if they are to prosper. Those that wish to thrive will have to establish truly pan-Caribbean networks that open up communications across the region and with the rest of the world, either through their own networks or by roaming agreements — agreements that enable customers to use their phones when they are travelling abroad.
AT&T Wireless has been in the Caribbean for almost three years. Kim Whitehead, AT&T's general manager in Barbados, says providers must have global reach to succeed. The company, which has mobile licences in 17 Caribbean territories, has roaming agreements with 256 companies worldwide.
"We are constantly saying we want our customers to have the broadest reach possible, so wherever they go, and for whatever reason, business or work, they can stay connected."
C&W has just relaunched its mobile brand, called bmobile, across the Caribbean, and has a new brand in bmobilepulse, which will be a platform for the provision of the kinds of additional services recent technologies make possible. C&W's David Smith says bmobilepulse "is about giving our customers services that offer fun, information, and entertainment — all sorts of content they can download on their phone and use."
Mobile phones have many other capabilities that have yet to reach the Caribbean — in some markets the mobile phone can also be used to make payments or transact banking business, for instance. In time, these services will undoubtedly become available in the Caribbean.
The mobile phone has come a long way since the days when they were little more than two-way radios fitted into cars or monsters the size of briefcases. The speed with which mobile telephony has developed, and the way it has developed from a medium for transmitting speech into a fully interactive means of receiving, sending, and exchanging information of all kinds, is staggering. But we are not at the end of development by any means. The technology continues to develop rapidly. Even if consumers themselves have no interest in wireless industry acronyms such as GSM, GPRS, and EDGE, they are keen to make use of the benefits those technologies provide.
In Europe there are signs that the mobile phone and other mobile devices are replacing the fixed phone, particularly among younger people who more readily accept new technology. C&W's David Smith says that these young Europeans are "looking at the phone as their prime means of communication", and therein lies the value of the mobile phone. A fixed-line phone is just that: a phone. A mobile phone is much more than a phone (a camera, an Internet access tool, and a means of sending emails and text messages, for example), and it is always where you are.
The mobile also has business benefits, especially as competition reduces costs and the technology is able to handle information in different forms and from different sources. AT&T Wireless's Kim Whitehead says that, while there will always be lifestyles and situations that make fixed-line services necessary, there is good reason for some customers to make their mobile their main phone.
"Why shouldn't your telephone number be attached to you as a person, rather than to you as an address? Wireless allows business people to merge their personal life with their business life. Why shouldn't my children be able to reach me in the middle of the day, but at the same time I can do business when I am at home?"
When travelling, for instance, business people can use the time they spend before a flight at an airport to clear their emails or catch up with events.
"These are tremendously positive impacts," Whitehead says. "Wireless provides business tools that reduce costs and give additional reach and accessibility, because people no longer have to wait until they get back to their office
or their hotel for somebody to be able to reach them, to return phone calls or deal with their business."
Just as the railway and the motor car transformed our world, and altered the structure of our cities and landscapes, so too will the mobile phone alter the very pattern of our lives. In what way and how much things will change it is too early to say, but there is no doubt at all that mobile phones will become more and more common and more and more useful. Which is why the German name for the mobile phone, "handy", is so appropriate.

After almost five years since it was introduced at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Black Badge family has finally made its way to Malaysia. Rolls-Royce Kuala Lumpur is the only distributor in this region to have the complete line-up; made up of the Cullinan, the Wraith, the Dawn and the Ghost.
Created for a new category of Rolls-Royce clientele, the Black Badge aims to appeal to the bold and youthful, the innovators and the disruptors hence the menacing image.
"We are seeing a distinct change in the Super-luxury arena within Malaysia. Increasingly, we are welcoming younger, adventurous Rolls-Royce customers alongside our more established clientele. We have refreshed our Black Badge range for 2020, and have already seen strong interest from customers who are looking for something very contemporary and bold," said Quill Motorcars Sdn Bhd, Executive Director, Anas Zawawi Khalid.
But that's not all, each of the Rolls-Royce Black Badge models are distinguished with a few distinct features. For one, the silver badges with black details on a standard Rolls-Royce have been inverted – they now appear with a black base and silver details.
The Spirit of Ecstasy which has appeared in various forms throughout the marque's history is now presented in high gloss black chrome. For the first time, black chrome is also seen on the mascot's mounting plate.
Although Rolls-Royce expects most of its clientele to opt for the Black Badge's signature Black finish, there over 44,000 in-house colours to choose from should they decide not to. Multiple layers of the Black paint has been applied meticulously, and hand polished 10 times before a Coachline is hand-painted along the sides.
Exclusively for the Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan are 22-inch forged alloy wheels and high gloss Red brake calipers – the first ever coloured caliper in a Rolls-Royce. The Cullinan's brake bite point has been raised and pedal travel decreased, if you're interested to know.
Inside, each of the Black Badge models are presented with Technical Carbon trims, with exposed carbon fibre weaves for 3D look. Six coats of lacquer are applied on it before it's left to cure for 72 hours. All 23 pieces of these trims are then hand-polished, in a process taking 21 days!
And then you have the Starlight Headliner that's made up of 1,344 handwoven fibre optic lights to mimic the night sky. They've even got eight shooting stars that move about the headliner randomly over the front occupants – how cool is that!
If you're wondering what the "infinity symbol" represents, it's called the Lemniscate and it represents infinite power. The symbol was first seen on Sir Malcolm Campbell's record-breaking Rolls-Royce-powered Blue Bird K3 hydroplane which meant it was in a category of boats with infinite engine power.
In the Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan, an extra 29 hp and 50 Nm has been extracted from its 6.75-litre V12 engine, bringing the new total to 600 hp and 900 Nm. The Black Badge Wraith still makes 632 hp but gets an additional 50 Nm for a total of 870 Nm.
The Black Badge Ghost sees a 41 hp and 20 Nm increase, now at 611 hp and 840 Nm. Lastly, the Black Badge Dawn's figures stand at 601 hp and 840 Nm, with a 30 hp and 20 Nm increase. Prices of these Black Badge models are excluding duties and of course, Rolls-Royce's endless threshold for customisation so take a deep breath:
Black Badge Wraith – starts from RM 1.7 million
Black Badge Ghost – starts from RM 1.4 million
Black Badge Dawn – starts from RM 1.8 million
Black Badge Cullinan – starts from RM 1.7 million

Outsourcing America: What's Behind Our National Crisis and How We Can Reclaim American Jobs
By Ron Hira and Anil Hira
Amacom, 236 pages, $22
Brothers Ron Hira and Anil Hira tell readers what companies know well: Outsourcing is an ''irreversible megatrend" that is sapping the US job market and threatening the lifestyles of US professionals and workers pulled into its vortex.
The magnitude of what former presidential candidate and businessman Ross Perot famously called that ''giant sucking sound" -- the flow of US jobs overseas -- is difficult to prove due to an absence of reliable federal data. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics' attempt to track offshoring data is dismissed as unreliable by analysts on both sides of the issue.
But Ron Hira, a public policy professor at Rochester Institute of Technology who is widely recognized for his work in this area, and Anil Hira, a political scientist at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, present a clear and convincing picture.
It's not just about the unemployed, such as the former AT&T call-center workers in Fairhaven, Mass., who trained their replacements in India and backed them up on the most difficult customer calls prior to their 2004 layoffs. And it's not only about whether the most vulnerable jobs are technical or service or about the disturbing trend by companies to break down computer tasks into ''modules" -- the high-tech version of Adam Smith's division of labor -- so that lower-skilled, overseas workers can complete them efficiently.
The authors propose that offshoring explains the ''jobless recovery" early in the Bush administration and lackluster and often low-quality employment growth during the recovery. Corporate profits expanded 62 percent from the end of the 2001 recession until early 2004, they said, and labor compensation rose 2.8 percent. ''We are supposedly out of recession, but the labor market has yet to recover," they write.
The Hiras compiled a stunning chart of major corporations' employment in India alone: Cognizant 13,000;
Corporate America would like us to believe that, in the long run, offshoring is good for them and therefore good for the country. The Hiras throw those arguments out. Take one popular argument: as skilled workers overseas become more scarce their wages will rise, too, relieving downward pressure on US wages. But India and China combined crank out five times more engineering graduates every year than the United States, a seemingly endless supply.
The Hiras' last chapter has the requisite policy prescriptions, from worker protections to research support. But for those who blame offshoring for eroding US living standards, the first step is getting Congress to notice. The plight of US employees apparently isn't enough. Perhaps the disturbing future portrayed in this book will get their attention.

IOTA Foundation behind the IOTA cryptocurrency was forced to shut down its entire network following a cyber attack that resulted in the theft of funds.
Hackers have exploited a vulnerability in the official IOTA wallet to steal funds from the users. In response to the incident, the IOTA Foundation, the nonprofit organization behind the IOTA cryptocurrency, has decided to take down its entire network.
The attack took place on February 12, 2020, the incident was confirmed via Twitter by the foundation:
We are currently investigating a suspicious situation with Trinity, please do not open or use Trinity on Desktop until further notice.#IOTA #Trinitywallet— IOTA (@iotatoken) February 12, 2020
Currently, #IOTA is working with law enforcement and cybersecurity experts to investigate a coordinated attack, resulting in stolen funds. To protect users, we have paused the Coordinator and advise users not to open Trinity until further notice. Updates: https://t.co/ME3Cvki3k9— IOTA (@iotatoken) February 13, 2020The foundation also published details about the incident on its website, it explained that decided to shut down "Coordinator" node a few minutes after it became aware of the fraudulent transactions.
The Coordinator is a note of the IOTA network that is involved in the final approval of any IOTA currency transactions.
The measure was adopted to prevent hackers from stealing additional funds, according to the foundation, the perpetrator targeted high-value accounts first, before moving on to smaller accounts and then being interrupted early by the halt of the coordinator.
"The attack pattern analysis showed that the halt of the coordinator interrupted the attacker's attempts to liquidate funds on exchanges." reads the post published by the fundation. "The stolen funds have been purposely and repeatedly merged and split to obfuscate the investigation, and with the current token exchange rate as well as exchanges' KYC limits in mind. We received additional feedback from more exchanges (not all yet), confirming that none of the identified transactions has been received or liquidated."
At the time of publishing this post, the IOTA network is still down and an investigation is ongoing.
IOTA members along with external cyber security experts that have joined the investigation discovered that hackers exploited a dependency of the Trinity wallet app.
"We have found the exploit and are now working on resolving the issue. As expected, the exploit is related to the (user-facing) Trinity Wallet. The IOTA core protocol is – as already communicated before – not breached." continues the post.
The IOTA has not disclosed the total value of the stolen funds, but experts believe it could be more than $1 million worth of IOTA coins.
The post IOTA cryptocurrency shuts down entire network after a coordinated attack on its Trinity wallet appeared first on Security Affairs.

Kahuna Funding
"Capital is the lifeblood of every business!"
What could you do with extra capital in your business?
We Know What It's Like…
You feel like you are too small or new to get financing.
Your business is growing and you need a way to bridge a slow season?
Do you fear talking to a banker or answering their intimidating questions?
You've heard you need perfect credit and then you'll be personally tied to the loan.
You don't want to give away a portion of your business to someone for funding.
You don't want to deal with the hassle of seeing someone in person.
You don't know how to get past some previous bad credit history.
What If YOU Could Get Funding…
Even if you've been declined…
Without paying high credit card interest…
While building business credit
With only talking to one person minimum…
AND you could potentially be funded in 72 hours.
You're probably thinking:
I can do this myself and just go to the bank…
Yep, you might. You might also be paying more and wasting your precious time on this instead of running your business and focusing on your clients / business.
I already have a loan and was told I couldn't get another one.
Perhaps, yet you could also simply spend 1 minute to find out what you might also be able to receive. With a few more details, we can confirm your specific options. Commonly our clients are surprised to find out how much more they qualify to receive.
I get confused with all of the technical jargon.
This is common. No, you don't have to know your ratio for debt to equity and profitability ratio. Hearing that is just frustrating! Our team of experts will help you find the specific details needed to complete an application, once you get to that point. Before then, wouldn't you like to see the options available and decide if you want to continue?
I don't have time to research all of the options.
You are right, you don't. And you also shouldn't have to waste your time. Our team of experts are continually evaluating the lenders and their programs to provide only the best possible options. By simplifying the entire process, your time investment is minimal and only needed when necessary.
What might I qualify to receive?
Two of the easiest forms of funding are Unsecured Finance and Revenue Finance. The unsecured leverages your personal credit scores to estimate financing, while the revenue finance leverages your existing business revenue stream.
Simply input your information to determine what levels of funding you might be eligible to receive within these options.
Let's Talk About Simplifying
Your Bookkeeping
When you fill out the form, you'll immediately be able to
schedule time with a member of the Kahuna team to determine if our services are the right fit for your firm.
