The manuscripts of Andrew Garcia
One of Montana's most colorful characters was Andrew Garcia whose book, "Tough Trip Through Paradise," is considered a premier historical adventure story tracing his youthful travels in the late 1870s. Andrew was just 12 in 1868 when he first came to Montana from Texas. He tagged along with his uncle Albino Ortez and some cowboys driving 300 working mules to Gallatin City. Garcia's uncle had begged the youngster's parents to let him accompany the men. They never really gave permission, and Garcia later claimed that he was practically kidnapped. They did not return to Texas for two years. In 1876, 20-year-old Garcia returned to Montana.
"Tough Trip Through Paradise" traces Garcia's adventures from 1878 to 1879. During this short period, he met, married, and buried his first wife, In-who-lise, a Nez Perce woman who was killed by the Blackfeet. Years later in 1899, Garcia married Barbara Voll. They raised four sons on their remote Mineral County ranch. Barbara didn't want to hear of his earlier life, so Garcia wrote at night, after working hard all day, and hid the papers. In 1931 he wrote that hell would be popping in the Garcia family when In-who-lise appeared in print. His children and later, grandchildren, sometimes snuck the manuscript and read some of it. They would suffer beatings if they got caught because the language was very coarse and the subject matter unsuitable for children. Garcia died in 1943 at age 87, but his writings lay hidden until 1960 when a disapproving daughter-in-law, offended by the story, pushed for its sale. Ben Stein took on the project and published "Tough Trip Through Paradise" in 1967.
Ellen Baumler is an award-winning author and the interpretive historian at the Montana Historical Society.

The IDF overnight bombed one Hamas military post in a belated and tepid response to at least three shooting attacks on soldiers patrolling at the security fence.
The latest shooting occurred on Sunday when several bullet holes smashed through the windshield of an Engineer Corps vehicle in southern Gaza. The soldiers were inside the car but miraculously were not wounded. On Friday, terrorists fired at an army vehicle securing the border.
The military finally decided to retaliate in the middle of the night early Monday morning and, according to the IDF, "launched an airstrike against a terrorist infrastructure belonging to Hamas in northern Gaza."
The "retaliation" appears to be a message to Hamas that, in the words of the military, "The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm the security of IDF soldiers and the security of the citizens of Israel."
As noted here on Sunday, it is easier to stage a tit-for-tat response against rocket attacks. The Air Force's intelligence surveillance usually identifies the source of the launch and can quickly hit the area.
Shootings are a different matter, unless soldiers and return fire immediately. Since yesterday's attack was in southern Gaza and the bombing of a solitary Hamas outpost was in northern Gaza, it is clear that the "retaliation" was a message and not a "proportional response."

Lost in her memories, she didn't hear or sense Mason come up behind her until he reached around the front of her and rolled the paint roller up her shirt.
"What the …" she hollered, jumping back into him.
He wrapped his arms around her so she wouldn't fall. "I told you, just you wait and see," he whispered against her cheek.
She twisted her head to look up at him. She wasn't sure what she would have said, but before she could say anything, he kissed her. The unsaid words died on her tongue. His kiss was full of heat and need. Oh, finally . . . .
She turned in his arms, meeting his kisses with her own desire. The paint roller dropped to the floor, but neither cared. They were lost in the heat of each other. Until the doorbell rang . . . .

Suggestion (SS): 34 Classification: QUIT
PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 3-4 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high)
i already use different quit apps to manage my 9000 mac apps. i use it for edge too, but there is a problem. i can only tell quit after 10minutes, or 60 minutes or....
if now i have 40 edge profiles, i wish i could set quit after 10minutes for profile 1, 30minute for 2, never quit with profile x.... if 2 profile are active (example 10 and 30 minutes) you use 30minutes.
would be a much better way to control ram, cpu.
already macos quit app feature is HUGE limited, and apple has no idea to improve it.
maybe edge can help
another option is to only quit profiles without quit edge app or a smart way to switch profile, like keep only 1 profile each time: if i launch a new one, close the other.

i told edge devs that i will report all type of limitation and suggestions i discover during my workflows, they can keep it has idea, no need to implement all. i just write all what i discover. i know that maybe a lot average user don't need so detailed features. i still think that for edge devs is a + to hear both average and pro usage suggestions. i know that a lot of features are available via extension too. To be correct i hope that google implement such features (available via extension), edge can choose. The reason? because in edge there is still the extension box, on chrome i have the problem of max 20-25 extension on the toolbar, without any way to access all others.
At the end i lived all these years with such limitations, like i need to cohabit with all limitations inside macos. About datahoarding, probably such things are on the end of the edge list, because "no one, or only few" matter about hoarding. I give ideas, they can pick what they want.
Last time i told them too, for me the most important feature is "ability to transfer from chrome to edge". all other is secondary (except the box of 10-12 x Y extensions**). this is why i use 50+ browser, every browser has other features.
PS: i don't do it only with edge, but even with 400+ mac apps devs. obviously if i submit a list of 400+ suggestions, like i did with apple, i don't expect every suggestion is implemented. But even that 400 of 400 are not implemented too. Because i still think inside my current 200+ edge suggestions there are things other user wants too (example if you search "close to left", there are different posts).
** this is the main reason why i use edge as main browser near chrome, safari and firefox. before chrome://flags/#extensions-toolbar-menu remotion i used edge only rarely.

With the aim of bringing the "health revolution" under the auspices of the traditional medicine system AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) hospitals were established in the district, but due to the shortage of doctors and medicines, approximately 17 dispensaries have been closed in the district of Bokaro.
The dispensaries, which have been closed for the past few months, include Rajkiya Ayurvedic Aushadhalaya in Paterwar, Bermo, Gomia, Pindrajora, Chas, Koriya, Barmasia, Tupra, Saddam and Chatrochatti; Rajkiya Aushadhalaya homeopathy in Nawadih, Bhendra, Mahuatand, Bokaro Steel City and Chandankiyari while Unani Rajkiya Aushadhalaya in Kasmar and Jaridih, sources reported.
By admitting the shortage of doctors, medical personnel and medicines, the civil surgeon, Dr Ambika Prasad Mandal, said they hope the government will find a solution as soon as possible. "Shortly after the appointment of the doctors and after the availability of medicines, the health facilities would be standardized in the centres," he added.
The Ministry of Health has approved a total of 20 publications of AYUSH doctors for the district, but only one doctor is published in the District's Joint Dispensary, said CS, adding: "Absence of doctors and in the absence of medication, at least 17 dispensaries are closed for many days. "
In order to promote the Medicines Systems of India and the government of health, AYUSH hospitals are being established in all districts of the country. These systems are based on defined medical philosophies and represent a healthy way of life with established concepts on disease prevention and health promotion, said staff from the district health department. The basic approach of all these systems on health, disease and treatment is holistic. Because of this, there is a resurgence of interest in AYUSH systems, he said.
The Ministry of AYUSH was formed in November 2014 to ensure the optimal development and spread of AYUSH's health care systems. It was previously known as the Department of the Indian System of Medicine and Homeopathy (ISM & H), which was created in March 1995 and was renamed the Department of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH) in November 2003 , with special attention The development of Education and Research in Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy, said.

Update: I had added a prize to this competition, but we did not get the 20 entries
I was hoping for. Thus, the prize will be available for April's competition, with the
same conditions. Grab your camera, go out (or stay in, depending on your idea),
and shoot your submission for April
For this month only, I will personally send out a cool prize to the winner of
the assignment. What is it? It's a copy of Joe McNally's "The moment it clicks",
a great book about photography describing the stories behind some of Joe's
images. Goes for over $30 on Amazon, but you can get it for free. I will even
pay for the shipping myself, which is why I will only do this once, shipping
charges can get crazy here in Holland.
There is, however, one condition: there have to be at least 20 entries.
If there aren't, I might consider moving the prize to next month, or not offer
it anymore and keep the book for myself, not sure yet.
So, if you want a chance to win a free photography book, submit an entry to
this month's assignment themed "Growing up". You have until the end of the
month as always. Good luck!
- Bjorn
Hi everyone! Welcome to March's Photo Competition!
The theme for this month is "Growing up", as suggested by me, because I won the January 2012
competition. Be sure to read the whole post for the rules.
In my own words:
- "On March 7th, I will be celebrating my 22nd birthday. Being in my final years of university, I recognize how much has changed (and is going to change) over the past few years. You learn and do new things, give up others. The gradual transition from child to adolescent to grown-up is something worth documenting. How have you, or do you, experience(d) this process?
There are so many possibilities within this theme. You can shoot a birthday cake, photograph a kid in clothes that are too small, or in some way or another show how old parts of one's life might make way for new ones. I'm interested in seeing how you experience the process of growing up, what associations you have with it. I will have my entry up early so you can see my take on growing up.
As I said, March 7th is my birthday. It would be awesome if you could post your entry then (or a week later), so we can get several pages of submissions this month!"
The rules!
1: You can only submit one image and it MUST be taken during March 2013. Photos taken earlier will be disqualified!
2: All images submitted must be no more than 1024 pixels on their longest side, although you can include a link to a
full resolution version if you like. Flickr users must link back to the original version to comply with its latest rules.
As always, please exercise good judgement on what is suitable for the forum. Keep it clean and family-friendly or it'll
be removed. See the Forum Rules for guides.
Please include a sentence or two with your photo describing what you were trying to achieve and if there were any
particular challenges in doing so like, for example, any special exposure or lighting setup.
We're all enthusiasts here, so it's also great to see what equipment you used and the settings too. So please also
include the following:
Camera Model:
Lens and focal length:
Shutter Speed:
Post processing:
Submissions will close at midnight GMT on March 31st 2013. The final poll will follow.
Please remember this thread is for submissions only. If you'd like to comment on any of the submissions or ask any
questions, please do so in the March 2013 Comments and Questions thread!
Thanks and good luck!

For the 12th time, Rafael Nadal is the French Open men's singles champion.
The longtime Nike athlete defeated Dominic Thiem in the finals today, in a rematch of the 2018 French Open finals. It was much the same story for Nadal, who once again defeated his opponent to add to his total Roland Garros tally. This year, it took four sets (6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1).
With the win, the 33-year-old Spaniard is the first tennis player to ever win the same Slam 12 times. This is his 18th total Grand Slam title, with wins in Paris having come in 2005-2008, 2010-2014, 2017 and 2018.
Nadal won at Roland Garros for the first time at age 19 and is widely considered to be the best clay player of all time. Ranked No. 2 in the tournament behind only Novak Djokovic, he made easy work of his opponents in the earlier rounds — including a dominant semifinals win over Uniqlo-backed Roger Federer.
Each year, Nadal has worn Nike sneakers on the clay. This year, the pro sported the NikeCourt Cage 3 Glove "What The" Rafa. The shoe features visual details recalling all the past sneakers Nadal wore to claim victory in Paris. It's available to shop in limited quantities on Nike.com and in select retailers.
On the women's side, Australian Ashleigh Barty, a Fila athlete, claimed victory yesterday. It was the first major win for the 23-year-old, who broke a 46-year drought for Aussies in Paris.

Have you seen the art banners hanging in the gazebo? Clients of Community Living and Respite Services Northumberland carried out this project in celebration of the Garden's 25th anniversary.
"We delivered burlap and paints to our clients and suggested they create messages with a nature theme," says Wanda Tinney. "When the burlap frays, birds can pull off threads to make their nests and the banners will eventally disappear."
If you're visiting the Garden, drop by the gazebo to admire the full art display.

Experts have pointed out that the squatting position is more natural and can help avoid colon disease, constipation, hemorrhoids, pelvic floor issues and similar ailments. In fact in Ayurvedic traditions, elimination of poop is integral to one's well-being and the squatting position is called as 'malasana' in yoga.
People can control their defecation, to some extent, by contracting or releasing the anal sphincter. But the muscle can't maintain continence on its own. The body also relies on a bend between the rectum and the anus. When we're standing up, the extent of this bend, called the anorectal angle, is about 90 degrees, which puts upward pressure on the rectum and keeps feces inside. In a squatting posture, the bend straightens out, like a kink ringed out of a garden hose, and defecation becomes easier.
Proponents of squatting argue that conventional toilets produce an anorectal angle that's ill-suited for defecation. By squatting, they say, we can achieve 'complete evacuation' of the colon, ridding our bowels of disease-causing toxins. Squatting does provide health benefit in the form of hemorrhoid prevention.
Hemorrhoids may be brought on by pregnancy, obesity, and receiving anal sex. It affects as many as half of all Americans by age 50. But, the main cause of hemorrhoids is usually straining during bowel movement. Straining increases the pressure in your abdomen, causing the veins that line your anus to swell. In hemorrhoid patients, those veins stay swollen and sometimes bleed. In theory, squatting might stave off hemorrhoids by making defecation easier, reducing the need to strain and decreasing abdominal pressure.

There are more women than men in Brussels
The last demographic barometer points out the fact that there are more women than men in the Brussels Region
What would you bet on when it comes to the ratio between men and women in the Brussels Region?
The last demographic barometer, which was released earlier this month, provides an appropriate answer. It indeed highlights the number of women vs. the number of men. You can see that there are 4% more women than men in the region. In order to make that percentage a bit clearer, you should be aware about the total population of the Brussels-Capital region: 1.199 million inhabitants.
This global data on gender ratio is not very precise, as it reveals some differences. Both in Brussels and in Belgium in 2018, when 100 girls were born, 105 boys were born. However, there are many more women than men between 20 and 34 years-old, while the number of men is higher between 35 and 54 years-old.
But the trend again differs when it comes to the population over 55 years-old. Because of the high masculine mortality, the ratio between the number of men and women is more and more unequal. For instance, on 1 January 2018, there were twice more women than men from 85 to 89 years-old.
Although the difference between the number of women and men might be surprising to you, it's worth pointing out the fact that this difference is less and less important. Since 1989, it has decreased, as the Brussels population is younger than it was in the past.

It is also interesting to have a look at the geographical differences. Both in the city-centre and in the poor neighbourhoods in the Western part of Brussels-Capital, where the population is young, the number of men is higher than the number of women. But in the old and rich neighbourhoods (Uccle, both Woluwe, South-Ixelles etc.), the number of women is much higher than the number of men.
Here you can have a look at the report (in French).

St. Patrick's Snakes
The dark side of the Irish holiday held on March 17, St. Patrick's Day
March 17 is St. Patrick's Day, a holiday commonly thought to be a celebration of Irish heritage. But St. Patrick's day is darker than shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold, and talismans of luck. St. Patrick's Day is truly a celebration of the spread of Christianity throughout Ireland and the subjugation and conversion of the Pagan Celts. In Irish myths, it is stated that St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland and received fame from this action. Pagan author Isaac Bonewits states: "He did not banish the snakes: Ireland never had any. Scholars now consider snakes a metaphor for the serpent of paganism." These snakes are not meant to be taken in a literal sense, but instead, refer to the Pagan symbol and the Druid priests.
For modern Pagans, St. Patrick's day is not a day of celebration; they see St. Patrick as committing cultural genocide and celebrating him is like celebrating Hitler. Although St. Patrick is seen as the symbol of Ireland and the one who "Christianized" Ireland, this reputation can be seen as overrated, as the process of conversion took hundreds of years with many before and after his arrival in Ireland in 432 C.E. St. Patrick did not physically drive the Pagans from Ireland, but spread Christianity around England and helped the conversion of an entire country to new religious beliefs. In the writing of St. Patrick's life, there are many pages of him dueling Druids left and right, killing those who oppose him cruelly, but the popular knowledge is blind about him driving the Druids out, even though every other page in the writing is proclaiming it proudly.
The celebrations held on St. Patrick's day are misguided from the dark truth. So when you are dressing up on March 17 and celebrating "Irish Heritage", keep in mind those who were forced to give up their culture due to St. Patrick.

Today marks, by my calculations, day 548 of my PhD. I set myself a target to attempt to finish the thesis within three years (1096 days -- 2012 is a leap year) of the 1st of October, 2009; the length of full-time funding I receive from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. As a result, today marks the exact mid-point of that schedule.
I thought, therefore, I would give myself a motivational boost by listing how far along that trajectory I've come:
Cheers! Here's to the next 50%!

Last night, it became official: Donald Trump is now the Republican nominee for president of the United States. How did Glenn find out? Not by watching the convention.
"So is anybody watching the convention? I mean, I watched Monday, and, you know, I wanted to see Melania, and I wanted to see Rudy Giuliani and Marcus Luttrell. Last night, I had zero interest. Zero. Am I alone in that?" Glenn asked.
"Yes," Stu said.
"Yes," Jeffy said.
"Yes," Pat said.
The ayes definitely had it.
RELATED: The States That Delivered Huge, Huge Numbers for Trump Got Tremendous Convention Seats
Pat and Stu also reminded Glenn of his responsibilities.
"I mean, that's irresponsible, Glenn," Pat said.
"Jeez, you're doing a show here," Stu reminded him.
So what were Glenn's thoughts about the parts he had seen?
"I was wrong about one thing: I thought Donald Trump knew how to put on a show, and I really thought this was going to be a spectacle. And, I mean, it's Scott Baio, so it's not really a spectacle," Glenn said.
While Rudy Giuliani and Marcus Lutrell were standouts, Glenn found the other speakers, including the six Trump family members we'll hear from, a bit of a let down.
"I'm just surprised because it just seems like a lackluster kind of, you know, convention," Glenn said.
Michael Opelka, an editor for the TheBlaze and convention veteran, has been in attendance and called Glenn's radio program on Wednesday. Glenn wondered if it felt different being there in person.
"It feels like it's lacking in credibility. It feels more like an awards show. It sounds like they're using the same female voice that introduces the presenters before an Academy Awards. And so it has a strange tone to it," Michael said.
Adding to the strange tone was the list of people not in attendance.
"It really shows you what's going on here, or what's not going on. There's definitely not a stamp of approval from a lot of the mainstream GOP," Michael said.
Find out Glenn's thoughts on Chris Christie's speech and what he thinks Ted Cruz will do tonight during his speech at the Republican National Convention by listening to the clip below.

Teterboro Airport crash: 2 dead after Learjet hits building
Two crew members were killed Monday when a business jet crashed into a building near Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, investigators said.
The Learjet 35 was approaching a runway at the airport in Carlstadt when it crashed at about 3:30 p.m., according to a Federal Aviation Administration statement. Teterboro is less than 10 miles west of New York City.
There were no other passengers on board.
The plane was registered in Billings, Mont., to a company called A&C Big Sky Aviation, which has a residential address. The owners of the residence are Daniel and Julane Wells.
The plane crashed about a quarter mile from the airport in an industrial area, sparking a fire that sent thick, black smoke spewing into the air.
The airport was closed after the crash. Departing flights resumed in the evening, but no arriving flights were allowed.
Mayor Craig Lahullier said all town employees already had left for the day before the plane crashed next to its Department of Public Works building.
"I tell ya, it's a miracle," he said. "Thank God the guys were out of there, that's all I can say."
Town spokesman Joe Orlando said pieces of melted engine could be seen in the charred wreckage, along with wheels and part of the fuselage. Witnesses said they heard loud popping noises, apparently from car tires exploding in the heat and flames.
Orlando had left the public works building about 15 minutes before the plane hit. When he returned, he saw the plane's engines on the ground.
"If this had happened 20 minutes earlier, people would have been at their cars," he said. "That was the first thing I thought of: `I was just right there.' You could see the fan blades, the landing gear. Car tires were blown off."
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
The National Weather Service warned of strong winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph just before the plane went down.
A Carlstadt police spokesman said the jet appeared to be listing to its side before it went down.
Steve Case, an entrepreneur and co-founder of AOL, wrote in an Instagram post that the plane appeared to have missed a turn and crashed a few hundred yards from the airport. He was aboard another plane at the airport at the time.
The jet had flown from Teterboro to Bedford, Massachusetts, early Monday morning. It then flew to Philadelphia later Monday morning before leaving for Teterboro around 3 p.m.
Teterboro, which is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, is the oldest operating airport in the New York City area. Situated in a densely populated area just north of MetLife Stadium, where the NFL's New York Jets and New York Giants play, it is the scene of dozens of takeoffs and landings each day and is a favorite landing spot for corporate and other luxury jets.
The airport was the scene of a 2005 crash: A corporate jet failed to take off, crossed a busy highway and slammed into a warehouse. There were no fatalities, but more than 20 people suffered injuries.
In 2009, a plane taking off from Teterboro crashed into a sightseeing helicopter over the Hudson River, killing all nine people in the two aircrafts. A federal investigation later determined errors by an airport air traffic controller distracted by a personal phone call set the stage for the crash.
Fox News' Tamara Gitt and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Easements and Utility Companies
Last Updated 11/5/2019
Homeowners usually have overhead or underground powerlines that run through their property. In such cases, it usually means the utility company has an easement over the property. An easement gives the holder the right to use the property owned by someone else.
This article outlines the rights and obligations of utility companies and homeowners with respect to easements.
How Can a Utility Company Create an Easement?
Creating a utility easement requires you to follow the same procedures as creating or transferring other property interests. This means the easement will usually require a written instrument, delivery, and a valid signature. Utility easements are usually created by conveying a deed, a contract or a will.
Easements can also be created through prescriptive use. Prescriptive easements are created when someone else adversely, and without the permission of the owner, uses the land for a continuous period of time.
Utility easements are usually created at the time the property was designed. You should, therefore, check if there is an easement on your property before you purchase it.
Can You Terminate the Easement on Your Property?
You can terminate your easement in several ways. Some of them include:
- The utility company abandons the easement with no intention of coming back.
- The easement contract stipulates an expiration date for the easement.
- The utility company buys the property.
- The utility company misuses the easement.
What Can You Do If Someone Is Unlawfully Using Your Property?
If there is an easement on your property, then you cannot interfere with it unless the easement is terminated. For instance, if there is an electric line that runs through your property, you cannot take it down.
If the utility company does not have an easement and is trespassing, you can file a trespass suit. However, you should make sure the utility company does not have an implied easement or an easement by prescriptive use.
In certain situations, you may feel like the utility company is abusing its easement rights. If that is the case, you can either file for an injunction or damages.
In most cases, the abuse of an easement does not result in the easement being extinguished.

It wouldn't even be an issue if it wasn't for voicEd radio. Every now and again, Stephen Hurley and I would get into a discussion over the pronunciation of the word "meme".
He pronounces it as "meme" as in rhyming with "scheme".
I pronounce it as "meme" as in "meme".
On air, we've agreed to disagree. It was this morning when I had the news on the television and I heard an announcer pronounce it as in rhyming with "scheme". Could it be that there's more than just Stephen who got it wrong?
I decided that I probably should research this once and for all. Of course, the irony of using the internet to settle an issue about the internet wasn't lost on me.
The nice thing about the internet is that you can find a result to prove or disprove just about anything. I felt good when I found this on Wiktionary. Then, I found this. Then, this. And this. I'm thinking that year in French class really paid off.
I had a flashback We were typing using typewriters at the time. I distinctly remember our Grade 10 French teacher warning us about the death of the French language because typewriters came with English keyboards. People being lazy were just not pulling out pens or pencils to add the accents in afterwards. Or typing the original character and the stopping to backspace and then type the desired accent over top.
I felt confirmed moving to Essex County with its large French population. Even generations later, they proudly talk about their mémé as in grandmother.
Who knew that your grandmother would become an Internet thing?
Or that there might be another word that had nothing to do with your grandmother?
Of course, you could do it incorrectly.
So, I'll concede to Stephen on this one. It still sounds wrong to me but the internet is right, isn't it? The French pronunciation has just stuck with me. I guess I'll go through life either pronouncing it that way or use alternate words like "goofy thing that caught on".
At least we aren't having this discussion about GIF.

Brian is an outstanding volunteer who took it upon himself to establish a garden area at our Mirinjani Hostel. The project engaged residents and provided them an opportunity for social interaction. Brian also took the time to talk to those that he felt were at risk of self-isolating and got them involved. Brian went above and beyond his normal hours to ensure that the beds were watered, weeded and tended too, and involved a resident with a keen interest in the garden in all aspects of the project. Brian also paid for new plants to go into the garden with his own funds and made sure he was able to maintain the upkeep of the garden during COVID. Brian is still maintaining the garden beds and has made a point of involving other residents in the project, particularly focusing on a "Men's Group" style of program. Brian's efforts have resulted in beautiful garden area that can be enjoyed by everyone. The project also enabled strong friendships to be formed.

Dying Light 2 Announced, Goes Big on Player Choices
Dying Light 2 was revealed from Techland at Microsoft's E3 2018 presentation.
Dying Light 2 was revealed for the first time at Microsoft's E3 2018 presentation on June 10. Chris Avellone came on stage at the presentation to reveal a gameplay demo for the upcoming survival game.
Once again, parkour is back for Dying Light 2, but this time there's a large emphasis on choices. Your choices can change how the game fundamentally looks and plays, with entire towns being razed to the ground.
Avellone revealed that the player's choices in one scenario could drastically impact the entire way a situtation plays out in a survivalist town, in what he's calling an "entirely new genre".
We don't have a release date, or even a release window for Dying Light 2, so it's fairly safe to say it's a ways off right now.

Titles and Descriptors
On completion of the certificate stage (Stage 2) we recommend that you refer to yourself as a hypnotherapist.
On completion of the diploma stage (Stage 3) you can add the descriptor that you have additional psychotherapeutic training.
On completion of the advanced diploma course (Stage 4) and admission to the UKCP, you can use the descriptor of hypno-psychotherapist or integrative psychotherapist.
Client Groups
The NCHP trains people to work with individual adults and therefore you are not qualified to work with:
- Children (under 18)*
- Couples
- Families
*There is some limited flexibility, if for example a 17-year-old wanted help with exam nerves, you could possibly work with them subject to the requirements of the ethics code but you must always consult your supervisor before you work with anyone under 18. If you have a qualification in working with children then this flexibility is wider than if not. A boundary that must never be crossed is using psychotherapy (as opposed to hypnotherapy) with under 18s, our training does not qualify you as a child psychotherapist and the adult psychotherapy theories and techniques we teach could be damaging to children. If you wish to work with children, there is the UKCP 'child marker' and the requirements in obtaining this additional recognition can be discussed with your tutor.
Presenting Issues
Without supplemental training you are not qualified to work with:
- Clinical depression.
- Anorexia.
- Psycho-sexual disorders.
- Psychosis.
- Personality disorders.

Unless you're driving a black car (and what are the odds, Lol) it's not likely that the interior color of your daily driver comes close to matching its exterior's paint job. Back when this 1972 Cadillac Eldorado was new however, it wasn't all that unusual to see. Still Cadillac's only front-drive model, the Eldorado was powered by an 8.7L V8, which Cadillac boasted was "…the world's largest production passenger car engine." This fact was omitted as the years went on amid the OPEC-induced gas crisis. But, in 1972 Cadillac was still able to brag that the Eldorado was "…the only luxury convertible built in America." Saw this one last summer at a weekly cruise night in the parking lot of the New York Beer Project in Lockport.

A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Thursday that he is "taking time off" after twelve women accused him of inappropriate behavior, including sexual assault.
"In light of the false and misleading accusations against me and in order not to distract from the important work of the Prime Minister, I have asked to take time off to clear my name," David Keyes says in a statement. "I am fully confident that the truth will come out."
New York state senate candidate Julia Salazar publicly accused Keyes of sexually assaulting her when she was a college student in 2013. Wall Street Journal reporter Shaindy Raice subsequently tweeted that Keyes was a "predator" and that his mistreatment of women was an "open secret." The Times of Israel reported on Wednesday that 10 other women had come forward with their own stories of Keyes' alleged inappropriate behavior, including another claim of sexual assault.
The Times of Israel reported Thursday that the Prime Minister's Office did not comment about the allegations but accepted his request to take leave.
Keyes, an American-born Israeli citizen, has worked for Netanyahu since 2016.

Shemale Sex HD is one of the few shemale porn paysites included inside the All Porn Sites Pass focusing on exclusive HD shemale action. The T-babes are some of the hottest you'll find.
The transgender threesome scenes are totally nasty and involve two babes teaming up on one lucky stud. If the shemales aren't sucking cocks, then they're getting their asses fucked. If they're not receiving, then they're giving. It's explicit hardcore and comes in crisp clear videos.
The free tour is a collection of high-res screen captures. If you know your shemales, then you'll recognize some of the Brazilian pornstars such as Carla Novaes and Renato. They appear together in a tranny-lesbian duo which had me drained in minutes.
The top of the page links to the 'Features' of the site which promises daily access to 126+ sites. The site also claims that the content is exclusive and comes with 5000+ DVDs to download.
The 'NETWORK SITES' page is where you'll find many of these mentioned bonuses. Shemale Thrills is also included as well as a bunch of bi-sexual sites. There's definitely an immense amount of content, but only a small fraction of it features chicks with dicks.
Exclusive Content of Shemale Sex HD
It turns out that all the video and photo content within SHemale Sex HD is 100% exclusive as promised. But here's the bad news – there are only 28+ episodes. To make matters worse, the site hasn't updated in over a year.
As for the content, the action is spectacular. The cumshots and group scenes are incredibly hardcore. The chicks, particularly the Brazilians, are feminine and dominant.
The video quality comes in HD WMV formats to download or stream. There are MP4s too if you want the flicks on your phone or tablet. Each video comes with a picture set of crisp and clear high-res images. You can download these in zip folders instead of having to save each image individually like on some sites.
Network Of Bonus Sites
Shemale Sex HD includes full access to a ton of niche sites such as MILFs Ultra, Bit Tit Queens, and Its Live. The live site is the most unique of the bunch and offers live tranny sex chat at fixed pay-per-minute rates. There are 126+ sites in total with content overlapping on many of the sites. Most of it is non-exclusive, and only a fraction of it in HD. If you prefer quantity over quality, then you might want to read the flagship site review of All Porn Sites Pass.
Membership Price
The price is fair and comes in 3 membership options:
- 1 month for $29.95
- 6 months for $9.99/month
- 12 months for $7.50/month
- 2 day trial for $1.00 (limited access recurs at $39.99/month)
Shemale Sex HD has some incredible HD scenes worthy of any tranny porn collector. The problem is that it's too small. Because of the huge bonus network, I'd like to still recommend the site. But to be honest, there are better sites out there if you're only interested in transsexual porn.

How social is social media, really?
It's easy to blow off the impact that social media has on our lives. In the past, I've found myself thinking that I'm not addicted, or that I could not look if I didn't want to. I could quit social media altogether, but for practical reasons I can't because there are so many organizations that I am a part of that rely on social media to communicate. This is the easy thing to do: to rationalize my usage. So, is social media really a necessary part of my life?
The answer is no, probably not. If someone really needed to contact me, they could reach me through e-mail, text or a good old fashioned phone call. This campus isn't that big either: they could also just look for me in person, or drop a letter in my mailbox. Social media isn't a necessity, but is a luxury of convenience and entertainment. After coming to this conclusion, I thought about how social media is impacting my life.
I have to say, I don't always have the best self-control when it comes to social media. If I see a recipe on Facebook, I'll probably share it, even though chances are more than likely that I will never even attempt to make it. Late night tweeting of song lyrics? Yup, I do that too. I Instagram too much, Snapchat things of my life that no one probably cares about, etc. Things that we're all probably guilty of doing at some point. But besides this overzealous oversharing, I think the bigger impact on me is made by what I'm looking at. I scroll through the feeds and see other people's lives and immediately feel inadequate. Sure, I'm happy for everyone that seems happy! But there's also that part of me, that feels lesser about my own life and my own posts when I see how much shinier and brighter everyone else's seem to be. And that shouldn't be the case.
Social media is a showcase of the highlights of your life, the moments that you want everyone to see. I don't Instagram videos of me stumbling still half-asleep on Friday mornings to class in my leggings and jean jacket, yet again. And I don't post Facebook statuses of the days I feel insecure, insignificant or just plain exhausted. We want people to see our best sides, not the times that we're struggling. And even with this knowledge, I still find myself feeling that familiar sensation of envy and insecurity.
This brings me to my final point: the dissolution of sincere and authentic relationships. Now, I'm not saying that social media is directly responsible for break-ups or the ending of friendships in our world today. However, I'm definitely beginning to see at least a connection between the two. Social media allows us to hold onto our pasts, and those that are in it. We see our exes and friends from years ago, and it makes us wonder how our lives would be different if they were still in them. We see other people's relationships and lives and feel like ours could be better. Social media drives our desire for competition and to be the best. We constantly see things that we don't have, and it makes us question the decisions we've made for our lives.
And then, there's actual interaction on social media. Are these legitimate and healthy interactions? It's so much easier to take the easy way out and talk to someone online rather than in person. We hide behind the things we say online. Flirting now is deciphered through likes and friend requests and Facebook messages. Rejection seems less scary if it's faced behind a screen. But I also think that all of this digital interaction is making us miss out on the genuine human connection and interaction that we are all starving for. Nothing will ever replace being in the presence of another human being, and having a heartfelt conversation. Just you and another person, discussing ideas, hopes and fears, dreams for the future. Social media will only take us so far.

Acting sustainably means taking responsibility
The timing and current position of the two site development projects are very different – the Metalli site is now a bustling district of Zug, while the Suurstoffi site is in the midst of the construction process. However, one thing has not changed: when Zug Estates decides to develop a whole site sustainably, it makes an active commitment to the place and to the people who live and work there – and that includes assuming social responsibility.
It is nearly three decades since the first phase of the Metalli site was opened. In many respects, 1987 was a different era – life went on at a slower pace in what was still mainly the analog age. The concept of sustainability, in the sense of developing a building – or even an entire neighborhood – with a view to the long term, was unknown. With hindsight, the decision to convert the site of the Zug metal factory (which at that time was considered rather a long way out of the city despite being close to the railway station) into a vibrant district seems visionary and courageous – and it meant assuming responsibility for a place which in those days resembled the ugly duckling rather than a proud swan. After all, what has now turned out to be such a success was anything but a safe bet in the mid-1980s. Today, the Metalli site is a central location serving the city of Zug. With its excellent accessibility, the site provides work for 2 000 people and homes for 700 residents.
The thoughtful incorporation of existing buildings is essential if an area is to be developed sustainably.
Active commitment to a forward-looking society
One of the reasons why the venture succeeded and a multifaceted, lively district was created is that back then at the planning, development and construction stage, Zug Estates took account of a number of elements that we now know to be necessary if a district is to be developed sustainably. High quality urban development is a fundamental requirement of a functioning neighborhood. A balanced interplay of buildings and open space. What counts above all are good houses, built for the long term to high architectural standards and yet flexible enough to be able to respond to change. Outside spaces are just as important, and these must be designed to meet the diverse needs of the users while offering both freedom and security. Furthermore, sustainable mobility is required – with bicycles and pedestrian traffic playing key roles – as well as good public transport links, ideally complemented by car sharing schemes. Another requirement is mixed use, including homes, jobs, businesses and services – with ground floor public Areas essential to the quality of the public spaces. In addition to open structures that can respond to changing conditions, there must also be room for preservation of the area's history, since maintaining its identity is a vital part of its future. Last but not least is the commitment of the participants: developers that not only want to create neighborhoods worth living in for a long time to come, but are also ready to assume responsibility accordingly; public authorities that not only demand quality but also create the necessary conditions for it; and, ideally, users who are involved in their neighborhood.
Public areas on the ground floor are essential for the quality and usefulness of the external space.
The goal
In this respect, what applied to the Metalli site in the mid-1980s is true for the Suurstoffi site today: it is a promise to the future – not least from the property developers, which are once again taking responsibility and setting ambitious goals for the site in terms of energy consumption and environmental impact. On completion, the site in Risch Rotkreuz with above average accessibility will provide 3 000 jobs and be home to 1 500 people – all with CO2-free operation and no use of external energy sources. Nearly 1 000 people already live and work in the Suurstoffi district. We don't know what Rotkreuz will look like in 30 years time, but there's a good chance that an urban district with a great quality of life will emerge there – just as it has at the Metalli site, which is now part of Zug city center. In addition to a sustainable development strategy for creating an outstanding urban development with high-quality buildings that are at the cutting edge in terms of energy use and impact on the environment, two things in particular are needed: time and the commitment of the developers, the public authorities and the people who live and work in the neighborhood.
Whether trains or buses linked to the city Network, good public transport links are vital for future mobility.
