Some Thoughts on Capsize in the Atlantic
I am back home in Virginia Beach and working my way through the mountain of email, progressing toward normalising my work again. I have swapped the Southern Hemisphere for the Northern one, summer for winter and cruising the Brazilian Bay of Islands for a blizzard that is coming later today. What else is there to do than to dig right into the pile of work that awaited me?
A relaxed holiday on the sunny beaches, mountains and waters of Cape Town gave me time to absorb and reflect on the whole experience of turning a big boat upside down on the ocean.
Many people have said to me that it must have been a frightening experience but I didn't find it frightening at all. I remember thinking "Oh, we are upside down, was that a wave or have we lost the keel?". My next thoughts were about the safety of Sean, who was alone in the cockpit. I saw through the companionway that he was hanging on tight then my eyes and mind went back to what was happening inside the boat.
Sean says that he wasn't frightened either. The wave broke over the top of him and he was entranced by the mast spearing the water as "Black Cat" rolled over. He wondered if the mast would still be standing after she righted herself. He says "Rather a surreal experience more than frightening. BC ("Black Cat") felt safe somehow."
In contrast, Gavin had what might be considered a more normal reaction to what had happened. He got a big fright and his reaction was to move into the cockpit and stay there, where he felt safer (in the event of another capsize) and from where he was able to pump water from the bilge with the pump that is mounted in the cockpit seat. Gavin is the youngest member of the crew but has almost as many seas miles in tough conditions as the rest of us and can cope with anything that is thrown at him at sea.
I think that the big difference between Gavin's reaction and that of Sean and myself is possibly due to our different experiences in waves. Gavin is not a surfer but both Sean and I are. We have spent countless hours in breaking waves that are sometimes big and frightening. As with all things in our lives, our minds get sensitised by our experiences and it takes progressively more intense experiences to break through that sensitising and make an impression. That sensitizing helps us to keep a clear train of thought in intense situations. This situation involved being thrown around by a big wave and was less out of the ordinary for us surfers than for the non-surfers in the crew.
It was also a lot more frightening for those on land than for us on the boat. We knew exactly what our situation was but loved ones on land could only speculate. They were hearing very sketchy reports from multiple sources. They knew that we had hassles and they knew that there was a very violent storm hammering us. Their minds were having a field day imagining all sorts of things happening to us on the ocean in wild conditions. Whether or not our actual experiences surpassed their imagined ones I don't know.
A few people have asked if I would rather not have been there or if I would have preferred it to have happened to someone else. Truthfully, a definite no. I am glad to have been there and to have experienced this. I am pleased that it happened to me and not to someone else. If I could exchange what happened for anything else, it would be that we did not break the rudder and were able to continue our Cape to Rio Race as planned. But that was not to be. We did break the rudder, we did get blown back into a very violent storm, we did get turned upside down by a big breaking wave and we did all survive with minimal damage to the boat or injury to the crew.
The result is that I went through that roller-coaster washing machine and I did it with my eyes open and my analytical brain switched on. I was able to observe for myself what happens in this situation, what happens to the boat itself and to everything that is inside this kaleidoscope tube as it turns through 3D space, jumbling up crew, stores and equipment and leaving them all relocated in whatever positions gravity and rotational forces happened to have thrown them.
I consider myself, crew and boat to be fortunate to have come through as lightly as we did. I also consider myself very fortunate to now be one of what must be a very small number of boat designers who have this experience in their backgrounds, an experience that is foreverafter there to influence how and why we do what we do in every future boat that we design.
I was told a few months ago by an interior design specialist that she wanted to work with me to design interiors for my boats. She said that on boat shows and in magazines she had seen some really bad interiors and the fact that she was talking to me on this subject seemed to infer that she thought that my interiors could do with improvement. I asked what ocean sailing experience she had, which proved to be none at all. I told her that my interiors were designed to be safe for a gyrating boat on the ocean, not for boat shows or drinking cocktails on a marina. My interiors and all other aspects of my designs come from my experience at sea, gained over many thousands of miles of cruising and racing in conditions from delightful to horrendous. From now on they will also be influenced by my experience of being tossed out of control inside a capsizing boat. To see our range of boat designs, please go to http://dixdesign.com/.

Our Cape to Rio Race Wrap-up
First off I want to say thank you to all friends, family and supporters for all of the good wishes that have poured in following our experiences in the Cape to Rio Race the past few days. The five crew of "Black Cat" are all very grateful for the assistance received. As is always the case, stories have varied depending on the source and they have no doubt expanded with the telling and retelling. I will tell it from the very personal point of view of being right there in the middle of the action.
The weather briefing two days before the race start told us there there was bad weather expected and their advice was to sail due west as fast as possible to get through the system to the high that would follow. That would give us SW winds that would turn S then SE. With my navigator, Dave (Wavy) Immelman, we decided to follow that advice as the most logical route. The weatherman warned about being in the SW quadrant of the storm that would follow a day or two later.
The race got off to a good start in light breezes, the course taking us around the perimeter of Table Bay. This was a good indicator for us of our chances of placing well in the race because we were very quick, and staying in the lead group of 4 smaller boats trailing the 3 big guns that led the fleet. Our group opened up a large gap from the others behind us.
We sailed through the first night in gradually strengthening wind that gave squalls of 20-25 knots. Around daybreak the squalls started to intensify and broke through 30 knots with 18-20 knots between them. Feeling a bit over-powered in the squalls we were reefing the mainsail when a squall of somewhat over 40 knots hit us. We were now entering the SW winds behind the front, so I changed from our westerly course to a NW heading, taking pressure off the sails. Despite that, the wind over the deck increased, with gusts of over 50 knots that shredded our new carbon jib, leaving us under main only.
While changing from the #1 jib to the smaller #3, we were running before and gaining speed rapidly. Wavy was standing on the foredeck at the forestay, hauling down the tatters of the jib when we took off down a wave, accelerating to 22 knots. The waves were very short and steep and we ran straight into the back of the next wave, washing Wavy aft against the shrouds, spraining his ankle and inflating his automatic life-jacket. At the same time the tiller went sloppy in my hands. Although "Black Cat" was running fast and straight down the wave she was doing it on her own, we had no steering.
We dropped all sail and elected to sit out the worsening conditions before setting up a jury rudder to take us back to Cape Town. "Black Cat" was comfortable and in no danger. While we waited we saw the German entry "Iskareen" sail past from behind. We thought that this very fast boat was ahead of us so it came as a surprise to see them come past from well astern.
The wind and sea moderated quite quickly from that first storm and we put our minds to making a jury rudder from lazarette floor boards. Sean Collins went over onto the sugar-scoop to screw and strap it to the stub of the rudder that remained below the pintels. It worked reasonably but we treated it gingerly for fear of breaking it. We motored on a heading for Cape Town but as the day progressed the conditions slowly deteriorated as a second storm started to move in. I saw that we were not going to lay Cape Town so elected to rather head for the closer and easier Saldanha Bay.
As evening approached this storm grew progressively more violent. We were in the SW quadrant of the storm about which the weatherman had warned us. We had no desire to be in that position at that time but we had no choice in the matter. Fate had placed us there and we could only do our best to cope with the situation as it developed.
Around dusk there was a massive bang, a noise that sounded like the boat being ripped apart. Sean had shouted a warning from the cockpit that I can't repeat in present company but none of us heard it. Suddenly we were upside down and the cabin was filled with flying bodies and objects that were loose in the cabin and also those that were inside closed and latched lockers. I had been sleeping on the starboard saloon settee and had only a few seconds earlier stood up to walk aft to the cockpit. I was still in the saloon and was hit on my face and top of my head by unidentified flying debris, leaving me with minor cuts and a black eye.
The noise of this impact was so great and our up-turned position so alarming that I thought that the keel had come off. I was on the cabin roof and looked up at the bilge, all cabin soles having fallen out. I saw no gaping hole as I expected but shouted "Everybody out!!", still thinking that we had no keel. This all happened in a few seconds, then suddenly she was upright again and I knew that we still had a keel. We were left with an awful mess of food packages, cabin sole panels, tumblers, containers and anything else that managed to find its way out of its allotted place. And there was water everywhere. There had been some in the bilge but a lot more had come in through the companion hatch and a hole that we had no yet identified.
With no instruction from anyone this very capable crew automatically set about sorting out the chaos, first picking up anything that could block the bilge pumps before starting to pump out the water. The day fridge, which had been bolted into the saloon table, had relocated itself to the settee on which I had been lying only 30 seconds earlier. Three fire extinguishers, mounted in brackets from which they are removed vertically, all fell out when we were inverted and flew across to the starboard side of the cabin. Only two of the five onboard were in steel straps with locking mechanisms that held them firmly in place, the other three fell out and became lethal missiles.
Next we discovered what the hole was that had appeared in the deck. During the inversion process the tail of the mainsheet went over the side and attached itself to the propeller and wound itself up to the point that it stopped the diesel motor. It had so much tension in it that the force downward on the upper guardrail wire punched the nearest stanchion through the 12mm plywood deck. That left a hole about 75mm diameter into the locker below, where my clothes were. From there the water spread itself all over the starboard aft cabin, soaking everything that Wavy and I had in that cabin. That was all of our clothes, bedding, camera bags etc.
Of more consequence, the volume of water that came into the boat spread itself over the chart table, the lid of which had ripped right off, and into the electrical panel and electronics. The two satellite phones and main VHF radio were drowned, leaving us with only a hand-held VHF of limited range with which to communicate. Smelling smoke, Wavy opened the electrical panel to see smoke coming out but it didn't develop into a fire.
Time stands still in these situations. I have no idea how long it took us to clean up the boat but she was back to a semblance of ship-shape before too long. The hole in the deck was plugged as well as possible with some muti that we had brought onboard the day before the race start.
In the midst of all this Sean came down from the cockpit and described what had happened. From inside the boat we had no idea, it was just massive noise and upside-downness.
Sean, a surfer like me, says that he suddenly felt the same feeling as when caught inside the impact zone of a big surf break, where you have no way of escaping the beating that is about to be dealt to you and you just have to take it on the head and cope with it. He did not see the wave coming but became aware of it as it loomed over the boat. It was very large and broke as a hollow tubing wave completely enveloping "Black Cat". She rose up the face of the wave, rotating as she rose until she was hanging from the roof of the tube. Then she fell or was thrown down the face of the wave with the mast going in first. The crash that I heard inside the boat must have been the cabin and deck hitting the water. While this was happening I also looked into the cockpit for Sean and he was hanging from a winch or whatever he had been able to grab as the wave reared up. I required that all crew be hooked on with safety harnesses before going on deck but Sean was hanging on so tight that his harness had no work to do.
This wave was much bigger and more violent than any others we had felt or seen. If that one could clobber us there may also be others, so we streamed warps from the bow and deployed the storm jib as a sea anchor to try to hold her bow-on to the waves. These did not seem to help much because the underwater current seemed to be pretty much the same speed as our drift. We didn't get her to lie more than about 20-25 degrees from broadside-on to the waves but it seemed to be enough to ease the motion a bit and cause other breaking waves to roll past the port quarter instead of hitting us amidships.
The worsening storm and loss of major communications prompted us to ask Cape Town Radio to put out a Pan-Pan message on our behalf to warn of our location in the shipping lane and to ask for the NSRI (National Sea Rescue Institute) to be called to our assistance. We advised that we were in no immediate danger but would appreciate assistance when it could be provided. We switched on the EPIRB to give a signal for rescue services to home in on. We had AIS onboard but it had flooded along with the other instruments at the nav table.
Initially the assistance came in the form of the fishing vessel "Miriam Makeba" heading our way. When they were still a few miles away the navy frigate SAS Isandlwana took over control of the widespread rescue efforts and released the fishing vessel to continue fishing. As the frigate approached in the rain they asked us to send up a flare, then another, to help them to locate us. Once they had located us we confirmed that we were in no immediate danger and they headed off to take care of people and boats that were in much more serious situations.
In the morning conditions again subsided. Wavy went over the side in his diving gear to free the mainsheet from the prop, which allowed us to restart the motor. At the same time he swam the length of the underbody to check for damage or other problems. A new and improved version of the jury rudder was fabricated from more plywood cannibalised from the lazarette and we continued on our journey toward Saldanha Bay at 4-5 knots under our own power. We were well set to reach there during the night.
Early afternoon the NSRI Rescue 3 arrived from Cape Town. They offered us the choice of continuing under our own steam to Saldanha Bay or accepting their tow back to Cape Town. Proceeding to Saldanha Bay presented logistical problems for crew and boat, so we took the tow and headed for Cape Town at 10 knots.
Manoeuvring into the RCYC basin proved to be more difficult than anticipated because the jury rudder boards added to the starboard side of the rudder severely limited rudder movement in that direction. Add a pomping SE gale and we sorely needed the welcoming hands on the dock to catch us as we came in at rather high speed and with negligible control.
Now "Black Cat" is safely back in port but she has some more patching to be done to her. This is for the hole in the deck from the stanchion and for the spot where her bow kissed the marina rather harder than necessary on our return.
My big question out of all of this was "Why did the rudder break?". It had a solid Iroko spine nearly 100mm thick and 150mm wide, extending top to bottom, with plywood fairing to leading and trailing edges. That is a massive piece of timber that can easily support a large car and really should not have been broken by a 22 knot surf. The answer came from the owner, Adrian Pearson. He told me that when "Black Cat" was squeezed between the steel RCYC marinas a few weeks ago when the mooring chains broke, it was not only the hull and keel that were damaged. He said that the rudder was also "graunched". If that is so, it may have started a fracture of the rudder spine that culminated in the blade shearing off at high speed.
We are all very disappointed that our race had to end this way. We were going so well and must have been in with a reasonable chance for a top result. Unfortunately, we will now never know. We are just glad to be back on land safely and are very grateful to NSRI and the crew of Rescue 3 for their part in it, as well as the "Miriam Makeba" and SAS Isandlwana.
I also want to thank the crew of "Black Cat" for being such great and capable shipmates, always ready to do the right thing and with a smile.

And a big thank you must also go to our Didi 38 "Black Cat". She took a hammering on our behalf and came through with negligible structural damage. Posted by
Cape to Rio Race Starts Tomorrow
It has been a long slog to get here and, strange as it may seem, even now I am not sure where "here" is. We need to be on the start line in Table Bay at 14h00 South African Time (UTC+2) and have been working toward that goal for a year. Now that we are almost there time-wise, we have had all sorts of issues popping up to try to trip us and prevent our participation. Each time that we side-step an issue, another appears in its place.These are not problems that are directly related to the boat, neither are they related to most of the crew. I can't say what they are but they have been a major distraction in our preparations, detouring our efforts and moving our focus from much needed work into stuff that really should not be on our minds at this stage of preparations. These issues sap energy and drain enthusiasm. It takes effort to maintain optimism, which is normally self-fortifying. We expect to be on the start line tomorrow and will be deeply disappointed if we should be prevented from going. Only time will tell whether or not we will be there. Watch for the yellow boat if you are able to watch it live, or maybe recorded live (whatever that means).From here on I will not be posting on this blog live until after the race is over and I return to USA. I will be sending email updates to my wife, Dehlia. She will be posting on the blog but it will probably be without photos. Our Internet connections via satellite phone will be too slow to transfer photo files. If we have something really special to show then we may make an exception.So please follow us via the tracking link on the race website at http://cape2rio2014.com.

Didi 950 Build Started
Michael Vermeersch of Ohio commissioned the Didi 950 design and has now started construction of his boat. He is building from a pre-cut plywood kit that was supplied by Chesapeake Light Craft in Annapolis. The kit arrived as 61 sheets of plywood with all components accurately cut by CNC router and packed on 2 pallets.
Michael reports that he is progressing well with the assembly of the backbone and bulkheads and that everything is fitting together beautifully. A few more bulkheads to go, then he will be ready to start setting up on the building stocks.
Michael with wife Pat & daughter Catherine.
Since adding this design to our stock design list, another three boats have been started. They are in Australia, Greece and Latvia.
The Didi 950 is drawn to the Class 950 Rule and detailed for building by the radius chine plywood construction method. It can be built from plans only or from a kit. Kits are currently available in USA but can be supplied by most of our international kit suppliers as well. Enquire with the supplier in your area and I will send the files to them for pricing. Note that for USA you must order from us, you cannot order it directly from Chesapeake Light Craft.

Australian shares rise on hopes for quick economic recovery - The Economic Times
Business News›Markets›Stocks›News›Australian shares rise on hopes for quick economic recovery
The S&P/ASX 200 index rose 0.83 per cent to 5,991.8 points at the close of trade.
Last Updated: Jun 17, 2020, 01.40 PM IST
US retail sales rebounded sharply in May after two months of declines, spurring hopes that the virus-induced recession may be drawing to an end.
Australian shares advanced on Wednesday as hopes for a swift global economic recovery rose after a record jump in US retail sales, although fears of a second wave of coroanvirus cases capped gains.
The S&P/ASX 200 index rose 0.83 per cent to 5,991.8 points at the close of trade. The benchmark rose 3.9 per cent on Tuesday.
The optimism, however, was crimped by a resurgence in coronavirus cases as Beijing cut flights and closed schools in a bid to contain another outbreak, while new infections hit record highs in six US states.
Australia also said it will continue restrictions on its international borders for "some time to come".
"Even as the COVID-19 cases continue to be noted across the world, the sentiment is suggesting that expectations remain for continued recovery particularly judging the fact that governments may be unwilling to see to an expansive lockdown once again," Jingyi Pan, market strategist at IG, said.
Leading the gains in Australia, tech stocks jumped to their highest level since February 19 after Wall Street peers rallied overnight.
Shares of WiseTech Global Ltd rose 5.88 per cent, while Computershare Ltd gained 4.34 per cent.
However, material stocks slipped 0.9 per cent, with global miners BHP Group and Rio Tinto Ltd losing 0.7 per cent each.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 3.5 per cent to finish the session at 11,334.31.
The country on Wednesday formally launched talks on free trade agreements with Britain, which is looking to line up post-Brexit trade deals with other countries.
Top percentage gainers on the benchmark were A2 Milk Company Ltd, up 7.23 per cent, followed by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Ltd, gaining 6.24 per cent.

Archives	The Truth about Lawyers	Those of you reading this article looking for the latest lawyer joke will likely be let down in the text that follows. This part is not meant to be yet one more bashing gathering directed at the legal professional, but rather to give you firm information on how to avoid the common mistakes that even the brightest and most tested executives make in attempting to successfully work with and manage attorneys.
I grew up in a legal family, have been a managing director of a law firm, recruited and managed legal staffs as a C-suite executive and have dealt with many an outside counsel as an industrialist. I have both sued and been sued, and suffice it to say I know the good, the bad and the ugly about the legal profession.
As with any other profession there are excellent practitioners, center of the road journeyman, well anticipated light-weights who try hard but consistently find themselves in over their heads, brilliant academics with no practical experience or common sense, and yes, there are a few rouges and scoundrels as well.
The reality is that most people that have an unhelpful experience with the judicial system blame the lawyer. If the applicant or the defendant doesn’t achieve the expected outcome it must be the attorney’s fault. It is this author’s humble opinion that the truth about lawyers is that most people honestly get what they justify. However if you adhere to the following best practices when entering into and managing an attorney client relationship you will fare better than most.
1. Hire the best legal advice you can afford, not the cheapest you can find. As with any profession there is value in experience and knowledge as well as an aggressive advantage to be gained with talent, reputation and relations. Never vacillate to get a second opinion as there are very few stock answers to a legal issue.
2. A lawyer is no different than any other dealer or supplier and they should be put through the same level of inspection (in my opinion a higher level of inquiry) as anyone else in your supply chain. I adopted the practice quite some time ago of putting my legal work out to bid through a managed request for qualifications (RFQ) and request for proposal (RFP) process. I assess my needs, identify my requirements and seek to find the best representation possible by having attorneys contend for my business on my terms.
3. Common direction is fine, but only if they are managing the right expert. A generalist cobbling collectively documents by pulling a template down from a Westlaw search is a far cry from having true subject matter expertise. All attorneys are not created equal. Hire the right lawyer at the right time for the right reason.
4. Along the lines of number three on top of, a smart attorney doesn’t of necessity translate into a good attorney. Most lawyers don’t graduate from law school with any formal business training and fewer have any real world business experience upon graduation. It is imperative that you select guidance that is not only a subject matter expert in his/her practice area, but that also has very sound business sharpness. If an attorney is not fluent in my business they won’t be retained by me to represent my business…end of story.
5. The best way to manage your legal risk is to be practical not hasty. Assess your legal risks and take destructive and upbeat events to mitigate said risks. I developed the shortest legal mission statement on record and require any attorney who represents me to use it to as their operating mantra; it simply states: “foresee and padding”. The best defense is a great offense when it comes to legal work.

Giant M1 resonance in Sn120 and the quenching of the nucleon spin g factors — Arizona State University
Giant M1 resonance in Sn120 and the quenching of the nucleon spin g factors
Ricardo Alarcon, R. M. Laszewski, D. S. Dale
The distribution of magnetic dipole transition strength in Sn120 has been measured at excitations between 7.3 and 9.3 MeV using highly polarized tagged photons. A total M1 strength of eV corresponding to B(M1)=8.8-0.9+1.102 was found to be more or less uniformly distributed throughout the region. This result and previous polarized photon measurements in Zr90 and the Pb nuclei present a consistent picture of M1 strengths in closed-shell nuclei in terms of the required normalization for the spin nucleon g factors. Normalizations with respect to the bare nucleon values are 0.680.02 and 0.640.03 for the proton and neutron spin g factors, respectively.

A Bear case | ducati998
The Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision-model places more weight on inflation than financial market risks. Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen was wrong not to raise rates in 2013 to brake high-risk consumer and corporate debt and the stock market bubble. On the other hand she was right not to raise interest rates this March, as this reduced the risk of an international currency crisis, even if that was not the main goal.
To be sure, the U.S. dollar DXY, -0.02% is strong and the U.S. economy is growing. But in a global economy, no country — even the U.S. — is immune from its trading partners. In a trade war, it will not take long before the U.S. financial markets are negatively impacted. The majority of the S&P 500 SPX, -0.10% companies generate substantial export revenues; accordingly, U.S. stocks and the economy cannot escape a hit for long.

Will | Advance Wars Wiki | Fandom
Commanding Officers, 12th Battalion COs, Advance Wars DoR COs
Direct-Attack Ground Units
12th Battalion, Rubinelle (Formerly)
Brenner, Isabella
The Beast, Greyfield, Caulder
Will (Known as Ed in the Japanese and European versions, full name William) is a CO of the 12th Battalion and the main character of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. The game begins with Will talking to himself after the apocalyptic event that was the meteor shower that hit the Earth, an event which began the series of events that panned the game.
After the meteor shower, Will found himself in the ruins of the Military Academy he had previously attended. After searching around in the rubble, he soon discovered that all his former teachers and classmates were dead and for the most part, buried among the ruins surrounding him, and also found out later that his parents were dead. He survived for weeks without food, wondering if he were the only one alive.
Not long after finding himself in that nightmare, Will was attacked by a small bandit group led by The Beast, who, to his surprise, also survived the meteor shower. It was then that Captain Brenner and Lin found him and protected him. He fled to safety before they finished the battle. After saving Will, he was accepted into their company, a small group of former soldiers who were searching for survivors.
Will grew attached to Brenner, who never gave up. Brenner told Will, "As long as there's life, there's hope." And in that, he started to help with finding survivors. During a battle, he found a girl buried in ruins with no memory of her past. He told her it was going to be all right, and from that on, she believed him, just as a newborn chick followed its mother. Will introduced her to Brenner and Lin, quickly filling in that she had lost her memory. Since she did not remember her name, Will named her Isabella, after the flower Cattleya Isabella. Isabella at first wanted to be named Cattleya, but Will suggested Isabella instead, and she loved it.
Brenner tried to let Will and Isabella stay in town, with the other civillians. The mayor denied, saying there were too many people already. Will didn't want to go either, so Brenner had to let them stay.
Soon afterwards, Isabella was diagnosed with Creeping Derengea, which scared Will off and caused him to run from her. He apologized, but he wasn't allowed to see her if and until she was cured. Isabella knew military information, which at first troubled everyone, but it was a big help to everyone when she told them of a base where they could hide out in for a while. She was cured quickly after being there.
After Brenner's death, Will was devastated. Again, Isabella helped him get out of a tough situation. She told him that him being sad made her sad, and she wanted to be happy. It put him in the right place and made everything clear to him again, as when Brenner saved him, he knew he had to repay the debt, making things clear for his future. Lin appointed him as "Commander", or so the others believed. She was truly Commander, but she didn't need any more trouble for that than what had already been caused.
Will remains the main character for the entire game, traveling with the company while facing the bandits, the remnants of the Lazurian Army, the New Rubinelle Army led by Greyfield, and later Caulder.
Will is very strong-willed person, he greatly idolizes Captain Brenner who saved his life after the meteor shower occurred. He aspires to be like Captain Brenner by saving people and he adopts Brenner's motto as his own upon Brenner's death: "Where there is life, there is hope."
Will is also a very straight forward person, and very stubborn. He often charges right into conflict without consideration, although he is often burdened with any resulting failures. He has very strong moral convictions, which Caulder says 'were imposed on him by Brenner' but Will responded to that that was fine by him. These moral convictions make him value life greatly.
Will also, over the course of the game develops feelings for Isabella, who it is later revealed is a female clone of Caulder. Will looks past this fact however, saying that 'it is not how you are born that defines who you are.' At one point in the game Will sets out, alone, to rescue Isabella, and upon finding her she expresses her desire to 'live with him forever'. This desire is revisited in the ending scenes of the game a few times as well.
Will is a young man, seemingly in his late teens, with mid-length brown hair and defined eyelashes. He dresses in a Rubinellan military cadet uniform similar to Brenner's, save for that his jacket is open and he has the addition of a blue tie and red fingerless gloves. He also wears a white t-shirt with navy blue trim under his jacket. It is not known or ever mentioned whether or not this is standard military issue.
His CO zone gives his Direct Attack ground units two stars worth of attack bonus while in his CO Zone. This includes foot soldiers and bikes. His special CO power gives all direct attack ground units an extra two spaces of movement while it is active.
While using Will focus on building plenty of mechs and even more when your meter is full. Will's anti-air uni
ts will tear through foot soldiers serving as shields while his tanks will tear through indirect-attack units. When Will's COP is ready his mechs no longer have to fear enemy artillery as their movement will increase to 4.

Posted on March 6, 2013 by tenoutfits
I am fortunate to know many young talented ladies who are photographers, hairstylists, makeup artists, and models here in Tucson and Phoenix. We get together from time to time with enthusiasm, energy, creativity and hope that this photo shoot will be the one! You know…………………….. the Italian Vogue spread.
Stephanie Lew- Photographer
Brittney Christie- Photographer
Mayra Gomez- Makeup Artist
Khara Williams- Makeup Artist
Steve Negri- Assistant
I am the stylist most of the time, I have also been the make up artist , and my favorite photo shoots are shot at our house. I like to provide a warm home when everyone comes together- healthy food, and snacks, beverages and espresso. We all need espresso for these long days- Usually 6-8 hours of shooting. Let’s also add in 2-3 hours of cleaning the house, and backyard prior to the shoot. My husband is always kind to help out with all the cleaning and backyard . I also spend 2-3 hours pulling clothes and props from my private collection to create the “look” of the shoot. I love doing this kind of work, it keeps my creative juices flowing.
Below are some of my favorite photo shoots that were shot at our house .
Antonia Kastilahn: She was the very first photo shoot I was part of. Stephanie Lew was the amazing photographer, Khara Williams was the MUA, Mayra Gomez the HairStylist. I was the Stylist .
Katie Reed: Super fun day with Katie, same crew as above.
Mr. and Mrs. Negri: Yes that’s us! We hadn’t had any professional pics of us since we were married so we thought it was about time . Brittney Christie was the Photographer and I styled myself and Steve.
Tristin Crenshaw: Great model for never modelling before. What a natural! Stephanie Lew and Monica Negri Photographers, Makeup and Styling :Monica Negri
Michelle Meyer Nuriddin: Another great model for never modelling before. Same credits as above

A Different World in all views!: Happy Birthday!!
Today, November 15th 2004, is my 20th Birthday! YEA! I can't believe it, it seems like only yesterday that I was playing video games and watching Care Bears (Oh wait that WAS yesterday:-)). I do believe I have run out of 1s and now I am starting on the 2s, well at least it is not the terrible ones. Hope not anyway! Well here is a little attachment yahoo sent me on my birthday and I thought some people may fine this of interest.
On Nov. 15, 1777, the Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation, a precursor to the Constitution of the United States. On this date:
Ten years ago: The Federal Reserve (news - web sites) increased key interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point, the largest hike in 13 years. The 18-member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (news - web sites) group concluded a two-day summit in Indonesia by adopting a sweeping resolution to remove trade and investment barriers in the region by 2020.
Five years ago: The Clinton administration claimed victory in a seven-year struggle to persuade Congress to pay nearly $1 billion dollars in back dues to the United Nations (news - web sites), saying restrictions in the deal on backing for international family planning would have no practical effect. Chinese and U.S. negotiators reached a breakthrough agreement to remove trade barriers, clearing the biggest hurdle to China's entry into the World Trade Organization (news - web sites).
One year ago: Two Black Hawk helicopters collided and crashed in Iraq; 17 U.S. troops were killed. Two synagogues were bombed in Istanbul; 29 people were killed. A gangway on the cruise ship Queen Mary II collapsed in St. Nazaire, France, killing 15 people. Democrat Kathleen Blanco was elected the first female governor of Louisiana, defeating Republican Bobby Jindal in a runoff contest. Death claimed billionaire Laurence Tisch at age 80 and actress Dorothy Loudon at age 70. Today's Birthdays

a photo a day - photos by Donald Kinney: Hey folks, I'm on vacation! See you on the 17th.
As you may know, my little lover, Kitty, passed away 2 or 3 months ago, and although I've had to deal with death in my family before, Kitty's passing has been an exceptionally difficult pill to swallow. But now, without "daddy" duties that have kept me close to home I am able to roam--and it's been years since I've actually travelled any distance--so I'm taking off. I think I'll visit part of the Gold Rush Country first, but then head over to eastern California to the old ghost town of Bodie, then do a whole lot of spooking and snooping around in the Owens Valley, Death Valley, the Mojave Desert, and where ever else strikes my fancy. click photo for slightly larger image
My greatest fear is that during this break you are going to forget about this humble blog, so PLEASE make a note to come back on October 17 and find out what kind of trouble I managed to get into on my adventure. And during that time, if so inspired, please feel free to fall-by my NEWLY REVISED website and see the changes I've just finished making. What I've been calling my "big" site has been substantially downsized and refined. I've reduced the number of sets from 30 to 20, and now each set only has 15 images--not multiple pages. The process of paring down the images was painful but I think Photoarrow.com is now edited down to a much more digestible form.

You will be in about my favorite area of California...the eastern side of the Sierra. I look forward to the images you bring home. Have a great time and many happy miles.
Awww... there was no need to pare down!! :)You enjoy your well deserved vacation and don't worry, we'll still be around when you get back.
No worries I won't forget! Have fun on your vacation it's well deserved!
I just love all the places you are going to wander about. Enjoy every minute and you should know you won't be forgotten.Can't wait to see your beauties when you return.
What a nice tribute to a beautiful kitty and loved companion. Enjoy your travels where ever they take you.

NFL notebook: Eagles hand extensions to Pederson, Roseman - Reuters
August 6, 2018 / 3:26 AM / a year ago
NFL notebook: Eagles hand extensions to Pederson, Roseman
The reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off winning the franchise’s first Super Bowl in February, extended the contracts of head coach Doug Pederson and executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman through the 2022 season, the team announced Sunday.
FILE PHOTO: Jul 26, 2018; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson speaks at the podium after a practice during training camp at NovaCare Complex. Mandatory Credit: James Lang-USA TODAY Sports
The duo of Pederson, 50, and Roseman, 43, steered the Eagles to a stunning 41-33 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII to cap a dream season.
After going 7-9 in his first season in Philadelphia with then-rookie quarterback Carson Wentz at the helm, Pederson led the Eagles to an NFC-best 13-3 mark last season — overcoming season-ending injuries to many key players, including Wentz, to win the Eagles’ first NFL championship since 1960.
Roseman began with the Eagles as an intern in 2000 as an intern but enjoyed a rapid ascent that saw him as a surprise pick as the team’s general manager 10 years later.
—Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari is expected to be ready for the season opener after initial tests revealed he suffered an ankle sprain during practice on Saturday night, according to an NFL Network report.
Bakhtiari was carted to the locker room after injuring his left ankle during the Packers’ prime-time Family Night practice at Lambeau Field.
Bakhtiari limped off the field under his own power, walked briefly on the sideline and then returned to the bench and took off his shoe. He then got on a cart and was taken inside the stadium to the training room.
—The Buffalo Bills acquired wide receiver Corey Coleman from the Cleveland Browns for an undisclosed future draft pick on Sunday, the Bills announced on their Twitter feed.
According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, the pick the Browns are getting is in the late rounds.
Coleman was viewed as the likely No. 3 receiver in Cleveland. A first-round draft pick in 2016 (No. 15 overall), he has 56 catches for 718 yards and five touchdowns in 19 games over two NFL seasons.
—While troubled wide receiver Josh Gordon continues to be absent from Browns training camp, the team seemingly remains in his corner.
One such piece of evidence: the Browns are reportedly working with the NFL to prevent Gordon from losing eligibility for an accrued season which could damage his future free agent status.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, while an NFL source says that Gordon is “getting closer” to joining his Browns teammates at training camp, he will not arrive by a Tuesday NFL deadline regarding free agency accrual.
—Richard Sherman’s debut in San Francisco has apparently been rescheduled.
The outspoken veteran cornerback injured his hamstring at the team’s Friday practice and he will sit out this week’s scheduled practices as well as the 49ers’ preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys, NBC Sports Bay Area reported.
Per the report, Sherman intends to “progress back” later next week in hopes of making his first in-game appearance with the 49ers in the team’s second preseason game on Aug. 18 at Houston.
—Indianapolis Colts starting left tackle Anthony Castonzo reinjured his hamstring two days after being activated for training camp, the Indianapolis Star reported.
Castonzo’s injury reportedly happened Friday and head coach Frank Reich told reporters Sunday that the 6-foot-7, 300-plus pounder “will miss a little bit of time.” However, per the Star’s report, the eight-year veteran is expected to be ready for the season opener at home against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 9.
—The Eagles brought back a piece of their championship team, re-signing safety Corey Graham to a one-year deal.
Graham, a veteran entering his 12th year, finished with 32 tackles, two interceptions and four pass breakups last season after joining the Eagles in training camp.
—After Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin ripped his former teammate, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, in an interview earlier this weekend, several people responded, including Newton himself. However, the strongest words came from Benjamin’s current head coach, Sean McDermott.
The Bills coach told ESPN of Benjamin’s comments. “I’ve spoken with Kelvin, and that’s not how I want us to handle things like that.” Newton said on Instagram, “I ain’t going to go back and forth with him.”

Queens Student, Shanelle Davis, Becomes School's First African-American Valedictorian | HuffPost

Queens Student, Shanelle Davis, Becomes School's First African-American Valedictorian
Courtesy Milken Family Foundation
It's one thing to read about black history in high school, it's a whole other thing to become black history at your very own high school, and that's just what one student has done.
Shanelle Davis was announced the 2014 class valedictorian out of the 845 students in the graduating class at Benjamin Cardozo High School. She’s made history as the first African-American to do so at the Bayside, New York school.
The teen, who lives in Queens, was surprised to hear the good news when the class rankings came out and the administration told her that a black student had never been first in their class at the school before.
“It’s an incredible honor. It’s still surreal to me.”
Davis' story is the latest among a number of inspiring stories about students who have defied odds and managed to achieve similar feats.
The Milken Scholar will not only be the first in her family to attend a four-year university, she has also accepted a full ride to Harvard University. Davis hopes to inspire future African-American seniors at her school to add more black students' names to the list.
“I can be an example for them... So maybe next year they’ll have another African-American one.”

Comfortable family home near Porth beach - Häuser zur Miete in Cornwall, England, Vereinigtes Königreich
Comfortable family home near Porth beach
Light and spacious family home, just a short stroll from beautiful Porth beach on a very quiet residential street with off-road parking. Close to Newquay airport, numerous amazing beaches, coastal paths and beautiful Cornish countryside. Shops, pub and restaurants all within walking distance.
A great property in every way. Perfect amenities, location and cleanliness. We had an amazing time and our three children really loved the house as it was very cosy and close to the beach, town, restaurants and cafes. We all want to go back again when we get chance!
That’s great to hear you had a good time! Thank you.
Beautiful home in perfect surroundings easy access to beach and local amenities. Great for families with young children.
This is an ideal holiday home for a family with young child/ren. Well equipped with a nice garden and a play area a short distance away behind the house. The nearby beach is lovely and very child friendly. A nice walk from the house taking about 10 - 15 mins with a little one -…
So pleased you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Julia’s house is the perfect place to stay if you have a young family. The open plan living room and kitchen area mean you can always keep an eye on little ones! As Julia’s son is a similar age to mine we were able to use his cot, change area, high chair etc all the things you do…
Superbly clean and comfortable. Our children loved the park which was not far from the property. Lovely garden and a good child friendly house.
Julia's place is very clean and welcoming. The house is nice and light with a lovely back yard and off street parking. We enjoyed our stay.
Thank you for your lovely review and for leaving the pretty flowers! It’s so tricky to avoid plastic packaging- luckily most of it can be recycled here now. Have a great rest of your trip!
Julia's house is lovely.. clean, cosy, and the in the perfect location for our event in Newquay. We wish we'd had time to use the lovely garden. Would recommend to everyone wanting to be near newquay, that prefer the quieter side of life.

Fix the bug!!!!
I’ve been listening to the WSJ in the morning on audible for some ten years now and it’s a great way to start the morning. But, for the last seven months or so, there has been a bug that you can’t directly open it from the library or by clicking on previous listens, it always just like fails and crashes. The only way I can run it is to search for the “the wall” and then click on the result that comes up. I have friends with audible subscriptions who can’t listen to it at all.
Audible: FIX THE WSJ JOURNAL LAUNCH BUG!
Actual news. I will be listening to this every day. Appreciate it is free. Brief, easy to listen to while doing morning get ready chores. WSJ reports information on worthwhile things, not opinions, ads, or silly, fluff news
