This week I thought I'd talk about a few of my favorite sword-related movies. Obviously I'm a movie lover, but I go to the movies to be entertained or moved, and one of the things that always gets me excited is the prospect of a good sword fight. Choreography, pacing, and witty banter are the hallmarks of a great sword fight on screen, and these are a few of my favorites.
The duel between Inigo and the Man in Black (Westley as the Dread Pirate Roberts) has to be my favorite sword battle of all time. Nowhere else do you get that type of swagger, sarcasm, and skill all rolled into a single scene.
Though I love Highlander (1987), I have to say that its duels are less individualized than some of the other movies listed here, but it's still a great movie with some solid sword fights.
I'll leave you with a compilation of some of the scenes from his movies.
ITwo great movies indeed. Yee haw!
I agree with Dragon Blogger on Kull. Guilty pleasure movie all the way and had some decent duel scenes.
I am however surprised not to see Christopher Lee on here anywhere. That man has logged more hours on film dueling than any one history I believe.
Oh and I also have not seen First Knight because there is no way you can have a movie where Richard Gere takes a woman from Sean Connery. Sorry but it would never happen.

Suppose you are browsing through an e-commerce site looking for books. You come across a collection of classics by Charles Dickens you always wanted to buy. But then you remember that you have already bought a lot of books for this current month, so it would be better to buy the Charles Dickens books next month. So you just add it to your cart and leave the site. And then when you go on Instagram and are scrolling through it in your leisure, an ad about that very Charles Dickens collection pops up in your feed.
Your interest in the product (books) is taken as a lead and later shown to you as a reminder to convert it into a sale. That is the main motivation behind re-targeting of ads.
What is Re-targeting of Ads?
To put it in the most simple of terms, re-targeting is a technique through which ads follow an user across the internet after an user has clicked on or purchased a particular product. The main aim behind this is to convert a lead into a successful sale by examining consumer activity and personalizing the ads that a consumer sees. I would like to cite a small fact here for your better understanding, only about 2% of web searches get converted to a successful sale in the first go.
When we visit a website through a Google search, the website we are visiting may be hosting cookies.
Going back to the example mentioned above, when you visited the site and clicked on the Charles Dickens book collection link but didn’t buy it, the cookie on the site stored this information as a potential future purchase. That information was also used to find other similar books that have been already bought by others who were also interested in the same Charles Dickens collection as you. d re-marketing or re-advertising.
This helps advertisers identify what kind of ad should be positioned where to maximize profits.
What if I don’t want to see the ads of items I google on my social media?
Well, there is a way around that too! All you have to do is regularly clear your browser cookies and history so that your activity doesn’t get tracked.
So, how effective is re-targeting?
As per a study conducted by the Network Advertising Initiative in 2009, targeted advertising raised .
The conversion rate of users into buyers is twice as much with re-marketing.
The marginal cost of a product related search from ads is $15.65 per search, but for targeted advertising it drops down drastically to only $1.69 per search.
That’s all! Thanks for reading the entire way! Do leave your feedback.

The Partisans, outnumbered and engaged in major battles with the Chetnik formations of Colonel Dra?a Mihajlovi?, Ustasha militias and the combined German and Italian regular forces, were steadily forced into retreat until an elaborate deception plan allowed the Partisans to escape their pursuers. Despite the tactical defeat and the loss of men and equipment, the Partisan central command remained intact and the hospital safe which, over time, enabled the continuation of further operations against the enemy. All the major strategic military offensives of the Axis and their collaborators were ultimately thwarted.

In December 1943, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin decided to support the Partisans. The United Kingdom joined a month later, and stopped supplying the Chetniks. The first Soviet mission arrived at Partisan headquarters, shortly thereafter. The United States kept a military mission with Mihajlovi? to encourage continued Chetnik aid for downed American fliers.
The formulation of the resolutions at Jajce were revised and affirmed on 21 November 1944 in Belgrade, the city had been taken on 20 October by the Red Army and the Partisans under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito. One of the resolutions dealt with: "the decree about the transition of hostile goods to be turned into state property; about the public administration of the property of absent persons and seizure of the property alienated by force from the occupying powers". After this all possessions of the German Reich and its citizens, on the territory of Yugoslavia " as well as all possessions of persons of German nationality, except those Germans who fought as members of the national liberation army and the partisan units of Yugoslavia or who are citizens of neutral states, who did not behave hostilely during the Occupation ", should become the property of the new Yugoslav state.

Doing so allows you the ability to monitor and remove any ground water accumulation under your pool. This is important because water build up can cause pressure which could potentially damage your pool.
Place 8" pipe vertically into the pool hole and insert 4" pipe into it. The 8" pipe should extend approximately 6" higher than the top edge of the pool hole. The pipe should be stubbed up approximately 8" outside the edge of where the POOL COPING will be.
The skimmer lid will cover the pipe opening. The pipe should be cut prior to the deck being poured to ensure that the base of the lid will be level with the decking. Once the lid is in place, it should be flush with the decking and look identical to the actual pool skimmer lid. </s> Ann Coulter Makes A Good Point | Dude, Where's My Freedom?

When it comes to politics, I think generally there are “easy issues” and “hard issues.” Easy issues are the issues that are commonly allowed to be debated in mainstream society: drugs, abortion, gun control, drone strikes, etc. Everyone is generally familiar with the arguments for and against, and libertarians are comfortable making convincing cases for a pro-freedom position. But then, there are the hard issues. Things that you are simply not allowed to suggest in polite company, or on CNN. Equating taxation to theft is a hard issue. Advocating for the abolition of public schooling is a hard issue. Suggesting medical care is a hard issue.

Angiomyxoma is a mesenchymal neoplasm most commonly reported in women with a 6:1 female to male ratio. Angiomyxoma is most commonly reported involving the pelvis. In female patients, the tumor was found in the vagina, vulva, uterine cavity and urinary bladder. In male patients, it was found involving the scrotum, spermatic cord, prostate, penis, and urethra. Angiomyxoma is described as a slowly growing displacing mass rather than invading adjacent structures with no distant metastasis.
Aggressive behavior is often due to its infiltrative nature with frequent association with local recurrence attributed to inadequate surgical resection when not anticipated preoperatively.
Angiomyxoma do not commonly present with pathognomonic features on imagining, particularly if presented in atypical locations. Cross-sectional imaging, CT (com, may provide the best imagining information for preoperative diagnostic planning to-date. These tumors tend to be large, displacing masses with an unusual growth pattern. Pathologically angiomyxoma contain stroma with loose myxoid and high-water content background. This contributes to the high signal intensity on T2 weighted images on MRI, which may serve as a diagnostic clue. Additionally, the fibrovascular tissue may present as heterogeneous “swirled” enhancing bands.
From a radiological perspective, the atypical and uncommon presentation of angiomyxoma in the ureter would have been difficult to suggest based on CT features alone. This is related to the overlapping features of the presenting mass, in comparison to the more common tumors such as TCC (Transitional cell carcinoma) and fibroepithelial polyps. MR (Magnetic Resonance) urography may have suggested some of the above-described clues which may have helped in suggesting an alternative tumor type particularly with a myxoid matrix that is not typical to the more common urothelial neoplasms. Cross-sectional imaging will have served best in outlining the tumor origin, extent and signal characteristics.
Surgery with complete excision remains the first-line treatment for aggressive angiomyxoma eradication according to available evidence. We believed that a ureteral biopsy could have led to an organ-sparing surgery if angiomyxoma were to be considered in our differential diagnosis.
Urology Guidelines recommend doing a CT urography and a diagnostic ureteroscopy before treatment but the guidelines also state that the use of diagnostic ureteroscopy and biopsy are to be done in cases where additional information will impact treatment decisions. In our case, there was no doubt about the decision of treatment after seeing the images. As this is the first case documented in the ureter it woulda malignant tumor.

A non-commutative version of the usual electro-weak theory is constructed. We discuss how to overcome the two major problems: (1) although we can have non-commutative U(n) (which we denote by U* (n)) gauge theory we cannot have non-commutative SU(n) and (2) the charges in non-commutative QED are quantized to just $0, \pm 1$. We show how the latter problem with charge quantization, as well as with the gauge group, can be resolved by taking the $U_{*}(3)\times U_{*}(2)\times U_{*}(1)$ gauge group and reducing the extra U(1) factors in an appropriate way. Then we proceed with building the non-commutative version of the standard model by specifying the proper representations for the entire particle content of the theory, the gauge bosons, the fermions and Higgs. We also present the full action for the non-commutative standard model (NCSM). In addition, among several peculiar features of our model, we address the inherent CP violation and new neutrino interactions.

Fat is the most concentrated source of energy, which is why you might get a boost from eating sugar. On a LCHF diet (or low carb ketogenic diet), fat is your FUELHealthy Fats than they do on carbs & sugar – with a lot less "crashing", and a lot less health risks!
As you know, on a low carb diet we also track Fiber. Most people subtract Fiber from Total Carbs to get Net Carbs, with a limit of 20 net carbs per day max.
I use MyFitnessPal, which is a FREE Macro Calculator and a great way to keep up with your progress. It also allows you track exercise and calories burned, water intake, and determine accurate nutrition facts for your recipes.
To give an example, I am eating my breakfast as I write this. It's 1/4 cup Daisy Brand Cottage Cheese, 1/3 cup pecan halves and 2 medium strawberries.
A healthy low carb diet is approximately 75% fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs. As you can see, this meal fits that criteria very well. The percentages are over your total daily calories, so you can tweak your meals as you go to meet your goals.
It's very important to track properly.
Eating "too lean" can stall your weight loss and tank your energy.
Without tracking, there's no real way to know how many carbs you're actually consuming. And there's no nutrition data or food diary to refer back to if you experience health issues or a weight loss stall.
By tracking, you can easily identify what may be causing certain issues. It also helps A LOT if you ask someone for help, if you have actual data for them to go over with you.
Don't over-complicate it though, or let it become a total obsession.
My advice is to eat as much "real food" as possible. The less processed food the better, and the less complicated your recipes the better too.
A good rule of thumb is: Meat & Greens + Healthy Fats. Unless you're vegetarian of course, in which case you'll get your protein from other sources.
This becomes a HOT debate across low carb groups & forums: high protein vs high fat. I encourage you to do your own research on that. A high protein dietmost commonly: kidney function. I've seen this over and over. Don't make that mistake.
Here's the thing: While I don't focus on protein as one of my macronutrients, I get plenty of protein in my diet. More than the recommended amount, even. Protein does not help you build muscle or make you stronger, by the way.
Even though the focus is on eating healthy fats, and using fat as your source of energy (instead of carbs), you'll still get plenty of protein in your diet. I've heard people say that you need 100 or 150 grams of protein a day. I've also heard people say you should drink half your body weight in water, which is NOT TRUE lol.
On that note, don't try to go by grams. Just get 20 net carbs a day or lesss. Period. Analyzing grams gets really confusing, because many LCHF foods are both healthy proteins AND healthy fats – like eggs and salmon, for example.
So when it comes to tracking your macronutrients, go by ratios only.
As you can see, that is: 78% Fat, 19% Protein, 3% Carbs.
What you don't see… is that I consumed 116 grams of Protein that day.
MyFitnessPal gives you tons of data to work with, and that's a GREAT thing! But it doesn't mean you have to pay attention to all of it -lol. In fact, just ignore half of what she says. I swear, half the time I think that lady needs Prozac. 😛 haha.
MFP is set up for low fat / low calorie diets, so half the data won't be relevant to you anyway. Just ignore it.
Don't sweat it too much in the beginning through. Just track 20 net carbs or less, 70% in healthy fats (minimum). That's it. You'll naturally start making better/smarter food choices as you go… because reading labels is VERY eye opening! So like I said, don't over-complicate it, and don't give in to the "food bullies". Just track net carbs and healthy fats, and learn as you go.
p.s. If you have questions about tracking, protein or fat – leave a comment!
There are many healthy foods that are great sources of both protein AND fat. Some of my favorite "real foods" that are part of my regular "low carb staples" include: pecans, walnuts, Daisy Brand cottage cheese (because it only has 3 REAL ingredients!), avocado, salmon, tuna, ribeye steak, strawberries, spinach, yellow squash fried in olive oil, avocado pecan chicken salad, and I love "loaded broccoli" (steamed broccoli topped with butter, sour cream & cheese). YUM!

Do you need to count calories also? I've tried so many diets and change the way I eat many times and can't seem to shred these dreaded last 15 pounds. I workout 6 days a week, drink a ton of water and eat good but the scale stays the same.. However I am losing inches and I can't possible lose any more in my waist. I feel pear shaped.. Chest 36, arms 11.5, waist 24, hips 37, thigh 22. Someday I just want to scream and throw that forbidden scale out the damn window..any suggestions?
I don't count calories, but if you''s a natural appetite suppressant. Sometimes mine go as high as 2000 but more often than not they're closer to around 1200. And I lose either way.
A few years ago I went on a low carb diet and lost approximately 40 pounds. The pounds have all come back, plus some. I saw your blow and started following it and low carbing again. Within two weeks I lost twelve pounds. Now, I have not lost a single pound in over two weeks. Any suggestions?
So I'm confused, if you dont track calories how do you make sure you get close to your macros?? 25% of 1200 calories is going to be different than 1800 calories. How do you know roughly how much to eat??
I only eat when I'm hungry, and I don't eat when I'm not – or I stop when I feel satisfied.
I've figured out over time about how much I can eat at once, especially with less appetite when you're eating a ketogenic low carb diet, but that often means I make two meals out of one.
It's easier than it sounds. Just put your foods in before you make/eat them and you can see how it works out. Every meal doesn't have to be 70% fat or 25% protein, it just has to equal out that way at the end of the day.
You can see my own food diary posts here on the blog for examples of that.
If portion sizes: on
If grams – that's the reason I don't go by grams, but rather percentages or ratios.
I'm a vegan trying to do a ketogenic diet and it is very hard to go below 20 net grams a day because alot of vegan protein substitutes have carbs. I do 50 net carbs a day…will that still bring me into ketosis?
You'll just have to test it and see. They make strips & sticks you can use to test for ketosis. I don't use those, but you may want to.
Do you eat things like cheese and cottage cheese, or nuts? Pardon the ignorance, I'm not up to speed on the different levels of vegan diets. I'm happy to help though! What kind of protein substitutes do you use?
Thank you for this! Do you pay for a subscription to myfitnesspal to track your fiber? It seems that is the only way to adjust my goals to track it. Is that true?
No, I don't use the paid premium version. 🙂 I only use this hack: http://www.travelinglowcarb.com/4448/myfitnesspal-hack/ Note: It only works online (not on the mobile app), and you have to set it up in Firefox or Chrome.
How do you get myfitness app to show net carbs like yours do?
I read that too much protein (macros) will actually convert it into carbs. Sometimes, I want to eat salmon, but can't if I ate too much protein that day.
You'll read all sorts of stuff online. 🙂 I've read too much protein turns to glucose (sugar, which is carbs). The real thing you want to watch out for is eating high protein for an extended period of time – and the effect it may have on your kidneys. I'm not a doctor (obviously, lol) but I recommend you do some research on that – and anything else you "hear".
I don't know where to find the 'pie chart' on MFP.
If you're online, it's at the bottom left of the page below your Food Diary (where you enter your meals). If you're on the app, click Nutrition – then click the graph ico
I choose foods naturally high fat. If you look at my daily food journals, and the macros I post with the meals: http://www.travelinglowcarb.com/category/low-carb-daily-journals/ you'll see how easy it is.
Sausage & eggs is great. Chicken thighs are better than breasts (skin on – they crisp up so nice in the oven!). They're cheaper too. 😉 Ground beef is a good fatty meat (even Ground Chuck) so taco salad, hamburger steak, etc.
Cheese, sour cream, smoked sausages (great w/Kraut), and I love cucumber salad or egg salad – made with real mayo, preferably Duke's Mayo, but any real mayo is a good fat.
Hi Lynn, I ''s'sI have downloaded Firefox but noticed when you show what you have eaten, below everything it shows a percentage in green. Is that how it should look when I enter info in myfitnesspal?
I put fiber in my tracking on MFP, but it doesn't.

You shouldn't bI've beI'm not doing low calorie.
You'Are you still feeling hungry and low energy? If so, at what time of day does that usually hit you?
What food are healthy fats and how do you count them to ensure 70%?
Hi Leann 🙂 See: http://www.travelinglowcarb.com/4393/healthy-fats-and-super-foods/ Healthy fats are pecans, walnuts, avocado, salmon, real butter, olive oil, just to name a few.
Where do I get the My Fitness Pal Macro Calculator? I'm usI'mit fat? I'm confused.
You want The protein should be 25% max, but that usually takes care of itself easily if you are doing 70% fat minimum.
It IS just a minimum – I often do 80% fat or more. And the more healthy fats you include the better your weight loss & energy. 😉 So no, you do not need to limit fat.
The ideal kinds of fats to consume are: salmon, ribeye, avocado, pecans (and other nuts), real butter, coconut oil, olive oil, heavy cream, real cheese. Eggs are a good healthy fat (about 50/50 protein/fat) so cheesy eggs scrambled in real butter are great for example. Avocado is great salted & fried in butter too!
Hi any idea from where can I download an excel version of nutrional value of foods.
Been searching high and low for sometime but cant find.
I'm wondering if the sticks say I'm in ketosis, dies that mean I'm Not necessarily. Weight loss is not linear, it will have dips then holds, even when you are in ketosisan'tt I've at's working and enjoy the results!
You say to do 20 carbs or less and 70 percent fat to make it dimple. 70% of what? I just dont understand the macros. Is the 70 percent of total calories? So i have to track my calories? So confused, ive been eating low carb but not losing.
I ue I don't count calories, that is what you base your fat/protein percentages on. So you want to do 70% fat minimum, 25% protein max.
This is how I have my MyFitnessPal account set up to track it, and show me a graph with my ratios/percentagesIt's really easy once you get the hang of it!
For the past few weeks I haven't lost any weight. I'm in ketosis according to my urine strips and I'm under 20 net carbs daily. I try to eat plenty of healthy fat. I have a lot of weight to lose, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something. What do you think I'm doing wrong? I've been low carb for about 2 months and lost some weight at first but not lately. Help!!
How are you tracking? Are you consistently doing at least 70% fat or more every day? If not, that's where I would start.
Check these 4 points too: / and let me know if anything stands out to you. 😉 Happy to help!
I was using cronometer but have been winging lately. I figured if I was in ketosis, I didn't have to use it every day. Also, cream cheese and cheese are on the list of culprits. I do eat those. I'm going to try the app that was suggested and cut out most cheese and cream cheese. Hopefully that'll do it.
How do you make sure you get 70% fat if you can't use the tracker you refer to?
There are a number of apps and online trackers. Is there a reason you can't use any of those?

No. 1 squad, captured a region title. The Knights, led by the undefeated Isaac Garcia-Cassani, put five in the top-20 and beat RPI 51-87 in the Atlantic Region.
New England Region champ MIT jumped two spots to No. 3, its highest ranking in program history. The Engineers’ top-end depth broke a 110-110 tie with now-No. 5 Williams. MIT’s top-3 runners finished 2-4-13, compared to the Ephs’ 6-12-28.
The 7th-ranked Stags couldn’t move up too much in the already crowded top-10, but the Knights, Duhawks, Blue Jays and the Captains climbed two (No. 13 to No. 11), four (No. 16 to No. 12), six (No. 19 to No. 13) and five (No. 28 to No. 23) spots, respectively.
Though they didn’t win region crowns, runner-ups Occidental (West), Wartburg (Central), Allegheny (Pa.) (Great Lakes) and Washington and Lee (South/Southeast) all improved their positions. The Tigers returned to the poll at No. 16 after not being ranked in Week 7. The Knights jumped 15 spots from No. 32 to a five-year best at No. 17. The Gators leapt 11 spots from No. 30 to No. 19 and the Generals climbed from No. 33 to No. 27.

Summary, etc.: A New Freebie Finding Mom and Megs for sharing! </s> While everyone remembers Ringo Starr as the affable drummer of The Beatles, he is also generally considered the least important member of the band. This may be a fair characterization; his contributions to the Beatles’ repertoire — from “Yellow Submarine” (off “Revolver,” 1966) to “Octopus’s Garden” (off “Abbey Road,”1969) — were invariably goofy, almost childish in execution. Considering the monumental impact of hit’s songs often paled in comparison, both in his vocals and, for the few songs he penned himself, in his songwriting. Even his impeccable feel for drumming is often dismissed by those who regard him as an afterthought. Yet for someone who constantly stood in the shadows of his more overtly talented band-mates, Starr always maintained an endearingly positive attitude; it seemed he was just happy to be a part of the band.
The first track, “Rory and the Hurricanes,” is an easy-going tribute to Starr’s pre-Beatles days. The song nost

Most of my recordings are irrelevant to each other in terms of content, however the styles are quite similar so it’s not too hard to use them to make a video. The quality of the recordings is great, in high definition, which make it’s very easy to work with.
I don’t have audio recordings so I just used others’ recordings. They are quite similar with background noises, people talking and walking sounds. They are easy to use, however it’s quite boring with the common sounds for this abstract exercise.
After working with the recordings, I’ve learnt that it’s necessary to be linked in order to combine them together. It’s quite interesting to pick out some of the recordings and edit them together. It doesn’t make any sense but I think it’s visually enjoyable to watch. During the editing process, I have to think a lot about which ones to use, how to put them together, which audio goes with which video.

The cover of the conference brochure.
The 2019 Broadcasters Clinic will be held Oct. 15 to 17is. The annuals will be held in conjunction.
The “Madison clinic” is an industry tradition, kept vibrant even at a time when many regional events have disappeared. Its success has been thanks to an active leadership team, dedicated volunteers and ongoing association support.
Exhibitors and attendees have rewarded that investment by coming back year after year. Last year’s event won the award for Best Chapter Regional Educational Event from SBE.
This year’s clinic is dedicated to Gary Mach for 35 years of service to the Clinic Committee, from which he is retiring; organizers said his career has spanned nearly six decades “in” working for organizations including Wisconsin Public Broadcasting and PBS.
“The word ‘mentor’ only begins to demonstrate how he carried himself throughout his career,” WBA’s Leonard Charles said of Mach.
Also being saluted is WBA Clinic Committee member Bill Hubbard, recently retired from his own long engineering career. A charter member of Chapter 80, he recently was named the 2019 James C. Wulliman Educator of the Year by the SBE. Among other achievements, since 2013 he has contributed to the Media Technology Institute, a seminar to train new graduates in the basics of broadcast engineering. MTI was founded by Terry Baun who, in 2018, chose Hubbard to head the institute.
Below are sessions of interest to Radio World readers. See the full program, including TV-related presentations, at www.wi-broadcasters.org. For information about the SBE national meeting see sbe.org.
.
King will address solutions for using AM tower space for cellular telephone sites, broadband provider data services, LPTV antenna co-location for TV repack and other applications.
Walden, one of the fathers of IBOC, offers a brief discussion of how it came to be implemented as the U.S. digital radio platform over Eureka-147. He’ll then describe the Xperi AM HD Radio system including basics of OFDM and the elements needed to make AM HD radio work, including interleaving, error correction, reference carriers, the low-latency backup channel and instant tuning. He will also talk about performance in the presence of grounded conductive structures and the presence of interference.
Radio people know how to make great audio, so it follows that they should be able to make great podcasts, no? Well, not automatically. Bowman will discuss how radio can use podcasting and on-demand platforms to improve the ROI on content they are already creating while growing audience with original content.
A walkthrough to better understand the differences between Generations 3 and 4 of HD Radio technology. Haider will address features such as the advantages of running a combined importer and exporter, and tools to help time alignment of the FM analog and digital audio.
What’s cooler than solving a technical need by creating your own solution based on a Raspberry Pi microcomputer? Wright has developed various solutions at the Cumulus Chicago facility. Projects include Environmental monitoring, Axia Livewire routing control, making an older series XDS satellite receiver SNMP compatible, STL/TSL backups and a programmable studio clock/status display. Bring your laptop and your “wish list” projects for brainstorming.
Centeno will provide a Plan for your company or station to be prepared for major disasters.
This is a topic that unfortunately never goes out of fashion; indeed broadcast groups seem to be victimized by attacks ever more frequently.
Run a tabletop exercise at your facility to learn where the gaps are, identify solutions and refine your disaster planning in realistic ways. Chief Kujawa leads an interactive session that teaches you how to simulate a real-time, realistic event.
The clinic in Madison is a longstanding and popular conference.
“RF transmission systems are expensive and require annual maintenance to alleviate catastrophic failure, particularly for older systems,” Glavin says. “There are many monitoring systems that effectively measure VSWR and other performance issues in real time; however, fault location is not provided and requires additional resources.” He will discuss an IP-connected system providing broadcasters a way to monitor the RF system in real time, under full power with fault location.

Why have you given me only one eye?” demanded a Modigliani sitter. . With the other you are looking within yourself,” replied the artist. That interiority of being was what the scores of pioneering artists who converged on Paris between 1900 and 1920 all sought.,” said Matisse – licensing fauvist colour, cubist fragmentation, expressionist distortion: every form of early modernism that demanded an art of felt experience.
Now, for the first time in 40 years, a host of naked Modigliani beauties are in London, and still they hold the show at the Royal Academy’s Modigliani and His Models. Along with the greatest British Modigliani, the Courtauld’s rapt, sublime, apricot-skinned “Female Nude”, here are the privately owned “Reclining Nude with Her Right Arm under Her Head”, depicting Modigliani’s last lover, auburn-haired Jeanne Hébuterne, “Reclining Nude on Red Couch”, “Reclining Nude with Outstretched Arms”, the Guggenheim’s “Nude” and the Museum of Modern Art’s late “Reclining Nude”. Each model throws arms ecstatically behind her head, legs are cropped at mid-thigh and bodies appear to tilt daringly out of the picture, with all the sensuous languor of Giorgione’s or Titian’s nude goddesses. Such overt, uncomplicated eroticism is unique in modernism. How did Modigliani achieve it?
Both the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris and New York’s Jewish Museum have recently had large retrospectives, which attempted to answer this question with emphasis on Modigliani as a painterly radical and on his Italian or Sephardic roots. At the Royal Academy, by contrast, the nudes steal a much smaller show by subterfuge. Modigliani and His Models is typically British in its anecdotal focus, exploring Modigliani’s short career – the first works here date from 1913 and by January 1920 the tubercular artist had drunk himself to death – through a narrative detailing the people he painted. It makes a moving, lively story, for Modigliani was both a shrewd psychologist and emotionally volatile. A rival young artist, the cubist Juan Gris, has a thrusting, intelligent expression on a face composed of disjointed geometric blocks – almost a satire. The pull between self-assurance and nonchalant geniality in the portrait of the dealer Paul Guillaume, with his sinister dead eye, compels in its impression of complicity between painter and patron.
Lining the walls of the Sackler Gallery’s three long rooms, as in an old-fashioned portrait gallery, these unyielding modern types glint at you from all sides – yet how little their portraits are to do with character in the traditional 19th-century sense. How mesmerisingly they convey instead the 20th-century fixation on consciousness itself. Personality is subsumed within the formal pictorial vocabulary to which the artist made every model conform. Until dust destroyed his lungs, Modigliani was a sculptor. He carried over the attenuated forms and stylised features of his elongated limestone heads, and the flat linear drawings he made for them, in his first, hieratically simple paintings, such as “Caryatid” and “Large Red Bust”.
shadowless light, with neither setting nor props. As with Italian Renaissance works, their distancing effect invites you to penetrate beyond the surface to an inner secret, the self-absorption being suggested especially by the expressive almond eyes. Often these are blank, or painted in a single colour, and pull you to the heart of the painting – in the portraits of “Leopold Zborowski”, Modigliani’s far-sighted, thoughtful supporter, for example, or his friend “Luna Czerchowska”, whose hard-won tranquillity and seriousness he captures, placing her against a backcloth of furious red brushstrokes.
models, in the south. “Like Cézanne’s figures, they want to express nothing but a mute affirmation of life,” explained Modigliani.
In portraits of Jeanne from this period, Modigliani fuses melancholic detachment and withdrawal with lyricism and tenderness; these works are exceptionally affecting. The two greatest here – the Metropolitan Museum in New York’s simplified portrait, with Jeanne draped in a white shift and her eyes little more than blue slits, and the Merzbacher collection’s “Jeanne Hébuterne sitting”, in which the muted greens, ochres and russets of her dress and body are echoed in a harmonious background – show her pregnant; her delicate, passive face, suffused with light as in an icon, has a Madonna-like sadness and resignation, as if she foresaw a tragic future.
Shortly after they were painted, the 35-year-old Modigliani burst into vibrant colour in his final work, São Paulo’s luminous “Self-portrait”. Wearing a thick-piled crimson coat, he holds a dazzling palette; his head, outlined against a gold background, turns towards us, eyes blank, emaciated features suggesting a death mask – but also that transcendence of youth and art that has always constituted his legend. He called himself “an angel with a grave face” but took the nickname “Modi”, (“maudit” – damned – in French), and this portrait calls to mind centuries of doomed, beautiful young artists, from Keats to Kurt Cobain.

Tips on dealing with bathroom shower fixtures55
A great shower can either wake you up or get you moving in the morning, or help you to chill and unwind after an extremely hard day. To have the best shower experience possible why not invests in bathroom shower fixtures that might also change the appearance of your bathroom? The latest shower designs can spruce up the decor of a toilet, whilst the gracefully designed shower heads and designer fixtures impart a stylish touch to any bathroom. To enhance the look and quality of your bog, you must find the ideal faucet, handles, soap holders and showerheads that may complement the style of your toilet. Others like sets with a selection of features like shower heads that have bendable and portable arms, height settings that are adjustable, or valves that are pressure balanced.
There also are people who are simply drawn to a selected style and finish, for instance brushed nickel, bronze, copper, brass, gold, chrome and more.
Often this bathroom fixture has been in place since the house was first built and after a lot of years the shower tub can get worn and extraordinarily knackered looking. Here are some tips on transforming a bathroom shower tub that may add to the appearance of this much used room. To commence with you must get a feel as to what styles are preferred right now. This will be quite simply determined just by taking a look at some of the home improvement magazines out there.
Most shower tubs have a little lip over that the walls are built and if the walls are tiled then removing them can be messy as well as pricey.
A less expensive and simpler alternative is to reconstruct your bathroom shower tub by keeping the current tub and installing a fiberglass insert. This may give the appearance of a brand bathroom fixture at a fragment of the price tag and will also noticeably scale back the work needed on the tiled areas of the walls. Believe it or not only a couple of easy and cheap changes can make an enormous difference. Even a new rug and a fresh coat of paint in a modern color palette is all that is wanted to give the room a modern look.

I am a mom of 4. My 2 youngest are 2 1/2 & 5m. The Graco Quattro Tour Double stroller is great when you have a little one who likes to walk and then gets tired and wants to get a seat. My toddler loves the fact that he can get out of the front seat so easily & climb back in when he needs.The front seat reclines as well as the back for naps. This stroller has a great little basket up front for the older child that rides first if you want to keep a book or a toy under their feet for easy access or play.
I like to put the youngest in back makes it easier for me to see baby, while still attending to the older child in the front. I love the 5 point harness that both seats have, because it keep the children in safe and secure.
This Graco Tour double is long like a limo, folds compact in length, but not compact in hieght once folded. The stroller is a bit heavy to lift so you're definately going to need two hands. I'm only 5'2 and not muscular, I can get it in and out of the suv so its really not too bad. Making sure you have the room to store the stroller in the car or Suv is probably a number one concern when you usually store your stroller in the car for trips to the mall or zoo. If you drive a suv to carry this "limo" of a stroller than it is going to be perfect.

Much of Loftus's revised Why I Became an Atheist book is devoted to refuting the arguments of Christian apologists...Someone had to rebut the apologists, and Loftus has written a definitive refutation that only incurables could dispute—as they no doubt will continue to do. Fortunately the arguments of the "new atheists" are reaching the masses, and religion's days are accordingly numbered. Without Loftus to pull the rug out from under the incurables, that might have taken longer.
Why I Became an Atheist is a "revised and expanded" version of a book first published in 2006, amended to take into account comments and criticism of the 2006 edition. That does not mean that religious apologists will not try to dispute this latest version, recognizing that all possible objections have already been refuted. If definitive falsification of the god delusion was capable of curing the most intransigent believers, religion would already have ceased to exist. As long as biblical literalists are able to shut out the reality that the earth is older than the few thousand years depicted in their bibles, and that species evolved over billions of years rather than coming into existence in a single week, as bibles assert, such believers clearly could not be cured even if Jesus materialized on the White House steps and told the world that he had lived and died like any other man, and that he was not a god and had never claimed to be a god. Whether Loftus's updated book will encourage more nontheists to come out of the closet, as the book have done, remains to be seen. But don't hold your breath.
Loftus explains (p. 11), "Unlike some skeptics who think the Christian faith has been debunked so many times before that it's now time to ridicule them, I still treat it respectfully." How do I interpret that? Is he agreeing that, without it disappearing, that a new approach is needed? Or is he arguing that the approach that clearly has not worked, that of treating ridiculous beliefs as if they are not ridiculous, should be continued? He equates (p. 12) belief in Western religion with beliefAllah, Zeus, Baal, Poseidon, Thor, or Odin. He writes (p. 458) that, "The notion of a punishment after we die is sick and barbaric." Of course it is. But if that is treating religion respectfully when Loftus does it, why does he consider it ridicule when Dawkins or Harris does the same thing? Personally I agree with Harris, that treating moderate religion with respect encourages and facilitates the terrorist activities of extremists. Even the most peaceful theist needs to be shown that he and millions like him are the reason there was an Osama bin Laden.
Loftus ventures further into the field of biblical criticism than the above-mentioned Big Four. Unfortunately he does so as what is best described as an autodidact. He acknowledges his dependence on Bart Ehrman, Richard Elliot Friedman, G. A. Wells, Robert Price, all excellent scholars, and others whom I view as second-ranking, and repeats their conclusions uncritically. But he seems to have chosen whom to copy by tossing a coin. I can only wonder if he would have included so much with which I disagree, for example that the Deuteronomist wrote all of the books from Deuteronomy to 1 Kings, even though 1 Samuel is as self-evidently an amalgam of narratives written by authors whose theology was mutually incompatible as Genesis, if he had bothered to read God [i.e. Dr. Harwood's book], as far as I am aware the most complete analysis of the authorship of the whole bible currently available, or The Protestant Bible Correctly Translated [translated by Dr. Harwood], that would have drawn his attention to the absurdity of attributing 1 Samuel to the Deuteronomist.
Loftus raises the "problem of evil" that believers have been desperately trying to rationalize away since Epicurus asked the question over 2,000 years ago: If humankind is under the special protection of a deity that has the omnipotence to be able to abolish all non-manmade evil, and the omnibenevolence to wish to do so, why does it continue to exist? He also wants to know (p. 468), "If God exists, then why doesn't he show me?" Until believers can come up with a better answer to those questions than "mysterious ways," they simply cannot be taken seriously.
Much of Loftus's Ut, Mut and Tut (Loftus uses their real names). The weakness in such an approach is that ninety percent of believers have never heard of Ut, Mut or Tut, and can no more be cured by learning that their arguments have no credibility, than a communist can be cured by learning that the arguments of Robert Owen (Robert who?) have no credibility. Nonetheless, if nobody bothered rebutting Ut, Mut and Tut, the idea would spread that they could not be rebutted. (Keep in mind what happened when astronomers refused to dignify the fantasies of Immanuel Velikovsky with a rebuttal.) Dr. Harwood was kind enough to send this review to me. I don't know where it was published.
Last but not least, for anyone else who wishes to write a review of a book I've provided some guidelines here.

Net profit up 35% as online games rebound, but battle for eyeballs intensifies
A booth for Tencent's King of Glory game© VCG/Getty Image August 15, 2019 00:29 JST Updated on August 15, 2019 06:11 JST | China
HONG KONG/GUANGZHOU -- China's leading social media and gaming company, Tencent Holdings, reported worse-than-expected revenue growth for the April-June quarter partly on the rise of ByteDance, the world's most valuable startup, whose viral short-video app TikTok gobbled up a sizable chunk of online advertising.
In its earnings filed Wednesday, Tencent said net profit grew 35% on the year to 24.1 billion yuan ($3.4 billion), beating the average forecast of 20.7 billion yuan. The slowdown in online ads, however, cast a cloud on the company's strategy going forward.
Revenue from online advertising rose 16% on the year, down from a 39% gain in the same quarter of 2018. The company cited the "" as a factor in the slowdown. The sector accounted for nearly 20% of Tencent's total revenue.
ByteDance's short-video app TikTok has become the darling of advertisers thanks to its huge user base. In January, TikTok surpassed Facebook and Instagram in the numberer Tencent said in its statement.
Daiwa analysts agreed with these concerns, warning in an Aug. 7 research note that the "advertising outlook remains challenging" for Tencent as "increased ad inventory leads to a competitive pricing landscape and advertising budgets from advertisers are likely to remain cautious on macro concerns."

Tencent logged total revenue of 88.8 billion yuan ($12.6 billion). Despite increasing 21% on the year, it trailed the consensus estimate of 93.4 billion yuan, according to data provider Refinitiv.
Selling ad space on platforms such as its WeChat -- its chat application boasting 1.1 billion users, mainly in China -- serves as a key piece of Tencent's strategy to accelerate its overseas expansion with entertainment investments funded by domestic earnings. Tencent's plans for its second front abroad could suffer if the trade war puts further pressure on the Chinese economy.
The company for 3 billion euros ($3.36 billion), with a potential future increase to 20%, according to media reports this month. The Vivendi-owned music label's roster features the likes of Irish rock band U2 and American pop star Lady Gaga.
Tencent also is pursuing investments in other entertainment areas such as film and game development. It bought a substantial stake last year in U.S.-based Skydance Media, a producer of movies and virtual reality games. Skydance is co-producing a "Top Gun" sequel that Tencent is helping to fund via subsidiary Tencent Pictures.
More than 40% of Tencent's investments last year were in entertainment companies, roughly double the share from five years earlier, an analysis of data from Chinese research firm ITjuzi shows.
This marks a shift in the company's overseas strategy. The Shenzhen-based company previously hoped to use WeChat to gain a foothold abroad as well. But it hasWhatsApp and Line.
Tencent's online game sales rebounded to 27.3 billion yuan -- accounting for roughly 31% of revenue in the quarter -- thanks largely to new approvals by Beijing after a freeze on game licenses during most of last year.
China's No. 1 game publisher said it launched 10 new titles in the April-June period, compared with only one in the previous quarteralso holds a pessimistic view of the country's online ad sales. Tencent is an investor in the retailer.
"Because of the overall macro environment, the Chinese ad market is under great pressure," Xu Lei, the chief executive of JD Retail, told analysts Tuesday.

Du er her: » Strengthening and supporting nurses’ communication with m...
Background: Nurse-patient communication in intensive care units is challenged by the fact that patients are voiceless due to intubation and mechanical ventilation. Difficult communication affects nurses negatively, and it requires in this complex and technologically tense setting. Ausuggested as a way of optimising communication; several approaches can be combined in a multi-component intervention. Also, a communication algorithm has been proposed as a way of providing structure in patient communication. To enhance transparency and avoid poorly reported interventions, this paper describes the process, rationale and reflections behind developing a communication intervention called the ICU-COM. Objectives: To present the development process of a communication intervention prototype that aims to support and strengthen nurses’ communication with Design:ing complex interventions in health was applied. The approach was target-population centred. Settings: The intervention was developed and tailored to four intensive care unit departments at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark. Participants: Intensive care nurses and various experts, namely, speech-language pathologists, graphic designers, a software company, the local Centre for E-learning and nurse specialists were involved in its development. Results: An intervention consisting of: 1) a multi-component communication bundle, 2) delivery of the bundle via a teaching session and 3) initial implementation via nurse communication guides was developed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Trying too hard to be a book clubby book...
3.0 out of 5 stars Not the return to form I was hoping for....
This feels like a sequel to Blue Monday rather than one of a series of books featuring psychologist Frieda Klein. I liked Blue Monday although I found bits of it very silly. However, for me, Tuesday's Gone lacked the pacy, enjoyment factor of the first one. Frieda is still a great character but there were too many plot holes (spoiler alert -Janet's 'hanging' being a murder....
I tried this after browsing through the Kindle best seller list. I wanted a light-hearted read and this was cheap and had lots of great reviews. Having read the first thirty pages I couldn't help but think they were from the author's friends. The idea - trying to write a book in 24 hours was original (if flawed) enough, but the author is no Bill Bryson. It was all flat, cliched observations written without any flair. I hate giving books only one star but I'm afraid this book is the sort that gives self-publishing (which I think this is) a bad name. Just because you get a few laughs down the pub doesn't mean you're the new Nick Hornby!
I took this book away with me on holiday having read the author's recent book Private Lives which I loved. Perfect Strangers was a bit different to Private Lives in that it concentrated on two characters rather than the big cast the author usually has. But I think it made it more of a page-turner - in fact I read it in one day on my sun-lounger which I didn't do with any of the other books I took away!I loved the main character Sophie who had to go on the run after her boyfriend was found dead in a hotel suite and the book has a great hero in 'Josh' who I didn't know whether to trust until the very end. There's lots of beautiful locations too in the book which seems to be a hallmark in Tasmina Perry novels.The ending, set in the wilds of Scotland, was so romantic (and I cried!

Medicare Barriers To Treatment
Until you really get sick you may think Medicare works pretty well, but over the years there has been a gradual erosion of benefits. The Medicare fund has been quietly pilfered and reappropriated piece by piece for a long time. Many doctors have opted not to accept Medicare at all and some who used to accept it no longer do because of its complex system of paperwork and its maze of requirements, many of which make no clinical sense. Those doctors who continue to take Medicare patients are often "trained" to adopt a sense of futility when tryingThis places them in a difficult ethical position, as there's a great divide between what's best for the patient and what can be obtained reimbursement-wise.
Identified as having a rare and atypical breathing pattern called Biot's Breathing my pulmonologist recommended oxygen for my condition but warned me "get ready for a big fight". Little did I know I was about to embark upon a long, arduous process which more closely resembled an obstacle course than prior approval just to get the life-sustaining substance my doctor was to prescribe. As my respiratory symptoms worsened in the ensuing weeks, I began to wonder whether I might have a stroke or a heart attack by the time the underlying hypoxia was treated. One especially severe episode left me with tinnitus in my left ear and shot central nervous system pain down my arms and legs. There were nights I held on by my fingernails, wracked by severe central apneas, shortness of breath, chest and lung pain, faintness, sudden bouts of bowel urgency such that I thought I would crap my pants at a moment's notice, and even episodes of sleep paralysis in which I was fully aware I couldn't breath but was unable to move or do anything about it. At 2 AM I often found myself w, or even whether I should be admitted to the hospital for my own safety. I was at home alone with a force that was playing "chicken" with my life. For over a month I white-knuckled it at home, every night hoping I would wake up the next morning, while my symptoms during the day became even worse than those I experienced at night, a few hours on, then a few hours off.
Several times I became very sleepy when I was out grocery shopping and actually fell asleep on my feet nearly falling to the ground.
Meanwhile my doctor and his nurse were trying to find a medical equipment vendor who accepts Medicare, which took nearly a month. Then came the first hoop to jump through.
In order to qualify for portable oxygen I had to take what is referred to as "the 6 minute walk test." If you can pass that chances are you can't go out anyway, LOL. What they do is hook you up to an oximeter to measure your blood oxygen level and have you walk back and forth down a hall for 6 minutes. If during that 6 minute time-frame you desaturate to 88% or below then you can qualify for Medicare to cover a portable oxygen unit. The technician kept telling me to breathe the whole time (more than was natural for me), so of course I didn't cut it, and as it was still early in the day my full spectrum of symptoms hadn't kicked in yet.
After several more weeks of respiratory agony Medicare finally authorized nighttime oximetry at home so that I could gain the "proper" evidence that I was desaturating at night. One company didn't respond, so my doctor's nurse had to call another. They were supposed to call me and didn't. Then one day they just showed up at my door with the oximeter and no explanation as to why it took so long. The other company then called wanting to bring their equipment over, so I had to tell them the other company beat them to it. It wasn't a total loss though since on the phone about "compassionate use" letters, as he told me that he'd just received a memo that morning stating that Medicare could take a letter in the absence of sufficient data from the two tests if a doctor could state that;
1) There is no approved drug that cures the condition.
2) That other options have been tried and failed.
3) That oxygen would relieve the patient's suffering, has a likelihood of helping, and will give the patient better quality of life.
In the nighttime test I had to desaturate to 88% or lower for a total f 5 minutes in order to qualify for nighttime oxygen. That night I hooked it up to my finger, lay down, but didn't get much sleep, since this was the last test which ultimately would determine whether I'd get oxygen at all, and the pressure had me on the edge of my seat. The next morning I wondered whether I had obtained the information sufficient for Medicare's requirements and worried I may not have because I'd had so little sleep. To cover all bases I prepared my doctor to write a letter of necessity just in case, because at that point things were getting pretty rough.
A week later the results came in and it just so happened that I qualified under what they call "Group 1." In a few more days the equipment vendor brought out an oxygen concentrator, tubing and other parts. I felt relief within minutes the first night. Before I fell asleep I felt more energy, mental sharpness, and the shortness of breath was much less. I could feel the upper part of my lungs that had often felt stuffed start to ease up, cough improved, my nose was clear the next morning and even my baseline pain was reduced. I could tell that I had been hypoxic for many years because I can't remember when I felt that normal.
This was a good start, but I found it only carried over for a certain number of hours after I was off it the following day, and if I went out it wouldn't take long for the symptoms to return. On hot days I get winded now even sooner.
In addition I hadn't anticipated that I would be allergic to the plastic in the cannula that went in my nose after the 2nd day of use. After about 4 days I had a big pus-filled sore between both nostrils where the plastic made contact, and my body was mounting a big inflammatory response making my nasal passages swollen and the stuffiness returned. I tried a mask instead which did get rid of the allergic response since the plastic didn't touch the inside of my nose, but I found that there wasn't enough holes for exhaled air to escape and my face started to sweat pretty quickly (which kept me from sleeping too).
I went online to research this problem and found lots of reports from others about allergic actions to the plastic tubing. One person suggested on one of the forums covering the cannula and prongs with fabric medical tape, so I got some and decided to try it out.
This photo shows 1 uncovered and the other covered. The ones I have are manufactured by Salter Labs. I have tried to find out the type of plastic used to make them and so far have only been told PVC and "plasticiser" (whatever that means). I know there are many potential polymer compounds, and in order to determine what exactly I'm allergic to I need to know what kind of plastic is in it.
This PubMed article documents this allergy in patients using oxygen cannulas;
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10315103 The tape did the trick, although I notice that the sticky stuff eventually bleeds through and makes my nostrils a little sticky.
Apparently there is one company Topah Medical that sells cannulas made of Silicon and claims it is non-allergenic and non-carcinogenic. They're made by a company called Everest
They sell a 4 foot one for $41.00 and a 6 foot one for $45.00. Although pretty pricey compared with standard cannulas they are warranteed for 1 year, and can be boiled once a week without damage in order to sterilize and rid them of bacteria inside and out.
Apparently it doesn't work for everybody but seems not to cause a reaction in most people.
Meanwhile I am in the process of appealing Medicare's decision not to cover Benicar every 4 hours as is used in the Marshall Protocol for Sarcoidosis.
The response Humana (Georgia's default Medicare Part D provider) gave me was as follows;
We denied coverage or payment under Medicare Part D benefit for the following prescription drugs(s) that you or your prescriber requested: Benicar 40 M TABLET 180/90
Why did we deny your Request?
We denied this request under Medicare Part D because:
Benicar has been prescribed for Sarcoidosis. Although the medication may have been initially denied at the pharmacy due to a quantity limitation requirement, upon clinical review it appears that the requested drug isn't prescribed for a medically accepted indication as stated in Section 1860D-2(e)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act by reference to section 1927(k)(6) of the Act. As noted in section 1927(g)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, this includes FDA-approved uses and off-label indications which are supported by one or more citations in the approved drug compendia (drug reference guides)-Micromedex Drugdex Information System The physician's prescribed use of this medication doesn't meet the criteria and isn't covered.
after the date of this notice. W You have the right to ask us for a formulary. You have the right to ask us for a coverage rule exception if you believe a rule such as prior authorization or quantity limit should not apply to you.
Note that InHumana is provided the discretionary power to set aside these restrictions and that they chose not to (not only once but twice!) They are well aware that without this medication I will eventually die. Apparently that's perfectly OK with them.
I have now appealed it and been denied two times. Appeal number 3 goes to an arm of Medicare called Maximus Federal Services.
I have writtam establishing a paper trail to prove the current Medicare regs aren't working for patients and that an amendment needs to be made to put such d.
Both issues; the Medicare process for approval of oxygen and off-label protocols could be made alot more patient-centered if enough people wrote in to HHS, President Obama, and their legislators on the Federal level and insisted on it.
If you would like to give your input/support you can write her and the HHS Committee @
Sylvia M. Burwell
In many states DME (Durable Medical Equipment) companies have a competitive bidding process and this also hampers one's access to quality treatment, so if you're writing your legislators about oxygen be sure to ask that they vote to abolish that practice because it places priority on lowest price rather than quality service that is best for the patient. Medicare beneficiaries deserve better!
Representative Bernie Sanders from Vermont who is running for President in 2016 has been a consistently strong advocate for those on Medicare and Medicaid. In addition to Sylvia Burwell I have written him and President Obama regarding these issues.
If you yourself are ill then make your voice heard. If you are healthy then don't wait until you need it to write your representatives in Congress. Do it now so that if you should need one or both of these types of treatment the option will be there when you or somebody you love needs it urgently.
I amto! Insurance companies are supposed to be there when you need them in such crucial times, not obstruct you from getting the care you need. They were never meant to make medical decisions in place of one's doctor.

By now you’ve pretty much seen a TON of DIY Halloween costume ideas from us, and believe me, they are so much more fun to make than buy readymade at the store! I truly believe that the most fun of Halloween is at the getting ready part! Some of the costumes we’ve put together have been fun, sexy, silly and like our last post, pretty hilarious. If you’ve learned anything by now, it’s that you can make anything sexy. You can even become a sexy Donut by wearing a pair of beige or brown leggings, a gold or yellow corset, and wrapping a pink chiffon scarf around your neck that you’ve bedecked with tube beads to look like sprinkles. Voila, sexy donut! And hilarity ensues!
This costume is one we haven’t yet come up with (don’t know how this one got missed!) but our Emerald Green Satin Corset can be paired with the popular “mermaid leggings” but instead of seashells in your hair, add a couple of spikes or dragon headband and boom you’re a dinosaur! Or lizard! Or dragon! Long nails, lizard-y earrings can complete the look. All you need is a green sequined embellished clutch and a pair of sequined black heels and BOOM you’re a magical reptile!

All the other brands with similar timings are priced at least $50 more or so.

Body armour, knee and/or shin pads, shoes, favoured brands, bmx-specific gear or motorcross gear - interested to know what everyone wears on the track!
used 661 kyle strait knee pads, elbow/ forearm(not sure of make), Thor mx pants and five ten freerider low tops.
Five Ten shoes are spot on.
661 hard shell knee/shin and 661 hard shell elbow , they're cheap enough , comfy not to bulky but nice amount of padding, they slide a bit rather than grab like some of the soft pads , when you fall, (yes you will ) Five Ten high top shoes , Freeriders or the older Linekings, as Andy says spot on shoes for flat pedals , get some decent pins in the pedals and your feet wont budge, i've never rode clips on bmx , gloves , leather palms/fingers , if not full leathers , most of the lightweight race gloves are useless.
Thanks for the replies! Haven't heard of Five Tens before, so will check them out. I was just going to use my Vans!!
Assuming that you're wearing pads under and not over them, do you need to go up a size on jerseys and pants? For example, I'm usually a medium top and 32 waist, so would I need larger sizes?
For example, I am normally a 32 waist, but have 34s in race pants. most tighten up a bit anyway. As for jerseys if you tuck them in, the large would be good for the length.
Have a set of THE Knee/Skin pads, good if wearing shorts.
Race Pants are ones you wouldn't have heard of, However Many start with MX Pants due to ease of sourcing.
Sorry to high jack this thread..
Broke my collarbone many moons ago on my old Marin nail trail mtb and had a weakness there ever since.
Myself is looking into some safety equipment as I just bought a 24" haro Pro.
Do anyone use body armour neck brace to protect this area or recommend .
I was thinking of getting this..
Deffo going to get the five ten shoes thanks for advicing them..
That's one thing I do run, the Neckbrace, which is a Leatt GPX 5.5 (its the motorbike version).
Previously I had the original BMX Leatt brace, however after a big fall (cracked a helmet and left the left shoulder/arm immobile and a trip in an ambo) I swapped it to the 5.5 because the original models didn't have a large cut out around the Collarbone area. The fall was a very heavy blow to that area.
If you do look for a neckbrace best to try them on to see how they feel around the collarbone area. Some brands don't go near it and others are cut away from there. A brand like Atlas is more of a ring for example.
As for the body suit. There are a fair few riders I know of that do ride in them or the various brands of them. Haven't tried one though.
Will look into these bits of kit..
Bloody expensive thought but again they do the job..
Bought a pair of five tens trainers..
But looking to get 661 full face helmet .
Just don't know what race gear to get as I don't want to look to fast..
Going to change the existing 36t chainring to a 36t disc which will look like this when I find the correct disc.
Already Got the decals from Del too fit.
Will look like this when done.
Still a pain to upload pics guys..
So had to use Photobucket..
Yeah, I've been having the same photo issues, so am also still using Photobucket.
I w!
To smart to race with..
Looks great! I like that helmet!
The helmet " use the force Luke "
Took the Crupi for a bit of a practice section yesterday and wore some of my new kit. Love the 661 knee pads, which I actually wore over my jeans to save a bit of time! However, I'm feeling vulnerable with no arm protection, so want to get some elbow pads asap. Aside from the previous comments above, any other recommendations? Thanks in advance!
Thanks again for your help! I'd prefer the thinner ones if they still do the job, plus those with some forearm protection would be a bonus! I like the G-Form stuff and am also looking at these TLD EGL5550 ones which I've handily just tracked down in a mtb shop not far from me, so will go there this weekend to try 'em on for size! The price is a little more than elsewhere but when you add on the shipping it works out at about the same, so if they fit, I may well pull the trigger!

Israeli, Egyptian, UAE leaders meet about ‘shared security interests’
L-R: UAE leader Mohamed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan,PM Naftali Bennett meet in Sharm El-Sheikh, Mar. 21, 2022. (Facebook/ Egyptian Presidential Spokesperson)
(Facebook/ Egyptian Presidential Spokesperson)
An anonymous Egyptian source said “shared security interests” were the topics of discussion in the trilateral meeting.
A spokesman for the Egyptian president said the three leaders “focused on issues regarding energy, market stability and food .”
Egyptian sources cited by Reuters Monday said that the trilateral part of the meeting focused oGulf countries have not answered the call. They – as well as Israel – are have voiced disappointment over what they see as American disregard for their security worries. Concerns include Iranian support of its Houthi terrorist proxies in Yemen, who have been increasing their rocket attacks on Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Jerusalem is also well aware that long-range Iranian missiles can hit Israeli territory from Yemen.
Other issues were discussed as well. According to The Jerusalem Post, the anonymous diplomats said that the trilateral meeting concentrated on “shared security interests, of which there are quite a few, in all their aspects.”
It can be assumed that one of them was the renewed nuclear deal, which the U.S. is reportedly close to signing with Iran.
Another almost-certain topic is the mutual concern regarding the Iranians’ last-minute demand for WashingtonAmerican designated terrorist list.

An.n 8th MWith the movie opening today (7.40 tonight for me! Woooooo!) Marvel have sensibly relaunched Carol Danvers’ ongoing series and even more sensibly given it to Thompson. Her steady hands guide Carol back from an extended sabbatical (See the also excellent Margaret Stohl and her work on The Life of Captain Marvel) to active duty.
And reconnecting with her boyfriend.
We’re two issues in as I write this and the thing that really jumps off every single page is how good Thompson is at writing Carol Danvers. A character who, prior to her Kelly Sue DeConnick led renaissance, was too often written as Ann Coulter with superpowers has become a smart, pragmatic and cheerily self-aware lead. Carol knows she’s exceptionally strong and physically capable. She knows how to lead people in a manner that doesn’t put them in danger. Most of all she knows she can’t do it all. The hard fought lessons of the last few years have made her a leader who is instinctive as she is confident. When the Captain talks, you listen, regardless of whether their second name is America, or Marvel.
But comics are a team sport and every single team member here is top class. Carmen Carnero’s art is exactly what the book needs; science fiction exuberance combined with remarkable awareness of characters’ physicality. Carol’s deadpan sense of humor is pretty much the book’s co-star and Carnero’s work excels at selling the jokes, and action, through her posture and expression. Plus the fight sequences are fast, big and nasty. Never, ever go up against a flyer with super strength. Subsonic curb stomps leave a mark.
Captain Marvel issues 1 and 2 are out now. Find your local comic shop here, find mine here and Comixology here. </s> I’ll be honest, this is partly just a bit of personal auditing, my tidy mind needing to keep track of what I have been writing over recent days and weeks of lockdown. It helps when I am writing to keep tabs on what I have said and where I might have said it before.
But I hope others among you may find it useful to have it all in one place. I have been pretty prolific during the Covid crisis, taking my own advice to ‘think in ink,’ and in addition to the many pieces on here, and more that I have probably forgotten, I have finished a non-Corona novel, and started another book too. That may partly explain why I want to bring it all together. I’ve also been busy on the music front too, as you will see.
This mainly consists of blogs and articles but I have thrown in the occasional tweet at memorable or important moments, and some of the media

AWFS Fair ~ July 24 - 27, 2013
Joan Kemp, Immediate Past President
AWFS Fair New Product Showcase
AWFS« Seeks Judges for the AWFS«Fair
Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers« AWFS« is looking for woodworking industry executives to judge the "Visionary" Awards that will be part of the New Product Showcase at the biennial AWFS«Fair in Las Vegas, July 24 - 27, 2013. Potential judges must have a major purchasing influence with a woodworking manufacturer, possessing a strong knowledge of shop operations.
Angelo Gangone, Executive Vice President, AWFS stated, "It is really our goal to emphasize the new products at the 2013 Fair more than ever before as it continues to be the number one reason that buyers attend trade shows."
All interested volunteers should contact Angelo Gangone, at
The voting panel will review applications prior to the Fair, in order to choose finalists and then must be available onsite, during the event, to select the winners.
Thank You to SkillsUSA Sponsors
We are seeking donations of prizes and "goodie bag" takeaways (i.e. tools or equipment, tape measures, pens, pencils, safety glasses, notepads, books, DVDs or other items) for the Skills California State conference in April.

Have You Reserved Your Exhibit Space?
Want to recharge your business? Introduce a new product or technology? Position yourself above the competition as the industry regains momentum? You can't do any of it from your desk. You've got to be at AWFS Fair 2013, where the industry - your customers, prospects and competitors - will be.
AWFS FAIR ~ Update
As of this writing, the AWFS«Fair is already nearly as large (space-wise) as the 2011 show with almost five full months to go, as new exhibitors are being added to the floor plan daily. Why is this so significant? Well, first of all, it's wonderful to be back in growth mode, particularly after the last four years of economic upheaval. However, ultimately, 2013 is not an AWFS story but really an industry story as any healthy and successful industry trade show is truly a reflection of the industry that it represents.
It was very clear that there was certainly a much more upbeat (albeit cautious) attitude at our 2011 event as compared to 2009, when we were just beginning to dig ourselves out from under the severe financial crisis, that was being felt worldwide. Move forward to 2012 and that positive feeling clearly seemed to accelerate, with exhibitors and attendees alike, at the IWF show in Atlanta. In 2013, following a great month of January, AWFS sold more booth space during the month of February than in any single month since 2007. In fact, we have not seen this level of interest and anticipation for our show since before our entire economic world changed in the fall of 2008.
This is great news in itself as it is a clear indicator that our members/exhibitors are much more confident in their own businesses thanks to the confidence that they are seeing in their customers.
As our attendee campaign kicks into high gear, the significance of this continued build-up in momentum should also spread to the buyers that, in many cases, may have spent years waiting on the sidelines for "better-days" ahead. Well if current exhibitor interest is any indicator, better days are already here. As a matter of fact, many exhibitors have increased their booth space for 2013, some considerably, indicating confidence in a market that continues to strengthen, thanks to a combination of healthier residential and commercial construction. Below are a few of the noticeable exhibitor booth expansions from our previous event.
In addition, numerous companies are coming back into the show for the first time since 2009 and some from as far back as 2003, including: Accuride Int'l; Akzo Nobel; American Laminates; Bainbridge Mfg. Inc.; Baldor Electric Co.; CMS North America, Inc.; Conquest Ind. Inc.; Dynaric; Ecogate; ESI; Koch Machinery & Systems; Lans Company; Mohawk Finishing Prod.; Pollmeier; and Saw Trax Mfg., just to name a few. With these returning names, is also a growing list of exhibitors that will be joining our show for the very first time. For a complete list of 2013 exhibitors - click here.
Marketing Manual Now Available!
In addition to all of the advertising, electronic campaign and direct mail that AWFS will be utilizing to gather as many buyers as possible for our July event, we have also provided all of our exhibiting companies with tools to help each of you get your customers to the show. We recently completed the 2013 AWFS«Fair Marketing Manual and would encourage you to take a look at the many opportunities that AWFS presents in order to help you promote your participation in our event including, Customer Invitation Postcards, Online Show Directory Listings and entry forms for the Visionary New Product Awards. Access the manual here.
Show Brochure will be Available in Electronic Format
After the completion of the manual, AWFS decided to come out with an electronic version of our Comprehensive Show Brochure. This brochure contains all of the details concerning registration, hotels, seminars and show features. AWFS will still allow exhibitors to order printed copies for direct mail purposes. However, since print and mailing costs continue to increase, the electronic version is an easy way of distributing this important information to customers in a truly inexpensive manner. We will notify all of our exhibitors when the e-brochure becomes available.
Now is the Perfect Time to Look at an AWFS«Fair Sponsorship
The spring of any show year, is a busy time for customers that are seeking to maximize their exposure, before during and after the Fair. We encourage you to review the Sponsorship brochure and contact Amy Bartz at [email protected], while a great selection is still available.
AWFS Fair Education Program Set to Deliver 50 Sessions
From all-day training workshops and open forums on hot topics to skill demos and up-close technology sessions, the 2013 College of Woodworking Knowledge will offer a diverse selection of classes for attendees to choose from. Spread over five days, beginning with the pre-show day, Tuesday, July 23, the program will feature sessions on Design, CAD/CAM and Google software; a series of marketing, sales and growth seminars from a variety of perspectives; Lean Manufacturing in several formats; technical programs on tooling, cell manufacturing, plastics, edgebanding and dowell construction; handcrafted sessions on marquetry, vacuum pressing, handplanes, finishing and repairs; and many other topics in business management, safety, millwork and more.
New in 2011 and back this year is a special education track for Small Shops Ten & Under. Three free sessions will be offered to all attendees -- one a day on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, on topics of safety, regulations and industry-education partnerships. The full program will go live in two weeks. To view it, go to www.AWFSfair.org.
It has been my pleasure to serve as President of AWFS for the past five years and now I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our members, our Board of Directors, and our staff for the support and encouragement given to me during my tenure. It was a tumultuous five years. We started off with a bang, only to immediately be followed by the worst economic downhill slide in recent United States history. Our challenge was to continue to serve our members and the industry with the same outstanding benefits and Trade Shows on a highly reduced budget. We modified our way of doing business to meet the necessary lower operating costs while still providing our member companies and the woodworking industry two great, highly productive, Trade Shows as well as maintaining the vast majority of our member benefits. We strongly believe we are on the uphill side of this economic disaster the woodworking industry has had to endure and the exhibitor signups for the upcoming July AWFS Trade Show in Las Vegas support this. Both exhibitor booth sales and attendee registration are tracking way ahead of both the 2009 and 2011 Shows.
Now, we feel we are back on track and looking forward to great things in the near future beginning with the installation of Wade Gregory as the AWFS new President. Wade comes from big industry on the supply side of woodworking and can offer the AWFS Board new and exciting direction. He has vast experience in leading Associations and brings with him a clear vision of where AWFS needs to go and will establish the most efficient path to accomplish those goals. Please welcome and support Wade Gregory as the new President of AWFS.
As I write this article, our offices are in total disarray as we prepare to move about 20 miles or so south on Interstate 5, in less than two weeks. Our new offices will be located in Anaheim, a literal stone's throw from Angel Stadium (or at the very least, the parking lot). For me, leaving these offices means finally having a commute that is actually tolerable for the first time in nearly a decade. Yet, I can't help but reflect on the last six years that we've spent in this location and the incredible highs (and many lows) that our Association and its wonderful volunteers and incredibly loyal and dedicated staff members have experienced over that time period.
We moved to our current Commerce, CA location back in January of 2007, right before we produced our largest show ever, just in time to celebrate AWFS«Fair's 50th Anniversary that same year. By our next show, in 2009, the world and our industry was a very different place. The fact is most of the time that the staff and I have spent in this location has been during a period of crisis and consolidation. None of us certainly ever dreamed of the challenges that were in store as we started to unpack our boxes that we transported from our previous location on Rickenbacker.
That is why I cannot help to also think that the timing of the current move is truly symbolic. Don't get me wrong, there is really never a "perfect" time to move, and as my staff will attest to, certainly not five months prior to our "big event". Yet, as indicated in the latest trade show article, this is the very first time since 2007 that AWFS«Fair is back in growth mode. The mood around our office is lighter and more upbeat than it's been in years. I can sense that same optimism with our board of directors and many of our members as well. It's really nice feeling that way again. As a result of this optimism, this move really feels like a great new beginning as I can't help but look forward to 2013 and the great things that our staff, in cooperation with our board and committee volunteers, will accomplish in the coming years.
One more thing, before I get back to the endless supply of cardboard boxes and bubble wrap, I cannot even begin to express my gratitude and appreciation to the wonderful volunteers that have helped us through these past six years. I also cannot overemphasize how proud I am of our staff and seeing how hard they worked and how wonderfully they performed under the most incredibly adverse conditions.
Even though the last six years may not have been our prettiest, I certainly think they were a great reflection of our organization and the incredible people that represent AWFS. I thank each and every one of you for sticking by us and helping us navigate through the difficult times and look forward to working with all of you during, what should certainly be, better days ahead!
LVCVA Unveils Vision for Future of Business Events
Today the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority unveiled its plans for the Las Vegas Global Business District. This overarching vision will be the next evolution of the trade show business in the destination.
It is our goal to provide you with the greatest possible experience during your events, and we are committed to making sure that Las Vegas is years ahead of the competition. We have spoken to many of you about your needs and wishes for our facility and are developing the plan with that input in mind.
As part of this vision, the Las Vegas Convention Center will receive a major renovation that includes additional exhibit space, meeting rooms, and general session space. We will also leverage the facility's designation as a World Trade Center site to further establish Las Vegas as an international business center, providing you with greater ability to promote attendance at your events as well.
We will also be developing a centralized transportation hub at the Las Vegas Convention Center that will improve connectivity throughout the tourism corridor for all modes of transportation.
We are in the initial stages of this project, which will be developed in phases over several years. The first phase, over the next two years, will include design and budget development, improvements to the current space at the Las Vegas Convention Center - featuring additional restaurants and food outlets, evaluating land acquisitions around the convention center, and presentation of the overall project to our board of directors for approval. The LVCVA will issue up to $150 million in commercial paper for this phase.
We are excited about this new vision for business events in Las Vegas, and we look forward to sharing our vision with you as we move forward. Click here to view an early conceptual design of the project. If you have any questions or comments, please call my office at 702-892-2855.
Twenty High School Students Compete in SkillsUSA California Region 3 Woodworking Contests; Help Needed for SkillsUSA California State Contests
Twenty high school students from programs in Los Angeles and Orange counties met on Saturday, February 3 at Los Angeles Trade and Technical College to compete in the SkillsUSA California Region 3 Cabinetmaking and Introductory Woodworking contests. The cabinetmaking students had three and a half hours to complete a bill of materials and build a cabinet door, face frame and top. The Introductory Woodworking contestants built a magazine holder. AWFS assisted in the organization, planning and execution of the event.
The six top-scoring Cabinetmaking students and eight highest-scoring Introductory Woodworking students will now advance to the SkillsUSA California Championships, taking place April 4-7 in San Diego. They will compete against students from other regions for the chance to represent California at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City.
Industry Shows Support of Students
AWFS member and exhibitor companies donated nearly $1,000 in supplies, materials and tools to the event. Royal Plywood donated $600 in #2 pine and plywood (as well as lumber for the Carpentry contest), Blum and Rockler Woodworking provided "goodie bag" takeaways for the contestants - tape measures, pencils and safety glasses . Rockler also contributed face frame screws, biscuits and driver bits and Freeman provided sponsor and volunteer recognition signage.
"Industry involvement is important to the students because it indicates that we are interested in what they are doing and want to see them succeed. Participation is valuable to me because I want students to learn industry-standard techniques and practices so that they will do well in the workplace", said Cabinetmaking Contest Coordinator Sa·l Martφn of Architectural Woodworking Company in Los Angeles. Martφn, along with Jay Andrews of Laguna Tools, Anthony Fortner of Cerritos College and seven dedicated Cerritos College students assisted with contest coordination, judging, setup, teardown, power tool supervision and written test grading.
SkillsUSA California has experienced growth in membership and contestants in the past 3 years and the woodworking contests have felt this growth. In 2011, the woodworking contests were under threat of cancellation, but now they are well attended and are clearly important to local schools and students. "It's exciting to see students returning from previous years, we can see their skills advance. Teachers look forward to bringing their students to the event and want to know how they can help their students improve their skills," said Adria Torrez, AWFS Assistant Education Director, who helps coordinate the Region 3 woodworking contests.

At the State Championships in April, Cabinetmaking students will build a complete cabinet with a drawer box and door. Introductory Woodworking contestants will build a tote tray to showcase basic skills. Gold medalists in Cabinetmaking contests will advance to the SkillsUSA National Skills and Leadership Conference in Kansas City, Missouri June 23-27.

Bi-Partisan Bill Would Close Skills Gap In US
Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., joined Sens. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., and Dean Heller, R-Nev., in introducing bi-partisan legislation aimed at closing the "skills gap" in the U.S.
The America Works Act would modify existing federal job-training programs so that they place an emphasis on programs and certifications that are recognized and demanded by industry, according to a news release.
"This is an example of the common sense, straightforward work Congress can be doing to improve our nation's economy," Donnelly said. "I have heard time after time from Hoosier educators and workers about the pressing need to close the skills gap and get more people to work."
Estimates by the Manufacturing Institute and the professional services firm Deliotte indicate there are as many as 600,000 job openings in the country that remain unfilled because employers are not able to find workers with the necessary skills, according to the news release.
Said Donnelly, "The improvements in this bill would be a benefit for both workers and employers, as workers would know that the time they spend training is more likely to lead to employment in a well-paying job, and employers would be more likely to hire people who they know have the training they need to be productive on day one."

While set in the same world, this is a darker and bloodier version, using Valve's Source engine. Although it maintains some of the original's skill-based system and titles, gameplay is far more combat-oriented -- it is being promoted as an "Action RPG" -- and the game mechanics are simplified. The gameplay is like a mix of Dynasty Warriors and Monster Hunter, with just a pinch of Demon's Souls. Also differing from Mabinogi; Vindictus is far more story-driven; and at least half of the missions advance the main story. There is almost none of the Wide Open Sandbox quality that dominated the original game; and most of the side missions are in some way related to the main storyline, typically providing more detail, character development, or a different perspective.
While absent up to this point; as of the the "Rocheste Royal Cadet" expansion some of Mabinogi's "life skills" have been added to the game. These are predominantly crafting skills such as blacksmithing and tailoring; and are only available in the city of Rocheste, where they are obtained and trained similarly to combat skills. Despite this, combat is still the dominant focus of the game, and the crafting system is rudimentary by comparison to the original game.
Unlike the first game, and most MMORPGs for that matter, there are few common areas outside of towns; and no common combat areas. All fighting takes place in instanced dungeons that allow only small player parties of 1-4 to enter (though there are also raid instances such as the White Tyrant mission in Hoarfrost Hollow that allow for parties of up to 6-10 people).
An Adventurer Is You and Common Character Classes: Unlike the original game, Vindictus uses the common game character tropes. All players use one of 5 standard archetypes, slightly modified, as noted below. Some skill customization is possible, but primarily regarding weapons and armor, with a few exceptions. Each one will branch into one of two or three paths, depending on which skills are emphasized. Similar to the original game, all characters are capable of maxing out all skills available to them, effectively building a limited sort of hybrid character. This takes a considerably larger amount of time and effort, however, and most players concentrate on a more traditional build.
Fiona: A versatile warrior type, heavily to very heavily armoured, wielding a sword and shield. Essentially a Paladin without the healing ability; and a strong counterattack skill. Fiona eventually develops the ability to wield a warhammer instead of a sword. Her shield remains extremely important regardless of what weapon you choose. Can emphasize damage and Counter Attack skills (Jack), or defensive skills (Tank). With the Karok update, the Hammer Fiona (Jack) can almost match Spear Lanns in DPS.
Lann (Lethita in the Korean version): A highly agile DPS-oriented character who uses devastating combo attacks. Lightly to heavily armored and wielding two swords or a bifurcated spear; Lann relies more on evasion than armor, and is the fastest character. Can emphasize high-speed high-damage skills, making him something of a Glass Cannon; or build for a comparatively slower, lower-damage, but more survivable Lightning Bruiser.
Evie (Evy in the Korean version): Probably the most flexible character. A mage who barely escapes being a Squishy Wizard by virtue of a strong magical shield. Although theoretically capable of heavy armor, building the necessary skills is quite difficult, and she is typically barely to lightly armored. Evie starts out wielding a staff, and later on has the option to wield a Sinister Scythe. Depending on skill build, typically functions as a Nuker and Healer (staff-wielding and emphasis on magic skills), or a Jack (scythe-wielding and emphasis on damage and defense skills). As of the "Labyrinth" expansion, Evie's staff powers were changed, putting more emphasis on magic attack and defense, and somewhat nerfing her healing ability.
Karok (Kalok in the Korean version): Karok is a large humanoid, who functions as a Tank. He prefers very-heavy armor, and wields a battle pillar. Slow, but capable of absorbing a great deal of damage, and is a badass when it comes to grappling attacks, even putting the moves on bosses! Skill builds can emphasize damage-dealing abilities, or grappling and defense. Word is that some of his flashier skills are rather weak.
Kai (Kay in the Korean version): Kai is a lightly to heavily armored Ranger wielding a bow. He starts with a fast, low-powered, short-range short bow, but can alter it to longer-range, higher-powered, but slower long bow. His arsenal consists of multiple-arrow-firing, rapid-firing, and power-damage skills similar to certain bosses (Jagged Tooth and Singleshot).
Anti-Hero: Due to the setting's Black and Grey Morality, player characters are definitely anti- rather than traditional heroes. At early levels, they appear to be somewhere around Type III; but as the story progresses, it's quite clear that they're much more Type IV, and leaning toward Type V. Most of the NPCs range from Type III (Kirstie) to Type V.
Anti Poop Socking: Originally, "silver tokens" were required for all missions outside Perilous Ruins. Players received a very limited supply of "silver tokens" per real-time week; and after running a certain number of missions in one real-time day, the token requirements start increasing. This was partially subverted by the availability of "crimson" and "platinum" tokens in the cash shop; which were used in place of silver tokens, allowing players to continue playing (platinum tokens granting boosts to experience gain and drop rates). The token system was phased out with Karok's release; people with remaining tokens were compensated with NX cash.
The ability point system also discourages extended grinding, at least at low levels. The number of ability points received from completing missions is reduced each time the mission is completed -- to zero for the Perilous Ruins beginner missions, five for the lowest-level post-beginner missions, and continuing upward as the mission level increases. Early on, players obtain a skill called Meditation, which awards ability points after a certain amount of time. At the starting level, this is 1 point every real-time hour (the time interval can be reduced by levelling the skill, though this could be considered Awesome but Impractical as ranking it is extremely AP-intensive. Rank A would take a little over a year to pay off.).
Anyone Can Die: Late-game story is really starting to veer this way.
April Fools' Day: The April Fools 2011 event involved a Massive Multiplayer Crossover with various Valve series such as Team Fortress 2 and Portal.
Awesome but Impractical: Karok's boss moves (Boss Bash and Clash), while they are damned fun to pull off in the earlier boss battles, are considered garbage by the fanbase due to gradually losing their effectiveness in comparison to normal attacks and smashes and many later-game bosses being immune to them.
A number of high-powered or unique skills seem to fall under this trope for all character types. However, as of the Episode 7 expansion, all skills are capped well below maximum. The current highest rank achievable for any skill is 6 (skill ranks range from F at lowest to 1 at highest, in what appears to be reverse hexadecimal notation); with many of the flashier skills capped much lower (typically A, but as low as C in some cases). New episodes are expected to raise or remove the caps, allowing many of these skills to move from Awesome but Impractical to Awesome Yet Practical, or at least Difficult but Awesome. For example, raising the skill rank on Karok's Boss Bash (currently capped at rank A) may allow him to use it on some higher-level bosses which are currently immune.
Awesome Yet Practical: Two mutually-exclusive transformation skills are available to players: Paladin, which turns the character into a scion of holy strength, emphasizing defensive ability; and Dark Knight, a demonic engine of destruction that emphasizes damage.
Paladin and Dark Knight have been nerfed with the coming of Karok, but Awesome Yet Practical is still in effect. Taken Up to Eleven with the Second Forms (called White Knight and Black Knight respectively) which not only makes you look more impressive, but gives you access to even more devastating skills that look even cooler.
Bait and Switch Boss: The White Tyrant battle starts off with a small battle against few of the Kobolds you've been fighting in previous missions. Once you defeat them, a group with a big boss-style Kobold sitting around a campfire appears; which looks at first like a typical mini-boss fight (at least half the missions have mini-boss battles). When you approach him, however, the camera zooms in on the group, they give a battle roar, and then a giant bear crashes through the wall and mauls the Kobolds.
Barrier Maiden: Tieve is initially set up to be this. After all, she is an oracle maiden from the starting town who greets you after passing out, and is worried about the fact that she has never heard the goddess's voice. However, in Chapter 7, we learn that another oracle by the name of Seanna is supposed to be the chosen maiden, who we rescue from the Absurdly Spacious Sewers. This is a Double Subversion, as it seems the clergy are working against the prophesy. If they actually achieve the prophesy, they won't be needed any more and will no longer have the power they have now.
BFS: While none of the characters available at this time have one as a default weapon, some bosses do use them, and drop them when killed, allowing characters to pick up and play with them. Karok the Giant wields a massive Telephone Polearm as his default weapon.
Bishonen: All Lann characters. Kai is also expected to fit this trope when released.
Bifurcated Weapon: Lann is eventually able to wield what's called a Twin Spear; a double tipped spear (though some look more like swords) that has been separated down the middle, but is able to be reattached for some of his Smash attacks.
Black and Gray Morality: Starts with Fridge Horror, below; and goes rapidly downhill from there once you unlock Ainle and Nyle's storyline missions.
Bloodier and Gorier: The dev team makes full use of the physics engine to render realistic blood splatter effects. Killing mooks, and especially bosses, often leaves persistent blood splatters on the scenery; and some parts of Ainle have large bloodstains already. Achieving a critical hit with certain skills can cause temporary blood splatters on your screen, literally Painting the Fourth Wall.
Bowdlerized in the North American release. While the blood isn't quite gone, it's turned into a black stream, so as to not quite resemble blood.
Boss Rush: Several missions in several regions. Notable mention goes to Prepare for Counterattack in Hoarfrost Hollow, as it is the first Boss Rush mission. Other notable Boss Rush missions are The Blood Prince (Ainle), The Unveiling Truth (Ainle), and Proof of Courage (Hoarfrost Depths).
Also includes all Gauntlets, which pit your team against bosses from the region until you face the end boss. The bosses will have a random "title" prefix which adds special characteristics -- such as extremely high resistance to magic attacks, dealing more and taking less damage from either males or females, inflicting poison, moving several times faster, or the ability to spawn mooks from that zone which also have a chance of getting randomized prefixes of their own.
Breath Weapon: The Blood Lord and Irukul are the most notable examples.
Bribing Your Way to Victory: Mostly averted during the Beta period, compared to the first game; use of this trope has substantially increased for the official release. The main exception during beta was the "Goddess Grace", which is free only up to level 10, not available through an in-game source, and still the only option for solo players to revive in dungeons. Since then, a number of additional items have been added that provide boosts to player or equipment stats (the former expiring after 30 days). Other items are available which are greatly improved versions of in-game items (such as healing potions), protect equipment from breakage during upgrading/enchanting, or give ability points for improving skills.
As of Episode 8, a new item has been released which really plays up this trope: "Blessing Stones". There are 4 types, and they are available mainly through the cash shop, although there are ways to get them in game with much more difficulty. Used for "missions" (aka dungeon crawls), three different types increase your experience point gain, ability point gain, and item drop rate; with a fourth that increases all three.
Broad Strokes: The game chronicles the Backstory of Mabinogi. The legends probably don't mention the heroes having hundreds of identical clones running around town or completing the same battles dozens of times...
Call Forward: Being a prequel to Mabinogi Fantasy Life, there are quite a few of these, such as blacksmith Fergus. Players of the first game will also recognize Tieve's Oracle dress as the goddess Morrighan's dress.
Chainmail Bikini, Thong of Shielding, Stripperiffic, Bare Your Midriff, Cleavage Window: Unlike Mabinogi, Vindictus fully embraces these tropes, especially for its female characters. Not so much with the early equipment, but increasingly with higher-ranking gear. This is turned Up to Eleven with the premium shop "inner armor" (aka. underwear) for the female characters. Some of the high-level cloth armour sets for Evie look far more like lingerie than any sort of practical combat apparel.
As of "Labyrinth", inner armour no longer grants stat boosts, but while it did, it fully invoked this trope. For example, one set of female underwear consists of a full shirt and pants that resemble a padded motorcycle suit; while another set consists of a skimpy bikini top and bottom. Guess which one gave the higher stat boosts.
Charged Attack: All characters receive "Special Points" (SP) skills after levelling up and/or completing certain quests. These are of the "Collect" type, and require damaging enemies and stealing their life-force to fill up an SP gauge, either partially or completely. Once the gauge has been filled to a certain level (there are 4 levels), SP skills become available. Using a SP skill depletes a certain portion of the gauge, requiring it to be re-filled. Evie, Fiona, and Lann also can also aquire skills that give them "Hold" type charged attacks.
Evie, when wielding a staff, has "Focus" skills. There are four progressive charge levels, each requiring longer charging times, with different skills avaialable at each level. The time it takes to charge her most powerful skills makes them vary between Difficult but Awesome and Awesome but Impractical, depending on the particular Boss, and whether she's in a party or solo.
Lann and Fiona gain simple versions with their alternate weapons (spear and hammer, respectively). Activating the charge infuses their weapons with additional damage-dealing capability for limited time.
Ranger Kai, although not yet released, is expected to use a Charged Attack mechanic similar to Evie's Focus skills. Ranger bosses already use this type of Charged Attack for high-powered and multiple-arrow ranged attacks.
Clothing Damage, Breakable Weapons: Armor can be damaged after taking successive hits, lowering your defense. It can be repaired using a repair kit; and automatically restores after the dungeon is completed, unless the damage is too great. Weapons can also be damaged, but do not break until after the dungeon is complete. All equipment has a "durability" statistic, making armor more likely to break the lower this stat is; any equipment with 0 durability must be repaired before using.
Combos: Lann, Fiona, and Karok all have combo attacks, known as "Smashes"; which enables a special, high-powered attack to be triggered after a sequence of normal attacks are made. The type and power of the smash attack depends on how many normal attacks are made before triggering the combo.
The friendly fire actually seems to have some kind of logic system. Mobs of the same species and average size (such as gnolls) will not be able to hurt eachother with melee attacks, but ranged attacks can still hurt. Small Ankle Biter mooks like spiders and toads will not hurt one another, but larger enemies can accidentally hurt them. This entirely averted with bosses, though, which hurt everything smaller than them regardless of species. Bosses in multiple boss missions can also hurt each other; mainly with ranged attacks.
Continuity Nod: Fergus, the clumsy blacksmith that players of the first game loved to hate, is the blacksmith in the starting town of Colhen; and the only option for upgrading equipment and crafting certain materials, namely Ores. There are a number of side-quests involving him, and especially his penchant for iced strawberry brandy.
Counter Attack: One of Fiona's key skills, allowing her to unleash a powerful attack after guarding against an enemy's attack. It eats shields for breakfast, meaning that raising your Campfire skill is essential for using this against bosses.
Critical Hit: Par for the course, considering this is an RPG, but it's worth noting that Lann gets a powerful followup attack whenever he scores one (and he gets to do it again if that attack crits!). This is the main reason Spear Lanns are so powerful - they have a move that boosts their crit chance, and their smashes make heavy use of Death of a Thousand Cuts, so they get to do this a lot.
Cut and Paste Environments: All combat is in instanced dungeons, known as "missions," set in specific regions. Each region has a limited number of landscape/room/landmark features. Each time a dungeon is generated, it uses a semi-random selection of available features. Certain missions will invariably have certain features every time, and the boss rooms are always the same for each mission; but there will also be a few randomly-generated features as well.
This is played straight/averted with some later areas. The Ruins of Sanctity are pretty much the Perilous Ruins, with noticeable changes. Same with Hoarfrost Hollow and Depths, Prairie Entrance and the Fomorian Base. Some of the other areas are truly unique, namely Ainle, The Sewers, and Ortel Castle; but each of those reuses features for their individual missions.
The Catacombs copy Ainle. This is justified, as plotwise, you're supposed to be heading back to Ainle during the day.
Cute Witch: Evieor Sweetie Bear cloth armour sets.
Dangerously-Short Skirt: The Succubus boss has one, though she wears pantyhose to prevent a real Panty Shot. Fiona and Evie also have armour sets that feature these; but in their case, Panty Shots are relatively common occurrences, depending on what underwear they're wearing. A few are see-through as well.
As of the "Labyrinth" expansion, Evie acquired a skill, Mana Amber, that creates a large, octahedral, crystalline shield that offers complete invulnerability for a short time. Casting time is instant, but casting cost is high. Unlike most personal shields (and her normal magical shield), the character is fully immobilized inside (curled up in a ball); although the shield itself can be knocked around by enemies. It can also be shattered by higher tier enemies.
Defrosting Ice Queen: Gwynn. Well, early game anyway.
Difficult but Awesome: A few examples of this trope exist.
Spear-using Lann characters can use the "3960 Hurricane" skill; becoming a whirling dervish of death, and gaining the highest DPS in the game. The skill is highly effective at clearing a room of mooks, but against challenging bosses that aren't easily stunned, the skill is considerably less effective.
Evie's high-powered Focus skills, such as Blind Arrow, can deal a great amount of damage at longer range than her lower-level skills or basic attack. However, the long charging time makes it very difficult to use against higher-level Lightning Bruiser bosses; unless in a party with a Tank to draw aggro, or combined with a "trap" skill to hold the boss long enough to set up the skill.
Doppelganger Attack: The Labyrinth has increasingly powerful doppelgangers as the end bosses on each floor.
Dual-Wielding: Lann's specialty.
Duel Boss: Episode 8's Succubus and Shakarr from Episode 9 can only be fought solo.
An Entrepreneur Is You: While players cannot hold individual businesses as in the original game; they can make a lot of gold by selling high-quality-crafted, upgraded, and enchanted armor and weapons, food, and high-demand drops at the marketplace.
Everything's Worse with Bears: "Dethrone the White Tyrant." That is all.
Fake Longevity: As with many MMORPG games, there are a few examples of this; although some may be more appropriately classed as Fake Balance. To be fair, some examples may be intended as Anti Poop Socking devices.
Crafting skills (known as "Expertise" in-game) use a similar mechanic. Aside from the grinding required to earn sufficient experience and randomly dropped items to level the skill; certain special items are required for the final "test" crafting. These items are available only from a specific NPC, who will provide a maximum of 2 per real-time day, and only in exchange for a number of quest items. 20 of these special items are required for the first level alone; with higher levels requiring more.
Multiple side quests involve collecting a large number of rare item drops; some of which can only be obtained from randomly smashing up the scenery. There is nothing in the game that tells you this; although it's easy to find out from other players.
Other side quests involve collecting items from creatures (typically minibosses) that also spawn extremely rarely. Few of these are necessary for advancing the main storyline; but some are the only way to acquire higher-level equips.
Titles, most of which grant nominal improvements to stats, typically require large amounts of grinding of some sort -- killing mooks with weak attacks, using skills, picking up random drops, Mass Monster Slaughter Sidequest, and so on.
Fan Service: Both male and female characters get to be this once they start earning higher-level gear. Particularly strong with female characters Evie and Fiona. Further, armor can be (temporarily) destroyed in combat, leaving characters to fight in their underwear until it's repaired.
Tieve's Oracle dress in the prologue also seems designed to be this.
Five-Man Band: Deconstructed. There are five very different hero characters to select from, but very little personality is known about them. Aside from Karok being The Strong Man and Evie being either The Chick or The Smart Guy, the other three characters don't fit the classic 5 man band definition. Plus, most boats only take 4 players at a time.
Flavor Text: Vindictus has flavor text for all items. Oddly, it often describes effects that ought to have an effect on the gameplay but don't, notably curses.
Foe-Tossing Charge: One of Karok's smashes does this. Later on, he also gets a skill that allows him to damage enemies simply by sprinting into them.
Fragile Speedster: Lann starts out as the Glass Cannon version of this, having the highest DPS in the game; but he relies almost entirely on his dodge skill for defense, as he only gets weak cloth armour. He can develop the ability to wear heavier armour fairly quickly, becoming more resilient; but still remaining fairly fragile. With the right skill build; can develop into a Lightning Bruiser at high levels.
Freeware Games: Unlike some Allegedly Free Games, Vindictus is truly free to play; with all game content available to free players. Fancy underwear and other cosmetic avatar goodies are only available in the cash shop. There are also a number of play-enhancing items and equs; but none of them are game breakers or otherwise necessary. See Bribing Your Way to Victory above, and Revenue Enhancing Devices below.

Knight Templar: Gwynn is the first you meet; and most of the rest of the Royal Army you meet are even moreso.
Late Arrival Spoiler: The Episode 6 patch was known as "Colhen in Flames", thus spoiling the playerbase before they even had a chance to play it.
Lightning Bruiser: Wolfpack Boss Black Breeze in Perilous Ruins is the first example of this, although he and his buddies can be easily stunned with spears or Improvised Weapons. The first really nasty example is the Blood Lord in Ainle; who is not only very fast, but also teleports constantly as well.
Evie's quick evasion skill, magic shield, slow-but-powerful ranged magic attack, and healing ability make her the strongest starting character against the early game's Mighty Glacier bosses. Later, once Lightning Bruiser bosses begin to dominate, the slow casting time of her more powerful skills becomes a major handicap, as does her inability to wear heavy armour when faced with bosses who can destroy half or more of her magic shield in a single blow. She does have some skills to compensate; but they're tricky to use, and cost a huge amount of stamina.
By contrast, defensive characters Fiona and Karok are harder to solo with at low levels, particularly once bosses start using powerful "smash" attacks. Once they've had time to gain and level-up their defense and counter-attack skills; they can stand up to later game bosses much more easily than Evie; and Karok's special attacks can cause massive amounts of damage. Lann is pretty much the only linear character in the game.
Marathon Level: Resenlian's Labyrinth; which also features Copy and Paste Environments.
Mighty Glacier: Most bosses, except for the Lightning Bruisers. Most common in early levels.
Karok also functions as this, being the slowest player character.
Multi Mook Melee: The boss battle of the "Friends?" battle quest pits you against more than a hundred gnolls, 100 of which are Veteran Gnolls, plus one (fairly weak) boss near the end.
Nostalgia Level: Mabinogi fans are greeted by a quite familiar enemy in Episode 8. One of the raid bosses of the episode is none other than Glas Ghaibhleann, Generation 1's final boss from the original game. And if you thought he was tough before, he is utterly hardcore now! The Succubus also returns; although there's only one of her this time.
Notice This: Evil cores and drops from smashed scenery have big yellow arrows that say "Get!"; and enemy corpses that you can knock an evil core out of have red arrows that say "Finish!"
One-Hit Polykill: Heaving a big rock at a cluster of low-level mooks. Nearly all of Evie's magic attacks can do this; and at higher levels, some can take out large groups of more powerful mooks. One of Karok's smash attacks can do this.
Only Sane Woman: Shayla is a definite Type 3; being the only one who truly understands what's going on; and isn't obsessed with politics, religion, conspiracies, personal issues, or booze. Rather than fighting to change things, she just sits back and uses the situation to her own financial advantage.
Our Vampires Are Different: Certainly not your typical vampires. They're basically animated skeletons with small horns and fangs.
They also qualify as Most Annoying Sound because they constantly scream like crows with severe asthma. And unless you're Karok, you can't grapple them.
Palette Swap: Although common in Mabiniogi, it is mostly averted in Vindictus. Low level mooks in Perilous Ruins and Hoarfrost Hollow are divided mainly into melee, strong melee, and ranged damage types; but there are significant differences in their AI patterns. From Ainle onward, additional mook types are added, with substantially different attack styles (including suicide bombers). By contrast, spiders and wisps are essentially identical throughout the game.
Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: A passive form available in the motto you can give your character, which appears above your name as your party sails off toward their next mission. A few titles earned from quests or combat count as well.
Psycho Serum: Two kinds. Night Shade is an herb that can be distilled into a potion to make whoever drinks it Feel No Pain. There's also a more potent variant called Bloody Shade, which some of the bosses eat to significantly upgrade all of their attacks until it wears off. You get to test out the stuff yourself at one point; using it doubles your attack power, letting you plow through enemies like no tomorrow...until you bleed out from the constant hemorrhage it inflicts on you. And that's not the worst of it: in Episode 8 you end up fighting Ingkells and his men, who overdosed on Bloody Shade and mutated into berserk, mindless monsters. The Bloody Shade plant itself also qualifies as nightmarish: it's grown by watering Night Shade with Fomorian blood, looks like a misshapen fetus with one eye, and bursts into a blood-like liquid at the slightest touch.
Rage Helm: A couple of the helmets have scary faces on them, notably the Beholder Mask. It's also the Trope Namer, but the trope naming helmet isn't actually an example.
Rainbow Pimp Gear: Unlike Mabinogi, there is no function for choosing colours for equips during crafting. All colours are generated randomly. There is a dye function that uses in-game currency; but it's also completely random, and gets very expensive to use for higher-level gear. Fortunately, there are limits on available colours for any particular equip, combined with Real Is Brown as noted below; which means you won't end up looking too clownish.
As of the Titan expansion, cash shop "dye ampoules" have been added. These provide a semi-random selection of colours, and include far more vibrant colour than the dye shop; partially averting Real Is Brown. One side effect of the brighter colours is that players can now deliberately create seriously clownish-looking Rainbow Pimp Gear.
Real Is Brown: This is more due to the Source engine than an artistic choice; although being set in a Crapsack World, this may be at least partially deliberate. And, in the case of Rocheste, real is apparently a sort of sickly green.
As noted above, the new dye options allow for much brighter colours; making some characters look almost cartoonish against the gritty background.
Revenue Enhancing Devices: Although all of the main game content is available for free, items granting stat bonuses, better-quality versions of game items, additional storage slots, and cosmetic items are available in the premium cash shop. Most of these are time-limited, expiring in 30 to 90 days; but a few can be taken permanently, for a higher cost.
There are even several titles available that depend on smashing a large number of certain items; or picking up a large number of drops from smashed items.
Schizo-Tech: The entire world seems to be in a pre-medieval state; except for quite a number of suspicious examples, below. Possibly justified as A Wizard Did It and/or Magitek. Lampshaded, as the player is given several quests to investigate the various out-of-place technologies.
Self-Imposed Challenge: The Oaths of Honor are an official in-game form of this. There are many types, from beating a mission within a short time limit to beating a mission by yourself to completing a mission in your underwear. Clearing them gives you bonus EXP and mission points, and completing a certain number of these and other bonus missions is required in order to advance to higher-level missions.
Squishy Wizard: Averted by Evie at low levels, thanks to her strong magical shield and fairly weak bosses. At higher levels, when bosses start using more high-powered special attacks, and Lightning Bruisers become more common, she gets substantially squishier. Building skills that allow her to use heavier armour reduce her squishiness; but she has to sacrifice attack power to do so, as she gets substantial boosts to her damage from her cloth armour, and she's still weaker on defense than Fragile Speedster Lann.
As of the "Labyrinth" release, her magical shield was made into a passive skill which can be levelled, dramatically improving her defense at higher levels; but still leaving her weaker than other characters, due to her reliance on cloth armour for stat boosts.
Stupidity Is the Only Ainle? Why, go there with reckless abandon, of course! It gets one of the important NPCs killed
Taken for Grhe Paladin's Path Skills can do this to your enemies. Naturally, it doesn't work on bosses, but it can effectively tip a battle further in the favor of the Paladin.

With the release of Karok, the ratio is roughly equal. The release of Kai will provide an additional male character; but, as noted, this trope is still fully averted.
Stat Sticks:ly); so the staff becomes a literal stat stick.
Sticks to the Back: Evie's, Karok's, and Kai's weapons.

What Do You Mean Its Not Cosmetic: Most of the titles earned by a hero grant stat boosts, whether or not they are equipped. Seasonal titles, though, are pure bragging rights.
What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Subverted with the Guardian Spider in the prologue; and Tieve's love for spiders in general. There is even a quest to aquire a spider egg for Tieve to hatch and raise as a pet.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Played brutally straight. The goddess Morrigan has apparently mandated the genocide of all non-human sentient races, in order to bring about her version of Paradise. This causes quite a bit of angst for several NPCs, including the Oracle of the goddess, who don't understand why she would command such a thing (or even if she really did).
Subverted with Karok and Kai. They aren't technically human, but are close enough to fight on the same side as the goddess.
In Chapter 8, characters we already met, Ingkells and Silberin, along with their followers, changed from humans into fomors.
Wolfpack Boss: Most notably, the "Revenge" mission from Perilous Ruins; which involves fighting two bosses, one melee and one ranged, at the same time. Another unlockable mission in that region has you battling Black Breeze and his two buddies, who are Lightning Bruiser werewolves that define That One Boss.
World of Buxom: Notably averted with both player characters and NPCs. Even the bustiest character, Shayla, is still well within the realm of realism.
A few armour and clothing sets noticibly enhance female characters' bustlines, most infamously the "Homebound" clothing set; putting them within reach of this trope. Most of these are uncommon, however, as they're essentially low-level gear that can only be aquired with high-level crafting skills or by paying exhorbitant amounts of gold in the marketplace.
If done while standing still, she will take a regal pose and lift up her left hand to snap her fingers with her eyes closed. Mark of Death is weaker and can only tag 3 enemies of the same type, while Bloody Thread is at least twice as powerful and can tag 4 enemies of any type.
Zettai Ryouiki: Evie's outfits frequently have short skirts or hotpants; often with stockings reaching from mid-calf up to mid-thigh (or higher). Some premium shop female underwear sets also have stockings, which can create this effect for armour sets that feature short skirts (common at higher levels for both Evie and Fiona).

What happened? ’s attitude toward the Jews changed. What happened? The pasuk does not give us any hint at what was behind this change in policy.
I n “’baim (literally ‘who are coming’) to Egypt.” “asher ba’u“?
Rav Mordechai Ilan suggests that this word tells us something about the mind-set of these initial people that came down to Egypt. They did not view themselves as permanent residents or permanent citizens. They viewed themselves as temporary visitors who were just passing through.
“This is not my land. These are not my people. This is not my culture. I am just passing through, temporarily.” That was the key to their success.
When Yo? They multiplied, they became many, they became strong. The pasuk says “Va’ya-tzmu b’meod, meod” [They became very very mighty].
The pasuk should actually read “Va’ya-tzmu meod meod.” The word ‘meod’ means very. What does B’meod mean? What is the letter ‘Beis’ ‘meod’ also means money, as in, “A u’vchol meodecha (with all your money)” [Devorim 6:5]. Chaza”l tell us that the word ‘meod’ can mean physical goods and material property.
The Kli Yakar says that “Va’ya-tzmu b’meod” is telling us that the second generation in Egypt became very mighty because they became very wealthy and affluent. The second generation felt that ‘they made it’ and they became part of Egyptian society. They no longer saw themselves as baim (now coming) to Egypt.
“The land became filled with them.”!“A” [Shemos 1:22] Where did he get this idea from? Isn’e?
How ironic! This plan was supposed to kill the savior of Israel. Not only did thisoah’s expert advisers, not kill the savior of Israel, the plan had the opposite effect. Moshe was put into the river. He was fetched by none other than Pharoah’s daughter who took this Moshe into — of all places — Pharoah’soah’s house. He was supported by Pharoah’s money. He was educated at Pharoah’s expense. He was saved by this very Pharoah that thought he was going to kill the Jewish savior.
Kli Yakar — R. Shlomo Ephraim ben Aaron of Luntschitz (Poland) (1550- 1619) Torah commentary first published in Lublin, 1602.
R. Shlomo Ganzfried — 1804-1886; Hungary. Most famous for authoring the “Kitzur Shulchan Aruch”.

Speaking at the anniversary UN General Assembly, the US president said that Washington would not hesitate in terms of the use of force if anyone threatened At the same time, Obama noted that now is the time when it is necessary to talk about assistance against "common threats."
Obama perked up noticeably at the moment when he started talking about Russia. Once again, announcing that Russia "annexed the Crimea," Obama added that Moscow "violates international law." It should be noted that this is said by the president of the country, in which at the legislative level the term “international law” is completely absent.
The US president said that the statements about the beginning of the Cold War are greatly exaggerated, and that the sanctions against Russia are not an end in themselves, but added that Washington "will do everything to protect the integrity of Ukraine." According to Obama, Russia is already "facing serious difficulties" due to the support of "separatism in the south-east of Ukraine."
The ruble fell heavily. The Russian economy is experiencing serious difficulties. There is a massive migration of highly educated Russians.
Is he about Ms. Gaidar? ..
He did not miss the opportunity for Obama to attack China, whichhina Sea.
The dictator in Syria continues to kill tens of thousands of his fellow citizens. This is the problem of all mankind. We cannot close our eyes to this.
According to Obama, Assad "applied chemical weapon"and" began with the dispersal of the protest actions ". At the same time, there is no evidence of Assad's use of chemical weapons. Or" evidence of Obama in the style of "Powell's test tube"? ..
Immediately Obama said destroy ISIS.
Peace of mind in Syria comes when the people of Syria conclude a peace agreement.
Obama made it clear that he was ready to support Russia and Iran on the question of the operation against ISIS, but said that “post-war” Syria should not look like “pre-war”, hinting non-transparently that Assad should leave anyway.
ISIS, released from Iraq and Syria, is fighting and engaging in aggressive activities in order to exist. We must resist this so that between the words "Islam" and "terrorism" no longer put an equal sign.
Obama announced that the United States is increasing the quota for Syrian refugees who can arrive on American territory.
Another US president said that the suppression of peaceful protests by force - a demonstration of the weakness of the state. Interestingly, he recalled at the same time about the events in Ferguson? ..
Wedemocracy!
Lavrov at that moment was briefly shown, he only smirked and shook his head. With a look of ignoring.
Th"
Hypocrite Obama!
Check him in a black dupa! Niger offended me!
He called me dumb!
It seems to me too. I'm not going anywhere.
How many classes do you have behind you? There is no word "right now" in the Russian language, and it is customary to put an end to the end of the sentence. Read more and write less. Do not embarrass yourself.
There is no word "right now" in Russian, but in the end ...
Just like there is the word "Right now."
Try at least a word here to replace with "literate".
"Sul, and Sul!
no gugo! "
Does not work? That ...
Is it from the dictionary of Dahl, Ozhegov or some kind of Dusi from "Tmutarakini"?
To welcome illiteracy as minuses is to openly show one’s dislike for one’s own country and not to respect oneself in the first place.
A competent, respectful person, writes the word Country, WITH CAPITAL "O" ...
This is from the folk language. You can also "schaz". And Dusya from T'murokani is from Vysotsky Vladimir Semenovich. I am ashamed not to know. Oh yes, you are a young lady from the century before last, Uso understandable. And the disadvantages are that the topic is generally different. And do not teach someone, it is better to do it yourself.
This is not a shame. It should be a shame for starting a sentence with a small letter, for a sentence without a dot at the end of the “thought,” your general's “mustache,” “right now,” and much more. There is a folk oral language and writing. You can not mix these concepts. I do not teach anyone here, but draw attention to the blatant illiteracy in the letter, as the destruction of the Russian World matrix, which I defend here, unlike you minus. The chaos in the head begins with the first step. Unfortunately, Ivan Ivanovich cannot learn what Vanechka did not learn. Either write correctly (at least try to avoid blatant AshYbAK), or do not write at all. If you allow half measures, let it go on the brakes, then in the end, the great Russian language will simply degenerate. Errors are eaten into the subconscious, transmitted to others, like a virus. A person is already beginning to think that it is written that way and it cannot be otherwise. This is already some kind of degradation of consciousness. Outright illiteracy needs to be fought. And the topic on the forum is not important.
Sly, you're right, the words "right now" in Russian there is no, there is a word "SHCHAZ" . Remember this, pliz, before teaching others RUSSIAN LANGUAGE !!!
In vain Obama escaped to the states, would have sat on his palm tree in his Kenya, but the raven scared, and so the whole world would laugh ........
You still have to climb a palm tree. Not every Negro can do it. Besides jokes. They will lie under a palm tree, swell with hunger and wait until the bananas fall off.
MOTIV SONGS - SAME ... BUT WORDS ARE ALREADY FEW OTHER .... Obama declared and consolidated the fact that two coalitions were formed in the world ... The early ... educated pro-American front seems to be against terrorism. IS BASED ON CONCEPTS .. .and could not succeed ... because more supported those with whom they proclaimed the struggle ...
In contrast to the Obama front, a REALLY LEGITIMATE FRONT AGAINST TERRORISM was created on the basis of interstate agreements!
In the USA, they started to understand this ... and in the overtones it was also heard by OBAMA ... he will be forced to join the LEGITIMATE FRONT OF FIGHTING IG ... then the whole world will understand the Wrong ... contrary to all international laws ... US POLICY!
Hence the question ... will Obama go to such a world confusion ... threatening him with the loss of his face? At the same time ... no other way out of the trap ... into which the Yankees fell ... MANY QUESTIONS ... WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS ...?
Uh ... Brainless chicken gave birth to them And they say "mom, mom" !!!!!
Vladimir Vladimirovich has already taken off his jacket, and now someone will answer for the market !!!
... with chalk, sprinkled from a bag.
I listened to him. The holy truth - you can take a black man out of Africa, or from the ghetto ... but neither Africa nor the ghetto can be taken out of a nigga.
And it’s permissible to ask Beitary - why was Ronald Reagan so great?
Master Iyoda is somehow more insightful.
Senator Palpatine is more brutal.
Everything else is a riffraff.
Who does Ronald compare with? With a cowboy?
Ronald Reagan pulled America out of a deep economic crisis in which Jimmy Carter plunged America, restored the US superpower status after humiliation in Iran and defeated the USSR in the Cold War. In my opinion, enough to be considered a great president ...
And the condom used.
Iran, like Beh, generally belonged to a dozen years ago.
And the victory of the USSR-the apotheosis ....
I propose to the Hollywood freelance actor suffering from dyslexia and memory impairment, and to give a prize to a deceased person from Alzheimer's ...
Shnobelevskaya, for example.
America knew much more worthy Presidents ... Roosevelts, Fords, Kennedy.
The people, minus the questions and answers - WRONG.
The man gives his answer.
What was Kennedy good at? A completely mediocre president, whom Nikita broke in the Caribbean crisis. If not for the murder, no one would have remembered him.
Duc, damn it, I already wrote about the cons above ... why would I begin to minus my interlocutor, huh? We don’t write the gospel, no ....
Kennedy ... for what? Do you know the story about silver dollars ?. About untying the Fed? About the complete financial independence of the United States?
This, of course, is all of the published material - but still interesting.
And about the Caribbean crisis and someone broke .... here opinions differ radically.
Our base in Cuba did not represent any real military advantage. It was easily choked by the forces of a couple of aviation regiments from Florida.
Rather, it was an act of intimidation.
But, George Kennedy, God grant him good memory, made the right conclusions, and did not shake the military component.
Common sense prevailed. As they say. And how it will be right.
From the worst and normal, Kennedy chose - NORMAL.
Reagan chose - NUCKLE. Star Wars.
The USSR did not fall apart .... the USA would fall apart.
Who should I consider to be correct?
And under Ford - in general .... The Union - Apollo, the first joint space program.
Ford ... or not Ford?
The collapse of the USSR was a surprise to the United States.
The economy of the USSR was growing before perestroika, there was no growth rate of growth (the Japanese economy has been in this state for 15 years already). Nobody drove the USSR out of Afghanistan, the decision was made for reasons of domestic policy.
The collapse was a purely internal affair, and there was no need to attribute the victory, which was not, to the clown Reagan.
I agree with everything except the last thesis.
The collapse of the USSR wa.
Of course, here the cat wept, Ronald Reagan’s personal merit, he was a Hollywood actor and supposedly his economic measures, called "Reaganomics", were repeatedly analyzed including and American experts with very mixed assessments.
Gorbachev contributed to the collapse of the Union, either out of naivety or out of vanity, and most likely both.
As for Washington’s plans for destabilization in the USSR, they have not stopped since the Yalta Conference for a single moment.
Just because of the coincidence of many factors, this happened very quickly and to some extent even unexpectedly for the hawks from Washington.
No, I’m not going to minus it, I’m breaking it down, but to demote it to the corporal (“it’s better to have a daughter about ... a ride than the corporal’s son”) - as an option.
Someone is interested in getting an extra star, and someone just wants to talk, express their opinion (or outrage). By the way, when you carefully read the comments - it's all transparent.
Yes, yes, yes. And the main thing is that the "exceptional" are ready to accept the terms of this "isolated" president.))) He’s insistently seen that the whole world is waiting for his speech, just as they are not waiting for the "exceptional".
The worst threat to the USA is the homosexuals who serve in their army !!!!
Such a "miracle" will cling to the soldier at the post and the khan of vigilance !!!!
In 2012, the buggers raped 26 000 soldiers and officers of the US Army ...
So run away, comrade pederastists of the American army! Let's catch up and overtake the result of 2012!
It is ironic, but positive for the Russian Federation from the speeches of Ban Ki, Duda and Obama-ZERO.
and you were expecting something else? The main thing will be tête-à-tête. and this is all talk.
How's Obama's regulation? Filed in 15 minutes? I just came from work, I didn’t see it.
Pulled tyagomotin much longer.
One can’t expect more from the performance of Lame Ducks, one has successfully proved that he is a puppet and a rag, while he is smoked and there is nothing to say about Obama, he and his own are not loved.
This recorded so many cases? It’s just that not every victim is ready to declare what he did, far from everyone.
If we compare his speech with this news, then financial tycoons, in order to save their position, launched the flywheel of a new world massacre. Obama is just officially, bluntly voiced.
I watched Putin’s speech. He was noticeably worried that it was no wonder. But he didn’t put it in the eyebrow, but in the eye!
Lavrov had a look with which doctors in special medical institutions of a closed type look at the next Napoleon. "Well, well, tell me ... Nothing, Napoleons and we are not so quiet after a little shot of sulfur ..."
And, is it necessary, Our President will meet with this, so to speak, far from an unpleasant resident of our planet who, to put it mildly, is a rather mediocre manager of a bad country known to everyone ??? There are people even smarter there.
Obama was not convincing without chewing gum!
Rather, with the look of a psychiatrist examining a schizoid ...
So the countries of the anti-Russian coalition have been determined, and as I understand it, they understand that they don’t particularly intend to fight, their enemy is Russia, there are mineral resources and territories.
Smiled Ukraine, clowns without clown hoods.
A campaign during the demarche of Ukrainian clowns at the UN, the flag was selected, crumpled like a rag, and the company of clowns was brought under dirty hands.
Oh hypocrite ...
We hope, believe, wait.
GDP has a head start ... it really can roll out claims to the world leadership of a very tanned Yankee leader ... for he knows the theses of Obama's speech ...
Blacks start and lose! ..
For, not in their turn began ...
"ISIS emerging from Iraq and Syria" ...
Well not creatures? They themselves created this monster, and now they say as if it appeared out of nowhere !!!
“Mass migration of highly educated Russians is going on” ...
Is this what he means, Mashka Gaidar, Ponomarev, Chirikov, Artem Trinity, Chichvarkin and Khodorkovsky or what?
So there is highly educated and does not smell! We can give them such "highly educated" kindness "a couple of trains, and immediately the air in Russia will become cleaner !!!
According to the online mailbox, Obama left the rostrum one and a half minutes ago. We will wait until the first comments of politicians appear.
Kerry has already talked with Lavrov. While Obama spoke, Kerry yawned, but the Cubans did not listen to him at all.
In Russia1, a discussion began on Obama's speech.
De not thanks to democracy, but through the Second World War.
And the first one too.
Putin needs a skating rink through Obama’s speech, exposing him as the laughingstock of all. Moron dreaming of world domination.
The refugee quota will increase. Yeah, like up to as many as 10 000 people, this is help from a superpower. And considering that it is the reason for the resettlement of refugees, it is more like a mockery.
And should refugees get to the United States obviously on their own and at their own expense? Then it’s not just like, but the most savage mockery is.
Respect to the author. Dissected an eared monkey according to all the rules. How she already got it! From one kind of sick.
They would have listened, they would have gone out with obscene language. Sheer self-protrusion of herself, the Yankees as a NATION and the United States as a STATE OF TRUE DEMOCRACY. A sort of etalon of democracy and statehood.
Mentoring and edifying tone at the level of primitive: the USA - the arbiters of the fate of the Earth ... only they decide what is good and what is bad! Those who disagree - these are the difficulties of those who disagree - will receive a club on their head and immediately come to their senses ... they will understand where their place is in the stall ...
That's just ... will these other undisguised hints of threats, other countries? After all, these are not the nineties unipolar times ...
Obama Announces US Increases Quota for Syrian Refugees Who May Arrive in US Territory Well, let's say on a rubber boat you won’t swim to Miami. The rich fighters who stole during the war will be given a residence permit. They have it, if you keep a specific amount in American banks, you will get citizenship without problems.
Lord, transfused from empty to empty. He praised continuously, to the nausea of democracy and the United States, barely listened!
They really boycott each other !!!
Yes, all the bolts have already been put on him ...
If the outskirts are the closest ally (and the rabbit and parsley say so) and the SGA will not “hesitate,” then Husseinich made me fun, if not funny. Although, when they talk about it at the UN level, it becomes sad.
About relished the capabilities of his army, and the superiority of the Amarican nation .... in general, nothing new. And in the front row she looked into the owner’s mouth, suffocating in servile delight.
The ruble fell sharply. Economy Russia "
As if our US ruble had not been crushed accidentally, so that they would not be confused underfoot. As for these migrants, for the trash "tablecloth road." "
Maybe fellow citizens? Only not their own, but the state hires.
"Peace in Syria will come"
Tranquility in Syria will come when the people of Syria, under the leadership of Assad and with the help of Russia, Iran and China, will throw out jackals and mercenaries from their land. And peace on Earth will come when the robbery state, the USA, finally collapses.
ISIS, emergingpredatorythe words “Islam” and “terrorism” are no longer equated. "
Yes, yes, just like its owner is the United States. It has long been known that there is an equal sign between the words of the United States and terrorism.
We have become the strongest nation in the world thanks to democracy!
And you wanted something different from a black man? He's not even a native Indian.
Two times - “That the girl could go to school”, probably at that time everyone should have cried. In Ukraine, in Syria, Libya, ......, the former Yugoslavia.
Is it not about those girls that Pigushenko spoke about: they will be sitting in basements.
He is not an Indian at all, not indigenous or dairy! He is a nigga!
As my classmate said, to unnecessary requests: "Can't you spit chewed carrots on your navel?" This black puppet that she will be shown on the prompter, she says. Putin would have taken Belarusian bananas (Lukashenko boasted that the harvest of bananas is now good in Belarus), he treated the monkey, otherwise the poor one was haggard.
Well, what to take from roofing material? So the Pole peels water!
Now there is another misunderstanding - the Pres of Przecii pours a foul-smelling substance on the ears of listeners.
That is, in translation from the diplomatic, we will bomb anyone we want. And do not care about any contracts, norms and promises.
What else could Babama say? "Great" SAS, as people can walk quietly through the streets and celebrate their religious needs, and girls go to school ...
I listened on the air, nothing expressive, I did not discover America. Waiting for OUR to say. I hope that the speech will not be so lengthy, but it will be vivid and to the point.
Talking chimpanzee ?! Evolution, however!
now someone is plucking feathers.
P
You are right, well done! This is the basis for Russia’s funeral of the West. For the Zionists, I’ll say separately that Mashiach will not be in this situation, but Orthodoxy will be before the Second Coming of Christ. That is, Mashiach will spend his life as an ordinary rascal.
You can briefly convey all your impressions: Ponte and threats. True, we are not afraid of such threats and spit on such show-offs. Obama is shallow, it even became uncomfortable because the world depended on such dolls. He is a doll, he also has dolls. Wondrous world!
Lukashenko: why did they kill Hussein and crucify Gaddafi? Gentlemen, maybe enough?
Speechplenary meeting of the UN Summit on Sustainable Development.
The policy of hegemony, national egoism leads to the widespreadn. As a result, we lose confidence in each other. An example of open political rudeness, lies and crimes against humanity on the surface. Let's recall the recent facts.
Under the pretext of having nuclear weapons in Iraq, well-known states decided to democratize Iraq. And where is the nuclear weapon? Where is democracy in Iraq? Why was the president of Iraq killed? Where is that country in general and what is the future of the Iraqi people? On the territory of this state has people become better off? No. You guilty will say that you were mistaken, you should stop. But again, no, let's go further. Started with Tunisia and ended with Libya. The scenario is the same. Crucified President Gaddafi, destroying the state. Has it gotten better in Libya? No. And where is Libya in general as an integral state?
Gentlemen, maybe: why? Why are you killing people? Why overthrow the incumbent president? How did he not please you? Moreover, the massacre in this country,you strive for. Just in case from this rostrum of the UN General Assembly.
McCain, as head of the US Senate arms committee, was informed by a general last week about the success of training militants for the "moderate Syrian opposition."
- FIVE MILLION DOLLARS was spent.
- Prepared SIX TEN militants. At 8 million bucks for the preparation of each.
- Of these, five people really began to fight with Assad. The rest fled. And some in ISIS ...
And you say - we have cuts here ... kickbacks ... Learn how to cut and roll back ...
The ruble fell sharply. The economy of Russia is experiencing serious difficulties. Mass migration of highly educated Russians takes place.
He said nothing new. We are exceptional and we will determine who is a good guy and who is not. And we are the masters of the whole world. Oh well. In general, they don’t agree, IMHO, about anything. Not to roll mattresses in Syria, especially in the air. Some kind of infection will fly into the air defense zone. And do not be offended, hegemons.
Moreover, their place at the bucket, along with the bucket.
After listening to Obama’s speech, I didn’t hear anything new. Arrogance and disrespect for the states that do not listen to Uncle Sam. In short, who is not with us is against us. And changes in what is happening in Ukraine and Syria, and indeed in the world not worth it ...
Something I did not notice respect for anyone. The praises of themselves, the American NATION and American democracy.
On the count of this black-assed mud "ka.
The thirst for profit obscures Americans' eyes and brains ceased to work in other directions. Frequent change of presidents leads them away from criminal liability for orders to start bombing and murders. Evil living in the USA hinders the development of civilization. It no longer carries sulfur, here a persistent cadaveric smell has settled. The smell of decomposition of the physical and moral.
Not US Security.
Not the integrity of the country.
And the interests.
Just INTERESTS, kiddy gun!
Use of force in advocacy - this is, damn it, any reason: oil in a foreign country, industry in a foreign country, minerals, emigration of scientists, low labor costs, diamonds, competition in the military sphere, space, flight to Mars ...
All his speech can be compressed with phrases: "..we are the chief and we will be the main thing ..". But it seems that their funny song will end soon, and they will plunge into the cesspool with garbage to the top of the head.
The question remains open. Russians do not give up.
Something in the picture, Uncle Sam outweighs ... To give balance, or better, to change the balance, you would need to add a pendal ...
parsley like that. America wants to cover up everything that she did in Iraq, etc. calling on Russia as if to destroy the terrorists ig. come to a common denominator that two states with nuclear capabilities and powerful weapons are doing the same thing. but we know that this is not so. when America floods.
""...
Again, anti-pyarism ... It would be better to immediately say straightforwardly: "I'm dumber than flocks of stupid Kenyan sheep mixed with camels" ...
I am proud. Vladimir Vladimirovich puts everything on the shelves. Nobody walks in the hall ........
when America floods.
Poroshenko and Obama “CNN journalist Nick Paton Walsh covering the activities of t witnessed a short meeting of Barack Obama with President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.” - Several online media report referring to the CNN website.
During the eventUN headquarters, who tried to approach Barack Obama, but was stopped by the security team ofgreeted Petro Poroshenko with the words: “When will you invite me to rest in Crimea, Mr. Poroshenko?”, After which he proceeded with Lucketoft to his office.
The security guards conducted a discouraged and somehow smiling President of Ukraine before leaving the UN headquarters. ” - Informs the leading CNN Christian Amanpur.
According to Obama, Assad "used chemical weapons" and "began with the dispersal of protests." In this case, evidence of Assad's use of chemical weapons has not yet been submitted. Or "Obama" evidence in the "Powell test tube" style? ..
Obama immediatelystroy ISIS.
Why are they with Gunpowder plumped together ??? Russia is to blame for one that the Islamic State is "destroying", the other a little more than a year ago, almost with a nod, thanked us for the destruction of the Syrian chemical weapons and "again for a pittance" ???
Obashka is an inflated, self-righteous turkey ... His speech is a set of agitation and not specific, useful for the current situation.

Our last big project is complete! New floor, wallpaper, and sink vanity for the first floor bathroom!
We replaced the brown linoleum with herringbone marble, installed a new vanity with a Craigslist Rohl faucet, put up wallpaper leftover from our Main St apartment (hey, it's really hard to find wallpaper you want to keep for years), put up an old Venetian glass mirror from ebay, and bought a Turkish cotton shower curtain at Home Goods. As a finishing touch, we also installed a solid wood door to match the other 1919 doors in the house. We are working on phasing out the few hollow-core doors that were installed sometime in the 1980s or '90s, and this one had to go for the room to feel complete!

Started in 2008 by Anup Gayen and Mojca Gayen, the Piali Ashar Alo School has over 160 girl students. The school gives free education and provides free midday meals.
Piali is a small remote village located in the south of West Bengal, whicharms trade to trafficking of young girls, the village is no place for young children. Besides, it is also infamous for its child marriages.
But over the past year, things have changed for good. Piali has now turned into a haven for all the young girls, thanks to Anup Gayen (45) and Mojca Gayen (38). The couple has been determined to change the face of this crime village into a safe haven for young girls.
Anup and his wife Mojca, who is from Slovenia, have built Piali Ashar Alo School (Light of Hope), which is workingThe school currently houses over 160 girl students from nursery to Class 8, and most of them belong to broken families, with alcoholic fathers and estranged mothers.
The Piali Ashar Alo is also a school with a difference. Unlike a regular school, it focuses moreconducts classes in music, dance, drama, arts, and sports, and also nurtures students by giving them free mid-day meals and free tuitions as well.
It has also introduced courses like tailoring and beautician courses for women in the region. Further, it also organises computer and spoken English classes frequently.
According to The Telegraph, Mojca contacted people in Slovenia for help after the school started. One of them mobilised school children, who collected newspapers in bulk and sold them to raise Rs 4.5 lakh. The couple used the money to buy a plot for the school, and also made use of the funds to conduct free tuitions and to pay teachers.
In addition, two German NGOs - Christlicher Entwicklungsdienst and FAMI - helped the couple build school infrastructure.
Today, each student - from kindergarten to class 8 - is either sponsored by an individual or an institution, and most of the sponsors are based abroad, reports The Telegraph. In addition, students receive uniforms, stationery, and a monthly package of hygiene aid from the school.
It wasn’t an easy ride for the couple, as Anup and Mojca had to go from door-to-door,ol. However, things changed with time and families started sending their children to school.

So far Chessnut still has horns… although they are loose. The banding appears to be working as planned, with a couple minor draw backs. First, she cut milk production by about 20%. Which makes sense, but not something we had on the radar or we may have waited for this procedure.
Secondly, even with her weakened horns she still has a habit of sticking her head through the fence and getting stuck. As you can image that is not a good thing. The first time she about pulled her left horn off before it was ready. Blood was flowing down the side of her face and it looked pretty bad.
By the time we researched what to put on it the bleeding had stopped and she seemed to be OK. Cayenne pepper is suppose to help stop bleeding by the way. It’s still untested here, but at least it is another trick in the animal care book if you don’t have the regular blood stop powder on hand. This all happened back on the 18th. She did get her other horn caught a few days ago, but it was not near as bad.
As of today, one horn is completely laid down on her head and the other is loose. It appears the bands are working, albeit slow. If we can keep her out of the fence we may have her all healed up before fly season!
One disappointing piece of information we figured out and are not sure yet if this is a difference in the breeds or in the age, but our two 1/2 Alpine’s horns are fully connected to the skull. There is no cartilage space like we found on the Nubian. This means those instructions about filing the bone down before putting the bands on will apply to these ladies if we decide to go that route.

You might wonder: where's the room for improvement in high-end binoculars?What specifications are manufacturers scrambling to improve and are the differences at the top range ($2000-$3000) even noticeable?
Were they Brighter?
Did the binoculars have any drawbacks?
Only you can say!Some people on social media lamented, why would I spend $2,600 on a new binocular?
Right now, the ZEISS Victory SF is a best-in-class model that was exclusively designed for birding. The lighter weight and center of balance are two great features that, when combined with the wide field of view (even on the 10 bys) and high light transmission, could make them an excellent choice for you. Keep in mind that the value of a finely constructed binocular is partially based on the fact that it's highly engineered in R&D for years before being hand crafted in tightly controlled conditions at the ZEISS factory in Germany (not China!
Is the 1.1 rotation part of the defined specs for your older bins?

The hippocampus, nereid, or “water horse,” as it is colloquially known, is an aquatic mammal resembling a dolphin and a horse. It makes its home in and around The One Sea, along rocky shorelines, where it dines on crustaceans hiding in the reefs. The species is few in number, bordering on extinction, and is very shy, keeping primarily to its own kind. Devoted fishermen can go their entire lives without seeing a nereid in the wild, but those that do regard it a good omen. Not surprisingly, most people living far from the Sea believe the nereid is a myth.
IN CAPTIVITY: Because of their rarity, grace and beauty, only the highest ranked members of Hedonian society are allowed ownership of the nereid, and even then, the animal must be maintained with utmost care. As a sign of their station, commanders of the legion will use them as mounts, never straying far from the coast, so that the animal not suffer from dehydration. Nereid-themed symbols appear throughout Hedonian society, on banners, crests and armor.

The flag of Japan is called the Nisshoki or Hinomaru. Around 2,700 years ago, the sun goddess Amaterasu founded the country of Japan. It is believed that the emperor of Japan, Jimmu, was Amaterasu's son and, therefore, he is known as the "Son of the Sun." Japan has always been known as the "Land of the Rising Sun" due to its founder, and traditions says that the first flag was used in 701. This flag has the sun spot that is still used today, but the sun-disc flag was adopted as the country's official flag until February of 1870.
When the Japanese prepared to enter World War II, the country's flag became an even greater symbol of solidarity and strength and propaganda. Japanese soldiers could often be seen eating umeboshi, which is a red Japanese plum, embedded into a rectangle of white rice. On the day Japan surrendered to Allied forces, September 9, 1945, the country lowered its flag During the occupation of Japan, special permission was needed for the country to fly its flag.

Autologous vs. Allogeneic Stem Cell Therapy – Which One to Choose?
24. October, 2018 08:00 24. October, 2018
As you already know, stem cell therapy in veterinary medicine is not in the future anymore – it is available and has been used to cure animals since 2003. The same goes for the efficiency of this kind of treatment – it has been proven in many cases and studies that the success rate of animal stem cell treatment is quite high in comparison with other available medicine – up to 85%, and, in some cases, even up to 90%. That is why we will take a look at these two – autologous vs allogeneic stem cell therapy.
Conditions to treat in animals with Stem Cells
In veterinary medicine, both allogeneic and autologous stem cell treatments are being used for:
successful animal recovery after soft tissue injuries, like tendon and ligament ruptures in dogs and horses;
for joint problems, like arthritis, osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, joint inflammation in dogs and horses;
Allogeneic stem cell treatments becoming more popular
However, lately, allogeneic stem cell treatments havebe. And there are a few reasons behind that.
Allogeneic stem cell therapy, on the other hand, can be ordered and delivered to the patient in 2–3 days, since the treatment containing the donor’s stem cells is already made and ready for
As for veterinarian use, allogeneic stem cell treatments can be stored for up to 12 months in the right conditions. This means that veterinarians can be ready when the injury appears.
Secondly, it might have a better efficiency rate.
When stem cells are derived from patient-animal, there is a chance that its own stem cells are not very active, or they might be damaged or simply of bad quality. In comparison, when stem cells are derived from a donor animal, scientists look for a young, healthy and powerful donor animal to make
In some cases, this could be a deal-breaker, because in both human and veterinary medicine there are cases when an invasive procedure is done to a patient has some risks, and in some cases, any kind of invasive procedure is nearly impossible to apply.
And the last, but not the least – affordability.
The product thatfor marketing authorization is an allogeneic (donor-derived)
Stem cell therapy is emerging as another weapon in the veterinarian’s arsenal,
joining the numerous pharmacotherapeutics, surgical procedures, and mechanical devices employed to help patients return to full function or at least a more comfortable life. And, with this significant event, allogeneic stem cell therapies for animal treatment are bound to grow and become more popular and available for both veterinarians and horse and dog owners.
EU-based Biotechnology research company Medrego offers both Autologous and Allogeneic stem cell treatments for horses and dogs. The product is being prepared right after doctors order and can be delivered within Europe in 24-48 hours.
Medrego also continuously works developing new ideas in collaboration with best Universities, as well as for future-proof stem cell product development in collaboration with professional veterinarians. To become partner or client of Medrego, please get in touch!

47th Tartu Maraton – the biggest race in Estonia and the whole Baltics! In autumn we set our sights on making history and WE DID!
Now we have had a few days to digest and it is a perfect place to put these thoughts and feelings into this blog post. Let’s take a closer look on how we raced the perfect race.
Before we get to the race, we have to rewind to the start of last week. After winning the first Visma Challenger race of the season, Alutaguse Maraton, Mart and Team Nordic Jobs Worldwide was seen as a strong favorite to win Tartu Maraton. This actually put tremendous pressure on us to perform, something that we are not used to, but as Mart said – great practice and opportunity to see, if we can handle it.
We put together a tactical plan on how we could make the most of the race, control it and come away victorious. We had multiple scenarios depending on the conditions, but the outline was the same. Young guns Jürgen and Robin set out to push the pace and control the group as long as possible. Henri and Mart tried to sit at the back and conserve energy until it really mattered.
Then came the race day – we had 6 athletes on the startline: Piret, Merilin, Robin, Jürgen, Henri, and Mart. So, two very strong girls with a solid chance of making the podium and four sharp guys to battle it out on the field. Before the start, we had to run our final ski tests, and damn, it was difficult to choose. Since fresh, wet snow was on the track, with every glide the track got faster and made it more difficult to notice the differences between the skis. But we had to choose and it was now or never because the start was getting very close. We just had to hope that we had made the right decisions.
The moments before the start were nervous, skis were still being waxed and the clock was relentlessly ticking towards 9 am. Just four minutes before the start we got the skis and ran to our places on the grid. Now it was our chance to make Estonian skiing history! At 9.00 am we took off!

, the first time I tried I broke down on day 3ave you ever given up something you love for 30 days?What did you learn from it?
Saving money is key right now. Totally doing this!
Ahh good for you!I need to try that, ha!And such a cute look lady!
This is so awesome!Thank you for sharing girl!I need to try this asap!
This is a great challenge to try for us shopaholics. I'm always on a super strict budget, so I feel like this is me 90% of the time, but I still find myself buying a cute top or pair of shoes now and again haha!
Love this gal!I've been thinking of doing this and think I will for September. Create a capsule wardrobe maybe. Thanks for sharing!
Yes- love this post!I really need to consider doing this!
This is a great post!I recently canceled subscriptions or something similar and saved over $150!Crazy!
I seriously LOVE not shopping and spending money. It's so refreshing!
Such a great perspective, I fall victim of "scrolling" and adding to my cart when I'm bored or in between meetings – its soo bad!I can definitely take a page from your book and try a 30-day break!
You go girl!I did this last September and it was a lot tougher than I care to admit. It definitely helps when saving money though!
major props to you for making it through the 30 days…that would be hard for me, too!
Oh I relate to this post all too much!I really need to do this challenge…maybe next month?I can only imagine the good things that would come from it!
Girl, this is inspiring!I need to try it!
I SO need to do this!I have been buying so much lately – hello #NSale and every other sale right now – and literally am running out of room in my room/closet. I'm making a pact with myself to do this!Thanks for the inspiration!

"Supermom" to save the day, I remembered buying him a new Batman shirt that had been on clearance. It was 2 sizes too big because I bought it for next year, but it was Batman and he was happy and finally dressed.
There was nothing I could do but stop dead in my tracks. How could I do anything other than answer his humbling plea after I had been huffing and puffing and demonstrating my irritation?!
It was just another day. Another day of problems. Another day of situations. Another day with unpredictable circumstances. Another day where things would happen beyond my control. Another day where I would have choices to make. Another day I would be reminded of the great responsibility I have to train a child in the way he should go. Another day a child would have to remind me how to get back to the most important thing.
Oh yes, just another day.
Oh yes, just another day.</s> Making the interior even more impressive is the motorsport-inspired center console and the AMG Drive Unit controls that are arranged like eight cylinders in a V layout. Impressive and certainly unique!
Naturally, the AMG GT’s cabin is packed with the finest materials and boasts high-quality fit and finish. Acres of leather cover everything from the dashboard to the sports seats to the door panels. The black surfaces feature red contrast stitching, while nearly everything else is either aluminum or carbon fiber. </s> This past Sunday was another wedding related activity:
Specifically my sister's second bridal shower at her groom's church;
that the groom could not attend due to being on a boat in the middle of a river working.
My sister was unsure of how the shower would go and wanted our parents (dad, included) and myself by her side. The ladies who hosted this shower could not have been sweeter. According to the groom's mom, each one of the ladies that came to the shower had a part in helping Grant become the man he is today. We joked around that 'they worked hard then."
My job is to take down all of the names/gifts during the semi awkward part of opening gifts. I am so grateful to be beside her during this special time in her life. She has trouble opening boxes with a bunch of tape on them and it makes me giggle each time. Good job, Belk.
However, bridal showers aren't just for selfies.
They are a time to celebrate someone starting a new life with someone else.
It isn't about you (something I'm learning the hard way).
Our lives are not about US - they are about spreading love to everyone as Jesus would have us do.
(and yes, I'm crazy behind on my blog reading oops!) </s> Sophia1P series controls are ing 1-98% of the applied line voltage to the directly connected electric heaters. This is accomplished by phase angle firing a TRIAC module. The D1P will not control heaters with high inrush current (tungsten lamps), transformers or motors. </s> !!
This is stunning Julie. I love the image with her pretty floral dress. Gorgeous papers and beautiful detailing too.
Oh my I would be shaken as well, hope things improve very very soon for you. I do love your card and the papers are just yummy, I like that stamp but would need to add a face to it. xx
what a wonderful card, love the papers and the added details to the flowers
i am sorry to hear about the attempted breakin, i hope holly is ok now.
LOVE this pretty card! </s> Selected as Party of the Day on January 18th!

Cells – the building blocks of life – exist on the microscopic scale. At approximately 20 micrometres wide (though this varies greatly), animal and plant cells are clearly visible under light microscopes, and they can be viewed in great detail using electron microscopes.
Adjust the distance between the eyepieces (4) until you can see the sample clearly with both eyes simultaneously (you should see the sample in 3D).
The eyepiece of the microscope contains a 10x magnifying lens, so the 10x objective lens actually magnifies 100 times and the 40x objective lens magnifies 400 times. T
There are two lengths. The lower one is known as the objective lens because it gathers the light from the object or the specimen. The other one is called the eyepiece.

Adjust the light intensity to a comfortable level. Then move the slide to re-center the image.
Specimen Observation is a series of chambers in the tower on Monument Island, separated from the public areas of the attraction. It is where the Lutece Twins and other researchers of the Columbia Science Authority have been observing and recording Elizabeth for a great deal of her life.
Specimen Record. A detailed narrative written in sequence over a specified time, recorded while behavior is occurring.
Event sampling refers to a diverse class of specific empirical methods for studying individual experiences and social processes within their natural, spontaneous context. Event sampling procedures are designed to obtain reasonably detailed accounts of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as they occur in everyday life.

I’d heard many things about The South. I was promised I’d be chased by dogs. That I’d ride on roads with no shoulders, get a yearly dose of bigotry and make the acquaintance of hicks with no teeth. And yet, that that all of this would be curiously juxtaposed with the greatest show of hospitality known to man. Anything less and I’d have been sorely disappointed. Anything more would have been a bonus. Of course, it was Christmas bonus time.
Two days before I crossed the Mason-Dixon line, a historic boundary that marks the North-South divide, I went rogue. The pre-departure plan was to skirt inland, covering Virginia, The Carolina’s and Florida in as few miles as possible. Well now. At this point in the trip, that had a whiff of the sensible about it. So like a muscular moth to a flame, I added on a ‘few’ extra miles and headed toward the East coast instead.
Here’s a lovely story for you. When I was 19, fresh out of school and eyes ablaze with the wonder of the world, I decided to move to Australia for a bit. There I became BFF-OUIGH (Best friends forever – or until I go home) with a girl named Amy. Although now having represented Australia in rowing at two Olympics, Amy is originally from (drum roll, please) North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. So as soon as I hatched the new route (code word: COASTAL) I thought of Amy, and decided that I’d make her home town the point at which I hit the shores of the Atlantic once more. So ten years after I met their daughter in a country 9,000 miles away, I appeared on the doorstep of Amy’s folks, Price and Barbara, and was welcomed in like a long lost child.
Talk to Americans about Myrtle Beach and you’ll become familiar with its reputation as ‘Dirty Myrtle’ or the ‘Redneck Riviera’. Riding in, I could see the roots of such a rep. The main highway is a migraine sufferers worst nightmare. As far as the eye can see are bargainsannouncing the delights on offer with big flashing lights.
But this is one beach book you shouldn’t judge by it’s lightbulb led cover. Get away from the busy highway, just one street over, and you’ll find t– a gigantic golden beach, surrounded by tufts of wild grass, punctuated with boardwalks and modest dunes. The day I took a walk along the shore, a heavy fog rolled in, transforming my stroll from the marginally tranquil to the downright serene.
Away from the beach, Price told me that North Myrtle hadn’t always been such a tourist trap. And that in the 70’s, it was just a small town with less than a third of the population of today. He initially moved to the area to spend time at the Meher Baba centre – a 500 acre lake encrusted oasis of calm, dedicated to a man who believed in the pursuit of ‘conscious divinity.’ Set just metres back from a now busy highway 17, the centre remains at North Myrtle, as peaceful as ever, offering rest, meditation and a more spiritual life to those who seek it.
Riding out 2 days later, I saw the whole area through new eyes. I had a deeper appreciation for it’s history and beauty, as well as a fondness for the people who live there. It made me wonder how many towns I’d passed through and decided I wasn’t too keen on, only to miss something more delicate, cowering beneath a brash veneer.
2) Ride a Pink bike.
I’ve grown used to getting funny looks over the past six months, but the South East takes staring to a whole new level. I seemed to attract far more of an audience than usual at gas stations. By the end of one particular daily ham and cheese sub session in South Carolina, I had six people crowded around, asking questions and arguing amongst themselves as to the route I should take from there. It was really quite touching.
A little down the road from that stop, I pulled into a tiny convenience store at the side of the highway. And it was here I met my new favourite person – Jim.
Little more than a freestanding room, the convenience store was clad in crumbling brick, coated with peeling white paint and complemented by a door clinging to the very last days of its wooden life. As I stepped inside, letting my eyes adjust to a dark interior, I heard a soft southern drawl. “Well hello there missy, where you be a-comin from?” Behind a small counter to my right was Jim. Black, in his late 60’s with tight yet sporadic curls of Grey hair, and a cataract over one eye – he was straight from a work of fiction.
I felt truly honoured to have met Jim. What a gem.
WHO STOLE MY SHOULDERS?
Lacking in characters the South is not. Lacking in space to cycle however… The past two weeks have been frought with a struggle to find any sort of shoulder to ride in, or a road that’s quiet enough not to warrant one. Through Southern Georgia especially there was one road to take, and I was sharing it with every other Tom, Dick and Harry. By the time I made Florida, I was mentally exhausted. Spending 10 hours a day being subjected to honks and shouts from passing cars (The Dicks shouted more than the Tom’s and Harry’s) and in mild fear that a truck might get a little too close, is just not cricket, and it’s certainly not fun.
The lack of provision for road cycling, should by no means overshadow what these states have to offer, especially for the naturalist. The Carolina’s and Georgia have an impressive selection of cotton fields and shrubbery. I’ve yet to learn the official name for all the trees I saw in the swamps and forests, but The Beardy oak (Muchos Hairyiculus), the Mr Tickle tree (armus gargantuan) and the Spikey Hand Fan-Fern (Highus Fivus) were among those that repeated most frequently.
For the true lover of a reet good view, however, you best get yourself down to Florida. And to the stretch of Gulf coast between Panama City Beach and Pensacola. It’s stunning. The sand is a shade of white I never thought possible in anything other than snow, and it just goes on, and on. Route 30A, a road that runs right next to the shoreline is no doubt swollen with traffic in the summertime. But as it was ‘winter’ (ahem 21 degrees and sunny) the small, immaculately maintained towns and silky smooth sand bars were all but deserted. Lucky, lucky me.
inal 7 states, I’ve got a bit of a mission on my hands, but I’m more excited than ever about the final flourish. Fancy that?
Here’s wishing you all a hugely happy New Year. I sincerely hope you have some mischief of your own in the pipeline for 2014 – if not, get onto it, quicksmart.

Members of the Northeast California Resource Advisory Council convened in the field Saturday, Sept. 27 to help build a hiking trail at the north shore of Eagle Lake, north of Susanville. It was the second year that the RAC has worked on the trail that serves local residents and visitors. On Saturday, the group built a trail segment that will eventually link with the trail the group started two years ago.

FEBRUARY 2008 </s> . 4/02/07: Today is my first day back at work and I have done better than I thought. The only thing that was a little difficult for me to do was to get things down from a higher shelf. When I would try and get something from up high I would feel a “pulling” effect. I guess that was my sign to let me know I was doing a little too much. Today was the first day I was able to drive my car & my best Advice is to drive a little more conservatively than normal especially when turning! Again, all I felt was a little “pulling” effect. I am still however very swollen. I am now at home & I have decided to apply ice to help with my swelling.
Tues. 4/03/07: I am still sleeping at a 45 degree angle & my back is starting to ache a little bit but other than that everything is fine. I still have a lot of swelling. I have called nurse Marilyn and she said that’s normal healing. It just takes time for everything to settle and heal.
Wed. 04/04/07: I am now starting to experience a “burning” sensation & shooting pains in my right breast which is absolutely normal. This means My nerve endings are coming back together! Believe it or not, I Have no pain associated with this feeling!
Thurs. 04/05/07: I am starting to notice my right breast dropping into the pocket Dr. Corbin created & it has a funky shape right now however this is absolutely normal it will settle in time.
Fri. 04/06/07: My right breast is still looking a little funky but other than that I am doing great. My left breast hasn’t started to drop yet. It is changing everyday and I can see positive changes.
Sun. 04/08/07: My left breast is starting to drop & is having increasing shooting Pains however this is normal. I’m looking good! Yeah!
Tues. 04/10/07: Same progress as mentioned earlier however I’m now wearing a sports bra that hooks in the back. (still no under wire).

Mrs. Louisa S. Mohrmann, a well known pioneer woman of San Joaquin county, now resides within a few miles of Clements, where she owns a ranch of one hundred and sixty acres under a high state of cultivation. She is a native of Berlin, Germany, born on the 15th of October, 1836. Her parents, Henry and Julia (Miller) Frohmann, were natives of Prussia and her father served as a soldier in the Prussian army. Mrs. Mohrmann spent the first eight years of her life in her native country and then accompanied her parents on their emigration for America, her father having determined to try his fortune in the new world. They took passage at Hamburg on a sailing vessel, which after a voyage of forty-two days dropped anchor in the harbor of New York. From that city the family proceeded to Washington county, Wisconsin, where the father secured a tract of land and began farming. He continued to reside there until his death, and his wife also passed away in the same county.
It was upon the family homestead in Washington county, Wisconsin, that Mrs. Mohrmann was reared, being carefully trained to the duties of the household so that she was well qualified to take charge of a home of her own at the time of her marriage. She first gave her hand in marriage to Henry W. Schwartz, s, both of whom are now living. Mr. Schwartz died on the 16th of July, 1862, and his widow was again married in Wisconsin, this time becoming the wife of Christian Mohrmann, a native of Mecklenburg, Germanya son and two daughters.
In the year 1870 Christian Mohrmann with his family removed from Iowa to California, settling in San Joaquin county upon the ranch which is now owned and occupied by his widow.

He was a kind husband and father and obliging neighbor and was widely and favorably known in his locality.

How’s you? All good I hope.
Life seems to be picking up speed at the mo. Lots of things happening at home and at work at the moment. It’s making the days fly by. I’m sure Xmas will soon be upon us. I’m surprised that the year has gone so fast.
That’s my personal guff out of the way. Sorry there are no deep insights into the soul this evening, but you can’t have it all can you. Besides, everyone needs a night off once in a while! Perhaps it’s a good thing not having to sit navel gazing and searching your soul for your raison d’être. Perhaps it means I’m content. Hell, I sure don’t ponder why I love chocolate so much 🙂 Contentment; contentment is good.
Yes, contentment is good! Also rare in this life; enjoy every second!
Mrs Jones is much better thank you. Some tea and sympathy seemed to do the job.

Several nights ago, a very popular Christian speaker held a large convocation with a vast throng of tens of thousands of listeners. And this evangelist gave a very high-energy presentation, with a very positive message.
Well, the gist of what he said is, that we need to think positive, speak positive, and believe positively, that God has good things in store for us here on earth! Yes, this popular speaker continued to present a message about achieving our earthly dreams: earthly dreams for ourselves and for our families.
Above picture not connected with this story – church service by Matt Malone for Wikimedia copyrighted
“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart : his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.” Psalm 55:21
This extravaganza was filled with short, but uplifting testimonies, a high-energy, upbeat rock band, attractive women, well-timed jokes, and smoother-than-butter preaching!
Well, needless to say, this presentation was received with no lack of enthusiasm!
There is a large percentage of churches who fall into the category of “prosperity gospels”. Most of these are rather flagrant in their violation of the most fundamental principles of God’s Word.
And because these false gospels are so obviously apostate, they become the object of a lot of criticism, by the more “conservative” gospels.
And maybe that is a great part of why Satan has raised these more flamboyant gospels up. Because the more “conservative” gospels have their own set of issues. But compared to those “crazy groups”, the conservative groups don’t seem nearly so bad. We actually look pretty good next to those so-called “health and wealth” gospels! And of course, when compared to the “cults”, we even look that much better!
THE STRAW MAN PLOY
The Bible says concerning Satan… “we are not ignorant of his devices” 2nd Corinthians 2:11. And it is not hard to see that Satan employs this same strategy in the secular world. It’s often referred to as a variation of the, “Straw Man Ploy”. Simply put, Satan creates a class of persons, who make most everyone else look good.
Just a quick look at society, and one can easily see that Satan has raised up a large class of frowned-upon groups of people: drug addicts, thieves, Satan worshippers, the morally perverse, the socially-abhorrent, and other similar-type groups. And compared to these, the status-quo, working class feel pretty good about themselves.
“I’m a hard working, tax-paying, flag-waving, church-going citizen! I’m not a drug addict or a degenerate like those people over there! So don’t tell me I need a Savior! I’m a good, honest, decent and upstanding person!”
This seems to be one very great deception that Satan employs against the “normal” segment of society.
AS IN SOCIETY, SO ALSO IN CHURCHES!
And so, why would we not assume that Satan employs this very same strategy within Christendom?
Yes, this Master-Deceiver, Satan, uses this exact same strategy within the church-world as well! As already stated, next to those “far out gospels and cults”, the more conservative gospels look fairly biblical. And there are conservative talk shows that constantly point the accusing finger at those world-loving, prosperity gospels and those radical cults, not realizing that we too, are also in hot water, so to speak, with a holy and sin-hating God.
And so for Satan, this is a win-win strategy. First, he causes us to point our proud finger of indignation at those “whackos” over there, and at the same time, we are deceived into thinking that, compared to them, we are in pretty good standing with God! A very brilliant strategy by Satan, wouldn’t you say?
THE DAY OF THE LORD IS UPON THE PROUD
And so, mainstream Christianity is quite confident that “We’re Rapture-ready!”, not knowing the following passage is referring to us…
Listen… “For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low…. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.” Isaiah 2:12-17
Yes, those who are proud and lofty will be the prime objects of God’s disapproval on that Day!
And while we are pointing our bony fingers at those “other groups”, we are not realizing that God’s finger is pointing down at us!
So what can we do about our situation? Well, this next section below tells us just where we ought to be…
“HIDE THYSELF…UNTIL THE INDIGNATION BE OVERPAST”
“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.” Proverbs 27:12
So just where should we be in that Great Day of God Almighty?
Well, this above proverb gives us a big clue, as to just where God’s people need to be, prior to the soon-coming storm. The prudent (the wise) are not deceived by all the modern-day “peace & safety” preaching, telling them that they don’t need to worry, because the Church will be raptured away prior to the soon-coming time of trouble. Yes, the wise are preparing themselves for the great tribulation! The foolish “are at ease in Zion”! But there is much more on this subject.
Listen to this… “Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity…” Isaiah 26:20, 21.
So now we see that we are to hide ourselves in our “chambers”. And we are to stay in our chambers till the in dignation be over-past, when “the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth”.
Now is God speaking of literal chambers?
Here again, is a perfect example of just how often God speaks metaphorically. The obvious answer is, of course not!
Well then, maybe we are to hide in our spiritual storm-shelter!
Listen… “For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.” Psalm 27:5, 6 Yes, God has provided a pavilion in which we must hide…
ABOVE PHOTO: Hide Thyself – inspired by Tornado Over Kansas by Curry
TO READ PART 2, GO HERE…April 8 (The Straw-Man, Part 2: “Stigmatizing Christianity! Foolish Talk & Jesting”)
“Dear Lord, Help me to escape from this deadly deception by that Master-Deceiver, Satan! Let me not be a proud finger-pointer. But rather humble me and take away my foolish presumptuous pride…
FLEEING WOMAN OF REVELATION 12…
“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Revelation 12:14, 15. So this Revelation 12 Woman Constellation gives a heavenly portrait of a woman fleeing from the Dragon, who is spewing water in her pathway.

Sustanon 250 is one of the most common steroid among athletes with higheffect (100% of the natural male sex hormone). Some users, due to the composition of the anabolic steroid, attribute it to complex steroids, but this assumption is somewhat erroneous. It contains simultaneously four testostero Each of them has its own half-life and effect on the body, and, therefore, they begin to act not in a complex way, but in turn. When the drug is injected, preferably intramuscularly, its effect begins to manifest itself after a fairly short period of time and due to the alternate smooth transition of the inclusion of short ethers into the work, and then prolonged ones, it continues to exert it on the body for a long time, which reaches about ten days. This fact makes it possible to make injections with a fairly large frequency – once a week.
The steroid has a high degree of aromatase action (conversion into estrogens – female sex hormones), as a result of which a negative phenomenon such as hormonal imbalance may arise and develop, under the influence of which certain side effects may develop (female fat deposition, etc.). Getting into the liver during decomposition, it does not have a toxic effect on this organ.
The drug was obtained during the synthesis of male sex hormone molecules in the mid-70s of the twentieth century in the laboratories of the famous Organon concern, which has been producing medicines for many years and was originally used in the field of clinical medici. A little later, thanks to its effects, it found wide application and popularity, which is still relevant today, in the field of sportss.
Sustanon 250 is produced under this trademarkinjection solution with a concentration of an active chemical substance consisting of a mix of testosterone esters, 250 mg / ml.
The use of Sustanon 250 is recommended to be avoided for women and beginners. This is a more suitable anabolic for experienced AAS. Before starting use, it is preferable to contact a sports doctor, who will draw up a course and dosage on an individual basis.
The maximum course duration assumes an average of 8 weeks. The intervals between injections, each of which can vary from 250 to 500 mg (some experienced athletes increase the dosage to 1000 ml), are seven days. A high dosage of Sustanon 250 should be accompanied by the concurrent use of Gonadoropine or Proviron. After two weeks of taking the drug, it is recommended to start using aromatase inhibitors. After the course therapy, conduct with Clomid or special Tribulus boosters.
On the combined courses of Sustanon 250 in conjunction with steroids such as Winstrol, Nandrolone, Methandienone, Turinabol will increase the effectiveness of the course and reduce the risk of negative effects.

Mannheim like many German, nay, European cities is looking to the bicycle as a way to reduce air pollution levels. The idea is to reduce the number of not only diesel powered vehicles on the road in the city centre. New cycle ways are planned, both in city streets and as bike-bahns, bicycle super highways. There are a number of new cycle ways in Mannheim and those that are in city streets take up room that could be utilised by motor traffic, shock horror!

I found out earlier I could add effects to Beatcraft - very cool.
Only thing is, it only seems to add a few and not others.
The scan of my VST folders reveals I have access to Acoustica Effects, Cakewalk Direct FX and some T-RACKS VSTs only
It looks like the .dll has to be immediately below the VSTPlugins folder to be selectable - is that right? I just moved Ambience.dll into c:\program files\steinberg\vstplugins and it now shows up, so that appears to be the case.
That's a problem if you put your plugins under separate sub-folders (like I do) underneath the VSTplugins folder, as they do not show up to be selected from the effects menu.
An enhancement for the next version, perhaps?

OK, one more short post before I return to some serious thought--though I may skip tomorrow night since I suspect I'll still have lots of work to do for my Tuesday class.
Beginning of first episode without Starbuck. Ouch. Characters are dealing with the fallout, and I've already shed the first tears of the night. Trillian is officially on strike, refusing to watch if Starbuck won't be on. Never mind that she has been around for the first 15 minutes.* Sample conversation:
T-I wonder if they realize what a mistake they've made killing her off.
But now the focus shifts to Baltar's trial. And even if there's no Starbuck, I have been awaiting this story arc with great anticipation. So far the storyline has tapped into the ambivalence I've always recognized in myself when it comes to issues of justice. I am adamantly against the death penalty and truly believe in everyone's right to a fair trial. And yet I cannot deny the many times when I, in my gut, have thought the world would be better off without a person's presence and grown impatient with the mechanations of court proceedings.
Baltar's treatment to this point already captures much of that. He is a collaborator and traitor, undoubtedly scum. And yet he is (almost certainly) human** and (without a doubt) a member of the Colonies. He is guaranteed a trial. And I agree with that.
But when President Roslin loses it and orders him thrown out an airlock, haranguing him the whole way, you'd better believe I was right there with him. And when they used experimental drugs to try to extract information, I wanted them to push him just a little further. I'm not proud of it, but I also recognize it as a very human response. And I expect to find myself in a similar position over the next few weeks.
*That's all she ended up watching and has gone off to bed.
**Oh, what a loaded word in this context.

Mining Actionable Insights with Network Analytics
The network analytics market is set to take center stage withrkets, its global demand could grow up to $3.5 billion by 2024. Back in 2019, the market value of the industry was about half of the forecast. Within the same period, this IT market segment could post a compound annual growth rate of at least 20%.
Network analytics’ anticipated growth isn’t accidental, but the by-product of the increasing importance of data as businesses undergo digital transformation.
Why Network Analytics Matter
By definition, n-related data that can range from bit rates to traffic, latencies, sources of traffic, and even potential breaches. From the information, enterprises can then perform the following tasks:
Determine flaws and strengths of the network and then improve against weaknesses.
Optimize performance of the network to also improve productivity and efficiency of not only platforms and devices, but also people.
Conduct network audits and refine them whenever necessary.
Identify the needs of the network to enhance its infrastructure.
Create a more realistic IT budget.
Use the information to hire the right people for the job.
Help enterprises determine best strategies to maximize the available IT resources.
Digging deeper, the data that network analytics provides is essential for the following reasons:
1. Enterprise networks have become more complicated
The growth of IT, especially over the last few decades, has been unprecedented. In a survey by McKinsey, almost all respondents said that companies within their industry were already investing in the enterprise Internet of things (IoT) to enhance their efficiency, operations performance, and productivity.
This is even though IoT implementation is still in its infancy and policies, particularly government regulations about it, remain murky or even nonexistent. Add to that the increasing demand for cloud platforms and the rise of other methods of networking, such as.
There’s also the controversial entry of 5G. With it, more devices can connect within the network without compromising speed and bandwidth. However, recent studies suggest it could also introduce security issues.
Network analytics can help determine whether the infrastructure and the method of connectivity are updated; if the enterprise is ready to adopt the latest changes in IT.

2. Cybersecurity is a pressing issue
There’s good reason some businesses prefer to stick with legacy systems no matter how outdated they are: connectivity has a severe flaw, and that is the increased cybersecurity risk.
Cybersecurity risks, such as ransomware and phishing, are extremely costly for businesses. Statistics showed that cybercrime-related expenses could grow by as much as $10.5 trillion by 2025, increasing by 15% annually. For comparison, it was only around $3 trillion in 2015.
While it hitss — from credit bureaus like Equifax to healthcare facilities — these IT-related crimes are specifically damaging to fledgling businesses. They could lose about $200,000 per attack, eventually shutting down many of them within months.
Despite the threats, almost 80% of IT executives or leaders think they have enough protection against them. This is even if they’re already investing in cybersecurity. Fewer than 60% performed a security risk assessment in 2020.
Network analytics doesn’t offer protection of information, but the data can be used to create realistic, achievable, and easily maintained and monitored security strategies. For example, they can identify
Assessing the network can also help IT security teams identify weak points that hackers and other cyber criminals can exploit. This is especially true if the organization integrates IoT devices and cloud platforms into its infrastructure.
IT has introduced more secure models, such as the zero-trust approach, that creates several limited-access points. Analytics can allow businesses to identify where to implement this strategy.
3. Many companies are wasting their IT resources
Gartner forecasts that worldwide spending for IT will increase by over 6% in 2021. This percentage translates to almost $4 trillion. And yet, companies are also wasting money in different ways:
In one of the surveys, some IT leaders confessed that they went overboard with their cloud budget by at least 20%. Others claimed they wasted 30% of their cloud spending. However, they were still willing to increase their expenditure by around 50%.
In 2016, employees lost two weeks’ worth of work annually due to IT-related problems. These ranged from unusable or outdated software and latency to connectivity.
Network Analytics Boosts Business Health
Network analytics helps in the economics of business. It doesn’t only tell whether the organization needs to invest more in IT but also leads them to the right investments. In the end, analytics is just as good as the data it provides. A business that doesn’t perform network analytics misses the chance to effectively manage their IT spending while improving security, performance, and resource allocation and utilization.
