Announcing Athena: our next VR/AR game!
Named after the Goddess of Wisdom and based on a game concept we developed with Heifer International many years ago, the initial concept has now evolved into Athena, taking VR story-telling and AI to the next level.
In most games today, there is an element of immersiveness: the flow that happens when you get lost in the depths of the story and the quest, when nothing else matters than when you get to the end and finally solve that puzzle. In a VR/AR game, like a book, you can fly, you can morph, you can push the boundaries of reality. Flow was beautifully defined by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, as the "…state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter. The idea of flow is identical to the feeling of being in the zone or in the groove. The flow state is an optimal state of intrinsic motivation, where the person is fully immersed in what they are doing. This is a feeling everyone has at times, characterized by a feeling of great absorption, engagement, fulfillment, and skill—and during which temporal concerns (time, food, ego-self, etc.) are typically ignored."
We want to harness this flow into our newest product: Athena, by blending AI, gamification and curated curriculum from our education partners. Calling it an immersive VR/AR experiment, we are building our game in episodes, by leveraging leading education research with a dash of IDEO design methodology, to create a personalized, learning journey into a VR world, filled with contextual stories and puzzles. By identifying the student's core strengths and building custom learning quests to continue developing them, our AI learning engine will amplify existing educator goals and adapt to your child's learning needs.
We are partnering with our education partners, nonprofits and other relevant story tellers to drive ideas of empathy and global citizenry within the world of Athena. We're also partnering with local educators to identify existing gaps and develop solutions that seamlessly integrate with our technology.
Why are we doing this?
The data shows that our educational system is overloaded with limited resources. Many children at different levels are struggling with the existing school system and are simply not feeling engaged enough to learn. More importantly, there are over 10 million+ kids with special needs that are not being served by the educational system as we know it, today. Think we're making this up? Take a look at the data:
- https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/developmentaldisabilities/about.html
- https://www.childstats.gov/americaschildren/tables/pop1.asp
The numbers show the truth: the level of disengagement goes up as the student progresses through the educational system. We believe we can fix this and we want to try. As parents to young children, as software technologists and as AI enthusiasts, we believe we can solve this issue through the thoughtful use of technology.
For us, Csikszentmihalyi's statement about flow state, resonated for the type of game we wanted Athena to be: one that lets the player "…achieve a flow state, [with] a balance…struck between the challenge of the task and the skill of the performer. If the task is too easy or too difficult, flow cannot occur. Both skill level and challenge level must be matched and high; if skill and challenge are low and matched, then apathy results."
We believe that by making Athena, an accessible game for all children, our children will be able to access free, curated educational content, in a secure game world that encourages creative thinking and innovative problem solving, while stepping away from the fear of failure and isolation.
We believe that by putting Athena into the hands of a child's first educators, our parents, we will be able to harness a customized learning technology that will respond as the child grows and provide information back to the parents to help them guide their children.
We believe that by putting Athena into our teachers' hands, we will be able to amplify their voices and help them with tools and other relevant resources to continue educating our children.
Do wish us luck as always! We are now moving from our ideation phase into our prototype phase: time for the rubber to hit the road, as they say. We are really excited, so stay tuned as we continue to learn and grow on our journey to build Athena.

K Hotel Manama-Bahrain
April 17, 2012
I'm already a couple of days in Bahrain but didn't find the time to update the blog. thanks to Mr. Z who just reminded me I'm now doing it.
What can I say? didn't expect to come back so it was a nice surprise. Inbound flight was a dream as I got upgraded to First Class 🙂
a bed 🙂
starter was Arabic Mezze, then the steak below and afterwards Cheese and crackers and to make the story complete, Coffee and a Cognac. all of this with WiFi, just marvelous
Coming out of the plane there was a small comittee picking me up and helping me through Immigration which was basically walking through while they waited to get my passport stamped. Unbelievable 🙂
The K Hotel is brandnew and really nice…
I did wonder about my new name…
nice big room
And a lovely nice bathroom with correct hanging paper 🙂
coming back into the room and finding these 🙂

On Track everything is still quiet

Holiday Inn Hannover Airport 302-30…..bugger
April 10, 2012
After the Holiday Inn in Rome now back in Hannover at my most beloved Holiday Inn.
Like always a greeting with a smile and nice chat about the Easter Weekend. Off course she (let's call her Mrs. L. 🙂 ) immediately said, that she hopes the paper hangs correct…
She gave me room 202 which is on the left side of the hotel and I always stay on the right side. So when I came out of the elevator I walked in the wrong direction…
The room is lovely and king size
They still take care of my vitamines…..No worries, I will eat them
I admit, I turned the napkin as it was upside down. Little items but it should face me and not the airport 🙂
Then came the shock!!! Wrong hanging toilet paper!!! It's the old story which I told multiple times, whenever they hang a new roll of paper they don't look at the direction. can't really blame them for that but still, it is a count for the wrong side 😦
no worries, now it hangs proper 😀
Holiday Inn Express Via Aissisi Rome 302-29
April 3, 2012
Since yesterday we are in Rome enjoying our yearly city visit. This year we decided to go to Rome and as I'm addicted to the Holiday Inn Group I took this hotel. Funny enough, a couple of days before a searched the Internet and found some very bad remarks about this hotel so I spoke to my colleague about this and he advised to search on another website for hotel reports. He was right as this website showed a totally different face on this hotel and they were right as until now I have nothing to complain about!
The paper is hanging correct which immideately give you a bonus 🙂 Because of my status also the Internet is FOC which makes it even better 🙂
Room is fine, breakfast is good so this morgning we started well prepared to dive into the city. I learned from the Web that the Metro is always fully overcrowded and I can confirm…it is…But heh, it only cost €1,- so don't complain 🙂
mmmhhh… I'm trying to upload pictures but the system won't let me. well whatever, I'll do it on facebook 😀

Where Should Individual State Tobacco Settlements Go?
In the United States, tobacco companies have been required to pay settlements to 46 states to help off-set the cost tobacco-related medical-costs. Tobacco companies agreed to cease certain marketing practices and pay annual payments to states. The question is not if those funds should be paid, but where they should go.
In a report recently released, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted that most states are not spending the recommended amount of settlement funds and tobacco taxes on programs and marketing to prevent tobacco use.
In Kentucky an estimated $389 million of the state's income derived from these sources in 2011. The CDC recommends $57.2 million be allocated to fund anti-tobacco programs. Kentucky falls short of that amount, noting they are slated so spend a mere $2.2 million on preventative programs in 2012. That is a hair under 4 percent of the recommended figure.
Ellen Hahn, professor at the University of Kentucky's College of Nursing and College of Public Health stated, "Kentucky has been chronically underfunded for tobacco control and we've been saying that for years. The sad part is we just plain have not allocated resources we need to be able to really create a sustained (anti-tobacco) campaign over time."
So where should that money go? Should states be required to spent a certain amount on anti-tobacco programs or be allowed to allocate those funds as they see fit given the financial challenges currently plaguing the country?

Realtor reports all pipes stolen from house for sale
Realtor reports all pipes stolen from house for sale
DES MOINES, Iowa —
A realtor called police on Thursday to report that all the copper pipes had been stolen from a home for sale.
Officers were sent to 1445 Dean Avenue about 8:15 p.m.
According to the police report, the realtor said it appears the burglar entered through the back door.
Looking through the home, the realtor saw all the copper pipes were cut out. An estimated 30 feet of pipes were ripped from the wall, water heater, AC unit and more.
Replacing the pipes is estimated to cost about $500 and another $300 to replace lines to the air conditioning unit.
The case remains under investigation.

Routine Caravan Run is NOT!
I should have known secret cargo would cause trouble but I would have never dreamed how much. Herein I record my memory of the events and my research on what we stumbled into and how we made it worse.
Alyris and I accept an assignment run a small caravan to Vigil. A single wagon with horse, driver, and four guards were also assigned to the caravan. The owner of the cargo, a dwarf named {insert link}, had the wagon loaded and was very secretive about the contents. The caravan was also joined by an interesting cleric Menas Keruxvrakdi.
Our first hint of trouble came as we approached King's Crossing and noticed a lack of lights and guards. Upon arrival we found the gates open and proceeded to carefully search buildings and grounds only to find no living beings, just a few body parts. Since we had already had a long day and there did not seem to be any immediate threat I decided we would close the gates, move all the body parts to the stable and divide into 3 watches for the night. We also noticed evidence that something had gone down the well, possibly dragging bodies, so we barricaded the well with a table from the inn and some extra lumber found on site.
The first watch passed quietly. Midway into the second watch I awoke to shouts of "We are attacked!" I followed Alyris out of the Inn kicking the foot of a sleeping guard on the way out.
After an intense but brief battle we were able to repel the attackers long enough to get the gates closed again. Looking back, I think that was because the attack was really a diversion to allow the cargo to be stolen. The two most dangerous opponents were not killed but left of their own accord.
After getting the gates closed we spend the rest of the night killing the rest of the zombies outside from the safety of the wall. We also discovered that the cargo was a coffin that was now empty. We then pressed the dawarf on whose body and what else was missing. He revealed that he was a bounty hunter and that he was transporting the notorious wizard Festus and the diamonds and enough gold to pay to have Festus revived to answer for his crimes.

The key to spiritual authority and to fulfillment in the Mercy season is intimacy, both with God and with our community. This series of articles will address only the former.
The first step to intimacy with God is to realize that you are already at the first step. You don't have to go somewhere, do something, buy something, change something. Achieving intimacy with God is not an algebraic formula where a standardized set of actions on your part will produce a predictable result.
This article was prompted by someone who wrote despairing over the lack of intimacy in her life and she ended by saying, "I probably need to be on a computer fast, first off, and sit and LISTEN maybe…"
This is a classic formula approach. If we deprive ourselves of the distractions of the world (and there are 1,000 variations on this theme) God will not feel like He has to compete and therefore He will come and intimacy will happen. After all, there are many case histories to support this view!
I wrote back: "Or not! I think that is a classic religious spirit reaction. The monastic era has come and gone. There is certainly time for a media fast or a phone fast or those kinds of things, but at the end of the day, intimacy will come from erasing the line between the secular and sacred, so that when you are at an antique show with your boss, you can experience uncommon intimacy."
Because you see, in this Mercy season, God wants to be intimate in your whole life, not just your spiritual exercises. If you are only able to be intimate with God in the solitude of your prayer closet, it is like a couple who can only experience intimacy through sex, and the other 23.5 hours a day are loveless — not a pretty picture.
And intimacy at work, on the golf course or in the grocery store is not just the end game that the really, really super spiritual people get to. It is where God wants to begin with most people.
The second step is to stop all comparisons with others as to the process and the product. Intimacy between you and God is not going to look like intimacy between me and God. And how you get to intimacy will be different from the pathway God took me on.
Let me give you one simple example. There are kids who grew up playing with water. Give them a large bucket of water and a lot of smaller containers and they could entertain themselves for a long time, pouring water back and forth. Those kids grow up to be adults who can hear God best in the shower, while surfing or in the hot tub. That is design.
There are others of you who have never had a second of interaction with God in the shower, and that is OK too. Different design.
I look at three highly diverse snapshots of intimacy with God from my life and realize that it would take half an hour apiece to explain to anyone why those were intimate experiences. One time I was driving north on the 5 freeway and saw some cattle standing in a lush field with grass up to their bellies. Another time was in KwaZulu Natal, on a mountain ridge overlooking a small village. A third moment was in my office struggling with some software that was not working.
Those are my encounters with God and every single one of them was based on my design and my unique journey. They would mean very little to you.
For one person, surprises are a love gift. Other people hate surprises. For some people, intimacy is expressed through safety and comfort. For another, the deepest moments of intimacy are based on life-risking, adrenaline-consuming adventures.
So spend a little time collecting the moments of intimacy you have already had. Look for patterns. God knows your design. God knows how to meet you where you are in your pilgrimage. Your intimacy may not be as deep as you would like it to be. Your periods of time between moments of intimacy may be weeks or years, instead of hours.
I know. We are trying to improve your intimacy with these articles. Don't get stuck on what isn't.
Evaluate what you have. How does God meet you? What does intimacy look like for YOU on Monday morning, and no one else?
If you would like to drop some comments on the subject, I might be able to play off them in subsequent articles — unless they are like mine — too hard to explain.
To be continued.

Solar Fire Quick ViewREDD-CRE-1985xManfred Mann's Earth Band
Solar FireAfter riding the worldwide pop music charts for over a decade, Manfred Mann created an even larger chapter in rock music history with his Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Created at the height of album rock radio, Manfred Mann's Earth Band landed their first three albums on the charts as they increased their loyal following throughout concert halls in the United States. 1974 proved to be a pivotal year for the band as they released their biggest selling album at that time with Solar Fire.
Aside from the thematic approach of rocking tracks like the title song Solar Fire and In The Beginning, Darkness, this album really gained a whole new audience with the epic Bob Dylan remake of Father Of Day, Father Of Night. This ten-minute anthem would go on to be one of Mann's most respected and most articulate works of this era.

Nightingales & Bombers (Awaiting Repress) Quick ViewREDD-CRE-3491xManfred Mann's Earth Band
Nightingales & Bombers (Awaiting Repress)The album that was Manfred Mann's commercial breakthrough was a departure from the previous albums made with the Earth Band. Though the personnel are the same and the musicianship is as mind-blowing as ever, the songs are shorter and punchier, in some cases more poppy. This is not to say that the band had sacrificed a bit of ingenuity or complexity, but the long jams are gone in favor of briefer sound portraits. Nightingales and Bombers included Manfred Mann's first cover of a Bruce Springsteen song, the album-opening Spirits in the Night, a single that charted, and became one of the only pieces written in 10/4 time ever to do so. It would prove to be an important move in their recording career, as 1976's Roaring Silence earned them a big hit with Springsteen's Blinded by the Light. Another foreshadowing of that tune can be detected in the track Fat Nelly, which includes a synthesizer part almost identical to the intro of the aforementioned hit. Also featured in Nightingales and Bombers are such synth-driven rockers as Crossfade, Countdown, and the title track, in which Manfred Mann appear to be trying to capture the prog rock crown.

Chance Quick ViewREDD-CRE-3514xManfred Mann's Earth Band
ChanceManfred Mann's 1980 album is a strange mix of topical songwriting, progressive rock, and power pop -- from its opening seconds, the Earth Band is pressing serious messages and social commentary on their listenership amid swirling prog rock keyboards and catchy guitar hooks and choruses. The whole package is challenging in ways that should have put them on the cutting edge of rock music at the outset of that decade, but one suspects that Mann and company were too musically adept and sophisticated for their own good -- a little dumbing down and maybe a little less musicianship on display would have made them more accessible to the coming MTV generation. As it is, the album has held up remarkably well across a quarter century, however, even if it now seems an uncomfortably accurate warning of the way the world would go, in terms of politics and society, in the decades to come. It would also be three years before another Earth Band album was forthcoming, and that one would be steeped in world music sounds.1. Lies (Through The 80s)

HALIFAX, NS –November 1, 2012 - The Nova Scotia Building Advisory Committee and the Interior Designers of Nova Scotia (IDNS) are pleased to announce recent amendments to the Nova Scotia Building Code Regulations. The amendments add a new Letter of Undertaking and Interior Designer's Seal to all final documents within an interior designer's scope of practice. The amendments come into effect November 1, 2012.
"These amendments represent an interior designer's commitment to the standards of the profession," says IDNS president, Fran Underwood. "It signifies to the public that we accept professional responsibility for standards of care and excellence put forth by our profession."
By submitting a Letter of Undertaking with drawings, a Registered interior designer assumes the responsibility to ensure that all inspections are made and abide by the Nova Scotia Building Code.
Issued to all Registered interior designers, the Seal must be used to identify all work prepared by, or under direct supervision of, a Registered interior designer as part of interior design services rendered to the public.
Nova Scotia is the only province with an Interior Design Practice Act, meaning that under this legislation, no person can practise interior design in Nova Scotia without being a member in good standing with IDNS (architects and engineers are exempt). These amendments further reinforce the province's role in the protection of the health, safety and welfare of its citizens and the understanding of an interior designers' scope of practice.About IDNS

A major indicator of your financial health is your FICO Score so know your score. Creditors use the FICO Scores to decide how risky it is to give you credit. Each of the three major credit bureaus, Transunion, Equifax, and Experian, assigns a score to your credit record. That score goes up and down depending on your credit usage and payment history over time. A good FICO Score makes a huge difference in the interest rates you can get when buying a home or car. Check out your score before any major purchases to make sure it is a true reflection of your credit history.

Next, burn the images onto a single CD-R disc that can be easily accessed for your reference. This makes it more convenient to track down critical information in a snap.
Heating can be the largest household expense during the winter months. Some heating types are more expensive than others. If you live in an area where the winter is cold, don't rent a place with electric heating. As electricity is the most expensive energy source, stay away from rentals with any kind of electric heating system.
Track the money you spend each month. Although many people hate to be reminded of where their money goes each month, tracking it can help you identify ways to save wasted dollars that can go to a more worthy cause. Commit to tracking your spending for just one or two months in the beginning, and challenge yourself to find the "fat" to trim in your monthly spending.
These tips should have given you many ideas -- and a jump-start to your motivation -- to make smart money decisions. Whether it's earning, saving, investing, or even spending, you can now face the financial world with more confidence and less intimidation. Here's to a brighter future and your increased net worth!

This is one in a series of posts highlighting the activities and contributions of STC's communities. If you belong to a community and have important news or a key event to share, please email James Cameron at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Community Affairs Committee just announced a new webinar intended for STC community leaders and members interested in education and collaboration: Great Programming for All of Us! Leveraging Community Collaboration and Virtual Events with Ben Woelk. The webinar takes place this Friday, 11 August, at noon EDT (GMT-4). The CAC has the details:
About the Webinar
STC communities (both geographic chapters and SIGs) sometimes struggle to provide meaningful educational programming for our members and constituents. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to identify local subject matter experts or seasoned presenters. Winter brings another set of challenges, as travel to in-person meetings can be difficult in Canada and the northern United States. Join Ben Woelk, Spectrum Conference co-chair and former program manager for STC Rochester, as he discusses a virtual techcomm showcase model that enables multiple chapters to participate in programming, both as attendees and by providing presenters.
We'll also discuss possible opportunities for community collaboration in 2017-18, so bring your ideas!
About the Audience
This webinar is for all STC community leaders, who are encouraged to register and attend online or watch the recording.
About the Speaker
Ben Woelk, CISSP, CPTC, is an Associate Fellow of the Society for Technical Communication, where he currently serves as Scholarship Committee Chair and Vice President of the Rochester Chapter. Ben is the author of Shockproofing Your Use of Social Media: Staying Safe Online (available on Kindle). You can connect with Ben on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

It sure must be painful for any arbitrageurs who bought Yahoo stock in hopes of selling it to Microsoft. For that matter, it must be painful for anyone who watched the stock go as high as $34.08 during Microsoft's takeover battle. (The stock closed Friday at $23.47)
But if a Yahoo shareholder bought the stock on Jan. 31 at roughly $19 a share, the price just before Microsoft introduced its original $31-a-share bid, he'd still be doing better than the market in general. Yahoo is still up more than 20 percent, while the S.&P. 500 has inched into negative territory.
Here's a chart showing the comparison.

TRAC Builders has helped many clients reclaim outdoor space by building a new roof terrace. Creation of outdoor space that is often unavailable in an urban setting can offer:
- A sanctuary of relaxation
- Great outdoor area for entertaining
- An addition of an outdoor garden
Often overlooked, a roof terrace is a fantastic compliment to any commercial or residential property. Benefits to having a roof terrace, besides the obvious of pure enjoyment of some outdoor living and a breathtaking city skyline include:
- Increased property value, generally 10-20%
- Reduced utility bills, 30% less heat loss in winter and promote cooler temps in summer
- Reduced noise pollution
- Increased life of your roof by up to 70% from added protection of the terrace
At TRAC Builders we use an innovative decking system made of newly engineered high density polypropylene deck supports that are extremely durable and impervious to water, mold, and freeze/thaw cycles. Deck supports use a unique bottom up leveling system that ensures the roof system is stable and drains efficiently while creating level decks over sloping surfaces.
To find out how to reclaim your outdoor space and turn your roof from drab to fab, contact us at TRAC Builders for a consultation.

Lacey Diehl is originally from Lancing, IA and now lives in Dubuque, IA with her husband, Josh. These newlyweds, just tied the knot last month! Ready for a new vehicle for their endeavors and a potential future family, the Diehl's came into Runde's!
What vehicle did you end up purchasing?
A 2012 Chevy Equinox.
Was this vehicle for you or was it for your husband?
More-so for me, and we're getting ready to start having kids in the future so we thought this would be a nice starter vehicle.
How was your overall experience at Runde's and with your salesman, Jake Meyer?
I thought it was absolutely amazing. He didn't pressure us or give us a line of "bull". We went to another local dealership and the salesmen over there were really pushy and trying to convince us to get things we didn't want. Jake let us take as much time as we needed. He related to us by letting us know how him and his wife went through car purchases and how they wanted time and space to make a good decision. All he wanted from us was to make a good decision and to be happy. He didn't want us to just "settle" on a vehicle. That was probably the best part of it and why I wanted to find something at Runde's because he was so accommodating.
What led you into Runde's in the first place?
My husband and I were looking around and researching vehicles. The first dealer wasn't very good so we tried Runde's and scored. We really appreciated Runde's being very upfront and honest with pricing.
What do you guys like to do around the Tri-State area?
We go out to eat, usually every Friday. During the summer we are usually tubing or canoeing or something outdoors. We really enjoy the water and that's why we got an SUV, because we figured we can tow a small boat or something with it eventually.
So you guys are more outdoorsy people, huh?
Kind of, but not in the winter. I work third shift and when it started snowing a couple days ago I was like "are you kidding me!?" I don't like being cooped up in my house all the time, I want to be out by the pool or near water.
Do you like the holidays, at least?
Oh yeah, my grandma always makes Lefsa for thanksgiving and Christmas. It's kind of like a potato-ish wrap. A lot of people put sugar and butter in it but we put wrap it around turkey. It's really good.
At least you'll have that great all-wheel-drive for that nasty snow!
Oh I know! We had a Blazer that had it as well but it was really flaky, it would work and it wouldn't work. Now I'll feel a lot better about the drive getting into and out of work. I'll feel safe and confident now!
What's your favorite restaurant?
Vinni Vannuchi's and Buffalo Wild Wings.
Are you guys sports fans?
We like the Hawkeye's and the Bears.
So your overall experience at Runde's was good?
Yes, everyone was really friendly when I first came in, it was a good experience. Anywhere I go I tell people how nice of a experience I got. I didn't realize how mentally challenging buying a vehicle would be, I never had such a nice fancy vehicle before!
I loved Jake's approach because he said I don't want you to buy a vehicle and look to trade it in a couple of months or be miserable with the purchase.
What do you do for a living?
I work out on the shipping dock at Nordstrom's.
What does your husband do?
He works for Tschiggfrie.
Do you have any pets?
A little Yorkie, my husband got her for me. She needs attention and so do I, so we are a good fit.
Do you remember your first date?
We just met at a party.
Favorite show?
Big Bang Theory is one we like to watch together.
Would you recommend Runde's to friends and family?
Oh yes, I tell everyone I know about how great of an experience I had at Runde's.
That's all the questions I had for you, if you'd like to add anything you're more than welcome to!
I think that pretty much covers it; I just wanted to say that I really appreciate everything you guys have done for us. It was a great experience and will definitely the place we go to buy our future vehicles.

This article from NBC News, a very well known site, is about replacing a random doctor to a robot with a screen where your own physician appears.
This is very convenient as it helps reduce a lot of time and therefore helping diagnostic something quicker, which may save lives. When meeting a new doctor, sometimes one may be embarrassed of what they have and hesitate when telling them what they have, or they don´t mention the most embarrassing details. Also, a random doctor doesn´t know you how your physician does, so this robot makes things more efficient.

Trusted, Professional and Experienced Research Paper Writer
Are your daily thoughts at the moment revolving around "I need help with my research paper right now"? If that is the case, you are not alone! Today, hundreds of students are searching online with the hope of finding expert and cheap research paper writers to help them in their paper writing. Luckily for you, you are on the right website at the right time.
Why? Because we are the best research paper writing service you can find online.
You might be wondering why this is the case. To begin with, every UK online research paper writer from our team is very knowledgeable in drafting premium-quality work.
When you pay for a research paper, you have to make sure that your writer knows what he or she is doing. Our team of professional writers, experienced in custom research paper writing, knows that:
- A research paper should be an integral piece of writing with a beginning, middle and end. You may have a concept of how to start and end your research report, but you still need a way to link these two points.
- Connecting ideas should be the priority in writing a research paper. Why? Because a research paper outline is simply what you use to link the two sides of your academic writing. An outline for a professional college research paper is fundamentally 60 percent of the work done. While writing an investigation paper outline, you essentially compose the main parts of the assignment. Our professional and reliable writers know exactly how to do this to your satisfaction.
- Re-writing and revisions are part of our service. Admit it – it is easier to adjust or rewrite many points within an outline than changing an entire paragraph or several sentences in the research paper itself. However, not everyone can do this, unless they are a professional like our team of top-notch writers. When beginning to work on a research paper outline, our writers sit down and concentrate on the sub-themes of your main topic or the so-called "extra concerns". Then they add new details to your issue and help to make an investigation report.
Fastest Turn-Around Time of the Best Write My Research Paper UK Service
When time is not on your side, our team of UK academic, professional research paper writers will make sure that you have your paper prior to your deadline. We do not mess around when it comes to time and helping our clients.
How do we begin in making sure you meet your deadline? We start with the outline of your paper. Every good research paper writer online knows the importance of an outline. Once it is established, ideas and information will flow smoothly. We take into consideration the fact that a research paper outline has to be crowned by one significant feature – the thesis statement. In order to formulate one, our writers will take a look at your ideas once more to see if any of them weaken your primary statement. Everything will start with the thesis statement, then we will arrange your thoughts and easily organise the paper for you.
In this way, writing your research paper will be easier and faster. The deadline will no longer be your problem. Additionally, our customer support service representative can regularly give you updates on the status of your paper.
Absolute Confidentiality and Secured Transactions
Have you ever heard stories about client information being divulged to telemarketers and other advertising companies? Scary, right? We give our customers a guarantee that we do not sell or disclose their information to a third-party or any other individuals. Your information is kept securely and confidently in our database, only to be used for communication purposes.

BreakingNews 9/3/17 - Why we will disrupt Pro-Buhari rally in Awka -MASSOB
[ Masterweb Reports: Chijioke Jannah reports ] - The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has said that it would not allow the proposed rally in support of President Muhammadu Buhari to hold in Awka on Friday.
It described the rally as an attempt by Igbo politicians in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to bring "political disgrace to Igbo land."
The group said this in a statement signed and issued by its leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu.
He said the decision to hold the rally was a way by Igbo politicians, who have been defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to create the impression that they were on ground.
Madu said: "This rally will not hold anywhere in Biafra land. We have discovered that this is the reason why some Igbo politicians are driving their way into APC that has no interest for Ndigbo.
"We shall never allow them to bring political disgrace to Igbo land.
"What is the significance of the APC rally in Igbo land? Do Ndigbo have any love or likeness for Buhari and APC? Why must such disgraceful rally be planned to hold in Ojukwu's home state?
"Is the rally more important than the Federal Government's abandoned second Niger Bridge, Enugu-Onitsha federal road, Enugu- Port Harcourt express way, Onitsha- Okigwe Federal road, etc?
"MASSOB warns the Professor Osibanjo-led Federal Government to call off the APC proposed rally because we shall resist it.
"Our advice is that such a rally should be held in Hausa- Fulani land, where Buhari's kinsmen are living."

Some barbarians hail from cultures that revere their ancestors. These tribes teach that the warriors of the past linger in the world as mighty spirits, who can guide and protect the living. When a barbarian who follows this path rages, the barbarian contacts the spirit world and calls on these guardian spirits for aid in a time of need.
Barbarians who draw on their ancestral guardians can better fight to protect their tribes and their allies. In order to cement ties to their ancestral guardians, barbarians who follow this path cover themselves in elaborate tattoos that celebrate their ancestors' deeds. These tattoos tell sagas of victories against terrible monsters and other fearsome rivals.
Path of the Ancestral Guardian Features
|Ancestral Protectors
|Spirit Shield (2d8)
|Consult the Spirits, Spirit Shield (3d8)
|Vengeful Ancestors, Spirit Shield (4d8)
Ancestral Protectors
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. These warriors distract a foe you strike and hinder its attempts to harm your companions. While you're raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors. Until the start of your next turn or until your rage ends, that target has disadvantage on any attack roll that doesn't target you, and creatures other than you have resistance to the damage of the target's attacks.
Spirit Shield
Beginning at 6th level, the guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection for your allies. If you are raging and a creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d8.
When you reach certain levels in this class, you can reduce the damage by more: by 3d8 at 10th level and by 4d8 at 14th level.
consult the spirits
At 10th level, you gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits and use them to scout far off areas. When you do so, you cast the clairvoyance spell, without needing a spell slot. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, the spell invisibly summons one of your ancestral spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for the spell.
After you cast the spell in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Vengeful ancestors
At 14th level, your ancestral spirits grow powerful enough to strike foes that dare to harm those you protect. When you use your Spirit Shield to protect a creature damaged by an attack, the attacker takes the same amount of damage that your Spirit Shield prevents.

Below are scriptures to study on the subject of understanding. All scriptures are quoted from the NIV.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Proverbs 2:10-11
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5
Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it. Ecclesiastes 7:12
And he said to the human race, "The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding." Job 28:28
The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. Psalm 119:30
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33
"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?"
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 14:11-14
Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense. Proverbs 10:13
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. James 3:17
Mini Bible Study: Faith
In this four week mini Bible Study you will examine your faith and what it means to have faith in God. When we believe in God we then learn to walk in faith and trust God. But first we must believe, and it's up to us, we can either choose to believe in Him or not. But faith will mean nothing until we believe with all our heart that God is who He says He is.
5 STAR AMAZON REVIEW: "I really enjoyed this mini study. I like when things make you think and journal and you can focus on one aspect at a time. It was a great study."

Jackson Hole Star-Tribune
Wyoming has the second lowest rate of childhood obesity in the country right behind Utah and ahead of Colorado and Idaho.
Still almost 9 percent of 10- to 17-year-olds in Wyoming are obese, according to a report released in August by Trust for America's Health and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

I was very psyched when they showed another lesbian couple on tv and how it's about love and not just sex. I don't know why, but a lot of people seem to think that homosexuals are just perverted people who want sex all the time. Another thing I thought was great about it is that Carrie is disabled (some tend to think that people with disabilities are simply asexual), but they show her in a relationship. The woman who plays Carrie on ER, Laura Innes, was on the Today show this morning talking about role. It was great . What do you guys think about it?

"Well, I use fertilizer and a new product I got at The Home Depot."
------------------To the rational mind there can be no offense, no obscenity, no blasphemy, but only information of greater or lesser value. -- Jennifer Diane Reitz
Alaska? Help Help.
Anyway, I think they've got a really great relationship going. And while no one really says out loud "hey, we are in a relationship!" I think it sees pretty obvious to all the viewers. It's a sweet, beautiful and very very positive relationship. Although would be nice to see them do more than sit on each other's beds. But maybe there is no need to show a very obvious physical relationship. Maybe they just connect on a totally different level. I don't know. Hopefully the next season will have more answers.
And so far, I have heard nothing but praise for this new development. Much better than a werewolf definitely.
And I definitely think it's Tara.
--edited because it is Tara. Just saw Alaska's post in P&P. *phew*
------------------Want More Lin?
[This message has been edited by Lin (edited 05-10-2001).]
Linnie, how far along in the 4th season are you with Buffy? Because in Buffy episode-419 "New Moon Rising" (which was on TV over here just last night), Willow finally comes out as a dyke! Sparked by the sudden return of Oz, she realizes what her relatiosnhip with Tara really is and comes out to Buffy and tells Tara that she loves her. Yay for Willow!It's really nice that they portray love as something that's both romantic and erotic and that does not depend on gender.
Buffy -who, in that episode, expects Riley to tolerate and be okay with her odd relationship past (aka Angel)- first reacts a little startled and nervous but realizes that this isn't much different from her own situation and in the end assures Willow she's fine with it.I agree with you Linnie, yup, sure, we know what happens when Willow blows out that candle in Taras room, but I'd love to see them being more physical, simply because we see Riley and Buffy in bed all the bloody time.
[This message has been edited by Alaska (edited 05-10-2001).]
Maybe the more people that watch this show will understand that people who are disabled, also have a sexual life.
Carrie couldn't admit to some people that she was bisexual. It was hard for her, and she said she wasn't ready to tell anyone. What do you guys feel about that? I felt bad, (even though I am not bisexual or a lesbian) I think that people should be proud of who they are, they shouldn't let other people infear and worry about what they are going to say. Maybe that is easier for me to say, then for some people.
Anyways, its a good story.
"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer, but wish we didn't" -Erica Jong<~~~no thats not me :) *~*Scarleteen Advocate*~*
I'm not sure what I think about Carrie not admitting that she's bisexual to others. It was a rather quick change for her, and I probably wouldn't feel comfortable with telling everyone I was bisexual just them either. Especially after she heard all the other doctors and nurses gossiping about how Kim was a lesbian. But I'm not sure... Hopefully she'll come to feel comfortable with it.
Eek, I'm just so excited about this! LOL. Does anyone know if there's a new episode on tonight?
I obviously missed that episode because we are done with the fourth season of Buffy. Hmm.
It's okay, Star World is showing it again so I can catch it again.
------------------Want More Lin?
Lin, as someone who spends lots of time in Hong Kong: I sympathise with you having to watch Star World. It's one of the worst TV channels I've seen around the world, and I've seen lots (for censorship, and 'cos there are TOO MANY ADS! Grr...). Lovely BBC - no ads. Even if they haven't started Buffy Season 5 yet.
For those of you who missed it: Carrie went to Kim's house to give her a letter about how she felt, but another woman opened the door (Kim was seeing someone else). Carrie didn't give the woman the letter to give to Kim, but she did give it to Kim later at the hospital.
That's really all that happened... I hope they show more of their relationship next Thursday or else we'll have to wait 'til fall!!! Next week is the season finale.
I'm really glad they're showing more gay couples on tv, too, Clav. I mean, what greater way is there to get through to the minds of homophobics than television? I think Will and Grace is great, because they show Will and Jack as real human beings and not JUST homosexuals. And did you know that Karen is bisexual in real life? 'Tis true, 'Tis true.
By the way, what do you guys think about Ellen getting cancelled right after she came out?

Part of growing a business is investing in advertising. This is so because advertising helps to increase the popularity of a business, thus bringing in more customers to boost sales. That's why the same principle is being applied to online business operations.
Nowadays, online is the way to go when doing business. Based on recent studies, online stores and shops are more competitive, forcing some "brick-and-mortar" stores to close up shop. In the USA alone, many stores for dry goods, such as branded clothing and toys, have closed early in 2017 due to loss of clientele.
But before one decides to go online, what is it that should be considered to ensure that business is profitable?
Traffic. Traffic is critical when doing online business. And improved traffic can happen as a result of your webpage being listed on the first page of the search engine results, when someone does a search for the product or service that you offer.
But for this to happen, online businesses may need to hire a search engine optimization (SEO) company, to ensure the visibility of their website. The SEO company is expected to promote one's website by getting it to rank high in the search engine results.
The Pros and Cons of Hiring an SEO Company
It may be advantageous to hire an SEO company, especially when you're just starting out online, because it's expected to help your business grow through visibility. However, it may be difficult and even tedious to find a good SEO company that can help your online business.
For this, it's ill advised to simply use search engines to look for one. Instead, businesses are highly encouraged to do hard research. The most effective method is to ask those who have, or are currently availing of, an SEO company's services.
How Cost-Effective is it to Hire an SEO Company?
If you play your cards right, hiring an SEO company will be worth your money.
Because your advertising budget should be between 1% to 20% of gross income.
This, according to research, is enough to boost a business' popularity, without impairing the company's resources. And because return on investment is ensured, funds are properly utilized.
Things to Keep in Mind When Hiring an SEO Company
When hiring an SEO company, the following must be considered:
- There are risks in hiring an SEO company. You can't expect a perfect fit right away. There will always be obstacles and hurdles at the start, so you must be prepared to sit down and hash things out, to be completely clear about your expectations.
- Funding is imperative in hiring one. Sustainability of funds falls under this category.
- There's a time frame required for availing the services of an SEO company. Be clear about your long-term and short-term expected results from the SEO company with which you'll be working.
- There must be a backup plan in case hiring and availing of an SEO company's services does not work out.

Funny Girl
Stage review from The Movie Snob
Funny Girl. I'm sorry to report that it is too late for you to see Irving Lyric Stage's production of Funny Girl. I saw the show last night, and I believe it closed today. It was a thoroughly enjoyable show, even for someone like me who had never seen it before. I understand that Barbra Streisand pretty much owns the leading role of Fanny Bryce, but Kristin Dausch, the 22-year-old actress who played it in this production, did an exceptional job, especially with the singing. Based on a true story (loosely, from what Wikipedia says), the musical is the story of Fanny Bryce, a talented singer and actress who made it big in vaudeville, film, and radio way back when. She did not consider herself attractive, so she compensated by being funny--she was, perhaps, the Carol Burnett of her day. Of course there's a love story, as Fanny falls for the handsome gambler Nick Arnstein. It's a fine show, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. If you haven't ever treated yourself to a show by the Irving Lyric Stage, you are missing out!
