|Snivy, I choose you!
Jason's Heracross (唖畑のヘラクロス Ahatake's Heracros) was the first Pokémon Jason captured during his travels through Hora.
History Edit
Jason's Heracross made it's debut in Snivy, I choose you!, when Jason encountered it by running into it. He tried to capture it by throwing a Poké Ball at it, only for it to bat it back. Sending Snivy out to battle it, Heracross proved to be a powerful battler, using Night Slash to great effect, but it took damage from Snivy's Leaf Tornado and Leaf Blade (though it blocked the Leaf Blade with it's own Horn Attack). It was soon caught by Jason, becoming the first Pokémon he caught during Johto.
During Pokémon Emergency!, Heracross was woken up by Snivy while the group was sleeping in a Pokémon Center, due to hearing Team Rocket skulking around. Through Snivy's leadership, Heracross and she moved through the Pokémon Center, until Jason woke up and was able to effectively give them orders with which to fend off Team Rocket. Despite this, outside, a large Helicopter was sucking up Poké Balls, and Jason tried to use Heracross to combat it. However, none of Heracross' attacks could make a dent...until it learned Aerial Ace, using this new attack, it tore through the helicopter, and suction tube. Jason then used Heracross to fend off Team Rocket until the authorities arrived, and it was using Heracross' Endure that Jason realised he'd be fit for Pokémon Contests.
Heracross next appeared in First Pokémon Gym Battle! Victory over the Gardenia Twins?, as part of Jason's double-battle in the Gardenia Town Gym, alongside Snivy. Using it to battle Zangoose, Heracross proved to be a reselient opponent, meeting Axel's Zangoose move for move. Despite the opponents being tough, Heracross managed to defeat Zangoose with a powerful Horn Attack. It then went into combat against Snorlax alongside the newly evolved Servine, the two using great teamwork to bring down the Sleeping Pokémon and win Jason his Gym Battle.
In Trouble at the Day Care!, Heracross was left to train with the Day Care Couple.
It was mentioned by Ivory in Three-on-Three! Jason and Silus, Together Again!
Physiology Edit
Heracross are large beetle-like Pokémon covered in a blue exoskeleton. The most notable feature is the large, pronged horn protruding out of its forehead. Heracross has two antennae with spherical tips to the sides of the horn, and elliptical eyes with yellow scleras. Heracross has small spiky extensions on the forearm segments of its exoskeleton, and two claws on its hands. Heracross has a single spiky extension on each thigh, and one pointed toe on its feet
Abilities and Traits Edit
Heracross is surprisingly strong for its size, and is able to knock down massive trees with its mighty horn. Heracross can use said horn to lift other Pokémon, and its shell is said to be as tough as steel. Heracross is also able to fly, and is even depicted to be strong enough in its flying to transport its Trainer over limited distances.
It's ability Moxie allows its Attack rises by one stage when it causes another Pokémon to faint through direct damage
Moves usedEdit

Andy Flower's decision to step down from the England team is a fair one although it cannot have been an easy one.
He goes with my best wishes for the future and with an appreciation of all that he did for the team while he was in charge.
It was a golden era for English cricket under him and Andrew Strauss, and the house they built was something for us all to be proud of.
But like all good things it must come to an end at some point and with Strauss leaving just over a year ago, this feels like the right time for Flower to step aside and let someone else take the team forward.
The England set-up does need a freshening up. Some new ideas and a new approach to life on and off the field.
I think Australia taught England more than a few lessons this winter, from the way they went about their cricket out in the middle, to the way they interacted with people once the play had finished.
The siege mentality operated by England has been sad to see in recent times.
They have had a lot to be happy about before this winter but you wouldn't know they were enjoying themselves.
I'd like to see them get some enjoyment back in their cricket, and start playing the game in a more flamboyant style.
The game is about winning and entertaining and for a while I've been looking for more aggression and positivity about England's cricket.
Perhaps the new man will bring that to the job.

For the first time ever, fleaBITE performed live.
Rainbow's End, Manukau City, Auckland, September 2016.
After two awards for Best NZ Children's album, another for best (animated) music clip, and hundreds of requests to perform at venues around the country, I finally said YES!
This is the reason:
Danny Berg, entertainment manager of Rainbow's End, contacted me with an email full of flattery and promise. He had the vision, enthusiasm, backing and venue to make it all possible. What's more, he employed a cast of six (including singer, Shaan Antunovich, plus dancers), led by the fabulous Paulo Va'a.
Basically Danny produced the work, and I had input into the direction of the show, without the usual task of re-inventing the wheel. In my world, this sort of thing rarely happens.
After many years of composing, recording and producing material on my own in a darkened cave, I was initially reluctant to hand it over to complete strangers, but our first meeting allayed my fears. Shaan and Paulo were professional, and really 'got' my sense of humour. We listened through to the songs and I wrote down everyone's ideas. Then left the writing pad behind by mistake.
The final show was sharp, surprising, and funny. We aimed to let each song tell it's own visual story. Sometimes the direction was obvious, eg THE JUNGLE IS JUMPING (animals, movement, danger).
And sometimes it took a while to discover the key, e.g. PARADISE. This song has a cruisy Pacific vibe, but is basically about losing your temper. It took many attempts to nail this, but in the end it became my favourite.
Although the fleaBITE show was performed for a matter of months (rather than a year as originally intended), it gave us the opportunity to create a fab new high quality, live performance children's show. Thanks to Danny Berg, Shaan Antunovich, Paulo Va'a, and the dancers: Ashleigh Clarke, Francesca Cox, Beth Hunt and Maria-Angela Va'a.
I would love to tour this show to arts festivals around the country. Would the next fleaBITE patron (or matron) please step forward…?

Choosing a Website Design Company
How can you be sure that the web designer you are about to hire is the best? With a little research, you can feel comfortable and confident about your choice. The first step when hiring web designers Adelaide is to look at their website. Is it well designed and appealing? Does it grab your attention? How easy is it to navigate? Is there information there up-to-date? If a web designer does not have a good website, it just shows that they cannot design your website. Or can you entrust such a web designer your project? We both know the answer.
Ask for references: Any reputable web designer should not have any problem providing recommendations to you for sites they have created. It is the least a web designer can do to prove to you that they are the best. Ensure that the website design company you are considering has the necessary experience to create the type of website you want.
Do you know how you want your website to look and the intended use of the site? Having a bright idea and vision of what you want, will make the work of the web designer comfortable as he/she will work towards achieving just that to ensure that you are happy with the result.
If you are not sure of what will work for you, you can engage your web designer and let him give your ideas and also show you different designs so that you can make a decision. If you are not on the same page with your designer, then your project will take longer than expected and indeed run over budget.
As mentioned above, you need to know the purpose of your website. Is your website going to be an informational site? Are selling goods and services online? Do you want your visitors to sign up for emails? Do want the visitors to your website to interact in some manner, download files, participate in discussions, or click on ads?
Knowing the goal of your website will help you determine which web designer will suit your needs best. There are different types of websites. Portfolio sites, E-commerce sites, and information sites just to name a few. Although many web designers have a wide range of abilities, some designers will specialise in one type of website. Be clear when defining your requirements to your website design company to ensure that they get it right. Also, make sure they have adequate experience in the kind of website design that you are eyeing.
After your website is done with the design, there will come a time when you have to update some information. For example, you might need to add a new phone number, update products and services and so on. Will you be handling the update yourself or would you rather have your web designer update your website? Letting your web designer know this in advance will help him/her know the right approach. For example, he might decide to use an easy to use content so that you can do the updates yourself or a more sophisticated system if he will handle the updates.
Finally, you should be looking to hire web designers Adelaide with a lot of information when it comes to SEO. After all, after some time, you will want your website to rank among the top in major search engines. By following all the tips above, finding a web design company will not be much of a problem.

There is something powerful about this time of year, Christmas that is, that brings out a desire in me to explore the best of Christianity. For most, Christmas is a time of celebration and rejoicing. For others it can be a time of remorse and pain. No matter which camp you're in this holiday season, the power of the birth of Jesus transcends our own mortal feelings or regrets around Christmas. In other words... (swallows hard before typing the next words)... Christmas isn't about us.
Don't get me wrong, Christmas is FOR us completely. Without the birth of Christ, we're hopeless. But really, Christmas is about God and God alone. For centuries, or at least as long as us humans have been around before that fateful evening in Bethlehem, God was united completely and wholly. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Complete. Heaven was their place, eternal and unblemished.
Then in one small moment amidst the centuries of human existence, Heaven was divided for the first time. God watched as a part of himself was placed gently on this earth. Feet that were always clean became dusty. Hands that created the seas and mountains were suddenly holding hammers and getting splinters. A body once clothed in the splendor of the sun now carried around clothes with stains and tatters. For the first time ever, for 33 years at least, Heaven was incomplete.
All for us.
Yes, we are the focus and reason for the journey from the manger to the Cross. Yes, our sin is what drove this wedge into perfection. And yes, it is all for us. But everything, everything in this season points to God.
Not us.
We've taken THE moment that begins our redemption and salvation and swung the arrow of attention backwards, onto us. I've spoken often and candidly about how I have drug this season through the mire of my own greed and ignorance. I took a moment of peace and joy and turned it into commercials and extravagance highlighted by shiny bows and cool wrapping paper. The biggest problem with this devaluation of the manger is that no present, no bow, no mere gift can contain the heart of the Christmas season: forgiveness.
At times forgiveness comes wrapped in a small box, in a quiet request that heals a relational rift. Other times, no major headline on every news feed is big enough to handle the volume we need to express in asking for forgiveness. And yet, God's forgiveness was complete enough it could be held in a food trough, cooing softly, eyes taking in the wonder of his own creation for the first time as a part of his own creation.
Yes, this moment was for us. But do not get confused about the meaning and heart of Christmas... its for us, but it is all about God. This year, let every gift you unwrap be done remembering that moment. Let every regret pass through the understanding of how far God went to redeem us. Let every celebratory toast and hearty song be a moment we use to remember that we're all following that star that leads to Bethlehem.
Matthew 2: 9 - 11 9After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was.10When they saw the star, they were filled with joy!11They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. (NLT)

Resource Center
Urban In-Fill and Land Use Patterns
It's often said that the three most important factors in real estate investing are "location, location, location." Multi-family housing is subject to this truism in special ways. We'll explore here the phenomenon of urban in-fill and some ways in which larger cities tend to grow.
How cities develop – and where demand for new development is most likely to occur – is a key part of analyzing a property's prospects. Investors able to identify a pattern in how that growth unfolds will have discovered one of the keys to successful real estate investing. A major factor in that development is the important factor of accessibility, i.e. transportation routes.
Many cities have historically grown along highways that radiate out from the city, like spokes on a wheel. The focus is the central business district; as the area grows, homes and businesses are sited along the transportation routes that permit easy access to the center. While these "spokes" lead the way, the general growth pattern of cities is more complicated, and is often referred to as "concentric growth," or the "ring pattern." This refers to closer-in circles around the business district being filled in first, with outlying areas eventually becoming more populated as well. Many cities thus develop somewhat of a "star" pattern, with the spokes leading the way and the circles gradually filling in with development.
At some point, however, further radial expansion becomes of less value, simply because the transportation time and cost to the city center begins to become discouraging. Cities must then continue to develop their infrastructure internally, in order to keep up with the increased population. Not only does this internal development often serve market demand – witness the increasing number of "urban lofts" – but higher densities can also reduce per-capita infrastructure costs.
Good city planning thus uses transit-oriented development, which attempts to place higher densities of jobs or residents near high-volume transportation. Some cities might even use zoning to require that multi-story apartment buildings and commercial areas be within a certain proximity of train stations or multi-lane boulevards. When a city reaches a certain density, trains or light rail systems become increasingly viable. New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and San Francisco all have well developed commuter train systems, and Los Angeles and other cities are increasingly spending significant resources on commuter train lines in order to limit congestion on over-utilized highways.
These transportation developments can then act to spur gentrification in what might have formerly been lower-income areas. As workers become better linked to employment centers, the new transportation routes can encourage investment in areas that had previously suffered neglect and economic depression. As transportation costs diminish, household income becomes available to be spent on more consumer goods, spawning growth in retail sectors as well.
Access to transportation remains a key factor in evaluating real estate development, and within larger cities the construction of train or light-rail lines are becoming increasingly important in providing access to downtown areas or other employment centers. In city areas slated to become the beneficiaries of such new means of transportation, real estate investors often see opportunities, particularly in the multi-family sector, as demand for housing near such transportation routes is often likely to increase.

So many of the houses in our area make no sense to me. You have 4 to 5 bedroom homes with decent sized kitchens and the smallest eating nook area, fit for approximately 4 people. Now most homes have formal dinning rooms, but most people don't use them on a daily basis. Many of our friends use them as toy rooms or for other purposes.
So as a family of 6 that needed more space, we took our eating nook
from this.......... to this.
Two challenges, a tight budget and we needed to make our small area fit 6-7 people comfortably and still be able to maneuver to the patio door without squeezing through or moving a table/chairs.
A banquette or breakfast nook was our best bet and we had the perfect wall for it!
Like most of our home projects, we had a small budget to work with. First we hit up the local Habitat Restore for some recycled cabinets. We bought 3 sets of over the refrigerator cabinets that made a perfect bench.
Helpers. Future thrifters. It's in their blood... right Grandma Julia!?! :)
Another score for the day was 4 wooden chairs with vinyl covered teal cushions. I fell in love with the color. And since I couldn't do my kitchen cabinets in white like I had wanted (back in this post) I envisioned white everything for the banquette (except for some pops of color)
And at just $5 each it was a steal of a deal for these chairs!!
White paint can work wonders. It doesn't even look like the same chair.
This was our eating area before. Without the leaf in it. It was tight. For two chairs on one side it needed the leaf in the middle.
Here it was with the leaf in it... but then it just made it too tight for the space.
(we put the leaf in it for the BOTW commercial last year, hence the guy with the headphones and giant light)
You had to move the chair at the right end all the way in, just to get to the sliding door. It was a pain.
The third phase of our eating area before we found time to build the banquette was just using a white table and our new
used rehabbed chairs. That table really started brightening up that area a ton.
Finally-- The Nook:
We took a weekend we had no plans and pulled the trigger to start the big project.
First, we measured our area and then hit up Home Depot. We had a piece of white plywood cut for the top of the bench. We also picked up some 2x4's for the bottom frame "bones" of the bench.
The weekend prior I had sanded, primed and sprayed the cabinets.
John's fine job at putting together the foundation of the banquette.
Mason was clearly shocked at how well his parents were doing at this DIY job :)
It was coming together. We didn't need to nail it to the wall since it's heavy enough that it doesn't slide.
Three or four boys can fit nicely on one side now.
We used it like this for about a month or so until my mom sewed the cushions for the back and seating. I really need to take the time and learn to sew!! It's on my bucket, really!
Here's the final look. My mom is amazing at sewing and upholstery work. I'm eventually going to put a large white pendant drum shade above like this one. But in the meantime I couldn't pass up this fun little tiffany pendant light that was 90% off at Home Depot, yep just $19.00. Someday I'll learn not to buy something just because it's on sale. Maybe??!
There's so much more room to get around to the sliding door. An actually path now. Even when people are sitting in the chairs you can fit around easily.
I bought 2, 1 1/2 inch thick foam pieces at JoAnn Fabrics for the seat and the back. They always have a 40% off coupon for one item which came in handy. Then I bought white vinyl for the bottom seating - easy to wipe up when kids spill stuff on a daily basis :) For the back cushion I bought a grey microfiber material. It's soft and easy to clean as well.
And the extra storage is just a big ole bonus!
BTW... before I resourced my mom for the upholstery job, I looked online and priced out some giant custom cushions for the bench. I about fell over. It was over $500 to order just one and I needed two. Ugh... just further confirming that I need to start sewing!
My mom did an excellent job making covers for both. We slid them over the foam forms and sewed them up at the far ends. Mom also made the piping for the back cushion. It definitely makes it look more finished and professional. The last thing was tufting the bottom cushion. It had to be done because the white vinyl cover was sliding all over the place around the foam. I picked up some cheap pearl-ish looking buttons at a craft store for $2 per 8 pack. We measured and sewed them in. My moms poor finger tips were about raw by the time it was done... but look how great it turned out!! :)
I used giant velcro strips that I stuck to the cushion and the wooden bench to help keep it in place.
Last... I'll be looking for an oval table I can refinish white and replace this rectangle table. We all bump our knees and shins on the table legs. A pedestal table would be ideal for something like this. Eventually we'll have one there.
Overall, we're very happy with the way it turned out. We've been using it for over 6 months now and it's improved the functionality of our kitchen space tremendously!
Hurray for saving us probably $2k on this project! Now on to the next one...

U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariff on Mexican goods has the country's oil industry considering just how much it needs the American market.
A 20 percent border tax to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. means Canadian oil-sands competitors will enjoy a leg up and U.S. motorists will suffer higher prices at the pump due to the tariff on Mexican oil.
Pemex, Mexico's principal producer, isn't waiting for Trump's plan to come to reality. The state-owned company has already been reducing its reliance on the U.S. In the first 11 months of 2016, Mexico exported 48 percent of its crude to the U.S., down from 69 percent in 2014, according to Mexico's Energy Information Agency data. Asian buyers took 26 percent while Europe accounted for 23 percent.

I thought I'd try my luck at making some costume jewelry (at least for my daughters, if not my wife as well). I still may use a metal printing service like Shapeways for nicer jewelry for my wife, but the homemade 3D printed jewelry has the kid-advantage of being cheap, very light, and a fun project for them.
For these earrings, I grabbed the model from Thingiverse, printed them with black ABS filament, and then used silver nail polish to finish them off.

The Driver's Cat
What is it?
The entry-level driver-focused Jaguar XE which is supposed to be driven.
How does it look?
The test car that we had came in this beautiful shade of blue as you can see in the image. The XE makes its intentions clear starting from the way it looks. The front end looks sharp and aggressive. It's like similar to a crouching cat ready to attack the prey. Basically, the aggressive nature of car synchronises well with the way it looks. Once you are inside the cabin post half a squat, the tan leather seats and upholstery, basically everything in the cabin feels plush and premium. Starting from the fabric of the seats, the quality of materials, the touch and feel of everything on the inside feels nice and upmarket-something that one should expect in a Jaguar. The panoramic sunroof gives a roomy and airy feel to the cabin. The touchscreen system comes with the latest In Control Pro unit housed in a 10.1 inch touchscreen. You get 360 degree camera views and all around parking sensor displays on it which can be really helpful while coping with Mumbai traffic.
So is it the Drivers Jag?
Indeed. I have tested the entire Jaguar range right from the XE to the F Type. Of Course comparing the XE with the latter will be absolutely bollocks but the XE is indeed a very very involving car. We were testing the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol variant which pumps out a healthy 237bhp of power and 340NM of torque. Jag says the ton can be achieved in 6.8 seconds which is really impressive and will be more than enough for most of your needs.
The only disappointing bit in my opinion is the gearbox. The 8-speed torque convertor automatic unit isn't the smoothest while shifting and if you compare it with a dual-clutch unit as seen on its german rivals, the difference is quite visible. ( I do have a personal bias against Torque convertors anyway). The gears are held up aggressively at times which can be slightly nerving in traffic. Another thing that might let you down a bit is the turbo lag. It is slightly hesitant getting off the line i.e the first second or so (that's the case with any turbo charged petrol car) but once you are in the meat of the powerband (3000rpm-5500rpm), things do get nice and sporty.
The steering- yes- the steering is one of the nice bits on the baby Jag. The size, placement and the feel is exactly where it needs to be. I have said this about the XF as well, the ergonomics of these new age Jags are really spot on. Everything in the cabin feels as if it has been designed around and for the driver. The suspension is slightly on the stiffer side which helps when translates into better control while driving and is quite liveable with as well for an everyday basis. Slotting the drive select into comfort mode does smoothen up things considerably.
Should I buy one?
As I have mentioned before in our previous reviews as well, a Jaguar grabs more eyeballs than any of its German counterparts in our country and the XE is no exception. It will make sure that wherever you go, you WILL be noticed and if you are behind the wheel yourself, you'll most probably reach there with a smile on your face. Yes, a BMW might be more involving to drive and a Mercedes or an Audi will have more space, but the Jag has a really strong character of its own.
If you like being behind the wheel yourself all the time, the Jaguar XE can be your perfect companion.

Breathing drawing me under, captivating spell swirling, drawing me darker.
Believing there would be light washing my past misgivings.
Rather than redemption, my care sunk us, essence robbed from my body.
Concurrence slipped me under, entranced by your eyes, stilled by your smile, weighed by your caress.
Slowly losing air, spilling my mind, leaching my soul.
Leaving me balled, trying to hold these shattered pieces together.
Nothing left to pull together. Too broken to ever feel whole.
Stealing my pieces as you drifted away.

|Chiropractic Care and Chronic Pain
Chiropractic care is an essential component of a broad-based approach to the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Medication alone is never an effective solution to chronic pain as it does not address the root causes of the problem. On the other hand, if biomechanical issues are part of the overall cause, chiropractic care is able to provide a great deal of benefit.
Chronic musculoskeletal pain often has its origins in spinal misalignments. These restrictions in spinal joint mobility may be due to long-term postural inefficiencies or to an old injury - a fall, a motor vehicle accident, or a bending-and-lifting back spasm that took a long time to heal. If spinal misalignments persist, other structures begin to compensate. Sacroiliac joints and ligaments get tight. Hip joints lose some mobility. Knee and ankle motion are compromised, and eventually chronic back pain, hip pain, and/or knee pain develops.
Chiropractic care addresses the cause of these many problems by analyzing, identifying, and correcting spinal alignments. As the biomechanical function of your spine improves, so does the mobility of all other weight-bearing joint such as your hips, knees, and ankles. As a direct result, chronic pain begins to reduce and resolve.

About the Book:
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
BOOK REVIEW | A Portrait of Emily Price by Katherine Reay – A Classy Masterpiece
This can be traced back to one thing – the style in which the book is written. Aside from an epilogue, the story is told, not just in the first person but entirely through letters, and it was a context that made me read with trepidation. Nonetheless I went through with reading and oh my, what a treat Dear Mr. Knightly was. These are the best kind of novels.
Maybe that's what love is—sacrificing yourself to save another, taking the insult or taking the hit."
Samantha is a character easy to relate to, not necessarily because of her sad past but because she is scared to step outside her comfort zone, she is afraid that she's capable of doing something worth anyone's notice or time. Those of us who have ever dreamed of doing something that requires criticism or opening ourselves up to others will understand this – we've all struggled with being accepted or emotional around someone, and in reading this, Samantha was less "figment" and much more, real. In more instances than one I was both sympathetic, and felt a connection with her. As if she and I shared the same insecurities or worries that life throws our way.
Above all, those qualities are this debut's crowning glory – it's not just an expert piece of fiction, it becomes very "real." What Reay did for her heroine was strip her of all her protective shields so that Sam could find her own "voice" and stand out to be the person she never thought she would come to be.
Q&A with Katherine Reay
Synopsis: Samantha Moore has always hidden behind the words of others—namely her favorite characters in literature. Now, she will learn to write her own story—by giving that story to a complete stranger.

WASHINGTON The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Wednesday it had filed a lawsuit against Sprint Corp., alleging it illegally processed improper third-party billing charges marking the first time the agency has pursued a telecommunications firm.
The CFPB claims that Sprint allowed vendors to place "tens of millions of dollars" in unauthorized charges on cell phone bills and ignored consumer complaints about the third-party charges. The agency is seeking court approval to require Sprint to refund affected consumers and pay penalties.
"Today we are suing Sprint for allowing illegal charges to be crammed onto consumers' wireless bills," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray in a press release. "Consumers ended up paying tens of millions of dollars in unauthorized charges, even though many of them had no idea that third parties could even place charges on their bills. As the use of mobile payments grows, we will continue to hold wireless carriers accountable for illegal third-party billing."
The CFPB said from 2004 to 2013, Sprint outsourced payment processing for digital purchases like games and apps that came through text messages with hidden charges, but failed to monitor the vendors charging those fees. Most of the harmed consumers would first click on an advertisement online that would direct them to a website asking for their cell phone number in order to get a "free" digital item but would then charge the consumer for it. In other cases, the CFPB said vendors were fabricating the charges without ever sending the product.
"The charges ranged from one-time fees of about $0.99 $4.99 to monthly subscriptions that cost about $9.99 a month," the CFPB said. "Sprint received a 30-40% cut of the gross revenue from these charges."
The CFPB acknowledged that Sprint stopped billing for the premium short messaging services last December. The CFPB worked with the Federal Communications Commission on the investigation. The suit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

District: School in June likely to make up for snow days
Students in one Upstate county will likely be in school in June, thanks to snow days that need to be made up.
Kyle Newton, spokesman for Anderson County School District 5, said Anderson County students will likely attend school in June, after they missed five days of school in January and February because of snow.
School administrators decided Monday to recommend that students use scheduled makeup days on June 2, 3 and 4 for Anderson-based District 5.
A teacher work day scheduled for May 31 would be moved to June 5.
All Anderson County school districts follow the same calendar.

Event: ASASSN-V J195442.95+172212.6 (TCP J19544251+1722281 = Vend47), originally classified as a semiregular variable, has been reclassified as a symbiotic variable as a result of its being discovered in outburst by Robert Fidrich during the course of his "Vendégcsillag-kereső" (Guest Star Hunter) nova patrol program. Subsequent spectroscopy confirmed the nature of the object as a symbiotic variable.
August 13, 2018
Event: Nova in Ophiuchus - N Oph 2018 No. 3 = PNV J17422408-2053088
Discovered by: C. Jacques, J. Barros, E. Pimentel, and P. Holvorcem, on behalf of the Brazilian Transient Search - BraTS (at SONEAR Observatory, Oliveira, Brazil); via TOCP
Discovery magnitude: unfiltered CCD magnitude 11.1 (on three frames, 10-sec exposure, using an astrograph 11" f/2.2 + CCD camera)
Discovery date: 2018 August 08.9596 UT
August 6, 2018 : Further to AAVSO Alert Notice 640, the SU UMa-type dwarf nova VW Hyi is in outburst and is the subject of a multiwavelength campaign designed to detect possible radio emission during the outburst.
July 31, 2018: Michael Stroh (Ph.D. candidate, University of New Mexico) requests AAVSO assistance in monitoring 20 LPVs in support of a VLA campaign studying SiO masers. AAVSO monitoring begins now and goes through October 2019.
July 27, 2018: Dr. Colin Littlefield (University of Notre Dame) writes:
"In both 2016 and 2017, my colleagues and I requested AAVSO campaigns on the intermediate polar FO Aquarii to study its first-ever faint states. In both campaigns, we were delighted with both the quality and quantity of the data that we received from AAVSO observers [AAVSO Alert Notices 545, 598).
July 25, 2018: John Strachan (Ph.D. candidate, Queen Mary University of London) and Dr. Guillem Anglada-Escude (Queen Mary University of London) have requested AAVSO assistance in the monitoring of three M dwarf stars as part of the Red Dots #2 campaign.
July 24, 2018: Dr. Matt Darnley (Astrophysics Research Institute, Liverpool John Moores University) and the AAVSO are requesting monitoring of ASASSN-18pe, the cataclysmic variable (possible long period dwarf nova) discovered 2018 July 10 by the ASAS-SN program (J. Strader et al. ATel #11867) at magnitude V = 15.8.
July 24, 2018: Dr. Dirk Froebrich (University of Kent) has requested AAVSO observations to support their upcoming observations of V1490 Cyg. He writes:
"Background: We have recently discovered that the young star V1490 Cyg (situated in the Pelican Nebula IC 5070) is periodically occulted by material in its circumstellar disk(*). Our light-curves indicate a period of about 32 days, and the obscurations are comparable to UX-Ori type eclipses.
July 3, 2018: The symbiotic variable CH Cyg is undergoing a fade that began on June 25. Multicolor photometry is requested; V and particularly B should take priority over Rc and Ic. Observations made two to three times a week are sufficient; time series observations are not needed. Visual observations are also requested and encouraged. Spectroscopy would be very welcome and appreciated. Coverage should continue throughout the observing season.
July 2, 2018
Event: Nova in Scutum - N Sct 2018 = TCP J18292290-1430460

Families can sign up by the month at the rate of $10/class. Drop-ins are $12. Second children (siblings in the same class) are half price. Same for additional siblings.
Baby Beats (9:30am – 10:15am)
This is currently an inactive class, due to our last batch of babies growing into the mixed age class. We are happy to take enrollment, and will notify you when we have a minimum of 8 babies attending. Please send us a message using the contact form here if you are interested in attending.
A special time for babies and their caregivers, this is an intimate class with lots of opportunity for bonding. It focuses on the amazing capacity of these young ones for growing smarter through music. By watching, listening, and sensing, the babies learn to feel steady beat and discern correct pitches. Before anyone expects, they are copying these same musical qualities with their own bodies and voices. Most people don't know that this type of loving and supportive early musical culture, gives children the skills they need to play in a symphony orchestra, old-time, or rock band as adults.
Joy Jammers (10:30am – 11:30am)
A mixed age class for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and their caregivers. Seasonal songs celebrate the abundance of nature we share in Floyd County with fun songs, lots of movement, scarves, balls, and rhythm instruments. Grandparents and other extended family members are always welcome to watch or play along, too. Sharing music fun as a family is the best way to build your child's love of music. For children up to 6 years.Find Out MorePay Online

Review: Everlost by Neal Shusterman
I really liked Everlost! This book is just so good, I can't tell you! It takes a very unique view of what happens to us when we die, and oh, it was just amazing!
A lot of thought has gone into this book; a lot of urban fantasies I've read lately have been based around some sort of myth, but as far as I can tell, Everlost has been completely made up, and the world building is just brilliant! The rules of the world, the way this new world effects some people, the "magic" of the world; with each page turned, there's something to be amazed by, but it's not so farfetched as to not be believable. As I was reading, it just seemed that this place between life and death could actually exist, but I couldn't tell you if this is a place I'd want to go to or not.
I really loved the cultural and historic references in this book. As well as people making their way to Everlost, objects and buildings can make their way there, too, for various reasons. One of the main settings in Everlost are the Twin Towers, and it plays an important part in the story as what it stands for, for certain characters. The Twin Towers aren't the only "things" to have come to Everlost that a reader will recognise either from their own life, or as from historical events. It's just superb how Neal has interwoven real real life into his story; it does that little bit more to make Everlost believable.
There are some really great characters in this story! Everlost is a multiple point of view story, and so we get to understand on a certain level all five of the main characters; Nick, Allie, Lief, Mary and the McGill. Nick is a little deluded by Mary, but through some of the events that happen in the book, he becomes a really strong and powerful character. Allie is stubborn and in denial at first, but she's smart, and she sees things – and people – for what they really are; Lief is such a lovely boy! I really wanted to give him a hug so many times; he's sweet and kind, and his own version of brave. Mary is hard to figure out exactly, she has her heart in the right place in some ways, but she's also kind of selfish in others – I actually think she's quite twisted and disturbing. The McGill I can't really get into, but I'll tell you he's complicated. Together, they all make for interesting reading!
The action in the novel isn't action as I normally use the word, it's more a series of events that move the story forward; if one event didn't happen, the ones that followed wouldn't either. Suspense and wonder run throughout the novel, and you can't help but keep reading! Everlost is a real page turner!
If I was to criticise anything in the book, it would be Mary and Nick's relationship. No, not their relationship exactly, more how they're in love with each other. In my opinion, not enough happens between them for them to be in love; they fancy each other, yes, perhaps are even infatuated with each other, but it doesn't feel like love to me. There isn't enough development in their relationship for love, but that's just my opinion.
All in all, Everlost is a fantastic book, and I implore you all to give it a go! Next on my reading list is Everwild, the sequel, which is released on 4th February, and I can't wait to pick it up! Really, this is such an awesome book, you must read it!
Thanks to Simon and Schuster UK for sending me a review copy.

Wow, you're fast! I'm glad you liked the review! It's such a brilliant book! I loved it!ReplyDelete
Enjoyed the review! I was definitely curious to see what this author's other works were like, having just recently read/reviewed The Shadow Club. Although I'm a little hesitant on the multiple narrator bit, I'd still be interested to give this one a try as the story sounds very intriguing. Thanks for sharing....and happy reading! =0)ReplyDelete
Thank you! Oh, multi POV isn't a big problem with me, and it was pretty much necessary for this story! It's such a good book, I do hope you give it a go! :)ReplyDelete
This sounds like a great book! Nice review!ReplyDelete
Great review! I'm really looking forward to reading this one :o)ReplyDelete
I loved Unwind so I'm looking forward to diving into this one. Even though it's been on my shelf since it came out... :)ReplyDelete
Kirthi - Thank you! It's such a great book!ReplyDelete
Sarah - Thanks! Oh, it's awesome, I hope you enjoy it!
Sophie - Oh, pick it up soon, it's awesome! I've yet to read Unwind, but that may change soon! :)
You describe this book quite well 9though I've never read it), you make me want to pick up the book and read. I like reading multiple POV and I have a love/hate relationship with suspense (I love it but I hate when I have to put a book down for school!) It bothers me when I'm not able to understand the romantic relationship between two people.ReplyDelete
Out of curiousity, is this book about a POC or is the author a POC?
I'm glad you liked the review! I do hope you read it, it's a great book! The author is POC :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for clearing that up for me :)ReplyDelete
Added to my wishlist/tbr pile
No problem! :) Great, I hope you enjoy it!ReplyDelete

The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has said that there is no in-fighting or leadership tussle in the organisation especially over who is acting managing director in the agency.
In a statement signed by Acting General Manager Public Affairs, Mrs. Olajumoke Adetona and made available to the press, recent press reports have given the impression that there is an on-going power tussle by some management staff of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency over the position of acting Managing Director / Chief Executive of the Agency.
He statement read,"Such unsubstantiated, deliberately planted reports are a complete figment of the imagination of the authors, who maliciously hope to profit from the confusion the false reports are capable of causing."
"As soon as the Hon. Minister of Transportation Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi became aware that some top officials of the Agency (including the MD/CE) had been held by the EFCC, he personally visited the Agency on Tuesday 16th February, 2016 and gave clear directives to Engr. Emmanuel Anasi (Acting Director of Safety Electronics and Engineering Services) to oversee the affairs of the Agency for the time being."
"At no time thereafter did any management staff seek to contest or dispute the clear directives of the Hon. Minister with regard to the interim leadership of the Agency."
"Management therefore appeals to the mass media to, in line with the ethics of their profession, always endeavour to verify information being dished out to the general public to avert the panic and confusion such false reports are capable of generating."
"We hereby wish to assure the general public that NAMA remains fully engaged in the diligent performance of its statutory duties and responsibilities, and there is no threat whatsoever to the safety of our air space."
NFD in one of its reports also insinuated that there was a leadership tussle in NAMA and that another acting Managing director was appointed.
Meanwhile, in line with its determination to provide seamless air navigation services and also enhance safety of air travel within the nation's airspace, the agency has facilitated the signing of letters of procedures between Kano Area Control Centre (ACC) and Abuja Approach Control Unit (APC) on the one hand and between Lagos Area Control Centre (ACC) and Port Harcourt Approach Control Unit (APC) on the other.
The letters of procedures which spells out the condition under which the responsibility for provision of air traffic services shall be shared between the parent Area Control Centre and the subordinate Approach Control Units also specifies flow control procedures during periods of congestion, just as it specifies procedures to follow in the event of total or partial communication failure between air traffic control services unit and an aircraft among others.
Speaking during the signing of the Letters of Procedures by Air Traffic Operations Managers (ATOMs) from the four major airports of Lagos, Kano, Abuja and Port Harcourt at the agency's headquarters in Lagos, on Monday, the General Manager, Air Traffic Control Operations, Mr Ifeanyi Okwor, explained that the signing of Letters of Procedures "was informed by recent changes in the structure of the airspace like extension of en-route radar service to 24 hours daily and other changes that we have effected lately. "
"We need to capture all these changes in the Letters of Procedure especially as it has to do with the operational relationship between parent ACCs and the subordinate APCs, as an ICAO requirement targeted at enhancing seamlessness and safety in air traffic management."
