Resist the tyranny of the urgent
Back to the matter of prayer: We need to pray for God to give us wisdom to be able to discern the difference between importance and urgency. In Matthew 23 we see the Pharisees focusing a lot of attention on important and obvious things--tithing, etc., while they missed the important things. Jesus pointed out to them in verse 23 that they missed justice, mercy, and faithfulness. He says, "You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former." So Jesus isn't saying that the activities they were doing were wrong, but he explained they had their priorities mixed up. They missed the important things.
Many many of us can say we are really busy, and legitimately so. Perhaps we even use the phrase "too busy." Being busy doesn't necessarily mean that we're busy with important things. Consider that we can be very busy doing things that are unimportant when ordered around what God considers important for His glory and for eternity.
Satan is trying very hard to keep us busy and to prevent us from doing what is truly important. In Nehemiah 6:3 some men were trying to distract Nehemiah from continuing his responsibility on the city wall. Nehemiah knew what to say to this distraction:
"I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down."
After 5 persistent requests to come down, Nehemiah prays in verse 9
"Now strengthen my hands."
We need to be praying for God to lead us to put effort into the important things, and then we need to pray for endurance and commitment!
Another example Nancy Leigh DeMoss highlights is in the Gospel of John when Jesus finds out about the death of Lazarus. Jesus, rather than rushing to him to do the urgent thing: keep him from dying, he waited and did the important thing: raised Lazarus from the dead. And in waiting and focusing on what God wanted him to do, Jesus was able to something great and bring glory to His Father!

The airflow in the mouth of an open and closed flue organ pipe of corresponding geometrical proportions is studied. The phase locked particle image velocimetry with subsequent analysis by the biorthogonal decomposition is employed in order to compare the flow mechanisms and related features. The most significant differences lie in the mean velocity distribution and rapidity of the jet lateral motion. Remarks on the pressure estimation from PIV data and its importance for the aeroacoustic source terms are made and a specific example is discussed.

The aim of the paper was to develop determination methods of sedimentation characteristics using PIV image anemometry and suspension image analysis. Two methods of the investigation of sed- imentation process based on visualization techniques were developed. In the first one, using PIV method, vector fields of the velocity of settling particles are determined and then average particle velocities are calculated to establish the so called sedimentation dynamics curve. In the second one, the methods of suspension image analysis are utilized to determine the positions of the upper dis- continuity and to establish the sedimentation curve. Laboratory research on the sedimentation of agalit particles suspended in glycerine was conducted (using PIV method). Additionally, industrial research on the sedimentation of water-absorbing granular material used after the first carbonation (carbonation I) was conducted in a sugar factory (using the second method). The research consisted of photographic registration of images of the settling suspension by means of the time-lapse photog- raphy technique. A laboratory study was conducted for four values of the volume concentration of agalit particles in glycerine (0.5; 1.0; 1.5 and 2.0 vol%). The research methodology, the scope of the conducted measurements and sample research results together with conclusions are presented in this paper.

The micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (micro-PIV) was used to measure flow velocities in micro-channels in two passive micromixers: a microfluidic Venturi mixer and a microfluidic spiral mixer, both preceded by standard "Y" micromixers. The micro-devices were made of borosilicate glass, with micro-engineering techniques dedicated to micro-PIV measurements. The obtained velocity profiles show differences in the flow structure in both cases. The micro-PIV enables understanding the micro-flow phenomena and can help to increase reproducibility of micromixers in mass production.

This study examines the pyrolysis of a single cylindrical wood particle using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The pyrolysis was conducted inside a pyrolysis reactor designed for this purpose. The experimental setup presented in this paper is capable of effectively characterizing the intensity of pyrolysis based on velocity distribution in the vicinity of wood particles. The results of the gas velocity distribution show that evaporation of moisture has as a major impact on the formation of the gas cushion as devolatilization.

The flow structure around rising single air bubbles in water and their characteristics, such as equivalent diameter, rising velocity and shape, was investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Shadowgraphy in a transparent apparatus with a volume of 120 mL. The effect of different volumetric gas flow rates, ranging from 4 μL/min to 2 mL/min on the liquid velocity was studied. Ellipsoidal bubbleswere observedwith a rising velocity of 0.25–0.29m/s. It was found that a Kármán vortex street existed behind the rising bubbles. Furthermore, the wake region expanded with increasing volumetric gas flow rate as well as the number and size of the vortices.

Particle Image Velocimetry is getting more and more often the method of choice not only for visualization of turbulent mass flows in fluid mechanics, but also in linear and non-linear acoustics for non-intrusive visualization of acoustic particle velocity. Particle Image Velocimetry with low sampling rate (about 15Hz) can be applied to visualize the acoustic field using the acquisition synchronized to the excitation signal. Such phase-locked PIV technique is described and used in experiments presented in the paper. The main goal of research was to propose a model of PIV systematic error due to non-zero time interval between acquisitions of two images of the examined sound field seeded with tracer particles, what affects the measurement of complex acoustic signals. Usefulness of the presented model is confirmed experimentally. The correction procedure, based on the proposed model, applied to measurement data increases the accuracy of acoustic particle velocity field visualization and creates new possibilities in observation of sound fields excited with multi-tonal or band-limited noise signals.

Nowadays, the energy cost is very high and this problem is carried out to seek techniques for improvement of the aerothermal and thermal (heat flow) systems performances in different technical applications. The transient and steady-state techniques with liquid crystals for the surface temperature and heat transfer coefficient or Nusselt number distribution measurements have been developed. The flow pattern produced by transverse vortex generators (ribs) and other fluid obstacles (e.g. turbine blades) was visualized using liquid crystals (Liquid Crystal Thermography) in combination with the true-colour image processing as well as planar beam of double-impulse laser tailored by a cylindrical lens and oil particles (particle image velocimetry or laser anemometry). Experiments using both research tools were performed at Gdańsk University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Present work provides selected results obtained during this research.

This study is concerned with liquid flow induced by a disk which rotates steadily around its axis and touches the free surface of liquid contained in a cylindrical vessel. It is a simplified model of the flow in the inlet part of a vertical cooling crystallizer where a rotary distributor of inflowing solution is situated above the free surface of solution contained in the crystalliser. Numerical simulations of flow phenomena were conducted and the simulation results were interpreted assuming an analogy with Kármán's theoretical equations. In a cylindrical coordinate system, the components of flow velocity were identified as functions of distance from the surface of the rotating disk. The experimental setup was developed to measure velocity fields, using digital particle velocimetry and optical flow. Conclusions concerning the influence of disc rotation on liquid velocity fields were presented and the experimental results were found to confirm the results of numerical simulation. On the basis of simulation data, an approximation function was determined to describe the relationship between the circumferential component of flow velocity and the distance from the disk.

You see, I am the owner of a previous-generation Clio RS, so when I heard how the DNA of the new version had been altered, I began to worry. But I came into the test with an open mind; I had driven all of its rivals enough to make an informed decision.
The most fuss was about the free-revving 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine being replaced by a 1.6-litre turbocharged unit. It has the same claimed output figure as its predecessor (147kW), albeit now with 240Nm of torque. The six-speed manual gearbox is gone and in its place is a six-speed twin-clutch automatic. There is also only a five-door option now, whereas the third generation was a three-door. The Brembo brakes have also been done away with.
Why would a manufacturer famed for its pure performance hatches do this? Sales. Some of the best-selling hot hatches on the market are the Volkswagen Golf and Polo GTI models, which are mostly also double-clutch automatics. The other thing is that they are locally also five-door-only models. The Clio has taken this recipe for sales success by downsizing in terms of mechanicals and upsizing in terms of practicality.
The gearbox is not very impressive in normal mode - it holds gears for too long and then drones as it changes, but RS Sport mode remedies this problem. The sport setting means that the traction and stability programmes are still on, but they are progressive and only intervene when it is absolutely necessary.
For those who want the pure driving experience, race mode means no traction control and manual shifts via the steering-mounted paddles. The upshifts are truly very quick, but on downshifts the gearbox hesitates to respond to your inputs, which in a track situation could prove frustrating.
We had the Cup spec, which does what it says on the box: the car is lower and can corner better than its Lux sibling, but does sacrifice in terms of comfort.
The straight-line stuff is where the Clio RS is very impressive. A 0-100km/h time of 6.7 seconds is achievable thanks to a brutal launch-control system. I found the claimed fuel consumption of 6.3 litres/100km difficult to replicate. On a mixed cycle, I could only muster a figure north of 8.0 litres/100km, which is still more efficient than the model it replaces.
Overall I have to say that I liked the new Clio RS quite a bit more than I thought I would. You get the sense that this vehicle was well thought out from a marketing perspective. It has all of the necessary ingredients to appeal to the boy racer market, yet is also something that anyone would be happy to drive as a daily.
The Clio Renault Sport 200 EDC Cup retails for R314 900, which is a fair deal more expensive than its rivals, the Peugeot 208 GTi and Ford Fiesta ST. It does, however, compare to the Polo GTI, especially when all the options are thrown in.
I think that its only real rival is the Polo GTI, as it's the only auto-only model in this class and therefore appeals to a different market. It would still be the Fiesta ST for me as the best hot hatch, but as a daily driver I can't say that I wouldn't prefer the Renault with a newly found maturity.

Cobra Golf have just today launched their brand new product line for 2018, the King F8 range, which takes over from the F7 range that launched this time last year.
The King F8 ranges features two new drivers, the F8 and F8+, along with fairway woods, hybrids and both traditional and one length irons. Throughout the range, it appears Cobra are really pushing the boat out in terms of new technologies and innovation. They are perhaps to be seen as the first rendition of "smart" golf clubs... More on that later.
Starting with the driver, the F8 is the first driver released with a MILLED FACE. Usually only seen on wedges, irons and putters, Cobra claim their CNC Milled driver face allows them to produce a much more consistent face, finely tuned for optimised distance on both centre and off-centre strikes. Precisely milling the face also allows the face itself to be thinner, creating an exaggerated trampoline effect, as other drivers from TaylorMade and Callaway also offer.
They are stating this ground-breaking driver technology has "improved bulge-and-roll" to make the face 3% thinner and 10% lighter, again for higher ball speeds and accuracy.
Not only is the face improved, Cobra are introducing "360º Aero Technology". Basically, this means strategically placed polymer strips all around the driver to improve air flow and aerodynamics, allowing the driver head to swing faster with reduced drag. This is less groundbreaking for us - Callaway did a very similar thing working with Boeing on their airflow first seen on the XR16 Driver.
In terms of adjustability, we have the same MyFly loft sleeve, and weight ports similar to the F7, allowing to add either draw bias or extra launch.
Looks wise, the titanium and carbon fibre composite crown bares strong resemblance to M1 and M2, however the Nardo Grey rather than white with the black crown certainly offers a stealth bomber type aesthetic. We are glad to see they have finally ditched the orange from this product line!
The F8+ driver has a slightly smaller head size and shallower profile, aimed at the better player with faster swing speeds, looking for a more optimised ball flight rather than just a high and please don't slice type flight. Its weight ports are also in front and back rather than heel and back, allowing the better player to choose a lower launching option. This + model is what we can expect to see the Cobra Tour players such as Rickie Fowler using from now on.
In terms of fairways and hybrids, Cobra are sticking with the 360º Aerodynamics improvements, and have also decided to keep their very popular "baffler" style railings on the bottom of the clubs, which really do help turf interaction and vary in depth from club to club, optimising your contact. The + model fairway also has the weight moved forward rather than at the back, which again gives the better players that more penetrating flight.
The new irons released alongside the metalwoods range are a mid-range, game improvement set, also stuffed with new tech features. F8 Irons have the all-new "E9 PwrShell Face", a 20% thinner than previous models and forged face. This should offer playability and high quality feel, coupled with the forgiveness and distance of chunkier, game improvement irons. Cobra have followed the route of TaylorMade and PXG with this club: TECFLO Progressive Set Construction means the 4-7 irons are hollow bodied, (although sadly not foam injected), then the shorter, scoring clubs are cavity backs, with 2 speciality bladed wedges also available.
Now for the really cool part. I mentioned that these clubs are perhaps the first "smart"clubs. That is because every club in this range comes fitted as standard with the Arccos 360 Sensor and Cobra CONNECT Technology. This awesome tech sits in the butt of the grip of each club, and is linked with an app on your phone to track every shot you hit. This was previously available in the driver, but now in every club you can see how far you are hitting your shots, as well as tracking in extreme detail how you worked your way around the course. Using Arccos can improve your game, and how you think about your rounds, amazingly well, although I will personally be using it mainly to prove I can outdrive my mates, and also to remind me how many provisionals I have had to hit...
When you purchase the set of irons, Cobra are kind enough to send you spare Arcoss units to go in the rest of your clubs, regardless of whether they are Cobra F8 or not, allowing a "fully connected experience".
Time will tell whether this technology will catch on and become industry standard, but Cobra have definitely made a bold step towards the technological future of modern golf.

Howard Behar, former President, Starbucks International
August 22, 2012
I had a chance to hear Howard Behar speak while I was shooting at a national franchise's conference. As a man who entered into the company when it started small, Howard was able to give great insight into the inner workings and changes within Starbucks as it went from local coffee chain to internationally recognized brand and status symbol. Even now, when Psy sings about Gangnam Style he references the Korean social trend of skimping on real food so that one can be seen wielding a Starbucks cup instead.
Howard's the author of It's Not About the Coffee where he talks about having a value driven business, which, I think, is one of the keys to Starbucks' success. Well, high profit margin drinks don't hurt either. They've made it less about the coffee and more about people and a lifestyle. He was a great speaker, and, to me, the highlight of the conference where I learned a lot, even though I was just a spectator.
It was a great group of people, all doing their best to provide excellent service to their region's seniors and to get their own small business off the ground. In an age where I've seen ads for lanyards that summon EMT units with the push of a button, or live webcams that only show a few feet of the ground so that you can tell when your parent has fallen, I think in-home care would be a much preferred option.
Location: Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C.

This is one way to stop Holiday package thefts!
Package theft is a huge problem this time of year, but one Washington state man has come up with a way to get back at thieves -- with a bang. Jaireme Barrow would review his surveillance footage and repeatedly see thieves swiping packages off his front porch while he wasn't home. He kept calling the police, but nothing was ever done to find the porch pirates, so he came up with his own explosive idea. Barrow created the Blank Box. It's an empty box loaded with 12-gauge shotgun blanks that are fired when the package is lifted.

First of all, why did they have missions and why were they important?
As we have said in an earlier Q&A, the missions were built by the Spanish starting in 1769 in order to "colonize" the territory of Alta California. So the missions were important because they were the means of settling California. Without the missions, California - which was a real wilderness in 1769 - would have been settled much more slowly and possibly with a lot more conflict. The missions are also important because they are some of the oldest buildings left in the state and they help us get in touch with the early history of California.
What life was like for the missionaries?
The missionaries typically entered the Franciscan order at a very young age (usually about 16). They then studied to become priests. They only became missionaries if they volunteered. If they were accepted for missionary service they had to leave their homeland (almost all of them came from Spain) with a good chance they would never see their parents or their country again. In actual fact 58 of the 142 missionaires died in California and never did return home.
Their daily life was very busy and combined religious activities (saying mass, baptizing the natives etc.) and running a large community – building the mission (which often included more than 20 buildings), making sure that there was enough for everyone to eat (the missions had large farms and ranches) and overseeing all the goods the missions needed (each mission had blacksmiths and candle makers; they made their own shoes and clothing etc.).
There was a wonderful priest named Fr. Felipe Arroyo de la Cuesta. I wrote a whole chapter about him in my book Soldiers, Scoundrels, Poets & Priests. Fr. Cuesta was age 27 when he arrived in California by ship in 1808. He died the age of 60 in 1840, afflicted with rheumatism, hardly able to walk. Even though he had fulfilled his service in 1818 he stayed at his post all those years because there was no one to replace him. I found a copy of a letter he wrote to a friend which will give you a good idea of the "temporal" duties of the missionaries, which many of them found an almost intolerable burden. He writes:
There are difficulties all around and I am overburdened with cares which render life wearisome. There is hardly anything of the religious in me, and I scarcely know what to do in these troubling times. I made the vows of a Friar Minor; instead, I must manage the Indians, sow grain, raise sheep, horses and cows. I must preach, baptize, bury the dead, visit the sick, direct the carts, haul stones, lime etc. These are things incompatible, thorny, bitter, hard and unbearable. They rob me of time, tranquility and my health. I desire with lively anxiety to devote myself to my sacred ministry and to serve the Lord. Fr. Felipe Arroya de la Cuesta in a letter to a friend, written in 1826
Joseph wrote to thanks us. "That memo was very helpful for my project. Fr. Felipe Arroyo de la Cuesta does sound like a wonderful guy."

Add new Facebook Lead Ads leads to Salesforce
Facebook Lead Ads + Salesforce
When you start creating a Salesforce Zap, you will be asked to connect your Salesforce account.
Next you will be asked to allow Zapier to have access to your Salesforce account.
You'll now be asked to log into your Salesforce account (unless you are already logged in).
If all steps were successful your Salesforce account will now be successfully connected.

Salesforce is very well supported on Zapier. You can Trigger off the creation of any object inside of Salesforce, including Custom Objects which might have been installed by another 3rd party application. Likewise, you can create any object inside of Salesforce as an Action.
If the object type you want to Trigger off of, or create, isn't visible inside the dropdown menu, choose the "Custom Object".
Later on inside the Zap editor, you'll be given the chance to decide which Custom Object you want to Trigger off of, or create.
Note: You can generally choose any object from the list for triggering. However, on the Action side, certain objects may not allow creation. If after choosing a Custom Object type, you can see no fields (and just see a "Continue" button) this implies there are no fields to create and you'll need to either choose a different Custom Object or an administrator will need to modify the object definition inside Salesforce, first. Here is an example of a Custom Object that does not allow creation (it has no fields):
This is a somewhat common class of errors for Salesforce, which might manifest itself when working inside the Zap Editor or when receiving automated alert emails. Timeout errors indicate that Zapier's request to Salesforce took too long to get an answer.
Timeout errors can be caused by any number of things:
Most of the time these errors are transient and you simply need to wait a while. If the error happened for an On Zap on the Trigger side (ie. Salesforce as a Trigger), you can safely ignore it (we will automatically recover this scenario). If the error happened for an On Zap on the Action side, you can attempt to replay failed Tasks within our Task History interface.
Right now, Salesforce can trigger up to 200 items at one time. If you attempt to add more than 200 items at once, Zapier will only be able to see the last 200.
Sometimes when you add custom fields or objects in Salesforce, they won't show up right away in the portion of your zap where you map trigger data to the action template. An easy way to fix this on the trigger side is to submit a new entry with those custom fields filled in.
If you are dealing with actions, here's a couple steps that may help:
We don't yet support the standard Middle Name and Suffix fields that Salesforce released in 2015. A workaround is to create custom fields for the Middle Name and the Suffix. We plan to upgrade this in the future so the standard fields are available.
We do not support Salesforce communities at this point in time.
That error means that the number of times Zapier is allowed to ask Salesforce for data has been exceeded for your connected account.
There are 2 ways Salesforce limits requests to their API (how Zapier asks for data): 1. Requests within a 20-second period (called "concurrent" requests) 2. Total API requests within a 24-hour period
That info can be found in their documentation here.
Upgrading to a Salesforce plan with more users and higher request limits will stop this error from occurring.
When you use the Create Task action, you can connect a task to a person or an object using these two fields:
If you're getting a Field Integrity Exception error, it means that you're trying to connect a person using the Related To field or an object using the Name field. If you want to connect the task to a person (like a contact or lead), use the Name field. If you want to connect the task to an object (such as an opportunity or an account), use the Related To field.
Pick the correct field and select "Use A Custom Value," then pass the ID of the person/object from a previous step.
You may have an "Duplicate Rule" in place which is preventing us from creating the record, because it believes a duplicate already exists (when it might not.)
Here is an example of a "Duplicate Rule" for Account objects.
If the Actions are set to
Alert, the rule will block these "fuzzy duplicates" from getting created (and throw the error above).
Unchecking the
Alert box will allow the "duplicate" to be created.
Salesforce's help docs cover duplicate rules for other objects.
Salesforce search actions will return the most recently created record that meets the search criteria, even if there are multiple records that match.
The Create Note action adds notes to the legacy 'Notes & Attachments' (also called "Classic Mode") function in Salesforce. The notes are not viewable in the new HTML version of Salesforce.
When using the Create Event action, if you just want to specify a Due Date, use the
Due Date Only field. If you want to specify both a Due Date and Time, use the
Due Date Time field, but fill in both a date and a time. If you only put a time in this field, you'll end up with an event on today's date at that time.
Zaps set up like this will ignore the Date field:
Zaps set up like this will properly set the Date and Time field in Salesforce:
Salesforce requires that multi-pick items have a
; between them. You can set it up like this:
Or if you're passing data from a previous step, you can use the Formatter to build a string with
; as the separator.
While there is only a Trigger for updated opportunities, you can get more targeted results by using the New Outbound Message Trigger. This uses Salesforce workflow rules, which allows you to set the filtering criteria on the Salesforce side of things.
Please note for this handy workaround, your Salesforce account must support workflow rules.
To do this, please follow these steps:
Firstly, create a Zap using the New Outbound Message Trigger. This trigger will create a webhook you can use on whatever workflow/trigger you want in Salesforce later.
Next, in your Salesforce setup area, you will need to create a new Workflow Rule. This rule will allow you to set the conditions that will trigger the outbound message to be sent out. This is what will trigger your Zap. In the example below, this workflow will trigger when a lead is updated:You can read more on creating workflows on Salesforce here.
Once you have saved that workflow, on the new screen that appears under "Immediate Workflow Actions" use the "Add Workflow Action" dropdown, choose "New Outbound Message" like this:
Here you can choose the object and the fields from that object that you want to send to your Zap. You will also need to enter the Webhook URL from your Zap's Trigger options in the "Endpoint URL" field like this:
You can read more creating new outbound messages on Salesforce here.
When you have done that you can come back and finish setting up your Zap. This workflow will send an Outbound Message when your workflow triggers, which will trigger your Zap!

4 things to remember when choosing worship music
While everyone has their favorite music, the bride of Christ represents a diversity of age, perspective, and preference.
This traditional wedding adage for the bride is good advice for serving the bride of Christ musically each Sunday. While everyone has their favorite music, the bride of Christ represents a diversity of age, perspective, and preference. Every service has the potential of serving everyone while inevitably frustrating someone. If done well, each service will likely accomplish both.
1. Something old
The bride wears an heirloom from the past to represent continuity with her heritage. This is done to show that she has a past with which she wants to remain connected. Musical choices in worship should reflect the rich heritage of the church's musical worship past. Singing songs from the past demonstrates dependence upon the doctrine and practice of previous generations of worshipers.
2. Something new
The bride wears something new to show hope for the future. This demonstrates the newness of the marriage and anticipation for what is to come. Musical choices in worship should reflect this evidence of what is happening now in the church. Singing a "new song" demonstrates the relevance of Christ and his gospel to today's generation of worshipers and hope for the future of the gospel's work.
3. Something borrowed
The bride wears something borrowed typically from a happily married couple. This demonstrates the desire to honor the other couple by affirming the health of their marriage and seeking and hoping for a similar result in the new marriage. Music in worship should reflect this recognition of other groups who exemplify healthy, Christ-honoring music. Learning from others who worship well is a way the universal church can be edified by the example and practice of local churches.
4. Something blue
The bride wears something blue because the color "blue" represents love, purity, and fidelity. The implications here for both the bride and the church should be obvious. Whatever we sing should exemplify love for Christ, purity according to his word, and fidelity of the bride to Christ alone. Whether old, new, or borrowed, the ultimate test is the "blue" test. We cannot sing old songs just because they are "old." Nor can we sing new songs just because they are "new." And borrowing something that does not pass the "blue" test reveals a desire to emulate the wrong models. Whatever else they are, all of our songs should be blue.
This Sunday sing something old, new, borrowed, and blue. Someone will inevitably not be satisfied because it was not all "old" or all "new," but if it is blue everyone will be served well and the bride of Christ will be encouraged to live like the true and faithful bride of Christ.

For many years, Oregon has led the nation in softwood lumber production. Softwood lumber is made with wood from conifer tree species such as Douglas-fir.
Oregon's softwood lumber output of 5.2 billion board feet in 2015 accounted for about 17 percent of total U.S. production. That's an increase of 36 percent from the recessionary low in 2009. However, Oregon sawmill output in 2015 was about 70 percent of the pre-recessionary high in the early 2000s.
Softwood products are typically used for construction and include dimension lumber, beams, wood paneling, flooring, decking, molding and millwork, and door and window frames.

WHO: Sierra Leone Ebola Spread Slowing
APA—Sierra Leone, the country worst affected by Ebola, has 250 new confirmed cases in the past week; but the spread of the deadly virus in the country is slowing down, according to the World Health Organization.
The UN special agency for health, WHO, confirmed here, on Thursday, that the epidemic had claimed 8,235 lives out of 20,747 known cases worldwide over the past year.
Over all, 838 health workers have been infected, killing 495 of them, says WHO; citing the figures by authorities in nine countries with Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone accounting for the majority of infections and fatalities.
There are signs that case incidence may have leveled off in Sierra Leone; although with 248 new confirmed cases reported in the week to 4 January 2015, it remains by far the worst affected country at present the WHO said.
However, WHO warned the virus is spreading most rapidly in Western Sierra Leone; where the capital Freetown reported 93 of the new confirmed cases.
An increasing emphasis will be put on the rapid deployment of smaller treatment facilities to ensure that capacity is matched with demand in the area;� WHO suggested.

"THE THREE MUSKETEERS" (1993) Review
Alexandre Dumas' classic 1844 novel, "The Three Musketeers" must have been one of the most adapted stories in film and television history. I do not know exactly how many adaptations have been filmed. But I have seen at least four of them - including Disney Studios' version, released in 1993.
Directed by Stephen Herek, "THE THREE MUSKETEERS" is not a faithful adaptation of Dumas' novel. David Loughery's script utilized some elements of the novel, including most of the characters and d'Artagnan's first meeting with his three friends and fellow musketeers. But in the end, he created his own story. In "THE THREE MUSKETEERS", a young Gascon named d'Artagnan hopes to follow in the footsteps of his late father and join the King of France's Musketeers in 1625 France. Unfortunately for d'Artagnan, several factors stand in his way. One, he makes an enemy out of a local aristocrat named Gerard and his brothers, who believe he has defiled the honor of their sister, and is pursued by them all the way to Paris. Two, upon his arrival in Paris, he discovers that the Musketeers have been disbanded by King Louis XIII's chief minister, the power-hungry Cardinal Richelieu. And three, his encounters with Musketeers Athos, Aramis and Porthos results in him accepting a duel from each man.
Fortunately, d'Artagnan's hostility toward the trio is short-lived and he ends up helping them battle Richelieu's guards, who arrive to arrest Athos, Aramis and Porthos. But after they leave him, d'Artagnan is arrested by more guards and Richelieu's lackey, Captain Rochefort. While in prison, he meets the Cardinal and overhears a conversation between the latter and spy Milady de Winter. She is ordered to deliver a signed treaty to France's primary enemy, the Duke of Buckingham of England. Cardinal Richelieu plans to undermine the King's authority, before assassinating him, taking the throne and Queen Anne as consort. When Athos, Aramis and Porthos rescue d'Artagnan from execution, the four men set out to expose Richelieu as a traitor of France and save King Louis XIII from death.
Fans of Dumas' novel will probably be unhappy with this adaptation, considering that it failed to be a faithful one. I must admit that when I first saw "THE THREE MUSKETEERS", I was surprised and a little disappointed myself. And there were a few aspects of the movie that I disliked. The addition of Gerard and his brothers into the story really annoyed me in the end. Mind you, I found the aristocrat's determination to confront d'Artagnan at the beginning of the movie tolerable. But once d'Artagnan reached Paris, with Gerard still in hot pursuit, the subplot became an annoying running joke that refused to die. And it did not. I like Paul McGann as an actor . . . but not that much.
Even worse, McGann's Gerard seemed to have more screen time than any of the major female characters. Although I never viewed Queen Anne as a "major character", I felt otherwise about Milady de Winter and d'Artagnan's lady love, Constance Bonacieux. I did not mind when Loughery's script transformed Julie Delpy's Constance from the Queen's dressmaker to maid/companion. But I did mind that her role was reduced to a few cameo appearances. The same almost happened to Rebecca De Mornay's portrayal of Milady de Winter. I personally found the reduction of the latter role rather criminal. Milady has always been one of the best villains in literary history. And nearly every actress who has portrayed her, did justice to the role. I can say the same about De Mornay, who was excellent as Milady. Unfortunately, Loughery's script gave her very few opportunities to strut her stuff.
Despite the change in Dumas' story and the reduction in the females' roles, I cannot deny that "THE THREE MUSKETEERS" proved to be a first-rate and entertaining movie. It had romance - well, a little of it. The best romance in the film proved to be the long simmering one between Athos and Milady, whose marriage had earlier ended in failure. And I found the one between d'Artagnan and Constance rather charming, if brief. The movie featured some great action, including a marvelous chase scene in which the Musketeers are being pursued by Rochefort and the Cardinal's men; d'Artagnan's first sword fight, in which he allied himself with the Musketeers; Milady de Winter's capture at Calais; and especially the final fight sequence in which the Musketeers prevent Richelieu's plans for the King's assassination.
Tim Curry made an entertaining, yet splashy Cardinal Richelieu. He came close to being all over the map, yet he still managed to keep his performance controlled. And Michael Wincott's sinister portrayal of Captain Rochefort was superb. Rebecca De Mornay was superb as Milady de Winter, despite the role being reduced. And her Milady has always struck me as the most complex in all of the adaptations. Julie Delpy and Gabrielle Anwar were charming as Constance and Queen Anne. I wish I could say the same about Hugh O'Connor as King Louis XIII, but I must admit that I was not that impressed. He was eighteen years old at the time and probably a little too young and stiff to be portraying the 24 year-old monarch.
But the highlight of "THE THREE MUSKETEERS" proved to be the four actors who portrayed d'Artagnan and his three friends - Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. They were perfect. Chris O'Donnell captured every aspect of d'Artagnan's youthful personality - the earnestness, cockiness, and immaturity. Watching the movie made me realize that he has come a long way in the past nineteen years. And he had great chemistry with the three actors who portrayed the Musketeers. Kiefer Sutherland was perfect as the commanding, yet cynical and disillusioned Athos, who regretted ending his marriage to Milady. The producers of this film certainly picked the right man to portray the smooth-talking ladies' man, Aramis. And whatever one might say about Charlie Sheen, he did a superb job in the role. Oliver Platt was a delight as the brash and extroverted Porthos. Quite frankly, he made a better figure for comic relief than McGann's Gerard. However, the best thing about the four actors' performances was that they all perfectly clicked as a screen team. All for one and one for all.
Yes, "THE THREE MUSKETEERS" was not perfect. What movie is? And it is certainly not the best adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' novel. But I cannot deny that it was entertaining. And I have no regrets in purchasing a DVD copy of this film. If one can keep an open mind over the fact that it was not a close adaptation of the 1844 novel, I think it is possible to find it very enjoyable.

Strong bones are essential in maintaining the body posture and balance. An upright skeletal structure allows us to move, stand, and walk better, making us feel and appear energetic and young.
While most people regard bone weakening as an inevitable age-related condition, there are a number of other contributing factors as well. Some of the most common causes of gradual bone loss include:
- Poor dietary habits
- Lack of physical exercise
- Certain medications
- Excessive smoking
- A family history of bone disease[1]
Research has shown that bone weakness and osteoporosis can be prevented with a healthy combination of a nutritious diet and adequate and appropriate physical activity.[2][3]
It is in this context that yoga has emerged as an excellent and suitable technique for people of all ages to get their daily dose of exercise, which is an important prerequisite for strengthening their bones as well as improving overall health.
To that end, a 2015 study published in Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation demonstrated doing a 12-minute daily yoga practice reverses osteoporotic bone loss.[4]
Researchers conducted a 10-year study measuring the bone mineral density (BMD) of its participants. Results showed improvement in spine, femur, and hip BMD in the participants and complete reversal of bone weakening in some. Thus, the study upheld yoga as a safe and effective way to build BMD with no related serious injuries.[4]
Another 2009 study published in Geriatric Rehabilitation found yoga to be an effective way to build bone mineral density after menopause.[5]
In the same vein, a 2016 study published in the International Journal of Yoga reported that "integrated yoga'' is a safe mode of physical activity, which includes weight-bearing as well as non-weight-bearing asanas, Pranayama, and Surya Namaskar, all of which help induce improvement in bone mineral density in postmenopausal osteoporotic females.[6]
To keep your bones strong and prevent bone-related problems in the future, incorporate yoga into your daily life.
Strengthen Your Bones with these Yoga Poses
Here are some great yoga poses for stronger bones.
1. Tree Pose (Vrksasana)
As this pose stimulates the spine, hip bones, pelvic bones, and shoulder bones, Vrksasana can be a great relief for those with sciatica. It also promotes better balance by strengthening the bones and arches of the feet. With better balance comes a sense of grounding that helps reduce stress and anxiety.
- Stand upright with your arms at your sides and feet together. Shift the weight into the right leg, making the left leg light.
- Balance yourself by finding a focal point (drishti) 4 to 5 feet away from you. Bending your left knee, hold your left ankle with both hands and raise your foot, placing the sole of your foot firm and flat against the inner right thigh with your toes pointing to the ground. (Make sure the foot is not pressing on the knee joint.)
- Continue to maintain the steady gaze and breathe, slowly putting your hands together in salutation seal near your heart or raising your arms overhead.
- Maintain this position for 10–20 breaths.
- Exhale, slowly return your hands to your sides, and then lower your left leg to the starting position. Repeat with your right leg.
2. Chair Pose (Utkatasana)
This pose strengthens the bones of the lower body, specifically the quadriceps, hip flexors, ankles, and calves. The Chair Pose is great in reducing the symptoms of flat feet. Simultaneously, it stretches the chest and shoulders.
- Stand in an upright position with your arms at your sides and feet together.
- Bend your knees, press your heels into the floor, and bring your thighs parallel to the floor (as if sitting on a chair). Check that you can see your toes past your knees.
- Engage the navel towards the spine so the tailbone drops down towards the floor. You can raise your arms up perpendicular to the floor or keep the hands in salutation seal.
- Maintain this pose for 10–30 breaths.
- Inhale, straighten your legs, and bring your palms back to your sides while exhaling gently. Repeat this pose 10 to 15 times, once daily.
Beginners' Tips:
- Perform this exercise near a wall so that when you bend, the tailbone touches the wall for support.
- Place a yoga block between the upper thighs to encourage the tailbone to drop down towards the floor while protecting the lower back.
3. Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)
A part of Sun Salutation, this pose increases your bone strength, enabling better lower-back support and an upright posture.
It also helps those with spine and back pain as it strengthens the back muscles. Because it exerts weight on the hands, arms, and pelvis, the Cobra Pose works to strengthen the bones of these areas and relieve wrist and finger arthritis. Furthermore, this pose works like a charm to give you an instant surge of energy!
- Lie flat on your stomach with your legs stretched out, and place your hands underneath your shoulders with your palms down and elbows folded upward.
- Press the tops of the feet and pelvic bones into the group.
- Inhaling deeply, slowly raise your upper body (head, chest, and abdomen) with the support of your arms, rolling the shoulders down the back away from the ears.
- Hold this pose for 5–10 breathes, lengthening your tailbone and chest leading forward.
- Lower your torso back to the ground and put your hands beside you.
- Rest for a minute and windshield wiper your legs to release the lower back.
4. Downward-Facing Dog Pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
This pose stretches and strengthens the entire body. Your hamstrings, calves, and Achilles tendon get a great flexing as the upper body builds strength.
By building the muscle strength and density of the upper body, this exercise promotes upper-body bone tissue renewal. This maintains the strength of the bones, preventing diseases like arthritis and osteoporosis.
The Downward-Facing Dog Pose provides the same benefits as an inversion without having to go into a full-blown headstand. It allows the blood to flow to the brain! This pose is a great way to start the day.
- Start in a tabletop position, wrists under shoulders, knees under hips, and toes curled under.
- With your toes curled under, begin spreading your fingers and push yourself up and back into an upside-down V shape. The pose requires that the hands are pushing the floor away while the heels are relaxing toward the floor.
- Maintain this position for 5–20 breaths. Allow the head to relax.
- To release, exhale and bring your knees to the floor.
5. Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana)
By stretching your muscles and limbs, this pose strengthens the chest, thighs, and hip flexors along with your back muscles. By offering a quick and holistic workout to build your core strength, this pose is custom-made for people who spend the majority of their time stuck to a chair.
Furthermore, as this yoga pose is great for building bone endurance, it may prove effective in reversing primary osteoporosis in the long run.
- Lie flat on your back and walk your feet as close to your glutes, put your arms at your sides with your palms down.
- Inhale, exert pressure on your feet, and gently lift your lower back, middle back, and upper back.
- Allow the tailbone to come upward toward the pubic bone, and engage the glute muscles while hugging the inner thighs in towards one another.
- Roll your arms under your lifted back, clasping your hands together.
- Pushing your hands on the floor, try to lift yourself further up, bringing your shoulder blades closer together.
- Maintain this position for 5–15 breaths.
- Unclasp your hands, roll them out, and gently bring your upper body back to the ground as you exhale.
6. Extended Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana)
This is an excellent pose to relieve osteoporosis and leg cramps. It exerts pressure on the calves, thighs, ankles, knees, and arms and strengthens the bones in these areas.
It also provides flexibility to flat feet, which, due to inactivity, may have become painfully rigid. In fact, if practiced regularly, this exercise can also stretch out the ankles and feet to create an arch.
- Stand upright, place your hands on your hips, and place your feet 4 feet apart from each other.
- Point your right foot outward 90°, and turn your left foot inward so that your heels align with each other.
- Firm your thighs, and with your hands still on your hip bones, exhale and slowly bend your torso to the right so that your right hip bone is above your right thigh bone.
- Reach down to your right shin or ankle with your right hand, straighten your tailbone, and breathe deeply. You can use a yoga block for your right hand as well.
- Slowly lift your left arm toward the ceiling and stretch your collarbones.
- Maintain this position for 5–20 breaths.
- To release, exhale and press firmly through your left heel as you lift your torso and slowly lower your arms.
- Repeat on the opposite side.
7. Locust Pose (Salabhasana)
When done on a regular basis, the Locust Pose can improve your spine flexibility and strengthen your thigh bones. This pose stimulates the back and strengthens the bones in the back, arms, and legs by exerting weight in these areas.
- Lie flat on your stomach, your arms by your sides with palms facing toward each other and your feet apart with the toes pressing downward.
- Keeping your lower body firm, inhale and lightly lift your shoulders, and then lift your head keeping your neck long (do not arch the neck back).
- As you exhale, lift your chest and arms, keeping them parallel to the ground, and bring your shoulder blades slightly closer together.
- Exert a little pressure towards your heels and lift the legs slightly. This will exert pressure and tilt the pelvis while drawing the navel in.
- Maintain this position for 3–15 breaths, while keeping your breathing smooth and steady.
- As you exhale, slowly release your upper body to the ground and your arms back down in the resting position.
- You can windshield wiper your legs side to side to release the lower back.
- Rest for a minute and repeat 2 more times.

Mall cops are all the rage this year. Including this weekend's Observe & Report, there's already been two movies dedicated to their prestigious field this year. Seems a bit ridiculous, doesn't it? Yet both movies are winning the interest of movie patrons, even if they aren't getting the highest critical acclaim.
Neither Paul Blart or Observe & Report are the best mall cop movies out there. Even though they weren't the central focus of their respective films, this week's Double Feature takes a look at some really kickass mall cops, a duo that would make Paul Blart and Ronnie Bernhardt weep in their presence. Don't mess with these guys. In fact, you might just be better off avoiding their malls completely.
You know the catchphrase: "They're not there to shop. They're not there to work. They're just there." And poor La Fours has to deal with all of them. Think about the movie from his point of view: having to deal with the added attention of a game show being filmed at the mall, two drug-peddling slackers trying to crash said show, creating antics that lead to women's dressing rooms continually being invaded, sex in elevators, and the annoying Brodie Bruce at the center of it all. Sure, he's a behemoth of a man, but he deserves better than all of this. In fact, you almost owe it to La Fours to watch the extended anniversary cut of the movie ("The Version That Never Should Have Been"), as the character gets a bit more screentime and a bit more happiness for the overzealous mall cop.
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
If you think about all of the crap La Fours has to put up with, then you can sort of understand the way the mall cops respond to the situation in Zack Snyder's remake of George Romero's classic zombie pictures. The central hideout from the zombies is their mall, so in their mind that puts them in charge. The attitude that follows is retribution for every "rental cop" quip, annoying teenager, and annoyance they've ever had to put up with over the course of their career. Only in the movies, however, would the mall cops manage to get a real cop to hand over his weapon and defer to their judgment. In the real world? Ving Rhames would have been calling the shots over the three rednecks faster than Snyder's zombies run (and that's darn fast!). For this Double Feature, though, root for CJ and his buddies. They deserve the credit, for 2009 is the year of the mall cop.
Enjoy our Double Feature suggestions? and maybe we'll use them in a future column.

Most of the time when I mention a Mission Statement to the warriors that I work with, I get reactions that range from a single raised eyebrow to out loud laughter. I won't lie, I had the same reaction when it was first mentioned to me. The first thing I pictured was a small group of people sitting around a conference table in suits and ties. Of course, images of the TV show "The Office" kept creeping in. I think the reason that these images take over any discussion of Mission Statements is that we generally associate them with a business model. So how in the world can this possibly apply to us warriors?
During a particularly low point in my life I was introduced to the Personal Mission Statement by someone who has become very dear to me. Of course my reaction was just like yours. I pictured a touchy feely, hand holding session where I would be expected to bare my soul and maybe even cry a little.
Everything about me and my personality fought this image, but at the time I decided to take a closer look at the idea. As I began to research Mission Statements I realized that I had built possibly hundreds of them over the years and never realized it.
In every Military Operations Order and in every Emergency Response Operation Order, I had written a Mission Statement. This realization helped me to "toughen up" the idea and relate it to something I already knew.
While this may seem like a daunting task, break it down into four simple questions.
Who Am I?
What is it that I want to do?
How am I going to do it?
What is the purpose of it?
"Any County Emergency Response Team (ACERT) conducts a dynamic entry (no knock) warrant service at 123 AnyStreet, using standard approved procedures, at 0130 on the 12th of Mar 2009, in order to clear and secure the residence for follow on investigation by the Anytown Police Department."
Many of you have seen something very similar to this and never pictured lying down on the couch of a doctor or sitting in a circle holding hands while reading the "mission statement." So what is the difference between this and a "personal mission statement?"
A Personal Mission Statement is a statement of who we are, what we want to accomplish, how we are going to accomplish it and the purpose of it. That sounds a lot more realistic for us. So where do we begin?
First and most importantly, define who you are. Examples:
"I am a Police Officer, the Sheepdog, the defender and protector of my community….."
"I am Lt. Whomever, a committed leader, an Alpha Dog, the example to my peers, my subordinates and my seniors….."
Second, define what it is that you are going to do. Be specific. This is your goal. For example:
"I will do everything in my power to protect the lives and safety of my fellow citizens against any harm….."
"I will live my life in dedication to my officers; I will never cease giving my subordinates the guidance, protection, consistency….."
Third, explain how you are going to achieve these goals. Again, be as specific as you can. These are the steps that you are going to take to accomplish your goals. For example,
"…by being the best I can be, by identifying my weaknesses and improving, by never giving up…"
"…by dedicating myself to self improvement as a leader, by living the traits of true leadership and by continually…"
And finally, ask yourself "why" and write it down. It's really as simple as that. I found that an easy way to find the "why" was to preface it with "in order to…" What is the reason or reasons for your mission?
"…in order to provide a safe environment for my children to grow and prosper and a community that is free from the evils that would destroy…"
"…in order to develop my officers into a highly motivated, professional team that is able to face….."
Creating this personal mission statement will do two things for us as warriors. While working to create the statement, we are forced to really stop and think about who we really are and what we want to do. Putting it into words gives us the opportunity to evaluate the facts and assumptions that we have made about our calling.
Second, when we have written this down and kept it in a safe place with easy access, we have given ourselves the ability to go back and refocus when we need it most.
This does not have to be posted in your office or displayed for the public. Feel free to keep it to yourself if you choose. I suggest using it as your desktop background, or keeping it where you can see it and it will act as a constant reminder of your calling.
Based on your particular situation, there is nothing wrong with placing it where others can see it. Knowing that others have seen and understand your goals is a great method of accountability for you to meet those goals.
Your mission statement can be a paragraph or a page, but be clear and concise. Don't try to use jargon or fancy "buzzwords", just focus on the meaning behind the words and make it achievable.
Live your mission statement out every day. This principle can be applied to your professional career, your relationships, your marriage, and your family life; and can provide a purpose and direction.
In order to truly know ourselves, we must look past what others see, and take a hard, honest look at who we are when no one sees. Your Personal Mission Statement is just that, the statement of your purpose and a very personal look at yourself.

This pack contains 1x Aerial Yoga Hammock 10m (choose colour above) with two stainless steel rings attached, 2x steel carabiners and 1x SML Dyneema loop chain OR 1x Belay Daisy Chain for adjusting the height of the rig (see below).
All components of this set are professionally strength tested and come with Working Load (WLL) and Breaking Load Limits (BLL). Watch out for equipment that does not state WLL or BLL as they may not be safe.
These hammocks are specially designed for aerial yoga. They are shorter and wider than normal aerial silks, measuring 6m x 2.8m. Yoga hammocks are used to support your body weight allowing you to achieve deep stretches and other yoga postures in a more relaxing way with a reduced chance of injury. Aerial yoga hammocks also help to develop core strength and to decompress the spine.
This set up rigs from a single point, as opposed to the two point version. The single attachment point means this setup is sometimes known as an aerial sling or cocoon. The most obvious advantage of the one point hammock is that it is cheaper and easier to rig (it requires just one anchor). Some people prefer this type of hammock for aerial yoga because they like the extra "snugness". It can also give you more versatility with the angle for body moves. However, which set up you prefer come down to personal preference to a great extent.
For hammock performance, this setup can be made to rotate easily by adding a swivel.
As we specialise in aerial silks and other aerial circus apparatus that is often over 10m high, all our hammocks exceed all required safety standards. Only the best and most comfortable materials are used and the hammocks are fully tested every 6 months for strengths and weaknesses. These hammocks have a working load limit of 172kg (379lbs).
The SML Dyneema loop chains are 400mm long and made from strong 15mm nylon. The SML chains allow you to adjust the height of your hammock, but not by very much. If you would like more versatility in your hammock's height we recommend choosing the Belay Daisy Chain. These chains are 1.4m long and have eight individual loops. Unlike other daisy chains the Belay Daisy Chain's loops are all rated at 23kN so you're safe rigging from any of the loops, not just the end ones. The one downside is these chains are more expensive than the SMLs.
The auto locking carabiners are strong and versatile. They have a secure gate locking mechanism and good wide opening of 18mm.

Did you know that you could keep approximately 19 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions out of the atmosphere for each gallon of gas you don't use? By itself that may not seem like a big number, but for those who commute 5 days a week, 20 days a month and around 260 days a year, that is a lot of carbon emissions.
Telecommuting has become increasingly popular at organizations around the world. Many are developing formal programs and seeing the benefits of increased employee productivity, improved morale and business continuity. The Association of Commuter Transportation (ACT) reports that 83 percent of the Fortune 100 companies allow employees to telework, including companies such as Google, Microsoft, Genentech and Starbucks.
That's not all, in fact several states, including Georgia and Virginia, allow qualified employers to receive tax credits for related telecommuting expenses. In 2010, President Obama even signed into law the "Telework Enhancement Act of 2010" that required federal agencies to implement policies to promote telecommuting.
Telecommuting goes beyond the workplace as well. We are also seeing universities make an effort to lessen their carbon footprint by establishing commuter programs for students, faculty and staff.
With all of the many reasons to telework, the one that stands out to me most on this Earth Day are the environmental benefits. The largest ecological footprint (carbon) for many organizations derives from workers commuting to work. Worker commutes are listed as a scope 3 greenhouse gas emission by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Which is why I'm thankful to work for a company that makes it easier for people to work from anywhere. So today, like many other days, I don't have to wear my road warrior hat and am doing my part by teleworking.
Do you want to know what your commuter carbon footprint is? Check out this calculator, courtesy of Stanford University, to find out the economic and environmental costs of your commute.
Hopefully, like me, you don't have to commute today. Happy Earth Day!

As much fans most otaku are of companies like XSEED, NIS America, Atlus USA and other publishers that specialize in bringing niche Japanese titles overseas, sometimes its easy to forget that sometimes there's more to think about than when your favorite localizer will bring that obscure RPG you've been begging for to a language you're familiar with. After all, for all the passion they can command, these companies are businesses, too, and objective number one of nearly every successful business is being successful.
Which is why it's great news that The Last Story is apparently XSEED Games most popular release ever. For all the antics of Operation Rainfall and the positive praise the game garnered in its time not being localized for English-speaking gamers (North Americans in particular), no one was truly sure whether all this "fan demand" would assert itself in the form of sales. In the case of The Last Story, it did, and much to XSEED's benefit.
One might think success a given considering The Last Story's pedigree as one of the Wii's last great games, and a full-featured JRPG from Final Fantasy luminary Hironobu Sakaguchi and his studio Mistwalker (they of Last Odyssey fame), but the fall from prominence of Japanese gaming and the Wii's ill reputation among the hardest-core gamers put much into question.
Thankfully, that's now a moot point, as XSEED's happy its bet has born fruit. So happy, in fact, that they're sending the game on a second printing run, with a new price point of $29.99, and all remaining first-run copies (which included an art book and special case) have been discounted to $39.99. It seems they're still aiming to keep this story from being the *ahem* "last story" of The Last Story's success.

Kerry Washington gives uproarious mad lib performance on 'Tonight Show'
Kerry Washington stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to supply some nouns, verbs, and adjectives for "Mad Lib Theater."
The bit started as most mad lib things do — with a collection of random words. After gathering all the words, Washington and Fallon sat down in a classroom set. Washington played a teacher and Fallon played a parent meeting with her to discuss his son.
Washington said, "Your son is getting a Q in math and a D in going to the dentist. And for show and tell, he brought in seven billion smelly frogs."
While the child's performance in academic subjects was disconcerting, Washington said his behavior is what really upset her. "Today during social studies I found him in the back of the classroom, screwing," she claimed.
The performance was fun and full of laughs. It was also a nice departure from her hit show, Scandal.
The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 on NBC. Watch clips and full episodes of The Tonight Show for free on Yahoo View.

At last – party season is upon us and I couldn't be more excited! Mulled wine, late nights and back-to-back weekends filled with festive get-togethers. Whether you're going on your work's Christmas party, or you're heading down to the local pub for a catch up with your old school friends, there's no escaping the festive cheer. But the only dread I seem to have is, what kind of party wear should I buy!
I always think I'm easy enough to shop for. If it's black, it's mine. If it's oversized, it's mine – but how can you correlate that into a season filled with glitter and sequins? There's only so many black lace dresses a girl can own, and trust me I've got them all. So this season I've decided to put together a series of looks for 'What To Wear in The Party Season, For The Non Party Girl' utilising those must-have festive pieces in a really wearable way.
First up I thought I'd try out this (beetle juice-esque) Stripe Co-Ord Blazer with matching Stripe Trousers Suit from H&M. Now I'll be wearing this throughout Autumn/Winter and most definitely as separates to but this time I wanted to put together a more festive outfit. Wearing this beaut Rose Gold Open Black Top from Warehouse and oversized shopper from Saint Laurent, I was ready to hit the Christmas party scene without the need of my pals wearing reflective sunglasses from all the sequin sparkle!

Move aside, Unicorn Frappuccino - there's a new drink at Starbucks that will soon be all over your Instagram feeds.
On July 10, Starbucks is releasing the new Tie-Die Frappuccino Blended Beverages at stores across the country. The company is calling the drink the "ultimate tasty summer accessory".
The frozen drink has yellow, red, and blue tie-dye swirls and is topped with whipped cream and a colorful topping. The colors in the drink come from turmeric, red beet, and spirulina.
"The Tie-Dye Frappuccino blended beverage has a tropical fruit flavor that will take you to your happiest place," the company said in the press release.
This drink will only be available for a few days, while supplies last. If this is anything like the infamous Unicorn Frappuccino launch of 2017, you'll want to go to Starbucks today to get a taste of this unique drink. The Unicorn Frappuccino was another limited-time offering, but some stores ran out of the ingredients to make the drink on the day of the launch.
Not everyone is thrilled about this new drink, though.
"It looks like it's going to be the Unicorn Frappuccino all over again, which the company said they wouldn't do again because of partner feedback," a Starbucks employee said in an interview with Business Insider.
Several baristas have also expressed their concern about launch day on Twitter.
"I already know ima be hating life," one person said.
"If you order the tie dye Frappuccino when it launches, just know every barista working hates you," another person tweeted.
It's hard to tell if the Tie-Dye Frappuccino will result in the same craze as the Unicorn Frappuccino and other Instagram-friendly drinks from Starbucks.
Just a word of caution: if you're stopping by Starbucks for a cup of coffee, you may want to budget a little extra wait time.

What would it be like if you could build a new city with all the fancy futuristic technologies that are around the corner? Google parent company Alphabet isn't entirely sure, but it wants to find out. Rather than be content with projections and simulations, Alphabet's Sidewalk labs plans to build a real city called Project Sidewalk from the ground up to test new technologies.
Alphabet (previously just Google) is working on plenty of ideas that need real world testing before they can become full-fledged products, but getting cities to go along with big municipal tests can be a challenge. Much of the infrastructure in modern cities is cobbled together over the course of decades, and that makes implementing new technologies complicated and expensive.
The Alphabet city will test technologies like self-driving cars, new public transport, public WiFi services (perhaps similar to its LinkNYC project), and more. Connectivity certainly wouldn't be a problem. This is exactly what Sidewalk Labs was designed to do — explore big ideas that can change the way urban centers are planned and managed. Sidewalk is working with more than 100 urban planning experts to come up with models for how such a city would work.
Sidewalk Labs is currently going over its options to decide if it wants to buy land to build Project Sidewalk or work with a county to build a new enclave on public land. If it buys land for the project, the company could construct a planned community that could house hundreds of thousands of people. The plan still needs to be approved by Alphabet CEO Larry Page, though.
If approved, counties across the US could start offering up land later this year in a scramble not seen since the early days of Google Fiber.
