Leadership development plan is an important step towards becoming a better leader, proving a self-assessment and then a pathway to becoming a better leader (Craig et al., 2015). The objective of a leadership development plan is to underscore some of the things that contribute to one being a better leader. Such plans provide a valuable inventory of skills and attributes for a person who is studying with the aim of entering into a leadership position (Patterson et al., 2012).
The person performing this exercise can then outline some of the areas where they may be lacking, or where they feel that they would like to improve in order to become a better leader. The idea is rooted in trait leadership theory, one of the older leadership theories. This theory holds that leaders generally have certain traits, and that those traits are what make people more effective leaders. There has been some evidence in meta-analyses that supports the idea of a few traits being related to leadership, in particular intelligence, masculinity-femininity, and dominance. For the most part, these are related to leadership emergence rather than leadership performance (Lord, de Vader & Alliger, 1986), but for the student, understanding what gets you noticed and put into a leadership track matters. That makes a leadership development plan a valuable starting point for somebody with leadership ambitions, to take stock of where they are, and what steps they need to undertake in order to get to where they want to be. There are a number of assessments available that can help an individual to gauge his or her leadership traits and leadership potential, and that will be the basis of this development plan.
The Building Blocks
Much of leadership is more about what you can do, rather than what traits you have -- there is a difference between an idea and applying it, after all. But you have to start with the sort of traits that correlate well with leadership. A self-assessment can provide insight into one's strengths and weaknesses, and these can be matched up with the characteristics of a typical leader. There is an argument to be made that traits matter in a couple of ways. As Lord, de Vader and Alliger (1986) noted, they help a person to get noticed, that is, to be perceived as someone with leadership potential. There are issues here, notably that outsiders typically have biases when evaluating somebody else's leadership potential. Lord et al. (1986) noted that masculinity is a key leadership trait, not in terms of actual leadership performance but in terms of how people are perceived according to their leadership potential. While they were writing thirty years ago, and there is evidence of shifts in gender bias in leadership trait perceptions (Sczesny, et al., 2004), this points to a change in how we understand leadership. Leadership today is more refined, nuanced and arguably complex than it was when formal authority was all that was required of a leader.
Kirkpatrick and Locke (1991) examined leadership trait theory through a similar lens to Lord et al. They determined that traits were important in determining things like who sought a leadership role. In particular, the identified drive, motivation, honesty and integrity, cognitive ability, self-confidence and knowledge of the business as key leadership traits. The latter is important for performance, doubtless, but the first two are particularly associated with seeking out leadership positions in the first place. In other words, other traits are nice, but if one does not have the drive and motivation to become a leader, those other traits end up as little more than untapped potential.
I have identified my strengths as being that I am trustworthy, outgoing, empathetic, a creative thinker, with excellent organization skills, effective communication skills, that I am innovative, responsible, articulate, confident and organized. Some of these align directly with the antecedents of leadership identified by Kirkpatrick and Locke (1991), such as confidence and honesty. Arguably, the attributes of creativity/innovation are aligned well with knowledge of the business, though technically this need not be the case. But there is a case to be made that I would know the industry I am in, and be able to think creativity about finding solutions to issues. What is missing from my own trait inventory is actually the two critical dimensions of drive and motivation -- in particular with respect to being a leader.
The Strength-Based Leadership Assessment identifies my top five traits as communication, woo, harmony, input and empathy. These attributes were not identified as critical in older literature about leadership traits, such as Kirkpatrick, but they are more closely aligned with the modern shift in leadership styles, which in a diverse environment and a couple more generations in the workforce since Kirkpatrick, have shifted towards softer styles, and an emphasis on communication and emotional intelligence. Honesty is still important, and communication skills have emerged as perhaps the most important leadership trait (Salahuddin, 2010).
My strengths are defined by Gallup as follows. Communications, my strongest attribute, basically is interpreted as that I like to have conversations with people. This is not actually what communications skills are -- they are more properly understood as the ability not only to communicate my own ideas with clarity, but the ability to listen to others and understand their ideas with clarity. In the workplace, this is not about engaging others in conversations about the meaning of life, but having the ability to articulate a vision, gain buy-in from others, and to be able to understand subordinates' problems and effective deal with them, and to do this consistently so that the message is received strongly over time (Fairhurst, 2011). Woo is likened to being able to meet new people. This is a strong leadership quality that is effective in the workplace, because meeting people and being able to win them over is a key attribute that helps one to motivate others, bring them into the organizational, and to build bridges within the organization. Harmony is not necessarily a great thing for the workplace -- surface level harmony can hide deep underlying tension -- but this skill also reflects my emotional intelligence, in particular being able to work with people to bring about mutually acceptable solutions to even the most intractable problems. Input refers to my desire to take in new ideas, from a variety of sources. This is another great leadership trait because this input aids with creativity and innovation, and reflects a strong motivation for self-improvement. Empathy is another strong leadership trait, as it allows me to understand, and respond to, the needs of others.
I have learned other things in the course of this class. The emotional intelligence assessment, I scored highest on self-awareness, which makes sense as I can be quite introspective at times. I also scored well on social skills, again reflecting my listening, my openness and the input/empathy traits identified in the Strength-Based Leadership Assessment. The 360 feedback showed that people feel that I have good leadership potential. This feedback supports the idea that I communicate well, and have high emotional intelligence. The 360 showed that I am well-liked, and that I can be a persuasive influencer, because of this and my ability to interact with people on a deeper level. The 360 feedback, not surprisingly, did not reveal so much nuance about my inner workings -- what would other people know of that? So while some things, like communications and empathy came out well, some of the introspection did not, and arguably the creativity dimensions were not revealed as much as I would have thought -- I may not be perceived by others as creative as I see myself. Otherwise, I didn't receive negative feedback, just this omission, which makes sense because you aren't supposed to solicit your own 360 feedback -- you can't ask people to evaluate you and expect to get 100% honesty. Anonymity is sort of essential to the 360 feedback process, as well as consistent design and multiple raters, the 360 part (Alimo-Metcalfe, 1998)
I feel that these quizzes portrayed my strengths fairly accurately. They were fairly consistent in their evaluation of my strengths, and that consistency shows that these are traits that are fairly evident in me. It was basically a case of me being told the same thing several different ways. To me, that is pretty good. The quizzes in particular were able to capture some of the traits that others maybe don't see, but that I definitely see in myself. The initial assessment of building blocks, something where there is some literature with which to compare my results, highlighted that drive and motivation are key traits in leader, though not necessary key elements of leadership itself (Lord, de Vader and Alliger, 1986). This provides me with a sense that, going forward, one of the keys to my development as a leader will be to take the attributes that I have and specifically show more drive, so that others see me in the same light.… [END OF PREVIEW]

This article includes discussion of folate deficiency and folate deficiency associated neural tube defects. The foregoing terms may include synonyms, similar disorders, variations in usage, and abbreviations.
Folate deficiency is characterized by megaloblastic anemia and less frequently by neurologic problems, usually forgetfulness and irritability, but sometimes by neuropathy or myelopathy. Maternal folate deficiency early in pregnancy is also a major risk factor for fetal neural tube defects. Folate deficiency may arise as the result of dietary deficiency or generalized malabsorption, such as in sprue or celiac disease. A small number of affected individuals have hereditary folate malabsorption due to mutations in the SLC46A1 gene, which encodes the proton-coupled folate transporter responsible for folate transport across the intestinal epithelia and the blood-brain barrier.
Key points
• Derivatives of folic acid are required for nucleic acid and amino acid metabolism.
• Folate deficiency results in megaloblastic anemia and neurologic problems.
• Folate deficiency is observed in individuals with insufficient dietary folate, decreased uptake due to intestinal disease, or alcoholism.
• Folic acid fortification of cereal grains in the United States and some other countries means that dietary folate deficiency is becoming less common.
• A small number of patients with hereditary folate malabsorption due to mutations in the SLC46A1 gene have been identified.
Historical note and terminology
Dietary folate deficiency was first reported in 1930 by English physician Lucy Wills (1888–1964), who described megaloblastic anemia, identical to that seen in patients with pernicious anemia, among nutritionally deficient women at a hospital in India (Wills 1931; Anonymous 1964; Wadsworth 1988; Roe 1978; Bastian 2008; Lanska 2010).Angier et al 1946). The first patient with a genetic disorder resulting in specific inability to absorb dietary folate was described in 1961 (Luhby et al 1961).
Folic acid (also called pteroylglutamic acid) is a stable molecule that is not itself active metabolically.

AceShowbiz - Wendy Williams has no time to be crying over her ruined marriage to Kevin Hunter. The TV personality revealed on "The Wendy Williams Show" on Tuesday, May 14, that she was happily ready to embrace her new life as a single woman.
"I am working on my divorce pleasantly," Wendy said about her divorce from Kevin after 21 years of marriage. "I am a single woman, running around New York. I go out a lot, I'm a good time girl I like to have fun."
"I'm reclaiming my life. I don't have a boyfriend, but I'm rediscovering my love of men…I do date and I date pretty often," Wendy continued saying.
She also talked about her new home, where she's living after leaving a sober house. Of her new residence, which she described as the "ultimate bachelorette pad high atop everything," she said, "The parade of men will continue because I need things lifted, put in position…I'm still unpacking boxes, for God's sakes. That's all I'm saying."
The 54-year-old also offered an update on her 19-year-old son Kevin Hunter Jr., whom she shares with Kevin. "We do have our son, and he is away in college, and he's home from college break, he sees me, he sees his dad," she shared.
This is not the first time for Wendy to address her divorce on her show. She previously appeared to throw shades at both Kevin and his mistress in a recent episode of the show, though Kevin was reportedly "furious" about it. "Kevin's furious, he claims that Wendy promised him that their divorce would not become a hot topic on her show," said a source.
Another source previously claimed that Wendy and her estranged husband, who allegedly fathered a child with his mistress Sharina Hudson, "had zero contact" after she filed for divorce. Wendy "has nothing to say to him," added the source about Wendy and Kevin, who was also fired as executive producer of "The Wendy Williams Show".

BEIJING, Dec 17 (Reuters) - A Chinese forestry firm has applied to receive offset credits under the nation's nascent carbon market, the first to target domestic emissions trading schemes to fund reforestation projects.
Plantation firm Cuifeng said it could store 18,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year over two decades in trees by planting 867 hectares of new forest across nine counties in Guangdong province.
If the government approves the application, Cuifeng will be issued offset credits known as Chinese Certified Emissions Reductions (CCERs) for the carbon cuts it achieves.
It can sell the CCERs to big emitters covered by one of China's four pilot emissions trading markets, who are allowed to use the offsets to meet 5-15 percent of their obligation under the carbon schemes.
China, the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter, has opened carbon markets in Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai and Shenzhen, and plans to start three more in the next few months.
Last month, state-owned PetroChina became the first Chinese company to announce it had bought CCERs, paying renewables firm Longyuan 16 yuan ($2.62) a piece for 10,000 credits.
If successful, the carbon markets can provide a new source of funding for forestry projects as China strives to meet its target of increasing its forest coverage by 40 million hectares (400,000 square km) from 2005 to 2020, an area bigger than Japan's total land mass.
But verifying emission cuts from forestry projects is notoriously difficult, and has hampered project development in the U.N. carbon markets.
China must develop rigid and credible rules for forestry projects if its market is to fare better, according to Yu Tianfei, vice director at the Zhonglin Green Carbon Asset Management Centre of China's Academy of Forestry.
"There are questions around how these projects will be monitored and measured," Yu told Reuters.
The National Development and Reform Commission has approved two methodologies for tree planting projects, but according to Yu there is political uncertainty around how the local governments operating the carbon markets will implement these.
"There should be standardised registration procedures and nationally recognised technical methods to ensure the credibility of forestry projects," said Yu.
According to government data, China increased its forest coverage by 46 percent from 1992 to 2012, and plans to add another 13 percent to 2012 levels by the end of the decade.
But critics say much of the growth achieved so far has been unsustainable, as local governments have often opted for planting foreign tree species, which has disrupted biodiversity and depleted already limited water resources in arid and semi-arid areas.

Thanks to living organ transplant, our plan to be cool old ladies carries on. We're grateful for that. So is our mother Claire, a no-nonsense New England yankee who tries to stare down problems. Somewhere, our father and brother, both Bill, who both died too young from heart disease, helped us through too. Kristin's awesome teenage sons never had a doubt that she would get back to health. And that their daily dialogue would get back to reminders that the floor is not a closet and soda is not a breakfast food. The mundane moments in life can be the glorious ones. We're so thankful to have more of those.

About 2 months ago I went for my very first cosmetic treatment, some laser liposuction on my unsightly thighs. During my time in the clinic, check out Sono Bello reviews to see more about them, I was talking with the nurse about the worrying amount of young girls who feel pressured into cosmetic surgery or boy augmentation. As a mother of 2 young girls, this is something that causes me some concern and whilst I am not against cosmetic surgery or treatments, I believe that they should be chosen for the right reasons, as there are so many options for looking good, you can use skin care products and much more, for example, are you struggling to pick the best bar soap for men's face and skin ? this tip can to wonders without a surgery. But If you are looking to get some treatment done, or even some surgery, here are some of the things that you need to be thinking about.
Can You Afford It?
Before we even start looking at the other factors of your decision, money does play a huge role in what you are about to do and you must make sure that you can afford it. There are financing options available for people who want to have cosmetic surgery but you need to think long and hard about whether or not you can afford the repayments. After all, what good is it looking great if you can't afford to go out anywhere to show off your new look.
It is really important that you are honest about why you want to have cosmetic surgery and what was it that gave you the idea in the first place. If you have a problem which has bothered you for a long time, small breasts, crooked nose etc. then there is nothing wrong with boosting your self esteem and going under the knife to fix the issue. However, if you are going in for treatments so that you can keep up with the latest fashion trends or because you want to impress your friends, then this is not a very good idea at all and you are going into this for all of the wrong reasons.
What Are You Expecting?
It is vitally important that you have an understanding of what results you are expecting after the surgery. For many, they have ideas that a small change with radically alter their body for the better, and they can often be left disappointed. Make sure that you speak at length with your chosen clinic so that you know exactly what results you are looking for.
Body or Mind
It may be a good idea to book yourself in for a quick chat with a counsellor before going in for your treatment in order to ascertain whether you have a problem with your body or your mind. Body image issues which exist in the mind cannot be cured with surgery, no matter how much you get. Most people do just have an issue with one area of their body but some people's problem is much more mental and having someone to chat to about it can help you understand where your problem lies.

When Morris Dances in My Performing Arts Church
As a teen, I was very involved in my performing arts church youth group, which provided a great spiritual foundation, and delicious food, for me as I transitioned into adulthood. But like most adolescents, I also craved fun recreation and excitement. I wanted to dance at local clubs in particular. Believe it or not, these two separate activity pools conflicted with each other, as the typical club scene is a little racy – and not at all spiritual.
Fortunately, a few of my leaders were able to put their heads together and come up with a satisfying alternative. They invented their own "clean" club scene! Making use of community venues or the church itself, they would hold Friday and Saturday night events.
While many people in my church think of praise dancing as free movement of performing arts, Morris use any dancing style that are good at as praise dancing and this include ballet, ballroom, modern, or other classical styles. The praise dance attire give him the freedom he need to dance with his heart and be comfortable at the same time.
There are various shops and stores online where he told me he finds praise dancewear and they are normally sold for a fairly cheap rate. They usually consist of chiffon or other flowing fabrics combined with lycra or other stretchy fabric to allow for ease of movement. You can get various colors and normally there is no specific color used for a specific purpose. You can decide on colors to match your church or to celebrate a specific day. For example, Christmas can be celebrated by wearing red, green, silver, and gold.
Most of the time, he will find that homecoming dances are also performed as a celebratory affair in many cultures involved in arts and this allows him to wear traditional dance and performing arts costumes, and praise dance attire that works for the type of homecoming it is. One of the noticeable traits of praise dance costumes is the arts of layering. A lot of the time, the costumes will have white leotard or top with a purple or blue over it combined with either large flowing pants or a long skirt. he told me that you can also get dresses that are full length with a different color top over it, or panels in the pants. Sometimes the dresses have a long scarf type neck. The sleeve lengths are normally long or three quarter length, and can be tight or loose.
Sometimes praise dancing will make use of scarves, ribbons, or other accessories in the dances and some dancers do not wear shoes. You can of course wear ballet shoes, soft gymnastic shoes, or any other shoes that you feel comfortable in. Don't forget that you can purchase all these items from a dance supply store and you can also have them made for your performing arts church or praise and worship group. All you need to do is search for a pattern of design that you like on the media industry, the news, or anywhere on internet.
I find that one great advantage of this approach was that they were able to tailor each performing arts club night to our specific interests because they knew us so well. They arranged to set up a "bar," which always offered my favorite sodas and kept fresh limes on hand – just because they knew I liked to add them to my drinks. Little touches such as these helped us feel their unique love for us as youth while also setting up a safe environment for us to dance, eat tasty food and socialize.
Each of our leaders collaborated to help is feel authentic, like we were at a real performing arts club (without some of the down sides). We received event wristbands at the door or stamps that showed up in UV light. Often, professional DJs were hired to be the life of the party.
Whenever more than one dance floor was available at the venue, they decided to brand out a little to entice more youth. Instead of limiting the music to typical hip-hop you would likely hear at local performing arts clubs, they played different music on separate floors, which was news to me. They would offer salsa lessons or play upbeat techno or even offer line dancing or country swing. This helped to broaden the appeal to individuals that might not otherwise attend, so everyone felt included.
I always welcome to invite friends and associates outside of our immediate church circle. Not only did this increase quality social experiences, it helped us as youth to have comfortable missionary opportunities. Our friends could attend a performing arts church function without feeling pressured, which could make all the difference when they were first gaining interest in the faith.
I highly encourage all youth group leaders to consider opening up opportunities like this to their teens and young adults. Having a safe haven for plenty of good, clean fun made a huge impact on my life choices as I grew older, and it can do the same for your youth.

If you're in need of cash and you need it right away, then you may want to consider going into your jewelry box and cleaning it out. You can take your jewelry and sell or pawn it at the local pawn shop – in fact, jewelry is a hot item at most pawn shops, especially those that focus on jewelry. Before you head over to a pawn shop, there are some things you need to know.
Items that are in Demand
First of all, you should know the items that are in demand. Pawn shops are known for selling and pawning a lot of different items from gold necklaces to guitars. Gold in any form, like rings, coins, necklaces, and even dental gold can go for a pretty good price. How about that old, unused sterling silver set you have in your cabinets? That would bring in some nice cash as well.
Loose diamonds and platinum are also good, depending on the condition and weight of it. Other items that you could consider selling at your local pawn shop include watches, estate jewelry, gemstones, heirloom jewelry, and antiques. As usual, the estimate price you will be given will depend on the market value and the condition of the item you're trying to sell or pawn.
Know How a Pawn Loan Works
If you don't really like the idea of selling the item, because you can't give it back, then you could always pawn the item. However, it is important that you know exactly how a pawn works. Let's say you have a piece of jewelry that you would like to pawn. Take it into the pawn shop and they will look it over and appraise it. The appraiser will then tell you the price they are willing to offer for the item – you will also have the interest rate tacked onto this loan.
If you're trying to pawn jewelry and coins, then the value will be based on traditional industry factors, such as the rarity, condition, and karat weight. From there, the pawnbroker will offer a fixed-rate loan that is based on the amount the two of you agreed on. The period of time that you have to pay the money back will be anywhere from 30 to 60 days, depending on the pawn shop.
If you agree on the price as well as the terms of the loan, then the cash will be handed over to you before you walk out of those doors. The item will be placed as collateral against the money you borrowed. You will get a pawn ticket that has a description of the item you pawned, your name, address and the loan amount, along with the maturity date. The local police station will also receive a copy of that receipt. Once you have paid the money back in full, you will receive your item back.
When you're looking for a pawn shop to sell or pawn your items, you need to find a good pawn shop. The pawn shop should be clean, and professional and it's also a good sign if they're a member of the National Pawnbrokers Association. Take a look at Cash4jewelrynow.com for examples of what a pawn shop that specializes in jewelry would be selling.

Pre Game Tactical Analysis Type ThingOne thing that recent games has taught me is that the fragility of Wood Elf armies leaves a lot to be desired. They are pretty much the spoilt brat of the Warhammer world; good at giving it out, not much cop at taking it. Anyone who has read my recent Wood Elf batreps will probably notice a trend of my army collapsing during the magic and close combat phase (I still like to think I can hold my own in the shooting phase). A couple of units I do like are Wild Riders and Warhawk Riders, the former is I think the hardest hitting fast cavalry in the game and Warhawks are one of the few units in my army with a bit of durability. Obligatory Sisters of the Thorn to hide my BSB and Darkweaver in and my new favourite thing in my army Daith's Reaper. I was expecting lots of awful Skaven war machines so I built up my core troops with lots of Glade Riders with anti-Skaven arrows. Glade Guard, Scouts and Waywatchers provided missile support. A couple of dirty tricks Terror causing Darkweaver and the Tormentor Sword for the BSB nearly made up my army. I went for a mounted Amber wizard as I thought there were enough buffs in the lore to help my army's staying power, added to the fact that as most of my army was mounted, I'd get a +1 to my casting rolls.
As far as Stuart's army was concerned I was a bit surprised to see no artillery just lots of awkward units of 20+ ratmen ready to steadfast the shit out of my army. What I was displeased to see was two Abominations, generally I only have one of these to deal with, but this time there was a double dose!
Setup and Stuff I forget Phase
After I won the roll for table edge (the side of the table furthest away from the kettle is best as you don't have to make the tea), the set up is below, both Abombs were deployed on the flanks as were the Plague Monks with the grunt infantry in the middle. Skweel Gnawtooth gave the giant rats an extra attack due to his advanced animal handling routines. I deployed from left to right Warhawks, Glade Guard, Waywatchers, Wild Riders #1, Mizard Wodel, Sisters, General, Wild Riders #2. I deployed my scouts to the far right. This is actually the second or third picture of setup as prior to this I won the roll for first turn but didn't deploy either scout unit. Subsequently I did deploy them and lost the roll for who goes first. Didn't vanguard as both Abombs were disadvantageously positioned (ok, ok I forgot). Also forgot to give Thanquol his Arrow of Kurnous . D'oh!
Turn One
The Skaven advance sounded with the synchronized squirting of the musk of fear (possibly trumpets too). The Abomb #1, opposite the Warhawks virtually rocketed forward 15" (thank Odin I forgot to vanguard) and Abomb #2 moved forward an also impressive 12". The rest of the army moved forward with two unit occupying buildings to the left and right (this was to become a common theme in the game). the river turned out to be a raging torrent and 7 Clanrats drowned trying to get into the tower. The skavenslaves were far better at negotiating the water though and lost none. Stu's magic roll was a 6 + 4 with a channel. He cast Death Frenzy on the giant rat unit, I dispelled Blessed With Filth and scrolled Howling Warpgale. Two packmasters hearts gave out due to the spell ( Death Frenzy not Howling Warpgale) . I was 9-0 up on casualties so far this game so it was all going swimmingly..........
|Rocket Abomination
Stuart activated his Storm Banner so any cool shooty stuff or clever flying maneuverings were out the window for this turn. I charged Wild Riders #1 into Abomb #2 knowing that the other Wild Rider unit had the Banner of Eternal Flame. Oh well, they would have to elf up and do one! my Warhawks skipped back with their paltry move of 1 and the Eagle Rider strode forward 2. Magic was a 5 + 2 with no channels. I attempted to cast Bladewind on the Plague Monks - rolled a 1 + 2 so that didn't happen. The Sister's then cast Curse of Anhreir on the giant rats which was narrowly undispelled by 1 (due to them being war beasts). Also cast Wyssan's on the Wild Riders. It had been a not too bad magic phase. Shooting wasn't so bad all thing considered (the fucking Storm Banner to be precise) 9 were killed from the giant rat unit including 2 packmasters. Close combat was eventful, my Wild Riders alone caused 11 wounds (after regeneration 4), then the stags saved the day by goring it to death. The Wild Riders, ever the impetuous deer jockeys leap over the steaming mound of purulent offal and hurtle off into the Clanrats. Then something awful happened Abomb #2 came back to life! Back on 3 wounds Abomb #3 was born! now my plans were well and truly scuppered!
|Wild Riders don't double tap
|End of Turn one
Turn Two
|Not all that dreaded 13th
The Storm Banner faded so that was good news, Abomb #3 crashes into the Sisters and Abomb #1 gets the 11 needed to hit the Warhawks. The giant rats charge the Glade Guard in the woods losing 8 to dangerous terrain tests (passing their panic test). Magic was 4 + 6 with a channel. Stu 8* diced The Dreaded 13th and the hilarious picture above shows the result and I dispel both Wither & Cloud of Corruption. Abomb #1 win combat by 4 against the Warhawks but amazingly they hold. Despite the giant rats being jacked up on magical amphetamine my Glade Guard rout them, sadly the rout test were passed by the Skaven around them. The Wild Rider #1 unit caused 9 wounds on the Clanrats but steadfast saved their ratty bacon. Abomb #3 causes a net +4 combat resolution but due to the BSB and general being near pass, they do however fail to reform.
|Skweel leads from the front
|Surprise Party
|End of turn Two
Turn Three
Stu's giant rats rally, the Skavenslaves charge through the marsh to the waywatchers losing 5 to dangerous terrain and shooting. Magic - Howling Warpgale failed on a double 1. A Plague Priest miscasts Cloud of Corruption, it kills 4 Waywatchers and a few Sisters. Also Mizard Wodel is hit twice but luckily his Obsidian Amulet saves the day. No other skaven were harmed in the casting of this spell - Thanquol saves his wound but 3 Monks die from the ensuing detonation. Skaven, eh? First bit of shooting from the skaven army sees Thanquol misfire with both warpfire throwers killing 7 giant rats. Skaven again, eh? The Warhawk Abomb battle drew to a bloody close when the elves took another 3 wounds off it only to be thoroughly pulped by flailing fists leaving some birds and elves mangled in one bloody heap. the Skavenslaves rout and catch the Waywatchers whilst the Elf Lord does the same to the Plague Monks without the catching, as he flew into the Clanrats fighting the Wild Riders. Another round of combat was fought with a Wild Rider dying and the skaven losing another 9 rats only to pass their break test on a 5!
|Abomination wants to hug flappy friends
|Slaves & Plague Monks like to party
|End of Skaven turn Three
|End of Wood Elf Turn Three
Turn Four
The Hellpit Abomination trundled towards the centre of the battlefield and the Plague monks rally (the 18" leadership bubble from Thanquol really is a pain!). The giant rats flank charge my Glade Riders whilst the skavenslaves charge from the front losing 6 to the cold water. Another eventful magic phase of 4 + 6 with 3 channels. Cloud of Corruption is miscast, puts a wound on my general, kills the solitary Wild Rider next to him and kills 3 Glade Riders. Mizard Woble
dies valiantly makes his ward saves much to my amazement. The resulting miscast wounds all three skaven magic users. Shooting does nothing. The Glade Guard/ Clanrat fight goes on 5 from each side getting killed, the Glade guard make their break test, whilst on the other table side my 5 Glade Riders are chopped up by the combined forces or rattery that oppose them, two combat reforms later and they're ready for a little more carnage.
|Turn 4 after Skaven movement
|End of skaven turn 4
|Generals meet in the middle
Turn Five
Stuart's incredibrave Plague Monks rally again! The giant rats charge my two Glade Riders who decide flouncing off on their pretty horses is preferable to getting gnawed to death by rabid fleabags who flee. In the magic phase Stuart Curse of The Horned Rat my largely uninspiring scouts who achieved bugger all most of this game ( now they get a chance to do the same in the opposite movement phase). Luckily the spell was miscast so I hoped for something Dimensional Cascadey, what I got was a smug Thanquol 2 dead Wild Riders and a general down to one wound! Not optimal. Close combat was my general against his and at this point I really should mention Daith's Reaper, it truly is an awesome weapon, rerolls misses and failures to wound whilst successful must be rerolled. All for 50 points, it's a bargain! Back on topic the combat saw no one wound each other at all. The Glade Guard in the wood finally succumbed to the now much depleted Clanrat unit dying to an elf.
|Turn 5 post miscast all according to plan
|Skaven magic; the somewhat dreaded 13th
|Turn 5 Mizard Wodel gets shit done
Turn Six
The Plague Monks charge my general, more for moral support I think rather than anything else. The Abomb #1 tries to get jiggy with my Darkweaver/BSB unitette. A 3 + 3 magic phase and Bless with Filth is cast on Thanquol. In their combat my general puts two wounds on Thanquol whilst saving two in return, a break test is made and passed and I can breathe again! In other news my BSB shoves the Darkweaver out of the way and twats the Abomb #1 on the head killing it. The skaven BSB is still cowering at the back and no one wounds my Darkweaver.
My final turn. The two Glade Riders, feeling brave and possibly egged on by Mizard charge into the Clanrat's flank. In the magic phase a boosted Word of Pain goes off on Thanquol with -1 to his relevent stats. Wyssan's is again dispelled. Close combat and the Clanrats with the terrified BSB in it finally break and run (except for the BSB, who had been trying to give the standard to anyone else in the unit to save his own worthless hide). The final event was my general finally killing Thanquol in the last turn of the game! After some totting up, a victory for the elves is written in the great Blog of Ages, never to be forgotten.

KARACHI: Sindh Advisor Information and Archives Moula Bux Chandio said on Thursday that law and order situation in Karachi is improving significantly soon after new Sindh Chief Minister has assumed the charge of his office.
"The interior ministry has approved a 90-day extension in the special policing powers of Sindh Rangers in Karachi and has also issued notification in this regard. There is sharp decline in target killing, extortion, robberies and dacoities in Karachi after which people are passing their social and business life with peace," Chandio said in a statement.
The advisor said that Sindh government is fully empowered under the 18th Constitutional Amendment to take decision for maintaining law and order; however, consultation with the federal government is required in this regard, which has been fulfilled constantly.
He said: "The Rangers and police will now continue operation against terrorism, extortion and target killing, and no criminal will be let move free, he said. "Sindh government and Rangers actions in Karachi are in accordance with the National Action Plan, which was approved by major political parties." Agencies

As your HR partner, we can help take care of the only downsides to this benefit: paperwork and regulations.
What the Experts Say
"As the average life expectancy continues to increase, more and more Americans are growing concerned about outliving their retirement savings. In fact, a poll conducted earlier this year by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) found that running out of money is the top retirement-related worry for U.S. adults, based on financial planners' client interactions. The two biggest factors behind Americans' concerns about outliving their money were found to be rising healthcare costs and stock market volatility." Continue reading this article, "Retirement Is Becoming More Expensive," written by Charles Couch on the Slavic 401k website.

Using a half-dozen messaging services is hardly uncommon in 2018.
Refusing to offer default end-to-end encrypted messaging — nevermind across platforms — in 2018 is technological malpractice.
A new medical clinic has been built in your neighborhood. Just down the street. It's in walking distance.
There's no worry about insurance. There are no co-pays. If you need help, you get help. In fact, you have to work hard to ever see a bill. This new clinic has the best doctors and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. It doesn't just diagnose a cold — it cures it on the spot.
It sounds great, but if anyone ever had to actually wait to be seen, if appointments took more than 30 minutes, there would be lines down the block.
There's just one catch. Nobody there wears gloves. Sure, there's not all that much of a chance that they'll spread any sort of contagion — and certainly not on purpose. But gloves get in the way and keep the docs from working the way they want to.
You get get a clinic with gloves just down the street. Its lines are also short, and fees are minimal, and it cures the common cold pretty much just as quickly. … But no gloves.
The metaphor is admittedly a little stretched, but this is how I'm starting to see Google's lack of a messaging service that includes encryption by default.
What messaging strategy?
Let's rewind a bit. Google's "messaging strategy," insofar as it has one that isn't just rebranding apps every few years, has never included any sort of real attempt at the sort of encryption we should demand in real-time messaging.
Google's messaging strategy is as much a failure of focus as it is technological.
Hangouts chats were encrypted using HTTPS and TLS. But they weren't end-to-end encrypted, meaning Google (and a demanding government) could break in, if it wanted. Allo had end-to-end encryption available in an optional "incognito mode," but things otherwise were left open by default. (And that was by design.)
Today, Hangouts has been shunted off to business use, and Allo is being put out to pasture. Google instead has put its muscle behind RCS "Chat," which essentially is a modern version of the old SMS text messaging system. That in and of itself is a worthy goal. SMS (and MMS) is a legacy mechanism that should have been put down years ago. And if anyone can wrangle carriers for a new standard, it's Google.
RCS is a rich messaging system that allows for smarter (and more fun) messaging. But not every phone will have access to it at first — again, it's up to individual carriers to implement — and so it'll fall back to the legacy SMS system in that case.
But it's not enough. And it doesn't excuse Google from providing an encrypted out-of-box messaging experience for its users across Android and the web at large.
Apple's iMessage service does it right — encrypted messaging out of the box — even if its lock-in to Apple-only devices is very much wrong.
iMessage is right even as it's wrong
I'd been loathe to accept Apple's iMessage on principle. Some context here as well: iMessage is a service that works within Apple's "Messages" app. Communications between two iMessage users are end-to-end encrypted. That is, only the people chatting with each other can decrypt the messages. Apple can't read the messages, and it doesn't want to. If you're using the Messages app to chat with someone who's not on iMessage — generally, that'll be someone on Android — it falls back to unencrypted SMS.
Apple's iMessage lock-in is still bad, even as it shows the standard for basic secure communications.
To the Apple user, it's seamless. There's absolutely no thought involved. To borrow the phrase, it just works.
But a modern messaging service must work across multiple platforms. It's the right way to do it, and it's the right thing to do. Apple's gonna Apple, however, and so iMessage continues to be available on hardware that funnels money directly to Apple, and nowhere else. If an iMessage user messages someone on Android, it falls back to good ol' SMS. (Presumably that'll change to RCS at some point, but we don't yet know.)
And then there's the breakage that occurs if you try to get off of iMessage. You will miss important communications that get stuck in an iMessage loop, if the sender didn't delete that thread and start a new one, or if you didn't properly shut off iMessage or deregister your phone number. That's not just poor user experience — it's punitive lock-in, bordering on extortive. "Hey, sorry you missed out on some messages. Guess you should have stuck with us."
But iMessage does the encryption part right. It starts with encryption — prefers it, really — and falls back to insecure SMS if it has to.
RCS is better, but it's not enough
A better standard messaging service is a worthy endeavor. It'll be slow to be adopted worldwide, for sure, but it clearly should be the new baseline for basic communications between phone users. And that RCS is unencrypted shouldn't be a deal-breaker.
But that also underscores the company that sells the most smartphones in the world to provide something better, something safer, by default. Encrypted messages first — and for messages between Android and iPhone, too — with a fallback to RCS and SMS if necessary.
Google's got the capability to do this, I'm sure. Why it's not doing this is a head-scratcher.
If you're not offering a secure, encrypted experience by default, you're doing it wrong.
And that's the conclusion I came to in the past few weeks as I started to move my family from the Facebook-owned WhatsApp to Signal. Only a couple of us in my immediate circle are Android users, and I wanted us to have a secure way to chat with everyone else. On principle.
And then I decided that maybe it shouldn't just be about me. I shouldn't force my family to jump through more hoops just because there's no cross-platform encrypted messaging service from Google. (Though to be clear, still iMessage fails miserably on the "cross-platform part of that equation.)
I picked the wrong week to get serious about switching to an iPhone.
— Phil Nickinson (@mdrndad) May 8, 2018
So I am, for the first time, really switching to the iPhone. Maybe not quite whole-heartedly, maybe not quite willingly. But I also don't have in the back of my head that I'll fire up the Pixel again when all the little annoyances that make up the one big annoyance that is iOS start to drive me crazy. Because I want the people I communicate with most to have secure communications with me. By default.
If Google's not going to give me encrypted messages by default, so be it. And I'll still grumble (loudly) about Apple's iMessage lock-in. If Apple really wants to make messaging more secure, it should do so for everyone. Not just those who buy its hardware. (Hell, charge me for off-iOS iMessage on Android, then. I'll pay it.)
But making my family bounce between additional encrypted messaging apps — or making my friends fall back to insecure SMS — was starting to make me feel like I was forcing them to get an extra flu shot just because I didn't like the proprietary gloves being worn by the docs they'd been seeing. At some point it's not about me.
And at some point Google has to put on the damn gloves.

WAAY 31 was the first to hear a terrifying first-hand account of a home invasion in Jackson County.
According to a 16-year-old victim, criminals came in his home and fired shots while only he and his friend were there.
Deputies are still looking for the three people who forced their way into the home in the Baileytown community, putting the 16-year-old in the hospital.
WAAY 31 sat down with the teen who was just released after having to get nine staples in his head.
The teen told WAAY 31 he was sound asleep when he heard someone banging on his front door.
"I woke up to come open the door because I thought it was my brother getting off work, and then they just kicked in the door by the time I could get there and just started shooting," Ethan Rorex said.
That's what Rorex remembers from early Monday morning when three men bashed in his family's front door on County Road 138.
"I got body-slammed by one of them, and then pistol-whipped four times in the head," Rorex said.
Next, the intruders tied Rorex and his friend using zip ties and then beat him.
"I got threw face-down right here, and they held me face-down, and then shot right here above my head," Rorex explained.
He tells WAAY 31 he's still not sure what the home invaders wanted or why they attacked him.
"I was in shock. I didn't know what was going on really," Rorex said. "I was just like, 'what the heck.' and then especially when there's guns involved."
Rorex tells WAAY 31 he never would have imagined a brutal attack in his own home; but, he says he's just thankful his family wasn't there.
"I'm just glad that my mother and nobody else in the family was here really, because it probably could've been a lot worse," he said.
Deputies tell WAAY 31 items were stolen from the home, but they couldn't tell us exactly what was taken.
No arrests have been made at this time.

Autism is lonely.
Well, I speak as a mom of a teenager who has autism.
But, my 14 year old son would agree that, although there are real blessings in having autism, there are many moments when he feels alone.
So, running into another person on the autism spectrum is like bumping into an old friend who gets you in ways that many people don't. That's how I felt when I found a post from Chris Bonnello, aka "Captain Quirk." Fabulous name, isn't it?
It was like a breath of fresh air to read the perspective of someone who struggles in ways that my son does and who has made it through childhood into thriving adulthood. His list of ten tips for navigating adolescence on the autism spectrum is pure gold.
For now I'm just soaking in the true comfort of his first tip. "You are not alone."
According to the CDC, one percent of the world's population is on the autism spectrum. In America the number is higher. The current estimate is that one in 68 people are on the spectrum. And, even higher, one out of 42 boys is on the spectrum.
Even if you only look at the one percent figure, there is comfort. One percent sounds small, but if your high school has 2,000 students in it that means 20 of them are on the spectrum.
Whether or not you ever talk to those 20 people, it is a comfort. Because you know that you are not in this alone. There are others who think and feel and experience things so much like you. Of course, to find them and connect with them brings even greater comfort. Not for advice. Just to be understood. Just to speak and for someone to say, "Yeah, me too."
I have been in recovery group meetings where the rule is that you cannot interrupt or even comment on what someone else shares. It seems crazy that it would help anyone to sit in a circle of people and listen to others' stories and tell your own when it's your turn and not give any comments. But it does!
There is strange power in knowing that you are heard. Odd healing in expressing the deep stuff that you've never told anyone. When your turn is over and you hear the next person's story, it's like them saying, "Yeah, me too."
What a beautiful, healing statement for those of us who experience pain. No solutions or suggestions or even words of comfort. Just "Yeah, me too." We are not alone.
As a fellow human being, we have the power of offering the comfort of those words. Whether or not we have experienced the exact circumstances, there is some point of connection that we are bound to share. As Henri Nouwen said, "That which is most personal is most universal."
The deeper down we go into feelings like rejection, fear, and being alone, the more universal those feelings are.
So, if my son feels very deeply like he doesn't "fit in," I can honestly say I get it. I have definitely had times where I feel like an alien here. I bet you have too.
Like Lucy in "The Chronicles of Narnia," we carry around with us a bottle of magical healing potion. Our experience as humans can give comfort and healing to our beloved spectrum friends and to anyone else with just three words: "Yeah, me too."

www.spawnsite.net is back
I believed that the files for this site was gone for good, but then it was not...
A friend of mine used to host this website until 10 years ago and he just happend to have a backup of it all.
Not that I am aware of a huge No one lives forever player base these days or modding community for that matter,
I figured why not put the site back up.
Someone might still find what they need here.
The forum is converted from Invision 1.3.1 (which is very old ) to phpbb3.2.4 and as far as I can tell, its a successful convertion now. Many of the images in the forum were hosted elsewhere, which means that if the host is gone, so is the image.
Keep in mind that this was over 10 years ago.
Anyway. Hope it can be useful for someone, somewhere
If you never played any Nolf game and wants to check it out or cannot find your cd anywhere,
check out Unityhq.net or Nolfrevival.tk
If you are a returning player like me, there is a few things that needs to be tweaked in order to play

Glad to see some of the dEdit legends are still alive and well - Spawn, Wiky, etc.
Re: www.spawnsite.net is back
Don't know about making a second mod but I've still got an unfinished map that would have went into the first one that I could probably get around to finishing some day.
Re: www.spawnsite.net is back
Good to see you guys!
I fired up Dedit the other day and it was actually quite satisfying to make triangles again.
I may finish the some of the projects I worked on myself
Pegasus II would have to include Gnomeregan helicopters, and ofcourse a gnome flying it... right?

Here are a few images from inside the book that I found on the internet...
While I read the book I had my students make the different types of lines on each page using their hands.
Then we practiced making different types of lines in our journals using crayons and markers.
This looked like a fun follow-up to the book. This picture and idea came from Play 'n' Learn. Students could actually used different colors of yarn and make a picture. Then they could write a line of text that describes the picture to go with it. Students could also draw and color a picture with pencils, markers, and/or crayons then outline the picture or add lines with the yarn afterward.

Kilo Squad -- have been "charged for treason because they didn't follow orders, stole equipment, and their actions could end up killing millions of people they swore to protect," an anonymous source told IGN.This is the premise of Judgment, and the crux of the trailer debuting at Microsoft's E3 press conference on Monday, June 4, where we'll learn officially that the next Gears of War is a prequel to the first game.
see deal
Gears of War: Judgment$15.97on Amazon
Baird and Cole look younger in Judgment because Kilo Squad was only around during the two years following Emergence Day, as far as the Gears of War novel Coalition's End is concerned. E-Day happened 14 years before the first Gears of War, which puts us more than a decade behind Epic's original Gears game, giving us the opportunity to watch their delightful relationship develop. It also leaves Judgment open to introduce a young Marcus Fenix before he gets thrown in the clink for desertion.
Two people new to the Gears canon join Baird and Cole, but we'll need to wait for Monday's E3 trailer to learn more about who they are, how they're connected to these guys, and what role they play in Kilo's treason.
Keep it locked to IGN.com for more on Gears of War: Judgment as details roll out over E3 2012 and beyond. Until then, let us know what you're expecting from Gears of War: Judgment in the comments below.

Yuichiro Hyakuya wanted more than his life of pain as livestock for the vampires who ran the ruined world. But his escape from their grasp held a high price tag and now, years later, he must fight alongside what's left of earth's resistance to reach his goal of vengeance.
High. We have a lot of blood being lost, through limbs being torn off to the obvious blood sucking scenes common in vampire flicks. If blood freaks you out, skip this title. Because there's really no way around it. This is definitely a show the pushes the boundaries of a TV14 rating for this sector alone.
Decently high as well. We have at least two or three characters that like using the b-wards or dumb-ss to insult one another. Expect foul language every episode (this exists in both sub and dub form).
We thankfully don't have to worry about much on this end. Aside from one scene where two girls are taking a shower, nothing to note. And the mist and camera angles in the shower keep any details from being seen, by the way.
Ok, here we go. Aside from the blood suckers, this show also deals with angels and demons. Our "heroic" group uses demon possessed weapons to fight vampires and if they aren't in perfect control over themselves, they will be possessed and go mad. Random monsters in this show are often given Biblical like names and the trumpets of the apocalypse are also seen and referenced multiple times. God is rarely, if ever, mentioned and thus all the "religious" things seen in this anime are more like "inspired bys" than actually taken from any specific set of beliefs. Kinda like how Thor in the Marvel universe is a very liberal "inspired by" of Norse mythology. So expect an unholy (haha pun intended!) amount of liberty taken with this stuff.
Personal impression:
This was actually oddly entertaining for me. I usually don't like these end-of-the-world kinda shows, but the cast really got me on this one. If you've ever seen the original Star Trek and loved the snappy dialog between Spock and McCoy or the snap backs between Edward and Roy from Fullmetal Alchmist, you'll probably really enjoy Yuichiro's relationship with his superior officer, which make for some pretty hilarious scenes. The supporting cast don't disappoint either. Not only do they keep the dialog fresh with slap backs of their own, but the female and male cast members actually get equal screen time and background work. That's pretty rare for action flicks these days. The amazing action, art and music just add to the surprisingly fresh chemistry between characters on screen.
But I've said too many good things. You knew it would come to this. The issues. The big, glaring, mammoth being the 24 episode run. Which ends on a cliff hanger and has zero chance of ever getting resolved. The original books aren't done either and word on the street is they're just as dead as the anime is. If you've read my thoughts on the 2013 Rozen Maiden show, you'll know what my feelings are on unresolved stories. It's not nice.
Now, if you can get past that, which granted is kinda big thing to overlook, this is a really great action anime. But if you need closure of any kind… well… this really isn't for you…

Do You Wanna Use a Snowman?
Kirstie Leave a Comment
This was the second goodie I got from the #bloggersSecretSanta14 event last month. Snowman shower jelly is not a product I have used previously so I was unsure if I was going to like this or not as I'm not a huge fan of products which come in a solid form in the shower. I found before with shower bars or jellies they don't foam up so you don't get the lathering up feeling you do from gels or from liquid shower products.
Snowman is another one of Lush's Christmas range, I can see why this product is only available around Christmas as it is a little treat. When I first opened the tub I was surprised that there was a little snowman hiding inside the tub when I emptied this onto my hand. at first I was a little apprehensive about using the product as I didn't loose the Snowman form of the jelly.
When I used Snowman in the shower it did lather up without too much product being used. The product doesn't really smell like anything I have used before, I expected it to be more creamy smelling but it isn't at all. It contains blackcurranty buchu oil and carrot oil, so carrots for the nose of the snowman and blackcurrant for the eyes. After using this in the shower my skin felt nourished and pampered which I surprised but felt this was a great feeling from a shower jelly.
Have you tried any other products in the Christmas range?

From the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Texas:
A 34-year-old Port Arthur, Texas man has been sentenced to federal prison for child pornography violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales on April 9.
Damien Oasis Winn pleaded guilty on Dec. 4, 2014, to possession of child pornography and was sentenced to 86 months in federal prison on April 9 by U.S. District Judge Ron Clark.
According to information presented in court, in December 2013, law enforcement officers conducting Internet undercover operations were made aware of a computer offering files containing child pornography for distribution. Further investigation revealed the computer belonged to Winn. On June 19, 2014, a federal search warrant was executed at Winn's residence and numerous computers and digital storage devices were seized. A forensic analysis of Winn's computer revealed over 600 images, including 31 videos, of child pornography. Winn was indicted by a federal grand jury on Sep. 3, 2014.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
This case was investigated by the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Beaumont Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall L. Fluke.

WP 2b - Political ecology of urban aquatic ecosystems
by Maria Kondra
Research Description
The main focus of this work package is to understand patterns and processes of urbanization and their ecological consequences for aquatic ecosystems (with a focus on wetlands) by studying the interactions of social institutions, culture and behavior, and built environment. In order to study the human influence on urban aquatic ecosystems we want to analyze how social dynamics transform natural landscapes. Consequently, we want to identify how people a) use and modify the ecosystem in order to obtain certain resources ("analysis of social production of services") b) experience dis-services due to modification of ecosystems e.g. through land-use and land-cover change and consequently lose certain services which then can result in dis-services for others (link ecosystem degradation to dis-services and services loss) and c) manage the land and its resources.
