Inspiration and Fascination – Banksy
Banksy is one of the most famous street artists in the world. But he is not just an artist, he is an agent of change.
Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. (Wikipedia, 2013)
Recent Banksy anonymously sold artwork on the streets in Manhattan. Unknowing art patrons buying art at the street vendor were completely unaware who's art they were buying. (http://tinyurl.com/kuzjb7r)
Despite being famous and world known this artist still surprises me every time. I love his style and his methods. He fascinates me and inspires me.
Your art does not always have to be recognized. You do not always paid for your work or receive credit. As long as you are happy with your work, that is all that matters.
Who inspires you?

Neighbour Phil in the depths of his back yard
Straddie has more than its fair share of characters. It's a community with a lot of friendly give and take. If someone has a party and the noise gets pretty horrendous then you either join in or buy a pair of ear plugs.
On the other hand if something needs doing, like a blocked drain, or leaves in the guttering, or a snake in the bedroom then chances are it will be a neighbour who comes to the rescue. There's always specialist help of varying ability somewhere nearby.
Neither the Reluctant Traveller nor I have many practical skills worth offering so more times then most we find ourselves on the receiving end of countless bounty. To explain; I'm not a good cook, so when I arrive at a neighbourhood soiree everyone expects me to bring curried eggs, and I never disappoint. The few times I've foolishly deviated from the tried and true have been hugely disastrous. I am at the very least a quick, though basic learner.
I do however often stand in loco parentis when a family pet is left home alone on necessary overnights to the mainland. Every second Saturday Ron and Lyn King's two fluffy feather dusters next door for example, accept my ministrations when their owners go over for their beloved Aussie Rules football matches.
Tony Wallace's constant companion, Max the orange Kelpie heeler, knows full well that the moment his master goes off on day shift to the mines, a simple stroll through our house to the big white frig in the kitchen equates to a tasty snack.
Neighbour Phil, wife Jen and my Reluctant Traveller looking down at the depths of their back yard
For years neighbour Phil two doors up, also a mine worker on shifts had a regular dog bathing appointment for his large and sturdy Rottweiler, Billy. Now Billy had a reputation, in my opinion undeserved, as being a dog one couldn't quite trust. Many feared him especially the dog washer who point blank refused to do the pushing and man handling needed to get Billy into his bath contraption on the back of a truck.
Enter the Reluctant Traveller's wife, me. 'Rob, could you hang around and get Billy in the truck later, I'm off to work and he's due for his bath this morning.'
No problem. Up I trot, Billy is one heavy lump of fur. He and I look at each other, meaningfully. Bill knows what I'm up to and he isn't going to make it easy. But I'm smarter than the average Rottie, and a simple trail of chocolate coco pops does the trick. Once he's securely locked in the bath truck, the washman emerges and the deed is done.
Sadly Billy the Rottweiler passed away some years ago, and a heartbroken Phil never replaced him.
Then, just recently, he acquired three chooks. This wasn't his first foray into poultry. The first effort went astray when the chooks turned out to be roosters and consequently failed to produce eggs.
I really wasn't aware of this latest acquisition until Phil lobbed at the front door, 'Rob, I've got to out of town for a few days, think you could round up the chooks and pen them at night for me while I'm away'.
'Chooks? What chooks?' I was hugely amused that he had resurrected the old chook pen down the farthermost end of his yard. 'Are you sure they're not roosters?'
This time he assured me the chooks were the real McCoy, and no doubt very soon they would begin paying their way.
Off he went and that afternoon the Reluctant Traveller and I played catch the chooks.
|Here chookie, chook, chook
Job accomplished
The old bribery trick worked a treat, this time with nibbles of dry bread. Safely locked up for the night the Reluctant Traveller and I climbed back up the hill to our place.
It wasn't until a good while later he made the comment, 'funny he only has the three chooks'.
Now up to that point I didn't have a worry one way or the other, the job was to shoo the chooks into the chook house, shut the gate and leave them to it. Until now, when doubt began to raise its ugly head.
I had memories of my daughter and her husband, Jenny and Chris in Tasmania when their chickens were picked off one by one by a marauding eagle. No, of course not, I tried to convince myself, there's only the three.
But niggling little thoughts wouldn't let me rest until I emailed Phil over town... just how many chickens am I supposed to be hatching? I asked him.
Then an agony of waiting until his reply arrived.
Now I could breathe easy, just the three.
Off to bed with a clear conscience. It's quite a responsibility looking after a neighbour's pets, as my Reluctant Traveller agreed.
A postscript – what Neighbour Phil didn't know and we soon found out, those pesky little chooks had discovered they had wings, and the moment we released them into their daytime yard they waited only until we were out of sight before taking off into the wild blue yonder.
Rounding them up at days end was not easy!

I had my saliva test results returned today and I'm not sure what I should do. The results are shown below. Can you advise? Do I take something to reduce Cortisol? Should I see my doctor about this?
I was prescribed 25mg of Levo a few weeks back but I didn't take it until I checked my adrenals. I have in the meantime tried to remain gluten free, take Vit D3, Selenium and Magnesium in the evening. I will be taking other supplements over time.
Before starting on the Levo how can I reduce Cortisol levels? Does this mean more exercise, less stress and it will right itself? Or can I/ should I take a supplement?
This forum has been really helpful, so hoping I can get some answers.

Don't miss out! Book your Alaskan Photographic Safari online today
As one of the most beautiful places on earth Alaska offers fantastic Brown Bear, bird and landscape photography.
Prince William Sound is a wonderland of massive glaciers, dense spruce forests and abundant wildlife. Embark on a journey that retraces the path of early explorers Vitus Bering, Georg Wilhelm Steller, Captain James Cook and Captain George Vancouver.
These great explorers discovered Alaska in 1741, navigated these waters in search of the Northwest Passage, identified new species of animals; Steller Sea Lion, Steller Jay, Steller Eider and Steller Sea Eagle, and traded with the indigenous people. Professional narration is provided by U.S. Forest Service Rangers on every cruise with stories about these early explorers and their adventures along our cruise routes.
Lake Clark boasts an array of wildlife, most prominently brown bears. It includes the shores of the Cook Inlet, which is prime bear territory, the glaciated heights of the Chigmit Mountains and the Aleutian range, the twin volcanoes, Mount Iliamna and Mount Redoubt.
Once at our location in Lake Clarke we will be based at the exclusive Silver Salmon Creek Lodge. The bears can quite often be spotted from the deck of the lodge. We will be traveling on ATV's with carts to our pristine shooting location and from there we will follow the bears by foot. We will be in the presence of experienced guides, who will make locating the bears both easy and enjoyable.
We will be able to see and photograph mother bears with their cubs feeding, foraging and playing about in the tundra surroundings. Just imagine standing in close range of a 500 kg+ male brown bear at eye level and taking images, an experience you will not soon forget and, we can do it all day, everyday with no concerns about safety or crowds of people. We will take a side trip to "Bird Island" where we will see and photograph Horned Puffins and other seabirds.
- All expert photography support
- Captain Cook Hotel accommodation (bed and breakfast)
- Land transport to Whittier for 26 Glacier Tour (lunch included)
- Return flights from Anchorage to Lake Clark
- Full board accommodation @ Silver Salmon Creek Lodge (excl. drinks)
- All international flights
- Fees for passport, visa, immunisations and insurance
- Airport pick up and drop off at Anchorage Airport
- Tips
- Lunch and dinner during your stay in Anchorage
- Any additional nights accommodation/meals/beverages (alcoholic & non-alcoholic) outside of dates
- Laundry, phone calls and any other items of personal nature
- A D-SLR and a back up camera if you have one
- Lenses: 300mm, 400mm or 500mm + wide angle and 100-400mm or 70-200mm with a range converters (1.4x, 1.7x, 2.0x) will all be good for the trip
- NOTE: We now have extensive experience on all our safari destinations working with the Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens and we have decided that this very sharp, light weight super telephoto lens should be our go to lens to be in combination with shorter lenses for this trip
It is hard to predict the weather at this time of the year. In Lake Clark the temperatures will be between 7˚C and 20˚C and about 19 hours of daylight.
We recommend the following outerwear: long-sleeved shirt, jeans/slacks, warm hat & gloves, insulated boots, long underwear, Windbreaker or similar jacket, wool sweater or Fibrefill vest, winter coat and rain gear. Waterproof, knee-high boots will be supplied at the lodges where we will be staying.
We highly recommend travel insurance

The Lima-born, Brooklyn-based chef shares what makes Peru a culinary powerhouse.
Article continues below advertisement
Mention Peruvian food, and ceviche likely comes to mind. Yet if you've tasted one, you certainly haven't tasted them all. Peru's national dish dates back at least 500 years and comes in about as many varieties.
Consider the ceviche menu dreamt up by Lima-born chef Miguel Aguilar for his restaurant Surfish Bistro in Brooklyn, NY. Among the 10 offerings, he's especially partial to salmon anticuchos: quick-torched salmon with soy sauce, Japanese mayo, Peruvian black mint (huacatay), and leche de tigre, a blend of lime juice, garlic, ginger, and celery.
As Aguilar's creation suggests, Peruvian cuisine is truly a melting pot, with ingredients and techniques sourced over the centuries from Asia, Europe, and Africa. "It's a big universe of flavors," he says. "Every region has its own style and peculiar ingredients; food changes from town to town."
But some classics do turn up on menu after menu, like lomo saltado, which Aguilar describes as a Chinese creation adopted by Peruvians. Grilled octopus with purple corn, meanwhile, is a newer dish that's already becoming popular—and a testament to the spirit of experimentation. "There are no rules on Peruvian cuisine, and there are so many chefs proving that day by day."
Article continues below advertisement
Chef Gastón Acurio, whose award-winning Astrid & Gastón helped launch a global restaurant empire, is among the pioneers driving innovation—and earning Peru praise as the culinary capital of South America. Another is chef Rafael Piqueras of Maras at the Westin Lima Hotel. The name references a flavorful pink salt derived from Cuzco in southern Peru, and his cooking often creatively showcases native products, such as corn, quinoa, and the caviar-like cushuro.
"Lima has one of the best culinary experiences in the world," says Aguilar, "from top-ranked restaurants to the street food kiosks on any corner." He recommends starting in the capital and then eating your way across the country, from Cuzco to the Amazon to the beautiful coast.
Surfing that coastline is what Aguilar misses most about Peru: "Brooklyn is like home for me now, and I get all the ingredients I can get in Peru—fresh rocoto peppers, huacatay, and fish like paiche or fresh corvina."
Some of those ingredients make it into ceviche, which Aguilar first learned to make from his father back in Peru. He honed his skills as a line cook at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill and worked in Chicago and San Francisco for nearly two decades before opening his own restaurant (and appearing on TV cooking shows "Chopped" and "Knife Fight").
Peruvian cuisine has also evolved and expanded during the same period. Now you find Peruvian restaurants in nearly every town of the world, notes Aguilar, from London to Cape Town to Bangkok. It's all part of the dynamic growth of a cuisine with infinite possibilities.
"There's been an evolution in our gastronomy from a classic way of cooking to an eclectic way," observes Aguilar. Still, he jokes that some things, thankfully, don't change: "Ceviche and pisco is how we Peruvians roll."

If you're interested in pursuing a career in one of the helping professions, you may be curious about physical therapy schools and exactly what these educational institutions offer to their students. Today's best physical therapy programs provide students with a host of services that they may use to establish careers as occupational therapists, pediatric physical therapists, or rehabilitation therapists (among many other specialties related to the practice of physical therapy).
In fact, reputable, highly-ranked and accredited top physical therapy schools (such as universities and colleges) that offer degree programs in physical therapy are great places to build a base of knowledge, while working towards the credentials and certifications that are so important in the medical world. For this reason, many students do choose to attend a physical therapy school after learning more about these post-secondary educational facilities and all of the benefits that they offer.
Physical Therapy Schools Offer Degree Programs
To begin traveling career pathways that lead towards licensed physical therapist work, students must first get Bachelor's degrees in order to move onto Master's or doctorate level studies at physical therapy schools. While there are still some programs offering physical therapy training and education at the Bachelor's level, it is usually recommended that students pursue a more modern career pathway that includes a Master's degree and/or Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from physical therapy schools.
Therefore, getting a Bachelor's Degree is an important first step to take before attending physical therapy schools…but it is really just the beginning of a relatively long educational plan. Usually, students who pursue a physical therapy degree will opt for Bachelor of Science degrees that give them an excellent base of scientific knowledge; this type of educational plan can be a great way to prepare for a career as a physiotherapist (physiotherapist is another name for physical therapist). In Masters or doctorate programs, physical therapy schools will teach students about different aspects of clinical care, including geriatric, outpatient, spinal cord, pediatric, head injury, and other types of physiotherapy.
Physical Therapy Schools May Offer Hands-on Training That Is Invaluable
Learning how to care for patients is always the number one priority in the field of physical therapy, and hands-on training with patients is really one of the key benefits to attending physical therapy schools. While not every physical therapy school will offer practicums that put students out into the community, helping patients at local clinics and hospitals, plenty of accredited colleges and universities do offer this type of educational service. Students will learn how to care for a variety of patients from all walks of life, and they will learn to ease suffering and to optimize movement potential in patients of all ages. By undergoing practicums in a range of clinical care settings, students will get the "real-life" training they need to do their jobs well when they embark on paying careers as physical therapists. To get the benefit of these types of educational practicum modules, students should choose physical therapy schools carefully; looking for highly-ranked schools that offer in-depth practicum courses will always be a wise choice.
Physical Therapy Schools May Offer Thesis-Based Programs
Certain physical therapy schools will offer degree programs with thesis options; this type of educational setup may be appealing to some post-graduate students. These types of thesis-based programs may be structured around specific disciplines of rehabilitation science and occupational therapy. Students who want to go deeper into the study of these physical therapy subjects will likely benefit from the detailed format that thesis-based studies provide. Theses written for physical therapy schools will be detailed documents that are created by students to support their desire for certification (or a university degree) in the field of physical therapy. For students who are interested in research and scientific study related to administering better clinical care, the thesis option found at some physical therapy schools can be quite a good fit in an academic sense.
Physical Therapy Schools Teach Team Medicine
For students, the camaraderie and sense of team spirit found at good physical therapy schools can make the process of learning more enjoyable. Since medical services are often provided by teams to support patient health through a range of services, aspiring physical therapists will benefit from working with other students in workshops, practicums, and other learning modes that are common at physical therapy schools. In health care, the new paradigm shift undoubtedly points toward patient-led care, which is centered on the patient and his or her needs or wishes. Therefore, learning how to work well with others and serve the needs of patients through stellar physiotherapy and team medicine is very important, and this may be achieved through a masters or doctoral degree program earned from highly-rated physical therapy schools.
Becoming a physical therapist requires great discipline, scholastic aptitude, and emotional intelligence; after all, physical therapists work very closely with patients, helping them to improve their mobility and recover from injuries…to become a gifted physical therapist, an excellent education from physical therapist schools is a vital part of the equation. For those who are suited to this type of work, healing patients and helping them to optimize mobility through physical therapy can be extremely fulfilling and gratifying. The best therapists will devote their work lives to the service of their patients, and to alleviating suffering however they can, according to the training and education they have received at physical therapy schools.

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP OF THE SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO THE ACHEIROPOIETOS IMAGES ENEA Research Center of Frascati -- May 4 to 6, 2010
Brief Reflections regarding the International Discussion on the Most Famous Acheropite Images: Shroud-Tilma-Holy Face

To promote a wideranging scientific discussion on the recent studies relating to the chemical, physical, mechanical, historical and forensic medical aspects of the most famous acheropite images (that is, not made by human hands): the Shroud of Turin, the Tilma of Guadalupe and the Veil of Manoppello, this was the objective of the International Conference organized by ENEA at its Center for Reseach in Frascati from May 4 to 6. Around 40 scientists and scholars hailing from the United States, France, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Mexico, Israel, France, Poland, Spain and Italy shared and compared their different approaches to these scholarly disciplines.
ENEA, the Italian national agency for Energy and the New Technologies, provided this initiative with its own dedicated website - only in English- to underline the international status of the event: www.acheiropoietos.info. The conference was planned to coincide with the exhibition of the Shroud in Turin in order to take advantage of the presence in Italy of many foreign scholars.
It could seem very unique that a national public agency which occupies itself at the scientific level of energy and new technologies should dedicated a conference to these topics, on a field very complex and apparently very far from its institutional activity. Actually, this interest is to be linked to the capactiy of ENEA to reproduce in their laboratory, thanks to special excimer lasers, a coloration similar to that of the Shroud, with the same characteristics of the superficial nature of the image in relation to the cloth. The result was obtained by focusing very powerful lamps of ultraviolet light upon linen fabrics. It was a casual circumstance in that the scholars were dedicated to research relating to industrial applications. The research was published in 2008 in the American journal Applied Optics.
And it was Professor Paolo Di Lazzaro, leader of the excimer laboratory of the center of Frascati to serve as chairman of the international discussion that was developed along the following topics: characteristics of the images; hypothoses on the formation of the images; dating of the images; elaboration of the images; new instruments of analysis; restoration and conservation; comparison of the different acheropite images, historical aspects; forensic medical aspects.
Most of the papers given at the conference had to do with the Shroud, with a healthy number of scholars, especially American, among whom was Diana Fulbright the director of the Center for Research on the Shroud of Richmond, Virginia. Much interest was generated by talks regarding forensic medical aspects, but the general impression given is that the discussion still revolved either directly or indirectly around the controversy surrounding the dating of the cloth by the Carbon 14 method, carried out in 1988 with the examination of three different samples at three different laboratories in Zurich, Oxford, and Arizona, and thus on the influence of environmental factors on the contamination of the cloth of Turin.
In his paper Jose Carlos Esprella Godinez, member of the Mexican Center for the Study of the Shroud, described the acheropite characteristics of the Tilma of Guadalupe, furnishing elements to insert the miracle in the context of the history of Christianity in Mexico.
There was much interest shown in the Holy Face especially because of the images, some of very high quality and very moving, which were projected a number of times on the large screen.
The extraordinary spread of the Holy Face in the last few years and the ever more frequent comparison with the more famous Shroud, found in the initiative organized by ENEA an implicit recognition of the scientific validity of the studies which have been carried out so far by a small number of reseachers, who had the chance to describe their theories before an international audience of recognized scholars.
Professor Heinrich Pfeiffer, pioneer of studies on the Holy Face, went deeply into the history of art regarding the theme of the acheropite, emphasizing the most noted sacred images of antiquity, the Mandylion of Edessa and the image from Kamulia (or Camulliana). These images would correspond to the Shroud and the Veronica (Holy Face).
Some inexplicable peculiarities of the veil were illustrated by Professor Giulio Fanti from the University of Padua. Professor Fanti is a well known expert on the Shroud who for some years has become more acquainted with the Veil of Manoppello.
But the most interesting talks, also because of their novelty, were probably those by the three Polish university instructors, recently coming to know the Holy Face. Zbigniew Treppa and Karolyna Aszyk, instructors of semeiotics of images at the University of Danzig, illustrated their studies on the suprising mutability of the image by emphasizing in particular the mouth which demonstrates with greater evidence their reflections on the mutability of the image, relating in particular to the teeth. Their thesis was more amply detailed in a book which came out last year in Poland with the title "Fotografia z Manoppello".
Prof. Treppa, Prof. Aszyk, and Prof. Jaworski from PolandA significant contribution came from Jan S. Jaworski professor of chemistry at the University of Warsaw who has supported and documented the thesis that the fabric on which the Holy Face appears is that of marine byssus and that it is to the peculiar properties of byssus that the extraordinary transparency of the Veil can be attributed.
I recall that the hypothesis of marine byssus was supported on September 1, 2004 by Chiara Vigo, a native of the island of Sant'Antioco in Sardinia, who is held to be the last expert of this ancient textile art still living in the Mediterranean area. As is known, the extraordinary uniqueness of this most unique fabric, which derives from a large mollusk (pinna nobilis), is that it can be dyed but that it is not possible to paint upon it. The idea that it might be marine byssus came from Sister Blandina, after having held by chance between her fingers some fibers from shells coming from the Adriatic Sea. The research which followed and the involvement of Chiara Vigo is owed to the German journalist and writer Paul Badde.
Roberto Falcinelli, roman photographer, detailed the results of his own research on the dating of the Opusculum of Jacopo Grimaldi, preserved in the Vatican, which documents how the Veronica appeared before its disappearance. As is known, the images (of the Opusculum) show the face of Christ with eyes open, contrary to the changed iconographic model imposed in the 1600's.
In the "Poster Session" Sr. Blandina Paschalis Schloemer and Professor Andreas Resch presented a thorough documentation to demonstrate that the Holy Face and the Face of the Shroud can be superimposed one upon the other. Their documentation was shared during the three days with the various scholars present who were able to ask for clarifications and to acquaint themselves with the techniques used by Sr. Blandina and Professor Resch. On the last day of the workshop a russian icon of the Mandylion of Edessa was also displayed. This icon, dating from the 1700's, calls to mind the Holy Face of Manoppello.
In closing the workshop, Professor Di Lazzaro, after referring to the lengthy course of scientific data, graphics, formulae and statistical tables, could not hide his own "emotion for the fantastic experience of coordinating an international workshop on these extraordinary images" which favors a greater dialog in the international scientific community involved in these studies.
Certainly the discussion on these topics will continue for a long time, but Frascati will remain an event probably without precedent, as the tendency has been to concentrate moments of study and of discussion to that of a single holy image. An event organized in a serious way, not open to the public, in order to avoid the simplifications and the easy sensationalism of the mass media, which neither the faith nor science need.

Sekou Diakite has released an alpha version of a KDE Look and Feel for Java. This is an interesting step forward in Linux/Unix desktop integration since Java applications can now use the KDE/Qt libraries for drawing Java widgets and even directly use existing KDE widgets such as the file or color choosers. See the webpage for further details of this accomplishment including future plans and, of course, screenshots.
Last November, KDE 3.5.0 was released. Since then, many users have been waiting for the next big steps. While most of the core developers are working on the first iterations of KDE 4, the KDE 3 developer platform is more vital than ever, resulting in new and exciting applications. "All About the Apps" puts the spotlight on the classics of KDE's applications as well as new and promising applications from the KDE community that can make your KDE desktop more productive.
The fourth edition and last of the KDE 3.5 series of This Month in SVN is now ready for consumption. This month looks at new artwork, Kopete webcam support, KMail improvements and KDE EDU as well as a glimpse at KOffice. Next issues will be looking at KDE4 development. Get it while it's hot!
Tom Chance discusses the developments happening in KDE 4 on Newsforge.
The dust has yet to settle after the XFree86->X.org migration and the future of the defacto Linux windowing system is still unclear.
Jon Smirl has written an extremely interesting article describing the current problems of the X.org server and overviews related projects.
After a few months of quiet activity, the Appeal desktop project has rolled out a new project website that documents what everyone has been up to and discussing. Since the the last public announcement many things have occurred, including another Appeal meeting being held in Germany.
It looks like the first part of my KDE 3.5 previews was extremely popular. Much more than I could ever anticipated. I even got Slashdotted. Anyway, here is the second part of the look into the KDE's near future. Enjoy the tour!
Every year, during the summer holidays, I regularly download the source code of the new version of KDE desktop that's in the works and compile it, test it and help with translation into Slovenian language. This year I've decided to also post previews of the development version of KDE on my blog. I'll try to put up as many screenshots as possible so that everyone can see what is coming in the future.
Inveneo, a San Francisco non-profit, together with ActionAid, an international agency whose aim is to fight poverty worldwide, have installed their first rugged Linux desktop systems in western Uganda.
Administrators and power users will be pleased to note that the text of the Locking down KDE with Kiosk Mode article as featured in newly published book Linux Desktop Hacks is available for reading online. Written by our very own Dot editor and KDE hacker Jonathan Riddell, this article takes you through basic Kiosk configuration using the Kiosk Admin Tool to lock down KDE.

A NPC (Non-Player Character) is any in-game character that is not controlled by a player.
There are four different main types of NPCs in Hordes.io:
- Monster: Monsters are AI controlled creatures that roam the lands in Hordes.io. They are hostile to all player, except to other NPCs
- Monster Knight: Monsters with a Metal Helmet. Lower spawn rate than normal monsters. Higher experience, yield, and stats than normal monsters (About x8 experience).
- Golden Knight: Monsters with a Golden Helmet. Lower spawn rate than monster knights. Higher experience, yield, and stats than monster knights (About x25 experience).
- Golden King: Monsters with a Golden Crown. Lower spawn rate than golden knights. Higher experience, yield, and stats than golden knights (About x100 experience).
- Warden: Wardens are AI controlled fighters that protect the bases of each faction in Hordes.io. There are 2 on every side of each Spawnpoint, which instant-kill any other-faction players that come near. Each warden is level 100, making them very hard to kill.
- Faction Boss: The Faction bosses are the most powerful (level 10 NPC) AI controlled fighters of each faction in Hordes.io, the Vanguard King and Bloodlust Leader.
- Trader: A vendor NPC that allows players to trade in their items for gold. Higher level items sell for more gold.

After a gentler time over December, many equestrians are getting their horses fit and ready for the 2017 season. Whether your goals are to get your horse up to full fitness after a layoff period, or to achieve competition ambitions in your favourite discipline, now is the time to draw up a plan!
Preplanning helps everyone reach their goals; and having a staggered process of increasing workload and pressure, on your equine friend means that there is a lower risk of accidents or injuries to both parties.
This also means a higher chance of optimum success!
So why not take some time to draw up a work plan for 2017?
By being organised you can build duration, intensity and technical challenges alongside spreading out your lessons and competitions!
Courtesy of Peaksports.com here are some tips to get you started –
*Set goals that help you focus on the processes needed for successful execution; mini goals or 'process' goals.
*Process goals help an athlete dial in their focus on the relevant tasks needed for success in competition. Therefore, in training, align your mindset to focus on the process goals.
*Different process goals can be set for each discipline. (E.g. – an improved reaction time for XC starts or a straighter dressage centre line).
*Focusing on your process goals should be a priority for you during a training session.
*Setting process goals during practice will also help you improve focus during your practice and ultimately in competition so you can perform your best.
*You also want to set goals to improve your mental game. We know for certain that if your mind is getting in the way of your performance, it doesn't matter how much you train the physical aspects of your game!
Fuel in the tank
Remember that achieving optimum equine body condition and fitness means that your exercise and feeding programme must go hand in hand. Hard-working horses require the condition and the 'fuel in the tank' to perform. Offering a balanced diet is essential to every equine's health and well-being alongside the combination of sufficient and correct exercise.
Pure Distilled MSM Supplement from Scientific Nutritional Products is a constituent of vitamins, co-enzymes and antioxidants, good health and peak fitness and ideal to be fed during the fittening process.
Supplementing the diet with MSM helps to maintain good health and peak equine fitness – ideal for times when more pressure is being applied, such as getting your horses fit!
Vits & Mins
The busy, hard working equine also requires a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals, whether your goal is long hacks in the countryside or achieving your Dressage or Jumping goals, the same principle applies!
Vitamins and minerals play a multitude of roles within the body including supporting the immune system, bone and teeth structure, benefiting eyesight and assisting nerve and muscle functioning. Including a vitamin and mineral supplement in the diet can be beneficial to supply the vital nutrients in the diet!

Tend not to opt for the initial lawyer you afflict find in the device book or on the internet. Be sure that you research attorneys thoroughly to protect yourself from building a bad decision. You should ask people you realize when they can recommend a good lawyer.
A specialty lawyer may cost more, but over time, it would probably cost less. A professional won't need to research up to a general lawyer, saving you research fees.

Why Vacuuming Is Important In Maintenance between Carpet Cleaning Intervals
Why Vacuuming Is Important In Maintenance between Carpet Cleaning Intervals
Your carpets are important to you and you want them to last a long time. One way to increase the life of your carpets is to simply vacuum them on a regular basis. Here's why you want to vacuum your carpets regularly.
Keep Away Ground in Dirt
If you don't vacuum often, the dirt can get ground into the carpets and this makes them harder to clean the next time you have a carpet cleaning done. You want to vacuum the dirt off your carpets as much as possible to keep dirt from attaching to the carpet fibers and getting ground into the fibers over time. It will be harder to get the carpets clean if there's too much ground in dirt which also promotes discoloration of the carpets too.
Removes Other Debris
Pet hairs, dead skin cells, and other debris can get into your carets as well so you want to ensure that you vacuum your carpets on a regular basis. Ideally, this should be a couple of times each week and at least once per week to ensure that your carpets are as clean as possible. You should leave shoes at the door so dirt isn't tracked into the house and onto the carpets.
Prolongs Carpet Life
By vacuuming your carpets on a regular basis you'll prolong the life of the carpet as there won't be as much dirt getting into the fibers of the carpets that you own. A regular vacuum session can keep these carpet fibers looking great which translate into better looking carpets overall. A good vacuum session grooms the fibers, removes the dirt and leaves the carpet looking fresh. By vacuuming you'll also remove loose carpet […]

As part of 3d Modelling, Analysis/Interpreting 3d Spaces module we focus on a project producing a 3d model of a cultural heritage concept. This team (Gavin, Justin and I) chose William Butler Yeats's tower (a 16th century Hiberno-Norman tower house) within the framework of an imaginary museum context exhibition that we propose to reconstruct and display this 3d modelling work as a part of the centenary of W.B. Yeats and his family acquiring and residing in 1917 at Thoor Ballylee (County Galway, Ireland). The concept itself that should take into account how visitors can experience Yeat's residence as well as its environs -of how the tower looks today- in order to be acquainted and navigated themselves into the last phase of occupation appears to be quite intriguing. Another reason for selecting this concept is due to the fact that the tower seems to be accustomed to being photographed from specific angles without much photo-documentation available from the interior, therefore, a good occasion to replicate it through connecting material from various sources (including architectural plans and writings, photographs and measurements) and much imagination where no material and photos exist.
(Photo: Courtesy of Gavin Macallister)
Our attempts finding material generally was quite tricky. We visited the National Library of Ireland and Yeat's collection seeking for William A. Scott's architectural drawings of the reconstruction in 1919 and photos from the interior of the Ballylee castle but in vain. Some of the given negative slides were missing and were protected by copyright anyway so they required a special request for capturing and re-use the sources. We decided, therefore, to visit the Irish Architectural Archive that is located in Dublin where we found photographs, old newspapers and collected records, and architectural plans from a preliminary survey for a restoration work of the architect Dermot O' Toole in 1963. We photographed all the plans drawn in tracing papers that included all the floor plans on each level of the tower, architectural sections and elevations as well as some more detailed drawings for gothic window elevations.

Renting Vs. Buying Uniforms for Your Business
Running a successful business can be quite a chore! There are so many different aspects to a business, and it can be difficult to remember all of the things that you have to maintain. One thing that doesn't need to be a hassle though is getting your company uniforms.
Depending on the type of business you run, making sure that your staff is in uniform could potentially make your business more successful than ever. Not only do company uniforms make your business and brand look more professional, but they give your customers something to remember.
There are plenty of reasons to make sure that your company implements a uniform policy, but what is the best way for you to actually acquire these uniforms?
There are two main ways to get your company uniforms handled. You can either buy your uniforms, or you can rent them. Every business is different and is going to have separate needs, but there are a couple of things to look into before you decide which way you want to go.
Renting vs. Buying Uniforms
- How many employees do you have at your location? If you have quite a few employees, it is almost better to rent your uniforms because you are able to have a laundry service take care of everything for you. If you only have a few employees, instead of renting and having someone come out to do your laundry, you can actually have your employees clean their own uniforms.
- Does your business require your uniforms to help protect your employees? If you are looking for mechanics uniforms, or chefs uniforms, it would be a good choice to rent your uniforms. If you end up tearing or burning a whole in your uniform most rental uniforms services include repairs and replacements, whereas if you are purchasing your uniforms you would have to buy a brand new one.
- What kind of security does your business require? Are you worried about the consequences of clothing with your company logo on it ending up in the wrong hands? For some businesses, this kind of mistake could jeopardize the security of your customers, your employees, and your business. If this is a concern, then consider renting your uniforms. Employees will be required to turn in their uniforms at the end of their employment.
- What is the cost that you are looking at for your company uniforms? Although there are large costs up-front, it is typically cheaper to purchase your uniforms in the long-term than renting them. You have to consider that you are leaving them in the hands of your employees though.
When it comes to deciding the best way for you to handle your uniforms, there are plenty of decisions you have to make. Once you figure out what you are looking at though, we can actually help you find the perfect uniforms for your location. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to how the uniform process works, you are more than welcome to contact us any time!

Take 10 Minutes a Day for Your Mind!
Mental health is typically shown in a very negative light in society today. Unfortunately, mental illness affects 1 in 4 people… that's right, 25% of us!
Why do we continue to turn our cheek and cast a blind eye on mental illness as a society, knowing that this issue affects so many of us? Is it the stigma? Are we afraid of what people think? How it may affect people's views of us or our jobs?
The fact is, we need to start taking our psychological health more seriously. The best way to begin doing this is by setting apart 10 minutes a day for your mind. 10 minutes is all we need to literally add years of life expectancy and to live happier and healthier lives!
During these 10 minutes, you can do a handful of different things that will help you stave off mental illness, as well as feel better each day.
Here are a few I recommend…
1. Yoga
- Yoga is not only great for your brain (due to its ability to reduce stress), it reduces cortisol levels (increased cortisol causes heart and other diseases) but it also enhances your metabolism and your muscle tone
2. Guided meditation
- Guided meditation has very similar benefits to yoga, decreased cortisol and stress levels, increased muscle tone, decreased blood pressure and lower cholesterol, as well as reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
3. Adult coloring
- Adult coloring is quickly becoming the new "it" health activity for adults as a part of healthy aging, keeping your brain active as you age reduces risk of Alzheimer's disease
4. Puzzles for your mind
- Similar to adult coloring, putting puzzles together de-stresses and relaxes your mind, as well as reduces risk of Alzheimer's disease
5. Walk
- Walking is one of the single healthiest activities you can partake in for your mind! This allows you time to refocus, think and organize your day and de-stresses you. Similar to yoga, walking greatly reduces cortisol levels. Aim to walk 30 minutes each day!
Mix these up throughout the week and you'll be helping your mind and body feel the best it's ever felt and add healthy years onto your life!

This Valentine's Day, take a walk for heart health!
One of the single best ways to enhance your heart health is by walking 30 minutes a day on top of what you would typically walk. Ultimately, you should aim for around 10,000 steps a day, or just under 5 miles.
This might sound like a lot of steps, but once you get moving, you'll hit it far quicker than you'd imagine!
Throughout the stresses of the day, our cortisol levels increase. Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by your adrenal glands when your body is under stress, whether physically or emotionally. This gives you that energy boost when you're in a threatening situation.
The problem is, increased coritsol levels have been directly associated with heart disease and stroke. In fact, studies have shown that individuals with high levels of cortisol are at 5 times higher risk of having a stroke or heart attack in the next 6 years!
So how do we reduce cortisol levels? Walking!
The best part is, you don't have to power or speed walk to reap these benefits, just by leisurely walking, you are significantly reducing cortisol levels and in turn, enhancing your heart's health!
So this Valentine's Day, take a nice leisurely walk alone or with a loved one and know that you're protecting your heart's future!
Happy Valentine's Day,
Matt @ InnovaU

Let's be honest, how long do you think the average person sticks with a diet?
The answer: 5 weeks.
When we all want to live happier and healthier lives and feel our best, why can we only stick with a diet plan for 5 weeks!?
The answer is simple… diets are complex. They don't let us eat what our bodies need and we inevitably end up having one "cheat day" that throws us totally off the plan.
That's why I designed The Simple Way.
Yo-yo diets and complex lifestyles are no more! All you need to do is learn the basics of how food works in your body and how to optimize that food to look and feel the best you've ever felt!
This sounds a whole lot harder than it is. I know we've all got busy lifestyles and families to take care of, and that's what's so important about living The Simple Way.
You should never have to cut out carbs or sweets or salt to live a healthy life, and in reality you don't have to! You just have to know WHICH carbs and sweets to eat. And the list of amazingly healthy and good for you carbs, sweets and more are far larger than you've ever imagined. For example, eating complex carbs is not only amazing for your heart, they give you the energy you need to power through the day, they help with digestion and optimizing your metabolism… not only that, but complex carbs help you fall asleep quicker at night and enhance your brain function.
Didn't realize a carb could be a real super food!? Now you do!
Foods like whole wheat pasta and bread, green beans, black beans, oatmeal, quinoa and more will do all of this and more for you!
The Simple Way arms you with everything you need to live happy & healthy without the stress of counting calories, having to deny your body of all the foods you crave or eat a bunch of foods you hate.
I'm happy to have you here and I'm excited to share more about The Simple Way with you!

How to Use the Fill with History Feature in Photoshop CS6
The Fill with History Feature in Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 6 is useful when you want to be selective. If you can easily select the area that you want to replace with a specific state, you can use the Fill with History feature. Suppose you don't like the sky in a particular image. You select the sky area and then add clouds by using the Clouds filter.
After you make those changes, you want to put the original sky back, but you don't want to reverse any of the other edits you performed. Just follow these steps to replace an area by using the Fill with History feature:
Click in the far-left column of the state you want to use as the source for the Fill with History function in the History panel.
For example, select the state that has the original sky.
With your current state active, use your favorite selection tools to select the area that you want to replace.
For example, if you remembered to save your original sky selection before you added clouds, you can choose Select→Load Selection and retrieve that selection.
Choose Edit→Fill and then select History from the Use pop-up menu.
Click OK to fill the selection with the image area from the selected state.

Jenney DJing: Torino Tango Festival 2014…
Super excited to say that I've been invited to DJ at Torino's festival next year. Long established as one of the most important in Italy, it's a real honour to be invited. Get ready for Torino Tango Festival 2014 !!
Un Tango… Carlitos Espinoza & Noelia Hurtado 'Sin Palabras'
The melding continues between these two wonderfully talented dancers. Like the soft caramelly consistency of a wham bar with their surprising fizzy bits complementing Saavedra's smooth lyrical melodies and Biagi's tinkly piano bits. 'Sin Palabras' which appears on the album Sus Exitos Con Duval,Heredia, Saavedra y Amor.

The Ministry of National Defense (MND) has asked the US to make reciprocal technology transfers or purchases in its arms dealings with Taiwan, a Taiwanese official said Tuesday.
Vice Minister of National Defense Hou Shou-yeh (
Noting that other government departments have consistently asked foreign suppliers to make reciprocal purchases of Taiwan products or technology transfers whenever they sign major procurement contracts, Hou said the MND will follow this practice in its future arms dealings with the US to upgrade Taiwan's defense technology and production capacity.
Meanwhile, Hou said he had smooth communications with US defense officials during the two-day Taiwan-US defense industry meeting.
"I didn't feel any pressure from the US side," Hou said, adding that in additional to face-to-face talks during the meeting, MND officials maintained smooth regular contacts with US defense authorities.
That comment came despite the blunt warning to Taiwan from a senior US defense official on Monday that Taiwan must show a commitment to its own defense -- for example, by pushing through the long-stalled US arms procurement bill -- if it expects the US to come to its defense in a cross-strait conflict.
Following the defense industry conference, Hou was scheduled to travel to a US military base yesterday to get first-hand information about Taiwan military officers receiving training there.
Hou and other MND staff members attending the conference are scheduled to wrap up their trip today.
More than 100 people took part in the conference, including Taiwan and US think tank officials and military specialists, as well as weapons researchers and military officials. The two-day meeting was sponsored by the US-Taiwan Business Council, a non-governmental organization that groups US companies with interests in Taiwan.
The two-day meeting focused on the study of the current situation of US-Taiwan military cooperation and the outlook for Taiwan's future defense needs.

Interactive mirrors are starting to get lift off and one of their most important uses would be in the medical arena. People are still playing with ideas, patents and the technology behind interactive mirrors but they will happen. Some of them function like a smart board, some are using two ways mirrors and some are using smoke and mirrors to create the effect. The motivation and research are there to develop them into functional and fun items. Just a matter of time. The one featured in the video has a patent pending but it was developed in 2008 so maybe it does have a patent by now. There are instructions here to develop a magic mirror with the Raspberry Pi and Mad Science has instructions for making a magic mirror using your smartphone.

Milliyet: Eide mediated agreement to suspend drilling in EEZ
UN Secretary General Special Adviser Espen Barth Eide has mediated an agreement between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot side to avoid tensions due to natural gas exploration, Turkish newspaper Milliyet reported on Wednesday.
According to the article, at the negotiating table, Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci reaffirmed the danger for tensions to arise due to the Republic's natural gas exploration plans.
Eide, Milliyet reported, had to intervene and mediate an agreement to secure assurances from the Greek Cypriot side that they would not move forward with their plans to drill before July 31. He also had to mediate with the Turkish side, where it was agreed that the Turkish vessel 'Barbaros' would not enter into the Republic's territorial water to conduct research.
'Barbaros' was previously reported to be planning explorations off of Famagusta Bay. The ship's exploration in Cyprus' waters was also the cause of a freeze in negotiations in 2014.
Government spokesperson Nikos Christodoulides has denied the newspaper's article, saying that the Republic's energy plans will moved forward normally. He also denied that Eide mediated any such agreement.

First of all, Tuesday we're headed to Boston for PLA. If you'll be there please stop by booth 613 and say Hi. The first 1000 visitors to our booth get a spiffy Unshelved badge ribbon. And if you're hoping to buy something, may we recommend you do it earlier rather than later? At ALA we ran out of practically everything by the second day. We brought more stuff this time around, but we hate to disappoint.
Secondly, we understand that many of you prefer women's styles in your t-shirts due to your being, well, women. We are thus announcing the all-new women's fitted version of the "What happens in storytime stays in storytime" shirt, in extra-feminine purple on pink. It's in stock at the store. We've also stocked up on all sizes of the women's Book Club shirts. Come and get 'em. (Yes, we're bringing a few to PLA.)
Thirdly, we're doing a flurry of talks this spring. We're speaking at the Oklahoma Library Association in Tulsa on March 31st, the Oregon Library Association in Salem on April 6th, the Washington Library Association in Tacoma on April 20th, the Connecticut Library Association on May 10th, and the California State Library on May 17th. Phew!
Finally, everyone's asking where our new book is. We had hoped to have it ready by PLA, but life interceded. We promise we'll have it in time for ALA in June. We think it will be worth the wait.

Olivia Chow says rivals Doug Ford (open Doug Ford's poilcard) and John Tory should explain why they have not announced any plans to invest in child care.
"I have a commitment to create at least 3,000 high-quality child care (spaces) in the upcoming years. Mr. Ford and Mr. Tory: how come you're not putting one penny or one nickel onto a child-care platform?" she said Thursday.
"By not investing any money, you are saying to the families that are desperately waiting for good, high-quality child care that they have to wait for years and years longer.'
Chow appeared at the Free Times Cafe on College St. to herald endorsements from 61 prominent women, some of whom had already announced their support. The list includes authors Naomi Klein and Sheila Heti, councillors Sarah Doucette (open Sarah Doucette's poilcard), Paula Fletcher (open Paula Fletcher's poilcard) and Janet Davis (open Janet Davis's poilcard), filmmaker Deepa Mehta, various academics and activists, and Shirley Douglas, the actor and daughter of late NDP leader Tommy Douglas.
Polls suggest Chow's early advantage among female voters has evaporated entirely. Tory now holds a wide lead among both men and women.
Chow is the only leading candidate with any child-care policy, but she did not release it until the end of September, more than six months into her campaign. Asked why, she said, "I always want to leave the best to last."
Chow's appearance coincided with the Wednesday release of an attack ad that calls Tory "out of touch with women." The ad was released by a group calling itself Citizens for a Progressive Toronto — which is backed by unions that support Chow: the United Steelworkers, United Food and Commercial Workers, Unifor and the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
Chow said she was not at all involved in the ad and learned of it only after it was publicized.
Tory said he is focusing on his "positive message" about "bringing people together."
"I think any time these kind of shadowy organizations come forward, you have to wonder what that's all about," Tory said Thursday. "It does again smack of U.S.-style Tea Party politics. Whatever side of the spectrum it comes from, it's that kind of politics. I'm proud to stand on my record."
