The DSP (24576khz) feeds its clock / 12 through to the SMP (2048khz). The clock divider setting further divides the clock by 2, 4, 8, or 16. Since 8 and 16 are not cleanly divislbe by 12, the SMP cycle count glitches out and seems to take 10 and 2 clocks instead of 8 or 16. This can on real hardware either cause the SMP to run very slowly, or more likely, crash the SMP completely until reset. What's even stranger is the timers aren't affected by this. They still clock by 2, 4, 8, or 16. Note that technically I could divide my own clock counters by 24 and reduce these to {1,2,5,10} and {1,2,4,8}, I instead chose to divide by 12 to better illustrate this hardware issue and better model that the SMP clock runs at 2048khz and not 1024khz. Further, note that things aren't 100% perfect yet. This seems to throw off some tests, such as blargg's `test_timer_speed`. I can't tell how far off I am because blargg's test tragically doesn't print out fail values. But you can see the improvements in that higan is now passing all of Revenant's tests that were obviously completely wrong before.16f73630

Animals on Safari
"All aboard the Safari Tour!"
Snake slithered on board the bus. "How much isss a ticket?" He hissed. "Ten leaves or a steak," said Lion from the driver's seat. "I could give you twenty bladessss of grassssss?" said Snake. Lion nodded, and put the ticket in Snake's mouth. Snake snuck to the back of the bus, and sat next to Crocodile.
When everyone was seated, Giraffe began. "Good morning my dear friends, and welcome to the first ever Safari Tour! I'm your tour guide, Giraffe, and I shall be looking after you on this fine day," said Giraffe's head from outside the window.
"Please remain seated at all times, and keep your arms and legs firmly inside the vehicle. If you've got them," he added, for Snake's benefit.
"And please remember not to feed the humans. They have been known to be vicious when approached."
And off they went! The Safari Park was spectacular! There were palm trees and a lovely cool pond, and lots of exotic creatures. The animals in the tour bus went "ooh!" and "aah!" as they looked around.
"If you look to your right, you'll see a family of humans sitting at what they call a table. The male demands hot beverages from the human in a funny hat, and Funny Hat Human must give them to him."
There were several murmurs on the bus. Monkey got his camera out and started taking pictures of the café.
"And if you look straight ahead, you'll see a big building that they call a museum - It's where they look at old bones" chuckled Giraffe.
"Aha! And here we have the more developed species, known as Children. See how they are similar to Monkey in the way that they swing back and forth on their playgrounds? They are the future of their species, I'm telling you!"
Now here the animals could relate. They had a great time watching the children running, and playing, and rolling down the hills. The animals wanted to join in, but did as they were told and stayed on the bus.
"And so concludes our tour!" said Giraffe when they had gone all around the park. "If you have any questions, please speak to me when the bus stops, and don't forget your free T-Shirt on the way out. We hope you enjoyed your time with Safari Tours, and look forward to seeing you again!"

Product Description:
Sculptris is an elegant, powerful and yet easy to use 3D sculpting software, allowing the artist in you to simply focus on creating amazing 3D artwork. Gone are the technical and often tedious constraints typically associated with digital art.
If you're new to the world of digital sculpting, Sculptris is the ideal ground on which to get started. If on the other hand you're experienced in CG, what you will find in Sculptris is a blazingly fast way to realize your concepts.
It's intuitive, fun and user friendly, so you can focus as an artist on pure creativity.
What's more, the skills you learn with Sculptris directly translate to ZBrush. The models that you create with Sculptris can even be sent to ZBrush with the click of a button using the GoZ™ functionality!
Since releasing our award-winning ZBrush more than a decade ago, Pixologic has become recognized for bringing ground-breaking innovations into the world of digital art.
ZBrush is the most widely-used digital sculpting application in today's market and is the industry Standard. When you're ready to take your Sculptris creations to the next level for detailing, rendering and integration into even the largest of projects, we welcome you to ZBrush with its host of robust, unique and revolutionary tools.
Sculptris from Pixologic, the makers of Zbrush, is a 3D sculpting program with a simplified interface and focused toolset robust enough to create high quality 3d models that can be further refined with Zbrush. I love Zbrush but when it comes to sculpting it can be quite a challenge to deal with Zbrush's complex interface. Pixologic has simplified this by creating Sculptris which is also of benefit to those who do not wish to pay the $600+ for Zbrush.
Your toolset includes smooth, inflate, pinch, rotate, flatten and other actions. You can increase the size and strength of your brush and symmetry allows anything you do to the object to be done on both sides at the same time. Chances are you already know all this. What you really want to know is how Sculptris stacks up to the rest, is it easy to use and are there any issues.
The interface is very easy to use and you can paint/texture the model directly in Sculptris. What I really love about Sculptris is how easy it is to use with a Wacom Tablet. I couldn't do that very well with Zbrush. Painting and texturing is about as easy and self explanatory as it can get. A stark contrast from Zbrush's complexity. I've experimented with every 3d sculpting package as well as Blender's sculpt tools and Sculptris is the easiest to use and with Wacom accessibility it's a breeze to model.
One of the things I'd like to see included with Sculptris and other 3D modeling programs is a much greater stock library of basic models to start sculpting from.
I encourage you to view image galleries of sculpted 3d models not just from Sculptris but from other tools as well. Artists have done some amazing stuff.
If you are new to 3d digital sculpting then I would recommend picking up a good book or find some good Youtube videos on clay sculpting before you start creating your masterpieces. One of the reasons I can jump in and create professional looking models is because I've had experience with clay sculpting in the past. – Written by: Richard Green

3-megapixel camera with VGA video recording. Syncs well with PCs. FM radio.
Mediocre voice quality. Lacks a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
Bottom Line
The Nokia 5610 XPressMusic is T-Mobile's best camera phone, even though it's marketed as a music-centric device.
Yes, T-Mobile's Nokia 5610 XPressMusic does feature a solid music player and FM radio. But it's also a good choice for shutterbugs, thanks to its 3.2-megapixel camera and VGA video recordingthe best that any phone in T-Mobile's lineup offers.
Similar Products
With a slider form factor, the 5610 is a chunkier (1.9 by 3.9 by 7 inches, 3.9 ounces) follow-up to Nokia's svelte little 5310, a candy barstyle phone that's one of the carrier's prettiest handsets. The 5610 has a big 2.2-inch 320-by-240-pixel screen on top, with soft keys, a four-way navigation button, and an unusual sliding music control (more on that later) below the display. Sliding up the screen reveals a comfortable backlit keypad. The camera is on the back, and volume and camera keys are on the side. You need to take off the back panel but not remove the battery to insert a microSD memory card. The phone comes with a 1GB card, but our 8GB SanDisk card also worked fine.
Voice performance isn't great; the 5310 is a better-sounding phone. I heard a noticeable hiss behind calls, and the 5610's speakerphone is disappointingly quiet, even at top volume. Reception was only so-so. Transmissions, heard on the other end, lacked background noise (which is good) but sounded hollow with echoes at times. Voice dialing is available, but it wasn't very accurate on my tests. The phone works with 2.5mm (rather than the standard 3.5mm) wired headsets and both mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets, though I heard pops and clicks when using a Plantronics Pulsar 590 stereo headset. Battery life, at 8 hours 30 minutes of talk time on our tests, isn't stellar for a quad-band GSM phone.
Despite the musical model name, the standout feature here is the camera, with its better-than-usual flash and virtual autofocus system. To be clear, this isn't the best 3.2MP camera there is: It takes bright photos that are a bit overexposed, and there's a bit of blur in low light. But it's the best you'll find on a T-Mobile handsetunless you spring for an expensive unlocked phone. The camera did achieve around 900 lines of resolution on our tests, which is a very good result for a camera phone. I'm also charged up about the 640-by-480, 15-frame-per-second movie recording mode, which took smooth but slightly wobbly videos.
The 5610 uses Nokia's new media player, with a twist. The aforementioned sliding button, just below the screen, lets you flip quickly and easily between the music player, the phone's home screen, and the FM radio. The radio worked well, finding local stations and playing them through a wired headset. The music player syncs with Windows Media Player or Nokia's own PC software, playing WMA, unprotected AAC, and MP3 files loudly and clearly over the built-in speaker or a wired headset. It also works with stereo Bluetooth headsets, but we got hollow sound quality and occasional popping with our Plantronics 590 headset. We wouldn't recommend the 5610 as a video player: iPod-formatted videos at 30 frames per second were jerky and skipped frames. A 3GP-format video at 15 fps played smoothly.
Unfortunately, Nokia made one mistake: the aforementioned 2.5mm headset jack, which, of course, doesn't take standard, 3.5mm music headphones. An included adapter adds a wired remote and mic, but that's an extra, unnecessary piece.
I was happy to see that the 5610 is fully compatible with Nokia's PC Suite, a free Windows program that lets you sync your contacts and calendars from Outlook and transfer music, videos, and photos to and from your phone using the included USB cable. You can also do all of this over Bluetooth, including transferring files at an unusually high speed of about 115 kilobits per second (Kbps). The 5610 also works as a modem for your PC, but T-Mobile's slow EDGE network is an unattractive way to access the Net in the age of 3G.
Internet features are typical for a T-Mobile feature phone, with one welcome change. On most recent phones, such as the Nokia 6263, T-Mobile has hidden the WAP browser, replacing it with an obnoxious Java application that only lets you get to T-Mobile's walled garden of sponsored services. That T-Zones application is still on the 5610, but you can also easily get to the rest of the world of WAP. The browser does try to tackle and display full Web pages, but succeeds only some of the time.
Also standard are the 5610's OZ IM and e-mail applications. The IM app lets you access AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo! but doesn't display full AOL buddy lists. The e-mail app gives you attractively formatted, text-only messages from AIM, AOL, Gmail, Yahoo!, and a few other ISPs. As on other T-Mobile feature phones, though, third-party Java applications are blocked from accessing the Internet, so you can't load Opera Mini or any Google or Yahoo! apps.
The Nokia 5610 XPressMusic is a decent device for music, and it's a good choice for those looking to take decent photos or record videos with an inexpensive, T-Mobile phone. If photos aren't a priority, you should check out the Nokia 5310 instead. It's cuter and sleeker, and it has many similar features and somewhat better voice quality than the 5610.

The purpose of this toolkit is to educate employers and career/technical and adult education providers on the importance of building employer-educator partnerships. These partnerships can help educators target their programs to local employment needs, and they can help employers ensure there is a supply of skilled workers available to fill vacant positions.
This toolkit was developed to offer insight and suggestions on strengthening existing regional workforce funder collaboratives, as well as information on creating new collaboratives. The toolkit has information on:
- The overall purpose and power of regional workforce funder collaboratives;
- The strength of sector initiatives and the role that the collaboratives play in strengthening these initiatives;
- Practical tips on starting, sustaining, evaluating, and growing a funder collaborative; and,
- Tips on how ...
The toolkit is designed to provide local adult education programs with the tools required to assist students successfully transition from adult basic education (ABE) programs to secondary education and/or the labor market. The information in the toolkit helps adult education providers to gauge local labor markets and shape their programs to prepare students for real opportunities.
Student Success Centers organize a State's community colleges around common action to accelerate their efforts to improve student persistence and completion. One of the goals of a Center is to bring synergy between education programs and student success initiatives, such as Career Pathways. The toolkit is designed to reduce the learning curve and accelerate the time by which new Student Success Centers launch their operations.
This toolkit collects information about the supportive policies in place in states involved in the Pathways to Prosperity Network, that are receiving technical assistance in setting up grades 9-14 pathways systems. Relevant policy elements and strategies are catalogued with the aim of developing a policy set that can be used to implement Career Pathways programs in additional states.
The Alliance for Quality Career Pathways (the Alliance/AQCP) developed this framework to help State and local partnerships strengthen their existing Career Pathways systems or build new ones. This toolkit was developed to be used in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor's Career Pathways Toolkit: Six Key Elements for Success – in the words of the authors, "the Six Key Elements help partners build systems, and the AQCP framework helps...
Work-based learning gives students the opportunity to identify abilities and explore career interests, understand the link between school and work, and provide motivation to graduate from high school and pursue postsecondary education. Employers benefit from a short-term infusion of labor that can help with seasonal or "back burner" projects, recruiting a more skilled and better prepared workforce, and building supervisory and leadership skills within the organization.
Jobs for the Future developed this toolkit as a supplement to the U.S. Department of Labor's Career Pathways Toolkit: Six Key Elements for Success. The document focuses on the different roles and activities that workforce system participants - Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs), One-Stop Career Centers, and service providers - can assume. This toolkit includes strategies for these systems to partner with others in developing and implementing successful Career Pathways projects. ...
The toolkit is designed to provide State adult education administrators and stakeholders with guidance on developing policies and practices that support low-skilled adults' transition from adult basic education (ABE) to postsecondary education or employment.
This toolkit guides secondary educators and administrators through the process of developing Programs of Study to prepare youth for in-demand occupations. A Program of Study is a sequence of instruction available within a particular school district that combines coursework, co-curricular activities, worksite learning, service learning, and other learning experiences to prepare students for a career.

If your pending divorce involves significant assets, then coming to a fair division of matrimonial property will require careful analysis. Alberta's Matrimonial Property Act states simply enough that matrimonial property shall be divided equally between the spouses. The reality, though, is that reaching a fair and comprehensive agreement often requires special consideration of complex assets, and the idea of a 50-50 split is only a starting point.
Depending on the circumstances, matrimonial property may include complex assets such as businesses, shared bank accounts, commercial property, residential property, stock incentives, non-registered investments, RRSPs and pensions. Any existing debts, including the tax implications of property division, should also be considered.
In light of these matters, it is important not only to have the advice and guidance of a property division lawyer, but also a lawyer who can assess how particular ways of dividing matrimonial property could affect your estate plan.
When negotiating a fair division of property, it may be appropriate for one party to waive his or her rights to certain assets in exchange for a larger share of another asset. It is also important to determine whether any property should be excluded from division. This kind of exclusion may apply to an asset that was owned by one party prior to marriage and was never mingled with the other party's property, or a cohabitation agreement or prenuptial agreement may state that certain items of property should not be divided.
The lawyers of Kirk Montoute LLP help divorcing spouses reach fair and lasting divorce agreements. We are also a full-service wills and estates law firm and are prepared to protect our clients' interests in the short and long terms.
For more on how divorce could affect your estate, please see our previous post, "Important to update your estate plan after divorce."

In a previous post we considered how God designed the Church to function as a Body in an interdependent and unified way which means that even budgets become a process of Body Life. For this process to succeed, leaders need to foster the right kind of environment.
Foster a Culture of Interdependence even when doing a budget.
As a leader, you should not try to do it all and then merely present "your" agenda to other ministry leaders. Coming with a personal agenda is a quick way to shut down the exchange of ideas and input from others.
Trust people to be involved while at the same time providing some guidelines or parameters to be followed in the process. For example, you might set the expectation of praying before and during any meetings you might have with them. You might require them to have consulted team members about needs and goals so they too can be a part of the process. You might set the fulfillment of God's purposes for your church as the standard against which they should measure any proposals.
And, don't assume people know how to work together in being a part of a process for developing a budget. Provide training or orientation for at least team leaders.
Question #1: What parameters should you have in place that will guide the process, not dictate the outcome?
Foster a Context for Unity.
Always keep in front of people the objective of working for the good of the whole toward God's purposes. No ministry should be seen as an island to itself or more or less important. That doesn't necessarily mean all will get an equal share of the budget but rather that each will be provided with what is needed for all to serve effectively. When no one ministry area is elevated or isolated, working together on the budget becomes less about competition and more about what is best for everyone.
Undoubtedly there will be some differences of opinion on how much should be allocated to different areas. But, when the budget is put in the context of God's purposes and the common good, it strips people of being able to fight out of entitlement. There is a "Due North" or a focal point toward which all disagreements must be drawn. As you head in that direction, all the differences taken into consideration tend to yield a better end result.
To Read: Let All Be Harmonious
Question #2: What specifically can you do to keep the focus on the bigger picture?
Foster a Climate of Safety in Sharing.
People need to feel free to express their opinions without fear of reprisal, ridicule, or being ignored. Everybody's contribution to the process must be desired and valued — no exceptions. Yes, this includes that person you would rather avoid because you know he/she will question or debate almost everything you are working toward. Let that person know you value his/her input and will take it into consideration, along with everyone else's input, in finalizing the budget.
To Read: All Sorts of People in the Church
To avoid people feeling threatened or less valued if their suggestions are not implemented, make sure you have prayed about it and have valid reasons for going in a different direction that you are ready and willing to explain. You do not want to shut people down for future input feeling like their input didn't matter so why bother sharing what they think in the future.
Also, be sure to express genuine appreciation and gratitude for people's involvement and input in the process.
Question #3: What proactive measures can you take to foster a safe environment?
TO DO: Take some time to think through the 3 questions in this post. Then share what you have done or perhaps will do in a comment so we can learn from one another.

Texas Comptroller Eyes Governor's Race.
Texas Comptroller Eyes Governor's Race.
November 12, 2004
The America's Intelligence Wire
Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn's reputation as a watchdog for the health and education of Texas children is summed up in a needlepoint decoration in her office: "One Ticked Off Grandma." Strayhorn may try to add another job to her resume _ governor.
"People are very directly asking me to run for governor, and I'm listening," said the 64-year-old Strayhorn, who regularly takes aim at Gov. Rick Perry, a fellow Republican.
Strayhorn's attacks on Perry and his policies _ including state cuts to health care and the failure to devise a new method for funding public schools _ routinely make headlines. She has accused Perry of being behind the Texas Legislature's efforts to strip her state agency of some of its high-profile duties.
Said Kathy Walt, a spokeswoman for Perry: "Her paranoia is amazing."
The governor typically avoids personally returning Strayhorn's political volleys and won't publicly discuss the 2006 election, saying it's too early. Republican U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison is another possible primary Republican challenger.
Strayhorn _ a proud grandmother of five girls and mother of four grown sons, two of whom serve in the Bush administration _ shrugs off suggestions that she would have a tough time defeating Perry.
"I'm never going to kamikaze," she said. "But I don't mind winnable risks."
A fast talker with a Texas twang, Strayhorn's booming voice belies her 5-foot-1 stature. She can boast about her granddaughters, reel off political jabs and crack jokes at a rapid-fire pace.
Her son, Austin attorney Brad McClellan, remembers how his then-divorced mother got him and his brothers ready for school in the morning before tending to her duties as Austin mayor.
"People always wonder why we walk fast and talk fast. I don't know if it's an acquired trait or genetics," he said. "She could give us a one-hour lecture in five minutes."
Her son Scott McClellan is a White House press secretary, and another son, Dr. Mark McClellan, is administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Twins Dudley and Brad are lawyers.
A former conservative Democrat, Strayhorn served nonpartisan posts on the Austin school board and three terms as Austin mayor _ winning her first term as mayor against nine men in 1977 _ before switching parties and running unsuccessfully for Congress as a Republican in 1986.
"I don't like labels. I guess if I had to label myself I'd call myself an 'activist, populist Republican.' I care about people. I care passionately about education. I care about health care. I care about paychecks and jobs, and they all interconnect," said Strayhorn, a former high school civics and history teacher.
Strayhorn often credits her strong-willed persona to her late father, Page Keeton, a longtime dean of the University of Texas law school.
"Dad also told me something from a very early age, he said, 'Carole, if you don't have somebody mad at you, you probably haven't done anything.' " she said. "So I remember that often, lately."

Welcome to the Open Forum, hosted by Kotaku's reader-run blog,TAY. Feel free to join in the topic discussion, talk about anything here, or check out the other articles on TAY, AniTAY and TAYClassic. Is this is your first time on TAY? Then scope out this TAYTorial!
Hello! What's good, TAY? How is everyone?
There's an Animal Crossing direct today. What new cards will be revealed and updated features to New Leaf will be made? How will Nintendo try to lure me back to my forsaken town (Isabelle hasn't done anything in my absence, I'm sure).
This is cruel because what I really want is a new Animal Crossing entry. The good thing about the series is that it can go years without another, and that way I won't get bored. But it's been over three at this point, and it's time. It's time for the new tools of Happy Home Designer to be put into the next entry. It's time for a new life and a new town, where I can live happily for months.
And then, it'd be time to abandon that place like I do all the others.
I'm ready to be a terrible citizen all over again.
For today's suggested topic(s):
- The Nintendo Switch releases next March. We can hazard a guess and say there's a new Mario at launch. Zelda is slated for release. Which 5 games/series would you love to see at launch?
- Let's do the same for Sony and Microsoft. Let's pretend they both announced brand spanking new consoles. Which 5 games/series would you love to see at launch?
- Of past systems, which had the best launch title(s)?
As always, feel free to Talk Amongst Yourselves if ain't nobody got time for updates! Don't forget that the Discord Chatroom is always around too for continuing, real-time conversations. If you wanted to give an admin, author, and/or friend a shout to tell them you love them and appreciate their internet availability: You can find them on the DirecTAYry.

The Strengths of Aging and Where to Go for Health Help from those Who Care about You!
Frank Jordan reminds his legion of listeners and viewers,
"Jesus...said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
Put your faith and hope in the hands of H I M today!
Apply the five truths below and realize your strengths truly do put old on hold.
Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Gives His Thoughts on Aging and Getting Past Feeling "It's Too Late"
Often as we age many feel they are useless with no further purpose or contributions to make to family, the community or self. If you feel this way you are wrong! Age is not a disease!
You are what you want to be and these words from the famous poet beautifully tells of new opportunities, no matter how many summers and winters have contributed to the depth and wisdom of our lives:
Be positive and recognize the benefits of age as told in Psalms 92:12-15: "The righteous will flourish like a palm tree [known for long life], they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon [120' high-30' circumference]; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruits in old age; they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, "The Lord is upright; He is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."
Stars become visible only as we become seasoned citizens! You are not alone in your journey and there are people who truly care about you as an individual and child of God. Go to HIM and learn how you can make your own stars shine bright in helping and inspiring others!
Care-Givers Have Excess Stress and a Confined World - But there are Spiritual and Natural Aids to a Successful Relationship in Caring
More than 50 million people provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year. Caregiving is no longer predominantly a women's issue as men now make up 44% of the care-giving population. The average length of time spent on care-giving is about eight years, although only 46% of caregivers thought care-giving would exceed a two year period. To emphasize the changes in our society, the average person today has more living parents than children and most women spend 17 years caring for children and 18 years helping an elderly parent!
Frank Jordan on behalf of H I M has suggestions for Care-Givers taking care of parents, or others, with dementia or Alzheimer's or other chronic diseases relating to what they can do for personal stress minimization. The constancy, lack of personal time, sometimes abusive responses and guilt associated with the care almost always lead to excess stress in the Care-Giver.
Unfortunately, there often comes a time when a professional care giver or facility becomes a necessity. This is one of the most difficult decisions a family must make, but you are not alone. Seek professional counseling if you are confused or need guidance and go to H I M in prayer. Treat your loved one as you would want to be treated - we almost all will be there at some point in life!
When you feel overwhelmed from care-giving or even just from the cumulative negatives of aging, remember the advice from the Bible,
"So take a new grip with your tired hands, stand firm on your shaky legs, and mark out a straight, smooth path for your feet so that those that follow you, though weak and lame, will not fall and hurt themselves, but become strong." Hebrews 12:12
"Hymn of Promise" or "In the Bulb there is a Flower"
by Natalie Sleeth, 1986 - Hope Publishing Company
In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree;
In co-coons, a hidden promise: butter-flies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter there's a spring that waits to be,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.
There's a song in every silence, seeking word and melody;
There's a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future; what it holds a mystery,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.
In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;
In our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

Enchanting is the main way of upgrading all of your items on Cosmic Prisons. Enchanting is made possible through the use of Cosmic Energy. A list of all enchantments on Cosmic Prisons can be found here. Many different items can be enchanted, such as Pickaxes, Cell Guards, Satchels, and Armor. There are two main ways of enchanting, the Cosmic Wormhole and the Enchanter NPC which are both found inside of spawn.
Cosmic Wormhole
The Cosmic Wormhole can be found in the middle of spawn, and is used to enchant Pickaxes, Cell guards, and Satchels. You can enchant through the wormhole simply by getting the item to 100% Cosmic Energy and then throwing the item into the wormhole. When you toss your item into the wormhole, a selection of enchantments will appear above and around the outside of the Cosmic Wormhole. To select one of these enchants, simply punch towards the enchant you would like. Keep in mind, if your enchant fails you will not loose your pickaxe, you will just gain an extra level on your pickaxe and not get a enchant for that level. If you disconnect while you have an item in the wormhole, an enchant will randomly be selected out of the available enchants.
- Pickaxes
- Pickaxes can gain energy through mining, and can subsequently be enchanted with that energy. Once a pickaxe has reached a certain level you can prestige the pickaxe. More information on pickaxe prestiging can be found here.
- Satchels
- Although Satchels have custom enchants of their own, the satchel needs to be level 50+ in order to be able to apply these custom enchants. More information on Satchels can be found here.
- Cell Guards
- Cell guards have 6 main attributes, Damage, Speed, Regen, Health, Overlap and Range. All of these attributes go up to level 10, except for Overlap which goes up to level 2 and the cell guard must be level 30+ before appearing in the wormhole. The maximum level for a Cell Guard is level 40, meaning you will have to ration out which custom enchants you would like on your guard. More information on Cell Guards can be found here.
Enchantment Orbs
Enchantment orbs can give you Pickaxe or Satchel enchants. There is no energy requirements to unveil these Enchantment Orbs, and they can be tinkered for Mystery Dust of that same tier of enchant, which has a chance to give you Mystery Dust. When it comes to applying a Enchantment Orb to your pickaxe, the Enchantment Orb must meet the previous requirements to be able to apply it (i.e You cannot apply a Efficiency 3 unless your pickaxe has Efficiency 2 already and so on)). To atcually apply a Enchantment Orb to a Pickaxe or Satchel, You must get your Pickaxe or Satchel to be full of energy, throw it in the wormhole as usual, and instead of selecting a floating enchantment as usual, you will be throwing your desired Enchantment Orb into the wormhole. Both the pickaxe and the enchantment orb will combine with the percentages listed on the Enchantment Orb, and come down as either an applied enchantment or a failed enchantment.
Enchanter NPC
The Enchanter NPC, found in the back of spawn between the Cells area and the Night Club area, is your main way of enchanting Weapons and Armor. In the Enchanter NPC, you can purchase any enchantments for gear / weaponry from Simple to Legendary rarity. Godly and Energy enchantments can only be found through gkits, contrabands, KOTH, Alien Invasions, and sometimes through Lootboxes or CC's. Simple to Legendary enchantment books require energy to purchase from the Enchanter NPC
- Simple - 25,000 Energy/Book
- Uncommon - 50,000 Energy/Book
- Elite - 100,000 Energy/Book
- Ultimate - 250,000 Energy/Book
- Legendary - 500,000 Energy/Book
Enchantment Books
When you open a enchantment book, You will usually get a level 1 enchantment which will have a destroy rate and a enchant rate. The amount of energy needed to fill the enchantment book varies with tier and enchantment level. When throwing the enchant into the wormhole, the Destroy rate will be applied to the book and if the destroy rate succeeds then you will loose the enchantment book and get a enchantment page of that tier, more on that below. If the destroy rate fails you will get a leveled up book with 0 energy and the new leveled book will require more energy than previously needed to apply / enchant. When you have an enchant book that you would like to apply to a weapon or piece of armor, you can fill the enchantment book as you would to level it up, but instead of throwing the enchantment book into the wormhole, you will drag and drop the book onto the item in your inventory. When you drag and drop the enchant onto the item in your inventory, The Enchant rate will proc first, if the enchant rate succeeds, your armor / weapon will be enchanted with said enchant. If the enchant rate fails, the destroy rate will then proc on your gear, and if the destroy rate succeeds then your armor will be destroyed unless you have a white scroll on that armor.
- Note: White scrolls on Armor / Weapons only protect the item from being destroyed on enchanting, it will not prevent the item from being lost on death.
Enchantment Pages
As mentioned previously, when you fail to level up an enchantment page in the Cosmic Wormhole, you will be given a Enchantment page. These enchantment pages can be applied to their retrospective tier (i.e Simple pages can only be applied to Simple enchantmnt books and so on) To apply the Enchantment Page to the Enchantment Book, all you need to do is drag and drop the page onto the book and the percentages will change as noted on the pages.

One of the biggest questions expat teachers have when moving to a new country is, 'What is my apartment going to look like?' There are a few ways you get a house: Some schools may have you come early and pick out your own place, but I've only heard of that happening a few times… well, once. The two more common ways of doling out housing are to assign new teachers to a house or to have them move into a hotel and give them time to apartment/house hunt once they've arrived.
We've always been in the 'assigned housing' category. Which means you never quite know what you're going to get.
All of my houses have had charming and not-so-charming aspects. Because I am apparently into lists lately, I will now make a list of those:
The Dominican Republic
My First House
Charming: it was small, sunny, on a quiet street, and the first time I lived by myself
Not-so-charming: it was hotter than the fires of hell, I was kind pretty far away from the other teachers and there was something that I hated about the shower, but I can't remember what now
My Second Apartment
Charming: it had Kendra, it was large, there was an amazing breeze, great porch
Not-so-charming: it was on the 3rd floor and sometimes the electricity was out so the elevator didn't work (shut up, I know the 3rd floor isn't that far… but it only seemed to happen when I had just done a week's worth of grocery shopping), there was a neighborhood basketball court outside my bedroom window, the furniture was not comfortable
Charming: I lived with all my colleagues, it was just the right size for one person, it felt like being in college again
Not-so-charming: I lived with all my colleagues, there was no storage, and the kitchen was really small
Charming: it was furnished by IKEA, we had two TV's, the porch was amazing, there was a beautiful outside space in the middle of our complex
Not-so-charming: the kitchen was even smaller than our Kuwait one, there was no oven, the hot water didn't work for very long
Charming: it was HUGE, had a backyard and enough rooms to put anything we could think of buying, had a working fireplace, and felt very safe and secure
Not-so-charming: it wasn't furnished, it was painted crazy colors when we moved in, there was no A/C or heating, and it grew mold during the rainy season
Charming: really modern villa, enough space, backyard, we lived on the same street as our colleagues
Not-so-charming: all the houses looked exactly the same, inside and out, the A/C's leaked constantly, the cold water was hot in the summer because the water tank was on the roof, ants
And now we're in Serbia. Our apartment is quirky, to say the least. There are a lot of curved and slanted walls, different colors of marble, and mirrors in strange places. One wall is painted orange-ish and there's a space by the fireplace that we can't figure out what to do with. And there's no outside space.
But it is completely furnished (down to dishes, cleaning supplies, and rolls of toilet paper) and the school provided us with comforters, pillows, and towels. So far, we have only had to buy sheets, oven mitts, and trash cans for the bathrooms. That's not bad for moving into a new house.
Here's what the apartment looks like:
We're waiting on our shipment which has our rugs, our door-table, and our art, paintings, and personal photos. Having 'our' things will make it feel more like home. But after almost two weeks, this place has definitely grown on me. I'm enjoying the space, of which there is plenty, and also the storage, of which there is more than enough. It is a perfect apartment for hide-and-seek, and though the kitchen is small, I like the wall of windows and the fig tree just outside the door.
Our biggest obstacle will be remembering to walk the dogs again, after four years of just letting them out the back door or taking them for fun walks, not necessary walks. Plus we have to make ourselves leave the apartment to get the girls out to play, since we don't have a yard or the blessed trampoline out in the back anymore.
The apartment is not something I would've chosen for myself, but I am learning to find the happiness in my family space. We have the option of moving next year, finding our own place. During the first week, I said we would definitely be apartment hunting… this week, I'm not so sure. Let's see how it all plays out!
How would you feel about moving into an apartment or house someone else picked out for you?

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 24, No. 2, December 1997 INFORMING HISTORICAL RESEARCH IN ACCOUNTING AND MANAGEMENT: TRADITIONS, PHILOSOPHIES, AND OPPORTUNITIES Lee D. Parker UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE Abstract: Historical research in accounting and management, hitherto largely neglected as a field of inquiry by many management and accounting researchers, has experienced a resurgence of interest and activity in research conferences and journals over the past decade. The potential lessons of the past for contemporary issues have been rediscovered, but the way forward is littered with antiquarian narratives, methodologically naive analyses, ideologically driven interpretation and ignorance of the traditions, schools and philosophy of the craft by accounting and management researchers as well as traditional and critical historians themselves. This paper offers an introduction to contributions made to the philosophies and methods of history by significant historians in the past, a review of some of the influential schools of historical thought, insights into philosophies of historical knowledge and explanation and a brief introduction to oral and business history. On this basis the case is made for the philosophically and methodologically informed approach to the investigation of our past heritage in accounting and management Accounting and management research has proliferated in both volume and variety in recent decades, yet much of it remains curiously ahistorical. Many contemporary research journal articles for instance contain all but the briefest allusions to prior practices and knowledge, often confining themselves to the almost obligatory but cursory review of the previous ten years' literature. Not only do many contemporary accounting and management researchers risk leaving themselves without a sense of tradition, but they also risk revisiting earlier solved issues or making decisions about the future in isolation from the past. The problem does not end here. It is not difficult to locate in the extant accounting and management literature, examples of historical research Submitted December 1996 Revised February 1997 Accepted April 1997

It's become more or less common knowledge that US forces have been using music as an operational tool for some time now, and I've begun seeing lists of the songs that are being used either to inflict pain, to demoralize, or to just generally disorient various people in various sorts of situations.
There are others, wiser than I, who will opine as to the questions of efficacy and the moral issues surrounding these kinds of operations; I will opine, instead, as to the quality of the songs used.
Frankly, had anyone asked, I could have put the torturers onto much better musical choices, just by selecting from my own "My Music" folder--which left me thinking: "Hey, it's almost the weekend...why not do exactly that?"
Got any psychological warfare mission planned for the weekend? Expecting to have to direct amplified sound at an angry mob in a defensive maneuver Saturday night? Planning a Halloween haunted house that goes a bit...fuurther?
Come along with me then, soldier, and I'll provide you a playlist that should do the trick in almost any foreseeable emergency.

A lot of This is Incomplete
Figure 1. Moprod pipe flaring tool, cheap
but very effective bit of kit.
I did have a turret brake pipe tool, it wasn't the one you
see in the draper/sealy catalogue's but a rather nice old
Churchill thing. It made perfect flares in everything I ever
tried in it, including 5/16" stainless steel. Someone
wanted to buy it and this tool does the job so well that I
said OK. The Snap On tool does the job but not as well as
the other tool, under a car flaring steel pipe can be very
difficult. Usually a pipe with a male union going into a cylinder
will have a single flare, but sometimes a hardened convex
seat is in the cylinder, so that a double fare will be needed.
So check the old pipe before flaring the pipe.

Editio Vaticana Errata
published 7 November 2010 by Jeff Ostrowski
As great as the Editio Vaticana is, it is not perfect in every detail.
Joseph Gogniat points out that the Vatican Edition sometimes fails to mark each liquescent:
Here is another instance where liquescents are missing:

Colorful Sheepskin Pillow is rated out of 5 by 13.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aunty JJ from Creature Comfort's Like a warm hug before settling in, I purchased this cozy pillow in ivory as a head and arm rest . When I opened the box the pillow landed on the couch and found its way into the bedroom and back again . Thinking about getting one in pink and lavender to brighten up for summer. Loving the natural wool for all in comfort.

Are the sheep killed in order to make the pillows and rugs
No, the materials used to create the rugs and pillows are a bi-product of another industry.
Date published: 2019-05-13
Does the color of the fabric backing match the color of the sheepskin? For example, is the backing of the purple pillow purple?
The back is white on all 3 colors made of 100% polyester.
Date published: 2018-12-21
on the ivory pillow, could you show a picture of the backside of pillow?
We regret we do not have a photo of the back of the pillow. The back has a poly fabric backing with a concealed zipper.
Date published: 2018-04-16
Will the colored sheepskin pillows bleed onto upholstered furniture or rugs?
Any comments from people who purchased the colored pillows would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Color transfer from the sheepskin may occur with perspiration or moisture.

End of Year Charitable Giving
If you are like me, you can hardly believe that the end of the year is almost here. In addition to thinking about the holidays, it is also a good time to review important financial matters, including your charitable gift plans. As the calendar year comes to a close, some donors are considering tax reduction strategies. Giving is much more than tax brackets and charitable deductions – your gifts also provide a meaningful difference to the organizations who receives them.
American's are very giving people. In fact, individuals in the United States contribute more than 80% of the funds raised by charities. For many, the end of the year is a time to express thanks for the blessings they have received in the past and to plan for the future. It can also be a time for sharing with others.
To help donors make wise decisions about contributing, the Council of Better Business Bureaus has developed some tips on charitable giving:
1) It is best to make your contribution with a check (not cash) which is made payable to the charity, not the individual collecting the donation.
2) Keep records of your donation, such as receipts, cancelled checks, and bank statements, in order for you to document your charitable giving at tax time.
3) Be wary of names of organizations that closely resemble the name of a well known organization but are not affiliated.
4) Check out the organization before giving. Always take time to ask who they are, what they are doing, and how they spend their funding. A legitimate organization will be happy to answer your questions.
5) It is illegal to demand payment for unordered merchandise. If items such as calendars, greeting cards, etc. are enclosed with an appeal letter and you did not order them, you are under no obligation to pay for or return the merchandise.
Many people are not aware that gifts other than cash can be given to non-profit organizations. Those that do donate gifts of securities, gifts of life insurance, gifts of retirement assets, charitable gift annuities and/or make a bequest can receive tax benefits for such planned giving.
We all have things we are grateful for, causes we believe in, and experiences that have enriched our lives. In appreciation we donate time and money. The end of the year offers an opportunity to reflect on those things we appreciate most and for many completing their charitable goals is a natural and satisfying part.
We are in the midst of a longevity revolution – with the average life expectancy increasing. Instead of the rare individual reaching age 85 and older, most of us have an excellent chance of making it to this age. Today's active adult is more vital, remains mentally stimulated and physically active as a result of participating in various recreational, educational and social activities.
What couldn't be further from the truth is the perception that as soon as a person is old, they are automatically considered of little value, or a burden on society, or slow to accept change, or a whole myriad of negative images. The sooner we combat the negative societal perceptions of older people as non-valuable and non-productive the sooner the better. Older people are part of the cycle of life and positive perceptions should replace the traditional pessimistic stereotype of the aging.
This is a time to acknowledge the significant contributions of older adults and renew our commitment to the well being of older adults and the living of their golden years in good health. I have the pleasure of spending my days with many, many older adults who have made a real difference and a distinct positive contribution to this community.
Not only are people living longer, a greater percentage of the population is older, and that trend will continue - with the emergence of the national "Elder Boom" that will result over the next 10+ years. By 2020, the over 65 population in the
is projected to double and the number of Americans over 85 is expected to be more than quadruple in the same time period. There will soon be more older people in the U.S. than younger people. U.S.
Winter Driving Safety
Following a few simple driving habits like planning ahead, driving at a safe speed, driving alert and buckling up could ensure that you safely make it to your destination.
Safe Winter Driving Tips:
- Clear snow and ice from all windows and lights – even the hood and roof – before driving.
- Pay attention. Don't try to out-drive the conditions. Remember the posted speed limits are for dry pavement.
- Leave plenty of room for stopping.
- Leave room for maintenance vehicles and plows – stay back and don't pass on the right.
- Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Don't stomp on the brakes. It takes more time to stop in adverse conditions.
- Watch for slippery bridges, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the adjacent pavement.
- Don't use your cruise control in wintry conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to deactivate the cruise control feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
- Don't pump anti-lock brakes. If your car is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump brakes in attempting to stop. The right way is to "stomp and steer".
- Look farther ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you quicker to problems and gives you that split-second extra time to safely react.
- Remember that trucks are heavier than cars. Trucks take longer to safely respond and come to a complete stop, so avoid cutting quickly in front of them.
- Go slow! Drive according to conditions.
Preparing Your Vehicle for Winter Driving:Reliable transportation is especially important in the winter. Not only should you keep your vehicle in top operating condition all year round - for safety and fuel economy - it is especially important to get it winterized to avoid any unpleasant or dangerous situations while traveling in frigid weather. Check the following:
- Ignition system
- Fuel system
- Belts
- Fluid levels
- Brakes
- Exhaust system
- Wiper blades and windshield washer fluid
- Snow tires
- Tire tread and pressure
- Defroster
- Proper grade oil
- Cooling system
- Battery
- Lights
- Antifreeze
- A cellular phone can be very useful to you or another stranded motorist in case of an emergency.
- Drive with your headlights on.
- Stock your car with basic winter driving equipment: a scraper and brush, small shovel, jumper cables, tow chain and a bag of sand or cat litter for tire traction.
- Include road flares, a blanket, heavy boots, warm clothing, and flashlight with batteries.
Allow Extra Time:Give yourself some extra time to reach your destination. Roadways get slick when freezing air circulates above it. Remember bridges and overpasses typically freeze before other road surfaces so you don't want to do any hard braking or quick accelerations. When snow falls, time and resources are focused on the most heavily traveled routes first, so sidestreets may not see a snowplow right away.
Wash Your Car:Keeping your vehicle clean during the winter keeps snow and road grime from caking on your head and taillights, which makes it easier for you to see and be seen. Salt and anti- icing chemicals can cause corrosion so you want to wash them from your vehicle.
I hope these tips keep you safe this winter.
Managing Holiday Stress
Maintaining good health throughout stressful times is directly linked to a positive mind set. Improving your mood need not be time consuming or expensive – try these simple strategies to distract your attention from the hectic pace of life around you and restore the energy you need.
Make sure you are well rested. According to the National Institute on Aging, an estimated 30 percent of middle aged Americans don't get enough sleep. Factors that can help you get a good night's sleep are sticking to a regular bedtime, sleeping in a cool and dark room and avoiding stimulants such as caffeine after mid-afternoon.
of Sports Medicine recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise each day. Moderate exercise is an activity that leaves you feeling warm, but still able to talk. And don't forget routine activities like mopping the floor and raking leaves are considered moderate exercise. American College
Music has the ability to alter your mood. If you want to relax, listen to slow, soothing classical music. To energize yourself, pick something that is faster such as jazz or pop. Or consider making your own music by playing a musical instrument.
Because the holidays may be one of the few times that the family gathers during the year, caregivers often feel a sense of sadness or loss if familiar traditions cannot be celebrated as they were before a disabling condition started it course for the one they are caring for. It's understandable if family caregivers experience difficult emotions and conflicting feelings, or find themselves feeling particularly sad during the holidays. All of the suggestions above (having a positive mind set, being well rested, doing moderate exercise and using music to uplift mood) apply to caregivers, too. I'd also like to share some additional tips for managing holiday stress for caregivers.
Often the relatives you see least can be the family members who try your patience and sanity the most. Keep in mind that these relatives can't understand or appreciate the role you play as caregiver. Because they pop in and out, they don't understand the difficulty you face in trying to be the best caregiver possible. But, with a little education and information, you might be able to open their eyes and their hearts. Although you regularly update your family about your care recipient's condition, sometimes the truth of your words hits home during a relative's visit. When a family member first schedules a visit, begin the process of re-educating them about your loved one's current illness or condition. Your local association's, such as The Cancer Society, Alzheimer's Association or Arthritis Foundation have excellent brochures and flyers that can help you inform family members.
Your family members may be freightened by the condition of their once-virile and healthy loved one. If they are familiar with the disease's progression and condition, they will be more comfortable and understanding of their loved one. Also, recommend they read books that you found particularly helpful. Include a list of techniques you found useful when dealing with your care recipient's repetitive questions, loss of bladder or bowel control, or confusion. Also, if your loved one suffers from Alzheimer's disease or a similar dementia, include a list of triggers, events or actions that seem to create a negative reaction or behavior. Share your learning experiences with them – how you adapted to the changes due to your loved one's illness. Communicating your knowledge and experience will be helpful for you, your care recipient and your family members.
You might worry your loved one will be overwhelmed at a large family event. Be honest and open with your family and friends about your loved one's limitations. Consider visiting family early in the day when your loved one is alert and sociable. You might ask small groups of guests to visit your home. This can be less overwhelming for your loved one who may be more comfortable in familiar surroundings.
Some family caregivers may choose to go to holiday gatherings without their loved one, and this is an understandable choice. Someone suffering from dementia may simply be too confused or agitate to enjoy the event. If you do bring your loved one, take turns attending to him or her so that you don't have to do all of the caregiving yourself.
With reduced expectations of the holidays, it can be helpful and even enjoyable to focus on what you still share with your loved one. Try reminiscing about family and friends from past holidays. Watching movies, listening to songs or looking at old photos connected to holiday memories are other good ways to share and re-experience the warmth with your loved one, even if he or she is no longer able to communicate with you.
Lastly, it is normal to feel sadness and loss as a caregiver during the holidays and it probably will not be helpful to ignore or deny these feelings. The loss you experience with your loved one is real, and despite your efforts to lift your own spirits and plan ahead, your can still run into the "holiday blues". Finding someone understanding who you can talk to about such feelings can be one more important step to lift your spirits.
I wish you a tranquil holiday season and Happy New Year.

Whilst the ancient Egyptians created what is known as the 'Chester Beatty' document written on Papyrus, one of the earliest documents about dreams, a Roman named 'Artemidorus' wrote the first comprehensive book regarding dream interpretation, in about 140 AD. It is called 'Oneirocriticon' which, perhaps unsurprisingly, translates as 'The Interpretation of Dreams' . Artemidorus is thought to have been influenced by earlier works though with many of his own ideas added. In his book, which consisted of 5 volumes, Artemidorus expounds the view that a persons dreams are influenced by their social status, occupation and health and that the symbols in their dreams reflect that. He also states that 'the rules of dreaming are not general, and therefore cannot satisfy all persons, but often, according to times and persons, they admit of varied interpretations.'
An example of Artemidorus' interpretations is that he believed a dream about bathing in clean water foretold much good fortune and bathing in muddy water the reverse.
A second Oneirocriticon was written by a man who called himself 'Astrampsychus' though many scholars attribute it to 'Nicephorus' a Byzantine writer and think it was written much later than Roman times.
Many of the interpretations in both these books are similar to those still in vogue today which, considering the fact that Artemidorus was heavily influenced by earlier texts, demonstrates that some of these ideas have been around for thousand of years, with little change.
Sweet dreams!
