When I play F&K, I always get matched with Chinese flags with Vela's that oneshot kill my vulp. They all play together to share the gems, and kill all other flags. 9 out of 10 it ends up with 3 or 4 chinese Vela's having all the gems. To me that doesn't seem fair. There are a lot of Vela's with Chinese flags, while it is almost impossible for me to get a Vela.
@hawkwolf223 it's not that the chinese play together. I can understand that. But the fact that they all have vela's and always matchup with other players with lower level tanks is at least strange don't you think?
they have one shot kills, and always end up with the gems. Look at the ss
That is chilingo and their matching algorithm. I have tried to point out the problem, but they don't see it, and other players say I am whining.

Barack Obama commutes Chelsea Manning's sentence
I am sure you have all heard by now that Barack Obama has commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning, who was tried and found guilty of leaking top secret United States documents to Julian Assange of Wikileaks and sentenced to 35 years in jail.
I just need somebody to help me through this one aspect of this: Wikileaks has been accused of working with Russia in an attempt to leak damaging material on Hillary Clinton before the election even though Julian Assange has repeatedly stated Russia was not the source of the information and Russia has been condemned for this. But here we have a person who actually did leak information to Wikileaks (in all likelihood not the information used in the attempt to take down Hillary Clinton) and he had his sentence commuted.
If what the Democrats are claiming is true about Russia coordinating with Wikileaks it means Chelsea Manning indirectly gave information to the Russians through Wikileaks.
Does this make any sense? I am confused…
malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium
CJ permalinkJanuary 17, 2017 10:56 pm
The first problem to be addressed is the classification of the material released. You use the words top secret, but Wikipedia says "classified or unclassified but sensitive military and diplomatic documents." As with Hillary there is a debate as to what is classified information. Hillary was SoS and Manning was a private. Why would a private have access to Top Secret Classified information? In another recent case a sailor took a selfie and accidently included a radar screen. He is facing charges of releasing classified information.
The second problem is we don't know what Russia or China already knew. Did the information Manning release change or affect the US ME war strategy? Was Russia or China able to take advantage of the released information.
A leak is not a hack. The Dem. are computer illiterate and are attempting to decieve the public.

Paul Yura is an Austin-born, Texas-educated forecaster who, naturally, wants the Lone Star state to win an annual contest near and dear to his heart.
Yura is the second-in-command of the National Weather Service office that serves the Austin-San Antonio region. The office has powerful weather-observation technology, but in weeks like this one in particular, it also relies "ground truth": what people see, hear, feel and report — observations that will either square with the tech or show where it's still imprecise. A big piece of ground truth comes from rain gauges in peoples' backyards. A great way to supply that particular kind of truth comes from CoCoRaHS, which is somewhat short for Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network.
Those are large rain gauges distributed by the CoCoRaHS ("sounds like cocoa puffs"). The nationwide network of weather enthusiasts — which you can join — is now having its own "March Madness." It's this contest that Yura wants to win. He wants Texas to add the most CoCoRaHS of any state this year. They look like this:
And they're used like this:
Why does that matter? Precipitation measurements help with everything from large-scale agriculture to knowing whether you should fix your gutters. In Colorado, where CoCoRaHS began, snowfall influences a great many things. In Central Texas, it is particularly useful in understanding the flood patterns of "flash flood alley."
"Having real rainfall reports from actual locations can really help us with our watches and warnings," Yura said.
The gauges are available online (one site has them for $30.50) and there is a link through the web site of the National Weather Service's Austin-San Antonio office. One you have a suitable rain gauge, you can go to the CoCoRaHS web site and register. Then, just enter rainfall totals in the database. Both you and the experts can track rainfall totals. Or, email Bill Runyon, a Texas CoCoRaHS observer and retired Weather Service employee, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
But hurry. March Madness is already underway. As of March 6, the most recent day available, North Carolina led the way with 14 new CoCoRaHS added. Texas was in fifth place, with 11 added.

I have never swam so far in all my life, to be honest I didn't even think I could. It is amazing what you can achieve with some training and a little bit of self-belief.
Two summers ago I took my two children Isabella (12) and Charlie (8) swimming and was appalled at their ability or rather inability, despite having been on a course every autumn half term since they were little, and resolved to get them up to a decent level. So I booked them onto weekly lessons with Aquazone at the Magnet leisure centre in Maidenhead.
For the first few weeks I sat at the side and twiddled on my phone with all the other parents, watching them have their lessons, and then one day I thought what a waste of time this is, I could be in there getting fit and better still set an example. The next week that's what I did, I took my trunks, we all got changed the kids went to their respective lessons and I started doing lengths. Just 30 minutes, no more, no less, the rule was to see how many lengths I could fit in before the kids finished.
My first goal was 30 lengths, and I really struggled to do that, after every two lengths I was dying, and would spend more time resting than swimming. By the end of the third term, I had really improved and I was aiming at 50 lengths in my 30 minute slot, sadly I did not make it but I was getting close. I was massively inspired by this chap called Ian, I had got chatting to him once and found out he did a lot of marathon swims, in the river for miles. It didn't seem to matter what time the kids lessons moved to, as they do each term, he was always there up, down, up, down, just non-stop, awesome really. He gave me some really useful tips to help improve my stamina.
Back in the autumn, when I started thinking about the challenges for ADCCT, 100 lengths in an hour seemed like a pretty steep mountain, despite the fact that I had reached my goal of 50 in half an hour. I really had to push to do that and the thought of doubling the distance seemed really too much.
One lesson this term, I started swimming, and because I had got in late and was short of time I decided not to stop every 4 lengths for a breather and just carried on, up and down up and down, I was gob smacked at first, bosh 20 lengths just like that, I made myself stop, it was a real confidence boost, if I didn't need to break every 4 lengths the 2500m seemed like a real possibility, the following week I swam 30 lengths back to back, It wasn't that long ago just swimming 30 lengths was an achievement, and still felt great, I did it again and completed 60 lengths in 34 minutes, this was the week before the challenge, but wow, the 100 really was on.
My last training session I decided I was going for 80,' I set the goal in my head, and completed it in 46 mins. Each 20 was taking me 11 minutes, definitely possible, as long as I don't cramp up, I had managed the 80 well and still felt good so I was feeling confident about the 100 now.
On the Friday, the day of the challenge, the lovely ADCCT ladies had brought me a pop-up banner to put up at the end of the lane, and I checked in with Jes the Windsor Centre manager, and he put it up for me. There was nobody to cheer me on, despite telling everybody at work and my wife had phoned and said she wasn't going to make it, Jes started the stopwatch and I set off on my first 20, still no body, a 30 second break, and then into the second.
I had just started the second set and was getting really bored, when I noticed that someone had sat in the seats and was watching I realised that it was two people a woman and a child, Fiona Devine and her son. Wow what a lift that was, I doubled my efforts I was so chuffed and so inspired and really remembered why I was doing this crazy thing.
At the end of the set I waved and said 'hi' but I couldn't stop so was straight back into the third set. After the first couple of lengths I noticed one Amanda from work had arrived and again I felt a real lift at just the right moment. Again at the end of the set I waved and said 'Hi', and then carried on again.
And then right at the same point in the fourth set I looked up and my wife had made it. I redoubled my efforts yet again, and then I was at the final set and still no cramp. I had a vague idea that I was on time but I could feel myself tiring and slowing down but I figured I had been consistent enough through out to make it as long as I didn't cramp up.
The cramps in my legs came eventually and I have swam for quite a while with them before, being really careful not to put any pressure on them even just kicking off the sides on each turn. It really takes it out of the arms because they have to do all the work, but….it was length 99, I figured I'd make it.
I was shattered but the stopwatch read 57:29 by the time I had got the goggles off and worked out which was the right button to press. So 100 lengths/2500m and 57½ minutes of continuous swimming, February's challenge was complete!

from Rebel Buddha, Chapter 10, "The Altruistic Heart" (pp. 137-8)
Sometimes we say it's a big world and sometimes we say it's a small world. Whichever way we think of it, we know that there are countless people on this earth, and as many kinds of suffering as there are inhabitants of the planet. Whether suffering comes from outside or from within, it often made worse by the sense of isolation and aloneness it brings with it. Suffering gives us the feeling of having no friend. When we open our hearts to others, the magnitude of the suffering we meet can be overwhelming. Our sense of love and compassion can go into a state of shock. It is helpful, then, to remember that sometimes the most powerful medicine we can offer for suffering of any kind is simply kindness. It says, "You are not alone. I see you, I hear you, I am with you." Even if it is only for a moment or a day, that sense of genuine connection can change the trajectory of a life. To be genuine and kind is like a broad-spectrum remedy for the pain that afflicts the heart. Giving food, shelter and work are important and that should always be done, too, as much as possible. If you are in a position to give any of those, don't withhold them. But every one of us is in a position to be genuine and kind.
To offer this kindness to others, we first have to learn to be kind toward ourselves. Then we can approach others and extend that same kindness to them. Again, wanting to help others does not mean we have the goal of saving them in the sense of setting them on the "right course" according to our view. If there is any way we can really save someone, being genuine and kind is probably the only way. You are not going to save people by pushing them toward a goal you have in mind for them.
If you are driven by such a motivation, then your actions are more like those of a religious missionary than a best friend. There is a lot of egocentricity in wanting to be a savior, and it is a theistic view as well. You may be thinking, "I just want to save Joe and Mary from themselves—I am not trying to save their souls." In that case, you may be using a different label, but your attitude and actions are much the same.
We could instead be like a best friend to others. When you have a best friend, you know that person will always try to be there for you when you need help. Your friend is not there trying to convert or save you, only to give you support and create whatever environment you need. A relationship can go wrong when one person tries to save the other. You may be trying to rescue a friend or partner from grief, depression, or simply the misfortune of holding wrong political views, but nevertheless, you must respect the integrity of each individual and your own limitations of knowledge. On the other hand, in many cases, kindness is all you can offer and all you need to offer. A kind, good and gentle heart can melt the barriers that separate us. When you feel the quality of genuine kindness in your own heart and can extend that to another person, then although that person may be in a sad or difficult situation, it can convey a healing sense of warmth and peace.

The struggle to save a New York icon.
Patience and Fortitude, the names of the venerable lions flanking the entrance of the New York Public Library, serve well as the title of journalist Sherman's debut book about the determined and courageous protestors battling vast changes to the library. Based on articles that he published in the Nation, Sherman presents a scathing exposé of a proposed Central Library Plan that would have demolished the NYPL stacks, sent 3 million books off-site to Princeton, New Jersey, and left branch libraries destitute. Many noted writers and scholars were aghast: Salman Rushdie signed a protest letter, as did Tom Stoppard, Ann Patchett, Donna Tartt, Jonathan Lethem, and others. But the library's board of trustees were equally notable—including Toni Morrison, former Harvard president Neil Rudenstine, and historian Robert Darnton—and they struggled to address the institution's dire economic straits. The NYPL, the only private library among the world's great research libraries, "must find about 70% of its revenues from the private sector." Benefactors' donations temporarily stemmed the erosion of money, but soon after Brooke Astor donated $5 million, for example, the library was once again broke. In the 1980s, under Vartan Gregorian's presidency, the NYPL's endowment rose to $172 million, but the need for more funds never abated. The library took to selling off art and property, closing branches, and retaining architect Norman Foster to revamp the Fifth Avenue building, de-emphasizing research but creating modern, inviting spaces. It would become, one critic said, "a vast internet cafe," where visitors could check email and read e-books. Many of the library's trustees would not talk to Sherman, and even Bill de Blasio, who supported the protestors, declined to be interviewed. Nevertheless, Sherman has unearthed convincing evidence that the CLP was misguided; the library, he urges, "needs government regulation" and "a new generation of public-spirited trustees."
A compelling exploration of the battle over "a world-class library that lost its way in the digital age."

Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Economic Summit and Annual Meeting
On July 15, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and ABC News analyst George Will will deliver the keynote address during the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce's fourth annual Economic Summit and Annual Meeting, presented by Greenebaum Doll & McDonald.
Since 2006, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce's Economic Summit and Annual Meeting has proved to be a catalyst for change in the Commonwealth. During this one-of-a-kind event, Kentucky's top business leaders, educators and legislators converge in Louisville to discuss key issues that will affect the state's future for decades. The high-level discussions at the Economic Summit in past years have spawned the New Agenda for Kentucky Project, ideas for a government modernization study, and has helped shape the policy debate in Frankfort. In light of the current economic crisis, the Fourth Annual Economic Summit and Annual Meeting is expected to be the most provocative, inspiring summit yet. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that a new course is charted for Kentucky's future.

Setting Personal Targets
by Ali Tareque
Published: 25th May, 2004
If one takes the pain to list the merits coming out of recent Bangladesh cricket,
fan enthusiasm will be sure to hover around the top, and that both in capacity
and intensity. And widespread enthusiasm has always worked as a self-stimulus
in uplifting the concerned field of interest.
Besides the obvious effects, it may not hurt to add some deliberate bolstering
in the process. As far as amenities and accommodations are concerned, currently
we are in a state arguably better than any time before, and improving (hopefully).
But, in spite of the recent improvements in all the areas such as batting, bowling
and fielding, we seem to be dwelling on a quasi-euphoric-plateau of developmental
stage for quite sometime. This may not necessarily be looked at as a very problematic
state, as these intermittent plateaus, along with the developing ascents, create
the staircase to success. But nevertheless, to keep it on the course we need
those ascents, even if sometimes with deliberate thrusts.
One thing that Dave Whatmore mentioned while giving vent to his exasperation
at the outcome of the ODI series against the West Indies that seemed to be as
important as anything else for the development is about the players setting
their own personal targets. Our players definitely have their own personal targets,
but there are always places to improve. Understandably, cricketers very often
tend to set their targets in comparison with what have been achieved by their
fellow players, past or present. Given the immeasurable gap that prevails between
Bangladesh and other countries in both respects, we cannot completely blame
our cricketers for their apparent shortage of self-esteem.
Talking about esteem, achievement begets recognition, and recognition gives
birth to esteem. And even though 'esteem assisting in achievement' completes
the cycle, we need not wait to get the 'Chicken and Egg' puzzle solved. There
might as well be other ways to get around with this self-esteem problem.
Of course, while this issue is more of a cultural and psychological one, it
nevertheless bears tremendous importance towards the advancement of the sport
in the international arena. In addition to what the therapists and other specialists
are doing in this sector, there might be several other ways to attack this problem.
I would like to propound an idea of monetary incentive, sponsored, possibly,
by corporate bodies. Announcement of awards for each small achievement in the
field may go step-by-step with the players' course towards team success. Given
the interest the corporate bodies are taking in the sport, it might be easy
to convince them to pursue this scheme. Awards may be declared for all the wins,
hundreds, fifties, catches, wickets, running-outs, stumpings, partnership records,
man-of-the-match's, double/triple hundreds and hattricks, and for reaching personal
landmarks. As it happens, these awards will eventually grow out of its monetary
value and acquire the status of accolades resembling minuscule mileposts along
the path of personal achievement.
While this is just one idea, fans will hopefully be spawning numerous ideas,
which will be easy to put into work. At least that will be one of the merits
of fan enthusiasm.

Hey guys,
I'm sorry this is a little bit of short notice, but in case anyone is interested, a friend told me about this film festival that is currently accepting submissions. I think the idea is really cool and could lead to a really meaningful and inspirational summer project.
Have fun!
Here's some details:
From the earthquake in Haiti to the Gulf Oil Spill, environmental
disasters are currently at the forefront of world news. In response, explore.org, a non-profit multi-media organization, has recently created the the explore/HATCH Short Film Award to be given to a filmmaker who best tells the story of a remarkable individual's actions in response to a devastating environmental event.
Our goal? To spread awareness of disasters and bring recognition to those selfless heroes who are making a difference.

At our workshop at Abba Hailemariam School on Tuesday, I was surprised to find a high school. The very large area of Geter Adwa – the rural area on all sides of Adwa town which is a separate woreda or administrative area – has had no high school of its own. Students have to travel up to 30 kilometres to attend high school in Adwa town – a long distance on rocky paths with no buses. At Abba Hailemariam School, a grade 1 to 4 school, a high school has been built. This year it is just Grade 9, next year it will add Grade 10. So high school is accessible for about 250 students a year living in the surrounding area.
I took the opportunity to observe a couple of classes. There is no plasma television so the teachers have to work for the whole period, and work they do! I observed two classes, Physics and Mathematics. The teachers, who know their subjects well, lectured for the whole period, with little thought that the students might benefit from doing some work themselves.
Both teachers worked out several exercises for the students' benefit, but didn't give them time to do anything on their own, and neither teacher assigned any homework. They were pretty receptive to my feedback though, although they still repeated the old line that there's not enough time for the students to do more. I was impressed that all the high school teachers, who naturally had not been aware of our workshop, welcomed the invitation to join in.
I've been observing a lot of higher grade lessons lately. While the lack of student involvement is obvious, the high quality of most teachers' lectures is also obvious. It does make me think back to my own education in high school and university, and really how similar the lecture format is. We certainly don't have all the answers to education in the West either.
High school teachers have Bachelors degrees, while Grade 5 to 8 teachers generally have Grade 10 plus three years Diploma, and Grade 1 to 4 teachers have Grade 10 plus one year Certificate. I don't know if this creates a bit of an intimidation factor, but it was apparent that something was going on with the high school teachers in our workshop. They were the only ones to offer ideas to the whole group. The normally keen grade 5 to 8 teachers wouldn't say a word.Phone Update
My phone is still stolen. But at least I was able, with remarkable efficiency, to get a new one with the same phone number. The bad news is that although I didn't feel terribly upset at the time, it has made me a bit more wary. When a little boy touched my shoulder to offer to carry my bag home from the market today, I responded with a lot more paranoia than I would have liked.

An Impromptu Fishing Trip Isn't 'Pure Michigan'
One of the state's "Pure Michigan" ads talks about waking up on Saturdays in a state where we could "find ourselves fishing."
But despite what the advertisement claims, fishing is not an impromptu decision in Michigan, though it is in other states.
Bill Duckwall, owner of Paddling Michigan in Marquette, says he has a charter boat he uses for fishing in South Carolina. He said in that state, he buys a $150 license for his boat and that covers anyone on the boat, meaning only one license is required.
According to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, only the captain of the charter boat is required to have a fishing license. Individuals fishing on that charter boat don't need a license.
The process isn't so pure in Michigan.
"Michigan makes everybody got get a license," Duckwall said.
Michigan DNR Spokeswoman Mary Dettloff said that each person fishing on a boat is required to have his or her own individual license, and that the charter boat also needs a license.
An "all species" nonresident state fishing license costs $42.
The problem, the livery owners says, is that even when the state spends millions to promote tourism, the regulations can get in the way.

Rolling through tough times
In an effort to fight the effects of rising fuel costs and a struggling economy, many US companies are going "green" by eliminating pallets and using slip sheets. "This helps reduce transportation costs while increasing cube utilization within trailers and containers", says Mike Yacks, vice president of Meijer Handling Solutions Inc.
"We're seeing a tremendous push to lower costs in order for companies to gain a competitive edge within their respective markets. Slashing fuel consumption not only saves money but also has a positive impact on our environment", says Yacks.
The patent RollerForks are rapidly gaining in popularity as they provide an extremely cost effective and simple solution for palletless handling. Reachable Solutions has a growing list of demo requests and even with a dozen sets in industries such as Chemicals (granulates), Frozen Food, Powdered Milk, Flour, Peanuts (FIBC's), and more, the list keeps growing.
"We've even got customers considering RollerForks for handling metal sheets, wooden cable reels, carpet rolls and bundles of insulation materials", Yacks comments excitedly, "the feedback is tremendous and it's a lot of fun to be part of such cost saving revolution". RollerForks are helping many struggling companies find light at the end of tunnel by helping them reduce their operational costs.
Meijer Handling Solutions aims to add value to our customers' and end-users' logistical supply chains. We are the world's market leader in hydraulic lift truck forks, known as KOOI-REACHFORKS®. Also, we are known for our palletless handling attachments such as the patented ROLLERFORKS® and our unique PushPull systems. The latest Meijer Handling Solutions product to be introduced to the market is the patented FLEX-OPS®, a safety enhancement for forklift trucks.

This year I was lucky enough to be able to spend Christmas travelling around Cuba with my sister, Chloe. Despite being the best of friends and sharing a mutual love for travel, we had never actually taken a trip just the two of us. So six months before Christmas we decided to book some flights and brush up on our Spanish (which in my case is abysmal). And come the 16th of December we were rubbing our tired eyes and stepping off the plane into the hectic city of Havana.
It is a requirement for tourists to book their first three nights accommodation in Cuba, so we had booked a room in a beautiful casa in Old Havana (though for the first two nights we actually ended up in a different casa down the street, as is often the way in Cuba!) By day we explored the city, stunned by the colourful and unique architecture and the fascinating history of the place (and there was a good deal of dribbling over the 1950s Chevrolets on my part!) On our first day of exploring, we met two lovely Cubans who took us around the city, showing us places that we never would have seen without them, our favourite of which was a small artists quarter which was so interesting and exquisite, enclosed in brightly painted walls and hidden underneath a canopy of vines and trees, it housed a handful of artists and a pet tortoise. And it's where we got our first taste of Cuban food - yum! They also apparently took us to the "real" Buena Vista Social Club, although that is questionable and I may or may not have shaken hands with an original member of The Buena Vista Social Club band, although that too is questionable.
The only camera I took with me to Cuba was my trusty Fujica 901 analogue, which all of these images were shot on and subsequently developed in a darkroom by yours truly.
On our first night in Havana we went looking for a bar where we could sink some
Feeling as though we had had our fill of Havana and desperately craving some serenity, we caught a bus to the small town of Trinidad.
It was a wonderful experience which I cherish, and it just shows; friendship knows no bounds, there's not even any need for words!
Some of the following photographs I exhibited as part of my final show at University in May.
On our first full day in Trinidad we took a short 5km trip to the beautiful little fishing village of La Boca.
Being at an early stage in our Cuba trip we were still confident that we could be properly understood with the Spanish we knew, but that delusion was to be quickly shattered. We went to the taxi bay in Trinidad and thinking we had ordered a taxi (as in a car) to La Boca, we followed a nice man who instead led to a rickshaw (as in a rickety bicycle with two seats pretty much sellotaped to it). We very reluctantly climbed in, hoping and praying that the journey was a short one, for the sake of the poor man. It was however, not. It is safe to say that it was the most embarrassing and awkward thing that both of us have probably ever experienced. Lets just say the man was sweating more than I thought it was humanly possible, and not surprisingly, as he was hauling us both up some very very steep inclines in the midday sun. He may as well have been carrying us on his back, it would have probably been easier for him. Meanwhile we were both squirming with embarrassment in the back, trying desperately to somehow make ourselves lighter, whilst repeatedly shouting "Andando!!" which we thought meant "walk" but knowing our luck probably means "faster". Oh dear.
Once the experience was over we thrust the contents of our purses into the man's hands, which by that point were just little puddles of sweat, and we ran.
La Boca itself, however, was a truly beautiful experience.
It probably isn't best captured in black and white, but that's the film that was in my camera that day!
We had met some lovely Swedish guys earlier in the night and so we all went together, making the climb up to the club, stopping on the way to buy a mojito from a makeshift stall in front of someones house. When we reached the top of the hill, there were some people milling about outside but not much seemed to be happening. That was until we started to make our way down some mysterious steps into...a cave! A natural cave! It was huge, with a glass box where the DJ sat way way up in the ceiling of the cave. It is without a doubt the coolest club I have ever been to, the music left a lot to be desired but I think I was just too overwhelmed with my surroundings to care much. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any photos of 'La Cueva', but I took a couple at The Casa de la Musica beforehand.
The older gentleman pictured above approached our table whilst we were sat at The Casa de la Musica. He had fought alongside Che Guevara in the Cuban Revolution and had some very interesting but sad stories to tell - well I don't speak Spanish but Niklas (one of the lovely Swedes, pictured above) translated some of what he was saying.
The following day we took a trip to Playa Ancon, a lovely beach which is a short drive from Trinidad. It was beautiful; palm trees, white sand and cool blue water. We swam, lazed in the sun, ate coconuts and I got some rather striking sunburn as a souvenir (the downside to having pale skin!)

On our last day in Trinidad, Chloe and I took a trip up to Topes de Collantes, a nature reserve in the Escambray Mountains, as we had read that there were some amazing waterfalls.
We had ordered a taxi to the reserve and to say the car was past it's best would be a vast understatement. It struggled and backfired up the near-vertical roads, where the driver had to stop every five minutes to pour water in the car's overheating engine (which was making the inside of the car heat up to practically 100 degrees). Once we had made it up to the top, and regained consciousness, we had to pay a 9 CUC (the tourist currency) to enter, and were pointed in a very vague direction to the waterfalls.
Poor Chloe was at this point in the midst of some terrible food poisoning and I still don't know a: how she did it and b: why we even attempted such a thing in the first place. But even so, nine miles and a great deal of swearing and sweating later, we made it to the bottom to find...
The most sinfully disappointing 'waterfall' either of us could have imagined seeing. It was not a waterfall as much as it was a sad trickle of water with a pool of green, ill-looking water beneath it. But we had made it that far, losing our sanity and a lot of bodily fluids along the way, so we swam in that water as though our lives depended on it.
(The views were beautiful at points though, so that was almost a redeeming factor.)
After that short and underwhelming interlude we began the nine mile hike back up the mountain.
So Topes de Collantes had been more like Topes de Disappointment, but despite that, our stay in Trinidad had been so wonderful. I will never forget it, and I would go back in a heartbeat.
Saying farewell to Trinidad, Christmas Eve saw us journeying to the small town of Remedios for the annual festival, but more about that in part two of my Cuban Christmas.
Until then, adiós!

What CBD Taught Me
I stayed mindful of just how I was really feeling when I initially began
to take CBD Oil, the results are so steady that its tough to put your
finger on specifically just how you really feel but I gradually noticed I
began to really feel less anxious, less worried, extra focused, much
more energised and generally had a feeling of tranquility, balance and
also being 'a lot more grounded.' Difficult circumstances started to
'clean over me' and I had not been shouting at my youngsters as much! So
it was functioning … as well as it was doing exactly what I wanted it
to do, yet then after regarding 6 months I observed I was getting extra
for my money … it was providing me benefits that I hadn't requested for!
Bye-bye PMT
I initially started taking it to aid me rest, for mild stress and anxiety as well as a general sensation of being stressed regularly. Initially I truly didn't feel any kind of various and also was still skeptical regarding whether it did anything or carried out in reality just have a placebo result on some individuals. The initial distinction I saw after a week or two was that the high quality of my sleep boosted. For many years I had no worry dropping off to sleep but discovered my self waking various times during the night and also never ever truly seemed like I got involved in a deep rest and had an actually good evening rest. I would certainly wake tired as well as really felt frequently tired throughout the day. In its self, a good evenings rest can resolve many other troubles and also I actually could start to really feel the benefits.
Steady Modifications
Because being very young I have actually experienced horrendous PMT, for regarding 3 days each month I changed right into a completely various stressful, mad, intolerant hormonal beast … I always understood the 'time of the month' got on its way. For many years I have actually attempted everything Starflower Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Vitamin B etc after that … Concerning 6 months right into my CBD Journey I all of a sudden knew that I was obtaining my duration without warning… no bad moods … nothing. At last I have won the fight over my hormonal agents! … yet it didn't quit there.
For your info I take our 10% CBD Oil. I began taking 1 decrease monring as well as evening as well as currently take 2 drops early morning and also night. A 10ml container has 200 declines so lasts me a number of months and also prices ₤ 49.95 … well worth it for all the remarkable benefits! Inspect it out here: 10% Premium CBD oil.
- After I had both my children (My youingest is now 9!) I shed a whole lot of hair. It would literally appear in handfuls. Some expanded back yet it never ever really returned to where it was and also I have been left with extremely slim fairly drab hair. I took this on the chin and saw it as simply among those things you need to manage as a result of my 2 lovely children which I would not transform for the world. So when my stylist informed me she might see lots of regrowth coming with at the roots I was stunned, it has continued and my hair feels and looks so much healthier. I can only place this down to the reality that my hormones are lastly back in equilibrium. Nothing else has actually altered other than the fact I currently take CBD Oil
- Start … you will not regret it.
So for all you women available, whatever age you are, if you feel your hormonal agents require kicking into touch then offer it a shot, it may simply be the solution to your petitions. it was mine!

If the weather outside is frightful, driving might not be delightful.
You should avoid driving during severe weather if possible. However, if you do need to drive, make sure you stay safe by following winter driving safety tips from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT).
- Winterize Your Vehicle — Prepare your vehicle for winter driving by checking that key parts like the ignition, fuel, and exhaust systems are in working order. Consider installing snow tires if needed. Put together an emergency car kit in case of a roadside emergency. Keep your gas tank at least half full throughout the winter to avoid a buildup of condensation that may cause the fuel line to freeze.
- Check Weather Conditions — Download the free Massachusetts Alerts app to get updates about severe weather watches and warnings. You can also call 5-1-1 or check the MassDOT traffic advisory page for real-time updates on road conditions. Unless it's an emergency, avoid driving during winter storms.
- Clear Your Car Before Driving — Remove all snow and ice from your vehicle's windows, lights, roof, and hood before driving. This will help you see and prevents snow on your car from blowing onto someone else's windshield while you're on the road. To help keep animals safe in the winter, bang on your hood before starting the engine to scare off critters that may be using it for shelter.
- Drive with Care — When there's snow or ice on the ground, slow down. Poor road conditions can cause your car to perform differently than it usually would. Be more cautious than usual — look farther ahead in traffic, brake early and carefully, and don't use cruise control. Watch for plows, maintenance vehicles, and trucks, and give them plenty of space.
- Park Your Car Safely — Avoid parking close to corners after snowstorms to give public safety vehicles and plows extra room to maneuver.
- Know What to Do if You Get Stuck — If you get stranded on the road, stay with your car and call 9-1-1. Don't run the engine unless you're able to keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow. Move around to keep your blood flowing and stay warm, but avoid overexertion. If possible, make your car more visible by tying a bright piece of fabric to your antenna or door handle.
For more winter driving information, read MEMA's safe winter driving tips and the full MassDOT safe winter driving tips page.
Share these winter driving tips with friends and family to help everyone have smooth commutes and a safe season. Comment below or tweet us @MassGov with any questions, and check out mass.gov/snow for more winter resources.

Once again, LadybugZen at and her delicious boys at Collecting Leaves have inspired me to get out there!
Have you visited her blog? It's one of my very favorite places.
The house is clean.
The sun is shining.
We have two dates tomorrow - an early afternoon one with friends and the other with cousins.
Today Eric is home until 1:30 or so before he goes to work.
The spawn (or guppies or tadpoles or froglets) are calling, and I am eager to investigate!
We are headed with paraphernalia (books, jars, scoops, and nets) to the nature center on the Jordan River.
I don't know if we'll find any.
But even if we don't, we'll enjoy scooting on the sidewalks, peeking through the tall grasses, running on the boardwalk, quacking with the ducks, trying to spot migratory or water birds, and the feel of the sun beaming down on our heads.
Off we go, then.

Developer Respawn Entertainment has announced that the Titanfall 2 Open Multiplayer Technical Test is now live on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Open for everyone, you can download the 12.5GB Tech Test client from the PlayStation Store and Xbox Games Store by following the links.
With a level cap of 10, this first test runs from today, August 19 to Sunday, August 21. The second test, which raises the level cap to 15, will then run from August 26 to 28. Both weekends include two all-new Titans (Ion and Scorch), Pilot tactical abilites, and a variety of weapons.
Here's what you'll find in the first test this weekend:
- Bounty Hunt (5v5): A brand new mode that pits Pilots and their teammates against an opposing team as well as the Remnant Fleet. Earn bonuses by killing grunts and enemies, but make sure and deposit all your points at the bank between waves without getting killed.
- Pilots vs. Pilots (8v8): Players can be the best Pilot on the Frontier and put their combat and mobility skills to the ultimate test in this classic 8 vs 8 Pilots only mode.
- Boomtown: A secret underground IMC facility where the latest in R&D is put to the test. In this facility Pilots can use the many peaked roofs to use as cover against combatants below. With tight lanes through the middle, Titans can also be easily ambushed.
- Homestead: The IMC have claimed Imminent Domain on a small commune's plot of land. With a series of raised, rocky plateaus and a river running down the middle, Pilots are mostly safe from Titans among the rocks and trees but they also can duck into the caves and building when needed. However, the Titans control the large rolling fields.
The second weekend then adds the 6v6 Amped Hardpoint mode and Forward Base Kodai map.
As Respawn explains on their website, the Tech Test "is specifically designed to stress-test the multiplayer servers Respawn is using for Titanfall 2."
Will you be playing Titanfall 2 this weekend?

Museum WĂĽrth
Project by Ioannis Piertzovanis
The design proposal is a small museum at the periphery of Basel for an existing trust. The location, which is neither picturesque nor representative, is in a green area surrounded by industry buildings and infrastructure. Without a defined collection, the museum is essentially a significant space and in order to define this space, we need to: one, identify the void; two, manipulate the light which makes the space apparent; and three, define with precision the limits of the project which should be closer to a pavilion than an institutional building.

Hello again,
Finally I've reached the required number of dives (60) to be passed off as a Divemaster. Although unfortunately I've been stuck at this number now for a few days due to catching a cold, and not being able to equalize below 2 meters!!! Very annoying.
On the other hand this has given me time in the dive centre to catch up on the theory side of things.
Oliver and I, another Divemaster in training, have been doing our mapping project for a site called 'Los Arcos' recently too, which involves drawing a detailed map of the site after diving it a few times, including depths, distances, compass bearings, and presenting it all onto a power point presentation ready to use in an actual briefing, And the leading the dive too.
Everything so far is going great and I recently purchased a new Scubatech wet suit from the paradise divers shop so I really look the part now. It's hard working in a dive centre which sells so much good gear; I just want all of it!

In the simplest words, Ad-Blocker is a software that prevent advertisements from loading on your desktop or mobile devices. It is not at all a new phenomenon and is as old as online advertising itself but what has triggered its exponential growth over the last couple of years?
Few facts worth mentioning – The number of people using ad blockers have seen a 5x growth from 39 million to more than 200 million since Jan 2012. It grew by 41% globally in the last 1 year with annual growth rate of 42% in US and 82% in UK. Few leading publishers like Incisive Media in UK are seeing as high as 40% of their user base using ad blockers.
Indian Publishers might be happy that in India the situation is not so bad, current usage of ad blockers is only in the range of 2-3% of the internet users but the point to be worried about is the pace of growth. The adoption of ad blockers by Indians grew by more than 100% within the last 1 year.
So what have been the key triggers that led to this tipping point in favor of ad blockers?
Plain simple reason is that users are becoming threatened, frustrated and more aware/ tech savvy. Publishers, advertisers and the ad-tech companies, the most important pillars of digital ecosystem, have been harassing the user to a level that they have revolted.
An end user goes to any website to consume content or engage in activities that he likes but what he experiences is a maze where he has to fight his way to reach to the desired place. A plethora of ads zooming in from all corners of the screen and each one playing its own tricks are there to welcome him. People are not really adverse to advertisements and innumerable researches prove that advertisements have an inherent content value associated with them but the number of ads and the way they are being shown in the current time is what is making the audience really frustrated. 'Oops the ever expanding ad dodged me into clicking on it by mistake, now I am on a new website and before I could close that website, another ad dodges me.'
Further, every user is marked, tracked and followed, just like an animal in a national park, as soon as he leaves the website and he can see the ad of the same website/ product wherever he goes. We can argue that any confidential information is not being shared or misused and targeting might not be harmful for the user but just imagine how threatening does it feel knowing that you are being tracked wherever you go, and that too to an average consumer with limited knowledge of the nitty-gritties of digital industry. He perceives this as an infringement of its privacy.
Moving ahead, people are becoming more aware and they understand that apart from the visual experience, there is a lot of processing and sometimes malicious code that runs in the background of these ads are slowing down his device and on top of that he has to foot the bill for data charges of these ads. Higher number of heavy video ads are further worsening the woes.
Final coffin in the nail came with ad blocking on mobile devices. Ad-blocking, a phenomenon restricted to desktop earlier has reached further alarming levels with Apple taking a hardcore stance and allowing ad blocking in IOS9. It should not be a surprise that ad blocking apps have been constantly leading the number of downloads at ITunes since the launch of IOS 9.
On the other hand from a publisher's perspective, creation of content and maintaining the websites is a costly affair and the publishers have very little means of income apart from the ad revenues. Subscription based model does not work as the consumer does not want to pay and now he does not want to see ads as well. In most cases, the websites without any means to support its costs would die an unnatural death if the trend continues. There has been a lot of hue and cry about this and a few very strong statements have been made "Ad Blockers are going to kill free internet"; "Internet giants like Google and Apple are colonizing independent web"
Lot of experiments are being done to figure out a solution to this. Leading publishers like Forbes, Washington Post, Axel Springers etc. are blocking users using ad blockers and are getting some initial success but are these coercive steps really in the right direction of finding a permanent and more practical solution to the problem.
Every industry works on a fine balance where there is a win-win situation for all stakeholders – consumers, publishers and advertisers in this case. But this balance has been disrupted with too much forced and unethical advertising and the rhetoric rise of ad-blockers is an alarm that we need to respect our end customer. All stakeholders need to stop feeling sorry about their own grievances and understand that they cannot survive without each other. Necessary actions need to be taken on utmost priority to revive this balance and those actions will decide whether ad blockers will be another milestone or a landmark in the history of internet.

If the bridge were out and the train approaching, we would hopefully try to flag it down. If a tsunami was imminent, we would warn people to get to higher ground. We would not dream of just sitting by and letting the disaster unfold.
It was the same with the prophets of ancient Israel. They had the unpleasant and thankless task of warning the people of impending judgment and disaster so they would have an opportunity to reform their lives.
Zephaniah prophesied during the reign of King Josiah (640-609 B.C.), but probably just before Josiah's great reforms in 621 B.C. It was a time of turmoil and great fear — superpowers were on the move, gobbling up and enslaving smaller nations. Zephaniah saw disaster taking shape on the horizon and he interpreted this as the approaching judgment of God.
He was acutely aware of the sinfulness, injustice and callousness of his own nation and society. Worst of all, this was all wrapped up in a hypocritical cloak of religious piety and self-delusion. In other words, they had a lot in common with modern nations and societies.
He pleaded with the people to find their way once again — the way of God. The way did not demand superhuman feats of holiness, perfection or asceticism. He called for decency, honesty, humility and the desire to live an upright life.
A collective change of heart could avert disaster, but the prophet was under no illusions. He seemed to know that disaster would not be averted, but he injected a strong element of hope into the prophecy. These things may happen, but there would always be a core group he called the faithful remnant that would provide the seed for a reborn people and nation.
Societies, nations, kingdoms and empires rise, fall and pass away, only to be reborn. Those few that take the ways of God to heart and live them out will always be the foundation of the new.
That is why it is so vital, especially in a time of great uncertainty, chaos and fear, to remain focused on who we are and what we stand for.
Fidelity rather than perfection is what God asks and so much is at stake in our responses. Our decision each day to lead a righteous and godly life will have consequences for generations to come.
Paul followed in the same vein when he exhorted his community to consider their own calling. None of them was great by worldly standards and Paul made clear elsewhere in the letter that the previous lives of many were highly questionable, to say the least.
No matter — they were now in Christ and God was the source of their holiness and righteousness. There was no reason to feel proud, for it was the work of God. Paul's advice was to be grateful and continue on the path to which you have been called.
The quest for superhuman powers is a constant theme in popular literature and entertainment. Having obtained secret knowledge or extraordinary powers, the heroes become champions for justice, truth and goodness. How realistic is this? Not very, unless we want to consider a different approach.
The Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount have moved and inspired people for centuries, but seldom have they really been put into practice. They are often seen as hopelessly utopian and unrealistic. The few who have taken them to heart, however, have accomplished great things.
We can call to mind St. Francis, Gandhi, Mother Teresa or Martin Luther King. That is because the Beatitudes represent the spiritual principles at the core of God's universe. Properly used, they are powerful and effective tools for transformation. They provide the leverage with which the world can be moved.
Humility, non-violence, mercy, purity of heart, active peacemaking, empathy, a hunger and thirst for justice and righteousness, and a willingness to endure persecution for these things are a force that cannot be resisted or overcome.
The Beatitudes are the treasure and spiritual dynamism of our faith tradition. These life principles are all expressions of the one basic force that binds our universe together: love.
Our world will be healed only when we begin to take them seriously.

An un-putdownable thriller for fans of Uglies
When a crash kills their father and leaves them orphaned, Zel knows she needs to protect her sister, Dyl. But before Zel has a plan, Dyl is taken by strangers using bizarre sensory weapons, and Zel finds herself in a safe house for teens who aren't like any she's ever seen before—teens who shouldn't even exist. Using broken-down technology, her new friends' peculiar gifts, and her own grit, Zel must find a way to get her sister back from the kidnappers who think a powerful secret is encoded in Dyl's DNA.
A spiraling, intense, romantic story set in 2150—in a world of automatic cars, nightclubs with auditory ecstasy drugs, and guys with four arms—this is about the human genetic "mistakes" that society wants to forget, and the way that outcasts can turn out to be heroes.
Description taken from Goodreads.
Just so anyone reading this knows, this book is nothing like UGLIES by Scott Westerfeld. I repeat, CONTROL is nothing, nothing and nothing like UGLIES by Scott Westerfeld. Please do not believe it is.
If you were interested in this book at any one point in time, I would strongly encourage you to go read the XMen comics. Not a fan of comics? Maybe try Transparent by Natalie Whipple or The Rise of Renegade X by Chelsea Campbell. I would also strongly encourage you to read Uglies, but I would not recommend CONTROL.
Here's problem one: the hater, who just happens to be the main character. She hates on everyone. Her father, her younger sister, the people who just try to help her, and here's problem two: the only person she doesn't hate on is the biggest jerk on the planet. His name is Cy, and his wonderful, super amazing power is that he can regenerate skin fast enough to have a new tattoo every single day. He also seems to be an abusive sadist who fantasizes about gore.
I'm telling you, I can't make this stuff up. This is actually the guy.
It's a painting of a dismembered hand, fingers stretching to extremes, but cut off at the wrist, leaning against the wall. The one next to it shows a long bone, still smeared with blood, floating in the same pale blue void the hand is in.
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Problem number three: no world-building. Whatsoever. Whatever semblance of world-building exists entirely on the concept of suspended disbelief. You think the movies are bad? Read this book. Uniforms exist in every single state, for adults, and the sky isn't visible because there's a structure for growing plants because apparently there is now no farmland in Kansas, Iowa or Nebraska.
And Alaska is a separate country now.
Problem four: these so-called mutants with amazing powers have no place in society. They aren't feared, hated, envied, threatened, they simply exist. CONTROL tackles none of the social issues and questions that were brought up in the XMen comics and TRANSPARENT.
I just couldn't deal with CONTROL. It was an exhausting book to read and I didn't get anything I wished for. Zel hates on everyone around her as well as herself and there is 0 to no character growth in this story. Would not recommend. 1 star.

In a report from the Actuarial Profession, it was found that despite a significant decrease in accidents, personal injury claims had increased by over 18% over the recent years. So why are these rising and what impact are they having on insurance premiums?
In 2011 there were 11% fewer accidents reported than the previous year. This, you would think, is pretty good news for drivers and insurance companies alike. However, despite improved safety on the roads, there appears to be a disproportionate hike in the number of injuries being reported and claimed.
Ambulance chasers driving claims culture
One possible reason for this imbalance is the rise in the 'no win, no fee' claims culture. Whilst victims of crashes have been able to gain compensation for any injuries they sustain for many years, public awareness of law firms offering assistance has grown exponentially in recent times. Adverts can be seen on televisions, billboards and the Internet, all of which carry the same underlying message – where there's blame, there's a claim.
Some claims management companies (CMCs) even target claimants directly. Whilst the law has been tightened, including a ban on referral fees in personal injury cases, solicitors still appear to be able to secure personal details of those who have been involved in collisions to encourage them to make a claim. They can achieve this via texts, emails and unsolicited phone calls. Often referred to as 'ambulance chasing', this type of direct approach has coincided with the hike in claims.
So with the pressure to make claims increasing, it perhaps shouldn't come as a great surprise that more people are taking advantage of CMCs. However, this does have a negative impact on the wider public. After all, somebody has to pay for those claims, and in recent times this has been the policyholders.
Is whiplash increasing policy prices?
Insurance companies have borne the brunt of the compensation culture. Where they may previously have only had to cover the cost of repairs, they now have to pay for whiplash, trauma and time off work. Earlier last year it was announced that annual premiums had increased by an average of £130 in just 12 months (Source: Guardian, 2012). With accidents falling in the same period, these rises can largely be attributed to the rising cost of claims.
To quantify this a little, the Association of British Insurers announced that whiplash claims topped £2 billion in 2011, adding £90 to the cost of every motor insurance policy. That's over a fifth of the total cost of the average quote, which now stands at £440 (Source: All About Money).
Many point the finger of blame at Government legislation, including the Access to Justice Act 1999 (Source: Guardian, 2011 & Government Legislation, 1999). This was brought in to make it easier for people to gain legal advice without the need for subsidies from the state. However, it has subsequently opened the door to solicitors offering these 'no win, no fee' services, creating a commission-led compensation culture. With both parties able to earn significant sums from potentially minor injuries, policy holders are paying the price.
Initiatives such as the proposed ban on referral fees may reduce some claims. However it could also close the door on those who genuinely have cause for a claim. It's a fine line that legislators and insurance companies have to tread. If policy rates increase too much, then people may choose to do without a car entirely – reducing income from road tax and fuel. If claims keep increasing but cover remains the same, then insurers will feel even more pain. Therefore, finding a solution isn't likely to be quick or easy for motorists, insurance companies or the lawmakers.

text: St. John's Medical Center Now Offering 3-D Mammography 6-Jul-2016 Beginning today, St. John's Medical Center is pleased to provide 3-D mammograms for the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. "The state-of-the-art 3D technology gives radiologists and physicians the best images available, which in turn gives patients peace of mind," said St. John's communications officer Karen Connelly. "With 3-D mammography, we will be able to find invasive cancers earlier, when they are smaller and easier to treat," said St. John's radiologist Sean Haling, MD. "In addition, there are fewer false negatives. A negative 3-D result is much more reassuring, especially for women with denser breast tissue." The new mammography equipment, the Hologic Selenia® Dimensions® system, creates a 3-dimensional image of the breast, enabling radiologists to more clearly see through overlapping tissue to detect cancers. The 3-D technology, also called tomosynthesis, provides for earlier detection of breast cancers (up to a 40% increase in detecting invasive breast cancer, compared to 2-D mammography), clearer views of lesions, and a reduction in the number of additional views required. The new system replaces the Hologic 2-D mammography equipment St. John's had used for several years. The new system works like this: an X-ray arm sweeps in a slight arc over the breast, taking multiple images. A computer then converts the images into a stack of thin layers, allowing the radiologist to review the breast tissue one layer at a time. 3-D mammography is recommended for women of all ages and breast densities. St. John's continues to use the MammoPad cushioning system to create a softer mammogram experience. Integrated into this 3-D imaging technology is the upright Affirm stereotactic breast biopsy system, which easily targets lesions, including those visible only in tomosynthesis images; offers shorter and more comfortable patient procedures; and reduces the patient radiation dose, because fewer exposures are required. The St. John's Medical Center Auxiliary, the Teton Pines Women's Golf Association, and individual donors to the St. John's Hospital Foundation helped make the purchase of the new imaging system possible. Even with the upgraded mammography service, St. John's has not increased the fees it charges for a mammogram. Free mammograms will continue to be available to women unable to afford one, through the Women's Health Care Fund of the St. John's Hospital Foundation and other programs. Contact the St. John's Hospital Foundation at 739-7512 for more information. St. John's recommends that you talk to your physician about recommended breast health screenings. To schedule a mammogram, call 307 739 7531. ### Media contact: Karen Connelly, 307.739.7380, email@example.com ABOUT ST.
