There are numerous street modifications that can alter the handling, speed, and appearance of a vehicle. It is the electronic brain of your auto enabling for a greater and quicker handle of the boost. So do the modifications under to only a single auto and a single side of the track and see the distinction. Download RACV's Keeping Mobile brochure for additional information about modifying a car for drivers and passengers with a disability. If you bring your track day car to a race weekend on a trailer, you've got practically nothing to be concerned about.
They operate by balancing the forces that are placed on one side of your vehicle to be distributed to the other side. Specific modifications may possibly be deemed illegal by your state authority, so it pays to check ahead of you drive to avoid choosing up an undesirable fine. When it comes to new vehicle warranties, automotive owners and enthusiasts have a really important lobbying body on their side, namely SEMA (the Specialty Gear Industry Association).
In some situations an off- and on-road driving assessment by a driver educated Occupational Therapist could be needed and in such circumstances the want for customised car modifications and/or equipment will be assessed. Feel about your vehicle's security and exactly where it's kept overnight, for instance, and if your car only does a limited mileage, make sure your insurer knows that. The alterations can be created to boost efficiency, aesthetics, or be purely functional.
What operators do is start with a template for your automobile and hook up added sensors into your car's computer. Even though switching insurers can save funds it's worth remembering that they might take a diverse stance on modifications. Either way, what this vehicle deserves is a Wide Load" banner and lead automobile, or else you might just get gobbled up in these punch-out rims. Even though most radios do not violate any laws, radar devices are illegal in several states.
And there are no limits on modifications or how considerably you drive, even though modified autos are very carefully underwritten and extent of use plays a role in determining your rate. It would be impossible for Hagerty to estimate values on customized cars, because each and every customized car is a special collection of components. Be cautious even though, your motor only has some considerably torque/ energy so if you gear it to very the motor will not be in a position to handle it and your auto will not make it up any slopes or worst yet not move at all. Attempting to enhance performance on a poorly maintained automobile could be disastrous.

Attempted kidnapping suspect sought by police
A look at crime statistics for Oregon. Statesman Journal
Oregon State Police officials are searching for a man who attempted to kidnap a 20-year-old woman on Interstate 5 early Thursday morning.
A woman who ran out of gas was waiting for her father next to her disabled car on Interstate 5 southbound near the Market Street on-ramp when an unknown man stopped and offered assistance around 4 a.m.
The man grabbed her arm after she declined assistance and tried pulling her toward his truck, according to Oregon State Police.
Another woman driving past slowed down and yelled out of her window to help the woman, allowing her to escape the man's grip.
The man let go of the woman, ran to his dark blue or black 4x4 pickup and drove away.
Oregon State Police is asking the public's help in identifying the man.
He is described as being a white man with brown hair, between 5'9" to 5'10" tall with a medium build and roughly 200 pounds.
He was wearing a dark-colored plain t-shirt, jeans and athletic-type shoes.
His pickup was described as being "beat up."
Anyone who has any information about the suspect or saw this incident should contact Oregon State Police Northern Command Center at (503) 375-3555 or *OSP from your mobile phone and reference Oregon State Police case number SP18-048588.

Cars sitting unsold on your lots cost you money. You need to bring in serious buyers, but you can't just wait for them to walk in.
Today's buyers start their shopping on the Internet before they even walk into a showroom. By the time they walk in, they know what they want and how much they will pay. If you don't get their attention before this, you may never see them walk in to your showroom. So how can you reach this buyer before another dealer does?
These buyers are no longer looking at newspaper ads. You have to find and qualify buyers and reach out to them wherever they are hanging out. Some will be on social media, others can be reached on emails, smartphones, or in a grocery store. To be sure you reach them all, you need to use all available delivery channels. That is why you need an one-stop solution provider that integrates all these delivery channels into one seamless delivery system.
Focus on what you do best
Many dealers try to install software on their systems, and hire resources or multiple vendors to send out emails and to social media, advertising, and send out flyers. Many times, there is no coordination among all these functions.
The problem is that dealers are trying to deal with something that is not their core business function. A dealership needs to focus on one thing and one thing only: selling cars. Dealers are not in the business of dealing with software installs and related headaches.
What you should do is outsource all these functions to a solution provider that can handle it for you. You need one vendor that can manage everything without depending on outside resources. The last thing you need to hear is that a particular issue is not vendor X's problem, it's vendor Y's problem. You should have a one-point solution.
You know your business. You know the kind of buyer you want, and what kind of deals to throw and when. Your marketing can prepare a solid strategy, but to do it effectively and efficiently, you need a solution provider to make it happen. Working hand in hand with your marketing, that provider should evolve a marketing strategy, craft marketing campaigns, identify and contact buyers, and then bring in the serious ones.
So, who can you call? How many providers are out there that have both solid technology and a complete solution, so you can focus on what you do best?
Where a solution provider comes in
Quality all-in-one providers work with you to hone the marketing strategy that will bring the serious buyers (hot leads) to you. Based on the criteria you give them, they find qualified buyers, craft a compelling message for them, and reach out to them on all the delivery channels. Using email opens and behavior tracking, they pin down the serious buyers and deliver them to your sales staff.
With this type of solution, you need no installation and hardly any training. You just need to provide the provider with your basic marketing content and current deals. These are converted into email messages, landing pages, social media postings, blogs, flyers, and mobile app campaigns. Solution providers work with you at every step to keep you in the loop. They launch your campaigns on every delivery channel, gather the intelligence, provide the reporting and make the leads available on your cell phones for easy calling. Unlike many other vendors, the leads are generated exclusive for you. All you have to do is call them.
They constantly review the campaigns with you so they can make them better. Their process is simple, effective, and delivers. With them, your cost of bringing in leads can be five or six times less than with other methods. Response rates for your campaigns should have significant impact, so your sales team doesn't have to scrounge for wreak leads.
The result? Working with an all-in-one solution provider, your marketing engine will be firing on all cylinders. With power like that, your marketing machine will be off to the races, and so will your sales.

CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2007:0095-01
Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other through use of symmetric encryption and a trusted third party, the KDC.
A flaw was found in the username handling of the MIT krb5 telnet daemon (telnetd). A remote attacker who can access the telnet port of a target machine could log in as root without requiring a password. (CVE-2007-0956)
Note that the krb5 telnet daemon is not enabled by default in any version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In addition, the default firewall rules block remote access to the telnet port. This flaw does not affect the telnet daemon distributed in the telnet-server package.
For users who have enabled the krb5 telnet daemon and have it accessible remotely, this update should be applied immediately.
Whilst we are not aware at this time that the flaw is being actively exploited, we have confirmed that the flaw is very easily exploitable.
This update also fixes two additional security issues:
Buffer overflows were found which affect the Kerberos KDC and the kadmin server daemon. A remote attacker who can access the KDC could exploit this bug to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the KDC or kadmin server processes. (CVE-2007-0957)
A double-free flaw was found in the GSSAPI library used by the kadmin server daemon. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 contain checks within glibc that detect double-free flaws. Therefore, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 successful exploitation of this issue can only lead to a denial of service. Applications which use this library in earlier releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux may also be affected. (CVE-2007-1216)
All users are advised to update to these erratum packages which contain a backported fix to correct these issues.
Red Hat would like to thank MIT and iDefense for reporting these vulnerabilities.
Merged security bulletin from advisories: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-April/013649.html
Affected packages: krb5-devel krb5-libs krb5-server krb5-workstation

MURDER ON THE EMPIRE EXPRESS part one! Queen Industries new Trans-Pacific Railway is an undersea vehicle that symbolizes world peacewhich makes its maiden voyage the perfect place for the Ninth Circle to stage a high-profile assassination. Luckily, Green Arrow, Black Canary and John Diggle are on board as outlaw stowaways!
Overall, the GREEN ARROW run has been one of my favorites in the DC REBIRTH. Percy has been consistently great as a writer and all of the artists involved have done well to maintain the tone of each individual story. Next issue will likely wrap up the Arrow team's espionage adventure on the Trans-Pacific railway. As long as the grounded and gritty street level hero can continue to deliver good comics, we will continue to enjoy them! Read Full Review
My only complaint with this issue is we have a case where Team Arrow, are framed at the end, although it is painfully obvious it is not them. This is a minor complaint that will no doubt be solved in the next issue, however Green Arrow was framed in the last main arc, and has to tackle the police in the next arc, it seems framing seems to be related with Olly, almost as much as the island is. However Ben Percy continues to do it in ways that it has not got stale so far, leaving much for the readers to still remain intrigued. Read Full Review
Murder on the Empire Express is a lovely adaptation of the classic Agatha Christie murder mystery, only with superheroes, foreign dignitaries, and boxing glove arrows. Read Full Review
Whilst the story seemed to chop the fact that Oliver's a fugitive from Seattle PD AND lost his company in favour of a desert island story, it flowed seamlessly into the political spy thriller that we see inGreen Arrow #10. We'll give the writers credit, they know how to keep this story as fast paced as possible. It barely stops to catch a breath before running and leaping into another dangerous situation. It seems like they'll never get back to Seattle at this rate. The issue is action packed, and gives Black Canary a brilliant place to shine, it looks like the Green Arrow is back to his usual level of brilliance. Read Full Review
Since the setup is too good to rush through in one setting, there's a cliffhanger on this one. Maybe next issue, Percy will work in some Snowpiercer elements to really amp up the fun. Read Full Review
I mentioned in my review of the previous issue that it felt like this series was running out of steam after an impressively strong start. Well, Im happy to report that this issue marks a welcome return to form, and that Percy and Ferreyras energetic, vibrant take on the character hits you like a Boxing Glove Arrow to the face. Its not flawless by any means, but it is a hell of a lot of fun, and if this trend continues is definitely worth a couple of your hard earned quid every fortnight. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a fun issue. It has a great concept by Percy with some cool moments for all three characters to shine. And the art is fantastic especially the coloring. I recommend reading this issue. Read Full Review
Although awkward in parts (like just how exactly did Dinah manage to brand the expensive cocktail dress in a handful of minutes?), there's definitely some fun to be had here in the heroes' struggle to board the train and their search for the assassin. The unique locale certain gives the issue an interesting slant, especially now that Ollie, Dinah, and Diggle are trapped aboard with angry passengers, guards, and an escaped assassin, without any way to escape. Worth a look. Read Full Review
Ben Percy starts another two part story and I already wish it was longer. Not because I like it, but because it needed more setup and explanation. I like the concept of murder mystery on a train full of dignitaries, but without any background, it falls flat. I did love Juan Ferreyra's art, but in the end, I can't really recommend this issue. Read Full Review
This is an average superhero story with an espionage angle that suits the character. The art pops though and it'll make it worth the price of admission alone for most! Read Full Review
This issue continues a strong series with a fast-paced plot, great art that emphasizes and elevates the venue of an underwater train plus a home run splash page, and the best dynamic of its superhero trio so far.
I still have been enjoying the Green Arrow comic, but some issues, like this one, can get a bit convoluted in it's message. I understand the Oliver is known for his social justice actions, but at times it seems out of place and can detract from the momentum of the story. I still enjoyed most of the issue and will continue reading.
Story: 7.5, Writing: 8.5, Art: 9.5, Total: 8.5 (the boxing glove arrow!)
Seems like the honeymoon phase with Rebirth is over, this story really reverts back to status quo. Not saying it's terrible but really the glow of Rebirth was gonna wear off eventually. That Black Canary splash page tho...
It's better than last issue. It was fast paced - a little too fast for the art to catch up with it. The homage to Murder on The Orient Express is fair - not sure how BC's cry didn't damage the train or the (intriguing) Trans-Pacific tube that would have been a lot more 'murders'. Odd that they both seemed to leave Diggle hanging too. It was a nice surprise to see Eddie back but discouraging that he's been relugated to evil assassin.

More Viaduct Concerns
Posted by Hamish under Uncategorized
1 Comment
At the last Council meeting, there were many motions on bike issues, including the killing of the Bloor/Danforth EA and the Jarvis St. lanes etc.
Less noted, and less reacted to, were the surprise proposals to place physical separations along the existing Bloor bike lanes east of Sherbourne St. and the Viaduct lanes physical separations as part of the package to appear sophisticated and bike-friendly with separated lanes, lobbied for by the Cyclists Union.
This placement and selection has some smell of politics instead of better biking. Only about half of the separated lanes pushed for actually got support from staff, and to fill in some of the gap, it seems that the existing Bloor/Viaduct lanes were selected to fill in the gap as, to quote the report, 'no traffic or parking impacts would occur" i.e. these separations wouldn't actually bother any motorist since few vehicles actually stop in these bike lanes, the whole roadway being a corridor with bike lanes (thankfully!).
But physical separations here may actually hurt biking, physically and literally, even though it has a lot of appeal from a theoretical perspective. Even though the report says there has to be adequate space for the separations, the politics over-ride again the standards and we're getting these separations. The new Ottawa Laurier lane has a lane width of 1.8M but in some parts of these Bloor lanes, there's squeezing to 1.2M and most of it is 1.5M, with less of that usable in parts because of bad road or drainage.
The physical separations will likely stop most passing of slower cyclists, yet there are real disparities of speed between us along this corridor. Some parts are not conducive to passing e.g. eastbound Parliament to Castle Frank because it is a tight space with speeding artillery. The new width of lane on the Viaduct, done about a year ago and remaining a true improvement for us, does let us pass, which helps us all. It's so much better, thank you all!!
So why not use colour instead of separations? Now we know that it is possible to put colour down in the Laurier Ave. bike lane, and gee, there are blue markings on the Goodman trail, and Brampton mall parking lots have handicapped spots marked with blue, maybe we could finally react to the "innovative" use of paint as noted in the 10-year-old Bike Plan in areas identical to the Don Valley exit ramp?
But alack, here in Fordoronto, any colour as long as its black is what we get. We get consulted in the "evaluation" of the change, not the change itself.
There are million$ for paths in parks, nada for colour, nor actually doing that little bit of Bloor that is in the Bike Plan that would extend the Bloor bike lanes over to Church St., which I'm pretty sure will cost about the same amount as what's now Council-approved. And beyond that, why don't we have separations along College St. between Bay and Spadina, where they are truly needed?
Maybe if enough cyclists fuss about this, this Council approval of bike facilities can join up with lots of other Council approval of bike things – undone!
We also need basic road repairs and maintenance (lighting too) ahead of gold-plating something done more to make the Fordists and the CU look good, and then we need to have connectivity e.g. Bloor to Church ahead of this gold-plating.
And maybe if we can't get more control over the roads and our well-being, we need a divorce, as "amanglemation" ain't working that well.

Fans wrung their hands five years ago as the best pro golfers scored low in early rounds of the U.S. Open on the North Course at Olympia Fields Country Club. With Medinah Country Club not the challenge it once was, it appeared the Chicago area no longer had a grand, Open-worthy golf course.
Course Critic: Olympia Fields tends an Open contender
Fans wrung their hands five years ago as the best pro golfers scored low in early rounds of the U.S. Open on the North Course at Olympia Fields Country Club. With Medinah Country Club not the challenge it once was, it appeared the Chicago area no longer had a grand, Open-worthy golf course.
Then again, maybe there is a future Open course here, in an unexpected place.
Members at the private Olympia Fields, open to the public for lessons and charity events, have lavished substantial investment on their 18-hole South Course, updating and expanding the historic 1918 Tom Bendelow design. Nearly 600 yards was added to the length, bringing it to a major league 7,200 yards. Florida-based architect Steve Smyers restored the deep sculpting to bunkers that had been allowed to go flat and dull over time. He reconfigured greens and tee boxes, improved drainage systems and even moved some fairways.
The result, a monstrously tough challenge that remains true to its origins, ranks as one of the finest course makeovers around Chicago in recent years. The first two massive par 4s, one 459 yards and the other 482 yards, make it clear from the start that this club aims to regain national stature. No. 5 is a 243-yard par 3 that might be stretched even longer for tournament conditions. It would defy even the best pros from taking aim at birdie.
At the same time, the middle tees, at 6,555 yards, and the forward markers, at 5,500 yards, allow the ordinary player to enjoy the forest-lined fairways and sharply undulating greens best suited to big-hitting low-handicappers. It's hard to find fault with any of Mr. Smyers' decisions. He's fashioned No. 3, for instance, into an all-new 182-yard par 3 uphill to a fortress-like green that slopes both right to left and back to front. At No. 4, a par 5 of 543 yards, he nudged the fairway left, installed a fresh set of fairway traps on the right side, then added a big trap 40 yards in front of the green to catch wobbly lay-ups. New mounds have been sculpted in many places.
Private clubs like Olympia Fields are accessible to the daily-fee golfer at a price. The TaylorMade Performance Lab at the club, which uses high-tech computers to fit clubs and fix swings, is open to the public, at a stiff $400 for two hours.
Charity functions feature golf on Mondays, when the club is otherwise closed. The Evans Scholars summer outing is Monday (call the Western Golf Assn. at 847/724-4600) and the Big Shoulders Fund Golf Classic is Aug. 11 (call 312/751-8337).
Olympia Fields' initiation fee, at $50,000, and annual dues and fees, at less than $11,000, cost less than clubs of comparable rank. Membership, at 500 families, has been undersubscribed lately, which means no waiting list to get in.

Take control of your life. Play it cautiously with the elders, but remember the well used expression here on the forum:
"The only power they have over you is that which you allow"
welcome on board SK
Welcome SK!
Your experience resonates with mine on many points.
There will be good and bad days, but you are in a struggle that leads to freedom.
Best wishees!
It's really encouraging to hear more and more are escaping the jail cells. It doesn't seem the escape can be made without any trauma. You will succeed in dealing with it.
Welcome to your new life without the shackles and chains.
Welcome to the forum, Silent Knight.
Yes, this is a great forum and it has helped me in many ways too. Each of us are on our own personal journey, some further down the road than others, to becoming free from the shackles of the org.
Wishing you all the best for your journey and looking forward to reading your postings.
Welcome to the forum fellow weaker one, mentally diseased, cowardly, ungreatful of heritage, satanic apostate! 😂 Seriously, a warm welcome to freedom and the beginning of a much better life!
Please understand this.....on this forum we all speak the same language.....your language. We hear you.
On this forum we are all traveling away from the so called 'truth'. Many if not all of us have walked in your shoes ........we were where you are now.
Between us we have thousands of years of experience which will be available to you.
Do be careful with your true feelings at this time until you put considerable distance between you and the cult.
Welcome. Is your wife aware that you are "aware"?
Hi Silent Knight - welcome! It was interesting to read your post. For years we knew something was very wrong, but we kept going as we did not know what was going on. We needed the facts and our eyes opened to get out. I appreciate the forum too! Welcome!
Hello and welcome! I also have and still do sometimes suffer this depression you speak of. I sometimes think being a born in- there was this whole growing old thing that we weren't taught was a normal part of life. This was something that was supposed to be learned and accepted as a child not as a grown adult. I also think the pressure to "return to Jehovah" without being able to fully be up front and honest as to why we can't brings me down. Idk- just my 1 cent...😑

Denley: A 65-storey tower in Ottawa? Council should think twice
Ottawa Council spent months dickering over the look of an extension to the Château Laurier without reaching a clear conclusion. Now, it wants to approve the tallest building in the city's history in back-to-back meetings next week.
A conglomerate of development companies proposes to build towers of 65, 56 and 27 storeys on property adjacent to the new Bayview LRT station. The development will include office and retail space, as well as 1,241 residential units.
The tallest of the towers will be more than twice as high as the city's largest residential building, the 32-storey Minto Metropole. City council has previously approved 45-storey and 55-storey condo buildings near Dow's Lake.
The proposed development at 900 Albert St. is, quite literally, a big deal. Somerset Ward Coun. Catherine McKenney describes it as the most important planning application of this term of council. Fred Waks, CEO of development partner Trinity, calls it, "the kickoff for what's going to happen for all of LeBreton."
The proposal from Trinity and its corporate partners has distinct positives, but there are also questions that need better answers than the city staff report gives.
First, the positives. The site is located where the O-Train line meets the new LRT. Intensification there makes sense, as transit serves those going downtown and those going south. Approving the plan would also bring to an end a 14-year saga. The city used to own the land but thought it could never be developed because of major pipes running under it. The city sold the land to the National Capital Commission, which then flipped it to a developer. The issue dragged on for years, with the city doing little to create a resolution. Finally, the property was sold to the group that has it now.
That said, councillors should think twice before they approve a 65-storey tower. The city's urban design review panel says the "proposed increase to the permitted height is incredibly significant, with considerable implications on the city's skyline, as well as on views encompassing important national symbols."
What's more, a city secondary plan approved in 2013 set a height limit of 30 storeys for this site. We knew then that it would be at a transit junction. What changed?
The city's official plan allows "limited increases" in height in exchange for "community benefits." It would be difficult to call 35 storeys a limited increase, and the community benefits are paltry. The city will get $975,000 for a bit of affordable housing and part of the cost of a future footbridge. The developer of the previous tallest condo provided $3.4 million. It doesn't seem like the city is getting a good deal this time, especially when it provided a brownfield grant of $8.3 million, a sum that will largely offset the $10-million cost of moving those troublesome city pipes.
The Albert Street project is being touted as a transit-oriented development but it has 1,059 parking spaces. Those will serve office and commercial, too, but even the developer says it might be high.
Coun. McKenney, who supports development at the site but questions the height, also rightly suggests that the new development should be better integrated into the surrounding neighbourhood. It has loading docks facing the community.
The Albert Street proposal is not just a ward issue. As Trinity's Waks says, it is the first step in building "another downtown." As such, councillors should give the plan careful scrutiny and give people across the city an opportunity to evaluate it.
As it stands, this project risks being a vertical island of people, not part of a community. Waks says the company wants it to be a landmark, but sheer size won't accomplish that.
Councillors would be wise to make sure they have good answers to all the questions the proposal raises, even if means putting off a decision until September.

Realizing that music was the mission he had been longing for, he promised to use his talents to continue serving and is donating all of the proceeds from his EP, STAND YOUR GROUND to the Lone Survivor Foundation
"Serving my country was one of the greatest privileges of my life; it was an honor to be among the small percentage that are able to experience it," said Sterling. "However, for years after the military, I was lost and looking for a mission. Lone Survivor Foundation helped by allowing me to redirect my focus and realize that affecting others with my music was absolutely bigger than myself."

In Shifting Gears: Technology, Literature, Culture in Modernist America, Cecelia Tichi traces the change in metaphors, images, and methods of composition used by American writers from the 1890s to the 1920s as evidence of a change in worldview, a "shifting of gears" from a romantic view of the world to a mechanical one. Incorporating a wide variety of texts, including popular journalism, ads, kids' books, westerns, medical textbooks, government publications, modernist poetry, novels, and books on technology, not to mention toys, movies, and buildings, Tichi argues that the new "gear and girder" technology altered the ways writers used language – and that by adopting the tools, logic, and aesthetic of their surroundings, Machine Age writers made technology legible.
This new mechanical writing style differed from the older romantic style in a couple of key ways:
- it emphasized identical, interchangeable parts, arranged not according to some intrinsic, holistic logic but to an artificial, rational and efficient scheme
- it focused not on an emotional relationship with surfaces but on a rational, content-based understanding of internal structures
- it celebrated the human power to manipulate and transform the environment
- it figured the writer as an engineer rather than an artist

Leaked document reveals how much Neymar will really cost PSG
It still feels weird to say that Neymar is a Paris Saint-Germain player, rather than Barcelona.
Heading into the summer transfer window, no one could have predicted that the Brazilian would leave the Camp Nou.
Yet that's exactly what he did. On August 3, Neymar completed a £198 million move to the French capital to become the world's most expensive player.
And the reason? To escape Lionel Messi's shadow, of course.
Neymar aspires to become the world's best player, which he realised would never happen as long as he was playing alongside arguably football's greatest.
And so he took a risk and joined PSG to become their star player, not to mention their highest earner at €600,000-per-week (£537,000).
Indeed, the only player in world football that earns more than Neymar is Carlos Tevez (£634,000-per-week) in China.
It hasn't taken long for Neymar to make his mark at PSG, both positively and negatively. In six games, the Brazil international has scored five goals and assisted a further five.
But his goalscoring heroics have been somewhat overshadowed this week by his feud with striker Edinson Cavani over who is free-kick and penalty taker.
Last weekend, Neymar and Cavani squabbled over who should take a free-kick and later argued about a penalty, which the latter eventually missed.
PSG know that Neymar will be worth every penny of his world-record transfer fee and wages but, according to Football Leaks and the Mirror, he's actually earning more than we think.
German outlet Der Spiegel have released a document that shows Neymar rakes in £600,000-per-week, not £537,000-per-week.
To put that crazy amount into perspective, the 25-year-old makes £88,000-per-day.
The document also reveals that Neymar's £198 million fee will rise over the course of his five-year contract in Ligue 1.
It turns out that PSG will actually end up paying Barcelona £214 million, which means the current world record isn't entirely accurate.
For that kind of money, one thing Neymar must improve is his attitude. Messi didn't make his way to the top by acting up when he doesn't get his way, and neither will Neymar.News Now - Sport News

THE CATS OF SAVONE by David-Michael Harding is a collection of eight short stories for busy people.
Savone is a hard-core prison. The cat comes to live at the prison. Why read a story about a cat that comes to live at a prison? The truth is, a story about a cat and the effect the cat has on hard-core prisoners may not be enough to draw the reader in. What does pull the reader into the story and then weaves a spell around them is the author's writing. The writing captivates you and all of a sudden the cat and its role have you within its grasp and the story reaches your heart.
The Cats of Savone is an exemplary collection of stories from the pen of historical fiction author David-Michael Harding. Eight short stories and novellas make up his first installment in The Completely Abridged Series – Short Novels for Busy People. The title story is the PEN International Winner, The Cats of Savone, which follows a pregnant cat beneath a mammoth steel gate into the exercise yard of the Savone Correctional Facility. The hardened convicts in the maximum security prison adopt the cat as much as she adopts them. But an accident in the prison leads to murder and a host of tough choices for tough men – inmates and guards.
David-Michael Harding writes in such a way that the reader becomes enchanted with the story. He uses the cat and the affect that a kind and gentle animal can have on hard-core criminals; murderers. These animals bring out not only fierce tenderness and loyalty, but also the anger and violence that each of these men harbor down inside; and how the death of an innocent little cat can cause deep enough rage to make a man kill in revenge.
THE CATS OF SAVONE is a story about a cat in a prison. There are also more stories in the book and the review, while not mentioning each individual story, is an overall rating of each. The writing is outstanding, and my rating is five stars…

Downfall is the third and final book in the Intervention series written by New York Times best-sellling inspirational author Terri Blackstock. Though I have not read the preceding works, I thought Downfall was an easy and suspenseful read! I finished it within two days, and am eager to see beginnings of this gripping saga.
A girl named Emily Covington is the protagonist throughout the series. In the beginning she was a drug addict, but she's two years clean in Downfall. Despite her sobriety, her family fears she's on the brink of a relapse. Emily's car getting blown up and a murder of a neighbor doesn't help much either. In light of these incidents, Emily thinks she has an idea of who the murderer is, though her hunch isn't taken very seriously—it's based off the plotline of the Hitchcock movie Strangers on a Train. She takes it upon herself to warn the next victim of potential danger, only to find herself pinned to that murder later on.
Blackstock was inspired to write the Intervention series through her own experiences of being a mother to a drug addict. She says writing it was therapeutic for herself and even her readers. Though the series has been given favorable reviews and accolades, nothing matters to her more than receiving letters from addicts and families of addicts saying they were touched by Downfall, Vicious Cycle, and Intervention. If you or someone you know is facing a problem with drugs , I encourage you consider reading this series to find comfort, hope and a way out.

The firm commenced on 1 July 1995 when Denis Farrar, Olivia Gesini and Jim Dunn formed a partnership together with an associate lawyer, Ann Northcote, and five support staff. They established a premises in the Prudential Building, on the corner of London Circuit & University Avenue, Canberra City. Due to growth, in April 1997 FGD moved to larger premises in the Colonial Mutual Building, 17-21 University Avenue, Canberra.
In December 2007, three of the partners opened an affiliated specialist superannuation and estate law firm called 'Certus Law', and in 2016 Certus Law merged with Farrar Gesini & Dunn to become Farrar Gesini Dunn, the firm's current brand.
In 2008, Consensus Family Lawyers was added as a secondary brand, emphasising alternative means of dispute resolution. Consensus was absorbed back into the FGD brand in 2012.
In 2011, the firm opened its first interstate office in Melbourne, headed by Sarah Keenan.
In November 2014, the Canberra office relocated to the current premises in Rudd Street and became one of the first legal firms in Australia to embrace a paperless activity based workspace.
In 2017 the firm opened premises in Sydney.

Benghazi attack deliberate & linked to al-Qaeda
This is a significant turnaround of the previous version of the attack coming from the Obama Administration that this was a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam video.
The attack resulted in the death of four Americans including the US Ambassador to Libya.
"As we learned more about the attack, we revised our initial assessment to reflect new information indicating that it was a deliberate and organized terrorist attack carried out by extremists," Shawn Turner, the spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence, said in a statement.
"It remains unclear if any group or person exercised overall command and control of the attack, and if extremist group leaders directed their members to participate. However, we do assess that some of those involved were linked to groups affiliated with or sympathetic to al-Qaeda," he said.
In the unusual statement 17 days after the terrorist attack on US personnel and facilities in Benghazi, Turner said the Intelligence Community launched a comprehensive effort to determine the circumstances surrounding the assault and to identity the perpetrators and reviewed all available intelligence to determine if there might be follow-on attacks against US people or facilities in Libya or elsewhere.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack on the Benghazi Consulate, the statement said, there was information that led the intelligence community to assess that the attack began spontaneously following protests earlier that day at US Embassy in Cairo.
"We continue to make progress, but there remain many unanswered questions. As more information becomes available our analysis will continue to evolve and we will obtain a more complete understanding of the circumstances surrounding the terrorist attack," he added.
DNI, Turner said, continues to support the ongoing FBI investigation and the State Department review of the Benghazi terrorist attack, providing the full capabilities and resources of the Intelligence Community to those efforts.
The DNI statement comes days after the US Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, had termed the attack as a result of the spontaneous protest.
Rice's defended her earlier statement given to Sunday talk shows.
"Ambassador Rice's comments were prefaced at every turn with a clear statement that an FBI investigation was under way that would provide the definitive accounting of the events that took place in Benghazi," her spokeswoman Erin Pelton said in a statement.
Following the DNI statement, Congressman Peter King, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, demanded resignation of Rice. "I think we have to show that there is a price to be paid for such a gross misstatement of reality," King told CNN in an interview.
Senator John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, defended Rice's statement.
"I'm deeply disturbed by efforts to find the politics instead of finding the facts in this debate. Everyone who cares about the five fallen Americans in Benghazi would do well to take a deep breath about what happened and allow Secretary Clinton's proactive, independent investigation to proceed. I'm particularly troubled by calls for Ambassador Rice?s resignation," he said.
"She is a remarkable public servant for whom the liberation of the Libyan people has been a personal issue and a public mission. She's an enormously capable person who has represented us at the United Nations with strength and character," Kerry said in a statement.

Call For More Bibliobloggers...
I want to say something about my last two posts. It is making me think about the great concept that is blogging...
Why should people blog? Let's just take what has recently happened around this request for info on Jewish and early Christian literature.
- People should blog because its a good way to share info about what you love. Jim at PaleoJudaica probably didn't create his entry in response to me just because he needed to get more exercise for his fingers. I bet you he did that because he loves the subject matter. And because he shared what he cares about, I learned a good deal. I appreciate the fact that he did that.
- People should blog because it is a great way to spead news about interesting stuff. I learn about new things in technology and biblical studies all the time because of blogs. Now, I hear a lot more about technology stuff. Why? Because more techies blog than biblical studies folks. It would be nice to change that...
- One of the most important things about blogging is that it helps create relationships. I have now met a number of interesting people because of my blog. At SBL I was able to meet Paul Nikkel, Stephen Carlson, Roy Brown, and Ken Penner because of my blog. I have also been able to meet others through email or through their blog posts. Ruben Gomez, Tim Bulkeley, James Davila, et al. were complete strangers to me just a few months ago. Now I look forward to hearing what they're going to put on their blogs. I appreciate what they have to say. As a matter of fact, there's only one blog that I follow closely just because I'd heard to him before: NT Gateway by Goodacre. I've read most of his The Case Against Q, and so want to here more from him. But that's turned out to be the exception, not the rule. You meet lots of interesting people through blogging.
And there's more to this last one. What will happen when I go to do PhD work? Will I meet someone through the blogosphere that I'll want to study under? Or will an aspiring teacher find a contact that he can use to get a teaching job? Maybe so. We must, of course, try to keep from saying anything incredibly stupid. If I were to argue, for example, that the NT documents were written in the 8th century by monks who wrote everything in Pig Latin and back-translated them into Greek just so they could found a new religion around the worship of hamsters, I would immediately lose all credibility and no one would ever read my blog or think I was worthy of being a PhD student at their school. So I need to keep that in mind. But you see the point. We all know (or should know) how important relationships are in any field of study, and biblical studies is no different.
One more thing. Here are two people I would like to see blog: Ken Penner and Arne Halbakken. You don't think you have enough interesting stuff to say in a blog? I bet you do. I appreciate your emails, and would love to see more of what you think out on the web.
Enough for now! I've got to go do some tagging for NET GEMS!
[Update: Just a few minutes later]
So...do you want to blog? I bet there are lots of folks who just read the biblioblogs. I bet lots of you have interesting stuff to say. And if you do blog, don't be ashamed to tell some bloggers that you're doing it. If you're new to blogging and you want people to know you exist, just send me an email. It's not a vain thing to tell people you blog!
2004-12-10 08:21:00
I like what you write. I find a lot of Blogs very boring, such as personal diaries. Dont get me wrong, those are good, they just dont do me any good. I like to learn and create "BlogBuds".
Eric Sowell 2004-12-10 08:47:00
Well thanks. I really appreciate it. I enjoyed yours as well and have you on my feed reader. Keep blogging!

Meridian High School safety C.J. Hampton already knew he was one of the top players in Mississippi heading into Nike's The Opening last week. After compiling a SPARQ rating of 103.45 posting the camp's 13th best 40-time at 4.48, he returns home knowing he can match up with any player in the nation.
"It was a good trip, I enjoyed it a lot," Hampton said. "I got to play against some of the top guys nationally, and it was good to measure up my talents against some of the other top guys."
The Ole Miss commit said he enjoyed getting to work with NFL coaches and players, particularly singling out Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman and former University of Alabama great Dee Milliner.
"Getting to work with those guys really helps me out a lot," Hampton said. "They teach you the way to play the game."
Though he played free safety at the camp, Hampton was able to work with Milliner during one-on-one drills and picked up a few pointers from the first-round corner.
"The thing he told me was to be patient," Hampton said. "When a guy comes off the line, there's no point in being all physical. You just got to be patient and let him come to you, then you make a move. He was just telling me a lot of things to make the game a little easier.
"Just hearing him tell me and seeing how he does stuff, by him showing me that it allows me to bring it back home and show the other guys."
Hampton said that advice came in handy, especially when up against Rivals 100 members Malachi Dupre and KD Cannon.
"They are really quick off the line," Hampton said. "They can run a five-yard route and will have you think they are running a go route because they are going so hard. It was a lot different from other guys I have gone up against."
On top of leading his Meridian Wildcats to a 6A state championship this year, Hampton said he has another goal –– earn an elusive fifth star.
"I'm not far," Hampton said. "Every guy out here is looking for improvement, and if I keep playing my game, the fifth star will come."
Though he is currently committed to Ole Miss, Hampton plans to take all five of his visits during his senior year. The 6-2, 196-pound defender said he plans on traveling to Miami first, followed by a visit to Alabama, Stanford and Ole Miss. Hampton said he isn't sure where his fifth visit will be at this time.
Below are Hampton's quotes on his top five schools right now listed in alphabetical order after Ole Miss.
Ole Miss: "Ole Miss is still where I am at right now. They care about me, so I'm still there. I'm also going to check out my other options. I'm going to take all five my official visits. It is an in-state school for me, and it was my first offer. I'm a big part of that 2014 class, and I'm a big priority to them, so with them telling me that it means a lot to me."
Alabama: "Alabama, it's a winning program. Coach Saban, he thinks highly of me, and we talk on a consistent basis. He is very big on trying to get me there."
Auburn: "They are really big on me. They still have a good relationship with me, and that means a lot just by how the coaching staff and everyone contacts my family."
Miami: "Miami, is just Miami. You always here about it from the 90's and how good they were. The coaches are just telling me how they are trying to get the program back to how it was. Plus, it is in Miami, so that's a big part of it too."
Stanford: "Seeing how they are from an academic standpoint, it speaks for itself. But, going out and seeing it and how the are athletic wise and the things they do to create NFL prospects, that is a big thing for me."

School of Rock Promotional Materials
These sketches are for a program that lists all the shows hosted by the Seattle and Bellevue Schools of Rock. Each spread shows information for each show, including what songs are playing, and who is playing what instrument for each song.
These early comps for flyers advertise the shows in a season for the School of Rock. They show the name of the performances, and information about when and where the performances are. I took inspiration from previous flyers that had been made for previous seasons of School of Rock performances to create my new design, which still felt apart of the established brand while pushing the design further.
These comps are for programs for the School of Rock season shows. The program pages on the right reflect a style similar to that of a previously designed program. The program on the left however, is a precursor to what the program actually became after I continued developing it.

Norwegian Gem
Cruise Duration: 2/13/18 – 2/24/18
Honestly, I did not do much research on the ports prior to taking this cruise.
I felt like I planned out NYC more than the cruise.
Since we got the "Distinctive Package" on board, it includes 250 minutes of wifi on board, as well as 150 minutes of international calling from our state room. It also comes with $50 per day of shore excursion credit for each port per state room.
I am such a lucky girl because I called my hubby back home to send me recommendations on which ports I should or shouldn't do any shore excursions with the ship. And, he gave me some good suggestions!
Our Current Plan
We have five days at ports.
Saturday, 2/17/18
Basseterre, St. Kitts Island
Docked: 8am
All Aboard: 4:30pm
No shore excursions. It looks like a good place to just walk around the port and shop. Michael also said there seems to b a beach pretty close. We will cab it there in the morning. Do the beach. Then come back to the ship for lunch.
In the afternoon, we will check out some shops and Kai will most likely take his nap in his stroller while we shop.
Sunday, 2/18/18
Castries, St Lucia Island
Docked: 8am
All Aboard: 4:30pm
We are unsure about this time. We are torn between two shore excursions. One is a Trolley Train ride for 1.5 hours which Kai will love. Downside: it starts at 1:50pm and Kai usually naps around that time. The other one is a city tour and a 90 minute beach excursion: total time is 3.5 hours. This one starts at 8:50am.
The other attractions in St. Lucia are rather far from the port itself. The beaches are about a 1.5 hour drive from the port, as well as the botanical gardens.
Monday, 2/19/18
Bridgetown, Barbados
Docked: 8am
All Aboard: 4:30pm
We plan to all take an excursion to visit Harrison's Cave in Barbados. It seems like a good one! There's also a waterfall, so I can't wait to take pictures. Also, we get to ride on a tram! Kai will love that. The only downside to this is we leave around 12:35pm. We will have to plan around Kai's nap that day.
Tuesday, 2/20/18
St. Johns, Antigua
Docked: 10am
All Aboard: 5:30pm
I am torn between two options here.
- Take a beach day because there are some of the world's nicest beaches. Kai will have a blast. We wouldn't take a shore excursion beach day. We would leave the ship and grab a cab and go to a beach and then come back in a couple of hours. Then, have lunch and hang out.
- This is more of a me-only shore excursion. It's a photographic tour of Antigua. It's a 4-hour shore excursion from 12:30pm. I figure if I do this one, I can hang out with Kai in the morning. If he's tired, he can take a nap while I am gone. My parents can watch Kai.
These two options are really tough because on the one hand I want to be able to spend time with Kai and have a beach day, but this is the only port where they are offering a photographic tour with a photographer.
Wednesday, 2/21/18
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Docked: 7am
All Aboard: 12:30pm
We are simply planning on exploring the local area and maybe walking to Old San Juan, or going to a nearby beach. Also, we only have a few hours on shore here.
The Waiting Game
Guess we will see what happens. Plans may change depending on shore excursion availability. We didn't want to book too far in advance because we weren't sure how we were going to feel. So, we need to further inquire with the shore excursion desk.
Tomorrow is our first day on land! Let's see how we feel off the boat and what Basseterre has in store for us.

Everton forward Gerard Deulofeu struck a pre-derby blow this week during Everton in the Community's latest Secret Santa visit.
The Blues striker surprised a young Liverpool fan who works as a volunteer for EITC, turning up at the fan, known only as Jamie's, home to deliver a pair of his own signed boots.
Then Deulofeu took on Jamie, 17, at FIFA and triumphed 2-1!
Jamie, 17, was withdrawn, low on confidence, wasn't in education and had barely left his room in six weeks when EITC staff first met him.
But under the EITC Breathing Space programme he has progressed to the level where he is now a qualified coach and volunteer.
As a reward for the progress he has made, Deulofeu paid an unannounced visit to him at his home.
Deulofeu handed over a pair of his own signed boots - then took on Jamie at FIFA.
Two goals by Romelu Lukaku gave the Blues a 2-1 victory. "I couldn't handle the pressure," joked Jamie!

I'm a full-time working mom of two who is heavily involved in activities with my children. I've always taken time to schedule appointments for each family member, and as a result I just kept putting myself on the back burner. But in February 2015, I finally decided to do something for myself and go in for a checkup. Why? I knew it wouldn't be good news.
Thanks to lab work — and what felt like endless vials of blood — I was deemed to have high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and thyroid issues. The cholesterol wasn't too much of a shock with my weight being in the obese category, but at a level of 220 I knew I needed to take action.
The doctor's first plan of attack was to work on my diabetes in conjunction with my cholesterol. It was explained that my cholesterol would be a factor as it complicates diabetes. I was ready for the ride.
Controlling my cholesterol
Google quickly became my partner in finding healthy solutions that I could manageably implement. I wasn't ready to have my mind blown by all that was out there. I needed more than just a stack of papers and prescriptions from my doctor.
My husband, who has been a heart patient from what seems like birth, and I talked about what I could do that I would be comfortable with. I strongly stress the "I" because what works for him doesn't work for me.
The first prescription I was given started to give me muscle cramps within the first three days. Knowing the ups and downs my husband went through helped me to watch for signs my new medication was a problem. We talked and decided to give it a week's time to let my body adjust along with increasing my water intake.
The days were fine, but my nights were horrible — I woke up multiple times to a charley horse in my calf. I couldn't take it, so I called my primary doctor and requested a change. I was finally given a new medication. It was like night and day, and I couldn't have been happier.
Dealing with my diabetes
With my diabetes, I received another stack of papers to read with my prescription. Yes, my diabetes was horrid: I had an A1C of 8.7 percent, and my doctor was very worried. Again, it was trial and error before I found a medication that worked for my diabetes and my body.
As someone with both high cholesterol and diabetes, I began making changes to my diet to include more heart-healthy foods, reducing my carbs and limiting my sugar intake. It's challenging to manage my carbs. I love veggies and salads, but I also love meat. Balance and finding what fits me are the biggest all-time challenges.
"Just losing weight" isn't easy, but I am trying. And as long as I try, I don't feel that I am failing. I am the driver of my bus, and only I can steer my course through the difficult road ahead of me. I may detour, hit those bumps, but eventually I will see positive results.
As of today, I am happy to report my A1C is 6.7 percent and my total cholesterol is at 136. With the help of modern medicine, knowing my body, and making changes, I am seeing positive results.
