Can you tell I've been playing the new Call of Cthulhu game? Good news, it's good! Also, even better news, there's a new Lovecraftian game coming early next year!
I think the word, "adoration", possibly adequate to describe my sentiments when you produce your delightful comics with themes from the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft. Thank you. The alt-text joke was a nice touch too.
Necro Lolicon puts a different and much more disturbing image in my head.

Never go full lars Ulrich dude, or all your future endeavours will be tainted.
With the smell of taint.
The taint of unwashed Turkish hobos.
On a hot day.
Garlic eating Turkish hobo taint.
All your endeavours.
Even your children.

Whether participating in glittery dinners with heads of state, or tête-à-têtes in the Oval Office, Andrew Liveris, the chief executive of Dow Chemical, has regularly visited the White House.
He served as co-chairman of President Obama's Advanced Manufacturing Partnership. He stood beside the president onstage at events.
Many of these Washington appearances by Mr. Liveris — which have totaled more than two dozen since 2009 — were arranged with the help of Teneo, an advisory firm with close ties to the Democratic establishment. Dow is Teneo's biggest and most lucrative account, paying millions of dollars a year in fees, according to a 2014 lawsuit filed against Dow and interviews with two Teneo employees.
Teneo bills itself as the chief executive's best friend. Its pitch is that, with Teneo's help, C.E.O.s can become not just business leaders but "thought leaders and global ambassadors," according to its website.
To achieve that, Teneo hires influential political and corporate figures to advise clients. Last month it added its latest superstar, William J. Bratton, the former top police official in New York, Los Angeles and Boston, who will head a new security unit.
Other prominent employees have included former President Bill Clinton and Huma Abedin, who, starting in 2012, briefly worked at Teneo while employed at the State Department under Secretary Hillary Clinton. At the same time, Ms. Abedin held a paid position at the Clinton Foundation, the family-founded charitable organization. Last year, Teneo declined to answer questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding Ms. Abedin's employment.
Mrs. Clinton is now, of course, the Democratic candidate for president. And in an election year defined by voters' anti-insider sentiment, Teneo — a firm whose business plan is premised on putting its clients, not the firm itself, in the limelight — has found itself in the public eye for its relationship with the Clintons.
Interviews with more than a dozen current and former Teneo employees — most of whom asked not to be identified because of confidentiality agreements or concerns about endangering their relationships with Teneo — shed light on the inner workings of power and politics in the nation's capital and beyond.
One of Teneo's three founders, Declan Kelly, was a fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton and also served as an envoy to Northern Ireland during her tenure as secretary of state. A second founder, Douglas J. Band, was a close adviser to Mr. Clinton during and after his presidency.
More recently, in mid-October, emails released by WikiLeaks involving Mrs. Clinton's campaign chairman, John D. Podesta, included several written in late 2011 by Chelsea Clinton to Mr. Podesta, in which she accuses Teneo employees of "hustling" for business at the annual Clinton Global Initiative, the annual symposium that brings together politicians, business chiefs and heads of nonprofit organizations to discuss and debate global issues. Chelsea Clinton also accused Teneo employees of using her father's name to set up meetings with London lawmakers for Teneo clients.
At that time, Chelsea Clinton and Mr. Podesta were involved in an effort to formalize the relationships between Mr. Clinton's personal office, the Clinton Foundation and other initiatives to, among other things, avoid any perceptions of conflict of interest.
In the email chain, Mr. Band responds to Mr. Podesta denying any connection between Teneo and the Clintons. In one note, he writes that Chelsea Clinton is "acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues."
Teneo, through a spokesman, called Chelsea Clinton's accusations in the emails "completely false." A spokeswoman for Chelsea Clinton did not respond to an email seeking comment. A spokesman for Hillary Clinton's campaign, which Mr. Podesta is running, said it would not authenticate any of the hacked Podesta emails.
Hacked emails reflect only one challenge facing the fast-growing firm. Within Teneo, some have expressed concern that if Mrs. Clinton is elected in November, the firm may find it harder to arrange White House meetings for its clients, perhaps because of sensitivities about perceived conflicts of interest.
In an effort to become more of a one-stop shop well beyond Washington power circles, Teneo has been rapidly expanding to include investment banking services, executive recruiting and now risk assessment and response (tapping Mr. Bratton's expertise). "I'm part of that growth plan," Mr. Bratton said in an interview.
In fact, the growth has been so fast that last year employees made a tongue-in-cheek video in which they tried, and sometimes failed, to name all 12 of Teneo's divisions.
But the firm's rapid growth and election-year tumult have fed speculation over how soon its private equity investors may want to cash out. In mid-September, an article in The Wall Street Journal suggested that a public offering of stock was on the horizon, an idea the private equity owners vigorously disputed.
"We and the company are under no pressure to do anything with regard to the company's future, and any suggestion to the contrary is completely false and baseless," BC Partners, the private equity owners, said in a statement.
In an emailed response to questions, Teneo said it did not sell access to its corporate clients and that "any suggestion otherwise is false and misleading." The statement said, "The firm is fortunate to represent many of the largest and best known companies in the world," and emphasized that "Teneo operates at all times to the highest ethical and professional standards."
Rebecca Bentley, a spokeswoman for Teneo's major client, Dow, said that the firm's fees had never totaled more than $1 million a month and that Teneo provided a range of advisory services around the world, including investor relations and digital and crisis communications. As for Mr. Liveris's visits to the White House, she said that not all of them had been arranged by Teneo.
A White House official said in a statement "the Office of Public Engagement routinely meets with hundreds of private sector stakeholders" on a monthly basis.
But former employees said what made Teneo special was that it offered a constellation of influencers, such as Mr. Bratton and others, to counsel its clients, make connections with their contact lists or simply help amplify a C.E.O.'s stature by attending a dinner or event.
Ed Rollins, a veteran Republican strategist who ran Ronald Reagan's 1984 re-election campaign and who was a consultant with Teneo until this year, said, "The ability to bring business and political leaders together to meet the C.E.O.s was all part of the selling point."
Insiders and Email
The office of Mr. Band, a Teneo co-founder and longtime aide to Mr. Clinton, offers a reminder of the firm's roots. One photograph pictures Mr. Band, Mr. Clinton and President Obama playing golf. Another shows Mr. Band and Mr. Clinton in 2009 after they negotiated the release of journalists from North Korea.
Teneo was formed in June 2011, when Mr. Kelly, the former fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton, joined with Mr. Band and Paul Keary, who worked with Mr. Kelly at another communications firm. Mr. Keary and Mr. Kelly are members of a rock band at Teneo, Insane Asylum, which performs Rolling Stones covers, former employees say.
Early on, Mr. Clinton was named to Teneo's advisory board. A search of LinkedIn profiles shows that a number of former aides to the Clintons or employees of the Clinton Foundation have worked there or acted as consultants, including Justin Cooper, an assistant to President Clinton who helped set up the family's private email server.
One employee who has faced particular scrutiny is Ms. Abedin, who worked as a consultant at Teneo in late 2012 while simultaneously working as Mrs. Clinton's aide in the State Department. Late last year, a letter sent to Teneo by Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked for details of Ms. Abedin's agreement and whether the arrangement had resulted in undue influence on Mrs. Clinton's diplomatic work.
Teneo declined to provide the information and said it had provided the necessary details, including Ms. Abedin's contract, to the State Department Office of the Inspector General, which was conducting its own inquiry into Ms. Abedin's work status. "Out of respect for the independence and integrity of that review, I respectfully refer your office to them for any other questions you might have," Mr. Kelly wrote last October.
The State Department Office of the Inspector General declined to comment on the inquiry.
About the same time, Teneo changed its retention policy. In a June 2015 email to staff members that was reviewed by The New York Times, Teneo said that nearly all emails older than one year would be "automatically removed" from its system. The firm cited cybersecurity concerns.
When asked about the new email retention policy, Teneo said in a statement that it was "well aware of its obligations under the law in terms of retention and preservation of electronic communications and any insinuation that it has not met these obligations is totally false."
Beyond the Clintons
While several former employees said Teneo's connections to the Clinton family had given the firm its jump start, others noted that there were prominent employees who had nothing to do with the Clintons. Besides Mr. Rollins, Teneo also has within its ranks a former Democratic senator from Maine, George J. Mitchell, and Harvey Pitt, a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission appointed by President George W. Bush.
Mr. Mitchell, a partner at the law firm DLA Piper, spoke about his work in an interview. "It's not a major part of my time," he said, adding that he had spoken at Teneo's annual event and at functions in London and Toronto. He said he had also reviewed the practices of two multinational corporations, advising their chief executives and boards on how "to improve their risk assessment procedures and legal compliance."
Beyond the ties to the Clintons, longstanding relationships with crucial clients — Dow Chemical and Coca-Cola (a vintage Coke machine stands in Teneo's lobby) — also provided a big push. Teneo's growth over the last five years has been remarkable, and it now has 550 employees in 14 offices around the world.
Teneo has acted as counsel to many of the world's superstar chief executives, including Virginia M. Rometty of IBM, Ursula Burns of Xerox, Sergio Ermotti and Robert McCann of UBS, and Klaus Kleinfeld of Alcoa.
Its fees can be high compared with those of its peers, ranging from $150,000 to more than $1 million a month. Teneo helped Dow Chemical defend itself against various barrages from the activist investor Daniel S. Loeb and respond to negative reports over a lawsuit filed by an internal fraud investigator who claimed she was fired after alleging fraudulent expenses by Mr. Liveris. The suit was settled, and a Dow spokeswoman denied any wrongdoing.
Teneo also helped shape McDonald's campaign against raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, and it assisted Boston in the city's unsuccessful bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Teneo frames its offerings to C.E.O.s like this, according to several former employees: You can't trust your board of directors, who could fire you. You can't trust your lieutenants, who want your job. Which is why you need Teneo.
Some pitches also included what three former Teneo employees called the fear factor approach. A team of Teneo internal data analysts would provide a prospective client with a list of companies at risk of attack from activist investors, highlighting the risks to that person's company.
Once an executive is signed as a client — and depending on his or her needs — Teneo will occasionally organize what it describes as a salon event for the client's benefit. Typically casual get-togethers, these dinners have been held in a private room at the "21" Club or the restaurant Marea in New York, or at private residences.
For instance, Heather Bresch, the chief executive of the pharmaceutical company Mylan, was given two salons by Teneo in 2011 — one in a New York City apartment and a second at a private home in Washington that attracted a mix of media, finance and political elite. Then, in 2012, a Teneo employee and Ms. Bresch met with President Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett at the White House, according to White House records.
This year Ms. Bresch was thrust into the spotlight after Mylan increased the price of its EpiPen, a lifesaving allergy treatment, sixfold. A Mylan spokeswoman, Nina Devlin, confirmed that the company had been a client of Teneo, saying the relationship ended in 2012. She declined to address specific questions about the dinners.
In Washington, Teneo salons — often home-cooked dinners that occasionally include homemade ice cream — are sometimes held in the home of Margaret Carlson, a columnist for Bloomberg View. Guests have included United States Senators Kirsten Gillibrand, Democrat of New York, and Joe Manchin, Democrat of West Virginia, according to several former Teneo employees.
Social interactions have long been a lubricant of both politics and business. However, some former Teneo employees said they felt it was not made clear to participants that the salons were being held on behalf of Teneo or its corporate clients.
"I don't think they made it to be a sponsorship of Teneo," said Mr. Rollins, the former Teneo senior adviser. "Margaret would do the invite."
In a statement, Teneo said Mr. Rollins had been terminated for "egregiously breaching" his employment contract, adding that his comments on salon dinners or anything else relating to Teneo were "categorically false, uninformed and made with malicious personal intent."
Mr. Rollins denied that he had been fired. He said Mr. Kelly was upset when he learned that Mr. Rollins had taken a job at a different communications firm this year. (Mr. Rollins is also the chairman of a super PAC for the Republican presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump.)
"He came in, got furious," Mr. Rollins said. "From his perspective, I was his token Republican. He saw it as a defection," Mr. Rollins said, adding, "It was not a comfortable place to be for a Republican."
Still, spokesmen for Senator Gillibrand and Senator Manchin said the lawmakers had been unaware that any dinners they attended at the home of Ms. Carlson were connected to Teneo. Jonathan Kott, the spokesman for Mr. Manchin, said, "He doesn't know what Teneo is."
In a statement, Teneo said the salon dinners were an "extremely small part" of its operations and that they were "information thought leadership events" that were typically attended by heads of leading think tanks and nonprofit organizations, public officials and members of the media, including journalists from The New York Times. An individual inside the firm also said that all appropriate disclosures to participants were made.
Strict laws govern the activities of registered lobbyists in the American political system. Teneo has no registered lobbyists in its ranks and, in its statement, denied that any lobbying occurred at the salons.
Ms. Carlson declined to comment for this article or to respond to questions about whether she was paid by Teneo or reimbursed for the costs associated with the salons. Teneo declined to comment on whether there was payment or remuneration for the parties.
Still, individuals inside Teneo said the salons were valuable to the participants. Often they involve eight to 12 people, said Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, who became a senior adviser to Teneo in December after retiring as the Army's chief of staff last year. "They're always very casual, close, interesting conversations that you're able to have," he said.

Jon Snow may be alive, but our dreams of Game of Thrones staying on television forever are officially dead. And obviously we're pretty devastated by the news.
The sixth season of the HBO show, which recently ended after some pretty darned big and exciting episodes, was one of the most-talked about and highest rated series of TV in recent years. So you'd think HBO would double down and keep it going for as long as possible, right? Wrong.
HBO's president of programming, Casey Bloys, confirmed it. The executive came out to the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour in Beverly Hills over the weekend, where he told us that the eighth season of Game of Thrones will indeed be the show's final season. Not that he wouldn't keep it going if he could — apparently we have showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss to blame.
"[The writers] have a very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do," Bloys said. "Believe me, if I could get them to do more, I would take 10 more seasons. But, you know, we take their lead on what they think they can do [to make] the best version of the show."
Forgive us if we want to set some of Dany's dragons on them for that decision. In the meantime, the good news is that there will at least be two more seasons of the show. The seventh season (which will only be seven episodes), will premiere a bit later next year too, which means that even though there's a longer wait in between it will also feel like we have Game of Thrones in our lives for a little longer.
The other good news? It sounds like there could be a spinoff at some point to look forward to.
"We've talked about it; it's something I'm not opposed to," Bloys confirmed. "But, of course, it has to make sense creatively. I am not sure that the guys can really wrap their heads around it when they're just about to start production [on Season 7}. It's a pretty intense production. The guys weren't opposed to it, but there is no concrete plans or anything like that at this point."
Well let's just hope that those plans begin to formulate soon. Because we can't imagine a world in which we can't get our Westeros on every Sunday night.

Why did Ray D'Arcy ask Making a Murderer lawyer such inane, trivial questions? - Michael O'Doherty
THE TV show Making a Murderer purportedly unearths not one, but two miscarriages of justice that have befallen Steven Avery, who served 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, and is now serving life for a second, doubtful conviction.
So when Dean Strang, Avery's defence attorney, was announced as a guest on The Ray D'Arcy Show, it had all the makings of a fascinating, serious interview.
But RTE doesn't do 'serious' very well, and predictably enough, D'Arcy fell into the trap of trying to lighten the mood.
"You have become a celebrity, dare I say sex symbol," ventured Ray, to a visibly embarrassed Strang.
Repeating exchanges that Ray had heard in RTE, he quoted the compliment of one female that "[Strang] wouldn't be my normal type - I don't know I'm why attracted to him, but I am".
Full marks to Strang for keeping his dignity during this toe-curling exchange, which did nothing but trivialise a serious matter and give further fuel to the argument that the RTE is incapable of dealing with a subject without dumbing it down.
One hesitates to blame Ray in this case, as he seemed interested in the Avery story, but one has to question whether Ryan Tubridy would have been less concerned about pandering to giddier elements by asking such inane questions.
Strang comes across on Making a Murderer as a committed, rights-driven lawyer, who firmly believes that the US justice system is flawed. He deserved more than the usual tat about his Irish connections and becoming an unlikely sex symbol. As chat-show miscarriages of justice go, Ray's interview with Strang was right up there.Ray D'Arcy criticised for interview with Making a Murderer attorney Dean Strang: 'Brendan Dassey could have conducted a better interview'

While this is old news to Marathon series fans who check out Bungie.org daily, those of you with a more casual interest in the subject still might find this fascinating. A while back we reported on a mysterious "glyphs" puzzle which had appeared on Bungie.org, which inspired its own fan page and a huge public effort to solve the riddle. 3,000 forum posts later, all 7 glyphs have been solved, and the answer points to a new section of the Bungie.org fansite: Arrival.bungie.org.
Once you enter the site (hint: the login/password is ARCHIVE and OUTLINE) you will be greeted by a very minimalist site that nevertheless contains a fascinating array of information about the Marathon series. From scans of the handwritten design notes of all the original Marathon levels to scripts for the "BOB" character sayings, all loaded with that trademark Bungie humor. For those of you who discovered the first-person shooter aboard the shadowy, terrifying corridors of the USS Marathon, this is definitely worth perusing.

UO won 68-64 to close out basketball games played at Mac Court. "They did not want to lose this game," Westhead said. "It is a forever win. Five years, 10 years, 84 years from now, someone will be remembering. And the anthem we will remember." Jackson said her Ducks want to become known for their steals as much as their scoring, getting 15 against Washington. She led, finishing with a game-high 22 points, seven assists, and five picks. Kingma led her team, making a career-high-tying six three-pointers for 21 points and seven rebounds. But Heard's eight turnovers to mare an 18 and 12 night hurt, in addition to the Huskies shooting 9 of 17 from the FT line. "We just weren't making smart decisions," Kingma said. "We worked on it this week. If they had three (players) up, it would go in a certain place and if they didn't, it would go somewhere else. I don't know if it was the crowd noise or Oregon plays so fast, but we didn't make good decisions." Too bad, because UW's defense again was working, getting UO to shoot 28.6 percent in the second half. They also kept the running team from scoring a point on fastbreaks. It's still early in the conference season, however, and the schools split the series last year. So, UW can count the positives, like Rogers' numbers. She played just 15 minutes and finished with 12 points and nine boards. Morton continues to hit Kingma in the right spot, finishing with seven assists and Heard is a Sami Whitcomb replacement in a sense, playing a football style of basketball to inflict pain on opponents. Williams also was OK. She played seven minutes in her first game back from a concussion and had two points. "There was tremendous inside-outside attack," Jackson said of her postgame speech to the team. Washington (6-7, 1-3 Pac-10) returns to play No. 4 Stanford and California this week at Hec Ed. Oregon (11-4, 2-2) plays its inaugural game at Matt Arena on Jan. 23 against rival OSU. TIMEOUT?: Yes, Tia Jackson called a timeout with 1.7 seconds remaining, getting showered with boos from the 2,854 in attendance that wanted to start the celebrations. UO was up by four. "We don't quit," Jackson said. "I don't ever want them to think that's the case. It was just, if we could get a tip, get a steal, put Regina on the ball, we would have tried to get a tip off of that…They were still able to get it in." Nia Jackson collected the inbound pass and simply held on as time expired. NEW TRADEMARK?: What the…Oregon isn't know for defense at all, but you'd think they were UCLA the way they are forcing UW into countless turnovers off in-bound passes. Argens was almost called for a five-second violation, Kingma unable to get loose from the Ducks' coverage. Coach Paul Westhead has his team playing a full-court press and Nia Jakcosn is all over Kingma. Freshman Mercedes Wetmore was called for another turnover, unable to break the press and running right into Kristi Fallin, who locked her up into a travel. HAWKS WATCH: The Seahawks have taken a 24-20 lead! Sorry I didn't place that bet in Vegas. Oh, well. Here in Eugene there's a good game going on, too. UW is getting back on track, down 45-41 after a Morton jumper. There's 11:58 on the clock. I'M HOTTER: Nia Jackson has had enough of Kingma stealing her spotlight. She picked off two more UW in-bound passes and made a three-pointer to pull together a 13-0 run for her team. UO leads 45-33 with 14:24 left in the game. Jackson has 17 points on 6 of 11 shooting. SCOREBOARD: Man, has anyone checked out what's going on around the Pac-10? No. 12 UCLA is making USC look stupid on FSN, leading 51-29 with 7:41 remaining in the game. No. 4 Stanford leads ASU 55-17 early in the second half while Cal is killing Arizona 50-36. OSU is up 30-29 against Washington State with 18:54 remaining the the battle of the conference-winnless teams. UW LEADS: Yeah, this is Kingma's game. She nailed her fifth three-pointer of the game to give the Huskies a 33-32 lead with 18:34 remaining in the game. Somebody might want to check her. HALFTIME: It was all Canepa to close out the opening half for the Ducks with a modest 32-28 lead. She scored her team's final four points and had a block on Morton, continuing to play well off the bench in Oregon's past four games. UW was led by Kingma's 12 points, shooting 4 of 5 from three-point range. One more and she ties the career record set on Thursday against OSU. She also has five boards along with Argens and Heard. But UW only has three offensive rebounds compared to nine for UO, getting outscored 6-5 on second-chance points. It's the bench points that truly hurt, however. Canepa's 10 have the Ducks reserves outscoring the Huskies 13-8. UW also has 13 turnovers for nine Oregon points. It's going to take a similar theme of taking care of the ball and making better decisions on offense for UW to win this one. You can tell Kingma is ready for the upset. TOO HOT: Kingma sank another three-pointer to make the score 27-24 with 4:21 left on the clock. A FT by Kenyon slowed the run to14-1, but UW turned the ball over three times on the in-bound play to prevent the offensive momentum from really taking over the Ducks. CHECKMATE: Kingma nailed three consecutive three-pointers in the midst of an 11-0 run to help pull the Dawgs within 27-21 with 6:13 left in the opening half. The outburst was after a wordy timeout by Tia Jackson. UW being able to drive and kick-out to Kingma is obviously key, the Huskies are also starting to get some rebounds. INTERIOR WORK: The UW posts are going to be out of sync, this is the first time since the season opener that all have been healthy. But Holliday is helping to make them look silly, getting a nice hi-lo pass to Nicole Canepa for a layin and an in-bound pass to Johnson for a score off a UW five-second violation. Johnson just scored again off another turnover by UW on an in-bound attempt to build a cozy 27-10 lead. HAWKS UPDATE: I know you're curious. The Seahawks are down 17-7 with 13:28 remaining in the second quarter.Dawgs are down 20-10 with 11:02 on the clock. MS JACKSON: A three-pointer and a wicked baseline drive has Nia Jackson's Ducks up 13-6 with 14:27 remaining in the opening half. Jackson played high school hoops with Barlow and Rogers. Williams did answer with a layin, but UW isn't getting the boards to give itself more chances or stop Oregon. SUBS IN: Jackson has gone to Rogers and Williams with 16:18 remaining in the opening half. Rogers made her first FG attempts and the Huskies are down 6-4. TEAR IT UP: Roger McConnell played a Jimi Hendrix inspired national anthem for the last played at the facility. He got the crowd going, but took a minute to set-up, leading a fan to scream "Go Ducks!" into the silence. It was met with cheers until another fan belted "Go Dawgs!" The team cheered with their followers and the Ducks finally started to boo. After the anthem, McConnell kissed the court. Full disclosure: I keep every media pass given. Don't know what I'm going to do with them, but they're stacked in boxes around the home office. I think I'll do something special with the one passed out today, however, like frame it with the Madison Square Garden visits and WNBA championships. Oregon (10-4, 1-2 Pac-10) is playing its final basketball game at the historic McArthur Court Saturday afternoon. The school will host a BCS viewing party at the 84-year-old facility on Monday for the football team, but the women shut the doors on hoops against Washington (6-6, 1-2). The men opened the building in 1927 with a win against Willamette and will debut the $227 million Matthew Knight Arena on Thursday against USC. The Huskies haven't been particularly successful on the Ducks' turf, winning in Eugene three times in the past 10 years. Yet, the players are as geeked as me to play part in history. Given the rivalry between the schools, UW would like nothing more than have the famed building close its books with a loss to Washington. A really good crowd, some who may have attended the inaugural game, is filing in from the slight drizzle outside. Oregon alum Cathrine Kraayeveld, who starred at Lake Washington High, is seated behind the Ducks bench wearing her own throwback T-shirt, "Cat's Not Afraid of Dawgs" with her No. 33 on it. Others are draped in green and gold and snapping photos from every angle. Washington has its own good news in F Mollie Williams being dressed for the first time since suffering a concussion against Georgia Tech on Dec. 23. She's practiced this week, looking strong in shoot-around sessions. Her minutes could be limited along with C Regina Rogers, who returned Thursday after two-month absence. Huskies coach Tia Jackson spoke of conditioning since neither has played in a bit, so she didn't want to exasperate them. Their return does help UW inside, however. In Washington's recent three-game losing streak, a big reason for the losses was lack of depth inside and younger players making mistakes due to logging heavier minutes than expected early in the season. "We were able to close out a game," said Jackson of Rogers' minutes in a 55-52 win against Oregon State on Thursday. "It's been a bugaboo for the last few games. We did it right, we wanted to play her between 12 and 15 minutes." F Mackenzie Argens said what she likes most about the building is it's name, "Mac Court," scoring a career-high 21 points in a loss to Oregon last year. She proclaimed the Huskies would have something for the Ducks, let's see what it is by getting you ready with your starting lineups: HUSKIES F Charmaine Barlow F Marjorie Heard C Mackenzie Argens G Sara Morton G Kristi Kingma DUCKS F Amanda Johnson F Jasmin Holliday C Victoria Kenyon G Nia Jackson G Ashley Buis Tonight's officials are Marianne Karp, Rick Showers, and Shelley Nakasone.

The three-day practical training sessions target officials from the public health, veterinary and food producing sectors in all 28 EU countries.
The workshops will be organised between now and March 2019 in a number of European capitals, namely Madrid, Copenhagen, Prague, Zagreb, Stockholm and Sofia. The next workshop takes place in Prague between 11 and 14 December 2017.
The workshops aim to spread knowledge to government officials in all EU countries working in the human health and veterinary sectors. As the majority of participants are involved at central level in monitoring, surveillance, reporting and control activities, they can make a big difference in implementing a One Health approach to AMR on the ground in their countries. The workshops have the following main objectives:
- Spreading knowledge on methods of prevention and control of AMR in the veterinary and human medicine sectors with a "One health" approach;
- Further harmonising Member States' approaches and sharing best practices in the field of use of antimicrobials;
- Increasing the efficacy of the competent authority in the field of AMR monitoring, reporting and control;
- Increasing the compatibility of procedures and practices between public health authorities and veterinary/food safety authorities across the EU.

The Hypochondriacs

Doors 9 // Show 10
TICKETS ON SALE NOW ONLINE > http://bit.ly/2Qm5UL1
or in person through the Etixnow kiosks Graystone Brewing + Grimross Brewing Co.
Like Frankenstein's monster drunk on whiskey sours, The Hypochondriacsresurrect classic country vibes with a strange and modern twist. Weaving together the emotional balladry of country legends like Hank Williams and George Jones with the high-octane stage presence of Memphis rockabilly and undercoated with the saccharine sounds of '50s doo-wop, it's a sound that's at once familiar and refreshing.
Lead singer Josh Bravener has music in his blood, accompanying his father, an Elvis impersonator, out on the road from the tender age of six. Armed with songs about the crushing heartbreak of love and the love/hate relationship with the bottle, Bravener and his brother Aaron started the Hypochondriacs in 2012 and have been relentlessly hitting the stage ever since. Playing hundreds of shows – from intimate acoustic house shows to hitting the stage of the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto – and winning hearts in the process, the now-quintet has solidified itself as a high-energy whirlwind that you just can't peel your eyes away from.

What is Coffee Senna Poisoning?
Coffee senna can be found in many regions with the interchangeable names of sicklepod and coffeeweed. Toxicity from ingestion is not considered common but can happen. Symptoms can be very vague and in many cases do not even develop until it is too late for a chance at recovery. If you know you have this plant on your property, remove it. If you witness you horse ingesting a part of it, call your veterinarian immediately. The toxin found in the plant causes muscle tissue weakness and disease; there is no antidote. Recovery from coffee senna poisoning is guarded to poor so prevention is the best thing you can offer your horse.
Symptoms of coffee senna toxicity may develop once it is too late to offer your horse a chance at recovery. It can be fatal before symptoms even present. If you witnessed your horse ingesting this plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Symptoms of Coffee Senna Poisoning in Horses
Symptoms can vary but may include:
- Fever
- Diarrhea
- Incoordination
- Muscle tremors
- Weakness
- Generalized stiffness
- Lameness
- Dark or bloody urine
- Presence of lesions on muscles, kidneys and liver
- Recumbency
- Death with or without any clinical signs
Scientifically, coffee senna is known by the genus Senna with varying species. This genus was formerly known as Cassia but scientists are always reclassifying plants in order for better identification. Other common names this plant is known as includes sickle pod and coffeeweed. Coffee senna is an annual legume that can grow up to 6.5 feet high, produce pinnately compound leaves, yellow flowers, and gives off a strong, distasteful odor.
Causes of Coffee Senna Poisoning in Horses
Coffee senna produces the toxin known as anthraquinones. It can be found in both the seeds and fruit of the plant and primarily affects the gastrointestinal system and skeletal muscle. The toxin causes irritation and mitochondrial myopathy once ingested and in your horse's system.
Diagnosis of Coffee Senna Poisoning in Horses
When diagnosing coffee senna toxicity in your horse, the veterinarian will need to rule out other possible diseases with similar symptoms including white snakeroot toxicity, blister beetle toxicity, laminitis and colic. She will begin with blood work to check the organ values and chemistry levels within the blood. A complete blood count and chemistry panel will be run for general information. If more detailed blood work is needed, further tests will be performed.
If there is blood in the urine or if it is unusually dark, a urinalysis will be recommended. Your veterinarian will want to check for chemistry levels in the urine as well as check for infection and crystals. A urinary tract infection can cause similar urine-related symptoms so it will need to be ruled out. If crystals are present, it can be indicative of stones. Further diagnostics, such as radiographs of the urinary system, may be recommended as well.
If your horse is experiencing lameness or stiffness, she may recommend radiographs of his musculoskeletal system to check for a source. Injury and/or joint problems will need to be ruled out by the veterinarian in order to come to a proper diagnosis.
Of course, if your horse dies without any signs of prior clinical symptoms, your veterinarian may recommend a necropsy to determine the exact cause. With coffee senna poisoning, lesions can appear on the liver, kidney, and muscles. It would be a good idea to allow the necropsy so you can ensure it does not happen to any of your other horses or animals.
Treatment of Coffee Senna Poisoning in Horses
There is no exact treatment your veterinarian can offer your horse. She can provide supportive therapies and keep your horse comfortable. You will need to remove the source of the poisoning immediately to prevent further ingestion. The longer your horse ingests it, the higher his chances of suffering toxicity and dying.
In cases of toxicity, your veterinarian will start fluid therapy to ensure he stays hydrated and to keep his liver, kidneys, and urinary tract flowing. This will also force his body to flush the toxin from his system faster since he will be receiving a constant inflow of fluids.
It would be a good idea to keep your horse stalled in order to closely monitor him and to keep him comfortable during treatments. Additional therapies will be determined by the symptoms your horse is experiencing. She will treat symptomatically as symptoms appear. Toxicity from coffee senna is a serious condition. There is no antidote so the only thing your veterinarian can do is offer comfort for your horse.
Recovery of Coffee Senna Poisoning in Horses
Recovery from coffee senna toxicity will be determined by how quickly your horse's condition is properly diagnosed. If you witness your horse eating this plant, contact your veterinarian immediately in order to begin the detoxification process as soon as possible. If it is a case where clinical symptoms do not develop in time for treatment and you did not witness your horse eating the plant, recovery is poor.

Making Real Maple Syrup
Take a short journey down the road of a New York sugarmaker. Watch the making of the real thing, pure maple syrup.

Walling's Maple Syrup is officially certified organic!
Making maple syrup is a production rich in heritage and steeped in Native American tradition. We have gathered sap from maple trees and turned it into pure maple syrup for over 25 years, increasing our knowledge with every passing year. Acknowledging that this product is a special gift from the earth. It is humbling to be a maple producer, in which nature is your boss.
At Walling's Maple Syrup we believe in having the best quality product for your health and have been pleased to maintain organic practices for many, many years without any certification. But, for JUST US to know that we have quality products, free of pesticides and anything synthetic, is not good enough. Unless you are a local who is directly involved with us, you may not know important information about our manufacturing process. Because of this, we have decided to become certified organic, to let EVERYONE know the standards we are upholding.
Some may wonder – isn't all pure maple syrup organic? The fact is, that while we support all pure maple syrup and it is ALL better than the "fake stuff," not all syrup is created equal. Several things differentiate organic from non-organic maple syrup. One such example is: There is a step in the sap boiling process that requires a defoaming agent (every syrup producer must use a defoamer or else the syrup & pans will burn). We use and will continue to use organic, plant-based oil, because we believe it is healthier than alternatives sold by maple equipment dealers, that have synthetic ingredients. When you have perfectly, sweet, maple water flowing straight from the tree, only to add a synthetic, man-made ingredient is – to us – doing an injustice to what nature is providing. We want you to know exactly what our syrup entails, and that it is produced with everyone's health in mind – including our own! Our retail prices will also remain at their regular rates, and will NOTchange in accordance to the organic certification.
This is exciting news for us, and we hope you are excited about it too! As always, our syrup operation is a family venture and becoming certified organic was no different.

Pure Maple Syrup: It doesn't come directly out of the tree
There's a process to making pure maple syrup, it starts with sap.
Over the years we've come into contact with many people who think that maple syrup comes straight out of the tree as the sweet, sticky, amber liquid they pour over their pancakes. It may be basic information for some people, but how is one really supposed to know if they've never talked to a maple producer, researched it, or experienced it themselves? So, the fact is, what you get in your jug of pure maple syrup does not come directly out of the maple tree that way.
|Maple sap
It comes out as sap – a semi-clear, slightly-sweet liquid – also known as maple water. It is a thinner substance, and is generally 98% water and only 2% sugar. Maple trees expel their sap in the early spring, when the snow starts melting, the ground is a muddy mess, and the temperature goes from above to below freezing (& vice versa) in no time flat.
|Kern unloading maple sap on a rainy March day in 2013
Simply put, this water-like liquid flows out of a drilled hole in the tree, and goes through a tubing system or in a bucket. It is then collected and boiled in an evaporator. Boiling drives off excess water, leaving behind the thicker, sugary substance. If only you could capture the smell of a night of boiling – so sweet! Steam fills the air as the water evaporates, and eventually, once boiled long enough, it becomes pure maple syrup. Having the opportunity to taste this maple sap every season is such a pleasure, and being able to turn it into pure maple syrup is a privilege.

Templates are a fun and easy way for beginner digital scrapbookers to complete a layout. A template is like a layout sketch, but more interactive. Here is my layout using the new Summer Spritz Papers and Elements.
And here is the template I created:
As our special treat you can download this template I designed for FREE!
Once you have the template, your papers, & your elements opened, open a new blank file, and just drag and drop and use Group with Previous and Merge Layers ( or shortcuts Ctrl+G, Ctrl+E) to clip papers and photos. You can also use the clipping masks for tags, or just use as a guide. The Xs' mark where to put elements. After they are in place you can delete that original X layer. Add your shadows and you're done!
I also wanted to show how how I changed one of the Nantucket cards into the bike sticker I used on my layout. Open the journal card and use the square marquee to drag and select areas you want to delete; For example for this to work you want to delete anything the same color as the bike.
Then use the Magic Wand tool to select a few shades of color on the bike, then Select > Similar and all the bike should be selected.
You need to select Inverse (or Ctrl+Shift+I) and hit delete to get rid of everything except the bike.
Now to turn it into a sticker, you just need to add a stroke (under Edit). I did mine white at 14 pixels, and make sure you choose outside. This tequnique is also a great way to add a border around your photos. (Choosing outside on photos will give you a slightly rounded corner, if you want it sharper you can choose inside, but that will cut into your photo.)
So have fun with the FREEBIE template and practice making stickers out of elements! You will have twice as many digital elements to play with once you master this trick!

LEWISTON, Maine – Three Jumbos netted hat tricks in No. 5 Tufts women's lacrosse's 19-5 victory at No. 22 Bates College on Wednesday night at Garcelon Field. Tufts junior Emily Games led the way with five goals. Sophomore Claire Wright and first-year Mae Briody each netted three goals as well for Tufts.
|Briody netted three goals in the Jumbos 19-5 win over Bates
Following the victory, Tufts improves to 13-0 overall and improves to 8-0 in the NESCAC. It's the best start to a season for the Jumbos since 1989. With the loss, Bates falls to 8-5 overall and 4-4 in conference action. Tufts has now won each of the past six match-ups between the teams dating back to 2014.
The Bobcats came out strong with sophomore Summer Dias scoring off a pass from senior Sydney Howard. After the Dias goal, Games went on to score three unanswered goals over a three-minute span to give Jumbos a 3-1 advantage. Games' first two goals came off shots from the right side and the third came off a free-position shot. The Bobcats then looked to get their season-leading point scorer sophomore Margaret Smith involved and she attempted a shot after the Games free-position goal that was stopped by Tufts senior goalie Audrey Evers.
Briody kept the Jumbos' run going after receiving a great pass from senior Courtney Grygiel from behind the cage to give Tufts a three-goal advantage (4-1). Tufts junior Maddie Norman won the next draw control and sophomore Catherine Lawliss buried a bounce shot to extend the lead to 5-1. Jumbo junior Lily Baldwin intercepted a pass and scored on an empty net as Tufts' then had scored six unanswered goals. Bates first-year Jordyn Tveter ended the nine-minute Jumbo run with a free-position goal to get the Bobcats within four (6-2). Games answered with another free-position goal less than a minute later to retake a five-goal leadn for the Jumbos.
Dias then earned a free-position attempt and rifled a shot that was denied by Evers. On the ensuing possession, Grygiel found a cutting Wright to give the Jumbos an 8-2 edge with 14:27 remaining in the first half. The Jumbos went on to score the contest's next four goals over six minutes of clock time to take a 12-2 lead led by two more goals from Wright. Tufts first-year Anna Clarke buried a goal and Games scored again off a nice feed from sophomore Kirsten Grazewski during that stretch.
Bates senior Katie Allard then received a pass from Smith to end another Jumbo run to cut the deficit back into single digits (12-3). Smith again looked to score on the next possession, but was denied by Evers on a free-position shot. The Jumbos came right back down the field and senior Annie Sullivan converted a free-position shot to extend the lead back to 10 goals. Bobcat sophomore Lila Hutchins got on the board with four minutes left in the half. Lawliss had a good chance with three minutes left in the half, but a good save by senior goalie Eliza Statile was made on the play. The Jumbos entered halftime with a 13-4 advantage after no goals were scored in the final three minutes of the half.
Briody opened the second half by scoring a goal off a pass from Norman less than two minutes into the frame as the Jumbos' offense kept rolling. Games had a quality chance on the next possession, but was denied by Statile. The Jumbo defense played fantastic as well led by seniors Hedy Veith and Maddy Schwartz as they didn't allow a goal for the first 13 minutes of the second half. Dias netted a goal with 16:35 remaining for the Bobcats' first goal of the half. After the goal, Dias got another good chance, but Tufts first-year Molly Laliberty made a nice save on the ball.
Tufts senior Gabby Vinci accounted for the contest's next goal off a free-position shot. Fellow Jumbo senior Maria Dattolo had a hand in the next two goals as she scored one and then found Briody for the second. Vinci then found senior Dakota Adamec as the Jumbos' run was extended to four unanswered goals. Dattolo scored the contest's final goal with 8:15 remaining for the Jumbos' 19-5 win. Tufts' defense in the second half only allowed one goal.
For the game, Tufts attempted 31 shots with 25 going on goal and Bates tallied 18 shots with 13 reaching goal. The Jumbos won 16 draw controls and the Bobcats recorded 10. Tufts was an perfect 4-4 on free-position shots. Both teams scooped up 11 ground balls in the contest.
Dattolo chipped in two goals and an assist in the game for Tufts. Grygiel dished out a game-high two assists and had a team-leading two ground balls. Vinci recorded a goal and an assist. There were 13 different Jumbos who recorded a point in the game. Evers and Laliberty combined to save eight Bobcat shots.
Dias led Bates' offense with two goals and won a game-high four draw controls. Tveter, Allard, and Hutchins also chipped in with goals. Six different Bobcats recorded at least a point in the game. Statile stopped six Jumbo shots on the night.
Tufts returns to action on Saturday afternoon at 2 pm when they travel to No. 3 Middlebury in a game that will have large implications in NESCAC seeding. Bates travels to No. 11 Amherst on Saturday with a 12pm start time.

Enecuum - the world's first and only blockchain platform with the possibility of mobile mining. Enecuum uses a hybrid consensus algorithm. Its mining component is based on an improved version of Bitcoin-NG which allows for the mining of many different network blocks in parallel. The platform is optimized for building business applications focused on solving practical problems, including those from the real sector of the economy. Security is one of the key standards that the Enecuum team is guided by. That's why Enecuum is launching 1-week bug bounty program, from July 16th till July 23rd, to test their smart contracts.
ENQ is based on the ERC20 token, MultiSig Wallet (by Gnosis) and some utilitarian contracts. All contracts use the latest stable version of the Solidity language (except dependencies, which we can't control) and have passed internal tests and audits.
Smart contracts from the scope are listed here: https://github.com/633kh4ck/ENQ-ICO
The scope is limited ONLY to smart contracts.
Note that contract ICO.sol is not compilable because of graph linearization issues in OpenZeppelin contract, which can't change be changed by Enecuum team (but they inherit from it), thus, team is patching the issue locally for compilation.In order to compile contract you also need to make local patch - change inheritance order in Whitelist.sol.
We are looking for an evidence and reasons of incorrect behavior of the smart contract, which could cause unintended functionality. We are interested in the following vulnerabilities that can lead to scenarios from Tier 1, Tier 2 :
We appreciate your efforts in taking out time and pointing it out to Enecuum Team, it helps us be better in our approach.
Enecuum Team is highly interested in 2 types of vulnerabilities:
1) Tier 1 - prize fund is 109970 HKN
Vulnerabilities that lead to loss of value (tokens or broadcast) or that provide an ability for an intruder to steal legitimate users' funds.
2) Tier 2 - prize fund is 73313 HKN
Vulnerabilities that do not lead to a loss of value (tokens or broadcasts), but which can lead to errors that block users' funds and so on.
The prize fund of 20,000 USD is a common prize fund and it will be distributed among those who find unique vulnerabilities in Enecuum smart contracts. If no one can find any vulnerabilities, this prize fund will be donated to the educational program to study blockchain or blockchain hackathon.
In general, the following vulnerabilities do not correspond to the severity threshold:
A Token smart contract implements the ERC20 standard and extends it to be burnable (useful for future migration to one's own blockchain), pausable (useful for force majeure situations) and capped (we can't mint more tokens than the defined hard cap). During the process of initialization, it accepts the address of the beneficiary wallet for initial supply (a multisig wallet address in our case). The token name, its symbol, the number of decimals and the cap are hardcoded.
A Crowdsale (private sale) smart contract implements and extends the following interfaces and contracts: MintedCrowdsale, CappedCrowdsale, IndividuallyCappedCrowdsale, FinalizableCrowdsale, WhitelistedCrowdsale, PausableCrowdsale, and FiatCrowdsale. Most of these come from the OpenZeppelin framework and were actually developed by the Zeppelin team, and some of them were developed by us. The contract accepts payments in ETH (formally USD, the FiatCrowdsale contract does it's magic via Oraclize and converts wei to cents) and checks to ensure that:
Then it interacts with the Token contract to mint tokens, deploy the TokenVesting contract for the sender (if it does not already exist), and then it transfers tokens to the TokenVesting contract.
After that, it sends the deposited ETH to the MultiSig Wallet.
Every four hours this contract will be called by Oraclize (blockchain oracle service) contract to perform an automatic fiat/ETH rate update (exchange rate). The invested wei will be converted to cents automatically, because all of params are stored in cents in the smart contract [this logic implemented in the FiatCrowdsale contract]. In the process of initialisation, it accepts:
It implements some useful methods to change params. No hardcoded data.
The Wallet contract fully implements the multisignature wallet with daily limit by Gnosis, and it can be extended to implement some additional features in the future releases.
The TokenVesting contract is a token holder that can release its token balance gradually like a typical vesting scheme, with a cliff and vesting period; it fully implements TokenVesting by the OpenZeppelin team.
All contracts have several system functions to perform administrative management, which will not be discussed in this document.
Hint: all the links in the flowchart demonstrate not only the interaction between contracts, but also administrative capabilities (thus, the MultiSig Wallet can't directly interact with the TokenVesting or Token contracts and so on).
This program have been found on Hackenproof on 2018-10-15.

When I'm sampling in sounds through the record inputs of my 3K I'm getting a lot of distortion. The record level meter is not clipping. It's still distorting when I play the sound in at low levels. Any ideas whats up here?

The golden age of exploration
This is an extract for the Black Country Geological Society newsletter. The end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries can be regarded as the golden age of polar exploration and there was great interest in Antarctica, both from the British and Norwegians. There were many expeditions culminating in Amundsen reaching the South [...]

Snowball Earth – The argument against…
In last week's blog I outlined the evidence put forward for a worldwide glaciation in the Neoproterozoic, supported by geophysical and geochemical evidence. However, as with all ground breaking developments, other geologists look at the exposures and geophysical data and come to rather different conclusions. The basis of the idea is generated by the Neoproterozoic [...]

Snowball Earth – The argument for…
Worldwide Precambrian tillites have been recognised for some time. The closest to us is the Port Askaig Tillite in the Dalradian. Many contain striated boulders; the Smalfjord diamictite in northern Norway rests upon a striated pavement. The term diamictite is now generally used for tillites and rocks with a similar lithology. As geological knowledge and [...]

Erratic ice of the Black Country
This is an extract from the Black Country Geological Society (BCGS) Newsletter 210 December 2011. In many of the articles I have read about local glacial erratics, there arise the problems related to age; which glaciation was responsible for their transport and deposition. I thought that with a few days concentrated research I might throw [...]
