Iron Galaxy has released a new developer diary for Extinction, which wowed gamers last spring with its reveal. I got to see a hands-off demo of the game, and liked what I saw, so it's nice to get this video to show off the updates that have been made since last year. You can check out the developer diary above.
Below you can find more details on the game's features. Extinction is releasing on April 10, 2018 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
About Extinction
Story and Features
The world of Extinction has always been at war with itself. When a giant portal opens in the land of Dolorum, the massive threats only spoken of in children's fairy tales suddenly come to life. Our hero in this story is named Avil, a new trainee inducted into an ancient order known as the Sentinels, dedicated to preserving the knowledge of the monstrous threats called Ravenii – and the techniques to eliminate them. Unfortunately, the Sentinel order has degraded over the years and Avil is now the last hope for humanity.
Skill-Based Combat
Known for their work on fighting games, Iron Galaxy has applied their expertise to the action-adventure genre. Avil has a wide variety of skills and attacks he can execute on the horde of minions trailing in the wake of each Ravenii. Players can cancel into almost any attack they want at any time, switching seamlessly between single strikes, sweeping area of effect (AOE) attacks, knocking enemies into the sky for an aerial combo, and more.
Defending Dolorum
Avil's key to permanently eliminating the Ravenii is the Rune Strike. This wicked attack can be used to dismember the massive ogres, and can be further powered up by saving people, killing Jackals, destroying Ravenii armor, dismembering the Ravenii themselves, and accomplishing objectives within each mission. One fell swoop is all Avil needs to stop a Ravenii, but these giant beasts won't make it easy.
Gameplay and Strategy
All of the options Avil has when traveling through the city, he can also use on Ravenii, such as running vertically up a surface or using his whip to grapple to new heights. There are many types of Ravenii, each with their own attacks, armor and weapon combinations, and behaviors. Avil will need to overcome the challenge of climbing up the massive monsters, removing their armor, avoiding spikes and other obstacles that might hurt him, while also dodging the giant's attacks long enough to perform a devastating Rune Strike and decapitate the Ravenii. Prioritizing competing objectives with the threat of civilians dying and towns being destroyed is what will truly test the skills of the player.

Despite Ripple, Cardano and Stellar Hype – Litecoin Still Dominates Liquidity and Volume
Market Volume as an Indicator
Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA) and Stellar (XLM) were three of the hottest altcoins of 2017 all seeing explosive growth to storm to the top on CoinMarketCap.com. All three are working to become new financial transaction means promising fast cross-border payments and partnering with banks and businesses to expand. Yet despite the hype, Litecoin is still the market leader in liquidity when compared to market cap.
Envion now a Top-10 ICO – check it out here.
The evolution of the crypto-market is full of volatility with most digital coins trading on news both positive and negative. Many of the top names have been around less than one year and yet find themselves worth billions. Crypto-markets are propagating worldwide allowing for near instant trading of digital assets which are only limited by the power of an internet connection.
Despite the hype, Litecoin (LTC) continues to dominate in trading volume. Volume and liquidity allows price stability but also allows for movement. Limited liquidity prevents a large movement in transaction volume and can lead to wide bid-ask splits causing increased volatility in an assets value. During the recent market sell-off we saw this with some of the largest names in crypto with Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA) and Stellar (XLM) moving big to the downside followed by large recoveries despite not much change in volume. All the while Litecoin (LTC) continued chugging along indicating acceptance and use even in a down market.
Litecoin Liquidity Explained
Litecoin has long been the market leader in volume and liquidity as a percentage of market cap. With a market cap at $14 billion per CoinMarketCap and a 24-hour market volume of $1 billion for 4.1% liquidity to market cap. As we will see with Ripple, Cardano and Stellar 4% is a good healthy volume.
More interesting, the last 7 days which covers the recent sell-off and recovery shows what we have long believed with market volume decreasing during a sell-off and increasing into strength. As crypto-markets are volatile from day to day and even intra-day it is hard to say a "bull" or "bear" market. It is more of a momentum indicator and points to holders not interested in selling weakness but excited to buy strength.
Here we see with the help of top-notch graphic artists that volume followed price over the last week. With price declining, volume decreased. As price stabilized volume held firm and is showing recovery as the price starts to recover today. Watch the volume over the next few hours to see if it follows price.
Ripple Market Volume Explained
Ripple promises to serve as a cross border payment platform offering fast, cheap payment remissions to banks and financial institutions. The list of partners is long with banks like Santander, Shinhan, and American Express among the largest. Despite the list, Ripple has never competed with Litecoin on total liquidity.
Ripple has a market cap at press-time of $77 billion and total volume of $1.9 billion over the last 24 hours. Total liquidity on the Ripple network is 2.4% with total volume just below twice Litecoin's despite the much higher market cap. Ripple is a bit different product however which the XRP token being used outside of exchanges to send and receive payments. In the end however, these cross border payments still need converting to fiat currency for banks and financial institutions to use it as a viable system. With only $2 billion in total volume this limits the growth potential of Ripple for now.
Unlike Litecoin which has seen a bit of a recovery, Ripple has been in some downward price pressure which reflects in the decreasing volume. Watch the volume for an uptick as a possible indication of strength in price. If it happens as we suspect, will be sure to pat ourselves on the back in our next article.
Cardano and Stellar
Our graphics team refused to make more charts so we will review the numbers here. Cardano has a market cap today at an impressive $22.4 billion placing it solidly ahead of Litecoin. As we recently covered, some wallet issues have plagued the network and trading has reflected at only $276 million. Total liquidity less than half of Ripple at 1.1%. Any news on Cardano has the ability to cause wide swings but limited trading also does not reflect accurate value of the ADA coins.
Stellar is a competitor of Ripple for cross-border payments and point-of-sale crypto payments direct to businesses. While not as big as Ripple it has seen outsize growth in the last 6 months and now sits at $11.6 billion with total volume over 24 hours of $172 million. Total liquidity just above Cardano at 1.5% but less than Ripple and far behind Litecoin.
Volume = Stability and Follows price
None of this stands 100% of the time. Volume is simply an indicator. Litecoin (LTC) is a maturing coin which has been around for years growing acceptance and users while Ripple (XRP), Stellar (XLM) and Cardano (ADA) are part of the second generation blockchain economy. Continue to watch the volume on the market leaders and see if it indicates market direction as we think it does.

Renewables broke new records in 2016, largely as a result of booming solar photovoltaic deployment in China, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The agency's Renewables 2017 forecast, published this week, says solar capacity worldwide rose by 50% last year, to 74GW, of which almost a half was in China.

What a fantastic couple of days our school enjoyed last week – our annual Faction Athletics Carnival.
It took place over two days for our Pre-primary to year 6 students, participating in a wide variety of athletic and novelty events. Starting on Tuesday, our year 3-6 students travelled to Langford Oval for sprints, 200m, 400m, shot put, turbojav, vortex, long jump and novelty races in a fun filled day in the sun. There were many great individual performances, with several school records tumbling. The day finished with a parents' race which was a lot of fun.
On Thursday our Day #2 commenced with our 'littlies' marching onto the Annex oval with colour and excitement. A large turn out of parents and grandparents enjoyed the novelty relays and sprints, before joining in with the 'round-n-back' relay. After lunch it was the yr 3 – 6 students' turn to show their stuff. Many close finishes in the novelty relays and sprints made the day very exciting, with the mixed baton relays the highlight. Once again the parents entertained the students with a ladies and mens race, followed by faction captains vs teachers tug-o-war.
Congratulations to Magdlen for their triumphant win, edging out Flynn to take the shield.
The final scores:
Magdlen 1359, Flynn 1221, Leummen 1146, Canning 1106
It was Magdlen who also won the 'Bonus Points' shield, with the greatest accumulation of points from faction tokens, training points and parent involvement.
Our individual champs and runners-up were:
Yr 3 Champions – Mary Massoud and Kyle Willesen
Yr 3 R/up – Alice Cosmelli and Alex Terrell
Yr 4 Champions – Saumia Panchalingham and Deacon Hollow
Yr 4 R/up – Imogen Watters and Sonny Scriven
Yr 5 Champions – Sienna Lilly and Jo-Han Lam
Yr 5 R/up – Charissa Kheng and Nathan Watters
Yr 6 Champions – Summer McCann and Michael McFerrin
Yr 6 R/up – Julie Marmite and Flynn Clemo
Thank you to the many parents and grandparents for helping create a fun and supportive atmosphere on both days. At Queenies we enjoy your wonderful support and it is much appreciated by the staff and students alike. Thank you for the many hands of help on both days too. Thank you to the P and F for all the work they do at Queenies – you are the best! Thank you to our leadership team of Mr O'Neill, Mrs Galbraith and Mrs Anderson for their support. To our wonderful teachers for their time, effort and dedication to providing enriching experiences for our students to enjoy.
And to our awesome students – well done on your efforts, sportsmanship, resilience and smiles. You are what we are all here for!
Thanks – Mr B.

Modular Spectroscopy Offers Sampling Solutions for Every Application
Modular spectroscopy offers tremendous flexibility to adapt to a wide variety of sample types with the change of a few components, and to move between those sampling optics quickly and easily for measurements in the lab or field.
When properly measured, spectral reflectance can yield much of the same information as the eye, but it does so more quantitatively and objectively. A spectral reflectance measurement can compare two similarly colored objects, or different textures. It can also offer information about the material from which a sample is made, since light that is not reflected from a sample is absorbed due to its chemical composition, otherwise it is scattered or transmitted.
Reflection may be specular or diffuse. Very smooth surfaces like mirrors or glass exhibit specular reflection, in which the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. In reality, most surfaces are rough when viewed at a microscopic level, and thus exhibit diffuse reflection, reflecting light through a wide range of angles. The color we perceive from objects is largely diffuse reflection. Many surfaces we perceive as being somewhat shiny or having gloss exhibit a mix of specular and diffuse reflection. When measuring reflection from an object, it is important to consider which type of reflection is dominant, and whether only some or all of the reflected light needs to be collected. With food applications, most reflection measurements will be diffuse reflection.
Reflectance measurements can measure the CIE color coordinates of a sample, or examine the difference between objects for sorting or quality control. The samples may be automotive parts, paint, coffee beans, dyed human hair or lizard skin; we have a sampling accessory suitable for every measurement. Understanding how each optic works to probe the sample is the first step in configuring a system, so let's begin there.
Reflection Probes
A reflection probe is great for making quick measurements and for applications where a small spot size needs to be sampled. It can measure either specular or diffuse reflectance, and is compatible with a preconfigured UV-Vis or Vis-NIR spectrometer and any light source (provided the probe fiber matches the wavelength range of the light source). The downside is that it illuminates and detects from the same direction, so it sees only a portion of the reflected light. Measurements made with a reflection probe are relative measurements.
A reflection stage with reflection probe is convenient for granular samples, or when transmission also needs to be measured. The illuminated stage even has active cooling to reduce the risk of overheating samples placed directly on the sample stage, which can be important with biological and organic samples, or those with low melting points.
A reflection probe collects light at the same angle as it illuminates, and can be used for either specular or diffuse reflection measurements. It's made of 6 illumination fibers around a single read fiber, which results in a 25° full angle field of view. It seems intuitive to connect the 6 fiber leg to the spectrometer, but it is actually more efficient to use the single fiber leg for detection. That's because each illumination fiber projects a cone of light from the source. All of them overlap at the sample in the center, exactly where the read fiber is "looking."
To measure specular reflectance, position the probe at 90° to the sample. For diffuse reflectance, work at an angle. Remember that the rays from the illumination fibers need some space to overlap and create reflected light, so the reflection probe needs to be pulled back slightly from the surface of the sample. Be careful not to scratch or dent the surface of the sample with the probe tip. Using a reflection probe holder keeps the working distance consistent from one sample to the next, and when taking a reference measurement. A standard probe holder for works well for flat samples, while a curved surface probe holder with an O-ring contact adapts more easily to irregularly contoured surfaces.
Example food applications:
Near-Infrared Diffuse Reflection Analysis of Fruit
Diffuse Reflectance Analysis of Seeds and Grains
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis of Powders and Grains
Determining the Spot Size of a Reflection Probe
When working at 90°, the diameter of the sample area being measured will be equal to ~½ of the distance, d, between the end of the probe and the sample. At 45° angle of incidence, it becomes an oval that is 0.44d by 0.63d.
To see exactly where the reflection probe is reading light from the sample, attach the read fiber to the light source temporarily. The spot illuminated on the sample is exactly where that read fiber is "looking." If using the RPH-1 probe holder, turn the holder over and place a piece of paper on the contact surface to see the spot size illuminated through the paper.
Integrating Spheres
An integrating sphere is a good idea if the reflectivity of the sample seems to change at different viewing angles. This happens with rough surfaces like brushed metal, fish scales, and seeds. An integrating sphere has a 180° view of the reflected light, yielding more accurate (and absolute) reflectance measurements. An integrating sphere can even be used for convex curved surfaces, or to measure the color of objects that are small enough to fit into the sphere. Ocean Optics integrating spheres view a 5 mm to 8 mm spot size of the sample.
An integrating sphere's magic comes from the perfectly diffusing interior surface. Light enters through a circular input port and is scattered repeatedly by the sphere's inner wall until the light inside the sphere is uniform, regardless of any spatial, angular, or polarization variations in the input. A fiber placed at 90° to the input port then samples a tiny fraction of the light within the sphere, sending it to the spectrometer. A baffle in front of the fiber port helps block any light rays making their first reflection from the sample port.
Free-Space Sampling with Collimating Lenses
Collimating lenses can be used at the ends of individual fibers to truly customize the angle of incidence and angle of collection when making reflectance measurements. Specular or diffuse reflectance can be measured this way inexpensively, but much more alignment is needed up front, as is additional fixturing. The collimating lenses need to be adjusted carefully to avoid beam divergence and get good signal, making this a more time-consuming method. We also find that color measurements taken using collimating lenses and fibers are not as accurate as those made using an integrating sphere.
Dynamic Sampling for Granular Samples
Dynamic sampling is a technique where rotational or linear motion is used to measure an "average" signal. This removes localized variance from the results, improving measurements of inhomogeneous samples such as grains, feed and soil.
Also, dynamic sampling is a great way to improve the consistency of any measurement — in color applications, for example, or in UV-Vis reflectance setups. It is a simple yet powerful way to improve the repeatability and accuracy of your spectroscopic measurements. Our dynamic sampling stage rotates the sample beneath the measurement probe and allows the probe to scan multiple areas over the sample, over multiple acquisitions.
Example food application: Dynamic Sampling for NIR Food Measurement
Working with Powders and Dense Liquids
An angled reflection probe works well for measuring granular samples or dense liquids. It is designed with a 45° angled window offset from the end of the reflection probe, allowing the light from the fiber to expand before illuminating the sample material. The window provides a consistent sampling surface, allowing the probe to be immersed directly into the powder or liquid to yield repeatable reflectance spectra.
A regular reflection probe also can be used in combination with a petri dish or microscope slide to look at powdered samples in a pinch. Illuminating the petri dish or slide from below creates a flat sample surface at a consistent working distance from the reflection probe. A flat sample surface will give more consistent results with similar baselines as compared to reflecting off the uneven upper surface of the sample.
Ocean Optics offers many sampling accessories for reflectance measurements, allowing the flexibility to change between sample types dynamically in the lab or the field. Our application engineers can assist you in choosing the right sampling accessory options for your measurement, matching the wavelength range and amount of light needed to the spectrometer, light source and connecting fibers.

The Indian space research organisation ( ISRO ) is the space agency of the Indian government. Established in 1969, by the efforts of independent India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru and his close aid, famous scientist Vikram Sarabhai. Having launched its first satellite Aryabhatta on 19 April 1975, ISRO has come a long way since then and has constantly proved its mettle. ISRO is truly a pride of India.
Here are some never known before facts about ISRO.
1. SLV-3 was India's first indigenous satellite launch vehicle and Dr A P J Abdul Kalam was the director of the project
2. ISRO's expenditure in the last 40 years is equal to half of NASA's single year budget
3. ISRO's budget is only 0.34 percent of the central government expenditure at present and 0.08 percent of the gross domestic product.
4. ISRO also has developed BHUVAN, which is web-based 3D satellite imagery tool which is the Indian incarnation of Google Earth.
5. ISRO has 13 centres spread all across India.
6. ISRO's annual turnover is of approximately ₹ 14 billion.
7. Recently ISRO has developed its new corporate arm by the name of ANTRIX whose clientele includes Europe, Middle East and South East Asia.
8. Apart from the splendid board of director of ANTRIX, it also boasts of a name like Ratan Tata and Jamshed Godrej.
9. ISRO's Mars mission is the cheapest so far with the travelling cost of just 450 crores that is ₹12 per km, equivalent to auto fare in India.
10. India is the only one country who has reached to the Mars in its very first attempt.
11. Apart from some record breaking achievements, ISRO has another unusual record of having the most number of bachelor's in any scientific organisation.
12. Unlike others, ISRO doesn't buy stuff from other countries rather make them on their own hence reducing cost.
13. ISRO is one of the six space agencies In the world with the capability to build and launch satellites from its own soil with the help of its own navigational satellites, IRNSS.
14. ISRO has till date launched 23 consecutive successful PSLV launches.

Whether you journal with pen or with a keyboard this checklist of journaling prompts will help keep you writing if you feel you don't have anything to write about.
Werewolves are very symbolic and often characterize repressed instincts or the shadow self in literature and in goals. Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde was also inspired by a dream and should have comparable meaning. Angela, This was an fascinating. Animals will be strange at time. I've heard if a dog yawns it means he is being friendly or submissive. Also to not pet a strange canine on the top as a result of to him it is an aggressive move. Like I said, animals are strange. I pinned this one.
Mayor's activity drive on self-discipline—went from zero tolerance to zero self-discipline, and that we're on the lookout for place in center. Says zero something does not work. Says Cuomo has no thought what's going on because he doesn't spend time in faculties. Says he is now taking cues from de Blasio, e.g group learning faculties. In line with his career as a comedian, Margaret Keane opted to paint the Jerry Lewis family as harlequins. The painting took two months to finish.
On a really darkish and cold Saturday evening we found ourselves in Hackney Wick, and in need of hot mulled ciders, tasty grub and good tunes we turned up at Turntables (turn, turn, turn..ha). First, you would need to weigh the rocks to determine their comparative weight against a liter of water (kg), and then use that quantity to state the mass. My cats have by no means bitten me exhausting enough to interrupt the pores and skin, even after they had been little. Their bites do not really damage, both.
As well as expressing love at first sight, to offer or receive this colour additionally has the meaning of wanting a relationship to blossom and develop. You want a relationship to maneuver on and go further. You're in search of a extra meaningful love. I additionally tried just a little logwood and recent flax blend and the green was a copper mordanted yarn with flax and a tiny amount of Saxon indigo. Use padlocks on gates leading to your backyard. Remember those that might go from your backyard to an alleyway.…

All too often, tribute albums are reserved for the deceased or the mega-famous. Thankfully, Adam Carroll is still alive and well. And while he's not a household name, Highway Prayer: A Tribute to Adam Carroll is proof that he should be.
Highway Prayer, released on Oct. 28 on Eight 30 Records, features a crew of incredible artists performing the songs of Carroll, an East Texas native who's been compared to Townes Van Zandt and John Prine.
Hayes Carll counts the Texas troubadour among his biggest influences as a songwriter.
"When I was first starting out I used to skip my own gigs to go watch him," Carll told No Depression in 2011. "In Texas in the late 90's, early 2000's, he was by far my favorite, somebody whose writing style I emulated in some ways.
Carll takes on Carroll's "Girl With the Dirty Hair" for the tribute record and the result is nothing short of magical. His gritty voice is the perfect match for Carroll's ode to love and debauchery on the Gulf Coast.
Listen to the track below:
Jamie Lin Wilson's spin on the funky-sweet "Hi Fi Love" is another standout track. Who could resist lyrics like "Freebird rockin', white trash hi fi love"?
The album is a who's who of Texas singer-songwriters, including James McMurtry, Terri Hendrix, Slaid Cleaves and Walt Wilkins. Highway Prayer feels like a drive through Texas, with stories from BBQ joints, Galveston dive bars and East Texas backwoods all rolled into one wild and wonderful trip.

Good new South Dakota outdoors blog
If you ever spend time in South Dakota, or would like to, here's a Web log you might want to add to your favorites.
The blog tracks the travels and thoughts of Buddy Seiner from the South Dakota Office of Tourism. But it doesn't read like an infomercial. More like a blog about what's going on outdoors in South Dakota.Story and comments
A pack of wolves hunting morels
Flathead's Picture of the Week features the Princeville Pack 52 Wolf cub scouts during a morel mushroom hunt late Tuesday afternoon in Peoria county. The wolves picked up 40 morels (mostly greys), 4 old bottles, 3 aluminum cans, 1 corn seed sign, 1 deer leg, lots of mud and saw 2 turkeys and 1 deer. Looks like they had fun in the process.Story and comments
Open Blog Thursday
Yes, it's Thursday. To compound my workload, the wife and I went to see Cats last night in Peoria. Surely my Thursday filled with work has nothing to do with spending Monday fishing and searching for morels when I should have been chained to a desk. At any rate, "Help!"
FROM Tom Bodtke of Peoria:
Mushroom season is here again and I wanted to remind everyone to collect their mushrooms in bags that reseed the spores. You can use old onion bags or old ham and turkey netted bags. You reseed your favorite mushroom ground for next year as you look for this years mushrooms. Good hunting to everyone!
FROM Marc Rogers:
I am a tournament angler as many others are but people have to remember that the state laws do allow for anglers to keep fish to eat. This includes bass and the state laws are followed with creel limits in every tournament I have ever fished.
There are some people getting carried away with the catch and release on some bodies of water and this results in slot limits to harvest the smaller bass. Many anglers need to see past the bass being pets and realize it is okay to harvest some of these fish. Also, these kids were proud of their catch regardless of the live well issues they had that day.
As far as I am concerned your apology wasn't needed. Keep up the good reporting for the kids sake.
FROM Brad Douglas of Mackinaw:
I am writing to you asking if you have heard of a new bill called HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009: basically this bill would make it illegal to own a firearm, any rifle, with a clip or any pistol unless: it is registered, you are fingerprinted, you supply a current driver's license, you supply your social security number, you will submit to a physical and mental evaluation at any time of their choosing, each update- change of ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25. Failure to do so and you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject to up to a year in jail. Also there is a child–access provision indicating a gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18. The government would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 years in prison.
FROM Herb Unkrich of Edwards:
Here is what is happening with the bluebirds this spring. Even with the cold spring the box in my yard tied the earliest that I had my first egg which is March 31. There is such a shortage on insects due to the cold weather-that I have seen them take the home made bird food to the nest box to feed the young. I have 54 nest going, 212 eggs and 20 babies. The sparrows have been really bad this year trapping 72, even with that 7 more bluebird nest have been taken over by sparrows. I am guessing next that the buffalo gnats will be coming which can suck the blood out of the babies. I take a cotton ball that is soaked in "pure vanilla" and coat the openings on the boxes. I have also heard of spraying the babies and nest with "eucalyptus oil" to keep the buffalo gnats off, the bluebirds have no sense of smell.
Story and comments
Frost bite on a turkey toe
Frost bite can be tough on humans and tough on critters, too. The feet above and at right belong to a turkey shot on opening day of the 2009 North Zone season by Frank Baxter in Peoria County.
The bird acted normal and came right into decoys despite the rainy morning. Only after shooting the gobbler did Frank realize he'd shot a peg-legged old gimp.
Look at those toes. Nasty. But the bird moved fine.
Story and comments
Morels fair, not great in central Illinois
Dave Scifres of Morton found these monster mushrooms last year in Tazewell County in the last week of May.
That's worth noting, since many morel hunters have been hitting the woods en masse of late with limited success. I posted some success stories yesterday. And there have been more reported today. But so far there have been no tales of the morel motherlode here in central Illinois.
No question, yellows are up. And some decent-sized ones. But most mushroomers I've heard from today are talking about half bags. Some are still finding mostly grays. That should change as soon as we get a bit more warmth. And for a change, a little dry weather would help.
Maybe then we can start finding mushrooms as tall as those Scifres is hoisting above.Story and comments

What do you get when you combine your three favorite fabrics? Your awesome new favorite T-shirt, of course! Promotional apparel is moving into triple material territory.
The blend of cotton for breathable comfort, polyester for shape and wrinkle resistance, and rayon for cuddly softness creates a triple style threat. The form-fitting shape and little bit of give also create a much more flattering look than any of those fabrics could offer standing alone. And the tee already offers that broken-in feeling without compromising a shred of durability.
These screenprinted shirts happen to capitalize on another huge apparel trend too—the heathered look. Each of the color options, in both the men's and ladies' styles, features a sporty variegated look. A little old school and a lot modern style. Move over vintage tees!

(PRWEB) September 22, 2017
"Letters From Home": a moving compilation of letters that remind readers of the fact that all people, even the lost, have value to God. "Letters From Home" is the creation of published author, John Allred, a passionate leader of ministry to new believers and a member of the President's Cabinet of Jerry Savelle Ministries International, who has traveled and ministered on four continents.
"It is my hope and daily prayer that many lost sons and daughters find themselves turning for home in the days ahead."—John Allred
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, John Allred's new book is an encouraging and moving compilation of letters reminding the reader that it is nearly impossible to over-estimate a person's value to God.
To answer the complaints of the religious leaders of the time, Jesus told a large crowd three stories in quick succession. In each story something of value was lost or out of place. In the first story, it was a sheep. In the second, it was a silver coin. In the third and most compelling story, what went missing was a son.
The words spoken by Jesus revealed God's heart for those misplaced in this life. Though many had been rejected by the religious system of the day, the plan of Jesus was to gather the rejected, the outcast, that generation of lost sons and daughters, to himself. The central message conveyed in each story told by Jesus that day was that what has been lost or misplaced has not lost its value to God.
In this book, John Allred shares a father's heart with those who are out of place. It consists of six letters written from the perspective of a patient loving father calling wayward children home.
The message to the missing sons and daughters comes through loud and clear. Jesus came for the hurting, the lonely, and the lost. God values these, so Jesus came for these.
The word to the church is also compelling. The Father's heart is for the one lost sheep. It is a great responsibility to take on the role of the shepherd and remember the one, to go after the one, and to receive the one.
View a synopsis of "Letters From Home" on YouTube.
Consumers can purchase"Letters From Home" at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, Kobo or Barnes and Noble.

Thursday the conference got underway in earnest …
As I had arrived a day early on Wednesday and registration wasn't until 5-ish, I took some time to loaf around, do some shopping and scope out the local flavour in Dupont Circle. When I got back to the hotel, I got to meet more folks and catch up with people i've chatted with online or haven't seen in forever. Think the Mad Priest dinner to the nth degree. There are literally hundreds of people in a big ole' love fest. Will write more soon, but i've got folks here waiting to use the computer …
And I have to tell you all about Episco-dar. It's like gaydar, but for Episcopalians….
There is a good sized contingent of Episcopalians and Anglicans here, and we have a habit of seeking each other out. The tendency is to congregate over glasses of wine or other fine libations. I cannot tell you the number of times i've been in a circle of random folks only to find out that we're all part of that wonderful, messy, comprehensive, dysfunctional, we're-a-mess-but-there's-nowhere-else-we'd-rather-be family connected through Canterbury and Common Prayer…It's like an instinct where we just come together. Scary, but true. So that's Episco-dar.
After the registration time was over we had some worship time and some prayer, then the founder of the group, Justin Lee, gave a keynote address and welcome. The folks that are here are a wonderful representation of the body of Christ from all over the US, some folks from Canada, the UK, and even Australia!
There are survivors of ex-gay programs (they call themselves ex-ex gay or ex-gay survivors). There are folks who are still in the closet. There are those who are still struggling to reconcile what they have been taught in their churches about being gay with what they feel in their heart about God's inclusive love for us all. There are those who feel called to be celibate. And finally, there are those like me who have fully integrated their faith and their sexuality and are liberated by the Gospel.
So many people are here who feel like outcasts in their respective churches and communities and families, but for 3 or 4 days, they know and experience the liberating and all-encompassing power of Christ.
Justin's unique gift is to somehow relate to all of these strands of thought and reach people on various stages of their journey of faith, to break down boundaries and make the radical welcome of God and the message of Gospel relevant. If we want to know how to reach our young people, our teenagers and 20-somethings, this guy is a good place to start.
After that we all retired to the bar for "coffee hour" where the instigators were in full force. People keep trying to include me with the troublmaking contingent, but i just don't know why. After "coffee hour" the speakeasy society reconvened and we adjourned at approximately 4am.
I can assure you I am being VERY well behaved.
OK, maybe not so much.
But I can tell you this conference is a taste of what heaven must be like. People of all sorts and conditions coming together, sharing their gifts, their stories, fellowshipping together. The love and affection that is present is so very tangible.

"The only pledge I'd sign is a pledge to sign no more pledges." That bit of wisdom came from Rep. Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican, during his successful run for a U.S. Senate seat. Now a few of his more courageous colleagues are taking the same path and renouncing the politics of purity.
For more than 25 years, most Republican officeholders have bowed to the browbeating of one unelected, unappointed lobbyist named Grover Norquist, who demanded they sign a pledge to never raise taxes of any kind. That vow ranks as one of the worst ideas to infect Washington in the last generation, so the "no more pledges" movement is especially heartening.
A total ban on new taxes cripples the ability of the government to meet its mounting fiscal obligations. Every sane person in the capital knows additional revenue must be part of any deal to diminish the deficit. So no new taxes means no deal. Ever.
But Norquistism is even worse than that. It epitomizes the larger idea of politics as theology, as holy war. Orthodoxy is demanded and enforced. Heretics are burned at the stake (or at least challenged in primaries). Compromise, one of the noblest words in the political language, is denounced as caving in and selling out.
Principles are essential in politics. So are goals and demands and negotiating positions. But this is a vast country that encompasses a wide diversity of races and nationalities, religions and ideologies, geographical and economic interests. It cannot function without compromise.
Norquistism is essentially undemocratic, because democracy depends on a decent respect for differing opinions and viewpoints. Without that respect, Democrats and Republicans become Sunnis and Shiites, and Washington becomes Baghdad without the car bombs.
The great genius that separates us from Europe (to say nothing of the Middle East) is the essential pragmatism of the American spirit. We do what works. We live in a real world, not an ideological fantasy land.
That's why the last few days have been so encouraging. A growing number of Republicans have been willing to say: The Emperor Grover has no clothes and no power, as long as enough Republicans stand up and defy him.
Here's Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina: "I will violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the country ... the only pledge we should be making to each other is to avoid being Greece." And Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia: "I care more about the country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge. If we do it (Norquist's) way, then we'll continue in debt ... I'm willing to do the right thing and let the political consequences take care of themselves."
But this outbreak of realism has to work both ways and cross party lines. Graham is right to say he'll support new taxes only "if Democrats will do entitlement reform." Yes, President Barack Obama won the election, and, no, the Democrats don't have anyone as doctrinal or domineering as Norquist. But liberal interest groups are massing to defend every dime of existing benefits, and the president and his allies have to be willing to take them on.
Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said it well: "The election didn't give either party a mandate. What voters gave both parties is a work order. They told us to work together to solve this problem fairly and wisely."
That kind of cooperation will be hard to accomplish. Along with their "work order," voters sent back a Congress more polarized than ever. Forty-one percent of those voters called themselves moderates, and yet the center is shrinking on Capitol Hill. Reasonable Republicans such as Sens. Olympia Snowe of Maine and Richard Lugar of Indiana will be gone come January. The Blue Dog Democrats, a group of House centrists that once numbered more than 40, will shrink to about 15 members.
Leaders have to lead. The grown-ups have to take back control. The "no more pledges" movement has to gain traction - in both parties.

Compare and Contrast the Narrators in Gulliver's Travels and Frankenstein, the Narrative Methods, and the Effects of These Different Ways of Telling a Story in Gulliver's Travels and Frankenstein.
Ravee Chen
S2 English H
8 April 2010
Word count: 1491
Why do authors use different types of narrators? Jonathan Swift and Mary Shelly have both chosen a first-person narrator in their novels Gulliver's Travels and Frankenstein. In Gulliver's Travels the narrator is Gulliver and the book is a personal account of four voyages to unexplored lands around the globe. In the first voyage he winds up in Littleput where everyone is tiny. During his second trip he is taken to a land of giants called Brobdingnag and on his next journey to Laputa, a floating island of academics. His final journey takes him to a strange land where horses called Houyhnhnms rule humans called Yahoos. Frankenstein is a collection of John Walton's letters. John Walton is the fictional captain of a ship bound for the North Pole who picks up a passenger, Frankenstein, who tells them a strange tale. He tells Walton an account of his scientific creation of a creature that ends up killing all his loved ones. Frankenstein dies and John Walton meets the creature who tells him of his plans to burn himself. While both authors choose to use first-person narration, Swift employs a single narrator while Shelly uses a combination of three. Multiple narrators are needed by Mary Shelly to make her story stronger but Jonathan Swift only uses one narrator because he is writing a travel log. The narrators in both novels along with their effects on the stories can be compared to each other since they are similar but the narrative method used by each author creates unique effects on the reader.
The narrators in Frankenstein and Gulliver's Travels have many similarities. John Walton is the narrator for Frankenstein but sections of the story are told by Victor and the creature giving the story a number of narrators. The reader hears the story from John Walton's letters in which he has written Frankenstein's story. Halfway through the story the narration is given by the creature who tells his story from chapters 11-16. Victor Frankenstein is the main narrator in Frankenstein; therefore, he will be the narrator compared to Gulliver. Frankenstein starts off as a narrator the reader can relate to. In the early stages of the book he is innocent and young; Frankenstein is fascinated by science and strives to achieve great things. Over the course of the novel we watch as that innocent youth is mutated into a disillusioned and obsessed man whose only remaining ambition is to destroy the results of his arrogant scientific experiments. Frankenstein's passion for science drives him so close to insanity that when he was narrating he felt the urge to remind us that it was not "the vision of a madman".(Shelly 53) Another example when Frankenstein's word is not believed is when the Genevan magistrate reverted to his tale as "the effect of delirium."(Shelly 204) Without the support of John Walton's letter Frankenstein would be taken as the tale of a madman since Frankenstein holds very little credibility as a narrator. Like Frankenstein, Gulliver is, originally, logical and reliable. He is able to calmly access the situation in Littleput and our trust is built up in Gulliver as we understand the decisions he made and we agree with him. When he defeats the Blefuscu army, enemies of the Littleputians, the Littleputians plan to enslave the Blefuscudians. However, Gulliver "would never be an Instrument of bringing a free and brave People into Slavery."(Swift 40) Gulliver's refusal to support slavery further builds up our faith in him. His sense of righteousness can be compared to Frankenstein's determination to discover the unknown. However, by as early as book 2 in Gulliver's Travels the narrator has gotten less reliable. In...

Duluth is hot right now, just like it was 50 years ago.
Not temperature hot, of course, but "great place" hot.
Here's the evidence: Duluth received top honors from national outdoors and bike magazines, the outgoing mayor was touted for rejuvenating the city, a national retail company built a new corporate headquarters downtown, population has grown in the 21st Century and tourists flood the place with money during the summer.
But I guess this is nothing new.
On a recent walk through the historic Board of Trade building on First Street, I stumbled on an old poster-sized black and white photo. It was hidden behind a fern near the entrance to a sandwich shop.
It showed how hot Duluth was in 1966.
The old photo shows a view of downtown Duluth from its main thoroughfare Superior Street. The Board of Trade Building can be seen in the upper left corner along with an empty parking lot and period sedans.
What caught my eye was the billboard on the right: "Duluth: A good place to live, work and play."
Some Chamber of Commerce slogans never get old.
Of course, shortly after this old photo was taken Duluth plunged into horrible decline along with the rest of the industrialized midwest. Major manufacturing plants closed, infrastructure wore out, Lake Superior needed a clean-up and winter was still winter.
But now things seem to be back on track.
America has declared manufacturing obsolete. The national economy is now based on good restaurants, on-line shopping, extensive trail networks, quality health care and ample parking.
That empty parking lot my old photo? It's now a four-story parking ramp.
And that's not all: Duluth is one high-quality Mexican restaurant away from eatery greatness; Internet connections are fast and UPS delivers on snowy days; bikers will soon be able to ride from one end of town to the other without seeing a stoplight; and I think there are 12 hospitals in a two block radius downtown.
And which American city will benefit the most from global warming?
Do I really need to tell you?
Duluth: It's still a good place to live, work and play.
