Let me guide you through the poker maze!
Let me guide you through the poker maze!
Does it sometimes feel like poker is an impossible maze? So many decisions to make, every one of which might turn out to be wrong; a dead end forcing you to start back at the beginning, all over again.
It's not unusual to feel lost while playing poker or when reviewing one's game. But what if you had someone with you who had already been through the maze many times before? Someone who could show you not only the correct path, but also how to find your way through the next time around.
As someone who started from the very bottom, playing 5c/10c cash games and $1 sit and goes, grinding up through the limits to a five figure bankroll, through all the trials and tribulations of Black Friday; and with over 100 students and 300 hours of SNG coaching already provided, I'm uniquely placed in the online poker industry to help you find your own poker destination.
As you scroll down please read some of the testimonials for my SNG coaching, check out the sample video and have a look at my results as well as those of my students. Hopefully by the time you've reached the bottom we will have answered all your questions and you'll be happy to let me lead you through the poker maze!

"Had my first coaching with Tim today and he found a big leak in my game and explained why my thinking was so wrong. He even ran way over time just to make sure I had the concepts in my head.
AAA+ coaching Big thanks Tim"

"Had two coaching sessions with Tim64, and must say it's VERY +EV. He explains certain concepts with great clarity. Has a calm cool head, is very polite, and has no problem going overtime if need be. Will be a student for a long time to come, and hope to continue learning lots."

Why would you choose me as your poker coach?
My field of expertise covers the gamut of SnGs on all platforms where such games are found. From Full Ring to 6max, regular speed to hyper turbos and even including the latest offering: Spin & Gos or other "Jackpot" SnG formats.
Knowing what to play, given your particular skillset, is something I can advise on, as well as helping you with decisions on ensuring an appropriate bankroll for your chosen game/limit. We'll get to grips with exactly what it takes to be a winning player in the given format and begin the process of TURNING YOU INTO ONE.
Once into the nitty gritty of playing SNGs profitably we're going to be fine tuning your game from the outset.
Here are some of the things we will cover:
"First coaching session with Tim today was an absolute pleasure. Tim booked me for a time that suited me and his method of teaching was exceptional.
Tim will explain why something does or does not work and in a way that is easy to understand.
I booked in for one hour of coaching, we went through lots of hands and Tim went over the 60 minutes so that we could look at some hands from another game which was awesome.
We focused on a number interesting topics some I was familiar with and some I had never even thought about before and it was real eye opener for me. I won't go into the actual topics but I will say the leaks that I noted down at the end of the session are quite substantial.
The price for Tim's coaching is exceptionally good so if you are looking for a coach I would strongly recommend him. I will be booking more sessions and getting ready for 2015."

The psychological challenges of poker
Technical ability and being able to pass on those concepts to the student are of course a must. But a good poker coach is something much more: a mentor, a confidant, a friend. Poker, unlike many pursuits, is an unusual marriage of psychology and math. Many good players know what they should be doing in theory but have difficulty managing tilt or dealing with downswings and other setbacks in practice. I am able to use patience and listening skills to get to the bottom of whatever it maybe that is holding you back.
Needing some help with the mental game doesn't make you weak, it simply means you recognise that poker is a multifaceted skill. You understand that strength of mind is as important to success as knowing what to do when you turn a flushdraw in a heads up pot.

"Just had my first coaching with Tim. I've only been playing the hypers for maybe 3 weeks or so, but what we went through was exactly what I needed to start looking at my game a bit more in depth and was explained in such an easy to understand way.
Any questions I had were met with a great response and he was even happy to go over a little to finish reviewing the game we were on - wasn't just looking to finish it asap to finish up.
Very happy customer and no doubt ill be looking for more support in the new year.
Thanks again"
'DannyG13' - 23.12.2014
"Had 5 hrs coaching with Tim64 and was very impressed with what I got. I Have had a few coaches and Tim has honestly been the best help off all and explains things very deeply and clearly. I consider myself to have a decent knowledge of the game and Tim was still able to find some things to help me with. He is a great player and has a great mind for the games he plays. Highly recommended"
'mavenell' - 19.09.2013
"Had my first two hours of coaching with Tim yesterday and he had the ability to explain things very well. He's constantly asking questions about why you're playing the hand as you play it, pushing you to observe your opponents more, so you can find loads more spots to play a hand under the right circumstances.
I'm so happy I booked an additional third hour to review all games played between the two coachings and I couldn't be happier that it only costs me 15bi.
That and I love English accents"

Frequently Asked Questions about my coachings:
Q. How will coachings be conducted?
A. Coachings take place over Skype, so you'll need a microphone. Coachings will normally involve a hand history review. We will use your database to review your recent games. This will be carried out on your computer, using screen sharing software such as Skype, teamviewer, or joinme. If you don't have a database, you can send your hand histories to me in advance and we'll review them on my computer.
Q. How can I pay?
A. Payment in US $ by Pokerstars player transfer is ideal. You can also pay by Skrill or PayPal if you prefer. If you'd like to pay using another method, please let me know in advance of the coaching.
Q. How long does a coaching session take?
A. The standard unit is one hour, but longer (or shorter) sessions are available if you let me know in advance. You can also use the booking tool accessed via this site to book the session with your preferred duration.
Q. Is payment in advance required?
A. No, I'm happy for you to pay after the coaching (it's my way of ensuring you are happy with everything!)
Q. What if I'm not satisfied?
A. If for any reason you are unhappy with any aspect of the coaching please let me know and I will do all I can to remedy matters. If you're still not happy I'll refund any advance payment made.
Q. Can you watch me play?
A. Sure! One great way to improve is for me to watch you play a session of your normal games. I'll note hands where you could have improved your decision making and offer an overall review of your game at the end.
Q. May I record the session?
A. I'm happy for you to record the session to review again in your own time, as long as you don't share the recording with others. Regrettably, I can't record the sessions myself, due to video-processing time constraints.
" I was already winning SNG 9m/18m player starting to play 30s+ and I wanted to learn smthing new, esp. get much better thinking process, how to be able to get much more information and how to benefit from it, how to think about postflop lines, about my oponents, what they could think based on their stats and tendencies...how to get a little bit outside of my routinne box.
I also remember I played in an autopilot mode, esp. low blind lvls, where I did not get as much value as possible and Tim was definetely one of the impulses I started to think more deeply and get out of the auto mode.
I was really satisfied with his coachings, I learned a lot definetely."
's0cru3l' - 28.02.2015
"I have taken part in a couple of coaching with Tim and also had some leakfinders made by him. He has a good understanding of the game and tries to find the smallest of leaks aswell as the bigger once.
Very nice person to work with overall!"
'variancekiller' - 03.04.2014
"Had a coaching session with Tim and some broad discussions about the nature of 6max SnGs. recently. I have to say Tim impressed me with his effort to understand my line of thought and help me improve my own decision making. I recommend his coachings to everyone who's trying to adapt his thought process to improve his game, I've benefited from his experience greatly."
'Atoks' - 17.10.2012
"Hi all,
Just wanna share my coaching experience with Tim. I can basically wrap it up in one word which is "Awesome"! I like his punctuality, and being able to explain everything thoroughly, clearly, and def. knows how to treat his students well.
I have plenty of leaks which is impossible to fix all in just 5 (+1 free) a few hours. However, Tim has been able to share his expert knowledge and fix a lot of my major leaks, and it was def. worth it all. Afterwards, my graph and ROI have been clearly going in the right direction.
So all in all, I highly recommend you to try Tim out as your (new) SNG Coach."
'zerazid' - 19.10.2013
" I was a breakeven 7$(6max turbos) reg when I started working with Tim. Was staked and coached through all of 2014. You can be sure Tim is gonna help with any topic, I never caught him "off guard", never got an unclear answer. Can't imagine there are many better coaches for 6max turbos out there and he can definitely help with any other SNG and MTT format. Only thing Tim can't teach you is how to run good.
Tim is the guy you need to talk to if you want help in improving your SNG game.
And trust me, you'll only realize how much help you need after you see him at work."
'klompa123' - 26.01.2015
" after 3 coaching sessions i really got shocked when i saw how fast my game and my results improved. Tim definitely has great determination to find the weaknesses on your game and explains why you are doing wrong very clear. Whatever stakes u are playing it is totally worth trying for. After 3 coaching sessions my roi improved almost twice. Also his speech is perfect very easy to understand even if your english not so good. I am very lucky that i found this guy.. Thanks Tim. best wishes..."

The comic book-like frames show hideous monsters oozing through Washington and attacking the White House.
The comic book-like frames show hideous monsters oozing through Washington and attacking the White House.
The improving financial health of the Federal Housing Administration, partly the result of a recovering housing market, is giving the Obama administration room to take executive actions on affordable housing.
Add affordable housing to President Barack Obama's list of unilateral actions on which he's flexing his muscles at an unfriendly Congress.
Long derided by critics as an inflexible ideologue, House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling is about to reach a major compromise to reauthorize the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, potentially boosting his standing as he flexes his muscles in the next Congress.
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the House will vote next week on a plan to extend the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act ahead of a year-end deadline, as congressional sources reported significant progress Thursday toward a compromise agreement.
"Not the first time that I've swallowed hard in my congressional career."
— House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling, regarding his support for a continuing resolution that includes an extension of the authorization of the Export-Import Bank.
It looks increasingly likely that we won't have Ben S. Bernanke to kick around much longer.
Bernanke's second term as chairman of the Federal Reserve ends in January, and he's been mum about his plans.
President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he would nominate Rep. Melvin Watt to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but the initial response from some lawmakers and industry representatives suggests a sharp political fight over his confirmation.
Watt, a North Carolina Democrat and former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, would replace Edward J. DeMarco, who has been at odds with the Obama administration on major housing finance issues since becoming acting director in 2009.
A day after labor and business groups struck a deal on a new guest-worker program, key senators said they are within reach of finalizing an immigration overhaul proposal.
Members of the Senate's bipartisan "gang of eight," which is crafting a comprehensive immigration bill, said they have not signed off on a proposal just yet, but are likely to unveil it next week.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke strongly defended the Fed's monetary stimulus before a Senate panel on Tuesday, saying Congress itself is placing a "significant" burden on the economy with the sequester and urging lawmakers to replace the deep budget cuts set to take effect Friday with more measured, long-term deficit reduction.
Appearing before the Senate Banking Committee, Bernanke gave his most explicit condemnation to date about the sequester's $85 billion in across-the-board cuts and encouraged lawmakers to craft a more thoughtful plan that would not undermine the economy.
The White House is aiming its latest warnings about the dire consequences of deep across-the-board spending cuts at an audience beyond the Beltway, issuing a new report Sunday that breaks down the effects on every state.
Ahead of a black-tie dinner that President Barack Obama is hosting for the country's governors, the administration released details on how each state would be hurt by $85 billion in spending reductions slated to kick in at the end of the week. The White House has been ratcheting up the political pressure on congressional Republicans to work toward a budget deal that would replace the sequester.
The Senate Finance Committee scheduled a vote for Tuesday on Jacob J. Lew's nomination to succeed Timothy F. Geithner as Treasury secretary.
Lew is expected to easily win the panel's backing despite questions about his investments and criticism from some Republicans about his role in budget negotiations, clearing the way for confirmation by the full Senate in the following days.
Jacob J. Lew emerged relatively unscathed from his nomination hearing to serve as Treasury secretary, putting the administration's choice to replace Timothy F. Geithner on a likely easy path to confirmation.
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., told reporters after the hearing that he would schedule a vote on the nomination after the Senate returned from next week's recess. Sen. Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the panel's top Republican, said he had not decided whether to support Lew, but suggested he would not hold up the nomination on the Senate floor if approved by the panel as expected.
Barring an unexpected revelation or major slipup, Jacob J. Lew almost certainly will secure a relatively smooth path to approval as Treasury secretary after a confirmation hearing Wednesday that lawmakers will use as a forum to score political points against Obama administration fiscal policies.
Republican senators have raised questions about Lew, currently the White House chief of staff, on issues ranging from his honesty in representing administration budgets to Congress to his background in finance and his personal investments. But Lew so far hasn't drawn the sharp criticism from the GOP that has greeted several other of President Barack Obama's nominees on Capitol Hill.
Senate Republicans say they once again have the votes to block President Barack Obama's pick to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
In a letter to President Barack Obama on Friday, 43 GOP senators vowed to block the recent nomination of Richard Cordray to direct the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. After Republicans filibustered Cordray's nomination in December 2011, Obama made Cordray a recess appointee in early 2012; that appointment expires at the end of this year, and Obama wants him confirmed for a full five-year term.
Senate Republicans won an important victory over President Barack Obama on Friday, when a federal appeals court ruled that his appointments to the National Labor Relations Board a year ago were unconstitutional. GOP lawmakers quickly responded by calling for the appointees to resign and for the board to shut down.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled 3-0 that Obama overstepped his constitutional authority when he made three appointments to the NLRB while the Senate was on a holiday break in January 2012.
President Barack Obama is making a case for strengthening oversight of the financial industry with his nominations of former prosecutor Mary Jo White to be chairwoman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Richard Cordray as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
"We passed tough reforms to protect consumers in our financial system from the kinds of abuse that nearly brought the economy to its knees," Obama said in a White House announcement. "But it's not enough to change the law. We also need cops on the beat to enforce the law."
Senate Democratic leaders urged President Barack Obama on Friday to be prepared to lift the debt ceiling "without congressional approval" if Republicans block legislation and default is imminent.
The letter from Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and other Democratic leaders signaled they are taking seriously warnings from Republicans who have said they might be willing to see the government shut down rather than allowing a debt ceiling increase without concessions from Obama on spending cuts.
Although White House Chief of Staff Jacob J. Lew has relatively little experience dealing with the financial industry, that may not matter all that much if, as widely reported, President Barack Obama intends to nominate him on Thursday to be the next Treasury secretary.
Outgoing Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, like most of his recent predecessors, brought to the job deep familiarity with financial markets. But with budget negotiations — rather than responding to financial crises or crafting new banking laws — the order of the day for the next Treasury head, many on and off Wall Street view Lew as a sound choice.
With the fight over fiscal cliff issues only just resolved, the battle lines already are being drawn and important policy and economic implications measured for a coming showdown on the federal debt ceiling.
The federal government is expected to run out of borrowing authority by the end of next month, and both parties are readying a high-stakes game of chicken, with Republicans hoping to leverage new spending cuts in return for a debt limit increase and Democrats promising to hold firm in opposition.

Attorney general rips utilities over storm response
HARTFORD -- Attorney General George Jepsen on Monday issued a scathing assessment of Connecticut Light & Power's preparation and response to last year's two major storms that left more than 800,000 customers in the dark.
During a news conference to announce the filing of a 54-page brief to state regulators, Jepsen said he is asking that CL&P's attempt to recover storm-related costs be mostly rejected by state regulators because of the company's "imprudent" conduct that resulted in power outages of up to 10 days.
"CL&P failed to prepare for major weather events, failed in its assessments and failed to adequately communicate with the public and public officials," Jepsen said. "The company's `worst-case scenario' emergency response plan only prepared for 100,000 outages; they had no plan whatsoever for outages on the scale that we saw not once in 2011, but twice."
Jepsen has asked the state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to disallow up to 50 percent of CL&P's restoration and recovery costs.
"CL&P failed to train and support municipal liaisons and failed to defer to local restoration priorities," Jepsen said. "Most significantly, CL&P developed unreasonable estimated restoration times, clinging to an assertion of 99 percent restoration by midnight, Sunday, Nov. 6 long after it was apparent that this was not achievable."
The utility replied that it met industry standards in preparation and reaction to Tropical Storm Irene in August and the freak Halloween weekend snowstorm.
Irene caused 800,000 outages in the CL&P service area, while the Halloween storm, in which heavy snow piled up on power lines and trees, left 880,000 in the dark.
Albert Lara, spokesman for CL&P, said Monday that consultant reports on the storm response underscored the company's response as safe and consistent with the industry standards, although there are areas for improvement.
"Attorney General Jepsen's filing today is part of an ongoing review before PURA in which a final decision is not due until Aug. 1," Lara said in a phone interview. "It wouldn't be appropriate for us to respond to the attorney general's filing outside of the PURA review. As you are aware, these were major storms. However, a number of independent consultants who have reviewed our preparation and response have concluded that CL&P accomplished these restorations safely and in line with industry norms."
Joseph McGee, vice president for public policy at the Business Council of Fairfield County, who served as co-chairman of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's Two Storm Panel, said the attorney general's findings mirror the panel's.
"The real critical issue here is standards," McGee said. "During storms, there are not standards for the performance of utilities on power restoration. It's a national issue, and I felt the industry itself needed to come up with standards, and if they didn't, you'd have standards imposed by the individual states."
During the legislative session that ended May 9, the House and Senate approved a bill that would create standards for utility staffing and requirements for tree trimming and service restoration. Failure to meet those standards could prompt penalties. The measure awaits final action from Malloy.

Seven ways for Christians to love their neighbors even when we disagree
The annual Pride Parade in Seattle drew an estimated 300,000 revelers this year. The air was incredibly festive. Participants had seen victory after victory for their cause, and many others had jumped on the proverbial bandwagon, much as a winning sports team suddenly gathers a lot of new fans.
In the providence of God, I was also preaching that day at our downtown church, located right alongside the parade route. This is the city Jesus has called me to serve, and I've been ministering here now for about two decades. I can assure you, it's complicated.
What does it look like to remain faithful to God while loving neighbors who passionately disagree with Christian convictions? If you're looking for an answer that makes both God and everyone else happy, I can save you a lot of wasted time…it doesn't exist (Romans 8:7).
So how do we avoid the ditch on the left -- where we don't call sin a sin -- as well as the ditch on the right -- where we are angry culture warriors battling unbelievers instead of evangelizing them? In my new book, "A Call to Resurgence: Will Christianity Have a Funeral or a Future?," I offer the following suggestions:
1. Come to terms with disagreement. For the Christian, changing God's laws in Scripture, by popular opinion, makes as much sense as changing God's laws in nature -- including gravity and the temperature at which substances freeze and boil. Non-Christians don't need to accept these laws but tolerate them, if indeed they believe in tolerance, diversity, and inclusion, as they boast.
Christians and non-Christians disagree on a lot of things including what to do with our money, sin, and genitals. We won't agree because we don't agree. Instead of trying to pretend that we do agree, we need to accept the fact that we agree to disagree and get on with evangelizing lost people, defending our religious freedoms, and loving our critics while leaning over the plate to take one for Team Jesus.
2. Turn the other cheek. Both homosexuals and Christians are, curiously enough, organized minority groups.
If Christians war with homosexuals, we're ignoring the majority -- all the people somewhere on the continuum between the two groups.
As a general rule, those people in the middle are the very people we've been called to evangelize. If they see us as being mean spirited, they will be less likely to want to hear about the love of Jesus from unloving people.
Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek, not because he likes it when we lose a fight, but because he likes it when we win people who are watching the fight (Matt. 5:39).
3. Welcome everyone to your church… The same Bible that talks about sin is equally clear about love. The church I serve as pastor includes people who are practicing homosexuals, as well as others who are struggling with same sex attraction to varying degrees.
They sit in service next to single people cohabiting, people who watch porn, adulterers -- and the self-righteous religious people who look down on all of them.
We all start in a bad place.
When the Bible says that Jesus died for sin, he's talking about evil people, like me. I was sleeping with a pastor's daughter when I became a Christian and realized that worshiping God included my pants.
We are all works in progress. We do not expect people to get their sin in order before attending church any more than a hospital expects people to get healed before they show up.
4. …but don't allow everyone to lead your church. Christians who practice repentance should be the only ones allowed into official church membership and leadership (1 Tim. 3:1–12).
This does not mean in any way that they are perfect, but that they agree with the Bible, and that when they are in sin, they are willing to fight to overcome sin by God's grace.
We're not asking for perfection but rather for a desire for progress in victory over sin.
5. Distinguish between temptation and sin. The Bible is clear that Jesus was tempted and did not sin (Hebrews 4:15). Just because someone is tempted does not mean that person is in sin.
Temptation is an opportunity for sin or for victory.
We must not shame or condemn people who experience various kinds of temptation -- including sexual temptations such as same sex attraction or heterosexual fornication or even pornography -- if they desire to make a life U-turn.
At the same time, we must not endorse or encourage caving in to sinful desires either. Instead, we need to walk lovingly with people, telling them that part of the Spirit's work in their lives is self-control, and that so long as they want to fight for holiness, we want to fight not against them but for them. And as they gain victory, we ought to celebrate and encourage them all the more.
6. The best defense is a good offense. The best thing the church can do for marriage is encourage and assist good marriages. This includes lots of teaching on sex and marriage, great premarital counseling, a supportive community for married couples, and efforts to nurture marriages that are enduring and endearing so that God's people are getting divorced only on rare occasion because of extreme circumstances.
7. Evangelize through suffering. Bible-believing Christians will need to toughen up -- rather than crumple in a heap -- when slapped with words like hateful, bigoted, intolerant, shameful, cruel, unloving, homophobic, prejudiced, discriminatory, and more.
Jesus told us to love our enemies; his assumption was that we would have enemies to love (Matt. 5:44).
If we say what Scripture says, we should expect to suffer as Scripture promises. In fact, Jesus promises that we'll see trouble, experience hardship, and be hated. Rather than run away or fight back, however, he invites us to endure and persevere as an "opportunity to bear witness" (Luke 21:12–19).
We have been chosen by God to live at this time and in this culture with all its faults and flaws, as part of the church of Jesus Christ with all her faults and flaws, as people with our own faults and flaws (Acts 17:26).
Because our society no longer values historically Christian beliefs, we have an unprecedented opportunity for a resurgence of biblically faithful, personally humble, evangelistically fruitful, missional Christianity.
The truth of God's Word is hard like an anvil meant to reshape us into something better. But we can deliver a hard word without having a hard heart toward the recipient.
An honest explanation of sin is essential for our message of ultimate help, healing, and hope: Jesus Christ is alive. He is King of kings and Lord of lords.
Jesus makes life, death, suffering, and persecution meaningful.
And the backlash is a blessing.
After all, you really don't know how committed you are to Jesus until you have to start paying a price for that friendship.

Labour's Richard Howitt MEP has organised a public hearing between the Colombian government and guerrillas in the world's longest-running conflict, which took place today at a historic meeting of the European Parliament foreign affairs committee.
Peace talks taking place in neutral territory in Cuba between Bogota and FARC rebels are at a very sensitive point, with a deadline to be completed by March. Mr Howitt personally went to advise the talks in Havana as part of a delegation of the British trade union campaign 'Justice for Colombia', of which he is Vice-President.
The public hearing is due to hear from both government and guerrilla negotiators, which will be the first time they have appeared together internationally - the peace talks have taken place behind closed doors. The EU Special Envoy to the peace talks, Eamon Gilmore TD, chaired the hearing.
Richard Howitt MEP, Labour's European Parliament spokesperson on foreign affairs, told the hearing:
"In the week after the European Parliament demonstrated unprecedented unanimity in its vote to support the Colombian peace process, this hearing proposed by my own Group but with similar cross-party support here in Brussels, is intended to demonstrate the same high level of support and encouragement directly to both sides and to the Colombian people, to demonstrate to them international support in favour of peace.
"This is the first time that negotiators have appeared together on a panel to address the European public, and we thank them for agreeing to do so.
"Last year I had the privilege of personally being present at the peace talks in Havana, as part of a delegation convened by the NGO 'Justice for Colombia' advising on lessons from the Northern Ireland peace process.
"I came away believing an end to the world's longest-lasting civil war can and will happen, and that Europe has a duty to do everything possible to support peace for the Colombian people, and to be present to support and safeguard the future final agreement which we hope will be made. Today is a follow-up to that visit. I hope it will broaden that belief both here in Europe and in Colombia itself."
Mr Howitt added:
"Today's historic hearing shows once again the vital role the EU plays in bringing peace - not just in Europe but throughout the world. Nearly a quarter of a million people have died in Colombia's 50-year conflict; today the government and the guerrillas are rightly saying enough is enough, and we are determined for Europe to play its own role to help secure an end to the world's longest-running civil war."

In this article we will attempt to comprehend the essentials behind gadgets reusing. Individuals get a kick out of the chance to purchase diverse sorts of electronic contraptions as their wellspring of stimulation. The rising interest of these contraptions has expanded the market of hardware and additionally the quantity of apparatuses quickly.
It has additionally got an awesome ecological effect. In this way, with a specific end goal to spare nature, the way toward reusing is done. At the point when the general population need to dispose of their old types of gear keeping in mind the end goal to purchase new machines, then hardware reusing comes into the photo.
Where Did It All Start?
Before, nobody had any thought of hardware reusing. In this way, they scarcely disposed of their old electronic items. Later on it was seen by designers that electronic items have a scope of costly components. Accordingly reusing started in its cutting edge frame. With re-utilize these items spare the earth from an unnatural weather change. At the point when the item's life cycle arrives at an end, it is disposed of as electronic waste which is likewise called e-squander. A million tons of e-waste is disposed of worldwide consistently.
Electronic things are generally made with components, for example, lead, cadmium, brominates, fire retardants and plastics. In this way, the general population are urged through various modes to reuse their electronic waste. Hardware reusing is an earth inviting project in light of the fact that the re-utilization of materials controls the contamination and reduces the need to unearthing for the metals utilized as a part of gadgets.
What All Is Recycled?
An assortment of electronic materials are reused like TVs, phones, sound and video players and PC types of gear, for example, screen, printers, scanners, consoles and mice. Furthermore, phones, fax machines, microwaves, little kitchen apparatuses, vacuums, hair styling machines, practice supplies, fans, electronic toys, advanced cameras and so forth can likewise be reused. In any case, the specific electronic gadgets, for example, TVs, PCs and other expansive apparatuses will be restricted soon from reusing on the grounds that they contain unsafe materials which can make harm the earth. There are a few other options to give things for hardware reusing, for example, repair shops, gadgets makers, nearby drop-off focuses and retailers.
In the reusing procedure, the gadget is isolated physically or mechanically into individual segments and a few pieces are spared which can be re-utilized. Whatever is left of the parts are separated. Gadgets reusing is an extremely muddled process as gadgets are made of a wide range of materials. This procedure is once in a while risky in light of the fact that a few gadgets regularly contain hazardous material, for example, mercury which should be maneuvered carefully.
One essential indicate note with respect to gadgets reusing is that not the greater part of the material gets reused. Say regardless of the possibility that 80 percent of the material is reused and re-utilized, then rest of the unusable material winds up in a landfill. This is surely an ecological danger yet at the same time it is superior to not reusing by any means.
To finish up one might say that hardware reusing is surely an essential strategy to spare nature and goes far to guarantee that our future eras are protected.

I realised something today: World of Tanks is a casino with nothing to win except a momentary sense of accomplishment.
I've loved tanks since I was a little boy making plastic models of WWII tanks. As I grew up that turned into a love of wargaming and all its associated modelling requirements. I would lovingly select, purchase, assemble, and paint all the tanks, soldiers, terrain, and other items required to field my own little army against fellow enthusiasts. If I'd never moved house there would still be a desk piled high with paints, brushes, glues, and tools but I did and so all those things had to be tidied away. A couple of moves later and with a pressing need for money it was time to sell all my wargaming collection on eBay. I thought I was done with it.
Years later my wargaming passion has turned into an online gaming passion. I've played World of Warcraft of course, who hasn't, but I've also played sundry other games but never found something that drew me like my teenage obsession with tanks until I chanced upon World of Tanks. World of Tanks (WoT for short) is purportedly an MMO focused around WWII tank battles and so it is at first appearance.
You play the game by entering short PVP team battles, fifteen tanks to each side on a small thousand meter square map. Now that's quite odd for tank warfare which is mostly conducted over significantly larger ranges and areas. This is explained by the designers as the game being focused on arcade action and fun. Sounds like a great idea.
However it's not quite that simple. Each shot has a very large random outcome as the designers have applied a strong random factor to every aspect. Assuming you have aimed correctly when you press the fire button your shell will disperse randomly within the aiming circle. It's meant to be on a bell curve but from personal observation it's just wild, you cannot aim and expect the same result from the same gun consistently. Assuming you actually hit the enemy tank there's then a random penetration roll that increases or decreases your shell's penetration by twenty five percent. After that the game works out what damage you do to the enemy tank again with a twenty five percent randomisation of your standard damage. Add this all up and each shot you fire has a wildly different outcome. Multiply that out by your fifteen team members versus the fifteen members of the enemy team and the outcome is entirely unpredictable. Except that it isn't. Somehow the random factor seems to favour you on some days and be against you on others. Almost is if the dice were loaded.
Now it's certainly possible to overcome all this randomness, the designers of the game have given you plenty of opportunity to spend buckets of money on microtransactions to enhance your game. Premium subscriptions to let you progress faster, premium tanks to let you grind out experience and cash for new tanks, premium ammo to let you penetrate better, premium crews to utilise your tank at one hundred percent of its ability instead of the standard fifty percent. The list goes on and on. By the time you've got into the game and run into the point where you have to start grinding the game to progress you'll either have given up in frustration or be very ready to start buying your way forward.
Once you're established in WoT you'll begin to perceive the underlying problem and eventually realise why it's bad for you. Other players have taken the readily available statistics from the game and done some simple analysis. The average player has a win rate (games won as compared to games lost) of forty eight percent. The worst players lie around thirty percent and the best no better than seventy percent. The shape of the bell curve for this distribution of win rates has very steep sides meaning that it is very difficult to change your win rate once you have a lot of games under your belt. What this means is that each game you play has roughly a one in three chance of being lost no matter what you do, conversely another one in three will be won without you lifting a finger. It's only the remaining one in three games where you will stand a chance of influencing the game. Provided that you are in a tank that can sufficiently influence the outcome and that the random rolls come your way. For the average player this is maybe one game in ten where they can have an effect on the outcome. What's worse is that thanks to the pretty much guaranteed one win in three even the most useless players, AFKers, and bots will always succeed in the long run, simply by virtue of playing a large enough number of games which means that there are always thoroughly useless players on each team and it only takes having one more useless player on your side to lose the game.
So the game is pretty much a gamble, you take your tank, place your bet (in the form of the ammo and repair costs you will spend), and spin the wheel. On a good day you guess the outcome, otherwise it's all down to the randomness in the system. But you never know which one it is. If you do well you'll feel god about your accomplishments, do badly, or get on a losing streak and you will be upset, blaming every other player under the sun, and having a thoroughly bad day.
This is where it gets nasty. Unless you pay money to overcome the randomness in the system you will have more bad days than good days and even the good days will have plenty of bad spots in them. Unlike most quest based MMOs where you can feel as if you've accomplished something each time you hand in a quest, WoT is only rewarding for the one game in ten where you actually personally accomplished something.
So now it's possible to see why quitting World of Tanks is the only sensible course. It may not cost much to play a little, a few quid here and there, but paying for World of Tanks is like pissing into the wind – you have no chance of success. Unlike a casino where the odds are regulated World of Tanks has no odds you always lose all your money and you only stand a tiny chance of gaining a small sense of accomplishment. I've always been against gambling, which may be a surprising attitude for a game player, but to me gambling is just handing your money over to a bunch of criminals whereas playing a game is pitting your skills against your fellow enthusiasts. World of Tanks flatlines any skill by replacing it with loaded dice and then screws you over for a shot at the little prize.
So if you see me installing the game or talking about it again just remind me gently of why World of Tanks is an unlicensed casino with loaded dice.
The 'Zombie Hunter' independent movie as covered by shocktillyoudrop.com.
For ten years I commuted through London on a motorbike. I went through seven bikes, had three crashes, and one busted rib.
This is a pretty good run, considering just how dangerous riding a bike in London is. You remember the original Star Wars movie where at the end they had to fly down a trench while being shot at by laser cannons and chased by tie fighters? That's an average day commuting in London.
Owning a car in London is a waste of time and energy, it's like swimming with lead weights, or applying a cheese grater to your wedding tackle, painful and pointless. Whereas owning a motorcycle in London is great, zooming past all the idiots in their metal boxes and arriving early wherever you go is exhilarating.
My morning run into town would start in South London; from there it's about seven or so miles to central London. Depending on where I was working that year there were a number of different routes I took. The first mile or two would be quieter and give me and the bike a chance to wake up and warm up before we hit the traffic. Once on the main arteries heading into London the traffic would be very heavy. Nose to tail cars along all the main routes into town. Bikes weren't allowed in the bus lanes back then so you had two choices: sit behind a car and wait or filter down the middle of the road.
Filtering through heavy traffic on a big bike is where the death star trench run comes in. Wing mirrors fly straight at you before veering aside at the last moment. Your eyes narrow, scanning the path ahead, searching for the next corner, the next opportunity, the next hazard. You're only rolling along at a piddling ten or twenty miles per hour. This is slow enough to manoeuvre but fast enough to break bones if you make the slightest mistake. At twenty miles an hour your hands are six inches from the cars on either side. The slightest slip will crush your little finger between the bars and a passing wing mirror.
I really feel sorry for the hapless autocommuters as I zoom past them. No wonder some of the more aggressive ones want to try and kill me. I'm free and they're trapped. And don't think that they didn't try, the number of times my progress has been blocked at the last moment by a taxicab or BMW driver deliberately swerving to close a gap is innumerable.
Primate survival instincts perverted by metropolitan life, surrounded on all sides, going nowhere, the average car driver is the slightest provocation away from all encompassing rage. No wonder then that they see the average biker as a suitable target to vent their frustration on. They're in an anonymous armoured box and the biker is naked and vulnerable in comparison. The biker is not one of them; the biker is _other_, a rule breaker to be punished. Crush him with the car, drive him beneath the wheels, and hear the lamentations of his women. These are the best things in life.
There are so many hazards to watch out for: grit and rubbish on the road that will make you slip, suicidal pedestrians trying to cross the road in between vans where they have no line of sight, cyclist veering left and right without warning. The most deadly of all are cars doing sudden U turns without warning or indication. A car will pull out of traffic and block your path in a second or so, leaving you a mere fraction of a second to see it coming, react, and hit the brakes before you run into them.
If you're lucky they'll see your lights at the last moment and stop before they've completely blocked your path. You can't veer around them because that will send you straight into the oncoming traffic and certain death, all you can do is brake as quickly as possible.
Filtering in heavy traffic is about as dangerous as it gets on a bike. You have to be supremely alert and aware of every potential danger. I did that for an hour or so every weekday, for ten years.
The journey in would leave me alert and ready for work, fresh air and adrenalin doing the job of a dozen cups of tea. The return to home in the evening was simply a reverse of the journey in. Starting with heavy traffic and then gradually easing off, by the time I got close to home I could blast the bike a little on the quiet roads. My head would be clear again and I would be free of work worries. Those clear Zen moments at the end of the working day would more than compensate for the danger and difficulty of riding a bike in London.
The first bike I used for commuting was a Honda CB650, which was a UJMC, short for Universal Japanese Motorcycle. A UJMC is a normal motorcycle, not readily distinguishable from any number of other similar bikes; it has no fairing, little styling, and is just a plain sit up and beg motorcycle. It drove very nicely though, was reliable, cheap, and got me around and about.
I can't understand what it is with some people, they spend their entire lives in boxes; born in a box shaped hospital, taught everything they know in a box shaped school, living their lives in a tiny boxy house, working every day in a big boxy office, and travelling to and from each of their big boxes in the little metal box with four wheels! They're never outside for more than the time it takes to transfer from one box to another, they never see the sky except through a window, never feel the air, and never smell the atmosphere.
I soon upgraded to a Suzuki GSXR750R (1985 version) which I bought from Bat Motorcycles in South Norwood. It was a Japanese import which meant it had a speedo in kilometres per hour and a special light that came on when you went over the Japanese national speed limit of 60mph. On my test ride before buying the bike and blasting up South Norwood Hill the light came on and I panicked, thinking the engine was about to blow up. That little light annoyed me throughout my ownership of the bike because it would blink on and off as you travelled on the motorway.
The specific kit you need for riding a bike through London is fairly simple; although it took me a number of years to get it right and the exact requirements are different for every biker. I wore the mandatory helmet, a leather jacket, ordinary jeans, leather gloves and motorcycling boots. When it got wet I had two pieces of waterproof clothing to add to the ensemble: a pair of thin waterproof over trousers, and a thin waterproof over jacket that only came out for serious deluges. As I needed to carry all this around I used a magnetic tank bag to put it all in. Later on I got a top box to store things in.
For a helmet I always chose Arai, they're expensive but worth every penny. I preferred boots that were short and tough and with a Gore-Tex lining. The specific choice of glove is always difficult. You want thin and light gloves so that you have the best feel through the bars and sensitive control of the levers. At the same time you also want warm and waterproof gloves with plenty of protection in case of a spill. In summer you want gloves that won't leave your hands dripping with sweat after a ride and in winter you want gloves that won't leave your fingers numb with cold. Gloves are a problem. Trying to find the right pair I went through more pairs of gloves in the early years than anything else. Eventually I settled on Hein Gericke 'turtle' gloves in winter and expensive racing gloves for summer. Alternatively, you could get those big handlebar muffs and look like a complete wanker.
A couple of years later I upgraded again to my first big bike, a Suzuki GSXR1100WR. A serious bike with a lot of horsepower. I bought a purple one and named it the Purple Monster. I rode this bike for years, getting it tuned, fixing the suspension, and supplementing it with a couple of others until I had my first crash.
My first crash happened because I was in the wrong place. I should have been at Santa Pod enjoying the drag racing but instead I was in central London doing some shopping because the friend who I had meant to be going to go to Santa Pod with had changed their mind at the last minute. I was going down a one way street following a completely lost tourist. They stopped in the middle of the road and I started to drive around the side. As soon as I got alongside the car the driver set off again, swinging into me and pushing the bike into a post, smashing the front end.
Crashing a bike is not fun. Before you know what's happening a car is in your way. You hit the brakes hard. Suddenly the world flips over and the road hits you like a wall. For a moment, sliding down the road, there's nothing but dread. What's coming is going to hurt like hell. The pain rushes in seconds later. The world is disjointed and shattered. Staggering upright to find out what's happened to the bike. Vision comes in snapshots, freeze frames of destruction. Your pride and joy is battered and broken, lying the wrong way up in the middle of the road. Somewhere a driver is watching, his car pristine. Other cars rush by heedless of danger.
As you start to piece together what happened the pain comes on in waves. Fractured ribs prevent you from breathing fully just when you most need the air. Scraped knees and elbows scream in protest as you lever two hundred plus kilos of bike to vertical. A distant sense of detachment comes in as if you are watching the world from the sidelines. People speak and you hear them seconds later. The air feels like water as you sink to the bottom of a deep pool.
You don't want an ambulance. You need to get the bike back home. So you climb back on the bike, arms and legs protesting, and set off again. Fear fills you before you move. You might fall over straightaway. There's a terrible pain in your stomach. There's no way you can ride the bike like this. A deep primal instinct to get home drives you on. Slowly and carefully you kick the bike into first gear and let out the clutch. The bike rolls forward and an eternal moment later you're riding again.
Later on, when the insurance details were being worked out the driver claimed that he never hit me at all. That's when I learned that if you ride a bike, no matter what, you need a witness to get a fair deal on insurance claims. Riding a bike means that, as far as insurance is involved, you are in the wrong regardless of circumstances. Then again insurance is such a scam, they're always keen to take your money and then they always come up with a dozen reasons why they can't pay out when something happens.
The Purple Monster was never the same again, I had to strip off the fairing, trash the lights, and replace them with crappy aftermarket parts. I eventually sold the bike to a Scouser who drove a hard bargain. From that I learned not to deal with people who want to bargain.
I had gone through a couple of other bikes at the same time. After I'd paid off the Purple Monster I picked up a cheap Yamaha XT600 which is an off-road style bike, very tall and with long suspension. I commuted on this a few times but stopped after realising that people didn't give way to it the way they did to the Purple Monster. The twin headlights and low stance of the GSXR were much more intimidating than the single light and spindly profile of the XT.
So I swapped my XT and a bit of cash for a Yamaha Drag Star in black and chrome. This was a custom cruiser type bike, long and low with comfy seats and wide bars. It got dirty real quick and took a lot of washing to get looking good. It was so low that the foot pegs would scrape the ground on almost every corner and I soon wore down the heels of my boots when riding it. It looked great and sounded cool thanks to some custom pipes and other chrome accessories. A bit wobbly at low speeds and the wide bars made it difficult for commuting too.
A year or so later, flush with a new well paying job, I bought my one and only brand new motorcycle, a silver KTM LC4. This was a serious bike, a supermotard capable of racing straight out of the box. This made it he best handling motorcycle I have ever owned and really improved my riding by allowing me to push the envelope, something that my other bikes just didn't allow for. It came with only one tiny problem, the vibration. The vibration was so strong that after twenty minutes in the saddle my crutch would go numb and the numbness would start to spread from there. Long rides were out of the question. But brilliant for commuting!
Because the KTM was useless for long journeys and the Purple Monster was no longer the fine bike I had originally owned I traded the Drag Star, and a couple of grand in cash, for a nearly new silver Kawasaki ZZR1100. I chose the ZZR because I'd read about one in a novel and it was exactly the sort of bike I liked: long, sleek, fast, and powerful. This was a most excellent bike, I named her Anastasia, after Dan Dare's spaceship, and she took my on long journeys and even worked well around town, although a touch cumbersome at low speed thanks to her size and weight. Like with the Purple Monster I spent some money on improving the suspension and replacing the exhaust when it rusted through. The ZZR lasted me for a number of years as my fortunes declined. Meanwhile I had to sell the KTM to buy a digital camera and the Purple Monster to get a laptop so I was back down to just one bike.
At night, London sleeps. This is not a brash young American city running twenty four crushing hours a day. London is an old city and she needs her rest. In the darkness, while she sleeps, there is a chance to really ride. Free of traffic the city breathes easily. With room to manoeuvre riding the bike changes from constant sharp motions to a single flowing move. In traffic you stop and start, left foot touching the road to balance the bike while stationary. At night, once you lift your foot from the road, it will not go down again until journey's end.
Cool summer nights riding home from a friend's place are magical times. After midnight the traffic in London has disappeared and the streets are free for your personal use. The engine thrums with contained power. Tyres whisper on tarmac, counterpointed by drumming over white lines. Traffic lights turn green by mystic processes, waving you on. Each roundabout is a chance at the perfect corner. Line up the approach, pull the outside bar to tip the bike in, find the right angle, and squeeze the throttle to launch you out of the corner towards the next. With effortless grace corner after corner leads you along an illuminated path. Zen calm settles and every moment is perfection. Nothing exists other than the rider, the bike, the road, the journey. This is the ultimate peace in motion.
My second crash was another situation where I was out of place. I was running an errand for the club, fetching a box of flyers from the printers, before heading to work. A guy pulled out in front of me and I braked heavily causing the front wheel to lock up, skid, and pitch me over. I landed on my side and fractured a rib. A busted rib means six weeks of sleepless nights and constant pain until it heals enough to be able to get some rest. This time I remembered to make sure I had a witness, fortunately a friend of mine happened to be sitting in their van and saw the whole thing so I got the bike repaired on the insurance.
Soon after getting the ZZR back from the repairers another incident occurred when I was visiting a friend. The ZZR was knocked over by a couple of idiots brawling in the street, smashing the tail end. I chased after one and got his details after he admitted knocking over the bike. Later on I managed to get him to pay for some of the dmaage he did but the ZZR was never pristine after that.
The only time I simply dropped the ZZR was the day after my grandmother died. I had gone to work as normal, preoccupied with thinking about the conversation I'd had with my mother the day before. When I arrived at work I got off the motorcycle as usual and lowered it onto the side stand as usual. The bike fell over on its side because I'd forgotten to put the side stand down.
I eventually sold the ZZR so that I could pay for my wedding. For a year and a half I was a pedestrian, taking the train and bus to work. What would have been a twenty minute bike ride turned into an hour long commute on stuffed trains and sweaty buses. How the average commuter coped with this day in and day out for years on end I have no idea. Finally I saved up enough to afford a cheap bike and bought a ten year old black Honda CBR1100XX, the infamous Blackbird. It was basically the same as the ZZR and the Purple Monster, a long sleek speed machine. The CBR handled better than the ZZR at low speed and knifed through the air at high speed. It had fairly good suspension but was well worn as the bike was ten years old. I just needed to save up enough to get the suspension sorted but circumstances have a way of turning out differently than you expected.
My last crash happened on the day we discovered that my wife was pregnant. A quick test in the morning confirmed that we were going to have a baby. I went off to work feeling great but my journey back home was interrupted. A French idiot in a left hand drive car pulled across me as I was driving down Park Lane. I hit the brakes and the front wheel skidded, flipping me and the bike onto the road where I landed on my side fracturing the same rib again and bringing back my old injury with a vengeance. My knee was badly scraped as well. Fortunately the police came and took statements and a witness had seen the whole thing. It took a year and a half but I eventually got paid for my broken bike, broken rib, and loss of a lifestyle.
I never rode again after that. As I tell my friends, it's not the age, it's the mileage. There's a saying amongst bikers that there are either old bikers or bold bikers. Ten years of bold riding in London traffic was enough for me and I'd like to be old enough to see my daughter grow up.
I hadn't realised that there's a new Death Race movie out! Check out Death Race Inferno.

The Galactic Standard Calendar was the standard measurement of time in the galaxy. It centered around the Coruscant Solar cycle, which was 368 days long (one day consisting of 24 standard hours)[1]. Numerous epochs were used to determine calendar eras. The most recent of these calendar eras used the Battle of Yavin as its epoch, or "year zero." BBY stands for Before the Battle of Yavin, and ABY stands for After the Battle of Yavin.[2]
The calendar, also referred to as the Coruscant Standard Calendar, was the main calendar in use in the galaxy since the time of the Galactic Republic. Presumably the Old Republic dated years from its founding in 25,053 BBY. Throughout time, however, historians have used numerous galaxy changing events as epoch to mark new calendar eras.
One particularly notable epoch is the Treaty of Coruscant of 3,653 BBY. The calendar eras before and after this event (referred to as "BTC" and "ATC," respectively) were popularized by the famous Jedi historian, Gnost-Dural. His holographic records, which used this numbering system, contained some of the most complete records of numerous important events such as the Hundred-Year Darkness, the Great Hyperspace War, the Great Sith War, the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, and the Great War against the returned Sith Empire. For this reason, this method of numbering years remains important to historians.[3]
Other notable epochs used were the Ruusan Reformation of 1,000 BBY,, the Great Resynchronization of 35 BBY, the formation of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY and the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY. With the exception of the Ruusan Reformation, the latter epochs were all within the same century and stemmed from the events and upheavals surrounding the rise and fall of the Galactic Empire. They were short lived and used by various historians at the time. In 25 ABY, the New Republic commissioned the New Republic Historical Council to re-standardize the Galactic Calendar. The historical council chose the Battle of Yavin, instead of the Battle of Endor, calling the former the more significant galactic event. From that point on, the year in which the Battle of Yavin occurred was the epoch used for the dating system.[2] It was used by the New Republic, and the subsequent Galactic Alliance. Many regions, however kept their own calendars, including the Imperial Remnant.
The calendar was based on the size and rotation of the planet Coruscant. It was a luno-solar calendar based both on Coruscant's orbit around its sun, and the orbit of its primary satellite Centax 1. The standard unit of time was the standard second. Sixty standard seconds made up each standard minute, and sixty minutes made up each standard hour. Each day consisted of 24 standard hours. A standard week was 5 standard days, and each month was seven weeks. (Making 35 standard days each month.) A standard year was 368 days, composed of ten months, three fete weeks, and three holidays. As the Hyperdrive Theory allowed space travellers to bypass relativity, a single duration of time passed at all locations equally over a given interval.
In the galaxy:
BBY/ABY is sometimes known as BSW4/ASW4, which means "before/after Star Wars Episode IV". The BSW4/ASW4 notation was used in the timeline of the second edition of A Guide to the Star Wars Universe and the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels. The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons eschewed any acronyms altogether and listed dates as YEARS, with 0 YEARS being the events depicted in Star Wars Episode IV. The first Essential Guide to use the BBY/ABY notation was The Essential Chronology. This practice was continued in The Essential Guide to Alien Species and beyond. Despite its fall into disuse within official materials and the use of the BBY/ABY notation by most of their peers, the early method of notation has caught on a small following among Star Wars fans.
When the Thrawn trilogy was released, most of the work in the Expanded Universe (promotional material originally dated events in terms of the Battle of Endor) made sense from an in-universe perspective of having "overthrown the Emperor" rather than victory at the Battle of Yavin. This trailed off some time after the release of The Truce at Bakura.
The video game Star Wars: The Old Republic uses the Treaty of Coruscant as its dating system. Since the date of the treaty is stated to be 3,653 BBY it makes some of the dates listed on Timeline 1: Treaty of Coruscant up to 53 years off when converted to the Yavin dating system.
Time based on Coruscant is clearly a mirroring of real Earth time being modeled on the third planet from the sun.
Thursday,[4] Saturday and Sunday have all also been mentioned as days in the EU.
It is known that the beginning of the in-universe calender does not correspond with BBY/ABY as in Fury. It is stated that a new year has begun yet the book still takes place in 40 ABY just as the other books in Legacy of the Force do.

Tuna has become a common food for humans, whether as a quick, filling snack out of a can or part of a larger meal. As much as cats love fish, they may show an affinity for tuna that outmatches even the hungriest human.
With so many tuna flavored cat foods and treats out there, it's reasonable to think that giving your cat some tuna would provide a healthy, beneficial meal, but is it really something cats should consume?
Tuna first gained popularity during the First World War, when soldiers overseas required a convenient, portable food that could sustain them during the war. Canned tuna became the food of choice, and by 1954, the United States was the largest tuna market in the world.
Tuna are typically caught in warm water and shipped frozen to factories, where they undergo processing and canning techniques before being sent off to the marketplace.
What Does Tuna Contain?
Most brands of tuna typically add salt, canola oil and vegetable broth to increase the depth of flavor, but all tuna contains the same nutrients. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least twice a week, and tuna can help your fish intake and provide several benefits for your body.
Tuna is packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins, all of which promote good health and well-being for humans. For cats, it may not be the same.
Things To Consider About Tuna…And Cats
As well all know, cats can be very picky eaters, but they are often drawn to tuna because of their love of fish.
Cat diets can be quite simple, as they don't require a huge variety of different foods to maintain good health. Just lots of protein-rich, meat-based product. Consuming tuna on a regular basis can help humans, but it provides little nutritional benefit for cats. The additional salt, oil and broth are not things that your cat needs and could also lead to health issues such as steatitis, an inflammation of your cat's body fat.
Though not harmful to humans, canned tuna also contains mercury that, if built up over time, can eventually lead to mercury poisoning due to your cat's smaller body size and inability for their body to cope.
Some symptoms of mercury poisoning include:
- Unable to stand or walk
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lack of appretite
- Poor color
- Abdominal pain
Verdict – Can Cats Eat Tuna?
Cats can eat a small amount of tuna as a treat, but follow recommended guidelines. Feeding tuna to your cat regularly may cause health problems later on.
Keep in mind, tuna-based cat foods and treats are designed for feline consumption. Canned tuna contains fatty oils and nutrients for humans, but tuna-based cat food is created to provide a healthy amount of protein while keeping mercury intake at a safe level. It's important to vary your cat's food to achieve the optimum nutritional value and overall meal enjoyment, but tuna-based cat food isn't harmful.
Just like most food meant for humans, it's best to be cautious before feeding your cat too much tuna.

Learning Space Design
Learning is not rocket science. It's a lot more complicated than that.
Today, we are in the midst of an environmental revolution that has nothing to do with global warming, sustainability or material resources. It's more upbeat than that and involves adopting a pro-active fired-up approach where really, anything goes as long as it works. From classrooms to lecture halls and offices, the world is being lead by visionaries and it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches up.
Learning Spaces
To understand learning spaces, we have to understand people and how they learn – and why it is important. To understand learning we need to understand people. David Kolb divides learning into two axes, processing and perception and four types of learner –
Design Thinking can be used for Learning Space design using the principles of design thinking to drive the learning of simple, systematic processes before space planning ever enters into the equation. We do this using a simple process of inquiry based on observation, defining concepts and supporting values.
To foster LEARNING we need a few simple ingredients:
- INSIGHTS born out of:
- OBSERVATION feeding
- IDEAS developing
For more complicated projects, design thinking can be learned so teams can take control of their own design processes. From user-centered design – to re-thinking space innovation & project management, any organisation can learn to manage the process providing successful learning spaces.
An Integrated Approach
To do so and implement solutions, I work using the principles of user-centered design, separating perceptions of SPACE to perceptions of PROCESS. By making intangibles real using visual communication, it is possible to develop an integrated approach using the tools of design thinking to develop solutions. This can only be achieved by involving people, understanding needs and applying a formalised approach that just makes good sense to all those involved.
By empowering users to use the power of design through the methods of design thinking – we can keep our goals on-line, moving a project towards developing truly meaningful spaces people thrive and want to be a part of – developing learning by engagement. If you have a learning space project and want to know more, feel free to contact me using the contact form.

Exam rooms are good places to write bad poems.
They are quiet,
endlessly regular.
Like staring into a crystal or a forest.
It'll be as if we'd never existed.
Exam rooms are good places to write bad poems.
They are quiet,
endlessly regular.
Like staring into a crystal or a forest.
After the dog scratched (screeching) his (historians) ears all night (nightmarish), I should be up to the line of my words.
But the computer wants to write outstretched whenever I write out.
I guess I could turn this off, but it wants me to write counterrevolution, thirty-fourth, officially, buttermilk.
To mourn with restraint
in the days of hunger
when there is nothing to say:
I learn to mark those days respectfully
and spend them stripping lino from the stairs.
The unlikeable female character
must be unremorseful. Callous
(but lachrymose).
Dark-browed. Stops plucking
after she kills him.
There was a field of high reeds,
a time
when all distances and objects were poetic
a small town
smashed bottles
undescribed crushes.
Define the apocalypse.
If flood, these plains would be the first to go.
If fire, the barn would burn.
They tell you to be ruthless with your characters,
but they don't mention being ruthless with your home.
Selfish. She has sealed the place she spoke of. The spool at the centre of the last breathing sheaf.
It would be better to break something bigger and mend it with gold.
January is excavation season. There is no fruit on the trees, so we end up digging. I'm creating an album of words and pictures to see what can be found.
Counting the sounds of the train
in the beat of her blood, she is leaving,
leaving again. His fat fists beating back
and the crash of the falling still.
Flat blank fields by the tracks,
with no words, just like her, on the steps
when they called, when they heard, when they stared
at the red pockmarked bricks of the barn.
Skin which had once been so smooth,
a landscape of ridges and cracks.
Mouthing the sounds of a bird:
no it's fine, I'm all right, we're all right.
Crossing the dark widowed plains,
she won't stop till she reaches a mountain,
granite, she tries to dream, but she sees him,
she sees him again, with his red puffy face in the half-dark,
brewing his broth, fermenting the slop,
malting the grain and stilling the clear cold burn of brandy.
He climbed on the beams, fixing the tiles on the roof,
poked out the nests of the swallows,
smashing their eggs, he never fell down, quick as a cat.
Leaning her head on the glass,
in the white of the sky she unwinds them:
silences coiled up and folded away.
Her lips never move, the scars on her throat keep her quiet,
but she murmurs it deep in her chest,
the speech which will come from the distance,
the croak of the swallows, somewhere still alive.
Wrong is a difficult word –
not for him, he would savour its taste.
He could brand her with each slow sentence,
stuff her full of rotten fruit and leave her to ferment,
he told her, brandy would blind her, let her be left there, left in the still.
Counting the sounds of the train,
she prepares, she prepares to pronounce it,
painfully shaking her head:
he was wrong, he was wrong, he was wrong.
"Still" was highly commended in the Neil Gunn Writing Competition.
I find that having a "prompt" helps me to channel my ideas; in fact, I often feel that it draws me down a path which I never would have found otherwise. The Neil Gunn Writing Competition asks writers to respond to quotations from the work of the Scottish writer Neil Gunn. The one I chose was "wrong is a difficult word"; throughout the poem, I played with the rhythm of this sentence, which reminded me of a well-known phrase from the Aeneid in dactylic hexameter, "quadrupedante putrem sonitu quatit ungula campum" ("then struck the hoofs of the steeds on the ground with a four-footed trampling"). In the poem, the rhythm of the horses is replaced by the rhythm of the train.
At the award ceremony, it was unexpectedly inspiring to hear about the children's section of the competition. One of the primary school stories included one of the best lines I've read all year: "Medusa went into a forest to let her hair slither on the trees."
The judges' comments can be read here. The lead judge for the adult sections was Michel Faber, who I thought would make a great character in a novel himself. He described immersing himself in music, but not in literature: he is used to reading just individual chapters or scenes from novels, rather than whole books. It was very surprising to me that the writer of the supremely immersive The Crimson Petal and the White would take an approach to reading which seemed to me to be distant and almost obtuse in a certain way, deliberately avoiding the pull of the text. But it was clear from his comments on the competition entries and from his descriptions of literary discussions with his late wife that his mode of reading wasn't emotionless. Maybe it's actually a way of reading texts against the grain, in order to get at the detail of what works.
I did not see the man who stole my shoes.
It was the day of All Souls, and I was crouching by my sister's grave, trying to rid it of moss. In the giant graveyard of Olšany, half of Prague's dead are buried. The other half are somewhere in the suburbs, or wandering unburied, screeching into the chimneys of the breweries or prowling on the gilded theatre roof. (A few celebrities are on the hill where the fortress looms, of course, and the Jews are enclosed in their separate stones.)
It was a dim, foggy day, dark even at two in the afternoon, and the ground was as sodden and spongy as a lung. As I imagine a lung. I had remembered to bring a pair of old boots for gardening, and when I reached the grave, I stepped out of my smart shoes and left them at the edge of the paved path, a few feet from the headstone.
