At school, Richard hears of an available job as a chore boy for a white woman. When she interview him for the job, the woman asks Richard if he steals, which he replies unwittingly with what the woman considers a "sassy" answer. The next morning after his work, the woman leaves Richard breakfast on the table: stale bread and moldy molasses. When he tells the woman he wants to be a writer, she asks: "Who on earth put such ideas into your nigger head?" Richard does not return to the job but instead takes a job with another white family, running errands and serving food.
Tired after work, Richard is unable to keep up his studies. But at midday recess, he is able to buy his own lunch and show off his new clothes. His mother begins to recover and is well enough to attend a Methodist Church, tot he disapproval of Granny. Richard accompanies his mother to church not to gain religion, but to socialize with his classmates. When the church holds a revival, Richard feels pressure to be accepted by the community by "finding God." On the last day of the revival, the congregation sings hymn and the deacon begs mothers to go to their sons and beg for their conversion. Finding religion became a matter of public pride for Richard and his mother, and he consents to baptism.
When summer comes near, Ella suffers another stroke of paralysis. Needing money, Granny and Aunt Addie decide to rent the upstairs to Uncle Tom's family. One day, Uncle Tom asks Richard for the time. When Richard's tone of voice displeases his uncle, Tom threatens to give Richard the whipping of his life. Defiant and horrified, Richard takes two razor blades and threatens to cut his uncle. After an emotional confrontation, Uncle Tom walks away from Richard.
Chapter 6 Analysis:
An integral part of Richard's maturation is learning how to interact with others, including white people. Before his job, Richard has never really been informed about the relationship between whites and blacks. In his childhood, the value placed on one's race was learned second-hand, from his relatives, peers, and elders. When he takes his first job in the home of the white woman, Richard experiences first-hand the prejudices he has only heard or dreamed about. He is treated without respect and without human decency; Richard realizes that because he is black, he is not expected to set goals for himself, to achieve, or to succeed. It may seem that the white woman simply echoes what Richard's relatives have some to believe, but her words are ten times worse because it is an opinion based on speculation and assumption.
Perhaps worst of all, Richard realizes that to survive in the white world, he must be broken of his will. Before his job, Richard had been shielded within the black community. After being scolded and deprecated by the white woman, he learns that whites expect him to be subservient and stupid. Anything else would be considered "sassy." Richard refuses to return to his first job - where the woman served him stale and moldy food - out of pride. But he must learn that he cannot run away from prejudice. The racism he encountered at his first job is prevalent everywhere in the South and Richard must learn to react.
His desire to not conform is tested within the black community as well, with his mother's pressures to be baptized. Wright recalls that his baptism was not a matter of religious belief, but of social pressure and acceptance. The church, he claimed, exploited every relationship: mother-to-son, brother-to-brother, and friend-to-friend. In the end, Richard consents to baptism. But along with the other baptized boys, Richard feels no different than before. It is ironic that his baptism - what is considered a "rebirth" in the eyes of God - leads to Richard's eventual rejection of religion.
Chapter 7 Summary:
The year is 1924 and Richard obtains a job in a brickyard bringing pails of water to the thirsty black laborers. One day, Richard is bit in the thigh by the white boss's dog. Afraid of infection, Richard reports the bite to the supervisor but receives no medical attentions. "A dog bite can't hurt a nigger," replies a white man. Luckily, the swelling passes and he escapes infection.
School opens and Richard's hunger grows. Out of idleness, he composes a short story called "The Voodoo of Hell's Half-Acre." Although he receives no pay, the story is published in a local black newspaper. When his fellow students read the story, they don't understand Richard's motivation for writing and Richard grows more isolated. His relatives are highly critical, believing the story to be the Devil's work. But Richard's dream of writing continues to grow, despite the educational system in the South and the stifling Jim Crow laws.
Chapter 7 Analysis:
Little by little with his increasing interaction with white people, Richard learns more about their dismissive attitude towards black people. He is treated inhumanely when he is not given medical attention for the dog bite. Whites carry the attitude that black laborers are unsusceptible to anything.
When "The Voodoo of Hell's Half-Acre" is published, nobody can comprehend Richard's accomplishment. He receives only negative feedback. It is ironic that one of Richard's most meaningful achievements serves only to isolate him more from his environment. Instead of praise, Richard is seen as different. Wright reflects upon the fact that racism and prejudice are products not only of the attitude of whites in the South, but are products of the educational system. Black children are taught in ignorance, given no goals or motivation grow as intellectuals. To Wright, the educational system he grew up in with was corrupted, geared to teach subservience.
Chapter 8 Summary:
It is summer again and Richard inquires of Mrs. Bibbs - his employer - whether her husband has a job opening at the sawmill. The next day, Richard is warned by a black saw mill worker about the dangers of the business, revealing his own hand with three fingers missing. Richard leaves and does not return.
One afternoon, Richard sees Ned Greenley, his classmate, sitting on his porch. He learns that Ned's brother, Bob, has been murdered by some white men. Bob had been a hotel porter and the men had not approved of his activities with a white prostitute. Richard becomes more conscious about the brutality and conduct of the racially oppressed South.
One day after Richard has been talking to his cousin Maggie, he overhears Uncle Tom scolding Maggie for conversing with him. He warns Maggie that Richard is a "dangerous fool" and expects her "to keep away." Richard grows more aware of the isolation between himself and his own family. When Richard's brother, Leon, returns home, he is aware that the family seems to love and approve of Leon more than they do of him.
At the end of the school term, Richard is selected as valedictorian of his class and is asked to present a speech at graduation. When the principal summons him into his office and hands him an already prepared speech, Richard is stunned. He refuses to give the principal's speech, despite pressure from his family and peers. Even Griggs, another boy in school, has decided to recite on of the principal's speeches. But on the day of graduation, Richard does not care. He delivers his speech, dressed in a new suit, and immediately leaves the platform afterwards.
Chapter 8 Analysis:
The murder of Bob Greenley is elevated to myth-like status in the mind of Richard Wright. Because he has never witnessed the racial brutality and misconduct of Southern whites, his fears are elevated the way a small child is afraid of the Boogie Man. But for Richard, the situation is real: he must learn to behave "correctly" for his the sake of his own life. Richard, however, is still strong-willed, evidenced by his refusal to recite the principal's speech.
In this chapter, we also see that Richard's isolation from his family becomes more apparent to him when he accidentally overhears Uncle Tom scolding Maggie. Although his relatives are a constant source of negative feedback, his isolation from his own family can be seen as a source of Richard's strength. At his young age, he has learned out of necessity to be independent and willing to fight.
Chapter 9 Summary:
Anxious to earn money, Richard works as a porter in a clothing store catered toward "Negroes on credit." One morning, he witnesses the boss and his son drag a black woman into the back of the store to rape her. In another incident, Richard is beaten with a whiskey bottle and fists by some white boys whom he forgets to address as "sir." Each day, hatred builds in Richard for the white people. The boss's son even fires Richard for not laughing and talking "like the other niggers."
On day, Richard runs into his old classmate, Griggs, who criticizes him for not learning to get around "white folks." Griggs warns him to think before he speaks, to think before he acts. Griggs reveals that underneath his innocent demeanor, he too hates white people. He also obtains Richard a position as an intern in an optical shop.
The boss of the optical shop, Mr. Crane, is a Yankee and hires Richard immediately. Reynolds and Pease are two white men who work in the shop and cause nothing but trouble for Richard, who truly wishes to learn the trade. Both make degrading racial comments in front of Richard and threaten to kill him for failing to call Pease by "Mister Pease" (even when Richard had not forgotten). Richard leaves the job out of fear. Richard cries on his walk home from work.
Chapter 9 Analysis:
Richard experiences racial violence firsthand when he begins to work in town. Inexperienced in his new environment, Richard finds it difficult to act "properly" the way Griggs acts. Growing up with broken schooling and in the black community, Richard has learned to be self-sufficient and defiant. Even when he tries to conform, he is not subservient enough. Racism is bred by ignorance, and Wright portrays that to survey, a black man must act as ignorant as his white counterpart. A black man must laugh and talk, and act grateful towards a white man; it is not enough to simply be subordinate. Richard must learn to mask his hatred and true feelings to be able to survive.
In the optical shop, we see that Richard's hunger - his yearning of intellect and knowledge - still runs strong. This is why he has the audacity to approach Pease and Reynolds regarding his job. Wright compares Richard to a blind man. The metaphor not only describes the flood of tears that blinds Richard, but how Richard himself is still blind to the Southern oppression. Richard, in spite of his environment, still wishes to learn and set goals for himself.
Chapter 10 Summary:
Richard's next job is that of a helper in a drugstore. But without knowing the right words to say to his white boss, he loses his job soon enough. He grows more conscious of the roles that other Black Boys assume in their jobs. Soon, Richard takes a job as a hall boy at the same hotel where Bob Greenley had worked. At his job, Richard socializes with the other black workers. One night, when walking one of the maids home, the white watchman slaps her on the behind. To avoid confrontation, Richard must obey the watchman and ignore the slap.
Determined to make more money, Richard decides to sacrifice his morals to save more money. He begins to bootleg liquor to sell to white prostitutes in the hotel. Soon, Richard quits his job at the hotel to take a job at the theater in town, where he is involved in a ring for scamming tickets. Richard is a ticket collector, and he saves the tickets to re-sell them at the front counter. Quickly, he amasses enough move money to move out on his own. He does so, promising to send for his mother when he earns enough money.
Chapter 10 Analysis:
Chapter 10 represents a pivotal moment in Richard's life because he realizes that in order to survive the South, he must obey rather than challenge those who suppress him. It is then that he realizes in order to accomplish his goals, he must leave for the North.
Richard comes to realize the social cycle in the relationship between whites and blacks. The black workers that Richard observes fall into stealing and cheating because they feel justified by the poor treatment they receive from their white bosses. In turn, the white bosses feel justified in their racist attitude by black workers who cheat and steal.

Novelist and poet Helen Dunmore introduces Sean O'Brien's classic poetry collection The Drowned Book.
All of the books in the Picador Classic series open with an introduction by a writer or public figure – a personal recommendation from a reader who knows the book intimately. Here is the opening of novelist and poet Helen Dunmore's introduction to Sean O'Brien's poetry collection The Drowned Book.
by Helen Dunmore
'And deeper than did ever plummet sound / I'll drown my book', declares Prospero towards the end of The Tempest. He says these words within the frame of a play which will make his magic immortal, and to an audience which knew that witchcraft was incapable of drowning. The drowned book cannot be destroyed, but will continue to speak.
Sean O'Brien has not taken his title from The Tempest lightly. This collection is full of transformations and revelations, losses, griefs, recoveries and the startle of unexpected joys. In this the spirit of The Drowned Book is profoundly Shakespearean. The poems take us to an underwater country, fitfully illuminated, mysterious, oozing out its secrets, with its own river roads and 'infernal gloom'. It may be England as imagined by Caliban. Or it may be the England that lies beneath the pond-skater antics of politicians who think we'll agree that it's best not to look at anything too closely. It is a land of comedy, fear and raucous unlikelihood. On Humberside
'the jellyfish
Hang in the murk at the jetty
Like plastic rain-hoods –
A race of drowned aunties
Come back to chastise us
For something we don't know we've done yet.'
(By Ferry)
The inhabitants of this England are withdrawn into themselves. Railway guards, doctors' assistants, travelling salesmen, artists, convicts, quarrymen, tramps and children, they live in a past that floats just beneath the surface yet can hardly be touched. They remember the war. They are much subject to surveillance, for who can tell what crimes may be committed when everyone is guilty by virtue of their existence:
'Now join me, honest citizens,
Let's drink to unknown crime –
We'll all be on the inside soon,
One nation doing time.'
(Song: Habeas Corpus)
The waters of this country hold, as if in a distillation, images, ideas and objects which have long been central to O'Brien's poetic imagination. Like Graham Greene, O'Brien has created his own land to which he returns, book after book. It is utterly recognizable. It is Northern, cut by canals and laced by railways, full of wide distances, bombsites, dereliction, hard energies and wit. This place has its own smells, and its own passport. Here are ghosts and glasshouses, 'dark, peopled water', ferries, railways, rain. Here is loss, betrayal of the individual and of a class, the slow failure of the postwar attempt to build another country which might be, in every sense of the word, more fair. It is a sombre and hypnotically beautiful vision.
'What use are your gifts now,
Your cage-bird and kind word,
Your old-world fidelity,
Infinite patience?'
(Five Railway Poems for Birtley Aris)
The new world order, it seems, has little use for such qualities, and down they go into the drowning darkness:
'In their long home the miners are labouring still –
Gargling dust, going down in good order,
Their black-braided banners aloft,
Into flooding and firedamp . . .'
There is no sentimentality here: crippling lung disease is as real as the solidarity of the banners. The bleakness of this vision is tempered throughout the collection by a very different aspect of Sean O'Brien's poetic character: his ability to conjure up the surreal, the disruptive, the sudden shot of beauty across the bows of the ship of state. In 'Eating the Salmon of Knowledge from Tins', young children play in a dirty urban stream, in the Hull of the nineteen-fifties. O'Brien conjures up the era exactly, with its polio outbreaks, newspaper murders that never curbed the freedom of children to wander and its acceptance of the facts 'in black and white' on the TV news. But there is something larger than memory here. The children's fear is elemental and these lines strike a shock of recognition.
'– But what was it made us a little afraid
In those huge summer dusks
Where the sun and the moon
Stood on opposite sides of the heavens
And clocks stopped at curfew?'
Here, as in many places, O'Brien conducts the imagination of the reader in full understanding of how orchestra-like that imagination may be, in its sensitivity to every beat and shade of tone. He is a poet who understands very well that writer and reader are accomplices in creation.
This is the opening of Helen Dunmore's introduction to the Picador Classic edition of The Drowned Book by Sean O'Brien.

When IT is competitive leverage
The choice to target a hyperconvergent infrastructure comes from the need to create a standard IT infrastructure that can handle scalability in terms of hardware and flexibility in upgrading and adaptation; a cost-cutting evolutionary process that can quickly adapt to new and everyday business needs.
It is believed that consolidating the data center is something technical, tied to the needs of the IT, self-sufficient.
That is not the case. Starting a Data Center consolidation path improves the business because
free new resources, staff, and time that can be dedicated to expanding your Core Business.
The Innovation Award SMAU 2017, awarded to Phoenix International, S.p.A., represents both the recognition of the efforts made in these five years in the IT and IOT field, and the stimulus to continue the pace of innovation in step with the times.
Extrusion dies company with years of experience and with extraordinary people
Phoenix International was formed in Italy in 1972 in Paderno Franciacorta close to Brescia, thanks to the farsighted vision of a group of young entrepreneurs who wanted to share their expertise and experience in the aluminum extrusion sector. Their mission was to create an independent and innovative company, focused on a core business marked with significant growth potential.
Phoenix later moved to the new premises in Verdello (Bergamo), where it maintained its organization up to the late nineties.
The years between 2000 and 2008 saw the acquisition of competing firms and workshops within large extrusion groups specialized in die production, as well as the finalization of green-field transactions. In February 2016, the company's original founders and shareholders and the private equity fund sold their stakes to another prestigious fund, rooted in the continent's major economies, through a transaction carefully planned over time and aimed at anticipating future international scenario.

Dies used for extrusion of profiles such as body shapes parts, structural parts of high speed train's cars, etc.
Dies used for extrusion of profiles with the final destination inside the residential and commercial building. In these last years, the alu-profiles gain a lot of share inside the façades especially in high tech skyscrapers in many worldwide regions.
Dies used for the extrusion of profiles used in this industry to build the structure of the car (bumpers, shock absorbers, anti-intrusion bars, engine supports) in addition to luxury accessories (window frames, internal design).
Dies used for extrusion of profiles in tough alloy (typical 7xxx) such as body shapes parts, structural parts inside wings, etc.
In this macro-area we do consider general mechanical application, electronics, pneumatic, heat exchangers.
From the beginning of the Nineties, Phoenix has been an ISO 9001 certified company. It has always been interested in assuring total quality to its customers, with regard to the product, its conformity with the design agreed with the customer, the optimal extrusion of the profile, as well as the required tolerances.
However, quality is also the ability to find alternative solutions more suited to the customer's needs, the guarantee of competitive lead times and compliance with agreed delivery dates. For Phoenix, all of this is true quality.
In July 2019, Phoenix also achieved the two ISO14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001 certifications, which had set itself as a goal.

Horse Chestnut Seed Extract Review
Horse chestnut seed extract is derived from horse chestnut, or aesculus hippocastanum, which is a kind of tree originating in the northern hemisphere. Since way back when, all parts of this type of tree have been medicinally used including the flowers of the tree, the leaves and bark, and the horse chestnut seeds as well. Aescin is a compound from the horse chestnut which is said to provide the effects of an anti inflammatory. This would include inflammation as well as swelling of the blood vessels. In fact, horse chestnut seed extract is known to also strengthen blood vessel which makes this extract a positive varicose vein treatment.
Published reviews on the benefits of horse chestnut seed extract indicate this supplement is a promising way of treating painful varicose veins as well as hemorrhoids. Also, treatment with this supplement is painless and without a lengthy surgical recovery time. Although not clinically claimed, horse chestnut supplementation has also been known to be used for several other conditions like menstrual cramps, diarrhea, pancreatitis, kidney and liver disease, stomach ulcers, etc. While research has been mainly focused on horse chestnut seed and leg vein problems, continued studies are anticipated of other health issues as well. The key conditions claimed to benefit most from horse chestnut are diarrhea, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and circulatory disorders.
Horse chestnut seed extract is available in a topical form as a horse chestnut cream, gel, or balm. This is beneficial for application on sprains, contusions, or bruises. The extract also comes in an oral supplement as a capsule or tablet form which is often time released. Like many other herbal supplements, horse chestnut seed is also available in a tincture. The popularity of horse chestnut has caused health food stores as well as some grocers to stock it on their shelves. This supplement is said to be safe and effective. Stomach upset is minimal with timed released capsules or pills. It has been warned that this supplement should not be combined with Coumadin.

Hi beauties,
I hope you're all having a magical day. Today I thought I'd share with you what's in my everyday makeup bag. This is what I keep in my handbag to touch up my makeup throughout the day and to transform my everyday makeup after work for those nights out with friends.
- Makeup Bag: It's important to have a makeup bag that is small enough to fit in your bag but also one that isn't going to get too dirty or mind being thrown around every day. I really like this Zoella case as it holds the perfect amount of makeup, fits in my bag easily and it's just fun to look at. It's currently on sale on FeelUnique for $3.68 so get in quick!
- Face Powder: Having a powder you can rely on is such a godsend when you're in a rush and nice to give your face a quick touch up. I like to blot my face with blotting paper on the way to meetings and then do a quick touch up with powder. You'll look like you just did you makeup in a matter of seconds.
- Eyebrow Pencil: This is handy when you need to fill in any gaps or to just set your brows in place.
- Liquid Liner: Nothing transforms eyeshadow that has been on all day like a black eyeliner. I always apply liquid liner when I'm heading out after work - after one quick step it looks like you have spent hours (well, maybe not hours) on your makeup.
- Mascara: I love the look of full and lush lashes so will regularly reapply mascara throughout the day. Maybe skip this step if you already have waterproof mascara on - that will already be a b**** to come off.
- Concealer: I can't go anywhere without concealer. It's perfect to cover any unwanted spots or redness that may peak through during the day. It's also great to apply under the eyes for an instant wake up.
- Lipsticks: I always keep a range of lipsticks in my makeup bag. That way, I can transform any look very quickly while rushing out the door. I always make sure to have at least a neutral and a red lipstick handy at all times. I love applying red lipstick before a big meeting to give me some added confidence.
I'd love to hear what you keep in your makeup bag. What can't you live without?

Turkish cuisine is famous for its meatballs, better known as 'köfte' (kuf-TAY'). In Turkey, meatballs are grilled, fried, baked or even boiled. But no Turkish meatball tops the one named after an important female body part.
'Kadın budu kofte' (kah-DUN' boo-DOO' kuf-TAY'), or lady's thigh meatballs, are as amusing as they are delicious.
And it's not only their name that makes them unique. It's also the way they're prepared and cooked.
First, cooked rice is kneaded into the meat to bind it, rather than stale bread or bread crumbs. This makes the meatballs extra tender.
The addition of allspice and other seasonings gives these meatballs a unique fragrance and mild flavor. The way they're cooked is also different.
First, the raw meatballs are shaped by hand. Then, they're coated with flour followed by beaten egg and fried in hot oil.
The result is a tender, juicy meatball cooked in its own juices that is encased in a soft, golden crust. Kids like to giggle about the name and love them because of their unique look and mild flavor.
Lady's thigh meatballs go especially well with french fries and Turkish navy bean salad called "piyaz" (PEE'-ahz). Try them for your family and put some Turkish flavor in your weekday menu.
- 1/2 pound ground beef (85-90% fat)
- 1/2 cup white rice (cooked plain rice or leftover rice pilaf)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons allspice (ground)
- 1/2 cup dill (chopped fresh, or 2 teaspoons dried mint leaves)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Steps to Make It
First, knead together the ground beef, cooked rice, spices, and egg for several minutes until uniform. Set the meat aside for a few minutes to rest. Then, break off large pieces to make plump, flat oblong meatballs that fit in the palm of your hand.
Spread the flour on a plate. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a fork and add a few dashes of salt.
Pour oil in a deep skillet about one inch deep. While the oil is heating, roll each raw meatball in the flour. Make sure it is coated evenly.
Shake off the excess flour. Turn the floured meatball in the beaten egg to coat it thoroughly, then immediately place it in the hot oil.
Repeat this with several meatballs until the frying pan is full.
Let the meatballs fry until one side is golden brown.
Flip them over using a fork or strainer and cook them equally on the other side.
Drain them on paper towels. Repeat until all your meatballs are cooked.
Serve lady's thigh meatballs with french fries, macaroni and cheese and any vegetable side dish for a delicious, simple and economical meal with a Turkish twist.

The variables are Unicode, HTML, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and the software used by the forum. And temperature and air pressure and GMT, plus or minus.
The objective is to attempt to add more than sacred convention to the end of a sentence.
En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre… Así empezó. La inmortalidad de la palabra fluyó de la pluma cervantina.
Above one sees the "everybody does it" spacing some love and admire because everybody does it. Others may not share the same stylistic preferences, much less the motivation. Let us now attempt to add some space, with & nbsp ;, without spaces, of course.
En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre… Así empezó. La inmortalidad de la palabra fluyóde la pluma cervantina. If the browser doesn't truncate, we should see a bit more space.
It appears to have worked. Inserting the html non-breaking space code, & n b s p ;, with no spaces between those bold characters, does add space. It doesn't seem to be an em quad, but that is for another day's experiment.
Now, let's see if repeating the html code adds still more space.
This is conventional text. Having hit the space bar three or four times following the period-full stop, the html—browser tandem should have truncated it to a single space. And so it has.
This is a conventional test. Having inserted a single space…
This is a convention overturned test. An additional space is sought.
This is convention disregarded. We shall see what happens when inserting the code twice.
Final test. Code plus single trailing space inserted four times.
Parameters include ancient (hyperbole. Just relatively old.) ipad, current ios safari. Will try later with latest Windows 10, Chrome and Firefox, and also with OSX, running FF and Chrome. Don't touch that dial, kiddies, The Loooooone Spacer chides again! Hi Ho Tantric!

New Product
Introducing the ALL NEW Cellpro 10XP Charger
Built on the original Cellpro 10s charger technology and feature set, the ALL NEW Cellpro 10XP is designed to provide a whopping 15A max current output, and 600W of power (rated @30V DC input when charging a 10s Li battery) - all without increasing the size from the original product, and available at an extremely competitive price. At right around $.25 per watt, you will be hard-pressed to find a safer, faster, more-complete solution to meet your charging needs in the 600W class. Supporting manual charge currents up to 15A or AUTO Charge rates (1.0C, 2.0C, and 3.0C), the CP10XP is capable of safely charging one or two lithium battery packs. Add to this new features like Multi-Chemistry support (the CP10XP can charge Li, A123 (LiFePO4), NiCd, NiMH, and Pb battery types), Auto charge or discharge to storage levels (Li only), 10 user-configurable presets, free Charge Control Software (CCS), and you really start to get an idea of how much value is packed into this U.S.-designed and supported charger.
As a lithium battery charger, the CP10XP still maintains the key aspects of the original 10s in that it is literally a plug and play device. After connecting the batteries to the charger, charging commences with the press of a button. The charger will always remember the last-used preset. But leave it up to FMA Direct to come up with clever, intuitive ways to support multiple chemistries. Out-of-the-box, the Cellpro 10XP is ready to handle virtually any type of battery available. Chemistries are assigned to user presets. Just select a preset, connect the battery, and press the START button. Chemistries, cell count, and current can also be changed at the charger "on the fly". If using the free CCS (requires FUIM2 or FUIM3 PC USB interface), full access to available preset parameters are easily adjustable including preset names, selection for multiple canned fuel tables (to improve the accuracy of AUTO charge mode for your battery types), an more!
Because it is a Cellpro, it is designed to be safe first and foremost. It is virtually impossible to damage batteries with the Cellpro 10XP charger. It will not let you make a mistake. It must see all the cells in a Lithium pack and the sum of the cell voltages must equal the total pack voltage. It is ideal for charging one or two LiPo, LiIon, or A123 type batteries. When two packs are connected to the 10XP, it automatically interconnects them in series internally inside of the charger. It essentially "sees" all the individual cells as one pack of cells. It can handle 1s-5s on either or both balance charge ports, or it can handle up to a 10s battery pack using both ports. To achieve the full 15A max output current, connect both the balance connectors and the main leads from the pack(s) to the banana jacks.* While the Cellpro 10XP can handle charging two packs of different capacities or charge states, it is mainly intended to support 2 pack charging when the packs are the same or similar capacity and state of charge, such as 2 x 4s packs which are wired together in series or parallel during operation in an electric aircraft.
The Cellpro 10XP charger supports the direct connection of all Cellpro Revolectrix battery packs. Certain Cellpro battery packs may require the use of the Cellpro 6 pin-to-5 pin adapter (sold separately). In addition, FMA currently sells 4s adapters separately to interface with various manufacturer's battery packs up to 4s configurations. If you own a Cellpro 4s, Cellpro GOLD, or Cellpro Multi4 charger, you may have the adapters you need already. These adapters may be used with the new CP10XP charger for packs up to 4s by connecting through the Cellpro 6 pin-to-5 pin adapters. FMA also offers Cellpro 10s adapters for other manufacturer's 2s to 6s packs for use with the Cellpro 10XP directly. Two adapters are required to charge two packs using the Cellpro 10XP charger. If you already own Cellpro 10s adapters, these work directly with the Cellpro 10XP as well. It is recommended that you download and read the available User's Guide to determine your precise requirements. Click here to view the Adapters page. A customer may also adapt to his larger battery packs (over 6s) by installing the 6 pin Cellpro balancing connectors (CPBP6P-10) or a combination of the 5 pin Cellpro balancing connector (CPBP7) and the CPBP6P-10 to his battery packs directly. All current and future Cellpro Revolectrix branded battery packs will adhere to the following conventions for the above connectors. We recommend that customers adhere to the standards we have defined when re-wiring battery packs using the Cellpro battery pigtails. Click here to view a pictorial diagram of Cellpro battery standard wiring conventions corresponding to the following summary:
Number of Cells
1 CPBP7 and 1 CPBP6P-10
Last, but not least, the new Cellpro 10XP also supports XH MODE wiring. This feature originally became available in the Cellpro PowerLab 8 Battery Workstation. By default, the CP10XP is set up to work on the original FMA wiring standard. But if the wiring mode is switched to XH MODE, the charger will work with batteries including the ever-popular JST XH or EH balance connectors and wiring scheme. By switching the CP10XP over to XH MODE, you can easily interconnect the charger to your favorite standard or parallel adapters. This involves retrofitting (replacing) the JST XH/EH balance wire pigtail coming from the standard or parallel adapter with the 6 pin Cellpro battery pigtails (CPBP6P-10) described above. XH MODE is also covered extensively in the available user's guide.
* Note - the Cellpro 10XP charger no longer supports balance-wire-only charging and; therefore, no longer requires the "plug blocker" that came with the original Cellpro 10s charger.

CP10XP Auto 3C of 3S 2200 40C(?)
This LiPoly rated 40C but is really more like a true 25-30C however as I help develop the Fuel Tables for this charger I wanted to see how it behaved under such circustances. Looks good to me.
Added Auto 3C charge of Billowy 60C using 50C fuel table .
Added 15A manual charge using 12V power supply
FYI Auto C rate charging is limited to a max. of 6 amps.

Auto mode looks much improved. But are we back to using a single fuel table for all packs? Does that provide reliable results?
As for the charger announcement, I'm very happy to see FMA working on filling the sub-1000 watt charger catagory. But I feel the specs could result in some customer sat issues when they discover that very few common charging configurations will come close to the 645 watt rating. I would much rather seen either increasing the output current to 20 amps, or increasing the cell count to 12 and keeping a lower current rating. This charger will be best suited for modelers using 4s, 5s, 8s or 10s. Modelers with 3s, 6s, and 12s would do much better to stick to the Powerlab8.
FYI The POWERLAB8 was used to generate fuel tables and I ran them for 25-65C Lipolys and FMA's Engineer took my Fuel Tables and other placed them in a spread sheet and came up with the ones now in the CP10XP. Here is hoping they suit the masses as I have around 80 hours in the ones I ran.
No perfect charger for everyone. This charger will satisfy the needs of many. Electrics continue to get larger and more powerful however many still use 2-4S of less than 3500 mAh Lipolys and this charger even on a 12V power source will charge either singles or pairs of sizes that many use.
As for no perfect charger, the inventible iComparison to one particually similarly priced charger may produce unhappy customers that thought they were getting almost twice the wattage. But it turns out they ended up with even less usable wattage than the other charger.
While I base my purchase decisions on far more than just the "max number", I know the cannot be said for the majority of modelers. Time will tell and hopefully this model will make big spash in that sub 1000 watt market.
Fact is I only do Fuel Tables at FMA's request as I have no use for them myself. I know that 3.7 is (empty)as low as I like to fly to,that 3.8 is storage,4.1 is 90%.4.15 is 95% and 4.2 is full or atleast close enough in my book..
I only use Auto C rate when I am charging a wide assortment of LiPoly at the field and do not want to end up charging a 500 or 1300 mAh one at 10 to 20Amps by mistake.
Auto 3C took 25 and 30 minutes while 5.7C (15A) took 12 minutes. If I used Faster Charge instead of Accurate Balance the 15A charge would likely been closer to 10 minutes and that is my normal turn around time when I fly.

Sorry, the CP10XP is a lot more than just a firmware update to the original 10s. If you tried to load the 10XP firmware into the 10s, it wouldn't let you because it's an entirely different product code.
Tim Marks
Okay thanks!
Because I don't use A123, Life etc batteries.
I am just use lipo (and NIMH) batteries on the CP 10S.
Will be there a firmware update for the CP 10S without A123, life batteries charging features.
So the new charger features for NIMH and PB batteries will fit in existing micro processor?

National selector Trevor Hohns said Kane Richardson has been rewarded for strong performances in the Sheffield Shield and his efforts when selected for Australia in limited overs cricket, where he continues to impress.
Richardson played his junior cricket in Darwin with Pint and Waratah Cricket Clubs, representing the NT in the U15 Championships before his move to South Australia. In 2009 he was named in Australia's U19 squad for the U19 Cricket World Cup in India, where he starred with bat and ball to help Australia to their third U19 World Cup Title. Richardson continued to play for the SA Redbacks and made his first class debut for SA in the Sheffield Sheild in 2010/2011.
In 2014 he returned to Darwin to play in the Australia A series against India A, South Africa A and the National Performance Squad. Richardson impressed national selectors with his performance in the quad series and was included in both the ODI and T20 squads, making his debut for Australia in October 2014.
Mark Sorell, Senior Manager of Pathways and Cricket praised Kane Richardson's effort and work ethic. "We're proud to show that the Northern Territory can offer a great opportunity for players to develop their careers and move through the pathway to state cricket and on to higher honours. With several of our NT cricketers like D'Arcy Short and Tabatha Saville making their way into state cricket, BBL/WBBL, and international cricket, the NT is fast being recognized as a key exporter of talent to the Cricket Australia pathway".
Richardson has had solid success with the white ball, in recent years with the BBL for Adelaide Strikers and the Melbourne Renegades as well as his form in the T20 and international ODIs.
National Selector Trevor Hohns wrapped up the selections saying, "There has been bit of a focus in this contracting period on white-ball cricket, as we look ahead to trying to win back-to-back World Cups. The period ahead is set to include a significant amouth of limited overs cricket, ahead of the ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales.'

Conservation Updates | TCV Score Card | Learning to Tread Lightly
TSRA was founded on September 15, 1966 to "preserve, protect and restore the scenic, free-flowing rivers of our State."
The founders listed five objectives:
One of the group's first efforts was to help pass the Tennessee Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, which mandated state government protection of an initial ten rivers that were designated "scenic." These first ten rivers were: Blackburn Fork, Buffalo, Collins, Conasauga, French Broad, Harpeth, Hiwassee, Roaring River, Spring Creek and Tuckahoe Creek. Since 1968, TSRA has worked to have five additional rivers designated for "scenic" protection. They are the Clinch, Duck, Hatchie, Obed and Soak Creek.

Coffee Shop. Custom Motorcycle Workshop and Showroom. Event Space.
Smoked Garage has developed an international reputation for building unique, one-off, jaw
dropping custom motorcycles. Originating in Bali, Indonesia, the brand expanded to Australia a
few years ago, opening a workshop & showroom first in Mt Gravatt, before relocating to an
incredible, 120+ year old warehouse/former ice factory in the back streets of Fortitude Valley.
Smoked Garage has since stepped it up a notch (or rather, several) and relocated again, this time now to a permanent home – an even more incredible 3 story building bang on Wickham St at the top end of the Valley.
Also over a hundred years old, the new location features exposed beams, high ceilings, brick walls and
timber floors – and a whole lot of history. The basement houses the fully functional workshop, and the Wickham St level features the showroom displaying a collection of beautiful, hand crafted
machines – cafe racers, bobbers, scramblers, and everything in between.
A coffee shop serving what is hands down the tastiest coffee your hard earned can buy – no joke.
Some simple food offerings are on the menu to start, which will expand quickly over time.
The third (top) level will eventually become a dedicated event space with over 330sqm of open
area – due for completion late 2018.
Visit today – 126 Wickham St, Fortitude Valley.
Opening hours –
Cafe from 6am Mon – Fri.
Showroom 8.30am – 5pm Mon – Fri & 8.30am – 3pm Saturdays.

Lori Senecal, one of the high ranking CP+B's staff, will step down before the year ends. She is in charge of the advertising agency's global growth and expansion through the coordination of the ten international offices owned by the firm. Senecal became the first Global CEO of CP+B in 2015. Chuck Porter confirms that he head hunted Lori Senecal because of her "management genius" and organizational strengths. Two years later, Porter is pleased to announce that Senecal revamped CP+B and the agency is presently as nimble and as flexible as an entrepreneurial startup.
Although CP+B has achieved a lot under Senecal's stewardship as the Global CEO, the agency's landing of American Airlines in 2015 is thought to be the most significant achievement. CP+B snatched the American Airlines account from TM advertising, an organization that had worked with the airline for over 25 years. CP+B was one of the Advertising Age's 2017's "Creativity Innovators of the Year." She is also credited with establishing an efficient management structure and a modern communication system responsible for the agency's rapid communication.
Last year, Ideamensch recognized Senecal among the four "Agency Executives to Watch." Senecal is not new to such recognition; she has appeared twice among AdWeek's "Power 100 List" which recognizes top leaders in media, marketing, and tech. Fast Company named Senecal among the "Most Creative People in Business in 2017."
On GC Report, Senecal stressed that she decided to resign and exit the ads business wilfully. Porter confirms Senecal's statement by stating that she had established functional structures within the company; something she was hired to do, and therefore she is at liberty to leave the company. Senecal further alludes to the fact she planned her exit plan with Porter immediately she became part of the group.
Prior to joining CP+B, Senecal served as the president and CEO of MDC Partners Network. She didn't quit the role even as she served as the Global CEO of CP+B. Perhaps the most notable achievement of Senecal occurred while she served as Global Chairman and CEO of KBS. She tripled the workforce of the agency in addition to expanding its operations to the international market. She appeared at the 3% conference on YouTube that recognizes women in leadership where she encouraged creativity to solve some of the challenges experienced in the industry.

I completed a science psychology degree in 2004, then trained as an integrative psychotherapist in 2016, I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy) and an approved therapist with the charity 'Anxiety UK'. I also completed a masters in counselling and psychotherapy furthering my interest in the academic world of psychology.
As an integrative therapist, I do not draw on just one type of therapy style – instead, I am trained to use several techniques. This allows me to work with different skill sets depending on your concerns. The integrative approach is based on the principle that we are all different; therefore counselling needs to reflect this. Additionally, different problems call for different approaches; some concerns need a structured intervention, whilst others need a more explorative approach. Essentially, we can work together to decide which would suit you best, depending on your concerns and your preferred method of working. This reflects my philosophy that counselling should always be a collaborative effort.
I have previously volunteered as a bereavement counsellor within a palliative care unit after completing bereavement counselling training with the NHS. I have a particular interest in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – a type of therapy that looks at how we may change our unhelpful thought patterns and therefore the unhelpful behaviours associated with them. Lastly, having spent 20 something years in the corporate world, I have seen first-hand how a stressful lifestyle can lead to a sense of imbalance. Often life happens at a pace faster than we can process it, and in addition to busy schedules and pressure to succeed – issues such as anxiety, depression, lack of confidence, troubled relationships, and bereavement can make it much harder to cope. Counselling is a useful tool from which we can make sense of our chaotic lives and restore a sense of balance.

Small body size predicts hip fractures in older women.
To test the hypothesis that small body size predicts the risk for other clinical fractures.
Prospective cohort study.
Population-based listings in four areas of the United States.
8059 ambulatory nonblack women 65 years of age or older.
Weight, weight change since 25 years of age, body mass index, lean body mass and percent body fat, and nonspine fractures during 6.4 years of follow-up.
Compared with women in the highest quartile of weight, women in the lowest quartile had relative risks of 2.0 (95% CI, 1.5 to 2.8) for hip fractures, 2.3 (CI, 1.1 to 4.7) for pelvis fractures, and 2.4 (CI, 1.5 to 3.9) for rib fractures. Adjustment for total-hip bone mineral density eliminated the elevated risk. Results were similar for other body size measures. Smaller body size was not a risk factor for humerus, elbow, wrist, ankle, or foot fractures.
Total body weight is useful in the prediction of hip, pelvis, and rib fractures when bone mineral density has not been measured.

River cruises are a great opportunity to see the cities and sites of Russia in a short time without getting too tired along the way.
Instead, you will rest, breathe in the fresh river air, and take in the beautiful Russian surroundings floating before you. And if you ever get bored with the view, you will have bars, a music salon, movie theaters, children's rooms, and activity organizers at your disposal. It is worthwhile to find a complete list of services and activities while choosing your cruise and your ship.
The most popular cruises are the Volga cruises.
The Volga River is the longest river in Europe and is one of the largest in the world. Since ancient times, people have settled along its banks.
A river cruise along the Volga is a fascinating journey that allows you to see and visit ancient cities, enjoy the beauty of nature, and even experience (and see with your own eyes) the change of climate zones.
There are short trips, so called weekend cruises, which are 3-4 days long. But it would be impossible to see much in such a short time. Unfortunately, you can't cover enough distance in just 3 days. This is because while navigating through the Moscow canal you will need to pass through a system of five locks, which alone will take quite a long time. The main routes of such cruises from Moscow are roundtrips to Uglich, Tver, and Myshkin (sometimes with stops at Dmitrov, Konakovo, Kimry or Kalyazin). Oftentimes during such cruises so called green stops are made, allowing you to rest in nature with a barbeque and games.
Longer trips (5-8 days) allow you to see more. These are cruises to Ples, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Nizhny Novgorod, and other cities, many of which are included in the Golden Ring of Russia. Intermediate stops vary depending on the selected cruise. These can include Dmitrov, Kimry, Kalyazin, Uglich, Myshkin, Rybinsk, Tutaev, Kineshma, Yurievets, Chkalovsk, and Gorodets.
However if you have enough time, the best choice would be a 19-20 day cruise with a final destination of Astrakhan. This is an ancient city, situated on eleven islands, and is a large river and sea port. Repeat aloud what Russian students have repeated every year, and will continue repeating: "The Volga flows into the Caspian Sea." Astrakhan is in the semi-arid climate zone, which gives you the opportunity to watch the weather change as you approach your final destination.
Such a long cruise gives you the opportunity to see a huge number of sites and monuments, breathe in enough of the fresh air, and even get a tan.
Intermediate stops on the route are likely to be made in the cities of Uglich, Myshkin, Rybinsk, Tutaev, Kineshma, Yurievets, Chkalovsk, Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod, Makarov, Kozmodemyansk, the capital of Chuvashia - Cheboksary, Mariinsky Posad, Sivyazhsk, the capital of Tatarstan - Kazan, Ulyanovsk, Togliatti, Samara, Khvalynsk, Saratov, Kamyshin, Volgograd, Nikolskoe, and Astrakhan itself.
We advise buying round-trip tickets in order to see the same monasteries, towns, and natural beauty (the list is infinite) that you will see at night on your way to Astrakhan again, and this time in broad daylight.
Far fewer cruises are organized along the Oka river. But this doesn't mean that they are less interesting. There are cruises to Kolomna, Ryazan, and Murom with intermediate stops in Kasimov, Konstantinov, and other cities.
River cruises from Moscow to St. Petersburg are popular.
This cruise has the following approximate itinerary: from the Moscow river the river boat enters the Moscow Canal and reaches the Volga. Oftentimes, the river boat makes a stop in Uglich and Myshkin, letting its passengers visit the city's attractions and buy some fun souvenirs with the Mouse, and then moves on into the Rybinsk Reservoir, stops in Cherepovets; in the Vologda Oblast it almost always docks at the village of Goritsa (three ancient monasteries and Mount Maura are in the vicinity), navigates into White lake (with a stop at the town of Belozersk), along the river Kovzha approaches the city of Vytegra and then, after passing lock chambers in the canal, enters the huge lake Onega, famous for its islands. One of the islands features the famous open air Kizhi museum of wooden architecture. Then the river boat approaches Petrozavodsk, navigates along the Svir river to Ladoga lake, makes a stop at the island of Valaam (the Valaam monastery is the stronghold of Russian Orthodoxy) to let you admire the island of Horse-stone; then navigates to the Neva (sometimes making a stop on the island Orekhovy, which is notorious for its fortress-prison of Schlisselburg), and finally docks in Saint Petersburg.
Stops in Sortavala and Pellotsari are possible.
The number of stops during cruises varies depending on the duration of each cruise. For example, it is rarely possible to visit both Kizhi and Valaam during one trip if you take a one-way cruise of 7 or fewer days. It is impossible to see all the sights in such a short time, and to fully explore the beauty of the Russian North choosing roundtrip cruises with a duration of 12-13 days that let you see a lot of different sites and cities is recommended.
Other cruises have been gaining popularity, including the Don cruises. Their final destination is more often than not the most beautiful Rostov-on-Don, while intermediate stops are made at the aforementioned city of Uglich, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Nizhny Novgorod, Cheboksary, Kazan, Samara, Saratov, and Volgograd. Further on lie Ilevka, Kalach-on-Don, Tsimlyansk, Konstantinovsk, Novocherkassky.
The Volga-Don canal will amaze you with more than a hundred water control structures. Joking aside, there are 13 locks, 3 dams, and 17 embankments!
There are also separate cruises to the Solovetsky Islands, to Valaam, the Kama river routs, and many others.
Ships depart from Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Astrakhan, and other cities. You can buy tickets online, at river boat stations' ticket offices, on specialized websites, or on transport companies' websites.
Remember, the earlier you order your tickets (the biggest discounts are in early October – December, 9-10% off), the cheaper they will be. Discounts for pre-orders are usually valid until February 1, but this should be figured out on an individual basis. It is also worthwhile to find out whether there is a discount for children under 14 years of age (any season) and the possibility of free travel for children up to five years old (without their own bed, in which case the cost of excursions and meals are paid separately), and children up to two years old - without any payment for excursions and meals.
We will help you to choose the most interesting cruise and will book it for you.
We are sure that with the large variety of choices you will definitely find a cruise to your liking.

Companion publication
The companion publication is intended to give policy advisers, entrepreneurs and those who work within health systems a better understanding of the key issues related to taking action on socially-determined health inequalities. It is based on a review of 15 examples of health systems action which are included or being developed for inclusion in the web-based resource.
The publication aims to show how to systematically use and generate evidence-informed options for action from the knowledge contained in the 15 examples or case studies. Here the case studies are used as a source of data rather than as exemplars. This means that the examples are not written in chronological order or as story and each section can be read separately.
The publication also contains a checklist of generic principles that can be put into practice or used to review the examples of health system actions. It can assist you to design and develop your own policy response. However, the checklist is not intended to be followed unwaveringly like a prescription or a recipe. It has been designed to enable you to:
- check that the information collected from each example adequately addresses or answers each of the principles, after it has been collated; and/or
- to review proposed options for health system action on socially determined health inequalities (SDHI) prior to implementation, in order to check that the options adequately address each of the principles .
It is intended to stimulate new approaches and interpretations within an individual health system context. Thus, the checklist can be used to interrogate, evaluate and better understand examples of action, so that these examples can be adapted and reshaped to achieve a better fit with prevailing circumstances of the particular health system.
This is not to imply that ticking off each of the principles means we will get it right – this is not the ultimate goal. Policy (particularly health and social) responses involve a degree of uncertainty and complexity, and therefore there are issues, which while they seem obvious (e.g., was the problem correctly defined) are important enough to include in a checklist, so that they are not overlooked. The principles in the companion publication are thus proposed as a checklist. The aim is to ensure we do not forget to take the obvious but core steps (1) in creating an evidence-informed foundation for development of health systems actions on SDHI.
We therefore recommend you read and use the checklist in the companion publication in conjunction with the web-based resource.

A perihelion is the point in the Earth's orbit where it is nearest to the Sun. The opposite is called aphelion, where the Earth moves furthest away. During perihelion, the Sun's light tends to be more intense because of the increased proximity. This event typically occurs in January, several weeks after the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. While it might seem like it should be summer for everyone when the Earth is close to the Sun, seasons are determined by the planet's tilt, not its location in space.
The difference between perihelion and aphelion is not much, on the scale of the rest of space. At perihelion, the Earth is almost 92 million miles (about 147.5 million kilometers) from the Sun, while at aphelion, it moves close to 95 million miles (around 152.6 million kilometers) away. These relatively small distances are the result of the Earth's nearly circular orbit around the Sun; in scientific terms, it is said to have "low eccentricity," unlike planets like Pluto, which have much more exaggerated elliptical orbits.
Dating can shift from year to year, as the Earth's orbit around the Sun does not take exactly 365 days. Scientists can calculate the precise date and time of perihelion using predictive formulas and calendar adjustments like leap years. Periodically they may need to add leap seconds or other units of time to compensate for small variations that can add up over extended periods of time. They can also use this information to extrapolate backward to determine the date of perihelion at various points in history.
Researchers can use a variety of tools to measure distance at perihelion and to determine the intensity of the light on the Earth's surface during this period. The Earth's regular orbit is one of the reasons the plant is habitable, because it doesn't go through extremes as it moves around the Sun. Seasons are a result of the planet's off-center tilt, but remain comparatively mild. Planets with similar orbital characteristics might also potentially harbor life, and are sometimes targets for searches by astronomers.
Observers on Earth may not notice very much of a different during perihelion and aphelion. The Sun's size would appear the same, for those who used tools to view it safely, like heavily filtered cameras. While the Sun's light is more intense, the difference is not significant enough for people to notice on the ground without specialized tools.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Guido on Gaming: Dice!!
Take a minute to think about a gaming table. Imagine everything you would expect to see on that table. Surely you are imagining things like character sheets, books, pencils, maybe a GM screen, possibly even miniatures. Without a doubt you are also imagining one of my favorite gaming things in the world, dice. Dice! I can honestly say that I love dice with an unhealthy passion. I own three different dicebags stuffed with hundreds of dice. And I'm not satisfied I want more!
As I mentioned in my previous article, I was sitting at my new local gaming store Gateway Games and More, and I was helping them to unpack some product. One of the things I unpacked was a veritable horde of dice. Something like twenty or thirty of those plastic cases with dice sets in them. After unpacking them I sat there and stared at this:
I stared at that and thought to myself… I want those. I want all of them, every single one. My next thought was what I could do with them. What I mean is I thought of what they could represent in terms of my gaming. See, I don't just use dice as random number generators in my game. I use them to help me express myself and express my characters. I find that its something that a lot of people do to one extent or another. Just recently I talked my wife into trying gaming again, under one condition. That condition is that she got to buy pink glittery dice. So I found some, and will be buying them for her. Its just that she wants dice that make her feel like herself.
Back when I first started gaming I played a game called Legend of the Five Rings. This game is a feudal asian game where the people are organized into clans. Each clan has an animal totem such as Lion, Crab, Scorpion, Phoenix etc. The clans also have a sort of color scheme. You can recognize a person a lot of times by the colors that they wear. Personally, I am a big fan of the Lion clan, the Lion clan colors are golds, browns, and general earth tones. So when I first started playing I made it a point to go out and buy these dice:
To me these dice represent the Lion clan. When I roll these dice I feel like a samurai bushi who stands for honor and duty. I kept this idea in the back of my mind the entire time I played L5R and continued buying new sets of dice for each clan.
Then I moved on to Pathfinder and felt lost. Without that clan aspect to hold onto I felt almost as if I couldn't get behind my characters quite as much as I could before. So I looked for something else I could latch onto and pull me into the character in that same way. Again, dice were there for me. One of the first characters I played was a fighter who was chaotic neutral, not so much because he was trying to be in the middle, more so because he was fighting within himself to find a balance between his good and evil sides. So I bought this dice set:
They perfectly represent that "shades of gray" image I was striving for in the character. I moved on to playing an avaricious wizard. He was completely driven by the idea of gaining wealth and constantly carried a small bag of gems. In order to get into the mood of that character I picked up these dice:
So as you can see dice can really help you not only express yourself, but also express your character as well. There are many things that dice can do for you. For example look at this picture…
The first thing that pops into my head is the white dice at the back. They look like something pure that was tainted by blood. So in my head I immediately get the idea of a paladin character. A character who embodies purity, but does so while splattering their ideals with lots of blood. Now look at the red and black dice with green numbers in the front there. Those dice evoke a feeling of deadly poison to me. So maybe a deadly assassin character, or an alchemist, maybe even an herbalist. Maybe the blue ones to the right of the picture could represent something sort of heavenly like a cleric, an astronomer, or an astronaut. Lastly, look at the two d20's up front. They are made of two separate colors. Could these be dice that represent someone with a dual nature? Maybe a superhero with a secret identity or someone with a multiple personality disorder.
Next time you are creating a character or buying some dice, give some thought to how those dice affect your gaming. You never know, they might just inspire you in new and interesting ways.

Excellent observations. All of the dice are rather 'standard'–where are the Q-Workshop and for the love of all that is holy where are your Gamescience dice?

A Three Wish Circus Celebrates Make-A-Wish North Texas
Circuses are great fun, with animals on display, clowns putting on a show and the amazing acrobatic displays to wow the audience. On Aug. 21, A Three-Wish Circus is an opportunity to take part in a circus-themed night out to benefit Make-A-Wish North Texas.
A Three Wish Circus, in the El Paso area, will be a great opportunity to enjoy this great night out while helping Make-A-Wish North Texas help children with critical illnesses have their wishes come true. More than 300 attendees are expected to be at the Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino Signature Showroom (1200 Futurity Drive, Sunland Park, NM). There will be an auction, and Make-A-Wish will grant one wish live at the event.
Help Grant Wishes In El Paso
Make-A-Wish North Texas is hoping to grant the wishes of more than 80 children in the El Paso area this year. The average cost of a wish is $8,000, so attending A Three Wish Circus is vital. Tickets for the event are $100 each, or a table for 10 is $1,000. There are several sponsorship levels if you are interested in getting involved that way: Ring Master ($50,000); Big Top ($25,000); Grandstand ($15,000); Main Ring ($10,000); Under The Stars ($7,500); Trapeze Artist ($5,000); Clown Alley ($2,500). For more information, please contact Natalie Eckberg at email@example.com.
No matter how you participate in A Three Wish Circus, you can help. Make-A-Wish North Texas aims to grant more than 500 wishes across their 161 counties that they serve – it's one of the biggest chapters in the country!
Continue To Help Make-A-Wish When You Donate Your Car
If you can't make it to the El Paso Area for A Three Wish Circus, you can help Make-A-Wish North Texas in other ways – and it starts in your garage when you donate a car this summer. When you donate a vehicle to Wheels For Wishes, you are turning your vehicle into wishes for children with critical illnesses in North Texas.
Plus, the process of donating a vehicle is easy. All you need to do is give us a call at 1-877-431-9474 or donate a car online using our simple donation form. We will pick up your vehicle from anywhere in North Texas and you will receive the maximum possible tax deduction for your donation. Don't hesitate to give us a call. Even if you aren't sure how to donate a car, representatives will walk you through the car donation process and answer any questions you might have. Give us a call today and help make a wish come true for a child in your neighborhood!

When you head East on I-10 towards Slidell, you'll see that strange, small castle sitting on Irish Bayou.
This castle is known as Fisherman's Castle. Currently, Charles and Jean Kuhl live inside. They bought the castle in 1995.
"I never thought I'd have a castle as a retirement home," Charles Kuhl said.
Fisherman's Castle sits on the Irish Bayou and was built to with-hold the wildest of hurricanes. It survived both Hurricane Katrina and Isaac.
Simon Villemarette built the castle back in 1981 to look like a 14th century chateau. Villemarette built it for the World's Fair in anticipation of tourists wanting to visit it. Decades and a few owners later, this 942-square foot castle is still a point of interest.
"We have people stop by everyday. They want to take pictures," he said.
Inside the castle is decorated in true medieval fashion. Knights, statues, swords, and doors…

After much speculation, the identity of the next actor to take on the role of everyone's favourite Time Lord has been revealed…
Jodie Whittaker, star of Attack The Block and Broadchurch, is the new star of Doctor Who, and will make her debut when the current 12th Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, regenerates during the Christmas special. Whittaker is the first woman to play the Doctor (excluding Joanna Lumley's cameo during the Comic Relief sketch 'The Curse Of Fatal Death', of course) and the casting choice has proven to be polarising among fans, to say the least.
The move has been hailed as progressive and long overdue by some, a reflection of Doctor Who's constantly changing, forward-thinking nature. And then there are those who complain that "political correctness" has tarnished their favourite thing, much like that Ghostbusters reboot apparently "ruined" everybody's childhood. These people are quick to point out that they don't hate women, they just don't want to see a woman get a chance to play one of the most sought-after roles on modern television, with one of the biggest international audiences. Because heaven forbid little girls see a woman represented on-screen as the hero, instead of just the sidekick.
Of course, fans of the show who are trying to rationalise that the main character have a fixed gender seem to be overlooking the fact that the Doctor is an immortal time-travelling alien with two hearts who regularly cheats death by regenerating into a new body, each time adopting a completely different appearance and personality. How is the character switching genders the only part they're having trouble embracing?
And let's not forget that gender-switching Time Lords have been a part of the show's canon for some time now. We've just enjoyed a season-long arc with Missy, the recent female incarnation of The Master, played with wicked glee by Michelle Gomez, who proved that a Time Lady can be just as entertaining as a Time Lord. Perhaps the Doctor saw all the fun Missy was having and decided that after living for 1,000 years as a man, he fancied a change?
New showrunner Chris Chibnall has stated that he always intended to cast a woman as the next Doctor, and that Whittaker was his first choice, but it was all top secret until yesterday, prompting fans to speculate that the part would go to Idris Elba. While a number of the Doctor's companions since the 2005 reboot have been black, the Time Lord himself has always been a white man. And even though casting Jodie Whittaker is a departure from the norm, some fans are growing frustrated that at this pace, it feels like it might be another fifty years before we see a non-white Doctor flying the TARDIS.
All of this furore and we have yet to even see Whittaker as the Doctor, aside from a 60 second promotional video released by the BBC over the weekend. The next season of Doctor Who will include a new companion and a new executive producer, providing a blank slate for new adventures. Whittaker has the acting chops to take on Daleks and whatever else the fictional universe of Doctor Who throws at her — we're confident she can handle trolls, too.
