Homeopathic Remedies for Senile Dementia
Senile dementia is a progressive disease of the elderly in which brain cells waste away due to several factors. Lack of blood supply from artherosclerosis is a primary cause of dementia. British homeopath, Dr. Andrew Lockie explains that all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's, are characterized by one or more symptoms such as memory loss, cognitive problems, confusion of identity and difficulty following conversations or reading comprehension. Reasoning may be impaired with a lack of interest in life and personality breakdown often results. A variety of homeopathic medicines have been found helpful.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Baryta Carbonicum
Baryta Carbonicum is used to treat those suffering from dementia and degenerative conditions of the circulatory system, such as artherosclerosis, which affects blood flow to the brain. It is effective in treating memory loss, mental impairment, timidity, childish reactions to various circumstances, indecision and physical and mental fatigue, according to William Boericke in his book, "Materia Medica and Repertory. 1"
According to Lockie, Lycopodium offers relief to dementia patients who have become forgetful, make errors in speaking, reading and writing, lack confidence and experience mental confusion and frustration. The remedy may be helpful for those who become angry and lose their tempers due to frustration, causing them to become bossy, obstinate, tyrannical and difficult for caregivers and family members, according to Boericke. An alkaloid found in Lycopodium, which is also present in the Chinese herb Huperzia serrata has been show to significantly assist the memory and improve some cognitive defects in older patients, according to the National Institutes of Health on PubMed.com.
Frans Vermeulen in his book, "Synoptic Materia Medica I," explains how the remedy Conium is used to treat the elderly for depression, shyness and fear of being alone 2. The remedy treats memory loss, as well as relieving the mental confusion and loss of cognitive function that sets in as a result of grief over the loss of a spouse. Conium often helps people regain the ability to concentrate and focus.
Boericke explains that homeopathic Phosphorus helps improve the circulation in people with artherosclerosis increasing blood flow to the brain. It's used to stimulate cognitive function, reduce memory loss and help a person overcome the fear of death. It helps with absent-mindedness, confusion, daydreaming and anguish over being alone, according to Vermeulen. Phosphorus also helps people with dementia who feel like their brain is tired and doesn't work properly, according to Boericke.
Alumina helps Alzheimer's patients who have difficulty expressing their ideas and thoughts, make mistakes when speaking and writing, are easily panicked and suffer mental confusion with reference to their identity, according to Vermeulen. In other words, they forget who they are and can also forget where they are.

HaijiHow much do you make monthly with NEStalgia :)
Jun 2 2013, 1:15 pm
Cloud MagicI have a few questions as a fellow developer, working on a large project alone, that I'd like to ask you:
Jul 13 2012, 7:04 pm
1) How long did NEStalgia take to first come to life? What I mean by that is, how many hours of programming do you think you did?
2) Why did you feel that using 16-bit graphics was a better choice when we now have the capability to use millions of colors?
3) If you had a large-scale feature to work on, which road do you think you'd more commonly take:
2 hour road - code is extremley messy but work-able
5 hour road - code is neat and organized, could be a bit better
7 hour road - code is amazing, but still lacks a bit more shine
9 hour road - code is perfected
and how often do you think you'd end up taking your preferred path?
4) If you could have done something different during the early stages of development, what would you have changed? What do you hope to learn from NEStalgia that will assist you in future project's early development?
5) What are some methods you use to keep yourself programming even if you'd rather be spending time playing video games or goofing off?
DevelopousI would coordinate a massive game project with you if you wish. Put you on my pager. Possibly the most original rpg we ever came across, but dont think for a moment that even the planning stage will be easy if you accept.

Former MIT blackjack whiz Eric Boyd cashes in his chips at Yahoo
Yahoo's VP of platform engineering Eric Boyd is leaving Yahoo after ten years at the company, according to a source. Boyd, pictured here with friend Kyle and actress Kate Bosworth at the premiere of card-sharp thriller 21, made a name for himself as a member of the MIT card-counting team the current box office smash is based on. At Yahoo, he helped developed the user database, mail systems, My Yahoo portal, and most recently, the company's OpenSocial project, reporting to do-little EVP Ash Patel. What might have convinced him to go? I mean, besides the whole Microsoft thing?
The prospect of working on Apex, the promised "one ad platform to unite them all" which is mired in managerial turf wars, under Boyd's former mentor, rising tech star Qi Lu. Where's he going to? Mochi Media, an Accel Partners-backed startup which inserts online ads in Flash games.

Sandwiched between the Netherlands and France, Belgium is split into two distinct regions. Dutch-speaking Flanders is in the north, while French-speaking Wallonia sits in the south. To confuse things, the Belgian capital, Brussels, is mostly French-speaking but stands in the Flemish region. If you have a hire car in Belgium, you may not even notice these divisions though. You will notice, however, the differences between the flat coastal plain in the west, and the rolling Ardennes hills and woods to the east. The visitor highlights include the architecture of Brussels, Bruges and Ghent, while the battlefields of Waterloo and World War One are important historic sites.
The art nouveau facades and ornate Grande Place of Brussels are major attractions but they are rivalled by the prettiness of Bruges, a small intact medieval town built around canals. And if you have a hire car it's easy to drive between these main Belgian attractions. Don't miss the lesser-known historic cities too: Ghent has a fine Gothic Cathedral and castle between its canals, and Antwerp's Grand Place is one of the most picturesque in Europe. Elsewhere, the Flanders battlefields and site of the Battle of Waterloo are poignant places, while the valley of the Meuse River is an unexpected joy as it winds through lush wooded gorges and charming riverside towns.
Belgian traffic drives on the right and priority must always be given to vehicles approaching from the right. Trams and buses, however, always have priority in built-up areas. Seatbelts must be worn where fitted. The speed limit on motorways is 120kph (75mph) and, unless there's congestion, there's a minimum motorway speed limit too: 70kph (43mph). On other roads the maximum Belgian speed is 90kph (56mph). In residential areas the limit is normally only 20kph (12mph). Traffic police can issue on-the-spot fines to rule breakers, including those who fail to carry a reflective jacket and warning triangle.

Rainbow Dash – Ghetto Uprising
Making my mum a Brony 20'000 words at a time.
yeah the ponies again. Ah what the hay, let me just get it all off my chest to somepony. I think I have scared away my friend —– from talking to him about this. I will admit that I am just a little tiny itti bitty bit obsessed with the show. I've never enjoyed a show this much, since the closest comparison would be Stargate SG1. But even that I wasn't compelled to read fanfics about it and watch and make video mash ups for it. It's more about the online community and the awesome people I have met thanks to this show that make me love it so much. 60% of which are males over 16.
I enjoy the irony of the show's unexpected audience with a passion and it has made me no longer afraid to express my feminine side. I am straight, I would have no reason to lie to you about that.
Anyway since this show went viral it has suddenly become cool, to admit to having feelings. and words like adorable and cute and snuggly wuggly hugs are a regular part of the brony community. (don't know if I told you this yet, A brony is anyone outside of the expected demographic (Girls from 5-12) of the show that love it, male or female.) Like I said it's such a MANLY show.
Martin Luther King Jr. Pony
Happy 4th of July from RD

"So then" said rainbow dash "lets all dig in" and with that all the ponies started to eat. Pinkie at the candy, Applejack at the pies, Fluttershy at the cakes, rainbowdash at the ice cream, Twilight at the cupcakes, and Rarity at the muffins. They all ate for about one hour and stopped to take a break all they're bellies started to get big. "Hoo wee" said applejack "that's some mighty good cooking pinkie" "Thanks" said pinkie "wait why'd we stop lets keep eating. The ponies continued to eat and eat and eat and the more they ate the more bigger they bellies grew "gosh pinkie this is amazing" said rainbowdash patting her big blue belly "fanks" said pinkie who was still eating "uh pinkie" said Fluttershy "do you thinks its good to eat all this I mean we could get tummy aches" "don't worry I got a tummy of steel"

What never gets old? Bad answers in game shows.
The Chase had another one on Tuesday's (April 11) episode, when a contestant was asked a seemingly straightforward question.
"Which footballer inspired the media nickname of 'Beckingham Palace'?" host Bradley Walsh asked.
The answer is, of course, David Beckham. But whether the poor guy's mind went blank (which would be understandable), or maybe he hadn't heard of Becks before (which would be slightly more surprising), he struggled under the spotlight.
"Beckingham?" he answered.
Some viewers at home were shocked that the contestant got the question a tiny bit wrong.
Related: The Chase's Bradley Walsh scolds contestant for his silly decision
Earlier this week, Bradley Walsh explained that the reason why he may appear 'drunk' on The Chase is because of an eye condition he has.
"People don't realise I have seriously bad blepharitis," he said on This Morning. "I have to take [one pill] a day for it or I really struggle. I am going to need my eyes operated on at some point to sort it out.
"So many times, people have commented on [how I look]. But they don't realise. If I take [medication] though, I'm fine."

Hoverboards, power-lace Nikes and, now, DeLoreans. It's like "Back to the Future" is taking over the present, and it's practically a dream come true. (OK, so these hoverboards aren't exactly as the film advertised, and the Chicago Cubs sadly did not win the World Series like they were supposed to, but that's beside the point.)
The DeLorean Motor Company announced it will manufacture replicas of the 1982 car made famous in the "Back to the Future" saga, with the first car planned to be completed by early 2017, reports KPRC-TV in Houston. They haven't been built in 35 years.
A law passed in late 2015 opened up the door for DeLorean to produce cars that resemble those made more than 25 years ago while also meeting current EPA standards, according to a news release from the company. The law allows low-volume vehicle manufacturers (like DeLorean) to install engines and emissions equipment made by other automakers in order to meet those standards.
Rejoice! Environmentally friendly (pretend) time travel!
It won't be cheap, though. A refurbished (aka old) DeLorean goes for about $45,000 to $55,000, and a newly built one could be much more, depending on the engine installed, KPRC-TV reports. DeLorean CEO Stephen Wynne told the news outlet he hoped to sell them for less than $100,000, and right now, he has the supplies to build about 300 of one the world's most-loved time machines.
Wynne said the idea is to keep the old DeLorean's appearance, but the new ones may not be exact replicas (beyond the engines). "There's no reason to change the appearance of the car. As we go into the program, we'll decide what areas need to be freshened up," Wynne told KPRC-TV.
So, "Back to the Future" fans and car enthusiasts, start saving up. You may not need roads with the DeLorean, but you need a lot of money to get one. You also may want to improve your credit, since good credit scores generally entitle you to the best rates on auto loans and other financing.

We would like to offer a quick tip to those members who submit custom music tracks for HitLicense advertising opportunities.
It is important to have a finished track that doesn't sound too close to the music example provided. Often a music licensing client will avoid a track if they feel it is too closely based on an existing copyright, especially when that copyright was used as a reference. Ad Agencies that represent corporate brands do not want to introduce any legal risk to their clients or risk having to change music mid-promotion.
A tip when composing for an advertising opportunity is to use the music examples as a general guide for things like instrumentation, tempo and the general emotion and feeling that the example elicits but, unless specifically requested, the music licensing client is not looking for an exact sound-alike.
If you have any questions please email us at email@example.com
I just don't understand why a lot of times the client won't say what company the commercial is for like they will just say in the ad car commercial for major brand.Why not say Chevy,ford,dodge etc so we can make the song even more personal.

From robust seed to vulnerable seedling; germination is risky business
The process of germination represents a very risky step in the lifecycle of a plant.
The majority of seed-bearing plants disperse seeds that are desiccation tolerant which means they can withstand drying and remain viable in the soil for months or even years.
In contrast, most seedlings are highly vulnerable. At the seedling stage most of the plant's features are poorly established; the roots are small, scant and have limited access to water, the leaves are small limiting their ability to capture light, protective structures / compounds are often missing or minimal and the process of seedling growth limits the plant's resources.
Considering this move from robust seed to vulnerable seedling, it is not surprising that many plants try to ensure that seed germination takes place at just the right moment, in just the right place. Hilhorst1 summarised this idea in his definition of dormancy as,
…a device for optimizing the distribution of germination over time and place.
Dormancy allows seeds to postpone germination
Better supported is the suggestion that dormancy enables seeds to survive short periods of favourable conditions; when germination stimulating factors are present, but prevailing conditions are not suitable for subsequent seedling growth and plant development34. In other words, the seeds have evolved to postpone germination until a time and place that not only supports germination, but also maximises seedling establishment and growth.
For example, seeds in Queensland postpone germination until after summer
In south-west Queensland, Asteraceae and Goodeniaceae seeds dispersed in spring were found to possess dormancy mechanisms that prevented immediate germination despite favourable pre-summer temperatures. Instead cooler autumn temperatures initiated germination only after dormancy had been alleviated over summer. Postponing germination until after summer presumably allows seedling establishment, growth and reproduction to take place during the cooler winter months instead5.
Soil seed banks; seeds ready and waiting
While seeds lie dormant in the soil, dormancy not only prevents premature seedling emergence, but also promotes the formation of a 'soil seed bank', a reserve of seeds in the soil which provides in situ conservation of the plant's genetic variability6.
Figure 3 gives a representation of how dormancy status of soil seed banks is understood to increase and decrease throughout the year in warm, temperate regions within Australia7. Changes in dormancy status are caused primarily by changes in temperature and seed moisture content. If non-dormant seeds do not experience appropriate germination conditions, dormancy will be re-induced; a phenomenon known as 'dormancy cycling' that may continue over several years until seeds germinate or lose viability.
Figure 3 also depicts at what time of year seeds experience the effects of dry after-ripening and stratification in situ in Australia's warm, temperate regions. Please click on the links to understand more about how these treatments affect seed dormancy.
Dormancy is a challenge for those wanting to conserve seeds
It can be argued that there is little point conserving seeds unless we know how to germinate them. Dormancy is a complex seed trait present throughout the higher plants of all the world's major climatic regions. The challenge for seed banks is to uncover the environmental cues that tell a seed it's the right time and place to germinate.

"Thousands of fresh but experienced forces have been dispatched to the Southern part of Aleppo province and thousands more will also be sent the battlefield to support the operating forces," the army said.
"The Syrian and Russian warplane have been heavily bombing the terrorists' newly-captured positions in Khan Touman region in the past hours and now the ground is paved for a final operation to push the militants back from the region," the army added.
"A large number of popular forces will also accompany the army men in the operation," the army underlined.
Reports said earlier today that the Syrian and Russian fighter jets, in a fresh round of large-scale joint combat operations, bombed heavily the terrorist groups' concentration centers in the Southern parts of Aleppo province to lay the ground for the imminent operation of the government forces in Khan Touman region.
Almost the entire positions of the terrorist groups of al-Nusra Front, Jund al-Alqsa and Ahrar al-Sham inside and outside of Khan Touman were massively bombed by a large number of the Syrian and Russian warplanes.
The airstrikes inflicted major damage on the terrorists' military and logistic vehicle.
Tens of the terrorists were also killed in the air attacks.
The air attacks have also destroyed supply and commination lines of the terrorist groups in the region, which have pave the way for the pro-government forces to carry out a large-scale operation there to return security to Khan Touman and its surroundings as soon as possible.
The Al-Nusra and units of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) claim to have taken back Khan Touman, but government forces say they are still in charge of key centers and blocks in the town.
The Syrian army alongside the National Defense Forces and Hezbollah fighters regained full control over the town of Khan Touman in December. Ever since then the city has fallen back to the terrorists twice, with the second time being this weekend.
Following an unsuccessful truce that was repeatedly violated by the terrorist groups, the Al-Nusra Front - the Syria arm of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group - could relocate some 20,000 terrorists to Northern Aleppo via Turkey's soil to launch a large-scale attack on pro-government positions in several key cities in Aleppo province, including Khan Touman in the Southwest.

There was something blasphemous about it. It was the combination of the words, 'the Israelites', and the urge to dance. My sister had told me that there was a nun in her school who they called Desmond Dekker because of the shape of her mouth. So, nun + Israelites= religion. Religion was for learning off by heart; it was supposed to terrify and bore you. You weren't supposed to dance to religion. It was definitely a sin and probably a mortal one. Millions of years in the fires of Purgatory, with no water or sandwiches, but I couldn't help it. Desmond Dekker and The Aces played what I found out years later was ska and I couldn't play it on the record player without jumping around the place and shouting along. There was no context. (I was ten.) I didn't know Desmond was Jamaican, I didn't know it was a song about poverty and slavery and injustice and crime and struggle and exhilaration. It wasn't the start of a passion or an education. The song didn't move me at first, but it made me move. Frantically. A bit like the character that Desmond Dekker sang about, when I finally began to listen to the words. The lines were cracked – bits of half-finished sentences, sliced by a strange guitar. And a jumpy beat that made swaying impossible. This was up-and-down music. It rattled everything I'd heard. It still does.

The Power of the Sketch
I want to share with you an article wrote by Lisa Randall, a freelance writer, on the topic about Art Therapy, after seeing my artwork.
The Power of the Sketch
What is Art Therapy?
An extremely powerful yet underrated tool in the treatment and management of issues of all kinds, 'Art Therapy' is an ever-relevant part of modern psychology world-over. Referring to and encapsulating just about each and every area of the field, from oil work to inks and water colours, the primary intention of art therapy is to alleviate the constraints and negative effects imposed upon an individual by various mental health issues through the expressive medium of creating art.
Fusing together the wider human creative process with various psychotherapeutic techniques, the methods prevalent within art therapy are like any other designed to treat psychological patients, in that they seek an overall improvement in health and well-being. As an outlet for so many people all over the world, creating art is believed to be a legitimate method of both internal and external conflict resolution, widely as a result of its ability to empower an individual through self-expression. Noticeable positives of such empowerment are in turn said to include the development of interpersonal skills, stress reduction, a huge increase in overall self-esteem, better behavioural management capabilities and a greater sense of self awareness and worth.
Though art has undoubtedly been used off the books in this sense for thousands of years, its uses as an authentic form of psychological treatment within mainstream society date back only to midway through the 20th century. With the observation that many psychiatric patients would take refuge in the creative process whilst undergoing various other treatments, doctors began experimenting with art as a more direct and official method of treatment.
Its Uses
As its own bona-fide area of modern psychology, art therapy is used in the treatment of all manner of conditions, both on its own and in unification with other popular therapy techniques, some of which that also focus on the power of sketching and some of which that don't . Currently, the most common situations in which this form of therapy may be employed include the treatment of adults under immense levels of stress, children with learning disabilities or who are suffering from social/behavioural problems, treatment of those who have witnessed a particularly traumatic event and the recovery of individuals who have suffered a brain injury. While these remain the most notable cases in which therapy of this kind is utilised, the scope and application of art therapy is broadening at all times - with breakthroughs in the theory surrounding it accompanying evidenced practical progress derived from an overall increased focus on the method.
On the surface most could draw some kind of understanding to how therapy of this kind may or may not work- and the truth is that most would be completely right. With an aptitude to benefit patients of all backgrounds, conditions and ages - artistic therapy places a large percentage of its allotted emphasis on allowing patients to express their inner feelings in a way no other medium is able to allow. Whether a patient is a victim of depression, physical or emotional trauma, the correct and healthy channelling of their issues via a gratifying and individual medium such as art can be unmatchable in its abilities to provide all-important self-sourced support.
Whilst there is far more to becoming an art therapist than a simple talent for sketching (no matter how impressive), this is a good basis for future employment in the field. With already licensed psychologists now able to apply for credentials in the field through their respective governing bodies (The British Association of Art Therapists, The Art Therapy Credentials Board (US)), the area is continuing to grow strongly - prompting the need for fresh minds and perspectives within this exciting area of modern psychology.
It's Future
Though psychology itself could, at least comparatively speaking, be considered to be a very young professional field, art therapy is one of the youngest within psychology. Just as any professional area of theory/practical study must be granted time to grow in prominence and contribution to its wider field, therapy of this kind is no different.
Having already yielded some extremely positive results in the last few decades, the emphasis of art therapy must surely now be centred on the distinction between the various methods which are starting to reveal themselves as individually applicable and in which circumstances they may be best applied.

Official Rift Review
It's time for me to "Officially" review a game, and the first one I have chosen to review is Rift, By Trion Worlds.
Rift was first released as a pay to play game, and has adapted the free to play model. No Tricks, No Trials, No Traps. I believe the stick to that, the free to play model does not limit game play, areas, zones, pvp, etc. Some may call it truly free to play, and some say it's one of the best free to play models out there right now. I tend to agree with that. It is a wonderful free to play game. Top tier, if there is a tier of Free to play games, Rift is defiantly up there! But is everything about Rift good? You are about to get some insight of Rift, the good, the great, and the terrible. This review is going to be brutally honest, and hold nothing back. That's not how I do it here. So, I have laid out the first thing about Rift for you. It is truly free to play. So, nothing to lose right with playing it! There is always an upside to that.
Graphics: I ran Rift on the maximum settings, and the game looks great. Is it the best out here? No, but it does look really good, and somewhat detailed. I thought the look of the game, and the world around it, was really pretty. Though the one thing the game does lack in graphics, is optimization. The game itself is poorly optimized. I would lag for no reason, and the animations would as well. It mostly during big Rifts, or something like that. I wish Trion would optimize it, it would run a lot smoother for other people, and many, many people have complained about this issue as well. If you can get past that, the game looks great. I think some of the Animations are really stellar. I don't think it will make your jaw drop, but it will impress you nonetheless. It's not the flashiest, or the best, but it has some eye candy moments, hell every game does I think.
Game Play: This is where I am sort of hit or miss with the game. A lot people, and when I say a lot, I mean most of the people who talk, or play Rift, will call it a "WoW" Clone. I'm going to totally avoid saying that, but the game doesn't add anything new to the Genre. I mean, I have fun playing the game, doing quests, doing crafting, etc. Typical MMO stuff. The game doesn't add anything new, but what it does have, it does pretty well. They do have the "Rift" system, which is pretty fun. Random events, and you get some sweet stuff to go along with it. Though, that can get very boring after awhile. But that is what happens with most games, you do the same thing over again, and it gets boring. It's bound to happen. To that effect though, like I said, what it has, it does well. The classes are really fun, and unique. A healing Rogue? I'll take it. I would like to say this, with all the classes, and souls are available. There is a lot of fun things you can do within the game, class wise. I think this is one of the game's strong points. It's many classes. 3 races per faction, and there is only two factions. A lot of people are used to a lot more races being available. So I would like to see the game add a new race. Trion does continue to add new classes/ souls. Along with new crafting classes.
Storm Legion, added a really cool feature to the game. Dimensions. It's basically player owned part of the game. You build, and add what you want to it. Think of it as housing sort of. I have dabbled a little into this, and I found it fun. It can be very annoying to get into, and the quests involving it really bored me, but I guess in the end, the reward of what you can do is really cool. Housing was never really big with me, but I did dabble into it, and it was worth mentioning in the Review, because it is a cool feature.
To add to the classes, I like how you can change the souls on the fly. Even the website mentions that. Six Races, and 36 souls. So you can see how many things you can do with that. The game does have a good Holy Trinity i'd like to believe. For a free to play game, the game offers a ton of stuff to do.
Social: This is where Rift really doesn't shine for me. The community in this game, is extremely toxic. A new forum policy was even put in place by Trion, because it go so toxic. Inside the game, it can be hit or miss, but most of the time in chat, in the server I played on, level 1-29 chat was spammed with curse words, making fun of people, and racism. Now, you get this in every game, free to play or sub, but the amount I saw in this game, was astounding. The ignore feature was used a lot in this game. Though, find a good guild, and make some friends, and that sort of goes away. With a general chat spammed like that, and the amount of people that talked like that, was just so off putting. It kinda sickened me the way people talked. I mean, they were making fun of people with Down Syndrome. I mean, seriously? Like I said, ignore feature was used to the max. Sadly. At least on my server. It was also a PvP server, I don't know if you want to delve into that, because of the type of server it was, but it was bad. The server I played on was Seastone.
PvP: Another bad thing I found about Rift. The pvp was unbalanced, and bland to say the least. I found myself just wanting to leave in the middle of the matches, and just go do something different. I like PvP, I was huge into it in other games, but Rift's pvp, was just to say the least bad. After my first few sessions with it, i just dropped it completely, and didn't touch it again. My opinion. Some people I talked in the game, really spoke highly of it, and enjoyed it. But, I didn't. I played multiple classes in PvP, and just didn't click with me, I wasn't bad at it, I just felt like it was highly imbalanced. So, PvP wasn't a thing for me in this game. Now, why did I play on a PvP Server? Who doesn't like excitement right? I did the same thing in World Of Warcraft... I mean, who doesn't like getting ganked, and then returning the favor later in the game? Am I right here?
PvE: I guess this could go along with Game Play, but I think this is where the game truly shines. I had a blast in the PvE Aspect of the game. Raids, Dungeons, Rifts, and overall questing. Yes, it does have quest hubs, and go here, kill X things, and return to me. Like I said, it doesn't add really anything new to the Genre, but I found myself questing for a few hours, and the time went by, and I didn't really get bored, thank the lord for that. I get bored easily, people know this. I mean, yes, I did get burnt out after awhile, but who wouldn't. I didn't want to treat the whole game as a Hardcore experience. I casually played the game, into late game, and enjoyed the journey. Though the story line is poorly done, it makes up for it in other aspects. Rifts was fun, but can be boring after just following them for awhile. The game has a lot to enjoy, a lot of zones, and dungeons. Typical "Themepark" MMO stuff you could say. I would like to add that Instant Adventures made the game a lot more fun for me to be honest.
One of my favorite Raids the game had to offer was the 20 man, Infernal Dawn. Just because I had some awesome fun with it. I suggest looking up a YouTube video on it, to see what I mean! I did it as all three roles. I think the most fun I had with it though was DPS, I don't know why. Usually I don't like end-game dps, but hell I had fun with it.
I would like to think Rift has some sustain. It has held me long enough to play through the "End Game", and so on. It's far from the perfect game indeed, but it's lasted this long with me, and I continue to play it. Now with every game comes the boredom factor. I think rift does an excellent job defeating that factor, with all the classes/souls you can play. In my book that adds a lot of value, and does a lot for the game's sustain. With all the stuff you can do with classes, and the fact the game has a holy trinity, you can do a lot with that. Sure, it's the same old thing, Healer, DPS, Tank, but I mean rogue healing, that's kinda cool right? I know I keep going back to that, but I think that's just a neat thing. You know? There is defiantly some things I would love to change with Rift's PvP, and PvE. I mean, I think everyone would, in any game.
Will Rift last the next couple of years, and with all the new MMOs releasing? I think it can, and i'll tell you why. Well, first thing is The game is truly free to play. I think that will make the game last as long as it's profitable even past then, with all the updates Trion has done over the past, they do have the intention of keeping it running. I believe if they keep coming out with great updates, and even down the road an Expasion like Storm Legion, the game could last a lot more than I think. It is defiantly one of the best free to play games on the market in terms of content, and things like that. Trion does have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to keep it up to par with the latest and greatest so to speak. I think the best thing Trion could do to this game, is add more classes, races, etc. I.E with an Expansion of some sort.
Playing a lot of subscription, and free to play games, with Rift keeping my attention for a long time, it is indeed a fun game. The best MMO on the market? No, I don't think there is one. It is one really fun game though, and I will continue to play it. My list of playable MMOs is a short and sweet one, and I am happy to be able to add Rift to that list. I still play it, and I still level some alts, while doing some end-game content with my mains.
I really don't know how to end this review, but I guess I can do it with a grading score. I would defiantly give Rift a 7.5/10. If the community wasn't so bad, it would be higher. If you have any questions about my review, or wanna discuss it, leave a comment below, or tweet at me, @SirIsaacJewton. Cheers!

The varsity eight is pictured against Brown April 13 (photo Harvard Athletic Communications).
Harvard won two of the four races at the regatta, as the Crimson's freshman also pulled off a victory, under conditions that featured a strong variable headwind and chop.
Princeton won the opener with its fourth varsity rowing past Harvard's third varsity. The Tigers were across the line in 6:35.3, ahead of Harvard at 6:44.0. Next were Harvard's freshman, which rowed the fastest time of the day outside of the teams' top two varsity boats. The Crimson newcomers were clocked at 6:26.4, while Princeton's third varsity recorded a 6:31.2.
Harvard's second varsity lost for the first time this season as Princeton's second varsity topped the Crimson for just the third time in the last 12 years. The Tigers won by a length at 6:13.2, compared to Harvard's 6:16.5.
In the final race of the day, the Crimson took the marquee matchup. Harvard's varsity, which is ranked No. 2 in the country, was challenged by the fifth-ranked Tigers, but ultimately held off Princeton. Harvard edged the Tigers by 3.4 seconds with a one-length lead at the finish line.
Harvard will be looking for its 50th Adams Cup victory next weekend when Penn (14 Adams Cups) and Navy (13 Adams Cups) visit the Charles River. Video of the racing will be streamed live for free on GoCrimson.com.

This is only one story about the pictures of sick children being misused on Facebook.
A Special Appeal to Facebook Users - Unauthorised Use of Baby Zoe Chambers Photograph
One version of a hoax message that is currently circulating rapidly on Facebook features a photograph (right) of baby Zoe Chambers and her mother Julie. The caption on the circulating photograph claims that baby Zoe will receive a free heart transplant if the picture receives 1000 Facebook shares. However, this caption is a blatant lie. Zoe suffered from CHD (congenital heart disorder) and received a heart transplant operation in 2007. Sadly in July 2008 she passed away. Zoe's mother Julie is extremely upset by this cruel and totally unauthorised use of Zoe's picture.They are asking to please help spread the word.Details of Mr Thoms, his scam and the nefarious use of the picture, have been passed to the police. I have also reported him to the web hosting company of the three domains registered to him and am still awaiting updates.
The continued circulation of Zoe's photograph as part of this absurd hoax is causing great distress to Zoe's mother Julie. If you see this photo in use anywhere on Facebook, apart from among the profile pictures of Julie Chambers, please report it.
Garen Thoms runs the following three websites, each of which have a message stating one should "Like" the page or wait a random number of seconds before seeing the content - which in one case is nothing more than a default template.
You're About To Learn Secrets That Most Network Marketers
Home - Free Credit Guy
Make Money Online With The Free Credit Guy
A whois lookup on each of those domains reveals the following details:
Thoms, Garen
Shaw Park Lime Bottom
Ocho Rios P.O Box 840, ST Ann 99999
Interestingly - his scam page offering "free digicel credit" (Digicel being a cell phone provider in Jamaica) has resurfaced with a new name and he is claiming he had to take it down and remove the name "digicel" but a more probable reason why is the mass reporting of the site by people in support of Julie.
One of the newspaper articles where the photo was stolen from:
Heart transplant for British toddler who suffered six heart attacks
Newspaper articles reporting on Zoe's passing:
Heart transplant child Zoe Chambers has died
Transplant girl who had six heart attacks before she was 18 months old loses battle for life

[ugh I know writing this will feel good, it will stretch out my voice muscles, get me all warmed up again, but I've just spent the last few hours reading other peoples blogs. I don't know if this happens to everyone, but when I read a certain kind of voice, Victorian, Australian, any kind of unique accent or writing style, all my thoughts take on that voice. So now I'm trying to write my blog with like 50 different mom voices floating in my head-it's pissing me off-disclaimer]
As I was saying, things were getting pretty ugly there for a bit. Actually the beach thing was only the eye of the storm, a relative calm before more energetic chaos in the house. No matter what I tried to do, I couldn't seem to hit the right note to end the nasty, putrid, thoughts whirling in my head and heart. I couldn't help whining, demanding; taking everything the wrong way and feeling like it was them against me. Ooff, I shudder at the memory of how ampt up I felt, how tired and tiresome.
The Little One showed me no mercy. Yes, I have confessed, for the most part, it was I who had hit an emotional whirlpool, but I still cooked, cleaned and played housewife, and she would sit staring off into space-going completely mute the minute Mukaka was not in the room-like I just didn't exist. And all I could remember is how many times I pulled the same shit with my mother; I distinctly remember the purposefulness of it, the cold, empowered feeling of knowing how much I could hurt her just by voiding her existence. She was getting off on watching my nerves get all the more raw-but only when she knew I wasn't looking.
So Thursday evening I sit in my room and contemplate walking away. It was a breaking point. I had done what I said I would come to do; the transition was over and now it was as if my role had played itself out...
Vannesa is one of the most adept survivors I have ever known. My mother had to leave the city for the weekend, and just like that Vannesa was suddenly in love with me again, knowing very well she had no one else to interact with. I didn't know what was more astounding, how ruthless she was in her cruelty, or how endearing she was in her need. But whatever the rhetorical conclusion, this did not stop my hurt from soaking up that affection and need, a slave on my raw nerves. So we went swimming and she clung to me like a brand new baby, even though the pool was full of her age mates. I took a chance and told her that I liked her so much better when she wasn't being mean to me like when Mukaka was around, she was so quick to agree-even though I'd known her behavior had been somehow conscious-I was still surprised how readily she understood exactly what I was talking about. And she vowed to stop.
That night we sat down to dinner, just the two of us, and I don't know how it all came up. It was all very casual, like she mentioned my sister having volunteered to adopt her, so I ask her, I says, "well, what if I told you that I wanted to be your mother?" It's weird to even bring all this up, since I'm in such a crabby mood and all, and since I have never been more desperate to get away from her as I am today...haha. Well, but that's the point, that's how I know it's real. Anyway she was so quick to agree, but with the disclaimer that we would all have to have a family meeting with Jaja, and Mukaka, and my sister, and everyone to make the announcement (where does she learn to be so formal and proper?!?) And I let her know that she could take her time before calling me mother-ugh-weiiirrrd.
Like I said, I hadn't expected this conversation to happen for a few months at least, though it's helped that my mother has already known and she thought the sooner the announcement the better. The next morning, the last two days, in fact, of unabridged, uninterrupted bonding time has been overwhelming to say the least. She sits across for me with the exact same intensity as when she ignored me, but she now watches my every move-my EVERY breath, her big eyes pouring "need" into me and soaking up all the thoughts and wants and desires I used to have as my own, my. very. own. MINE.
I wish this post flowed better, but I gotta just get it out, editing be damned. The thing is, this is all double sided. I mean...I was already freaking out when all this happened, remember? Like there's other shit that's being taken into consideration-for one, I have not had a single conversation with someone my age in I don't know how long, 28 days, that's how long. And I've never had a conversation with someone going through anything like this. So it's like I'm starving, yeah, and then all this with Vannesa was like a thirst on top of the hunger. So now I'm quenched, well at least for now, but other needs, other fears are still gnawing in my gut. And then there is this little girl with her big, big eyes, demanding ME to fulfill HER?!? I've seen other mothers get that look on their faces (did I just say "other"??) that quiet panic. And you always think, c'mon what's the big idea? babies are soooo cute. Yes they are. And so is the Little One; she is absolutely gorgeous; It is just kinda crazy to go from zero to sixty with no seat belt on. And it doesn't help that my baby is too old for naps, cannot be comforted by nursing, and is not yet in school (urgggh) and-continuing the analogy-just became MINE point two seconds ago.
Maybe all this is obvious to anyone reading this, but honestly the fact that I would yearn for parenting help did NOT occur to me. Ha! Seriously, the only people I know who have kids have them by default and as a matter of fact. I've never known anyone to have to "date" their child; to go through the very same ups and downs that happen when embarking on any other new and serious relationship. And anyone who does know me knows, I don't know shit about relationships. My point is there must be a method to this madness, no? There must be a way to navigate through my own life's turmoil while still managing the Little One's passing storms with minimal damage to us both. OMG, I sound typically naive don't I? Like a 400 lbs person saying their New Year's Resolution is to lose weight. No really, best of luck, but REALLY. By "typically naive" I mean, typical for me: the grandest adventures always strike me as no-brainers; it's the everyday that fills me with panic. So what to do? Does anyone want to judge me for taking hold of this little girl's life when I don't have a very good grasp on my own? Would it have been any better if I'd gotten knocked up by some Indian dude cheating with me on his German girlfriend? (wonder who would have the prettier baby, but I digress)
Are we only supposed to be courageous when the risks are pre-designed? Did I just stumble into this life or did I create it? Would I change it if I could? The other day, at the beach, as the sun set on yet another of our bachelorette weekend outings, my mother said, "ughhh, I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow!", and I replied, "I wish I had a job. We can't always get what we want when we want it."
I was thirsty and now she loves me, and it's awkward and it's good. Can I be happy with what I have even though this isn't what I had in mind, when I asked for it?
...Can you?

JBoss Http is a very custom environment and your system may differ. Below are generalized instructions. If you have a custom installation, you will need to adjust these instructions appropriately.
Like the majority of server systems you will install your SSL certificate on the same server where your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) was created. Your private key will always be left on the server system where the CSR was originally created. Your SSL certificate will not work without this private key file. We will assume that this is the original system.
To install your SSL certificate On JBoss Http perform the following.
Step 1: Downloading your SSL Certificate & its Intermediate CA certificate:
- If you had the option of server type during enrollment and selected Other you will receive a x509/.cer/.crt/.pem version of your certificate within the email. Alternately you can access your Certificate User Portal by the supplied link in the email to pick up the x509 version of your certificate.
- Copy the SSL certificate and make sure to copy the —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—– and —–END CERTIFICATE—– header and footer Ensure there are no white spaces, extra line breaks or additional characters.
- Use a plain text editor such as Notepad, paste the content of the certificate and save it with extension .crt
- If your intermediate CA certificate for your product is not in the body of the email you can access your Intermediate CA also in a link within that email. Copy and paste the contents of your Intermediate CA into its own Notepad file and save it with a .crt extension also.
Note: Some CA's may give you an Apache Bundle or CA Intermediate Bundle. This will consist of two intermediates stacked on top of each other. These two intermediates are to be in one file.
Step 2: Installing your SSL certificate:
Note: JBoss Http uses a configuration file in order to manage its SSL certificate configurations, finding this httpd.conf or ssl.conf will enable you to configure you system properly.
- Referencing the Httpd.conf or ssl.conf file look for the location and directories of the three files necessary.
Note: Below is an general example of the names and locations of these files, your environment may differ.
- SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/public.crt
- SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/ssl/private/private.key
- SSLCertificateChainFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/intermediate.crt
- SSLCertificateFile tells Apache how to find the the SSL certificate file.
- SSLCertificateKeyFile tells Apache how to find the private key file.
- SSLCertificateChainFile or SSLCACertificateFile tells Apache the location of the Intermediate file
- You will move your certificate files to these locations and change your httpd.conf file to reflect those file names.
- If you are using a different location and certificate file names than the example above (which most likely you are) you will need to change the path or file names to reflect your server.
Note: Some instances of Apache contain both have a httpd.conf and ssl.conf file. Please enter or amend the httpd.conf or the ssl.conf with the above directives. Do not enter both as there will be a conflict and Apache may not start.
- Save your httpd.conf file and restart Apache.
You can most likely do so by using the apachectl script:apachectl stop
apachectl startssl
Your SSL certificate is now installed and configured for its website.
If you are unable to use these instructions for your server, Acmetek recommends that you contact either the vendor of your software or an organization that supports Apache.

At the round earth's imagin'd corners, blow
Your trumpets, Angels, and arise, arise
From death, you numberless infinities
Of souls, and to your scatter'd bodies go—
All whom the flood did and fire shall o'erthrow,
All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies,
Despair, law, chance hath slain, and you whose eyes,
Shall behold God, and never taste death's woe.
But let them sleep, Lord, and me mourn a space,
For if, above all these, my sins abound,
'Tis late to ask abundance of thy grace
When we are there; here on this lowly ground,
Teach me how to repent; for that's as good
As if thou hadst seal'd my pardon with thy blood.
Being a Christ follower requires repentance. The word means "turning away" and indeed, following Jesus means turning away from sin. His teaching singularly called his listeners back from the rebelliousness of sin to a heart of obedience. His lessons were not only motivational; they were commandments. He said that love for Him would be demonstrated by obedience (John 14:15) and He likewise told His apostles to "teach them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matt 28:20).
In the parable of The Prodigal Son found in Luke's gospel, the Bible says the young man returned to his father when "he came to himself" (Luke 15:17). We have all experienced the regret of sinful choices, but sometimes it's just the regret of getting caught or being in bad circumstances. When the regret is one that calls our heart to long for God and His forgiveness, we are finally ready to go home.
Hebrews 3:7–19
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.' So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.' " Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Art: Return of the Prodigal Son, by Rembrandt van Rijn, Holland, Circa 1668
Literature: HOLY SONNET VII by John Donne. The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of John Donne. Edited by C. M. Coffin. New York: Modern Library, 1952.
Donne calls on angelic trumpets to summon all of humanity, living and dead, for judgment. But then he reverses himself and says, "Wait! I need time for repentance." At the end, he suggests, with a touch of irony, that he needs not only the divine gift of God's own life but also the grace of a repentant heart to reassure him that God truly intends his good.

I hear that "Hello Kitty" puts out a charming line of pastel
t-shirts with the delightful little anthropomorphized kitten on
it. Perhaps we could put in a custom order of little "hello kitties"
in gi and hakama. I see "collector's item" here. How could Ivan
Hey, now. You're dissing one of our cultural offerings! Yes, the same
culture that brought about aikido also offers you Hello Kitty, Godzilla,
and Tamagotchi.
Hmm... Maybe a line of Tamagotchi products called Aikidotchi might sell,
don't you think? The fledgling aikidoka starts out in a bright white,
starched crisp gi with his/her belt sticking out at weird angles. You use
the "throw," "encourage," and "chastise" buttons to help your fledgling
Aikidotchi work with other virtual aikidotchi, develop ukemi skills,
attain self confidence, and learn the ways of budo. A separate adapter
for hooking up your Aikidotchi to your friends' Aikidotchi is sold
You have to watch out as an Aikidotchi owner, though. If you throw your
Aikidotchi too hard and fast, your Aikidotchi starts to wear more and more
neoprene braces and sports tape on their wrist. Strangely enough, too
little throws gets you to the same thing in the long run.
If you encourage your Aikidotchi too much, they'll start trying to throw
people without touching them. If you encourage too little, they'll start
feeling blase about practice and will just "go through the motions."
If you push the chastise button too many times, they'll just shrink into a
corner, a whimpering mass of flesh and gi. Chastise too little and they
start developing a really big head (neat graphics!) and they'll start
telling _you_ how to run your own aikido practice.
With certain combinations of the above, you may get the "Ikken
Hissatsu"-dotchi who starts to apply killer atemi and sometimes kills
their enemy/partners in shihonage. A variation of this "Ikken
Hissatsu"-dotchi wears his hair in a pony tail and begins to read
screenplays. He may even become a llama (no typo), which I think may be
some weird, inside reference to Jeff Minter.
Some people end up with the "Fruity"-dotchi. Little heart shaped graphics
waft from your "Fruity"-dotchi character, enveloping his/her partners with
love energy. This Aikidotchi is not to be confused with the
"Tantric"-dotchi, details of whom I will not discuss in this family
channel. Also, there's one variation of the "Fruity"-dotchi called the
"Stinky"-gotchi which emanates icky smells rather than love energy.
If you're diligent, in about forty game years or so (if your battery
doesn't run out beforehand), you might -- just might -- get yourself a
"Shihan"-dotchi. Some people say that only Aikidotchi that were made
in Japan (rather than manufactured in the United States) can become
"Shihan"-dotchi, but reports differ on this detail. With the
"Shihan"-dotchi, you can actually start making _money_ by charging
other Aikidotchi to hook up to your "Shihan"-dotchi in little
Aikidotchi-seminars. You get money, the other Aikidotchi get to share
in your wisdom. But watch out -- if you try this too early, you'll
become what's known as a "Fifth kyu Shihan"-dotchi, and there's no
cure for that but a lot of ukemi.
There's also some sort of "Aikido-L"-dotchi. All these little Aikidotchi
only want to hook up to the Internet (special modem and/or 10baseT
connectors, sold separately) to talk to other "Aikido-L"-dotchi. It
starts to stay online for hours and hours on end, exchanging e-mail,
flames, and witty puns for no apparent reason. If you get one of these,
there's nothing you can really do except maybe just unplug their

Beyond Powder in OMG (oyster) and Epic (bronze), £32
In fairness, there has been a silly amount of hype around these highlighters but it is completely justified. These illuminators are just incredible. Very sheer and light in texture, these create an unparalleled highlight and work well along cheekbones or even all over the skin when applied gently.
Vital Palette, £34
A very different palette to anything Illamasqua have released before, this one is going to be really useful for make-up artists because it features four simple matte shades that will go with everything. The browns and grey are perfect for adding shape and structure to the eye (think through the socket and to deepen the lash lines) and the soft peach will double as a great colour corrector. At £34 for just four shades the price is steep, but it's definitely a palette that you'll use for every day.
Brow Build (in four shades), £18.50 each
One of the best things Illamasqua have released in years, I am obsessed with the brow build. I love the current trend for brows to look untouched, natural and fluffy, and this helps you to achieve that look. This tinted gel is infused with little fibres (think of those mascara fibres you sometimes get to add volume to the lashes). This in turn sculpts, tints and makes your brows look thicker, all the while looking like you haven't actually applied any product. It's truly brilliant and I would recommend everyone to find their shade and try this.
Masquara Gain, £20
If you love a big wand when applying your mascara you'll love this. A huge, round brush, this formula adds intense volume to the lashes and also gradually tints them over time. I do love it and the wand is especially great, however you'll need to ensure that you wear a primer as this will transfer otherwise.
A super simple and wearable collection, this is different for Illamasqua but I really like it.

Leaked Documents: Soros Group Spent $600K To Mainstream Pro-Refugee Attitudes
Jordi Vaquer, OSF's regional director for Europe, approved a $600,000 proposal entitled, "Countering the anti-migrant rhetoric and toxic narratives surrounding migration in Europe."
According to OSF documents, half of the $600,000 would go towards lobbying efforts. All $600,000 came from OSF's "Europe Reserve Fund."
A summary of the proposal notes that "the proposed reserve fund allocation will allow for additional resources to be allocated towards countering xenophobic attitudes in Europe, move parts of the political mainstream towards more pro-refugee positions, and build constituencies around a more progressive approach to migration and asylum."
A section of the proposal titled "Unforeseen need" explains that the money is needed because of the loss of sympathy for refugees in due in part to the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris. (RELATED: Leaked Soros Memo: Refugee Crisis 'New Normal,' Gives 'New Opportunities' For Global Influence.)
"The debate around migration in Europe has become increasingly anti-migrant both at the political and public level. In 2015, the high number of refugee arrivals and the terrorist attacks in Paris in November, have eroded much of the sympathy towards refugees that was present earlier that year."
The proposal notes, "While Germany started in mid-2015 with a widespread welcoming attitude towards refugees, by now general sentiment leans towards closure of borders." The proposal claims that "Sweden, the other traditional stronghold of solidarity towards refugees, is facing similar challenges." (RELATED: Swedish Police Tell Women Not To Go Out Alone Due To Migrant Violence)
As originally reported by The Daily Caller, a leaked OSF memo from May 2016 argues that Europe's refugee crisis should be accepted as a "new normal," and that the refugee crisis means "new opportunities" for Soros's organization to influence immigration policies on a global scale.
That memo made three key points: OSF — the nation's least transparent think tank — has been successful at influencing global immigration policy; Europe's refugee crisis presents "new opportunities" for the organization to influence global immigration policy; and the refugee crisis is the "new normal."
Another leaked memo reveals that OSF is anticipating an increase in "migration pressures in the coming decades" due in part to "globalization."
The OSF documents were released by "hacktivist" group DCLeaks, which publishes documents from powerful political figures around the world.

Maria Valentina Gonzalez Demori was awarded a Masters scholarship to study Community Psychology at the University of Brighton. Maria is originally from Venezuela and found out about the programme through the School of Applied Social Sciences at the University of Brighton.
Maria says: "The experience has been amazing. One of the things that I like the most is the group of people in my class is very culturally diverse, as people have different backgrounds and this makes the experience of my Masters far more interesting. The classes and the assignments are also very challenging, but I find this positive.
Eventually I would like to work in a NGO related to education for children and that provides help to vulnerable families.
And I hope that in a near future I can go back to Venezuela to apply there what I've learnt in the Masters. I would like to create solid structures that provide equal opportunities for citizens and I would like to contribute in the healing of the strong political polarization that exists in my country."

Funding provided for Research Awards gives students and staff opportunities to undertake research visits in collaboration with other institutions partnering with Santander Universities.
Dr Rachel Elder from the University of Sheffield has used this funding to look for solutions to a cleaner energy in Mexico through collaboration with the Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua.
'My research is in clean energy. I travelled to the University of Chihuahua in Mexico to present my work and discuss research collaborations with Victor Ramos Sanchez and colleagues. We´ve been talking about producing metal nonoparticles to use in catalysts for fuel cells and electrolysis cells, as well as the potential to use solar energy for hydrogen production.
The award has given me the opportunity to develop new collaborations in an exciting field. In Mexico they have a lot of solar energy that can be harnessed for clean fuel production.
Clean energy is vital for the future of the Earth and that's why we're currently developing research proposals. In particular, recycling carbon dioxide to form fuel could solve problems with global warming and fossil fuel shortage.'
