Doručení: elektronické doručení Popis Strategic Command: Wars in the Americas gives you the opportunity to fight five new campaigns covering some of the greatest conflicts of the mid/late 19th century. Including battlefields ranging from the deserts of Peru to the jungles of Cuba, these campaigns will provide countless hours of entertainment while challenging your strategic skills to the utmost! 1846 THE CONQUEST OF MEXICO Beginning in 1846, the Mexican-American War represented the culmination of the idea of America's Manifest Destiny, a dream to expand the nation's borders from sea to shining sea. It was a war that would see the return and fall of Santa Anna, marches thousands of miles long as the United States strove to control California, and a peace treaty that would push America to the verge of civil war. As Mexico, can you defend your vast nation from the American invasions? As the United States, will you march along the route of the conquistadores, all the way to the halls of Montezuma? 1863 THE EAGLE AND THE EMPIRE While the United States was divided by Civil War, French Emperor Napoleon III saw an opportunity to build his own influence in the Americas, launching an invasion of Mexico. In this alternate history campaign, President Lincoln's tacit support for the Mexican Republicans leads to French recognition of the Confederacy and a declaration of war against the United States. With battles raging from Gettysburg to Mexico City, will the Union be able to reclaim the initiative, or will French intervention be the key to Confederate victory in this expanded conflict? 1866 PARAGUAY UNDER SIEGE A year after Francisco Solano Lopez launched his unsuccessful invasions of Brazil and Argentina, the armies of the Triple Alliance have pushed the remnants of Paraguay's army across the Parana. Between them and Asuncion stand the fortifications of Humaita: the strongest citadel in South America.In signing the Treaty of the Triple Alliance, the governments of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay have committed themselves to continue fighting until Paraguay's government is overthrown. To oppose them, Lopez – and Paraguay – are prepared to fight to the death. 1879 GHOSTS OF THE PACIFIC For six months in 1879, the Peruvian ironclad Huascar, commanded by the talented Admiral Grau, defied Chile's efforts to conquer the rich nitrate and copper mines of the Atacama Desert. In a series of daring raids, Huascar sank Chilean warships and captured her transports, and it would eventually take the entire Chilean Navy to finally defeat the "ghost of the Pacific" at the Battle of Angamos.In this campaign, you will take command of Chile or Peru during the dramatic ironclad battles and bold amphibious landings of an epic South American conflict. Can you win the War of the Pacific? 1898 REMEMBER THE MAINE By 1898, many Americans believed that the time had come to remove the last major European presence from the Americas. Spain's ancient empire was wracked by rebellion, and the yellow press called for President McKinley to aid the rebel forces. When the USS Maine exploded in Havana harbor, her destruction ignited a war cry.Success in the Spanish-American War will require you to manage partisan uprisings, decisive naval battles, and amphibious operations on a map spanning three continents. Can you save Spain's empire from the brink of collapse, or is a new power set to take its place? Features New campaigns covering five major wars between 1846 and 1898 New unit types including Field Artillery, Blockhouses, Armored Cruisers and Torpedo Boats New historical leaders including Taylor, Bazaine, Escala, Caxias, Shafter and Scott New events including Santa Anna's Return from Exile, the Philippine Revolution and the construction of Paraguay's great 'Cristiano' mortar Systémové požadavky Systémové požadavky MINIMUM: OS: Windows 10 Processor: 1.5 GHZ Processor or Equivalent Memory: 6 GB RAM Graphics: 8MB video memory Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Sound Card Additional Notes: Minimum screen resolution 1024x768; Video/Graphics 8MB video memory Názory (0) Průměr: +Přidat názor Přidat hodnocení produktu 1 2 3 4 5 Ohodnotit MUVE.CZ neověřuje, zda uživatel vydávající stanovisko použil nebo zakoupil Zboží/Digitální obsah/Službu v obchodě MUVE.CZ Nikdo dosud nepřidal svůj názor.

USD/JPY could see its upside bias mitigated on a breach of the 146.85 level, suggest UOB Group's Economist Lee Sue Ann and Markets Strategist Quek Ser Leang.
Key Quotes
24-hour view: Last Friday, USD rose to a high of 147.96. Yesterday, we indicated that "despite the advance, upward momentum has not improved by much", and we expected it to grind higher. Instead of grinding higher, USD traded sideways in a relatively narrow range between 147.54 and 147.87. The price action is likely part of a consolidation phase. Today, USD is likely to trade in a range, probably between 147.35 and 147.90.
Next 1-3 weeks: Our update from yesterday (18 Sep, spot at 147.80) is still valid. As highlighted, upward momentum has increased slightly, and USD could edge higher. At this stage, the likelihood of a sustained rise above this level is not high. On the downside, if USD breaks 146.85 (no change in 'strong support' level from yesterday) would indicate that the mild upward pressure has eased.

Remember last September when I said that OLED was alive and well, thanks to the at-long-last arrival of 55-inch OLED TVs by both Samsung and LG? The TVs arrived with much fanfare and received a lot of high praise from reviewers, myself included. I gave the Samsung KN55S9C a five-star performance rating, concluding that it truly delivered on all the promises we'd hoped for from OLED. My time with the Samsung OLED made it a little easier to deal the impending demise of plasma. Even though these first OLED TVs were prohibitively expensive, in time those prices would fall, and videophiles would still have a flat-panel technology to love (since many refuse to love LCD).
It seems, however, that earlier reports of OLED's death may not have been greatly exaggerated...just a bit premature. Last fall's optimism began to give way to winter concern when, in December, we learned that Sony and Panasonic had ended their joint partnership to develop OLED. Then came the International CES in January, where LG was the only major manufacturer to introduce larger-screen OLED TVs. TV makers like Hisense and Haier showed off 55-inchers, but new OLEDs were conspicuously lacking in the booths of Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Sharp.
Additional Resources
Now, another round of news stories has both Samsung and Sony suspending their OLED production and focusing on 4K LCDs. The companies claim that this decision is based on the high cost of OLED manufacturing, the well-documented production issues that have resulted in low yields for large-screen OLEDs, and the lack of consumer demand at this stage. Those first two problems have existed for quite some time and didn't seem to daunt all the efforts leading up to the introduction of the Samsung/LG models last year, which leads me to believe that the lack of consumer demand has to be the primary issue why manufacturers have now decided to officially dial back their OLED development. I don't have any official sales numbers, but apparently those first OLED sets simply didn't sell well enough to justify all the other struggles.
Why is that? Why was consumer demand for these new, wonderfully performing OLED TVs so low? Of course, price was a huge hindrance for the general buying public. That's a no-brainer. Surely the OLED manufacturers did not expect these $9,000-plus 55-inch TVs to sell well with the average mainstream consumer. Surely they were counting on a certain percentage of enthusiasts who were willing and able to pay more to be early adopters, just as the industry has always done. Why didn't this particular audience step up to the plate? Does this audience even exist anymore? In a landscape where things change so quickly and prices drop so fast, is no one willing to pay more to get the coolest new thing right when it hits the market? If the early adopter is truly a relic in the home theater business, then I fear our entire industry will soon be one, too.
So does anybody want a curved TV? Click on over to Page 2 to find out . . .
So, let's consider a less pessimistic alternative. Let's blame the manufacturers for not understanding their target audience for OLED. Beyond performance, what is the coolest thing about OLED? The thing everyone noticed when the prototypes were first revealed? The answer: its super-thin, super-light form factor, even more so than the edge-lit LED-based LCDs currently crowding retail shelves. And what did we get when the TVs finally arrived on the market? Curved screens. In the case of the Samsung that I reviewed, the curved screen was also suspended inside a heavy, even-more-curved metallic frame that did absolutely nothing to show off how very thin and light the OLED panel actually was. Instead of letting OLED distinguish itself from LCD and plasma in its performance and form factor, manufacturers insisted on trying to add a visual distinction to justify the higher price. They're now doing the same thing with higher-end Ultra HD TVs, too - trying to sell us on a curved design that nobody wants.
Yep, I said nobody. In my dealings both inside and outside the industry, I have not encountered or heard from a single person who wants a curved TV or thinks it's a good idea. Our Comments section is loaded with people who just don't get what the curve is all about. My friends who are thinking about buying a TV ask me why on earth they'd want a curved screen. At least with 3D, some people thought the idea was cool, even if the current implementation has failed to catch on beyond a small but devoted audience. The curved screen doesn't even seem to have that in its corner. (If you disagree and are excited about the curve, tell us so in the Comments section. We want to hear from you.)
A curved screen might provide some benefit with off-axis viewing angle in a large-screen LCD, but all this talk of how it creates a more immersive experience on a flat-panel TV seems kind of silly. No TV is going to re-create the IMAX experience. Maybe if you pony up for one of the 105-inch curved TVs shown off at CES, the curved design might provide a slightly better sense of immersion, but the cost of those TVs makes a 55-inch OLED look like the budget option. If you want IMAX-like immersion, you're better off getting a good projector and a curved projection screen.
At least with Ultra HD TVs, flat-screen alternatives do exist. Thus far, that has not been the case with OLED, where all of the initial offerings and most of those on display at CES were curved. If no one wants a curved screen, then no one wants OLED. One of the only criticisms I had of the KN55S9C in my review was that I simply did not like the curved screen. I didn't like the form factor, and I didn't like the way it stretched and distorted reflected objects, making them even more distracting.
Perhaps the biggest drawback is that, even though the manufacturers say that some curved screens can be wall-mounted, who wants to mount a curved screen on a flat wall? For years, the trend in both TVs and mounts has been thinner, thinner, thinner. We want thinner TVs that require thinner, lower-profile mounts. And now you're telling us that curved screens that add unnecessary inches in depth are desirable?
According to Timothy Duffy of Simply Home Entertainment, a boutique, ultra-high-end custom AV installation firm in Beverly Hills, the wall-mounting issue with curved screens, OLED included, is a major drawback: "Every client we have wall-mounts their flat-screen TVs...much like a picture frame. LED TVs can be mounted to sit off the wall no more than two inches (and often less than 1.5 inches). Flat OLED TVs should allow for an even slicker and flatter installation, except the manufacturers decided to curve the screens, making these OLED TVs virtually unmountable."
If the first OLED TVs were targeted at the higher-end market and higher-end clients almost always wall-mount their displays, is it fair to conclude that the current OLED aesthetic, more so than its price, is to blame for poor sales? Duffy adds, "I think curved screens are a ridiculous idea, even in a front-projection system with a 30-foot-wide screen; it is absolutely asinine when considered for a 50- to 100-inch TV installation...This is yet another example of manufacturers doing something because they can; not because they should."
Right now, LG remains the lone big-name backer of OLED, and the company did recently launch (albeit with far less fanfare) the 55EA8800 Gallery OLED TV, a flat alternative to the 55EA9800. But is it a case of too little, too late? With its arch nemesis Samsung backing away from the category, will LG's commitment to OLED falter, as well? Time will tell, but I sadly predict that it will, which means all you LCD haters had better take really good care of your plasma televisions. Maybe even stock up on a few extras to store away in the basement for a few years...just in case.

Pulse Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:PLSE) has begun a clinical study to evaluate nano-pulse stimulation (NPS) platform in a common skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
NPS is a non-thermal therapy that uses ultra-short, nanosecond-pulsed electric fields that directly affect and disrupt intracellular structures. It has been shown to induce immunogenic cell death in pre-clinical cancer models, according to the company.
Study participants will be treated with NPS prior to resection of the BCC lesion, which is the standard of care for such lesions. Post-resection tissue samples will be assessed for the elimination of the lesion in the NPS treatment zone and for biomarkers indicating an immune response to the NPS-treated lesions.
The Hayward, Calif. startup withdrew the FDA 510(k) application for its PulseTx NPS system on September 11, 2017, saying it failed to meet a deadline for submitting requested information to the agency. The company has said it intends to refile.
Two weeks later, Pulse announced it would sell 2 million shares of common stock at $15.02 apiece to investor Robert Duggan in a $30 million private placement. The Securities and Exchange Commission is now investigating alleged insider trading in advance of that financing announcement. The company has said it is fully cooperating with the investigation.
Four skin cancer surgery centers in the United States will participate in this multi-center trial, scheduled to enroll up to 75 patients with biopsy-confirmed BCC lesions that will be treated and excised at the conclusion of the study. Both tissue and blood samples will be evaluated to characterize BCC elimination and changes in the immune response. A control group will be treated with standard cryoablation treatment, commonly known as cryotherapy, and will serve as a comparison between NPS and this commonly used method of benign and non-benign tissue destruction.
"As a skin cancer specialist, I perform hundreds of surgical excisions of skin cancers every year and am very excited about this initial study to assess the potential of NPS in basal cell carcinoma," said Thomas Rohrer, MD, of Skin Care Physicians of Chestnut Hill, Mass., one of the principal investigators in the study, in a statement from Pulse Biosciences (Hayward, Calif.). "I am intrigued about the potential of NPS to both directly eliminate treated basal cells and, importantly, to stimulate the immune system. Demonstrating this type of immunogenic response in BCCs may also provide important insights for treating other types of cancers."
The purpose of the "treat and resect" human clinical study in BCC is to take the first step in evaluating NPS' treatment effect on cancerous tumor cells in a human skin cancer. The study design provides the opportunity to obtain important NPS tissue and immune response data. The study is expected to complete enrollment by year-end 2018 and complete data follow-up in the first quarter of 2019.
Basal cell carcinoma is a skin cancer with a high mutational burden, according to Robert Pierce, MD, scientific director of the immunopathology lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash. "This project will leverage Fred Hutchison's expertise and capabilities in translational oncology to assess the ability of NPS to effectively eliminate the tumor and to increase tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes."
Pulse Biosciences, which is pre-revenue, posted a loss of -$9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, up 48.4% compared with Q2 2017. PLSE shares were up 4.6% to $13.97 apiece today in early trading.

The girl sighs, as she adjusts her bow in the mirror. She steps back, looking at her half-girl, half-woman body, just to make sure that the bow matched the rest of the school uniform. She preens, crowing her head slightly forward.
"It's a cute look for the first day of school—with the glitter, and the pink lining. It's definitely something Mom would pick out." She whispers to herself, smiling at the memory of catching her mother slipping it into her closet last night.
Her shoulders slump, and her smile fades, as she stares harder into the mirror. "It just isn't me" she mutters as she reaches into her hair.
Pit pat.
Pit pat.
Pit pat.
"Honey, are you ready? The bus is almost here!" A soft, distinctly female voice sounds from the bannister.
"Shit." The girl looks at the bow, now safely entwined in the palms of her hands. "Mom would be so happy if I put this on, but—"
"Honey, why aren't you wearing the bow I got you?" Her mom's voice was low, pointed, as if she wanted to ask all the questions in the world in one singular instance.
The girl turns to her mom, silently analyzing the former pageant queen that stood in her doorway.
Her mom was a pageant child, turned almost-pageant mom. Anyone could see that, given the amount of Little Miss Americana trophies (mostly the mom's) that littered the house. Anyone could see that, given the mom's immaculate, preppy outfit, her Americana-esque charm that reminded one of the girl-next-door trope.
What no one could see was the girl squirming in the frilly dresses, pushing her mom's buttons so that she would be sent home, far away from the leering audience, the catty girls, the body insecurity, the toxic need to win every contest.
What no one could see is that it took the girl years of complaints—years upon years of whining when she had to go, complaining all the time there, misbehaving on the ride home—for the mom to realize that not every girl enjoyed pageants or performing.
What no one could see is a mom, desperately trying to mold her daughter in order to understand her.
The girl smiles, a weak, plastic smile.
"I didn't want to" she says, quietly, firmly.
"Why not?" Her mom's face turned pale, and her eyes were downturned, as though the worry about the bow was pushing them down to the floor.
The girl shook her head. "It's just not me.
What do you mean? You used to love bows, you used to wear them every day! What happened?"
The girl's mouth dropped open, and her eyebrows raised to a pointed triangle.
"Seriously Mom? I never liked them! I only wore them every day because YOU would shove it in my hair if I didn't!"
The mom's cheeks turned pink, and her eyes began to glisten.
"What are you talking about? I never shoved it in your head! I only added it to your outfits, because I thought you liked them!"
The girl stepped back, not sure whether to laugh or scream.
"Since when is me taking them out of my hair, and saying that I don't like it, showing that I do? This isn't fucking Wonderland, where no is yes, Mom. Jesus!"
"Watch your language, or I WILL give you a reason to miss the bus."
Her mom's voice was steely, cold, quiet.
The girl's eyes glistened, and she moved forward, chest to chest. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she closed it again, biting her tongue.
Mom's gaze fell harder on her.
"Oh. So, you want to fight now? Ok. Since you CLEARLY want to fight, you also CLEARLY want to be grounded for the rest of the week. So, I'll do you a favor. I'll ground you for two—double your wish."
The girl's mouth dropped to the floor.
"Seriously?!? You're grounding me for two weeks over a stupid ribbon that I didn't want to wear?
"It's not about the ribbon, it's about the disrespect!
What disrespect?
THIS. THIS disrespect!" Her mom was practically flailing her arms, pointing at her with shortened, heightened breath, and bugging eyes.
"That's what you call disrespect? Ok."
A long bus horn sounded in the back, cutting through the silence like a knife through a thick cake. The girl looked behind her, and saw the flashes of yellow and black, with teens gathered around it, walking into it with apathetic, placid faces.
"Shit." She mutters under her breath, as she grabs her bag from underneath the desk, and begins stuffing it with random papers, hoping that one of them was the summer homework that was due that day.
"Leave without apologizing, and you'll be grounded for four weeks, instead of two."
Her mom's voice rang clear through the room, sounding through every corner, every ridge of her ear. Shit almost ran down her pants, as her mom glared, and the bus engine revved outside on the street.
"I can't apologize now, Mom, I'll miss the bus.
Then miss it. You don't apologize, you don't go.
Didn't you want me to make the bus a few minutes ago?
I did, but then you started fighting.
I only started fighting because you raised the issue!
I only raised the issue because you were throwing away my gift! Now, apologize!"
The girl sighed, and bit her lip, before the words "Ok, I'm sorry" could escape out of her mouth. She turned her face upwards, nose to nose with her mom.
"I'm sorry, Mom, but I can't apologize. I'm not sorry for fighting. I'm not sorry for having my own style. I'm not sorry for speaking up and defending myself. In fact, the only thing—person-- that I am sorry for is for you. You clearly still want to be Little Miss Americana, and you clearly can't understand and accept that your daughter might be different and have different wants and dreams than you do. So, yeah, I'm sorry for you—not for fighting. Now, the bus is about to leave. Let me go."
The girl pushes through her mom, and out of the door, past her seething mom, past her mom's threats to continue this after school, past the threats to pull her out of clubs and put her in another pageant. She walks—no, marches—into the open air, staring straight ahead into the open street, as the bus begins to roll out of view.

Esthetician Cosmetology School
How to Find the Best One Near Enterprise Alabama
Now that you have decided to enter the field of cosmetology and attend an esthetician school near Enterprise AL, the task begins to find and enroll in the best program. Because estheticians are required to be licensed in all 50 states, the school you select should prepare you to pass the licensing test as well as provide the necessary training for your specialty. You may be a little puzzled when starting your search for esthetician classes as to the difference between beauty and cosmetology schools, which both offer esthetician training. Since the names are in effect interchangeable and relate to the same type of school, you shouldn't be. If you plan on commuting to classes you will need to locate a school that is within driving distance of your Enterprise home. Tuition will additionally be an important aspect when assessing possible schools. However, a school is not always the best choice just because it happens to have a campus near your home or is lower in cost. Accreditation and reputation, for example are among the other qualifications that you need to evaluate when weighing your school options. We will go over what questions you should ask about the cosmetology schools you are considering later in this article. Before we do, let's discuss a little bit about what types of programs are available.
It Takes Just a Few Minutes to Start Your Esthetician Career Below!
Esthetics Degrees and Certificates
There are basically two options available to receive esthetician training and a credential after completion. You can enroll in a certificate (or diploma) program, or you can pursue an Associate's degree. Certificate programs usually take 12 to 18 months to finish, while an Associate's degree ordinarily takes about 2 years. If you enroll in a certificate program you will be trained in all of the main areas of cosmetology. Briefer programs are offered if you want to specialize in just one area, for instance esthetics. A degree program will also most likely incorporate management and marketing training to ensure that graduates are better prepared to manage a parlor or other Enterprise AL business. More advanced degrees are not typical, but Bachelor and Master's degree programs are offered in such specializations as salon or spa management. Whichever type of course you decide on, it's essential to make certain that it's certified by the Alabama Board of Cosmetology. A number of states only recognize schools that are accredited by certain highly regarded agencies, for example the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS). We will cover the benefits of accreditation for the school you choose in the following segment.
Questions to Ask Esthetician Training Programs
Following is a series of questions that you should look into for any esthetician training school you are contemplating. As we have previously covered, the location of the school relative to your Enterprise home, in addition to the price of tuition, will undoubtedly be your initial qualifiers. Whether you wish to earn a certificate, diploma or a degree will undoubtedly be next on your list. But once you have reduced your school choices based on those preliminary qualifications, there are even more factors that you should research and take into consideration before enrolling in a cosmetology school. Following we have put together some of those additional questions that you need to ask every school before making a final determination.
Is the Esthetician Program Accredited? It's important to make sure that the esthetician training program you choose is accredited. The accreditation should be by a U.S. Department of Education acknowledged local or national agency, such as the National Accrediting Commission for Cosmetology Arts & Sciences (NACCAS). Programs accredited by the NACCAS must measure up to their high standards ensuring a quality curriculum and education. Accreditation may also be necessary for acquiring student loans or financial aid, which frequently are not obtainable for non- accredited schools. It's also a criteria for licensing in many states that the training be accredited. And as a concluding benefit, a number of Enterprise AL employers will not employ recent graduates of non-accredited schools, or may look more favorably upon those with accredited training.
Does the School have a Great Reputation? Each esthetician college that you are seriously considering should have a good to excellent reputation within the field. Being accredited is a good beginning. Next, ask the schools for endorsements from their network of businesses where they have placed their students. Confirm that the schools have high job placement rates, showing that their students are highly sought after. Check rating companies for reviews as well as the school's accrediting agencies. If you have any relationships with Enterprise AL salon owners or managers, or anyone working in the trade, ask them if they are acquainted with the schools you are considering. They might even be able to suggest others that you had not thought of. And last, check with the Alabama school licensing authority to see if there have been any complaints filed or if the schools are in full compliance.
What's the School's Focus? A number of esthetician schools offer programs that are expansive in nature, focusing on all facets of cosmetology. Others are more focused, offering training in a particular specialty, for example hairstyling, manicuring or electrolysis. Schools that offer degree programs commonly broaden into a management and marketing curriculum. So it's imperative that you select a school that focuses on your area of interest. If your objective is to be trained as an esthetician, make certain that the school you enroll in is accredited and well regarded for that program. If your aspiration is to launch a Enterprise AL beauty salon, then you want to enroll in a degree program that will teach you how to be an owner/operator. Selecting a highly ranked school with a weak program in the specialty you are pursuing will not provide the training you require.
Is Plenty of Hands-On Training Provided? Practicing and refining esthetician techniques and abilities demands plenty of practice on volunteers. Find out how much live, hands-on training is included in the cosmetology lessons you will be attending. A number of schools have salons on campus that make it possible for students to practice their developing skills on real people. If a beauty school provides little or no scheduled live training, but instead relies predominantly on using mannequins, it might not be the most effective alternative for acquiring your skills. Therefore try to find alternate schools that provide this type of training.
Does the School have a Job Placement Program? As soon as a student graduates from an esthetician academy, it's crucial that he or she receives aid in landing that initial job. Job placement programs are an important part of that process. Schools that furnish aid develop relationships with Enterprise AL businesses that are looking for qualified graduates available for hiring. Check that the schools you are considering have job placement programs and inquire which salons and establishments they refer students to. In addition, find out what their job placement rates are. Higher rates not only affirm that they have broad networks of employers, but that their programs are highly regarded as well.
Is Financial Aid Available? The majority of esthetician schools provide financial aid or student loan assistance for their students. Find out if the schools you are reviewing have a financial aid office. Consult with a counselor and find out what student loans or grants you might qualify for. If the school belongs to the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS), it will have scholarships accessible to students also. If a school fulfills each of your other qualifications except for cost, do not eliminate it as an option before you learn what financial aid may be offered.

- Evidence of the Affair
Page 7
Page 7
Thank you for helping me remember how to be happy.
July 12, 1977
Carlsbad, California
It is I who should be thanking you. You have reminded me that no matter what happens with my marriage, all is not lost. There is still beauty out there, still unexpected wonders.
The only silver lining, should all this end in disaster, is that there is you.
July 19, 1977
Encino, California
You are the biggest surprise of my adult life. I had absolutely no idea when I wrote to you that first time that I was reaching out to a kindred spirit. And as complicated and unforeseen as this all has been, I don't regret a single second of it.
How are things there? I have to ask: Since coming home, have you found any other letters from Ken? Heard anything else from Janet?
Ken has been oddly attentive as of late. He has come home directly after work. He has bought me flowers. Tonight he is taking me out to dinner at the Chateau Marmont (a fancy hotel for movie stars and rock bands).
I do not know what it all means.
July 25, 1977
Carlsbad, California
I have found no letters lately, and Janet has stopped excusing herself after dinner to go for a walk, which I've always assumed she spent at the pay phone. I do not know what it means.
How are you? I hope your cold is better. I'm thinking of you and sending you thoughts of matzo ball soup with extra noodles.
July 29, 1977
Encino, California
I miss you. I hope that is all right to say. I wish, so often, you were here in person.
Yesterday, Ken told me that he is going to Palm Springs for a consult on a former colleague's case. He says he'll be there from August 8 through 13. I am assuming that this is a lie, but I have found no more letters from Janet, so I cannot be sure.
Has Janet mentioned anything to you? Has she planned time away?
If they are going away together again, shall we meet?
August 3, 1977
Carlsbad, California
I've heard nothing from Janet about this. I have no idea.
I'll check to see if there are any letters in the cookbooks or glove compartments or buried in the closet when I get home.
If she does go, I'll call you and set a time for us to meet.
August 6, 1977
Encino, California
Ken leaves Monday for Palm Springs. Still no word from Janet?
Last night, Ken made me dinner. He went to the store after work and bought groceries. He grilled us steaks and made a salad, including homemade dressing that was from a recipe from a nurse at work.
He lit candles and opened a bottle of wine. I was confused and skeptical. But I was also surprised at just how pleasant it was to have his attention again. It had been gone so long, I had forgotten how it felt.
He started talking about when we met. He said he spoke to his father after our first date and told him he would marry me. He told me his father told him to choose a woman he could love for fifty years. And then Ken said to me, "And that's what you are."
I said, "Are you sure you won't ever want someone else?"
And Ken said, "I will never love anyone the way I love you. Never."
Obviously, a large part of me felt like he was lying, but there was another part of me that felt like, What if he has decided once again that I'm "the One"?
But I asked him if he really needed to go to Palm Springs on Monday, and he insisted he had to. So Janet must be meeting him there, right?
August 9, 1977
Carlsbad, California
It's now Tuesday, August 9, and Janet is still here. She seems to have no plans to leave. If Ken has left, I can say definitively he is not with Janet.
Do you think their relationship is over? I can't make heads or tails of all this.
August 15, 1977
Encino, California
On Monday morning, just as Ken was getting ready to get in the car for the drive to Palm Springs, he looked at me and said, "Why don't you come with me?"
I said, "With you?"
And he said, "Yes, come with me."
And I found myself packing up a couple of things and getting into the car with him.
It turns out there truly was a consult. It wasn't a lie.
How odd to feel confused that your husband is telling the truth. And yet, I have to admit, there was real comfort in that. It was as if the Ken I fell in love with reappeared: trustworthy, dependable.
I spent my days walking around the town and shopping, and then during the evenings Ken and I would go out to restaurants and have drinks at bars and order room service for dessert. I swear, when he looked into my eyes, it truly seemed like he loved me. It felt like a new beginning, I suppose. It was as if the past had never transpired.
He said he wants to take me on a vacation to Italy next year. He called it a "second honeymoon." I'm not quite sure how I feel about it all right now. I'm a bit stunned, to be frank.
Is it possible that after all we have both been through, it has ended with them coming back to us?
All my best,
August 20, 1977
Carlsbad, California
Last night, Janet and I put the kids to sleep and then decided to watch some TV in the living room. I was sitting in my recliner, Janet on the sofa, when she walked up to the TV and turned it off.
She said, "I've been sleeping with someone else."
And she confessed everything.
She started at the very beginning—how they met years ago and she thought nothing of it but then ran into him for the second time last August. I didn't realize it, but the night they met again was a night in which she and I had gotten into an argument about how I was always grading papers on evenings we were supposed to spend together. She'd decided, rather angrily, to go out with her friend Sharon.
Apparently, she didn't come home until the next morning, and she said I barely even noticed. It strikes me as almost unbelievable how little attention I paid to her back then. Not that I'm blaming myself. After knowing the full details, my anger at Janet has somehow become stronger but also more tolerable. That doesn't make much sense, I guess.
Anyway, she admitted how long they went on like that, how often they met up, what she was feeling, why she did it. And when she confessed, so did I.
I told her I had known for some time. I told her that you and I had been exchanging letters and had become close during this bizarre time. I shared some of our letters as well.
There was no confession left to be made by the end of the night. Or I should say wee hours of the morning. Janet and Ken are through. And there are no more lies living in our marriage anymore.
Janet told me this morning that she wants to stay together, and she asked me point-blank if I thought that she and I could get past this.
It was a difficult question to answer. I kept thinking of you, to be honest. What you have shown me, how much I look forward to seeing you. You have come to mean so much to me.
But if I ask myself whether I believe I can one day forgive the mother of my children and begin to trust her again, the answer that I keep coming to is yes. I believe that I can.
And if I find that I can't, I still have to try. I want nothing as much as I want to live in the same home as my sons, to see them every morning, to say good night to them every night, as they grow into men. I want the future I had hoped for.
I told Janet that I am not quite ready to forgive her, but I do feel ready to work to get there. And that, right now, is enough of a start for both of us. We believe we can put this thing back together.
As for the details of the end of their relationship and the trip over the Fourth, Janet has told me the full story. And then she showed me Ken's last letters.
From what Janet says, she and Ken spent the Fourth of July in Newport Beach. They made plans to contact divorce attorneys and made some decisions about where they would live and what kind of custody she would request of the boys. It was all but settled.
As they were getting ready to leave, Ken went to pay the bill, and Janet went over to the convenience store next to the hotel and grabbed a drink and a sandwich for the ride home. When she paid, she realized she was a penny short, and so she grabbed one from the "Leave a Penny, Take a Penny" tray. She said it was brand-new, not a scratch on it. It was bright and shiny, exactly the kind I've always loved. And as she held the penny in her hand, she realized she couldn't remember the last time she'd seen me pick one up.

Planning ahead will help you prevent the destruction that can originate from these kinds of liabilities (bounce house rentals in chicago). There are two potential methods to avoid these types of issues: Prior to progressing with your very first leasing, you should highly think about dealing with a contract lawyer to develop a liability waiver for your bounce home rental business - bounce house rentals chicago.
By signing a liability waiver, the tenants take obligation if little Timmy is hurt on the bounce home, so the celebration that provided the bounce home won't be responsible for his medical costs or any pain and suffering associated with the injury. The majority of contract attorneys charge in between $500 and $1,500 to establish these types of liability waivers.
You'll desire to contact a Next Insurance coverage representative to discuss your specific requirements though. Liability waivers aren't worth the paper they're written on in some states. In other states, the law holds the parties in liability waivers to the contract they signed. Having insurance coverage is ultimately a choice. Although there are no legal requirements surrounding liability insurance coverage, it is an absolute must if your state does not acknowledge liability waivers.
So, a refusal to do your research on this subject could ultimately cost you home and home. Similar to many organizations, in order to get your party-rental business off the ground, you will require to buy equipment. Bounce home rental business will need the following devices to start: You can't lease inflatable bounce homes to anybody if you don't own them.
These usually have a bounce house with a water slide connected to the side of it. Although rentals with water functions will not be popular in the winter time, they yield a premium in summer months. Wet/Dry combos typically cost about $2,500. Inflatable water slides are tall inflatables that normally feature a single, large water slide or more slides for racing purposes.
You must have the ability to discover a quality inflatable water slide for around $3,500. Inflatable barrier courses are a fairly new trend in the party-rentals industry. They are extremely popular for all times of the year. Moreover, due to the fact that they offer far more activities than the traditional moonwalk bounce home, they yield greater rental rates.
The type of product utilized to make the bounce house is among the most crucial factors. The majority of bounce houses are made from either PVC vinyl or heavy-duty nylon. When acquiring a bounce home, try to find those made out of PVC vinyl. Not just is this product far lighter and easier to deal with, it's also far stronger than standard nylon building and construction - chicago bounce house rentals.
So, it is very important to invest in bounce homes that promote safe usage. Search for bounce houses that have large mesh locations and provide as couple of blind areas as possible. When renting your bounce houses, promoting this feature will help your prospective customers pick you over your competition. Some bounce homes are engineered and designed in the United States, and some are developed and crafted in other nations.
Bounce homes, inflatable water slides, and challenge courses are big and incredibly heavy. As an outcome, your customers probably aren't going to pertain to your business to get and return their rental pickup and shipment will be on you. However, the average bounce home isn't going to fit in the average cars and truck's trunk.
A few of the smaller sized tools you'll require to run your bounce house rental company consist of:. Inflatable bounce houses need a blower to inflate them and keep them inflated. Most bounce houses will feature a suitable blower if they are bought new from the maker. If it does not, you will need to buy a blower that is compatible with the bounce house you have actually acquired (illinois inflatable rentals).
Power cables on bounce house blowers are relatively short. In a lot of cases, you will need to provide a top quality extension cord to power the blower. Remember, these blowers utilize rather a bit of electricity, so it's finest to purchase a thick, 10-gauge extension cord with each bounce home.
You can get your hands on four of these for about $160. It's best to ratchet strap your bounce home to your dolly when moving it to guarantee that it does not fall off, potentially triggering home damage or causing physical injury. Cog straps will cost about $30. Cleaning your rental party devices is your obligation.
Moreover, you never wish to pack your bounce home up damp. Doing so will cause mold and mildew, and might lead to concerns with product integrity in the long run. So, it's finest to utilize your leaf blower to dry your equipment off before packing it up after each rental (chicago inflatable).
Using all of the expenses discussed above, you will need to invest a total of roughly $17,315 into your startup.: This total does not include the expense of liability insurance coverage and a vehicle wrap. Thinking about the typical expense of liability insurance coverage is $2,500 per year, and the average expense of a vehicle wrap has to do with $3,000, if you decide to move on with these choices, your total investment will come to around $22,315.
However, once the startup financial investment is settled, your bounce home rental business has the potential to be quite lucrative. The average rental rates for inflatables are as follows:: $250 per weekend.: $350 per weekend.: $450 per weekend.: $500 per weekend. Typically, you will pay about $75 in labor, fuel, and mileage costs to drop off and get your rentals within 20 miles.
However, these numbers are based on leasing 100% of your inventory every weekend. In the start, this is highly unlikely. To reach this level, you will need to invest a long time and possibly money into marketing, which is outlined listed below. Moreover, in the winter, you will be hard pushed to lease any party equipment with water functions.

While World Migratory Bird Day yielded just one bird for me, the previous couple of days were a lot more productive, as my brother and I did a short trip out to Washington, North Carolina, and points further east. Here on the waterfront of the town, a nest box for purple martins (Progne subis) shows a lot of activity, in a prime location where there were plenty of riverside bugs to catch. None of the females wanted to give me the clearest looks for illustration, but the males are very deep blue with black wings, while the females more midtone grey with paler bellies, so you can at least tell that there are plenty of couples in residence. Actually, I may be assuming too much about the social structure of martins; this might just be a swingers' condo. No judgment.
This example here isn't exactly migratory, tending to remain in the same areas all year long, but it was what I captured on the same trip anyway. Identifying it was a little tricky, given that the hairy woodpecker and the downy woodpecker are almost identical, save for a) the size of the beak, which doesn't differentiate very much at all; b) some very subtle markings that, like in this photo, aren't even fully visible; and c) the size, which is fine if you're close enough or have a solid reference point. I'm going to go with downy woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) for this one, and a male at that because it appeared to be doing a display for another just out of clear sight behind some foliage, but if someone wants to argue, I'll cleverly switch the subject over to philosophy just to trash them.
This was in Goose Creek State Park east of Washington, bordering the Pamlico River. An interesting mix of pine forest, swampy wetlands, and largely saltwater sound that yielded the green heron here, it was while wandering the edge of the sound/river that we saw a lone osprey hanging out on a distant dead tree well out into the water.
Its presence there for an extended period of time was a little suspicious, especially given how close it was to an old nest stand that had seen better, or at least more upright, days.
I included the trunk of another tree at the edge of the frame for a reference, to show that I wasn't being creative with camera angles but holding it dead level. This would initially seem to indicate that the nest platform was long abandoned, but then again, birds nest in the crooks of branches and all that, and sure enough, a very close look at the nest revealed why the osprey was hanging around nearby.
Even at this magnification you have to look closely, but that's the top of the head and the yellow eye almost dead-center in the frame, the mother sitting on eggs while the father stands watch and fetches food as needed. This was not happening while we were around, though, so no action to catch this time.
Back home, or near it anyway at Jordan Lake, more action was to be found.
The sky was less cooperative later in the day, but the birds were extremely active, and this osprey was circling not too far off and looking about ready to stoop for a fish. When all of a sudden…
… another appeared out of nowhere and dove on the innocent hunter, apparently feeling that this was poaching on its territory, and it was largely through sheer luck that I had the camera to eye at that moment – the second I saw the action I was firing off frames. Timing this would have been next to impossible.
The lower osprey quickly took the hint and dove out of contact, immediately vacating the area, perhaps as surprised as we were – it certainly showed no sign of seeing its attacker coming. While it's hard to imagine that the victim didn't sustain some injury from the encounter, it's hard to say for sure; the feathers are relatively thick there and an osprey might attack another solely for the message, not necessarily to injure them. A lot of wildlife encounters are like that, especially within the same species, and aren't as vicious as they appear, but the rest is simply speculation.
Off in the distance, a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) performed another harassing encounter on an osprey, which didn't yield very good pics, but I include this one solely for the curiosity.
Here, I believe it has just completed its attack and is diving for the fish that the osprey had dropped, but what an awkward pose. While I know the back is largely towards us, to the right a bit, and the head is straight down, those wings still have me confused – we're seeing evidence of a hard maneuver, but the anatomy is not exactly clear here.
We'll close with a better one.
The late afternoon sun was providing just a little color, and the autofocus nailed things properly, even for the fish. If I knew more about fish species this would probably be enough to identify it, but I don't and I'm not taking the time. Feel free to chime in if you know.

Just finished mowing my lawn. I bounce in and out of wifi range so I just listen offline. Here's my song list:
Toosie Slide - Drake
Toosie Slide - Drake
Toosie Slide - Drake
Toosie Slide - Drake
Toosie Slide - Drake
Toosie Slide - Drake
Toosie Slide - Drake
While I'm Drake fan this is a bit much. I've gone online and told Pandora I'm tired of this song but to no avail. It's been a lot of Toosie Slide lately. Any suggestions?
Hey there, @scotth19. 👋
Sorry to hear that you're experiencing repetition with this specific track.
Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?
What offline station are you listening to when this song pops up?
Also, have you thumbed down the song while in offline mode?
Let me know.
The station is "Today's Hits". I have not thumbed down the song. I like Drakes music and I'm concerned I'll get less of it going forward. I'ts just this song that's been repetitive.
@scotth19 Thanks for clarifying that info. I completely understand where you're coming from.
To prevent your stations from becoming too repetitive, we periodically refresh your offline stations based on your online listening habits and the Thumb feedback you give. Each offline station that is downloaded will provide approximately 3 hours of music for you to enjoy.
While listening offline, it's important to continue giving feedback in the form of Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down. The next time you connect to Pandora through Wi-Fi or a mobile network, we will use that info to personalize and replace the offline tracks with new ones. Giving the track a Thumbs Down in offline mode shouldn't affect you hearing Drake on your station. To prevent artists from playing on your station, you would need to give a consistent Thumbs Down.
I've enabled a trace on your account to help us better understand what's happening. For this trace to be useful, we'll need you to run through our troubleshooting steps below.
I'd recommend disabling the offline listening feature and re-enabling it, which will reset the download process for your offline stations. Then, make sure to keep Pandora in the foreground of your device while the download completes.
To do that from a mobile device:
Let me know if this helps! 📲
Thanks for getting back to me Alyssa. I did that before and ended up in the same situation. I just walked through the steps listed again and we'll see if that fixes my issue. Will keep you posted.
Sounds good, @scotth19.
I appreciate you sticking with me on this.
Let me know how it goes when you have an update. 👍
Listened for a couple hours the other day while traveling. Same situation.
@scotth19 'd like to report your issue to our engineering team. Can you send over a bit more info about your device?
Have you identified any other patterns or notable information?
Let me know what you can find out.

Have you identified any other patterns or notable information? I have not. App was working perfectly before this issue with the one song started.
Thanks so much for getting back to me with this information, @scotth19.
I've gone ahead and reported this over to our engineering team for further review. Appreciate your patience while they look into this!
@Ddavis2109 I moved your post over to this existing thread; Android: Offline Songs Repeating
To clarify, are you sorting your Offline downloads by Songs, and selecting Shuffle when songs begin to repeat?
Or are you listening to one of the downloaded playlists you created when tracks repeat before cycling through all songs that you've added to it?
Let me know.

Im in offline mode. My collections. Songs. Shuffle.
The first scenario.
@Ddavis2109 Thanks for following up.
I've enabled a trace on your account to help us better understand what's happening.
Please try running through the troubleshooting steps listed here: Troubleshooting for Android Devices
If tracks continue to repeat in Offline Mode, can you please grab a screenshot of the track that repeats, and make note of the date and time that it played more than once in your Offline session?
Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

text: Heavy metal is a broad term used to describe a group of naturally occurring metallic elements of high molecular weight and density when compared to water.[1] At low concentrations, certain heavy metals, such as iron, zinc, copper, and manganese, are essential for human survival but can become toxic agents at higher concentrations. Other heavy metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, thallium, and mercury, serve no biological role. However, they will inevitably enter the human body due to their presence in the environment. Similarly to the essential metals, they will induce toxicity once certain concentrations are reached.

Documents Required
Student banking in Malaysia as an international student is quite simple, and the account opening procedure is straightforward. You can only begin the procedure once the visa endorsement has been completed and you have received the student visa sticker on your passport in Malaysia.
Once your visa endorsement has been completed, you can begin the process of opening a student bank account in Malaysia. The first step is to collect your passport from the international office once your endorsement has been completed. Along with the passport, you can request the international office at your university to issue a bank letter on your behalf. This bank letter usually validates your status as a current student in the university and other details pertaining to your status, which helps the bank to verify your status as well.
Here is the list of documents that you must prepare before you visit any bank branch to start the procedure.
Documents To Prepare
- Original Passport
- University Offer Letter
- Bank Reference Letter From University
Once you have prepared all the documents, you can visit the nearest branch of the bank and go to the information counter and notify them that you want to open a direct savings account. International students can usually only open a savings account.
They will provide you with a bank account form which you must fill up and return to the bank officer. They will then request the rest of the documents that you have prepared, and upon verification of all the documents, they will start your account opening procedure. The account can be opened on the spot, and you will be able to receive a debit card as well. You can also request to start internet banking service at the same time to save you another visit to the branch. Once your account has been opened and activated, you will be able to perform transactions online as well as offline.
Best Banks For Students
Malaysia has some of the largest banks in Southeast Asia, offering extensive banking and financial services. As an international student, you will be able to access most of the banking services for retail customers fairly easily.
The following are some of the most commonly used banks by international students in Malaysia that you may want to consider when planning to open your bank account in Malaysia.
Banking Fees
It is advisable that you choose a bank with a broad network of ATMs, branches, online banking services and e-wallet capabilities to have the best banking experience as an international student.
The most common bank account type you can open as an international student is a regular savings account. You will also have the option to choose a conventional or Islamic banking system, as most banks in Malaysia offer both options.
Regarding banking charges, different banks may have their conditions. The following are necessary charges that you will need to be aware of while banking in Malaysia:
- Regular service charges
- Minimum deposits
- Debit card fees
- ATM fees
- Early closure charges
