Review: The Border by Steve Schafer
One moment changed their lives forever.
A band plays, glasses clink, and four teens sneak into the Mexican desert, the hum of celebration receding behind them.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
Not fireworks―gunshots. The music stops. And Pato, Arbo, Marcos, and Gladys are powerless as the lives they once knew are taken from them.
Then they are seen by the gunmen. They run. Except they have nowhere to go. The narcos responsible for their families' murders have put out a reward for the teens' capture. Staying in Mexico is certain death, but attempting to cross the border through an unforgiving desert may be as deadly as the secrets they are trying to escape…

Review: The Secrets We Keep by Deb Loughead
First she blamed herself. Now she doesn't know who to trust.
When Kit disappeared at a party and was found drowned in the quarry the next day, Clem knew who to point the finger at: herself. She was the last person to see him alive, the last person who could have helped. If she had just kept a closer eye on him instead of her crush, Jake, maybe Kit would still be here. She knows she made a mistake, and wishes she could just forget about it — but Clem's friend Ellie says she'll expose Clem's secret if she doesn't play along with Ellie's lies.
Jake seems to have his own difficult secrets, and when he and Clem start to talk, they make a plan to help themselves move on. But when an unexpected discovery at the quarry makes everyone question what they thought they knew, Clem and Jake decide it's up to them to uncover the truth.

Review: Hunger (Gone #2) by Michael Grant
It's been three months since everyone under the age of fifteen became trapped in the bubble known as the FAYZ.
Three months since all the adults disappeared. GONE.
Food ran out weeks ago. Everyone is starving, but no one wants to figure out a solution. And each day, more and more kids are evolving, developing supernatural abilities that set them apart from the kids without powers. Tension rises and chaos is descending upon the town. It's the normal kids against the mutants. Each kid is out for himself, and even the good ones turn murderous.
But a larger problem looms. The Darkness, a sinister creature that has lived buried deep in the hills, begins calling to some of the teens in the FAYZ. Calling to them, guiding them, manipulating them.
The Darkness has awakened. And it is hungry.

Changes to Credits
When we launched Poliigon 2 years ago, we approached it with a very simple system: every download would cost 1 credit. And while this worked well for a while, it quickly exposed three big problems:
- Not every download was worth 1 credit. For example a treeline backdrop took upwards of 10 hours to capture, clean and produce and cost 1 credit. Yet a color variation for a pattern took barely 10 seconds to create, yet it also cost one credit. Same price, but completely different values to you as an artist. The former was a bargain, the latter a ripoff.
- It made re-downloading difficult. We want you to be able to revisit the assets you've previously purchased and download them for free again. But if you only downloaded say 2 of the 8 maps for one material. You only own 20% of the asset. This makes re-downloading difficult, both from a logistical and a usability standpoint.
- It's incompatible with new asset types. We already have HDRs and Brushes which have differing credit values. And later this year we'll be introducing models - all of which have differing amounts of files attached to them.
So obviously we needed a new system. After lots of number crunching, we've come up with a new system that solves all these problems and makes acquiring new assets much easier.
The New System
Poliigon has now switched to a flat cost system. Here's how it works...
Regardless of how many files are included in each download it will have a flat cost defined to it.
Once you've acquired the asset it's yours to keep! It will then appear in your My Assets section, which you can revisit and redownload at any time, for free!
Here's the new pricing:
- Surface Imperfections & Patterns = 5 credits
- Brushes = 8 credits
- HDRs = 10 credits
- Photoscanned or Substance made: 10 credits
Finally, as a gift to our existing customers, if you previously downloaded any part of texture (eg. one diffuse map): you have now been gifted the entire asset for free.
Click "Acquired Assets" in the side bar to see what you currently own :)

Jimmy Lewis Stilletto Air Inflatable SUP
Jimmy Lewis Stilletto Air Inflatable SUP
Demo board in stock.
The Stiletto Air is designed to be fast, stable, and great for paddling long distances easily. Very few Inflatables can pressurize up to 25 PSI. This means that this board will be rigid and feel like a hard-sided SUP. And that means speed. Comes with 3 part collapsible paddle, pump, and bag.
Features: Jimmy's inflatables are constructed with Mirasol drop-stitch fabric and double-layer PVC fabric which allows a max pressure 25 psi (1.72 bar). We recommend pumping them up to between 15 and 20 psi, but it's nice to know they can handle a lot more. The double-wall stringer construction technology is light, forgiving and almost indestructible. They come with a high-quality footpad, a carry handle, and tie-down bungee to store extra gear or a PFD.
Note: there are lighter inflatables on the market, but they don't have double wall construction and cannot handle high pressure and they are not nearly as durable as Jimmy's. You get what you pay for, so make sure to educate yourself, and don't get fooled by cheaper products!
In the box: US Base polycarbonate fin (the fin box is compatible with all standard SUP fins). No screwdriver needed! Top quality backpack bag for storage and transport with padded shoulder straps and inner storage pockets. Industry standard HP pump for quick inflation (it takes about 5 minutes in total, but don't try to do it all at once). Pressure gauge. Adjustable aluminum 3-piece paddle (1215 grams). Recommended for use as a spare or backup. Repair kit (just in case, but you'll likely never need it!).

Why Is Rewriting Plagiarism Important?
Since the invention of the internet tutors have found the incidence of plagiarism in written work to have increased significantly. Plagiarism is simply using someone else's words as your own, whether it is done intentionally by simply copying someone else's work or unintentionally when you forget to show that something was a quotation. Many tutors employ the best online plagiarism checker that they can find to discover if work submitted is unique. Students, on the other hand, may be using a plagiarism rewriter to avoid submitting copied work.
There are many ways that you can submit work that would be considered plagiarized and most students will seek to overcome this by paraphrasing the original text. When you paraphrase you simply rewrite in your own words while maintaining the original meaning.
The problem is that quick summarizing and paraphrasing are not as easy to do as most students expect. Many will find that they still repeat some of the original phrasing and that they get flagged by the software used by their school or college when they hand in their writing. It is important that you, therefore, work hard to lower plagiarism rate before you submit your writing.
What Are the Different Types of Plagiarism?
The following would all be considered plagiarism within your writing and should be avoided if you do not want any issues with your work:
- Using a direct quotation without acknowledging the original author: the quoted text must be within quotation marks and a citation made. The same is true for images and other media that was not created by yourself.
- Not citing a paraphrase or a summary: just because you have written something into your own words does not make it your own idea. You must still cite the original source to give credit to them.
- Poor referencing: your citation and references must be done correctly and in the right academic style to avoid any issues with plagiarism.
- Made up references: just because you cannot remember where you found the information does not mean that you can simply make up a source for it.
- Presenting someone else's work as your own: submitting an elder siblings essay as your own for instance would be plagiarism.
- Collusion with your writing: your writing should be your own and not the result of a group effort that you fail to declare.
What Are the Outcomes of Failing to Use a Plagiarism Rewriter?
Failing to rewrite plagiarism in an academic setting can lead to some potentially very serious problems for you. If it is seen as being accidental then you may have your grades reduced significantly, more serious and deliberate plagiarism could easily see you suspended from your studies or even permanently removed from your course. Few colleges and universities will tolerate any form of plagiarism from your work.
Within a professional setting many people could have benefited from plagiarism rewriting help:
- J.K Rowling: she was accused of copying ideas from an earlier book called "Willy the Wizard" and has found herself being taken to court in multiple countries.
- Nicki Minaj: not only has she been accused of stealing lyrics for her songs on more than one occasion she has also been taken to court for stealing wig designs.
- Alex Haley: the author of the highly successful book "Roots" was sued and had to admit that he had copied large chunks of his work from another author.
Get you quality assistance to make your papers plagiarism-free!
How to Avoid Plagiarism in Your Writing
Rewriting to avoid plagiarism is hard work. It is often far better to ensure that you avoid it in the first place. The following are methods that you can use to avoid having to rewrite plagiarism:
- Use only your own ideas: original writing that does not try to recycle the works of others will generally always be plagiarism free.
- Do not simply submit work knowing that it is copied or written by another.
- Start your writing early: give yourself plenty of time to get your writing done as often rushing will cause your plagiarism mistakes.
- Take careful notes: record all of the information required for any citations and make it clear if you have paraphrased or recorded a direct quotation.
- If you copy information directly into your work intending to change it later do so in a different color so that you don't forget.
- If you directly quote someone's words ensure that you use quotation marks to highlight then and provide a citation.
- Rewrite things into your own words: ensure that you have not copied any of the original text and still provide a citation.
- Ensure that your citations are correct: there are many free tools online that can help you do your citations and references in the required style.
- Improve your own writing skills: by doing plenty of practice you can help to ensure that you keep your writing free of issues.
- Use a plagiarism rewriter online to fix any issues with your writing before you submit it.
How to Do Paper Plagiarism Rewriting
If you do have to rewrite plagiarism then the following tips for rewriting will help you to do it without encountering any plagiarism:
- Ensure that you fully understand all of the original source text. This may require you to read it several times.
- Make notes of all of the points that you wish to repeat in your rewrite. Paraphrasing will seek to repeat all points but a summary may only repeat selected or the most important.
- Arrange those notes into a logical order for your own writing: this can be totally different to the original.
- Rewrite using only your notes and not looking back at the original.
- Compare the two texts and rewrite anything that has been unintentionally repeated.

The degree of difficulty in meeting

Auditing ISO 9001 can be a challenge for any auditor. Knowing where to look for help, tips, and advice can keep your skills fresh. The Auditing Practices Group (APG) is an excellent resource. This presentation will outline how the APG can assist auditors. It will also provide a wealth of
Sustaining Your QMS After the ISO 9001:2015 Transition
As organizations reach the deadline and complete the transition to ISO 9001:2015 you can hear a collective sigh of relief. However, as with an initial certification, most organizations struggle to sustain the implementation of their QMS during the first surveillance audit after a transition is complete. This session is focused
Sustainability of an Organization—Going Beyond ISO 9004
Sustaining the techniques to have widespread brand recognition and surpass competition is becoming more difficult as a result of constant changes in technology, customer needs and expectations, the global economy, and other ongoing fluctuations in the business sector. Even if you are best-in-class, there are others trying to achieve excellence.

Auditing Interconnections
All management systems standards invoke several references to related clauses—the High Level Structure guarantees these interconnections in ISO 9001:2015 and related sector-specific standards (automotive, aerospace, environmental, etc.). Auditing the organization's understanding and application of these interconnections creates a logical audit trail from strategic decisions to tactical accomplishments. This presentation will
Addressing the Differences Between ISO 13485:2003 and ISO 13485:2016
Are you prepared to address the differences between ISO 13485:2003 and ISO 13485:2016? With a greater emphasis on addressing regulatory requirements and using risk management to design your quality management system, ISO 13485:2016 has a new engine, but there are a lot of new and smaller moving parts as well.

You know those morning where you go to get up and every joint cracks as your body weight is lifted from the mattress and is supported by your skeleton?
Then you go to bend over to put your socks on and can't believe how far away your foot is.
When all you want is a cup of coffee with a little extra punch.
As you drink that coffee wondering, why in the world you played so hard all weekend to return to the work week exhausted and sore everywhere.
If you have experienced that type of morning it simply means it was a great weekend.
I am currently going through that right now and I am so happy to feel this rough. It means I spent the weekend making memories that will last a lifetime.
It means that I have a week of recovery before I ultimately will do it again next weekend.
Those mornings, for me, mean I am alive and feeling wonderful.
Here is a quick look at what we did all weekend as a family.
28 holes of disc golf
yard games
outdoor store closing sale hoping for a good deal
refreshing drinks on the porch
breakfast outdoors to start another day
our son making do with what we had while waiting for his new kayak to arrive
Add in a few not so fun chores, like oil changes and yard work and I would say it was a very productive and fun weekend. Finding time these days to spend as a family is hard. This particular weekend we did everything together and it was great.

Episode 3
Torrinda wakes, once again, drenched in sweat. He rolls over to a sitting position on his hammock. "How many?" He asks himself, rubbing his face with his hands. "How many nightmares is that now?" Drained and tired, his sleep – or lack thereof – has been filled with just that. Every time he closes his eyes he is greeted with gruesome scenes of his crewmates' demise by an unseen assailant. With dark circles and bags forming under his eyes, he looks up to the ceiling of his cabin, all of this getting to him.
"Damn you!" He yells. "Damn you and your soul stone…" He sighs and lays back down. Maybe, just maybe, this time won't be filled with a nightmare…
* * * * *
Tarnaa, keeping a watchful eye on Torr since the incident on the deck, fears something bad. Her primal, warrior, instincts telling her to not ignore this. She had silently waited for Torr to be relieved of his watch so she could wait outside his sleeping quarters in hopes of gather more information.
Now she has
Retracing back to her youth, and the stories and lectures there in, she remembers the warrior tales of such a stone, and wonders how he has come into contact with one and then the shades that hunt it. It looks like she will have to sharpen her sword for the inevitable battle that will take place…
* * * * *
In the mess hall, with the morning sun still making its way into the sky, through tears of bread, Tarnaa watches. Several tables down, and out of his sight, she ponders whether she should confront him or not… She takes the chance and walks over towards his table and sits behind him, her back turned to his.
"I like the way you handle your sword. It seems to come to you naturally…" Tarnaa comments. "Do you practice at night when no one is around?"
Torr, shocked that Tarnaa would even bother talking to him, turns slightly to regard her, his eyes still burning and tired from an unrestful slumber. He looks down at the weapon in question laying on top of the table, his hand touching the hilt. "I have been known to use it when needed… Behind this gangly frame is a seasoned war…"
The conversation comes to an abrupt end as the Captain makes his way through the mess hall catching Torr's attention. From the last conversation the two had had, the old sea dog has a sidelong glance, keeping the young man on the outskirts of his vision, the line of questioning bothering the captain more than he thought it would.
Torr's thoughts were not because the captain simply walked through the hall, but rather his eyes had focused on the captain's hip, or rather the double barrel pistol sitting on it. The gun itself is ordinary, but what catches his eye is the dark purple jewel embedded into its wood grain handle. Torr drops his biscuit from his left hand, his jaw slightly hanging open.
"Of course…" Torr whispers to himself, but not quiet enough, Tarnaa listening as well. "he would have it on him. That powerful a relic should not be left unattended." Not even bothering to dump his tray of food, Torr stands up, grabs his sword, and follows the captain out of the mess hall, a few steps behind.
Tarnaa, too, leaves her place at the table, following them both, her thoughts now churning inside her mind. She now wonders if and or how the captain might be involved in all of this…
Above the decks the captain, using his looking glass to survey the water's horizon looks back towards the helmsman.
"Aye, Mighty, take her port 'bout three degrees.."
"Morning cap'n." Torr, smiling as he walks up to the railing, calls. "Seas are looking calm today."
A little unnerved by the man following him around, rolls his good eye before turning to regard his first mate.
"AAaaRrrGGG, calm seas mean no damn wind…"
Torr nods and gazes out to the sea, his eyes keeping the jewel always in their sight. Without any filter whatsoever, he blurts out a question.
"Have you ever shot anyone cap'n?" He looks from the sea back over towards the man. "I mean… defeated.. other pirates? I noticed your pistol on your hip. It is a marvelous piece… May I hold it?"
Exactly what the wise captain had thought. Everything always comes back around to that damn jewel. He smirks at the question however.
"You little squid. You'll shoot your bloody eye out! Then you'll need a patch over it like me!"
Torr chuckles at the response, his eyes never leaving the jewel set in the weapon. "How did you get it? One of your famous booty hauls I bet?"
The captain sighs deeply and turns to face Torr squarely. Instead of telling him what he wants to know, he has ways of dealing with such a thing…
"I want ya to go inspect the hull of the ship. Start at the aft and then ye be goin' all the way to stern…looking for mice.."
Mice? This is a ship… It's probably full of mice. Torr thinks in his head. However, the captain has given him a direct order. "Yes, sir…" He reluctantly agrees and walks away, pondering how he is going to get that pistol away from the captain. So lost in his own thoughts, he doesn't even realize Huff has made her way over to him, the woman calling his name several times.
"Thor… Thor.. THOR!" She shouts. She shakes her head as he looks up to regard her. "Hey, can you get some palm trees and coconuts .. I need them for our outfits tonight. We are having a LU themed party! And also you will need to pick up some orchids for the leis, get ingredients for pina coladas, steal the captain's secret rum stash for them and then grab the ukulele playing monkey band…."
Torr, sinking back into his thoughts, nods his head blankly. "Yeah, sounds good…"
"Sounds good!?" Huff scoffs at Torr, his lack of respect when this party needs to be at its very best! "Sounds good!? Oh, no, no, no, no! That is only the beginning of my grandiose plans!" She cocks her head to the side. "…Err, Thor.. Why are you drooling, unbathed and have glassy eyes? …Thor… Just.. Just dont let me down…" She walks away, her mind racing over and over every fine detail.
"…Party would be good…" Torr suddenly states, a plan coming to fruition in his mind. "Everyone would be there …including the captain! Huff..! What kind of party…" His vision comes back into focus to find that the party planner has removed herself.
* * * * *
Torr is getting ready by he mirror, running the plan in his head over and over. He splashes water on his face and nods into his reflection in the mirror. "Tonight."
"Oh?" The same bone chilling voice asks, the very same from the night he was 'alone'. "What happens tonight?"
"I.. I will get what you have asked for." Torr replies, his heart beginning to race from the unannounced guest. "Tonight at the party."
"Party!?" The voice asks, surprised, then wounded. "I did not get an invitation.. I just happen to love parties. All those souls gathered in one place… You plan on taking Shimmergloom off your captain? What, with all those crewmates around you? What will you tell them when you are labeled as a thief and traitor?"
"I… I.." Torr tries to respond, but finds he has not even remotely thought about that scenario.
"Exactly. Now, look at me…"
Torr looks behind him and around the room, but no one is there and nothing is out of the ordinary.
"Here FOOL!"
Torr looks back into the mirror at his reflection, jumping back as it sneers before him!
"How?" Torr mutters, his heart ready to leap out of his throat. He feels the hairs stand up on the back of his neck again.
"It matters not." The voice answers. "I have changed my mind, mortal. I no longer holding you responsible for obtaining my jewel. Instead, I think I will attend this party after all. With or without an invitation!"
"But.." Torr, dumbfounded beyond comprehension begins to speak. He is unsure how a being from the shadow plane can exist in this world. "How?"
"Like this!" The image in the mirror suddenly reaches out to grab Torr's shoulders! In one quick motion Torr's vision shifts, everything the same, but backwards. The mocking laughter fills his cabin, Torr looking back at his reflection. "Get comfortable in there my FRIEND. It's going to be a KILLER party!"
Torr moves to grab the image, only to be blocked by the glass! He then realizes that he is the one trapped inside the mirror! He bangs on his side of the glass, the sound muffled, but with no other plan he continues to bang and call for anyone that could possibly hear him…
* * * * *
She slips further into the shadows as Torr exits his chambers. She moves to follow him, but something stops her. Tarnaa looks at Torr as he walks towards the stairs leading away from his cabin, her sixth sense telling her – no screaming at her – that something is terribly wrong! She waits for a few more seconds before she runs into Torr's quarters, the dimly lit room eerily still, the candles barely casting any light.
She perks up as a small, faint, thumping noise can be heard at the back of her conscience, the sound telling her that she is not alone. She walks over to the bowl full of water and dips her finger into the liquid to see that it is indeed water and that it is still warm.
She looks up at the mirror and quickly turns around seeing Torr has come back into the room, but yet there is no one behind her. As she turns to the mirror again, she now sees Torr in a new way; a trapped prisoner…
* * * * *
"…All ye now hush.. Ole Pirate is proposin' a toast. I wanna thank good ole Huffy for puttin' on a hell of a party… Although the grass skirt is ridin' up my… Anywho, ya done good girl, ya done good!" He raises his pina colada up to clink everyone else's glass and takes a large swig of the drink.
"Here, here!" 'Torr' toasts, a little too loudly. "I, too, would like to propose a toast. First off, to the crew." He smiles, a bit differently than what everyone is accustomed to. "Loyal, loyal crew… And to the CAPTAIN. Oh what adventures we have seen. Isn't that right, CAPTAIN?"
"What are ye goin' on about, boy?" The captain asks, his curiosity raised.
"Don't be coy, CAPTAIN.." 'Torr' continues. "Why don't you entertain us with one of your yarns, CAPTAIN.. Oh, I don't know. Maybe how you came across that jewel embedded into your pistol?"
It is at that moment that the captain realizes that Torr isn't Torr at all. The lad never calls him anything other than 'Cap'n'. "Who are you?"
'Torr' laughs and throws his drink down, the glass smashing on the hard wooden floor. "Why, CAPTAIN, it's me. Torrinda."
"He is not who he says he is!" Tarnaa shouts as she enters the ball room. She points to the impostor. "This, THING, is NOT Torrinda…"
'Torr' snears and growls, his cover blown in an instant.
"This, is the real Torrinda…" Tarnaa oves the mirror from behind her and holds it in front of her so everyone can see the trapped crewmate for themselves. "He is trapped!"
"He is.." 'Torr' states. "And every passing hour he will become less and less until he becomes a permanent resident in my realm of shadows, his soul twisted and broken for all eternity!" He laughs evilly, eyeing everyone. "So, CAPTAIN, I give you a choice. Give me what I want and I will go away. Plain and simple."
Tarnaa, placing the mirror on the refreshment table, itches to use her sword. She puts her hand on the hilt and takes a step closer, her knuckles turning white with the tight grip upon the weapon.
"Ease up there Xena…" 'Torr' threatens. "Remember, this is STILL Torr's body. Any wound you inflict on me will only cause irreparable harm to him. I would tell you all that I told your pathetic crew mate, but wait! I think good ole CAPTAIN could tell it better. What do you say, CAPTAIN, tell you crew what you have done to them!" 'Torr' cackles loudly and snaps his fingers, a dark dot forming before him. It begins to quiver and take shape, elongating into a wavy line of darkness. With both hands, he reaches into the tear and pulls it open slightly.
"I'll be seeing you!" He pulls it open further and slips inside, the tear vanishing almost instantly, Tarnaa just a few steps away, sword drawn and seething in anger.
"Oh, how rude of me." The voice echoes throughout the room, the candles' light slowly diminishing. "I left without giving you all a present.. After all, what kind of invitee would I be if I didn't get you all a little something!?" The voice laughs once again. "You are all in luck. It is a gift you ALL will enjoy!"
The flames begin to dance, the shadows cast around the room swaying back and forth until they begin to take shape! Slowly, one by one, the shadows take a step closer to the crewmates, the beings themself seemingly coming out from the walls.
"What in the nine hells is that!?" Someone in the back asks.
Tarnaa, closest to the first shadow, takes a swing, her finely crafted blade severing the shadow's head from its shoulders. The head falls to the floor and beings to grow another body! The one in front of her growing another head as well!! Feeling her trusted companion has failed her, she takes a step back, her eyes watching as more and more come from the walls.
Outnumbering the crew a full two to one, with more forming, the crewmates are all backed towards the refreshment table, the captain stepping forward to protect his crew. He draws out his pistol and fires, point blank, into the 'face' of a shadow, only to see the bullets split the head in half! It struggles and sways to the left, then back to the right. As it sways to the right, the other side pulls in the opposite direction tearing the shadow in half to form two!
An arrow whizzes passed the captain's ear and takes one newly formed shadow right in the face, the streaking arrow head blowing through to hit two more standing behind it. When the projectile hits the wall, it buries itself up the the fletch.
Everyone looks back at the origin of the arrow seeing the woman letting go of another shot, its tip sparkling as it catches the candle light.
"Mejoltman!!" Everyone gasps. They stop and stare as the shadows who were hit fall to the ground in a pile of ash. As they do, a candle burns a little brighter.
The second arrow hits home and drops two more shadows, their bodies dropping into piles of ash, just like the previous ones she had hit. Again, another candle in the room begins to glow more brightly, the remaining shadows hesitant to take any more action.
An arrow sizzles in.
Two more drop.
Mejoltman looks over towards Alex, the two of them nearly sharing the same idea. They have been around each other for so long that they can almost think what the other one is thinking. Not quite telepathy, but something very similar.
They both come to the same conclusion of using fire as a weapon. She nods to the burly man and he takes off, leaving them as he exits the room. The shadows begin to merge together, their images overlapping each other until they form one large, imposing image! Mejo fires an arrow into its face, but the image snatches it up and out of thin air with the two arms it has formed.
"Ok than…" She states. The thing snaps the shaft in two and throws it to the ground. She fires again and again, the arrows leaving and appearing in her hands as if they never move, the projectiles keeping the shadow ducking, dodging and parting so to not get hit. "Now what?"
Alex suddenly arrives back into the room and sets a keg of oil down on the floor. With a small throwing axe he cracks the keg apart, the head of his weapon covered in the syrupy substance. This plan cannot have any mistakes or else the whole ship will go down in flames. He grabs Tarnaa's sword from her hands and wipes the blade with an oil soaked rag, the man squeezing the oozing liquid down to the weapon's hilt. He tosses it back to her and grabs a candle from the table, the flame igniting the sword in an angry blaze.
Seeing the new weapon, the shadow roars in outrage and takes a step forward.
An arrow hits it high in the shoulder.
Than another. And another.
"Now!" Mejo roars to Tarnaa, her arrows nearly depleted. "I will keep it distracted for you!"
With a battle cry, Tarnaa sprints towards the shadow with her flaming sword held high, both hands gripping the weapon's hilt. She brings it down right as the shadow's arm tries to block the blow.
It severs clean through above the wrist, the arm falling on the floor.
A painful roar escapes the shadow, the candles flickering with the intensity. Tarnaa looks up to the thing is it begins to reach out and grab her, its fingers dangerously close…
Another, Mejo's last arrow, buries itself into the shadow's arm making it retrace a step. Tarnaa wastes no time and swings her mighty sword again, the flames tearing through the previous limb, this time hacking it at the elbow. The ease of the swing, however, puts her off balance, exposing her to an attack from the side…
Alex, his axe burning brightly, hurls his weapon at the shadow, the weapon hitting the shadow in the face, the flames licking at the shadow, disintegrating it as it eats away.
Thankful for the save, Tarnaa grips her sword tightly and swings upward, the flaming tip tearing upward from hip to shoulder. As her momentum plays out, she side steps and continues her sword around and back through the waist of the thing, the image falling down slowly, the body snowing ash upon the ground…
"What was all that about?" Huff asks, drinking the last of her delicious pina colada.
Alex, picking up his no longer flaming axe, watches Mejo pick up her arrows, the heads made of something different than your average wood or stone. He looks over towards the shocked captain and nods.
"I think it's time you told them…"
The captain takes a deep, steadying breath and looks into the faces of his beloved crew. "I think it's time I tell ye all somethin' I thought I'd never have to retell again…"
The captain tells the crew the story of how he came to obtain Shimmergloom, holding up the jeweled pistol for all to see. "I feel I have let ye all down… For that, Pirate apologizes. If ye be wantin' to leave when we make port, I won't be blaming ye. Ye can leave, no questions asked…"
They shake their heads, a crewmate walking up from the crowd. "We'll follow ya captain.."
"Witchy, aye lass, that ya will… Your a good wench!" Captain replies, glad to have such a loyal crew.
"To hell and…" Witchy states, a portion of the shadow Tarnaa had cut off has inched its way onto the crewmate's shoulder. As the chilling touch enters her body, she opens her mouth to scream, but no sound comes out! Instead her skin turns pale, so pale that it is nearly gray! Before any one can react, she falls to the ground in a pile of ash..
Tarnaa, looking at the pile in disbelief, now realizes how close she had come to the same, horrible fate. She looks back at Mejo and Alex, silently thanking them with a nod of her head.
"Wait." Huffy comments, everyone turning to regard her holding up the mirror that Torrinda is still trapped in. "What are we gonna do with this? How do we get Thor out?" She sets the mirror up so it is propped up, Torr glad that most of them made it through this insane ordeal. He looks to them all and bags on his side of the mirror.
"Break it?" Alex suggests. "Will that work?" He uses the butt end of his axe, the weapon coming down upon the glass, but when it comes into contact, the mirror doesn't break. Instead it ripples, black smoke rolling like a rock thrown into a still pond, and transfers back the force applied, sending Alex crashing back into the wall, his body slamming hard and slips down. "Nevermind that idea…"
Torr looks on and frowns…

Asthma linked to higher pre-eclampsia risk
Pregnant women may be more likely to suffer with the dangerous condition, pre-eclampsia, if they have asthma, a new study has found.
With pre-eclampsia, a woman's blood pressure can reach dangerously high levels and protein is present in her urine. The condition tends to occur during the second half of a pregnancy and it usually resolves once the baby is delivered.
Major problems arise if the condition develops early in the pregnancy, as decisions then have to be made on whether to deliver the baby prematurely.
Swedish researchers set out to examine the link between asthma in pregnancy and pregnancy/delivery outcomes. They studied data on more than one million births to over 700,000 women between 2001 and 2013. Some 10% of the babies born during this period had a mother with asthma.
The study found that women with asthma were more likely to suffer with pre-eclampsia.
"Four percent of all pregnant women develop pre-eclampsia, however we found that the risk of pre-eclampsia is 17% higher in women with asthma compared to women without asthma," noted the study's lead author, Dr Gustaf Rejnö, of the Karolinska Institutet.
The researchers also found that women with asthma were more likely to have shorter pregnancies, underweight babies, instrumental deliveries and caesarean sections.
These complications could not be explained by hereditary or environmental factors.
"It seems to be the asthma per se that causes these complications. This means that well-controlled asthma during pregnancy could reduce the relative incidence of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. In an earlier study, we saw that this was indeed the case," Dr Rejnö said.
Details of these findings are published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.

We share these protocols in the hope of upskilling the entire industry and creating shared guidelines on reducing risk of re-ruptures in change of direction running sports. We highly recommend you see a Sports Physiotherapist with experience in ACL rehabilitation to individualise your program
Getting you back in the game
Our protocols are created using worldwide best practice, recent evidence from trusted sources and universities, as well as close collaboration with Melbourne's best orthopaedic surgeons & physiotherapists who work in elite sports.
*All of the following criteria are not to be taken as advice, as individual athletes, surgeries, graft types etc differ. The sports that athletes want to return to also vary in requirements.
ACL return to run requirements to reduce risk of re-rupture for straight line, no change of direction running:
- max distance single leg hop = 40% of height
- Patient reported confidence during max single leg hop= "confident"
- Diagonal bounding quality of movement left to right for 10m= "very good"
- High quality of movement single leg squat to box x10
- High quality of movement single leg arabesque x10
- Strength : quads= single-leg leg press = 80% of BW, Hamstrings single leg glute bridges x20
NOTE- In the majority of commonly used surgical techniques, the bone tunnels that are drilled take between 8-12 weeks to heal to a satisfactory level for running forces. We DO NOT recommend a purely tick-box/ progression based rehab when returning to run. Time for healing is very important at this stage! *Discuss with an experienced Physiotherapist.
- Triple crossover hop = min 100% of unaffected side (limb symmetry index)
- Max distance single leg hop = 100% of unaffected side
- Isokinetic muscle testing quads and hamstrings 98% of unaffected side @ 60 and 180 deg s
- Triple hop (limb symmetry index >98%)
- Running T test (<11sec)
- Appropriate load management return to game intensity (eg 20 mins, 35 mins, 60mins, 70 mins, 80 mins)
If you have had an ACL repair, and have not addressed the following vital (generalised) principles of rehab before returning to training, please call an Optimus Health Physiotherapist to discuss:
- Single leg strength compared to bodyweight
- Hopping on two legs
- Hopping on one leg
- Triple hops
- Triple crossover hops
- Single leg max distance hops
- Bounding
- 20x single leg bridges
- 20x single leg squats to box
Please call for a FREE discussion with an Optimus Physiotherapist. We have physios who regularly oversee ACL return to run programs in collaboration with Personal Trainers, Strength & Conditioning coaches and other Physiotherapists.
More information on Physiotherapy can be found at the Australian Physiotherapy Association website.

The Ocean Project
We are an unprecedented initiative that intends to create in people a lasting, measurable awareness of the importance, value, and sensitivity of the ocean. We believe that the single greatest impediment to healthy and productive marine and coastal areas is the public's low level of ocean awareness.
Through this collaboration among aquariums, zoos, science, technology, and natural history museums, and other educational institutions that together serve more than 200 million visitors each year, The Ocean Project aims to significantly increase the success of ocean conservation. The Ocean Project seeks to complement and build upon the work of existing institutions and organizations. We also collaborate with local, regional, and national nonprofit conservation and environmental organizations to actively involve people in conservation activities in their communities and better connect them to the ocean.

text: Sherry Tallon, CJ Samples, and I braved some very cold weather up a snow and ice covered dirt road for some photos last week. The wind was gusty to perhaps 20 miles per hour, and the temperature was about 38 degrees F. We had to engage (or dis-engage?) the anti-skid function on the trusty Scion XB to make it to the hiking-in point. We then lugged a wedding dress, tuxedo, camera, tripod, lightstand, flashes, dress shoes and more through the snowy trail. Once on the cliff face area, the rocks were ice covered and provided no level area to stand; this was a good area to slip and break a leg, and not in the theatrical sense! Sherry posed like a true professional and was un-complaining despite the bitter wind, slippery rocks and very real danger of hypothermia. CJ was just the same – although he had at least a wool tuxedo jacket to wear, his shoes were quite slippery and the rest of the wear far too thin for the elements. Still - we made it - and we each think the pix came out okay. .What do you think?

Art in Review
By KAREN ROSENBERG
Published: May 15, 2009
55 Chrystie Street, near Hester Street, Lower East Side
Through June 7
Carrie Moyer's abstract paintings are getting stronger and, as the title of her third solo show at this gallery suggests, more mysterious. Combinations of opaque and translucent layers tease the eye, as do forms that recall the famous vase-profile illusion.
In the front gallery a group of canvases explores stacked, tripartite figures that bring to mind a game of exquisite corpse. The one in ''Rebus'' has a harp for a torso and a pair of breasts where the head should be.
Dada and Surrealist associations become more explicit in ''Ballet M?nique,'' titled after the percussive 1924 performance conceived by the painter Fernand L?r and the composer George Antheil. (Oddly, it looks more like the collages of Hans Arp than anything by L?r.)
Larger canvases in the back room approach abstraction from all angles and nationalities and from both sexes, associating freely with the artists in Alfred Stieglitz's circle, W.P.A.-era murals and midcentury Color Field painting. Feminist art of the 1970s is part of the mix, though less prominent here than in Ms. Moyer's earlier works.
The ''arcane'' element has less to do with the origins of these forms than with how they are veiled and masked. Prismatic glazes, mixed with glitter and sometimes poured or swirled together, can be glimpsed through openings in a field of dark purplish-brown. And red strings pass between the various levels of the painting, inviting Kabbalistic study. KAREN ROSENBERG

When it comes to being a parent, you always are excited to celebrate the milestones in your child's life. Let's take a step back though and reflect on the milestones of making YOU a parent! I'm talking about the celebrations that come before and during parenthood that let you show your style and favorite themes or ideas.
Baby Shower invitations are no longer boring. Birth Announcements are truly one of a kind. Then comes the First Birthday, a time to let the first year of parenthood shine through something special. Let's be honest, a one year old won't remember their birthday, but everyone who joined in, will. Make a statement from the very start with amazing, custom, one of a kind, invitations from Basic Invite. To be honest, they are basic to make, but not basic in quality or features!
Some of the amazing features you can choose from:
- Flat or folded cards
- Add a personal photo
- Large variety of colors
- Fonts galore
- Different types of paper stock
- Order a custom sample
- Envelopes for each card with every order
- Amazing customer support and chat options
Before your little sweet pea even arrives, you have chosen a theme. It may be just the theme of the Baby Shower or it may be the theme of their nursery as well. You can take favorite colors or themes and weave them in to something spectacular with the options they offer for Baby Shower Invitations. They even have some darling ideas for gender reveal parties! We did one and it was so much fun for everyone to participate.
Your baby has arrived! How exciting! Are you doing a meet and greet with the locals? You can create an invitation for that. Either way, you will want to show off that new bundle of joy, even more so to the family who may not be able to visit for a bit. Creating a one of a kind birth announcement is a great way to show off some of your newborn photos and highlight the birth stats. So many will frame these or hang them on their fridge! Using a personal photo is a MUST for this monumental announcement!
Parenting is tiring. A whirlwind of "Where did the time go?" is often realized when your little tiny baby who you just seemed to have given birth to, is about to turn one! That First Birthday, may be more for you than the little one, but either way it is something you will cherish forever. Make the perfect First Birthday Invitations to match the theme of the party with Basic Invite. Pirates? Ahoy Matey! Dinosaurs? Rawr! The options are endless and always unique to what you want to showcase for your child's big milestone. This is another invitation you will certainly want to choose photos! The selection options are amazing and yet another card that the relatives will cherish in their collection once you share your favorite photos.
The ease of creating something so special is a value all in itself. The way you can sort through the areas of the website to choose for a boy or girl, flat or folded, and if you can add photos or not. You will have too much fun designing the perfect invitations for every important moment. Let's not rush their childhood but when the time comes, Basic Invite also has Graduations and Weddings covered! Cherish these moments, they go so fast. Remember to always order a few extra for your keepsakes and scrap books!

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Saying Pope Francis is following the situation with concern, the Vatican named a Colombian bishop to be the trustee of the scandal-plagued Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, a Catholic movement based in Peru.
The Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life appointed Bishop Noel Londono Buitrago of Jerico, Colombia, trustee of the group, the Vatican press office announced Jan. 10.
Pope Francis, the statement said, "has followed with concern all the information that for years has arrived at the congregation" about the movement founded by Luis Fernando Figari. In 2017, Sodalitium leaders released a report acknowledging that Figari sexually, physically and psychologically abused minors, teen and young adult members of the movement.
Pope Francis "insistently requested" the congregation to act, the statement said, adding that he had been "particularly attentive to the gravity of the information regarding the (movement's) internal regime, the formation" process members went through and the financial operations of the group.
Those concerns, along with a Peruvian court's request that Figari be jailed pending a criminal investigation into allegations of sexual and psychological abuse, led to the congregation's decision to name a trustee to assume control of the movement, the statement said. Figari apparently is living in Rome; in the first weeks of 2017, the Vatican informed Sodalitium leaders that Figari had been ordered to remain in Rome and not have any contact with the organization or give interviews to the media.
The Code of Canon Law says a trustee is named "in special circumstances and where grave reasons require it."
In the Jan. 10 announcement, the Vatican also said Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, will continue to be the Vatican's delegate in its relationship with the Sodalitium, particularly regarding economic questions. The cardinal was named delegate in 2016 after a report drafted by an internal Sodalitium ethics commission painted Figaro as an abusive dictator who controlled and manipulated teens and young adults, enjoying a life of "personal privilege" while forcing rigorous austerity on others.
The ethics committee called for the "public repudiation" of Figari's behavior and immediate assistance to abuse victims. It also urged the Vatican to sanction Figari and place Sodalitium under the leadership of "people from outside its current organizational structure."
On the Sodalitium website, under "founder," the following is written: "Due to the recent news about the accusations against our founder, we have removed the information from this section."
The Sodalitium has members in Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, Italy and the United States.
Locally, Sodalitium members operate St. Agatha-St. James Parish in University City, Philadelphia. The parochial administrator of the parish is Father Carlos Keen, and seven religious brothers of the order reside with him in the parish rectory.

However, black and black-and-white cats made up 45% of the total cats coming into Cats Protection's care during 2015, and on average, took 22% longer to find a home than cats of other colours.
For centuries, black cats have played an important role in superstition, mythology and folklore – with many of these superstitions continuing to this very day.
In fact, in a survey conducted by Cats Protection in 2015, it was found that, rather than dying out, some myths about black cats being unlucky have some currency with young people. Twelve percent of those surveyed aged 18-24 said that black cats were unlucky, while only 2 per cent of over 55 year old people did.
Petplan takes a look at the origins of black cat superstitions and separates the myths from the facts.
