Default Ike from Super Smash Bros for WiiU.
model has finger, clothes, headband, and cape posing.
It does not have mouth and eye posing, but it does have the option to switch between mouth poses
by picking head bodygroups. his cape can be removed by picking the BLANK bodygroup for the cape.
sword is included as a seperate model
Also.... he fights for his friends...
I thought it was Guts from Berserk at first
hey where is that weiss comes from?
yeah actually, super curious about that Weiss model you keepin it a private release or...?
Weiss is still a WIP. like technically i could release her, but she has no facial animation possibilities, or even face bodygroup options... so I'm not sure what to do with her....
Fire Emblem and Berserk, now that would be an interesting crossover. Maybe,
I know there were RWBY models for GMOD that were able to be ported to SFM. However, the actual models had several VERY noticeable kinks on the fingers, and in Yang's case on her thigh. While they had (limited) facial animation, the biggest problem was the bad topography on all their faces which made their features look horrible with AO / Lighting. If this Weiss is without the topography problems, that would be sweet.
weiss had very noticable seams and split lines in various places, but I fixed all of those, and I have been working on creating bodygroup face poses for her instead. she'll have 12, if SFM allows me to give her that many... (if not I'll cheat it)
I fight for my friends.
For some reason I just get an error.

Recent studies showed that the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system, is severely damaged. In fact, a leading environmentalist/writer Rowan Jacobsen said that the reef in Australia passed away in 2016.
But now marine biologist Johnny Gaskell has made a significant discovery. Gaskell discovered a giant blue hole in the famous reef and recently he dived 65 feet down into the hole and found out stunning healthy coral colonies. This is a rare discovery, especially, when the environmentalists said that one of the natural wonders of the world was severely damaged by the climate change.
"This Blue Hole has previously been described by geologists who suggested it could be even older than the famous Great Blue Hole, in Belize," Gaskell wrote on his Instagram post and shared a photo of the blue hole. "Its location is in one of the least explored parts Great Barrier Reef, over 200km from Daydream Island. To get there we had to travel overnight for 10 hours and time the tides perfectly... Was well worth it!"

A new California law will expand disclosure requirements of real estate brokers.
Starting January 1, 2015, California real estate agency disclosure requirements that now apply only to residential sales and leases of more than one year will apply also to commercial sales and leases. Practically, this means that not only will licensed real estate brokers and their associates in residential transactions have to reveal in writing which side they represent, but also those agents in commercial deals will have to do the same.
In a nutshell, California real estate law now requires that a residential listing or selling agent give a very specific agency disclosure form to the seller and to potential buyers. The timing of document delivery is also set out in detail in the statutes. In almost all situations, a signed acknowledgement of disclosure form receipt must be obtained.
The disclosure form explains that a broker can represent a seller alone, a buyer alone, or both at the same time, known as dual agency. The form explains that dual agency is only legal in a real estate transaction if both the seller and the buyer understand and consent to the arrangement.
The form also sets out the legal duties and obligations of real estate brokers in each of these situations so that potential buyers or lessees and sellers or lessors understand where the agents' professional loyalties lie.
Historically, the need for such disclosures grew from concern that brokers would have conflicts of interest when they represented both sides in real estate deals. Such laws attempt to give notice to the involved parties of the brokers' loyalties and legal duties concerning disclosure and good faith. Without an understanding of the brokers' interests (including self-interests), an unsophisticated party to a transaction could walk away without the best deal that could have been negotiated should a broker have acted in bad faith.
On the flip side, such a disclosure form requirement also protects a real estate broker from later being accused of not having been up front about potential conflicts of interest, since it was all set out in black and white.
As of January 1, 2015, these requirements will also apply to commercial real estate sales and commercial leases at least one year long. The legislative reports issued while the bill was being debated reveal that the original reasoning behind only requiring such disclosure forms in residential situations was that commercial parties were considered more "sophisticated."
However, the legislators considered that in fact commercial parties entering into leases, purchases or sales are not necessarily business savvy in matters of real estate, nor do they always have equal bargaining power with real estate brokers who may represent large commercial property companies. The example given in one of the legislative reports of disparity in bargaining power is that of a small business owner who leases an office from a large, sophisticated commercial landlord.
The bill was officially supported by organizations representing merchants and small businesses and was opposed by the California Association of Realtors. It passed both houses of the California legislature with very few votes against it.
It is important to remember, however, that whether a sale or lease is being considered in 2014 before the expansion of disclosure requirements to commercial brokers or after the new law takes effect, anyone party to such a transaction would be wise to obtain legal counsel from an experienced California real estate attorney. Legal counsel can assist a buyer, lessee, seller or lessor with meeting legal requirements in the transaction; reviewing and drafting official documents; negotiating with the other side; advising about pros and cons of a particular deal; and more.

Dr. White graduated magna cum laude from Yale University with a joint BS-MS in biology in 1993. He completed his PhD in developmental biology at Stanford University in 1998. He has attracted numerous awards including NIH Genome Scholar in 2000, and Pritzker Fellow in 2006. His lab studies the coordinated action of networks of genes that control developmental and evolutionary processes. His work has a particular focus on building genome-wide models of transcriptional networks, using integrated approaches and multidimensional data. He is now applying his systems biology skills to create clinical genomic solutions.

Luke Temple is one of those guys you can't help but get along with in the moto paddock, but he has a bit of a secret affliction, an addiction to all things Kawasaki…
Words and Pics: Mat
If you've ever had a mate who passed all his exams at school without studying while you sweated blood over cram sessions, well, that kid is kind of Luke in the moto paddock.
Instead of building his way up the ladder of power, Luke graduated straight from juniors to the big leagues when he bought his first KX450F, but it was the old KX500 that stuck in his mind…
There is an unmistakable allure to the big 500cc, 2-strokes of the 90s.
Maybe it is the huge expansion pipes, the blocky plastics, or maybe it's the insane power. Whatever it is, Luke Temple is a man who lives the KX500 life, but getting his own example of the mighty KX wasn't without its challenges.
"I've been wanting to build a KX500 for a few years now," Luke says. "But every time a decent one popped up, I always found an excuse why I shouldn't buy it."
That bad attitude wasn't to last though, and it wasn't long before a bike popped up that Luke couldn't say 'no' to.
"Earlier this year, around March, I found a really good clean 2000 KX500 that came out of California, and I finally just decided I should get it or it would never happen; you only live once, right? Next thing I know it's in my garage."
With our winter slightly soggier than normal this year, it gave Luke plenty of time to fettle the big 2-stroke thumper back to perfection.
The Build
"Slowly over winter, I spent my days looking for every aftermarket part I could get my hands on and even had some custom parts made. I got in touch with Sean Collier in America, who put me in touch with the team who built the KX500 that he won the 2-stroke Nationals with at Glenn Helen."
Along with the special custom touches, Luke also raided his more modern Kawasaki parts bin.
Incredibly, even with 17 years between the heroes of the Kawasaki dirt range, the air forks from a 2017 KXF450, bolt right up to the existing KX500 triple clamps; so naturally, they went on – along with most of the KX450F front end, including the far more modern brake discs, with Luke rebuilding the stock KX500 calipers using new KX450F internals.
The wheels also were pinched from the KX450F, but considering the standard KX500 axle is an 18mm unit and those on the new bikes are up around 25mm, Warp 9 Racing in America was called and they made up the necessary spacers to ensure the rear wheel would fit.
The rear wheel also required a custom brake disc as well, which Warp 9 also made for Luke's project.
While the front end is completely up to date, the stock rear shock has surprisingly been left in place – mainly due to the fact it tapers downward with just enough space to suit the exhaust – but Luke had a card up his sleeve to get more value out of the 17-year old shock.
He gave Mark Patterson Suspension a call and instructed them to throw every aftermarket RaceTech component at it they could.
The result is a bike that actually rides pretty well, according to Luke, and going by his performance at the Sand Prix, he isn't lying!
While the engine is mostly stock, Luke has ensured it's ready to take a good fang with a fresh piston, rings and a full aftermarket exhaust.
The only true modification surprisingly doesn't produce any extra power, but instead makes the beast easier to kick over. Remember, this is a bike from a time when real men kicked their bikes to get them going.
"I've had an auto decompression diaphragm added to the head, which feeds off the vacuum created from the reed valve."
This little mod makes the big 500 kick-over like a 125, and it's hilarious to think that it is, essentially, a valve off a Briggs and Stratton lawnmower.
"The only other engine mod is the one-piece clutch cover that I have cut off, I've had a space plate machined up and attached my 450 Hinson clutch cover. This looks cool, and now I can get at the clutch easily."
Finishing off the build was the obligatory graphics upgrade, which Cam Huggins from DB Graphics made up, while DR Trim in Morrinsville recovered the seat to match Luke's 450F.
But we don't spend all that time in the shed just to sit back and admire what we've put together, we build bikes to get them dirty – and Luke is no exception.
The Ride
"Once the bike was built up, I rode it at Mercer at a practice day, thinking the bike would suck. It would look and sound cool, but ride like a bike would have done in the 90s.
"To my delight, it actually rode really well – nowhere near a modern 450, but pretty good nonetheless.
"Once the Mercer Sand Prix came along I thought, 'why not have some fun and ride the 500 instead?' I'm a bit past the days of racing nationals and trying to get good results. Nowadays, I ride for fun, so I thought: 'why not race the 500?' I ended up doing really well on the old girl and came home in 5th."
Not bad for a bike based on a design first penned in the early 80s.
But the coolest thing about this bike is the number of people that come up and drool over it. It seems everyone – no matter their age or background – can appreciate the old 2-stroke Kawasaki.
"It must be a nostalgia thing or something, but people just love to look at it," explains Luke, and we'd have to agree.

Painting 101
By Susan Belcourt
It seems like spring is a great time to freshen up rooms, and painting is an easy, rather inexpensive tool to make a room look better. I'd like to give you some very basic principles concerning painting. After you have painted for awhile, you will get your own groove. BUT there are basic principles that don't ever change, that will give you a better finished product.
The first thing I would suggest when you are considering painting a room is that you do the prep work well. Take a look at the walls and see if you need to use a good spackling product to fill any nail holes or gouges, or repair areas that might have had water damage. Let the repaired area dry, sand lightly, and retexture, if necessary. Then, you should apply primer, and you will be ready to paint. If there are some signs of water damage, but you know the leak has been fixed, make sure you spray or paint that area with a Kilz product to seal the stain "in." Otherwise that old stain will bleed through your fresh coat of latex paint.
Also, you need to make sure your walls are clean. If you have an area that is "greasy," scrub with a product call TSP (found in hardware stores). Such areas also probably need a coat of Kilz sealer. This is another area where preparation is key.
If you are a novice painter, here are some pointers that will help you enjoy painting! Buy the very best brush you can afford. It makes a world of difference while you are painting, as well as in the finished product. You will need a small trim brush that fits in your hand and perhaps a 3-4 inch brush that will help brush corners and areas that you cannot get in with your roller. The key to keeping a good brush good is to clean it well after each use. While you are using it, you can always wrap it in saran wrap or a plastic bag (sealed well) and put it in the fridge to be ready to use again, even the next day. But when you are done, or even sometimes if you have a lot of edging to do and paint has "filled" your brush head, it is best to thoroughly clean your brush before your next painting time. I like to clean them with soap and water and I have a "brush comb" that cleans in between the bristles. (A kitchen fork works well for this, too!) If you have let it go too long, you can heat a cup of white vinegar in the microwave and put your brush in the jar….only up to where the bristles are secured in the brush handle. Let sit until vinegar is cool, then, rewash. It is amazing how well that will revive a brush.
Buy the best roller you can. Anyone at the paint store will generally be able to direct you to the proper roller for the type of wall you have- smooth, light texture, heavy texture. It does make a difference. I always wrap my rollers between days of painting, and depending on how much I have paid for them, often wash them. Sometimes, they will be good enough for another painting job AND always are good enough for me to use to stain my deck every summer! Think recycle!
If you are new to painting, consider using tape to protect woodwork, etc. NOT MASKING TAPE. Horrors, you'll have much more work! Use the blue painter's tape, or the Froggy Green Tape for those issues. Be prepared to pull the tape soon after you've painted. Clean any paint that has seeped by the take!
Always, always paint with a wet rag nearby. It makes me crazy when I see people who have painted a room and did not tape or have a wet rag nearby. You see painting mistakes on ceilings, or worse yet, ceiling tiles. You see paint dabs on cabinets, paint on mirror edges, paint on tile, and paint on mop boards…..ALL can be prevented with a little forethought. BE ALERT and wipe while it's still wet.
Remove electrical plates and cover the outlets with tape. Again, so easy to be painting and "oops!" hit the outlet. But if you covered them with tape, they are paint free when the job is done! Do the same for lights in the ceiling. You can either tape the edges of the light, or better yet, drop the light housing down. When you put it back, the edges will be paint free!
It goes without saying to cover your floor/carpet and any furniture in a room that you cannot remove. The quality of paint is so much better than 20 years ago, concerning "splatter," but you will STILL have some! Your hair, face and that sofa you did not cover will be "textured!" Take a few minutes to cover those areas.
Use of primers- Today, many paints have a primer in the paint. However, if you have new drywall or areas that have been spackled or are covering a dark color, I would suggest using a primer, before you apply the paint. You can actually tint your primer close to the paint color you've selected so your paint will cover better, and the old color will not show through the paint. (For instance if you are covering a deep red with a light beige, tint your primer close to your paint color and it will give a great base coat.) With that idea, sometimes you can get away with one coat of paint, because the primer has sufficiently covered the dark paint.
When buying paint, buy the best quality you can. There are always good sales in the spring. Sherwin Williams often has 30-40% off their paints. I like Pittsburgh Paint, and Menard's has good sales on this product. Although there are "general" suggestions for the type of paint finish for bedrooms, bathroom, kitchens, entryways, etc., it does somewhat depend on your preference. (Finishes include flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss and gloss.) Anything with a shine(gloss or semi-gloss) will highlight any defect on your wall. We often see these two types of paint in bathrooms and kitchens. At one time, they were the only finishes that were washable, so people used them in those rooms. I prefer matte or eggshell in most of my rooms and satin in bathroom. Eggshell finish has a nice warm feeling and doesn't show the "trouble" spots on drywall that you cannot change.
Choosing a paint color is not always an easy task. It should be easy, but when you try finding that perfect color, you will be inundated with 50 colors (that call themselves beige, greige, latte, ocean breeze!) to choose from. I have found it much easier to "pick a color" if I am using a piece of fabric from my sofa, curtains, bedspread, etc. BUT, just know that isn't always how it happens. So…be prepared to get many color swatches …and PICK A COLOR! J Sales personnel in better paint stores can certainly help you select a "neutral" without any undertones if you are really struggling with selection. Use those people.
If possible, set aside a good portion of a day to prepare and paint. Interruptions are not very forgiving when painting. If you have to "quit" for a bit to tend to something, "quit" in a corner! Be careful when painting not to go back over an area that you just painted a few minutes ago. Sometimes you can actually lift the paint off and the "finish" will be affected. Some experts suggest an "up and down" motion with a roller and long handle so you can reach near the ceiling and paint all the way down to the mopboards; others like a "W" motion, where you lay on paint in a "W" and then paint over. The key really is to keep your roller wet; don't "over-roll," and be consistent. I like to paint left to right, but maybe because I am right-handed. Just have a plan!
Painting a room is a relatively easy task. Don't fear painting to improve a room. Again, there are several ladies in the church who have experience in painting. Don't hesitate to ask. Some might even come over and help! Happy Spring!

This study will examine how 'soft facts' (rumours / conspiracy theories / ideological propaganda / false news) attached to security events influence individual and collective behaviours, and what are the most effective counter-measures for managing their consequences.
Soft facts are pliable and malleable communications that can be counter-posed with 'hard facts', and are information whose provenance, authority and validity is uncertain or challengeable. The analysis will attend in particular to how soft facts steer and shape perceptions and experiences of security at individual, group and institutional levels, in both online and offline settings. In addition, it will assess the efficacy of both formal and more informal interventions to manage and mitigate any negative social impacts associated with their communication.
Informed by empirical data derived from social media materials collected by the project team since 2013, the research will utilise a comparative case study design. The available datasets comprise extensive and rich material on social reactions to several terrorist attacks across Europe and other materials where police and other security actors have sought to manage crime rumours, propaganda, conspiracy theories and false news.
This focus reflects a growing awareness and concern amongst policy-makers and practitioners about how the community impacts of terrorism and other major crime events, are frequently amplified as a result of rumours, deliberately generated 'false news' and conspiracy theories. There is interest also in how such effects can be countered through deploying artfully constructed counter-narratives.
Project findings will be of interest to scholars and practitioners with expertise in the security domain, where it has been increasingly recognised how rumours and other forms of soft fact can have a material influence upon security situations. In addition, there is likely to be a wider constituency of interest following the Brexit referendum and US Presidential election campaigns. However, typically such discussions rely upon isolated or 'cherry picked' instances. The particular contribution that this study will make is in interrogating these issues through a systematic and structured, conceptually informed framework, to generate new empirical evidence and insight.

I'D love more rain, but unless the word 'firm' is somewhere in the going description, both Truckers Tavern and Streamstown are almost certain runners in the Tommy Whittle Chase.
It could be a very hot race indeed at Haydock. A lot of trainers need to get runs into their horses.
Streamstown is owned by Haydock Park. He has run well there in the past and the racecourse suits him.
My conditional jockey Neil Mulholland will ride. He doesn't get a weight allowance because the Tommy Whittle is a conditions race, but he will get three pounds in the Welsh National on December 27.
Streamstown is currently priced at about 33-1 f or the Chepstow handicap race.
Streamstown picked up a tendon injury when coming ninth in the Grand National in 2002, and ran only once last season on Hennessy day at Newbury. He's a very tough individual indeed, and I'm over the moon with him.
My stable jockey Davy Russell will be on board Truckers in the Tommy Whittle, even if Ballinclay King runs in the Tripleprint Chase at Cheltenham on the same
afternoon, though that looks increasingly unlikely unless the ground conditions ease.
Truckers pleased me a lot with his fourth place over hurdles at Haydock's last meeting, and he should have a great chance on Saturday.
Elsewhere on the card, I'm sending out another of my Grand National hopefuls Luzcadou in the two mile six furlong hurdle. If you'd told me that he'd run against Rhinestone Cowboy, you could have knocked me over with a feather! I never saw them clashing. Luzcadou ran well enough over the Grand National fences last month at Aintree, and I want to give him another race now.
* The next meeting at Haydock Park is on December 13 - first race 12.05pm. Admission is £7 to the Newton Enclosure, £14 to Tattersalls, £23 to the County Enclosure, and £35 to the Premier Enclosure on the top floor of the Centenary Grandstand. Accompanied children under 16 enter free. Senior citizens and students, with appropriate identification, enter Tattersalls and the Newton Enclosure at half price.

A Traditional & Vibrant Vibe!10:52:00
Lehenga is my absolute favourite ethnic-wear; I'd choose it over anything including saris. What I enjoy the most though is customizing the entire outfit right from fabric shopping to planning the design. I'd been wanting to get a raw silk lehenga for the longest time ever and of course it had to be a bright colour. Given how rich raw silk as a fabric looks, I wanted the lehenga to be more or less simple with just some gold work at the bottom. Speaking of the blouse, I got this sequinned gold one stitched as a versatile piece to mix and match with different outfits. What I love the most about it besides the sequins of course is the back! Another thing I'm obsessed with are dupattas. I keep picking them up in different colours and fabrics without a specific purpose in mind. This simple fuschia pink dupatta had been lying in my wardrobe for a while. The designer went ahead and revamped it by adding gorgeous mirror patch-work! For me it was love at first sight...
I'd wear this outfit to a close friend's wedding. Depending on how simple or heavy I'd like my look to be, it is the hair and jewellery that I'd experiment with. The best part about this outfit for me is how I can use the blouse, dupatta and lehenga separately to create new looks. With bright colours, embellishments and my favourite fabrics, the ensemble is everything I love! ♥
My makeup and hair is done by Dhira's Makeup studio. Based in Aundh, Pune I'd hands down recommend this place for all things beauty related. In fact, I fondly like to call Dhira a makeup magician!
For details of the amazing Pune-based designer, please drop me an e-mail on email@example.com
Lots of love - M!

Global Study to Assess AT-GAA Compared to Standard-of-Care Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) over 52 Weeks
CRANBURY, NJ, USA (December 20, 2018) Amicus Therapeutics (Nasdaq: FOLD), a global biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing and delivering novel medicines for rare metabolic diseases, today announced the dosing of the first patient in a global phase 3 clinical study (ATB200-03, or PROPEL) of AT-GAA in adult patients with late onset Pompe disease. PROPEL is a 52-week, double-blind randomized study designed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of AT-GAA compared to the current standard of care, alglucosidase alfa, an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).
All participants randomized to AT-GAA in the PROPEL study will receive drug manufactured at the 1000L scale intended for clinical and commercial supply. Amicus also expects to initiate a smaller, open-label study of AT-GAA in pediatric patients in 2019.
"The initiation of our global PROPEL study is a true example of our capabilities to discover, develop and manufacture promising therapies, and deliver them to patients as quickly as we can," said John F. Crowley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. "With the first patient treated in this important study, we are now able to provide access to AT-GAA to many more adults with late onset Pompe disease. Importantly, this study is the first to offer AT-GAA manufactured at our commercial scale following many years of diligent work on the CMC and manufacturing side to produce biocomparable material that we can now supply for the study and future global Pompe population. People living with Pompe disease are urgently seeking new options, and we hope that the treatment experience in this study will enable global regulatory submissions."
Pompe disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Reduced or absent levels of GAA leads to the accumulation of glycogen in cells and causes progressive muscle weakness throughout the body, affecting several vital tissues of the body. AT-GAA is an investigational therapy that consists of ATB200, a unique recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA) enzyme with optimized carbohydrate structures, particularly mannose-6 phosphate (M6P), to enhance uptake, co-administered with AT2221, a pharmacological chaperone.
Tahseen Mozaffar, MD, Professor and Chair of Neurology and Director, Neuromuscular Program at UC Irvine and Principal Investigator in the PROPEL study stated, "The PROPEL study provides us with the opportunity to build upon the very compelling data set from the earlier Phase 1/2 clinical study. The PROPEL study is well-designed, with an active comparator arm and several important assessments of efficacy, including the gold standard six-minute walk test. I look forward to treating more patients with AT-GAA in this study."
The PROPEL study is expected to enroll approximately 100 participants (ERT-experienced and ERT-naïve) at up to 90 global sites. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive investigational AT-GAA (ATB200 co-administered with the oral chaperone AT2221) or standard of care ERT co-administered with an oral placebo for a 52-week double-blind primary treatment period. Following this primary treatment period, all participants will be eligible to receive AT-GAA in a long-term, open-label extension study.
The PROPEL study is designed to assess superiority of AT-GAA compared to alglucosidase alfa. The primary efficacy endpoint is change in six-minute walk distance from baseline to Week 52. Secondary endpoints include respiratory measures and additional measures of muscle function and muscle strength. More information, including a list of participating sites, is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03729362.

A video that shows alt-right leader Richard Spencer and a group of white nationalists saluting President-elect Donald Trump last weekend at a conference in Washington, D.C., is causing outrage.
"Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory!" Spencer cheers in the video captured by The Atlantic at the gathering of the National Policy Institute, a self-described "independent organization dedicated to the heritage, identity and future of people of European descent in the United States and around the world."
An audience of about 200 people – some giving Nazi salutes – looks on.
In the video, Spencer, president of the group, also bashes the press.
"The press has clearly decided to double down and wage war against the legitimacy of Trump and the continued existence of white America," Spencer says, later adding, "America was – until this past generation – a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity. It is our creation; it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us."
According to CNN, Trump transition spokesman Bryan Lanza issued the following response:
"President-elect Trump has continued to denounce racism of any kind, and he was elected because he will be a leader for every American. To think otherwise is a complete misrepresentation of the movement that united Americans from all backgrounds."
The National Holocaust Museum also condemned Spencer's comments:
"The Holocaust did not begin with killing; it began with words," the museum said in a statement. "The museum calls on all American citizens, our religious and civic leaders, and the leadership of all branches of the government to confront racist thinking and divisive hateful speech."
On Monday, Spencer told NBC News that his remarks were "ironic."
"I think that's ... one of the things that makes the alt-right fun, is that we're willing to do things that are a bit cheeky," he said.
The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the resturant at which the event was held, Maggiano's Little Italy in Friendship Heights, issued an apology on its official Facebook page.
This was a last minute booking made Friday afternoon, and the reservation was made under a different name, therefore we were not aware that NPI was dining with us or what the group represents. After the event, an attendee sent a tweet in which she made a "Sieg Heil salute" in support of Hitler and white supremacy. This expression of support of Hitler is extremely offensive to us, as our restaurant is home to Teammates and Guests of every race, religion and cultural background.
We want to sincerely apologize to the community of Friendship Heights for inadvertently hosting this meeting, which resulted in hateful sentiment. We want you to know that at the suggestion of one of our Guests, we are donating the profits from our restaurant sales on Friday, $10,000, to the DC office of the Anti-Defamation League, which for decades has been working to bring people together in peace and understanding.

You never want to underestimate the power of the live event. Whether you are brand new or a seasoned veteran in your industry when you get an opportunity to attend a live event you must go. The people you meet and the excitement that surrounds you is unlike anything you will ever experience in your career.
I just returned from my second live event and it was just as exciting as my first. In fact, I think it was probably better. Don't get me wrong; the first one was phenomenal. It was held in Las Vegas and there were probably close to 5000 people there so, of course, there were lots going on and lots of excitement. This second one that I just returned from was a much smaller event and it was held in Orlando, Florida. There were only a few hundred people there. So because it was a much smaller crowd it was much more personal; so much easier to meet people and get to know them. You didn't' feel like you were struggling for someone's attention or like you had to stand in line just to talk to someone. Yet the value of everything we learned was just so awesome!!.
The speakers were all 6-, 7- and even 8- figure earners and they were just real people; just like you and me. They sat at the same table with us for lunch and dinner. They answered whatever questions we had. They were just great people.
I currently have three mentors. I think I mentioned in an earlier post how important it is to have a mentor. You just can't make it in this business without a mentor; which is why I have three. Well, I was thrilled to find that all three of my mentors were at this event so I was able to meet all three of them personally. It was very exciting.
So the point I am trying to make is just how important the Live Event is to your business and if you ever want to succeed in any kind of business that offers live events it would definitely be to your advantage to attend. Did I mention they can be lots of fun too. 🙂

Sean Bartley just received his PhD in Theatre Studies at Florida State. For the 2018-2019 academic year, he will be serving as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Theatre at the University of Florida, teaching Theatre History and Playwriting to undergraduates and a two-semester History, Literature, and Criticism sequence to MFA actors and designers He holds a BA in Theatre Arts Management from American University and an MFA in Dramaturgy from the American Repertory Theatre/Moscow Art Theatre School Institute for Advanced Theatre Training at Harvard University. His research centers on contemporary American site-specific, ambulatory, and immersive theatre practices. His work has been featured in TDR: The Drama Review, Theatre Journal, PARtake: The Journal of Performance as Research and Borrowers and Lenders: The Journal of Shakespeare and Appropriation as well as an upcoming issue of Theatre History Studies. Dramaturgy credits include work with American Repertory Theatre (Julius Caesar, Romance), New Repertory Theatre (BOOM), and Company One (Learn to be Latina).
Sean's recent dissertation project, "Contemporary Ambulatory Theatre and Audience Agency," explores large-scale ambulatory performances in the United States where audience members travel miles, constructing narratives and developing a sense of personal agency through their navigation of space. Four performances serve as the central sites of research: Punchdrunk's Sleep No More, Blast Theory's A Machine to See With, Street Corner Society's Subway Orpheus, and David Levine's Private Moment. The project explores how these productions might serve as laboratories for understanding audience agency and how they might connect to other theoretical discourses and traditions of writing about performance.

A Ball State University (BSU) study found that college students are willing to pay a bit more to live within a mile of campus even if far cheaper options are just a few miles away.
College Housing Study
The BSU study was published in a recent issue of Housing and Society, the journal of the Housing Education and Research Association (HERA). It took a sample of 97 student-housing communities across six college markets and found that college students prefer to live within one mile of campus.
That proximity comes with higher housing costs with students willing to pay an average 16 percent premium for their apartment. Thus, if a one bedroom apartment averages $600 several miles away from campus, the surveyed students would be willing to pay an extra $96 per month for the convenience of living nearby. The study found that the average savings beyond a four-mile radius of the campus was 13 percent.
Proximity is important to many college students who want to enjoy the university experience and do so within walking distance. Said Carla Earhart, a professor in Ball State's family and consumer sciences department who teaches in the residential property management program, "Being within one mile of campus suggests the benefit of being within reasonable walking distance, while being outside four miles begins to segregate students from the 'university district,' other college friends and easy use of the campus facilities. Between one and four miles, students are likely to commute, and the incremental advantage or disadvantage of proximity to campus is not seen as a driving factor."
Earhart co-authored the study with two other BSU professors including Tung Liu, an economics professor, and Howard Campbell, a family and consumer sciences professor. T.J. Fields, a former graduate student who earned his degree in 2011, also participated.
The Statistics of Rent
The BSU study also uncovered several other important facts about student housing for the surveyed areas. The average rent was $1,377 per month for the 2010-2011 academic year for apartments that had up to 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and were located 2.43 miles from the campus center. Nearly two-thirds of those units were furnished and most covered the cost of water, sewer and trash removal.
The survey also found that just 22 percent of apartments included electricity with the rent while cable and Internet service were included approximately 90 percent of the time. The average occupancy rate for these apartments was 96 percent and the average residence age in 2010 was 12 years.
Amenities and Proximity
"Student housing in the U.S. is a very competitive billion dollar business," Earhart said. "Built and sometimes operated more like resorts than apartment communities, the new student housing in many college towns offers lavish swimming pools, private bathrooms for every bedroom, high-end finishes and furnishings, and high-speed Internet. Some of today's college students are paying more than $500 per month per bedroom.
Earhart noted that while the amenities are certainly desirable, proximity is very important to today's college students.

Another sample made with the new Crafty Secrets "Fairyland" stamp set (CHA new release)! I wanted to create a little border scene at the bottom of my card, so I stamped a bunch of the cute images from this set into a woodland scene, and then added the moon fairy at the top of the card in a circle nestabilities circle. I used "Lilac" Flowersoft to simulate mossy flowers in my scene. I glittered the red mat so that the border around the fairy is sparkly, and then added some Kaiser paper flowers and some vintage millinery flowers that were gifted to me by friend Pam Hooten.
I'm putting the blog on autopilot this week; so more short posts to follow while I'm cranking out samples! AAAAAACK it's CRUNCH TIME!

Question: How do I call this brain my own if this is nothing but a collection of experiences from the past and influences from the outside?
Acharya Prashant: Me and my brain must be called as two different entities. Right? This question surely wouldn't have been in your mind a month back, today it is there because you have come to see that the brain is nothing but a collection of all your past experiences. The brain is nothing but a product of evolution and it has all the information that life has gone through, has gathered in the course of these million years of being and becoming.
You have also come to see, it has been often emphasized that any external influence is absorbed by the brain. You surely have been told that the brain acts like a sponge. That the brain acts like the sponge, that it keeps on taking in whatsoever comes from outside. If I am not mistaken, you have also seen that all this comes from outside is what constitutes your ego. Correct? Identification with that becomes your ego.
So now you are wondering that how do I call this brain my own? If this is nothing but a collection of experiences from the past and influences from the outside, how do I call it my own? Right?
If this is nothing but some kind of board, a blank board on which anybody can come and write something. What is it that I can really call as my own? Right? What is it that I really call as my own?
Go into it, attentively understand this. Yes, you are right, every bit of the brain is conditioned. In that sense, there is nothing in it that you can really call your own. Every bit, every single cell over here is a preprogrammed cell. And all that programming has not been done by you, and the programming is taking place continuously. It's an ongoing process. It is taking place now at this moment. It has been happening for a very very long time and it is happening even now.
So, yes you are right, in that sense brain is not really yours. But don't be disappointed, you haven't lost anything. There is something that is entirely yours, entirely entirely yours and that is your ability to understand all this. That ability we call by the name of 'Intelligence'. That does not come through evolution. Neither does any external being hand it over to you. It is yours, it just manifests itself in moments of attention.
So, those of you who are attentive right now, within them a very intelligent process is going on. A very very intelligent process. Now, that process consists of two different subprocesses, understand them. One, The language that I am speaking, the form that you are observing over here, all this is surely coming from the past. So this is an external knowledge which has been given to us by somebody else, by certain factors. Neither you nor I just invented the English language. That's one thing.
Second thing, you are looking at me in a particular shape and form, this three-dimensional world that we see, that again is coming to us through our brain. Alright? It doesnot have a sepearate existence of our own, its our brain that is projeting it, so again that is a part of the conditioning.
Understand this, what is going on, I am speaking, you are listening, we are trying to break this down into two different subprocesses, understand this very clearly. The first subprocess is that which has to do with the brain, which has to do with the brain, and what is that? That is that certain waves fall on the ears, and then these waves have to be translated into words that have a certain meaning, and all that is very automatic, and all that comes from your past.
You already know what a word like conditioning means, your past has told you, you already know what already means? What always means? And what all these words mean? So, all the past has a great utility in that sense. First process, the first subprocess is dependent on the past, in the first subprocess you are making sense of these words, they are coming to you, you are referring to the database, which contains a dictionary in the mind, and that dictionary is telling you that such and such is the meaning of that word, Right? Are you getting it? This is the first automatic subprocess, this is more or less machine-like. The first subprocess is more or less machine-like. Are you getting it?
Even a machine can do this. Even a machine can do this. You can have a fairly advanced Robot, that can receive sound waves and carry a database that can make a meaning out of them.
You can have a robot which receives words in English but writes down the exact thing in French. It can have the ability to translate. you already have such simple programmes over the internet, you type something in one language and the output comes out in another language. That is happening with us also right now, the first Subprocess as we said is fairly mechanical, very mechanical.
There is the second process happening, the second subprocess which is not at all mechanical. Which is the process of intelligence and which no machine is capable of. That only you can do. And that is the process of understanding. That is the process of understanding. Are you getting it?
The very ability to make sense of these words, the ability to go deeply into them and understand what they are all about, no machine can do it today and no machine will be ever able to do it. That intelligence is what makes you human. That ability to be attentive and understand is what makes you special. That is the prerogative only of the human being. Are you getting it? Yes?
Now, this intelligence too sits in the brain. It is not in the brain, the first subprocess in entirely the mechanical brain functioning, this second process is also dependent upon the brain in the sense that if today or at this moment, our brains are smashed, then obviously we can't understand, or if one of us is drunk and his brain is not in a proper condition, it's intoxicated, then also you can't understand. The second subprocess won't take place.
So, the brain functions in two ways. In the first process it acts just like a machine, and in the second subprocess, it is acting as the seat of intelligence. Remember, the brain by itself is not intelligent, but it acts as the seat of intelligence. Are you understanding this? So, if you identify yourself with the brain, there is a great problem, because, now you have identified yourself with a machine. That will make life very very dull and boring and mechanical. Very very machine-like, You will only do what you have been programmed to do. And that makes the slaves of you. And nobody wants to live in slavery. And especially young people like us surely abort slavery. Right?
Identifying with the brain is deeply problematic, but realizing that I am that intelligence which just sits upon the brain, that is beautiful. That awareness that I am not identifying with all the identities, conditioning, all the external influences, and I realize myself to be intelligent, that's one thing. Are you getting it? You understand, Right?
On one hand Yes, all that the brain has, has come from the outside, it is external, and please don't identify with that. Beliefs, religion, meanings of words like success, life, work, love – all these have been given to us and the brain has just soaked them in like a sponge. And that is what is the process of conditioning. The development of Ego. If you become identified with all that, then you have become mechanical. So, that has to be alertly avoided. That first part, it has to be understood. And in understanding it, you have ordained it.
But the second thing is very very precious, and what is that second? That intelligence. That's what you are. That's what you are. And that intelligence also requires the presence of a healthy brain. Remember we said that if our brains are smashed, there is no question of an intelligent output. So, the brain must be healthy just as the seat of intelligence. The brain is not intelligent, but it is the seat of intelligence. The brain by itself is very very dumb, very very dumb. All it can do is take orders, and that also not your order, someone else's orders. The brain by itself is very very dumb, all it can be is a database. a storehouse reservoir of data, of memories, are you getting it? And it is also preprogrammed. So, its a database and a programme. Both of which make a slave out of it. But it's also the seat of intelligence.

Repay early your personal payday loan
Do you have a personal payday loan and do you want to pay off your loan early?
Then read this blog with tips and tricks that you should pay attention to if you want to pay off your loan early.
Early repayment of personal payday loan
Have you taken out a personal payday loan for an amount lower than € 40,000? Then you have the legal right to repay your loan early. If you have taken out a personal payday loan in excess of € 40,000, the loan agreement determines whether (and to what extent) you can repay early.
If you repay early, banks will miss out on part of the interest. That is why early repayment often involves costs. Therefore, check the terms of your loan agreement in advance to avoid fines.
This is how early repayment works
With most providers you can calculate entirely online, which means early repayment for the chosen loan. You see the remaining debt, the expected new end date, an indication of your new monthly amount and possibly the interest payment.
You can then make and redeem the desired adjustments online. The repayment is usually processed within 24 hours.
Advantages of early repayment
An advantage of extra repayments on a personal payday loan is that the total credit compensation goes down. In addition, your outstanding debt with the bank is lower. If your extra repayment exceeds the monthly amount, the term of the loan will be shortened.
With a personal payday loan, the interest and duration are normally fixed, so you always know your monthly term in advance.
You can also pay extra on your revolving credit. By repaying extra you pay back your loan earlier. With a revolving credit you can repay extra credit during the entire term. Just like with a personal payday loan, the monthly costs with a revolving credit also fall when you pay off extra. An additional advantage is that you can withdraw the extra repaid amount whenever you want.
Extra repaid … and then what?
After you have repaid extra, the overview of your loan shows that the outstanding debt has been reduced by the early extra repayment. From that moment on, you therefore only pay interest on the new, lower debt and you have finished paying off earlier.
Frequently asked questions about early repayment
What happens if I pay off my loan early in the following situations:
I want to pay off my current loan and take out a new one
You cancel your current loan when you have fully repaid your loan. Your ABC registration is then canceled. You then request a new loan from a lender of your choice and then a new loan application starts. Based on your personal situation, it is checked whether the maximum loan amount that you want to borrow is justified.
– I want to pay off a personal payday loan early in addition to my mortgage
You cancel your current loan when you have fully repaid your loan. Your ABC registration will then be canceled. This means that your tax benefit immediately expires.
Do you want to refinance your loan in your mortgage?
If you choose to refinance your loan in your mortgage, realize that you must also pay off this debt. With a personal payday loan you get rid of your debt after a few years, because you pay repayment in addition to interest. If you take a personal payday loan with you in your mortgage, it is smart to pay off as well. Otherwise, move the issue to the future. You now pay less interest, but because your debt gets higher and runs longer, you will continue to pay for your debt for longer.
What happens to my monthly amount if I repay early?
The monthly amount of your loan decreases if you have a revolving credit. The monthly amount consists of interest and repayment as standard. The monthly repayment does not change due to the early repayment, but the monthly interest does. The remaining principal sum will be lower because of the early repayment. And the interest is calculated on this residual debt.
Why doesn't my monthly repayment change?
The term of the loan is shortened through online early repayment. The monthly repayments remain the same. As a result, you have finished paying off earlier and you owe less interest. If you prefer to reduce the monthly repayment amount, please contact us.

- Your card has been disabled by your company's admin: For security reasons your company's admin is able to disable any Soldo card at any time. As an employee, you will not automatically be informed of this, but will be able to see whether this is the case in your Soldo mobile app under Cards.
- Limits and Budgets set by your company's admin: Please note that restrictions that were applied on this card or wallet by you or an admin may have caused the transaction to be declined.

Meet Raye
British singer and total sweetheart, Raye has been working her way up the billboards with some serious music collabs and major hits like 'By Your Side' and 'You Don't Know Me'. She not only rocks the most flowy, cotton-candy colored curls but she's also extremely talented and sweet.
1. What advice would you give your younger self?
To trust yourself and the way you feel. I think it's so easy to lean on everyone around you because they're more experienced or whatever, but you have to trust your own instincts.
2. When did you first realize you wanted to be serious about music?
It sounds silly, but I was like 10! I was like… 'Dad, I'm gonna be a recording artist.' At first, he laughed at me but the he saw I worked really hard. I played piano every day, I was writing songs every day and he understood my passion for it, super supportive, yeah <3
3. What are your darkest Instagram secrets: favorite filter and editing app?
My favorite editing app is VSCO, I love it, it's so good! It has all the effects, like the fake grain you know? But I don't usually use filters on Instagram, I maybe brighten pictures sometimes but that's it!
4. F is For…?
F is For…freak, cos I am one!

"Oil Trees of Chianti" is the fourth image in Junes Dona di Natura series, which focuses on the romance of Italys fabled wine country. The Chianti region, considered one of the oldest wine regions in the world, makes some of the highest quality olive oil from trees in its hills. It takes at least 50 years for an olive tree to get into full production making Chianti olive oil some of the rarest in the world.
June Carey
The little farmhouse in Pennsylvania where I grew up was always alive with singing, laughter and a love of the arts. My father, a voice instructor, introduced us to the steady flow of eccentric, larger-than-life characters found in his greatest passion the dramatic world of the Italian opera. Aidas rich theme always seemed to be playing in the background as I went in search of a reality I could call my own, escaping into the quiet roar of the singing crickets and song of the meadowlark. I could lose myself in the turquoise twilight magic of a summer evening or breath of sweet fields of winter wheat beneath the rising sliver of a moon. I found my true love and years later found myself longing for the beautiful fields of my childhood, where everything was the way it should be. My passion springs forth through the beauty of the fertile earth, which has always been my real teacher. I began painting full time in 1982, doing my time as a starving artist while raising my young son. I was happy to trade this tragic cliché for the happy success of sell-out gallery shows and award banquets. In 1991, I married maritime artist David Thimgan, and we thrived together. On one late summer afternoon escape, traveling to the Mendocino coast, I discovered the California wine country. I was so happy to have found a place in California that reminded me of my long lost fields of Pennsylvania. I painted my first vineyard scene in 1996 and, as time passed, this interest has taken me to the countryside of Tuscany, where I feel I probably lived in a former lifetime. My Italian opera theme song has never left my heart, and somehow life seems to have come full circle, to connect, again, the passions of my life.

I have a 2001 Chevy 1500 with 5.3 V-8 and at times it feels like some thing is hold my truck from moving freely almost like some thing is binding up a bit. At times when your going down a small grade and let off the throttle it will decrease in speed, going up a small grade it seems you need more throttle I drive the same road 2 times a day
Answer: Going down a grade and your Chevy truck is slowing down sounds like the transmission is in a lower gear. If this happens only sometimes, make sure to feel for a downshift as you start going down the hill. The truck should not do that. May sound silly, but make sure the gear shifter is in the D overdrive range.
While trying to go up a hill, does it need more throttle than you used to have to give it? Did this just start? Is or has the check engine light been on? Some possible causes again are the transmission, plugged fuel filter or your Chevy may just need a tune up.
