Back in December, last year, Microsoft introduced its latest gaming console, the Xbox Series X with a conventional design that people did not had not expect. The gaming console came with a boxy design. It must be noted that very soon after the introduction of the Xbox Series X, it became a meme content. People all over the world started comparing the gaming console with refrigerators, trash cans, skyscrapers, and much more. On the other hand, the company took this criticism as a constructive one.
The official Xbox Twitter handle of Microsoft shared a picture of the console comparing the size of the Xbox Series X with that of a fridge as an attempt to ensure that there is no chance the Xbox Series X can be mistaken for a fridge.
The Twitter post mentioned "Fridge for scale" while comparing the size of the Xbox to a fridge. The post also lists the height of a normal fridge at 1778 mm and compared it with that of Xbox Series X. Xbox Series X comes with a height of 301 mm. As far as width and breadth are concerned, the width and breadth of the Xbox Series X stand at 151 mm only, while the fridge Microsoft teased had a width of 635 mm breadth of 762 mm.
With that post, Microsoft not only assured people that even though it might look like a fridge, but Xbox Series X is also nowhere close to the size of a real fridge. It seems that with this post, Microsoft took on its memers to spread the message that Microsoft Xbox Series X is closer to any other gaming console than a fridge.
It must be noted that as per Microsoft, Xbox Series X is the next generation gaming console that will drive away from its competitors with its performance. The device is scheduled for a commercial launch somewhere in the holiday season in 2020. Microsoft has recently revealed a handful of specifications of this upcoming console. Xbox Series X will be powered by a 16 GB GDDR6 RAM and an octa-core AMD Zen 2 CPU coupled with a 12 Teraflops RDNA 2 class GPU. The company also said that on the ongoing Game Stack Live event, they will reveal some more features of the Xbox Series X. The Game Stack Live event will be streamed live online today and tomorrow.
Must Check:
- Microsoft Xbox Series X promo film is plagiarized
- Xbox Series X hardware details leaked, similar in size to Mini ITX Console
- Xbox Series X, Microsoft's next gaming console scheduled to release in 2020
- Microsoft confirms Xbox Scarlett will support 4K and 120fps

California-based Ilia Beauty takes clean beauty mainstream.
Ilia Beauty
Ilia beauty is redefining clean beauty. And it's not just about the ingredients.
Sasha Plavsic decided to start a company shortly after the 2008 recession. That too, she wanted to build a clean beauty company, which was a niche market and a largely unheard idea over a decade ago.
She quit her job, moved back home to Vancouver, Canada, and started on the journey with one idea: how to make her tinted lip conditioner that she'd been wearing for years from more natural ingredients. Two years of exploration followed. Then, she took the leap to start her own company.
"People get so scared to just start. You cannot know everything when you start. But you have to jump in. If you wait, you may never be ready," she says.
Now, based in southern California, Plavsic is thinking through the environmental details of her beauty brand: from the packaging to maintaining a balance between natural and organic ingredients in her skincare-meets-color range.
But the slew of clean beauty brands that have emerged in the past five years, Plavsic says, is a bit of a mixed bag. "Some of us had to really figure it out, working from the zero up," she says, referring to early start-ups in the space. "It's not been a straightforward path."
Now, it's chaotic and confusing for customers, she admits. "Get educated. There isn't one list you should be referring to. You have to dig further into a brand's philosophy and understand where they're coming from."
For her, it's always been a balancing act between what's natural and organic and what works. "At the end of the day, the product has to work. Yes, we have some products that are entirely natural, and have a high organic content, above 80 percent. But others, may not."
Her emphasis is instead on what's safe for consumers. For instance, she notes when a product has water, a preservative is necessary to make sure the product doesn't go rancid. Safety, in those scenarios, she says is more important than being entirely natural. But as a whole, most of the products contain 75% or more organic ingredients. Specific ingredients such as Vitamin E, she notes, are hard to find organic; so they opt for a natural source, stemming from sunflowers.
There's also the challenge of materials used in packaging: most of their lipsticks are housed in recycled aluminum cases. The boxes are 100% recycled paper and the print is all done with vegetable-based dyes. "More and more people want to know about these fine details."
Aluminum can be infinitely recycled; glass is bulkier, more costly to ship, and harder to recycle. Promotional bags that Ilia uses are made with silicone and designed to be reused. Lastly, as an animal-friendly company, they choose not to sell to countries that test on animals. "Brands and companies need to take the lead on this. Yes, the government can help by making more favorable policy and infrastructure, but companies can start choosing what they package in, how they sell, and so on."
Ilia is introducing an option with the recycling company TerraCycle to make it easier for customers to dispose of their empty containers—and those include any "empties," she says, "they don't even have to be ours only." It's a long list of deliberate decisions and choices that Plavsic says she has spent time thinking about. "This is all very nuanced. Some people want a beauty product to last for 24 hours and not come off. That's harder to do with truly natural ingredients—and maybe that's something we cannot offer."
Instead, the aesthetic and vision for the company, she says, has been about bringing together skincare and cosmetics—products that highlight elements of a woman's face without completely masking them, she says. "It's not about piling it on, but accentuating, and playing up a few features."
In 2015, Ilia started talking to Sephora, the ubiquitous brick-and-mortar beauty retailer. That transition to Sephora's shelves, Plavsic says has helped them make clean beauty a more mainstream offering and continue to expand these conversations on sustainability from a small group of rookie brands to something that's now being discussed in the big beauty houses of the world.
In 2018, New York-based Silas Capital invested in the startup. Although Plavsic started the company with a loan and her credit cards, she had grown it significantly in 7 years; this month, they announced another round of capital from Sainbridge Capital, which has a series of investments in fashion and consumer brands.
A decade later, the idea that Plavsic developed in her free time of transforming a lip tint into a more a natural product has developed into a global business. "The next big thing," she says, "is sustainability — in a real form, not just greenwashing. That's for very industry, not just our industry."
Plavsic's hunch about more eco-friendly and people-friendly products, a decade ago, was spot on.

| 17.7°C Dublin
TWO-YEAR Irish government bonds were little changed yesterday yielding 2.45pc for investors. But there were big moves in short-term bond yields across the rest of the eurozone.
Yields on Portuguese two-year bonds came down nearly 1pc to 4.68pc. Spanish and Italian bond yields also fell sharply with investors expecting the ECB to detail a plan to tackle the debt crisis, but demand for lower-risk paper remained solid given uncertainty over the scheme.
Speculation over the scope of a potential European Central Bank bond-buying scheme grew after President Mario Draghi was quoted as saying ECB purchases of sovereign bonds with maturity of up to three years would not breach European Union rules against directly financing eurozone governments.
Traders said an acceleration of the move was unlikely before the ECB's meeting tomorrow given uncertainty over the size of the bond-buying scheme.
Questions also remained over whether ECB policymakers will unanimously back the scheme, opposed by the head of Germany's influential Bundesbank, Jens Weidmann.
"Markets are taking a bit of confidence from Draghi," said Brian Barry, a strategist at Investec.
"There's scope for further steepening of Italian and Spanish curves but we haven't seen the colour of the ECB's money and given questions over what exactly is going to come out of the ECB meeting, it's difficult to say how far it will go."
Spanish two-year yields dropped to their lowest levels since early April at 3.10pc as investors welcomed Draghi's reported comments, while their Italian counterparts fell to five-month lows of 2.4pc.
"We've seen a couple of investors doing a bit of asset allocation back into Spain, for the first time in a long time," one trader said. "It's reducing underweight positions rather than going long, I'd guess, but it makes for a better backdrop for Thursday's auctions."
Spain will sell up to €3.5bn of bonds with maturities of up to four years tomorrow.
Spanish 10-year yields fell 27 basis points to 6.62pc with their Italian counterparts a more modest 11 bps lower at 5.68pc.
"This is risk-on as the probability of an error by the ECB in buying only very short-end paper has receded and we remain comfortable holding longs in two-year and shorter-dated Spanish bonds," RBS strategist Harvinder Sian said.
The rally in the periphery did not have a marked effect on demand for bonds issued by the eurozone's stronger countries.
Austria sold bonds at a record low rate, a day after Belgium did the same.
And although German Bund yields are off all-time lows, it will offer a 1.5pc coupon on new 10-year bond today -- the lowest to date.
"The ongoing optimism as regards support for the periphery isn't proving a zero-sum game at the moment," said Rabobank rate strategist Richard McGuire.
"It's not to the detriment of core issuers, partly because we need to see details of the plan. This is quite a good window of opportunity for the triple-As ahead of the ECB meeting and Thursday's Spanish bond auction."
Taking advantage of market conditions, the Netherlands said it would issue a three-year new dollar-denominated bond today, with a coupon of just 0.25 percent.
"No one really knows what the landscape is going to be like after Thursday, and if we see much more of a rabbit than two ears poking out of the hat it may be a much less conducive environment for the triple- or even double-A rated issuers," Mr McGuire added. (Additional reporting Reuters)

Named after the 19th-century British explorer and archaeologist Charles William Wilson, Wilson's Arch is located at the northern end of the Western Wall, and prayer services frequently take place in the area beneath it. Recently, using radiocarbon dating and the emerging techniques of microarchaeology, Israeli scientists made a breakthrough in pinpointing its date of construction .
Wilson's Arch was part of the Great Causeway, an ancient bridge linking Jerusalem's Temple Mount to the houses of Jerusalem's upper city. Construction has been the subject of much scholarly debate, with dates suggested from the time of Herod the Great (1st century CE), Roman colonization, or even the early Islamic period in Jerusalem (a span of about 700 years.)
The authors of a new study narrowed the dates of construction for the initial Great Causeway bridge structure to between 20 BCE and 20 CE, largely during the reign of Herod the Great. They also discovered a second stage of construction, between 30 CE and 60 CE, when the bridge doubled in size as Wilson's Arch in its current form was finalized. Evidence suggests that during this period of direct Roman rule, many building projects around Jerusalem, including an aqueduct supplying water to the Temple Mount, were begun or expanded.

A Prayer Story From Rita Martin
Sometimes we become discouraged as we pray for our loved ones, asking that they would experience salvation or find a closer walk with Jesus. But can we be confident that God is answering our prayer? Is God drawing that person to Himself? Of course He is because we asked Him to do so. As we are waiting to see the results of our prayer, let's not forget to thank God for what He's already doing in the life of our loved one because we know that God is faithful and always answers our prayer.
I remember talking to the grown son of one of our dear members at her memorial service. He said, "I knew my mother was praying for me, and I returned to the Lord. It took a long time, but I'm so thankful for her prayers."
Our prayer focus at church and the Love to Pray book have helped me to deliberately pray daily at a rich prayer time as well as throughout the day as things occur. As I pray, I'm becoming more aware of my need to listen to Him through the Holy Spirit and then to act on the prompts He gives me. It is definitely a work in progress for me but also a joyful journey.
Our Stories: Jesús Gomez
Jesús Gomez was born in Monterrey, Mexico, and raised in Keizer and Salem, Oregon. At the end of his high school years, Jesús was debating where to go to college. His tentative plans were to go to the University of Oregon and major in music production, but his plans changed (a recurring theme in our conversation). He felt a tugging towards PLU despite its higher cost. Looking back, he realizes now that it was God saying to him "Trust me. I've seen it all, and believe me, it works. Are you going to trust me?" Jesús took a leap of faith and went to PLU, beginning as a music education major.
While attending PLU, a classmate recommended FPC, and he began attending. At first it was just to sing in the choir, but later he also began playing with the worship band. Shortly thereafter, the church asked him to come on staff as a music intern. Jesús notes concerning the offer, "I have seen God's provision when I didn't see a way forward." Regarding his recent marriage to Claire Perrin, Jesús says, "At every turn, whenever we asked how is this going to turn out, God one-upped himself, saying 'You thought that last time I got you out of that pinch was impressive, just wait.' Every single time there has been some sort of answer or provision."
Jesús loves all aspects of music but confesses his favorite is conducting. He finds there is something special in bringing all of the moving parts together to create something special and unique. Additionally, he is blessed by seeing the piece take shape over the course of the rehearsals and performances. In fact, when he is teaching, he frequently records a first rehearsal to show his students how far the performance has come, which he believes is a valuable lesson for life and not just music.
Jesús gave a few suggestions for parishioners to maximize worship. First, be open to worshipping in ways with which you might not be familiar. There is a wide range of worship music, from Renaissance masses to classic hymns to contemporary worship choruses. All of them have something worthwhile to offer. Second, remember that worship is about seeking God. While the church service is shared and mutual, the prelude is designed to serve as a reminder to end the fellowship with those we love and wish we got to see more often, so that we can truly focus our attention on Him. Conversely, the postlude is the signal for us to celebrate what has happened in worship and resume our community-building and being a part of each other's lives.

Kitchen 713 is an East End original
Maybe it was the red-peppery slice of roasted apple plucked from a spiky frisée and goat cheese salad. Or perhaps it was the sweet-sharp shock of the nuoc mam dip alongside our shredded turkey-neck lettuce wraps, the tart brown liquid bristling with garlic and mellowed by just the right note of Steen's cane syrup.
Whatever the proximate cause, within minutes of our food hitting the table at Kitchen 713, my discriminating friend Todd's verdict was in.
"These guys really throw down," he announced reverently, swishing that soulful Bibb-leaf turkey-neck package through its zappy Vietnamese-gone-Southern sauce.
That pretty much encapsulates the big-hearted magic carpet ride that ensues when you sit down for a meal from co-chefs James Haywood and Ross Coleman.
Working in a bare-bones starter space on Canal in the East End, a neighborhood that is just beginning to coalesce as a food-and-drink magnet, the two friends are turning out some of the most surprising, memorable food in town. And they're doing it without so much as a front-of-the-house staff, a liquor license or even a BYOB capability to ease their way.
You order at the counter in this brightly lit room, where bare ECO-bulbs of piercing wattage illuminate walls color-blocked in mocha and tomato red. Often, one of the chefs will pop out of the kitchen to officiate, sending you to a black Formica table with a numbered flag and directions to the lemonade, sweet tea and water station in a far corner. That's where you pick up your utensils, too.
Then you sit and wait for Haywood and Coleman to rock your palate, and your brain. Grilled cheese sandwich with oxtail marmalade? Coming up, if you're there at noon. Superbly crunchy orbs of house-made crawfish boudin - just one example of Kitchen 713's boudins du jour - with a galvanic smear of smoked-jalapeño remoulade? Got that, too, along with a wild hog bucatini that's new to the dinner menu. You just never know, and that's part of the draw.
It's best not to be impatient. The chefs and their skeleton crew are back there firing things to order, plating as strikingly as you'd expect to see in a much more expensive restaurant and, in general, lavishing care on a roster of dishes that changes gently every few weeks, and that offers substantially different experiences both at lunch and at Saturday and Sunday brunches. These guys are ambitious in a quiet yet rollicking way.
It feels a little bit like dining at a friend's house, with Haywood - the more gregarious of the duo - darting from the kitchen to play host and waiter and guide. He and the reserved, quiet Coleman met at Minute Maid Park. Haywood was catering for the Astros' VIP boxes and Coleman, who has worked for Hotel ZaZa and the Southern-centric Front Porch in Dallas, was a chef at the 9 Amigos Mexican restaurant.

Star ratings
No stars: Restaurant cannot be recommended at this time. One star: a good restaurant that we recommend. Two stars: very good; one of the best restaurants of its kind. Three stars: excellent; one of the best restaurants in the city. Four stars: superlative; can hold its own on a national stage.
Thank goodness they got together. They've combined their rootsy Southern soul influences with everything that modern Houston offers: the dizzying array of Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean cuisines in Bellaire Boulevard's Asiatown; the deep local penchant for the flavors of next-door Louisiana; the heat and earthiness of our beloved Mexican influences; and the invigorating sawtooth of our treasured cowboy woodsmoke.
It's a mixture peculiar to this city, and diagnostic of latter-day Houston cuisine. Reef's Bryan Caswell and Underbelly's Chris Shepherd pioneered this multicultural mixing and matching on a fine-dining level, and Coleman and Haywood are working very much in that tradition, anchored by a particular affinity for Southern cooking. Theirs is soul food for 21st-century Houston: direct, unaffected, fed from the roots up.
Consider Kitchen 713's spectacular oxtails braised in Chinese black vinegar, a sprawling platter served for two - but, in the typical fashion of Kitchen 713, offering plenty for three diners or even more to share. The fat blossoms of beef arrive with just the right tenderness, just the right residual bite to them. Their fat is beautifully rendered. Their five-spice star anise note twines with the smoky sweet tang of the black vinegar, and crimson spangles of fresh red chile pepper dance across their surfaces.
They're great. And they're even greater with the dusky black-eyed-pea fried rice that accompanies them, laced with brisk bean sprouts and topped with a fried egg. The final piece of the $32 puzzle is a tangle of slithery Chinese long beans, still snappy and cloaked with the salty, shallot-laced funk of fermented black bean paste. Bite here; bite there; feel blessed.
That's the drill with so many dishes.
At brunch, the tres leches pancakes are a soft Houston dream of puffy cakes pooled in a swoon of milky cream, with plenty of toasted pecans chiming in like a manic drummer. I'm still dreaming about them.
The funky cabrito chilaquiles might want a better sear on a few of the red-chile-soused tortilla chips, but the flavors are stout, the salsa verde cuts in, and the nubs of queso fresco gentle everything out. Two fried eggs on top makes the whomping $18 dish suitable for at least two diners.
And oh, may I tell you about the shrimp and serious stone-ground grits? They are special. A bit of spicy chorizo sausage sneaks in; beautiful sweet shrimp have the proper pearly bite; edgy cheddar kicks in with a whisper of white wine underneath.
Dishes have a way of pulling a fast one on you here. The chicken and dumplings I ordered one night, feeling puny and in need of comfort, turned out to be exhilarating stuff: thick slices of meat coiled in a sort of ballotine, daubed in a bright red Korean gochujang sauce radiating red-chile heat, then graced with crackly wafers of chicken skin. The dumplings - actually sweet potato gnocchi - discomfited me with their sticky-smooth density at first.
But as I ate, I realized that these intense little logs were a play on glutinous Korean rice cakes, which have much the same texture. Once I surrendered to the 713 flow, the dish made total sense.
I woke up thinking about it the next day. And I am still obsessing about that frisée salad I mentioned earlier. The contrast of crisp, cool green apple slices and spicy warm roasted ones was brilliant, and the play of springy bitter greens with slightly sweet cane-syrup vinaigrette and a salty goat-cheese croquette purely classic. Wheels of watermelon radish helped make the plate gorgeous. I could eat that salad for supper, all by itself, and consider myself well fed.
I plan to do exactly that. At least if those crazy crawfish boudin balls don't get in the way; or the little iron skilletful of peach cobbler; or whatever freewheeling idea Coleman and Haywood have dreamed up.
"We cook what we'd like to eat, not just what we think people will accept," Haywood told me. That's exactly how the food feels at Kitchen 713.
If I were rich, I'd arrange for them to get some kind of culinary genius grant. Since I'm not, I will wish for them permission from their landlord to allow diners to bring their own wine and beer; or perhaps even to obtain a TABC license.
The food deserves it. Serving beer and wine will not turn Kitchen 713 into one of the nearby Canal cantinas. But as any operator will tell you, it could help transform a scrappy starter restaurant into a thriving one. That's the ending I'd love to see written on this story.

Sustainability at the BC Library Conference
BCLA is taking important steps to reduce the footprint of our annual conference. Our goal is to ensure a Conference that is innovative, inspiring and as responsible and sustainable as possible.
Here is what we are doing for our 2020 Conference: Libraries , Democracy and Action
Name Badges for the BCLA Conference
This year, we are excited to be borrowing lanyards from the Fairware Lanyard Lending Library. Fairware has been loaning lanyards – made from a variety of reground and melted materials – to the social justice, environmental and impact business community since 2011. We are honoured to be participating in this example of 'sharing economy'.
After our conference, the lanyards will be sent back to Fairware where they are washed and prepared for the next event. Please be sure to return yours at the end of the conference! There will be clearly-labelled containers at the Registration Desk to collect the lanyards.
Transportation to the BCLA Conference
The Sheraton Vancouver Airport hotel is easily accessible by transit! The Canada Line's Richmond-Brighouse Station is just a few minutes walk away. It is located in the 6000 block of No. 3 Road, between Saba and Cook Roads, across the street from Richmond Center Mall .
If you are riding your bike to the Conference, there are bike racks located at the front entrance of the hotel.
We encourage anyone coming by car to carpool. Please feel free to use the main BCLA list (bcla-list) to offer and/or request carpool arrangements. For instructions on how to subscribe and use the list, please click here.
Food & Beverages at the BCLA Conference
This year, as we strive to reduce our footprint, we will be featuring a new vegetarian menu for all meals and breaks.
Coffee, tea and water will be served in china and glassware, eliminating the need for single-use cups. Sugar cubes will replace single-packet sugar and spoons will replace single-use stir sticks. Water will be available in large carafes instead of small jugs, reducing both water waste, and the amount of energy required for ice production.
Print Program for the 2020 BCLA Conference
In order to reduce the amount of paper used, we will only be producing a digital version of the program. One week before the conference, registered delegates will receive a link to the digital program and an invitation to print only the pages required to enjoy your conference experience.
Trade Show
Our Trade Show Exhibitors have been invited to tell us more about the ways their companies working towards greater sustainability. Stay-tuned on Twitter as we share this information with you!
To minimize waste, we have undated signage, making it possible for us to reuse each year. For any new signage needed, we print on material which is made of 100% FSC certified paper and is 100% recyclable.
If you have any suggestions for additional ways we can reduce the environmental impact of our Conference, we would love to hear from you. Send your ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com

LAKE COMO, NJ — Work is scheduled to get under way today, July 7 on North Boulevard as part of the state-funded road improvement project that began last month.
With the project completed along Main Street from 21st Street to North Boulevard, Jads Construction Co. now will continue along North Boulevard to Ripley Lane with repaving and related work. The South River-based company received a $530,000 contract for the project — the lowest bidder among five firms.
READ MORE: Road Improvements Under Way on Main Street, 17th Avenue in Lake Como
In a July 7 letter by borough engineer Bruce Koch of CME Associates, North Boulevard residents who live in the affected area are being asked to move vehicles from their driveways and from the street while the work is being performed.
One lane of traffic is expected to be maintained during the day and two lanes at night. Watch for detours when the street will need to be closed to all traffic. No work is expected to be done on weekends or major holidays unless necessary.
The project is being funded through a state 2018 Local Aid Infrastructure Fund grant, administered by the state Department of Transportation (DOT) for addressing emergencies and regional needs.

Ashley Madison is a quick hookup site that opens the doors to a discreet relationship if you are married, or otherwise engaged in another relationship. Slamming back shot after shot and getting super drunk, on the other hand, is the worst idea in the world if you've got a one-night stand in mind. Whatever your reasons are for seeking casual sex, you can explore your sexuality fully by meeting people through the Badults adult dating site. Before having an ultrasound, journalist Nancy Jo Sales wrote in Vanity Fair that Tinder operates within a culture of users seeking sex without relationships. Toronto is a pretty much the easiest Canadian city I've found where there is a lot of people, a good variety of people, and a real ease in walking up to strangers and just striking up a conversation that will actually last into friendship.
Thinking About Significant Aspects For Plus Size Dating Sites
The one hour limit on the self-destructing profiles and chats encourages spontaneous sexual encounters as well as enhancing privacy. When a man knows he can get young hot women he will feel happy, confident, and his testosterone will go up, especially if he sleeps with her. You agreed to have sex with each other with at least nominal effort on both of your parts, and that's it. Hell, the person hosting the sexcapades isn't even obligated to let the other person stay the night, although it does seem to be in good taste to do so. By the way, if you got kicked to the curb before the sun even rose, I wouldn't even bother with the rest of this advice, because frankly, that guy isn't worth it anyway.
In fact, by letting him or her know that you're not looking for anything serious before your sexual encounter, you can both be on the same page regarding the implications of your time together. Moreover, ask yourself this question: How would I feel if I knew my wife (or husband) was corresponding to an attractive man in the way I talk to X?" If you feel an uncomfortable knot in your stomach upon answering that question, there you go. While online dating and hookup apps are being used more and more, the truth is most people are still meeting each other in person.
It took me a little while to get that first one-night stand, because I did not know what I was doing. Ashley Madison is different from other dating sites, most of the activities happening over the weekend when the people have gone out and come home because they did not meet anyone. For the purposes sex sites of this piece, I'm sticking close to apps that I know are effective, either from personal experience, second-hand experience or high ratings in general. Of all the single men or women you may meet online, very few will be compatible with you specifically, and it can be difficult to determine the level of compatibility of a potential partner through methods of other dating services – swiping profile photos, browsing classified ads or online personals.
If you are a woman who is looking for a man the Ashley Madison features are free for you to use. One of the largest and most successful of the kink apps, truthfully, I found it confusing and difficult to use, so never actually managed to even finish completing a profile. You can try the sexual positions your partner isn't too keen on. You can sample same sex encounters for the first time without anyone knowing. Fuckbook is a great concept and has connected hundreds of people to one another in all kinds of fun, lighthearted, once of a lifetime sexual experiences.
If you're respectful of your choices and other people, then chances are you'll be able to connect with someone in a respectful manner even if you're only seeking something casual on Tinder. The site's whole ethos is built around "The Chappy Pledge," which asks users to vow to be respectful and to not shame or demean others based on looks. I know that sometimes being this upfront with someone can be scary and you have no idea what the other person will respond with but it's the easiest way to get a straight up answer.
Inside Lgbt Dating Sites Advice
But most of the others are just plain dating apps. Features for introverts: Since AFF has millions upon millions of users from around the world, there's always a large group of people constantly using it 24 hours a day. As stated earlier, the problem in London is not hooking up. That is pretty much as simple as heading to a local night club and finding a girl who is keen on you. Judging by how communication is limited to a series of intense questions about the desire for kids, meeting the parents and splitting money in a relationship – whoa there, not-yet-friend – it's really not for people who enjoy conversation.
In Europe, men had around six one-night stands while women had four. However, this functionality won't be necessary for all users, so people without check marks might be fakers (or they might just be lazy). EliteSingles is for people who know what they want and don't want to play around on the free dating sites. On AdultFriendFinder, you can look forward to plenty of action — from live streaming and raunchy pictures, to more conservative users who wait to get naked until they meet you in real life. You can be sure that all the people at hookup sites which we recommend to visit are honest and funny.

If you require to run away a poor or dangerous circumstance, grab your cell phone and claim to obtain a real hookers xxx call. Request personal privacy and also walk away.

That is what my partner tells friends that want to pick a date to meet up: "call the chef planning", and that chef is me. Can I not live without a plan, can I not present an event and moderate a debate without a plan, can I not film an episode without being prepared and prepare my guests?
Yes I could, however having a plan and being prepared makes going with the flow even more valuable in my opinion. Having plans and goals is a way of charting a course to your true north. It's a way to make sure you are living according to your values and using your time wisely.
But do not get me wrong : I highly value spontaneity. To a large extent, spontaneity is the truest expression of one of one of my core values: freedom.
So how do I reconcile the desire to plan with the desire to preserve spontaneity?
The reason that the plan is valuable is because it frees you from the tyranny of the moment. While I agree that we want to live in the moment, we need to employ enough restraint to make sure we are living within our values. If we gave in to every impulse, we would end up somewhere we didn't want to go. You always have the ability to choose. Always. It's the one thing that can't be taken away from you.
So we are perfectly free to change our plans, they are our plans after all. But the consistent execution of wide plans in a way improve your options.
If you seize on an unexpected opportunity when you had nothing better to do, that was just common sense.
When you change a well-thought out plan to seize on an unexpected opportunity, that has significance. That's true control over the course of your life.

Take Cover formed in the fall of 2007 and hit the ground running. After a few months of writing, they entered the studio in the spring to record with their good friend and producer Jordan Schmidt (All Time Low, Motion City Soundtrack). Their debut self-titled EP was released that September and was followed by a first tour with Minnesota natives Sing It Loud (Epitaph Records) and You, Me and Everyone We Know (Doghouse Records). The boys were honored to begin their journey as a band with such an esteemed touring package and didn't let the momentum stop there.
After touring on their self-titled EP that following winter and spring of 2009, they began the writing process for their sophomore EP "The Last Word." (Also produced by Jordan Schmidt). Following a sold out hometown release show for this EP, Take Cover hit the road once more in the summer and fall of 2009 with Quietdrive (formerly Sony Records) and The Higher (Epitaph Records).
Over the winter of 2009, Take Cover began putting together an acoustic EP titled Waiting in the Moment, consisting of both old and new songs. This online release, debuting in January of 2010, gave the fans a unique look into the versatility of the band, all the while giving the band more time to write new full band songs during the winter.

#1 New York Times bestseller"Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society." —Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress StudiesA pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times bestseller Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world's foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers' capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk's own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.

Those who endured the Vietnam War are true heroes, but sadly many of them still suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
PTSD is not the only thing that Vietnam veterans are suffering with, Agent Orange is also a mark left on their lives.
AO is a harmful herbicide, with a component of it (dioxin) being poisonous to humans.
It was used during the war to kill thick vegetation, making it easier to move throughout the land and make surprise attacks easier.
Agent Orange is known to cause cancer, and other health conditions, but for those with COPD (and many other respiratory diseases) there is still a possible connection.
Agent Orange:
During the Vietnam War, dioxin was used often, killing vegetation and land in the way of the soldiers.
For 9 years, the US military sprayed herbicides (containing dioxin) over the vast forests and thick vegetation of Vietnam.
During the middle of 1961, the president of South Vietnam requested the U.S. conduct aerial herbicide spraying in the country.
In August of 1961, the Republic of Vietnam Air Force, alongside the U.S. proceeded with the spraying.
Over the 9 year time span, roughly 20,000,000 gallons of multiple different herbicides, were sprayed over parts of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
Roughly 12 percent of South Vietnam had been sprayed with herbicides and other chemicals, at a higher concentration that the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommended.
At about 13 times stronger than the government recommended, the chemicals destroyed roughly 10 million hectares.
Each hectare is 100 meters by 10,000 meters squared, and there are about 100 hectares in a square kilometer.
The area destroyed was roughly 100,000 square kilometers or 24,710,538 acres.
That is close to the size of Kentucky at 25,861,773 acres or Indiana at 23,307,347 acres.
Not only did the herbicides affect the land, but also the soldiers and Vietnamese.
Agent Orange enters the body through physical contact, like brushing up against vegetation with the herbicide on it, or by ingestion, like eating a fruit that has the herbicide sprayed on it.
It is also possible to digest from animals such as poultry, eggs, dairy, fish and shellfish, as they can absorb the chemical as well.
It is more common to have exposure through food (like meat, dairy, fish and shellfish) that are contaminated with dioxin.
Dioxin is a chemical that can last years in the environment, in soil, water (lakes and rivers) and in foods.
After contact with AO, the chemical dioxin enters the body and attaches to a protein called aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR).
When the chemical binds with AhR, it then moves to the nucleus in a cell and can then influence the gene and change the expression of the gene.
In the 1970's, high levels of dioxin were found in the blood of U.S. military who had served in Vietnam.
There is also still high levels of dioxin in the soil of multiple former U.S. airbases in Vietnam.
The Department of Veterans Affairs got 39,419 claims from soldiers who believed they were exposed to AO while in Vietnam.
The DVA only compensated 486 of those soldiers, as the soldiers have to prove they got symptoms during their time in Vietnam or within a year of being discharged in order to get any compensation.
Finally, in 1991 the Agent Orange Act allowed the DVA to declare certain conditions "presumptive" to exposure to AO and dioxin.
The last conditions presumed to be from Agent Orange have been added back in August of 2010, but that does not mean there are not more conditions that can possibly be added.
This helped veterans who served in Vietnam have access to treatment and compensation for their condition.
For those whose boots were "not on the ground" (aircrews), were not covered under the Agent Orange Act, and were not eligible for treatment or compensation.
Those who wrote the Act believed that those in the air would not have been affected by the dioxin and herbicides, so there was no reason to cover them under the Act.
A study by the Institute of Medicine, requested by the Veterans Affairs, looked into the risk of aircrews being exposed to AO and dioxin.
In 2015, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs issued an Interim final rule, allowing aircrews, maintenance staff and aero-medical evacuation crews medical care and compensation.
Agent Orange and COPD:
Though Agent Orange is not directly linked to COPD, it is linked to other conditions and many cancers.
The CDC notes that AO causes a higher risk of leukemia, lymphoma, throat cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, heart disease, soft tissue sarcoma and liver cancer.
Aside from liver cancer, the U.S. Veterans Administration also found that Agent Orange and dioxin can cause all of the conditions above.
Dioxin can cause type 2 diabetes, immune system dysfunction, nerve disorders, muscular dysfunction, hormone disruption and heart disease.
Back in August of 2010, three more conditions were added to the list of illnesses Agent Orange can cause.
Though there have not been any illnesses added in the past few years, it does not mean more will not end up on the list in the future.
For women exposed to dioxin, it is possible for it to cause miscarriages, spina bifida and problems with fetal brain development and nervous system development.
It is also universally known as a carcinogen, which is known to cause cancer.
Many herbicides can cause cancer, but there is not link to other respiratory diseases besides lung cancer and similar cancers.
There is a possibility that the inhalation can trigger lung/respiratory disease, as the dioxin in the herbicides is commonly made from burning gas, oil and coal.
Cigarette smoking can also create dioxins, but the most dangerous dioxin is found in Agent Orange.
Though AO, dioxins and herbicides are not linked to COPD, there are common factors.
Lung cancer can be caused by AO and COPD can increase the risk of lung cancer.
Overall, those exposed to Agent Orange, dioxins and herbicides are not likely to get COPD or any other respiratory disease besides lung cancer.
Though it is possible that AO, dioxins and herbicides can trigger flare ups in those who already have a respiratory disease.
Those with a respiratory disease should avoid any herbicides and pesticides, as it is possible that fumes and reside can trigger a flare up.
If you feel that Agent Orange may have affected you, speak with your doctor about your concerns and your health to see what may be wrong.

About Zaris
(1) Prestidigitator
Waidwen vs Eothas
Zaris replied to Hanubiss's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)It is, however calling it "dissapointing" wouldn't even begin to describe what happens. Waidwen steps out, asks Eothas what is he doing, gets a sh*t answer, then shrugs and goes away without trying to stop him. So yeah, f*ck this guy, as well as all other assh*oles trapped in White Void: oblivion is the only answer for them. Even better: ignoring them and going straight for the dragon.
Splintered reef question
Zaris replied to Ogi79's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)I also have a related question; is there any way to side with fampyrs but also not look like a total b*tch? Because the only option I got was very cowardly and simply didn't fit my evil character (or the fact that you know, I just slaughtered my way to their leader without so much as breaking sweat). Is there any option to force them into obedience? Seems pretty cool to have an undead army as your servants. Especially if that allowed you to hire undead crew. Actually that's weird, if Obsidian didn't allow us for something like that because it seems like exactly the thing they would do.
The dark tone of the first was one of the best parts, because it was something you were up against. Pillars 1 Eder is also one of the best voices to bounce perspectives off of in an RPG. Two of the best parts of the first diluted... I actually have to defend Deadfire's Eder here, because I really liked his dialogues with Eothas and conversations about gods in general. You could really feel this anger of a regular person who realised the truth behind Eora's powers. Very French Revolution, Occupy etc. vibe to it and I think it's important perspective to imagine how most folk will react once they see that the emperor is naked. Everything, from his very first dialogue about Berath's mission, via his personal quest and to ending slides is very coherent, very believable and well done. It shows how a simple farmer/soldier can reevaluate his beliefs and it made me kinda proud to help lead him this way (you know, Scholar/Sage/Rational disposition). I don't know how is he on the "believer" path but I couldn't yet bring myself to play as a godly person; for now it's just various iterations of atheists for me.
-definite upside is number of unique dialogues. In PoE they never came up for both my playthroughs, but here you can "click" just the perfect roleplay build and have amazing feeling, unique for this character. Island aumaua from Deadfire, anybody from Rautai and Fire/Death Godlike are in for a huge treat, even with extra dialogue trees in languages other than English (or you know: Aedyran). You can also understand each side of conflict better thanks to that, despising Rautai as usurpers with one character and aiding them in unifing the savage land with another character. However it's still not as good as factions in New Vegas and Tyranny, where you had to commit to one side; here you can basically f*ck around with all sides right until the last mission -number of builds you can create is also amazing, with multiclassing and interesting subclasses. The problem with that is you'll find yourself with dozens ideas for Watcher, but each playthrough will force you along the same, boring route through Port Maje and Digsite, rather than changing something from the very beginning. I was hoping this first island will act as a minature of Archipelago and give us the taste of all factions, so that we can get to know them, and later choose one to aid us in repairing Defiant. Instead we have the same sh*t no matter what. -Combat is nice, with much better AI than PoE, no more running around in circles or waiting idly by while the party is getting slaughtered. -Main story is weird, short and uneven. You really need to think hard in order to find any excuse to not finish the game in 2h since that's what any sensible person would do in our Watcher's shoes; literal god stomping around seems pretty serious.
How? ME3 is exactly the opposite: lone hero saving enitre Galaxy, with his small crew and no allies. They SHOULD end it in a bad way as described above, make Reapers truly Lovecraftian (I know this adjective is overused on the Internet, but here it fits perfectly) and show that there are dangers against which there are no victories. OR that there could be a victory but everybody should unite way sooner.
I agree with Verde that it'd be much better if extra budget from voiceover was used for hiring more writers. It really doesn't improve the experience to have some random NPC do a horrible accent; amazingly written lines do. I still consider Tyranny far superior to any other isometric RPG and it has few voiced dialogues. As for Eora being f*cked I guess it is. But it may be a cool thing: in all fiction of the world, since mythologies to modern games, we have a hero rescue the world in the last second; even cliche-breaking GoT crawled into nice, familiar good/evil conflict. So PoE 3 finishing with an end of the world despite our heroic efforts would be a nice refreshment. This gut-punch would be even better if Watcher becomes really powerful in the last part, almost like a god, and failes nevertheless. A moral along the lines "if everybody did just a little it would save us, but all of the world just waited for a hero and a group of specialists (animancers in that case) to save their lazy as*es" is infinitely better than "hey, one guy/gal can just take all the sh*t on themselves, so you can jut relax and go back to peeling turnips".
So Nemnok - peaceful solution?
Zaris replied to abaris's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Yeah, it's possible to kill just him and spare Kaali, albeit it's not an easy task. It's a bit easier if you have Intimidate 18 since then you can scare Kaali and make him run away. Although in my playthtorugh he stopped just in front of the entrance and suddenly joined the fight after all; don't know whether that's a bug or if he's supposed to behave like that. Either way that made him far enough from Nemnok that I could use AoE.
asnjas you seem to be very frustrated by the fact that you're one of the few people that actually would have to spend any time thinking about puzzles in computer games and instead googles the solutions. Also time and time again people like xzar_monty, aargonhowell and myself wrote here that it's not about puzzles themselves but the overall difficulty and amount of hand-holding, which you seem to be oblivious to. People playing this kind of games don't want grinding, so your point about collecting thousands of items for quests is moot; it's just easy so lazy devs (or MMO devs) do it. But it's not a feature you'd put in any promotional material, wouldn't you? And if Obsidian listened to the whims of stupidest gamers they'd switch to making shooters or other skinner boxes; the fact that they keep to such a hard teritory as isometric RPGs suggests that they want to deliver a quality content for demanding audience with a bit better taste than an average moron with parent's credit card and a Steam account. That's why it's a shame to see them dumb down and not give us more freedom in solving the problems in game (problems, not only puzzles: that includes quests, dialogues etc.). Hope the topic is a bit more clear now.
xzar_monty I didn't play Ultima, I barely know that name by some mentions in Zero Punctuation. That puzzle in BG2 is truly great, but that's still more exemption rather than rule. And it's not like people were massively looking for answers via Internet/magazines, like this guy above said, but rather either did this on their own or accepted that they'll not solve it. It wasn't a problem that devs adressed by dumbing the games down, but rather a great feature that was stripped down. And also puzzles are only one aspect of our issue, right? We're talking also about general approach to giving clues, quest marks and other aides. Verde, kill or not kill is not a major choice: it's a joke. Especially that it doesn't change a thing: you get the same ending and items either way. You just miss out on a good fight that way. And the "puzzles" in this DLC are (as I said) just buming around each area until you find all pieces of lore. The only reason people need help with it is because many people are idiots. You'd need to be seriously inebriated to have any sort of problem with it. Getting lost in Bridge Ablaze because of poor area design does not count as "puzzle". Simple fire puzzle in Engwithan Digsite is more "stimulating" than that because you actually need to read the plate above and connect it to the shields in the other room. And yeah: BoW has nice storytelling. But it would be insulting if a 2-3h story with no branching had anything less. Try giving this quality to a plot with at least two viable routes, than we can talk about really good story.
"We are" And not really: video game puzzles always have been insultingly easy so the only people searching for answers were children. And just because some of your audience spoil the fun for themselves doesn't mean you need to get rid of the fun altogether. Should writers don't include any mystery in their books because some idiots just jump to the last page before actually reading all of the story?
BoW is very well in this regard? Where? : D It's hand-holding from start to finish, no agency, no branching, just short linear story. Good story and well written, but it's always easy to write when you don't have to account for players' decisions. There is no smart thing to do with all 3 spirits, no puzzle to solve: just bum around their area collecting bits of lore and off you go. Not to mention that dialogues with Rymrgrand seem very odd, like his lines were written by different people on different days. One of my characters was huge fan of him and always did the most Rymrgrand thing to do and there is no option to express that; simple "whoo, Big R, awesome to see you man! What needs destruction today?" would suffice. Characters that side with life also don't have much to say: beside stupid taunting of a literal god you can't say nothing. Why can't a pro-animancy Watcher investige (or at least express the will to investigate) the device that allowed to defy the god of death and reach a state of nigh immortality? Or say as a goodbye something along the lines "You know, kith will end you one day. By the power of our minds, our science and our magic even death will die" instead if childish "Why are you such a jerk?" You know why he is a jerk: he's been a **** for centuries!
Unfortunately there will always be some restrictions to our freedom in isometric RPGs, since the mechanics themselves prohibit some actions (you can't say, bar the doors to Deadlight and set it ablaze, or jump overboard and swim to the hidden dock right away) and the devs need to think in advance of every move the player can make. However you're right that they could be a little bit less obvious with the choices they give, since there is great enjoyment in finishing a quest in a way that's your own. For example look how excited people get over their strategies in Xcom (I know, completely different game but I'm talking about psychological effect it has on players) and even something as simple as blowing the cover with one character to snipe the targets behind it with another feels very rewarding; and it feels rewarding because it feels like something of your own, something outside the box. That's why it'd be nice to see at least two "hidden" ways of dealing with the quests, apart from the obvious ones. Especially that Obsidian already did this: one instance that comes to mind is when in New Vegas you must deal with some gun traders. They take your guns at the entrance at the door but you can just buy new ones inside and immediately use them to cause carnage. Or better yet, steal grenades from the shelves and start throwing them all over the place. Simple, but because nobody told you to do it, you feel much better, like you broke the system somehow.
Best roleplay builds
Zaris replied to Zaris's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Death godlikes are children of Berath so not exactly bound to be evil. Just very prone to it because of being ugly motherf*ckers. As for Bleak Walkers I noticed that it's quite common to consider them as a sort of bunch of psychos, comparable to Warhammer's Chaos Warriors. For me they aren't mere brutes but rather people who embrace the true nature of war and conflict, instead of hiding behind honor, loyality or other illusions other warriors use to justify their actions. After all everybody involved in conflict will kill and injure other people, often innocent civilians. And it's not up to soldiers to be merciful because if there was an option for peace it passed long before they got involved. So if you're going to be doing horrible things anyway, you might as well go just a little bit further and use that to your advantage. It was never stated if they chose their modus operandi from sheer lust for violence or rather after a logical calculation done by their founder/s. And, unsuprisingly, their attitude leads to lesser violence since many opponents straight up surrunder when they hear who's coming for them. They use strategy that actually saves the most people, instead of focusing on pretentious moral grandstanding. I prefer that than Maia and Pellagina who pretend to be good while they execute innocents and pretend it's a suprise for them. But of course that's only my take.
Relationships in this game are not super horrible, but as with all other Deadfire's relations, they are just too shallow, as KaineParker said. It'd better if Obsidian focued on making 4 awesome companions with really rich dialogues and unique personalities, that actually allow you to connect rather than making a lot of meaningless companions and sidekicks. Even if these party members didn't match every player, a rich hateful relation is better than bland one (at least in fiction). Right now they're seriously even worse than BioWare in this aspect and on level of Fallout...4. More Verses and Sirins please, less Aloths and Palleginas. Edit: but to actually answer your question all relationships are playful (except Aloth's who sucks anyway) and require you to be lighthearted, max relation with this character and then do their sidequest. They don't revolve around anything in particular. Xoti and Maia give you some nice banter when you are in relationship with them, get jealous and/or protective in some interactions with NPCs, not too bad. What I dislike is the fact that you can't have a negative relationship, when you dislike each other but still feel attracted. You need to max positive rep first and doing it basically requires you to be lighthearted (Clever, Shady and Passionate dialogue options)
Why would Aeldys...
Zaris replied to Hulk'O'Saurus's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Yeah, the bone chair seems a bit much, unless it's made from some Furrante's friends: in that case it's perfect. As for Ukaizo I'd say that leaving it with the storms is one of the best endings for me; it's a huge middle finger for Rauatai and their schemes and it keeps Deadfire wild and unpredictable, the way its should be. Very Galawain if you ask me. Not the choice I'd make as myself but that's the point of RPGs, to get into somebody else's shoes.
