The end of a season before it begunBy Andrew Johnston
THERE was a disappointed sigh across the region on Thursday afternoon.
News filtered through that the Kyabram District League had been called off for 2020.
It was a blow to people across the community who play netball or football in the competition.
Including the entire sport department of the Riverine Herald.
You see, I am a (very) mediocre reserves player with the mighty Girgarre Football and Netball Club.
After making one appearance in 2018, I managed eight games last year in a much-improved showing.
Midway through the season, after many attempts by me to convince him, my fellow journalist Brayden May officially made the move to join Gig as well.
Mazie, who was once referred to in the 5th Quarter magazine as "AJ's mate" when our teammates forgot his name, ended up pulling on the blue and white on nine occasions.
Though our team didn't go as well in 2019 as in 2018 (where we played off in the grand final) it was an enjoyable year.
And going into 2020 there was a good feeling around the club.
With the departure of our great mate Shannon Tucker we had a new senior coach in the VFL-hardened Billy Barnes, who brought a new style of training and match preparation, as well as a new game plan.
While fitness was still incredibly important, our ways of building our base had completely changed.
Laps of the oval, beep tests — those were not a part of it anymore, and for someone who hates running I was completely okay with that.
And yet, by our first (and in the end, only) practice match I was probably the fittest I had been in more than a decade, able to run out drills comfortably where in the past I would have had to take multiple breaks (I am quite fat, you see.)
The bond between the playing group was also fantastic.
In my three years at Girgarre we have always been a close club, and while there were little groups with whom you were closer than others, there wasn't one person that I couldn't turn to if I needed help or support.
Shan had fostered that environment, and Billy had worked to continue it, and while you will often read stories about successful teams where the players didn't really like each other, I have always felt that being close as a group will get you even further.
While the reserves played finals last year and a grand final in 2018, it has been a long time since the seniors were even in the finals, let alone contending for a flag.
In 2018 we fell agonisingly close to making it, but just couldn't get over the line.
This felt like the year, there was an air around the place that something might happen in 2020.
But as we got closer, the murmurs of COVID-19 started to build, and it began to have an impact on football.
First was the instruction to stay away if you felt even slightly unwell, then to bring your own water bottle, and then finally that we were putting training on hold.
That was all in the space of a couple of days.
The league, along with everyone else in the valley, put our season on hold until at least the end of May, though I think deep down we all knew it was going to be a lot longer than that.
We were given activities, different conditioning blocks that we could do away from the club in order to keep fit, as hope remained the season would get up at some point.
And as it started to look like we were doing well in our battle with COVID, the dream stayed alive — though I was probably kidding myself.
I was simultaneously reporting about all the issues we were facing up to, while telling myself I'd be back on the park before I even knew it.
The reality is with the way restrictions were moving we were always going to be up against it.
And when the Heathcote District League was called off, I think I knew we weren't far off.
So on Thursday, we got the news — no sport for our club in 2020.
Our 100th year celebration would go by without us pulling on the colours.
And though I understand why the decision was made, it doesn't stop me from being desperately sad about the matter.
There is a large group of people across our community who just lost football and netball for an entire year, who put in the hard work for months in pre-season in order to play, who continued to do the work in their time off, who are now without a season.
It's a damn shame.
I don't know if other comps will get off the ground this year — personally, I hope they do.
I hope the GV, Picola and District and Murray League all get the opportunity to do what they love, and I hope it is viable to do so.
And I'm excited for football to return in coming weeks, kicking off for me in the only way I would want it to as Hawthorn takes on bitter enemy Geelong.
Not to mention the excellent news that Super Netball isn't far off either.
And that will fill a lot of the void the absence football and netball has left in many of our lives.
But we also now have an opportunity to make our 2021 season better.
We have close to a year to build up to our returns to the courts and ovals of the region, get fit, sharpen our skills and make the best of our opportunity when it finally comes.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, so let's hope it does for all of us as players.
Hell, I might even do some running in my time away (not heaps, I know my limits).
Here is hoping 2021 is a special year for us all.

For Traveller there is the Cepheus Engine system which is a pay what you want clone of the original 3 black books.
so free if you don't want to pay. But still has the lifepath random character creation system.
A point buy modern day investigation supernatural but not necessarily horror, is Limnal. Just one (not overpriced) book
Fredrix Liminal is worth every penny just for the art.
Been wanting Liminal... sounds like my kinda setting...
Coriolis has free quickstart and is point buy, not focused on combat and has a unique si-fi setting.
I haven't played it but it use the Year Zero Engine and that is both good and fast.
Another Year Zero Engine choice is Tales From The Loop, definitely not combat oriented but no free quickstart.
Forbidden Lands is the fantasy variant, it has a free quickstart but is a pretty dark if unique setting.
For the Monster of the Week question, I've never played that system but have a rough idea of the game from its Evil Hat description. If (We Are) Anonymous is having trouble with PCs gunning down the monsters, then consider adding consequence reactions. Let these sorts of societal, police, and other NPC elements help pressure the PCs into taking less extreme measures. Here are 3 examples of what I mean:
1a) Portray the monster as a hiding in plain sight John Doe (wide range of how to make this happen) and have the PCs get caught gunning down the person. This could happen with some passer by seeing it and reporting to the police or getting recorded & posted online, etc. Then it could lead to criminal investigations, social blow back, and so on.
1b) Pretty much the same as #1, but make the hiding in plain sight person have some sort of fame / well known / celebrity status, so that any action taken against the person would cause similar repercussions but ramped up exponentially. E.g. Beyonce has her Beyhive that is more than willing to rain hell down on anyone that so much as slanders her name, so imagine is a group of unknowns tried to harm her.
2) If the PCs are working for a larger group, e.g. the FBI to Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, then have their bosses issue new directives such as capture, not kill. That could open many doors for future game opportunities--what does that group do with the captured monsters, what if the monsters escape, etc.
3) Have other NPC forces act as immediate confounders to the PCs. Here a a few mini examples:
A) The government. Monster creates some dangerous pathogen, so the CDC, National Guard, etc. come in to quarantine the area and have a widespread presence everywhere around, so that it becomes very difficult for the PCs to get enough alone time to gun down the monster. B) For a conspiratorial twist, the incoming group could be something akin to Monarch (King Kong / Godzilla). C) Alternatively, there could be a rival group hunting the monster for their own reasons and have their own tactics. If they team up with the PCs, it could mean adopting different strategies. Or if they don't team up, then many the rival hunters keep appearing at the right place at the right time to botch the PCs shoot 'em up strategy. D) Also, hunters doesn't mean they have to kill either; a fun twist might make them 'savers / conservationists'. The 'hunters saviors' could be members of a monster-friendly version of any well known conservation groups for endangered species (like WWF or PETA). E) Riffing of the previous example, it could also be a supernatural-friendly savior that seeks to intervene, like in Grimm where the main character seeks to keep the peace between humans and other creatures.
For @Alverant's question about rpg game preferences, I'll recap the preferences: 1) RP > combat emphasis; 2) PCs as heroes; 3) free gamebooks or not required to play at first; 4) point-based system; 5) non-class system; 6) modern or sci-fi setting.
I totally agree with Stu's comment that items 1 & 2 relate more to the people at the table rather than the system, although I agree with Jason's mention that system mechanics do influence the type of play by design. For item 3, there are some great suggestions above, but also consider quickstarts that are almost always either completely free or PWYW--there are many over on DTRPG to check out. There are lots of choices among them that can fit items 5 and 6. If you are open to more character generation methods then point-buy that also do not use random generation, the flood gates also open wider. Certainly don't discount the idea of universal systems that you can quickly adapt to a wide range of settings and game play styles.
If you caught some of my other posts, you might know that I'm a fan of FATE by Evil Hat Productions which also checks off just about all the preference boxes. It isn't a point buy system per se, but very fluid in character build options. Use of aspects and fate points put heavy stress on RP. Incredibly flexible for settings. Even more flexible is the choice to play FATE Core or FATE Accelerated--both are full systems but the latter is more streamlined especially on how characters approach actions. Both are available with a free access SRD that is incredibly detailed--so much that you really don't need the books. However, the main book as a PDF is PWYW with a suggested $5 or $15 for the hardcover. Make your own settings or choose from a very wide range of FATE worlds including a many flavors of modern & sci-fi. Some of these are the SRD to explore and many are currently PWYW over on DTRPG. If you don't want to shell out for fancy FATE dice, you can also use regular d6s and just treat the numbers as if Fate dice (1-2 as -, 3-4 as blank, and 5-6 as +).
Gumshoe by Pelgrane Press works well for investigative / mystery games. It has point-buy character creation and encourages heavy RP and collaboration. There are a few forks of it for different setting types, and you might be most interested: Mutant City Blues (modern-ish NCI supers), Ashen Stars (sci-fi with alien races), or TimeWatch (time travel). Only bummer is the cost as each is around $20 but there is a free Gumshoe SRD to get started.
The PIP system by Third Eye Games is also universal system that is extremely flexible with its style of play and setting options (so the roll v. role is on the players). It has a point buy system. While it has archetypes that may give a class flavor, they don't restrict or advance like classes in many of the d20 game flavor. There is a PWYW quickstart (suggested $1.99) and if you like it the main book is on-sale for $14.99.
I could go on, but this is starting to become a novel... >.<
I think the setting is a big factor in whether or not the PCs can be heroes in a game. For instance games like Shadowrun and Cyberpunk really lends itself for the PCs to be amoral mercenaries/criminals or at the least have moral gray areas. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it's hard to do. I was part of a Shadowrun campaign where we played cops who were framed and kicked out of the force and had to go into the "wild sprawl" of Seattle. I wanted to still be the good guys, protect and serve those who have been left behind by society. The other players were more than happy to become the kind of criminals we fought earlier. There was bad communication of expectations and the group broke up.
For cheap/free systems I'm just tired of buying books that I'm never going to use. That part of my gaming life is over. Next time I buy an RPG book it will be for a campaign I am in and won't end anytime soon. If the game book is free/cheap then I'd be more willing to take the chance on something new. I have the FATE book and tried a game and something didn't click with me. This was years ago so I may have to try it again to be sure of how I feel about it.
I have some philosophical differences with Tolkien, particularly the way he glamorizes the past and religion. It would take a lot to make me want to play in a setting that's perpetually stuck in a period of history that would execute me for being who I am. It's happened, but only when the GM in my other letters made the main campaign too hostile for my tastes. If other people enjoy a fantasy setting, that's great. I'm not trying to attack them, just saying why it's not for me.
I find it mind boggling and surprising that when asking for a free point-buy system, nobody mentions Moments of Truth! It's PWYW and ticks the boxes as applicable for the settings requested.
My idea for Monster of the week would be something that possess innocent NPC's.
They can just kill all NPC's but I doubt that would work in the long run if the monster start possessing the pc...
Alverant I think the setting is a big factor in whether or not the PCs can be heroes in a game. For instance games like Shadowrun and Cyberpunk
Right on. Robin Hood type of Shadowrun / Cyberpunk game that stood for the people over the corporation?
Alverant I don't want to GM until I get more exposure to how other people GM. I didn't exactly have the best rolemodels.
When in doubt, jump on in. Probably better to have a group of players that are willing to let you get GM comfort-zone established. Consider asking for constructive feedback after the game and go from there.
I forgot to add, I don't want to GM until I get more exposure to how other people GM. I didn't exactly have the best rolemodels.
Alverant As rujedi said just do it.
Warn the players that you are a new GM and learn by doing.
I have started to play/run play-by-post games and I really like the slower pace with less stress, maby try that as a first step.

Physical labor is a prominent part of Halie Smith's world, and naturally engrained in her art practice. Emphasizing physical labor and tradition, Halie strives to bring what she believes to be at the foundation of humanity into a contemporary context. She finds value and stability in the ways things used to be done that seem foreign today. She thinks of painting as a form of labor, which turns the body into a tool. The way Halie paints is a continuous eye to hand relationship. However, emotions, worldviews and environmental factors are the lenses that the image is filtered through. Feeling the temperature of the room and hearing the sounds in the environment, being able to tap into the emotions and tension in the situation are all factors that affect the way the work is produced. The way Smith paints is a byproduct of this environmental awareness, it has a kind of human touch that cannot be achieved by a manmade machine. This old way of thinking that Halie finds so important is still active in small towns in New England and she lets these traditions grow into fruition through her paintings and sculptures.
HALIE SMITH is a figurative oil painter and sculptor from central MA. She is an MCLA '18 alum, and currently a graduate student at MassArt in Boston pursuing her MFA in 2D fine art. Halie is an assistant Art Teacher at The Worcester Art Museum and Firefighter on the Spencer Fire Department. Her work focuses on recording what she witnesses and experiences in her rural hometown. She is a member of the Massasoit Art Guild.

Raise your hand if you use someone else's Netflix, Hulu Plus, or Amazon Prime account to stream shows. Thought so.
New research from The Diffusion Group (TDG) shows that more than 20% of broadband users streaming video from an online subscription service use another person's credentials (someone outside of their own household).
In what is perhaps both complimentary of and worrisome for Dish, Sling TV users are the most flagrant offenders. 25.5% of those accessing Sling TV use another person's credentials. Hulu Plus came in second place with 21.2% while Netflix came in third with 19.9%.
"While it is widely acknowledged that 'cord cheating' is occurring, few comprehend how widespread the behavior has become," said Michael Greeson, TDG Founder and Director of Research. "This behavior reflects the unfortunate mindset among many of today's media users that it's perfectly acceptable to 'share' digital media — whether files or service access — among friends and family. Why should my daughter pay to stream Netflix when she can simply use my credentials to access the service with little fear of reprisal?"
Many have thought that providers would wait to build numbers before cracking down on 'cord cheaters' but this has not been the case. With so much competition, it is still a user numbers game for providers, and it may be awhile before we see any significant enforcement. Until then, these percentages are sure to rise.

Roger Federer loses to unseeded John Millman
New York: Five-time champion Roger Federer crashed out of the US Open 2018 Championship after losing to unseeded Australian John Millman in the fourth round of the match at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York on Tuesday.
Federer in the very first set his foot but Millman fought his way back to break point. Federer eventually with 6-3 points won the first set. However, Millman showed an excellent footwork by reeling off three consecutive games to win the second set with 7-5 scoreline.
Making 76 unforced errors, the World no.2 faced seven break points and landed only four of 22 first serves in the second game of the second set.
Millman, currently World no.55, never previously beaten a top-10 opponent, but he appeared to have even less chance with Federer a set and a break up and holding two set points. But he somehow clawed his way back to win 3-6 7-5 7-6 (8/6) 7-6 (7/3).
Federer for the fourth time in his career, committed double fault and for the first time he lost to a man ranked outside the top-50 at the open.
Millman will now face sixth seed Novak Djokovic. With this Millman achieved first top-ten victory and the first time in the second week of a Grand Slam. He is also the first Australian to defeat Federer in a grand slam match since Pat Rafter in 1999.

COVID FAQs
COVID-19: What Every Veteran Needs to Know
Call centers at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and some VA health facilities are currently experiencing very high numbers of calls. They ask that you use their online tools for the following questions:
Healthcare, appointments and more
Benefit payments, claims and claim exams
Debt, copays, appeals and other financial concerns
Status of VA national cemeteries and burials
For general questions about COVID-19, such as symptoms, prevention steps, guidance for travelers and more, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Frequently Asked Questions
What's coronavirus COVID-19?
The CDC defines COVID-19 as a new type of coronavirus (or "novel coronavirus"). COVID-19 belongs to a large family of viruses that are common in people and different animal species. On rare occasions, animal coronaviruses can infect people, and then spread from person-to-person. This is how COVID-19 started. Typical symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, coughing and shortness of breath. Symptoms can range from mild to severe.
To learn more about COVID-19, prevention steps, guidance for high-risk groups, travelers and more, visit the CDC.
What should I do if I have symptoms?
If you have a fever, coughing and shortness of breath, call your VA medical center before going to a clinic, urgent care or emergency room. You can also send your doctor a secure message through My HealtheVet.
Contacting the VA first helps us protect you, medical staff and other patients.
If you're not sure about your symptoms, the VA's Annie text messaging service can help you monitor them and advise you when to contact your VA care team or your facility's advice nurse.
The messages also provide general wellness tips and steps you can take to protect yourself. You can subscribe to Annie coronavirus precautions messages yourself, or ask your VA care team to assign it to you.
Visit the CDC to learn more about the symptoms of COVID-19.
What's the VA doing to deal with COVID-19?
The VA's emergency management coordination cell (EMCC) have started clinical screenings at all VA facilities. Learn about VA's public health response
Can I be tested for COVID-19?
Testing is based on many factors, including the severity of symptoms, other existing illnesses or conditions, possible exposure and other criteria. The VA health facilities have been testing Veterans who meet the testing criteria provided by the CDC. There's no charge for testing.
What should I do if I have an upcoming VA health appointment?
For routine appointments, the VA recommends using telehealth (phone or video) for your scheduled appointment. You can also cancel and reschedule your appointment for a later date.
If you have a nonurgent elective procedure scheduled, the VA may contact you to cancel or reschedule for a later date. Note: Urgent and emergent procedures will continue as scheduled.
To change your in-person appointment to a telehealth visit:
- Use Secure Messaging through My HealtheVet to send a message to your provider.
- Use the VA appointments tool to request a telehealth appointment online. (Available only for some types of health services.)
Once your provider schedules a telehealth appointment, you'll receive a VA Video Connect link (or another approved video meeting tool). Learn more about VA Video Connect.
What should I do if I have a community care appointment?
If you have a scheduled appointment with a community care (non-VA) provider, please contact them directly before going.
Some community care providers may be affected by closures, limited services, quarantining or social distancing based on the CDC and local health department guidelines. If your appointment is canceled, work with your community care provider to reschedule.
The VA is extending authorizations for community care referrals, so you can continue to work with your community care provider to meet your needs. If you have concerns about rescheduling your community care appointment, send a secure message to your VA provider.
Can I get a referral to see a community care provider if I can't be seen at VA?
During the pandemic, the VA is continuing to make community care referrals when needed. Because of COVID-19, they are currently prioritizing referrals for urgent or other medically necessary care.
Note: Some community care providers may be affected by closures, limited services, quarantining or social distancing based on the CDC and local health department guidelines.
Appointments to see community care providers need to be approved by the VA (except for emergency and urgent care needs). Getting a referral depends on eligibility, type of care and other factors.
At this time, community care eligibility requirements haven't changed. Learn about eligibility for community care
How do I reschedule or cancel my upcoming VA appointment?
Sign in to your VA.gov account to reschedule or cancel your appointments online.
Note: Some clinics are advising patients to not reschedule or schedule new appointments for some types of routine care, as they develop more guidance on safely providing care to protect patients and staff. Because this is a rapidly changing situation, the best way to get the most up-to-date facility information is to check your local VA health facility's website. Find a VA location.
View, schedule or cancel a VA appointment online
Please sign in to use this service. Try signing in with your DS Logon, My HealtheVet, or ID.me account. If you don't have an account, you can create one on the MyHealtheVet website.
What if I tried to call my clinic, and I can't get through?
To help the VA address the most urgent needs first, they ask that you use one of their online tools for routine or nonurgent concerns. You can:
- Use Secure Messaging. You can send a secure message to your provider about any health concern or question.
- Try health chat (limited availability). You may be able to use health chat if your primary VA health facility is part of the VA health chat pilot. See if you're able to use health chat
What should I do if I need to refill my prescription?
Please request refills as soon as possible, but no later than 10 days before you run out of your current prescription. And please check that the VA has your current mailing address on file in your VA.gov profile so they can send your prescriptions to the right address. If you need to, you can sign in to change your address online.
Note: If you currently get your prescription sent to you by mail, you'll continue to receive your refill requests as normal.
You'll need to actively request your refill in one of these ways:
- Online with the My HealtheVet prescription refill and tracking tool.
- Through your mobile device with our new Rx Refill mobile app.
- By phone. Call the number on your prescription label for your VA pharmacy's automated refill line or to speak to a pharmacy representative. Be sure to have your Rx number from the prescription label and Social Security number ready.
- By mail. Complete the prescription refill form that came with your medication. Mail the form to the VA pharmacy address listed on your medication paperwork.
For questions about your prescriptions, send a secure message to your healthcare team through My HealtheVet.
What should I do if I run out of refills on my prescription?
You can request a prescription renewal in one of these ways:
- Call the number on your prescription label. Be sure to have your Rx number from the prescription label and Social Security number ready. For some medications, your healthcare team may need to contact you before you can get more medication.
- Send a secure message to your provider through My HealtheVet.
- Call your local VA medical center.
Find a VA location
What if my prescription renewal requires an in-person evaluation?
If you need to renew a prescription for a medication that requires an in-person evaluation, the VA has temporarily updated their policy to allow this type of evaluation through telehealth (phone or video) appointment.
To request a telehealth appointment for a prescription renewal, send a secure message to your provider through My HealtheVet.
Can I use emergency care?
If you're experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest ER.
If you have an urgent care need, the VA asks that you contact them first. You can use secure messaging or call your facility's advice nurse before going to a clinic or walk-in urgent care facility. By not using the ER for nonmedical emergencies, you can help the VA protect you, medical staff and other patients, as well as help address critical medical needs first during this period of COVID-19 outbreak.
Symptoms that may need emergency medical (immediate) attention include:
- Chest pain
- Numbness or tingling in your arms or on one side of your body
- Severe fever or violent vomiting
- Bleeding that doesn't stop
Symptoms that may need urgent care attention (within 24 to 48 hours) include:
- Sore throat, earache
- Sprains or strained muscles from sports or exercise
- Minor cuts and injuries
Note: For emergencies, you don't need a referral or approval from the VA to go to an ER in your community (an ER that's not a VA facility).
I don't have symptoms, but I feel anxious and overwhelmed. What can I do?
First, it's important to know you're not alone, and the VA is here for you. Concerns about COVID-19 can be stressful for many people. You can take steps to manage stress and get support.
- Stay connected and healthy. Stay in touch with friends and family by phone and social media. Follow your normal routine as much as possible, and get enough sleep and exercise.
- Keep your existing mental health appointments. If you currently have regular sessions, you can change them to telehealth (phone or video) appointments by sending your provider a secure message through My HealtheVet.
- Ask for a new mental health appointment. If you need same-day mental healthcare—or want to request a new appointment. Find a VA location.

Visit the CDC to learn more about managing COVID-19 stress and anxiety
How do I know if my VA health facility is still open for regular appointments?
Because this is a rapidly changing situation, the best way to get the most up-to-date facility information is to check your local VA health facility's website. Find a VA location.
Can I visit a patient at a VA facility?
The VA is currently following CDC guidelines and limiting visitors for patients receiving care in a VA facility, including a hospital, nursing home, or spinal cord injury and disorder center. Limiting outside visitors helps protect older Veterans and those who already have health issues.
The VA does make an exception for Veterans who qualify as a "compassionate case." This means the Veteran is in their last stage of life in a hospice unit and you can only visit that Veteran's room.
Visit the CDC website for more tips on stopping community spread.
Will my benefit payment be delayed because of COVID-19?
The VA is currently processing all benefit payments as normal. Benefit payments include payments for disability, pension, education payments to your school and more.
How can Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, help?
If you are not receiving your benefits or have been denied benefits, we are here. COVID-19 is a major "distraction" for the government but should in no way impact the needs of those Veterans in need of benefits today – and tomorrow. To date, Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, is practicing the guidelines of the CDC (social distancing), but still able to seamlessly serve both new and existing Veterans' Disability cases. If you'd like to learn more about filing a Veterans disability claim, feel free to contact us at 877.526.3455 or Fight4Vets.com for your free evaluation.

Home to more than 50 endemic species of chameleon, Madagascar is home to almost half the chameleon population in the world.
On the island of Madagascar, chameleons come in all different shapes, sizes, and color varietals. Each chameleon species has pincers attached to their appendages. This helps them to grasp trees, which is where you will often find them basking.
When it comes to changing color, chameleons do not change in order to camouflage themselves, but rather, they change color depending on the temperature, amount of light, and during courting of a mate. A chameleon's colors also change depending on its mood. For example, a chameleon might display different colors when its calm as opposed to when it feels threatened.
Two other interesting features about chameleons are their eyes and tongue. Chameleons can look above their heads, practically all the way behind them, and of course, all the way in front of them, all without shifting their body or head position. As for their tongues, chameleons can extend their tongues far out in front of them to catch insects—this length varies depending upon the species of chameleon.
During a trip to Madagascar, you'll have the opportunity to witness a wide variety of chameleon species during your treks in the northern rainforests, along the roads, and even in the dry and arid deserts such as the central southern region of Isalo National Park.
One of my favorite encounters with a chameleon happened on the road on the island of Nosy Be, which is at the northern tip of Madagascar. As we were driving to our boat for our island-hopping adventures, our guide swiftly stopped our vehicle and we jumped out to observe what was one of the most beautiful creatures I had ever seen in my life. It was a chameleon that was covered in practically every color of the rainbow. He traveled very slowly across the road and had a little sway to his body every time he moved. It appeared that he had a long night drinking and just stepped out of a local bar. We all giggled about his "drunken" state and observed him for nearly 5-minutes as he made his way to a female chameleon who was much smaller and was brown with black spots (not nearly as beautiful as the male!).
As he approached the bushes where the female was we noticed he stopped. Something had caught his eye. After a moment of preparation the chameleon slung his tongue out almost four inches and snatched up a fly! And I caught part of his kill on camera, so see below:
Another really amazing encounter with a chameleon in Madagascar happened at the Amber Mountain National Park, also in the northern region of Madagascar. While walking through the rainforest in search of lemurs, our guide stopped us and picked up one of the tiniest creatures I had ever seen—we all could not believe how he spotted it! See below for the picture:
Isalo National Park also boasted some excellent chameleon sightings. In fact, this guy lived in a tree outside my room the entire time I was there:

No guys, they are just trying to say we are ugly
Maybe it wouldn't seem so pussyfoot if they came out like real men and said 'guess what, we just made an album and it's called ____' instead of lurking in their tour bus for months before telling us what they've got. One day I think they just want us to not expect anything spectacular, and the next they say it's so huge everyone will shit themselves. Decide already
Well, Ugly or not, as long as it is a good album... I'm sure I won't be disappointed much as I like all their previous work ! I hope there will be a nice cover though
They haven't made nice covers since No Commands
That's another debate
They've made more covers than they should've.. the Scorpions cover kicks ass tho, I still think it's one of their best songs ever.
I guess the cover on the new album will be Prince's Purple Rain...
*loud slap on forehead*
I hope so, that song is amazing. Prince kicks ass.
"My Name Is Prince" would be awesome!
scorpions suck
Just because the song is awesome, doesn't mean that the cover will be
Your opinion doesn't count because it's shitty. Lil' Bloodred best song after something wild? Okay, I understand that an opinion is an opinion but common sense dictates otherwise.
And I'm hoping for a Lady Gaga cover.. they mentioned it a few times and the Alejandro melody was played by keyboard in COBTV3.
Roope said in a interview (from this fall) that they recorded Eddie Murphys "Party All the Time" .... If they didn't do any other covers i'm pretty sure thats the one that will be released.
^Never heard before, do you remember where the interview was from, or where to find it?
it was posted in on this or the interview thread. A youtube video interview with Roope from some of the gigs they did this summer or fall. (From brutal assault or bloodstock?). I tried to find but with no success.
Guess I know which one you mean, seems I overheard/forgot the cover part. Thank you!
Brother of Metal's opinion is the only right one!!! Your ignorance will be punished in the distant future.
That song has indeed got some cool stuff in it. Apparently the keyboard beat at the end of COB TV 3 is the intro of this song.
heh it would be pretty fkin awesome cover. it reminds me smthing but i cant remembere what. and could someone share that interview?
Fresh Prince of Bel Air would be nice as well.

Displaying items by tag: killer whales
Orca Killer Whales Spotted in Strangford Lough (VIDEO)
A pod of orcas or killer whales caused great excitement in Strangford Lough, County Down yesterday. As reported by BBC News NI, local skipper Richard Connor from Causeway Boats said that it may be unusual but not unheard of. It was the third time he had seen them in 22 years of skippering.
Biologist Suzanne Beck from the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute said the group that was in the lough are part of the West Coast community and may be seen a few times a year. "Usually they might travel on round the coast and the guys in the Hebrides might get a sighting and later they may travel right round Ireland, so you do hear of them every so often. They're just doing this circuit around us the whole time and it's only when they come close to the coast that we're getting these lucky sightings" They could have come in to chase a seal or been interested in different noises, but the concern was that they may keep travelling up through the Lough.
According to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group NI they were initially reported yesterday afternoon several miles off Ardglass on the County Down coast before they pushed north into Strangford Narrows. "We can confirm from the presence of the bull known as "John Coe" that they are from the Scottish West Coast Community Group, which today has a core group of just seven or eight remaining individuals. They are recorded most years on a few occasions in Irish waters and this is the eighth time this apex predator has been recorded along the Co. Down coast since 2001. This is however not the first time killer whales have entered Strangford Narrows as a pod of four were photographed on Regatta Day off Portaferry on Aug. 18th 1962". It was an exciting sight for children.
The McCarthy family got wind it was happening from the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group NI's Facebook page and decided to take a quick detour. "When we arrived, they were on the turn back and there were three boats near them", Mr McCarthy said. I was concerned that it could turn into an awkward situation if they didn't find their way out through the Narrows but they seemed to make their way back fairly comfortably". He said the three boats out with them "did a good job of holding back". "It was a stunning night and what a treat," he added.
Killer Whales Absorbing Cocktail of Heavy Pollutants - New Study
Flame retardants, pesticides and other pollutants are among the toxic ingredients found in four killer whales stranded on the Irish coastline, according to a new study writes Lorna Siggins
Blubber samples analysed by scientists from Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) and the Marine Institute showed that the marine mammals concentrate persistent pollutants to "very high levels".
The samples were taken from three killer whales stranded in Galway, Mayo and Waterford between 2010 and 2017 - one of which was pregnant with a near term foetus that was also sampled.
The study showed bio-accumulation of 16 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), seven brominated flame retardants and 19 organochlorine pesticides, according to results published in the Marine Pollution Bulletin.
Concentrations of PCBs in one killer whale, stranded at Doohoma, Co Mayo, exceeded the suggested toxicity threshold of 17mg/kg, the authors state.
GMIT PhD student and senior author Moira Schlingermann noted that "although these concentrations are high, these results are relatively low from a global perspective, particularly in comparison to the highly contaminated transient killer whales from coasts along the north-east Pacific Ocean".
"These contaminants are known as legacy pollutants as they were produced decades ago but still persist in our marine waters," she said.
" We are also interested in "emerging" pollutants, new chemicals that have only recently been designed and released into our environment and for which we do not know their effects,"she said.
"Persistent pollutants continue to be of major concern for marine apex predators such as killer whales and it is vital that they are continually monitored and reported in order to add to the knowledge of pollutants across the entire range of this species," she said.
Dr Philip White of GMIT supervised much of the work with Dr Brendan McHugh from the Marine Institute and it was conducted at the institute laboratories in Oranmore, Co Galway.
"We have to do everything we can to prevent these substances from entering the marine environment"
Dr Simon Berrow, co-supervisor at GMIT and Irish Whale and Dolphin Group chief executive had warned of the "dire future" facing killer whales last year.
"The build-up of persistent pollutants and their effects on these animals reproduction are undoubtedly the biggest long term threat they and species of dolphin and porpoise face in our oceans," Dr Berrow said.
"We have to do everything we can to prevent these substances from entering the marine environment and the food chain, because once in it, they will be almost impossible to remove," he said.
This work was conducted under a GMIT RISE studentship, which was part-funded by the IWDG.

Killer Whales Spotted Off Dublin Coast May be Same That Visited Blasket Islands Earlier This Year
#MarineWildlife - Video posted on social media over the weekend of two killer whales spotted off the Co Dublin coast has gone viral.
Trawlerman James Mac Cluskey used his phone to record a few seconds' glimpse of the pair of male orcas, which came close to his boat some 8km off Rockabill on Saturday afternoon (17 November).
According to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG), it's the second sighting of the largest species in the dolphin family off the East Coast in recent weeks, with another fisherman reporting an encounter some 22km off Skerries on 30 October.
And it's believed the duo may be part of the Scottish West Coast Community Group, a unique orca pod long under threat of extinction owning to not having produced any calves for years.
Earlier this year, whales from this group were identified feeding off the Blasket Islands in Co Kerry, showing just how far their range extends.
'Operation Orca' Set To Survey Scottish Killer Whales On Celtic Voyager
#MarineWildlife - The RV Celtic Voyager departed the Port of Cork yesterday (Wednesday 24 October) for 'Operation Orca', a 12-day survey of an offshore killer whale community associated with the Northeast Atlantic mackerel fishery.
A team of marine scientists from University College Cork is on board the research vessel that's headed to waters east of the Orkneys, to study the orcas that feed on mackerel between October and February each year.
"This is the first time a dedicated research vessel will be heading up to study these killer whales and we are hopeful to come back with a lot of data," said PhD researcher and chief scientist Róisín Pinfield in her introductory blog for the survey.
"We will have cameras, GoPros, drones, underwater hydrophones collecting acoustic data so we can hear the killer whales and a RIB so we can get in close if weather conditions allow. Time to pray to the weather gods to keep the storms away!"
The [email protected] blog will be regularly updated by the Celtic Voyager team once they reach the fishing grounds and begin their survey, which runs till Sunday 4 November.
Killer Whales Future Threatened By Human Waste
The prognosis for killer whales in Europe is dire, according to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group.
There was great excitement and media interest in the sighting of killer whales off West Kerry over a month ago. The IWDG has identified them as what is known as the Scottish West Coast Community of killer whales. It has recorded them previously in Irish waters, from County Antrim, to Cork and from Co Kerry to Mayo.
But that group of whales may soon become extinct and that is a warning over the way in which marine waters are being abused as a sink for human waste. The warning has been given by the Chief Scientific Officer of the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group, Dr.Simon Berrow, speaking to Tom MacSweeney on his THIS ISLAND NATION radio programme. Listen to the clip below.
#MarineWildlife - Two killer whales spotted feeding off the Blasket Islands earlier this week have been identified as members of a unique pod from Scotland.
"Killer whale sightings in any Irish waters are rare events, and they seem to be getting rarer," said Pádraig Wholley of the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group, whose member Nick Massett photographed the orcas in Dingle Bay on Monday 5 March.
Massett identified one of the two cetaceans immediately as John Coe, and its partner as another adult male, Aquarius. RTÉ News says the orcas were likely hunting seals in the area.
Both are members of the genetically distinctive Scottish West Coast Community Group, which commonly feeds in the Hebridean Islands but has previously been found as far as Lough Swilly and Scotland's east coast, likely in search of food.
"Colleagues from the Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust can confirm that John Coe was seen exactly seven days [previously] in Scottish waters … which tells us a lot about the movements of this highly mobile apex predator," said Wholley.
The Scottish West Coast Community Group has been feared to be on the 'brink of extinction' for many years. In January 2016 the pod lost a female member, Lulu, due to what was at first thought to be entanglement with fishing gear but was later blamed on PCB pollution.
Kerry Trawler Lands Second Giant Squid In As Many Months
#MarineWildlife - Once was exciting enough — but a Kerry trawler had landed a second giant squid in as many months, as RTÉ News reports.
Local fisherman Pete Flannery landed what was the first giant squid recorded in Irish waters for 22 years in mid May, as previously reported on Afloat.ie.
But amazingly, he had repeated the feat this month while trawling in the same area, on the Porcupine Bank west of Dingle.
Before this year, only five of the enormous cephalopods had been found in Irish waters since records began in 1673.
What's more, two of those squid were landed by Flannery's own father Michael back in 1995.
"I'll probably have to catch a third now so that I can have bragging rights," Flannery told RTÉ News, which has more on the story HERE.
Another Giant Squid landed in Dingle. Only 7th recorded in Ireland in 350 years. Amazingly 4 have been caught by Flannery family! @rtenews pic.twitter.com/1gWBYZr045— Seán Mac an tSíthigh (@Buailtin) July 18, 2017
Elsewhere, a Galway man recorded video of a killer whale carcass washed up on the shore near Roundstone in Connemara.
Independent.ie reports that the orca sighting was confirmed by the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group, whose Mick O'Connell said the species is "neither common nor very rare [but] you wouldn't see then very often."
Ireland's North Coast is a regular haunt for an "evolutionary significant" pod of killer whales that has been under threat for years due to its lack of young.
Pollution Threat To Ireland's Killer Whale Regulars
#MarineWildlife - "High pollution levels" could be to blame for the failure of Ireland's only resident killer whale pod to produce any calves.
As reported two years ago on Afloat.ie, the well-known orca pod often seen between Scotland and Ireland has been judged to be on the 'brink of extinction', with its conservation status described as "critical".
Since then the pod's number has dwindled from nine adults to just seven, with no juveniles recorded in the 30 years the so-called Scottish West Coast Community has been monitored by researchers.
One reason for that, posits Dr Simon Berrow of the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG), could be "high pollution levels" in the food chain which may have rendered them infertile.
"If you're moving all around Europe and living a long time, you get a lot of contaminants from fish over time," he told the Irish Mirror.
That's a theory backed up by evidence of pollutants detected in whale carcasses beached around Ireland in recent years.
Far from the ferocious beasts of horror tales, Ireland's killer whales are considered among the gentle giants in the marine wildlife world - with one recently the recipient of a shark bite on his tail fluke.
Marine scientists have long been interested in the group for their genetic distinctness from other orcas in the north Atlantic, bearing closer relation to their Antarctic cousins.
#MarineWildlife - Six weeks after the first sighting of basking sharks this year off West Cork comes news that a pair of killer whales have been seen near Baltimore.
The Southern Star reports on the rare sight for the area of these cetaceans with a fearsome reputation, but who have never been known to kill a human in the wild.
It's believed that the orca duo may be part of a bigger pod that was feeding off West Cork at the time.
And they seem to be happy finding their own food, unlike their counterparts in the Southern Ocean who have taken to nabbing fishermen's catches.
According to the Guardian, killer whales off the Crozet Islands between Africa and Antarctica have learned to grab Patagonian tooth fish off longlines since a fishery was established there some 20 years ago.
Now scientists say they've found a link between this near constant supply of food and the orcas' reproductive rates. In other words, more fish means more, and healthier, killer whale calves.
Shark Takes A Bite Out Of Scottish Killer Whale
#MarineWildlife - A conspicuous chunk missing from the tail fluke of a killer whale resident in Scottish waters is evidence of an altercation with a shark, as BBC News reports.
The orca, known as John Doe, is one of the familiar pod of killer whales that's commonly seen off the west of Scotland but has also been spotted in Donegal and off the east Scottish coast near Aberdeen.
Marine scientists have long been interested in the group because of its genetic distinctness from other killer whales in the north Atlantic – with studies showing they bear closer relation to orcas found in Antarctic waters.
And this latest discovery is troubling in light of the group's already precarious status, with no calves recorded among them since experts began to study them two decades ago.
The Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust (HWDT) said it could not "realistically speculate" on what species of shark may have been to blame for the bite.
But one it most certainly isn't is the plankton-hungry basking shark, a species that's seen a drastic fall in numbers locally over the past year, according to the Irish Examiner.
Sightings of the ocean's second largest fish – after the similarly harmless whale shark – have dwindled by a third on 2013 figures, which the HWDT says is part of a trend.
However, experts have moved to quell any concerns over the health of the marine species, as they may simply have moved to offshore waters – or below the surface – in search of greater supplies of their favourite foodstuff.
Basking sharks may be seen less often, but there's another shark species in the oceans that even the experts know very little about – and one of them was just landed in the Philippines.
The Washington Post has more on the 'mysterious' megamouth shark, a prehistoric looking beast that was only discovered by science in 1976 and has been sighted just 64 times since then.
Scientists still have no idea of the size of their population or in what oceans they're concentrated, and this find may reveal little more - but it might tell us something new about their plankton-based diet and their unique physiology.

Former NBA MVP Derrick Rose will sign a two-year, $15-million deal with the Detroit Pistons, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting.
Rose spent the last two seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Last season, he averaged 18 points per game on 48.2 per cent shooting in 51 games played primarily as a role player coming off the bench.
The 30 year-old was named league MVP in 2011 — just his third season in the NBA — with the Chicago Bulls.
He joins a Pistons team that finished 41-41 and reached the post-season for the first time since 2016.

text: When Oscar Brown died at the age of 78 in 2005, one journalist at least, from The New York Times, was unsure as to how to describe the artist to whom America had just bid a final farewell. To write in his obituary that he was a jazz singer seemed too platitudinous, because Brown didn?t just sing his songs, he performed them. But it would have been just as wrong to honour him as a jazz songwriter, despite his collaborations with Miles Davis and Max Roach, because he was more closely associated with gospel, folk and blues. His vocal qualities lie in a recitative-like, dry declamation, sharp as a knife, as is clearly heard in "Work Song". The pain brought on by life?s adversities can be cried out internally even if you appear to remain unaffected outwardly ("But I Was Cool"). A portion of sarcasm is necessary when the singsong of a slave trader constantly calls for higher bids ("Bid ?Em In"), and when a babbling child can pester its daddy with both banal and existential questions ("Dat Dere"). The generously manned band does not often play all together as in the springy "Signifyin? Monkey". Here we have just a few chords on the piano ("Watermelon Man"), there a gently plucked guitar ("Brown Baby"), or a quiet pulsating rhythm ("Afro Blue") ? very often not much more was needed for a sin and soul performance by Oscar Brown, who, by the way, and so typically American, regarded himself as an Entertainer.

Dorset residents have been warned about potential flooding and travel disruption as heavy rains are forecast to batter the county today.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain, meaning to expect travel disruption, for today from 5pm onwards.
The Met Office has said that flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely, bus and train services will probably be affected with journey times taking longer and motorists will have to watch out for spray and flooding on roads.
A flood alert has also been issued for lower sections of the River Frome, with the government's flood information service saying: "River levels remain high at the Stinsford river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall.
"Further rainfall that may be heavy at times is forecast during Wednesday afternoon and overnight into Thursday morning and we expect river levels to remain high.
"Areas most at risk are tributaries between Dorchester and Wareham. River levels can rise very quickly in response to heavy rainfall.
"We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are checking defences. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses."

Really was just a mirage, this team was nowhere near the top40 at any point in the season.
That MSU win that looked so good, well the spartans have been boat raced 3 times within the big10 by Wisky, OSU and PSU alone.
Cal lost their starting QB. Doubt ASU wins that one if if he plays the entire game.

I think China is the most famous Asian country in the US, particularly because there's a lot of Chinatowns in the country and China is quite often featured in the news more so than any other countries.

- MostafizurLv 44 months ago
After Korean war South Korea became very trusted ally of US that's the reason.
- AndrewLv 74 months ago
I wouldn't classify any country as being "famous" as that's an adjective that's normally reserved for people and specific places, such as landmarks or tourist attractions. I would refer to a country as being "well known", and it's obvious that some countries are more well known than others.
Americans are well aware of the more well known Asian countries such as China, India, Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and many others. Of course, different countries are known for different things. Countries like Iran, Iraq, Israel, North Korea and Syria are known because they're in the news fairly often. Countries like Indonesia, Thailand and the Maldives are well known because they get a lot of visitors. Vietnam and Cambodia are well known because of the political situation there and their involvement in international conflicts.
Americans drive Korean and Japanese cars, they purchase electronics from those countries and are aware that those countries are considered US allies, but China is the most populous, the most powerful, and therefore the most relevant Asian country for Americans.
Since the dissolution of the USSR and the dilution of Moscow's power and influence in the world, China has risen to fill the gap. China could be considered the chief economic rival of the USA, and although most Americans believe that the real threat in the world is militant Islam, it's obvious that the next major war will be a US - China showdown.
Both Korea and Japan are countries with modest populations by world standards, with an ageing population, and limited military strength. And while South Korea is becoming ever richer and more powerful, Japan is seeing a decline in its economic output and is considered to be less important as a regional player. Both Korea and Japan are essentially US lapdog states in terms of their international affairs being determined by Washington, but one day North and South Korea will be reunified and with the leap in population and economic potential, Korea will blow Japan right out of the water.

I fairly new to GIS, and I'm having an issue with dissolving a vector. To start, I'm running QGIS 2.14.15 on Windows 7 Pro. When I try to dissolve the polygons it creates a blank shapefile. All of the files are in the same projections. I poked around and found Fixing geometry validity errors in QGIS? which lead me to finding two errors (see below).
187,Unknown geometry type 0;
187,Geometry has 1 errors.
221,Unknown geometry type 0;
221,Geometry has 1 errors.
When I select the an entry and try to Pan to selection it says "Geometry is Null". Running LWGEOM - Make Valid gives "[Error 87] The parameter is incorrect See log for more details", but there aren't any details in the log. Grass 7 v.clean runs and doesn't seem to do anything (not sure if I'm using it correctly).
Edit: The files are set to EPSG:3310. I used union to join two polygon layers showing range distribution. My dissolve process argument is ---Dissolve all---. When using the check geometry validity function on the union layer, I selected Save Error Location as a point shapefile, the file is empty. In LWGEOM I used the default setting. Using Grass v.clean I used cleaning tools snap, bpol, prune and rmarea. I systematically varied the threshold between 0.1 and 1000. In the advanced parameters varied v.in.ogr snap tolerance from -1.0 to 5. and the min area from 0.001 to 1000. They all give the same empty file.
Since my OP I tried using SAGA 2.3.2 => Vector Polygon Tools=> Polygon dissolve (all polygons). It will dissolve the layer but omits 5 polygons where data intersects.
