At least 17 people were dead after a 19-year-old former student opened fire at a South Florida high school on Wednesday afternoon, officials said.
The suspect was identified as Nikolaus Cruz, a former student who had been expelled from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland for disciplinary reasons, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said. He said at least 14 other people were injured in addition to the 17 people killed.
The Washington Post adds:
He had been getting treatment at a mental health clinic and then stopped. He was expelled from school for discipline problems. Many of his acquaintances had cut ties in part because of his strange Instagram posts and reports that he liked shooting animals. His father died a few years ago. His mother, reportedly the only person with whom he was close, died around Thanksgiving.
Finally, Nikolas Cruz, 19, had a fascination with guns. …
"Weird" was the word students had used for Cruz since middle school. And he seemed to only be getting weirder, they said.
At first "it was nothing alarming," said Dakota Mutchler, who went to middle school with Cruz. There was something "a little off about him," said the 17-year-old, but that was it — for a while.
Then, as Cruz transitioned into high school, he "started progressively getting a little more weird," Mutchler told The Washington Post. Cruz, he said, was selling knives out of a lunchbox, posting on Instagram about guns and killing animals, and eventually "going after one of my friends, threatening her." …
Neighbors told the [Fort Lauderdale] Sun-Sentinel that police were called out repeatedly to deal with complaints about Cruz. Shelby Speno said he was seen shooting at chickens owned by a resident. Malcolm Roxburgh told the Sun-Sentinel that Cruz took a dislike to the pigs kept as pets by another family. "He sent over his dog … to try to attack them." …
Years earlier and in recent months, however, young people acquainted with Cruz, like Mutchler, had seen enough to disturb them.
Joshua Charo, 16, a former classmate during their freshman year, told the Miami Herald that all Cruz would "talk about is guns, knives and hunting." While Charo said Cruz joined the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps as a freshman, he continued to be "into some weird stuff," like shooting rats with a BB gun.
Drew Fairchild, also a classmate during Cruz's freshman year, agreed. "He used to have weird, random outbursts," he told the Herald, "cursing at teachers. He was a troubled kid."
He was suspended from Stoneman Douglas for fighting, Charo told the Herald, and because he was found with bullets in his backpack. …
An Instagram account that appeared to belong to the suspect showed several photos of guns. And one appeared to show a gun's holographic laser sight pointed at a neighborhood street. A second showed at least six rifles and handguns laid out on a bed with the caption "arsenal." Other pictures showed a box of large-caliber rounds with the caption "cost me $30." One of the most disturbing appeared to show a dead frog's bloodied corpse. Most of the photos were posted July 2017.
About this and every mass shooting, read this and this.
The other obscenity of this week happened in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune's John Kass:
Of the many things Chicago should sear into its memory from Tuesday, one was this:
That long procession of police cars, blue lights flashing, trailing the ambulance carrying the body of Chicago police Cmdr. Paul Bauer from Northwestern Memorial Hospital to the morgue.
Chicago is a city of pain.
Dozens and dozens of squad vehicles joined the procession, and dozens of police officers stood to the side and saluted as the procession passed, and more mounted police units lined up and saluted in the darkening late afternoon.
The police were there for the commander, one of their own.
City Hall will tell you that downtown Chicago is safe and that yes, things happen, but if you think of it in terms of statistics, it's safe.
But what happened downtown Tuesday, at the Thompson Center — just across the street from Chicago's City Hall — is just the kind of thing that shakes people's sense of safety.
Chicago police commanders aren't supposed to be shot to death, not there, not at the heart of city business and politics.
Gunfire isn't supposed to happen just a stone's throw from City Hall. But it happened, and passers-by were frightened and they screamed and heard shouting and a few saw the blood.
Bauer, 53, husband and father, a 31-year-veteran of the Chicago Police Department and commander of the Near North District, was shot while confronting a robbery suspect.
Now comes the politics, the finger-pointing, and the political angles taken to benefit one side or another, none of them benefiting the police. Included on this list will be the suspect's criminal record, whether he was treated leniently, how he got the gun. All of it will come out.
But right now I'm thinking of the cops, like one I talked to just as the news about Bauer was breaking. I'll call him Joe.
Retired now, he spent his life as the real police — meaning he wasn't a politician or some house cat or a climber connected to an alderman. He put his hands on people, making arrests in Chicago.
He has two sons on the police force and the boys are in action spots, not soft spots. They're not guarding City Hall.
"We're just sitting here all together, just watching the news, and I keep telling them to be careful, that you never know, that any day something like this can happen" Joe said. "I always wonder if it sinks in. You know they understand, but do they get it? Or do they think it won't happen to them?"
The rest of us who don't know the life, we look at police as men and women who make arrests, the people who put muscle behind the laws, or as human actors leveraged in political dramas about excessive police force.
But it wouldn't hurt us to think of them as somebody's son or daughter, because they are that, too.
"All I want is for my sons to come home after their shift," said Joe. "Do people ever think of that? They say they think of it, and they're thinking of it now, but do they really think it, say a month from now? I think of it."
Another thing Chicago might want to remember on this day of pain was the police radio chatter, reported in the papers, when the suspect was being chased downtown.
"Don't anybody get hurt," warned an officer chasing the suspect. "We just wanted to do a street stop on him and he took off on me."
Don't anybody get hurt.
That was downtown. That wasn't on the West Side or South Side.
So the suspect ran and Bauer, who had heard the call on his radio, recognized him and ran after him.
And not long after that, the commander was dead.
Choking back tears, police Superintendent Eddie Johnson walked to the microphones, cops behind him, and made a statement.
"Cmdr. Bauer was shot multiple times," Johnson said. "Unfortunately, Cmdr. Bauer passed away. The offender is in custody. The weapon is recovered. I just ask the citizens of this city to keep the Bauer family in their prayers. I've been meeting with his wife and daughter. It is a difficult day for us. But we'll get through it."
In order to live our lives, we choose to become numb to almost everything. We become numb to Chicago's river of violence that for years has been claiming so many lives in the gang wars. We're become numb to the bleating of politicians with no answers.
We've become numb to all of it.
That's what happens in a city of pain. You grow numb.
About Bauer and his killer, the Tribune's Annie Sweeney reports:
Just four months ago, Chicago police Cmdr. Paul Bauer didn't mince words when he spoke about his frustrations that career offenders weren't facing stiffer consequences in court.
"We're not talking about the guy that stole a loaf of bread from the store to feed his family," Bauer told the Loop North News. "We're talking about career robbers, burglars, drug dealers. These are all crimes against the community. They need to be off the street."
He took exception to Cook County's push to set more affordable bails for defendants as part of an effort to reduce the population in the jail.
"Maybe I'm jaded," he said. "But I don't think that is anything to be proud of."
On Tuesday, Bauer was fatally shot in the Loop by a four-time felon who had drawn the suspicion of tactical teams in the busy downtown area, police said. Officers tried to stop the man a few blocks from the Thompson Center, but he took off running, according to radio traffic of the incident.
Bauer encountered him at the Thompson Center, where a physical struggle resulted at a stairwell outside the government building, Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. Bauer was found by other officers. The suspect was taken into custody.
As a four-time felon Bauer's alleged shooter committed another crime by possessing a gun. And neither he nor Cruz should have been out on the streets.

English Grammar: Giving Instructions
We use the imperative form to give orders or directions in English.
"Eat your vegetables!"
"Turn left and go straight on."
(For more information, see our grammar page.)
We can also use the imperative form to give a warning or advice, and (if you use "please") to make a request.
"Practise English for ten minutes a day!"
"Be careful!"
"Please take a seat."
To make the imperative, use the infinitive of the verb without 'to':
"Come here!"
"Sit down!"
To make a negative imperative, put "do not" or "don't" before the verb. (Don't is more informal than "do not".)
"Don't go!"
"Do not walk on the grass."
Giving instructions
You often see the imperative form in instruction manuals or when someone tells you how to do something.
There are often "sequencing" words to show the steps in the process. For example, "firstly", "secondly" and "finally".
Simple instructions to replace a light bulb
Firstly, turn off the electricity.
Secondly, remove the light bulb.
Then, screw in the new light bulb.
Finally, turn the electricity on and switch on the light.
You can also say "after that" instead of "then" and "first" / "second" instead of "firstly" and "secondly".
Giving extra help
When you give instructions, you can help the other person with extra information and advice.
Remember: turn off the electricity before touching any cables.
Be careful not to ... (touch any live wires)
Try to ... (see if the lightbulb is broken or just loose)
Try not to ... (touch the lightbulb with your hands)
You need to ... (check the wattage of the lightbulb first)
It's important to ... (make sure the electricity is off)
It helps to ... (wait for the lightbulb to cool down before you remove it)
Be sure to ... (turn off the electricity before you you touch the lightbulb)
Always ... (wear gloves when you touch a lightbulb)
Never ... (touch a socket with wet hands)
Useful verbs for instructions
Turn on / switch on = activate power or electricity: "First, turn on the PC."
Turn off / switch off = deactivate power or electricity: "Turn off the lights when you leave."
Take off / remove = detach something from another thing: "Remove the plastic before you put the meal in the microwave."
Take out = take one thing out from another thing: "Take the television out of the box."
Attach / connect = put two things together: "Connect the wires."
Check / make sure = be sure about something: "Check that the light is on."
Proceed / continue: "Continue to stir until the mixture is thick."
Plug in = connect to the electricity: "Plug the modem in."

Profound and Stunning Buddhist Tattoo Designs
The Buddhist culture and conviction framework is one that is honed and loved the world over. Buddhist theory is lovely, and their thoughts regarding life rise above all through. For those honing Buddhists and for those that just respect the belief system, a Buddhist tattoo can realize inward peace.
Regardless of whether you're a rehearsing Buddhist or essentially have a solid confidence in Buddhist theory and craftsmanship, Buddhist tattoo plans offer an abundance of perplexing, striking and significant alternatives. The convictions at the core of Buddhist logic call for profound quality, care, mindfulness, insight and seeing, so it's reasonable that those keen on tattoos and body workmanship feel a family relationship with Buddha's lessons. Regardless of whether you're searching for a portrayal of Buddha, a Buddhist image or a Buddhist petition, these 20 innovative Buddhist tattoo outlines ought to move you.
Buddha's Face
An exemplary decision for a tattoo of Buddha, an outline of Buddha's face is delightful and simple to accomplish on for all intents and purposes any piece of the body. An expansive Buddha confront covering the whole back is really fantastic, yet a littler plan on the arm, leg, stomach or shoulder can be similarly as eye-getting.
A Golden Buddha
Brilliant Buddha statues are loved all through the world as an incredible image of Buddhist lessons, and a tattoo of a brilliant Buddha benefits as much as possible from the awesome hues. Brilliant Buddha tattoos can delineate either the entire body of a ruminating gold Buddha, or simply the face
A Meditating Buddha
A thinking Buddha tattoo is a prevalent plan, however it doesn't need to portray a brilliant Buddha. Truth be told, these outlines look astonishing in both basic dark and dim or eminent shading, and the expansion of blooms, trees and other nature images will make an extraordinary blend a bigger plan. In case you're searching for a tattoo to put forth a genuine expression, at that point why not have an immense, nitty gritty ruminating Buddha inked on your back?
The Laughing Buddha
When considering Buddha, the picture in many individuals' psyches is the fat, affable giggling Buddha. In view of old Chinese old stories, the chuckling Buddha is a conspicuous and cheerful choice for a tattoo plan, regardless of whether it's the entire assortment of Buddha or simply the face. With his enormous, wobbling tummy and huge midsection catch, the chuckling Buddha is additionally an awesome piece to have inked over somebody's stomach, with the individual's own gut catch sitting in the focal point of Buddha's paunch.
A Buddhist supplication
Buddhist supplications frequently comprise of specific mantras that are rehashed keeping in mind the end goal to accomplish edification, so picking an important bit of petition to have as a tattoo is a heavenly choice. A well known decision for a Buddhist supplication tattoo is the images for the mantra 'Om Mani Padme Hum', which is utilized amid reflection. A Buddhist supplication can be inked anyplace on the body, and many individuals have them on the internal lower arm, the chest or down the ribcage. A more surprising area that is ending up more well known is to have a Buddhist petition inked vertically down the back of the neck, and this is a perfect decision for ladies who need to flaunt a slim neck!
Mandala Wheel
A Mandala, or Mandala Wheel, speaks to the wheel of life in Buddhism. The Mandala is a complex outline that delineates the universe, illumination and knowledge, so makes a lovely, intriguing and nitty gritty plan for a Buddhist tattoo. Despite the fact that they look striking in dark and dim, the utilization of shading in a Mandala tattoo truly influences the distinctive bits of the outline to emerge.
Dharma Wheel
A Dharma Wheel is a picture of a wheel with a focal center point and spokes, and is a wonderful decision for a Buddhist tattoo outline. Less unpredictable than a Mandala, the Dharma may be a superior decision for somebody searching for a less nitty gritty tattoo that won't take as long to chip away at. Speaking to the Buddhist religion, it delivers a striking and suggestive tattoo plan.
Lotus Flowers
Lotus blooms are an essential image in Buddhism, symbolizing resurrection, quality and illumination. And also looking dazzling, a lotus blossom tattoo offers distinctive implications relying upon the shading, and influences an extraordinary expansion to a bigger tattoo to plan. They should be possible in shading or in dark and dim, and will suit any piece of the body. A group of lotus blooms look especially great as a full-or half-sleeve outline.
Bodhi tree
The Bodhi tree is an instrumental theme in the Buddhist religion, as it is the tree under which Buddha was sitting when he increased genuine illumination. An exemplary dark and dim Buddha pondering under the Bodhi tree makes a great huge tattoo, either on the back, chest, or thigh, and the tree alone would look consummate inked into the side of the ribcage.

text: The first practices are just around the corner so this seems like a good time to see some predictions for the top-25, the final four, and the 06 Champions. My team (University of Kentucky) is about to set an attendance record for a first practice. They gave out over 20,000 tickets to the season opener in under 30 minutes! All in all, Rupp Arena will be filled to capacity with over 23,000 people in attendance (for a practice!). It will be televised on ESPNU (the ocho wasn't available ). This could be the year, as people are already talking national championship. We've got a 7'3", 7'2", 7'1", and that's just the bench reserves for our starting center!!! Who do you guys like this year???


text: SYNOPSIS pnmgamma [-ungamma] [-cieramp|-srgbramp] [value [pnmfile]] pnmgamma [-ungamma] [-cieramp|-srgbramp] redgamma greengamma bluegamma [pnmfile] DESCRIPTION Performs gamma correction on pseudo-PNM images. The PPM format specification specify that certain sample values in a file represent certain light intensities in an image. In particular, they specify that the sample values are directly proportional to gamma- corrected intensity values. The gamma correction they specify is CIE Rec. 709. However, people sometimes work with approximations of PPM and PGM where the relationship between the image intensities and the sample values are something else. For example, the sample value might be directly proportional to the intensity with no gamma correction (often called "linear intensity"). Or a different gamma transfer function may be used. pnmgamma allows you to manipulate the transfer function, thus working with and/or creating pseudo-PPM files that are useful for various things. For example, if you feed a true PPM to pnmgamma -cieramp -ungamma, you get as output a file which is PPM in every respect except that the sam- ple values are directly proportional to the light intensities in the image. If you feed such a file to pnmgamma -cieramp, you get out a true PPM. The situation for PGM images is analogous. And pnmgamma treats PBM images as PGM images. When you feed a linear PPM image to a display program that expects a true PPM, the display appears darker than it should, so pnmgamma has the effect of lightening the image. When you feed a true PPM to a dis- play program that expects linear sample values, and therefore does a gamma correction of its own on them, the display appears lighter than it should, so pnmgamma with a gamma value less than one (the multi- plicative inverse of whatever gamma value the display program uses) has the effect of darkening the image. PARAMETERS The only parameters are the specification of the input image file and the gamma values. Every gamma transfer function pnmgamma uses contains an exponent, which is the gamma value, and you can choose that value. Furthermore, you can choose different values for each of the three RGB components. If you specify only one gamma value, pnmgamma uses that from gamma-corrected nonlinear intensities to linear intensi- ties). -cieramp Use the CIE Rec. 709 gamma transfer function. Note that it is true CIE Rec. 709 only if you use the default gamma value (i.e. don't specify any gamma parameters). This transfer function is a power function modified with a linear ramp near black. If you specify neither -cieramp nor -srgbramp, the transfer function defaults to a simple power function. -srgbramp Use the Internation Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) SRGB gamma transfer function (as specified in the standard IEC 61966-2-1). Note that it is true SRGB only if you use the default gamma value (i.e. don't specify any gamma parameters). This transfer function is like the one selected by -cieramp, but with differ- ent constants in it. Note that SRGB is often spelled "sRGB". In this document, we use standard English typography, though, which doesn't allow for that kind of capitalization. If you specify neither -cieramp nor -srgbramp, the transfer function defaults to a simple power function. WHAT IS GAMMA? A good explanation of gamma is in Charles Poynton's GammaFAQ at <http://www.inforamp.net/~poynton/ColorFAQ.html> and ColorFAQ at <http://www.inforamp.net/~poynton/GammaFAQ.html> In brief: The simplest way to code an image is by using sample values that are directly proportional to the intensity of the color compo- nents. But that wastes the sample space because the human eye can't discern differences between low-intensity colors as well as it can between high-intensity colors. So instead, we pass the light intensity values through a transfer function that makes it so that changing a sample value by 1 causes the same level of perceived color change any- where in the sample range. We store those resulting values in the image file. That transfer function is called the gamma transfer func- tion and the transformation is called gamma correcting. Virtually all image formats, either specified or de facto, use gamma- corrected values for their sample values. What's really nice about gamma is that by coincidence, the inverse function that you have to do to convert the gamma-corrected values back to real light intensities is done automatically by CRTs. You just apply a voltage to the CRT's electron gun that is proportional to the gamma-corrected sample value, and the intensity of light that comes out of the screen is close to the intensity value you had before you AUTHOR Copyright (C) 1991 by Bill Davidson and Jef Poskanzer. 11 June 2001 pnmgamma(1)

"Here's the thing—I love performing, but what people don't realize is that I really love writing songs."
Tommy London sets down his glass of wine, pauses for a moment, and continues, "That's one of people's largest misconceptions about me, that I'm 'Tommy Rockstar' who loves to perform. I really just love sitting down and writing music."
Admittedly, it is a bit strange to contextualize London outside of his stage presence as the lead singer of The Dirty Pearls. His performances are fueled by a red blooded energy, resulting in a larger than life presence reminiscent of arena rock gods and a wardrobe full of rock n' roll staples that could give Scott Weiland's a serious run for its money.
Drinking wine in an oversized leather booth at the East Village Italian restaurant/rocker hangout, Three of Cups, Tommy London looks every bit the part of "rocker off duty." Although, instead of his stage uniform of leather jackets and reflective aviators, he's wearing a well-worn t-shirt from Handsome Dick Manitoba's eponymous bar on Avenue B, classic denim and a baseball cap.
There's a lazy breeze wafting through an open window overlooking first avenue, while pop standards from the late '50s and early '60s play over the speakers, drowning out the sounds of the city. There's something so relaxed about the restaurant's atmosphere that it feels for a moment as if it's almost a world apart from its location. However, this evening is anything but relaxing for Tommy London.
It's the night before the Pearls' first NYC gig after a nearly eight month long performing hiatus. Normally a principal billing at local shows, the band has been unusually quiet this year. Over the past few months the band not only welcomed their new guitar player, Matt Hogan, but also experienced an onset of creative inspiration— "We've spent the whole year writing new material," London explains, "Matt's super talented and has been turning out song, after song."
Songwriting aside, London has kept busy during his "off year." Between opening for Lady Gaga in front of a crowd of five-thousand at the SXSW festival in Austin, and making multiple appearances in The New York Post's world famous Page Six column, London has received international press than many local musicians can only dream about.
Although these accolades may prove accomplishment enough to many, London sees them as merely a small part of a bigger journey. Underneath his cool constitution and bad boy stoicism, resides a tireless work ethic and an insatiable desire for success. "Tommy's driven," explains the band's drummer Marty E, "he has cool ideas that set the bar high, and he finds a way to make them come into fruition."
It's a bit peculiar to equate the leader of a no holds barred, gritty rock band to a poster child for self-discipline, but it's no coincidence that world renowned radio personality Rich Russo declared The Dirty Pearls "the hardest working band on the rock scene." The force propelling Tommy's relentless drive? His upbringing.
"My father raised me where you don't call out sick…you work." London further continues, "In all the jobs I've had, quite honestly, I've probably called out of work 3 times. My work ethic has always been you DO—you go, go, go." It was also his father who instilled within him his love of rock n' roll. "When I was sick and stayed home from school, I would sneak into my dad's closet full of records and play them when no one was home," London laughs. It was then that he discovered artists that would later influence his musical style, such as Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Dion DiMucci. London muses, "I almost felt like [the records] were sacred. Like I was doing something guilty by playing them. I knew [my parents] wouldn't care—my dad would even be proud."
Consequently, when London made the decision to drop out of college and actively pursue his music career, it was Tommy's father who was most confident in his decision. London explains, "I knew what I wanted out of life, school couldn't teach me." Instead of playing it the safe way with the security of a degree, he packed his bags and moved back to where he was born—New York City.
Now, London's focus is not only on his personal career, but also giving back to the city's rock scene. Throughout the past year he has hosted and organized events such as "The $5 Rock Show" at Arlene's Grocery, and most recently his "Barnstorming the Bowery" event featuring seven local bands, each playing 20 minute sets. These events are a "place to check out new music and meet other music enthusiasts." As London puts it, "People are coming early and staying late, instead of just arriving when their friends play and leaving right after."
For London, the overarching mission is to "build the rock community into an actual rock scene again." It's no easy feat being a rocker in a time when hip hop and electronica rule the airwaves. "For the first time in history, rock is the underdog." He elaborates: "In these days, 'rock n' roll' is more of a term describing an attitude or style rather than a genre of music."
However, London isn't worried about the future of rock n' roll. "They always say everything that's old becomes new again." London speculates, "Rock will have its return. It only takes one song to change it all." As for the future of the Pearls, the answer is simple: their music will not be affected by passing fads. In London's own words, "I just write what's deep inside my heart and soul. You have to be true to yourself and who you are in order to shine."
That truth is 100% unwavering, unapologetic rock n' roll at its very best.

January 19, 2017
Heyday Wake Boats signed a category exclusive agreement with the Pro Watercross Tour to sponsor its series of events as title sponsor in 2017.
Heyday said the Pro Watercross Tour and World Championship recently expanded its spectrum to include HydroFlight and HydroDrag competitions, with tentative plans to include wake sports competitions, as well.
"This tour sponsorship gives us great visibility as we accelerate the awareness of the Heyday brand," Heyday Inboards president Keith Yunger said in a statement.
"The watercraft audience is also a strong demographic and user crossover for us. These are multi-activity enthusiasts and align nicely with our target audience. And, with the expanded spectrum of events they've initiated, this is something we can be a significant piece of going forward."
Heyday said its wake sports boats will be on display, will be featured in demonstrations and have strong televised visibility on the tour's regional cable programming for its regional events and nationally on the CBS Sports Network for its national and world championship events.
"We're excited to have Heyday on board. We always strive to create family-friendly events, and having a family-focused brand like Heyday fits very nicely," Pro Watercross tour president AJ Handler said. "We look forward to evolving our events and exploring the wake sports possibilities with Heyday."
The Pro Watercross Tour consists of eight tour events nationwide, held mainly from May to November including its World Championship held in Naples, FL.

I am always late with series, which I do not like at all because I want to be able to discuss everything and theorize with others, whilst getting hyped up. For me, two things can happen: I either start a series late or I finish late (let's be real, I'm not great with reading them on time so I have not added that option). Notice that I have said "start" too, because I start a lot of series (I might even start them when they come out) but then I don't continue and I have a lot of them unfinished. I am working to fix that with my Series To Finish challenge, but I need something to solve that other problem, so I decided to create another challenge, like I did last year with Series To Finish. This time, it's Series To Catch Up With (for lack of a better name).
As the name clearly says, the main goal of Series To Catch Up With is to work my way through series that have not been completed yet (they are still being released) and I want to catch up with them and be up to date.
However, what does that entail? Can I read any series?
📚 It does not matter how many books I have unread (minimum one, of course) or if there is already a clear date for the sequel; if it has been announced, I can add the previous one(s) to the challenge.
📚 Once the last book of a series is out, I cannot count that towards my goal, for the series will be finished, so that would go to my Series To Finish challenge.
📚 However, I am giving myself a margin of a month so if I read a book and the final installment has been released but it's been less than a month, I will accept it.
📚 If I catch up with a series but then another book is released, I will only count that series once; I will decide if I want to count that latest book towards my goal or not (depending on what I have stated in my TBR).
Are you also planning on being more up to date with some series? Which ones would you include? Can you guess which ones are in my TBR?

How can I stop unhealthy emotions?
To really discuss how we can stop unhealthy emotions, we must know the purpose of emotions.
What is the purpose of emotions?
Emotions are good because they share information about how you feel. Some are healthy emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, anxiety or fear when they are expressed to a certain degree. All these emotions point to something that can be unraveled about you. Before we move on to unhealthy emotions, let me explain healthy emotions to make a good comparison.
- -Happiness can show a feeling of satisfaction that you have obtained something you needed. If it is everlasting happiness, then you see personal growth.
- -Sadness is an emotion that reminds you that you are not in the state that you want to be in life or you lost something or someone.
- -Normal anxiety or fear is a threat system that has been built into us. Anxiety is when you feel uneasy due to an unknown source of threat. Fear is for a known source of threat. Instead of it being a damaging thought, anxiety and/or fear can alarm everyone from the threat.
- -Anger shows someone or something has really afflicted or caused pain. Hence, those who cause pain can get a hint to back off. In normal amounts, these emotions are great, but when emotions are in abnormal amounts, they can cause an abnormal translation between the source of emotions and the intensity of the emotion. A little unintentional nudge can cause people to punch someone in the face. That's when you know you it is unhealthy and you need to move into another area code.
Getting conscious about our emotions
What is your unhealthy emotions?
Unhealthy emotions
Let me restate this that emotions are unhealthy when there is an exaggeration of the emotions. Why are they unhealthy? Even though they do clue you into the state of mind you are in and people need to know, this exaggeration can make the other party you are expressing yourself to turn inwards with their emotions. They will not see you as an approachable individual because they know anything that they will tell you will really piss you off.
An extreme sadness will exhibit your fragility. People seek individuals who have answers or are strong in managing complicated situations. If you are weak (not strong), then you are again not approachable.
Consequently, these emotions can break relationships or not allow you to progress in life. Yes! Progress can be halted! If you are so sad or angry, then you will mentally be locked into the stubborn mode. You will spend more time conjuring thoughts or have questions about why are bad things happening to them rather than concentrating on actions that make things better.
Intervention is direly needed.
That is when you know that you must intervene to help yourself. You want to use techniques that neutralize those explosive or long-lingering feelings. I will explain a couple of techniques. But before that, lets look at the symptoms that will give away that you are being emotional.
A .Symptoms of anger: We all have emotional tells. This is what I have noticed in family, friends and strangers. Please learn to identify these or make a list of symptoms that arise when you get angry next time around
- I have realized rubbing my beard or chin is one of the symptoms.
- Vital signs: Breathing is shallow like you are being rushed. You have a high heart rate.
- You are agitated or uneasy. That moment is so intense. And you want time to pass by quickly.
- Muscles are tightened. That can be clearly seen from facial muscles.
B. Symptoms of sadness:
- Facial expression: the long face and frown on face
- physical symptoms: fatigue, headaches, upset stomach, disturbances in sleep, changes in your appetite such as overeating or not feeling hungry at all, and occasional nausea.
- no interest in doing anything, loss of motivation and hope.
C.Symptoms of anxiety:
- head pains and numbness
- short term memory problems, different fears
- dramatic mood swings
- hyperactivity of body (shakes,tremors, and excess of energy)
Understanding the symptoms
Which symptoms do you carry?
List of useful techniques
Technique 1 – This whole technique neutralizes emotions.
The Down Phase- This phase breaks down the negative emotions each time. This includes step 1 and 2.
- 1st step- You want to acknowledge that you are in an emotional state of mind.
- 2nd step- Say it in your mind that people are just coming up to you or doing whatever. Why are their actions getting you emotional? When you question yourself in this manner, someone's actions do not seem like a huge concern.
The Up phase- This phase emphasizes putting positive emotions or energy into your mental channels.
- 3rd step- Get excited to know what the person wants from you . So find out what it is? This curiosity increases your enthusiasm and moves you forward towards whatever you want to accomplish with the positive state of mind.
- 4th step- In a joking manner, ask what it is?
Technique 2 for Anger – What or who is pissing you off?
Things aggravate you ?
If things piss you off, then find out how it is worked. Until you do not build on the skillset of understanding how things work, you will be frustrated to deal with things. What happens is when time is limited, you want to only focus on completing tasks not understanding the task step-by-step. Why don't you build the habit of understanding? When you do it little by little, you will know the task completing at some point. When you have fully understood the mechanism, you will use it over and over again. At some point, it becomes automatic. When life becomes automatic, you become less frustrated. As a result, you are not angry.
- One example of something that annoys me is when I have to make a payment online and I have no account setup. You want expose yourself to the fact that you have to take the initial step to make the account.
Is he or she pissing you off?
If people piss you off, then find out what people want. You want to know the underlying reason why they are doing what they are doing. A feedback from the individual will allow you to know how to manage the individual.
- Me: why are you doing this?
- coworker: I like bothering you.
From this interaction, you understand the psychology. You comprehend that in order to not be mad you have to joke around too with him or her.
Are you dealing with an angry individual?
If people are pissed off, then you pin down how he or she looks upset. And ask what happened. What happens is that people get angry, but they do not admit it, so you want to be one step ahead. You want to enable them to express that they are upset.
- Sam: Hey John you look angry. What happened?
- John: I had a fight with my friend.
Of course, this is not a 100% formula. You will find those people who will not say they are angry, but this will increase your chances of a positive response.
Techniques 3 for anxiety- Indifference or resistance in action.
You get anxious that people are caving in on you.
You need to resist or push back in action or do what you are naturally supposed to do.
You ask why are you anxious. It's just that that's the situation.
Anxious or scared---> Be strong plus courageous---> Do what you were naturally supposed to do
There is a complicated situation: you want to go jog. And one of your friends tells you: Can you do me a favor because they need it. You resist a little bit because you need your space,but you also lock it into your mind since you need to help them out.
Eg. Somebody tells you to move when you are in a tough spot on the street. This spot involves you being in a narrow street and parallel parking. You should just parallel park despite people honking for you from behind. Resist to listening to them honk. You want to go back to your most natural action.
Thought process:
Person puts an important obligation---> push them off by doing what's natural--> Get excited about helping them out.
Anxiety builds a fear of doubtfulness or of the unknown---> Why fear when you do not know what is it?----> Picture things being great.
Technique 4 for sadness-
This is a difficult one, but it gets less difficult each time you recreate that fire inside yourself. You want to talk to someone who you can confide into and light that fire underneath you, so that you start moving and grooving. The answer is in the symptoms: lack of motivation and hope. Hopelessness is when you have thrown in the towel and glove. Do not throw in the glove! You need to employ a great perspective or attitude.
Do not lose hope--> Stop being hopeless and sorry for yourself--> Be positive--> Repeat;" Be positive" over and over again.
A video to go along with the techniques
How is it working out?
Did the technique work?
This is a lot of information. Our emotions come from many types of situations, including our interactions with others. The ability to communicate how we feel helps us identify what is happening and how we can respond to it in a better way.
Hey Sam. Emotions can be controlled and mastered in fact. It helps one to have a much simpler and happier life. Thanks for the informative tips.

Legio Titanicus
Legio Titanicus armies have a strategy rating of 3. Legio Titanicus formations have an initiative of 1+.
Special Rules
| Secondary Targeting Protocols (experimental)
|This unit may choose to fire any non-Macro weapon systems at a second target. Neither target takes a first blast marker for being targeted if this special rule is used.
|Void Shields
|Imperial Titans are protected by void shield generators with the number of void shields each Titan has noted on the Titan's datasheet. Each void shield will automatically stop one point of damage and then go down. Do not make armour saves for damage stopped by void shields, nor allocate Blast markers. Once all of the shields have been knocked down, the Titan may be damaged normally and you may make saving throws against any hits that are scored. Hits from close combat ignore void shields but units using their firefight values must first knock down any shields before they can damage the Titan. Void shields that have been knocked down can be repaired. Each Titan can repair one downed void shield in the end phase of each turn. In addition, if a Titan regroups it can use the dice roll to either repair the void shield or remove Blast markers (e.g., if you rolled a 2 you could repair 2 shields, remove 2 Blast markers or repair 1 shield and remove 1 Blast marker).
|Legio Titanicus armies may ally with a wide range of forces. Some allies are easily incorporated into the force whilst others are more difficult to work with and have a disruptive effect on the overall strategy. Any formations from a "Disruptive" ally reduces the army's strategy rating by 1 and Supreme Commander rerolls may not be used on "Disruptive" ally formations. Allied force selections must comply with any limitations within their own army lists.

Mechelen, Netherlands
The late 17th century Stedenboek (book of cities) by Dutch cartographer Frederik de Wit is one of the rarest map books in the world. Only four copies are know to exist and the finest version has been digitised and uploaded by the National Library of The Netherlands. [Flash and html formats are available]
De Wit was among the last of the renowned cartographers in what is referred to as theGolden Age of Dutch cartography. Common to all his work was superb engraving and exceptional colouring qualities that resulted in maps of unique beauty and historical interest.
Imagine trying to draw those curving streets without the benefit of an aerial view.

"Busted Belt Bummer"
There's a strange process nobody really understands that turns a bad experience into something pleasant (for want of a better word) when it's transformed into art. People flock to the movies to witness murder, mayhem, heartbreak, war, and any number of other calamities they would never actually want to experience themselves. Maybe that phenomenon is behind the unvarying popularity of Dave's centerspreads known as the Pain In The Butt Series. In the present example, the hapless biker sees his worst fears realized - a defunct primary belt and his friends, unaware of his problem, about to enter the freeway mixmaster. Already he's got to be wondering how long it will take them to realize he's not around, and how much time will be required for them to backtrack through the concrete maze and locate him - if they ever do. I know the feeling. If life was a poker game, by now I'd have shot the dealer. After all, how many crappy hands can you write off to coincidence?
David Mann biker art centerfold poster removed from a vintage Easyriders motorcycle magazine, matted as shown, ready to insert into a 16" x 20" frame.
Great vintage motorcycle artwork print to decorate your office, garage, basement, rec room, man cave & more! Makes a great gift!

Hi Jason
I have replicated the search you have completed above and this works thanks, but when I try to carry out a search on each of the other pages within the Intro page (for example), the search results provide the Meta description title to that page which is great, but the link sends me back to the Intro page.
For example, carry out a search within the Introduction page, and search for Contact, the result displays a heading of Contact, but the link which should take you to the Contact page, takes me to the Intro page.
How can I place the correct links within the results page?

Telecenter in Rural Ghana

The following message from Peace Corps Volunteer Tod Bruning was posted to
the AFRICOMM list and Tod has allowed me to post it to AFRIK-IT. He and
his Ghanaian colleagues would greatly appreciate the wise counsel of
AFRIK-It subscribers.
Kelly J. Morris
[log in to unmask]
My name is Tod Bruning and I am a Peace Corps Volunteer (Small Enterprise
Development) in northern Ghana, West Africa. I am assigned to the Upper West
Commerce Association, a regional chamber of commerce located in the capital of
the Upper West Region, Wa, a town of about 40,000 (around 70,000 in the
For the past three years I have been managing a local community access
computer center, the UWCA's Business Communications Centre. The UWCA's
objectives as stated in its charter are attached to the end of this message.
The "telecenter" I am working for provides computer literacy training,
commercial computer access, electronic mail, and secretarial services. I am
basically trying to ask and answer the question, "What all is possible with
three computers and a modem."
Last year we got a grant from USAID's AfricaLink program
to provide subsidised internet access for two years. This grant paid for
upgrades on the computers so they can handle digital imaging as well as
long-distance time for dial-up access, and finally the access itself. The
purpose being to use the Internet for commercial export activity and tourism
promotion. Our web site, www.peoplink.org/uwca, focuses on 4 primary areas:
locally woven cloth and smocks, agricultural commodities produced in this
region such as cashew nut and shea butter, and tourism. This is still a work
in progress and I would welcome anyone's comments and suggestions.
There have been many challenges in the past three years in our quest for
sustainability - i.e. running the center without further assistance in the
form of aid money or a volunteer. The primary issues being: 1) acquiring and
keeping qualified personnel to run the center 2) generating enough local
demand for the services we provide to pay expenses and depreciation on the
equipment and, 3) infrastructure (power and telephone) glitches.
The personnel issue has been by far the most difficult to surmount. As it
happens, the first student to complete this training in 1996, Ms. Sauda
Mohammad, went to work for a local mining company for the two years doing
database entry and secretarial work. Three months ago she quit came to work
for us. Now she does all applications training (Word, Excel) and I teach basic
computer operation, how to use the Windows operating system, and file
management techniques. For the first time ever, I can travel and the Business
Communications Center still produces revenues.
There is a large demand for computer literacy training primarily because of
the high demand for these skills in Ghana's urban centers of Accra and Kumasi.
As a result, people with these skills must either be imported to the Wa, or a
resident must go to Accra or Kumasi for training, and expensive undertaking.
The BCC currently has a three month waiting list for its classes. We have
graduated 16 students and all have gone on to well-paying (relatively
speaking) jobs immediately. We even have employers occasionally calling asking
when the next round of students will graduate.
Training is an average of 3 months meeting one hour a day for five days a
week. Students must fulfill two of three criteria in order to be considered
for admission:
1) Understand my English - no mean feat as I was raised in south Texas.
2) Know how to type.
3) Have access to a computer.
Students are mostly women, graduates from a local secretarial school. Also
private sector professionals and government workers who are looking to
increase their skills. Since most of these students will immediately be
declared the computer "expert" upon their announcement they have completed
training, we have tried to structure the course not so much as "by rote"
instruction, and instead emphasizes more of a way of thinking about computers.
By the time we complete the Excel stage of training, the students are more or
less training themselves. This method has worked out quite well.
The BCC's revenues come primarily from computer literacy training. There is
also substantial income from electronic mail access and secretarial services.
Although the majority of email subscribers are other volunteers in the area,
the number of Ghanaians using this service is steadily increasing. I have
constructed a database using Microsoft Access which details all the BCC's
transactions by account for the last two years. The zipped file is about 100k.
If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to forward that along with a background
summary of what we've done here.
Finally, in infrastructure considerations, the telephone system in Wa, while
digital and only two years old, is overloaded resulting in frequent outages.
Despite this, it is normally possible to dial to Accra for email at least
twice a day during business hours. Finally, Ghana has been under a severe
power shortage resulting in rationing since the beginning of 1998. In the last
two months rationing as eased considerably, with much less down time, but with
the advent of another hot season, rationing is likely to be in effect again.
Part of the grant from AfricaLink provided us with top of the UPS's with about
an hour and a half run-time for each of the three computers.
I am looking forward to exchanging ideas in this forum and welcome all
inquiries. Thank you for your time.

Key Democrats including Senator Dick Durbin, Governor Pat Quinn, and Attorney General Lisa Madigan want Senator Burris to quit. But some Chicago aldermen, including powerful Democratic committeemen and party leaders, are threatening anti-Burris Democrats with election day reprisals.
"If you're going to call on our support, we're asking that you stop tearing down Roland Burris' character, his integrity," said Ald. Anthony Beale, 9th Ward Democratic committeeman.
Beale and other pro-Burris aldermen say the senator was legally appointed, served Illinoisans for 16 years in statewide office, and there's no valid reason for him to resign. He and city council colleagues warn of a possible backlash against their own party.
"I would just suggest that those people who seek to run in the City of Chicago, where there are people of color living, that they should tone it down because some of us are taking notes," said Ald. Fredrenna Lyle, 6th Ward Democratic committeeman.
Senator Burris hasn't decided whether to run next year for a full six-year term. But he insists he will serve the almost two years remaining in the Senate term vacated by President Obama despite a nationwide controversy over his appointment by former Governor Rod Blagojevich who faces federal corruption charges.
The turmoil grew when Burris recently revised his testimony and admitted that he tried to raise money for Blagojevich.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Madigan says under the U.S. constitution, the General Assembly can order a special election to replace Burris.
"The 17th Amendment clearly has a preference for the people to elect their U.S. senators. That's really the foundation of our democracy," said Madigan.
Republicans agree with Madigan that an election can and should be held even though the Senate seat is filled.
But Northwestern law professor emeritus Dawn Clark Netsch, a former Democratic nominee for governor, has doubts.
"You could argue that there is no vacancy, because Mr. Burris is now in the Senate. He's been sworn in," said Prof. Dawn Clark Netsch.
Another concern for a special election is cost.
As Illinois and many local governments face severe budget deficits it's not clear where millions of dollars would come from for a senate primary, and then the election.

Latest update April 22nd, 2019 12:58 AM
– increased revenue collection
– effective garbage collection
– fostering of partnerships
With Local Government Elections (LGE) less than four months away, the municipality of Linden believes that many benefits were derived with the reintroduction of local democracy after two decades.
This was posited by Linden Mayor, Waneka Arindell, who believes that the town is now better positioned than it was, prior to 2016, when an Interim Management Committee ran the affairs of the Council. Arindell served as Deputy-Mayor during this period and was only appointed Mayor six months ago.
"The main achievement of LGE was that power was returned to the people, thus allowing persons to make decisions in leadership. The councillors are now in a better position to serve, with renewed zest and vitality. Increased knowledge of 28:01 (the constitution governing municipalities), increased interaction with ministers and other knowledgeable persons, and training have allowed the Council to appreciate and delegate responsibilities accordingly," Arrindell said.
"It has also allowed for increased public consultations," she added.
Strides made by the Council
Since 2016, one of the major gains achieved by the council is increased revenue collection. Though the council inherited millions of dollars in debt from the former council, re-payment systems were put in place to alleviate this financial burden. The council was able to bargain for an increase in government subvention, only mere months after entering office.
The reintroduction of the Kara- Kara toll booth played a major role in assisting the Council with the collection of increased revenue. This, in turn, allowed for a raise in the salaries of the staff members of the council, who for many years were taking home mere paltry sums, prior to 2016.
Arindell noted this institutional strengthening has also allowed for an increase in the workforce with the hiring of key personnel such as a Deputy Town Clerk and a Public Relations Officer. Staff members also benefitted from training. The council was also able to foster more national and international partnerships. This was seen in the twinning with cities in America and China.
"There have been greater conversations that would have been opened allowing for projects from international organisations," Arindell related.
Garbage woes
The council has also addressed one of the biggest challenges – the provision of effective garbage collection services to the town. The council now has two new compactor trucks and the old ones were repaired. With more garbage collection equipment present, Lindeners' no longer have the burdensome issue of paying private entities to collect their garbage or of resorting to dumping. Several illegal dump sites were also cleared and the access road to the Kara Kara dump site was rehabilitated thus allowing for a more environmentally free garbage disposal.
A better working relationship
Mayor Arindell related that the council is now a united front working together for the development of each constituency which holistically will be for a better Linden. With LGE only three months away, Arindell believes that the council is more than ready for a second term of service.

Also call the Flu, it is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza viruses. It is important that students get a flu vaccination each year to lessen the risk of getting a very bad case of influenza.
Symptoms of influenza
Flu spreads usually from person to person through coughing or sneezing. People may also become infected by touching people with the virus. Most healthy adults can start the spread of the virus one or more days before they even know that they are sick.
The best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get a flu shot each year.
