The New Jarry Potter application takes you to Hogwarts, then proceeds to mire you in the minor microtransactions. It's enough to kill magic – mostly, anyway. My love for Leharry Pottersérie has been strong for almost two decades now. When I realized today was the day of the liberation of Garry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, I was excited until I remembered that the next game Niantic is called Garry Potter: sorcerers unite.
Harry Potter: Wizards unite hack version
However, I am a Potterhead, hack and I can't usually resist anything with J. K. The mark of Rowling, so I decided to download the game and see how it fits in the world of Harry Potter. At first, version some parts of the game are not so bad: Hogwarts layout is usually in line with what we saw in the movies. To be able to fly and cast spells is satisfying. Some familiar characters appear in a younger form: Bill Weasley and Tonks, for example. The game makes a big deal out of the fact that the actors of the cinema take over their roles, although you hear them speaking so rarely that it looks more like an Easter egg than anything else. apps,Harry Potter: Wizards unite hack tool, account login,Harry Potter: Wizards unite forum, beginner guide,Harry Potter: Wizards unite how to play game, win and hack for free,Harry Potter: Wizards unite 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, jailbreak, Harry Potter: Wizards unite without surveys.
Yet for something with pretensions to fit into the established tradition, the game is sure as the DOE's feet in an awkward character background for your character. I was told that my brother was expelled from Hogwarts for an unspecified crime and disappeared. At first, I was baffled because I thought the game referred to my real-life brother, but then I realized that it was actually a fixed event in the game.
Harry Potter: Wizards unite mod apk download for pc, ios, and android
Don't go too far inside baseball, but this story – in which your brother committed an unspecified offense, mod was expelled, apk and has not been seen since – does not fit the timeline. By the time this game takes place, download for pc Harry Potter is about four years old, and the Sorcerer's world is only three years after a horrible war in which several people willingly worked with a manic magic dictator. This means that at least some of the classmates in my character would have been the Children of the eaters, ios and yet the game would have me believe that everyone distrusts me and harasses me (up to and including the teachers) because my older brother has left school. It's like a bad up fanfiction.
I should have realized that the game would find a way to introduce microtransactions into the game. In this case, the game gives you an energy meter, android allowing you to perform several actions at once. Energy will slowly cool down over time, although you can also purchase energy boosters that will allow you to continue performing actions such as your spell work in class. website,Harry Potter: Wizards unite glitch, update, iPhone, android, ios and pc download, Harry Potter: Wizards unite tutorial and courses, apk mods

Why didn't you say, "sorry, you don't have enough energy for that "before the class or event you're trying to do. That would have saved me some frustration. As is the case now, free generator I try to follow a driving lesson and stop playing for three to five minutes in a row because apparently my character has the metabolism of a Thoroughbred horse and may be lacking in the middle of the class.
Of course, I didn't go beyond my first year, without human verification but if this is the kind of gameplay I can expect, I doubt I'll go very far to Hogwarts. Almost a year ago to the day, Niantic announced the preparation of Harry Potter Wizards Unite, a mobile game based entirely on augmented reality. Obviously, we know the successful history of the developers since they are the origin of a certain Pokémon GO, a real commercial phenomenon released in 2016. Since then, the news has been scarce but the famous official website Pottermore has just rekindled the flame with the arrival of a new logo, accompanied by some details. unlimited free coins and gems, Harry Potter: wizards unite generator with no survey

Greetings, APA Members
As I reflect on 2017, I honestly can say that 2017 was not one of my best years, but it also was not my worst. Looking back on 2017 I recognize that I was just doing enough to keep afloat and I let many essential areas slip by the wayside, both personal and professional so that I could have the energy to stay above water. I was in survival mode. Survival mode is a dangerous place to be, and I knew going forward I needed to get out. I knew I had to make some changes. The first thing I needed to do was admit I was in survival mode and then I needed to reevaluate and make some choices that I knew would not be easy.
What I learned about survival mode is that not only do individual people experience survival mode but so do organizations. Which caused me to ask, is the Administrative Personnel Association in survival mode? Could we admit if we were in survival mode? Does APA have a vision? "Where there is vision there is growth." Are we growing or are we just surviving? The Executive Board met in November, and some of our discussion was about the future of APA and where do we see APA in the next 40 years? The Executive Board is concerned and recognizes that many changes are impacting APA. The PCUSA church itself is in transition, churches and other entities of the church are downsizing and/or reorganizing their staff structure, the elimination of continuing education money, and then the generational change in the workforce. Our organization is aging and members that have been with us for a long time are retiring, or they have been serving for a very long time and are ready to step aside. How as an organization are we addressing these issues? Do we believe we need to even worry about these changes that are taking place? At our national conference in May the special task force, which was assigned to envision what our organization could look like, will present some choices. When choices present themselves, then decisions can be made.
This year I challenge our members to make some choices in 2018:
- Get involved with APA either by serving in a leadership role, acting on a committee, or helping with the promotion of APA.
- Invite a new person to join APA or encourage a former member to join again.
- Attend the 2018 National Conference.
- Recognize and thank your leadership for their service either at the regional and/or the national level.
- Hold the special task force in prayer as they vision the future of the Administrative Personnel Association.
In conclusion, I leave you with the following quote that I borrowed from the book "Lord Bless this Mess" by Ellie Claire.
"Choices can change our lives profoundly. The choice to mend a broken relationship, to say yes to a difficult assignment, to lay aside some important work to play with a child, to visit some forgotten person-these small choices may affect our lives eternally." – Gloria Gaither

Cornbread & Butter Beans & You Across the Table...
...eatin' beans and makin' love as long as we are able." - Carolina Chocolate Drops, video below. The above tune is a catchy one. On autoplay in my mom's head last week, she wanted to build a meal around it. Is it obvious now where I get my propensity to create odd theme dinners?
We added a line from another CCD song, Knockin', to round out dinner: "Chicken in the fridge, half a bottle of wine, sit and eat your fill, then give me some of mine."
Alex fried chicken, Dad made the cornbread, we all drank a half a bottle of wine, and I cooked butter beans.
The all-knowing-Internet tells me that butter beans are lima beans, though a true southerner might correct me. I could only find dried limas at the market so that's what I used.
Beans stewed low and slow with onion, herbs, and pork fat is no new thing to my family. What amazed us was that cornbread and butter beans is more than a fine lyric - it's a well-matched set of sides. The savory melds with sweet and the buttery bean texture offsets the crunchy cornbread.
Cornbread and butter beans is a combination that will most definitely be repeated often, like a great song stuck in your head.
Butter Beans Makes: 12 large side-dish servings Time: 24 hours, active cooking 60 minutes
3 cups dried butter (lima) beans 1 tablespoon bacon fat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 large sweet onion, diced 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced 1 large handful fresh oregano, washed and minced or 1 tablespoon dried oregano 4 stalks fresh thyme, leaves washed and minced or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 2 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon soy sauce 3 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon dried mustard powder 20 grinds of fresh black pepper 2-3 bay leaves 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1. Wash beans. Cover with 4 inches of water and soak overnight. 2. Twelve hours later, heat a skillet. Add bacon fat, butter, and onions. Cook until onions are translucent. 3. Add onions to beans. Stir in all ingredients other than lemon juice and cover with additional water as necessary. 4. Heat in a crock pot on low for 10 hours or until beans are tender and liquid is absorbed. If you are close to serving time and the beans are too liquidy, simmer on stove top to boil off some water. 5. Adjust salt and add lemon juice. Remove bay leaves. 6. Puree beans for 30 seconds with immersion blender for buttery texture. 7. Serve hot with cornbread.
NB. An appropriate dessert would be the Carolina Chocolate Drop cookie I created last year.

Why the World Humanitarian Summit matters
May 11, 2016
There is an important sub-plot unfolding at a major global summit. My own organization, Mercy Corps, is at odds with a peer we admire greatly, Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF – Doctors Without Borders).
In less than two weeks, global leaders gather in Istanbul for the first World Humanitarian Summit. Its stated aim is no less than ending human suffering. It seeks to reform the global humanitarian system, on which millions of lives depend, so that it can face up to a world wracked by sharper, more frequent crises. What cause could be nobler or more urgent?
Yet our esteemed humanitarian peer, MSF, has announced it is pulling out of the Summit. MSF worries both that the Summit won't challenge the kind of impunity that sees hospitals and schools bombed and civilians killed in their thousands in savage, limitless wars; and that it will fold humanitarian emergency response into a wider agenda of resilience and development, subordinating humanitarian action to politics.
We hold MSF in the highest regard. We work alongside them on the frontlines of the world's toughest humanitarian challenges – in Syria, in Afghanistan, in Yemen and elsewhere. Their courage is indomitable. But Mercy Corps still plans to be in Istanbul, alongside hundreds of colleagues from civil society, governments, business, the UN and other multilaterals. Here's why.
The wars and conflicts we face today are the greatest challenge to humanitarian action. One in four people worldwide struggles to survive in poor, fragile countries trapped in cycles of conflict. These conflicts are nasty, bloody, and destructive. Once a country experiences major violence its poverty rate kicks up 21 percent, and the impact stunts growth for generations. Even as wars grow fewer in number, they become less tractable and ever deadlier – conflict mortality has more than doubled over the last nine years. Almost all humanitarian aid funding now goes to save lives amidst chronic conflicts that have dragged on for more than three years.
MSF is right to say that the UN and governments must rediscover their will to enforce the laws of war – laws that place civilians and civilian infrastructure such as hospitals off limits. In Syria alone, recent weeks have seen the deadly bombings of a children's hospital in Aleppo and a camp for displaced civilians in Idlib.
But ending such suffering will not be achieved by disengagement. It's hard to see how the Summit could be expected in one fell swoop to change the incentives for rogue regimes to kill indiscriminately or the license to slaughter felt by non-state violent extremist groups. Nor will the suffering be ended by simply increasing funding. We have to reform a broken system and change the way we humanitarians work.
Mercy Corps is going to Istanbul with one forceful message: we can face down conflict and deliver better lives for people and communities beset by crisis. We can make progress even where diplomacy and statecraft struggle to deliver the goods. This isn't just do-gooding: we know it works because we've seen it work.
For example, in the Central African Republic, a bloody civil war pitted rival Christian and Muslim militia against each other, with civilians caught in the middle. Our peace-building program worked with community leaders on both sides of the conflict and had a profound impact. It transformed people's views of the 'other side' – there was an 86 percent jump in people saying they trusted the rival group, and 96 percent of people involved in our study reported feeling hopeful that they could deliver peace in their communities together. More than 200 fighters from the rival militias voluntarily disarmed and joined community peace groups working to resolve tensions and rebuild their hometowns.
We need to push beyond the tendency for humanitarian aid to churn in endless cycles of crisis and emergency response. To get this right, we need to address the root causes of fragility and conflict from the get-go, investing in conflict management, peace-building and governance programs alongside helping meet basic needs like shelter, healthcare, water and food.
We've learned that attention to the 'software' of fragile societies is at least as important as improving infrastructure. From Iraq to Nigeria, people have told us that their feelings of exclusion, lack of voice, and injustice profoundly affect how they view groups like Islamic State or Boko Haram. Where humanitarian aid recipients have been asked about their feelings about what they've received, they tell us that they're really glad not to be dead – but after that, they need safe communities, access to good education and decent jobs, and a voice in how their government decides things that affect them.
All of that goes beyond what 'classic' humanitarian aid delivers. All of it is vital in strengthening resilience and lessening fragility. Sadly, it's also under-funded and too often pushed aside by humanitarians as something that happens during 'development.' So, while we greatly respect and value MSF and its work, we have a different perspective. The only way that people and communities snared in the conflict trap can break free is if we end stop/go cycles of emergency aid and focus on investing in their resilience even as we meet urgent needs.
That's going to take a new kind of humanitarian politics – smarter but also not afraid of getting its hands dirty to deliver greater impact. One that breaks the stove-pipes that corral humanitarian and development assistance into separate streams and redirects them to one purpose: better, more peaceful, and more productive lives for the people and communities we exist to serve. The World Humanitarian Summit is a big opportunity to push that message from rhetoric into reality. That's why we'll be there.

My friend Michelle is on the Game Show Network
The Game Show Network has started a new game show, called Grand Slam. This game is like the all-star competition of past game show winners. The contestants are top winners from other game shows. They include Ken Jennings ($3 million winner from Jeopardy), John Carpenter ($1 million winner from "Who Wants to be a Millionaire") and many other top winners from other shows.
My friend Michelle was the top winner from the Weakest Link back a few years ago. I knew Michelle back when I lived near Washington D.C. and we all knew she had won the Weakest Link, but never figured it would lead to additional game show opportunties. This game show is a little bit different than others.
Grand Slam pits two contestents against each other. The first person is given a question to answer, and 1 minute on the clock. As the clock ticks down, if the person answers the question correctly, the clock stops and the clock for the other person starts, and they must then answer a question correctly. It reminds me of chess, where a player plays a move (answers a question correctly) and hits the timer so the other person's clock starts. When a player's minute clock ticks down to zero, the other player with time still remaining wins. This is a fast-paced game, where if you get flustered, time seems to fly by and you're gone before you know it.
Of the 16 contestants in the single-elimination tournament, Michelle is ranked 14th (based on career game show earnings). This made her compete against the 3rd ranked player (who was a quiz bowl teacher that won on both Jeopardy and Millionaire). It came down to the final few seconds, but Michelle ended up beating the 3rd ranked player with just 3 seconds to spare. WOOHOO! Now she advances to the next round to compete against either the 6th or 11th ranked players (based on who wins that match).
Here's the short of it all. Michelle's next match is on Sunday Aug 19th. If you have Tivo or a DVR, search for "Grand Slam" and record it. Even though the entire tournament has already been taped, the results are kept secret, so I don't know what's going to happen on the 19th. Root on for Michelle Kitt and hopefully she continues to win and advances to the final four and eventually becomes the Grand Slam Champion.

The name "Quake 3 Arena" brings back loads of memories. For many mid-aged gamers today, it was one of their favourite childhood FPS games. The words "frag", "quad damage" and "gauntlet" became more familiar among the kids, through this game.
For those of you not aware, Bethesda is currently in the process of creating another Quake game called, Quake Champions.Recently, the company released a gameplay footage of its latest project, which features prominent competitive Quake player ZeRo4. The video is unedited and brings the gameplay, exactly as it is.
The video shows ZeRo4 playing a champion known as Anarki. Anarki is an Arena Lord from the good ol' Quake 3 Arena. His main ability is called Injection, which allows him to heal himself and boost his maximum health. His passive ability increases his strafe-jump movement speed and mid-air control to bunny hop.
The arena used in the game is named Blood Covenant. Quake fans can notice some features that resemble designs from older maps like Campgrounds. It is loaded with vertical columns, balconies, tunnels, pillars, and a bridge that brings people together… for a frag or two, I mean.
Quake Champions will be a PC exclusive game and Bethesda released this trailer to announce the game's first major tournament. The tournament will happen at Quakecon in Dallas. There isn't any other detail about this tournament but it might happen soon after the game's official release.
April 6 marks the beginning of Quake Champions' closed beta and it will run through the weekend. As for now, Bethesda hasn't decided on the game's official launch yet.

For those of us working on Rhinebeck sweaters, the recent heat wave here in Massachusetts seemed just a little cruel. But — hurray — it's over and more typical New England fall weather is at hand! So I thought this month's Throwback Thursday post really ought to be about a sweater — because what is fall for us knitters if not sweater season?
First published in fall 2014, Meadow Road is one of my most popular sweater designs. Knit in the round from the bottom up, it features a crisp lace-and-twisted-stitch motif on front and back. With a comfortable A-line shape, it can be worn with lots of positive ease or just a little — whichever you prefer. On the model, the sample was worn with about 4.5 inches of positive ease, but many knitters have opted for a more fitted look with great success.
Meadow Road's wide neckline is finished off with a simple edging of reversed stockinette; the long gathered sleeves, which are knit top down, in the round, have the same edging. The sleeves, by the way, are easily modified. Several knitters have opted instead for ribbing or for 3/4-length sleeves. See the project pages for finished Meadow Roads on Ravelry to get some great ideas!
I knit up the sample in Stitch Sprouts Yellowstone, a smooth, very soft sportweight wool/silk blend. Its crisp stitch definition and lovely drape made it the ideal choice for this pattern.
Now through Sunday, October 1, you can save $1.50 off Meadow Road with the coupon code MEADOW in my Ravelry pattern store. Visit the pattern page or use this link to purchase the pattern with the discount already in your cart. Thanks very much for reading!

Mandated by the Global Change Research Act, the National Climate Assessment is produced every four years by the U.S. Global Change Research Program. This NRC report evaluates the draft 2013 National Climate Assessment. It provides both practical suggestions for immediate improvements to the document, and broader considerations, for example, about fundamental approaches used in certain parts of the draft Assessment, and about the scope of the research that underlies the Assessment findings. Overall, the Panel finds that given the current state of the science and the scope of resources available, the 2013 National Climate Assessment does a reasonable job of fulfilling its charge to inform the President, the Congress, and the nation about the current state of scientific knowledge regarding climate change effects.

Federal housing officials will award about $281 million to the New York region, including the states of Connecticut and New Jersey, to better protect communities from natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy.
The awards for the National Disaster Resilience Competition were announced on Thursday by the secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Julián Castro, and the Rockefeller Foundation, which provided technical assistance to applicants. A total of about $1 billion will be distributed among 13 winners nationwide to help them recover from disasters and better prepare for them.
"Climate change is real and we must think more seriously about how to plan for it," Mr. Castro said in a statement. "The grants we award today, and the other sources of capital these grants will leverage, will make communities stronger, more resilient and better prepared for future natural disasters such as floods and wildfires."
The single largest award in the contest, $176 million, will go to New York City to help build a new flood protection system around Lower Manhattan, along a stretch from Montgomery Street on the Lower East Side to the northern tip of Battery Park City. Specific measures have not yet been determined, but could include adding sea walls and temporary flood walls that could be deployed before a storm, as well as building grass berms that could double as recreational areas.
Another $35.8 million will go to public housing pilot projects in New York State to repair damage from recent disasters like Hurricane Sandy and Tropical Storm Irene as well as to support new approaches to better protect low-income, multifamily properties.
Connecticut will receive $54.28 million for a pilot program in Bridgeport that is part of the state's larger plan to reconnect and protect economically isolated coastal neighborhoods by making investments in infrastructure to protect against flooding and strengthening transportation lines.
New Jersey will receive $15 million to support a new program to help regions and communities address the risk of floods and develop responses such as new building codes and plans.
Other large winners nationally were New Orleans, which will receive $141.26 million to pay for new parks, coastal restoration and work force development, among other things, in the Gentilly neighborhood; and Virginia, which will receive about $120.5 million to support a series of green infrastructure projects to address flooding from storm surges and torrential rains, and to create an economic development center to help businesses respond to climate change.
The awards were the culmination of a two-phase contest, in which the federal housing agency identified 40 states and local communities as finalists in June. The finalists represented areas that had been affected by major disasters declared by President Obama in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
In the second phase, the finalists were invited to submit proposals for specific projects by October to compete for nearly $1 billion in federal funds, of which $181 million was set aside for projects in New York and New Jersey.

Gravel is a Big Thing in cycling right now, with a whole new category of bikes and a growing list of dedicated tyres, accessories and now clothing aimed at those who want to break away from the shackles of the road network. Sportful's new Giara (Italian for gravel) range is intended to appeal to people who want performance clothing wrapped up in a more casual fit and look, and it's a trick it manages very well.
Sportful is a brand perhaps best known for its race-focused clothing, with designs that have benefited from its sponsorship of professional cycling teams over the years. The existing BodyFit jersey and shorts form the basis for the new Giara range, with a similarity of design wrapped up in a new colour palette of muted hues and understated style.
From the outside, the first thing you'll notice is the new style direction. A two-tone colour palette (available in two colour options) with a simple striped design that looks, in my opinion, really good. Colour and design is a subjective thing but there's no denying Sportful has struck a toned-down, subdued appearance with nice flashes of brighter colours that tie the jersey and shorts together. There are reflective details for those rides that last longer than expected and you're chasing the sunset home.
Is there anything gravel-specific about the clothing? No. What would make clothing gravel-specific anyway? I'm not sure. Answers on a postcard. Sportful is betting on people who want to do the gravel and adventure thing wanting more subdued clothing so they don't look like a wannabe pro. There's no stopping you using this kit on the road too; I used it in a 214km audax and the relaxed styling felt very much at home in the numerous tea shops.
The construction of the jersey and shorts appears to be the same as Sportful's regular BodyFit clothing, with no beefing-up in high-wear areas that might have been expected of clothing designed for gravel riding, where the demands on the kit are arguably higher. Suffice to say, testing in the Strade Bianche sportive and subsequent miles on Salisbury Plain's gravel roads and local woodland trails has put the kit through its paces and it's come through it all just fine.
Sportful Giara Bib Shorts (£75)
Let's take a closer look at the shorts. They're very much the same as the regular BodyFit shorts I've tested in previous years. Well-shaped panels ensure a good fit around the legs and hips with no restriction noticeable when riding.
Holding the shorts up in place are thin, mesh bib straps that are comfortable over the shoulder, and there's a thin elasticated hem lined with silicone gripper tape to keep them from shifting about. Even during more energetic gravel riding when throwing some shapes, the shorts didn't budge.
Inside, the padded insert is Sportful's own BodyFit Pro, a chamois comprising various thicknesses and densities of foam padding. It's a well-proven design and provides incredible comfort for rides as long as you have the energy to tackle them. There's no irritation at the edges with the interface between the pad and shorts, and they remain dry during hotter rides well.
Sportful Giara Jersey (£75)
The Giara jersey is similarly based on the BodyFit jersey, but Sportful has employed a slightly more relaxed fit, reasoning that those riding gravel and adventure events and rides might not want a second skin jersey that maximises aerodynamics, and are prepared to trade a few watts for a looser, less restrictive fit.
It's a comfortable jersey. The polyester fabric is pleasant against the skin and it copes well in hot weather, staying dry under the most demanding riding conditions. You get three regular sized pockets for stashing all your ride essentials, along with a small zipped pocket for safely storing house/car keys, especially when riding over bumpy ground when there's a risk of your pocket contents being ejected.
There's no denying the rise in popularity of gravel and adventure cycling, and away from the obvious hype this movement is attracting there is definitely more interest in mixed terrain, go-anywhere riding. The bikes are getting more capable and making it easy to add off-road detours to otherwise regular road rides, with less focus on average speeds and KOMs and more interest in getting out into the countryside and riding quiet bridleways, byways, gravel roads and woodland trails.
> Buyer's Guide: The best gravel and adventure bikes
The new Sportful Giara clothing range, with its understated appearance underpinned by performance design and comfort, perfectly meets this style of riding. It might not bring anything revolutionary to the table but it's an attractive alternative to race-inspired clothing designs. Whether you're doing a gravel event or riding around the hills on a sunny Sunday afternoon with a relaxed coffee stop, the Giara range gets a thumbs-up from me.

Make and model: Sportful Giara jersey and bib shorts
Size tested: Small
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Re the Giara jersey, Sportful says: "Designed for riders who want an elegant style while they are enjoying their ride. With toned-down styling that doesn't scream "bike racer," it's at home on epic all-day rides but also doesn't look out of place as you pedal out of the city. Casual performance cut and subtle styling that adapt to asphalt, gravel or coffee stops."
Re the bib shorts: "Built with the same DNA as our race shorts but with a refined style that works well even when you are just "riding your bike." High-stretch fabric allows us to eliminate many seams to offer extra comfort and a stealth look."
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Upper body in heathered polyester fabric gives great coverage with a sophisticated style
Color highlights are also reflective for stylish safety
3 rear pockets with 1 additional zipped pocket for convenience and security
Lightweight mesh bibs
High elastane content for great stretch and support
Internal leg elastic grip
BodyFit Pro pad
Reflective highlights
Built to the usual high standards we've come to expect from Sportful.
There's no cutting back on the performance despite the jersey's relaxed style and fit.
I've been pounding the Giara clothing through miles of gravel and off-road riding, over Salisbury Plain and through my local woods, and durability hasn't been a concern.
The slightly more generous fit of the jersey will appeal to people who don't necessarily want the tightest fitting top.
The padding in the shorts is comfortable even on the longest rides, the fit and fabric of the jersey looks after you in a range of temperatures.
The jersey and shorts cost £75 each. For shorts that's very competitive and together they make a good looking and well-priced combo.
How easy is the product to care for? How did it respond to being washed?
Very easy to look after.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
For gravel and off-road rides, and regular road rides, the Giara clothing performed very well.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
The understated styling and muted colours look really good.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Isn't much to fault. If you prefer a race-fit jersey, the Giara isn't for you, unless you size down.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Yes
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes
Use this box to explain your score
Even if you ignore the hype surrounding gravel riding, here's a range of clothing that combines a new understated colour palette for the Italian company with the great fit and fabrics Sportful has a good reputation for, and at good prices.

Additive manufacturing holds great disruptive potentials for Austrian firms. Both, large enterprises and small and medium sized enterprises can profit from taking a closer look at layer-based production technology that provides the chance for individualized automation for the first time in history. Business models have to be reassessed with having in mind the technological possibilities for generating new customer value with novel designs and product features. Besides to interdisciplinary expertise necessary for tapping the full potential of additive manufacturing also a lack of fundamental knowledge of this production paradigm is hindering diffusion on a broader base. "Thus it would be necessary to start building awareness for this technology and its potentials already in schools", explains IFI professor Matthias Fink, who together with IFI researchers Johannes Gartner and Daniela Maresch, conducted a study about the potential of additive manufacturing. Funded by the Chamber of Commerce Upper Austria and the Austrian Council for Research and Technology Development, the team interviewed experts, conducted focus groups and engaged in an extensive text analysis identifying core discourses in a total of 5,445 articles published in the online magazine " 3Druck.com" between 2011 and 2016. "What is discussed in such newsgroups is shaping present actions, which in turn coin our future", so Fink.

Our second installment of WE'VE NEVER MET is now available. Pick up a copy of Quick in racks around town. You can see it online, but it's not quite the same as the delicious full size print version.
This one was trickier.
Here's how the process works. I script something and send it to Geoff Johnston for comedic feedback. ("A third public radio station that broadcasts only pledge drives" was Geoff. I forget the original line.) I don't consider myself a naturally funny person. I mean, I can be funny, but it's like calling someone a designer because they can put together Ikea furniture. I know what funny looks like. I know how to follow the directions to get to funny, but it's not a nature process. For this reason, I try to keep WE'VE NEVER MET from being a straight forward "gag comic."
After I banter with Geoff for a bit, I then send it to my editor Rob Clark for further feedback and approval. (We had several revisions on the final line.) Then, it goes to Chad.
With WE'VE NEVER MET is in its infant stages, we're still working through the character designs. This one introduces Liz's friend Addie. Although she looks great now, we had a difficult time designing Addie. I knew what she needed to look like in my head, but something was lost in communicating it to Chad. That falls on me. What you see on the page is version 4.0. Chad was tremendously patient -- hairstyle, clothing, and body type. I was in full out nitpicky mode.
In the end, I think this comic is better than our first, but it wasn't the graceful process that you dream it will be. Eventually, we'll fall into a good rhythm.

Koyomi Araragi is studying hard in preparation for his college entryway tests when he begins to observe something really odd: his reflection no longer appears in a mirror, a characteristic of a true vampire.
Worried about the state of his body, he employs the help of the human-like doll Yotsugi Ononoki and her master Yozuru Kagenui, an immortal oddity expert.
Quickly understanding exactly what is wrong with him, Yozuru gives him 2 options: either abstain from using the vampiric abilities he got from Shinobu Oshino, or lose his humanity forever.

WDZD has a Breaking News Story!
If you've been following the Adventures of Straight White Guylately, its no surprise that Eric claims to have a Bovine Fan Club. Eric reportedly was adored by a herd of cows.
This reporter has obtained special footage of Eric's encounter the day after his Bovine lunch break. That's right folks, he went back looking to reclaim his honor. We are shocked at the ruthlessness to which Eric seeks vengance. He cleverly disguises himself so he won't be recognized by the herd. However, one cow isn't so easily foooooled.
Please...be careful viewing the moooooovie below the fold. It's definitely not for those with 4 weak stomachs. At one point it's a teatillating experience to behold.

The lessons learnt from the first harvest at my place in January (reported in the last newsletter) resulted in a seamless process for the second cutting and milling operation in mid-June.
I have chosen LDS Silviculture Pty (Lundesang) as the contractor. They have been very supportive of our project from the beginning and were able to offer me a complete service from felling to milling. (And in my case the offer of temporary storage of the timber).
I decided to harvest only silver quandong in this instance, given the cool dry weather, and the lowered risk of bluestain getting a hold. The outcome will become clearer as the timber dries over the next few months.
Felling Operations
The operation began as in the previous harvest, using a throw-bag to send a thin cord over a high branch, to which the falling rope from the winch is attached and then hauled up. Happily, due to some highly skilled felling techniques from the Lundesang team, collateral damage from felling these large trees has been minimal.
A couple of the trees had to be climbed, since the lowest branches were beyond the reach of the throwline… I later measured one of the trunks at around 15 metres clear stem before the first branch.
The technique of using a sling and pulley around a suitable tree, to offset the pull rope, worked well once again – safely placing the tractor and winch at right angles to the fall.
I took a slow-motion video of the above tree falling, which is interesting to watch. I will try to get a link to it onto the website sometime soon.
Milling and Timber Quality Issues
One unfortunate lesson I have learnt is becoming obvious as the internal state of these magnificent trunks are revealed as they are opened up by the bandsaw mill. The extent of defect from poor early pruning practice is evident. I delayed pruning until the DBH was more than 150mm. The result in many cases is a log core with wound defect more extensive than I had hoped!
The resulting timber is now safely under cover, and will air-dry for a while before being finished in the new Solar kiln at Lundesang to a merchantable moisture content of around 12%.
The kiln at Lundesang is currently under construction, but already watertight, so it is being used as temporary shelter for my timber. The final Construction work will carry on around it!

11th of October is noted to be the date set aside by the United Nations to celebrate the girl child globally and this was well commemorated in Kabba, the West Senatorial District of Kogi State by Heal for Africa Initiative, a not for profit organization committed to creating a society with Good Health and Wellbeing, Quality Education and Advocacy for Livelihood.
Charles Osagie reports that in line with the UN global theme, "A Skilled Girl Force", Heal For Africa Initiative visited over 700 girls at St. Monica's College Kabba with the Pay Attention To Her (PATH) Project, to empower the young girls mentally, as well as promoting sexual, reproductive health and rights.
The NGO's Chairman Board of Trustees, who doubles as the Chief Press Secretary to Kogi State Governor, also an advocate for pregnant women and premature babies, Mrs. Petra Akinti Onyegbule spoke extensively on self esteem and building confidence as a girl child. With inspiring stories, she emphasized on the need to build their capacity and acquire skills for employability. The BOT Chairman brilliantly captured the PATH Project theme and the UN global theme of the 2018 girl child day.
The convener and Executive Director of Heal For Africa Initiative, Dr. Kelechi Okoro took time to enlighten the participants on menstrual health, sexual hygiene and their role in nation building. She also widened their knowledge about the implications of poor menstrual hygiene to their reproductive health, how they can better cater for themselves and be free of distractions emanating from ill health and how it translates into better self perception and self esteem which enhances their functioning.
YALI Kogi's representative, Miss. Bridget Ezeh; the Kabba origin CEO of Okun TV, Mr. Sunday Baye Aseda; as well as Heal for Africa Initiative's Project Manager and CEO House of Impact, Mr. Charles Osagie were on stage to consolidate on the PATH theme "The Empowered Girl". They took their turns to motivate the girls into joining in solving today's societal problems with several inspiring true life stories to aid retention.
A beautiful playlet which got a standing ovation was done by the Heal For Africa Volunteers to teach handling puberty and menstruation at their early stages. As well as resisting peer pressure and the role of a counselor for young girls.
Immediately after the convener took several questions from the eager girls, there was distribution of sanitary pads, deodorants, liquid antiseptics, soaps, tissue papers and other hygiene products to outstanding students at the event and to over 700 attendees.
The school Principal, Mrs. Olowokere Esther; the Chaplin, Fr. Donatus Ogunleye; the Head Girl, Miss Omieza Catherine; and other teachers in attendance were full of praises to the convener and her team for putting up such an awesome event in their school, which happens to be the third edition of the PATH School Tour behind Al Ansar Secondary School and Muslim Community Secondary School, both in Lokoja.
There was a lot of side attractions that made learning and the commemoration of the 2018 International Day of Girl Child fun for the students of St. Monica's College Kabba Kogi State.
The Pay Attention To Her School Tour 3.0 was proudly supported by The Pearls of Purity, Confluence Youth Initiative for Change, GAMAC Foundation and True Foundation and other individual donors.
