Internet marketing software provides you with free content for your sites, in two clicks. Writing good articles is an art, and, for most of us, it requires so much time that an option is to use both duplicate content (dup) and unique content on our sites. A key to rank with dup is to choose well the articles we publish on our sites, and to organize them within a super clear nomenclature.
You enter a keyword, you choose a directory, the software automatically takes you to the results. Whenever you found an article you want to publish, you may use both the 'Get' buttons, in order to display either the whole page's code, or just the page's content, in a new window.

The Believer's Box is a Christian subscription box for women, that sends three pieces of jewelry, a Christian print, and scriptures cards for only $25.95/month. The items in the box focus on strengthening your relationship with God and strengthening your spirituality. The Believer's Box also gives you several scriptures to pray and reflect on each month.
The Details:
Cost: $25.95/month, $86.85/3 months, $167.70/ 6 months
Coupon: Use this link with the coupon BELIEVE10 to save 10% off your first box.
What's in the box? Each month you will get three pieces of jewelry or accessories, a print and 2-3 witness/scripture cards.
The Believer's Box comes in a really beautiful box. I love all the flourishes.
First Look
There were little gold sequence sprinkled throughout the box.
The Believer's Box really goes out on their information cards. Not only do they include basic information about each item, but they also include scripture that goes with that item.
5×7 Gold Print $8.00 Proverbs 3:6 is one of my favorite scriptures, so this print is going to be framed. When you don't know what you should do, trust in God and he will guide your heart to the right path.
Scripture Based Letterpress Recipe Cards $8.00 There are 6 recipe cards, all printed on recycled paper. You can attach your favorite recipe to a gift or use these in your recipe box.

Inspirational Dayspring DayBrightener $11.00 I have received about 5 calendars in subscription boxes this year, but this is the first daily calendar. Every page has an IM message from God, along with scripture to explain the message.
This is a look inside the calendar. I like how they used modern IM messages to explain scripture.
Jasper Arrowhead Pendant Necklace $25.00 This arrowhead necklace fits nicely with the print from Proverbs 3:5-6, but can also represent Isaiah 43:18, 19. "Do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? This message tells us to look to 2016 with hope, as God has great plans.
This is a closeup of the necklace.

Valve co-founder and CEO Gabe Newell believes piracy stems not from price, but from convenience. And as Steam boasts fast access to a dizzying selection of games, so piracy has become "basically a non-issue" for Valve.
"In general, we think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy," Newell told The Cambridge Student, via VG247. "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.
"For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24x7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable. Most DRM solutions diminish the value of the product by either directly restricting a customers use or by creating uncertainty.
"Our goal is to create greater service value than pirates, and this has been successful enough for us that piracy is basically a non-issue for our company.
"For example," Newell added, "prior to entering the Russian market, we were told that Russia was a waste of time because everyone would pirate our products. Russia is now about to become our largest market in Europe.
"We were told that Russia was a waste of time because everyone would pirate our products. Russia is now about to become our largest market in Europe."
Gabe Newell, CEO and co-founder, Valve
Steam's digital distribution platform requires you download and log into a Steam application each time you wish to play a game. This simple check performs a service many DRM services are criticised for. Steam also ensures games are up to date, as well as offers multiplayer matchmaking facilities, friend lists, achievements and various other platform-based community features.
Such is Steam's persuasion that many top-tier publishers and developers now opt for Steamworks tools to be implemented deep within their games. This packages Steam's clever bits - multiplayer, cloud saving, authentication, etc. - so that developers can build them into games early on.
Half-Life 2 effectively launched Steam in 2004, but it wasn't until 2005 that the service welcomed its first third-party games. Today, seven years after HL2, Steam dominates the PC (and Mac) digital distribution video game market.
Team Fortress 2 item makers have made over $2 million selling their digital creations, Valve has announced.
Yesterday marked the first full year of the in-game Mann Co. Store, and during that time user-generated content creators have made millions selling their virtual wares.
The Mann Co. Store is where the community designs, buys, sells and trades items TF2 characters can wear, such as hats.
"The 'Mann Co. Store' represents an important new direction for games and game makers," said Valve boss Gabe Newell.
"By leveraging and extending the platform features of Steam, Team Fortress 2 has enabled a viable marketplace for independent content creators and significantly extended the gameplay experience in an incredibly short amount of time."
Meanwhile, Valve has made live the Steam Workshop, an improved submission hub for community-created content. It's designed to make it easy to upload entries, check their status and get feedback from Valve. The Team Fortress community can view, comment on and rate items there, too.
Valve's added 30 new hats and cosmetic items, an item decal system, a "try before you buy" system, loadout presets, improved game performance and a new taunt as part of the Manniversary Update, which the company describes as "one of the largest and most ambitious in TF2's four-year history".
Pre-purchasing Football Manager 2012 from Steam gets you a handful of exclusive in-game Team Fortress 2 extras, Valve has announced.
Put down your £29.99 now ahead of the Sega footie sim's release later this month and you'll receive the following:
For some, a video game doesn't stop when the power is turned off - their gaming experiences are bleeding into their day-to-day lives.
This can lead to video game-like reactions to real-life situations, Nottingham Trent University and Stockholm University have discovered.
It's called Game Transfer Phenomena.
The study - Game Transfer Phenomena in Video Game Playing: A Qualitative Interview Study - interviewed 42 "frequent" gamers aged between 15 and 21 years old. "Many" of the subjects "appeared to integrate elements of video game playing into their real lives".
The full study must be bought for $30. One amusing excerpt reported on The Metro website describe a 15 year-old boy wanting to use a gravity gun from Half-Life 2 to fetch something from the fridge. And why not?
One 19-year-old Price of Persia: Sands of Time enthusiast dropped his sandwich and immediately his finger used to press the rewind-time button twitched. A natural response.
Another 19-year-old thought he could use World of Warcraft's search function to locate his brother in a crowd. What a good idea.
Apparently half of the gamers interviewed said they'd looked for something from a video game to solve a real-life issue. One interviewee apparently saw a menu of topics available for him to think about (Heavy Rain?); another formulated a list of possible responses after being insulted (Mass Effect 2?).
Of course, there is a darker side to all of this. Use of aggressive, criminal and/or violent fantasies as solutions to real-life problems were reported by "a few" of the players.
The Daily Mail focused on one particular 15-year-old who said that "sometimes" he wants to be able to get a gun and "shoot down" people. "Irritating people", mind you.
"A recurring trend suggests that intensive gaming may lead to negative psychological, emotional or behavioural consequences," concluded report author professor Mark Griffiths, "with enormous implications for software developers, parents, policy makers and mental health professionals."
This research is being followed up by a study of 2000 gamers.
The Game Transfer Phenomena report hits headlines a day after Grand Theft Auto was linked to a shooting spree and eventually a murder onboard a Royal Navy submarine.
Code possibly belonging to Half-Life 2: Episode 3 has been spotted in the leaked beta client for Dota 2.
The lines of code are for something called "ep3". Take a leap and transform that to Episode 3, and the code suggests the project lives on.
Not only that, we're also given an insight into some weaponry - an ice gun, a flamethrower and a "weaponizer".
Half-Life 2 was released in 2004; Episode 1 in 2006; Episode 2 in 2007.
Four years and many Valve games - Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2 - have passed since. And now Valve concentrates on Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
The absence of Half-Life 2: Episode 3 from Valve press releases, coupled with suggestions that the runaway success of Steam may have impeded Valve's game development, have led many to give up hope.
Has the boat sailed for Episode 3? Should Valve instead concentrate on Half-Life 3?
The Dota 2 beta client link comes from Vietnam. Lambda Generation has rounded up the data mined from the leak.
Video: Half-Life 2: Episode 2.
Inspired first-person puzzle game Portal is free to download on Steam until 20th September.
Maker Valve is running the deal to showcase how Portal and Portal 2 can and have helped kids grasp trickier aspects of science in an enjoyable way.
Apparently Portal makes things like physics and problem solving "cool and fun". And that "gets us one step closer to our goal: engaged, thoughtful kids!"
Portal, a short game, is a calm and bullet-free puzzle solving experience. Twists of humour and taxing, portal-based conundrums made it one of the best games of 2007.
Eurogamer's Portal review awarded 9/10.
Video: Portal finished in nine minutes. It's not always that short.
Steam has officially launched its new Trading feature today following last month's open beta.
Thanks to an auto update which has just gone live, you can now trade Steam Gifts and in-game items from Team Fortress 2, Portal 2 and Sega adventure Spiral Knights with other members of the Steam community.
Valve is apparently working with other developers to incorporate the service in their games, with further announcements expected over the coming months.
For the full lowdown on how item trading works, check out the Steam FAQ.
Quake mod Team Fortress launched 15 years ago today. To celebrate, Valve is giving anyone who plays Team Fortress 2 today a goody bag of TF2 swag.
What do you get? A free hat, naturally - of the party variety. A free noisemaker - which you can use as much as you like today and then not again for another year. Plus free cake and gifts (remodelled health kits and ammo packs).
Valve has also turned on Birthday mode - meaning levels get a "Happy Birthday Team Fortress" beach ball.
The Celebration Gib is also active, which turns exploded players' blood and guts into showers of balloons and confetti.
Team Fortress, a mod for id Software classic Quake, was followed by Team Fortress 2 in 2007. Valve has been tinkering with it ever since, and earlier this year made it free-to-play.
Valve wants the Xbox Live Arcade version of upcoming shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to feature Steamworks integration.
But it faces a tough job convincing Microsoft to let it do so.
"We certainly can deliver a lot of value to customers to the degree to which we have those capabilities," Valve boss Gabe Newell told Eurogamer.
"The PS3, obviously we made a lot more progress with that. The PS3 customers of Portal 2 are going to start to see the benefits of that with Portal 2 DLC coming out in September. So we'd really like to be able to do that for Xbox customers as well."
The PS3 version of Portal 2 features a number of exclusive features as a result of Steamworks integration, including cross-platform play with the PC version.
There's also cross-platform chat, Steam Achievements (earned in synch with Trophies), player profiles and game invites. You can even play Portal 2 on a PC or Mac - Valve grants a free PC/Mac Steam edition of the game to PS3 gamers.
Xbox Live, however, remains a closed platform, with Microsoft employing strict guidelines on what publishers can and cannot do.
"The main thing is having Microsoft get comfortable with it and let us do it," Newell said of the challenges Valve faces bringing Steamworks to Xbox.
"Right now, there's a huge amount of updates and free content we've been able to deliver to people who have The Orange Box that we haven't been able to deliver to the Xbox because of the restrictions that have been placed on us on Xbox Live.
"We'd love to see those relaxed. Other developers on the PS3 are starting to benefit from Sony's more open approach. Hopefully that will help Microsoft see that's a good strategy for making customers happy, that the barbarians won't tear down the walls of Xbox and turn it into some chaotic wasteland."
One game making use of Sony's more relaxed policy is Dust 514, from Eve Online developer CCP.
"Let's just say that with Sony at least they have policies that allow us to build the game the way we want," CCP CTO Halldor Fannar said during an E3 presentation attended by Eurogamer in June. "That is one of the reasons why we've gone with PSN."
Valve isn't the first MMO developer to find Xbox Live troublesome.
Last year Final Fantasy XIV Online creator and director Hiromichi Tanaka told Eurogamer that a "closed" Xbox Live blocked the game from appearing on Xbox 360.
"The main reason why we couldn't go with Xbox 360 was the Xbox Live system," he explained. "[Live is] different to the normal internet environment, so when we wanted to introduce this game in the same environment as Windows PC it had to be PS3, so that was our choice.
"Microsoft has a different point of view: they want to have a closed environment for Xbox Live. We're still talking to... We couldn't come to an agreement on Xbox Live."
MMO developer Cryptic chucked in the towel on an Xbox 360 version of Champions Online in early 2010. Producer Craig Zinkievich told Eurogamer he was frustrated with the business side of getting an MMO on Xbox Live; the game itself, he said, ran just fine.
Sony, however, seems more open to the idea of allowing MMO developers to play by their own rules on the Network.
"Sony allows us to use our systems," Fannar explained. "Microsoft has Xbox Live. They're very strict on that. There are a lot of issues we run into. It may be a basic thing people don't realise, but with Dust and Eve on Sony's network, we can allow them to chat together. Voice chat, text chat, that's all one world.
"One of the reasons for the partnership with Sony is because they're opening up new ways to do these things. We're going to be managing most of it. We're using PlayStation just for credentials, stuff like that. Then it's all our stuff.
"With our agreement with Sony they seem to be fine with our three month expansion cycle. They've been looking at the MMO space for a while, trying to understand why something like that hasn't still happened on the console. They're coming to terms with it. There are certain things they have to relax just to allow these things to function."
Still, there appears to be hope for Xbox 360 owners - a report in June claimed free-to-play games were coming to the console and that Microsoft was talking with developers to discuss free-to-play game deals.
And last month Hi-Rez Studios boss Todd Harris, who is making Tribes: Ascend, told Eurogamer free-to-play games supported by micro-transactions on Xbox 360 were "inevitable".
Valve is yet to decide how to monetise CS: GO - indeed it may end up free to play, as its other shooter, Team Fortress 2, is.
Square Enix will release the latest game from former Valve designer and Portal co-creator Kim Swift, with an official unveiling due this weekend.
The game, which Square's tease dubs "incredibly fascinating and quirky", is being developed at Dark Void developer Airtight Games, where Swift is now a project lead. We'll find out more about the title this Saturday at the PAX Prime show in Seattle.
Swift joined Valve straight out of Washington tech college DigiPen in 2005, where she co-developed Narbacular Drop - the direct inspiration for Portal's basic mechanics. As well as Portal, she also worked on Left 4 Dead 2 before leaving for Airtight back in December 2009.
Airtight's last effort, Capcom-published jet-pack actioner Dark Void, missed the mark when it launched back in January 2010, picking up a scrappy 5/10 from Eurogamer's Dan Pearson.

An Oresteia
Dan Bacalzo • New York City • Apr 1, 2009
The major problem besetting the production is immediately apparent as soon as you enter the theater and see Riccardo Hernandez's impractical set. Those seated in the two side sections must peer through a narrow gap in the side walls and are likely to be unable to properly see the action on certain segments of the stage (particularly the upper level). To make matters worse, at the performance I attended, the center doors of the main wooden set unit would not stay in their proper position, and their swinging was distracting for those of us in the center section, and made it even more impossible for those on the sides to see.
However, the set is not the only obstacle to this endeavor, which is broken into two separately ticketed events (with marathon performances on weekends). Part I covers Agamemnon and Elektra, and is directed by Brian Kulick and Gisela Cardenas. The handling of the text in both these plays is often heavy-handed, with several of the actors giving overly emotive speeches without connecting to the material. As Klytaimestra, Stephanie Roth Haberle plays everything on the surface, giving the appearance of indignation rather than letting the audience see the depths of her passion. On the plus side, Craig Baldwin brings a convincingly frantic madness to the role of Aigisthos in Agamemnon, although that part is less successfully played by Christopher McCann in Elektra. Annika Boras, who plays Elektra, is often effective, wringing out true anguish from many of her speeches, and her interaction with sister Chrysothemis (Michi Barall) brings out a layered complexity to this sibling relationship.
Mickey Solis is curiously stiff as Orestes in Elektra, but comes to vivid life in director Paul Lazar's staging of Orestes, which is the only play presented in Part II of An Oresteia. Here, Solis nicely balances his character's Fury-induced madness with a wry sense of humor that is particularly evident in his interactions with Menelaos (Steve Mellor). While Part I's modern-dress production has its quirks, Lazar also shifts the performance style to a much more experimental mode, complete with stylistic nods to artists such as Richard Foreman and The Wooster Group.
It's also in this play that Carson is the most noticeably contemporary in her use of language, referring to Helen as a "weapon of mass destruction" and having Orestes whine about his "exit strategy." Lazar also seems to have imported some of his own language, as there's a speech made by David Neumann as a Trojan Slave that includes a curious mention of a handjob in a men's bathroom which does not actually appear in the printed version of Carson's Oresteia translations, recently published by Faber and Faber. Neumann, by the way, is highly entertaining, even singing one of his speeches in the style of Leonard Cohen. (The original music by Christian Frederickson is also quite good.)
Such offbeat choices make this segment of the trilogy more effective than the previous two parts, although traditionalists might be turned off by some of the quirky dances and use of microphones which admittedly have become sort of cliché in avant-garde circles. Lazar also benefits from Euripides' different approach to his subject matter, which incorporates much more humor than Aiskhylos or Sophokles. Portions of the production are staged farcically, and this tale of morally compromised anti-heroes has a stronger resonance with contemporary sensibilities than the more celebratory conclusion of The Eumenides, which is Aiskhylos' more well known ending to the Oresteia.

Planning Minister Dr Bhoe Tewarie is clearly very upset and angry over the recent judgment given by the court in which the Joint Consultative Council (JCC) was given the right to see certain legal advice obtained by the Planning Ministry in relation to the tendering process for the $5.5 billion Invaders Bay project.
We can assess that he is very upset and angry because his various attempts to respond to the judgment have grown progressively more shrill, more obfuscatory and more tendentious. Dr Tewarie is not an unintelligent man so, after witnessing his verbal contortions and attempts to strew red herrings across Invaders Bay, one has to wonder whether the waters there do not conceal something more rotten than appears on the surface.
Dr Tewarie�s first response was to release a statement from his Ministry which, in its few paragraphs, contained so many glaring contradictions that it is difficult to understand what its purpose really was. The statement asserts that the issue the court adjudicated on was a very narrow legal one having to do with the issue of freedom of information.
The statement insists that the matter upon which the court had ruled had nothing to do with transparency or the legality of the project, or its validity to further our objective of economic diversification.
Even though this seems to be the main thrust of his argument Dr Tewarie, in the same statement, avers that, �At the heart of the Invaders Bay matter is the economic issue of diversification which this Kamla Persad-Bissessar administration is absolutely committed to as part of Government�s vision for our country. Debate on such issues is always healthy but we ought to proceed on the basis of facts.�
And, furthermore, that at every stage in the development of the project the Government has been �transparent, (and has) followed transparent procedures and sound legal advice�.
The source of the confusion in the statement is not difficult to find. For, as was stated by the judge in the ruling, �There must always be transparency in any project undertaken by Government and all attempts should be made as to dispel any perception of financial impropriety or misappropriation of public funds in the carrying out of those projects.�
So, as far as the court was concerned, the matter was indeed all about transparency and none of Dr Tewarie�s gyrations can make it not so. But there is more. For Dr Tewarie would also have to answer why, even before the matter went to court, his Ministry had refused for so long to respond to the JCC�s request that it explain why it decided to bypass the Tenders Board in the award of the contract for the project.
Dr Tewarie would also have to explain why, when his Ministry did respond, it told the JCC the Government was under no obligation to release the requested documents because �disclosure was not justified in the public interest� and �the decision to move forward with the process and the selection of the three chosen investors was agreed to by Cabinet�.
It is nothing short of astounding that Dr Tewarie and his Ministry could be so contemptuous of the intelligence and common sense of the citizens as to seek to argue that the matter in all respects was transparent, legal and above board because �the decision�was agreed to by Cabinet.�
But Dr Tewarie was not finished trying to muddy the waters of Invaders Bay. Not satisfied, perhaps, that his statement had had the desired impact, Dr Tewarie went to Parliament and sought to layer the obfuscation even more thickly.
In Parliament he resorted to tried and true People�s Partnership administration stratagem of accusing the PNM of �doing it before�. As he stated: �The history of Invaders Bay as a project predates the Partnership Government and involves a number of interested�and some may say self-interested�parties. The only reason it has become so controversial in our time is because there were deals already in motion before we came; there was a line-up of people for the project.�
No, Dr Tewarie. We are not going to let you get away with this one. The reason this project has become �so controversial in our time� is that, if we were to judge from your contortions and gyrations, you have failed to be open and transparent.
So we agree with your statement that, �Perhaps the time has come to put all facts related to Invaders Bay back in the public domain.� Do yourself and the country a favour by doing just that.

Mosul's Christians plead for aid from Iraqi government
July 31, 2014
Hundreds of Mosul's Christians who have fled to the city of Dohuk held a protest to plead for humanitarian assistance from the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan regional government, the ANSA news agency reported.
Farid Yacub, spokesman for the Assyrian Democratic Movement, also called upon the Iraqi government to pass a law upholding Christians' rights to the property they abandoned when the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant forced them to leave Mosul.

Ahead of Monday's deadline to register to vote in Virginia, Republicans and Democrats are making a big push this weekend to get supporters signed up.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) headlined the Democrats' bus tour.
"Virginia deserves the attention, but nobody's taking any vote or any state for granted," Patrick, who has also spent time in Minnesota, Colorado, Florida and North Carolina on behalf of the campaign, said in a phone interview between stops.
"I think it's very important to show up and energize the volunteers," he added.
On Sunday, the Democrats' bus will swing through Mount Vernon, Richmond and Charlottesville. Former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm and Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) will be the main attractions.
Romney's bus will hit Williamsburg Sunday with Del. Mike Watson (R-Williamsburg) aboard.

I've learned that smoking it more dangerous then many people think.Smoking one cig. takes away six minouts of your life,it my not seam like alot but it is.I am vary sad to say that i know many people who are throwing away their lives to these death stixs.A seventh grader who is vary specil to me smokes and he went from a straght A student to all F's.He is now in seventh grade but he started smoking in fourth and many of his friends did the same.I can't belive why he wpuld throw away his life just for cigerits.The thing that upsets me the most is that his mom knows he smokes and doesn't do a thing about it.I talked to the seventh grader about why he started smoking and he said"I started so people know i don't care about the law" and right at that point I started to cry."why would you do this to your self and your family? You are killing yourself." and all he said was "I don't care."

how is anyone supposed to take you seriously if you can't even spell? and smoking one cigarette will not take six minutes from your life and im pretty sure it won't make you so stupid that you go from straight A's to F's. I personally don't smoke ciggaretes, but i dont mind if others do.

That statistic is complete BS. There is no way to tell that a person loses six minutes of life from each cigarette; it's a myth that arose from the fact that every square takes about six minutes to smoke for someone who doesn't smoke uncommonly quickly and goes all the way down to the filter. Obviously this kid's grades didn't drop for the simple fact of him having nicotine in his system. If his mom doesn't care that he smokes there are clearly problems at home that are ... (more »)

Tottenham fullback Kyle Walker says he's learned how to handle Twitter critics.
Walker knows better than most the swarm of criticism that can come a Premier League footballer's way in the current climate, having reacted angrily to abusive messages and then deleted his account following Spurs' 4-2 defeat to Chelsea in October. He is back on now and has nearly 300,000 followers - but is more aware of the responsibility this brings.
"After every game you get certain people tweeting about you and you will get three or four who do slag you off," he reveals. "In their eyes you can't do right for doing wrong. And I do think to myself: 'Do these people even have a clue about football?' But then I think: 'Well Kyle you've got 300,000 followers and only four out of them are saying negative things about you.'
"I do it for the fans to know what I'm up to. If I can tweet something of the lads having a bit of banter in the changing rooms, that's what I give back to them.
"I think (responding angrily) was me showing my immaturity. I'm just being human but in the job I do you have to react a certain way. If you've got that many followers on Twitter I think you should just bite your tongue.
"How I've been brought up - I would react. But then you have to say you're a professional footballer, you've got a lot of kids following you on Twitter who look up to you. If my role model was doing that I wouldn't like it."

Ramsdell cited Leon's issues with drug use, constant demands for money and refusal to work as prime factors in Jimi and Leon's father Al Hendrix's decision to largely omit Leon from his will. Al inherited the estate when Jimi died of drug-related complications in 1970 at the age of twenty-seven; Al died in 2002 at the age of eighty-two.
"I'm very thankful and grateful to the judge," says Janie, Al's adopted daughter and president of Experience Hendrix, the company that controls Jimi Hendrix's music and image. "He was able to uphold my dad's wishes. But then, on the other side, I wish Leon was able to reconcile those differences with my dad while he was alive."
It wasn't a complete victory for Janie, however, as Ramsdell ruled that she and cousin Robert Hendrix had mismanaged the estate and failed to make payments to ten family members named as beneficiaries in Al Hendrix's will. The judge also made Janie and Robert liable for their court costs.
Leon did not respond to a request for comment by press time, but in the past he's blamed Janie for his limited inheritance from his father: one gold record.
"He was my dad," Leon told Rolling Stone last year. "And he never said or thought any different until Janie put that into his head."

Composites manufacturing can see a renaissance to recapture the global leadership by the US industry. The government and industry will co-invest on an equal basis, with a minimum of total resource of $25 million per year for five years. We wish to collaborate with forward-looking companies with little or no cost to them. Stanford's effort, to be funded by NIST, will increase company's competitiveness, with some specific benefits:
1) To have access to and working side-by-side with world-class students, postdocs, and leading scholars and engineers
2) To go to the source, intellectual leaders; cut through layers of management and integrators and transfer technology directly
3) To integrate innovations into commercialization
4) To obtain objectivity, in-depth knowledge and expanded skills
5) To maintain or leapfrog company's market and market share
6) To have exclusive support from Stanford for contract research
7) To accelerate progress and payoff in in-house program
8) To receive ideas and data in bidding for government contracts
9) To use workshops to improve workforce skills and morale, and customize training at community colleges of technicians for composites including operation of specialized equipment
10) To earn Stanford Ph.D. for qualified candidates while working
The US Government is forming a High Tech Manufacturing Initiative. By establishing 15 domains that will re-establish the country's dominance in manufacturing. This Initiative will have its impact on product/service competitiveness in the world market resulting in exports, training and job creation.
The Stanford Composites Center is taking the lead in forming a group in the Fiber Reinforced Composites (FRC) Domain. We invite all interested companies to join us in this initiative. We are looking for Academic Experts in this area to contribute to the technology and Industrial Partners who will cooperate with us to accelerate and deploy leading edge technologies, directly and expeditiously without layers of managers and integrators.
The Government effort will be overseen by NIST who will provide a minimum funding of $12.5 million dollars/per annum for five years. This will be matched by funding from Industrial Team Members and Partners. The co-investment will consist of manpower and material support in kind in collaborative projects within the FRC Domain.

The National Horse Fair (Feira Nacional do Cavalo) has been happening at Golegã for 34 years now. Since eleven years ago it is also the International Lusitano Horse Fair (Feira Internacional do Cavalo Lusitano). Golegã council, with a little more than 5,500 inhabitants, has a long tradition in horse breeding. With a privileged location near the Tagus River and the ancient Royal Road, Golegã fields are very fertile. Therefore the agriculture has always been very productive and horse breeding has been an activity associated with it.

Wonderful Portugal
No one would tell that due to a Greek poet one day we would distinguish the great wonders from the world and from Portugal. It was Antipater of Sidon who firstly referred the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. He has included places like the Great Pyramid of Giza, still standing until today and the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Based in this concept Bernard Weber, a Canadian born in Switzerland, decided to create an election for the New 7 World Wonders.

Fir and Linnet, the Eternal Flame
Chapter 1
This is about Brother Fir's secret past and about his unknown relationship with Linnet. Enjoy!
As the sun rose above the enchanted mists, old Brother Fir sipped from a goblet of sweet strawberry cordial. He looked outside the window and saw a single wasp circling his flowers in the sky. Suddenly, a rush of memories overcame his ancient mind. He closed his eyes and lost himself in his cherished past…
Fir was flying through the treetops, the wind in his fur, the sun shining through the leaves, and-
"Fir!" He turned and saw a beautiful squirrel, her fur the color of fire itself. She was standing near the top of Watchtop Hill, paws on her hips, her expression stern.
"We don't have much time! Captain Bantry will be expecting us!"
"All in good time, Linnet. Patience."
"Who can be patient with a squirrel as dense as you? I have been waiting forever while you take your time doing Heart-knows-what. It's exhausting, and I want to see the ship."
He smiled. So much had changed since he became a tower squirrel, but not her. She was still as feisty as ever. She was still his Linnet.
"But Spring is finally here! Why don't you come up and experience it for yourself? The view is amazing."
"There will be a better view on the top of the hill, if we actually get there!"
He sighed. "Linnet, the captain won't mind if we are a little late. He is probably watching the ship as well and won't miss us. Guarding can wait. Spring can't."
She stared at him for a long moment. "Let's go."
So, chapter one is completed! A little short, but they'll get longer, I promise! This is our first story, so unlike most, we accept flames (mwhaha) and will welcome any constructive critism! However, if you just want to praise it, feel free ;) Chapter 2 will be up shortly for...whomever is reading this...yeah...well, comment so we know you're there :)
p.s. recycle please! save our planet! ;)

*THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS FOR WITHER. You can read my review of Wither here. Also, I have NOT spoiled anything that happens in Fever so you can feel free to read this review without being told what happens! I plan on making a vlog to also review this book FULL of spoilers after the release date. I just have SO much to talk about.
Book/Author: Fever by Lauren DeStefano
To Be Published February 21st by Simon & Schuster
I received Fever for review from the (EVER SO AWESOME) publisher and this did not influence my thoughts or opinions.
Fever by Lauren DeStefano leaves off where Wither ends so thankfully we don't miss a moment of their story since their escape from the mansion. Naturally Rhine and Gabriel are trying to get far away from the mansions and we know that freedom and finding Rhine's brother is the end goal. And if you thought that plan sounded just peachy and easy and wonderful now that they've escaped…you were way wrong as Rhine and Gabriel encounter some obstacles and people who could prevent them from making it to Manhatten.
Fever did not disappoint…what is the opposite of disappoint? Because that's what Fever was. It did not suffer any of that 2nd book syndrome nonsense. I felt like Fever was just as strong as Wither..maybe even a little stronger of a story. There is something just truly magical about Lauren DeStefano's writing, her characters and the world in which they live…a world that I so strongly get a sense of through her perfect descriptions and the way the characters interact with the world. She just doesn't tell us about what this world is like, we see it through the way the characters move throughout the story in all the various situations they witnessed. I truly felt the despair of a world that doesn't understand why this genetic mutation is and the effects it has had on their way of life and the sense of fear it has created.
In Wither, we mostly saw the world as it was in Linden's home which really left quite a mystery as to what life was like outside of it. We got little bits and pieces through memories Rhine had about the way her and her brother needed to protect themselves. The outside world is such a contrast to living inside the mansion. While we know how horrible it was for Rhine, you began to see that maybe freedom doesn't always make you actually free. It's just a different kind of cage – one of impending and certain death and being forced to react accordingly to the way the virus has made society tick. Lauren DeStefano did a great job making you feel the contrast between Rhine's life in the mansion and Rhine's life after breaking free and makes you unsure of which one actually is better…the same struggle that starts to pulse through Rhine from time to time.
As always, Lauren DeStefano's writing is breathtaking and mesmerizes you to the point that you are SO sucked into the story that audible gasps and sighs are just something that anyone near you is just going to have to get over. As much tension and suspense as Wither has, Fever has just as much and I'd say it was even heightened. The plot is perfectly paced for me and twists at all the right places with ample surprises and breaks your heart along the way. I was ravenous in every sense of the word and finished this VERY quickly as the story just keeps getting better and better and the level of emotional investment in these characters is tenfold!
Oh and let's talk about the heart stomping number that Lauren DeStefano renders on my heart. Or we could talk about the end and how I was left with my mouth wide open and reeling from all the action that led up to it. INTENSE! I have given my heart over to these characters. I am so beyond invested now and I think Fever really developed them into even more vivid people and validated many of my thoughts about these characters. Oh and Linden. He is one of the best characters of the series in my opinion and I just loved him so much in this one. I remember going through intense hatred for him in the beginning of Wither, to feeling sorry for him, to actually liking him, and then my heart broke for him when Rhine left…and this book….oh Linden. That's all I'm going to say.
My Final Thought: Go mark it on your calendar, set an alert on your phone, add it to your Goodreads list, tattoo it on your face, etc. Do whatever you need to do to remember to go out and get this when it comes out on February 21! As a much anticipated sequel, Fever did NOT disappoint me in any way and the wait for the next is going to be agonizing. I think I experienced a full range of emotions and I am currently plotting to kidnap Lauren and will only let her go under the condition that she tells me what happens next. Lauren DeStefano is on auto-buy for sure for her beautiful writing, her ability to tell a story and the way she makes me have strong feelings towards characters. I can't wait to see the conclusion to this trilogy and see what else DeStefano writes after this!

Nice one man!
In 1986, the world's worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl power station. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicenter came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cordoned off by the military, who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within.
This is the level ported from 1935 alpha build, taken to Shadow of Chernobyl.

It contains some small spawn data, but not too much.
If you want to make anything useful from this, like making some tasks and quests, or incorporating it into some other bigger mod - do it. Just leave some credits somewhere :)
You can see a demonstration video on my profile: The Old Garbage video.
There're u3shaders included in the pack... if you don't want them, please keep in mind this map requires two of them:
So don't forget to copy them before removing u3shaders.
But if you want to use them (which is recommended), please also read the README in the shaders folder, in order to learn the recommended settings in user.ltx.
There's a patch available, which solves the crash after killing the burer. Download it here (202kB).
Nice one man!
Just downloaded it, many thanks, will give it a run through shortly, just finish current game first. Look forward to giving it a go.
Is there anything actually in in it (like AI).
As I wrote: "It contains some small spawn data, but not too much".
Read the description now! There's a patch available, which solves a crash after killing a burer!
Doesn't work. You don't even tell people which version this is supposed to run on.
Just getting crashes on loading "textures"

Writing is a part of our daily lives. Think about it.
We write things like lists, emails, cards, and directions on a pretty regular basis. We also sometimes find ourselves creating newsletters, articles, and recipe cards.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have your child practice some of those same practical writing activities? It would make writing more meaningful for him. It would also help him realize how valuable writing is.
To help you out, I created a list of practical writing activities that you can do with your child. Some are aimed at certain careers. Others just generally used by everyone. As always, choose ones that are appropriate to the age and skill level of your child.
30 Practical Writing Ideas
- A list (shopping, for a trip, things to do)
- A card (thank you, birthday, etc.)
- A memo
- A map and directions from one place to another (without the help of Google maps ;))
- A newsletter
- A calendar. These are fun to design and kids can throw things like quotes on them.
- A letter or email
- An invitation
- Rules (for the house, an activity, a game, etc.)
- A "how to" article (how to ride a bike, how to clean your room, how to be honest, etc.)
- A book or product review
- A personal blog post
- A prayer
- A description of something that happened to you
- A newspaper (could be about your homeschool and include things like editorials, want ads, funnies, etc.)
- A magazine article
- A song or chant to help you memorize something
- A recipe
- A survey
- Instructions
- A journal or diary
- A brochure
- A poster
- A crossword or word search (good for reviewing subjects like science and social studies)
- A table or chart (good for comparisons or showing data)
- A postcard
- A guide
- A mind map
- A question for a forum
- A website (see details below)
Designing a Website on Paper
As a bonus, here are the instructions for designing a website layout on paper.
First, take a 12″ x 18″ piece of white paper and lay it vertically on a table. Have your child draw a straight line across the narrow end about 2 1/2 inches from the top. This area will be for the Header. Then he should draw a line about 3/4 inch below this one. This area will be for the Navigation Bar. Next, he can draw another horizontal line about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom. This will be for the Footer. If your child wants one or two Sidebars, he can draw vertical lines about 2 inches from the side edges. Here's what goes in each area.
The Header is where the name of the website usually goes. It also includes some kind of colorful background and sometimes a logo. Let your child decide how he would like to make this.
The Footer usually has links for things such as Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, Contact, About, and Terms and Conditions. Tell him to write those words in this section. (He wants his site to be legal, right?)
The Navigation Bar (or NavBar as web designers call it) is for the main categories of the site. Visitors click on these categories to go to those pages. Let your child decide the categories that would be appropriate for his site and write them in this section with a vertical line dividing them.
If your child wants a Sidebar or two, he can put things like Cloud Tags, Ads, links to Facebook and Twitter pages, links to popular articles, a search box, etc.
The Content Area is for the articles or blog posts. Let your child fill this in with an article or post related to his site.
Last, but not least, your child can lightly shade in each section with the colors of his choice. You might want to tell him that Content Areas are usually (but not always) white for easier reading.
Ta-dah! Your child designed his own website.
Did I miss anything? Do you have any ideas for practical writing activities that I didn't think of? I would love to hear about them below.

Three Chrome Extensions You Can't Live WithoutPosted: January 1st, 2016 | Author: Michael Courtenay | Filed under: Technoid Computer News | Tags: Chrome, Chrome Extensions, Google, SPONSORED POST | Comments Off on Three Chrome Extensions You Can't Live Without
On its own, Google's Chrome is a pretty neat browser, however extensions can either increase or weigh down its potential exponentially. So, exactly what are extensions – I hear you whisper? Essentially, they're small apps that add extra – external – functionality. For Chrome, there are literally tens of thousands of available extensions, performing a huge variety of functions – everything from find shopping coupons, to extensions that make your computer run much faster. A visit to Googles Chrome Web Store Extensions page can be overwhelming, so we're going to simplify things for you, here are 3 extensions you can't – or shouldn't – live without.
For newbies to the Chrome browser, consider this your extensions starter pack. If you're a Chrome power user, you'll no doubt be familiar most or some of these, but you might learn about some you've never heard of before. Once you've tried any one of these extensions, you won't know how you ever lived without them :: Read the full article »»»»

A "3-point" turn that requires more than three points to complete due to either the road being very narrow, or the vehicle being too big.
I was driving the SUV down a narrow street and realized I was going in the wrong direction, so I did a 17 Point Turn. If I had to shift gears one more time, I think my arm would have fallen off.

Hya everyone, ok i will stop to bother you with thousands of new threads everytime i have 2 life drawing to show ... and i will have this one thread for life drawings and everyday sketches ...
the 3 first sketches are older (more than 1 week)
i am heavily trying to have a more personal approach in my drawings ... in my lines, in the general "style" even if i know that i must still learn to draw in a realistic way ...
But when i look at the 3 first drawings, i think "well thats quite boring"
i need to think more when drawing, to think about the proportions, to think about where i want the line to go, to think about what i want the drawing to tell, etc ...
thats hard !
well i only realized that after i did this life drawing last week :
it had much more life, even if the lines were maybe less accurate ... and it was more "my drawing" than anything else i had done.
well i am rambling, i guess this thread is made for that
so anyone, tell anything you want to tell, everything is good to hear.

I don't think anybody is suggesting that it should be dealt with as part of XML protocol (i.e. be defined by this WG). However, there are many reasons why people might want to provide XP modules that describe authentication etc. - to name a few: * people can obtain a much finer control within the XP message than for security outside which can only apply to the message as a whole. * people might not want to rely on mechanisms defined for specific protocol bindings * people might want to use intermediaries to perform specific tasks which then have to be described in terms of the XP envelope. I have tried to illustrate the relationship between XP and XP modules in: http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/xp-terms-01.html Henrik > Authentication, encryption, and reliable delivery are already > addressed > at the level of protocols like HTTP and SMTP; addressing them as part > of XP would seem like duplication of effort.

Statement from November 11th:
On Sunday, November 9, a band of about 30 gays stormed a church in Lansing, Michigan. Some were well dressed and were stationed inside Mount Hope Church; others were outside dressed in pink and black. The group of self-described homosexual anarchists, Bash Back!, claims the evangelical church is guilty of "transphobia and homophobia."
The protesters outside the church were beating on buckets, shouting "Jesus was a homo" on a megaphone and carrying an upside-down pink cross. Fire alarms went off inside the church, protesters stormed the pulpit and a huge rainbow-colored flag was unfurled with the inscription, "IT'S OKAY TO BE GAY! BASH BACK!" The church was vandalized, obscenities were shouted and worshippers were confronted. There were no arrests.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today:
"The real story here is the refusal of the mainstream media to cover what is surely one of the most disturbing events of 2008. If an organized group of gay bashers stormed a gay church, there is not a single sentient person in the United States who wouldn't know about it.
"This is urban fascism come to America's heartland. It must be quickly stopped before it gets out of control. We are contacting Mike Cox, the Attorney General of Michigan, calling for an investigation."
Please contact Mike Cox at firstname.lastname@example.com
Followup statement, November 12th:
Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented today on new developments surrounding the radical gays who stormed a church on Nov. 9 in Lansing, Michigan (see Catholic League news release 11-11):
"On Nov. 11, I asked Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox to launch an investigation into what happened at Mount Hope Church. We knew yesterday that a group of gay fascists stormed the church during a Sunday service. What we did not know is that this is a nationwide organization that has been planning to terrorize the church for the past month.
"The facts are not in dispute-all one has to do is tap into the website of Bash Back! There one will find that on Oct. 12 and Oct. 23, a memo was sent to members of the group to commemorate the founding of 'Michigan's newly formed chapter' asking 'Queers and Trannies' to join in storming the church. The group boasts that in 2008 there has been 'an explosion in Radical Trans/Queer organizing,' citing progress that has been made from 'Maine to the Midwest to The Bay Area.' Bash Back! was founded to fight 'State recognition in the form of oppressive institutions such as marriage and militarism'; it says both are 'steps towards heteronormative assimilation.' The radical nature of the group has led it to protest pro-gay marriage organizations like the Human Rights Campaign.
"It is important that law enforcement from all quarters address this issue. We will now contact Eaton County Sheriff Mike Raines and Eaton County Prosecutor Jeffrey L. Sauter to work cooperatively with Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox.
"A left-wing website, the Daily Kos, labeled news reports on what happened at the church 'a funny story,' and conducted a survey on the subject. Only 19 percent thought what Bash Back! did crossed the line."
Contact Sheriff Mike Raines: firstname.lastname@example.com

Customer-focused marketing content that drives businessNavigation
Marketing isn't a department charged with sending out emails, managing trade shows, designing websites, and generating sales leads. Marketing transcends departmental boundaries, driving an organization's mission, vision, and strategy. Marketing IS business. Creating customer value is the foundation of effective marketing. It involves three critical steps: Identify a customer need Develop a product or service to meet that need Consistently deliver a superior customer experience This process can't happen unless all departments, from Sales to Human Resources to Finance, work together to make the key decisions that support the organization's objectives. These decisions—such as which customers to target, which needs to satisfy, what products to offer, what prices to set, which distribution channels to use, and what promotions to send out—will determine customer value. A customer-focused marketing strategy will make the difference between success and failure. It will differentiate your organization in today's hyper-connected world. That's why marketing matters. Where to go next: Who I Am » What I Do » How I Can Help You »...Read More
Content is the foundation of your marketing strategy. Content enables you to attract, engage, and retain your customers. Online and offline, it's the tool that connects you with real people—no matter where they are in the buying cycle. Right now, potential customers are searching for information that will help them solve a problem. What happens after they find you? Do they start a conversation or move on? Your content determines the result. Content is much more than the text, images, and videos on your website. It's the driver of your social media efforts. It's your #1 sales tool. It's every communication that comes from your organization To generate action, content must be compelling and useful. It needs to answer the questions your customers are asking—or might ask in the future. In a world where most conversations start on the Web, your content is the voice and face of your company. That's why content counts. Where to go next: Who I Am » What I Do » How I Can Help You...Read More
Finding an outside writer that meets your needs can be challenging. But it doesn't have to be a huge burden—IF you know what to look for. Of course, you're looking for a talented writer, someone who creates compelling content that connects with your target audience. You're also looking for a savvy editor, someone who can transform existing content as well as spot typos and grammar errors. But you need much more than a writer and editor. You need someone who can become an extension of your team, someone who can understand your business and what you're trying to accomplish. This is why experience is everything. When you work with a writer who has real-world business experience, you can expect a number of important benefits: Expert knowledge—Already knows your industry and how to position your products and services. Minimal training—Learns quickly and dives into projects with no hand-holding. Collaboration skills—Knows how to work with a diverse team of stakeholders, from executives to technical subject matter experts. Flexibility—Responds to change requests with confidence and values feedback, positive or negative. Project management expertise—Easily manages multiple projects with sensitivity to budgets and deadlines. When you work with me, you get these same benefits from my 17+ years of first-hand experience in corporate marketing communications.
