Putting the novel on hold
Dinosaurs and text just doesn't cut it. Even when I feel I could write something far better than most furry comics.

Aww... I was really looking forward to buying a copy too. Is this just writer's block, or something more serious?ReplyDelete
I'm really sorry to hear this, Kaa. You do write AWESOME scaly stories. Sure, there are lots of mammal lovers, but there are tons of reptile lovers too.ReplyDelete
Would you consider putting what you have of the novel (at this stage) up for us to read?
Never underestimate people's appetite for quality. I, too, find most comics shallow and oversimplified. The massive audience will probably flock to those comics so they won't have to use as much of their brains to understand them, but I believe the right people will be drawn to the things that are truly good, and those are the people you should aim to impress.ReplyDelete

Although microbeads are seriously tiny they have an environmental impact that is anything but small. Typically used as exfoliating agents in cosmetics such as face washes, microbeads are microscopic particles made of plastic – and, unfortunately, plastic, no matter in how small a form, is never innocent.
You see, plastic does not biodegrade, which in the most simple terms means that it simply never goes away. Once we produce it, it stays, which gets especially alarming once we consider that, globally, we produce 300 million tons of plastic every single year. 78 percent of it does not get recycled and, in the end, around 8.8 million tons gets dumped into the oceans – where it threatens the lives of hundreds of marine animals species.
As much as microbeads may seem a very small part of that problem, we need to remember that they accumulate really easily and fast and their size, contrary to what our first impression may be, makes it all too easy for them to become a real danger. A single squeeze of face wash can contain even over 100,000 microbeads. Due to their size, microbeads can easily wash through water treatment facilities, travel to the oceans, and, finally, be ingested by marine life. Unfortunately, once that happens, these beads can clog up their intestines, or get absorbed into the tissues of their body and release toxins into their organisms.
Those pervasive little pieces of plastic have already been banned in a number of places. But now, scientists have developed an alternative to microbeads – one that is fully biodegradable and environmentally friendly!
The new microbeads are made of cellulose and could very easily replace the damaging plastic kind. They were developed by the engineers from the University of Bath's Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies. Dr. Janet Scott from the university's Department of Chemistry explains that the beads biodegrade into harmless sugars and, what is more, are created from a renewable source. Hopefully, now the environmentally damaging plastic microbeads will soon be completely replaced with the new version – one that has no way of getting into sea turtles' stomachs and under seabirds' skin!
We can all do our part to minimize the impact of plastic. To learn how you can reduce your personal use and find alternatives for things like microbeads, check out One Green Planet's #CrushPlastic campaign!

If you think you may need corrective jaw surgery, risks and rewards are naturally at the heart of your decision. And, it's an important decision! For example, corrective jaw surgery covers a range of skeletal and/or dental irregularities. These can include major misalignments of the jaw or teeth. And jaw misalignment can cause pain, or even lead to TMJ disorder. An important decision, indeed.
In addition, corrective jaw surgery can be done for cosmetic purposes. For instance, oral surgeons can correct underbites (where the upper teeth overlap the bottom teeth) or overbites (where the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth).
Of course, however important it may be, every surgery comes with potential risks. In this article we will go over what corrective jaw surgery entails. Here's what you should know if you are considering jaw surgery.
Corrective Jaw Surgery Risks and Rewards
First, What Are the Risks?
Any type of surgery comes with a list of universal risks. The "usual suspects" are blood loss or the possibility of a post-surgery infection. The risk of infection is something a good oral surgeon will always work diligently to prevent. And, they should educate you on at-home prevention. Of course, infections are best prevented by following the oral surgeon's post-op instructions and taking the full course of antibiotics.
On any list of corrective jaw surgery risks and rewards, one significant (but less common) risk is inexact bite fit. With corrective jaw surgery, there are times when a secondary surgery is required. For instance, sometimes the first surgery does not achieve the right results for the patient. These cases are rare, but worth mentioning as a risk.
And What Are the Rewards?
Many rewards can come out of corrective jaw surgery. This type of major surgery is done to fix irregularities that can affect the quality and comfort of one's life. Correcting issues such as severe underbites or overbites can assist with better chewing, eating, and even alleviate facial or jaw pain. Those who are considering orthodontic procedures like braces or invisible aligners are sometimes given an option for corrective jaw surgery prior to their orthodontic ventures.
Of all the corrective jaw surgery risks and rewards, perhaps the best reward is relief from pain. Those who suffer from TMJ disorder can attest that surgery has helped to eliminate pain and stiffness in the jaw area. In addition, many experience the return of normal jaw movement.
When considering jaw surgery, take it seriously. It's important for you to schedule a consultation with an experienced and trained oral surgeon. You will want the most careful and knowledgeable team to care for you, help you return to full health, and regain a beautiful smile. Give East Brainerd Oral Surgery a call today at 423-296-8210 to schedule an appointment.

Reviews & Complaints
After collecting the complaints and reviews from the customers, some of the reviews below are collected from different sources and forums.
"I recently
"Wasting $7,300 is a big blunder. Don't ever do it. Use another path for this. The main issues related to Rooms to go are they never give the delivery of what you purchase; they refused me my purchase of $7,300 and refused their sale, which is very dishonest. They did not cooperate with us to solve the issues with them. Now I am in search of a process to cancel my purchase but they are also refusing it too. I will never make purchases at Rooms to go in future."
"We were shifting to our new house and for
"Before Carls Patio was bought by Rooms To Go, I made a purchase of $45k. Unless I don't pay $8700 of the order to Rooms To Go, they were not scheduling my delivery. The thing is they don't trust us but we have to trust them. I got an incomplete delivery and the package was all damaged and was fixed with tapes all over the package. It was all messed up and was not as they promise it should be. They do not carry the premium lines that I bought and the top of this, their customer support service is not really helping me on this. So, I had to go where the manufacturing is done. When I asked them about this with all my aggression and what they did was they hang up on me. It was ridiculous. $7000 purchase and poor customer service."
"I bought recliners leg support that literally do not lift legs to a straight position. I told the customer service that these chairs are not manufactured properly but they keep
"I bought a bedroom set on 12/11/2020 that arrive in a delivery. The
delivery company while setting up by bed damaged by new laminate floor. I reported this to the company right away. The SE Independent Delivery Services were handling the claim to Rooms To Go. They emailed me that they would pay $150 without even asking me the
"Worst experience. I went to buy teak outdoor table and chairs from Ft Lauderdale store on Fed Highway. I was on a more than $1.000 purchase. I liked a set but it was not in stock and it would have to be shipped from Tampa. They would not sell the floor model on any condition. Later, I did not purchase as delivery options told me that It would not be suitable for the event I was hosting.
"Please make sure that Room To Go do not have return policy. If you go to the store and you see a sofa, you sit on it for a couple of minutes and feels comfortable and you purchase it. It arrives in the delivery, then you find out it's not as comfortable as it was in the store. The arms are very low and the back is not comfortable at all. You call the customer service and they say they will send a person to check and take a look at the sofa."

Four years ago, Brooklyn-based startup BotFactory successfully crowdfunded its desktop PCB factory, the interestingly named Squink, that lets users 3D print working circuit boards with conductive inks, and even fabricate circuit traces on a variety of substrate materials. After getting a little help from the Shapeways 3D printing service in developing its 3D printed toolhead, the startup closed a $1 million seed round of financing in 2016 – on the second anniversary of its $100,000 Kickstarter campaign, no less.
This financing, at least in part, went to helping BotFactory develop its second PCB 3D printer, the SV2, which offers finer tolerance, higher speeds, and a larger build area than the Squink.
Some companies, like BotFactory, like to put their new 3D printers to the test with interesting projects. The startup decided to use its latest PCB 3D printer to create edge connectors, which are, as BotFactory wrote in a blog post, "a cheap and simple way to avoid using standard connectors and having to open and plate holes, or to use SMT connectors."
An edge connector, for the uninitiated, is the part of a PCB that consists of traces that lead to the board's edge and will be plugged into a matching socket. They come in a varied selection, and usually need a specialized female connector. A PCI is a type of connector typically used inside desktop computers as motherboard expansion slots.
According to the blog post, "The goal here was to create a simple connector that we could plug in and remove very quickly into an ordinary USB A-plug, repeating up to 1000 times or until failure."
Since no one in the office had an actual desktop computer, the project participants decided to start 3D printing edge connectors that would work with a USB. The goal wasn't to maintain data fidelity after a large number of cycles, but rather to see how long it would last being plugged in and out. Several people predicted it wouldn't even hang on for more than 50 cycles before failing.
First, they created a simple design for a set of USB 'keys,' using the EDA system Upverter, that included a resistor and a 1206-sized LED, which was very easy to pick and place.
"We thought about designing something complex, but the real goal was to determine if there would be any immediate risk of failure," they noted.
Once the Gerber files for the USB key design had been uploaded into the SV2, it took less than five minutes to 3D print them, and about the same amount of time to cure them. BotFactory believes the whole process, starting with the design and including set-up and using PCB shears to cut out the boards, only took 15 minutes, as they noted:
"One of the big advantages of SV2 is our new heatbed/fan setup, which allows for extremely rapid heat-up and cool-down cycling. For Squink users, you might feel envious – we love it. It makes prototyping a whole lot faster!"
But the team's favorite feature of the SV2 is its new one-part epoxy, which is just as strong as a two-part but dispenses much finer and cures rapidly.
Since no one wanted to volunteer their own computer for testing purposes, the USB key was plugged into a spare power adapter, and immediately worked. The key was rapidly plugged in, then removed, over and over again over a few minutes, and the team marked it down every 50 counts. The results were surprising – the durable USB pads still hadn't broken after 500 cycles.
"By the time 1000 cycles hit, we weren't even mad," the blog details. "A 1000 cycles is better than daily use over a year – excellent results for prototyping devices that might be used in the field or in a customer's hands for a short period of time."
According to GCT, most USB connectors go through anywhere from 1,500 to 10,000 mating cycles, so 1,000 was a pretty "respectable" amount. However, while the part was fully operational, a closer look showed that the USB connection was pretty battered.
"Using USB connectors in your day-to-day prototyping is a really simple way to get a 5V source without any complicated connectors or wasted space and time," they said.
BotFactory admits that it didn't go too deep into designing USBs for data transfer for this durability experiment. But if anyone else wants to have a go, you can contact the startup for details on how to get access to its design files.

Last month I had nine hours on my own in the center of Stockholm whilst all my friends were working. Yes, I had to wander a new city alone. Some people thrive on this sort of thing adventure but I'm more of Shire hobbit than a Bilbo Baggins. There was the temptation to sit in a 7/11 and embark on an all day ficka binge. It was very much a possibility if I was willing to pay for nine hours worth of coffee and cake. However, I intended to do my visit on a budget and set out to find moderately interesting things to do for free. Here's what I got up to:
National Library
This was the first place I headed on my exploration day. Largely it was a massive disappointment. I expected an ornate building crammed with books; I'd wander through the stacks and shelves for hours, absorbing smells. A mysterious cover would draw me in, settle me into a quiet corner and by some mystery, only known to the universe, I would be able to read Swedish with ease. This didn't happen. Mostly because the National Library is a research library as opposed to a fantasy realm. I walked in, felt embarrassed about my confusion and read for forty minuets to save-face before leaving. However, whilst I wouldn't recommend the National Library's interior the exterior is worth a look. The building is the size of a stately home and beautiful to look at. It's also located in a park that's equally picturesque on a pleasant day. Judge this place by its cover and don't delve into the contents of the building then it's a lovely place to spend a few hours.
I'm still not 100% certain on the purpose of this building. From the outside its five floors and name in giant letters, tempts or intimidates passers by. Kultur seemed close to the English word culture and people interested in that tend to be occasionally pretentious and have hot drinks. It sounded like my kind of crowd, so I headed in. Downstairs is a cinema (I wasn't willing to pay for a film that may not have subtitles), there's also two cafes, a book shop and three galleries. I went to the galleries because they were free if you are under 25. At the time one of the exhibits was shut but the National Design presentation and a fashion gallery were open. Normally, I'm not drawn to these kinds of displays but I headed in anyway. The clothing exhibit was clothing and as always it will remain a mystery to me. A few pieces stuck out but for the most part I struggled to reconcile how designers match what they want to create with profitable clothes. However, one display stuck in my head that I'd like to mention, Human by Linea Matei. The exhibit focused on cartoon depictions of humans which were used as prints onto pajamas. I'm not sure why I liked Human the most but I'm glad I saw it.
The National Design Exhibit was a much more grotesque affair. It was more memorable because of the visceral motif: the body. With interactive machines that measure your pulse, glass cases with breathing faux lungs and cubes of what looked human meat, the exhibit left me slightly nauseous but impressed with the numerous ways human matter can be interpreted.
Old Town
This was actually the first place I went to in the day. Unfortunately, most exhibits don't open until 11am, so I left for the national library and returned later. There are many many things to do here: The Royal Palace and armory; the Nobel laureate museum and several other museums; or just wandering around the buildings and admire how it's like walking through Balmory. Looking for free things I went to the Royal Armory, the parts of the palace that don't charge and the economy museum. All three are brilliant. The armory was my favorite with basement carriages and royal sledges. The main exhibit displays Swedish military weapons and armor alongside the history of the royal family and the wars the now neutral nation engaged in. The free palace sections are filled with stunning carvings and paintings. Walking through inspires wonder at the fading masonry skills in stone the world is slowly losing. Finally, the economy museum is filled with old coins throughout the world and serves as a reminder that trade has unified the planet longer than any other cohesive method. I didn't get to view all the economy museum because it was time to return for supper but I shall wander it more completely next time.

BENDIS Swooping In for BYRNE-esque Takeover for DC's SUPERMAN Titles
Newly-exclusive DC Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis is taking over the reigns of both Action Comics and Superman in July, according to new interview with Forbes, with a six-issue weekly series titled Man of Steel leading the way. Bendis, who comes to DC after a 17-year exclusive stint at Marvel Comics, returns to DC with a multi-year, multi-faceted deal that begins with a short inside April's Action Comics #1000. This Superman line takeover evokes the very similiar way writer/artist John Byrne was brought into DC following Crisis on Infinite Earths to reinvent Superman in in the mid-80s.
See Also: BENDIS' Creator-Owned Titles Jump From MARVEL's Icon to New DC Imprint
In a newly-announced DC Nation #0 preview sampler coming out May 2 (three days before Free Comic Book Day), Bendis teams with Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez on a Man of Steel prelude which will lead into the six-part Man of Steel weekly to begin May 30. In that series, Bendis collaborates with Ivan Reis, Evan "Doc" Shaner, Ryan Sook, Kevin Maguire, Adam Hughes, and Jason Fabok that will "shake up the classic story of Krypton's final days and Kal-El's path to becoming an iconic hero." Bendis will introduce a new villain that holds a "terrifying secret" about Krypton's desctruction.
After Man of Steel #6 planned release on the week of July 4, Bendis will segue with Reis to take over a relaunched-and-renumbered Superman #1.
Then later that month, Bendis will work with Superman alum Patrick Gleason on Action Comics #1001 beginning on July 25 - back from a planned three-month hiatus for the book following April's Action Comics #1000. Bendis and Gleason's story here will focus more on Clark Kent and the activities at The Daily Planet, dealing with "how the actions of Superman impact the DC Universe."
See Also: BENDIS Launching YOUNG ANIMAL Style 'Pop-Up' Imprint Through DC
"I have a lot of goals for Superman, one of which is to help turn Metropolis into something as provocative and unique as Gotham City is," Bendis explained. "I think everyone will agree Gotham is one of the most built and best places in all of fictional cities, and Metropolis should follow suit. So Action Comics and DC Nation will be the first hints at how we're going to be building up Metropolis. Both in people and in culture, it'll be more than just the place Superman lives. We'll be taking a good look at a lot of place we haven't looked at before."
This Superman line takeover line is part of a three-pronged Bendis initiative by DC, which also includes the creation of a formal Jinxworld imprint for Bendis' various creator-owned books, as well as a second "Custom" imprint to work akin to Gerard Way's Young Animal.

Michelle Boorstein
The Washington Post loves to present President Trump as boisterously snide...and quite obviously, they can't imagine anyone would apply that description to them. On Wednesday night, the Post website was boasting at least three articles ripping into Trump's behavior at the funeral, or his bad optics. This isn't a "newspaper." It's an Insult Aggregator.
The Washington Post followed the example of The New York Times with a Thursday article that played up the role of conservative Catholics in the release of a former Vatican diplomat's recent "testimony" against Pope Francis. Michelle Boorstein emphasized that "conservative Catholic media outlets have become power players by conveying the anti-Francis point of view." She also zeroed in on the role of "powerful Italian conservatives" in breaking the story.
The Washington Post demonstrated its tendency to act as Democratic advertising in an article headlined "'A Pope Francis Catholic': Now that Tim Kaine is Clinton's VP pick, will his faith matter?" How can a legislator with a 100-percent score with abortion advocates and LGBT czars be a "Pope Francis Catholic"? He's as Catholic as the Pope? The Post needs to put its "Fact Checker" on this for a Pinocchio score.
Writing on A6 of Tuesday's Washington Post, religion writer Michelle Boorstein opined that conservative, evangelical voters will have quite the dilemma on their hands this November as they will have to decide whether abortion or racism "is a worse sin" in choosing Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.
When The Washington Post took up publicizing a priest coming out of the closet as gay – in Chicago – it strangely put it on the front of the Metro section on Monday. You can be sure someone wanted that on the front of the whole paper.
The headline was a quote: "I'm gay and I'm a priest, period." The subhead was "Catholic clergy grapple with whether to come out in the Pope Francis era. The Post viewpoint was clearer from the headline on B-6, the back of the Metro section: "The Catholic priesthood one of the last remaining closets."
Very liberal "Very Rev." Gary Hall is stepping down at the end of the year as dean of the Washington National Cathedral, reported Washington Post religion reporter Michelle Boorstein. "Vocal cathedral dean stepping down" was the headline in Wednesday's paper.
Boorstein began by calling Hall a "fierce progressive" – which made the Episcopal leader a Washington Post and NPR darling. But the paper was much slower to consider the notion that being harshly liberal might be driving donors and believers away from the church. Mainline Protestantism is shrinking. Might it be its increasing disdain for the Bible?
While Chris Cuomo worried out loud on Friday about The New York Times questioning an excessive focus on the religion inspiring ISIS when they resort to rape, the same concern about stereotypes didn't come up pseudo-Catholic Cuomo for the Catholic-bashing front of The Washington Post. In "Pope urged to address clergy sex abuse in visit," religion correspondent Michelle Boorstein repeats the never-ending stream of allegations that the Vatican has never done enough to appease critics and accusers and their trial lawyers on commission.
It's quite a contrast with the Post's Weekend section, where film critic Ann Hornaday is praising the new movie Diary of a Teenage Girl (four stars out of four stars!), where a 15-year-old girl is seduced by a 35-year-old "man-child" who's dating her mother. Online the headline called it "funny, forthright, and daringly frank." Since there's no organized global religion involved, the child abuser "isn't so much the villain of this piece as one more misguided seeker whom [filmmaker Marielle] Heller treats with more amused compassion than disdain."
Liberal media outlets have attacked Pope Francis for being "tone-deaf" when they disagreed with his views, but now that he's hawking climate alarmism they've begun fawning.
The Washington Post front-page praised the Pope on June 15, and suggested he could impact environmental policy through his "highly anticipated" letter to Catholic bishops about global warming, called an encyclical.The story, co-written by Michelle Boorstein, Anthony Faiola and Chris Mooney, spoke positively of his "enormous popularity."
Washington Post religion reporter Michelle Boorstein relayed on Saturday that Reform Judaism is revising their prayer book, and there are some doozy additions. They are the "vanguard" of American religion. The Post pulled out this shocker: "My LORD is not a shepherd and I am not his sheep, No monarch greedy for my praise is worthy of my prayers."
One Post headline was "Avant-gardism for Reform Judaism." Another headline could be "Religion evolves into rejecting God as....important, or special."
On December 28 and 29, The Washington Post highlighted a tiny rally of leftists opposing the name of the Washington Redskins – on the front page of the Metro section twice – both before and after the march, which turned out only about 100 activists.
On Friday, after the March for Life brought tens of thousands of pro-life activists to Capitol Hill, the Post buried it on A-6. The headline skipped the "life" part. It was "Abortion opponents sense attitude shift: Speakers at Mall rally say nation's views are aligning with theirs." The story had a small color photo with equal numbers of pro-lifers and abortion advocates facing off in front of the Supreme Court.
The meeting next week between President Obama and Pope Francis is a meeting of a moderate and a leftist, reports The Washington Post. Obama's the moderate. But it has "huge potential" for "two world figures" to forge a mind-meld on "social justice."
Washington Post religion reporter Michelle Boorstein's article is transparently, thoroughly a press release on Obama's behalf. All of its sources, on the record and off, are liberal Obama aides and sympathizers. "Some said the trip would be only positive for Obama for several reasons," and then Boorstein lists them. No tough words on abortion, marriage, or Obama mandating that Catholics pay for contraception? "Most Vatican-watchers" guess it will never come up:
On Friday, the Washington Post predictably depicted a Catholic hospital chaplain as the aggressor, after the priest denied an ailing, openly-homosexual patient Communion and the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. The liberal newspaper's Metro-section report on the controversy came less than a week after the section's former editor blasted a Virginia Catholic priest for dissolving his parish's Boy Scout troop over their new pro-LGBT membership policy.
Reporter Michelle Boorstein picked up on the scoop from "America's Leading Gay News Source," the Washington Blade, and hyped how "a Catholic chaplain at MedStar Washington Hospital Center stopped delivering a 63-year-old heart attack patient Communion prayers and last rites after the man said he was gay, the patient said Wednesday, describing a dramatic bedside scene starting with him citing Pope Francis and ending with him swearing at the cleric."

Caput tertium: Resources
Salve Internet,
I am Carmine Siena from Corvo Bianco Entertainment. Welcome back to the devlog series regarding the development of Villanus: Imperium Romanum. I am glad to be back and open the third chapter together with you!
The last time, I told you about the society in Villanus and different social classes which can inhabit your city. With this overview, I also gave you the info that the resources you can produce are contingent upon these classes. Climbing up the social ladder will grant you access to new production chains. These production chains will then produce new goods which satisfy the needs of your citizens. Today, we will look more deeply into the goods or resources, however you like to name them.
All the resources are sub-divided into four groups: basic resources, food production resources, materials and luxury goods. Let us have a closer look into these four groups. As you might derive from the name, the basic resources are the very core of every city. These are food (an essential good which your citizens demand in every social class) and the four building resources tools, timber, stone and marble. Whenever you start a new endless game, you will be having at least some food, tools and timber, to start building. To be able to produce stone and marble, you need to have citizens of other social classes first. You will be also able to change the amount of these starting resources when configuring the properties of a new endless game.
The food production resources are just intermediate goods which will be created along the different food production chains. They will not be demanded by citizens, but by the processing buildings. Let me give you a classic strategy game example for this. Suppose you want to have a more efficient food production. You might want to change from fishing or hunting to producing bread. To produce bread, you need three different production buildings: a corn farm with corn fields which produces corn, a flour mill which creates flour from corn and lastly, a baker who produces bread from flour. In Villanus, corn and flour will be these intermediate food production resources. They are only needed to be further processed.
The group of materials is also a rather big one. Materials are all the intermediate goods which will be created along the production chains for either the four building resources or all the luxury goods. Since I want Villanus to have a nice level of complexity, you will be able to build a lot of different production chains, giving you various materials as their output. There will also be production chains where you might need to change the focus of an existing production building. Let me, once more, give you an example. In ancient Rome, a beekeeper was a very important producer. This can also be seen in Villanus: a beekeeper obviously produces honey by harvesting it from beehives which is demanded as a luxury good by your plebs. Later on, your knights also demand candles as a luxury good. For candles you need beeswax, so you have to change the production of your beekeepers from honey to beeswax while simultaneously making sure that the flow of honey – which is still demanded – does not run dry.
Lastly, the luxury goods are the key resources in Villanus. As I already told you, all of your citizens in all of the different social classes demand luxury goods. The higher the social class, the more complex to produce are these goods. Some production chains are interlinked, using the same materials, but giving different outputs. There will also be some luxury goods which you can only produce by getting raw materials via trading, because your territory cannot produce it. These luxury goods were actually all produced and demanded in the ancient Rome. Whenever possible, I try to comply with historical facts.
Once more, I have to refer to the game being in a state where screenshots or videos do not yet make any sense. Nevertheless, I drafted the icons of the resources some days ago and I would like to show them to you. Our patrons already saw these, since they are always the first to get some "insider knowledge". Keep in mind that they are the first rough draft and might change during the development.
So, this is all the important information regarding resources or goods in Villanus. What do you think? Are there any adjustments which you would prefer? Make sure to leave a comment in the comment box below! And as always, feel free contact me in case you have any question. Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter – both, Villanus: Imperium Romanum and Corvo Bianco Entertainment are on these channels.
If you want to support the development of this amazing project, head over to our Patreon page and become a patron. I am very grateful for each and every one of you aiming to help me realising this game. And don't worry: you'll get some pretty cool benefits for pledging!
I am looking forward to hearing from you guys! 'Til then: happy gaming and "in vino veritas".

Words of Wisdom and Inspiration for the Aspiring Entrepreneur from Frank Covich, Founder of the National Association of Independent Business Brokers (NAIBB)
by Frank Covich
If you're in new business start-up mode, my message this week is for you and it concerns marketing. One of the smartest things you can do early on is to focus on identifying possible referrals, other people who are willing and able to refer a client or customer to you.
Keep in mind, people like to refer someone they know to someone else, especially if the person or organization they are referring does good work and can provide a much-needed service or product. Back in the day, everyone had their favorite car salesman. I had a relative who lived in Chicago and was the top Chevy salesman in the U.S. for many years. Ken's talent for leveraging his client relationships to bring in other customers was truly amazing.
Thankfully, not much has changed in this world where that is concerned. We all have or are looking for someone in our lives that we know we can count on when buying that certain something or getting something done just the way we like it. Think about your accountant, your auto repair shop, your hairdresser or your pet boarding kennel to name just a few. People still want and need to feel that sense of trustworthiness and connection. So give some serious thought to who would be most likely to bring you a client or customer and why. It will pay off.
Here's an example…
In my program, BeBizBroker, I coach my clients to start their marketing campaigns by approaching accounting professionals, especially around that time of year when every accountant is already talking to every business owner they serve, i.e. tax season. Tax time is when the issue of selling a business is most likely to come up. An accountant with a "when it's time to sell your business" brochure in hand can become the best and most effective lead source you will ever have as a business broker.
Another idea…
Get used to the term barter. In exchange for your accounting friends sending you a hot lead, you can offer to send clients to them. The key is to think about who the target is for your products and services, and then to think about who might send someone to you, regardless of what business you happen to be in.
As for other mass marketing techniques for you to consider, here's an example to get you thinking, and it focuses on mattress cleaning…
Otto the Orkin man used to walk up and down the streets with a jar of bugs that were most commonly found in homes, and he'd ask people, "Have you seen these in your house?" Many had. He'd tell them he could get rid of them, especially if they were in their mattresses. That one simple exercise is what allowed him to build the Orkin empire. Clearly, thousands of motels and millions of homes needed his services, and he mastered the art of actually showing them how and why.
You need to work on actively marketing your business to clubs and other organizations with your brochures and by making demonstrations however and whenever you can. It's important to think about how you can articulate the benefits of whatever product or service you provide in concrete ways that save people time and/or money.
The bottom line is that by focusing on referrals and getting outside of the box to employ creative mass marketing strategies, your startup is bound to succeed.
Just remember, be like Otto. Get creative. Marketing can and should be fun!
All the best,
Frank Covich

What Affects Forex?
Great strategies and skills are needed if you want to profit from Forex.
Forex trading might be the most clear and visible form of trading there is but it is also a volatile market. The truth is, many people are earning little amount of profit from trading while there are few who are successful with it.
The ever changing characteristics of forex trading makes trading business more exciting and possibly profitable, however, making fast money is not as easy as before.
Forex is simply a form of exchanging money, this involves two different currencies from two different countries. Exchange rate is the biggest market in the world, and the amount being exchange has reached almost $2 trillion every day.
Forex trading became popular since the 1990s up to present. It became immensely popular because trading can be done on the Internet even while at home and it is accessible 24 hours a day for 5 days. Among the most commonly traded currencies there are the U.S. Dollar, British pound and Japanese yen that is most widely used.
Trading are done in pairs. The demand depends on the country's higher interest rate.
Currency trading is a big kind of business. Traders will identify how much they are willing to risk and if they are able to do this risk, and after that they can trade in the Forex market.
Forex is a fast paced trading business, since the 1990s is it believed to be reaching it's peak. The question is why? In other ways forex trading is simple although a lot of people who get into the market do not earn money. The idea that you can earn quick cash is not as simple as it sounds.
In addition, since traditional stocks are supported on the company's merchandise and material assets, forex exchange is not absolute. And also, control of the government or the effort to control currencies to attain political aims are changeable.
Unexpected events, like natural disaster can change the value of a currency; this can cause difficulty to gauge on currency's future value.
In time, the global marketplace is changing its currency from one country like Euro.
Nevertheless, this does not mean that businessmen cannot profit in the market's currency. Even so, as the international marketplace continue to expand and the global politics involve currencies; it is more tight to determine the currency's value.
We can truly say that profiting money in Forex Trading market is accomplishable, but it is not plain to achieve it. Even the economist have a difficult time conniving the currencies' future and buying its power, so the trader must uphold complete research, name trends, and as much as possible try to attain the best guess there could be.

Emotional Shifts
14th February 2012
Thank you for connecting with these words today. I trust you receive something useful to reflect on that is right for you. If you are struggling right now, please take some comfort from these words.
The energy over these past weeks has been waving in and out, but I feel for many of us we have been in the slow moving and feeling flat phase. During this phase it is beneficial to step into the flow and feeling of your body, while doing your best not to be at conflict with the energy. Many subtle or behind the scenes energies are lining things up for us as individuals and as a collective consciousness – so times of integration and anchoring (aka: slow moving times) are needed.
There is a strong emotional energy present at the moment - I can feel it in the air! I feel a WAVE of emotional / creative shift occurring for many, and this emotional shift may be difficult for many to move through - as often emotional stuff is.
This WAVE of emotion will bring forward a dramatic shift to the emotional well-being of the collective masses. This has to do with many things, however I am feeling that with the recent passing of Witney that many have gone into grieving, and when we have masses going into grieving like this, it brings through a huge emotional shift. We see this when there is an outpouring of emotion from the public. You may not even be affected by this star's transition into spirit; however we are ALL tapped into the collective consciousness, so on some level most people will feel this WAVE of emotion.
I feel that this is a combined WAVE of emotion and WAVE of creativity - as both energies hold at quite similar vibrations. So you may find that you have a surge or dive in your creative motivation, or you may find yourself swinging emotionally at the present time. You are not alone with these sensations.
My first guidance for today is to ALLOW yourself to feel. I know I say this all the time, but I see so many people still conflicting with their emotions and either rejecting them, ignoring them or pushing them aside. Our emotions are KEYS that help highlight areas of imbalance in our life / body etc. We ARE feelers, we ARE human, and I feel that our emotions deserve to be listened to, as they will help us.
'My emotions are powerful tools that are on my side.' ~ Lee-Anne
The other important information that needs to be shared is the 'drama' of situations / people that can pull us in. It's like a hurricane; representing a 'storm' - an emotional storm, and through this card we are guided to do out best to hold our CENTRE, and remain as aligned as possible within the eye (I) of the storm. It's within this eye where we stay centred and balanced; it is within this eye where we truly feel our emotions as clearly as possible. When we are caught in the dramas occurring externally from us, it can often stir up or overwhelm us with emotion mixed with worry / stress in the mind. It can also drain us physically as we look for ways to fix situations or to sort things out that we will never find in this chaos. It's when we are within the eye (I AM) that we find the answers, clues and solutions.
Be aware if you are being CAUGHT in an external drama... and do everything you can to move back into your space of alignment within the eye of the storm, within your I AM, or your heart (all the same place).
If you have been feeling surges of emotion, you may also feel surges of creativity too – and if you do so, then trust your motivational pull. You don't have to paint a masterpiece to express yourself creatively. By simply doing something that you are comfortable with like: cooking, craftwork, dancing, colouring, gardening, designing etc... stir those creative juices and allow these new energies to settle into their place within your body.
In Wholeness and Harmony,
Lee-Anne Peters
