The published electronic circuit layout
on this page is based on an enhanced development of Dietrichs idea done by Joerg and Wolfgang Vehlow. In the context of motorbike riders for motorbike riders - this idea can be copied,
reproduced and improved at any time for private reasons. Industrial production is only allowed with the agreement of the developer. Please find the story of Wolfgang Vehlow below.
Hello Dietrich, in 2001 I have enhanced
the digital gear display, based on your original design (built with CMOS and printed pcb). Now my son and I have built the whole design based on a PIC (programmed interrupt Controller). The whole circuit
consists now only of an IC a few diodes and a few resistors. It is now very easy to build it.
As sensors we have used unipolar
hall-sensors. The whole design was focussed on using less mechanical parts and can be completely molded into epoxy. The program design of the PIC was structured that way, that you may use now displays
with common anode, cathode or even LCD displays. The layout can be setup for motorbikes with 5- and 6-gear gear boxes.
I have tested the whole design during
our vacation trip over 3000 km and it works without any problems. Since we also live the spirit from motorbike riders, for motorbike riders everybody on the web should be allowed to build and use
that design for private purposes. This web page may also be linked. I would be pleased, if many users would install this useful device on their motorbikes. The only prerequisite is, that nobody makes
profit out of it and that you label my copyright. If someone needs a pre-programmed PIC, he can get in contact with me and Ill send one back based on a small fee and a voluntary donation.
The digital design
Im absolutely no friend of TTL
technology and a mechanical solution was not an option. Therefore Ive had to look for something that works without mechanics or contacts. During my research I found the hall sensor TLE4905L. These
sensors toggle already on a very low magnetic field and switch pin 3 to ground. Pin 1 should be connected to power supply that ranges from 3.8 - 24V. Pin 2 is ground. I have installed the hall sensors in
empty relay housings and molded it with epoxy.
This first kit Ive had in my motorbike
for nearly 1.5 years. Everything worked perfect. But since the LED display was hard to see in very bright sunshine I decided to rebuilt the whole kit and change to a LCD display solution. Instead of a
complete circuit redesign, we changed to the PIC layout. The advantages from that solution have been explained already above. The prototype was tested extensively during several motorbike trips in South
Tyrol. Since the test was successful, we would now like to share that project with other motorbike riders.
The listing is not published as a text
file, but as an ASM file. That has the advantage, that the people that do PIC programming, can use this file directly for programming. The listing is the file gear shift v.1.2.301103.asm. The file
can be read with a text editor. We recommend to buy the parts you require to build that unit from www.reichelt.de, since it turned out that Reichelt offered for
all parts the best price.

Now to PIC programming. I still believe
in the motorbike riders community. If someone requires a programmed PIC, he can get it from me at cost. You can transfer the money after receipt of the PIC. That would be then a so called hardware -
shareware - project. Nobody should start to built that unit who is not well trained in building electronic equipment. I definitely will not offer support to neophytes that try to build that unit without
the required background. If however someone has a real problem and has the background in building assets like that, I will have no problem to deliver support by just billing the amount of time used.
For the publishing on this website, I
have drawn a printed circuit board layout, which you can download with the file board pic.pdf. I own the file PIC.lay, which allows mass-production at a professional pcb factor. If you want to produce
your pcb by yourself, just contact me and I will supply the file, which you then can have produced at /www.gsel.com. To my understanding the cheapes solution..
So I hope that I have now made you nervous for a new thrilling project for your motorbike and wish you all the best

Having spent the last year trying to incorporate a service similar to Netflix and LOVEFiLM, Microsoft's own subscription based service would have allowed users to fork out a monthly fee for a package of programmes as an alternative to other Live TV and On Demand Services.
People "in the know" confirmed that Microsoft had demoed a service that included a range of advanced features such as being able to change channels with voice and motion control.
A Senior Media Executive who had been involved in the talks quoted:
"They built Microsoft TV, they demoed it for us, they asked for rate cards but then said 'ooh ah, that's expensive,'".
It's also reported that Microsoft had been in intense talks with potential programming partners and was hoping to roll out the service for early 2012, but cancelled all their plans after deciding that the licensing costs were too high. Microsoft is still said to be working closely within the TV business to distribute shows over the internet, but now soley focusing on delivering programming via the Xbox console with partnered App's services.

Entercession this week
,AS many know, Cathy is home, and I am embedded in a sensitive nation. I prepared E-ntercession before leaving the USA and scheduled it to be posted this morning. I wanted a reminder, "Please be careful not to share or post ANY overtly Chr*st*an material or anything political on my face-book page, e-mail, Whats app, messenger or social media applications. Your cooperation is essential. The instruction from our host was clear, "Careless posts put workers a risk, can cost lives."
I absolutely had to tell you about the amazing time we had at ALL IN, the
New York Adult & Teen Challenge Spiritual Emphasis
ALL IN: Camp Champion,
As it has for decades-since TC first moved TC Students and Family ministry into Camp Champion, the cascading hillsides of the Catskill Mountains resounded with praise, as students of the New York Adult & Teen Challenge gathered for "ALL IN." What an amazing week of prayer and worship with Rev. Don Wilkerson, Jimmy Jack, Bill Kirk, Willie Ramos. and so many others. We were blessed to lead worship with TC and Will & Mary Kitchen.
Gospel Tabernacle
at 75 years
What an honor to be invited to minister
the word at GT, the church pastored by David Wilkerson's in 1958, as they celebrated their 75 th Anniversary.
It was great to see dear friends Denny and Vonnie and meet Pastor Dan Wilkens. What an honor to hug Sister Smith, a delightful lady who put the first 25 cents in that offering plate in 1958. She is now 88. I looked at her and smiled.
"Look what you started!" I said.
Tears filled her eyes as we hugged.
Some shared about Brother Dave, some about Brother Don Wilkerson who visited there summers and holidays between Bible School and TC work.
To one man, God said, "Stop watching so much TV and pray. It was one man, Brother Dave, with the courage to say, "Yes," when God called. Then, tiny church with a big heart to say, "Yes, go help those boys."
It was Dave's brother Don Wilkerson who came alongside to Pastor the addicts and build a program of discipleship, with thousands of nameless faceless workers who have faithfully served that vision worldwide.
I ask myself every day,the question, "What would you be willing to surrender to God to launch a ministry that would change the world?"
It takes just one. Say ,"Yes."
7 "Only be strong and very courageous;
be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go.
Joshua 1:7 NASB
God gave Joshua an amazing promise of success. For many in my country, "success" is the American dream. Unfortunately the way we define success is a most important question. A flawed definition will lead to an endless hamster wheel of human effort and aimless striving which leaves us frustrated, disappointed and empty.
Our culture and a great deal of what masquerades as Christian theology on TV promises microwave miracles, rapid rewards, and instant gratification. We must understand God has called us not to ease, but a marathon. What God is doing in you is far more important than what happens to you! If your life doesn't look like what God promised you, be patient, God is not done yet!
If your life does not look like what God promised, be patient, He is not done yet
Real success is not measured in finances, reputation or your social media footprint. #RockinIT #AtTheGymGettinALLswoll #BestVERSIONofME #CheckMEout
SUCCESS is being strong and courageous to walk IN consistent obedience to the voice of God no matter what the culture says. The list of things you can use to measure success
is almost as endless as that website search on success. What a shame that so many people
spend their lives pursuing the wrong things.
So, how does God define success? His measure is very different from the
world's, and it can be summed up in 4 words. In God's eyes it is "
faithfulness to His call."
In John 4, THe Lord is ministering to a Samaritan woman, ostracized and a social outcast. When the disciples come to him, seeing the locals were scandalized that he would speak to such a woman, his disciples urged him to eat. (They had seen a Snickers commercial, "You're not yourself when you are hungry).
31) Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
32) But He said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."
33) So the disciples were saying to one another, "No one brought Him anything to eat, did he? "John 4:31-33
I can hear it, "Yo, Who went to Chipotle without tellin us?"
John says, "Was it burger King, no He is the real King."
Peter says, "Did he have a snickers, yet? "
-- BUT The Lord interrupts them to bring all of life and illusions about success into focus with one sentence,
He said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. John 4:34
What is your food? In the King James Bible, the word "leader" is mentioned 6 times, but "servant" is mentioned 900 times. "Why are there so many leadership conferences not serving conferences?" The word "success " is mentioned only 6 times in the Bible yet "service, servant or serving" is mentioned 1368 times. I am convinced there is a pattern there. If we focused more on serving and less on leading or our success … We could find the peace that comes from knowing the security of His love and calling, not trusting social media or the shifting tides of culture to define us..
What is your definition of success?
Is it the same as God's?
Are you
pursuing "IT," Or are you following HIM?
2018 has been a year of miracles.
You could not be with us in the Syrian Refugee Camps of the Rebeka Valley, Malawi, Rwanda, South Africa or the United Kingdom-but you were with us in prayer, partnership and giving.
Thank you for standing with us, praying for us and as the Lord leads, partnering with us through your gifts.

1) INDONESIA: Tsunami
Please pray that God will comfort them in their suffering, give strength to first responders, workers, and volunteers, and draw many people to His Love. May the tsunami of devastation be overwhelmed by a tsunami of LOVE.
Desperation is growing in the stricken Indonesian city of Palu as residents faced a fifth day with little food or clean drinking water and the official death toll mounted in the wake of Friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami.
The number of people killed rose to 1,234 on Tuesday, including Monday's grim discovery of 34 bodies, mostly children, in a church recreation hall in Sigi Biromaru south of Palu.
2) SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS New York Adult and Teen Challenge
Please pray as the students head back -- after such a powerful week of ministry, now comes the most significant part of the proceeds, that God will give them "life application" as they return to their centers in Brooklyn, Long Island, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo, New York! You are part of the miracle.

Jo and I take great care in making a great cup of tea. It's a relaxing activity, that allows you to stop for 15 minutes in the middle of your day and refocus the mind. It becomes ritual in the morning, like brushing your teeth. It can even be a zen exercise (if you're so inclined). There's is nothing more annoying than when someone makes a cup of tea and leaves the bag in the cup while they proceed to drink the tea. Now, I would always advise against sipping before the tea is done steeping. And if proper tea is to be made, the bag must be removed once it's DONE steeping. The only thing you get from leaving your bag in the cup is a bad cup of tea! It becomes bitter and horrible. Here's where I want to discuss the SOP for making proper tea.
Hot tea: If you have to use tea bags, that's fine. But I urge you to give loose leaves a try. You can buy tea sacs and reusable tea bags if you don't want the leaves to swirl freely, or if you don't have access to a tea strainer.
Step 1: Boil freshly drawn water in a kettle on the stove (or if need be, an electric kettle). Do not microwave water in order to make a cup of tea! It won't be good, and you'd be better off without it!
Step 2: If you are using a tea pot, it must be warmed prior to being exposed to boiling water. Fill the tea pot with warm water and let sit while water is boiling on the stove.
Step 3: Empty tea pot. Add 1 tsp tea leaves to pot or cup (or sac/bag) per 6 oz of water. Pour boiling water OVER tea bags, loose tea, or tea sac.
Step 4: Let steep 5 min (black teas), 4 min (green teas), 10-20 min (fresh from the garden herbs). Letting the tea steep longer or shorter doesn't affect the 'strength' of the tea. If you want stronger tea, increase the tea leaves to water ratio, not the steeping time. If you want weaker tea, reduce the amount of leaves to water (or increase the water).
Step 5: Remove tea bag/sac or strain tea at proper time – never squeeze the bag, just let it drip when you pull it out. Sweeten with agave nectar or vegan sugar as desired.
*If you want another cup, draw a fresh kettle of water – never re-boil water!
Iced-tea: Make the tea stronger, let cool, then pour into a pitcher with ice. As the ice melts, the strength will reduce, which is why you make it 1.5X stronger than you normally would. Sweeten before cooling.
Happy Teatime!

Bought it for a friend of mine, I wish I could buy one for my own Galaxy S10e, the quality is great and it looks awesome:)
sadly can't reviews a 4.5/5, but that is mainly due to 1 small thing (which is probably only applicable to me) I have earbuds which have a slightly smaller base near the 3.5jack. So they sort of unplug themselves from time to time because of the bottom side of the cover. Now, regarding the cover itsself. Great quality lays extremely well in your hand and isn't clunky great visual style.
The case is awesome it makes my phone look like a new one. Blown away by the quality of the prosuct. (And thank you team of CDPR for the extra stickers, can't wait 'til Cyberpunk 2077...)
Just got my s8 case. -it arrived very fast(I am from Romania). -the quality is awesome -the rubber around the wood is confortable. Feels good in the hand -perfect fit for the phone
Comment only
Make it available again for S8, please! Want to buy! :)
I got the one for iPhone 7/8. Fits perfectly on my 7. Superb quality. I really love the texture on the sides which you can't really see that well on the pictures, it feels really nice when you hold the phone. The engraving is perfect as well. Super happy with this case!


text: On September 4, 2017 I stood on a balcony in Miami and had a conversation with myself about loyalty and the future. Unbeknownst to the audience I was working through the issues surrounding either joining Adam Gingrich at the MAGA Coalition, sticking with the perverted losers in Palm Beach or staying in the forest and watching Periscope. If I had to do it all over again, I would make the same choice as I did in 2017.

Pet Surrender
At PARL, we understand how difficult it is to make the decision to surrender your pet but also that surrendering to the shelter should be a last resort. PARL serves about 1300 homeless pets annually, and we need to allocate shelter resources as best as possible to provide the best quality of life for the animals in our care.
Please click here to review information that can help you keep or rehome your pet instead of surrendering to the shelter. Keeping your pet out of the shelter can provide them with better quality of life as well as help save the lives of other shelter pets.
Owner Surrender - By Appointment Only
If you need to rehome your pet, we can assist you by appointment only. It is important to understand that this method of managed-intake gives your pet the best possible chance of a short, happy stay in the shelter resulting in a live exit to a new home. To learn more about managed-intake and how it has benefitted the lives of thousands of other pets, click here.
To schedule an appointment please call 401.421.1399 to speak directly to a PARL staff member. Please understand that appointments may need to be booked out by at least a couple of weeks. When calling to schedule an appointment please allow about 20 minutes for staff to gather information from you about your pet.
The Providence Animal Rescue League makes every effort to place healthy, friendly animals into loving forever homes. However, we cannot guarantee the placement of your surrendered pet. The placement of an individual dog, cat or other animal for adoption at our shelter is based on an evaluation of his or her health and temperament. Once we place an animal up for adoption, there is no set time limit for which he or she can remain up for adoption.

Surrender Donation
If at all possible, a monetary donation from pet owners at the time of surrender is greatly appreciated. Any amount donated on behalf of the surrendered pet will go towards funding his or her care, along with the care of other shelter pets.
Previous owners are welcome to call or e-mail to check on how their pet is settling-in and to find out where they are in the process. Each animal is different; some will be ready to be adopted in only a few short days of arriving, others require several weeks of care before they are ready for a new home.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, or are in need of using this service, please contact our staff at: (401) 421-1399 or e-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com

It was a case of holi-deja vu for Huntleys Amanze Egekeze.
The 6-foot-6 sophomore forward did exactly the same thing against Crystal Lake Central Friday in the finals of the Jacobs Christmas Tournament that he did a month earlier to Dundee-Crown in the finals of Sycamores Strombom Thanksgiving tournament. Egekeze took control with his team struggling, got them the lead, and then the Red Raiders did the rest behind Bryce Only, Troy Miller, and Justin Frederick for a 55-49 victory.
The loss was the first of the season for Central.
Its always nice to have that type of talent on your team, Huntley coach Marty Manning said. He kind of got us back in the game.
Huntley (10-1) trailed by as much as eight in the first quarter, but Egekeze started working inside after the Red Raiders fell behind 19-13 early in the second quarter. He hit six second-quarter field goals in seven attempts to score 12 of his game-high 21 points then, and Huntley took a 28-25 halftime lead.
Once (Centrals) Kyle Fleck got two fouls, and we knew Amanze had a definite height advantage, we wanted to get the ball into him as much as possible and he took advantage of it, Manning said.
In the second half, Only and Frederick hit buckets right away to expand the lead to seven and it never got below four again.
I thought Troy and Bryce and Justin got our lead up for us in the second half, but without Amanze doing what he did in the second quarter, we probably would have been down eight at the half.
Miller had 13 points, Only nine and Frederick eight points and six boards. Only hit four straight points afer Central cut the deficit to 49-43 and then the Red Raiders were shooting free throws the rest of the way.
They were much more fundamental than we were tonight, Central coach Rich Czezlawski said. That and we didnt have an answer for Amanze.
Central (11-1) got got 17 points from Nick Marchetti and 11 points from Corbin Murphy.

Meath stunned Kildare with a thrilling late flourish to set up a clash with Westmeath.
The visitors, who trailed by four points with less than three minutes to go, didn't hit the front until the deadly accurate Ciaran Fitzsimons struck for two injury-time points.
The hosts led from Cian Forde's eighth-minute goal, with Gerry Keegan scoring seven points, three from play.
It looked like the Lilies were destined for the next round until Jack Egan breached their defence with a 58th-minute goal. Suddenly, there was just the minimum between the sides and the momentum had swung Meath's way.
Fitzsimons equalised on the hour and the midfielder brought his tally to 10 points with those two late scores to clinch it.
Scorers -- Meath: C Fitzsimons 0-10 (8f), J Regan 1-2, J Toher 0-2(1f), A Ennis, D Keenan 0-1 each. Kildare: G Keegan 0-7(4f), C Forde 1-0, R Casey 0-2, N Donnelly, G Savage, D O'Flaherty (f), K Byrne, R Bergin 0-1 each.

The creature stirred. In it's dark prison. It's torment. All it could do now was wait. This
time it would not, could not fail. They had all failed. All it's attempts to finally be free,
were for not.
Lashiec had failed. He was weak. The pathetic fool. Too easily seduced, by the darkness.
The Creators had failed. And with them The Mother Brain. They promised they would succeed.
Two millennia, and still it had to suffer. This last time however, was not a complete
waste. With the help of those foolish "earth men", it was able to destroy part of the seal.
This would be it's advantage the next time.
It then turned his thoughts to the future. This time it would work. Perhaps Laschic could
be exploited again. If so or if not it would find others. These creatures were so weak.
It's mind began to wander, slowly drifting into sleep. This time it would unleash it's
vengeance upon the galaxy. At last his time would come. At the end, of the millennium.
While the darkness dreamt it's dark dreams, life in Algol continued. There was much to be
done by those who were left in the "Great Collapse" as it would come to be known. Time went
on. People had to preserver. It could have been worse much worse. There had been too many
sacrifices to just give up. He knew this. Rolf snapped out of his reverie. He had too much to
do. The restoration process was coming along slowly but surely. Besides work kept his mind off
Nei. It had been ten years to the day. Yet the pain still lingered. This was one wound the
time could not mend.
She would hate to see him like this. She would want him to live his life. Not brood over
her all day. With this thought he turned back to the task at hand.
All the while dark laughter echoed. These humans were too easy to fool. The human's
anguish, hatred, and despair. All this feed its power. For now it could feed on twice the
negative emotions as before. The anguish of those in the collapse had done well to give it the
strength it desired. The plan had worked despite his defeat in Algol, but he would be back.
And this time failure was not an option.
The demon awoke; to a world far different than the one he left a millennia ago. Motavia
once referred to as Algol's "shinning jewel", had now reverted to the desert it was two
thousand years prior. Still it was in better care now, after all some of the green remained,
creating dozens of oases.
The ancient being took a moment to survey what was left of this world. Now it had to find a
worthy apprentice, as he had planned. It reached out, quickly scanning the populace of all
Algol. Then he felt it, yes, this one would make a fine pupil.
He resided on Motavia in a small town, Kadary, yes that was it. Just like the others he
brooding dark thoughts, dark desires. He had always been treated cruelly, and he burned for
vengeance. This young man would be easy to tap thought the creature. All that needed to be
done was to promise him his vengeance, and the angry young man would follow.
The young man sat his back to the wall, his rage burning. He had always been an
outcast.(Because of his deformity.) Pushed away, ignored, and tormented. He wished he had
power, and then he would show them. He would show them what true fear was. "Zio.", a dark
voice called. "Do you truly want that much power?" Zio stood. He did not fear this dark
presence. He felt a strange... kinship with this being. At last he said, "Yes, I want power, I
would do any thing for this gift." A dark wind suddenly rushed over him in moments, he
absorbed the will of Dark Force. He stood and felt strong for the first time in his life. He
noticed his entire left arm was deformed, small price to pay for the power he now
Zio received another gift from the darkness. New clothing all black. His favorite color. He
put on his new clothing, and headed out the door.
It was mid-day; the hot sun burned slightly a minor irritant. Aron, one of the many people
who often tormented Zio appeared. All the insults all the torment came rushing back into Zio's
mind. Zio stared at him and let out an evil laugh that would have given a lunatic chills.
Zio's eyes became blood red, as he said for all to hear, "You shall be the first!" He raised
his "good" arm, and began to incant a spell; the populace could do not but watch the display.
From his palm a reddish light shot forth, it hit Aron; the blast knocked him back, killing him
instantly. Then a dark miasma enveloped the town. A demonic thunderclap sounded, as the back
of the town exploded.
Zio then calmly walked to the now destroyed area, in seconds a large church was erected. In
a booming voice he proclaimed, "The age of man is at an end, now darkness will reign!"
Night had fallen on Landale, a small village just west of Kadary. (So named for the
Landale's Alis and Rolf.) All slept save for one boy, whom went to work this night. Chaz
Ashley crept along the roof of the village's mayor's large home. He had specific instructions.
To break in. And steal a jeweled staff, of great value. Chaz was fourteen years old, the
youngest thief employed by "The One". A master thief whom no one knew his true identity. He
ran the order of thieves all over Motavia.
Chaz was also one of the best. And he knew it. Chaz had grown up on the streets, never
knowing of his parents. He was taken in by "The One". When he was only seven. He quickly
learned the "trade". From pickpocket to thief. The boy thief looked down the east side of the
building, saw his entry and went for it. A short jump off the side and he landed on a ledge,
that would lead to an easy entry through the window.
The boy was small even for one his age. He turned this to his advantage, whenever possible.
Whether for thieving, or brawls, as his size lead to those around him to often underestimating
Chaz shimmed across the ledge. And to the window. It was closed but not locked. This was
too easy the boy thought. Peering in the large room he saw it was empty. It was the butler's
room and he had the night off. He quietly slid the window open and slipped inside. Thinking of
the map he made himself, memorize, he crept silently to the door. Opened it slightly looked up
and down the hall, when he saw it was clear he went down it.
At last he entered the display room. Inside all sorts of rare and expensive items covered
the walls and in the display cases. The staff was at the far end. The case containing it was
locked. This however presented no problem for Chaz. He took out his lock picks and went to
work. In moments the lock clicked open. He then opened the case and took the staff. It was
about four feet long, made of ebony, on it blood red rubies shone. The "Staff of Destiny" it
was called. And strange writings that Chaz could not read. He thought he heard a whisper. He
stopped and listened. Nothing. He shook his head, and exited the manor the same way he
Chaz returned home. To "The Laconian Pot". A tavern that was just a front for the thieves'
guild. He handed the staff over to the quartermaster, a middle aged man named Jak. "The One
will be pleased with this young Ashley." "Rest for now." Chaz went to his "bed" that consisted
of two chairs and a blanket, in the bar's taproom. Sleep came quickly for Chaz.
In a pitch-black room a voice called, our"Zio, I have orders you must destroy and town
called Landale. It is named after two humans I loathe. And it will show humanity our power."Ā
Zio replied, "I live to serve you master."
Chaz tossed and turned, in his dream he saw Landale burning. While a man in black walked
unharmed amongst the inferno. The populace was running in terror, while some ran in flames.
Then a dark voice whispered. "Kill them, all of them." Then he awoke was it just a dream? It
seemed so real. It was near dawn Chaz stood up, and walked to the window. He opened it and
took a breath of fresh air that seemed to calm his nerves. He thought again of the eerie
feeling the staff gave him. And shuddered at the strange felling it gave him.
Hours later after meeting with "The One" and receiving his personal job well done. Chaz
went for a walk. He brought along his sword. Which had been given to him by his fellow
thieves. He was not sure why he had brought it along. He just felt it would be needed.
Besides, many citizens wore blades at their sides on Motavia. So he didn't feel too out of
His walk took him to the outskirts of town, all the while Chaz's mind wandered from one
topic to the next.
Now he had wondered farther than he intended. It was about two o'clock and Chaz turned
around and began home again.
When Landale was finally in sight again, he shuddered at the horror. Just as in his dream
the town was a flames. "I have to do something!" Chaz said running towards the village. It was
too late for the citizens of Landale. Chaz fought back tears, as he saw his hometown in ashes.
People he knew, dead on the ground. "Well, what do we have?" a cold voice said. Chaz turned
the face him. It was the man in black from his nightmare! "You did this!" Chaz yelled drawing
his sword. The man laughed a sick sound to Chaz's ears. "So what if I did! I must do as my
master bids! What could you possibly do about it anyway?" Chaz his anger building took an
attack stance. "You can't be serious boy?" Before he could get another word out Chaz rushed
forward and slashed out with all his strength. The man stood unharmed. Chaz was stunned. Zio
raised his hand and a powerful gust pushed him back, he slumped to the ground unconscious.
Zio approached the boy. He began to incant a spell then suddenly stopped. "He is not worth
my energy to dispose of."
Chaz awoke to see a beautiful woman standing over him. She had long brown hair, and deep
blue eyes. And she wore a red-dress, with plate-mail that could be seen under her blouse. At
last she spoke "What is your name?" His head rang and his memory was clouded he shook it off
and said "Chaz. Chaz Ashley." She smiled at him and said, "I'm Alys Brangwin. Is that your
sword, Chaz?" He only managed a nod, to the positive.
Chaz saw many other hunters as he and Alys walked the vicinity of the town. As well as
people he remembered from town. So others had survived, he felt relived. The hunters and
survivors helped bury the dead, and care for the wounded. They would all go to Aiedo a city to
the north of so Chaz had heard. "Where are your parents Chaz?" "I don't have any." Alys could
hardly believe it. She too had never known her parents, but at lest she had a foster father
who raised her. After along silence Alys spoke up, "How would you like to become a Hunter like
me? I could train you." Chaz thought about his old life, that was something he did not want to
return to. Being a hunter he could finally lead a strait life. "I would like that very much."
He said.
Little over a year had passed since that day. His training was not easy but at least he had
a place to stay, it was better than thieving any day. Often since he had been asked about the
destruction of Landale. His memory was still fuzzy and the last thing he could recall was
seeing the town on fire, nothing else, when he tried to remember anything else his head hurt.
Zio watched his followers kneel in submission. They once turned their backs on him now the
worshiped him. He finally had power, but this was only the beginning he would find more
followers no matter the cost, and perhaps he would construct a castle, one suited to his
greatness. Occasionally he thought of that boy he had spared in Landale. He knew why he did it
now, because that boy had reminded Zio of himself at that age. The boy would never remember of
course Zio saw to that. Then his thoughts returned to his master's plan, and plan that was
well on its way to fruition. He couldn't help but smile at the thought.
She had taut him how to fight. Took him into her home. She was the first true person to
care about him as a person. Not just as a skillful thief. Images of her raced in his head. And
the sight of her as she breathed her last breath, haunted him. His lust for vengeance burned
deep inside. "Chaz! Snap out of it! You can not let your anger blind you!" Rika said as she
put her hand on his shoulder. That was the way he had been acting all day. In and out of
sessions of dark brooding. Chaz looked her in the eyes, "Sorry, I don't even realize it comes
over me like that." The party knew the signs well. He would quietly walk along, not speaking,
with a tint of hatred in his eyes.
Rika looks out for me just like Alys did. I'm glad someone does. ĀChaz had only known a few
women in his short life. Yet he had never met anyone quite like Rika. From her exotic beauty.
To her child like innocence. A quality Chaz had been robbed of early on. His feelings for her
were confused at best. Was it love he felt? He had never known it in this capacity, so he was
The moonlight shone down on them. Making Rika's pink hair appear purple. And basking the
Motavian landscape in a white glow. "Tomorrow we face Zio. Don't let your anger posses you. I
want to avenge Alys just as much as you do. And not lose you in the process."Ā Chaz knew she
was right. Rika took his hand, and gave him a comforting smile. Neither of them spoke for
Zio's castle looked foreboding in the early morning light. Last time he was here they had
to escape. This time Zio would die. Chaz could see it in his mind's eye. As he stood,
triumphant over Zio's lifeless form. Then perhaps Alys' soul could rest in peace. Chaz, Rune,
Rika, Gryz and Demi entered the maw of the beast-like castle.
Zio stood in front of the control center of Nurvus. The mammoth CPU buzzed and hummed as it
ran the ecosystem of all Motavia. He stared at the monitor showing Chaz's party enter. "So
they have come back to finish me? Excellent as it saves me the trouble of hunting them down."
Darkforce bellowed in Zio's mind Beware of the one who was once called Lutz. He has foiled us
before.Ā "This time he will not!"
The five of them ventured deeper into the labyrinth. Fighting off Zio's guards as
necessary. After sometime they reached him. The dark sorcerer turned to face them. "At last,
you have arrived. Now you will die!" Chaz spoke next, "No! Zio your terror ends here!"
Zio summoned the horrible visage of his lord, and cast his barrier spell. Weapons were
drawn, and the battle was on. Zio's barrier was broken with the Psycho-Wand. Chaz leapt
forward at slashed out. His blade tore into Zio's flesh, as his blood ran down the silver
blade. Rune unleashed bright red ball of magic, it hit Zio dead on knocking him back. As he
stood stunned from the blast Gryz attacked. He seemed like a blue blur as he gave Zio the axe.
Demi fired. While Rika attacked with all the ferocity of a primal beast.
The battle went on. At last in a flash of light, Zio cried out, "Why do you abandon me Dark
Force? I can't die!!!"Ā Stumbling back Zio fell, deep in to the chasm that was to the side.
Silently Chaz said, "At last you can rest in peace Alys."
In the nothingness between time and space, The Profound Darkness stirred. So Zio had
failed. No matter. Those humans would never defeat him. Not once he returned to Algol and that
time was just on the horizon.
Their quest was finally ending. Chaz thought as they entered the miasma. The Profound
Darkness loomed. It did not try to speak it just attacked. With all the courage they could
muster Protectors attacked. And the battle for Algol began in earnest.
The battle dragged on. Now the Darkness had taken a new form. It was in mock form of a
woman. Its green hair flowed with a neon glow; it gave off an eerie gaze from its eyes. Yet it
said nothing, just as before. With renewed strength, the Protectors attacked. At last, the
beast was pushed back; it's physical body deteriorating.
No! Not like this! How can these weak creatures destroy me? It's entire existence flashed
in its mind. It had battled its brother, in space over three millennia ago. Its hatred grew
with its imprisonment. It plotted. Yet again and again it failed. Every time victory was so
close, just to be taken away. Now it was going to die; never again to return. Yet it felt
almost relived.Ā Strange how death changes perspective.
Algol's light beckoned a new day. The Darkness was gone. Algol's terrible curse finally
lifted. But does evil every truly die? They would have to remain vigil against the day. The
day, that a new terror threatens their world. This time they would ready. Ready for

It's brought you fond memories of joy, laughs, and occasional fights from those playing with you. You may also appreciate the metaphors it has with supply chain management and distribution needs.
Here are some current trends in the transportation industry that will affect your supply chain management.
Shortage of Drivers: Like picking out a driver in Mario Kart, nobody wants to get stuck with Toad. Recent trends in the carrier industry have seen a shortage of truck drivers with proper certification and training. The demand is there but the supply is not. According to a 2015 American Trucker's Association (ATA) report, the driver shortage was expected to reach 48,000 in 2015 could rise as high as 175,000 by 2024 if current trends continue. Causes include an aging driver population, lifestyle, competitive job market, and increased driver regulation. With reduced fuel prices, labor is quickly becoming the highest operational cost for carriers. As a result, higher premiums for labor are infused into the supply chain and customers end up screaming like they got hit with a red turtle shell. Kablooie goes your budget.
Truck Capacity Utilization: Because of driver shortages and higher labor costs, carriers have been decreasing spend on new asset investment and current fleets are consequently seeing capacity utilization near 100%. Imagine that you're debating on sticking with the banana peels or dumping them for a box of red turtle shells. The longer you wait, though, the bananas start to go rotten and that's what carriers are seeing as the cause of higher fleet maintenance costs. So to speak.
THE MAIN TAKEAWAY? All these factors affect asset management, capital spending, and growth strategy for the trucking industry. Even with crude oil and diesel fuel costs trending downward, carriers are still experiencing difficulty counterbalancing their rising costs while trying to recruit drivers to meet increasing demand. As a customer trying to mitigate supply chain risk and costs, you should do extra research into your choice of carriers.

Dairy Crest is the UK's leading chilled dairy foods company. They manufacture a range of everyday dairy brands including the award-winning Cathedral City cheddar. Production at the Frome site requires significant volumes of nitrogen and the customer was looking for an alternative to purchasing liquid Nitrogen from a supplier, due to costs and delivery reliability.
The switch to self generation of nitrogen at our Frome site has had extremely positive results for Dairycrest. We have significantly reduced our nitrogen costs, with a very short payback period and are no longer subject to price fluctuations in the market. We now also have complete control of our nitrogen supply.
Chris Lowe, Engineering Manager
Information gathered during a Maziak site visit, combined with our partnership with the UK's leading manufacturer of nitrogen generation machinery enabled us to recommend and deliver a complete Nitrogen Generator Packaged solution.
A state of the art Nitrogen Generator was installed into a bespoke container (Airbox) which allows for a constant supply of Nitrogen, 24 hrs a day, 365 days per year, at 99.95% purity as required by the customer.
The system was driven by one new 11kW compressor along with a dryer and air treatment package and gives a round the clock variable compressed air delivery of between 0 and 60cfm.
The package was built in Maziaks' workshop and contains all air treatment, air storage, nitrogen storage, ventilation, heating and even its own local distribution board—a complete plug and play solution. This meant an installation time onsite of only 8 hrs.
This Nitrogen container achieved payback in its first year and since then Dairycrest's nitrogen costs have decreased by a massive 90%. This solution has also cut the time and effort required to manage their Nitrogen supply.

{Today's Woman}
Yesterday, we had the special treat of being showcased on TV3's Today's Woman, hosted by Audrey Selormey. The production team visited the AccraPremium office in Accra and followed me through a day in my life.
I was then invited into the studio for a fun discussion on my professional past, present and future. The lovely hostess was very charming, professional and well prepared. It was truly a great experience.Here are some behind the scenes pics from the shoot.

{Beyond at La Maison}
Last Night, La Maison, Accra's most chic home decor boutique, hosted a very special group art exhibition titled Beyond. This show, curated by Rania Odaymat, featured works of art from a few of Ghana's most gifted minds:
The multi-sensory exhibits allowed visitors to experience the offerings visually, audibly and even by scent through the fragrance of La Maison's signature scented candles. Graceful dance performance artists adorned in Odaymat's jewelry either silently blended into the crowd or actively called our attention with their handclaps and powerful contemporary modern dance movements.
Definitely the most beautiful and diverse crowd I have seen at an event in Ghana, from the Lebanese Fashionistas dressed in their cocktail party finest, to the underground artsy types in graphic t-shits and Converse sneakers and the business bigwigs enjoying a chance to mingle. All seemed in awe of the truly remarkable event the curators put together for our enjoyment.
Beyond will be hosted at La Maison from October 3-12 2013. If you are a lover of beautiful things, please do not miss this event.
Ghana is truly becoming a Premium Destination! XOXO - Melissa

Stellar Lodge & Apartments in Takoradi is very well situated to accommodate families and international business travelers who demand cleanliness, modern fixtures and appliances and reliable internet. An extra plus for this location is having the Champs Bar & Restaurant on the premises as well as a Stellar Foods shop, where one can find top quality imported food products.
Having undergone a recent overhaul, you can see at every juncture that their guest's safety is top priority. Staff all seemed very well trained, professional and responsive to guest's needs.
Bathrooms are all modern, with a nice hot shower and generously stocked with good smelling shower gels. Nice large plasma TVs and a comfy king sized bed. I had a pleasant surprise to find that my room remained cool long after AC switched off. An extra treat in West Africa!
Apartments are comfortably furnished, with a terrace overlooking the pool. The gym was clean and well polished, with state of the art equipment and almost every type of weight and device you can imagine. This place is an excellent choice for a home away from home while working in or visiting Takoradi.
I'll be back! - Melissa

According to a World Economic Forum report on innovation in construction, digital integration in the ICI sector will drive annual global savings of more than $1 trillion and drones will be front and centre in the evolution.
"During the actual construction phase, drones survey and inspect the construction site. 3D printers prefabricate many of the building components. GPS and radio-frequency identification (RFID) are used for tracking the materials, equipment, and workers, in order to then optimize flows and inventory levels. Robots and autonomous vehicles do much of the actual building work. 3D laser scanning or aerial mapping is used for comparing work-in-progress against a virtual model, thereby enabling prompt course corrections and minimizing corrective work," write authors of the 2016 report, Shaping the Future of Construction. "Take the case of a Japanese equipment manufacturer that has developed fully autonomous bulldozers, led by drones that map the area in real-time to provide data on the workload."
And that's just what Canadian entrepreneurs The Sky Guys, a professional drone service based in Oakville, Ont. serving clients around the world, is seeing happen already.
COO Tom Hanson says not only is the construction sector one of many sectors the company services but it is also one of the fastest growth areas for drone use.
Sky Guys started out as a marketing service for real estate in 2016, he says, and then saw other opportunities as other digital-driven technologies became smaller, lighter and more able to be integrated into a drone's payload.
The service has gone far beyond just providing eye-in-the-sky video and photographs for clients and is now being used to map, scan soil conditions with LIDAR, look for water leaks, capture topography and integrate with BIM to chart progress and synchronize project management timelines.
"Now we're focused on construction, real estate, power utilities, engineering, mining, agriculture and military applications," says Hanson. "We're number one in Canada and among the top 20 companies in the world."
The business opportunities grew with the technology and the expanding capabilities of digital hardware and the attendant software, he says, to the point where Sky Guys also provides data services for clients, analyzing and extrapolating key data point from the raw data.
Hanson says the business now includes designing and building the UAVs, the related hardware, as well as work on the software and data collection and analytics side.
"We provide actionable insight to improve existing project management," he says. "We're providing a turn key solution as opposed to just going out and collecting the data."
"We provide actionable insight to improve existing project management and work flows, to help them stay on time, on budget" he says. "We're providing a turn key solution as opposed to just going out and collecting the data."
UAVs can quickly survey building sites and generate maps or plans. Once the GPS locator points are laid in at a site and programmed into the flight path, it's a simple task for a crew to fly the same pattern at intervals to track progress, says Hanson.
That's a plus for developers who don't have to rely on cumbersome machinery and expensive surveying tools or shut down sites for safety reasons.
Other technologies like VR and augmented reality engage stakeholders and clarifying design ideas. Finally, they can reduce the time operators and surveyors spend in high-hazard areas, which in turn is a health and safety bonus, say experts.
Sky Guys has about 75 ongoing and active projects at any given time both in Canada, the U.S. and around the world, ranging from residential and condo developments to civil projects such as dam, roads, bridges and railways.
"It's really endless," he says. "With BIM for example we can track progress and render 3D models, we can check earthworks by depth to ensure it's on schedule and we can look for environmental encroachment, such as a leak in a mining tailing pond."
The flight regulations vary by jurisdiction with Canada having one of the strictest regimes. Flying in Saudi Arabia, for example, is much different than piloting a UAV at construction site in Toronto.
For tight downtown sites UAV work may not be possible because of those restrictions. Hanson says they won't fly unless they can comply with regulations and always does a site check to look for overhead wires and other structures which may cause issues.
They have a network of 100 pilots qualified to fly the UAVs, some working as contractors and some on staff. Depending on the nature of the job, they will either contract out or send a staffer for the more complex, delicate assignments. A crew consists of a pilot and a spotter who is required to maintain a line-of-sight on the UAV at all times even though the pilot may have a POV (point of view) from a video screen in front of him.
"A lot of companies start out doing it in-house and quickly realize it's more complex than they thought it was," says Hanson. "Then they call us."
