There is no better way to begin snowshoeing than just going out and doing it. If you enjoy hiking in the summer months, you will love snowshoeing as a winter activity. Whether you like short walks or to go for miles, looking for a fun family activity or a little solitude.
When deciding where to go for the day, note that most cross country ski trails double as snowshoeing trails.

I can't wait to tell you guys about this amazing new technology I was introduced to last year. The Pulse Centers machine is like a massage for your cells! It is literally charging up trillions of cells that are inside your body.
As I'm getting older one of the coolest things I'm finding out is that you can get a cellular workout! For 15-20 minutes, your body through PEMF technology, can send a magnetic field through my tissues and cells and regenerates my body on a cellular level.
So this means it increases my body's resistance to adverse influences by exercising my cells. I can recover from any pain, infections, distressed organs, or broken ligaments in much less time now!
More than 10,000 scientific papers have been published about the effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy. Many of the initial studies have been carried out in Russia and Eastern Europe. However, more and more research is now taking place in the U.S. This therapy is non-invasive, non-contact, non-pharmacological and effective treatment for combating free radicals and improving the production of natural antioxidants. Worldwide, more than 2,000 double blind studies demonstrate that PEMF therapy is a safe and effective treatment and promotes and maintains general cellular health and function.
Some of the other benefits are: improving your body's energy production, increase oxygenation, enhance circulation, promote hydration, facilitate detoxification, and provide your body with the ability to better absorb nutrients. Using one of these machines is like putting tiny jumper cables on your cells. Using one of these machines is like putting tiny jumper cables on your cells.

Bad Packets: Broadband wireless wears a cape
Broadband wireless technologies, which promise high throughput, incredibly fast deployment times, an increasing range of reliability and value-added services, are starting to look sweeter and sweeter.
|E-mail Wes Simonds
You say potato
I say potahto
You say tomato
I say tomahto
Potato, potahto
Tomato, tomahto
Let?s call the whole thing off.
Gershwin wasn't thinking of the complex task of the network manager in the twenty-first century when he wrote that, but the lyric still applies in some ways.
Network managers need X, fast, but only Y is actually on the market. They're promised X, but Y is what their carriers/ISPs wind up delivering. Sometimes it's not even Y; it's omega, which, as everyone knows, has serious interoperability problems with X in the context of an actual word.
Few aspects of networking are as mission-critical to today's net manager as a fast, reliable link to carriers/ISPs -- certainly for data, and increasingly for voice as well. And it seems to me that broadband wireless technologies, which promise high throughput, incredibly fast deployment times, an increasing range of reliability and value-added services, are starting to look sweeter and sweeter.
Oh, sure, you've heard the broadband wireless pitch before. And this is how you've responded: How appealing could it really be? Haven't we already solved those problems? The bottom line is that nothing is as fast or reliable as fiber, right?
That's certainly true for the most part. Binary data and fiber are a match made in heaven, and have been ever since they started making googly eyes at each other as teenagers way back in the day.
But fiber's expensive to roll out -- the cost having been estimated as high as $200,000 per square mile in some urban environments where it isn't already deployed. And surprisingly, more than 90% of US office buildings still haven't got a direct fiber connection.
Then, too, despite the gloom-and-doom economy discouraging cash expenditures, the fact remains that many businesses find themselves confronting situations in which they need today's fiber performance at tomorrow's delivery times.
Enter broadband wireless. By way of radio waves (generally referred to as fixed wireless technology) or lasers (known as free-space optics) transmitted in either a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configuration, network managers can go from nothing to Gigabit Ethernet-class performance in literally a few days.
This is obviously a strong selling point in areas where fiber isn't already distributed like hurled spaghetti in every direction. No infrastructure? No problem. In Western Pennsylvania, for example, Prime Companies has been selling data services via fixed wireless for a solid year now.
But even in densely populated urban areas, a good business case often exists for the technology. In the weeks following Sept. 11, for instance, fiber services in Manhattan proved less than entirely reliable for reasons beyond anyone's control, and Merrill Lynch, which had considerable voice and data needs in the immediate term, had to find an alternate approach. Immediately.
Their solution? Terabeam, a Seattle-based free-optics solution provider. In a matter of days Terabeam had established a high-speed link from lower Manhattan to New Jersey -- over a mile -- which served Merrill Lynch's needs at a time when traditional approaches just weren't delivering.
Imagine that. You say potato, you get potato.
Naturally, both fixed wireless and free-space optics technologies have the obvious shortcoming: blockage is an issue for them, particularly weather blockage, whereas it's virtually nonexistent for fiber. Both technologies don?t get along well with dense fog, for instance, which from the standpoint of data throughput is an infinite number of water-based mirrors, which can reflect, distort, or even completely stall a transmission.
But bear in mind that Terabeam is based in Seattle and you begin to see exactly how much bad weather is really required to rain on the free-space optics data parade.
And the story is much the same for fixed wireless, which has become more and more robust with each generation and which is looking increasingly appealing as a cheaper alternative to business DSL in point-to-multipoint configurations in cities.
You know, I hate to say it, but despite the title of this column, I'm having a tough time finding anything bad to say about these packets. The fact is that I think broadband wireless is a great networking concept whose time has come.
Next time around, though, I'm writing about Microsoft.

Madras Café is a hypnotically created masterpiece which thrives in the freshness of its conception. It is a sinewy and riveting espionage thriller that entertains without having to play to the gallery. The movie crackles with genuine energy and is marked by true empathy for humanity. It is an unqualified triumph. Using history with drama to build a persuasive tapestry of enthralling action, energetic plot and skillful narration of the grim phase of Lankan War, Shoojit Sircar astonishes with this fascinating docu-style dramatic movie. The story hinges on a conspiracy theory that links the assassination of a pacifist ex-Prime Minister to the machinations of giant corporations and foreign agencies out to destabilize the subcontinent.
Madras Cafe draws upon actual events that are still fresh in the nation's collective memory and crafts a compelling and fast-paced political drama. Sircar hits the right strides, and blends fact and fiction with great narrative aplomb and visual flair. The director attempts a risky tightrope walk between staying true to recent geopolitical history and the need to serve up an imagined, dramatised spy story. As Lankan leader Anna strives to garner power and Indian Government attempts to achieve their political motive of maintaining monopoly in the subcontinent by maintaining friendly relations with Lanka to obtain access into the South East Asia, Sircar wonderfully relates the story of anarchy, bloodshed and meaningless war which continued for 27 long years killing thousands. In the end, he does squeeze out a potent message about the nugatory nightmare of the wrath of war. Shoojit intelligently executes a crisply written story which is executed breathtakingly. He succeeds on both counts. At no point does Madras Cafe appear to be in danger of losing its balance and plummeting into a void.
Madras Cafe stands apart from run-of-the-mill smack-downs because it does not celebrate vacuous militaristic machismo. What the film does instead is bring home the horrors of a civil war and its human ramifications. At the centre of the drama are an undercover intelligence agent Vikram Singh (John Abraham) and a London-based war correspondent Jaya Sahni (Nargis Fakhri) who are up against daunting odds in a war zone. Neither, however, possesses the attributes of larger-than-life daredevils. Vikram Singh is deployed on a covert oppression to Jaffna. After India and Sri Lanka signed the peace accord in the mid-1980s, India took it as their mission to help its neighbors relieve themselves from the ethnic strife between the Sinhalese and the Tamils. Hatching a plot to bring down Anna, a popular Tamil leader in the zone, Vikram tries to team up with Anna's opponents in the beginning. On the ground, however, treachery is rife and leaks from within the organisation pushes him repeatedly into deadly traps laid by the adversary. It is a world where danger lurks at every corner and violence erupts without much warning. Worst of all, in the shadows, it is difficult to tell friend from foe.
Falling prey to a leak, he loses his first shot with Anna and gets kidnapped by his forces. However, now hell bent on getting Anna to bow down, he teams with Anna's own men and manages to ambush his army. However, Anna manages to live and returns even more powerful by eradicating Indian forces off Jaffna and Lanka.
Plotting ways to kill the former Indian Prime Minister fearing that he will return to power, the film is a tussle between the war makers to safeguard their interests. And for Vikram, it is the story about how India lost its Prime Minister in an assassination which the nation has still not forgotten!
From the opening scene of a brutal terror attack on a bus in Jaffna to the climactic explosion that shatters the hero's hopes of stopping a heinous act, Madras Cafe does not let go of its grip on the audience for even a moment. Its muscles stem primarily from its steadfast eschewal of narrative conventions that are a part and parcel of spy thrillers. The writers (Somnath Dey, Shubendu Bhattacharya) obviously have their hearts in the right place. And so undeniably does the director. He constructs an account of what might have happened in the last two and a half years leading up to the elimination of an Indian political leader by the world's first-ever human bomb. Most of the real historical markers are all in place and the filmmaker takes only minor liberties with issues of chronology and detail. But the names given to the key individuals and organisations engaged in the Sri Lankan civil war are strictly in the realms of fiction.
Although Madras Cafe has not been shot on real Sri Lankan locations, the production design, the camerawork and the editing ensure that what unfolds on the screen never looks less than authentic.
Nargis Fakhri, playing a journo who converses only English, strikes the right notes, while John Abraham throws all his weight behind the character of the RAW agent who loses more than he gains in the line of duty. As an actor, he comes up trumps.

At his father's urging, he studied water systems engineering, which means he can answer a serious question that's been on Geth's mind: Why does the tap water smell so weird in Florida? The answer to that question may be a bit hard to grasp, but understanding will be found in the idea that a good father will respect his child's hard work and dedication.

Well, I'm back from a great weekend away learning all about Copics. I am complete beginner with Copics but have always been so hopeless using them, so decided it was about time to get some real lessons. I met great women who are all so talented – I was blown away by their skills.
Anyway, the card today pre-dates the Copic retreat and is actually for the Moxie Fab World Stamp-It Stamping with Markers challenge. I love this new sympathy set from Hero Arts and inked up the flower with my Marvy markers. I did learn how to use Copics direct to stamps though and can't wait to give that a try next This card is also for the Anything Goes challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks for stopping by & watch this space for lots of Copic cards coming soon!

Bottom LineThe $549 OnePlus 6T is the best value for your Android smartphone dollar today.
There's going to be a theme in this review. As I tested the OnePlus 6T, it generally came in just a little bit behind much more expensive phones like the Google Pixel 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on various measurements. But that's the thing: It's just a little bit behind, often not enough to notice in real life, and it costs a lot less. That unbeatable value makes it an Editors' Choice.
Pricing, Plans, and Sales
Flagship phones have been getting more expensive this year. Last year's success of the iPhone X made everyone else think they can sell large phones for £1,000, and so here we are, with $1,000 phones. In that context, the base model £499 OnePlus 6T is as radically inexpensive as the OnePlus One was back when flagships cost £500.
The phone comes in four models and two finishes: 6GB/128GB (108GB available) with a Mirror Black finish for £499; 8GB/128GB with a Mirror Black finish for £529; 8GB/128GB with a Midnight Black finish for £529; or 8GB/256GB with a Midnight Black finish for £579. The phone doesn't have a microSD card slot for expandable memory, but 128GB should be plenty. As for colours, you can have any colour you want as long as it's black, but at least there are matte and glossy options.
Physical Form
The 6T, like most phones today, is a flat, black slab. At 157.5 x 74.8 x 8.2mm (HWD) and 183g, it's a little bit wider than I
The AMOLED screen is bright and well-balanced. At 2,340 by 1,080 pixels and 402ppi, it's lower-resolution than some of its competitors, but not so much that you notice (It's still higher density than the iPhone
From top: The OnePlus 6T, with its mini notch, and the OnePlus 6
We're all going to mourn the consumer-unfriendly loss of the headphone jack. Yes, this is becoming a mainstream thing now, but no, I don't know anyone who likes it. OnePlus said that getting rid of the jack let it get the fingerprint scanner into its place, along with a larger 3,700mAh battery.
As with previous phones, the 6T has neither wireless charging nor is it waterproof. Wireless charging, I can take or leave wireless charging, but OnePlus should really get on board with waterproofing phones like everyone else is doing.
Unboxing the phone is unusually delightful. There are a lot of little surprises. I don't usually see phones come with a "handwritten" letter from the CEO in the box, or with a case. The 6T also comes with a special Dash Charger and a USB-C-to-3.5mm dongle. Only a pair of USB-C headphones would have made the experience perfect; those sell for around £15 extra.
Fingerprint Sensor
The blockbuster feature here, of course, is the in-display optical fingerprint sensor, but not the first we've seen in a UK phone - Huawei's Mate 20 Pro got there first.
The in-display fingerprint sensor isn't actually connected to making the notch smaller, as it would be on an iPhone. Much of the iPhone's notch size comes from its infrared structured-light sensor, used for Face ID. An in-display fingerprint sensor, the thinking goes, would let Apple get rid of that camera and shrink its notch. But the OnePlus 6's notch was just the front-facing camera and proximity sensor, which have been squeezed into the smaller 6T notch. In this case, the fingerprint sensor just lets OnePlus say that it's on the cutting edge—as well as letting you wake up the phone with your fingerprint without flipping it over.
When you wake up the phone, either by tapping on it or twisting it, a green fingerprint appears on the screen. That's the sensor area. You have to press the pad of your finger onto the
Here's the thing, though: The sensor gets better with time. According to OnePlus, it learns as you press it more and more often, and becomes more accurate.
The phone also has face unlock, which helps speed things up further. With both of them turned on, the fingerprint sensor becomes more for making purchases and authenticating accounts, situations where you're more likely to be doing a thoughtful, deliberate press on the sensor anyway.
Software and Performance
The OnePlus 6T runs Android 9.0 Pie with OnePlus' simple, tasteful OxygenOS extensions. OnePlus has been pretty good with Android updates; it's promising Android 9 for phones all the way back to the OnePlus 3, so you should expect to get Android 10 and even Android 11 on this device eventually.
OxygenOS doesn't have an always-on display mode; it shows the time and notifications when you move the phone or tap the screen, to save battery. Other good, hidden touches include an "app locker" to put specific apps behind a password, and "parallel apps" to let you spawn multiple social media identities for apps that don't typically allow them.
The software modifications are tuned for speed, and the 6T benchmarks better than any phone other than the Pixels or the souped-up Razer Phone 2. We got 8651 on PCMark, as compared with 9191 on the Pixel 3 XL, but 7947 on the LG V40 and 7662 on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Graphics feel extra snappy because of the 1080p screen. Like other 1080p Snapdragon 845-based phones, the 6T got 31fps on the GFXBench Car Chase onscreen benchmark; phones with 2K screens tend to get 20 to 22fps.
I hate comparing speeds here with phones which cost considerably more. So what else is around the same price at T-Mobile? Well, the LG G7 ThinQ and the Samsung Galaxy S8; The Galaxy S8 gets 6905 on PCMark and 12fps in that onscreen graphics benchmark. The G7 gets 7983 and 22fps. The OnePlus 6T is significantly faster than any other phone in its price bracket.
8GB of RAM is a lot more than you get on other phones—both the LG G7 and Galaxy S8 have 4GB—and that means multitasking is richer and more responsive, especially if you're switching between games and other apps.
The 6T's 3,700mAh battery powers the huge screen for a decent amount of time—8 hours, 31 minutes in our test. The battery test results are shorter than the Galaxy Note 9's 12-plus
The Camera: Good Enough
The 6T has a 16-megapixel f/2 front-facing camera, along with 16-megapixel and 20-megapixel f/1.7 rear-facing cameras. Unfortunately, the dual rear-facing cameras aren't used for zoom or wide angle like they are on the iPhone XS or the LG V40; they're just combined to make better images.
The images themselves are very good, but not the best. I compared them with a Pixel 3 and an iPhone XR. Outdoors or in good light, the OnePlus does a little bit more sharpening than the Pixel does. That means better-defined brickwork, for instance, but some slightly visible artifacts when photographing clouds.
From left: OnePlus 6T, Google Pixel 3
In indoor light, the 6T's slightly sharper images are actually more pleasing to me—there's a threshold around the level of living-room-at-night light where the Pixel begins to fuzz out a bit with noise, but OnePlus images remain clear. In
From left: iPhone XR, OnePlus 6T, Google Pixel 3
While the 6T's front-facing camera isn't bad by any means, both the Pixel and the iPhone deliver slightly warmer skin tones. The Pixel's front-facing camera also does much better than the 6T's in low light, with the OnePlus camera sometimes getting very noisy as it struggled to keep up.

I love the look of Pixel camera photos. But in
The OnePlus 6T is the best value for the money in the US phone market today. It's easily comparable with the 128GB iPhone XR; the 128GB Google Pixel 3 XL; and other phones in the £1,000 range. But it starts at only £499.
The phone delivers slightly less performance than the Pixel 3 all around, that's true. But the Pixel 3 costs at least considerably more, a huge price difference for a few more features. Of course, it's not worth upgrading from the OnePlus 6. The OnePlus 6 is six months old. But there's a big leap forward in speed and camera quality from the OnePlus 5 and older phones, that's for sure.
The OnePlus 6T is the best buy around. It's fast, functional, and a great value. That makes it our Editors' Choice.

Photography & Video
Engagement shoot – with a new little twist.
The 1ste of February as we enter the month of love I photographed this beautiful couples engagement photos at the Majic Forest.
This time I added something extra – video. Something I recently fell in love with.
Everyone always carries around a camera and capturing moments at family trips – although everyone in my family does. I will always prefer taking photos above video, but it just felt silly taking photos of the same thing everyone else is. So this is where it started back in 2016 when we went on a camp trip to the West Coast. I'm still proud of the video I made and how the footage and editing came together. You can view the video here if you like 🙂
Now I'm incorporating video into my business, I'll be posting my short video series on YouTube and Social Media.
You can book a Photoshoot at firstname.lastname@example.com for only R450 per hour.

Although much is known about how some primates— in particular, monkeys and humans— visually represent, enumerate, and track different numbers of objects, very little is known about the numerical and cognitive processing of visual stimuli in prosimian primates. Here, we explore how four lemur species (Eulemur fulvus, Eulemur mongoz, Lemur catta, and Varecia rubra) visually represent small numbers of objects. Specifically, we presented lemurs with three expectancy violation looking time experiments aimed at exploring their expectations about a simple 1 + 1 addition event. In three experiments, we presented subjects with displays in which two lemons were sequentially added behind an occluder and then measured subjects' duration of looking to expected and unexpected visual outcomes. In Experiment 1, subjects looked reliably longer at an unexpected outcome of only one object than at an expected outcome of two objects. Similarly, subjects in Experiment 2 looked reliably longer at an unexpected outcome of three objects than at an expected outcome of two objects. In Experiment 3, subjects looked reliably longer at an unexpected outcome of one object twice the size of the original than at an expected outcome of two objects of the original size. These results suggest that some prosimian primates have the ability to track objects hidden behind occluders as well as the capacity to quantify these occluded objects across time and motion. In addition, since our looking tasks involve no training, our results necessarily tap into capacities that are naturally available to these animals without extensive preparation and suggest that the looking time paradigm may be used in future experiments assessing the visual processing abilities in a wide variety of primate species.

Reality slowly disintegrates into a fragmented nightmare in "The Father," a chilling one-act by the French playwright Florian Zeller that opened April 28 in the Kavinoky Theatre.
Zeller's story, set inside the addled mind of a man suffering from dementia, is more frightening than any horror film playing in your local cineplex. It follows Andre (David Lamb) as he travels farther away from himself and his memories, watching his family members turn into strangers and familiar parts of his world vanish into the ether.
The playwright describes "The Father" as "a tragic farce," which is a very French way of saying that, well, so is life.
The overarching effect, directed with confidence and sensitivity by Robert Waterhouse and keenly designed by David King, is pure, unadulterated dread. The walk to the car isn't easy. But that walk -- and the conversation later over drinks or on the ride home -- makes this production one of the season's essential theatergoing experiences.
What distinguishes "The Father" from other plays and films about the subject is its effectiveness in transferring the experience of dementia to the audience. Rather than a chronicle of a man's slide into dementia observed from a clinical distance, Zeller puts us inside Andre's mind. And it is not a comfortable place to be.
Our sense of what's real and what's fantasy becomes fractured almost from the start. Characters who may or may not be Andre's daughter, son-in-law or caretaker appear, vanish and take on different guises with disconcerting speed.
In one remarkable scene -- certainly the most jarring theatrical moment I've seen this season -- Andre's son-in-law (Christopher Evans) exits the room with a pair of grocery bags to prepare a chicken for dinner. Andre is perplexed when he doesn't return.
A moment later, his concerned daughter (Aleks Malejs) tells him that there is no man. There are no bags. There is no chicken.
The brilliance of Zeller's script, and especially that scene, is that we feel as confused and frightened as Andre because we experienced the same thing: We just saw the man with our own eyes, and now someone is telling us he doesn't exist.
At the heart of the production is an often thrilling and fully realized performance by David Lamb, who sets a baseline of charm for his character that makes his descent all the more painful to watch. Unshaven, in pajamas and a grey robe, Lamb maintains an air of confidence and ease even as his delusions mount.
He is positive his caretaker has stolen his watch, that his daughter is plotting to take over his flat, that he was once a tap-dancer. For the most part, save a few overly performative moments, Lamb renders his character's increasingly agitated confidence with honesty. The fear his character experiences in later scenes is utterly believable.
It helps that Lamb's scene partners are no slouches. Malejs is characteristically excellent as Andre's daughter Anne, simultaneously loving and exasperated. Evans and Adriano Gatto excel at the challenge of playing men who may or may not exist, doing things that may or may not be real. And Jenn Stafford and Kristen Bentley, sometimes as phantom daughters and sometimes as phantom caretakers, fill out the excellent cast with consummate skill.
Aging, as they say, is not for sissies. Nor is this play. But, at least in the second case, if you're brave and you can face it, you'll emerge from the experience stronger.
"The Father"
3.5 stars (out of four)

Gov. Nathan Deal said he would reluctantly support a measure that stripped a lucrative tax break for Delta Air Lines but also includes broader cuts to the state's income tax rate.
The Republican was a vocal supporter of the $50 million tax break, which would have eliminated the state's tax on jet fuels. But Senate Republicans voted Wednesday to strip it out of the measure after Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle said he would "kill" the incentive unless Delta restored ties with a gun rights group.
At a press conference Wednesday, Deal said he was frustrated by the "antics" of Republicans seeking higher office and said he would still seek to salvage a tax break for Delta. But he said he couldn't veto a measure that also amounted to a sweeping tax cut for residents.
"The real story is the unprecedented $5 billion tax cuts for Georgians," he said. "The real story is what it has always been: What is in the best interests of our state."

This page aims to document rumors that could be floating around the country or in specific villages. Event Admins could then respond to players who are interested in pursuing a rumor. These rumors are thus mostly for potential adventures only. Feel free to edit the page with contributions, but keep in mind that they may be altered or removed by a wikia admin.
Rumor descriptions, if not global, can only be heard within the specified area. The description should state how known the rumor is as well as how and where it can be heard.
The Elusive ChickenEdit
Sometimes, at random intervals, frantic clucking can be heard in the distance. This cacophonous fit is often followed by a trail of smoke, lifting up dirt, sand and grass, depending on where it treads, a white and red blur seen at its tip. Children curiously inquire to their elders, whom many a legend they've stored in their wise minds.
"That is a mystical being of good fortune, having taken the form of a hen," their frail voices recall. "It is fast, and it is volatile. Legend goes that, if one manages to catch it and pluck one of its feathers, they will be rewarded with a year's fortune!"
Many roam Valmasia in hopes of encountering such a creature. Only mere sightings and noises have been reported, before vanishing just as quickly as it appeared.
Shrine of the ForgottenEdit
Since the 700s, there have been a few dozens reported cases of people mysteriously disappearing, only to re-emerge years later without aging at all. In all cases, there's memory loss and a vague image of a swampy, aged shrine- withered away by hundreds of years. Some believe the place to be linked to the Oscuri's re-emergence. Nobody has located the mysterious temple.
Spiral MountainEdit
The highest and deadliest peak within Frostvale, estimated to be 10 miles tall. Many dragons reside within the caves, but legend says only one dominates the top, Vritra, the serpent of lightning, rumored to be over four centuries of age. Localized thunder storms often form near the mountain and locals say that they occur whenever the mighty dragon roars. This tale is spoken often within the inns of Frostvale, where adventurers often claim to have sighted the dragon from afar- some even going as far to say they fought him, perhaps after a bit too much to drink.
Irya's LabEdit
The founder of Phoenix Academy is a somewhat well known figure in Valmasia, Irya Sheen . Not so much a matter of a fact is the janitor, Jon, who swears he's seen a woman that looks just like Irya's portraits wandering the underground floor of the academy. Perhaps a ghost? Regardless of its origins, budding alchemists would love to get their hands on a secret labratory...
Ookami legendEdit
There are few Ookami left in the world especially in Danarium. They are all well known for keen senses and abilities that are close to dire wolves. One of the primary abilities is wild nature, they slightly lose control even the best in exchange for better reflexes and strength. But.. there is a legend about a power beyond wild nature, a full spirit wolf form. Ookami are of course not werewolves but this rumored ability is taking the spirit wolf power to the fullest extent. There are no records but there have been reports of an Ookami running in Wychwood on all fours with a transparent dire wolf covering his body. There is no proof if this really is a reachable ability for Ookami.....
Arachnid Men Edit
Legend tells of a subrace of humans to the south, one with remarkable abilities to heal and a figure like no other. They bear eight, pitch-black spines that sprout forth from their torso, like to those that a spider would own. A truly terrifying sight. Luckily, word is that it's incredibly hard for them to reproduce, and thus only a few have been spotted in existence. However, the aforementioned appendages are not permanent, no; the monsters can retract their protrusions and blend in with the humans around them. In hushed whispers within bars and alleyways, men, soldiers and thieves alike, suggest both hunting down these creatures out of fear and torturing them for their race's secrets.
Death Magi, The Forgotten Occultists Edit
Death magic is an art that is believed to be lost to the ages, an advanced form of dark magic that allows the user to rattle the very soul of their target. Despite it having faded into legend, recent gossip within the walls of Nostvale between practitioners of the dark arts speak of a elusive cult that have discovered a way to unlock the secrets. It's said that this cult targets Occultists with potential and inducts them into their order.
Galahad's HammerEdit
The Earthshaker is a relic of the roundtable, and once one possesses it, they're unable to wield a different weapon and none can pick it up but them. The Eartshaker will only lose its link with the owner if they die or return it to its resting place after losing their fighting spirit. Leonardo Ornstein recently returned it after going in to retirement. Among the inns of Tilandre, word passes by that a legendary sailor, Papeye, knows the way to the resting place, and will take any crew brave enough for a hefty price.
Victoria Eldor's StashEdit
In her time, besides acquiring the Wynne Tome in a less publicized quest, she also founded the Des Knights to research old magical secrets. But one suspicious rumour has her tied into the legendary Phasma Nox group, after one chance meeting on her boat just before the revolution. If one were to search her private quarters and be skilled in detecting hidden runes, they may find a discreetly concealed combination behind one of the bookshelves that appears invisible until mana is projected over it.
In here resides a collection of private letters sent to various other royal family members, and a map leading to a cache off-shore. Presumably containing her Magitech equipment. It is likely this place is guarded by various nasty creatures and a few traps.
Tomb of Gawaiin, Godslayer BuriedEdit
Within what remains of the village of Alteros, Oscuri villagers sometimes speak of Godslayer, one of the few remaining Oscuri relics. Rumors say that after the Tomb of Gawaiin collapsed, Faylen Sakete died, the most recent possessor of the Godslayer, and that it was buried along with her corpse... They say that Korrin Sakete was a witness to his sister's death. Perhaps he knows the way?'
Wanderer's ValleyEdit
The Forest LurkerEdit
Lately, whispers have been travelling around Danarium and amongst several Ookami, of a creature far from human stalking the trees during the dark hours. While no one has any decisive proof of the creature, those travelling through the forest at night report hearing sharp rustling nearby as if they were being followed, not to mention the heavy, sickly breathing. The only evidence leading to the creature residing there are the strange animal tracks being found.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are the two things which are taking the whole technology segment of the newspapers these days, and people are seen to be making a great confusion between these two very different ideas. They are not the same thing, but the minor link between the two concepts is bringing this great confusion in the minds of the people. So we are writing this small article to make you understand the difference between the two technological ideas in a very simple and easy language. These two words come up when there is the idea of Big Data and analytics involved, and technology is seen to bring change throughout the world. In short if we have to describe the two terms; Artificial Intelligence is something by which a machine is able to perform some operations which we consider as a smart function whereas in the case Machine Learning, the machine is given the access to learning things automatically, without any kind of feed from humans, and do operations completely on its own.
We have been surrounded by Artificial Intelligence for quite a long time now. In Greek mythology, there have been some stories where there are mechanical men who used to copy the human behavior. Earlier European computers are seen as logical machines by the engineers because the computers could do basic arithmetic and store things in its memory. With the growth of technology and with our knowledge of how our minds work, the concept of artificial intelligence has also changed. Artificial intelligence has evolved itself from just doing mathematical calculations and mimicking human behavior to doing things exactly like a human. Devices with artificial intelligence have been put into two categories, one is the applied category, and the other is a general category. Applied artificial intelligence is more common in the business, we have seen devices designed to understand and trade stocks and shares, and autopilot feature also falls under this category. And the artificial intelligence in the general category is less common, and in theory, it is showing that it can literally handle any kind of task. And this is where the research and advancement are happening these days. Machine learning has come up depending on this general artificial intelligence concept. It is also called the subset of artificial intelligence, and this is the current status of the art of technology where the work is going on.
The things which led to the development of machine learning and to carry on the concept of artificial intelligence further with the speed by which it was growing are - the realisation by Arthur Samuel in 1959 that it would be better to teach the computers to learn things by itself rather than just feeding each and every thing in the chip of the computers. And the other one is - the need of internet and the huge amount of data that has to be made available on the internet. If the machines can learn things by itself, it will automatically make information available for people without waiting for the humans to upload the information on the internet. Engineers found it more easy to teach the computers to learn things by itself and make the data available on the internet rather than uploading data on the internet by ourselves which is a slow and lengthy process.
The application of Neural Network is the key here to execute the whole process of machine learning. Neural Networks will help the computers to think, understand and do things just like a human being but with their own innate advantages of speed, accuracy and unbiased nature. The neural network is a system which is designed in such a way that it becomes easier to classify things like how human brains are capable of doing. This system will help the computers to read an image and classify each and every thing present in the image. The whole system works on the basis of probability. Based on the data fed to the machine, the machine can give out statements, predictions, and decisions with a certain amount of surety. The system also has a feedback loop which helps in learning. It can sense and tell the machine whether the decision is right or wrong and helps the machine to modify the decisions it will be taking in the future. Machine learning allows the computer to read the text and also judge whether the text is a complaint or a compliment. Machine learning will also help the computers to listen to music and say whether the music is in a happy context or a sad context, and it can also search for some more music which has the same mood. It can even compose a different music based on the same theme and with the same words used in the music which it has just listened.
There are no limitations to the possibilities of a system which is based on machine learning and neural networks. The idea has emerged now to a point where you can communicate with your computer just like you communicate to a human being in front of you. The Natural Language Processing is another part of Artificial Intelligence which has come up to the surface just to make the communication between a human being and a computer completely natural and easy flowing. There are many NLP applications available, which helps the computers to understand the words written or spoken by human beings, and reply the human being with a suitable answer with the help of the natural language. Machine learning will help the computers to understand the subtle differences in the dialect which are seen from individual to individual and give a reply to it, which the listener can comprehend to. Artificial intelligence and recently the machine learning has a lot of things to offer. The promise of doing the everyday things automatically and with some creativity, industries like banking, healthcare, and manufacturing are reaping the facilities it is providing.

Wrinkles are a natural process of aging bit in some cases leads to folds of jawling making you look saggy. However, according to Dr. Kamani, a Vancouver-based aesthetic doctor who specializes in fat reduction, Facial revitalization and skin care, slowing down the sag can be as simple as choosing the correct skin care products.
"There are some great, medically proven topical products that can help boost collagen production, as well as vitamin C serums, which help to restore elasticity," says Dr. Roz Kamani, "We've just started carrying a new one in our office—SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier."
H.A. Intensifier is a corrective serum proven to amplify the skin's hyaluronic acid levels. This unique formula contains a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid, as well as botanical extracts of licorice root and purple rice to support the skin's hyaluronic acid levels, which helps improve the visible appearance of firmness, smoothness, and facial plumpness.
"This is an ideal solution for people who use dermal fillers," says Dr. Kamani. "Incorporating this hyaluronic acid serum into your skin care routine can help round out your daily regimen."
Benefits of SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier
- Amplifies skin's hyaluronic acid levels by 30%
- Reduces the look of crow's feet, nasolabial folds (parenthesis around the mouth or laugh lines), and marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth down to chin) for smoother, firmer skin
- Delivers long lasting hydration to visibly improve skin's texture
- Unique serum-gel texture format creates a smooth canvas on skin
- Paraben- and dye-free, ideal for all skin types
- Can be used as home care after having dermal fillers (always consult with a physician first)
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that plays an important role in maintaining skin moisture," explains Dr. Kamani. "With age, the skin's ability to produce hyaluronic acid decreases. Production starts to decline in the 20s and this decline accelerates in the 40s. Decreased production and rapid degradation of hyaluronic acid contributes to the signs of aging, including decreased firmness, less facial plumpness, and rough texture."
In a 12-week clinical study, H.A. Intensifier significantly improved the appearance of key aging indicators:
- 23% improvement in plumpness
- 9% decrease in sagginess
- 11% improvement in firmness
- 13% improvement in elasticity
- 18% improvement in texture
"The product is easy to use," explains Dr. Kamani. "Just apply 4 to 6 drops in your palm and apply to the face, using swift outward motions, twice a day. When you're applying it in the morning, remember to use in conjunction with a good sunblock."
