I've been PvPing for a while now and of all the things wrong with PvP right now (mainly, surprise surprise, imbalance which has driven away a huge portion of the PvP base) I'd have to say that trying to get any fragments is hands down the worst part about it. I can deal with a few OP players. There are people who are going to do well on whatever class they play, so whatever. However, if the biggest difference between the top players and everyone else are their fragments, then it just feels worse than it already is. Beside the fact that fragments are of themselves just awful (please get rid of RNG progression), War fragments drop so rarely that you'll never be able to catch up with the people who have been PvPing since 4.0 launch. What's worse is that, of all the fragments that you will get, the vast majority will be T5/6 common fragments. Even with ~58% win rate I just can't get nearly enough caches to be able even kind of progress on them. I've gotten over a hundred war fragments, and maybe 2 of them are kind of okay and everything else is endurance/max health and T5/6, or mystical vs martial. You can't buy war fragments. You can't roll for a specific planar war fragment. If you don't already have them you'll never be able to catch up.
Please remove fragment bolstering. At the very least, tune the drop rates and improve the rates of getting fragments that are actually good, by a lot. Maybe add in War Fragment Stashes to buy with favor. Or maybe PvP would even be ok without fragments at all, who knows. Something needs to be done, though.

Protesters Supporting Mumtaz Qadri make damage worth Rs150 million to public propertyNews
The authorities have estimated loss to public infrastructure at nearly Rs150 million due to destruction at the hands of participants of a pro-Mumtaz Qadri sit-in that continues at D-Chowk.
Almost 100,558 inter-city commuters, according to a Punjab Metrobus Authority (PMA) estimate, were affected as the service remained suspended throughout the day.
On Sunday night, when police tried to stop the protesters from advancing towards D-Chowk they turned violent.
Parade Ground Station of the Metro Bus Service located on Jinnah Avenue was completely ransacked by the protesters, while heavy power generators and other installments were also set on fire.
Meanwhile, attendance at government and private offices located in and around the Red Zone remained considerably thin on the first working day of the week.

Exploring density by the square kilometer reveals as much variation within cities as between them—and shows that raw statistics can be deceptive.
Density is one of the most important urban characteristics. A high-density city like New York looks, feels, and functions differently than a low-density city like Des Moines. Yet the textures of density within a single city can be just as varied as average densities between cities. Pockets of intense concentration or islands of relatively thin settlement sometimes bear little resemblance to the overall density of an urban area.
Since most people experience a city at the scale of a neighborhood or district, rather than the scale of metropolitan regions, paying attention to these fine-grained variations in urban form is more useful than broad-stroke statistics for understanding the everyday realities of population density. A new visualization I've put together helps picture these local patterns by examining density in American cities one square kilometer at a time. (Technically, these rectangles are 30 arc-second cells, which are roughly, but not exactly, one square kilometer.) This perspective lets us drill down to the micro-geography of density in American cities, with oftentimes surprising results, as in the densest grid cell of greater Salt Lake City (below), which isn't high-rises but mobile home parks.
Salt Lake City
Most statistics that try to capture a single average measure, after all, tell us fairly little about spread or distribution. Consider economic indicators: If we know that the average income in a country is, say, $55,000, we don't know anything about whether that country has a lot of middle-class earners or whether it's polarized between extreme wealth and extreme poverty.
The same problem holds with density. Imagine one city where 50,000 people live in a 5-square-kilometer superblock of high-rises, surrounded by 20 square kilometers of parks, and another city where 50,000 people live in 25 square kilometers of low-density single-family homes. Both cities would have an average density of 2,000 people per square kilometer, but their actual morphologies could hardly be more different.

Kitchen Basics: Chicken Salad
This January my message for everyone is simple: get back into the kitchen. If you read my last blog entry you'll see that I'm not a big fan of diets, especially the post-holiday-super-restrictive-can-only-eat-lettuce-and-ice-chips types of diets. So instead of recommending diets I hope to help you by teaching you techniques and recipes that can be foundations for getting you back in the kitchen. To teach techniques for building healthy habits that last much longer than the short lived effects of harsh diets.
So for this week I wanted to share a very simple recipe for my favorite chicken salad. It's something we like to keep around the house. So, rather than purchasing pre-made chicken salad try to be better to your body by making it! Check out this super easy duo of recipes for two kinds of chicken salad. And if you would rather watch a video rather than keep reading then head over to my YouTube page to watch how to make it. Just click here!
The genius behind these recipes is that you can use a roasted chicken you purchase from the store, leftover grilled or roasted chicken or simply roast off some bone in and skin on breasts while you are doing other things around the house (45 minutes at 400 with olive oil and salt will do it!). Then you just add a handful of other ingredients and you have a delicious chicken salad you can enjoy for a couple of days over some greens! Easy, peasy and allergy adaptable.
Happy, Healthy Eating!

Chicken Salad Two Ways
Free from the Top-8 Allergens
Makes 6 Servings
- 3 cooked chicken breasts, roasted and chopped
- ½-3/4 c allergy friendly mayonnaise
- ½ c chopped celery
- ½ lemon, juiced
Mix this all together and season with salt and pepper, as desired.
Add to the above ingredients:
- 1/4 c. currants
- 1 T. curry powder
- 2-3 T. finely sliced green onions
- zest from 1 lemon
- 1/4 c. minced fresh dill or 2 T. dried
I especially love the curry chicken salad and often find myself enjoying it over some arugula or some chopped romaine lettuce with some toasted nuts or seeds on top. I hope you find yourself making this for yourself or your family instead of purchasing!

- Healthy Weight Secret
How to Develop Self-Confidence
One of the things that keeps people from developing and changing life is the fear of failure and the lack of self-confidence to overcome this fear. The question is how to overcome fear? It is necessary to develop and gain self-confidence. There are 25 tips for gaining confidence.
All these methods are not revolutionary, but they are effective. The list is certainly not exhaustive. And you don't have to do everything as if it's a recipe ... choose those tips that you like best and try them.
So, tips on developing self-confidence:
1. Find your soul mate. Often, the closest person can bring joy and confidence to your life, support you in difficult times.
2. Change the style of clothing. If you are well dressed and presentable, you will feel accordingly. Dress so that every day you like yourself 100% and periodically change the style of clothing. You don't have to wear a suit for $ 500, you can wear casual clothes that look nice and presentable, sometimes you'll be happy with new clothes.
3. Look at yourself. Stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself. Try to find what you like, and vice versa, what you would like to remove. Now try using your hair, makeup or clothes to make your strengths in your appearance or figure more pronounced and make your weaknesses less noticeable. If you do not know how to do this, read the advice of experts on the Internet, see how famous people of your type dress up.
4. Think positively. You can only change one thing in yourself, and your whole life will change. Try to change your mindset. Try to look at yourself and the world around you with a new look, more calm and positive. Now it's popular to read about the power of thought, as it really works. Do not judge either yourself or others. Accept yourself and others as they are, and try to see positive points in everything.
5. Become a person. You must learn to think, speak and act independently. Many people have patterned thinking or collective thinking. Try to stand out from the crowd and confidence will grow in you. Learn to defend your point of view or the ability to insist on your own.
6. Get to know yourself. To defeat the enemy you need to know him well. You cannot conquer fear without knowing it, without looking into its eyes. Keep a diary about yourself and your thoughts, try to be honest with yourself. Then analyze all the thoughts and events of the last days, weeks, perhaps you will see a causal relationship. And then start thinking positively about yourself, about the changes that you want to make in yourself. Think about what is stopping you from changing or taking a new step, are these restrictions real or are they just invented by you.
7. Not only think, but act. In addition to positive thinking, you must activate it. Acting is the key to developing self-confidence. First you learn to think positively, after that your actions change. You are what you do, and therefore, if you change what you do, you will change what you are.
8. Be kind and generous. Being kind to others is a powerful way to improve self-esteem. You start to feel good, thinking that you are a good person.
9. Know your principles and goals. Do you have principles? What principles is your life built on? What are you aiming for? If you can not easily answer these questions, then think about who you are, why you are in world. A principled person is a confident person. Someone who knows the short-term and long-term goals of his life is a successful and complete person.
10. Speak slowly and clearly. Such a simple thing, but it can influence how others perceive you. Strong people speak calmly and slowly, they are confident in themselves. Try to work with your speech, because almost all people have pauses and hitches (uh, umm, etc.), remove them, as well as the words (well, like, here). Also, say what you think and think what you say.
11. Improve posture. Try to always keep your back straight, do not slouch.
When you walk with a flat back, when you look forward and not to the ground, it gives you confidence, and also it looks good from the outside. Rehearse in front of the mirror, improve not only your posture, but also your mood and even well-being.
12. Set a small goal and reach it. People often make the mistake of setting very high goals for themselves, and then, when they fail, they lose heart. Instead, set yourself more realistic goals and try to reach them. With each victory you will gain confidence in yourself.
13. Change some habits. Try not to tackle one big habit, such as smoking. And engage in small habits, for example, waking up 30 minutes earlier than usual or leaving work on time. Something small that you know exactly what you can do. Do this for a month. When you achieve a result, you will feel much better than when you first began to change yourself.
14. Focus on solutions. If you like to complain or focus on your problems, then change it right now. Start focusing on problem solutions, not the problems themselves. If your mind is "I'm lazy" how can this help you? Begin to think "Where can I get energy and how to waste available energy less."
15. Smile. Try to start to smile more often. Everything in your life is not as bad as you you think, and there is always a reason to smile or rejoice. Be joyful and positive. By this you will help not only yourself, but also those around you.
16. Be grateful. Be thankful for what you have in life, what others have given you. Be sincerely grateful and people will feel it in you.
17. Self-education. Investing in yourself is one of the best strategies for building self-confidence. You can do it in different ways, but one of the most reliable ways to expand your capabilities is through knowledge. The Internet is an excellent tool, but there are also books, magazines, and educational institutions.
18. Watch yourself. Notice how you gesture, move, how you stand. Look in the eyes of the interlocutor. Do you interrupt the interlocutor. Do you like to give advice to others, while complaining about your life? Be honest with yourself and then a lot can change.
19. Get active. Doing something is always better than not doing anything. Of course, by doing something, you can fail or make a mistake ... but mistakes are part of life, we learn from mistakes. Without overcoming mistakes and problems, we will never become strong. So do not worry about them. Just start doing something - sports, creativity, doing your own thing, raising children, traveling, learning a foreign language - whatever you want, as long as your life has a meaning and is filled with new colors.
20. In the forefront. Often people try to occupy a place in the last rows - like it is a lecture, a presentation or a meeting. This is caused by a subconscious fear of being noticed. Conquer such a desire and develop the habit of constantly sitting down in the first or, in extreme cases, in the second row.
21. Establish contacts. Learn to communicate, first make contact, establish new acquaintances. This will help to relax, gain more self-confidence and expand the circle of friends, and therefore opportunities.
22. Public speaking. Public speaking helps to develop self-confidence. Most people try to wriggle out of them, do not be afraid to ask questions to others.
23. No comparisons with others. It makes no sense to compare yourself with others and engage in self-sufficiency. Compare only yourself today with yourself yesterday.
24. Praise each other. Unfortunately, we hear praise and compliments to our address very often, although, we all deserve it. Our confidence suffers greatly from this. Be the first to say compliments and praise the other, and this will return to you.
25. Spiritual practice. Spiritual practice will help not only to deal with your fears and self-doubt, but also to know yourself and the goals of life, to find peace and harmony in life, to work with your character.
Some advices may seem useful to you, some not. The main thing is to start doing something, start changing and start a new life. Try it and you will definitely be able to develop self-confidence, and most importantly, change yourself and your life!

A team of seismologists has developed a new measurement of seismic energy release that can be applied to large earthquakes. Called the Radiated Energy Enhancement Factor (REEF), it provides a measure of earthquake rupture complexity that better captures variations in the amount and duration of slip along the fault for events that may have similar magnitudes.
Magnitude is a measure of the relative size of an earthquake. There are several different magnitude scales (including the original Richter scale), with the "moment magnitude" now the most widely used measure because it is uniformly applicable to all sizes of earthquakes. The seismic energy released in an earthquake can also be measured directly from recorded ground shaking, providing a distinct measure of the earthquake process. Earthquakes of a given magnitude can have very different radiated seismic energy.
Researchers at UC Santa Cruz and California Institute of Technology (Caltech) devised REEF in an effort to understand variations in the rupture characteristics of the largest and most destructive earthquakes, such as the 2004 Sumatra earthquake (magnitude 9.2) and 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan (magnitude 9.1).
REEF is measured by the ratio of the earthquake's actual measured radiated energy (in seismic waves recorded around the world) to the minimum possible energy that an event of equal seismic moment and rupture duration would produce.
If the rupture is jerky and irregular, it radiates more seismic energy, especially at high frequencies, and this indicates frictional conditions and dynamic processes on the fault plane during rupture, said study co-author Thorne Lay explained, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences at UCSC.
A map summarizing the new REEF measure of seismic energy for events around the Pacific Ring of Fire shows the regional patterns indicating earthquake rupture character is affected by persistent features that differ from region to region. Credit: Ye et al., Science Advances, 2018
The researchers made systematic measurements of REEF for 119 recent major earthquakes of magnitudes 7.0 to 9.2. They found clear regional patterns, with some subduction zones having higher REEF ruptures on average than other zones.
"This indicates, for the first time, that energy release is influenced by regional properties of each fault zone," said Lay.
The precise cause of some regions radiating higher energy in an event of given size is still under investigation, but may be linked to regional differences in the roughness of the faults, in the fluid distributions on the faults, or in the sediments trapped in the fault zone, he said.
Further research using REEF could help seismologists achieve a better understanding of earthquake mechanics and earthquake hazards around the world.

The Drowsy Chaperone, with book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, is a parody of the American musical comedy genre of the 1920s. The story concerns a middle-aged, asocial musical theatre fan; as he plays the record of his favorite musical, the (fictional) 1928 hit The Drowsy Chaperone, the show comes to life onstage as he wryly comments on the music, story, and actors. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight. Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. It is sure to wow audiences of all ages!

Every year Christmas brings joy and happiness to our home. It also brings an over abundance of toys when added to the ones you already have usually leaving little space for the little ones to enjoy their new toys. So we explained to the kids that in order for "Santa" to bring them new toys that they needed to make room for them. At first the kids weren't thrilled with the idea of getting rid of their toys but we explained to them that at the end they would be proud of helping others. We started with 5 boxes. We started by writing Broken, Donate, Missing pieces, Outgrown and Favorite on the boxes. This helped us as we went along to stay focused and organized. We went through the toys and started by throwing away any toys that had gotten broken through out the year and were unable to be played with or used for other projects. As we went along anytime they found one of their toys that they constantly play with they got to put it in their Favorite box. Then we moved on to any toys that were missing pieces. Usually even if toys are missing pieces they can be used for other things such as arts and crafts, school projects or sometimes someone has the pieces that are missing and are looking for them. Next we go through any toys that the kids have outgrown. These got into the box but are only there for a little while until we go through them again to see what toys can be put away until younger siblings can enjoy them or if there is no younger sibling we put them in our Donate box. Preschools and Day cares can give your kids toys that they have outgrown a great new home and will be enjoyed by many other children. There are many resources out there today such as Craigslist.org and Freecycle.org that allow you to post your "unwanted" items. Many times our kids outgrown their toys before they even look used. There are a lot of kids who would love and appreciate to get second-hand toys for presents and give new homes to out grown toys. When all of the toys are gone through we let the kids know how proud we are of them. And explain to them that Santa will be doing a toy pick up on December 1st. All of the toys that the kids are donating are left out at night for "Santa" to come pick up and drop off for other kids to enjoy on Christmas. The kids feel like special Santa elves and their favorite part is knowing that they will be putting smiles on other kids faces on Christmas.

I absolutely love kids and if I could I would have many more! Today I had the pleasure of baby sitting my 15 month old niece, Samantha. Let me tell you what a ball it was. I also remember things that it is "impossible" to do with babies! Keeping socks on their feet is impossible. And trust me those cold feet are sure to find your warm body and send you into shock. It's a battle I gave up after 10 times of playing put on take off. And you can bet we played that game with the diaper too! We resorted to the comfy footsie jammies! These were sure to keep the diaper on and feet warm! No matter how hard you baby proof your house they will find that one thing that you missed. Babies always find the littlest thing funny and it will keep them laughing for a long period of time! Something as little her sneezing kept her laughing for a good 20 minutes! Of course it wasn't just a sneeze. The sneeze was just the start of a chain of events. Her sneeze which was one of those little cute baby sneezes caused smiles but then started the giggling. Apparently, giggling leads to a hiccup which leads to more giggling which causes another hiccup. Can you see where I am going with this? Exactly Laughing! And this kept her and myself entertained for a good twenty minutes! This little girls knows what she wants and will tell you from being hungry to taking her nap. I thought nap time would be interesting and that she would put up a fight so imagine my surprise when she took me to her stroller and wanted in. All snug in her stroller with her snuggie she started singing, so I started to sing Rock-a-Bye-Baby and in less than 5 minutes she was out! I remember fighting to get my youngest daughter (now 31 months) to take her nap! She did everything possible to avoid nap time. Unless she was with Grammy and then forget it she was a perfect angel and went right to sleep. But that is the magic of the "Grammy" Kids don't need 1000's of different toys. They are going to pick one or two toys that will be their favorite. Let me warn you these are going to be the loudest, most annoying toys possible. And it will be their favorite toy for that reason until they get older and notice how much it drives you crazy hearing the same saying over and over and over again. It will then become their choice of torture to drive you out of your mind. This goes the same for their favorite show or movie that they need to watch over and over again until they either wear the tape/dvd out or it magically grows legs and goes for a walk and gets lost. My mom used to tell me that my sister would watch The Night They Saved Christmas everyday, all year long. My parents taped it for her while on tv around Christmas time. Back when VHS were cool, before dvds or Tivo was even thought of being invented, so you know the commercials were recorded as well. One HOT day in July or August my sister is of course watching her favorite VHS when the breaking news section of a Blizzard hitting the TriState area. My mom only hearing parts of the segment mostly the Blizzard and TriState area not realizing that it was the tape and did the whole double take what the heck thing, Snow in the Summer. She then realized it was indeed the tape and that it was time for it to get lost. At the time I thought it was the funniest thing, Now as a mom myself its NOT so funny. Kids are miracles and will keep us occupied and drive us crazy for years….GUARENTEED!

Garrycastle 7-16 The Downs 0-7
The Juniors kept alive their chances of reaching the knock-out stages of the championship with this emphatic win over the home team in The Downs last Friday. With several players absent due to injuries and holidays, Garrycastle introduced some younger players and it took a while for the new formation to settle. The Downs led by 0-5 to 0-2 after 15 minutes but gradually Garrycastle began to get a foothold. They kicked a succession of points and struck a vital blow just before the break when Alan Daly found the net, to give his team a lead of 1-9 to 0-5. The Downs reduced the deficit just after half time but two quick points from sub Robbie Shine and a second goal by Alan Daly put Garrycastle firmly in the driving seat. Daly continued to torment The Downs' defence and soon got his third goal and then set up Frank Farrell for another major. He also managed to hit the crossbar on four occasions, while The Downs were similarly unlucky on two occasions at the other end. The final ten minutes saw Garrycastle score at will and more goals from Shine (2) and sub Padraig Cosgrove sealed victory.
Garrycastle had a nice blend of youth and experience and the leadership provided by John O'Shaughnessy, Noel Galvin, Damien Rushe and the flying Alan Daly was always evident. Even more satisfying was the contribution of the younger players. Mark Curley and Ronan Donohue have already shown their prowess at this level and continue to improve with every game, while Cian White, Frank Farrell and Terry Rushe served notice that it won't be long before they'll be battling for places on the senior team.
GARRYCASTLE: Shane O'Connell. Gary Mullery, Cian White, Stephen McGuire, Frank Farrell (1-0), John O'Shaughnessy, Ronan Donohue, Noel Galvin (0-2, 1 free), Mark Curley, Terry Rushe (0-2), Damien Rushe (0-3), Enda Keena (0-2), Emmet Keena, Alan Daly (3-2), Paul O'Donovan (0-2).
SUBS: Robbie Shine (2-3) for Emmet Keena; Padraig Cosgrove (1-0) for O'Donovan; Emmet Keena for Daly.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
What Is the Tarsal Tunnel?
The tarsal tunnel is a narrow space that lies on the inside of the ankle next to the ankle bones. The tunnel is covered with a thick ligament (the flexor retinaculum) that protects and maintains the structures contained within the tunnel—arteries, veins, tendons, and nerves. One of these structures is the posterior tibial nerve, which is the focus of tarsal tunnel syndrome.
What Is Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a compression, or squeezing, on the posterior tibial nerve that produces symptoms anywhere along the path of the nerve running from the inside of the ankle into the foot. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs in the wrist. Both disorders arise from the compression of a nerve in a confined space.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is caused by anything that produces compression on the posterior tibial nerve, such as:
- A person with flat feet is at risk for developing tarsal tunnel syndrome, because the outward tilting of the heel that occurs with "fallen" arches can produce strain and compression on the nerve.
- An enlarged or abnormal structure that occupies space within the tunnel can compress the nerve. Some examples include a varicose vein, ganglion cyst, swollen tendon, and arthritic bone spur.
- An injury, such as an ankle sprain, may produce inflammation and swelling in or near the tunnel, resulting in compression of the nerve.
- Systemic diseases such as diabetes or arthritis can cause swelling, thus compressing the nerve.
Patients with tarsal tunnel syndrome experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- Tingling, burning, or a sensation similar to an electrical shock
- Numbness
- Pain, including shooting pain
Symptoms are typically felt on the inside of the ankle and/or on the bottom of the foot. In some people, a symptom may be isolated and occur in just one spot. In others, it may extend to the heel, arch, toes, and even the calf.
The foot and ankle surgeon will examine the foot to arrive at a diagnosis and determine if there is any loss of feeling. During this examination, the surgeon will position the foot and tap on the nerve to see if the symptoms can be reproduced. He or she will also press on the area to help determine if a small mass is present.
Non-surgical Treatment
A variety of treatment options, often used in combination, are available to treat tarsal tunnel syndrome. These include:
- Rest. Staying off the foot prevents further injury and encourages healing.
- Ice. Apply an ice pack to the affected area, placing a thin towel between the ice and the skin. Use ice for 20 minutes and then wait at least 40 minutes before icing again.
- Oral medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, help reduce the pain and inflammation.
- Immobilization. Restricting movement of the foot by wearing a cast is sometimes necessary to enable the nerve and surrounding tissue to heal.
- Physical therapy. Ultrasound therapy, exercises, and other physical therapy modalities may be prescribed to reduce symptoms.
- Injection therapy. Injections of a local anesthetic provide pain relief, and an injected corticosteroid may be useful in treating the inflammation.
- Orthotic devices. Custom shoe inserts may be prescribed to help maintain the arch and limit excessive motion that can cause compression of the nerve.
- Shoes. Supportive shoes may be recommended.
- Bracing. Patients with flatfoot or those with severe symptoms and nerve damage may be fitted with a brace to reduce the amount of pressure on the foot.
When is Surgery Needed?
Sometimes surgery is the best option for treating tarsal tunnel syndrome. The foot and ankle surgeon will determine if surgery is necessary and will select the appropriate procedure or procedures based on the cause of the condition.

Local schools will share in a $515 million in the single largest boost to school maintenance ever undertaken, thanks to an unprecedented investment by the Andrews Labor Government.
The investment will more than double funding for maintenance at Victoria's state schools over the next two financial years, with more than $300 million to be invested in 2019/20 and $290 million in 2020/21.
State Members of Parliament Colin Brooks, Danielle Green and Vicki Ward welcomed $3.8 million in funding to support 38 schools across the north east.
The funding will enable local state schools to do essential works such as painting, replacing carpet and windows, landscaping, tree inspections and maintenance of infrastructure like septic systems and water services.
This increased investment will assist principals to get on with the job of leading Victoria's schools, by providing more funds to maintain the state's 36,000 school buildings, while supporting schools to cater to the 115,000 additional students who are expected to enter the education system over the next five years.
The package complements the Labor Government's recent initiatives to support schools to manage and maintain their facilities, including the Rolling Facilities Evaluation and the rollout of maintenance plans for each school.
The Andrews Labor Government is investing $170.5 million in emergency and incident response over five years, including an extra $57.8 million to address issues such as septic system failure, termite damage, mould, roof and floor damage, and $76.4 million to respond to unforeseen incidents and events such as storms, fire or flooding.
Schools in some of the state's highest-risk bushfire areas will also have access to more funds to ensure they are 'bushfire ready', thanks to $44.2 million over five years for fire preparedness activities like vegetation removal.
Quotes attributable to Member for Yan Yean Danielle Green
"Sometimes the little things can make a big difference. Whether it's a new coat of paint or replacing carpets – this investment will help local students get the most out of their education in a safe, maintained and modern school."
Quotes attributable to Member for Eltham Vicki Ward
"Diamond Valley Special Development School is a terrific local school which works incredibly hard to get the best educational outcomes for their students – this funding is a great help in maintaining their buildings."

If we look back a decade from now, we find that mobiles were used just to make and receive calls. That time, no one had ever thought that one some days mobiles would become the primary means of interaction for customers and businesses across the globe.
So, it would not be wrong if we say it as the most indispensable technology of our time that has touched every aspect of our lives.
Ever since the day Google rolled-out its mobile-friendly update, experts around the world started to say that mobile is the future which is turning out to be true. No doubt it is an era of smartphones, and different mobiles apps have made doing several things easier than ever.
Today, from leading organizations to startups, everyone has realized the power of smartphones. No wonder why businesses are investing in the development and testing of the mobile apps.
However, when compared with the testing to web-based applications, mobile apps testing are more challenging. An experienced company that offers mobile testing services accepts that mobile app testing is not a low hanging fruit. However, if it is done in a right manner, it can do wonders for business.
This post further explains 7 key challenges that companies face during mobile app testing, Read on!
As technology is constantly evolving, one of the key challenges faced by organizations when rendering mobile testing services includes different aspect ratios and pixel densities. So, rather putting too much load on developers, it is better to outsource mobile testing services to a professional agency. Professional mobile app testers know what they need to do to make all the elements accessible on different mobile devices of various screen sizes and aspect ratios.
Mobile network companies offer different standards for mobile data connections along with Wi-Fi. Also, at times, there might be no network connection or the device is in the flight mode. Still, some devices get connected without having a connection with a particular service. Thus, testing the mobile app for bandwidth usage is crucial because not all carriers support unlimited data volumes.
Another challenge that organization face during mobile app testing is the varying OS versions. In order to make your mobile app accessible by the users having different operating systems on their devices, it is important to ensure the app runs smoothly on every OS. Talking about OS like iOS and Android, they both are different, and the app should be developed and tested in a manner so that it could be smoothly accessed on both types of OS.
Now, this one is crucial. No matter how much you have spent in the development of your mobile app, if it is not usable, it is nothing but the waste of resources. Usability of a Mobile app defines its user experience. So, ask a professional agency that could take render mobile testing services because they know what it takes to increase the usability of a mobile app. Usability includes factors like screen orientation, clean and simple UI, display of necessary items, transitions, and others.
One more challenge that organizations face is the issue of productivity and efficiency. To solve this, leveraging automated testing is a good option and this can be achieved through cloud testing. Mobile testing in the cloud provides the much-required agility that one wants to get testing done quickly by controlling the budget.
In this, things like time zones, local settings, and languages are crucial. It is mainly associated with the testing for translation because many mobile apps are meant to be used in international markets. Thus, making the mobile app to support multiple languages is necessary to reach a bigger audience of different nations.
All the points as mentioned above describe the challenges of an organization. However, you can keep things under control if you outsource the mobile testing services rather get it done by developers.

Step Aside Coffee – Keurig Now Serving Cocktails [VIDEO]
I don't know about robots taking over for actual human bartenders anytime soon, but this is pretty darn close. You may start your mornings with your Keurig coffee maker, now you can kick off the night with a new Keurig machine - one that makes cocktails.
Say hello to the Drinkworks Home Bar. Reports indicate Keurig first introduced this machine last year in St. Louis. If you are familiar with Keurig coffee makers, you have probably already guessed that the cocktail and beer flavors come in pods - and there are a lot of them. Drinks available are as follows,
- Cosmopolitan
- Gin & Tonic
- Daiquiri
- Lime Vodka Soda
- Long Island Iced Tea
- Margarita
- Strawberry Margarita
- Mojito
- Old Fashioned
- Red Sangria
- White Wine Peach Sangria
- White Russian
- Mai Tai
- Stella Artois Cidre
- British Classic Flights
- Beck's Classic Flights
According to Drink Works, each pod contains the alcohol already. Mind blown. The brand is sure to point out that each pod contains high quality liquor and natural flavors that are measured perfectly. The machine costs $299, pods are $3.99 each.
With all good news, comes bad news right? Unfortunately we here in Michigan cannot order this glorious machine yet. Ugh - this is pure BS! If you do know someone in Missouri, they could get you one. They will be available in Florida and California sometime next year.
I guess we are SOL as of now, fingers crossed that I use one of these margarita making machines in my lifetime. Hey a girl can dream can't she?

Kristen Stewart Looks Focused On Set — Robert Pattinson Struggles Over?
K-Stew hit the Berlin streets on Sept. 5 looking confident and in control on the set of her upcoming movie 'Sils Maria.' The sexy actress has struggled getting over her breakup with Robert Pattinson, but are all of her long days filming — in a distant land — finally doing the trick?
It seems that getting over a bad breakup might actually be easier to do when you're extremely busy on a totally different continent. Just look at Kristen Stewart!
Kristen Stewart In The Zone On 'Sils Maria' Set
The 23-year-old actress was spotted on the set of her new movie, Sils Maria, and was showing no signs of feeling downcast, instead looking totally focused on the task at hand.
She also looks like she's picking up a few fashion tips from being in Europe, creating a hybrid with her usual California hipster style. The actress looked stunning in a black sleeveless dress and a pair of red, low-top Vans. Classy and casual, as always!
Kristen Stewart: Happier Than Ever In Berlin
Kristen has really kicked her acting career into high gear recently. After working in Los Angeles on the military drama, Camp X-Ray, she's decamped to Berlin, Germany for this project, and all that work has actually helped her heal from her Robert Pattinson split.
Being in a foreign country like Germany has also helped, a source close to K-Stew told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "Kristen is the happiest she's been in a long time," the source said. "She feels a sense of freedom being in Berlin and is having a really fun time on the set and just exploring the city and the countryside."
It's great to see Kristen making a turnaround and finding her independence. What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

STUDENTS dumped more than 130 tonnes of rubbish after moving out of houses in south Birmingham this year.
The mountain of trash was collected in Selly Oak during June and July after the latest crop of students cleared out rented accommodation in the popular university district.
The Selly Oak Caretaker Society and The University of Birmingham Housing Services and Guild carried out the clean-up with funding from the Selly Oak Ward Community Chest and the Fire Reduction Partnership.
Teams from the West Midlands Fire Service and West Midlands Police also carried out a survey of the area to find items left behind in front gardens or skips that could be targets for arsonists.
Marcia Greenwood, neighbourhood manager for the area, said: "The four-week programme shows neighbourhood management in action and identifies that partner agencies with similar objectives can work together to develop initiatives to combat this annual problem."
The programme, which is named In Waste Deep, holds the clean-up every year as students scour their digs and throw out unwanted items.
And it seems that in recent years the amount of rubbish being removed has been on the up, with 100 tonnes removed in 2007 and 121 tonnes of garbage taken away in 2008.
Earlier this year housing company Unite, which rents out purpose-built student accommodation, said its workers had found snakes, diving suits and skeletons among the bizarre items left behind when our city's scholars moved on.
Other booty found when students left their temporary accommodation included a fully-fitted pole dancing pole, an air hockey table, a tank of tropical fish and a whip alongside a copy of the Karma Sutra.
However, clean-up crews did report that the amount of typical student prizes found, like traffic cones, street signs and cardboard cut-outs had declined in 2009.
Other bizarre items left by students elsewhere included a life-size skeleton, a pair of budgies, a white pet rabbit, an outdoor inflatable pool, frozen chicken feet and a host of mobile phone chargers, iPods and toothbrushes.

Broadway Reopens at Church Avenue on Aug. 23
August 22, 2012
On Thursday, August 23, Broadway is scheduled to reopen between Church and Stone Avenues so engineers can redesign the new sewer line.
The Sun Link Tucson Streetcar construction team recently began the repair and replacement of the sewer line that extends across Broadway between Church and Stone Avenues, an area that has extensive, and in some cases dated, underground infrastructure.
As excavation began, it became apparent that some of the utilities that had been installed decades earlier were not actually placed in the locations shown on plans, or no plans existed for the utility placement. This means that the current design of the new sewer line conflicts with the existing underground utilities already in place, which include electric, gas and water lines, as well as fiber optic banks and drainage facilities. To install the new sewer line at the appropriate grade to function correctly, engineers must redesign the plans.
To lessen the impact to the traveling public, the Sun Link Tucson Streetcar construction team will reopen Broadway between Church and Stone Avenues on Thursday, August 23. When the exact location of all utilities has been identified and the required permits obtained for the new sewer design, the roadway will be closed again to construct the new sewer line.
The project team has determined this to be the most prudent action considering the extensive nature of unknown utility locations within this work area.

When upgrading your engine, it's vital to ensure that your brakes have the power to stop it.

The Eradispeed is a two-piece rotor. It will be a direct replacement for the factory rotor on your Performance Pack GT. There's also one available though for your non-performance pack and your EcoBoost Performance Pack cars as well. Like I said it's a direct replacement, so it's going to be a 15-inch rotor, and features a billet aluminum 6061 hat that is anodized black. The rotor itself is cross drilled, vented, and has these veins for better heat dissipation, and they're going to be lighter than your factory rotor as well. Everybody knows removing rotating mass is a great way to improve performance on your car.
Obviously, the installation is going to begin by removing the wheel. What you want to do is break the lug nuts free on the ground, and then put it up in the air and remove the wheel.
With the wheel off, we've got to remove the caliper next. The caliper is held on the bracket by two bolts: one bottom one down here, the other one up top here. Then slide the caliper off. The best place to put it is back here on the crossmember.
Now, depending on your situation, one of three things will happen here. In some cars, the rotors will come right off. Other cars, I actually have seen small little retaining washers you've just got to pop off with a set of vice grips or a small screwdriver. In the case of my car, the wheels I'm running have these hub-centered rings on here, so I have to pop the ring off first before my rotor's going to come off. With the ring off, now I can remove my rotor.
You can see the comparison between the stock rotor we just removed and our Baer Eradispeed Rotor. You can see the difference in the venting up here obviously, and then of course the veins, the cross- drill, the two piece versus one piece. Let's be honest, they look a lot better as well.
We're in our shipping department with one of our shipping scales here to show you the weight difference in the rotors. Here is the Stock Performance Pack Rotor, so 32.9 pounds. Now, the Baer Eradispeed, 22.5. You're talking over 10 pounds, almost a 10.5 pound weight difference, that's rotating mass off the front of your car. Both sides you're taking 20 pounds off the front of your Mustang.
Now we're ready to install the Eradispeed rotors on my 2015 GT. They are going to be labeled left and right, just want to make sure you put them on the correct side. If for whatever reason the sticker wasn't there, the veins are going to be facing forward when installed, so the opposite of rotation, basically.
The direct replacements just pop right on. Now I'll reinstall my ring, then we can reinstall our caliper. It's going to be a little bit easier maybe to start at the top, push it on there. Then we're going to repeat the process on the other side, and your installation's finished.
Once you have your new rotors on and your wheels are bolted on, you torque everything back to spec, you're ready to take it for a ride. Now what you want to do is you don't want to take these out and just beat on them immediately. There is a seasoning process with the rotors to make them work properly. What you want to do ... the detail process is covered in Baer's instructions, but the basics are going to be take the car out, drive it normally for about five to six days. You want to get several heat cycles through the rotor. You don't want to get it really hot or really cold, but you want to do some normal driving with it. After that, there's going to be a series of stops: 40 miles an hour to 15, 60 to 15, it's a whole series that you're going to do to properly season the rotor. If you don't do that, the rotor can get build-up on it, it can crack, it can damage. You definitely want to take the time to season them properly, especially with the investment on a rotor like this. You get lots of performance and it will last a long time.
In my opinion, the Baer Eradispeed Rotors are almost worth the upgrade just for the looks alone, as they look killer with the factory Brembo brakes. But add to the fact that they are 10 pounds lighter a piece and much better heat dissipation, you're going to get a performance upgrade as well. The installation is going to be very easy, take you probably less than an hour to do both sides, so you'll be back on the road in no time.

Will Janae Matute Receive Settlement from G.O.B.? P.M. Comments
And while the government is quite willing to assume the role of 'malpago' where the Ashcroft Group is concerned, it's taking a lot of heat where a long delayed payment for Janae Matute is concerned. Janae is the inspirational young second form student who was born with cerebral palsy, attributed to medical error. Way back in April, the Caribbean Court of Justice ruled that government was liable for payment of two point five million, but it hasn't happened. Janae's mother Georgia claims that it's not for lack of trying, but now the media has likely accomplished what she couldn't on her own. After the story ran Monday night, it appears that Janae will get her compensation. At least that's the commitment of the PM, who says that pay they must…and pay they will.
Prime Minister Dean Barrow
"I saw something on that some months ago, and I think what I saw was a notification that in fact the award had been confirmed, or that the bulk of it had been confirmed. And indeed as I recollect, I don't think it was just for purposes of information. I think I was required to agree that instalment payments should be negotiated and I seem to recollect having done that. There was a whole argument as to whether the doctor was really a servant of the government of Belize but the court has decided so we have to pay the money. You can't…it does go hard against us but it goes even harder against the poor child and the family. So I will now try to find out why it is that there has been no movement with respect to the negotiation of the instalment payment. I see that Mr. Lumor has said he is perfectly inclined, even though he said that would have to be approved by the Supreme Court, but whatever needs to be done let's get it done man so these people can start being compensated as they should be."
We'll keep following this story, and hope that when we report next, it's to tell you that Janae's family has started receiving money which they need for her care and treatment.

2013 Dodge Charger vs. 2013 Ford Taurus
Folks in Swift Current are excited about the loaded performance and striking design of the 2013 Dodge Charger at Crestview Chrysler, your certified Dodge dealer near Saskatoon. While there are a number of capable options for drivers looking for a full-size sedan, the Dodge Charger offers the convenience, safety, and entertainment of a large family car while also delivering an aggressive stance and serious power under the hood. Another model that many people consider is the 2013 Ford Taurus, so let's see how the 2013 Dodge Charger SXT and 2013 Ford Taurus SEL compare to each other.
Both the 2013 Dodge Charger and the 2013 Ford Taurus come with powerful standard engines, but the Charger tops the competition with a 3.6L V6 engine that touts a commanding 292 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. That's more than the Ford's 3.5L V6 with 288 hp and 254 lb-ft of torque.
Exterior Design
While the Taurus sports an attractive and refreshed exterior, including Ford's new grille design, the Dodge Charger features the classic look of an American muscle car along with modern touches of style. While the Taurus can hang in the same ballpark when it comes to the power of the base engines, the Charger looks simply downright menacing next to the Taurus. The Dodge features an aggressive stance with a wide wheelbase of 3,052 mm, 184 wider than the Ford. The silver wheels of the Charger are also more striking than the Taurus's painted wheels. Only the Dodge Charger can uphold the look of a serious muscle car along with the convenience of a large family sedan.
Inside the Cabin
The Charger SXT and the Taurus SEL both come standard with a host of modern features like Bluetooth, iPod/iPhone integration, satellite radio, and much more. However, the Dodge has a standard DVD player, a voice recorder, and its aluminum console and instrument panel inserts are nicer than the Ford's simulated carbon fibre versions.
Check Out the 2013 Dodge Charger
If you'd like to finance the 2013 Dodge Charger or would like to get inside the cockpit and test-drive it for yourself, then stop into Crestview Chrysler today. The dealership is located at 601 Albert Street in Regina. It's more than worth the two-and-a-half hour drive from Saskatoon for the great deals and stellar service you'll receive.

Make a holiday gift to the Christmas Bureau and give hope for the holidays and share the joy of the season
Ways to donate
We know that there are reasons why people are having a hard time, and that no one struggles without cause. From job loss to illness to mental health challenges and gender-based violence, the most vulnerable members of our community deserve our care and support.
The Christmas Bureau ensures that low-income families, individuals, and seniors living in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Lions Bay, and Bowen Island can participate in celebrating the holidays. Christmas Bureau recipients have an average annual household income of $16,858, and in 2018, the program supported nearly 1,800 people living in our North Shore community.
If you or your family would like to receive support from the Christmas Bureau, you can learn more about the Christmas Bureau here.
If you would like to volunteer with the Christmas Bureau, you can learn more here.
This volunteer-run program has two components:
The Toy Shop – where families can choose donated new toys and gifts for children ages 18 and under.
Holiday gift baskets – filled with grocery gift cards, wrapped presents for each family member, personal care necessities (such as toothpaste and soap), and other festive items which are generously provided by sponsors who are matched with qualified families and singles.
How it works
Trained staff and volunteers interview each applicant to ensure they qualify for support. Individuals must provide proof of income and residence, and show valid medical cards for each child in the household.
Families might include a single mom with young children, or an aging parent with dependent adult children. A family may also include a grandparent or older children who are living with a disability. Individuals could be people in their 20s, who are alone and struggling to make ends meet, or they may be older community members trying to get back on their feet after falling on hard times.
The Christmas Bureau supports all individuals, families, and seniors, as long as they live on the North Shore and qualify for our assistance.
The Christmas Bureau offers five ways for you to make a difference:
1. Make a financial gift
Your financial gift will help the Christmas Bureau staff and more than 200 volunteers operate the program during the holiday season. Your gift will guarantee that our team can provide individually-selected presents and holiday gift baskets for nearly 2,000 people in just a few short months. Your gift will also help train our volunteers and keep the lights on at the Toy Shop, so parents can select gifts from the heart for their children.
Gifts over $20 with receipts are eligible for a tax receipt.
2. Sponsor a family
Put a smile on a child's face this Christmas by sponsoring a family. Recruit the help of your family, friends, colleagues or community groups to provide holiday gift baskets for low-income individuals, families, and seniors.
Tell us the number of families, individuals, and seniors you would like to sponsor and we will match you with qualified applications. We'll provide the ages of each person, along with gift suggestions to guide your shopping. We will also send an information package that explains gift basket assembly and delivery.
Baskets include:
- A $50 grocery gift card for every member of the family. For example, a family of three would receive a total of $150 in grocery gift cards
- A wrapped gift for each family member. The baskets must contain only new items (gift receipts are appreciated) and we suggest each gift should cost $30-40
- Optional festive items such as chocolates, napkins, or candles can add extra holiday sparkle to the basket.
We are very careful with the gift baskets. They are collected and organized by a registration number and kept in a secure location for pick-up the following day. We respect and protect the privacy of each family receiving assistance and do not disclose sponsors' names to the families.
3. Make an in-kind donation
Christmas Bureau clients receive grocery gift cards, toiletries, personal care items, toys, wrapped donated gifts, and other basic essentials. There is a deep and ongoing need for these items, and your in-kind donation will ensure that vulnerable members of our community can celebrate the holiday season. The Christmas Bureau serves children 0 – 18 and tweens and teens are often harder to buy for. To help you get started, we have prepared a tween and teen wish list.
4. Drop-by the Toy Drive at the Northshore Auto Mall
Every year, our good friends at the Northshore Auto Mall host the Christmas Bureau Toy Drive. Families, businesses, and community groups drop off new, unwrapped gifts for children and teenagers in need, and then join us for a celebratory afternoon including kids' activities, hot chocolate, and family photos with Santa.
5. Support Bikes for Tykes
Each fall our partner, Obsession Bikes, solicits donations of used bikes to fix up for safe riding. The Christmas Bureau then identifies local children who need a bike and delivers a refurbished two-wheeler to them (along with a brand-new helmet) in time for the holidays. For more information email firstname.lastname@example.com

Wire Animals – Black Swan and a Pink Flamingo
by Kelly Tibbetts.
(Vero Beach, Fl)
This uses the same technique as the wire wrapped seahorses. I decided to do a black swan right after I watched the movie by that name.
The pink flamingo is for Florida. What better to represent Florida?
I've been trying to think of other animals and critters that would look good using these techniques. Any ideas?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your wire animals Kelly!
I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Possible ideas…turtle, gecko or salamander, peacock, starfish, frog, tree, bee, koala…
As I always say, sometimes bad ideas lead to good ideas, so hopefully these will inspire some good ideas 😉

Animal design
by: unquietdesign
A hedgehog would be perfect for that technique. I have two hedgies, and there aren't so many decent designs of them out there. Also, when you sell these animals, you could make a portion go to that particular animal's cause. When I buy a cat statue, figurine, piece of jewelry, etc., because I have cats, hedgies and hamsters, I often wonder if my money wouldn't help cats more by forgoing the trinket, and giving the money to a cat charity. BUT, if I can have the trinket and get money to the cause, then it's a win-win.
by: Anonymous
Good ideas, thanks. I've been working on a dog lover line where I want a portion of the proceeds to go to some charity for rescues or something similar. Our dog was rescued and she is the best doggie! I named my business for her, Black DOg Jewelry.
Very Cool

Love the flamingo! I'm a FL girl too.
How about a persian- or any long haired- cat?

It's Mead Time is an up close and personal look at mead, an adult beverage fermented with honey and water that dates back centuries, and its continuing rise in popularity throughout craft libations circles. Each month, together with Scott Neeley, Founder and mead maker at KingView Mead, we look to deliver news, information, and commentary about 'The Hero's Drink' and bring you plenty of reasons why mead should be added to your consumption list.
What Mead to Pair with Your Food, What Food to Pair With Your Mead
If you're like me (and 4 out of 5 people strive to be just that – #science), you love all of the elements a quality adult beverage brings with it. Inside the glass, there's magic happening with your liquid of choice, no doubt about it. But outside the glass, there's a bevy of experiences unfolding right before your very eyes. Couples connecting on a first date. Business deals progressing forward. Friends bonding over sports. Memorable experiences that can last a lifetime. And, of course, delectable foods from all over the world.
As long as people have been enjoying beer, wine, spirits, mead, you name it, they've taken on the task of finding the best food to pair with each. My earliest memories of food and beverage pairings found me at a wine and cheese pairing and this event in my early 20s sparked my interest for what potables complement delicious cuisine from all levels.
For the most part, my findings have centered around beer and wine. But recently, while helping my girlfriend move a piece of furniture, we started talking about what foods might pair best with mead (is it a sign of complex when you're moving furniture and all you can think about is eating and drinking?). I've seen many beer dinners, wine dinners, and pairing events featuring those libations over the years, but nothing that focused on mead.
As I thought about it more, I deduced mead's close relation to the wine family would probably lead to similar food pairings. But I didn't want to rest on my own assumptions, so I reached out to my buddy Scott Neeley at KingView Mead to learn more. And, as I predicted, Scott had a wealth of knowledge on the subject to send my way.
Below is a guide listing various meads from the KingView portfolio exemplifying specific styles and giving you some perfect food suggestions to pair with each. If you'd like to grab a particular bottle of the KingView product, simply click the photo and order direct from their website!
