Devil May Cry: DmC Secret Area's Gameplay Streamed (Video)
A new video from the upcoming DmC game instalment from the Devil May Cry franchise is currently being streamed on the official YouTube channel of Capcom Unity Videos. It is an almost 3-minutes long video with a hell lot of slashing and smashing of demons by the main character Dante.
As explained by the uploader, this is still a game in development so you shouldn't take it all too literally since a lot can be changed. The video is an in-game depiction of what the protagonist can make with the evil guys/gals/hermaphroditic beings in a secret dimension of the future release. According to the information, he will be transferred to such an area after finding out special portals.
The trailer can be seen below.
The video has great graphics and I am getting more and more excited about all this. Actually, to make you all feel comfortable, I have also thought that the design of Dante is odd an doesn't fit with my habits and understandings, however, let's give the staff a chance and enjoy what seems to be a very good action-filled game.
To remind you about the plot of this instalment: it depicts the life of Dante before the main story line. It will be playable on both Sony Play Station 3 and XBox 360.

how they asked
We went on vacation to see the mountains and hike after graduating. After 6 hours of hiking, we went to a new spot and found St.Mary's Glacier. We stopped by the lake to take a break and look at the mountains when he got on one knee and asked me to marry him. I used my tripod to capture the happiness after he asked and I wiped my tears.

DOUGLAS Sykalima says President Edgar Lungu will wail when he leaves office soon because his misdeeds are beyond what people can tolerate.
And Syakalima also says President Lungu can suppress the press but human beings will always sense evil.
Commenting on attempts by the government to silence The Mast and harassment of its director Mutinta Mazoka M'membe, Syakalima, the UPND Chirundu member of parliament, said President Lungu was hell bent on destroying the country's multiparty system.
"Let him be warned, he killed The Post and the Mast resurrected. He will want to kill The Mast, there will be another resurrection," Syakalima said.
"I want to warn him to leave The Mast alone. He killed The Post, he may want to kill The Mast. Something will resurrect. He may also want to kill individuals; after all in his name the police have killed, maimed, suffocated people with teargas, broken bones of human beings but Zambians are still there and they are still talking."
He said no one had ever managed to silence human beings.
"So Lungu must be warned: he is not the first dictator in Africa. He is not the first dictator in the world. Their ending is always bad. We have examples: Libya's Muammah Gaddafi, 41 years of dictatorship, he ended badly. Saddam Hussein's dictatorship, [he was] plucked like a frog from a manhole. There was a person who even called himself Emperor Bokassa, how did he end? Idi Amin called himself the conqueror of the British Empire; how did he end? And all these people that we are talking about, really they suppressed the press. Every dictator first of all suppresses the press so that the evils they do are not seen by people," Syakalima said. "To make matters worse for this little tin-pot dictator we have, he is also denying people life. The economy is bad, people are not feeding, they are suffering, the hospitals have no medicines and on top of that, you become a dictator! Normal dictators…like Gaddafi, they gave schools, they gave medicines, whatever, and this guy wants to get everything! He becomes a dictator and then leaves nothing for the people and then corruption creeps into his same dictatorship. That is why he must be warned. And for me this is not just a threat; it's a fact of history. And please for me, don't include that he warned President Edgar Lungu because I don't recognise him, okay? You can't criminalise an opinion."
He also advised Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia director Reverend Pukuta Mwanza, who last week said Hakainde Hichilema should recognise President Lungu, that he should seek explanation from the opposition party.
"Isn't it just plain? Even the way ECZ, especially the chairman [Esau Chulu] misbehaved even reading wrong numbers from Lundazi. And you want to force a person on people's throats! That Reverend Pukuta Mwanza, let him take his reverendship there," Syakalima said.
"Woo unto the PF, you thought you had kicked out the MMD. Yesterday (Sunday during Zambia vs Guinea game at Heroes Stadium), he was even with Rupiah Banda whom they condemned as a corrupt character and even removed his immunity and Given Lubinda was even saying he was going to drink his Gin and Tonic because the corrupt man, Rupiah's immunity has been removed. Today they are dinning together! They are all bloody corrupt characters! But what Lungu should understand is that while Rupiah Banda cried when he lost power and because he knew Sata was going to fix him, Edgar will wail; there will be wailing. At least Rupiah cried, but them they will be wailing because the atrocities that they have committed are beyond what the Zambians can tolerate; maiming people, sending the police to go and harass women, beating up women and then they become the aggressors! How can the victim become the aggressor?"
He gave examples of Mutinta, whom police harassed and arrested for allegedly tearing an arrest warrant for Dr M'membe.
"…following her in her own yard, beating her up, assaulting her even to the extent of actually tearing her dress, then you carry her and you say she assaulted a police officer and tore a warrant! How can a simple woman who didn't even have a plate in her hand and surrounded by guns assault an officer? I have in mind Lesa Kasoma who was harassed, beaten up and then she was taken, that she overpowered six armed policemen! So what nonsense is this? What is happening to this country?" Syakalima asked.
And Syakalima said Vice-President Inonge Wina must be ashamed that women were being brutalised while she remained silent.
"I feel pity for her…women are being harassed like that and she keeps quiet. I challenge her, one she is a women, she is a mother, she is a great grandmother and probably she is in the late afternoons of her life, what legacy is she going to leave as the first woman Vice-President in Zambia?" Syakalima asked.
She said Vice-President Wina should have been a role model for women and girls.
"Isn't she suffocating where she is today? Or is it the love of firm, power, money or wealth? I believe that even if she was not a Vice-President, she could have been eating three meals per day," Syakalima said. "I feel so sad that I see her to be in the place of such people: corrupt, murderers…and anything that you can talk about, that she is in the middle of such people yet she knows that we came from a different background."
He also said Vice-President Wina knew very well how Dr M'membe fought for her to be where she is today.
"Things must be told. We know all these things and then you put your back on such a person, not because M'membe is a criminal, no. You keep quiet when somebody is being harassed like that! I know M'membe can't say all those things, but us we will be saying them," Syakalima said.
He recalled that during a by-election in Chawama, UPND founder Anderson Mazoka tasked him and his colleagues to examine Edgar Lungu's suitability to be considered and all said he was not suitable.
"Anyway this time around Zambians never put him [in office]. The people around him imposed him on the Zambian people. This is why he is trying to buy legitimacy; running around this side, that side. He is begging to be recognised; who can recognise a person like that?" asked Syakalima.
"Even if the court had heard the petition and had ruled, because I now realise that even if they heard, they could have ruled that Edgar Lungu won; even if they had heard and ruled that Edgar Lungu had won, I personally would not have recognised him. I am convinced and no one should say 'you are a criminal because you are convinced'. How can you criminalise a conviction?" JC/News

Under 8 Black by Eddy Mitchell (Coach)
Round 6 and playing an undermanned South Croydon great sportsmanship was displayed by Jack, Ollie, Oscar and Xavier all chipping in and helping out the opposition. The boys started off well and goals were coming thick and fast with everyone wanting to get a peace of the action. Zac C was a running machine and had more bounces then the Harlem Globetrotters while Alex was again on fire and Coby's marking prowess was one to see. Jack and Cody were giving us first use in the ruck and Iggy was standing strong in defence. Ollie's goal was followed up with a standout celebration and Dillon's inside handballs were great. A more team-oriented game was the focus throughout with the boys sharing the ball and looking out for one another. The highlight was a great passage of play by Coby, Connor, Ollie and Iggy teaming up by hand and foot. Zac M and Tom finished off the hard work by kicking a couple each while Oscar took a great grab and goal as well. Once again a great team game by all.
Goals: Alex 3, Zac M 2, Tom 2, Ollie, Oscar, Jack, Coby.
Medal winner: Oscar
Under 9 Black by Jeff Kane (Coach)
A hard fought game for our young Tigers this week. Conditions were excellent and both teams chose to play the full ground. For the first time this year we had a full team. Boys ran all day and there were some excellent passages of play. Our ruck was exceptional and boys are starting to think more strategically when they have the ball in both halves of the ground. This week the Tiger Medal was awarded to Lewis who played an awesome game in the forward line and on the wing taking some great marks and sending the ball forward. Chris who is in his first year of footy won the encouragement award from the Two Brothers. Chris's skills and confidence are improving weekly and he always gives his all for the team. Today he played well and attacked the ball hard. The second award went to Joel, who dominated the centre in the last quarter worrying our opposition into tagging him; his work in the middle was influential and gave us great drive into the forward line. Was a great team effort from the boys!
Under 9 Yellow by Josh McConnell (Coach)
Rnd 6 saw U9 Yellow take on Vermont Purple away from home in what was a two-goal wind. Our Captain today Javier Petrilli won to chose to kick with the wind, which was a great decision. It was a tough first quarter against a quality and tall opposition. We saw a fair bit of run in the first quarter with lots of team play with run and handball, which created many scoring opportunities in the first quarter. The second and third quarters our run stopped with many players not going in and being first to the ball. This evened the match up and let Vermont back in the game and the momentum swung back in their favour. The last quarter we had had many players get back into the game and the run started again, but still to many players not running hard enough to get clear of the packs and push the ball forward. Kicking into the wind was tough and goals did not come easy, but again when we worked as a team and ran hard the goals came. Our next game against Vermont will be much more improved, as our players now understand what it takes to play against a quality team and the effort that needs to be put in through the whole game. Our Two Brother Cafe awards today went to our Captain Javier Petrilli for a great start to the game and finish in the last quarter with lots fast running and drive at the ball and Oscar Tribolet. When Oscar was running and concreting on the game he is very hard to beat, as he gets to the ball first. Doing this all game next will see him have an even better game. Our Mitcham JFC medal winner went to Daniel Grace. Dan did not stop trying all game. He was under packs, running past for the handball and kicking well all game. His use of the ball out of the backline and in the middle was at its best this week and saw a great handball and goal to a teammate in the forward line, which created a goal for his team. Well done Dan on a great game this week and a great season so far. As always there were other standout players that had some great plays and influence on the game and put their hand up when it counted to kick a goal or defend with a smother. Well to these guys and well done to all for having a go. We were short a few players this week with illness and injury, so will be great to have them back next week.
Under 10 Black by Peter Ajani (Coach)
Mitcham Black under 10 went down the road to play South Croydon. In what was the best weather condition so far this year. Captain for the week was Will who started in the middle, Will's game improved as the match went on. In a tightly fought contest where the pressure was intense all the tigers lifted to hold firm. Great games LeBron, Jacob, Jesse, Sean and Liam just to name a few. All the boys played their role and started to hold position, which South Croydon could not break. A much better game from all the boys.
Under 10 Yellow by Mark Butler (Coach)
In our second game at the tiger den, we took on a tall and talented Norwood team in great conditions with Tyson Darmody as our skipper. While we were hard at the ball, we again fell into bad habits of kick chasing and playing with little accountability in the first half. After a reset at half time, we came out and played a really good second half. Heath Fox was pivotal around the ball and charged forward with his blistering pace. Mason was again a powerhouse in the ruck and Jimmy and Jack kicked 3 second half goals between them. Steve, Alex, Angus, Dillon, Jackson, Daniel and Henry also had great games that proved crucial to our strong second half.

Today the Under 11's played their sixth round match against Blackburn at Morton Park. The Tigers turned it on for the first three quarters today kicking 7 goals to 1. In the fourth quarter it looked as though the boys had decided that they had had enough, allowing Blackburn to come back into the game by letting 3 goals and 1 behind to be added to the Blackburn tally. Hopefully next week we can put in a four-quarter performance against The Basin.
Goals: Hamish 3, Ryan O 2, Sam and Tynan
Best Players: Hudson, Lachlan, Hamish, Luke F and Felix.
Final Score: Mitcham 7.4.46 d Blackburn 4.2.26
Under 12 by Sandy Marini (Coach)
The boys learnt an important footy lesson today. You can't leave it to the last quarter to be 1st at it. None the less, an impressive 4th quarter where we kicked 4.5 and kept the opposition scoreless wasn't enough.
Best: Liam, Matty, Charlie W
Final Score: East Ringwood 8.5.53 d Mitcham 5.5.35
Under 12 Girls by Ruby Schneider (Coach)
Today the girls took on Donvale and we knew that it was going to be a hard game to win. The day started off pretty well with 2 goals being kicked in the first quarter, which is sometimes unknown for us! Well done to Lucy O and Hannah! The rest of the game was very challenging as Donvale moved the ball extremely well and were great at building a wall making it difficult for us to get it into the forward line however the great defensive pressure and tackling by Meg and Lauren gave us great opportunities to get it down our end. Also would like to mention the double duo of Mathilda and Stella Anderson who played well the whole day and have improved out of sight. The last quarter was extremely stressful as we were only up by two points and Donvale were catching up in points and then were lucky enough to score a goal making it even more stressful if that was possible. In the last minutes the girls fought for the ball, laying as many tackles as they could, trying to get it out at stoppages and then bang! All of a sudden Matilda Ridgeway came running out of the pack into open goal with 5 seconds left on the clock, all the parents were screaming telling her to go and then she kicked a goal right through the middle, over the umpires head!!!! Everyone was so excited no one heard the siren. The girls were so excited, it was a great game of football and I couldn't be more proud of how far they have come. Maybe I should make them run extra laps every week. Go Tiges!!!
Final Score: Mitcham 3.2.20 d Donvale 2.6.18
Under 13 by Jason Philactides (Coach)
Well done to Aiden and Jordan for their contribution today. We appreciate you stepping in last minute and having an impact in our game. Unfortunately for the second week in a row, we had the game won before we played it. Wantirna South were more desperate to win a game of footy. We can make excuses, but at the end of the day, the opposition wanted the ball, and the win, more than us. Having said this, it is only our second loss for the year. As I mentioned after the game, if we are to play well, we need to train well. When the boys come to training lets focus for the hour, train well, and look forward to putting your skills you have been taught into the game. On a positive note, two weeks running, Raph and Zac have played really well. They constantly go hard for the footy and more often than not, win the ball when they go for it. It is really pleasing seeing the not so dominant players hold their own when its their turn to go for the ball. A special mention the midfielders, Jack, Nathan, Dan N and Luca for tirelessly running on the ball all day and trying their heart out.
Goal kickers Aiden 2, Jordan 1, Jack 1, Nathan 1.
Final score Wantirna South 7 9 51 d Mitcham 5 9 39
Under 14 Girls by Leigh Walters (Coach)
The Under 14 girls played Belgrave at Walker Park. This was an important game for the team to get our season back on track. Right from the opening bounce the midfield had the ball in our forward line where we worked hard to retain the ball. While we managed to control the game by having the ball in our forward line for most of the first half we were finding it hard to score. After half time the flood gates seemed to open up more for us with Mitcham outscoring Belgrave 39 to 8 due mainly to the backline repelling many attacks and the team starting to understand about putting themselves in the right spot to win the ball and to keep the ball in our forward line. The whole team can be extremely satisfied in their efforts with every player contributing to the victory by 35 points.
Better players: Maddy, Riley, Marissa, Olivia and Jazmyn
Under 15 by John Adcroft (Coach)
The boys showed us in the first quarter what potential they have. The intensity and pure desire to win the contest was an absolute delight to watch. I think the boys got a little over excited with having a 3-goal lead at the break and they took their foot off the gas. A better side definitely did not beat us - they beat an underperforming great side. Next week lads, four quarters of what we did in the first quarter and lets see what happens…
Best on Ground - Michael B (great to have you back!!)
Thanks to Mick for filling in as Boundary Ump and Peter Walsh as Ass Coach.

My hubby had 3 days off by now and he went to do work that would bring in income. It was Presidents' Day.
I got up at my leisure, to find no electricity and no water. Did you know that water is connected to electricity? I'm a city girl by nature, not the big city: mind you. I didn't learn that it took electricity to pump the well water, out in the country, till this year.
I had made a cake to take to a memorial service at church the night prior. I was going to be creative and make brown butter frosting in the morning before going to the church. No water. No electricity.
I couldn't melt butter or plug in the electric mixer. Perhaps I could check some minor things on my computer because it was the newer one and it could stand alone without being plugged in, normally.
My hubby texted me to say the electricity would be on in two hours. Ummm, rearrange all my plans. I was to be at church. I couldn't shower. I did a make shift cleaning job with wet wipes and went to the store on the way to the church. I had been perturbed by now and thought my small cake wasn't good enough. I bought 2 ready made cakes. This is something I really almost never do. This was how I reasoned with myself about the cost.
Now, I'm at church cutting cakes and helping in the kitchen. There is plenty of time till the mourners come in to eat. I got a text that we would have a house showing. Hubby and I dropped everything and came home to prep the house. We are rushing and sweating.
My daughter texts and invites me to a movie with her. I can almost count on one hand how many times this has happened. My hubby said I should go if I wanted. He would take care of everything. He wouldn't care to details I would, but it would be ok.
I got home from movie to find the showing was cancelled. I had been tasting brown butter frosting in my imagination all day. I made it. Hubby did dinner and I warned him I'd be watching an awards show on tv. As usual, after eating, he went fast asleep and I watched the show. Good life.

Didn't see that coming. Looks good! Darker than the TV series, but the show could get pretty dark at times. I don't mind them remaking or re-imagining this show because the concept of people going to an island to fulfill their fantasies is a good premise. I also don't mind them recasting the Mr. Roake or Tattoo characters because it was always more about the guest stars in my opinion.
I'm personally tired of the "edgy" My Favorite Things covers. I think it's over done. Other than that I'm sure it's fine. Happy for people who like it.
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
Also, as much as I like Michael Pena, I wish they had gotten somebody with a little more presence for Roarke.
I don't mind re-imaginings or re-boots at all. In fact, if your just going to do the exact same thing, why bother. That already exists. However... I do prefer re-imaginings/re-boots to maintain the spirit of the original project. This seems to have very little to do with the original. If it can tap into all the aspects that Sprytel mentions, then it could pull it off. Somehow it just doesn't feel like it will.
WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.
As somebody who recently watched the entire series, there is some of this darkness in the original. Roarke's morality lessons often got a little dark, I can think of episodes where fantasy guests are sold in prostitution or even worse made slaves to powerful men in a "Monkey's Paw" sort of structure. It would all work out in the end but you'd often wonder if those people wouldn't have wanted a refund.
It's interesting that the movie features Julie in lieu of Tattoo, the character meant to give Herve some downtime on the original series.
While I'm still letting this slosh around my head, one thing is for certain, I think Pena is an odd choice.
I liked both the original show and the 1998 reboot (particularly as it played to the connections to The Tempest). This makes me think of The Banana Splits Movie, and I guess this is a trend we now have of horror-based reboots, but I do like the original enough to give it a chance.
Hugh H. Davis
Wanted: Legends of the West (Empire & Excel) and other western historically-based figures. Send me an offer.
Also interested in figures based on literary characters.
Cute Blonde; This looks terrible, another great series reimagined horribly. Just like that new Charlie's Angels mess.
Just leave the classics alone. Think of New Things, Be Original...
I'm a big fan of the original series, but I haven't watched it for a long time, there's been mention of the darkness in the series, like when Mr. Roarke meets the Devil (Roddy McDowell) but if I recall correctly, didn't one of the guest actually die and did not return to the launch boat at the end of the episode?
I have no idea the name of that particular episode or how the person died.

One starlit night, a plump* of ducks was snoozing peacefully in their snuggly des. res. duck house, when a strange low noise, throbbed through the still, summer air. One of the bravest ducks, called ....Muckleflugga, poked his beak out of the house and sniffed. An odd smell wafted into his nostrils and made him sit up, startled. A peculiar noise, a peculiar smell …. What did it all mean?
Now, I said Muckleflugga was brave, but he wasn't so brave that he would toddle into the dark alone in search of a mysterious noise. Oh.... no... no... no... no.
So, he waddled softly over to.... Ootka*, his pal from Russia, and said,
'Psst, quackle, quackle,' which is duckish for 'get up quietly', and then, 'Come with me. There's a funny smell and a frightening noise coming from further down the field.'
The two, little ducks knew a secret way out of their fox-proof enclosure. All the ducks knew about it, but I can't tell you how they get out, or the fox will learn about it.
Anyway ...it's a secret isn't it?
They waded through the River Dribble, which was at low tide because Stan the caretaker only turned the hose on during the day.
They stopped to eat a few bits of weed at the bottom of the river and then proceeded fearlessly (well, they weren't shaking with fright yet) towards the sound.
They trekked over the bridge, through the nettles, behind the herb garden;
it was hard, following their noses.....
A cloud had drifted over the moon and it was so dark that Ootka nearly stumbled, but just as they were about to lose all hope of discovering the source of the sounds and the smells, and return home, a gathering of fireflies hovered nearby.
They whispered to the ducks,
'Shhh.......we can help.....'
'Don't worry, we'll come with you and you'll be able to see better. We heard the rumbling noises, too.'
The beautiful, green-gold lights cast by the fireflies winked in the inky air and Muckleflugga and Ootka plodded on, now much better able to see the way.
Suddenly, a loud snort made them leap with alarm.
'Shnnnoork...grrrum...grrrrum…shnorkgrrrumumm', came the terrifying noise.
Muckleflugga gave a muffled quack,
'I think we're v...v...very c...c...close.' Muckleflugga mumbled
'Are you sure we shouldn't wait till morning when Vanessa comes with Wuffa and the Wuffingas ? Dogs are so much bigger and stronger than us,' squeaked Ootka, who was thinking that dogs were also much braver than he was.
'No, forward! Where's your courageous spirit?' hissed Muckleflugga.
'Back in Russia, where I left it,' thought Ootka, but he didn't say it out aloud.
The ducks had come to a halt beside a huge tree. At its base was a large hole. It looked very black and a most powerful whiff floated out towards them. Out of the corner of their eyes they glimpsed a low, round shape scuttling away from them through the grass.
Then that rumbling snort started to come from the hole again.
'Shnnnoorkgrumgrum, …shnorkgrrrumumm.'
'Who's...Who's there?' Muckleflugga's quack was a bit shaky.
'I am!' said a cross voice. 'Fancy calling on a chap unannounced. I was about to go shopping, so stand out of my way. This is my house, your great flat foot is entering, do you realise?'
A second later a very cross-looking creature shambled out of the hollow in the tree. He was very round, and very rotund, * and had a pointed snout with a black tip. His two button eyes flashed at them, his short ears twitched and he was … well...covered in prickles. He also smelled as if he hadn't had a wash for years.
'I'm Honka', he announced.
'Very suitable', thought Muckleflugga and Ootka, turning their beaks slightly sideways as their new acquaintance came closer.
'Oh, how do you do?' said the well-raised ducks.
Most ducks are very polite, even with a very smelly creature right in front of them.
'I'm Muckleflugga,' said the brown and white duck, extending a wing in greeting, though he wasn't sure which part of Honka he should shake.
'And I'm Ootka. I'm from Russia,' said the black and white duck. 'What are you?' enquired the puzzled duck.
'I'm a hedgehog, of course. I wake up at night, and sleep all day. I must go and hunt for worms, slugs and snails now.
They're all on my shopping list, you know.'
'We like them, too so please leave some for us,' pleaded the ducks.
'Don't panic, there's plenty to go round, but now I must catch up with my cousin, Hootkins, who was just visiting me. I have to warn him that Blair, the ferocious badger, is stomping around. I smelt him.'
'Do you know the fox?' asked Ootka.
'Yes', replied Honka, 'and I keep away from him, too. If I were you, I'd start running, because I can also smell him coming. Now that we've introduced ourselves you may call on me tomorrow night.'
With that, Honka the hedgehog poddled off in the direction of his round relative, Hootkins, who was weaving his way through the grass, indulging in some retail therapy as he went.
Having been warned about the fox, the two ducks tore off home at a fast waddle.
After they had arrived, they pulled on their nightcaps, sank gratefully into their clean straw beds and dreamed about their brave adventure!

Six months after the network gear maker Nokia sold its struggling mobile phone business to Microsoft for $7.1 billion (5.6 billion euros), it delivered higher than expected third quarter profits of 457 million euros.
According to the third quarter results of 2014, Nokia Solutions and Networks show an increase in its profit margin from 11.0% of the 2nd quarter to 13.5% of the 3rd quarter.
The Finnish company revealed that it has strong earnings from its network gear units and changed its outlook for the business after major network rollouts in Asia and North America.
There is an estimated further growth and profit for Nokia with many planned network deployments on their way to some parts of Asia all throughout the year.
After the positive third quarter profits, Nokia has changed its outlook for the entire year and expects that the company will be able to stay lucrative with a projected profits margin of 11% instead of what it has earlier forecasted at 5-10%.
Currently, Nokia sits on the third place in the global network-equipment market following Huawei Technologies and Sony Ericsson.
Since the declaration of Microsoft that it would acquire Nokia back in September of 2013, the Finnish company's stock went up by over 130%. It may have failed to recover because of its late start in offering smartphones to the market but it sure was able to bounce back after it was acquired by Microsoft.

St. James resident John "Keith" Livingstone wanted to discuss a medication adjustment with his doctor, Rachelle Gorrell, DO, a family medicine physician and division chief of primary care with Phelps Health.
When he called about his appointment, he was told about Telehealth visits, which are a safe, secure and confidential way for patients to visit remotely with their care provider from a smartphone with audio and video capabilities.
"These Telehealth visits give patients the opportunity to check in with their providers from the comfort of their home," said Erik AuBuchon, DO, an internal medicine physician and medical director of health informatics at Phelps Health.
Livingstone used the Healow app and was able to have a virtual appointment with Dr. Gorrell instead of going to the clinic in person. A link to patients' appointments can be sent via a text message or email.
"It worked great," Livingstone said. "I felt just as comfortable at home as I did in her [Dr. Gorrell's] office. Once I got connected, it was flawless. It was just like being there."
In many cases, the quality of care during Telehealth visits is the same as face-to-face interactions, according to Dr. AuBuchon. Providers are able to evaluate their patients using the cameras on smartphones or computers to look at the eyes, throat or skin of their patients.
Livingstone described his Telehealth visit experience as similar to an in-person visit, with one difference being that he took his own blood pressure, temperature and pulse instead of a nurse measuring those vitals. Since not everybody has their own devices at home, patients taking their own vitals during Telehealth visits is optional.
Telehealth visits can be used for a variety of reasons. "They are very useful in chronic health maintenance, preventive care and counseling appointments when discussion is a big part of the visit," Dr. AuBuchon said. Additionally, Telehealth visits sometimes may be used for follow-up care after a surgery or procedure.
Margaret Roberts, another patient who normally sees her care team at the Phelps Health Medical Group–St. James location, said she was able to see her provider using the FaceTime app.
"I spoke with the doctor, and it felt personal," Roberts said. "It was faster (than an in-person appointment), and it definitely seemed safer than sitting in a waiting room, regardless of the COVID-19 situation."
Telehealth visits allow patients more flexibility in being able to see their provider. With Telehealth visits, patients do not have to travel to and from their doctor's office, and they can experience fewer disruptions to their schedules.
Roberts said when she is sick, she does not feel like going out or driving. "It was nice, almost like a house call," she said of Telehealth visits. "I'd definitely recommend them."
Livingstone agreed, adding, "My experience was top-notch. I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
A majority of Phelps Health providers offer Telehealth visits, and Dr. Gorrell said she encourages patients to talk to their provider's office about Telehealth visits if they feel like they need to see their provider and do not want to wait. If patient's appointments can be done through a Telehealth visit, they will receive instructions on how to participate.
For patients who would like an in-person appointment, Phelps Health is open, safe and ready to serve the community. Patients who come to Phelps Health facilities will be asked to follow certain safety guidelines, such as wearing a mask, practicing hand hygiene and social distancing, and being screened for fever or respiratory symptoms upon entry.

The Fall of Lord Gildrein and The Dwarven King Hoargah
A Poem By Shane // 8/29/2006
"In days of old
When all was fair.
And Elves by the sea did abode.
Goanaath the wise looked into the mirror.
He saw a worn ship sail down a great river.
Upon it's deck stood a single elf in fear.
Not an arrow was left in his quiver.
Upon his face was a lonely tear.
As he looked he saw the elf fall.
As one final arrow hit him from the shore.
Such was the end of Manror the tall.
When the goblins started the Noemalnar war.
The Elves did avenge Him with the help of the Dwarves.
But Gildrein and Hoargah there met their end.
And so fell the great ring of Hoargah into the hands of the goblin king Maoreves.
And no longer does the bow of Lord Gildrein bend."

Out of bath
I didn't have much time to paint today..As I was seeking inspiration in the "croquis cafe" archive, I found a pose with a nice movement in the legs and arms. My first lines and construction were not right . So I put batches of color here and there.(to relax!) I liked the bright red in the hair, which immediatly transformed the pose into the story of a woman with a red towel coming out of bath and the painting began. I guess I could have worked it more, especially in the background, with more time/inspiration/skill... Below my reference photo and the painting

Usage examples for instil
When they bite, they instil their venom into the wound, which mixes with the blood, and, without a timely remedy, destroys the sufferer; but if you cut off the head, the rest of the body is not only wholesome but palatable, and I have known it eaten as a delicacy by many inhabitants of the colonies. – The History of Sandford and Merton by Thomas Day
I must instil into Mrs. Perkenpine's mind, said Corona, that, in order thoroughly to act out her own nature, she must cook and do other things of a domestic character. – The Associate Hermits by Frank R. Stockton
The Duchess of Bedford, the queen, and all the family of Woodville, who had but one object at heart,- the downfall of Warwick and his House,- knew enough of the earl's haughty nature to be aware that he would throw up the reins of government the moment he knew that Edward had discredited and dishonoured his embassy; and, despite the suspicions they sought to instil into their king's mind, they calculated upon the earl's love and near relationship to Edward, upon his utter and seemingly irreconcilable breach with the House of Lancaster, to render his wrath impotent, and to leave him only the fallen minister, not the mighty rebel. – The Last Of The Barons, Complete by Edward Bulwer-Lytton

Our Printing Division - Introduction
Smith & Butterfield's printing division can service your business from concept to completion, on projects as simple as a one-color envelope imprint and as complex as full color product catalogs and promotional brochures.
Using the industry's most advanced technologies we're able to offer you the best quality at the best price.
Our emphasis on service and quality means your printed product will reflect your company's professional appearance. With short or long runs, you are assured of consistent quality and timely deliveries. Other companies will "shoot" or duplicate your form with each printing, which will result in a gradual loss in the clarity of your form.
But at Smith & Butterfield, we maintain the artwork of your original copy on file and print from that original to keep your printed products looking as clear and sharp as possible. We also offer electronic storage of art files to facilitate "print on demand" technology. In addition, our own full service graphics department can accommodate any design or typesetting services you may need.
Our press capabilities range from simple photocopying and single color duplicator press work to the most advanced digital printing (computer to plate technology) and large-format printing. Whether it's ink on paper or ink on plastic or wood, Smith & Butterfield is your source for commercial printing.

Giant Lobster Hunters follows the real life dramas of six lobster boat captains over the last ten weeks of the winter rock lobster hunting season as they risk it all in search of the world's most prized seafood delicacy. For the lobstermen, it's their last chance to put money in the bank until the fishing grounds re-open in spring. The Southern Ocean is Australia's deadliest stretch of ocean. Against a backdrop of wild weather and treacherous seas, crews work night and day to haul in hundreds of kilograms of lobsters across slippery decks. Even a minor problem can turn deadly in a matter of moments and the nearest port is often hundreds of nautical miles away.
Medical emergencies, mechanical failure, storms and underwater predators all serve as natural adversaries. And then there's the volatile lobster price, which goes up and down most days. More than eighty percent of all lobsters caught in Tasmania are exported live to China and that's what drives the per kilo price. But if a captain gets it right, he can make a fortune. Get it wrong and he can lose it all. This is not only a story of risk, strategy and skill at sea but a drama about family economics.
Skipper Pete, AKA the Mad Genius, from Team Triton has been hunting for lobsters for more than 40 years. He's heading southwest on an eight day run, targeting 1,000 lobsters. He crushed it last year with a record haul of 5,000 tonnes of monster reds. This season, he has two secret weapons, a new 3D computer plotter, which maps the ocean floor and shows him where to drop his lobster pots, and a new deckhand. But what Pete doesn't yet know is that Team Triton is going to get smashed by deadly underwater predators.
The winter lobster season is in full swing. Squizzy, Skipper of Bold Contender, is under pressure to fill a special order of 600 brindle lobsters. Ansons Bay is dead in the water – its engine has stopped working. And stormy weather and rough seas have plagued the Minnamurra. It's been a horror start for Skipper Clive. Meanwhile, Danny, Skipper of the William Norling, is hunting for big reds in the Bass Strait and he's received some good news.
There's only ten weeks to go until the end of the winter rock lobster hunting season. For the lobstermen, it's their last chance to out money in the bank before the season re-opens in spring. This multi-part series follows the real life dramas of six lobster captains as they go in search of lobsters in the Southern Ocean – Australia's deadliest stretch of water. The winter weather will put every skipper to the test. Who'll hit their target? Who'll bag the biggest? And who'll make a fortune?

If you or a family member need immediate medical care, it's important to know what to expect from an urgent care facility before you arrive. There are more than 9,000 urgent care offices in the United States, so chances are you can find one close to you and get the care you need as quickly as possible.
Potentially Long Wait Times
When you come to urgent care, it may take between 15-20 minutes for the doctor to see you. However, there are facilities where you'll wait for up to 45 minutes to be seen! Of course, if you need medical care right away, it's best to visit the emergency room. Urgent care is best for minor injuries that need to be treated promptly and treating cold and flu symptoms. Even though these wait times are considered long, if you go to the emergency room, you could be waiting for more than two hours, which is why urgent care is usually a logical choice. Once you know which urgent care location you're going to visit, see if you can check in online. This will reduce your wait time so you can get the care you need sooner.
You'll Have to Pay a Fee
Keep in mind that a visit to urgent care is not free. However, it's still considerably less expensive than going to the ER. If you must go to the emergency room, you could end up paying about $1,000 per visit depending on your health insurance plan deductible. When you go to urgent care, you'll likely have a copay. Just be prepared to pay for the services rendered at the time of your visit.
Not All Urgent Care Centers Are Certified
Remember that some urgent care facilities in your area may be certified, while others are not. According to the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine, there is an accreditation program available for facilities that want to operate at stricter standards. Not all facilities will provide X-ray machines or other medical equipment. Be sure to research the facility before you arrive to ensure the facility has what you need.
All Urgent Care Facilities May Not Accept Your Insurance
To find an urgent care center near you, search online for a facility that is close to where you live or work. For instance, you can start an online search for any urgent care clinic ocean city md in your area. The search results will likely include contact information for the urgent care and a website where you can get more information before your visit.
However, you'll also need to make sure that your nearest urgent care center accepts your insurance. A visit to urgent care can be pricey, but it will be even more expensive if you don't have insurance or the facility doesn't accept your insurance. Ask your insurance provider to give you an in-network list of urgent care centers near you so you'll know where to go in a medical emergency

An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect for the area starting Wednesday. Today, while hot, will not be that out of the ordinary for the KC area. Temperatures yesterday popped into the lower 90s and we should be in the 90-93° range again today. Clouds that are to the west of the area may filter a bit of the sunshine and as I write this blog there is some nice rain falling in northern KS but odds favor this activity NOT making it to the KC area. There may be some lighter showers though across far NW MO and NE KS this morning.
Today: Partly to mostly sunny and seasonably hot with highs 90-93°. Heat index today should be around 95-100°.
Tonight: Fair skies with lows 70-75°
Wednesday: A bit hotter with highs near 95°
Thursday: Hot and humid with highs 95-98°
Friday and Saturday: These should be the hottest days with highs 95-100°
KCI is the "official" weather station for the KC region. St Joseph covers NW MO. With that said there are about 6 other weather stations that are relied upon for consistent and quality controlled weather reports around the KC area. There are others of course, but the period that that've been going is shorter.
I bring that up because occasionally there are weird statistical anomalies that show up. Usually it's rain or snow related. During the seasons sometimes there is a lot more rain across the northland than the southland due to storms…or snow storms etc. Temperatures though are a bit more uniform as a whole. Over the course of a month or year…the averages are pretty consistent whether you look at the airport in Lees Summit or KCI or in between. Many years ago I did an internal research project showing the downtown KC airport rain 2-4° warmer than KCI did and does to this day. This is more connected to the heat island effect than anything else. That isn't surprising. As concrete and buildings and the terrain gradually changes farther north with development…KCI over the coming decades should gradually get hotter over time.
I bring up that tangent to point out a weird stat…KCI hasn't hit 100° since September of 2013…some 1400+ days ago. Interesting but not. Downtown KC has hit 100° 5 times from 2013 through today
Meanwhile look what happens up at KCI…
This isn't exactly shocking news I don't think. As a matter of fact from 2000 through today KCI has hit 100° or higher 70 x's including their hottest 107° (in that span) on 8/22/11.
Now in Downtown KC given the same time frame things are a bit different. From 2000-today the Downtown Airport has hit 100° or higher 95 times including their hottest of 109° (in that span) on 8/2/11.
Again though remember that KCI is the "official" station of KC.
As we go farther northwards…St Joseph, MO has hit 100° or higher 3 times from 2013>today and 38 times from 2000>today. That is sort of interesting to me…quite the discrepancy from KCI to St Joseph in that regard. Their hottest was 106° on 8/25/03
For a comparison…Lees Summit has hot 100° or higher 1 time from 2013 through today and 50 times from 2000>today including 109° on 8/2/2011.
Down at JOCO Executive Airport towards 151st and Quivera that haven't hit 100° from 2013>today (99° once) bit have hit 100° or higher 52 times from 2000>today including their hottest in that span of 110° on 8/2/2011.
So now you know.
We should get a break in the more intense heat (by 5+ degrees) on Sunday and Monday of next week before the intense heat potentially returns to the region next week…in time for Training Camp for the Chiefs up in St Joseph, MO. later next week. we'll see how that holds (or doesn't into the 1st week of august when things really get going up there).
Our feature photo comes from Mark Schierholz of storms back on the 13th towards the Lees Summit area…thanks Mark!

Product 44/45
Internal view
TimberLine Wood Water Stoves are an alternate way to heat a hot tub or spa! This 100% Stainless Steel water boilers produce about 55,000 BTU of heating capacity by only using wood. You can now heat a medium-large hot tub in hours! These are ideal for off grid applications or to supplement pool and spa heating costs.
The TimberLine Wood Water Stove naturally circulates the water using no electricity. Its design is based on Thermosiphon; the hot water rises and exits via the top port. At the same time cold water is drawn in to the heat exchanger via the bottom port.
Forced Circulation -Optional Thermosiphon System -Standard
Both the stove body of the Water Heater and the firebox are made with high quality AISI 430 grade stainless steel. The heater can be left outside without the danger of rusting or burning-out. A specially designed vented smoke outlet provides secondary combustion of unburned gases, thereby reducing smoke emissions and chimney sparks. The heater comes with a 8' of stainless steel stove pipe.
The Wood Water Heater utilizes a sophisticated heat exchange design for efficient water heating. The stainless steel stove body surrounding the firebox is a double-walled water-jacket with a 1.5-inch space between, making the entire firebox (except the front) a heat-transferring surface. Additional heat transfer takes place in a water-filled baffle tubes that runs horizontally through the firebox. The baffle deflects the path of the fire, so it gives up more heat into the water jacket before going up the chimney.
Heat is easily controlled by adjusting the air draft control for heating the water and maintaining the water temperature.
The dimensions of the TimberLine Blaze Stoves are 19" wide x 29 1/2" long x 22" high with at total weight of 50 lbs. The fire box can accommodates 28" logs. The Blaze Water Stove comes with a 3/4" drain plug to completely drain the internal water jacket preventing any damage that could be caused by freezing. Also include are a temperature gauge to regulate the hot water and a safety pressure valve.
The heating time varies by the amount of water capacity of the tub and the starting temperature of the tub. Generally the TimberLine Blaze Hot Tub Heater will raise 100 gallons by about 65 degrees F per hour. The unit comes complete with everything you will need including the through ports. Included is a 2 year warranty against Manufacture defects. The TiberLine Wood Water Stove is perfect for cabins or anyone who wants to enjoy a hot tub without any pump noises.

The MG brand and its iconic octagonal badge design have combined with one of Australian racing's most famous names to win their class at the Jacuzzi Spas Australian Production Cars six hour enduro at Phillip Island. Racing in Class E, James Brock, son of the man known as "Peter Perfect", his co-driver Elliot Barbour, and their MG6 PLUS, battled the track, the elements, and driver fatigue to take out their class and score a podium finish.
Thanks to the Brock Race Engineering team fettling the car throughout their inuagural season, and the joining of MG Motor Australia to form MG Motorsport Australia, mostly consistent running has seen the car perform past expectations. Brock himself said:"The MG6 Plus delivers a winning combination of dynamism, aero efficiency and performance to make it a highly competitive package from day one."The series itself started back in May, with Victoria's iconic Sandown Raceway hosting the first round of the Australian Production Car championship. The series went north to Queensland Raceway in July, before heading to Winton Raceway in the depths of winter. The championship then visited Sydney Motorsport Park in September before the final round over the first weekend of November, 2018.
Brock added:"It's been a really great season, the Australian Production Car series has been super fun. It has really been an honour and a privilege to be able to represent a cool brand like MG and bring them back to motorsport. This is an absolutely awesome result for our first year out, thanks to MG Motor Australia for the support."
Out of the box the car won all four races at Sandown, scoring the maximum 160 points on offer.That initial good form didn't quite continue to Queensland Raceway, with the two races there seeing the MG6 PLUS down in the mid-pack. Winton in August saw a repeat before Sydney resulting in no points. It was a third place at Phillip Island that gave the team the points required to win their class championship."We're passionate about the racing heritage within MG's brand DNA, and thank James Brock and the team for their commitment to MG Motorsport. This season has showcased the MG6 PLUS as delivering a winning combination of dynamism, reliability and performance to make it a highly competitive package – we're delighted to end the season on such a high." said MG Motor Australia's Marketing Director, Danny Lenartic.

Cheesy Beetroot Pizza
Beetroot makes a tasty and light pizza. Goats Cheese and Taleggio (a strong flavoured Italian soft cows milk cheese) is scattered over the pizza, if you prefer a milder flavour simply use double the amount of goats cheese instead of the Taleggio. I like to accompany the pizza with a light rocket salad, a large handful of rocket leaves scattered over the pizza also works well.
Please visit our advertisers to help fund our site!
Portions: 4-6 Portions (2 pizzas, 40cm x 20cm)
Preparation: 60 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes
- 15g dried yeast or 40-45g fresh yeast
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 250ml lukewarm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 500g strong flour
- generous pinch salt
- 500g beetroot, roasted, peeled and sliced thinly
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 200g fresh mozzarella, diced
- 200g taleggio,rind removed and sliced into small pieces
- 200g goats cheese
- 4 tbsp rosemary, finely chopped
- 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper
To Serve
- rocket salad
- Pizza: Mix the yeast, sugar and water together in a bowl. Leave the mixture for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, then stir in the olive oil. Sieve the flour with a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Gradually stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon, until you have a sticky dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead it for 10-15 minutes, until you have a smooth and elastic dough. Lightly coat a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, cover it with a tea towel and place it in a warm place for 40-50 minutes until it has risen to double its size.

- Topping: Scatter the mozzarella and garlic over the pizza bases. Cover the pizzas with the sliced beetroot. Crumble the goats cheese and scatter the taleggio and rosemary over the beetroot. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper.the Place in the hot oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until the pizzas are golden and crisp.
- To Serve: Accompany pizzas with a light rocket salad. Serve.

How to Treat High Blood Pressure with Acupressure Therapy?
One of the effective ways to treat of hypertension or high blood pressure is acupressure. Natural Alternative medicine practitioners believe that best treatment for hypertension is by enlivening the mental or body system, which are responsible for this high blood pressure.
High blood pressure increases your chance (or risk) for getting heart disease and/or kidney disease, and for having a stroke. It is especially dangerous because it often has no warning signs or symptoms. Once high blood pressure develops, it usually lasts a lifetime. You can prevent and control high blood pressure by adapting the safe and natural therapy (which is called) 'acupressure'
Acupressure points to treat high blood pressure:
Using these acupressure points can quickly adjust your blood pressure without the side effects using medication and drugs. There are many acupressure points which can be treated to take control of hypertension, but I start with two acupressure points which are related to release the tension and depression (the main cuase of hypertension).
Two common and effective acupoints are: GV 20 and H 9
GV 20: This point is called 'BAIHUI" (100 meeting point). This is a very useful point for hypertension patients.
Location: GV 20 is at the top of the head at the center of an imaginary line from ear to ear. Pressing and massaging the points will help to refresh and center the spirit and strengthen the memory, concentration and depression.
One needs to press and release the point using your thumb 15 times in the morning and 15 times in the evening. This point is also useful for headache, vertigo, ringing in the ears, nasal obstruction, difficulty with speech, stress, depression.
H-9 is at root of the nail on the little finger (left or right).
Activate this point any time when discomfort is felt on the chest.
More acupressure points to treat high blood pressure:
'Acupressure Online' suggests few more acupressure points to get relief from high blood pressure conditions:
P6: Inner Gate (Pericardium 6) This point can be effective for relieving nausea and anxiety. It is the point used by those motion sickness wrist bands.
Location: On the inner forearm, about three fingers' width from the wrist crease.
St36- or Leg Three Miles is used to boost overall immunity and vitality. ST 36 is known as one of the most important points to tonify Qi and Blood and promote general wellness.
Location: On the front of the leg, one hand width (four fingers) below the kneecap, on the outside, in the depression between the shinbone and the leg muscle.
K3 - Bigger Stream (K 3) on the inside of the ankle helps balance the kidney meridian and strengthens the immune system.
Location: This point is situated one finger from the protruding ankle towards the heel. One needs to press and release the point using your thumb 15 times in the morning and 15 times in the evening. This point is useful for strengthening the immune system. As per my mentor, this point is also useful for managing ankle pain, toothache, asthma, long-term kidney disorders, sore throat, and lower back pain.
TW15 - Relieve nervous tension and relax the shoulders (usually GB 21 is also treated with it). Pressure point TW15, (along with GB20) also works to relieve meridian blockages that cause memory and concentration issues.
Location: On top of the shoulder blade on the back. To locate it, go directly up from the nipple, around the top of the trapezoid muscle, then down to the top of the shoulder blade. Stroke upward over the pressure point for one minute.
Is acupressure therapy for the treatment of high blood pressure is safe?
Acupressure is generally reported as safe when performed by an experienced practitioner. No serious complications have been published, despite millions of treatments every year. Self-administered acupressure is believed to be safe with proper training.
In traditional Oriental medicine, hypertension is said to be intimately connected with blockages in the Liver meridian. The following points are useful for managing acupressure:
Gb 20, Li 11, Ht 3, St 36, Lv 3, and Kd 1
Working on these points can help you get better quicker. You do not have to use all of these points. Using just one or two of them whenever you have a free hand can be effective. It's important to drink plenty of warm water after the massage, helps to clear away toxic substances in our body.
Caution: If blood pressure exceeds 200/100, do not do acupressure at all.
