Developed for Section 8 soldiers and other Armored Infantry units of the US Imperial Forces, Patton-class USIF Powered Assault Armor is one of the most powerful and technologically advanced battlesuits in the USIF armory.
The suit is designed to dramatically increase all physical properties of the soldier possessing it, including strength, speed, reflexes, agility, physiology (soldiers that have worn the armor are not affected by viruses and disease), and combat awareness.
The armor features multiple layers which help enhance and protect the wearer.
Energy Shielding
The outermost layer consists of what is its most powerful protection system: A rechargeable shielding system which forms a protective layer around the armor and shields the user from most forms of heavy weaponry, unless the enemy weapon is within shield piercing range (recent improvements have rectified this problem so that shields protect the wearer regardless of range). The shields also protect the wearer from the intense heat generated by an atmospheric combat-insertion drop (also called "Burning In") into a planetary atmosphere, creating an iconic fire trail around them. However, energy shields are vulnerable to electromagnetic pulses and plasma projectiles, such as those from a pulse cannon. Additionally, any attacks not traveling at a high enough velocity, like melee strikes from a knife or even an Armored Infantryman's bare hands, may not trigger the shield systems at all.
The shields work by constantly sending out frequency pulses around the user (similar to sonar) that detect the movement speed of all nearby objects. The armor's onboard computer then calculates the point of trajectory, velocity, and size. When the armor senses an incoming object possessing a dangerous level of velocity and/or size, the suit emits a powerful honeycomb lattice of plasma to the point of impact, melting or deflecting the object and rendering the user unharmed. If further dangerous objects continue to travel toward the armor, this process repeats until the shield capacitors are drained of energy. At this point, the armor begins to take damage. If the wearer takes cover, the shield capacitors will regenerate, and protective energy shielding will be fully re-established within several seconds.
Shield strength depends on how many shield servos (boosters) the wearer has implanted into their custom armor. The shield emitters can be seen on the outside of the armor as bright glowing blue, white, and/or orange light strips. The light can be dampened down for stealth operations.
Tritium-Alloy Armor Plating
USIF Powered Assault Armor plating is composed of tritium alloy, a very lightweight but extremely resilient material that is also found in the heavier MA3 Kodiak mech. This armor plating covers sections of the wearer including the legs, shoulders, abdomen, back, chest, and helmet; its primary function is to protect against rail projectile weaponry such as the REC-74 and other munitions like plasma or high-explosives.
While also serving as armor plating, shoulder pauldrons benefit the USIF Powered Assault Armor's wearer in ways other than protection. Their interior contains advanced micro-computer systems that help the armor better manage its already efficient power allocation.
Newer armor pauldrons with even more efficient micro-computers are awarded to soldiers upon reaching certain ranks (Sergeant, Captain, and finally General). These superior pauldrons permanently replace lesser ones on a wearer's armor, allowing increasingly more power to be diverted to armor upgrades for the Modular Upgrade System. Thus, the higher a wearer's rank, the more efficient their pauldrons are at helping to manage power and thereby granting more energy for more deadly armor upgrades.
USIF armor pauldrons feature progressively more stylized designs of the Imperial Eagle, the national symbol of the United States Empire.
Synthetic Muscle Systemmechs.
The muscle layer completely covers the wearer's body and provides total protection from weaker projectiles like cased rounds not assisted by rail propulsion. The muscle system is also capable of accepting nanites, like those from a repair tool, to effect repairs on itself and other layers whenever the armor is damaged (recent advances in technology allow the armor to utilize self-replicating nanites, and the armor constantly deploys them when damage is done to the suit, allowing for full regeneration of damage without a repair tool). Additionally, it greatly dampens EMP attacks against the suit and allows the soldier to engage in Overdrive Mode, enabling him to reach speeds of up to 75 mph.
Most importantly, the synthetic muscles are able to completely absorb extremely intense G-forces and high-velocity impacts. This makes the synthetic muscle system vital to the wearer's survival whenever he is Burning In, as it absorbs the G-forces that would otherwise render the wearer unconscious when plummeting from thousands of feet above the ground at extremely high velocities, and then absorbs the tremendous force generated from the otherwise fatal impact upon their landing, keeping the wearer unharmed from such a high-speed drop. This system also allows the wearer to jump from any height without fear of damage.
NUBIOCHEM System
Beneath the synthetic muscle is a layer known as the Nuclear Biological Chemical (NUBIOCHEM) System. This layer is composed of a tight-fitting but flexible nanocomposite bodyglove. It helps seal out any and all external substances from the wearer, such as poisonous air, liquids, radiation, and even a hard vacuum. It also seals the suit's built-in oxygen, food, and water supplies from external particles, in order to facilitate long-term operations in any environment. The NUBIOCHEM system is also augmented with ultraviolet radiation emitters within the armor to further kill off any particulate organisms.
Biolayer Interior
The final and innermost layer is a soft biolayer that sits directly on the wearer's skin. This layer acts as an extra impact cushion and helps regulate temperature, fit, and moisture. It also provides a further tight, yet comfortable seal. Inside this layer are multiple sensors linked to the suit's computer; these sensors monitor the wearer's biometrics.
Helmetair filters unique to the helmet. These filters take in air from outside the suit and filter out toxins, bacteria, viruses, and even radiation via a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration system. The filtered air (pure oxygen), can be breathed in immediately by the wearer or stored in the armor's compressed oxygen canisters for later use.
This helmet also contains a Heads Up Display (HUD), which shows information such as mission data, an ammunition counter, supply and oxygen levels, as well as the Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) display, which gives real-time information about where both enemy and friendly units are located. Also in the helmet is the most advanced multi-spectral communications gear available to the USIF Armored Infantry.
The helmet consists of multiple layers, the first of which is a tritium-alloy outer layer identical to the armor covering the rest of the suit. This outer layer includes two small panels which cover the wearer's eyes. These panels can be retracted back into the rest of the helmet to allow the user to see directly out. On these panels are blue eye slits, two on each panel, accounting for a total of four. The wearer does not see straight through these slits, since they are actually optical cameras that are connected to the wearer's HUD.
Underneath the armored layer is an orange-colored visor which displays the HUD. The visor is made of a type of durable bulletproof glass. The final layer is a mask that goes over the wearer's mouth. This mask supplies the wearer with oxygen, food, and water directly from the armor's storage areas.
The armor also contains a variety of features designed to help facilitate combat supremacy for the Armored Infantryman.
One of the armor's most useful features are the rechargeable propulsion jets that are integrated into the back of the armor. When the wearer activates them, two panels on the suit's back extend out and propel him through the air. The jets can be turned on and off at any given time as long as there is energy within the jet's battery.
The jets are useful for scaling buildings and rough terrain or ambushing enemy soldiers. When at full energy, the jets can immediately propel the wearer at more than 100 feet into the air, or can be used to levitate the wearer if he constantly fluctuates the on/off switch, which can be useful when aiming in mid-flight.
Overdrive Mode
Another feature that aids the armor's impressive mobility is its rechargeable "Overdrive" Mode, which increases the speed and strength output of the armor's artificial muscle system, and is used to propel the user in a rampant and continuous sprinting speed of nearly 75 miles per hour.
The Overdrive boost is vital for catching any fleeing targets or for covering vast terrain in a short amount of time, and it can be used often thanks to its large energy capacitors and fast recharge time. If used in conjunction with the jetpack, the wearer can cover immense amounts of terrain, as well as fly to extreme heights.
Artificial Intelligence
One of the most advanced pieces of equipment on the armor is the integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI). Sometimes referred to as 'Mother', the armor AI is what allows Armored Infantry troops to move fluidly and effortlessly with their advanced power armor, quickly adapting to changing conditions on the battlefield. It functions as both an assistant and electronic weapon, able to decrypt enemy intelligence and hack data consoles, such as Control Points, turning the enemy systems over to USIF control.
As an assistant, the armor's AI regulates various information gathered by the armor's sensors and displays it to the wearer in an easy-to-register Heads-Up Display (HUD). The AI can link with a micro-computer stored within the soldier's weapons to provide info such as weapon accuracy, weapon type, and the amount of ammunition left both in the soldier's overall ammo reserves and within the wielded weapon's clip. In addition, the AI also includes a complete overview of the user's medical status and internal suit temperature. All of this information is shown on the aforementioned easy-to-register HUD format to prevent information overload in the heat of combat.
It also maintains the armor's link to the Tactical Network (TacNet). The TacNet displays orbital fleet communications, squad updates, and all tactical information related to the current operation. The TacNet also contains a motion-sensor tag system that tracks all known enemies and allies and displays the signatures on a miniature map. Additionally, the TacNet is synced with a requisition database to help soldiers select the deployable they want, though the requisition demands of officers have far more priority compared to the average soldier. The TacNet info is integrated into the HUD.
The AI can sync its systems with distant command ships or bases via an encrypted "Armor Feed". This allows command staff to track an operation via live footage and relevant data taken from the view of the helmet's wearer. The AI has also been shown to intelligently and automatically intercept and decrypt specific short-range radio messages, such as those of enemy officers issuing orders to their troops.
An armor AI also notifies the wearer of any notable issues in combat, such as the current condition of armor shield strength or armor integrity. It can also notify a wearer whether a weapon's ammunition reserves are critical or have been depleted entirely.
Most importantly, the armor AI is responsible for using the armor's advanced systems to keep the wearer alive. The AI manages shield regeneration and armor auto-repair systems, and will effect repairs immediately once they are powered up (usually several seconds after the wearer has sustained damage). If the wearer is wounded, it will activate the Automated Medical System (explained below).
Lock-On(but never to a point that harms the wearer) so that the their weapon is directly facing the target; no matter how fast a target moves, it will always be acquired and open to attack.
Unfortunately, Lock-On has a few drawbacks. It can only sync itself with a weapon for a limited amount of time, after which the ability's capacitors need to recharge; an enemy must also be scanned long enough prior to Lock-On for the armor to initiate the ability, which can often take too long in the most heated battles. But this can be mitigated if the enemy target has already been scanned by other allied soldiers or structures, in which case Lock-On is instantly usable. Also, the enemy must constantly be within clear line-of-sight for Lock-On to acquire its target; any obscurity in view, such as the enemy hiding behind a large object or rounding a corner, will disrupt Lock-On as it fails to register the target.
Lastly, though Lock-On potentially allows the soldier to make every shot count, the effectiveness of Lock-On is still dependent on the weapon itself in the situation- a nimble infantry unit can still dodge non-homing missiles from a missile launcher, and a shotgun's wide pellet spread is still ineffective at long range even though the weapon is directly facing the target.
Automated Medical System
A very important feature of the armor is its Automated Medical system (or Automed for short). The Automed system contains various miniature medical devices that allow it to heal the wearer if he is wounded, and keep him alert and active thereafter. It can rapidly heal burns, puncture wounds, lacerations, broken bones, and other serious injuries. The Automed System also dispenses painkillers and stimulation cocktails which help the soldier inside to stay alert.
Another function of the Automed system is that it houses millions of controlled self-replicating nano-sized artificial antibodies (nanites) which can fight off any known virus, bacteria, or other disease in the galaxy. The nanites also aid the Automed system in rapidly healing wounds, allowing soldiers to quickly recover from, and fight through, even the most serious injuries. These beneficial nanites continue to replicate themselves inside the wearer of the armor, so wearers that have been exposed to their armor's nanites are immune to all sicknesses and can recover from the most grievous wounds in a surprisingly short time.
Modular Upgrade System
Soldiers can add upgrades to their armor. These upgrades were originally called Passive Modules, but in the aftermath of the Outer Rim War, USIF Powered Assault Armor underwent significant modifications, including changes to the HUD, among other aesthetic differences. After these changes, Passive Modules are simply referred to as "Armor Upgrades."
There are a total of eleven upgrades that can be fitted onto the armor at one time. There are several different upgrades, and only up to five can be put onto one armor set. In addition to that, upgrades to some weapons are included in this, such as coating bullets in tungsten or an anvil jacketing.
(Information on how to obtain these modular armor upgrades in Section 8: Prejudice for multiplayer use can be found in the Unlockables page.)
Power Sources
The energy is stored in a "main" capacitor. This capacitor contains a large amount of energy; whenever it is needed, the energy can be transferred to smaller capacitors (for example, those powering the jetpack or artificial muscles) which will use the power. When the main capacitor is nearly empty, the reactor fires again to recharge it. Any leftover plasma from the explosion is stored in a magnetic container and used by the armor's plasma shields. The reactor does not need to be refueled with more antimatter and fuel for many years, allowing the soldier to operate for extended periods of time.
If the antimatter reactor is out of power, all nanites in the armor initiate an emergency power sequence that recycles the waste of the armor wearer and converts it to energy, enabling the armor to continue functioning in this manner for several weeks or until the wearer can replenish the antimatter reactor.
Portable Survival Pack
One last feature of the armor is the extremely small yet high capacity survival backpack. Located between the jetpack thrusters, the backpack houses the weapons for the soldier (some can be folded for more compact transport), ammunition, and weapon cleaning nano-tools.
The backpack also carries two weeks worth of food and water for long-term missions. The food is compressed, freeze-dried, and stored in small compartments on the armor for easy access. The water is kept in cooled, sterile tanks for when the soldier needs it. Also contained in the backpack is a portable survival shelter.
Armor Types
There are multiple variations of the standard USIF Powered Assault Armor.
Standard Armor
Aegis Armor
Stealth Armor
Blitz Armor1st Recon Platoon. The armor's black color scheme and enhanced performance serve as both an intimidating reminder of, and practical enhancement to, the wearer's refined lethality in battle.
Hunter Armor
- A Captain version of the armor is available in Section 8, and can be obtained by pre-ordering the game. However, the one code (17013214) for the armor is not exclusive to pre-ordered copies, and is actually included in all copies of the game regardless of whether it was pre-ordered.
- The surname of the armor's owner is displayed on the collar fins of the armor.
- Another version of this armor is a darker version only seen on the commando during the "Commando" DCM.
- The Blitz Armor can only be acquired by purchasing the Section 8: Prejudice Blitz Pack, which is a downloadable add-on.
- The Hunter Armor is a PS3 exclusive, only being acquired if Section 8: Prejudice was pre-ordered on PSN.
- The Stars & Stripes flag symbol found on the pauldrons of USIF Powered Assault Armor is a reference to the Stars & Stripes shoulder patches found on 21st century US Military battledress uniforms.

However, I think there are different levels of reality that we suspend. Some aspects of reality, we can easily shed, like the fact that there is actually no magic in reality. Some aspects are a bit harder to shed, like our morals. As to what aspects of reality is easily "shed-able" or not, I think depends from person to person. Morals for me is not easily "shed-able" either. But I can be persuaded when the author is convincing enough. Because there are some authors who really are talented. This is where mediocre authors don't cut it, I think. So, if I were a mediocre author, I wouldn't even try asking the audience to suspend reality on aspects which are usually important to people like their morals. That author of yours, Jo, is obviously not mediocre.Cherryhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639169563557556665.post-4941068661113294142011-04-03T01:00:03.020+01:002011-04-03T01:00:03.020+01:00Do you think "suspension of disbelief" c...Do you think "suspension of disbelief" could also be evidenced by or related to suspension of morals? For instance, I love Steven Brust's fantasy series featuring Vlad Taltos. Vald is an assassin. In real life, I'm so opposed to killing that I don't believe in capital punishment, let alone assassination. But in my reading I REALLY like this assassin and don't flinch when he kills someone for money. But if the character and stories weren't well written? I doubt I could be so nonchalant about Vlad's occupation, etc.Johttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639169563557556665.post-40017586436425400252011-03-29T11:02:02.739+01:002011-03-29T11:02:02.739+01:00M.

So generally speaking I go into a book wanting to believe whatever the author has created... It's later one when I do the review that I begin to question things... So I could come under your idea of "read now, think later" kind of reader.

Natalie (Mindful Musings) - I think that is what bryngreenwood meant that the characters had to FEEL right and I agree with the both of you.

mike draper - You and I think alike, yep, the characters have to make sense to make them believable...

The author can't write in a world where no rules apply. I get the fantasy element but like what was said in your post, the author can't break their own rules. On the other side, they can't exist in a world without rules in order to serve the plot. Make sense within the context of the world and you got me.

For me, i think it's kind of 80-20ish, Authors need to be able to craft a world that is even the tiniest bit believable, and then explore that world in some sort of credible and engaging manner, then no doubt I'll buy into that. I've read quite a few dystopian YA lately and i'm impressed by the believability of some of the stuff, so I guess reader receptiveness is definitely important as well. Sometimes i find readers are so "aware" or are "looking for" these plot holes, I think it doesn't hurt to just live in that suspended disbelief, read now, think later!

Modern technology brings several miracles such as online services. Today, we have almost every service available in the virtual world. You needn't go anywhere to search the best laundry in Mumbai, for example. It is available at a few clicks. With several laundry services emerging on the horizon, people get confuse about how to pick up the best service? Well, the best way is to read customer reviews and feedback. A home laundry service Mumbai, which gets maximum praise, should be the ideal choice. Don't waste your precious time on mundane things like washing clothes or getting them ironed from the laundry at the next corner. Hire a professional service instead!
How to get the best output?
When there are so many competitors in the marketplace, you have the upper hand. Try to get maximum value for money by insisting the following things:
- You will not sort the clothes: Many Laundry & Dry Cleaning Services in Andheri West expects that the sorting to be done by the customer. You must get it done by the service provider. You give the bunch of spoiled clothes, and the service provider should sort it.
- Keep the dry-cleaning bunch separately: Don't mix clothes that are supposed to be dry-cleaned with the normal clothes. Keep two bags with a clear marking. It will assure that you get the best service with zero error.
- Remove the stains: Remember, removal of stains won't be guaranteed even if you call the best laundry services in Malad. Stains should be removed then and there. Experts say that most of the stains do not leave signs of their presence if you take action immediately.
- Mention special requests unambiguously: Don't assume anything. The home laundry service providers are responsible for pick and drop of clothes. They expect that you would clearly and specifically mention special requests, e.g. bleach, detergent or fabric softeners. When the service van comes to your door step, find a few minutes to fill in the special request form. If you are placing the order online, then don't forget to mention it.
- Choose the appropriate price plan: Read the price plan carefully and choose a package that matches your needs the most. Do not spend extravagantly for services that aren't relevant to you.
Surveys indicate that home laundry services will capture the largest market share tomorrow. Hence, it is important to know the tricks and tips.

There was a loud sigh, the sound of snoring and then a sudden jolt as he jumped, waking himself and his wife up. Yes, the other evening it was another dad who fell asleep first during the relaxation session at the end of one of our hypnobirthing classes. It's so often the way!
You see hypnobirthing classes aren't just for mums. The techniques you learn – visualisation, mindfulness, guided meditation and breath work are not gender specific.
These techniques are all aimed at getting you to pause, to slow down, to quiet your mind and relax your body. They are ways of dealing with stress and fear – not just for pregnancy and birth but for those daily upsets that make us worry or feel anxious.
These are techniques you can use at work, when commuting, when you're with people who stress you out, and sometimes best of all – to help you fall asleep. Yes they're for pregnancy and birth but they're also for beyond, when baby's crying or you just need some calm.
I will sometimes start class one with a dad who doesn't feel that the classes will be for him – he's just there to support his wife, right? Well to a certain extent yes – it's just that the supporting role is of key importance.
As the birth partner, he will know all of the techniques, so that he can help his partner stay calm, or bring her back to a state of calm and work with her as a team to have their baby.
He will learn how to confidently question medical staff if he needs to. He will become the protector of the birthing environment and the timekeeper – timing surges (contractions) so mum can concentrate on relaxing.
My husband is very proud of the fact that the midwives at our homebirth said he was 'an assistant midwife' for the night (he was briefly tempted to add it to his CV!). It was the first hypnobirth my midwives had seen and they couldn't believe how involved and supportive my husband was.
And you know what? That's one of the things that sold hypnobirthing to me when I was pregnant.
I have to be honest, three years ago, when I first googled it – I thought it sounded a bit weird and also a bit too good to be true? From all the blogs I read it worked – so why wasn't everyone using it?
The problem is it's hard to explain in a few sentences the massive changes hypnobirthing has on your life, not just your pregnancy and birth.
It changes the way you think about birth, so that instead of feeling scared you feel confident and excited. It helps you tap into your own birthing instinct. It helps you trust your body and get your mind out of the way (it quietens that negative voice in your head). And it helps you deal with any stressful or upsetting thoughts you have generally.
Anyway, when I spoke to my midwife three years ago and asked her if I should do the Wise Hippo course, she said: 'YES! I wish more people knew about hypnobirthing'.
She also said that every hypnobirth she'd been at, she couldn't tell that the women were in labour and that the dad's were so involved. And that went on to be the case for us too.
Now all the birth stories I get from mums talk how much the techniques helped 'us', they always say how integral the dads were and how they couldn't have done it without them.
I also get birth stories from the dads, sometimes as well, and sometimes instead of the mums – because the dads are front and centre; they're the Oscar-Winning Best Supporting Actors in the birth stories of their babies.

The General Services Administration is auctioning the personal effects of Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber and perhaps the best known anti-technologist of the late 20th century. As we noted before, the proceeds will go to victims of Kaczynski's crimes. With less than a day until the auction closes tomorrow, we compiled a list of the most expensive items. They include Kaczynski's hoodie and sunglasses, typewriter and two versions of his manifesto.

WASHINGTON ― Thousands of people on Twitter are following along as people who voted for President-elect Donald Trump begin to question their decision.
"I'm starting to feel like the biggest mistake of my young 23 years of life has been voting for [Trump]," Joseph Richardson tweeted on Nov. 21.
His post ended up being retweeted last week by an account called Trump Regrets, which Trump opponents watch to delight in seeing people come around to their opinion. Richardson heard from some of them ― a few who said the election result was his fault, others who thanked him for admitting his mistake.
All of it was a bit unsettling, he said afterward, although he knew that social media made his views public. He doesn't like Trump's Cabinet picks or the "very childish" behavior he exhibited at a press conference last week. And he does regret his vote. Sort of.
"If I went back now I'd probably still vote for Trump because I couldn't vote for Hillary [Clinton]," he said, adding that he found Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson's fiscal policies weaker than Trump's. "I still think Trump would be the better candidate. I'd still regret it. I'd vote for him again but I'd still regret it."
The Huffington Post talked to six Trump voters whose posts ended up on the Trump Regrets account. Many of them said they felt the president-elect had broken his promises about "draining the swamp" and prosecuting Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. Others wish he would just stop tweeting. But like Richardson, they said they still wouldn't choose Clinton if they could go back to Election Day.
"I don't necessarily regret my choice," said a man named Bill, who asked that his last name be withheld to prevent more Twitter backlash. "I regret that we didn't have better choices as a country."
Bill showed up on the Trump Regrets account for a post asking the president-elect to stop tweeting. He has since deleted his original tweet ― he was getting tired of the ire coming his way on Twitter, which he mostly uses to post about sports.
Bill said he would like Trump to act more like President Barack Obama, who he voted against twice but considers "an extremely honorable man who served the country fantastically."
That was Trump's whole thing: 'We're going to clean up Washington, we're going to drain the swamp.' The swamp is full again. It's actually fuller.Scott Ford
Andrew, a 48-year-old who also asked that his last name be withheld, said he expects there will be "epic, Teapot Dome type of scandals" under Trump and does not think the president-elect has done enough to sever himself from his businesses. Andrew considers himself a libertarian ― fiscally conservative, socially liberal ― and said he voted for Obama twice. He struggled with whom to vote for until Election Day, but ultimately just didn't like Clinton on domestic policy as much as he liked Trump.
Andrew said he regrets voting for Trump "a little bit."
"Time will tell if I'm really going to start slamming my head against the wall and going, 'Oh my goodness, what did I do?'" Andrew said.
Scott Grayban, 52, said he "almost blew a gasket" when Trump appointed his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as a senior adviser to the White House. "It's not regret that I voted for Trump, it's regret that Trump isn't with the people who have experience," Grayban said.
He was disappointed yet again over Trump's "mind-boggling" dismissal of intelligence reports about Russia attempting to influence the election. Grayban said he fears there might be some sort of business or personal ties between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that his family members could be helping to cover them up.
"I'm thinking, 'Oh, God, you can't be this stupid,'" he said of watching Trump's response to Russia interfering in the election. "But then I started to think, wait a second, maybe he's got some kind of side deal going on with Putin that we don't know about."
Erica Baguma, a 23-year-old Canadian woman, created the Trump Regrets Twitter account. She said she was fascinated by Trump supporters because she's never met one in person.
"When Trump announced he wouldn't be pursuing an investigation of Clinton's emails, I was surprised by the backlash from his base," she said. "I started this account because I realized that the tweets by people starting to regret voting for Trump could tell me a lot about what was important to his voters."
Bob Huff, 60, is one of those Trump voters who was outraged when he said he wasn't going to follow through with his vow to pursue an investigation into Clinton's handling of sensitive emails ― "Typical politician broken promises," as he put it in a tweet that ended up on Trump Regrets.
"I would still vote for Trump over Hillary any day of the week," Huff said. "I just wish he would follow through on all of the promises he made."
Scott Ford said he wishes he had just skipped voting for president altogether, rather than casting his ballot for Trump. Ford said he voted for Democrats for 18 years and supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the primary against Clinton. During the general election, he went back and forth on who to support. Ultimately, he chose Trump, and has gotten grief from friends and strangers from doing so.
Now he is concerned about Trump's Cabinet picks, including former Exxon Mobil Corp. CEO Rex Tillerson for secretary of state and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) for attorney general.
"I really thought this was going to be an election that was going to [create] change," Ford said. "That was Trump's whole thing: 'We're going to clean up Washington, we're going to drain the swamp.' The swamp is full again. It's actually fuller."

OIG to examine post-hospital skilled nursing care in newly added report
The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) added a new item to its Work Plan in March, "Post-Hospital Skilled Nursing Facility Care Provided to Dually Eligible Beneficiaries." This report will identify whether the post-hospital SNF care provided to these beneficiaries met the level of care requirements by looking at whether the SNF level of care was physician-certified, the condition treated at the SNF was a condition for which the beneficiary received inpatient services or if it was a condition that arose while the beneficiary was receiving care in a SNF, if daily skilled care was required, if the services provided were reasonable/necessary for treating the illness/injury, and if improper Medicare payments were made on the claims that will be reviewed.
This report is expected in FY 2020. Read the full Work Plan item description on the OIG website.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
–1 Corinthians 11:26-32

The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast
The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast
Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good
Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue
We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.
His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust
Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity
If a man possesses a repentant spirit his sins will disappear, but if he has an unrepentant spirit his sins will continue and condemn him for their sake forever
He who loves 50 people has 50 woes he who loves no one has no woes

South Park Gateway
Building a Culturally Rich Community Gateway for the South Park NeighborhoodSupport This Project
Building a Culturally Rich Community Gateway for the South Park NeighborhoodSupport This Project
The South Park Merchants Association invited CREÄ Affiliates to help design a gateway that would reflect the many cultures that have called the Duwamish Valley their home. CREÄ designers and planners helped establish a steering committee to review the design, employing a number of conventional and unconventional methods to reach deep into the community and solicit input from children, elders, and others. CREÄ also worked closely with a number of city and county departments to review the design's feasibility and ensure that the gateway would meet high standards for safety, resilience, and ease of maintenance.
To build and install this community gateway, we need to raise about $25,000 over the next 12 months. The first column is being installed this Fall thanks to grants from Seattle's Office of Economic Development and the Department of Neighborhoods.The community is looking for funds to create two more gateways at other locations in South Park.

What do CBD and coffee have in common? Besides both coming from antioxidant-rich, intermittently-flowering plants, of course?
There are differences in popularity;
CBD's has come back around only recently, while coffee usage has stayed
pretty consistent over the decades. But the two substances have this in
common: both are currently trending up.
There's a reason for that. CBD and
coffee hit our psychological fixes and meet our physiological needs.
Both of them address — and overcome — normal limitations on our health,
energy, and drive. Use them in tandem, and a perfect pairing emerges.
A Positive (and Pricey) Trend
So maybe it's not surprising that
people are catching on. CBD-themed coffee shops have materialized all
over the Country, and even your favorite local place may be covertly
offering a CBD-infused option or two. The trend isn't selective, either; it's happening in trendy urban areas and in small towns where cannabis use is still frowned on.
While the shift in consciousness this
represents is definitely very cool, that CBD'd latte from downtown's
coffee bar might not exactly be optimal. For one, it may only contain a
few milligrams of CBD — in exchange for a hefty upcharge. And the CBD
this drink does have could've been damaged by heat, or even converted to CBN, if the compound was added to a too-hot beverage.
Finally, the CBD might not be well
mixed into your coffee. You could get an oily first sip…or
accidentally leave CBD in the bottom of an empty cup. This problem is
pretty tough to address given the fact that CBD is usually fat-soluble.
A CBD + Coffee Solution
Thankfully there's a better route to take. You can make CBD-infused coffee yourself!
It'll be cheaper, more convenient, and most importantly, better
than anything you could get from a store. Make the elixir the right
way, and you'll be able to avoid every downside we listed earlier. How?
Let's take a look.
Step one: Select a
high-strength, full spectrum CBD oil or tincture. Preferably a liposomal
one — we'll get to why that's important later.
Step two: Brew your coffee.
Using your favorite method, of course! Then let it cool off a little
bit. If you have a thermometer, you might wait until the coffee drops
below about 150 degrees Fahrenheit before proceeding. Don't worry about
it being cold; research shows that 140℉ is just about optimal anyways.
Step three: Once your coffee
has cooled down, you can accurately add some CBD oil. Measure out either
your daily dose or 10 milligrams, whichever is less. Add this slowly
while making sure the dropper doesn't touch the liquid. You may want to
do this in a larger intermediate container or even a shaker bottle. Once
again, use a high-strength oil for this if you can. The less total
volume you add to the drink, the better.
Step four: Mix. If you've opted to use a liposomal CBD oil (our cinnamon version works perfectly here), you don't have to put too much energy into this step. That's because the smaller liposomal molecules in this type of CBD product are water-soluble — so they'll dissolve right into an equally water-soluble beverage like coffee!
Step five: Throw in some
extras. If you're into bulletproof-style coffee, add butter, MCT oil or
ghee. The additional fat content tastes great, plus it may boost CBD
absorption slightly. You can also add in spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
Not only will they complement the right CBD oil; they'll also add some plant synergy of their own!
CBD + Caffeine = Controlled Energy
At this point, all that's left is to
sit back and enjoy your custom-made beverage. In addition to the normal
energizing effects of, well, normal coffee, you might also notice some less expected
benefits. That's because CBD and caffeine don't just counteract or
balance each other out — they actually complement each other, making it
possible for you to get the best of both worlds. You can be on the
lookout for:
Fewer jitters. A jittery
feeling is one of the worst side effects of coffee consumption…but
with CBD, you may be able to avoid it entirely. CBD calms down systems
that oversee muscular control (like Adenosine A2A) by gently guiding the central nervous system. That means fewer jitters, more relaxed muscle tone, and no heart palpitations!
Less anxiety. It's already known that CBD reduces anxiety. Conversely, even coffee companies themselves are admitting
that caffeine is a drug capable of making anxiety and stress
significantly worse. Since this happens via activation of the same
stress hormones that CBD so powerfully reduces, it may be that taking
CBD with caffeine is the most holistic choice.
A reduced energy crash…or
even a nonexistent one. Since CBD helps regulate fatty-acid liberation
(aka fat burning) and keeps things to a slow burn, it may greatly reduce
the chance of you experiencing a caffeine crash.
Better sleep. If you have the
dubious habit of drinking coffee late into the day, don't worry. CBD may
allow your body and its sleep cycles to stay photo-entrained,
or in sync with the sun. Of course, we don't advocate for this level of
coffee-drinking, but it's nice to know that CBD could still help.
Better sports performance. You probably already know that caffeine is great for many different types of athletes. And if you've been reading our blog, then you know that the same can be said of CBD. Take the two together as a pre-workout, and good things happen.
Both substances boost CNS activation
and fat burning, meaning your energy levels will stay high throughout
even the most difficult workouts. Plus CBD functions as an adaptogen, so
don't be surprised if you find yourself recovering faster in
anticipation of your next workout session!
While more research is needed when it comes to CBD and coffee, the concepts behind using them together are as solid as it gets. Anecdotal evidence is very promising, too, at least when the combo is served correctly — preferably in a DIY-style setting.

Teenage sprinter Dina Asher-Smith has set a new women's British 100m record.
The 19-year-old from London clocked 11.02 seconds at the World Challenge Meeting in Hengelo in the Netherlands to finish second behind home athlete Dafne Schippers, 22, on 10.94 seconds.
But that was enough for Asher-Smith, in her first 100m race of the season, to break the 11.05 second British record set by Montell Douglas in 2008.
Asha Philip, 24, was third in a third-fastest British time of 11.10 seconds.
Asher-Smith is the current World 100m Junior Champion and won a silver medal in the European Indoor 60m in March.
Dutch athlete Schippers also took the gold that day.

Continuing on the subject of the history of the strengths philosophy, if you haven't read Managing Oneself, Peter Drucker's seminal work on the subject, written for the Harvard Business Review in 1999, I suggest you do so. How about this to whet the appetite:
Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong. More often, people know what they are not good at - and even then more people are wrong than right. And yet, a person can perform only from strength. One cannot build performance on weaknesses, let alone on something one cannot do at all.

When Major League Fishing left Maine, the anglers took memories of exciting, fish-catching action on beautiful natural lakes full of bass. They left sonar data to improve fishing maps for those lakes.
"There's not even a Navionics [map] for this lake," said Lowrance Pro Team angler Edwin Evers before an MLF elimination round on of the many picturesque bass fisheries in Maine's Belgrade Lakes region, near Waterville. "I'm going to be sonar-logging, so there's going to be lots of information for you to use."
Evers was one of several MLF competitors who recorded sonar logs while competing in Maine in order to update existing Lowrance Insight maps with even greater detail via Insight Genesis. Savvy anglers use Lowrance's free Insight Genesis service to make custom contour maps of un-mapped bodies of water, improve contour detail on previously mapped waters, and to discover and dissect spot-on-the-spot areas on fish-holding structure.
"Folks, I'm telling you, get involved with Insight Genesis," says Lowrance Pro Team angler Ish Monroe. "It's going to make your fishing a whole lot better, because you can create your own maps and you'll get a lot of information that you never had before on a lake that might not have any maps on it."

While my fellow dads and I had been frequenting the Middlesex Fells for our early Sunday trail runs, we recently rediscovered a trail network further to the northeast, but equidistant from our homes in Boston: Lynn Woods Reservation. Operated by the City of Lynn, the 2,200-acre reservation is said to be the second largest municipal park in the United States, with 30 miles of recreational trails around multiple lakes and spanning three towns. Best of all, the reservation is easily accessible from Route 1 north.
From Route 1, a friend and I take Route 1 north to Walnut Road and park at the Pennybrook Road entrance one recent Sunday. After a brief stretch and a last swig of water, we take the first right off unpaved Pennybrook Road trail—Jackson Path—staying right when it converges with the wider Waycross Road and again at Cornel Path. The weather is perfect: just the slightest chill in the morning air. Our feet feel fast and light on the single-track terrain, which alternates between spongy, rocky, and rooty. Heading north, we hug Breed's Pond on our right until we reach Great Woods Road. (for a quick climb up the 285-foot Burrill Hill to Stone Tower, where you can see all the way to Boston, take the first left after you see the golf course on your right) A right on Great Woods Road and a quick left on Old Pasture Road brings us around the southern-most tip of Walden Pond—no relation—which is the main course of this delicious trail run. At the first red blaze, we bear left onto Overlook Trail, which traverses the northeast side of Walden Pond. This takes us over boardwalks through Meetinghouse Swamp and past selfie-worthy Overlook Crag and impressively large boulders, all over a semi-technical footpath. Compared to the the marshy, hilly lower and middle section of the reservation, this top section is much more rugged and rocky.
A jarring feature of this route is that if you follow Overlook Trail north to its terminus, you've emerged from the forest and run directly into busy Route 1. With the highway on our right, we follow it a short ways until we reach the southward trail (a lefthand turn) that hugs Walden Pond's western shore for a mile or so. As we emerge from the woods onto a narrow retaining wall section of this trail, I spot something I've never seen before in the wild: a lone coyote, no more than 50 yards ahead of us. As the coyote crosses the rocky trail, it peeks back at us before scampering down the hill toward some backyards below the reservoir. Following the trail from the narrow clearing back into the woods, we can't stop talking about what we've just seen. It's difficult to imagine that such wildlife is accessible just 15 minutes outside of Boston.
The smaller trail eventually runs into the wider, paved Walden Pond Rd., which runs into Pennybrook Road—and back to the car.
In total, the route we've chosen has taken us through three towns—Lynn, Lynnfield, and Saugus—totaling just shy of 8 miles. Our 10:09 per mile average pace is reflective of the roughly 750 feet of elevation gain throughout the reservation. As we scampered up boulder-filled hills and along the spines of granite hilltops, we commented that this training will serve us well when we attempt the Presidential Traverse later this summer, the 20-mile White Mountain slog famous for its relentless, above-tree line boulder fields.
It's anyone's guess why the crowds at Lynn Woods are usually sparse, given the volume of waterfront running, the great views from the north side of Walden Pond, the overall quiet of the reservation (except when you're next to the highway)—and the wildlife.
As for other sites not to miss when in the Lynn Woods, there's the Rose Garden, which is beautiful when in bloom, and Dungeon Rock, which is where ghosts compelled a local family to dig for buried pirate treasure in the mid-19th century. For real.

Based on a true story, Adrift looks like a cross between The Perfect Storm and some other horrible disaster movie.
AS it's based on a true story, you can find out how it ends. From the trailer it doesn't look good for at least one of the characters.
ADRIFT is based on the incredible true story of two young adventurers whose chance encounter leads them first to love, and then to a fight for survival. Setting off on the journey of a lifetime across the Pacific Ocean, Tami Oldham and Richard Sharp are pushed to their limits as they sail directly into one of the most catastrophic storms in recorded history. In the aftermath, Tami awakens to find Richard badly injured and their boat in ruins. With no hope for rescue, Tami must find the strength and determination to save herself and the only man she has ever loved. ADRIFT is an unforgettable story about the resilience of the human spirit and the remarkable power of love.

The European Earth-sciences community has proposed a spaceborne, P-band ice sounding radar as a possible Earth Explorer mission, but scattering and propagation through ice-sheets at P-band (435 MHz) is not fully understood, as most ice sounders operate at lower frequencies. Therefore, ESA has assigned DTU Space to develop an airborne demonstrator. The task includes design, implementation, aircraft installation, and a proof-of-concept campaign in Greenland.

Street vending has continued to be a menace in any society.
According to the head of the Consumer Consultation Center Karen Chilingaryan, it is very dangerous to buy fish and meat products from street vendors as they must be stored in the refrigerator.
Under such conditions, bacteria actively multiply in these products, which can lead to serious infectious diseases, including salmonellosis, staphylococcal infection, etc.
As nutritionist Gayane Shahatuni, in her turn, noted it can also be dangerous to buy Armenian sujuk and herbs / spices on the street.
It is also unsafe to buy watermelons and melons on the street, Chilingaryan noted adding that open cafes and restaurants can also be dangerous, especially those that are located near the road.

BLT Pasta BakePosted by Julo at 7:21 PM
Here's a modified version of a Rachael Ray favorite!
1 pound rigatoni (tube shaped pasta)
8 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
2 large leeks, trimmed of roots and dark green tops
salt and pepper
2 T butter
3 T flour
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 c milk
1 c water
1 chicken bouillon cube
3 1/2 c Gruyere cheese, divided
1 T dijon mustard
1 pint grape tomatoes
3/4 c Panko or plain bread crumbs
Cook the pasta to al dente. While pasta boils, fry bacon until crisp. While bacon is cooking, spit the trimmed leeks lengthwise, lay the leeks cut side down, and thinly slice into half moons. Fill a large bowl with water and mix the leeks into the water. Allow the water to settle, and the dirt and grit to settle on the bottom of the bowl. Draw the leeks from the water. Drain them on kitchen towel and pat dry. Add to the bacon pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook about 3-4 minutes longer.
To start cheese sauce, melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, and cayenne pepper. Whisk together and cook for 1 minute more. Whisk in milk and water and chicken bouillon. Bring the sauce to a boil, then simmer to thicken about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in 3 cups of grated cheese and the mustard. Set aside.
Add the tomatoes to the leeks and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
Combine the 1/2 c cheese with bread crumbs.
Combine drained pasta, cheese sauce, and bacon, leek, tomato mixture. Put into greased casserole dish and top with bread crumb mixture. Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes.
Serve with a green salad.
