Advantages of Fly Ash Bricks
These bricks have a pleasing colour like cement, are uniform in shape and smooth in finish, also,
they require no plastering for building work. The bricks are of dense composition, uniformly
shaped with/without a frog, free from visible cracks, warp-age, organic matter, pebbles and
nodules of free lime. They are lighter in weight than ordinary clay bricks and less porous too. The
colour of flyash bricks can be altered with the addition of admixtures during the process of brick
making. They come in various sizes, but generally are similar to the sizes of clay bricks.
Structural Capability
These bricks can provide advantages being available in several load-bearing grades, savings in
mortar plastering, and giving smart looking brickwork. High compressive strength eliminates
breakages/wastages during transport and handling, the cracking of plaster is reduced due to lower
thickness of joints and plaster and basic material of the bricks, which is more compatible with
cement mortar. Due to its comparable density the bricks do not cause any extra load for design of
structures and provides better resistance for earthquake loads due to panel action with high
strength bricks. Compressive strength of fly ash sand lime bricks is av. 9.00 N/mm2 (as against
3.50 N/mm2 for handmade clay bricks).
Thermal properties
Thermal conductivity is 0.90-1.05 W/m2 ºC (20-30% less than those of concrete blocks). These
bricks do not absorb heat; they reflect heat and gives maximum light reflection without glare.
Sound insulation
It provides an acceptable degree of sound insulation.
Fire and vermin resistance
Flyash bricks have a good fire rating. It has no problems of vermin attacks or infestation.
Durability and moisture resistance
These blocks are highly durable, after proper pointing of joints, the bricks can be directly painted
in dry distemper and cement paints, without the backing coating of plaster. Rectangular faced
with sharp corners, solid, compact and uniformly Water absorption is 6-12% as against 20-25%
for handmade clay bricks, reducing dampness of the walls.
Toxicity and Breath-ability
There are no definite studies on the toxic fume emissions or the indoor air quality of structures
built with flyash bricks, though claims of radio active emissions by these blocs have been made at
some scientific forums.
Flyash as a raw material is very fine and care has to be taken to prevent from being air-borne and
causing serious air pollution as it can remain airborne for long periods of time, causing serious
health problems relating to the respiratory system. Though block manufactured from flyash has
no such problems.
(environmental impacts)
Fly ash is a cocktail of unhealthy elements – silica, aluminum, iron oxides, calcium, magnesium,
arsenic, mercury, and cadmium, and poses serious environment and health hazards for a large
population. But the brick is better off, for flyash changes into a non-toxic product when mixed
with lime at ordinary temperature as the calcium silicate hydrates and forms a dense composite
inert block. Thus having the potential as a good building material, while offsetting about
100million tonne's of flyash annually produced in India by the numerous thermal power plants,
which could cause serious contamination of land, groundwater and air.
Buildability, availability and cost
The blocks have an easy workability and high compressive strength eliminates breakages/wastage
during handling giving a neat finish, with lower thickness of joints and plaster. The construction
technique remains the same as regular bricks ensuring easy change of material, without requiring
additional training for the masons. Though these bricks are abundantly available closer to thermal
power plants all over the country for obvious reasons, finding dealers in all major cities and
towns wouldn't be a problem.
The blocks being available in several load bearing grades are suitable for use: -
• Load bearing external walls, in low and medium size structures.
• Non-load bearing internal walls in low and medium size structures.
• Non-load bearing internal or external walls in high-rise buildings.

Quality of life among people living with hypertension in a rural Vietnam community
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Background - To respond to growing prevalence of hypertension in Vietnam, it is critical to have an in-depth understanding about quality of life (QOL) among people living with hypertension and related factors. This study aimed to measure QOL among hypertensive people in a rural community in Vietnam, and its association with socio-demographic characteristics and factors related to treatment. Methods - This study was conducted in a rural community located 60 km from Ho Chi Minh City. Face-to-face interviews were conducted among 275 hypertensive people aged 50 years and above using WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to examine mean scores of quality of life. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and Pearson's correlation coefficient were applied to estimate the internal consistency, and the level of agreement between different domains of WHOQOL-BREF, respectively. Independent T-test and ANOVA test followed by multiple linear regression analyses were used to measure the association between QOL domains and independent variables. Results - Both overall WHOQOL-BREF and each domain had a good internal consistency, ranging from 0.65 to 0.88. The QOL among hypertensive patients was found moderate in all domains, except for psychological domain that was fairly low (mean = 49.4). Backward multiple linear regressions revealed that being men, married, attainment of higher education, having physical activities at moderate level, and adherence to treatment were positively associated with QOL. However, older age and presence of co-morbidity were negatively associated with QOL. Conclusion - WHOQOL-BREF is a reliable instrument to measure QOL among hypertensive patients. The results revealed low QOL in psychological domain and inequality in QOL across socio-demographic characteristics. Given the results, encouraging physical activities and strengthening treatment adherence should be considered to improve QOL of hypertensive people, especially for psychological aspect. Actions to improve QOL among hypertensive patients targeted towards women, lower educated and unmarried patients are needed in the setting.

The potential series will follow the adventures of Lunella Lafayette, a black nine-year-old super-genius who happens to be inhuman. She teams up with her crimson-colored dinosaur and is said to use, "her smarts to save the day."
There is no word on which Disney Channel outlet the show will eventually land. The series falls under Fishburne's overall deal at ABC Studios.
Fishburne will also be seen in the big screen in July, as Dr. Bill Foster/Goliath, in Marvel Studios' Ant-Man and the Wasp.

WHEY PRO2 ISOLATE is a pure hydrolyzed isolated whey protein scientifically proven as being over 600% more effective for muscle growth support than other proteins.
WHEY PRO2 ISOLATE is formulated with hydrolyzed isolated whey protein , enzymatically hydrolyzed protein providing short-chain peptides, high levels of protein and essential amino acids. Easy to prepare and delicious flavors. Must be taken after physical activity.
Pure Whey Peptide Isolate; 100% Hydrolyzed Whey Fractions; "Bio-Active" Peptide Isolates; Highest Nitrogen Retention; More Protein per Gram than Any Other Protein-Made Product; Aspartame-Free!
Protein is the critical nutrient responsible for tendon, ligament, and muscle strength. The more effective the protein is at nourishing and supporting the recuperation and growth process of these critical links, the more injury-free strength, power and lean muscle growth you will be able to produce.
A new scientific study recently uncovered some startling new facts about the different effects certain proteins have on supporting strength increases and muscle fiber growth.
This breakthrough study showed that WHEY PRO2 ISOLATE increased strength in subjects by 156% more than other proteins! And this same study revealed WHEY PRO2 ISOLATE produced over 615% more lean muscle growth while at the same time promoting a reduction in body fat!
Your muscular growth and strength potential is only as good as the nutritional support you provide your body. Feed it sub-par protein and you'll get sub-par results. This is not an opinion, this is a scientific fact.
The Science WHEY PRO2 ISOLATE has enhanced absorption kinetics that shuttle large amounts of the amino acids essential for protein synthesis directly into muscle and other tissues. This enhanced delivery system relieves the metabolic burden on muscle having to supply all organs and tissues with these amino acids. This leaves a more potent supply of critical amino acids within muscle and promotes a more constant, uninterrupted state of protein synthesis, cell volume, and muscle anabolism.
WHEY PRO2 ISOLATE creates a high level of cysteine within the bloodstream. Research has shown this to be essential to the protein regulation process within the body. A high and constant supply of cysteine channels protein metabolism towards muscle growth and away from muscle breakdown. WHEY PRO2 ISOLATE cysteine supply relieves the burden on muscle, enhancing muscle anabolism and strength. WHEY PRO2 ISOLATE is also high in cysteine (two cysteine amino acids joined together). This dipeptide is extremely rare in other foods and protein supplements. It is critical to the formation of glutathione within the body.
Glutathione is the centerpiece of all antioxidant and detoxification defense systems within our body and is the third biochemical pathway that leads to muscle growth and strength increases.
The research on glutathione's relationship with muscle is clear. Heavy and intense training lowers glutathione levels. Increasing cellular glutathione leads directly to increases in muscle mass and strength. WHEY PRO2 ISOLATE promotes elevated glutathione levels for dynamic increases in strength and muscle mass.
Anyone looking for muscle building.
As a dietary supplement, take 2 scoops (25 g of protein) with 8-10 oz of water or any beverage of your choice (better not use whole milk). Take 1-2 servings per day, after training or as needed as the protein amount required to meet your nutritional needs.
Is available in 3 delicious flavors (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, Cookies & Cream).
INGREDIENTS: Hydrolyzed Protein Isolated from Whey, Artificial Flavorings and Sweeteners: Sucralose and Acesulfame-K. GLUTEN-FREE.
INGREDIENTS: Hydrolyzed Protein Isolated from Whey, Flavoring, Natural Red Beet Sugar Dye and Artificial Sweeteners: Sucralose and Acesulfame-K. GLUTEN-FREE.
INGREDIENTS: Hydrolyzed Protein Isolated from Whey, Cocoa, Flavoring and Artificial Sweeteners: Sucralose and Acesulfame-K. GLUTEN-FREE.
INGREDIENTS: Hydrolyzed Protein Isolated from Whey, Crushed Chocolate Cookies, Flavoring and Artificial Sweeteners: Sucralose and Acesulfame-K. CONTAIN GLUTEN.

Today I have two pretty spring cards to share with you created with a number of new products from the new release.
My first card features the new Falling Rain Cutting Plate. I die cut the plate from watercolor paper and used distress inks to add the color with a blending tool and then spritzed the paper with water. The sentiment is from the new Rain or Shine Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment on vellum in Sugar Cube Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I added machine stitching to the side of the vellum.
The rainbows are from the Rainbows Bouquet Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating Rainbow Bouquet Die. This is an older stamp set but one of favorites! I colored the image with Copic Markers. The sequins are from the Snow Flurries Sequin mix.
My next card feature the Petite Petal Background Stamp. I stamped the background on Salt Water Taffy Cardstock with Versamark Ink and embossed with a Pearl White embossing powder. To create the frame I used the Stitched Oval Stacklets and the Inside Scallop Oval Stacklets. Behind the frame I added Window Acetate and foam to form the shaker.
I used the Bloomers Greenery Dies to add leaves at the top of the shaker on a pattern paper from the new Playful Patterns - Sweet Paper Pack and dropped in sequins from the new TE Sequins - Pretty Pastels. "Hello" is die cut with the Hello Script Die from Sugar Cube Cardstock and then I added the variegated color with Salt Water Taffy and Cookie Monster Ink. "Friend" is from the Friendly Phrases Stamp Set.
Thanks for visiting! If you'd like to see more projects and new product information, please head over to the TE Blog for a complete list of our participating designers!

Canceling Credit Cards The Right Way
Canceling unused credit cards is an excellent idea, but keep a few things in mind to do it right.
Keep an account open, and don't let the card issuer know you're thinking of canceling until the balance is paid off. Some issuers may increase the interest rate if you try to cancel while you still have a balance.
If you cancel your credit card over the phone, know that your card issuer may transfer you to someone who will try to convince you to keep the card. Also, make sure you receive written notification from the card issuer of your cancellation and write down the day, time, and who you spoke with for your records. Ask the card issuer to report that the account was "closed at customer' request."
If the card issuer offers you a better rate or an improved deal on a card you're trying to cancel, get all the details; consider keeping it and possibly canceling another card instead.
If you have balances on several cards, consider consolidating those balances on one or two low-rate cards and cancel the rest.

Thursday we take off on our cruise so I thought I would update this page early; we won't be back until late in the evening of August 12. We are so excited. We will be taking the computer and plan on uploading pictures every three or four days.
I have tallied the poll on how full-timers get or plan to get email on the road and I have added a new poll. The question this time is for married couples and there are two separate sections---one for the husband and one for the wife. The basic question is will the wife learn to drive the RV and will she do it. Please take a minute to put your two cents worth in. Poll.
To give you something new to read, I have uploaded the next installment in our old newsletters. This one from November 1996 is one of my favorites (I love them all really). The headline reads, Red Roads All the Way. That story is in our book, Movin' On but with the pictures and the rest of the newsletter (Potpourri, Campground Report, Letters, Coffee Break, Good Places to Eat and This and That) it all comes together nicely. I hope you enjoy it and that you can make the same trip yourself someday.
We only had a half of a dozen replies to last month's picture and all
of them were correct. It appears that those who knew were sure otherwise
no one even had a clue what to guess. If you are dying to know where it
was taken please take a little trip to our Mystery
Picture page. When you guess correctly you will get to read
a little from my diary regarding our visit to that school since we never
wrote about visiting that place before (again that was long before we were
writing our newsletters). This is so much fun to revisit places again.
August 7
Hello from somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. So far the cruise has been wonderful. We have seen a lot and eaten way more than we should. We have met some wonderful people and enjoyed a lot of great entertainment, but we are getting anxious to get back home and be in our comfortable routine again. We always said that being on vacation 24/7 is too tiring; it is not normal.
One of the things we have done is compare RV travel to this cruise and there is no comparison. For us, we think that RVing is more comfortable and enjoyable, but most of the people on this cruise have been on many cruises (one couple boasted that this was their 30th cruise). Yes, it is fun to be pampered for a little while but we would rather have more time to explore and be less pampered. The ship is only in port for a few hours (maybe 8 hours) and the touring has to be done in a hurry. We are both going to write about this comparison after we get home.
The Westerdam is not the biggest ship in the world but it is plenty big enough
and too big to get it all in a picture.
Our stateroom is quite large and has a balcony beyond the doors Ron is sitting in front of.
So far we have taken tours in Amsterdam, Holland, Honfleur, France,
Vigo, Spain, Lisbon, Portugal, Cadiz, and Malaga, Spain and are on our
way to Sardinia, Italy now. Highlights in each are varied but
At dinner on the ship that evening we were all given traditional Dutch hats.
It is fun to dress for dinner once in a while. Here we are Ron is at the captain's reception.
We were impressed with the beautiful Muller family from Connecticut.
On a tour in Vigo, Spain, we see our ship and the muscle farms (in the background) in the bay.
We had a wonderful tour in Lisbon, Portugal. Above is the monument to the navigators.
In Cadiz, Spain, we saw cathedrals, iron work on balconies and narrow streets. Very charming.
August 13
We are home safe and sound but very tired. Our flight out of Athens was delayed for 7 hours. We ended up in a New York hotel last night and flew home early this morning. I have more pictures to share and will do it soon.
August 14
We are a little rested. I am adding the rest of the pictures now and will do the articles later.
After Cadiz, Spain, we went to Malaga, Spain,
which was very beautiful. They boast being home to Pablo
Palermo, Sicily, Italy, was beautiful. The architecture was just outstanding as you might imagine something in Italy would be.
The insides of this cathedral were impressive but my pictures just don't do it justice.
Here we are again on another of the formal nights. We always felt so elegant.
On the next to the last night on board the chefs prepared a dessert extravaganza for a late night snack. That was awesome. Below are some of the pictures of the tables which were set up out around the swimming pool.
August 18
We just finished our articles and wanted to share them with everyone. My article is: Exploring and Ron has added a few thoughts in Our First Cruise.
August 22
I have added a foot note to my Exploring article (which is an email from a reader) and I went even further to print another email in the Guest Articles section. They both add a lot to the subject of exploring.
I have another guest article coming soon. This
one will be on families on the road. I have been wanting an article like
that for ages so I am excited about that.

Hello everyone! So yesterday, I went to celebrate Berlin's(bf's cousin) 21st birthday. It was a birthday surprise that Berlin's bf & mom planned. My bf and I were the first ones who reached Warren Golf & Country Club, surprisingly!! We waited for his family to come, then Berlin finally came. She was blindfolded and was brought to the conference room. I'll just let the pictures do the talking!
And, the reason why there is 5 cakes is because, the bf also celebrated his mom, sister & brother's bday too cause they were overseas and he didn't get to celebrate their birthday.
I was already super full cause I ate mac just before we got there. But there is always space for cakes :p HAHAHA.
This kinda sums up my Sunday hahaha. Can't wait for this weekend to come!!!
In school today, B class had a photobooth set up and I went to take a photo with my fav girls, Joyce and Eunice <3 I can't wait for our outing on Sunday!
Alright, that's all for today! Gotta edit my photos for my project and I have one last place to go and shoot tomorrow, can't wait to get done with all my projects!!! Good night everybody! <3

The Key West bicycle riding sightseeing strategy always has Fort Taylor Park on the list. You only need about two weeks to know everything about Key West, or at least see a good amount of the core places. The cost is cheaper if you ride into the park on bicycles over the automobile. At least every other day we go to one of the beaches to swim. To see it all, you have to keep doing and seeking new things only. Some of the big attractions you have to go once, an this is a prime example. Places like the snorkel park at Fort Taylor are something you will want to do many times.
Janna G.
Always a good time is a visit to this wonderful Beach Park, that actually has a huge history behind it and a fort inside. The water is excellent for swimming and nice for cooling off in the summer. The swimming pool back at the Mills Place condo was a lot warmer than the water temperature here along the Shoreline. Bring your snorkel and fins, if it is a low wind day and the water is flat for better Snorkeling. We brought the kayak down and there is a location for kayak launching over to the left. This area is pretty tough for Kayaking, because of all the boat traffic. Some of the boats are really big and they put out some serious wake. There were some people fishing on the rock formations, but I never really saw them catching a whole lot of much. The best thing about this park is the shade, there is a lot of good shady trees up in the center to put your chairs underneath.

During permanent hair removal, a powerful laser light beam passes through the skin to target individual hair follicles. The laser energy damages the follicles and inhibits future hair growth, but does not harm the patient's skin. Several sessions are recommended because hair can only be affected when it is in the growth stage. Since not all of your hair develops at the same time, sessions are scheduled a few weeks apart to ensure all of your hair follicles are treated. Laser hair removal is safe for all areas, including the face, arms, back, underarms, legs, chest and the bikini area.
Your hair type and the size of the treatment area will determine the number of sessions you will need. Most treatment sessions last less than a half-hour, making them easy to fit into a busy schedule. Unlike shaving or waxing, laser hair removal will not cause major skin irritation or cuts. Some patients may experience a sunburn-like sensation and minor swelling, but they will be able to resume their normal activities immediately following treatment.
To schedule a consultation please contact NeoVision and say goodbye to unwanted hair for good!
Shaving can be a time-consuming part of your daily routine. Imagine what you could do with an extra 15 minutes to get ready for the day. With permanent hair reduction, you can have more time to sleep in or drink your morning coffee. The Icon laser effectively removes unwanted hair with long-lasting hair removal technology.

Matching mother/daughter outfits are so horrible, and I hate them. I AM TOTALLY LYING. I LOVE THEM!!!!! Hahahahaha.
It's true. While I don't think babies should have on mini versions of the exact same thing their mommies are wearing, I love the look of coordinated outfits. That's why I love today's ensemble!
Today we're headed to Lily's second birthday party, so we wanted to wear something cute but comfortable. Plus, it's like 43 degrees below zero today (we were freezing our butts off while taking these photos), so we have to stay warm.
On Harper: Serendipity Hat by Brandy Fortune - Hand-knit by Mommy T-Shirt - Sprockets (thrifted) Sweatshirt - Genuine Kids by Osh Kosh (thrifted) Pants - Big Butt Baby Pants by Rae, sewn by Mommy Socks - Old Navy boot socks Shoes - Bought at mall Kiosk (Fashion Place) for $12
On Mommy: Shirt: Boden (thrifted) Skirt: Gap (thrifted) Sweater tights: Nordstrom Rack Boots: Uggs (weak moment!! But obviously, they have gotten a lot of use over the years)
Boden has to be one of my favorite brands of clothing. I LOVE when I find it at the thrift store. It's always in the wrong size section since the sizes are British. This shirt was in the large section and is a size 10. A British size 10 is equivalent to a US 4! Score!
These last two photos are more because...well...is there anything cuter and sweeter than a sleeping baby?!
What do YOU think about coordinating mommy/daughter outfits?!

Topshop Beauty are celebrating their 5th Birthday by re-releasing their bestselling products in limited edition, rose gold packaging.
There are 13 products in total, Magic Liner in Engraved, five lipstick shades (Innocent, Ohh La La, Nevada, Beguiled and Rio Rio), Glow Pot in Polished (cream highlighter), Cream Blush in Head over Heels and five nail polishes (Green Room, Adrenalin, Boy Next Door, Parma Violet and Heart of Gold).
Boy Next Door is a lovely duck egg blue. The formula is a little on the watery side, however, the application is made easy with the wide brush. I applied three coats but with lighter pressure and a thicker coat, it is possible to get away with two.
I then finished with a top coat and quick dry nail drops.
Top tip: To make your manicure last longer, apply a top coat every day.
This polish costs just £6 and is available now!

Home Cures for Vaginitis
Vaginitis can affect women of all ages. The vaginitis condition is characterized by swelling of the vagina and occurs as a result of bacteria, yeast or parasites assailing the vaginal organs. Some other symptoms associated with this disorder are redness, burning sensation during the urination process, foul-smelling vaginal discharge and bleeding. A hormonal disparity is another plausible reason for this vaginitis occurrence.
The treatment course for vaginitis can include home remedies at first. Only if the distress seems to mount after following the regime then the doctor can be consulted.
Home Remedies
Pursue the below-mentioned home remedies in an effort to win the vaginitis fight.
- Yogurt Remedy
Yogurt is known to contain healthy bacteria which can combat the unhealthy bacteria and hence the consumption or application of yogurt is advised to enjoy the attached healing benefits. Cotton balls can be soaked in yogurt and placed in the vaginal cavity. Yogurt can also be applied directly over the infection.
Consuming bowls of yogurt during the course of the day is also recommended to recover from the vaginitis state.
- Garlic Therapy
The anti-septic and anti-bacterial qualities of the garlic bulb can also contribute in treating vaginitis. Fresh organic raw garlic cloves can be consumed daily to reap the advantages of the bulb.
Pressed garlic cloves can also be covered in gauze and rested in the vaginal opening for 30 minutes for respite from the vaginitis turmoil. Repeat the remedy at intervals of 3-4 hours for recovering from vaginitis in a timely fashion.
- Cold Compresses
Cold compresses can also be handy when suffering from vaginitis. A clean cloth can be immersed in tepid water and placed in the vaginal infection area for 20 minutes to reduce the inflammation and burning sting effects of the vaginitis abnormality.
Ice cubes can also be stroked on the vagina. An ice-pack can also be prepared where few ice-cubes can be wrapped in cloth and patted on the vaginal part for some minutes for relief from the vagintis anguish.
- Tracheal Herb
The tracheal herb is a strong detoxifying agent and can be utilized during the vaginitis recuperation period. Dried tracheal leaves can be placed in a cup and topped with hot water. Allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes. Thereafter strain the tea and sip the ready tea whilst allowing the herb to do the trick of soothing the infected vaginal section.
- Cranberry Juice
Cranberry juice is an effective remedy to cure the vaginitis state due to its anti-bacterial nature. The acidic properties of the juice can restrict the growth of bacteria as bacteria cannot survive in acidic backgrounds. Guzzling the unsweetened cranberry juice selection on a daily basis can prevent and cure vaginitis. However only 1 glass per day is the prescribed limit of cranberry intake.
- Tea Bags
The tannin nutrient in tea can also counter-attack the vaginal infectious condition. Tea bags can be immersed in water and then kept in the refrigerator until cooled. The cold tea bag can then be placed in the afflicted vaginal bodily fraction to ward-off the itching symptoms of the vaginitis anomaly.
The therapeutic value of chamomile is also useful in the vaginitis combat. Chamomile tea bags can be used here. The tea bags can be dipped in hot water and kept for 2-3 minutes. Then allow the tea bag to become cold after which the tea bag can be inserted into the vaginal hole. Squeeze the bag so that the liquid can flow into the vagina to begin the remedial action. Repetition of this remedy for 2 weeks can assist in neutralizing the vaginitis infectivity.
- Turmeric Cure
The anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial features of turmeric can also help restore normal vaginal functions. Turmeric powder can be stirred in 1 glass of hot milk and gulped two times during the course of the day until the infection subsides.

In a little more than a month, you don't be able to play Paragon any more. But you will be able to use the game's assets for your own projects, thanks to another bout of generosity from Epic Games.
Developers using Unreal Engine 4 can now make use of characters, skins, animations, VFX, dialogue, and environment components from Epic Games' MOBA. The assets are being released for free, despite Epic claiming they were developed at a cost of $12 million. Epic intends to release more asset packs throughout spring and summer 2018.
What does all this mean? In theory, this means that a game like, say, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds — which uses UE4 — could incorporate Paragon's characters into its games, possibly as skins. As a developer, I'm not sure I'd care about using assets heavily linked to characters from a "failed" game in my projects, but there could still be plenty of more anonymous assets, such as animations or environmental objects, that could come in handy.
This news should also signify that there's no chance Paragon is coming back, no matter how many signatures a petition gets. Companies don't generally give away millions of dollars worth of assets if they're planning to make more money with them.
You can read the full announcement on the Unreal Engine 4 site.

If you don't be able to play, then you don't be able to slay.
I predicte this decision! GOOD ! This moba was much better then any existing crap ! Anyway i dont like any of them brainless oen map pvp in every moba, there shoudl be something new, moba with progressing and rpg elemnts, existing mobas air brainless pvp over and over and over.. the real mechanic for moba succes is Smashmuck champions, you progress there , rpg elements, gameplay was so cool too but can implement mechanics in some progressive mobas, game is still alive like i know on consoles SMC.
Nice going to see a lot of Paragon updates for Unreal.

Alright as promised, here is James' back-story. I thought it over a million times and there is NO way a guy like James would break down and explain his life-long tragedies to any soul. So this portion of the story just HAS to be by itself. It's going to be told in a FPPOV of James but he's not explaining it to anyone per se; just reliving the moments in his head if you will. Also it's not actually showing a step-by-step of his life, but explaining and showing some of the things that basically happened – the important things.
Kay, hope this comes out alright. I'm brain-fried from school and on the mend… again. I just love waking up with a swollen throat in which I can't speak nor eat! FUN times.
Anyways, enjoy the mini-chapter and ignore my rambles… Oh and be warned: Once you enter James' mind, there is no turning back O_O
My life. Ah, such a glorious thing to reminisce on. If I could change it in any way, would I? Probably. It's not the high, glamorous life one could possibly live, but it was my life and it shaped me into the man I am today. I like to think of myself as a… caring soul; one who could easily find the good in any situation… and then smash it with a brick! Most would believe that I was forced into such behavior and that my undoubtedly horrible life made me a monster. Oh, how foolish those people are. Sure I have been engaged in some turmoil's just like the next, but it doesn't mean I am how I am because of it.
To say I am unloving would be a fact to an extent. I believe that there have only been two people in my life where my heart actually ached for their attention. The first, of course, is my beautiful mother… Rose. She was perfect in every manner; no one could argue differently. She had a voice as soft as silk and her smile… oh her smile, it could quite literally lift your spirit.
She was such a gentle creature, most were unsure of how I became to be so, as one would say, evil. But isn't that a bit much? I'd like to think so. I find myself no where near the superior of evil.
I am not one to laugh at a lot of things, unless I find it ungodly funny. In my life, the most hilarious man I have ever encountered was my own father – he was just too much to bare! He knew of my ways and how I reacted towards others. If any man could hate their own child, it was my father and his hatred towards me. Oh how I would laugh at his pain of knowing, where my mother was completely clueless. What made it even better was the fact that he wouldn't say a word about it!
He would never say a thing because of his love for my mother. You see, my mother had a problem when it came to bearing a child. The doctors told my parents, that if she was to ever get pregnant once more… she would surely die. So, my mother took precautions and had her tubes burned – she just couldn't risk it.
With this being said, my mother cherished me… her little miracle baby. My father, knowing how much I meant to my mother, would not do a single thing to get in the way of that – which made doing what I wanted so much easier.
When I was a boy, I would do petty things that could never measure up to who I am today. I killed animals that belonged to neighbors and school children. I found it hilarious to watch them beg with their eyes; then to smash their head in and watch their eyes pop out! My father caught me numerous times killing the pathetic creatures – he would do nothing. He knew that if he told my mother of my antics, she'd be crushed… or wouldn't believe it. He cared more about his relationship with her, than what I did behind her back.
When I was the age of six, I considered my life the perfect one. I swore to myself each night that it would only get better than it was today! I could do what I wanted and destroy anything that got in my path! I was even so fortunate to murder a child walking home from school. Oh the look on her face when I smashed it with a rock… it was pure bliss.
Of course, like with any life, nothing ever stays on that road of perfection; there is always something to hinder your joy! For me, it was when my mother went to a very unfortunate doctor's appointment. As casual as he tried to make it sound for my mother, there was honestly no easy way to tell her… that she had cancer.
Hearing that news put my father in a spiraling depression. He couldn't think straight and he refused to even touch a piece of food. I was amused at my father's pain, but I felt sorrow in my heart for my mother. She was the only woman that I ever cared for; she was my entire life. I have only shed an honest tear once in my life, and it was for the pain my mother experienced.
Of course through it all, she would tell me how much she loved me and that I needed to be a strong boy and look after my father. On the outside I agreed with her dying wishes, but in my head… I knew it would never come to pass. I cared nothing for my father and even my pleading, deathly mother couldn't change my mind on the matter.
Eventually my mother passed on later that year. She suffered a great deal, and it caused my father to just lose his mind. I say he never paid me any mind before, but during her sickness… I don't even recall him blinking in my direction – I was completely nonexistent. It never bothered me any, but it was the aftermath that made me loathe the pathetic man!
You see, not long after my mother passed… my father relinquished his rights of me. He shoved me into the system and the government allowed him to personally choose a place for me to stay. My father knew what he was doing but no one even tried to stop him. They didn't care where I went or what happened to me… and neither did he.
I will never forget that unfaithful day when he dragged me by my hair across the lawn and yelled foul words into my face. How he blamed me for my mother's death and said I was the devil and deserved to be tortured.
What a laughing matter that was! I was completely appalled at his mocking tone and his harsh words. I swore under my breath that he would rue the day. I kept my thoughts to myself though, because I'm not one to share my secrets with others. No, it would be a day he least expected…
After my father was through with all the held-back comments, he shoved me through the front door of that house… and then took off. The man, Chester Wall, was expecting my arrival. Apparently he was a foster home and he took in abandoned children. Oh what a laugh that was! He wasn't doing this out of the kindness of his heart, he was doing it for money and for children to get him off where others couldn't. As I stated before, this man was way outside the means of actually fitting government protocol… but no one cared. They never visited the house, they never made sure I was safe. They just threw some money at a pedophile and everyone kept quiet. No one wanted to put up with children who were truly unlovable.
I could do a lot at my young age, but something I couldn't do… was overcome this man. He was bigger than I and much stronger as well. He had swift movements and he was very quick to think – very conniving. When I thought I was one step ahead of him, he was already two steps in front of me. I could never outsmart him, so I was forced to do as he said. He controlled my life and everything in it; I had zero escape.
I wasn't the only one in that life though; Robert shared the same pain as I did. He was abandoned by his drug addict mother at the age of three. Chester tortured Robert so badly, that he didn't even know life existed outside of it. As I said before, there were only two people in my life that I truly loved. My mother was the first… and Robert was the second. You see, Robert came off as a child who was frightened and alone – which was true for the most part – but once you got inside of his head, it was simply mind-blowing. He shared my passion of killing and getting revenge on others; he found the sight of blood stimulating and he dreamed of killing Chester in so many different ways.
From the moment I met Robert he became my best friend and he became my brother.
Time was absent in a house where there was no peace. I never knew what day it was or the year; I was forced to adjust to a life that was tiresome and prison-like. I never attended school, nor did Robert. We were forced to learn and survive on our own… for the most part. I can only pin-point my intellect to genes. I could never be so smart if I didn't inherit it from somewhere. Also, I learned quite a bit of skills from observing Chester and his way of doing things.
Living life was hard under someone who, in a sense, owned you. You had to follow orders, and if you didn't… you had to pay the price. Chester, being who he was, didn't just punish the guilty party. No, if one did wrong… both were punished.
Our punishments consisted of harsh beatings… and sexually pleasing Chester. He would make Robert and I rub him up and down; lick areas that were not supposed to be seen by young eyes. He would moan in pleasure by just seeing us in the buff and would get off by having each of… do certain things to him.
In my mind, I had always wished punishment stopped at the beatings. It was easier to deal with a bruise and a bloody nose…
Time went on and no children other than Robert and I lived this life – which was something that made me hate this country more. Why was it that Robert and I were the only ones to endure this pain? Were we such outcast in this world that we had to go through such crap and no one else? Where was our equal rights?
After a while though, it didn't matter to us anymore. We already knew that once we were able, we were going to leave this country, this pathetic place, and find a life of our own. For you see, once Robert and I had hit our early teen years… we were no longer pleasing to Chester anymore. In the simplest of terms, our balls dropped and we grew facial hair… something that was repulsive to him. So since we couldn't do our jobs anymore, he just took to beating us on a daily basis. He was frustrated and filled with over-whelming feelings that just couldn't be released anymore – and he took that anger out on us.
Like I had mentioned before, Chester was a smart man; very clever with things. So obviously he would never leave a weapon out in the open for either of us to grab hold of; he wouldn't even let us use a fork. So, as I grew older… I learned to be the one a step ahead of him this time. I found a piece of an old pipe that was rusted and broke in the basement… and I sharped it for months on end. Each night before I went to bed I would rub it against the brass frame of my bed and it would slowly wear down. So, one day I anticipated our evening beating… and as he took blows to Robert's face, I grabbed my sharped pipe and slit his throat. I was done being his punching bag and I was done being controlled by a man! I was my own boss and leader; no one controlled me any longer!
I didn't just stop at this throat though. No, that would be foolish of me. I let him have as many stabs as I felt he needed! I pulled in and out and in and out until he fell to the floor – choking on his blood.
I remember grabbing my battered friend off the floor and carrying him to Chester's 1967 Chevy Impala. I had no experience driving a vehicle whatsoever, but I still managed to start it and take off down the long winding road.
I drove the old car to, what used to be, my home. I had planned on charging into the house and murdering my father cold turkey. I was in a rage; on a killing spree if you will. My blood was pumping and my eyes burned a fearsome red. However, I didn't just barge through the door. No, I stopped and peered through the window first; I was curious as to what he was doing at this exact moment. I wanted to see if he felt sorry for ever abandoning me; for leaving me with someone who he assumed would kill me.
I was surely mistaken…
My father wasn't unhappy, he was the complete opposite. He just replaced my mother… and ME. He could care less of what happened to me. I saw tons of pictures hanging on the wall of my mother but every single one had me excluded. He just pushed me out of his life and mind… and suppressed me into the deep, thick crevasses of his inner being.
Of course when I matured my skills and learned how to cover up a murder… I did away with my father and his slutty bride. I did, however, leave the child unharmed. I let him get thrown into the system just like I had. I could care less if he was my brother! But the thing is, life wasn't hard for Greg! He was adopted by a loving family and lived a wonderful life. It burned me up inside to know that he was living a perfect life, even after his parents had died. I only knew that because I was now apart of the system once again – but this time by choice. I allowed myself to join the military as revenge to this pathetic country. It also supplied me with inside details and skills and they gave me funds… which I used to help Robert live a some-what normal life for the time being. He was smart in a lot of things, but so far lost in others. So I had to make sure my brother was alright, and I don't mean that disgusting creature my father had.
I grew fast in ranks, and right before I was about to take over as general… I found a child on the side of the road. It was a screaming, helpless little girl with purple locks and shimmering eyes. Most believe I had sympathy for her, but I just saw potential. I needed an army of my own to help lead me into victory. Sure I had some followers, but why not raise one to walk in my path? Unfortunately the child never did me any good and only lashed back at what I wanted of her. It's a shame she had to be so fond of my nephew; I swear I could have made some use out of her. But, you disobey… you die.
Speaking of my nephew… what a waste he turned out to be. Sure I got my laughs by making him suffer, in the way I wanted his father to, but still… I thought I would have gotten more out of him. It was quite amusing to watch him go through what I went through as a child. All the beatings, being raped, a poor, unfortunate child lost and controlled by a man. It's the irony of things like this that put a grin on my face.
Plus as a bonus, I was the one who got him to go deaf in his ear! Oh, I was just trying to teach him a lesson… and it just all flowed together so perfectly. What made having Adam around even more enjoyable, is that his father suffered each and every day not knowing where he was. Adam believed I had no idea where they were and Eve… oh Eve… of course I knew that she showed Adam his worried family – nothing ever got by me. I just allowed them to live because their torture of losing their little boy… was just so pleasing to witness.
I have to say though, my favorite person to ever get revenge on… was Noah Terrey. Oh how wonderful it was to watch him suffer for what he put Robert and I through. I could care less about those pathetic siblings of his who caught Robert and had him thrown in jail, without Noah they would have never known!
Plus as a bonus to Noah, I got to sit back and watch his son do my biddings… and then take the fall for everything that I ever had planned. He fell right into my trap and I got to walk away unscathed. Well, I should say escorted away. After all, they had to protect the General from the bad, bad man.
And I say that, with much amusement.
Okay, so now I hope things are even a little more clear for you guys. Also, yes… Adam is related to James; he's his uncle. You remember the guy you saw in Adam's backstory? Adam's father? That's James' half-brother. So really, everything that James experienced as a boy, he used to torture other people… but of course adding his own spice to things. James was never forced into how he was, he was just… always evil. Plain and simple.
