Originally started by Melissa @ The Things I'd Tell You, the Muse Wars continued through eight challenges and then faded into oblivion. I did attempt to kick start it again but failed dismally. But I'll try once more.
- Open to all and sundry, you need to link below in comments. First to list sets next challenge. Anyone can join in, you just need to write a story as your interpretation of the photo in 500 - 1000 words. Can be of any genre - let your mind fly free.
- First to link sets new photo for next challenge. Or can pass it on to next on list but MUST be passed within 24 hours of previous challenge closing.
- Next challenge must be set within seven days of completion of previous challenge.
- Will allow 5 days to complete - so starts Sunday evening, ends Friday night.
Now here is the picture for the first challange:
Forbidden Love
Alina watched her body bend and flex in the mirror, racked with an almost smug satisfaction as she remembered the previous night, where Raul had held her body tight against his, the feel of his warm breath on her cheek, the comfort of his deep brown eyes staring into hers and she shivered.
It was just a few minutes until the wedding and Alina was expected to dance with the grace and dignity only a virgin could. She quickly revisited herself in the mirror, her make up was perfect, not a hair on her head was out of place and her stunning beaded dress was envied by all the young women in the village, still she looked different somehow, guilt washed over her, surely Raul's mother would know.
Alina's sister appeared and quickly ushered her towards the awaiting ceremony, as Alina approached she recalled Raul's secret visit the night before, the way he had caressed and kissed her virgin body until he caused it to shudder and moan uncontrollably in ways she had never imagined. For a woman to experience such divine pleasure before her wedding day was simply unthinkable.
Alina and Raul had known each other since they were small children and she had been in love with him for as long as she could remember, but as was the custom in their village the decision to marry was not one often made by the bride and groom themselves, but in fact, the grooms parents. Raul's mother was a stern woman with unforgiving eyes who was desperately hard to please. She did not like Alina and Alina was terribly uncomfortable in her presence as a result she and Raul had hidden their desperate love for one another over many years.
They had arrived at last, the room was beautifully decorated, flowers filled every crevice and the air was heavy with their fragrance. Alina's friends and family were overflowing the room, their excitement causing quite a din, she glanced up as she entered to see Raul standing nervous but composed at the front of the large room. She carefully took her place opposite him, their eyes met for a second and he shot her a guilty smile, he too filled with blissful memories of the previous night.
The crowd hushed suddenly and they looked up, Sharinda, Alia's oldest sister had arrived. Sharinda entered the room and with the grace and dignity of the perfect bride and took the hands of her groom, Raul. The ceremony was long and words spoken were beautiful, but Alia had heard none of them, her thoughts pre-occupied with guilt and a pang of jealousy, Raul's touch was embedded in her sole. The crowd suddenly burst with cheers and Alia watched as Rauls mother's stern face lit up with pride. The love of Alia's life was now married to her sister.
Alia swallowed the deep sadness for her lost love and took a deep breath in, she let the memory of the previous nights forbidden love bathe her in a warm glow for a moment as she prepared to dance for them, she let her breath out and began to dance, her sister filled with joy, smiled blissfully and she knew she must take their secret to the grave.

When you market your company through email you must have a clear understanding of how to do it correctly. Staying away from the spam filter and getting your audience to read the email is crucial, but what strategies can you employ to make sure this happens? Continue to read this information for valuable information.
Be certain to only send your messages to those you actually know. Mailing recipients who are unfamiliar with you or your product may come across as spam. If you show up as a stranger in their inboxes, they will have no idea if they want to hear what you have to say. If they decide not to bother unraveling this mystery, your email goes in the trash and your marketing efforts will have been a waste.
Focus on your target market. Once you have a few readers, think of ways to encourage them to sign their friends up. Always make sure there is "subscribe" link in the emails you send so that those who receive forwarded copies can easily sign themselves up if they are interested. This will cause your base to grow organically.
If you want to go ahead with e-mail marketing you should get permission from your customers before you email them, you should do this for every single person on your list. If you do not do this, you will be accused of sending spam, and it may cause you to lose some customers.
In order to promote excitement in your customers regarding receiving emails, offer them special discounts or limited promotions in your newsletters. This type of marketing via email gives the readers value for participating, but it may also encourage them to refer their friends. Additionally, having a referral rewards program will help you grow your customer and email base.
The information you have just learned can help save you from the spam filter and in fact help you make your business successful, but you have to apply them. Use them with anything you currently have going on, or create a brand new campaign, and you will be amazed at the results.

Back From SD and Feelin' Dirty
March 29, 2009
I was in San Diego this weekend visiting my friend Chrissy. Not much happened except I got drunk and got tan. Mission Accomplished. I will note, however, that because she did not have cable television, we missed most of the NCAA tournament. Instead, we watched a countless number of movies, played endlessly, while we drank beer and played dominoes. Some highlights include Adventures in Babysitting and Bad News Bears. Over the course of the weekend, we realized we had watched a total of 8 movies that spanned all different genres.
On a side note, it was also my friend's birthday this weekend and we ran across this item in a convenience store down in SD: (How convenient! Zing!)

By the Numbers: Anthony Mantha
Mantha projects to be a 20-goal scorer or better in a full 82-game scheduleby Dana Wakiji @Dwakiji / DetroitRedWings.com
By The Numbers will highlight the Red Wings on-ice accomplishments in the 2016-17 season. Each week during the off-season, By The Numbers will profile a different player on the team, focusing on their statistical highs. This week we focus on forward Anthony Mantha.
Anthony Mantha worked diligently last offseason to add about seven pounds of muscle to his 6-foot-5 frame while not losing anything in terms of speed.
Although Mantha did not make the team out of training camp, an injury forced the team to recall him in November and Mantha never looked back.
Mantha projects to be a 20-goal scorer or better in a full 82-game schedule.
17 - Mantha finished the season with 17 goals, which was 11th among rookies. Toronto's Auston Matthews was first with 40, Winnipeg's Patrik Laine was second with 36 and Carolina's Sebastian Aho was third with 24.
36 - Mantha was also ranked 11th among rookies in points with 36. Toronto's Connor Brown and Nikita Zaitsev also recorded 36 points but did so in 82 games.
60 - After playing in 10 games during the 2015-16 season, Mantha played in 60 this past season. Mantha was called up Nov. 11 after his friend Andreas Athanasiou suffered a knee injury against the Vancouver Canucks.
2 - Mantha tied Athanasiou for the team lead in overtime goals with two. Mantha scored his game-winners on Dec. 29 at Ottawa and March 21 at Montreal. Mantha was first among rookies with the two overtime goals.
10 - Mantha finished the season tied for seventh among rookies in plus-minus at plus-10. Columbus' Lukas Sedlak, Tampa Bay's Jake Dotchin and Chicago's Nick Schmaltz were also plus-10. The leader in that category among rookies was Michigan native Zach Werenski, the Blue Jackets defenseman who was plus-17.
5 - Mantha fractured his finger during a fight with Tampa Bay's Luke Witkowski on March 30, which forced him to miss the final five games of the season. Mantha also had five fighting majors this past season.
54.4 - Mantha's Corsi For percentage (at even strength, the team controlled the puck more when Mantha was on the ice) was the highest among the Wings who played in more than 10 games. No doubt that had a bit to do with playing a lot with captain Henrik Zetterberg, whose Corsi For was second among regulars at 52.2 percent.

Now that Northern Ireland is hosting the 148th British Open in 2019 we have had a rise in interest from golfing groups around the globe! This was most evident last month when we welcomed our VIP golf group from Singapore who enjoyed a wonderful week playing on many of our finest courses including Castlerock, Royal Portrush and Royal Belfast.
For many of these clients it was their first time in the island of Ireland so we put together an itinerary to show the best of what we can offer for both the golfers and their equally important travelling partners! Destinations included Donegal and the Inishowen area, Derry/Londonderry, the charming Bushmills Inn and of course the VIP treatment at Bushmills Whiskey Distillery before heading to the famous Giant's Causeway!
We then headed to beautiful Co Down and visited Mount Stewart, and Strangford - and of course no visit to Northern Ireland is complete without visiting the 'Best Visitor Attraction in Europe' 2015, the Titanic Visitor Experience, Belfast!
Our clients were based in the Hastings Hotels group and over 6 days were given the VIP treatment of private check-ins, private dining in the sophisticated Oak Restaurant of the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa, complete with bespoke menu, which was tailored to fit their cultural tastes. These small touches show we're willing to go that 'extra mile' for you and your clients, and the whole Hastings staff really did an outstanding job in making our clients feel welcome!
Producing a dual itinerary for our golfing group and their partners really encapsulates those 'little touches' that Bespoke Northern Ireland can offer your clients. We understand how important it is to keep those non golfers happy too!
If you are looking for a golfing experience like no other, we would be delighted to work with your group. Get in touch at firstname.lastname@example.com where we can discuss your specific requirements. Maybe you would like to play the 'Home of the 2019 Open' and its neighbouring courses too?

On 26th January Rune Grammofon unleashed (and I do mean unleashed) something special. This label has been releasing great music for over 20 years and with 'The Hands' they have surpassed themselves. The trio of Fire! which consists of Mats Gustafsson, Johan Berthling and Andreas Weliin make music which simply defies labels and classification.
It is rock, it is free jazz, it is,,,well, simply put it is Fire! Anything with Mats Gustafsson at the helm is likely to contain music of a different ilk and this is no exception.
With three masterful musicians, a free flowing compositional style and an equality of direction, this CD has so many references – deathly, dark bass lines, heavy, mutinous drums and of course, the intuitive and perceptive dynamism of Mats' Saxes, the music defies any labels. This is not complex free music but music which is accessible and identifiable on so many levels. At times the guitar-led arrangements are reminiscent of Black Sabbath or Deep Purple with deep, strong rock lines whilst at other times a more psychedelic essence is injected. Often too the influence of free jazz can be heard and felt. This is an album heavy on impact, devious with atmosphere and mood alterations and completely
marvellous in its overall effect. 'Hands' is this trio's 6th album and displays a growth of their togetherness and musical feedback from each other. From the power-driven opener to the quieter end, this album is so listenable. What strikes most of all is the freshness with which the trio approach their music. There is never boredom and never self-satisfaction. Each track offers something a little new, a little different whilst they never lose their essential trio quality and unique style. The trio came together in 2008 and the following year, their debut album 'You Liked Me Five Minutes Ago' was released to wide acclaim. For the musicians, Fire! is a project where they can play outside their comfort zones, or collaborate with prestigious guests such as Jim O ́Rourke (Unreleased? 2011) and Oren Ambarchi (In The Mouth A Hand 2012). It also acts as a simultaneous outlet to their massive 'other' project the Fire! Orchestra which can comprise 30 or so musicians.
'The Hands' opens the CD and this is fierce and compelling. There is a video released to go with the track. Mats told me ''The title track is a killer and we worked hard on the video- old school projections on our bodies with old analogue film projections, wild. We did 20 versions in 1 day and the film maker put it all together in one finished version''. 'The Hands' is immensely powerful, strong and works around a bass and drum interaction in which the rhythmic theme is repeated over and over with the sax introducing its line around the minute mark, the harbinger of around three and a half minutes of improvisation over the theme, returning to echo it at intervals before sailing away on a cloud. The entire track hardly goes above middle C so emphasising the power and hypnotic enchantment. An interesting line is the drum line which goes subtly from simple accompaniment to essentially driving the piece. It ends with some great bass and feedback. 'When Her Lips Collapsed' opens with some distorted vocals over which the drums thunk out with tremendous force before the doom-laden bass line rocks in and up. Rocky with a rhythm which is again hypnotic and Mats' sax enters to offer nothing like sweet contrast but an emphasis on the darker side of the arrangement. From the sax squeals and growls emanate over the rock steady drum and bass lines as Mats explores the notes in and around the limited theme line and adds a few of his own. This is a deep, dark, emphatic number and one which is completely engaging. One of the great things is how the sax line comes back to echo the theme and then soars off time and time again only to return to the home-line as if on some kind of esoteric elastic – exquisite.
'Touches Me With The Tips of Wonder' is spacey, bass-led and atmospheric. The breathy sax notes adding emotive tones whilst the gentle cymbalic touches and brush work of the percussion interjects punctuation over the constant and never ceasing rapid-fire bass line. Using the bass as the percussive undertone is a genius stroke and one which works well on this track. The spoken vocals at the end are somewhat of a surprise. 'Washing Your Heart In Filth' begins with rapid drumming, followed swiftly by a bass line and then the sax adding to the interest with long, drawn out reedy notes. Mats' singular style can be heard clearly here and he uses the sax to 'sing' out the melody. This is a wonderful, lifting number with some incredible counter rhythms going on which completely engage the listener. Possibly the highlight track but they are all so good; the choice will be different for each listen. The best thing about the track is just when you think it can't get any better it does. Towards the end it speeds up and the rhythm changes to a bare-knuckle careen to the finish.
'Up and Down' is sheer power from start to finish, led by the bass line which opens after a drum segue to the final guitar line. Think early days Black Sabbath – tracks like 'Iron Man'; bass-power-led tracks and darkness powered through the music – this track is that and more. The voltaic sax creates a theme of its own over the 8 notes descending, repeated bass line and drums. The free blowing contrasts here beautifully with the power behind it and together the three musicians manage to sound like many more, linked into each other as if bonded by some supernatural force. About a minute from the end it slows right down before we hear what sounds like someone fall over and some talking over a guitar line. Great playing and great music.
'To Shave The Leaves. In Red. In Black' is another forceful number, the power enhanced by the ferocity of the sax lines. The bass and drums provide a stalwart and mesmeric back-beat to the esoteric, oft verging on the maniacal sax lines delivered with clarity and intensity by Mats. On this track you can feel the energy, like some gargantuan force field, barely restrained but kept just enough in check to convey the strength of the piece without losing structure. The cleverness is in the subtle changes of rhythm which are worked throughout the number to emphatically drive home the essence of the track. Just over 9 minutes of brilliance.
'I Guard Her To Rest. Declaring Silence' could be called 'And Now For Something Completely Different'. Gentle introductory lines, a shaped and roughly executed tune from the tenor sax over which the bass enters and then drums with such gentleness in complete and effective contrast to the power-driven tracks which precede this. The loose, caressing sax line is complimented by somewhat oddly placed beats which prevent you from believing this is going to be a relaxing number. The lovely bass lines roll up and down in the background until you have three musicians each playing their own rhythm and lines yet in a combination which melds so well together. A sweet and wondrous arrangement which shows a different side to the trio. There is that unity and at the same time each musician can be heard as an individual if you follow the lines.
This CD is sheer brilliance from start to finish. From the opening to the close you can hear and feel the essential togetherness of the musicians. They each get equal footing and at the same time offer support and contrast to each other. They have played together for a long time and it shows, from the beautiful contrasts in the rhythms of most tracks to the almost miraculous fading out when a solo spot needs the ear. Three great musicians, seven great tracks, what more could you ask?

Hello All,
We have started using Catia V5 R19 for our CAM software. Has anyone tried this and if so how do you like using it?
Best Regards
Hello All,
We have started using Catia V5 R19 for our CAM software. Has anyone tried this and if so how do you like using it?
Best Regards
I've been using it for about 3 years. It is the primary CAM system I'm experienced with. So it's the system I'm most comfortable with. Catia is like an open source operating system. Windows OS's are pretty much ready to go right out of the box. Linux from my understanding is very customizeable, and powerful, but not ready out of the box. With patience, time is superior to windows. I'm in process of trying to automate the machining. Considering taking a three day course on it. Cost three grand though. Do you or anyone else have course materials regarding automation for machining, knowledgeware as it relates to machining. I have postprocessors to offer, tutorials, and a great deal of experience in all aspects of catia and how it relates to machining.
Dear hacdunqh
I'm also a new application of Catia V5 in Cam, I don't have the ppost and tutorial.
May you help me some?
yes I have numerous post processors. Some tutorial stuff too. I will send them to you sometime this week.
Hi guys I am new around here.
I am looking to generate tool paths from catia V5. I am experience with some of the design features but I am having trouble with the machining side. Does anyone have a tutorial for generating tool paths? Better yet does anyone have a somewhat simple part they could send me so I can look through how to "build" a process? I am eventually looking to mill contoured surfaces, so any info on this would also help a bunch. Also, I would like run this in a Bridgeport, anyone have experience with Catia's NC code in these machines?
I know I asked allot of questions but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again,
Johnny K
Any one? I am trying to do contour surfacing on my 3 axis EZ track.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello! I (desperately) need post-processors for Mazak and Hurco (3 axes). If you have something, please help me. Thank you!
Our company has used Catia 3D NC for several years. We send data from our CAD/CAM department to our shop, to machine high toleranced molds.
Recently, we have implemented Catia 2D machining directly in our shop, which will replace an old version of SmartCAM. Our Toolmakers are not happy. We have 20+ people that are good with SmartCAM. Change is a difficult pill to swallow... We have explained that SmartCAM does not fit in with our company vision of having a totally integrated design and manufacturing system. Catia allows many advantages that smaller companies are not so interested in. The few guys that we have trained in Catia feel that they are just as competent as they were in SmartCAM. The learning curve is extensive and it will take time to get everyone trained. As we build-up our expertise, we will need to rely on others who have mastered using Catia.
Our team would really benefit from having a Catia NC users exchange. In searhing the Net, found this professional forum and thought this might be a good place to connect. If there are Catia users out there that have mastered some NC background set-ups, developed interesting knowledge based program shortcuts, etc. we would like to begin some dialog here.
Hope to talk soon.
Catia includes some demo Post Processors (IMS,ICAM & CENIT). You cannot modify them. They have a limited licence only to run as demo. Are not full and not custom made for your needs.
If you use them you wiil need many handmade changes to NC tape.
It is not for professional use.
For Mazak you can use a Fanuk based post processor but with many many handmade changes to the output NCcode.
For 4axis and more, things going more difficult.
Best regards

Following the phenomenal success of TEDxNorwichED: Thinking Differently and TEDxNorwichED: Inspiring Generations we are pleased to announce that TEDxNorwichED is back on the 28th April 2018, with TEDxNorwichED: Dream Big – the only TEDxED event in the Europe in 2018.
Applications are open to anyone – from the unknown to the famous – you do not need to have talked before to apply – but, obviously, we do ask that you are confident that you can present a TED-style talk!
We want to hear your ideas worth sharing, which fit with our theme of Dream Big.
For information about our theme, make sure you check out our homepage– there you will find a summary of what we are looking for at the event.
Our 'Dream Big' theme is purposefully broad – anything that can be linked back to the theme of Dreaming Big goes- it's up to you!
Our theme for 2018 is Dream Big. Talks must fit, in some way into this theme. However, the theme is purposefully broad.
Just some ideas of the types of talks we are looking for are given below- you don't need to meet all of these in your talk- but hopefully this gives you a flavour of how we are interpreting the theme!
We want our speakers to take us on a journey of exploration.
We want talks that continue the conversation- and spark new ones- about Education in its broadest sense, which is not limited by any perceived restraints.
We want talks that help us as we share ideas, share inspiration, and dream big together.
We want speakers that help us as we explore how we can inspire people to dream big dreams, to dream outside the box.
We want talks that help us to search for the dreams that define us and our education system, and answer the question how we can get people ready to pursue their dreams.
We want speakers who will encourage us to discuss how we can spark imagination, invention and ingenuity, and how we can help people become catalysts for change.
We want speakers who help us explore what our tomorrow looks like, and what could happen in education if we allowed ourselves to dream big.
Finally, we want speakers who genuinely believe that it is only by Dreaming Big that Big things can happen.
A note about education.... whilst this is a TEDxED event, we invite talks from a wide spectrum- it does not need to be about traditional education, nor do you need to work in education yourself. After all, there is lots that education (and we take education in its broadest defitiniton) can learn from the wider world!
Applications to speak are open to ANYONE! Yes, that includes you….
All we ask is that you have an idea or message worth sharing, or you make us think or question. If you've read through all of the information on this page, and want to have a go, we do strongly encourage you to apply. Some of our best speakers have been those who were on the cusp of not applying, but who are now so glad they have!
You don't have to be a professional speaker, or had much (or indeed any) public speaking experience. We can help you build the skills you need. Of course, you are also welcome to apply if you have had tons of public speaking experience each year we have a right mix of speaking experience apply.
You don't need to work in education, nor does your talk have to be 'about' education. About half of our speakers (and 55% of our attendees) each year would not class themselves as 'educationalists', but they had relevant ideas to share that fitted with our themes. But what we do ask is that you are interested in, and passionate about, education in its broadest sense.
We are also especially looking for young people themselves to apply to speak- so if you know a young person who has an idea to tell or story to share, please encourage them to apply. We've had speakers as young as 10 before!
If your idea or talk needs it, you can also apply as a group to speak- but there must be justification for the talk being delivered by more than one person. If you want to do this, ask the lead person of your group to fill in the form, and make it clear that there will be more than one of you on stage! An example of where this has worked well before is when a young person and adult(s) have shared the stage to give a truly multi-generational take and view.
Whilst our applications are open to anyone, there are some things we don't want to see- whether that be because of TED's rules or our own event methods.
So we aren't looking for people who:-
We appreciate that you have a choice of where to apply to speak! Here are some of the things that we, and our previous speakers, feel makes TEDxNorwichED a fantastic place to a TEDx talk.
To get a flavour for what a TEDxNorwichED event is like, check out the highlight videos from 2017.
You can also check out some of our talks from previous years- you can find all our talks from 2016 here and 2017 here.
Here are some key stats about our previous events:-
It goes without saying, but it must be 'TED' style. If you've never seen a TED video- go watch some! Or even better- check out some of our videos from last year.
It must tie in with our theme, in some way- yes, we've said this before, but this is key. However, our theme is purposefully broad.
You must be able to 'own the stage'- you will have the stage to yourself for the length of your talk- and it goes without saying that you will need to engage and hold your audiences attention. We can help you feel confident with speaking though- so don't let it put you off!
Your talk must be practiced and practiced- we appreciate taking on a TEDx talk is a big commitment, and thank you in advance for the time you will put into practicing, perfecting and polishing your talk – but know that all the effort will be worth it when you present on the day and are part of of the conversation around our Dream Big theme.
It must fit within the time your ar allocated. Speaekrs will be given a slot of between 5 and 18 minutes for their talk. This fits with the TED style and rule-book. Some of the most popular TED talks are short talks, and very fee TEDxNorwichED talks are allocated the full 18 minutes. We will ask you as part of your application how long you would like- but reserve the right to offer you a different length of talk.
It must be unique- not something that popped could have heard you give elsewhere. The ideas may, of course, not be brand new, but the talk must be.
It mustn't rely on a traditional powerpoint- you can use our screen in anyway you like during your talk, and you don't need to use it (about half our talks don't use the screen)- but aim for powerful images, key words, videos, quotes etc, rather than death by powerpoint!
Your talk can also innovative in the way you present it, and by TED rules we are encouraged to select some talks that are innovative in the way they are presented.
Here are our top tips for making an amazing application:-
So, you've made it to the bottom of the page! Thank you for reading everything above- it will help you craft an amazing application!
We really hope you want to submit an application to speak.
Here is how the process works..
We are happy to be partnering with YouNoodle who have provided us with our new application system.

The two main areas that you will be spending most of your time in is the downtown area of the city and the area of the central library of the University called 'TIK'.
The downtown - where most of the banks, restaurants, cafes and clubs are - is quite small with mainly old buildings. The area of the main library is just next to the center. Apart from the University buildings here you can also find some shops, pubs and cafes. The train station is also here. In this area you can find a mix of old and newer apartment buildings. Most of the students would like to live in restricted downtown but the apartments here are more expensive and most of them are in an older building. If you choose an apartment a little farther from the center, that means you can save money on rent and can choose from a greater range of selection, without making too much of a compromise. Even our farthest apartment from the center can be reached by a 15-20 minutes walk, a 5 minutes bike ride or a short taxi ride at night for 3-4 euros.
Szeged is situated in the centre of the Southern Great
Plain Region at the confluence of the rivers Tisza and
Maros. It is a county town as being the largest city in
the area, with 163 thousand inhabitants and with
about 40 thousand university students. The distance
from Budapest is 165km. The journey from the capital
takes around one and a half hours drive along the M5
motorway, or two and a half if you prefer coming by
train. Szeged is famous for its gastronomy, paprika and
fish soup, festivals, scientific life, thermal water and
baths and last but not least for nice sunny weather.
The fi rst written source about Szeged is from 1183,
which records that salt carrying ships stationed
here. Being a center of mercenary in the 18th
century Szeged got the status of a royal town. It is
celebrated on or around 20th May with a spectacular
programme of events. River Tisza not only gives life
but has the power to take it as well. In the spring
1879 a breach in a distant dyke caused Szeged to be
completely destroyed. Thanks to a great international
collaboration the town was reestablished. Looking
closely at the street names you can see the names of
Rome, Brussels, Berlin, Paris, London, Moscow and
Vienna, recalling the donations made by these cities.
Szeged was reborn as Hungary's most modern town,
with its broad avenues and boulevards, its renovated,
grandiose centre all of which will enchant its visitors.
The great scientist, Albert Szent-Györgyi completed
his studies at the medical university in the town. He
worked as a senior proff essor at the Medical Chemical
Institute of the Szeged Medical University in 1937
when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine
for the discoveries related to biological combustion
processes and in particular to vitamin C and the
catalysation of furamic acid.
Szeged off ers you a great variety of artistic disciplines
including music, visual arts, folk dance, performing
arts, sports and gastronomy. Among these includes
the internationally renowned Szeged Open Air
Festival. It has been organized every summer in Dóm
square for 80 years with the spectacle Votive Church
in the background. The performances include drama,
opera, operetta, musical and dance shows.
The Szeged Youth Days or simply called SZIN is the
most signifi cant music festival in the region at the
end of summer. Great concerts, popular bands and
singers provide loud and lively entertainment for
the youth by the river. An outstanding gastronomy
festival is the International Tisza Fish Festival at the
beginning of September. Each one is a diff erent kind
of adventure. Explore your options, learn more about
the festival city and join in.

Justice for the valiant defender of the Banwaons! Hold the killers of Necasio Precioso Sr. accountable!
For the past months we have witnessed the escalation of violence done against the indigenous peoples who are against the aggressive encroachment of mining and agri-businesses in their ancestral lands. We yet again raise the red banners of grief at the loss of a valiant defender of the Banwaon tribe, Balit Barangay Captain, Necasio "Angis" Precioso Sr. Angis is the founding chairman of Tagdumahan, a local organization of indigenous Banwaons in La Paz, Agusan del Sur. As the founding chairman, Precioso was specifically against Malampay, Makilala and Tambuli mining companies in San Luis, La Paz and Talacogon. Their group, and Precioso in particular, was also against the militarization of their communities through the AFP's Community Organizing for Peace and Development (COPD).
Necasio "Angis" Precioso was felled by alleged members of the 26th Infantry Battalion (26th IB) while he was walking towards his son in Kilometro-2, Barangay Nuevo Trabajo, San Luis, Agusan Del Sur. The two gunmen on a black and white Honda XRM motorcycle without a plate number had come out of the barangay gym of Plabia where the 26th IB was based and followed Precioso's son, Neco, when he passed by the said gym. Precioso who was coming from Barangay Balit with another son, Reyjoy, had stopped along the road when he saw Neco's motorcycle to switch phones with him. The previous night, Precioso had an argument with Master Sargeant Andres Villaganas of the 26th IB after the latter accused the former of being a rebel supporter by disallowing soldiers to camp inside their community.

"Rise in inflation numbers and weakness in Asian peers blunted the expectations of a recovery and domestic market remained range-bound".

Atlas Rules Resources Adventures Stories FAQ Search Links
A New Twist to an Old Adversary - Chapter 5by Geoff Gander
"Magda, come quickly!", shouted the woman to her errant child. "A storm is fast approaching, and we must all take shelter!" A loud boom cracked across the sky, as if to accentuate her last words.
"Coming, mother!", shouted the little girl, her braids bouncing as she skipped across the field, her hands filled with a bouquet of the season's first wildflowers. Safely over the threshold of the small farmhouse, the girl turned to her mother.
"Are the sky giants fighting again?"
"Yes, my sweet, the sky giants are having an argument. We will remain indoors until they have settled their squabbles. Now go to the pot and get yourself some stew; it looks like they will be having a long fight this time, and we will have a bad storm because of it."
As Magda padded to the kitchen, Galina peered into the evening sky, far above. Another crack of thunder echoed across the valley in which they lived, and she winced involuntarily at the thought of what must be going on, high in the mountains to the north. So it had always been, since her people settled in these valleys in the shadow of the Cruth Mountains. It did not happen often, the last time being almost thirty years previous, but when the clouds descended from the mountaintops, and piercing thunder echoed across the valley, all knew that the sky giants - for that must surely be the source of such violence - were fighting amongst themselves. Though little more than noise reached the valley floor and its inhabitants, there were times when the unwary were found dead in the storm's aftermath.
With a shiver, Galina withdrew into the house, and firmly bolted the door. The entire family was inside now, and, Immortals willing, they would remain safe. All that could be done now was to hope....and to wait.
Far, far above the valley, nestled amongst the highest peaks of the Cruth Mountains, rose a twin-towered citadel of black stone. The Sanctuary, it was named by the inhabitants, and for almost thirty years it had remained at peace, its denizens going about their business and living their lives - until now.
Surrounding the citadel on all sides was a great swarm, making no noise save that of the dull whirring of its members' wings. One would easily mistake it for an insect swarm at a distance, but a closer inspection would show any observer that the creatures flying in a frenzied cloud were anything but normal insects. The man-sized beings flew in graceful arcs on their insectoid wings, their tentacled appendages bearing vicious bladed weapons, and imposing lances studded with softly-glowing green stones.
One of them levelled its lance at the citadel, and pressed some of the stones. An instant later, a great, crackling ray of light burst from the lance's tip, streaking like a darting viper towards the citadel's nearest wall. With a tremendous boom that echoed downwards into the valley, the beam struck the wall, gouging out great chunks of stone, as cracks issued outwards from it in a web of destruction.
Seconds later, the citadel's inhabitants issued from the citadel's numerous portals, streaming outwards to engage the foe. Attacker and defender were of one race, but in intentions and mindset, they were worlds apart.
High up in the citadel, in a large chamber overlooking the battle scene below, three such creatures conferred.
"The battle does not go well, First One," said the most junior of the occupants in a buzzing voice.
"Acknowledged, Third Scribe, but under the circumstances it was deemed most prudent to engage the foe outside of the confines of the Sanctuary. There always remains the possibility of withdrawing to more defensible positions at a later time, where the forces of Blackhold may be hemmed in by the layout of our home."
"The Third Scribe speaks rightly, oh First One," intoned the third creature, "but your argument carries conclusions of consequence. Our mathematicians have already computed the probability of holding off our enemy, given current troop levels. It is not favourable to our interests; we have perhaps another hour, to use local time measurements.
"May I recommend a strategic withdrawal to the lower levels of the Sanctuary?"
"You may prepare for such an eventuality, Armsmaster", intoned the First One, "I perceive, however, a great risk to our work in this region of the continent. You are both no doubt aware of the level of our observational activities concerning the hominid nations existing below us. We have reason to believe that our enemies' Masters are becoming resurgent once more. They must be stopped at all costs."
"Your are correct in your assumption, First One," responded the Third Scribe. "We are aware of the peril. Those From Beyond must not be allowed to gain a greater position in this region of the continent. Our scouts report two other citadels have combined forces with Blackhold to strengthen their position in the region, thus making ours untenable in consequence."
"Correct," buzzed the First One, "Though you must remember that we possess resources unknown to our foes. I speak of the artifacts we uncovered not long after our arrival on this world. Though we do not know their origin, we have estimated their potency in resisting and destroying the corrupting influence of Those Who Watch From Beyond. Those artifacts must be safeguarded at all costs.
"Thus do I propose we entrust their care to our Surveyors. They have spent time among the local populace, and they are deemed most knowledgeable of their ways. In the eventuality that our efforts to defeat Blackhold fail, the artifacts must remain in the hands of those who oppose Darkness. Our Surveyors will seek out allies among the hominid cultures, and the non-aligned citadels to the north. If all is in our favour, we shall ultimately turn back the enemy."
"Your strategy is well devised, First One", said the Armsmaster, "I shall summon the Surveyors immediately."
"Do so, Armsmaster."
The battle around the Sanctuary continued relentlessly, each side inflicting untold damage upon the other. Flashes of power arced across the sky, thudding against the citadel's walls and fliers alike, shattering stone and downing warriors by the dozen. Where the lances could not be used, the combatants wielded their blades with deadly efficiency, slashing through their foes' carapaces and ending the lives of many. As the minutes dragged on, more and more fallen warriors, their lives spent, fell from the sky into the chasms and onto mountainsides below.
Though Sanctuary's defenders fought mightily, they could not hold back the torrential fury of Blackhold. Outnumbered greatly, they were forced to pull back, until energy blasts and the ringing clash of metal could be heard all through the upper levels of the citadel. No quarter was asked or given, and nothing was said save commands given to subordinates.
As the battle raged inside, a long-unused portal ground open farther down the mountainside, scattering pebbles and other debris in its wake. From deep within the Sanctuary's bowels emerged a handful of the defenders, their tentacles clutching carefully wrapped bundles.
As dull echoes of the battle rumbled from the upper levels, a few quick words were shared between them. Then, they took to the air, quickly scattering in different directions, making no noise save the dull whirring of their wings.
Hours later, a shadowy figure alighted in a small wooded glen, not far from the foothills of the Cruth Mountains, to the south. Seeing that it was alone, it glanced at the greenish-grey band of metal that encircled one of its tentacles, and willed the item's power to activate. The creature's carapace rippled and shifted, changing into a soft, pink flesh. Its limbs shifted, its posture changed, and, within a minute of willing the transformation, where there was once a vaguely insectoid creature, there now stood an unclothed human male, wearing a greenish-grey ring on his right index finger. Staggering slightly from the after-effects of the change, the man walked to a small collection of stones at the eastern end of the glen.
Straining unfamiliar muscles, he heaved the largest stone aside, revealing a small chest. Pulling open the bundle he had in his possession, he produced a small iron key, and fumbled with it for several minutes until he managed to insert it into the lock, and turn it until he heard the satisfying click. Opening the chest, he found a set of neatly-folded clothing within. Wasting no time, he removed the chest's contents and donned them awkwardly.
Later, the man stood fully dressed, after having relearned the usage of the clumsy limbs the hominids called "arms". Adjusting his boots, he uttered a quiet word of thanks to the First One for having the foresight to place such chests in secluded locations near the Sanctuary, so that the Surveyors could use them when needed. Glancing again at the ring, and listening for the faint echoes of the battle that must surely be continuing high above, he realised that he could not remain in this place for long. Searching through the bundle, he pulled out a short sword and a silver amulet. Those two items he would need the most - the first for his own defence, and second to seek out those who would be well disposed to the Sanctuary's cause. The First One did not tell him how it worked, merely that it did.
Mentally, the Surveyor reviewed the cover identity he had constructed for himself over the years. He was Athrim Meldryn, a young merchant, lately of Selenica, who dealt extensively in small shipments of new and used books. He had lost his parents at a young age to humanoid raiders, and had no other close kin. It had been more than three years since he had assumed his cover identity, and Athrim was panicked slightly by the knowledge that there were certain elements he may have forgotten. Equally untested was his proficiency with his sword.
Realising that there was little for him to do at this point, Athrim held the silver amulet, and concentrated on the fine patterns inscribed on its surface. It had been made before the coming of his race to this world, its makers unknown, but he had been told that it would guide him. He gazed at his reflection in the amulet's surface by the moonlight, and saw a strange face looking back at him. Suddenly, the amulet began to grow warm in his palm, and he felt a faint tugging, to the west.
"So, it seems the answer to my unspoken question lies to the west, into regions I have not yet visited," Athrim muttered to himself, his own voice sounding strange to him. With that, he replaced the stone on top of the now-emptied chest, gathered up his belongings, and proceeded to walk westwards.

Do you feel like sometimes you want to take back things you did and words you said? I definitely do. Not because I feel remorse and would like the person I did wrong to, to forgive me. No. This is solely for my own sanity.
It has been months and months that I have been feeling these mixed emotions, these highs and lows. That I would not want to continue feeling them and having them take the best of me sometimes. I do get cranky and bitchy when I'm actually not feeling well. May this serve as a warning not to be anywhere near me during these fits. Things could really get ugly. Add that to hormones flying here and there during the first few weeks of conception… oh oh oh! The result? Exactly what happens twice in a row now.
I can't help but blame my so-called times-of-monstrosities. It has happened twice! Twice! And I only have 3 children! Well, anyway… back to the topic..
If only things didn't happen the way they did, would our life be easier? Better? I really don't know. But one thing's for sure… I wish it didn't make me feel what I felt (and still do) these past months. That my children are spared from the situation and the result of such action. 😦

Everybody Goes Stupid And Off-Campus On The Walking Dead
Safety in numbers? Seek shelter? Nah, this is characters acting with no regard for anybody's welfare. Enjoy!
A Long Way To Go For A Tiny Hit Of Dopamine
Alert Type: Cold Open Jump-Ahead Alert.
Issue: In a very short cold open, we see a montage of images and hear sounds that we know are going to come into play later in the episode including a bullet hole in a windshield, blood dripping onto a road, a bloody spike and the sound of Carol negotiating with what sounds like some bad dudes. It ends with a grunt and a gunshot.
Complicating Factors: We already know that Carol took off from Alexandria, so it's not hard to imagine this is what happens to her on the road.
Resolution: Just stick around for 20 more minutes.
Spoiler: The scene plays out in exactly as it sounds with very few surprises. So this tiny taste of an opener feels like a waste.
We Made A List
Things Carol Is Packing For Her No-Destination Trip
- Dried fruits and veggies, snack bars, and rice
- Matches and fuel
- Not Tobin
- Some jacket sleeve contraption she's sewing together
- A knife
- A rosary
- A knife
- Clothes
- Large backpack
- Tape
- An extremely guilty conscience, all of a sudden
- A newfound habit of hyperventilating near danger
That'll Do
Enough With The Musical Montages
Who doesn't like a good bit of music in an episode of TV that enhances the mood and comments on what's happening? But what about when it's out of nowhere, way too on the nose, and really just a way to throw a bunch of images together that don't really tie together thematically? Like Johnny Cash's "It's All Over," which plays over scenes of Carol leaving a sleeping Tobin, Carl examining a gun with an ominous imprint on it in the armory, Glenn and Maggie showering together, Daryl fretting about the death of Denise, and Sasha and Abraham having a moment while Rosita looks on, disapprovingly. I mean, if you want to just string a lot of shit together, that's fine, but don't drag poor dead Johnny Cash into it.
How Do You Like That Apple?
The Scene: Michonne and a very horny Rick are in bed together in the morning. Michonne reaches for an apple on the nightstand, takes a bite, and gives some to Rick.
The Symbol: The apple, not to get all Biblical about it.
The Meaning: Rick and Michonne have convinced themselves that the world is theirs for the taking and that they won't ever lose it again. That sounds a lot like a certain couple who also ate an apple and were unaware of just how bad things might get very quickly.
Bad Habits
You're Not An Outdoor Cat, Daryl, Stay The Fuck Inside
One of Daryl's more irritating habits is his inability to be boxed in to any kind of social behavior, which is understandable and a little charming when it comes to not wanting to go to dinner parties, but is stupid and dangerous when it means leaving Alexandria on a motorcycle alone on some stupid mission of vengeance. Not because Daryl can't handle himself; he most certainly can most of the time. But because he knows it's going to cause a panic and probably a party of people to go after him (in this case, Michonne, Glenn, and Rosita), putting them in danger for no good reason other than a plot mechanism to get characters out of the relative safety of Alexandria. It's dumb, and not even just Daryl-dumb, but overall-show-dumb.
Here's An Idea
Stop Leaving Alexandria, Everybody!
The second prong of this week's stupidity pitchfork is Rick springing into action when he finds out about Carol's note to Tobin asking for the group not to send anyone after her. Rick ignores that, of course, and with plans to go after her himself and because he just happens to be hanging around, Morgan decides to go save her. "No one else leaves!" Rick bellows, after half the cast has already committed to leaving the town.
Hell Yeah!
Hey, It's The Easter Bunny Of The Apocalypse!
This episode aired on Easter, and I'm just going to assume this car is decorated this way not only to keep away walkers, but to pay homage to The Easter Bunny with those cute whisker-looking accoutrements. Nicely played, show!
A Wizard Did It
Literal Hand Cannon
Carol is stopped on the road when a truck going in the opposite direction fires on her. She engages with the group of men, most likely Saviors led by a guy named Jiro, whimpering and asking them to leave, which is absolutely not going to happen. When they push her, a woman on the road with one hand in her jacket sleeve, she tearfully unloads on them, firing the gun she had sewn into her clothing. Somehow the gun doesn't jam, the sleeve doesn't catch fire, and Carol kills nearly all of them in one go. Nice shooting, Montclair! The next death Carol is responsible for, impaling a guy with a car spike, makes a lot more logical sense.
That Which Pulls You Down Does Not Uplift You
As they ride together searching for Carol, Rick and Morgan continue debating the ethics of killing in a world that is about not much else but that.What I believe... I'm not right. There is no right. It's just the wrong that doesn't pull you down.It hasn't pulled me down.I think it will. 'Cause I know you.
That Quote"I'm proud of her. She took four of 'em down. That woman, she's a force of nature."- Rick finds bloody evidence of Carol's activities -
That Happened
Elbows, Off The Table
The gunfight that took place with Dwight's men is still paying dividends for lucky nearby undead, who now get to dine on a brand-new feast. That's good undead-eatin'!
Place Of Interest
This Field: Getting More Action Than Maggie And Glenn In A Shower
If this field looks familiar, that's because it looks just like the one Rick and Morgan walked into and that the surviving Savior followed them into, just from a different angle. Hey, every dollar saved on location scouting means more zombie makeup in the finale!
Meeting Time
Intervention: Daryl Dixon
Who called the meeting? Glenn, Michonne, and Rosita.
What's it about? The three have caught up with Daryl, who is on the warpath, trying to track down Dwight and kill him for the death of Denise.
How'd it go? Glenn makes a good case that since Denise is dead, Daryl is really just doing this for himself and that they should all get home and take care of Alexandria. Michonne promises to personally help take care of this later. But Daryl doesn't give a shit and can't give it up since he feels not killing Dwight in the first place was what set this chain of events into motion. Rosita, abandoning all reason whatsoever, goes with Daryl. So, that intervention actually lost a member instead of gaining one convert. Good one, guys! And as if things couldn't get worse, Dwight shows up with his men to take Michonne and Glenn prisoner. Worst intervention in show history!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Morgan And Rick vs. Farm Walkers
In their search for Carol, Rick and Morgan show up at a farm with some fresh kills. There's also a guy holed up who's looking for his horse and who says he hasn't seen Carol. The guy takes off as a group of walkers approaches and when Rick tries to fire at the guy running away, Morgan bumps him, making the shot miss. Then they fight the walkers, which goes as per usual with Rick helping Morgan avoid a bite to the face.
Winner: Rick and Morgan.
Wrap It Up
After the barn fight, Morgan tells the long tale of the Wolf he was holding and how the guy, at the last moment, saved Denise's life, proving that people can change, or some shit. Morgan tells Rick to go on back; he's going to find Carol himself or perhaps die trying. Morgan does accept a gun from Rick, at least. And learns from Rick that Michonne did steal his protein bar (a fact Morgan already claims to know).
Rick makes it back to Alexandria, where he learns that Michonne's group is still out. He and Abraham wait at the gate. And wait. And wait, both afraid of their new feelings of love.
Enid comes over to visit with Maggie and ends up giving her a pretty short haircut. But something goes wrong as Maggie doubles over in pain. Pregnancy danger!
Glenn and Michonne are being held in the woods and it sucks.
Daryl and Rosita show up to save them, but because Dwight is some sort of teleporting-douchebag ninja, he gets the drop on them.
And apparently shoots Daryl. But lest you get too worried, the last thing we hear is Dwight saying, "You'll be all right." I guess?

(Reuters) - Crude oil hit a record high of $78.77 a barrel on Wednesday after a larger-than-expected drop in crude inventories in the United States, the world's top fuel consumer.
Real and threatened disruptions to crude oil supplies, constraints at refineries in consuming countries, resilient global fuel demand and a flow of investor money into oil and other commodities have pushed prices higher.
Investment flows from pension and hedge funds into commodities including oil have resumed in recent months after a hiatus earlier in the year due to concerns about how the global economy was moving.
Speculative trading in energy markets has boomed in recent years as investors sought to beat returns in other markets such as equities and bonds.
But in the week to July 24, speculators in the New York Mercantile Exchange crude oil market cut net long positions in a bet prices would go down, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Net crude longs were cut to 108,782 from a record 112,287 in the week to July 10.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, source of more than a third of the world's oil, is pumping less than in 2006 after deciding to remove barrels from the market.
OPEC agreed to curb supply by 1.7 million barrels per day, or about 6 percent, last year in two steps. The second stage took effect from February 1.
Members have made about 890,000 bpd of the pledged reduction, according to Reuters estimates. The exporter group is next scheduled to meet in September to decide production policy.
Consumer nations have called on OPEC to pump more crude to help ease prices, but the group's oil ministers insist crude supplies are adequate.
While previous price spikes have been triggered by supply disruptions, demand from nations such as China and the United States is a main driver of the current rally.
Global demand growth has slowed after a surge in 2004, but it is still rising and higher prices have so far had a very limited effect on economic growth.
Analysts say the world is coping well with high nominal prices because adjusted for exchange rates and inflation, they are lower than during previous price spikes and some economies have become less energy intensive.
Supply of crude from Nigeria, the world's eighth-largest oil exporter, has been cut since February 2006 because of militant attacks on the country's oil industry.
Oil companies have detailed about 547,000 bpd of shut Nigerian production due to militant attacks and sabotage. The amount represents about 18 percent of the West African country's output capacity of around 3 million bpd.
Adding to concern about tight supply of unrefined crude is a global shortage of refining capacity.
Refiners in the United States, the world's top gas guzzler, have struggled with unexpected outages this year which drained inventories ahead of the summer, when motor fuel demand peaks.
Refining capacity is already tight after years of underinvestment.
The U.S. oil industry took a battering in 2005's Atlantic hurricane season. Some forecasters expect an active storm season this year.
Oil consumers are concerned about supply disruption from Iran, the world's fourth-biggest exporter, which is locked in a dispute with the West over its nuclear program.
Western governments suspect Iran is using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies this, saying it wants nuclear power to make electricity.
Iraq is struggling to get its oil industry back on its feet. Exports are stagnating at around 1.5 million bpd, compared with 1.7 million bpd or more under Saddam Hussein.
Decades of wars, sanctions and underinvestment have left Iraq struggling to pump its oil out of the ground and on to world markets. Production has failed to meet optimistic projections by oil ministry officials.
Iraq is also unable to ship crude regularly from its northern fields for export from the Turkish port of Ceyhan because of attacks on the pipeline to Turkey.

XO-IQ is the main band in Make It Pop. The members consist of Sun Hi, Jodi, Corki, and Caleb. Vocals for the band's songs were recorded by Megan Lee, Louriza Tronco, and Erika Tham in Toronto, Canada.
The band made two live appearances at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
- One: At the pre-party for the 2015 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles, after being introduced by Nick Cannon with the main cast of XO-IQ
- Second: At the 2016 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards with XO-IQ, and also with John-Alan Slachta (Jared Anderson)
XO-IQ has 2 YouTube Channels:
- XO-IQ: With songs from both Season 1 and 2 with lyric and dance tutorials[1]
- Make It Pop: With BTS (Behind the Scenes) videos, cast interviews, and a segment called "Pop Quiz" where the cast talks about an episode and how they felt about it[2]
- Nickelodeon: With Music Videos of the songs performed in the show[3]
XO-IQ is a band formed by Caleb. When Caleb saw the girl's (Sun Hi, Jodi, and Corki) video of Spotlightz, he loved it. Seeing the girl's talent, he gave them the idea to form a band. Caleb lied about having a club so he could get the whole gang to come and perform. Caleb later convinced his boss, Randy, to turn Ryker's Rink into a club and he renamed it Club Ry-Ri. Once he finished decorating the club,
Caleb invited Sun Hi, Corki, and Jodi to see it. The group enjoyed it and performed Party Tonight there. The legacy of the club was later continued, and XO-IQ now performs there.
The fictional band XO-IQ -- stars of the Canadian television show Make It Pop! -- was formed by three friends at Mackendrick Prep boarding school and their DJ pal: Sun Hi Song (played by Megan Lee), Jodi Mappa (Louriza Tronco), Corki Chang (Erika Tham), and Caleb Davis (Dale Whibley). Performing kid-friendly, self-empowering songs inspired by K-pop and mainstream EDM, the group made its first live appearance in March 2015 at the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards, introduced by Nick Cannon, one of the show's producers. The show premiered that same month, running 20 episodes. In conjunction with the first season, four Make It Pop! soundtracks were released from April to May of that year, with a deluxe collection released that July. Two more albums -- All the Love and Tomorrow Is Ours -- were released later that year, as well as a television holiday special. Season two premiered in January 2016.
Sun Hi Song
Lead Singer/Dancer (currently)
Sun Hi is the lead singer and dancer of the group. She is a funky, free spirit and self-proclaimed star on the rise. Sun Hi is one of a kind. Accompanied by her one true love - her phone - she constantly blogs to the "Sun Hi Nation," updating them on everything and everybody in her life. When she discovers her magical connection with Jodi, Corki, and Caleb, her dreams seems even more within reach. Fueled by her need for fame and social media attention, Sun Hi's behavior causes all sorts of mayhem. A result of that is her initial rivalry with Corki due to the fact that Sun-Hi's parents wanted her personality to be more like Corki's. One thing is certain, this girl has little time for homework or boys, but who needs that stuff when you're the next pop sensation?
Jodi Mappa
Singer/Lead Dancer/Choreographer/Costume Designer (currently)
She is strong, independent, and fierce. Jodi has a keen eye for all things fashion and design. Combine these skills with her love for dance, she provides as essential ingredient in the band's makeup. Jodi brings her personal flare to the table, enhancing the band's pop/EDM look. Kind and thoughtful, Jodi is always ready to help a friend. Jodi's schoolwork tends to fall behind her fashion design and band priorities. This is something that puts her in hot water on more than one occasion.
Corki Chang
Singer/Dancer (currently)
She is the brains of the group. Having been home-schooled her entire life, Corki's new to the "socializing in a school environment" thing. She can speak Mandarin Chinese and is incredibly smart and musically gifted. Her inexperience in going to school with others frustrates her new roommates in many ways, but they love her all the same. Raised by a wealthy single father, Corki values her privacy and feels pressure to impress him. That is revealed in the first episode when calling her father and saying she will do well. However, she wants to be a regular teenager, so she's constantly at odds with herself and how to navigate these opposing worlds. Despite her inner turmoil, Corki is the perfect addition to XO-IQ. Her background in singing and classical violin truly elevates the band on every level.
Caleb Davis
Disc Jockey (currently)
Half boy, half sub-woofer, this kid is all music. A talented DJ, Caleb always has the right beats for every song. Accident-prone and music-obsessed, Caleb cannot sit still. His parents sent him to MacKendrick so he could focus on academics and settle down, but naturally he chose to do the opposite. One of the masterminds behind the creation of the school's newest musical treat, XO-IQ, Caleb often neglects life's most basic navigation tools like logic and common sense, but is chock-full of creativity. At his core, he's a good kid who's passionate, excitable, and always up for a good time.

TORONTO, ON—Metropolitan Fine Printers and its Research and Development arm Enviro Image Solutions (EIS) were big winners at last night's Print Action's 2008 Environmental Printing Awards (EPA) gala in Toronto, taking top honours in three categories – the highest number of awards won by any printer in Canada:
Most Environmentally Progressive Vendor in Canada
Most Progressive Environmental Printing Project (Nike World Wide annual report)
Most Progressive Environmental Process Vendor
"It is extremely gratifying to receive recognition for something that benefits both our clients and the environment. Our division, EIS, will help printers around the world restore millions of blankets and as a result, prevent them from going to landfills" said George Kallas, president, Metropolitan Fine Printers. "We take great pride in our staff's innovation and applaud our outstanding clients, who recognize that sustainable printing can rival any print process in the world. We feel it is our responsibility to help them find the best possible – and greenest – solutions for their projects."
Now in its third year, the EPA awards celebrate the efforts of those in the printing industry working to reduce their impact on the environment. This year's competition drew more than 130 entries in 14 categories (www.printaction.com/default.php/online/news-02-29-08).
Long noted for its outstanding quality and customer service, Metropolitan is also known for pioneering initiatives surrounding sustainable printing. EIS (www.enviroimagesolutions.com) is a prime example of Metropolitan's innovation. Started in 2004, EIS offers the industry a 'cleaner solution' by extending the lifespan of UV printing blankets by as much as 400 per cent while reducing annual blanket replacement costs potentially by 70%. In addition to its groundbreaking work with printing blankets, EIS is exploring other methods to improve the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of print technologies.
"Our clients expect us to be highly responsive yet responsible," added Kallas. "Our exclusive MET UV technology, coupled with Kodak's 10 micron Staccato screening and M.A.N. Rolland presses, allows us to run less waste, with virtually no VOC emissions, and yield spectacular results on any stock, fully recycled uncoated or coated. EIS is an exciting way for us to strengthen our contribution to sustainable printing, while enhancing the quality of the end product."

Product 4/6
Compact and complete! A boiler room in a boiler; install, connect, ready to go
Don't have enough space for a boiler room? The ETA PU PelletsUnit is the only pellet boiler on the market with everything built in.
An external boiler room (outside of the main house shell), for example the garage, loses heat. In energy-saving and passive houses where a boiler is installed within the house shell you can save between 5 and 15% on fuel costs. Instalaltion in a utility room or basement replaces the traditional need for a separate boiler room, and because the PU boiler can have it's combustion air piped directly from outside there is no warm air being used to fire the boiler. In addition
it means the PU boiler
can be installed inside fully sealed house.
Lambda control, automatic ignition, integrated return temperature riser control, energy saving circulation pumps and mixing valves, 18L expansion vessel, 3 bar safety valve, 3 way switch over valve between hot water cylinder and heating circuit, built in solar panel controller, buffer tank control, LCD touch sensitive screen and interface. The list goes on and on.......
The 5.7" touch screen leaves you in complete control. Information, command centre or simply room temperature adjustment at a touch. The colour touch screen operation, similar to modern mobile phones, leads to intuitive check and changing of heating times, fuel stock levels, operational data, etc...
Remote control of the unit via SMS (when optional GSM module is installed) offers complete flexibility. Boiler software updates are possible through the integrated USB slot.
The new PU boiler is supplied with the "Ice Grey Metal" front panel cover as standard, the design is plain, pure and noble. However, you can choose a panel finish that better suits your home interior if you wish thanks to the new replaceable boiler fronts on the PU boiler.
The designers at ETA have come up with this great range of new front covers for the PU boiler
"Anthracite Metal" and "Dark Wood" are warm and cosy whereas the "Black Leather" finish is piping hot for the more adventurous home owner. It's your choice and chaning the design is as simple as replacing the boilers front panel.
If you want some more information, including technical data then please feel free to download the ETA brochure for the PU range of wood pellet boilers
This product was added to our catalog on Friday 09 April, 2010.
