Water Park Owner, Slide Designer Face Charges After Fatal Accident
In 2016, a 10-year-old boy was decapitated while on a water slide that a water park had advertised as "the world's tallest slide." The tragic incident has now resulted in criminal charges being filed, according to a recent news article.
Criminal charges don't always occur after accidents, but if an incident occurred because an amusement park or water park operator engaged in wrongful behavior, it is possible that the individual will be criminally prosecuted – depending upon the circumstances.
Those who have been harmed by accidents or who have lost loved ones can also reach out to a Miami amusement park accident lawyer for help pursuing a civil case. Civil cases are separate from any criminal proceedings and the goal of a civil case is for the victim or his family to obtain financial compensation from whomever caused harm.
Criminal Charges Filed Against Water Park Operator and Slide Designer
In this particular case, there were specific facts that led to the water park owner and the slide designer being charged with reckless second-degree murder — a crime which carries a potential penalty of 9 years to 41 years of imprisonment. The private construction company that constructed the slide was also charged, along with the park owner, designer and construction company, which faced charges of 17 other felonies including aggravated endangerment of a child.
According to the indictments, the water park owner made the decision in 2012 to try to build the world's tallest water slide. He wanted to rush the project because he was hoping to impress producers of a show being filmed for the Travel Chanel.
Because his hope was to rush the project, important steps in the design process were skipped. There were no engineers who were directly involved in the design of the slide, and when early reports emerged that some of the rafts on the slide went air born, the water park owner and the slide designer started secretly testing the slide at night so there would be less scrutiny.
The slide was operational for a total of 182 days after its design and construction was completed and during that time, a total of 13 people got hurt – including two people who sustained concussions. In one instance, the slide caused a 15-year-old to temporarily go blind while riding the slide.
This case is an unusual one because of the fact that the water park owner and slide designer allegedly didn't get the right help in the design process and did not engage in fair and impartial testing. It is rare for water park or amusement park owners to face so many criminal charges when something goes wrong. Civil lawsuits are far more common. The family of the decapitated young boy reportedly settled already this particular case for $20 million. The water park operator also settled with two women who were seriously hurt while riding in the same raft with the boy who was killed.
If you or a loved one suffers injury at an amusement park or water park, contact a Miami amusement park accident lawyer for help to determine if you can pursue a civil suit that could result in a settlement or jury verdict that provides you with the compensation you deserve.

Written on: July 28th, 1998 in 10002(l) (1) Exemptions - Personnel
Del. Op. Atty. Gen. 98-IB07 (Del.A.G.), 1998 WL 648717
Office of the Attorney General
State of Delaware
Opinion No. 98–IB07
July 28, 1998
Re: Sworn Payroll Information 29 Del. C. § 10002
*1 The Honorable Lisa Blunt-Bradley
Office of The Secretary
Department of Labor
4425 North Market Street
Wilmington, DE 19802
Dear Secretary Blunt-Bradley:
In Attorney General Opinion No. 95-IB03 (Jan. 25, 1995), this Office opined that sworn payroll statements filed by contractors with the Delaware Department of Labor ("DOL") pursuant to 29 Del. C. § 6912(c) were public records under the Delaware Freedom of Information Act, 29 Del. C. ch. 100 ("DFOIA"), with the exception of employee social security numbers.1 That Opinion relied heavily on the holding in I.B.E.W. v. United States Dep't of Hous. & Urban Dev., 852 F.2d 87 (3rd Cir. 1988) ("IBEW"), which permitted the disclosure of employee names and addresses, but not social security numbers, under the Federal Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552 ("FFOIA"). The union in IBEW requested contractor payroll records submitted to the United States Department of Labor pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act.2
Recently, the Third Circuit in Sheet Metal Workers Int'l Ass'n v. United States Dep't of Veterans Affairs, 135 F.3d 891 (3rd Cir. 1998)("Sheet Metal Workers") modified its earlier decision in IBEW. The Court in Sheet Metal Workers found that the disclosure of employees' names and addresses is no longer required as a consequence of heightened personal privacy concerns raised by decisions in other Circuits and the United States Supreme Court.3
In light of the Sheet Metal Workers decision, your predecessor asked this Office for legal advice on two questions. First, whether the DOL should discontinue the practice of releasing the names and addresses of employees listed in sworn payroll reports. Second, whether the DOL is required to release the names and addresses of apprentices registered with the Apprenticeship and Training Program.
For the reasons explained below, we conclude that the DOL should discontinue the practice of releasing the names and addresses of employees listed in sworn payroll reports. We further conclude that the DOL is not required to release the names and addresses of apprentices registered in the Department's Apprenticeship and Training Program. As a result of our conclusions, Attorney General Opinion No. 95-IB03 (Jan. 25, 1995) is hereby rescinded and superseded by this Opinion.
In Sheet Metal Workers, the Court balanced the employee's personal privacy interest, recognized by 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6), against a labor union's interest in obtaining the names, addresses and social security numbers of employees submitted in sworn payroll information reports submitted by contractors to the federal government to ensure compliance with prevailing wage laws. 135 F.3d at 896. The Court reasoned that employees have a significant personal privacy interest in not receiving solicitations through the mail at home. Id. at 900. The Court noted that there are other less intrusive methods of obtaining the information. Namely, the union could distribute fliers as employees arrive and leave work, post signs or use existing information to compare job classifications with pay rates. Id. at 904.
*2 The Third Circuit took heed of more recent FOIA decisions in which the United States Supreme Court analyzed the right to access public records by reference to the "core function" of FOIA: to allow citizens to know what their government was doing. In a modern, highly regulated society, the government has in its possession vast data banks of highly personal information, which citizens are required to provide as a condition of receiving a license or other government benefit. The core function of FOIA is not served by making that information available to third parties to use for their own commercial or other purposes. Any public policy in favor of open government may have to give way to the greater right of personal privacy. Accordingly, the Court modified its prior holding in IBEW by permitting the federal government to withhold the names, addresses and social security numbers of employees from FFOIA requests by labor unions for sworn payroll information required under the Davis-Bacon Act. Id. at 905.
Similarly, the purpose of Delaware's FOIA is to provide the public with access to public records which will "enable citizens to observe and monitor state government." 29 Del. C. § 10001. (emphasis supplied). Public records are defined in 29 Del. C. § 10002(d) as information of any kind relating to public business which is stored, recorded or reproduced. Further, public records must be "open to inspection and copying by any citizen of the State." 29 Del. C. § 10003(a). However, there are statutory exemptions to public disclosure under Delaware's FOIA:
Any personnel, medical or pupil file, the disclosure of which would constitute an invasion of personal privacy, under this legislation or under any State or federal law as it relates to personal privacy.
29 Del. C. § 10002(d)(1). The purpose of this exception is to protect personal privacy. See Delaware Solid Waste Auth. v. News-Journal, Del. Supr., 480 A.2d 628, 631 (1984).
When the Delaware prevailing wage law is silent on an issue, it is appropriate to consult the federal law interpreting its purposes and policy. Att'y Gen. Op. No. 80-IO23 (July 9, 1980). The Davis-Bacon Act, 29 Del. C. § 6960 requires that laborers and mechanics be paid prevailing wages on state public construction projects. Further, " [e]very contract based upon these specifications shall contain a stipulation that sworn payroll information, as required by the Department of Labor, be furnished weekly" to verify compliance with the state prevailing wage law. 29 Del. C. § 6960(c).
The Delaware FOIA, like its federal counterpart, recognizes a strong personal privacy interest in 29 Del. C. § 10002(d)(1). The purpose of making public records accessible is to enable citizens to monitor state government. 29 Del. C. § 10001. This equates to the "core purpose" that contributes to public understanding of the government, articulated in Sheet Metal Workers. We have previously issued an opinion to the Division of Revenue that the DFOIA does not require the disclosure of the names and addresses of business license holders. Such information is within the realm of traditional privacy, and disclosure does not "appear to further the purpose of FOIA to assure that the public processes and records of government are open." Att'y Gen. Op., 96-IB33 (Dec. 11, 1996).
*3 The request for names, addresses and social security numbers of employees submitted in sworn payroll information to the DOL is not a "core purpose" of the regulation of state prevailing wage laws that would outweigh the employee's personal privacy interest in Section 10002(d)(1). Therefore, we conclude that a Delaware court facing this issue would uphold the non-disclosure of names, addresses and social security numbers of employees contained in sworn payroll information submitted to the DOL on the basis of the overwhelming persuasive authority in Sheet Metal Workers as well as case decisions in other Federal Circuits and the United States Supreme Court.4
The DOL keeps on file apprenticeship agreements with approved contractors that contain the names and addresses of apprentices registered in the Apprenticeship and Training Program. As with prevailing wage requirements, various organizations request these agreements from the DOL under the DFOIA to obtain the names and addresses of registered apprentices for the purpose of ensuring compliance with program regulations.
The purpose of the Apprenticeship and Training Program is to encourage the development of a training system to maintain a skilled labor force and specifically to protect and safeguard the welfare of apprentices and trainees. 19 Del. C. § 201. Training and Apprenticeship Programs are subject to approval by the DOL. 19 Del. C. § 204. The DOL is charged with maintaining records of apprenticeship agreements and programs and reviewing such agreements and programs for compliance with the DOL rules and regulations. 19 Del. C § 202.
While not specifically addressed in Sheet Metal Workers, the names and addresses of apprentices registered with the DOL Apprenticeship and Training Program are subject to the same significant personal privacy interests as employees listed in sworn payroll reports. Although this is an issue of first impression in Delaware, it is very likely that a reviewing court would weigh the personal privacy interest of apprentices and trainees against the regulatory effect of the request for information in the same manner as sworn payroll information. It is our view that a request for the names and addresses of registered apprentices and trainees is not a regulatory "core purpose" sufficient to outweigh the personal privacy interests of registered apprentices and trainees. Consequently, we predict that the DOL would be permitted to withhold the names and addresses of registered apprentices and trainees.
For the reasons explained above, we advise the DOL to discontinue the practice of releasing the names and addresses of employees listed in sworn payroll reports. We further conclude that the DOL is not required to release the names and addresses of apprentices and trainees registered with the Apprenticeship and Training Program. As a result of our legal conclusions on these issues, Attorney General Opinion No. 95-IB03 (Jan. 25, 1995) is rescinded and superseded by this Opinion.

Very truly yours,
Lawrence W. Lewis

...Angels Appearing
I loved working with the gray tones in this painting. I wasn't exactly sure what this painting was going to end up looking like. But then that's what it's like with most of my paintings!
I began layering the paint and flipping the canvas. Before long they began appearing. Angels! Right away I could see three. I had been commissioned to do a painting with three angels and this painting was the second one I worked on for my friend to choose from. After completing the painting I sat back and stared at the painting. I was truly in awe of how quickly it came to be. Then I saw more. I saw more and more of the heavenly hosts appearing. Even still when I look at it I can see them. There seem to be too many for me to count. This has become one of my very favorite paintings.
Angels Watching Over You...
This commission resides in the home of some of our dearest people! They have three daughters and it's a privilege to have painted this for them. I pray they are reminded every time they look at it how God promises them that He has commanded His angels concerning them to guard them in all their ways. Psalm 91:11

Teens are a high-risk group for drug abuse, and are one of the most important groups to reach out to, because they are our future, our children, and the hope of our nation.
And they're at risk. Statistics tell us that people are most likely to begin abusing drugs during their teenage years. By the time they are seniors, almost 70% of high school students will have tried alcohol, 50% will have taken an illegal drug, nearly 40% will have smoked a cigarette, and more than 20% will have used a prescription drug for a nonmedical purpose.
Teens are the hope of America's future. Our future lies with them. More than that, they are our children, here and now. Teens are statistically one of the highest risk groups for drug abuse. This is primarily because of peer pressure, newfound social freedom, new social situations, stress at home or in school, and curiosity.
Overall teen drug use seems to be declining compared to previous years, but we cannot become complacent, because teens who DO abuse illicit and prescription drugs remain at risk for addiction and overdose.
The good news is that, according to the most recent statistics from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), overall teen substance use is lower than in previous years, not higher.
The bad news is that it's still too high, especially with regard to marijuana.
NIDA's yearly report, the Monitoring the Future Survey, asked over 50,000 students in hundreds of schools around the country to self-report their substance use during the past month. And taken as a whole, many of the resulting figures are down from last year. On the other hand, 14.5% of the students surveyed reported having used marijuana during the previous month, and that's the highest percentage found in this survey since 2013.
The following chart synopsizes this survey's overall findings:
Percentage of Teens Who Self-Reported Drug and Alcohol Use in 2017
(8th, 10th, and 12th grades combined)
|Name of Drug
|Past-Month Use
|Any Illicit Drug
|Vaping Products
|Flavored Little Cigars
Source: 2017 Monitoring the Future Survey
Remember, these are combined figures. When you break them down by the individual grades, they are even more interesting because they point out that the substance abuse is not limited to those in the upper grades, as many parents might hope.
For example, among students who reported using any illicit drug, the breakdown was:
|School Grades
|Past-Month Use
|8th Grade
|10th Grade
|12th Grade
Among students who reported using marijuana, the breakdown was:
|School Grades
|Past-Month Use
|8th Grade
|10th Grade
|12th Grade
According to a separate survey conducted by the University of Michigan, more than 35% of 12th graders use marijuana, a higher rate than any other drug. The same is true of 8th graders. Alcohol and tobacco abuse in 8-12th graders continues to decline, but those who abuse illicit drugs and prescription drugs are still at risk of addiction.
According to the Monitoring the Future Survey, experimentation is still in full swing. That is, they found that 45% of teens surveyed reported having tried marijuana at least once by the time they're in the 12th grade. But to balance that, fewer than 23% of them reported having used it in the past month, so smoking it isn't a regular thing for them.
The survey further found that only 5.9% of 12th graders and 2.9% of 10th graders smoked marijuana on a daily basis. And over 64% of students in all three grades surveyed said that they disapproved of regular marijuana use.
Past research has suggested that many teens started using substances such as cigarettes, inhalants, amphetamines, and alcohol in elementary school, before they even get to high school. And nearly 13% admitted to having tried marijuana by the end of the 8th grade.
There are a remarkable number of sources for illegal drugs, many of them available to teenagers. 60% of teens in recent studies report that they get them at school. Some get them at home, or from friends' houses with similarly unsupervised medicine cabinets. They can purchase over-the-counter medications such as cough medicines, diet pills, and non-opioid pain relievers at their nearest grocery store or pharmacy. And sadly, teens tend to know more about the Internet than their parents do, so they can often find access to drugs ranging from marijuana to fentanyl to heroin on the Dark Net.
Teens experiment with drugs for many reasons. The reasons a teen might try drugs are as varied and numerous as the total number of teens. But according to statistics, most teens decide to try drugs or alcohol for the first time due to:
The teen years are a time when young people are open to new experiences, and they may wonder what drugs are like. They may have been inundated with warnings about the dangers of drug use, but at the same time they're also curious to know what being "high" is like. In many cases this curiosity overrides any worries they might have about the drugs being as dangerous as the warnings make them seem. Teens' brains are not fully developed in the area of the brain responsible for thinking ahead and understanding consequences, so they can often feel invincible and believe that bad things like addiction won't happen to them. Unfortunately, this is often not the case.
Teens often want to try as many new things as possible, and drugs are unfortunately one of the most common experiments they attempt. Drinking alcohol is also a very common activity teens engage in.
Kids in their teen years often want to feel like they are part of the group, or that they "fit in." Sometimes they drink or try drugs to fit in with a particular crowd or friend, or they may do it to appear "cool" or worldly to impress others. While some will do this with no long-term consequences, others will become addicted.
Between social pressures, extracurricular activities, and classes, teens have a lot on their plates. Add in the stress of attempting to decide on a choice of college and major course of study, and some may find themselves overwhelmed. Sometimes, teens turn to drugs and alcohol to help them cope with the rigors of high school and the first few years of college. The drug Adderall is especially common among young students because, as a stimulant, it helps them stay awake longer to get more studying done.
It has been shown that teens who come from broken homes, those with dysfunctional home lives, or those with mental illness or mood disorders are more likely to use drugs and alcohol. This is usually because the drugs help numb their emotional pain and allow them to escape from negative feelings. Self-medication is a dangerous cycle, however, and one that quickly leads to substance abuse and addiction if the underlying issues are not dealt with quickly.
Teenagers are extraordinarily vulnerable to substance use disorders, because their brains are still developing, and some brain regions are less developed than others. The area of the brain that processes responses to reward and pain matures early in childhood. But the prefrontal cortex – the brain region responsible for accurately assessing a situation, making sound decisions based on that assessment, and exercising control over our emotions and impulses – remains relatively undeveloped during our teen years. This area doesn't fully mature until the mid-20s.
Largely as a result, the teenage brain has been likened to a car with a fully functioning gas pedal (the reward system) but weak brakes (the prefrontal cortex). Physiologically, teens are as capable of pursuing pleasurable rewards and avoiding pain as an adult, but they still have serious limits on their ability to weigh risks accurately and to make sound decisions. This includes, of course, decisions about whether or not to use drugs.
Our brains are "hard-wired" to pursue life-positive and healthful activities because our brains release of a chemical called dopamine. Normally, the everyday rewards that result from normal teenage activities such as hanging out with friends, playing sports or games, and listening to music cause the moderate release of this chemical. The resulting dopamine increase thus reinforces behaviors that contribute to health, developing a sense of well-being, and building strong social bonds.
Drugs hijack this process. The "high" that drugs produce floods the teenage brain's reward centers with much greater amounts of dopamine than usual. This creates a strong urge to repeat the experience. The immature brain, which is already trying to balance impulse and self-control without the fully developed tools to do so, is thus more likely to take drugs again, and without paying any attention to possible negative consequences. If the drug experience is repeated, that reinforces the brain's links between pleasure and drug-taking, and makes the association stronger. Soon, taking the drug takes on a much greater importance in the teen's life than other rewards.
This is the vicious cycle of addiction. The drugs realign the teen's priorities, but at the same time they are chemically modifying the very brain regions needed to use proper judgment and exercise control. Control such as deciding to stop using drugs.
Numerous studies tell us that the majority of people who have a substance abuse disorder started using drugs before they were 18, and that the disorder is already firmly established by age 20. The likelihood of developing a serious addiction is greatest for those who begin using drugs in their teens.
Drug use can impair teens' memory and concentration, which can affect their ability to learn. Statistically, teens who indulge in alcohol or drug use are more likely to get lower grades, to be absent from school, and to drop out of school entirely. Chronic marijuana use in one's teen years has also been shown in some studies to lead to a loss of IQ that is not recovered even if the individual quits using in adulthood.
The problems that many of us remember from high school and our teenage years were hard enough to handle on their own. Add drugs to the mix, and they can become impossible to handle. Teens who abuse drugs face a higher risk of strained relationships with family and friends. Their substance abuse can lead to anxiety, depression, arguments, emotional trauma, and even domestic abuse.
Because teens are not allowed to buy marijuana even in states that have decriminalized it, drug use is pretty much synonymous with breaking the law. According to a study from the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, among children and teens in state juvenile justice systems, drug use was a major factor in them ending up there. Four out of five of these kids meet one or more of the following characteristics: they test positive for drugs, they were impaired by drugs when committing their crimes, they were arrested for offenses directly related to drugs, or they admit to having problems with addiction.
Getting caught with drugs can damage a teen for life. Many schools are now permitted to conduct random drug tests and locker searches. If a teen tests positive or gets caught with drugs on school grounds, the least that will happen to them is suspension from school. If the infractions are reported to the police, they can be charged with juvenile possession. If they get involved in selling drugs, the legal penalties are even more harsh, and can lead to large fines and/or prison time.
The sad truth is that teens who become addicted to drugs don't live as long as they should. They have more auto accidents and die from suicide or overdose far more often than teens who avoid drugs.
Parents and teachers are the first line of defense as to which teens are at risk of drug use, and which are already using. It's not always easy to distinguish between drug abuse symptoms and normal teen angst, but there are some signs that your teen is using drugs:
The first thing you need to do if you suspect your teens may be using drugs is talk to them. Have an open discussion and express your concern. Don't go in with accusations, because your teen will shut down and go on the defensive. Let your teen know that you love him or her and that you want to help them deal with whatever they are going through.
If he or she admits to using drugs, you'll need to ask additional questions to determine how often, what drugs are being used, and how serious the drug abuse is. You may be able to stop the habit before it becomes a full blown addiction. Ask your teen why they decided to use drugs in the first place. If emotional or stress related reasons are to blame, you can arrange for counseling or form a plan of action to prevent further drug abuse. If an addiction is suspected, you will need to get proper treatment for your child immediately.
Additional drug tests are offered by your doctor or another medical professional. If it is determined that drug abuse has been going on, approach your teen again and express your concern. Try to present your case in a loving, non-accusatory manner to ensure you get the best response. Treatment is far more effective when the person seeking recovery is a willing participant.
Learn as much as you can about drugs, their effect on the mind and body, and their perils, and then communicate that to your teens in as open a way as you can manage. Find accurate, science-based information about drugs (as opposed to "scare stories" that any teen will instantly recognize as BS) and make it available.
Remember the power of "peer pressure," and that your teen will be encouraged to take drugs by their friends. And teens trust their friends, and seek their approval.
So sit down with your teen and have a discussion in which you tell them it's OK to say no, and help them develop strategies for doing so. There are a number of government websites that offer such strategies, such as the Ways to say "no" to drugs site from girlshealth.gov and the 6 Tactful Tips for Resisting Peer Pressure To Use Drugs and Alcohol site from the National Institute on Drug Abuse for Teens.
If you are currently using drugs, it is important to understand the very real risks of overdose, addiction, and permanent damage: physical, emotional, and relationships.
Prescription drugs are prescribed by a doctor for a reason. They are dangerous. If used incorrectly, or by someone for whom they were not prescribed, taking them can result in death by overdose or in dependence and addiction. Using other people's prescription drugs can also lead to criminal charges, because the abuse of any prescribed medicine is a crime. And remember that so-called over the counter drugs can also contain chemicals that are deadly in high doses, and that can become addicting.
Street drugs such as meth, coke, ecstasy, etc., all carry numerous dangers. They can be cut with poisons or toxins to make the dealer more money, but may kill you in the process.
Dealers are not chemists. They are not doctors. They are drug pushers. They want your money, and they don't care what they have to do to transfer that money from your pocket to theirs. They may not even realize that they are essentially killing you with their product. Just by being willing to sell you drugs in the first place, they have already demonstrated that they don't care about your life one way or another.
Marijuana may not carry the same levels of risk in terms of overdose, but many are now discovering that developing a dependence on it is all too real. Creating the habit of operating daily under the influence of a mind- or mood-altering substance leads to dependence.
Getting high from marijuana also impairs your judgement. Not in the same way that alcohol does, but smoking grass does, in fact, impair your judgement. It also slows down your thinking and reaction times. This can not only present a danger, but it also prevents you from doing your best in school or being aware in social situations.
If you or your teen has become addicted to drugs, the best course of action when seeking treatment is likely an inpatient facility. These rehabilitation centers combine a number of treatment approaches and techniques to ensure patients get the best synergistic therapies.
Because many drugs can cause dangerous and even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms when you suddenly stop taking them, treatment will most likely start with a period of detox. After this medically supervised detoxification period is completed, it will be followed by counseling to get to the root causes of any addiction. Some rehabilitation centers offer programs specifically tailored to the needs of teens. They offer ongoing counseling and therapy, including peer or group therapies, as a synergistic approach to healing that is far more effective than either outpatient programs or programs designed for adults.
The most important thing to know is that you are not alone.
And whether it's your teen or you that is suffering from addiction, the most important thing to know is that help is ready and available. All that is needed to get on the right track to recovery is for you to take the first step. Get the help that is needed right now.

And Wherever You Happen To Be...
If you are anything like me, you are managing too many things right now. And it is not only you and I, my friend, our society follows in hordes. Sydney statistically has amoung the hardest working employees anywhere in the Western world.
It turns out that with these amazing gadgets designed to make our lives easier, we are in fact trying to do more things. Add to that the fact that we have supercomputers in our pockets and dozens of screens everywhere we look, and you have the perfect storm for over stimulation and over-functioning.
This article is designed to be the antithesis to life in major western cities around the world today. If you are reading this far in, it safe to assume that you are interested in the concept of slowing things down a notch or two. Perhaps you have even tried a few ways, but haven't quite found the pace that suits you yet. Lets think through some ideas.
Gandhi said that "there is more to life than its speed" and I think he was on to something. I wonder if we were always so busy and what we are trying to achieve by doing so much all the time. Our adrenal glands must hate us. If any of the above ideas work for you, try them. There is no time like the now and now is a great time!
All the best,
Imagine the blue grey volcanic mountains holding their position, while the wind blows down to a Mayan tribe watching from below. A boy walking head down catches an elders' eyes and she decides to ask the child why he looks so glum. "My parents are arguing again, there is no food or money and this years crops are looking pretty shady- I haven't really been sleeping very well because of it all." he says.
"Well then I know just the solution!"

The Law of the Land
(Originally published on January 3, 2014)
Designer: Joel Toppen
Player count: 1
The Navajo people were hunters and gatherers who peacefully inhabited the southwest of what is currently the United States until the Spanish showed up… and then the Mexicans… and finally the Americans. Their history—rife with conflict—is one upon which designer Joel Toppen has crafted an experience that is part simulation, part history lesson.
Listen closely.
Although Navajo Wars includes optional rules for two players, the game was built first and foremost as a solitaire engine. Now there's something greatly liberating with a solitaire game: you don't need anyone else to be available and in the right mood to play, you can stop whenever you feel like it, pick it up a moment's notice, or play in your most humble of apparel… At the same time, the three vertigo-inducing pitfalls of a solitaire game revolve around whether the system lets you make significant decisions, whether the artificial intelligence (or whatever you want to call the engine that plays "the other side") is balanced just right, and whether the game warrants repeated plays.
And we'll soon come to the conclusion that Navajo Wars meets those three requirements with enough room to spare to ride a horse through.
The game is driven by a card deck, assembled differently for each scenario. Basically, the 40 cards are shuffled and divided into five piles, a scoring card is shuffled into each individual pile, and the piles are finally stacked in a precise order. So although you know what the game will look like as far as major plot points go, you're kept in the dark when it comes to the exact timing of things.
And the game begins! Each turn starts with a card draw. Most of the time it'll be an Operations card that features a cost for the player to go first (otherwise the AI plays first), a Major Event and a Minor Event (to be implemented after both the player and AI have played) as well as the occasional special instruction for the discard phase.
Possible actions for the player range from simple movement and agriculture to tribe diplomacy and raids on outposts—all vital to the survival of the Navajo families under the player's care. Each action features a cost in movement points, and once all families have exhausted their allotted amount of points, the player's turn is over.
When it comes to the AI, the brilliant twist is that the actions are not decided by the cards but rather by an Instruction Display where instruction counters are set up in two columns at the start of a scenario. Each Operations card specifies how many action points the AI gets, and those points are spent on instruction counters, starting with the one at the top of the "active" column. Then, if enough action points are left, the next instruction counter takes effect, and so on. At the end of the turn, used counters are cycled back to the bottom of the column, and everything shifts up in preparation for the next turn.
But wait! Subtle twists will modify the order of the counters, sometimes flipping them over (to reveal a different action to be undertaken by the AI), and sometimes switching them either within the same column, or with new instruction counters brought into play from the parallel, "standby" column.
In other words, you always have a pretty good idea of what will probably happen… but you can't be completely sure of it. You need to keep your plans flexible.
Those plans unfold on a beautiful map that sports several area tracks for point-to-point movement. Each track represents a territory, and all territories are connected together to form a sprawling web. This is where the player moves Navajo family counters to perform their actions. This is also where one needs to deal with enemy outposts sprouting up like mushrooms, hostile tribe raids, and the drought that continually threatens to starve every last family member.
When the deck doesn't spit out an Operations card, it'll be an Ceremony card. If kept, such a card grants the player an edge over his automated opponent, but at a price: if it's not used by the time another Ceremony card is drawn, a penalty needs to be paid for each such card the player is holding.
Treat that Ceremony stuff with respect.
And once in a while, a scoring card will pop out, sporting a game-altering event together with a victory check. If the player is not eliminated outright, he lives to fight another day. The last scoring card marks the end of the game, with a final victory check used to determine the player's level of victory—or defeat. Careful planning, judicious use of resources (including the essential elders who help bring balance to the clan—and eventually die of old age) might allow you to extricate some sort of victory out of the whole thing. Otherwise, your people will be all but wiped out.
This is one beautiful game, from the evocative box cover to the stunning board (with colored stones used to represent the steps on territory tracks), right down to the various cards, all produced with the same earthy palette of soothing tones. If you're going to stare at a game for a couple of hours, it might as well go easy on the eyes—and this one certainly does.
The game comes with a three-panel player aid which I really enjoy. It features pretty much everything you need to play the game without having to dig through the rulebook. I especially appreciate the way it was printed, because it makes it really easy (if you fold it right!) to flip between the player action and AI action sections—which are the two tables you'll find yourself referring to again and again.
I'm thrilled with the colored cubes drawn at random to resolve raids. Not only is it a clever way to escalate the risk of a raid on an enemy outpost (because the less cubes left in the draw bag, the higher the danger of fishing out one of the bad ones), but it also provides a tactile experience that contributes to the overall feel of the game. Plus it takes a step away from the charts, which I always appreciate.
And there's a ton of stuff in the box. So much so that I had to remove the insert to make it all fit once everything was punched.
I must touch a bit on the errata. Navajo Wars comes with its fair share of mistakes, but no more than the average wargame production, I would say. Most of them are minor things, although a couple will dramatically alter the game if you're not aware of them. (One being that only RED cubes in the subjugation box add action points for the enemy on each turn. My first game saw about half a dozen black cubes end up in the subjugation box, which made my life absolutely miserable.) I especially loathe errata in a tutorial and on player aids, and although they unfortunately exist in Navajo Wars, they were kept to a bare minimum.
So make sure you look up the errata before your first game. Don't suffer my terrible fate!
Navajo Wars runs on few rules—19 pages of them, to be exact. Which is impressive considering the scope of actions (both for the player and the AI) possible within the game. And reading the rules is a piece of cake, not only because they're written clearly and concisely, but also—and perhaps especially—because many of the procedures are, well, procedural. (Duh.) And since they're handled like large, interactive checklists, you can initially just skim them to get an idea of what will happen and what you'll need. Or, if you like to learn on the fly, you can skip those sections altogether and see what's up when you get there. This might create tough situations when you encounter each procedure for the first time ("Man, I didn't know I needed so much food!") but you'll certainly know what's what in no time.
There's a third way to learn the game, and that's using the tutorial provided with the playbook. It's a 16-page guided tour of the game that does a good job of explaining all of the moving parts. You can literally open the box, punch all the counters and start playing using the tutorial.
The rest of the playbook sports six scenarios, a handful of very simple optional rules, designer and historical notes, as well as three pages of rules for the two-player, semi-cooperative game.
I'm not a huge solitaire gamer, but I do enjoy a nice, quiet evening with one of my favorite cardboard computers, and I've played my fair share of solo games—mostly wargames. Now this one is not a wargame at all (more on that later), but I am forced to admit that Navajo Wars is the best solitaire game I've played so far.
Remember those three solo criteria I mentioned at the top of the review? Well, let's look at them again.
Significant decisions. The game forces you—and gives you the means to—make meaningful decisions throughout. What a family needs to do is rarely an obvious or easy thing, and there are so many different possible actions that it's difficult to imagine someone feeling restrained in that department. If anything, the breadth of the action matrix might overwhelm some newbies; the game certainly doesn't railroad the player into attacking a headquarters, or cornering a piece of territory. It's all about reacting to what's coming up, and that is in constant flux.
Balanced AI. Does the artificial intelligence present a challenge and yet remain beatable? Yes. Does it vary its actions? Hell yes. Each nationality (Spanish, Mexican and American) comes with its own set of action tokens, with a different mix of actions printed on both sides of them. This gives each nation about a dozen different actions to perform, from advancing outposts deeper into Navajo territory (which slowly erodes Navajo culture—and ultimately brings about defeat) to sending out raids to terrorize the neighborhood.
Replayability. Because the aforementioned action tokens always come up in wildly different orders, no two games are alike. At all. Multiply that by the number of different scenarios included with the game (six), and by the variations in deck shuffling, and you get a dizzying array of possible outcomes. Even the short-term objective is always different, because the whole point is to react to what the enemy is doing. That's how you win, i.e. you need to manage to survive and ultimately thrive. If you see that several raids in a row are coming, you need, above all, to prepare for those raids. If, on the other hand, peace is at your doorstep, use that time to maximize what your family can do… but keep watching over your shoulder, because when the enemy decides that it's had enough of twiddling its thumbs, it'll bite back with a vengeance.
Adding yet more variations, the player can purchase Cultural Advancement cards in exchange for culture points. Things like Cunning, Religion or Horsemanship bestow a special ability upon your families, and contribute to the flavor that makes each game unique.
I've played every single scenario (some of them several times) and I'm far from having had enough.
Again, Navajo Wars is not a wargame. It's a resource-management engine at heart… but with many of the wargame sensibilities. It feels a lot more like a conflict than a puzzle, and because of it, the game has a narrative flow that I find fascinating.
Each scoring card is essentially a historical event that brings the game a little more in line with "what actually happened." This also boosts the narrative (and teaches some bits of history en passant), which raises the experience way above basic arithmetics. You end up not summarizing your game for your friends ("Major victory last time, 34 points, man!"), but telling it like a story.
(After one particular game, I mesmerized my three girls with tales of a decimated family, youngsters enslaved, quasi-catastrophic famine, and then daring raids to steal horses, difficult negotiations with rival tribes and the heroic destruction of two strongly guarded forts!)
Another thing I really like here is the play time. Once you know the game, a single scenario will clock in at an hour and a half. So you can play against the Spanish for 90 minutes, or against the Mexicans for 90 minutes, or against the Americans for 90 minutes. Or you can string historical periods together for a campaign game that takes up an afternoon. And that's exactly the way I like it.
(I can't comment on the two-player variation yet, as I haven't tried it. But the semi-cooperative rules are very intriguing indeed.)

The vast majority of patients diagnosed with prostatitis have the chronic non-bacterial form, also known as chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Although the symptoms are similar to chronic bacterial prostatitis, they can disappear and then return unexpectedly.
Unfortunately, chronic non-bacterial prostatitis is the least understood form of the disease. There are believed to be multiple causes: often the condition may arise from stress or other psychological problems. Studies have suggested that the inflammation may be cause by urine being forced backwards, up the prostatic ducts, during bladder emptying.
There is some evidence that regular, gentle massage of the prostate, performed by a urologist, can be beneficial. Prostate massage will not eradicate the cause of prostatitis, but can help to relieve the symptoms.
Who is it suitable for?
Men with generalised pelvic pain; urinary symptoms (frequent bladder emptying and/or burning sensation during urination); pain in the testes, penis or rectum; discomfort during or after ejaculation; aching in lower back, abdomen or inner thighs.
How does it work?
Prostate massage is thought to work either by helping to drain stored secretions from the prostate gland, or by releasing tension around the nerve endings near it. On a weekly basis for as long as you find it beneficial, your urologist will gently insert a finger into your rectum (back passage) and massage the prostate gland.
Where is it done?
Treatment is managed at The Prostate Centre.
How much does it cost?
This treatment is charged as a consultation only, and should be covered if you are insured.
How can I make an appointment?
Mr Julian Shah is available on Wednesday mornings. Please telephone our Patient Liaison team for an appointment on 020 7935 9720 or complete our online form.

Styx: Shards of Darkness follow up on 2014's Styx: Master of Shadows, a bit of a sleeper hit in the stealth action genre that was well-received despite not setting the videogame community alight. The 2017 sequel improves on the original in a number of ways, and gives Styx fans a worthy follow-up.
A direct follow-up to the original game, the story in Shards of Darkness unfolds after the events of the first game are wrapped up. This isn't a rehash of the first game though, as Shards takes you on an adventure through a number of different and interesting locations – making this is a far more diverse experience than Master of Shadows was. In the game world, you'll come across locations that are inhabited by dwarves and elves – and they look like you'd expect, with the grimy workmanship-like look of the dwarves offset with the beauty of the elven art and architecture.
Styx himself is definitely a constant factor between the two games. Still cynical, still rude and still rocking a bad temper, this is the anti-hero we remember from the first game. It might not be everyone's taste, but I really enjoyed how different Styx is from your average protagonist – even the stealthy ones. One area where Styx did change in his ability to move around the game's levels and many routes – climbing, jumping and traversing obstacles feels somehow smoother than it did before, and it's the kind of refinement that really shows off when you start exploring the different paths you have for getting from A to B. Maybe it's just that I've gotten more comfortable with Styx after playing the first game, but my feeling is that Shards of Darkness gives players a lot more room to be adventurous – with more options to approach and thus more replayability.
Things like ropes and grappling hooks allow you to travel up and down in your quest to remain unseen, which is great both in terms of opening up new routes and in instilling a feeling of immersion. If a route looks possible, it very often is – and Styx' skill set is perfectly tailored to this kind of approach.
Styx still prefers to stay away from combat, and still with good reason – our little goblin isn't too proficient in melee combat unless he performs a sneak attack. Get caught up in a one on one situation, and Styx feels like a fish out of water. Your best option is usually to get away as quickly as possible, and although that makes sense with opponents who clearly outpower you it would have been nice to have a bit more combat versatility for some of the weaker opponents.
Speaking of your opponents, they generally aren't too smart in the AI department. When they develop a sense that Styx might be nearby because of your movements, they'll briefly search for him, but they'll quickly go back to what they were doing initially as if nothing ever happened. This allows for you take a vanilla approach to the situation where you'd expect some kind of heightened state of alertness that you either work around or exploit.
Besides the AI, the other shortcoming that Styx has is probably in its writing. Styx isn't a likeable character, but that's intentional – it's the main story plot and the way other characters fit into it that's a little thin. Quests seem random (especially side quests) and the main campaign is full of the kinds of story elements that we've seen countless times before.
Don't let that stop you from enjoying Styx: Shards of Darkness though – ignore the small AI and combat issues and you're looking at an excellent stealth action adventure with a high emphasis on agility and an efficient use of the shadows. Locations and animations both look wonderful, and I'm already looking forward to my second playthrough so I can try a few different things I had ideas for during my first time playing it.

The 2-hour chart indicators are mostly flat with limited moves in the bullish territory.
Ether Price Holding Key Supports
ETH/USD traded in a tight range during the past 24 hours with support at $350.00 and resistance near $360.00-365.00. On the other hand, ETH/BTC moved down by a few points and traded below the 0.140 BTC support.
However, the downside move was limited and the market sentiment for Ether is still positive. Looking at the 30-minute chart of ETH/USD, the pair moved higher from the $347.00 low towards $365.00.
During the upside move, the pair followed a decent bullish trendline and broke the $360.00 resistance. It faced sellers near $365.00 and after a couple of failed attempts, the pair traded lower.
It recently broke the bullish trendline at $362.00, which may ignite a downside reaction back towards the current range support of $350.00. An initial support sits at $360.00, followed by the 50 percent Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $347.00 low to $364.00 high at $355.00.
Moving on to the 2-hour chart of ETH/USD, it seems like a connecting bearish trendline is forming with resistance at $370.00.
On the downside, there are crucial supports at $350.00 and $340.00 followed by $320.00. In the short term, the $340.00 support might play a significant role.
Only a sustained breach above the $370.00 level would revive bullishness and extend recent upmove from $261.00 low. Overall, the risk is towards the upside for ETH/USD, as seen in the 2-hour chart, an early decline was quickly rejected by the $340.00 support.

Drunk Driver Crashes Into Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Family's Car
Car accidents involving a drunk driver on the road unfortunately occur time and time again, but these incidents certainly come to light when someone like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's family gets injured as a result!
Drunk Driver Hits The Rock's Family
Despite the renowned actor's lead appearance in reckless driving-themed Blockbuster phenomenon, The Fast & Furious 6, The Rock's reaction to a head on car crash was far from impressed. The accident was due to a drunk driver whose name has yet to be revealed. However, the people in the car that was impacted head-on, were members of Dwayne's immediate family. The star was enraged, originally making the statement, "First reaction is to find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them." Considering the built-up size of the man and his known background in wrestling, it could have been a real threat until he calmed down to add, "But then you realize the most important thing is my family lived through this and we can hug each other that much tighter these days." It's admirable that the man's gratitude outshines his anger at the drunk driver who nearly claimed two of Dwayne's family members.
The Drunk Driving Accident
It was on Saturday, August 2 in Cleremont, Florida that The Rock's 65-year-old mother, Ata Maivia-Johnson, and cousin, Savelina "Lina" Fanene were on the road when the collision tragically took place without warning. Despite the two requiring hospitalization, and Ata requiring a full three-day stay, both women lived after the disastrous crash. It was later revealed the female drunk driver was speeding away from the cops when she ran through a stop light. The Lake County Department confirmed that the officers had noticed the woman driving appeared to be under the influence, and went to stop her just moments before the crash. It was during the woman's attempt to avoid being caught in the chase when she smashed into Ata's vehicle, which is thought by reporters to be the 2012 white Cadillac Escalade, which had been given to her as a present from her successful son. Ata and Lina were not only innocent drivers on the road turned-victims due to the irresponsibility of the drunk driver, but they were also just coming from their annual charitable event, The Usos Foundation Banquet. Dwayne made an additional comment to the public, "Hug your own family tighter today and be grateful you can tell them you love them."
Drunk Driving Problem In Society
It's disheartening to realize that in today's society it's a high risk for any individual to drive on the road, only because odds favor the fact that another driver in their vicinity is intoxicated at the wheel. One of society's greatest problems today is the fact that people continue to drink or take drugs and drive their vehicle. Not only are they endangering themselves and any passengers that may be in their car, but they also put other drivers' lives in imminent danger, as well as any passengers in their car. It was reported in 2010 that nearly one-fifth of traffic deaths of children between zero and 14 years old were directly related to a driver under the influence of alcohol. Those deaths of innocent children were completely preventable. It is imperative that the dangers of driving under the influence continue to get brought to the public's attention. By stopping one drunk driver on the road, lives could be saved.Tags: celebrity, Drunk, Drunk Driving, DUI

Search engine optimization is challenging for beginners. You'll have to combine knowledge and patience to succeed. This article will help to maximize your success in Seo.
As you tweak your website's search engine focus, don't give into the thought that advertising is the great way to higher rankings. Placing ads on other sites could drive visitors to yours, but it won't boost rankings.
Advertising is sometimes a good choice, but do not count on it to improve your Local Seo. Advertising may increase traffic; however, it does not affect your search engine ranking.
Meta Tags
Select a keyword specific domain name. This will draw visitors who are truly interested in your site's content. Remember that many people will find your site if your site has products they are searching for. Don't assume that most visitors will simply be from advertisements.
To achieve the best ranking in search engine results, incorporate a number of keywords related to your market niche in the meta tags for your website. Many experts have also recommended including misspellings of the keywords in the meta tags if someone happens to spell it wrong. The search engines decipher your meta tags and integrate the information into their algorithms used to generate search results. Make sure you use the plurals and the misspellings of you niche's keywords.
Keywords that best identify your business should be prominent in your domain name. Having a keyword in your address makes it easier for people to find when searching the internet for that keyword. Remember that in order to take advantage of your full target demographic, your website must be easily accessible via search engines.
Add meta descriptions to each page on your site to improve your search engine placement. These tags are useful because they'll show up in search results and give people a reason to click your site. You should use this tool wisely, and make sure the meta tag information is succinct and informative. This type of tag usage will help to draw in more visitors to your site.
Above all else, you site has to entertain people and keep their attention if you hope to have a successful web business. Just being a one hit (or click) wonder will do no good because you want to have traffic that keeps coming back. So, strive to give your visitors what they are looking for and keep them coming back for more.
Your domain name should be both relevant to the product you're selling and easy to remember. These are great for your viewers that locate your content through YouTube.
You can learn SEO on your own. There are many resources that can teach you what you need to know about search engine optimization. There are plenty of websites to help you on your journey as well as some great books to read.
Having a popular website is about attracting visitors, and getting them to stay on your site. It is believed that the length of time that someone spends on a website will have an influence on the website's PageRank. Increases the rank of the site. You can use discussion groups and forums to convince visitors to stay logged in to your site for a longer time.
Site Map
While building a better search engine optimization strategy, having a description tag that is efficient is a good way to bring searchers to your website. Don't overdo it – 30 words at the most. Never go over 100 KB for this particular page.
Site maps can help you with your Local Seo journey. If you have a site map, web crawlers will find your site more easily. If you have a large website, you might want to break your site map into multiple sections. As a guideline, try to stay under 100 links for each map.
Article exchange can help you to improve your rankings. An article exchange means a different website puts up one of your articles and credits you with a link. You do the same for them in return. Each site will have new content, making it more helpful than link exchanges.
You should not have webpages consisting solely of links on your website. Instead, try to blend them in for best results. Link pages will not hold the interest of viewers and will be ranked accordingly by search engines. It is extremely important to have your content relevant to your text, as this is something search engines look for.
Some believe that bringing keywords into their comment tags will increase their Local Seo visibility. Always focus on what content you are providing.
Refresh and update your content often with new information. Outline weekly writing goals to keep yourself on track. When a site has more new content, search engines look upon it more favorably than those without fresh content. Sites that have new content on a regular basis tend to rank higher in the search engine results
You can boost your site's optimization for search engines by using keywords wisely within the body of blog entries, articles, or other text on your site. Don't keyword stuff, but get your keywords worked in to the first few sentences of your content. The leading paragraph should have your keyword written twice. Follow that, by placing your keyword as many times as you can into the next 200 words again, without making it feel overused or heavy-handed.
Using too many keywords can leave your website spread too thinly. Focus on the most important and relevant keywords to properly represent your website. Analytical tools can help bring the most visitors to your site.
You can optimize your website using captions. This means that when you're someone with a ton of things on a website like news articles, you should use this as an opportunity to use some captions that have a bunch of keywords.
If search engines realize that you are designing your site in an attempt to fraudulently reach the top of the rankings, they will step in to suppress your site's pages manually. Occasionally the more prominent search engines like Google and Yahoo have even banned certain companies from their search results altogether! Use methods that won't be interpreted as unethical to fine tune your SEO efforts.
You have learned many ways to improve your success with Seo. Be committed to making the best Seo adjustments, and very soon you'll start seeing some success.
