quote:Originally posted by Garen ThalJeremy, I'll chime in with my take. Ed, I'm sure, will have more.-Snows in Arabel aren't heavy enough to dump four or five feet of snow on the ground. A foot or two, though, is more than possible. Let's go with that assumption.-Snow removal in heavy winter is performed by two primary groups: soldiers and convicts sentenced to heavy labor (other duties can include breaking rocks, dredging rivers, and--for those that can be trusted--clearing sewers). They are usually sufficient to the tasks.-Barrels already exist for collecting rainwater, but pure (upper layer) snow is also dumped into wells and used for washing.-The Dragons drill, patrol the walls and streets more heavily, clear snow (first from city streets, then from roofs and eaves, then again from the streets, and then roads out of the city, etc.), and basically work to do two things: make the city passable, and make it defensible.-Many local Purple Dragons are truly local, rather than living in the Citadel, and their homes are spread out enough to accommodate for the need. But the Crown also keeps some locations spread out around the city, as well.I'll let Ed cover what he can of the rest, or the Hooded Lady chime in. They do know a bit more about Arabel than I do, after all.-Barrels

Ed tells me you'll see one of those junior members in action in a future Elminster novel - - and added that "junior" is of course a relative term. love,THO

Being a fan of paladins in D&D, my favorite deities in the Realms have been the Triad (and the Silver Flame in Eberron, which I think is really cool). I was thus glad to see that Tyr is mentioned in the Forgotten Realms deities in the Deities of the Forgotten Realms section of the D&D Basic Rules of 5e (page 108), alongside Ilmater and Torm. Ed, does this mean that Tyr is fully back in the Realms? And taking advantage of this, could you mention if Tyr differs from the one from the Earth mythology? Finally, could Ed please say if the Order of the Gauntlet faction from the Realms, which was introduced in 5e, has any relation to the Triad (would be cool!)? Thanks!

The key priority for ACCIONA is to meet our current needs without jeopardizing resources for future generations.
The Company's mission is to lead in the creation, promotion and management of Infrastructure, Water, Energy and Services projects while actively contributing to social welfare, sustainable development and the creation of value for our stakeholders.
Our vision is to be able to respond to the challenge of achieving sustainable development throughout all areas of activity so that current and future generations can enjoy better living.
These two pillars rest on our third pillar, our values, which are a reflection of what we are and what we believe at ACCIONA.
Commissioning of the first wind farm in Croatia. Located in Jelinak, this wind farm consists of 20 1.5 MW wind turbines. It will produce about 81 million kilowatt hours per year, which will be able to power more than 30,000 Croatian homes.
ACCIONA will design, construct and operate the expansion of the Fujairah Desalination Plant (United Arab Emirates), with an additional capacity of 137,000 m3 . It is expected to provide service to a population of approximately 600,000 people. This project is the third large contract that ACCIONA Agua has obtained in the Middle East.
ACCIONA further establishes itself in the Middle East by being awarded the contract to operate and maintain the Wastewater Treatment Plants in Haddah-1 and Arana-1, located in the province of Mecca, with a daily joint capacity of 375,000 m3 . This contract totals 14 million euros for an initial period of two years, with the possibility of extension.
ACCIONA has been awarded the contract for building two sections of a major Sao Paulo ring road, namely in the northern stretch of the Rodoanel Mario Covas. The project is worth about 700 million dollars.
ACCIONA Windpower opens its first wind power plant in Brazil. This plant, located in Simoes Filho (Bahía) is the Company's first industrial initiative as part of its implementation plan in the country.
The most prestigious journal in the water industry, Global Water Intelligence (GWI), awards ACCIONA Agua for the seventh consecutive time. This award recognizes the Company's merits in 2012 and its contribution to the international development of the water sector.
ACCIONA wins the bid to build the largest potable water treatment plant in Gabon. The project, worth 50 million euros, represents ACCIONA Water's foray into the country. This plant is designed to strengthen the supply capacity for the country's capital, Libreville, and its area of influence, given a demand increase in the area.
The "Oaxaca Light in the Home" project, through the ACCIONA Microenergy Foundation, provides electricity to 25,000 people in isolated rural areas throughout Mexico. This program consisted of installing solar panels that will supply 800 communities. The main focus is installing home photovoltaic systems that contain a solar panel, three lights and one battery that allow use of low-consumption electronic apparatuses.
The handling services for the Frankfurt Airport have been awarded to ACCIONA until 2020. This airport, the third largest in Europe by volume of passengers, will have ACCIONA Services for aircraft loading and unloading, passenger transportation, and aircraft marshalling and towing. The company has a staff of 900 employees, who handled 80,000 movements for 60 airlines last year.
ACCIONA Windpower and Voltalia (a renewable energy producer) sign a supply contract for wind turbines in Brazil. The contract consists of seventy 3 MW ACCIONA Windpower 3000 wind turbines, with rotor diameters of 116 and 125 meters, which in total generate 210 MW of power, across two wind farms located in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte.
The Canal de Isabel II Gestión company once more awards its power supply to ACCIONA, through its subsidiary ACCIONA Green Energy Developments. The facilities of this entity, which manages the entire water cycle in Madrid, will operate with electricity from renewable sources.
ACCIONA Energy will install its first wind farm in Chile. The 45 MW Punta Palmeras Wind Farm will strengthen the company's presence in the Latin American market, one of the current wind markets with greatest potential for development. The contract has an initial duration of 12 years, which may be extended for another five years.
ACCIONA, through its affiliate ACCIONA Infrastructure Mexico, signed a partnership agreement with the Secretary of Labor and Social Security of the Federal Government of Mexico. The objective of this agreement is to further strengthen the best international practices in Occupational Risk Prevention. This agreement seeks to improve the occupational conditions in the construction sector through the promotion and compliance of the regulations in effect.
Start-up of the first facilities of the Cajamarca Community Electricity program to provide electricity to the Community Centers in Peru. This project, promoted by the ACCIONA Microenergy Foundation, the Energy Without Borders Foundation, and the ICAI Engineers Foundation for Development, along with ACCIONA Microenergy Peru as a local partner, is aimed at bringing electricity to the community centers in the locations serviced by the Peru Microenergy Foundation in Cajamarca.
ACCIONA Producciones y Diseño (APD), an ACCIONA company, was behind the production of the 3D show in London, commissioned by UEFA to commemorate the Champion's League final. The show featured images projected in 3D in Trafalgar Square along with music and special effects.
For the third consecutive year, ACCIONA was awarded the electricity supply contract for all deslination plants, water treatment plants and other facilities managed by the state agency Aguas de las Cuencas Mediterráneas (Acuamed). The proposal increased to 31 million euros and a 24% increase in energy supply is expected above the previous year.
ACCIONA sets the world record for tunnel drilling speed at the Legacy Way tunnel in Australia. The team managed to advance 4.3 kilometers over a 6-month period.
The Croatian President inaugurates the Jelinak Wind Farm, which covers the electrical consumption of more than 30,000 homes.
Contract awarded for the operation and maintenance of the Drinking Water Plant in Jaén. ACCIONA Agua will also be in charge of the conditions to supply the Víboras and Quiebrajano systems. This act guarantees water to more than 200,000 inhabitants of 17 cities in the province of Jaén. These infrastructures form part of the "Abastecimiento a Jaén" ("Water Supply for Jaen") project, whose initial works were executed by the Ministry of Agriculture, through the state body Acuasur between 2002 and 2005.
The SEAT and Volkswagon plants in Spain will operate with renewable energy supplied by ACCIONA. The contract provides approximately 600 GWh of energy. With this award, ACCIONA expands its renewable energy supply activity to final clients into the automobile sector, where it already has important clients in the field of infrastructures and public services.
The Company carries out the design, construction and installation of the Hajj, The Journey Through Art exhibition at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha (Qatar).
ACCIONA Energy is selected by the United States Army as a potential contractor for developing wind projects. Acciona was also approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to qualify for future solar installation contracts.
ACCIONA strengthens its presence in Portugal with a Water Treatment Plant in Alentejo. The contract is worth 3.5 million euros and the plant is expected to reach a flow of 6,400 m3 per day and service an estimated population of 35,000 people. ACCIONA Agua has already built one dozen wastewater treatment plants and four water treatment plants in Portugal.
ACCIONA Windpower, affiliate of the group dedicated to the design, manufacture and sale of wind turbines, has obtained accredidation allowing them to sell their product in Brazil, in special financing conditions for its clients. This accredidation is especially significant given that Brazil is one of the most promising wind markets internationally.
Over the next ten years, ACCIONA Service will manage historic gardens including El Retiro, Parque del Oeste, Jardines de la Plaza de Oriente and El Capricho. The project is worth 95 million euros. ACCIONA Service has extensive experience in the conservation of green areas, and especially in the integral maintenance of unique and historic urban parks.
The East Line of the Fortaleza Metro (Metrofor) in Brazil has been awarded to ACCIONA Infrastructure as part of the Cetenco-ACCIONA consortium, also composed of the local company Centenco Engenharia. The new line will have 12.4 km of extension and 12 stations, and will daily transport some 400,000 people and will connect to the South and West lines.
ACCIONA's second wind farm in Poland. Krobia has eleven 3 MW ACCIONA Windpower wind turbines, allowing the company to supply 71 MW of wind energy in the country. This wind farm will annually produce some 82 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity, equivalent to the consumption of more than 40,000 Polish homes, and will thereby prevent the emission of 79,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere from coal power plants.
With a budget greater than 120 million euros, ACCIONA Agua was awarded the contract to expand the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Gabal Al Asfar, outside of Cairo (Egypt). The project includes the design, construction and start-up of the WWTP, in addition to its operation and maintenance for two years.
ACCIONA Energy, though its affiliate ACCIONA Energía Inversiones Corea S.L. formalized the sale of a South Korean investment fund for 100% ownership of the Yeong Yang I Wind Farm. The operation, which includes a net debt of 20 million euros, is part of an action plan designed by the ACCIONA to offset the effects of regulatory changes in Spain.
ACCIONA signs a contract to supply 34 wind turbines for a wind farm in Canada. The South Canoe project in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia will be the largest installed to date in the area.
ACCIONA Windpower is awarded its first contract in Turkey for the supply and assembly of the 57 MW Cercikaya Wind Farm, owned by the company ZT Enerji Elektrik Üretim Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (Zafer Group). The agreement includes the operation and maintenance of the facility for 10 years. With this country, AW-operated wind turbines, or those with signed orders are now present in 18 countries.
ACCIONA Energy sells Swisspower Renewables AG the entirety of their wind assets in Germany, consisting of a total of 18 wind farms in operation located in Lower Saxony and Brandeburg, with a total capacity of 150.3 MW. The price of the operation, for a total amount of 157 million euros, includes a net bank debt of 85 million euros. This action constitutes the second de-investment made by the Energy division.

In 2013 ACCIONA maintains its commitment to international expansion, consolidating its presence on five continents.
Forty-one percent of total turnover in 2013 came from outside Spain. This figure confirms that the global expansion strategy was the right one given the national economy's adverse conditions.
In 2013 ACCIONA strengthened its presence in Latin American markets, which continue last year's trend, offering a favorable and stable economic outlook. The Company was awarded very important projects in Infrastructure and also in Energy, Water and Services. It continues to grown in the Asia-Pacific region and increases its strategic importance in North Africa and the Middle East. In Europe, the nascent economic stability has resulted in the execution of several contracts.
See all the details in this chapter.
In 2013 ACCIONA has increased its commitment to R&D and innovation, refocusing its strategy on the innovation lines across all its businesses. Investment in R&D in 2013 totalled 173.2 million euros, representing a 4.2% increase over the previous year.
This effort has been rewarded with the strong position gained in major innovation rankings. For example, The 2013 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard published by the European Commissino's IRI (Economics of Industrial Research and Innovation) ranks ACCIONA as "the Spanish company that has grown the most in R&D investment over the last three years".
This chapter will showcase ACCIONA's innovation efforts in 2013.

Series: #1 of The Eternal Forces
Genre: New Adult Paranormal Romance
Publisher: Dragonfairy Press
Publisher: Dragonfairy Press
What would you do to have the body of your dreams?
Kiera hates being overweight and hides behind thick layers of clothing. One night, her friends present an opportunity that seems impossible to believe. With a single spell, she can have the thin physique she's always coveted.
But all magic comes with a price: no sex or she'll revert back to her old body. Kiera accepts the cost. It's not like she has men lined up at her door. Obeying this one tiny rule isn't difficult at all—until the night she meets Cain, a were-tiger and a soldier with the Eternal Forces.
When a slew of unexplained murders forces Kiera and Cain together, they'll have to face the horrors of their pasts. Will Kiera realize she is worth more than her outward appearance? Or will she make the wrong the choice and lose everything—including her life?
About the Author
Megan D. Martin is a multi-published author, mother, student and editor. In her spare time she enjoys decorating her house with strange things that do not match, playing her old school Nintendo Entertainment System, and buying fish for her many fish tanks.
You can find Megan on pretty much every social networking site that exists.
Skin Deep is a book about a relatable subject, a woman wishing to have a different body. A story about learning to accept who we are and about loving ourselves so others can do it too.
Kiera has gone to hell and back. After moving away from a violent and abusive boyfriend, she is now alone surrounded with few friends and a boring life. Always dreaming about having the perfect body she has come to hate herself. Many of us have had or have issues with our bodies or a part of it. When a gypsy offers you the chance of a lifetime, what would you do?
Things get complicated when she gets her wish but at a high price: no sex. So imagine what a mess her life becomes once she meets Cain. He is sexy, wild and a man whore.
I like how good both characters are and how well they are developed. Their pasts are well thought and are complete. Some of their past experiences are pretty cruel and difficult to imagine but they make the story even better.
This is a story about healing and how Kiera and Cain have to come to peace with their flaws and secrets before taking their relationship to another level. I love the book because of this because the sexual tension had a meaning.
A story full of tension, with the temperature always at its peak and emotions running wild. The book has a fast pace and a great language. The author creates a great world where paranormal creatures are real and have lots of fun.

Welcome to our new web site!

"The Belle of Two Arbors" is a fictional look at the University of Michigan's golden age of poetry, when Robert Frost held court on the campus along with Theodore Roethke and W.H. Auden.
Belle, of the title, is a fictional young woman of considerable means. She is a long-distance swimmer, a stand-in mother to her brother Pip, a poetess and a mature, 21-year-old freshman at Michigan in 1921.
First nurtured in the literary arts by her mother, who introduces her to Emily Dickinson, above all, Belle wants to write poetry. But like Dickinson, she hides her poetry away.
At 6 feet tall with sweeping red hair, she cuts quite a figure on campus. She soon comes to the notice of Frost who is in the middle of one of his many forays on campus as a visiting professor.
The two Arbors are Ann Arbor and Glen Arbor where Belle was born and raised near the sweeping dunes. A terrible tragedy changes Belle's life when her mother drowns. She is forced into becoming a mother to her younger brother and becomes a half-owner of her father's burgeoning stove business.
Belle leads two lives, spreading her time between two locations and holding her own against male-dominated academia.
While at school, Belle is forced into an all-male atmosphere that debates the importance of rhetoric, composition, creative writing and journalism, and comparing it against academic literature.
"Before 1982 there was no full-time woman faculty member in the U-M English Department," Dimond said.
While at Michigan, Belle uses her growing importance to help support women's athletics, especially swimming, while openly confronting one athletic director who believes "the social position of women does not permit any physical exploitation or unladylike competition.'" Dimond also seamlessly shows another side of Belle as she finds a lover, Rabbie, with whom she may or may not end up, because of cultural prejudices disfavoring mixed Catholic-Protestant marriage.
Back in Glen Arbor, Belle enlists a crew of competent managers including David, an Ojibwe Indian and a friend from her youth, to run the stove company. She also throws herself into saving the dunes for future generations while nurturing the nascent tourism industry. She spends freely from her fortune, anonymously supporting a range of philanthropic causes.
Parading through Dimond's book are a long list of characters from Michigan's 20th century, including former Gov. Chase Osborn, Lansing's All-American Harry Kipke, former University of Michigan president Marion LeRoy Burton and the beloved Chris-Craft boat — but it's the poets that take center stage.
Dimond has diligently researched his 680-page book, enabling him to insert details that help create a believable tale — especially about Frost. He pulls no punches describing the poet's challenged, turbulent life.
Dimond served as a special assistant composed for President Bill Clinton on economic policy and litigated numerous major civil rights cases. He said he was drawn to Frost when he read his famous poem "The Gift Outright," at President John Kennedy's Inauguration in 1962.
"If you read it today and compare it to what is going on in the country, Frost makes the point of what poets are about — to question power," Dimond said.
Dimond said he tried several outlets for writing before "Belle," but he was not happy with the results until this book.
"I have always been a history buff, and I try to tell the stories of the two Arbors through the eyes of Belle," he said. "It was a labor of love."
That saw him ensconced in quiet archives, researching the overlapping lives of Frost, Roethke and Auden.
Through Belle's eyes, we learn about both Frost's and Roethke's tennis game and Roethke's early penchant for tipping a flask. Cleverly, both Frost and Roethke become guests at Belle's mansion in Ann Arbor and the Glen Arbor home.
The book also interweaves the poetry of Martha Buhr Grimes, who mimics Belle's poetic voice, helping to deepen the reader's understanding of her character.
The novel is a sweeping historical look at two-thirds of America's 20th century through the eyes of Belle and her poetry and her effort to keep her poetic sense of life against the backdrop of the Roaring '20s, the Great Depression, World War II and the post-war boom.

CEO of Apple testing out prototype for Glucose tracking on Apple Watch!
The CEO of Apple Tim Cook has been testing out a prototype glucose tracker that pairs with an Apple Watch.
According to a report from CNBC. The newest piece of technology recently was rumored about after it was speculated that Apple hired a team of biomechanical engineers to help develop this noninvasive device to help monitor the blood sugars of those with diabetes.
It's being speculated that the team has already started tests with the tracker. The new tech is able to penetrate the skin with it's sensors to give a glucose reading.
Tim Cook opened up to students at University of Glasgow in February about the glucose tracker. He said:
"It's mentally anguishing to stick yourself many times a day to check your blood sugar," Cook said, according to CNBC. "There is lots of hope out there that if someone has constant knowledge of what they're eating, they can instantly know what causes the response… and that they can adjust well before they become diabetic."
[ Sawyer Auger, his rise to fame & new single & 'I Need My Space' ]
And taking that more than 29 million Americans suffer from diabetes this would be a cool piece of technology to own. It would help those who might be unaware of their condition and then you have those who have it and need daily monitoring.
Steve Jobs had a dream to create this device. It's been on Apple's to-do list for the last five years and the technique might be a challenge, we know that Apple will be able to pull it off and better many lives through this new technology that pairs to the Apple Watch.
What do you guys think about the idea? Let us know in the comments below.
Blessed be.

Major banks have been accused of a number of misdeeds in recent years relating to the economic collapse. But now the most recent allegation involves potential employment discrimination in New York.Our Great Neck employment law attorneys understand that two former employees have filed separate lawsuits accusing mega-banks Bank of America and Cantor Fitzgerald of company-wide racism.
Unfortunately, cases such as this can be difficult to prove. It's like being pulled over by a police officer. He or she may have initiated the stop based on your race, but if you were speeding, had a headlight that was out or tinted windows, it can be difficult to prove that the officer was wrong to stop you.
It's the same kind of uphill battle for employees who allege discrimination – an experienced law firm can help. Evidence might include an executive's statement made in the presence of others or some electronic communication such as an e-mail or something else to indicate that action taken against you (or favorable action not taken toward you) was on the basis of your race or some other protected status, such as your religion, gender or sexual orientation. A pattern of behavior on the part of the company can also go toward proof of employment bias.
Ideally, your complaint would be combined with a solid work history. In other words, the employer had no reason to take the action against you that it did except for a personally-held or company-wide bias.
That may well have been the case here, though it remains to be seen how the courts will decide.
In the first of these two cases, James v. Cantor Fitzgerald LP, filed in the US. District Court in the Southern District of New York, the plaintiff is a black man who worked at Cantor Fitzgerald for four years, ending in the summer of 2008. During that time, he says he endured racial harassment from co-workers that was condoned by his managers. This harassment included certain colleagues making ape-like noises while around him and in one case, a co-worker saying he would be enjoying a weekend absent any African Americans, only he used a slur instead.
The plaintiff says that he notified the bank management about it, but rather than address it, he says, he was denied promotions. In one case, he says, a bank manager instructed him to transfer locations so he could "be around his own people." The employee says when he pressed the supervisor for the meaning of that statement, he said the supervisor responded by telling him he needed to be around other African Americans.
He says he was fired for complaining about the harassment. He is asking for his job back, as well as back pay, bonuses and punitive damages.
In the second case, a black male was a manager at a Bank of America branch from early in 2007 until the summer of 2008. During that time, he stated that the branch policy was that white customers should not be served by African American employees.
What that meant for the manager was that he was routinely assigned to branches that were in lower-income communities. That in turn led to affecting certain commission and compensation. The manager said when he complained about this, he was fired.
He is seeking $10 million in damages.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team
The anime series, Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team (機動戦士ガンダム 第08MS小隊), is an eleven-episode Gundam OVA series that takes place during the One-Year War, and depicts the point of view of the common soldier rather than that of the Newtype aces. Its release began in 1996 and ended in 1999. A twelveth epilogue episode, called Last Resort, was released a few months after the series ended, and featured a more surreal plotline than the rest of the series.
The series taking such a long time to be released (Last Resort was released a full three and a half years after the series began) was largely due to the sudden tragic death of director Takeyuki Kanda in a car accident in July of 1996. The series was later completed by a new director, GONZO's Umanosuke Iida.
The first eleven episodes of 08th MS Team were shown on Cartoon Network in 2001. Last Resort was never shown on television because Cartoon Network allegedly did not want to show an episode that revolved around children being drafted into the military. However, all twelve episodes are on the DVD release.
The 08th MS Team was one of the most 'realist' animation of the Gundam series. Some vehicles and mobile suits are redesigned to become more militaristic. Gundams are not heroicly praised and often suffer damage even when against minor enemies. No Newtypes are mentioned and having Gundams being only mass produced units also put the Gundam into a less important part of the OVA, concerning more on the drama and situation. (Wikipedia)

Stephens Life, the student magazine of Stephens College, has been named a Best of Collegiate Design Pinnacle Award finalist in two design categories. The Pinnacle Awards are presented by the College Media Association, the national association for collegiate media and its advisers, and honor the best in college media organizations and individual work.
Two feature stories from the Spring 2016 issue of Stephens Life have been named as finalists: "I Like Fashion and Naps" in the Best Magazine Entertainment Page/Spread category and "The Disruption: A Year of Fractured Fashion" in the Best Magazine News Page/Spread category.
Stephens Life is produced by Stephens students as part of a practicum class available through the School of Design. However, students from any major can enroll. The practicum encourages a real-world publishing environment where students take on the roles of creative director, art director, graphic designer, photographer or writer, and work together to produce a high quality magazine publication.
"Stephens Life recently underwent a rebranding process," said Amy Parris, projects manager. "That evolution led to the multipage, forward-looking magazine you see today.
"We also stress a real-world work environment. Students are getting hands-on experience from the pitching of articles to the final production and every step along the way.
"We know our students do great work and we've been thrilled with the response from industry professionals, alumnae, current students and prospective students to our vision, but it is certainly nice to be recognized nationally for that as well by our peers."
"We introduced a rebranding process in 2016, led by Parris, that thoroughly involved our students and reflected a more modern, photo-centric approach to journalism," said Dr. Monica McMurry, dean of the School of Design. "We believe each page should bring the reader into a relationship with the story, and we are overjoyed to be recognized for that vision with these nominations."
Stephens senior Kalynn Coy, who served as creative director on both nominated projects and who is returning to Stephens Life this year, said "I loved being part of the magazine's evolution; I loved that process. It's been amazing to see how the publication has grown and to be a part of that. Everyone worked so hard to make this happen."
In addition to Coy, "I Like Fashion and Naps" included the work of current students Madisson Alexander and Brianna Knopf, and May graduates Oletha Hope Crutcher and Lluvia Garcia. Gerica Curry wrote the article. "The Disruption" also included the work of current student Darby Jones, and May graduates Kyla Cherry, Oletha Hope Crutcher and Sarah Vitel. The award covers submissions from the 2015-2016 academic year.
Winners will be announced at the association's National College Media Convention which will be held Oct. 26-30 in Atlanta.
Review the complete list of finalists.

Lions and Hyenas fight it out at the top of the predator chain in most areas where they occur together. In some areas the Lions have the upper hand and in others it is the Hyenas that are the dominant predator. It was, until recently, believed that Lions were the so called king of the beasts' and that they lauded over all but studies have found that in many areas Hyenas are dominant over Lions.
The Predator Chain Botswana Wildlife Guide
By Leigh Kemp
Scavengers or Hunters?The classic African image of Hyenas waiting for Lions to finish their kill so that they can move in and scavenge the leftovers added to the image of Lions been the dominant hunter and Hyenas the scavenger. Studies have found, and I have personally witnessed on numerous occasions, that the Hyena does the hunting and the Lion is the scavenger.A kill can change hands a number of times between Lions and Hyenas. In many areas of Africa the Hyena hunts more food than it scavengers and Lions scavenge more than they hunt.
Hyenas react very differently to male and female Lions. When Hyenas are on a kill and Lions are attempting a takeover the Hyenas will stand and fight if it is a group of Lionesses involved but as soon as a male Lion is in the picture the Hyena will give a wide berth.
If male Lions are on a kill the Hyenas will not make any attempt at a takeover but with Lionesses the Hyenas will show less restraint. It has been noted in some areas that Hyenas challenge the male Lions but this may be from previous incidents with the particular males where the Hyenas gained the upper hand and they have dominance over the males.Lions and Hyenas scavenge a great deal from other predators such as the Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dog. To overcome the stealing of their food by other predators Cheetahs eat very quickly once they have killed in order to prevent scavenging by others.
Leopard will often pull their kill into a tree to keep it from other Lions and Hyenas. Wild Dogs can devour a carcass in a few minutes but it has been observed where Lions and Hyenas have stolen the kill.
Wild Dogs and Other PredatorsHyenas and Wild Dogs have an interesting relationship in that the Wild Dog is usually dominant over the Hyena in all aspects except feeding. Depending on the number in each group the Hyena will have the upper hand when it comes to stealing a carcass from Wild Dogs.Cheetah are the lowest on the predator scale among the larger carnivores with incidents of Jackal stealing kills from them been observed. As a Cheetah is built for speed to catch its prey, it does not have the strength to protect itself from other predators. It overcomes its deficiency by eating its food very quickly.Leopard are also low on the predator chain with Lions and Hyenas stealing kills from them but they overcome this by pulling their kills into a tree, safe from Lions and Hyenas, although Lions have, on occasion, been observed climbing into trees and stealing the carcass.
Killing of the YoungIn the game of survival predators will kill the young of other predators when they come across them. As the young are left alone when the adults are out hunting they are often targets of other predator species and even individuals of their own species of different prides or territories. Baboons form a large part of a Leopard diet and they therefore kill leopard cubs when they come across them. They do not eat the cubs but do this as part of their survival strategy.

BANGOR, Maine — Maineville.com, the Bangor Daily News' community Web site, has completed a major redesign and will launch its new version Tuesday.
Maineville is designed to let community members post their news, photos, videos and events. It also invites anyone interested in blogging to contribute commentary, and provides local pages for 25 Maine communities, from Fort Kent to Portland. The new Maineville site will be simpler to use and has a cleaner look that also will allow pages to load faster.
"The improvements to Maineville reflect comments from our audience," said Todd Benoit, director of new media at the Bangor Daily News. "We listened to what they said, especially about seeing more content on the town pages, and we redesigned with that in mind. So much of Maineville comes from user-generated contribu-tions, so our goal was to make the experience of being on the site and contributing to it as enjoyable as possible."
The major technical change is the site's center feed, where all local events, photos, video and blogs will appear. Previously, users needed to open new pages to see each of these features; now they will all appear on one page but still be separated by category.
Among the other changes:
• Instead of the "Most Read" local news stories, the new town pages will show recent reader comments on stories from that town.
• The local events calendar, one of the most popular features on the old site, is being moved to a higher position, on the upper left of the page.
• The news ticker from the Bangor Daily News also gets new prominence by being streamed across the top of all pages
• Finally, the search function will be much more powerful and also will allow for searches of bangordailynews.com.
The Bangor Daily News redesigned the site with the assistance of Chris Gann from Creative Circle Media Consulting of Providence, R.I.
An additional expansion of Maineville — a new searchable site for businesses to affordably reach local audiences — will be called Maineville Market and is planned for May.

Can't say I disagree with the assertion that US policy is to blame for the destabilization, death and destruction that has created the refugee crisis.
Of course it's not quite that simple. NATO the global terror machine, lead by the US, played it's part. Working towards the mono culture world- One government- Tyranny. One people- lacking diversity and a whole host of control mechanisms/gmo's and other sick, disgusting anti-life ideologies (carbon) The servitude of the US to Israeli interests was a factor that must also be considered.
Still the US undertook the lead role and because of their vile machinations they have destroyed ancient civilizations, killed many people, displaced many people and through their actions the world will mostly ignore Israel's role in the carnage
I do not see this mess as a miscalculation on the part of the US. I don't even want to read incompetence or blow back in the comments section. That's baloney! This was the plan. Order out of chaos. New order.
CAIRO, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- As waves of refugees displaced from Syria (allegedly) seem to have overwhelmed the continental Europe, the West-backed so-called "Color Revolution" that has brought endless wars and conflicts to the Middle East over the past several years is now under widespread criticism
According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, Syria's four-year-old civil war has displaced 12 million people since the uprising erupted in 2011. Among them, four million chose to flee their homelands and moved to neighboring countries such as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.
"The U.S. intervention in Syria, as well as its regional allies' support for the oppositions have caused this humanitarian disaster. Syria is on the verge of a split-up," said Samir Ghatas, chairman of Middle East forum for Political and Strategic Affairs.
Analysts say that the current refugees crisis, the worst in the post-war era, can find its roots in the U.S.-sponsored Color Revolution, which, under the pretense of spreading western-style democracy, aimed to facilitate regime changes by fanning anti-government protests.
The truth is that because of the intervention, the countries, including Syria, Yemen and Libya, have now been struggling with unprecedented level of chaos and bloodshed.
Saeed al-Lawendi, political professor at Cairo University, told Xinhua that " revolutions mean change, but the change in the Arab world has destroyed the region. The United States has created new enemy for countries in the region: terrorism and sectarianism."This is where the creation of Kurdistan comes into play- It benefits Israel. One could say it makes Israel "Greater". Kurdistan will be another 'Washington friendly' government and NATO terror state if all goes according to plans.
United States came to support the revolution for two reasons: one is to protect Israel, while the other is to prop up Washington-friendly governments.
The U.S. government is quite influential among the liberals in the Middle East. And that has helped Washington promote its own agendas in the region, like turning the younger generations there into advocates for the Western political systems, he said.
Samir Ghatas said that the United States also backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Syria and Tunisia under the table, which Washington could use as tools to facilitate the change it wants.
Now that the tide of the revolution has ebbed, the United States and its European partners have to deal with rampant terrorism and tremendous number of refugees, products of their their own making.
Last month, German Chancellor Angela Merkel promised that her country agrees to take in more refugees, which is applauded by the international community.
However, as large numbers of refugees have swarmed in, they are straining the ability of local authorities to host them, and causing a hardening of public opinion.
A new opinion poll in Germany showed that about 51 percent of Germans no longer believe that their country can handle the refugee tide.
German President Joachim Gauck recently warned that refugees's assimilation could be the nation's biggest challenge since the cold war ended in 1991. "We're facing a challenge that will occupy us for generations," he said.
According to a new government report, about 1.5 million refugees are coming to Germany this year, twice of the previous forecast. "It will be an extreme burden on state and local governments," the report said.
On Sept. 20, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that the United States will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, as Obama administration was under further pressure to accept more victims of the Syrian crisis.
"The United States is not an uninterested bystander in Europe's refugee crisis. If mishandled, the mounting flow of refugees will pose multiple challenges to U.S. interests and could prove a divisive element in transatlantic relations," Ian Lesser, political analyst from the German Marshell Fund, said.
"In the view of many Europeans, the United States is already implicated in the current crisis. It is not uncommon to hear that today's unprecedented refugee flows are the direct result of failed strategy towards Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and the Mideast as a whole," he added.Don't Miss-
