WikiAfrica | Countries |
WikiAfrica is a project to increase the quality and quantity of African content on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects.
WikiAfrica uses a number of interventions to create, expand and enhance online content and representation of Africa, its history, people, innovations and contemporary realities, on the world's most used encyclopaedia, Wikipedia. WikiAfrica seeks to support Wikipedia as a free and open encyclopaedia that truthfully provides access to information about Africa. The project's interventions are aimed at both uploading and expanding content that already resides in heritage, cultural and academic institutions across Africa, as well as activating, training and supporting a self-sustaining new generation of Wikipedian editors from across the continent, able to generate new articles and subjects relevant to contemporary Africa.

A curated list for 2017 of nonprofit professional development opportunities. Included in this guide, you will find information about upcoming regional professional development events, academic courses and certifications and webinarsall available locally or onlineplus contact information for local consulting experts.
Waukegan, IL – June 26, 2015 - The Lake County Community Foundation, an affiliate of The Chicago Community Trust, announced $159,500 in grants to local nonprofit organizations addressing the urgent needs of the most vulnerable individuals and families in the county.
Waukegan, IL - March 1, 2016 - The Lake County Community Foundation announced today the addition of the Rev. Dr. Robert A. Davis to the Board of Directors, as well as new officer roles for several existing members.
The Rev. Dr. Davis, senior pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Libertyville, joins the Foundation board with a lengthy record of civic and board service, community engagement and leadership across the entire county - both with and among faith-based groups as well as non-denominational social service agencies and public-private partnerships.
His arrival coincides with the elevation of third-term board member and Green Oaks resident, Miah H. Armour, from the role of Vice-Chair to Board Chair, and of Dominica Tallarico, president of Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville to Vice-Chair. Martha Hinchman senior vice president of The Northern Trust Company, who joined the board in early 2015, assumes the role of Secretary. Larry Connolly, General Counsel, Aon Hewitt, retired, will continue as Treasurer for another term. For more information on Foundation's Board of Directors, go to http://www.lakecountycf.org/about/our-board.
"I am pleased to welcome Pastor Bob to this committed group of Lake County community and business leaders," said Armour. "In just over a decade, together with donors and the support of The Chicago Community Trust, the Foundation has invested over $3,000,000 of competitive grants across the Lake County nonprofit landscape. It's powerful to see what we can achieve when we pool our philanthropic dollars for maximum impact. The upcoming grant cycle takes on even more importance as nonprofit groups throughout Lake County struggle to serve more people in need with less resources due to the state budget shortfall."
The Foundation's 2016 competitive grant cycle will open in May. Technical assistance sessions are scheduled for May 17th and 18th and Letters of Inquiry are due May 27th. Proposals will be evaluated starting in late June with notification of awards scheduled for July 29, 2016.
Grant making guidelines, funding priorities as well as details on the application and evaluation process can be found at http://www.lakecountycf.org/apply/home. For more information please contact Wendy Richter at 847-377-0520 or
About The Lake County Community Foundation

One of the notable features of the global ocean is that the salinity of the North Atlantic is about 1 psu higher than that of the North Pacific. This contrast is thought to be due to one of the large asymmetries in the global water cycle: the transport of water vapor by the trade winds across Central America and the lack of any comparable transport into the Atlantic from the Sahara Desert. Net evaporation serves to maintain high Atlantic salinities, and net precipitation lowers those in the Pacific. Because the effects on upper-ocean physics are markedly different in the evaporating and precipitating regimes, the next phase of research in the Salinity Processes in the Upper-ocean Regional Study (SPURS) must address a high rainfall region. It seemed especially appropriate to focus on the eastern tropical Pacific that is freshened by the water vapor carried from the Atlantic. In a sense, the SPURS-2 Pacific region will be looking at the downstream fate of the freshwater carried out of the SPURS-1 North Atlantic region. Rainfall tends to lower surface density and thus inhibit vertical mixing, leading to quite different physical structure and dynamics in the upper ocean. Here, we discuss the motivations for the location of SPURS-2 and the scientific questions we hope to address.

Today is the deadline for applying to Silverlight challenge 28. januar 2008 Miha Markič Silverlight, Slovenia (0) Don't forget, Silverlight challenge is going to close after today. So, apply before it is too late. MIX and other great prizes are still waiting for you!
telerik supporting Mono? 26. januar 2008 Miha Markič ASP.Net, .net (2) Looks like telerik is going to support Mono. This news is certainly interesting for Mono guys as it might give wings to Mono. Which is a good thing, indeed. However, the support (if it is going to happen) will probably be limited to asp.net components - they don't even mention WinForms at this point. I assume that running WinForms controls on Mono is a different story because WinForms controls are still pretty much tied to Windows API for performance reasons. I wonder if the situation will change with adoption of WPF where there is no need to hook into Windows API directly.UPDATE: This news is not new news but old news (2 years).
HTC is giving a finger to its customers 26. januar 2008 Miha Markič Hardware, Windows Mobile (1) I already reported about presumably lack of drivers in newer HTC devices. At the time it was all speculation. Now we have an official response from HTC. They are basically saying: Yes, we advertise the devices as great, the devices have actually great hardware but we don't include proper drivers because it would take time and effort from us. Thus the devices perform worse than years older devices but it is still good for you. We won't provide drivers for actual devices, no, that would take time and effort from us. Instead, since you demand it, we will sell you future devices with such drivers, if you really want it. Maybe. Now, let's play a couple of analogies. Let's say you bought 64 of the newest top notch graphic card, that features a zillion of pipelines and 64 way SLI. You plug them into your mobo that supports 64 SLI graphic cards and try playing Duke Nuke'm 4 only to find out that graphics perform same as with a single 4 year old graphic card. The reason being drives not included. Nor they are available at all. What? You did assume drivers were there? Let's see a car analogy. You buy a great car, that includes a turbo charger. Yet, the acceleration and top speed are low. The reason being turbo charger is not working because is not connected. And you can't connect it since nobody is selling connection cables. What? You did assume turbo charger will work? Now, let me state this clear, as there is some misunderstanding in the air. It is not just about video playback speed and quality. The entire UI is slow. Try running Windows in safe mode with VGA mode enabled and you'll get the point. This lousy UI performance casts a very dark shadow to [MS] Windows Mobile, too - many says that the slowness is because Windows Mobile sucks. Perhaps, but the core reason is the lack of hardware acceleration. No wonder that iPhone had such a success. In this case Apple did an integral product, not just created good hardware and throw it to the customers. No, they actually provide proper software, too. (I am still in favor of Windows Mobile devices though for other reasons, such as programmability). Looks like the Windows Mobile device manufacturers lack of common sense when comes to usability. So, what does the biggest Windows Mobile device manufacturer do when its customers point out that it is selling an underperfoming device just because lack of proper drivers. Will they rectify the problem and provide proper drivers? Will they provide proper drivers for a small fee? No, HTC shows a proverbial finger at its loyal customers (HTC is also mentioning how much they value their customers in every press release). I only hope that this attitude will backfire on them. The biggest mystery of this story is, why isn't HTC including these drivers by default. I mean what company wouldn't like to have best performing devices out there? I presume that there are two basic reasons: They are plain stupid (they don't see why those would be required, even now, with iPhone UI performance out there) They are cheap. Which is stupid again. Because they won't spend money on better software they'll loose additional customers. But if they did spend it would be certainly an overall profit for them. I really can't think of other reasons. So, it is not just about the lack of drivers, what really is sad, is the response and attitude from HTC. But hey, let's give the finger back - I won't buy a HTC device again and I am sure that many others won't as well.
VS2008 SP1? 22. januar 2008 Miha Markič .net 3.5 (0) I just read an interesting post about debugging enhancement for Visual Studio 2008 SP1. Right, the post isn't interesting just because of new features but also because it actually mentions the existence of SP1. Looks like we might see SP1 earlier then expected :-)
Revolutionary approach to check whether connection to database will work for next command 21. januar 2008 Miha Markič .net (5) As we all know, an open connection to database server might drop for a reason or another whenever. And a dead connection is one of the reasons that our command against database server might not succeed - instead we'll get an exception. I mean, you can't know in advance if the command will succeed and connection will hold for the lifetime of the execution. It turns out that all who believed the above were wrong. You can actually predict the success of command execution. Meet ping pong test: Dim WithEvents Pong as New Ping() Pong.Send(IPAddress) Private Sub Pong_PingCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _ PingCompletedEventArgs) Handles Pong.PingCompleted If e.Reply.Status <> IPStatus.Success Then GiveUP() ElseIf e.Reply.RoundtripTime > 750 Then TryAgainLater() End If End Sub The test above is suggested from a guy in ado.net/vb.net newsgroups. He asserts that based on the ping pong success one can predict whether connection to the database server is good, database server is up and running, will execute our command connection and will hold to the end of our command execution. If one can extrapolate all that knowledge from a simple ping, perhaps there is even more knowledge in i.e. tracert? Is it possible to extrapolate everything (including future and past) from these simple utilities? Who knows. Read more in "Checking for table existence" thread. Disclaimer: This post is not serious. It is just reaction to at least funny and at worst dangerous claims (if one takes them as granted) in the newsgroups. The ping pong test just lets you know that server (not database server) is responding to ping command. Nothing else.
HTC devices and lack of proper drivers 19. januar 2008 Miha Markič Hardware, Windows Mobile (0) If you are considering to buy a HTC device or already have one then you should definitely visit this website: HTCClassAction.org. IOW a range of HTC devices that have Qualcomm CPU (MSM7200 and MSM7500) lack of proper drivers. I own a TyTN II and I can confirm that UI is really crappy slow while the paper specs looks far better. Now, why would a manufacturer decide to cripple its devices? My guess: most probably because there are no proper drivers from Qualcomm for Windows Mobile. Yet. So we all have to wait for proper drivers to emerge. And here we get a real problem. HTC is playing dumb, denying the problem and stalling which is a completely wrong attitude from such a company. Instead of saying something like: "Qualcomm screwed us with not providing the drivers, we are pushing them, will update drivers asap (i.e. month/year) and sorry for all the problems" they are playing dumb. "Luckily" the number of angry users is raising, petitions are being signed, news is spreading through online community and lawsuit is being prepared. And perhaps HTC will change the attitude, after all the public image is important and even HTC should understand this. At the end, even though we might get proper drivers, a black spot will remain on HTC for a long, long time. The fact how they are dealing with the problems might turn away a lot of existing and potential customers. I hope that this will serve them as a lesson where to improve.
A part of .NET Framework Source Code is available for debugging purposes 17. januar 2008 Miha Markič .net 3.5 (0) Great news. [MS] finally released a part of .NET Framework Source Code for debugging purposes. A move that didn't even seem possible a year or so ago. Anyway, these are the assemblies available for inspection. If I understand properly more will follow. Mscorlib.DLL System.DLL System.Data.DLL System.Drawing.DLL System.Web.DLL System.Web.Extensions.DLL System.Windows.Forms.DLL System.XML.DLL WPF (UIAutomation*.dll, System.Windows.DLL, System.Printing.DLL, System.Speech.DLL, WindowsBase.DLL, WindowsFormsIntegration.DLL, Presentation*.dll, some others) Microsoft.VisualBasic.DLL Read more about how to enable symbol/source code loading in Shawn Burke's post and don't forget to install this Visual Studio 2008 QFE (otherwise you'll be bugged with license agreement windows all the time). Read also license agreement clarification (from Scott Guthrie's post) about possible concerns: The .NET Framework source is being released under a read-only reference license.

Port of Call DVD
Starring Nine-Christine Jönsson, Bengt Eklund, Mimi Nelson, Berta Hall, Brigitta Valberg, Sif Ruud, Britta Billsten, Harry Ahlin, Nils Hallberg
Directed by Ingmar Bergman
Typically stark and reflective early film by Swedish auteur Ingmar Bergman, set on the waterfront of the bleak Gothenburg harbour.
Berit Holm (Nine-Christine Jönsson) is a lonely and disturbed young woman who has worked as a prostitute and spent years in mental institutions.
When she meets impoverished deckhand Goesta (Bengt Eklund), the two begin a romance, but Gosta struggles to overcome his puritanical attitude towards Berit's difficult past.
A brooding and uncompromising tale of oppressive and destructive relationships, the film takes an unusual turn for the positive in the final scenes, presenting a 'happy ending' that nevertheless, in true Bergman style, leaves many problems unresolved.
- Format: DVD
- Region: 0
- Certification: (15)
- Catalogue number: TVD3519
- Studio: Palisades Tartan
- Release date: 06/12/2004

Jobs in Sanford, FL
- 251,197 Resumes
- 12,694 Jobs Available
- 57,525 Population
- $51,000 Average Salary
Known as the "Historic Waterfront Gateway City," Sanford is home to Seminole State College of Florida and the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens. It also hosts the Orlando Sanford International Airport, the region's secondary commercial airport for domestic and international carriers. Before you embark on your search for employment in Seminole country, it can be helpful to research salaries and prospects in the local job market. The following provides a preliminary introduction to jobs in Sanford.
As a vibrant city that attracts a lot of tourism, Sanford is a good place to look for work. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that area unemployment is at 4.4 percent, down from 5.3 percent a year prior. The leisure and hospitality industry is the fastest growing in the area, gaining 7.3 percent during a 12-month period. Next at 4.6 percent growth are trade, transportation and utilities and the financial activities sector. Rounding out the top five are professional and business services with growth of 4.4 percent and the government sector at 1.7 percent. Average weekly wages are $844, notably lower than the $1,048 national average.
It's important to write a résumé that holds a potential employer's interest and does a good job of selling them on your strengths. Regardless of your chosen profession, there are some nearly universal elements of good résumés. Here are some do's and don'ts to help you put together a résumé that gets results.
1. Do stress accomplishments. Your résumé should be a vocal cheerleader for you. Feature any achievements that have distinguished you in your career.
2. Don't include salary information. This can make you look naïve and unprofessional. It can also seriously weaken your power to negotiate pay if you're offered jobs in Sanford.
3. Do keep tightly focused. Many hiring managers have to deal with so many applicants that they just can't take the time to give proper attention to each. Spend extra time refining your document so that it jumps straight into presenting a clear case for the benefits of hiring you.
4. Don't include your religious affiliation or other controversial details. You don't want to bias decision makers or create a situation that could lead to the appearance of bias. Also be careful not to include anything that might indirectly convey such information.
5. Do proofread your work. Submitting a résumé containing errors creates a negative impression of you and a low expectation for the quality of the work you would provide.
Employment searches don't have to be nightmares. Planning ahead and making a few good choices can take a lot of the stress out of finding jobs in Sanford. Here are a few pointers.
1. Take assessments. Identifying your strengths, weaknesses and interests can help to focus your search. It's important to have a clear awareness of what you want to do and what skills you can employ to do it.
2. Prepare for a lengthy search. You may find a job quickly, but looking for jobs in Sanford may take a while, just as in any other city. Recognizing this can help keep you from getting discouraged if you don't find something right away.
3. Make full use of your contacts. Call on colleagues, family and friends to help you find opportunities. Some people in your network may be privy to information that could be very useful. Some of your contacts may even have direct links to hiring managers or other decision makers in companies of interest to you.
4. Follow up. Until a prospective employer gives you a firm no, you should check back every few days to a week. This shows them you're the type who takes initiative and that you're serious about the job.
5. Make a schedule. It's important to stay organized when hunting for jobs in Sanford. Scheduling your job search activities keeps you moving forward and makes it easier to manage simultaneous application processes.

Issue: Whether employees are considered "disabled" if their ailments can be kept in check by corrective treatments.
Risk: Many employers wrongly assume that corrective treatments wipe out an employee's ADA protection.
Action: Treat every ADA claim separately. To decide ADA eligibility, focus on the employee's ability after the corrective measures.
Here's a vexing question many HR professionals face: Are employees considered "disabled" under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) even if their ailments are controlled by medication or some other corrective treatments? The answer: "Maybe." You must look at each person's situation separately.
ADA defines a disability as any physical or mental impairment that limits one or more major life activity. To determine whether an employee falls under the law, you must consider the effects of any mitigating measure the person uses to reduce or eliminate those impairments, such as medication, eyeglasses, canes and hearing aids.
The deciding factor: whether the employee, even with the corrective treatment, is still substantially limited in one life activity. In some cases, for example, medication may partially, but not completely, control the employee's condition. Or it may introduce side effects.
That's why it's smart to treat every ADA claim on a case-by-case basis. Focus on the employee's ability to do the job after taking the corrective measures. While a court deemed the employee in the following case not to be disabled because her medication controlled her disease, you may not be so lucky. When in doubt, consult your employment attorney.
Recent case: An office worker sued her employer, alleging that it violated disability discrimination law by refusing to let her telecommute as a reasonable accommodation for hypertension. The employee claimed that working in the office made her high blood pressure worse. She acknowledged that medication helped control her condition while at the office.
The court sided with the company, saying the employee wasn't "disabled" because medication largely corrected her impairment and no other illnesses prevented her from working on site. (Coleman-Adebayo v. Leavitt, No. 03-2428, D.D.C., 2004)
Online resources: Whether a person has an official disability, the EEOC says, "is determined by taking into account the positive and negative effects of mitigating measures used by the individual." For more, see www.eeoc.gov/press/6-8-00.html and www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/902sum.html.

I am dog-sitting an excitable living mop this week. At first, I admit, I found little Oreo (Mr. O in some circles) to be a bit creepy. He would just peer at me from across the room with his black beady eyes shadowed by his hairdo/brow (most likely deliberating as to whether or not I was worthy enough to play catch with him and his precious sock collection). It wasn't until we became friends and I more closely inspected his face that I discovered his INTENSE BEAUTY.

Final Fantasy Legends II
this wiki
White Mage: Life's refreshing breeze, blow in energy! Cure! | |
This article can be improved in areas such as grammar, style, formatting, and spelling. Please refer to the Manual of Style or Editing Help to get started. |
Final Fantasy Legends II is an Android and iOS free-to-play game developed by Square Enix, and is the second game released with the "Final Fantasy Legends" title after Final Fantasy Dimensions, which was originally released in Japan under the title Final Fantasy Legends: Hikari to Yami no Senshi.
The game was initially launched on February 15, 2015 under the name Final Fantasy Legends: Toki no Suishō (ファイナルファンタジー レジェンズ 時空ノ水晶, Fainaru Fantajī Rejenzu Toki no Suishō?, lit. Final Fantasy Legends Crystal of Space-Time). It was announced on November 2, 2016 that the game would be undergoing a massive update that would rebrand the game under the name of Final Fantasy Legends II. The updated version replaced the original on November 10, 2016 in Japan.
The game revolves around a young man named Morrow and his companions as they travel through time and space in order to save the world from beings attacking the fabric of history.
Battle systemEdit
Battle encounters are presented in rounds that start once the player enters a battle zone on the world map. Once a player enters a zone, they will have to fight a barrage of enemies until they reach the end. Entering a battle zone cost stamina points (AP). Players can choose to escape a battle if they find themselves overwhelmed by the enemies, however, any loot obtained during the battle will be forfeit. The loot will also be forfeit if they lose the battle.
The game uses a turn-based battle system, similar to the Conditional Turn-Based Battles used in Final Fantasy X. Only a maximum of three party members can fight in battle, with the character Mootie taking up a support role. In battle, Mootie will never take damage from enemies since it cannot be targeted.
In battle, party member commands are present on a dual-sided command ring, one side with the character's normal battle abilities and the other for summon special attacks. This allows the three members to have up to five actions on each side; a regular physical attack in the ring's middle and four abilities from summon stones equipped to the party members before entering a battle zone.
In addition, each character has three consumption meters that can be filled in battle. Characters receive 20%-60% of a consumption meter point for each action they make and can use consumption meter points to summon their equipped phantom stones.
When summoning phantom stones via the consumption meter in battles, the character's turn is not wasted while doing so. However, every phantom stone can only be summoned once per battle. When they are summoned, they have the ability to either assist the party, attack or delay enemies.
Battles once ran on a chain meter to determine the amount of rewards a player could select from chests after completing a battle zone. The meter lost points for taking actions from both the party and enemies, but players could raise the meter with crystals that dropped in battle by defeating enemies or by using a summon's special attack. This chain meter could reach a maximum of 4. In a recent update chains and secret rewards were removed.
Now, upon completing a round, the player will be taken to the treasure menu where they can choose four out of seven randomized chests. Additional chests can be opened if the player spent 30 space-time stones on individual chests.
The "chain" icon was displayed if players defeated two monsters without interruption. When performing a chain kill, all monsters would reel in 0.2 crystals when defeated. However, the chain will disappear if the player let monsters use any skills or attacks.
During battle, there are two different icons in the top right corner of the game screen. The ">>" icon allows the player to double the game speed, and the "auto" icon allows the player to auto-play throughout the battle, and/or change abilities the characters are using if desired.
Summons play a pivotal role in a character's stats and abilities. Abilities may only be used when equipped with a certain phantom stone. In addition, character stats can only be increased by equipping weapons or accessories, or obtaining memory fragments and upgrading summon phantom stones.
Space-Time Stones (STS) are the main in-game currency used. It is given to players for free in events (Raid and Moogle coin events), storyline quests, daily rewards and missions. The in-game shop is split into two or more unique cash-shops that require different amounts of currency to use them.
Sometimes the game will give additional rewards for investing 3,000 stones on the cash shop. such as Babil points for use in Tower of Babil, Limit Drops, Pink Tails of the highest rank and so on.
Summons can be leveled and can be upgraded in rank after their phantom stone has reached the max level. Upgrading phantom stones require the player to have the summon fully leveled on its current rank. However, once a summon's phantom stone is upgraded in rank, they revert to level 1 again and must be leveled up once more. All phantom stones have a maximum rank of various stars, and the highest out of them is 8★.
Friend summonsEdit
Players are allowed to add other players to their in-game friends list. Player's are allowed to only have a total of fifty friends on their list. Using Mootie, players are also able to use and summon their friends' and other players' phantom stones while in battle.
Friends can give a percentage of their earned Yellow Vouchers for use in the Tower of Babil from time to time, which makes it easy for them to stack if one didn't spent them in the Tower over a period of time.
Mootie's stats are determined by the average Strength, Magic, Speed, HP and MP of the active party members in the battle.
AP functions as stamina in the game, which is required to complete quests and enter any area. A single point of AP will regenerate every three minutes. Most battles or events require 5-20 AP to participate in. Upon leveling up, the player's max AP may increase by one, and will be completely recovered. AP is not required when fighting through the main scenario events or the Raid events. There is no in-game way to recover AP other than waiting, or using AP vouchers residing in the player's storage. However, by spending 100 in-game currency, players are able to recover their lost AP.
Raid are community campaigns events, that require players to work together to defeat enemies. In these battles, players are given the opportunity to fight against powerful bosses. Players are able to obtain event limited phantom stones and rewards from participating in these events.
Missions are tasks that players can do in order to obtain various in-game items as rewards. Players may obtain limit droplets, space time stones and big tails to upgrade their phantom stones and finally Babil points for usage in Tower of Babil.

The soundtrack was composed by Naoshi Mizuta. The game's main theme is "Timeless Tomorrow" performed by Lia.
The game was originally announced on November 19, 2014 under the title of Final Fantasy Legends: Toki no Suishō. It was directed by Takashi Tokita, one of the three directors of Squaresoft's 1995 hit, Chrono Trigger. The game is described as a story based on "magic that goes beyond time [and that] the characters will time travel as part of their adventures." The general director, Takashi Tokita, said the game aims to invoke nostalgia of SNES titles, like Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, and Chrono Trigger.
After a year and a half of service, on October 28, 2016, a teaser site was created for a mobile game, containing a countdown clock to a newly-revealed announcement and a single piece artwork of Chronos drawn by Yoshitaka Amano. In addition, the site included a note from game director of Legends II, Takashi Tokita, stating: "Final Fantasy is about characters overflowing with personality, dramatic battles about anger and sorrow, and more than anything, fantasy, which we mustn't forget."
On November 2, 2016 the game was officially revealed to be Final Fantasy Legends II, which would not be a new game, but instead a rebranding of and massive update targeted to Final Fantasy Legends: Toki no Suishō. Despite the renaming, players could continue their progress from the original version of the game and play the game from where they last stopped. The original seven chapters would remain playable, but they would use updated graphics created for Legends II. Takashi continued, saying, "The series' previous title was Warriors of Light and Darkness, and while Space-Time Crystal followed that flow, Final Fantasy Dimensions II is a rebirth."
On November 10, 2016, the update for the game was released, renaming the game to Final Fantasy Legends II. The game replaced the original opening with a new opening containing a remixed version of Lia's "Timeless Tomorrow".
The game's character designs and illustrations are handled by CyDesignation, an art design firm founded and directed by former Square Enix artists Hideo Minaba, Ryosuke Aiba, Atsushi Kawasaki, and Akihiko Yoshida, many of whom did artwork for the game's phantom stones personally. In addition, much of the artwork for phantom stones are done by freelance internet artists including Kibannda Gohann, Sekishō, and Moryo.

I think that thoughtful people who disbelieve in free will recognize that this cannot be argued, but they can non-irrationally assume (or fear) that it is true nonetheless - and I think this is the real problem with this debate.
You cannot coherently argue that there is no free will, because in an universe where everything is determined by what went before, there is no such thing as an argument - I mean, the outcome of everything is predetermined by what went before, so what appears to be an argument is just more of the same cause and effect stuff.
To a determinist, the argument in favour of free will is a delusion just like they say that my intuition that I have free will is a delusion.
So, the belief that humans cannot really choose, but only believe that they can choose, is a belief that cannot be argued-for - not really.
However, it is possible to believe that the universe is totally determined, that there is no free will, no real choice, and that there are no such things as autonomy or agency whereby entities can be independent of the web of causality.
(Because that is what free will entails: it entails people are un-caused causes, un-moved movers - it entails that choice, action is not determined by what went before, but is autonomous from the preceding causes.)
So, a person may believe this, inside their heads as it were - believe that that is the way the universe is set-up; where everything that happens happens only because of what happened before; and that everything else (purpose, teleology, meaning, realtionships, knowledge...) are delusions which are themselves merely a consequence of the way things are set up.
This is, I think, the same phenomenon as relativism. The majority of Western 'educated' people nowadays are relativists - they explicitly repudiate moral values, absolute truth, objective beauty... but this cannot coherently be argued (because if 'everything is relative', then so is the claim that 'everything is relative).
Nonetheless, although determinism and relativism cannot be argued, they can be believed - more to the point - they can be feared to be true.
And I think this is the significance of these phenomena. People - en masse - indeed it is a defining feature of our current 'civilization' - fear that determinism is true (whatever they think about it), fear that relativism is true (whatever they think about it).
Our culture is in the grip of this fear. Our culture assumes that determinism and relativism are true - the assumptions are built-into public discourse.
But why?
Determinism and relativism are not things that people have inferred by logical reasoning - that makes no rational sense; nor discovered by scientific, historical or any other kind of empirical investigation - that makes no sense either.
(How could you 'discover' that the process of discovery was predetermined? Nonsense. How could you discover that science is relative?)
No - these things - determinism, relativism - cannot be inferred or discovered.
Neither are they natural or spontaneous beliefs: people are not born believing in relativism and determinism: quite the opposite! We are born spontaneously and naturally believing in absolute objectivity; and with a belief in our own free will, agency, ability to choose.
Everything suggests that they are planted by modern culture.
They are planted in the mind, they do not make logical or empirical sense - BUT they do cause fear, despondency, nihilism; because we fear they may be true yet we cannot prove to ourselves (or anybody else) that they are not true.
They do not make logical or scientific sense - but logic and science cannot get rid of them, because determinism and relativism destroys the validity of logic, and science lacks the capacity to influence metaphysics (science is within metaphysics - science cannot test metaphysical assumptions).
Determinism and relativism are ideas planted in the minds of Men by modern culture - as one might plant a cancer or an infection - and there they fester.
Once implanted they are hard to get rid of - people suspect, people fear, that these ideas may be true and they cannot prove they are not true.
So, there they sit, and grow and grow - destroying all purpose, meaning and relationship.
Ideas like determinism and relativism are a great way to destroy - wholesale.
They can destroy everything positive, everything good - including (eventually) all religions, ideologies, human relationships, possibilities for cohesive action.
They are a great way to make people afraid, depressed, despondent, anxious, unconfident, lazy, purposeless, directionless, short-termist and hedonistic, callous, self-indulgent and the rest of it.
Modern culture does this.
But why does modern culture do this?
Why would it be considered
desirable actively to plant such demoralizing ideas into people minds -to defend and propagate these ideas - ideas that tend to grow and destroy, while being irrefutable?
Why indeed?
It does not make human sense!
I infer, then, that these ideas are not humanly motivated but have been strategically promoted, pushed out from from behind the scenes, by supernatural purposive evil.
In other words, it seems that these are demonic ideas - ideas which are actually created and disseminated on the basis that they are intrinsically and deliberately destructive. Destruction is the whole point!
A culture which deliberately implants and celebrates ideas like determinism and relativism does not make human sense; but it does make Satanic sense.

LONDON, Ky., May 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Puissant Industries, Inc. (OTCBB:PSSS) ("Puissant" or the "Company"), an independent energy company currently focused on the natural gas and liquids rich portion of the Devonian shale play in Eastern Kentucky, today announced that based on an independent engineering report its proven natural gas and oil reserves at December 31, 2012 were 14.843 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas and .177 million barrels of oil, or 2.650 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) (1Bbl = 6 Mcf basis). The present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows before income taxes (PV-10) of the Company's total proved reserves at December 31, 2012 was $18.084 million. The December 31, 2012 PV-10 was determined using the 12-month unweighted average of the first-day-of-the- month oil and natural gas prices for 2012 of $94.71 per barrel of oil and $2.752 per million British thermal units (MMbtu), respectively adjusted for quality, energy content, and other expenses. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and generally differs from Standardized Measure, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it does not include the effects of income taxes on future net revenues. PV-10 is not an estimate of the fair market values of the properties. Puissant and others in the industry use PV-10 as a measure to compare the relative size and value of proved reserves held by companies and the potential return on investment related to the companies properties without regard to specific tax characteristics of such entities. This press release contains forward-looking statements. The words or phrases "would be," "will allow," "intends to," "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements."

The information contained in this press release should not be construed as an indication in any way whatsoever of the future value of the Company's common stock, the Company's future financial value or its financial condition. A summary of the engineering report upon which the above values are based, is contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2012. You should be aware that the SEC does not accept the above stated values to be included as assets on the Company's balance sheet.

Hello birds and blooms and tender green.
Spring is teasing north Texas. The early trees are blooming, but it is chilly today.
My creativity is fed by the longer days, the pale flowers and the promise of warmth.
I think I have become a jewelry maker. This is what I am drawn to the very most
these days. I am loving incorporating old and new, fibers and lace, wee collages
under glass and painted elements. My worktable is a collage itself... there are holy
cards, vintage beads, feathers, shells, fabric, jewels and on and on.
I am working on digital projects, as always. I am even scrapbooking a bit~ working
on a graduation book for my son and starting his US Navy scrapbook. Some of it is digital
and some traditional scrapbooking. It feels good to return to this after a long hiatus.
Hope spring is near for you also. ♥
