Resist the Collectivist View of History
by Roger Young
June 14, 2010
Exclusive to STR
After reading Anna Morgenstern's Memorial Day: Remembering the Dead, I was struck by a common (though understandable) error that even the most ardent anarchists and voluntaryists make. Though Anna's description and analysis of war gangsterism is dead on accurate, I find her views on the (misnamed) Civil War and WWII surprisingly statist.
I've come to believe that it is useful to not only analyze present day events from the point of view of a free born, sovereign, stateless, anti-collectivist individual, but also to scrutinize historical events from that same viewpoint.
Anna presents the case that the above mentioned wars may be two rare examples where US state-approved wars were justified as "fighting for its citizen's freedom." First off, I find it laughable that any state, an organization that maintains its power by physically and financially enslaving its subjects, can legitimately claim the moral stand of freeing anyone.

HAVE you ever thought about how old your drinking water is or where it came from? How would you figure out the answers to those questions if you wanted to know? If you had access to Lawrence Livermore's isotope tracing techniques, those questions might not be too difficult to answer.
Since the inception of the Laboratory, Livermore scientists have been studying both radioactive and stable isotopes. Support to the nuclear test program has given Livermore unparalleled nuclear chemistry expertise. This experience found an unexpected application when, after a decade of underground testing at the Nevada Test Site (NTS), the Laboratory began studying the movement of radioactive elements from those tests in groundwater.
Initially, conventional hydrogeologic characterization methods were used to learn about the aquifer beneath NTS. These studies look at data from well pumping tests to learn about the porosity, permeability, and other properties of the aquifer. The drawback to these conventional methods is that the natural heterogeneities in an aquifer are difficult to characterize without detailed geologic information. Additional data can be gathered only by drilling more wells. Drilling costs are particularly high in an arid region such as NTS where the water table is sometimes more than 600 meters (2,000 feet) below the surface. Moreover, the test site is enormous, encompassing over 3,600 square kilometers, which could necessitate hundreds of drilling sites.
Livermore scientists knew that determining the nature and extent of radionuclide contamination in groundwater at NTS was a complex project. To augment conventional hydrogeologic techniques for their groundwater studies, Livermore began using isotope tracers, which look directly at the groundwater itself rather than at the rock through which the water flows. These methods are described in the box below.
Isotope Hydrology at Livermore
Lawrence Livermore scientists use both stable and radioactive isotopes to learn about groundwater sources, ages, travel times, and flow paths and to determine the path and extent of contaminant movement in the water. The combination of Livermore's unique nuclear chemistry experience, multidisciplinary staff, and highly sensitive mass spectrometry equipment, including use of the Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, means that Livermore can take the measurements and interpret the results effectively. Livermore is unique among isotope hydrology centers in having all of the various tracing methods in one place. Researchers routinely use a variety of isotopes to evaluate a groundwater system and create the most accurate picture possible.
The Water's Origin
All waters have "fingerprints" of naturally occurring isotopes that provide information about their origin. Among the most powerful and cost-effective fingerprinting tools are the ratios of stable isotopes of hydrogen--deuterium to hydrogen (D/H)--and of oxygen-18 to oxygen-16 (18O/16O). For example, the D/H and 18O/16O ratios in precipitation vary according to elevation and distance from the ocean. An altitude difference of 250 meters (820 feet) produces a clear and measurable change in the two ratios, which is preserved once the precipitation infiltrates to the aquifer. While some mixing of waters in the aquifer is inevitable, an aquifer is typically not homogeneous. Layers of heavy clay retard the movement of groundwater within the aquifer and often serve to keep waters from different sources distinct from one another. Thus, scientists can use D/H and 18O/16O ratios to determine the recharge location for a groundwater and to discriminate among multiple water sources within an aquifer.
The concentrations of atmospherically derived noble gases (neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in groundwater provide another excellent fingerprinting tracer because the noble gases do not react with surrounding materials and because their concentrations are preserved as they are recharged into the aquifer. The relative abundances of the noble gases provide information about the temperature and altitude at the time of recharge. Isotopically enriched noble gases, which are commercially available at low cost, can also be used as nonhazardous artificial tracers. They are detectable at very low concentrations, rendering them highly effective for delineating groundwater flow systems.
The Water's Age
Naturally occurring radioactive isotopes provide information about a groundwater's age, which refers to the last time the water was in contact with the atmosphere. Once the recharge area has been established using isotope fingerprinting methods, radioisotopes may be used to estimate how long it took for a parcel of groundwater to travel from its recharge area to the measurement point. For young groundwaters, the best dating method is one that measures the relative abundance of tritium (3H) and helium-3 (3He). Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that decays to 3He with a half-life of 12.4 years. The amount of 3He from the decay of tritium is measured along with the amount of tritium remaining in the water. That sum is equal to the amount of tritium that was present at the time of recharge. The 3H-3He dating method is remarkably accurate for groundwaters up to 40 years old with an age resolution of plus or minus one year.
The ages of older groundwaters can be measured in several ways. One is by measuring the carbon-14 (14C) dissolved in the water. Carbon-14 decays at a known rate with a half-life of 5,730 years, providing a useful dating method for groundwaters less than 40,000 years old. Another method uses the isotope helium-4 (4He), which is produced continuously deep within the earth by the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium. Relative age relationships determined from the amount of 4He in a groundwater are a valuable supplement to 14C age determinations. The long-lived radionuclides chlorine-36 and iodine-129 are also being used to study very old regional groundwater flow systems.
Rock and Contaminants
Other isotopic and elemental measurements provide useful information about the interaction of water and its host rock or sediment or about the migration of contaminants in the water. For example, the isotopic composition of strontium (Sr) in groundwater depends on the 87Sr/86Sr ratios of the rocks with which it interacted. (Different rock types can have significantly different 87Sr/86Sr ratios.) In basins containing several aquifers with differing rock characteristics, the dissolved 87Sr/86Sr of a water sample may help distinguish where a particular groundwater resides.
Pollutants in groundwater can be studied in several ways. Measurements of nitrogen and oxygen isotope ratios (15N/14N and 18O/16O) can supply information about the source of nitrates, which are prevalent in agricultural fertilizers and may contaminate groundwater. Similar information about manmade pollutants can be gathered by measuring lead isotopes and heavy metal concentrations.
|Today, Dave Smith manages Livermore's work on radionuclide migration at NTS. (See Figure 1.) To better predict the possible transport of contaminants in groundwater, his team measures both stable isotopes (ratios of deuterium to hydrogen, oxygen-18 to oxygen-16, carbon-13 to carbon-12, strontium-87 to strontium-86, and noble gases) and radioactive isotopes (tritium, carbon-14, chlorine-36, and uranium isotopes) at more than a hundred springs and wells throughout southern Nevada. Recently obtained oxygen and hydrogen isotope data suggest that the regional aquifer underlying the test site is recharged from north of NTS rather than from the east as originally concluded from conventional hydrogeologic evidence alone. Carbon-14 age measurements indicate that the flow system is very heterogeneous, with highly variable flow rates. Exact flow rates are currently under investigation.
Some of the contaminants in the NTS groundwater, such as tritium and many products of nuclear fission, have short half-lives and may decay long before they leave the test site. But a few contaminants have longer half-lives, posing a potential threat as the groundwater migrates far from its source. Knowing the future location of contaminated groundwater is important information for water managers. When they can accurately predict where this groundwater will be, they can avoid using it.
A Water Management Tool
Having proved their mettle at the Nevada Test Site, isotope tracer methodologies have since been applied to a number of other water resource projects, which are under the direction of Laboratory scientists Bryant Hudson and Lee Davisson.
Orange County Water District
Orange County also brings in water from the Santa Ana River and sometimes from the Colorado River and recharges it to the subsurface. Santa Ana River water shows significant seasonal variations in the ratio of oxygen-18 to oxygen-16 (18O/16O), and Colorado River water has a different stable isotope signature altogether. In the fall of 1996, a batch of Colorado River water was spiked with a xenon tracer when it was introduced into the spreading ponds. From water samples taken at monitor wells down-gradient of the ponds (Figure 3), the distinctive 18O/16O signature and the noble gas tracer have allowed Livermore scientists to follow the migration of this water in the subsurface, with a time resolution of just a few days. These isotope data also provide a means of delineating groundwater mixing with an accuracy of ±10% for oxygen-18 and ±1% for xenon-124.
In another project, the Orange County Water District is injecting reclaimed wastewater into an array of wells that parallel the Pacific coastline. This "wall" forms a barrier to seawater that had begun to intrude into groundwater supplies and provides a significant source of drinking water as well. Livermore used 3H-3He ages of the injected water to demonstrate compliance with required regulations.
Contra Costa County
Livermore was also asked to study groundwater resources in the Brentwood region of Contra Costa County, California, which is undergoing rapid urbanization after decades of agricultural use. Declining water quality, particularly that caused by high nitrate concentrations, is the result of fertilizer application and extensive agricultural irrigation. Water samples from 80 different wells in the area were used to construct a contour map of groundwater 18O/16O ratios, shown in Figure 4. Two distinctive types of groundwater were observed, one corresponding to local rainfall and the other to irrigation water imported from the San Joaquin River. Most of the local groundwater recharge is from irrigation. In fact, Livermore's study revealed that only 6% of total annual recharge is from precipitation.
As urbanization in the Brentwood area increases, agricultural recharge will decrease, reducing total recharge to the aquifer. Figure 5 shows the relationship between population growth and the amount of groundwater that can be pumped out without exceeding recharge. It is clear from the graph that it will be difficult to meet future water demands in Brentwood using only local groundwater resources.
Groundwater Remediation
Isotope tracers are also playing a role in a groundwater remediation project at the Lawrence Livermore site. Hudson and Davisson's team is working with the Environmental Restoration Division and the Earth and Environmental Sciences Directorate, which are cleaning up fuel hydrocarbons that several decades ago had leaked from fuel storage tanks into the subsurface. Recently, steam was injected into the subsurface to stimulate recovery of the hydrocarbons.
Groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells farthest from the spill show relatively high carbon-14 (14C) and carbon-13 to carbon-12 (13C/12C) values, which are consistent with normal dissolved inorganic carbon levels in Livermore Valley groundwaters. In contrast, samples taken from within the spill have low 14C and 13C/12C values, as would be expected from the breakdown of petroleum products. These results indicate that fuel hydrocarbons are breaking down and provide a measure of how much breakdown has taken place.

On the Netflix release date of To the Bone, a raw depiction of anorexia portrayed by Lily Collins, I read an article online in Glamour Magazine that I initially agreed with titled, "What an Anorexia Survivor Thinks of Netflix's To the Bone."
Being that I too have a history of anorexia, the author of the article, Kate Leaver, and I shared certain concerns. She acknowledged something that is a disturbing fact and may not be widely known to the public. Many people who have eating disorders seek out resources to assist them with maintaining their illness or becoming "better at it." Some of those resources do include narratives. Those personal accounts and films such as To the Bone, can provide such tips. So can books, web sites and magazines readily available to people battling eating disorders who are determined to not get better.
When I was still a college student and living an anorexic lifestyle, I was unaware of this. Then, as someone who wanted to learn more about her illness, I attended a Tracey Gold reading in a Brooklyn Barnes and Noble of her memoir, Room to Grow: An Appetite for Life. The book was about her road to recovery. She read from the beginning chapter where she clearly stated how her goal was not to offer young women a manual on how to be sick. She wanted to help them. One thing she stressed was how being a size 0 means nothing in terms of being a happy, healthy person.
Afterwards, I told her I understood that sentiment and she looked at me, my tiny jeans falling off of my concave stomach, and then wrote in my copy of the book, "Baby Steps." It was her motto during her recovery. Remembering all of this, I was quick to agree with Kate Leaver that covering anorexia in film is a huge risk because of those triggers it might have for people who once were, or are currently are, in her and my past boat. I also didn't think it helped to cast someone as stunning and magnetic as Lily Collins who exudes all qualities of being cool effortlessly as the protagonist Ellen because she could possibly be viewed as the poster child for anorexia since she had lived through the experience of an eating disorder offscreen. I posted the Glamour article on Facebook, calling it "spot on."
Then I actually parked myself on my couch and watched the film. Instead of glorifying the idea of anorexia, or offending me by its realness, it made me realize how the past year and a half of therapy has assisted in healing some of my recurring issues related to the illness. I'm aware that I am only one person and that will not be the universal experience but unlike Kate Leaver and many others, I was grateful to To the Bone's writer, Marti Noxon and Lily Collins's accurate delivery of the anorexic mindset. Ellen is sad, angry and just so, so tired. She can't get past her illness enough to enjoy food, in some scenes pushing it around on her plate instead of eating; in another spitting it into her napkin after a quick taste. Rather than go into depth about subjects that trouble her, she makes pained statements regarding the girl who responded to her Tumblr artwork with suicide and fails to address other lurking issues such as her consistently absent father. She does excessive sit-ups when opportunity knocks and, especially each time something upsets her. She bails on her recovery at the group home and the people there who try to get too close to her. I didn't view her as "a heroine" something Kate Leaver posed as a legitimate possibility for sufferers and I don't think anyone who is really ready for or invested in their own recovery from anorexia would. Here is why.
Anorexia is for many of us, including Ellen, a defensive disease, a mask that permits lack of growth and advancing in life, often which is the biggest fear of the individual. There is that statement people toss around, "At least I have my health," because without it we cannot function. It is quite evident that none of the young women and the one young man portrayed in To the Bone, are functioning well in society and that their being in the group home is completely justified. Admittedly, I did not seek out real and consistent treatment until I was 35 years old and encourage anyone who needs to do so to stick with it, even on the bad days. Because one day, maybe they too can watch To the Bone and instead of thinking, "She's just like me," they might say, "She's like I was." Or if they are still suffering, it could prompt them to consider the notion, "I don't want to be that way anymore."
The first time I heard about To the Bone, I was jealous that Marti Noxon was able to create art out of her eating disorder experience and questioned where I would be career-wise if I had done so too. In 2015 a literary agent signed me for a contract to write a book after seeing an article online that I had written for the Rumpus, briefly touching on my eating disorder roots and the beginning of my own recovery.
Having an agent had been my dream since college when I began to pursue writing as a career and especially after earning an MFA in Fiction from The New School. I was slated to write a story collection on anorexia which was most certainly not my first choice. After all, I'd created a life for myself since that day fifteen years ago when I met Tracey Gold that had nothing to do with my illness. My initial thought was that I would write the book and then move on to other subjects.
I wrote the first fifty pages and felt something so heavy that I had to put the project away with the intention of returning to it. The protagonist I created was very different from me but in reality she wasn't. She was still sick and in some ways, so was I which was why I succeeded at creating such a realistic story, something I didn't even comprehend fully until I brought it into a writing workshop at Catapult with Sarah Gerard whose class I'd chosen in part because of her novel Binary Star that had an anorexic protagonist.
I thought being workshopped in a group with a teacher who already addressed the subject writing-wise would be great and her support of my work was as well as her input on something she'd directly experienced. One day she asked the class how our writing week was, as she kindly did each session, and I told everyone that my agent had terminated our contract because after a year and a half I still had not completed the book and she needed active clients. This came as a relief. I hadn't wanted anorexia to be the basis of my writing career or the word people associated me with. But I also now know that I hadn't fully confronted by then some of the unhealthy behaviors associated with anorexia that To the Bone does.
I love that Marti Noxon made certain choices, a major one being not to disclose the actual weight of the majority of the sick characters including Ellen, but still shows the angst associated with being weighed. If I'm being honest with myself as a means of control I have a safe weight that I don't like getting too far away from. I have finally acknowledged that in my therapy, alongside other things that allowed my illness to fester and emerge in troublesome times. The family session in the film was also on point; a group of people sitting in a circle arguing about their own issues, a toxic environment for Ellen that fails to contribute to her recovery.
We can't use our family problems as what another resident, Lucas, who befriends Ellen calls an "excuse" to remain sick but To the Bone takes the time to acknowledge that they don't help either. It also shows how much anorexia affects others.
"I don't get to have a sister," her sister Kelly says tearfully, acknowledging that important events in her own life had taken a backseat to Ellen's illness. It was a statement that brought clarity, I hope, to anyone watching the film thinking that the lifestyle of anorexia is something worth aspiring to or maintaining. Someone close to them misses them, the person they were or might have been. The person they still have the chance to become. Not the one who is starving, binging or purging but a whole human, something far away from Ellen's declaration,"I'm sorry. I'm not a person anymore. I'm a problem," which is hardly glamorous. The doctor in the film, Dr. Beckham, played by Keanu Reeves is the one who reminds the residents that they are "alive" and how "beautiful life can be" when he takes them on a field trip to see water art. He also says, "Bad things are going to happen. It's not negotiable; what is is how you deal with it" and other harsh truths Ellen needs to hear, even when the end result is her becoming pissed off.
In addition, each time Ellen's mother, Judy, reunites with her daughter, she is shattered. She can't bear to watch her daughter disappearing before her very eyes. I had an awful time at first with the intimacy of Judy feeding Ellen, later I realized because my mother would and did do anything she could to push me to get better. When To the Bone ended, Ellen's recovery was beginning again and I was grateful for being so far into mine. I called my mother and we talked about the film and my college graduation where I looked as gaunt as Ellen in my dress. We were so glad those days were over.

From Magic City Morning Star
Ed Feulner
Unless, that is, you dare to question the idea of manmade global warming. That, apparently, puts you beyond the pale. You can insist the 1969 Apollo moon landing was staged, or that 9/11 was an "inside job," and it's "live and let live" time. But disagree with the view that climate change is not only occurring but is caused by human activity, and you invite a stay in a rubber room.
Or a jail cell, to be more precise. That's what 20 academics at such prestigious universities as Columbia, Rutgers and the University of Washington have in mind for those who disagree on climate change. They recently wrote a letter to President Obama and Attorney General Loretta Lynch requesting that dissenters be criminally prosecuted.
How, you may ask? They actually want the government to target climate-change skeptics with the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. That's right. They want to cap the critics with a law created specifically to go after organized crime. Their opponents are no better than drug cartels and the Mafia, apparently.
And why? Because, they claim, the skeptics have "knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change." It's their contention that certain companies and industries know that their activities are causing global warming, but are determined to cover it up because it would hurt them financially.
And you know what? They're welcome to hold that point of view. My question is, if these academics are so certain they have the truth on their side, why are they so concerned about the views of dissenters? Oh, the dissenters slow progress in addressing the problem, the academics reply:
"It is imperative that these misdeeds be stopped as soon as possible, so that America and the world can get on with the critically important business of finding effective ways to restabilize the Earth's climate, before even more lasting damage is done."
So nothing can be done until the entire planet is united in a full-throated chorus of kumbayas, crying out to stop the scourge of manmade global warming? Interesting. Because I'm pretty sure history shows that such unanimity has never occurred on any major issue -- and somehow people still get things done.
In reality, of course, these academics simply can't abide having anyone disagree with them. So ... away with the skeptics. Make them disappear.
So fierce is their righteous indignation at those who commit environmental heresy that it's blinded them to the fact that their proposal clearly infringes on the free-speech rights of others. And what irony: If anyone should be fostering a free exchange of ideas, it's those who work at our nation's universities. Instead, they're leading the charge against debate.
Just ask Philippe Verdier, who for many years was France's chief weatherman. His nightly forecasts have been a national institution. But Philippe isn't on the job anymore. He was dismissed after he wrote in a book that climatologists have "taken the world hostage" with misleading data.
"We are hostage to a planetary scandal over climate change -- a war machine whose aim is to keep us in fear," he writes.
Whatever the aims of the climate-change crowd, it's obvious that they will not tolerate dissent. The academics who wrote the president insist that "an overwhelming majority of climate scientists are convinced about the potentially serious adverse effects of human-induced climate change on human health, agriculture, and biodiversity."
They're wrong about their numbers (many climate scientists disagree with them), but surely they believe it. If so, why worry? If they enjoy an "overwhelming majority," why urge the president to prosecute the tiny fringe that opposes them?
Whatever the reason, prosecution is not the answer. If you can't stand the heat in the debate room, don't try and bar the doors to others.

Rockstar Braces for GTA IV BacklashThe GTA series has seen several often controversial entries, but Rockstar Games VP Dan Houser thinks critics of the games industry still havent gotten over the crime-centric premise of the franchise.
"I expect it because weve had so much of it in the past," said Houser following a recent press demo. "I wish people would treat videogames the same as other media. They seem to not want to do that for reasons that I dont understand. Its a convenient enemy for people."
Adult-targeted games continue to be the focus of legislators, pundits, pop psychologists and other critics. Most recently, BioWare's Mass Effect was targeted on Fox News for its PG-13 alien love scene.
GTA IV could draw even more attention than previous iterations of the series (well, maybe not more than GTA: San Andreas and the Hot Coffee fiasco) because Rockstar opted to make the game less cartoony and more realistic.
"If the graphics are slightly cartoony, we make sure the writing is slightly cartoony to match that," said Houser. "Obviously, the graphics have gone closer to realism, so we wanted everything else to be closer to realism as well."
It's not difficult to imagine that there will be backlash towards the next game in the multi-million-dollar GTA franchise, but the degree of that backlash is still totally up in the air.

Love this move by Google. Jackie Robinson would've been 94 years old today.
I tend to geek out on uniforms and baseball history, so humor me for a moment, if you will. The casual observer may not have noticed it, but Google definitely didn't check with MLB about doing this. Notice how there's no logo on his cap? Notice how you can only see his number and no lettering on the jersey? The word Google, well Go(Jackie)gle, is written in Dodgers script, but there's no Dodgers logo to be found.
Now, you might be wondering about the number. In 1947, when Jackie came into the Bigs, the Dodgers didn't have numbers on the front of their jerseys. In fact, front uniform numbers didn't show up until 1952, and the Brooklyn Dodgers were the first to do it. Sadly, Google Doodle did mess up on the color of the number. As you can see above, once the numbers did show up, they were red. Oh well, no biggie. Okay, I'm done dissecting… awesome job, Google.
Happy Birthday, Jackie.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada unexpectedly shed 9,400 jobs in June and the unemployment rate rose to 7.1 percent from May's 7.0 percent, underlining how employment growth has stalled despite a recovery in the United States.
Statistics Canada said on Friday that the year-over year gain was just 72,300 jobs, or 0.4 percent, the lowest annual growth rate since the 0.4 percent recorded in February 2010.
Analysts surveyed by Reuters had expected a gain of 20,000 jobs in June.
"If you take the moving average for the first half of this year, it suggests very minimal job growth so far in Canada, so it has been a bit disappointing," said Paul Ferley, assistant chief economist at the Royal Bank of Canada.
Market operators expect worries about soft economic growth will keep the Bank of Canada from hiking interest rates until late next year, a Reuters poll found on Thursday.
The bank's next scheduled interest rate announcement is on Wednesday, when it will also issue its quarterly monetary policy report.
The central bank has kept its key interest rate at a near record low 1.0 percent since September 2010 and says it will not contemplate an increase until inflation picks up and the economy absorbs more excess capacity.
"It means the Bank of Canada will continue to ignore the recent upturn in inflation and focus on an economy that is yet to kick into higher gear," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.
The economy created 33,500 full-time jobs in June but lost 43,000 part-time positions. Employment fell in manufacturing and business, building and other support services, while more people found jobs in construction.
The six-month moving average for employment growth jumped to 8,800 from 3,000 in May, when the figure included a net loss of 44,000 jobs in December 2013.
Commenting on the June report, Finance Minister Joe Oliver said jobs numbers are variable, noting that in May there had been an increase in part-time jobs.
"We expect that kind of monthly variation, but we believe the economy is strong. We have created over 1 million jobs since the recession," he told reporters in Toronto.
The Canadian dollar weakened against the greenback, dropping to C$1.0686, or 93.58 U.S. cents, down from Thursday's close of C$1.0647, or 93.92 U.S. cents.
The unimpressive jobs data followed recent reports suggesting the economy might be gaining strength.
Inflation in May hit a 27-month high of 2.3 percent, above the Bank of Canada's 2.0 percent target, while rising exports almost wiped out Canada's trade deficit the same month.
Retail sales in April jumped by 1.1 percent to a record high while wholesale sales that month advanced by 1.2 percent, twice as fast as expected.

1. Identify the issue.
2. Determine whether a regular or typical solution to the problem exists.
3. If one does, you're done. If no, map out everything that went into creating the issue. In this aspect, be expansive. Include everything possible.
4. Once you start mapping out the issue more completely, start looking for ways to address the situation in one of the more outlying areas that was not considered previously.
5. Never dismiss a possible solution on the basis, "It simply cannot be done." Consider everything. Go through every possibility until you know for a fact it can or cannot be done.
Teach yourself to look at problems more expansively. Never be dismissive of a potential solution before you have thoroughly thought it through. In thinking outside the box we began looking at how did the opponent acquire their trademark rights they are now asserting against us?
'Think outside the box' is one of the biggest creativity cliches. The basic idea is that to be creative you need to challenge your own assumptions and look at things from a fresh angle. You need to break out of conventional thinking and take off the blinkers formed by past experience.
Opportunities are out there for young entrepreneurs and Y.E.S. is a great way to create discussion with those just starting out as well as others who've turned ideas into reality. "Anything can happen but if you really want to put your mind to it and see change happen it has to start with you."

It's been a long time since I wrote up on my blog. A year has passed and nothing new has happened into my life. For now I want to share my trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I've always heard on the news the negatives headlines about Rio like shootings, stray Bullets, thefts, armed robbery and killings. Despite of these news, I decided to visit one of the most the famous city in the world.
I traveled by bus from my city to Rio. The travel last about 11 hours including the long time spent in the halts and a flat tire along the way. The route followed by the bus it took us to dirty and deteriorated places very different from the postcards, but it was a worthwhile trip. After arriving at the bus terminal in Rio, the scenery changed completely. I took the modern VLT that crosses the city through the restored harbor area. I got off at Cinelândia and from there I embarked in a metro to Copacabana beach. I stayed in a hotel 3 minutes from the beach thanks to my friend Juliana, a travel lover and also a backacker. I had great days there and also my point of view about the city had changed a lot. The Public transportation system is organized and also the mobility apps work very well with affordable prices to visit the sightseeings. The city is lively and full of restaurants and pubs that serve delicious foods and snacks. I recommend to use the mobility apps to visit the city because the drivers usually know all streets and alleys of the city.
Despite all of the problems faced like any other big city in Brazil as homeless people, high rates of crimes, garbages on the streets and on the beaches, the landscapes and the beaches are really beautiful.

'Merry Christmas' vs. 'Happy Holidays' — a Look at the Numbers
You might not know it, but the phrase "Merry Christmas" is getting more popular, and it completely dwarfs the use of "Happy Holidays" — at least by one measure.
Your Digits blogger has been playing with Google's Books Ngram Viewer, a tool released last week that lets you search the tech giant's database of words from more than 5 million books. According to these books, the phrase "Merry Christmas" is a far more important part of our literary culture than "Happy Holidays." By a large margin. We're talking 17-to-1, here.
And authors have been writing "Merry Christmas" more of late. In 2008, the latest year for which Google has data — and coincidentally the year in which the Journal's opinion writers proclaimed that Christmas had lost the "war on Christmas" — the phrase was used more than ever.

I have had this Prettia package since early June but opted to wait for August to dye my hair since I just had my hair dyed in my favorite Korean Salon. I have read a lot abut Prettia and it is really intriguing. I've read about this product in soompi. The part in which I can actually save money from dyeing my hair really gave me the urge to try it. For the record, I'm paying PHP1800 for my hair to be dyed twice in one year while if I use Prettia, I only get to pay 1400 for two boxes.
I was lucky enough to find a Philippine based seller on multiply and got the packages on a pre-order basis. I got one in Glossy Brown and one in Bitter Apricot. My sister suggested that I should try the Glossy Brown first so that if turns out to be an epic fail, I can still cover it with a darker shade.
I wanted something like this which I thought resembles the color in Bitter Apricot
but instead listened to my sister's advice to try the lighter shade first
To start with, here a photo of my hair. As you can see, the reddish-brown color is at tips of my hair and my hair has grown 4-5 inches since I dyed it last February.
I have watched videos and read instructions online on how to do it but I asked the helo of my sister so that I can apply it evenly on my hair.
|Prettia in Glossy Brown
|the box is composed of two bottles, a sachet, rubber gloves and a special dispenser for the bubbles
|of course, it includes an instruction pamphlet but unfortunately I don't understand Japanese
|Step 1 Mix bottle one in bottle two
|Voila! It should like this after the shake
I was kinda worried what if we squeeze and squeeze and no bubbles come out? I've read that this product is a "no-mess" but beware, this ink-like color does stain. It stained my towel. The good thing is that the stain can be easily washed off. I had a momentary panic when it stained a portion on our white bathroom counter. If my mom was going to see it she'd have a fit but fortunately, it can be easily wiped off with water.
|Step 2 Magic Begins squeeze the bottle and bubbles come out
My sister and I parted my hair into 3 sections only because I have fine hair so it would be easy to spread out the product evenly. Sorry, don't have pictures on that because I was also helping out my sister in spreading the product onto my hair-four hands got busy.
|Step 3 Wait for 45 Minutes
I wrapped my hair in a shower cap. It says that you have to leave it on for 45 minutes but I kinda got hooked watching Americas Top Model that I think I left in on for about an hour. It does feel hot already so I showered it off and shampooed my hair.
|Finish Product
|The color is more prominent on the roots
It still does blend nicely over-all. I really love the effect and would really buy another box. I'm gonna post pictures after a week because they say, it would lighten up more after a few days. The last step would be to put on the conditioner that comes with the package.
It's been 2 days now since I dyed my hair and my hair did not dry out. I haven't really finished the entire bottle because I kinda felt a bit nauseous because of the smell. All in all, I'm gonna buy and use this product again.
PS: We're wearing PJs in these pics sorry if it was an eyesore. I'm not really strict about my pictures but please credit my blog is use this. Thanks

Career highlights and awards
Alan Thomas "Al" Hrabosky (; born July 21, 1949) is a former Major League Baseball player from 1970-1982 for the St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals and Atlanta Braves and is currently the color commentator on Cardinals regular season broadcasts on FSN Midwest. He also owns Al Hrabosky's Ballpark Saloon, which is located right across the street from Busch Stadium.
Hrabosky's nickname is The Mad Hungarian because of his unusual last name and colorful character.[2]

- Broadcasting career 2

Playing career
Hrabosky played at Savanna High School[3] in Anaheim, California and was originally drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 11th round of the 1967 amateur draft, but did not sign with the club. Two years later the Cardinals made him their first round choice. Within a year, at the age of 20, he made his major league debut, pitching a scoreless inning against the San Diego Padres.
During his time with the Cardinals, Hrabosky became a fan favorite for his antics on the mound. Between each pitch he would turn his back to the batter, walk towards second base, vigorously rub the ball between his palms several times, take a deep breath, and pound the ball into his mitt. He would then storm back to the mound, staring down the batter. Although the crowd would roar in delight, most batters were not fond of the pitcher's routine.
Arguably, Hrabosky's best year was 1975 when he led the National League in saves with 22 (a career best) en route to winning the Sporting News "NL Fireman of the Year" award. After eight seasons in St. Louis, the Cardinals traded Hrabosky to the Kansas City Royals in a swap of closers for Mark Littell. Following just two years with the Royals, he was released and signed with the Atlanta Braves. During his time with the Braves he saw diminished playing time and recorded just seven saves over three seasons. Hrabosky signed with the Chicago White Sox during Spring Training in 1983 but retired before the season began. In 13 seasons he recorded 64 wins, 35 losses, and 97 saves with an ERA of 3.10.
Early in his career with the Cardinals, Hrabosky enhanced his menacing appearance with long hair, and a Fu Manchu moustache. However, when Vern Rapp became the Cardinals manager in 1977, Hrabosky had to cut his hair and shave the moustache.
Perhaps Hrabosky's most memorable performance came during an Johnny Bench, and Bob Bailey. The Cardinals went on to win 6-5 on a Ted Simmons home run in the 10th inning.[4]
Broadcasting career
Following his playing career, he has provided color commentary for Cardinals games since 1985 and has been with Fox Sports Midwest since 1997. Hrabosky also hosted his own radio show on KFNS 590AM in St. Louis. With a reshuffling of duties for 2011, he will lose about 20 games, in working 100 games out of the 150 broadcast by FSM.[5] He also serves as an occasional fill-in analyst on the Cardinals Radio Network.

sensory deprivation(redirected from Deprivation, sensory)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus.
loss or absence of parts, organs, powers, or things that are needed.
emotional deprivation deprivation of adequate and appropriate interpersonal or environmental experience, usually in the early developmental years.
maternal deprivation the result of premature loss or absence of the mother or of lack of proper mothering; see also maternal deprivation syndrome.
sensory deprivation a condition in which an individual receives less than normal sensory input. It can be caused by physiological, motor, or environmental disruptions. Effects include boredom, irritability, difficulty in concentrating, confusion, and inaccurate perception of sensory stimuli. Auditory and visual hallucinations and disorientation in time and place indicate perceptual distortions due to sensory deprivation. Symptoms can be produced by solitary confinement, loss of sight or hearing, paralysis, and even by ordinary hospital bed rest.
sleep deprivation a nursing diagnosis accepted by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, defined as prolonged periods of time without sleep (sustained, natural, periodic suspension of relative consciousness).
thought deprivation blocking (def. 2).
sen·so·ry dep·ri·va·tion
diminution or absence of usual external stimuli or perceptual experiences, commonly resulting in psychological distress and aberrant functioning if continued too long.
sensory deprivation
Deprivation of external sensory stimulation, as by prolonged isolation.
sensory deprivation
Etymology: L, sentire + ME, depriven, to deprive; L, atio, process
an involuntary loss of physical awareness caused by detachment from external sensory stimuli. Such deprivation often results in psychological disorders, such as panic, mental confusion, depression, and hallucinations. Sensory deprivation may be associated with various handicaps and conditions, such as blindness, heavy sedation, and prolonged isolation.
sensory deprivationPseudomedicine
The elimination of virtually all external auditory, sensory and visual stimuli, which can be accomplished by immersing oneself in luke-warm water in a flotation tank, or in an isolation (dry) chamber. Advocates of this form of pseudotherapy believe it to be useful for increasing self-awareness; it is also used by those who wish to enhance the intensity of meditation.
sen·so·ry dep·ri·va·tion(sen'sŏr-ē dep'ri-vā'shŭn)
Diminution or absence of usual external stimuli or perceptual experiences, commonly resulting in psychological distress and aberrant functioning if continued too long.
sensory deprivationThe effecting of a major reduction in incoming sensory information. Sensory deprivation is damaging because the body depends for its normal functioning on constant stimulation. Sensory deprivation early in life is the most damaging of all and can lead to severe retardation and permanent malfunctioning of the deprived modality.
Sensory deprivation
A situation where an individual finds himself in an environment without sensory cues. Also, (used here) the act of shutting one's senses off to outside sensory stimuli to achieve hallucinatory experiences and/or to observe the psychological results.
Mentioned in: Hallucinations
deprivation, sensory
The condition produced by a loss of all or most of the stimulation from the visual, auditory, tactile and other sensory systems. Often, deprivation involves only one modality (e.g. vision). Methods used for deprivation include diffusing goggles, white noise, padded gloves, etc. Its effect has shown the necessity of continuous sensory activity to maintain the normal development and functioning of any sensory system.

Yuketen Joseph are entirely handcut and benchmade in Mexico onto 1930's American semi-modified lasts for the ideal union of comfort and style. The semi-modified lasts the shoes' are built upon were originally designed to stop the wearer from over-pronating, helping them to correct their gait and develop a better, healthier walking motion. As such, the modified lasts provide exceptional arch support to the structure of the foot.
These shoes are crafted from soft and supple cow suede upper lined with soft-tanned cow leather for added comfort and durability. An equally fundamental component of this style is the sturdy foundation that is constructed of multiple layers of hand-shaved 100% veg-tan leather that ensures conformity to the shape of the wearer's foot for long-term comfort. Forepart of the insoles are hand-sanded as it helps to absorb the moisture from the feet and keeps them dry.
Yuketen's meticulous Goodyear stitches are made by a sturdy 1910 German-made welt stitcher. Veg-tan leather insoles ensure conformity to the shape of the wearer's foot for long-term comfort. Made from 100% natural rubber crepe sole provides superior shock absorption and an incredibly soft and slip-resistant tread.
These remarkable features mark a new direction for Yuketen's design aesthetic verging toward formal elegance while simultaneously maintaining all core principles and construction techniques for highest-quality handmade products.
WARNING: It is important to avoid contact with any petroleum based products as this may cause the natural crepe outsole to dissolve.
- Goodyear-welt construction
- Bench made, hand lasted
- Steel shank reinforcement

Institute of Heraldry [Military Insignia, Coats of Arms and More]
Institute of Heraldry – http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/default.aspx
Representative questions that can be answered with this resource:
- How can a Legion of Merit be recognized?
- What does the service medal for the US Kosovo Campaign look like?
- How can an Army unit get its own insignia?
This is THE source for most military and government decorations, coats of arms and more. You'll come here if you describe what your soldiers wear or what symbol your sailors sail under. From the website:
The Institute of Heraldry has a long and distinguished record of support to the United States Army. Its roots were firmly planted in 1919 when President Woodrow Wilson directed the creation of the Heraldic Program Office under the War Department General Staff. Its purpose was to take responsibility for the coordination and approval of coats of arms and other insignia for Army organizations. By the end of World War II, its role expanded to include the other military services. In 1957 Public Law 85-263 directed the Secretary of the Army to furnish heraldic services to all branches of the federal government. The Institute's wide range of heraldic services include decorations, flags, streamers, agency seals, coats of arms, badges, and other forms of official emblems and insignia.
The site is currently divided into the following sections:
- Uniformed Services – Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, PHS Officer Corps, NOAA Officer Corps
- Decorations & Medals – Military, Civilian
- Federal Government – Presidential, Vice-Presidential seals and items from the Director of National Intelligence.
- ROTC – ROTC Regulations, Sr. ROTC, and Jr ROTC
If you have sailors in your story, you'll want to visit the U.S. Naval Ships Coat of Arms section of the site under the Navy. Each Coats of Arms page has a description of the Coat of Arms Elements and a discussion of the symbolism on the Coats of arms, as well as an image of the Coats of Arms themselves.
The FAQ section is worth visiting as well. It is divided into US Flag Etiquette; Army Flags, Guidons, Etc; Organizational Insignia; Insignia and Decorations; and general information.
If you want to use any of the current badges, insignia, decorations and medals in your book, you will need to have written permission from the Institute per their image use policy:
PLEASE NOTE: The images of all badges, insignia, decorations and medals on this web site are protected by Title 18, United States Code, Section 704 and the Code of Federal Regulations (32 CFR, Part 507). Permission to use these images for commercial purposes must be obtained from The Institute of Heraldry prior to their use.
This actually isn't copyright law. It's law dealing specifically about military decorations. Look up 18 USC 704 for yourself at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2010-title18/pdf/USCODE-2010-title18-partI-chap33-sec704.pdf .

Well, temporarily at least… things changed a little with last month's news that the owners of Buckmore Park had decided to close BPKC and dedicate the track to the much more profitable corporate karting. It wasn't a complete surprise. Entry numbers had been down for some time which was also not surprising considering that MSA race weekends weren't actually dedicated to MSA racing; I had never seen racing finish at 3pm on a Sunday and the corporate karts roll out onto track before as witnessed on our own visit in April. It did make me wonder why we hadn't been given more track time and, assuming this was a regular occurrence, what the locals made of it. It was never something that would encourage drivers to the track. It is very sad for the people behind the club who had been very welcoming towards us when we visited on the opening round of the ill-fated Southern Tour. It meant the final two club rounds of the year presented us with a final opportunity to race at the track.
A poll on the TKM group suggested there was a healthy appetite to visit in December. More fool me for believing it but we will have a reasonable grid of 8-10 drivers for this coming weekend. The numbers aren't actually that important – we just want to visit our favourite track for one final time and, if we can finish three heats and a final, that would be a bonus!
Preparing the kart in the freezing temperatures yesterday did make me wonder what the hell I was thinking when I put our entry in! Hopefully we'll have a little more luck than the people that trekked to Kimbolton for Saturday practice before getting sent home ahead the snow. It's been a long time since we did any winter racing and I had forgotten what it felt like trying to tighten things when you cannot feel your fingers. Hopefully the weather is obliging 🙂
Today was the last time I would be having to sift through tyres to find something that we can a) race on and b) practice on. Next year I won't have to swap slicks at all – we'll have one practice set and one race set. Have I already mentioned that our tyre budget for next year will be £260? 😉

Juliana Laury Photography | Chester County, Lehigh Valley, and Montgomery County Wedding Photographer
I photographed their wedding two years ago. We became best friends. They bought a house. They gutted it and showed me how it looked with no ceilings or floors. That was a year ago. They finally changed their address, and I couldn't be more proud of them. Here are some pictures of Allie and Seb in their pajamas on their day off together.

High School Sports
Top-ranked Rainier Beach boys to face No. 2 Bellevue in opening round at Tacoma Dome
The gasps coming out of Washington Interscholastic Activities Association headquarters Sunday afternoon came from dumbfounded high school basketball coaches.
From those not directly affected by the news of the day:
Top-ranked and defending Class 3A boys champion Rainier Beach (23-3) will play No. 2 Bellevue (23-3) in the opening round of the state tournament Thursday in the Tacoma Dome — a development that got a rise out of everybody at the WIAA state draw.
That marquee matchup also got the prime-time slot — 7:15 p.m.
Neither coach seemed thrilled by that draw. Bellevue coach Chris O'Connor curled his lip and quietly ducked out afterward. Rainier Beach Mike Bethea stuck around a little while longer, mainly to talk to media.
"Just no advantage of being a true No. 1 (seed)," Bethea said. "Bottom line, you've got to play the game."
Bethea has hardly been one to get bent out of shape by controversial sideshows. It is a lesson he learned early in his coaching career from the all-time winningest coach in state history — retired Mercer Island coach Ed Pepple.
It came at the 1998 WIAA draw. The Vikings were placed in the same side of the draw at Mount Vernon, something that irked Bethea.
Sensing frustration, Pepple advised Bethea not to worry about how the brackets broke.
"He said, 'You've got to play them all anyway, so line them up and let's go. And if it's meant to be, you're going to win,' " Bethea said.
"That was a little lesson from Ed."
Rainier Beach and Bellevue played for the Sea-King District title nearly a week ago — won by the Vikings, 70-56.
Other developments:
The Bellarmine Prep girls got a tough first-round opponent — third-ranked Inglemoor.
And the No. 1 Federal Way boys certainly got the challenging half of the bracket with No. 2 Union and No. 4 Issaquah.
"You've got to play them all at some point," Bellarmine Prep coach Kevin Meines said. "(Our) 3:45 game time is not the optimum time, but once you get to this stage of the tournament, you are just not going to get an easy draw."
The Federal Way boys open with Moses Lake. Eagles coach Jerome Collins said he knew nothing about the Chiefs.
"We have been tracking scores," Collins said. "I tell our guys, we have to come prepared to play our brand of ball."
If top-ranked Gonzaga Prep girls, the reigning 4A champions, and No. 2 Beamer win their quarterfinal games, those two schools would see each other in the semifinals Friday.
The Bullpups meet Bothell at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, followed by the Beamer-Walla Walla nightcap at 9.
"This whole season, we've talked about one game at a time," Beamer coach Corey Alexander said. "We have to take care of business Thursday."
At least coach Michelle Birge will have no shortage of inspiration to provide to her Wilson High girls this week.
They get the first crack at defending 3A champion Cleveland. The two teams tangle in the state quarterfinals at 9 a.m. Thursday.
"We understood who are matchups could be," Birge said.
The Rams are 0-4 all-time against Cleveland under Birge. But this is a different Eagles team than in years past.
For starters, longtime coach Stephenie Wheeler-Smith left to become the director of basketball operations at the University of Oregon. Former University of Washington star Jamie Redd was hired to replace her.
Cleveland still has athletes all over the court, led by blazing point guard Jayde Christopher, who has signed with Kansas.
"They are still adjusting to a new coach, and obviously they've had players stepping into new roles," Birge said. "But they've got two quality kids who have been there (in Christopher and Joyce Harrell). I fully expect they will come out and play hard."
On Sunday, Fife boys coach Mark Schelbert celebrated the one-year anniversary of something he will never forget.
Last year at this time, he was stationed in a hospital with star point guard Austin Woods, who suffered a gruesome arm injury that required three surgeries in a regional-round loss to Anacortes.
But on Saturday, Woods tallied 29 points as the Trojans upended Southwest District champion Tumwater to earn their first state quarterfinal trip since 2010. They will play top-ranked Clarkston in a Thursday opener at the SunDome in Yakima.
"For him to be a main factor in the win to get us here, I could not be happier for him," Schelbert said.
Since then, Woods has also battled knee and foot injuries.
"He has been dealing with a lot of emotional aspects of this whole thing, and internalizing a lot of things," Schelbert said. "In the (Tumwater) game, he was able to let some of that go … in a positive way."
On the girls side, the one school White River coach Chris Gibson kept saying out loud he did not want to face is the one that came up on the draw Sunday — top-ranked Mark Morris.
The No. 4 Hornets have been badly beaten by Mark Morris three times over the past two seasons — including an 80-60 loss in the 2A quarterfinals last season.
"Well, we'll still start the bus, and we'll have a parade downtown," Gibson said. "The goal is to get a trophy over there, and that doesn't change for us."
On paper, the Cascade Christian girls (1A in Yakima) and Life Christian boys (2B in Spokane) both have manageable first-round matchups.
Cascade Christian plays Zillah, while Life Christian meets up with Liberty of Spangle. Both games are at 12:15 p.m. Thursday.
Eagles coach Mark Lovelady said the one school he did not have film on was Liberty, but knew they featured a big lineup.
"I would rather play against a team with size … than one with a couple of guards who attack the rim," Lovelady said. "It is a great matchup for us."

Annnnd hello exiles, Welcome to the good builds of the uncle Zelk Today I'll show you my little ranger, my little tornado shot ranger, to introduce you to another build which recquires few things and easy to understand To progress easily or to begin Path of Exile Here you can see my little hideout, still in progress, ain't perfect yet, but it's mine 😀 We're going to tp to the docks, cause this build is still in progress To show you the gameplay, the various mechanics, the gems and the skilltree So for this build, you need a good little ranger With a bow, some defensives items And for the skillgems, you need, Tornado shot.
Tornado shot is a spell, that will fire one arrow at your mouse cursor And this arrow as you can see will explode then fire 3 more arrows With tornado shot, we'll link weapon ele damage, or you can put added fire damage or else, in a matter of taste Lesser multiplier projectile, to shoot 3 arrows instead of one And the most important, Pierce. The first arrow I shot will allways pierce the first ennemies You need to know that the seconds arrow (in the explosion) does not pierce by default So by adding pierce, we'll have a clearspeed pretty insane With this, we're using mirror arrow, which spawn a clone of yourself, can be used as a decoy And blink arrow, used to tp yourself 2 of the new skills for the ranger, which are really usefull Allright, so now for the items, we got a pretty low gear, nothing really interessting.
A low unique quiver, had nothing better All you need is Evasion, resistances The Wurm's Molt is used for the life leech and mana leech, to sustain yourself and your spells For the auras, we're running Hatred, for the damage boost, 32% more damages And herald of ash, to gain 15% more damages So, 47% more elemental damages, that's why I put weapon elemental damages Now I'll show you how the build is played All you need, is aiming, and oneshoot packs As you can see, it does a lot of damages, woops, volatile flameblood Right now, i'm just at the level of the docks and you can see that my clearspeed is pretty damn good Right know my bow got a slow AS, which is shamefull, but it's the only thing I found untill now In my taste, the build isn't great without a lot of AS, once you got some more, it turns into a war machine Ok, so that's it for the gameplay Gonna tp in town, to show you the skilltree Allright, so , for the skilltree You need to know that the best way to protect a ranger is the evasion When you get *hit* ,the server will calculate if you evade it You can see on my character that I have 47% chance to evade damages You also need to know, that evasion protect you against reflect Normally when you hit a reflect pack of mobs, they reflect you some of the damages you do, But here, you have a chance to evade these damages, So for the start, we're taking evasion and life, Finesse, Heart of Oak for the life, and the chance to avoid being stun.
Because the stunlock can easily mean death Once it's done, we're getting there to take the life,Thickskin, next we're getting Ondar's guile Doubles your chance to evade projectile attacks So, since you're using projectiles damages, my 47%evade are multiplied by 2 And the cap being at 90%, i'm pretty immune to reflect SO i have only 10% chance to get hit, which never happen Next, we're taking the critical strike chances, since reflect isn't a problem, we can take a lot of crits Next, we're taking king of the hills, crits and knockback ennemies you crit It means that ennemies will never get to you, a good way of defenses The more crit you have, the less the ennemies will come close, if they have low life, you kill them instant, if they have lot, they get knockbacked Once it's done, to resolv the mana problems early on, we're getting revely Mana gained on killing blow, 5 mana, 10 mana, then 20 mana and in top of that, we have 2 mana gained on each ennemies hit And since we're using tornado shot, we have 3 arrow, multiplied by 3, so 9 x2, it give me 18 mana gained, my spell costing me 20 After this point I didn't had any mana problem anymore Next, we're getting up to get more life, every bow damages And then Acrobatics, it adds 30% chance to dodge 50% less armor and ES 30% less chance to block amor, ES, block chance, we're giving no fuck about it But it adds dodge, not evade, which is another defense mechanism, So, when i'm getting *hit* the server will calculate, does the hit passes the 30% chance to dodge Then it'll calculate, will it pass the 47% chance to evade that I have which will get you really tanky Then we have acrobatics improvements, 10% more, 40% total dodge Then phase acrobatics, 30% chance to dodge spell damages Next we'll take projectiles damages and pierce because it synergise so well Then I'll take next, all these life, the damages here, the crit here, then going up to take Quickness, Then all the crit nodes here, then sniper, coordination, then all the life here and here Probably some aura node too, to use more of them And that's pretty all you need to know for this build, This build recquire no unique items But can be pretty upgraded with one unique item, the drillneck, a quiver that add damages the more pierce you have, and since pierce is really needed for this build.
So it will boots your damages in a pretty big way Besides of that, nothing is really needed, just a lot of evasion on gear, life, resistances And you're good, For solo target, you also need to know that tornado shot with LMP does a pretty good work You can also use puncture, but it has been nerfed, and if you want more clearpseed, you can switch LMP with GMP 5 arrows X 3 , you can imagine the results, SO it's all you need to know, to recap, life, evasion, in the skilltree, crits, bow damages and life Ondar's guile, is really important to rush, Acrobatics too And reverly in low levels, you can refund it later once your mana problems are done Dear friends, it's the end of the video, kiss everyone, it was Zelk, for the good old builds, ciao ciao

Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad, Hyderabad (JNTUH): Established as per Act No 30 of the Andhra Pradesh Legislature, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological Universities Act, 2008 formerly known as Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, was established in February, 2003 with the support from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India, New Delhi. The Cell is recognized as one of best performing EDCs in India sanctioned by D.S.T., New Delhi. The Government of India has identified 'Entrepreneurship' as one of the principal mechanisms for the mitigation of Unemployment and Under-employment amongst Science & Technology graduates in the country today.
EDC conducts various programmes to foster the Entrepreneurial spirit amongst the technically qualified Graduates & Post-Graduates from the Faculties of Science, Engineering & Technology and Pharmacy. This is carried out by conducting Entrepreneurship Awareness Camps (EACs), which can be both general and Technically-specific in nature, over 2 to 3-Day duration.
An extended version of the EACs is the Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (EDPs) and Technology based Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (TEDPs) which runs for a duration of 4 to 6-weeks. The aim of both the programmes is to apprise the participants about the various Entrepreneurial opportunities that are existent and the support they can derive from EDC and all the agencies/ organizations which work with us.Participants of the EDPs & TEDPS are usually counseled and a follow-up mechanism is in place to track their progress in their respective projects.
As part of the 'Train-the-Trainer' concept, to further infuse the spirit of Entrepreneurship amongst the students of Science & Technology, EDC also has been conducting Faculty Development Programmes (FDPs) for the benefit of the Faculty of the various Private Engineering Colleges under the purview of JNTUH and also participation is invited from all over the country. The FDPs is for a duration of 2-weeks, training to the Faculty who in turn help promote the cause of Entrepreneurship in the Institutions where they are employed.

Just a few minutes away from Hollanda Montri House you will find JJ Market.
Jing Jai Market is a little north of Chiang Mai's old city and a pleasant area to relax and sip a coffee. Not to be confused with the JJ (otherwise known as Chatuchak) market in Bangkok, Chiang Mai's JJ market is much more relaxed. Most of the time Jing Jai market is just a collection of cafes, restaurants, and bars on the outskirts of town.
Every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday morning (6:00 – 9:00) there is a small market with local Thai's selling organic vegetables and handmade handicrafts. If you are tired of being in the touristic areas of Chiang Mai, then Jing Jai Market will offer you a glimpse into the more peaceful side of Thailand. Walk around the cute shopping complex, choose a café to relax in and read a book. Across the road from Jing Jai Market is Chiang Mai's largest plant and garden market and also a great place to explore as there are many varieties of plants native to Southeast Asia.
Hollanda Montri Guesthouse is a family-style guesthouse, situated nearby the centre of Chiang Mai.
Surrounded by a tropical garden with many trees you will sleep in cleaner air and in a much quieter atmosphere thanks to the river.
Are you ready for the best food in town? Are you thirsty?
We like to welcome you to our tropical garden setting restaurant and Bar. A delightful place for an open-air breakfast, lunch and dinner.
"Good beds, free bicycle use. Right on the river so you dont feel you are right in the city centre. But the old city is within cycling distance. Wholesale food/vegetable market is 5 min walk away on the river – great place to visit early in the morning. Two of the staff spoke English which was helpful for me. Its also close to one of the main bus stations."
Rosemarie, Australia
"The location was fairly close to the city. On a river, with nice views. The atmosphere created at night was lovely, although we seldom stayed in for the night."
The location by the river was gorgeous. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very kind and helpful. The food was cheap and very good. I enjoyed coming down to the restaurant in the evenings and having a drink and dinner. It was close enough to the Bazaar to walk to and easy enough to get a tuk tuk to other places in Chiang Mai.
For your convenience you can print this text, give it to the tuktuk driver and he will drive you strait to our guesthouse.
Good things to know…
