I'm having massive problems! I have spent about 6 hours trying to get my content to be protected and to allow a user to log in on a protected page they are trying to access if they have not yet logged in. Under the Content protection tab, I don't see any of short codes listed (like in page 23 of the manual). I have already created 4 membership level types and the related short codes don't show up. My real problem is that I can't use shortcodes in the Protected content message box. If I was able to use shortcodes, I could use a log in form from the Theme My Login plugin (which I have to use due to the limitations of the membership plugin). Can someone please help!

Ah, dinnertime. That once-a-day ritual that I so looked forward to when I was pregnant, dreaming of the perfect little children I was growing in my tummy. In my mind, lit with the warm glow of the chandelier, I could see Chev, myself, and the girls sitting around the table, eating a healthy, lovingly cooked meal, quietly talking about our day. The girls would, of course, have amazing pallets, eating everything from steak to tilapia happily. (You know, because I was going to start them out early, getting them to try exotic flavors as babies.) We were smiling, even laughing. There was no crying, screaming, or throwing of food. Not at MY dinner table.
Oh, what a fool I was.
The reality of trying to feed two four-year-olds and two adults who all have very different tastes is a heck of a lot more difficult. Despite my best efforts, and their early willingness to eat whatever I put in front of them, the girls have become two very picky eaters. We often liken them to Jack Sprat and his wife. When it comes to food, they are complete opposites, but put together they can usually polish off a meal. Ellie will happily devour any kind of meat, except hamburger, often asking for more. She will not, however, touch vegetables. Laurel will eat a bite or two of meat, then scarf down all of the corn, peas, and potatoes on her plate. Ellie likes all noodles equally, and will eat them no matter what you cover them with, from alfredo to pureed spinach. Laurel will only eat spaghetti-shaped noodles, and only with marinara sauce or butter. Ellie isn't a sweet-eater, preferring pretzels and crackers over cookies and cakes. We have to hide candy and baked-goods on top of the fridge, where Laurel can't reach them.
So dinner time, instead of being a peaceful time to bond over reflections of our day, is now a stress-filled half hour full of cajoling and threatening the girls into eating at least three bites of each food on their plates. Laurel, at least, can be reasoned with. She will eat something she doesn't want to eat, but she will make a face like it is going to kill her, and she has limits. She will eat three bites of something, but that is IT. Don't even try to convince her that since she said she liked something that she should eat more of it. The idea of eating ALL of something she doesn't love makes her brain explode. The explosion sounds a lot like whining.
Ellie won't take a bite of something she doesn't like the looks of. Not even one bite. It doesn't matter how long we make her sit at the table or how many cookies we try to bribe her with. It just isn't happening. I honestly think that if someone told her she had to eat a single pea to save my life, I would be quickly be meeting my maker. You can sing Daniel Tiger's song about trying new food until you turn blue; my stubborn little girl isn't going to open her mouth. If you really push the issue, Ellie will completely shut down, turning sideways in her booster seat and crying uncontrollably, thus ending any hope that we had of her eating even the foods on her plate that she does like.
I don't want you to think we just let them get away with bad dinner behavior from the get-go. We have tried everything we can think of to get the girls to eat: I've read all of the blogs, scoured Pinterest for cute ideas, talked to other moms. And you know what? None of that crap works. I get Laurel involved in cooking dinner all the time, and she'll tell me that she LOVES vegetable soup….until it is sitting in front of her at the dinner table. We've tried making them sit at the table until they eat all of their food. (We couldn't take the crying after 45 minutes.) We tried not letting them have anything else to eat all night. (Ellie woke up crying in the wee hours of the morning, and Laurel woke up at 5am starving every single time.) We tried bribery. (Ellie doesn't care about cake enough to eat three kernals of corn.) We tried threats. (No TV after dinner if you don't eat = penalizing myself WAY too much.) We've tried talking to them as if they were logical human beings. (*snort* Yeah, that didn't work.) The list goes on and on.
Really, the only part of my pregnancy daydream that has come true is the healthy, lovingly cooked meals I provide on a nightly basis. Even the chandelier is a let-down, since there is always at least on bulb burned out. (What is up with that, anyway??) Basically we have resigned ourselves to not having a peaceful meal together for at least another five years.
And you know what? I'm ok with that.
I know that one day they WILL eat what I put in front of them. One day Laurel will ask me for seconds of chicken. One day Ellie will ask for a second helping of roasted veggies. One day they will be in college, eating mushy meatloaf, and they will think, "Man, I really miss mom's cooking."
I know because I was one of the pickiest kids to ever walk the Earth. I spent an entire year of my life eating nothing but peanut butter sandwiches. No, really. That's it. Peanut butter on white bread. And now I'll eat almost anything. My dream vacation would be to eat my way across the globe. I drool while watching cooking shows, and wish I could afford to go to high-end restaurants. If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to weigh a million pounds.
So, if you have a picky kid, remember, it isn't the end of the world. Just go with what they WILL eat and keep trying. Fight the good fight, my friends.

Sales agents who breach the rules when "face to face" selling are the focus of updated guidelines approved by Australian regulators.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission acted after concerns an existing code doesn't make suppliers accountable for the behaviour of their sales employees.
ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard said: "The scheme assists in educating sales agents about their obligations in dealing with consumers. It contains sanctions, including deregistration, for sales agents who do not comply with the standards set by the scheme."
The regulator asked the company running the code, Energy Assured, to tighten up the rulebook.
The code now strengthens the ability to sanction energy retailers where systemic breaches of the code are identified, according to the ACCC.
In the UK, door to door selling without prior permission from a customer was banned by suppliers after reports of "misleading" sales tactics.

This expression is used at the Bible account found at Matthew 12:24-32. For his miraculous cures, Jesus gave the credit to the One really responsible for them. So, to those who accused him of being in league with Satan the Devil, whom they called "Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons," Jesus said: "It is by means of God's spirit that I expel the demons." Consequently, he warned the opposers that "the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. . . . "whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come." The opposers had committed that unforgivable sin by maliciously attributing to the Devil what was plainly a miraculous operation of God's holy spirit.
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is exactly what it says: blasphemy. Blasphemy is a disrespect, irreverence or maliciousness. Since the Holy Spirit, according to the words of Jesus, is sent to speak of Christ and man's need for salvation, this blasphemy translates into a disbelief, mockery or antagonism toward that message. The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit which is not believing His message about Jesus Christ. A person is not sent to hell because he is a murderer. He is sent to hell because he doesn't believe in Christ. A person is not sent to hell because he is a rapist. He is sent to hell because he doesn't believe in Christ. A person is not sent to hell because he is a thief. He is sent to hell because he doesn't believe in Christ. Conversely, A person does not go to heaven because he is a good person. He goes to heaven because he believes in Christ. A person does not go to heaven because he goes to church. He goes to heaven because he believes in Christ. A person does not go to heaven because he gives his money and time to good causes. He goes to heaven because he believes in Christ.
In Matthew chapter 12 Jesus cast out a demon. (In Mark, it is written that they said He was possessed by Beelzebul [Satan]). The Pharisees said that Jesus was the ruler of demons that's why He could cast them out. The pharisees knew all of the prophecies. Signs that He was the Son of Man were clear, yet they refused to recognize that. What Jesus did was a miracle but the pharisees claimed otherwise. They deliberately rejected Jesus even though the evidence was before them and they knew it. He was the Son of God and they rejected that. http://www.raptureready.com/faq/faq307.html
It means to deny that the Holy spirit exists. You've got me pal. Every religion has it's own version of an "unforgivable" sin. God is all powerful. The Holy Spirit is an aspect of God. I can harden my heart against the Holy Spirit. Therefore I'm more powerful than God.
Wow, GB, how...."christlike" of you. :P
denial of WHO and WHAT the Holy Spirit is...its God and HIS POWER ...HIS POWER of 'help' and 'comfort'.... deny the Holy Spirit is denying GOD....it is very vital to know the correct identity of the Almighty...God , the Holy Spirit and Christ are ONE>>> you can deny Christ and still COME HOME...be forgiven...but DENYING GOD is unforgiveable and you can never COME HOME....amen
Generally one needs a name to blast pheme inorder for it to work. For instance saying, God Damn, is not blast famous because God is not a devine name. There isnt a devine name. Unless we say that the name, Holy Spirit is a devine name. Again it is a name we humans have given to a Spiritual Enity. The Holy Spirit is real. Therefore saying that the Holy Spirit isnt real would be blast feemous. If you are a non believer, than it doesnt really matter, and it is forgiveable. There fore it must be some kind of church rule to make it unforegiveable.
From the answers you received, no one is close to the truth. Let us reason here. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is to blaspheme against the authorized KJV Bible by eradicating the book. God's Holy men were actually moved by the Holy Spirit to give us the words we have now from The Holy Bible. God speaks to His Creation through a certain book. It is certainly not with newer translations, since "God despises alterations." We either have one book that leads us to the truth or we are lost. 2 Peter 2:21 "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."
Wow, Jennay, you didn't even attempt to answer the question, as usual.
Jenny Rizzo
Wakko, my answer is clear. It's up to you to prove me wrong in what you don't agree with. I doubt that you will, so I will consider your remarks as a non-productive approach.
to talk bad about the holy spirit
The people who die without Jesus and deny Him unto death is the answer. For God is all three persons in one.
to say sonnething really bad about it
This type of sin is related to what we read in Hebrews 10:26: "If we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left." So there is a deliberateness or willfulness about this kind of sin. One callously sins, fully aware of the fact that he is going directly contrary to the operation of God's spirit and His righteous laws. Furthermore, we all are sinful and need Christ's ransom sacrifice to obtain forgiveness. But "there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left" for one who knows that and "who has trampled upon the Son of God and who has esteemed as of ordinary value the blood" he shed. That one "has outraged the spirit of undeserved kindness with contempt." (Heb. 10:29) He will never repent and humbly seek God's forgiveness for his sin and rejection of Christ's ransom. He is beyond repentance.
When the Holy Spirit testifies to you it is a very personal thing. A one on one experience. The Holy Spirit testifies of the truth of all things. No one can be converted without it. When The Holy Spirit testifies to you, there is no doubt. You know it to your soul. When you know The Holy Spirit is real and true and you deny it, that is denial of the Holy Spirit. And its unforgivable because God knows you know its true to your very soul.
Forgive yourself and move on. No need in going through life all downcast because you did this or that. Go and sin no more, but if/when you do, forgive yourself. No need in crucifying Jesus perpetually.
Hi Nick, here's a perspective you might not see often. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is what it is called when a believer begins to question the belief system itself. It is considered an unforgivable sin in order to strongly discourage believers with skeptical inclinations from causing problems for the religious leaders.

The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset developed and manufactured by Oculus VR, a division of Facebook Inc., released on March 28, 2016.
Oculus initiated a Kickstarter campaign in 2012 to fund the Rift's development, after being founded as an independent company two months prior. The project proved successful, raising US$2.5 million.[2] In March 2014, Facebook purchased Oculus for $2 billion.[3][4]
The Rift has gone through various pre-production models since the Kickstarter campaign, around five of which were demonstrated to the public. Two of these models were shipped to backers, labelled as 'development kits'; the DK1 in mid 2013 and DK2 in mid 2014, to give developers a chance to develop content on time for the Rift's release. However, both were also purchased by a large number of enthusiasts who wished to get an early preview of the technology.[5]
The Rift has a stereoscopic OLED display, 1080×1200 resolution per eye, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and 110° field of view.[6][7][8] It has integrated headphones which provide a 3D audio effect, rotational and positional tracking. The positional tracking system, called "Constellation", is performed by a USB stationary infrared sensor that is picking up light that is emitted by IR LEDs that are integrated into the head-mounted display. The sensor normally sits on the user's desk. This creates 3D space, allowing for the user to use the Rift while sitting, standing, or walking around the same room.[9]

And the best picture goes to…
A robot?
Recently a piece of artwork called Portrait of Edmond Belamy created by an algorithm sold at auction for $432,500. Early predictions thought it may fetch just $7,000.
The painting was made by analyzing 15,000 paintings dating back from the 14th century.
And artificial intelligence isn't just creating paintings.
Musicians are using AI to help create hit songs. An AI program also wrote, directed and acted in a 2018 short film.

Hello !
I have been lurking here for months, but now poking my head into the forum.
I'm not sure if this forum is for people who haven't started yet on a build. If it isn't, mods can delete me.
I had previously decided on getting a cargo trailer to convert, but now I'm thinking a shuttle bus might be better for me. I like having everything in one piece- my home and my vehicle.
I'm actually going to look at a shuttle bus tomorrow. It's a 1997 and he says it has 120k miles. That seems low for the age. I told him I would need to also have my mechanic look at it. Price is $2500.
Anyway, if you say I am in the wrong place I will go away. No harm no foul..

This is a copy of the Stripped Down Profits sales page that has caused a lot of dicussion in THIS blog post. Since the blog post was written, the sales page has been taken down and a lot of people were unable to see what I was actually talking about, so here it is for all to see.
Below is a snapshot of the Web page as it appeared on 11/03/2011, this was taken from the Bing.com cache.
The page is exactly as it was whilst it was "live", apart from a different FLV player being used to embed the video, and the buy now buttons disabled.

| 14.2°C Dublin
A campaign group for Muslim prisoners, which is partnered by Amnesty International, has published a mock execution of US President Barack Obama.
CagePrisoners, run by Moazzam Begg, a former Guantanamo detainee, published a fake picture of Mr Obama with head wounds and headlined it: "Breaking news: Barack Obama is dead."
The article underneath, which has been duplicated on Muslim forums across the internet, described the US president as a war criminal and claimed he had been killed by Pakistani security forces at a compound in Surrey.
Mr Obama's wife Michelle was also said to have been killed when she was used as "a shield".
"Obama was cremated at the stake after a Christian funeral on board an aircraft carrier," the article said, mocking the Muslim funeral given to Bin Laden.
The article, by Fahad Ansari, criticised Mr Obama for the campaign of drone attacks against al-Qa'ida in Pakistan.
Amnesty International said it did not approve of the article but would continue to work with the group. (© Daily Telegraph, London)

In the third instalment of The Readers Summer Book Club we discuss our only non-fiction title 'Packing for Mars' by Mary Roach. If you haven't read the book then do not despair as this is a book full of fascinating and funny true tales of space so we can't do spoilers. We catch up with Mary Roach, a listener leaves a voicemail, another listener joins The Readers for some discussion and Simon and Gavin give their thoughts on the book too.
Don't forget you can find us on Twitter, Good Reads and Facebook now as well as subscribing to us on iTunes here.
An Interview with the Author () This week Gavin and Simon are joined by the very lovely (and very, very funny) Mary Roach to discuss her latest non-fiction book 'Packing for Mars'. They ask her why she decided to write about space as a subject, what research she had to do and just how on earth she finds the courage to ask the questions we would love to but might not dare.
Simon & Gavin's Thoughts () The two co-hosts discuss how they got on with 'Packing for Mars', without giving too much away they are feeling quite smug about their choices at the moment. You will be able to see Simon's thoughts in more detail on his blog here and Gavin's on his here later today.
A Listeners Thoughts () One of The Readers listeners Joanna couldn't join us for the discussion (as Simon has been ill and had to reschedule everything) so instead she leaves us some of her thoughts on the book. Unfortunately due to a Skype technical error we only have the first minute.
The Readers Panel Discusses… () Simon and Gavin are joined by Elizabeth, who while they record they discover lives just down the road from NASA in Houston, to discuss the book a little more and give a new perspective on it from across the ocean.
Next week on The Readers Summer Book Club () We have the fourth book in The Readers Summer Book Club, 'Bleakly Hall' by Elaine Di Rollo. Gavin and Simon will be joined by the author and some new guests for some more book based banter. We will speak to you then.

Yoga Booty Challenge
1. Sit in Easy Pose. Place the right palm on the ground about 6 inches from the body (lA). Extend the left arm to the side, parallel to the ground, and bend the elbow so the palm faces the head (lB). First slap the ground firmly with the right palm 8 times chanting Har with each slap. Then begin sharp powerful motions with the left palm as if to slap the cheek but stop about an inch before contact. Move the left palm in and back out 8
times chanting Hari with each slapping movement. Continue alternating between the two hands for 3 minutes.
Note: The left arm position is held very firmly and the slapping motion should be done so powerfully that the cheek would be bruised if the palm actually made contact. This motion affects meridian points on the left arm which reconstitute the heart muscles.
2. Remain in Easy Pose and repeat the previous sequence of motions with both hands simultaneously. First slap the ground with both hands 8 times chanting Har (2A), then with both hands strike towards the cheeks 8 times chanting Hari (2B). Continue for 5 minutes.
3. Remain in Easy Pose. Make the hands into fists and extend the arms back and 45° below parallel (3A).
Maintaining great tension in the arms bring the left fist in toward the chest, stop just before contact (3B), then extend the arm back to its original position. Now rapidly repeat the motion with the right arm. Continue alternating rapidly, about once per second, for 4 minutes.
4. Lie on the back. Make the hands into fists and begin powerful punching motions straight up toward the sky (4A),
then lower the hands and tap the sides of the sternum with the fingertips (4B). Move powerfully, alternating between the punching and tapping motions for 4 minutes.
5. Remain on the back. Raise the heels six inches off the ground and punch the sky as in Exercise 4A. Continue for 4 minutes. Practice of this exercise strengthens the intuitive mind.
6. Relax on the back as you listen to beautiful, uplifting music to carry you into a state of deep relaxation. Completely relax and go to sleep. (Musical Variation: Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru by Sangeet Kaur.)
To become a warrior of great courage. Do each exercise in this series regularly and wholeheartedly, moving with great tension and power as in the practice of a martial art. This endeavor will strengthen the heart and release deep-seated stress. It is designed to "give you the chance to relax and be you." It builds within you a victorious personality with "courage in you, no matter what!" - Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga for strengthening the aura KYkriyas (From Sadhana Guidelines)
1. Stand up. Bend forward so the palms are on the ground and the body forms a triangle. Raise the right leg up with the knee straight. Exhale bend the arms and bring the head near the ground. Inhale raise up to the original triangle pose. Continue this triangle push for 1 V2 minutes. Switch legs and continue for another 1 V2 minutes.
2. Sit in easy pose. Extend the left hand forward as if grasping a pole so the palm faces to the right. Put the right palm facing down crossed under the left wrist (2A). Raise the right hand up over the back the left hand so both palms face right and the fingers lock (2B). Inhale - raise the arms to 60° (2C), Exhale - bring the arms down. Keep the elbows straight. Breathe deeply for 2 to 3 minutes. Then inhale - stretch the arms up (2D). Relax.
3. Put both arms forward, parallel to the ground with palms facing each other about 6 inches apart. As you inhale, let the arms drop back and stretch toward each other. Exhale bring them forward to the original position. Continue 3 minutes with deep rhythmic breaths.
This is a great kriya for keeping disease away and developing your aura. The time can be built up to 7^2 minutes for each side in Exercise 1, and 15 minutes each for Exercises 2 and 3. That will create a tremendous sweat. It will rid almost any digestive problem. It gives strength to the arms and it extends the power of protection and projection in the personality.

You didn't know that New Orleans was powered by a matter / antimatter engine, did you. The kind they have on Star Trek to travel at warp speeds. Perhaps they installed it after Hurricane Katrina. I found it hidden away inside the Harrah's Casino.
They covered the walls of the engine room with ornate decorations and mood lighting. They even built a bar around the warp core. But don't be fooled.
The room was very dark and, I thought, empty. But after closely examining the photo, I noticed a few patrons. Undoubtedly engineers to monitor the systems. I used my slow wide-angle lens, the Olympus 9-18mm, so even at a 0.2 second shutter, I needed ISO 1250. The PEN-F's in body image stabilization handled it well.

I watched this because Simon Cowell supposedly cried. For those who like female crying, there's a ton of good stuff in here, so enjoy. As for Simon, I guess what can you expect? I was hoping to see something that resembled crying or choking up, but these things are almost always hyped up too much. He admits to it, though. And I guess the fact anything happened at all is big news when it comes to him.
Simon cries like a stone wall in the desert in the middle of June. Manliest crier ever.
You reminded me of a tough jury in the Romanian version of X factor . Here it is, the guy Ioan Man is a poor, blind man who has a very good voice, he really impressed the jury and the two men in the jury and all the other start crying when he sings. Here's the clip :

County Assembly Communications Department
County Assembly of Kitui.
Tuesday, July 25, 2018 the County Assembly of Kitui adopted a report that seeks to boost cooperative societies in the county. This is after the MCAs unanimously approved a motion on adoption of the report by the Committee on Trade, Industry, ICT and Cooperatives on the Benchmarking Trip to Various Cooperatives in Murang'a, Kiambu and Nyeri Counties.
The motion was moved by the Committee's Chairperson, Hon. James Musyoka during Tuesday afternoon sitting presided over by the acting County Assembly Speaker Hon. David Thuvi who represents Kithumula/ Kwamutonga Ward to the assembly.
While moving the motion Hon. Musyoka informed the House that the visit was carried out early this year to benchmark on the best practices of running and managing co-operative societies, value addition of products, and generally share ideas on the viable practices that are likely to bring development and uplift economic status of the Kitui populace.
The cooperative movement in Kenya, Hon. Musyoka said, is one of the nationally organized institutions available for all cadres of persons whose agenda is usually based on locally determined proposals and aims at empowering citizens to realize their socio-cultural and economic capacities using locally available resources. In the report, the Committee noted that Kitui County has a total of 205 Co-Operative societies out of which 146 (71%) are active and operational while the rest making about (29%) are ceased functioning.
Hon. Musyoka who is also the Kiomo/Kyethani Ward Rep lauded the 'Strategy 247' One Village – One cooperative" ; a program which was initiated the county government. It focuses on cooperatives as a model of uniting people to realize their potential which they would not otherwise have achieved individually.
"Mr. Speaker, it will be a plus for the county if in every ward there is a functional cooperative society that will employ members of the public and shall mainly focus on value addition of the resources readily available within Kitui County," he said.
While seconding the motion, the Majority Whip Stephen Makau assured the House that the report will put the county on the right direction as far as cooperative movement is concerned.
"I want to state that if today we had this report adopted and implemented to the latter theNdengu Revolution would not be a ndengu fiascoas we are having today," said the Kyuso Ward MCA.
He added : "Now, we have a direction and know where cooperative movements have worked well and have brought along economic stability necessitated by the mass production of goods. We are at a learning point since we have plenty of pulses and have no option since the next season may bring along plenty more."
His Voo /Kyamatu Ward counterpart Hon. Nelson Kivali implored on fellow committee members to come up with policies that can help the vast county adopt the cooperative movement , "as we are at crossroads due to the enormous supply of green grams which we as a county are known to produce [massively]. If we could have major cooperatives then the marketing wouldn't cause such a great challenge," he said.
The report received an enormous backing from several MCAs including Hon. Philip Nguli (Migwani), Hon. James Munuve (Kanziko), Hon. Dr. Grace Mutua (Nominated), Hon. Antony Ndoo (Township Ward) and Hon. Mary Ndumbu(Nominated). The legislators jointly agreed that if the report will be implemented it will help a great deal in empowering the locals economically.

text: Hello! As some did know, i took kinda long break off pokemon this year. However, after finishing nats with regular stuff, we had some time to make up a nice metagame counter-list, that actually was fairly good. Unfortunately, our time was limited and the first goal, to make a deck that beats GG, became also the last goal. As pretty obviously can be seen from the list, the main purpose was to complitely lock the opponent, while still being able to setup fairly well yourself. Claydol is rather an emerengy setupper, mainly a wager counter though while format was so flip based this year, even if the list was perfect(which it wasn´t unfortunately), nothing could surely really counter everything. I have to say though, even as i faced some unlucky things(like everyone most likely), first loss going down to a flip, second to ruling i had never heard about, last to baltoy being prized&top cut being only 3 spots away, i can´t really complain. Last year after all that playtesting i felt like i´m flowing through the games, this year i don´t even want to count the missplays i did. Also as mentioned, the lists purpose unfortunately remained in defeating just GG, even the trode tech came up in the last evening, when we noticed that empo matchup ain´t too good. 3*Jirachi ex 3*Ralts SW 3*Kirlia DF 3*Gallade 3*Absol 1*Voltorb 1*Electrode 1*Baltoy 1*Claydol 1*Absol ex 1*Rayquaza ex 6*Psychic 4*Electric 2*Multi 1*Fighting 1*Bdark 2*Warp Point 4*Crystal Beach 4*Cessation 4*Castaway 4*Bebe's 4*Roseanne 2*Celio's 1*Scott Unfortunately, i didn´t catch the names of my opponents, and all the match information comes just from my memory, without any notes, so they might be unaccurate, even wrong at some spots. 1. GG The matchup i´m most familiar with, good so far. I start with absol i think, he has a random selection of basics. I started with absol+cess if my memory serves me, and while he draws absolutely nothing and only threat is 2 energy ralts on the bench, i start hitting with jirachi. In case for a trap, i had absol ex+trode up for the gallade, but that never came. He showed his hand, and it was something like 4 evolutions, 4 scramble/dre. 1-0 2.Empozong Whoever you were, props for the play. VS. empo you naturally can´t really go with absol too much, so i had to go for the kills too quickly. Unfortunately, i didn´t get to draw beaches. The game was pretty even till i was a turn late&had to take the changes for paralyzing his active bronzong, after which i would´ve been able to knock out what was on the table. Fair enough though, he won straight to that flip, and i guess it would´ve been close if it was heads. 1-1 3&4 GG Another gg like in the fourth round also, i don´t remember order of these two games though. One of these games was pretty much a copy of the game one - i get my lock working from the start, and there´s nothing he can do really, while he draws just crap. The other game was then easily the hardest GG game in the tournament i had. I think there was more or less pressure in both sides, since both of us made a horrific missplay in the start. I had my beach on, he attaches a castform to his 2 energy gardevoir&tries to attack. For some strange reason, i went&knocked it out with trode, while i just should´ve roseanned for jirach. This would´ve not been a problem if my setup was good, but it was quite horrific. While i saw he has pretty much nothing&i´m again one turn behind, i decide to just pass with 2 energy kirlia¬ to kill the (claydol?) in the front, since my cess locks it anyway&his benched gardy wouldn´t be able to knock my gallade next turn. Of course he draws a wager, and wins it. The game goes to a really close one in the end, but i manage to make it in the end, GG 3-1 5. Amphyzong Neither of us really setup fast, so it ends up being one where i take the lead, and he´ll come back with the scrambles. Unfortunately, my draw was quite ****** in here for the beaches, and i didn´t manage to get one to replace the LB, that replaced my t1 beach that came with scott. It wasn´t a missplay though, i just couldn´t afford grabbing 2 beaches with that hand. The game goes down to 3-2 for my advantage, when this loveable ruling came up. I called to hit 80 with gallade, as i usually do(and he didn´t complain for this before) for the knock, and he calls a judge, and it was judged along these guidelines i didn´t know about, the minimum damage leaving the active bronzong 10 away from the KO. The ******* did go further than that though. For some reason, that most likely remains unknown to me, he suddenly calls a judge and blames me for unsportmanship, even though i did absolutely nothing like that. The judge wasn´t interested about that call really, though, i don´t know if the guy has done this kind of stuff regulary.Game goes on, and he then warp points, and i have to sack a voltorb front(i couldn´t get a cess active unfortunately), he absols 30 to jirachi that had already taken 50 and ko's the active voltorb. I could´ve KO'ed one poke if the bronzong wen´t down, but not 2 in 1 turn&i couldn´t help the fact that the jira would die to pain amplifier. It´s a shame that there are idiots like this one around. At this point, i kinda lost my interest to the rest of the tournament, even though i had good changes of going on. Not only because of the above, but i heard that one Finnish senior, first timer in a big event, was banned for the tournament for the following: As far as i know, our translator told harmlessly that a japanese guy used a funny trick in grinder and one that got through the grinder - he had a dusknoir translation, even though he didn´t have dusknoir in his deck. Ok, i agree that i wouldn´t do that either, but while all the guys that complete the grinder are deckchecked&translations should be checked at the same spot as well, even i thought it was complitely legal. Using the head judges own words, a judge asked if it was his translation, he said yes, though he didn´t really understand the complete meaning of this yes. A judge asked the question again with the same answer, went through his deck, and while he found out that there´s no dusknoir in there, his self payed trip ended right there. Strange thing was that no judge was really interested if he knew what exactly means translation(for example if you have copies from card dex, you have plenty of copies, that actually aren´t in your deck, even though those copies are translations) and according to this banned Fin, NO FINNISH TRANSLATOR was allowed to speak with him to clear up why the dusknoir was in there, or if this was cheating in purpose or not. The head judge unpolitely cleared to me also that "these things happen" and "we didn´t catch the japanese guy then"...that was deckchecked? Also, i understand that head judge might be a busy man, but if he doesn´t have time to discuss about REMOVING A PLAYER FROM TOURNAMENT, something is wrong. I don´t know what bugs you really... you seemed like a fair person in 2007. "Fair and fun" pokemon indeed. 6. GG I was pretty much down because of the above, and didn´t care at all about this game. I happened to meet a German guy i knew, and while he played gg, it went without too much thinking. Actually, i was almost eaten in this game because of 1 or 2 wagers, can´t remember, but i drew my beaches&i was lucky enough to absol one windstorm away, so he didn´t get his counters up at all. 4-2 7. Amphyzong This guy was VERY nervous, since he made missplays almost every turn. Unfortunately, i didn´t have that tech chatot, and my opening hand was horrible for a game where baltoy is prized. I had 2 bebes, pokes+few energy, and i drew pretty much nothing. When it was down to 6-3, i started to get some setup finally&with the help of beach and his missplay's, i actually managed to pull it to 3-1. He didn´t have really energy up, and he was bumping up a rayquaza. Unfortunately, i didn´t get my topdecks even when i had clay working now(needed a topdeck celio/bebe within 2 turns), and i didn´t get my absol ex trap ready early enough. 4-3 and finishing spot of 35. Don´t get the wrong impression of which i will say, my own tournament expect for round 5 was pretty coo l. However, with the attitude of judges and the behaviour of the staff members in there really makes me feel bad. This was my last tournament for pokemon in any case, but with actions like this year's , i´d consider quitting even if i didn´t plan it before. Also, while i give BIG minus to the head judge, several others&few staff members, in the other hand we have to remember that most of those guys still were doing good job, that just tends to get shadowed by some other´s bad actions. Also, big congrats to all the winners.

Communities in the Mopti region of central Mali—which is home to several ethnic groups and to many people displaced by 2012 violence in the country's northern region—continue to grapple with widespread sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), including forced and early marriage and other harmful practices. A majority of Malian girls are married by the time they reach 18, and 15% before the age of 15. About 91% of women between 15 and 49 years old, as well as 69% of girls under 15, have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM). And, as is true in so many conflict-affected areas, widespread sexual violence has been a tragic and infuriating effect of war, dislocation, and migration.
The Philippines has one of the highest TB burdens in the world—and 2.6% of its more than 286,000 new cases in 2015 were of multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). This threatens the progress the country has made in addressing the deadly disease over the past few decades and its goal to make the country TB-free by 2030. Further, MDR-TB cases will likely rise steadily in the Philippines and the world over the next two decades.
There's a new medicine that can help. Through a partnership with Janssen Therapeutics of Johnson & Johnson that began in 2015, USAID introduced a program to distribute a new medicine called bedaquiline that helps patients with MDR-TB in low-income countries including the Philippines. The USAID-funded Systems for Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services (SIAPS) Program, which Management Sciences for Health (MSH) leads, has been helping to roll out bedaquiline in low- and middle-income countries.
But with any new treatment, active pharmacovigilance (PV) is needed to help ensure both patient safety and drug effectiveness. This means being able to monitor patients to identify and evaluate adverse events, such as unexpected or serious side effects, to better understand possible risks and improve treatment protocols.
Health systems strengthening was front and center in discussions held in New York on the sidelines of the 72nd United Nations General Assembly. MSH hosted three events spotlighting how strong health systems are critical to resiliency and stability in fragile environments, at the core for global health security and essential for achieving universal health coverage. Here are some highlights from the week. See more on Twitter @MSHHealthImpact, @MSHACTS and @FCIatMSH.
(This post originally appeared on the Next Billion website.)
Advances in health technologies have reshaped the lives of communities, families and individuals, undoubtedly contributing to better health outcomes around the world. For the most vulnerable populations, technology may significantly improve access to preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services and help increase demand for greater quality care. Yet, despite their potential, new technologies can also add new challenges, risking potential gains in quality, safety or cost. Particularly in settings where health systems are weak, the introduction of technological interventions requires thoughtful execution.
On a bright July day in San Ignacio de Moxos, Bolivia, 13 indigenous women leaders gathered in the central plaza around a long table decorated with bowls of beans, rice, plantains, corn, tomatoes, greens, and other foods. As part of an all-day fair to promote the health and nutrition of pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers, these indigenous women leaders presented their dishes to over 150 community members and local officials, gathered in the plaza to celebrate the town's anniversary, and offered ideas on how to cook with locally- grown ingredients provided by the national government's food subsidy program.
Through the White Ribbon Alliance's Self-Care Initiative, MSH-Perú is organizing workshops and other outreach activities, to motivate women in 11 indigenous Bolivian communities to actively care for themselves, especially during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, by practicing healthy behaviors, and preparing nutritious meals.
Earlier this year we wrote about our ongoing experience reaching pregnant women in Uganda with a model that we called "pregnancy clubs" – an effort to improve the quality of health services women receive during pregnancy and after delivery by organizing them into groups to discuss their personal experiences and learn important self-care skills, guided by a healthcare provider. The region where we are working is particularly vulnerable because there are very high rates of adolescent pregnancy (30.6%), and younger women often find that services are unable to meet their specific needs – especially for the first pregnancy. It can be a lonely time for younger women, especially if they are in a new household and a new marriage, or if experiencing stigma from pregnancy outside of marriage.

With the current largest generation of young people, there is much to celebrate on August 12, International Youth Day. In particular, there is the growing recognition that as agents of change, adolescents and young people and their organisations are essential stakeholders who contribute to inclusive, just, sustainable and peaceful societies. Crucially, advocates working on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and reproductive rights (RR) advance access for young people in meaningful ways.

Rioja: Marques de Caceres
Oct 22nd, 2012 by cia
Rioja's magnificent red wines tend to overshadow its whites, but the region's white wines appeal to many, especially sommeliers and collectors who admire the wines' astonishing ability to age. Made largely from the Viura grape, Rioja whites from traditional producers such as Lopez de Heredia receive oak aging and can improve in the bottle for 15 to 20 years. Other producers, such as Marques de Caceres, focus on preserving the grape's lively aromas and freshness through stainless steel fermentation.

Earlobe Repair
Earlobe Repair – Piercing your ears put the earlobes at risk for stretching, tearing, and keloid scarring (a benign growth on scar tissue). Because of their location, the tears are often split and are very visible. Earlobe repair surgery fixes the split and enables you to wear earrings again.
Who is a candidate?
People who have:
- Torn earlobes or elongated piercing tracts may benefit from this procedure.
Intended Result
- A torn earlobe will be repaired.
- The scar from earlobe repair surgery is almost always imperceptible.
Procedure Description
- Earlobe repair is a relative simple procedure.
- To allow the lobe of the ear to heal back together, the surgeon cuts away the healed skin on the inside of the torn earlobe.
- The fresh edges are sutured back together.
Recuperation and Healing
- Sutures are removed after five days.
- Note: Be careful not to have your ear re-pierced in the scar or just above the scar. The scar is weaker than the surrounding tissue so it will tear more easily. Have the new piercing done to the right or left of the scar.

Just a quick picture for today. My trusty warrior has finally made it into the Jade Forest, where he met this gentle innkeeper. I'm curious to see what Pandaria holds in store for me, so I'll keep you updated!
Before you read any further: spoiler alert. This text contains massive spoilers about the A Song of Ice and Fire books, and especially the events in A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords. If you still want to enjoy those books, better read something else on this blog. Please, stay on this blog. It will be worth your time.
With that out of the way, let me tell you something about Jaime Lannister. Ah, what hasn't been said about this smug-faced sisterlover already. With his good looks and his charming ways, he conquers many Westerosi hearts, but his own only beats for his twin sister. While being the father of a bunch of incest children, he still does his best to be the awesome member of the Kingsguard everybody thinks he is, despite the fact that he already killed a King he had sworn to protect. He has so much to hate, and many viewers of the HBO show and readers of the first two books really hate this arrogant tool. Until a few days ago, I was one of them.
You see, if you make it to the third book of the A Song of Ice and Fire saga, you will discover an entirely new side of Jaime. While trying to make his way to King's Landing with Brienne, the two get caught by the rather brutish and primitive Brave Companions, and in a sadistic turn of events, Jaime Lannister loses his sword-hand. That's right: this great knight loses what makes him so feared and famous, and he sure has a serious internal crisis about it. However, instead of turning into a wimpy idiot who just complains about how cruel the world is, Jaime makes up plans to get the most out of the situation, and even starts to appreciate the companionship and bravery of the female knight Brienne. When he gets a safe escort back to King's Landing without Brienne, he decides that he can't just leave her behind, rides back to Harrenhal and saves her from a bear, which she had to fight with a blunt tournament sword. Of course, he keeps his cool through all of this, almost never complaining about his lost hand, while risking his life and safety for a woman he could just as easily hate.
Ladies and gentleman, Jaime Lannister is, officially, my new favourite character of the entire saga.
Seriously, it's impressive how Jaime goes from charming jerk to handicapped good guy in just a few chapters. Even better, the entire transformation feels plausible and is well-written. It's great to see a tough, badass character like Jaime developing soft spots, and that almost makes you forget that he is the father of several incestuous children and the member of the family responsible for Eddard Stark's death (though you could write that one up to Joffrey's sheer madness). It also makes him believable, and that was just the thing he needed after being my favourite character to hate (next to Joffrey. God, I hate that brat).
So, next time you meet a fictional character that seems to be a prick, don't judge him too fast. Snape turned out okay, and Jaime Lannister seems to be a semi-good guy as well. Hate and despise them while you can, but respect them as soon as they find redemption for their douchery.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I got books to read.
A week ago, I wrote about my return to Azeroth. Currently, my brave little panda is having some aquatic adventures, and as I kill sea monsters and gather crab meat, I wonder what called me back to World of Warcraft. Many things have changed, but the two expansions that I've skipped didn't add anything entirely new to the game. Also, there are several other MMO's out there that are just as fun (and more up-to-date) than WoW (like my beloved The Secret World). So what makes me put so much time in this old love of mine? Well, it's the people.
MMORPG's are a social experience (or at least they should be). In fact, every game is a social experience. You can't play Monopoly all by yourself, and neither can you have much fun playing football without two teams. While one half of the joy we experience during game comes from the quality of it, the other half comes from the people we play it with. The greatest MMORPG in the world could hit shelves tomorrow, but I wouldn't linger long in it if I had no one to share my excitement with.
One reason I left Azeroth behind me after the Cataclysm was because of boredom, but that boredom was born from a lack of fellow players. My guild, in which I had experienced two expansions, had started to fall apart, and we all followed our own paths. Some of us had left WoW, others were busy leveling new characters, and the rest had moved on to other guilds. The social unit that I had called "home" was no more, and so there was no guild chat in which we could tell lame jokes and no Ventrilo on which we could annoy each other with our bad taste in music. Most of these people were more than pixels to me; I knew them in real life. I knew what they looked like, and I recognised the timbre of their voices. This knowledge made their characters come to life, and thus, I travelled across Azeroth with real, organic beings, with whom I shared victory and defeat. In a way, we were a digital band of brothers.
Now, I have a new group of people who are exactly that. The people who dragged me back into a world I had almost forgotten are also the people I would have a beer or go to the movies with. Sometimes they're silly, sometimes they're childish, but they are always there with me in the game. It's a feature no game has, but that you add yourself: friends and buddies, journeying with you into new adventures.
So, be thankful for all the gaming buddies you have. Next time you rage about their low damage output or their annoying habits, be grateful for the fact that they add something to your gaming experience. Because no matter how awesome a game can be, nothing is as demotivating as a silent, lonely guild chat.
I'm the Chindividual, and I salute all gaming friends out there!
Yeah, try saying that ten times! Anyway, welcome to another installment of The Secret World of Darkness. Today, we'll take a look at the factions of the secret world and how to represent them best with the World of Darkness rules. We'll be adding another WoD book to the material used, so if you want to find out what you'll need to get from your library to bring Funcom's world to your table, read on!
When Funcom announced that The Secret World would go B2P, I rejoiced and did my happy dance. Not just because I like to do silly dances, but also because I'm a Scrooge McDuck and like to keep as many Euros for myself as possible. The fact that I can keep enjoying TSW without paying a fee meant that I could dabble in other MMORPG's, possibly even one that might require a subscription fee. That was when World of Warcraft reared its not-so-ugly head.
You see, WoW and I have a long history. I started playing the game-changing MMO one month after its release, and took only short breaks from it until Cataclysm. The world-shattering expansion also shattered my last shreds of interest , and so I said goodbye to it for quite a while. Then, Mists of Pandaria was released, and a month after its (surprisingly positively received) launch, I bought the expansion and started playing a new toon, together with some returning and veteran friends. To my surprise, I found the changes made to the game really enjoyable. The new talent system is limited, but now I have the feeling that choosing a specialisation and a talent actually matters. The Pandaren are less whimsical than I had expected, and the Monk is actually a really fun class to play. Damn you, WoW, for being fun again!
So, for the last months, I've been playing WoW on and off again on multiple characters. I hit 70 with my Pandaren Warrior today, and I'm working my way back to the level cap together with a group of friends. It doesn't feel as great and fantastic as it did "back in the days", but I have fun rediscovering a world I thought I knew so well.
Azeroth, I'm back!
Another day, another post about The Secret World of Darkness. In today's installment, we will take another look at what Anima has to offer for a character, look at some notes about conflicting rules and expand Fiddles' character sheet. Here we go!
Hello guys and gals, and welcome back to another post about my The Secret World of Darkness project, in which I melt the rules of the new World of Darkness with the setting of Funcom's The Secret World. In today's installment, we will elaborate the aforementioned Anima power stat and pool, and start the creation of an example character. Call your secret society and tell them Cthulhu has to wait, because this will keep you busy!

I review the second Episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, entitled 0-8-4. Spoilers Within.
Agents of SHIELD Episode 2 sees the team, along with one of the most annoying characters currently on TV shows that I'm watching (not including shows that I'm catching up on, otherwise Xander Harris would easily be top of this list) Skye head to investigate an 0-8-4, an unknown object somewhere south of the American border. There, Coulson runs into an old love interest now working for a local militia, who have trouble fending off against a network of rebels. This episode gives an Indiana Jones feel to its display, but ultimately suffers once again in its execution – there aren't any jokes that come anywhere close to the Pilot, and the plot as a whole is rather weak. It boasts all the signatures of being a Joss Whedon written episode without actually being a Joss Whedon written episode – his brother, Jed – takes over writing duties and does a fine but flawed job, with the post-credits scene easily stealing the entire show.
I don't know about you, but I was bored for most of this Episode. I spent more time engaged in a twitter conversation about the upcoming NaNoWriMo than I did with my eyes on the screen. Heck, my brother was watching this one as well, and his eyes didn't even leave his laptop for most of the Episodes' run, only when things got good (at last) towards the end. It's just a pilot episode is an excuse that can no longer be applied to shows like this nowadays, although it's clear that with the exception of Firefly – which was stellar from the get go, the other Whedon show that I've seen so far, Buffy the Vampire Slayer – progressed a lot in its second season. Heck, aside from the final episode the first season of Buffy was pretty bad, there's no denying that. Maybe we could be looking at the same thing with Agents of SHIELD? I hope not, because this show has to do something pretty good to keep me viewing following the first break (if it's schedule is like Arrow, where it will air a bunch of episodes, take a few weeks off and then return), as well as make me put up with the adverts that seem to acquaint for what seems like half of the show's viewing time, reminding me why I rarely watch TV outside of the BBC (pretty much 90% of non-BBC stuff is watched either online or on DVD), and I think this is one of those shows that could have benefited from lack of adverts in the middle.
The titular 0-8-4 in fact refers to a Hydra weapon, based in a set of jungle ruins in Peru. The last 0-8-4 that Coulson was assigned to was in fact a giant hammer – as explained in one of the better scenes of the episode, proving that the best thing about this show, especially when you take the post-credits sequence starring Samuel L. Jackson, giving Coulson a dressing down for ruining his plane already into account, are the references to the wider universe. However, whilst this episode contains some decent connections, it fails to correct the virtually zero chemistry that the team has between each other. Clark Gregg (Coulson), and Ming-Na Wen (Melinda May) are probably the highlights this time around, although Ward, Fitz and Simmons don't make things as entertaining as they should, and Skye was just annoying, with that ever so predictable twist that she is a double agent providing no shocking moment whatsoever, as well as any other twist that attempted to come our way, for example – when the soldiers that had been taken onboard the plane rebelled. Seriously, who didn't see that coming?
On the plus side though, the expensive budget that this show has really allows for some great special effects. In the final act, the fight on the "bus" is easily the best thing of the entire episode (minus the end-credits scene), and whilst we haven't quite seen the flying car used yet in a scene which really called for its use – the resolution was still polished off pretty well.
Will I be watching next week's episode? Yes, I think. This show has room to improve, and of course, I want to try and catch the many Marvel references. It's a shame that J. Augustus Richards and Ron Glass only appeared to be guest stars – much like Samuel L. Jackson does in this episode, but more Clark Gregg is always a good thing. However, I won't be looking forward to it as eagerly as say, Arrow's return (3 days, people – 3 Days!), or the fifth episodes of Orphan Black and Peaky Blinders.

Hi and welcome!
Although thejackhome exists since 2009, you probably never saw it the same way throughout the years.
Once designed with only the old but good HTML + CSS combination, it went through different redesigns and frameworks (Joomla and Wordpress among all).
What you see today is the final version I could agree with myself: a self built custom theme powered by the a flat file CMS called Grav.
Unlike the usual and most commonly used CMS, Grav is totally running with PHP and local files. No database at all which makes it incredibly fast and easy to move around.
Even the purpose of this web space has never been the same: it has been a placeholder to my thoughts for sure, but it is and it will always be the battleground for my web experiments mostly.
Today it is a place where I try to share few things I learned in my life, mainly around coding and excel tutorials.
Being an autodidact, I learned a lot through trial and error, therefore any feedback is always much appreciated.
Behind the curtain
Jack is my nickname and I am a Business Analyst / Project Manager currently based in Germany.
I speak 4 languages, currently blogging in 2 (Italian and English).
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, trying-to-write code or elbowing my way in the gaming world, especially Battlefield game series on PS4.
Currently using
