Hello, I decided to set up a fundraiser to stop the coronavirus pandemic. It is possible that this is a drop in the ocean of needs but it's better than doing nothing. You can send money to this link: #StopCoronavirus or to any other organization trying to stop COVID-19.
Everyone, please take care of yourselves!!!

Swoosh!!! In the sky, a scorched smell drifted through the air. Xu Yangyi hadn't held anything back in this blade. Against such an ancient cultivator, whom he could barely sense the enormous pressure of, holding back would just make the fight harder on him.
The woman still hadn't opened her eyes. Soon, Falling Moon was hacking straight down on her head, yet she was without any reaction.
The blade silently paused, chopped above the crown of the woman's head.
No… Xu Yangyi narrowed his eyes. Falling Moon hadn't landed.
A finger, a sparkling, crystalline finger of jade, softly tapped down on the blade's edge. Falling Moon had been firmly nailed a centimeter away from her head. It hadn't advanced this inch.
"The Empress's Hidden Merits," the woman said apathetically. "To be able to die under the arcane effort of the Nalan Clan's founder is your good fortune."
Yet before her voice even fell, her hair bun suddenly scattered!
Swoosh! The woman opened her eyes for the first time and watched her ebony cascade of hair fall down, in some astonishment. Her hair draped over both of her shoulders.
Falling Moon was equipped with its own automatic GPS. So long as it took aim it was bound to hit target!
Even if she was stronger, Nalan Liusu was still Qi Condensation!
The woman's pupils were strangely white, yet her sclera was black. She used her pinky finger to lift up a hair. "I underestimated you a little." Her hair ornament followed the scattering of her hair and gently fell down. However, she caught it out of midair in her hand. She softly placed it in front of her. "I originally wanted to say a few more things to you, but the price of dragging this on a moment more is hundreds of spirit stones. For the purpose of the Nalan Clan, why don't you die?"
"One move."
Her voice yet to fade… the qi around her was already madly gathering! Behind her, a likeness of Guanyin formed, about two to three meters tall, brows kind and eyes amiable. At the same time, the hair ornament in her hand transformed into a pure-white beam of light! All that was visible was her faint shaking, and an alabaster light screen flashed in front of Xu Yangyi!
Behind the screen of light, her figure had become a white rainbow! She seemed not to hold a hair ornament, but rather a sword of peerless renown!
The hand without sword, the sword within the heart!
Bereft of any hesitation, the three dots of light on Xu Yangyi's left arm shone in sync! A massive shield appeared in front of him!
He understood the woman's manifestation wasn't a screen of white light… On the edge of peril, she had instantly stabbed out with thousands of hair ornament phantasms! Irrespective of first or last, undivided by either strong or weak! Her attacks had all pierced out at the same time, to then form this dazzling curtain!
What godly speed!
Clang clang clang! Crisp rain played the sound of the pipa. Less than a second later, the enormous shield broke with a rumble!
Chunks of the red qi shield fell before Xu Yangyi's astonished face. In the air, they transformed into spiritual light and disappeared.
One of the Ketu-Rahu Sword's three forms… actually hadn't managed to block for a second!
But at this moment, the woman's white pupils flashed, and two butterfly wings quickly swung open at her back!
Behind her, though, was a domain of shadow weapons aiming at her mid-back. If she continued to press her attack, and stabbed Xu Yangyi at the same time like so, these weapons would destroy her fleshly body!
Ten Thousand Shadows Heavenly Punishment!
"The Empress's Hidden Merits…" The woman didn't evade at all, golden light actually bursting out of her eyes. She said softly, "Dominating Body!"
Clang clang clang! Sharp echoes were heard. The two wings behind her wrapped around her entire body, like armor! The Ten Thousand Shadows Heavenly Punishment was actually unable to pierce through!
Yet in this instant of distraction, Xu Yangyi was no longer retreating but advancing, his body up above! He was facing the tide-like sea of white light!
"Wind Brandishes Traces! Starfire!" With a double combination, his body transformed into an afterimage! The woman's expression was cold and detached. With Xu Yangyi's cultivation, meeting her move was no doubt certain to bring his death.
In this twinkling, however, her gaze chilled. Hanging in the air, Xu Yangyi punched out. On his fist, a streak of resplendent golden light was unstably sucking in and spitting out of his hand! In the wake of this golden spark, the surrounding white light actually peeled away layer after layer!
Surprisingly, he was like a roaming dragon entering the sea! Endless waters parted!
"This…" The woman's pupils suddenly needled. This streak of golden light was as fast as racing thunder, even causing her to feel a shred of danger!
"If you want to compare who is more fierce…" After recovering from her shock, her eyes likewise arose with a trace of determination!
One move to decide victory or defeat!
Good…. Since that's how you're thinking, I'll help you accomplish your aim!
In the next second, the light screen changed.
It was like a celestial maiden sprinkling flowers! The entire space reflected her image! This attack was of different position and different angle, yet it was still just as swift and fearsome, shrouding each of Xu Yangyi's vitals all over his body!
One side was in a perilous state, between raging waves and stormy seas! The other side was a lone force to cleave through myriad methods! A single point to break the surface!
BANG!!! A loud noise boomed. At the collision site, the shock wave of a dazzling qi orb loudly exploded, turning the entire space pure-white!
Just as the duo's silhouettes were on the verge of contact, they immediately separated! They were both like kites cut of their strings, flying back several meters away from each other! One after another, they slammed against walls!
Xu Yangyi was the first to stand, clenching down on his teeth. He seemed to be enduring something and said lowly, "This move… what's its name?"
"Men cannot bear to see it. So long as you are a man, it goes unseen." The woman's feet finally fell to the ground, a trace of graveness rising in her gaze for the first time. She spread open her hand, and a golden sword point sparkled, deeply stabbed into her palm. She said calmly, "And this is?"
"Xuan Yuan." Xu Yangyi licked his lips. In the next second, his entire body violently shivered, and countless lines of blood spilled out from under the Shadowlumen Armor! Those hair ornaments had actually penetrated his armor and turned him into a sieve!
At the same time, the woman released a heavy groan. The palm of her left hand loudly collapsed! Upon crumbling apart, though, the sword point also followed!
Xu Yangyi took a deep breath. It was very likely… that this sword point was from the counterfeit Xuan-Yuan Sword. The blade has accompanied him out of Danixa Temple and Tianzi Mountain. Now, however, it had been broken by this woman's fleshly body!
"One move." He wasn't kneeling down because of sharp pain, but rather resisting the ache to step forward with great difficulty. Under his left eye, a deep scar of blood quietly appeared, adding a shade of wild charm to his originally firm and unswerving countenance. He wiped the blood away with his thumb and then placed it at his mouth and licked. "How long can you drag out your spiritual sense?"
The woman was silent for a second and uttered, "As long as you are willing."
"You've given me quite a surprise… so I will grant you an unexpected delight."
Following these words, all the air around her began to quake! Even space was vibrating!
Swoosh! A white strand of qi extended out from an unknown place and immediately zoomed as it rippled! It was like an ocean tide! In the space around them… legions of qi threads gushed forth like a tide!
Rumble… Xu Yangyi's expression was incomparably grave, because he now sensed… all qi frantically bubbling into Nalan Liusu!
The holy maiden seemed to transform into the eye of a hurricane as she infinitely sucked in the surrounding qi! Her spiritual pressure was completely different from before, possessing a difference of substance and even carrying a shred of Foundation Establishment aura. Like a tsunami, it engulfed the entire area!
"Fuck…" Xu Yangyi tightened his hold over Falling Moon. "This… is her true cultivation…"
"Was she only fooling around with me just now?"
At the Bluedawn Winding Corridor, the ten-odd impermanants all looked at Nalan Liusu's life slip in astonishment. Moments ago, this jade slip had erupted with endless golden light! It had struggled free of the impermanant's hand and floated up in midair!
"A hundred percent…" an impermanant gasped. "The holy maiden… actually utilised her total cultivation… Where in the world does this d-divine sage come from?!"
"Unbelievable… When the holy maiden exterminated the Tao Clan, she mobilized sixty percent of her strength… but she's now actually used her total cultivation!"
"T-This is the first time I've seen the holy maiden attack with full strength…"
"She should've demonized… The holy maiden actually revealed her demon form… Is the enemy too difficult?"
In the Crimson Rakshasa's cave, Nalan Cuo raised a brow. Although his expression was soft, the Crimson Rakshasa beside him caught it in her eye.
"Nothing." Nalan Cuo bowed and said. "The seventh Reincarnation Puppet… Holy Maiden Liusu seems to have just used her complete strength."
"All of it?" Unstirred by great billows, the woman-spider was stunned as well. She turned her head and looked at Nalan Cuo, sighing soon afterwards. "In that case… observe a moment of silence for her opponent..."
"If this woman was still alive, This Palace would be absolutely unconvinced if her name was not among the list of Core Formation."
Inside the Reincarnation Puppet's body, Xu Yangyi gnashed his teeth. His footsteps were in ceaseless retreat.
Presently, the entire space was a pure-white domain. In the sky above and the earth below, everything to the four reaches was a world of silk! In the middle of it was a two-meter-sized cocoon that was gently wiggling.
It wasn't that Xu Yangyi wanted to flee, but a spiritual sense he was in no way capable of advancing towards was emanating through the air! The horrific spiritual pressure completely erupted! Unexpectedly like a hand, it pushed him back with no margin to forge ahead!
Crack… Crack… A slight cracking noise came from the cocoon. The entire process might've lasted for less than several seconds, yet in the wake of this sound an explosion of qi burst forth like a tide! It was as if Xu Yangyi's stomach had become victim to sledgehammer blows, like an invisible hand was viciously swatting him away! He groaned heavily and suddenly fell back by over a meter! Crackling sounds were drawn from the ground!
Soundlessly, the cocoon split open. A graceful silhouette slowly stood out. Nothing could be clearly seen here, yet Nalan Liusu's outer figure appeared no different from that of moments ago!
Meanwhile, the tiny cocoon inside Xu Yangyi's dantian was also making nigh inaudible cracking noises! The cocoon's surface split open with a faintly imperceptible crack! And yet the current Xu Yangyi had summoned his total concentration, simply not detecting the movement!
"Damn…" He glared daggers at the layers of silk behind him and then at the feminine silhouette that seemed to be looking at her hand. "She really is a fucking monster!"
"Her qi… can actually still advance!"
Indeed, what caused him to retreat was not Great Circle Qi Condensation. Instead… it was half-step Foundation Establishment!
Just as his voice fell, the view in front of him blurred, and an object shockingly emerged before his eyes! It wasn't until that thing smiled at him did he jolt awake!
Fast! So fast!
His neurons hadn't even reacted in time! That… thing... could no longer be called human.
She still wore Nalan Liusu's face, but from head to toe, not a thread of clothing covered her modesty. Furthermore, she was unlike the low-level cultivators of the Nalan Clan, their upper-halves human and their lower-bodies spider. Instead, she was completely armored in keratin plates. If a comparison was to be insisted upon, he had once played a game called Starcraft. Nalan Liusu was about seventy percent similar to a character called the Queen of Blades.
The maiden's face was without a shred of emotion. She merely extended her hand in ease and slapped out at him! There were no fancy tricks whatsoever. A palm, light as a feather, not fast or even bringing the sound of wind. At the same time though, Xu Yangyi's pupils violently constricted!
He felt a mountain!
An incredibly towering mountain rushing right at him!
"Ten Cardinals Red Lotus! Shield!" Without any hesitation, two wings criss-crossed to protect the front of his chest, and a black dragon coiled around the Shadowlumen Armor! In the next second… an indescribable momentum instantly slammed his body away!
BOOM!Bang bang! Three sounds rang out almost simultaneously!
"Puh!" Xu Yangyi was unable hold back a mouthful of blood, tracing a dark-red smear of blood in the air. His Shadowlumen Armor and Ketu-Rahu Sword had almost collapsed at the same time! The flame just risen from the Ten Cardinals Red Lotus went up in smoke!
That strike just now was as heavy as Mount Tai!
A momentary break had rose up in his consciousness. Immediately, he flipped back, and three dots of light on his left arm flickered to life!
Swoosh! A domain of black mist radiated around him. He couldn't delay any longer, and used his strongest move. If he still couldn't defeat this devil… then everything would end here!
His parents' enmity, the Xingtian Legion's wild hopes, and… his life.

"According to this, the Scary Ferry to the Monster of Liberty should be just a little bit farther."
Lately one of the things that Monster High has done consistently and consistently well is to make sure each film has a different monster driving the story. This time around it's Cleo's (Salli Saffioti) turn to stand in the spotlight and Monster High's biggest diva is a natural choice for the franchise's first foray into the world of full-blown musicals. That's right, Monster High: Boo York, Boo York is the first full-fledged musical produced by Mattel for the series.
When Cleo gets the call from her father Ramses (Audu Paden) and sister Nefera (Wendee Lee) to attend a once in a millennium gala in Boo York of course Cleo's going to give the people what they want and take not one but all of her ghoulfriends. One of those friends is Catty Noir (Missi Hale), the pop star who gave up a life in the limelight for life as a student at Monster High. This leads us to another example of something else Monster High does well, and that is introduce new monsters in every movie, about four apiece. Not only do we get to know Catty better this time around we also meet the comet alien Astranova (Erin Fitzgerald), the native eastsider Mousecedes King (Rachel Staman), DJ Elle Eedee (Laura Bailey), Luna Mothews (Laura Weisman), the moth girl who dreams of starring on Bloodway, and Pharaoh (TJ Smith), one of Boo York's most popular underground rappers.
But while Cleo thinks she's there to witness the first public unveiling of the piece of the legendary Cosmic Comet she doesn't understand that something more nefarious is going on. And speaking of nefarious the plot is conceived of and executed by none other than Cleo's very own sister Nefera. Any promises made under the light of The Cosmic Comet is considered binding for all time. So naturally the two most powerful families in the Egyptian world, the Ptolemies and the DeNiles, see this as an opportunity to form the most powerful dynasty the world has ever known. The problem with that? They need to announce an engagement. And while originally the thought is Nefera would be engaged to Madame Ptolemy's son Seth (TJ Smith), Nefera would much rather have her freedom while maintaining all of that lovely power, thanks. The solution? Get little sister Cleo to be the one who gets engaged to Seth. Of course there is the tiny problem of Deuce (Evan Smith), Cleo's boyfriend. But that's not really much of a problem, and indeed with only a few well-placed words and actions Deuce is out of the picture, leaving Cleo free to get engaged. Of course Cleo's not the only ghoul involved in this engagement and it's here we end up focusing.
This is not a film with unexpected twists and turns by any means but that's not to say that it's without charm. And while I may not be overly fond of the hip-hop heavy musical numbers I can still appreciate their application and success in this instance. The singers are talented and the music fuses with the story and adds a very typical musical feel, meaning that characters break into song not only to express their feelings but to move the story along as well. It's an ambitious change in direction for the Monster High franchise but I think it works well.
Another notable addition to this movie in particular and something which may or may not become a trend is showing not just one but two parents this time around. During the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con panel one of the questions asked of the creators was would we get to see our ghouls' parents? And it seems as though that note was taken under advisement as Madam Ptolemy and Ramses become only the second and third parents shown in a Monster High movie. Thus far we have only seen Robecca Steam's father so it was a nice change to see more adults and how their relationships with their kids influence the stories we're being told.
Technical specs are in keeping with what's become expected in the most recent Blu-ray additions to the Monster High franchise. The video is a 1080p High-Definition Widescreen 1.78:1 transfer with a palette focusing on darker shades of greens, golds, and black. The animation seems to be at a plateau for now and it's light years from where it was in the beginning of the releases but also not up to the standards of a studio which throws tons of money at their animation projects like Pixar or Disney. Still, the target audience will not find any complaints here or on the audio side of things. A DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track in English with two 5.1 DTS Digital Surround tracks in French and Spanish are the options. And in a musical the audio needs to be on point and these tracks more than hold their own with a nicely rich soundscape.
Monster High: Boo York, Boo York (Blu-ray) comes with three special features. Numbers one and two are different copies of the film in the form of an Ultraviolet Code and a DVD copy as well. There is a 45 minute episode of Monster High sister show Ever After High, which deals with the sons and daughters of fairy tale characters. There is a little teaser at the end of the Monster High: Boo York, Boo York credit sequence, showing Astranova speaking with two Ever After High students, possibly hinting at a future crossover between the two series or giving a nod to the special feature.
Taking into account the bold new direction of the franchise paired with the staples of our regular stable of ghouls accompanied with the introduction of some new characters all adds up to a success for me. While it's not clear whether or not this musical foray is a one off in terms of the Monster High legacy it still works both as a standalone movie and as an entry into this world. I think fans of the series will find plenty to enjoy and as long as newbies understand the musical element is so far contained within this one movie alone it also can serve to introduce new viewers to the Monster High ghouls. The theme of being true to yourself is consistent and something which continues to impress parents.
These ghouls definitely took a bite out of the big city.Monster High: Boo York, Boo York (Blu-ray) 2015, Universal,72 minutes, NR (2015)

April, May June 2019
– On the first day of April in many countries of Europe, children…and even some adults…like to stick a picture of a fish on someone's back as a joke or tell an almost-believable story which they finish by shouting "April Fool!"
– But in April, the feast of Easter is not an April Fool. For Christians, this festival reminds us that Jesus was condemned to death on a cross. He had done nothing wrong – he had simply said he was the Son of God. The religious people of his country asked for him to be crucified.
– These days, too, extremists in several countries persecute Christians, especially those who dare to openly declare that Jesus is truly the Son of God, the saviour, theway, the truth and the life. But we also need to be clear that Jesus did not stay dead. In the last book of the Bible, you can read, "I was dead but now I am alive forever". It is Jesus himselfwho says this in Revelation 1:18.
– Another celebration for Christians: the ascension. On this day we remember that 40 days after Jesus was raised from the dead (the resurrection) and proved he was alive, He went back to Heaven, God's House. Jesus came from heaven and went back to heaven, to the glory of God, to prepare a place for us to be with Him forever. At least…if that's what we want!
– In May, Francine, Emiliya and Alan will go to Diego-Suarez in the northern region of Madagascar. It will be great to again see Roger and Hanta Rakotoarijao from "Midem" and Emma from the association "Save the Street Children". Together, we will meet with children and with churches. Our aim? To proclaim the good news of Jesus, so that they can live a new life.
– The first weekend of June sees children from several churches in Luxembourg come together "Around Jesus". The activities are organised by the Grow-Up association.
– And yet another Christian festival: Pentecost. This celebration centres on the things that happened fifty days after Easter in Jerusalem. You can read about it in the Bible in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2.
Just as Jesus had promised, the Holy Spirit came to fill those who had opened their hearts to Jesus. And it is still possible…for us…today! Awesome!

Iris is having its fragrant moment in the sun. Think: Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile. Or Prada's version. Frederic Malle's Iris Poudre. There are veritable fields of iris in Chanel's 28 La Pausa, too, within their Les Exclusifs collection. But this offering from Donna Karan – her upmarket scent portfolio, not the funky juice that sometimes comes in (hmmm) apple-shaped bottles – is definitely not just a 'me-too', tapping into the iris trend: it's worthy of an encounter, a romantic encounter, in its own right. In fragrance circles, iris is known as 'orris', not iris – and it's a valuable fixative, giving scents extra staying power on the skin. But that's not primarily orris's use: it's sweetie-like (I'm always reminded of Love Hearts), almost baby powder-esque, soft and sensual. It also costs a small fortune, not least because orris/iris roots must be left for at least four years to 'mature' – a bit like vintage wine – before they offer up their fragrant bounty for a perfumer to play with. Not for nothing is iris known as the 'molten gold' of perfumery: one ton of iris roots are concentrated down to around 50 ml of iris absolute. Donna's version features both orris butter (wax-like, and extracted by steam distillation), and iris absolute (iris oil).
Now, in the wrong hands, iris can be frankly icky – as can violet flower, which also features here. Yet here, those sweet elements swirl with magnolia and rose de Mai – and the result is fresh and spring-like, almost fragile, not cloying or heavy. (Although Donna Karan don't announce it in their marketing blurb, I'd swear there's a touch of lily of the valley in there, too. I definitely get echoes of Diorissimo, as it prettily fades.)
Cut to some hours later: the mellow sweetness of ambrette seed, and a hint, just a hint of wonderful earthy vetiver, are what you're mostly left with. (Me? As an unreconstructed vetiver-aholic, I'm more than happy with that.) Once upon a time, during the Renaissance – and don't you wish you'd been there? – gloves were filled with orris powder, to be time-released as the wearer wafted their hands around. In its tall, dark and handsome black glass bottle, this is the modern-day version of the iris-scented glove. Happy wafting.

Is AMD Dual Core Optimizer Actually Necessary In Windows 7? - [Solved] - Windows 7
Terminology[ edit ] The terms multi-core and dual-core most commonly refer to some sort of central processing unit CPUbut are sometimes also applied to digital signal processors DSP and system on a chip SoC. The terms are generally used only to refer to multi-core microprocessors that HP AMD Dual-Core Processor Optimizer manufactured on the same integrated circuit die ; separate microprocessor dies in the same package are generally referred to by another name, such as multi-chip module.
This article uses the terms "multi-core" and "dual-core" for CPUs manufactured on the same integrated circuit, unless otherwise noted.
In contrast to multi-core systems, the term multi-CPU refers to multiple physically separate processing-units which HP AMD Dual-Core Processor Optimizer contain special circuitry to facilitate communication between each other. The terms many-core and massively multi-core are sometimes used to describe multi-core architectures with an especially high number of cores tens to thousands [4].
Each "core" can be considered a " semiconductor intellectual property core " as well as a CPU core. These physical limitations can cause significant heat dissipation and data synchronization problems.
Various other methods are used to improve CPU performance. Some instruction-level parallelism ILP methods such as superscalar pipelining are suitable for many applications, but are inefficient for others that contain difficult-to-predict code.

A combination of increased available space due to refined manufacturing processes and the demand for increased TLP led to the development of multi-core CPUs. Commercial incentives[ edit ] Several business motives HP AMD Dual-Core Processor Optimizer the development of multi-core architectures. For decades, it was possible to improve performance of a CPU by shrinking the area of the integrated circuit ICwhich reduced the cost per device on the IC.
Alternatively, for the same circuit area, more transistors could be used in the design, which increased functionality, especially for complex instruction set computing CISC architectures.
Clock rates also increased by orders of magnitude in the decades of the late 20th century, from several megahertz in the s to several gigahertz in the early s. As the rate of clock speed improvements slowed, increased use of parallel computing in the form of multi-core HP AMD Dual-Core Processor Optimizer has been pursued to improve overall processing performance.
Multiple cores were used on the same CPU chip, which could then lead to better sales of CPU chips with two or more cores.
HP BWAX (A, Radeon R5) Notebook Review - Reviews
For example, Intel has produced a core processor for research in cloud computing; each core has an x86 architecture. Using a proven processing-core design without architectural changes reduces design risk significantly. For general-purpose processors, much of the motivation for multi-core processors comes from greatly diminished gains in processor performance from increasing the operating frequency.
This is due to three primary factors: This, in effect, pushes for cache HP AMD Dual-Core Processor Optimizer to be larger in order to mask the latency of memory. This helps only to the extent that memory bandwidth is not the bottleneck in performance. The ILP wall; the increasing difficulty of finding enough parallelism in a single instruction stream to keep a high-performance single-core processor busy.
The power wall; the trend of consuming exponentially increasing power and thus also generating exponentially increasing heat with each factorial increase of operating frequency. This increase can be mitigated by " shrinking " the processor by using smaller traces for the same logic.
Multi-core processor - Wikipedia
The power wall poses manufacturing, system design and deployment problems that have not been justified in the face of the diminished gains in performance due to the memory wall and ILP HP AMD Dual-Core Processor Optimizer. In order to continue delivering regular performance improvements for general-purpose processors, manufacturers such as Intel and AMD have turned to multi-core designs, sacrificing lower manufacturing-costs for higher performance in some applications and systems.
Multi-core architectures are being developed, but so are the alternatives. An especially strong contender for established markets is the further integration of peripheral functions into the chip.
Advantages[ edit ] The proximity of multiple CPU cores on the same die allows the cache coherency circuitry to operate at HP AMD Dual-Core Processor Optimizer much higher clock rate than what is possible if the signals have to travel off-chip. Combining equivalent CPUs on a single die significantly improves the performance of cache snoop alternative: Put simply, this means that signals between different CPUs travel shorter distances, and therefore those signals degrade less.
These higher-quality signals allow more data to be sent in a given time period, since individual signals can be shorter and do not need to be repeated as often.

Be a man!
From the G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary line, the first Lady Jaye to come out had her in an unflattering hat. Finally, we have the proper un-hat-ted version.
When I was a kid, I saw Lady Jaye long before Scarlett. As a result, I always felt that Lady Jaye was the main female character and that Scarlett was too girly. Even now, it's kinda hard for me to take Scarlett seriously. She lacks the manliness that is Lady Jaye.
So, sculpt-wise this figure is pretty good. While there's something "off" about her face, which is probably mainly due to the pasty plastic-y coloration and being a tad on the wide side, this is a pretty good representation of the Jaye.
The body sculpt and so forth are all pretty good. I know Hasbro gets flak for… well, for whatever they can be given flak for, but they tend to do a bang up job on the sculpting and this here's a fine example of that. Lady Jaye is feminine without looking like a were-cow super heroine or a starving super model. Nor is she fragile, as is the case with many female toys.
Aside from the plastic-y face, the paint apps are pretty good. Hasbro's not known for extensive paintwork, but there are small touches here and there to add to Lady Jaye's rugged good looks.
Articulation is your standard Joe articulation. It's good and will get you the poses you'll want, especially if you use the included stand. But it's nowhere near the level of stuff like Motion Revive Series.
Accessories is also standard Joe fare. She comes with a stand and bio card of course. But also a quiver of trick arrows, a spear and a gun.
It's Lady Jaye. As far as I'm concerned, amongst my G.I. Joe, she's something of a mini-grail. I'm glad I got this version of her, regardless of whether or not it's the best one out there. If you have a Joe collection or heck, if you're thinking of getting the Rise of COBRA toys, and you need a female to balance out your ranks, 25th Anni Lady Jaye here oughta be near or at the top of your list.
I'd go so far as to say that you should avoid the non-super spandex versions of Scarlett and maybe even Covergirl from the ROC line in favor of the Jaye. She looks much more passable in her rugged green than they do in their "Street Fighter starring Jean Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia"-blue.
Pros: It's Lady Jaye, and she doesn't have the hat. Feminine enough for a girl, respectable enough for a MAN.
Cons: Nothing significant.

GIPA Act Contract Register
Division 5 of Part 3 of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (NSW) ("GIPA Act") requires the University to maintain a publicly available register of information about certain contracts between the University and private sector entities.
What must be recorded in the SCU Contracts Register?
SCU's Contracts Register is required to contain details about contracts:
- To which at least one private sector entity or individual is a party; and
- Which have or are likely to have a value of $150,000 or more,
and in which a party agrees to:
- Undertake a project such as construction, infrastructure or property development;
- Undertake the provision of specific goods or services;
- Transfer real property to another party; and/or
- Lease real property.
What information is not required to be published in the Register?
Contracts of employment are not required to be reported.
The University is also not required to publish the following confidential information in the Register:
- The commercial-in-confidence provisions of a contract, within the meaning of the definition of "commercial-in-confidence" from Schedule 1 of the GIPA Act;
- Details of any unsuccessful tender;
- Any matter that could reasonably be expected to affect public safety or security; or
- Any information for which there is an overriding public interest against disclosure. This is determined in accordance with the test set out in Division 2 of Part 2 of the GIPA Act.
What is the process for a contract to be recorded in the Register?
The University's Contract Procedures require that the work unit that negotiates a contract must provide a copy of the fully executed agreement to the Legal Office within 5 days of receipt. From that copy of the contract, the Legal Office will determined whether the contract meets the threshold for publication in the Register and, if so, will pre-fill as much of the form as possible before returning it to the work unit for the pre-filled information to be checked and for completion of any outstanding information.
In the case of arrangements being made and paid off invoices or purchase orders alone, it is the responsibility of the work unit to contact the Legal Office prior to payment to arrange for review of the terms and conditions contained in the invoice/purchase order or otherwise associated with the arrangement. At that time, the Legal Office will indicate whether the arrangement needs to be recorded in the register and, if so, will provide the work unit with a copy of the Contracts Register Form for completion.
How long will the information be kept in the SCU Contracts Register?
Information about the contracts or material variations must be included in the Register within 45 working days of execution or, for contracts with conditions precedent, of the contract becoming effective. The information (including a copy of the contract, in the case of class 3 contracts) must be included in the Register for either 20 working days or until the obligations under the contract have been satisfied, whichever is the longer period.
Classes of contracts
The GIPA Act identifies three classes of contracts:
- Class 1 Contract
Class 1 Contracts have a value of $150,000 or more. Most contracts entered into by the University following the usual tendering process will be Class 1 Contracts.
Class 2 Contracts
Class 2 Contracts are Class 1 Contracts valued at less than $5 million and for which one or more of the following apply:
- There has not been a tender process;
- The contract was the subject of a tender but the terms and conditions have been substantially negotiated with the contractor;
- The obligations of one or more parties under the contract are to maintain or operate infrastructure or assets and could continue for 10 years or more;
- The contract involves a privately financed project (according to the Treasury's guidelines); and/or
- The contract involves a transfer of a significant asset of SCU to another party in exchange for the transfer of an asset to SCU
- Class 3 Contracts
Class 3 Contracts are Class 2 Contracts with a value of more than $5 million.
The GIPA Act provides that certain information must be published (if applicable) for each contract class. Generally speaking, basic information is to be provided on all three classes, slightly more information for classes 2 and 3 and a copy of each Class 3 contract must also be made available with the Register. All of these data provision requirements are subject to the exceptions set out in section 32 of the GIPA Act, as described above under "What information is not required to be published in the Contracts Register?" For full details of the requirements refer to Division 5 of Part 3 of the GIPA Act.

Cool whips
I like the slang term for cars these days. Everyone wants to "pimp their ride", or as some like to say, ride in their "whip". But it's better to use whip in other ways. "Oh damn, did you see that whip accident on 95 yesterday? There were whips backed up for miles! It was a three whip pile up!" or "man, my sister got whip-jacked." "My whip is filthy, I'm going to the whip wash tonight after work." "This new whip has that new whip scent." I love that old Tracy Chapman song, "She's got a fast whip... speed so fast I can fly away" Oh man, I could go on and on.

Before the Central Park Five, There Was the Trenton SixBreaking News
tags: civil rights, Central Park Five
Dr. Denise Lynn is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Southern Indiana. Her research centers on women in the American Communist Party during the Popular Front. Follow her on Twitter @DeniseLynn13.
The four-part docuseries When They See Us, directed by Ava DuVernay, has brought attention to the notorious case of the Central Park Five, a legal case that for many of us unfolded in living memory. The attention the docuseries brought to the case has inspired historians to make comparisons to other cases involving the legal frame-up of young Black men. Carl Suddler and Heather Ann Thompson have cited cases like the Scottsboro boysand the Harlem Six as examples. Thompson argues that these cases reveal that the American "criminal justice system is a proxy for white anxieties about blackness and brownness in America." One of the cases Suddler specifically mentions is the Trenton Six, one that featured many of the same elements of the Central Park Five, including the targeting of a group of Black men with only precarious links to one another and the use of false confessions. It also features another element: the efforts and resistance of people and organizations to point out the regular use of police brutality and manipulation to control Black bodies and lives as well as to seek the exoneration of the men.
On January 27, 1948 in Trenton, New Jersey, William Horner and his wife were brutally attacked in their furniture store. William Horner would later die at the hospital; his wife Elizabeth claimed that three men were responsible for the attack. Another witness told the police he saw only two "light-skinned" Black men leave the building. Squads of police began monitoring Black neighborhoods, pulling men over and generally terrorizing peopleunder the direction of Trenton's director of public safety, Andrew J. Duch, who ordered that all Black men after dark be detained. By January 31, twenty men had been arrested. In the midst of this Collis English, a Navy veteran, was arrested on a complaint by his stepfather for using the family car without permission. His mother was told he would likely only be detained for an hour, but instead he never returned. Much like Korey Wise of the Central Park Five who only went to the station to support his friend, English's brother-in-law, McKinley Forest, went to the police station to ask after him but did not return. During his detention, the police asked English what he did on January 27, and while being questioned, he mentioned his friends Ralph Cooper and "Buddy" Wilson. Later that day the police arrested Cooper at his friend Horace Wilson's apartment, arresting Wilson as well. The police announced they had four men in custody for the murder, even after Elizabeth Horner could not identify them as the assailants. The police later arrested another man whose name English mentioned, James H. Thorpe Jr.
English's mother Emma called her daughter Bessie Mitchell concerned about the lengthy absences of both Collis and "Mac" McKinley Forest. Bessie, along with some friends, went to the police station demanding to see both Collis and Mac. She was allowed to speak to Mac, who had no idea why the police booked him and was never told under what charge. On February 10, the Trenton Evening Times ran the headline "Five Confess Brutal Killing of Merchant," accompanied by a picture of the five men. This was the first Emma or Bessie heard about the charges. The headline put the police on the spot, and that evening they forced confessions out of four of the men. Horace Wilson was the only holdout. The police returned to the English's the next morning asking for Jack Martin or Jack Kelly. Finding neither, they arrested Forest's nephew John MacKenzie. Historian Cathy Knepper emphasized in her book on the case that MacKenzie was the only man in good health and that he and English were the only ones who could read and write competently. The men were indicted for murder on February 17.
Why do cases like the Trenton Six and the Central Park Five happen and how can we stop them? Heather Ann Thompson argues that it would require not just a "fundamental restructuring of policing" in the United States, but a restructuring of housing, education, employment opportunities, etc.—in short, a substantial upheaval of racist American institutions and the white fragility that maintains them. The CPUSA and the CRC were deeply unpopular in their time and were legally harassed nearly out of existence; however, one lesson we can take from the groups' regular commitments to racial unity in the face of racist oppression is that to change an oppressive system, it is the people that have to force the change. The "ruling classes" will not do it.

We've all seen buses drive by with massive advertisements for a local car dealership or a restaurant franchise. If you are looking for creative ways for your business to advertise, car wraps are a great investment.
What is a Vehicle Wrap?
A vehicle wrap is a digitally printed advertisement wrapped around the exterior of a vehicle. It functions as a mobile billboard. Wraps encompass part or the whole exterior of the vehicle. For example, this vehicle was blue and beige before it was wrapped. This allows you no limits on what you can do with your vehicle.
What size companies are vehicle wraps best for?
Whether you have the budget for a large bus wrap or a vinyl wrap for your car, vehicle wraps are an incredible investment for big and small companies alike.
Benefits of Vehicle Wrap Advertising
According to a study by Arbitron, 9 out of 10 Americans ages 18+ have traveled the roads or rails. Outdoor advertising is effective and has a high likelihood of being noticed. A few other benefits of vehicle wrap advertising include:
- Reach a wider audience – This might be an obvious reason, as advertising works to reach a wider audience. But, vehicle wraps are mobile and able to reach further than a billboard or bench advertisement.
- Attention Grabbing – Bus wraps, car wraps, and van wraps are attention grabbing. It's hard to miss the advertisement when a huge head or colorful ad pulls up next to you at a stoplight.
- Local Market – Vehicle wraps are great for local markets. They catch people who are in the actual demographic
- Long Lasting – The average wrap typically has a lifespan of 3-5 years, which is about how long your current marketing strategy or even logo will last that you do at that time. It's good for a company to update their branding and logo about every 3-5 years as well.
Additional Info
If you're interested in ramping up your advertising game, give us a call. We have experience creating wraps for buses, vans, cars, and more! We understand that vehicle wraps are an investment and would love to answer any questions you have.

Legendary Entei is Pokemon Go's September Field Research Breakthrough reward
Starting in September, Pokemon Go players will have a fresh new chance to track down the Legendary Entei as part of the game's latest Field Research quest line.
Pokemon Go developer Niantic is moving forward with plans for the game's September Field Research tasks, the likes of which offer up special challenges and the option to earn Field Research stamps. Collect enough, and Pokemon Go players will be able to complete the Research Breakthrough and earn the Legendary creature Entei as reward.
Trainers, September is heating up with Field Research tasks focusing on Fire-type Pokémon! 🔥 Collect enough stamps during September to earn a Research Breakthrough and an opportunity to catch the Legendary Pokémon Entei! pic.twitter.com/U1jc0jV5mt— Pokémon GO (@PokemonGoApp) August 23, 2018
Entei is one of the more reliable hard-hitters to land in the Pokemon Go roster, and players who haven't yet added the creature to their Pokedex would be wise to do so next month. Not only would tracking down Entei give players a formidable fighter well-suited to a variety of situations, they'll also have the chance to score an additional Entei with a higher IV or just earn loads of extra candy.
There's still plenty of opportunities for Pokemon Go players to complete more Field Research quests and earn extra Johto-region creatures throughout the rest of August, including missions centered around the legendary Celebi. This window of opportunity will close at the end of the month, with Entei entering the arena starting in September.
More information about Pokemon Go's Field Research promotion can be found over on the official Pokemon Go website. For the latest updates surrounding Niantic's hit AR-based mobile sensation, be sure to keep it tuned right here to Shacknews.

Of my three wishes, the first national touring company of the 2014 Broadway show warmly and sometimes spectacularly grants two, but this Boston stop of the production only partially succeeds with the third.
BOSTON – Since the story of "Disney's Aladdin" is built around three wishes – granted by a genie in a bottle – my hopes for how the stage musical would interpret the classic 1992 Disney animated film can be boiled down to three wishes, too.
This was a movie that was pretty important to my daughters' childhood (yes, there's a small, well-worn Princess Jasmine costume sentimentally stored in my basement) so I hoped an extended stage production for a new generation would get it right. Of my three wishes, the first national touring company of the 2014 Broadway show warmly and sometimes spectacularly grants two, but this Boston stop of the production only partially succeeds with the third.
First, I wanted the heroes to remain just that: lovable, identifiable and good role models – brave, independent, kind, yet believably able to make mistakes and then try to set them right. Aladdin is an orphaned "street rat," poor, clever, a nice guy but unfortunately often thieving in the ancient Agrabah marketplace to survive. Clinton Greenspan is charming and convinces early on that he wants to earn his chance to live a good life, and his portrayal offers a winning combination of brashness and uncertainty. Aladdin grabs a possible chance to change his fate when Jafar – evil, plotting vizier to the sultan – convinces him to risk danger to retrieve a lamp that Aladdin doesn't realize is magic.
Isabelle McCalla's Jasmine is an appealingly independent, strong-minded young woman who can take care of herself in the Disney princess mold that mothers of daughters like to see. She wants to make her own choices and, while trying to experience the world beyond her palace, finds trouble and falls in love with Aladdin. The chemistry between the actors is convincing, possibly in part because the two are a couple offstage, too.
The beating heart of the success of the 1992 film was the wish-granting genie who emerges from the lamp, memorably voiced in a stream of fast improvisation by Robin Williams. The stage musical wisely doesn't try to replicate Williams, with Michael James Scott sunnily and mischievously offering a different kind of funny, smart-alecky and adorable character who still talks fast and drops a myriad of pop-culture and Disney references.
My second wish for a stage adaptation would be for, well, magic. That this show would be impressive enough to entertain adults yet leave the children wide-eyed with awe and delight at the spectacle and possibilities of live theater. Director/choreographer Casey Nicholaw goes satisfyingly big with every scene and athletic dance number, and Gregg Barnes' costumes are a kaleidoscope of bright colors and voluminous, shiny fabric, with scarves, feathers, fringe, beads and more. The special effects are a huge plus, from moving projections to the stunner of a star-studded sky when Aladdin and Jasmine fly off on a pivotal magic-carpet ride. The Cave of Wonders where Aladdin finds the lamp fills the stage with near-blinding gold and – in a different kind of wonder – everything from magic tricks to a small army of sparkly tap dancers turn the Oscar-nominated "Friend Like Me" song into the very definition of a show-stopping production number. And can there be a gold sequin left anywhere on the East Coast after all these costumes and sets have been made?
My third wish was that the stage musical be its own piece of theater, not slavishly mimicking the film. And, beyond the switch in genie personality, there are many changes from the movie, though the main storyline of Aladdin wishing himself into becoming a prince to be able to marry Jasmine remains intact. The award-winning Alan Menken-Howard Ashman/Tim Rice score is still here, too, though songs (some cut from the movie, some new) have been added.
Most successful among the new is the lovely "Proud of Your Boy," which adds a depth of feeling as Aladdin tells his dead mother that he will make her proud. A song about Jasmine's desire to be her own woman, "These Palace Walls," is also strong, along with the new duet "A Million Miles Away."
There also are new characters: The stage show replaces the heroes' animal friends with human ones, and Aladdin's buddies – Babkak, Omar and Kassim – are the most winning and welcome. That said, a majority of the unsuccessful jokes added to the script fall to this trio, and they are featured in two new songs in Act 2 that feel like padding to make parents feel like they're getting their money's worth. (And sub-par padding at that: Lyrics like "OMG, the guys are BFFs!" aren't exactly bon mots for the ages.)
Lucky that the actors playing the trio – Zach Bencal, Philippe Arroyo and Jed Feder – are so likable. While Jonathan Weir is smoothly and sneeringly evil as Jafar, Jay Paranada doesn't fare as well as the human version of his minion Iago; he becomes grating fast and has the rest of the "jokes" that fall flat.
While there are bumps, "Aladdin" is a highly enjoyable and successful Disney stage adaptation a large majority of the time, and a wonderful potential entree for children into theater magic. If only Chad Beguelin's book and new lyrics trusted that the story would work well enough on its own without references to overeating, Oprah, bromance and other "funny" topics. I wish ...

The film primarily covers the final twelve hours of Jesus' life, beginning with the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the insomniaand grievance of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the brutal scourge and crucifixion, ending with a brief depiction of his resurrection. It was shot in Italy, and the dialogue is entirely in reconstructed Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin.
The film has been controversial and received largely polarised reviews, with some critics calling the film a religious classic while others found the extreme violence distracting and excessive, and claimed that the film subliminally promoted antisemitism.The film grossed $612 million worldwide and was the 9th highest grossing film domestically at the end of its theatrical run. It received three Academy Award nominations in 2005. As of 2018, it is the highest grossing R-rated film in the United States.
The film opens in Gethsemane as Jesus prays and is tempted by Satan, while his apostles, Peter, James and John sleep. After receiving thirty pieces of silver, one of Jesus' other apostles, Judas, approaches with the temple guards and betrays Jesus with a kiss on the cheek. As the guards move in to arrest Jesus, Peter cuts off the ear of Malchus, but Jesus heals the ear. As the apostles flee, the temple guards arrest Jesus and beat him during the journey to the Sanhedrin. John tells Mary and Mary Magdalene of the arrest while Peter follows Jesus at a distance. Caiaphas holds trial over the objection of some of the other priests, who are expelled from the court. When questioned by Caiaphas whether he is the son of God, Jesus replies "I am." Caiaphas is horrified and tears his robes and Jesus is condemned to death for blasphemy. Peter, who is secretly watching, is confronted and three times denies knowing Jesus, but then runs away sobbing after remembering that Jesus had foretold that. Meanwhile, the remorseful Judas attempts to return the money to have Jesus freed but is refused by the priests. Tormented by demons, he flees the city and hangs himself with a rope he finds on a dead donkey.
Caiaphas brings Jesus before Pontius Pilate to be condemned to death, but after questioning Jesus and finding no fault in him, Pilate sends him instead to the court of Herod, as Jesus is from Herod's ruling town of Nazareth. After Jesus is again found not guilty and returned, Pilate offers the crowd that he will chastise Jesus and then will set him free. He then attempts to have Jesus freed by giving the people an option of freeing Jesus or the violent criminal Barabbas. To his dismay, the crowd demands to have Barabbas freed and Jesus killed. In an attempt to appease the crowd, Pilate has Jesus brutally scourged and mocked with a crown of thorns. However, the crowd continues to demand that Jesus be crucified, and Barabbas released. Pilate washes his hands and reluctantly orders Jesus' crucifixion.
As Jesus carries the cross along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, Veronica wipes Jesus' face with her veil. Simon of Cyrene is unwillingly pressed into carrying the cross with Jesus. Jesus is then crucified. As he hangs from the cross, Jesus prays forgiveness for those who did this to him and redeems a criminal crucified next to him. After Jesus gives up his spirit and dies, a single drop of rain falls from the sky, triggering an earthquake which destroys the Temple and rips the cloth covering the Holy of Holies in two, to the horror of Caiaphas and the other priests. Satan is then shown screaming in defeat. Jesus is taken down from the cross. In the end, Jesus rises from the dead and exits the tomb.
The film was a major commercial hit, budgeted at only $30M and grossing in excess of $600 million during its theatrical release, becoming the highest grossing non-English language film of all time and the most successful biblical related film since Ben-Hur (1959). The movie grossed US$611,899,420 worldwide and $370,782,930 in the US alone,[59] surpassing any motion picture starring Gibson.In US box offices, it became the eighth (at the time) highest-grossing film in history and the highest-grossing rated R film of all time. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards and won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Dramatic Motion Picture.The film has also been highly controversial and received mixed reviews, with some critics claiming that the extreme violence in the movie "obscures its message."
Title ChangeEdit
Although Gibson wanted to call his film The Passion, on October 16, 2003 his spokesman announced that the title used in the United States would be The Passion of Christ because Miramax had already registered the title The Passion with the MPAA for the 1987 novel by Jeanette Winterson. Later, the title was changed again to The Passion of the Christ for all markets.

Soaking the feet softens the dead skin cells, making them simpler to eradicate. Using some sort of cutter or sharp object to get rid of them should really be avoided due to the fact it's not necessary to take a chance on slicing on good skin to get rid of them. Injuring the good skin can not only be painful, but it could cause and infection to take over and definitely cause problems. RA is a systemic disease and will commonly produce generalized symptoms of fatigue, fever, loss of appetite and energy, and anemia (poor oxygen distribution to the body) adding to the symptoms of tiring easily.
Alright then, how do we make it go away? Getting to a podiatrist quick! To be honest, healing a plantar plate injury is very difficult. But the sooner you have it diagnosed the easier it is to control the pain. Notice how I didn't say cure. Once you have a plantar plate injury, you are always more prone to injuring it over and over. With proper support, off-loading (taking the pressure off the ball of the foot) and even sometimes through physical therapy, we can get to stop hurting. Don't assume your pain will go away on its own. If this is any incentive, see your podiatrist today!!
Metatarsalgia – This is a common cause of ball of foot pain Metatarsalgia can be triggered by nerve damage or an abnormality in the bones or joints at the ball of the foot Due to excess pressure or friction, one or more of the metatarsal heads become inflamed, usually under the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsal heads. Freiberg's Disease – This disease is where the tissue of the bones at the ball of foot dies. It usually occurs at the second metatarsal head (The base of the toe next to the big toe). Pain is most severe when bearing weight or pushing off with the foot
plantar flexors Are those that pull the foot back. Thus are located in the back of the leg in the calf They are the soleus and the twins with the Achilles tendon, which is common to both. evertors foot The peroneus longus and peroneus brevis is inserted into the first cuneiform and first metatarsal base while the anterior peroneal inserted into the bases of the fourth and fifth. I am a biology teacher by profession and have very keen interest in educating people about various new techniques in medical field one of them being human foot and ankle anatomy
The immediate remedy for this disorder is rest. Prevent pressure from being applied to your feet. Soaking the feet in ice and cold water may help soothe the pressure and eventually dampen the pain. Wearing proper footwear and shock-absorbent shoes also helps prevent the progression of metatarsalgia. Since this is more a strain than a disease, metatarsalgia is very simple to avoid and treat. More often than not, this disorder is simply a byproduct of bad maintenance and improper foot care. As we mentioned that avoiding uncomfortable shoes is also important, you can read the article on walking shoes for plantar fasciitis for more information.
The researchers cautioned that any changes should be done slowly and gradually, as making th change may itself cause injuries. Many people who suddenly switch to barefoot running or to landing on the front part of the foot get injured. Change your running gait and form can affect various parts of the leg and running efficiency. The researchers suggest making gradual changes such as landing on the ball of your foot for about 5-10 minutes at first, during each run. Most people show some variation in footstrike anyway, and so gradual changes should not be a radical change. The transition should be discontinued if the runner develops significant soreness.
Shoes that are too small are one of the major causes of foot pain and problems with athletic footwear; however, soccer boots should naturally fit more snugly than other athletic boots because of their design. Generally less expensive than leather shoes, but do not offer as good a feel and do not last as long as a well-cared for leather boot Adidas, Puma, Umbro and Mizuno are excellent boots for players with widht feet. If you do not have widht feet you might wanna go for Nike. Non-removeable rubber, or hard plastic formed on the bottom of the shoe is used to help provide traction and control

The temporary nerve block used in the current study is a useful model of paralysis, but it does not replicate the chronic changes that occur after prolonged brain and spinal cord injuries, Dr. Miller cautioned. He said the next steps include testing this system in primate models of long-term paralysis , and studying how the brain changes as it continues to use this neuroprosthesis. Tuning forks, however, are subjective in application, 'Brien explains, since the person administering the tuning fork test and the patient work together to estimate the time in which the patient loses awareness of the diminishing vibrations.

013 has managed once again to be a tour stop of a great combination of bands, this time the Greeks of POEM and the two Finnish bands Omnium Gatherum and Amorphis.
POEM was completely new to me to be honest, but what a surprise! Their somewhat progressive sound, worked really well live. Melancholic pieces and parts went hand-in-hand with more brutal parts, mixed with some oriental aspects. Tons of emotions and rock straight from the soul, as it should be. Great job guys, will definitely watch out for another concert!
After a short tag break Omnium Gatherum climbed the stage, for their last concert of this tour. Kicking off with The Pit, taken from their latest album Grey Heavens, it was a real pleasure from the beginning. Many new songs followed, such as Skyline, Frontiers and The Great Liberation. Great sound, great atmosphere – you could definitely see that the guys really enjoyed themselves, as did the audience. The 50 minutes therefore passed away way too quickly. New World Shadows closed off the evening for the guys.
At 21:15 it was time for the headliner of the night, Amorphis. Promoting their latest album Under The Red Cloud, it came as no surprise that many songs were taken from this brilliant record. Kicking off with the title track, it was followed by the first single, Sacrifice, and Bad Blood from the last record. As with the concert supporting Nightwish, the new songs work live really well. Next to these, Amorphis also played some older songs, e.g. from the Elegy (On Rich and Poor) and the Tales From the Thousand Lakes (Drowned Maid) albums. Next to these, like in any Amorphis concert, My Kantele and House of Sleep cannot be missed. The regular time was closed with Hopeless Days, before it was time for a three-song encore with Death of a King, Silver Bride and The Smoke. Overall a great evening with a great atmosphere, and kick-ass shows of all three bands. Until next time!

65% of all people are visual learners. What does this mean? According to the Social Science Research Network, that means most people are best at retaining information through visual means. A study by Psychologist Jerome Bruner suggests that while people can remember about 20% of what they read, they can remember a whopping 80% of what they see or do.
Knowing this, we've come up with a few hints to help you be noticed and remembered online. Harness the sticking power of visual appeal in local search and discovery to strengthen your overall online presence and stand out from your competition.
1) First Impressions Are Everything
Customers browsing your website will first notice the quality of the site's design and ease of navigation. Hiring a professional is the easiest solution, though not always the most affordable. Below are some tips that you can use to make the customer's first impression the best impression.
- Design: Customers should be able to tell at a glance what you're selling and how they can get it. Uncluttered, informative, and intuitive web design is the best approach to getting your customers what they need.
- Navigation: On the same note, visitors to your site need to be able to get to where they want in as few clicks as possible. Getting in touch for customer support also needs to be fast, seamless, and accessible from the main page.
- Hosting: There are various affordable and simple online services that have very user friendly interfaces that can help you get started designing your website.
2) Engage Your Social Networks
Social media can be a very powerful tool to promote your business. These tips will help you optimize your social media campaigns and engage your customers.
- Show, don't tell: Pair your post about promotions and special offers with relevant images. Google Plus users are three times more likely to share posts that include images.
- Create original content: Canva is an easy-to-use image creation tool that includes pre-made templates and custom image sizes with a variety of cool fonts to create your own content.
- Customize your message: On several social media platforms, you can customize the thumbnail associated with most of the links that you post.
3) Harness the Power of Your Listings
Another important avenue for customers to find your business are local listings. In fact, while social media can be used for a variety of purposes, people viewing your local listings are there with the express intent of searching for a business to visit!
- Put your best foot forward: Aside from your website, local listings may be the first impression that consumers have of your business, feature images of your business and product offerings. Like your website, consumers should be able to tell at a glance what you're selling.
- Monkey see, monkey do: Include pictures of people enjoying your services or products. It'll serve as visual reviews for other consumers as well as building trust with your existing customers.
- Crowdsource: Certain listing websites allow users to upload their own images – take advantage and request that your customers upload an image. Run a contest to increase engagement and build rapport with your consumers.
4) Quality Drives Trust
The quality of your images can have a large impact on user experience and their perception of your business. Again, when hiring a professional is not an option, check out these high quality stock image libraries to supplement your own photographs.
- Free: RGBStock, Flickr, morgueFile. With hundreds of thousands of high-resolution images available for use, these sources can be invaluable in enhancing your visual appeal. For Flickr, ensure that you're searching for "Creative Common" images available for commercial use.
- Subscriptions: Gratisography, Little Visuals, Unsplash. Simply subscribe to these websites using your email address and receive high-quality, high-resolution images weekly and monthly – did we mention, it's completely free?
- Paid: Bigstock, iStock, Shutterstock. These well-established stock image libraries host millions upon millions of all types of content, including images, audio and video files. If you can't find what you are looking for with the other two – free – options, you are sure to find what you are looking for in these libraries.
It's not easy standing out amongst the hundreds of other businesses online, but with these tips, you'll be one step closer to a stronger online presence.

39 Brattle St.
Cambridge, MA 02138
Cambridge, MA 02138
As our second store in the greater Boston area, Cambridge is the place we came to gather students, thinkers and environmentally focused minds to use business for the betterment of the planet. Landing a location a three-minute walk from Harvard Square was no happy accident, and we intend to get to work here, and to make history with the folks of Massachusetts and those on this storied strip of Brattle Street. And there's lots of work to do. But part of protecting our home planet is continuing to nurture a love for being in the wild. In this part of the world, that means an emphasis on skiing and snowboarding during the winter, and hiking, running and beaching it in the summer—and here in Cambridge we carry equipment and garments for it all (but they don't guarantee access into the Harvard Club).
