Purim Banquet
On Thursday, March 24, about 800 people joined the JRCC's
annual Grand Purim Banquet, which took on the theme of "Purim
in Outer Space" for this year. The decor and costumes all took
on a galactic theme, which gave an added air of excitement
that fit well with the out-of-the-box nature of the Purim holiday.
The festive dinner was accompanied by live music and dancing,
and the evening featured a Purim Shpiel comedy performance.
A separate children's programs, which included a show by
Vladimir the Illusionist, kept the kids busy and happy. It was a
truly well-organized and memorable evening with a real carnival
atmosphere. Special thanks to Rabbi Shua Chanowitz, the JRCC's
Holiday Programs Coordinator, who organized the event, and to
GSR Photography for the great pictures, which can be viewed at
Purim Branch Parties
Over 1,500 people participated in Community Purim parties at JRCC Branches, with hundreds more participating in special parties for seniors at several seniors residences. The JRCC @ Rockford held its annual Purim festival, featuring perennial favorite children's entertainer Doo Doo the Clown, live music and various art projects and activities for kids. The JRCC West Thornhill held a family party featuring a fascinating and unique Fire Guy Custom LED Light Show and other entertainment and great food in a festive atmosphere. The JRCC East Thornhill hosted party featuring the Clown Magician and the hilarious
Human Slinky Show at its new centre on Yonge Street in Old Thornhill.
The JRCC S Richmond Hill & Maple held its Purim party at the Nellie McClung Public School, featuring entertainment by Drum Circle with Jeff, Purim art and crafts, and other activities. JRCC South Thornhill organized a Purim party for adults only, giving parents a chance to
celebrate and socialize without their kids. The JRCC Concord held a Purim party at its location in at 411 Confederate Parkway. All the parties included Megillah readings and masquerades, delicious Purim refreshments, and gifts and prizes for the children.
Mishloach Manot Distribution
Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of staff and volunteers, close to 3,000 festive Purim "Mishloach Manot" gift packages were delivered to homes in the JRCC West Thornhill and East Thornhill areas. The community participation in delivering the gifts, and the festive atmosphere and joy it spreads, made it an enjoyable and meaningful community activity.
JRCC Teens at Raptors Game
Participants in the JRCC S Richmond Hill & Maple and JRCC East Thornhill Bar Mitzvah Clubs and some of their friends were treated to a royal night out, riding in a limo to the Air Canada Centre to take in a Toronto Raptors NBA basketball game, and capping it off with a pizza dinner. The monthly trips are part of the Bar Mitzvah Club's efforts to create lasting memories and friendships, in addition to the Bar Mitzvah studies that take place, and to drive home the message that being Jewish is fun.
Kiddie Chefs, Purim Edition
Dozens of children ages three to eight attended Kiddie Chefs events with their parents to bake together and create beautiful crafts in honor of Purim. They engaged in holiday-themed activities, and learned about the story and customs of the holiday. Kiddie Chefs events were
hosted by JRCC East Thornhill, S Richmond Hill and Maple, Rockford, and West Thornhill.

A Happy New Year And All That
Hello, beloved and thinning readership. Hope you had a great holiday season last month, and greetings from yours truly for the New Year. I know it's almost the end of January, but in France you can say "Happy New Year" until the 31st, so please bear with me. Here's to hopping 2012 will be better for everyone, with crossed fingers no nation will be earthquaked, tsunamied, nuked, engaged in war, or anything that catastrophic.
I'm also wishing we're going to see people put their money where their mouth is and support "content creators" (i.e. musicians, visual artists, writers, filmmakers, etc.) by actually buying their work, and big corporations such as Google not only pay their fair share of corporate taxes but also reverse a fair percentage of their enormous advertising revenues (that they get through all those file-sharing and streaming platforms) to the artists. Hello Google, I'm talking to you, you bitch. Nice to be against SOPA - so am I - but there's no reason you should be the only one to get rich while despoiling people who actually make the content in the first place, you big hypocrite, you.
So, what's going on with FBC! in 2012, are you going to ask? Quite a few things. I've been skipping the various local art fairs because, frankly, in Los Angeles they are always lame. I wish tons of success to our local art dealers, but this ain't a great collecting town and it shows. I'm happy for everybody that this year, for the first time in at least half a decade, we didn't have any torrential rain during the fair.
Likewise, I've been skipping the performances related to the Pacific Standard Time series of events, mostly because I'm not very keen on performance art in general (ditto public art) with some exceptions, so I wouldn't be the best person to report on it.
As I was traveling a lot last year* and on various deadlines, I'm slowly catching up with the PST exhibitions. Expect a report in the next few weeks. Alas, since many are closing right now, it means I'll only have a fragmentary vision of the lot. I've heard the California Light and Space shows in San Diego were spectacular and scholarly, unfortunately they're closing this weekend.
In the next few weeks I'll also tell you about Andy Alexander's new project, werk.by - something I believe could be revolutionary, and is community-oriented in a way few artists projects genuinely are these days. Check it out and please be gentle, as it's still in beta. It's for artists only and you have to register, but it's worth it. You can see it demonstrated currently at the Glendale College Gallery, by appointment only as the college is on a winter break.
Musically 2012 will be super interesting for FBC! has Leonard Cohen has a new record out in just a few days, John Cale's new album should be out I believe in May, Scott Walker is said to be recording an album as well, and there's this Beach Boy reunion thing that could be terrible, or very moving. Speaking of reunion, Belgian-Israeli band Minimal Compact is reuniting and playing in Israel shortly. Hopefully they will tour more. And closer to us, Psychic TV is playing at the Echo on February 26th.
Politically, 2012 will be, ahem, interesting, one hopes. Sure you know all about the US upcoming elections, and no matter where your political allegiances are, there's only one way to make your voice heard: vote, vote, and vote. Better yet, once you're done occupying and voting, if you really, truly want to see things change... run for office. As a dirty foreigner and all that, yours truly cannot vote in the US - I can just pay my taxes and hope for the best.
Do you know the French are voting, too? Every 5 years or so, they manage to ruin my birthday by staging one leg of the presidential or legislative election on that day, and sure enough, they're doing it again this year. Good thing Record Store Day happens the day before to soothe my mood.
Stay tuned for more art and music related posts here at FBC!. As for the picture above, it's a Meyer lemon and rhubarb trifle I've made recently. Have a great year everybody.
* I suffer increasingly from jet-lag when I travel and I almost always get sick when I get back, so the catching up on non-FBC! issues takes precedence over the blog, in addition to the meeting-deadlines-of-the-kind-that-pays, hence the paucity of posts last year. Sorry about that. If you'd like to see more FBC! posts, send me some hard $$$ to support your dubious addiction. It will be deeply appreciated.

A lot of our customers from West Coast fly the red-eye into New York City, arriving super early in the morning. In theory this is a win, because they get in a full day of sightseeing in on their first day, but what happens when you can't check-in to your hotel or Airbnb before 3 pm?
You come to City CoPilot! Here's our step-by-step guide to have an amazing New York City adventure after an early arrival or before a late check-in.
- Pre-book your transportation from the airport with City CoPilot. It's the best price in town. Go here to reserve with our exclusive discount.
- Store your luggage at one of our three locations in NYC.
- Lower East Side: 166 Allen Street
- Brooklyn: 332 Hooper Street
- Times Square: 777 Eighth Avenue
- Once your luggage is securely stored at City CoPilot, it's time for fun! Here are our recommendations:
- One World Observatory. The 360-degree view of Manhattan is the best view in town. It takes less than 30 minutes to get to the Observatory from all City CoPilot locations:
- From the Lower East Side, walk to the Essex Street subway station located at Essex and Delancey Streets. Take the J Train going towards Broad Street and get off at the Fulton Street Station. It's less than a 10-minute walk from the station to the Observatory.
- From Brooklyn: take the J Train at the Hewes Street station heading towards Manhattan and get off at the Fulton Street station.
- From Times Square, head to the 50th Street subway station and catch the downtown E Train to World Trade Center, then get off at the Chambers Street station.
- The Oculus. Once you've finished at the Observatory, you can take a quick walk to this architectural masterpiece. (No really, it looks like a huge spaceship inside.) There's also a shopping mall and restaurants nearby.
- Chinatown. By now, you're probably going to be hungry so we recommend taking a short walk to historic Chinatown for lunch. The famous Nom Wah Tea Parlor has been around in some form since 1920. It's been a bakery, kitchen, and now, it's a dim sum and tea house. It's still got a vintage vibe. We recommend the fried sesame balls with lotus paste!
- Little Italy. You need dessert, right? We highly recommend indulging with a cannoli at Ferrara Bakery.
- One World Observatory. The 360-degree view of Manhattan is the best view in town. It takes less than 30 minutes to get to the Observatory from all City CoPilot locations:
- Check-in time! Pick up your luggage at the Bounce location.

Victory on Saturday evening would almost certainly mean they would remain at the top of La Liga though, and they will feel they should comfortably beat a Celta Vigo side who have huge problems of their own.
Oscar Garcia takers charge of his first game with Celta, who are currently sat in the relegation zone after collecting just nine points from their opening 12 games. With this in mind a trip to Camp Nou would be the last thing they would have wanted.
Barca will be desperate to put in a performance on Saturday to ensure they remain top of the pack, ahead of Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid who are hot on their heels below them.
Here then, just for you, is the most likely team that Ernesto Valverde will select to try and get the Spanish giants back to winning ways.
Goalkeepers & Defenders
Sergi Roberto (RB) – It has been a battle between Roberto and Nelson Semedo for the right-back spot all season with both impressing at times. After a solid second half performance after coming on for Jordi Alba on Wednesday though at left-back, Roberto may just get the nod and start on his more favoured side ahead of Semedo on the right.
Gerard Pique (CB) – The 32-year-old has been an ever present in the Barcelona backline for over a decade now and has played alongside numerous partners since Carles Puyol retired in 2014. The Spaniard is a real leader at the back and a crucial part of the side still.
Clement Lenglet (CB) – The French international has enjoyed a reasonably good start to his second season at Barca, with his partnership growing with Pique each week. With Samuel Umtiti struggling with injuries, Lenglet will want to really nail down his position.
Junior Firpo (LB) – With Alba withdrawn at halftime against Slavia Prague because of a hamstring injury, 23-year-old Firpo could be in line to make his fifth appearance in for Barca in La Liga on Saturday against Celta Vigo.
Frenkie de Jong (CM) – After signing from Ajax in the summer with a huge amount of hype, there was pressure on De Jong to take his game to the next level when playing for Barca. With a decent proportion of the season gone, it is fair to say he has done just this, with the midfielder being selected by manager Valverde more times than any other player.
Arthur (CM) – Brazilian midfielder Arthur has been a regular starter in La Liga this term, offering an attacking threat from a deep position. The 23-year-old has struck twice in seven appearances and will need to keep this going if he is to keep Arturo Vidal and Ivan Rakitic out of the team.
Lionel Messi (RW) – Words cannot do this genius justice. After missing the start of the season with injury, he has come back fit and firing in recent months, netting five goals and recording a further four assists in six La Liga games this term. The Argentine is the world's best and will cause the Celta Vigo backline all sorts of problems on Saturday.
Antoine Griezmann (ST) – With Luis Suarez out injured, it is likely Griezmann will play in a central position this weekend. With four goals and three assists since his move from title rivals Atletico Madrid in the summer, the World Cup winner will look to add to this strong start in the coming weeks.
Ansu Fati (LW) – At just 17-years-old, Fati has been a real revelation this campaign since breaking through, with the Spaniard adding flair and pace in attacking areas. While he is still very raw, the youngster is a real talent and is set to be a regular in the Barcelona team for years to come.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'General Gaming' started by Jacky, Jun 10, 2014.
So not all hope is lost when it comes to missing games.
I know that there were alot of trailers and game announcements that we were hoping to see at E3 this year and so far have yet to see them. Like:
the last guardian
Final fantasy 15
But fear not!! For we still have the Tokyo Game Show! Hopefully we'll hear of more goodies when the TGS arrives.
TGS has always been far better for the type of Sony games that I'm into. Just last year they showed Yakuza Isshin, Deep Down, Guilty Gear Xrd, and they also hinted at a new Earth Defense Force on PS4. They showed Lily Bergamo as well, but apparently that game has since been retooled into Let It Die... and it's free-to-play to boot! Fan-fucking-tastic
But hey, at least we get Vita announcements at TGS.
Don't forget about Gamescom, too!
When I read about Let It Die actually being the scraps from Lily Bergamo, I was really upset. I thought the trailer looked cool, but I felt like Lily Bergamo was going to be a new memorable character with some sort of fascinating backstory. I have incredibly mixed feelings about this project at present. :S
Suikoden VI was not shown...
The Last of Us: Blood Dragon was not shown!
So pissed.
Maybe we'll get a sneak peak at Gamescom or TGS!
Are you honestly still expecting this at some point? Lol. I've long since given up. I'm sure there are several reasons it'd be possible for the series to come back, but for whatever reason(s), nobody seems to care enough to make it happen.
I'd be content with at least a localization of the PSP game (even if it meant upgrading it to Vita/3DS/whatever), but that doesn't seem any more likely than... well, anything else related to the series, really.
Still no word on further development of Sui2 getting rated by the ESRB for PS3, either, two months after the fact.

It seems like only yesterday that Lucky 2016 was announced, yet here it is, sneaking up on us! Since we're in the final stretch, it's time to make sure you have everything you need to make sure that you have the best and safest time. So here is the official DMNW Lucky Checklist!
1. Place to Sleep
If you or your friends don't live near the Tacoma Dome, you may want to look into booking a hotel for the night. Bonus: You don't have to worry about driving home after the event with other drivers that may not have made safe choices. We want you to be safe, so knowing where you'll end up at the end of the night ahead of time is a very important part of the plan.
Since we're getting down to the wire, many hotel rooms near the venue are booked. Luckily, not everything has been spoken for yet, and there are still plenty of options a cheap cab fare away.
Expedia Hotels near the Tacoma Dome
2. A Safe Ride
Whether you need to get to your hotel or all the way back home, please make sure you have a safe ride there. This includes a designated driver, a cab, a Lyft, Uber, or one of USC's Shuttles. If you're having a hard time finding your friends or your ride at the end of the night, go to the Information booth or find a Conscious Crew member, and they will make sure that you get back to your destination safely.
USC's Shuttle Service from Seattle to Tacoma – $45 round trip
USC's Shuttle Service for the Tacoma area – $25 round trip
3. The Perfect Outfit
While it's totally your prerogative to show up to Lucky in a t-shirt, that doesn't mean you have to. Or if you do go that route, there are plenty of fun accessories that you can use to jazz up your outfit. Check out our full guide to Lucky outfits and accessories, though we encourage you to come up with your own ideas as well. We love seeing your creativity shine in your festival outfits!
Here's a code for 20% off at RaveReady that expires February 28, so act fast: Friends16010130
4. Place For Your Stuff
As always, lockers will be available, and a limited quantity are available with charge stations inside. If you're more of the hang-on-to-your-stuff type, be sure that your bag fits regulations for the event. Per the Rules & Safety section, bags must be clear and no bigger than 12x12x6 inches. We've found a of couple options that fit regulations that are Prime eligible (aka ship in two days). Otherwise, USC brand clear backpacks will be available for sale at the USC merchandise booth inside the venue.
Mini backpack (10.5 x 8 x 3 in.)
5. What Goes in the Bag
When it's finally time to go to the event, make sure you have your ticket and valid ID to get in the door. If you're taking the shuttle make sure you have your order information easily accessible on your phone, and your ID as well. You may want to bring an empty water bottle to fill up at one of the many free water stations, or you can purchase one inside.
Speaking of purchases, make sure you bring some cash for water, food, or items from vendors. Ladies, we don't think you need it, but you may want to bring makeup to touch up and if you do, make sure it's sealed. That goes for chapstick as well, make sure it's sealed upon entry so if you end up kissing any Irish you can be ready. If you like to trade, don't forget to make some kandi for any new friends you might make at the event.
6. Get Healthy, Stay Healthy
In the weeks, days, and hours leading up to Lucky, make sure that you're taking good care of your body. Make sure that you're feeding yourself nutritious food and hydrating. While at the actual event, please keep an eye on yourself and others. And if you need any help, find a member of the Conscious Crew.

Tourism Assessment Form – July 2018
Our restaurant members are receiving letters from the California Board of Tourism regarding the Tourism Assessment form. They are being asked to return it with a payment of $X per million dollars the restaurant generates.
It is not a scam and you must return form with payment. This assessment from the California Board of Tourism is for hospitality businesses that generate more than $1 million in revenue and can attribute some of their earnings to tourists. Find out if you are an Assessable Business here.
Businesses can determine their assessment by using the formula they provide only counting the revenue attributable to tourism. More general information can be found here.
The California Office of Tourism supports California programs that benefit the state's travel and tourism industry.
The California Tourism Marketing Act of 1995 enabled the state's tourism industry to assess itself to conduct statewide marketing. In 1998, the industry voted to pass the first industrywide referendum, creating the Tourism Assessment Program and establishing the California Travel and Tourism Commission as the first-of-its-kind destination marketing organization in the nation.
California businesses participating in the program are identified as part of five travel and tourism industry categories: accommodations; attractions and recreation; restaurants and retail; transportation and travel services; and passenger rental cars. The Office of Tourism manages the Tourism Assessment Program and collects the funds that power Visit California's global marketing efforts. For more information on Visit California, visit industry.visitcalifornia.com.
The California Welcome Center Program comprises 17 strategically located official state welcome centers that serve as California's concierges. Equipped with comprehensive informational materials and expert staff, each California Welcome Center (CWC) acts as a window into the world of the surrounding region and state.
Through personal interactions with travelers, CWCs gather travel statistics and feedback on traveler experiences, directly supporting local communities through travel recommendations and insights. For more information on California Welcome Centers, visit www.visitcwc.com.

Registration + payment functions to secure your spot at this event. Each year we have enjoyed an increasingly great turnout; start helping promote "early and often," and we should knock it out of the park again this year! Do not wait to register…there are more schools in the area than slots, and this event has only grown over time.
The spirit of this event is intended to be one of inclusivity/unity and helpfulness. While we will be sandwiching 20 amazing preschools into one open-plan gym space, there certainly is room enough for everyone's program to shine! We celebrate the diversity of our schools,
and are pleased to offer you all a space to offer up information and help families determine a "best-fit" program for their children!
Vendors may set up as early as noon. Please only bring tables that are 5′ in length max. We will not be able to provide vendors with electrical outlets. Families don't much care about slideshows…they mainly just want to meet school reps and talk, face-to-face. ***NO PRODUCT SALES, OR SCHOOL SERVICE SALES allowed at this event. It's all about you and your amazing schools! In other words, nobody should be tabling or walking around hustling/interrupting you, to sell you stuff;)

As large energy prosumers in district energy systems, on the one hand, data centers consume a large amount of electricity to ensure the Information Technologies (IT) facilities, ancillary power supply and cooling systems work properly; on the other hand, data centers produce a large quantity of waste heat due to the high heat dissipation rates of the IT facilities. To date, a systematic review of data centers from the perspective of energy prosumers, which considers both integration of the upstream green energy supply and downstream waste heat reuse, is still lacking. As a result, the potentials for improving data centers' performances are limited due to a lack of global optimization of the upstream renewable energy integration and downstream waste heat utilization. This study is intended to fill in this gap and provides such a review. In this regard, the advancements in different cooling techniques, integration of renewable energy and advanced controls, waste heat utilization and connections for district heating, real projects, performance metrics and economic, energy and environmental analyses are reviewed. Based on the enormous amount of research on data centers in district energy systems, it has been found that: (1) global controls, which can manage the upstream renewable production, data centers' operation and waste heat generation and downstream waste heat utilization are still lacking; (2) regional climate studies represent an effective way to find the optimal integration of renewable energy and waste heat recovery technologies for improving the data centers' energy efficiency; (3) the development of global energy metrics will help to appropriately quantify the data center performances.
This study evaluates how the principal function of bi-directional electric meters affects the monitored amount of self-consumed and produced excess electricity for dwelling buildings connected to the grid by three phases. The electric meters momentarily record the sum of the phases or the phases individually and then summarize the recorded values to a suitable time period and is then collected by the grid owner. In Sweden, both electric meter configurations fulfill laws and regulations.
The meter configuration affects the monitored distribution of self-consumed and produced excess electricity significantly for the investigated single-family house but is negligible for the investigated multi-dwelling buildings. The monitored self-consumed electricity produced by the PV installation for the single-family house varies between 24% and 55% depending on the configuration and how the inverter is installed for the investigated year. The difference in economic value for the produced electricity varies between 79.3 to 142 Euros.
Due to the electric meter configuration, the profitability of PV systems will be different for identical single-family houses with identical conditions. This should be corrected for a well-functioning market. It is also important to decide how the configuration should be designed to ensure that different incentives and enablers results in desired effects.
Radiative properties of interior surfaces can affect not only the building heat flux but also the indoor environment, the latter of which has not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of surface emissivity on indoor air and surface temperature distributions in a test cabin with reflective interior surfaces. This was done by comparing experimental and simulation data of the test cabin with that of a normal cabin. This study employs transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using re-normalisation group (RNG) k–" model, surface-to-surface radiation model and an enhanced wall function. Boundary conditions were assigned to exterior surfaces under variable outdoor conditions. The numerical and the measurement results indicate that using interior reflective surfaces will affect the indoor air temperature distribution by increasing the vertical temperature gradient depending on the time of the day. CFD simulations with high spatial resolution results show increased interior surface temperature gradients consistent with the increased vertical air temperature gradient. The influence of reflective surfaces is potentially greater with higher indoor surface temperature asymmetry. The vertical indoor air temperature gradient and surface temperatures are important parameters for indoor thermal comfort.
When taking action to fulfill the directives from the European Union, energy conserving measures will be implemented in the building sector. If buildings are connected to district heating systems, a reduced heat demand will influence the electricity production if the reduced heat demand is covered by combined heat and power plants.This study analyze five different energy conserving measures in a multi-dwelling building regarding how they affect the marginal production units in the district heating system in Gävle, Sweden. For CO2 emission evaluations, two different combinations of heat and electricity conserving measures are compared to an installation of an exhaust air heat pump.The different energy conserving measures affect the district heating system in different ways. The results show that installing an exhaust air heat pump affects the use/production of electricity in the district heating system most and electricity conserving measures result in reduced use of electricity in the building, reduced use of electricity for production of heat in the district heating system and an increase of electricity production.The conclusion is that electricity use in the building is the most important factor to consider when energy conserving measures are introduced in buildings within the district heating system in Gävle.
To rapidly develop sustainable energy systems is crucial for the whole society's transition towards sustainability. System efficiency and reduced climate impact are important parts of this. Swedish district heating systems are fairly well developed, mainly based on non-fossil fuels, and includes energy-efficient technologies (such as combined heat and power production and fuel gas condensation). Increased use of district heating is therefore considered as a way to increase energy-efficiency, to phase out fossil energy for heating purposes, and subsequently to a reduction of global CO2 emissions.
The aim of this paper is to study system impact of increased demand of district heating by analysing a collaboration on heat supply between the local energy supplier of Ludvika in Sweden and a nearby mine. The paper analyses economic potential, as well as the potential for more efficient operation of district heating production plants in the local district heating system. The heat demand in the mine is presently supplied from a small-scale biomass-fuelled heat-only boiler located near to the mine. The system consists of two biomass-fuelled heat-only boilers with fuel gas condensers. The consequences of connecting the heat demand of the mine with the municipal district heating system is analyzed using the cost optimization model MODEST.

How Sweet It Is
Today the workplace had some sort of fruit basket on display in the break room. What does this mean? It's fair game.
There was an assortment of various fruit, including some chocolate-covered strawberries. Hey, I'm all about that. There was also some chocolate-covered pineapple. Hmmm. I've never tried this concoction before.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised. So surprised that I have to declare chocolate-dipped pineapple slices >>> chocolate-dipped strawberries.
What did it for me was that the sweetness of the pineapple enhanced the chocolate. You don't get that with strawberries.

Within the Mai's Inn storyline, some things have been established about magic and mages in Eryonne.
First there are three Orders of Mages in the world signified by color and the magic that they use. Green, Blue, and Red. First there is the Green Robes. They will not cast a spell that injures either another person or the planet. They will sacrifice themselves in order to save others. There is no lethal force allowed of a green robe.
Second there are the Blue Robes. They will cast spells that will harm others. They will try to find another way. If none presents itself, they will defend themselves against whatever is attacking them or remove the obstacle in their path. Lethal force is allowed but it is done with great regard for what they are doing.They are a moderate order and they come in both selfish and sacrificial varieties. Many wear some object that shows which way they lean. Such as a green pendant or a red one.
Third are the Red Robes. They will cast spells without regard to how they effect others. Lethal force will be used without regret. They can be overly selfish in how they treat others. However, they can also be friendly. Some will hesitate to kill while others do it without regard. They will take whatever means they feel is necessary to complete a task. Nothing will be allowed to stand in their way except a threat to their own life. They have in the past hired out to others who needed magic done. Often they will work with a tyrant. Some times even they can be pushed too far however.
There are several towers of Sorcery in the world. These towers contain great libraries of spell books and other scrolls useful to mages. In addition, young students go there for training. When they are old enough they can be assigned as an apprentice to an older mage who will take over their training.
After a mage has been apprentaced they must continue to study in order to maintain their craft. Mages are given 5 tests after their apprenticeship ends to determine their skill level. The final two are often avoided by many of the mages because they can have psychological impact on the mage. In addition, the final one can be deadly if the mage has not been trained property as all safeties are taken off the spells.
Also at the main tower in Bumadi Forest. It is southeast of the city of Falurst. There the heads of the three Orders will meet and discuss and make rulings that effect all magic in Eryonne. In additions meetings will be held among the orders. And charges may be brought against members of the Order.
There is also a great feast held at the tower where many mages gather and celebrate their craft. It is held on the longest day of the year and is called the Feast of Magi.
There are Renegades in the world. These are mages who have chosen not to align with any of the orders and will be hunted down if they do not refrain from using magic. Most of these renegades are hired out by rich to complete unscupulous tasks and while the Red Robes are lethal in some of their magic, Renegades typically make sport of using lethal force typically.

Odds are you've heard or read that many companies run credit checks on job applicants. It's true. A 2010 survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management showed that 60 percent of employers look at the credit reports of some or all job applicants. You'll improve your chances of getting a job once you know why employers are digging down into your credit history to see just what kind of person you are.
Screening Strategy
The Society for Human Resource Management survey found that employers generally don't consideryour credit report alone sufficient reason to make a decision about hiring you. Rather, checking your credit is a screening strategy. While good or bad credit is a factor, other things are more important. Some companies may be influenced by promotional efforts by credit reporting agencies like TransUnion and Experian. These credit reporting agencies market credit reports to employers as a tool to weed out undesirable job applicants.
Loss Prevention
Companies are quite reasonably concerned with minimizing employee theft. Put simply, many businesspeople believe screening job applicants based on credit histories is a way to reduce losses from pilfering or embezzlement. Naturally enough, a potential employer is most likely to check your credit if you are applying for jobs like cashier, bank teller, accountant or financial officer. These are all jobs in which you have access to money or property, so companies do everything they can to insure you are trustworthy before they hand your the keys to their stash of cash.
Job Performance
Companies want to hire productive employees. Some employers think if you have credit problems you're more likely to be preoccupied with financial worries and consequently will be less productive. Other employers view good credit management as a sign you're responsible, conscientious and able to exercise good judgment.
Help Yourself
People can end up with negative information on their credit reports, sometimes through no fault of their own. If you are in the job market, take the time to get a copy of your credit report and go over it. If you find errors, contact the credit reporting agencies and have the mistakes corrected. You can get free copies of your credit reports each year through AnnualCreditReprot.com, the centralized locus of the three credit reporting agencies. Your credit report can also help you identify any real problems you might have so you can start fixing them.

The power of foreign aid
must not be compromised
With the recent DEA activity in San Jose, I think of the immense funding the U.S. government puts into enforcement. This country is forgetting the power of diplomacy and foreign aid to quell the global issues trickling into U.S. cities.
The Trump administration recently released the fiscal year 2018 "Skinny" International Affairs Budget (IAB), slashing funding for diplomacy and foreign aid. This means limiting aid for those countries ridden by war and suffering from natural disasters. The IAB also protects U.S. national security. A multitude of military officials have spoken in concern of the budget; ignoring the plethora of today's global challenges will severely affect U.S. national security.
We must urge congressional representatives to protect the IAB. The power of foreign aid and diplomacy cannot be compromised — the IAB works to protect not only those suffering from war and poverty, but also the people of San Jose and the entire country.

François Joseph Westermann
François Joseph Westermann
François Joseph Westermann
|5 September 1751
Molsheim, France
|5 April 1794 (aged 42)
Paris, France
| Kingdom of France
|Years of service
|General of Brigade
François Joseph Westermann (German: Franz Joseph Westermann; 5 September 1751 – 5 April 1794) was a French general of the Revolutionary Wars and political figure of the French Revolution.
Born in Molsheim (Alsace, today department Bas-Rhin), François Joseph Westermann entered a cavalry regiment at an early age but soon left the service and went to Paris. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the Revolution, and in 1790 became greffier of the municipality of Haguenau. After a short imprisonment on a charge of inciting riots in Haguenau, he returned to Paris, where he joined Georges Danton and played an important part in the attack on the Tuileries on 10 August 1792.[1]
He accompanied Charles François Dumouriez on his campaigns with the Army of the North, and assisted him in his negotiations with the Habsburgs, being arrested as an accomplice after the general's defection. Denounced by Jean-Paul Marat to the National Convention, Westermann succeeded in proving his innocence, and was sent with the rank of general of brigade to quell the Revolt in the Vendée.[1]
Vendée and downfall[edit]
Westermann distinguished himself by his extraordinary courage, daring maneuvers, and severe treatment of the insurgents. After suffering a defeat at Châtillon, he defeated the Vendéens at Beaupréau, Laval, Granville, and Baugé, and in December 1793 annihilated their army at Le Mans and Savenay.[1]
In a controversial document, the authenticity of which is disputed, Westermann supposedly wrote to the Committee of Public Safety:
- "There is no more Vendée, Republican citizens. It died beneath our free sword, with its women and its children. I have just buried it in the swamps and the woods of Savenay. Following the orders that you gave to me, I crushed the children beneath the horses' hooves, massacred the women who, those at least, will bear no more brigands. I do not have a single prisoner to reproach myself with. I have exterminated them all..."[2]
Some historians believe this letter never existed.[3] The rebellion was still going on, and there were several thousand living Vendéan prisoners being held by Westerman's forces when the letter was supposedly written.[4] The killing of civilians would also have been an explicit violation of the Convention's orders to Westermann.[5]
After his victory he was summoned to Paris, where, as a friend and partisan of Georges Danton, he was proscribed with the Dantonist party and guillotined.[1]
He is depicted by Jacques Villeret in the 1983 film Danton.

But as Berkeley becomes a hotbed of civil unrest, Malcom begins spiraling into a decline that will continue through the next decade.
It is 1971 when a now thirty-four-year-old Malcolm meets Ophelia outside his apartment building. He is a graduate student attempting to restart a life plagued by misdirection, deceit, and manipulation. She is a free-spirited former dutiful wife now traveling nurse. Entranced by his undeniable attraction to her, it seems Malcolm has finally found refuge in the arms of a good woman. But as their lives become intertwined and their unspoken love grows, Malcolm has no idea of the battles he is about to face as parasitic maniacs lurk in the shadows and tragedy awaits.
Ophelia is the tale of one man's decades-long quest to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles in order to find honest love and his place in the world.

Costly Accounting Mistakes: How Hiring an Accountant Can Help You Save – Guest Post
There's no denying that most of us are never taught how to balance a checkbook, much less manage a budget and complex finances. So when it comes to earning, spending, saving, investing, building credit, and paying taxes we often find ourselves in the dark, blindly groping for a financial plan that won't leave us in the poorhouse. And while spending money on accounting services may sound somewhat counter intuitive to the idea of saving, the truth is that having the help of a professional will lead you to save a lot more than you could on your own. So here are just a few costly mistakes that a personal accountant can help you avoid.
1. Abide by changing tax laws. The main purpose most people have in hiring an accountant is to help them save money on taxes. This is a great idea since you probably don't have a very clear idea of which tax laws apply to your particular situation, which can be used to save you money, and which have recently changed (potentially in your favor). Your accountant will be well aware of the current laws and how they apply to you specifically, which will save you the time of doing the legwork (and possibly missing money that should be yours).
2. Missing deductibles and tax breaks. One of the biggest failures that people make when doing their taxes is missing out on deductibles and tax breaks they could be claiming in order to pay less (or even get money back). An accountant can make sure that you take advantage of every write-off available to you.
3. Independent work status. With the recession resulting in job loss and long-term unemployment, many people are changing careers and even taking on freelance work opportunities in order to make ends meet. If you're a first-time freelancer you may not realize how many write-offs are available to you. And since you aren't getting the same tax advantages you would have as an employee, you really need to know how to save come tax time.
4. Fixing a poor credit rating. You may not realize that you suffer from a low credit rating until you go to buy a car, a home, or some other big-ticket item that requires a loan – and find that you've been denied. Did you even know that it was possible (and advisable) to order a free copy of your credit report once a year? An accountant can help you find ways to improve your credit rating and ensure that it stays high.
5. Managing your personal finances. Planning a budget, saving for the future, and considering investments are all areas where your personal accountant can come in handy. If you thought that accountants were only good for sending off your taxes, it's time to think again. They can help you with the basics as well, so that your personal finances become much more manageable.
You don't have to spend years studying to earn a Bachelor's of accounting or even spend a few minutes contemplating online accounting degrees in order to successfully manage your finances and get money back on your taxes. By shelling out a few ducats to hire a professional accountant you can save time and money, avoiding the costly mistakes that have plagued you in the past.
Carol Montrose is a writer for Accounting Degree where you can find the accounting program that's right for you. She resides in Southern California and is currently writing a book in her spare time about the joys of freelancing.

I really want to visit Brač! How do I do that?!
Brač is an island which can be reached by sea and air. Here are some basics.
There are two ferry lines connecting Brač with a land.
First is in Supetar, connecting Brač with Split, and the second is on Sumartin, connecting Brač with Makarska. There is a third port that can be reached by regular local boat lines, and that is Bol, on the south part of the island. Here, you can reach Brač from Split, or from a neighbouring island Hvar. More information about ferry lines and timetables you may find here.
Also, if you own or rent boats, you may just sail into any place on island Brač. We suggest Brač Deluxe for transfers!
Brač has its own small airport, situated in the middle of the island. More and more flights are introduced each year, and all the necessary information you may find on the airport's website. If you need transportation from the airport to any other place on the island, may we suggest contacting some of the #bestofbrac service providers, such as Taxi Peša, Brač Deluxe, Rent a Motorino or M&B rent.

NEW DELHI: Two more employees of the Lok Sabha Secretariat, including a security official, have been found positive for COVID-19, sources said on Friday.
With this, three Secretariat employees have tested positive.
The first employee to test positive for the virus was a housekeeper, who had been at home since the Budget Session was adjourned on March 23, the sources said.
The other two were found positive after Parliament resumed on May 3, when Lockdown 2.0 concluded.
One of them was a security official and the other worked in the editorial and translation (E&T) services at the Parliament Annexe building, they said.
The E&T official attended office after May 3, they added.
However, the Lok Sabha Secretariat authorities had sanitised the entire premises before resuming operations and continued to take all precautions thereafter.
Employees are now allowed to enter Parliament only after proper screening.
All vehicles are also sanitised before entering the complex.
Sources suggested that there have been a few symptomatic cases of the coronavirus among employees working in different secretariats and branches at Parliament and its adjoining buildings.
Government buildings in the vicinity of the Parliament complex such as Krishi Bhawan, Shastri Bhawan and NITI Aayog, which have offices of several ministries and ministers, were sealed for a day or two following the detection of COVID-19 cases there.

Let's talk about creativity, because it comes in so many different forms and it's in all of us. For one it's posting Mirror Selfies, for others putting their mind and heart onto paper. And there are the ones who are literally in pain when they have a creative block. When they have to force it and just don't know how to get 'it' out there.
That's me.
I know I'm the only one who feels like this, but I literally hate everything I'm putting out there lately and it's driving me insane. INSANE! I know it's just a phase and every creative person is suffering from this from time to time.
What really helped me was finding a real treasure. An old camera from my grandpa he purchased in the early 90's. Not just any camera, a Contax T2. I could hardly believe my luck. It's the one analog camera that has developed into one of the best and most valuable Point & Shoot cameras (hello Zeiss lens).
Much more important than the collector's value of this camera, however, is a completely different value. Unfortunately I had only 7 years with my grandpa and I have always wished to get to know him better. And as if he had guessed in which professional direction it would take me, it means a lot to me to capture new memories with his old camera.
So here is me, trying to get my creativity back with memories on 35mm film.

It started with a single cake, a labor of love to celebrate her nephew's first birthday, and to help her sister with the day's celebrations.
"It was my first cake," explains Erin Cronbaugh, owner of The Cake Life of Gladstone, North Dakota, on how she began her journey to a career in baking and decorating cakes. "It was just basic—buying the pan from the store and following a recipe. I enjoyed it, and it felt like the first thing I had done really well in a while."
That first successful birthday cake led Erin to pursue her baking hobby around her full-time job as a tax researcher in Kansas City, Missouri. Her co-workers were often her taste-testing guinea pigs.
By 2009, she knew she wanted to pursue baking on a higher level. Erin applied for—and landed—one of the 13 available spots in an intense year-long pastry and baking program at Johnson County Community College. She cut back hours at her job to accommodate the class schedule.
The program was an immersive experience, giving her skills to enter competitions, earn features in magazines, and start her own part-time cake business in Kansas City.
When the opportunity arose to move back to her hometown of Gladstone in 2014, Erin brought The Cake Life to western North Dakota. With the support of her husband, Jason, she began baking full-time out of a licensed, commercial kitchen in Gladstone.
The most surprising part of starting the business was getting her first order.
"I was shocked that anyone really wanted to order from me!" she laughs.
Erin has also been surprised and pleased at the strong support she has felt from other wedding vendors in the Dickinson area.
"Meeting them [local vendors] was great. They were excited and encouraging."
From orders for wedding cakes to party cakes to specialty sculpted cakes, The Cake Life has gained a loyal local following from Gladstone and Dickinson to Bismarck and beyond.
And while she does all the planning and baking herself, Erin gets a helping hand from her family when it comes to making deliveries, doing the books, and attending vendor shows.
Erin explains that creating a cake uses two totally different mindsets, tapping into different sides of her brain.
Baking days are all about precision, Erin describes. To get a cake tasting just right requires a disciplined left-brain approach to the math and science of baking a delicious cake.
"It's all about testing, being very specific in the process. Something I learned at pastry school was how to make bake day as efficient as possible."
Erin says that coming up with the cake design and planning for the decorative portion—tapping into the right side of the brain—takes as much or more time than creating the cake itself.
"I'm not a creative person by nature. I tend to be very literal," she admits.
However, one look at some of Erin's cakes makes that statement hard to believe. When food meets art in her creations, customers sometimes have a hard time cutting into them because they are so beautiful.
A recent customer shared that party guests thought a sculpted cake in the shape of a garden basket was a decorative centerpiece and had no idea it was an edible cake.
The best and most challenging project Erin has completed was her sister's wedding cake—she was given free rein to create whatever she wanted and put a lot of time and thought into coming up with something amazing for her sister's special day. The wedding cake she created had a hidden panel on the backside, featuring a scene from her sister's favorite movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Her sister loved it, and the hard work in surprising her was worth the effort to Erin.
Online reviews of Erin's cakes, creativity, and customer service echo the same word over and over again—'amazing'—the result of someone doing what she loves, brightening people's lives one cake at a time.

- At any branch point three angles are possible .True bifurcation angle is formed between LAD and LCX .
- The angle between LM and LAD or LM and LCX can also be important in specific situations ,especially when we encounter short left mains and Medina 1,1,0 lesions .
- Major bifurcation angle can occur in mid segments as well , between LAD / major Diagonal , LCX and OM.
- Logic would tell us the left main bifurcation angle is relatively fixed by the anatomical AV and IV grooves. Still early course of LAD and LCX can be out of grooves.
- Further ,the bifurcation angle is imparted some amount of dynamism by cardiac cycle . It can vary between 80 -120 degrees (LAD/LCX).
- Most importantly various angiographic views can alter the true angle (by illusion ) in dramatic fashion . RAO caudal view appear ideal to measure it. (LAO caudal make every bifurcation angle obtuse !)
- Acute angled bifurcations are prone for stent related mechanical issues both during deployment and in the long term outcome . (When two stent technique is used) This is because , acute angled bifurcations has a tendency to drift the carina , and encroach the lumen which can create new turbulence . Of course final kissing balloon is expected to reduce this hemodynamic side effect at least on paper !
