Exclusive: Price of water sold to Singapore 'ridiculous'; Malaysia to renegotiate deal, says Mahathir
The price of water being sold to Singapore is "ridiculous", and Malaysia will make a presentation to its neighbour on renegotiating the terms of the water supply deal, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Monday (Jun 25).
"I think it is manifestly ridiculous that we should sell water at 3 sen per thousand gallons. That was okay way back in the 1990s or 1930s. But now what can you buy with 3 sen? Nothing," the 92-year-old told Channel NewsAsia in an exclusive interview.
Earlier, Bloomberg had reported that Dr Mahathir intended to go back to the drawing board on the water accord, which is set to expire in 2061.
"We are studying the case properly and we'll make a presentation," he told Channel NewsAsia.
The Malaysian leader said the country had yet to inform Singapore about its intent to pull out from a Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail project agreed upon by the previous Najib Razak administration as well.
Since his coalition assumed office in a stunning election victory on May 9, Dr Mahathir has stated publicly that the rail link will be scrapped for now in a bid to reduce the country's debt and liabilities exceeding RM1 trillion (US$251 billion).
"Sometimes we make public statements without actually finalising the process. When we want to make a decision we don't wait till we inform Singapore, we just say something. Of course they would want to know, and we will inform them in time."
Asked when Singapore would be informed, he said: "It's not so urgent."
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Malaysia's former prime minister Najib Razak in January had reaffirmed the importance of undertaking measures to ensure the reliable and adequate water supply from the Johore River as provided for in the 1962 Water Agreement.
In a joint statement issued after a Singapore-Malaysia Leaders' Retreat, both countries also affirmed the terms of the agreement, under which Singapore is given full and exclusive rights to draw up to a maximum of 250 million gallons (mgd) of water per day from the Johore River.
In return, Johor is entitled to buy treated water of the same volume as up to 2 per cent of the water extracted by Singapore on any given day, or about 5 mgd if Singapore draws its full entitlement of water from the Johor River.
In February this year, then-Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Chan Chun Sing said Singapore must ensure that it has an adequate supply of water by the 2050s, before the water agreement with Malaysia expires in 2061.
Under national water agency PUB's masterplan, NEWater and desalination will meet 85 per cent of Singapore's water demand by 2060. That is also when the total water demand is expected to double.
In a written Parliamentary reply to Member of Parliament for Marine Parade GRC Seah Kian Peng in January 2017, Minister of Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan said the 1962 Water Agreement was "sacrosanct" to Singapore.
"It was guaranteed by both the Governments of Malaysia and Singapore under the 1965 Separation Agreement, which was deposited with the United Nations," he said.
In March 2017, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said Singapore must be psychologically prepared to face water shortages if its reservoirs dry up and when the second water agreement with Malaysia ends in 2061.
At present, imported water meets half of Singapore's water needs. But water levels in Johor's Linggiu Reservoir are falling. There is also the danger of prolonged dry weather, Mr Teo said at the time.

If you live in Australia, you most likely know someone who has a mental illness. Perhaps it's your mum, your brother, your best friend or maybe even yourself. This is because 1 in 5 people throughout the country suffer from mental health problems. And of the estimated 4 million people affected, few reach out for help. This is largely due to the stigma attached to mental illness, which often makes people feel ashamed or embarrassed to admit they're suffering.
So how can we turn these statistics around?
Here at Ok To Talk, we are passionate about helping Australians find a psychologist who works for them. Our free service has helped thousands of people, but we know there is still a long way to go. That's why, on October 10, we're asking you to join us in shedding some light on the issue of mental illness for World Mental Health Day. There are many small but important ways you can play a role in ending this harmful stigma. This could be…
- Starting a conversation about mental health with your friends or family.
- Making a social media post about World Mental Health Day (you can even use the one we made)
- Sharing your own personal experience with mental illness. This could be online or with someone you trust.
- Asking someone who you may think is struggling whether they want to talk about their mental health.
In order to improve the mental health and happiness of Australians, we must begin by talking about it – really talking about it. Only then will we be able to help other live the happy, healthy lives they deserve.
Find out more about our free psychologist matching service today.

– 4 Common Reasons You Don't Want to See a Psych

Sometime in the past week or so it came to my attention that this website had been hacked. Thanks to Charlie Lenk, the site is back up.
It's been a while since I wrote anything, mainly because the news out of Venezuela continues to be depressing and now that that disgusting creature occupying the White House is opposing the Bolivarians I've decided to pull back from Venezuela and move on to other projects and concerns. There is no significant organized opposition that I feel I could support there, and I have nothing to add to what I've said in my book (Home from the Dark Side of Utopia)or my articles published here and at Caracas Chronicles.
The whole problem is that Trump and Maduro mirror each other, reflecting reverse images to each other, and that can be deadly. After all, there's nothing we hate more than glimpsing our own shadow in the acts of our enemies. Tragically, a majority of the Left in the US and world-wide is lost in the "room full of mirrors" and see Maduro's project as the alternative to Trump's when, in fact, it turns out to be just another version of the same populist wave sweeping the world and destroying the already-weakened institutions of democracy. Which is not to say that the institutions of democracy served anyone well at this point in history. To the contrary. But where populism has won decisively (in Venezuela, for instance) people have discovered that there are worse things than liberal democratic governance. And once lost, it's hell trying to get it back.
If you haven't read Joaquin Villalobos' recent piece, you really should. If you don't read Spanish, it's worth putting it into Google translate (which I did, just to see how it came out, and it endured the process remarkably well). I had one friend give me s— for recommending Villalobos's work last time I posted about one of his articles, but I think he's become a very clear and articulate critic of the ultra-Left in Latin America, particularly the Bolivarian mafia, which has wrecked Venezuela.
It's easy to feel overwhelmed at the current historical juncture, so I have to keep reminding myself that it's not my responsibility to make things run right: I am responsible to make sure I run right, and everyone else has to do his and her part. That's another way of saying that the November elections are just around the corner, and we sure as hell better vote for anything but a Republican if we want to prevent further damage to our country.
Meanwhile, go out and show love to the beauty that thrives at every turn. Give yourself to it; that's how you show gratitude.

I do recommend this landmark book. While many people, including our new NL government (Rutte III), firmly believe in "the invisible hand of the open market" it is rather visible that the Market is not open any more and fair : steered by monopolies and 1% er interests. Pure capitalism (aka NeoLib policy) is obviously not working anymore and outdated as an ideology for everything in society*). Not only does it ruin nature but also it is extremely unfair and a-social. As you can see in the revelations from the "Parasite Papers".
George Monbiot has written a thorough analysis of the NeoLib fairytale. AND he presents the idea's which can help us recover and regain a better world, hence the subtitle.
Summary of this influential book "Out of the Wreckage" – New politics for an Age of Crisis- : A toxic ideology (NeoLib) rules the world – of extreme competition and individualism. It misrepresents human nature, destroying hope and common purpose. Only a positive vision can replace it, a new story that re-engages people in politics and lights a path to a better world.
My personal view is that we need all 3: Business ventures rewarding risky ventures & Gov't steering in the general long term interest & the commons+cooperatives of the civil society. See my Trias Internetica, described in other pages of my blog.
*) IMHO it is relevant to note that STUDENTS of the Science of Economics have noticed that what they get presented by some professors is not quite "up to date" to say it mildly. For instance in NL economics students in Rotterdam (Erasmus University) and at the University of Twente have insisted last year that the Curriculum should be brought up to the present views, post- crash of 2008. Students of the University of Manchester made a few steps further. They REWROTE the Economics Curriculum themselves, with assistance of some more wide awake teachers. The result is the book (published by Manchester University Press, 2017, and 'Rethinking Economics'. Visit the international network of students citizens and professionals that cooperate to rebuild economics for practice and teaching rethinkeconomics.org )
"The Econocracy" – The Perils of leaving Economics to the experts – Joe Earle, Cahal Moran and Zach Ward-Perkins; with a foreword by Andrew Haldane, Chief \ . Economist at the Bank of England.

Remember Gary sent a joke to his class in his first email? Well they responded with some very funny ones…
We love cats and have some good jokes for you:Q: What do you call a nocturnal cat?A: A meeowl(Dana)Q:What's the best way to describe a cat?A: Purrrrfect(Jasmine O)Q: What do you call a tall cat?A: Top cat(Teddy)
This week, Gary has set the class quite the task. They have to draw their own animal using a similar technique to how the class drew their version of Julius – using shapes first then adding the detail.
I would like you to draw a shape for the head, a shape for the body, draw arms and legs, add a nose, eyes, ears and a tail, then add a pattern or texture. you could draw a cartoon based on your pet, or any animal you like. But if you break it down into these easy stages, you will find it extremely easy. I've included some drawings as suggestions for shapes etc.Next week we'll dress up your character!

Now that Qualcomm announced a new processor to power Always Connected PCs, Microsoft can focus more on the work it does together with partners to bring new devices to the market.
And of the first such partners to launch a new Windows 10 ARM device is none other than Samsung, which will officially join this push later this year.
Samsung will be building its own Always Connected PC powered by Qualcomm's just-announced Snapdragon 850 processor, and while no specifics are available, there's no doubt the company will focus on the same features as the rest of the OEMs.

Amendment is not unconditional.
California District Judge James Ware ruled this past week that school administrators were within their rights when
forcing students to either change or turn their shirts inside-out because they bore images of the American Flag. The students decided to wear the American t-shirts on Cinco de Mayo, a major Mexican Holiday. The students claim they were not wearing the shirts to antagonize the Mexican-American students at the school, just that they wanted to show support for their own country.
School administrators saw things differently and forced students to remove the "offending" clothing. School administrators did not however make students celebrating Cinco de Mayo remove any of their celebratory clothing...

Is Getting a Home Mortgage Still Too Difficult? NO
Potential homebuyers are always cautioned to be aware of mortgage lending standards and the difficulty they might face when trying to obtain a mortgage. Credit availability is expanding, making it easier to get a mortgage now than it was even a year ago.
Be sure to have your personal credit rating in good condition. Lenders give better rates to people who have show financial responsibility in their past.
The Effect on the Economy
The real estate market is very stable right now. Sellers who price their houses to the market are selling within a reasonable period.
Buyers are paying a bit more than last year. Reasonable appreciation over time makes home ownership a good investment.

Getting Settled
Eisenhower Army Medical Center
300 E. Hospital Road
General Information 706-787-5811
Appointments 706-787-7300
Pharmacy 706-787-8033
The Eisenhower Army Medical Center provides health care services to military members and their families at Fort Gordon, as well as retirees and veterans of the armed forces. The center provides a wealth of medical services, including behavioral health care, cardiology, dentistry, emergency care, flight medicine, general surgery, intensive care, OB-GYN care, physical therapy, primary care, radiology and more.
Family members of active-duty personnel are encouraged to use the TRICARE Dental Program. For information about the TRICARE Dental Program, call 855-638-8371 or visit www.tricare.mil/CoveredServices/Dental/TDP.
TRICARE is the health care program for active-duty and retired service members, their families and survivors. TRICARE provides health plans, prescriptions, dental plans and other special health programs to its beneficiaries. TRICARE's mission is to enhance the Department of Defense and the nation's security by providing health support for the full range of military operations and sustaining the health of all those entrusted to their care.
TRICARE offers a range of health care plans. TRICARE Prime is the mandatory health care option for active-duty service members. Family members of active-duty service members, retired service members and their families may also use this option. If you use TRICARE Prime, you are assigned a primary care manager at a military or network provider who delivers most of your care. If you need care your PCM cannot provide, you are referred to a specialist. Active-duty service members and their families pay nothing out of pocket for this option; however, there is less freedom to choose your provider. On Jan. 1, 2018, TRICARE Standard and Extra were combined into a new plan, TRICARE Select. Select is a standardized fee-for-service plan available to family members of active-duty service members, retired service members and their families. After you enroll in TRICARE Select, you may schedule an appointment with any TRICARE-authorized provider. Referrals are not required, but you may need prior authorization from your regional contractor for some services. You will pay a copay or cost share based on the type of care and provider you see. Costs for Select vary, but you will pay an annual deductible as well as a percentage of covered services. Non-network providers may charge up to 15 percent more than the TRICARE allowable charge; you are responsible for these extra charges. TRICARE also offers plans for remote and overseas locations, reserve military members, young adults who are no longer covered under regular TRICARE coverage and other scenarios.
TRICARE coverage is completely portable, so it moves with you when you relocate. Follow these simple steps to ensure you have no break in coverage when you move:
- Do not cancel your TRICARE Prime enrollment option before you move.
- Update your personal information in DEERS immediately when you arrive at your new location.
- Select a new primary care manager.
If you are already using TRICARE Select, moving is easy. When you arrive at your new location, update your personal information in DEERS. Then find TRICARE-authorized providers in your new area. Remember, you may have a new regional contractor and claims filing address.
TRICARE's online tools can help you find and compare plans that you are qualified to use. Beginning in 2019, however, TRICARE allows you to switch between plans only if you have a "qualifying life event" such as the birth of a baby or a move. For a complete description of the types of coverage programs and regions, visit www.tricare.mil. For more information about recent changes to TRICARE, visit https://tricare.mil/changes.

Southeastern Installation, widely known as SII Dry Kilns, has once again decided to donate to the Empty Stocking Fund.
Like many other individuals and organizations, SII president Dan Mathews said giving to the fund had become a tradition for the company. SII donated $1,250 to the Empty Stocking Fund — $250 in memory of Dan's father, Paul D. Mathews, $250 in memory of Dan's brother, Tom Mathews, $250 in honor of Dan's mother, Dorothy Mathews, $250 in honor of Dan's sister, Paula Turlington, and $250 in honor of all the SII employees.
"We started doing it in memory of my brother years and years ago," Dan said. "He always made sure that the needy got a little help at Christmas. And that was part of the deal and that was the tradition he started while he was alive and we've carried it forward here."
According to its website, SII was established in 1969 as a kiln installation and refurbishing business and is now known as a primary company in the lumber drying industry.
Dan said the donations served as a way to give back to the community.
"It's just something that we felt like always made sense," Dan said. "We felt like it was a very good cause."
Donation forms for the Empty Stocking Fund run periodically in The Dispatch and can also be sent in on a sheet of paper.
All donations should be mailed to The Dispatch, Empty Stocking Fund, P.O. Box 908, Lexington, NC 27293 or delivered to the office at 30 E. First Ave. Checks should be made out to the Empty Stocking Fund.

Searching the podcast by name and go directly to the link that says "Click here to play the audio clip" does work. Has anyone encountered the same problem? I was able to play prior podcast before the new Web design. I am using Chrome browser on a Windows 10 laptop. Thanks in advance for any insights.
Hi Susan, I have the same problem. It was impossible to play.

Moms are amazing. How we keep it all together literally blows my mind. There isn't a single second of the day that I am not multi-tasking, even if it looks like I'm doing nothing I actually have schedules, lesson plans, and to-do lists running through my mind. All the time. I have days when I am pretty proud of myself…..when school goes well, the house is maintained, the kids behave, I make some amazing meal, and I have enough time and attention to go around for everyone. On those days, I actually do feel like a super-hero. Of course, I also have days when I feel like a total failure. I definitely have my share of days when I'm more like super-mom's evil twin, grumpy loser-mom. But even on my very worst days, my kids are fed, they make it to their activities, and they know they're loved….so all in all I guess those days aren't complete failures.
But this isn't a tribute to me, it's about all moms; stay at home moms, single moms, working moms, mothers of grown children, homeschool moms, and every other kind of mom. Moms are the glue that hold families together. I might be a little biased, but I'm pretty sure that of all the mothers there are, OF moms have to be some of the very toughest. Half of the time we are single moms. We have to continually deal with the change in our responsibilities as we adjust from being the only parent, to a co-parent, and then back to single parent again. It's a tough cycle, especially since no mom ever gets a day off. From the second you become a mom, you are on the clock. And OF moms are usually pulling double duty on top of that. Motherhood is the most rewarding job in the world, and also the most difficult. Considering mothers work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for years on end, it's probably a miracle that we have any "good" days at all!
As moms we don't all agree on parenting, and we don't have to. But what we do need to do is support each other. Let's use our super-powers for good and lift each other up instead of break each other down. So this is my big pat on the back to all the moms out there – – especially the hardworking OF moms. You are wonder-woman, every last one of you. Keep up the good work. And the next time you have one of those days – – when the kids are arguing from the second they get up, the sink is clogged, no one has clean socks because of the Mt. Everest-sized mountain of dirty laundry, you are serving Pb&J for the umpteenth time in a row, and you haven't remembered to check the mail in two days – – remember, you are a super-mom and you are doing a fabulous job.

This was a pretty exciting week for the MMO industry with the announcement of Raph Koster's new MMO studio and Tencent investing in Funcom. We also have news about the revenue for Pokemon Masters and a report that shows 4 major game companies are using a UK tax policy meant to boost local developers to dodge paying millions in taxes. All of that and more in this week's MMO Business Report.
Tencent Becomes Funcom's Biggest Shareholder
Perhaps the biggest surprise this week was the announcement that Tencent had invested in Funcom and become its biggest shareholder. The Chinese company now owns a 29% share in Funcom. This is on top of owning or partially owning these others; Grinding Gear Games, Riot Games, Epic Games, Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, Paradox Interactive, Frontier, and Supercell. As part of the agreement Tencent acquired all the shares that had belonged to the Norway based KGJ Capital AS.
"We are very pleased to see Tencent come in as the largest shareholder of Funcom," says Funcom CEO Rui Casais. "Tencent has a reputation for being a responsible long-term investor, and for its renowned operational capabilities in online games.The insight, experience, and knowledge that Tencent will bring is of great value to us and we look forward to working closely with them as we continue to develop great games and build a successful future for Funcom."
Funcom recently announced it had acquired exclusive rights to develop and publish games based on the Dune IP over the next 6 years. They're already working on an open world sandbox game set in the Dune universe and they're working closely with Legendary Entertainment who are releasing a new Dune movie next year.

Fortnite Revenue Down Significantly in the US
According to US market tracking firm Edison Trends Fortnite's US revenue in July was down 52% year on year. That's a 75% drop from its peak in December 2018. The firm also had a look at what consumers are spending their money on. In Apex Legends and Fortnite the answer was overwhelmingly virtual currency. Apex Coins accounted for 96% of spending on Apex Legends while V-bucks accounted for 83% of the money spend on Fortnite. For PUBG and Call of Duty it was the game itself that accounted for the majority of money brought in. For PUBG the game accounted for 94% of the game's revenue with G-coins accounting for 4% and Packs accounting for 3%. Black Ops 4 was a slightly different story. The game accounted for 69% of revenue, 19% from CoD Points, 4% from Passes, and 8% from other add-on content.
Finally, the firm tracked loyalty by looking at how many people purchased something in game in June then did it again in July. Apex Legends performed the best with 62% of spenders buying something in June and July. PUBG was at the bottom of the 4 games they were studying at 38%.

Raph Koster Launches a New Studio with $2.7 Million in Funding
MMO icon Raph Koster has announced that he is launching a new studio, Playable Worlds with a starting fund of $2.7 million. The investment is being led by Bitkraft Esports Ventures with 1UP ventures, and multiple angel investors. The first project won't have an esports emphasis though. The studio has said that they're creating "an online world where a broad range of players can find a home, whether their preferred playstyle is exploring, adventuring, socializing, crafting, or player versus player combat."
"I'm incredibly excited to bring a new world to players," Koster said. "Technology has caught up to the visions we always had of alternate worlds where entire societies can form. It's time for that dream to be fulfilled."
Along with Raph Koster the studio has a lot of other big names from the MMO industry that include the following impressive list:
- Mat Broome, Studio Art Director – H1Z1, Planetside, DC, and Marvel
- Brian Crowder, Lead Server Engineer – SOE, EA, Zynga
- Greg Costikyan, Lead Game Designer – Backflip Studios, Boss Fight Entertainment

4 Major Video Game Companies Avoiding Millions in Taxes in the UK
According to a report from The Guardian, Sony, Sega, WarnerMedia, and Take-Two Interactive have all taken advantage of a UK tax policy that is intended to boost the domestic video games industry. They've been using the Video Games Tax Relief to avoid paying tens of millions of pounds in corporation tax.
WarnerMedia has reportedly claimed up to £60 million, Sony £30 million, Sega £20 million, Take-Two Interactive £42 million. Alex Dunnagan, a researcher at TaxWatch UK, said the new findings show the scheme had "become a cash cow for large, tax-dodging multinational corporations who are milking the system to extract hundreds of millions of pounds in subsidies from the British taxpayer. It is clear to me that much of the subsidy is unnecessary, as many of these corporations were producing hugely popular games since long before the introduction of VGTR."

Pokemon Masters Brings in $33 Million Globally Its First Month
Pokemon Masters has now had the second highest grossing launch month for a Pokemon mobile game, second only to Pokemon Go. Japanese spenders led the pack, accounting for 58% of the first month's revenue. Meanwhile players in the United States brought in 19% of the spending, $6.3 million. Hong Kong, Taiwan, and France rounded out the top 5 markets for the game. Total spending during the first week averaged at close to $3.5 million a day, but since then it has been declining. Spending now averages $230,000 per day.
The game has been downloaded by nearly 12 million players globally on the App Store and Google Play. This puts its average revenue per download at $2.80. However, the Japanese playerbase spends an average of $12.90 per download, which matches the spending on Pokemon Go for the country. Players from the United States on the other hand are spending $2.33 per download.
The game isn't taking the world by storm like Pokemon Go did, but it is performing incredibly well and it looks like it will have a long life, at least in Japan.

Ernest Bevin College's Summer Camp in China successfully concluded at Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine (HUCM) on 3rd April. During the ten-day Chinese Summer Camp, teachers and students from Ernest Bevin College (EBC) not only learned Mandarin Chinese but also experienced the colourful traditional Chinese culture featuring traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
Summer Camp in China is an annual project of EBC Confucius Classroom, which is now in its third year. The programme included a Mandarin course, traditional culture studies, a family day, and TCM experience. During the Mandarin course, both the teachers and students were actively involved. After ten days' training, the students were able to communicate in Mandarin and were enthusiastic about the content of learning -- some were able to name the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac.
The activities that the students enjoyed most were calligraphy and Chinese kung fu. After two lessons in calligraphy, the students were able to write their Chinese names, which impressed the teachers so much that they said the students were geniuses. Marie Dorcely, Head of Languages at EBC, could already speak some Chinese. She said that she liked China and wrote "I love China" using Chinese characters. During the kung fu class, the students first appreciated the introductory martial arts performances by the students of the Martial Arts Association at HUCM. They were then divided into groups based on their interest to learn taiji, nunchaku, the drunken fist and wellbeing exercises. The students' performances at the end of the course were highly praised by the audience.
The students also participated in the TCM workshop. After learning about the functions of different herbs and the basic principles of Chinese wellbeing, the students creatively stuck various herbs onto paper in the shape of Chinese characters and dragons. The students then visited HUCM's TCM Hospital, where they observed various types of treatment, including TCM massage, cupping and acupuncture. They also learned about various basic concepts, such as the balance between yin and yang and the tao following nature. Some students had the privilege of experiencing neck massage, which they claimed was the highlight of their trip.
In addition, the students visited the Forbidden City and climbed the Great Wall. Traditional Chinese culture fascinated the students so much that some of them expressed a desire to study or even work in China. When the Summer Camp concluded, the students said goodbye to their Chinese friends and hoped to see them again.
CITCM, the organiser, works with Harbin Normal University and Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine, and organises a number Summer Camps featuring TCM for its Confucius classrooms. This not only provides the teachers and students from British secondary schools and universities with opportunities to learn Mandarin and experience Chinese culture in China but also fosters exchange and mutual learning among students of both countries and develops an increasing number of informal social ambassadors who are familiar with the language and cultures of both countries.
By Wang Mingliang, CITCM

Hi Gio This is in regards to a matter that occurred on Kamdesh. 2 individuals began team killing at a friendly HAB that had just been built. 1 individual shot and killed our SL (whilst he was in the driver position of the techie) and then you shot and killed other 2 friendlies in the squad i was part of with no reason given. You were then banned on the suspicion of intentional team-killing. If you have a different interpretation of events, feel free to share.

**ViKiNG** started following JD85
Not enough information from the opening post to make a conclusion. On face value, you could say that he broke even and cost the enemy 1 ticket for each time he died himself. But what was he doing during the round? Some of those kills might have been enemies on a cap point, preventing a flag from being lost and therefore changing the outcome of the game. Some of the kills might have been a SL and his medics before they could put down a FOB/fresh rally, again potentially changing the outcome of the game. The nature of the kills he was getting may have outweighed his own ticket cost in deaths. Every time you kill someone in a round could have an impact on the outcome, depending on what that individual was about to do. So many variables. You'd need to see gameplay of him for the whole round to make a accurate conclusion as to how much he impacted the result (and therefore assess his level of 'usefulness'. On a personal level, i do use my KD ratio per game to measure my 'proficiency at killing', but i also know i was playing objectives and to my SL's orders (though you only have my word on that).
TLR in.
Why aren't you playing Squad?
JD85 replied to YankeeSamurai's topic in General DiscussionI'm still playing V9 squad, but not as much as i was. Agree with some of the other comments regarding playerbase issues. More frequently then ever i seem to be in games where a lot of people just don't know the basics of how flag caps work. I know to a degree that this knowledge should be reinforced by the SL's, but even some of them don't know how it works. Personally, i'd like to see some more visual aids on the map reminding players of which flags need to be defended and which can be capped. Too often there are whole squads attacking flags that can't be capped whilst defence flags are left empty. I know the whole point is to have SQUADS working together and coordinating, but that often isn't the case at the moment and a lot of people (either intentionally or through not understanding the basics) do not play the active objectives.
[Solved] High latency constantly.
JD85 replied to [7cav]Dusty's topic in Software SupportI've also been experiencing this on some EU servers but not others...
Worth upgrading graphics card or look at a new build?
JD85 replied to JD85's topic in Hardware Tech SupportSuper sampling: 1.5x (i turn it down to 1.25 on some heavier maps) Effects: High View distance: EpicShadows: MediumFoliage: High
Worth upgrading graphics card or look at a new build?
JD85 replied to JD85's topic in Hardware Tech SupportYep. I'm now pretty happy with performance and visual quality with my I5 2500k, 980ti and 1440p screen (about 60-90 FPS on average). Means i can hold off on a new system build whilst the game is further developed/optimised and also allows more time for the new range of CPU's to hit the market.
What FPS do you get playing Squad with your rig?
JD85 replied to sgtcaboose's topic in Hardware Tech SupportUpdate after 9.9 I5 2500K @ 4.2 16 GB RAM @ 1660 mhz 980ti 1440p monitor Runs extremely well following the recent update. On most maps i seem to average around 60-90 FPS on full servers across various maps (drops if i'm sat in the middle of lots of smoke) Super sampling: 1.5x (i turn it down to 1.25 on building heavy maps) Effects: High View distance: Epic Shadows: Medium Foliage: High
I've seen developers (i believe) saying that they want it fixed too and it's a cheap tactic, and i recall one post saying it'll be addressed by the new animation system. So it's looking good! From the animation we've seen, it looks like the player model takes one hand off the weapon to support him as he lays down, so hopefully that means you'll be brought out of ADS
Has it been confirmed that this will fix the drop-shot issue? At the moment you can remain aiming down sights whilst you go prone, allowing people to drop and fire accurately at the same time. I hope the new animation to go prone will prevent you from firing with a short delay
Worth upgrading graphics card or look at a new build?
JD85 replied to JD85's topic in Hardware Tech SupportI'm OK with performance for now and upgrading my 760 to a 980ti has provided a decent enough boost so i'm holding off on a new build/upgrade. It wouldn't have been exclusively for squad if i did upgrade. I'm aware that people with much superior systems are reporting similar performance (sometimes worse sometimes better) so i agree it's hard to gauge what's worthwhile when the game is not yet optimised or close to launch.
Worth upgrading graphics card or look at a new build?
JD85 replied to JD85's topic in Hardware Tech SupportThat was my rough average but of course it varies on map to map and i haven't really been tracking it in much detail. I'd say most the times i'm in combat it's around 45-50, then around 50-75 when out in the wilds or being driven to a point. Either way, perfectly playable for components that are mostly 6/7 years old. Only the GPU and some additional ram are the changes i made to improve squad performance, and i'm surprised i get the FPS i do when combined with the ingame settings.
Worth upgrading graphics card or look at a new build?
JD85 replied to JD85's topic in Hardware Tech SupportThanks, though recently i'm having some more stability woes and having difficulties finding the source. I'm tempted to bite the bullet and do the new build sooner rather then later and i'm happy to buy something like the I7 7700k which will still be capable for years to come i imagine. I'm well aware that the majority of my components (except for the GFX) are nearly 7 years old, so they've exceeded my original expectations. Only downside of course is that it will be on a Z270 board which won't handle the new CPU's, so a future CPU will require a new MB. I doubt i would look to upgrade again though for a few years if i go down the 7700k route.

NIKKI SIXX Talks About 'Lies Of The Beautiful People' (Video)
A short video clip of MÖTLEY CRÜE/SIXX: A.M. bassist Nikki Sixx talking to the Artisan News Service about the inspiration for SIXX: A.M.'s new single, "Lies Of The Beautiful People", can be viewed below. The song comes off the 11-track companion piece to MÖTLEY CRÜE/SIXX: A.M. bassist Nikki Sixx's "This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography And Life Through The Distorted Lens Of Nikki Sixx" book, a follow-up to his New York Times bestseller, "The Heroin Diaries".
"Lies Of The Beautiful People" tackles contradictions in society. Contradictions that inspired Nikki and even had Nikki questioning, "If I find beauty in all these places that most deem 'freakish' and 'macabre,' then why do I also, at times, seek out beauty in what society calls beautiful? Am I contradicting myself or am I able to actually look beneath the surface when others sometimes can't? This is a good question. Make no mistake when I refer to 'the lies of beautiful people,' I mean what I say but I am also saying look beneath the skin."
He continued, "I've always had an eye for the oddities in life. Even as a kid I saw the world in my own way and thought most things that were different were beautiful and magical. Even things that other people thought were horrifying and disgusting and weird. . . . People say I have a distorted lens. I think I see things as they really are. I felt the need to bring my visions to life. This project is raw, it's what I see and feel through writing, through photos, through video and through music."
"This Is Gonna Hurt", the sophomore album from SIXX: A.M. — the band consisting of Sixx, DJ Ashba (also of GUNS N' ROSES) and James Michael — sold 30,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 10 on The Billboard 200 chart.
The "This Is Gonna Hurt" album as a whole deals with many raw, human issues. Nikki talks about the CD as "pulling back the veil on your internal truth," saying, "We are who we are… Either poisonous and evil or honest and willing… Willing to make a difference… I haven't led the life of a saint nor do I intend on it now." The album — produced entirely by James Michael with writing credits going to Sixx, Michael, Ashba and band friends John William Lowrey and Blair Daly — dives deep into meandering emotions through epic melodies. The resulting work is a deep, dark and intoxicatingly addictive mix of sounds and passion.

As millions of U.S. taxpayers prepare their annual tax returns, so begins a season of scams that taxpayers must be weary of, especially the elderly and immigrants who are most often victimized and taken of their hard-earned money.
The bottom line is to be careful and mindful and to know your rights. Most importantly, know that IRS officials never will contact you via phone.
IRS officials will send letters bearing IRS letterhead for any bills that need collecting. They will never ask for a wire transfer of funds, or request a debit card, credit card number or gift card for payments over the phone. They will never threaten to immediately bring in local police or other law enforcement agents to have the taxpayer arrested for not paying. They will never threaten deportation or license revocation if the victim doesn't pay. IRS agents will never demand that taxes are paid without giving taxpayers the opportunity to question or appeal the amount owed. And they will never call about an unexpected refund.
If someone calls and says they are with the IRS, hang up quickly. Don't give them any information.
Report the call with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration via the IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting web page. Or call (800) 366-4484. Also report it to the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov at their "FTC Complaint Assistant" page and indicate "IRS Telephone Scam" in the notes.
Sadly, since October 2013, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reports at least 12,716 victims have collectively paid out over $63 million as a result of phone scams.
And "in a new twist being seen in recent weeks," local IRS officials report that identity thieves have even been filing fraudulent tax returns with refunds going into the real taxpayer's bank account and then following up with threatening phone calls trying to con the taxpayer to send the money to the scammer.
The level these scammers will stoop to now is almost unfathomable and shows how citizens must up their game and be ready to deflect those who would try to prey upon them.
Hanging up and being curt on the phone is OK. And we especially direct this advice to the World War II Generation, AKA "The Greatest Generation," which has the reputation for being overly kind and caring and tend to get taken by those with nefarious intentions.
Stay safe RGV. And hold on to the money that Uncle Sam says is rightfully yours.

The Right Red
I put 3 layers of red before I liked the result. Quin Magenta, which is a beautiful red, Napthol Red light to warm it up and then a mixture of the Naphtol red and cad yellow light, glazed on to brighten it up. I wish I could have saved more of the quin magenta spots but I could not 'recreate' them by mixing white into the quin magenta. That produced a sort of light purple.
Question of the day that I have been mulling over. How true to stay to the original images? I'd like to remove the Very Very Christian iconography in some of the images. I feel it limits the audience and also does not represent who I am. Thoughts?
Mai-Liis says the paintings are funny to her. Are they funny to you?

Female entrepreneurs and women in leadership go through many unspoken struggles as they climb their way to success. So, I'm elated to share an interview on the topic that just dropped yesterday on the wonderful Girl Skill Podcast.
Women in Leadership
The theme of this podcast is women in leadership. I share many of the inner struggles I've had to overcome as a female entrepreneur as I grew my business online and abroad over the last decade.
We touch on my struggle with bulimia and body image issues. I also talk about my old crazy 18 hour work days, my big decision to move to Costa Rica, and the spiritual awakening that changed my life forever.
We go in-depth into my healing journey with sacred master plants like ayahuasca and how my mindset and heart have shifted dramatically.
The lovely host, Anna, also asked me how I found my love, JP Sears, and what inner work I had to do to get there.
I share my opinion on what it means to be "feminine" and stand fully in your power as a female leader.
Women in leadership face issues like these every day. There is a ton of gold in this interview that I know will empower and inspire you on your unique journey.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and stuck as you find your voice and rise as a leader, this podcast is for you!

So, what is your biggest challenge being a leader in your personal and professional life? What have you overcome, or what are you striving through right now that you wish to overcome? Comment below and tell me all about it. I'd love to hear from you!

Seminar Minor bodies of the Solar system (28 June 2017, 15:00)Опубликовано: 23/06/2017
Speaker: B.M. Shustov (INASAN)
Title: "Meteorites and their 'parents' as witnesses of the evolution of the Solar System, threat and resource for the future"
Abstract: The introductory talk is devoted to a very broad list of subjects, but all the topics discussed are closely related. The goal is to show how important is the consistent study of meteorites, asteroids and comets for building the comprehensive picture of evolution of the Solar System, what progress has been made in this direction and what major problems are still waiting for the solution (for young scientists to note). Brief information is provided on the progress in solving the problem of asteroid-comet hazard (based on the materials of the on Planetary Defence Conference 2017). Special attention is paid to promising research on the development of methods and means for using the resources of small bodies of the Solar System.

PULASKI CO., Ky. (WYMT) - The mayor of Somerset is accused of hitting a teenager with his car and then leaving the scene.
Kentucky State Police say the collision happened Sunday evening at South Maple Street in Somerset.
Troopers say Victoria Smith was riding a bike when she was hit by a vehicle, which then drove away.
After investigating, troopers say witnesses identified the driver as Mayor Edward Girdler of Somerset.
Girdler was cited to Pulaski District Court for the charges of leaving the scene of an accident and failure to render aid or assistance.
The young cyclist was taken to the Lake Cumberland Regional Medical Center in Somerset, then airlifted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center.
Smith says she stopped before crossing the road. When she had the light to go, she says she pedaled through when a car came toward her and hit her.
"But he didn't want to say, 'are you okay? Anything happen?' He go on," said Smith.
Smith's mother, Melody Bradshaw, was surprised by the identity of the driver.
"I couldn't believe it was the mayor that didn't stop and even see about the kid. At least," said Bradshaw.
Girdler says he left because he didn't know he hit anyone, but says he did come back and cooperate with police.
"Everyone exited and I left not knowing anything had occurred," said Girdler. "There was no indication there was any injury or accident."
Police are still investigating the collision. Girdler tells WYMT he wants to stress that he was not arrested and that he was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Girdler will appear in court August 29th.

Swift, 24, already has residences in Nashville and Los Angeles and recently bought a seaside summer home in Maine.
She caused an uproar in August 2012 when she bought a seven-bedroom mansion across from the famous Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Mass. At the time, she was dating Kennedy scion Conor Kennedy, son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
She eventually ditched Conor and sold the house seven months later for $5.7 million, nearly a $1 million profit.
Taylor Swift Eyes New York City Real Estate
(Click Photos to Enlarge!)
Swift, who comes to New York City fairly frequently on business, seems to have a sharp eye for real estate and likes it as an investment.
She was spotted looking at apartments in tony Greenwich Village, according to The New York Daily News.
One of the properties is a pricey townhouse at 9 Saint Luke's Place that's on the market for $12 million. It was previous owned by author and playwright Arthur Laurents, who penned West Side Story, among other works.
The 1850s-era four-bedroom, 4,400-square-foot house is mansion by Manhattan standards. It last sold for $10 million in 2011, following Laurents' death. The posh neighborhood includes several celebrities. It once rented for $35,000 a month.
Swift also reportedly scouted out another more modest townhouse on the market for $6.25 million. The house, located in a historic neighborhood of Federal and Greek Revival townhouses, was built in the 1820s. Robber baron John Jacob Astor developed the property, according to the listing agent Halstead Realty.
Neighbors who are aware of Swift's interest in their street are probably apprehensive about the potential new neighbor. Celebrities draw too much attention from fans and paparazzi, causing constant disruption.
Swift likely has already ruled out these two properties, otherwise real estate brokers wouldn't have revealed her interest in them, and both have been on the market for some time. Still, it's nice to see where her taste lies.
Which house do you think Taylor would buy? Answer: Any one she wants. She made a reported $55 million last year.

A year after Michael Brown's death, two rallies face-off
COLUMBIA - Two separate groups of demonstrators faced-off in front of Columbia's City Hall Wednesday following days of tension between the Columbia Police Officer's Association and city manager.
On Sunday, the CPOA made a Facebook post, which has since been removed, stating it stands by Wilson's actions and declared Aug. 9 "Darren Wilson Day."
One group, organized by talk-show host Gary Nolan, said it was pro-law enforcement and Darren Wilson. The other group, which included Missouri's NAACP President Mary Ratliff, expressed a dissatisfaction with the insensitivity of the CPOA and people who support the organization.
Both groups arrived at 5 p.m. Around 40 people showed up for each rally, totaling around 80 people in front of city hall.
"I thought it would nice here for chance, we came down here, for change rather, if we came down here and supported law enforcement," Nolan said.
But others, like protester Willy Maxwell, came to show their disapproval of recent actions of the CPOA director, Dale Roberts.
"I'm protesting what I consider to be a racist, insensitive and unprofessional statement by the president of the Columbia Police Officer Association," Maxwell said.
Missouri's NAACP President Mary Ratliff agreed.
"The police officer association ought to be sensitive enough that they know there is brokenness in this community and to do healing in this community, this would open a wound and this would cause this kind of reaction in Columbia that is only going to get worse," Ratliff said.
City Manager Mike Matthes called for the removal of Roberts from CPOA and said he wouldn't ask voters to fund hiring any more police officers until he no longer held his position.
"I think it was a very courageous thing that he did," Ratliff said.
But people in the crowd of pro-law enforcement, like William Goddard, stood by the CPOA's director.
"As an individual, he has the right to voice his opinion, and he should not be chastised, should not be threatened by a city official for doing what he feels like is the right thing to do," Goddard said. "I'm tired of people trying to be politically correct and ignoring the fact that the police are here to help serve and protect the citizenry. Not just the black citizenry. The citizenry. And I think what the city manager did was wrong so I'm here to say something."
Demonstrators dispersed around 6:30 p.m.
