Three years ago Odd Tales' creative director Tim Soret criticized Anita Sarkeesian for radicalizing and mobilizing Liberal Social Justice Warriors into advocating censorship and demonizing the gaming industry for any portrayal or utilizing of a female who portrayed femininity or sex appeal.
We saw games like Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 prohibited from being released in the West for fear of an SJW backlash, and a number of other games censored or attacked for not falling in line with the Social Justice Warriors' Cultural Marxist agenda, such as the developer of Rimworld, who was assailed for not being more inclusive of certain homosexual traits in his game.
Soret's criticisms originally took place back in late 2014 where he compared the current censor-heavy Liberal authoritarians (headlined by third-wave feminists) to the Religious Right. He mentioned that both groups have been aiming to censor games.
The tweets, however, were dug up as part of a smear campaign led by some of the individuals who partook in harassment and doxing under the Crash Override Network organization. Soret was attacked so viciously that the publisher of the game apologized on his behalf and reproached him for not buying into the falsehoods perpetuated by Sarkeesian.
Well, following the fallout, Soret took his one opportunity during the PC Gaming Show at this year's E3 event to apologize to the SJWs for not "listening" and "believing", or toeing the party line for the Liberal propaganda machine. You can check out the video below courtesy of RequiemsVoid.
In case you don't want to watch the video or you can't hear him quite right through his thick French accent. Soret explains…
"There are some tweets I made in the past. I want to apologize for those. They do not in anyway represent who I am today or what The Last Night will be about."
The apology was quick and snappy, and likely came at the behest of his publisher Raw Fury who had apologized on his behalf beforehand and had mentioned that if he still held those views about Sarkeesian and feminism that they wouldn't be working with him.
Now for the absolutely bizarre part about this whole thing: The Last Night was originally about SJWs having such authoritarian control over society that it became this nightmare of thought-policing, information control, and behavioral despotism. Soret originally wanted to explore what would happen if the so-called "Progressivism" got out of hand and escalated compared to the already censor-heavy society we live in today.
So in an unironic twist of fate, the same SJWs that the game was about, came out of the woodwork to attack Soret and thought-policed him into an apology. Bizarre.
Also, the Social Justice Warriors were angered that Soret wanted to include Vivian James in The Last Night. Vivian has been a mascot for better ethics in media journalism since 2014, and those in the media who apparently wish to maintain the status quo of corruption consistently attack Vivian James. Thankfully the transgressions of the media transcends branding, and the site DeepFreeze.it chronicles all of the unethical behavior by corrupt game journalists.
After being attacked by SJWs, Soret had mentioned to Jonathan Holmes via a tweet that he would not be including Vivian James in the game. The Liberal authoritarians have literally strong-armed a developer into not including a character or discussing certain themes relating to their real-life behavior.
Nevertheless, The Last Night looks like a fantastic game but sadly the publisher and developer were forced to kowtow to the feminist-controlled Liberal media.

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, (October 30, 2008) – A new, refreshed version of the International® 9800i, with a mid-roof cab, made its debut in front of commercial vehicle customers, industry experts and consumers at the Johannesburg International Motor Show (JIMS) this week.
"The 9800i is a popular truck because of its reliability, low cost of ownership and all round performance. Standardizing the mid-roof will make the 9800i even more cost-efficient for our customers," said Bob Jones, Chief Commercial Officer of Navistar International Trucks of Southern Africa.
Featured prominently at the International display, the updated, top-of-the-line 2009 International 9800i includes the new mid-roof cab that becomes standard mid-2009. The flat roof remains an option. The evolution of the 9800i cab has seen vast improvements, including increased leg room for the driver; air-assisted clutch; redesigned and vastly improved air conditioner system with added vents; new instrument clusters with ivory gauges which are easy to read in day or night; fully air-suspended driver and passenger seats; and dual lockable storage compartments within the cab. The 9800i mid-roof double sleeper cab ensures comfortable sleeping facilities for both drivers — a must after a long day on the road.
Another version of the 9800i on display is the 8x4 rigid chassis which is suitable for long-distance operation at maximum GCM providing customers with superb payload productivity.
"Our vehicles enjoy a strong acceptance in South Africa and we intend to grow our position in this market by continuing to grow our comprehensive line-up of reliable, cost-effective trucks," said Tim Quinlan, regional vice president for Navistar in South Africa.
Also featured at the show is the increasingly popular International 7600 6x4 tractor fitted with a Cummins ISM 400 horsepower engine, Eaton Fuller auto shift transmission and a conventional extended cab with a sleeper bunk. Accompanying the 7600 is a 7400 6x4 rigid chassis complete with a TFM 12-cubic meter capacity tipping body. The 7400 6x4 chassis, which comes standard with an Allison fully-automatic transmission, is extremely versatile and suitable for on- and off-highway mixer, refuse compactor or tipper applications.
Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) is a holding company whose subsidiaries and affiliates produce International® brand commercial and military trucks, MaxxForce™ brand diesel engines, IC brand school and commercial buses, and Workhorse® brand chassis for motor homes and step vans.

Last Updated on
Appmaker, the Codecanyon WooCommerce app alternative is renown for providing quality WooCommerce Android apps. CodeCanyon provides codes and plugins for different domains including WooCommerce apps, WooCommerce themes, plugin and more. Whereas appmaker provides dedicated app builder for converting WooCommerce websites into native WooCommerce apps. And the rest feature bundles comes along with it.
Lets take a deeper look at the features provide by appmaker for WooCommerce apps.
And how come appmaker better than Codecanyon WooCommerce App?
#1 Appmaker provides native mobile apps:
A hybrid or web app wouldn't just be enough for E-Commerce store. as for it, the quality is the first factor which is given priority for.
The number of users that wait for an app to load is very rare. Shoppers leave before the app gets loaded.
For a WooCommerce website to lose customers implies a depressed sales. A native mobile app helps retain customers and increase sales. Native mobile apps build with appmaker promises fast performance and a high degree of reliability.
Appmaker builds interactive WooCOmmerce apps which have access to the features of the local device.
Buying Codes alone is not sufficient to satisfy the properties of native mobile apps.
#2 Managing the app:
" Christmas is nearing". A changeover for E-commerce/ WooCommerce mobile app is essential. With Appmakers interactive dashboard, the store owners can easily manage the app. They can add event special banners, sliders and even more to the store with the appmakers dashboard.
The entire store theme is customizable whenever the user intends to.
However, if you are buying codes from Codecanyon for WooCommerce app,
- You should have the technical knowledge to manage or edit the apps since the app's code has to be edited for this.
- Need to hire a developer to make changes to the app. For sure, This is gonna cost you more.
And if you end up in deciding to make no changes to your WooCommerce store, That's less entertaining and boring.
#3 Real time app updates:
App updates are important as they can improvise the working of the mobile app.
WooCommerce apps listed out in Codecanyon WooCommerce apps doesn't guarantee app updates.
To bring the creativity and make the user interface more winning, the store owners can make changes in the following,
- App icon and name
- WooCommerce App theme
- Add or remove languages
…And a lot (a lot) more…
Unlike Codecanyon WooCommerce app, Appmaker provides real-time app updates for WoOCommerce apps. Moreover, all the updates that are made by the app owner are reflected immediately at the app.
In order to improve the stability of apps, appmaker provides full backend assistance.
By continuously monitoring, appmaker's tech team deals with the critical patches and security breaches.
#4 Technical knowledge:
The main problem with Codecanyon WooCommerce apps lies here.
The store owners necessarily may not be techies who know to edit and update a WooCommerce app.
Buying code alone can be hectic for non-techies and newbies. Managing the entire app with code alone is complex and time-consuming. A developer has to be hired every time the app owner wants to edit or make a change which is gonna cost more. Be ready to face it if you go for Codecanyon Woocommerce app builder
Whether the store owner is techy or not, the WooCommerce app build with appmaker can be managed even without knowing the basic coding.
Above all, appmaker provides full assistance for the store owners throughout the business.
#5 Interactive Dash Board:
if I may say –"managing made super simpler"
The appmaker's dashboard lets the store owners manage the entire app with just drag and drop. By logging in to the Appmaker's dashboard, the store owner can edit the In-app page and all other content without any difficulty.
The WooCommerce apps offered by the Codecanyon vendors like Vectorcode does not provide an Interactive dashboard. The store owners will need to edit the code if they wish to make any changes to the app.
Summing up
There is nothing new about building an app with no innovations. Apps for WooCommerce websites are supposed to be interactive. It's not just about building an app without progressiveness. WooCommerce apps should serve the purpose of your WooCommerce store- mainly meant to drive more customers and sales.
With just the codes the likelihoods to gain this is very low. In contrast to CodecanyonWooCommerce apps, Appmaker's WooCommerce Apps helps you build a responsive native mobile app for Websites.

INTCAS CEO, Zakaria Mahmood, has made a comical statement from his sinking ship about this whistleblower website. In a desperate attempt, this crumbling bogus college recruitment fraudsters with long track records of immigration crimes and documents forgeries have come out finally from hiding. Obviously, their intention was improper in design and miserably failed in execution.
Our demands are clear and simple. We are asking for nothing but the truth. Zakaria Mahmood who uses "The Board of Directors of INTCAS" as a preferred nickname for his failing one-man show, also known as INTCAS, refers the facts on our website as "Fake Articles and Videos". It is hard to imagine how INTCAS can dispute facts (for example the shocking videos exposing Zakaria Mahmood's criminal operations in the Middle East).
The whole tune of INTCAS statement shows how scared and desperate Zakaria Mahmood is becoming. In the whole statement, he fails to address the question that simply "why" such people are devoting their precious time and hard-earned cash to expose INTCAS corruptions and frauds. Every single person would say, maybe they are telling the truth. It is clear that no one chooses to start a whistleblower website and get involved to expose such a dangerous Pakistani criminal gang.
Thankfully, Zakaria Mahmood and his gang have upset a lot of hardworking men and women and they attract literally no sympathy. The level of their criminalities both in the UK and Pakistan cannot be swept under the carpet. We have established a wide network of people who have been deceived and ripped off by INTCAS and Zakaria Mahmood.
Our Demands
We would like to ask a few questions publicly. And it would be great if "the Board of Directors of INTCAS" could make a comment on that. Is Zakaria Mahmood ready to testify under oath if he has ever:
- Forged any documents to delude the UKBA immigration system in order to obtain Highly Trusted Sponsor accreditation?
- Been involved in running and facilitating fraudulent and bogus colleges recruitment?
- Used genuine CAS numbers to issue a visa for bogus students even though he knew their intention was to claim asylum when they arrive in Britain?
- Sold fake documents (including passports, visa stamps, IETLS certificates) through his agents in Pakistan?
- Sexually harassed and taken advantage of vulnerable female staff in London?
- Hushed staff, who knew about sexual harassments of asylum seekers?
We appreciate if INTCAS has any comments on them.
This website will stay here until we are fully paid back every single penny Zakaria Mahmood has stolen from us.
Zakaria Mahmood and everyone assisting him should be aware. This time they have upset the wrong people. They will be exposed. "You ain't seen nothing yet".

Meet Our Contributing Editors: This month we talk with Jim Tune, senior minister with Churchill Meadows Christian Church in Toronto, Canada, and director of Impact Canada about why he still believes in the Restoration Movement and thinks you should, too.
You've developed this reputation as "the Restoration Movement guy." And I've always appreciated your balanced perspective on it; on the one hand, you live in a post-Christian country and you're more interested in telling people about Jesus than engaging in doctrinal battles. At the same time, you have a high value for the movement. What's the story behind the story?
When I had this huge conversion and left the marketplace and entered ministry, I was called to a 120-year-old church of Christ that really could've been dropped into Toronto from some Kansas cornfield. It was old-school Restoration Movement.
And some parts of it grated on me, because sometimes it seemed like people were more concerned about winning people to the church of Christ than winning them to Christ.
This just blew me away. So when I planted Churchill Meadows, I acted like it came out of nowhere, that it was rootless. But then I began to attend some conferences, and I met awesome and amazing people who had a much more irenic spirit and more kindness while still believing in our movement.
So I understand why some church planters and megachurch pastors shy away from movement things. If they've experienced that strong sectarian approach, they often want to distance themselves, and they may even feel an embarrassment about our movement.
Yet now you're not only a fan, you're a scholar. I heard you're listening to all the sermons that have been preached at the North American Christian Convention?
All of them since the 1960s—hundreds of messages—plus I've studied other archival material on topics and texts going back to 1927. When I'm doing my 20-hour drive on vacation, I'm popping them in and we're taking notes and I'm reading the manuscripts. I'm actually doing this for fun. It's not a thesis I'm working on or anything. But I went pretty deep with it, and began to categorize themes and topics over the years.
For better or worse, there used to be an incredibly stronger focus on doctrine. Today, messages that talk about our movement or its key ideas, even in a winsome way, are virtually nonexistent. They're certainly not keynote. And I understand some of the reasons for that, but now we hear almost nothing about it from the main stage, and I don't think that's helpful, either.
For years I've heard, "People aren't interested in the movement. You can't teach the movement." But when I teach about it at our church—simple things like measuring faith and practice by the Bible only or doing Bible things in Bible ways—people actually find it compelling and relevant. Only one of my elders comes from a Restoration Movement background, but they've all bought in because I've presented it as what's great and beautiful about our plea instead of what's wrong with other churches.
Right—because while those old sermons might have been great in many ways, they certainly were focused on what we were against. I'm more interested in talking about what we're for.
Absolutely. David Wells [of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary] says movements need to exhibit three characteristics: a commonly owned direction, a common basis upon which that direction is owned, and an esprit that informs and motivates. I think it used to mean something significant to affiliate with this movement. I'm not sure that's still there for most leaders.
I hear criticism that all we do is bang the baptism drum, but I would say that in a lot of our churches, they can't even find the drumsticks anymore. Even our distinctive position on baptism for the remission of sins—I think some church planters, and I've been there, are afraid to teach that. And I'm not talking about water regeneration, because I certainly don't believe taking a bath is going to save anyone without faith and repentance and confession and all of those things. But our understanding of what the Bible teaches about baptism as the biblical response to the gospel—a generation of people have really backed off on that as well. And I just don't think we need to be ashamed of our movement or ashamed of what we believe.
It's a balance. There's a saying that if the mailman stops to fight with every dog that barks, he'll never get the mail delivered. There was a time in our era that we stopped to fight with every dog that barked, and that's not who I want to be. We need to know Jesus the person, not just the plan. But if we do still have a commonly owned direction, we need to get better at passing it along to our church planters, our students, and our leaders.
This dynamic is affecting other groups, as well.
Sure, it's going on everywhere. I recently read a blog post by Ed Stetzer pleading with young Baptists to stay with the Southern Baptist denomination and offering several reasons why they should. I see it primarily in my work with church planters—there's a sense of free agency that really bothers me. It's like we become such unembarrassed pragmatists, we'll just go with whoever will write the check.
I've seen church planters who I knew fundamentally disagreed with some of the reformed teaching of the Acts 29 Network sign off on a doctrinal statement they didn't agree with so they could get the Acts 29 money, even though their entire Christian leadership training had taken place in one of our schools, and maybe was even subsidized by old-timers in the congregation who thought there was value in sending this kid to Bible college.
You mentioned you've successfully taught this at your church. How are you doing it?
We have a training and equipping center with eight courses spread over two years, because the people coming to our church don't even know the words to "Jesus Loves Me." We have to really start from the beginning.
One of the courses is church history, and we talk about the characteristics of the New Testament church, the first one being love. We spend three weeks on the Protestant Reformation and three weeks on the Restoration Movement, and they eat it up, Jen. They do. The freedom we have that makes us so attractive to the maverick comes because some people really had to go against the grain. Our movement was radical, and our people really like it.
So we teach it, and our elders have to know it. Our church planters have to get the Christian Standard. Again, that might sound old school, but it's sort of a family journal, and we think it helps them identify with a sense of something bigger, especially when there's only seven or eight of our churches in this province of 16 million.
We proudly support the institutions, and we make it fun. It's not hard. We had over 100 people from our congregation decide a 12-hour bus ride to the NACC might actually be fun. And it was. We had a lot of young people come, and it was a church adventure.
I think we sell people short when we assume they don't want anything deeper.
And there's still this way to excuse a lack of commitment to our tribe and to our history by bringing up junk that used to be part of the problem. There's this temptation to substitute technique for truth and therapy for theology and management for ministry, and sometimes we've become more enamored with church growth than theological substance.
Martin Luther said, "Softness and hardness are the two main faults from which all the mistakes of pastors come." I think many of our younger leaders today—in repudiating one danger, which is a hardness—have fallen into sort of an open-armed, undiscerning ecumenical embrace.
I just want to be about being a Christian only, and no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible. There could be worse things to be known for than that, and I'm trying to be a bridge between both camps.
We're so careful about not wanting to sound sectarian today that we go to the other extreme. And yet the Southern Baptists have an Identity Conference. They're not ashamed to go for two or three days and celebrate what it means to be good Baptists. That doesn't thrill me a whole lot, but. . . .
For all of its shortcomings, I believe the Restoration vision is intrinsically valuable and that if we relinquish that vision, we will do so at our own peril. This is because the Restoration vision is finally nothing more than a tool that allows us to take our bearings from the earliest Christian age. It helps us to discriminate between human traditions and the divine will. It allows us to ask if such and such a doctrine, practice, or perspective is really authorized by Scripture, or only by some human system devised at some point along the path of Christian history.
D. A. Carson was reflecting on how movements lose their edge, and he said, "One generation believes something; the next generation assumes it; and the third generation denies it." I think the group of leaders who were at our churches in the 1980s and '90s, backing away from the legalism, assumed our heritage would continue. If we neglect our heritage and fail to teach our doctrine, will our legacy be a generation that denies both?

Great interview Jen. Thanks for publishing this.
Jim, all I can say is, "Amen! And may God raise up more leaders like you in our movement."
The world needs more people like Jim Tune. I've known him for over twenty years and was under his Ministry for a time and really appreciated everything he does for God. If I ever became a pastor or minister (if that's God's calling), then Jim would definitely be a mentor. He's blessed! Thank God for Jim Tune. I appreciate your interview. (Isaiah 40:31)
So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. — Romans 11:5
May the remnant be blessed and grow in grace and truth!
Excellent job and Jim is a bridge between two camps within the movement. Love the work you are doing Jim.
Well said Jim! Well said!
I am a youth minister in Virginia Beach, VA, we recently began a study of "Training for Service" for new members. I am very interested in the course mentioned that is taught over two years which your church has . . . how can we get a copy of this?
I have a vhs course done by Bob Russell with our key doctrines . . . are you interested in me sending this to you?
May God continue to bless you as you share the "Restoration" principles, may they not be forgotten!
Matt – here is my email – email@example.com – send me a note and I'll see what we can get to you. Glad you enjoyed the interview!
This month's interview with my friend Jim Tune is indeed timely and informative. However, as a believer in the Restoration Movement and it's Plea, I felt the questions to be interesting.
The underlying assumption of the questioning seemed to be that the purpose and message of the early Restoration preaching was "against" and not "for". One needs to be knowledgeable of the facts that in the 1960s many Christian Churches and even individuals were defending themselves against an aggressive attempt by the Disciples of Christ to seize assets of our churches.
College professors were being fired for defending the sufficiency of the Scriptures and entire colleges were being taken over by the spreading liberalism.
If the preaching of the day seemed to be "against" I would propose that it was well founded.
This strong defense was the basis for a rebirth of our Bible Colleges and many of our congregations.
I don't wish to paraphrase my friend, Jim Tune, but his allusion to what many planters are falling into recently reinforces the message that one has to stand for something or fall for anything.
It's a little scary, honestly, that in the Christian Churches, someone preaching the Restoration Plea and encouraging the message of the Restoration Movement is seen as an anomaly.
Well said, my friend! Our job is to make Jesus known – 'bring them into the kingdom world through Jesus', but then we must feed them, nurture them and help them to grow in their 'new found world/faith'. As they grow they will need to story the Bible over and over and over again, and if the Restoration Plea and the many books written by men of faith can help them understand and grow strong in their faith, then bring them on. They do need to be able to give an answer for their faith if they are going to be in a position to make Jesus known to others.

Doctoral Researcher 'Development And Implementation Of' Value-Based Health Care 'Policy And Care Innovations In Health Care'
We are looking for an enthusiastic and curious junior human scientist who wants to set up a sociological doctoral research into developments and implementation of 'Value-based health care' (VBHC) policy and care innovations in healthcare. The candidate will be employed within the Center for Sociological Research (CeSO) of the Faculty of Social Sciences.
The aging of society leads to a growing need for care and a related rising (economic) cost for health care. More and more hospitals are introducing the 'Value-based health care' (VBHC) concept to provide an answer to these societal challenges. Value-based health care aims to organize healthcare with a focus on health efficiency (outcome-oriented care), rather than purely on the basis of quality or cost efficiency.
In this doctoral research, qualitative research (document analysis, interviews, ethnography) investigates how policy and care instruments to implement value-based health care are developed, how hospitals implement these instruments and what the implications are for the (organization of ) healthcare. Against this background, this doctoral project specifically examines:
The social context in which Value-based Health care is posed as innovation in health care;
How Value-based Health care is embedded in health care policy and how instruments are developed for this;
How Flemish care institutions use (these) instruments and translate them into practice;
What social implications Value-based health care has for the provision of care.
The PhD student works closely together within the Life Sciences & Society Lab and the Work and Organizational Change (WORC) research group, where the necessary expertise is available to successfully set up this research process. The doctoral student is given the freedom to set his own accents in setting up the research process.
The doctoral student will perform 10% educational tasks for the Center for Sociological Research.
Candidates for this position can submit the following qualifications:
You have a master's degree in sociology or another social science discipline (economics and business sciences, psychology, anthropology, science and technology studies, general social sciences, management and policy of health care, etc.) Students who graduate this academic year are also encouraged to apply;
You have very good theoretical, analytical and methodological skills for conducting qualitative research, and you are willing to develop yourself further; Expertise in conducting quantitative research is a plus;
You have thorough knowledge (or a willingness to further develop it) of social science research into contemporary developments in healthcare, organizational sciences, and Science and Technology Studies;
You have good organizational, written and oral communication skills;
You have a strong knowledge of Dutch and English, both orally and in writing;
You are a team player who can also work independently.
Within the Center for Sociological Research (CeSO), the Life Sciences & Society Lab and the Work and Organizational Change (WORC) research group work at the interface between technological, organizational and social developments in healthcare. The unique collaboration between the two research groups gives the candidate the opportunity to develop further in a growing academic and social domain.
The candidate is guided by an excellent team with a broad expertise in developments in the (organization of) healthcare.
We offer full-time employment for 1 year from 1 September 2019, which after positive evaluation can be extended to 4 years to successfully complete the doctoral program.
To apply, we expect you to:
- A curriculum vitae

But does anyone else find it frustrating that methods sections in publications often appear to be written by someone who either had no idea what the method was, or no inclination to share it?
I've just been asked, quite reasonably, to reproduce an HPLC analysis where the original method tells me how the sample was made (good) what instrument was used (not especially helpful), that the column was a core-shell from Phenomenex, with its physical dimensions. It neglects to tell me the column chemistry, the solvents, or the gradient (i.e. everything that actually mattered). It ends by saying "Internal standards for <the names of all the analytes, none being an internal standard> were used to generate standard curves for quantification of the respective compounds." which leaves me thoroughly puzzled: did they use internal standard calibration or external?
There's a reviewing issue too: it's quite difficult for 2 or 3 reviewers to have expertise in every part of a multi-disciplinary paper, and it's quite likely 1 or 2 of the reviewers are sufficiently senior that they no longer have any contact with lab-work. Being unpaid and busy, the reviewers probably won't try too hard anyway, and if the methods are buried in some supplementary stuff in a different place to the main paper, it's quite likely some reviewers won't even read it. Clearly no one who knew anything about HPLC read this method.
This sort of situation seems to happen so depressingly regularly.

Today was our first TRICK or TREAT PARTY ever!
During the last 12 years in The Netherlands we had to improvise to keep this scary, sweet tradition alive-in the name of my American husband of course!
The Dutch know what Halloween is, but nobody really cares about it! As soon as our children were old enough to appreciate the sweeter things in life we were off: Our cars were filled to the rim with dressed up children and we drove around the neighbourhood to our pre-arranged addresses!
Not today! Let me take you on a tour around the neighbourhood and show you what our boys had to deal with:
This one is quite harmess!

"Reading Digital Fiction" project at SHU
The Reading Digital Fiction project has two core aims. Primarily, as keen readers of digital fiction, we want to introduce more readers to digital fiction. To achieve that aim, we are organising various public events including workshops, exhibitions, and writing competitions to introduce people to this exciting new form of literature. Secondly, as cognitive stylisticians, we are interested in how readers process particular linguistic and multimodal features within digital fiction. We are therefore running several reader-response studies, collecting data from readers in order to understand how digital literary reading works cognitively.

This past week, for five days straight, we have had heavy rain. Finally the other day some blue, a lovely blue, began to show itself behind the thick cloud cover we'd gotten too used to. I'd gone to visit Eileen and Jim last weekend when the rain began in earnest, so our usual treks to gardens and trails were reduced to a fast few hours at Biltmore between the drops.
Instead, we spent the weekend on two of our favorite indoor activities: we did a puzzle (the one I brought, birdhouses in a mess of leaves sunny and shaded, drove us mad), and we baked.
Rainy days, it always seems to me, inspire filling the house with good aromas. I will be quick to note that not all baking does well in damp weather (this from experience), but mostly the effort yields soul-satisfying results.
What we worked on were treats for our upcoming Florida return in early June for our brother Tom's memorial. So much of the family will be together...a too-rare occasion...that we thought some family comfort would be welcome. Tom's brilliant wife Jean had already sent us the message that mourning clothes were prohibited ("No suits and ties!" she wrote), only bright, cheerful array, please. We were quick to agree. It reminded me of another funeral seventeen years ago, when the dress I most wanted to wear (and did) was cardinal red; black just didn't seem to reflect what my heart was pounding out, no matter how devastated.
Anyway, the first thing we thought to make was, of course (family will understand this qualifier), biscotti. Though over the years Aunt Sadie came to prefer Judy's Biscotti, a recipe she found in the newspaper, we relatively younger ones tend to start out with our grandmother's, the first one of three or four in the family cookbook. This time, though I'm often caught tinkering with it, I stuck to the traditional recipe, which the occasion seemed to call for.
But variations are always so tempting. Add grated lemon peel, add cranberries, add almonds, add walnuts, add chocolate...
To wit: a few days later, just returning home, I found an email from Alda Widmer, a new friend from Milan, which prompted a dinner together the next evening. Alda, a photographer, is planning a book that highlights her work with vegetables and fruits. When I met her earlier in the year, she and I had a linguistically challenging but entertaining chat about its possibilities, and I'd promised to help. I'd also promised that, next time she and her husband Franco Bocci came to the US to visit their son Paolo and his family, they would come to dinner. So I made good that promise first of all.
The rain still on its determined downfall, I decided to bake another batch of biscotti to welcome them. The thought had occurred to me, even while I was at work on those traditional ones, that there would be nothing wrong with a savory version. One could pretty easily cut the sugar and add herbs and/or spices and have something a little different. Though Eileen seemed lukewarm about the idea ("Let me know how they turn out," was her comment...to the tune of I probably wouldn't do it), I set out to experiment on my company. I'm sorry. Despite advice to the contrary, I do that, I'm afraid.
With all this sky-fall, you can imagine how the herbs in my garden are proliferating, so I was, as the Scots say, spoiled for choice. But as I also had some ginger in the cupboard, I reached for rosemary as a natural companion. I left the sugar mostly out, along with the vanilla, and sprinkled in a little powdered ginger to go with the crystallized dice. It worked, not only for me, but for my Italian guests and cousins who joined us. With scoops of lemon ice and blackberries, the biscotti shone.
But that was later the next day. While the biscotti cooled, I went on cooking as the ground outside soaked. I'd gone to the only market I could think of that might have the main ingredient of what I really wanted to cook for my Italian friends...a ragu of coniglio...but, alas, rabbit was not to be found. Six or seven years ago, there would surely have been a package in my freezer, but (also alas) no longer. So I picked up five lowly chicken breasts and made do with the same recipe. It wasn't bad. In fact, I was pretty proud of the whole menu, if I say so myself.
Antipasto of marinated artichokes, tuna, and pickled beets
Tomato-ginger relish, goat cheese, and ciabatta
Ragu of chicken over polenta
Orange and fennel salad over mache
with orange vinaigrette
Lemon ice with blackberries
Rosemary-ginger biscotti
In case you are thinking that guests, being guests, will, whatever they are served, politely compliment a host's dinner, I offer for proof the facts that, first of all, the conversation, in at least three languages, some unintended, was lively, and second, on the next day I fed the leftovers to my children and had no complaints whatsoever.
As far as I was concerned, the hit of the evening was what became of some spectacular heritage tomatoes--bright yellow, orange and burgundy--I'd grabbed on sale. Beautifully ripe, they were. So I thought more about that ginger and found online a recipe for tomato-ginger relish. I tweaked it only a little to produce my prize. (That recipe is now stuck in the family cookbook forever.) We could have made a meal just of the relish, the chunks of ciabatta I cut from the table basket, and a log of goat cheese, but I would never do that to dinner guests, at least not the first time a tavola.
Anyone who has been on the receiving end of what I've cooked knows too well that I am also capable of making spectacular culinary blunders, so please be generous in forgiving me for bragging a little.
I do think, however, that our upcoming neighborhood Memorial Day picnic will garner another success from my kitchen. Look what I gathered at the Saturday Farmer's Market this morning. Can you imagine the possibilities?
And another thing: on this Memorial Day, don't forget to celebrate all the people who have given our lives their most valuable gifts...life, freedom, friendship, and a good table
to bring them together.

KUALA LUMPUR: US law enforcement authorities are preparing to press criminal charges against Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, in connection with 1Malaysia Development Bhd transactions, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Jho Low could be charged with fraud and money laundering, the report said, quoting people familiar with the US investigations against Jho Low and his associates. Some of his associates might also be charged.
However, the WSJ said, the US's prosecution plans could change or be dropped as its investigations were still continuing.
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) had, last year, instituted civil proceedings against Jho Low and others seeking more than US$1 billion in assets, including luxury real estate in the US and paintings by famous artists, allegedly bought with money stolen from 1MDB.
The WSJ report said a DoJ team recently visited Singapore to interview people related to the case. It added that Singapore was also in the process of building a potential criminal case against Jho Low.
The WSJ said Jho Low, 35, and his lawyers did not respond to requests for comment.
According to the report Jho Low struck a confident tone in a New Year's message to friends this January.
"2016 was the Perfect Storm; but the calmness and resolve of our Captain, led his loyal Sailors who placed their lives with utmost trust in his leadership weathered the storm," Low had written in a WeChat message viewed by the WSJ.
"The men and women that came out of the storm were not the same men that walk in. Through struggle, they established new strengths they never knew they collectively had," Jho Low had written.
"The very moment they were brought to their knees, and their world was about to fall apart, their Captain's exemplary leadership guided them to safety; and through this experience, they achieve a new level of humility, nobility and higher intelligence ready to set sail for greater achievements in 2017 for their people!"
The report said Jho Low had largely disappeared from public view after the US filed its asset-seizure suits.
He has been mainly living in China and Thailand, the WSJ quoted "those familiar with his comings and goings", as saying.
It added that a staff member at the Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai had said that Jho Low was a long-term resident.
Singapore has charged several people in connection with 1MDB-related money transactions and even closed down the local branches of Falcon Private Bank and BSI Bank. Several other nations are also investigating 1MDB-related transactions made through banks based in those countries.
1MDB had earlier denied any wrongdoing and had pledged to cooperate with investigators.

At the end of the second century, opinion was divided regarding the authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews. Clement of Alexandria believed that Paul wrote the epistle in Hebrew and that Luke translated it into Greek. Origen thought that someone familiar with Paul's teachings wrote Hebrews, but he added his now-famous remark that "who really wrote the letter is known to God alone." At Carthage, Tertullian suggested the name of Barnabas. Christians in Rome and in the West generally confessed that they did not know who wrote Hebrews. Archer points out that "none of the ancient authorities... entertained any doubt as to the canonicity (i.e. the divine inspiration) of the Epistle," however, and that "in any event the primary author... is God Himself, no matter which human instrument He used." In the days of the Reformation, Luther favored Apollos as the author and Calvin looked to Clement of Rome or possibly Luke.
Date of writing
The date of this epistle is also uncertain. References to the Jewish order and the priestly functions seem clearly to involve the Levitical service of the Old Testament, not the distorted institutions of the first century after Christ. Nor can it be ascertained whether the calamity of A.D. 70 had befallen Jerusalem and Herod's Temple when our author wrote. Internal evidence is claimed for both positions. We must set a latest possible date before A.D. 96, for Clement of Rome wrote then and he quotes from the epistle quite freely. We can not have too early a date, for a few remarks in the epistle indicate that its first recipients were second-generation Christians (2:3-4; 13:7) and apparently not new converts themselves (5:12; 10:32-35).
Beyond what has been stated we can know little of the recipients or their precise historical situation. So far as a general statement of affairs, most scholars would probably agree with Bernard that the epistle
... evidently belongs to the last hour of translation and decision, when a large number of men, who were at once Jews and Christians, stood perplexed, agitated, and almost distracted, as they seemed to feel the ground parting beneath their feet, and hardly knew whether to throw themselves back on that which was receding, or forward on that to which they were called to cling. ]In an intense sympathy with this perplexity, and even anguish, prevailing m the Hebrew-Christian mind, and in an intense anxiety as to its issue, the Epistle was written; a living voice of power in a time of change and fear, yet a comprehensive exposition of the advancing course of revelation, and of the relation between its two great stages (pages 161-162).
Just what was involved in this crisis-time is not so clear, and regarding that there is a wide divergence of views.In an article in The Expository Times, Bruce sums up recent views regarding the epistle's recipients. Candidates include the Christians of the Lycus Valley (Colossae, Laodicea), Jewish Christians in Ephesus, Hebrew converts in Rome who hesitated to declare themselves a part of the "illicit religion" of Christ rather than the "licit religion" (in the eyes of official Rome) of the Jews, Jewish Christians of Corinth, Jewish convert hotheads who had fled to Alexandria after the fall of Jerusalem, Hebrew Christians on Cyprus, and Palestinian Jewish Christians either before or after the destruction of A.D. 70. The Dead Sea Scrolls evidence certain parallel interests between their authors and the recipients of Hebrews. Both are concerned with the position and role of angels, with Old Testament passages, with the priesthood and even with Melchizedek. This has led some scholars to posit a connection between the readers of our epistle and the Qumran community of the Scrolls, or, at least, between this epistle and converted Jewish priests.
In the midst of all this uncertainty, and with no real prospects of additional light on the subject, Filson believes "it is unfortunate that so much attention has been paid to questions of authorship, destination, place of writing and date, " and that "the frustratingly inconclusive study of Hebrews should make it clear that we cannot find certain answers to the questions: Who? To whom? From where? When?" (page 12). But we are not left with nothing. For, as Filson also points out, the author of Hebrews is to us what he has written. And that is a great deal to know and to have. It can spur modern Christians to renewed and increased awareness of what their faith can mean to them and what their faithfulness can mean to others (page 84).StructureNumerous outlines of the epistle have been set forward. One fascinating suggestion is made by Kistemaker who regards the epistle as a kind of sermon. He mm a four-point outline in the text itself at 2:17, and he suggests that the author develops each point on the basis of a quotation from the Psalms. His four points and their "texts" are:
- Christ's humanity and unity with His brethren (Psalm 8:4-6; quoted in 2:6-8).
- Christ's faith and faithfulness (Psalm 95:7-11; quoted in 3:7-11).
- Christ's priesthood (Psalm 110:4; quoted first for discussion at 5:6).
- Christ's offering of Himself (Psalm 40:6-8; quoted in 10:5-7).
Whether or not one should follow Kistemaker all the way, it is apparent -that the Epistle to the Hebrews is thoroughly grounded in the Old Testament Scriptures in general and in the Psalms in particular.
A special acknowledgement of debt is due Dr. F. F. Bruce, the late Dr. Franz Delitzsch and the late Professor Robert Milligan, from whose commentaries I have drawn heavily and on which I have leaned with great profit. (All quotations from Bruce in the comments which follow are from his commentary unless otherwise stated.) Other commentaries and books have been used to advantage, but these have been my favorites. Delitzsch represents conservative scholarship of the past century; Bruce is unsurpassed in that role today. Milligan was of my own Restoration Movement background and, in my opinion, is not given the esteem as a scholar today which he certainly is due.
A note of thanks is also due Professor Homer Hailey, whose college lectures on the Scriptures led me in due course through the Epistle to the Hebrews, and whose biblical insight I will always remember with appreciation and respect. I should also like to thank Drs. Paul Southern, J. W. Roberts and Thomas H. Olbricht, who gave me valuable experience in the exegetical method of study.
To these all and many others my sincere appreciation for insights into this marvelous epistle. Any mistakes and misunderstandings in this commentary are my own. They only are original

npm install --save gatsby-awesome-pagination
Open up your gatsby-node.js file and add this line of code (most likely underneath where you create the path constant.
const { paginate } = require('gatsby-awesome-pagination');
You will a GraphQL query that pulls in a list of items you want to paginate. In this case, I have a GraphQL query that pulls in article content from a Drupal site. You can view the previous lessons on how to create that, but any source that allows you to pull in a list of content can work. Once you have a GraphQL query that will create a list of items for you, you can add this to your gatsby-node.js file after your GraphQL query.
paginate({ createPage, items: articles.data.allNodeArticle.nodes, itemsPerPage: 5, pathPrefix: '/blog', component: path.resolve(`src/templates/blog.js`), });
It's important to note that items is your list of items you want to paginate, itemsPerPage is the amount of items you want on each page, pathPrefix is the path you want this listing page to be accessible at, and the component is the page component you want to use to display your listing page.
You will now need to create your page component template. Create the blog.js file in the src/templates folder. Your template may be different if you haven't followed along with previous lessons, but here is the entire template for reference (you can modify it to fit your needs):
import React from "react"; import PropTypes from 'prop-types'; import { graphql } from 'gatsby'; import Layout from "../components/layout"; import SEO from "../components/seo"; import ArticlePreview from "../components/articlePreview"; import Pager from "../components/pager"; const Blog = ({ data, pageContext }) => { const articles = data.allNodeArticle.nodes; return ( <Layout> <SEO title="Blog Posts" />
Blog Posts
 {articles.map(article => ( <ArticlePreview key={article.id} title={article.title} path={article.path.alias} image={article.relationships.field_image.localFile.childImageSharp.fluid} alt={article.field_image.alt} summary={article.body.summary ? article.body.summary : article.body.processed.substring(0, 300)} /> ))} <Pager pageContext={pageContext} /> </Layout> ); }; Blog.propTypes = { data: PropTypes.object.isRequired, pageContext: PropTypes.object.isRequired, }; export const query = graphql` query ($skip: Int!, $limit: Int!) { allNodeArticle( sort: {fields: created, order: DESC} skip: $skip limit: $limit ) { nodes { id title created body { processed summary } path { alias } field_image { alt } relationships { field_image { localFile { childImageSharp { fluid(maxWidth: 600) { ...GatsbyImageSharpFluid } } } } } } } } `; export default Blog;
There are a few important things to note about this template. First I created a component to display my ArticlePreview and a component for my Pager (which we will look at next). The Pager component requires pageContext which is pulled in through a prop in line 10.
In the GraphQL query, you will notice the skip and limit variables. This is how the gatsby-awesome-paginate plugin controls what items show up on each page. The paginate function we called will run this template and query once for each page and only pull the items that should be displayed on this page. The rest of the template should look relatively familiar if you have been working with other templates in the past.
The Pager component is where the pager actually gets created. I didn't do much to style the component, but once you see how to display the pagers you can style them as you see fit.
import { Link } from "gatsby"; import PropTypes from "prop-types"; import React from "react"; const Pager = ({ pageContext }) => { const { previousPagePath, nextPagePath } = pageContext; return (
 {previousPagePath && ( <Link to={previousPagePath}>Previous</Link> )} {nextPagePath && ( <Link to={nextPagePath}>Next</Link> )}
 ); }; Pager.propTypes = { pageContext: PropTypes.object.isRequired, }; export default Pager;
That's really all there is to get basic pager functionality working in Gatsby. Once you have the basics working you can modify this to fit the needs of any pagination on your site and by using a separate Pager component, you can style the pager once and add it to any list that requires paging functionality.

Policy changes helps immigrant families0
LOS ANGELES (Jan. 6, 2012) — The Asian Pacific American Legal Center, a member of the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice, applauds the Obama Administration for adopting a new process – which will be implemented in the coming months – that will direct certain visa applicants to file their applications for family unity waivers in the United States.
The Administration has decided to process waiver applications for close family members of U.S. citizens here in the U.S. before the applicant has departed for their visa interview. With an approved waiver in hand, these family members can then complete their travel and visa appointment in a short time, and avoid spending additional time and expense in their home countries.
This new procedure does not change the legal standard for the family unity waiver and it does not create any new benefit or right for applicants. The applicant will still have to meet the difficult burden of showing that a three or ten year bar from the U.S. would cause their U.S. citizen spouse or parent "extreme hardship."
APALC applauds the federal government for initiating this common sense processing change, and encourages the Administration to also permit spouses and children of lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to apply for waivers from within the U.S. and to make other changes to further enable family members to obtain green cards for which they are otherwise eligible.
"While this is a positive change to allow U.S. citizen families to remain together, we urge the Administration to permit spouses and children of lawful permanent residents to also apply for waivers from within the U.S., and to make other rule changes to further enable family members to obtain green cards for which they are otherwise eligible," said Stewart Kwoh, president and executive director of the Asian Pacific American Legal Center.
Under current immigration law, U.S. citizens and LPRs can apply for lawful permanent resident status (a green card) for their spouse or child. The numbers of green cards issued each year are limited, so many of these close family members are forced to wait in lengthy lines until they can apply for their green card.
Asian Americans are the most likely group to have family members caught in the visa backlogs. While Asian Americans are only six percent of the U.S. population, they sponsor more than one third of all family-based immigrants. As of November 2011, there were about 4.5 million people in the family backlog and almost 2 million of them come from Asian countries. After Mexico, close family members from the Philippines, India, Vietnam and China experience the longest wait times.
Currently, U.S. citizens and LPRs face unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles in obtaining lawful permanent resident status for their spouse or child. They have to file a visa petition, and once the petition is approved and the visa appointment scheduled, the spouse or child has to travel to a U.S. consulate in their home country to be interviewed. Departure itself triggers a three or ten year bar to re-entry into the U.S. for family members who are undocumented and have been living in the U.S. for more than six months. The necessary waiver of the bar must be applied for while the applicant is waiting in the home country. The decision on the waiver often takes weeks, months or even over a year to complete. Meanwhile, families are separated and spouses and children are forced to wait in potentially dangerous situations until a waiver decision is made and the visa process can be completed.

Is Asian Eyelid surgery common?
I know that plastic surgery is very common and popular in the Asian pacific. Is Asian Eyelid surgery a common procedure that is being done? What are other popular facial contouring procedures for Asians?
I can honestly say that looking in the mirror, I was self-conscious about the way my eyelids looked. Being Asian, I don't have the double eyelid, or wide eyes that are viewed as popular in the west. When I went in for my initial consultation, I was told that I was not alone in how I feel. 85% percent of people who seek eyelid surgery are women.
I used to be skeptical when it came to plastic surgery, especially eyelid surgery. However, months after my surgery, I am happy I did it. I have acquired more of a wider eye and double eyelid that has really opened up my face.
Hi, I'm assuming you're Asian, also. I had the eyelid surgery completed last year. My plastic surgeon was able to show me before and after photos from previous clients because this is a common treatment for Asians, more so for women. I was so impressed with the results shown in the photos that I decided to go ahead and schedule the surgery. My plastic surgeon created the upper eyelid fold, which is called Asian eyelid surgery. I'm really thrilled with the results. As far as other popular Asian treatments, my doctor mentioned Asian cheek contouring, Asian jaw contouring and Asian rhinoplasty. My doctor explained that he could enhance my Asian beauty without creating a Caucasian nose or Caucasian features. I'm thrilled with the look I achieved, and I may consider having my jaw contoured at a later time.
Hi I am a Nurse Practitioner in the Greater New York City area that specializes in Asian Eyelid Surgery.
Eyelid surgery is quite common in the Asian community and all other people with most surgeries being performed on about 85% of women. If you feel conscious about your drooping eyelids, this surgery can help to boost your self-esteem.
If you want to get the surgery done, you should concentrate on finding a board certified plastic surgeon that has a lot of experience in eye surgery. If you want to find the right surgeon, a great way to do it is to read reviews online. Besides that, you can research the surgeons in your area to get the procedure done. Finding a good surgeon is more than just reading their credentials; you want to find someone who has proven results.
The surgeon you find needs to make you feel comfortable with the procedure they will do no your eyelids. To answer the second part of your question, facial contouring surgery is quite common in the Asian community. It is especially so in Korea, where most young women have the procedure done. In fact, many surgeons from around the world travel to Korea to learn about facial contouring surgery. Whether you just want eyelid surgery or any facial contouring, make sure you find the right surgeon.
Eyelid surgery is more common than you think in Asia and the Asian community. I read somewhere that the correct term is "East Asian blepharoplasty", but most people just call it Asian Eyelid surgery. My friends from Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan all know someone who has gotten Asian eyelid surgery. I wanted more definition in my eyelid area. I literally have one eyelid straight down with no crease. My friends comment that I look tired or bored, and I decided I wanted my eyes to look more open and defined.
My friend's mom who lived in China for most of her life told me that eyelid surgery is so common, it is almost like a rite of passage upon graduating from school. Many graduates get this surgery to look more awake and energetic so that they will improve their chances to get a job. Here in the US, most Asian actresses have undergone asian double eyelid surgery, some more noticeable than others.
I researched surgeons in my area, and asked around to find a reputable surgeon that specializes in Asian Eyelid surgery. I found a few surgeons I want to check out, and I have my appointments schedule throughout the next couple of weeks. I want to see actual pictures and results so I know what I am in for.
Hey there! As far as I can see double eyelid surgery is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in Korea, China, and Japan. I know that there's a lot of controversy about people choosing to have it done because of concerns with Western looks kind of taking over the global population but that hasn't slowed anyone down!
In regards to your second question about what are other common Asian surgeries, I think that most of them are just global. Most of the other plastic surgeries and contouring aren't specifically aim that those of Asian descent like double eyelid surgery is. In general, it's just marketed differently depending on what country you live in. I hope that answered your question!

ImmuPharma PLC (LON:IMM) said more than 90% of the patients on its phase III clinical study of Lupuzor, for the autoimmune disease lupus, six months through the process. In all 200 suffers were recruited to the trial and all of them have now past the three month stage. A total of 46 patients, or just under a quarter, have completed the year-long assessment, while 40% have passed nine-months. ImmuPharma said it remains on track to provide top-line results in the first quarter of next year. The data was provided ahead of an investor update to be held in London that will be coupled with the company's annual meeting later Friday.

John Mellencamp feat. India.Arie – "Peaceful World" – (2001)
One of the purveyors of musical Americana had this minor hit in the aftermath of 9/11. The song was actually around prior to the attacks, but it really picked up steam afterwards – although it never officially charted, bubbling under at #104. Also, Mellencamp's face is way too airbrushed on that album cover. Right?

Everyone can have an "off" day at the gym.
Maybe you really had to drag yourself there against your will after a long day at work, or maybe your body is still feeling fragile from another workout.
That's okay – it happens to everyone from time to time.
The good news is, there are a few easy ways to maximise your workout time and get your body into gear, so you don't have to think twice when you're working out.
Stay Hydrated Throughout the Day
We all know that food is fuel, but it's just as important to keep your body hydrated before working out.
Our bodies are made up of 70% water, so it's a no-brainer that a well hydrated person is able to function and perform better than someone who is dehydrated.
It's vital to drink water before, during and after a workout.
Even the slightest amount of dehydration can affect your performance in the gym, so drink up.
A great way to remind yourself to drink water throughout the day is to bring a refillable water bottle with you everywhere you go.
The visual reminder of an empty water bottle is bound to prompt you to refill.
Eat Often
While an average diet relies on the suggested three meals a day, eating more frequently will help to prevent mid-morning and late-afternoon slumps in energy levels.
Ensuring your diet is rich in protein, healthy fats and complex carbs will assist with muscle growth and recovery, making for a stronger workout.
Building your meals around these core food groups will ensure your body is properly fuelled throughout the day, allowing you to approach a workout with a healthy mind and body every time.
Brown rice, sweet potatoes, spinach, chicken and fatty fish are all great staples.
Hydration and a healthy diet are essential to maximising your workout, but a pre-workout supplement provides an extra boost to help you excel with your performance.
Cellucor C4 Gen 4 is loved world over by gym junkies and athletes.
The formula has been refined since its initial launch in 2011 to create a more targeted and stronger result, thanks to the breakthrough ingredient: TeaCor.
C4 has proven to improve energy and endurance levels when consumed before a workout, especially when training with heavy weights.
The caffeine hit mixed with Creatine Nitrate, Beta Alaine and N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine makes for a peak performance.
The exciting flavours such as fruit punch, watermelon and icy blue razz will give you a sweet hit before you hit your workout hard.
Forget the days of drinking down a bland fluid just for fuel – you can actual enjoy every single sip of Cellucor C4!
Savour the tingling sensation as the powerful ingredients run through your body, put on your favourite gym playlist and get ready to hit your workout with new levels of energy and motivation.
Post Workout and Proper Recovery
The post workout recovery stage is just as important as the pre-workout fuel, especially when you're trying to maintain regular and effective training sessions.
Cellucor Whey products are highly recommended for a post-workout protein hit.
In particular, the Cellucor Cor-Performance Whey delivers a pure protein punch, with 100% whey protein, minimal fats and carbs, added digestive enzymes and the best flavours around.
Consuming a post-workout Cor-Performance Whey will help to maintain and build lean muscles and replenish nutrients after a workout.
Added protein is so important when you are training regularly, as it helps to re-fuel your body as quickly as possible between sessions.
The dessert inspired flavours such as cinnamon swirl and peanut butter marshmallow provide a guilt free indulgence and act as a substantial meal replacement.
The Cellucor Whey range is perfect any time of the day, but it's particularly important to consume after a big workout session.
That way, you'll be able to hit the gym again the next day with a body that is ready to train hard, lift heavy and recover quickly.

'People are really cheesed off' - How Brexit is having an impact on the doorstep for election hopefuls
PUBLISHED: 15:13 24 April 2019 | UPDATED: 15:13 24 April 2019
Election hopefuls are facing their toughest time on the doorsteps in recent memory, with frustrations over national politics proving a significant obstacle.
With the local elections looming, recent weeks have seen reports of candidates receiving abuse while canvassing and one hopeful in Great Yarmouth - Cathy Cordiner-Achenbach - punched on the trail.
To gauge feeling on the doorstep, the local democracy reporting service joined members of the Labour group on the campaign trail in the Great Yarmouth borough - the county's most Brexit-favouring area.
In the space of around 90 minutes, four candidates - group leader Trevor Wainwright, Brian and Coleeen Walker and Mike Smith-Clare - visited around 100 homes, either speaking to voters or posting leaflets.
And it soon became apparent that frustrations over Westminster were a recurring theme, casting a shadow over the local campaigns.
One voter in particular told Mrs Walker she would not be voting in the local election because she was "sick of bloody politics".
Stuart Hellingsworth, a party member who was assisting in the canvassing, said: "There is a real frustration with people in Westminster that has been having a real impact.
"There are always people that don't engage with politics, but I feel these types of people have been pushed to the next level - those who previously would have just said no, thank you, are now being a lot blunter and we've had the occasional eff off."
At one point Mr Smith-Clare found himself engaged in heated discussion around another national issue, foreign aid - something also outside of the local agenda.
After, he said: "All too often people can take things they see on social media as gospel and allow them to mould their political views. I feel there needs to be better education of which responsibilities lie at a local level and which are dealt with nationally."
Conservative group leader Graham Plant said he had encountered similar trends on the trail.
He said: "People are feeling really let down by the process in Westminster, which has an impact.
"However, I honestly can't remember there being any local election where there hasn't been something happening in Westminster that has interfered.
"Personally, I have not encountered any violence or aggression, but you can tell people are just really cheesed off with politics in general."

In Arc, when I'm dragging or selecting feature classes into a GP input, the full path of the source is displayed. This is helpful, say, if I'm merging stuff from many different folders (Did I already add the feature class from the thumbdrive? Wait, is that last one from the laptop? )
In Pro....I have to hold the mouse over each input UI, or click on it, to get the same information:
Mickey Mouse? Yes. More steps? Yes. Is that as efficient, or as fast, as I can get the same information in Arc? No......Let's say I'm merging 10, or 50, feature classes. How is holding the mouse over every one of those is going to clue you in as to which ones are in the "box", and which ones are left to grab?
