Greetings WIN LeTippers!
We started out this meeting with a great yoga warm up by Mikel Bruce of Tiny Frog Technologies. In case you didn't know it Mikel is our star yoga guy and is very good at it. Thanks Mikel for getting our blood flowing with the Warrior Pose, now if only I could get my bent leg perpendicular to the floor. Something to strive for!
Dr. Shamim Matin of Advanced Body Therapeutics described the proper way to tip. As a group we should be focusing on outside tips to bring in new business. That means that you are targeting people in your personal and business network to provide tips and potential work for the WIN LeTippers. Inside tips between each other are nice but we cannot sustain our businesses just by tipping each other. Using Assumptive tipping is a great way to keep working your networks for the good of the group and to sustain your 4 tip minimum per month. WIN LeTip is your sales force, use it well.
Next we had Good News! This segment gets longer and longer each week.
Barbara Lukehart received her 10 year anniversary pin with Youngivity
Steve Clark of Steve Clark Home Improvements announced his participation in the Del Mar Fair Home show for the first time and invites everyone to attend, dates are April 23rd, 24th, and 25th.
Debbie Bonham announced that Sew What Tailoring will be participating in the Business Connection May 6th event at The Boathouse
Jasmine Guerrero of Farmer's Insurance has hired her first employee
Wayne Fletcher of Mr. Michael's Auto Salon announced that his good friend came home safely from Afghanistan after quite a scare and injuries
Our guest this week is Amanda Vincent of Strive Personal Training where they Strive to Be Fit! Amanda told us about her personal philosophy, "caring about your long term results". We are so honored to have great professionals visit us and urge them to join us soon, we would love to build our group with their expertise and business sense. See our list of current openings on our website www.wealthinnetworking.org and come to the next meeting.
Great News, Steve Clark received his LeTip Business Card holder and Elyse Wilhm of Prudential received her nametag.

Greetings Le Tippers!
We started the meeting with another invigorating cheer of winning thoughts led by Terry Farruk of Way2Execute.
We had a lot of good news both business and personal.
- Seth O'Byrne of O'Bryne Real Estate Consultants sold a property for a blind lady and helped her make $25,000 in a down market! He personally sat with her and went over all the documentation and requirements for both parties. Way to go Seth!
- Llewellyn Falco of Spun Labs announced that he will be presenting the Digigirlz program to the US Congress! And will be presenting at the Agile 2010 conference. We are so proud of Llewellyn, he is off and running!

- Finally, Carol Lord Heuschele of C3 Marketing Consultants (and your humble writer of the meeting notes) is going to see the Space Shuttle launch in Florida with her family for vacation. Phew! That is a lot of good news!

Debbie Bonham with Sew What TailoringSubmitted by admin on Tue, 04/06/2010 - 05:55
Greetings Le Tippers!
We started the meeting with a Yoga exercise lead by Mikel Bruce of Tiny Frog Technologies. Once Mikel got our blood flowing, we introduced the new board. Congratulations to all new board members we thank you for your dedication and volunteerism.
One point that our new Tipmaster, Dr. Shamim Matin of Advanced Body Therapeutics wanted to get across is that we need to concentrate as a group on outside tips, not just tipping each other in the group.
We had good news all around with Debbie Bonham of Sew What Tailoring announcing she has a new car. Rich Yumul of Sagetree Solutions announced that he now has a 6-year old and Sue Crowder of Union Bank announced that she has been married for 32 years. And finally, Seth O'Byrne received recognition and an award in front of 2000 of his peers and had to give a speech! Yikes! This was at the Ronald Reagan museum.
Our three guests were introduced, Elyse Wilhm of Prudential Financial Services, Vina Gutierrez of Silpada sterling silver jewelry and John Taft a Videographer. Elyse is back for a second time and we will be voting her in later today.
Greg Wynn of My California Loan received his White LeTip badge today and we are excited that he has joined us. Seth received his Blue badge for having more new guests joining us.
Remember, the Big Tipper for the month is Anne Pettay of Guardian. Keep trying to tip Anne and you might be the winner of the biggest tipper to Anne for the month.

Barbara Lukehart of Youngevity announced that she has yet another grandchild and this time it's finally a girl! Way to go Barbara.
We welcomed several guests this week. Roman Schwab, a network engineer of Remsis IT-Solutions, joined us and told us how his company can keep your computer networks humming and working for you. Elyse Wilhm, a Financial Services Associate of Prudential, discussed how she focuses on clients goals and is very customer service driven. Vanessa Swafford, an Interior Designer of VanMarie Interiors, joined us for a second time and discussed how she does residential interior design and has 8 years of kitchen and bath experience. We are so honored to have these great professionals visit us and urge them to join us soon, we would love to build our group with their expertise and business sense.

The Perfect Pedometer
With so many pedometers on the market, how can you improve on them? In a few very important ways. This is no cheap cereal-box pedometer!
Have you ever used your pedometer and found it records EVERY movement you make; even those you did not want to count. So if you are on the golf course an take those swings or, if you are in a car and ride over those bumps, each movement is recorded by your standard pedometer. But not this one! Why can't they design a pedometer that you can turn off?
And why can't they design a one button - one function pedometer? Why isn't there a pedometer with extra space for your organization's logo?
Now there is a reasonalbly priced unit that answers all these desires...

Underworld 4: Awakening - 3D Movie Review
Underworld 4: Awakening - 3D Movie Review
Directed by Måns Mårlind, Björn Stein. Starring Kate Beckinsale, Michael Ealy, Stephen Rea, Theo James, and India Eisley.
Although Underworld: Awakening is shot in 3D, it's not just that which gives it a much grittier look than its predecessors. It's DP Scott Kevan (no stranger to horror, the lenser's got Cabin Fever, Tamara, Borderland, the Deathrace remake, and last year's The Darkest Hour on his resume) who does a nice job of showing how much the world has changed since Death Dealer Selene (Kate Beckinsale) was once on top of it. Picking up where Underworld 2: Evolution left off — remember, Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans, the one starring Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy, was a period piece prequel — we fang-fans find Selene having just awoken from a state of suspended animation and at a distinct disadvantage.
The bodacious brunet vamp is in a conglomerate laboratory being experimented upon and mined by nefarious mad scientist Dr. Jacob Lane (Stephen Rea), while lycan Michael (Scott Speedman) is hidden away, and the product of their union, now 10 year old hybrid Eve (India Eisley), is being studied as the completely unique anomaly she is. At first, Selene is unaware she's even a mother (sounds like a supernatural episode of TLC's "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant!"), but once she finds out, she is on a mission to save Michael and Eve from the evil clutches of the humans. Aided by mere mortal Detective Sebastian (Michael Ealy) and an uppity young vampire named David (Theo James), Selene dons the leather corset, cocks her guns, and gets down to deadly biz.
While the look of this Underworld movie is quite a bit different, so is the directing style (Swedish duo Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein, who did the 2011 thriller Shelter, starring Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys Meyers). It's less-gloomy and more dynamic, actually bringing to mind one of the Resident Evil movies — especially when the genetically "super-Lycans" appear, bringing to mind the "nemesis" in RE: Apocalypse. One thing which has not been altered is the dead-seriousness of the Underworld world. While there may be a few scenery chews from the more established actors obviously only here to collect paychecks (Rea, and Charles Dance), there isn't any moustache-twirling, and certainly no one-liners. Unlike many horror franchises which turn more and more to humor as storylines sag, Underworld isn't one of them.
There are some terrific action scenes in the film (a reverse heart-attack and a heart-stopping threat at a high-rise window spring to mind) and while they are in 3D, the medium is not overly aggressive and in fact seems extraneous at times. I guess the visual aid is just the flavor of the month right now, and all the studios are doing it. It's fine. It doesn't really add or detract from the story.
While it's great to see Beckinsale back in action, and while the Underworld series still has life in it, I'd have to say: go see this one only if you're a big fan. Otherwise, DVD will do.

I'm installing an in-line chlorinator that states I need a check valve to prevent corrosive backflow if I have the following:
-preceding valves constructed of PVC or other plastic with metallic shafts
-heaters or other items with metallic tanks, shafts, coils, or tubes.
unfortunately, I don't have a clue...
I'll attach a link to pictures of my valves and heater. The heater is a Hayward H400 lDL2 lo-nox 400,000BTU unit installed in June of 05 if that helps. I've read over the info on the hayward site, and I still am not sure. As for the valves, I guess I could take one apart, but if someone knows if the shafts are metallic, it would be great!

Don't Sniff the Cork (& 5 Other Rules for Drinking Wine at a Restaurant)
Yesterday, I outlined the rules I follow when drinking wine in general (be it at a friend's house or at a restaurant). Today, I'm elaborating on wine etiquette in restaurants specifically.
Here are the principles I try to stick by:
Don't compulsorily order the second cheapest wine on the menu. I don't know that this is widely accepted advice in the wine industry—it's more of a personal rule. The second cheapest wine on the menu may be a perfectly good choice, but order it because it's what you want, not because you want to order the cheapest wine but don't want to appear cheap!
If you have a budget, let your server know what kinds of characteristics you're looking for in a wine, then point to a couple of wines in your budget and ask if any of those have those characteristics. Even if they don't, the server is likely to pick up on what price range you're looking at and guide you appropriately.
- Which leads us right to one of my biggest pieces of advice, which is, don't be afraid to ask questions and learn! There's no need to pretend you know more than you do. Faking confidence can close off opportunities for learning. Ask your server what different wines are like, and if he or she doesn't know, I think it's totally reasonable to ask to speak to someone who can describe different wines to you so you can get a better sense of what you're looking at.
Be willing to be guided towards something you haven't tried before. Even if you don't like it, you can store that info away for future wine decision-making. If you know a ton about wine, then order confidently, and dispense your wisdom to people who want it, but, you know, be nice about it. A wine enthusiast is perfectly likeable. A wine snob, not so much.
Don't sniff the cork. In a nice restaurant, the server will still ceremoniously hand you the cork for inspection, but the wisdom has long been that the cork tells you virtually nothing. You can check to see that it is moist, indicating that the wine was stored properly (wine needs to be stored horizontally to keep the cork wet to prevent air from entering and hurting the wine), but you have to smell the wine itself to determine whether it is flawed or not.
Do look at the label closely. This is a widely given piece of advice, the reason being that even an excellent server can accidentally grab the wrong bottle of wine in the rush of service. They display the label to you specifically so you can check that the wine is the vineyard and vintage (year) you ordered. Different vintages of wine can taste very different from one another and have very different prices, all while having similar-looking labels. So, analyze that label to make sure you've been brought what you ordered.
Don't try to send the wine back because you don't like it or it wasn't what you expected. The server gives you an opportunity to smell and taste the wine to check and make sure that it doesn't have flaws, particularly that it doesn't have cork taint. A corked wine will often smell of moldy basement (as opposed to barnyard which is a desired characteristic in certain styles of wine!), wet dog, or canned tuna. It will taste flat and dull.
If you strongly feel the wine is corked, you should send it back and order a different bottle. But, if there are no flaws, it is generally considered bad form to send a wine back just because you don't like it.
- Do work together as a group to order a wine, or take turns choosing bottles. If there is an obvious host of the table, he or she will generally be looked to to choose wine, unless that person defers to someone else. But, if you're a group of friends with no obvious leader, work together to choose a wine, taking into account different taste preferences in the group and what people are ordering. Again, don't hesitate to get advice from someone who knows the wine list well.
What's the most embarrassing mistake you've made when ordering wine at a restaurant? Confess in the comments below.

Zamal Reunion from Seeds of Africa
Zamal Renunion seeds by Seeds of Africa originate from Reunion Island, which is just off the East Coast of Africa. The Zamal marijuana plant is indigenous to the island and its impressive yield and psychoactive qualities have been a closely guarded secret by the locals for centuries.
Original Sensible Seeds offer Zamal Reunion cannabis seeds to growers looking for an easy plant to cultivate both indoors and outdoors, although like many African strains of marijuana seeds this particular variety does prefer to be outdoors. This strain is classed as a tropical sativa and it produces huge plants with lots of branches and massive orange bud clusters. It is a hardy plant that has amazing regenerative qualities not always found in other hash plants. The flowering time for Zamal Renunion weed seeds is between 56 and 90 days.
Hash from Zamal Reunion seeds, usually has a distinctive spicy wood flavour. However, the plant does have a tendency to take on characteristics from its immediate growing environment, so if there are fruit trees nearby, the resultant hash may develop pleasant fruity notes.
Zamal Reunion can be enjoyed in the time-honoured way and users will love the sharp, mind-blowing highs characteristic of this strain of African sativa.

Lawrenceville >> No lead is safe.
If you've learned anything about the rivalry between Rider and Monmouth over the last five seasons since the Jersey Shore school joined the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference it's that.
Yes, that even applies to games when one has what appears to be an insurmountable lead, like the 20-point advantage the Broncs held early in the second half.
Jordan Allen scored 26 points, including a pair of late 3-pointers, and Rider breathed a sigh of relief after holding on for a 92-85 victory on Monday night at Alumni Gymnasium.
(Monmouth) likes to fight back," Allen said. "I watched them play last year sitting out, and we knew they weren't going to go away. Knowing everybody on their team, you know they don't want to lose to us."
Allen made seven of his 13 attempts from beyond the arc, the two biggest of which halted Hawks runs after they closed the gap to six and then five, respectively.
The redshirt freshman's 26 points were two off his career high 28, which he reached at Providence back on Nov. 29.
"It makes me look like a good coach," Rider coach Kevin Baggett said. "He brings something that we haven't had in my six years across the board. We have a lot of guys who can really shoot it, a lot of guys who can really score, a lot of guys who can play a multitude of positions. It really makes our offensive dynamic.
"I'm still learning this part of it because I'm a defensive-minded guys and these guys will tell you everyday I'm harping on that end. I understand that we can score, but for us to be better and more balanced and give ourselves a chance to compete at the top, we still got to focus on that defensive end."
Allen, in particular, needed to be challenged defensively. That he gave a complete performances on both ends — he had three of the Broncs' nine steals — enhanced his hot-shooting offense.
"I hear about it a lot," Allen said. "I have to step up. If you're not going to step up, you're not going to play. I have that in the back of my head and my teammates are all behind me cheering me on."
The Broncs (16-7, 9-2) extended their winning streak to a season-high five and have sole possession of first place.
Dimencio Vaughn added 15 points and 10 rebounds and Tyere Marshall and Frederick Scott had 11 points each for Rider.
Monmouth's King Rice and Baggett are friends off the floor, and the Hawks coach was very complimentary of the Broncs' performance.
"Kevin has been making this program better (since) the day he became the head coach," Rice said. "It's fun watching your friend continue to work hard. We hang out on the road, we hang out at the Final Four, we talk about our teams a lot. I try to help him in every possible way. I always want to beat him and he always wants to beat me."
Ray Salnave scored 19 points, Austin Tilghman had 18 and Deion Hammond finished with 17 for Monmouth (7-14, 3-6). The Hawks played without all-league guard Micah Seaborn due to injury.
Even though the Broncs appeared in complete control, they still had to sweat out the finish after Monmouth closed to within five at the 4:31 mark.
Stevie Jordan followed with two free throws and after Diago Quinn split a pair for the Hawks, Allen buried a 3-pointer to push Rider's advantage back to nine. Allen hit another trey with 2:08 to go after Monmouth scored four straight points to once again get within five.
"If that team wasn't together, maybe we were able to come back, but those kids were together and they fought for each other," Rice said.
The Hawks scored 18 of their 27 fastbreak points in the second half as they rallied from that 20-point deficit. The Broncs, meanwhile, scored 23 points off 19 Monmouth turnovers.
"We're rivals, we're competitors," Baggett said. "They're not going to go away. ... No lead is secure in this league."
This time Rider survived.

20 Cancelled LucasArts Star Wars Projects Revealed
A large set of cancelled Star Wars games have been revealed in a tell-all book about LucasArts, who we all know were responsible for a staggering amount of Star Wars games over the years. The logos for twenty Star Wars projects appeared in Rogue Leaders: The Story of LucasArts which was published back in 2008 although it is just now that they are coming to light. I'm not quite sure how or why no one ever thought to say anything about these before considering the book is five years old but instead we shall concentrate on some on the logos.
There is one logo that indicates that there was going to be a third game in the Jedi Knight series entitled 'Brink of Darkness' but that sadly doesn't appeared to have gone anywhere. Another logo would suggest that there would have been a tie-in for Episode 7, which of course was unannounced at the time, with the accompanying subtitle of 'Shadows of the Sith'. You can see the full range of logos here, thanks to AllGamesBeta, and it is interesting to look at the various logos and wonder what could have been.
One game that isn't in the picture is Star Wars Attack Squadrons that had a number of domains registered bearing its name recently. It will be interesting to see what that eventually holds and whether any of the logos we have see in the book will ever get made.

More Than Half of Massachusetts Parents Say Their Kids Have Access to Abusable Prescription Drugs in Their Homes
Oct 12, 2011, 11:01 ET
~ New survey demonstrates that parents should take further precautions to safeguard medications~
BOSTON, Oct. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- According to the results of a recent statewide survey, more than half of parents (56 percent) say their kids have access to their (parents') prescription (Rx) medications, and one in seven parents (14 percent) have given their children pain medication that was not prescribed for their child.
The survey was released this morning by The Partnership at Drugfree.org during a briefing at the Massachusetts State House hosted by Representative Liz Malia (D-Boston) and Senator John Keenan (D-Quincy). It showed that parents don't recognize that their children are at risk of abusing prescription pain relievers and need to take greater steps to ensure they are taking medications properly.
The study surveyed 300 parents of children 12-25 years old, living at home in the state of Massachusetts, an area that has been deeply impacted by Rx drug misuse and abuse. In fact, more people in the Commonwealth die from fatal overdoses than from car accidents each year*, and an average of 12 Massachusetts residents die each week from opioid overdoses**.
"The survey findings are alarming and indicate that parents are often providing prescription drugs to their kids in an improper and dangerous manner," said Steve Pasierb, President and CEO of The Partnership at Drugfree.org. "Add to that their acknowledgment that their children have ready access to potentially dangerous pain relievers, and we have a high-risk situation in homes across the Commonwealth. Parents need to be aware of what can happen under their own roof and play a more active role in safeguarding medications in their homes." He added, "We are pleased to work with states like Massachusetts who are making a strong and active effort to work with parents and community leaders to address the growing problem of prescription drug abuse."
Other Key Findings from the Survey Showed:
- Over one quarter of Massachusetts parents (27 percent) reported that they have themselves taken Rx pain medications not prescribed for them, at least occasionally.
- Thirty percent of Massachusetts parents still have unused pain medications at home "in case someone in the family needs them," while only 19 percent have spoken to grandparents about safeguarding medicines in their homes.
"Prescription drug abuse is of critical concern in the Commonwealth and is a top priority for our Committee," said Representative Liz Malia, House Chair of the Joint Committee on Mental Health and Substance Abuse. "I am pleased to join with The Partnership at Drugfree.org to raise awareness about this problem and help educate parents and families about this dangerous behavior."
Survey findings also indicate that kids gain easier access to Rx drugs according to the locations in which adults tend to store these medications in their homes. Thirty-six percent of adults said they store Rx drugs in the kitchen, while only 30 percent store them in a bathroom. Twenty-four percent reported they store Rx medications in their bedrooms.
"This survey demonstrates the general lack of understanding of the dangerousness and often highly-addictive qualities of prescription drugs," said Senator John Keenan, Chair of the Joint Committee on Mental Health and Substance Abuse. "Raising awareness about the danger of prescription drug abuse, and helping parents know how to get help for a child, is critical."
The statewide study surveyed 300 primary caregivers of children 12-25 years old who have had prescription pain medications in their home in the past two years. Conducted by The Partnership at Drugfree.org, the Massachusetts Pain Medication survey was administered online via a nationally representative panel by Research Now.
Time To Act: A Critical Resource to Help Parents and Families
The briefing marked the statewide rollout of The Partnership at Drugfree.org's Time To Act community education program, developed with unrestricted support from pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma. Time to Act is the centerpiece of the nonprofit's intervention resources for parents, guiding them step-by-step into action if they think or know their child is using drugs or drinking. This and other community programs have been successfully piloted in Lynn, South Boston, Dorchester and Lowell.
"Prescription drug abuse is a problem facing not only Massachusetts, but states across the country," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray, Chair of the Governor's Interagency Council on Substance Abuse and Prevention. "We will continue to work with organizations to help raise awareness, and encourage initiatives that are both proactive and preventative especially within our younger populations."

The excellent but generally under-recognized country artist Earl Thomas Conley racked up an impressive string of chart hits in the 1970s and '80s. Conley's songwriting is distinguished by its attention to detail and the emotional dynamics of his characters, and those fine qualities can be heard on classics like "Fire and Smoke" and the duet with Emmylou Harris "We Believe in Happy Endings," both of which are featured here. 16 BIGGEST HITS may not be the most comprehensive Conley set on the market, but it provides a wonderful, one-stop overview of this insightful, talented songwriter.

The Settlers Rise of an Empire will focus on building larger and more fortified cities as well as planning and optimization in a medieval world. Attributes that are typical of The Settlers series are once again the focus of the game. Gamers create magnificent cities and inhabit them with hundreds of settlers going about their daily lives.
The settlers inhabit a richly detailed world with different continents and diverse vegetation. The gaming environment is enhanced by the best graphics seen in a strategy game to date, inviting gamers to become immersed in their worlds. As the king and ruler in The Settlers Rise of an Empire, gamers control the story of their people using a dramatic story-based campaign, enjoy the prosperity of their cities, and closely observe each individual settler as they go about their daily tasks.
In this game, the player builds lively, bustling towns in a medieval world. Everything is visible, lovingly animated and realistic. Each settler has his or her own daily routine, with a range of different actions and behaviours that can be observed by the player at all times. This enables him to get the best out of his Settlers, build up a flourishing economy, tend to his settlers' needs, and protect his empire against danger from the outside. By expanding his empire, the player can aspire to becoming a legendary king or queen.
The most popular features of the predecessors in the series have been retained, and many of the fans desires and wishes were incorporated into the new game to create a very special Settlers atmosphere. The result is a realistic medieval world, captured in intricate detail. The game features an immersive, yet transparent economic system based on the resources, wares and goods produced by the settlers in their various trades and occupations.
Top features:
- The primary objective of the game is to create large, lively medieval towns.
- The settlers interact with each other in a completely natural way and have wants and needs of their own.
- Female settlers appear for the first time in the series: Men and women fall in love with each other and marry.
- The lively, detailed game world is rich in animal and plant life.
- The settlers' busy life is presented in lovingly rendered animations that show what is going on in a transparent way.
- The world is divided into four climatic zones with changes of season and weather which influence expansion and resource gathering.
- The game's instant accessibility and gentle learning curve ensure long-lasting fun; even in advanced game missions, new features are introduced.
- All interventions by the player are reflected in the behaviour of his subjects and made transparent through the animations in the game world.
- Starting with a small settlement, the player builds up flourishing towns, maintains trade relations, and claims land and villages. This requires diplomatic skills.
- Mining, gathering resources, and food production result from wise planning and the various occupations of the settlers.
- Goods transport is optimized through skilful road planning.
- Upgrading buildings step-by-step improves the effectiveness of the economy and towns.
- By hiring travelling entertainers and organizing fairs, the player acts as a matchmaker by enabling male and female settlers to get to know each other.
- The player can build walls to protect his towns from enemy attacks. In military actions, the player must prove that he has built up his empire in such a way that it can defend itself effectively.
- Missions featuring noble knights with various skills accompany the player through the epic storyline penned by Jeff Grubb.
- Included in the game: dynamic single player campaign, freeplay mode with a multitude of maps, numerous multiplayer options via LAN and Internet, and a map editor.
The Settlers Rise of an Empire will be released throughout Europe and North America in September 2007.

This condition is unusual in that it is applied in cases where there is some social discrimination, but it is not pervasive or nationwide. This condition is applied when there is sufficient background evidence to warrant the assertion that discrimination is not anomalous but widespread, and this condition may be applied for example even where if there is no legislative discrimination or where the non-religious may have legal recourse against such discrimination. However, societal discrimination (i.e. discrimination by peers, as opposed to state or legal discrimination) is not easily measured, and for this reason the Report does not currently have similar more severe boundary conditions to capture higher levels of social discrimination per se. In principle these may be introduced in future. However, we consider that countries with actual higher levels of social discrimination against the non-religious will generally already meet other higher level (more severe) boundary conditions under this thematic strand.

This condition highlights countries where schools subject children to fundamentalist religious instruction with no real opportunity to question fundamentalist tenets, or where lessons routinely encourage hatred (for example religious or ethnic hatred). The wording "significant number of schools" is not given a rigid quantification (sometimes the worst-offending schools are unregistered, illegal, or otherwise uncounted); however the condition is not applied in cases where only a small number of schools meet the description and may be anomalous, as opposed to being indicative of a widespread problem.

|Grave Violations
|Severe Discrimination
Constitution and government
2014 saw a continuation in egregious and systematic violations of freedom of thought by the Sudanese government, with religious discrimination remaining prevalent, apostasy and blasphemy still criminalized, continued restrictive application of Sharia-based provisions, and the application of public order laws allowing floggings for undefined acts of "indecency" and "immorality".
The Interim National Constitution, adopted in 2005, remains in force as the constitution of Sudan. For the past 20 years, the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) has grounded many of the provisions of the 1991 Personal Status Law, the 1991 Criminal Code, and state-level public order laws on its interpretations of Sharia. All Sudanese citizens, including all non-Muslims, are subject to these laws.
The 1991 Criminal Code allows for floggings for undefined honour-based offences, reputation and public morality issues. Public order laws further implement the 1991 Criminal Code's prohibitions, where religiously-grounded morality laws and corporal punishments are imposed through the Public Order Regime with violations being subject to lashes or a fine, or both. Laws relating to public morality and order prohibit indecent dress and the brewing or selling of alcohol. They are vague and subject to the interpretation of local law enforcement agents.
Discriminatory implementation of the law
Religious discrimination is prevalent in Sudan. Whilst Muslim men are allowed to marry Christian or Jewish women, a Muslim woman cannot marry a non-Muslim man. The implementation of criminal and civil law in terms of penalties imposed can depend upon the religion of the perpetrator involved. For example, whilst Muslims might be punished with lashes if caught producing or consuming alcohol, Christians are typically not punished if caught for the same crime. The justice minister has the power to release any prisoner who memorizes the Quran during his prison term.
Education and children's rights
All schools are required to teach Islamic education classes, but some public schools excuse non-Muslims from these classes.
Freedom of expression, advocacy of humanist values
There have been numerous reports of print runs being confiscated. Journalists also face intimidation and violence. In July 2014, Osman Mirghani, Editor in Chief of al-Tayyar, was hospitalised after his offices were stormed by gunmen. Concerns from civil society have been expressed about the lack of a fair trial in cases where arrested civilians are being subjected to military trials.
"Apostasy" and "blasphemy"
Apostasy or conversion to a religion other than Islam is outlawed and may be punishable with the death penalty. By law, a person convicted of conversion has an opportunity to recant.
There were reports that in November 2015, up to 27 Muslim men were arrested for "apostasy", on the accusation that they were Quranists (deny the authority of the Hadith), and were facing trial.
The "apostasy" death sentence handed to a Christian woman, Meriam Yahya Ibrahim, provided the most well-publicised case of apostasy in 2014. Ibrahim self-identified as a Christian and maintained she was never Muslim having been raised by her Christian mother, but Sudan insisted that since her father was a Muslim, so was she, and she should not have converted. She was released after international outcry on the issue. She was subsequently allowed to leave Sudan.
Whilst the law does not explicitly ban proselytizing, the vaguely worded apostasy law criminalizes both apostasy and acts that encourage apostasy, which could be understood to include proselytization.
"Blasphemy" is also criminalized; it can be punished by six-months' imprisonment, flogging or a fine, or both.
Highlighted cases
In May 2017 Mohamed Salih (or in some source Mohamed al-Dosogy) was arrested for "apostasy" after writing to a Sudanese court that he wanted to change the religion listed on his national identification card from 'Islam' to 'atheist' or 'non-religious'. It was widely reported that under Sudan's "apostasy" law he faced a possible death sentence. Within days, however, the case was dismissed following a psychiatric and al-Dosogy was released by the court. The test purported to find that Mohamed was not mentally competent to stand trial. Mr al-Dosogy's defence reportedly rejected the court's decision, saying the defendant never asked the court to submit him to a psychiatric test.

Only "Two of Six" Mideast Monarchs to Attend Barack Obama's Security Summit This Week
Only two of six invited Middle East monarchs will attend Barack Obama's security summit this week in the US.
Four of six monarchs will skip the Gulf Nation Summit this week.
FOX News reported:
The White House was scrambling Monday to put a positive face on an upcoming summit of Persian Gulf states after learning leaders from four of the six invited nations are expected to skip.
While those nations are still sending representatives to the summit being hosted by President Obama later this week at Camp David, the absence of crucial heads of state — notably, Saudi Arabia's new king — could present an awkward situation for the administration.
In a statement Sunday, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Thursday's summit coincides with a humanitarian cease-fire in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition is fighting Shiite rebels known as Houthis. He said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, who is also interior minister, would lead the Saudi delegation and the king's son, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is defense minister, will also attend — but the king would not.
Obama had planned to meet Saudi Arabia's King Salman one-on-one a day before the gathering of leaders at the presidential retreat. The White House, though, did not present his decision to skip the summit as a sign of any substantial disagreement with the U.S.

BUFFS!Cataclysm - Dark Days Ahead
Usually losing health from all body parts at once is a sign of radiation sickness. Have you been hanging around toxic waste dumps or zombie scientists? Pisskop's mod also makes radiation more common if you are using it.
Maybe because you are schizophrenic, you got hurt by something (zombie?) but didn't notice it. What hurts everything except the legs?
I have the same problem, even when my character is just sitting in her base doing nothing but reading, properly feed, thirst quenched, no radiation contact whatsoever (checked with Geiger counter) not artefacts, I asked this on the IRC and they suggested it might be because of low health (the hidden health stat) but I was not getting the vague messages about health ("you wake up feeling cruddy" and such) it would be good to get actual confirmation on this.Note: the damage is tiny (1 to 2)
Stats through skills (the version that come with Cataclysm) checks only when skill raises as I understand, however the damage happens even if my character does nothing but wait until tired and sleep and on the next day all body parts are healed then shortly after minor damage to all body parts (which does not show on the log)
Are you guys happen to use Stats through skills?The Calculating of the new Stats might be the cause of a change in max HP without raising your current HP.As I understood, all of you did either read books or crafted, which would cause skill progress and activate the script raising your attribues when you reach a new level in one of your skills.

The missing link between data collection and good decisions
Akvo Lumen™ is a new data transformation, analysis, and visualisation tool designed for and by international development professionals. Lumen helps you turn diverse data into high quality information you can understand, trust, share and act on. Unlock the stories in your data.
Get excited about what you can do
Lumen opens up new avenues for you to work with your data. The hard work of cleaning and transforming raw data to make it usable is greatly reduced, opening up new possibilities to explore the bigger picture.
Ask questions, combine, compare and calculate. Get inspired by fresh insights.
An essential tool for a
data-driven world
Huge amounts of data are gathered via many different collection tools, and stored in countless repositories and silos. Often, useful information never reaches the people who need it.
Lumen makes it easy to combine data sets, including your own and ones from any other source, and make them accessible to anyone who needs them.
Link to or upload data sets from diverse sources. This includes surveys in Akvo Flow, data.worldbank.org and others.
Turning messy data into high quality information you can rely on just got much faster and easier. Clean, filter, aggregate and combine datasets, and enrich them with geocoding, scores and calculations.
Build graphs, maps and charts quickly and easily. See and show the stories captured in your data.
Easily design and create online and shareable dashboards. Display your visualisations with context. Share them with a limited audience or the world, via a website, iframe or widget.
What our partners say
We constantly work to get higher quality data to make pro-active decisions and increase the quality and impact of our work. Akvo has already transformed our ability to do this and Lumen will help us go to the next level. We currently spend a lot of time analyzing data to identify trends and provide our field teams with useful information. As the number of our programs and the amount of monitoring data we collect grow, this is quickly becoming burdensome and slow. Lumen will enable Lifewater staff around the world to get up-to-date information, so we can make faster, better programatic decisions.
Pamela Crane-Hoover
Vice President of Global Programs
The development of Akvo Lumen was made possible thanks to financial contributions from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and Cisco.
We take a collaborative, partnership approach to supporting you on your data journey. And we provide a range of training, support and consultancy services to help you at every step of researching, transforming, analysing and finding insights within your datasets.
Local training
We train people – from data specialists, through to project managers and decision makers – to use Akvo Lumen to its full potential. Our courses fit around your team's schedule and location.
Regional support
We provide regional and remote support, with offices and staff working across East and West Africa, South Asia and South East Asia and the Pacific, Europe and the Americas. Our online help centre provides a range of learning resources in English (and French coming soon). But if you get stuck, we're here to help.
Programme design
Akvo can help you plan the data visualisation you need for your programme. Our experts can train and support you to apply effective monitoring and evaluation practices.
Data analysis
We can train and support you to find data sources, conduct analysis and create visualisations to find meaning in your data, and translate it into information that can be used. We can also help you with advanced data analysis to find hidden patterns and make predictions based on datasets.
Open data publishing
Akvo can help you to apply best practices in data sharing. We advise on formats, designs and how to ensure the data is useful for your audience. On top of that we can help you with your own website with integrated data visualisations.
Sector expertise
Akvo people have vast experience of data transformation, analysis and visualisation, from small to very large scale, in water and sanitation, education, agriculture, healthcare, disaster response, energy and other sectors.
Multiple data sources
Lumen lets you upload data sets directly from Akvo Flow (soon this will include monitoring forms and repeated question groups), as well as CSV files from a local computer, or via a link from other locations.
Easy to use
The clear and well designed user interface is fast and simple to use, even if you don't have complex data skills.
Fast data cleaning
In a few mouse clicks, you can remove white spaces and blank cells, change case, apply filters, switch data type, solve inconsistencies in numerical and date-format, and sort, rename, combine or delete columns.
Merge data sets
Easily combine data sets from different sources to release new stories and insights (coming soon).
Make calculations
Derive new columns to carry out calculations and create new expressions, e.g. to implement a decision model, check data quality or apply scoring based on the contents of several other columns.
Transformation logs
Lumen logs all the transformations made to your data, so the process is fully transparent. You can look back to see who did what, and revert to old versions if you need to – removing the risk of damage to your data.
Lots of visualisation options
Use Lumen's curated data sets (coming soon) and your own data to create interactive bars, pies, areas or line charts, maps, pivot tables and scatter plot graphs – all in moments.
Create dashboards
Organise your visualisations into attractive dashboards, and design how you want them to look. Bring your insights together, add context to tell the stories of your data, and share them online.
Easy to share
Publish your dashboards and visualisations in the form of a website, iframe or widget on a variety of devices, and with a variety of access possibilities.
Automatic updating
Visualisations and dashboards will automatically update when the underlying data changes. In future you can schedule these updates.
Data flows
Transformations will be automatically reapplied when new data comes in and you refresh your data set. This means live data can be cleaned and transformed, and existing static data can be turned into self updating, flowing data sources.
Monitoring Flow data
Easily import and work with Flow monitoring data. This means you can analyse data over time, assess the quality of your data collection process and monitor progress towards your goal (coming soon.)

"It's strange how things turn out. For generations, games have strived to drop their blocky, bleepy image of artificiality in order to compete with the more established media. They've made the move into 3D. They've spent year after year tweaking their polygon counts and deepening their textures like a preening teenager on a Friday night. Cinematic cut scenes sometimes seem to take up as much disc space as the gameplay, and lush, movie-style soundtracks now take full advantage of DVD storage capabilities. Hell, even Mario, that eternal king of the merry little ditty, has gone orchestral these days. But while all of this has been happening, the very media that games have tried to ape have been going the opposite way."

As the Maumelle cross country team is learning how to train and run the rugged cross country trails, the Hornets are also having some success.
The Hornets have run two races thus far, and the boys are showing their talent by winning the 4A-5A division at the Shiloh Christian Invitational on Aug. 31 and placing third of 16 teams in the OBU Invitational last Saturday. The girls didn't have enough for a team at Shiloh, but sophomore Jordan Marshall was eighth. At OBU, they did have a team and finished eighth out of 15 teams.
On the boys' side, they have not beaten by a 5A or under team yet. Also, two runners have joined the team and include Will Redwine, a transfer from Academics Plus, and Hayden Anderson and have given the Hornets a solid top seven runners. Senior Adam Hoy, sophomore Sean Adams and junior Cody Motes are the leaders of the team with their dedication and maturity.
"I'm not really surprised with the results, but surprised they are listening," Coach Nick Taylor said. "They are doing what I expect them to do and running certain paces when I tell them."
The girls are still adapting to the course. Three of the Hornets have never raced farther than 800 meters, and Kayla Gamble, Akeia Joyner and Kamillah Phillips are sprinters so they have to get used to pacing themselves and allowing others to pass them. Marshall is the anchor of the team, and Taylor expects her to get better.
The Hornets compete Thursday at Bryant and then at the end of the month.

Kristen Stewart Smiles While Robert Pattinson Romances Riley Keough
Kristen Stewart was seen putting on a brave face in Paris on July 3, as sources confirm exclusively to HollywoodLife.com that Robert Pattinson & Riley Keough's relationship is not only happening, but it's built to last!
While Riley Keough's rep claims that she's not dating Robert Pattinson, sources close to Rob have reconfirmed to HollywoodLife.com exclusively that they are in fact seeing each other. Kristen Stewart, on the other hand, isn't letting the news put a damper on her time in Paris during Fashion Week.
Kristen Stewart: Robert Pattinson Dating Riley Keough — KStew Smiles Bravely
Rob 27, and Riley, 24, are just trying to hide their relationship, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
"If [Rob and Riley] don't want to make it official then that's fine, but there's an attraction. They just don't want it in the news and don't want it to look like they are shoving it down people's throats. They are having fun and people [close to them] consider them dating. If they [themselves] don't, then it's a technicality," a source told HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
Plus, we've also learned that people close to the new couple think their relationship will go the distance.
Robert Pattinson & Riley Keough: Their Relationship Is Built To Last
"This relationship has all the tools and is built to last, because they really get each other. It's so new and they have just started entering the honeymoon phase, so it's only a matter of time before you'll see them out again, no matter how much they'd like to hide it," our source says.
Rob is concerned because his four year relationship with Kristen became so big, publicly, they had a hard time going anywhere without being hounded by fans or the paparazzi. Rob likes Riley because she can go out in public unnoticed.
This news comes as Kristen appears to be putting on a brave face in Paris during Fashion Week. She was spotted entering her luxury hotel on July 3, wearing a huge smile on her face, as though she'd just won an Oscar! We don't blame her — a smile is always better than tears. We are certainly happy she's putting on a strong face during this difficult time. She's clearly not going to let man troubles ruin her time in Paris.
Daily Mail has also confirmed that Rob an Riley are dating.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are Rob & Riley hiding their relationship?

I used to go to the library all the time when I was kid. As a teenager, I got a book on how to write jokes at the library, and that, in turn, launched my comedy career.
Like I said, all comedy is based on exaggeration, big or small, whatever you can get away with.
I just liked stand-up comedy so much. I used to memorize Bill Cosby albums and other people's albums, George Carlin, Flip Wilson.
I don't know, people take chances on stage. It's a big free speech zone, a comedy show. So sometimes things happen, you say things that are a little bit off the edge.
I used to go to the Cleveland Comedy Club all the time. If there was a comic I liked, I'd go see him two or three times that week. Bob Saget was one of those guys.
There's nothing like the energy in a small comedy club room or a small theater when it's going really well. I can see everybody's face practically in the whole room. There's no cameras in the way, and it's just me.
TV is easier: it's all planned out for you, and the audience is there to see a show and they are all pumped up, but when you are in a comedy club, you have to be really funny to win them over. To me, that's more pure.
