The launch of scheduled operations coming closer, Brightline is readying equipment and personnel by commencing simulated services. The testing programme will comprise running up to ten trains per day between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Brightline eyes the launch of scheduled services between the two cities at some point in December 2017, with Miami being connected in the near future. The image above shows Brightline's full fleet, consisting of five uniquely liveried trainsets of two Siemens Charger passenger diesels and four Siemens Viaggio Comfort USA coaches.

Build Guide by Freshwalrus
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

Shaco Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Rune Logic: Armor pen gives more versatility and damage options than simply building pure crit damage for his decieve, crit damage runes limit you greatly. Dodge cause he so squishy. Cd reduc for obvious reasons, faster use for abilities.
Skilling Logic: Decieve is the main damage dealer, max first for kills, shiv is next for it is the slow that allows the finishing blows after decieve, max second, always grab hallucinate when possible, hallucinate is very good, if used right, must click at the right second cause when the game is making the clone, shaco is not there at that second, instant stealth, dropping aggro and dumping it to any possible things targetable around you, very nice escape tool and finishing move. Turrets suck, max last. dont jungle, jungling=badsies.
Item logic: Botts and 3 hp pots are a good way to get a gank mid early game and make it to your lane before minions arrive. Sheen next for obvious reasons, makes the decieve combo even more dealy, infinity is rushed for the damage, Berserker's effect is not neccessary for kills, priority after infinity edge. Last Whisper for even more armor pen and attack speed, making ur decieve even more potent. Dancer for the same reason as whisper, more damage and increased survivability when not decieveing, faster movement and higher crit and attack speed, bloodthrister for lots of life steal and damage.
Masteries and Summoner Spells: all based on personal preference, feel free to experiment.

Dungeon masters and loot junkies gather 'round, the mighty Blizzard hath foretold that everyone will be able to dive into the Diablo III beta this weekend.
That's right, Diablo III is going into open beta, which means you can play it, even if you're not a trendy hipster gaming journalist like Tarryn van der Byl. All you need is a valid Battle.net account, a Battletag, and the Diablo III client, which you can download right over here.
The beta allows you to play all the way up to level 13, and experience any of the five classes the game has to offer: Barbarian, Witch Doctor, Demon Hunter, Monk and Wizard.
Diablo III is being released on the 15 of May 2012, and the standard edition will retail for a whopping R500.

My true introduction to the ufo field, not just my cursory interest due to my own sightings, came in the form of a Keyhoe book, and I was lucky enough to find it at a goodwill. That and used book stores are great places to find these old classics.

Quite apt that a few hours ago the MoD have blocked the release of certain UFO files because "in this particular case the commissioner does not believe that release of the information concerned would further the legitimate public interest in any significant way."
The guy who published the book - Open Skies, Closed Minds - another good read!

How to Make POODLE'S POTATO PEPPER FRITTATA
Stir fry a package shredded Simply Potatoes in a little olive oil and butter. Place in a 9x13 baking dish.
Add more olive oil to the skillet and cook up a chopped onion til tender. Add a package of defrosted red, green, yellow pepper and onion blend veggies, a little minced garlic, some sliced mushrooms and some S&P. If you like herbs add them at this point. I use Mrs. Dash's Table Blend seasoning.
Add the veggie mixture to the potatoes, a handful of cheddar cheese and stir. Spread out evenly in the dish.
In a tall bowl with an electric hand mixer, mix 10 eggs, a half a cup of milk (evaporated milk makes it a little richer, but skim is fine), a couple dollops of lite sour cream, a spoonful of flour and a little more S&P. Beat til fully mixed and fluffy.
Pour the egg mixture on top of the veggie mixture. Sprinkle with a little more grated cheddar and pat down with the back of a spoon making sure the egg is settled down into the veggies.
Lay sliced fresh tomatoes on top and sprinkle a little shredded parmesan-Romano blend cheese on top of the tomatoes. Top with a few green onion slices for color.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until fully set.
TIP: As it cooks you can speed it along but pushing a knife down into the eggs to get the juices down inside the casserole where they will cook and the edges will not get too toasty.
Additions: Add chunky fresh salsa to the top if you like.

Hillary Clinton trails the entire top tier of Republican presidential candidates in hypothetical matchups, according to a new survey conducted by Fox News.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio maintains the largest margin of victory over the Democratic presidential candidate, and would beat Clinton today 50-42, according to the poll.
Jeb Bush, who has struggled to gain any traction among Republicans, still leads Clinton by 6 points. Donald Trump and Ben Carson each lead by 5 points, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz holds a 4-point lead over Clinton. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie finishes ahead of Clinton by 3 percentage points.
"Rubio not only commands the widest margin against Clinton, he's the only one who hits the 50 percent mark," wrote Fox News. "Rubio's margin comes entirely from men, who go for him over Clinton by 17 points. The two are tied among women voters. This is the first time Rubio has topped Clinton, although it's always been close — she was up by just one point in June (45 Clinton vs. 44 Rubio)."Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

To all the husbands out there – do you want to help your wife de-stress and take out some of the pressure she has at work and home? Check out the following ways you can do so:
1. Clean and romanticize the house. Nothing can stress a working woman more than coming home to a dirty house after a long day at work. If you happen to have a day off or you arrive home earlier, try to make your place a lot more orderly and romanticize it by either running a soothing bath or adding fresh flowers.
2. Serve her favorite drink as she gets home. After a tiring day, blow your wife away by having her favorite beverage ready for her when she comes home. Whether it's her favorite coffee blend, some kind of shake, or a frosty iced tea, she'll surely love indulging in it while resting.
3. Give her a massage. Of course, this is one of the surefire ways to fully please and relax a woman. I can't remember a woman I met who doesn't like massages, even once in a while. If you don't know how to give massages, then now is the time to learn and surprise her.
Do you have more suggestions?

You gotta hand it to U.S. stocks -- they sure put in a strong showing.
Stocks like Hansen Natural
But after posting the past century's highest gains, it's unlikely their streaks will continue. Or, as John Maynard Keynes poetically said, "trees don't grow to the sky." Even in the midst -- or coming out -- of this bear market, U.S. stocks are starting to look like the trees, while stocks in China and Brazil appear to be mere saplings.
Higher growth ... and higher returns
If there's a bright side to this volatile market, it's that it unraveled the misconception that every country's economy is coupled with the United States'.
It's simply not so.
Sure, countries like Mexico -- and, with it, companies like Cemex, which are inherently tied to the American economy -- will suffer and prosper alongside us. Not to mention debt-mired Eastern Europe, which will struggle to emerge from this crisis.
But you simply can't write off the emerging economies in countries like Brazil and China.
Stock market powerhouses
While U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to fall in 2009, the World Bank forecasts that China will grow by an astonishing 7.2%. Looking out to 2010 -- when only the most optimistic U.S. forecasters predict noteworthy domestic growth -- China is slated to grow another 7.7%
Not only is this good news for China, but it's also good news for Brazil. The Economist reported that China "recently overtook the United States as Brazil's biggest export market." So as China sees rising demand for its goods, Brazil will see rising demand for the commodities it lays claim to.
If you want direct exposure to foreign economies, there are two basic ways to play this trend:
- You could buy a mutual fund or an exchange-traded fund that holds a diverse basket of foreign stocks. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF
(NYSE: EEM), which holds more than 320 stocks, is a good choice.
- Or, you could cherry-pick best-of-breed foreign stocks, researched by analysts who have met with the executives, scoured the tricky financials, and have their own hard-earned money behind many of their picks.
You certainly won't go wrong with the first option -- it's a great way to profit from the overall emergence of these economies.
But the second option is the way to go if you're a do-it-yourselfer interested in finding stocks with the potential for much higher gains. And guys like Tim Hanson and Nate Parmelee, co-advisors of Motley Fool Global Gains, are two of the brightest minds seeking out the world's next stock success story.
And the best part -- they recently returned from a trip around rural China doing just that.
Some have labeled them insane to venture outside of China's top cities like Beijing and Shanghai, but they believe that "the farther we get outside tier 1 cities ... the more likely we are to discover our next great investment idea."
Uncovering the world's gems
Granted, there's no such thing as a risk-free stock, but you're much better off with recommendations uncovered by a team that has actually taken the time to meet with the company at its headquarters, talk with the executives one on one, and then still recommend the stocks.
One of the companies the Global Gains team visited was China Mobile
Another company at the top of their list, which they also visited, has a stock that's up more than 438% since they first recommended it in October 2008. But they believe gains like this are far from over. The company has a clean balance sheet, is growing rapidly, and is selling at a discount to their estimates of its intrinsic value. Better yet, it has the potential to become the Chinese version of Monsanto
You can see this company's ticker -- as well as all the other companies they uncovered on their trip -- completely free with a guest pass to Motley Fool Global Gains. Just click here for more information and, when you're in, look for the "One Winner We Still Like."

Adam J. Wiederman owns no shares of the stocks mentioned above. The Motley Fool owns shares of Cemex. Cemex and Marvel Entertainment are Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendations. Hansen Natural is a Rule Breakers recommendation. The Motley Fool's disclosure policy has a lot of potential.

I really don't care what anyone thinks anymore....
My husband died in Iraq. This was his "if anything happens to me" letter. I had it tattooed right where he had his tattoo, on my inner arm. I don't care WHO likes it, I don't care IF they like it.

Not a bad product for the price. I am disappointed (and now understand why the power pod is required) that the eyeglass battery runs out of power very quickly, even after a full charge. I have yet to have it last more than 15 minutes of not constant shooting pictures and videos, (and that is with the auto shutoff set to 3 or 5 minutes). I purchased the live stream pod but have not yet tried it. The pictures are clear but a future version should include some sort of zoom. A vast improvement over the original and hopefully future versions will offer more capability.

Pivothead Smart is a fantastic product compared to everything else on the market. The video and image quality is amazing for what it is. The only thing is my head is rather large and the size of the glasses makes it a bit too tight, the other thing is the battery life of the glasses is not as comparable as other glasses.

I work with dogs in various skills. Tried a go pro with head gear, chest strap and holding it. Head and chest the camera bounced. Kinda hard to hold while working dogs. Purchased the Pivothead Smart edition. Love the ease of use. Love the crisp clear video.

I'm very happy with my sun glasses smart edition the quality are very fine and the size are very similar like to another glasses, the only issue is when it's recording the part of where the battery goes are to heat, but are very nice glasses
Posted by David D on 13th Mar 2017
I used these on a ski trip and they took some amazing video. However, the charge on the battery didn't last very long. Maybe 10-15 minutes. Not what I was expecting given current battery technology.
Posted by Jonathan Munnier on 26th Jun 2016
I just want to say that I love these glasses. They're an innovative product that offers a lot out of the box, and with continued upgrades in software and development of more features in the future, plus maybe finding a way for a little bit more stability to reduce shakiness with quicker head turns and whatnot, there's a lot of potential to make an already amazing product even better! I've had them for about a week and a half, and I've already gotten a ton of interest in them from fellow musicians and falconers who were impressed by the video quality and live streaming potential these glasses have to offer. I believe in them enough that I've already applied to the affiliate program and I hope I get to become one, because I really enjoyed showing them to some of my bass brothers in the Warwick family, including the owner of Warwick. A few of them are already ready to buy a pair, and are waiting to see if I get accepted so they can buy some through me!
I can't wait to see where the future leads for Pivothead, and I firmly believe that the arrow is only pointing up for this company!
Keep rocking it!

I have been a fan of Pivothead recording glasses for a long time. I owned the Pivothead Durango version in the past but I decided to upgrade when I discovered Pivothead was coming out with a new version.
I wanted these glasses mainly for making videos for my YouTube Channel (JoDroProductions)
I was pleasantly surprised of the build quality and style of the new Pivothead Smart glasses. I style mine with the half jackets because they seem more discreet that way. Battery life is very good, 20-30 minutes tops with out the fuel mod, 40-50 minutes with the fuel mod attached.
Only issues I have found is that when the glasses overheat, you are not able to turn off the glasses, not even with the phone app's assistance. You will lose your footage if the glasses shut off while you are recording. The previous recorded files that are stored on the glasses will be just fine. Files only become corrupted when glasses shut off mid recording.
Other than that I am very happy with my Pivothead Smart glasses and I already have several videos on my YouTube Page showcasing the glasses performance .

Today, I received my pair of SMART ARCHITECT BETA EDITION - COAL BLACK (MATTE) glasses.
Here are my initial observations...
The FedEx shipment arrived on time without issue.
Unboxing the SMART ARCHITECT BETA EDITION - COAL BLACK (MATTE) glasses felt a lot like unboxing an Apple product. A lot of polish went into the packaging.
Documentation has pictures for the bigger words. It's minimal at best. Everything else you might need is online. I printed the tech specs out to PDF just so I don't need to keep going online to get the details.
Packaged documentation tells you to charge up. Unfortunately it does not tell you how long you'll have to wait. Online specified about an hour. The reality of the situation on my 2012, 17-inch MacBook Pro was more like 2 hours.
I downloaded the OS X app. The firmware upgrade went smoothly.
I registered my device online.
REQUEST ARCHITECT SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS - Put the functionality into your desktop app - one stop shopping would be preferred here - besides, the serial number on the glass is super tiny. Almost as bad as Apple! Let the software pull the S/N and have a registration page in your desktop app for those of us who don't want to go blind trying to decipher if that's an uppercase I or a lower case l. ;-)
Other than that, the OS X app is fairly straight forward. I'm not a fan of the Microsoft Windows 10 style UI and color scheme, especially on my Mac, but hey - at least the software performs as expected.
I downloaded the iOS companion app for my iPhone - same as the OS X desktop app - performs as expected. I love the ability to control the camera from the phone and change settings on the fly. Very nice.
I wish the iPhone app has a preview mode - similar to HTC's RE. Architect Software Developers - Something to think about... ;-)
After everything was charged up, I took the unit out for a test run. Product documentation doesn't tell us how long the internal battery life is good for without a Fuel Mod. I got about 20-30 minutes in before LED's started flashing. According to the iPhone app, I was down to 50%.
Physical design... The glasses have some weight to the front. This is to be expected since I'm guessing this is where the bulk of the components are physically located.
The frames are a bit wide. I have a smaller head (6-3/4 hat size)... The glass feel a little loose and sloppy on me and when I lean forward, the slip forward off my nose. I'm going to have to find a way to make them more secure on my face.
Touch controls worked quite well for video, image capture and burst mode. Getting the time lapse to work without the iPhone app is tricky and I doubt its something I will use much, especially without the app.
I don't have the LiveMod yet, so I can't speak to those features.
Image stabilization is fairly solid, but I do find myself getting a bit queazy when watching a video with a lot of motion (ie walking, head turning, etc.). The quality is pretty good. Superfine mode is still a bit grainy at times. I might need to play with the focus a bit.
I walked around downtown for sometime while filming. The glasses were super discreet and no one batted an eye at me. I really like this.
I did try to put the wire frames on and they were more trouble than they were worth. Stuck with the plastic frames. Also, I notice the threads on the glasses where the screws belong are plastic. Too many frame/lens swaps and you might end up with stripped plastic. I am thinking a little blue locktight might be in order too.
All in all, a very nice set up.
4 stars overall for quality and ease of use.
I'm looking forward to the LiveMod arriving soon so I can test that out as well.

I previously owned two pairs of Durangos but alas, both broke possibly due to hard use. I liked the way those glasses really clamped onto the head. Excellent for action.
So, the SMART series are in many ways better: The look, the modularity and the much needed fuel mod! Had some issues with connectivity to the Android app, still drops out on connectivity but does get there.
The additional battery juice support makes up for those niggles.
Here's my only very minor gripe: the previous series really stuck to my head. The SMARTs are just a little loose on the head. I would really prefer these if they gripped my head like an octopus before using for action.
Perhaps there's an accessory that could resolve this? A strap or something would make this awesome! Would definitely fall off at high speed otherwise.
Anyway, love these and use everyday.
Well done.

This model has some major improvements over the original and the smart features are much appreciated. Lights inside the front frame can be seen when wearing so you can tell when recording, streaming, or when livemod connects to wifi. Port covers keep coming off when removing livemod or fuelmod - will probably end up losing those but this is a minor fix - would suggest that one end stay attached. Great picture quality with lots of setting options and easy touch controls. Heat up when streaming but designed so that they don't touch your head where warm - something that was a problem with Google Glass, so kudos to the Pivothead team for working that out. Awesome product - bought 5 and will probably end up with a few more.

The idea of science was completely unknown to them, rather they explained natural phenomena as done by mythical deities. In Greek mythology, this is how we come to certain instances like Apollo, the Sun God, or Zeus, the God of the Heavens and Sky.The idea of the Sun seemingly running across the horizon was rationalized by them as Apollo driving his blazing chariot through the sky. Night was formed by his rest and subsequent absence. Thunderstorms were Zeus's anger. His cherished lightning bolt destroyed those who caused him an offense.And this goes on and on with each of the Gods having domain over certain areas of natural life. There is Poseidon whose domain was the sea. If you wanted to cross the water on a ship, it was an absolute must to pray and sacrifice to him. Hades ruled the underworld.

NORWICH Steven Spittler aims to become Norwichs first state qualifier in cross country in over a decade, and the determined high school junior has an excellent shot at reaching his goal based on his recent performances.
The leading runner on the NHS team, Spittler, 16, entered the Marine Corps Half Marathon in Albany on Oct. 7, and he came home with the top finish in his age group and placed third overall timing 1:17.40 (a 5:56/mile rate) over the 13-mile course.
To repeat, he was third out of 520 runners.

You don't see it. You are always on the verge, theres a tightness in your voice, a bother in your sigh. I can see it when you walk in a room, everyones on edge. You don't understand, but I do. I am one of them. I am one of them watching you but they do not live with you like I do. No, they know but they do not really know. They do not know how your grip is strong and bruising, they do not know your voice is deep and grating. They do not see your mocking, but I do. They do not see your obsessing, they do not understand how oppressing , but then you, you have changed as quickly as you were the same… They see, but they do not see as I see. You are yourself until you are angry, then you become someone else. Someone others do not see, no you save this side for me and your family. I will never be like you.

A winter birch tree.December 3, 2010
It's all curled up and asleep in my hand, its tiny heart beating a mile a minute. There is not a thing in the world that could capture its soft spirit: It is so tiny. The cold wind whips around me as snow flurries begin to fall; I gently kneel down and recover the nest, placing the baby mouse back inside. It is something to incredibly simple yet, complicated. I shiver to think of the task before the mother mouse. After placing the board back , i quickly cover it over with snow, taking care to check over my shoulder to see if anyone is watching. Then, brushing the clumped snow off my knitted mittens, I hurry up the icy path, away from the old barn.
There is a bang as the door blows shut behind me, sending cold air whirling around the living room. The house is filled with the glow of a winter fire and the smell of fresh-baked bread. I sit down in the faded floral upholstered chair, yanking off my boots, while the wind howls outside.

OS Maps feature in ITV's Britain's Favourite Walks next week
Tune into ITV at 7.30pm on Tuesday 30 January to see the nation's favourite 100 walks revealed across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland*. Alongside National Trust and The Ramblers, we teamed up with ITV last year to encourage outdoors enthusiasts to vote for their favourite walks, and now the results are set to be revealed.
Over two and a half hours, presenters Julia Bradbury and Ore Oduba will showcase rambles, scrambles and ambles across the UK's cities, countryside and coastline. We're extremely pleased to say that four of our GetOutside champions will also be featuring in the programme, accompanying Julie and Ore on their walks. Look out for Two Blondes Walking in their favourite environment, Dartmoor; Zoe Homes (AKA Splodz) in Scotland; Phoebe Smith, wild camper and extreme sleeper; and the Get Out With the Kids family tackling the Chilterns.
Personal touch – what we really want this Christmas
Forget splashing the cash and extravagant gifts this Christmas – according to our study what we really want from friends and family is something personal and thoughtful.
Whether it's a jar of jam or chutney, a book or something crafty, research revealed 9 out of 10 of us say the most important part of a gift is the time and effort that goes into it, as opposed to the cost.
Corrine Sweet, Author and Psychologist, said: "Nothing stays in the memory and mind more than important experiences and beautiful images – especially when they celebrate our hobbies. Something personalised means 'I know you and want to make you smile' and a custom-made map reflects good times in your life."
With that in mind, we think our OS Custom Made map is the perfect stocking filler for both outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who wants to capture a memory of that special location.
From Argentina to New Zealand – it's not just Brits who are buying from the OS shop
Whether it's people buying the essential maps and outdoor equipment to help them enjoy the great outdoors, or searching for the perfect gift, our online store is attracting shoppers from around the world. The shop, which opened in 1999, has sold items to people in 40 countries, including Panama, Madagascar, Mexico, Sierra Leone and Guatemala. That's around 20% of the countries around the world!
The green shading denotes the countries who have bought from the OS shop this year
With Black Friday coming up and a busy Christmas period around the corner, we wonder if we can clock up a few more countries? The top five countries buying from the OS shop so far are:
Charity comedy gig to mark #NationalMapReadingWeek
We all know that getting outside for a walk is great for both our physical and mental well-being, but did you know that having a good belly-laugh can provide another boost to wellness? We're supporting Solent Mind as our corporate charity, raising funds to support better mental health, so the prospect of a charity comedy gig with a map theme during #NationalMapReadingWeek was irresistible.
Comedy performer Helen Wood came to our attention this summer, when she was performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, as Helen's show explored one of her passions, OS maps. The eight performances of 'The OS Map Fan Club', were sold out at Edinburgh.
Helen is performing her solo show at our Southampton head office on Monday 16 October at 7pm. Space is limited, so booking is necessary, and attendees are asked to make a minimum donation of £5 on the night to gain access. To reserve your place email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Augmented Reality in the great outdoors
By Tim Newman, Consumer Product Manager
For over a decade, OS has been active in the field of augmented reality – proving the concept back in 2006 with a thought-leading paper on Mobile Augmented Reality, and more recently prototyping 3D maps of Mars, and creating a navigation app for a Shoreditch basement. We're now really excited to be using this augmented reality technology to introduce a new feature for OS Maps.
The recently released AR feature will help users learn about their surroundings by labelling and categorising the features around them, finally overcoming the big limitation of maps on mobile: the small screen. Have you ever looked out over a stunning vista and found yourself struggling to identify a hill or work out how far it was to the town below you? Now you can simply hold up your smartphone to find out what you're looking at and how far away it is. If a place catches your interest, just tap on the label to find out more about it.
This fun and informative new feature was made possible by combining sensor data from the phone with OS data of over 200,000 hills, mountains, coastal features, lakes, settlements, transport hubs and areas of woodland. As a company of data experts, it's fantastically rewarding to make use of our data to help make the outdoors more enjoyable, accessible and safe. This is what motivates the team and, combined with the great feedback we get from users, drives us to continue improving OS Maps – so keep your eyes peeled for the next bunch of features we're working on to make it easier than ever to plan your time outdoors. There's never been a better time to open up OS Maps and GetOutside!
To find out more about AR head to https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getoutside/ar/.
Stay tuned to the blog to learn from Layla Gordon in the tech labs team about how it works and the exciting projects that she's developing with augmented reality.
Britain's top trig-bagger adds FBMs to his haul
Some of you may remember Rob Woodall, we shared his story in 2016 as he completed a 13-year mission to bag 6,190 trig pillars across Great Britain. Not content with that, Rob's now added all 201 fundamental benchmarks (FBM – see photo below) to his haul. Rob fills us in on his challenge and talks about other OS survey marks he likes to bag along the way…
My first FBM was Wolsingham in lovely Weardale, in 2004. A group of us get together once a year, and that year the gathering was hosted by a couple who live in Wolsingham and they put together an itinerary which included trig pillars (my main interest at the time) and also mysterious things such as non-pillar flush brackets (NPFBs, which are FBs on structures other than pillars, such as houses, churches, bridges etc) – and the local fundamental benchmark. So I started ticking off NPFBs and FBMs too.
It's taken 13 and a half years to bag 201 FBMs (including all but 6 of the destroyed ones – which I'll get round to eventually) – coincidentally about the same time it took to bag 6,190 trig pillars – which is not great productivity. However, the last two were Patrington (which we all thought was destroyed until it turned up in 2016 when the householder took out a big laurel tree in their garden) – and Windsor Castle which we all assumed was out of bounds. Eventually a friend sent off a letter to the Royal Collection Trust to see if we could visit the FBM, and the answer was yes! – provided HRH was away at the time. So with no particular plan, I ended up finishing the list this year.
Roman Britain as you've never seen it before
We do love a different take on a map, and Sasha Trubetskoy provided that with his London Underground-style map of Britain's Roman roads. This historic map with a difference proved hugely popular recently and was a follow-up on Sasha's work on a European map.
Snowdon tops the list for Britain's most trodden paths
Did you know that OS Maps subscribers added over 400,000 routes to the service over the last 12 months? We've analysed the (almost) 400,000 public routes and found that Snowdon bags the top spot for most routes created.
We broke the country down into square kilometres and counted the number of routes passing through each square, and while Snowdon topped this list, the Edale area of the Peak District grabbed 6 of the top 10 spots, with the Lake District taking the remaining places.
Custom Made Britain
Yes, there are 607 OS paper maps of Great Britain for you to choose from, but did you know there are also infinite Custom Made maps you can order? Tens of thousands of you have already put your Custom Made map orders in, creating enough map areas to cover the moon three times, an amazing 111.5 million km2 of Britain printed on your maps.
This shows Custom Made map orders a week at a time since February 2012, with the centre points coloured based on the map type: Orange = OS Explorer, Pink = OS Landranger.
Safety first on #GetOutside adventures
If you're a regular blog reader, it will be no surprise to hear us talking about safety. We launched National Map Reading Week last year and talk about safety tips every single year. So you can imagine how dismayed we were to read this:
When you also know that Mountain Rescue England & Wales (MREW) attended 1,812 callouts last year, up 170 on 2015, and that 500 of those callouts were avoidable, and reasons include people getting lost…then you can see why we keep talking about safety.
We've teamed up with MREW to make the great outdoors more enjoyable, accessible and safe for all, by encouraging everyone to be more mindful and better prepared when heading outside. Why? Because MREW's 2016 callout figures showed incidents to be up for the fourth year running. And our own survey of 2,000 outdoors enthusiasts revealed 76% of British recreational walkers and hikers do not properly plan their route or what to pack in preparation of their walk/hike.

PLAINFIELD — U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) will chair a field hearing of the Senate Banking Committee's Subcommittee on Housing, Transportation, and Community Development on the topic of "Saving Our Neighborhoods from Foreclosures" at the Black United Fund Health and Human Services, 403 West 7th Street, Plainfield, beginning at 11 a.m. Friday.
Menendez chose Plainfield due to the high number of foreclosures in the area as well as the devastating effects those foreclosures have on the community.
Topics covered by the Senator and witnesses will include the effects of foreclosures on New Jersey neighborhoods such as families displaced, crime, and declines in home values. They will also review what steps the Senator and other witnesses have taken or are advocating to fix these problems, such as funding for foreclosure counseling; more sustainable mortgage modifications including reducing the debt owed through shared appreciation; new standards for mortgage servicing; helping homeowners refinance; and more quickly fixing properties that have been foreclosed or converting them to rentals. The hearing is open to the public to observe the proceedings only. There will not be an opportunity for public comment.
Menendez will also discuss legislation he introduced this week that would allow homeowners to refinance at the current value of their homes. His legislation would allow families to remain in their homes and banks continue to receive mortgage payments, stabilizing neighborhoods and the economy.
The scheduled witnesses include Plainfield Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs; Assmblyman Jerry Green; Krishna Garlic, chief executive officer of Brand New Day; Wayne Meyer, president of New Jersey Community Capital; Phyllis Salowe-Kaye, executive director of New Jersey Citizen Action and Alan Mallach, senior fellow of the Brookings Institution and board member emeritus of the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey.

Some news audiences are more politically savvy than others, according to a new poll, with readers of The New Yorker and similar high-brow magazines being the most knowledgeable.
The survey, conducted between April 30 and June 1 by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, measured the political knowledge of 3,612 U.S. adults. Participants were asked to name the controlling party of the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. secretary of state and Great Britain's prime minister.
Overall, just 18 percent of participants answered all three questions correctly.
More than 50 percent of Americans knew that the Democrats have a majority in the House, while 42 percent could identify the secretary of state (Condoleezza Rice). Less than 30 percent could name the prime minister of Great Britain (Gordon Brown).
Perfect scores
The best-informed news audiences crossed the ideological spectrum. Nearly half of regular readers of The New Yorker, The Atlantic and Harper's Magazine answered all three political knowledge questions correctly.
A perfect score was obtained by 44 percent of regular listeners of National Public Radio (NPR), 43 percent of regular viewers of MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and 42 percent of the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" audience. Thirty-four percent of "The Colbert Report" audience and 30 percent of "The Daily Show" audience got all three questions correct.

This article is part of our DFS Basketball 101 series.
Daily fantasy basketball can be the perfect bridge from football to baseball because its the most constant daily fantasy game night in, night out. We're here to break down the three major daily fantasy sites and their fantasy basketball games. Last week, we broke down how to win tournaments on FanDuel. This week, we tackle DraftKings.
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball
Salary Cap - $50,000
Roster Composition – G, SG, SF, PF, C, G, F, UTIL (eight players total)
Average Cost Per Position - $6250
Average Salary Range per Player – Floor ($3000), Ceiling ($12,000-variable no limit).
Scoring System:
Points = 1 point
Made Three-Point Shot = 0.5 points
Assists = 1.5 points
Rebounds = 1.25 points
Steals = 2 points
Blocks = 2 points
Turnover = -0.5 points
Double-Double = 1.5 points (Max 1 per player)
Triple-Double = 3 points (Max 1 per player)
DraftKings has a combination of fixed and open positions, which makes for the best of both worlds. Also, DraftKings has multiple positions and the qualifications are very low, so this makes for great roster composition. DraftKings' salary algorithm is considered to be in the middle -- not too tight, but not too loose. You can make a roster with stars and scrubs or mid-tier players on most nights. There are always several $3.000 value plays that can return 25 fantasy points or more.
DraftKings is "performance-based" scoring like Fanduel, but with the added carrot of the double-double and triple-double bonuses, which makes point guards and big men more valuable. Also, because turnovers are only -0.5, the strategy is to find a point guard that is shooting guard eligible, while also sliding another point guard into your guard slot. For example, Stephen Curry is PG/SG eligible, so on nights where you can fit him in your lineup owners will want to play him at shooting guard.
The second bonus DK offers is the made three-point shot (+0.5 points). While the bonuses may only be a few points per player on a given night, if you multiply them by the eight-player roster you can end up with additional points to put you in the money.
Double-Double Leaders (through 12/28/13):
1) Kevin Love PF/C – 27
2) Chris Paul PG – 25
3) Blake Griffin PF/C – 23
4) Andre Drummond PF/C – 22
5) Dwight Howard PF/C – 21
6) David Lee PF/C – 18
7) LaMarcus Aldridge PF/C – 17
8) Zach Randolph PF/C – 17
9) DeMarcus Cousins C/PF – 16
10) Nikola Pekovic C – 15
11) Nikola Vucevic C/PF – 15
12) Stephen Curry PG/SG – 14
13) Paul Millsap PF – 13
14) Serge Ibaka PF/C – 13
15) Greg Monroe PF/C – 13
16) DeAndre Jordan C – 13
17) Carmelo Anthony SF/PF – 12
18) Anthony Davis PF/C – 12
19) Pau Gasol C/PF – 12
20) Robin Lopez C – 12
Note: The majority of the double-doubles come from the PF or C position. You can play a PF at the PF, F, and UTIL positions. This combined with your three point guards at PG/SG/G is the best strategy from a roster composition standpoint.
Three-Pointers Made Per Game:
1) Stephen Curry, PG – 3.2
2) Damian Lillard, PG – 3.2
3) Ryan Anderson, PF – 3.1
4) Klay Thompson, SG – 2.9
5) Kyle Korver, SG – 2.9
6) Jose Calderon, PG – 2.7
7) Wesley Matthews, SG – 2.7
8) Gerald Green, SG – 2.6
9) Trevor Ariza, SF – 2.6
10) Bradley Beal, SG – 2.6
Factors for Outperforming Salary
One of the biggest keys in daily fantasy basketball is knowing how to extract value from players on a given night. Here are some of the things to consider:
1) Player is on a hot streak and salary is not yet reflected (e.g. J.R. Smith)
2) Player is inheriting additional playing time due to injury/suspension/player out (e.g. Reggie Jackson)
3) Player has favorable matchup against opposing position (e.g. PG vs Utah)
4) Player has favorable matchup against poor team defense (e.g. vs 76ers)
5) Player has favorable matchup against backup opposing defender (e.g. Jared Sullinger undersized)
6) Player is going against a team that recently made a trade but is shorthanded (e.g. Bucks, Kings)
7) Player returns from injury giving value to teammates (e.g. Deron Williams)
Target Scores
In order to win on DraftKings, you need to know what scores are needed when projecting players. Breaking down each position and category gives you the baselines needed to correctly project the players who will outperform their salary.
Tournaments (Guaranteed Prize Pool) – 300 (average score to take first place in a large field tournament)
Target Score – 300 points; eight players on roster, 37.5 Fantasy Points per player
The average player on DraftKings' production-to-salary ratio is around 4.75x, meaning that a player averaging 57 fantasy points will have a $12,000 salary. The key is finding players with as many positive factors going for them on a particular night, so you can achieve those 6-10 times their normal production multipliers you need to win. Note: This is based on year-to-date FPPG and current salaries.
Sample Breakdown of how DraftKings' salary algorithm works (Average FP = Average Salary Range):
Return-On-Investment (ROI) Target Multiplier – Value Plays (8x-10x), Mid-Tier Plays (6x-7x), Top Tier Plays (4x-5x)
Value Salary Range = $3000-$4900 -- (25-50 points) High Ceiling Plays
Mid-Tier Salary Range = $5000-$7900 -- (30-55 points) Ceiling Plays
Top Tier Salary Range = $8000-$12000 -- (40-60 points) Floor Plays
Breakdown by Scoring Category for Target Score (300 Points):
Points = 160 (160 x 1)
Three-Pointers Made = 4 (8 x 0.5)
Rebounds = 62 (50 x 1.25)
Assists = 50 (34 x 1.5)
Steals = 18 ( 9 x 2)
Blocks = 12 (6 x 2)
Turnovers = -8 (16 x -0.5)
Double-Double = 2 (1.5 x 1.5)
Here is my lineup from December 25th that scored 296 fantasy points:
PG Russell Westbrook ($8600)- 53.25 FP (6.19x ROI)
SG Kirk Hinrich ($3800) - 19.25 FP (5.06x ROI)
SF JR Smith ($5200) - 34.5 FP (6.63x ROI)
PF Tim Duncan ($7300) - 51.5 FP (7.05x ROI)
C Chris Bosh ($6400) - 43.25 FP (6.75x ROI)
G Manu Ginobili ($4900) - 27.75 FP (5.66x ROI)
F David Lee ($7600) - 44.75 FP (5.88x ROI)
UTIL Carlos Boozer ($6200) - 22 FP (3.54x ROI)
Stats: 69 rebounds, seven three-pointers, 28 assists, nine blocks, six steals, 15 turnovers, 133 points, four double-doubles, one triple-double
Fantasy Points: 86.25 rebounds, 3.5 three-pointers, 42 assists, 18 blocks, 12 steals, -7.5 turnovers, 133 points, six double-doublesl, three triple-doubles
I passed on all the high-priced players like Durant, LeBron, Curry, Paul, Howard, and Griffin because of the smaller slate and I wanted a more balanced lineup.
Westbrook had Beno Udrih defending him and Oklahoma City was favored by 10 points. While Westbrook struggled from the floor that night, he still managed to finish the triple-double, which gave me bonus points. Plus, at $8600, Westbrook offered up elite upside at a discounted price compared to a guy like Curry.
Hinrich plays the point, but he's shooting guard eligible. He was still only $3800, as his salary still wasn't adjusted for the time he was sidelined.
Smith was a must value play because of Carmelo Anthony was sidelined.
Duncan is a must play when the Spurs have recently given him rest or the team is resting other players that night. The game was against Houston with a whopping over/under of 213, so I knew the contest would be played at a high pace.
Bosh was in play at just $6400 because the Lakers' interior defense is putrid. Plus, LeBron and Wade still weren't 100 percent, and there was a strong rumor one of them wasn't going to play. That didn't happen, but Bosh still ended up with a great game.
Ginobili was an obvious play at $4900 in the highest-scoring over/under total of the day. Plus, Houston allows the fourth most scoring points to opposing shooting guards, and I wanted at least two Spurs from that game.
On DraftKings, I heavily weight what the opposing team allows at points/rebounds combined, making Lee a must-play. The Clippers are the worst team in the league allowing opposing PF's total points and rebounds.
Boozer was in a very low-scoring game against the Nets, so I normally would steer away from that situation. But with Rose out, Boozer gets the ball more and the Nets give up the most rebounds to opposing power forwards.

You'll be sure to feel more patriotic after having a bite out of this loaf.
San Luis Obispo, CA (PRWEB) June 30, 2014
House of Bread celebrates our nation's birthday by creating a red, white and blue loaf. The Fourth of July loaf is braided and contains dried cranberries, dried apples and fresh blueberries on top. Then the loaf is topped with frosting. Perfect loaf for the picnic table on 4th of July. House of Bread also continues the red, white and blue theme into our muffins and scones for the day. Come see all the color-starting July 3rd-6th.
If you'd like to make your own loaf at home, the recipe is below.
Yield amount is approximately three pounds of dough to make two braided loaves.
1 1/2 cups of warm water (approximately 100 degrees)
4 cups of unbleached flour (approximately a pound)
2 packages or one and 3/4 tablespoons of active dry yeast
1/4 cup of honey
1/4 cup of dried or sliced apples
1/4 cup of dried cranberries
3 Tabespoons of vanilla
1 tablespoon of salt.
Knead the dough for 6-8 minutes until the dough stretches, and holds together. It should be smooth and free of lumps.
Once you have the good dough stage, then divide into half. Then divide each half into three equal pieces and braid it. Once it is braided you can add fresh blueberries, strawberries or any other red, and blue themed fruit. You just don't want to use frozen fruit or fresh berries in the mixing as it turns the dough purple and/or red.
Bake for 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

The Top 3 Innovations in Mobile Video Advertising
Innovations include customizable interactivity, dynamic ad stitching and live streaming.
Innovations include customizable interactivity, dynamic ad stitching and live streaming.
In the last couple of years, mobile video has quickly become a valuable advertising medium recognized by major brands and top publishers as a key to digital success. Taking a look into the recent past, a few innovations have had an especially significant impact on mobile video's rise to fame. These are the three that stand out as pacesetters for the continued growth of our industry.
1: Fully Customizable Interactivity Options
Mobile video interactivity used to be a tad on the boring side — a small, often colorless button asked users to tap through to a landing page so consumers could learn more about the brand's products and services. Sometimes there were no buttons at all, with the entire ad acting as an interactive hotspot.
Given that interactivity is the major feature that separates mobile video from television, getting interactivity right can make a big difference to brands trying to engage viewers beyond the initial ad impression. Asking viewers to click just isn't enough.
Luckily for brands, significantly better engagement technology exists, helping brands garner higher completion, engagement, and even conversion rates. With fully customizable ad experiences featuring thousands of options beyond the little gray button of yesteryear, advertisers can harness the power of everything from unique calls-to-action — including social sharing and device response activities like accelerometer integration or tap to add to calendar — to branded dynamic overlays and interactive end cards. This allows brands to create more holistic ad experiences, making the interaction both more meaningful and more deeply integrated into the brand experience itself. The options are vast and can be tailored to meet the needs of most campaign objectives. With a creative mindset, the latest in interactive technology allows for just about anything — and it's only getting better.
2: Dynamic Ad Stitching
Not the newest of innovations but certainly one that keeps improving, dynamic ad stitching is what's responsible for delivering a seamless mobile video viewing experience similar to that of TV. With video files being delivered at over one megabit per second, viewers experience little to no lag time and fast, no-buffer downloads. In this on-demand ad-serving environment, dynamic ad stitching allows for real-time targeting. Unlike pre-caching, dynamic stitching makes it possible for publishers to serve different ads to different viewers based on specific attributes, all within the same content. Already used for contextual targeting, this technology will come in especially handy as new targeting technology becomes widely available.
3: Live Streaming for Mobile Video
A recent mobile video innovation that is still in its infancy, mobile live streaming will open up millions more impressions and will eventually change the very nature of how we watch sports, music, and other live events. With the technology now available to stitch ads dynamically as both pre-roll and mid-roll placements in live mobile video content, the opportunities are vast. Publishers can monetize increasing amounts of live content, allowing brands to align fully with important sports and music events, while driving more relevant viewing experiences for the consumer.
These three innovations have not only catapulted mobile video into the spotlight, they are driving it toward the mainstream. These, as well as innovations in targeting and content syndication, signal the growing maturity of the mobile video marketplace.
